Chapter 16: Different Battlefields

"Ah, ah, test, test, can you hear me...... Tsk, isn't the result still outside the circle, the so-called high-tech is used to trick people. ”

Syllable.

He casually threw the communication device behind him, habitually took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, and the flame was always extinguished in a short time.

"Tsk, the bargain is really unreliable, na, purple, borrow a fire."

"Let's remember you're still human, right? If you hurt your lungs, it's not as simple as burning them and growing them again. ”

"Ahaha, Purple, are you worried about me?"

"I can still laugh in this situation, should we admire you? Quiet. Yakumo Zi gently held his forehead, as if he was sighing for the rough nerves of the guy in front of him.

"It's been a long time, Jing," Yakumo said, looking at the shrine maiden who was no longer a shrine maiden, "if you use human time. ”

"For a long time?" Jing suddenly restrained the smile on her face, and said seriously: "It seems to be quite a long time, eighteen years?" Or seventeen years? ”

"Eighteen years, after the New Year, it will be nineteen years, and Wu should almost become an adult."

"Liar, huh? Is it so fast? ”

Yakumo Zi bent the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Allah, your own child is finally going to grow up, don't you have a sense of accomplishment as a parent?" ”

"Haha, that kind of thing didn't exist from the beginning," Jing put her hands in the pockets of her coat and said lightly, "I don't have the talent to be a parent, and I don't have the qualifications, besides, I'm not old enough to be called a family leader." ”

"Heh......" Yakumo Zi's eyebrows raised, obviously stimulated by a certain word deliberately emphasized by the other party.

The two of them stood face to face in the modern city with many high-rise buildings, and the battle light flashed from time to time in the endless night sky above their heads, accompanied by bursts of breaking wind, everything seemed so familiar.

"That's all for the chat," Jing looked down at her watch and said slowly, "Purple, if you want to catch up with me, then it's better to wait a while, if you see, I still have a job." ”

"Work? Who would be able to ask you to work for someone else? Or are you completely unnoticed, or are you not wanting to notice? ”

Yakumo Zi shook her fingers slowly, and the next moment, the fierce star that shimmered black like a blade slashed behind Jing, and the cracked space was like a huge mouth of blood, swallowing up all the tall buildings around them in an instant.

The pale light fell, and the two people who were talking in the shadows could no longer ignore the strangeness that was deliberately hidden.

Maybe she hadn't noticed, or maybe she already knew.

Jing just stood indifferently in place, the shadow that could stick out from under her feet was no longer her own appearance, although there was only a vague silhouette, but it was indeed a witch.

It was the shadow of the Witch of Hakurei.

Yakumo Zi's tone was desolate, as if he was regretting someone's useless work: "See clearly, Jing, this is the reality, it is impossible for a fake to win over the prototype no matter what." ”

"I've known for a long time that the fate of the Hirori Shrine Maiden has not been able to escape through the ages, inheritance, fusion, and then return to nothingness after reaching the peak, heh," Jing sneered, "It's like a curse." ”

"Allah, Jing, you don't want to shout like those hot-blooded heroes in the comics to rebel against fate or something, do you? That's not your character. ”

The words of ridicule came out, but Yakumo Zi's sharp gaze eased little by little, and she suddenly said softly: "Jing, do you know? Of all the shrine maidens we've seen, you're not the strongest, but you're not the weakest, do you understand what that means? ”

"......" Jing squinted slightly and did not speak.

"It's 'ordinary'," slowly spitting out these two words, Yakumo Zi smiled and continued: "Your talent is the most ordinary, your fit is the most ordinary, and your learning ability is also the most ordinary. ”

Jing still didn't speak, and let Yakumo Zi continue.

"Originally, in our expectation, you should have completed the life of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden ordinarily, passed on the spiritual power to Reimu ordinarily, died ordinarily, and then became a memory ordinarily, but why?"

Yakumo Zi's tone instantly turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Why would such an ordinary person do such a special thing?" ”

"Haha, do you think it's a bit surprising? Purple? Jing asked rhetorically, a smile with an unclear color.

"That's true," Yakumo Zi nodded, "Even if there really needs to be a special individual among the shrine maidens of the past generations, it shouldn't be you." ”

"So you've always seen me that way, huh? Haha, this is really infuriating," Jing laughed, but her eyes gradually became serious: "This is completely looked down upon." ”

"Oh? Do you want to prove it for yourself now? Yakumo reminded with a smile, "You must know that this is not Gensokyo." ”

“...... Shh ”

As if deflated, Jing's originally slowly rising momentum turned into nothing in an instant, Zi was right, now she really can't have the strength to compete with Zi, because this is the moon, not Gensokyo.

Her half-left Hakurei shrine maiden's power couldn't be the match for this interstitial youkai.

"Forget it, surrender and surrender, I surrender."

The atmosphere was no longer as tense as it had been at the beginning, and Jing raised her hands with a big grin, as if she had given up.

"We thought you were going to struggle a little longer," Yakumo Zi frowned slightly, and the look of vigilance on his face deepened: "It's not your character to simply admit defeat like this." ”

"What can you do if you don't admit defeat?" Jing shrugged his shoulders and said with great bone: "If I meet other people, I can still play two hands, and when I meet Zi, you are basically helpless, it's really unlucky." ”

"Really?" Yakumo raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "That means that your companion has also come to the moon?" Why don't you call it out so that we can get to know each other too? ”

"Hehe, why do you think that Purple will definitely come to the moon instead of Gensokyo?"

"Do you think that the current Gensokyo is there besides us......

Speaking of which, Yakumo Zi suddenly stagnated, the more flaws there are, the easier it is for people to ignore, and Jing will not be untargeted, is it ...... to say?!

"It's Zi, I understood it so quickly," Jing smiled evilly, and the corners of her mouth were full of banter: "Obviously, I have been tricked once eighteen years ago, why don't you be careful anymore Zi." ”

“......”

I never thought that I would be countered to the army.

Yakumo's face was gloomy, and one object of suspicion flashed through his mind, but he was never sure who it was.

It's not strange that you can't guess it, after all, the same taste has been tasted by Bayi Yonglin who is far away in Gensokyo at this moment.

If she hadn't learned of the existence of Hecatia, the god of hell, she would never have imagined that someone would dare to do such a bold thing under her nose.

Even if Hecatia could come and go freely in the Three Realms with her own ability, even so, she couldn't take people to the moon at will when Gensokyo was completely closed.

But Toyohime's plan is undoubtedly based on the fact that they can leave Gensokyo, which may not make sense in theory, but as long as the idea that Hell is also their helper is also taken into account, everything is clear.

Aside from Yakumo's gap and Takeya's peculiarities, this is the only way to get to the moon in Gensokyo.

Bayi Yonglin blasted open the door of the Hall of Right and Wrong with an arrow, and the sharp gaze swept over the grim reaper in the hall, and she walked straight to the center of the main hall, in front of the seat of the Four Seasons Yingji, and the sharp arrow was aimed at her steadily.

"Hades, how much of a sin it is to reopen the heavenly river, do you know?"
