I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 111: My New Era

2024, March 5, rain.

It's raining heavily.

Raindrops as big as beans hit the window frame and burst out, and star-shaped drops fell into the edge of Uesugi Che's pupils, making him suddenly come back to his senses.

He lowered his head and withdrew his gaze from the silent crowd and the bloodstains that had been diluted to the point of being almost invisible, then raised his head and looked into the clouds of rolling lightning.

Once upon a time, it was just an ordinary natural phenomenon.

But things are different now.

Each surging thunder dragon wantonly released the spiritual energy from the other side of the world.

The wave has not diminished with the passage of time, but has grown larger and larger, penetrating into the world through every natural phenomenon.

Boom——

The deafening thunderstorms rang out one after another, causing the crowd to begin to commotion, but the next moment, a huge barrier dotted with stars rose up, giving everyone an incomparable sense of security.

But even so, people couldn't help but look up, as if they saw a wave rolling back from the sky.

Just like ordinary people unable to suppress their curiosity, at this moment, no matter whether in this world or the eternal world, no matter where they are or what they are doing, as long as they know the coming wave of forces and existences, at this moment, they all raised their heads at the same time -

Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters to the top.

Thunderclouds surged, and the violent tide of spiritual power extended its tiny tentacles slightly towards this height closer to the sky, which could easily tear apart most of the demons and onmyojis who were overconfident.

In the pitch-black clouds, four figures in plain robes stood side by side.

The lightning that could even destroy ordinary ghosts and gods seemed to fall into a long and slow straight road when it came to their side, and then turned into a winding and docile little lightning snake under the entanglement of fingers.

"Visitors from the past, resurrected ghost stories, and forces with ill intentions."

The clear voice spread like a wide-area sound wave, causing all the confused, at a loss, excited, and relieved non-humans to stop in confusion.

"Please remember this."

The next moment, the youngest and tallest man among the four raised five fingers.

Flip.

Beyond the horizon, the inverted pentagram rose from a height of 634 meters. The moment they raised their heads, all the thunderstorms, all the dark clouds, and all the darkness were cleared from their sight.

The sunlight that illuminated the earth shone down again, causing all conscious non-human beings to feel the same coldness at the same time.

——Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, the flags of the Onmyoji Ryo are flying.

The homeless were thrown down from the sky by the waves, as dense as raindrops.

Even if batches of them died on the way due to various reasons, the number of people about to land would still terrify any Onmyoji.

However, the interconnected streets of Kyoto are deserted. Not to mention Onmyoji and Shikigami, even an ordinary person cannot be found.

The homeless people who were preparing to build a new home had no time to feel happy about their good luck. The moment they landed on the ground, they let out miserable and sharp howls and turned into a handful of ashes.

Because every building, every landscape, even every street and stone steps, are engraved with winding and complex ancient Yin-Yang spells.

These Yin-Yang rituals that have been passed down for ages have not lost their effectiveness despite careful maintenance.

The gate of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine was wide open, and the military formation was strict. Small shikigami wearing fox masks and waving fox tails led the monks in different clothes out one after another.

Half an hour later, peace in Kyoto returned to normal.

——Aichi Prefecture, ancient Owari, Tokugawa family.

Fine raindrops fell, dispersing the demon blood that had accumulated at the threshold of the Tokugawa family's house.

At the door, a young man and a young woman in spotless Taoist robes sheathed their swords and walked calmly to the smiling old man who was sitting not far behind, drinking tea under an umbrella. They said in unison,

"Grandfather, the demon has been exorcised."

The old man brewed some tea, stretched out his skinny arm to pick up the teapot, and filled the two empty cups: "Come, Long Er, Xingzi, sit down and have some tea."

"Yes."

The two of them sat on the ground in the rain, holding up the teacups with their hands. Their originally pristine white robes quickly changed color.

The old man leaned back in his rocking chair and spoke slowly, "I heard from Haruhiko that Lilizi seems to have grasped the key to Kenshin. She's one of the best among your younger generation... It's time to bring her back."

"Little sister?!"

Tokugawa Xing, who had a ponytail, showed a surprised expression and almost jumped up: "I told you that my efforts would not be in vain!"

