Upon entering, Ooi Yutomi began to look around the office and asked, "Well? Where is Lord Uesugi?"

Shimizu Suzune didn't answer, but stood up directly, "I'll take you somewhere."

With a wave of her hand, a dazzling divine light shone from behind her, then completely engulfed her and Ooi Yushin.

Caught off guard, Ooi Yushin instinctively closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he was already in a fairyland.

Yes, a fairyland. Only such an exaggerated word could Ooi Yuomi use to describe this wondrous place.

However, more than the "fairyland," what Yushin Ooi cared about were the magical artifacts floating in front of him.

Shimizu Suzune pointed to the thousands of divine artifacts floating in the air, "Choose one."

Ooi Yushin reached out to feel the properties of these divine artifacts, and soon he held a longsword in his hand.

Yuomi Ooi immediately read out the name of this divine weapon: "Ten-Fist Sword".

Ten-fist sword.

In Japanese mythology, its original owner was Izanagi, and it was later given to Susanoo, the younger brother of Amaterasu.

This Susanoo used the Totsuka Blade to successfully slay the boss, Yamata no Orochi.

This divine weapon is considered one of the better ones among all the divine weapons, but its power is still inferior to that of the Kusanagi Sword.

In terms of divine power alone, the Ama-no-Murakumo sword wielded by Fujita Mino is undoubtedly in the top tier.

The second tier consists of the two sacred weapons wielded by Shimizu Suzune: the Dark Bow and the White Blade.

The third group consists of Jun Morita's Raikiri and Risa Ishikawa's Enmusubi.

So the question is, in which tier does Yuomi Ooi's Totsuka Sword belong?

—The second tier.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that now that Ooi Yushin has received the power bestowed by the Supreme God, he is already considered a member of the Divine Messenger, and Shimizu Suzune is going to take him back to the Shinto Hall to start his job.

With a wave of his hand, the virtual shrine's divine realm quickly receded, restoring the original office.

At this moment, Ooi Yushin was still immersed in the joy of obtaining a new identity and new weapons, and did not expect that he had returned.

Ooi Yuomi deeply admired Shimizu Suzune's "magic tricks" and the divine artifact she bestowed upon her.

He even knelt down and kowtowed to Shimizu Suzune: "Thank you so much for your guidance, senior! I will certainly live up to your expectations, God and senior!"

"Hey, get up quickly..." Shimizu Suzune couldn't accept his kowtow and quickly helped him up.

Then he said, "Let me take you to register, and you can also get to know the director and the other divine messengers."

"Ok."

"..."

The Shinto Hall has gained an additional force, seemingly turning the tide in their battle against Hanako Sachiko, but that is not the case.

The forces of the ghosts are also constantly strengthening. First, there is the Mirage Tower, which is lurking at the bottom of the sea and is about to complete its final preparations to transform into a new Ghost King.

Besides the Mirage Tower, there is another demon king, Hell Girl Enma Ai, so it can be said that the three demon kings are all on the same stage.

In particular, Hell Girl Enma Ai is now eager to join Hanako Sachiko's team to fight against the divine messenger, or to appear when they are both exhausted and steal the fruits of their success.

A hidden place.

Before me lay a sea of ​​orange-red, with crumbling walls and ruins everywhere. The river I passed was blood-red, and there was no vegetation to be found.

Looking around, there was no sign of life within a hundred meters. However, if you moved deeper into the area from this point, you could see the lifeless body of a girl in red lying on the ground, like a doll that had lost its power.

That girl in red is Enma Ai, the Hell Girl. The place she lives in is the underworld, which connects the human world and hell.

The reason she's lying here isn't because she's dead or has lost her ghostly powers; she's simply "sleeping" here.

Unlike humans who sleep, ghosts do not have life, so when they lie on the ground to sleep, they will not show any signs of life activity and will really look like a corpse.

After a while, Enma Ai rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up from the ground. At this moment, a series of "names" floated before her eyes.

These names all come from the website Hell Correspondence. What Hell Girl Enma Ai needs to do is drag all the owners of these names down to hell.

However, looking at these hundreds and thousands of names, Hell Girl Enma Ai stomped her foot angrily: "I don't want to go to work!"

She looked up at the orange sky and wailed, "Working people have such a hard life! When can I finally lie down and relax?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a red light shot down from the sky and landed beside Enma Ai, transforming into a graceful young woman.

The girl stood up, and Enma Ai immediately caught a glimpse of her beautiful face.

Enma Ai directly called out the name of the girl who had come: "Kikuko".

Kikuko Yamamura also greeted the girl in red, saying, "Ai."

Looking at Kikuko Yamamura's composed and elegant face, Hell Girl Enma Ai couldn't hold back any longer: "I'm so envious of you, Kikuko, you don't have to go to work!"

"That's because my biggest worry has been resolved. Otherwise, I'd be even less free than you right now!" Kikuko Yamamura gave a bitter smile, then said, "How about I help you out today?"

Enma cried, "Thank you! Waaah, if it weren't for Kikuko, we would never have been able to kill all these names!"

Chapter 141 The War Begins Again

Because she had someone to listen, Enma Ai continued to complain: "So in the end, it's because humans are too selfish! If humans went extinct, I wouldn't need to work anymore!"

