Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Gu Yun's spiritual vision couldn't see clearly at all under the layers of bubbles in the illusory world.

The illusory world is the only world that cannot be observed with the Eye of Spiritual Vision.

It's not that it's impossible, it's just too troublesome.

“The virtual worlds are endless, and it would take a lot of time and energy to look at them one by one.”

The reason why Gu Yun lingered in Tokyo for so long in that future he saw was to search for the whereabouts of Kibutsuji Muzan.

"What should I do?"

The Daki siblings had absolutely no concept of magic or anything like that.

They were even hearing about the virtual world for the first time.

This is not surprising.

Ghost tales are a relatively new phenomenon, emerging only in the last hundred years or so. The Daki siblings died more than 200 years ago.

"Roll the dice."

Gu Yun casually uttered three words, then looked at the nun amidst the puzzled gazes of the brother and sister: "Sister nun, apply the power of fate to me, I'm going to forcibly drag Muzan Kibutsuji out!"

"Yes."

The nun waved her staff, connecting Gu Yun with the River of Destiny.

"Alright, Lord Gu Yun."

"Everything you do next will create ripples on the river and influence the trajectory of your destiny."

If defying fate is a forbidden art, then the spell the nun is performing at this moment is the most forbidden of all forbidden arts.

Weight, or component.

Different people have different weights; some people can turn the world upside down with just a single action.

For some, life and death are so insignificant.

The nun used magic to create a giant scale.

On one side of the scale is a person named Kibutsuji Muzan, and on the other side is Tanigumo.

Fate will determine the weight of the person who casts the spell, and then, according to their weight, grant them the power to make their wishes come true.

Simply put, Wakagu Yun wants money, such as 100 billion yen.

So, if Gu Yun does what he wants, he can get the 100 billion yen he desires.

As if divinely aided, they are capable of anything!

"From now on, everything you do will lead to the best possible outcome."

"Ah."

Gu Yun cleared his mind, letting place names flash through his head, and then randomly chose one without any logic: "Let's go, to Shibuya."

Shibuya, one of Tokyo's 23 wards, is a commercial district with numerous department stores, restaurants, amusement parks, and entertainment venues.

As for why we should go there…

Gu Yun didn't know either.

He just suddenly thought of it and felt he should go there, that's all.

Chapter 223 The Mystery of the Illusory World

"Next..."

“Take this alley.”

Gu Yun walked down the streets of Shibuya, accompanied by a Buddhist nun.

Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, the passersby did not notice her presence because she was in a spirit state.

However, the Daki siblings were given a spell to conceal their presence.

Otherwise, if two evil spirits were walking down the street, at best they would be mistaken for cosplayers.

"Then turn here."

Gu Yun led the way, while the Duoji siblings, unaware of his actions, followed closely behind him.

The brother and sister did not communicate, afraid of disturbing Gu Yun.

But gradually, whether it was a misperception or not, the brother and sister vaguely felt that Muzan's aura was getting stronger and stronger, as if it were right next to them.

"Muzan..."

Subconsciously, Kifutaro murmured aloud.

"Ah."

Gu Yun heard what Qi Fu Taro was thinking. He looked up and found himself standing in front of a brothel.

"Ah this."

Gu Yun thought to himself that Muzan really knew how to play the game, actually placing the entrance to the virtual world in such a place.

"Would you like to come in?"

This was the first time Daki had ever seen a brothel, but for some reason, she seemed to understand the meaning of the building before her: "Is this a brothel of this era?"

"more or less."

Gu Yun had no intention of entering this place, nor did he need to go through all that trouble.

Kibutsuji Muzan doesn't exist in this dimension, so whether he enters or not makes little difference.

"I am willing to pave the way for Lord Gu Yun!"

Kifutaro wanted to make a good impression on Tanigumo and try to gain his favor.

"No need to bother."

Gu Yun pointed forward.

"Crack!"

The next moment, space and time shattered, and endless mist enveloped the three of them, then carried them into the world of ghost stories.

"This is... the Void World?"

The area was shrouded in mist, the air was damp, and the surrounding vegetation was covered in dew. In terms of environment, it was very similar to Mount Hirose, where the Senju-an Temple was located.

The fog here was much thicker, and it carried an invisible desolation that sent chills down one's spine.

"What a strange place."

Daki felt a strange sense of unease. Her senses were very weak here, as if some monster was hiding behind the mist, ready to pounce and drag them in at any moment.

Evil spirits are not good at supernatural things; their abilities are mostly on the material level, with only a few able to access the spiritual realm.

However, neither of them has anything to do with ghost stories.

Ghost stories are not simply dreams or illusions; they are much more complex and dangerous.

Physical attacks, unless you can reach the level of Yoriichi Tsugikuni who can cut down anything, will never be able to harm the ghost stories.

"This place feels terrible; there seems to be some strange force eroding our bodies."

"Yes, very keen judgment."

Gu Yun discovered that the evil spirits truly lived up to their reputation as creatures that broke the limits of life; although they had undergone abnormal mutations, their foundation was indeed quite good.

"This is the Main Void World Space."

The virtual world is a very complex multi-dimensional space, mainly divided into three parts: dawn, dusk, and midnight.

These three periods are imbued with a strong supernatural aura in Japanese legends.

People believe that ghosts and spirits most often appear before dawn, at dusk, and in the early hours of the morning.

Furthermore, these are also times when humans, gods, and demons can appear simultaneously.

"This is the eve of dawn, characterized by being shrouded in mist."

“This fog is boundless. We can move forward or backward,” Gu Yun gently tapped the brother and sister twice, “and then, at some unknown time, we might stumble into a crack in some illusory world, or a realm of ghosts and monsters.”

“I have left threads of attraction on you.”

The brother and sister looked down and saw a long, pale golden line extending from the spot where Gu Yun had pointed earlier.

"Remember, don't run around."

“If you accidentally get lost and fall into the Ghost Realm,” Gu Yun said, “just call out my name loudly. My name is Iijima Gu Yun, you can just call me Gu Yun.”

The Ghost Realm is indeed troublesome; it will erase memories and traces of existence in the mortal world.

But Gu Yun is not a newcomer who has just debuted.

The constant awakening of shikigami also brought Gu Yun many benefits, including talents, passive abilities, and some special bloodline powers.

In short, the illusory world cannot stop Gu Yun, and even if the world's will here awakens, he is not afraid.

“The mist connects many spaces, and every drop of water vapor here, when magnified, is a door to a separate ghost realm.”

Under the horrified gazes of the Daki siblings, Gu Yun raised his hand and then gently fiddled with it in the air.

The originally dense fog began to separate automatically.

They kept converging and eventually turned into a long river, flowing past the four people's headaches.

Tiny drops of dew shimmered with a faint light, like a galaxy formed by stars in the night sky, transforming the originally oppressive and damp mountain land into a spectacular sight at the turn of night and day.

"Each mist droplet is a space?!"

Daki couldn't believe that the amount of water vapor in front of her was countless; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it astronomical.

Finding the one where Muzan Kibutsuji is hiding among so many worlds is an incredibly difficult task.

"Yes, every single one."

Gu Yun said, "The virtual world has the most subspaces, and it is far more complex than other dimensions."

The waters of this virtual world are very deep; no one has truly explored it.
