1028

That year, there was no Gensokyo, and that year, they were still young

era, this is a very popular word, but also a profound word,

Of course, there is another era, and that is the near-future era in which Gensokyo is located today.

Speaking of Gensokyo, in fact, there was no one at first, and before it was isolated from the human world, people called it "the border place far from the world in the eastern country". Because there are many youkai living in this place, those who accidentally enter this place will be caught and eaten by youkai, so people are afraid of this place, and ordinary people dare not approach it at all.

Of course, there are also some people who live in Gensokyo in order to get rid of youkai, such as shrine maidens.

Then, as time passed, the number of humans increased dramatically due to the development of civilization, and the sage of the yokai believed that if the number of humans continued to increase, the balance of Gensokyo would collapse, so he established the "realm of fantasy and reality" and attracted youkai from the outside world to Gensokyo, so as to achieve balance.

However, because most of the youkai have moved into Gensokyo, there are very few youkai who survive in human society, and they have been in seclusion for a long time, coupled with the realm of fantasy and reality, this kind of connection directly leads to ...... With the progress of scientific and technological civilization, human beings have developed towards the material aspect in a very extreme way, and gradually began to have doubts about spiritual civilization, and then added non-scientific things like superstition to exclude, and over time, people no longer believe in the existence of demons and monsters, of course, there are gods, and other book friends are reading:

Whether they are youkai or gods, they are very powerful and can do many things that humans can't, but they have to rely on humans to survive in human society because they have the same thing...... The faith of humanity is needed!

The difference is that the belief of the gods is the respect of humans, while the belief of the yokai is the fear of humans, but in order for them to obtain this faith, they must have a prerequisite - belief!

People believe in the existence of gods and revere them, and people believe in the existence of yokai and feel fear, but if people don't believe in their existence, then what other feelings can they have?

Take ghosts as an example, the meaning of their existence is to go to human society to loot and destroy, if people are afraid of them, they will be happy to do it, but if people do not believe in their existence and are not afraid of them, then they will be unhappy and become lazy.

There are also gods, and without the faith of humans, they will not only weaken in power, but even disappear from existence...... Countless abandoned shrines are the best proof of this.

And in such a society, where are the monsters and gods still alive.

So, under the guidance of the yokai sage, the remaining yokai also began to go to Gensokyo, because there are still humans there who believe in the existence of yokai, and the gods are only revealed in Gensokyo, because only there can they gain the faith of humans.

Then, the Yokai Great Sage in Gensokyo and the Human Shrine Maiden established a powerful barrier to completely isolate Gensokyo from the outside world, allowing most of the Yokai and a few humans to live there quietly, and from then on, human society will never hear about Gensokyo again.

This is the first cooperation between youkai and humans, because they all know that the balance of Gensokyo is necessary, and the yokai must rely on cannibalism to achieve the balance of the yokai, and the human race must rely on the retreat of the yokai to achieve the balance of the human race, as long as this is the case, the Yokai and humans in Gensokyo can survive forever...... And with the passage of time, Gensokyo no longer has a situation where youkai often prey on humans, and some youkai even have friendly communication with humans.

Of course, some yokai still eat people, and humans will also periodically treat youkai.

The above is the history of the development of Gensokyo, which can be called the Gensokyo era, so ...... Before Gensokyo was developed, when there were not even monster sages, what era should it be called?

If anything, it has to go back to a long, long time ago, the dominant person in society is not human, but is entrenched by a large number of demons and monsters, that is...... The Age of Demon Flurry!

When Qiqi was fighting against Reverse Cause and Effect, although she had done some tricks and feet before the battle, and it would not endanger the safety of the whole world, because of her unreserved fighting, the aftermath still caused great damage to the space she was in...... Countless spatial rifts, dimensional fluctuations, and space-time gaps were born.

Then Qiqi fell, and his body turned into Mars to form the Book of Contracts, and then entered a time gap path, and the end point of this time gap path was the era of the group of demons.

……

In a quiet dense forest, there is a fire rising in the meadow, on which rabbits are barbecued, and next to the fire sit two girls, they look only about ** years old, wearing simple cloth clothes, one has beautiful long blond hair, the other is a light green short hair, although the outfit looks rustic, as if they are still living a very miserable life, but they can't hide their natural beauty.

After a while, when the rabbit meat on the fire rack smelled fragrant, the green-haired girl cheered, and despite the fact that the fire was still burning, she reached out and grabbed the roasted rabbit.

"Be careful, there's fire." The blonde girl hurriedly reminded.

"What's the matter, this little fire can't hurt me anyway." The green-haired girl said a word nonchalantly, but finally withdrew her hand and put out the fire first, and then went to pull out the thigh of the roast rabbit,

"Well, it's delicious." The green-haired girl took a bite impatiently and exclaimed, but then she didn't know what she remembered, frowned, and said a little angrily, "Those guys actually said that I was a herbivore, it's really hateful, I can obviously eat meat!" ”

The blonde girl chuckled and said, "That's not what they mean by herbivores. ”

"Whatever they mean, literally, aren't herbivores grass-eating? This bunch of idiots with diminishing IQs, how could I possibly go and eat grass! The green-haired girl said disdainfully.

The blonde girl smiled again, "You're still angry about this, it's been so long?" ”

"I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed, you know, those guys claim to be geniuses, and they always look like they're arrogant to others, two hundred and five!" The green-haired girl said hatefully.

