Lost Narrative Poetry

Eternal Pavilion, a peaceful place guarded by a bamboo forest, feels like it will not change no matter what happens, as if history has stopped moving forward.

Walking in the long corridor, you will find that this corridor extends straight forward, boundless in front and back, with doors, windows and screens on both sides.

In the quiet atmosphere, there were sounds of silent footsteps. Xia Ran followed the Lingxian in front. He tried to use his mental power to form a straight line and explore forward. However, there was no result and he could not find his head at all. .

Unless the eternal character of this eternal pavilion is destroyed, this corridor will never end in the true sense.

Xia Ran couldn't help but secretly marvel. In the paradise of Gensokyo, many people may not have very high overall strength and overall evaluation, but the series of unique abilities they possess are really buggy... Such is the power of eternity now.

The rabbit-eared girl took the magician to an empty room and left in a hurry. However, it seemed that she was not nervous or afraid, but that she had other things to do, and the time seemed to be arranged well. very tight.

Xia Ran didn't pay too much attention to it, he just felt that the Eternal Pavilion was very quiet, which was very suitable for him to avoid trouble and deal with the aftermath... Ah, no, it was very suitable for him to rest.

——Escape may not solve the problem, but it is really useful.

Thinking of what happened this time, Xia Ran felt a headache. It seemed that no matter whether he knew someone, someone he didn't know, someone he was familiar with, someone he was unfamiliar with, he seemed to have provoked them all at once... …

Fortunately, the combination was canceled in advance and the big bosses were not ridiculed in turn. I was able to pull back from the cliff at the last moment... Although I felt that I was still being targeted by many people in the end, it was not the worst situation.

From this point of view, I have to thank Kato-san a lot, but the kind of message I read at that time...

Xia Ran sat cross-legged on the tatami, meditating in the dark room, his expression looked a little strange.

After a moment, he suddenly shook his head vigorously: "No, no, what on earth am I thinking about? Kato-san must have that kind of character. He is too talkative and doesn't know how to reject others..."

Under such circumstances, she was probably the only one who didn't know how to refuse, and would do such a thing despite Kanako's request. She definitely didn't have that kind of idea... No need to think too much at all!

Well, that’s right, that’s it…

As if talking to himself to convince himself, Xia Ran nodded immediately, breathed a sigh of relief, folded his hands in front of him, and showed a look of "Oh, that's how it is, I'm completely done now" Got it (I don’t understand it at all)”.

He felt that this must be the reason, and he didn't need to think too much about anything else. He was just asking for trouble.

The next moment, the magician raised his eyebrows and looked behind him as if he noticed something——

"Shouldn't you still be playing hide-and-seek with them? Why are you here now?"

"Hmm? Your tone...is it disgusting?" The monster girl who just emerged from the dark gap raised her eyebrows, "If I hadn't helped you lure away those women, I'm afraid you would be dead now. I’ve been there several times…”

"How is it possible..." Xia Ran denied, "I'm just a little worried that you will be caught by them. Yonglin... Dr. Bayi is in the Eternal Pavilion now. If you come here directly, don't you worry about being discovered? ?”

"Tsk, as long as I don't take the initiative to show up now, they won't even notice..."

Yakumo Purple snorted angrily and unfolded the folding fan in her hand.

"That means the Moon Princess's abilities are very troublesome, but now it's impossible to stop me anymore."

When talking about this matter, there was no unnatural expression on the delicate face of the monster sage, but instead he was full of eagerness to try.

Xia Ran knew very well that she had some obsession with Mianyue Fengji, and it was the kind of resentment that she felt when she was overtaken by others in the field she was best at...

Because the gap is already a top-notch space movement ability, but it suffered a loss at the hands of that princess. When Yakumo Purple herself didn't notice it, the destination of the gap she opened was Replaced by Toyohime Wattsuki——

It means that the monster sage didn't notice anything, opened the gap by himself, and then ran into the enemy's base camp...

Regarding this matter, although Yakumo Zi has always acted as if she didn't care, Xia Ran is very clear about it.

After all, as I said before, at the moment when the fusion is completed, the two wills converge and reach a balance, including memory, emotion, cognition... and so on. Even after the combination is released, this mutual influence has become a fact. It is impossible to say that it is nothing that happened...

Xia Ran naturally knew this very well. Not only did she know about this matter, she was even very aware of Yakumo Murasaki's persistence in this matter.

