Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

……

Outside the Shinto Hall.

Shimizu Rinne parked her car in the open-air parking lot outside. At this time, some reporters were standing outside the Shinto Hall.

However, the quick-thinking Shimizu Rin didn't give them a chance to react. As soon as she got out of the car, she strode into the Shinto Hall, closed the door, and blocked the reporters.

When Shimizu Suzune returned to the Shinto Hall and entered her office, it was already 5 PM.

It will be dark soon.

As Shimizu Suzune looked at the time flashing on her phone screen, she suddenly remembered something: "Kisaragi Station".

Kisaragi Station.

It's an old urban legend.

Because of this urban legend, Tokyo's subway and other public transportation systems are basically unable to operate at night.

Perhaps it's time for a change.

Shimizu Suzune stood up, left her office, and walked past Morita Jun's office, where she found her chatting with the client, Hamada Tomoo.

Since that's the case, then I won't disturb them for now. Shimizu Suzune turned back and opened her computer to browse the contents of the request.

The request contained a lot of information, and Shimizu Suzune could only glance at it before giving up.

She slumped back in her chair, stared at the ceiling, and sighed, "With so many requests, how long would it take for just a few of us to finish them all?"

But there's no way around it. No matter how many urban legends there are, as long as their impact isn't significant enough, we can take it slow.

In fact, Shimizu Suzune set a goal for herself to eliminate one urban legend a day, and that was already a very difficult goal.

Shimizu Suzune wanted to lie down, but outside the office, people were coming and going.

It turned out that Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Office, was preparing to hold a press conference to announce the achievements of the Shinto messengers.

He will then hold an internal meeting after Jun Morita finishes writing the manuscript, and then hold the corresponding press conference.

In the First Divine Envoy's office, Shimizu Suzune sat in a chair, briefly browsed the relevant information about Kisaragi Station, then stood up, walked out the door, and entered the Third Divine Envoy's office.

As soon as she entered, Shimizu Suzune got straight to the point: "Have you finished writing the manuscript? I'm planning to go to Kisaragi Station."

"Huh? Kisaragi Station?!" Upon hearing that keyword, Jun Morita straightened his back as if facing a formidable enemy.

Jun Morita, who was once the protagonist of Kisaragi Station, was almost killed by the ghosts in the station, and she almost developed PTSD.

If the High God hadn't intervened, Morita Jun's heart would have stopped beating long ago, so she instinctively objected: "Don't go to that place, it's too dangerous!"

Shimizu Rin shook her head and said, "I don't think it's that dangerous. I've been to that place before, and this is just a return visit. Let's eliminate it together."

"But...but..." Jun Morita stammered, "I went to that place too, and I vaguely felt that I was live-streaming on 2ch, and that the missing female protagonist was me..."

Jun Morita added, "This is really strange; I think I've forgotten my 2ch account and password..."

What Jun Morita just said surprised Suzune Shimizu, as she didn't know that Jun Morita was the heroine of Kisaragi Station.

To be honest, if an ordinary woman had accidentally wandered into Kisaragi Station, she would have been scared half to death. Even a brave girl like Shimizu Suzune was still shaken.

In this light, it's understandable that Jun Morita was afraid of the scene at Kisaragi Station.

After a moment's thought, Shimizu Suzune said in a joking tone, "That won't work. If you're afraid of something, then challenge it. If you succeed, you'll become 'invincible'."

"No." Jun Morita shook his head vigorously and said, "I'm still scared."

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Shimizu Suzune patted her chest, tilted her head back, and looked full of confidence.

Jun Morita looked up, somewhat surprised, at Suzune Shimizu's confident face.

Before Morita Jun could even hesitate, Shimizu Suzune extended her hand and smiled, "Let's go together. I promise I'll never let you get into any danger, just like last time."

"But..." Jun Morita said "but," but in her heart, she was already softening a little.

Jun Morita glanced at the work in his hands and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I still have to work on my manuscript, so it looks like I can't go now. Why don't you ask Fujita-chan to come with you?"

Unexpectedly, Shimizu Suzune said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

"Ah..." Jun Morita's head was buzzing. She hadn't expected that the other party was determined to have her join the operation.

Since that's the case, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. She said, "Okay, I'll talk to you again after I finish my work."

Shimizu Suzune nodded and prepared to get up and leave the office when Morita Jun suddenly called out to her, "Oh, wait a minute."

"Is there anything else?" Shimizu Suzune turned her head and asked in confusion.

Jun Morita tapped his two index fingers together and said, "I want to change my magic weapon. Could you please ask the High God for me..."

After speaking, Jun Morita lowered his head, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

Unexpectedly, the other party replied in a very relaxed tone: "Okay, I will give you a new magic weapon before you set off."

"Okay, thank you so much!" Jun Morita looked up, tears of gratitude streaming down his face as he gazed at Suzune Shimizu's face.

Afterwards, I witnessed Shimizu Suzune leaving.

In fact, Jun Morita's original plan was to send a private message to Mino Fujita if Suzune Shimizu refused, asking her to take his place or to join him in the battle.

