Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Page 148

"Wait, Xia Jun, what are you doing..."

She suddenly noticed that while she was drawing her bow and arrow, Xia Fan had actually climbed up the stone tower silently, stepping on the uneven stones and crawling towards the top.

"Human justice?"

"The Kawagoe Matsudaira clan has ruled this land for generations. How dare you, a mere lowly person from the lower town, speak of justice?!"

As if sensing a greater threat, the huge face of the corpse-guarding spirit opened into a huge mouth like an abyss, and bit down on Xia Fan who was hanging on the stone tower!

"That's great. I was still worried that even if I climbed to the top and jumped up, I wouldn't be able to touch it..."

Xia Fan, who was on the tower, breathed a sigh of relief, stopped climbing, and looked up without any intention at this giant face formed by countless human faces...

The light in his pupils quickly dimmed and turned into a deep black, swallowing up the surrounding whites of his eyes.

"Just a lowly person from the lower town?"

A disdainful sneer appeared from the corner of "Xia Fan"'s mouth.

"No matter how much I despise this 'Divine Body', it is not something a little wild soul like you can touch."

Without even looking at the huge monster above his head, he calmly let go, jumped down, and kicked the pile of rocks lightly.

"No... a mere Onmyoji... why would there be a god inside of me..."

As if realizing something, the wild soul guarding the corpse froze in expression, and its falling momentum suddenly stopped, letting out a low cry of disbelief.

[Faith value -999...Current accumulated faith value 26789]

But before He could finish His words, He was like a balloon that was pierced by a needle and torn apart in the air.

"No... I, the Matsudaira clan, can't end like this..."

Those broken human faces were wailing and struggling, trying to return to the stone tower.

"Rumble, rumble..."

But as the ground shook violently, the tall stone tower collapsed and turned into gray sand...

The stone tower turned to dust, and the foul air that had been lingering there also dispersed into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

The residents who were standing in the field also fell to the ground.

"With just a light kick, he managed to remove the 'Corpse Guarding Wild Soul' that touched the threshold of the Wild God, and also destroyed this weird spirit summoning tower?!"

"Mr. Xia Fan, what kind of secret technique of exorcism did you use just now?"

Although he had seen Xia Fan easily crush the Red God and repel the Wild God Warriors, the scene just now still made Jinguji Aoi feel that it was completely beyond the "supernatural theory" he had learned over the years.

In the dense dust, Xia Fan's lone and proud figure became even more unfathomable in her eyes.

Fortunately, he had planned to break the formation from the relatively weak areas, but he easily solved the current dilemma in the most difficult way.

"You just said..."

"Amaterasu's agent publicly issued a declaration, denying his identity as a 'living god' to the people, and abandoning his godhood?"

Xia Fan, whose figure was blurred through the mist-like dust, asked Jinguji Aoi in a cold and arrogant tone.

Chapter 246: Mountain God Calling Son

"Yes, it is……"

Although it was still Xia Fan's extremely familiar voice, it made Jinguji feel unprecedentedly unfamiliar.

"The then emperor issued the Human Declaration after the war and began his nationwide 'Human Tour' the following month, appearing as a mortal to personally comfort the people. This has been going on for more than 70 years."

"The imperial family, as the proxy of Amaterasu, has lost more and more popularity among the people since then..."

Under the inexplicable feeling of pressure, she subconsciously answered truthfully.

"Hey……"

"At all costs, the agent who had been cultivated for thousands of years actually destroyed his own godhood..."

"In order to fight for faith, we used all means, but in the end, it was all in vain..."

"Then the sun may no longer have the face to rise from the east."

"This is the funniest joke I have heard in thousands of years!"

"You are very good, I like you very much...hahaha...hahaha..."

"Xia Fan" in the dust seemed to have heard some huge joke and laughed wildly towards the sky.

“Hahaha, cough…after finishing the work…cough…it’s about time to go back…cough cough cough cough…”

But the next second, his laughter seemed to be choked and stopped abruptly.

[You have completed the oracle: destroy the 'Human Soul Tower', remove the 'Corpse Guarding Wild Soul', and rectify the yin and yang of the universe. God grants you the blessing: Mountain God Calling Son]

[The mountain god calls his son: The sound echoes in the empty valley, and then dissipates like smoke. Your throat contains infinite musical scales, reaching the boundary of the inhuman.]

The oracle echoed in his heart, and Tianyu Shen reluctantly returned his body to Xia Fan.

"Jinguji, are you okay?"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Fan's figure rushed out like the wind and stood in front of Jinguji with a concerned look on his face.

"I am fine."

"These ashes pose a risk of suffocation. We need to rescue these people quickly..."

Aoi Jinguji covered her mouth and nose with her long sleeves and spoke in a muffled voice.

