"Huh? I feel like you've summarized something very important... Never mind."

After a brief shock, Yakumo Hong quickly regained her composure. The Yakumo Yukari in front of her was obviously different from the one from yesterday in terms of appearance and tone, but more importantly, the system information above her head was different.

If appearance and aura can be faked, then her system will definitely not lie to her.

I just didn't expect that Xiangbei's promise yesterday that he would solve the problem...was this the solution?!

Looking at Xiangbei... uh, Yakumo Yukari... Bei... Forget it, it's still Xiangbei... Looking at the sutures on Xiangbei's forehead, Yakumo Hong inexplicably remembered what he said to her yesterday.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a qualified EVA pilot!"

Is that what you mean?!

"Forget it, I understand this... I won't pursue the question of why you were able to become Yakumo Yukari's appearance, but I want to ask you something." Yakumo Hong pointed at Fujiwara Moeko, who was wearing a maid outfit and had a well-behaved face.

"Did you convince this guy?"

"Ah, after my teachings all night." Xiangbei patted Meihong's shoulder affectionately, and Meihong's whole body trembled obviously.

"She has realized that you are not the Kaguya-hime on the moon, and has reflected deeply on herself. She is willing to serve as your maid and bodyguard as compensation... Well, you can also have her sign a bond to guarantee it. I can give you the entire contract document."

"Oh, please give me a whole one."

It would be nice to have a thug to protect her, someone with decent strength. Even though she didn't have a good impression of Fujiwara no Moeko, Yakumo Hong still agreed to Xiangbei's proposal... It would be a waste not to take a free bodyguard.

After signing the contract, Xiangbei finished eating the apple in a few bites and said.

"Okay, now is not the time to chat, there is still a lot to do."

Although the news of Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu's deaths was not spread, if nothing was done, it would definitely cause various problems.

It doesn't matter if the elusive monster Yakumo Yukari is missing for a few days, but no one has given any warning that Hakurei Reimu has not returned home at night... I guess the two people in her shrine are now ready to set out to look for her.

This is not okay.

"I have to be the villain for once... There's nothing I can do about it."

A gap was created, and Xiangbei dived in. Before leaving, he said to Meihong.

"Protect her and don't let anything happen to her. And Yakumo Kurenai, you must also be prepared. In no more than three days, or even one day at the earliest, you will have to accept the inheritance of the Hakurei Miko... In short, be prepared."

After saying that, Xiangbei closed the gap and left the room.

"..."

Looking at the somewhat empty house, Yakumo Hong felt a little confused.

Although her safety was guaranteed and she didn't need to worry about being killed again, she was asked to prepare...how should she prepare? Should she go out and kill monsters to level up?

Yakumo Hong was in hesitation.

……

……

On the other side, Hakurei Shrine.

When Xiangbei came out of the gap and arrived here, he saw a big green turtle with a beard, talking to a Yin-Yang jade that was rotating around it with an anxious look on its face.

Seeing him coming, the big turtle flew over impatiently.

"Zi! Do you know what Reimu is like... um, what kind of image are you putting on?"

As mentioned earlier, since Yakumo Yukari's clothes were a bit complicated, Xiangbei constructed a set of clothes that suited his taste and tied a ponytail, making the image very different from the original Yakumo Yukari.

"I should change my image occasionally. After all, I am a beautiful 17-year-old girl as pretty as a flower..." Xiangbei said coquettishly, imitating Yakumo Yukari's tone.

"Huh..." Before the two listeners outside could react, the disaster was already unbearable.

"What plane are you working on?"

The Yin-Yang Jade looked towards Xiangbei... Although it didn't seem to have eyes, it was indeed looking.

"Did you take some wrong medicine... Never mind, it doesn't matter. Do you know where Reimeng went? Yesterday she kept saying, 'Something happened to Zi!' and she hasn't come back yet."

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 209: The Great Deception ()

"Well..."

He took out a folding fan from the gap, opened it, covered his cheeks, and fell into thought.

It has to be said that he finally understood why Yakumo Yukari always liked to open her folding fan to cover her face. By doing so, she could prevent others from seeing her face clearly, thus avoiding the discovery of her thoughtful expression.

After the founding of the Peoples' Republic of China, all citizens of the Republic of China were rewarded with the donation of RMB 200 million to support the cause of the country.

