A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 96 Another peaceful day (just kidding)
"I'm back,"

When Inoue Kaori hurriedly pushed open the door of the 'Akizuki' house, she saw her younger sister bowing and Akizuki Ritsu already sitting in the kitchen.

"Welcome back, sister."

They all had keys to Qiuyue's house, so coming and going here was just like coming from their own home.

"Breakfast is ready, would you like to eat together?"

Qiuyue Li waved from inside the restaurant.
".OK."

Kaori Inoue had just rushed back from Osaka and was also hungry.

And she doesn’t know if it’s just her imagination, but she feels like she has a big appetite lately: maybe it’s because she’s been working late into the night?

Last night's battle wasn't particularly intense for Inoue Kaori, but it lasted a long time, not until the sun rose in the morning that the 'hundred demons' dispersed. What on earth were those high and mighty 'gods' doing?
"Last night, a supernatural disaster called 'Hyakki Yagyō' (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) also occurred in Osaka."

While eating, Inoue Kaoru read the news.

Since she personally woke up Brother Lu, he definitely doesn't know what happened yet.

"In this disaster, a new 'hazardous site' phenomenon was added, classified as Level D,"

"It is a projection of nine haunted locations in Osaka. Once you enter, there is absolutely no chance of survival for an ordinary person."

In just a few hours, various intelligence reports and countermeasures regarding the disaster have been released: it doesn't matter if things are slow normally, but if there is any further delay at this time, who knows how many more people will die.

"Therefore, the government ordered the destruction of various 'paranormal sites' and strictly prohibited the spread of such information online."

Upon reading this, even Inoue Kaoru, a junior high school student, couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't this just treating the symptoms, not the root cause?"

It seems like the source of the "haunted place" has been cut off, but it's just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand: the real culprit is ultimately Abe no Seimei's "Twelve Shikigami".

"There's nothing we can do. The government can't even defeat the Twelve Shikigami, let alone Seimei."

Qiu Yuelu, who was indifferent to the matter, shrugged calmly.

“In this situation, we are willing to try any method that can weaken the ‘Night Parade of One Hundred Demons’.”

"But why is this happening?"

After turning off her phone, Inoue Kaoru was somewhat puzzled.

"Lord Seimei, wasn't he the one who protected Heian-kyo according to legend?"

Why is the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" being held in the island nation, causing widespread panic and resulting in heavy casualties every time?

Even island nations surrounded by the sea have means of transportation such as airplanes and ships; island nations have seen large numbers of refugees fleeing, either by private planes or by various fishing boats and transport ships.

After a long period of peace, who would want to go to the battlefield?

Over the course of three years of fighting in the Ermao region, more than ten million people disappeared.

Even if the casualties are calculated in millions, there are still nine million left.

That's obviously an escape.

On the contrary, Russia, after three years of fighting, has gained several million more people, not counting the four states it just occupied. On the one hand, the crisis stimulated the human instinct to reproduce; on the other hand, the policy of offering foreign mercenaries in exchange for family immigration was very attractive to the residents of the chaotic Middle East.

Island nations are now facing a large-scale exodus of people.

"It is said that a single 'ticket' has sold for two million yen."

Wow, that's expensive.

Qiu Yuelu also exclaimed in surprise, "Reading it with utmost care!"

Converted to US dollars, that's around 13,000, which is no small sum, and it's just for one person.

"Other countries may not be very safe in the future either."

As for Akizuki Ritsu's "prophecy," what are Abe no Seimei's plans?

"Perhaps that great Onmyoji wants to make the people of this world stronger?"

Spiritual energy is reviving, and the world is upgrading.

As for the 'wear and tear' during the process, that's perfectly normal.

"What Brother Lu said is very likely."

Kaori Inoue thought for a moment. As an 'insider,' she had been to the battlefield several times and vaguely sensed that with the power of those three 'nobles,' 'Gouchen,' and a certain unknown child shikigami, they could easily behead the island nation's government.

Then destroy the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces: this will immediately throw the island nation into chaos.

Even if nothing is done afterward, the death toll will still be in the tens of millions.

Because when humans are in crisis, they will frantically unleash their desires.

However, those three gentlemen seemed to be intentionally maintaining the 'intensity' of the disaster, which, even if explained as military training, was somewhat untenable.

"If you can't figure it out, just let it go. Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

Kaori Inoue gave a wry smile at Ritsu's words.

The question is:
She is 'tall'.

Sigh, I really can't tell Brother Lu that I have to bear all of this myself!

"You ask me what this country's 'legendary grand mage' is up to?"

"Yeah, that guy is causing a 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' everywhere."

"What do you want to do?"

On the highway outside Osaka city,
A bicycle is speeding along at 50 miles per hour.

For regular cycling, the average speed is around 24 km/h; being able to maintain 50 km/h is already at the top level of racing cycling.

Without a doubt, the 'cyclist' wearing a helmet and goggles, with a cello case hanging on the back of his bicycle, is none other than 'Rei' who left Osaka.

"What else could it be besides 'killing and stealing souls' and 'restoring strength'?"

The 'Siegfried' attached to the dragon's body answered casually.
"The magic of the entire world is beginning to recover, but it is still too weak."

"For the strong, it's like a once-dried-up lake filling up with puddles again."

