Chapter 663 Chapter of Paradise

"..."

Othinus swallowed what she wanted to say, and her eyes became slightly vigilant.

The shade in the bookstore is not diminished, and because the lights are not turned on, the light is quite dim.It wasn't like this before, but this street has also been rectified recently, and the nearby buildings are now blocking the sun's deflected rays——

It is good that Aleister can keep this bookstore untouched, but there is no reason to consider the lighting conditions inside this bookstore in terms of urban planning.

Although Kamijou Touma has been cleaning here, he obviously has no extra mood to stay, so he didn't care about it.

However, for the one-eyed demon girl, these things are nothing at all.

Not to mention that the store was only dark and dark, even if it was pitch black with no light at all, it would have no effect on her observations.

She naturally possesses the five human senses such as vision, hearing, and touch, but her perception doesn't just rely on such sensory perception.

So she was very sure that when she lowered her head in contemplation and then raised her head, there was no movement for a few seconds.

Othinus didn't notice when Mu Xiu left here, and he also didn't notice when the girl in pure white kimono appeared, so——it seems natural that there is only one explanation.

After all, he is a demon god, he has seen a lot, and he has not seen any strange things in countless times when countless worlds were born and died.

Therefore, she wasn't too surprised by this possibility, but raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and then returned to normal, on the surface she was completely calm.

Because she is not sure whether this is the expression of another possible image of the other party, or simply another side of existence itself.

The difference is quite huge. After all, if it is only the former, then it is just like in myths and legends, those holy immortals and Buddhas have tens of billions of incarnations, walking in the world with different faces and images, but this is nothing but "appearanceless Taoism".

Just like the expression of "the past and the future are one" and "coexistence of infinite time and space", "the Taoization without appearance" is just a mythological feature.

Even if there are tens of billions of incarnations and different avatars, it will not have any effect on the essence.It is like a towering giant tree with countless branches and roots, but it is not rooted in the ordinary soil layer, but entrenched in the great thousand time and space.

And the countless branches and roots are intertwined, and they are also extending in the direction of countless time and space dimensions. What people in any time and space can observe is only a temporal cross-section of a branch or a tree root.

——Therefore, the results of observations are often different, and they are infinite and ubiquitous.

But in any case, the cross-sections of these roots and branches are part of the body of the tree of time and space, no matter how it is changed, this fact is hardened by iron, and it will not be easily changed.

However, if it is the other side of existence itself, then we need to be a little more cautious.

Because to put it bluntly, this is very likely to be somewhat similar to the dual personality of ordinary people, and although dual personality is not necessarily harmful, it is undeniable that the danger in this aspect is indeed a little greater.

So Othinus didn't speak rashly, but just frowned and observed the girl in pure white kimono——

The breath is gentle and calm, without any difference.

There is no premonition of danger, but nothing can be explained.

There is no power, but this is precisely the embodiment of power beyond the concept of "power".

Just when she was frowning and thinking this way, the girl in the pure white kimono had already stopped in her tracks. She stretched out her slender hand and pulled a book out of the shelf, gently put it aside, and then put a book Books of unknown origin were put back in place instead.

Then, as if she appeared only to do this, she turned around and walked straight out the door.

"Guian."

On the way, she whispered this to Othinus who was sitting at the counter.

"...Gui An."

Slightly squinting her eyes, the one-eyed girl replied in a low voice, and then watched the girl in pure white kimono walk into the store and onto the street outside.

It seems that it is not the same...personality?
Othinus didn't say anything, just lowered her head and thought about it, and then she seemed to have captured something crucial.

Immediately afterwards, the girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old jumped off the chair and ran to the bookshelf where the girl in kimono was standing just now.Then she tiptoed, raised her hands, and grabbed the book.

At the moment when her fingertips touched the spine of the book, the one-eyed girl raised her eyebrows slightly, because she sensed some kind of abnormal fluctuation sweeping across her entire existence in an instant.

Next, there is a feeling of some kind of force being activated, trying to suck yourself away.

The surrounding scenery also began to become blurred as if a layer of special filter effect had been added.

Not only is the space blurred, but even time seems to be stagnant at this moment. For ordinary people, it is only a split second, but it is enough for the demon god to look carefully and think clearly——

Because she can clearly see the runes woven into some kind of rules in the void, one ring after another, and she is not unfamiliar with this, because it is the original rune script, which seems to be imprinted in time and space by someone in the gap.

This is a precursor to the imminent replacement of time and space. The essence of this book seems to be a hidden portal, and it is unknown where it leads.

But if Othinus wanted, she could stop the process at any time... But why should she stop it?
Although it is not clear what kind of destination is on the opposite side of this teleportation point, there is no reason for the other party to set up such a node inexplicably. Therefore, Othinus wants to go and have a look.

