I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 345 The Mystery of the Warring States Period: Finally, Okabe Motonobu is Seen! The Desperate Black-Skinned Book—The God of Possibility Has Obtained It.

Uesugi Tetsu stopped thinking.

Ririko heard the voice of a woman who identified herself as Motonobu Okabe on her phone.

wrong.

It's not a self-proclaimed title.

She is.

Okabe Motonobu's voice was very distinctive, and she was one of Uesugi Tetsuya's few friends, so Uesugi Tetsuya remembered her very clearly.

Slowly regaining his composure, Uesugi Tetsu moved the phone away from his ear and stared at it.

【Ririko】

You read that right, that's what the LCD screen displays.

So, what is going on?
The situation was so sudden and complicated that it completely disrupted Uesugi Tetsuya's original plans in an instant.

Okabe Motonobu didn't even need to say another word.

The fact that she's still alive and even called him using Ririko's phone is big enough news.

Because of his mental imbalance, the burst of energy emanating from Uesugi Tetsuya froze the three people except Qing, and even the driver in the front row who was completely unaware of what was happening.

Even if Uesugi Tetsuya is currently only in his six-tailed fox form after exhausting his spiritual power, he probably has only a handful of opponents below the level of demons and gods.

He's grown up so fast.

A week ago, he was able to go toe-to-toe with Genji Shizumi in the seeding battle final, but if he were to unleash his full power now, he could probably ruthlessly crush Genji Shizumi back then.

Even Yuan Jingshui was considered invincible under the power of ghosts and gods.

Uesugi Tetsuya took a deep breath, suppressing his confusion and shock, and asked seriously,

"Riri, are you listening?"

"I'm here."

Ririko's calm voice continued to come from the other end of the speaker.

In silence, Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... the situation wasn't the worst I had imagined...

—So much time has passed that even if Okabe Motonobu became a demon or a ghost, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

No matter how high Lili Zi's realm or how powerful her sword heart, how could she possibly be a match for a ghost or god?

Uesugi Tetsu continued, "Pick up your phone and put it to your ear."

Lilizi turned off the speakerphone without changing her expression, held the phone close to her ear, and then expanded her qi circulation to envelop it.

After a dozen seconds, Uesugi Tetsuya finally asked,
"What...is her strength?"

"Anyway, it's not related to ghosts or gods."

Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief and abandoned the idea of ​​calling for reinforcements.

If Ririko says she hasn't reached the level of a demon or god, then she definitely hasn't—no matter how strong Okabe Motonobu is, he can't hide from Ririko's sword heart, which has already reached the other side.

"Alright... Ririko, as long as you ensure your own safety, don't let her leave!"

Uesugi Tetsu raised his voice: "I'll be right back!"

Ririko glanced at Okabe Motonobu indifferently again: "Okay."

The call was disconnected on the other end. Ririko put down her phone, opened her sword domain in the villa, and said, "Uesugi-kun said you should wait for him to come back."

"I won't leave."

Okabe Genshin nodded, then closed his eyes with a sigh of relief.

She said softly, "Miss Tokugawa... I said from the beginning that I would wait for him to come back."

Under the moonlight, the atmosphere in the dojo, which had been as thick and heavy as ink, had eased considerably.

After a long silence, Ririko asked again, "Your name is Okabe Motonobu?"

Motonobu Okabe directly admitted: "Yes, Nobumoto Ogasawara is my pseudonym."

Ririko picked up her phone thoughtfully, typed those four words into the search bar, and then frowned once again.

"Okabe Motonobu" was actually a famous general from the Sengoku period.

Her gaze swept over the basic information on Wikipedia.

Warring States Period...

The Imagawa family...

Imagawa Yoshimoto...

After browsing through all the encyclopedia entries, Ririko's gaze as she looked at the phone screen had changed.

Because the person sitting in front of him now is actually a "person from ancient times" from five hundred years ago... and he even knows Uesugi-kun.

Ririko then recalled that when she met Uesugi Tetsu on the train, he mentioned Imagawa Yoshimoto.

One question after another arose in Ririko's mind, only to be suppressed by her.

I'm very confused.

It's alright, we'll just wait for him to come back.

—Uesugi Tetsu put down his phone, took several deep breaths, and began to organize his thoughts.

First and foremost, it is certain that Motonobu Okabe has appeared in the present world, and even went to Arakawa Ward in Tokyo and found his home.

Then, after saying something to Ririko, he got her to agree to call him.

calm down.

Uesugi Tetsuya first took out the Black Man Book from his storage backpack.

Just as the latter was about to display the blood-red words to please Uesugi Tetsu, it saw Karuta, who was standing close by, also looking at it with curious eyes.

This song has turned into Uesugi Tetsu's shikigami!?

