Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

Chapter 19: A Confession from Marisa?

The Black Order is a group of villains and scoundrels despised by the entire magic community.

However, to survive the encirclement by various forces, the Black Order naturally has its reliance.

It relies on the members' insane, life-sacrificing fighting style and forbidden spells that corrode the human heart, spells that have been eliminated throughout history.

One of these spells has the effect of forcibly corrupting the target through a strict ritual of bewitchment.

"So, they set their sights on me."

"I was a highly regarded rising star genius in the magic community, but I was very young and had weak mental defenses."

"If they could corrupt me and make me a member of the Black Order, it would be a huge blow to the magic community's reputation."

Chu Bai sipped his Sparrow Wine, leisurely telling his story.

Perhaps because he had held it in for too long, he didn't feel any rejection when confiding in others about his past.

"The Black Order tried every possible means to find out my movements."

"And when I was 12 years old, they sent out elite members to forcibly abduct me."

"After that, I was surrounded by complex, trivial, and indescribable whispers. My memories of that period are still a bit chaotic."

"And when I regained consciousness..."

"I was strangling my master's neck, and she had already stopped breathing."

Chu Bai took another gulp of wine.

He didn't pay attention to Marisa's shocked expression, but instead spoke to Shiki Eiki, who was sitting next to him:

"Miss Shiki, you said just now that I am guilty and should suffer severe punishment."

"Regarding this, I have no intention of avoiding it."

"Regardless of my state, whether I was controlled or not... the fact remains that I killed my master, killed my only family member, and that will not change."

"So even if I am judged after death and fall into hell, I will accept it calmly."

Shiki Eiki stared into Chu Bai's eyes.

She could tell that Chu Bai was not lying.

So, at that time, he committed such a crime while unconscious?

"What happened later?"

Shiki Eiki asked subconsciously.

At this moment, she didn't seem like a Yama judging sins, but rather like an ordinary girl interested in a story.

"Later, I learned the whole story from acquaintances."

"After discovering my disappearance, my master searched all over the world like crazy."

"She also signed agreements with many forces, asking those magicians for assistance at a very high price."

"In half a year, she traveled almost every corner of the earth, and finally found me in a hidden stronghold in the Americas."

"However, what awaited her there was not an embrace, not a cry, not the joy of reunion after a long separation."

"But... my sudden, deadly attack."

Chu Bai didn't describe too many details.

This memory is still quite chaotic for him, even now.

In short, after he completely regained consciousness and learned the whole story.

He fell into an almost manic state, just like his master once did.

As long as he encountered a member of the Black Order, he would immediately launch a crazy and bloody battle.

And the result of the battle would definitely end with the Black Order members being dismembered and executed.

"But soon, another thing caught my attention."

"It was a sudden rumor."

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, someone developed a revival elixir. The massive vitality of the potion was even said to have attracted the attention of lunar envoys."

"So, in the following years, I traveled around the world. While clearing out the Black Order's strongholds, I searched for legends about the revival elixir..."

After that, Chu Bai began a nomadic journey.

Under the continuous practical experience, his magical abilities advanced by leaps and bounds. Ordinary magicians couldn't even withstand two moves in front of him.

And the Black Order's strongholds were also uprooted by him in a vengeful manner.

All the members of the Black Order died tragically.

Occasionally, members who escaped death were also frightened and dared not abuse magic again.

At the same time, Chu Bai's investigation into the revival elixir finally made progress.

It is said that the revival elixir exists in the tomb of an ancient magician.

Although no one knows the location of the tomb, nor can they verify the reliability of the information, and even the source of the information is unknown.

But Chu Bai had fallen into an almost crazy obsession. As long as it was a magician's tomb, he would directly break it open for inspection, a carpet-like search.

Although he did not take away any burial objects, and tried to restore the tomb to its original state after leaving.

But stealing tombs is ultimately a shameful act.

In addition to Chu Bai's experience of murdering his master, his reputation gradually deteriorated under the spread of rumors.

But he didn't care about these at all.

He just wanted to find the rumored revival elixir to repay his original sins.

That year, he was 16 years old.

In the most popular "Magician's Gazette" in the magic community, he simultaneously won the titles of "Black Order Killer" and "Master-Killing Tomb Raider".

……

……

"If you want to know what happens next, listen to the next chapter!"

With a snap.

Chu Bai put down the empty wine glass.

Marisa choked directly:

"You actually cut it off here? What happened after that?"

Chu Bai said casually:

"After that, it's basically boring plot with cool battles."

"By the way, the revival medicine does exist, and I successfully obtained it."

"But its principle is not revival, but healing the dying through massive vitality. So, for my master's situation, the revival medicine has no effect on her."

"Then it's still cool battles, cool battles, the tragic drama between me and my apprentice, and more cool battles."

"Until two years ago, I took an arrow to the knee. So I directly retired, left the magic community, and became an ordinary language teacher."

"Eh..."

Marisa made a dissatisfied sound:

"This is too anticlimactic!"

Chu Bai spread his hands helplessly:

"No way, after all, if I keep going, I will be complained about by the readers."

"And anyway, I'm hiding in Gensokyo, and my apprentice can't come to me."

"So, just talk about the things outside, it has nothing to do with me in the future."

"...I feel like you've set up a rather subtle flag."

Marisa complained, but her eyes were rolling back and forth, obviously thinking about some idea.

And Shiki Eiki put down her teacup and left the high chair.

Of course, she soon realized that, with her height, she had to look up at Chu Bai when standing on the ground.

So, after a moment of silence, she sat back down.

"Thank you for your story, it's a wonderful experience."

Shiki Eiki said with a straight face, in a serious manner:

"Just looking at this experience outside, you are indeed stained with sin. But judging comprehensively, your sins are not enough to fall into hell, let alone the most sinful person in Gensokyo."

"My words just now were a bit heavy, I apologize to you."

Chu Bai waved his hand:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a good thing to have a chance to confide."

"No, as a judge, I must be clear about rewards and punishments, and this also applies to me."

Shiki Eiki was quite persistent, it seems that her personality is also very upright:

"Since I said excessive words and made rash judgments, there must be some punishment."

"How about this, this time I owe you a favor."

"If you need help in the future, I can take action for you once in a personal capacity, without delaying my work."

"Eh? Is that really okay?"

Chu Bai was a little stunned:

"Can the Yama of the underworld run to the human world to do things for humans?"

"...So I said it was in a personal capacity, not as Yamaxanadu."

Shiki Eiki tilted her head slightly, and her beautiful face seemed to have a bit of embarrassment.

So cute.

I really want to rub it.

Chu Bai moved his fingers, but finally resisted.

After all, this is a heavyweight, if you really tease her, I'm afraid it will be a direct fast track to hell.

……

……

After that, Shiki Eiki left the Yakumo Family stall.

Watching her leave, Chu Bai looked at the sky, the night was still extremely deep.

And Marisa was sitting next to him, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"So what are you still doing here?"

Chu Bai looked at Marisa next to him:

"The bill is settled, and I also got you out of Shiki's hands, aren't you going home to sleep?"

"Hehe, of course I have something to ask you."

Marisa touched her cheeks, looking a little embarrassed and nervous.

She looked at Chu Bai, her eyes sparkling:

"Chu Bai, what do you think of me?"

"Ah?"

Chu Bai looked her up and down, and then decisively reached out:

"I'm sorry, you're a good person, but I only treat you as a friend, we're not suitable..."
