Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Fujita Mino didn't need to explain; Shimizu Suzune had already seen everything in the rearview mirror—she saw those ten flashes of light!

However, Shimizu Suzune was still very puzzled. How could the Slit-Mouthed Woman be defeated so easily?

In the distance, the sound of police sirens could be heard.

Shimizu Suzune's cell phone also rang at that moment; it was a call from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Fujita Mino came closer. Looking at the phone message displayed on her companion's phone, she knew that the Slit-Mouthed Woman was in trouble.

She couldn't do what she had just imagined herself, but what if the police helped? Shoveling up the banshee's flesh, burning it, and then pouring concrete to suppress its activities wouldn't be a problem for the police.

……

……

The Slit-Mouthed Woman has been "defeated".

All of this was observed by Makoto Araki, who was now somewhat surprised and found it hard to believe that the Slit-Mouthed Woman had been defeated so easily.

This slit-mouthed woman is clearly inferior to the Heavenly God Academy, which is also a high-level urban legend; she looks completely vulnerable.

Or was it that Fujita Mino and Shimizu Suzune were simply too strong? Did I fail to recognize their strengths before, leading to a misjudgment?

Or perhaps the Slit-Mouthed Woman is a monster with high attack, low defense, and high healing? So she can be defeated very easily?

"High attack" refers to the fact that the Slit-Mouthed Woman can kill people as soon as she makes a move, such as the police, the mobile unit helicopter, and the snipers in the shadows.

Low defense refers to the fact that the machine guns of the helicopter and the snipers at a distance inflicted serious damage on the Slit-Mouthed Woman's body.

High healing rate refers to the fact that the Slit-Mouthed Woman quickly repairs her body after being attacked, as if nothing happened. However, this time she was cut into pieces by Fujita Mino, so healing was more difficult and the recovery speed was significantly reduced.

But it doesn't matter. Although the Slit-Mouthed Woman is about to be subdued by the shrine maiden and the police, she has already accomplished her mission.

The panic caused by the Slit-Mouthed Woman incident is still spreading because the live broadcast accident at the Prime Minister's official residence is still being broadcast!

The headline "Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba does not deny the authenticity of urban legends" alone is enough to cause panic around the world!

If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't!

However, Makoto Araki miscalculated a little. Even though the Japanese government no longer concealed the fact that it was an urban legend, most other countries' governments still blocked the news, which was consistent with the Japanese government's previous stance.

Therefore, the influence of "fear" was actually more limited to Japan, and the harvest of fear was also very limited.

At this point, half an hour had passed since the Slit-Mouthed Woman stormed the Prime Minister's residence, and the number of fears had increased several times from the original 30,000 to an astonishing tens of thousands.

[Fear +2]

[Fear +2]

【…】

[Current - Fear: 130020]

A total of 130,000 fears!

Although the growth rate of the Slit-Mouthed Woman has slowed down after the crackdown, it is still growing and is expected to reach 200,000 by the second half of the night!

Now that things have come to this, let's exchange for the divine artifacts that need to be exchanged. Makoto Araki has been eager to exchange for and collect all six of them for a long time.

Buy it directly!

【Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Part Three: The Asura Path*1】

[Note: Jizo Scripture Part 3 - Asura Path has been placed in the abandoned shrine; Part 4 will be refreshed at this time tomorrow, remember to come and buy it on time!]

Three more needed!

It was only at this moment that Makoto Araki truly understood what it meant for days to drag on endlessly, and what it meant to have money but not know where to spend it!

He now wishes he could travel to tomorrow immediately and exchange for the fourth Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

But it doesn't matter, the "divine artifacts" don't only contain Jizo, so Makoto Araki isn't worried about not having a place to spend his "fear".

Open the artifact shop and take a look!

As usual, there are only two items in the artifact store, one of which is the "sold out" Ksitigarbha III.

There is also a "virtual shrine" located beneath Jizo statues.

Virtual Shrine

[Note: Create a barrier called 'Virtual Shrine' based on any shrine. As the owner of the barrier, you can freely modify all the decorations of the shrine, including creating mountains, water, plants, buildings, etc.]

