People in hell, boss four seasons

The little girl is talking in her sleep and still remembers the story of Rumia, the relationship between a man and a monster is surprisingly good.

"I don't need these pieces of the 'Holy Grail' anymore..."

Rumia took out a bunch of fragments engraved with golden patterns but exuding a dark and evil atmosphere from her pocket.

"Well, this kind of stuff won't help me, so I'll leave it to you, Rumia."

It's not out of politeness, but Wen Yao really doesn't need the pieces of the Holy Grail. Except for getting inspiration from it when he was studying shadow magic, Wen Yao hasn't touched this kind of thing for a long time.

If it weren't for Lumia's previous situation, these fragments would probably have been completely forgotten by Wen Yao in the corner.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Hakurei Miko?"

The purpose of Wen Yao's trip is to ask about the recent turmoil in Gensokyo, but the person he really wants to visit has never appeared.

"Well……"

Rumia tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Speaking of which, Grandma has already gone out early in the morning, it seems that it is because of the affairs of the Hida family, it is really strange that she has not come back yet."

If he just went to the Hiida family to confirm some things, no matter what, he has returned now.

"Hinata family?"

Wen Yao frowned.

"Any questions?"

Rumia looked at the man sitting in front of her with some doubts.

"Hakurei Miko has never been to the Hieda family, because I just came from the Hieda family, and there is no trace of Hakurei Miko left there."

In Gensokyo, the witch's temperament is unique. For people or monsters like Wen Yao or Yakumo Zi, the Hakurei priestess' breath is the most recognizable.

From Wen Yao's point of view, the Hida's house that grandma went to is undoubtedly a cover, and Hakure Miko's movements may have a lot to do with the turmoil in Yakumo's house and Gensokyo.

It’s hard to say, the “disappearance” of the Hakurei Miko may have been controlled by the monster sage, so as to dissuade the vigilance of the intruders, and it is not impossible to wait for the opportunity to wipe out the group of vampires.

As for the possibility that Hakurei Miko was defeated by the Echida family and even eliminated all traces, Wen Yao completely ignored it.

At least in Gensokyo, before this great barrier is destroyed, the favored priestesses will not be defeated anyway, including Yakumo Zi and Wen Yao.

"Does Lumia know some details of the recent commotion in Gensokyo?"

Since there is no trace of the witch for the time being, Wen Yao hopes to get clues from Rumia.

"Is there a commotion?"

Rumia seemed to be recalling the conversations she had with her grandmother in the past few days.

It has only been a week since she came back, and what happened in Gensokyo can only be understood through the words of her grandmother.

"Lake of Fog... yes! Lake of Fog!"

"When Yakumo Zi came here before, I mentioned to my mother that guests who have trouble staying in Wuzhi Lake recently, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I just heard about it..."

The monsters residing in the shrine have no intention of getting involved in the barrier management, so in most cases, Rumia will avoid the conversation between Yakumo Zi and Hakurei Priestess, and the clues about the lake of fog are also from the past few days. Just mentioning it made a little impression on Rumia.

"It seems necessary to go to the lake of fog to confirm the situation."

Since it is a "troublesome guest", the commotion caused in Gensokyo this time is probably related to the abnormality of the lake of fog.

"Hmm... Rumia, is Mom back?"

The confused little girl started on the tatami mats and was still wrapped in a quilt. She rubbed her eyes and asked where her grandma was going.

After seeing the person sitting in front of him clearly, Xiao Lingmeng lost all sleepiness for a while.

"Brother Wen Yao came to play with Lingmeng today, Lingmeng hasn't seen brother Wen Yao for a long time!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that Lingmeng was sleeping when I came. Brother Wen Yao has to leave now. I'll come to play games with Lingmeng next time."

Wen Yao touched the little girl's fluffy hair before slowly standing up and walking outside the shrine.

"Hey! Brother Wen Yao is leaving already?"

