I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 398 Crushing the Lantern of Human Heads, the Strange Murder Pattern Fails? True Knowledge Can See Through the Six-Tailed Fox's Disguise!

Three pale-faced, empty-bodied lanterns emitting a faint red glow flew over, revealing venomous and chilling smiles.

Kujo Machi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and was almost paralyzed with fear as he faced the terrifying and bizarre Chisa for the first time.

But neither of them stayed still. Instead, they both put their hands on the curtains at the same time, wanting to close them directly to block the view and red light of the lanterns!
However, Kujo Machi found that the curtain she was holding, which was halfway drawn, suddenly became impossible to pull.

No matter how hard she tried, the curtains remained motionless, as if they were stuck.

Hey, you dead hand, you dead curtain, move it now!!!

Kujo Machi roared inwardly, and as the red light from the three lanterns shaped like human heads drew ever closer, she finally couldn't help but raise her voice and shout to Chisa.
"Little Chisa... Chisa's Mom! Didn't you say your master was incredibly powerful?! Can't you just have him come over here right now and close the curtains?! I can call him Dad, okay?!"

Kujo Machi's forehead veins bulged from straining; he felt he hadn't even used that much force when he was a baby suckling. He continued speaking at an extremely fast pace.
"If we were to be illuminated by the red light of this lantern with human heads on it, our heads might very well fly off like those passersby!"

Despite her extreme terror, Kujo Machi remained remarkably calm, and said in a trembling voice,

"If any of us gets caught in the light, our heads will fly off and merge with the lanterns outside, causing ropes to grow from their bottoms. Then, these lanterns will indiscriminately kill everyone, and their aggression will increase dramatically!"

As the three lanterns resembling human heads drew ever closer, Chisa remained silent. Kujo Machi, however, stared intently and roared.

"Chisa's mom! Why aren't you saying anything!"

She dared not turn her head, for fear that if she did, she would see Chisa's head flying in mid-air.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

The calm voice echoed in Kujo Machi's room, giving her a strange and inexplicable sense of peace.

The girl, who had squeezed the grip strength meter millions of times, suddenly realized that the reason she couldn't pull the curtains was because a hand with skin as white as milk was gently squeezing her wrist.

Kujo Machi's breath hitched. He first turned his head and saw Chisa, whose face was full of joy and admiration.

But before she could turn around again, the red light, which was right in front of her, had already spread to the windowsill and was about to shine in!

Before Kujo Machi could think, he pounced on Chisa and pinned her down.

She gritted her teeth, thinking that if anyone was going to die, it would be her. Anyway, she could play in the revival round, so what was there to be afraid of?
Just fuck them and that's it!
But after a while, Kujo Machi didn't realize that his head was floating up; instead, it remained firmly on his neck.

She remained pressed down on Chisa, and mustered her courage to look out the window.

—Three venomous head lanterns were pressed against the window, staring intently at her.

In an instant, Kujo Machi was so frightened that he felt his blood run cold.

But it took her a few seconds to gradually realize what was happening.

The red light almost filled the outside of the window, but it couldn't shine into the room no matter what.

It's like encountering an invisible wall... Why is that?
Kujo Machi paused, looking at the owner of the hand that had been pressing down on her wrist.

Then, a boy with a handsome and dashing face, a profound and imposing temperament, and a body that was so delicate it was almost unreal, yet contained a dazzling vitality, appeared before my eyes.

Based on Kujo Makichi's extensive training knowledge and experience, this boy's physique can truly be described as "perfect"!
Kujo Machi stared at him for a while, then finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Holy crap, that's so damn cool!"

More importantly... in her eyes, this boy was a completely human being, not some fake human or monster disguised as a human!

She glanced at the glowing shrine in Chisa's arms and hesitated before asking, "Chisa, is this your...master?"

Chisa was nodding in response when Uesugi Tetsu's indifferent voice rang out.
“My name is Uesugi Tetsuya, Miss Kujo, you can just call me Uesugi-kun.”

Yes...it's genuine.

Listening to this reassuring voice, Kujo Machi swallowed hard, feeling a warm, damp sensation inside her hot pants.

She glanced carefully at the top of Chisa's head again and found that the fleshy ball that had originally opened all ten pupils was now closed.

"Is Chisa's beautiful, eerie, fleshy master really human?"

Uesugi Tetsu glanced knowingly at Kujo Machi, whose eyes were darting around furtively, and said to her,
"Miss Kujo, although I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me, I can guess that it's probably not a good thing."

Kujo Machi looked at him in astonishment.
"He can read minds?!"

“I can’t read minds,” Uesugi Tetsu replied expressionlessly. “But Miss Kujo, your face has already betrayed all your thoughts.”

