Originally, the bamboo mat and low table brought by Reimu, a place for everyone to chat, eat, criticize and brag in the afternoon, are now occupied by a strange little girl.
It was a girl-like creature that could be classified as a loli in appearance. She wore a white sleeveless thin shirt on the upper body and a dark blue-purple triple pleated skirt on the lower body. She looked energetic and dressed up with long light yellow hair.
The hair is grown all the way to the waist, and is tied up casually with a white hairband at the end. This is obviously a very stable hairstyle, but because of the big red bow on the girl's head, she looks more playful and girlish.
She has a very young appearance, and her big eyes reflect reddish-brown light in the night. Apart from her appearance, the most eye-catching thing about her is the purple gourd in her hand that is twice as big as her head, and the iron wrapped around her body.
chain, and a pair of big horns on her head.
Sitting across from this girl was the guy I had met today, the winged path girl Shomeimarufumi. The two of them occupied the low table that originally belonged to Reimu (actually, considering Reimu's method of obtaining this thing, this table
It should belong to me), and now he is busy changing glasses. When we get closer, a strong aroma of wine hits our face.
"Hey, Reimu, and Zi, are back?"
The girl with the weird big horns raised the big gourd in her hand and said hello from a distance, and the sound of clear water came from the gourd.
"Watermelon (the fragrant one...ahem, another name, please give me a try)?" Reimu called out a little unexpectedly, and as a result, we were silent for three seconds.
"Stay away from Pao Pao from now on, especially don't follow that girl to study the second Touhou design." I patted Reimu on the shoulder, who had a miserable look on his face. "Last time, a Gundam driver came to Shadow City to deliver a mission. Let Pao Pao do it."
After being caught, I educated him for half an afternoon and ended up being brainwashed. When I got home, I announced in front of a group of Gundam pilots that humanoid infantry combat robots were scum - that grandson was almost beaten to death."
Reimu glanced at me and continued to be miserable: "...I'm afraid what should I do if I talk in my sleep and call myself Kohaku?"
I:"……"
The girl called Watermelon over there was stunned for a moment, then scratched her cheek drunkenly: "Reimu, what watermelon? Do you want to eat watermelon?"
Lingmeng burst into tears: "Cuixiang, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Oh," the horned girl named Cuixiang shrugged inexplicably. She seemed to be quite concerned about being called a watermelon, but she soon gave up on this question that required consuming brain cells and instead shook her hand.
The big gourd in front of me greeted a group of us in a carefree manner, "Come on, come on, let's have a drink together! You always have to drink before working to gain strength!"
"You don't need to introduce me, that's Ibuki Suika," Yakumo Murasaki secretly came over and whispered in my ear, "I've known you for a long time, don't look at her like this, she is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan.
She is very strong and has a straightforward personality. Originally, she never showed up in this incident. She seemed to think that it didn't matter if she didn't participate. Moreover, she doesn't like to listen to others' orders. It took me some effort to persuade her to come over. Cuixiang is very kind to people.
Hao Zhang, if it were you, you should be able to be friends with her."
"Really, thank you for your hard work this time." I turned to look at Yakumo Murasaki, "Do you have a good relationship with this ghost girl? This is the first time in my memory that you have taken the initiative to introduce people to me in Gensokyo.
.”
"We've known each other a long time ago. We have some similar interests. You are also my friend, so I wanted to get acquainted with you."
They have similar interests...well, I won't go into detail about the voyeuristic purple mother's similar interests.
"Ha, you are the human, the one who brought Murasaki and Reimu back."
Suddenly a careless question came from the side, interrupting the conversation between Yakumo and I. It turned out that after greeting Reimu, Ibuki Suika saw that we were lagging behind and couldn't help running over. She was obviously a lolita.
The girl looked up and down at me, a strange outsider, with bold eyes. Ibuki Suixiang stared here for a long time before finally scratching her hair: "Ah - outsider, outsider, Murasaki seems to have gone
What an amazing place, she said a lot of nonsense, but I couldn’t understand any of it, but anyway, you are a nice guy, you took in Murasaki and Reimu who were in trouble at that time, right?"
