Go back a few minutes.
"Lumiya, let's negotiate a deal."
"Conditions?" Rumia was stunned when she heard Xiangbei's words and asked subconsciously.
"What conditions?"
"How about you admit defeat and surrender, and then let me seal you?"
"not so good!"
Rumia shouted, her expression extremely ferocious.
"No matter how many times you say it, I only have one condition - unless Yakumo Yukari comes out to see me! Otherwise, I will never give in!"
"Hey, why are you yelling so loudly?" Xiangbei said.
"I am your ally. I am on your side."
"What?" Rumia was a little confused.
"I mean, I actually like Yakumo Hong too. I'm also a member of the Red Poison Alliance!"
"What did you say?" Rumia cried out.
"Yeah, actually we are in the same group..."
"You said you like Yakumo Kurenai?!"
“…”Is this the point?
However, if the condition was not that he liked Yakumo Hong, he would not be able to continue with the next words, so Xiangbei kept his normal expression and continued to fool people.
"Of course, I like Yakumo Hong. Or rather, don't you like her too? If you didn't like her, how could you do such an unwise thing?"
"Gu!" Even Rumia couldn't help blushing when she heard that.
"Then why did you stop me? If you still remember Xiaohong, then you should also know..." When she said this, Rumia's expression became gritted teeth.
"Xiaohong was killed by Yakumo Yukari!"
"I know, and I understand what you are thinking. It's not wrong to want to avenge Xiaohong." Xiangbei nodded in understanding.
"But your actions are very unwise! Do you think you can deal with Yakumo Yukari with just this little trick?"
"No, you can't. To deal with Yakumo Yukari, you must first defeat your own machine... Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Sakuya Izayoi, Sanae Tofudani, and Youmu Konpaku. Only after you defeat them first will you be qualified to challenge Yakumo Yukari."
"But even if you did, you can't even beat me, so how do you think you can deal with Yakumo Yukari?"
"Rather, even if you can really deal with Yakumo Yukari, behind her, the Dragon God who is responsible for maintaining the stability of Gensokyo is also the culprit who killed Xiaohong in the end...how are you going to deal with her?"
Every word was piercing and hit the nail on the head. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over Rumia's fiery heart. Overwhelmed by hatred, she began to think about Xiangbei's words and felt that what he said... seemed to make sense.
Yes, although Op has greatly increased her strength, making her feel that she is more powerful than Yakumo Yukari... this may be the case, but it is meaningless, because the prerequisite for truly defeating Yakumo Yukari is not to have a power stronger than Yakumo Yukari, but to have a power greater than the entire Gensokyo!
After all, as a monster sage, if something really happens to her, Hakurei's shrine maidens, some big monsters and other sages of Gensokyo will not sit idly by... and Yakumo Yukari, who has the ability of gaps, is almost impossible to catch. As long as she wants to escape, even the Dragon God cannot easily stop her.
"Let me make this clear. I came here to stop you because I simply thought you were going to cause a mutation. Now I've changed my mind."
Xiangbei stretched out his hand towards Rumia with an extremely sincere expression.
"Join forces with me, Lumia."
"Let's charge into the Lost House together and catch that Yakumo Yukari and give her a good beating!"
"Oh, oh..." Rumia's heart was moved.
"But how can I believe you? Just based on your words?"
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do, because I can't produce any evidence. I can only ask you to believe my words as much as possible."
He pointed to the north at Moxu Luo who was beside Rumya.
"But if I really want to prove it... you're no match for me now. Even if you have Moxu Luo's protection, I've taken all your gems. Theoretically, I can pin you down right now. You should be able to judge this difference in strength."
"And I didn't do that. Doesn't that prove that we are in the same group?"
"What you said...makes sense."
Rumia hesitated for a moment, but she nodded, her tense expression gradually relaxing.
"Then... I'll believe you. You really have no reason to lie to me."
"I will take the darkness back. Or rather, after you took the jade away, I lost the ability to maintain that darkness. After a while, the black fog will dissipate on its own. Don't worry."
