Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

“As long as you complete the task, I will gradually release the power of the seal, and your strength will slowly recover.”

“…………Huh???”

Another explosive piece of news shocked Chu Baiyuan once again.

Seal?

Could it be the seal that made him lose all his magic power, forcing him to collect the Seven Luminaries Treasures, and which he finally broke with Patchouli's help?

Seemingly seeing what Chu Bai was thinking, the master took the initiative to explain this time:

“After all, you were completely off track at the time. You had all the strength in the world, but you didn't connect with anyone. You only cared about killing and seeking revenge everywhere, searching for secret medicines.”

“So I took the initiative to seal your magic power and planned an encounter, semi-forcing you to withdraw from the conflicts of the magic world. After that, I guided you back to daily life, trying to make you feel the emotions that normal people should have.”

“However, my condition wasn't very good at the time either.”

“So the system's judgment intelligence was a bit low, and after it was fully activated, you even worked as a teacher for so long, and you have recovered normal human emotions.”

Finally, he learned the specific details.

Chu Bai stared blankly at his master, feeling like he had a lot to complain about.

But when he really tried to complain, he didn't know what to say.

The black-haired girl smiled:

“What's wrong, are you feeling sorry for the Seven Luminaries Treasures you used to restore your strength?”

“Don't worry, although it was a bit wasteful to use them to restore your strength, I reawakened the moment I sensed you were trying to break the seal.”

“And I also actively lifted the seal, so the real effect of the Seven Luminaries Treasures was actually to help you strengthen your body and replenish the magic power source you lost over the years.”

“So you can fight Remilia on equal footing the moment you regain your strength. And if you rely on the system to repair the source, it will take you a long time to return to your full strength.”

“…………That's not what I wanted to say.”

Chu Bai scratched his head.

The massive amount of information made even his head feel dizzy.

But everything his master said gradually connected in his mind.

His master planned all of this.

Because his master faked her death, his personality changed drastically, and he gradually strayed from the right path.

In order to bring him back to his original nature, his master sealed his magic power source and planned the encounter that ultimately led to his departure.

After regaining normal emotions in the outside world, he came to Gensokyo under the guidance of the system implanted by his master.

And because he had the ability to manipulate emotions, he needed to forge more bonds and experience more emotions to make his ability stronger. So the system's tasks were mainly about getting close to people or forming bonds.

“Then, I have two last questions.”

After briefly sorting out the general outline.

Chu Bai finally held up three fingers:

“Why did you fake your death in the first place?”

“Why was I born with such a powerful law?”

“And what is the disaster you mentioned earlier that will sweep through Gensokyo?”

The black-haired girl counted on her fingers, then narrowed her eyes slightly:

“……Isn't that three questions?”

Chu Bai raised his thumb:

“Two questions have three questions, isn't that as normal as the Four Heavenly Kings having five people?”

“How is that normal at all!”

Even the black-haired girl was a bit helplessly rubbing her forehead at the somewhat erratic thinking.

But since she said she would tell him everything honestly, she naturally wouldn't hide anything.

So, she took another sip of the Wind God cocktail, and then slowly opened her mouth:

“Let's answer your second question first.”

“The reason why you were born with the law of manipulating emotions…”

“Mhm mhm!”

Chu Bai looked at his master with a face full of anticipation.

Then he saw her slowly open her mouth and say:

“The reason is… I don't know.”

“?”

Chu Bai was struck dumb on the spot:

“Then why did you set up so much! Are you saying there's something you don't know?”

“I really don't know.”

The black-haired girl showed an honest expression:

“But what I can be sure of is that you are definitely not human.”

“Because humans cannot be born with this level of law.”

Chapter 151: Why Does Everyone Keep Dashing Out Without Paying? (Annoyed)

In his long life.

Chu Bai finally understood one thing.

The more cunning people are, the easier they are to fail.

So…

“I'm not going to be a human anymore, Master!”

Chu Bai suddenly took out the Stone Mask and slapped it on his face.

