The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Even if you say that, just let me go find Marisa. How can it be so easy?"

Wu Ye, who was hanging in the air with the Yin Yang Jade in his arms, couldn't help but sigh. In front of him, in addition to the long river of magma, there were giant red rocks like a canyon.

So don't talk about the old capital, he can't even see a house.

"How do you find someone in a situation like this?"

Once again questioning Lingmeng's thoughts, Wu Ye raised his head to look at the Yin-Yang Jade he was holding in his hand, the way it kept flashing always gave him a feeling that he was about to run out of battery.

Would he suddenly lose his spiritual power and throw me down?

Swallowing at the long river of magma at his feet, Takeru quickly looked away to avoid scaring himself to death.

"Anyway, let's give it a try first, okay?"

Wu Ye, who finally calmed down and prepared to officially start looking for someone, suddenly discovered something abnormal. No, it seemed a bit inaccurate to say it was an abnormality, because——

"Is that glowing thing flying towards me?"

Looking uncertainly at a flash of golden light in the sky, Wu Ye stopped where he was in confusion and began to try to look at the strange light from a distance.

"This, it seems something is not good."

Although Wu couldn't be sure what that golden light was, what he was sure of was that the light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and it was rushing towards him impartially!

"Isn't it?! Barrage? Shock wave? Or V8 anti-aircraft missile? Wait, the technology of the old hell should not have reached this level, no, is it time to talk about this?!"

In panic, Wu Ye quickly took out Gangnir, and then decisively threw it in the direction of the Earth Spirit Palace.

A cloud-piercing arrow! You must definitely see Reimu!

"What did you say?!"

Reimu's eyes looked as if he wanted to eat someone. Although it seemed inappropriate to use such a metaphor to describe a human being, that was the actual situation.

"I think we still understand each other in terms of language. Could it be that you don't understand what I mean?"

Gu Mingjijue didn't mind Lingmeng's fire-breathing eyes at all, and said calmly:

"Your plan is impossible to succeed, and your rescue will not arrive. In other words, the human being who helped you ask for help may not even be able to get out of the scope of the Earth Spirit Temple."

"You guy."

"I don't mean to boast, but with that human's level, the possibility of escaping from my pet is still very low, or basically zero."

After talking for a long time, Gu Mingdijue paused for a while before continuing:

"Give up, miko."

"What did you say?"

"I have no intention of fighting. You are a person on the ground and I am a monster underground. As long as you can just retreat, we will not be in conflict with each other."

"impossible."

Ling doesn’t even think about it but flatly refuses:

"I am a miko. As long as there are changes in Gensokyo, I will solve them."

"Does that mean there's no possibility of negotiation?"

Gu Mingjiju closed his eyes as if sighing.

"Unless you're willing to get out of my way."

Lingmeng said solemnly, this was her bottom line. Since she had seen it all, the mutation must be resolved. She didn't have to retreat from the guy who was blocking the way, as long as the other party promised not to get in the way.

"It seems that both of us have reasons why we cannot give in."

Although Gu Mingjijue still had his eyes closed, the third eye floating on his chest was blinking non-stop, apparently having read Reimu's thoughts.

"In that case, let's... huh?"

After a pause in his speech, Gu Ming opened his eyes slightly, and saw a red light that was more dazzling than the sky and the earth flashing across the sky. It cut through the sky and flew over their heads.

"That is."

Looking through the big hole in the wall, Lingmeng squinted his eyes and his heart suddenly became cold:

"Gangnir.!"

That was Remilia's weapon, but now it was being used as a signal by Takeya. She remembered Takeya once said that it was a signal for help, that is to say

"It seems that Akong's efficiency is even higher than I thought."

Even though it was impossible to tell from her expression whether Gu Ming was smiling, her tone quietly revealed a sense of relaxation.

"Your friend failed, miko."

".whispering sound."

"Oh?"

Unexpectedly, after learning the news of Takeya's failure, Reimu was not as angry as before, but fell into a strange silence.

"Calm down?"

Gu Mingji, who was always using his mind-reading ability, could read Lingmeng's current thoughts. She frowned slightly. The other party didn't seem to care too much about her friend's failure.

But why were you so anxious just now?

"That guy Takeya will really cause trouble for me."

Looking at the bloody spear disappearing at the other end of the sky, Lingmeng sighed softly:

"Is there no other way?"

"Have you finally decided to give up?"

Manipulating the ability to read minds, Gu Ming frowned slightly:

"No, no, you are trying to...!"

"Because I have no choice, I have to use my trump card."

As he spoke, Reimu's expression looked extremely calm. There was neither regret because of the failure of the plan nor the embarrassment of being forced into a desperate situation. Even the worries about his friends just now disappeared completely.

What is left is an emotion that is more natural than forced.

"Hey, youkai, you should know the rules of spell cards, right?"

".The rules of the game on the ground?"

"Sure enough, the ability to read minds is easy to use. You don't need me to tell you that you already know it."

Ling Meng sighed and smiled:

"Then you should also know that in the spell card rules, everyone has a trump card in the limited spell card, which is the last spell (Last Spell Card). If you use this and still fail to defeat your opponent, it is considered a failure." .”

"So, are you going to use your trump card?"

"Well, because other spell cards have no effect on you at all."

Reimu's tone was as flat as if he had read today's dinner:

"To be honest, it's the first time I've used this move in actual combat. Even with the restrictions of spell card rules, I can't use 'full power'. I don't know how powerful it is, so..."

"Tell me to be careful, okay?"

Gu Mingdijue's expression was serious, it didn't seem like he was going to say something to the enemy at all, there were only two possibilities to issue such a "kind" reminder.

If it is intentional, then the other party's purpose is to ridicule, but if it is sincere,

Gu Ming Jijue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she immediately raised her hand to summon the crow hovering outside the Earth Spirit Temple. This is a kind of monster that lived in hell a long time ago-the hell crow.

Living in the scorching hell below the Earth Spirit Hall, they now take orders from the owner of the Earth Spirit Hall, Gu Ming Dijue, who is also her pet.

Gu Mingdijue ordered to the hell crow:

"Find Akong immediately and bring her here, along with the human."

The Hell Crow nodded wordlessly, then let out a cry, flapped its wings and flew out of the Earth Spirit Palace.

"Have you moved the reinforcements? The situation seems to be the other way around."

Lingmeng glanced at the Hell Crow flying away, but did not stop him:

"But it doesn't matter how many people come, because if I can't defeat you with this move, then it will be considered my defeat."

"Is this mercy?"

"No, this is a rule. Since it is something you have set, you must abide by it, so be careful."

Lingmeng's hands drooped, floating quietly in mid-air, and the talisman of the imperial coin gradually lost its light, sinking into the darkness like the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only the faint light in her eyes that did not dissipate.

In the deliberately created dead atmosphere, Reimu could only be heard whispering slowly as if talking in sleep:

""Dreams are born""
