Originally, the bamboo mat and low table brought by Reimu, where everyone chatted, ate, criticized and bragged in the afternoon, was now occupied by a strange little girl.
It was a girl-like creature that could be classified as a loli in appearance, wearing a white sleeveless thin shirt on the upper body, and a dark blue-purple triple pleated skirt on the lower body. The hair is kept to the waist, and it is tied casually by a white headband at the end. This is obviously a very stable hairstyle, but because of the big red bow on the girl's head, it makes her look a little more playful, girlish. The appearance is very young, the big eyes reflect the reddish-brown light in the night, and besides the appearance, the most attractive thing about the other party is the purple gourd in her hand that is twice the size of her head, and the iron wrapped around her body. chain, and a pair of big horns on her head.
Sitting opposite this girl was the guy I had known today, the winged little girl Shemei Maruwen, and the two occupied the low table that originally belonged to Reimu (in fact, considering the way Reimu obtained this thing, this table It should belong to me), and now I am busy changing glasses. When we approached, a strong smell of wine came to my face.
"Yo, Reimu, and Zi, are you back?"
The girl with the weird big horn raised the big gourd in her hand, and greeted this side from a distance, and the sound of clear water came from the gourd.
"Watermelon (Cuixiang's...cough cough, another name, please poke Du Niang yourself)?" Lingmeng called out a little surprised, but we were collectively silent for three seconds.
"Stay away from Bubbles in the future, especially don't follow that girl to study the second design of the East," I patted Reimu's shoulder with a miserable face, "Last time someone who drove a Gundam came to Shadow City to hand in a mission, let Bubble After pausing and educating for half an afternoon, he was brainwashed, and when he went back, he announced in front of a regiment of Gundam pilots that the humanoid walking robots were scum—that grandson was almost beaten to death."
Lingmeng glanced at me, and continued to be miserable: "...I'm afraid what should I do if I talk in my sleep and call myself Hongbai?"
I:"… "
The girl called Watermelon over there was stunned for a moment, then scratched her cheek drunkenly: "Reimu, what watermelon? Do you want watermelon?"
Lingmeng burst into tears: "Cuixiang, just pretend you didn't hear."
"Oh," the long-horned girl named Cuixiang shrugged inexplicably. She seemed to care about being called a watermelon, but she soon gave up on the problem of consuming brain cells and shook her hand instead. The big gourd, greeted our group carelessly, "Come, come, let's have a drink together! You have to drink before you work to gain strength!"
"I don't need to introduce you, that's Suika Ibuki," Yakumo Zi sneaked up to me and whispered in my ear, "I've known her for a long time, don't look at her like this, she's one of the four heavenly kings of the ghost clan. She is very strong and has a straightforward personality. Originally, she didn’t appear in this incident. She seemed to think that it didn’t matter if she didn’t participate in it, and she didn’t like to listen to others’ orders. It took me some effort to persuade her to come here. Cuixiang is very friendly Haoshuang, if it were you, you should be able to be friends with her."
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work this time." I turned my head and glanced at Yakumo Zi, "Do you have a good relationship with this ghost girl? It's the first time in my memory that you took the initiative to introduce people in Gensokyo to me. .”
"I met a long time ago, and I have similar interests. You are also my friend, so I want you to get to know each other."
Similar interests... Well, I won't talk about the similar interests of voyeur Zima.
"Ha, you are the human being, the one who brought Zi and Reimu back."
A careless question suddenly sounded from the side, interrupting my conversation with Yakumo Zi. It turned out that after greeting Reimu, Ibuki Suika saw that we were lagging behind, so she couldn't help but ran over. She is obviously a girl like a lolita, but she sized me up and down as a strange outsider with bold eyes. Ibuki Suika stared at me for a long time before finally scratching her hair: "Ah—outsider, outsider, Purple seems to have gone to a terrible place, she said a lot of messy things, but unfortunately I couldn't understand a single one, but anyway, you are a good guy, and you took in Purple and Reimu who were in trouble at that time, right?"
I immediately looked at Mama Zi with emotion: Such a realistic description, this is the conscience of the inmates. Compared with that unscrupulous person who has plucked the wild goose and ran the train with his mouth full, Zi, you are simply from the new era. A role model!
"Here, here you are!" Cuixiang suddenly patted my shoulder with such strength that it made people smack their tongues, and then stuffed the big gourd in her hand, "Because he is a good guy, so go ahead and drink it! Anyway, I don't plan to drink it." Find out where you are from, and you can be friends if you can drink!"
Also use this method to judge the qualifications of friends
I was dumbfounded by this big-horned loli's bold behavior, but I knew that it would be very rude to refuse a toast from a ghost, so I didn't shirk it, and reached out to take the other's wine gourd: ordinary girls might still care The embarrassing problem caused by sharing a drinking vessel with a man, but the bold and unrestrained loli in front of me absolutely has no such thoughts.
