Chapter 254

But this is just a last gasp.

One day, the pollution from the outside world will destroy this last fantasy town, and all the ancient things will disappear.

The monsters live on the fear of humans. Human fear is the food of monsters and the basis of their existence.

But if one day humans are no longer afraid of monsters, then the monsters who have lost their basis for existence will naturally disappear in history.

And this day may not be far away.

Seeing the master's sad mood, Yakumo Lan said cautiously: "... Lord Murasaki, if that day really comes, perhaps we can untie the great barrier."

"... There are enough gods, ghosts and monsters in Gensokyo. If they are all released, it may bring enough fear to humans."

Yakumo Yukari's cold and beautiful eyes glanced at Yakumo Lan, and her thin lips opened slightly, her voice was arrogant and cold: "... Lan, be careful! Are you going to ruin our years of hard work?"

Yakumo Lan saw the master's expression, she hurriedly bowed and said: "... Lan dare not!"

Soon, the coldness in Yakumo Yukari's eyes disappeared, she became gentle again, and said softly: "... We know that you are also thinking about the entire monster tribe."

"... But now is different from the past. Through self-learning, humans have gradually gotten rid of the monsters. Fear of human existence. "

"Although if all the monsters in Gensokyo appeared in the outside world, it would bring temporary chaos and cause some panic among humans. "

"...But now humans are no longer ignorant. I'm afraid they want to capture us and study the blood and so-called genes of monsters. "

"Yakumo Yukari pointed with her delicate jade hand and opened her mouth slightly: "...Do you see that place? That's the zoo of humans."

"...If that day really comes, maybe monsters will be precious animals, and people will lock them in cages to appreciate them."

"Especially for a beautiful vixen like you, you should know the malice of humans. Who knows how many rich and powerful people will capture you and use you as a plaything to vent their physiological desires. "

"Yakumo Yukari heard her master's words, her fair cheeks flushed slightly, but she also knew that Yakumo Yukari's words were not alarmist.

"The survival soil of monsters lies in fear, and the survival soil of gods lies in faith."

"...But this is only the basis of our existence. If we want to exert our strength, we also need the support of magic and demon power."

"But since the industrial revolution of mankind, magic and demon power have been decreasing. With the ability of monsters, we are sure to turn this island country under our feet into a monster country."

"...But what's the use of that? The number of monsters is too small, far from the number of humans."

"Every time we squander a bit of power, it is difficult to replenish it. In the end, when our power is exhausted, we will only become slaves of humans."

Yakumo Yukari sighed, not knowing whether it was because of old age, and began to recall the glory of the past.

In the Heian period a thousand years ago, humans were afraid of monsters, and countless monsters were born in human fear.

At that time, the earth veins and the sky were filled with enough magic for monsters to squander, and from time to time, you could see the night parade of a hundred demons.

But the heyday of monsters has long ended, and now is the era of humans.

Especially since humans have invented many terrible weapons. Yakumo Yukari is only a mysterious power, but she can't destroy a city with one blow.

Not to mention the ability to destroy the planet.

If she really had this ability, she would have built a kingdom of monsters instead of a fantasy.

"Compared to humans, these demons that have only appeared in the last few decades are even more worrying."

Yakumo Yukari looked sad. She opened her folding fan to cover half of her jade face, and stared at the land under her feet with a cold gaze.

"Lan, look, there is a fox right over there in Kyoto..."

Yakumo Yukari pointed again, this time pointing to another distant mountain.

Yakumo Lan also took a look, she lowered her eyes slightly and said: "... But that is not a monster, but a demon!"

Yakumo Yukari said softly: "... Yes, that is a demon!"

"... Monsters have lost the fear of humans and have become difficult to survive, and the appearance of these demons has taken away the last fear of monsters from humans."

"... The survival of monsters has become more difficult."

Yakumo Lan said with a worried look on her face: "... Lord Yukari, where do these demons come from?"

