Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"What is this? Could it be poison?"

Despite saying that, Kanako still drank it without hesitation.

Feeling the power of the laws within it, and the rich existence power that could not be ignored, Kanako immediately widened her eyes:

"Eh! What is this? Where did you get it?"

Suwako's expression remained unchanged:

"Secret. But if you want it, I can share some with you in the future."

"Oh, oh, then please do."

Kanako said, suddenly remembering something:

"But rather than me, you need this more, right? Don't forget to keep some for yourself."

"Don't worry."

Suwako touched her slightly swollen belly, revealing a faint smile:

"The amount I've kept is enough to absorb for a while..."

Chapter 222: Others Have Already Crossed the Finish Line, While Reimu Is Still Searching for the Track?

The idol competition is being held in the Human Village.

This is also the venue where most human-organized competitions take place.

After asking a few passersby, Chu Bai learned the detailed location of the competition and secretly made his way to the backstage of the program group through a small path, relying on his powerful perception.

Normally, the lottery box to be used tomorrow would be placed here.

However, just as Chu Bai was about to sneak in, he saw a familiar person at the entrance of the hidden passage.

"Rinnosuke, why are you here too?"

Chu Bai patted him on the back.

The sudden fright almost made Rinnosuke's glasses fall off.

Seeing that it was Chu Bai, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone find out."

"Okay, okay."

Chu Bai switched to telepathy to communicate with him:

"Are you also participating in the idol competition?"

"Yes, after all, I've been really poor lately, and it's not a long-term solution to be constantly working part-time. If I can become an idol and make Kourindou famous, my business will also improve a lot."

Chu Bai thoughtfully comforted him:

"You're dreaming."

Rinnosuke also smiled kindly:

"Go to hell."

After some friendly greetings.

Rinnosuke poked his glasses:

"It seems your target is also that lottery box."

"I can tell you for sure, the box is in the room ahead."

"But the dozen or so people who came to sneak around just now have all gone silent after entering, as if some great horror is hidden inside..."

Chu Bai broke out in a cold sweat:

"Good heavens, are you watching a horror movie here?"

"I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"I'll try it then."

Chu Bai wasn't intimidated at all, and immediately released his perception, peeking into the situation inside.

In the empty room, the huge lottery box was placed on the table.

As for the dozen or so people who had sneaked in earlier, they were piled up in the corner like garbage, falling into a deep sleep.

As for the culprit who caused all this...

"Holy crap, Cyber Reimu!"

Looking at Hakurei Reimu leisurely rocking on the recliner.

Ten thousand grass mud horses galloped through Chu Bai's heart.

Seriously, is it really necessary?

To actually invite Hakurei Reimu to guard the place for a small idol competition?

Rinnosuke sighed beside him:

"As expected, it's that red-white shrine maiden."

"How about it, want to go up and beat her up? This brother can cheer you on?"

"Leaving aside whether or not I can beat her..."

Chu Bai grimaced:

"If we really fight, we'll definitely be discovered by the organizers, right? At that time, they'll directly cancel our qualifications, and all our efforts will be in vain."

"That's true..."

After a pause, Rinnosuke, the strategist, had another idea:

"Why don't we cooperate? You distract her, and I'll be responsible for collecting the information in the box. After I escape, I'll share the information with you?"

"Good idea."

Chu Bai suddenly grinned:

"It's just that I have a slight objection to the division of labor."

Rinnosuke suddenly felt a little uneasy:

"Hey, you wouldn't..."

Just as Rinnosuke thought.

Chu Bai directly delivered a flying kick, kicking Rinnosuke into the room ahead:

"Good brother, I'll leave the task of distracting Hakurei Reimu to you!"

Rinnosuke turned his head in anger:

"Chu Bai! I curse your ancestors!"

As a result, a burst of murderous intent suddenly came from behind.

The crimson killer slowly opened her eyes, emitting a sinister smile:

"Awakened, hunting time!"

"Crap!"

Unable to bother with condemning Chu Bai, Rinnosuke hurriedly burst out with his half-youkai power and ran away.

Reimu sneered in disdain, tapping her toes and closely following:

"Hmph, want to escape? Eat my fist!"

Confirming that the two had left the scene, Chu Bai then poked his head out.

While mourning for Rinnosuke for 0.3 microseconds, he began to look through the slips in the lottery box.

"Let me see, the candidate items for the idol competition are..."

"...Fishing? Boxing? High-voltage resistance? Unroped bungee jumping?"

One by one, quite outrageous items came into view.

He even saw the familiar 'Don't Laugh Challenge'.

Chu Bai suddenly couldn't hold back:

"Seriously, what kind of competition items are these!"

"I feel like the people selected are even more abstract than the items themselves!"

"Yeah, I think so too."

Reimu's voice came from behind.

Chu Bai turned his head suddenly, only to see Reimu already behind him.

And in her hand, she was carrying Rinnosuke, who was beaten black and blue, half-dead.

"Brother!"

Chu Bai cried out sadly:

"You must hold on, I'll contact the crematorium for you right away!"

Saying that, he prepared to sneak away.

But Reimu helplessly supported her forehead:

"Alright, you don't have to act here, it's not like I can really catch you."

"But I didn't expect you to really be interested in the idol competition..."

Seeing that there was no threat, Chu Bai also gave a dry laugh and restored his usual composure:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be an idol, I'm just helping Sanae out."

"Sanae?"

"Yeah."

Chu Bai simply explained the ins and outs.

Reimu vaguely understood the reason.

"But you actually moved into her shrine and are so enthusiastically helping her."

Reimu snorted:

"You haven't even lived in my Hakurei Shrine..."

Chu Bai quickly stated:

"Don't worry, although we live together, nothing actually happened."

"And in my heart, you two are important friends, I definitely won't favor anyone!"

Hearing him say that, Reimu's expression relaxed slightly.

Chu Bai and Sanae hadn't made any progress, Reimu believed that.

After all, with this guy's emotional intelligence, even a direct confession would probably be misunderstood as something else.

Now hearing him personally guarantee it, the girl finally completely let go of her worries:

"Alright, leave quickly, if the organizers find out, it will be difficult for me too."

"Then I'll slip away first, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Before leaving, Chu Bai also thoughtfully carried Rinnosuke.

After all, he was a good brother, if he really died here, there would be no one to help him block disasters in the future.
