Afterlife Blows Up Gensokyo

Seeing the cherry blossoms blowing in the wind in front of him, Master Xixing suddenly laughed.

"I would like to die under the flowers in spring, when the moon is full in February. I hope that after my death, those who pay homage to me can pay tribute with cherry blossoms."

Youyuko Xixingji raised her head and looked forward, but suddenly she couldn't find her father's figure, and what she saw was a sky full of blood-colored cherry blossoms.

................................................

At the time of the full moon in February, Master Xixing passed away under the cherry blossom tree.

—It was a big funeral.

At that time, Shibai was leaving to send Shemei Maruwen and the others to the underworld. Yuyuko Saigyouji presided over her father's funeral wearing a white sacrificial robe. She was still unsmiling, but the expression on her face became more serious than before. The cold soul Yaoji accompanied him all the way.

And a certain man wielding the three divine weapons quietly approached the monster sage Yakumo Zi at this time.

"As you can see, he's finally dead, and we can now have a good talk."

A white-haired man with glasses on his face appeared in front of Yakumo Zi with a smile on his face.

"...When did you find out I was hiding here?"

Withdrawing her gaze from the grand funeral over there, and turning her head, Zi Yakumo looked coldly at the man in front of her.

"I knew it from the beginning, or I guessed it from the beginning, but now I can finally confirm it."

The man had his usual kind smile on his face.

"Can we talk? I know your goals."

"Goal? What do you think my goal is?"

Yakumo Zi had a mocking face.

"The three of you couldn't keep me together before, but now that he's dead, do you think you can keep me here alone?"

"Then let's make a more interesting hypothesis."

Reaching out and pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man smiled indifferently.

"The ability of the monster sage is really hard to deal with. If you want to leave, none of us can stop you. But even after such a long time has passed, your injuries should still not get better. ?”

"........."

Yakumo Zi didn't reply, but the expression on his face became colder.

"Well, it seems that my guess is indeed correct."

Looking at Zi Yakumo in front of him, a hint of teasing flashed in the man's golden eyes.

"Of course, it's really hard to find if you want to hide, so why can't his funeral this time be a trap to catch you and have to eradicate the roots... You think he's dead, maybe he's dead. It's just a fake death, the purpose is to catch you out~"

"!!!"

"Unfortunately, he is indeed dead, so all the above assumptions are not valid. I came to find you secretly by myself, and Yaoji doesn't know about this kind of thing."

The man spread his hands, his words were full of innocence.

"Look, if I want to be against you, I haven't made any preparations until now. Isn't this enough to express my sincerity?"

"what do you want?"

Yakumo Zi's voice was very cold.

"No, no, it should be what you want. You have been hiding at the Xixing Temple's house under the protection of Youyuko from Xixing Temple for such a long time. Even when we came back, we never left. Isn't your goal obvious?"

The man suddenly laughed.

"You want to destroy the Xixingji family and kill everyone here, so as to defend your prestige as a monster sage, right? Don't rush to deny it. I have a special investigation on you. In the past, you But without hesitation, you wiped out an entire group of monsters who were unwilling to submit to you."

"So what? Are you going to stop me?"

Yakumo Zi sneered.

"I don't think you have the ability to stop me."

"No, no, no, I don't have the extra thought to do this kind of thing. Is there any good for me to stop you?"

The man waved his hand.

"What I want is cooperation. I have to get some things, but Yaoji will never give them to me, and I can't beat him, so I have to ask for help."

"……Cooperation?"

As if she never expected to hear such a word from the man in front of her, Zi Yakumo was obviously stunned.

"That's right, it's cooperation. As long as you agree to cooperate, I will tell you everything you want to know."

The man wore a strange smile on his face.

"Don't you wonder what we've been doing all these years?"

"Before talking about cooperation, you should report your name first."

Taking a cold look at the white-haired man in front of her, Yakumo Zi sat down in front of the stone table.

"Also, I don't think you will betray."

"Betrayal? How could I betray? Everything I do now is for justice."

With a chuckle, the man also sat down at the table.

"As for my name, my name is Rinnosuke Morijin."

"Say it straight, what do you want from the Xixingji family?"

Yakumo Zi looked noncommittal.

"The key, everything, everything...or the origin."

Opening his hand in front of the table and then slowly clenching it, Morijin Rinnosuke spoke word by word.

"That is the authority of everything, the omnipotent elixir, which is infinite and unique."