Although she noticed that Xia Fan was acting abnormally just now, she had no time to ask because there were unconscious residents everywhere in the dust.

"What, ashes?!"

"It's all over. I think I inhaled a little bit when I laughed just now... It's all that guy's fault. Why was he laughing for no reason..."

These words made Xia Fan's breathing pause, and he quickly took out his mask and put it on.

"But, with so many people, how can the two of us move them..."

Looking at the twenty or so people lying on the ground, Xia Fan was in trouble again.

"Inspector Higurashi's location is over there, quick!"

"Keep in formation and be alert!"

At the same time, the sound of dense footsteps and the low shouts of men came from the other side.

"Jinguji Miko!"

"Sorry, we arrived near the community a long time ago, but suddenly there was a heavy fog and we couldn't get out..."

In the dust, agents wearing combat uniforms, tactical masks and armed with live ammunition rushed up to the two men.

"These people...what's going on...how should we deal with them?"

In the full dust, dozens of people were lying on the ground, leaving the agents at a loss as to what to do.

"Let's go back and deal with the rest. Cover your mouth and nose, handle the scene, and rescue the victim!"

"Yes!"

Under the instructions of Aoi Jinguji, the agents carefully began to clean up the scene and carry the wounded.

"Inspector Higurashi's vital signs are stable, it seems he just fainted!"

"So is the muscular short guy next to him!"

"Some people here are breathing too!"

"Tell the medical vehicle on standby outside to come in and take him back to the hospital for examination."

……

The moon was rising above the branches, and the outer walls of the inpatient building looked particularly pale under the moonlight.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah..."

In the deserted hospital atrium, Xia Fan sat alone on a bench, looking up and singing like a goose.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The sounds in his throat overlapped, the tone changed from rough to fine, and the pitch seemed to have no limit, continuing to climb upwards...

"The pitch just now should have reached C3... Why do I feel so relaxed..."

Xia Fan suddenly hung up the phone, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He looked around like a thief, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was not disturbing anyone.

What Xia Fan was testing was the new protection [Mountain God Calling Son] that he had just obtained after removing the "Corpse Guarding Wild Soul".

Although I don’t quite understand what the so-called “infinite scale” and “inhuman boundaries” mean…

But after he howled a few times, he found that his original pitch, which was at most G6, could be easily raised to the C3 level of a professional tenor, and it felt like it was more than enough.

"This is a divine blessing after all, it can't be as simple as just raising the pitch, right?"

Deciding to do some further research, Xia Fan opened the vocal range test app on his phone...

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

He took a deep breath, spoke again, and began the "high note test" with all his might.

As the pitch in my voice continued to rise, the scale on the mobile phone APP quickly reached C1, and then went up all the way...

"what!!!!"

At this moment, the sound emitted by Xia Fan's vocal cords was no longer like that of a normal human being. It was as sharp as a strong wind blowing through the cracks in the valley, and as high-pitched as a dolphin whistling during mating.

Looking at the C8 displayed on the phone, he held his voice, his eyes full of horror, and closed his mouth again.

"C8, just now, we really reached C8..."

"Is this effortlessly rising pitch the so-called 'infinite scale'?"

"At first, I thought it was like the Shepard scale, using an auditory illusion to create an effect where the pitch goes up infinitely, but this is a real C8!"

Xia Fan took a deep breath to replenish the consumed oxygen, but he was still a little dazed.

In music theory, there is a principle called "infinite scale", scientifically known as "Sheppard scale", which uses three sets of scales that are exactly the same except for the range. Through clever changes in strength and loop playback, it can deceive the brain into creating the illusion that the pitch of sound is infinitely rising or infinitely falling.

But the false pitch rise of the "Sheppard Scale" cannot fool the testing software. The pitch assigned by "Yamagami Calloko" has truly reached the limit of human beings.

You should know that the upper limit of the vocal range of professionally trained tenor singers is generally C3.

C8 is the highest note on the piano keyboard, with an ultra-high frequency of 4435 Hz. Only a very few gifted male singers such as Jardan Lopez and Vitas have set the chicken record for the C8 scale.

But what really made Xia Fan feel terrified was that when he maintained the C8 dolphin sound like a gust of wind, his body still felt at ease, as if he could go even higher...

"Try again..."

After swallowing his saliva, Xia Fan stared at the test app and spoke again...

"what!"

This time, he only used one second, and the dolphin sound in his mouth soared to C8...

"what!!!!"

But Xia Fan did not stop. Instead, he used his mind to drive the sound and ascend to a higher area again...

"what……"

Xia Fan lowered his voice and kept his mouth open...

The pitch rose to a certain level, and the sound coming out of his throat suddenly stopped...

In the small hospital atrium, there seemed to be a silent and invisible sound wave spreading out from him.