However, there are still some problems... After all, the old saying goes, "The old saying is too complicated, the old saying is too complicated, the old saying is too complicated, and the old saying is too complicated."

Although Xiangbei inherited his ability, he did not inherit his spiritual power. Instead, he inherited the spiritual power of Xiangbei.

There is a high probability that something bad will happen, and even worse, a phenomenon similar to counter-possession may occur.

Therefore, Xiangbei made a restraint on top of it - with his ability, he would not need to add sutures on his head after changing his body. The one he added now would serve as a restraint so that he could better receive Yakumo Yukari's memories.

Xiangbei can now control it like a computer. If he needs any memory, he can query the Yakumo purple-branded computer, and then the information he needs will pop up on the computer for Xiangbei to query.

However, it takes some time to digest all the required memories, and it is not as easy to imitate the person whose body has been taken over as those who have been reborn into another body. Overall, one has to rely on one's acting skills to disguise oneself.

However, these are not difficult things.

Looking at the Yin-Yang Jade floating in front of him, Xiangbei sighed deeply, with a sad look in his eyes.

"Reimu...she...is dead."

"W-what?!"

The sudden accident made Master Xuan's eyes go black, and he almost fell directly to the ground from the air. On the other side, the Yin-Yang Jade was in a better condition than Master Xuan, but not much better. He was seen asking Yakumo Yukari anxiously (although it was not obvious).

"How is this possible? Reimu...how could she possibly die? She's the Hakurei Miko of the Great Barrier. How could she die like this?"

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious..." Xiangbei stretched out his hand to calm the Yin-Yang Jade down, and sighed again.

"You should be able to sense it, right? As the bridge between Hakurei's power and the miko, you should be able to sense that the connection between you and Reimu has completely dissipated... You should know the outcome."

"I understand... I, I... I understand!"

Although the Yin-Yang Jade was just a ball, it could be heard from his collapsed voice that he really couldn't accept this result.

In fact, the Yin-Yang Jade had already sensed it when Hakurei Reimu died, but he was still hoping for the best, thinking that Hakurei Reimu had just encountered some sudden changes, which prevented him from contacting her... But when the truth was placed in front of him, the Yin-Yang Jade could no longer deceive itself with lies, and could only smash to the ground in pain, creating one hole after another in the ground.

Well, although it may be a bit rude and inappropriate to say this...but seeing a floating ball here bouncing and hitting the ground is still a pretty cool scene.

At this time, Master Xuan slowly floated up from the ground again, and his voice sounded a little older.

"Then Zi, do you know who it is, who killed Reimu?"

"...It's Onmyoji." Xiangbei paused, then answered.

"It was those Onmyoji from the outside world. They broke into the barrier. After I discovered them, I started fighting them... Turns out, not only were they stronger than I imagined, they also carried weapons that could restrain me."

"If it weren't for the power of my realm and Ling Meng's timely arrival, I'm afraid I would have died there... You could say that Ling Meng sacrificed himself to save me."

"This is all my fault!"

Xiangbei showed deep remorse, and his eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, lifting the hair on Xiangbei's forehead, revealing the sutures of the wound.

Seeing this, Master Xuan and Yin Yang Yu were both stunned.

"Zi, the wound on your head..."

"Yes." Xiangbei nodded: "This wound was caused by those Yin Yang Masters. I almost died."

"I see." Master Xuan nodded slowly. "To have been able to inflict such severe injuries on you, those Yin Yang Masters are truly formidable... Alas, we are lucky, at least Zi, you didn't die from this."

Seeing that the two did not doubt his words, and that the wound on his forehead did not make them suspicious, Xiangbei understood - it was stable.

"You really lie without thinking."

In the spiritual world, he watched quietly as Xiang Bei fooled Master Xuan and the Yin-Yang Jade, and couldn't help but complain.

"I don't know if it's my imagination, but you seem super skilled."

"To be honest," Xiangbei responded, "I've been lying since elementary school, and I've been lying ever since. In theory, I'm half a master of lying."

"Ah this."

Huo began to wonder if he had been fooled by Xiangbei before.

