I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 327 Demonic Incarnation: The Six-Tailed Fox! The Yuan family's Go master, encountering a skilled player, tries his best but cannot defeat him.
When Uesugi Tetsu walked out of the bamboo forest, the eighteen-year-old and two-thousand-month-old older brother of Minamoto Shizumi, who had been standing in front of the bamboo forest, had disappeared.

Wow~
The rustling of bamboo leaves drowned out the sound of the wind.

When Uesugi Tetsu turned back, he found that the entire bamboo forest had suddenly closed off, and the path they had come from had vanished without a trace, swallowed up by the lush green bamboo that couldn't let in any light.

Countless greedy eyes were scanning him from the bamboo forest, but they vanished the moment the spider blade landed on his waist.

Feeling the chill creeping down his spine, Uesugi Tetsu finally couldn't help but ask Minamoto Shizumi beside him,

"Miss Yuan, what are all these things in here?"

"I don't know."

Yuan Jingshui shook her head: "This bamboo forest has looked like this since I can remember. It has existed for far too long. Even my great-grandfather could not say that he fully understood it."

"But one thing is certain: it's best not to come near here unless absolutely necessary."

A great secret is hidden deep in the mountains of a classic, ancient family.

Never mind, it has nothing to do with me.

Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and found that the sun had just set on the mountain peak, and it would soon be dark.

In the distance, stone benches and platforms were set up in an open space, where two elderly people, one with black hair and the other with white hair, were sitting face to face playing chess.

He was happily playing Go.

Originally, this was nothing, and Uesugi Tetsu didn't intend to interfere—because he knew absolutely nothing about Go.

But what's amazing is that with each move the two old men made, the spiritual energy of the entire Yuan family would change accordingly.

Although the magnitude is extremely small, it does indeed exist.

If it weren't for Uesugi Tetsu's profound mastery of spirit control techniques, the spiritual power within his body would probably have changed as well.

This is very scary.

Imagine that most people would be helpless when facing a turret-type Onmyoji from a distance.

However, if you learn this technique, you only need to "raise your hand" to change the flow of spiritual energy in the opponent's spell, causing the spell to explode and defeat the opponent.

Uesugi Tetsuya became curious.

He gestured to Yuan Jingshui with his eyes, and after receiving no response of "you can't go," he silently walked to the chessboard.

Uesugi Tetsu watched from the side, his analytical eye wide open, trying to capture the subtle processes and principles that caused the spiritual energy to change.

Throughout the entire process, Uesugi Tetsuya did not make a sound.

He knew this was the most basic etiquette for watching chess.

Yuan Jingshui's expression changed slightly, but he also remained silent.

And so, the two guys who thought Go was a game where "whoever captures the most pieces at the end" became unusually focused on watching the battle and changes on the board.

But the good times didn't last long.

"Oh dear, look at how I played this game... Ugh, let's start over..."

After making his move, the white-haired old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, and as he spoke, he was about to subtly wave his sleeve to "reopen the world."

"Let's do it again! How many times have we done it these past two days!" The black-haired old man glared and pushed the long sleeves aside with a slight lift of his finger.

"—This game must be played to the end, so you can see clearly who won and who lost, and who truly deserves the title of 'Centennial Chess Saint'!"

Seeing his little tricks stopped, the white-haired old man was at a loss for what to do.

The old man sighed... but in the midst of his sigh, he saw Uesugi Tetsuya and his companion standing by the chessboard for a long time.

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed when he saw that the person standing there was Yuan Jingshui—in Go, even a hundred little Jingshuis tied together couldn't beat him!
However, there is one more person.

The white-haired old man looked at the unfamiliar face with suspicion, then suddenly realized what was going on when he saw the spider-shaped knife hanging from the man's waist.

The old man coughed twice and revealed a kind smile.
"Ahem...Young friend, may I ask how long you've been standing here watching?"

