infinite creative mode

Yakumo Lan hid aside in disgust, frowned, and breathed out a monosyllable: "Huh?"

"Have you any children? Cubs."

When asked by Steve, Yakumolan was taken aback for a moment, and she replied with a blank expression, not knowing the other party's motives: "No, I'm not married yet, what's wrong?"

"Ah...that's it." Steve showed a regretful expression, "If you have a cub, I would like to adopt one. I think it would be nice to have a fox."

"..."

Yakumo Lan stopped, her expression was blank.

No, even the whole person froze in place as if he had been hit by a hold spell.

Lily, who witnessed the whole process by the side, lowered her head and covered her face. She feels a little sorry for the fox now.

About half a minute passed silently, and Steve saw Yakumolan's tightly clenched hands trembling under the Taoist robe in front of him, and she lowered her voice and kept saying: "... After everything is over, I will definitely kill you, even if Lord Zi stops me, I will kill you..."

But her voice was too low, and Steve didn't hear it, and the square man leaned over to care: "Uh, what's wrong with you? Why don't I just ask if I can raise your cub? If not, forget it, you are so angry What are you doing... But I want to touch your tail, it feels very comfortable, so it's okay!"

"You...you...you bastard..." Yakumolan's big tail was trembling along with her body.

Seeing Yakumo Lan seemed unwilling, so Steve tried to continue to increase the chips on the balance: "If you won't let me touch it, I'll take out that flag, anyway, I don't believe you are really so care."

Lily on the side didn't know whether to stop her Master.This is indeed a way to test the sincerity of the other party, and touching the tail is not touching the buttocks, and it is not so wretched.Besides... Lily herself kind of wants to touch that fluffy golden tail.

After being forcibly linked to her sincerity, Yakumo Lan chose to sacrifice after being silent for a long time.

She lowered her head and covered her face, turned her back to Steve, and then raised her tail with difficulty at an extremely slow speed.

Seeing her submitting, Steve was happy, grabbed the other's fluffy tail and began to rub, "Wow, it's really comfortable, Lily, come and try it!"

The little witch understood that the fox fairy was suffering both psychological and physical humiliation, and she did the same thing at this time, feeling a bit sorry for being a woman.But look at the golden, fluffy big tail that always feels very soft. In the end, she still couldn't resist the temptation of the tail, and leaned forward to hug one tail and stick it to her face: "...so soft and warm."

"Right!" Rubbing rubbing rubbing...

Chapter 405 Survival

After having a good time, the master and the servant finally let go of the poor nine-tailed fox, and then she led the way without saying a word, even though Steve asked him any more questions, it seemed that he was completely beaten. Hate it.

Along the way, Yakumolan just led the way in a normal way, neither casting any spells nor summoning any portals.But it is hard to imagine that the legendary House of Lost that no one can reach is in such a village.

But soon, Steve's doubts were answered.

This place called Lost House is indeed just an ordinary Japanese-style house.At the gate of the house, a little girl in a red shirt was cleaning the yard. She probably saw Yakumo Lan approaching, so she rushed up to meet her, but followed the three of them into the yard one after another, and noticed that Steve and his girl quickly hugged her. He hid aside with a broom, as if he was afraid of strangers.

When Yakumolan saw the girl, she thought of something. She looked back vigilantly at Steve, who was also looking at the girl, and quickly stood between the two of them, and said to the girl: "This is Master Zi's guest, orange you Don't clean the yard yet, go back to your own house."

"Ah? Ah, oh." The girl named Cheng nodded ignorantly, and then walked around to the back of the yard with her broom in her arms.

Watching the girl's figure disappear, Yakumo Lan turned around with a straight face: "Welcome to the Lost House, Master Zi is inside, you wait a moment, I will report." After finishing speaking, she turned around and went in up.

Steve turned his head in confusion: "Why, didn't she know we were coming? What's the point of announcing it?"

"Maybe there is something I want to tell their adults first!" Compared to Steve's unreasonableness, Lily can still understand these red tapes.

Faster than expected, Yakumo Lan came out just after Steve and the others chatted a few words, and it seemed that they didn't have much to say.

"Master Zi is already up, you go in."

Seeing her take the initiative to stand aside, Steve blinked: "Aren't you together?"

"No, please!" Yakumo Lan seemed unwilling to talk to Steve, who shrugged and walked straight into the room.

From the outside, this house is just an ordinary house with elegant decoration, and the shoes for the guests are neatly placed in the entrance. Steve almost ignored it and stepped in. It was only after Lily reminded him that he noticed.

