[Currently available skill points: 2]
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 97: Let's Talk, Disaster
The panel seemed a little simple. I flipped north to look at the somewhat long talents and spells and saw the skill points at the bottom.
Where do these skill points come from?
I looked through the records and asked the system...I couldn't find it and the system didn't respond.
Okay, although I don’t know where these skill points came from, I’ll just treat them as something I got for free.
Xiangbei tried it and found that although this thing is called skill points, it seems that they can be added to talents and techniques.
After the inspectors left, Index said goodbye and went to check on Lilith. Then, Xiangbei was alone in the room and put some skill points into the "Six Eyes".
"..."
Looking north, he saw all sorts of magical residues clearly visible, and a large amount of magical information flooded into his mind, including the flow and operation of his own spell power... He felt that there had been some improvement, but it was not very obvious.
Xiangbei felt a little disappointed. He thought that adding a little to the six eyes would bring some special changes... It can't be said that there are no changes. Xiangbei can feel that his ability to control his cursed power and detect surrounding information has been improved to a certain extent, but the effect is not very big.
It’s average, not as good as the previous enhancements and props.
After sitting up from the hospital bed, he heard the door click open. Ai Ge rushed in from outside the door and came to Xiangbei's bed.
"Xiangbei, how are you feeling? Are you not hurt?"
Even though Shenqi's grandmother had suffered such serious internal injuries, Xiangbei seemed to be fine. This made Aige suspect that the injuries he suffered were the "internal injuries" that Kaguya mentioned in those games.
"Don't worry, it's nothing, just a little tired... How is your sister?" Xiangbei asked, touching Aige's head.
"Well, Grandmother Shenqi said she was just injured. She also said that it would take some time to separate the power that didn't belong to Lilith from her body. There's nothing wrong with it."
"That's fine."
Hearing this, Xiangbei felt a little relieved. He also didn't want to see the Demon Princess, who he had rescued with great difficulty, encounter any problems after the mission was completed because of the accumulated damage or other conditions in the previous battle.
"Aige, can you please go out for a while?" He took his hand away from Aige's head. "I want to lie down alone for a while."
"Well, then you should have a good rest. I will bring you dinner."
Aige nodded obediently, watched Xiangbei lie back on the hospital bed, walked out of the room quietly and closed the door.
However, her expression was somewhat lonely.
If only I could become stronger, then Grandma Shenqi wouldn't have been injured like that, and I would have been able to protect Xiangbei instead of being protected unilaterally by him.
I feel a tightness in my chest and I'm not happy...
After standing blankly at the door outside the ward for a while, Ai Ge slowly left.
……
……
"Hey! Woe!"
Stepping in the sticky blood, there were finely crafted puppets all around. These puppets were covered in blood and seemed to have incomplete organs, with missing arms and legs, and holes in their chests. They were completely non-human-like and soaked in blood.
Although these dolls are extremely delicate and beautiful, they can only be described as creepy when placed in this scene... Fortunately, the residents here don't care about this problem.
"Your days of occupying other people's bodies at your whim are over... Get out of my body!"
"Do you think I will do what you want?"
Huo sneered, and huge hands condensed by darkness rose up around him, pretending to be in a fighting posture.
"Although I wanted to take over your body, and now you're trapped here, I don't care what kind of mistakes or punishments I have to bear... but if you want me to give up, then there's no way!"
"Come on, Xiangbei, let us continue to fight until a true master who can control this body is born!"
After saying that, Huo raised the dark palm beside him and was about to kill Xiangbei.
"What you said is not right..." Xiangbei frowned.
"Shouldn't you sit on a white plastic chair, say some set lines like 'If you want me to get out, you have to do it yourself', listen to a few meaningless drum beats, and then fight together?"
"What?" Huo was stunned, and the dark hand beside him almost couldn't hold on.
"The jokes from the outside world... forget it, you probably don't know." Shaking his head, Xiangbei continued.
"You only need to know one thing...that is, Huo, I'm actually here to negotiate terms."
"Negotiate terms?"
"Okay, let's negotiate the terms." Xiangbei pulled a relatively complete doll and sat on it as a stool.
