Lily frowned, her face full of displeasure, but she still said: "...for a guy like her who seems to have no friends, forgive...forgive her for not being able to lie."

Steve also felt the same way. If the other party really planned to lie to him, she could make a fuss about Lily.

"Okay, then let's try!"

"Yeah." The little witch nodded and walked over, hugging Steve's hand.

Steve was taken aback by her movement, and then realized that Lily was in a mentally cringing state, so he smiled at her and pulled out the parasol.

·

When Steve pulled out the umbrella, the surrounding environment immediately began to become distorted and blurred, as if nothing could be used as a reference point except his own foothold. Soon, the rooftop in front of him, the distant place The waste capital has melted into ink and flowed to the ground, and darkness has completely enveloped the area.

Steve felt that Lily was gripping his slender fingers with a little more strength, and thought she was a little scared, so he took out a torch, which was different from the previous torch, it looked green.

"...Master, what happened to your torch?"

"This is not an ordinary torch. This is a forbidden torch. It is something in a new module I got. It can bounce off all hostile creatures and attacks around it. There are 10,000+ ones of this thing!" Steve took again. Take one out and give it to Lily.

Lily, who was attracted by the torch, wondered if it was Steve who said this thing was so magical, but because of this, she looked much better than before.

The surrounding environment didn't stop changing after it merged into the darkness, but spread and gathered like ripples on the ground.Soon, Steve discovered that something strange "grows" out of the shoe's ripples. It's not a plant, but a door, which is very similar to the torii gate of the shrine, but it's not red.

Doors grew out of the corrugated black ground one by one, as if trying to lead Steve and the others somewhere.

Now that we're all here, it's natural to go to the end. Steve and Lily exchanged glances, the little witch nodded heavily, and the two walked towards the middle of the door together.

The gate line looked very long, as if it had no end, Steve carefully observed the surroundings to deal with any unexpected situation.But it turned out that it didn't take too long to get to the end of the door, and the end didn't look like a sinister place...it looked like a downtown area.

The big sun hangs in the sky, as if this place is no longer Gensokyo.

"Where is this?" Steve, who suddenly found himself standing in the middle of the market, looked around blankly.

"Here? This is the world!" A child next to him raised his head, and soon noticed Steve's appearance. He was surprised at first, and then burst into laughter: "Hey, this uncle looks really weird, hahahaha! "

Chapter 403 Vixen

The child's laughter attracted the attention of passers-by, and they soon discovered that such a man with a strange appearance and a strange painting style appeared in the market.And Steve's T-shirt is obviously far from the ancient style of the villagers here.

So, for a while, the villagers began to watch Steve.

"... Is he human? How could someone look like this? How could someone look like this? They are all square!"

"It's not a human! It's a monster! But I've never seen such a monster before!"

"Ah, it must be a monster, walk around, stay away, and getting involved with monsters will never be a good thing."

"... Go, go, go."

After a while, the crowd of onlookers dispersed again, and the child was also dragged away. Steve was still a little unclear about the situation... Where is Zi Yakumo?What about the agreed boss?How is this place?He waved the umbrella in his hand, it was obviously just an ordinary umbrella, no matter how much he waved it, he would never return to the original place.

"It seems that we have been tricked." Steve threw the umbrella into the inventory, and shrugged helplessly: "This place doesn't look like a place where the big boss will be."

But at this moment, Lily was looking back at the passage that had disappeared. She frowned and thought seriously for a long time, then shook her head uncertainly: "No, I don't think it's that simple."

"What did you find?" Steve asked.

"Although you can see the blue sky here, the blue sky above your head is fake." Lily shaded the sun with one hand and looked at the sun on her head at about ten o'clock in the morning. "This environment is closed, and it is a relatively small one." The closed environment is not a large barrier like the Great Barrier of Gensokyo, if you stay here for too long, normal people will go crazy!"

"Really." Steve looked around here, but he didn't see the mystery here, "That is to say, this is indeed the boss room?"

"Probably," Lily replied with an uncertain statement, "but just now that child said that this is the place of the world, didn't the monster with the horns mentioned the place of 'the place of the world'? Could it be that this is In the world?"

