A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 113 Purpose
"Tokugawa, your courage is commendable, but you should still give up."

Unexpectedly, this scene unfolded before Qiu Yueli's eyes, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

You can't beat me.

"Are you so confident?"

Tokugawa Mitsuko bit her lip. Of course she knew her behavior was 'despicable'; but during this time, Kaori had been by this man's side every day, and even when she was with him, she was talking about him.

Seeing Kaori happy, Tokugawa Mitsuko was naturally happy too.

But the thought that all of this was because of others made the girl feel pain again.

This kind of entanglement and struggle—

“Qiuyue, you should have heard the proverb, ‘Dragons do not live with snakes, and tigers do not walk with dogs.’”

The girl with long, straight black hair tried to persuade them, saying that for snakes and dogs, dragons and tigers were too dangerous: even a simple turn could be fatal. Moreover:

"The dangers that Kaori will encounter are beyond your imagination."

Young girl, quite the opposite;

Qiu Yuelu remained silent; all of that was his doing.

"If it were someone else, I would have already given that 'wicked smile' by now."

Then the 'Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King' scene unfolded; calmly taking a sip of juice, Akizuki Ritsu raised his chin at Tokugawa Mitsuko, whose face was tense.

"You should say these things to Kaori, shouldn't you?"

He pondered the Autumn Moon Law in secret.

its not right,
He did indeed give Kaori a 'lucky fruit'.
Look over there, those three girls are chatting happily with Kaori, it's like they're having a 'King of Ten Thousand Women Fruit'.

Is charm also affected by 'luck'?

But it doesn't matter,
I still advise you to give up.

Instead of spending time thinking about these things, why not consider enhancing your supernatural powers?

He's Kaori's friend, otherwise she would have slapped him long ago.

? !
Surprise crossed Tokugawa Mitsuko's face.

As her 'best friend,' she knew very well that Inoue Kaori had been keeping it a secret from her boyfriend because she didn't want him to take any risks with her.

At this banquet, everyone was even specifically instructed not to mention their abilities in front of their 'boyfriends'.

But the man in front of me said something about enhancing supernatural powers.

That is to say-

"you"

Everyone has secrets.

Raising the juice in his hand, Akizuki Ritsu smiled without saying a word.

It seems tonight's plans are ruined, but it doesn't matter, plans are all about his mood.

Speaking of which, it's about time we did something—most supernatural beings are now under government control, and Akizuki Ritsu has to 'play' the role herself every time a disaster strikes. It's time to strengthen the villainous faction.

"Alright, let's enjoy the banquet."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The banquet was held at the Tokugawa residence.
When entertaining the public about 'supernatural beings among the people';
On the other side of the island nation, in another city within the Osaka metropolitan area, an experiment is underway.

Kyoto City,

That is, Heian-kyo a thousand years ago, also known as Luoyang or Kyoto-kyo. In the history of the island nation, the "going to Luoyang" that the daimyo shouted every day meant to enter Heian-kyo, become the shogun or regent, and sit in the position of "the ruler of the land".

As for the royal family?

Ever since the Taira clan brought a sword to the palace a thousand years ago, it has become a mascot.

It might stand up for a moment now, then lie back down obediently.

Kyoto City,
This ancient capital, with a history spanning thousands of years, is located inland.

Furthermore, the subsequent rise of Osaka along the coast drew firepower from the region.

On the contrary, it was not damaged much. Everywhere there are century-old Buddhist pavilions and millennium-old shrines; courtyards, paper fans, torii gates, kimonos, and masks are the symbols of this city.

now,

In 'Seimei Shrine',

An 'experiment' led by the Metropolitan Police Department is being conducted in secret.

The so-called 'Seimei Shrine' is the former residence of Abe no Seimei, who lived a thousand years ago. It was expanded and enlarged by his descendants, eventually becoming a huge shrine.

The enshrined figure is none other than the most powerful Onmyoji in history! After the Tsuchimikado family was forcibly disbanded, it was opened as a 'tourist attraction'.

This shrine now,

It has long been under the control of the island nation's government.

