Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Regardless of the outcome or the point about his own oversight, the young man before him was the victor in this battle of wits.

"Higa Kotoko is completely convinced."

"Furthermore, I will do my best to repay your life-saving grace in the future."

Looking at the earnest girl, Gu Yun's true thoughts were: 'I'd be incredibly grateful if you didn't mind me seeing your panties.'

"Lord Gu Yun?"

"what?"

"Are you thinking about something bad?"

Is this a woman's sixth sense?

"how come!"

Gu Yun quickly changed the subject: "You are more familiar with the sealing than I am. Investigate it again and if there are any problems, I will make corrections immediately."

"it is good."

Higa Kotoko knelt on the ground and meditated for a short time.

Soon, the shrine maiden opened her eyes, her face beaming with joy.

It wasn't just a simple seal; Gu Yun also set up a special channel for her to extract the evil god.

This allows Higa Kotoko to truly borrow, or even steal, the power of the evil god without affecting her mind or causing her to go berserk.

The shrine maiden could foresee the tremendous leap in her strength that would occur once she became familiar with this method of extracting the power of the evil god.

“The seal that Lord Gu Yun has created is even better than the one passed down by the Dao Fan clan.”

Higa Kotoko said, "The Dao Reversal Seal requires a spirit level of 70 or higher to cast. Even among the Ten Famous Sects, there are only a handful of sorcerers with such aptitude."

The shrine maiden couldn't do it, and among the people she knew, it seemed that no one else could accomplish such a feat.

"If I hadn't met you, I probably wouldn't have lived more than three years."

"Given my personality, I will definitely try to prolong my life, and I don't know what price I will have to pay then."

Kotoko Higa is a perfect lady from a respectable family, far more elegant than that imposter Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Aside from her initial biker gang attire, in Gu Yun's mind, the shrine maiden was like a classical young lady from a noble family, elegant and dignified.

This kind of temperament is something that nouveau riche families like the Iijima family can never match.

"Yeah~~"

Gu Yun waved his hand repeatedly: "It was nothing. If you really want to thank me, just give me face in the exorcism circle in the future."

"It's natural!"

Higa Kotoko didn't really understand what Gu Yun meant by those words.

However, considering the size of the Iijima family, they clearly do not need money.

In terms of power, the Iijima family, which already controls public opinion, politics, and the economy, is at the height of its power and has no need for Higa Kotoko's help.

So, aside from Gu Yun's offer of "giving face," Higa Kotoko felt that the only things that could satisfy the other party were the ancient texts and spells accumulated by the Dao Fan clan.

'Okay, this one will do.'

Having made up her mind, Higa Kotoko asked Tanigumo about his needs for magic.

"Spell?!"

Gu Yun quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'm really interested in this. Let's study it together later."

In order to avoid causing too much loss to the other party, Gu Yun also expressed his willingness to share the research results.

The only requirement is that Higa Kotoko cannot tell the rest of the Dohan clan about these things.

"To be honest, I really dislike your family; they're disgusting."

The previous sealing technique briefly connected the two's emotions. Gu Yun saw Higa Kotoko's memories, and the girl also sensed his personality and attitude.

Therefore, Higa Kotoko could understand, after all, even she herself sometimes thought that her fate was in her own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

"In that case, I'm the one who benefits."

The spell was given to Gu Yun, who studied it, and the results were shared between them.

This approach is no different from Higa Kotoko finding herself a teacher.

With Gu Yun's talent, being able to sit down and discuss philosophy with him made Higa Kotoko feel her face burning, and she inexplicably felt that she was being a little shameless.

"Actually, I have a question, I wonder if it's alright..."

Looking at the boy before her, Higa Kotoko recalled his earlier overwhelming evil aura, which left the shrine maiden feeling very confused.

Mingming Guyun's heart is very pure, so how exactly were those evil images created?

"The evil god you just summoned, and that terrifying evil aura, what exactly is it...?"

