Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Only after his explanation did Shimizu Suzune feel a little better, but she was still not very happy. After thinking for a moment, she said:

Shimizu Rin shook her head and said, "Ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Even we divine messengers can't necessarily defeat ghosts 100% of the time."

Shingo Kishimoto took another drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said earnestly:

"Let's do our best. Our Shinto Hall needs a great first battle to get government funding so we can get our salaries and bonuses."

"Are you planning to leave tonight?" Shimizu Suzune asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Shingo Kishimoto pondered for a moment and said, "This is my plan. After all, solving the case sooner can save many people. Shimizu-chan, do you have a better plan?"

"No, that's fine then," said Shimizu Suzune, standing up.

"Alright, I'll go arrange it." Kishimoto Shingo walked out of the office with a beaming smile.

After he left, Shimizu Suzune also left the office and the Shinto Hall.

For some reason, Shimizu Suzune felt that the building was a bit stuffy and wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

Oh, I've found the reason... I feel a little lonely because I haven't chatted with the High God for too long.

After losing her only best friend, Shimizu Suzune was quite lonely. There was a significant age difference between her and Fujita Mino, and the two often argued.

In comparison, at least Fujita Mino was able to have a love-hate relationship with that guy from the Heavenly God Academy, which could be considered a mutual attraction.

What about Jun Morita?

This person is relatively unknown.

So, what about Shingo Kishimoto?

This person is merely a colleague!

That's why Shimizu Suzune felt so lonely, and she desperately needed to break out of that state.

Stepping out of the Shinto Hall, you'll find yourself on a main road, bustling with people and traffic, a truly noisy place.

However, this noise had little to do with Shimizu Suzune; on a journey without friends, she had no heart to appreciate the scenery along the way.

The area outside the Shinto Hall was deserted, devoid of the usual reporters, which felt somewhat disconcerting.

Shimizu Suzune looked up at the sun overhead, and her mood improved slightly.

Right at that moment!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.

He turned his head away.

She noticed that, to her left, outside a tall building in the distance, there was something that looked like a garbage bag, but also like a ghost, floating on the outside of the glass.

Am I seeing things?

Shimizu Rinne blinked and noticed that the ghost was still on the glass.

She quickly opened her phone, used the zoom lens, and zoomed in to take a closer look.

Then she saw a female ghost dressed in white cloth, with a triangular scarf wrapped around her head and her hair disheveled.

In appearance, the female ghost was no different from the previous female ghosts. The only difference was that this female ghost was extremely resentful.

"Hanako?!" That was the first thought that arose in Shimizu Suzune's mind!

Her pupils contracted rapidly!

She wasn't sure if it was Hanako, but it was broad daylight! How could she encounter a ghost like this? Was this ghost a bit too powerful?

Shimizu Suzune's initial estimate is that the female ghost is within two kilometers of the Shinto Hall, a distance that is extremely unsafe for the Shinto Hall.

Regardless, we must take the initiative!

Chapter 95 Two Divine Artifacts (4000 words)

Since her best friend died, Shimizu Suzune has become less reckless and more cautious.

At least that's what she thinks.

However, this is not absolute. She still has a youthful spirit. For example, even though she doesn't have much fighting power now, she still won't be afraid of Hanako.

However, courage is not recklessness. Even if a ghost appeared right under her nose, she would not venture alone to challenge it.

Instead, he returned to the Shinto Hall, preparing to bring the two divine messengers along for the battle.

When Shimizu Suzune passed by the Second Divine Envoy's office, she did not find Fujita Mino anywhere; she had no idea where she had gone.

They were just here a moment ago, so she had no choice but to knock on the door of the Third Divine Envoy's office.

"Please come in, what's wrong?" Jun Morita stood up with a big smile and went to greet Suzune Shimizu.

Shimizu Rinne cut to the chase: "Bring your magical artifacts; we have an impromptu mission."

Jun Morita turned her head and looked inside the Shinto Hall, where the restrooms were located. She said, "Then... should we wait until the second divine messenger finishes using the restroom before we set off?"

Shimizu Suzune glanced in the direction of the restroom, shook her head and said, "No need, the two of us are fine."

In Shimizu Suzune's view, she was the first divine messenger. If she had to involve the second divine messenger to do anything, then she could do without the title of the first divine messenger.

Especially last night, the fact that Fujita Mino bypassed her and completed the peach wood sword with Morita Jun made her even more resentful.