Forget about tourism; anyone who tries to approach this area will be stopped, arrested, and interrogated!
Inside the main hall of the shrine, a group of people dressed in white hunting robes and wearing tall black hats, dressed as Onmyoji (yin-yang masters), were gathered in a circle with serious expressions.

The Kurahashi and Kimimei families are descendants of Abe no Seimei. As a large family that has been passed down for thousands of years, they are just a few of the branches with the purest bloodline. If necessary, the island government can also bring in other collateral branches.

However, in that case, the quantity would have to be counted in the thousands or tens of thousands.

"The sixty-seventh experiment begins."

Following orders from the Metropolitan Police Department, these 'Onmyoji' began to take action.

As they walked around the main hall, they chanted incantations, the secret spells for subduing demons left behind by Abe no Seimei:

Although the content consisted of ancient blessings and warnings, more like a song about how to conduct oneself in life, no one dared to be careless; they all recited it in a deep voice.

In the center of the main hall,

A huge pentagram pattern is drawn on it.

This is a 'Kikyo Seal', with its five corners representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

A lit oil lamp is placed in the fire position, a dish of clear water is placed in the water position, a leaf picked from the courtyard is placed in the wood position, an antique gold coin is placed in the metal position, and a small stone is placed in the earth position.

these things,

Each and every one of them has a great connection with Abe.
Only a place like Kyoto, with its thousand-year history, could gather all these 'mediums'.

At the center of the pentagram is a 'Shikigami Contract Talisman' written in cinnabar, with two large characters written on it in a flamboyant style:

Six Harmonies!

Jingle bell~~
Holding a Kagura bell and shaking it, the head of the Kurahashi family, who has reverted to the Abe surname, solemnly bowed to the five directions as the officiant of the ceremony, and then:

"Buzz, soldiers, fighters, all, arrayed, in front!"

This is the Nine Syllable Mantra.

It can cut through space and establish barriers.

That's at least what's written in ancient books. As for why Japanese Onmyoji, Buddhists, and even ninjas use the 'Nine Syllable Mantra,' that's another question altogether.

Other Onmyoji scattered leaves, quickly covering the center of the magic circle with a layer of green.

The six elements are associated with wood, and yin and yang are considered auspicious. (Legend has it that...)

Among the shikigami under Abe no Seimei,

The one with the best personality.

"Born of the spirit of heaven and supported by the power of earth."

"The five elements generate each other, and the stars and the universe echo each other."

"There is a covenant here, and this talisman serves as proof. My true name is Liuhe—" The Cangqiao family head uttered a low murmur.

"Show yourself immediately, and obey my command! So be it!"

At the end of "Koukou Beef Tenderloin", the head of the Kurahashi family points the Tsuchimikado folding fan, which was passed down to the Abe family, towards the magic circle:
quite a while,

He remained completely unresponsive under everyone's gaze.

"call,"

With a long sigh of relief, the head of the Kurahashi family couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Because of the activities of "Nobleman", "Gouchen", and another "Twelve Shikigami", these "descendants of Abe" are actually in a very awkward position.

On one hand, their own 'ancestor's' stirring up trouble has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries in the island nation, almost like a war; on the other hand, the other side has not contacted them, their descendants, and has not even responded to the ancestral ritual of summoning shikigami.

In order to preside over the ceremony, he even obtained a 'super injection', but unfortunately, he still failed.

This left the 'descendants of Abe' feeling both fear and joy, sorrow and melancholy.

"The sixty-seventh experiment failed."

Regardless of the complex feelings of these descendants of Abe,
The Metropolitan Police Department officials calmly made their conclusions.

"Change the medium, start again"

"Don't waste your energy, you idiots."

? !
Just as the many shamans were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a childish voice rang out.

"With your pathetic spiritual power, you think you can summon us?"

brush,

Everyone turned and looked up at the center of the magic circle:
A little girl wearing a loose orange-yellow hunting robe and with thick bangs floated above the formation!

"Like a monkey reading a book, it's laughable."

Amidst the childish laughter, the little girl stretched out her limbs, a half-smile playing on her lips.

???

"Your Excellency is... you are Lord Liuhe?"

