Episode 147: Black wings, flying in the soul

"Is this Wenwen's soul world?"

Ji Haitang was a little distracted, presented in front of her, there was no sky, no earth, all looked at the strange world of pitch black, in this world, the only thing that existed was those countless bubble-like objects, these bubbles emitted a faint light, looking from afar, like stars in the night sky.

Ji Haitang also discovered that a pair of wings that were originally hidden in her body, I don't know what the reason was, they were automatically revealed.

"What's that?"

Seeing the bubbles slowly floating around in the distance, Ji Haitang felt a little curious, and she flapped her wings and flew towards them.

Approaching those bubbles, Ji Haitang saw clearly that they were not completely transparent, and the surface of all the bubbles was like a mirror, playing something. On top of a bubble, you can clearly see Semeimaru Fumi holding a camera in his hand, hiding behind a tree, secretly looking outside, which seems to be a shrine. In front of the shrine, a girl with only a coat on her upper body looked at the sky with an angry face, as if she was saying something, but Shotimaru had a look of surprise and joy on her face.

Ji Haitang was extremely surprised, she went to look at the other bubbles, and found that they were all playing all kinds of pictures. In each bubble, there is a life-shooting pill text, but the difference is that the location and other rooms have changed.

"Could it be that these are Wenwen's memories?"

The more Ji Haitang looked at it, the more sure she became.

These bubbles seem to be the memories of Shotmaruwen, they are large and small, and the larger the appearance, the more important these memories should be in her mind.

Although she was very interested in these things, Ji Haitang still suppressed the idea of finding out, after all, she was here to save the life pill, not to see her memory.

Of course, it would be great if you could save Shotimaru and learn her secrets.

After sorting out her mind, Ji Haitang encountered problems again, these memory bubbles were scattered in the entire space in a disorderly manner, and she couldn't decide which direction she should go in at all.

Just when she felt that there was nothing she could do, the Jade of the Four Souls that she was holding in her hand suddenly emitted a ray of light, shooting forward, extending until she could not see the distance.

"Which direction?"

Unexpectedly, the Jade of the Four Souls would give him instructions, Ji Haitang was overjoyed and hurriedly flew there.

Along the way, even if Ji Haitang couldn't go to see it, those dense bubbles still made her see a lot of things. She finally knew how she knew Dongfang Yao, but she really didn't expect them to have such a bad start. Those memory bubbles related to Dongfang Yao were very small at first, but later, they became bigger and bigger.

The memory bubble shows a lot of things that happened to Seimari Maru, some about her daily life, some about her duels with others, but most of all, the memories of Semei Maru. Voyeurism, tracking, eavesdropping, all kinds of ways that can even be called extremely vicious, made Ji Haitang greatly open his eyes. I have to admit that this guy is indeed more suitable to be a journalist than himself.

It's so shameless.

In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, this is the best explanation of the Shooting Pill Text.

It's just that if these things were known to the Great Tengu-sama, she would definitely be punished, after all, what she did greatly damaged the dignity of the Tengu clan!

Of course, the process of taking the material of the shooting pill is not so easy, and sometimes there are many "accidents". For example, I happened to see a witch in black who wanted to break into the underground library of the foreign museum, and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out some news, but I didn't expect the war to expand, and I became a fish in the pond instead, and I was almost killed. As for things such as being discovered because of voyeurism and being beaten to the point by a violent witch, it is even more commonplace.

In short, after reading the experience of shooting pills, I have to sigh that being a journalist is really a profession full of blood and tears!

"Huh?"

Ji Haitang suddenly found a somewhat special memory bubble, it is not particularly large, unlike other bubbles, this memory bubble is not translucent, but with a little pink.

Seeing this unusual bubble, Ji Haitang's curiosity paused, and she hurriedly flew towards the thing.

There was nothing special about the image displayed in the pink memory bubble, but Ji Haitang only glanced at it and was stunned.

On the slope of an unknown hill, a little girl with a double ponytail was kneeling on the grass, intently weaving a wreath.

"Hey, Begonia, what do you see I've found?"

A girl with short black hair ran up from the bottom of the hill in a hurry, and before she could reach it, she was already shouting loudly.

"Didn't you find something weird again? Wow, I hate it! Don't come near me with that kind of thing. ”

The black-haired girl opened her hand, but almost made the double ponytail jump, and it turned out that what the other party was holding in her hand turned out to be a green bug.

"Go away, go away, really, Wenwen, why do you always look for something disgusting to play with?"

The ponytail shook his hand and did not let the other get close to him.

"Hey, this bug is disgusting, I think it's cute! Look at it crawling around, it's funny. ”

The girl couldn't help but scratch her head as she looked at the worms wriggling in her hands.

