Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"……?"

There was no chance for communication.

With a gentle flick of Alice's slender fingers, countless dolls exuding a dark aura swarmed towards Chu Bai...

Chapter 191: A bizarre Gensokyo, hold out for the final ten minutes!

Spinning.

Leaping.

His eyes were wide open.

Facing the onslaught of the doll army, Chu Bai dodged back and forth while constantly counterattacking.

However, the force of his counterattacks wasn't particularly strong, at least not at the level of super-tier magic.

It wasn't that he was going easy on the guy with Alice's face; it was mainly that causing too much commotion in this strange place might not be a wise move.

And based on the members he'd encountered so far...

One was Marisa, who was extremely thirsty for magic and acted pathologically.

One was Alice, who was jealous and hateful of men, killing them on sight.

And there was Sakuya, who appeared to be enthusiastically helping but was probably secretly plotting against him.

The three familiar faces he'd encountered had all undergone significant changes in personality.

If he attracted more powerful individuals with bizarre personalities, who knew what might happen.

"Let's make this quick. Ice Incantation—Diamond Snow Dance!"

A simple ice-based spell, even when he hadn't recovered his full strength, was easily blocked.

Alice easily flicked out a fireball, casually shattering the spell.

The alternating cold and heat caused a burst of mist that instantly obscured their vision.

In that instant, Chu Bai's figure suddenly appeared behind Alice's head.

"Blessing—Sixty-Fourfold Physical Enhancement!"

"Secret Technique—Magic Condensation Fist · Extreme!"

Boom————!!

This was the real killing move!

A merciless punch landed heavily on the back of Alice's head, aiming for a one-hit kill!

Without causing a big commotion, close-quarters combat was the quickest method.

With the unleashing of this punch, the caught-off-guard Alice was sent flying like a rag doll, crashing through several trees before embedding herself deeply in the dirt.

But Chu Bai's expression turned astonished.

Because in his perception, Alice herself hadn't suffered any damage, and even her appearance remained exquisitely beautiful and radiant!

"Holy crap!"

Chu Bai couldn't help but retort:

"Even if you're adjusting parameters, this is way too much!"

"...Men...deserve to die..."

An increasingly hateful tone came from Alice.

The dolls that had been smashed earlier were now swaying and floating again.

These dilapidated dolls had a strange light flickering in their eyes. Their tattered bodies and gloomy, morbid expressions made them look even more eerie.

"Avoid their sharp edge, endure for now!"

"You gotta run!"

Chu Bai made an immediate decision.

He took off running!

The place was strange, the people were strange, and even the way they fought was strange.

If it weren't for the presence of a normal Reimu, he would have suspected that he had transmigrated into some kind of bizarre novel and become a doomed side character who wouldn't survive three chapters.

And Alice seemed like a hunter who had locked onto her prey.

Her slender body took flight, and she kept up with Chu Bai's speed, continuously following behind him.

The two figures flew one after the other, heading towards the exit of the Forest of Magic.

...

...

During the flight, Reimu also sent a message.

Her direction of movement was east of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

According to their trajectories, the most suitable place to meet was the Human Village.

"Gather in the village square."

Chu Bai said to the yin-yang orb:

"I have a way to leave this place, listen to my instructions then."

"Okay."

Reimu replied briefly, accompanied by bursts of explosions.

Obviously, she wasn't having an easy time either, and seemed to have gotten into a fight with something.

Retracting the yin-yang orb, Chu Bai, while being wary of Alice's attacks from behind, surveyed the environment below.

Judging from the terrain distribution, this was indeed the environment of Gensokyo.

But the overall atmosphere here was completely different from Gensokyo.

It was gloomy, oppressive, dark, and despairing.

As he flew through the air, Chu Bai also saw many familiar faces.

But what these old acquaintances were doing was extremely twisted.

—For example, Mystia Lorelei of the Night Sparrow Diner.

She was frantically strumming her guitar, singing songs that caused blindness and madness into the microphone.

Humans and youkai who had lost the power to resist were continuously transported to the slaughter area, waiting for further processing.

—For example, Keine Kamishirasawa, the teacher of the private school.

She wandered back and forth on the road, randomly grabbing passersby to ask them knowledge questions.

Anyone who couldn't answer the questions would have their heads chopped off on the spot by her, physically enlightened.

—And there was Rumia, the youkai of the darkness.

Someone once told her that eyes could reflect a person's heart.

So she dug out the eyes of everyone she met, spreading true darkness in this way.

"What are these people..."

Looking at these familiar faces doing all sorts of twisted things.

Even Chu Bai felt a little uncomfortable, feeling a kind of heartfelt disgust.

Fortunately, with the change of scenery, he had arrived above the Human Village, and he could see the red-white miko flying in front.

As long as he joined up with Reimu, he could leave here immediately.

So Chu Bai accelerated again, flying towards the figure in front.

...

...

"Reimu, lend a hand!"

"Chu Bai! Come and help!"

The two finally reunited.

But at the first sight of each other, they cried out for help in unison.

Chu Bai was slightly stunned and looked behind Reimu.

It turned out that she was also being chased, and the pursuers were also familiar faces.

"It's the Remilia and Sakuya combo..."

Reimu also discovered the pursuers behind Chu Bai:

"It's Alice, is she in this weird state too?"

Chu Bai sighed helplessly:

"Yes, perhaps everyone in this bizarre Gensokyo is in this twisted state."

"I don't know where this purple crystal ball came from, bringing us here..."

Reimu gritted her teeth:

"Gensokyo can be down-to-earth, but it can't be so down-to-hell!"

"I'm afraid even Eiki Shiki would have to say it feels like coming home!"

Chu Bai interrupted:

"Stop complaining, listen to me first."

"Before being teleported here, I preemptively broke your floor and quickly inscribed magical runes there."

"I can use that rune to locate and cast a similar teleportation spell to bring us back together."

Reimu said quickly:

"Then what are we waiting for, activate it quickly?"

Chu Bai frowned slightly:

"But teleportation magic consumes a lot of energy, and it's usually completed with the cooperation of multiple magicians."

"Even at my level, with the help of props, it will take a long time to complete the spell."

"And our pursuers seem to have surrounded this place..."

In the air, the emotionless Alice had arrived.

Marisa, who had been lured away earlier, also approached with a grinning smile.

On the other side, Sakuya, carrying a huge blood-drawing syringe, looked at Reimu and Chu Bai's bodies greedily.

Remilia walked in the air, dignified like a true noble.

"...You focus on casting the spell, I'll buy time."

Looking at the four strange girls.

Reimu gritted her teeth and directly communicated with the spirit power of the Great Barrier.

Fortunately, no matter how strange this place is, it's still within the scope of Gensokyo after all.

After transforming on the spot, Reimu evolved into Barrier Reimu again, and the soaring spirit pressure protected Chu Bai:

"How long will it take to complete the spell?"

Chu Bai raised his thumb:

"Half a chapter is enough!"

"...I don't understand what you're saying."
