I am recycling settings in the anime

"Really? Is that really necessary to judge me like that? After all, I'm a beautiful and youthful sage..."

"A sage who's thousands of years old? Even I can't figure out your age, yet you keep saying you're seventeen. Have some shame."

Crack... I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Ibaraki Hanasu seemed to hear the mournful sound of the folding fan in Yakumo Yukari’s hand.

After taking a look at the other person's somewhat forced smile, Ibaraki Hanasu also sighed deeply.

They don't have any dignity as a great monster. All the sages in Gensokyo are like this. It really makes people worry about the future of Gensokyo.

"You would never do something meaningless, so, what happened in Gensokyo?"

Yakumo Yukari, who was still feeling "sad" because of Ibaraki Hanasu's weird attitude, put on a look of despair, leaned on the gap, lingered on Ibaraki Hanasu with a resentful look, and slowly spoke.

"It's not Gensokyo, but something's wrong in the underworld and Hell. Because it's related to the outside world, I came here specifically to warn you."

"The underworld and Hell? What happened?"

These overly sensitive words made Ibaraki Hanasu's eyes suddenly become stern.

When talking about the main business, Yakumo Yukari also lifted her spirits a little.

"Do you know about the Great Barrier Incident in Gensokyo?"

"Of course I know that every sixty years, the number of ghosts from the outside world increases greatly and all of them pour into Gensokyo, which causes the barrier of Gensokyo to weaken. All the flowers in Gensokyo bloom at the same time regardless of the season. The Death God who leads the ghosts at the Sanzu River cannot send all the ghosts to Yama for judgment at once. Therefore, the ghosts have no place to go and can only take possession of the flowers, causing all kinds of flowers to bloom. Although it is called a mutation, in fact, as long as time passes, the mutation will naturally end."

As he spoke, Ibaraki Hanafu also felt something was amiss. Wait, why did the phenomenon of the large increase in the number of ghosts seem to be related to the current situation...

Yakumo Yukari nodded and continued the other party's words.

"But now, not only has the Great Barrier Incident not appeared in Gensokyo, but the ghosts in the Underworld seem to have sensed something amiss and are starting to stir. Yuyuko has even come to me to complain recently. And this phenomenon isn't limited to the Underworld; it's also happening in Hell and the abandoned Old Hell. According to Yuyuko and the others, the spirits are stirring because they seem to be afraid of something."

"And just at this moment, the God of Death from Hell came to Gensokyo!"

"She told me that something seemed to have happened to Yanma, who was in charge of the Tokyo area, a few days ago, and asked Yingji to go over and take a look."

"But now, after Shiki Eiji passed away, we've completely lost contact."

Chapter 60 The order of hell has been completely destroyed by that guy!

After Hua Shan came back from outside, she went straight to Fang Yi without any hesitation.

Fang Yi just walked out from the depths of the archives, holding a piece of information in his hands, his face full of thought.

It was obvious that Fang Yi was thinking about what had happened recently, and Ibaraki Huashan walked directly towards Fang Yi.

She did not tell anyone about Yakumo Yukari, but just told Fang Yi her own guess.

"Master, regarding the evil spirits wreaking havoc in Tokyo, I think it might be related to Hell. Even... the incident with the 'Predator' might be deeply connected to Hell. Perhaps the 'Predator' you're looking for is there!"

"Hell? Why would you think that?"

Fang Yi did not immediately deny the other party's guess. To be honest, Ibaraki Hanasu knew more about many things than he did. Whether it was the scope of the other party's knowledge or the other party's comprehensive ability, Fang Yi did not think that he could compare with the other party.

Even though the setting can bring Fang Yi great strength, daily training and continuous battles with the enemy can bring Fang Yi enough combat experience, but he really needs more training in the abilities needed to resolve incidents.

Therefore, Fang Yi often listens to the advice of people around him.

Just like now, Fang Yi has basically been consulting Ibaraki Huashan for his opinion.

"After a human dies, their spirit is taken away by the God of Death and brought to the Sanzu River. The ferryman Death takes them across the Sanzu River to the other side for judgment. Based on the severity of their sins, the guilty are sent to Hell to be punished, while the innocent are sent to the underworld or heaven to be reincarnated or become Buddhas. Logically, there shouldn't be so many undead in this city; they should all be taken away by the God of Death after death. However, this situation persists. There are only two possibilities!"

A deep sense of heaviness gradually emerged on Ibaraki Hanasu's face, and his hands subconsciously clenched.

"One was the negligence of Yama and the God of Death. That was my initial thought, so at that time I didn't pay too much attention to the abnormalities of this city. I just complained in my heart, "Are you really not afraid of this city being demolished or yourself being fired?"

"Why do I feel like these Yama and Shinigami are just like office workers?"

The word "dismissal" used to describe Yama and the God of Death really made Fang Yi feel a little out of place.

But it is obvious that this is how the world is. Even Yama and the God of Death are just positions.

A mocking look gradually emerged on Ibaraki Hanasu's face as he slowly explained.

