I, who became an avatar, just want to survive

"You must be kidding..." Lin Yu let out a miserable laugh and staggered out of the human world.

"Chang Dian, how did you get involved with the gods?" Long Xiyuan waited for Lin Yu to leave before coming to Chang Dian. "Didn't we say that even with my relationship with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, we can't cause trouble everywhere?"

"How would I know?" Chang Dian replied with a wry smile, "She suddenly appeared in front of me and called out my name right away. I was wondering, do I know such a spirit?"

"In short, don't deal with gods as much as possible." Long Xiyuan answered worriedly, "Although the gods in Gensokyo are gods that are formed by the gathering of thoughts and rely on faith to exist, they are still gods, and we are not small minions who can provoke them."

Chapter 177 The Forgotten Man

Lin Yu arrived at the Monster Mountain at almost the fastest speed, but still no one recognized him.

The kappas looked at her with fear and trepidation. Lin Yu stood at the gate of hell and after much hesitation, he chose to leave.

It's simple, even Niwatari Hisawaka doesn't recognize her anymore.

"What on earth happened!" Lin Yu stood in the magic forest and looked at the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the distance, hesitating to go over.

What if...what if the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion don't recognize her anymore?

Lin Yu now just thought that this was a dream, a dream she had this winter.

As long as you keep waiting, this dream will definitely come true.

But...the truth is always cruel.

A gap appeared around her and Yakumo Yukari poked her head out.

"A new god? Even if you are a god, you are not allowed to wander around Gensokyo. Tell me, why did you come here?"

"I..." Lin Yu was interrupted by Yakumo Yukari before he could finish.

"We know that because of the lack of faith in the outside world, we plan to live in this paradise, but your way is wrong. You need to register first and then pass the test before you can settle here." Yakumo Yukari said this and wiped her eyes, "Strange, why are we crying?"

"So... this is not a joke, right?" Lin Yu's body shrank in his robe and trembled continuously. "Why... does everyone not recognize me?"

What exactly is going on here?

"Have we met before?" Yakumo Yukari looked puzzled.

"No... I haven't seen it." Lin Yu took a step back, "I... I just came to take a look."

"Well, remember not to cause any trouble, or we will force you out."

Watching Yakumo Yukari leave, Lin Yu swung his fist and punched the ground hard.

The violent magic power made Gensokyo tremble.

Yakumo Yukari wanted to take action, but finally held back.

"It looks like this god is very sad. Let's not get into trouble. As long as we don't cause any big trouble, it doesn't matter. The most urgent task now is to maintain the Hakurei Great Barrier."

It took Lin Yu a long time to adjust his breathing.

She finally decided to go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

With a rough mood, Lin Yu walked to the door of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Hong Meiling was sleeping soundly at the door with her hat in her arms, just like when she left.

But the moment Lin Yu stepped into the door, a fierce fist wind came.

The fist stopped three centimeters in front of Lin Yu.

Hong Meiling put on her hat with her other hand, "What are you doing in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, strange god?"

"I..." Lin Yu looked at Hong Meiling's appearance, but his heart was very calm. Yes, even Yakumo Yukari didn't recognize him, how could Hong Meiling recognize him?

"Meiling." Sakuya's voice sounded from inside the house, "Are there any guests at this time?"

"Although she has no hostility, she exudes a very terrifying aura." Hong Meiling did not give in at all and waited until Sakuya came out.

"There are not many gods in Gensokyo. May I ask which god you are?"

"I'm Lin Yu." Lin Yu whispered the name, hoping to evoke their memories.

"Excuse me, is there any of your friends here? Please tell me and I will convey the message to you."

"Remi... Remlia and Patchouli." Lin Yu used all his strength to spit out these two names.

"Miss? Do you know any gods?" Sakuya frowned and turned to go into the house.

Hong Meiling naturally would not continue to stop her and took Lin Yu into the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Entering the hall, Lin Yu saw his own portrait at first sight.

But the portrait has completely changed.

Although he still has white hair and red eyes, he now has two fangs on his mouth.

"Who is that?"

"Oh, you mean that one." Hong Meiling yawned, "That's Kagami no Mist Branch. It is said that she is the stepmother of the two young ladies. When the lady was pregnant, the master injected her blood into the two young ladies."

"So... where is she now?"

"Dead, those hanging there are all dead." Hong Meiling's eyes widened, "You call yourself the young lady's friend, but you don't know this?"

"...Really? Dead." Lin Yu walked to the portrait of Bonfire Mist Branch, "This pure pupil, is it the True Ancestor?"

"Humph, my mother is naturally the True Ancestor, and can only be the True Ancestor!" Remi's voice sounded, "I don't remember knowing any god named Lin Yu."

