Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Fortunately, Xiaobai's speed was not affected, and he managed to stop the girl in time.

Otherwise, given Chihiro's courage, the girl would probably continue running around recklessly.

"Gu Yunjun!"

Chihiro asked in disbelief, "Are you really Gu Yun-jun?"

Everything that happened here made Chihiro feel like she was in a nightmare.

However, the girl was in Japan after all, and she had heard plenty of ghost stories and local myths in her daily life.

Despite her fear, Chihiro managed to calm herself down.

Because Gu Yun came, her classmate, who was as gentle and reliable as her deceased brother, miraculously appeared before her.

"Hoo~~ho~~"

"It really is me, not a fake."

Gu Yun was panting, but time was of the essence, so he could only explain intermittently, "I am not an ordinary person, I am a sorcerer, you can think of me as an 'Onmyoji'."

For ordinary people who don't understand, sorcerers and Onmyoji are easier to comprehend.

"You have now encountered a paranormal event and have intruded into this world."

After catching his breath, Gu Yun reached out his hand to Qian Xun: "Give me your hand, and I'll take you away from here."

"Mom and dad?"

Chihiro thought of her parents: "Gu Yunjun, what will happen to my mom and dad? They seem to have turned into pigs."

"They ate the food of this world and were cursed."

Gu Yun explained the situation of the Ogino couple in the simplest way: "I'll take you away from here first. Don't worry, Chihiro, I will rescue them."

Saving one person is better than none. Gu Yun needs to send Chihiro out first, and then find a way to save the Ogino couple.

Otherwise, if they fail to rescue the two of them and Chihiro gets caught in the crossfire, it would be a huge loss.

"Ok!"

Clearly, Chihiro understood this as well.

After five or six years of getting along, Qianxun had developed an unwavering trust in Gu Yun.

The girl immediately grabbed Gu Yun's hand and followed him in a certain direction.

However, after taking only a few steps, Gu Yun felt his palm go empty.

"Chihiro?"

"my hand!"

Chihiro's hand became transparent and ethereal, detaching from Gu Yun's grasp. Gu Yun tried several times but failed to touch Chihiro.

Am I...am I going to disappear?

"Gu Yunjun, what should I do?"

Chihiro was very scared, but she stopped crying and screaming because Gu Yun was right beside her, which reassured the girl.

"This world is swallowing up any trace of her existence."

The afterlife is a giant furnace where everything that falls in, whether living or non-living, will be completely destroyed.

Chihiro is a human, not a spirit.

But for the afterlife, there is no difference between the two.

"There's no time, you need to eat something first."

To survive in the next life, one must eat the food here and carry the essence of the next life with them.

Only in this way will the will of the world allow her to continue to exist.

The problem is that the food for the afterlife is cursed, and has huge side effects on mortals like Chihiro who do not have spiritual power.

It's not just pigs; chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep could all become pigs.

The end of the next life is the path of reincarnation, and behind it lies the cycle of the six realms of reincarnation.

Theoretically, a curse can turn a person into any creature, but it was only because of Granny Qian's magic that the humans who trespassed into the bathhouse turned into pigs.

"Eat it, quick!"

So, Gu Yun used his spiritual power to combine the rules of the afterlife and created a small pill for Qianxun to take.

"Ok!"

Chihiro swallowed the dumpling without hesitation, and the effect was remarkable. The girl's body began to solidify, no longer as transparent and illusory as before.

However, in doing so, Chihiro became someone who was half a reincarnation.

She will be bound to the afterlife, and no one can take her away from this world unless she finds her way home and completes the trials.

"Hold my hand!"

However, that applies to others. Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique can transport outsiders, and even the rules of the world cannot stop it.

Of course, the number of people you bring cannot be too many.

It's just Chihiro now, so it's not a big problem.

While the will to be reborn is indeed powerful, Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique is all about exploiting loopholes in the world's rules, and he is now going to forcibly take Qianxun away.

Regardless of any rules for the afterlife, even if she has already consumed the food of this world, it doesn't matter.

"Ok?"

Just as Gu Yun was about to successfully cast his spiritual vision spell, a tremendous sense of repulsion enveloped him from above.

"It is the will of the afterlife!"

Miketsu's voice echoed in Gu Yun's mind: "It has discovered us!"

"Help me hold them off."

"This is her home turf, I can't hold her off for long!!"

As she spoke, Miketsu opened her arms, like a radiant divine form, and used her divine power of equal level to create a barrier, protecting Gu Yun and Chihiro inside.

"Now, Gu..."

Miketsu's words paused for a moment.

At that moment, Gu Yun felt as if the whole world had fallen silent.

"what happened?"

A scene flashed before Gu Yun's eyes: Qianxun standing on a grassy slope, calling her name, but no one answered.

Finally, Yubaba, disguised as an eagle, descended from the sky and used magic to turn the terrified girl into a pig.

'The clairvoyance will fail.'

'I can't take Chihiro with me?'

Almost instantly, Gu Yun understood the content of the image and the outcome it represented.

This is the nun's foresight, the most accurate prediction of the outcome of a certain event.

I wouldn't dare say 100%, but a 99% probability is no exaggeration.

Chihiro!

Gu Yun acted decisively, continuing to use his Spirit Vision Technique, but his right hand formed a hand seal and then touched the girl's forehead: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely come to save you!"

"The Art of Passage!"

As the handprint fell, Qianxun's figure disappeared from Gu Yun's sight.

At the same time, Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique was successfully activated.

But as he took a step forward, the forest of the human world did not appear. Instead, there was an endless ocean and a clear blue sky.

'really…'

Gu Yun's judgment was correct; his spiritual vision technique failed to activate.

"what is going on!"

Gu Yun was in a bad mood. He vaguely realized that he might have been tricked by someone.

Fortunately, Gu Yun made the right choice.

He used magic to send Chihiro to the bottom floor of the bathhouse, which is the room where Kamaji (the boiler man) is.

Along with that seal, Gu Yun also gave Qian Xun a message.

The content of this passage is almost identical to that in the original Spirited Away story; it is about hoping that she will ask Kamaji for help so that he can help Chihiro find a job at the bathhouse.

Boiler Man in Spirited Away is undoubtedly one of the few good people in the whole story.

There was no other way; time was of the essence. Gu Yun knew he would be transferred, and that was all he could do at the time.

He only hoped that Boiler Man could help Chihiro so that the girl could live safely in the bathhouse for a while while he couldn't reach her.

"Hu~~"

Gu Yun took a deep breath, barely managing to calm his anger, before he began to look around.

This is a calm body of water.

He looked down and could see his reflection.

"where is this place?"

Although Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique has no destructive power, it is unparalleled in the world when it comes to escaping.

However, this forbidden technique has been targeted like never before.

The attempt failed, and I was teleported to this space.

Fortunately, Gu Yun can still perceive the present world.

He knew that as long as he activated his spiritual vision again, he could escape this place and return to the human world.

"Who are you, kid?"
