Volume 1: Chapter 49: The Three Endings of the Game
Hei Tong Xian Hu didn't really have any negative feelings about the Holy Church's imminent entry into the gaming industry.
Not only did he not have any negative emotions, his first reaction was even a little bit of happiness.
If the gaming industry wants to develop and expand further, it is definitely not enough to rely on just one plagiarist like him. A large group of people must join in.
With the investment from the behemoth Holy Church, everything will surely develop faster than imagined.
As for whether he would be crushed to death by the Holy Church in the process?
Heitong Xianhu is a plagiarist after all, and he has countless creative gameplay ideas.
The gaming industry cannot achieve success simply by being large in size.
Haven’t you seen that Microsoft in the past dominated the competition in the host field with its funding and technology?
In the later period, Nintendo was directly and proactively classified into the outsider level that was not considered and could not be compared at all.
As for the fact that he was being poached, Hei Tong Xian Hu was quite calm about it. After all, he had already made certain mental preparations.
As long as the key producers are retained, the other direct descendants can be trained slowly.
What's more, after accumulating some technical skills, he is ready to enter the 3D game field.
This group of employees has experience in 2D game production.
It is precious if you say it is precious, but it is not precious either if you say it is not precious.
Instead of forcing them to stay and work, it would be better to let them follow Xier and spread out like stars in the sky to start making various other games.
Kuroto Xianhu: "So do I need to limit the themes of the games I make in the future?"
He cares more about this aspect now.
He wanted to know whether the Holy Church would use its mysterious power to restrict the content of the game.
Xiel: "No, unless the Church dominates the gaming industry commercially with its own influence, it will not restrict you in other ways. But personally, I still hope that Kurogiri will not make vampires look good."
Kurogiri Xianhu: "I understand. However, if Miss Xiel had played the game carefully, she would have discovered that the core of Yokai Sage: Origin has never been a celebration of mystery, nor has it anything to do with vampires. There are three endings: the human ending, the sage ending, and the killer ending. Anyone who has seen it will know that the killer ending is the one we object to the most."
Xiyeer: “That’s true.”
The blue-haired girl raised her glasses slightly, recalling the time she had been playing the game console not long ago.
Yakumo, who ended up as a murderer, gradually went crazy after killing again and again.
A small town of humans, a gathering of monsters. Everything that should have brought peace and comfort to people was cut off by the blade.
It gradually degenerated into a beast that only knew how to kill.
In the later stages of the game, players will not be able to do anything except kill.
There are no friends to communicate with, no companions to trust.
He could only wander and kill in the forest forever like a lonely soul.
Due to being away from human society for a long time, their language and thinking abilities have deteriorated.
Even its originally good-looking appearance degenerated due to the lack of necessary communication, and it gradually imitated the powerful beasts in the forest, becoming more and more twisted and hideous.
Although it gradually grew into an invincible existence.
But the final outcome was a dream. Looking at his extremely terrifying face emerging from the water, he was tempted into murderous intent. As he gradually lost his mind, he kept slashing at the water surface.
After realizing that it couldn't kill its reflection in the water no matter what it did, it stabbed itself to death.
This ending incorporates Ryougi Shiki and Ryougi Ori's final imagination of themselves sinking into murderous intent, and even the appearance of the final monster was personally participated in by both of them.
Anyone can feel the distortion of the overall atmosphere.
Of course, because the atmosphere is so good, players are very eager to experience this feeling and then take the initiative to kill people to fight this line. That’s another story.
Xiel: "It's clear that the people who created this game yearn for human society, like they're trying to persuade vampires. Those alien creatures teetering on the edge of madness will probably want to become more human after playing this game."
The blue-haired girl smiled and gave her comments.
Compared to the killer's ending, the final outcome of humans is——
Yakumo protected his human friends, shared laughter with them, grew old with them, and finally chose to die with them.
She believed that she was still the little girl Yakumo, and in the end, she ended her life as a human being in the arms of children.
It's hard to say whether this is a good or bad ending.
But no matter what, it is more comfortable than the ending of the murderer.
The third one, the sage ending, known as the true ending, is essentially a continuation of the human ending.
In this ending, Yakumo also shares joy with her human friends, but she does not use her abilities to allow herself to grow old with humans.
She was just disguising herself to look older.
After her friends died, she returned to the mountains and burned everything she had with them, including the clothes she had been given, at a huge shrine.
She admitted that she was a monster and that she was not Yakumo, and named herself Yakumo Yukari after the purple clothes she had been wearing for a long time.
She travels on a scale of millennia, observing everything on earth.
The human thinking she always retains makes her more keen on thinking and analyzing than those monsters who solve everything with violence.
The body of a demon, the mind of a human.
Thousands of years of experience, thousands of years of accumulation.
As time went by, the reputation of the sage spread like wildfire.
She was the first to discover the development of the times and the fact that the mystery was gradually disappearing.
In the end, she chose to use her own abilities to build a place called Gensokyo to preserve the mysteries of the world.
It was not out of great sentiment, nor for the future of monsters, but simply because Yakumo Yukari, who had human thinking, could not survive alone.
Humans are lonely creatures, and Yakumo Yukari cannot live alone.
Gensokyo, the place loved by the gods, the world in Yakumo Yukari's heart.
It accommodates all abnormalities and miracles. Whether it is human or monster, whether it is god or wronged soul, they can all survive here.
