Chapter 4 Bright Needle City
"I said, Meihong, isn't it too hasty for us to do this......?"
Although it seemed a little late to say it now, when Wu Ye saw the land above his head, he realized that he had no bottom in his heart.
After He Meihong temporarily decided to come to the castle in the sky to "explore", the two went directly on the road.
It didn't take much effort, but the two of them easily found the reversed castle, which was too conspicuous to hang in the sky.
The moment they stepped on the castle, a feeling of whirling made Takeya feel uncomfortable, and when they came back to their senses, the land of Gensokyo actually appeared above their heads.
At this time, he realized what it was like to "reverse", and at the same time, he also felt a trace of doubt, it was okay to be closed by magic, but why did the whole castle turn upside down?
But more than that, what he cares about now is-
"Cold, cold, eerie...... Is there really a human presence here? β
The Hui Needle City in front of Wu Ye and Mei Hong was empty, and the castle did look gorgeous, but it had a deep dead silence.
Flags with strange patterns fluttered on the walls, and the sound of the wind came from the quaint entrance, like an invitation, to arouse their curiosity.
"Hey, sister Hong, why don't we go back first?" Hui Needle City gave people a sense of foreboding, and Wu Ye retreated in his heart.
At the same time, he suggested, "I think this kind of thing should be done by the professional, how about going back and informing Marisa?" She's an expert in treasure hunting. β
"Wu Ye, you're too timid, aren't you?"
As she spoke, Mei Hong raised her hand and threw a flame forward, igniting the two braziers at the entrance of the castle, and the gloomy aura seemed to dissipate somewhat.
"Let's go." Mei Hong took the lead, didn't give Wu Ye a chance to object, and strode into the castle with the city gate wide open.
"Hey...... Tut! Wu couldn't stop Mei Hong, so he had no choice but to follow her in.
Through the gate of the castle, Takeya was amazed by the sight inside.
He thought that since it was a place where the little people lived, all the houses and furniture should be reduced in equal proportions, but this castle was terrifying, both inside and outside.
The castle's gates were open, but they were filled with all sorts of strange things, such as wooden horses, huge bed bows that looked like crossbow arrows, and rows of sharp spears and knives.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ye inevitably had a strange feeling in his heart, is this really the castle of the Lilliputians and not the base of some war maniac?
But before they could pass through the strange fortifications, an abrupt light dazzled their eyes.

The voice...... Could it be a camera? β
Unlike Mei Hong, who instantly immersed her whole body in the flames, with the familiarity that surged in her heart, Wu Ye did not make any defensive moves.
Following the prestige, when his eyes recovered from the dazzling state of brightness, Wu Ye unexpectedly saw a smiling figure in front of him.
"Sure enough, it's you, Wenwen." Wu also scratched his hair, showing some helplessness.
"Hehe, it's me, Wu Ye, Mei Hong, what a coincidence." Wenwen smiled and came up, and the two said hello.
The light was really the flash from Wenwen's camera, and this guy seemed to like to use this way as a greeting gift every time.
Seeing that it was Wenwen, Mei Hong put away the flames on her body and asked with an unhappy face, "Why are you here?" β
"For the news, of course." Wen Wen shook the camera in his hand and said proudly: "I am the first reporter of "Wenwen News", and if there is such a major event as a castle in the sky, I must report it as soon as possible!" β
"It's the first paparazzi, right," Mei Hong sarcastically said, "Why are you everywhere, are tengu so idle?" Don't you care about the defense of Yokai Mountain? β
"In such a peaceful era, where do you need any defense," Wenwen waved his hand indifferently: "Those things will be done." β
"Hmph." Mei Hong squeezed her nose unhappily, she also knew that of course there would be nothing wrong with the monster mountain at this time, but she still deliberately said: "If someone knocks on the door at this time, I'll see what you do!" β
"Hey, hey." Regarding Meihong's run, Wenwen did not have the slightest worry.
It's just that Wu on the side listened to the conversation between the two, and his colleague, who felt very naΓ―ve, always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.
I have the impression that before going out today, Reimu seems to have explained something to him, which seems to be related to the mountain of monsters......
Frowning and struggling for a while, Wu Ye couldn't remember, and at this time, the two guys in front of him seemed to be arguing.
"I see, this is the castle of the Lilliputies." Wen Wen, who got the information from Mei Hong, seemed very excited, and she continued to ask while taking out the notes: "I heard that the villain clan has been retributed for using the secret treasure of the ghost clan, could it be that this is the ......?"
"This is Hui Needle City, the castle rebuilt by some of the Lilliputians left behind."
"Oh, that's right, but why is the castle in the sky? Do the Lilliputians have the ability to build cities in the sky? β
"Of course it's not their ability......
Just when Mei Hong was about to reveal the information of Wanbao Mallet, she stopped.
"Huh? What's wrong with you, sister red? Go on. Wen Wen shook the pen and paper in his hand strangely, and urged: "How did the little people build a city in the sky?" β
"Let me tell you that's fine, but ......" Mei Hong laughed wickedly, her current behavior seemed to Wenwen to be the kind of gangster who unconsciously showed when he did something......
"Do you still want to knock me off?" Wenwen struggled to tell this fact, only to see Mei Hong nodding without shame.
β...... Well, count it in. β
Wenwen admits it, if she doesn't admit it, she knows it, the other party is completely no different from the street gangster bad girl from her dress to personality, if she doesn't have some blood, it is estimated that the other party will never speak.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Say, what do you want?" Let's talk about it first, I don't have any money, and Wenwen News still has negative income every day. β
"Don't worry, I won't ask you for money," Mei Hong Lao Dao stepped forward and grabbed Wenwen, put one hand on her shoulder and said very skillfully: "I just want you to help me do something." β
β...... What's up? β
"It's simple, as long as you help me bring someone over." As she spoke, Mei Hong took out a photo from her arms and stuffed it into Wen Wen's hand, and Wen Wen nodded decisively after reading it, and then burned the photo to ashes with the fire in Mei Hong's hand.
The two of them made this action of underworld trading make Wu Ye's mouth twitch, where did he learn this!
