"Yakumo Yukari... you killed her, right?"
Hearing Xiangbei's words, Yakumo Hong's body trembled slightly.
"Yes."
"That Hakurei Reimu... you were the one who killed her, right?"
"……Yes."
"Do you know how important these two are to the monsters and gods within the Great Barrier?"
"……do not know."
The atmosphere gradually became oppressive, and there seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder wafting around.
Xiangbei ignored the repression and continued to speak to himself.
"Yakumo Yukari, the only realm youkai in the world, is also the youkai sage who commands all the youkai in Gensokyo. You can just understand her as the king of the youkai... Well, there's still a slight difference, but it's harmless."
"Hakurei Reimu, the Hakurei shrine maiden of Gensokyo, is the one who maintains the balance between humans and monsters. You can think of her as the law enforcer within the Great Barrier, specifically responsible for dealing with humans or monsters who don't follow the rules."
"So, I'm the one who doesn't follow the rules?" Yakumo Hong sneered.
"Because I killed Yakumo Yukari, and she is very important to you, and so is Hakurei Reimu... So, are you going to kill me too?"
As she spoke, Yakumo Hong slowly backed away, her heart beating faster and faster, and her adrenaline surging wildly.
She understood that the man in front of her would never let her go. He said so much just to make her feel guilty so that he could win over her morally.
It's ridiculous. I'm obviously the victim... I'm obviously an ordinary person. I don't want to hurt or kill anyone... Obviously, it's like this...
It’s all your fault...you forced me to do this!
Grievance, confusion, anger, hatred... turbulent negative emotions grow in my heart, and the overly excited emotions even make tears accumulate in my eyes.
Kill him! No matter how many times stronger he is than me, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of times I have to die, I must fight my way out!
"It's indeed very important to the monsters and gods in the Great Barrier." Xiangbei shrugged, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Ugh?
The surging emotions and tears in her eyes froze at this moment, and a trace of confusion flashed in Yakumo Hong's eyes.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with either Yakumo Yukari or Hakurei Reimu. Good thing that old lady Yakumo Yukari is dead. She's even tricked me twice before. As for Reimu, I'm only familiar with her reincarnation. As for this generation, she and I are just strangers."
Huh? You just said so much—
"Let me introduce myself." Xiang Bei said with a serious expression.
"My name is Xiangbei, and I traveled here from a hundred years in the future."
Ugh?
"And the reason I traveled back this time is for you, Yakumo Hong!"
Hey?
"However, some mistakes occurred during the time travel, causing the timeline you traveled to to deviate a bit. In the original timeline, you should have reconciled with Yakumo Yukari long ago and become like her daughter. Hakurei Reimu and Fujiwara no Moeko were also your good friends."
ha?
"Of course, none of this is important right now. What's important is, Yakumo Hong, are you willing to follow me... hm?"
Seeing Yakumo Hong's face turn from excitement to dullness, like a living emoticon package, Xiangbei stretched out his hand and waved in front of Yakumo Hong.
"Hello, hello? What's wrong? Is the CPU burning out from all the processing?"
"No, this..."
The huge amount of information bombardment made Yakumo Hong unable to handle it for a while, and she stood there at a loss.
"I, I can't react...what you said..."
"Well, that's true. It's really hard for your little brain to digest so much information at once." Xiangbei nodded, and looked at the villagers around who gathered here because of the noise and wanted to check the situation.
"Then come with me. The house here is burned down. I will find you a new place to live."
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 203: Dress-up Play~
Sometimes Xiangbei forgets his own abilities.
After all, he has too many abilities, and he would forget some of the less useful abilities, such as the technique that can generate a propeller on the top of his head to fly and attack, and the technique that can grow a scorpion tail behind the corpse to sting people.
However, after the battle with Huo, during the time he spent training in hell, he re-mastered all the abilities he had mastered.
So now, he can use a technique he has mastered to solve the current accommodation problem.
"Let's sign the elephant again."
A blue flame of mana ignited on the receipt in his hand, and it was set on fire. Then, a two-story villa fell from the sky and landed heavily in the open space of the Magic Forest, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Looking at the building in front of him that theoretically shouldn't appear in front of him, Yakumo Hong couldn't help but be distracted.
