Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Fortunately, Chu Bai's chanting speed hadn't become rusty. Just as Reimu was about to be defeated, and Remilia and Sasa reformed a pincer attack from the left and right.

The circular magic array symbolizing supreme magic finally lit up beneath Chu Bai's feet!

"Supreme Magic—'Elemental Torrent'!"

The chanting ended.

The magic array flickered.

Accompanied by Chu Bai's voice, the entire world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The surrounding air pressure suddenly increased, and the scattered elements in the atmosphere began to stir restlessly. The pressure from a completely chanted supreme magic was so great that even Shinki felt somewhat solemn.

She finally stopped holding back, and with all her power, a purple-red aura shot straight into the sky. And beneath the distant night sky, a massive wave shimmering with colorful light finally swept in with overwhelming force!

First, a giant wave formed from fire elements crashed down with the force of a falling sky.

Each tiny ripple had the power that ordinary magic could hardly achieve. Every undulation of the wave possessed the power of elements condensed to their limit!

Then came a wave of thunder, with raging lightning!

A tide of trees, suffocating poisonous mist!

A wave of gilded gold, tearing flesh into a thousand pieces!

The breath of a cold tide, piercing to the bone!

A wave of angry rock, shaking mountains and shattering stones!

This was the complete version of Elemental Torrent. It turned the elements of the entire world into its own use, relentlessly striking the enemy like a tide. And each attack was more oppressive and powerful than the last!

Surrounded by the waves, Shinki felt like she was facing a duel with the elements of the entire world!

"Yin-Yang Ghost God Orb!"

"Gungnir!"

"Ultimate Spark · Modified Version!!"

The other killing moves arrived at the same time. The two great treasures echoed each other, and the three powers of youkai, spirit, and demon merged together, fiercely blasting towards Shinki in the center.

Of course, Shinki wouldn't be so arrogant as to take it head-on. Facing everyone's full-force attack, she finally unleashed her ultimate technique.

"Final Sign—'God-Demon Meridian Kirara Judgement'!"

But before the final sign's effects could fully unfold, a deafening explosion rang out.

The chaos of elements and the entanglement of different energies jointly constructed this massive firework.

Rumble——————!!!

The rumbling gradually subsided.

Smoke and dust dissipated.

Reimu, Remilia, and Sasa were all clutching their respective spell cards, and Chu Bai also began a new round of chanting.

However, Shinki herself no longer had the will to fight.

"...Although I said to fight to our heart's content, launching ultimate moves right from the start is really quite impolite."

Having taken four people's killing moves head-on,

Even Shinki was a bit disheveled, her originally delicate and cute face covered in dirt.

Seeing that she had no intention of continuing the fight, everyone finally withdrew their attacks.

Chu Bai, sweating, said:

"After all, we're in a hurry. If we followed the traditional pace, I'm afraid this plot wouldn't end even after two more chapters."

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

Shinki sighed, and a look of sadness appeared in her eyes again:

"Alas, at such a wonderful moment during the Summer Night Festival, I'm actually abandoned by my dear daughter. This is really like Spider-Man riding a horse—"

"How so?"

"—Marry a Peter!"

"Oh, you're quite fashionable too."

……

……

Seeing Chu Bai and Shinki start doing stand-up comedy like that,

Reimu couldn't help but cough a couple of times, signaling him to get back on topic.

Chu Bai finally reacted and asked seriously:

"So, Mrs. Shinki, can you tell us any clues about Yakumo Yukari?"

Having vented her emotions a little, Shinki seemed more satisfied:

"Actually, I don't know Yakumo Yukari's exact location, but I can sense that she's clearly injured."

"And when we happened to meet a few days ago, she had... the aura of your master on her."

The aura of his master?

Chu Bai was slightly stunned, then a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

He completely trusted his master, after all, she was the one who brought him up step by step, saving his entire life like a family member.

But his master herself was the type of person who didn't stay in one place, and he had no idea where she was at all. Even as a disciple, he had no way to investigate.

So things were still at a dead end, and the clues seemed to have stopped here.

Fortunately, Chu Bai still had the reasoning ability of a detective. After thinking for a moment, he had an inspiration.