"You seem to be a delusional lunatic."

Yakumo Zi was expressionless.

"This? It is the deepest secret hidden in the world. Ordinary people can't know it in their whole life. I am willing to share it with sincerity."

Sen Jinlin's help was not annoyed, but smiled indifferently.

"For so many years, what do you think the three of us are doing? Is it a lot of killing? No, we are actually collecting the origin. The origin of the world is all living beings, and that is the most precious thing in the world."

"Precious? If that thing was as powerful as you said there, he wouldn't have died."

Yakumo Zi's words were full of sarcasm.

"Because he wants to leave the things he collected with great difficulty to his daughter, and he himself is willing to die, otherwise, he will never die now."

Morijin Rinnosuke sneered.

"The power he possesses is the power to manipulate death, but using this power also requires a huge price. If the will is not strong enough, then the power of death will run amok and spread, turning everything in the world into hell... ...that is the pure power of absolute death."

"But he is dead now, and that power should have disappeared."

As if recalling the previous battle, Yakumo Zi frowned slightly.

As the only being who has ever faced that power and survived it, she understands that terrifying power of death better than anyone else.

"Disappear? No, that power will not disappear, it will only be inherited."

Mori Jinlinzhisuke spoke coldly.

"His daughter is the successor of this power, but I don't think his daughter has the qualifications to bear those burdens. The eldest lady of the family who has never experienced blood and water has any ability to shoulder the burden." Those? Once that kind of power goes wild and out of control, you should know better than me what the consequences will be."

"So, this is the righteous thing you said?"

After quickly sorting out what the other party said in her mind, Yakumo Zi had a playful look on her face.

"You just want to steal that kind of power, and by the way, you also want to snatch those origins that shouldn't belong to you? What a grand-sounding justice."

"The so-called justice has always been relative. No matter what you say, I don't care, but I will never leave the fate of the world in the hands of a little girl."

Turning his head, Rinnosuke Mori looked in the direction of the funeral over there.

"The extremely evil Xixing demon conceived from his corpse is about to be born. On the day when the Xixing demon flowers bloom, everyone in the Xixing Temple family and even all surviving lives in the surrounding area will become its sacrifices. I have long ago I have already started to make preparations. The cherry blossom trees all over Gensokyo, including the corpses buried under the trees, are the huge magic circle I set up, and the followers of the Saigyouji family that I am responsible for gathering are I have chosen a sacrifice long ago... with 10 people as sacrifices, I will solve this trouble once and for all."

"...I really think you're crazy."

After a long silence, Yakumo Zi spat out a few words.

"Crazy? No, it's not crazy, it's a necessary trade-off."

Mori Jin Linzhisuke's face was full of indifference.

"On the day when the westbound demon flowers bloom, all the humans living here in the human world, all the youkai on the Youkai Mountain, and all the creatures in Gensokyo...they will all die, and they will all be sacrifices offered by me."

"It's a crazy and interesting proposal, and I agreed to cooperate."

Spreading the folding fan given to her by Yuyuko Saigyouji in her hand, Yakumo Zi nodded.

"I don't care about the death of human beings. It would be best if the monsters on the monster mountain died. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I need the source."

Morijin Rinnosuke took a deep breath.

"He gave that kind of thing to Yaoji for safekeeping, and I can't beat Yaoji. But after today's funeral is over, Yaoji will definitely give that thing to Yuyuko Saigyouji. I will never also Impossible to shoot his daughter, but you can."

"Are you sure Yuyuko will give me that precious thing?"

Yakumo Zi's eyes flickered a few times.

"Although she and I can be regarded as friends now, don't forget that my identity is a monster. No matter how kind she is, it is impossible for human beings to trust a monster so much, right? Your words are obviously contradictory for attacking Youyouzi while secretly plotting against her."

"It's just asking her to let go of the things that she shouldn't have to bear. Yaoji will protect her. After finding out that something can't be done, Yaoji will take her to escape here as soon as possible."

Glancing at the monster sage in front of him, Rinnosuke Mori spoke lightly.

"The Xixingji family will definitely be destroyed. This is for sure. Escaping two or three should be tolerable for you, right?"

"Well, of course."

Closing the folding fan in her hand, Zi Yakumo narrowed her eyes slightly.

"But you just trust me that much? Since that thing is really so precious, why should I give it to you after I got it?"

"Unless you want to have something to do with the power of death, then you can take it. You almost died last time, right?"
