The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

A week ago, An Luo clearly stated that there was an extremely attractive azure iron sheet in this direction, and its attraction was unprecedentedly strong.

Therefore, under An Luo's strong request, Hei Jianguang had no choice but to move in this direction with him. After all, they had plenty of time, and staying in one place every day was indeed a bit boring, so they just came out to relax. Moreover, he and An Luo were invincible in the sea, so there was no danger. Of course, it was limited to the sea.

He knew how dangerous the land was. He had personally experienced those powerful firearms and the gods with unclear attitudes.

Anyway, the previous small pieces of iron were all found in the sea, so the target this time is probably similar, at least that's what Hei Jianguang thought yesterday.

And today, he and An Luo set foot on this land. The land was nothing special, at least they didn't have to go into the city... Two hours later, Hei Jianguang and An Luo were staring at each other at the edge of the forest.

"..."

"..."

"Don't tell me that the small piece of iron you sensed is in the city..."

"Woo..."

"Let's go back to the sea and treat this week as a trip." After saying that, Hei Jianguang walked into the forest without looking back.

"Woo woo!" Now it was Anluo's turn to get anxious. He hurried forward and grabbed Hei Jianguang's grass skirt, pulling it back, "Woo woo! (You can't do this!)"

"Damn it, why? Do you know how dangerous the city is?" Hei Jianguang pulled at his grass skirt and wrestled with An Luo, while saying earnestly: "I know that thing is very attractive to you, but you have to be alive to get it, right? Be good, I'll grill a giant squid for you when we get back. Be obedient, and we don't need that little piece of iron anymore."

“Wuwu… (No, I want it! I want it!)”

"It's no use behaving like a spoiled brat! Just let go!"

“Ugh! (No!)”

"Boom~"

The grass skirt woven with tree bark and vines could not withstand the struggle between the two giant beasts. As expected, the grass skirt broke in an instant.

Because An Luo was floating in the air thanks to the water ball, inertia had no effect on him, but Hei Jianguang fell to the ground due to inertia.

"You're so annoying!" Hei Jianguang, who fell to the ground, turned over and sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at An Luo angrily.

"Ugh... (I didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry...)"

Hei Jianguang did not respond. He was still angry and put his hands on his chest, turning his head away and not looking at An Luo in front of him.

Jian Hei Jian Guang seemed really angry, and An Luo weakly poked his shoulder with his mouth: "Woo woo...! (If you really don't like entering the city, then forget it. Although the small iron piece is very attractive, you are more important!)"

"Ugh... (I listen to you. I don't want it anymore.)"

"No!" Hei Jianguang, who was still angry, suddenly turned his head and looked at An Luo who was close at hand and said angrily: "You said no, so you don't want it? I don't agree!"

"Woo?"

"Open your mouth and spit out three gold coins you collected in the deep sea for me."

"vomit……"

Although he didn't know why Hei Jianguang suddenly changed his attitude, An Luo already knew that he agreed to help him. He then opened his mouth happily and vomited out three gold coins stored in his body.

It's not like they're doing nothing every day in the sea... Well, they're indeed doing nothing every day, because there's nothing they have to do.

Therefore, after eating and drinking, the greatest pleasure is to go exploring in the sea. As the number of small iron pieces in An Luo's body increases, his wisdom also greatly increases.

The seabed, which was originally dark and without any fun, actually contains surprises upon careful observation, not to mention the darkness and light accompanying it.

As a black dragon, it is easy for Hei Jianguang to hold his breath for several hours under the sea, and underwater exploration has become their enduring hobby.

Hei Jianguang, who has human memories, doesn't know the seabed as well as An Luo, but he knows what valuable items are.

The wreckage of shipwrecks, treasures lost in the seabed, anything that Hei Jianguang took a fancy to was stored in An Luo's body, including a large number of gold coins and gold bars of unknown age.

Although he never thought that these gold coins would come in handy.

"Okay, it will be much more convenient with these gold coins."

Hei Jianguang didn't show any disgust. He simply reached out and picked up the three gold coins. Then black flames ignited on his hands, burning away all the dirt on the surface of the gold coins.

"Wait for me here, I should be back in a few hours."

After leaving a word, Hei Jianguang, wearing a grass skirt, left the forest in a few jumps like a nimble savage, although he was now dressed like a savage.

Soon Hei Jianguang disappeared from An Luo's sight. Only then did An Luo spit out a few bubbles: "Woo... (I will wait for you.)"

After saying that, Anluo was like a curious baby, looking around the forest. After all, it was a marine creature, and this was its first time on land. The small islands in the sea did not count as land.

