Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Page 126

"Hidden world and otherworld are actually the same thing."

The East is known as the Hidden World, where all sorts of monsters live.

However, due to the incomplete rules of the hidden world, the monsters inside cannot increase their demonic power through cultivation.

This resulted in their weakness; most of them were only about as strong as humans, and even weaker than lower-level demons.

"Great demons and gods possess the power to make the heavens weep and the earth cry."

"Therefore, in this world, only they possess the ability to create something from nothing."

Grandpa explained to Gu Yun, "The great demon is like a perpetual motion machine, constantly emanating demonic power to nourish the hidden world."

However, not all hidden worlds are inhabited by great demons.

Only those shattered worlds that are best preserved and largest in scale are occupied by demons of the great yokai level.

"Then, what about another world?"

"The other world is actually the hidden world of the West."

The other world was originally the human world of the West, an era where monsters, heroes, and humans coexisted, much like in Greek mythology.

However, as the ancient world shattered, only a portion of the ancient beings survived and fled to another world, where they eventually multiplied and thrived.

Monsters—that's what Westerners call the inhabitants of another world.

"Monsters and demons share the same origin."

Shiro Tsubagi said, "It is only because of the differences in regional culture that they have evolved into two different species over a long period of time."

Some of these are quite well-known and popular in Japan, such as the snake people, the harpy-faced sea monsters, centaurs, mermaids, and Arakne (spider girls), among others.

However, because the other world is mostly close to the West, these kinds of monsters are very rare in Japan.

"Are monsters very powerful?"

"Forehead…"

The two elderly people exchanged a glance, unsure how to comment: "They're not exactly amazing, just a bit special."

"Specifically refers to..."

"What monsters fear, demons do not fear."

Grandpa said, "The reason why dealing with monsters is so troublesome is because we don't know what they actually are."

Just like a Taoist priest who had never encountered a vampire before, mistaking it for a mutated zombie, he went up and splashed the vampire with black dog blood.

Vampires are not only unafraid, but their ferocity increases significantly.

Even if strong people like Grandpa and Tsuba make a mistake, it won't be a big deal.

But for ordinary sorcerers, a single misstep could cost them their lives.

"If we break down exorcists, we should be called demon exorcists, but in the world of exorcists, there is another profession called exorcist."

Grandpa said, "They are the real experts when it comes to dealing with monsters that enter the country."

"expert?"

Gu Yun's lips twitched slightly, because in the world of exorcism, this word didn't seem to have a positive connotation.

"He's bad at the game but loves to play."

Tsujiro and his grandfather spoke in unison, their tone full of disdain.

In their eyes, exorcists' methods were all heretical and not worth mentioning.

"In short, both the other world and the secluded world are good places."

Shiro Tsubagi frequents secluded brothels and otherworldly establishments: "There are fox spirits in the secluded world, and fox-eared girls in the otherworld. Both are adorable."

"Cough cough."

Grandpa said with displeasure, "Don't corrupt my Gu Yun, Jinchang."

That old playboy won't be able to corrupt his 'pure' grandson!

"I know, I know."

"Why are you being so serious? It was just a joke. Snail, you're really not funny."

Tsuji waved his hand impatiently, then whispered to Gu Yun, "Come to my place in a couple of days and see Suzuran and Akatsuki. If you like them, I'll entrust them to you."

"it is good."

The other party was a spider demon, and Gu Yun felt that if he made contact with it, he might be able to awaken Jorogumo, so he readily agreed.

"..."

And so, the three of them stood on the cliff, enduring the cold wind for a while.

"Well..."

Tsuba suddenly spoke up: "Tanigumo, your Inari God should be arriving soon, right?"

"very strange."

Gu Yun was also puzzled: "I notified her a quarter of an hour ago, but why hasn't she come yet?"

'null?'

'Xiao Kong, are you there?'

'Please respond if you heard me.'

Kong Huan did not respond when asked the first time.

Gu Yun thought she might be asleep, or maybe she was sneaking food somewhere again.

But there was still no response the second and third times, which made Gu Yun's heart jump: 'Could something have happened?'

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

Fortunately, the worry didn't last long, as the chariot of the Inari god flew in from afar.

"coming!"

Gu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had successfully shown off and hadn't been embarrassed.

"Grandpa, Mr. Tsuba."

Gu Yun looked at the divine carriage that had landed in front of him and gestured for the two seniors to get in first: "Please get in."

"okay."

The two elderly people entered the divine carriage, and Gu Yun followed closely behind.

"boom!!"

The moment Gu Yun touched the divine chariot, a voice like a thunderclap exploded in his mind: "Master, something has happened!!"

"Xiao Kong?"

Gu Yun quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Due to the dimensional difference, there is strong 'signal' interference between the present world and the underworld, causing a certain delay in communication between Gu Yun and the shikigami.

It wasn't until Gu Yun came into contact with the ethereal divine chariot that their connection changed from wireless to wired, thus minimizing the latency.

"Sorry, Master."

Kong Huan's voice trembled slightly: "Yu Yao, that guy Yu Yao, attacked Xiao Huan."

"What did you say?!"

Kong Huan's sudden question startled Gu Yun, sending a chill down his spine: "Mother?!"

"Huan is fine."

If something happens to Tamaki Iijima, Kūgen will probably be truly ashamed.

Yu Yao is another celestial fox from the same mother as Kong Huan.

He broke into the Iijima family's company and attacked Iijima Tamaki, who was working there.

Fortunately, with the three-tailed fox protecting her closely, Tamaki Iijima was not seriously injured.

"How is Sister Fox?"

"The Three-Tails was also unharmed."

Almost the instant the Three-Tailed Fox and Yu Yao clashed, Kong Huan arrived at the scene and blocked Yu Yao's attack.

The opponent did not want to fight Kong Huan and chose to retreat immediately.

And now, Miss Tianhu is chasing after Yuyao…

"I will be right back!"

Gu Yun didn't know Yu Yao's exact strength, but he was Kong Huan's younger brother (sister) after all, and there was no way he could harm Kong Huan, who was his older sister.

"Xiao Kong, go and inform Prajna..."

"no!"

Kong Huan sternly refused: "They must protect their master's physical body and absolutely cannot leave."

Prajna and Xiaobai have important work to do, so they cannot act rashly.

Otherwise, if any demons or monsters were to harm Gu Yun and the snail, who would protect them?

"I'll find that kid!"

Kong Huan had never been so serious before: "This time, I will definitely bring him before the master and explain everything clearly!"

When the time comes, she will grit her teeth and accept whatever punishment Gu Yun decides to give Yu Yao.

He only asked Gu Yun for one thing: not to kill him.

Whether it's sealing it away or beating it up, it doesn't matter.

"That's all," Kong Huan's voice trembled with a hint of a sob, "Please..."

"..."
