Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Zhao Hao even thought, why not just erase everyone's memories?

Although it may cause some harm, at least I won't die!

However, he is "kind-hearted" after all, and he wouldn't erase someone's memory just because he talked nonsense for a moment.

My methods are crude, but they can't be as precise as a memory eraser. If I were to actually implement it, these people might have to start learning how to be decent human beings from kindergarten!

Oh well, forget it! Luckily they're far enough away that they can't see my face.

The swift wind roared again, "Please, my Lord, the Happy Wind Man, grant me a divine decree!"

Zhao Hao cleared his throat: "Ahem, there is no divine decree. You don't need to build temples or erect monuments for me, nor do you need to worship me frequently. It doesn't even matter whether you believe in me or not. I don't care!"

Soon, Zhao Hao sent the two hundred or so people back to a safe place in the real world.

Because of his distrust of the bureaucracy of the Japanese government, Zhao Hao did not hand them over to the newly awakened Onmyoji, but sent them to other parts of the city. As for what they did afterward, Zhao Hao was too lazy to care.

However, in order to help them truly adapt to their extraordinary experience, Zhao Hao left "game marks" on them, albeit monkey-themed ones.

They themselves are unaware of its existence and are unable to activate it. However, if they are truly sincere, it is possible for them to enter Zhao Hao's dream, and even become dream game players as a result.

Even if someone learns about Zhao Hao's actions through these two hundred or so people in the future, they will only think that the great swordsman Yasuo is also a player of that "supernatural game" and is taking the opportunity to spread the "lower-level mark".

After all, recruiting downlines earns you a share of the psionic energy bonus.

So, the Yasuo swordsman who suddenly appeared now has a backstory. At least his strength can be attributed to what he gained in the game. Perfect!

Although not all of these people have high psychic potential, they have all experienced extraordinary events and thus meet the criteria.

Those who left the dream world and returned to the real world have dispersed.

Most of them couldn't remember their dream experiences very well; they were vague and unclear.

All I know is that I was saved by a cheerful, wind-loving man; I can't remember anything else.

However, there are still about a dozen or twenty people who remember most of their experiences.

For example, he was tormented and hunted by monsters within the barrier, and chased and devoured by cursed spirits. Later, he was rescued by a crane and a rat-like creature, and then it seems he met God?!

A few individuals with high psychic potential, such as Hayate Naruto, remembered even more, including many details of their dreams.

Like Naruto in the wind, he remembered the whole process.

He looked at the unfamiliar alleyway in front of him and touched his arm in disbelief.

I was scratched by a monster here before, and my arm was so swollen that I could barely move. But now, although my clothes are badly torn, my arm has healed and there isn't even a scar left.

He still clearly remembers his conversation with the great god who saved his life in that "divine realm"—the Happy Wind Man, Sun Destiny.

"My lord seems to be a carefree middle-aged man."

"The crane is on my lord's left, and Mr. Mouse Shiro is at his feet..."

"By the way, there seems to be a squinty-eyed cat standing on a yellow cloud, leaning on a wooden staff, to my lord's right? Is that also one of my lord's subordinate deities?"

"By the way, my Lord said: I don't care! Does the Lord not care...?"

At this moment, Zhao Hao in the dream also asked, "Orange, what are you doing suddenly appearing here?"

Orange said, "Zhao Hao, why don't you introduce your new underlings to the incomparably handsome Cat Immortal who is a connoisseur of food who knows no east, west, south, or north, the master of all the treasures and wealth in the world, the guardian of the Knowledge Codex, the master of the mysteries of the gate, and unmatched by anyone?"

The crane covered its mouth and chuckled, while the mouse Shiro dared not show a smile in front of the orange-seat, biting its tail with all its might without making a sound, almost burying its head in the ground.

Zhao Hao sneered, "What are you introducing? You're insatiable, insatiable, greedy, always carrying around a thick book like a cultured cat, sneaking around to wherever you want, a fat cat immortal whose eyes are practically slits?"