However, this influence is two-way. Yakumo Murasaki also knows everything about his experiences and memories. It can be said that the two of them know each other thoroughly. Fortunately, White Space never cared about its existence being revealed, so Xia Ran's points were not deducted or punished.

And Yakumo Purple is indeed different from the past. After all, Xia Ran has been strengthened once, so she will naturally not gain nothing. Basically, it is also the upgrade and integration of her own abilities, taking her to a small level.

It's just that Xia Ran's progress is much greater than hers——

First of all, it’s because Yakumo Murasaki is already a leader among the great monsters. It’s always more difficult to make further progress, and even a magician in this realm cannot unconditionally elevate her level. .

Secondly, it is because Yakumo Purple's own power system has long been formed, with the power of the realm as the core, using gaps as auxiliary means, and matching with various sorcery... She already has outstanding talents, and the same It is the path that can lead to the highest point, and this is the most suitable system for her.

Therefore, the magic user of the realm has only been optimized and adjusted in a targeted manner, and has not done anything more.

Yakumo Purple doesn't need to think about mastering the power of magic - unlike Xia Ran, who can't master the power of the realm and can't learn the gap due to racial restrictions, she can master magic.

Because the power of realms and gaps is currently only the talent of realm monsters, but magic has never been limited to humans who can learn it.

But in the end she gave up, just like the realm magician did when integrating Xia Ran's power. Some abilities were specially strengthened and specially matched, while some abilities were decisively abandoned.

The more abilities, the better. At her current level, she is no longer at the stage where she has to compete for advanced skills or different types of powers. It is not possible to say that an unlimited number of skills will allow her to continue to improve. That is impossible. things.

It would be better to say that if Yakumo Murasaki wasted her time and energy on adding new skills, it would only slow down her own progress, so she finally gave up on the magic path shared by Xia Ran... It's just that Knowing the knowledge of magic, but not trying to master it.

But even so, the improvement of her own abilities is still relatively obvious. At least now, sneaking into Eternal Pavilion quietly will not trigger the barrier, and the Princess of the Moon can no longer cut into her gap.

That's right! She is no longer the Yakumo Purple she used to be!

"Are you going to carry them all the way with them next?" Xia Ran looked at the eager monster girl with some suspicion, "They are moon people, shouldn't they be sent away as soon as possible to avoid conflicts?"

"They want to carry it with me..." Yakumo Zi seriously corrected his wrong statement, and then waved her fan nonchalantly, "There's nothing surprising about the moon people, they are even worse than us now. , the people on Earth have planted their flags in the moon above the surface, and they haven’t seen any action.”

"..."

"..."

"That's right..." Xia Ran thought for a while and nodded noncommittally, remembering the descendant of the ancient god he saw on the moon before, "Then what do you want to say when you come here now?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask you, what are you going to do next?" The monster girl glanced at him, put down the folding fan in her hand, and asked in a very casual tone, "Are you going to stay in Gensokyo?"

"This..." Xia Ran was slightly startled, hesitating when faced with this question.

"What are you worried about? I don't see anything worth worrying about..." Yakumo Purple frowned, a little dissatisfied with his hesitation, "If you were worried about Gensokyo before, then there is nothing to worry about now. Are you scared?"

"Ahem, this sentence is a flag, you can't say it randomly..."

"Hmm? But aren't you the one who always says this?" Yakumo Shihun said nonchalantly. This person didn't reflect at all.

"It's different. I'm not a blond girl, but Zi, you are..." Xia Ran shook her head, feeling that such words were really unlucky.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

"Okay, don't persecute that senior sister." Yakumo Purple brought the topic back lightly, "So what are your plans? What are you going to do?"

"Well, I don't plan to stay in Gensokyo for the time being..." Xia Ran blinked and said slowly and calmly.

"You guy..." The monster girl narrowed her eyes slightly. Is this guy actually planning to reject her? How many times has this been invited? "Even those two gods have already planned to move in..."

"They are them. I am no longer carefree in the outside world. And Zi, you should know that I am different from others. My problems will not be forgotten..." Xia Ran smiled calmly. laughed.

"..."

"..."

"With your current abilities, there shouldn't be any problem even if you leave that space." Yakumo Purple raised her fan to cover the lower part of her face, looking at him with a pair of talking eyes.
