Chapter 45: Inner Darkness? Isn't That Just Blackening?

  Ah! What a great weather, Ah Ma went out to exorcise monsters and hasn't returned, Zhen Yi carried the computer out of the house, found two little Lolis playing, and one purple mom lying on the ground selling Meng...

  Chen Yitian quietly opened the camera function, taking unlimited continuous shots... This is a dark history, must be recorded!

  Then Zǐ Mā in selling cute discovered that she had previously put the computer in a safe place, and afterwards Chén Yì quietly withdrew back into the house...

  It seems like I just overheard something that shouldn't be heard, is it about the curry (purple)? In Chinese, "purple = curry" sounds plausible...

  "Hey! Xiao Chenyue, I heard that!" A head popped out from Chenyue's chest, "I can get angry, you know!"

  "......Alright, I was wrong." Looking at the head in front of his chest, Chen Yi immediately apologized. It seems that "Curry" is a dark history for Yatsume's name, right? Maybe next time when Yatsume is not paying attention, he can spread it around?

  Yakumo Yukio emerged from Taro Ito's body bit by bit, just like Sadako. The scene was extremely bizarre. Speaking of Sadako, it's actually not easy being her. Think about it, many people today watch videos on their mobile phones or MP5 players. Now imagine a miniature Sadako struggling to crawl out of the phone screen...

  The timid ones directly threw away their mobile phones, in case they encountered a bold and perverted person who would catch them on the spot and raise them as pets...

  So, cough, got sidetracked.

  "Kokoro Ito, you're releasing that darkness again?" Hachigusa Tsurugi said while eating the thing Kokoro brought out without any courtesy. "Although it's faintly discernible, I still sensed a hint of residual darkness here."

  "Oh, this is just a small experiment, after all, I want to help Rumia but don't want her to eat me, so I had to think of another way." Chen Yi took off the glove on his right hand, revealing a completely blackened hand. "I tried to guide the darkness inside my body into my arm, but the inner darkness was like a stubborn sticker that refused to budge, it took a lot of effort to transfer less than one-tenth of it, and as a result, my hand turned out like this under the influence of the darkness."

  "Not a bad idea." Yakumo Yukari's fan tapped against her mouth, "Too bad you're not a girl, or else I could have found someone to help you. After all, your methods are quite similar to that person's."

  Yatsumi said who, Chen Yiyu naturally knew, Ah Ma, that is the person who directly uses his own inner darkness to enhance his combat power, of course, it's not just Ah Ma who uses her inner darkness to strengthen herself.

  Using the darkness within to enhance combat strength, according to Chen Yi's explanation is another way of saying it - Blackening! Clear enough, Ah Ma is a successful example, as for failed examples please refer to "Sun in X Garden".

  At least now, Chen Yi felt that his completely black right hand was filled with power. His right fist clenched and with a burst of force, the area around his fist immediately emitted a creaking sound, as if space itself could not withstand this pressure.

  "To be honest, after transferring the darkness to my hand, I didn't expect it to be this intense." Chen Yi looked at the faintly distorted ripples around his fist and said to Bachiko Yatsu, "Unfortunately, I can't handle it. If not for my own abilities holding me back, I wouldn't know how many times I've gone crazy already."

  "It's still okay to say something now, but if this darkness grows to the limit that I can bear, it will really be over. So it's better to get rid of this time bomb early, which helps both others and oneself, why not?"

  It's just a broken arm, no big deal, it'll heal anyway.

  Yakumo Yuko took a swig of wine and downed it in one gulp, "Sigh... I'm starting to get curious about you again. It's really too bad that I couldn't obtain your memories back then. I really want to know what kind of monster you are..."

  Looking at the empty wine glasses scattered all over, and then at Yatsume's flushed face, Tatsuya didn't notice that he had been pouring out wine just now. Although it was only grape wine, drinking too much would still get someone drunk, not to mention that Tatsuya had also brought out black dragon tongue liquor...

  "Ah! Zi, you've had too much to drink...... mmm!" Ba Yunzi, with a drunken expression, hugged Chen Yi's neck, her entire body leaning against his.

  "Hmm... Chen Yi... let's establish a ritual together... Hmm... if you agree, I'll give Blue to you..."

  Hugging the drunk Yiyunzi who was lying on his body, Chenyi's heart wasn't itching for nothing. Looking at Yiyunzi who had fallen asleep after getting drunk, Chenyi couldn't tell whether she was really sleeping or just pretending to sleep. On one hand, he was enjoying the feeling of having a beauty in his arms; on the other hand, he didn't dare to take advantage of her, having lust but not daring to act on it...

  Bang!

  The door of Chen Yi's small house was pushed open by two small and one large figure. Two little loli stared at Chen Yi with shining eyes, who was holding Baiyunzi with a drunken expression. Roumiya also had a shocked face, her chin dropped...