Lingmeng tugged at her sleeve unhappily, and ran to Wen Yao's side in small steps.

"It's obvious that Rumia didn't wake me up. If I knew my brother was coming, Reimu wouldn't sleep."

The little girl was still clingy, Wen Yao didn't find it annoying, but rather cute.

He knelt down to help the little girl straighten the messy maiden clothes from her afternoon nap, and tightened the unlined clothes that were draped over her body.

"Recently, Gensokyo is not peaceful. Reimu, please remember not to leave the shrine casually."

Even if Hakurei Miko is not there, the protection of Rumia at the shrine is enough to repel possible intruders. Once Reimu gets lost because of playfulness, it will be the most troublesome thing.

The little witch who has not yet started to practice spiritual power does not have the ability to fight monsters.

After saying goodbye to the little girl, Wen Yao headed towards the lake of mist.

Some changes are taking place in the rules inside the barrier, and Wen Yao can sense that the power from the depths is tampering with the rules in the barrier.

The situation where I went to the Hakurei Shrine to ask about the whereabouts of the Hakurei Miko was probably expected by Yakumo Zi. Wen Yao has already guessed about it. Although there is a sense of being manipulated, it is impossible to say that he is not worried at all.

……

The faint mist covered the castle.

Inside the dark castle, the figure sitting on the high platform could not be seen clearly.

"The monster sage has reached an agreement with us..."

Her voice represented the will of the castle, revealing the utmost majesty.

1 Chapter [-]: The Scarlet Devil's Mansion of Fate

A huge castle was built out of thin air in the empty foggy lake.

The lingering clouds and mist cover the castle, and the frost rising in the air in autumn and winter has become the best barrier to protect the castle.

The clear lake water cannot see the bottom of the lake, and the lake is named after it, and the viscous fog will cover the surrounding areas.

Walking along the shore of the lake, you can occasionally meet the goblins who live here.

"Human, I seem to have seen you somewhere!"

The childish voice of a little girl came from behind.

Wings made of ice crystals are suspended on the back, and the small body is separated from the ground and naturally floats in the air.

It's Cirno.

Wen Yao saw this little girl in the temple house in Renli, and it was said that she was not too bright.

"Cirno-chan! Wait for me, Cirno-chan!"

Immediately behind Cirno, another elf emerged from the thick fog.

There are sporadic drops of water hanging on the light green hair, transparent wings hanging on the back, and a light blue suspender skirt over a white shirt. This is a big fairy and one of Teacher Huiyin's fairy students.

"Huh? Is it Mr. Wen Yao?"

The big goblin was a little surprised by Wen Yao who appeared here.

"I remembered! I saw you at Teacher Huiyin's place!"

Qi Lunuo seemed to have suddenly remembered something, pointing at Wen Yao and announcing his discovery loudly.

"Baijiang, Cirnuo is indeed very powerful, isn't it!"

The goblin tries to gain approval from the friends around her.

"Cirno-chan, it's impolite to point at others like this!"

The big goblin obviously didn't have the heart to praise her "smart" friend, so she hurriedly snapped off her little friend's fingers pointing at Wen Yao, and looked at Wen Yao nervously.

I'm not some man-eating monster...

Wen Yao felt helpless.

Wen Yao didn't feel offended by the actions between the goblins, but found it a little funny.

"Does the big goblin know what happened to the Lake of Fog recently?"

Between the two goblins, Wen Yao chose the relatively reliable big goblin.

Compared with the less intelligent ice goblin, the big goblin can give Wen Yao more valuable information.

"Is there a change in the lake of fog?"

The big goblin moved away the little hand that was acting as a demon on his body, looked up at the sky, and meditated for a moment.

"There is no change. The only thing that can be regarded as a change is that the fog has become thicker recently."

The frowning little girl muttered a few words, but there was no useful information.

"Cirno knows! It's...the castle over there!"

Qi Lunuo behind the little girl pointed to the opposite side of the lake with a look of excitement.

