I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Suzuki Satoru fell into deep thought again, while Albedo's expression suddenly changed, as if she wanted to say something.

Mingxian did indeed shush her, signaling her to shut up.

Boom!

The drumbeats echoed, and Albedo immediately fell silent.

Suzuki Satoru asked directly, "What do I need to give in return? What do you want?"

Mingxian: "I don't need anything. I'd be happy if you were willing to torture the super-corporations that are panicking under the 'Moonlight Butterfly'."

“I understand, you want chaos.” Suzuki Satoru kept making guesses in his mind, weighing the pros and cons, and finally asked one question: “How can I trust you?”

Mingxian asked directly, "Are you going back or not?"

"..." Suzuki Satoru pondered for a moment, and finally said, "We really can't trust you. Your sudden appearance in front of us, claiming that you can let me go back, is such a coincidence that we can't help but wonder if it was all deliberate."

Mingxian: "..."

That's really being cautious.

It's really a battle of wits with thin air.

"Alright, then try your best to live well in this world."

As the words fell, the zither once again vanished into the wind and disappeared into the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

……

A spiritual breeze arose, and Mingxian appeared in the Temple of Infinite Time.

As a transit point, this place is indeed very suitable for moving around.

Upon entering the temple, Mingxian noticed that someone seemed to be approaching. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Sylvia and Claudia were having tea in the garden of the courtyard.

"Hello."

Mingxian went up to greet them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then transformed into the wind once more, entering World 492.

A day had passed by then.

Inside the shrine of demons, Yamada Ryo leaned against a wooden pillar, gazing at the crowd gathered before the bronze war drum.

A gentle breeze began to blow.

Naruto appeared beside Yamada Ryo and followed her gaze. "What are you looking at?"

"With your abilities, breaking into a house would be very convenient."

"I will think about it."

"Then I won't leave the door open for you tonight."

"Don't make it sound like we have a romantic relationship!"

Mingxian scoffed, only then noticing that in the center of the Ghost Society, in front of a huge bronze war drum, stood a girl, forcefully pounding the drum with drumsticks.

But no sound came out.

"It really didn't work after all!"

The girl with long red hair covered her head, showing no sign of discouragement.

"Sister, let me do it!"

A girl with purple pigtails, wearing the Haneoka school uniform, also stepped forward and raised her drumsticks, wanting to make a sound.

However, the bronze war drum did not respond.

Mingxian: "..."

Is there something wrong with my spell?

Because he was too lazy to find people to turn them into demons one by one, Naruhira set up some magic to attract qualified people to the demon shrine.

If you can make the bronze war drum sound, you can get the Joker.

However, Mingxian looked around.

Why are they all girls?

Is this a selection of warriors, or a selection of concubines?

Mingxian looked around and surprisingly found quite a few familiar faces.

"Kane-senpai, are you lost again?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the soft-spoken Matsubara Kanon immediately turned to look at Naruhira, then a smile bloomed on her face, "Narihira, you're here too, that's wonderful."

Mingxian: "Let's put that aside for now. How did you get here?"

"I don't know either. I was heading towards Yuqiu, but somehow I ended up here."

Didn't you ask anyone for help?

"I found...it."

Matsubara Kanon blushed slightly and nodded somewhat shyly, her eyes secretly glancing to the side.

A deep, unfathomable smile appeared on Chisato Shirahime's face as she said gently and politely, "I came to find Hanon, but I didn't expect there to be so many people here."

Mingxian looked around and found that there were indeed quite a few people here.

Moreover, many of them are members of girl bands that I know.

All five members of a certain "Sunset Red" band were present, along with the five members of the "Electric Power Saving" band, and the five members of the "Broken Pipa" band...

"you are?"

Mingxian looked at a girl with short hair.

She looked at Naruhira with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and then said, "Toyama Asuka, you're the legendary supernatural detective, right?"

"Did I originally have this setting?"

"Ugh?"

"It's nothing, I just travel a lot and forget about my job for a moment."

Mingxian coughed lightly, his eyes darting back and forth between Toyama Asuka and Toyama Kasumi, confirming that the two were sisters.

“Mingxian, classmate.”

Rikka Asahi then turned her gaze away from Poppin'Party. She walked over slowly at first, but after only two steps, she started to jog impatiently.

"You came too. If it's also Naruhira-kun, I would definitely come."

Mingxian: "Why do you say that?"

Rikka Asahi hesitated, like a startled little animal, and said, "Because there are many great musicians here, Naruzuru-kun will also be here."

“Yes, I’m also an online singer.” Mingxian remembered his account, “Masked SINGER”.

Suddenly I realize I have too many settings.

They have different identities in different worlds and are constantly running around, seemingly too busy to keep up.

"What's that?" Hachiman Kairin walked over slowly, carrying a bass box, and went straight to Naruhira. She had originally gone to support a band, but unexpectedly, she ended up at this ghost shrine.

She intuitively felt that Mingxian knew the answer.

Furthermore, among all these beautiful women, only Mingxian seems reliable.

Mingxian said directly, "It's just a ritual to select ghosts. As long as the [Ghost Drum] can resonate with a clear sound, one can become a ghost and embark on the path of exorcising demons."

Everyone immediately crowded around Mingxian.

"What? Can you tell me about it?"

"It sounds really exciting."

"Is just playing the drums enough?"

Surrounded by girls, Mingxian remained calm and even jumped onto the fence to explain the rules of the "warrior".

Make the [Ghost Drum] resound, obtain the Ghost card, and become the Ghost.

Use this power to destroy the demon.

"First of all, the 'ghosts' are officially employed. They receive a monthly allowance for settling down and a living allowance. In addition, they receive a commission for each demonized monster they defeat."

After explaining the benefits of "ghosts".

Some of the girls present were skeptical, while others wholeheartedly agreed.

And then there's the shouting and yelling.

"Wait a minute, aren't you the hero from back then?"

Everyone looked over at the same time, and saw Aya Udagawa covering her mouth, her eyes shining, and saying admiringly, "So amazing! To be in the boundless desert and eliminate countless gods, that's so cool!"

"It's him." Tomoe Udagawa, who was standing next to him, also came to his senses.

Mingxian looked around and confirmed that some of the people here were indeed descendants of gods.

Although not a member of the "spiritual network," he still survived, which is why he was able to see the scene of the final battle. However, unlike the psychics, he could not recognize Mingxian by sound or by seeing his face directly.

"That's about it. I also find these small fry boring and don't have the time, so I outsourced them," Mingxian said nonchalantly. "However, the selection process had some problems, which brought together musicians from the surrounding area."

"However, your music doesn't seem to be appreciated by the Bronze Drums."

"Not enthusiastic enough?"

"Lack of fighting spirit?"

"In short, it didn't get any recognition."

At this point, Mingxian paused for a moment before saying, "You are not qualified!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her crimson eyes lit up instantly, her red highlights swaying, and Miyuki Ran retorted defiantly, "She just doesn't know how to play the drums..."

“You can sing too,” Mingxian said. “Warriors or those with a good voice can play an instrument in front of the war drum and create a resonance to qualify. Those who can’t play an instrument can just hit the war drum.”

Without further ado, Mitake Ran said directly, "Alright, let's put on a performance."

"Come on."

Mingxian smiled, not believing at all that the girl in the wooden cabinet band could win the Joker.
