549 The Mutation of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the Blocked Hakurei Shrine
The time went back to ten minutes ago, when Lin Luo was looking for Alice, You Xiang had just left the Sun Flower Field with Meddy, Shemei Marufumi and her friend Ji Haitangji had already started to spread the news throughout Gensokyo, and the five members of the Hakurei Shrine sat at the entrance of the shrine, drinking tea and chatting, while watching the changes.
But at this time, the Scarlet Devil's Mansion encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and it was less than five minutes before they got Wenwen News!
"Sakuya, go and hide." In the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia sat on her grand teacher's chair with a serious expression. She didn't look at the maid next to her, nor at her sister and friends.
"Miss!" Sakuya was stunned immediately.
"Is it like this." Remilia raised her hand, holding a piece of news between her fingers, and still did not look at Sakuya, "The enemy is going to deal with you, so it is the wisest choice for you to disappear here. Patch's enchantment can last for another ten seconds, which is enough time for you to leave... Well, this is an order."
Remilia has the ability of fate. Although she has no way to directly control this ability, she can only change it intentionally or unintentionally. However, because of the ability of fate, she can occasionally see the future for a short time.
Just five minutes ago when she got the Wenwen news, she saw a bit of the future, and this future would be devastating to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. So, she acted decisively, let all the non-combatants of the Scarlet Devil Mansion hide in the deepest part of the ground, recalled Hong Meiling who was guarding the door, and asked Paqiuli to set up the highest defensive barrier inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion... She concentrated all the combat power of the Scarlet Devil Mansion here, and gave up nearly nine tenths of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Originally, she didn't have to do this, she could ask for help from other places, such as the Hakurei Shrine. The distance between the two sides is so close, a few minutes back and forth is enough. Even, as long as you use Sakuya's ability, it will hardly take a little time, but... the red demon is not so cowardly, the proud night king can't ask for help from humans, and his own territory must be guarded by his own strength!
"If you want to leave, hurry up, the enchantment can only last for eight seconds." Paqiuli reminded.
"..." Sakuya didn't expect both of them to say that, and she was speechless for a moment. Indeed, judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed better for her to leave here, whether it was for herself or the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but would that be all right? Abandoning his master and fleeing in embarrassment?
Obviously not, the devil's servant is not so greedy for life and fear of death!
Thinking of this, Sakuya smiled, with less anxiety on his face and a little more chic, bowed slightly, "Sorry, miss, I can't accept this order."
"Hmph." Remilia snorted softly, as if she knew about this result a long time ago, and she was not surprised, but said, "If you die, I won't miss you."
Sakuya smiled slightly, "I will make black tea for you."
Others may not be able to understand what the two said, but Paqiuli and the others can more or less understand the meaning of the words: Even if there is only a little affection, one person will miss the other after death, and the only person who will not miss is the same dead person... I just don’t know if there is still black tea in hell after death?
boom! ! !
With a loud noise, the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion was shaken, and the defensive barrier was broken. Outside this room as wide as a plain, all five people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion could see the vast and inexhaustible enemies... there were monsters, humans, skeletons, and strange beasts, thousands of them!
"Kill! The majestic army of the evil world!" Someone said that, and the mixed army composed of countless races rushed up to kill immediately, and the sky-shattering shouts of killing shook the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion.
"This number is more than the monsters in Gensokyo. How did they come out? Haha." Remilia stood up from her seat, licked her lips, her eyes were red and bloodthirsty, "Today should be a cruel and beautiful day."
While speaking, the sharp gun Gangneel had appeared in her hand, and he took the lead to kill, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In an instant, red light bloomed, and his hands flew, and blood gushed like a spring, soaking her, and he was called the red devil.
"My name is Hong Meiling!"
Rainbow-colored light beams galloped past, and countless skeleton soldiers were blasted to pieces in the blink of an eye. A red-haired girl in a cheongsam stood with her fists clenched, and a sky-high airflow rose from her body.
"Your time... I accept it!"
Sakuya's eyes were awe-inspiring, without retaining any strength, the moon time meter started, and countless gray clocks appeared in the midair of this room, and every enemy stopped by the clock was pierced by a flying knife in an instant.
"These are just miscellaneous fish, don't expose too much ability, attack their weaknesses!" Paqiuli held the magic book in her hand, and as she chanted, there was almost no gap between the elf magic element magic, the roar of the wind, the frenzy of fire, the purification of water, the brilliance of the sun... After her asthma was cured, her strength could be brought into full play.
