Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

I used to think she was rigid.

Yes, it is indeed rigid, but this kind of strange rigidity...

If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised it!

"Can I join now?"

"can."

Eiki Shiki is a perfect tool; although the fundamental problem remains unresolved, it doesn't affect anything anymore.

"Now, I'll take you to meet my little master."

"Remember to be polite later."

Miketsu warned, "Although that child doesn't care about these things, you understand what about the others."

"I know."

Eiki Shiki isn't very good at dealing with people. She's quite straightforward, so please don't try to flatter her.

Fortunately, Miketsu doesn't need Shiki Eiki to be so pretentious; she only needs to show her true self.

Soon, Miketsu brought Shiki Eiki to Tanigumo.

"Is this Miss Yama?"

Gu Yun: "Nice to meet you. I am Iijima Gu Yun. I am very happy to have you join us."

"Also, I apologize to you on their behalf for what happened earlier."

It is a fact that Shiki Eiki neglected him.

But in Gu Yun's view, the other party hadn't actually done anything wrong; on the contrary, they were being too aggressive and bullying each other.

"It's my fault, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shiki Eiki bowed, showing no sign of being bothered by the earlier embarrassment.

After learning that Gu Yun was a being above the law, Shiki Eiki abandoned her original formula for dealing with things.

“I have already accepted your invitation to receive the legacy of the messenger of the underworld.”

Izanami had told Shiki Eiki about this from the beginning, and Shiki Eiki had no reason to refuse to accept this power and thus awaken the world's will in the other world.

Or rather, this was her responsibility.

Having received so many benefits from the other world, Shiki Eiki couldn't possibly remain indifferent when the other needed her.

"I am well-suited for this job and I am confident that I will not let down the expectations of the gods."

This is also one of the important reasons why Gu Yun sought out Shiki Eiki; Miss Yama is indeed the most just and honest of the Ten Kings of Hell.

As for the principle of blindly following the law, that's not a problem at all.

Although there is a common saying that the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people.

The problem is, that statement itself is a joke.

For the emperor to break the law, there must first be a law to break before the concept of 'breaking the law' can even exist.

However, only subjects are required to obey the law. The emperor is the one who makes the law. In the laws of all dynasties, there is not a single article that states what punishment the emperor will receive for doing something wrong.

Even if something similar did exist, the severity of the punishment would probably be less than that of Japan's two traditional arts: bowing in apology and dogeza (a deep bowing gesture).

If this is the case, then even the premise of "the emperor breaking the law" is not valid, so what is the point of "being subject to the same laws as commoners"?

Not to mention, this statement itself was not made by an emperor.

It's just a joke in some novels and storybooks, pure fantasy, without any basis.

Eiki Shiki is not a modern person; her ideas are not democratic, but rather very feudal and traditional.

Fortunately, with the laws of the afterlife as a reference, Shiki Eiki can abandon her own personality and preferences and handle cases impartially.

Otherwise, if personal values ​​were taken into account when making judgments, not only would Shiki Eiki be at risk, but even loyal ministers and wise ministers from history would make all sorts of mistakes.

Because moral values ​​change every moment.

The ideas of a thousand years ago are not comparable to the values ​​of the 21st century.

Shiki Eiki believed in the supremacy of the monarch and never thought that the emperor would be bound by law.

Throughout history, apart from puppet emperors who did not hold real power, the only thing that could truly restrain emperors was their own will.

"I see."

After listening to Shiki Eiki's explanation, Gu Yun glanced at Miketsu and nodded, indicating that the other party was indeed that kind of person.

"If that's the case, then everything is fine."

Gu Yun was actually a little worried about Shiki Eiki, because it involved the stance of the shikigami.

The shikigami under Gu Yun's command each belong to different factions, among which there are absolutely opposing factions that cannot be agreed upon.

But no matter who it is, when it comes to Gu Yun's issues, they all put aside their differences and unite against him.

Even Natsume Reiko, who had just joined, and Enma Ai, both gave an affirmative answer on this point.

