Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"this…"

Miketsu was in a dilemma because her relationship with the will of the afterlife was not good.

If the problem lies in the underworld, then Miketsuhime only needs to tell Enma what she needs to do beforehand; it's not difficult at all.

But in the next life…

Miketsu and the Will of the Afterlife are really not familiar to each other.

“The will of the Hazama world is younger than ours,” Miketsu said. “Enma and I can’t understand their thoughts at all.”

There is a deep generation gap between the world will of integer dimension and space dimension.

If Miketsu were to contact the will of the afterlife, the other party would likely treat her as an enemy, and no matter how friendly she tried to be, it would be useless.

"It's difficult enough to even gain their trust, let alone get us in."

"Ok."

Gu Yun didn't make things difficult for Yuzanjin or force her to contact the will of the afterlife: "What else? Is there any other way?"

"Spiritual vision, perhaps."

The ability to see through objects allows one to travel to any region. In theory, Gu Yun, in the form of a soul, could even enter the 'half-dimensional', which is the lowest level of the entire world, 0.5 layers.

"However, this would be very risky!"

Miketsu did not approve of Gu Yun taking such a risk, because it might be a trap set by some being for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun has always been cautious, but that doesn’t mean he’s afraid of death.

Gu Yun didn't know what Qianxun's current situation was.

Perhaps it is because of his momentary hesitation that the nun's prophecy of sorrow and regret has come to pass.

"Therefore, my suggestion is to use the Spirit Body Manipulation Technique to create a Divine Body."

Miketsu really didn't dare to put Gu Yun in danger, so she suggested that they create some small paper dolls that could be attached to his will, and use them as a medium to go to the next life in her place.

“Often, the gods of Takamagahara would also go to the afterlife.”

However, as the saying goes, the upper realm does not contain things from the lower realm, and the lower realm does not contain spirits from the upper realm.

Theoretically speaking, the gods cannot directly enter the afterlife.

Their solution is to create a double for themselves.

This substitute can be a puppet, a paper figure, or even a clay doll, and then it can be used to walk in the afterlife.

"Using a substitute doll will better guarantee your safety."

Gu Yun's spirit remains in reality, but the divine being will travel to another world.

The two perceptions are synchronized, which is how the gods are able to enjoy the various services of the bathhouse.

Are there any drawbacks?

"..."

Gu Yun's words made Yu Zhuan Jin hesitate: "The Divine Body is just a piece of paper; it doesn't have much power."

Especially in a place like the afterlife, the divine body is truly just a mortal body, perhaps unable to even use fighting skills, making it a complete weakling.

This is fundamentally different from the previous retreat of Genkoji Temple.

One is the interference of the present world with the present world, and the other is the invasion of the afterlife by external spirits.

Even though the Will of the Afterlife didn't speak to Enma or Miketsuhime, and even a good-natured god like the girl riding a donkey gave it such a evaluation, Gu Yun could imagine how troublesome the Will of the Afterlife was.

"How can we save Chihiro now?"

Gu Yun possessed a vast amount of magic, but alas, the rules of the afterlife were such that...

Gu Yun simply cannot fight against the entire world on his own right now.

Even Mikoto couldn't do anything about it.

Unless Gu Yunzhen is trapped in the afterlife, Yuzhanjin will not disregard the consequences and manipulate Jingshi to crash into the afterlife in order to rescue him.

The consequences of doing so are unimaginable.

"Snapped!"

Gu Yun stopped worrying and sat down cross-legged. He then had Xiao Bai and the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni protect him on either side: "I'm going to use my spiritual vision to bring them back!"

What good is a paper doll without power?

Rather than relying on the rules of the afterlife, Gu Yun has more faith in the spiritual vision technique he has mastered.

Goshiro Kotaki once said that mastering the art of spiritual vision means possessing the key to unlock any world, allowing one to roam the universe without restraint.

Theoretically speaking, there is no way to seal, block, or limit clairvoyance in this world.

Because as long as Gu Yun continues to improve his spiritual level, he will naturally be able to break free from all constraints.

If one can even reach the tenth level, then a mere afterlife is nothing.

Chapter 130 Time Flies By

"Dad! Mom!"

Chihiro stood by the roadside, watching her parents start eating and drinking in an empty shop.

She didn't know what was wrong with the two of them; even if they were starving, they shouldn't have done something so rude.

Although these foods were indeed very delicious, many of them were things that Chihiro had never seen before and could not name.

But the Ogino family is, after all, a family that frequently frequents high society.

Chihiro felt a strange sense of unreality about her parents' current behavior.

However, the girl had never encountered any supernatural events before, so she didn't think about it in that direction. She simply assumed that the food was too delicious and that her parents were indeed hungry.

"Chihiro, you should eat too, it's really delicious."

"No, that's not good, Mom and Dad."

Chihiro sighed helplessly. Looking at her parents, who were completely absorbed in the food, she could only wander around the streets alone.

"Many restaurants have prepared a lot of food."

"Is this not an abandoned site, but still in operation?"

"With such thorough preparations, is business very good?"

The girl was curious about this antique-style Western-style street, wondering why she had walked for so long without seeing a single person.

Where did everyone go?

As she climbed the steps, Chihiro saw a vermilion bridge and a huge bathhouse standing opposite it.

In Japanese, "yu" means bathing, and Chihiro guessed, "Is that a hot spring inn?"

"Boom~Boom~"

The roaring sound attracted Chihiro's attention. She leaned over the bridge railing and saw a tram traveling on the water.

There are underwater railway tracks!

Chihiro was pleasantly surprised: "So Japan has trains like this?"

If things had followed the original trajectory, Chihiro should have encountered Haku at this point.

However, due to Gu Yun's intervention, Chihiro did not come into this world at the age of ten.

That's right, Chihiro, who is 13 years old this year and almost 14, has already missed the bathhouse storyline.

Without Haku's warning, Chihiro remained oblivious to the impending danger, continuing to watch the train's rear with great interest until it completely disappeared into the horizon.

"what?"

As Chihiro looked up, she was startled to find that it was getting dark.

Before I knew it, the originally bright sunlight had turned completely red.

As the sun sets, it is time for demons to appear.

"Forehead."

"why?"

In her bewilderment, the girl caught a glimpse of the reflection in the bridge railing out of the corner of her eye. It was stretching out rapidly, as if the hands of time were being forcibly turned forward by an invisible hand.

"How is this going?"

This strange scene was completely beyond Chihiro's comprehension.

Recalling her parents' strange reactions earlier, the girl suddenly felt something was wrong: "Where exactly is this place?"

"Mom and Dad!"

“Those things,” Chihiro thought of the horror movies she had watched before, “those foods are inedible!”

She wanted to go back, but for a moment she didn't know which store her parents were in.

In that instant of hesitation, the stone lantern in front of the bathhouse was lit, and the whole world went dark in the blink of an eye.

The lights replaced the sunlight, illuminating the area around Chihiro.

"Hey guest, what are you doing over there, quack?"

A strange, quirky voice came from behind her. Chihiro turned around and saw a frog dressed in shorts leap into the air.

"what!!"

Their eyes met, and Chihiro screamed in fright, startling the frog spirit as well.

"Monster, monster!"

Chihiro ran away from the bathhouse as if fleeing, but as soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she saw countless shadowy figures walking on the street ahead.

'What is this? What is this?!'

Chihiro, whose mind was almost blank, felt a chill run down her spine.

'ghost?'
