Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"you…"

"Tell me your thoughts, Bishamon."

Old Zasa asked, "Go to the audience, and then what?"

"of course…"

“Of course, we’ll let him acquire our true names and gain our trust,” Old Zasa said on behalf of Uesugi’s sister, “and then carry out the twelve-day plan, cross the void of Hiruko God, and reach the destination.”

"Ha ha ha ha."

Old Zasa's tall figure slowly stood up. He looked down at Sister Uesugi and said in a deep voice, "Girl, what do you take him for?"

"I…"

Uesugi was speechless for a moment. She realized that what Old Zasa said was right, and that she had indeed taken things for granted.

"He is not a tool."

"He is a person, with his own thoughts and emotions."

Old Zasa said, "Our mission for the twelve days is to completely defeat Hiruko-gami. This is our business, what does it have to do with him?"

"Yes, a perfect spirit level..."

"Do you know what those things you said to him sounded like to me?"

Old Zasa said in a serious tone, "Because you possess a perfect spiritual quality, it is only right that you dedicate yourself to our twelve-day plan!"

"this?!"

Uesugi exclaimed, "I didn't!"

"No, that's exactly what that child thinks."

Let Gu Yun summon the twelve heavens, and then confront Hiruko-shin.

In this kind of situation, Uesugi-neechan, with her boundless passion and fearlessness, was fearless.

To this, Old Zasa could only say that she was too young.

“Once you take that step, there are only two outcomes,” old Zasa said: “either success or failure.”

"But what is the cost of failure?"

Hiruko-sama's power is unmatched. Even if the Twelve Heavens join forces, are they truly confident of victory?

Can they guarantee that they can definitely get Gu Yun to the tenth floor?

No!

Uesugi-neechan didn't know, but old Zasa could tell her with certainty that even he himself couldn't guarantee it.

If the plan fails, Twelve Days will perish, and Gu Yun, this hard-won perfect spiritual being, will also perish at their hands.

"The mission of twelve days is a battlefield."

“We are warriors,” Old Zasa said. “To die on the battlefield is our honor.”

"But he's just an ordinary person."

Gu Yun was neither a soldier nor had he received any training or favors from the Twelve Days.

“We have absolutely no reason to make him sacrifice himself for our aspirations,” old Zasa said. “Just because he is special, does that mean we have to make him the hero?”

"What kind of logic is that?"

Old Zasa could understand Uesugi's thoughts.

She was raised in Japanese culture, and that's how it is in this country.

High school students saving the world, not causing trouble for others, and only heroes can defeat the Demon King.

Yes, it's not the one who defeats the Demon King who is the hero, but rather fatalism.

Countless light novels tell you that you must first become a hero before you can fight the Demon King.

Otherwise, you're just a villager, just a passerby.

"A bizarre culture."

Old Zasa criticized Uesugi's older sister.

"But weren't you just planning to go to the audience with me?"

"what."

Old Zasa nodded and said, "But I already know him."

What Lao Zha Sa called an audience was actually just a meeting with Gu Yun.

Unlike his sister Uesugi, he wouldn't force Gu Yun to do anything, nor would he even offer advice.

"that's it?"

"if not?"

Old Zasa smiled and shook his head: "How old is he?"

Old Zasa didn't know that Gu Yun came from another world.

But from his perspective, it's very easy to see a person's psychological age.

“A young man, not even a fraction of your age.”

In Lao Zhasa's view, Gu Yun should continue to enjoy life instead of immediately summoning the Twelve Days and risking his life for a life-or-death struggle.

"Enjoy your youth, get married and have children, pursue power, or crave greater strength."

"Greed or selfish, it may be!"

Old Zasa: "It's all his own life!"

"Then what should we do about our plan?"

"wait…"

Old Zasa said in a deep voice, "When he gets tired of it and understands it all, he will naturally come to us."

Yes, Old Zasa's philosophy was not to force Gu Yun, but to wait for him to make his own decision.

This may take decades.

Even after Gu Yun obtains an immortal body, they will still wait for hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years.

However long it may take, old Zasa will wait for the person with the perfect spiritual character.

"I will keep waiting."

Old Zasa's words made Uesugi realize his resolve: "Until I die on the seventh floor!"

The old man before me has dedicated his entire life to this world.

They fought valiantly to protect it, to safeguard the present era and civilization.

In terms of achievements, even ten thousand Uesugi sisters couldn't compare to him.

And so, without a doubt, Uesugi-neechan suffered another defeat.

Uesugi-neechan: My real name was thrown back at me, my colleagues betrayed me, and my senior even pointed his finger at me and gave me a good scolding.

No more love.

Destroy this garbage world!

"I don't agree!"

Uesugi-neechan knows she has problems communicating with Tanigumo, and she can change that.

The next time she sees Gu Yun, Uesugi-nee will make her thoughts clear.

"Just like you, senior, insist on your own ideas, so do I."

As members of the Twelve Heavens, their willpower is their greatest strength.

Therefore, Uesugi-neechan will not be swayed by old Zasa's words.

She must continue traveling the world to find the other twelve days and deliver news of the perfect spirit.

"Hahaha."

Old Zasa laughed loudly, "Not bad, girl, I'm very impressed with you now."

There are countless ideas in the world; there is no absolute right or wrong.

However, it must be admitted that disagreements did arise within the Twelve Days.

Huo Tian plans to test Gu Yun, Shang Shan wants to be a sycophant, Fan Tian avoids him, and Lao Zha Sa waits for the right opportunity.

However, none of this had anything to do with Gu Yun.

Just like when you receive a scam call, as long as you hang up quickly enough, no one can fool you.

"So, what should we do next..."

Gu Yun returned to the afterlife. Instead of immediately going to find Qianxun, he tried to adapt to the rules of this world as quickly as possible.

The flow of time in the afterlife will bring a person's past into view.

Only by signing a contract and becoming a part of this world can one move freely.

Gu Yun naturally didn't need to go through such trouble.

Developing a spell to counter the flow of time is only a matter of time for him.

"Yes, it is like that."

Soon, Gu Yun completed the construction of this spell in his mind.

He formed a hand seal, and his body was enveloped in a faint light.

As the light dimmed, the voice of the will of the afterlife rang in Gu Yun's ears: "That's fine. Remember not to cause me any trouble."

"That little brat!!"

Gu Yun gritted his teeth inwardly. He knew that the little devil had her eye on him.

He figured that every word and action he took here would be watched by the little devil, in case he did something to break the rules.
