I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Noticing Xiaoling's distraction, Aqiu was slightly stunned, then laughed silently.

Sure enough, I still have some ideas.

Chapter 23: Shemingwan's "A New Era"

In the gathering place of a group of monsters, the food was not touched much, but the smell of alcohol was rising to the sky.

"Hahaha, come and drink, another bucket, I haven't had such a good drink in a long time!"

"Yes, and this wine tastes much better than the one we brew ourselves. This trip was not in vain."

"That's right. As long as there's a constant supply of this kind of fine wine, I'd be willing to stay here!"

"You're overthinking it. Banquets of this magnitude were rare in the past. It's enough to have one once every century."

"Hahaha, why think so much? I have good wine to drink now, which is enough for me."

"That's right, come on, keep drinking."

......

In a remote place where monsters gather, a figure is stealthily leaving here.

"Tsk, a bunch of idiots who only know how to drink. Don't they understand that this is a good opportunity to investigate the owner of this place?

But luckily they're a bunch of idiots, so no one will snatch it from me." With the camera hanging on her chest, Reimu looked around cautiously again, and when she found no one noticed her, she quickly ran away.

"Where could he be? I heard that Reimu brought him here, so maybe he's with Reimu and the others?" Reimu Hideki was observing his surroundings while trying to hide his figure.

However, in the eyes of the monsters or fairies around her, she just looked even weirder.

"But if we go to Reimu's place, the ghost will probably be there too. If we go, we might even be dragged out for a drink. But if we don't go, and miss it, we might have to wait a while before we see it again."

On the one hand, he was struggling to get first-hand information, but on the other hand, he was worried that he would be dragged out for drinks after going there and would have no time to inquire about the news. Reimu Marufumi felt very conflicted for a while.

But after hesitating for a moment, he decided to go.

If I go, there's just a possibility that I won't be able to find out the news, but if I don't go, there's no possibility at all.

If that doesn't work, she will be thick-skinned and force Bai to stay by her side for a while.

Having made the decision, Reimu Hōrō changed direction and walked towards Reimu, but as soon as he turned around, a figure appeared in front of his face.

"Wow!" Reimu Marufumi exclaimed and quickly took a few steps back.

After she stopped, she realized that the person in front of her was Bai, the one she had been looking for.

"What are you doing? You suddenly appear on my face. It's scary!"

"Well, I saw you sneaking around here, Wenwen, and I don't know what you were doing, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

Bai spread his hands, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

"What do you mean by sneaking around? I've been walking openly the whole time. Um, wait, why are you here?"

Reimu Hōrōbō wanted to refute it immediately, but when she came to her senses, she realized that the big news was right next to her.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter why you're here. I just happened to be looking for you."

Looking for him? That's a coincidence.

Bai Ye just happened to want to find Wenwen and the others, but he didn't say it immediately. Instead, he wanted to see what Wenwen was going to do.

"What do you want from me?"

Wenwen was delighted to see that Bai didn't leave immediately, but her face didn't show any change.

"Well, I have something good to tell you."

"What good thing?"

"That means you will be featured in the largest section of the next issue of Wenwen News. How about it? Are you happy?" Wenwen held her head high and chest out, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what she said.

"Wenwen News? Are you referring to the newspaper that reports on gossip obtained through all kinds of despicable means, and then maliciously adapted to be used as after-dinner gossip?" Baimian looked thoughtful, as if he was recalling the contents of the newspaper.

"Hey, where did this obviously slanderous news come from?" Wenwen shouted dissatisfiedly.

As a journalist, she has lived a life of integrity and honesty, and almost all the news she obtained was obtained at the risk of her life. At most, she just processed the news a little bit. How could it be as excessive as Bai said?

"Well, who knows? But don't worry about it. I'm in a good mood right now. Just ask if you want to know."

Is there any need to spread this news? Anyone who has known Reimu Maru in Gensokyo knows what kind of personality she has.

"I do care, but since you're willing to be interviewed, let's forget about it for now." Wenwen muttered, then cheered up and took out a small notebook.

"Very good, now for the first question."

Postpartum care for sows? This thought suddenly popped up in Bai's mind.

"Where is this place?" But it was obvious that Wenwen would not ask that.

"I call it the Garden of Eden. You can think of it as a barrier or something like that."

"Yes, there's a large barrier next to the Mist Lake. Its purpose is currently unknown, but it's likely used to hide some unspeakable secrets."

"Stop it, everyone's barrier is used to hide things."

"Don't worry about it. Next question, I heard you're from the outside world. What do you think of Gensokyo?"

"There are so many talented people here, and they speak so well. I love it here."

"Yeah, I don't have any ill will towards Gensokyo, but I pointed out the special side of some people here. It's very likely that I have a private understanding of them and have clearly expressed my deep affection for some of them."

Wenwen was writing furiously and didn't notice that Bai, who was joking just now, had gradually stopped smiling.

"I heard that you have close connections with people including but not limited to Hakurei Reimu, Marisa, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and Yakumo Yukari. Do you have any alternative explanation?"

