Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Under Reimu's serious gaze, Chu Bai reached into his chest and slowly pulled out…

…a used, white, hollowed-out, sexy pair of panties.

Reimu: “…?”

Chapter 189: Teleportation Begins! An Unusual Marisa!

“...Sorry, wrong one.”

After a two-second pause.

Chu Bai silently put the panties back and continued rummaging in his pocket.

Reimu couldn't help but speak up:

“Hey, why do you have something like that on you! Did you become a panty thief in just one month after being a great magician?”

“That’s not it.”

Chu Bai quickly explained:

“This is Marisa's prank, she deliberately stuffed the panties to me!”

“Oh, oh…”

Reimu suddenly realized something was wrong again:

“Wait, why would Marisa give you panties!”

Chu Bai explained again:

“Actually, these panties aren't hers either, they belong to Alice.”

Reimu narrowed her eyes again:

“Then how do you know these are Alice's panties! I feel like there's a lot of information in these few sentences!”

“Ahem, anyway, it's all Marisa's fault…”

After vaguely explaining a few words.

Chu Bai decisively skipped this topic and took out another item.

This time he didn't take the wrong one, a purple crystal ball exuding an ominous aura appeared before the two.

Seeing this, Reimu finally suppressed the urge to complain and looked at the crystal ball seriously.

“This thing… as expected, I can still feel a strong ominous aura…”

……

……

There are currently three known doubts:

1. A long time ago, my master said that Gensokyo was facing an 'unprecedented disaster'.

But she was tight-lipped about what the disaster and the enemy were, and became a riddle-maker.

2. Before the Summer Night Festival, Yakumo Yukari was inexplicably 'injured' and went missing for a while.

But when Chu Bai and Reimu entered the gap, she was safe and sound taking a bath.

3. The origin of this crystal ball exuding an ominous aura.

And whether this crystal ball has anything to do with Master and Yakumo Yukari's plan.

“However, the only clue at the moment is this crystal ball.”

“To investigate the enemy of Gensokyo step by step from this crystal ball, and the plan of Master and Yakumo Yukari, even in a detective novel, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of words…”

Chu Bai sighed helplessly.

Reimu couldn't help but say from the side:

“Yes, I didn’t want to participate in something that looks so troublesome.”

“But the aura of this crystal ball is too ominous, I have a feeling that if I leave it alone, it will cause a big mess, so I thought I could only investigate it first.”

“Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome for me if it caused a bigger mess in the future.”

That's what she said.

But they had no idea how to investigate.

Whether it was using Chu Bai's magical structure or Reimu's spiritual arts to explore, there were no results at all.

It was as if the crystal ball's own level had exceeded the eyes of the two.

“Hey, could this thing be something from outer space?”

Chu Bai said, squinting his eyes:

“Doesn’t this kind of plot often appear in online novels?”

“When the plot develops to a certain point, the author can’t think of how to continue writing, so he just creates a deus ex machina, switches to a new map, and continues to pad the word count with the same old content…”

Reimu shook her head slightly:

“No, although this mysterious crystal ball is difficult to figure out, I have a strange sense of familiarity with this aura.”

“I am a shrine maiden who has never left Gensokyo, so this thing cannot come from the outside, it can only be a product of Gensokyo’s interior.”

“Um… in that case…”

Chu Bai suddenly thought of something.

He reached into his chest again and took out another item.

Similar to the purple crystal ball, the appearance of this item is also spherical. Its whole body emits a faint blue light, and the inner core has a faint pink color.

“Water Star Treasure, Deep Sea Dragon Ball.”

Chu Bai rubbed his chin:

“This thing is also a spherical item, could it have something to do with the purple crystal ball?”

Reimu narrowed her eyes slightly:

“What a ridiculous reason. According to you, my Yin-Yang Orb is also spherical, so is it also related to the purple crystal ball?”

“...It's not like I can't find a starting point.”

Chu Bai sighed and fell into deep thought again.

At this time, he was holding the Deep Sea Dragon Ball in his left hand and the purple crystal ball in his right hand.

While thinking, his two hands opened and closed unconsciously, and the two balls collided together subconsciously.

Of course, considering the consequences of the Deep Sea Dragon Ball shattering, he had already attached magical protection to the surface of the Dragon Ball, so it was impossible to break it no matter what.

But an accident still happened.

Just as the two balls collided, the purple crystal ball suddenly burst into dazzling colors.

The sudden burst of light also startled Chu Bai and Reimu.

“Whoa, light!”

The two became vigilant at the same time, and their powerful perception covered the crystal ball, and various analytical structures were used again.

But before they could further develop their research, the light of the crystal ball suddenly burst out.

Immediately following, was the majestic wave of laws that swept in.

“This is… the power of law!”

“And this wave is a teleportation type!”

Chu Bai decisively made a decision, condensed his magic power, and instantly slammed it on the floor.

The tatami mats in the room immediately shattered, and a complicated magic rune appeared on the ground.

Without giving him further reaction time, the surrounding scene suddenly shook.

The wave symbolizing the teleportation type continuously escaped from the crystal ball.

“Catch!”

At the critical moment, Reimu threw the Yin-Yang Orb in her hand to Chu Bai.

This thing is her family heirloom, even in a place without signal, she can use this thing to communicate remotely with Reimu herself.

Chu Bai caught it accurately, and the next moment, their bodies disappeared from the Hakurei Shrine.

Only this mysterious purple crystal ball was still exuding an ominous aura.

……

……

The weightlessness of teleportation did not last long.

Soon Chu Bai felt that the surrounding environment had become stable again.

Feet on the ground.

Looking around.

This is no longer inside the shrine, but another quite familiar scene.

“...Magic Forest?”

Chu Bai raised his eyebrows in a bit of astonishment.

Just now there was such a big commotion, the crystal ball emitted such a majestic energy…

The result is just teleporting to the Magic Forest?

What a humorous plot that is all thunder and no rain?

But soon, with the subconscious release of perception, Chu Bai immediately noticed the abnormality.

“No, there is a problem with the surrounding environment.”

“It seems a bit… lifeless here.”

As the master of the law of emotions, Chu Bai discovered the problem immediately.

The Magic Forest is usually sparsely populated, but at least there are monsters and magicians living there. Although the air is filled with poisonous fog and spores, you can still feel various emotional powers.

But the current forest is as gloomy and dark as a cemetery… no, even the cemetery in the backyard of Myouren Temple is more sunny than here.

…What's going on?

…Could this purple crystal ball also involve space-time laws?

…Time jump? Parallel world? Or some first or second week IF line?

“That's not right either. Although the origin of the crystal ball is mysterious, with just the energy of this one item, it is absolutely impossible to do things like traveling through time and space.”

Chu Bai thought calmly, and expanded his perception, intending to check the surrounding environment first.

And soon, he sensed a familiar person not far ahead.

“Marisa?”

Seeing the familiar figure of the black and white thief, Chu Bai immediately rushed over.

And showed a peaceful and unrestrained smile:

“Sasa, why are you here too? Aren’t you in charge of buying groceries today?”

As he spoke, he secretly put his left hand behind his back and quietly chanted a magic spell.

As long as Marisa behaves slightly wrong, he will immediately release the attack.

But he still underestimated the strangeness here.

Under a slightly nervous gaze, Marisa slowly turned her head and showed her… face covered with dry wrinkles and blue-gray blood vessels.

Chu Bai: “??!!”

Just as he was slightly stunned.

Marisa suddenly opened her eyes slightly and gave him a strange smile.