"Anyway, the current situation is that you can't occupy my body because you and the other two guys can't move, and you can't beat me, so no."
"I can't completely destroy you either, because if I did that, the other two guys might end up fighting me, and I can't deal with that ghost thing...so I can't do that either."
"Since this is the case, and neither of us can do anything to the other, why don't we put aside our prejudices and have a good talk?"
“…What you said does make sense, but…” Huo looked at Xiangbei with a strange expression.
"Would you choose to 'talk' to the sinner who took over your friend's sister's body, fought with you, and even tried to take over your body?"
"Otherwise, we can't chase them away, and we can't fight them either. Instead of wearing each other down and wasting our energy, why not just be decent people for once... After all, aren't we all aiming for the same thing?"
"It's all for Yakumo Kurenai anyway, right?"
When Huo heard the three words "Yakumo Hong", his face changed, and then he regained his composure.
"I see. So you knew about Yakumo Kurenai's existence and still retained your memories... But why have I never seen you before?"
"It's normal that you haven't seen him. It's just my one-sided knowledge." Xiang Bei didn't want to reveal the fact that he was also a time traveler... at least not now. He always felt that something might go wrong.
Even if they want to be honest and reveal things about the time traveler and the system... at least they have to wait until their trust in each other is higher.
"But I'm on your side. I'm willing to help Yakumo Hong."
"Then why should I believe you?" Huo's face turned serious and his eyes became sharp.
"Even if you keep saying you want to help Xiaohong... why should I believe you? How much do you know about Xiaohong? Do you know how many times Xiaohong died for that Gensokyo? Do you understand what you're fighting against if you help Xiaohong?"
"Can you do it? For one person, are you willing to drag the entire world into destruction?"
"This probably won't work. If I really have to choose between the world and Xiaohong, I will probably stand on the side of the world." Xiangbei shook his head regretfully.
"But if possible, I would prefer to save both of them... in my own way."
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 98: Reaching a Consensus... Halfway There
The main task given by the system requires you to resurrect Yakumo Hong.
But Xiangbei doesn't have any ability to resurrect people... Well, maybe he can use superhuman techniques to imitate the "O pa pe" meme and resurrect the deceased Yakumo Hong?
Well, the power of the Superman Technique isn't truly limitless, and there are quite a few limitations to its use. Only things you think are "funny" can come true. But once you know the limitations of this ability, you can't help but let your imagination run wild, making it difficult to fully utilize the power's true effect...
This is always considered an unreliable option, as other spells don't have such a function... Uh... No, maybe the necromancy of a certain curse master might work?!
That's not right. What this technique can bring down is ultimately "information", not true resurrection. Even if it can be "resurrected" through the factors of the bug of Ka Tian and Tyrant, it is not clear whether the system will recognize it.
So it is not very reliable. At the same time, a small amount of body tissue of the summoned spirit is needed to activate the spirit summoning technique. Where to find the body of Yakumo Hong? Who knows?
In that case, the only thing left is the resurrection scroll that I just got, but it clearly states that it cannot be used on the dead. Although several personalities are now alive, there is also a stupid guy who doesn't look very intelligent... This might be the soul fragment of Yakumo Hong, but it seems that it is still in a state of not being alive. It is not clear whether it can be used by her, and it also has side effects.
To sum up, even though Xiangbei has some resurrection abilities, they are not very reliable for various reasons and cannot achieve the task completion requirements 100%.
Therefore, it is very necessary to reach a cooperative relationship with Huo. In the original work of Gensokyo players, it was she who single-handedly pulled the strings to resurrect Yakumo Kurenai. If her own series of means fail to achieve the goal, then Huo will be the last resort.
"That shouldn't work. If I really had to choose between the world and Xiaohong, I would probably choose to stand on the side of the world."
Although Xiangbei has a lot of good feelings towards the characters he has only seen in novels, if he really has to put them on the scale to compare them, he will definitely be more inclined to the side of the world where he already has friends and relationships.
"But if possible, I would prefer to save both of them... in my own way."
However, after all, he did have a good impression of Yakumo Hong. If he could help, even if there was no system task requirement, he would still be willing to do his best in the direction within his ability.
