Chapter 855 Can You Save It?
Because time flow is different, this world is not daytime.

The stars are sparse, and the moonlit night is quiet.

Fuyuki City has ushered in a long-lost quiet night. The entertainment industry in remote coastal towns is far from developed this year, and nightlife is naturally not very popular. Basically, when it gets dark, people stay in home.

Under the quiet night, there are only a few barking dogs in the town occasionally, and the breath of the night is quieter and longer, gentle and lonely.

It was as if even the earth had fallen into a deep sleep.

For the citizens of Fuyuki City, this is indeed a quiet night that has not been seen for a long time. There are not so many chickens flying around, not so many cursing and cursing, and there will be no hysterical hog-killing screams piercing the night sky. The sharp sirens sounded from far to near, and then from near to far...

This is really not friendly to the heart, and it also makes people less confident in the security of Fuyuki City.

But fortunately, the situation has improved greatly in the recent period, and the police station has not been overcrowded for a long time, and the temporary cells of the detention center have been overcrowded.

Yuanzang Mountain.

Liudong Temple.

On the steps in front of the temple gate, a girl with blond hair and green eyes was sitting there quietly, with her knees propped up and her chin resting on her knees, looking at the scattered stars in the night sky with a melancholy expression, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts among.

Arturia forgot how long it had been since she was alone, and quietly looked up at the starry sky.

It feels like the day when I pulled out the sword of choice and became the king of Britain when I was 15 years old. After being a king, there is no part of myself anymore. Sitting on the throne has never shown emotion. She It is like a balance that is precise to a few decimal places, calculating the balance of gains and losses.

This kind of persistence did not come to an end because of the collapse of the kingdom, and her life came to an end, because she hated the destruction of Britain too much, so she refused her own redemption, and finally became a heroic spirit with a dying body, and continued to devote herself In the battlefield across time and space.

And until now—

Frankly speaking, Arturia's previous obsessions have been lifted, she has accepted the fate of Britain, and let go of her knot...

Arturia sighed softly, a look of confusion and uneasiness flashed across her delicate and melancholy face, she stretched out her hand and pulled out a weed on the side of the steps casually, feeling the coolness of the night getting deeper and colder Some, before she knew it, she had been sitting here in a daze for over an hour.

Looking back at Liudong Temple, although the lights are bright, it is still quiet, and there is almost no sound. Even Rin Tohsaka, who is the only one who is not affected, is under such subtle pressure and is careful not to make any movement Come.

With Arturia's keen perception, of course, she can detect the silence in the room. Whether it is Miss Medea or Matou Sakura, this moment is actually the same as her performance.

Although I didn't come out to the yard or outside the temple gate, I sat on the steps and looked at the night sky in a daze.

However, they choose to sit in the living room or in the room in a daze, with gloomy faces or black air all over their bodies. There seems to be no essential difference, or it is not certain that the symptoms are more serious.

——In short, it feels like it will turn black at any time.

Of course Artoria can understand them, after all, she herself feels the same way, and at this moment, she is also full of resentment towards the Master.

Who would have thought that the Master would be so decisive, and he didn't know why he suddenly made up his mind, did he want to cut the mess quickly or something?It's really funny to say it, but everyone is tacitly waiting for him to make a choice.

But now the Master has really made a choice, but he can't accept it...or it should be said, it's not him who can't accept his choice.

In this case, who wants you to cut the mess quickly!It's better to just keep entangled like this.

The result was naturally the same as yesterday, they broke up badly - after he announced the news with great interest and told everyone the decision he was determined to make, the atmosphere became weirdly dull at that time.

No one could sincerely send blessings, including Artoria, everyone was absent-minded and perfunctory, and then left in a hurry with excuses.

Otherwise, they are afraid that they will not be able to control their emotions.

After returning to this world now, a day has passed, and Artoria also calmed down, feeling that... calmness is useless at all!

but……

There is no other way, is there?

The girl showed a self-deprecating bitter smile, looked at the weed in her hand, and didn't know what she was thinking, until the sudden visit of a pure and powerful familiar evil spirit pulled her from a dazed state. woke up.

"Miss Yakumo?"

She raised her eyes and stared straight ahead. Above the mountain path, a dark crack appeared like a crescent moon. Inside, crimson blood-colored eyes were quietly watching the outside world. Above, is a girl sitting sideways.

The long golden hair flows like gold under the moonlight, setting off the bowknot to give people a dreamlike feeling, with a mature and gorgeous temperament coexisting with youth and purity.

Even though she was both female, Artoria couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment.

She collected herself, took a deep breath, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Arturia was not surprised by Yakumo Zi's sudden visit, they all have the authority to enter and exit this world at will, so it is impossible for monsters in this realm to not exist.