"And I've heard that this insect is going to become a butterfly in the future, so I'm going to raise it and see how it becomes a butterfly." ”

"No, I absolutely disagree. ”

The girl with the double ponytail immediately shook her head.

"If you dare to do that, I won't ever go to your house again. ”

"Poof, Begonia is a coward. ”

Seeing that she disagreed, the girl's mouth suddenly pouted high.

"Generally speaking, it's normal for people who don't like this kind of stuff, right?"

In the end, the girl had no choice but to give up the butterfly cultivation plan, and she babbled and put the worm back on the ground.

"Nana, Begonia, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

The brunette clapped her hands and lay down beside the double ponytail.

"In the future...... I haven't thought about this yet!"

The double ponytail stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Wenwen, what about you?"

"Needless to say, of course, I'm going to become a great journalist like Tengu-sama. ”

"Journalist ......"

The double ponytail looked at the garland in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ah, yes. ”

The black-haired girl suddenly didn't know what was going on and suddenly got up and shouted excitedly to her.

"Or Begonia, you will also become a reporter in the future, if the two of us join forces, we will definitely become the most powerful reporter in Gensokyo, and we will let the entire Gensokyo people read the newspaper we wrote. ”

"Well, is that really possible? But I don't understand anything. ”

The double ponytail seems to be a little moved, but there are still some doubts.

"Well, don't worry, I'm the same as you. Isn't there a saying among human beings? When the boat reaches the bridge, it will always be straight, and there will always be a way. ”

"Hmmm......"

Looking at the girl's ambitious appearance, the double ponytail felt unsteady in her heart.

Forget it, she can't last too long anyway, so let's just mess around with her for a while!

"Very well, then we have to start working hard to become a first-class journalist!"

"Oh......"

Looking at the two girls who raised their hands and cheered, Ji Haitang suddenly wanted to laugh, but tears flowed out first.

"This guy, it was a long time ago, she still remembers it so clearly, what a fool!"

So, no matter what, I definitely have to bring this idiot back.

Because she owes herself and others so much.

You can't let her go away like that.

Ji Haitang wiped away his tears, his face was straight, and he no longer paid attention to the memory of what kind of life pill Wen had in those bubbles, and quickly flew in the direction indicated by the light.

In this world where time has lost its meaning, Ji Haitang doesn't know how long she has been flying, maybe only a few minutes, or a few hours, but she finally came to the end of the light.

It's like a starless night, a world where even memory bubbles disappear.

This is already the deepest part of the soul. In this incomparably empty world, a young girl was naked, hugged together like an unborn fetus, hidden under the huge black wings.

Around her, looming, some unidentified objects of pale black could be seen surrounding her.

"Wen ......"

Looking at the life-shooting pill Wen who was asleep like a baby, Ji Haitang suddenly laughed.

"I'm here to pick you up, Wenwen. ”

She clenched the jade of the four souls in her hand and rushed towards the Shooting Pill Wen......

"Why has it been so long?"

Seeing that the long hands of the clock had already turned around, Shotimaru still didn't react at all, and everyone began to fidget.

"It's been too long, what are those three imps doing? It's past lunch time!"

I nodded, it seems that it was not a good decision to hire those three goblins as maids in the first place!

"Ah, I'm annoyed! I didn't tell you that. ”

Marisa was very depressed, didn't this guy know how to care about others a little?

"Marisa, can't you just be quiet?"

Azuka Ibuki glared at Marisa, and the others looked at her dissatisfied.

"Really, what is this?"

Marisa was even more depressed, it was two people who spoke, why was she the only one who was scolded?

"Do you have any grievances?"

"Nope. ”

Seeing Ibuki Cuika's eyebrows jumping, Marisa quickly silenced herself, she didn't dare to provoke the other party at this time.

The hall fell silent again.

After more than ten minutes, Shotmaru Wen, who had been lying motionless on the sofa, finally reacted at this time.

A faint yellow glow lit up all over her body, and something slowly burrowed out of her chest before falling to the ground.

"Begonias. ”

"Sister Begonia. ”

"Lord Begonia. ”

Ibuki Suika hurriedly rushed over and helped Ji Haitang to his feet.

"Sister Begonia, are you okay?"

Seeing Ji Haitang's clothes in tatters, and her whole body was covered with wounds, she was distressed for a while, and tears were about to flow out.

"I, I'm fine. ”

Ji Haitang looked at the jade of the four souls in his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. In the process of saving the life pill text, she seemed to have been attacked by something, and just when she was about to be unable to resist, the jade of the four souls lit up, and then Ji Haitang Ji found that she had returned here.

"What the hell is going on?"

She always felt as if she had forgotten something.

"Hey, is this thing black?"