Gods are not noble, humans are not ordinary, and demons are not evil.
This is a world of uncommon sense, where everything that was once incompatible can now be compatible.
Monsters can enter human markets to buy food.
Humans can obtain the power of monsters through special means.
God also has to lower his noble head to discuss with his believers, make them believe in him, and worry about this every day.
The final CG of the game is Yakumo Yukari holding a parasol and sipping wine in a gap full of eyes, and below her.
Humans, gods, demons, and ghosts were holding a banquet in the shrine, playing around, just like how they lived in the human city a hundred years after Yakumo was born.
Kurogiri Xianhu: "Ms. Xiel, it seems like she has played all the endings?"
Xiyeer: “Yes.”
Pulling her consciousness away from her memories, the blue-haired girl smiled at Kurogiri Xianhu: "Actually, I didn't agree with the so-called sage ending at first. After all, it sounded a bit selfish and disregarded the outside world, but..."
Her gaze swept across Ryougi Shiki, who was standing outside the conference room with sharp eyes, Amber, who had a smile on her face, and Kirie Mujo, who looked a little anxious.
A dual personality with murderous tendencies, a hollow puppet with nothing, and a flyer with extreme mental state who is easily led astray.
Xiel couldn't see specifically what their abnormalities were, but she could sense the abnormalities in their bodies and minds.
It is the attraction between mystery and mystery, between abnormalities and abnormalities, and the mutual perception between the same kind.
These abnormal people are now standing outside the conference room, some are fierce, some are confused, and some are nervous. Even if it is the empty Amber, her coming to the front of the conference room at this time actually explains the problem.
Xiel: "If this is the Gensokyo that Ryougi recognized, then it is indeed very appropriate."
A hint of envy emerged in his eyes, but was quickly suppressed.
She turned to look at Kurogiri Kanko's face, gently lifting her glasses to reveal a peaceful smile. "I can confirm that the youkai Yakumo in the game is definitely not a vampire. I will explain this to the higher-ups of the Holy Church on your behalf."
Kuroto Xianhu: "Is that so?"
Looking at Xier in front of him with a little surprise, Hei Tong Xianhu thought that the other party was here to cause trouble, but it turned out that he was here to help.
Hei Tong Xian Hu: "I wonder if I need to prepare anything?"
Xiyeer: “That’s not necessary.”
She smiled sternly and raised her black glasses slightly, then opened her hands and made a threatening gesture: "Mr. Kurogiri, if you bribe the agent without permission and are found out, there will be punishment."
Xiyeer: "After that, we will be enemies."
Volume 1: Chapter 50: Noelle is selfish and cowardly
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the ground with light snow, piled up snowmen, scattered colorful lights, and the afterglow of Christmas still remains on this land.
Noyer followed behind Hier and headed towards the local church.
"Hey, how are you going to deal with all this? Those guys' company has absolutely no connection to the Dead Apostles."
While walking, Noyer finally couldn't help but speak.
"Can I take it that this is you who are worried, Noelle? Or perhaps you are trying to cover them up."
Xiel turned to look at the nun who was always shrinking behind him, and his voice was full of a strange coldness.
The black-rimmed glasses had been taken off, and the dim sunlight shone on Xiel's face. At this moment, the blue-haired girl was no longer as gentle as she was in the Touhou Project company.
Beneath the short blue hair is a warrior's poker face.
The sky-blue eyes were filled with calm indifference.
This is what Xiel, the seventh officer of the Burial Agency and the Dead Apostle hunter codenamed "Bow", should look like.
At least in Noyer's heart, the man before him was the real Xiel. The gentle appearance he displayed through the glasses was always just a disguise.
Noyer: "I'm just stating the facts."
Forcefully suppressing the fear in his heart, Noelle looked up and stared at Xiel in front of him.
In the past, even though she was afraid of Xier, she also respected him and would never go against him.
After all, it was she who completed the impossible hunt and killed two of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles.
But now——
Noyer admitted that he was jealous of the people of Kuroto Kanko and their lives.
But they are also exceptions among exceptions. Even people like Noyer can participate in their lives without any disguise.
Even with malicious intent, she could still blend in with the group and enjoy the little bit of excitement that leaked out from the edges.
Noyer: "Our only enemy has always been Roya. There's no need to expand the hatred and involve others."
Xiel: "It's really unexpected that such words came out of your mouth, Noel, who usually vents his anger by torturing low-level vampires."
The blue-haired girl put on her glasses again, and her stern and cold face finally returned to disguise.
She had a gentle smile on her face. "Since you're so interested, Noelle, how about I let you manage the game company of the Holy Church?"
Noelle: “?!”
At this moment, Sister Chacha showed a puzzled expression on her face: "What are you going to do, Xiyeer?"
Xiyeer: "Of course I continued to investigate."
The calm words carried a deadly message.
Noyer came to Japan with Hier for one and only one real purpose.
Based on his own memories, Xiel sensed that the infinitely reincarnated snake Roya, who had destroyed their hometown and turned their lives into tragedy, was reincarnated this time in Japan.
As time goes by and more information is collected, Xier should be able to further narrow down the opponent's location.
After hearing what Xier said, Sister Chacha's face, which always showed false toughness, showed an extremely obvious murderous intent.
Noyer: "Do you need my cooperation?"
Xiye'er: "It doesn't require anything. No, Xiye'er, you just need to hand over the weapon to me and take care of the dream. I'll let you know when there's any news."
