Facing Yakumo Ran's smiling face, Yoru didn't hesitate and answered directly: "It's an advanced technology from the outside world, but there are very few finished products, and I only have this one."
"Do you know anyone else who wears the same armor?"
Yakumo Ran's eyes widened slightly. Under Yoru's deliberate guidance, she had already defined Yoru, Night Rogue, and Stalk as users of advanced technology from the outside world, and thus wanted to get some information out of Yoru.
"Yes, one of them is named Himuro Gentoku, and the other is named Ishidou Soichi."
Yoruichi sincerely told Yakumo Ran his name. He was not lying. Whether before or after his transmigration, the only people who could transform into Kamen Riders were Honest Man and the former E-class. Anyway, Honest Man was used to being tricked, so he wouldn't mind being tricked again.
"Himuro and Ishido? I understand, thank you for your cooperation!"
Whether it was because Yoru's acting was too good, or because he really spoke the truth in some sense, Yakumo Ran didn't seem to see through the deception. Instead, she nodded thoughtfully, gave Yoru a grateful smile, and then pointed at the corpses at her feet. Several gaps opened up and swallowed them.
"I hope Mr. Yoru will use his power wisely and not cause any trouble for Gensokyo."
Yakumo Ran's nine tails danced behind her, and a faint demonic aura was already emanating from her. Yoruichi's breath caught in his throat. He could feel the immense power of the demon in front of him, the power of a great demon, a power that he, in his current state, could not contend with.
"I understand, I will remember it."
"Quickly lower your head," Ye Ge replied. The latter turned around, her demonic aura slowly receding as she stepped back into the gap and disappeared. Only after confirming that Yakumo Ran had left did Ye Ge let out a long sigh of relief, covering her face and squatting on the ground, because only in this way could she hide her smile.
"You ghoul shift! You think you can get information from me? You didn't expect that, did you? You're just using my alternate accounts! You monster, you haven't lived long enough! If you're so capable, show me two real people!"
Beneath the green grassland, Ye Ge slowly lowered the hand that had been covering her face, her lips curving into a wild smile. A grand drama was about to unfold!
I suddenly had a bold idea: to use the white lotus as material for Gatling guns!
3,600 revolutions in one breath, haha!
Section 14. Something really, really bad has happened!
Having defeated the vampire, gotten rid of Yakumo Ran, and taken down the clueless little monsters listed in the quest, Yoru returned to the human world humming a cheerful tune. After receiving her reward, she could finally relax and eat and drink for the next few days!
"Tsk, Ye Ge, why are you so happy? What good thing happened? Tell me!"
As they passed the temple gate, Mokou, still dressed in her peculiar attire, recognized Yoru, who seemed to skip three steps when she walked. She raised an eyebrow and called out to him.
Ye Ge turned around, and her bright smile almost blinded her:
"Nothing, just inexplicably happy."
Of course it's a lie! The real reason why Yoruka is happy is actually very simple: he has exposed his identity as a Kamen Rider to the eyes of Gensokyo's number one voyeur and has received the approval of his shikigami. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless by wearing the other two Rider armors and wandering around, the other party won't suspect him. Being able to clear the suspicion from himself, Yoruka is naturally happy.
"Tch, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Come with me, Huiyin wants to see you."
Waving to him, Mokou had already entered the temple house. Yoka shrugged helplessly. There was nothing she could do; the elder brother of the Human Village had spoken, and she had to obey. Following Mokou's footsteps, Yoka entered this place that had nurtured the culture of the Human Village for over a hundred years.
"I've already heard the details from Mokou, Mr. Yoru. We'll be more careful about vampires, and we hope you'll be careful too, as things haven't been very peaceful in the Human Village lately."
Keine brewed a pot of tea for Yoru, and sat elegantly opposite her, while Mokou sat boldly beside her, glaring at Yoru and leaning against Keine as if declaring her ownership. They really are a couple!
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Shang Baize. But I'm a little curious, why are vampires able to live so freely among humans? Even monsters couldn't do that, could they?"
Upon hearing Ye Ge's question, Huiyin sighed, touched her forehead in distress, and spoke with a hint of helplessness:
"Mr. Yoru, you are an outsider and may not know this, but because of the arrival of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, vampires have begun to flourish in Gensokyo. The hope of immortality and the allure of power have attracted far too many people, which has led to the rapid expansion of their power. Recently, there have been frequent incidents of vampires causing trouble in the Human Village, but they have all been left unresolved. Moreover, many women and children have recently gone missing. Because there are too many of them and the history is too complicated, I have no way to find them."