"I know." Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiang Bei spoke out his true thoughts.
"But there is still a problem."
"Huh?" Lumia asked in confusion.
"We made such a big noise, someone will definitely come over later, maybe Hakurei Miko or Yakumo Yukari."
"But if news about you leaks out, that is, news about Yakumo Kurenai leaks out...given your willingness to cause changes in Gensokyo for Kurenai's sake, do you think Yakumo Yukari or the Dragon God will try to seal your memory again?"
"That's right." Lumia was shocked and asked quickly, "Then what should we do?"
Xiangbei smiled slightly and took out a cube covered with talismans.
"Just let us physically seal you first."
Volume 1: First Entry into Fantasy: Chapter 57: Ending and Promise
The system's task is to defeat/kill/seal/exile Rumia, and destroy/seal/plunder/exile the item gem she holds - Op.
Op has already been sealed or plundered by him, but if he wants to deal with Rumia, the above conditions will be difficult to achieve, at least not in a short time.
After all, even without Op, Rumia's HP had been beaten down by Xiangbei, but she almost used the darkness in Op during the battle, and rarely used her own darkness. Her MP was still plenty, and with the tough Moxu Luo around, it was impossible to take her down in a short time.
So Xiangbei thought of a way. He tried to rely on his understanding of Yakumo Hong and use words to calm Rumia down, make her believe in him, and voluntarily let him seal her, so as to complete the system's task.
"seal?"
Lumia frowned and asked in confusion.
"Why? Is this necessary?"
"After we made such a big commotion, do you think other people in Gensokyo wouldn't notice? If it were just me, it might be okay. At most, others would think that Gensokyo has a new, grumpy, and somewhat powerful human."
"But you're different. With your past memories, if your presence is discovered and you're noticed, nothing good will happen."
Xiangbei pointed to the prison gate in his hand and said, "Although I said I would seal you, this is also a form of protection. This seal is very special. It can hide your aura and your entire body. This will greatly reduce the possibility of Yakumo Yukari or the Dragon God finding your whereabouts."
"And I can remove its seal at will. You don't have to worry about being sealed in and unable to get out. After a period of time, I will let you out."
"Really?" Rumia nodded slightly, but still a little hesitant.
"I understand your inner hesitation, but time waits for no one." He looked north into the distance.
"If we keep delaying like this, Reimu and Marisa will probably come over..."
"Okay, I promise you." Rumia finally agreed to Xiangbei's request. She raised her hand, and Moxu Luo beside her turned into a shadow and merged into the shadow under her feet.
"However, to prevent you from breaking your promise, I will be in charge of your Shikigami while I am sealed. If I die or encounter an unexpected situation, your Shikigami will not have a good end!"
"It's okay, don't worry." Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief. He finally managed to fool this guy (⑩).
Finally, with Xiangbei's unremitting efforts, Rumia finally agreed to his request. After staying in front of the liberated prison gate for ten seconds, she was sealed inside.
However, at the very end, some unusual situations occurred... Yumenjiang sealed Rumya inside, but was unable to fully process Rumya's information, so it became a heavy object and fell to the ground just like in the original book.
At this moment, Reimu and Marisa had already arrived above the Magic Forest. Xiangbei had no choice but to stuff the Prison Gate directly into his own shadow, bearing the huge weight of the Prison Gate, and followed behind the two of them back towards the shrine.
Although this battle started off well but ended badly, and the final outcome was not very good...but it's over, not to mention that Xiangbei also successfully completed the system's task.
[Side Quest: Complete the Dragon Jade]
【mission rewards:
[Increase the total amount of cursed power of a special-grade sorcerer (Otsutsuki template)]
[Obtained items: Special Grade Spell Tool - Clapper, Special Grade Spell Tool - Dump Truck, Special Grade Spell Tool - That Gun]
[Random System Item: Item Fusion Card]
Well, the total amount of cursed energy has directly increased by 50%, no need to poke.
Hmm, another special-grade cursed tool with an incomprehensible name.