Kikuko Yamamura shook her head and laughed, "Ai, your thinking is a bit too extreme. The reason we can exist is because of humans. If there are no humans on Earth, we ghosts will also perish."

Indeed, this is the case. Since Makoto Araki's arrival, Tokyo has entered an era of coexistence between humans and demons, in which demons exist to frighten people.

Even if, in theory, ghosts are eternal beings while humans are weak, if humans, who belong to the bottom of the food chain, were to disappear, ghosts would lose their reason for existence.

However, Enma Ai pouted, looking unhappy, and said, "Kikuko, I don't want to hear your high-sounding principles! Besides, I never said I was going to kill everyone!"

Enma Ai's statement clearly contradicts the previous one.

However, Kikuko Yamamura didn't listen at all. She just shrugged helplessly, looked at Ai Enma, and sighed, "Alright, what do you want me to say? Or rather, what do you want me to do?"

However, Enma Ai said: "I hope you will come with me to teach the humans and divine messengers of Tokyo a lesson!"

Kikuko Yamamura rolled her eyes at her and muttered under her breath, "A retaliatory social personality..."

Enma Ai said unhappily, "What are you muttering about? What I meant was that you want to make a name for yourself like Hanako and Sachiko, and reap the fear of the human world. You said it yourself. Aren't we ghosts just that kind of existence?"

As a result, even though the goddess Enma Ai no longer needs to collect "fear," her nature remains the same. With just a slight thought, she subconsciously wants to cause trouble in the human world and harvest human fear.

After a moment's thought, Kikuko Yamamura casually said, "But Ai, we can't act rashly right now. Hanako and Sachiko are currently riding high, and we need to wait until they have a result before making any plans."

"Kikuko, I never said I was going to steal their thunder." Enma Ai snorted coldly and walked forward, preparing to leave the Underworld and head to the surface.

Kikuko Yamamura followed, saying as she walked, "And now, besides Hanako and Sachiko, there's another guy on the ground who's already gotten there first and is preparing to fight the divine messengers."

"...Who?" Enma Ai suddenly turned her head, her long, flowing hair moving with her.

Kikuko Yamamura hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mirage."

Enma Ai scoffed at this, saying, "I thought it was some kind of demon king. The Mirage Tower doesn't deserve to be called a demon king. Let's kill it and steal all its demonic power."

As Enma Ai moved, Yamamura Kikuko followed again: "You recognize it?"

However, Enma Ai dismissed it with disdain: "I don't recognize it. Isn't it just a ghost spirit transformed from a mirage? What's there to be afraid of?"

Yamamura Kikuko: "..."

And so, Kikuko Yamamura followed behind Ai Enma, the two of them having made the necessary preparations to return to the human world.

at the same time.

The human world.

It was midday.

Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

Shinto Hall.

By this time, Ooi Yushin had already met with every colleague from Shinto Hall and given a brief self-introduction.

The police inspectors were both happy and sad about this new divine messenger. They were happy because they finally had a new comrade-in-arms, and a man at that, who seemed more reliable.

What upset them was that, although men could also become divine messengers, they weren't given a chance; instead, it was the turn of outsiders.

The police inspectors in the Shinto Hall all consulted Ooi Yushin, asking him how one could become a divine messenger.

As it turned out, Ooi Yushin was just being mysterious, claiming that "sincerity brings results," without mentioning a word about his past experiences.

His past experiences were naturally characterized by servility and subservience; his position as a divine messenger can be said to have been earned through kneeling.

But it doesn't matter. Although the past is unbearable to recall, it doesn't affect the fact that he has now become a divine messenger and is revered by thousands.

After getting to know his colleagues, it was time to learn how to fight. The knowledge of combat was explained to Ooi Yushin by several divine messengers, who recounted their past experiences fighting against demons.

Of course, Ishikawa Risa was not among those who explained combat concepts to him, because she herself did not have much combat experience.

And so, after an afternoon of training, the fifth divine messenger, Ooi Yuomi, officially joined the ranks of divine messengers of the Shinto Hall.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon.

With less than two hours left until dusk, Tokyo was now a complete ghost town.

Shinto Hall.

Fujita Mino stood behind a pillar of the building, leaning against it, her eyes looking out with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"What are you looking at?" At that moment, Shimizu Suzune's voice came from behind. Fujita Mino turned her head to look, then turned back.

Seeing that Fujita Mino remained silent, Shimizu Suzune teased, "This is terrible! Such a huge city as Tokyo doesn't even have a single chef left. What are we going to do for dinner?"

As they were talking, Shimizu Suzune had already come to Fujita Mino's side and leaned against the same pillar.

Faced with Shimizu Suzune's teasing, Fujita Mino was taken aback: "Huh? Does Shimizu-san want me to cook?"

"Not at all." Shimizu Suzune smiled and said, "I mean, someone is already cooking for us."

"Who?" Although Fujita Mino didn't care who it was, since Shimizu Suzune had said so, she would play along and ask the question.

Shimizu Suzune pointed to the interior of the Shinto Hall: "Ooi Yutomi, that newcomer."

Upon hearing this, Fujita Mino lost all interest; she didn't like Ooi Yuomi.

In her view, although Ooi Yutomi provided information about Sachiko, Sachiko was difficult to unite, so his information was ineffective.