The ants crawling on the muddy ground could keep An Luo staring at them for more than ten minutes. These were creatures that did not exist in the sea.

The sun in the sky gradually moves towards the west, and time slowly passes in the shadows of different angles.

"I'm back……"

Just as An Luo was chewing the leaves in his mouth to savor the flavor, Hei Jianguang's weak voice suddenly rang out, and it turned out that Hei Jianguang had changed his grass skirt and replaced it with a decent black casual outfit.

The black casual outfit completely concealed the cherry blossom tattoo on his body, at least it was not visible at first glance, and it could only be vaguely seen on the neck.

In addition to this, he was wearing a pair of black sunglasses on his face, which blocked his completely unreasonable golden pupils. The golden pupils were too conspicuous and had to be covered.

“Wuwuwu? Wuwu… (What’s wrong? You look downcast.)”

"Don't mention it. It's so unlucky." Hei Jianguang casually threw a large travel bag in his hand to the ground, and then sat on it.

"I first found a family hanging clothes on the edge of the city, then changed into normal clothes. I wanted to leave a gold coin as money for the clothes, but I didn't expect... I was discovered."

"They thought I was a thief who stole my clothes and didn't see the gold coins I put next to me, so I was chased for two blocks. Because I was afraid that my supernatural identity would be discovered, I didn't dare to run too fast. I just relied on my physical strength to get rid of them."

"After that, I melted the remaining two gold coins into irregular gold nuggets. I wanted to buy them at a jewelry store on the roadside, but the jewelry store suspected the origin of the gold nuggets. I had to sell them at a very low price, which was a huge loss."

"Then I went to a clothing store and changed into some black casual clothes, bought a large travel bag and sunglasses. I wanted to throw away the clothes I took off, but after thinking about it, I decided to give them back to the owner. I am kind-hearted."

"…I didn't expect that I would be discovered again on the way back. They wanted to catch me again, so I had no choice but to throw away my clothes and run all the way back."

"Alas..." Hei Jianguang sighed as if he had tasted all the ups and downs of life.

"Woo!"

"Don't comfort me, I know I'm unlucky." Hei Jianguang spoke softly, then stood up with the help of the tree next to him, and then opened the large travel bag he was sitting on.

"Come in quickly, I want to bypass this city that makes me unhappy and go directly to the next city!"

Chapter 348: Monsters in Kyoto

Northern Kyoto Prefecture, Maizuru City.

Maizuru City is one of the sub-administrative districts under the jurisdiction of Kyoto Prefecture. Facing the Sea of ​​Japan, it is not only the largest city in the north in terms of population size, but is also the most important city in the north in terms of economy.

Watanabe Kamizo, who works in this city, naturally feels proud. He is the only young man in their village who has come to a big city to work. Although he is in sales, it is a serious job after all.

Although I was unable to go to Tokyo to work, Kyoto was not bad either. You know, Kyoto had always been the capital of their country from the time Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heian-kyo in 794 AD until Tokyo was established as the capital in 1868 AD.

Unfortunately, due to the emergence of Tokyo, there is no definite capital now. Kansai, where Kyoto is located, and Kanto, where Tokyo is located, have always looked down on each other, and the people of the two regions also have indelible grudges.

But this has nothing to do with Watanabe Jōzo. He is not a native of Kansai, so he has no opinion on Tokyo. If possible, he would like to go to Tokyo to work, but unfortunately there is no if.

Kyoto is Kyoto. Although it is located on the edge, it is still within the scope of Kyoto Prefecture.

but……

Looking at the sunny weather, Watanabe Jōzan suddenly remembered the legend of Kyoto. Legend has it that Kyoto is the only way for the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and even this capital was built to suppress evil spirits.

If he encountered a ghost...

"Huh~"

Watanabe Jyouzo suddenly shuddered and dispelled his wild thoughts. Although there were indeed some monsters and demons appearing in this era, it was obvious that he was overthinking it.

Even if the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons is going to happen, it shouldn't happen at this time. After all, it's only March now, and there are still about four months to the Ullambana Festival in July. The Ullambana Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival and the Soul Festival, and that time period is when the yin energy in the world is the strongest.

As for why he knew this, it is clearly written in the book.

The coming of the era of demons and monsters has made ordinary people like them start to become interested in that knowledge. Not to mention anything else, they must know something in order to save their lives, otherwise they might do something blasphemous without knowing it and have no place to cry.

Besides, it was noon now, we couldn't let him really see a ghost on the street.

"It's not even summer yet, why is the weather already getting hot?" Watanabe Jyouzo tugged at the tie around his neck and sighed, feeling a little stuffy.

