Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

He asked his companion, Xiao Lu, but Xiao Lu didn't know either.

Then, upon returning to the police station, Inspector Ishiguro learned from his colleagues that the "witness" in the previous old house incident had been attacked and killed near Asakusa subway station, causing the already scarce clues to come to an abrupt end.

Yes, a witness. Under Inspector Ishiguro's manipulation, Akihiko Noguchi has transformed from a criminal suspect into a witness at the scene.

There was nothing that could be done about it; the deaths of the bodies at the scene were too bizarre to be caused by a pistol or bare hands.

Since there were no other large pieces of equipment at the scene, and there was no way to verify the facts, the only option was for Sakuraba Shrine to take the person away.

Unexpectedly, he got into trouble.

But this was exactly what Inspector Ishiguro wanted. He never wanted to get involved in these supernatural matters; he wasn't an exorcist!

The only thing he could do was limit the spread of so-called urban legends, stop online rumor-mongers, and restrict streamers from doing so-called ghost-hunting live streams.

Chapter 31 Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint

Inspector Ishiguro's actions were somewhat like throwing an egg against a rock. Let alone a small police officer like him, even if the entire nation of Japan were to use its resources, it would be impossible to stop the creation of urban legends, let alone deprive the public of their right to know.

Of course, as the mastermind behind all this, Makoto Araki wouldn't go out of his way to create urban legends and let them destroy the world.

The saying goes that everything has its counterpart; everything should have a natural enemy, even urban legends.

If Makoto Araki continues to relentlessly exploit the human world, and if he continues to allow urban legends to grow unchecked, I feel that I will soon face a backlash.

It is foreseeable that if things continue like this, humanity will either be completely destroyed or evolve the ability to suppress urban legends or a new kind of humanity on the verge of destruction. Neither outcome is something Makoto Araki does not want to see.

As urban legends proliferate and the world becomes less safe, these legends may pose a threat to Makoto Araki.

Urban legends like the Flying Demon or Kikuko Yamamura are not something Makoto Araki can guarantee he won't be threatened by.

Therefore, Makoto Araki will not put himself in a precarious situation, nor will he do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

This is one of the reasons why he wanted to train Shimizu Suzune; he hoped that someone could deter urban legends.

Moreover, there shouldn't be just one character like her; the number should increase as urban legends proliferate.

Simply put, Makoto Araki's current mindset is one of "fighting with both sides," representing the side of Shimizu Suzune, who embodies justice, and the side of Yamamura Kikuko, who embodies evil.

As for Makoto Araki, what role he plays in this internal struggle is a matter of much debate.

First, there is the Lord of All Demons, who is the source of all urban legends.

Secondly, there is God.

The "Kagura Dance Bell," a divine artifact he obtained by spending a great deal of Fear, is one of the symbols of his use of divine authority. Others include Spider Vision and two Daruma dolls.

Of course, the strongest "god" is the system on his body, and he himself is the host of the strongest "god"!

In the blink of an eye.

It was late at night.

That night, Shimizu Suzune didn't go out to do a live stream; instead, she stayed home.

After returning home, she made many phone calls and sent many messages to Priest Noguchi, but he did not answer.

But just now, she finally got through on the phone. A woman answered, claiming to be the phone owner's wife and saying that her husband was dead.

At this point, Shimizu Suzune's anxiety finally died, which also affected her interest in going out for an outdoor live broadcast that night.

Another reason for not wanting to go live was, of course, the warning from Inspector Ishiguro. He had already made his point clear, and if they didn't avoid the limelight and stubbornly continued to go live, it would only end up being awkward for both sides.

Oh right, Shimizu Suzune suddenly remembered that forum user named "Boring World 777" and immediately logged into the forum to see if this guy had posted any new posts.

The result showed no new posts, indicating that the person had been banned and the posts he had published had been locked.

Shimizu Suzune gritted her teeth, muttering to herself with a hint of disappointment, "Damn it, the authorities finally intervened..."

What now?

If this person is banned, Shimizu Suzune will be unable to find useful information from the sea of ​​posts, and the live stream will be difficult to continue.

Wait, a live stream?

Shimizu Suzune suddenly realized that even if she didn't get a live stream, it wouldn't seem to affect her career.

That's right, it's "career". Shimizu Suzune firmly believes that wherever there are supernatural phenomena in this world, there are likely to be corresponding talismans to ward off evil, just like the exorcism beans and gold foil coins she found earlier.

Therefore, Shimizu Suzune's only goal now is to collect as many magical artifacts as possible to destroy the urban legends and save the world from suffering!

In the dead of night, since Shimizu Suzune had become a recluse, Araki Makoto naturally stopped paying attention to her and instead focused on Yamamura Kikuko's movements to see what she was up to.

It's late at night, 10 PM.

Kurosaki-ya.

This is a club located in the center of Nakano Ward. Every night, when all is quiet, young men and women who can't stand the emptiness and loneliness, as well as all kinds of thugs and motorcycle gangs, come here to seek excitement.

Tall, masked women dressed in revealing outfits swayed wildly around poles on the dance floor to the beat of hot electronic music and lights, all in an effort to please the guests.