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had just gained some insight, was startled when Minamoto Shizumi patted him on the shoulder, realizing that she was calling him.

He shook his head honestly: "I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't keep track of the time."

Faced with two seemingly ordinary old men who were casually playing chess at the Minamoto residence, Uesugi Tetsu naturally told the truth.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man's smile widened: "Then, young friend, do you have any thoughts on this game of chess?"

—Is this old man asking himself what his next step should be?
Uesugi Tetsuya wasn't stupid; even though he couldn't understand the situation on the board, he instantly realized that the white-haired old man was probably going to lose.

Otherwise, why would they suddenly ask an outsider?

No, we can't let this old man lose.

I've only just begun to figure it out. If the old man loses, wouldn't all my previous efforts have been for nothing?
"I say, old man Qinghong, you really have no shame." The black-haired old man crossed his arms and sneered, "You're even capable of calling for help from outside the game!"

Yuan Qinghong said without batting an eye, "How can this be called a request for help? I was just asking this young friend for his opinion."

"Go ahead and beg." The black-haired old man raised his eyes. "If I lose, I'll consider my life wasted."

After saying that, he looked at Uesugi Che with a smile and asked, "So, what do you think, young friend?"

—I don't know how to play chess at all!

—But it's okay, my not downloading doesn't mean…

After taking some time to write down the entire game, Uesugi Tetsuya pretended to be deep in thought: "I have a few ideas, but I'll have to think about it for another two minutes."

Two minutes of thinking time was nothing, and the two elderly people naturally had no objections.

So Uesugi Tetsu temporarily left their sight, then took out the special cell phone from the Special Affairs Department and entered the website with the strongest Go AI.

Commonly known as, "the dog is out."

It took the dog a minute to replicate the game, but it only took two or three seconds to give the answer to the next move.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu returned to the chessboard and, under the anxious gaze of Minamoto Kiyohiro and the disdainful look of the black-haired old man, placed a piece.

pat.

This move caused the black-haired old man's previously nonchalant expression to falter slightly.

He straightened up and squinted.

"This step is barely passable."

After a moment's thought, the black-haired old man made his move.

After that, at Gen Kiyohiro's instruction, Uesugi Tetsu secretly used a dog to play chess with the black-haired old man for more than ten moves, causing the old man's expression to gradually become serious and he to fall silent.

In the woods not far away, a boy and a girl hid behind an unusually thick tree stump, peeking out to examine the chessboard in the distance.

"Nao-kun, isn't this cheating? How can this be allowed..."

"That's why your grades are so bad, Xiaojia!"

Minamoto, who had already decided to keep Uesugi Tetsu's signature as a family heirloom, scoffed, "That's called making good use of modern technology and keeping up with the times!"

Genji cursed unhappily.

"If the Yuan family keeps clinging to outdated ideas and refuses to let go, they will soon be eliminated by this world!"

He stretched out his hand and gestured to the girl next to him who was a head taller than him: "I saw on my phone that the outside world is full of high technology! Tokyo even has a sky city that's almost as big as the entire Gen family estate!"

"And didn't you see that the game arcade has already been built at the Kyuuketsuin's house, ugh..."

Before Yuan Zhi could finish speaking, his words were covered by a pair of small, dusty hands.

"Shh-"

Yuan Jia raised her finger and then took her hand down after several seconds.

But as soon as he took it off, Yuan Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Xiaojia, what are you doing!"

"Naoki! If you keep talking, Shizumi-nee will find out!" Yuan Jia said in a low voice. "Besides, you're carrying your phone!"

Yuan Zhi's expression stiffened, but he immediately retorted, "We must have been discovered by Shizumi-nee a long time ago."

Yuan Jia was horrified: "Then why don't we run away quickly?"

"Why run away? I'm not afraid!"

Yuan Zhi pulled his hands away from the girl's, patted her shoulder, and said earnestly, "Because I did the right thing! The right thing is not afraid of being suppressed!"