In the arena, Flandre was the only one who didn't make a move. She just stood there motionless, watching quietly. Even if an enemy attacked her, there would be others to help. It wasn't because she was powerless to fight... Because the enemy is just a fish, so the trump card should be left at the end!
However, just looking at it like this, Fran's innocent eyes have gradually become cruel and bloodthirsty. The countless "eyes" dangled in front of her eyes, arousing the strongest desire to destroy in her heart.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you play badly like this... So, hurry up." Fran raised her hand, looked at the dense "eyes" on her hand, and showed a bloodthirsty and violent smile at the corner of her mouth.
Hakurei Shrine.
"Something happened at the Scarlet Devil Mansion." Reimu stood in front of the shrine, looking at the Scarlet Devil Mansion in the distance. Although nothing happened on the surface, her intuition told her that the interior of the Scarlet Devil Mansion had changed.
"Zi, when can we go out?" Reimu turned around, looking at Yakumo Zi with a trace of solemnity on his seemingly leisurely face, and said in a deep voice.
"Impossible for the time being." Yakumo Zi shook her head, "This shrine has been blocked by the enemy, and no one can get out from here now."
"Can't you even do it with your strength?" Marisa asked in surprise.
"It's not that I can't do it, but I can't do it." Yakumo Zi shook her head again, facing everyone's puzzled eyes, and explained, "Now the five-dimensional barrier is blocking the Hakurei Shrine. Although I can freely pass through the second and third dimensions, the power of the fifth dimension is still a bit troublesome. Of course, if I forcefully destroy it with the power of the realm, I can still do it, but..."
Speaking of this, Yakumo Zi looked solemn, "Forcibly destroying the fifth-dimensional barrier will cause unimaginable dimensional cracks, and even my gap will be affected. At that time, not only the great barrier will be destroyed, but even Gensokyo will face disaster!"
"How could this be? Could it be that the enemy is deliberately sealing us here so that we cannot save other places?" Sanae frowned.
"That shouldn't be the case." Yagumo Zi shook her head and said, "Hakurei Shrine is the most important place in Gensokyo, and it can be said to be the central holy place of Gensokyo. If the enemy plans to invade Gensokyo with all their strength, it is only natural that they would occupy this place."
"That is to say, the enemy only wants to deal with the Hakurei Shrine, so they set up a five-dimensional barrier on this shrine, and we who happened to stay at the shrine were rewarded by the enemy, right?" Cuixiang asked.
Yakumo Zi nodded.
"It turned out to be like this. Speaking of which, don't we gather here and walk into death on our own initiative!" Sanae frowned even deeper, "But when was this enchantment set up? I didn't feel anything when I first came here."
"That's right, with such a powerful barrier, how strong is the enemy's strength, shouldn't it be stronger than you?" Marisa also looked at Ruyunzi and asked.
Yakumo Zi said: "The enchantment was set up at the moment when the enemy officially invaded, about two minutes ago, because it came too suddenly, and I didn't have time to fight, but the enemy's strength should not be stronger than mine, because this enchantment is set with props, and its effective time is only one day and one night."
"Is there any purpose in blocking the center of this world for a day and a night while carrying out an all-out attack?" Reimu didn't understand.
"It's very simple, let's take the momentum." Yakumo Zi replied.
"Shi?" Not only Reimu was confused, but the other three also showed puzzled expressions.
Yakumo Zi nodded, "The timing, location, and harmony are the three major trends. Originally, these three trends were all on our side, but once the enemy blocked the Hakurei Shrine, the timing and location would be equalized by them, and we would no longer have any advantage. We would become very passive if we lost the initiative. Now, not only the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but I think all the ground forces in Gensokyo are under attack."
Hearing these words, even Reimu felt bad, and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter, we still have people to reconcile." Yakumo Zi chuckled, and then said to everyone, "I will find a way to break this fifth-dimensional space in the shortest possible time, and then send the three of you out, Cuixiang, I will need your power at that time."
"No problem, in fact, I have already started to gather everyone." Cuixiang smiled and patted her chest.
"Then, prepare well and give me ten minutes." Yakumo Zi said in a deep voice, her tone full of confidence, "I will definitely send you out of this fifth-dimensional space, Reimu, I will leave this mutation to you!"
"I'll take care of it, it's my responsibility." Reimu nodded, then closed her eyes.
