I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 368 Boarding the Moon Train Again! The Factory Manager's Disdain for Ghosts and Gods... If you're not a ghost or god, why could you hurt me!

"Speak, Lord Uesugi, who do you want to kill?"

Ao, who hadn't felt Uesugi Tetsuya's fighting spirit for a long time, suddenly spoke up, unusually excited: "Is it those little ones inside the city, or the demons and monsters outside?"

Qing, who hadn't seen blood in a long time, was getting impatient.

"As for the city, I've memorized quite a few things, so I can go there directly later... As for the demons, killing them one by one shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"—Xiaoqing, you're going too far."

Uesugi Tetsuya slipped the black gold VIP card into his pocket and answered with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Ao was puzzled: "Lord Uesugi, have I ever had any extreme thoughts?"

He said matter-of-factly, “Those who pose a threat should be killed, and any potential threats should be nipped in the bud; as for demons, whether they pose a threat or not, whether they seem good or bad, they should all be killed.”

Qing's words were so certain,
"The mere existence of demons in this world is a mistake!"

Uesugi Tetsuya remained silent for a moment, and did not bring up any more extreme matters.
"Let Erchi handle those small tasks; it's good to give her something to do every day."

He shrugged: "Otherwise, as soon as I leave, she'll definitely start lying around playing on her phone, or she'll start acting crazy over something."

Uesugi Tetsu pointed to the two-foot-tall man inside, whose little face was almost turning into a bitter gourd from being so busy, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiaoqing, look at her now, being 'ordered around' by those believers every day, isn't that good enough?"

After listening quietly to what Erchi said inside for a while, Uesugi Tetsu smiled at Ao and said, "I didn't realize that Erchi, who is usually so unserious, actually has a strong sense of responsibility."

Qing absentmindedly echoed the words, without saying much more.

He felt that Lord Uesugi was right; it was a good thing to let those lesser shikigami gain more experience.

But wouldn't that make things difficult for him?

Spending all day in its sheath, I feel like my body is going to rust...

Before Qing could finish this thought, she saw Uesugi Tetsu mysteriously say in her mind, "Qing, Jia, let's not waste our energy going to find those shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

After a pause, Uesugi Tetsuya licked his lips: "How about we go slay some demons and gods?"

spirits?

This sudden change stunned Ao: "This...isn't necessary, Uesugi-sama?"

He thought he was already extreme enough, but he never expected that Lord Uesugi was far more extreme than him...

No wonder Lord Uesugi wasn't interested in his suggestion at all.

But Aota knew clearly—ghosts and gods, and those below them, were two completely different species.

Although Lord Uesugi may have become powerful enough to easily kill hundreds or thousands of his peers, and even previously beheaded the Tengu Oni-shin who had just awakened.

But it's a different story when facing normal ghosts and spirits.

More importantly, the gap between ghosts and gods is unimaginable. An adult might be able to fight against a mortal who has already exhausted all his strength just to become a ghost or god.

But what if you encounter a powerful being among the ghosts and gods?

Strange, Lord Uesugi wasn't like this before... He was decisive, but he would never be so reckless.

Xiao Jia noticed Qing's confusion and said smugly, "Qing, have you forgotten again?"

Kaga Kiyomitsu chuckled.

"My master can't die in the mortal world!"

Yes!

Qing was startled and realized that he had forgotten this.

Because many of his previous short-lived owners thought they were destined to be the protagonist after acquiring him, and they especially liked to fight and kill those who were much stronger than them.

In the end, he encountered a truly powerful opponent, and even unsealing him to perish together with him was too late.

But Lord Uesugi is different...

Lord Uesugi was the only one who walked the path, and he even had a very good relationship with the embodiment of calamity, so it was normal for him to have some "privileges".

Thinking of this, Qing's heart gradually calmed down.

"I came prepared this time, and I have reliable security guarantees. Even if I can't win, I might not die."

Uesugi Tetsu tapped the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword with his finger and said irritably, "Stop cursing your master to die all the time! When you were weak, it was easy to die, but now how many people can easily kill me?"

Kaga Kiyomitsu: "Master, you really have a thick skin... Ouch!"