Needless to say, Lingzi had long since taken the shape of Gu Yun.

Enma Ai, on the other hand, has never loved at all. Even if Gu Yun wanted to destroy the world, it would make no difference to her.

Therefore, if Shiki Eiki cannot do this, she will have a very difficult time surrounded by shikigami.

If one day, Gu Yun gets into a conflict with someone, will Shiki Eiki side with the latter?

If such a thing happens, in the eyes of the shikigami, it is blatant betrayal.

To some extent, the shikigami's thoughts are also a form of moral blackmail, making Shiki Eiki remember her position and keep in mind her bottom line of loyalty to Tanigumo.

"Internal traitors are more detestable than external enemies."

Eiki Shiki said, "I can understand their thoughts; it was my oversight."

"where."

Gu Yun thought to himself, "Isn't Shiki Eiki usually easy to talk to? How did things turn out like this?"

"Did you bully them?"

Shiki Eiki is about to join his team, so they'll be family. If the shikigami bullied him too much before, Gu Yun has a responsibility to appease and take care of him.

"No, that's not true. It was just that the Word Spirit threatened her a little."

"That's it?"

Gu Yun rarely uses mind-reading on his own shikigami, as it would be disobeying them.

"That's it!"

Miketsu never lies, and Gu Yun trusts her completely, so he can only turn his attention to Shiki Eiki: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss Yama."

After that, the two talked about some things.

For example, regarding the treatment after joining, and any special requests, as long as Gu Yun can do it, he will try his best to meet them.

Fortunately, Shiki Eiki's requirements were not high; they were all just the most basic guarantees.

"In that case, there's no problem."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "I can fulfill any request of Miss Yanwang. In the future, I look forward to your guidance."

"I'm causing you trouble."

Shiki Eiki asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Nothing to do."

Gu Yun prepared the legacy of the underworld messenger: "Relax as much as possible and do not resist."

The next moment, Gu Yun established a connection with the Hundred Ghosts Scroll, using the perfect spirit as the source, and began to pass on the legacy of the Underworld Messenger to Shiki Eiki.

Chapter 321 has already taken the shape of Gu Yun.

"here we go."

Under Gu Yun's guidance, Shiki Eiki began to lower her guard.

Although she had been bullied by the shikigami not long ago, the loli Yama had a strange trust in Gu Yun.

There was no way around it; Gu Yun's affability remained as high as ever, and he could always easily win the favor of others.

"Ah."

Shiki Eiki slowly closed her eyes, and saw golden runes transform into threads that wrapped around her, eventually forming a cocoon containing a high concentration of divine power.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's still amazing."

This was the second time Lingzi had seen Gu Yun's method of inheritance, but it was the first time Enma Ai had seen it: "Was this how I was promoted before?"

Just by standing there, the two women could feel the powerful energy flowing on the golden cocoon.

Moreover, it also carries Gu Yun's will.

The Scroll of One Hundred Demons is a manifestation of Gu Yunlingge's power, and even Gu Yunlingge himself couldn't understand it.

At this moment, the Scroll of One Hundred Demons once again demonstrated its absolute power, transforming Eiki Shiki in a way that no one present could comprehend.

"can't read."

Gu Yun had also been paying attention; he had always wanted to grasp the essence of the Hundred Ghosts Scroll.

Unfortunately, Gu Yun failed.

Each time Gu Yun awakens a shikigami or inherits its power, he carefully observes and comprehends it.

However, the scroll is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

He questioned all the shikigami under his command who were born from the scroll, including Kotodama, Miketsu, and Suzuka Gozen, but none of them could fathom the power contained in the Hundred Demons Scroll.

Although Natsume Reiko became the spirit of the scroll.

To put it bluntly, the spirit of the scroll is just a gatekeeper who guards the entrance to the Hundred Ghosts Scroll, the kind who holds a key in his hand.

Reiko Natsume was not yet qualified to delve into the origins of the scroll and uncover its mysteries.
