Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Two divine messengers are inside, currently heading this way.

car?

It's puzzling that the divine messenger used a car when he could have moved quickly.

But overall, it was because they went to Hokkaido that they were "turned" by Akane, so they bear the main responsibility.

Having made his decision, Ooi Yuomi prepared to head to Hokkaido to intercept and kill the two divine messengers.

Before setting off, there was one more problem to deal with: Ooi Yuomi discovered that there was a very mysterious place in the Kanagawa region that was "unscannable".

Ooi Yushin is a ghost spirit. His scanning method is similar to that of the divine messenger, both of which are like radar, emitting energy and then obtaining feedback.

Normally, when scanning any person, object, or divine messenger, there are different energy responses, thus revealing who the target is.

Therefore, under these circumstances, if the two divine messengers from Hokkaido were strong enough, they should also be able to sense that they were being scanned.

Getting back to the main point, in the Kanagawa region, many demonic energy scans have just been launched, but no feedback has been received. It's as if the demonic energy has fallen into a black hole, and no matter how many are launched, they cannot return.

"Lord Demon King..." Ooi Yuomi murmured to himself, wanting to ask Akane what exactly was going on.

However, Qian disappeared.

I don't know where they went.

"So fast..." Ooi Yuji narrowed his eyes. This showed that Akane was much stronger than him. After all, she left without a sound, and he couldn't detect her at all.

However, we can talk about the Ghost Power Black Hole another time. Right now, Ooi Yushin's most important task is to capture the Divine Messengers.

We did it right away.

Having gained demonic powers, Ooi Yuomi began to walk briskly through Yoyogi Park and run through the streets of Tokyo.

It was already late at night, and there was no sign of human life on the streets. Instead, one could see the gradually emerging parade of a hundred demons.

Seeing this, Ooi Yuomi vaguely knew what Akane had gone to do, probably related to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

That makes sense. As the Demon King, Akane should hold a pivotal position in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

As he passed by, Ooi Yutomi stopped and took a look at the procession of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

To be honest, even after serving as a divine messenger for so long, Ooi Yuomi had never seen what a Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) procession looked like.

Now, he has joined the ranks of the spirits, and even if he is seen up close, he will not be regarded as an enemy by the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Even as Ooi Yushin approached the procession of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), one of the bolder little demons waved to him, seemingly as if to say hello.

When greeted by the strange ghost, Ooi Yushin smiled slightly, which was his way of returning the greeting.

During the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Yuomi Ooi discovered that the demons in the procession were all quite weak.

Of course, the so-called "weakness" is only relative to Ooi Yushin. If compared with humans, they are incredibly strong.

While watching the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Ooi Yutomi also pondered how to intercept and kill the two divine messengers.

First of all, Hokkaido and Honshu Island of Japan are not connected by land; if a car needs to cross, it needs to be transported by ferry.

This means that if they had the opportunity to make their move on the ferry, the two divine messengers would have no choice but to jump into the sea if they wanted to escape.

Ooi Yushin knew very well that if the divine messengers fell into the sea, although they might not drown, their combat power would be severely reduced, and at that point, he could do whatever he wanted with them.

As for Yuomi Ooi himself, as a spirit, he has the ability to float on land, so naturally he can also float on the sea.

This means that his combat power will not be reduced if he fights on the sea, which means he will have an advantage over the divine messenger.

Yuomi Oi then left the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) group and headed to northern Japan.

Unlike the divine messengers, his current demonic power is several times greater than before, so his flight speed is also several times faster. He should be able to reach the battlefield before the divine messengers leave the ferry.

……

……

Hokkaido.

coastal.

Not long ago, Shimizu Suzune drove her rented Mercedes slowly into the nearby ferry terminal, preparing to cross the sea.

Her colleague, Risa Ishikawa, was in the passenger seat.

Looking at the dim lights of the ferry terminal, Ishikawa Risa hesitated and said, "Shimizu, I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen. How about we take the ferry back tomorrow morning?"

Shimizu Suzune frowned. "But Ooi is still waiting for us to rescue him..."

Risa Ishikawa shook her head, insisting, "But just now, weren't we scanned by a powerful demonic force? That guy must be Akane, right? She might already be preparing to ambush us on the way!"

She later added, "I just had a strong feeling that if we board the ferry, we will be attacked by ghosts."

Shimizu Suzune glanced around at her surroundings: "But we're already here, and there don't seem to be any hotels nearby. It's not safe to spend the night outdoors here..."

Chapter 179 Near Death

However, Shimizu Suzune was not a stubborn person. She glanced around and said, "Let's go down and check the situation first."

She parked the car on the side of the road, and then she and Risa Ishikawa got out of the car one after the other, standing on the shore enjoying the fishy sea breeze.

After getting off the vehicle, Ishikawa Risa immediately used her divine power to scan the entire area within a radius of several kilometers, and found no abnormalities.

But that wasn't enough. The ghostly energy she had sensed not long ago came from a very, very far place.

"You scanned it? How was it?" Shimizu Suzune keenly noticed Ishikawa Risa's actions just now.

Risa Ishikawa shook her head and said, "I didn't find any. There are no unusual ghostly forces within a few kilometers of this area. There are only some weak ghosts hiding in secluded corners."

