"Hmm...huh?"
Volume 1: First Entry into Fantasy: Chapter 60: I Set Up a Shady Scheme (Really)
When he woke up, Xiangbei felt some soreness in his body that he hadn't felt for a long time.
He had clearly stuffed so many spell tools, various books, small props, and various sundries into the shadow before without any problem. Sure enough, the unfinished prison gate was still too heavy.
But I've been analyzing it all night and it's not finished yet. Does that mean it will take another three or four days?
Glancing out the window, it was just dawn.
I looked at the alarm clock again, 5:52.
Well, the sleep quality is also very poor.
Using Wuwei Transformation, he healed his body to perfect condition again, summoned back the cursed spirit that was on night watch to the north, and released the cursed spirit that was making breakfast and cleaning.
After washing up and having breakfast, Xiangbei came into the room, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to make a small plan for his future on the spot.
Yakumo Hong has appeared, but it doesn’t mean that only Yakumo Hong will appear in the future. Maybe there will be Yakumo Mo, Yakumo Shiro and others who will appear.
In order to deal with these emergencies, it is necessary to investigate sufficient intelligence information and make some preparations.
We also need to continuously enhance our strength and have enough strength to deal with those emergencies.
Because these are all long-term goals, Xiangbei doesn't actually feel much sense of urgency, but he doesn't want to delay any longer on things that can be done now.
First of all, there is the issue of intelligence, which is mainly about information about Yakumo Hong and whether there is information about other novels in this world.
However, Xiangbei speculated that in fact this world only had two worlds: the world of Gensokyo players and the world of the little gods of Gensokyo. After all, he had stayed in Gensokyo for a while, had been to most places, and had inquired about various news, except for special existences like Yakumo Hong whose information memory was almost completely blocked. Otherwise, even if there really was another fictional world stitched in, he should have noticed it.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Maybe there is a third fan world stitched in, but it is also possible that the plot world has not yet happened. However, we can only keep an eye on it.
Then we need to collect information about Yakumo Hong... It is probably impossible to find written information, and no clues about Yakumo Hong's deeds were found in the Qiuwen History.
So we have to get information from people. Although the memories of all the people in Gensokyo have been sealed by Yakumo Yukari and the Dragon God, there are still some people who have slipped through the net and still retain their previous memories.
For example, Ibuki Suika, Kazami Yuuka, and Saeki Rin.
Ibuki Suika has the ability to control density and sparseness, and can also control the density and sparseness of memory, thereby controlling other people's memories. She can also control her own memory. In the extra chapter, she also recovers her memory.
As for Yuuka Kazami... it seems that her memory was not sealed because she was too strong. I'm not sure about Rin Saeki. Is it because she was too young and they thought she wouldn't remember anything that she was not sealed?
And Ibuki Suika is too elusive, so the only place where information can be collected is probably the sunflower field.
……
I always feel like something is not right.
Yakumo Yukari has been fighting with Ibuki Suika for so long, it is impossible for her not to be aware that Suika's ability may involve memory manipulation.
Hua Ma is very strong, that’s for sure, but in both novels, her strength is equivalent to that of the monster sage Yakumo Yukari... but they cannot compare with the Dragon God.
Besides, almost all the people in Gensokyo have lost their memories, even the guys in Eternal Pavilion have their memories sealed, so why are these two guys completely fine?
Xiangbei didn't really want to discuss combat power or beast fighting, but he did think that people like Yakumo Yukari, Kazami Yuuka, and Yagi Eirin were all strong people of the same level. They might be involved in different aspects, but their strength should be similar and evenly matched.
But in the original novel, Suixiang was fine, Hanama was fine, but everyone in Eien-tei had lost all their memories of Yakumo Kou... and they didn't even notice it.
This is unreasonable!
Of course, it's also possible that the Dragon God did it on purpose, deliberately preserving the memories of Suixiang and Youxiang. After all, there's no need to be so ruthless, and they won't spread the news about Yakumo Hong everywhere or directly attack Yakumo Yukari and the Dragon God's home...
Um, most likely, this is the reason?
Tapping his head, Xiangbei felt that he had been too nervous these past two days and was suffering from paranoia. Everything he saw seemed wrong.
But for some reason, Xiangbei's inner sense of uneasiness doubled and lingered. He always felt like there was a huge rock pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He always felt that there was something fishy going on in this matter.
