Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Eating children and kids, just like the Slit-Mouthed Woman before them, once Gu Yun discovers it, he will definitely send them to hell so that the Demon Kings can use the tortures of purgatory to cleanse them of their sins.

But there are also those whose sins are less serious, or even more complex.

'These…'

Gu Yun looked at Nura Rihan: 'This needs to be handled by a more experienced professional.'

Humans have their laws, and monsters have their rules.

The Nura Clan is an organization in the Kanto region that sets rules for yokai (supernatural beings).

Four hundred years of experience is something a junior like Gu Yun cannot compare to; he could never do better than Nura Rihan.

“You can select the members,” Gu Yun said. “As for the executioner…”

Since the Nurarihyon and the Nura Clan can't do it themselves, we'll just have to find them a knife.

"Choosing ten prestigious sects might easily trigger conflict between monsters and humans, isn't that a bad idea?"

The fact that only one or two were eliminated by the sorcerers was not a big deal to the demon race.

Throughout history, countless monsters have been exorcised by sorcerers.

But starting with hundreds or thousands is too exaggerated and could trigger a stress response from the monsters.

"it's not true."

Nurarihyon said, "If the demons make the first move, then no one can say anything when humans defeat the demons."

This is the dividing line, and also the rule established by the world's will since ancient times.

As long as humans and monsters cannot make eye contact, they cannot interfere with each other.

Conversely, once humans 'see' ghosts, it's equivalent to crossing that dividing line and entering their world.

Being eaten, enslaved, and tortured—the actions of supernatural beings are recognized by the will of the mortal world.

In such situations, human sorcerers can choose to save people or exorcise demons; that is their duty.

But sorcerers have no right to criticize demons or say they are wrong.

Because they were human, they first entered the world of demons.

"I see."

Gu Yun understood the rule against eye contact.

But the idea that demons actively invading humans and then being defeated by sorcerers is also considered an overstepping of boundaries is something Gu Yun has never heard of before.

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. If you can come over, I can go over too."

"The 'invisible boundary' set by the will of the world is not just biased towards the monsters."

Yuanxing Temple devours children; the Exorcists Association should condemn it.

Previously, due to the influence of the Nurarihyon clan, the Ten Famous Gates did not have the confidence to fight against them, nor did they want to be their enemies.

But now, times have changed.

Given Higa Kotoko's personality, if she were to actually encounter Genkoji, she probably wouldn't care about the Nura Clan at all and would just slap them to death.

"It's really a headache to shelter a bunch of trash."

Both Nurarihyon and Rihan are older people; they would never kill soldiers without cause.

The best way is to find a clueless newbie who knows nothing, have him charge in, and slaughter them until there's a bloodbath.

"In that case, my little devils would be a good fit."

Gu Yun thought about it and felt that the demons and monsters in Yuanxing Temple were very suitable for the children to practice on.

They are of average ability but quite arrogant, definitely both bad and playful.

These perfect monsters for grinding experience are better suited for internal use than left to the Exorcist Association.

"This method seems pretty good, Brother Gu Yun!"

Rihan Nura also thought the idea was pretty good.

Once his child with Otome is born, the Nura Clan's third generation will definitely be passed down.

Even troublemakers have their uses; at least they can be used to establish authority for younger generations.

The solution is simple: incite them to rebel.

No matter where you are, rebellion is a grave crime, deserving of a thousand cuts.

"Then it's decided."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "If the Nura Clan continues to recruit demons, I will have the gods wash away their curses if they can be purified."

"The resentment and karma on my body are so thick that purification cannot cleanse them. I'll give some to my son, and the rest, force him to rebel, and then let the Nura Clan handle it internally."

Soon, both parties finalized a preliminary outline for this matter.

"As for now..."

Gu Yun clapped his hands lightly and said, "Let's kill that Yuanxing Temple guy first."

Chapter 119 You just gave it away right from the start, huh? You're something else!

