Gensokyo, I, the slime, made them regret for the rest of their lives

"She also lives in the Magic Forest!?"

Hearing this, Marisa's pretty face lit up with excitement. She had lived alone for so long, and it would surely be interesting to have more neighbors!

Compared to Marisa's excitement, Reimu seemed much calmer. She was usually the type to stay still if possible, so she didn't mind helping Shiro rebuild the house, but others...

"It's already April, and my pocket money is almost here. Next time I go to the shrine, I'll give more money for the visit."

"I'll go through fire and water, no matter what. Don't worry, I'll take care of your friend's house. I promise to make it look beautiful!"

Almost at the moment the words fell, Reimu flashed in front of Bai Luo very smoothly, the sadness on her face disappeared, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

She rubbed her hands, her eyes sparkling, as if she saw the scene of silver coins entering the coin box one by one.

...

After dealing with the two little ones, Bai Luo returned to the Dream House. More than an hour had passed and lunch was just ready.

Seeing Bai Luo suddenly appear without any warning, Alice couldn't help but ask, "How did he do that? How could he disappear in the blink of an eye and come back just as quickly?"

"It's nothing."

Bai Luo said this easily, and with a flash of purple light, he was already sitting at the table: "It's just a teleportation ability, not very strong, just a little bit stronger than that guy Yakumo Yukari's gap."

Like a peacock spreading its wings, he raised his head triumphantly.

Seeing Bai Luo's obvious expression of "Praise me, praise me!", Alice smiled and complimented him obediently, "Very impressive! I didn't even notice how you disappeared or when you came."

Even if it was Yakumo Yukari's gap, as long as one was strong enough, one could detect the breath in advance, but Bai Luo could only rely on intuition or on-the-spot reaction.

...

After finishing lunch, the two headed straight to the Magic Forest.

The Magic Forest has a complex terrain, especially the deep part, which is shrouded in fog all year round.

However, when Bai Luo came to the area where Alice built the house, he found that there was no fog at all.

Rays of sunlight poured down from the sky, passed through the treetops, and illuminated the area. The fresh air rushed towards us, making it like a paradise on earth.

As if noticing Bai Luo's confusion, Alice explained, "I've set up a magic circle above that will block the fog and let the sunlight in."

Hearing this, Bai Luo looked up and indeed saw a thin magic circle.

The house has not been built yet, only a simple foundation has been laid.

Looking around, hundreds of exquisite puppets were shuttling back and forth, as if they were alive, working in an orderly manner.

Some were cutting wood, some were carrying materials, and others were hammering and hammering.

Gensokyo: Chapter 42: Great Sage: Please Stay Away from Me

"Are you controlling all these puppets?"

Bai Luo looked at these busy figures, his golden eyes sparkling with brilliance, revealing an interest that he could not conceal.

Although he had already learned from the Great Sage that Alice was good at controlling puppets with magic and could control many at the same time, he was still extremely shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Alice raised her head, the golden hair hanging down her cheeks swaying gently with her movements. She chuckled and said, "I really like dolls. They make me feel safe and happy."

At this point, she paused for a moment, "However, there are two puppets that are very special. They are not controlled by me, but have their own consciousness."

Bai Luo became interested and followed Alice's gaze, and saw two figures, one red and one blue.

At the same time, they also saw Bai Luo and Alice, and ran over excitedly.

"Shanghai, Penglai, you now..."

Alice's voice stopped abruptly. She looked at the two little ones who ran around her, stopped in front of Bai Luo, looked around them from the left and right, and even touched and sniffed them. Her brows suddenly darkened.

"Come here!"

The sudden fierce cry frightened the two little ones so much that they immediately stopped what they were doing and came to Alice tremblingly.

"What's wrong with you today! How can you be so rude! Do you know..."

Alice scolded them harshly, causing Shanghai and Penglai to lower their heads and look at their toes, not daring to look up at all.

Looking at their aggrieved looks, Bai Luo just found it amusing.

"Don't talk about them, I don't mind."

After saying that, he stepped forward and couldn't help but poke their arms. The feeling was no different from that of real people, except that they were icy cold and had no temperature at all.

"Are they really puppets?"

Alice nodded. "Shanghai and Penglai are puppets. Unlike other puppets, they don't require me to use magic threads to control them. They both have self-awareness."

Alice's expression darkened slightly as she spoke, and she clenched her fingers.

"But I can only make them both conscious, and I can't even make them make any sound."

Her voice was full of apology, and she was obviously feeling guilty for having created Shanghai and Penglai but not being able to leave them incomplete.

"It's already great."

Bai Luo consoled him, his gaze fixed on Shanghai and Penglai who were trying to console their master. He smiled and continued:

"Besides, I don't think Shanghai and Penglai mind. For them, being able to stay by your side, Alice, is already the most beautiful thing."

Shanghai and Penglai seemed to agree with this statement and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you."

