Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

This complementary approach has indeed solved many problems for Gu Yun over the past four years.

Without cooperation from both sides, it's unclear how long this resource issue will trouble Gu Yun.

Just like the previous Masked Demon, Gu Yun needs to create seven masks with emotions and then use them as sacrifices in order to awaken the true Masked Spirit.

In the process, Gu Yun unsurprisingly produced a large number of failed products, namely, the Face Demons.

"where."

Nanami's location is very close to Gu Yun. She has no spiritual power, but her ability to draw talismans has been increasing year by year.

Gu Yun didn't let her sit idle either, but instead took out many talismans for her to learn.

Even now, it is common to see Nanami drawing talismans and Gu Yun infusing them with spiritual power to speed up the production of the talismans.

"As the head of the Iijima school, you need to acquire resources for the development of the school."

Nanami is well aware of Gu Yun's efforts over the years: "Ultimately, we are the ones who should benefit."

"Ah."

Gu Yun was quite gratified that the girl could understand him: "But no matter what, he is still somewhat like an arms dealer."

"But didn't it also save many kind-hearted monsters?"

Gu Yun was initially unsure how to deal with the face demon.

Later, I heard from Shiro Tsubagi that in recent years, due to the increasingly frequent interaction of world cultures, the friction between reclusive worlds and between reclusive worlds and otherworldly worlds has become increasingly serious.

The first dimension, which is not part of the mortal world, is almost impossible to give birth to powerful demons because its laws are incomplete.

The powerful figures in the secluded world and the otherworld are all survivors who fled to the ancient world after it was shattered, as well as their descendants.

There are naturally some supermodels among them, but most of them are just ordinary demons of the upper, middle and lower levels.

Hidden worlds and otherworldly realms are as numerous as the stars, but their quality varies greatly.

Those protected by powerful demons are better off, as the demons and monsters inside can replenish their energy and strengthen themselves by absorbing the demonic energy continuously emitted by the powerful demons.

But for most recluses, this is truly just a pipe dream.

Not to mention great demons, even top-tier demons are extremely rare.

Over time, the ordinary residents of the secluded world lost their powerful demonic abilities.

This results in over 90% of the reclusive monsters having almost no combat power, aside from some basic racial abilities.

Therefore, the reclusive world often seeks help from demons in the mortal realm, as well as powerful beings from other dimensions.

Among them was the Face Demon.

In fact, Gu Yun's face demon is not an original creation, but has existed since ancient times.

They are a combination of curses, resentment, and filth, commonly known as evil spirits, and the face demon is derived from evil spirits.

Simply put, the Face Demon is a malevolent demon enslaved by magic.

It is controllable; it is a tool that can be manipulated.

For reclusive demons, the masked demon has always been a very useful weapon.

Gradually, Gu Yun sold the surplus masked demons as commodities to the Hidden World.

On the one hand, it was for materials urgently needed for the experiment.

On the other hand, Gu Yun also wanted to see just how much power these masked demons could unleash.

Of course, Gu Yun has a good grasp of both safety and controllability.

He would not allow the Hidden World to become too powerful for him, nor would he allow the Masked Demon, an outsider, to disrupt the balance of other worlds.

Ideally, as soon as one player buys a Face Demon, the other player should immediately buy one as well.

Thus, the war turned into a battle between masked demons.

In this way, not only were casualties reduced, but Gu Yun was also able to extend his reach into these worlds, making them experimental sites and oil fields that provided him with research materials.

Throughout the process, Yu Yao was responsible for contacting the buyers.

Xiao replaced Gu Yun, handing the masked demon to the guest and taking back the resources.

Afterwards, Gu Yun will send out a neutral and benevolent Guhuoniao to monitor the overall situation.

If the face demon goes out of control, Auntie will notify Gu Yun.

The latter immediately takes control, rendering the creature incapable of fighting, and then the former retrieves it.

In other words, the Face Demon is more like a disguised form of artificial intelligence.

Reclusive buyers can manipulate them.

Kegu Cloud can do the same.

