Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

"Yes, let's start the war!"

The police inspectors present became indignant, one after another, and stood up, clenching their fists in a "fighting" stance.

However, the divine messengers hesitated to stand up despite the situation. They were more rational and knew that the ghosts were cunning and would definitely not fight during the day.

However, given the current atmosphere, it seemed impolite to remain seated, so Ooi Yuomi stood up and clenched his fists.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"fighting!"

"..."

For a moment, the Shinto Hall conference room was filled with the sounds of "battle." In that instant, all the inspectors felt that they were invincible again, completely forgetting their deceased predecessors.

However, Fujita Mino, who was the instigator, did not expect that these police inspectors would react so strongly.

Because the noise was too loud and noisy, Kitamura Eri approached Fujita Mino from the other side of the camera to see what was going on, but was kicked away.

"Why did you kick me?" Kitamura Eri was a little unhappy.

Faced with Kitamura Eri's displeasure, Fujita Mino simply said, "Not suitable for children."

Eri Kitamura pouted: "Tch, do you really think I'm a child? It's just a meeting, why is it inappropriate for children!"

However, despite Kitamura Eri arguing with Fujita Mino, she didn't go any closer because she had already realized that the people shouting were from the Shinto Hall.

While Kitamura Eri is on good terms with the Shinto priestess Fujita Mino, it doesn't mean she's on the same side as everyone in the Shinto Office. For example, she's not aligned with the Shinto priestess Ooi Yuomi, and she even seems to be inclined to let someone die.

The meeting then adjourned.

As everyone went home, Shimizu Suzune gave a special reminder to the attendees: "It's already late at night, so please be careful on your way home."

Update later

As the title suggests, the author is currently swimming outside.

Chapter 170 Insufficient Cognition

As divine messengers, their targets are definitely bigger than those of ordinary people, so Shimizu Suzune was not at ease letting them go back on their own.

As for the police inspector?

the same.

They all possess magical artifacts and have dealt with ghosts and spirits many times, so it's inevitable that they will be targeted by some ghosts and spirits.

But since everyone is an adult, it's not feasible to take them home every day, so Shimizu Suzune simply grabbed Ishikawa Risa's hand and said, "Come with me to a place."

“Okay.” Ishikawa Risa didn’t say a word, and silently let Shimizu Suzune lead her up to the rooftop.

It was late at night, and the wind on the rooftop was inexplicably strong, making it difficult for Ishikawa Risa to open her eyes.

However, she remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Shimizu Suzune asked, "Aren't you going to ask why I took you to the rooftop?"

The wind had died down a bit, and Ishikawa Risa smoothed her wind-blown hair, laughing as she said, "It can't be jumping off a building, can it?"

In response to her teasing, Shimizu Rinne joked, "It's only a few floors. You won't die if you jump. Besides, our divine messengers have enhanced bodies. We might not die even if we jump a hundred floors."

Risa Ishikawa pursed her lips, looking somewhat unhappy, and said, "Why are you taking this so seriously..."

Shimizu Suzune let go of his hand and said as she walked outside, "Alright, enough joking. I brought you here mainly so you could help me monitor our colleagues."

She added, "The Ghost King's activities are becoming more and more frequent, and I'm worried about my colleagues going home alone at night."

Risa Ishikawa didn't say anything, but silently followed behind Suzune Shimizu, watching her open her third eye.

Shimizu Rinne, who had awakened her third eye, turned around and said to Ishikawa Risa, "You should awaken your third eye too."

“Okay.” Ishikawa Risa nodded obediently, then walked to the other side and activated her Heavenly Eye to monitor her colleagues, also to monitor the possible activities of the Demon King.

However, what puzzled both Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa was that the legendary Demon King did not launch an attack on the police inspector.

The little devils along the way, upon seeing the divine messenger and the police inspector from afar, quickly hid away.

Therefore, tonight's surveillance was fruitless, and the legendary Ghost King was not spotted.

No, let alone the Ghost King, we can't even see a single elite-level ghost. We don't know where they've all gone.

The mission was complete. Shimizu Rinne closed her Heavenly Eye and then turned to meet Ishikawa Risa, who had also closed her Heavenly Eye: "So, Ishikawa, where do you plan to spend the night?"

Risa Ishikawa paused, then said, "Ah, me? Haven't I always considered the Shinto Hall my home?"

Shimizu Suzune patted Ishikawa Risa on the shoulder and said, "Me too, let's go back and get ready to take a shower and go to bed, my dear sister!"

Risa Ishikawa patted Suzune Shimizu on the shoulder and said, "Sisters!"

