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

"Anyway, I'll introduce him to you later. Maybe you two can get along well."

"Okay, okay, then I'll look forward to it."

After half a month of getting along, Chu Bai and Alice became much more familiar with each other and became real friends.

And because Chu Bai also taught her a lot of knowledge in this area, Alice's personality also changed slightly.

At least she won't be so bothered by human interaction.

But just as they were exchanging greetings, the door of the Scarlet Devil Mansion suddenly and slowly opened.

A maid with short white hair and a graceful demeanor came out.

"It seems you are the detectives who came here in response to the announcement."

"I'm Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You can call me... Sakuya Izayoi."

"Unfortunately, my eldest daughter doesn't like noisy environments, so you can't all pass through."

Someone in the crowd raised their hand and asked:

"So, how can I get into the museum and claim the bounty... oh no, how can I help retrieve the books?"

"It's very simple."

Sakuya glanced at everyone and spoke calmly:

"Then let's use the detective method, that is, combat, to decide the candidate."

"???"

Someone couldn't hold it any longer:

"Which detective solves cases with his fists?"

"Well, it doesn't matter what happens..."

"How can it not matter?"

"You're so nagging." Sakuya frowned slightly. "If you keep complaining, you'll be declared the loser."

No one said anything now.

Sakuya then said with satisfaction:

"Here are the rules. You'll have a free-for-all among yourselves, and the last two standing get to enter the mansion."

"If you're defeated, you must leave the stage. Even if you leave the designated area, you'll be declared the loser. So, let the battle begin."

Just said a few words.

Sakuya quietly retreated back into the hall.

Chu Bai didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the head maid's gaze stayed on him for a long time.

"Hey, are you kidding?"

Another detective on the scene spoke up: "Detectives rely on their brains. I've never heard of them having to fight?"

"Yeah yeah."

Someone else echoed, "Besides, I'm not good at sports... sneak attacks!!"

The man's expression suddenly changed in the middle of his speech, and he punched the person next to him, causing him to bleed from the nose.

"What the hell? You, Old Six, actually launched a sneak attack?"

"No choice. The only ones left working are the last two standing. We have to fight!"

"You bastard, take this punch from grandpa!"

"Ah Minos..."

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and more than 30 people were caught in a melee.

Although most of them are ordinary people, some of them have mastered extraordinary abilities.

Like now, Chu Bai was blocked by two magic apprentices.

"Just lie down! Fireball!"

"The opportunity to make money belongs to us! Hail impact!"

Chu Bai certainly didn't care about the half-baked spells cast by the two half-baked apprentices.

Even if his origin was severely damaged, these small fry couldn't harm him.

He just slightly turned sideways to avoid the fireball, then pressed down his palm, and a huge ice elemental ball fell from the sky, knocking the opponent unconscious to the ground.

The other magician met Alice, a magician of even higher rank.

Several silk threads were wrapped around it, and two puppets that came out of nowhere, one on the left and one on the right, speared the opponent away.

"It looks like someone has already cooperated."

Chu Bai said:

"Xiao Ai, let's work together. At least let's get into the Scarlet Devil Mansion first."

"Uh-huh."

Alice and Chu Bai started to clear the field, and almost no one could last two moves in front of them.

Until the end, everyone else either fainted or fled, and only three figures were left in the center of the venue.

"what?"

Looking at the other girl wearing a red and white witch costume and a huge bow, Chu Bai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Reimu? Why are you here too?"

"Can't I come?"

Reimu said happily:

"I really had no interest in it. After all, I was too lazy to look for books, and I didn't understand detective thinking."

"But think about it, this is the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Even if you sneak in and take something out, you can make a lot of money!"

The girl's eyes sparkled with gold, and she made no secret of her desire for money.

Alice, however, immediately discovered the blind spot:

"So, the Scarlet Devil Mansion just had its books stolen, and now it's about to be robbed by a red and white bandit like you..."

"Anyway, stop talking nonsense!"

Ling Meng looked at Chu Bai:

"Get out of the way, Xiaobai. You can't beat me."

"Besides, I was the one who introduced you to this job, so it's only natural that you should give it up!"

"Hmph, please save your sweet dreams for tonight."

Chu Bai had no intention of retreating:

"The 10,000 yen grand prize is right in front of me, how can I give up like this!"

Alice also leaned against Chu Bai:

"And there's me too."

"Since you've agreed to help Xiaobai, you must do your best to help him. After all, we are friends."

Looking at the two people leaning against each other.

Reimu suddenly felt inexplicably irritated, as if something precious had been taken away by someone else.

She snorted coldly, and a strong aura burst out from her body:

"In that case, let's decide the spots by fighting!"

"Talisman——"Dream Seal"!"

The red and white talisman cards shattered around him, and the talisman paper and spiritual power formed several spectacular energy balls.

The energy ball was spinning rapidly, flashing dazzling light and rushing towards Chu Bai!

Chu Bai was shocked on the spot:

"Damn it, Reimu, are you serious?"

"What else? Am I supposed to watch you go in?"

Reimu snorted, her tone sounding quite unhappy: "Just get out of here!"

The red and white energy ball, wrapped in a terrifying aura, attacked Chu Bai's body again at an extremely fast speed.

This is not the level of a half-baked apprentice, but a powerful enemy that must be taken seriously.

Chu Bai, who had no way to avoid it, sighed lightly and started to activate the broken magic source in his body for the first time in a long time.

"In that case, I have no choice but to show my strength..."

"Although my magic power is weak now, I can't be defeated so easily!"

"Illusion spell - "Extreme Cold Field"!"

"Ice Spell - Diamond Snow Dance!"

Chapter 7: The Greedy Priestess of Paradise Was Defeaten!

Reimu is an extremely powerful being.

Chu Bai had noticed this when he first met her.

Even when Chu Bai was at his peak two years ago, with the help of his Noble Phantasm, he couldn't guarantee a victory over Reimu.

Not to mention the current miserable state.

But there are more ways to win than just direct combat...

"Illusion spell - "Extreme Cold Field"!"

"Ice Spell - Diamond Snow Dance!"

Speeding declaration, silent chanting.

Chu Bai released two spells in succession, and the surrounding scene was filled with a cold deep blue.

Huge frost condensation quickly surrounded him, blocking the energy ball in the air.

Reimu snorted, and several rotating Yin-Yang jade patterns appeared beside her. Each Yin-Yang jade rapidly fired red and white talismans like a fully automatic machine gun.

Under the suppression of the barrage, Chu Bai immediately fell into a disadvantage.

But don't forget, he is not fighting alone.

"Battle Symbol——"Small Army"!"

Alice also released a spell card.

A large number of puppets armed with weapons surrounded and attacked from all directions, chopping down the runes in the air one after another.

Chu Bai's pressure suddenly dropped, and he once again seized the opportunity to cast a spell:

"Ice Curse—"Ice Crystal Explosion"!"

"It's useless! Dream Talisman - "Demon Sealing Array"!"

Like cowboys in the West drawing their guns to duel, the two men released their moves at the same time.

But this time Chu Bai's spell did not work.

As soon as the huge ice crystal was formed, the overwhelming red and white barrage suddenly changed.

At the same time, a strong binding and sealing force came from the front. Chu Bai only felt that the magic power stagnated, and the ice crystal that was about to be rubbed out exploded on the spot.
