Chapter 2024 Lake of Fog

***

After waiting and waiting, my eyes turned blood red. Finally, the red and white witch showed mercy and came to tell me that I could pack up the next day and prepare to cross the barrier and return to the Dark Continent.

I was so excited that I almost hugged the red and white princess and kissed her. Fortunately, I still remember that in her true body state, she could fly me away with one finger and crush me to death with just one finger. Only then did he resist the act of seeking death.

"I think I heard you say before that the passage from Gensokyo to the hell world is random. Even you can't be sure, right?" Holding back my excitement, I couldn't help but curiously inquire about this magical passage.

It can lead to both the Dark Continent and the Hell World. Could it be that Gensokyo is the legendary axis of the world?

Sorry...well, Axis of the World or whatever, it was a name I chose without permission. I always thought it sounded powerful and I couldn't help but call it that.

"That's right." The red and white princess nodded while holding a teacup and drinking tea.

"Could it be that we were very lucky to meet each other in the hell world at that time?" I widened my eyes in disbelief.

"That's right. So, at this point, I still have to thank that idiot. Without that idiot running around without authorization, I don't know when I would be able to come back."

It turns out that I was actually saved by Cirno. I was afraid that the chance of encountering someone was less than one in a billion, but I actually met him. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I would have continued wandering in the hell world.

Could it be that... I have spent all ten years of my luck on this? It’s scary to think about it.

"Is it also a random place when returning to the Dark Continent?"

"Um."

"What if I fall into the lair of the Three Demon Gods?" I expressed my uneasiness.

"Don't worry, generally speaking, it is connected to the first world. And before departure, you can also know the safety of the place through prophecy." The red and white princess gave me a shining thumbs up and added.

"As long as you worship obediently."

"Prophecy?" I was shocked, as if I heard something incredible, and seemed to deliberately ignore a certain sentence.

"Oh, that's so rude." The red and white princess stared at me, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Etc., etc. Let me take a good look back.

I remember that when Akara introduced the witch clan to me, she indeed said that witches are proficient in the art of prophecy, and may even be better than her and Grandma Yalandlan, who is known as the number one prophet in the Dark Continent.

However, I have never seen the Red and White Princess doing her old job. So these words have long been forgotten in the back of my mind.

"Sorry." I bowed my head and apologized honestly.

"I thought that the job of the miko clan was to sell their integrity. It seems that I have always misunderstood you."

"Apologise, apologize to all the miko-samas of the past!" The red and white princess, who was still nodding with satisfaction, rushed forward with teeth and claws bared without swallowing a sip of tea.

"I can apologize to all the mikos of the past, but I can't apologize to you. Think about what you have done in front of me." I resisted the red and white princess's cat claws. While saying.

"Me too... Me too..." The red and white princess began to recall seriously, coughed a few times at the end, and turned to look at the sky outside the window.

"Today, the weather is nice."

See, you have no recollection of doing anything serious in front of me, right?

Wait, then again, since the Red and White Princess is good at prophecy. Then, would the encounter with Cirno and his rescue in the hell world be the same...

Shaking my head, I quickly dismissed this possibility. The Red and White Princess didn't know that I was abducted to the hell world, even if she knew. It is also difficult to predict.

Akara said that my destiny is quite strange. Neither she nor Yalandlan can see what my future will be like. Even if the Red and White Princess had stronger abilities, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do it, let alone predict where I am in the hell world, and then drag my idiot daughter into a drama of encountering and being rescued by chance, etc. The difficulty is like playing through the game naked.

She looked at the red and white princess carefully, trying to see something from her body and her eyes. In the end, she was probably too focused and she found out. She silently took out the cardboard box and hung a wooden sign with 100,000 yuan. He knelt down and sat inside, looked up at me with eyes like an abandoned kitten, and then stretched out his hand.

"Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand."

"Meow, you dead head!" I couldn't help but take out the paper roll, a special artifact for Aleus, and slapped the red and white princess on the head with a crisp sound.

"You were clearly looking at me with such hungry eyes, but you thought you could succeed this time." Covering her red forehead, the Red and White Princess put away the carton and wooden sign with tears in her eyes, announcing that this time the transaction had failed again. .

"Don't regret it, the price will be increased next time." She turned back and looked at me with evil eyes.

"I will never regret it in my life!" I looked at the Red and White Princess with a helpless headache. She could always use various means to steal my moral integrity from an inadvertent angle. Compared to her peeking into my wallet, I'm even more afraid that my moral integrity will be used up first.

