"The tree on Monster Mountain is actually not the real body..."
"Damn it, how many trees did the man behind the scenes plant..."
"It's best not to let me catch him. I will treat him to a hundred Yin-Yang jade."
Inside the Hakurei Shrine at the east end.
The few people who had just returned to the shrine to rest were complaining.
The main thing is that the red and white miko and the black and white magician were lying on the floor of the shrine with their arms and legs spread out in a large shape. They both looked tired and weak. The former stared at the ceiling with dull eyes and complained blankly, as if He looked very exhausted but also angry.
After all, for Hakurei Reimu, her favorite rhythm is to spend her days leisurely, with a cup of tea, in a daze all day long, basking in the sun and doing nothing. This is the best thing.
It's like a mutation or something, I really don't want to deal with it!
However, these monsters all have no time to spare. They have to find something to do for themselves every now and then. It's really annoying... especially this time, there is still no clue about this change. , they have been busy for so long, and they have not even found the true cause of the mutation phenomenon.
This makes people want to complain...
It is easy to find clues about the usual changes, but now, they are missing continuously, causing a huge blow to morale one after another.
Even the clues they finally caught were basically deceptive traps, and they were all located in places like Feng Jian Yuxiang's sunflower field. They went through all kinds of hardships, only to find that they had finally removed them. The giant tree is just a simple magical creation...
——It is not the true form of the sacred tree that truly covers the entire Gensokyo and connects the ground to the sky.
——This can be easily proved. The momentum of that tree is becoming more and more condensed. It is as if all the power between heaven and earth has been condensed on it, condensing and not dispersing, converging and flowing.
This is definitely not comparable to those towering trees that are just as tall as the sky, but have only an empty shell.
Today's group was naturally another missed opportunity, and they were also educated by Ibuki Suika and the two great Yokai-level Tengu from Yokai Mountain. Although relying on the power given to Hakurei Miko by the Great Barrier, she still won without any suspense, but Hakurei Reimu still felt that she was burned out.
so tired……
I really want to show off...
The same goes for Kirisame Marisa who was traveling with her. In a very unsightly and unladylike posture, she lay stretched out next to the red and white miko. She nodded repeatedly when she heard this:
"That's right, if I catch the mastermind behind the scenes, I will definitely use my gossip furnace to hit that guy's knee hard..."
"I said you... are you so exaggerated? You two were obviously the most excited before."
Alice next to her glanced at the two of them, shook her head, and sighed softly.
She actually didn't really want to participate in this change, but she couldn't resist Marisa's warm invitation. Considering that she didn't have too many friends in Gensokyo, this black and white mouse was still hers no matter what. One of the very few friends, that's why she agreed to come down.
"I just feel that it has been some time since the last banquet. I need to resolve this change as soon as possible so that we can have another banquet..." The red and white miko's eyes wandered.
"I also want to see how this giant plant is grown, and I want to ask the person involved if there is any way to use this technology in mushroom cultivation..." The black and white witch also had wandering eyes.
Their goals are not simple, and they both have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
It's not a big plot, it's more like a whim or a whim. It's nothing more than the idea of taking some benefits along the way. But precisely because of this, it is unrealistic to expect them to have long-lasting motivation and sufficient patience.
After more than a week of diligent investigation and running around, but with no results, they all became frustrated, and their previous enthusiasm quickly evaporated.
"Hey! I wasn't interested in that tree from the beginning, but I still persisted anyway?"
Seeing the listlessness of the two, Alice was slightly dissatisfied. She had been running around in Gensokyo these days and never came home. Can these two teammates be worthy of her seriousness and hard work?
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm still a human being, and I can't compare with you, Xiao Ai..."
The little black and white witch was lying on the floor of the shrine, waving her hands nonchalantly: "How can the profession of being a magician be the same as the race of being a magician? I am still practicing hard... Well, it seems that there will be more in the future. I ate some mushrooms, is it true that the magic power accumulated is still not enough?"
Probably not long ago, I saw Miss Flower Demon's simple magic cannon in the sun flower field.
She felt that her own firepower was nothing compared to her.
The flower demon girl across from me fired carelessly without taking it seriously. The brilliance of the beam of light seemed to be able to dim the sun by three points in an instant. This was the risk of heating the Bagua furnace to the point of explosion, and I would definitely not be able to release it. Super firepower...
So at that moment, Marisa Kirisame, who was deeply frustrated, also seriously reflected on whether she had not worked hard enough. From this point of view, the number of mushrooms she would eat every day would need to be increased... She secretly encouraged herself, as a future person As an adult girl, she is still of human origin. If she wants to accumulate magic power faster, she can only rely on increasing her intake.
Isn’t this the original saying?
——For example, in the Western magic system, there is the concept of "potions";
——In the practice of Eastern Immortalism, there has always been a term "elixir".
In short, if the skill is not enough and the medicine is enough, it is still necessary to take drugs. The little witch feels that she still has a bright future relying on the specialty mushrooms in the magic forest. From now on, eating more every day and accumulating more magic power will be a rare growth!
Just talking about mushrooms...
Alice, who was sitting in the corridor outside, frowned slightly. She remembered some unpleasant things. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but ask: "Speaking of which, Marisa, those mushrooms of yours are really good." Won’t it have some weird side effects?”
"Really not, Xiao Ai, didn't I tell you before?"
Marisa Kirisame suddenly sat up and looked at the blonde girl in confusion, "The most side effect of those magic mushrooms is that they make people see some hallucinations. That's it for us. I have eaten all the mushrooms in the forest. Absolutely no exceptions!”