Mokou clicked her tongue in displeasure but did not refute it, because what Keine said was true. Even she, a person from Hourai, had to be careful when dealing with vampires. Although these bats were far weaker than her, the Scarlet Devil Mansion stood behind them, and the Human Village could not afford to offend such a big trouble!
"Then, Teacher Huiyin, what do you plan to do?"
Huiyin smiled, shook her head, her white hair fluttering and carrying a faint fragrance. She suddenly pushed Mokou aside and solemnly said under Mokou's questioning gaze, "Mr. Yege, I know you are still hiding your power. I hope you can take care of Mokou and help her when she clashes with the vampires. I'm entrusting Mokou to you."
"Eh?"
Mokou let out a startled animal's cry, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Huiyin, who seemed to be entrusting her son to a powerful figure. She pointed at Yege, then at herself:
"Huiyin, what are you saying! Why would you hand me over to him? I'm so much better than him!"
Ye Ge's lips twitched. He was somewhat embarrassed by Huiyin's earth-shattering and tear-jerking statement. Why did he feel such a strong sense of déjà vu about this "I'm entrusting my daughter to you" flag? Could it be that Bai Ze was nearing his end and had no choice but to leave the young Mohong (?) to him?
"What are you looking at! Listen to me, what you just said doesn't count."
Noticing Yoru's gaze, Mokou glared at him fiercely and moved closer to Keine, seemingly unwilling to get close to Yoru. The latter shrugged and continued drinking her tea. It must be said that Keine's tea-making skills were truly excellent; she was practically the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother, far superior to men like Yoru.
Huiyin smiled as she watched the two bicker, a fleeting look of worry and relief in her eyes. Her abilities were even stronger than Yege had imagined. While reading the history of the vampire stronghold, although she couldn't see the person through the knight's armor, she did see Yege transform under the cover of night from the outside.
But she didn't say any of this. She only gave Yoru a subtle hint, and she had already swallowed this part of history. Even if Yukari Yakumo came, she wouldn't be able to draw any conclusions from it. This was the secrecy that Keine did, and it was also the bargaining chip she gave Yoru to protect Mokou and Hitori.
Yege gleaned some information from Huiyin's words. Although he wasn't sure how Huiyin knew, since she wasn't going to reveal it and needed his help, she was his ally and didn't need to be dealt with for the time being. Otherwise, he would have to be ruthless and risk driving Mokou mad to eliminate this scourge, Bai Ze.
"It's a pleasure working with you, Teacher Huiyin."
Ye Ge finished his tea and smiled as he extended his hand to Hui Yin. Hui Yin smiled back and shook his hand with her own.
"Yes, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. We hope you'll always be on our side, Mr. Night Song."
Huiyin's hands were soft and fragrant, much better than those of vampires, blood, or corpses.
Mokou pouted, looking displeased at the two shaking hands. She was very unhappy with Yoru's smug expression, but because of Keine, she couldn't show it. She just gave them a suspicious look.
"I always feel like you're hiding something from me."
Hmm? When did this turkey become so agile?
Secretly marveling at Mokou's incredible sensitivity in arriving late, Yoruka brushed it off without changing her expression: "It's nothing, I'm just a little fascinated by the first time I've met Teacher Keine."
Huiyin smoothed her hair and smiled politely. Of course, she knew that Yege was just being perfunctory, but she didn't call her out on it. Women dress up for those who appreciate them, and who wouldn't want someone to praise their appearance? Besides, she needed this excuse to get away with it.
"Tch! I'm warning you, don't you dare lay a hand on Huiyin! Or I'll burn you to a crisp!"
Mokou spat in annoyance and warned, although she knew that Keine was not such a frivolous person and would not say anything like love at first sight, but looking at their smiles that seemed to have a story behind them, and their hands clasped together, Mokou suddenly felt a dark feeling on her head, as if she had put something on her head.
"Fujiwara-sama... Fujiwara-sama! Something terrible has happened!"
Like a eunuch delivering a message, there was a rapid knocking at the door. The three exchanged a glance, and Mokou went to open the door, her face showing impatience: "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry? Are there any reckless monsters causing trouble in broad daylight?"
"It's not a monster! It's a vampire!"
I'm at home, just woke up and this message popped up. I have to go to Nanjing tomorrow, life is so tough...
Also, I implore all readers to stop worrying about the timeline. I've tried my best to sort it out, but it's just too messy, sob sob sob!
Section 15. The Rich Woman Discovers!!
"What? They dare to come here in broad daylight?"
Mokou picked at her ear, and after confirming that she hadn't misheard, she looked back at Keine, who nodded silently. Only then did Mokou wave to Yoru and leave with the arriving security team members.
"Mr. Night Song, please."
Huiyin looked at Yege, who had stood up. Yege nodded, then asked with concern, "Teacher Huiyin, I hope you will keep your promise."
