Chapter Thirty-Six: The Other Side of the Gap
"I ......"
Takeya's sudden question left Alton speechless, not only surprised that the other party would know the name of the monster sage, but also deeply shocked by the other party's keenness.
Unbeknownst to Al, however, Takeya was not very shrewd, only because he could work backwards from the known future to the secrets of the past.
For example, he knew that there was a book that recorded the characteristics and weaknesses of youkai called "The Origin of Gensokyo", and the person who wrote this book was none other than Ah Qiu.
To be precise, it was written by every generation of barnyard family heads since Ari Tanada, and the original purpose of writing this book was to enable humans to better fight against yokai.
And the existence of the book itself has already explained many questions, such as how the barnyard field, which is powerless, can know the characteristics and weaknesses of so many youkai.
Human beings in this era only have the most basic fear of youkai, and if they want to truly understand them and recognize them, they will never be able to rely on those onmyoji who kill the red eye.
Therefore, Wu also decided that Barnyard Tian wanted to write the book "The Origin of Gensokyo Township" and could not do it with human power alone, so under empathy, there seemed to be only a few guys who were able and willing to provide her with this information.
Coupled with Al's "advice" to himself just now, it is absolutely impossible for a writer who is ignorant of the world to tell how strong Takeya's strength is, and it is impossible to draw conclusions without comparison.
She who can assert that Takeya will never be able to escape under the hands of the monster sage Yakumo Murasaki, must have seen the other party's power with her own eyes.
"You, ...... the hell"
"Rest assured, Miss Al, I didn't mean to coerce you." Takeya's tone was flat, trying not to put too much pressure on Al.
In this era, no matter what the reason, having something to do with youkai is a mortal sin, and Al's acquiescence confirms that she has an unusual connection with Yakumo Murasaki, and taking advantage of this, Takeya can easily send her to a dead end.
After the initial panic, she immediately realized that the generation of this inference was bidirectional, and Takeya was able to guess the relationship between her and Yakumo from her own words, which in itself hinted at an inexplicable premise.
The monster sage does not have the habit of registering his own number before the battle, and the humans who can know the name of Yakumo Purple are only-
"Could it be that you are ...... too?" Al knew that Yakumo Murasaki, as a youkai, was not blindly killing humans, so she guessed that Takeshi belonged to one of the very few existences who did not hate youkai and talked to Yakumo Purple at the same time.
"Let's make a pact."
Wu Ye neither nodded in acknowledgment but also did not deny anything, he said in a pun: "I will not make any demands on you because of this matter, and you must also forget everything you saw today." ”
"......" Al silently looked into Takeya's eyes, weighing it for a long time, and a smile slowly appeared on her face: "It seems that words alone can't stop you, so if you are destined to meet again in Kyoto, please allow me to record what you have seen and heard along the way." ”
"It's a deal." Saying that, Wu Ye stretched out his hand in front of Al, the other party didn't know why, and he also stretched out his hand like Wu Ye, and clapped his two hands together, Al suddenly, this seems to be the meaning of the agreement.
It's just that Wu Ye and Al talked about everything, but ignored the other person next to him.
"Hey, what are you talking about since just now?" Mei Hong's attitude is very bad, which is also a matter of course, and it was rude for Wu Ye and the others to exclude her from the topic.
This time Al is also a little difficult, she herself has no ability to fight, although this place is very close to the defense line of Kyoto, but if you want to go anywhere unharmed, it seems that it is still a little difficult for her to rely on herself.
Therefore, the power of Meihong is indispensable.
It's just that Wu Ye didn't take this into account from the beginning, he knows Mei Hong too well, a person's personality may slowly change with time and experience, but the essence will not change.
"Please, Meihong, as a reward for accepting that gun, can I ask you to help send Miss Al to Kyoto?"
"You guy, why are you pointing fingers at me!"
"Of course, even if you don't agree, Al will follow you to Kyoto, and the result will be the same."
"You're ......!"
For some reason, in the face of this mysterious person wearing a mask, Mei Hong always has a sense of grievance that she punches on the cotton, and the other party seems to know her very well, and even the subtle spiritual cleanliness has been counted.
He's right, Mei Hong is going to the south of Kyoto to avoid trouble, and if it weren't for the convenience provided by Takeya, she would definitely encounter something like today, and that would be troublesome for her.
Wu also provided a benefit that could not be refused, she could only choose to accept it, as for Al, with or without it is just a matter of one sentence, it has little impact on Mei Hong, if it were not for Wu Ye's words, she would definitely not accept such a drag oil bottle.
It's just that Mei Hong has an unknown spiritual cleanliness habit, she neither wants to be coerced by others, nor does she want to accept the kindness of others.
If Takeya used Gungnir as the content of the transaction, then she would definitely not agree, but in the end, Takeya just gave her back the right to choose, and the seemingly reasonable excuse actually blocked Meihong's mouth.
Bunching up the conspicuous white hair, picking up the hat on the ground to cover it, Mei Hong bypassed Wu Ye, walked past Al's side and said without looking back: "Let's go." ”
"Huh? Yes, yes! Al looked at Mei Hong's back suspiciously, and trotted to follow under the nod of Wu Ye.
Seeing the figures of the two disappear on the other side of the hillside, Takeya breathed a sigh of relief, briefly calculated his location, and continued to move towards the north.
In order to reduce the difficulty, Takeya chose to bypass the army of youkai led by Xingxiong Yongyi and enter the territory of the youkai from the side, according to Yuko's judgment, the base camp of the youkai should be in the northern hinterland.
I don't know how long it will take to fly or run, so after thinking about it, Takeshi also decided to use another more convenient way to move.
Interval.
The power he got from Yakumo Purple has not been able to move skillfully until now, but for the use of gaps, his so-called unproficiency is only in the accuracy of positioning.
To put it simply, he couldn't pinpoint the exit of the gap, and the last time he was able to fish Wenwen out of the barrier was pure luck.
But there is no need to think about this problem at all now, because this time Wu is going to move where he doesn't even know where he is, he only needs to choose a point in the general direction, no matter what position he moves, it doesn't matter.
Yes, Wu also thought so the first second before stepping into the gap.
......
At this moment, in the yokai base camp in the north, a group of big yokai were gathering together to discuss the attack strategy for Kyoto, and Yakumo Zi, who was seated, suddenly changed his expression, and then everyone's faces showed more or less different meanings.
Suika glanced at Yakumo Purple, saw that the other party nodded slightly, and immediately shook off the wine bowl in his hand, and his huge body overturned the roof at once, and his open big hand went straight to the crack that suddenly appeared in the sky.
In the next second, a mysterious man wearing a white cloak and a one-eyed mask jumped out of it, and in an instant, several sword lights fell, and the huge castle tower suddenly turned into debris.