This sentence is to thank Bailuo, Shanghai and Penglai.

The grayness in her azure eyes gradually faded away, and Alice said softly, her voice firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you complete and have nothing to do with ordinary people."

"Huh? So many people?"

Suddenly, a voice full of energy rang out, and then Marisa quickly ran over here, her pretty face full of excitement.

This was the first time it had been so lively here since she had moved to the Magic Forest.

"Why are you running so fast? I almost got lost."

Behind them, Reimu caught up with her, panting heavily, and glared at Marisa in dissatisfaction.

Marisa scratched her head and chuckled, "Sorry, sorry."

"How did you find this place? I was just about to bring you here."

Bai Luo asked in confusion. He himself had just arrived here under Alice's guidance, not to mention telling them the location in advance.

Marisa said proudly, "That's easy. There are only a few places suitable for building a house here. If we just search them all, we'll find the answer."

Ok.

Shiro had forgotten that Marisa had lived in the Magic Forest for so long that she could probably walk out with her eyes closed, let alone find a house in it.

Shiro came to Marisa's side and said to Alice:

"Let me introduce you. Her name is Marisa. She's the one I mentioned before, who also lives in the Magic Forest."

"The other is Reimu Hakurei, the miko of Hakurei Shrine."

Bai Luo briefly introduced the two people, and Alice also extended her hand to Marisa, who was closest to her, and said softly, "Hello, my name is Alice. I hope you will be able to guide me in the future."

Marisa's heart trembled inexplicably, and she shook her head violently. She also stretched out her hand and said with full energy:

"Okay! I'll be happy to teach you from now on!"

After the three of them got to know each other, Bai Luo suddenly remembered something and silently circled in his mind. He had made an appointment with the fake princess to play games together a few days ago, and the time seemed to be this afternoon.

[Information. You can use your clone to help Alice build the house on your behalf. Your real body will go home.]

The great sage gave advice diligently.

Is it really possible?

Bai Luo's eyes lit up.

[Yes. The Great Sage can control his clones.]

He is indeed a great sage!

Bai Luo praised without hesitation, and at the same time an idea popped into his mind.

During battle, you can create a clone, one controlled by the Great Sage and the other controlled by yourself.

Attack from both sides, invincible!

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Reimu noticed the movement from Bai Luo's side, turned her head and looked, but was stunned.

Bai Luo...became two?

Others also looked over, and when they saw Bai Luo split into two, they also showed expressions of astonishment.

Marisa rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she ran forward and took a close look at one of the Bai Luos. Seeing nothing unusual, she decisively reached out her hand.

“Hey! Ugh…hiss…”

Marisa covered his head, only to see Shiro staring at him with a stern face.

"What are you doing!"

"I saw you become two, so I wanted to see what was going on."

Marisa felt aggrieved.

Bai Luo rolled his eyes at her and said, "This is my clone. I have something else to do this afternoon, so I'll leave this clone to help you."

"Clone?"

Hearing this, Marisa rubbed her head and quickly came to the other Shiro. Even Reimu, Shanghai and Hourai gathered around curiously.

The four people came close to the clone, as if they were looking at some rare item.

Just when one of them couldn't help but reach out and touch it to see if it was the same as the real person, the clone suddenly stepped back and said indifferently:

"Please stay away from me."

The voice was female, but it sounded like a machine.

The four were startled by the clone's sudden reaction and looked at Bai Luo together.

"This is my ability—the Great Sage. Now the clone is controlled by her."

ability?

Great sage?

Everyone was stunned, even Alice was stunned. They thought it was just a simple ability like splitting into two, but now it seems that it is more than that.

"Does she have her own consciousness?"

Alice asked cautiously, and Bai Luo saw her thoughts and explained:

"The Great Sage is just one of my abilities, similar to artificial intelligence. It's not something I created."

Bai Luo's explanation made Alice understand and she said nothing more. However, Bai Luo still noticed the disappointment in her eyes.

"Don't be so sad. After I evolve into a demon king, although I can't create souls freely, I can still help Shanghai and Penglai have their own voices."

Gensokyo: Chapter 43: The Slime That Wants to Become the Demon King

Demon King?

Everyone was stunned, their eyes all fell on Bai Luo. This word was something everyone had heard of to some extent.

Whether in folk tales or mythological novels, the devil is used as a metaphor for villains who possess extremely powerful strength.

"The demon king you're talking about is the kind with terrifying power, destructive power, and the intention to destroy the world?"

Marisa couldn't help herself and asked curiously.

"I'm not an evil slime, why would I destroy the world?"

Bai Luo rolled his eyes at her helplessly, then explained, "My title of Demon King is just a title. After evolving into a Demon King, both the cells in your body and your soul will be comprehensively upgraded."

Marisa's eyes lit up as she listened to Bai Luo's description. Evolving into a demon king was simply too cool.

"Then after becoming a demon king, will I gain any powerful abilities?"
