Chapter 51: Two Accidents
Sure enough, the Wanbao mallet is a cheat daddy's thing-
Takeya came to such a conclusion, so the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to drop the hammer in his hand.
"you! Me again? Still Adam? Don't you dare to change your name! β
Vent your inner anger with words, this is the best way to dispel depression, although it is a bit rude to do this in front of people, but the time is suspended anyway, and no one will see it except Sakiya and the Holy White Lotus...... It should have been so.
"Huh?"
After dropping the Wanbao mallet, Takeya suddenly realized that the touch in his hand was not right, and the atmosphere around him had become wrong.
He looked left and right, Sakiya, the Holy White Lotus, and the Wanbao Mallet all disappeared, as if they had never appeared, and Kanako in front of him was the same as him, and the two were looking at each other with the same stunned gaze.
Could it be another hallucination? Wu Ye couldn't help but wonder about everything he had just experienced, but the problem was that he had only heard that people would see a marquee when they were in a predicament, could it be that this was also a marquee?
Takeshi didn't know, he only knew that after he finished venting, Kanako had been in an eerie silence.
After about three or four seconds, I only heard him ask in an incredulously complicated tone, "Is it really you, killed him?" β
β...... Yes? β
At that moment, Wu also admitted that his brain was completely dead.
......
"Ya, when?"
In the interval, Yakumo Purple repeated the somewhat unfamiliar name in her mouth a few times, and finally shook her head in abandonment.
"A name I've never heard of," Yakumo Zi looked at Yayi Yonglin and said, "Is this the name of that person?" β
"Probably," Yayi Yonglin smiled, his tone was a little subtle unnatural, and his gaze bypassed Kanako and fell on Takeya's body, "But, how did Takeya-kun guess this?" No, that's not something that can be 'guessed' anymore. β
"I feel the same way, the probability of guessing in this case is not even astronomical, this is completely impossible," Yakumo Zi said firmly: "Just now, something must have happened, we don't know, what." β
β...... Have you noticed? Yakumo Purple. β
Bayi Yonglin pinched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Wu Yejun used a very strange tone and expression when he said that name. β
"yes, it feels like I'm angry."
"The content of the words is also strange, and most importantly, there is a subtle mismatch between the words he is saying now and the words he said before, as if it is ......"
"It's like two different sentences have been forcibly joined together, right?"
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes the recognition of confidants and an undisguised vigilance.
"What do you think? Yayun Zi," Yayi Yonglin narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "In the situation just now, there are seven possibilities that I can think of. β
"That's really powerful, we only thought of four, but in this Gensokyo, in this situation, there is only one that can reasonably happen."
"I don't think the two sentences were forcibly blended together."
"Yes, we think that it is not a hybrid of subjective will, but a continuation of last resort."
"At that moment there must have been something special that we didn't notice."
"The time gap is probably because the time between the previous sentence and the next sentence was stolen by someone."
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who can do this-"
"In Gensokyo, we only know one personβ"
"One of Wu Yejun's friends."
"The human maid of the Red Devil Pavilion."
Yakumo Purple and Yayi Yonglin said in unison: "Sixteen nights, Sakuya." β
"So, do you think it was the maid who told Wu Yejun the name of that person?"
"No, let's not think so, although this seems to be the only explanation, it's still too far-fetched."
After a pause, Yakumo Zi said lightly: "That maid entered Gensokyo with the Red Devil Pavilion, and we have monitored them for a period of time for safety reasons, and we haven't found anything out of the ordinary. β
"Maybe it's hidden?"
β...... Unlikely," After thinking for a while, Yakumo still shook his head and said, "The master of that maid once encountered a terrible crisis, and we didn't see her make any special moves at that time. β
"And what do you think?"
"The person who stopped time must be the maid, but it wasn't her who told Takeya her name, but someone else."
"Okay, it seems that this is the only reasonable explanation, but, you, you don't seem to have noticed......" Bayi Yonglin suddenly dragged out his voice, and there was a little more flavor of wanting to speak and stopping in his tone.
"What?"
"Ah, it may bother you to say that suddenly, but ...... By the way, Yakumo Murasaki, do you know the curse? β
"Huh? What are you talking about? Yakumo Zi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yayi Yonglin's gaze a little inexplicable: "Is there any point in talking about this now?" β
"No, no, you're mistaken, I'm just asking you, 'Do you know the existence of such a thing'."
β...... What if you know? β
"Hehe, of course, this is also a well-known technique," Bayi Yonglin paused, and then said, "Then do you know?" In the time of the gods, there was a curse that existed specifically for the gods. β
"This ......" Yakumo Zi glanced at Yayi Yonglin and smiled a little inexplicably: "It's a pity, although we have specially investigated, but there is no result." β
"Really? Yes, after all, they are all lost. β
Yayi Yonglin didn't care about the deep meaning in Yakumo Zi's words, but continued to take care of himself: "But you know what? Actually, the curse wasn't as strong as the legend suggests. β
"Oh? Is it? β
"Maybe the curse works a little bit for the one out there, but for that adult, no, needless to say, even for me, it doesn't work much, do you know why?"
"Of course it won't do anything to a monster like you."
"Ah, I'll take this sentence as a compliment," Bayi Yonglin said lightly: "This is the characteristic of the curse, the stronger the existence, the weaker the effect, it is better to say that all the abilities in the world are like this." β
Bayi Yonglin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "For example, your ability to manipulate the realm has a completely different effect on the god outside than it does on me. β
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"So, you really didn't notice?"
Bayi Yonglin pretended to sigh and said playfully: "Even the power of your exceptional realm has been limited by strength and weakness, so why can't that maid's ability?" β
"......" Yakumo Zi was silent, she seemed to understand what Yayun Yonglin wanted to say.
"After she activated her ability, even the time of the two of us was stopped without discrimination, so, what level is this ability? Haven't you really thought about it? β