"This is the pig farm?" Steve blurted out the truth, of course, he quickly covered his mouth, looking around to see if anyone noticed what he said.

Lily smiled: "I'm not sure, seeing is believing, let's take a look around!"

Steve nodded, he also planned to take a stroll around first.Maybe it's because I look really weird, and I was avoided by the people here, but they don't seem to reject monsters from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Steve walks casually on the street like this, in fact, no one will come to find him. his trouble.

The sun was shining brightly above his head, the bustling stream of people passed by him, the owner of the roadside vendor occasionally cast strange glances, and occasionally urchins ran past laughing and playing... Steve felt that this was an ordinary village.

It's just that compared to the places I have encountered before, this place is full of an old taste.

The houses are basically made of wood, and the windows are not glass, but also wooden windows.Most of the wooden houses are facing the street, so there will be an extra row of eaves at the position of the beams.There is usually a flag on the eaves, and the icons on the flags are different, probably what is sold here.

If there is no flag, there will be a wooden sign horizontally at the door, with names such as "Yamashita" and "Honda" written on it.

Although the houses are not high, they generally have a second floor. When you look up, you can see the very low balcony and sliding windows on the second floor, but most of them are closed.

These houses of similar style and size were lined up for about a few hundred meters before falling down.Occasionally, there are a few families at the intersection, but they are all scattered. All in all, this is a small place, which is completely incomparable to the intricate and complicated Academy City, and it is not even as big as a school district there.

Steve saw a shop selling agricultural tools and wanted to go in, but he didn't expect the shop owner to rush out before he even entered, waving his hands vigorously at him.

Seeing this short man with a frightened expression but waving his hands vigorously, Steve was confused... Don't I just want to go in and have a look?

"Most of the shops here don't accept monsters, and only a few stores sell things for monsters." A cold and mature voice came from behind Steve, and this voice was not Lily's.

Steve turned his head and was slightly startled when he saw the other party. After hesitating for two seconds, he suddenly said: "...Are you a chrysanthemum monster?"

"..." The ambiguous meaning of this sentence made the other party feel angry, but she was silent for three seconds and said, "It's not a chrysanthemum, it's a fox."

"...It's actually a golden nine-tailed fox..." It was Lily who said this.

Steve didn't know the goods, but it was impossible for her not to know.Although the woman in front of her had the face and figure of an ordinary human woman, her very eye-catching golden tail was enough to prove her identity.

Monsters like fox demons are not unique to Japan, and as heroic spirits, they also know a little about this.It is said that the growth of the fox demon is extremely difficult, and only grows a tail every 1000 years. The fox demon in front of me has nine tails, which means that she is a monster from at least 9000 years ago, and she can definitely be called a great monster. level.

In modern languages, very beautiful women are generally called "fox spirits", and monsters like fox demons do have a beauty that most women can hardly match.The same is true for the one in front of him, but probably the other party didn't want to put on that kind of soft and charming posture. At this moment, on the delicate face of this fox demon, the golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, carrying a bit of a beast's breath.She cautiously looked at the master and servant in front of her, especially Lily, the look in her eyes seemed to be assessing something.

Lily also stared at each other cautiously.

However, when the atmosphere is tense, Steve, who doesn't understand the atmosphere, will always pull the situation in a strange direction.

"Golden nine-tailed fox? You said it was a fox? How could there be such a fox?" Steve was shocked.

The little witch was a little helpless, but felt that it was necessary to answer his question: "She used to be a fox, and the predecessors of many monsters were animals, which is normal."

"Uh...is that so?" Steve looked curiously at the tall vixen in front of him, "What does she eat? Can she be domesticated?"

"..." Lily choked.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say, although she knew that what Steve meant must be literal, but when she said "domestication" to such a woman with high eyebrows, Lily suddenly understood the phrase "vixes are all women The meaning of "enemy"... Yes, it is simply a natural enemy.

But when Steve said this, the other party's expression couldn't be tense, and she narrowed her eyes like a wild beast, grinned, and let out a threatening growl from behind her long canine teeth: "...if If you say something like that again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Oh, okay, then I won't say it, I won't say it." Steve waved his hand, and he didn't want to mess with the other party here, "Is there anything you want from us?"