After thinking for a moment, Shimizu Suzune gave the order: "That's not enough. We need to scan even more distant areas."

Risa Ishikawa received the order and was preparing to scan further afield, but she seemed to have thought of something and hesitated to begin.

"Ishikawa, what's wrong?" Shimizu Suzune asked with concern.

Risa Ishikawa's gaze narrowed slightly: "I'm thinking about something. If we search a wider area, we're sure we can find the Demon Kings and even Akane."

Shimizu Suzune asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Shouldn't we be doing this kind of thing?"

Risa Ishikawa scratched the back of her head and explained, "What I mean is, if Akane and the others didn't originally intend to harm us, but we scanned them, wouldn't that cause them to react in a negative way?"

Shimizu Suzune was completely confused: "I don't quite understand, Ishikawa, what exactly are you trying to explain?"

Risa Ishikawa continued, "In other words, even if our divine scanning power could scan the entire Earth, it would still be meaningless. It would only reveal the location of the spirits, not their true intentions. In fact, it might provoke them, just as they have just provoked us..."

“I understand what you mean.” Shimizu Rinne nodded. “Then let’s move to the next place and hide until dawn. If they scan us again, we’ll have no choice but to fight back.”

"You understand me best!" Ishikawa Risa happily hugged Shimizu Suzune, but was then pushed away by Shimizu Suzune.

Before Ishikawa Risa could even ask questions, Shimizu Suzune explained, "The car is already off, so let's just leave it here and find a secluded spot nearby to hide."

“Okay, whatever you say.” Ishikawa Risa had no objections.

Before hiding, Shimizu Suzune attached some divine power to the car and the vegetation in the area around it. This divine power was very large and could theoretically attract hostile spirits.

Everything is ready.

Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa eventually found a lawn nearby, where they could lie down and hear the sea breeze and see the waves.

It was three in the morning, and just when the two of them thought there would be no more trouble tonight, a strange wind started to blow.

"They're here." Suddenly, Shimizu Rinne had a flash of inspiration and sat up from the lawn.

Ishikawa Risa, who was lying to the side, saw her companion get up and followed suit.

At the same time, she sensed it.

A strange wind was approaching their rented car at an astonishing speed, and it was expected to arrive at its destination in a few seconds.

The car was parked a dozen meters behind them; theoretically, they could see it as soon as they got up.

After getting up, they both turned their heads at the same time, their gazes falling on the spot where the car was parked.

A loud "BOOM!" was heard, and a bright flash erupted where the car had been parked.

The shockwave from the explosion swept in, blowing the hair of the two divine messenger girls, Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa, causing them to instinctively close their eyes for a moment.

When they opened their eyes again, they found that only flames remained in the parking lot, and their rented car was being engulfed in flames and was quickly burned down to just a steel shell.

Besides the flames, Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa also spotted a figure in the parking lot. He was standing a few meters away from the exploded vehicle, but he seemed completely unaffected by the explosion and flames.

Seeing this, Ishikawa Risa understood everything; the strange figure in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person.

But it doesn't seem like enemy agents are causing trouble here; it's more like a ghost spirit orchestrating this to kill the two divine messenger girls.

"Should we launch an attack?" Ishikawa Risa whispered in Shimizu Suzune's ear.

"Attack!" As Shimizu Rinne uttered these words, she already held her divine weapons—the White Blade and the Dark Bow—in her hands, and stood up straight, ready to charge out.

Upon seeing this, Risa Ishikawa quickly summoned her divine artifact, the Bond Staff, and rushed out!

However, the figure in the parking lot did not back down in the slightest because of the two divine maidens' attack. Instead, he turned around and smiled at them.

Shimizu Suzune and Ishikawa Risa, each holding their own divine weapon, approached the figure and saw its true face.

Upon seeing this person, Shimizu Suzune was immediately shocked: "Ooi?!"

When Ishikawa Risa saw this person, her expression also changed: "Ooi..."

That's right, the one standing in the brightly lit parking lot late at night wasn't some ghost, but rather the Shinto Hall's messenger, Ooi Yuomi.

"What are you doing here? Where's Akane?" Shimizu Rinne subconsciously glanced at Ooi Yushin, but didn't notice any injuries on him.

Risa Ishikawa followed up with, "Yeah, yeah, where did Akane go? Why did she let you out?"

Ooi Yuuji seemed a little impatient with the two divine messenger girls' persistent questioning. He said, "I mean... aren't you asking a bit too many questions? Should I appear before you as a cold corpse to make it seem reasonable?"

This sounded strange, but Shimizu Suzune subconsciously comforted him, "You know, Ooi, that's not what we meant..."

Risa Ishikawa quickly approached Suzune Shimizu and warned, "Shimizu, be careful, this person is acting strangely..."

"...Is there anything strange?" Shimizu Suzune said, while looking at Ooi Yushin's body, but found nothing unusual.

Yes, there was nothing unusual. No trace of demonic power could be seen on Ooi Yushin, but neither could any divine power.

Wait, I can't see divine power?!

Realizing this, Shimizu Suzune immediately raised her white blade and hurled it at Ooi Yushin like a javelin!

However, Ooi Yushin moved his head and body quickly and dodged the high-speed flying blade!