"I remember not long ago, Yakumo Yukari parachuted into the Underground Palace, giving Komeiji Satori three million in funding."

"Although I don't know what kind of shady p* transactions are involved, Satori probably knows something."

Chu Bai muttered.

Remilia spoke up from the side:

"So, are we going to the Underground Palace next?"

"No, we'd better split up."

Chu Bai pondered for a long time and made a decision:

"One team goes to the Underground Palace to investigate information from Satori."

"The other team goes through the Magic Forest, then the Road of Reconsideration, to the Hall of Right and Wrong in the Netherworld to ask Shiki Eiki for help."

"After all, Yakumo Yukari is an important figure in Gensokyo. If she goes missing, the Netherworld will definitely help to find her, and their search efficiency is very high."

Speaking of this, Chu Bai suddenly remembered that Shiki Eiki seemed to still owe him a favor.

But it was a bit of a waste to use such a precious favor on finding an old hag, so he didn't show Shiki's keepsake.

Marisa nodded:

"I understand, then Marisa and I will be a team, and Remilia, you and Reimu will be a team."

"...Huh? Why?"

As a result, this grouping immediately caused dissatisfaction from Reimu and Remilia.

Remilia took the initiative to say:

"Chu Bai promised me that we would be together for the entire Summer Night Festival."

Marisa said with a grin:

"But this is no longer within the scope of the Summer Night Festival, but on the way to complete a commission."

"As a fellow member of the detective agency, I definitely have to be with my boss."

"This..."

Just as Remilia was thinking of a reason, Reimu suddenly interjected:

"I refuse. Chu Bai is also a festival guardian, specifically responsible for handling emergencies during the festival, so he definitely can't be wandering around with his employees."

"That's right, that's right!"

The young lady echoed, but then Reimu snorted:

"So, he should team up with me, the guardian, after all, we are true colleagues, and it is only natural to be in the same team."

"That's righ... um?"

Remilia finally realized that Reimu didn't have good intentions either.

She couldn't help but get anxious:

"Don't argue, there's such a thing as first come, first served. This lady is Chu Bai's real teammate!"

"Then I'll say it's based on closeness, I'm Chu Bai's closest subordinate!"

"Ha, I was the first person he met after entering Gensokyo, no matter how you look at it, it should be me!"

The three girls argued back and forth.

Suddenly, as if telepathically, they all looked at Chu Bai at the same time:

"Chu Bai, you decide! Who do you want to be teammates with?"

...Good grief, are we doing this again?

Chu Bai blinked, but he wasn't flustered at all.

Because he had already transformed into a high-EQ individual, confident in his ability to fully coordinate with everyone.

So, he put his left arm around Marisa and his right arm around Reimu and Remilia, showing a very gentle smile:

"I won't choose, because you are all my wings!"

"...???"

The three girls were all stunned by this scumbag's statement.

Shinki, on the other hand, brought a small bench and sat next to them, eating melon seeds.

At the same time, she was secretly glad that Koishi wasn't a member of this guy's harem. Otherwise, she, as a mother, would really be heartbroken and unable to breathe, even losing her mind.

"But after all, we have to make two preparations. Although it's regrettable, we still need to split up."

Chu Bai said, taking out four playing cards from his pocket, shuffling them at light speed, and placing them face down in front of everyone:

"So, let's let fate decide."

"The two people who draw the same suit will be in the same group. That should be no problem, right?"

Chapter 177: The Underground Palace Family Bucket is Brutally Ravaged! (4.1K)

Under the night sky.

The wind howled.

The early summer night was still incredibly cool, especially when flying at high altitude, you could still feel gusts of coolness.

Chu Bai was flying, controlling his magic, and his teammate for this trip was next to him.

"Looks like my luck is pretty good."

Reimu flew in the air, a satisfied smile on her face.

After drawing cards just now, she and Chu Bai were in the same group, going to the Underground Palace together to investigate.

And Remilia and Marisa were in the same group, going to the Netherworld to seek the help of the Yama.

So, Reimu happily followed Chu Bai, and even showed a Tom cat-style mocking expression to the other two girls, as if to show off.

Chu Bai couldn't help but laugh a little:

"I feel like you're a little too excited..."

"You're wrong~"
