Fighting you is like being in jail.

"one day?"

"How come it's only been one day?"

Yakumo Yukari and Rei Chang noticed the problem and exchanged a puzzled look.

"Yes, one day... no, several days? What happened? I can't remember." Yakumo Ran's eyebrows were furrowed, filled with a sense of logical inconsistency, as if a rough guess and a detailed thought were completely different things.

What did he write?

"I asked curiously," Yakumo Yukari asked.

"I don't know, let me look for it."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Ran shook her head and turned to rummage through the TV cabinet, but she couldn't see the diary that was clearly inside.

"That's strange. I remember putting it here, how did it suddenly disappear?"

Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He reached for the diary and said seriously, "If we can't find it, so be it. We'll look for it ourselves."

"Alright then, I'll go cook." Yakumo Ran didn't think much of it and got up to go to the kitchen to work.

Then Yakumo Yukari came over and sat down next to Leng Chang, her eyes curiously looking at the diary.

"Have a look."

She urged him, and Leng Chang immediately opened his diary.

'It's too late, I'm too late. I can't save this world.'

"Oh Yao?"

Leng Chang raised an eyebrow as if he understood something. It seemed that the old man had also made efforts here, otherwise he wouldn't have left such clues.

'The outside world has been destroyed; the collapse of Gensokyo is only a matter of time.'

"What! ?"

Yakumo Yukari's pupils contracted, and she abruptly grabbed the diary, her arm trembling as the tremor traveled to Leng Chang.

"The outside world is destroyed? How could this be? When... Wait! The outside world... the outside world..."

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she was lost in painful memories. She realized she had forgotten what was happening in the outside world, as if she hadn't paid attention to it for a long time.

"how? "

"I can't remember the last time I paid attention to the outside world... it's like I subconsciously ignored the question."

Yakumo Yukari frowned in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

But it doesn't matter!

Leng Chang planned to watch it first before making a decision.

Time in Gensokyo has begun to shatter; more accurately, consciousness. The people here can only remember the first day.

'After the first day, I realized that the people around me could no longer see me.'

'I investigated the entire Gensokyo but found no clues. Finally, I realized something was wrong with the sky.'

There's something in the sky. I don't know what it is, but I can sense that it definitely doesn't belong to Gensokyo.

'I shattered something in the sky, and everyone regained their memories at that moment.'

'I thought I had succeeded, but I was wrong. The recovery time was only one day.'

'Trapped in the loop once again, I began to carefully examine the details, and what I discovered was terrifying.'

The offering box at Hakurei Shrine used to accept money, but now it displays "This function is temporarily unavailable" after you try to put money in it.

'And Izayoi's pocket watch has the words SAKUYAV1023 on the back.'

The reflection will have a 0.1-second delay.

'The world is wrong!'

'I've discovered that Gensokyo is currently a large-scale world program.'

'That thing in the sky is a detector that monitors and repairs errors in the monitoring program.'

Is this really Gensokyo?

'I can't understand what's going on, but I know something must have happened.'

'Perhaps the clues are outside, but when I opened the gap... I found the outside world was gone, nothing but pitch blackness.'

'I returned to Gensokyo and began to ponder. If Gensokyo were a program, then there must be an administrator.'

'If it's a program, then it will have a program core.'

'To investigate the administrators and core members, I visited everyone again and discovered that each of their valuable items had its own inscription.'

'Remilia's weapon is marked Remiliavl 24, while Flandre's magic sword is Flandrev 555.'

'Reimu's gohei is Reimuv666.'

'It's too late. There's nothing I can do. The world is already under the system's control.'

"Hiss—!"

Leng Chang couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run down his spine. It turned out that the entire Gensokyo was problematic.

But now, the people living here are all acting strangely.

But judging from the previous memory recovery, it is undoubtedly the person in question.

At this moment, Leng Chang couldn't help but look at Yakumo Yukari, who was shivering beside him, and asked, "Lao Ba, do you have a version number on you?"

"No, I don't know..."

"Yukari Yakumo said in a trembling voice, her pupils dilating violently, and she was completely bewildered."

What are some things you usually use?

"A folding fan!"

