"Alright, alright. I'm not interested in knowing the extent of your loyalty to Miss Youxiang. I'm only here to check on you and bring back a message." Xiangbei waved his hand, interrupting the other party. "You haven't answered my first question yet. You do seem to know Index, so where is she?"
"As for Miss Index, it should be in the large library in the castle." Mengyue replied.
"Well, okay, I understand. As for what you said, I will say something good when I report to Miss Youxiang later."
Xiangbei pulled out a white cloth, rolled it up on the spot, and disappeared from where he was. His quick and decisive departure left the two blonde sisters stunned for a moment.
……
……
"Are you going to look for Index?"
After asking other maids on the way and learning the location of the library, Xiangbei was not in a hurry to meet them in the library.
Index...is not the one with 130,000 pornographic books in her head. She is a character created by Gensokyo players. Her full name is Index Humpty, a balanced monster, and also one of Yakumo Kurenai's harem.
According to the plot, Index should have sacrificed herself almost by self-destruction about ten years ago in order to stop Yakumo Yukari from killing Yakumo Beni, so that Yakumo Beni could get that chance to escape from Gensokyo.
Index should be dead, but according to the confessions of Huanyue and Mengyue, she should have been resurrected now.
But Xiangbei was still a little hesitant about whether or not to go find Index.
When they were shopping before, he asked the succubus if she had heard of Yakumo Hong, but she said she had not.
Although she can't be considered a member of the harem, the succubus is at least familiar with Yakumo Hong. It's only been a dozen years, how could she have forgotten her?
There was probably only one possible outcome, and that was that her memory was also erased.
But the succubus is in the demon world. Can Long Shen and Yakumo Yukari attack the succubus under Shen Qi's nose?
It's not impossible that someone could sneak in and erase the succubus's memory while the succubus is not in the Demon World's capital, but the probability is not very high.
Or perhaps, was it Shenqi who erased the succubus's memory? Or perhaps Shenqi also agreed to erase all memories related to Yakumo Hong, and agreed to let Yakumo Yukari and Long Shen come to the demon world to erase their memories?
If that's the case, then we're in trouble.
Originally, Xiangbei was thinking that if Index didn't know about Yakumo Hong's situation, he would choose to ask Shenqi directly, but if Shenqi also acquiesced to this situation, asking Shenqi directly would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Even if Index was resurrected, her memory would probably be erased. After all, the memory of a succubus no longer exists. As someone who loves Yakumo Kurenai and is willing to sacrifice her life for her and do all kinds of extreme things, her memory will be sealed.
Damn, if that’s the case, could it be that the clue is broken again?
Well... not necessarily.
In addition to wanting to find Kamiki Index to ask about Yakumo Kurenai, he also came to the Demon Realm to take Rumia, who was sealed in the Prison Gate, away from the limelight.
I can't rely on Shinki and Index, but I still have Rumia.
Even if the Demon Realm was created by Shenqi, it does not mean that she can observe the movements in every corner of the Demon Realm.
Let's find a place to release Rumia later.
After getting information from Yakumo Kurenai and preparing to return to Gensokyo, just stuff her into the prison gate and take her back.
Thinking of this, Xiangbei changed his steps and walked towards the direction of leaving the castle.
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 72: Rumia, Resurrection!
Mengzi had invited Xiangbei to the dinner earlier, but there was still a lot of time before dinner, so Xiangbei could still move freely during this time.
After leaving the castle, head north in the direction of flying away from the capital of the Demon Realm.
He flew quite a distance until Xiangbei thought that no one would notice him, and then he landed in a forest.
He took out the gray prison gate from the shadow, threw it aside, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really tiring to be suppressed by the prison gate for so long. I really don't want to do this again." Although I will probably have to do it a second time when I return to Gensokyo.
There are two ways to remove the seal of the Prison Gate Border. One is to possess the Prison Gate Border·Ri, which is the "back door of the Prison Gate Border", and use something like the Tenshoko or the black rope, which can directly remove, disrupt, or eliminate the spell, so as to pry open the back door and unlock the Prison Gate Border.
Another method is that the holder of the Prison Gate Territory chooses to unlock the seal of the Prison Gate Territory himself. The holder of the Prison Gate Territory is Xiangbei, so he can naturally unlock the seal of the Prison Gate Territory at will.
The current Yumenjiang seems to have completely analyzed Rumia's information. Its eyes are closed and it does not release any amazing weight. It does not crush any flowers or plants when it is thrown out.
"untie."