The eyes of the Monster Sage also flashed with doubts, she slowly shook her head and said: "... You ask me, I can't answer."

"... They are like from another world, suddenly appeared."

"These demons were born in hell , living according to various human concepts. "

Lan's expression slightly changed: "... Hell?"

Yakumo Yukari waved her hand and said: "... You worry too much, Lan! This hell is not the same as the hell judged by the King of Hell, Shiki Eiji."

"...Besides, Shiki Eiji can only manage the judgment of humans after death in Gensokyo, but she can't manage outside of Gensokyo."

"And the hell where these demons were born is just the name of these demons themselves. It is more like a strange space."

The nine-tailed fox asked carefully: "... Lord Yukari, have you been to that hell?"

The monster sage narrowed his beautiful eyes and replied softly: "...Ah, of course I have been there! I once tried to destroy the so-called hell so that the demons would not appear again. "

"... This will give the monsters more time."

"But we failed, not because we encountered an opponent that is difficult to defeat. Those demons are not very strong. Even the most powerful demons in hell are not our opponents."

"...5.5... It's just that the power that constitutes this hell makes us feel terrified. These demons are slaves of this mysterious power."

"If you kill them in hell, they will be resurrected in the world. If you kill them in the world, they will be resurrected in hell again. This cycle repeats and you can't kill them all."

Yakumo Lan clenched his hands subconsciously when he heard this. Lord Zi is already one of the strongest monsters and the most intelligent monster.

If even Lord Zi can't do anything, then I'm afraid it will be impossible to completely eliminate these demons, and the last living soil of monsters will be eaten away.

"When you are desperate, maybe you can only fight for the last time."

Yakumo Zi said faintly, and she took out a piece of black paper from her arms.

The paper seemed to absorb all the light around it, like a terrifying black hole.

Holding the piece of paper, Yakumo Ziyu's hand trembled slightly, and her expression was hesitant.

She didn't know if she really wanted to open this mysterious thing.

What would happen then?

Is it hope for the monsters, or the complete extinction of the monsters? .

Chapter 105: Borrow something from the Queen!

"Mrs. Zi!"

When Yakumo Lan saw the thin black piece of paper in Yakumo Zi's hand, her hair stood up, and an inexplicable panic surged from the deepest part of her heart.

She just glanced at the piece of paper and quickly turned her head, saying in horror: "...Mr. Zi, why did you take it out?"

Although there was only a trace of breath on the piece of paper, the depth and antiquity made Yakumo Lan's soul tremble.

She believed without hesitation that if she could use that trace of incredible power, it would even be enough to annihilate the planet under her feet.

Yakumo Lan didn't know why Mr. Zi took it out.

Just a trace of breath was so terrible, so if this black piece of paper had an owner, how terrible would that owner be?

Is there such a terrifying existence in this world?

When he first saw this piece of paper, Yakumo Lan suspected that it was related to the moon.

But after Yakumo Yukari told him, Lan knew the true situation of the moon people.

Those people on the moon are actually unable to take care of themselves now.

Don't look at the moon people who seem to have a strong level of technology, seemingly stronger than the current earthlings.

But Yakumo Lan clearly knows that the technology of the 28th moon people also relies on external energy such as magic, and is more like mysterious technology.

In this era, especially after entering the millennium, the level of magic in the atmosphere began to plummet, as if rejecting all mysteries.

Most of the weapons of the moon people will slowly lose their effect.

This is also the reason why the moon people built a barrier similar to the Gensokyo barrier on the moon.

The purpose of their barrier is to preserve the magic inside the moon with the barrier to prevent the magic from leaking out.

The moon people look down on the earth people, but when the earth people landed on the moon, the moon people did not react at all, which shows that the moon people are timid and empty inside.

The resources on the moon are not as abundant as those on the earth, so the moon people cannot redevelop human technology.