"Of course, I don't know anything, and no one else will."
Huiyin smiled sweetly, like an innocent young girl in the prime of her youth, but Ye Ge remained unmoved, for he knew that beneath this immortal appearance lay centuries of experience and shrewdness. ...However, she wasn't his enemy, was she? Perhaps with some development, she could even become his wife... Ahem, nothing at all.
"Then I'll go take a look. The vampires shouldn't cause too much trouble during the day."
Yege strode out of the temple, leaving Huiyin sitting alone. Her pupils glowed as she perused the pages of history, watching events unfold. The smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by a sorrowful expression.
"When will the vampire problem finally be solved?"
^Yagoa left the temple and headed towards the security team. Before she even entered, she heard Mokou's angry voice and a man's disdainful snort.
"Captain Fujiwara, my men have been murdered, and the killer has still not been found. The people I sent out to investigate have also disappeared. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Holding a large black umbrella, the pale-faced young man sneered as he stared at Mokou. His skin was sickly pale, which contrasted sharply with his bright red eyes. The strong smell emanating from him made Yoru recognize him immediately.
"A native vampire?"
Sniffing, Ye Ge could now smell the purer bloodline aura emanating from this vampire after his body had mutated. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the one who had escaped from the Scarlet Devil Mansion when he launched his hunt.
"Hmph! You people were arbitrarily forcibly collecting blood from the people, so you deserved to be killed! You actually have the nerve to come here to demand an explanation? Did you drink lard today or were you sunburned?"
Mokou's face contorted, her arms crossed, her eyes filled with extreme disgust. But the young man she had insulted didn't retaliate; instead, he slowly narrowed his needle-like eyes, his voice now laced with threat:
“My subordinates did something wrong, and that should be handled by the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You humans have overstepped your bounds! Don’t you intend to hand over the culprit?”
"I don't know who it is. Go find it yourself if you're so capable."
Mokou turned around fiercely and rejected the vampires without hesitation. Since they couldn't find them anyway, she might as well take this opportunity to dampen their spirits.
"Heh, aren't you afraid we'll go on a killing spree in the human world?"
"you dare!"
The vampire revealed a sinister smile, and the murderous aura in his words instantly chilled the atmosphere. The members of the security team present nervously picked up their weapons, glaring menacingly at the group of vampires in front of them. The vampires, in turn, released their blood energy without showing any weakness, and the scene was on the verge of exploding.
"Mokou, what happened?"
Just as the two sides were about to fight, Yoru suddenly spoke up and intervened. He was holding a skewer of grilled meat in his left hand and a bottle of soda in his right hand. He stood next to Mokou with a look of great confusion in his eyes.
"You, what are you doing here! And buying things to eat! You're heartless!"
Meihong was furious. "I'm here to stand up for you and cover up the truth, and you just buy a bunch of food and stand by and watch the show?"
"Heh, human, what right do you have to interrupt our conversation?"
The vampire scrutinized Ye Ge with great interest, trying to glean something from his blood. Unfortunately, all he could glean was that Ye Ge was just an ordinary person who had undergone training; he possessed no demonic aura, magic, or even supernatural abilities—just a mortal with nothing.
Ye Ge smeared all the meat through the iron tongs, chewed it up with a smacking sound, swallowed it, and then gulped down his sugary drink. An eerie silence fell over the room. Apart from the sounds of Ye Ge eating and drinking, everyone was sweating bullets for him. How heartless he was!
"I am not very talented, but I happen to be one of the people you extorted. And coincidentally, I also had the good fortune to know Captain Fujiwara, so I asked her to help me drive away a certain trashy vampire. Now she is helping me seek justice."
After saying that, Ye Ge raised the iron pliers in her hand and pointed them directly at the leading native vampire: "I want an explanation right now. You have to pay some money. Pay up! Compensation for emotional distress!"
Mokou and the security team stared in disbelief at Yoru, who had suddenly become so arrogant. This guy was actually trying to extort money by staging an accident with a straight face, and he was even threatening a group of vampires. His defiant expression and the iron pliers shaking with anger made Mokou think he might have been fooled if she hadn't known the truth.
"good very good!"
The primal vampire could no longer remain seated; for the first time, anger appeared on his face, his teeth clenched as if he wanted to devour Night Song alive.
"No human has ever dared to speak to me like that. I will make you suffer."
"Pooh!"
He spat on the ground in front of the vampire, then casually tossed the cup to the ground opposite him, his tone full of disdain:
"What are you bunch of bats worth? You're so timid you're afraid of the sun, don't embarrass yourselves here. I'll say it again: pay up and I'll leave immediately; otherwise, get out!"