Could it be that Gu Yun also has an evil god sealed within him? Higa Kotoko felt a faint sense of anticipation, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"Xiaoju is the evil god I 'subdued'."

"Truly worthy of being called Lord Gu Yun."

Kotoko Higa had no doubt that someone as powerful as Taniguchi could subdue a single evil god with ease.

"That evil aura is..."

"It's just a spell."

Gu Yun had already devised a plan, so he transferred the evil energy from his body, leaving only blessings.

In an instant, golden light shone, and countless benevolent gods sang holy songs.

This kind of nobility would make even gods and Buddhas pale in comparison to a young man.

"I see!"

Higa Kotoko naturally didn't believe it completely, but she didn't intend to pursue the matter further.

Putting aside the fact that Gu Yun showed her kindness, completed the Dao Reversal Seal, and saved the girl's life.

Kotoko Higa was helpless against the boy's terrifying power.

So what if it's true?

If Gu Yun really is some kind of great evil god, can Higa Kotoko really handle him?

Don't be ridiculous, that's the real apocalypse.

"I thought you were like me."

This is why Higa Kotoko asked the question; she wanted to know if Tanigumo shared the same plight as her.

"Actually, it's about the same."

Recalling the shikigami that awakened on the scroll, there are Momiji, Hannya, and Higanbana, and then more recently, Orochi.

It doesn't seem wrong to say that they are evil gods, malevolent gods, and ghosts 'sealed' inside Gu Yun's body.

In other words, Gu Yun did indeed suppress them single-handedly, preventing them from running rampant in the world and causing havoc.

"I understand."

Higa Kotoko was very clever; after only a moment's thought, she realized the possibility of a conflict between good and evil.

This refers to a sorcerer who subdued an extremely terrifying evil god, causing him to bear the evil karma of that god and thus exude an evil aura.

Gu Yun's situation just now was clearly very similar to that of this type of sorcerer.

As for the current divine presence, it must be because Lord Gu Yun has subdued many benevolent shikigami and used their radiance to conceal the aura of the evil shikigami.

'That's amazing.'

Gu Yun overheard Higa Kotoko's speculations about herself and thought to himself, "The anti-shrine maiden is indeed remarkable: 'Although there are still some discrepancies, it's pretty close to the truth.'"

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Gu Yun, I will never disclose your information to anyone."

"Whether it's magic or your shikigami," Higa Kotoko said, "I will never let a third person know about it."

"Furthermore, I will also publicize that I was defeated by Lord Gu Yun, and that you are the number one exorcist in Japan."

When Higa Kotoko heard Tsubagi Shiro's wild words earlier, she was still somewhat unconvinced.

Now, after a match with Gu Yun, he realized that he hadn't even touched the other's heel.

Absolutely crushing them!

Tsubagi was right, they really did hang her up and beat her.

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing Higa Kotoko's words, Gu Yun immediately became anxious: "We agreed before that if I beat you, you have to listen to me."

Without giving the other party a chance to refute, Gu Yun said bluntly, "My request is very simple. You need to declare to the public that we fought to a draw, and after the fight, you need to clearly state to me that you do not want to join the Exorcist Association."

"Tie, tie?"

Kotoko Higa was stunned: "But..."

She knew her own strength. Excluding the power of the evil god, she was only slightly stronger than Kureha and Prajna, belonging to the category of powerful exorcists capable of defeating great demons.

But compared to Gu Yun, they are far inferior.

Even if the evil gods are completely unsealed, Gu Yun can ignore Higa Kotoko's wishes and rampage, and seal them away at will.

With such unfathomable strength, how could the shrine maiden dare to say it was a 'draw'?

How dare she be so shameless?

"There's nothing that can't be said."

Gu Yun greatly admires Higa Kotoko's will and character.

She wants to protect humanity and ordinary people, which is also what Gu Yun is doing.

The difference is that Gu Yun does not intend to save the world.

Kotoko Higa had this idea and was willing to take the risk and put in the effort for it.

If Gu Yun doesn't want to help, fine, but why should I drag her down?