"..."
Hearing this, Huo was silent for a few seconds, as if he was judging the truthfulness of Xiangbei's words.
Xiangbei was very patient. While waiting for Huo's answer, he observed the surrounding environment.
This place seems to be my own mental world, but because of the intervention of the souls of the evil ghost Bai, it has now become this weird appearance... But there is no substantial impact.
Gui and Bai are hiding deep in the soul. Although he can still find them if he wants, the existence of the suspected soul fragment of Yakumo Hong has disappeared. It seems that it has been hidden by Huo and others using some special means.
"You said you were willing to help Yakumo Kurenai...but why?"
The darkness around Huo disappeared, and it seemed that he no longer had the aggressive attitude he had before, but his tone was still questioning.
"Perhaps you know something about Xiao Hong, retaining her old memories and knowing some of her past... But even so, your understanding is only one-sided. I also have Yakumo Hong's memories, and you have never existed in her memories."
"It can be said that you and her are not familiar with each other, or even completely strangers."
"If that's the case, why are you working so hard for a stranger you don't even know? Do you have such a reason? Why do you do this?"
Looks like some of them have been convinced?
Xiangbei is not very good at speaking, and he did not inherit such skills from the system...so he had to choose his tone carefully.
"As for the reasons, there are three in total."
"First, although I only have a one-sided understanding of Yakumo Hong, I actually know much more than you think. I know a lot about what Yakumo Hong has experienced... I can say that from my personal perspective, I quite like her as a person."
"Secondly, I deeply sympathize with the injustice she's suffered... Don't look at me like that. It's normal for people to have empathy. I'm not some inhuman politician or a thousand-year-old monster. In terms of physical age, I'm not even an adult yet."
"Third... I can vaguely sense that you harbor hatred towards Gensokyo, and perhaps towards Yakumo Yukari or the Dragon God. It's not just you, but especially that guy deep in your soul..."
"Although I've restrained you now, it's just you. If that Bai gets involved, I'll be completely helpless against the other guy. If our disagreement leads you to want to release that guy, I absolutely can't stop you. It will be a disaster."
"To sum up, these are my reasons, so... what are your opinions?"
The reasons given were quite sufficient, but Huo did not have the mind-reading ability of Gu Mingji Jue, and could not tell the truth from the falsehood in the words... Just take it as the truth.
Given the current situation, Huo really can't do anything. Without a body that he can control independently, his life is worse than when he was trapped in the stone... At least he could still use some of his abilities back then.
Moreover, if Xiangbei really wants to help Yakumo Hong, with his strength, he will definitely be a great help.
I can’t say for sure, it really can…
"I need to think about it again."
However, Huo did not give an immediate answer. She really needed to think about it for a while and observe whether Xiangbei's words and actions were correct in the next few days.
"Okay." He sat up from the doll and smiled at Huo in the north.
"I look forward to your reply."
Huo snorted and turned his head away, not looking at Xiangbei.
Xiang Bei's consciousness also withdrew from this soul space.
Is this a deal? At least it's a partial success.
Although Huo didn't completely trust him, it wasn't a complete failure.
Then, in these few days, let Huo see his actions and sincerity. Go meet Rumia, look for Rika, see Saeki Rin and so on.
But that's when we return to Gensokyo... I'll probably have to stay here for a few more days.
Staring blankly out the window, Xiangbei felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.
Let’s take a nap first.
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 99: Alice
Long, long ago, the Creator Shenqi was born between heaven and earth.
No one knows her origins, but she is the true god born at the beginning of this world.
After a long time, Shenqi finally couldn't stand the long-term loneliness. She couldn't stand being alone anymore, so she began to use her power of law - creation.
Mengzi, her maid in later generations, was her first creation.
Then, Shenqi created many people and many things, and after spending hundreds of millions of years, he successfully created the entire demon world.
However, even though she created the Demon Realm, had a huge number of people who loved and believed in her, had maids who took care of her meticulously, and had friends to talk and play with... Shenqi still did not feel satisfied, and always felt that something was missing.
Finally one day, Shenqi discovered that she was still alone.
