Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Shimizu Suzune gripped the white blades with both hands, maintaining her doll-like control over Hanako, while turning to Morita Jun and saying, "Morita-san, go see what's going on!"

"Huh?" Jun Morita was taken aback for a moment, until she followed Suzune Shimizu's gaze toward the door and realized that something was blocking the light.

Just as she turned around, preparing to head towards the gate, all the lights in the Shinto Hall suddenly went out!

Everyone held their breath, and the police officers pulled out their phones to use their flashlights for illumination.

As a divine messenger, Shimizu Suzune could see the filth beneath the Shinto Hall floor without needing any artificial light.

These filthy things quickly penetrated the floor and climbed into the structure, where countless filthy things merged into bizarre humanoid figures.

Whether others saw them or not, Shimizu Suzune did not know, but what she saw were these "strange humanoids," which were clearly hellish imps summoned from hell.

The little ghosts all died in different ways, and they all retained the appearance of when they died—some were burned to a crisp, some were crushed into a pulp by a car, and some hanged themselves with ligature marks on their necks.

There were many little devils, far exceeding the number of inspectors at the Shinto Agency. Judging from Shimizu Suzune's estimation, there were at least twenty little devils.

However, to Shimizu Suzune's surprise, these little devils did not immediately launch an attack, but instead seemed to be asleep.

At that moment, the lights in the Shinto Hall suddenly came back on, illuminating the entire institution.

Shimizu Rinne realized that the reason these little devils hadn't attacked was because they were all asleep—sleeping standing up.

Because the lights were restored, many police inspectors who saw the little devils were disgusted by their appearance and wanted to vomit.

Fortunately, the inspectors at Shinto Hall are all top performers in the police force and have good mental fortitude, so they didn't panic immediately.

Jun Morita, who was originally heading towards the main gate, was also blocked by the sudden appearance of hellish imps, and she was surrounded by several imps.

Jun Morita was in a better situation. Like Suzune Shimizu, she was blessed with divine power, so she was not alarmed at all when she saw the little devils in hell still asleep.

So, what happened to the life-size doll of Hanako, who was stabbed to death by Shimizu Suzune under the shrine maiden's skirt?

It has already escaped.

The blade missed its target.

Suzune Shimizu had a premonition that Hanako-san's doll might have escaped to the ceiling.

She looked up.

as predicted!

Hanako-san's doll is hanging upside down from the ceiling in a crawling position, but it is not moving and looks like it is asleep.

Since they're both asleep, we can strike first. Shimizu Suzune gave Morita Jun a look, signaling her not to make any rash moves.

The information conveyed by eye contact is, after all, very limited, so Jun Morita could only nod and wait for further instructions from Suzune Shimizu.

However, before Shimizu Suzune and Morita Jun could give instructions to attack or retreat, someone in the police force, feeling extremely disgusted because the hellish imps had leaned against him, launched the first attack!

"Crack!"

The blessed peach wood sword struck the neck of the hellish imp, sparking fiercely, and the imp was instantly knocked down.

But this thunderclap instantly awakened all the hellish imps, who pounced on the nearby police chief like hungry wolves seeing lambs.

The place was instantly a mess!

"Oh no, it's over..." Shimizu Rinne swallowed nervously. She gripped her white blade tightly and launched an attack on the nearest kid, trying to rescue the trapped inspector.

But it was too late. She only felt a knife stab her in the back. The intense pain made her abandon her attack on the hellish imp in front of her.

She turned her head sharply and found that the hellish imp behind her, missing half its head, had already dug its claws deep into her back.

Shimizu Suzune brandished her white blade, slaying the hellish imp and severing its demonic claws.

Even so, Shimizu Suzune's injuries would not heal anytime soon. She wanted to pull the demon claw out of her back, but she couldn't do it at all and couldn't muster any strength.

Jun Morita, who was opposite her, was very anxious when he saw that Suzune Shimizu was injured. He quickly killed two Hell Imps, broke through their encirclement, and came to Suzune Shimizu's side, helping her up from the ground.

"How is it?" Jun Morita asked with concern, his brows furrowed.

Shimizu Suzune, panting heavily, said, "I should be fine. Can you pull it out for me first..."

With the blessing of the divine artifact, the divine messenger theoretically possesses an extremely high self-healing ability; as long as the ghost claw is pulled out, it can begin to heal itself.

Jun Morita acted quickly and without hesitation, helped Suzune Shimizu pull out the demon claw. The pulled-out demon claw was still wriggling.

Jun Morita threw the demon claw on the ground, and at that moment, almost all the hellish imps began to swarm and attack the two of them.

Why is this happening?

because……

Before them lay a scene of carnage; not a single police inspector remained alive in the Shinto Hall…

……

……

Inside the Shinto Hall, a battle between demons and gods raged, but just a dozen meters away, all was peaceful and the weather was fine.

Today was my second day at work, but Ishikawa Risa overslept because she didn't set her alarm and arrived at the office ten minutes late.

Unlike others, Risa Ishikawa was relatively poor, so she rode a bicycle to work.

Along with her, two police inspectors, one tall and thin and the other obese, were also late, as well as Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Office.

Strictly speaking, the director wasn't late. He's a high-ranking official; it would be strange if he arrived at work on time.

