Chapter 665 God will punish those who ignore its majesty and stuff money boxes!
"Sorry, I don't have any money."

In this strange atmosphere of confrontation, the one-eyed girl rejected Hakurei Reimu's request with a very plain sentence.

But this is also the meaning of the question, she is not deliberately trying to evade, but really never has the habit of carrying money with her, and she is new here, and she doesn't know what kind of coins are used in this place.

Originally, I thought there was hope if the other party didn't directly refuse, so the beautiful maiden of the paradise always wore a commercial smile with the legendary attribute of "increasing the success rate of donating money by 50.00%".

There was a look of eager longing in the calmness, and he stared at the lovely one-eyed girl in front of him without blinking.

However, he did not expect such a result to be obtained in the end.

"..."

"..."

So, the moment she heard the answer, the expression on her face completely froze and disappeared.

After staring at each other in silence for a long time, Hakurei Reimu, who confirmed what kind of answer she got, sighed regretfully without any concealment, and returned to her usual indifferent expression.

"Then, what are you guys doing here so early in the morning... Let me tell you in advance, I have no preparations for a banquet or anything like that, the vixen from Yakumo's house and the head maid from the Scarlet Devil Mansion haven't come yet."

She looked like she wanted to get rid of the relationship completely, with a deadpan expression, she almost didn't directly serve tea to see off the guests.

However, serving tea to see off guests had to prepare the tea first, such a troublesome and obviously useless thing, the Red and White Miko would definitely not do it.

——All in all, the act of serving tea is avoided, but the gesture of seeing off guests can be reflected.

"Reimu, we are here to help with the preparations..." Shangbaizawa Huiyin smiled softly and said softly.

"I came here mainly to ask about the deity enshrined in this shrine. Tell me, what is His true inscription?"

But Othinus didn't pretend at all, Hakuryo Miko was expressionless, and she was even more expressionless, saying so in a natural tone.

The deity enshrined in the shrine?Really really Ming?
Faced with such a question, after thinking for a long time, the red and white witch frowned and said, "Who knows, anyway, I don't know these things."

"Wait, you don't know? Can you be a witch?" Othinus was a little surprised. Can this guy be a priest?Isn't it too incompetent?
"It's okay, it's fine if you get used to it." Hakurei Reimu obviously replied casually.

"Xi, are you used to it?" It's not only Othinus who is facing such an answer, the whole group has strange expressions.

"That's right, the previous priestesses didn't say anything about it... Maybe they didn't."

After thinking for a while, Hakurei Reimu replied slowly, "I also forgot about the ancestor priestess. It seems that I forgot a lot of things when I was young, but since I forgot, it must be a trivial matter."

She scratched her hair vigorously, and then quickly looked disapproving again.

"..."

"..."

Kamishirasawa Huiyin and Fujiwara Meihong looked at each other strangely, but Othinus frowned slightly. After she lowered her head and thought for a while, she asked again:

"Then about this shrine, are there any precepts or decrees handed down from the gods?"

Priestesses who are priests are unreliable, and it is obviously impossible for this shrine to have other priests or priestesses, so the one-eyed girl can only be sidelined from other aspects.

She was keenly aware that this might be a rare opportunity.

Because that guy said that he will not deliberately read the future, which means that he still has a certain amount of time to freely explore this world... and the laws he created.

Othinus was able to read the message of the "box", the rules, the origin, and the trend of evolution. All the signs in this world show that this is very likely to be that guy's dream of ruling the world, an ideal world .

If she can rely on her own ability to decipher the principle of governing the world and the divine law of non-duality, then maybe she can really glimpse the possibility of going one step further and touching the supreme seat.

The "seat" of God that flows out of everything, for example, is like the dragon chair of the ancient emperor.

For countless ordinary people who can only plan their food in the ground all their lives, it is something that they have never heard of, let alone speculate and imagine.

But for demon gods who are comparable to "holy" in the true sense and have also touched the level of fate, they are equivalent to civil and military officials above the court. People behind know that the dragon chair is in front, and those in front People can even see the "seat".

However, being able to see does not mean being able to sit on it.

But in the same way, everyone has been able to see the "seat", who really doesn't have the idea of ​​being able to sit on it, and who doesn't have the ambition to become a god dubbed the concept of "Almighty"?

There may be such people, but there are really few, because if people really hold such thoughts, it is impossible to become a true seeker.

Seekers seek different things, but without exception, they are the "Tao" that everyone is looking for.

This is beyond doubt.

The same is true for Othinus, who is unwilling to turn back because he has the powerful power to reorganize the world at will. Even if the desired thing is not in front of him, he only cares about creating the "next world".

——She used the scenery in her mind as a blueprint, and desperately shaped the world according to it.

