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

"I found it in the garbage dump at Xianglin Hall."

"...Huh? Xianglintang?"

"Yes."

Reimu said:

"I was just going to rob today... to borrow something from Lin Zhizhu."

"I ended up finding this by accident in his trash bin."

"He also looked confused at the time, and his blank expression didn't seem fake."

Rinnosuke's House...

Chu Bai fell into thought.

Could it be that the familiar breath I felt before was the breath of Lin Zhizhu?

No, that's not right.

If it were that simple, he wouldn't have gone unnoticed for so long.

Even if we take a step back and say his perception is really weakened to this extent, what about Reimu? What about Alice?

They have all been in close contact with crystal balls, so it's impossible that they can't distinguish Lin Zhizhu's aura, right?

But now is not the time to think about such things.

Chu Bai looked at the purple crystal ball and said in a deep voice:

"The question now is how to deal with it..."

This crystal ball hides a huge secret, which is likely related to the disaster that the master mentioned that will destroy Gensokyo.

But the master and that group of BBAs are all riddlers.

Not only did he not tell the truth, but he did his best to conceal it.

Although he knew that knowing the specific information would be contaminated, Chu Bai still didn't want to sit there and wait for death. Moreover, he had recently awakened his world form, so he was still confident that he could help in this disaster.

So this crystal ball must be properly preserved.

Once discovered by Yakumo Yukari and the others, it will probably be taken back immediately.

...But no matter how secretly it is kept, it will eventually be discovered.

High-pressure plots like "The protagonist who wins a 500 million lottery ticket wishes it wouldn't be lost, but ends up losing it due to various accidents" often appear in movies and TV dramas.

"We can only use the crystal ball as soon as possible."

Chu Bai said to Ling Meng:

"Before we are discovered, we must collect as much information as possible from that strange world. This is what we can do now."

Ling Meng nodded, agreeing with Chu Bai's opinion:

"But if we go in again, it's definitely not possible with just the two of us. We need some more companions."

"I already have a candidate for this."

Chu Bai said:

"Leave it to me. I'll contact them to join us."

"it is good."

……

……

Although he said he was in contact, Chu Bai did not leave the shrine.

He just sat there, sending messages on his phone.

Reimu was still curious when she saw a silver-white figure suddenly appear in the empty corner.

"Sakuya Izayoi!"

Reimu was startled:

"How did you come?"

Chu Bai explained for her:

"This is what I call my companion."

I saw that Sakuya was holding two little vampires in her hands.

They also looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

After putting Remi and Fran down, Sakuya disappeared again.

This time when she appeared, she had Marisa and Alice, who had just returned from Shining Needle Castle, in her hands.

"……what?"

Marisa scratched her head, her brain still not wrapping its head around it.

Then Sakuya disappeared and reappeared for the third time.

This time, Sanae Kofutani was carried over.

Seeing that all the companions he had summoned had gathered, Chu Bai couldn't help but express his admiration:

"Well done, Sakuya."

Sakuya smiled and responded:

"You flatter me……"

"Wait a minute...wait a minute!"

Remi interrupted their conversation:

"Sakuya, please explain what happened and why did you suddenly bring us to Hakurei Shrine?"

"Let me explain."

Chu Bai took out the purple crystal ball and said:

"This is this, this is this... Do you understand?"

Remi suddenly realized: "I see."

Fran nodded repeatedly: "I understand everything."

Sanae's eyes were deep: "I understand everything now."

Only Marisa opened her eyes.

"Am I the only one who heard the crude and crude words 'this and this and that'? And aren't your reactions a bit too exaggerated?"

Alice tugged at her sleeve.

"Since we already knew about this, it would be too watery to review the plot again. Just pretend to listen to the synopsis of the previous episode."

Chu Bai gave a thumbs up:

"As expected of Xiao Ai, you are so considerate."

Then he said to the crowd:

"That's roughly the situation."

"The secret of this crystal ball may very well be related to the disaster that will destroy Gensokyo."

"So we must delve into the world of the crystal ball as deeply as possible, gathering intelligence and conducting exploration and investigation in this strange and twisted world."

After a pause, he added:

"But this matter cannot be discovered by Yakumo Yukari's group of riddlers, Lao Deng."

"Not only did they obstruct our investigation, they even bewitched my master and used insidious means to lure him into their Riddler camp."

"So this matter should only be known to those present here, and it must not be spread outside."

The girls nodded in understanding.

Chu Bai also looked around at everyone and confirmed the number of people again.

There were eight people present.

This is also the partner Chu Bai plans to travel with.

In fact, Kaguya's good brother is also a trustworthy person, but she lives in the same place with Eight Eirin after all, so there is a great risk of being exposed.

In addition, she herself had clearly stated that she did not want to get involved in trouble, so she was not called into this operation for the time being.

"Well, I'm going to activate the crystal ball."

Because the situation is urgent and it concerns the main plot of the disaster that destroyed Gensokyo.

So the girls who gathered in a hurry did not chat with each other or complain to each other, but got into the mood directly.

Chu Bai first kept a backup plan and engraved a few teleportation runes on the tatami to ensure that he could cast teleportation magic in the strange world.

Then he picked up the crystal ball, slowly covered it with his palm, and magic power gushed out.

Just like when the crystal ball was activated for the first time, fluctuations symbolizing transmission type continuously emanated from the crystal ball.

An ominous purple light flashed, and the next moment, everyone present disappeared...

Chapter 248 Hehehehehehehehe~

dark.

groggy.

The moment he arrived in this world, Chu Bai immediately felt a slight sense of discomfort.

Sanae, who was good at sensing the power of faith, frowned directly:

"There's no faith in this world anymore. Even the emotion called hope is gone."

"It's as if the world itself is completely dead..."

Remi looked around and also frowned:

"Is this the world in the crystal ball that Chu Bai mentioned?"

Reimu nodded:

"Yes, from now on, we are likely to run into familiar people from Gensokyo."

"But those people are twisted, weird, and very hostile to us."

"So we must be vigilant and never show mercy."

Marisa looked around:

"It seems that there is no one here who is soft-hearted, right?"

This is true.

Even Sanae, who is known for her gentleness, can do the feat of dismantling a Gundam with her bare hands when she gets angry. Of course, it is impossible for her to be merciful.

But Remi still expressed doubts:

"Although it's weird, what kind of weirdness is it?"

"Well, that's probably..."

Chu Bai thought about it, and suddenly his head turned 360 degrees and fell down, and the blood on his neck spurted more than two feet high.

"I go!"

This sudden scene startled the girls present.