On the other side, Hakurei Reimu's face was not looking good either. She could also see the situation outside through Xiangbei's vision. When she knew that Xuan Ye and Yin Yang Yu were sad about her death, she also felt sad. Seeing that they were all deceived by Xiangbei's lies, she also felt angry, but she was powerless.

"Maybe this is retribution." Hakurei Reimu sighed.

After communicating with Rika and Huo, she probably understood the cause and effect.

Yakumo Hong was an innocent girl, and she understood...or rather, she had a vague sense of it when they attacked her.

But even if she was given another choice, after learning that Yakumo Yukari was killed by Yakumo Hong, she would probably still choose to kill Yakumo Hong.

It was purely to avenge Zi and vent his anger. There was nothing wrong with this behavior. It was more like this was the choice most people would make...even if the girl was innocent and she was the real victim.

...Perhaps, I had indeed done something wrong? If I had acted differently then... If I had chosen to forgive the girl...

But is that right? Even if the girl is indeed an innocent victim, she still has sympathy for her, but for that reason she has to forgive the murderer who killed her friend...

Whether he chose to forgive the girl or kill her, the final result would probably not be accepted by Reimu... I'm afraid that from the very beginning, when Yakumo Yukari chose to attack the girl and made the girl completely hate Yakumo Yukari, this story was destined to have no good ending...

"Don't worry." When Ling Meng looked up, he saw Xiangbei standing in front of him.

"What?"

"I said, don't worry."

As if he had heard Hakurei Reimu's thoughts, Xiangbei gave her a thumbs up.

"Don't look at me like this, I really want the story to have a happy ending."

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 210: Happy ending?

Despite being a genocide storyline, neither Yakumo Yukari nor Hakurei Reimu escaped Yakumo Kurenai's murderous clutches. The crime was already committed. Returning to that timeline and restoring Yakumo Kurenai's original appearance and ending seems impossible... but that doesn't mean it's impossible to create a happy ending for this Gensokyo.

Although Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu were killed by Yakumo Beni, they were not completely dead because their souls were still retained.

Although this state is basically equivalent to death, one needs to be extradited by the god of death and judged by the King of Hell to be reincarnated. This is the rule of heaven and earth. However, rules are meant to be broken.

Remember the conditions for resurrecting Yakumo Kurenai in Xiangbei's own world? One of them was to create a new body for Yakumo Kurenai and place her soul into it to allow her to be resurrected.

Because of her own system and other related factors, Yakumo Hong also needs energy, law parts and the like, but Zi and Reimu do not have such conditions.

Theoretically, if Xiangbei does what he does, preserving the souls of two people and transferring them into their bodies, he can indeed achieve [resurrection]... There is an example of this. Yakumo Hong's resurrection was done in this way. The system created a body and preserved the soul. After her death, her soul would be transferred to the newly created body, achieving the so-called resurrection.

Based on this inference, Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu can be resurrected by him.

And if his plan goes smoothly and he succeeds in making Yakumo Kurenai a Hakurei shrine maiden, then he will be successfully resurrected. Hakurei Reimu, who originally had to sacrifice her own life to create the Hakurei Great Barrier, will probably not have any objections to the girl.

If Gensokyo is successfully established, Yakumo Yukari will have no objection, and Xiangbei will definitely be able to do better than her by relying on his own means.

All that remains is to continue to deepen Yakumo Hong's attachment to Gensokyo and make her feel that living in Gensokyo is happy enough.

If you can do these things, the so-called happy ending does not seem impossible to achieve.

Of course, it is too early to resurrect them now, and repairing Yakumo Yukari's soul also requires some preparation.

Pulling his thoughts away from the spiritual world, Xiangbei looked at the turtle and jade in front of him and said.

"So, before the new Hakurei shrine maiden arrives, please keep quiet for now. This will definitely cause chaos among the monsters."

"Well, we understand." Master Xuan nodded.

"Has the new Hakurei Miko been chosen?"

"That's right." Xiangbei replied.

"Soon, I will let her inherit Hakurei's power and become the new Hakurei shrine maiden. Then..."

"Will you tell the monsters about Reimu's death?" asked Yin Yang Jade.

"No." Xiangbei said expressionlessly, "I will tell the monsters that Hakurei Reimu is not qualified enough to be a Hakurei shrine maiden, so I will replace her and let a new Hakurei shrine maiden take the position."