Upon seeing the little girl, the head of the Cangqiao family quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

The other party is Abe no Seimei's shikigami, not theirs! Judging from their tone just now, they don't take their descendants seriously at all.

But that's okay,
Isn't this 'summoned' out?
It doesn't matter why the other party shows up, as long as we can communicate.

"A descendant of Abe greets Lord Rokugo, a subordinate of our ancestor."

"A descendant of Abe greets Lord Rokugo."

"A descendant of Abe greets Lord Rokugo."

The other Onmyoji also bowed and clasped their hands, while the Metropolitan Police Department personnel nearby immediately knelt down and bowed their heads.

During the Heian period, the Abe family was a standard aristocracy—Abe no Seimei's father was also a descendant of the emperor: although he was only a kitchen steward, he was still a government official.

Given the values ​​of that era, one could not kneel before nobles, and even being killed in the street would not elicit any complaints!

"You guys,"

The little girl had a delicate face and a clear voice, but her words sounded prematurely mature.

"Instead of focusing on your cultivation, you're just doing this here, which is a disgrace to Lord Seimei."

"That's what the adults taught you."

The head of the Kurahashi family bowed even lower; the other party was a being from a thousand years ago.

Given Abe no Seimei's status in mythology, his twelve shikigami could be called 'divine generals'; most of the 'gods' of Takamagahara probably couldn't defeat them.

Having just gained 'supernatural powers', how could the head of the Kurahashi family dare to be presumptuous in front of this person?
"Head of the Kurahashi family, inquiring about important matters."

Through the earpiece, I heard the urgent orders from the Metropolitan Police Department.

If the Metropolitan Police Department can't handle the Twelve Shikigami, can't it handle the 'Descendants of Abe'?
If you dare not give it your all, I'll kill your whole family!
"Lord Liuhe,"

The head of the Kurahashi family had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"I have some questions, and I hope you can enlighten me, sir."

"explain,"

Unlike the scholarly Kurahashi family head, the little girl 'Rokugo' is very colloquial.

It even had a distinct 'Osaka accent'.

"What is the purpose of you gentlemen?"

"What is it?"

The moment I asked that question,
The head of the Kurahashi family held his breath, and even his heartbeat seemed to stop.

Meanwhile, in the director's office in Tokyo, the director, who rushed over without even having time to change his clothes, snatched the headphones away.

This is the biggest and most critical issue facing the island nation right now—a supernatural disaster!

Why were the 'Guardians of Heian-kyo' from a thousand years ago—

A hundred ghosts parade everywhere?
"The answer is simple, didn't you all guess it already?"

The girl, suspended in mid-air, swung her toes with a smile.

"Of course, it's to revive Lord Seimei!"

really,

According to the analysis of experts at the Metropolitan Police Department, this answer has a probability as high as 81%.

If it were just one or two shikigami, it might be their personal will; but if several shikigami do the same, it means they have a unified goal.

The only one who can unite the 'Twelve Shikigami' is:
The strongest Onmyoji in history!

"That"

Urged on by Director Fujita, the head of the Kurahashi family, sweating profusely, asked the second question:
How many offerings are needed?

Even the mighty America was utterly defeated by 'Gou Chen'.

One reason the Seventh Fleet chose to leave in the face of the 'Fairy Tale Army' was this: if the fighting continued, it would attract 'Gouchen' and 'Nobleman', and would the Seventh Fleet still have a chance to exist?
Don't wait until then,
Bringing the war to America would be a losing proposition.

Now, the island nation's government's plans are very clear.

Since we're all going to die anyway, why not:

"If you don't mind, we are happy to offer it to you."

The head of the Kurahashi family said this quite fluently; anyway, this is the government's intention, and if that Lord Seimei were to return, they, the descendants of Abe, would immediately be the elite!

That's right. Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well use the opportunity to curry favor with that important person.

The people who would have sacrificed themselves would have been willing to do so.

The island nation once shouted the slogan "One hundred million people die for the emperor," and now it's just a rehash of their traditional skills.

"You guys do it?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, a hint of surprise flashed across the little girl's face.

"About half."

How many? !
Half of that is fifty million.

In an instant, even the head of the Kurahashi family felt his hands and feet turn cold.