Besides, no matter what kind of place she is facing, she has the confidence to face everything without any taboos.After all, as long as the "Spear of the Lord God" is held in her hand, she is a complete demon god with unlimited power.

Unless she meets a real god, otherwise, she doesn't feel that she will be in any danger.

But this is impossible, after all, one has already met, and the other is wrestling with the former, and the two sides are negating each other.As long as this situation does not change for a day, it is impossible for another god to appear in this world.

——To be precise, in Mu Xiu's "world", there are no other gods.

Now that Othinus has met Mu Xiu, isn't the "world" she is in obvious enough?So no matter which universe or time and space she goes to, it is impossible for her to encounter the existence of another god, and it is impossible for the other party to attack her in a targeted manner.

Because unless Mu Xiu no longer denies the existence of the opponent, or...the opponent has already won the confrontation.But no matter which of these two possibilities is good, it is not what Othinus should care about.

Therefore, she didn't feel that there would be any danger on the other side at all, but she just wanted to explore it with great interest.

Therefore, she didn't have any resistance, just obediently let that force pull her over - as if the surrounding scene time and space had completely changed in a blink of an eye.

……

……

This is the uninhabited border area of ​​the Eastern Kingdom.

A long time ago, there was a horrible legend: people who entered here would lose their way and be eaten by monsters in the end.People call this place "Fantasy Township", and no one dares to approach it...

People are afraid of monsters, and some brave people often appear to destroy monsters.Among those brave people, some of them settled down in Gensokyo in order to monitor youkai so that they would no longer come to human-inhabited villages.

During this time, the battle between monsters and humans continued day and night.This legend is often heard in this mountain country, and it is not a rare rumor.

That era also believed that place actually existed.

With the passage of time, after more than 1000 years, the era of monsters ended, and the era of humans came—human civilization flourished.Humans are no longer afraid of the dark,

Because humans have been able to create things that can illuminate their surroundings even at night.

Human beings completely blindly believe in materialistic science, and exclude the non-scientific world, that is, the world of monsters and ghosts, etc., as superstition.

It is also considered that Gensokyo is no longer necessary for the human world, so the legendary yokai sage, the most youkai-like youkai, created a huge barrier that could not be unraveled again to seal Gensokyo.

Since then, the history of the intersection of humans and monsters in the outside world has been terminated.

Before long, no one in the outside world knew of the existence of Gensokyo.

I don't know how long after that, in Gensokyo, just like back then, there are many youkai and very few humans living there.Monsters and gods have developed their own civilization here.

In this way, the history of humans and monsters opened a new page.

At first glance, it looks like a natural environment and a very mature civilization built by the creatures that live here.From the perspective of people in the human world, this place seems to be a peaceful paradise without any disputes.

——This paradise will continue to exist until the day when the god who watched this paradise falls.

……

……

The early morning light shines on the vast land of Gensokyo, dyeing the morning scenery with a layer of gorgeous golden brilliance.

The sunlight shines through the layers of tree branches, casting speckled projections on the slightly steep path in the mountains. Accompanied by the sound of slight footsteps, two young girls are walking on the path in the mountains.

Looking at the dilapidated old wooden steps that have appeared at the end of the line of sight, as well as the stone brick surface covered with moss and moss, and the torii of the Hakurei Shrine.

One of the silver-haired girls couldn't help but complained in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "Huiyin, we came too early, the banquet hasn't started yet... No, it's not ready yet."

Her upper body is a white formal shirt, and her lower body is a pair of overalls-like trousers with suspenders, with many strange charms stuck on them.There are many bows tied in the hair, and a big bow behind the head.

"Is there any problem with coming early? Can you help me prepare—"

The girl with blue and white hair, wearing a hat like a bento box, and a blue one-piece dress said faintly: "Besides, if I didn't catch you just now, sister Hong, you are going to find Princess Kaguya again." Let's fight!"

"No... Cough, I don't think about that bitch all day long."

Fujiwara-sister's red face froze slightly, then she coughed lightly and said so.

"Really? It was only hurt like this yesterday..." She glanced at Meihong with some doubts. Huiyin obviously didn't believe her words. After all, she had heard such things a lot over the years.

"Huiyin, you don't have to worry, wait...look ahead, did someone stray into the animal path by mistake?"

Meihong, who realized that this topic was not good for her, quickly changed the subject.She looked forward, and then her eyes lit up, because she saw an apparently strange figure hovering on the mountain road ahead.

Sighing, Huiyin, who seemed helpless at Meihong's actions, shook her head, and then she frowned slightly.