Is all this true?
No way, this god is too unpretentious! How come he's willing to be a mere shikigami of a mortal who's not even a god after just a few days?
The black-skinned book's first reaction was to play dead, but after observing its surroundings for a moment, it immediately unfolded its black cover.

Before the frantic bloody words on the yellowed paper could even appear, the entire book had already been shoved into Karuta's hands by Uesugi Tetsuya.

goo...

"Take a look, Ge Liuduo, see if it works."

No sooner had Uesugi Tetsu finished speaking than a prompt appeared before his eyes, even faster than Karudo's answer.

[Your shikigami—Karuta, the God of Possibility—has temporarily acquired the special item "Black Leather Book"!]

[Kuruta, the God of Possibility, has an excellent synergy with the "Black Book"!]

The two notifications brought a hint of joy to Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes, but he waited for a while longer and still didn't see the new notifications or new panel that were supposed to appear.

After a moment's hesitation, Uesugi Tetsu opened the panel of the Black Leather Book.

[Area Unlock Item: Black Leather Book]

[—Take this item to the designated location to unlock a new area.]

no change.

It seems... the Black Man Book is primarily an area unlocking item.

However, once this little black thing was in Karudo's hands, it became extremely docile. Not only did it not tamper with the papers, but even the frantic flattery and begging for mercy in blood-red letters did not appear.

This is a good thing.

Seeing that Karuta had somehow produced a black and gold fountain pen in her hand, and after she nodded, Uesugi Tetsuya spoke.
"Ask it if the one in my house now is really Motonobu Okabe."

Ge Liu often wrote questions on paper with a fountain pen.

Only after Karuta finished writing the last stroke and the pen left the paper could the blood-written words appear clearly one by one.

[This is Okabe Motonobu, whom you, Lord Uesugi, have seen and know.]

This time, however, she came from the mortal realm.

The book about the Black Man has already made things very clear.

"Eternal life..."

Uesugi Tetsu was lost in thought.

He was also curious about Imagawa Yoshimoto's situation, as the recent resurgence of the Sengoku period posed a threat to Shizuoka Prefecture.

It now seems that the Imagawa family has recovered step by step. The fact that Okabe Motonobu was sent to the human world to find him is the best illustration of this.

That's fine, I can ask her what strange things happened after I left that caused the course of history to be reversed again.

Why did everything turn out the way it appears in history books?

—The original plan was brought forward. After meeting Okabe Motonobu, we would return to the Sengoku period within three days to find out more!
Now, he not only has accumulated enough strength, but also possesses the "prophecy" of Karuta and the Black Man's Book, and can also learn a part of the historical truth from Okabe Motonobu.

Returning to the Warring States period would also allow me to advance the Heavenly Path, attract hatred to forge the [Mask of the Vengeful Prajna], and sweep away the demons that have just emerged after the revival of heaven and earth, as well as the Demon Guide Association that has claimed to remember me.

There are so many things that could only be done during the Warring States period.

Even if the world were revived during the Warring States period, at most it would just change from a "three-star" map to a "four-star" map.

Moreover, given the scarcity of spiritual energy in that era, even if someone were to achieve godhood, it could only be the sword saint Kamiizumi, whom he had defeated...

Of course, it's not impossible that Izumi is stronger.

After meeting the contemporary sword saint, Uesugi Tetsu no longer held the title of "sword saint" in the slightest.

He was invincible, even among ghosts and gods.

Let alone the fact that a thousand or ten thousand men were considered a large army during the Warring States period, even a hundred thousand fearless elite soldiers would be helpless against Uesugi Tetsuya!

There are still a few hours before we get back to Tokyo, so let's calm down a bit.

Even if there are "no rivals," one must guard against potential, more powerful adversaries beyond his current understanding.

—Prevention is better than cure; this basic principle will never be wrong!

"Gerudo, you should get along with Xiao Hei for a while."

After seeing Karuta nod earnestly to him, Uesugi Tetsu closed his eyes and entered the Otherworld with Spider-Giri and Kaga Kiyomitsu.

On the desolate plains of Kisaragi Station.

Uesugi Tetsuya, transformed into the Red Hannya, drew his twin swords from his waist—the Red Hannya possessed the greatest power, and if he could fully control it, he could naturally adapt to any other situation.

He had already absorbed all the knowledge he gained from his previous journey through the vast world, and now it was time to put it into practice.

Uesugi Tetsu looked down at the thousand-meter-deep abyss.

So he also grabbed the spider and slashed across the ground.

The rough ground was cut in half without any resistance, like butter.

Uesugi Tetsuya was silent for a moment, then switched to Kaga Kiyomitsu, but he still cut it as easily as butter.

Is the ground too soft?

Or was the knife too sharp?
Uesugi Tetsu put away his two swords, pointed them together to form a sword, and casually slashed at the ground without using any internal energy.

stab.

