Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

These filthy and insane beliefs, mixed with vengeful spirits, rush into our cerebellum, instantly overwhelming and assimilating our consciousness, yet still retaining our most basic sense of self.

"What kind of severe punishments? Cruel tortures like mountains of knives and seas of fire? Yes, yes, these punishments are certainly worthy of them."

Chapter 341 Primate Garden

The gates of hell slowly closed.

The shrine did not take their lives, but instead granted them eternal life, something that ordinary people could only dream of.

As long as the Corpse and Excrement Hell exists, they will receive a continuous replenishment of their life force.

Life is not always a blessing; it can also be the beginning of suffering.

"Alright, now that some minor issues have been resolved, let's get back to what we were talking about earlier."

Jingu turned to look at Kajou Ruri, and the girl shook her head helplessly.

"If you want living souls, weren't those thousands of people just now? Why ask me for them?"

"Huh? No way, that's disgusting. It's something I need to use, how can this be allowed?"

I just went to Hell. First, I discussed with Ge Jing Liuli whether we could give him tens of thousands of living souls.

Then comes the real world to do this final thing.

"This thing was broken before. Although I repaired its outer shell, it needs a lot of living souls to nurture it to restore it."

Although I haven't been there yet, I have a general idea of ​​what it's like.

He meant...

Although no humans were seen, primates were present in various places.

However, Gejing Liuli refused to give it to them no matter what, saying that the number of souls in hell was completely counted and could not be changed at will.

As a vast world separated from Hell, the Underworld has always seemed to lack any real presence.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly say that?"

You probably already guessed that the Enma you complained about is no longer a member of the Shinto shrine, and has even revealed your previous report.

The shrine maiden took out the eight-foot-long magatama and casually tossed it to Kajō Ruri.

Kagami Ruri was completely unconcerned about the threat posed by the Shrine and returned the four-foot-long magatama to me.

"So you know that even the spirits of beings in the animal realm came from hell? That means they can use them?"

It seems that what was originally just a spur-of-the-moment decision is no longer necessary to visit the underworld.

There really isn't such a place where the living souls there could be considered to have owners.

He remains as stubborn as ever, refusing to compromise on matters of principle.

Gejing Liuli smiled and pointed out a bad place for the shrine.

Gejing Liuli asked a question.

But when Tian Gong first introduced the animal kingdom to me, he mentioned that primates are animals, and therefore also beasts.

"Friend? He's referring to Sato Sakurako, the one whose fan he stole?"

However, the shrine went to the animal realm several times but did not see any primates.

In response to the shrine's complaints, Kagome Ruri let out a hearty laugh.

Gejing Liuli stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

"Whether his threats mean nothing to you or not, whether he kills a thousand or ten thousand people, even if it starts a war, you will still care."

Ge Jingli glanced at me indifferently, then looked up and examined the small jade in her hand.

"It's just one of the businesses that made him famous, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him."

Ge Jing Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone devoid of any playfulness.

“You are not only a compassionate person, but also a Bodhisattva who is compassionate to all beings. You will only advise him if he kills to the point that the order of life and death is reversed and the cycle of reincarnation is out of balance.”

"A soul filled with sin and resentment will only pollute that jade."

"A piece of jade without any curse."

Hell will naturally bear the mark of hell, and the lost land of the underworld will naturally bear no trace of its master.

They imitated human wisdom, built cities of monsters in the animal kingdom, and formed gangs, giving rise to the so-called Seven Little Heavenly Kings of the Animal Kingdom.

“Things from hell will naturally bear the mark of hell, so how can we prevent them from being misused?”

The shrine recalled that if the animal spirits met the requirements, then the vast number of plant spirits besides flowers would naturally also be able to be.

"If you refuse to give it to me, then in order to restore this thing, I may have to kill more ordinary people."

Ge Jing Liuli smacked her lips, her eyes showing no sign of strangeness.

As for where the human spirits of the animal realm have gone, the shrine will naturally find out once the connection between the famous and the unknown is established.

"Ahem, of course. You've been to the Underworld before, and you wanted to take a look and meet a friend."

"He still needs to find a shortcut, either by sacrificing living people directly, or by waiting patiently; there are plenty of souls waiting in that world..."