【Characteristic: The barrier is permanent】

[Demand - Fear: 50000]

Judging from the description, Makoto Araki can do whatever he wants in the "virtual shrine," which functions like the "Kisaragi Station," except that this "station" has fewer ghosts.

Should we replace it or not?

Of course it needs to be replaced.

Although Makoto Araki found an abandoned shrine, just like its name "abandoned," he is still in a state of having no roof over his head, suffering from the sun and rain.

Furthermore, "Kisaragi Station" only appears at night. During the day, Makoto Araki still has to hide in the abandoned shrine, which means that without his own private space, his personal safety is still in some danger.

As for Ksitigarbha.

It's alright.

There will definitely be 50,000 fears tomorrow night!

So, get ready to redeem!

Chapter 80 The Light of Humanity

While browsing the store and preparing to buy a new artifact, the number of Wei changed again.

In just a few dozen seconds, the value of "fear" increased by two thousand points!

When the panel popped up, Makoto Araki found himself in a blank space.

The top, bottom, left, and right sides are all blank.

However, floating beside him is a "divine power" that he can mold into any shape, capable of creating furniture, water, soil, and other items.

Araki Makoto glanced around and muttered to himself, "Should I create a garden here?"

Just do it.

With a wave of his hand, Araki grasped the floating "divine power" and then conjured a small blue river in front of him.

However, Makoto Araki quickly lost interest in this custom mode; how could a god do it himself?

He waved his hand and ordered Ji Damo, who was already waiting on the side, "Help me create a landscape garden!"

While Jidamo was working diligently at the virtual shrine, the urban legends outside were also busy.

In particular, the Kisaragi Station has started randomly accumulating victims in Tokyo subway stations again, but this time something is a little off. The scene has been going on for several hours, but no one has been caught.

This is only natural. Since the Slit-Mouthed Woman attacked the Prime Minister's official residence, the Tokyo subway, trains, and all public transportation have been suspended. The authorities have clearly asked residents to stay at home and not go out.

This resulted in Kisaragi Station having a terrible stomachache today, as they didn't get to eat a single thing!

In fact, in Makoto Araki's eyes, the dismal state of Kisaragi Station was not entirely unexpected.

Furthermore, thinking in a more extreme direction, if the situation continues to be this bad, Kisaragi Station will probably have to be abandoned, and the only way to create panic will be through new urban legends.

As for Kikuko Yamamura?

She's currently working and living a normal life! But she's also somewhat wary of the fear caused by the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Arakawa Ward, Tokyo!

Kikuko Yamamura was sitting at a barbecue stall on the street, watching the Asahi Shimbun playing on the shop's large screen, her gaze slightly narrowed.

The middle-aged male stall owner, wearing a medical mask, a hairnet, and an apron, was also watching.

Moreover, he kept sighing.

"Hey, why are you sighing, stall owner?" Kikuko Yamamura asked the stall owner who was grilling chicken skewers while eating them.

"Sigh, business is tough. I finally found a place with good foot traffic, but I guess I'll have to move again tomorrow!" The stall owner sighed again.

"Why?" Kikuko Yamamura frowned.

The stall owner shook his head and said, "Didn't you see the news? The official prediction is that the banshee's next attack location is very likely to be our Arakawa Ward, and people in the vicinity are already being evacuated."

As the stall owner spoke, he glanced at the crowd on the street and noticed that quite a few people were beginning to move eastward.

Looking at the people fleeing in a panic, Kikuko Yamamura felt somewhat speechless.

In the past, she was lonely because she hadn't discovered that other "ghosts" existed in the world.

As for Makoto Araki?

She revered him as a supreme god, as her creator, which certainly could not be considered as companionship.

Of course, the shrine maiden and the 'god' worshipped by humans are different. Although both are gods, this god is not that god.

Kikuko Yamamura's "god" is the "god" of ghosts, sent down from heaven to save them, which is completely different from the "god" worshipped by humans.

Since he is a god.

Then we need to keep our distance.