Xiangbei made hand seals with his hands and silently chanted "release". The prison gate in front of him turned back to red in an instant, and all the eyes on the surface opened. Then, it stretched up like a spring, revealing Rumia sitting inside.
Then, having completed its mission, Yumenjiang turned back into a cube wrapped in talismans.
A shadow emerged from under his feet, and after reclaiming the Prison Gate, he walked forward to the north. Feeling that Rumia was still immersed in the aftereffects of the Prison Gate and had not reacted yet, he came over and shook Rumia, who seemed to be still in a daze. By the way, before she could react, he used the Wuwei Transformation to heal the injuries caused by the previous battle.
"Hey, hey, Miss Lumia, wake up, you're already out."
"Uh, ah, huh? Oh!"
Rumia, who finally reacted, shook her head violently and looked at Xiangbei in disbelief.
"How long have you sealed me?"
"Hmm?" Xiangbei then remembered that he seemed to have not told Rumia about some of the special effects of the Prison Gate.
"Ah, don't worry about that. Time doesn't flow in the Prison Gate Territory. Even though it may feel like a long time has passed, only one day has passed outside. We just fought yesterday."
"...wouldn't you have said this earlier?"
"I forgot. We are in a hurry after all."
Looking at Xiangbei who showed no regrets, Rumia rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything more now that things have come to this... huh?"
Only then did Rumia notice that she was rubbing her eyebrows with her intact right hand, but her right hand should have been completely broken during the previous battle with Xiangbei.
Not only that, all the injuries on her body caused by the battle with Xiangbei have now been completely repaired.
"Don't look at it anymore. I'll help you heal your wounds."
Xiangbei explained, stretched out his hand and pointed at the shadow beside Rumia.
"Now that I have released you, you should return Moxu Luo to me."
"Okay, okay, okay. I don't have Baoyu anymore, so I'm no match for you. What are you worried about?"
Rumia patted the dust off her body and sat up from the ground. The shadow under her feet was boiling. The next moment, the tall Moxu Luo came out from Rumia's shadow, curled her lips, and drew out all the darkness from Moxu Luo's body. She then returned the control of Moxu Luo to Xiangbei.
After regaining control of Mokhlo, Xiangbei took it back. Rumia also took the opportunity to look around. Although it was a small forest, these trees and plants did not seem to be able to grow in the soil of Gensokyo, so she asked.
"This isn't Gensokyo anymore, is it?"
"That's right." Xiangbei replied, "This is the Demon Realm. After all, the impact of our previous battle was quite large. It just so happened that a friend of mine wanted to return to the Demon Realm to visit relatives, so I followed him back."
"Do you have friends in the demon world?" Rumia asked, then shook her head.
"Forget it, it's not important, let's talk about serious things."
Rumia's face straightened.
"You said earlier that Yakumo Kurenai has been resurrected. Is this true?"
"I said, 'maybe,' but it's probably pretty close."
He actually didn't know whether Yakumo Hong was alive or not, but according to the plot, Yakumo Hong should have been resurrected by now.
"The power of the laws within her body is very strong. Even if the Dragon God kills her a third time, she shouldn't die."
"Law?" Rumia looked puzzled. "What is that?"
"Don't you know... Uh, you really shouldn't know. Let me think about it."
Laws, similar to the laws of nature and the rules of the world, are the core power of the player world of Gensokyo and the source of power for the protagonist Yakumo Kurenai. Her system is composed of all the laws and powers in the entire world of destruction.
After pondering for a moment, Xiangbei explained to Rumia, "You should understand it as... the core power of the world's will, the power of the world's rules... or something like that? Anyway, those who possess this power are basically the top powerful people in this world, such as Long Shen, Shen Qi, and Yue Yejian."
"I understand." I didn't understand it completely, but I understood most of it.
"And, speaking of the beating of Yakumo Yukari..." If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore, Rumia shrugged her ears.
"It can't be done."
"...Even though you promised so firmly before."
"That's because... Ugh, that's because the current situation has changed."
Xiangbei coughed lightly and said.
"The memories of almost everyone in Gensokyo have been sealed, including Youkai Mountain, Old Hell, and even Eternal Pavilion. Anyone with memories of Yakumo Kurenai has had their memories sealed and controlled."
"Even Yakumo Yukari had her memory sealed, but that wasn't her own doing. The Dragon God sealed her memory for her, saying it was to prevent her from feeling the pain of having killed Yakumo Hong with her own hands."
