A journey into an infinite dimension

What kind of experience would cause a 5 or 6-year-old girl to develop a second personality, and choose to leave everything to the second personality, while escaping everything by falling into a deep sleep?

Bo Liling didn't know, but she could guess.

It must not be a good thing.

So is there any possibility that Reimu's original personality will awaken?

Bo Liling couldn't help but think of this.

[Yes, after all, she is only in a deep sleep, not an eternal sleep. If she senses danger, she will wake up naturally.]

As if she could see Hakurei Ryo's thoughts through her eyes, Yakumo Yukari gently opened her folding fan to block it in front of her and spoke calmly.

[However, her personality is no better than Reimu's. Although the two personalities likely share everything, including memories, their differences will fundamentally lead them to make different choices regarding the same issue.]

[This means that Reimu may recognize you as her mother, but her original personality will not.]

“That requires education.”

Looking at the carefree Lingmeng, Bo Liling said softly.

"As long as I am Ling Meng's master, I will always be the master of both of them."

"Isn't it Mom?"

Looking at Hakurei Ryo teasingly, Yakumo Yukari teased.

"Your pain nerves are stiff, so do you need me to help you recover?"

Gently pinching the knuckles of her fingers, Hakurei Ryo glanced at Yakumo Yukari with an ambiguous look.

"Before that, you should stretch your muscles first."

Looking back at the sky outside the torii, Yakumo Yukari chuckled.

"An old friend has come to visit. Would you mind leaving your life behind?"

The indifferent words echoed softly in the air. As Yakumo Yukari's voice fell, a figure appeared quietly above the torii, as if it had existed from the beginning, looking down at Hakurei Ryo and Yakumo Yukari.

"Long time no see, Youkai Sage."

Three thousand black hairs were like a waterfall, and a pair of clear mirror-like pupils clearly reflected the appearance of the three people below. The person who came was Jing.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Jing."

Looking at the mirror with a smile, Yakumo Yukari said lightly.

"Why, you're tired of living in seclusion, so you're planning to come out and cause some trouble?"

"If I don't show up after my men are killed, wouldn't I be unworthy of being a demon king?"

Ignoring Yakumo Yukari's words, Kagami just looked down at Hakurei Ryo, and then his gaze turned to Reimu.

"The next generation of Hakurei Miko? It seems like you're almost done, 22nd generation."

In the eyes of the world, although the Hakurei shrine maidens possess great power, as the price of power, the lifespan of successive Hakurei shrine maidens is very short.

Because the power of the Hakurei shrine maiden comes from the Hakurei Great Barrier, and how can the fragile human body bear external power for a long time?

Therefore, as the price of connecting to the great barrier, the lifespan of the Hakurei shrine maidens is only about 25 years.

It's not the 25 years she spent as a Hakurei shrine maiden, but the 25 years from her birth to her death.

In other words, every Hakurei shrine maiden died in her prime.

Moreover, no Hakurei shrine maiden was killed by the enemy; almost all of them voluntarily resigned and died.

In addition, each Hakurei shrine maiden never had close friendships with anyone during their lifetime, so no one even knew how they died.

All the world knows is that different Hakurei shrine maidens wear different masks.

As for why every generation wears a mask, it is said that this mask is their spiritual weapon, and no one has ever seen the face under the mask of the witch.

Therefore, Hakurei Miko can basically be said to be the most mysterious existence in Gensokyo.

Now if Jing calculates carefully, it is indeed almost time for the next generation change since she last heard about the change of Hakurei shrine maidens.

With the addition of Reimu wearing the Hakurei shrine maiden's costume, Jing was even more certain of this.

However, whether the Hakurei shrine maidens changed generations or not had nothing to do with her. In her eyes, all the Hakurei shrine maidens were just rats who relied on their predecessor Fukuzawa to show off their power.

The one she truly admired was the first generation who defeated her only by using his own strength instead of relying on the great barrier.

All other witches besides these are little Doyles.

"It shouldn't be a problem to get rid of you old guys."

Pursing his lips, Bo Liling looked at the big monster who had been beaten several times by him in different identities and said domineeringly.

"It's just right. Since you came here yourself, then get ready to go to reincarnation."

Bo Liling didn't make any movement, but surging spiritual power mixed with fighting spirit burst out from her body, directly suppressing Jing who was high above.

"Don't you know my ability? You want to fight me here. Don't you want to be my heir?"

Being looked down upon by a "junior" like Hakurei Ryo, and even being ridden on the face, even though Kagami is the most indifferent of all the big monsters living in Gensokyo, he couldn't help but frown at this moment.

If they said this to the first, second or third generation, it would be fine, but who are you, a young generation?

"Do you think you can hurt my heir?"

With a disdainful sneer, facing Bo Liling's words that showed that she completely didn't take him seriously, Jing's eyes turned completely cold.

She has an indifferent personality and lives a secluded life without competing with the world, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own pride.

She single-handedly grew from a weak Tsukumogami to a powerful great monster whose power was comparable to that of a god. Even though she had been looked down upon by others several times when she was weak, after she slaughtered all her enemies and became a great monster, no one dared to look down on her for a long time.

Even the first generation doesn’t have it!

An aura even more powerful than Bo Li Ling's suddenly burst out from Jing's body, breaking through her spiritual power suppression while also pressing down on Bo Li Ling in turn.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as the atmosphere between Hakurei Ryo and Kagami was on the verge of breaking out; Reimu was still chasing butterflies without knowing anything; and Yakumo Yukari helped Reimu block all the momentum, a heavy and shocking sound like thunder suddenly reached everyone's ears, and every sound made people's hearts beat involuntarily.