As if a piece of cloth had been torn open, a trench several meters long and several meters deep appeared before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

Add some more five-colored protective energy.

Thus, a trench several meters deep appeared, with edges as smooth as a mirror.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction.

—A casual wave of the hand can cause this kind of damage. With sword skills and principles reaching 49% and the Natural Principles of Mind Flow having 5,000 points of proficiency, the damage from swordsmanship is indeed incredibly high.

However, he didn't get so cocky as to think about going to Edo Castle to find Fang Xiangshi, but instead continued to try the next move.

Expert-level Yaegi, activated.

In an instant, Uesugi Tetsu disappeared from the spot and reappeared on a pebble the size of a thumb a hundred meters away.

He considered it in his mind.

A hundred meters in an instant, almost as fast as Yuan Jingshui's spatial teleportation.

Perhaps I'm not as good at long-distance travel... but within 100 meters, I need to be more agile.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had traversed dozens of tricky locations in a single second, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword without batting an eye.

His thought flashed through his mind.

Natural Rinnegan-ryu Secret Technique: Sword of Nobunaga - Emptiness!
The low hills in the distance were divided into four parts, collapsing amidst the rumbling sound and the swirling dust.

Uesugi Tetsu touched the praising Ao and the still-unresponsive Kaga Kiyomitsu, and couldn't help but smile.

This Wuming Sword - Void is far superior to "Hidden".

The Sword of No Knowledge - Emptiness - No matter what kind of armor or obstacles are in the way, as long as they are within the range of perception, it can be used to strike directly with a thought.

It's totally unreasonable.

However, the cost of unleashing the Unknown Sword - Void is also extremely high.

Even now, he needs to catch his breath after making two consecutive slashes, and he can only manage twenty or thirty slashes at most in a battle.

The ultimate technique, twenty or thirty times.

If other swordsmen heard these words, they would probably spit blood and die of resentment on the spot!

What is the "profound meaning"?
—It is the essence of a sword style, the trump card that can determine the outcome of a battle!

Once the ultimate technique is unleashed, the battle will be decided in a matter of life and death!
If everyone could unleash twenty or thirty ultimate techniques in a single battle like Uesugi Tetsu, then Onmyoji would have long since disappeared from the historical stage and been forgotten.

Besides the Unknown Sword: Void, Uesugi Tetsu also tried May Rain, but there wasn't much of a surprise.

The difficulty of executing May Rain is similar to that of the Three-Stage Strike Combination, but it is suitable for large-scale group attacks. Uesugi Tetsuya was able to release it at will in just a few minutes.

The "Lin" technique increases the attribute boost from "Physical Strength 15, Willpower 14" to two 20s, which is equally pleasing.

Unfortunately, it's stuck at a bottleneck and may take a lot of time to unlock new features.

Finally, there is the Sword Domain...

Looking at the "reason" before him, which was more chaotic than a million knotted balls of yarn, Uesugi Tetsu felt his head was on fire.

This thing is too complicated to understand in a short time, so let's put it aside for now.

After spending several more hours in the mortal world to fully integrate the newly acquired power, Uesugi Tetsuya finally withdrew his consciousness and returned to his car in the real world.

Opening my eyes, the familiar streets of Arakawa Ward came into view outside the car window, flowing slowly by.

Boom boom, boom boom.

Staring at the unchanging scenery outside the car window, Uesugi Tetsu heard the beating of his heart in his chest drown out the sound of the Wanling Furnace Core.

Am I actually nervous?

It's really rare.

After letting out a breath and meditating for a while, Uesugi Tetsu finally saw his home.

After receiving Riri's call, even Erchi and Xiaojia remained quiet and didn't make a fuss at all.

Even without being emotionally connected, they could sense that something was wrong.

The special vehicle from the Special Affairs Department stopped.

Uesugi Tetsu pushed open the car door and got out.

Two-foot-tall adults, ready for battle, and Karuto, carrying the black leather book, followed closely behind.

Uesugi Tetsu looked down and saw that, apart from the Kaga Kiyomitsu sash at his waist, his attire was completely different from his own during the Sengoku period.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and strode toward the door.

crunch...

The sound of the door hinges turning was especially clear in the dead of night.

As soon as the door opened, a large amount of moonlight flooded into the temple.

Uesugi Tetsuya held his breath and looked up.

Just then, their eyes met those of the woman kneeling and turning around, facing Ririko.

It is Motonobu Okabe.

It was Okabe Motonobu with his eyes fully open.

A myriad of thoughts and fragments flashed before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes like fleeting shadows.

He was about to speak when he was questioned by the woman whose eyes were filled with disappointment and indifference.
"The Great Yin-Yang Master Che".

Okabe Genshin asked, slowly and deliberately, "..."

"Why did you... abandon your lord without a word?"