Taking advantage of Yakumo Hong's daze, Xiangbei set up two layers of barriers around the villa. One layer was used to prevent wild beasts, monsters, etc. from approaching, and the other layer was used to block the miasma in the magic forest.
After taking Yakumo Hong away from the first generation human village, Xiangbei came to the magical forest with her.
The magic forest of this era is more dangerous than the magic forest of the future era. There are many monsters and demons living here, and the concentration of miasma is relatively high.
It may be that Gensokyo has not yet been fully established, so there are many monsters and beasts living here. It may also be that the battle between Yakumo Kurenai and the Dragon God in the original timeline drastically changed the ecology of the Magic Forest, leading to the changes.
When I walked into the villa, I found it was empty. There were basically no household items, such as a TV, sofa, refrigerator, or bed. It could be said that there was nothing at all.
He used the construction technique to construct a set of clothes and threw it to Yakumo Hong who had just walked into the room.
"It's a bit strange to talk with only a piece of cloth on. Why don't you put this on first?"
Yakumo Hong was stunned, but nodded, found a room, went in, and started changing clothes.
While Yakumo Hong was changing clothes, Xiangbei had a pile of receipts in his hand. After lighting them, he summoned sofas, televisions, refrigerators and other daily necessities, adding various furniture to the empty room.
Re-Kei Xiang, a technique mastered by a man named Reggie in the Death and Annihilation Journey, uses the receipt generated after trading items as a "sacrifice" to activate the technique. By igniting the receipt with mana, these traded items can be summoned in the form of summoning shikigami.
From flower pots and kitchen knives to cars and villas, all can be summoned. Because they are Shikigami, they will disappear after the user operates them once. However, on the other hand, as long as no orders are given, these items will exist permanently.
Because he had never thought of this practical technique before, he spent some time looking for a house and making furniture. By the time he realized that there was such a practical technique, the basic furniture had been almost worn out by him and he was not willing to move to another house.
If a receipt can summon even a second villa like this, then can magical items like Gungnir or Levatin be summoned as well?
When all the furniture in the room was almost arranged, Yakumo Hong had already changed her clothes.
"Mmmm..."
Yakumo's cheeks turned slightly red, and she walked out of the room with her arms around her chest.
"What kind of clothes did you give me? You're so shameless..."
Could it be that the reason this guy didn't kill me was because he was attracted by my beauty, so now that his plan has succeeded, he wants to play dress-up?
"I always feel that you are thinking about something bad..." Looking at Yakumo's red cheeks, Xiangbei felt a little confused.
"And isn't this dress very ordinary?"
"How can it be ordinary?"
Yakumo Hong raised her arm and pointed at herself, exposing her armpit.
"This is a shrine maiden costume, right? But why are the armpits exposed?"
"Huh? Aren't all shrine maiden costumes like this?"
"No!" Yakumo Hong was a little crazy.
Originally, Xiangbei wanted to make a red Taoist robe for Yakumo Hong, the same style as Yakumo Yukari, but he was not very clear about the structure of Yakumo Yukari's clothes, so he simply used a shrine maiden's costume.
And this is exactly related to what we are going to do next.
"If you think it's too revealing... then this is for you, put it on."
Xiangbei constructed another shawl and handed it over, and Yakumo Hong naturally took it without thinking.
"I remember..." asked the evil spirit in the spiritual world, "Is that Alice's shawl?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Just like that, Yakumo Hong, wearing an armpit-baring shrine maiden costume and the Margot Lloyd family's special shawl, sat on the sofa, facing Xiangbei.
At this time, several cursed spirits came out from the corner and poured tea for the two of them.
“Is black tea the only option?”
"It doesn't matter...compared to this." Compared to the clothes on her body that Yakumo Hong thought were erotic, there were more important things that needed to be confirmed.
"You said before that you traveled from the future... something like that. What on earth is going on?"
"Oh, these." Xiangbei took a sip of black tea and said, "Let me sort them out."
After thinking it over again and again, Xiangbei decided to tell Yakumo Hong everything.