"Me too." Patchouli floated beside Remlia, "But you do look familiar, have we met before?"

"Maybe... I have seen it." Lin Yu sighed, "It has become like this. Even if I try to prove myself, I am afraid it will only bring trouble to myself."

"Hmm? What do you want to prove?" Patchouli flew to Lin Yu and said, "I'm a little upset, so I'll just listen to you."

"Upset?"

In response to Remi's question, Patchouli sighed.

"After waking up, I always feel like I've forgotten something important, as if... as if something very familiar has disappeared. I'm very annoyed now."

"Well... wouldn't it be more annoying for you to listen to this god telling riddles?"

"No, after seeing her, I actually calmed down a little." Patchouli's words aroused Remi's hostility towards Lin Yu.

"God, what did you do to Patch?"

"Although this guy's aura is terrifying, she didn't make a move. If she did, I would have noticed it." Patchouli was confident. "So, strange god, tell me, what exactly do you want to prove?"

"What can I prove?" Lin Yu spread his hands. "I want to say that the portrait behind is fake. Do you believe it?"

"Are you questioning my father?" Gungnir already appeared in Remi's hand.

Lin Yu couldn't open the system warehouse at all now, so he couldn't take out the dagger as a token of trust.

So now Lin Yu could not find any other expression except a bitter smile.

"Remi." Patchouli interrupted the angry Remlia and looked at Lin Yu thoughtfully, "God, please continue."

Seeing Patchouli's appearance, a little hope suddenly rose in Lin Yu's originally silent heart. She began to tell him every detail of her time in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but deliberately concealed her relationship with Remlia and Flandre.

"You said I taught you magic." After listening to this, Patchouli stroked her chin and paced back and forth. "There is a portrait of you that is exactly the same as yours hidden under my desk, and I often discuss the person in the painting with you... Hiss, even though it is impossible, why... I always feel that it is somewhat familiar. Could it be that there is something wrong with our memory?"

As she spoke, seven philosopher's stones appeared around Patchouli, as if she was about to cast some magic.

But when the light of the Philosopher's Stone spread to its maximum, a strange ripple swept across Patchouli.

The light of the Philosopher's Stone quickly dissipated. Patchouli turned around with red eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I've never done the kind of thing you said."

Patchouli's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she began to sob.

"Strange...strange, why am I so sad? I...I...I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Patchouli covered her face and flew back to the basement.

"Did something just sweep over Patchy?" Remlia looked at Patchouli's back. "Maybe you are right?"

Remi raised Gungnir and looked around vigilantly, "God, in your memory, what did I call you?"

"I told you, the portrait at the back is fake."

Remi immediately understood what Lin Yu meant. Perhaps because she was holding Gungnir, Remi was not angry this time. Instead, she felt a sense of disobedience.

Not directed at Lin Yu, but at the portrait.

That portrait... could it really be fake?

Looking at Lin Yu, Lei Mi hesitated for a moment and whispered a word.

But m hasn't come out yet, and the strange ripples appear again.

"There's something strange!" Remlia grabbed Gungnir and stabbed it towards the ripples. The artifact that could cut off fate went straight through the ripples.

But the ripples did not fluctuate at all, and swept through Remi with undiminished momentum, and then a huge ripple swept across the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion.

After falling to the ground, Remi immediately threw Gungnir towards Lin Yu.

"Meiling! Sakuya! Get this rude guy out!"

Without Remi saying anything, Sakuya and Benimisuzu attacked.

Lin Yu did not resist at all and let Hong Meiling send him out the door. After taking a last look at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Lin Yu turned around and disappeared into the forest.

Lei Mi, who was originally furious, looked at Lin Yu's back and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

She threw herself into Sakuya's arms and burst into tears.

Not only her, Hong Meiling and Sakuya also looked a little strange.

They didn't know what was going on, but they always felt blocked in their hearts and wanted to cry.

Especially Sakuya, she even felt a little fear in her heart, as if she had done something wrong.

Stepping on the ground of the magic forest, Lin Yu looked determined.

She already knows the source, the next step is to solve the source!

But what she didn't know was that Yakumo Yukari was looking at the Hakurei Great Barrier at this moment, wondering why the great barrier had just emitted three streams of magical powers.

"Is this abnormality caused by stimulants?" Yakumo Yukari crossed her arms over her chest, "When has the Great Barrier ever been so active?"

As time passed slowly, everyone in Gensokyo gradually accepted this strange god named Lin Yu. However, everyone was a little surprised. This god did not look for a suitable residence, nor did he look for a sage. Instead, he wandered aimlessly in the land of Gensokyo, as if he was looking for something.

The monster sages didn't say anything, so they could only hold their breath.
