Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Inspector Ishiguro didn't want to think about it anymore. He picked up the phone and dialed the official number of Sakuraba Shrine, shouting into the receiver, "Someone come and take your shrine's people back."

Shortly after, an official vehicle from Sakuraba Shrine pulled up at the Nerima Ward Police Station. Several priests got out, completed the formalities, and then took Noguchi Akihiko away from the police station and back to the shrine for further processing.

In the spider's view, Akihiko Noguchi, the "suspect" in the murder case, was taken away just like that.

However, it didn't matter to Makoto Araki. He wasn't a judge; he was just keeping an eye on the district police station.

So now Makoto Araki has a new idea: since this Priest Akihiko Noguchi insists that there are ghosts in the world, and he is also a high-ranking official of the shrine, if he is trained, could he be used for my purposes?

The idea is good, but Noguchi Akihiko is not a high-value target right now. Unlike Shimizu Suzune, he is not a broadcaster who can bring more "fear". We still need to wait and see.

With this in mind, Makoto Araki has now transferred Little Spider away from the police station and to Shimizu Suzune's dormitory to monitor her daily life and gather information about her upcoming broadcast.

On the right side of the Spider's vision panel, of course, is the vision of the Resurrection Incense, where you can see the traces of Yamamura Kikuko.

Kikuko Yamamura is currently inside a large amusement park, walking listlessly among the crowd, dressed only in an oversized white cloth, looking like a zombie.

However, compared to the rehabilitation training after my body was rebuilt last night, I'm much better now. If I study a little longer, I shouldn't be so stiff anymore.

I just don't know why Kikuko Yamamura came to the amusement park. Could it be that her enemy is here?

Makoto Araki continued to observe and discovered that Kikuko Yamamura did not seem to have any intention of seeking revenge. Instead, she went into the carousel and appeared to be talking to the staff.

"...Can I play on this?" Kikuko Yamamura asked, pointing to the carousel.

"You need to buy a ticket, please show your receipt!" replied the male staff member wearing a baseball cap.

Upon hearing this, Kikuko Yamamura's dull eyes suddenly flashed with a red light, and she asked again, "May I go in now?"

Under the allure of the red light, the staff member, who had appeared perfectly normal before, suddenly stiffened his facial muscles and body movements. He grinned and said, "Okay, please come in."

As expected of a carousel, this ride was packed with people, especially children and couples. As soon as Kikuko Yamamura entered, she was immediately jostled around by the crowd, feeling like her body was about to fall apart.

After everyone scrambled for it, only one red unicorn remained, and Kikuko Yamamura mechanically climbed onto it.

Are you angry?

angry.

However, Kikuko Yamamura had been sleeping underground for too long and had forgotten how humans express emotions, so she could only sulk in her heart.

But that is impossible.

For her.

If you have a grudge, settle it on the spot!

I will absolutely not keep it overnight!

With a ringing sound, the carousel began to turn amidst laughter and cheers.

The smiles on everyone's faces were because they had light in their hearts, but Kikuko Yamamura had no light in her heart, and her face only showed malice.

Not long after it started running, the lively and cheerful instrumental music playing on the carousel in the amusement park suddenly turned into a sinister tune.

Why does it feel so eerie?

"Admin, what's going on?"

"Oh my god! How terrifying!"

"I'm not playing anymore!"

Just when everyone was feeling dissatisfied and confused, something even more serious happened.

Centered on the carousel, the surrounding environment changes rapidly. In that instant, all the other attractions and people in the amusement park suddenly disappear into thin air!

Then, cemeteries took their place!

Yes, a cemetery!

This carousel somehow suddenly "displaced" into the cemetery!

What's even more puzzling is that since "spatial transfer" has already occurred, there should be no power supply, but the Trojan horse is still spinning!

Moreover, this rotation doesn't feel like an electric motor; it feels more like it's being driven by "human power," because the acceleration is very uneven!

In an instant, the carousel was filled with wails and cries of protest.

"My God, am I seeing a ghost?!"

"Mom, I want to go home!"

"Administrator, I've never heard of a carousel being a haunted house!"

"Calm down, this must be special effects!"

"Where's the administrator? Where did the administrator go?!"

Terror spread rapidly.

Some people wanted to dismount and explore the cemetery outside, but what happened next was even more terrifying.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting a grave, and a skeletal hand suddenly reached out from the cemetery!

This is not over yet!

Before the sound of thunder could be heard, another bolt of lightning struck, hitting the running carousel!

The carousel came to an abrupt stop.