Strange thing, Xiangbei pondered, is there any more appropriate and reassuring way...
Ok……
It seems like, maybe... maybe there really is one? It's a good idea.
But there are also risks. If he does this, he will be noticed by the monster sage. If possible, Xiangbei wants to avoid this situation at all costs.
No, even if you don't do that, there will still be risks. Assuming that there is no conspiracy on Yakumo Yukari's side, then it doesn't matter if you just hang around her. If there really is a conspiracy, even if you try to avoid the monster sage, you will definitely be found one day.
Assuming that there is indeed a so-called "dark deal", then his option can be considered the right one. Rather than passively waiting for possible bad events to happen, it is better to take the initiative.
After making up his mind, Xiangbei packed up the things at home... It seemed that there was nothing to pack. The weapons and props were all on him. There were only some ordinary daily necessities and household spells in the house.
The originally ordinary future plan suddenly turned into such an inexplicable place, which made Xiangbei feel helpless. After tidying himself up, he walked out of the room and teleported towards the magic forest.
……
……
Magic forest, love song family.
“Hmm~Hmm-Hmm-Hmm~~( ̄▽ ̄~)~”
Ai Ge, carrying a small backpack, stood outside the house full of energy. It was the first time for her to go on a long journey, or to go back to her grandmother and Alice's hometown. This made the inexperienced Ai Ge very curious and excited.
Mengzi and Alice were still making final preparations for packing up inside the house, while Aige had packed her things early (because she really didn't have much, just dolls, ropes and the like), and stood outside the house, waiting for them to finish packing.
The people in the house seemed to have encountered some minor problems and were accidentally delayed for a few minutes. Ai Ge, who was a little impatient, walked around the small Western-style house with her legs pulsating.
The mansion where Ai Ge and Alice lived did not cover a large area. After turning the third circle, Ai Ge, who was feeling a little bored, suddenly caught a glimpse of a stone at her feet out of the corner of her eye.
"..."
Ok?
Aige squatted down and looked at the stone carefully.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the stone seemed to... move a little just now?
stamp.
Poke.
Poke poke.
Stone:……
"Aige! We're ready to go, come here quickly."
"Come on."
After responding to Alice loudly, Ai Ge stood up, ran out two steps, turned back, squatted down, picked up the stone and put it in his pocket.
"Love song!!"
"Come on, come on."
Running to the three people who were already prepared, Alice looked at the time. They had made an appointment with Yakumo Yukari to set off for the designated location. Then Yakumo Yukari would open the gap and they could go to the demon world.
It’s almost time, and if I fly there now I can just make it to the agreed time.
Just as Alice was about to call the three to set off, she found Xiangbei falling from the sky and landing in front of them.
Volume 1: First Entry into Fantasy: Chapter 61: Going to the Demonic Realm
"Thanks so much for your care these days." Mengzi bowed to Yakumo Ziwei in front of her.
"Well, it doesn't matter. As long as everything is fine, the passage is open. Are you going now?"
Yakumo Yukari waved her hand indifferently. Although she had basically not taken care of this place except taking Shenqi for a walk and asking Yakumo Lan to find Yumeko to come and find Shenqi, let alone take care of her, she still accepted Yumeko's thanks with peace of mind.
"Well, let's leave now. After all, Master Shenqi has been away from the Demon Realm for a while. It's better to go back a little earlier. Thank you for your help."
"It's not too troublesome, but..."
Yakumo Yukari looked behind Mengzi, at the young man who seemed out of place among the other girls.
Noticing Yakumo Yukari's gaze, Xiangbei smiled back, although it looked a little fake.
"Will this human boy also go to the demon world with you?" asked Yakumo Yukari.
"Yes." Mengzi nodded, "I told Mr. Xiang that I wanted to go to the demon world with us."
Time goes back to ten minutes ago...
"Mr. Xiangbei?"
Alice was a little surprised. It was such a coincidence that she met Xiangbei when she was getting ready to leave early in the morning.
Of course, this is not a coincidence.
"Good morning, Miss Alice." Xiangbei nodded at Alice and waved to Ai Ge and the others.
"Are you planning to return to the Demon Realm?"
"Yeah." Ai Ge popped her head out from behind Alice and answered Xiang Bei.
"We are about to set off back to the demon world."
"I know. You told me so yourself yesterday."
