Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Shimizu Suzune hesitated again at Enma Ai's request, still wondering if selling too much blood would have serious consequences for her health.

Chapter 150 Restoration of Order

Shimizu Suzune wasn't particularly keen on selling her blood, because even if someone from the Shinto Office were to confirm Hanako Sachiko's whereabouts, they believed it wouldn't take more than a few days to get a definitive answer.

But so what?

Shimizu Suzune also wanted to know Hanako Sachiko's current state, whether they still had the ability to cause trouble, and what they would say tonight.

If they intend to make a comeback, the Shinto Office must prepare for prevention, such as issuing notices prohibiting citizens from going out.

In fact, before this, it was very easy to find out about Hanako Sachiko; one way was to just call her.

But now, Sachiko Hanako may have suffered a blow, and it remains to be seen whether she will still tell her old friend Mino Fujita the truth.

After careful consideration, Shimizu Suzune finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, just two bites, not too many. Also, I need to get the relevant information before dark."

Upon hearing this, Enma Ai's pupils suddenly widened, and the red within them deepened.

Suddenly, Shimizu Suzune felt as if her face had been cut by a knife. When she instinctively tried to raise her hands to cover her face, her hands were grabbed by someone.

The person who grabbed her hands was none other than Enma Ai, who had somehow appeared in front of her at some point.

As Shimizu Suzune's face was slashed by an invisible force, and Enma Ai appeared, Enma Ai began to open her mouth and stick out her tongue.

Shimizu Suzune struggled instinctively, but Enma Ai was stronger than her, making it impossible for her to break free.

The next second, Shimizu Rin could feel the blood flowing from her face becoming restless. Then, the blood formed a "river" in the air, flowing upwards and eventually down into Enma Ai's tongue and mouth.

The moment she was being sucked blood, Shimizu Suzune's condition deteriorated, and her legs felt weak, but she persevered.

"So sweet!" Enma Ai licked the corners of her mouth, then released Shimizu Suzune's hand, who took a step back.

However, her hands were immediately grabbed by another person, who was none other than Kikuko Yamamura. She followed suit and sucked a mouthful of blood from Suzune Shimizu's face.

When she was sucked a second mouthful of blood, Shimizu Suzune felt as if her body had been hollowed out, as if she had lost half her life.

Finally, Kikuko Yamamura let go, and Suzune Shimizu's legs went weak, and she could no longer stand, so she sat down with a thud.

What exactly happened?

It wasn't until this moment that Shimizu Rin realized just how powerful Enma Ai truly was; if these demon kings wanted to suck her blood, she simply couldn't stop them.

She hadn't noticed anything when her face was slashed. If it had been her throat instead, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After her face was slashed, Shimizu Suzune's hands were grabbed. She tried to struggle but to no avail, which further confirmed the terrifying nature of Enma Ai and the other demon kings.

Who can understand the feeling of helplessness of being able to watch your blood being drained without being able to do anything about it!

This is important intelligence. After I get back, I must discuss countermeasures with my colleagues.

Yes, Enma Ai is a spirit after all, and she can do this easily, so we have to be careful.

Enma Ai turned her head and glanced at Shimizu Suzune sitting on the ground, saying, "Go back and wait for news. It will be delivered to you before tonight."

Kikuko Yamamura sat to one side, her lips still stained with someone else's blood, but she seemed oblivious to it, only casting a pitying glance at Suzune Shimizu.

That's right. As a ghost girl who thought she had retired from the ghost world, Yamamura Kikuko actually couldn't bear to hurt Shimizu Suzune. Even if Shimizu Suzune was unwilling to sell her blood, Yamamura Kikuko would find an opportunity to give her information.

However, there was no way around it; Enma Ai was too domineering and greedy. Judging from her attitude, she was determined to drink Shimizu Suzune's blood today, regardless of whether she agreed or not.

Yeah, that's pretty domineering!

……

……

Afterwards, Shimizu Suzune regained some of her strength, got up, and left the shrimp fishing spot alone.

It was already noon.

The sun grew increasingly intense, and Shimizu Suzune, braving the scorching sun, recovered rapidly. The wounds on her face began to heal into scars, which soon disappeared completely.

However, the scars in her heart are not so easy to heal. She was still thinking about Enma Ai's outrageous behavior and how she managed to cut her face.

Is it ghostly power?

It doesn't look like it.

Ghostly power should not be invisible.

Was it a physical incision?

For example, throwing a razor blade or something.

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

If it's a physical attack, Shimizu Suzune can rest assured, since physical attacks are not as threatening as demonic power.

Once this issue is considered, the remaining problems become simple. As for Enma Ai being able to teleport over, it's not surprising; as long as her demonic power is strong enough, she can increase her speed.

The same applies to Kikuko Yamamura.

After leaving the shrimp fishing pond, Shimizu Suzune did not linger outside but returned directly to Shinto Hall. At this time, the press conference had already concluded, reporters were leaving, and some police inspectors were cleaning up the venue.

At that moment, two reporters noticed Shimizu Suzune. They had intended to come up and interview her, but Shimizu Suzune dashed into the Shinto Hall and disappeared.

Back to the Shinto Hall.

It was noon, and the two divine messengers resting in the Shinto Hall had not yet woken up, while Ooi Yuomi outside was probably sleeping as well.

Back inside the Shinto Hall, Kishimoto Shingo happened to run into Shimizu Suzune and greeted her, "Shimizu."

Shimizu Suzune nodded without saying anything, and then brushed past him.

The two are colleagues, and in theory they should have work-related communication, but now Shimizu Rinne and other divine messengers have been sending various text messages to Kishimoto Shingo using their mobile phones.

Information within the Shinto Hall is shared, so there is generally no need for face-to-face communication unless there is an emergency.

