Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"By the way, don't mention this to Akyuu. She's in charge of compiling the Gensokyo Chronicles. If she suddenly gets a bee in her bonnet and records this incident in the book, then promotes it widely..."

I'm afraid disaster would pollute our doorstep the very next day, right?

Chu Bai understood:

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Then I'll leave it all to you, Jia Nei～"

Yakumo Yukari, the old fox with slippery shoulders, waved her hand, then shrunk back into the gap.

Only Akyuu was beside him, her tone resentful:

"I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me."

Chu Bai quietly leaned into her ear:

"There is indeed a secret. Actually, Yakumo Yukari recently got hemorrhoids. You must record it..."

Thump!

Before he could finish gossiping, a shoe appeared out of nowhere and smashed into Chu Bai's forehead.

"You're the one with hemorrhoids! Your whole family has hemorrhoids!"

Yakumo Yukari reappeared, sticking her tongue out at Chu Bai like a little girl.

Then she picked up the shoe and shrunk back again.

Akyuu couldn't help but giggle:

"You two really have a good relationship."

"Ha, what a joke."

Chu Bai was indignant:

"I was turned into a homeless person by this guy on my first day in Gensokyo."

"Even after working hard until now, I haven't earned enough to recover the wealth I originally had."

"A good relationship with her? I can't wait to strip her clothes off and sell them to pay off my debts!"

……

……

Finished chatting.

Chu Bai returned to the main topic:

"In short, I roughly understand the situation. Coincidentally, my law is manipulating emotions, which can deal with this kind of blackening."

"But according to Yukari, besides the Hieda family, similar situations have also occurred in the Human Village?"

"Yes."

Akyuu's expression was melancholy:

"However, the situation in the Human Village is more complicated. It's no longer a simple problem that can be solved with laws."

"Oh, what do you mean? Are there many people who have blackened?"

"The number isn't that large. But at this time, the competition between Buddhism and Taoism has reached its peak."

Akyuu added helplessly:

"So, under the influence of this emotion, religious believers are becoming more and more fanatical about their respective faiths, while becoming more and more hostile to the other's religion."

"Until now... it has evolved into a real war."

War.

This is definitely not a good word.

Even if the vast majority of those participating in the war are ordinary people who only use the most basic cold weapons and extremely crude firearms.

But as long as war is involved, it inevitably represents a large number of civilian casualties.

Chu Bai had personally caused a war between magicians in order to revive his master, so he deeply understood the harm of war.

So his brow furrowed immediately:

"Can we forcibly intervene to mediate by relying on the status of the Hieda family?"

"No. Although the Hieda family is nominally the leader of the Human Village, those fanatical believers simply won't listen to us when it comes to religious beliefs."

"Then find Hakurei Reimu to come forward and order a ceasefire as an absolutely neutral party?"

"Also won't work. It might be useful in peacetime, but at this time, the believers have already been blinded by bloodlust and may even treat Hakurei Reimu as a target for subjugation."

"This..."

Reimu is not afraid of being subjugated.

But if she makes enemies for no reason and interferes in the battlefield indiscriminately, her reputation for absolute neutrality will also be damaged.

And if left unchecked, the believers on both sides will fight each other, and many innocent villagers will be caught up in it and become victims of the war.

In this way, the human population of Gensokyo will be reduced, and the balance between humans and youkai will also be broken.

"Hiss... this is really difficult, why haven't I heard any news about this before..."

Chu Bai had a headache.

Akyuu slowly shook her head:

"I had already sent people to invite you to discuss matters a few days ago, but unfortunately you were not at home at that time."

Oh right, I remember.

He was still having a wild party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion a few days ago, solving the vampire cold incident.

Chu Bai shifted his gaze guiltily.

But just as he was about to say something, a series of gong sounds suddenly came from outside.

Clang clang clang clang clang————

Like some kind of signal, the entire village suddenly became chaotic.

A large number of villagers were walking around, and all kinds of shouts were heard from time to time.

"It's the signal for war!"

"War, war!"

"Prepare weapons! Quickly put on armor, put on armor!"

"Assemble, follow behind the general!"

Is it actually the signal for war?

At this very moment?

Akyuu also extended an invitation at this time:

"Mr. Chu Bai, shall we go and take a look together?"

"Okay."

Because Akyuu couldn't fly, Chu Bai took the initiative to put his arm around her waist and flew up with her.

The close contact immediately made Akyuu's face turn red.

But her body didn't struggle. Instead, she quietly hid the flying treasure in her hand again.

The Young Dragon God glanced at her expressionlessly and followed Chu Bai silently on the other side.

Soon they came to the top of the village.

And the villagers participating in the war were completely assembled.

Those who were conscripted were a group of young and middle-aged men, most of them were wearing headscarves, holding bamboo spears, and wearing cloth clothes.

Occasionally mixed in were a few elite soldiers holding razors, wearing bamboo belly wraps, and having some combat ability.

There were about fifty or sixty of them, and everyone's eyes were full of fanaticism.

The leader, a monk wearing heavy armor and carrying a bow and arrow, was trembling with excitement:

"Brothers and sisters, the time to exterminate the heretics is now!"

"For Saint Byakuren, for Bishamonten!"

"Ooooh ooooh ooooh——"

The soldiers were immediately excited and full of momentum.

Seeing that the mobilization was almost complete, the leading monk waved his hand:

"Kill all those Taoist hypocrites!"

"Those who retreat will go to Avici Hell, those who advance will go to Paradise! Kill!——"

"Kill——"

The soldiers shouted angrily, holding all kinds of weapons, and rushed up desperately.

Obviously, these are Buddhist monks and soldiers, who are supporters of Saint Byakuren's side.

And not far from them, the same forty or fifty villagers were gathered.

The equipment of these villagers was also very shabby, and only a few could put on bamboo armor.

The leader had thick hair, held a katana, and shouted sternly:

"Only Taoism is the true religion, only the Three Pure Ones are the upper gods worthy of faith!"

"Brothers and sisters, kill this group of evil monks and restore peace to the world!"

"Charge————"

The soldiers supporting the Divine Spirit Mausoleum also rushed forward fearlessly.

Soon the two groups collided, and like a large village brawl, the sound of weapons colliding and screams of bloodshed continued to sound.

"This is just a small-scale conflict."

Akyuu was held by Chu Bai's waist, her voice helpless:

"Once the war fully breaks out, the entire Human Village will be swept into it, and then there will be a battlefield with thousands of people joining."

"No matter the outcome of the war, the Human Village will suffer unimaginable damage."

Chu Bai observed the environment of the battlefield in the sky.

With the help of his magic, many villagers who would have died only fell into a coma.

But merely physical treatment is not enough to stop the entire war.

So he flew down, erupted with golden aura, and tried to suppress the soldiers on the battlefield:

"Everyone stop immediately! War is prohibited in the Human Village, violators will be executed!"

As a result, the soldiers on the ground were not afraid, but became more and more excited:

"Evil God Chu Bai! When did he come?"

"Damn evil monk, actually colluding with the Evil God Chu Bai!"

"Hypocritical Taoists, you are obviously the ones who are playing tricks!"

"Bald donkey, how dare you be so verbose here? Give me your life!"

"You are the ones who are shouting nonsense! Kill!"

So they fought more fiercely.

Weapons clashed.

Blood splattered.

Screams continued.

Even in this process, Chu Bai had been constantly releasing the power of the law, clearing the pollution from most of them.