A deafening lightning strike was imminent, and the ceiling of the carousel instantly exploded with sparks like venomous snakes, biting everyone present, regardless of age or gender.

Chapter 13 Deep in the Alley

The sparks were so fierce that it was difficult for anyone inside the facility to avoid injury; some were seriously injured and collapsed as if electrocuted, foaming at the mouth.

In slightly better cases, at least there are minor burns, and you can even smell the burning clothes in the air.

In short, in a very short moment, the carousel that was once like paradise turned into hell on earth.

Only one person, Kikuko Yamamura, was able to dismount the rocking horse with composure and elegance, leaving the facility without looking back.

This dramatic scene, personally staged by Kikuko Yamamura, was naturally captured by Makoto Araki through his vision of the Resurrection Incense.

He also saw that after Kikuko Yamamura left the carousel, the ride and the people inside were restored to their original state as an amusement park.

No, to call it "teleportation" would be more accurate to say it was just an illusion cast by Kikuko Yamamura on everyone.

However, none of these things were what Araki Makoto needed to consider. He discovered that the play that Yamamura Kikuko had just put on had actually increased his "fear" by dozens of units.

Although this unit's "fear" is slightly less than that obtained through live streaming, it has the advantage of a sustainable and independently operating mechanism.

In the system, Yamamura Kikuko, who was resurrected by the Resurrection Incense, is a high-level urban legend. Once she is born, she will not disappear even if Araki Makoto does not send spiders to monitor her.

In contrast, the previous ordinary ghosts needed to be constantly monitored by spiderlings, otherwise the ghosts would not be able to continue.

Ghosts are created quite a few times, but because their attacks are weak and their movement speed is slow, they can't scare many people at all.

Kikuko Yamamura is different. She was resurrected with hatred in her heart, and she even gave the citizens of Tokyo a "trump card" at the beginning, which directly proved her ability to increase revenue.

When talking about increasing revenue from "fear", we have to mention the item mall again.

Although most of the protective items can be purchased through this online store, everyday items cannot be bought there.

My shampoo is almost gone.

The shower gel is almost empty.

The towel was already tattered.

But Makoto Araki didn't have the money to buy it.

As a transmigrator who activated his cheat ability, Makoto Araki has been holed up in this rat-nest-like single apartment since the first day he arrived in this world, never seeing the light of day.

He doesn't need to go out.

He is currently unemployed.

There was no social interaction either.

I have no relatives or friends.

For him, the most useful thing right now is to earn more "fear" to unlock a higher level of the item shop and exchange for some artifacts that can strengthen himself.

That's right, a magical artifact.

He just checked again and found that to unlock the "Artifact" section in the item shop, he needed to accumulate 50,000 units of "Fear".

It's cumulative, not current.

This means that as long as Kikuko Yamamura or Suzune Shimizu can increase their income, Makoto Araki can glimpse the secrets of heaven!

So now that Araki Makoto has completely become a shut-in, since he's bored anyway, he might as well continue to use the vision of the Resurrection Incense to keep an eye on Yamamura Kikuko's every move.

Following the carousel accident, the amusement park management reacted swiftly, immediately shutting down all facilities and ceasing park operations.

As for the people in the park, they were promptly and orderly evacuated by the management, which of course included Kikuko Yamamura.

She walked among the crowd, like a junior or senior high school student, a small person, and she went unnoticed by anyone.

Kikuko Yamamura followed the crowd out of the amusement park and onto the nearby streets.

This is the city center of Nerima Ward. It was midday, and the weather was particularly hot and humid, so there weren't many vehicles or pedestrians on the street.

Kikuko Yamamura stopped there, looking up and trying to recall the location of her enemy.

As a result, she could only think of the general direction, not the exact location, and she couldn't even remember what her enemy looked like.

Firstly, she wasn't a low-level urban legend. If she were, she would have been able to float to that person's side with her remaining consciousness.

Secondly, precisely because she is a high-level urban legend, she has many things on her mind, and her brain hasn't been used for a long time, so she can't quite figure things out.

Even so, Kikuko Yamamura still didn't want to give up on revenge. She wandered aimlessly through the streets, searching for traces of her hatred.

Kikuko Yamamura continued walking, and then she turned into a small alley, her subconscious telling her that perhaps she could find her memories here.

Just as she wished, several tall and burly figures walked in from across the alley.

These were all men, dressed in black school uniforms, and appeared to be quite young. Their hair was dyed in various colors, and they were spouting vulgarities. From the moment they entered, the entire alley was filled with hostility.

The three walked side by side, and slowed down when they saw her.

They are ordinary people.

In Kikuko's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world: ordinary people and herself.