Steve asked so seriously that Fox, who had come to ask the other party's motives, froze: "...Uh, I'm Yakumolan... No! This sentence should be my line. When you come here, what are you doing?" What is the purpose?!"

"Yakumo Blue?" Steve, who was attracted by the word, tilted his head and thought about it, "What's your relationship with Yakumo Zi?"

"..."

Yakumo Lan, the nine-tailed fox demon, didn't answer right away. She felt that she needed to slow down the pace of the conversation, and she couldn't be led by the nose by this strange guy.This is obviously his home field, how could he be so embarrassed by the other party?

Taking a deep breath, she tried to seize the initiative: "This is my place, intruder, tell me your purpose, otherwise I will completely imprison you in the cracks of the realm."

When Yakumo Lan said that, Steve was relieved, since the other party's name is Yakumo Lan, it must have something to do with Yakumo Zi, since the other party has expressed such a domineering attitude, of course he can't be too weak: "Do you want to fight? Well, I don't expect a peaceful solution anyway."

With that said, Steve took out the flag.As soon as the spear-like flagpole was pulled out, the sky that was originally full of bright sun was suddenly shrouded in black dark clouds.Soon, strong winds rolled up, and a huge vortex of black clouds quickly appeared in the sky. Red lightning flashed across the vortex, and the sound of thunder hit everyone's ears like waves.

Under the apocalypse-like sky, the crowd on the street screamed and ran towards home in a panic, and knocked over the old fruit vendor's things in a panic, and the old man desperately picked up the things he sold in the crowd's chaotic pace. fruit, although many have been trampled.

The strong wind overturned several wooden houses, the creaking sound of broken wooden beams, the cries of children, and the sound of dogs barking all joined together, and the peaceful and peaceful town became such a tragic scene in an instant.

"Stop it! Do you want to ruin this place?" In the gust of hunting, Yakumo Lan snarled at Steve.

Steve was also a little confused at this time, he didn't expect the flag to make such a big noise, but since he decided that the person in front of him was an enemy, he would definitely not listen to the other party: "Impossible, before you surrender I won't give up!"

"Damn it! You despicable outsider!" Yakumo gritted her teeth.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the wind suddenly stopped.A slightly serious female voice came from the sky: "...Blue? What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Zi, I will deal with this intruder right away."

"...So that's it. No, don't do it." The female voice paused for a moment: "People from another world, you are here to find me! Lan, bring him to my place."

"But, Master Zi..."

"It's nothing but, don't you listen to me?"

"Yes……"

Chapter 404 Friction

The other party has already said that he wants to see him, but at this moment, Steve's mood is delicate.

After being sure that the other party is Yakumo Zi, and this fox is Yakumo Zi's paparazzi, it stands to reason that there should be only one thing for me to do now - beat the other party up, and then force her to release that strange spell .

Things turned out like this, Steve was a little strange, he raised his head and yelled at the invisible Yakumo Zi in the sky: "I don't think we have anything to talk about, if you stop your actions, I will let you go!" I pass you, otherwise there is nothing to talk about between us."

Steve said this very firmly, there is no room for maneuver.

The other party was silent for a while and then said: "...you can fight with me, but can you stop the flag in your hand first, this kind of spell will kill everyone here."

Of course Steve didn't take this approach: "No way, if you really want to show your kindness, then get caught now!"

But something unexpected happened to him.

After the other party seemed to let out a sigh of relief, he said in a very calm tone: "Okay, I admit defeat, then you can release your spell now!"

……what?what's the situation?

After finally getting to the boss room, the boss just surrendered?Of course Steve didn't believe it: "You're lying to a child!"

"I won't lie to you, I swear on my own fate."

The other party seemed to come up with a very powerful thing, but Steve didn't know what fate is. He felt that this opponent was really inexplicable. He had no choice but to pass his gaze to Lily, who was silent for a while and said: "Master, Stop it first! If this is really the opponent's weakness, then we can take the initiative at any time, if not, then there is no point in doing so."

Lily seemed to be right in saying that, and Steve put away the flag in his hand.

As soon as the flag was put away, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, and the strong wind disappeared, as if the scene just now was an illusion.

