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

"Huh? That's what the head maid said?"

Chu Bai was also a little surprised.

Isn’t this treatment a bit too good?

Although he did help the Scarlet Devil Mansion before, Remi had already paid him enough or even more than that. There was no need for him to be so enthusiastic like he is now, right?

As if seeing Chu Bai's doubts, Hong Meiling explained:

"It is said that this is the order from the young lady. Sakuya was also confused when she conveyed it. Do you have a good relationship with Miss Remi?"

"Uh, this..."

When Chu Bai mentioned the little vampire girl, he immediately thought of the accidental kiss incident.

It can't be that just because of this, the young lady looks at him differently.

"I don't have any idea here."

Chu Bai changed the subject vaguely:

"Since you've given me permission, I'll just go in, okay?"

"Please come in please come in."

Hong Meiling obediently gave way.

The expected plot of "fighting starts as soon as their eyes meet" did not happen.

In fact, compared to visiting someone in person, Chu Bai felt a sense of intimacy, like being home.

He shook his head and put these messy thoughts behind him.

Chu Bai slowly pushed open the door and entered the luxurious mansion again.

……

……

"...So why are you so breathless?"

Scarlet Devil Mansion, first floor, reception hall.

Remi looked at Chu Bai helplessly.

Chu Bai's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and he was sitting in a chair gasping for breath.

Hearing Remi's voice, Chu Bai replied weakly:

"Of course it's because of the corridor in your house."

"corridor?"

Remi raised her eyebrows in confusion:

"Is there some powerful mechanism there that could have put you in such a state of distress?"

"There is no mechanism."

Chu Bai laughed dryly. "The main reason is that there are many pillars in that corridor, and they are all covered with a dazzling array of gems. It took me a lot of effort to pick them off..."

"???"

Remi's mouth twitched immediately: "So you are tired of picking up the gems? Return the gems to me quickly!"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Chu Bai laughed and said:

"I didn't take your gemstones. After all, I'm a very principled person."

"And your maid seems to have reinforced the gem. It's really hard to remove it without some tricks..."

"So you went ahead and took it, huh? You're still as greedy as ever!"

Remi looked at Chu Bai helplessly.

She already knew the reason why Chu Bai came.

However, because Patchouli was washing up, she had to wait for a while before she could meet the guests.

So Chu Bai came to the living room and happened to meet Remlia who was about to go upstairs to sleep.

So, the two of them just started playing the staring game here.

"Um, Miss Remi?"

Chu Bai pointed at himself doubtfully:

"Excuse me, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

Remlia shook her head.

Perhaps because she was getting ready for bed, she felt a little tired, so she didn't act like a spoiled young lady.

At this moment, she was just sitting in front of Chu Bai, staring at him with her wine-red eyes.

After a long time, she suddenly spoke:

"I have the ability to manipulate fate."

“I can see the thread of fate in each person and change their destiny to a certain extent.”

"But your fate is the only one I cannot fathom, and it seems I have no way of interfering."

"what?"

Chu Bai was slightly stunned, and Remi continued:

"The thread of your destiny is very complex, just like the blood vessels of the human body, spreading out across the entire Gensokyo."

"There are so many people whose fate is intertwined with yours. To such an extent, I wouldn't be surprised even if you claimed to be the embodiment of the laws of fate."

Looking at Remi's slightly serious expression, Chu Bai was still a little confused:

"so what?"

"So... uh..."

Remi was suddenly stunned:

"Hmm... doesn't seem like a big deal?"

"???"

Chu Bai almost choked on his own saliva:

"So you're trying to force the word count here, right? Forcing yourself to have more scenes?"

"That's not the way to say it."

Remi shook her head slightly:

"At least I can tell you that your destiny is extremely extensive, and you have special "connections" with many people."

"In other words, when you're feeling lost, it's helpful to make more friends or interact with them more."

"These actions that follow the thread of fate may improve your situation and even become your strength."

Make more friends?

More contact and interaction with friends?

Listening to Remlia's advice, Chu Bai suddenly remembered his system.

The main function of the system seems to be to "stick to others to increase points", and then use the points to exchange for various abilities and props, right?

The guidance direction of this system is exactly the same as Remi's suggestion.

"Miss, Miss Patch has finished packing."

There was a knock on the door and the head maid Sakuya came in to report.

Remi also opened her little mouth and yawned slightly.

Along with the sound of her breathing, the pair of small wings behind her trembled slightly, looking extremely cute.

"Then I'm going to bed. Sakuya, take Chubai to see Pachi."

"Oh, by the way, Chu Bai, I have seen that your fate is closely related to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so I have specially allowed you to enter and exit the mansion at will."

“As long as you don’t take away, you can also enjoy the snacks or meals here.”

Such a precious privilege is given with such ease.

Remlia staggered towards her room.

You can tell she's really tired. After all, it's already morning, which would be late at night for a vampire.

If she hadn't been talking to Chu Bai, she would have fallen into a sweet dream by now.

"Then Mr. Chu Bai, please follow me."

Sakuya extended her hand slightly, showing great respect for the distinguished guest who had been personally instructed by the young lady.

"From here we can reach the Great Library."

"By the way, the basement over there is a very dangerous place. Please don't go near it."

Chu Bai nodded slightly, keeping Remi's words in mind, and then followed Sakuya's footsteps and walked towards the library.

……

……

Walk down the long stairs.

Come to the Great Library again.

Looking at the familiar environment around him, Chu Bai couldn't help but sigh:

"I remember the last time I came here was the time before last."

Sakuya's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't join in the conversation.

A familiar voice suddenly came from deep within the library.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Have you become such an unreliable man?"

"……Eh?"

Chu Bai was slightly stunned and looked at the person who made the sound.

She was a girl with long purple hair, wearing a robe as loose as pajamas, and a purple hat with a crescent moon decoration like a logo.

But from what she said just now, it seemed like they already knew each other?

But Chu Bai had no impression of Patchouli.

"Have we known each other before?" Chu Bai asked curiously.

Patchouli sighed, put down the book in her hand, and took out a wig from her side.

She took off her hat, put her black hair on her head, and put on a pair of black-framed glasses.

Chu Bai finally understood what was going on. His face changed drastically, and he pointed at Pachi and said tremblingly:

"Hey!!"

"You, you, you...it's actually you? So you are Patchouli?"

“It’s me.”

Patchouli took off her wig and glasses, and a teasing smile appeared on her quiet face:

"Eighteen years ago, in the small town of Malcesine, Italy, it was me who comforted you when you were crying and making a fuss, and I also showed you the magnificent effects of the Elemental Mysteries..."

"You shouldn't have forgotten this, right? After all, I did hold you in my arms when you were little."

Chapter 41 This is the Scarlet Devil Mansion, not the Homo Mansion!

The face of the girl in my memory gradually overlapped with the face of Patchouli in front of me.

The past that was almost forgotten resurfaced in my mind.

That year, Chu Bai was only 6 years old.
