Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The three ignored the door and walked straight through it, then entered the room and saw a corpse lying on the tatami mat with a white cloth covering its body.

"come yet?"

A group of people, men, women, and children, surrounded the body, crying with great sorrow.

Beside them stood a middle-aged man, his feet off the ground, casting no shadow, clearly not a living person.

"Hello, are you Mr. Tanaka?"

Ms. Otsuya stepped forward to greet him, and Mr. Tanaka, as if he had been notified in advance, showed no fear and instead responded warmly, "It's me, Ms. Death."

"I'm here to pick you up."

Miss Otsuya's eyes gleamed with black light as she checked Mr. Tanaka's identity.

After confirming that everything was correct, we left the detached house with him.

"People living in Kamakura," Gu Yun thought to himself, "have a one-stop service after death."

When people die elsewhere, their souls transform into will-o'-the-wisps, cross dimensions, and enter the underworld.

Unlike Kamakura, where the Grim Reaper comes to pick you up.

This treatment is blatant regional discrimination!

Tamaki Iijima: I'm a Tokyoite!

Gu Yun: Move to Kamakura, you'll be escorted to the underworld after you die.

Chapter 62 Underworld

"Please come this way, Mr. Tamura."

Led by the Grim Reaper Otoyo, the three arrived at the platform of the station where Kamakura is located, where a train that only the dead can see is waiting.

The train was a very old-fashioned one, with a total of three carriages.

When Gu Yun boarded the train, there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Each of the deceased was accompanied by a Grim Reaper, prompting Gu Yun to once again marvel at the comprehensive life-and-death service offered by Kamakura.

"To reach the underworld, you must find the entrance."

Grandpa said, "Most of the entrances are controlled by the gods of the underworld, with almost no exceptions."

Therefore, the simplest and best way to go to the underworld is to take the underworld track and follow the rules.

Of course, this is a one-way trip; there is no return.

After all, I've never heard of someone being able to be sent back after they've died.

"There are so many Grim Reapers here."

Gu Yun thought of the awakening mission of Xiu Baixue and stepped forward to greet them: "Um, hello everyone, I am Iijima Gu Yun. It's nice to meet you all."

"Oh. Oh."

The Grim Reapers were somewhat confused, but they still shook hands with Gu Yun.

【Sleeves of White Snow】

Awakening Requirement: Contact 10 benevolent deities who can guide the souls of the dead (Completed)

Awakening Method: Call out the name 'Sode Shirayuki' in your heart to awaken your Zanpakuto.

"It's done!"

"Once we get back, let's summon Sode no Shirayuki."

There were still many Grim Reapers in the carriage. In order to avoid offending anyone, Gu Yun got to know the rest of them before returning to his seat.

Is this young master's first time going to the Yellow Springs?

Miss Yiye is very close to her grandfather.

She had once accidentally let a deceased person who needed guidance escape, causing the person to become a vengeful spirit.

At the time, Iijima, who was still quite young, met the troubled Ms. Otsuya and helped her catch the vengeful spirit.

Fortunately, the other party's resentment was not very strong.

With his grandfather's spiritual power, he was able to dispel the curse and purify it.

Because of this incident, Miss Yiye became her grandfather's guide when he was smuggling himself to the underworld, helping him to go between life and death many times.

"Yes, this is my first time."

Gu Yun asked, "Is there anything I should be careful about in the Yellow Springs?"

“Nothing special,” Miss Otoyo said. “Just don’t go to Hell, and don’t get close to the residences of the gods of the underworld.”

The underworld is part of the divine realm and is located in the fifth dimension.

Let alone ordinary spirits, even a death god like Miss Otoya is not qualified to enter.

"Yeah, I remember."

The other party extended their affection to the family because of their grandfather's influence.

Gu Yun knew the purpose of this journey to the underworld, so he began to take advantage of the connections and relationships he had built up here.

"Speaking of which, what level of exorcist is Master Iijima now?"

"I once exorcised a slit-mouthed woman, which was a mid-level ghost story."