The blonde girl sighed helplessly, "You're just angry." ”

The green-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand vigorously, "Forget it, don't mention this, anyway, it's a group of defeated men, it's not worth my anger, let's talk about something happy." ”

The blonde girl asked, "What's the happy thing?" ”

The green-haired girl replied as a matter of course, "You can say whatever you think is happy, do you still need to ask?" ”

The blonde girl tilted her head and thought for a while, and after a moment, she asked cautiously, "I had a dream last night, and I was very happy with beautiful clothes that I couldn't wear, does this count?" ”

The green-haired girl pinched her chin and smashed her mouth, "It's okay, but why do I think this is completely meaningless?" Also, you really like beautiful clothes, you dream of it. ”

"Of course, don't you think pretty clothes look good?" As soon as she said this, the blonde girl suddenly became excited.

However, the green-haired girl was quite disdainful of this, and said without looking over, "Cut, forget it, we are not those shameless human women, what's the use of dressing so beautifully?" ”

"But don't you know that beautiful clothes are a girl's romance?" The blonde girl asked rhetorically, and the other book friends were reading:

"Who are you listening to when you say that?"

"I heard it in my dreams."

“…… You're really good at dreaming. The corners of the green-haired girl's mouth twitched slightly, and then she said, "But I don't like romance or anything, if I really want to say it, I prefer those handsome clothes." ”

"Handsome clothes?" The blonde girl was stunned.

"Hmm...... Well?! The green-haired girl nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly her face changed, and she jumped up from the ground, and then pulled the blonde girl up and ran towards the big tree next to her, hiding in the lush branches.

"What's going on?" Although the blonde girl was a little confused, the two had been together for a long time after all, and knew that she probably felt something, so she hurriedly asked in a low voice.

The green-haired girl said in a deep voice, "Just now I felt a powerful demonic aura approaching, it should be that there are other monsters coming towards us...... Leave nothing else at that, let's block out our breath for the time being. ”

"Hmm." The blonde girl responded, then closed her eyes and activated her ability, and suddenly, the breath of the two disappeared completely, and then they hid in the tree and held their breath, motionless.

Rustle!

All that was left of the woods was the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves.

After about five or six minutes, suddenly, a footstep sounded not far away, and this sound suddenly startled the two girls hiding in the tree.

"Xiao Zi, do you feel it?" The green-haired girl asked the girl next to her as low as she could, a hint of panic and uneasiness flashed in her eyes,

Similarly, the blonde girl known as Xiao Zi also had a hint of fear on her face, and said in a low voice: "I feel it, it's so strong, I'm afraid the two of us can't beat this monster together." ”

"Not only is it strong, but his demonic aura is also full of violence, be careful, strengthen concealment, and try not to let him find out." The green-haired girl reminded.

Xiao Zi nodded, but in her heart, she was thinking, what race is the monster with this violent aura?

The question was quickly answered, and as the footsteps drew closer, looking down through the gaps in the leaves, they finally saw the appearance of the comer...... It was a huge figure more than two meters tall, with a human body and a wolf's head around its neck.

Oops, it's a werewolf!

Seeing each other's appearance, the two girls' faces suddenly changed, and they looked at each other at the same time, and found that the other party was also full of fear like themselves.

It is well known that there are many races of monsters, the most powerful of which are the ghost clan and the vampire clan, the former is the king of melee combat, they are infinitely powerful, and they have the power to move mountains and seas with their gestures, and there are almost no monsters that can match the ghost clan in melee combat. The latter is the king of the night, as long as he is in the night, the power of the vampire will be greatly enhanced, and he even has an immortal body, even if it is a ghost clan, he will not easily fight with the vampire at night.

However, although these two types of monsters are the most powerful, they are not the most terrifying, because vampires generally rarely haunt, and they are extremely ceremonial, they are nobles among monsters, and under normal circumstances, they will not bully the weak. And the ghost clan is very fond of drinking, in case you accidentally encounter it, and the two sides do not have a feud, as long as you invite each other to drink, the ghost clan will be very generous to make friends with you.

So for these two races, all the youkai are in awe, but they are not afraid of it...... Provided you don't go against these two races.

And then there's the third-ranked monster race, the werewolves, which are the most terrifying.

Because they are not only powerful, they are the only existence that can fight against the ghosts in melee combat, but also like vampires, they will increase their strength at night, and the most terrifying thing is ...... They are not as easy to associate with ghosts and vampires, they are brutal and bloodthirsty by nature, and once they come into contact with the monsters of other races, as long as the other party is not particularly strong, they will rush up to fight 100%.

And werewolves especially like to bully the weak.

The only youkai that werewolves dare not provoke are vampires and ghosts, because vampires have the power to restrain them, and the ghosts are not only strong individually, but also extremely united...... If you mess with a ghost, you're tantamount to messing with the entire ghost clan.

However, with the exception of these two races, werewolves dare to fight no matter what kind of youkai, and with their brutal methods, they are feared by almost all youkai except for the oni and vampires.

Generally speaking, when a weak youkai encounters a werewolf, there is almost only one way to die.

"I actually met a werewolf, this race is too terrifying, Xiao Zi, we must not relax, we must not let it discover our existence, otherwise we will die!" Before the werewolf could get closer, the green-haired girl whispered a warning.

"I understand, Yuxiang." Xiao Zi nodded heavily, in fact, without the other party saying it, he had already used the shielding ability to the limit, after all, the werewolf was a monster that they would never be able to compete with now.

A moment later, the werewolf had already walked under the tree where they were hiding, and looked at the still smoking fire and the steaming roast rabbit, the werewolf's eyes lit up, and then he jerked his head up.

Although the lush branches and foliage completely blocked their figures, and although Xiao Zi's ability completely blocked their breath, this glance still frightened them and almost fell from the tree.