Well, what the hell is this system reward that doesn’t fit the style of the Curse Return system?
By the way, I've defeated Lumia, right? What's the system's reward?
[Defeat the dark monster Rumia in the Shou... Victory Suit and receive the system reward: Nature's Gift]
You wanted to say shroud, didn't you? You wanted to say shroud, didn't you?
Xiangbei complained loudly in his heart, but apart from Jue Youkai, he was probably the only one who could hear it.
"Ah, I'll go back and change my clothes. You guys go first."
When fighting with Rumia, he took off his yukata and left it at home. Wearing this shroud... well, it's not good to go to the shrine in the victory suit, so after saying hello to Xiangbei, he returned home as Cang.
"Hey……"
Marisa wanted to call out to Xiangbei, but unfortunately he didn't hear her and teleported away.
"Send us to the shrine first and then go back, da☆ze." Marisa pulled her hat, looking somewhat helpless.
"It's almost time. If we fly back like this, we probably won't make it in time."
Reimu thought for a moment and placed his hands on Marisa's body. The next moment, the space changed, and the two of them appeared at the edge of the Magic Forest. After several more changes, the two of them came to the sky above the people, appeared on the Beast Path, and finally returned to the Hakurei Shrine.
"Okay, here we are. Everything is done."
Clapping her hands, Reimu yawned again. It looked like she was very sleepy today. "Just wait for Xiangbei to get here."
"Your ability is so convenient." Marisa said with some envy.
"Are you envious? But don't expect me to teach you. I'm a person of intuition."
"Who wants you to teach me, da☆ze!"
On the other side, Xiangbei returned home, changed out of his Shou...decision suit, changed back into a yukata, washed his face, then walked out the door and returned to the shrine with Cang.
At present, he has no intention of looking at the specific effects of these prop rewards. It is better to wait until today's summer festival is completely over and then return home to study them in detail.
He did not keep the Prison Gate at home. Xiangbei was a little worried that it would be noticed by some peeping Tom and taken away, so he carried it with him in the shadow... As for the weight of the Prison Gate, with Tian and Tyrant's physical fitness, coupled with the enhanced curse power, it was not a big deal overall.
As Xiangbei just returned to the shrine, several fireworks rose up, and the sky above the distant human world suddenly became as bright as day. Fireworks of various colors flashed at the same time, illuminating the faces of everyone who was watching the fireworks.
"Oh! So beautiful!"
Ai Ge, who was awakened by the aftermath of the previous battle between Rumia and Xiangbei, was no longer sleepy. After seeing the beautiful fireworks blooming, she couldn't help but secretly look at the people behind her.
The horned girl drinking with Kamiki, Kaguya bickering with Meihong, the pink-haired woman devouring her food, the white-haired girl sitting with Suzusen with a mochi-like figure floating beside her, the ice spirit and the green-haired fairy holding hands, two vampire sisters with identical features but different hair colors, Sakuya talking with Yumeko, the figure with a ribbon holding Tenko's arm, Marisa sitting on Rinnosuke's lap, Reimu drinking tea with the woman in a red and white kimono...
There were many people that Ai Ge didn't know. At this time, he found that Xiang Bei came behind him and looked at him.
"How is it?" Xiangbei asked.
"Did you have fun at the summer festival?"
"Yeah! Very happy!" Aige nodded vigorously.
"I will never forget this day!"
"Just have fun." Xiangbei nodded and looked at the fireworks blooming in the distance.
But on Xiangbei's face, Aige saw a complex emotion.
"Hey, Xiangbei." Aige walked over and pulled the corner of Xiangbei's clothes.
"So, did you have fun today?"
"Huh? Me?" Xiangbei looked at Aige in surprise. Seeing her worried expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm quite happy. After all, I have Ai Ge here."
Looking at Xiangbei's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. Ai Ge's frown gradually relaxed and she smiled.
"Let's go to the summer festival together next year. It will definitely be more fun than this year!"
"Well, I can't tell... well." He rubbed Aige's head.
"Okay, let's go shopping together again next year."
