I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 130 The mastermind behind the tunnel, the Yellow Turban warrior, come out! (7.3k, monthly ticket requested!)
The Snow Girl remembers it clearly.

This four-tailed fox... This four-tailed fox named "Uesugi Tetsu" must have been killed by myself.

She felt a little sorry at the time, so she left a small piece of ice on purpose.

The snow girl silently used her fingers to pinch out a piece of clear ice crystal from her kimono. There was still a very faint scent of Uesugi Tetsu on it, which she had taken great pains to preserve.

——It was exactly the same aura as the guy standing in front of the hotel not far away.

Intuition told the Snow Girl that this four-tailed fox named Uesugi Tetsu was fundamentally different from the demon in Rugetsu Station and the ordinary demons that had strayed here.

She stroked the ice crystals with her almost pure white fingers, half-closed her cold eyes, and did not act rashly for the time being, choosing to make a sound or to sneak attack and kill the four-tailed fox again.

Instead, she restrained the coldness and breath that surged from her body to the outside world, standing like an ice sculpture behind a thick tree, observing Uesugi Che silently.

It has been three or four hundred years since she came to this area and this forest.

Even the Snow Girl, who is naturally indifferent and quiet, can't help but occasionally have the thought of "going outside and taking a look."

But the Snow Girl herself still doesn't know how to escape from this special place.

Since that was the case, she was also happy to see what surprises Uesugi Toru could bring her.

——If he is doing nothing but meaningless things, it won’t be too late to take action then.

……

In a mountain hotel, Ye Chunzheng was huddled on the bed with his head in his hands, his eyes blank.

More than a month has passed since the four-tailed fox agreed to take him away.

Before this, she would have stuck her head out of the window countless times every day, hoping that one day when she opened the window and looked out, she would see that calm figure.

No.

Not to mention the four-tailed fox, Ye Chun had not even heard of any news related to the four-tailed fox.

It was as if he had been killed that night by the inn's owner, the unpredictable snow woman.

"I want to go home……"

Ye Chun murmured softly, and the thought of escaping from the hotel came to his mind for the umpteenth time.

——But these days, she has seen too many people with the same idea as her escape from the hotel, and then appear in the hotel again without knowing anything not long after.

On the way, he encountered an angry snow woman and was frozen to death by her, killed by wandering translucent souls, and even starved to death...

As long as they leave this hotel, there will be countless ways of death waiting for these unarmed ordinary people.

Ye Chun doesn't want to die.

Because she doesn't want to forget those memories that are very important to her, and doesn't want to forget those memories that cannot be forgotten.

"Perhaps, I shouldn't have believed him that day."

Ye Chun got out of bed numbly, preparing to open the window and take a look outside as usual.

She no longer had any hope that the four-tailed fox would appear.

crunch~
The faint twisting sound of the wooden window was heard in Ye Chun's room.

The girl lay on the windowsill and silently raised her eyes from the wooden floor of the room.

Then, she saw it.

—In the dark forest covered with light frost, the four-tailed fox, wearing a red and white palace official robe and with four long fluffy tails swaying behind him, was waving a folding fan and staring at her with a smile.

"Ugh?"

Ye Chun stood there in shock.

Her first reaction was that she was hallucinating because of her excessive expectations.

This situation has happened before, so it can be eliminated by rubbing your eyes.

Ye Chun closed his eyes as usual, raised his hands and rubbed his eyes vigorously for a while, then looked outside the hotel again.

The four-tailed fox, whose appearance and temperament were unique and could not be faked by others, was staring at her closely and even waved at her.

Really.

it is true.

The numbness, hardship, and anxiety that had accumulated on Ye Chun's face for a long time turned into great joy in an instant, washing away the original expression on her face like a wave.

She immediately raised her hand and wanted to shout hello to Uesugi Tetsu below.

"end--"

But the moment the first word came out of his mouth, Ye Chun immediately covered his mouth, realizing that he could not speak loudly in the silent forest.

Although the Snow Girl left the hotel, God knows whether her howling would cause any unexpected accidents.

——When Uesugi Tetsu saw Ye Chun covering his mouth after uttering only one word, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ye Chun controlled his emotions.

But it’s also his fault.

If he could run quietly into Ye Chun's room from outside, he could cover her mouth himself.

Then there won't be any surprises.

A flash of thought flashed through his mind. Uesugi Che controlled the volume and direction of his voice, used his breathing technique, and said to Ye Chun's room, "Hurry up and jump down directly."

The gentle voice reached Ye Chun's ears across a distance of twenty or thirty meters, as if the four-tailed fox was standing next to her and whispering.