"Tsk, he's still going to go and wreak havoc on this peaceful place, isn't he?"

"Actually, you complained to the Yama Hall a long time ago, but considering that this was only your personal matter, and that you had retreated into the mortal world on your own, the Yama Hall decided to ignore it."

"Bao Ji and Qi Ji, do you still remember the animal realm you belong to? The habitat of animal spirits, is there nothing else he wants outside of this realm?"

"These are all places where souls that have lost their minds and wander in seven different places return. In other words, they are not places like retirement homes for the elderly. So, he still wants to plunder them?"

"There's a problem. Those who leave hell are naturally pure souls that have been worn down to the point of being full of sin. They are simply divided into the underworld and the animal realm according to their inherent good or evil nature."

There are no Fury, beast-eared girls, or insect girls.

Suddenly, the shrine remembered the underworld, a realm with a barely perceptible presence.

Jingu coughed twice, indicating that he was not that kind of person.

The shrine maiden's expression was not strange at all.

Ge Jing Liuli didn't say anything, but your eyes clearly conveyed more than just the words "that's too beastly."

"Well, I just suddenly remembered that there really isn't a place where it isn't, and it's also very important to you."

“It’s useful. The souls of hell have already been branded with the mark of hell. Sin and filth are their essence, and they can nurture that jade.”

"His words reminded you that, besides the animal realm, the underworld also doesn't exist, right?"

Jingu stroked his chin, and after asking Hanayama-in Haru about Takatsukasa Masako's situation, he and Kajo Ruri disappeared from the mortal world.

It's unbelievable that the old woman's threat was actually true; you really did go and complain about a fan.

Sin does not refer to a person's inherent good or evil nature, but rather to everything that has been done. Hell only considers the actions, not the intentions.

"Use? What do you need a soul for?"

"Hiss, how come there are so few troublesome things?"

When the shrine maiden asked a question, she saw that Kagome Ruri looked rather helpless.

As Tian Gong said, humans, who occupy the position of primates in the present world, have become the objects of oppression in the upside-down animal world.

Jingu had heard of a building called "Priest Garden" from Princess Hōhime, Ibuki, Mushihime, and others on several occasions.

The only thing that Jingu didn't remember about it was Sato Sakurako; your fan is still outside Jingu.

"It's obvious that restoring that thing would require far fewer lives."

Chapter 342 Underworld

Underworld.

The darkness of night lingered over this place, with no measure of the passage of time.

There are neither stars nor moon in the sky, and the rising sun will never appear.

Beneath the tranquil darkness, white spirits, resembling mochi, floated aimlessly, emitting faint glows.

It is completely different from the savage animal kingdom and the cruel hell.

Tranquil, peaceful, and serene, without a trace of hostility.

Darkness was not like a terrifying monster, but a quiet and peaceful mother, protecting everything.

In this small, dark world, there is a manor that shines with light.

The cherry blossom trees, resembling withered trees, stretch for dozens of miles, yet on their bare branches bloom cherry blossoms that emit a faint glow.

Pink, purple, and pale white—the soft glow of the flowers, combined with the dreamlike fireworks lit by lanterns in the garden, illuminated the place.

"Oh well, let's keep drinking. We can worry about these headaches until we wake up."

Sakurako Sato knows who Yoshikawa is, what he wants to do, and what he can do.

Sakurako said angrily.

"Yakumo, why aren't you drinking?"

Before he could utter those words, the wine cup fell under the table, and Siyun vanished in an instant.

Beneath the large table, there wasn't a single wine cup with cherry blossoms floating on it, and there didn't seem to be any dampness left on the rim.

With a white jade pipe slung over her waist and a folding fan in her hand, Jingu Waka Jōruri retreated from the courtyard.

"You were alright just now, and you haven't left yet."

"My humble servant, what brings you here, once again?"

Sakurako Sato obediently stood up, pulling down the collar of her kimono and tightening the loose sash.

The four clouds drifted by in a single, fleeting phrase.

Jingu tapped his hand with his fan with regret.

Although you also come to the underworld many times, each time, the two of you would sit on a cherry blossom tree, leisurely drinking and chatting.

Before even seeing anyone, I heard the sound of a fan opening, and saw that I had many of these fans.