The black-haired girl silently sized him up:

“……You're having fun, aren't you?”

“Of course, after all, I can finally truly play the 'I'm not going to be a human' meme.”

Chu Bai took off the mask and said with tears in his eyes:

“Because after all this, it turns out I'm not even human anymore!”

“Forget about the origin of the law, now even my race is unknown. I might as well just become an unknown youkai!”

Seeing him looking so dejected.

The black-haired girl couldn't help but gently pat his head:

“Don't be discouraged, I really don't know what your race is.”

“But what I can be sure of is that being born with the ability to control laws means you're definitely not a simple race.”

“I even once suspected that you were actually a newborn god, or a high-ranking being like an avatar of the law.”

Of course, these possibilities were immediately ruled out.

Because gods need faith to maintain them, otherwise they will disappear quickly.

And an avatar of the law… with the master's eyesight, it would be impossible not to recognize such an identity.

So he can only be a very advanced race that is obscure and unpopular.

Thinking like this, Chu Bai sighed helplessly:

“Okay, I won't dwell on the race.”

“Anyway, given the current situation, there definitely won't be any deus ex machina or high-dimensional world orphan kind of clichéd plot. My race definitely won't jump out of the Gensokyo style.”

“Next is the second to last question… Master, why did you fake your death in the first place?”

It can be said that it was because of his master's fake death that Chu Bai spent his teenage years in solitude.

According to the current conclusion, the master's fake death was more harmful than beneficial.

Even if she intended to let Chu Bai grow up independently and without protection, she shouldn't have used this method.

And the black-haired girl also sighed leisurely:

“Because during that time, a major accident occurred in Gensokyo.”

“An accident in Gensokyo?”

“Yes.”

The master slowly said:

“Twelve years ago, Gensokyo's previous Hakurei Shrine Maiden… left for some reason. The shrine maiden who inherited the position, Reimu, was still young, weak, and powerless.”

“And among the three sages, one was traveling and one was of unknown whereabouts, only Yakumo Yukari remained at her post.”

“In addition, Gensokyo at that time had almost no external support, it can be said that it was the most vulnerable period.”

“And if I also died for some reason, for 'certain existences', it would be the best time to swallow Gensokyo.”

Chu Bai immediately understood:

“To lure the enemy out?”

“That's right.”

The master's expression was a bit helpless:

“I won't go into the specific details, but in short, I created a reasonable motive for death and used your hand to kill the seemingly defenseless me.”

“But even I underestimated the harm of 'those things'.”

“Originally, I planned to fake my death temporarily, but those things really stalemated with me for several years.”

“After roughly solving the problem, my own state was also damaged, and the time was also not long ago.”

So this fake death event was actually an accident.

Chu Bai understood in his heart, and by the way, he also had some speculation about his master's identity.

First of all, the master should be a local of Gensokyo.

Secondly, her status is probably comparable to those sages, and may even be a great power at the level of ancient gods.

But the master is the master, and he hasn't even finished touring Gensokyo yet, and the map hasn't been fully opened, so he is not curious about the master's identity.

What he is more curious about is other things:

“Then the last question…”

“The enemy of Gensokyo, that is, what exactly are 'those things' that you have repeatedly mentioned?”

This time, the Dragon God did not say it directly, but instead turned on the riddle-man mode again:

“Remember what I told you last time?”

“There is a kind of information that will pollute you just by knowing it or becoming aware of it.”

“I don't want you to come into contact with these things too early, and the current Gensokyo is already very stable.”

“There are three sages here, there is a fully grown Hakurei Reimu, there is me, and someone from the demon world will also help, and the Lunar Capital also owes favors…”

The master said, drinking the last of the wine, and slowly stood up:

“You can just continue to maintain your daily life now.”

“After all, for you, even ordinary daily life is a process of enriching emotions and gradually strengthening your abilities.”

After a pause, as if thinking of something, she added solemnly:

“Of course, although your law ability is to get stronger by getting close to girls…”

“But don't really fall in love with girls, okay?”