Lifting the heavy wine gourd, I poured God knows how much alcohol inside into my mouth in one breath—and then I was stupid.
Dang it! Gods and Buddhas of the Nine Heavens, is this pure alcohol? !
Just took a sip, and immediately I felt like I was about to die. My drinking capacity was only average, and I should have thought that this kind of "Royal Wine", one of the four kings of the ghost clan, was not something I could handle at all. , One sip, I feel like I'm alcohol poisoned, I stand there with smoke all over my face, looking at you from a distance, or else I thought there was a steam humidifier here!
Although the strengthened body will not fall down due to this stimulation, the great stimulation of the taste of the spirits still makes me feel cold. Ibuki Suika also looked at this side a little dumbfounded, but after a long time, she suddenly showed surprise Satisfied expression: "Wow, you are real! Even ghosts like wine dare not drink it like this! I just let you taste it, you are really nice!"
Damn it, you should have said this important matter earlier, if you said it earlier, would I continue to force it like this
It took a long time for me to finally recover from the hell of industrial alcohol infusion. With a face full of resentment, I looked at Cuixiang who was happily pouring wine into his mouth, and the side who obviously knew everything in advance but didn’t know anything. Said Yakumo Zi, and then reached out and took out a bottle of something from the portable space: "Ibuki Suika, courtesy is reciprocal, how about you try the drinks in our world."
"You can just call me Cuixiang! You are a very real guy, unlike some humans who play tricks, so we are friends." The ghost girl patted me on the shoulder boldly, and reached out to take the bottle, "What is this? ? Wine? The taste is quite strong."
Curiously sniffing the bottle in his hand, Cui Xiang raised his neck, drained the contents, and then wiped his mouth with insatiable desire: "It tastes like wine, but it's a pity that it doesn't have the smell of wine, and it's a bit solid inside. Something. But it’s really strong, it’s appropriate to drink this before a fight, what is this?”
My face was numb: "Ninety-nine and a half percent solid ethanol."
"Is there any more?"
I feel that I have been completely defeated by this familiar guy: the loli who can drink a kilogram of pure ethanol in one breath and still keep her expression on will rule the world!
Sandora patted me on the shoulder comfortingly, with an encouraging look of "don't take it to heart", I could only shrug my shoulders. Fortunately, my sister didn't come over today, or else I would just rely on this area at this time. The atmosphere is reeking of alcohol, now Gensokyo should be full of corpses: the seven-character mantra of "raise your glass and touch your lips, sister stands up" is not a joke.
But in any case, it seems that Cuixiang has a lot of affection for her by mistake. She is a straightforward person, and she also likes straightforward people. In addition, with the introduction of an old friend Yakumo Zi, Xiao After begging from me for a second bottle of pure alcohol and a large pile of dwarven ale from Azeroth, the girl announced that she had regarded me as a friend.
"It's regrettable that you can't drink enough, but you're surprisingly frank, and you brought so much wine as a gift, which can barely make up for your drinking!" Cuixiang was a little confused, with a red light on her face, "At first Hearing what kind of emperor Zi said, I thought he was an annoying human being, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting... Eh? What's the matter?"
Cuixiang was originally busy dealing with a bottle of Ironforge special "burning throat" spirits, but suddenly something attracted her attention. The little girl pointed at the western sky in surprise, and the sharp light in her eyes swept away the sight just now. He looked slightly drunk.
Looking in the direction of her finger, what caught my eyes was a spot of light that was rapidly lighting up. This spot of light gathered at the bottom of Atlantis, as if several energy flashes around it suddenly gathered together, crackling. The blue-white lightning was stimulated from the spot, whipped on the nearby metal vines, and triggered a luminous phenomenon like a chain reaction. Like nebula lightning, the intense flash was transmitted several kilometers away, and in this nebula lightning In the center, the spot of light that first appeared has expanded into a dazzling white light ball within a second or two. There is almost no time for people to react. Accompanied by a dull and continuous explosion sound, the light ball exploded like a broken crystal. Crystal fragments fell from the blasting point one after another, falling on the foot of Monster Mountain like a beautiful rain of light, but the consequences they brought were definitely not so beautiful: the blazing forest fire burned in those places with extreme The high-energy fragments soared into the air before landing, illuminating quite a large area within a few seconds.
The crimson flames in the distance and the noise of some monsters splashed into the mountainside where all the "people" gathered at the same time. The monsters who were drinking and resting stood up one after another and looked at the burning direction of the forest fire. Then some monsters who were good at flying rose into the sky, I started calling for friends and companions to find helpers to put out the fire, but I had already reacted at this time, stretched out my hand and pointed at the direction where the fire was spreading wildly, and the energy suppression spread immediately: "Calm."
The forest fire that had spread for several kilometers disappeared in an instant, and only the faint smoke in the darkness proved what happened there just now.
