"Sss~~~! How did we get to this place!?"
The girls in Gensokyo stopped on their way and looked at the endless sea of flowers in front of them in surprise.
This place is different from the cherry blossom forest at the foot of Hakurei Mountain, which is a light pink red; nor is it the fragrant sunflower field, which is a bright golden color. The flowers here are as bright red as blood. Large flowers are blooming layer by layer. The long and narrow petals stretch and twist wantonly, and the claw-like stamens are dancing arrogantly with their claws. When they bloom, Beautiful and eerie.
Between the wilderness and the sea of flowers, there is a not-so-wide river. It passes through the foot of the hills and divides the field of flowers into two halves. When looking towards the other side of the river, the sight cannot reach far. On that side, apart from the vast sea of flowers, there is a deep darkness that makes people feel frightened...
Higanbana and the Santo River, this is the boundary between the living and the dead, and it is also the home of every soul in Gensokyo after death.
"What do you think, uncle won't be on the other side of the river, right?!" Soul Youmeng, who newly joined the search team, covered his face and said sheepishly. Because it stands to reason that the underworld should be managed by their White Jade Tower, but... the owner of the White Jade Tower, Xikyoji Yuyuko, has never done anything since she was raised... (I have never done anything before, okay!
The underworld in Gensokyo has always been managed by the Earth Soul Palace. In comparison, the White Jade Tower is more like a redundant department affiliated with the underworld. Soul Youmu is under great pressure every year when he goes to receive benefits.
"My destiny guidance cannot be wrong!" The Lord of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia angrily defended her majesty! "In the name of interfering with fate, show me the way to find...Uncle Lu!" After Remi solemnly declared, she stood the gun Gungnir in her hand on the ground, and then released it—— "Pa-ta~" Zhu Qian fell down. Sure enough, it pointed in the direction of Santu River...
"Ahhhhh~ How could dad cross the Santu River?! Without even saying goodbye, I can't accept it at all! No... why do we have to use this way of searching? Isn't that God? What is the origin of the stick? Gods and things like that obviously don't exist!" As a miko. Hakurei Reimu, who despised the gods, was going crazy without saying anything.
"That's enough for you!" the listless Horaiyama Kaguya yelled with the same bad temper! "I'm very tired! Besides, Fujiwara Meihong is also missing! Maybe Meihong ran away with her uncle! What are you doing now!"
Then, as Ibuki Suika, Izayoi Sakuya, Cirno (eh??) and others joined in one after another, the girls became a quarrel in an instant!
…
It is really the pressure of time and the fatigue of searching that overwhelms these girls who spend their days leisurely.
Although in terms of the passage of time, only an hour had passed since they were admiring Playboy in Lu Yuan's cabin and then found the message asking for help until they arrived at the shore of Santu River.
But in fact, under the cover of Kaguya Horaisan's ability to "change the speed of local time passage". They have been searching for Gensokyo for a full twenty-four hours! During this period, they had carefully searched both the Eternal Pavilion and the Lost Home, and new friends continued to join them along the way - such as Orange Cat from the Lost Home, Rabbit from the Eternal Pavilion, and Meng from Baiyulou, etc. Wait, the search team is constantly growing.
Not only that, those powerful big monsters, such as Yashi Eirin of Eutei, Yakumo Murasaki of Lost House, Moriya Shrine of Youkai Mountain, Yuyuko Saigyouji of Hakutama Tower, etc., were all alarmed. Perhaps for one reason or another, they also joined the search for Lu Yuan. However, they did not join the search group composed of girls and young girls, but started searching in their own way. It can be said that this moment. The monsters throughout Gensokyo have been mobilized!
The search team led by Hakurei Reimu served as the main force, and Shomeimarufumi led the Crow Tengu to convey the message. The big monsters and the wealthy families in the human world launched their own forces one after another... It was just the reincarnations of Gensokyo. Now they are all besieging and killing Fengmi Yuxiang in that nameless valley (they were surrounded and killed by Fengmi Yuxiang...), so I don't know what happened here.
However, fate seems to have been strangely shrouded in a thick layer of fog, making everyone's search in vain. Neither magic prophecy nor destiny guidance seemed able to bring them to Lu Yuan. At this time, after running around all day and accumulating a lot of negative emotions, the tired and hungry friends finally had a fierce conflict!
"No! Remi. It must be your problem!"
Continuously displaying the ability to manipulate time, Kaguya Horaiyama consumes the most among the people. Suddenly I felt enlightened! She ignored the fatigue on her body and violently pushed away the few people in front of her. He grabbed Remilia's clothes forcefully and asked. "You are interfering with fate, so we can't find Mei Hong and Uncle Lu, right?!"
The more Horaishan Kaguya thought about it, the more she was right. Without Remilia's manipulation of fate, the rest of them would have been able to fly through the entire Fantasy Township in one whole day. How could they not find Lu Yuan? ! This speaks for itself! The girls in Gensokyo all have their own unique abilities, and Remilia's ability to interfere with fate is one of the most unique abilities. If you think about it carefully, you will find that it can't be anyone else but her!
"I, I didn't!" Remilia was like a kitten whose tail was scratched, her fur exploded and she jumped up! (Shorter...
