Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Whether it was just his imagination or not, after buying "Humanity," Makoto Araki felt as if he had been reborn.

However, according to the system's description, if Ksitigarbha has not yet gathered all six realms, he is actually of no use.

Maybe it's just my imagination?

In short, Makoto Araki has already reached one-third of his godhood progress. Theoretically, he only needs about another week to become a god. What? It turns out becoming a god isn't so difficult after all.

Chapter 59 Am I Beautiful?

The terrifying story at Kisaragi Station had ended late at night, but for the extremely dangerous ghost like the Slit-Mouthed Woman, the curtain of terror had only just been raised in the dead of night.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman is a type of monster in modern Japanese urban legends. She is described as a woman with disheveled hair and a mask covering her ripped mouth. However, in this world, the Slit-Mouthed Woman did not originally exist.

01:00 AM.

"Hiccup~"

With a burp, Hideya Yokoyama practically dragged his junior Shingo Kondo out of the izakaya; the smell of alcohol from the two of them was so strong it could knock out the entire street.

Shingo Kondo watched the izakaya recede into the distance, his hands reaching out resentfully towards it, shouting, "I want to drink more, I want to drink more..."

Seeing that both of them were at risk of falling due to Kondo Shingo's swaying movements, Yokoyama Hideya could only support his junior Kondo Shingo even more firmly, and said with pity, "Junior, you're drunk. If you can't hold your liquor, don't drink so much."

Upon hearing "You're drunk," Shingo Kondo forcefully broke free from his senior's support, shouting back, "I'm not drunk! I can drink ten more bottles! Let's fight until dawn!"

With that push, Yokoyama Hideya stumbled, lost his balance, and fell to the side of the road.

However, it didn't seem to hurt, because Hideya Yokoyama's head just happened to bump into someone's thigh before sliding down.

With gratitude, Hideya Yokoyama looked up at the benefactor who had indirectly saved his life. Standing next to his head was a woman wearing a bright red coat and shorts.

"Thank you so much!"

Hideya Yokoyama almost reflexively expressed his gratitude to the woman. Without her, his head might have hit the roadside, and even if he hadn't died on the spot, he would have at least suffered a concussion.

"In return, why don't you give me your opinion on my looks?" The woman in red squatted down, facing Yokoyama Hideya.

Upon hearing this, Hideya Yokoyama instinctively looked at the woman's face, but she was wearing a mask and he couldn't see her true appearance.

It was precisely because of the blurriness that Hideya Yokoyama was filled with fantasies about the woman in red. He really wanted to see her face under the mask and longed for her to take it off.

However, the other person still did not intend to take off his mask, but instead grinned foolishly at Hideya Yokoyama, his eyebrows curving into a crescent moon, leaving the straight-laced Yokoyama completely bewildered.

Perhaps emboldened by the party, Hideya Yokoyama actually stepped forward and prepared to embrace the woman in red, saying, "Beauty, you're so beautiful, what more do you need to say? Come and give me a kiss."

"Ugh, give me your opinion!" The woman in red pushed him away, then pulled her mask off slowly with her right hand.

Until she took off her mask, the woman in red had smooth, flowing hair and a peaceful expression. But after removing it, her hair was matted together, and it was hard to tell how long she hadn't washed it; a foul stench, like rotting grass, emanated from it even from face to face.

When Yokoyama Hideya looked up at the woman in red, he discovered a deep, gaping wound beneath her mask, exposing her teeth and jawbone—a truly horrifying sight.

Hideya Yokoyama's pupils contracted. He wanted to shout "A ghost!" but couldn't. He was probably dizzy from the alcohol and didn't have the strength to shout.

Hideya Yokoyama was pretending to be stupid, but the Slit-Mouthed Woman was not. She grabbed Hideya Yokoyama by the collar and roared, "Tell me! Am I beautiful?"

If he were to respond with praise such as "beautiful," he would be copied by the Kuchisake-onna (Slit-Mouthed Woman) and have a similar wound cut into his face.

What would happen if the answer was "not beautiful"? In fact, Yokoyama Hideyoshi was so terrified that he had to tilt his head back slightly, and now he had the look in his eyes as if he were looking at the ugliest monster in the world.

The slit-mouthed woman gave a bitter laugh, her face close to Yokoyama Hideya's, and said calmly, "I understand. Then die."

Upon hearing this, Yokoyama Hideya broke free from the slit-mouthed woman's grasp and ran away.

As for his junior, Yokoyama Hideya had long forgotten about him. When disaster strikes, everyone flies away. Whether he lives or dies is none of Yokoyama Hideya's business!

However, Yokoyama Hideya had only run a few steps when he stopped, because the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who had been behind him just moments before, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Die!" The slit-mouthed woman pulled out an axe from somewhere and chopped it down towards the middle of Yokoyama Hideya's head!

The head was squeezed so hard that two eyeballs were forced out, turning into black gems that fell to the side of the road. One rolled into the sewer, and the other rolled to Shingo Kondo's feet.

What he was seeing terrified Kondo Shingo so much that he wet himself, but he kept trying to reassure himself.

Calm down!

Stay calm!

If he shows panic at this moment, the woman in red will suspect that Kondo Shingo has sobered up, which would be very disadvantageous for him.