Even so, Kishimoto Shingo and his two inspectors arrived a minute or two earlier than Ishikawa Risa.

Now, however, they dare not go in.

"What have you discovered?"

Seeing that the police inspector had parked his car outside and dared not drive in, Ishikawa Risa stopped the car and turned to look in the direction of Shinto Hall.

Upon closer inspection, it was astonishing.

Without needing any explanation from the police inspectors, Risa Ishikawa saw the truth of the matter—a large humanoid doll was hugging Shinto Hall in an exaggerated pose!

That's right, they hugged!

This has resulted in the Shinto Hall being completely sealed off, with no one knowing what's going on inside.

What's even more devastating is that, judging from the doll's appearance, this doll is exactly the same one they brought back from the movie theater last night...

The tall, thin Inspector Fukuda Souta asked in a commanding tone, "What do we do now?"

The question is directed to the department head.

They were also asking the divine messenger.

After all, even though no one can see what's going on inside, the ghostly screams coming from inside tell them that the situation is far from optimistic.

"What else can we do? We have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack!" This order came from Risa Ishikawa.

"That's the only way." Kishimoto Shingo wiped his sweat, immediately returned to his car, took out three peach wood swords, and distributed two of them to the tall, thin and fat inspectors.

Risa Ishikawa took a step back and summoned her divine artifact, the Bond Staff. "Get ready. I'll fire the first shot, and then you can act as you see fit."

As she spoke, she had already decided what moves to use to fight the giant doll.

Seeing this, the other three police inspectors drew their peach wood swords, preparing to cooperate with the divine messenger's attack, and also to protect her.

Chapter 127 We Won

The spell that Ishikawa Risa read from the Bond Staff was a power-charging spell; the longer the power was charged, the greater the damage it would cause.

Under the protection of three police inspectors, Risa Ishikawa began chanting incantations, continuously increasing the power of the Binding Staff.

The giant humanoid doll that was covering the Shinto Hall seemed to have spotted the divine messenger and the police officer on the ground. With a wave of its hand, it struck the corner of the building.

Under the giant doll's attack, the Shinto Hall building seemed to crumble into foam, with large shards of gravel falling in the direction the doll's arms swung!

Standing there were the divine messenger Risa Ishikawa and three police inspectors. One of the inspectors, one fat and one thin, had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that he immediately abandoned his armor and fled to the back.

But it was no use. They were hit one after another by the rubble thrown down by the doll. The tall, thin police officer was hit in the leg and knocked to the ground.

The obese inspector was hit on the head by debris, and blood flowed down his neck. He covered his head, enduring the pain, and quickly hid behind the car.

The remaining Shinto Hall chief did not flee immediately, but continued to stand on the front line protecting Ishikawa Risa, using his peach wood sword to counter the large number of falling rocks.

With a single sword strike, Kishimoto Shingo knocked the medium-sized flying rocks to the ground, while the smaller fragments were blown away.

Yes, there is nothing wrong.

The reason why the peach wood sword could counter these falling stones was simply because they were all imbued with ghostly power in order to increase their hit rate.

At the same time, because there are many stones that are empowered by demonic power, the intensity of the demonic power in a single stone is dispersed, which is why Kishimoto Shingo was able to successfully show off.

Under Kishimoto Shingo's protection, Ishikawa Risa finally completed her charge-up, and only a few seconds had passed.

Risa Ishikawa brandished her staff, channeling the divine power concentrated within it into the giant doll's body.

"Boom—!"

Amidst billowing smoke, the giant doll collapsed at an unstoppable rate, like a deflated balloon, quickly becoming shrunken and then shrinking into the window of the Shinto Hall.

Seeing the crisis escalating, and with no time to hesitate, Ishikawa Risa quickly said to Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Office, "You go and support those two! I'll support those inside!"

"The two of them" refers to the obese inspector and the tall, thin inspector, whose names are Fukuda Souta and Matsushita Ryuki respectively. However, these two names are not important to either Kishimoto Shingo or Ishikawa Risa.

However, considering their past as colleagues, Kishimoto Shingo felt compelled to rescue them. Coupled with his own limited strength, he could only agree to let Ishikawa Risa break into the Shinto Hall alone to rescue them.

A short while later, Risa Ishikawa passed through the Shinto Hall's main gate and entered the building.

For some unknown reason, the interior of the building was pitch black, and Ishikawa Risa could barely see a few feet around her.

A few feet is enough.

She could clearly see that the police inspectors lying at her feet had been torn to pieces by the ghosts, and the scene was a river of blood.

Such a bloody scene was something Ishikawa Risa had never seen before. If it weren't for the magic staff, she would have been so scared that she would have wet her pants.

Unexpectedly, the Shinto Office suffered such a blow the next day at work, and Ishikawa Risa was also "crushed".

Getting back to the main point, as Ishikawa Risa stepped over the corpses and went deeper inside, she soon saw Shimizu Suzune and Morita Jun fighting against countless ghosts.

Ghosts kept emerging, and that alone made it difficult for them to extricate themselves.

What's even more suffocating is that above their heads hangs a doll that looks just like Hanako.

As soon as Ishikawa Risa saw this thing, she noticed something flying overhead—it was the deflated giant doll that had been outside.
