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

Page 241

Chu Bai slept soundly.

He vaguely dreamed that he was beside a dark river.

On the other side of the river stood a huge red-haired girl carrying a sickle, smiling and waving at him.

But just when he was sleeping soundly, a series of noisy noises woke him up again.

"Humans... are delicious..."

"Such a pretty little girl must taste delicious..."

"I'm so lucky! I get to enjoy some snacks right after I evolve..."

Such standard villain lines made Chu Bai subconsciously release his perception.

Not far ahead, he saw a girl with short purple hair running towards him.

Behind the girl were three strange-looking monsters.

Soon the short-haired girl came near Chu Bai. Due to the magic circle that Chu Bai had set up before he fell asleep, she did not see Chu Bai.

However, her exhausted strength forced her to stop.

"Haida Ah Qiu?"

When Chu Bai saw the face of the short-haired girl, he recognized her at once.

Facing the siege of the monsters, Ah Qiu was not afraid, but asked seriously:

"You are the monsters near the village, right?"

"Hakurei Miko has established a rule that monsters near the village are not allowed to eat humans. Are you trying to break the rule?"

The leading monster laughed strangely, its bloodthirsty pupils tinged with a faint dark wave:

"Who cares about your rules! Monsters eat humans. It's just natural. It's that simple!"

The other two monsters also surrounded Aqiu with bad intentions.

Seeing that the negotiations failed, Aqiu sighed helplessly.

There is no other choice but to use the secret treasure.

But in this case, the aura of the secret treasure would definitely be detected by the elders, and the plan of traveling secretly would completely fail.

But just as she was about to activate the secret treasure, Chu Bai suddenly removed the magic circle and waved to Aqiu:

"Oh, what a coincidence, Qiu. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"...Mr. Chu Bai?"

Ah Qiu immediately happily put away the secret treasure:

"So you're here too?"

"Yeah, I was taking a nap nearby and got woken up by it."

As he spoke, Chu Bai looked at the monsters chasing Aqiu:

"So, have you guys thought of your last words?"

"Ha! Who the hell are you? You're so arrogant!"

These three monsters were obviously newly evolved, and even Chu Bai and A Qiu didn’t recognize them.

So Chu Bai taught them a lesson directly.

As he raised his hand, the wind blade fell.

The leading monster had its head chopped off immediately.

"What the hell?"

The remaining two monsters were startled, and the dark light in their eyes seemed to dim a little:

"So it's you, Master Magician! We have just gained intelligence and are still children... Please have mercy on us, please have mercy on us..."

Wow, the monsters in Gensokyo are quite humane and even beg for mercy.

Thinking of this, Chu Bai laughed:

"Don't worry, Chu's sword will not kill the young or the old."

The two monsters were immediately overjoyed.

Just as I was about to run away, I heard Chu Bai's voice change:

"But I still have a small knife, which I use to kill the old and the young."

"???"

The monsters paused:

"Your mother..."

Click!

The cold light fell, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Chu Bai."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ah Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief:

"I don't know why, but these low-level monsters have been getting a lot more aggressive lately. Even when I revealed my identity as the head of the Hieda family, they still kept chasing me."

Chu Bai put his nose close to it and sniffed:

"Maybe your body smells too good?"

"!!"

The sudden approaching masculine scent made Ah Qiu subconsciously take half a step back.

But before she could recover from her accelerated heartbeat, she saw Chu Bai had changed the subject.

"But this kind of thing is indeed worth noting."

"A rather clichéd hero-saving-beauty storyline like this should have been completely lost."

"And the pitch-black aura in the monster's eyes clearly gives me the feeling that 'this thing must be something special, so it deserves a separate chapter'... I'll just write it down for now."

After writing it down in his notebook, Chu Bai turned his head and looked at Aqiu:

"And Ah Qiu, why did you come out alone? You have almost no fighting ability. It would be better for you to bring a few warriors with you."

"Ah...this..."

Ah Qiu took a deep breath.

While Chu Bai was complaining, she calmed her inexplicably rapid heartbeat and regained her composure.

"I sneaked out."

"Sneak out?"

"Yes, because I have a hobby of writing novels, so I often sneak out alone to collect folk songs. Without the constraints of my family, I feel much happier."

Speaking of novels, Chu Bai also became interested.

After all, he is a Chinese teacher and is quite interested in literature:

"So Gensokyo still has novels for sale?"

"Of course there are, and quite a few."

"Do you have any recommended works?"

Chu Bai said:

"To be honest, I'm very interested in literary works, especially detective novels."

Hearing Chu Bai say this, Ah Qiu rolled his eyes and said tentatively:

"Then how about trying Agatha Christie's novel 'Is This All a Monster's Work?'"

"This is a currently popular mystery novel in Gensokyo. The author's research and writing style are both excellent."

As she spoke, she took out a book from her bosom:

"I happen to have the first volume of this book with me. Would you like to try it?"

"Then I won't be polite."

Chu Bai took the novel and said with emotion:

"A mystery novel that's such a bestseller in Gensokyo must have something remarkable going for it."

Aqiu nodded:

"I'm just a casual observer, and I think this book is very well written."

"Okay, then I'll accept it with gratitude."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"If it's really good, maybe I'll ask you to share my thoughts."

Aqiu also gave a thumbs up and responded:

“You’re always welcome.”

……

The Hieda family is a famous family in the world.

Having a good relationship with Ah Qiu would definitely be helpful to him as a resident living among humans.

With this thought in mind, Chu Bai chatted with A Qiu for a while.

When Hieda Aqiu said goodbye to her and embarked on his writing and field research journey again, the girl with lavender hair suddenly reacted.

"...Mingming's friendship with Mr. Chu Bai wasn't particularly close. I simply gave him a house for practically free and forgave his debts in the human world."

"Why do I feel like meeting an old friend when I meet him again at this time?"

"Does he have the ability to make people feel approachable?"

Ah Qiu murmured:

"But as the Dragon God's disciple, isn't this ability a bit too simple?"

"...Forget it. Now I'm Agatha Chris Q, who enjoys writing novels, not the head of the Hieda family, who wrote the origins of Gensokyo."

"I'll leave this kind of troublesome matter for me to think about tomorrow~"

……

the other side.

Chu Bai also embarked on the journey to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

The short rest allowed him to regain some strength, and after drinking two bottles of potion given by Yonglin, he was able to recover somewhat.

But I took out a small mirror and looked at myself, and found that my complexion was still not very good.

"I hope I don't scare Sakuya later."
