Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

In terms of potential, the Spirit Guardian is actually stronger than other Shikigami.

In the game's parlance, that's a baby that can grow, with a promising future.

[New Clues to Obtain the Shikigami 'Senhime']

【Senhime】

Awakening Requirement: Encounter 3 Water Gods (2/3)

In addition to Suzuka, the scroll painting quest for Senhime has also been followed up.

"This journey to the afterlife," Gu Yun thought to himself, "might even awaken Senhime as well."

"White Dragon, White Dragon."

Closing the scroll, Gu Yun looked at the white dragon, which was about four meters long, and began to call out its name.

At the same time, Gu Yun used magic to awaken it.

"..."

Bai Long didn't know how long he had been asleep. He opened his eyes and saw a boy floating in the darkness just like himself: "Who are you?"

"My name is Gu Yun, and I am Qianxun's friend."

"Chihiro?"

Bai Long had never heard this name before, but it felt strangely familiar: "Who is that? It seems like, it seems like the name of someone very important to me."

"She encountered danger and was trapped in this world."

Gu Yun stated his purpose directly: "I need the seal in your hand to save her."

Unfortunately, the white dragon before him was not in a conscious state, and Gu Yun could not offer any complicated explanations.

To this end, Gu Yun also used a special hypnotic spell to make Bai Long tell him what he knew.

Chapter 139 Granny Qian

"seal…"

"very dangerous."

"Watch out, it..."

The white dragon's aura began to become strange and foul, which puzzled Gu Yun.

Before he could examine it closely, a small stone fell into his palm.

The next moment, Gu Yun's vision blurred, and he was forcibly expelled from that dark, otherworldly space.

"what?"

Gu Yun was somewhat surprised: "What kind of place is that that can eject me?"

The white dragon did not die; he still exists.

The concept of 'death' still exists in the afterlife, only here death is not in its literal sense.

The consciousness of beings that die here will directly enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

However, those who are reborn in this way are born with a curse.

Their fates were fraught with hardship, destined to endure all sorts of suffering, and ultimately to die tragically.

But the white dragon is no ordinary creature.

He is a benevolent god, a river god who possesses divinity and is blessed.

Although his white dragon divinity was not strong and his divine status was very low.

But gods are gods; they have no souls after they die. They simply become nourishment for Hiruko-gami and become one of them.

In some ways, gods are actually more miserable than mortals.

"Where is this?"

Gu Yun looked around and found himself standing on a vast blue sea.

The environment here is somewhat similar to the space where Old Zasa was located.

However, the two are clearly different.

Gu Yun's spiritual vision was most acutely aware of dimensions and realms: 'This is still the lower dimension of the afterlife, just a bit far from the bathhouse.'

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Gu Yun sensed an aura; the other party possessed an energy different from spiritual power.

"Magic?"

Gu Yun turned around with some curiosity and saw that the seawater not far away began to rise, forming a figure that he had seen before.

"Yubaba?"

The other person looked exactly like Granny Yu, even their clothes were very similar: "No, you're Granny Zeni."

Grandma Qian was not surprised when she heard Gu Yun say her name.

Unlike her sister, Yubaba, her magical skills far surpassed the latter's, thus she understood Gu Yun's terrifying nature better than her sister.

"This young man who is now a god, could you please return the seal to me?"

"You mean this?"

Gu Yun held up the seal, and Granny Qian quickly nodded: "Yes, this is my magic contract seal, which was stolen by the little thief sent by my sister."

Granny Qian sent her shikigami to hunt down the white dragon and obliterate his physical body.

However, the White Dragon hid the seal in the third layer of the afterlife, which is why Granny Qian has never been able to find it.

"The third layer of space?"

"Past, present, and future."

Granny Qian explained, "The afterlife itself is like a river that comes from the future and washes away the memories and traces in people's bodies."

Before his death, the White Dragon used forbidden magic to separate his soul and send it to the future.

"Those who come after cannot reach the third level; we cannot go against the current."

However, Gu Yun's spiritual vision technique was too abnormal, directly ignoring the rules of the afterlife and entering that 'unknown future'.

"No wonder it was pitch black there, as if there was nothing there."

The future holds countless possibilities, though it remains shrouded in mystery. Gu Yun thought to himself, "It's not surprising that I was ejected from here."

Rather, the fact that Gu Yun was able to stay at the source of the next life for so long, just in terms of magical power, is something that Granny Qian can only dream of.

"only…"

Gu Yun doesn't dislike Granny Qian; in fact, she's a good person in the anime.

Hunting down the white dragon is her right.

Anyone who has their property stolen has the right to be angry, especially when it's a seal that serves as proof of identity for a Japanese citizen.

Objectively speaking, Granny Qian lived in a remote rural area, was not greedy for wealth or fame, and lived a very simple life, doing everything herself rather than relying on magic.

From this perspective, Granny Qian is more like a hermit (witch) living in the mountains.

"What's the reason?"

Gu Yun asked, "What's your reason for asking me to return the seal to you?"

"The seal is yours, that's true."

“But the item was stolen by Bai Long, and I retrieved it,” Gu Yun meant, “Grandma, isn’t it a bit unreasonable for you to expect me to return the seal with just a word?”

"Ah, that makes sense."

Granny Qian sensed that the seal had been taken back, and she knew very well the ability of the person who could do such a thing.

Therefore, Granny Qian prepared a gift as a token of her gratitude.

However, faced with such a powerful and noble Gu Yun, Granny Qian felt that her gift was a little too light.

As the saying goes, might makes right.

Even if Gu Yun forcibly kept the seal and refused to return it, and Granny Qian had no way to take it back, she could only accept the loss and there was nothing more to say.

Gu Yun's request for a gift perfectly aligns with Granny Qian's values.

"Young man, your strength has exceeded my expectations."

Grandma Qian was rather embarrassed: "You probably don't like the gift I prepared earlier."

"But this seal is really important to me."

"Why don't you name a price and tell me what you want?"

Unlike its depiction in the anime, this magical seal is not only Granny Qian's personal seal, but also the source of her authority over this area in the afterlife.

"I have no interest in seals."

Gu Yun recounted the story of Chihiro and Yubaba, and upon hearing her sister's name, Granny Qian exclaimed in alarm, "The seal! We absolutely cannot give it to her!"

Grandma Qian never expected that Gu Yun would have a relationship with her sister.

So, where did Granny Tang find such a powerful outsider as Gu Yun?

After hearing the whole story, even Granny Qian couldn't help but marvel at her sister's luck. Just because of an ordinary human girl, she attracted a sorcerer of god-like status.

No, even gods and humans might not be the limit of Gu Yun's potential.

Granny Qian couldn't see through Gu Yun; she only felt that the other party was unfathomable.

"To be honest, I have no interest in your feud with Yubaba."

Gu Yun said, "I just want to save Qianxun and her family and bring them back to the human world."

"I know, I know what you mean, young man."

Granny Qian clearly understands the rules of the game of the afterlife better than Gu Yun. As long as he hands the seal to Granny Yu, the latter can easily set a simple test to send the Ogino family back.

"But if the seal falls into her hands, it will bring a huge disaster to the world."