Without thinking, Ye Chun raised his leg and stepped on the window sill, then jumped out of the window.

Whoosh!

The cold wind in the middle of the night whistled past her ears. When an extremely strong feeling of weightlessness swept over Ye Chun's body, she suddenly realized what a stupid thing she had done.

She lowered her head blankly and immediately saw that she was still more than twenty meters away from the ground.

Ye Chun felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

At this distance, even if the four-tailed fox could catch her, she would probably be broken into several pieces.

After all, she is not one of those physically powerful monsters. She is just an ordinary person who would be out of breath after running a few hundred meters.

But the four-tailed fox would never have thought of this. Perhaps he was just measuring himself by his own physical fitness, so he told her to jump down.

In an instant, intense fear and regret rose from the girl's heart.

It's over. I'm going to die.

Ye Chun clenched his fists and closed his eyes, hoping that the pain would be less severe when it came.

Since she is certain to die, it would be better to let her die quickly!

pat.

But the expected pain did not come. Instead, the warmth of another person's body coming from the bottom of his thighs and back made Ye Chun shiver.

Am I... not dead?

Ye Chun opened his eyes tremblingly, and then saw the face that seemed to contain a smile in its calmness.

"Ye Chun, long time no see."

She heard the other party say,

"I'm here to fulfill my promise."

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the girl in his arms, who was cowering in fear like a helpless little rabbit: "I'll take you..."

But before he could finish his words, he felt Ye Chun hugging him tightly, and then very low sobs and crying came from inside his robe.

"Four-tailed fox, I'm so scared, I'm really scared..."

"I've waited for you for so long, but you never showed up... I'm afraid you'll forget everything you said to me. I'm afraid I'll die here, and then, like everyone else, forget my past bit by bit, becoming someone no longer like myself..."

Uesugi Che listened quietly, and at the same time, he carried Ye Chun and quickly rushed towards the SUV at the foot of the mountain.

Just holding Ye Chun alone did not affect Uesugi Che's speed of travel.

——If he doesn’t even have this ability to balance and bear weight, then all his breathing techniques and natural rational flow training would be in vain.

By the time Uesugi Che arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ye Chun in his arms had finally vented all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

However, even when I am emotionally broken, I can consciously keep my voice as low as possible.

Shang Shan Che lowered his head and looked at Ye Chun, who had turned her head away and stopped sobbing, with red eyes and a few tears still in the corners of her eyes. He raised two fingers to her.

"First, my name is Uesugi Tetsu."

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ye Chun's eyes with the back of his finger, and said calmly but seriously,
"Second, I will get you away from Kisaragi Station."

Uesugi Che opened the passenger door of the SUV, gently placed Ye Chun on the soft seat, stared into her eyes and said, "I promise you."

Ye Chun didn't reply, as if he hadn't recovered yet. He just kept his eyes following Uesugi Che in a daze.

Uesugi Che sat in the driver's seat, turned the key, and stepped on the accelerator with all his strength.

The SUV started like a beast out of a cage and rushed towards the Izanuki Tunnel.

Ten seconds later.

In the forest, a corner of the white kimono was revealed.

The Snow Girl stared at the SUV's departure quietly: "As expected, he came to look for that girl..."

During the long time after becoming the owner of the inn, Xue Nu was of course aware of Ye Chun's special qualities.

Similarly, she also knew that after Ye Chun's death, the entire "world" would undergo a strange restart, causing time to flow back to a certain point.

As a demon who mistakenly entered the Kisaragi Station, the Snow Woman will also be affected by the restart, but in contrast, her memory will not be affected at all.

She also discovered that other living souls would lose part of their souls after death, but Ye Chun would not.

No matter how many times Ye Chun died or how many times the world restarted, when the Snow Girl saw her again after a long absence, the girl still had a complete soul.

The Snow Girl was unwilling to investigate the reason.

She just wanted to manage herself and the hotel well.

"But if his actions can end the endless cycle of reincarnation caused by this girl, I have no objection..."

The Snow Girl murmured softly to herself.

——As for the guests in the hotel realizing how much time has passed and the consequences of realizing this truth, it will be her responsibility.

"That way, they can all be at peace."

The Snow Girl gently closed her eyes, and specks of frost and snow fell from the tips of her eyelashes and landed on the leaves and soil at her feet.

This ending seems pretty good.

……

The SUV was barely affected on its way to the Isanukan Tunnel.

Because Nishaku-sama can stick his head out from the skylight and beat the life and death drum, he can easily drive away the demons blocking the road.