Just as Kondo Shingo had this thought, the Slit-Mouthed Woman was already close by, admiring his face.

Shingo Kondo swallowed hard, not daring to utter a single word, fearing that speaking might expose him.

His "feigning death" tactic was indeed very effective. The Slit-Mouthed Woman only glanced at him (he reeked of alcohol) before walking away, eventually disappearing into the night while brandishing her axe.

Soon, only Shingo Kondo and a corpse that had been cut in half remained at the scene.

Shingo Kondo sat down, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone. After several attempts, he finally entered the correct number, dialed, and got through to the police.

"Hello, I want to call the police."

"What? You're asking what happened? My good buddy was just hacked to death by a woman with an axe."

"You ask me where I am? I don't know either. I'm in Nakano Ward. There's a place nearby called 'Sato Izakaya'."

"...Huh? You're asking me what the woman's features are? It's a woman wearing a mask. When she takes off the mask, she's really terrifying. She has a scar on her face, and you can even see her teeth and jawbone!"

"What? You're telling me not to joke about urban legends? I'm not joking!"

"Hello? Hello!"

The call was disconnected, and the other party's reason was that they should contact the shrine instead of the police station. Clearly, the police do not believe that ghosts exist in this world.

Just as Shingo Kondo put down his phone and was feeling somewhat troubled, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine!

There was someone standing there.

Could it be...?

Is it the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

Calm down, you must stay calm! Kondo Shingo nervously swallowed and turned to look behind him.

Chapter 60 Then I'll ask you

When Shimizu Rinne returned, she had already turned off the live stream; she had no interest in chatting with her viewers.

While in the car, Shimizu Suzune thought about many things, one of which was how to fight against the ghosts.

First and foremost, we know that ghosts and spirits definitely exist in the world, and there are quite a few of them.

The problem now is that people don't seem to have "evolved" any special ability to fight off spirits, and no shrine seems to be able to address this issue.

Does none of them dare to do a live stream of ghost hunting? Has no one found any magical artifacts in the scene? Has no one encountered their supreme deity?

Regarding ghosts, Shimizu Suzune has many questions, and the more she thinks about it, the more distressed she becomes, unable to calm her mind.

She had an idea: could she bring in another person, but this time not to livestream, but to fight the demons together, and then gradually expand to various shrines to form a large-scale force to combat the demons?

The idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh. Shimizu Suzune now had a high god. If the high god didn't speak, how could she dare to make a decision on her own and tell others the secret of finding magical artifacts in the scene?

So after returning to her dormitory, Shimizu Suzune did nothing else but put on makeup and waited for the god to summon her. Unfortunately, she waited until late at night and finally until dawn, but she never received the summons she wanted.

In fact, Makoto Araki is too busy to summon Suzune Shimizu right now; he's busy reaping the fear of the world and has no time for this little girl.

However, to be fair, Makoto Araki also has a feeling that the urban legends he has created so far have not had a big enough impact. Despite hurting so many people, the Tokyo authorities have still managed to suppress the hype.

Kikuko Yamamura has already caused such a commotion that, in theory, the military and police should have been dispatched to suppress her long ago. However, this is not the case. High-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department have all been controlled by Kikuko Yamamura. It's all bark and no bite.

As for Kikuko Yamamura's suppression of the Metropolitan Police Department's high-ranking officials, Makoto Araki didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but if he could continue to quietly strive for "fear" in this way, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

By the way, it seems that Shimizu Suzune's live stream has been targeted again. Whether she knows it or not is unclear, but when Araki Makoto was browsing the 2ch forum, someone had already started a thread to discuss this matter.

How are netizens discussing this?

Most netizens were shocked and were willing to believe that ghosts had come to reality and that the whole world was in imminent danger.

Furthermore, many people have presented evidence of the live stream to the police offline, and the police will likely intervene soon.

If something unexpected happens...

That means the 2ch forum was shut down.

Let's wait and see!

Makoto Araki switched his perspective and was now looking at Kikuko Yamamura. However, after successfully taking revenge, this female ghost was actually trying to integrate into human life.

But she seems a bit lost, as if she doesn't know where to start her life again and hasn't yet found meaning in living in the world.

Regardless of the circumstances, Kikuko Yamamura, having become a ghost, still wanted to linger in the mortal world, something Makoto Araki could never have imagined.

Late at night.

Makoto Araki continued to use Kisaragi Station and Spider Vision to create more terrifying scenes, reaping a lot of fear.

[Current - Fear: 28800]

Not bad, not bad. After Shimizu Suzune's ghost-hunting live stream ended, another three thousand units of "fear" were gained.

The sky gradually brightened.

The Heavenly School will take effect soon.

Makoto Araki couldn't wait to shift his focus and see what kind of chaotic mess would unfold at the Heavenly God Academy.

Right at that moment!

"My Lord God."

Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse female voice rang in Makoto Araki's ear, startling him!

Who would call him "Lord God"?

It's Shimizu Suzune!

So here's the question: whose voice is this somewhat hoarse female voice?

From Kikuko Yamamura!

This is why Makoto Araki was panicked; he genuinely thought Kikuko Yamamura had attacked.

That's not the case.

Through the vision of the Resurrection Incense, Makoto Araki can see that Kikuko Yamamura is currently standing in a dark place, looking up at the "camera" in front of her.