"Okay, that's all for today's business." The Red and White Princess pretended to be closing down the stall.

"Don't make it sound like we just made some weird deal." I complained at the right time to show my innocence.

"Guest, you are really, haven't you exchanged morals?" The red and white princess said to me with a smile in the tone and gestures of Obasan next door.

"There's no weird exchange like that."

"My body is already full of integrity. This feeling of blood being thicker than water is so good." The red and white princess was like a young girl in love with her, her face blushing and she put her little hands to her chest.

"No, absolutely not!"

"I will give birth to a baby soon."

"Is it a bunch of balls? Do you want to break it with a sword? Are the Twin Seas going to be turned upside down? Are the dragons going to be cramped and skinned?!" I gasped for air and was defeated by her again.

"Wu, that's really interesting." The red and white princess looked at me.

"Whose fault is it all, you bastard, Ni Zuokai!" I angrily raised the coffee table in my mind and issued an eviction order.

I spent a sleepless night, and the next morning it was still dark. I got up from the bed in high spirits, stepped out of the room with a pair of red eyes full of excitement and sleeplessness, and planned to go to the stone flat to do some exercise or something to relieve my overly excited emotions.

In the name of Emperor Cao, hum.

A sharp light flashed from the corner of my eye, and I had just made the starting move. Then he saw the figure of the red and white princess appearing in the dim morning light that filled the night.

"Good morning." I waved my hand happily. Even if Andariel suddenly appeared from around the corner, I would happily greet her. It didn't matter who it was, I just wanted to vent my feelings.

Andalil had better forget it. real……

"It's really strange." The red and white princess held the broom in her hand and looked at me standing in the middle of the stone flat, preparing to do something, with a surprised look in her eyes.

"Do you mean you usually get up at this time?" I was surprised. This was a little too early, even earlier than Vilas. The moral witch I knew couldn't be that hard-working!

"Because the miko clan doesn't need to sleep." The Red and White Princess smiled proudly.

"Liar." I said it out loud. Do you think I have never seen you sleeping?

Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that when I was at Rogge Camp, I saw this girl sleeping in a cardboard box, and I had no choice but to take her home.

"Wu, what are you planning to do here?" The red and white princess smiled ambiguously, but instead of answering the question, she asked instead.

"I...uh, me. This." I put on a few Tai Chi postures.

"Autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves, understand?"

"Sorry, can you go squat in the corner over there? Don't disturb me cleaning the shrine."

"Yes..." I stood in the corner obediently.

From this angle, this guy looks like a serious, dignified and beautiful witch. With this attitude of diligently cleaning the shrine in the morning light, it's a pity that this is just an appearance. This guy completely destroyed my few remaining miko-control attributes and suffered a severe blow, almost to the point of collapse.

While I was waiting eagerly, the Red and White Princess finished cleaning the entire shrine unhurriedly. Next, I prepared breakfast leisurely.

"Okay, it's almost time to go."

"That's what I've been waiting for." I immediately approached the red and white princess and stuck out my tongue... No, what does sticking out tongue mean? It's not a dog. It should be said that it was sticking out tongue in excitement... That's not right, you bastard. .

You see, I was so excited that I was speechless.

"But, before that, have you forgotten something?" Princess Hongbai opened her pure eyes without any impurities, looked at me, and prompted.

"What did you forget?" I tilted my head and recalled it carefully, finally breaking into a cold sweat.

It seems... I have indeed forgotten someone.

My stupid daughter.

"Yes, I have to go and say goodbye to her." I said dejectedly. It wasn't that I didn't want to see Cirno. It was just that compared to the urgency of returning to Rogge Camp and meeting my family, I was currently with Cirno. The matter of saying goodbye was naturally forgotten in the back of my mind.

In the past few days, Cirno came to see me once, but since I was in my true form, she naturally didn't notice [Mom]'s whereabouts, so she had no choice but to freeze the entire shrine angrily, and then slipped away.

Thanks to this, the Red and White Princess and I played skating on the stone flat for a while.

"Let's go, really, since you are unwilling, you shouldn't have promised in the first place." The red and white princess took steps down the mountain and taught me a lesson.

"Who said I was reluctant? I just forgot for a moment." Following her footsteps, with a flash of light, I transformed into the Holy Moon Wolf in the middle of speaking. This behavior caused the half of the people in front of me to The first sentence is a rough and powerful (?) male voice, and the second half of the sentence turns into a very masculine (?) female voice.

