The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

In his line of sight, a stunningly beautiful and aloof woman had appeared there without him even noticing.

Shi Bai recognized the other person; he had met them once before, a long time ago.

The highest authority in the Moon Capital—Tsukiyomi.

P.S.: Suddenly I had an extra burst of inspiration, I'm going to dual-client!!!

Chapter Seven: The Infinite Madness of Nested Dolls

Moonlit Night, the supreme ruler of the Moon Capital.

The invasion war waged by the Lunar Capital against the other world nearly 1000 years ago was initiated by Tsukiyomi.

Long ago, when Tsukiyomi came to invite Yagokoro Eirin, Tokihaku had met her once, but at that time she was very humble, unlike now, where she exudes an invisible aura of intimidation just by standing there.

When Tsukiyomi appeared, everything around her instantly became extremely quiet. The chirping of the unknown insects in the grass disappeared without a trace, and an extremely dangerous aura filled the air.

Upon sensing the invisible pressure emanating from the air, Futani Mamizo's face instantly turned pale, and an extreme sense of danger crept over her entire body in an instant!

How...how is it possible...

Futani Mamizo opened his mouth in alarm, wanting to speak, but found himself unable to even make that tiny movement. He seemed to freeze in place before the woman who had suddenly appeared there.

This was the first time she had ever experienced such intense and suffocating pressure, to the point that she couldn't even regulate her breathing... How could she possibly fight against the opponent under such immense pressure?

The other person didn't do anything at all; they were just standing there!

Suddenly, a feeling of despair welled up in Niiwa Makizo's heart.

She suddenly understood how those destroyed monster groups had been wiped out.

In front of the other person, I am nothing!

However, compared to her, perhaps because of someone, the weakest, Tarayoko, is much stronger, but she has completely hidden behind that person and refuses to show herself.

"Hey, hey, hey, a max-level player comes to the newbie village to bully newbies. Don't you think this kind of behavior is despicable?"

Turning around to look at the uninvited Yueyejian, Shi Bai's words clearly carried a hint of displeasure.

"Isn't it unnecessary to unleash Conqueror's Haki right off the bat? Can I take this as a provocation?"

Almost the instant Shi Bai finished speaking, Niiwa Mamizo felt a sense of relief wash over him, and the overwhelming pressure that had been emanating from him vanished in an instant.

"Just take this as a provocation. I have something to ask you."

Stopping in her tracks, Yueye spoke coldly.

Where is Eirin Yagokoro?

"On Earth!!"

"........."

"Look, I've already answered your question. I was very sincere. If there's nothing else, please leave."

Rolling his eyes, as if shooing away a fly, Shi Bai waved his hand dismissively.

"If it weren't for your sister's sake, I wouldn't bother talking to you all this time. You've had enough."

"...Where is my sister?"

After a brief silence, Tsukiyomi's tone suddenly became even colder.

“Answer these two questions and I may forgive your disrespect.”

"After all these years, is this all the growth and progress you've made? No wonder Eirin was disappointed with the Lunar Capital and chose to leave. It really is true that each generation is worse than the last."

With a slight frown, Shi Bai glanced at Yue Yejian in front of him and shook his head in disappointment.

"I promised Eirin I wouldn't get involved in your Lunar Capital's affairs, so I can give you another chance, sooner rather than later..."

"Noisy!!"

His expression suddenly turned cold, and Yueyejian raised his hand.

As a gentle breeze swept by, the three people in front of the bluestone table were instantly turned into a cloud of sand before they could even react.

"So weak... I gave you a chance."

With a slight frown, after confirming that the three people in front of him had been killed with a casual strike, Tsukiyo turned to leave.

Just as this thought arose in her mind, a doll with bare breasts and a red gourd on its head suddenly jumped out from the woods nearby.

"Fairy! Give me back my grandfather!!"

"........."

...A monster from the neighborhood?

As this thought flashed through her mind, without even offering a reply, Tsukiyo completely wiped out this audacious and strange monster.

However, before she could take two steps, another doll that looked exactly like the strange monster from before, except that its clothes and the gourd on its head were different colors, jumped out.

"You demon! Give me back my grandfather and my older brother!!"

"........."

...The twin brother of that gourd monster from before?

"You demon! Give me back my grandfather, my eldest brother, and my second eldest brother!!"

"........."

...triplets are also very common.

"You demon! Give me back my grandfather, my eldest brother, my second brother, and my third brother!!"

"........."

After killing seven Calabash Brothers in a row, Tsukiyo finally realized something was wrong. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, the environment in front of her suddenly changed.

Tsukiyo found herself still in the same spot, with someone sitting at a bluestone table in front of her, looking at her in shock.

"You actually managed to escape from the Calabash Brothers illusion I created! That's truly terrifying!!"

"........."

Yueye saw that the expression on his face had become even colder.

Three minutes later.