Orange was speechless. "Um, um, I can also grant blessings! Let them pick up money!"

"You can even use the cat cart to take them away!"

Zhao Hao never expected that this sudden idea would lead to his business expanding to Japan.

Firstly, a large number of these people became players of the game "Fantasy Westward Journey," and each developed a considerable number of downlines. This greatly expanded the game's reach in Japan.

Secondly, the company behind the world of mantis shrimp has also expanded its business to Japan.

The first meeting between Hayate Naruto and Gou Quan went like this.

Naruto the Wind: "Are you also a follower of the Happy Wind Man Sun Destiny?"

Gou Quan: "Who? Oh, you mean Ritian! Ritian is right! We're family! Come, come, let me show you something good, the real man's set! It's a Middle Eastern royal court's extraordinary magic oil formula, even the Arab oil princes who used it said it was great~ You use a lot here, so let's keep the good stuff in the family!"

……

Zhao Hao returned to the surface world and found them from two different times.

They were still acting foolishly, after all, what happened just now was like a natural disaster, something beyond human capability.

The scene was so magnificent. Having never witnessed the atomic bomb or the Kyoto bombings, the Japanese had never seen anything like it before. They were somewhat stunned and speechless.

That immortal from the immortal mountain was, after all, well-traveled and knowledgeable, and immediately realized something upon seeing Zhao Hao.

He pressed on politely, "Lord Yaso, do you know what happened with that...that one? Has the calamity dissipated? Was it your doing?"

Zhao Hao immediately denied it three times: "I don't know, it wasn't me, ask someone else!"

Zhao Hao knew exactly what this bastard was thinking: he probably wanted me to go to the underworld to rescue the Japanese. I don't have time for that!

"Ah Ling, go ask if the Shinkansen is open yet? We're in a hurry!"

Yoshino Rei quickly ran to the side to make a phone call, then ran back and shook his head: "Sir, a long section of the Shinkansen track has been destroyed, and it won't be able to run for at least a week."

"What about the plane?"

"Due to the spiritual disaster, all flights at the airport have been suspended."

That's true. Large-scale supernatural events have a huge impact on reality, especially on high-tech products. If a plane flies into a supernatural event area, there's a very high chance of a crash. Many unexplained plane crashes happen this way.

"Tsk~" Zhao Hao didn't want to delay any longer. "Take me to the station and find a Shinkansen train."

Soon Zhao Hao arrived at the station and began modifying a Shinkansen locomotive.

If the track is gone, I'll just modify one that doesn't need a track, right?

Turn this thing into a psionic robot!

Half an hour later...

"Ta-da! The Iron-Blooded Train Hero - Happy Wind Man is born!"

As Zhao Hao spoke, the locomotive suddenly flew into the air and began to transform in a spectacular fashion with a series of clicks. When it landed on the ground, it had already turned into a locomotive-shaped Transformer!

"Wind Man, pull one carriage and take us to Kyoto!"

Iron-Blooded Train Hero Happy Wind Man salutes: "Yes, sir!"

What? You're asking who'll pay for the ride? I did you such a big favor, it's not unreasonable for me to take a Shinkansen bike, is it?

Just as the train was about to depart, Ramenmaru suddenly ran over: "My lord, we just received news that Miss Nanaya Saki has come to Heian-kyo with the head of the Nanaya family, Nanaya Eishi, to follow the Second Prince!"

"Huh?! You've arrived in Heian-kyo? Where are you now?"

Ramen Maru looked troubled, somewhat hesitant to look at Zhao Hao: "I just heard those Onmyoji say that it seems the First Prince, the Second Prince, and other extraordinary beings, along with Heian-kyo, all... all fell to the underworld..."

Chapter 443 Open, open to the Yellow Springs!

Two weeks ago, Nanaya Saki returned from Ame to Japan, a place she thought she would never set foot in again.