"That's perfectly normal. Master, don't mistake Hell for anything formal. The original Hell was simply a place where "people who can't fit into a world of kindness, born evil, and warriors seeking true freedom come together to build a society that conforms to their own wishes." In the Sea of ​​Fire, you can burn as much flesh as you want, and in the Pool of Blood, you can drink as much as you want. There's no such thing as causing trouble here. Therefore, Hell is a world where the more you ignore others, the easier it is to survive."

"However, some beings known as Yama and demons believed that if Hell remained uninhabited, it would become a formality. Therefore, they worked hard to establish a new system, bringing order and organization to Hell. This organization is the current Hall of Right and Wrong, which judges the sins and virtues of the deceased souls."

What is the relationship between ghosts and ghosts? Fang Yi really wanted to ask this question, but——

After seeing the sneer on Ibaraki Hanasu's face when he mentioned the other party, Fang Yi didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that the relationship between them and the current ghost clan must be very bad, so it’s better not to ask too much.

"The order between life and death and the reincarnation process maintained by this organization have been very well established to this day. So when I noticed the anomaly in Tokyo, I simply assumed things would get better after a while. After all, Yama and the Shinigami have their assessments, and with Tokyo doing so poorly, a Shinigami or Yama would surely take over soon, and order would be restored."

"However, I just got a piece of news from a friend—"

"The souls of the underworld responsible for reincarnation are rioting, and even the souls being punished in Hell are rioting. They seem to be afraid of something. Moreover, Yama from other regions has come to Tokyo, but has since lost contact."

"Well, since it's not the first possibility, the only possibility left is the last one!"

If this is the case, then the nature of the matter has completely changed.

This is definitely not as simple as Yama's dereliction of duty, but there is a problem between Yama and the God of Death, and the entire order is abnormal.

"I suspect that the predator may have appeared in Hell... or even..."

"The order of Hell has been completely destroyed by that guy!"

Ibaraki Huashan's words suddenly made Fang Yi's face change suddenly. He remembered the undead who had appeared with the insect eggs before.

"Wait! The insect eggs that appeared before were also from the undead... If that bastard ate as much as he could in Hell, it's not impossible for him to evolve to that point and start spreading insect eggs to the undead."

Fang Yi found that he had been struggling with why the other party had eaten so many people without him knowing about it, but he had forgotten one thing: it was not impossible for predators to appear in the past, present and future, not to mention other spaces, such as the underworld and hell. Especially when they appeared in places that he could not touch, of course he would not know that the other party had eaten people.

Habitual thinking is harmful! After knocking his head, Fang Yi quickly looked at Ibaraki Huashan.

"Hua Shan, do you have a way to enter hell directly?"

"This...may not work."

Upon hearing this, Ibaraki Hanafu frowned, and the expression on his face became a little complicated.

"It would have been very convenient a few hundred years ago, but with the decline of the mystical world, there is no longer a direct road to hell in modern society, unless Yama and the God of Death take the initiative to open the road to hell."

Gensokyo is different. It is a place that still preserves the mysteries of this world. The ground is even actually connected to the Sanzu River. So for the people of Gensokyo, entering hell can be said to be a bit of a hassle.

Of course, Hua Shan can ask Yakumo Yukari for help. Even the dream world can be easily entered through the gap, let alone hell.

Just when I was about to tell Fang Yi that I had a friend, Iwanaga Kotoko's voice suddenly came.

"Master! Found it! Miss Huashan's animal friends found Miss Kagome's file!"

The extremely excited voice made Fang Yi and Ibaraki Huashan's eyes suddenly brighten.

I thought it would take a long time to find it, but I didn't expect that Ibaraki Huashan's animal friend solved the problem directly.

"Huashan, Qinzi, well done. And Huashan, please thank the friends around you for me."

"I will, but I'd also like to trouble the Master to use his spiritual power to refine some crystals for me. I'll use them as a reward for everyone."

"It's no big deal. After all, this time we are all thanks to them!"

If using gifts of this level can get them to do you a favor, Fang Yi said, "I can provide you with more than a month's supply. Can you please help me classify the archives? I will list the protagonists, supporting roles and passers-by in each work and help me classify them according to the works. This way, I don't have to look for them one by one in the future."

However, after Iwanaga Kotoko brought the file, Fang Yi put the matter aside for the time being.

While handing the file to Fang Yi, Iwanaga Kotoko also told him everything she had discovered.

"So far, those animal friends have only found Ms. Kagome's file. According to the patterns I've discovered while organizing the files, these files are generally placed together by family. For example, Yotsuya Miko's file is placed in the center, and on the left and right are Yotsuya Miko's family members, and then the elders at the next level are arranged in this order."

"But what's strange is that the only file on Miss Kagome's side is Miss Kagome herself. I haven't seen any other files, and the names of the files of the ladies are written as-"

Without Iwanaga Kotoko saying it, Fang Yi had already seen the markings on the archival documents.

——■■Kagome (Hanakaiin Kagome)!

Chapter 61 Today I will definitely make sure you, the museum owner, can’t get out of bed!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Early in the morning, the sharp wail pierced the room, causing Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko to cover their foreheads with their hands.