Hearing Marisa's exclamation, Ji Haitang realized that it was originally a pure white jade of the Four Souls, but for some reason, the color had changed. In the uncomfortable darkness, something seemed to be surging constantly.

"Let me see. ”

I also noticed the abnormality of the Jade of the Four Souls, and quickly took it from Ji Haitangji's hand.

By the way, I cast a healing spell on her.

Ji Haitang glanced at me gratefully, but didn't say anything.

"Your Highness Dongfang, what the hell is going on?"

Ji Haitang asked me very nervously, whether she had saved the life-shooting pill, but she was not sure at all.

"Well, if it's a soul inside the Jade of the Four Souls, its color won't change. Since it has now turned black, it means that it is something other than the soul that is sealed. ”

"That's ......"

Thinking of that possibility, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Well, don't worry, it's okay anymore. ”

I nodded affirmatively.

"Great!"

After worrying about it for so long, now that I can finally feel at ease, everyone was suddenly excited, and Inugotsu and Hecheng Natori were even more happy to hug each other.

"Then, Dongfang, when will Wenwen wake up?"

Ibuki Azuka calmed down first and asked again.

"I guess that's pretty much it. ”

Hearing my words, several people hurriedly surrounded Shotimaru Wen, and all of them stared at her intently.

Just when the group of people were waiting for the patience to run out, the eyelids of the shooting pill moved a few times, and finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up, wake up. ”

Immediately, the crowd surrounded her even tighter.

Ibuki looked at Shotimaru a little nervously, and found that although her eyes were very dim, the disturbing red glow had disappeared, and her pupils had reverted to their original red.

Seeing this, Ibuki Sumika's heart, which had always been a little hanging, finally let go completely.

Seeing a group of people all looking at him with nervous faces, Shotimaru felt strange.

"What's wrong with you? ”

"Wow, that's great, Sister Wenwen, you're finally fine. ”

The dog pounced on her, crying profusely.

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing that the dog was so excited, the shooting pill was even more confused.

"Wenwen, don't you remember what happened before?"

"Huh, did something happen?"

Seeing the confusion on the face of the shotmaru, Ibuki Tsuyaka had already understood, she really didn't remember anything.

"If you can't remember, forget it. Wenwen, how do you feel about your body now?"

"Body?very good!"

Shooting Pill raised his left hand, but was surprised to find that this simple action was much more difficult to do now than usual.

"Is it really okay?"

Seeing her contemplative face, Ibuki Suika hurriedly asked.

Shotmaru smiled lightly and shook his head.

"No, I'm just a little tired, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just like I'm having a dream. ”

"Dreams?"

"Well, a dream, a long, long dream. ”

Shooting Pill Wen looked at the ceiling for a while, and then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Wenwen?"

"Isn't Wenwen just here? Hey, why is she gone?"

"Strange, it's still there just now!"

Only then did a group of people discover that Ji Haitang had disappeared without knowing when······

"Why, don't you say goodbye to me and leave?"

Ji Haitang, who was walking down the stairs with his head down, heard the voice, raised his head a little dazedly, and saw a young man lying on the guardrail on the opposite side, looking at him with a flat expression.

"Your Highness the East, why are you here?"

"The maid's work is too procrastinating, so I went to urge them just now. ”

I smiled and replied.

"Oh. ”

Ji Haitang stood on the stairs in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Then, if His Highness Dongfang doesn't have any orders, Haitang will leave first. ”

She bowed to me and prepared to leave.

"Are you going to run away?"

"What?"

Ji Haitang looked at me in astonishment, and her raised foot suddenly paused.

"Aren't you going to deal with the problem between you and the tengu?

"I, I don't understand what you're talking about, Your Highness?"

"Look at me. ”

Seeing Ji Haitang's extremely dodgy gaze, I shouted loudly.

Ji Haitang was extremely startled, stepped back, and almost fell.

"Why did you choose to run away? Don't you have no reason to hold a grudge against her?"

"But, but I really don't know how to face Wenwen now!"

Ji Haitang hid his face and squatted down helplessly. I hated her for so many years for no reason, and now I am still entitled to her smile?

Another stupid fool with a bull's horns! I sighed, and in a flash, I appeared beside her.

"There are a lot of things that will never be solved if you don't choose to face them directly. Escapism doesn't help at all. ”

"Woo, but I really don't know what to do!"

"Don't be afraid to tell her what has been hidden in your heart all along, and only then will you be able to get her forgiveness. ”

"Am I really entitled to her forgiveness?"

Ji Haitang raised her head and looked at me with teary eyes.

"Think it's for the sake of that kid. ”

I reached out and touched her head.

"She really cares about you, if the relationship between the two of you has not improved, the most uncomfortable thing is her who is sandwiched between you!"

"Little Tsubaki ......"

