The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

The tables are simply arranged for fortune-telling, which seems to be a booth for divination.

Frowning, Reimu ignored him, but walked directly in front of him, only to hear a voice as drowsy as the sky covered with dark clouds.

"Do you seem to be troubled?" The man wore small round glasses, lowered his head, and his nose bridge was longer than ordinary people, looking very sinister.

This is a guy who will definitely not be liked at first glance, and it is even easy to suspect that the other party is not a good person.

He took the initiative to talk to Reimu, Yu Li, Reimu should at least respond a little bit, even if it was "stop meddling in other people's business", unfortunately Hakurei Miko never cared about other people's opinions.

So she ignored the weird man and continued to move forward.

But the man didn't give up, he spoke again, this time with a louder voice, as if he was determined to stop the witch's footsteps: "Are you looking for something? Something...or, who is it?"

"..."

Reimu's footsteps stopped, she turned her head, and warned the man in a very unfriendly tone: "It has nothing to do with you."

"Please don't get me wrong," the man raised his hand, trying to put on a friendly expression, and said sincerely, "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary human being, and I was misunderstood by people just because I looked a little vicious. , but don't worry, I have no malicious intentions."

Reimu looked at the other party with scrutiny, but didn't speak.

"Who are you looking for?" The man seemed to be very good at reading people's hearts, he saw the cause of Reimu's anxiety, and gave a solution: "I am very good at divination, do you need my help? "

This man couldn't believe it - Reimu's intuition told her so.

After a brief hesitation, Lingmeng resolutely rejected the man's kindness: "...don't worry about it."

To Reimu's cold response, the man didn't feel complacent, but still kept smiling, and said patiently: "That's it, but if you need my help, please feel free to come to me."

Reimu snorted, and strode away from Renzhi, she always felt that that annoying gaze had been falling on her back, and the reflective round lenses brought a bit of gloomy mystery to the man.

After returning to the shrine, it was another sleepless night.

Reimu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. All day long, she got disappointing answers. No one remembered Takeya Kosaka, no matter whether it was friends or enemies, they never remembered him.

From the Hakurei Shrine to the People's Village, from the Youkai Mountain to the Lake of Mist, all traces of his existence have been erased.

Reimu stuffed herself under the quilt, and in the darkness, she seemed to be able to feel a different thought in her heart teasing her.

She turned over and lifted off the quilt, left the shrine with a sullen face, and suppressed her inner struggle and walked along the road to Renzhili. The street was quiet at night, and there was no one there.

She followed the route in her memory and walked to the corner of the street. Under the moonlight, the man seemed to have been waiting, and reflected her own shadow in the small pair of round glasses.

"Good evening, Boli's Miko, is there anything I can do for you?" The man's smile didn't change, it was still so full of evil, and the way of greeting was exactly the same as in the daytime.

Lingmeng didn't bother about why he didn't close the stall at night, and cut to the point: "You said you are very good at divination, right?"

"That's right. Divination is my means of earning a living. I'm sure I won't disappoint you." The man responded humbly.

"Well, I want you to help me find someone." Now that everyone has come, Reimu naturally won't be shy, and she directly stated her reason for coming.

"So that's the case. Dare I ask, which one is it?"

Reimu narrowed her eyes, stared at the man for a long time before saying, "It's a human being named... Takeya Kosaka."

Chapter 3 Clues of the Undead

Speaking of it, Lingmeng was actually not very sure about his own way of blindly killing a mouse, but he had no choice but to choose such a barely feasible path.

The man who claimed to be a fortune-teller was called Yi Zhe, and he was a resident of the decent people, but as he himself said, because of his "evil" appearance, he was not very popular with the people here.

The result of the divination is obviously a failure. It is not because of the lack of ability of the Yizhe, but because of the non-existent person, no matter how much divination is done, it is impossible to have an answer.

Reimu was very disappointed, but fortunately she didn't expect much from the beginning.

However, although Yi Zhe's divination was fruitless, this move brought many unexpected gains to Reimu.

Especially after she told Yi Zhe something about Wu Ye, and the "mutation" that happened now that no one but her could remember Wu Ye's existence.

Yi Zhe did not directly think that Reimu had overslept or some other problem like others, he calmly analyzed Reimu from a realistic point of view.

"Memory... Although my qualifications are still young, and I am not very knowledgeable in front of you monsters, I think it is too arbitrary to simply attribute everything to the 'fantasy' produced by you, Miko. "

Listening to Yi Zhe's words, Reimu nodded silently. Although this guy was not very attractive, he could indeed speak.

"Assuming, just assuming—"

After reassuring Reimu a little and expressing his position, Changer began to cut to the chase: "We assume that the character 'Takeya Kosaka' exists, or at least existed, but disappeared in other people's lives for some reason. In memory, in this way, the target to be investigated is very clear."

"What is it?" Reimu asked impatiently.

"spirit."

The summary of this word is the answer given by Yi Zhe. Facing the puzzled Reimu, he patiently explained: "We assume that 'Takeya Kosaka' exists, but if his traces have been completely removed from this If he is erased from the world, no one will remember him."

Lingmeng frowned, dissatisfied: "But I remember."

"That's right," Yi Zhe nodded to Reimu, and continued: "Since you still remember his existence, Miko, it means that his traces in this world have not been completely erased, so Since you can remember it, there are others who can remember it too."

"...Continue talking."

"Master Miko, you need to know that the so-called memory is actually an extremely ambiguous thing. The forgotten part does not mean that it will disappear directly. It may just be disturbed by external forces, making it stay in an undetectable Corners or simply hidden."

Looking at Reimu who was getting engrossed in listening, the corner of Yi Zhe's mouth showed an imperceptible arc: "If that person really existed, even if everyone's memory may be manipulated, there must be exceptions, such as You, for example—some individual who has a vague concept of memory from the beginning."

"You mean, Ling?" Lingmeng's eyes lit up: "Undead?"