I immediately looked at Zi’s mother with emotion: Such a realistic description, this is the conscience of the adopted people. Compared with that geese who plucked their hair and talked about running trains, Zi, you are simply from the new era.
What a role model!
"Here, here you go!" Cuixiang suddenly patted me on the shoulder, with such strength that it was jaw-dropping, and then stuffed the big gourd in his hand over, "Because he is a nice guy, so just drink it! I don't plan to drink it anyway.
Find out where you come from, and if you can drink, you will be a friend!"
Is there anyone who uses this method to judge the qualifications of friends?
I was dumbfounded by this big-horned lolita's bold behavior, but knowing that it was very rude to refuse a toast from a ghost tribe, I didn't shirk it and reached out to take the other person's wine gourd: Ordinary girls might still care.
Sharing a drinking vessel with a man would cause embarrassment, but the bold lolita in front of her had absolutely no such thoughts.
I lifted the heavy wine gourd and poured God knows how much strong alcohol inside into my mouth in one breath - and then I became stupid.
Damn it! Holy Gods and Buddhas, is this pure alcohol?
After just one sip, I immediately felt like I was about to die. My drinking capacity was only average. I should have thought that this kind of "Royal Sake", one of the four ghost kings, was simply not something I could handle.
, after one sip, I felt like I was poisoned by alcohol. I stood there with smoke on my face. If I looked at you from a distance, I would have thought there was a steam humidifier here!
Although my strengthened body will not fall down due to this kind of stimulation, the strong stimulation of the taste by the strong liquor still made me take a breath. Ibuki Suika also looked at this side a little dumbfounded. After a long time, she suddenly revealed something unexpected.
With a satisfied expression: "Wow, you are real! Even ghosts like this wine would not dare to drink it down like this! I just want you to have a taste. You are such a good person!"
Damn it, you should have said this important thing earlier. If you had said it earlier, would I still keep telling you this?
It took me a long time to finally recover from the hell of industrial alcohol filling my brain. With a face full of resentment, I looked at Cuixiang who was happily pouring wine into his mouth and the one next to him who obviously knew something in advance but didn't get anything.
Said Yakumo Murasaki, then reached out and took out a bottle of something from her pocket: "Ibuki Suika, as a courtesy, how about you try some of the drinks from our world."
"Just call me Cuixiang! You are a very down-to-earth guy, not like some humans who are naughty, so we are friends." The ghost girl patted my shoulder generously and reached out to take the bottle. "What is this?"
?Wine? The taste is quite strong."
Curiously sniffing the bottle in his hand, Cuixiang raised his neck, drank all the contents, and then wiped his mouth with unfinished content: "It tastes like wine, but it's a pity that it doesn't have the aroma of wine, and it's a bit solid inside."
Something. But it’s really strong. It’s suitable to drink before a fight. What is this?”
My face went numb: "Ninety-nine and a half percent solid ethanol."
"Any more?"
I feel like I have been completely defeated by this familiar guy: The Lolita who can drink a kilogram of pure ethanol in one breath without changing her expression will definitely rule the world!
Shandora patted my shoulder comfortingly, with a "don't take it personally" look of encouragement on her face. I could only shrug. Fortunately, my sister didn't follow me here today, otherwise I would just rely on this area at this time.
The atmosphere is full of alcohol, and now Gensokyo should be littered with corpses: the seven-character mantra of "raising a glass to your lips and making a splash" is no joke.
But no matter what, it seemed that she had aroused a lot of favor in Suixiang by such a mistake. She is a straightforward person and likes people who are straightforward. In addition, she has the introduction of Yakumo Murasaki, an old friend.
After the girl asked for a second bottle of pure alcohol and a lot of dwarven ale from Azeroth, she announced that she had regarded me as a friend.