Including the fact that they traveled from another timeline, the Gensokyo in another timeline, the Yakumo Kurenai in another timeline... basically everything was revealed and told to the Yakumo Kurenai in this timeline.
Yakumo Hong's expression also changed from shock and disbelief at the beginning to gradual acceptance and understanding now.
No matter how hard she thought, she would never have imagined that the fate and events of the two worlds were so different.
If you ask what the biggest difference is between the two worlds, it is naturally the difference between Yakumo Hong.
"You're saying that the me in your world not only forgave Yakumo Yukari, who had killed me dozens of times, but also became friends with many monsters who had killed me. In the end, I even gave my life to build Gensokyo and challenge the Dragon God... But then, after finally being resurrected, the me in that world was betrayed by Yakumo Yukari and had to give my life for Gensokyo once again?"
"Well, that's about right."
Yakumo Hong felt that she couldn't understand. Although it sounded a bit unpleasant, in her opinion, her self in the other world was simply mentally ill.
If it were her, even if she could be resurrected, she would never let go of those who killed her for a laugh and inflicted so much harm and pain on her at will, let alone become friends with them?
"But it's probably because of this reason that Yakumo Kurenai in our world is so popular with monsters."
As if he could see what Yakumo Hong was thinking, Xiangbei continued speaking.
"But I'm not saying the path you've chosen is wrong. No one would forgive someone who has killed them dozens of times. It's normal to be forced to kill someone in return. Yakumo Kurenai in our world is clearly a special case."
"Oh, I think I understand."
Yakumo Hong looked around. Although she still had many doubts in her heart, she decided to believe Xiangbei's words.
"So what are you going to do next? Or rather, what are you going to... have me do?"
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 204: Girl, Come and Become...
What are you going to do?
Xiangbei told Yakumo Hong most of the things, such as the disaster in his body, and that his goal was to resurrect Yakumo Hong, so he traveled back specifically to obtain a part of her system as a medium to resurrect Yakumo Hong in his world.
Of course, he also concealed some things, such as the fact that he didn't even tell Huo about his system, and the fact that the souls of Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu, who were killed by Yakumo Beni, were both in his body.
"In other words...you have something to ask of me, right?"
Yes, in order to revive Yakumo Kurenai from their world, they need to use the power of Yakumo Kurenai from other worlds.
"Oh, that's about right." Xiangbei spread his hands.
"If this time travel hadn't gone wrong, given our world's Yakumo Kurenai's personality, she would probably have easily agreed to our request. With a simple favor, which wouldn't be difficult for me, I could have easily retrieved the Law Fragment... That was my original plan."
Then, the shadow at Xiangbei's feet revealed a part of the time machine rocket, the damaged part, and showed it to Yakumo Hong.
"But now you see, the time machine has inexplicably malfunctioned. Not only have we entered this strange timeline, but it's unclear whether we can safely return on this machine. Furthermore, your Yakumo Kurenai's personality is clearly different from the Kurenai of our world... It's probably going to be difficult to get you to agree to our request."
"Of course." Yakumo Hong nodded.
After Xiangbei's previous explanation, Yakumo Hong also understood that the system in her body was the product of the condensation of some forces called laws.
"My system... I mean, the power of the laws within me is the basis for my survival in this world. If anything were to happen to it, I would definitely not be able to survive."
"But I don't believe what you're saying. If you're only extracting some parts and it won't affect my system... my laws... it's a matter of whether I can survive normally in the future. So even if you helped me fight off that Fujiwara Mokou before, I still can't believe you."
"Sorry." Yakumo Hong bowed her head and apologized to Xiangbei.
"It's okay. I understand your situation." Xiangbei waved his hand to show his understanding.
I didn't expect that Yakumo Hong in this timeline is surprisingly polite... Well, although it is a massacre line, the current situation has not reached an irreversible point. Although the author once said that Yakumo Hong in the later stage of the massacre line will hurt many innocent people, but at this point in time, Yakumo Hong, all she did was just forced to fight back in order to protect herself.
Apart from these forced actions, Yakumo Hong is still a very kind and polite guy, Xiangbei thought.