But Tokugawa Ryuji, who was sitting on the other side, calmly closed his eyes and said silently: "Why don't you understand the principle of keeping a hidden dragon in its place..."

He sighed in his heart, raised his head, and drank the boiling hot tea.

"Little sister, now that things have come to this, there's nothing I can do."

——In ordinary times, beside the magnificent and solemn palace, there is silence and no one around.

Katsumi changed his usual attire, taking off the God of Wealth hat and the merchant's attire with the Ukiyo-e folding fan, and wore a solemn black robe and purple skirt, a tall crown on his head, white pens in his ears, and a writing knife on his waist.

He walked alone along the long and silent imperial road paved with bluestone, and came to the young man standing outside the palace. He bowed respectfully,
"Your Highness."

The young man who had raised his head withdrew his gaze and gave him a warm smile: "It's been a long time since we last met, Guanglong. How have you been lately?"

"As you have trusted, I have disguised myself as Prince Shotoku and delivered several children on your behalf."

Sheng Hai bowed slightly, paused, and then carefully considered his words before continuing, "Your humble servant...maybe you've found a hidden dragon in the pond."

"Oh?"

The young man showed a curious expression. "Tell me in detail, so I can hear who is this person whom you, Guanglong, call a hidden dragon in this golden age?"

——Besides this, there are too many.

In the deep darkness, eight chairs and seven figures were arranged around a round table, and countless images of the ordinary and present worlds flickered like stars on it.

In the deepest part of the vast Mount Oe, thousands of ghosts come to pay homage. The gorgeous Shuten-doji casually throws the wine bowl, and raises his hand the moment it breaks, causing countless ghosts and monsters to roar excitedly through the sky.

On the ancient battlefield, the daimyos of the Warring States period all raised their flags and stopped fighting at the same time, looking for new opportunities for conquest amid the heavy footsteps of the cavalry.

Surrounded by the twelve crowns, the emperor with a tall crown on his head quietly stroked the sheepskin map with most of the world painted on it, with a smile on his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In the desolate wilderness, the solitary Zashiki-warashi walks in the center of a wave, trudging along with great difficulty, even at the risk of being crushed to pieces at any moment, in order to obtain the rare object in the center of the wave.

Ancient Taoist temples that had once been closed to the public reopened their doors, families that had been silent for hundreds of years or even longer cleared the trees leading to the city, and those ancient people who had been sealed away by the Great Yin-Yang Technique during an era of spiritual loss were gradually awakening.

Finally—it’s the Special Affairs Office of Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.

After dragging the headless corpses away and disposing of them in public, Lilizi stood in the shadow of an empty place and casually wiped away the liquid on her forehead that she didn't know whether it was rain, blood or sweat.

She gently exhaled a very narrow and long, yet barely detectable, sword of air, raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the cool sunlight spread across her face.

resonance.

Lilizi could clearly feel that the world was resonating with her, eager to imbue her consciousness and soul with the truth of the sword. This was the so-called "sudden enlightenment" or "blessing of the soul" mentioned in ancient texts.

"This is not okay."

The girl shook her head, and the sword heart rose like the brilliant sun, reaching the same frequency as the vast world, and the two of them hung in the same position in the surging waves.

After the infusion of the vast sword principles failed, he did not try again, but just waited quietly.

Lilizi said in a calm but unquestionable voice: "That's right."

"What I want, I will come and get it myself."

She slowly stretched out her five fingers and took the initiative to grab the air in front of her: "Let me see what you wrote here."

Different from the sword theory that was forcefully instilled into her mind, Lilizi took the initiative to plunge into it, observing and browsing it, occasionally exclaiming with joy, and shaking her head and sighing.

Take a panoramic view of the ocean of sword theory and summarize the strengths of all schools to make them your own.

After a short while, Lilizi opened her eyes again and breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the legendary communication between heaven and man. It's truly a feast for the eyes."

The sword moves with slight flaws became more exquisite and flawless, and the already sharp secrets and postures became so sharp that ordinary people could not resist them.

The shackles that had troubled Ririk for a long time were broken with a crisp snap at this accidental opportunity. Her natural rational flow has now reached perfection. Perhaps it will not be long before it is renamed "Riririkyu".

——If this change happened to Uesugi Tetsu, it would probably show that the natural rational flow had broken through from the expert level to the master level.