"That's an intermediate-level exorcist!"

Miss Yiye was very surprised. For Gu Yun's age to be able to defeat a monster comparable to a mid-level demon was truly astonishing.

"Yeah~~"

Miss Otsuya said self-deprecatingly, "She's much better than me."

"As for me, I can barely deal with lower-level demons, and if I encounter a mid-level demon, I can only hold them off for a while," Miss Yiye scratched her head, "Anyway, I definitely can't beat them, hahaha."

Described as a 'benevolent deity' in the scroll, Miss Otsuya's spiritual status is quite high.

However, she is a product of the rules of the underworld and cannot be directly equated with 'human spirit'.

Within the exorcism community, human spirituality and potential are categorized to a certain extent.

No spirit level, which means 0 spirit level.

Such a person cannot see ghosts and does not possess magic.

They are unofficial staff, and Miyako would never acknowledge such people as exorcists.

1-5: Can see ghosts, but cannot cast spells.

In the exorcism world, these people are collectively referred to as 'mediums'.

Mediums can be considered the entry-level exorcists, but most of them do not treat exorcism as their job and do not have the ability to exorcise monsters.

Those ranked 5-10 are legitimate exorcists, no longer frauds.

Although these people possess a certain amount of spiritual power, due to their lack of talent, even basic spells are extremely difficult for them to learn.

The pinnacle he could reach in his lifetime was probably the level of Uncle Domo.

Spirit level 10~20 corresponds to lower-level demons.

If you cultivate diligently, you can face lower-level demons head-on around the age of 20.

It's not a guaranteed win, but it won't be easily defeated either. If you set up barriers and magic arrays in advance, you still have a chance to defeat your opponent.

They are the elite in the exorcism world, and what the snail calls 'ordinary exorcists'.

In terms of strength, even a minor benevolent deity like Miss Otsuya would feel considerable pressure when facing an ordinary exorcist.

She can use her spirit to hide in the dimension of benevolent gods, but her offensive power is surprisingly weak.

After that, 20-30 is intermediate level, and 30-40 is advanced level.

For example, a snail, with a power level above 40, can fight on equal footing with an ordinary special-grade demon without relying on any shikigami, using only its own magic and spiritual power.

If you include the Divine Art, then even if the opponent is a great demon, Grandpa can still hold his own.

Furthermore, a high spirit level does not necessarily equate to strong strength; the two are not absolute.

Grandpa's spiritual level is 40+, and Miyako's is 50+.

If they were to fight, Grandpa was confident he could easily defeat the latter.

The snail is nearly eighty years old, and the spiritual power it has accumulated over those eighty years is quite immense.

Although everyone's period of spiritual power explosion is different, before the age of 35, the spiritual power increase each year will surpass that of the previous year.

After the age of 35, the rate of increase in spiritual power will suddenly drop sharply, and then enter a trough, with the increase becoming smaller year by year.

Miyako is 28 years old this year, and she still has many years ahead of her.

However, after Gu Yun's exorcism ritual, Miyako's spiritual level suddenly improved, along with a replenishment of her spiritual power.

Miyako's spiritual power now is almost the same as that of those born with a spiritual level of 50+ who reach the age of 28.

If we describe it using data...

Before the exorcism ritual, Grandpa's spiritual power was more than five times that of Miyako.

But in just one night, Miyako's spiritual power reached 60-70% of her grandfather's.

If nothing unexpected happens, in another year or two, Miyako's accumulated spiritual power will surpass that of the old man.

There's nothing we can do; people with high spiritual attainment are just that unreasonable.

At the same age, the higher one's spiritual level, the more spiritual power one possesses.

However, spiritual power is not the key to determining victory or defeat.

Grandpa has a complete system of spells, including the Divine Art, which Miyako does not.

This is the real reason why the snail could easily defeat Miyako.

Spells are incredibly important in warlock battles.

It's like a martial arts manual in a wuxia novel; you have a lot of internal strength, but you don't know how to use it.