In Kisaragi Station, where the other three demons had been exorcised by Uesugi Tetsu, there was really no other threat except the Chi Qun.

So it didn't take much time for Uesugi Tetsu to bring Ye Chun to a place not far in front of the Izanukan Tunnel.

The SUV slowed at the entrance to the tunnel.

Uesugi Che turned around and said to Ye Chun, who was clenching his fists in shock at the speed of the car, but still staring straight ahead with his eyes wide open,

"The next section is an unknown road, where anything can happen. So Ye Chun, you must remember not to open the car door no matter what happens..."

Uesugi Tetsu sat in the driver's seat and muttered something.

After a few minutes, he realized that many of his words were unnecessary, so he sighed and said,

"Anyway, be mentally prepared first."

"Ok!"

Ye Chun nodded heavily and checked whether the seat belt was fastened.

I don't know why they didn't go to Ruzuki Station to wait for the train, but instead drove the car into this deep tunnel.

But Ye Chun would not question the man next to him who rescued him from the hotel... uh, the male demon.

Uesugi Tetsu took out a lot of equipment from the storage space, including the Komainu bell hanging around his waist, the cold steel arm armor on his arms, and the broken chick crown hanging on his ears.

Of course, there is also the Hercules Talisman that can be used as a trump card.

Uesugi Tetsu solemnly stuffed the yellow talisman into the lining around his waist, making sure it could be used at any time in case of an emergency.

If there is anything else, then...

Uesugi Che took out the Immaculate Hina and handed it to Ershaku-sama who was standing on the seat. The latter was stunned for a moment, and his little face suddenly turned red.

Without any explanation, Uesugi Che understood what was going on in her little head.

"This is equipment." He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "equipment". "Put it on and see if it fits you."

“Po…Okay!”

Ershaku-sama took the white-faced Wuque Mihina and put it on in a hurry.

Ye Chun sat in the passenger seat and watched this scene, his eyes moving back and forth between the obviously adult Uesugi Che and the petite Ershiku-sama.

Could it be that Uesugi-kun likes this super small one?
She hesitated for a moment and asked,
"Uesugi...Mr., among you monsters, can you marry underage monsters as your wives?"

Uesugi Tetsu's face darkened when he heard this. He rubbed his temple and explained to Ye Chun, "This is Nichi-sama. You can think of her as my shikigami—that is, my partner."

"I'm wearing this White Wedding Dress now purely because it was blessed by a master, so it has some magical effects. It has nothing to do with its own meaning."

"Oh..." Ye Chun nodded, not quite understanding, and then he understood a little.

——This delicate and pretty little girl is not Uesugi Toru’s wife.

that's enough.

Soon after, as Nishaku-sama put on the automatically proportionally shrunk White Wedding Dress, a prompt popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsu's eyes -

[Your Shikigami, Yashakuoname, is equipped with Immaculate Mihina. ]

[Current adaptability: 30%]

[The current compatibility has not reached 100%, so the hidden effect cannot be triggered.]

[The current compatibility is too low, all effects of Immaculate Hina are weakened by 30%.]

Uesugi Tetsu: “…”

As expected, Erchisama's personality doesn't quite match this equipment.

But it's okay, the effect has just decreased a little.

The two very good effects can still be used normally, and the defense of the Immaculate Miho itself is also sufficient, which is better than having nothing to wear.

"Popo! Master Che, I suddenly feel full of strength!"

The two-foot-tall man raised his little hand, clenched his fist, and looked surprised.

"That's why I'm asking you to wear it."

Uesugi Tetsu waved his hand and said, "Okay, get ready to play the drums in your hands later, don't think about anything else."

"poof!"

Ershaku-sama nodded seriously, poked his little head out of the SUV's sunroof again, and looked nervously into the pitch-black Izanuki Tunnel.

"I'm going to step on the gas, you two get ready."

After giving the order, Uesugi Che slowly stepped on the accelerator and let the SUV slowly drive into the tunnel.

As soon as the SUV drove into the tunnel, a strange feeling vaguely rose in Uesugi Che's heart.

The plucked heartstrings indicated that Erchiku-sama felt the same thing.

It seems that the method of driving an SUV into the Isanukan Tunnel is correct.

After confirming, Uesugi Tetsu began to step on the accelerator hard.

Amid the floating sound of the life and death drum, the SUV plunged straight into the pitch-black Izanuki Tunnel, as if rushing into the abyss without hesitation.

buzzing.

Shhhhhh.

Hu Hu Hu.