Kujo Machi was taken aback by his words. After slapping herself twice more, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She released Chisa from beneath her and asked somewhat awkwardly,
"Sir Uesugi, why isn't the red light from the lanterns with human heads shining in?"

"Just a little trick."

Uesugi Tetsu shrugged: "All you need to do is distort the light with spiritual power. It seems that the red light of these lanterns follows certain physical laws, but it's also possible that it's just due to spiritual power."

"Spiritual power?!"

Kujo Machi immediately revealed an incredibly expectant look in his eyes.

“Yes.” Uesugi Tetsu nodded his chin. “One of the energies that can make people transcend ordinary beings.”

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Uesugi Tetsu pointed to the three lanterns resembling human heads outside, which seemed to want to kill him with their gazes, and rubbed the lightning between his fingers.
"Let's study these things and figure them out before we go out."

He didn't raise his hand to unleash the Five Thunder Technique or use any other means to destroy the three eyesore lanterns, even though this was as simple as breathing for Uesugi Tetsuya.

Given the current limited information available in Asahikawa City, it is necessary to strategically despise the enemy while tactically taking them seriously.

"it is good……"

Kujo Machi nodded honestly.

The Uesugi Tetsuya in front of her seemed so convincing that she finally understood why Chisa had praised her master so highly before.

That's fucking reassuring!

Uesugi Tetsu stared silently at his lantern with the human head on it for a moment, then asked the two of them, "If I open the window now and try to smash my lantern, is that alright?"

"No, no, no! Mr. Uesugi, if you blow up your own lantern, you'll die too! I've seen plenty of examples..."

Chisa Kujo quickly said, "Try not to open the windows, and just avoid the balloons that correspond to you or seal them away."

"Is that so?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded cautiously, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but still felt that he should try popping his own balloon first before opening the window.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three great incarnations of the Six-Tailed Fox, the Red Prajna, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon had already attached themselves to his body. The Spider Cutter was quietly worn at his waist, and the faint Lin character incantation on the back of his right hand began to glow. The Myriad Spirits Furnace Core was ready to be fully unleashed in the next second, and the Tribulation Sea Divine Treasury also began to burn fiercely.

They can take swift and decisive action against the lanterns shaped like human heads outside the window at any time!

If you're going to take action, you must be prepared to go all out.

This is true lion hunting rabbit, using all its strength.

Uesugi Tetsu knew that the "gaze" that had originally tried to find the Hundred Eyes Devourer was still there, but it seemed to have fallen into a state of slumber.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to transform directly. Even though that gaze was most likely no higher than the level of a desolate god at the map's upper limit, it couldn't see through his six-tailed fox disguise.

Before Uesugi Tetsuya could open the window, he heard Kujo Machi, who had been eyeing him with admiring glances, suddenly fall to the ground with a thud.

The gaze directed at him was now filled with fear and trembling!
what's the situation?
Uesugi Tetsu blinked, pondered for a moment, and then asked Kujo Machi, who was slumped on the ground, with curiosity.

"Miss Kujo, can you see?"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Kujo Machi's eyes; the answer was self-evident.

Even the Aragami couldn't see through the disguise, yet Kujo Machi could? Those eyes...

With a calm expression, Uesugi Tetsu thought of the black-haired girl who once sat on the bone throne in Edo Castle, and he felt that Hyakume would definitely like her.

Immediately, Uesugi Tetsuya abandoned the idea.

He wasn't so heartless as to attack his own teammates.

On the other side, Kujo Machi was just "licking" Chisa, a young and lovely boy whose whole body exuded a powerful hormonal charm.

In the blink of an eye, the handsome youth transformed into a ferocious and chilling phantom of a black-and-red demon.

Six fluffy tails sprouted from his back, enveloping his body, and most terrifyingly...

Behind the handsome young man, there was another figure with bloodshot eyes and a body covered in sticky black hair. This figure opened its arms and hugged him tightly!
The dark figure actually noticed his gaze and cast a look at him with an unprecedented, intense, and ravenous hunger!

Found! ?
Kujo Machi swore on her warm hot pants that the thing in front of her was definitely one of the most terrifying “things” she had ever seen in her life!

However, all this terror faded rapidly as Uesugi Tetsu extended his hand to her, the oppressive feeling vanished in an instant, and the dark figure with the longing gaze no longer stared at her.

Kujo Machi looked at his palm, then at Uesugi Tetsu, and suddenly, on a whim, asked,

"No, you're not going to eat me?"

Uesugi Tetsu slapped her on the head.
“If you’re sick, go get it treated.”

Kujo Machi, having survived the ordeal, slumped on the bed, her gaze meeting, in a daze, that of the blood-red eyes of the Spider Cutter at Uesugi Tetsuya's waist.