"Ok?"

This kind of movement could not be concealed at all. Including Ling Meng, who didn't know when Jing appeared, everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sound came from at the same time.

Reflected in their eyes, a strange beast with the body of an eagle and a lion was stepping on the air, flying from afar with its wings fluttering. It was so fast that it arrived at the shrine in the blink of an eye.

With the eyesight of Jing, Bo Liling and the other three, they all saw the two petite and tender figures on the body of the strange beast.

"Rabbit and child?"

"Yomi (younger brother)?"

Chapter 374: The Riddler is Really Convoluted

"Good morning, Sister Ling, Sister Yakumo."

Hephaestus in griffin form gently landed next to Hakurei Ryo, and Ye Jian politely greeted her and Yakumo Yukari in a low voice.

Then he glanced at Ling Meng who was looking at him curiously, smiled at her, and turned his attention to Jing.

All the information unfolds in the field of vision, from Jing's life experience to her future possibilities, including her personality and habits, everything is clear to the naked eye.

Naturally, this also includes the purpose of her trip and the fact that she is the king of the cicada demons.

However, the latter was something Ye Jianzhao had learned from the cicada demon a few days ago.

"Oh, this is the Hakurei shrine maiden of this generation."

A small head popped out from Hephaestus's back. Di looked at Hakurei Ryo and Yakumo Yukari, then waved at them with a smile.

"And Mr. Youkai Sage, it's been a long time."

Hearing Emperor calling Yakumo Yukari "Sir", not only Yakumo Yukari herself, but even Hakurei Ryo and Yami couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.

"It's been a while since we last met, Yomi-chan, and Inaba-tei."

But in the end, they didn't say anything.

"Although I want to chat with you, now is obviously not the time."

Although the tense atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of Ye Jianhedi, it did not mean that the situation had really become calm.

"22nd generation, I came here just to ask for an explanation."

However, their appearance did not change anything. At least they could not fight for the time being.

"You were the one who killed the three Tsuchigumo brothers, weren't you?"

He glanced at Hephaestus, which Di and Ye Jian were riding, and then ignored them. Jing asked Bo Liling in a calm voice.

"of course."

It seemed as if they were just discussing something like killing a chicken, and there was no special ups and downs in Bo Liling's tone.

In fact, since Ye Jian and Di arrived, her eyes have never left Ye Jian.

"Take three of my moves. After three moves, no matter the outcome, this matter will be over."

His figure swayed and he appeared silently on the ground. Jing looked up at Bo Liling and spoke in a businesslike manner.

As a hegemon, if a leader does not care about the life and death of his subordinates, then such a leader will definitely be unpopular.

Even though one can enslave subordinates through force, there is still a difference between loyal and proactive subordinates and unwilling ones.

Therefore, no matter what the reason is, Jing needs to seek an explanation for the death of the three Tsuchigumo brothers.

“It doesn’t matter—”

Bo Liling was not too surprised by this development.

She had long been accustomed to the tempers of these big monsters of the old times.

Both of them are very concerned about their reputation.

However, just as she was about to say yes, she was unexpectedly interrupted.

"If possible, let me take Sister Ling's place and take your three moves."

Without any warning, Ye Jian suddenly spoke.

"""no!"""

As soon as he finished speaking, Di, Hakurei Ryo and Yakumo Yukari all spoke up at the same time to stop him.

"Xiaoye, don't mess around. This is not a game. The opponent is a giant monster that has lived for a thousand years."

The young face was filled with seriousness at this moment, and the emperor taught him a stern lesson.

"Besides, there's no need for you to accept this bet on behalf of Hakurei Miko."

Just as Di said, apart from the "Eye of True Vision", Ye Jian is just an ordinary child. Facing a big monster that has lived for thousands of years, it would be difficult for him to block even one move, let alone three. Let's say he and Bo Li Ling are strangers who have only met once. There is no need for him to replace her.

"In a sense, I watched Sister Ling grow up, huh?"

The words sounded completely opposite, but with an inexplicable calmness that made people believe it, Ye Jian smiled gently.

"Furthermore, if there is no intervention, the outcome of this bet will only be a tragedy."

"Although this tragedy has nothing to do with me, I don't want a tragedy that I don't like to see to actually happen."

Although this sentence sounds a bit confusing, Ye Jian's meaning is very clear.

He saw a tragedy that would happen in the future, a tragedy that he did not like.

If he didn't see it; if it had already happened; if he was powerless to stop it; if it required a huge price to pay, then he would not try to be brave.

But he saw it, it hadn't happened yet, he had the ability to stop it, and it didn't cost much to do so, so he would stop it.

Because he can, and because he doesn't like it.

Doing something that is very risky in the eyes of others just because you "don't like it" is a choice that no one with a little bit of mature thinking would make.

But Ye Jian is indeed not that mature.

Being more mature than your peers does not mean you will be on par with adults.

Because the lower limit of this "peer" is too low, for him who is less than 6 years old, it meets the standard if his maturity level is comparable to that of a 6-year-old, and it also meets the standard if he is comparable to that of a 7-year-old.

However, whether they are 6 or 7 years old, they are still at a childish age.

Therefore, Ye Jian is actually still at the age where "what you like should be obtained, and what you don't like should be destroyed."
