Chapter 5: The Prisoner Appears
"Yo, here we go again."
β...... Even if I say no, you'll still come, alas. β
Generally speaking, the guys who live in the old hell are not the type that can get along well, such as ghosts, such as Jue.
The great master of the Earth Spirit Hall still felt unpleasant as always today, it was nothing more than an increase in the number of people who came to the old hell to disturb him, not to mention that there was a particularly dazzling existence among them.
"Has Gensokyo recently entered the season of peace?" Looking at the red and white and black and white in front of her unscrupulously enjoying her afternoon meal, Miss Jue felt that her cultivation level was constantly rising with the appearance of the other party.
"Don't say that, we're kind too!" Compared to Reimu, who looked like a starving ghost, Marisa finally took the time to raise her head and respond.
β....... Never mind. After being silent for a while, she simply gave up, after all, talking to the Hirori witch about common sense means that she has a problem.
She glanced back at a certain bird's head who was walking around the room, apparently stuck in a cycle of boredom, and felt unusually tired today.
"At your request, I've already called Akong, so, what's going on?" Jue asked, staring at the two of them who were eating Haisai.
There was a momentary pause in the movements of both red and white and black and white, and then red and white continued, and black and white raised his head in embarrassment and replied, "Sorry, this is a secret matter." β
"I said, there must be a limit to looking down on youkai," Jue raised his eyebrows calmly, and said lightly, "What kind of secret do you have in front of mind-reading monsters, you guys." β
β......β
β......β
There was a moment of awkwardness in the atmosphere.
It's also oh.,The mind-reading ability of the Jue clan is almost the most scoundrel passive skill.,Ignoring the gap, there are no exceptions.,Even the monster sage can't be spared.γ
Understanding the problem, Reimu just looked up and glared at Jue, and then, as if in revenge, stuffed something into her mouth faster.
Marisa scratched her head and said, "Since that's the case, I won't hide it." β
She then told Satoru everything that had happened in the recent days, including their guesses about who they were attacking, and the unfathomable nature of the enemy.
After hearing this, Jue just looked at them with a very strange look.
As underground youkai, they came to live here when Hell moved thousands of years ago, and they have a long time limit of communication with the surface youkai, or they themselves don't want to have any contact with the surface before moving here.
As a result, information about the Old Hell is slow to circulate, and it may take a long time for what happens on the surface to reach here.
It is precisely because of this that Jue was able to look at this "change" from the perspective of a complete bystander.
Because for her, except for Akong, all parties belong to the category of nodding friends.
So she immediately noticed the weirdness, or blind spot, which was absolutely imperceptible to Reimu and Marisa in it, after all, they had long been used to it.
With a helpless sigh, Jue said slowly: "It seems that it's too late, after the eldest lady is resolved, the next thing is Akong, you better stay here, please be sure to go outside when the fight starts for a while, this is my home after all." β
"Huh?" Marisa was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Reimu with the same expression.
Although they didn't know what Satoru had guessed, it didn't prevent them from hearing her superficial meaning, that is, the prisoner would definitely come to the Old Hell, and that it was if Remilia was dealt with first.
Reimu doesn't understand, what is the difference between Remilia and Akong? She couldn't see that even the people who had been attacked before were almost completely random in order except for one thing in common.
Why can Satoru conclude that Remilia will be attacked before Akon? Just because they're here? No, it's not.
There must be some decisive difference between the Red Devil Pavilion and the Earth Spirit Temple, except for the geographical environment, there are only the guys who live in it, vampires, magicians, humans, monsters, and ...... Straight?
The ability to read minds!
Suddenly, a chill swept through Reimu's body.
"Marisa, take Akong, let's leave right away!" Reimu's appearance as if she was facing a great enemy made Marisa stunned and already pulled up from her seat by the other party.
"Let's go, where are we going?"
"To the underworld!" Reimu gritted her teeth and said, "I have to check if that undead is really dizzy!" β
As soon as the words fell, Reimu saw a dark purple curtain enveloping the entire outside of the Earth Spirit Temple, blocking all ways out.
And at this moment in the Red Devil Pavilion.
Remilia was entertaining an uninvited guest, her face unreadable through the hood on her head, and the figure hidden under the black robe was full of bad intentions.
"Sneaky guy," Gungnir stood up from his seat, and the black wings that slowly opened behind Remilia were filled with a tyrannical aura: "Disappear from Miss Ben's eyes in three seconds, otherwise-"
"Remilia Scarlet."
An unfamiliar female voice came from afar, and the hands that reached out from under the black robe each held a talisman and raised it gently: "As a gift for the first meetingββ"
Remilia's eyes were slightly condensed, this starting style is ......!
"'Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array'!"
"Reimu's Spell Card?!"
Her body turned into countless blood-light bats scattered and escaped the shackles of the barrier, and Remilia regrouped in the air, the spear in her hand shining with an ominous light.
"Gungnir!"
The spear that turned into a red light and smashed down was stopped by a huge wall of runes that rose from the ground, and after that, raindrops of runes flew in the air.
"Shikigami Suzaku!"
The palms turned into blades of fire, and the ground around the black-robed man quickly disintegrated to a molecular level that was unrecognizable to the naked eye as if it had been melted into wax figures.
Remilia caught the rebounding Ganganir with one hand, and looked at the powerful enemy in front of her like a demon god descending into the world, but she was also shocked but also wondered why this movement did not alarm the others in the Red Devil Pavilion.
"Don't worry, all I'm looking for is you, they'll be fine, oh yes, and the maid." It seemed to read Remilia's thoughts, and the black-robed man kindly explained.
"Sakiya? You bastard!! β
The red cross lit up behind her back, and the size of the spear in Remilia's hand skyrocketed by more than two times, and she threw it again without hesitation.
But even if he is as sharp as Gangenir, he is helpless in the face of the flames that can be burned out in the world.
Once again, the black-robed man easily deflected away from Remilia's attack, and just as she was in a hurry, a gap slowly opened behind her.
"Yakumo Murasaki?" Remilia was stunned at first, and then said without hesitation: "You came just in time!" Let's take down this suspicious guy together! Be careful, her abilities look ...... weird"
The words stuck in her throat could not be spoken, and the strange sensation coming from behind made Remilia feel as if she had fallen from the dome, and the consciousness of the struggle was rapidly disappearing.
"You guy......" glanced back at Yakumo in disbelief, and Remilia's consciousness sank into darkness for a few breaths.
Catching the vampire who fell in his arms, Yakumo Zi stared coldly at the black-robed man in front of him: "Didn't we say it, let you move quietly?" β
"There's no need anymore, and they should find out now." The black-robed man lightly took off the outer coat used to hide his identity, and inside was a wide onmyoji robe.