The thick fog completely obscured the scene on the other side, and Wen Yao maintained a scrutinizing attitude towards Qi Lunuo's words.

"Dajiang, have you forgotten, the castle I mentioned to you before!"

"Qi Lu Nuo Jiang, it is said that you are wrong. There are no more castles around the Lake of Fog. It must be Qi Lu Nuo's eyes!"

The big goblin insists that the so-called castle is an illusion of Cirno. In fact, this is not the first time that Cirno has made such an argument. For example, the "giant monster" he searched for some time ago did not find the relevant prototype in the end.

"A castle that suddenly appeared..."

The mist mixed with a trace of light powder can indeed be regarded as a signal of some kind of abnormality, but the invisible mist blocks the sight of monsters and people, even Wen Yao can only perceive some unspeakable abnormality from it.

That is power outside the rules.

Wen Yao smelled a strange breath.

From the moment he left hell to go to the human world, everything seemed to be designed by someone, not a deliberate arrangement, but a completely natural contact.

Whether it is the blood clan encountered at the Way of Rethinking and the Tomb of No Fate, or the mutation heard from Xianglintang and people, or even the rumor of the injury of the monster sage and the fact that the Hakurei Miko disappeared, he was finally led to the other side of the lake of fog through the mouth of Rumia, the depths of the unknown fog.

This is not a script that Yakumo Zi can make up alone. The power of the realm and the gap cannot reach such a level. This is the guidance of fate.

After comforting the two little goblins, Wen Yao continued to walk deep into the thick fog under the worried eyes of the big goblin.

As the great goblin said, the deeper you go, the thicker and thicker the mist becomes. The milky white mist is mixed with a hint of pale pink. As it goes deeper, the red mist gradually replaces the milky white mist. The thick fog floating in the distance revealed a corner of the castle.

The towering pointed houses pierced through the thick fog, and when they got closer, they could already see the whole picture of the wall.

On both sides are walls several people high, sandwiched between the iron gates in the middle.

The doorman has long red hair, the hair on both sides of the temple is tied into a twist, and the end is tied with a black ribbon. He wears a dark green star-shaped hat, and the word "dragon" is vaguely carved in front of him.

A green-and-white top was paired with a matching long skirt, which appeared to be for mobility, with a white lined lace peeking out from under the knee-length skirt.

It looks no different from ordinary people, but from Wen Yao's perspective, the guard in front of him is a real dragon representing one of the beliefs of the Hua Kingdom.

It seems that for some reason, the final evolution has not been completed, so it looks sleepy.

When Wen Yao came closer, the doorman in front of him still didn't respond.

"Huh~~~~~~~ZZzz..."

"..."

Wen Yao looked at the sleeping Menfan speechlessly.

The current situation is a bit embarrassing. If you go in directly without disturbing the guard, you may be regarded as an intruder. This is undoubtedly not the ending Wen Yao wants to see, but for disturbing the sleeping girl in front of you, Wen Yao inexplicably feels guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Captured the brief stop of time, a throwing knife poked straight at the center of Menfan's hat, and a silver-haired woman dressed as a maid appeared in front of Wen Yao.

"Mr. Wen Yao, Missy has been waiting for you for a long time."

The maid bowed slightly, and led Wen Yao to the direction of the castle behind her, staring sharply at the position of the door fan.

Menfan first responded with a strong look, then seemed to think of something, his eyes shrank back again, and he pretended to stand still in front of the iron gate again, looking full of energy.

The maid didn't hide her disgusted look, she turned around and put on a cold look, and led Wen Yao to where the eldest lady she was talking about was.

In the secluded castle, the overall appearance of the room cannot be seen clearly. In the room that is covered by fog and cannot be illuminated by light, only the "tall" figure on the seat on the high platform remains.

"Miss, Mr. Wen Yao has brought it."

The maid girl consciously stood on the side of the red carpet.
