Chapter 19: The Point Where the Worlds Cross
"Hey, Takeya, have you eaten? The breakfast at Forever Pavilion is very delicious. ”
"I'm not hungry, and I'm not interested in taking dumplings for breakfast, and besides, next time something like this happens, since you know, can't you inform me in advance, Purple?"
Passing through the gap between the opening of the White Jade Tower, Takeya unexpectedly came to the Forever Pavilion, and then saw Yakumo Purple who was leisurely eating breakfast here.
"Haha, don't be angry, we don't know that Wu Ye is in a hurry to find us for the sake of demon dreams."
Holding the ball in one hand and putting it in his mouth, there was no sincerity in his words:
"(chewing) It's only now that we've confirmed that Youmeng went to the outside world, thanks to Wu Ye, you came to report it."
"No thanks."
Pi laughed twice without smiling, and Wu Ye casually pulled a chair across from Yakumo Purple and sat down, and then ...... He found Yonglin sitting next to him:
"What's going on lately? Why do I meet Miss Yonglin every time I come to Yongting, what a coincidence. ”
"Because I live here, don't I?"
Yonglin's reason is impeccable, it seems that Wu Ye has thought too much, but she added as if she was drawing a snake:
"But if it's a coincidence, it's quite a coincidence."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Alright, the meal is over, let's get down to business."
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, Yakumo Zi rushed to intervene in a new topic at the moment of the conversation between the two:
"Since Youmeng is in the outside world, then the top priority now is to bring her back, everyone has no opinion on this, right?"
Wu Ye nodded in agreement, and then suddenly stunned:
"Everyone?"
He turned his head to look at Yonglin beside him:
"Could it be that this time, Miss Yonglin too?"
"About this ......"
"Regarding this, Wu Ye, don't worry, let's finish talking."
This is the second time that Yakumo Zi snatched the words from Yonglin's mouth, but the other party was not angry.
"First of all, we have a means to solve this demon dream incident...... Or conjecture. ”
"Really? So fast? ”
It's not that Takeya doesn't have confidence in Yakumo Zi, but what she said herself, Gensokyo's enchantment has become more and more stable, and even she can't go in and out of the outside world freely.
"Don't worry, Wu Ye, have you forgotten? The last time the night changed, the vampire thing. ”
"Remilia.......
Wu Ye's eyes sank slightly, sure enough, Yakumo Zi and his thoughts were the same, the old method didn't work, as long as he found an exit from the new way.
"What happened last time, we have already confirmed it once, and the conclusion we came to is feasible."
Yakumo's tone is full of confidence, or she never shows her lack of confidence, no matter at any time, her sincerity is like ink dripping on the blackboard, and she can't see it clearly.
"Remilia, the way for that vampire to return to Gensokyo is very simple, it is just to pass through the newly opened 'passage', there is no complicated reason, it is very simple to 'walk' back to Gensokyo from the outside world."
After sorting out his opinions, Yakumo Zi concluded lightly:
"So, what we have to do is also very simple, just open the 'channel' and let the demon dream come back."
"But can this be done?"
Wu Ye was puzzled:
"Isn't it because we can't open a passage from inside Gensokyo, so we're going to talk about it?"
"You're right, it's impossible to open a 'passage' from inside Gensokyo, because Gensokyo is completely cut off from the outside world."
Yakumo Zi didn't refute Wu Ye's words, but she didn't say it to death:
"However, not all the 'passages' have been sealed."
"What do you mean?"
"Takeya, do you know how many 'roads' there are to Gensokyo's to the outside world?"
"I don't know."
"There's only one."
In Takeya's surprised eyes, Yakumo Zi smiled:
"Hakurei Shrine, that's the only 'passage' connecting Gensokyo and the outside world, Hakurei Shrine is built on the edge of the enchantment, it's the only place with an 'exit' in the entire enchantment, do you know why?"
“...... I don't know. ”
"Because Gensokyo and the outside world are continuum in terms of geographical concepts, and the key to the link between the two worlds is the Hakurei Shrine."
Yakumo Zi also knew that such a long and complex concept was not something that Wu could understand, so she simplified it into one sentence:
"In this way, it may be easier to understand that the condition for the existence of the 'passage' is that there is an intersecting part of the two worlds, intuitively speaking, the Hakurei Shrine exists in the outside world and Gensokyo at the same time, so it can become a 'passage'."
"I see."
Takeshi also understands that the so-called "channel" is roughly the concept of a bridge, and since it is a bridge connecting the two worlds, there must be a bridge in both worlds, and Hakurei Shrine plays such a role.
"In that case, we only need to find the other parts of Gensokyo that intersect with the outside world to open a new 'passage'?"
"That's it in theory, that's right."
"Then let's hurry up and ......"
"Wu Ye, have you forgotten what we just said?"
Interrupting Takeya's excitement, Yakumo Zi said lightly:
"There is only one way to Gensokyo to the outside world, and that is Hakurei Shrine."
"......"
"We know."
Raising his hand to stop Wu Ye's anxious words, Yakumo Zi said unhurriedly:
"There's only one way to the outside world, that's true, but there's more than one way to the 'outside world.'"
Like a fox hiding the cunning in his eyes, Yakumo Zi's tone seemed serious but not playful:
"Conceptually, 'The outside world' should refer to all worlds except Gensokyo, but here we generally make it the world where Takeya lives in, you see, isn't that interesting?"
"What's interesting......
"Didn't Wu Ye notice? There is a place that 'intersects' with Gensokyo, but also 'intersects' with the outside world. ”
Yakumo pointed to the sky with a smile, but not to the dazzling sun wheel, but to the opposite end of it.
Looking at the empty blue sky, Wu Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted:
"It's the moon!"
He looked at Yakumo Purple with surprise and delight:
"In addition to Hakurei Shrine, there is another place that intersects with the outside world, and that is the moon! Two worlds see the moon the same! ”
"Correct."
Yakumo Zi bent the corners of his crescent-like eyes and said with a smile:
"Gensokyo's 'road' to the outside world is indeed blocked, but the 'road' to the moon is not, so the only problem now is how to establish a 'channel' from the outside world directly to the moon."
Yakumo Zi tapped her fingers on the table very rhythmically, as if she was thinking, and Wu Ya was looking at her expectantly.
After about three minutes or so, she suddenly stopped tapping and turned to look at Takeya:
"Wu Ye, as far as we know, there is a device called 'rocket' in the outside world."
“......”
When he heard this, Takeya's smile stiffened.
