People in hell, boss four seasons

If Wen Yao had observed carefully when he first met Lingmeng, he might have seen a faint scratch on the side of Lingmeng's calf. Although it was not eye-catching, there was indeed blood oozing out.

As for carrying Lingmeng on his shoulder later, it was even more impossible to notice this inconspicuous trace.

The blood of every Hakurei Miko is born with spiritual power, which is also an important reason why they can quickly cultivate to the same level as the big monsters, and such blood must be fatal to the attraction of monsters.

Since she hasn't devoured the darkness for a long time, Rumia herself has been on the verge of becoming out of balance with the evil spirit, and the blood oozing from Reimu has undoubtedly accelerated the imbalance of the evil spirit in Rumia's body. When the evil spirit in her body is completely out of balance, Rumia will fall into madness.

That's right, it is madness, this is the second situation where the evil spirit is out of control.

This kind of situation usually happens to immature monsters who have not yet turned into human form. Those monsters who are still raw and drinking blood are easy to go crazy due to lack of food or intense stimulation.

This was particularly evident at the beginning of the establishment of Gensokyo. Since the human beings in the People's Village were protected by the contract between the witches and the monster sages, the food for those included monsters who were still in the developmental stage was greatly reduced.

Some of them overcame the difficulty of eating human flesh and survived. Most of them either went mad and went to destruction, or lost their minds and attacked human villages and were finally wiped out by Hakurei Miko. There were also some monsters with hidden dangers of madness With the passage of time, the traces gradually disappeared, and the handwriting of the monster sage is naturally indispensable.

"Then what do you do, stay here and continue to torture yourself?"

Wen Yao frowned tightly, letting Lumia go on like this is definitely not the solution to the problem, what he hates the most is this kind of guy who thinks he is good to others.

Slightly adjusting the posture of Reimu in his arms, he lightly covered the slightly bleeding wound on Reimu's calf with his right hand.

A faint green fluorescent light flashed on the right hand, and the wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the breath of blood could not be completely covered, it was obvious that Lumia's condition had improved.

The smell of blood in the air was still strong, but most of it was the blood from Rumia's own wounds. The clearly visible wounds on the clothes on her back were probably necessary measures to control herself.

Due to the fact that he was facing him, Wen Yao didn't notice this at the first time. With the change of position and angle of view, Wen Yao noticed the tragic condition of Lumia's back.

"If you want to devour the darkness, your food should be very satisfying, and if it's just such a wound that makes you lose your mind, you're not far from losing control."

Rumia in this state obviously cannot return to the shrine. Hakurei Miko shoulders the heavy responsibility of expelling monsters, and injuries are common.

"I think it was because of this consideration that Grandma asked you to bring Xiao Lingmeng out to play."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingmeng was injured in the Magic Forest.

Combining Lingmeng's previous narration, Wen Yao has roughly deduced the ins and outs of the incident, but Wen Yao is still a little puzzled about the reason why Rumia must eat people to maintain her life. Is there anything that must be obtained from the human body?

"The night monsters never devour simple darkness..."

Rumia's pupils constricted, Yakumozi's voice suddenly came from behind Wen Yao.

The gap slowly opened, and from the unknowable gap, the monster sage dressed in luxurious purple came out, followed by the loyal shikigami, Kyuubi's strategist, Yakumo Lan as always.

"What Rumia really wants to devour... is the darkness in people's hearts."

Zi Yakumo mercilessly revealed the last secret, and her appearance seemed to herald the end of the incident.

"Most monsters only need to suck the fear of human beings to maintain their existence. There are also some monsters that can survive without fear, but there are always exceptions. There are always monsters that don't rely on fear for a living, and Rumia is one of them."

Yakumo Lan took on the next part of the commentary very well, which allowed Wen Yao to better understand the whole story of the incident.

"The man-eating Nightmare Yokai feed on the darkness in the human heart, and the human heart and body are inseparable. Due to my negligence, Renzhi at that time suffered heavy casualties due to the attack by Rumia."

Most of the time, Yakumo Blue will replace Yakumo Zi in charge of every move in the Great Barrier.

"We don't object to monsters eating people... But, Rumia can't get enough..."

Yakumo Zi's voice was still chillingly indifferent.

"Of course, the current situation is different. Over the past two years, Rumia's cannibalism is not uncontrollable. According to the conclusions obtained from recent observations, as long as eating is allowed within a fixed period of two years, Rumia's situation is Totally manageable."

The existence of the gap can monitor Rumia's every move very well, and Yakumo Zi can naturally see Rumia's situation.

"so……"

"Impossible...I want to go back, if I go back to the way I was back then...I can no longer maintain this routine!"

Reimu's wound had completely healed, and the blood that flowed out had coagulated. Without the temptation of human blood, Rumia regained most of her sanity.

"Cannibalism... I don't need it anymore!"

Shouting this sentence hoarsely, it was no match for the physical reaction after all.