Furthermore, when the orders of the two parties conflict, Gu Yun's words carry far more weight than the buyer's.

Yes, the highest authority over the face demon has always been in Gu Yun's hands.

In addition, the face demon also comes with its own recognition system.

They will not react to beings below the level of lower-ranking demons.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that if Gu Yun releases the masked demon, it will attack people or some innocent ordinary demons in the next second.

This was something that Yuyao and the buyer had agreed upon.

Masked demons can only be used in battles of equal strength, not as tools for tyranny.

In short, under such restrictions, coupled with his aunt's constant monitoring, Gu Yun acquired a rather unjust title in both the secluded world and the other world—the Lord of Chaos.

A mysterious sorcerer who controls evil spirits and transforms them into obedient, docile demons.

Gu Yun: Yeah, that's not very fair. It makes me sound like a villain.

He simply wanted to see a grand spectacle of demons and monsters descending upon Luoyang, and thus prepared a stage specifically for them.

How is this a villain?

Do we look like villains?

"Of course not!"

Nanami vehemently denied this claim.

Hmm, what do you mean by "like a villain"?

Please remove the word "like" from my copy!

Despite her inner grumbling, Nanami didn't feel any resentment about being a villain.

Over the years, she has been changed by Gu Yun's ideas and is now a member of the Iijima school, Gu Yun's number one fan.

After the matter was resolved, Nanami stopped paying attention to the issues of the exorcism world and the Ten Famous Gates.

In any case, in her opinion, Gu Yun's power had already exceeded those people's comprehension.

His ability to refrain from abusing the power of shikigami is already the act of a saint.

We're just throwing out a few noodle demons to get some resources. Is there anything more restrained than this?

'But if you, senior, are the mastermind of chaos, then what am I?'

Nanami, now in her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) phase, thought: 'A troublemaker, huh? That sounds kind of pathetic.'

In order to be worthy of Gu Yun's status in the future, Nanami felt that she should think of a title after returning home today.

At the very least, we can't embarrass our seniors, right?

"Old rules."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Before we begin the theory lesson, let's first explain two types of monsters."

Most of the students are still children.

What children love most is obviously listening to adults tell all sorts of interesting little stories.

This applies even to those qualified to become sorcerers or exorcists.

“In Hosokima, Toga Village, Toto District, Toyama Prefecture, the old folks there said that a little people called ‘Kuropoko’ used to live on the top of Mount Gogo.”

This is the kind of benevolent monster or fairy that Gu Yun has prepared for everyone today—Kuropoko.

"Kuropo is very short; even as an adult, he is only about 1 meter tall."

"They like to dig caves in the ground that fit their size and use them as houses to live in."

This was the first time the children had ever heard of such a strange monster.

According to Gu Yun's description, they are less like monsters and more like a special kind of little fairy.

"Unfortunately, no one has seen the 'Kuropoko' in person for a long time, and even the ruins where they once existed have now disappeared without a trace."

Speaking of this, Gu Yun also felt it was quite a pity.

Yes, even Gu Yun himself had never seen Kuropoko.

"Haven't you seen this before, Onii-chan either?"

In Lu's eyes, Gu Yun is an extremely capable older brother.

He was erudite, gentle, and very caring towards her; he was the person Lu admired most.

"Hmm, I've never seen it either."

Gu Yun knew about this kind of monster because he had organized his grandfather and Yu Yao's collection and used magic to compile a special 'picture book' that recorded more than 12000 kinds of monsters and demons, some famous and some unknown, since ancient times.

Some of them were even beings that Konghuan and Yuyao, who had lived for 2500 years, had never seen.

It could be due to geographical reasons, or it could be that I didn't pay attention at the time.

This has led to many demons, even the demons themselves, only knowing their legends.

Kuropoulos is one of them.

"The 'Kuropokoru' people in Hokkaido legends should be the same kind as the Kuropokor people."

"Kuropokoru?"

The children seemed to think the word sounded a lot like Kuropho: "It sounds like a variant."