It would be better to say that on the boundary line, the Master is on the large barrier of Gensokyo, setting the entrances and exits of the multiple worlds he has mastered there.

"..."

"..."

The monster sage in the realm was silent, looking up and down Artoria, and there seemed to be a strange light shining in his eyes.Arturia didn't know what was going on, so she just kept silent, waiting quietly for the other party to speak.

After a while, the monster girl said calmly: "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in Gensokyo, let me inform you..."

"What does this have to do with me!" Arturia blurted out almost without thinking, but it was extremely rare that this time she decisively expressed her rejection, and the strong sense of denial in her tone was beyond words.

She is not a dull person, she immediately knew the reason for tomorrow's banquet, but because she knew... that's why she absolutely didn't want to go!
"It doesn't matter?" Yakumo Zi smiled softly, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, "I didn't ask you what's the matter, I just came to inform you, remember not to be absent tomorrow..."

She is very satisfied with Artoria's reaction. If the King of Knights really accepts the matter without resistance or resistance at all, then he can't be regarded as a capable helper. something like this -

It seems that I don't want to care about it, but in fact, I really care about it, so that I can truly transform it into the motivation to do things.

"I, I won't go... Well, I mean I won't go." The King of Knights bit his lower lip, feeling even more frustrated. She tried to refuse naturally, but what was the sourness in her tone? I can't hide it, "I have something to do tomorrow, tomorrow..."

"What's going on tomorrow?" the monster girl asked with a light smile.

"This, this...is none of your business, Ms. Yakumo?"

"Can't you say it? Is there anything more important than tomorrow's banquet?"

"This, this..."

"Is it simply that you don't want to go?"

Arturia gritted her teeth tightly, while Zi Yakumo pressed on step by step.

The former's thinking was extremely chaotic for a while, and due to her personality, her upright and noble spirit can be regarded as the embodiment of chivalry, and some of the creeds that she abides by have almost become instinctive in her bones, even at this time. , Lying is absolutely not good at her.

So Artoria stammered, and wanted to explain but there was nothing good to say, so let's make up a reason temporarily, so that she couldn't say anything.

But Yakumo Zi was downplaying, with a smile on her face, and her tone was soft without any sense of sharpness. She just said it in a simple sentence, as if she was chatting casually, which made Artoria feel a little out of breath. Feeling angry, I feel that this big monster is too aggressive.

However, it is also the instinct of the famous knight king to find the opponent's flaws in the confrontation. She quickly realized that there is no need to explain anything to this woman.

and……

She looked suspiciously at the blonde girl sitting on the gap, narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Wait, Ms. Yakumo, what are you trying to say? I think you should be more direct. I don't like this."

"..."

"..."

Yakumo Zi slowly restrained her smile, and she spread her fan to cover half of her beautiful face: "You should understand, then I'll just say it, you really won't go tomorrow? Can it be regarded as something like this? Nothing happened?"

"……if not."

"So you just accepted it?" Yakumo Zi sneered, and said with a bit of resentment: "I came to you first because your priority is the highest, but you didn't even try to fight for it. Just give up like that?"

Although he is a helper, Yakumo Zi also knows that their priorities are obviously different. After all, that hateful person looks like a prostitute and a lot of girls, but in fact he has a deep bond. not much.

The vast majority are Sanae's kind. Although they are a little cautious, they haven't had too many deep or good memories after all, so they have no position. They may feel regretful about this matter, but they probably won't do anything Do……

What Yakumo Zi has to do is very simple. There are many people and strength, so she wants to gather crowds to make trouble!
Only in this way can there be a chance to muddy the water and reshuffle the cards.

Artoria bit her lower lip, and her complexion became even more ugly. She tried her best to suppress her grievance and anger. She could have held it back, but Yakumo Zi directly pointed it out, which made her feel a little bit broken all of a sudden. .

It's like when you are sad, you can hold back, but the premise is that others can't say...

She took a deep breath, and choked back in a cold voice: "Aside from accepting, what else can I do? Don't you accept, Ms. Yakumo?"

but--

"Yes, otherwise, why would I come to you? Naturally, it is because..."

Sitting sideways on the crevice like a crescent moon, the shining soft blond hair hangs straight down, and gently sways with the night wind. The stunning monster girl leans down slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she suddenly smiles. , Say it word by word.

"I don't accept it, I don't allow it, I don't allow it."

The smile is gentle, without thinking, and decisive.

"..."

"..."

Artoria stared at her blankly, and suddenly felt ashamed at this moment, because this liking is liking, and she absolutely refuses to give in, it is only natural for some domineering monster girls.

For a moment, she felt that she was always subconsciously seeking the right, obliterating sensibility with reason, and never being willing to face her emotions frankly. It was really too bad.

