Fighting you is like being in jail.

Embarrassed to the extreme, Kaname Madoka let out a loud shout, clenched her fist, and unleashed a punch at Leng Chang with the power of her perfect magnetic field.

"This is so embarrassing! How am I going to explain this?!"

"Ok?"

Holding his bowl and chopsticks, waiting for the sukiyaki to cool, Chang looked up in a daze, and then felt a blur before his eyes as he was punched and sent flying at an incredible speed. Then, in a daze, he found himself unharmed, sitting on the road outside the villa along with a stool.

"what happened?"

He uttered a question from the depths of his soul, not even knowing what he was supposed to do.

......

Yukari Yakumo and Reimu left the villa and walked on the sidewalk. At this moment, Yukari Yakumo looked exhausted and full of guilt, as if she could no longer breathe.

Although Reimu, who was supporting her, did not know about her relationship with Madoka Kaname and the others, she could see that her guilt and self-blame were immense.

So much has happened during the time I've been away from Gensokyo.

The whistling of passing vehicles filled the air, while the murmurs of passersby added to the lively atmosphere.

However, this atmosphere seemed to isolate them, and they couldn't feel any liveliness at all.

Just then, Kitahara Iori, Sato Kazuma, and Hikigaya passed by carrying a large pile of sake and happened to run into Yakumo Yukari and Reimu.

"Huh? Eighth Brother? Are you the Eighth Brother?"

"Eighth Brother? Where is he?"

Isn't that right?

The three noticed that Yukari Yakumo and Reimu seemed surprised, so they immediately walked upstairs with their things, all smiles.

"Hey! Eighth Brother, what brings you back? Where's Leng Chang?"

Bang! Bang! Boom!

The name Leng Chang pierced Yakumo Yukari's heart like a sharp thorn. Trembling, she looked up and, upon seeing Kitahara Iori and the other two, couldn't hold back her tears and knelt down, crying out:

"I'm sorry... I didn't bring Leng Chang back... Leng Chang sacrificed himself to save Gensokyo..."

"?"

"what?"

"What!? How could this be!?"

Kitahara Iori and Sato Kazuma were stunned, squinting like cats looking at their phones, while Hachiman was shocked and surprised, filled with disbelief.

Although I don't know what happened, is it really okay to say something as abstract as Leng Chang dying?

That thing is extremely rare, the only god, the principle of the circle!

Is your Gensokyo really that powerful? It can even defeat a single god?

Leng Changzhen is dead, I'm going to livestream Chishi!

etc! Something's wrong!

Kitahara Iori and Sato Kazuma knew Leng Chang best; he was a reliable but troublesome friend, an ace in the hole. They immediately understood everything, their eyes flashing as they locked gazes.

understood!

You're not inviting us when there's something fun going on, are you?

In an instant, the two gradually understood everything, and their gazes toward the weeping Yakumo Yukari became sharp.

Kazuma Sato took a deep breath, wiping away imaginary tears with a mixture of melancholy and sorrow, and said comfortingly:

"Eighth Brother, don't worry about it. Leng Chang said a long time ago that we would eventually sacrifice ourselves on the road to salvation, after all, we are an organization that saves the world."

“Yes, Eighth Brother. I was prepared for this ending when I joined the organization.” Kitahara Iori sighed deeply, squatting down to pat Yakumo Yukari’s shoulder earnestly.

"Compared to all this, it's great that your world can be saved. If Leng Chang can't save it, then I'll be next. After all, I'm the oldest senior."

He flashed a spirited smile, brimming with pride.

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo trembled and slowly looked up. She felt that everyone was filled with holiness at this moment, as if they were saints.

Even Hachiman, who was still shocked by Leng Chang's death, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of mission!

"Sorry……"

“There’s nothing to apologize for. I believe Leng Chang’s final decision will not be wrong.” Sato Kazuma nodded firmly, full of resolve.

Instantly, the image of Leng Chang's last moment flashed into Yakumo Yukari's mind.

"It's simple, I'll go."

That one sentence flashed through his mind, and his will and his awareness were all contained in that one sentence.

At this moment, Kitahara Iori looked at Yakumo Yukari with a sigh, her eyes filled with sympathy, and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Ok.

In the secluded villa, where no one could disturb her, Yukari Yakumo recounted the entire story of Gensokyo from beginning to end.

Upon learning the situation, Kitahara Iori and Sato Kazuma nodded solemnly, their lips pursed as they forced a serious expression. They exchanged glances, both seeing amusement in each other's eyes.

Hachiman, who hadn't yet seen through everything, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with sadness and emotion.

"Perhaps this is everything Leng Chang wanted to protect... I can sense that Leng Chang has absolutely no regrets about what he did. It's just... sigh..."

He sighed with emotion, recalling every little detail of Leng Chang's life. It felt like just yesterday, but now they were separated by death.

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault."

Yukari Yakumo curled up on the sofa, burying her head in her knees in guilt, completely withdrawn.