Othinus just rushed forward, but in the end he completely forgot what kind of world he lived in.Because she was afraid of her own power, she once gave up her own power.

However, she has always longed to return to "the exclusive world that only she knows".She worries that the supposedly perfect world isn't really perfect, so she wants to add to her published work.

So in order to become a "demon god", she took back the power she had given up on herself from Orels...

But she still didn't get what she expected, because she originally hoped for an "understander", hoping that in this somewhat different world, someone could understand——

No matter where she is, she is always a terrifying tyrant who spreads death and tyranny, the pain of alienation of being alone, but so far no such person has appeared.

Even the guy whose real identity is God is not her "understander".

Rather, she couldn't understand the other party in turn.

But it was the appearance of such an existence that made her see another kind of hope.The flaws of the demon god are too great, and the distorted world may not be able to recover, but the real god is different, there is nothing that cannot be done, right?

Like this weird Xanadu, maybe the core of that guy's utopia of world domination.

If he could grasp that possibility, then Othinus believed that he would also be able to truly create an absolutely perfect governance that only he knew, and he would not need to worry about anything.

This is the "Tao" she has been pursuing.

……

……

Regarding this shrine, are there any precepts or decrees handed down from the gods?

"Have!"

Faced with such a question, this time Hakurei Reimu said categorically, staring straight at the one-eyed girl in front of her.

"Eh?"

Othinus, who couldn't help but meditate, was taken aback for a moment, and then felt that his brain couldn't handle it.

After all, she was just asking casually, she didn't have any hope, and she never thought that she could really get any valuable clues from this unreliable witch.

And what is going on with such a tone and momentum that is about to sacrifice for the faith?

——Could it be that that guy really left some commandments like the "Ten Commandments" that even such a money-grubbing priestess must take seriously?
Countless thoughts flashed through Othinus' mind, but on the surface he remained calm, just watching Hakurei Reimu calmly, waiting for her answer.

Kamishirasawa Huiyin and Fujiwara Meihong behind them also held their breath subconsciously, and there was more or less curiosity or anticipation in their eyes

In this silence, the red and white witch once again raised the money box in her hand high, as if she was reading the "Bible", like an extremely devout believer, and said loudly——

"God will punish those who ignore His majesty and stuff money boxes!"

"..."

"..."

This is basically extortion, and will God really send down punishment for such a small matter?

Othinus took a deep breath, and then felt a headache.She suddenly had a premonition that her style of acting might not be compatible with the style of painting in this world.

It's like a character from the hot-blooded and kingly battle series, who suddenly entered the world of the funny series.

It was a deep sense of powerlessness, even if it had the power to destroy the sun, destroy the planets and destroy the universe, it was useless.Because high force has no advantage at all in the face of immorality and nonsense.

Specifically, you are serious, but the other party is not serious.

If you are full of fighting spirit and are expressing your ambitions and grand ambitions like a rainbow, when the person opposite is picking your nose and disgusting you while declaring victory, ask you to finish talking quickly so that he can return dinner at home——

In that case, no matter how powerful the momentum is, no matter how firm the will is, it will only be punctured like a balloon, and it will be completely discouraged.

Not serious at all.

"When does the banquet start, is anyone coming back?"

After being silent for a while, the one-eyed girl turned around, ignored the red and white witch holding the money box, and just looked at Kamibaizawa Huiyin and asked.

Although it is said that this witch is unreliable, other people should always be reliable. There is no reason to say that a Gensokyo in Nuoda is a person without integrity.

"The preparations haven't started yet, at least until noon..."

Shangbaize Huiyin thought for a while and gave such an answer.

"As for who will come, I can't say for sure. Some people should come to every banquet, and some people may not come."

"..."

Othinus couldn't help frowning, but she couldn't do anything about it. The rules here made her feel a certain feeling called "hands and feet" that she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Are you interested in the gods enshrined in the shrine? Or is this matter important to you?"

Seeing this, Shangbaize Huiyin asked tentatively.

"...No, in fact, I am more interested in the origin of this world." The one-eyed girl said indifferently, "I am just a little curious, because I doubt the god enshrined in this shrine... I know him."

"..."

"..."

"Do you know the gods enshrined in the Hakuli Shrine?" Shangbaize Huiyin couldn't help twitching the corners of her lips, Wen Wanru also felt that this matter was a bit nonsense.

However, she was very wise not to argue with the other party on this matter, but after thinking about it, she said: "If you can't wait and want to understand the whole Gensokyo as soon as possible, then let's go to the barnyard fields in the village now." let's go home."

"Okay, let's go." Othinus nodded in response without asking what the Hieda family does.

The three quickly turned around and went down the mountain.

Only the Hakurei Miko who held the money box high was left, staying in place and maintaining that posture, like a solidified stone sculpture.