After all, he was a 'great hero' from a thousand years ago, and Siegfried's memories contained numerous explanations about supernatural powers:

"To survive in limited water, you have to devour those shrimp, no, those plankton."

In the face of supernatural beings, ordinary people are nothing but shrimp.

The whole world is now helpless against the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons':
If this disaster were to occur in any city, the situation would not be much better than in an island nation.

"Or, let the water gather in one place."

"Is this why you sent me to Tokyo?"

Ryou, who was pedaling her bicycle with all her might, immediately thought of the purpose of her trip. "Exactly,"

Siegfried did not hide anything.
"Head to Tokyo, where the concentration of magic is higher, which will allow you to improve your strength faster."

"But there are also many more supernatural powerhouses—"

Fully dressed in cycling gear, Ling calmly pointed out,
She's not stupid; a stupid person wouldn't be able to study at Osaka University.

"That's right, strength and weakness are concepts derived from comparison: only by defeating the strong can one prove one's own strength!"

And the 'Siegfried' inside the body gave this answer without any surprise.

"Or are you scared?"

"Of course I'm scared,"

The 'Ling', struggling to pedal, couldn't help but roll its eyes.
"Do you think I'm some kind of great hero?"

"lie,"

Unfortunately, the other party immediately saw through his deception.

"Woman, aren't you full of energy?"

The fact that she could pedal the bicycle at 50 mph was not only due to the female college student's supernatural body, but also to her own will; otherwise, constantly controlling Ryou's body would be extremely taxing for Siegfried.

"Because I also want to have the power to put my will into practice."

Ling wasn't so easily forgiven for the betrayal of her "good sisters," but after "taking down" those dozen or so men, she still couldn't bring herself to kill the female classmate who was begging for mercy.

"If there are no supernatural disasters,"

"If I were stronger, they wouldn't have to do this."

Not everyone dares to stand up and fight when faced with a crisis; Ling doesn't blame them, but is dissatisfied with her own weakness.

"Haha, the reason doesn't matter!"

Siegfried's view on this was:

"As long as you have enough power, you can do whatever you want; that's the true meaning of freedom!"

"Let's head to Tokyo and make a big splash!"

"you shut up!"

Ling no longer wanted to hear the word "dry" that Siegfried was referring to.

Being dragged along by this guy to fight Odin is enough to make anyone despair; I hope there are exorcists in Tokyo who can shake this guy off.

"what?!"

Jiang Kou scratched his head as he scrolled through his phone after waking up.

"A disaster of 100 demons parade in Osaka?"

That's really...

Even if he wanted to help, he was 500 kilometers away, and by the time he arrived by motorcycle, it would already be daytime.

In fact, the island nation's government had already investigated him, but Eguchi was no longer the powerless biker gangster he once was; based on the strength he displayed in Tokyo's "Hyakki Yagyō" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), the Metropolitan Police Department determined him to be an E+ level supernatural being.

Although they didn't know how the boy acquired his power, the Metropolitan Police Department refrained from taking any rash action at Chief Inspector Fujita's behest, because:

Knock knock knock,

"Jiangkou, that's me."

There was a knock on the door of the studio apartment.

"Ajian?"

"You bastard, what are you doing here?"

Upon opening the door, Eguchi, still wrapped in bandages, looked displeased: right outside was Ken, who had 'betrayed' him and joined the Metropolitan Police Department.

"You saved me last time, but I didn't have time to thank you."

Despite Eguchi's displeased tone, the young policeman Ken wasn't angry.

On one hand, he had betrayed this 'brother' before; on the other hand, he came here with a mission.

"The Metropolitan Police Department has paid salaries, look."

Ah Jian pulled out a thick envelope and smiled as he gestured to it.

"It's my treat today, you can eat whatever you want!"

? !
Hearing this,

Jiang Kou, who had been wearing a sour face, softened his expression under the bandages.

"I have a rather large appetite."

His master hasn't contacted him these past two days; he doesn't know what the master is doing.

Although I had a 'sparring' with my senior sister, I couldn't possibly ask for a reward after beating her up, could I?

Therefore, Eguchi's terrifying appetite has led to him running out of money and he needs to consider getting a job.

"It's okay, eat as much as you want!"

Having received A-Jian's promise, Eguchi thought about it for a moment and then:
"That's what you said."

"Inspector A-Jian has made contact with the target,"

"Even if he didn't do that, given Mr. Eguchi's personality, he would still help us withstand supernatural disasters, right?"

In the Metropolitan Police Department's command center, several psychology experts were talking in hushed tones.

Their role is simply to build mental models and offer advice.

Ultimately, the decision was made by Director Fujita.

"Hana, how are your two friends?"

"Not very good,"

When questioned by the director, Miyako Kana, her face pale, replied:
"They were seriously injured in the battle with the 'liger' and will be unable to go on missions for a short period of time."

"Yes, let them get some rest."

The two chatted idly, never mentioning the superhuman strength that Pegasus Nozomi and Iori Kazuka had displayed.

Some things don't need to be said; as long as they can be used by the government, Director Fujita can turn a blind eye.

The director didn't know, no, neither did Miyako Hana.

Iori Kazuka has obtained a 'great opportunity'!