Just like back then.

Sensing the change in the mood of the King of Knights, Zi Yakumo restrained her smile and closed her fan: "It seems that you have figured it out, so... now go and convince that Miss Medea and his good sister, I will continue Go get in touch with someone else and let you know later."

"Do you want to call other people?" Artoria was taken aback.

"The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, we only have one chance." The monster sage said lightly: "It's better to get less cake than to get nothing at all."

The main purpose is to muddy the water and reshuffle the cards.

And just like she said, it's better to get less cake than nothing... That damn guy wants to unilaterally and directly announce that the final winner of the competition has been decided?Hehe, do you really think that everything else can be written off?

……

……

"This is Gensokyo. For the next two days, you should stay here at the shrine. It's better to be on the surface side, and it's more convenient to be close to the real side. At least you can surf the Internet and order takeout..."

Xia Ran stretched her waist, yawned, and introduced Gensokyo to Othinus and the others in a lazy tone, "Kamijou, your summer vacation will be over soon, and school must start soon, So I can only come and play for a few days..."

"But Oti, you can consider living here for a long time. To be honest, if you don't plan to go back to your original world, this is a good choice."

He enthusiastically sold the one-eyed girl, trying to get her to join Gensokyo's household registration willingly, so that when the god of magic returned to the former realm of the Nordic gods and climbed to the peak of the infinite world, he would also be bound. Set on his chariot.

If there are two named persons sitting in the main world of his own, the universe will never fall, just like playing a tower defense game, he will also have a sense of accomplishment.

"let me consider it……"

The one-eyed girl said noncommittally, she didn't think it was impossible, but now she wanted to see how this guy ended up dead.

This guy hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, or it should be said that he didn't expect it. Sure enough, people have a fixed mindset.

"The environment here feels very good, just like those scenic spots..."

Kamijou Touma looked at the paradise in front of him, whether it was the layer upon layer of mysterious clouds in the sky, the majestic majesty of the Youkai Mountain, the magnificent scenery of the Jiutian Waterfall not far away, etc., these majestic and beautiful original ecological scenery It made him subconsciously have some associations.

Does the director usually live here?
"The environment is really good and suitable for health preservation. The people living here are all elderly people. A 17-year-old like me always feels out of place with them." The magician said solemnly.

"They're all elderly?" The tea-haired girl was a little surprised, "Is this a nursing home? Besides, it's not convenient for the elderly to live in these places, is it dangerous?"

"How can there be any danger? Didn't you see such a big shrine here?" Xia Ran said with a smile, "Monsters and monsters generally dare not attack human villages easily, so you don't have to worry about anything..."

"Demon, youkai?" Misaka Mikoto's expression was a bit strange. Is there a monster here? "Isn't it dangerous?"

Xia Ran waved her hands and said haha: "No, most places are safe, as long as you don't go to some dangerous places, for example, the monster mountain here is too big, it's easy to get lost, and you may walk to the other side if you are not careful. Go over there, there are still plesiosaurs haunting the river in the middle way..."

He briefly listed a series of points that need attention about the Lost Bamboo Forest, the Magic Forest, the Sun Flower Field, the Scarlet Devil's Mansion, etc., and then concluded: "Basically, that's it, as long as you avoid these more dangerous or The troublesome place, the rest of Gensokyo is safe."

"Then no place is safe?"

Kamijou Touma looked around with the help of the height of the mountain top, and according to the characteristics of those places mentioned by the director, he matched the surrounding areas one by one. How much do you want?
He suddenly felt that he had better not go out in the future, this ghostly place was much more dangerous than Academy City, and with his unlucky physique, he might not be able to come back if he went out.

"It's okay... Hey, Sanae, you're here."

As the magician was speaking, he happened to see the blue-and-white maiden over there walking past with her head down and worried, and quickly stopped her.

"Where did you go just now? Where is Mingzhu? By the way, there is one thing I didn't tell you. Tomorrow night..."

"Is it a banquet? I see, classmate Xia Ran." Dongfenggu Sanae said, she looked at the magician with a strange expression, and her smile was a little forced.

"Hey, who told you?"

"Master Yakumo Zi came to tell us just now..." Lanbai Miko said in a low voice, her tone was a little guilty.

"Zi is so kind?" Xia Ran felt a little strange, and looked around, "But you don't need her to run errands for this kind of thing, where is she now?"

"No, I don't know, I just left..." Dongfenggu Sanae hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Looking at the direction, it should be going to the Eternal Pavilion, it seems to be to inform Princess Huiye, you can go have a look."

This is the only hint she can give, if you look at it now, maybe you can save it.

"Hui Ye? Hui Ye already knew about it, I told her just now, she still looks very cold..." Xia Ran shook her head.