"Although it is regrettable that you have a bad drinking capacity, you are surprisingly frank, and you brought so much wine as a gift, which can barely make up for your drinking capacity!" Cuixiang said with a slight confusion, her face glowing red, "At the beginning
When Zi said he was an emperor, I thought he was an annoying human being, but he turned out to be quite interesting...Eh? What's going on?"
Cuixiang was originally busy dealing with a bottle of Ironforge's special "burning throat" spirit, but something suddenly attracted her attention. The little girl pointed to the western sky in surprise, and the sharp light in her eyes swept away the scene just now.
He looked slightly drunk.
Looking in the direction of her finger, what caught my eye was a light spot that was lighting up rapidly. This light spot was gathered at the bottom of Atlantis, as if several energy flashes around it suddenly came together, crackling.
Blue-white lightning was inspired from the light spot, whipped on the nearby metal vines, and triggered a luminous phenomenon like a chain reaction. Like nebula lightning, the violent flash was transmitted several kilometers away, and in this nebula lightning
In the center, the light spot that first appeared had expanded into a dazzling white ball of light within a second or two. There was almost no time for people to react. With a dull and continuous explosion, the ball of light exploded like broken crystal.
Crystal fragments fell from the blast point one after another, falling at the foot of Monster Mountain like a beautiful rain of light, but the consequences they brought were definitely not that beautiful: the raging forest fires were burning in those places that contained extremely powerful things.
The high-energy debris soared into the air before it hit the ground, illuminating a large area within a few seconds.
The red fire in the distance and the noise of some monsters splashed into the mountainside where many "people" gathered at the same time. The monsters who were drinking and resting stood up and looked at the direction of the forest fire. Then some monsters who were good at flying rose into the sky.
I started to gather my friends to find helpers to put out the fire, but I had already reacted by now. I reached out and pointed far away in the direction of the wildly spreading fire, and the energy suppression spread immediately: "Calm down."
The forest fire that had spread for several kilometers disappeared in an instant, leaving only the faint smoke in the darkness to prove what had just happened there.
Not only Suixiang and Yuyuko, whom I met for the first time, but also Reimu and the others saw me take action for the first time. The completely incomprehensible power directly stopped the spreading fire, which made them couldn't help but look over with surprise.
, but I no longer care about responding to these chattering guys: an urgent report has entered the information link, which is the latest intelligence from agents within Atlantis.
The No. 2 main energy pipe located at the bottom of the floating island ruptured, one-third of Atlantis's psionic energy pipe network was blocked, and out-of-control psionic energy was overflowing the floating island.
Fortunately, the ruptured energy pipe was on the side far away from the monster mountain, and there were no casualties among the monsters here. Unfortunately, their rest time was over.
I forwarded this message directly to Yakumo Murasaki and Reimu. The two knew that this was no longer a joke, and immediately began to give orders: "Gather quickly! Atlantis energy is leaking! Tenwai Island will rise within thirty minutes."
null!"
In fact, there was no need for them to inform them. The explosion just now had already made the nervous monsters understand that the action was about to begin. The powerful monsters who had only rested for a while had already begun to replace their companions' positions in a nervous and orderly manner, as much as possible.
The power transfer was carried out smoothly, Cuixiang muttered something, drank the almost 100% ethanol in one breath and ran to help.
Sandora ordered the mothership to conduct a remote scene projection. The originally dark bottom of Atlantis was suddenly covered by a soft light film, with red and green colors clearly displayed on it, and it was busy ascending.
The monsters prepared by Sora were stunned for a moment, but soon they received Reimu's tough explanation: "Concentrate in the green area! The energy pipes in the red area have collapsed. Those who plan to survive the tribulation should wait below.
Get struck by lightning!"
Although no one knows what crossing the tribulation is, none of the monsters who saw the forest fire caused by the falling of a few light particles would be so stupid as to go to the red zone and wait for the crossing.