"Mom~~~" The red and white princess turned back, with tearful sadness in her eyes. People who didn't know the truth really thought that the next step would be a touching scene of mother and daughter recognizing each other.

"It's dirt!" I threw the German-style arch bridge. This scene seemed familiar.

"I remember you said that Cirno lives in the Lake of Mist, right?"

"Yeah, to be honest, I really don't want to go there."

"Why?"

"Because it's close to the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

"I see, is Cirno a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion?" I was shocked, feeling like "the daughter I just recognized is from the enemy camp and has no choice but to fall in love and kill each other." I felt like I was seeing a third-rate soap opera.

"It's true that you are causing me trouble." The red and white princess held her head against a headache.

"You haven't demolished the shrine, have you?" I asked cautiously.

"I tried to dismantle it." The red and white princess said expressionlessly.

Attempt...that means attempted crime, right? Sure enough, my idiot daughter can only be regarded as a bastard compared to the forces of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. No wonder even her lines are only for minions. It's so pitiful.

I wiped the corners of my eyes sadly, quickened my pace to follow the red and white princess, and passed through the forest through another inconspicuous path in the forest at the foot of the mountain. After crossing a river, passing near a bamboo forest, I saw a sea of ​​flowers, and bypassed several mountains shrouded in mist.

I always feel like I'm being spied on by a lot of strange guys. Is it my imagination?

After a shiver, I followed the red and white princess' footsteps more closely. Looking around carefully, I felt like I had entered a haunted house.

Finally, the red and white princess stopped in front of a forest.

"The Lake of Mist is in this forest, but..."

Raising his head, his eyes fell on the sky deep in the forest, there. The blue sky and white clouds were replaced by a blood-red fog, exuding a cold, noble and unknown atmosphere. Just looking at it from a distance, there is a strong sense of oppression.

"That's the Scarlet Devil Mansion?" I asked.

"Yeah, damn vampire headquarters, I'm going to demolish it one day." The Red and White Princess said through gritted teeth.

"Calm down, calm down. Business is more important." I was afraid that the Red and White Princess would be so angry that she would drag me as a thug to demolish the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so I quickly comforted her.

"For me, demolishing the Scarlet Devil Mansion is the biggest mission." The Red and White Princess put her foot on the ground and pointed to the sky with all her might.

Don't give up on treatment, please remember your mission as the guardian of Gensokyo! ! !

"Forget it. Let's not argue with them for today." The Red and White Princess regained her momentum.

"That's right, why bother worrying so much with the little minions." I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Let's go, I don't know if that idiot is at home." The red and white princess took another step and led me into the forest.

Gensokyo was originally shrouded in a thin layer of mist. It was especially serious when we arrived in this forest. As we went deeper and deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker. We could clearly feel that these thick fogs were a layer of moist water vapor, and it was extremely cold water vapor.

Logically speaking, when the temperature drops, the water vapor should turn into dew or even frost. However, in this environment, which is definitely lower than the temperature in Harrogas, the water mist and moisture become thicker and colder.

This weird feeling...should I say, it really deserves to be called the Lake of Fog?

Fortunately, after being promoted to Holy Moon Wolf, the Demonic Moon Wolf Witch became even more immune to the cold. Not only did this icy-cold moist mist not hinder me, but it also gave me a sense of intimacy, like an ice elf. , as if welcoming myself home, feeling refreshed.

As for the Red and White Princess, I suspect that this girl has no nerves at all, or that she is too thin to feel. Wearing an armpit-baring miko costume, I don’t think she has any difficulty adapting to the environment.

"We're here." Just when I was studying what the Red and White Princess's nerves were made of, suddenly, she who was walking in front stopped and looked ahead.

Following her line of sight, our eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge lake shrouded in mist, doubly mysterious, appeared in front of us.

"Is this the Lake of Mist?"

"Yeah." The red and white princess looked around and then sighed.

"It seems that I guessed it right. The fool is not at home. He must have gone out with other goblins to cause mischief."

"You can't say that." I retorted dissatisfiedly to the red and white princess' unfounded and malicious speculation. Even if she is an idiot daughter, she is still my idiot daughter. Besides, I have taught her a lesson and spanked her a few days ago, so she should He won't be so naughty anymore.

Well, probably...