Of course, there is one most important change.

Lilizi raised her eyes and was surprised to find that a wonderful area was formed in a radius of ten feet with herself as the center.

As her mind moved slightly, a cold sword light appeared and disappeared in the air.

Lilizi was slightly startled and murmured, "So the little knowledge about sword masters mentioned in ancient texts is true. Something like a domain will indeed appear."

Surprises really come one after another.

Lilizi turned her head and smiled when she saw the figure waving hello from upstairs. "Uesugi-kun, it's really great to be born in this era with you."

——After greeting Ririko, Uesugi Tetsu continued to listen to Nanjo Aimi’s “sermon” in mid-air.

In his opinion, this could indeed be called a sermon.

The extraordinary knowledge that had to be hidden in the past and forbidden to ordinary people, including Yin-Yang magic, breathing techniques and the relationship between the present world and the ordinary world, are all revealed.

This will provide everyone with a brand new and promising upward path.

"—In the days ahead, the Special Affairs Office will not only establish a 'Demon Class' in each school specifically for students studying demons, strange stories, and other basic knowledge, but will also assign additional teachers to train in Yin-Yang techniques or breathing techniques. Everyone will have equal opportunities to practice."

"Those of you who have left school and entered society don't need to be at a loss. The Special Affairs Office has also set up a website for everyone to access and learn from."

Excited voices could be heard from the crowd from time to time, but many high school students were lost in thought - wouldn't this bring about a revolutionary change in the college entrance examination? And would future club sports also become superpower sports competitions like those in anime?
Someone raised this question.

To this, Nanjo Aimi's answer is naturally,
"Yes."

There was an instant of wailing from the students below. Those admission letters and the championships that were almost certain to win were instantly plunged into the ocean of the unknown.

But rather than wailing, there was more uncontrollable excitement.

Young students who have not experienced social pressure always have more expectations for the future than office workers.

After witnessing the mood of the crowd change from negative to positive, Uesugi Tetsu looked around again at the cameras and reporters who had been working hard around him.

He believed that the mood of all those who watched this sermon from beginning to end on TV or mobile phones would turn from gloomy to sunny, and from that moment on, they would look forward to the future, even if it was just a little bit.

"Nanjo-sister, you look pretty good as a leader."

Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a wonderful resonance.

[Due to the incoming wave, your spiritual power is affected, and your spiritual attribute is increased by +2.]

[Because of the incoming wave, your will is affected by it, will attribute +1. ]

[Due to the incoming wave, your demonic incarnation, the three-tailed fox, has sensed the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and its quality has been upgraded to epic! ]

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly, and he took out the Three-Tailed Fox card from his storage backpack. He found that this exquisite card, which originally had mercury lines flowing on the border, had quietly changed.

A shining gilded border wrapped around the edge of the card, and the original three tails on the card suddenly had another one added, breaking the shackles of three tails.

The three-tailed fox on the card... no, should I say four-tailed fox has also changed its posture.

She is no longer secretive, like a woman holding a lute and half covering her face. Instead, she casually holds a folding fan, opens her heart, and sits casually on a chair made of white jade, announcing her presence to everyone who sees the card.

Generous and heroic.

After staring at the four-tailed fox in the card for a while, Uesugi Tetsu transformed it into the item it became after the demon incarnation level was upgraded to epic, a square, warm and soft jade plate.

Feeling the spiritual power surging and rising in his body again, Uesugi Che smiled, and then looked out calmly.

The terrifying sound of the surging waves still exists, and the aftermath has not stopped, but is getting more and more intense, but the sky has cleared, the fires in the city have been extinguished, the fear and panic have been soothed, and the star-studded barrier protects everyone.

Spiritual energy, demonic energy, ghostly energy and too many indescribable auras rose together, interweaving and merging above the sky, completely explaining that this world is no longer the same.

The ordinary world that fell into the abyss a thousand years ago surfaced, trying to reconnect with the human world.

The overlords of the times since ancient times are eager to try, the legends in ancient history are gradually awakening, and countless conspiracies are still surging in the shadows.

This is not a good era where those who do nothing can live in peace.

Opportunities, expectations, crises, destiny, hope, the future of everyone is displayed in the wave of the times that is coming, and it is still unknown.

“This is my new era.”