It seems unnecessary now. Morita Jun has already achieved her goal. As long as she can get a new magical artifact, that would be the best reward.

Speaking of magical artifacts, one cannot help but think of the Yamato. Since the corresponding height is only deducted at night, Jun Morita's current height is still quite large, making her look like a giant. She has to bow her head when working, which makes her very uncomfortable.

We can only wait until tonight to see how much is deducted. If the deduction is not enough, we'll have to find another opportunity to use the Yama Blade.

It's late at night, at 8 PM.

At this time, Fujita Mino had finished her studies and club activities for the day and was returning home.

Unlike usual, she rode her bicycle home today, and on the way, she found the city very strange.

Every day, the ghostly power in the city is getting stronger and stronger. In the past, there was only one monster every few kilometers, but now it feels like there is a monster lurking in the sewers at any time.

This is not an illusion.

In the news, monsters are everywhere.

Fujita Mino had actually encountered some ghosts and imps on her way to and from school.

However, the ghostly imps quickly fled upon seeing her, so no battle ensued.

For her own safety and the safety of those around her, Fujita Mino, in the name of the Shinto Hall's messenger, brought her Muramasa sword into the school and kept it with her at all times.

Just as Fujita Mino was riding her bicycle past a house, she suddenly heard cries for help coming from the yard.

Immediately afterwards, a ghostly "hahaha" laughter was heard.

Stab it!

Fujita Mino slammed on the brakes!

She turned her head and looked at the detached house on her right. A thick layer of ghostly power had enveloped the house!

Chapter 112 Haunted House

While Fujita Mino was still wondering, an elderly woman in her sixties rushed out of the house. When she saw Fujita Mino, she immediately approached her and pleaded, "Quick, call the police for me and save my husband!"

Fujita Mino immediately got out of the car, helped the old man up, and said kindly, "Hello, I'm from Shinto Office. Don't panic. Can you tell me what happened inside?"

"Huh? What? You're from the Shinto Hall?" Unexpectedly, the old man's expression didn't show surprise; instead, it relaxed.

Seeing that the old woman was not going to speak, Fujita Mino let go of her and was about to walk into the house to check the situation.

Suddenly, the old man grabbed her from behind and shouted, "You're not allowed to go in!"

"Why?" Fujita Mino turned around in surprise, completely unable to understand the old man's intentions.

The old man gripped Fujita Mino's clothes tightly, refusing to let go, and shouted angrily, "No means no! If you go in, I'll go bankrupt!"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Fujita Mino didn't realize for a moment that the old man was describing the price as high.

The elderly man in his sixties said, "Everyone in the city knows that the Shinto Hall charges high fees. If you were to go in and exorcise a spirit, wouldn't it cost hundreds of millions?"

Considering that saving lives was the priority, Fujita Mino became somewhat anxious and quickly explained:

"Madam, I don't know if you have any misunderstandings about our Shinto Hall. Our fees are reasonable and transparent, and there is absolutely no way we would go bankrupt!"

After saying this, Fujita Mino suddenly turned around, intending to use this momentum to break free from the old man's pull.

However, the old man gripped her even tighter, preventing her from escaping, and said, "No means no!"

"Let me go!" Fujita Mino shouted impatiently.

But to her surprise, the moment she uttered those words, the old man opened his arms and hugged her waist tightly.

The other person roared, "If my wife knew I spent millions on an exorcism, she'd haunt me even as a ghost!"

Upon hearing this, Fujita Mino was so angry that she laughed. Money is just an external thing, so why do these old people value it so much?

The elderly man continued, "My son is suffering from severe depression, and this money is going to be used for his medical treatment, to buy him a house, and to help him get married!"

After saying this, Fujita Mino's anger finally subsided a little.

It's not easy for anyone.

Then, Fujita Mino slowly turned around and said, "This time, I can waive your commission fee."

"Huh? How is that possible? When did your Shinto Hall start doing charity?" The old man loosened his grip slightly, but still held onto Fujita Mino to prevent her from escaping.

Fujita Mino took the old man's hand and said patiently, "It's not in the name of the Shinto Agency. This time, it's my personal overtime."

The old man released her completely and murmured, "Isn't this unfair to you? Exorcising spirits is such a dangerous thing, yet you don't charge for it."

Perhaps moved, the old man began to weep, gripping Fujita Mino's hand and shaking it violently.

Fujita Mino blinked and said to the old woman, "But madam, I have one condition: you must keep this a secret."

“Alright.” The old woman began to introduce herself: “You can call me ‘Sato,’ or Sato Yukiko. And how shall I address you, shrine maiden?”

Fujita Mino raised her hand, pointed to her face, and said, "Fujita Mino, the Second Divine Messenger of the Shinto Hall."

Sato Yukiko excitedly grasped Fujita Mino's hands, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Oh, it's an honor to meet you."

Fujita Mino broke free of her hands and said, "I'll stop now, I'm going in to rescue your husband."

After saying that, he walked into the courtyard of the house without looking back, opened the wooden door, and entered the entrance hall.

However, the moment Fujita Mino turned around, she felt a slight chill down her spine and felt very uncomfortable.
