"What are you going to do tonight...?"

A light, almost emotionless sentence.

The contents of that document, however, raised questions for everyone.

It was 7 p.m.

Manami Aragaki woke up as if on cue.

Then he went outside, just like an ordinary traveler who went out to find food because he was hungry.

It was true; he bought a skewer of grilled meat tendons from a barbecue stall and ate it slowly.

Afterwards, we slowly and gradually arrived at the entrance of the very brightly colored Fengdu Ghost City.

Yes, that's right, vibrant!

Now that we live in modern society, this ghost town is no longer what it used to be; it's now a "gimmick" that attracts countless tourists!

You can tell just by looking at the excited and curious expressions on the faces of the group of young men and women.

Aragaki Manami quietly watched the bright and peculiar psychedelic lights, secretly shaking his head. Just as he was about to use his Qi to find the node of Fengdu, his expression suddenly froze.

"You can't use your strength?"

The mysterious and profound binding force suddenly tightened around him like an invisible and eerie chain.

In other words.

The plan to spy on the underworld was interrupted before it even began?

“The power unleashed by the day of destiny can still be suppressed.” Aragaki Manami was not discouraged and immediately accepted this fact.

Life is full of disappointments.

If this doesn't work, then Japan, other East Asian countries, Europe and America...

He vaguely understood something, but didn't delve into it further.

After that, he turned around and went straight back to the hotel to sleep.

The group of people watching the live stream with wide eyes were all stunned—was this a waste of their emotions?

Immediately, the person who was in a bad mood started cursing and was then permanently banned.

The next day.

Having managed to snag a plane ticket using the same method, he estimated the time and took his suitcase to stroll around the antique street near the hotel. Not long after, he spent 50 yuan to buy a broken stone carving and took the high-speed rail back the way he came.

When I returned to Japan, it was already late at night.

Back at her residence, after putting her luggage aside, Manami Aragaki sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, closed her eyes, and focused her mind on communicating with the invisible markings on her hands.

He rarely communicates with the markings on his hands unless absolutely necessary.

Because this engraving, which was formed from an ancestral jade pendant, has a storage function, it also contains many items that were originally stored inside, as well as various items collected by Aragaki Manami.

However, each time it is removed, it will inevitably deplete some of one's own essence and blood.

"Although it didn't reach the point of severe damage, my combat strength was reduced by 20%, and I will need to take good care of my body afterwards."

Manami Aragaki slowly opened her eyes, looking at her right hand, which was emanating a strange blood aura.

In a short while, a jet-black katana measuring three feet three and a half inches appeared before him.

At the same time, a pitch-black token emanating a faint, dark aura floated in mid-air.

“All roads lead to Rome, so let’s start from here for now…” Aragaki Manami thought to himself.

With a slight lift of the right hand, a vibrant crimson hue appeared at the tip of the index finger.

He placed his index finger on the tip of the black katana and began to smear it along the blade.

The pitch-black token was spinning on its own, exuding an innate majesty and emanating an eerie aura that seemed to change the color of everything around it.

Even the light seemed to have lost some of its original qualities.

“Ye Jiu Mao Duo Du, Yi Dou Mao Ye Bi He Qi, Du Ma Qi Wei Er, Ye Bi He Qi Du Jiu Liu, Zeng Neng Ye Bi He Qi Yuan.

An ancient and obscure waka poem was sung by Aragaki Manami, carrying a mysterious charm.

The solemn atmosphere only intensifies the poetic charm that permeates even those who cannot understand the words.

As he chanted, everything within a five-meter radius of him became like dark water, unreal and illusory, losing its original color and seemingly beginning to overlap with the domain of the black token.

Chilling cold!

icy!

majesty!

At some point, Aragaki Manami, holding a jet-black katana, began to gaze intently at the jet-black token.

The live stream chat started flooded with messages.

Why is it running around? Also, what kind of sword is that? What kind of token is that? What song is that? Can anyone analyze this?

[This is a katana! This is our unique weapon! Don't tell me it's a Tang sword or a horizontal sword! Open your eyes and look! It's a curved blade with an arc shape!]

[That's not all! The incantation, or rather the song, that Aragaki Manami sang was practically identical to our waka! But I must say, it was really beautiful.]

[That looks amazing! I really love seeing Aragaki-sensei use magic.]

It appeared to be a victory for the Yingzhou people in the live stream.

Incidentally, there's always a group of people in the live stream arguing all day long about Aragaki Manami's place of origin.

however.

All this arguing couldn't affect Aragaki Manami in the slightest.

He slowly raised the black katana in his hand, gathering his strength.

The jet-black katana is the [Ama-no-Murakumo], also known as the [Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi], which he obtained in the engraving space.

And the pitch-black token.

It was something he obtained from his original world.

It wasn't until recently that he slowly began to understand what the token was—the [Spirit Patrol Token]!

Spirit patrol.

They are the liaisons and facilitators between mortals and the underworld.

His goal was simple—he wanted to go to the unclaimed underworld and gradually take control of everything.

Yes, the unclaimed underworld.

Because of his special destiny, he is skilled in using techniques to communicate between the human and ghost realms and can clearly sense the existence of the underworld.

Now that the other continent isn't feasible, let's start here.

Take it one step at a time.

Chapter 11 Peeping into the Japanese Underworld! The Spirit of the Cloud Kingdom

“Yokumodoto, Izumoyobi Heki.”

The ancient songs are still being sung.

The dark and eerie aura emanating from the Ama no Kusanagi in Aragaki Manami's hand grew increasingly intense.

A strong and profound historical atmosphere!

An inexplicable and eerie mystery!

【Ama-no-Murakumo】, also known as 【Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi】.

Although he didn't know why there was a sword inside the engraving, he hadn't originally planned to use it.

Because he obtained a sword in the original world by chance, which he believed was no worse than the Kusanagi sword, a famous Chinese sword.

Yes.

Why would someone with a famous Chinese sword use a Japanese sword? It just doesn't seem to fit the style at all.

But now is not the time to think about such things.

"It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!" There's no denying that Manami Aragaki is that kind of person.

His selfishness and utilitarianism are perfectly natural and understandable; it's quite normal for him to do this.

Therefore, he felt no psychological pressure at all in using the Kusanagi sword as his personal weapon.

By the way.

The task at hand is simple: make Ama no Kusanagi devour the [Spirit Patrol Token] in front of him.

The main purpose is to devour its ability to freely travel between the human and underworld realms! In order to intervene in the Japanese underworld through its mythological essence!

Tensakumo (Ama-no-Murakumo)

It is the sword of Susanoo, one of the three noble sons.

It is a divine sword, and also a legendary sword with strong mythological attributes.

Most importantly, Susanoo, the lord of the Kusanagi.

Susanoo can be respectfully called "Susanoo-no-Mikoto".

He can be said to be the most important figure throughout Japanese mythology, namely the Takamagahara myth, and the multifaceted nature of his mythology gives rise to infinite possibilities.

Even in the underworld, the "Land of the Dead," His presence can be found.

and so……

Aragaki Manami wants to use the Kusanagi Ama as a medium to gradually come into contact with the legendary qualities of Susanoo, and even his divine powers.

It may even reach a point where it can continue as a medium.

Finally, they will gain complete control!

of course.

If he hadn't confirmed through various means that there were no gods or anything like that in this world, he might not have dared to think this way, or even take the first step.