She took out her folding fan and examined it frantically, looking at it carefully from front to back, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"No...it seems there's still hope for me."

Yakumo Yukari gasped for breath as if she had been pulled out of the water, her clothes soaked with sweat and clinging to her skin, creating wrinkles.

Leng Chang, however, seemed to have thought of something and began to think seriously, asking with a hint of doubt:

"Laoba."

"what?"

What would happen if I gave Reimu money from the outside world?

"ah? "

"answer me."

"Of course we're accepting it, what's wrong?"

"Hehe!"

Look! The chicken feet are showing!

Leng Chang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing an evil smile.

Hakurei Rei!

Why did you stop me from stuffing money in the air after that thing in the sky destroyed it?

Why are you not tempted by money when you see it? You even complain that you can't use it.

Hakurei Rei Dream!

Because you're the administrator, right?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

"Sparashi! Just a tiny bit more, just a tiny bit more!"

Leng Chang felt guided by fate and looked at Yakumo Yukari with surprise and delight.

"Did you find anything?" Yakumo Yukari could tell that Leng Chang must have made some discovery.

"Eighth Brother, reality may be very cruel for you, but I hope you can hold on."

Leng Chang patted Yakumo Yukari's shoulder earnestly, his expression full of concern.

"Speak up!"

"Yesterday I went to Hakurei Shrine to give money, but Reimu stopped me."

The answer is obvious: everyone knows Reimu loves money, and you just said that she would even take money from outside sources.

But she stopped her; there was only one answer left!

"So she already knew the donation box couldn't be filled with money, and she stopped me to prevent me from finding out!"

Leng Chang looked at Yakumo Yukari with a sharp gaze and stated his deduction.

"Reimu? How is that possible!? Wait... was Reimu among those who attacked you earlier?"

Yukari Yakumo had been affected before, so she had forgotten what happened that night.

"That's right, it was Reimu and Marisa who suddenly attacked!"

Choke! Choke! Thud!

Yakumo Yukari's pupils contracted, and she collapsed to the ground in disbelief, her expression filled with disbelief.

"This... how is this possible... there must be some reason! Reimu isn't the kind of person... capable of destroying Gensokyo."

She gritted her teeth, refusing to believe that Reimu could be that kind of person, and there was no reason why.

Rei glanced at Yukari Yakumo and said calmly, "Perhaps Reimu is protecting Gensokyo, and we are the ones who are destroying it."

.............

Yukari Yakumo pursed her lips with difficulty, remaining silent, her brows furrowed in sorrow. If that were truly the case... that would be the most tragic thing.

They're already using such a tragic method to save Gensokyo.

"Let's not delay! Let's go!"

............

Hakurei Shrine.

Reimu stood blankly in the open space, sweeping fallen leaves like a robot, just as she had done before.

A flicker of pain crossed her face, and her hands gripping the broom tightened involuntarily, her knuckles turning white from the strain.

"Zi, I can't hold on much longer."

Her voice was sad, soft, and weary.

Just then, a black crow spread its wings and cawed loudly from the torii gate.

"Gah—! Gah—! Gah—!"

The figures of Leng Chang and Yakumo Yukari were reflected in the crow's dark pupils. Reimu, who was sweeping the floor, looked up at the crow and her expression turned serious.

Chapter 222 Wait! Oh no! It's going to be a disaster!

"You noticed it so quickly?"

Reimu stared at the stairs below the torii gate, the broom slipping from her hand and falling to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. She vanished in an instant as a gentle breeze blew by.

The next second, Yakumo Yukari and Leng Chang arrived at the open space. Looking at the empty space and the broom lying on the ground, they did not notice anything strange.

Leng Chang walked a few steps to the money box, took out a 10,000 yen note and put it in as before.

Boom!

A red, incorrect banner blocked the entrance for stuffing money.

Error: This function is temporarily unavailable. Error number: 404.

Leng Chang wasn't too surprised by this situation; he just felt a strange sense of familiarity, a kind of beauty reminiscent of a computer blue screen.

Seeing this, Yukari Yakumo's pupils trembled with unease, gradually turning into sadness, her lips pursed and her voice choked with sobs.
