The Great Detective of Gensokyo, but surrounded by Shura Field!

"...Forget it, let's not fight anymore. I was just helping Chu Bai vent his magic power."

"Now that he's already vented his anger, there's no need to continue."

Marisa carried the second bag of gems and teased with a smile:

"Are you afraid?"

"What are you talking about, you black and white mouse!"

Remi suddenly realized and looked at the gem on Marisa's body:

"Wait, it's fine if Reimu comes here, but what are you doing here? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Marisa carried the third bag of gems and shook her head repeatedly:

"No, I was just passing by..."

"Then what's that bag of gems you have on you?"

Remi instantly exploded:

"If I can't beat Chu Bai and Ling Meng, can I still beat you, a black and white mouse?"

"Stop! Give me back my family's gem!"

"Wa ...

The atmosphere of battle disappeared instantly.

The little vampire girl and the black and white thief started chasing each other...

Chapter 99: The magician's mutation begins!

"...So you've forgotten me?"

I watched Chu Bai and Reimu sit down and divide Marisa's popcorn.

Patchouli patted Chu Bai's head directly with the magic book:

"I was here first, wasn't I? Even after the Scarlet Devil Mansion collapsed, I was still here helping you operate the Elemental Ritual..."

"And you just turned around and left me aside?"

Chu Bai reacted immediately and quickly handed the popcorn bucket to Pachi:

"Oh, Mu Q, look at what you said. I can forget anyone but you."

"Come here, there's popcorn, help yourself, it's my treat."

"...These are obviously the snacks that Marisa brought."

Patchy was already a little tired of complaining.

So she sat on the other side of Chu Bai, eating popcorn and said to her:

"The Elemental Mystery Ritual was a success. Your magical essence has been fully awakened. You can say that your strength has almost been restored."

"As for the Seven Luminaries Secret Treasures that activate the secret ritual... some of them have been damaged."

"The only three treasures left are the 'Flaming Thorns', the 'Moonlight Box', and the 'Deep Sea Dragon Ball'."

Upon learning the result, Chu Bai suddenly felt heartbroken.

But when he thought that this was used to restore his strength rather than wasted for no reason, he felt a little better.

But then, Patchouli's words immediately made him frown slightly:

"Besides that, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

"When I channeled the power of the Seven Luminaries to awaken your magical essence, I discovered that it wasn't dormant as I'd expected, but rather in a state similar to 'sealed.'"

"……seal?"

Chu Bai was stunned in place:

"My magical origin is sealed?"

"Yes."

Patchouli said affirmatively:

"I can't be wrong about that."

"Because under the blessing of the Elemental Mystery Array, the sealing power attached to your magical origin is as conspicuous as unzipping your pants on the street."

"In other words, the original you has actually been in a sealed state, rather than a dormant state caused by an overdraft of magic power."

She did not elaborate on the implications of this conclusion.

But Chu Bai already knew it well.

It's like a patient going to the hospital for detoxification.

If you accidentally eat red umbrella and white stem, you just need to wait for the doctor to prepare the antidote.

But if it turns out that the real cause of the dizziness wasn't the poisonous mushrooms, but the black tea given to him by his roommate...

That’s a big problem.

Because this involves a third party!

"In other words, the source of my magic is actually sealed."

"And he sealed me away during my prime, without anyone noticing..."

The moment he came to this conclusion, Chu Bai was shocked and felt as if cold sweat broke out on his back.

He was actually sealed without anyone knowing?

Who? When?

Are there such powerful people in the outside world?

"Don't worry, at least you've regained your strength now."

Seeing Chu Bai getting nervous, Patchouli comforted him:

"And I just analyzed the sealing technique and roughly understood its principles."

"Even if you are sealed again, I can use the Philosopher's Stone to break it directly without having to search for secret treasures everywhere."

Chu Bai's expression finally eased a little.

But he still felt a little worried.

During the time he was in the outside world, his vigilance had been raised to the extreme.

Even when sleeping, theoretically no one can get close without being noticed except the breath of the "Master".

But the master has been dead for many years, it can’t be that she set the seal, right?

"...Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now. I'll just investigate it later."

Chu Bai sighed and regained his composure.

"It's really thanks to you that we made the Elemental Mystery Array this time."

"Thank you so much, Pachi."

"You're so meow..."

Patch almost couldn't help but complain again.

Chu Bai chuckled twice and finally put the matter aside for the time being.

Now that I have regained my strength and have a certain number of companions around me.

Then it was time to fulfill the promise he made to Yakumo Yukari and announce his arrival to Gensokyo through a "mutation"...

……

……

The Scarlet Devil Mansion ruins incident ends here.

After making sure that there was nothing else going on here, Reimu left.

And Sakuya also contacted the construction team very skillfully and rebuilt the Scarlet Devil Mansion at an extremely fast speed.

As expected of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, they're already quite familiar with the reconstruction process...

As for Chu Bai, he became a little famous.

Because the very next day, Wenwen published a headline titled [A mysterious man fights a vampire? The story that Chu Bai and Remlia have to tell].

So many villagers were amazed when they saw Chu Bai.

Even Chu Bai himself almost couldn't hold back after seeing the newspaper.

"According to unofficial historical records, I once sold ditches to vampires?"

"The reason Remi chose me is because I like playing letter games?"

"The head maid is jealous because Fran has a crush on her?"

"What the hell is going on here! Is there a single word of truth in this Yatengu newspaper?"

Chu Bai put the newspaper away angrily and prepared to take it back to continue pasting it on the wall.

By the way, I gave Wenwen the middle finger in my heart.

The next time I see her, I will definitely tie her up and whip her hard with a whip!

Didn't you spread the rumor that I love playing alphabet games? Then I'll play with you to my heart's content!

"what……"

Just as Chu Bai was walking and fantasizing.

His body suddenly collided with a young girl.

The girl staggered back half a step, and Chu Bai immediately came to his senses:

"Sorry girl, I was distracted for a moment and didn't look where I was going."

"It doesn't matter……"

The girl shook her head slightly.

Chu Bai noticed the appearance of the girl in front of him.

She had long black hair and dark eyes that looked calm and deep. She wasn't tall and looked like an ordinary high school girl, but she was wearing a simple, somewhat ancient-looking robe that she had never seen before.

But what really moved Chu Bai's heart was not her appearance, but her temperament.

She seemed to have a mysterious aura surrounding her. Just by getting close to her, one could immediately feel a friendly atmosphere.

Obviously, her appearance was not stunning, and among the many beautiful girls, she could only be described as delicate and pretty. But she seemed to have a unique charm that could attract people, so much so that Chu Bai was stunned for a few seconds.

"what happened?"

It was the black-haired girl who spoke up and reminded Chu Bai:

"Is there something on my face?"

"No no."

Chu Bai quickly regained his composure:

"It's just that you look a lot like someone, so I was a little dazed, that's all."

"Looks like someone?"

"Well, that person is my master."

I don't know why, but after just their first meeting, Chu Bai wanted to confide in her:

"My master has black hair and black eyes, just like you, and he also has a friendly temperament."

"It's a pity that she passed away twelve years ago."

"I see... Please accept my condolences."

The black-haired girl nodded slightly, her manners and etiquette were perfect, and her words and actions were as if she were the eldest daughter of a family.

Chu Bai also realized that this topic was not suitable to talk about with someone he met for the first time.
