Storyline
In the wake of so many incidents beyond their control, the Human Village has fallen into a state of hopeless pessimism. Believing that religion can restore order, some of Gensokyo's most prominent adherents of Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto all want to take this chance to expand their particular faith's influence.

A strange phenomenon called "Perfect Possession" is taking place. A phenomenon where one is taken over by a completely different person, not only in mind, but also in body. But have no worry: Reimu is already on her way to investigate the cause behind its occurrence. "The strongest duo have joined forces." "Something bad may be in store for us humans." "An opponent impossible to defeat by anybody alone?" Ludicrous rumors are circulating, seemingly out of the fear in human villagers' hearts. The so-called "Urban Legend Incidents", yet to be resolved, have bestowed unsubstantiatable rumors with a tendency to manifest in concrete forms. And this time, the Perfect Possession is obviously yet another Urban Legend Incident. This story is about those who keep watch on Perfect Possession, those who exploit it, those unwittingly dragged into it, and those working to expose the threat behind it... Those who have made the mistake of seeing themselves as the strongest duo. This is a bittersweet story about them.

While cleaning the precincts of the temple, I heard the sound of many footsteps climbing the stone steps. Reimu is excited to see what is going on and wonders if it is a group of visitors. However, she was wrong. Armed Hoffgoblins were coming up the steps. "Reimu, help me!" I've heard the familiar voice, and when I looked closer, I saw that Marisa was being chased by them. "Yes, yes, we're almost there, just hang in there." But the next moment, a magic shot from Marisa's hand grazed my ears.

Touhou Shinpiroku: Urban Legend in Limbo.
Strange rumors are circulating in the Human Village. "A dog with a human's face was rummaging in the compost pile." "Somebody saw an old woman selling humans' feet." These pointless rumors have exploded, and driven the children into fear. Unlike the youkai whose natural purpose is to attack humans, these rumors are both unsettling and impossible to discern the truth underneath. Since there were no real victims, the adults have come to think of them as merely children's silly talks. Of course, the girls are not afraid. They know these to be the outside world's "urban legends" (made-up stories). Urban legends have an interesting property. As the circulating rumors change, the anomalies will change correspondingly. Reimu and company have assumed the rumors that fit them, and treat the anomalies as their playthings. As long as one can control the rumors without being afraid, the manifested anomalies can be rendered harmless. More than that, they can be turned into powers of one's own. The girls thought of controlling the urban legends by themselves as a necessary measure for keeping people from harm. This had indeed been true. Until one night...