After entering the room, there was a voice from upstairs: "Come up!"

It was a young woman's voice, and it sounded more energetic than before.Steve didn't answer her, but just walked up the stairs facing the entrance.

The entrance to the second floor was closed, so Steve and the others went straight up to the third floor.After going up to the third floor, Steve found that it was a relatively open layout. Except for the wooden wall on the right hand side of the stairs, the other three sides were all open wooden windows, giving the illusion of a viewing platform.

In the middle of the viewing platform, a young blond woman was leaning halfway on the tatami. Steve and the others didn't even look back when they came up.However, on the low table beside her, a tea set and three bowls of tea were ready.

The other party put on such a posture, and it was hard to tell whether it was a real welcome or a grand banquet, but it made no difference to Steve. He immediately changed out the [Detection Staff] that he had prepared earlier, and pointed at the woman. ...well, it turned out to surprise Steve.

"Are you really Yakumo Zi? You are so weak!" Steve said so simply.

Lily next to him couldn't help being taken aback by Steve's head-scratching words, thinking that this might be a trap from the other party, she began to actively scan the surrounding strange energy fields with magic power...but found nothing.

The blond woman raised her head, looked up to the sky at a lazy 45-degree angle, and glanced at Steve with her purple jewel-like eyes: "Why am I not Yakumo Zi?"

"Your current energy readings are not as high as that of the red-horned female high school. Are you really the ruler here?" Steve expressed disbelief.

To this, the woman just smiled lightly: "Your thing is broken!"

"How is it possible, even the fox at the door is much taller than you, you can't be a fake!" Steve deeply doubted whether the woman in front of him was Zi Yakumo.

Faced with such doubts, the other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Then how do you want me to prove that I am Yakumo Zi? I don't have the household registration certificate from the outside world. The only thing that can prove my existence is my family." It’s just a place like Gensokyo, you’ve already come here, can’t you prove that I’m Yakumo Zi?”

Steve shook his head resolutely, even though the other party seemed to be "No, if you are the mastermind of this matter, this level of ability can't convince me that you really appeared in front of me, is it a clone or an illusion? No If we’re sincere, let’s have a fight first!”

The other party was silent.

Seeing such a situation, Steve cheered up. He felt something was wrong if the fox didn't come up with him just now. Was it really an ambush...

"...I regret it," the expected sudden attack did not appear, the blond woman just popped out such a sentence, and then shook her hair a little self-destructively, "I shouldn't let you be so weird It’s not a good feeling to be seen through for the first time by someone with a trick.”

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"I am Yakumo Zi! I am, I am not lying to you, I am Yakumo Zi, neither a clone nor a phantom. But you are right to say that I am weak, and now I am probably as weak as an ordinary monster. You can kill me!" The woman looked up at the sky, but the sky in front of her was false, and she didn't know what kind of scene she saw.

When she said that, Steve understood: "You mean you're weaker?"

"Yeah, I'm very weak now," Yakumo Zi suddenly relaxed, no longer straightened her waist, and leaned on the cushion beside her, the blond woman revealed a sick breath: "Where are you from I thought it was Jue who came from the old hell, but it was you who came here, you can really find it! You all found it here."

The other party took the initiative to say so, but Steve didn't dare to believe it: "You said you are weak, are you afraid that I will kill you while you are weak?"

The slightly sick woman showed a charming smile: "Would you?"

"I definitely will." Steve said firmly.

"What a heartless man." Shaking his head and laughing softly, Yakumo Zi smiled helplessly, "I am indeed Yakumo Zi, if you kill me now, the Hakurei Barrier will collapse. The power of those gods disappeared, and then... I don't know what will happen after that, but Gensokyo is definitely gone, so, are you going to do this now?"

------

Sorry, I delayed an update, and there will be another update in the afternoon.

Chapter 406 Yakumo Purple

At this moment, anyone can feel the fragility and despair in Yakumo Zi's tone, and even Lily can't bear it, so she can't help calling Steve softly:

"Madter..."

But at this moment, Steve only had a grin on his face: "Okay!"

As he said that, he took out a red stick, which is an upgraded version of the Dark Matter Sword, the Crimson Matter Sword.

