Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Why should I tell you?

'You should be incredibly grateful that we even allow you to jump around like that!'

'Jing Shi must be blind to follow such a piece of trash like you.'

"..."

"This guy!!"

Gu Yun's lips twitched slightly as he was rebuked by the other party. The series of taunts directly sketched the image of a little devil in his mind.

Unfortunately, the little devil has a powerful backer. Gu Yun doesn't yet know Old Zasa's identity, but his strength...

To be honest, Gu Yun couldn't understand it at all.

The other person was just sitting there, and he felt an overwhelming sense of awe and pressure.

Even his instincts were warning him—he absolutely could not fight the person in front of him.

"Isn't that outrageous?"

Old Zasa pulled out a jar of wine from somewhere and tossed it to Gu Yun: "This brat has a foul mouth. Not just you, she doesn't even respect me."

'Huh?'

'What's so great about you, old man?'

'Who do you think you're owe so much for getting such good treatment here?'

The little devil got angry, and the wine in Old Zasa's hand vanished instantly, leaving him quite helpless: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, little guy."

"Good boy, give me back my wine."

Unfortunately, the little devil was arrogant and completely ignored Old Zasa's request.

Gu Yun originally thought that Lao Zha Sa would get angry.

After all, how could the dignity of the Twelve Heavens, the Upper Palace, be violated by a mere female ghost?

"There's really nothing I can do..."

However, to Gu Yun's surprise, Old Zha Sa had an amazingly good temper. Not only did he not respond harshly, but he also looked at the wine jar in Gu Yun's hand with a smile.

"Drink together?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yun inquired.

"Oh, you're really on point, buddy! Hahaha!"

Old Zha Sa laughed heartily, then produced two wine cups, and Gu Yun poured the wine in perfect unison.

He had absolutely no knowledge of the Japanese custom that minors cannot drink alcohol, and Old Zasa didn't mention it either. Instead, he encouraged Gu Yun to drink with him.

"The will of the afterlife!"

Before drinking, Gu Yun didn't forget Qian Xun: "I can follow your rules, but I have one request: you can't let anything happen to that child and her parents."

Simply put, it's the game pause button.

Otherwise, if Gu Yun stays here with Lao Zha Sa, while the Ogino family in the next life is killed by Yubaba, he might really declare war on the will of the next life.

"can!"

This time, the little devil didn't act willfully and readily agreed to Gu Yun's request.

A light screen unfolded around Gu Yun and Lao Zha Sa, revealing Chihiro, who had been teleported by Gu Yun to Boiler Grandpa's place.

Following Gu Yun's instructions, the girl was trying her best to beg Grandpa Boiler to allow her to work there.

"Hu~~"

Seeing that Qianxun was alright for the time being, Gu Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this your little girlfriend?"

"Do not."

Gu Yun initially came into contact with Chihiro because he encountered an anime character.

However, after five years of getting to know each other, Gu Yun and Qian Xun have become very good friends.

In his eyes, the other person was like a simple and kind younger sister.

"Gulu gulu."

Old Zha downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp. He knew Gu Yun was dissatisfied, but every world has its own rules: "The afterlife is really important; things can't be chaotic here."

"I see."

Gu Yun is not against it; in fact, he is a supporter of the order principle.

The afterlife concerns the reincarnation of countless souls.

To save one person, yet harm countless innocent people, Gu Yun cannot avoid this dilemma.

If it were his mother and Nao-nee who were in trouble, Gu Yun would risk everything and disregard everything.

Chihiro

'So, is that why I was sighing and lamenting in the nun's prophecy?'

Gu Yun now felt that helplessness too: 'Don't let me find out who's behind this, or I'll definitely take you down!'

The real culprit behind this whole thing should be the guy who led the Ogino family into the afterlife, not the little brat who resisted Tanigumo's entry, or old Zasa who took it upon himself to protect the afterlife.

They are not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.

The little devil had a foul mouth, but she knew Gu Yun's bottom line, so she reluctantly agreed to give him some preferential treatment.

Gu Yun's request is that Chihiro's family should not suffer any misfortune while he tries to solve the problem; this is the right of the little demon.

In the next life, the Great Will may bestow a small blessing upon someone, enabling them to thrive in this world.

In the words of the novel, they are the chosen ones.

Chihiro wouldn't be in that situation, but a lucky blessing would be enough to make everything go smoothly for her.

"Of course, it's not like there's absolutely no way out."

Old Zasa drank his wine and said, "Overturning the table is the right of the strong. As long as you can prove that you are strong enough, it's okay if you don't follow the rules, little guy."

"???"

The little female demon was very angry at what Old Zasa had said.

Unfortunately, he was telling the truth.

The female demon has no physical body, therefore her power is limited.

If she were to rely solely on herself, even Gu Yun wouldn't be able to do anything to her now, so Old Zha Sa wasn't wrong.

If Gu Yun possesses power surpassing that of Old Zasa, then he has no need to abide by the rules of the afterlife.

"Glug, glug~~"

Gu Yun downed the wine in front of him in one gulp.

"The wine is good."

Food for the afterlife has no effect on someone like him.

Even if a curse exists, it is meaningless in the face of the blessings of a group of shikigami.

After ruling out the issue of the curse, one has to admit that the things in the afterlife, whether wine or food, are truly exceptional.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a place where countless afterimages converge.

After death, every human being will eventually go to the afterlife, where they will reach the end of their journey and leave their memories and wisdom to this world.

One can imagine the level of skill that his skills would have reached after so many years of accumulation.

"Since Chihiro's affairs are none of your business, I will not linger here."

"Please."

Old Zha Sa drank his wine, indicating that Gu Yun could leave at his leisure.

The ability to see through things is a bug; no one can stop him, including taking people away.

However, using the Spirit Vision Technique to travel on one's own is different from using it to transport others.

If it were just Gu Yun alone, the activation of the Spirit Vision Technique would be instantaneous, with no skill delay whatsoever.

This spell takes precedence over the other three forbidden spells.

In theory, even the World Will and Old Zasa, one of the Twelve Heavens, cannot stop it.

But what if you bring an outsider?

The activation of the clairvoyance technique takes time.

Qianxun is in the afterlife. Gu Yun returns to her side and takes her away. He will be caught in a loophole by the will of the afterlife and banished to Old Zasa.

This creates a vicious cycle.

In the next life: You can go on your own, but you can't bring others with you!

When the Four Heavenly Kings of the Wild Fox Zen went on their adventures, the presence of Goshiro Kotaki was crucial.

Whenever he arrives at a new place, Goshiro Kotaki makes sure to prepare to use his spiritual vision technique immediately.

If danger arises, he can immediately lead the three away.

However, Gu Yun could not do that.

Because in the next life, this little devil will definitely throw him here the moment Gu Yun begins preparing his spiritual vision technique.

Anyway, Gu Yun can travel from this space to anywhere.

They're just multiple transit points; there's no difference.

"Little devil!"

Gu Yun cursed under his breath, then disappeared from Old Zasa's sight and returned to the afterlife.

With no other choice, Gu Yun chose to abide by the rules of the game in the afterlife.

Therefore, if you want to take Chihiro away, you have to find Yubaba in the bathhouse, ask her to set a test for Chihiro, and then let her go.
