Chapter 34: Exposure and Awakening

"That, Wu Yejun, are you uncomfortable? Your face seems to be even stranger than before. ”

"No, it's fine, it's just a little stomachache."

Wu Ye never thought that it was so easy to fool a person, no, to fool a monster.

He thought that Remilia, who mistakenly believed in the true eyes of the evil king, was the lower limit of IQ in Gensokyo, but he didn't expect her to be the average line, in the entire Gensokyo, so many monsters actually believed in something made up by a human so simply!

It's not saved, it's not saved, I can't see the future of this group of monsters.

After immersing himself in his own world and struggling for a while, Wu Ye remembered that there was a monster beside him, and there was no impatience on the other party's face, which made him feel a little guilty.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Miss Wenwen, I suddenly lost my mind."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wenwen, who was unusually good at talking, waved her hand, and didn't take this little thing to heart, and as she spoke, she scratched her chin a little embarrassedly:

"Actually, I have a request for Wu Yejun today."

"Do you want me?"

Is it a new joke that powerful youkai turn to weak humans for help?

Wu Ye's face was full of puzzlement, but Wenwen suddenly lowered his voice and came to his side, which was different from Reimeng's flat body, and the full touch instantly made him blush subconsciously.

"I know."

Wenwen, who hadn't noticed Wu Ye's abnormality, still kept an almost negative distance from him, and there was indescribable excitement in his low voice.

"Although it is the material provided in the name of Miss Reimu, the real 'author' of the book "Persona of the Witch of Hakurei" is actually Takeya-kun, right?"

"Why are you ......!"

His eyes widened in surprise, and Wu Ye even forgot the extremely ambiguous posture of the two for a while.

"Hey, guessed?"

At a distance where the tip of his nose was almost touching, Wenwen's big starry eyes showed great interest.

"I guessed it, I guess that's right."

"Speculation ......?"

"Yes, it's speculation, and one of the key talents of a journalist is fabricating, coughing, speculating on the truth of the facts, isn't it?"

Wenwen slowly distanced himself between the two and raised the camera in his hand, as if to prove his identity as a "reporter".

"Although I know that Miss Reimu is not a little strong as a Hakurei shrine maiden, and she will not make things up in this kind of thing, some of the details mentioned in the story made me find an anomaly."

Out of nowhere, he took out a novel of "Persona of the Witch of Borei", Wenwen pushed the glasses that didn't exist on the bridge of his nose, and his sharp eyes seemed to have entered detective mode.

"Most of the stories mentioned in this article take place in Gensokyo, but some of them take place in the outside world, right?"

"Uh, it seems, right?"

Wu also replied uncertainly, speaking of which, he didn't know how Ah Qiu wrote it, he was just providing materials for the second grade.

"That's the biggest doubt."

Smiling clearly, Wenwen said:

"Wu Ye-kun, Gensokyo is conceptually isolated from the outside world by the enchantment, as a witch of Gensokyo, how can Miss Reimu go to the outside world?"

"Eh, isn't there a purple here? With her help, it's easy to get in and out. ”

"No, that's not right."

Wen Wen pretended to smile mysteriously and said:

"Wu Yejun should also know, Gensokyo's enchantment has become more and more solid."

β€œ......”

Takeya suddenly fell silent.

He had heard the same sentence from Yakumo Purple before, and at that time he just thought it was a perfunctory excuse for himself and Remilia, but now it seems that this is not the case......

"In this world, there are complex 'non-recognizable regions' like Gensokyo, such as the underworld, the region, the heavenly realm, etc., but Gensokyo has the most special nature, because Gensokyo is physically a continuation of the land of the outside world."

Glancing at the speechless Wu Ye, Wenwen continued:

"So now that the Gensokyo enchantment has become more and more solid, if you want to enter Gensokyo from the outside world, unless you take a detour, it will be difficult to do it even with the help of the youkai sage."

β€œ......”

"So I speculate that a large part of those stories, at least those that are set in the outside world, are definitely not her own experiences as Miss Reimu said."

Speaking of this, Wenwen looked at Wu Ye and smiled even more happily.

"Now it seems that those 'stories' should be Wu Yejun's personal experience."

β€œ...... Well, I'll admit, those 'stories' are what I told Reimu. ”

Since the other party has said this, Wu Ye doesn't have any quibbling ideas, anyway, this guy has always fabricated the so-called "truth" by himself, even if he says no, it doesn't make much sense.

"So, is Miss Wenwen going to release this as news?"

"No, no, no, I won't do that."

Unexpectedly, Wenwen actually denied it.

"As I said, I have a request for Wu Yejun today, so I will keep this matter a secret, and this will be regarded as my early thank-you gift, how about it?"

"Hmm...... You've said that, I'm really curious if there's anything you want me to help with? ”

"It's simple."

Wenwen stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ye's hand, so frightened that he almost didn't react, only to see that Wenwen's eyes were full of little stars.

"Regarding those 'stories', Wu Yejun, do you have anything left? Tell me if it's okay? ”

β€œ...... Yes? ”

"I saw the gold in those stories! As long as they are published in Wenwen Shimbun, they will definitely sell well! ”

β€œ......”

Well, I see, it turned out to be a youkai who was killed by the middle two disease.

Sighing, Takeya asked:

"Well, Miss Wenwen, why do you have to let the newspaper sell well?"

Speaking of which, I've never heard of a youkai who is short of money, especially a race like the Tengu with an independent society.

What's more, the newspaper "Wenwen News" is often sent out for free, which shows that Wenwen is not short of money, but in addition to money, is there any benefit to selling these newspapers?

"That's what I want to do as a journalist."

As if seeing through Wu Ye's doubts, Wenwen explained:

"My long-cherished wish is for everyone to look forward to the news I cover."

"Okay then."

Wu Ye can be regarded as agreeing, anyway, one pit is also a pit, and two pits are not too much, dragging them down, and now his mouth and beard ability is not MAX, so it's almost the same.

"Ahem, in fact, the evil king True Eye also has a sister named Kirino ......"

"Ah, wait a minute, I'm going to write it down!"

Hurriedly took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket, and Wenwen, who was in a hurry, directly stuffed the fan in his hand to Takeya.

"Please help me get it."

"Uh, okay......"

It's really an acute sub.

It should be said that there are all kinds of monsters, Wu Ya, who took over the fan, sighed.

Quietly watching the other party prepare the tools for recording, suddenly, there was a pain in his chest from being slammed by a heavy object, and its realism even made him bow directly.

"Uh-huh......!"

"Wu Yejun, I'm ready...... Huh? What about people? ”

Wenwen, who was ready to put pen and paper and raised her head, found that Wu Ye in front of her had long been gone, and she was puzzled and did not notice that the small gap crack on the floor was slowly closing.

......

"Hmm!"

Awakening from his dream, Takeya found a familiar ceiling in front of him, and the strange heaviness in his chest came from a red spear.

"Gungnir?"

Why is this kind of thing ......

Just as he wondered why Gungnir had smashed it on his chest, a dull hair stood on end in the darknessβ€”

"Yes, I'm sorry! Takeya, I didn't expect to hit your ......"

"It's you! Sure enough, it's you! ”

Wu Ye, who found the culprit, didn't say a word, and immediately used a hand knife to teach the middle two in front of him who couldn't understand human words.

In the momentary anger and dim light, even Wu Ye himself didn't notice that there was an extra maple leaf-shaped fan next to his bedside, and a strange crack on it was slowly closing......