"Look, your stomach is telling you that if you don't eat people, you won't be able to return to Hakurei Shrine alive!"

Under the wide sleeves, Yakumo Zi's left hand was clenched tightly on the sleeve, her lips behind the fan couldn't help trembling.

"Does food have to be human evil?"

"Lu... Mia..."

Reimu, who was sleeping soundly in Wen Yao's arms, changed her posture, and finally muttered Rumia's name.

It would really give me a problem, Wen Yao smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Forget it, for Xiao Lingmeng's sake, let me settle this matter."

Chapter 22 Rumia's confusion

In the quiet woodland, Reimu's faint snoring could still be heard.

After Wen Yao's words fell, both parties in the argument focused their attention on him.

"Oh? It seems that the little brother is very sure, we want to hear what solution the little brother has."

Yakumo Zi narrowed her eyes, a sly smile appeared on her pretty face.

This gave Wen Yao the illusion that he was tricked.

However, coming to Gensokyo by myself was a temporary idea. No matter how quick Yakumo Zi reacted, it was impossible to pull off such a farce in such a short period of time. Wen Yao still favored the other party's interest in his solution to the problem.

"It's natural for monsters to eat people. As the monster sages of Gensokyo, we can't solve Rumia's problem. I wonder if my little brother can tell you about your plan."

Wen Yao cleared his throat, supported Xiao Lingmeng with one hand, and took out a few fragments stained with black air from his pocket with his left hand, but the action of pulling out his pocket was probably just a cover-up, Yakumozi obviously felt the fluctuations in space.

The fragments are golden yellow in color, and some are painted with gorgeous patterns. From the curvature and joints, it can be roughly judged that these come from vessels similar to cups or bowls.

"Well, since Gensokyo can't solve it, then let's change to another world... But for the time being, let's live with this."

Wen Yao handed a few fragments to Lumia's hand, which is the most direct proof of what he said just now.

"This is a fragment of a holy relic I got in a world I experienced before. Their world seems to be called the Holy Grail... Although I don't know why such a dark thing is labeled as the Holy Grail, but this should be of some help to you, Rumia."

The fragments are shrouded in pure human evil, these dark substances are the collection of the dark side of the human heart, even a small fragment is enough to be worth the consumption of Rumia for a long time.

"It would be great if I didn't break the cup at that time, otherwise I don't have to think about a solution once and for all."

Wen Yao still has some fears about the black mud that is enough to swallow the entire city and even the world.

"This...such an important thing, Rumia..."

Feeling the pure malice in the fragments in front of her, Rumia was shamefully moved, but due to various considerations, she still hesitated whether to accept Wen Yao's gift. As a solitary monster, apart from the family members in the shrine, Rumia has nothing to offer in return for the other party's help.

"Hey, such things are not important to me, before solving your problems, let's live with these fragments first."

Wen Yao took out three or four fragments similar to those in Lumia's hand from his pocket. Lumia nodded slightly and accepted the fragments in her hand. As for the matter of repayment, as long as Wen Yao is still in Fantasy Township, he will There is a chance.

"Alas, it seems that my little brother is not an ordinary person. He can even cross the barriers of the world. If you have such a good thing, why don't you give us a piece too."

Although there is nothing wrong with those fragments intuitively, Yakumo Zi is more inclined to check them in his hands. After all, they are the creations of other worlds in Wen Yao's mouth. It is not known whether there will be any changes in this world. If Yao doesn't give it, she will ask Rumia for a piece afterwards. The youkai in Gensokyo never refuse the request of the youkai sage.

"Hey, even though you are a sage of monsters, it's better not to touch this kind of thing, remember to give it to Rumia after confirming it."

The gap opened and closed in Wen Yao's palm, and the fragments were suspended in Yakumozi's palm in the next second.

Wen Yao is not one of those fanatical contenders for the Holy Grail. He doesn't care about the final destination of these fragments. If he can continue Rumia's daily life before he finds a way to solve Lumia's problem, the fragments will be of great use. Worth it.

"In that case, let's go first."

Yakumo Lan bowed instead of her master, and followed Yakumo Zi into the gap.

"Hmm~ o(*￣▽￣*)o"

A child's sleep is always intermittent, falling asleep quickly and waking up quickly, the little girl struggled to get up from Wen Yao's arms, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked around.

"Brother Wen Yao, where are we?"

……

It is not a good experience to walk in the damp, dark, miasma-filled dense forest, and sometimes there will be some dangerous monsters. In short, it is definitely not safe for ordinary people, but the combination of "Reaper" and the big monster is enough to scare away most of the monsters in the forest. I don't know if Miss Alice, who lives in the deep forest, will often be infested by monsters.

In the team of three, Xiao Lingmeng walked in the front, and behind them were Wen Yao and Lumia walking side by side.

