The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"To celebrate our meeting, shouldn't you be a little happy, Takeya?"

It was still the world full of "emptiness". The cherry-colored girl put her hands behind her back and walked slowly in the frozen sunset.

"Yuko."

When he called out that name, Takeya's tone unconsciously turned melancholy. When he came to his senses, he secretly laughed at his pretense.

He stretched out his hand to mess up his hair and wiped his face before putting on a smile again: "Welcome back."

"I'm back."

Opening her arms around Takeya's neck, Yuko gave him a reunion hug, but she did not choose to let the warmth stay.

After quietly staring into Wu Ye's eyes for a long time, Yuko let out a faint sigh: "Although we won this time, it's not the time to really relax."

"Have we won?" Takeya asked quietly, and even Yuko fell into a brief silence.

Yes, even though Takeshi crossed that desperate distance and forcefully returned to Gensokyo from the exiled world, but when he thought of the so-called "victory", he still felt so far away .

At least until that golden guy was completely eliminated, Wu would never dare to put these two words in his mouth.

Ignorance may be forgiven, but arrogance means ignorance.

"We won," Yuko said these two words solemnly after the silence, but added: "This time."

"Yeah?"

Takeya's tone did not become more relaxed, he looked at the world behind Yuko, this is a "strange" place, he knew it since he came here last time.

Neither different from the world he knew nor outside the world he was exiled from.

"This is a world without a name." After understanding the meaning in Takeya's eyes, Yuko explained, "It's different from the world we were created. It exists naturally just like the 'real world'."

"However, there seems to be no trace of other people's activities here." Wu Ye looked at the world around him and said doubtfully.

"Maybe there used to be." Yuko also looked around, the unchanging sunset seemed to have a hazy veil, the more she wanted to see through it, the more she fell into it.

After a pause, Yuko turned around, looked at the empty auditorium and said, "This is probably the closest place to Levin's Tower."

".You know?" Takeru looked at Yuko's back in surprise.

Levinanta.

He had heard this name before, just after his battle with Luo Tianshu, he heard it from the mouth of the girl named Dantelian beside him.

And he seemed to be called the "descendant of Levin Antar" by the other party, just like Luo Tianshu.

"Yes, I know some, but not completely."

Yuko said frankly, and also said a fact that shocked Takeya: "It's not just the dream world that connects our Gensokyo and the real world. It's also possible here."

"What did you say?" Wu Ye was stunned. Doesn't this mean that this place will also become the entrance to the other party's invasion?

"Don't worry, I told you that this is the world inside the Westbound Demon. The so-called connection only means that the space between the Westbound Demons in the two worlds is connected. On this point, even that person is not Know."

Yuko's explanation dispelled Takeya's worries, and then she said: "I came here after I was swallowed by the West Goblin, Takeya, you, and that fairy, all came here, but you all left , I was the only one who couldn't leave, so out of curiosity, I tried to go deeper into this world, but I didn't expect it."

Turning around, Yuko stared into Takeya's eyes and said word by word: "I saw another 'me'."

"Is it Miss Youyuko?" Wu Ye guessed.

"No," Yuuko shook her head and said, "It's the 'Yuko' who exists in the 'real world'."

"The other one, Yuko"

"Yes, although there is no way to leave here, but I passed the Westbound Demon here to the Westbound Demon over there, and saw another 'I' who was sealed in it."

After a sigh, Yuko said: "It's really amazing. Although our world is similar to theirs in terms of history, there is an even more terrifying secret hidden in the 'I' over there."

"What is it?" Wu Ye moved his throat and couldn't help but feel relieved that he had just been relieved.

Yuko didn't say it directly, but suddenly mentioned an old saying: "Our Gensokyo is a replica of their Gensokyo, and everyone here is a replica, even Takeya and you are no exception. , you have seen it, the Takeya who lives in Gensokyo over there."

"Well..." Wu didn't really want to mention this matter, even if he followed the "evil" awakening in his heart and became the embodiment of greed, the guilt in his heart for Gensokyo in the "real world" still hasn't dissipated.

Regardless of hypocrisy or crocodile tears, there is always some lingering depression in his heart.

"Theoretically, as replicas, we will not make any moves that are different from the 'settings'. Everything about us is stipulated, but there is an exception, that is, miraculously The intersection that happens between worlds.”

There was a bit of sad nostalgia in Yuko's eyes: "The previous Hakurei miko, Jing, it was in that unobservable miraculous intersection that she came into contact with the existence of the real world. This led to the future of our world being determined. deviated from the original trajectory.”

"Sister." Wu Ye lowered his eyes, as if he could still recall the warm figure who was always guarding him from the front.

"However, there is more than one such miracle, and so do I." Youzi closed her eyes and said slowly.

"Yuko, have you ever been to that world?"

"No, Takeya, it's not like this——"

Yuko took a deep breath and said word by word: "I have belonged to the real world from the beginning."

"Eh?" Wu Ye was completely stunned.

"I am not a copy created by them, but I came to this world through the passage inside the Westward Demon from the very beginning, and became the 'Yuko' here again."

Looking at Wu Ye's astonished face, Yuko couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and her tone became timid: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't know this myself until I started again. Only when we return there can we truly "

"I know," Takeya gently interrupted Yuko's words, and a reassuring smile appeared on his face again: "I don't think you need to worry about things of this level, Yuko. We are friends, right? ."

"Takeya. Thank you."

Putting down the burden in her heart, Yuko continued what she had just said: "The 'Yuko' over there, that is, me, is actually a very ordinary guy. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the past era. I just simply sealed it with my body. Youkai Sakura Saikyo, and will be remembered later as a necessary condition for the birth of 'Yuyuko'."

Wu Ye thought for a while and said: "It seems to be very similar to what I saw in the memory of 'Adam' - that is, the memory of the original 'I'."

"There is still a little difference," Yuko added: "'I' and 'Takeya' over there have not formed any bonds, and we are even just acquaintances with Seimei and Reimu. In 'I' In that memory from thousands of years ago, only Zi and "

Wu Ye's face looked a little ugly: "You over there are probably friends with that guy and Luo Tianshu, right?"

Whenever he mentioned this name, he would feel a little irritated. When he thought that Yuuko would interact with the other person, or even be his former good friend, he felt very complicated in his heart.

"No, the person who formed a bond with 'me' is not Luo Tianshu, but his sister." After saying that, Yuko looked behind Takeya with complicated eyes, where another person was standing. A passerby in this world.

Takeya also turned around at this time and looked at the evil immortal who once ran rampant in Gensokyo. At this moment, there was only a hollow look of despair on his face.

Huo Qing'e slowly raised her gaze and said in a calm tone: "The person who formed the relationship with Youzi is my prototype. She is Luo Tianshu's twin sister, and her name is Luo Tianyi .”