The boy went on and on, but Yuanjia listened in a daze and didn't understand a thing.

All she knew was that Naoki was probably going to be dragged to the square and spanked again tonight, with blood splattering everywhere from his buttocks.

I'll have to carry him all day again tomorrow.

"Kid, your idea is actually correct."

A strange voice suddenly interrupted, startling the two children.

Yuan Jia disregarded everything else and directly blocked the stunned Yuan Zhi's path, her small eyes narrowing fiercely.

"Who, who is talking!"

"I."

"Who?!" "Me!"

"Who are you?!"

"Look down..."

After waving his arms for a while, the two-foot-tall man sighed helplessly and said to the child staring at him with suspicion, "I am Lord Che's shikigami."

"God formula?"

Yuan Jia asked warily,

Which Onmyoji?

After all, there aren't many Onmyoji in the entire Minamoto family.

"You, you are Lord Uesugi's shikigami!" At this moment, Minamoto no Nao, who had just realized what was happening, excitedly poked his head out. "You are Nishaku!"

"Yes, yes! I am the energy-saving version of Lord Che's number one capable general, the eight-foot Bodhisattva—the two-foot Lord!"

Two feet on hips.

Yuan Jia scratched his head upon seeing this.

Hmm, it seems like I'm not needed anymore.

Yuan Zhi, like a fan meeting their idol, rattled off a whole bunch of praises, making Er Chi feel so high he felt like he was about to take off into space.

Because he was praised so highly by outsiders, Erchi didn't hold back and told them a lot about the outside world.

After a brief exchange, Erchi Daren realized that the Yuan family had indeed maintained the lifestyle of two or three hundred years ago.

—In fact, this was a decision made by the Yuan family to reduce external interference and to help children with poor self-control maintain inner peace and purity.

But Erchi, the foreign shikigami who rubs glass all day long, and Genji, the little brat who starts criticizing the Gen family after scrolling through his phone a bit, have no idea about these things.

So the two of them ended up reaching a consensus after giving the Yuan family a good scolding.

"By the way, little guy, do you play xx Battlegrounds?"

"what is this?"

"Oh, you don't even know this and you claim to know everything about the outside world? Come on, let me teach you how to register an account..."

……

After twenty-three moves, the black-haired old man's back was already soaked with sweat without him even realizing it.

His hands, trembling slightly, held the black chess piece, which hovered in the air for a long time before he could put it down.

Finally, under the smiling gaze of the white-haired old man, Gen Kiyohiro, he released Kuroko, stood up, turned angrily, and strode away.

"I'm not logging off anymore! I have things to do tomorrow!"

"Oh dear, are you making something up out of nothing again?"

Yuan Qinghong asked with a smile, but this only made the black-haired old man walk faster and faster.

Once the other person had disappeared from sight, a beaming smile spread across Minamoto Kiyohiro's face as he stood up and bowed to Uesugi Tetsuya.
"Thank you, Uesugi-kun."

Gen Kiyohiro pointed to the sky, which was already mostly dark, and said cheerfully, "It's getting late now, how about we meet again tomorrow?"

"Please take care, Your Excellency."

Uesugi Tetsuya, who not only enjoyed killing with dogs but also figured out a bit of the technique for driving spiritual power, was all smiles.

One game of chess gave him 400 points of proficiency in his Spirit Control Technique.

Where else can you find such a good deal?
After the white-haired old man had walked away, Uesugi Tetsu asked Minamoto Shizumi, "What are your names, these two?"

"You'll find out tomorrow, Uesugi-kun."

Yuan Jingshui looked behind her: "More importantly... it's time for the two little guys who have been hiding in the back to come out."

She tightened her grip, grabbing the helpless-looking Yuan Jia and the screaming Yuan Zhi.

Yuan Jingshui glanced at the two of them indifferently.
"Alright, I have things to do tonight... Anyway, since you two like Uesugi-kun so much, you can take him to the guest room. You don't need to get involved in anything else."