……

……

Midnight.

Tokyo.

Because of the frequent ghost stories and even the ghost king's presence, there weren't many pedestrians on the streets at night.

In addition, the closer it gets to midnight, the colder the temperature becomes, with street temperatures now even dropping below zero.

Even though it's still autumn, this sudden drop in temperature caught most people off guard, and they all retreated into buildings, which at least made things a little better.

This resulted in the streets being deserted, accelerating the procession of ghosts taking to the streets for a night parade of a hundred spirits.

This is not the first time that the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) has been held in Tokyo, but tonight's Hyakki Yagyō felt particularly oppressive among the demons.

This oppression is not the oppression imposed on humans by ghosts, but rather the oppression that the ghosts themselves deeply feel.

They all knew very well that the most powerful ghost king in history had been born and would soon be carrying out his activities. Faced with this "big fish," the weak ghosts, who were "small fish," naturally trembled in fear.

After all, everyone knows that if the Ghost King wants to become stronger, the simplest way is to directly devour other weaker ghosts.

Therefore, despite it being a time of celebration for the spirits, there was no joy to be seen among them; they were all dejected.

What they don't know is that the potential demon king, a ghost girl named Akane, is currently mingling in the procession of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

What she did was different from other ghosts. Everyone mistakenly believed that the Ghost King should be high and mighty, aloof, and would casually devour weaker ghosts.

However, this is not the case. After all, Qian is also a ghost, and she is a combination of the ghosts of several women who died unjustly.

She also had her own idea, which was to join the procession of the Hundred Demons Parade and experience the atmosphere.

Believe it or not, Akane has been hiding in the procession of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons for half an hour, but not a single ghost has discovered her true identity.

The so-called "Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts" is actually similar to a human going to a market, where some ghosts will sell some "small commodities" along the way.

However, most ghosts come out of the underworld to get some fresh air and join the crowd to see the beautiful human world. This is similar to a human "journey," except that ghosts want to see the world they lived in.

Another issue is that not all ghosts are intelligent; many ghosts simply follow the crowd based on their innate instincts.

These kinds of ghosts are like ducks following their mothers; they follow her when there's nothing wrong, but scatter at the slightest disturbance.

These ghosts are often seen as prey by higher-level ghosts during the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, and will be hunted down afterwards.

Therefore, Akane mingled with the procession of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons for this purpose; she was selecting "prey" that suited her taste.

After a ten-minute selection process, Qian identified three low-level ghosts. These low-level ghosts were all female, which matched Qian's overall soul essence, and since they lacked intelligence, they were the best blood packs.

Yes, for Qian, her prey must be female ghosts, because only in this way can she avoid going insane.

If she chooses male prey, then Qian may be in a state of "genderless" or "intersex", which will lead to her personality split and will be detrimental to her final battle with those divine messengers in a while.

Indeed, as the Demon King, Akane certainly understands who her future enemies will be.

But now, Qian would rather have a chat with that legendary person.

Which person?

Akane pondered this in her heart, then left the procession of the Hundred Demons Parade and walked to the back of a G-Class, looking out at the night sky.

Akane said the summoning phrase with anticipation: "Kami-sama".

However, there was no response.

Akane was very patient. She then put her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured, "Kami-sama, are you there?"

Still no response.

Qian slowly opened her eyes and lowered her hand.

We await the response from the Supreme God.

A while later.

Still no response.

Just as Qian sighed and was about to give up, a spatial rift opened up in front of her.

Qian walked straight in.

Once inside, as expected, Qian saw the legendary, incredibly handsome man.

At this moment, Makoto Araki is not in the realm of gods, but in a place that appears to be the real world.

This is a lawn, and the surrounding area looks like a desolate wilderness. I wonder what he's doing here all by himself.

It was pitch black here, but the ghosts weren't human and didn't rely on light to find their targets, so they had no effect on Akane.

Unaffected, Makoto Araki sat on a rock, looked at Akane, and leisurely asked, "So, what do you want from me?"

Facing the man, Qian hesitated, unable to move: "I never imagined that the legendary man actually exists..."

And Makoto Araki was also looking at her.

Akane's appearance is very ordinary; she's just a girl in a white dress. But Makoto Araki can see many faces in her face.

This Qian, she really did absorb the souls of many women to become a ghost, so she must have a lot of experience.

For example, she was stared at by Makoto Araki for a long time without feeling the slightest bit shy, which was completely unlike a young girl.

So, Araki Makoto became interested and asked directly, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

However, Qian raised her head and tossed her hair back: "Why should I be afraid of you?"