"Young lady, you're probably not old enough to be here yet, are you?"

The security guard wearing sunglasses reached out and stopped Kikuko Yamamura, who had sneaked into the club with the others.

Kikuko Yamamura completely disregarded these small fry, dismissing them with a single glance.

After entering the club, Kikuko Yamamura scanned everyone inside but did not find her ex-boyfriend.

Perhaps they haven't arrived yet?

Kikuko Yamamura casually found a seat and sat down, deciding to wait there for that damned guy to walk right into her trap.

Kikuko Yamamura crossed her legs, looking at the sizzling women on the stage in the club, and then at the young girls in the seats, recalling her own past experiences sitting in this club.

She was sitting in this very seat when her ex-boyfriend won her heart with sweet words.

"Good girls always end up being deceived by blond-haired men," Kikuko Yamamura couldn't help but sigh.

"Joshima, it's only been a few days, and you've already got a new girlfriend?"

Just then, someone mentioned the surname "Shirojima," and Kikuko Yamamura, who had been quite calm, suddenly became nervous and quickly looked up.

Right at the edge of the dance floor, a young man wearing sunglasses, with dyed blond hair, black tattoos on his arms, and a gold necklace around his neck, was forcibly kissing a high school girl with short, ear-length hair.

"What are you saying? What are you saying? You've changed girlfriends again? Do you think I, Joshima, am such a womanizer? I want to see my lawyer!"

This remark drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

The high school girl he was holding lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to face anyone.

Seeing the girl so shy, Ryosuke Shiroshima became even more excited and bent down to hug her.

He looks like he's really riding high!

But in Kikuko Yamamura's eyes, he was already a corpse. She didn't even need to ask him anything; she just killed him!

Kikuko Yamamura got up, looked left and right, and immediately saw the beer bottle on the table next to her. She grabbed the bottom of the beer bottle and smashed it against the corner of the table, turning it into a murder weapon.

After gripping the murder weapon, Kikuko Yamamura didn't say a word. She flashed to Ryoya Joshima's side and before anyone could react, she grabbed the weapon and stabbed it into Ryoya Joshima's neck!

Chapter 32 Brake Failure

Kikuko Yamamura used a "murder weapon" instead of directly using her demonic powers to kill her ex-boyfriend because she still had lingering thoughts.

If he were to use his demonic power, Ryojiro Shiroshima would have instantly turned to death, and there would have been no way he could have taken a few more breaths of oxygen here.

Now, Kikuko Yamamura is clearly softening and wants to give him a chance to explain.

Therefore, Kikuko Yamamura deliberately slowed down, waited a second or two, and then raised the weapon to stab Ryoya Jojima in the neck.

At this point, even if Ryoya Jojima was slow to react, he quickly crouched down and raised the high school girl's arm to block Kikuko Yamamura's weapon attack.

"what!"

The high school girl screamed.

Fresh blood gushed from the wound.

But it didn't work.

No one cared about her cries.

Everyone else at the scene kept their distance from the bloody scene, fearing they might be affected.

Seeing that she had failed to kill Ryoya Shiroshima, Kikuko Yamamura immediately pulled out the weapon and slapped it at Ryoya Shiroshima's face again.

Ryosuke Joshima wasn't stupid. He rolled on the ground for a distance, then quickly got up and rushed out of the clubhouse amidst the chaos.

After rushing out of the clubhouse, Ryosuke Joshima immediately got on the motorcycle parked outside, started the engine, and hurriedly drove away from the scene.

Only after hearing the roar of the engine and driving quite a distance did Ryoya Jojima finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As he sped down the main road, Ryojiro Joshima didn't forget to turn back and curse, "Damn it, where did that crazy woman come from?!"

"Come to think of it, this crazy woman looks a little familiar?" Ryoya Joshima muttered to himself. After a brief moment of thought, he stepped on the gas again to increase the speed.

"Forget it, whatever! My charm is so great, it's only natural that I'd be hacked to pieces!"

In the fast-paced world of "Fast and Furious," Ryojiro is secretly pleased that he has escaped with his life, when he hears a voice behind him.

"When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. You call that charm? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

It's a woman's voice.

And it was a very familiar voice.

Ryosuke Joshima was also a little confused, but he comforted himself by saying, "Maybe I'm just too tired and that's why I'm hallucinating?"

At this moment, the voice rose again from behind:

"It's really sad. In just four short years, you've completely forgotten my name and what I look like."

Upon hearing this, Ryosuke Joshima could no longer hold back; he had long felt as if someone was sitting in the back seat of his car!

Turning my head, I saw that there really was someone there, and it was a disheveled, sinister woman!

"What's going on...?!" Ryoya Joshima's pupils contracted. He remembered that when he looked just now, there was no one there!

He wanted to pull over, but the brakes seemed to have failed. No matter how hard he squeezed the brakes, the speed didn't decrease at all!

Because he was in a hurry to escape, the motorcycle reached a speed of 90 km/h!

Ryosuke Jojima was well aware of the danger of being wrapped in iron. If he couldn't slow down and continued to run at this speed through the city, his chances of survival would be extremely low if an accident occurred!