"It's a normal friendship."

"Yes, the person involved said they were just friends, but judging from their tone and expression, it's not that simple.

According to this reporter's understanding, the term "friends" between a man and a woman seems to have a different meaning in the outside world, and there are rumors that the person in question is from the outside world, so whether it has a different meaning remains to be determined."

"Nothing else was meant."

“The parties involved have repeatedly emphasized…”

Before Wenwen finished writing, the booklet in her hand was suddenly snatched away by a hand.

"You can't continue writing this. If you publish this report, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life anymore."

Bai, who was originally very excited, now had a helpless expression.

He had heard about the distorted nature of Wenwen's news, but he didn't expect it to be so distorted. No wonder those people wanted to beat her up when they saw her.

"Wait, that's my exclusive information. I can't show it to outsiders."

Seeing the booklet being snatched away, Wenwen was a little panicked for a moment.

What was recorded there was not only Bai's affairs, but also a lot of information that was not released because it was relatively confidential.

At this moment, she also ignored how Bai had just snatched the booklet from her, the fastest person in Gensokyo, and took a step closer to take it back.

But Bai suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Okay, Wenwen, the farce is almost over, it's time to get down to business."

"Hey, what do you mean? Isn't this a serious matter?" Wenwen struggled twice, but found that she couldn't get free, so she looked at Bai with a puzzled look.

Is this guy so strong?

Wait, he's so strong, is she in trouble?!

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you will know soon." Bai smiled gently, and a stream of energy injected into Wenwen's body.

As if she felt the invasion of a foreign object, Wenwen suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

It's over!

Chapter 24: Wenwen Being Controlled

"Huh? It seems like nothing happened?" After waiting for a long time and even feeling that something terrible was going to happen to him, Reimu Hōrō suddenly felt something was wrong. He tried to open his eyes and feel his body, but it seemed like nothing happened.

Are you trying to scare her? No!

Reimu Marufumi raised his head and stared at Bai, trying to find something.

She came to interview him. What did she ask just now? He said that he had never had a peaceful life?

How is that possible? With his ability, how could he not live a stable life?

Reimu Hōménmaru immediately wanted to shake his head to deny it.

Wait, why does she know his strength?

Of course I've seen it before.

Yes, I’ve seen her before, and she was rescued once. So what happened next?

Later... Later at the banquet at Youkai Mountain...

As I asked myself questions and answered them in my mind, fragments of memories emerged.

When he came to his senses again, the look in his eyes when he looked at Bai had changed.

"You...you...why are you here?"

Wenwen didn't know what she recalled, but her cheeks flushed and her words became nervous.

"Shouldn't you know clearly why I'm here, Wenwen?"

Seeing Wenwen's appearance, Bai Ye also realized that her memory had been restored. However, Wenwen's condition made him fall into contemplation.

Did he do anything to Wenwen? She looked like...

Wait, he remembered.

"Wenwen, it looks like your memory has returned. How about we settle the story you fabricated about me?"

"Bian Fei?" Wenwen showed a hint of doubt, but it disappeared in a flash.

"I haven't sent it out yet. If no one has seen it, it hasn't happened yet. So please return the booklet to me as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter whether other people saw it or not, but I did see it. It happened right before my eyes. Wenwen, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"So you don't mind sending these out..." Before she could finish her words, Wenwen covered her mouth instantly.

Damn it, I didn’t expect that the habit I’ve developed over the years would appear in this situation. I must change it when I get back!

Of course, you have to be able to go back first.

When she looked up again and saw the playful smile on Bai's face, she knew something was wrong.

"Well, it seems that you still have some ideas, Wenwen. I guess you have already memorized all the contents above?" Bai waved the booklet in his hand, and then the booklet disappeared under Wenwen's dull eyes.

"To prevent the contents of this booklet from being leaked due to your accidental loss, I will keep it for you."

"Wait, there's something on it..."

Seeing the booklet being put away by Bai, Wenwen became panicked.

There were not only text records on it, but also some photos that she had accidentally taken that were almost impossible to disclose.

If those photos were to get out...she would really be beaten to death!

But on second thought, it seemed that it might be okay to put it in Bai's hands. Those photos were of no use to her anyway, so it would be safer in Bai's hands.

As for what Bai discovered inside, it doesn’t matter. Bai snatched it from her with his own strength. What does it have to do with her?

"What?"

"No, it's nothing."

At least she couldn't take the initiative to tell Bai the above content, but instead induced Bai to take the initiative to read it. In this way, either she could get herself out of the crime, or the two of them would be accomplices, which was completely killing two birds with one stone!

Bai didn't know what Wenwen was thinking, but he could feel that she seemed to have other plans, but it didn't matter.

Although he was interested in the contents of the booklet, he would not take the initiative to read it without Wenwen's consent unless at certain special times.

If Wenwen wants to rely on this calculation, he is still a little short of it.

"Okay, it doesn't matter what happens. That's a matter for the future. The current problem hasn't been resolved yet."

Bai suddenly let go of Wenwen's arm, and his eyes became somewhat malicious.