Qing looked at the girl who seemed to see herself, lost in thought.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything more to Kujo Machi, who could actually "see" everything. He opened the window remotely using his inner energy.

"—Mr. Uesugi, don't move!"

Just as the three human-headed lanterns were about to plunge into the house with their venomous gazes, they were frozen in mid-air by the surging, sea-like energy.

Uesugi Tetsu silently sensed it.

"The struggle wasn't very strong; it was probably the strength of a one-star demon."

He tightened his fingers again, using the purest, blazing white lightning he could currently control to annihilate his own head lantern.

Uesugi Tetsu used lightning to wash the Qi Ball hundreds and thousands of times, leaving not even a trace of ash.

Kujo Machi suddenly raised her hands to cover her cheeks, leaving only gaps in her eyes, unable to look any longer.

In an instant, he could feel an invisible and intangible strange power shooting into his deliberately open body from the location of the human head lantern.

The result is... invalid.

He himself did not vanish into thin air like a human head lantern.

Uesugi Tetsu clearly sensed the strange power enveloping and cleansing his body, and couldn't help but sneer.

This is not even one ten-thousandth of the erosion and calamity that his [physical deity] suffered in the sea of ​​tribulation!

Through the gaps between his fingers, Kujo Machi watched as the lantern with the human head disappeared into the lightning, while Uesugi Tetsuya remained unharmed.

She realized.

Perhaps this is the powerful force I have been searching for for over a decade but have yet to obtain.

After pondering for a moment, Uesugi Tetsuya looked at some lanterns with human heads attached to their bottoms in the distance, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed dozens of them with his inner energy.

The strange power couldn't find the human it was originally going to kill, so it all surged towards him.

Two minutes later, Uesugi Tetsu nodded, now absolutely certain that he could completely dissipate this strange power halfway there.

He spoke with Kujo Machi and, after receiving the latter's firm agreement, opened all 190 of his All-Seeing Eyes and then drastically reduced the range.

boom!
The powerful energy crushed the lantern with a human head that looked exactly like Kujo Machi's face.

After a few seconds of heart-pounding fear, the completely unharmed Kujo Machi couldn't help but jump up from the ground, waving her arms and cheering.
"So handsome, fucking handsome!"

Chisa couldn't help but show a smug little expression, as if to say, "This is our amazing master!"
Now, Miss Kujo, do you believe me?

Uesugi Tetsuya used the same method to solve Chisa's head lantern problem, completely eliminating a major hidden danger before going out.

"Master Uesugi, look over there!"

Suddenly, Kujo Machi, standing by the window, said dryly, "It looks like a whole bunch of lanterns are flying towards us from over there..."

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at them, casually waved his hand to conceal the three of them, causing the hundreds or thousands of hideous, pale human head lanterns to suddenly lose their target and wander around.

Snapped!
Kujo Machi knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed to Uesugi Tetsuya, completely disregarding his terrifying "true form."

"If Uesugi-kun does not abandon me, I, Machi, am willing to become his godfather!"

This left Chisa, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

The girl got anxious and kept saying that she had to pull Kujo Machi up.

Uesugi Tetsu's expression twitched slightly, clearly not expecting Kujo Machi to do something like this.

An invisible spiritual force surged forth, forcefully lifting the kneeling girl to her feet.

Why...why can't I kneel down?!

Kujo Machi was enraged, roaring in his heart.

—Damn it, kneel down!
After kneeling more than ten times, she realized that it was Uesugi Tetsuya who used a magical power to prevent her from kneeling.

Kujo Machi felt a pang of sadness and thought to himself.

If I could obtain extraordinary power like "spiritual power," I would be willing to kneel down before Uesugi Tetsuya, acknowledge him as my godfather and become his disciple, or even be sexually assaulted by him a thousand times!
Uesugi Tetsu shook his head helplessly, temporarily ignoring the "seeing" superhuman girl, and thought to himself—

Now that the problem of the human head lanterns has been temporarily resolved, we should hurry up and find the priest and shrine maiden who are suspected to be from Shiratsu Shrine.

Asahikawa City has become like this in just one or two days. Heaven knows what kind of hellish place it will become if this continues for a few more days.

So we have to hurry, otherwise something unexpected might happen along the way.

But it seems to be getting late now; it won't be long before it's time to get off work, and then Kujo Machi's parents will be back.

It's a tough choice...

At this moment, Kujo Machi, who couldn't bring herself to kneel down no matter what, mustered up her courage and spoke, drawing Uesugi Tetsu's attention.

"Mr. Uesugi, are you... a human or a monster?"

"Oh?"

Uesugi Tetsu turned to look at her, his eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Miss Kujo, what did you see? Please tell me in detail."

Kujo Machi looked at the man who was now right up to her nose, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her, and a chill ran through her.

You will die.

I'm sure I'll die!