Not only Cuixiang and Yuyuko who met for the first time, even Reimu and the others saw me make a move for the first time. The completely incomprehensible power directly stopped the spreading fire, which made them look over in amazement , but I can't wait to respond to these twitterers: an urgent report has entered the information link, the latest information from the agents in Atlantis.
The No. 2 main energy pipeline at the bottom of the floating island was broken, and one-third of the psionic energy pipe network in Atlantis was blocked, and the out-of-control psionic energy was overflowing the floating island.
Fortunately, the ruptured energy pipeline was on the side away from the youkai mountain, and there were no casualties among the youkai here. Unfortunately, their rest time was over.
I forwarded this information directly to Yakumo Zi and Reimu, and the two knew it was not time to joke, and immediately began to order: "Hurry up and gather! The energy of Atlantis is leaked! Tianwai Island will be upgraded in thirty minutes." null!"
In fact, there is no need for them to notify, the explosion just now has made the nervous monsters understand that the action is about to begin, and the powerful monsters who have only rested for a while have already begun to replace their companions nervously and orderly, doing as much as possible. The power transfer was carried out smoothly, and Cuixiang also muttered something, and after drinking the almost 100% ethanol in one breath, she ran to help.
Sandora ordered the mothership to perform a remote scene projection, and the originally pitch-black Atlantis land bottom was suddenly covered by a soft light film, which clearly showed red and green colors, and was busy ascending The monsters who had prepared nothing were stunned for a moment, but soon they got a strong explanation from Reimu: "Concentrate in the green zone! The energy pipes in the red zone have burst, and those who plan to cross the catastrophe should go down and wait." Get struck by lightning!"
Although no one knows what Transcending Tribulation is, none of the monsters who saw the forest fire caused by the falling of a few light particles just now would not 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 earlier than the expected time. Except that some monsters had not fully rested, everything was executed without any risk of chaos. Under the command of rushing around, the Gensokyo monsters who were never used to fighting with the coalition quickly calmed down from their panic—I think it was the magic charms that Reimu threw around and Shemeimaruwen held up the camera and planned to take pictures at any time, which embarrassing behavior effectively improved The coordination of this group of undisciplined parties.
The monsters are all aliens, they are adaptable to the vacuum and radiation of outer space, but in order to prevent accidents, we have prepared proper safety measures for these guys: when Atlantis is in the anti-gravity field When it finally started to lift off slowly under the action of the floating island, a layer of translucent bubble-like thing also enveloped the huge hemispherical space under the floating island. The prototype of this seemingly weak but very reliable barrier is not Xiling Technology. The product comes from the pan-galactic civilization community, which is called the projected support shield, which is a long-range shield generation system researched by it in order to preserve important power as much as possible during the shepherd's strangling for thousands of years. Tavel modified this simple but creative shield so that it can use psionic energy as the shield structure, thus increasing its value dozens of times.
Facts have proved that even civilizations that are several times behind the empire will have creativity worthy of our reference, do not underestimate 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 technology could rule everything, no longer caring about any civilization, and even ignoring the advice of the Protoss, which eventually led to disaster.
Fortunately, now they have regained this progressive force - that 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 into the sky. Sandora is always ready to appease the excitement that these monsters may have when they first travel to the starry sky, and I have to always deal with what happens if the monsters lose their chains. The energy shock produced by the eruption of the Abyss of Atlantis: Although if such an accident does happen, it is indeed a question whether I can take care of it in an instant.
"It's pretty stable." Sandora was suspended in the air, and the golden light spread from the end of the flying blond hair behind her, forming the u-like state again. 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 be lifted vertically without considering any cosmic speed, which brings us great convenience. After confirming that the physique of the monsters is really good, let’s go The process gradually accelerated, and in the end, the acceleration acting on the floating island and the monsters even reached tens of g. The distant horizon had already shown an obvious arc, and the green world at the position of Gensokyo below disappeared. : Yakumo Zi changed part of the nature of the Hakurei barrier in advance, allowing us to leave that isolated place five minutes after we lifted off, that is to say, Atlantis is now in the "outside world" " run in.
However, if we drive the stealth system, humans in the outside world will definitely not be able to find that a lump of soil comparable to a giant city is rumbling across their heads, even though a cloud and mist hole suddenly appeared in the atmosphere is enough to make them puzzled.
"Wow, so this is the outside world now..."
Next to us, an unfamiliar little girl looked down curiously while maintaining the energy output to the outside world. The brightly lit city below and the gradually brightening horizon in the distance made this girl who might not have been out of Gensokyo at the beginning of its establishment. The monster felt very curious, "It's been a long time since I saw you, didn't you expect the outside world to become like this?"
"There will be a time when you will be surprised."
I said with a smile, and the other party was startled immediately: "Wow! You talked to me!"
I:"?"
"Wenwen said you are a very dangerous human being! Reimu is pregnant with a child because of talking to you!"
I think it was a lifelong regret that I didn't use a Patriot to knock down the Sheming Maruwen. RO