In the event of a major incident, the divine messengers will first hold a meeting to discuss the matter. If they feel that a meeting of the divine messengers alone is not enough, they will expand the meeting to include all the police inspectors in the Shinto Hall.

Ultimately, the divine messengers and the police inspectors of the Shinto Bureau operate independently, with each position having its own responsibilities. In addition, they have various group chats that allow them to communicate in real time, so there won't be a situation where they start talking a lot as soon as they meet.

To be honest, Kishimoto Shingo had nothing to say to Shimizu Suzune, and didn't know what to talk about.

Talk to her and confirm Hanako Sachiko's situation? But didn't they already say that Hanako Sachiko was defeated? Kishimoto Shingo firmly believed in what the divine messengers said.

As for the other demon kings, Kishimoto Shingo wouldn't interfere either. After all, intervening wouldn't solve the problem, so he might as well just wait for them to report their situations to him.

However, Kishimoto Shingo noticed that Shimizu Suzune seemed fine before she went out, but she looked rather haggard after returning. Even when she faced difficulties before, she never seemed like she was today, lacking a lot of vitality.

Even so, Kishimoto Shingo still wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the divine messengers. After all, even if he did interfere, it wouldn't change anything, so it was better not to ask!

Back in her office, Shimizu Suzune glanced at the data on her computer, and after confirming that there were no major incidents, she took a shower in the Shinto Hall bathroom and went to bed.

……

……

It was still 3 PM when the messengers of the gods woke up one after another. However, since Shimizu Suzune had already announced that the Demon King Hanako had been defeated, the messengers of the gods did not wake up from a tense atmosphere this time, but were relatively relaxed.

When Ishikawa Risa woke up, she found that Fujita Mino had woken up even earlier and was changing into her shrine maiden outfit.

So, Ishikawa Risa pursed her lips and said to Fujita Mino, "Hey, Fujita, I've noticed that we divine messengers are either fighting or preparing for battle, and we haven't had a proper meal together. How about we have a meal together tonight? Let's invite Shimizu, Oi, and the director."

"..." Fujita Mino looked at Ishikawa Risa for a few seconds before saying, "Your suggestion is good, but we can't let our guard down. Even during a dinner party, we must be ready to fight at any time."

Ishikawa Risa pouted and said unhappily, "You're not allowed to say things like that at night, it's a spoilsport."

"Hehe!" In the end, Fujita Mino just playfully stuck her tongue out at her.

Seeing such a vibrant young girl, Ishikawa Risa felt much better, knowing that she would be able to overcome the pain of losing her companion in time.

Ultimately, people are very fickle. Losing someone like a best friend or comrade-in-arms can be very painful, but if someone can take that place, things can get better.

Fujita Mino can be considered Morita Jun's "replacement" now, and this replacement is trending towards becoming the main one, since the two of them see each other all the time and are almost the two closest people in the Shinto Hall.

Fujita Mino sighed and said to Ishikawa Risa, "Anyway, get up quickly, it's going to get dark soon. Sigh, our line of work has such a chaotic schedule."

She then looked in the mirror and realized that her frequent late nights had indeed made her look somewhat haggard. If this continued, she feared she would look like she was thirty before she was even twenty.

As Fujita Mino stepped out of the room, her phone received a message from another department, showing the movements of the mirage sea monster that was lurking on the beach.

The dynamic display shows that, under the influence of the mirage, the waves are becoming more and more turbulent each day, suggesting that the mirage's ghostly power may have been amplified.

However, Fujita Mino didn't take the Mirage Sea Monster to heart. To her, the most terrifying ghosts were not the enormous Mirage Sea Monster, but humanoid ghosts, because humanoids were more intelligent.

In contrast, ghosts like the Mirage Tower, which are too large to be considered a threat, are not agile at all.

If a mirage were the same size as a human, it would have been hiding in a city long ago, not in the ocean.

Due to the intense fighting and late nights of the past few days, the Shinto Office's working hours had been completely disrupted. Not long ago, Shingo Kishimoto held a press conference to announce the restoration of all social order.

Fujita Mino also returned to her post and began a new day of work.

Her first task, of course, was to check all the cases. Due to the recent incident involving the Demon King Hanako Sachiko, there were no new cases; all of them were old cases.

The problem now is that Fujita Mino hasn't completely let go of her wariness of Oni King Hanako Sachiko, so she's not in the mood for fieldwork and doesn't want to do any commissioned tasks.

Compared to the Demon King, those henchmen were like tofu, easily broken at the slightest touch, so Fujita Mino had no interest in them at all.

……

……

After completing his mission of guarding the Shinto Hall, Chun returned to Makoto Araki's side.

There was no need for Jun to recount anything; Makoto Araki already knew everything Jun had experienced and that she had unexpectedly defeated the Demon King Hanako Sachiko.

To be honest, this was not an accident, but something that was expected. Without the support of the public's fear, Hanako Sachiko would not be qualified to be called the "Demon King".

As for Jun taking action and driving Hanako Sachiko away, that was unexpected; Makoto Araki hadn't thought she could do that.

That's fine, though. Now that things have come to this, Shimizu Suzune and the other divine messengers have lost much of their confidence. If they want to defeat Hanako Sachiko on their own, it will probably take another week or even half a month of fighting before there is a result.

In addition, Makoto Araki noticed that the mirage near Tokyo Bay had quietly absorbed enough malevolent energy and was estimated to be able to climb ashore and destroy the nearby cities as early as tomorrow.

However, Makoto Araki was not optimistic about how much damage the Mirage Tower could cause, feeling that it could only scare ordinary people and would hardly be able to shake those divine messengers.

In short, let's wait and see.

……

……

The real world.
