Global Awakening: Start with the Asura template unlocked

"Because the fog tonight is noticeably thicker than usual; it's like a demonic fog, with a hundred ghosts roaming..."

His tone was somewhat intimidating and low.

Yan Qiu'er behind him couldn't help but shrink back, her little face staring at Kitahara Kuranosuke, looking very unnatural.

Kitahara Kuranosuke naturally noticed Yan Qiu'er's expression and suddenly smiled kindly, "Little girl, are you afraid of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl first secretly glanced at Su Ye, then puffed out her chest and said defiantly, "I...I'm not afraid! I'm a member of the God-Slaying Squad, sworn to slay gods! A mere little demon like me isn't afraid!"

The captain had said that the honor of the Godslayer Squad must not be tarnished in front of outsiders.

She was indeed scared, but if she lost her composure, Brother Ye would break her legs afterward!

"Haha, don't worry. How should I put it? Although the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is powerful and mysterious, its harm may not be as great as that of ordinary evil spirits."

Kitahara Kuranosuke walked ahead and suddenly said this.

This time, not only Yan Qiu'er was stunned, but even Su Ye and the others were taken aback. Su Ye asked, "Team Leader Bei Yuan, what does this mean?"

I've heard that the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts has not only wreaked havoc on the entire base city of Dongdu, but has also left its mark on major urban areas.

Is the news false?

"Captain Su, there are some things that I can't really say, but the reason I've been pursuing the trail of the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts for so many years is precisely because of this."

Turning to look at Su Ye, Kitahara Kuranosuke hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and saying, "Fine, let's find a place. After all, you might discover something amiss later, and you'll have to tell us eventually."

Soon, following the group leader from the Ninth District, the group arrived at a bustling street with neon lights, filled with the atmosphere of an old-fashioned town in the old days of Japan.

"Sukiyaki! Sukiyaki is ready! The best and freshest ingredients are all set!"

"Kotobukiya's fresh oden is ready! Hey, Yasawa-kun, you're here early today. Do you want the same portion as yesterday?"

"Hey sir~ wanna come visit our maid café? There are perks!"

……

Various street vendors' shouts, mixed with the sounds of Kabuki actors, reached Su Ye and the others' ears, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Su Ye sensed the dense crowd on the street and chuckled, "Team Leader Kitahara, is it always this lively in your Sakura Country every night?"

Kitahara Kuranosuke naturally understood the meaning behind Su Ye's words, and gave an awkward smile: "The higher-ups have always maintained an open attitude, and coupled with the public's desire for it, there's nothing I can do. Actually, I'd quite like to emulate your Dragon Kingdom's security early warning system."

After all, your Dragon Kingdom has been the safest country since the old days. Unfortunately... we don't know what our leaders are thinking, which has led to our Sakura Kingdom becoming known as the city of monsters. As the military and the Night Watch, we have no choice but to accept this.

As he spoke, Kitahara Kuranosuke sighed again: "Including the incident of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, I have come to realize even more clearly that our Sakura Country, even in this extraordinary era, is still so old-fashioned. As for why, I will explain later."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jue quipped, "Team Leader Beiyuan, aren't you afraid of being criticized for talking about your own country like that?"

Kitahara Kuranosuke shook his head: "If my criticism could change the higher-ups' minds, then even if I get dismissed, I'd definitely complain about it every single day!"

After uttering a complaint, he led Su Ye and the others to a ramen stall pulled by a cart. It was an old but unique late-night ramen stall.

"Kiku-kun, you're here. It's a bit late tonight."

The speaker was the owner of the ramen stall, a kind-looking old man with gray hair. He looked at Su Ye and his companions and grinned, "You brought your subordinates to eat ramen? What a good boss, Mr. Jie."

Clearly, this old man from the Sakura Kingdom mistook Su Ye and the others for Kuranosuke's Night Watch subordinates.

