Chapter 15: Breath
"How's it going?" With a howling wind, Fumibun landed in the backyard of Hakurei Shrine and couldn't wait to ask Takeya about the situation.
Wu Ye wiped his eyes that were confused by the wind and sand, compared to the room behind him and said, "I'm still asleep, I guess it's not affected." ”
"Is that so?" Wenwen's tone was slightly deep: "That seems to be right." ”
"Wenwen, do you know anything?"
"Well, almost, I went back to the mountain of monsters just now, almost all the monsters on the mountain were affected by that strange power, I also went around to take a look, the situation is the same, plus the situation here in Reimu, it can almost be asserted."
Taking a deep breath, Wenwen said, "The abnormality just now only works on monsters, but it is completely unhindered to humans. ”
"It only works on youkai, so why ...... me" Speaking of this, Wu also swallowed the rest of the words unnaturally.
Now he finally understands why he didn't understand Wenwen's intention for the first time, it turns out that he has never regarded himself as a monster in his heart.
But in fact, neither Aqiu nor Reimu have ever felt it, and sure enough, it is something that only youkai can feel, which means that even if he doesn't want to admit it, he, Takeya Takasaka, is no longer human, at least physically.
Suppressing his complicated feelings, Wu Ye shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and asked, "That Wenwen, have you investigated what happened?" Is it an anomaly? ”
"Perhaps, although the specific part is not clear, the source of the mutation has been found."
"The source? Where is it? ”
"Oh, there."
Following the direction of Wenwen's finger, Wu Ye slowly raised his head, and in the quiet night sky, only a full moon hung quietly on it..... It should have been so.
"Huh? What is that......? ”
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, Wu Ye was sure that he was not mistaken, there was actually a layer of purple gauze attached to the original bright silver plate, which was as faint as a ghost.
"I don't know."
I don't know how many times Wenwen said these three words today, and now she seems to understand a little why those people in the Eternal Pavilion are so anxious to find Yakumo Zi.
There is an abnormality in the moon, although it has something to do with most of the monsters, if you want to talk about the deepest relationship, it is naturally those people in the Eternal Pavilion, after all, their identities have long been not a secret.
Seeing that they were in such a hurry, did they want Yakumo to open the passage to the moon surface again to see what was going on?
Although this has nothing to do with Wenwen, she is just entrusted by others, but after experiencing such a strange thing just now, she doesn't dare to trust her.
When she returned to Yokai Mountain, she had already reported her guess to the Great Tengu, and the other party meant that she should find Yakumo Purple first.
For a while, both of them were a little silent, until Takeya raised his head and saw Reimu who had been dressed and leaning against the door at some point.
"Reimu?" Wu Ye looked at her in surprise, obviously she was still under the cover just now, why did she suddenly look like she had been prepared a long time ago.
"It's noisy to you, and you won't let people sleep at night." Reimu said that he was complaining as always, but he didn't have the casual taste he usually had.
"Reimu, is this an anomaly?" Wenwen habitually took out the small notebook for his notes, and looked at Reimu with burning eyes.
"Who knows, my mother came out to see because she was too annoyed by your noise." It's still the same.,Reimu always says irresponsible things like this.,It's obviously a shrine maiden.。
Impatient gaze swept over the two of them, and finally landed on the stone staircase behind them, Reimu flattened his mouth and said, "The annoying guy has another one." ”
"Ahaha, I'm sorry to bother you late at night, but everyone hasn't slept, what a coincidence." With a dashing red hair, the doorman of the Red Devil Pavilion appeared.
"Misuzu? What are you doing here? "If you want to talk about the most familiar with this doorman lady, of course it's Wu Ye, after all, she is often taken care of, such as when you go to the Red Devil Pavilion, you never need to pass to get in.
"It was the eldest lady who asked me to come," Misuzu looked around and asked strangely, "Is Miss Sakiya already gone?" ”
"Sakiya?" Takeya was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Reimu, only to find that the latter was also shaking his head, so he said, "Sakiya has never been here, Misuzu, are you sleeping confused again?" ”
"What do you mean to be asleep again! I'm usually very serious, right," Misuzu retorted with a rare red face, and after a pause, she said, "But that's weird, Miss Sakiya should have arrived here a long time ago." ”
"So, Misuzu, you're here to find Sakuya?"
"Yes, the eldest lady originally asked Saki to come to the shrine to ask about the change, but after waiting for a while, there was no news, so the eldest lady asked me to take a look."
"Mutation......" Takeya frowned, since Remilia was also affected, that is to say, it is the same as Wenwen speculated.
So this time it's a mutation that's only for youkai? And what about the moon.
The strange purple light on the moon made Takeya have a faint sense of foreboding, and if he wanted to know what was going on, he had to ask Kaguya and Miss Yonglin in the end.
But there's another thing that worries about it.....
Wu Ye looked back at Reimu, hesitated, and asked, "Reimu, do you know where Zi is?" ”
Hearing this, Lingmeng's eyes flashed slightly, his gaze turned to the side, and he seemed to say casually: "I don't know, that guy has been haunted all day long, how can I know where she is." ”
"That's what I said," Wu Ye raised his eyebrows, and suddenly turned to Wenwen and Misuzu and said: "It's not a way to wait here, let's go our separate ways, Misuzu, you continue to find Sakiya, Wenwen, you go to Zi, I'll go to the Eternal Pavilion with Reimu to see if there are any clues." ”
"Okay."
"Got it."
After the two responded, they stopped staying, and immediately left the shrine, and after confirming that the breath of the two had gone away, Wu Ye asked Reimu again, "Reimu, do you know where Zi is?" ”
"How would I know about such a thing, I didn't want you to break them apart to say this...... Forget it," Reimu choked angrily and said uncertainly, "The clue is already there." ”
It wasn't the first time I'd seen such a Lingmengwu, this was a sign that she was in a very bad mood, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "What is it?" ”
"Moonside," Reimu said, clasping her hands in her arms, looking up at the purple moon, "There is a familiar aura there, and the only people who know it in Gensokyo are me and Purple, if you can't find Purple in Gensokyo at the moment, then she will only be in one place." ”
"Moonside?" Wu Ye was taken aback and asked, "What kind of breath?" ”
"The spiritual power of the Hirori Shrine Maiden."
Reimu lowered her head, her bangs obscuring all her expressions, only the low voice like a broken string echoed in the air: "It's her back, Takeya." ”