Ever since driving into the Izanuki Tunnel, Uesugi Tetsu has been hearing rounds of strange and meaningless sounds.

He asked Erchisama and Ye Chun, and found that the voices they heard were actually different.

Lord Erchi frowned tightly and said that there were constant sounds of gunfire outside, which were the noises that factory owners would definitely make before building their factories.

Ye Chun said that outside she could hear her parents and relatives calling out to her, and that as long as she got off the car she would be able to see her family.

"Don't believe it."

Uesugi Che spoke, and his immense energy, along with the convergence of the spirit technique and the release of internal energy, spread throughout the car in an instant, temporarily fading away the voices in the ears of the other two people.

"No matter what comes from outside—even if it's my voice—don't open the door."

Before Uesugi Tetsu could finish his words, he saw extremely strange changes taking place on both sides of the originally pitch-black tunnel.

Starry sky, sea water, city, continent, crowd, battlefield...

Scenes that originally had nothing to do with the tunnel continued to emerge on both sides of the car like murals, rising clearly like ripples and then fading away.

Immediately afterwards, countless distorted human faces and countless sharp cries appeared above the car, even suppressing the sound of the life and death drum in the hands of Ershaku-sama.

"I hurt so much!"

"It hurts!"

"Come and keep us company!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on!"

Erchi Daren looked up blankly, feeling that his soul was about to be pulled out and fly away by the crying and screaming.

"Two feet! Keep your mind focused!"

Uesugi Tetsu's angry shout brought Nishaku-sama back to his senses.

She shuddered suddenly and began to beat the small drum in her hand with all her might: "Damn it! Who wants to accompany you ugly things? Let you lie to me! Let you lie to me!"

Even though Uesugi Che had stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, he still couldn't escape from the bizarre scenes around him.

He turned his eyes and scanned the surroundings - were these scenes real or fake?
Intuition tells Uesugi Tetsu that it is the former.

So we can't let the car go in the wrong direction...

Before Uesugi Tetsu could finish his thoughts, an old train came rapidly from behind and passed by the SUV.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of wheels colliding with rails passed by my ears.

Uesugi Tetsu originally thought that this was just one of the countless scenes that would pass by.

But the next moment, three familiar figures slowly crawled out of the old train.

Astonishingly—

Baka-dori, taiko bells, and the limping highway grandpa!
what! ?

Uesugi Che's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked at the three extremely familiar demons standing on the train carriage, and then looked at them in unison.

In an instant, thoughts suddenly emerged in Uesugi Che's mind, and countless ideas flashed through his sea of ​​thoughts.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and immediately said to Ye Chun beside him, "Ye Chun, you take the steering wheel and keep the accelerator pressed to the bottom."

The girl was stunned by this sudden order.

She waved her hands quickly, sounding like she was about to cry: "Uesugi-kun, I'm just a high school student and I can't drive..."

"Hold the steering wheel tight and floor the accelerator!" Uesugi Tetsu stared at the three-headed demon that had already rushed to within ten meters of the SUV, and finally said to the girl who had already unbuckled her seat belt: "I believe you!"

The moment Uesugi Tetsu took his hands off the steering wheel, a pair of seemingly weak and powerless hands gripped the steering wheel for him.

The speed of the SUV slowed down instantly, but even so, the relative distance between them and the three demons on the side of the car did not change at all.

It was as if someone was controlling the train next to it.

Uesugi Tetsu jumped out of the skylight and stepped on the roof of the car, which had ample footholds.

He pulled out Kaga Kiyomitsu and flicked its blade at the same time: "Xiao Jia, don't affect your feet."

Kaga Kiyomitsu trembled slightly, and then the domain of the sorrow of separation shrank to the blade, making the blade that was originally covered with pale strands turn pure white.

"Alright." Uesugi Tetsu transformed into White Prajna, and the evil ghost smiled grimly at the defeated general he had killed. "Anyone want to die here?"

thump.

thump...

Before the jade hammer of the taiko bell could strike the huge taiko twice, it turned into rustling fragments under a ray of pale sword light and instantly floated away in the wind.

The red deer and Grandpa Gao on both sides chose to turn a blind eye to this and rushed towards him with strange cries.

——We can’t let these two demons land on the car.

Uesugi Che's mind suddenly changed.

Coronal Breathing Method: Form 5!

He exhaled a hot breath, and lightning on his body surged. In a flash, two of the largest lightning bolts were released and struck the two demons that pounced on the SUV from mid-air.

The damage from the lightning is certainly better than nothing, but the important thing is——

This made Malu Haizi and Grandpa Gaoku stop moving.