  Ahh!

  In an instant, it turned pale, petrified and covered in cracks...

  "This is something kids can't watch!! And you guys doing this should also pay attention to the location!" With a dark face, Roumiya pulled one hand of a little loli who was unwilling to leave.

  Petrification in progress...

  What bad luck!!

  Typical of getting cheap and still selling cleverly...

  ——————————————————————————

  "Haha! The anomaly has been resolved, and the meal is also courtesy of Zi, what a delightful mood! Ah Ma, wearing an iron-blood mask, took a big gulp of wine from her cup (by the way, how can she drink with a mask on!!) "I didn't expect Chen Yi to have this kind of relationship with Zi! Haha! Come, Ling Meng, have some too..."

  Not afraid of teaching bad things to the little kid, Ah Ma held a large cup of wine and handed it over to Xiao Ling Meng's face, but was violently pushed aside by Roumiya who had always been in the role of 'mother'.

  On one side, Zimama was laughing shamelessly, seemingly not caring about what happened during the day at all. Chenyue, on the other hand, was sighing and complaining beside her. It's said that Zimama's drinking capacity isn't this bad, right? I always feel like she was intentionally schemed... otherwise, how could Xiaolingmeng and the others have appeared so timely...

  There's also what Ba Yunzi said to Chen Yi after waking up: I really suspect you're a man.

  At that time, Chen Yi was annoyed, if he didn't think he couldn't beat her, Chen Yi would have let her see whether he was a man or not...

  It seems I haven't offended Yakumo Yukari...

  It seems that not long ago, he had burned Yui's blanket...

  I'm fed up! Zi Ma, have you really lost all sense of shame? Is it necessary to be so petty over such a small matter?!

  "Hey! You guys eat first, I'm full and will leave ahead of time." After eating for a while, Chen Yi was about to leave. If there's still time, it's better to hurry up and guide the darkness out first.

  "Ah~ah~, hurry up and leave, one less person means one less person fighting for food." As soon as Tatsuya said he was leaving, Okaasan started chasing him away without any hesitation. Indeed, the shrine maidens of Hakurei Shrine are not a single one with intact morals...

  Yunzi also looked at Chenyi with profound meaning, didn't say anything, and continued to smile while watching Xiaolingmeng eating.

  Back in his own room, Chen Yi opened the Mind Aura Mask to prevent the dark aura from dissipating. The Mind Aura Mask was a light attribute energy with a strong purification effect. As long as the scattered dark aura was inside, it would quickly be purified by the power of light and mind.

  Exposing his right arm, Chen Yi once again began to guide the darkness from within towards his right hand. The blackness on his arm slowly spread downwards, and as it did, Chen Yi clearly felt his right arm rapidly strengthening. A notion of completely letting go of control over the darkness also emerged.

  *sigh*... After guiding another portion of the darkness into his arm, Chen Yi let out a sigh of relief. Although he could control the darkness within him, during the transfer process, he couldn't help but be affected by it, making him dare not to transfer too much at once. He didn't want to be consumed by the darkness and become a madman who only knew how to kill, only to be finished off by Ba Yunzi herself. Otherwise, his progress wouldn't have been so slow.

  ————————————————————————

  At this time, the stowaways also began to act.

  "Captain, that demon Chen Yi has been hiding in the shrine all this time and hasn't come out once. We haven't had a chance to make our move."

  "Hmph!" The Japanese captain with the Sharingan and ninja attire let out a cold snort, "Go easy? Can you even win?! Don't underestimate the high-level combatants of Gensokyo. Back then, we didn't kill Tewi when she was injured, now taking action would just be a waste of our strength."

  "But captain, what about our mission?"

  "The task is to be completed, since we can't kill the Youkai Tenshi, trapping him is still possible. Alright! Hurry up and set things up. If we act now, it's easy to get discovered by Yakumo Yukari. As long as we trap the Youkai Tenshi, Hakurei Reimu will definitely fight with her for Rumia. As a friend of both sides, Yakumo Yukari won't want to monitor their battlefield, and that's when we'll make our move!"

  "Yes!"

  When he said this, the captain was also very heartbroken. He wanted to trap Chen Yi for a long time without being discovered by the props, and he had one, but that thing was really too precious, only once, and the cost of use was not trivial! If it weren't for the generous rewards after completing this task, he would never take it out!

  Chen Yi, who was completely unaware of being calculated, was still trying to transfer the darkness in his heart at this time. He then used his arm as food for a certain dark night demon and carried out a feeding plan...

  I was originally going to explain it in later chapters, but I think I'll just explain it here instead. The reason this group of stowaways knew about Tatsuki is that the changes he made in this world sent out signals that were passively received by people from other worlds, creating a different fantasy realm... yeah, that's basically it.