It can be said that the moon people are also in a stage of decline, but compared with the monsters on the ground, the situation of the moon people is much better. At least their civilization is still relatively developed.

Yakumo Yukari stroked the black paper. Lan was also with her when she picked it up, so Lan naturally recognized it.

"Since I got this strange paper and felt that the symbol on it was similar to 'Zoroastrianism', I secretly investigated it."

"... But I didn't find any results. 'Zoroastrianism' has long disappeared in the long river of history, and even their sacred fire has been extinguished."

"I also doubted whether there are any powerful existences among humans, but after my investigation, I found that humans are losing their mysteries more thoroughly than monsters."

"... There are almost no people like the Onmyoji of the past among humans now."

"And even if there are humans who master the mysteries, they shouldn't be this kind of It is not a religion that has disappeared for who knows how many years, but "Christianism". "

"... We have secretly been to the Vatican, and there are only ordinary people there."

Yakumo Yukari stroked the piece of paper with her slender and soft fingers, and said with a deep look: "... Even if humans now have some special powers, they rely on the contract with the devil."

"... Those powers do not belong to humans, but to the devil."

"The strange piece of paper and the noble power attached to it, as well as the devil and hell that suddenly descended on this world, Lan, do you think there is any connection between them?"

Hearing Zi's murmur, Yakumo Lan did not speak.

Even as a wise fox, Yakumo Lan's talent in mathematics is enough to make her one of the greatest mathematicians.

But facing this kind of thing without any intelligence information, she could not distinguish and analyze anything.

Yakumo Yukari asked casually, and she did not expect Lan to answer her.

"Lan, time is running out, and Gensokyo will not last long. The appearance of those demons has taken away the fear that the monsters need, which will only accelerate the collapse of Gensokyo. "

"...More than a hundred years ago, we established Gensokyo. Even though we knew that this act of escape was only prolonging the lives of the monsters that were bound to perish, we still did it."

"For more than a hundred years, we have worked diligently, hoping that this place can become the last pure land for monsters. We hope to exchange space for time."

"...But man proposes, God disposes. We still haven't found a way to save the monsters. The appearance of the devil is completely desperate."

"We also thought about whether to launch a second lunar war and rob the land of the moon people."

"...But I thought about it and the chances of winning were not great. Even if we won, both sides would suffer."

"By then, the moon's barrier will be destroyed, all the magic power will leak out, and the moon will completely become its current desolate appearance, and there will be no grass there."

"...Even the method of escaping from this planet is useless. What other methods do you think can save the monsters?"

Yakumo Yukari laughed at herself, her tone was indescribably lonely, and her expression was indescribably tired.

"Mr. Murasaki, you have already paid a lot for the monster community."

Yakumo Lan said softly.

She knew that Mr. Murasaki was very tired. He worked hard for Gensokyo and even needed to hibernate to rest every winter.

How could a great monster of a realm need to hibernate? It was just that Yakumo Murasaki had given all her power to the great barrier, and her sense of existence was getting weaker and weaker.

Murasaki shook her head. Her crystal-like eyes looked at her shikigami with a gentle expression, and her eyes were full of gentleness and charm: "... Lan, do you want me to give up?"

"...What's the point of giving up? The demise of monsters does not mean that I can survive. Although I am a monster of a realm, I am more powerful than ordinary monsters."

"But that's just a matter of time before death. This is probably the last chance."

Yakumo Murasaki stared at the black paper in his hand with burning eyes.

"I'm not a good person. If the owner of this thing can save the monsters, that would be the best. I'm willing to pay any price."

"...And if I release some terrifying monster, then at worst, the monsters and humans will perish together. Anyway, we have nowhere to retreat!"

Yakumo Yukari's cold and charming eyes revealed a cruel and ruthless look.

The sage of the monsters is also a big monster, with her own determination and terror.

Yakumo Lan said no more, she would accompany her master to bear everything.

Sai Go walked on the white marble 940 steps of the 'Salamander' headquarters.
