Afterlife Blows Up Gensokyo

Sitting next to Bai when she received it, the girl's voice was vaguely filled with nostalgia.

"[Gensokyo Origin] I have already compiled the third edition. If it wasn't for your help, I would never have come to this point."

"Are you Hoeda Rei now or who?"

Turning his head to look at the girl next to him whose appearance was quite different from before, Shi Bai raised his eyebrows.

"According to the ethical factors of the present world, Hida Rei is my ancestor, but if it is based on the nature of the cycle of life and death in the underworld, Hida Rei is me, and I am not Hiida Rei."

"Oh? Really? You seem to have changed a lot now compared to that time before. How about it, will you now regret the choice you made at that time?"

Turning back and continuing to brush seasoning on the skewers on the grill, Shi Bai replied casually.

"I can see that you seem to be a little confused."

"It's not called confusion, or it's a problem that has troubled me for a long, long time."

The girl raised her head and looked at the endless dark void above her head.

"I have come into contact with a lot of monsters, as well as a lot of humans. I can recall most of the things, but some memories will gradually become fragmented with the passage of time. In those memories that gradually become fragmented Among them, some people and things are gradually drifting away from me. Compared with the 100 years in the underworld, the decades in this world are so insignificant."

"Doesn't it feel real? That's because there is nothing that can impress you...Himida Ami, the son of the third generation Miari, and also the third compiler of Gensokyo Origin, if I remember If that's right, the period of Gensokyo you were in at that time was the period when Saigyoujia was still in Gensokyo, so you should know Yuyuko Saigyouji."

Shi Bai spoke calmly.

"On the one hand, the more than ten years of mediocre time as a human being, and on the other hand, the hundred years of life in the underworld as an undead, it is normal for you to have this kind of confusion, because I have also had this kind of confusion before. .”

"...Tell me, how can I get rid of this confusion."

After a moment of silence, the girl whispered in her mouth.

"I'm starting to feel scared now. I'm even afraid of reincarnation. I know that this kind of thought shouldn't exist in my heart, but I can't stop thinking about it. In Mingmeng, I also left Gensokyo without a trace. After that, there is nothing worth looking forward to in this world. No one understands me, no one knows me. The Hiida family just regards me as a special awe-inspiring existence. Follow the planned life path to contact monsters step by step Writing monsters and watching those monsters eating people and those humans killing monsters, that feeling sometimes even drives me crazy... I can't hold it any longer."

"What you see is the chaotic side and the dark side, but there is always light in the dark night, and there is order in the chaos."

Putting down the seasoning brush in his hand, Shi Bai handed a few freshly grilled skewers to the other party.

"As I said, this road is difficult to walk."

"……I know."

"is it?"

Shi Bai smiled.

"Since you have a set goal, you will never be confused. Those so-called confusions are only temporary. I know what you are pursuing, but the more a tree yearns for the light from a high place, it The roots must go downward, toward the soil, toward the depths of darkness. Beauty is just a momentary feeling, only truth is eternal, and truth will never be beautiful, and what you want to explore and record is not exactly Are these never beautiful and real?"

"reality……"

The girl suddenly let out a soft sigh in her mouth.

"I have the courage to explore the dark and the confidence to explore the truth, but those so-called truths are sometimes unacceptable. Monsters kill humans, humans hunt monsters, and who is right between humans and monsters? Who is at fault?"

"These things are also real."

"It's also... true?"

"Yes, these things are also true. The so-called truth is actually a fact that cannot be accepted by the public. The killings that occur under the competition for survival, there is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil... Let me ask you a question, What would you do if a wolf wanted to hunt a lamb that was just a few months old, and you happened to come across it?"

"Hmm... drive that wolf away?"

"Poor wolf, because without this little lamb to fill his stomach, this wolf will not survive this winter and will starve to death. Your protection of the sheep is a disaster for the wolf."

"...Let that wolf eat that sheep?"

"Poor little lamb, who was just a few months old and hadn't seen this wonderful world yet, and died because of your reluctance to save him. Your protection for wolves is also a disaster for sheep."

"........."

The girl stopped talking.

"That's why I said, in the face of survival, there is no distinction between good and evil."

Shibai shrugged indifferently.

"If you can think clearly about this, you will no longer be confused."

Chapter 23 Excellent Oolong Tea～

Whether it is the underworld or hell, there is no distinction between day and night. No matter when and where, the sky is always the endless dark void.

"How is it, have you enlightened successfully?"

Holding a glass of wine and coming to the man's side, Heka poked the man's arm with his finger.