After watching the fireworks last night, Ai Ge pulled Xiang Bei aside to talk about what had happened in the past few days, such as how a few days ago, after thinking that Shen Qi broke into her house, Ai Ge mistook her for a bad guy and knocked her unconscious, and she almost sank into the mist lake; at Marisa's instigation, she secretly tried on the yukata she was going to wear for the summer festival while Alice was out, but accidentally broke the yukata, and it was only with the help of Yumeko that she was able to repair it in time.
She will set off with Alice and her group tomorrow morning and return to the Demon Realm to stay for a few days. Ai Ge has also told Xiang Bei about this. However, even if Ai Ge didn't say it, Xiang Bei, who still remembered some of the novel's plot, would also know about it.
"So Xiangbei, are you here to see me off?"
"Unfortunately, that's not the case... I came here to ask for something."
Time goes back to the present.
Looking at Ai Ge holding Xiang Bei's arm, Alice showed a helpless smile, while Shen Qi behind her had an expression of envy and jealousy on her face.
"Well, I've read some secrets about the demon world in a book, so I'm very curious. I want to go see the city and world built by magic no matter what..."
Xiangbei's plan was to follow Aige and his group into the Demon Realm, and then collect some information about Yakumo Hong in the Demon Realm.
If there really is a so-called big conspiracy in Gensokyo, for example, the Yokai Sage is collecting information about Yakumo Kurenai in Gensokyo, some unexpected accidents may occur.
And when he just went out and entered the crowd, he ran into Miss Reimu who seemed to be asking around for his address...
Xiangbei, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately made up his mind and chose to go to the Demon Realm to avoid the limelight.
Once in the Demon Realm, the possibility of problems arising will naturally be greatly reduced. No matter how capable Yakumo Yukari is, she cannot act recklessly in the territory of the God of the Demon Realm.
Yakumo Hong also had a close connection with the Demon World back then. It seems that there is also an original character named Index who is also a member of the Red Poison... Although she sacrificed her life in order to let Yakumo Hong escape from Gensokyo, in the territory of the God of the Demon World, even if she died, she could probably come back to life.
Alice should also be one of those who likes Yakumo Kurenai, but her memory seems to have been sealed by Yakumo Yukari. In addition, it is suspected that it is the butterfly effect caused by the stitching of the little god, so the connection between Alice and Yakumo Kurenai may not be 100%.
After all, if the story of Gensokyo players is really followed, the Hourai doll next to Alice should be Yakumo Kurenai, but that doll is obviously not her, and he has never discovered the whereabouts of the soul stone storing Yakumo Kurenai.
So he hoped to be able to go to the demon world with them... and this request was easily granted.
Mengzi agreed to lead the journey north. Shenqi had no objection, Aige was happy to see it happen, and Alice...maybe had some small objections, but she finally agreed.
Originally, Xiangbei had planned to try to use the truck to transport himself to the demon world if he was rejected, but since the other party agreed, there was no problem.
"Is that so?" After hearing Xiangbei's words, Yakumo Yukari didn't seem to have any other opinions.
"Don't worry, we will help Mr. Xiang to open the way back to Gensokyo when the time comes." Mengzi added.
"Well, that's good. Speaking of which, Brother Xiangbei, this is the first time we meet."
Yakumo Yukari looked Xiangbei up and down and nodded in approval.
"I've heard Reimu talk about you. You're so powerful at such a young age, which is extremely rare even in the past few thousand years. Seeing you today, I can see you're truly a man of talent... By the way, you were the one fighting with Rumia last night, right? What was the reason for the fight?"
"Oh, that thing."
Before he came, he knew that he would run into Yakumo Yukari. In the original story, it was Yakumo Yukari who cleared the way back for Aika and her group, so he had already thought about what to say before he came.
"Actually, I'm not entirely sure. When I noticed the Magic Forest was filled with a massive, spreading black fog, I went to take a look and discovered that the fog was being released by a youkai named Rumia. Reimu said she was a small youkai, but when I saw her, she looked truly grown-up."
"So I persuaded Lumia to put away the black fog, because it was spreading very quickly and heading straight towards the people, but she didn't agree, so we had some conflicts..."
"I see."
Yakumo Yukari understood, but she was still a little confused.
"Then do you know where Lumia went after that?"
"I don't know." Xiangbei shook his head and answered honestly.