Seeing such a scene, Steve felt very strange, and sighed: "The climate in this place is really strange."

Hearing what Steve said, Nine-Tailed Fox Yakumo looked at him strangely: "...It's not all your good deeds."

"Ah?" Steve blinked, with an expression of not knowing what the other person meant, "It wasn't like this when I took it out before, isn't this place weird?" Steve didn't think it was him at all. The problem.

"It is indeed the problem of this place," said magic expert Lily at this time: "This place is a special space supported by monster power. The power of your monsters comes from a power called 'fear'. According to us, it is Mixed with resentful energy, and Maseter's treasure can directly use resentment. Taking out this treasure is like holding a torch in a bomb warehouse. Whether you want it or not, a chain reaction will occur, isn't it Our problem."

Lily's explanation made Yakumolan take a deep look at her, but she didn't continue to speak, but silently lowered her head and made a standard Japanese bow: "Anyway, the people here are all alive. Human beings, thank you for making such a wise judgment. Next, let me take you to see Master Zi!"

The respectful and humble appearance of the other party is completely different from the beast that grinned just now. This contrast made Steve a little uncomfortable for a while: "Uh... is it far away?"

"Not far, just in this world, please follow me." After finishing speaking, the other party nodded, turned around and walked in the direction where Steve and the others came.

The master and servant exchanged glances, nodded in tacit understanding, and followed one after the other.

After being swept by the sudden storm, the whole town became quiet. Even if the storm subsided now, no one came out to see what was going on.The reason is self-evident, it must be the ghosts here.Steve himself doesn't feel guilty at all. After all, he is not the kind of person who likes to take all the responsibility on himself, and this gang of monsters breeds humans first. The herd is free.

Yes, Steve always felt that these monsters were keeping humans in captivity.

But what they did just now seems to be a bit wrong... Logically speaking, they should be doing all-or-nothing big things now, how can they just admit defeat because of the life and death of a group of livestock?Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that this is a trap of the other party, but that swear seems a bit cruel.This made Steve feel a little wrong. Thinking of this, he asked directly: "Speaking of which, the humans here are all the food you raise!"

The fox walking in front paused for a moment, she turned her head and gave Steve a sideways face: "...Who told you this?"

"Isn't it? You rely on the fear of human beings to exist, so these people are raised by you. Their way of life is quite old. Basically, life, old age, sickness and death are all up to the gods!" After seeing Fuyuki City and Academy City, Shi Tiff already has a considerable understanding of the levels of human civilization.

The fox was silent for a while: "Yes...you are right, it is indeed so."

"Then there is absolutely no reason for you to give up the whole plan for this sacrifice!" Steve said straightforwardly as always.

Yakumo Lan lowered his head and was silent for a while: "... Maybe in your opinion, we are such a place, but I have to tell you clearly, we are not what you imagined."

"Oh," Steve didn't intend to pay attention to the other party's stoic expression that seemed to be living a hard life, "so what is it?"

"...You bastard!" Yakumo Lan gritted her teeth angrily, but now she knew that she no longer had the right to be angry.Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to argue with Steve, but she still warned, "I know you have all kinds of prejudices against us, but I believe Master Zi will explain everything to you clearly."

Unexpectedly, Steve shook his head: "You're wrong, I don't have any prejudices, I have done the thing of raising villagers in captivity, um, for the emerald."

Yakumo Lan didn't realize what Steve wanted to say for a while, her expression froze for a while, and then forced a serious expression: "...Although I don't know what you did, but I I must tell you that Master Zi saved everyone."

"That's right! Then she's pretty amazing!"

"...Your tone."

"What's wrong? I'm really sighing from the bottom of my heart!" Steve didn't know what was wrong with him.

"...Do as you please!" Yakumo Lan turned her head and continued to lead the way, but this time the pace was obviously faster.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye understands it.Due to the limited position, it is impossible for Yakumo Lan to look at Steve pleasingly at the moment, but Steve himself is completely unaware of it, but thinks this fox that looks like a human is quite interesting.Especially when the nine golden tails were dangling in front of him, Steve thought it would be nice to have a fox with so many tails.

"Well, fox monster, can I inquire about something?" Steve suddenly quickened his pace and leaned forward to ask.