After taking out the sword, Steve didn't slash directly at the opponent's head as before, but instead put the sword across his hand and tapped it lightly with his fingers.At the moment of knocking, the dark red blade of the sword flashed brightly, and with this flash, the tatami mat in front of him instantly shattered into hundreds of pieces, but the broken part was limited to the part around Steve.The surroundings of Yakumo Zi were blocked by an invisible wall, like a mirror blocking the invisible killing.

The shattered tatami mats fell to the ground, and Steve had a triumphant smile on his face: "You really are pretending."

Yakumo Zi also smiled, but her smile was more of a superficial smile: "...how did you see it? I should have interfered with the realm of reason and sensibility, even if you really I'm a bloodless and heartless person, so I should have some pity for me like that."

"Because I didn't believe that a person who tried his best to expand his living space would give up easily from the very beginning. I am the type who will fight with all my strength even if I feel that I must die. I can feel that you have to live ambition, and this ambition is to live stronger, greater, and broader. Without this vigorous ambition, you probably would not have made a cross-world aggression in the first place. It is too early for you to act cowardly No matter what, you can't hide your ambition." Steve smiled triumphantly.

The smile on Yakumo Zi's face also brightened: "Oh, it seems quite reasonable. But I also know a good thing."

"What?"

At this time, Yakumo Zi has returned to her original demeanor, she sat up straight slowly, and looked up and down at Steve with interest: "You and I have some similarities, this may be a good opportunity for us to cooperate. Foundation."

"Cooperation? It doesn't exist," Steve waved his hand. "That side is too strong to beat, so I can only get rid of your side."

Steve's reasoning was so straightforward that Lily covered her face behind her, basically admitting that she was a bully.

Yakumo Zi tilted her head: "I don't hate honest people! But if it's just like this, I think you are a little lacking in motivation!"

"Where is the deficiency?"

"As you said, you are also a person with great ambitions for living like me. I want to open up a paradise for monsters; what about you? Just running around as a fire brigade? I think, if you really As I know, if you can eliminate one party at will, then you will definitely not choose the most practical but also the most boring option of 'just deal with the weak'." Yakumo Zi is very confident, and smiles all over her face meaning.

Steve lowered his head and fell silent for a while: "...You are really not afraid, I decided to try this most boring option because of your words?"

"You won't." Yakumo Zi shook her head, "For me, either I think about it before doing things, and everything goes according to plan, but the result must be what I want; or I don't plan at all before doing things, and everything is adaptable , but the process must be my favorite. You should be the latter now!"

I have to say that this thousand-year-old demon has a rich life experience, and he can be humble and calm when asking for cooperation. Steve feels that playing with the other party's language and psychology may be a bit tricky.

In fact, Yakumo Zi was right.

Rather than simply ending the matter, Steve actually had the idea of ​​looking forward to something bigger.After all, root, entropy, doomsday, these things are too far away. For Steve himself, these terms are just invisible and intangible burdens.But if things get bigger, will it further disturb the Lord God?The answer is yes, at least this time he entered the space of the main god, which means that the other party has already made some moves.

Even if it is to dig out deeper information about the main god, I can't let this matter die so quickly.

His thoughts were seen through by the other party, so Steve kicked away the tatami pieces honestly, sat down at the low table next to Yakumo Zi, picked up the tea bowl and drank it in one gulp: "Since you understand so well, then you Just tell me! What benefits do you give me, let me cooperate with you."

"Don't you bring it up yourself?" Yakumo Zi tilted her head and smiled lightly. Her smile was full of indescribable slyness. Compared with the cute real fox outside, the one in front of her was more like a sly fox. demon.

"I thought you knew me better than I did."

"You really are such a troublesome character!" The monster sage smiled and shook his head.

Steve shrugged: "Let's be each other!"

Yakumo Zi smiled without answering.Although she herself is such an erratic personality who doesn't care about causing trouble at all, but in this situation, there is no good way to meet a guy who is as troublesome as herself.After thinking for a while, she glanced at Lily who was staying next to Steve, and suddenly smiled.

"Hmm...Speaking of which, you seem to have asked my Shikigami when you came here, do you want her cubs?"

"Yeah, how do you know?" Steve, who answered immediately, paused after realizing something, "Uh... what do you say that the fox below is yours?"

"As long as it's something that happens in the enchantment, I can know if I want to know, don't worry about it," Yakumo Zi smiled and waved his hand, "Lan is my shikigami, similar to the summoning object in Western magic, and your familiar It's almost the same, except that my blue is alive, not as empty as this young lady."

Lily, who was said to be nothingness, gave Yakumo Zi an unhappy look, but did not fight back immediately, mainly because it was unnecessary.