"So there really is such a thing as the disappearance of children."

On the way back to the mansion, Gu Yun asked Hayasaka Nao about cases of missing children in the Tokyo area.

Upon inquiring, L immediately discovered the problem, and the number of cases was quite large.

Since before the Lunar New Year, there have been more than 10 cases without us even realizing it.

"An accident involving a school bus resulted in the immediate deaths of more than a dozen students."

"A family trip resulted in the child's mysterious disappearance, suspected of being abducted by human traffickers."

"The child was playing in the park, but when the parents went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found."

"..."

Without investigation, Gu Yun would never have known that so many supernatural events caused by demons had occurred in Tokyo.

Although Gu Yun was not responsible, who could have imagined that these things were done by demons, rather than normal traffic accidents or illegal acts by human traffickers?

The latter is the job of the police. The Iijima family will provide assistance in the investigation and strictly prohibit such unscrupulous behavior.

In this regard, the Iijima family has always spared no effort in supporting the Japanese government.

"The problem of demons has indeed reached a point where it can no longer be ignored."

In particular, the demons that originated from these ghost stories seem to have inherited a similar ability to 'disappear'.

They can, to some extent, diminish people's perceptions.

Even Gu Yun, without knowing the name 'Yuanxing Temple' or any related information, would not be able to actively detect the other party.

It's not that Yuanxing Temple is particularly powerful, but rather that the power of the ghost stories and the hidden spirits comes from the 'rules of the virtual world'.

The virtual world protects them, protects these strange tales, and the demons from which they originated.

"Bone Woman".

Gu Yun has already sentenced Yuanxing Temple to death.

But there's no need for Gu Yun to personally handle such a minor role.

Sending any shikigami over will solve the problem.

"Kill him!"

Gu Yun: "Not the kind of death that's too quick and painless."

"As ordered!"

The Bone Woman transformed into a black shadow inside the car and vanished into nothingness.

Gu Yun had no intention of joining the Exorcist Association.

However, this did not prevent Gu Yun from eliminating a demon causing trouble on his territory and ensuring the stability of his living environment.

The Nura Clan's role in monitoring demons is unparalleled.

Especially in the realm of ghost stories.

The yokai under Nurarihyon and Rihan's command are connected to their fate. If one yokai learns of a certain ghost story, then the other yokai, as well as Nurarihyon, the lord of all ghosts, will also know.

The Nura Clan is far more experienced than Tanigumo in dealing with ghost stories and ghostly disappearances.

"Kotoko?"

Afterwards, Gu Yun called Higa Kotoko again to relay the Nura Clan's attitude.

Kotoko Higa had absolutely no reason to refuse.

Besides, Gu Yun himself acted as the matchmaker, so even if there are problems, Miss Qinzi will probably turn a blind eye for him.

"Okay, I understand. I'll visit the Nurarihyon clan another day."

Higa Kotoko knew that the most troublesome thing about ghost stories was the disappearance of spirits. Although the sorcerers also had the ability to detect 'inconsistencies', there were too few of them.

Today is Genkoji Temple, which the Nura Clan knows very well.

What if another monster or supernatural creature that nobody knows about appears in the future?

Without enough individuals casting a wide net across a large area, relying solely on the exorcists' association's investigation, by the time they resolve the problem, countless people will have already died.

The dead are nothing to worry about, since the underworld can protect them.

But after the ghost stories kill the living, their souls cannot find peace.

Over time, this could lead to them being reborn as idiots or physically disabled, causing them a lifetime of suffering.

"I didn't expect that you, Gu Yun, also had connections with the Nura Clan."

"You could call him my friend."

If it were just Higa Kotoko alone, she wouldn't actually be very familiar with the Nurarihyon clan.

Although Tsuchimikado Yako could act as a go-between, Kotoko and Yako were ultimately quite unfamiliar with each other, making it extremely difficult for Kotoko to trust a group of demons.