"Huh? Really..." Jun Morita's expression turned somewhat pale. She hesitated, looking at Suzune Shimizu's face, and said, "But you...you gave me the magical artifact..."

Indeed, Jun Morita is now less confident in Suzune Shimizu's fighting ability because she gave him the Enma sword, and giving up the sword has greatly reduced her fighting power.

As for the Yata no Kagami, although it is a divine artifact, it seems to only have the function of consecration at present and is not suitable for combat.

Seeing Morita Jun's hesitation, Shimizu Suzune grew impatient and said, "With so many concerns, what kind of divine messenger are you? Are you coming or not?"

Jun Morita could only hurriedly agree: "Come, come! Wait for me to get my Yama-no-Kami!"

The Yamato was kept in a safe in the Third Divine Envoy's office, and Jun Morita quickly obtained it.

Having lost the Yamato and the gold foil coin, Shimizu Suzune set off with two peach wood swords for testing.

Before leaving the office, Jun Morita made a point of looking back and noticed that Mino Fujita was still in the restroom.

In short, I should first secretly send a message to Fujita Mino on my phone, telling myself and Shimizu Suzune about the current situation!

Makoto Araki witnessed Shimizu Suzune's recklessness and Morita Jun's obedience throughout the entire process.

Of course, Makoto Araki no longer monitors Suzune Shimizu around the clock; he has no interest in being a voyeur now.

He had just received a "video call" from Hanako, who told him on the panel that she had found the target messenger, but the target was in the Shinto Hall.

As instructed by the High God, spirits are not allowed to approach the Shinto Hall, which is why Hanako attracted Shimizu Suzune from a distance.

After receiving Hanako's report, Makoto Araki immediately began monitoring Suzune Shimizu and the others, which is how he learned of the situation.

This girl is a bit stubborn.

However, Makoto Araki is currently in a state of "when you're successful, you should help others," so it wouldn't matter if he gave Suzune Shimizu a few divine artifacts.

Look at the number of "fears"!

[Current - Fear: 950020]

It has reached 950,000!

When things reach this point, "fear" is just a number for Makoto Araki; a little more or less doesn't matter, since he can buy whatever he wants anyway.

What? Is this what it feels like to be rich? No, that's not right either. This is more like being richer than a country!

First, open the artifact shop and see if there are any refreshed items. If there are, and they are suitable for the divine messenger, then Araki Makoto will not be stingy.

And just like that, the "Coming Soon" section in the Artifact Shop is no longer listed; instead, two new items have appeared.

【White Blade - Chasing Shadows】

[Type: Divine Artifact]

[Description: A divine weapon formed from the purest divine power, possessing the characteristic of always hitting its target when thrown (for use only by divine messengers); after being thrown, the White Blade - Shadow Chaser can be retrieved at any time.]

【Characteristic 1: Continuously burns ghosts hit by the White Blade - Shadow Chaser】

【Characteristic 2: When used in conjunction with the Dark Bow, White Blade - Shadow Chaser gains a new characteristic: Unstoppable.】

[Demand - Fear: 100000]

In addition, there is one more.

【Nether Bow】

[Type: Divine Artifact]

[Description: This bow, formed from the most evil demonic power, fires a small demon from the underworld each time it is drawn and fired.]

[Special Feature: The strength of the attack is determined by the strength of the imp that was launched.]

[Demand - Fear: 100000]

This amazing item has gone up in price?

I vaguely remember that the first divine artifact that Makoto Araki exchanged for, the Kagura Dance Bell, only cost 50,000 taels of gold.

Furthermore, the Six Paths of Ksitigarbha that can be exchanged is also required for each of the 50,000.

But with these two divine weapons, things changed; each became worth 100,000.

To replace or not to replace?

It definitely needs to be replaced.

The role of the divine messenger is to maintain human stability and suppress humanity's own resistance against demons. This is an invaluable treasure for Makoto Araki, and he cannot let it die so easily at Hanako's hands.

In Makoto Araki's ideal world, the demons and the divine messengers are evenly matched, while humans can only cheer from the sidelines and cannot independently develop items or weapons to fight against the demons, which would also be a threat to Araki.

exchange!

[Consumption - Fear: 100000]

[Current - Fear: 850020]

[Redeem successful]

[Then summon: White Blade - Shadow Chaser]

As soon as the panel appeared, Makoto Araki felt a slight weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw that what he was holding was a pure white... long spear?