"Oh, and then? She told me that she is still single, so she has no cubs. I heard from Lily that the fox with nine tails should have lived for quite a long time. It is not time for her to give birth yet. The lifespan is really long enough!"

"Of course, a monster giving birth is actually to distribute one's own monster power. After giving birth, the monster will be much weaker. Lan is still in its prime, so there is no need to do that kind of thing. But..." Yakumo Zi didn't know where she came from He took out a folding fan and unfolded it to cover his face, "If it's for this cooperation, I can let her give birth to you once, how about it? Is this condition acceptable?"

Chapter 407 The Current Situation of Gensokyo

Steve immediately showed an expression of extreme interest, while Lily's face turned green.

... That's a real vixen, how could he be raised? !

She hurried up to stop these two crazy guys: "What are you trying to do?! Master, you are not serious!"

"..." Because he didn't understand why Lily was so excited, Steve still had a puzzled expression, "I'm serious..."

It's over... After Lily found out that Steve really planned to take a nine-tailed fox cub home, she immediately tried her best to persuade her to dispel the idea: "Don't be kidding! It takes at least a thousand years for a nine-tailed fox to give birth , how can we have so many incidents to hear her write a blank check here?"

"Oh, that's it." Steve didn't expect this possibility. Lily reminded him that the other party might give him a bad check that could not be cashed for a long time, so he turned his eyes to Yakumo Zi: "In this case, then you Tell me what you want me to help you with, whether you want to do it, whether it’s worth it, and what price it will cost, and I’ll evaluate it.”

When Steve started to ask this question in a serious manner, the playful smile on Yakumo Zi's face became even wider.But that smile only bloomed for a while and then disappeared, replaced by a long time of calm, Steve was waiting for her to speak, and Yakumo Zi just picked up the tea bowl at hand and swayed gently.

The time passed quietly like this for about 1 minute.

When Yakumo Zi put down the tea bowl, she finally raised her head and said in a soft voice, "My request is actually very simple: help us survive."

Her words made Steve and Lily look at each other...

Before Steve could ask a question, Yakumo Zi slowly explained in a reminiscent tone: "Don't be surprised, maybe you will think that some of us are very powerful, but that's just the surviving individuals. The goblins are very weak, and in this place, there is almost no possibility of growing into a big goblin. You think we are breeding humans, but in fact, the opposite is true, the ones locked in cages are us goblins."

"You said that these people outside are all fake?" Steve smiled, obviously not believing this kind of 'victim' argument that muddies the water.

Regarding this, Yakumo Zi shook her head, and she asked back: "Do you think they are all here because they don't know their situation?"

"Isn't it?" Steve asked back.

Seeing his serious appearance, Yakumo Zi smiled: "I know you claim to be a human being, but you really don't look like a human being at all, so I thought it was just your role-playing game. Human cognition is really deep... Yes, no. Although when Gensokyo was first established, it was true that some people entered here by mistake and stayed here in the end. But now more people rely on Those who stay in this place with their own will, they know the existence outside, but they are already tired of life outside, lost the courage to live outside, and finally live in this fantasy with the most original and simple attitude, unwilling to leave .They are lost people who have been forgotten by this world just like us, except that they are human beings, and we are monsters, we must need each other, that's all."

... There will be such a person?

Steve could feel the excitement hidden in the other person's words and the sincerity they represented, but Steve still didn't quite believe that someone would give up human life and was willing to live like this.So he turned his head to ask Lily for confirmation, and the latter nodded in the affirmative.

"Okay... Then since you are mutually beneficial, why do you do such a thing? You have the responsibility to create a living environment for them, so why not live well?" Steve shook his shoulders.

"Of course not," Yakumo Zi shook her head, "If you knew that you would die slowly, would you just sit and wait for death?"

"No." Steve replied simply.

Yakumo Zi nodded: "That's right. Outside this Hakurei barrier, we are the existence rejected by the world. If a single monster wanders outside, it will disappear completely soon. So we must Creating things that allow the world to recognize us, in Gensokyo, this is called a mutation. The pre-set, Hakurei Miko admits and comes forward to solve this matter. But it is different outside, no matter how shocking it happens Panic things will be hidden in order to maintain social stability. Monsters lose the conditions to be recognized, and they begin to gradually disappear.”

"If you can't recognize it, you will die?" Steve blinked, this is the first time he's heard of such a thing, "Why do you have such a weird setting?"