Ji Haitang thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

However, I regret that when we returned to the living room, Shotimaru had fallen asleep again, and the trauma to her soul made her mentally feel extremely tired.

This sleep is half a day.

For the wounds of the soul, the general treatment methods are useless, so I suggested that they take the Shooting Pill to soak in the stone milk bath, which will be better faster.

It's just that why are they all involved?

What a bunch of unreliable guys.

After soaking in the bath for more than half an hour, Shotimaru felt much better.

"Lord Wenwen, what do you think of the water temperature, do you need to raise it a little more?"

As an engineer, Kawashiro Hatori easily mastered the operation of the temperature controller.

"It's all hot now, don't go any higher!"

Qi Luno shouted dissatisfiedly, not only Reimu and them, but even a few little ones who came back from school all came to take a bath.

"Ah, Nitori, that's enough. ”

Shooting Pill Wen You looked around, and just saw Ji Haitang Ji who was shrinking in a corner, so he quickly swam towards her.

"You, what are you doing here?"

Although I thought about what Dongfang Yao said to me today, as soon as I said it, it became the same dialogue as before.

"I heard Mizuka and Xiao Zhen say that I will be saved today because of you, thank you so much! ”

Although Ji Haitangji's attitude was not very good, Shotmaru Wen didn't care much.

"Who said it was for you? Arrogant, if it weren't for the fear that Xiao Chu would be sad, I wouldn't bother to care about your life or death!"

Ji Haitang twisted his body and squatted down, leaving only his head outside.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you. ”

Seeing that the other party was so cold to him, Shotimaru Wen also felt at a loss for a while.

"Ah, by the way, Begonia, do you remember that agreement?"

"About ...... Promise, what agreement?"

Unexpectedly, Shooting Pill Wen suddenly mentioned this matter, and Ji Haitang was taken aback.

"That's it, we made an agreement when we were children to be reporters together in the future, and I don't know why today, but suddenly I remembered it. ”

Shooting Pill Wen scratched her head, she was very puzzled, those memories were vague, and she couldn't be sure if they were true or false.

"Nonsense, I don't remember having that kind of agreement with you, and besides, do you think it's possible with our relationship?"

Ji Haitang was extremely calm and said to her with a cold face.

"Well, hahaha, that's true, I guess I'm mistaken. ”

Looking at the smirkling Shooting Pill Wen, Ji Haitang's anger suddenly rushed up, she picked up the stone milk with her hand and threw it at the Shooting Pill Wen.

"Wow, what's wrong with you, Begonia?

"Die, you bastard. ”

"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

"Hey, what are you guys playing?"

"I'm going to play, I'm going to play. ”

"You stinky little ghosts, stop it......"

－－－－－－

"What the hell are those guys doing?"

Marisa was lying with her back against the stone steps, looking comfortable.

"It's good to be young to be bothered about this kind of thing!"

Seeing that there was already a mess over there, Ibuki Suyaka couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't you think it's funny to say that kind of thing the way you look now?"

Reimu rolled her eyes at her and said.

"Also, can you stop drinking while you're in the shower?"

"Don't care, don't care, do you want to come a little bit of Reimu?"

Ibuki Sumika handed the wine gourd to Reimu, but she slapped it open.

"No, I don't have a habit of drinking in the shower. ”

Ibuki took the gourd back and took a few sips.

"Ha, sure enough, drinking in the shower is the best. ”

She looked at the Shooting Pill and was silent for a while before she spoke: "Now, Reimu, I'm going to visit those old friends these days, and I may not be back to the shrine for a while." ”

"If you don't go back, you won't reply, what are you doing with me?"

"Eh, Reimu, why are you so cold? I wasn't afraid that you would be lonely, so I said it in advance!"

Ibuki Suika swooped over and hugged Reimu, and the expression on her face instantly turned into a grievance.

"Don't hold me, where do you go and what does it matter to me? Why should I care?"

Reimu grabbed Ibuki Sanuka's head and tried to push her away.

"Cuixiang, you can go with confidence, I will take care of Reimu her. ”

Marisa looked funny and came to join in the fun.

"You're going, I'm not going to let you harass my reimu. ”

"What are your Reimu, when I met Reimu, you didn't know where to play in the mud!"

"Marisa, are you provoking me?"

"So what?"

"You two fools, give me a little bit of moderation. ”

－－－－－－

Listening to the faint noise outside the window, I couldn't help but shake my head, it was really noisy.

"Naraku no Hana, ......"

I held up the Jade of the Four Souls to the chandelier, and the darkness inside it seemed deeper under the reflection of the light.

"Forget it, that thing won't be useful to me for the time being, let's let it go!"

I put away the black Jade of the Four Souls, turned around and walked towards my room.