Rolling his eyes, Uesugi Tetsuya withdrew his pounding hand, choosing to leave the two shikigami to fend for themselves in the Warring States period. He then left temporarily with the twin swords at his waist and arrived at the ruins of Kisaragi Station in the Tokoyo.

This time, he gave himself one hour to practice, which is equivalent to a day in the Warring States period.

Uesugi Tetsuya gripped the black and gold VIP card, recalling how to use it.

— By channeling spiritual energy into the card and silently reciting the destination in your mind, you will know when the next Kisaragi Train will arrive.

Uesugi Tetsu did as instructed, channeling a little spiritual energy into his mind and silently reciting "Kisaragi Station" twice.

In this way, as long as Ye Chun can get information from this card, he will definitely notice something is wrong and thus lower his attention.

He stood quietly beside the huge crack, waiting.

Less than three minutes later, accompanied by a thick fog rising, the clanging sound unique to trains drew near.

On the rusty rails, a clean train with a gleaming front came to a slow stop.

"They arrived really fast... and the car is so new, they even have the capacity to take care of the passenger experience."

Uesugi Tetsu walked around the two short carriages with great interest and found that it was obviously a train that had been temporarily rerouted.

Didn't he see the few passengers inside snarling and glaring at him, practically ready to come down and hack him to pieces with all sorts of weapons in their hands?

Inside the carriage, several ferocious demons, barely covering their bodies with tattered burlap, were talking in an unusually unpleasant manner.

The pig-headed man with two deep, intersecting scars on his face roared.

"That black fog under the car, get on board and stop wasting my time! When you get on, I'll teach him a lesson about obeying the law!"

—That's right. In order to avoid being remembered by the demons and gods later, Uesugi Tetsu used the Thousand Faces technique to transform himself into a cloud of black mist.

This also includes Kaga Kiyomitsu and Spider Cutter, reducing unnecessary trouble.

These demons, with only a smattering of power, naturally couldn't see through the myriad disguises.

The goat-headed demon beside him gritted its teeth and sneered, "Killing is indeed forbidden on the carriage, but it doesn't say you can't use your hands, hehehe..."

The strategist, who deliberately didn't occupy the "priority seats" like the other two, frowned as he glanced at the station list: "Strange, this line shouldn't have this stop..."

Under the watchful gaze of the three-headed demon, the black mist slowly floated to the front of the carriage.

The carriage door slowly opened.

"you……"

The pig-headed man grinned maliciously, about to unleash his rusty butcher knife, when a blood-red demon mask emerged from the black mist.

!

A thick, viscous aura of ghosts and spirits permeated the carriage, causing the pig-headed man's entire body to stiffen.

As if drawn to it, another pale, pitch-black demon mask floated out from the black mist.

Three masks and six empty eyes stared silently at the pig-headed man.

Snapped!
The pig-headed man knelt directly on the carriage, his head lowered, cold sweat already soaking through the few tattered burlap sacks covering his body.

It stammered, speaking in the most sincere voice of its life.

"M-M-M-Master..."

The goat-headed demon and the dog-headed strategist beside him stared silently elsewhere, as if they didn't recognize the stupid pig kneeling on the ground at all.

For the first time, they were grateful that the train carriage was so well soundproofed.

Uesugi Tetsu ignored the "obedient" pig-headed man and was just about to tap Ye Chun in the way he had planned when he heard the two-meter-tall giant, whose body was rotting but hadn't dirtied the seat at all, sneer coldly from several meters away.
"What kind of jerk dares to be on the Kisaragi Train..."

Boom!

Thunder on the ground!

A bright white thunderclap exploded in the void, instantly causing a strange, burnt smell to waft from the little giant's body.

The latter's eyes were white, and he had already fallen straight down in the aisle. If he were to be electrocuted again, he would probably start breaking into street dance.

Uesugi Tetsu turned his scarlet mask and said hoarsely, "If there's a next time, you'll die."

A mere three-and-a-half-star demon dares to speak so harshly to him...

—However, Uesugi Tetsu only taught this clueless guy a lesson, since killing a passenger who had bought a ticket on the Kisaragi Train would not have a good impact.

Two seconds later, it was unclear what the little giant and the three-headed demon had heard, but Uesugi Tetsuya saw that they immediately looked panicked. Without saying a word, he ran out of the car and stood in the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the carriage.