The weather is so hot that it's unreasonably hot. It's so hot in spring, how hot will it be in summer?

Watanabe Jōzo wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the faint flames appearing beside him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was too busy and had this kind of hallucination when it was a little hot.

It's just that the flame seems real, as if there's really a fire around me.

Fire...fire?

"Fuck!!!"

Watanabe Jyouzo suddenly reacted and dodged sideways in shock, holding up his briefcase to block in front of him. He looked back in his original direction with empty eyes, and silently said in his heart: Good fortune is within, evil is outside...

It was a burning firework floating in the air. In the firework, one could see the image of a thin monk begging for food. When the monk noticed that Watanabe Jōzo was looking at him, he nodded slightly and continued to float forward.

The Fireworks Monk seemed to have no ill intentions, and it seemed that they just met because they were walking on the same road.

Watanabe Jōzan was so frightened that he couldn't move. Anyone would become like him after being overly frightened. When he saw the monk leaving, he reacted immediately.

escape!

But after he turned around and ran two or three steps, he somehow took out his cell phone and took several photos of the Fireworks Monk who was gradually going away.

He vaguely remembered that there was a reward for discovering and reporting supernatural creatures. Of course, there had to be evidence. Without evidence, you could say nothing.

………………

Maizuru City Supernatural Division.

Since the existence of the supernatural was thoroughly announced to the public, the Supernatural Countermeasures Department has no longer been secretive, but has openly informed the public of its existence.

After all, there will definitely be more and more supernatural beings in the future, and hiding them will only put them at a disadvantage. They are the first country to have supernatural beings, so this countermeasure department was also the first to implement it.

In the 47 first-level administrative regions of the island nation, each region has established its own supernatural countermeasures department, and these departments then set up branches in the cities, towns, and villages under their jurisdiction.

However, just like the 47 first-level administrative regions of the island nation are directly under the central government, these 47 countermeasures departments are directly under the supernatural headquarters in Tokyo.

And today, Kyoto’s countermeasures department finally realized what it means to be closed for three years and then make enough money to survive for three years after reopening.

Although the meaning is a little off, this is the best description.

Obviously, we had never encountered any monsters or demons before, and the supernatural countermeasures department was just a decoration, but today the supernatural problems suddenly exploded.

The most direct manifestation is that when Watanabe Jyouzo came to the supernatural branch in Maizuru City, the receptionist asked: "Did you see a ghost or a monster today?"

Watanabe Jozo: "Ah? Ah... yes."

Why are you so calm? I saw a ghost! And there is such important evidence as photos!

When Watanabe Jyouzo left the Maizuru City Supernatural Branch, he was still wondering if something was wrong, but since he had received the bonus, it seemed that nothing was wrong.

He originally wanted to continue working in Kyoto, but the bonus was too much.

Therefore, Watanabe Kamizo decided that he would resign! He would leave Kyoto and go to Tokyo to work hard. It was not because he was afraid of Kyoto ghosts or anything, but because Tokyo seemed to have no supernatural problems so far, so he was not afraid!

That's right, he was not afraid!

………………

Kyoto Supernatural Countermeasures Department, meeting room.

"The above are the clues about the appearance of supernatural beings received from various branches from midnight to now."

Listening to the reporter's detailed report, several heads of the response departments all put their hands on their foreheads. What is this? This is called bad luck!

They had anticipated the problem of ghosts appearing in Kyoto. After all, the ancient name of Kyoto was Heian-kyo. The meaning of these three words Heian-kyo is well known to everyone in the island country.

Monsters, Heian Kyo, and One Hundred Demons at Night.

This kind of monster culture permeates every aspect of their country, and this culture is enduring in ACGN, but no one really wants this to come into reality.

The Kyoto Countermeasures Department naturally did not dare to take lightly these ghosts that appeared out of nowhere. Therefore, the moment they received the clues about the ghosts, the Analysis Department worked day and night to analyze the reasons for the appearance of the ghosts through clues.

But the more they analyzed, the more frightened each analyst became. If their guess was correct, these ghosts that appeared and were photographed could be searched in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade Atlas.

In other words, this is most likely a precursor to the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons!

Hundreds of Ghosts at Night!

The meaning of this word doesn't even need to be explained. From the literal meaning, you can tell that it is a night parade of monsters.

This word first appeared in the story of the Ascetic One Hundred Demons Parade at Night in Uji Shiyu Monogatari, and was spread through various folk gossips and eventually became a legend. Until now, it has infiltrated paintings, dramas, and books.