When talking about this issue, her tone was very firm, revealing a vague sense of expertness.
When I just left Kirisame's house and moved into the Magic Forest, I lived by eating mushrooms!
"..."
"..."
"That's it..."
Alice fell silent for a moment.
There are no other side effects, which means that the strange abnormalities he had before were not caused by mushrooms... So what is going on? Is it possible that it is his fault?
"What's wrong, little love?" the little witch asked curiously. This was the second time Alice had confirmed this question to herself.
"nothing……"
The blonde girl suddenly felt a little upset, but she didn't want to continue thinking about this issue that concerned her. She just turned her head again, trying to control the unfamiliar emotions in her heart, and at the same time looked at the book open in her hand, which was a picture. Hand drawn map of Gensokyo.
After taking a quick look, the blond girl changed the subject as calmly as possible and said:
"We have currently eliminated the Sunflower Field, Monster Mountain, and the Lost Bamboo Forest. The next places that are still suspected are the Magic Forest and the Lake of Mist. They are all characterized by their vast areas and sufficient space. Let the world tree grow."
"Unless the tree grows in the sky, or grows in hell, otherwise, excluding other realms, these two places are probably the only ones left in Gensokyo, which is more doubtful... "
"Based on Remilia's ability and Pachi's divination, we can roughly determine these two directions. Now they go back to the Lake of Mist to investigate on their own, and we are going to the Magic Forest next..."
"..."
Listening to Alice's analysis, the little black and white witch curled her lips: "The Enchanted Forest is so big. Maybe that idiot vampire Remy can come over and help us after investigating the Lake of Mist... Of course, if They just happened to be lucky enough to catch the mastermind behind it, so that’s another story.”
Boss battles are always more troublesome...
This is the experience accumulated from previous mutations. Even those gods, big monsters, moon-faced people, etc., have not really taken it seriously. They only reveal the tip of the iceberg of true power, which is extremely exaggerated...
"Then let's see who is luckier." Reimu Hakurei finally sat up. The listless miko stretched herself and said, "Let's set off early, before it's too late. I should be able to...eh?"
A bundle of newspapers was swept by the whirlwind and air-dropped into the shrine without any warning.
The violent impact was like launching an air-to-ground missile.
And the wind god girl who roared towards her immediately chose to escape instantly after completing the airdrop, disappearing from the horizon in less than a second.
"..."
"..."
"Why is it that damn Crow Tengu again!" Reimu Hakurei rubbed the forehead that was hit by the newspaper and said angrily, then looked at the bundle of newspapers on the ground, "But today's newspaper is not from Did you? She found some big news again...Eh? "
On the newspaper page, large photos occupied the field of view, and the background was very familiar.
"Isn't this the Enchanted Forest? Hey, it seems to be my little love's home!" Marisa Kirisame poked her head around, and after just one glance, she realized that the photos on the page were very familiar.
Isn't that the Enchanted Forest?
It was the place where I settled down. Did something happen when I and others just went to the Monster Mountain to fight? ...Oh, wait, it turns out that there is a problem in Xiao Ai's house, not in his own house, then it will be fine!
"What?"
Alice, who didn't pay much attention at first, was naturally stunned for a moment.
In the additional news papers, there are actually two large photos on the page.
The first photo shows a young man in white clothes and black hair and a girl with silver hair and silver eyes, standing opposite each other in the forest, as if they are confronting something. The former seems to be explaining something, but the latter looks amazing, "ferocious" "Baba" stared at the other side.
As for the second photo...
It is a distant view, and you can see that it is still inside the magical forest. The Doll's House in the background proves to be the same area, but there is no forest around, leaving only a tragic scene like the scorched earth of doomsday, with countless trees wiped out. Can't even burn...
The terrain has obviously sunk a lot, like nails struck by a huge hammer.
It collapsed for miles around.
Shemei Maruwen's photography skills are very good, and the framing is also very exquisite. Just from the photos, the "terrible", "tragic" and "ferocious" momentum he wants to express can be faintly revealed! The cleverly swapped order of the two photos creates a very intuitive illusion for all newspaper readers -
last moment.
The two are still confronting each other, one is weakly explaining, the other is pressing forward fiercely and dissatisfied...
next moment.
Everything around was reduced to ashes, as if a violent force had descended, giving life equal destruction. The scene seemed to have been bombarded by countless missiles in turn, riddled with holes and desolate...
In this case, it does not require too much association ability to naturally come up with a terrifying plot.
"...!!"
Alice's face turned pale almost as soon as she saw the photo.
Why is this happening...
what's going on……
Why did mom come here at this time? Did you even run into this person? Why would you attack him?
Wait, she has always been very paranoid when it comes to her own problems... She just couldn't stand her excessive and heavy love, so she secretly ran out of the demon world, determined never to do it again. She will go there, hide her identity as the princess of the demon world, and live quietly in Gensokyo.
Could it be that the current situation is...
My mother came over after a long absence. She wanted to know more about her current situation, and at the same time, she also learned about the specialness of this person?
After all, even I felt that my attitude towards this person was strange, and I was upset about it for a long time. So what would my mother think after knowing this and hearing about this situation in the human world? Is she just so angry about this that she would do such a terrible thing...
My mind is blank...
That person... that person... just died like that?
At this moment, the blond girl didn't know what she was thinking. She just stood up unsteadily and rushed towards the magic forest with a pale face.
"Hey, Xiao Ai! Xiao Ai! What's wrong? What happened?"
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Marisa Kirisame from behind yelled a few times in confusion, but received no response, so she could only quickly grab her broom.
Reimu Hakurei also looked puzzled, but he could only sigh and fly over.