"You did nothing wrong, and we won't blame you for anything. This was Leng Chang's dream too, and he's very happy!"

Kitahara Iori looked on with a solemn expression, her eyes filled with compassion. No one was at fault; the system was the one at fault.

Only time can erase the guilt and unease in my heart...

The premise is that the cold current has not emerged.

But speaking of which... where is Leng Chang now?

In the villa next door.

"I'm fucking eating, eating, eating!"

Leng Chang frantically scalded the meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with his mouth full of oil, completely forgetting about Lao Ba. Nothing could stop his enthusiasm for eating now.

However, Madoka Kaname, sitting opposite, couldn't hold back any longer and shouted in utter embarrassment:

"What are we going to do?! All you do is eat! Don't you even think about how to solve this problem?"

"Huh? What happened?"

Homura Akemi, who was eating mushrooms, looked at Madoka Kaname with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Xiao Yan, let me tell you! That guy Leng Chang..."

Barabara...

Madoka Kaname recounted what happened in Gensokyo. Homura Akemi, upon learning the details, blinked in bewilderment and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"No? This? Uh..."

Homura Akemi suddenly felt her brain stop functioning, but she couldn't imagine how to end this situation.

What's most absurd is that Leng Chang still has the appetite to eat.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she said with a look of disappointment and frustration:

"You still have the appetite to eat? Aren't you going to explain?"

"I'll reappear after Lao Ba apologizes and deliver a fatal blow!"

“…”

Click!

Homura Akemi was so angry at this that she snapped her chopsticks in half, and her eyebrows twitched and trembled.

How much do you hate Lao Ba... that you still want to deliver a fatal blow?

But it doesn't matter!

Leng Chang then said seriously, "The issue with Lao Ba can be postponed. The biggest problem right now is that the situation in Gensokyo is not good."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Homura Akemi asked, her expression turning serious.

Kaname Madoka, standing next to her, also cast a questioning look. "Is it bad?"

"It's incredibly bad, almost on the verge of collapse. Don't be fooled by how it seemed before; most of it was just fabricated by piecing together system data, otherwise there wouldn't be all these error messages."

"Can't it be fixed?"

"It can be repaired, after all, it's just Gensokyo. But the problem is that it's just Gensokyo. Gensokyo isn't a complete world; it's a companion world. The outside world on that side is gone."

We need to find a main world to accompany Gensokyo.

"I see."

"Isn't this easy to handle? This area is roughly the main world, so it'll be a breeze."

Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname understood the situation; this problem was indeed more urgent than the one facing Yukari Yakumo.

"So after we finish eating, let's move Gensokyo over here and make it a companion world to this place. That would be the perfect situation."

"Eat up, eat up!"

Upon hearing this, Madoka Kaname quickly prepared the rice and dishes.

Chapter 224 Kitahara Iori: ?????????????????????????????????

After dinner, Leng Chang and Kaname Madoka went straight to Gensokyo to check on the situation. Homura Akemi couldn't help and could only leave depending on the situation, but she planned to go find Yukari Yakumo to explain things.

The underground torii gate of Gensokyo Shrine.

Madoka Kaname's eyes shone with golden light, and pink magic power spread from her legs to the sea of ​​data beneath her feet. Accompanied by the torrent of data, she was like a powerful mainframe monitoring the entire Gensokyo.

However, the furrowed brows indicated that the situation was not so simple.

"There is the heavens, the underworld, hell, the outside world, and a whole bunch of other things that have all been shattered. Only Gensokyo itself, supported by the system, maintains a false sense of intactness."

"It looks fine, but the inside is completely rotten."

"This project is quite large, Leng Chang, give me your strength. That will speed things up a lot."

Her golden eyes held a flow of data code, devoid of any brilliance.

Upon hearing this, Leng Chang walked to Madoka Kaname's side, raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, feeling the power of the Law of Circles flowing through her delicate shoulder.

Boom boom boom...

The entire underground space began to tremble, and the two forces of the Law of the Rings converged and began to repair Gensokyo at a visible speed. All beings that had a causal connection with Gensokyo began to reappear at this moment.

......

The underworld, the Jade Palace.

After the building was reconstructed by the pink light, the once empty ground suddenly opened up. The girl in the blue kimono with short pink hair narrowed her eyes and looked around in panic.

After confirming that the surrounding buildings were being restored, she opened the folding fan in her hand and smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said:

"I knew Zi could do it."

"Master Youyouzi!"

Another girl's voice rang out from afar, followed by a girl with short white hair, wearing a green dress and carrying two swords, running up nervously.

"Oh my, it's Youmu. Looks like we won."

hell.

On the other side, lies the hall of right and wrong.

Shiki Eiki sat on a heavy wooden chair, with a heavy black wooden table in front of her.

Her lifeless, deep blue eyes gradually cleared under the magic of the Law of Cycles. As her pupils trembled, she relaxed and leaned back in her chair, slowly exhaling.

"Did they win? I have to admit, that guy... is really capable."
