I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

This answer seemed to be exactly what Mr. Buye wanted to hear.

He smiled contentedly, like a child.

They agreed that on the 357th day after tomorrow, they would bring their grandson to pay their respects.

He left a donation of 500,000 yen and then left the shrine.

This greatly shocked Shiraki Shun.

It wasn't because Mr. Buye was so generous.

If I had to say, it does account for a little bit.

More importantly, Shiraki Shun discovered that the people in this world did not seem to be resistant to the concept of spirits.

Seeing their loved ones ascend to heaven, they didn't question or deny it.

More than anything, there were feelings of emotion and blessings.

As for the reason for this

Shiraki Shun estimated that it might be related to the frequent occurrence of supernatural events and the rampant presence of monsters in this world.

People, to varying degrees, yearn to understand supernatural forces.

This is what brought fame to creators of ghost-hunting videos like Yuukawa Yaya.

Even the government has established a special department called Paranormal Section Six to deal specifically with paranormal phenomena.

Even so, Shiraki Shun knew that even a minor leader like Inspector Yamato in the Supernatural Division 6 did not possess any magical powers.

If you truly encounter a paranormal event, you can only seek help at shrines and ancient temples.

Moreover, after the incident involving Yuko Ishigami, Shun Shiraki felt that there might be monsters behind many of the supernatural ghosts and spirits in the past.

In addition, there are many unsolved murders, accidental deaths, and locked-room murders that have accumulated over the years and left the police baffled.

Now it seems that it is also filled with the shadow of monsters.

So they can do whatever they want in Tokyo?

Have you asked the gods if they will grant your request?

Shiramu Shun's expression turned cold.

He pulled a piece of shell from his pocket.

It was the same piece that fell from Yuko Ishigami yesterday.

How can we make it work?

He had been thinking about this problem during the day.

Now, I finally have a more mature idea.

Although there are no more clues to be found from the shell.

But perhaps, this shell itself is the most crucial thing.

After all, it must have been present when Yuko Ishigami was attacked and witnessed the scene.

Therefore, if it were possible to endow it with some basic intelligence through some means...

Perhaps we can follow the clues and catch the evil monster!

Magic might be able to do that!

Just like the mirror demon that once appeared in front of Shiraki Shun.

It has no organs in its body that sustain life like humans; it can speak human language solely through its demonic power.

Of course, Shiraki Shun didn't expect the shell to speak.

A simple response to his questions is sufficient.

For example, giving a thumbs up or making a facial expression is enough.

Even Shiramu Jun wasn't entirely confident of success.

This behavior is almost like giving life.

But since there are monsters now...

It wouldn't be too much to ask for a beetle that can display facial expressions, would it?

He closed his palms.

Slowly infuse magic power.

ten o'clock.

Fifty points.

100 points

Until one thousand mana points were injected.

The shell in my hand finally reacted.

At first, it was just a slight tremor.

Finally, it seemed like it was about to explode, unable to withstand the pressure any longer.

Taking advantage of Shiramu Jun's inattention, she suddenly sprang from his hand and landed on the ground.

Without making a sound, it mysteriously disappeared into the earth.

If Shiramoto Jun hadn't locked onto its location the moment it landed, he probably would have lost track of it.

He sensed that the carapace was moving at an extremely fast speed in a certain direction.

Where are we going?

under night.

In front of a screen filled with countless images.

A giant purple worm dressed in a suit leans back in a computer chair.

He wore a pair of glasses that looked like a detector over his left eye.

I'm leisurely watching the evening news.

Upon seeing some news related to himself, he chuckled.

Suddenly, the phone next to the computer rang.

"Hey, Chizu, how's your stock?"

"Don't worry, it's more than enough to get by," the centipede said with ill intent. "Three thousand people's worth of resentment, and that's still a lot over the limit."

The other person's tone remained unchanged.

"Don't be careless, I haven't been able to contact Qingfang for a while."

"Heh, who told it to like collecting underlings everywhere?" the centipede scoffed.

"There's probably a traitor among them, who colluded with those shrines to wipe them out in one fell swoop, right?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

You should still be more careful.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to take in some useless people as my subordinates."

The millipede said confidently.

"And my Earth Release technique is the fastest among all the A-rank yokai in Tokyo!"

"Besides, aren't there those stupid demons from the Gou faction taking the blame for us?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds, then hung up the phone.

The centipede chuckled, slowly opened its mouth, and tossed the phone inside.

Crunch, crunch, chewed up in a few bites.

He glanced smugly at the computer screen.

The entire Tokyo metropolis, except for myself.

Nobody knows where I'm hiding!

Chapter Sixty-Three: Mastering Core Technologies

The centipede considered himself a genius.

Because from the very beginning, its thinking was different from that of other monsters.

While other monsters were busy cultivating, fighting, and vying for territory in their lair...

The centipede, however, went to the temple in the nearby village every day to listen to human lessons.

At that time, all the monsters in the entire lair laughed at it, thinking that it had a problem with its brain and was cerebral palsy.

The centipede, however, disagreed.

After gaining some expertise, it wrote a letter of complaint and delivered it to the largest shrine in the area overnight.

When they saw their lair overturned, the monsters looked completely bewildered, while the centipede hiding nearby almost burst out laughing.

Even now, when I dream about it in my sleep, I wake up laughing.

That's absolutely hilarious.

After that, it defeated many more monsters one after another, steadily developing its own power, and finally became a great monster who brought glory to its ancestors.

The mountain where it lives is so remote that no human dares to set foot there.

Even the priests and monks in shrines and temples had to take a detour.

The Thousand-Legged Demon originally thought that he had reached the pinnacle of demon life.

On its 500th birthday, a female demon living in the city gave it a smartphone.

The centipede was astonished as it watched the female demon flaunt the phone's functions.

It realized that times had changed.