The reason is somewhat ridiculous: Ami's powerful figures pressured the family, which led to the return of Nanaya Saki, who had been abandoned, exiled, and left to fend for herself.

They were like pawns in the hands of the powerful, easily discarded to vent their anger.

Saki Nanaya was unable to defy her family's decision because her bloodline contained a restriction, a bloodline restriction that existed from birth.

Although the Shichiya family is one of the four great families of demon slayers in Japan and can be considered a thousand-year-old family, five hundred years ago they were just beasts of burden working for a daimyo, earning a meager salary of 1,500 koku at most. It was only in the last few hundred years that they earned the title of one of the four great families of demon slayers.

The Qiye family's bloodline is still quite excellent. Even during the period of spiritual energy dormancy, several members of each generation were able to awaken spiritual energy and inherit the family business. Therefore, they did not collapse during the period of spiritual energy dormancy. However, this level of bloodline is not enough to warrant placing restrictions within the bloodline to prevent its outflow.

In Japan, a place that values ​​bloodlines and lineage, there are many families with bloodlines even more outstanding than the Shichiya family. After all, they spend all their time researching this stuff.

Even the imperial lineage engaged in numerous acts that violated ethical norms in their pursuit of bloodline purification. Only in the last hundred years or so has things improved somewhat.

It's one thing for those ancient noble families, military families, and great aristocrats to impose bloodline restrictions, but who does your Qiye family think you are?

However, the other members of the Qiye family were not subject to bloodline restrictions.

The reason why Nanaya Saki was placed under a bloodline restriction before she was born was because of her mother.

Her mother was not human, but a hybrid of human and demon.

Just like in comics, some ghosts are actually quite cute, you know?

In the final years of the period of spiritual dormancy, the Qiye family also felt that they could not hold on any longer and that if things continued like this, they would be doomed.

If they don't come up with a solution, the Qiye family, one of the four great exorcism families, might not even have a single new generation of exorcists left.

The pressure of passing on a thousand-year-old family tradition is immense, leading them to resort to various methods, even ruthless ones.

What does it matter that the head of the Seven Nights family had sex with a ghost woman? Other families have made even more outrageous attempts.

After all, the extraordinary is the foundation of these families, something they absolutely cannot give up.

However, the bloodline of demons is extremely unstable. In fact, it could be said to pose a great hidden danger.

In Japan, there are many examples of people who used ghosts but ended up being devoured by them.

Some families that originally possessed demon blood eventually perished for various reasons.

There are countless stories about family members going berserk, bloodline curses, a mixed-race genius suddenly appearing who goes astray and destroys his own family first...

Although the Shichiya family gritted their teeth and wanted to use the demon bloodline to maintain the birth of extraordinary individuals, their fear of demons was ingrained in their very bones.

They are exorcists after all! Exorcising monsters is routine for them, but fighting demons is an elite battle.

It is said that the first ancestor repelled a great demon that was ravaging the world, and that is how the history of the Shichiya family began.

Now, to actually infiltrate the bloodline of the demons—"to betray the enemy and protect oneself"—frankly speaking, there are many voices of opposition within the family. It would also be highly inappropriate for this to spread to the outside world.

But when you're at your wit's end, who cares about those things?

Finally, Nanaya Saki was born as the "experimental subject." Despite being the eldest daughter of the family head, she had no official status and was like a transparent person in the family.

What further illustrates the capriciousness of fate is that when Nanaya Saki was not even ten years old, her psychic powers began to revive!

At this moment, Nanaya Saki, who was "prepared for necessary situations by the head of the family," suddenly found herself in an extremely awkward and dangerous situation.

Although no one suggested destroying this useless "experimental subject," Nanaya Saki's already awkward situation suddenly worsened.

To improve her daughter's treatment, Nanaya Saki's mother worked tirelessly to demonstrate her value and serve the family, performing exorcisms and other rituals. She was constantly busy.