"Hey! You little devil, where do you think you're going?!"

Looking at the monk with hairy eyes, a thunder god's mouth, and a stick that jumped out in front of him, Yueyejian remained expressionless.

"You actually managed to escape from the Monkey King illusion I created! That's truly terrifying!!"

"........."

"Hello everyone, I'm an individual trainee with two and a half years of training experience. I'm good at singing, dancing, and rapping..."

Looking at the basketball that jumped out of the roadside bushes in front of him, Tsukiyo remained expressionless.

"You actually managed to break free from the Basketball King Illusion I created! That's truly terrifying!!"

"........."

"Golden Fertilizer! Golden Fertilizer!! Ours!!"

"........."

"It smells so good!!"

"........."

"Brother Jie, no!!"

"........."

"Ah♂, stand still well♂!"

"........."

Tsukiyo's mentality finally collapsed.

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

After experiencing countless meaningless transitional scenes, she finally woke up in a carriage that was moving smoothly on the road.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a blue-haired loli with heterochromatic eyes curiously poking her face with a blade of grass in her hand.

Upon seeing that she had woken up, the other person paused for a moment, then dropped the blade of grass in his hand, turned around, and started shouting loudly at the outside of the carriage.

"Shi Bai, she's finally awake!!"

Tsukiyo: "..."

...She suddenly suspected that she might still be in that illusion that had lasted for who knows how long.

"How about it? My [Infinite Meme-Making Technique], which I've poured my entire life's energy and endless effort into, combining hundreds of meme-worthy materials into one, with each one capable of standing alone, is quite impressive, isn't it?"

Three minutes later, inside the carriage, Shi Bai, holding a notebook and a pen, proudly pushed up the black-rimmed glasses he had specially put on his nose.

"This technique was originally an improved and evolved version of the Tsukuyomi technique that I learned from Madara Uchiha. This is the first time I've used it in all this time. Could you summarize your experience using it in detail? For example, the advantages and disadvantages, so that I can make further improvements."

"...You sealed my power."

After a moment of silence, Tsukiyo turned her head.

"You must have had countless opportunities to kill me before, right? What do you want to do to me by keeping me here?"

"Hey, hey, hey, please clarify your position first. I've already given you several chances before, but you didn't seize them. How can you blame me for this?"

Shi Bai twirled the pen in his hand and rolled his eyes at the face, utterly speechless.

"Don't talk like a victim. Are you feeling wronged? You were the one who foolishly came to my door and even dared to attack me without knowing your own limitations... You're lucky it's happening now. If it were before, you would have been dead long ago, and I would have devoured your soul, okay?"

"So what do you want to do?"

Looking up at the other person, Tsukiyo's face was completely expressionless.

"Since you don't want to kill me, but have sealed all my power, you obviously want to get something from me, right? Don't worry, I won't resist, you don't need to be so careful."

"If you're not going to resist, then hurry up!?"

Shi Bai spread out his notebook on the small desk in the carriage and urged the other person to hurry up.

"Hurry up and tell me about your experience with the [Infinite Cruelty Matryoshka Technique]. I was originally planning to find other test subjects, but you just happened to run into it... Tell me, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this technique? What are your thoughts and suggestions? What improvements can be made? Don't be afraid, speak boldly!!"

"...Will you let me leave if I tell you?"

"In your dreams."

"........."

"This is kidnapping. Do you even know what kidnapping is? Right now, you're a hostage in my hands. As long as you're here, those guys in the Lunar Capital won't bother me. Otherwise, who can stand it if this happens every few days?"

Shi Bai unscrewed the pen cap and let out a soft hum.

"Who knows if letting you go back is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains? Maybe you'll think about taking revenge secretly later. I'm not good at solving problems, but I'm good at dealing with the people who raise these problems."

"...I have witnessed your strength, and I assure you that I will never bother you again."

"Oh, I don't believe it."

"........."

“Yonglin is my precious student. Because you lied to her before, she specifically told me not to trust you.”

"So you plan to keep me by your side forever?"

"We'll see. Anyway, you're my hostage now... Hurry up, stop changing the subject, tell me how you feel. I'm busy improving this technique."

"........."

Soon, Tsukiyomi accepted her new identity as a "hostage," since she had no choice but to accept it.

Despite being a hostage, she wasn't subjected to any restrictions. On the resumed journey, she had plenty of opportunities to escape by driving the carriage alone while they slept.

However, given that all of her power had been sealed away by the other party using unknown methods, and considering the overall trend of the current environment, Tsukiyo ultimately gave up that tempting idea in her heart.

Leaving is definitely an option, but only if she can temporarily break through a portion of the seal and gain the ability to protect herself.

Thus, Shiro's solo search team for Kazami Yuuka, after adding the adorable and innocent tsukumogami Tarara Kogasa, also gained another member, Tsukiyomi, who is always cold-faced and silent.