Uesugi Tetsuya seemed to be deep in thought, and stopped maintaining his hoarse and eerie voice, instead asking directly in his original voice, "Ye Chun... can you speak directly?"

He waited a moment, but there was no response.

It seems not possible.

The next second, a small white note floated down from mid-air.

The writing on it was crooked and clumsy, clearly indicating that it hadn't been written in a long time.

[Can be heard]

If she can hear me, that's good. And she didn't question her current appearance at all... It seems that after so much time, the strength of the former Xiao Ye Chun is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and explained simply,
"I've just broken through to the Ghost God realm, so I'd like to ask you for a favor: could you help me find a guy who's not that strong and who caused trouble in your car before, so I can practice against him?"

"Perfect, this guy can also help you solve some trouble."

In the darkness, the girl who had just torn off a corner of the notebook hesitated for a moment.

She could tell that Uesugi Tetsu was not actually a demon.

But then Ye Chun tore off another piece of paper and wrote something on it.

—This is Uesugi-kun, what is there that this reliable man can't do?
Even if we are no match for them, we still have ourselves, don't we?
Inside the carriage, Uesugi Tetsu received a second note.

【Please wait】

"sorry to bother you."

【No trouble at all, thank you for your help, Uesugi-kun】

Why are you using honorifics now?

Uesugi Tetsu smiled helplessly as he received slips of paper detailing the specific circumstances.

[The guy who's alone on the next train is...]

That guy is a mid-level manager under the factory owner, P; he's the HR manager.

[I heard that the factory owner, P, complained that Kisaragi Train had taken away a significant portion of the market share, but due to various reasons, P couldn't take direct action himself, so he tried every means to suppress me.]

One of the simplest methods is to send subordinates on a train and then "threaten" them with various factory-specific benefits.

Actually, this doesn't matter.

The crucial point is that this manager deliberately dirtied the train every time he rode it!

As he wrote the final lines, perhaps because Ye Chun's emotions were running high, Uesugi Tetsuya saw the first exclamation mark.

Factory owner?
Ha ha.

This is really a narrow road between enemies.

No wonder those slovenly demons didn't dirty the train when he saw them earlier; it turns out Ye Chun didn't like them...

As he casually tossed the note into the black mist, Uesugi Tetsuya's faint laughter gradually turned hoarse and eerie.

"Don't worry... let this kind-hearted demon who's just passing by help you deal with this blind fool."

Less than five minutes later, Uesugi Tetsu saw another train approaching from the mist in the distance, eventually connecting with his carriage.

crunch...

The carriage door directly in front slowly opened, revealing a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a suit standing in the middle of the aisle.

"By simply taking another train, not only will I no longer have to struggle to squeeze onto the subway every day, but my salary will also double. Mr. P is simply amazing..."

The manager was thinking happily when he happened to catch a glimpse of a black mist exuding an aura of ghosts and gods not far away.

He expertly showed his passport, which was tucked into the lining, and pointed to the open carriage door.

But after waiting for several seconds, the manager found that the black mist was still staring at him silently, and even pointed the three inferior Prajna masks at him.

"Don't you recognize the United Passport? Aren't you getting off the bus now?"

The black fog remained unmoved and even surged into the carriage.

"Foolish country bumpkin..."

The manager took two steps back with his shoes, deliberately stained with filthy black mud, leaving indelible marks in the aisle, and then waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't come near me, you're disgusting!"

interesting.

Uesugi Tetsu grinned, causing the three illusory masks to simultaneously reveal a sinister smile.

He had originally wanted to find some excuse to take action against this hypocritical creature with a "just cause," but now things have turned out badly.

There's no need to even make up an excuse.

boom!
A massive air cannon exploded beside the manager, blasting him, who was completely unprepared, from the car into the wasteland hundreds of meters away.

Now the fighting won't dirty the train.

"You wild demon, you're courting death!!!"

On the desolate ground, the disheveled manager picked up his glasses from the ground. Upon discovering he was completely unharmed, he couldn't help but sneer: "So you're not even a ghost or god, yet you dare to lay a hand on me..."

Rumble!
Before the manager could finish speaking, a thick, watery, bluish-purple lightning bolt, shaped like an inverted triangle, descended from the sky and enveloped him.