"Ah...it's about the same. In fact, it's not a big problem. Even without my guidance in the future, she will be able to come out by herself in the future."

Taking the wine glass handed over to him from the opponent's hand, Shi Bai nodded slightly.

"Actually, everyone like this kind of thing... Pfft! Cough cough cough you, what the hell are you!?"

After drinking half a glass of wine, he frantically fanned his mouth with his hands like a fan, and Shibai grinned.

"Oolong tea."

Blinking, Heka looked innocent.

"...Are you taking revenge?"

It took four glasses of saliva to suppress the strange taste in his mouth, and when he saw Heka sitting on the railing in front of him, shaking his feet, the corners of Shibai's mouth twitched.

"Hmph, am I the kind of person who chooses revenge because you held a banquet but didn't call me? It doesn't exist."

With a soft snort, Heka made a big cross in front of him with both hands.

"How about it, the oolong tea I specially blended tastes good, right?"

"Yes, yes, it is simply unforgettable."

Feeling the tingling sensation on his tongue, Shibai rolled his eyes.

"Didn't you say that you don't want to see Xiao Siji for fear of being lectured by her? Besides, with your lazy and trouble-free personality, you wouldn't come here even if I invited you in the past, right?"

"What is trouble? This is obviously a place where you can eat and drink for free!!"

Swinging down heavily with one hand, Heka's tone was quite determined, and there was quite obvious resentment in it.

"Do you know? I'm so poor that I haven't eaten for many days!! I have helped you so much, and I have to do all those things, but you didn't invite me to treat you. Uninvited!!!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't not treat you as a treat, I will definitely next time, I will definitely next time."

He spoke in a tone like coaxing a child, Shibai couldn't laugh or cry.

"I don't understand. You can pay yourself a salary, why are you crying poor?"

"Rules can't be broken, I want to lead by example."

Stretching out a finger in front of him, Heka looked serious.

"If even I can embezzle money and use it at will, then the financial system that took so much effort to build is meaningless. If I can spend money at will, the underworld may have another plunged into a financial crisis."

"But you should also be paid, right?"

Pushing the remaining half cup of [oolong tea] aside, while opening a can of beer for himself, Shi Bai also threw a can of beer to Heka.

"The monthly salary of an ordinary god of death is 100 yuan, and Yan Mo's monthly salary is 1500 yuan. The monthly salary of gods like you is 3000 yuan, which is 30 times that of ordinary gods of death. Isn't 3000 yuan not enough? You use it for a month?"

"Uh... I lost everything in the poker game... Otherwise, why do you think I would come all the way here for a meal?"

Holding the can of beer in both hands, Heka responded dryly in his mouth.

"……you deserve it."

"What, if you hadn't opened that Pandora's box and released things like mahjong, how could I have lost so much money on mahjong!? So it's all your fault in the end!!"

He raised his head and poured himself a sip of beer, Heka had a plausible expression on his face.

"I don't have any money for dinner, please lend me some... Uh, what are those piles of papers in your hand?"

"It's nothing, it's just an IOU you wrote to me before."

Holding the large pile of white strips in his hand and shaking them in front of Heka, Shibai's expression was calm.

"What you said before is like a guy who stole someone else's bicycle and fell off a cliff and died when he went out for fun, and then the family members demand compensation from the owner of the stolen car. Do you think this makes sense?"

"Well... I'll write you another IOU now!!"

After thinking for a while, Heka decisively jumped off the railing and ran into the house.

Shi Bai: "..."

...I knew this guy came here to borrow money! ! !

"Brother, tell me about what happened after you went out this time."

Just when Bai was thinking about how to trick Heka into drinking the remaining half cup of oolong tea for revenge, a voice came from beside him, and Xiao Siji had already sat down on the steps leaning against him .

"Why, are you interested in that kind of thing?"

Glancing at Yuyuko Saigyoji who was talking with Hita Ago Komachi and the others at the banquet, Tokibaro turned his head and smiled and talked to Shiki who was beside him.

"Do you want to know what happened outside the world?"

"Well, because after you came back this time, the crimes on you, brother, have been alleviated a lot."

Xiao Siji nodded quite seriously.

"I think, during this trip, brother, you should have encountered some very interesting things."

"Well... it's really interesting."

After thinking for a while, Shibai nodded in agreement.

"In the first world, there is a magical boy who turned into a magical girl in an attempt to save the world. story……"

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

some world.

"Son, Dad has something to tell you."

Going to the sofa and sitting down, looking at the boy lying on the sofa holding a mobile phone in both hands, Su Ning sighed softly in his mouth.