Although the operation was launched in advance due to unexpected circumstances, it was only a few hours ahead of schedule. Except for some monsters who had not fully rested, there was no risk of chaos in the execution of everything. Under the control of Yakumo Murasaki and Reimu
Under the running command, the monsters of Gensokyo, who had never been accustomed to coalition operations, quickly calmed down from their panic - I think it was because Reimu was throwing around the magic talismans and Shomeimaru Fumi holding the camera, ready to secretly take photos of any embarrassing behavior.
The cooperation of this group of undisciplined parties.
Monsters are all aliens, and they have certain adaptability to the vacuum and radiation of outer space. However, in order to prevent accidents, we have prepared appropriate safety measures for these guys: when Atlantis is in the anti-gravity field
When it finally began to slowly rise into the air under the influence of the floating island, a layer of translucent bubbles also enveloped the huge hemispherical space below the floating island. The prototype of this seemingly weak but actually very reliable barrier was not from Xiling Technology.
The product comes from the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community, which calls it the projected support shield. It is a long-range shield generation system developed by the shepherds in order to preserve important power as much as possible during thousands of years of strangulation.
Tavel modified this simple but creative shield so that it could use psionic energy as the shield structure, thereby increasing its value dozens of times.
Facts have proved that even civilizations that are several times behind the empire will still have creativity that is worth learning from. We should not despise any kind of wisdom and extract value that is beneficial to the empire from any kind of knowledge. This has always been the apostle of Xiling.
The source of rapid evolution, but at the end of the old empire, the apostles forgot this. Their arrogance made them only believe that their own technology could rule everything, and no longer paid attention to any civilization, and even ignored the advice of the gods, which eventually led to
disaster.
Fortunately, now they have regained the power of progress - this is a digression.
"Okay, very good. The lift-off process has started and it looks very stable now. Sandora, how is their mental state?"
Sandora and I personally followed the large group of monsters below to take off into the sky. Sandora was always ready to appease the excitement that these monsters might have when they traveled through the starry sky for the first time, while I had to always deal with the situation in case the monsters got lost.
The energy shock caused by the explosion of the Abyss of Atlantis: Although if such an accident really happens, it is really a question whether I can take care of it instantly.
"It's quite stable." Sandora was suspended in the air, with golden light spread from the end of the flying blond hair behind her, once again forming a CPU-like state. "The most exciting Lingmeng at the moment, the words "demolition compensation" are in my mind.
It's been playing in my head for ten minutes."
I:"……"
Due to the effect of the anti-gravity field, the floating island of Atlantis can lift off vertically without considering any cosmic speed. This brings us great convenience. After confirming that the monsters are really in good physical condition, we lift off
The process gradually accelerated, and in the end, the acceleration acting on the floating islands and monsters even reached dozens of g. The distant horizon had already shown an obvious arc, and the green sky and earth in Gensokyo below disappeared.
: Yakumo Murasaki changed some of the properties of the Hakurei Great Barrier in advance, allowing us to leave that unworldly place five minutes after taking off. In other words, Atlantis is now "outside"
"World".
However, if we turn on the stealth system, humans in the outside world will definitely not notice that a lump of earth comparable to a giant city is rumbling above their heads, although the sudden appearance of a cloud hole in the atmosphere is enough to puzzle them.
"Wow, it turns out this is the world outside now..."
Next to us, an unfamiliar little girl looked down curiously while maintaining her energy output to the outside world. The brightly lit city below and the gradually brightening horizon in the distance made this girl who may have never been out of Gensokyo since the establishment of Gensokyo.
The monster felt particularly curious, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Didn't you expect that the outside world has become like this?"
"There will be times when you are surprised."
I said with a smile, and the other person was immediately startled: "Wow! You talked to me!"
I:"?"
"Wenwen said you are a very dangerous human being! Reimu got pregnant because of talking to you!"
I feel that it is a lifelong regret that I did not use a Patriot shot to knock down the Shemeiwan Wen.