The messy bed was a testament to the intimate couple's mischief last night, but Iwanaga Kotoko was not very happy about it, because her time of lying intimately on her master's chest every morning was interrupted by the piercing screams.

Iwanaga Kotoko slowly moved her head away from Fang Yi's chest with sobs, her eyes full of resentment.

"What's wrong with Yurikawa-san? Why are you making such loud noises?"

Kotoko was still a little sleepy now, mainly because she had been busy too late last night. After finding the archival documents, she studied them with the museum owner and Ibaraki Hanasu for a long time. By the time it was time to rest, it was almost the same as if she had been working all night.

"He must be having a nightmare. Such exciting things happened last night. It would be strange if he didn't have a nightmare!"

Fang Yi was not surprised at all. He just moved his position and prepared to get up.

For a person who knows nothing and has always lived in an ordinary worldview, it is normal to have nightmares when he suddenly discovers that there are actually monsters in his world. Fang Yi can be said to have deep empathy for such an experience. After all, he is a senior in this regard. He remembers that when he first encountered the "Predator", he couldn't sleep well and had nightmares every night, fearing that the "Predator" would attack him while he was asleep.

Therefore, Fang Yi is one of the few people who can understand the other person's current nightmare situation.

However, even Fang Yi couldn't help but reveal a helpless look.

"But being disturbed like this does make me feel a little... Never mind, I'll just get used to it!"

"Hmm? You'll get used to it. What does the owner mean?"

Kotoko Iwanaga seemed a little dazed. She raised her head with sleepy eyes and looked at Fang Yi, which made Fang Yi couldn't help but smile. She was so cute that Fang Yi raised his right hand slightly and pinched her face.

What a cute little girl. Fang Yi said to himself with a chuckle.

Wuuuuuuu... making such sounds from her mouth, Iwanaga Kotoko puffed out her lips and shook her head along with Fang Yi's movements. Who told her master to like her cute appearance so much? I am really sinful!

Fang Yi did not respond to the other party's words, but just raised his hand with a smile and then showed a number.

3, 2, 1... He raised his hands and made this gesture, then Fang Yi put his hands down.

Knock knock knock! Continuous knocks on the door sounded slowly, and Ibaraki Hanafu's voice also came in.

"Master, I'm sorry to interrupt your lovemaking, but you must have heard the cries of a certain confused little girl. Let's save the rest of our lovemaking for tonight. Don't be too decadent in broad daylight."

The voice with a hint of preaching was not unexpected at all, and made Iwanaga Kotoko sigh.

"Alas, our little love nest that was originally just for me and the owner has suddenly become one with four people. It feels unexpectedly crowded. Not in a physical sense, but in a psychological sense! Although I know that Miss Ibaraki Hanaou is doing this for our own good."

"She also has the temperament of a housekeeper, especially when it comes to preaching."

Fang Yi said this with a smile, but it attracted a sharp look from Iwanaga Kotoko.

"Hmm? Housekeeper? What does the owner think of Miss Ibaraki Hanaougi?"

Fang Yi clearly felt the jealousy of the girl beside him, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Well, I have a lot of ideas. As for her figure, I have to say she's really good! And her personality, abilities, and the familiarity that permeates her, as if she's clearly lived in my hometown for a long time, are completely..."

Before Fang Yi could finish his words with a smile, Iwanaga Kotoko pounced on Fang Yi who had just stood up.

"Ahhhhhhh! Today I will definitely make sure you, the Master, can't get out of bed and completely eradicate those unnecessary thoughts of yours!"

The noisy sound inside made Ibaraki Hanafu smile, and a slight blush appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Housekeeper or something, the owner really likes to talk nonsense, and now he is in trouble."

After complaining with a gloating tone, Ibaraki Hanasu smiled and continued speaking.

"It's a good thing you're being so affectionate this morning. At least I don't have to worry too much about your relationship. But... you should also be more restrained. I was standing at the door and didn't even try to restrain myself. I can only say that Miss Kotoko is quite jealous."

Without paying any further attention to the strange noises coming from inside, Ibaraki Hanasu silently ran upstairs to help a girl who had a nightmare. As for the two people in love inside, she was not so tactless as to disturb them.

As for the lecture? It's not too late to wait until dinner time.

When Ibaraki Hanasu arrived at Xiaohua's room, he saw a girl lying on the ground, screaming in pain. This made Ibaraki Hanasu cover his forehead and sigh.

"I always feel that Miss Yurikawa is unexpectedly like a child, so careless."

"No, I didn't. I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was caught by the monster from last night."

"The monsters have been cleared out. We are here, so there is no need to worry."

Ibaraki Hana fanned the other person and coaxed him into giving Xiaohua a coaxing look, causing Xiaohua to not be able to help but look at the girl with a face full of "lovingness".

"I feel like you, Miss Huashan, are like a mother to me. I think you will definitely be a good mother in the future!"

"Well...good mother or something!"

Ibaraki Huashan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she suddenly thought of the housekeeper she had just heard from Fang Yi.