"No, no, Uncle Zhang Tian, ​​these four young people are outstanding talents of the Dragon Kingdom. Especially this young man with his eyes closed, his status is much higher than mine. This time, he came to our Ninth District to do a mission."

The old man named Uncle Zhangtian looked at Su Ye in astonishment: "His status is even higher than yours, Lord Jie?"

He knew Kuranosuke's status in the Ninth District. It was only because the latter particularly liked the ramen cooked by this old man when he was young that he was lucky enough to meet this important figure from the Kitahara family.

And this young man was of even higher status than Jie Jun…

Thinking about it, Uncle Zhangtian hurriedly took a rag and wiped the seat and cart surface until they were almost reflective.

Then, he respectfully invited Su Ye and the other three to sit down one by one: "Gentlemen, what kind of ramen would you like to eat? Please feel free to order. My ramen is quite prestigious on this street!"

Kuranosuke looked at Su Ye and explained in Mandarin, "Uncle Zhangtian's ramen is absolutely amazing, let's eat and talk."

Nodding, Su Ye smiled politely at the old man and sat down opposite Kuranosuke: "Team Leader Kitahara, you couldn't have just dragged us here to eat ramen, could you?"

Shaking his head, Kuranosuke's expression suddenly became serious: "Of course not. As I just said, this matter of the Hundred Demons Parade has made me increasingly dissatisfied with certain decisions made by the Sakura Kingdom. How should I put it..."

"Captain Su, I know you possess powerful combat talent and are also a being with divine perception. Unleash your senses and survey this vast area of ​​ancient houses as thoroughly as possible."

Hearing Kuranosuke's words, Su Ye was puzzled, but still extended the range of his wave perception.

Then you will see.

Through his perception, Su Ye could see everything that the people of Sakura Country were doing.

There were men and women singing Kabuki, frolicking and playing around...

A steady stream of customers flows in and out of this bustling little street…

In some strange places, young girls dressed as catgirl maids and various character cosplayers are doing some bizarre things with male customers…

However, these are probably not the things that Aonosuke wanted him to see.

Slurp slurp slurp~

While eating his hot ramen, Su Ye continued to sense his surroundings.

This time, he focused on some dark areas, where some low-level awakened individuals from the Sakura Kingdom were seen wandering and patrolling in the darkness.

Some have even begun fighting against lower-level evil spirits. Areas leading out of the light have been sealed off by the Night Watch's logistics personnel with a silencing barrier, making them completely undetectable to mortals.

But these things seem quite normal, don't they?

Glancing at Kuranosuke, who was also slurping noodles, he saw the latter mutter in a low voice, "Evil spirits, we should be wary of some strange evil spirits."

Strange evil spirits?

Nodding, Su Ye amplified his perception of the fluctuations once more.

A minute passed...

suddenly!

In my perception, near a public restroom where the lighting was clearly faulty and the space was somewhat dim, a drunken female office worker dressed in business attire was staggering toward the toilet.

In the shadows, hidden among the weeds beside the public toilet, a cannibal was staring greedily at the woman.

There were no night watchmen patrolling the area nearby, or rather, there was a gap in the patrol where one had already passed through the area. This woman was very dangerous!

Ugh!

Unfortunately, the woman was quite drunk and even went to vomit near that patch of weeds.

It was completely enveloped in pitch-black shadows...

This woman is going to die.

Su Ye looked helpless. Even if he rushed there now, he wouldn't be able to get there immediately.

Just as the ogre was about to thrust its tongue at the woman, and Su Ye was about to turn her attention elsewhere…

call out!

A flash of blue light streaked past, severing the ogre's head.

It was another green-haired humanoid evil spirit that Su Ye had noticed long ago, which happened to be lurking nearby, but was somewhat different...

But at this moment, Su Ye's attention was no longer on the strangely-looking evil spirit, but rather...

"Did the evil spirit actually kill another evil spirit and save the woman? Or did it happen to devour its own kind? Or..."

At the ramen stand, Su Ye, who had witnessed this scene, looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