After a pause, Yuan Jingshui raised her voice by one notch.
"Did you understand, Xiaozhi?"

Yuan Zhi, still clutching his phone, immediately realized that this was Yuan Jingshui giving them a way out, intending to wipe away all of today's "violation records".

Therefore, the boy immediately tossed his phone into his pocket, his eyes gleaming.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After Minamoto Shizumi left, Uesugi Tetsu noticed that the girl who had previously been so generous in asking him for an autograph was not saying much, while the boy had become more active.

"Please lead the way, gentlemen."

"Um...yes, okay, Uesugi-sama!"

"Don't be so nervous, just call me Uesugi-nii or Big Brother."

"Then...Big Brother?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded with a smile.

On the way to the guest room, Uesugi Tetsu, who was following behind Yuan Zhi and Yuan Jia, praised the two children so much that they blushed and felt embarrassed.

Genjiro and Uesugi Tetsu started talking more.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Zhi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you think the Yuan family's current model is reasonable?"

Uesugi Tetsuya naturally knew what he was asking.

Therefore, the answer is: "As long as the Yuan family does not want to spread the Four Extremes Breathing Method throughout the world, it is reasonable."

The unexpected answer stunned Genji, a "modernist".

His idol would actually say such a thing?
Yuan Zhi frowned deeply, gritted his teeth, and continued to ask, "Is it reasonable to not allow people to access modern technology?"

Uesugi Tetsu countered, "Why do you think it's not reasonable?"

Yuan Zhi then stammered out the explanation he had rehearsed countless times: "Because peers outside the city need to use electronic devices for socializing, to access cutting-edge information, and not to become out of touch with society. Plus, phones can have navigation, so they know where to find good food and fun activities. Even just watching videos can be very comforting..."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in agreement.

"So, Minamoto no Nao, do you want to become stronger?"

The boy nodded vigorously: "I want to become as strong as you, Uesugi-nii!"

Uesugi Tetsu gazed into the boy's clear, innocent eyes.
"So what you just said are all trivial matters, or even obstacles."

"And you, Zhijun, lack mental cultivation and self-control—I'm guessing you were scrolling through your phone all night, which is why you're so tired the next day?"

Yuan Zhi's face flushed red, and he didn't answer.

Instead, Yuan Jia exclaimed in surprise.

"So that's why you were so sleepy this morning, Nao-kun!"

Although he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, Yuan Zhi still raised his voice in protest.
"That Jin from the Nine Tribulations Academy also eats, drinks, and plays every day, yet he's just as powerful..."

"So, Genjiro, do you think you have the talent of Kyuuketsuin Kin?" Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh. "Don't even mention you. If we're just talking about talent, even ten of me can't catch up with him."

Yuan Zhi lowered his head and gripped his phone tightly.

Uesugi Tetsu stopped and saw a dimly lit guest room not far away.

He continued, "Yuan Zhi, you were born into the Yuan family. Just that starting point already puts you ahead of most people."

"Don't waste this opportunity."

Uesugi Tetsu used his powerful qi to grab the lost, circling man in the distance and head towards the guest room.

"That's all."

The boy stood there, biting his lip tightly without saying a word.

After seeing Uesugi Tetsu leave, the girl anxiously tried to comfort him, but to little avail.

The two-foot-tall adult, floating in the sky with her rear end sticking out, watched this scene and sighed inwardly—the good teammate she had just found was gone just like that.

How could Lord Che be so wicked!

Uesugi Tetsu used his internal energy to transmit a message to Genka, telling her to keep an eye on Gennao and prevent him from doing anything foolish.

He went into the guest room, found a corner to sit down, and began to absorb spiritual energy.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Uesugi Tetsuya closed his eyes and, together with Spider-Giri and Kaga Kiyomitsu, entered the Otherworld.

He opened his eyes again, and the long-awaited notification appeared before him.