"Remi...were enemies with Uncle Lu before, right?" Marisa Kirisame, who had seen Remi and Lu Yuan plot against each other and knew the inside story, revealed, and a group of people looked at Remi with wide eyes.
"No, no!" Remi bared her canine teeth and denied angrily. But when she saw that even Hakurei Reimu was rubbing her hands and forcing herself towards her, she had no choice but to give up and yell, "Okay, okay, I admit it!" She stretched her hands forward and floated into the air. Looking at her small chest, she said, "But first of all, I have absolutely no intention of doing anything bad!" But when she thought of what she wanted to say, the two index fingers of Remi's hands involuntarily moved on her chest and began to dodge everyone's attention. Eyes, "Well... my ability to interfere with destiny... is a little bit... flawed. I can only make one thing better or worse, I have no... no way to control the specific results..."
After saying that. Lemi floated on the ground with her head lowered, and two small wings came over from behind to block her head. "It's okay. I believe Remi has tried her best." The dedicated Sakuya Izayoi appeared next to Remi and held her in her arms.
"This..." The girls looked at each other. Especially the two people who are the core of the search team, Hakurei Reimu and Horaizan Kaguya.
Destiny is wonderful. If Remi's ability to "interfere with fate" was to "only make things better" instead of finding Lu Yuan, then the whole thing would be easier to explain. The reason why they keep going around in circles may be precisely because things have not yet reached the "best time". As the saying goes, "It's not that you don't retaliate, but the time has not yet come." ——Because Kaguya interfered with the flow of time. The original hour was stretched into a whole day, so they were actually busy all the time.
If they had not interfered with time, then when the time came to that moment, fate would naturally take them to find Lu Yuan... After having a relationship for a long time, it was not that Lei Mi's ability failed, but that they had been superfluous...
"Why is this happening!" Horaishan Kaguya immediately gave up controlling time and complained. Anyone will feel resentful if they deal with something that is not pleasing to them.
"Let's... let's go in that direction and have a look." Hakurei Reimu had to point in the direction of the Santo River and give his suggestion. Since Remi's ability is not malfunctioning, her guidance should still have some meaning.
So a group of people walked through the flowers all over the mountains and fields. After climbing over the hill in front of us, we came to the shore of Santu River.
"Oha~ Ono!" Marisa Kirisame greeted happily when she saw the girl standing on the boat. He commits crimes throughout Fantasyland. The black and white thief who has a strong curiosity and never gives up, is probably the diplomat who knows the most people in Gensokyo.
This is a girl with double braids and a blue dress. She carries a huge scythe on her shoulders and has confident breasts that girls envy. She was standing on a small boat at this time, talking to a white sphere.
After seeing a group of people coming over, she didn't notice Marisa Kirisame who occasionally harassed her, but she caught sight of Shiratamaru's soul Youmu first, so the girl immediately differentiated in a panic. "Are you here to check the work? I'm definitely not lazy, and I didn't blackmail the ghost for ferry money!" After saying that, he quickly grabbed the white ghost in front of him. He hid behind him and quietly raised the scythe.
Girls...
A long while passed. Marisa Kirisame introduced her with a haha, "This is the ferryman on the Sanzu River, the God of Death Onozuka Komachi-san." Then she whispered to Onozuka Komachi in a low voice, "Please, we are here to find someone, No one came to check the work..."
"Um, hahaha~" Onozuka Komachi scratched her head in embarrassment, "I mean I'm working very hard, so it doesn't matter even if it's an inspection! Everyone, do you want to take a trip to the Santsu River? Half price~”
Marisa took out a portrait, and the person painted on it was actually 78% similar to Lu Yuan (Kaguya, my hand-drawing), "Komachi, help me, have you seen this perverted uncle? Couldn't he already be there?" Have you crossed the river? Can you help him cross back again? Listen to me, he is very rich, he is a rich man!"
After Kirisame Marisa talked a lot, and the girls all looked at Onozuka Komachi with expectant eyes, the natural idiot scratched his cheek in a somewhat awakened voice, and pointed to the white ball floating next to him in embarrassment. He said, "All the people who come to my place are fat and white like this. How do I know what they look like?"
Yes, the souls after death will turn into this white and fat appearance. Who can tell what they looked like in the past? The search seems to be reaching an impasse again.
Just when the girls were looking at each other, the floating white soul suddenly flew over, and he made a rapid "chirp" sound towards Reimu Hakurei. "You...what are you talking about? I won't lend you money!" Seeing Reimu's confused look, Soul turned around and flew in front of Onozuka Komachi, "chirping" loudly.
But Onozuka Komachi is obviously not a good-tempered girl. She has been annoyed by the series of interruptions today, and now she is also being harassed by a soul after death. Suddenly a cross explodes on her head and she starts to explode!
"It's dirt!!! Do you want me to save you now!!!" Onozuka Komachi fiercely pressed her scythe against the soul's "neck"? "I said you are already a dead person, okay?! Let me understand the current situation clearly, and why should I help you strike up a conversation with them! What did you say? It's Lu Yuan again... I don't know who Lu Yuan is! He Does it have anything to do with me whether it's dangerous or not?! Don't bother me with this name anymore, okay?! What h7n9... shut up! You bird flu!"