"If you want to kill, then kill. Why all the nonsense..."

The mask opened and closed, emitting a chilling laugh.

Before he could dodge, the manager, whose body was numb with fear, was utterly terrified.

"It's clearly not a ghost or god, so how did this wild demon manage to injure me..."

Before the manager could even finish his thought, hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning rained down on him as if they were free for a limited time.

The pure thunderous bombardment lasted for a full ten seconds before stopping.

Uesugi Tetsuya silently gazed at the silver-white robot that had risen from the thunder, roaring to the sky and appearing extremely angry. After observing it for a while, he made a mental assessment.

"A simple master-level Five Thunder Technique only has a braking effect on ghost-level targets and does not have much killing power."

"—You damned demon! I'll send you to the bottom of the factory, to be the lowest of the low for all eternity, to be squeezed dry of your every last bit of value!!!"

So much nonsense.

While he was still uttering threats, Uesugi Tetsuya had already fully activated his Spirit Control Technique, sending all his vast spiritual power into the core of the Myriad Spirit Furnace, and then releasing it using the Five Thunder Technique.

After discovering that normal ghosts and spirits were indeed ridiculously hard, Uesugi Tetsu generously used his strongest ranged technique to date.

The Wanling furnace core vibrates.

The spiritual energy on the wasteland seemed to be swallowed up by an unseen abyss, forming an astonishingly large funnel of spiritual energy.

The manager, who had shed his human skin and transformed into a cyborg, quickly surveyed his surroundings.
"There are other ghosts and spirits... No, wait!"

"—It's it! It's that country bumpkin!"

The manager's electronic eyes reddened, revealing a hint of astonishment: "How could it be that!?"

Even the general manager in charge of them couldn't have changed the direction of spiritual energy on such a large scale in such a short period of time!

"Damn it... I can't let this body perish in this desolate wilderness; I won't even get compensation for a work injury..."

The manager was hundreds of meters away in an instant, but he still felt himself being firmly locked on.

There's no way to run!

Even if the manager is stupid and unwilling to damage this expensively made body, he realizes that fighting is the only option now.

Accompanied by a crisp notification sound, the manager faced Uesugi Tetsuya and opened his chest to reveal the dark muzzle of a cannon.

next moment.

A pale white light and a deep blue light crossed paths.

A beam of azure energy struck, but Uesugi Tetsuya did not dodge.

He wanted to see how he would fare against a hasty attack from a god-like enemy, now that he had layered his armor to this extent.

the answer is……

Within the black mist, Uesugi Tetsuya, his body charred black, felt a tingling and painful sensation on his skin, and witnessed the rapid growth of new flesh and skin.

—The ghost's hasty attack was enough to break through his multiple defenses.

However, it didn't cause enough damage!

By the same token, even if the manager delivers a full-force attack, he won't die on the spot unless it hits the bullseye.

And as long as he doesn't die, given his regenerative abilities...

This is just a minor injury, nothing serious!
In the blink of an eye, Uesugi Tetsuya's skin had fully recovered, and the multiple layers of protection that had been shattered had been rebuilt.

And what about the other party?
Uesugi Tetsu looked at the manager who had been locked down by his spirit control technique and had taken all the damage.

The once technologically advanced body has become tattered, but it is also repairing itself at a visible speed.

If left unattended, it will probably revert to its original state in less than ten minutes.

As expected, enemies of the demonic and god-like level possess terrifyingly strong vitality.

Uesugi Tetsuya remained expressionless, asking a question that resonated deep within his heart.

"Little Jia, are you ready?"

"anytime!"

Xiao Jia said fiercely, "This blind bastard dares to talk to his master like that! I'll make him pay!"

And so, Uesugi Tetsuya said silently,
"The Prison of Separation".

The sorrow of parting, which had been building up since the first moment they met, erupted at this moment.

The first time, the newly acquired special effect, "Prison of Separation," was triggered.

In the distant wilderness, the manager, who had been staring at Uesugi Tetsu with a mixture of resentment and fear, suddenly let out a sharp, mournful cry.

　5.2k, I haven't been in great form these past couple of days, but I'll gradually catch up later, orZ