With a snap of his fingers, the pure white thread cut through the desolate white mist and killed the two demons that had troubled him for a long time.

Blood and body parts fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the SUV threw them out of sight.

"call……"

Uesugi Che wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to get back into the car, but he heard the same sound of a moving train from behind him.

"It's never going to end!"

Bai Prajna cursed angrily and turned her cold gaze to look at the second train that was gradually catching up with the SUV.

In that long and narrow carriage, countless translucent human figures surged, even filling the windows of each carriage and causing them to crack.

Among them, there are obviously countless demons.

The monsters, contrary to their usual behavior, stretched out their hands and heads towards their SUV, trying to rush out of the car and crawl towards them.

"This amount is a bit difficult to handle."

Uesugi Tetsu looked down and found that Nishaku-sama was sweating profusely and was beating the life and death drum with all his might.

However, the Life and Death Drum seemed to have lost its original effect and had no effect on the demons that had gradually climbed to the outside and top of the carriage.

"It seems that someone is behind these two trains, the mysterious appearance of the three-headed demon and these monsters."

Uesugi Tetsu thought with an expressionless face.

——But the more the mastermind behind the scenes doesn’t want them to do something, the more it proves that they are doing the right thing!
"Don't think you're the only ones who can shake people."

Uesugi Tetsu changed back into the four-tailed fox incarnation, shook the bell, and at the same time injected spiritual power into the Hinakura above his head.

clap clap.

Three huge armored Komainu and five Hina figures dressed as ashigaru, armed with katana and spears, landed on the top of the SUV, even causing the car's speed to drop sharply.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the Komainu and humanoids falling like dumplings.

——[Komainu Team Leader (Two Stars)].

——[Ashigaru humanoid (one and a half stars)].

Two stars and one and a half stars - very good, already a decent fighting force.

"Go occupy the roof of the other car!"

As Uesugi Tetsu gave the order, the Komainu roared ferociously, leaped high into the air like armored beasts, and slammed into the roof of the carriage.

The foot soldiers followed silently behind, brandishing sharp swords and spears, beheading the demons that wanted to attack the Komainu one by one.

Uesugi Tetsu was still standing on the roof of the car, killing all the fish that had escaped the net.

For a moment, the eight summoned creatures and Uesugi Tetsu actually suppressed thousands of Chihai inside the carriage, and any Chi that showed its head would be killed.

"But how long will it take to get out of the tunnel..."

Uesugi Che turned his eyes and looked towards the endless tunnel ahead.

If this were the real Isanukan Tunnel, I would have driven through it five or six times already.

But now we can’t judge it by common sense.

"Ouch——"

Uesugi Tetsu looked back and saw an exhausted Komainu being grabbed from the roof of the train by hundreds of translucent hands, and then disappeared in an instant after falling to the bottom of the train.

Once there is one, there will be two. Not long after, one of the foot soldiers accidentally had its feet removed and was thrown into the railway tracks and shattered into pieces.

Even though the average quality and strength of the summoned creatures far surpass those of these Chis, most of which are only half-star, the Chis are endless and have no fear of death.

If this continues, it won't be long before all the summoned creatures are wiped out.

Tsk.

Uesugi Che suppressed the urge to leave the top of the car. He raised his hand, and an orange-red fireball lit up at his fingertips.

call out!
A huge fireball fell into the carriage, turning most of the monsters in the carriage and the interior furnishings into ashes.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu saw the train speed up and bring the next car to a position level with the SUV.

When he looked back again, he saw a carriage that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"You want to use these demons to consume me?"

Uesugi Che's eyes flashed coldly. He had sufficient reason to suspect that this was a means for the mastermind at the other end of the tunnel to weaken his physical and spiritual strength.

——The appearance of these monsters like Chi or highway grandpa can be explained as a natural phenomenon in the tunnel, but what’s the point of changing to another car if the number of Chi in the car decreases?
There was no doubt that there was someone at the other end of the tunnel who was staring closely at them and wanted to kill them.

If he personally tried to kill these endless monsters after his summons were used up, he would definitely fall into the trap designed by the other party.

That being the case.

Then it would be impossible for Shangshan Che to continue following the other party's line of thought!
As soon as he thought of this, Uesugi Che took out the yellow talisman filled with evil spirit from his waist and injected spiritual power into it without hesitation.

"Yellow Turban Warrior! Come out!"

Chi Chi Chi!
Spiritual power illuminated the winding and complex spells, and the yellow talisman slowly burned into ashes in mid-air.

The next moment, an extremely dazzling golden light illuminated the entire tunnel.