"You know all this?" Rumia was a little surprised.
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network! Not only in Gensokyo, but even those far away in the Demon Realm—such as the succubus, Index, and anyone connected to Yakumo Kurenai—had their memories wiped out."
"How is this possible! This is the Demon Realm, how could Shenqi possibly—"
Rumia suddenly stopped talking, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Shinki probably allowed Yakumo Yukari and Ryujin's actions. After all, from her standpoint, Shinki is definitely on the side of the Demon Realm. If Yakumo Honghui wanted to destroy the world, she would definitely not allow it."
"And to prevent the Succubus and Index from suffering or taking any drastic action due to Yakumo Kurenai's situation—it's understandable that they chose to seal their memories."
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic Realm: Chapter 73: Bide your strength, young man
"So, it's impossible to help Xiaohong get revenge?"
"In theory, yes. Unless one of us suddenly realizes the true meaning of the so-called 'law', then it will be possible to do it."
Xiangbei is not very hopeful about this.
With his current strength, being able to fight Rumia who has the Op Jewel and still have some strength left is the limit of what he can achieve at the moment.
By relying on the power of the system and completing tasks to gain rewards, he can become stronger, but the probability of him reaching the level of mastering the rules is not high.
If we compare the combat power of the three current sages of Gensokyo... If he faces Ibaraki Hanasu, Xiangbei may win, but if he faces Yakumo Yukari, he probably won't be able to beat her. However, relying on some of his special abilities, he should be able to run away and hide, and even inflict some injuries on her.
But if the target is Modoro, the god of fun... then there is nothing to be done. Even with the assistance of the system, Xiangbei feels that it is difficult to deal with her.
It's impossible to go north, and there's no point in thinking about Rumia. As a monster, her growth rate is much slower than that of humans, not to mention that she hasn't died yet.
Maybe after another thousand or hundred years, Rumia might really understand the true meaning of the law, but that is too long a time, and during this time Yakumo Hong would probably have won the resurrection match.
"But there's no need to be too disappointed."
Seeing that Rumia was a little depressed, Xiangbei spoke to comfort her.
"If we tie up the Dragon God and send him up together, we'll probably be done for. But Yakumo Yukari is another matter... I also happen to know a few people who might have retained their memories and are willing to join our fantasy of fighting Yukari. As long as we unite, work together, and bide our time, we'll one day be able to tie up that BBA Yakumo Yukari to a place where no detectors can find her, and unleash the ultimate insult called Phantom Head Four on her!"
"I'll just take it as you comforting me."
Rumia forced a smile, but she had never felt so powerless.
As a well-known and ferocious monster, Rumia has always been feared by many forces. She has devoured so many humans and even monsters that even she herself can't remember how many there are.
But now, she couldn't even avenge the girl who sacrificed her life to help her and Haku Rei, or vent her anger.
She couldn't beat Yakumo Yukari, especially now that she didn't even have the Op Jewel in her hands, let alone think about dealing with the Dragon God, the entire Gensokyo, or even the entire world.
Even though he comforted her, Rumia looked even more depressed. Xiangbei scratched his head, not sure what the problem was.
But he soon stopped worrying about this issue, after all, there were still some important things to be dealt with.
"Well, I don't know why you suddenly became emo, but I still have some questions to ask you." Xiangbei constructed two white plastic chairs, handed one to Rumia, and stuffed the other behind himself.
"Lumiya, please sit down."
……
……
Xiangbei asked and Lumia answered. The two maintained this conversation for half an hour and then ended.
The information that Rumia said about Yakumo Hong was basically what Xiangbei already knew, so there was nothing wrong with it.
At present, it seems that there is no change in the plot due to the overlap of the worlds, and there is no information from the world outside these two worlds.
Of course, Rumia's information alone may not be comprehensive. After all, she doesn't know much about Yakumo Kurenai. She just almost killed her when she fought Cirno, and later she really killed her once. Since then, she has been in a state of contentment like Cirno.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Many of them have nothing to do with Kurenai." Rumia seemed to have regained her composure a little. "Also, besides Kurenai, the only other people with the Yakumo surname are the fox and the cat... well, I'm not sure if the cat still exists."
"Nothing, just asking." He looked north at the sky... The weather conditions in the Demon Realm are similar to those in the outside world of Gensokyo, and it's still some time before dinner.
"Oh, by the way, I remember you're a man-eating monster? You seem to be a dark-origin monster that needs to devour the darkness in people's hearts to survive. Do you still need to eat now?"