Youkai have a powerful self-healing ability. The fine and messy wounds on Rumia's back quickly healed by themselves, and the pure black overalls concealed the blood well. This is why Reimu has not noticed Rumia's injury so far. reason.

This is one of the few opportunities for Reimu to come to the Forest of Magic. The little girl's attention is easily attracted by the surrounding things. After finding Rumia, Reimu's mood has obviously improved a lot. This is because the little girl Evidence can be seen in the smile that curls up on the corner of the mouth.

"That... Just now... Was there really no one else?"

Reimu vaguely remembered that when he just woke up, he saw a purple and blue halo overlapping, and when he turned around to look back, it turned back into an open space.

"It's obvious that only me and Rumia are here, so Reimu must have misread it."

No matter how many times he came back to this question, there was always an unshakable smile on the corner of Wen Yao's mouth, which made the suspicious Reimu doubt himself again.

"I always feel that you guys are hiding something from Reimu, it must be so!"

The little girl pouted, and turned her head away from looking at the two "adults" behind her.

"Hey, there's a butterfly over there!"

That's how quickly a child's attention shifts.

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. Wen Yao do this?"

Lumia was puzzled by Wen Yao's reason for helping her.

"Although these fragments may not be considered precious to Mister, they are definitely rare collections, aren't they?"

Only darkness can understand the value of darkness. As a monster of Nightmare, Rumia clearly knows how pure energy is contained in the fragments given to herself, and those pure evils can help her survive for a long time.

"Hey, just do it if you want to, if you insist on explaining why..."

Wen Yao's voice was silent for a moment, and then sounded again.

"I don't know if protecting the little witch's smile is a valid reason?"

He has seen too many separations and reunions, and he no longer wants to have such a tragic scene of parting in his life.

"If you leave, not only Lingmeng, but also that witch will not be happy."

The long sigh was overwhelmed by the happy voice of the little witch, Rumia looked at the figure in front of her thoughtfully, and followed quickly.

"Why are you in a daze here, Xiao Lingmeng is calling you!"

Chapter 23 The Rabbit Demon at Eternal Pavilion

After walking for another half an hour, the group of three finally walked out of the forest of magic.

It was already afternoon, the sun was slanting to the west, and the slightly drowsy sunlight dispelled the haze in the forest. When we walked here, the surrounding scene suddenly became clear.

The humidity and dullness in the depths of the dense forest fade away, and everything in the world outside the Magical Forest is bright and refreshing.

The birds on the tree were chirping and singing, which reminded Wen Yao of Mystia, the night sparrow proprietress who was in the barbecue business also had a good singing voice. Speaking of which, he even promised to bring a copy of the proprietress to Xiaomachi. Then you can bring a fried shrimp to Shiji-sama by the way. As for sake...drinking is not allowed during work, this system is written into the work regulations of hell, although Komachi does not drink twice at a time times, but Wen Yao cannot encourage this unhealthy trend.

When passing by Xianglin Hall, the gate is still closed. The sundries piled up at the gate last time have been cleaned up, only the rust-stained lawn has not been taken care of. I don’t know if the host is negligent or doesn’t care at all. .

Going forward, you can already see the curling fireworks, eye-catching torii gates, and the village is crowded with people.

"Is Mr. Wen Yao going to the world?"

Rumia was a little curious about Wen Yao's intentions. Except for Komachi, she rarely saw other people from hell come to Gensokyo.

"Well, it's about the Hita family, and I need to take care of it."

The relationship between the Hida family and the Right and Wrong Office is almost well known in Gensokyo, and the news that the head of the family is reincarnated every hundred years is not a secret, so Wen Yao has no intention of hiding his intention of coming.

The destination of Wen Yao's trip is the place of the world. Of course, the main purpose is not simply to purchase the raw materials needed for fried shrimp, it is just a joke between him and Komachi.

The reincarnation of Hida Ami is approaching. This is the top priority that Shiki-sama is directly responsible for. Every time, the completion of preparations for her reincarnation is routinely checked, and this time is no exception.

However, it seems that due to the turmoil in the outside world, a large number of undead are constantly pouring into Gensokyo. Although the number is not so outrageous, the sudden increase in pressure makes Siji somewhat unable to escape. Therefore, Siji handed over the affairs of the Paitian family to Wen Yao.

"The Hida family is a rare wealthy family in the world."

When mentioning the Hinda family, the first thing Rumia thinks of is its wealth and good reputation in the human world. As one of the few families in the world that has the qualifications to directly talk to youkai sages, it is not an exaggeration to describe the status of the Hinda family in the human world. Many works such as "The Origin of Gensokyo" that have been passed down to the present by its generations of patriarchs are also quite famous in Gensokyo.

"In that case, I'll take Reimu back to the shrine first."

Most monsters are not allowed to step into the human world. As a monster with a criminal record, it is also forbidden for Rumia to enter the human world.

And Reimu, who is the next witch, will not have a good face in the human world.

Wen Yao nodded, expressing his understanding.
