The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"This time, there are no clues or any clues?"

A trace of disappointment flashed across Yakumo Lan's face. She rubbed her sore eyes and slowly left her seat. She glanced back at the mountain of scrolls on the table and kept letting out a tired sigh.

Passing through the bizarre and wonderful passage, Yakumo Lan came to a special room, not so much a room, but a special space.

Except for a single-sided door that appeared out of thin air, not even the four walls of the room could be seen. The surroundings were filled with an endless void, filled with countless gaps that looked like eyes.

This is the place that Yakumo Purple uses to monitor the entire Gensokyo. The system composed of countless gaps here allows her to detect changes immediately no matter where the changes occur in Gensokyo.

If there is nothing wrong with waking up, Zi Yakumo will stay here, watching the entire Gensokyo silently.

Yakumo Lan came here just to find her master, Yakumo Zi.

"Master Zi," Lan put away the tiredness in his eyes, gathered his energy and bowed to Zi in front of him, "I have confirmed all the information sent by Master Aqiu."

"Well," Zi leaned lazily on the bench covered with blankets and asked with half-squinted eyes, "Did you find anything?"

"There is nothing," Lan said with some frustration: "Although there are some corners in the recorded history that are different from what we remember, they are all insignificant parts."

"So, in that period of history, there was no sign of 'him' appearing at all?"

"Yes, I'm afraid even if that person appeared, he would not be recorded in history in such a grand manner."

"Yeah?"

Yakumo Zi closed her eyes. At this moment, neither the master nor the servant spoke. In this silent space, they seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.

"Bayi Yonglin has no need to lie to us."

Yakumo Zi opened her eyes, and an oppressive aura began to permeate the surrounding space inadvertently.

"According to what she said that day, she had met a person who claimed to be the Dragon God, twice. Once when she went to welcome Princess Kaguya back to the moon, and the other time hundreds of years later."

Yakumo Murasaki's words ended here, but they shocked Yakumo Blue into a cold sweat. She knew exactly what her master meant by "hundreds of years later".

That was a past event that Yakumo Murasaki least wanted to mention, about the establishment of Gensokyo, about the final battle between humans and monsters, about that person, and about "her" death.

"Are you scared? Lan?"

Yakumo Purple's long and narrow eyes shone with an inexplicable light, and the floating purple pupils seemed to be strangling Yakumo Purple's neck, making her heart palpitate.

"No, Master Zi."

Lan is not like facing Yakumo Purple like this, but she is a shikigami and has no right to refuse.

"So, what are you afraid of?"

".I thought Lord Zi wanted to start a war with Yashi Eirin that day."

Lan told what he was afraid of. On the seventh day after Takeya disappeared, Yakumo Murasaki once went to Eternity Pavilion. As a shikigami, Lan naturally accompanied her, but she stayed in the gap and did not show up. .

As Yakumo Purple's shikigami, Yakumo Blue has no secrets, so Yakumo Purple never needs to keep anything secret from her. She heard all the conversations that day.

When the other party was frantically testing Yakumo Purple's bottom line, Yakumo Lan felt a little bad. Later, when he mentioned that person, she felt that the two were about to break up.

Although Yakumo Purple did not take action in the end, Yakumo Blue really felt that he had gone through a fierce battle, and even his steps became a little shaky when he came back.

"Don't worry, Lan."

Yakumo Purple smiled, as if all the authority had disappeared from her eyes, leaving only an empty leisurely look. She said calmly: "We will not go to war with Yashi Eirin at this time. Our interests do not allow it, and the time is not right. The key is Yes, there is no chance of winning now.”

Lan lowered her head, a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she tried to ask: "Is it because of Reimu?"

"yes."

Yakumo Murasaki nodded with a bit of sadness, and there was a hint of helplessness in her lowered eyes: "Reimu's strength is the weakest among the shrine maidens in the past. Not to mention Yashi Eirin, it will be difficult to fight against ordinary gods. It’s hard.”

"That's true, but it's not Reimu's fault."

"Of course not," Yakumo Murasaki snorted angrily and said, "Reimu only inherited half of Hakurei's spiritual power because that bastard from the previous generation fled to the outside world with the other half of Hakurei's spiritual power! "

When she mentioned this, Yakumo Murasaki became a little angry. She gritted her teeth and said: "Reimu is a half-hearted person now. Half of Hakurei's spiritual power can only be better than the best. Shizu, that bastard, is really beaten by her." It’s a set up!”

"My lord, she must have her own ideas."

"Hmph, what kind of idea does that guy have? He just knows something he shouldn't know."

After venting her anger, the gloom on Yakumo Purple's face dissipated a lot. She lay on her back on the bench, her impetuous eyes looking into the deep void, and gradually became calm.

"We must advance our plans. There are already too many things that are beyond our expectations."

Yakumo Zi tilted her head and glanced at the many gaps in front of her: "Where is Takeya, where is he now?"

"Takeya-kun, you are currently at the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

"Where is that little bat?" Yakumo Purple raised an eyebrow, looking at Takeya who was chatting and laughing with Sakuya across the gap, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised: "It's nice to live a leisurely life."

"Well," Lan's expression was a little tangled. She hesitated in her heart for a long time before she decided to speak: "Master Zi, do you really want to do this?"

"Are you talking about Takeya?"

"Yes," Lan nodded without hesitation: "Although you have already made a decision, I still want to object. Regardless of the success rate of this plan, what if it causes any damage to you, Master Zi? what to do?"

"It's okay, Lan, we will be careful."

Zi waved his hand carelessly, and his eyes fell on Wu Ye through the gap: "Wu Ye has the ability to pass through the barrier without distinction, and we have the ability to control the realm. As long as we combine these two powers, As one, no matter how strong the seal is, it cannot trap us.”

The leisurely expression was gradually replaced by solemnity, and Yakumo Murasaki's tone was one part playful and one part serious:

"Gensokyo is closed, Reimu's strength is not enough, and Jing is hiding in the outside world. Now we can't help but be careful. Let's try to take a gamble. Speaking of which, our luck is surprisingly good."
