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

"Jinguji Miko, Nixing Shojo, if conventional firepower is ineffective against that guy, what should we do?!"

Looking at the forest not far away with fallen trees and dust all over the sky, as well as the huge figure moving in the forest, Higurashi looked behind him for help...

"Judging from the aura, the one who descended here is a desolate god."

"I will try to weaken the power of the wild god, and the second monk will provide you with fire support!"

Aoi Jinguji, dressed in a shrine maiden's costume, got off the vehicle at the rear.

"Second monk, provide us with fire support?"

"You said it the other way around..."

While Inspector Higurashi and the detectives were still puzzled by this remark, Jinguji had already disappeared into the woods with a black umbrella and a longbow on his back, looking anxious.

"Amitabha, the god of the wilderness has descended upon the world, a sign of the suffering of all living beings."

Inside the open car door, there was only a thin old monk with white hair and beard and a wrinkled face.

"Please give the weapon to me. After I consecrate it, I may be able to break the power of the wild god that protects him."

He got out of the car with the slow movement of a turtle, sat cross-legged on the grass, clasped his hands together, and stared at the aura of the wild god rising into the sky from the forest.

"Open...open the eyes? Give me a gun?"

"What are you standing there for? The abbot of Sensoji Temple has personally consecrated it. Are you afraid it won't work?!"

While the other detectives were still in a daze, Inspector Higurashi had already swiftly placed the guns and ammunition on his body in front of the old monk.

"Namo Amitabha, Dothagata. Dodiyata. Domata. Domodaraya. Amitabha, Samyaksambodhi..."

The old monk said no more, closed his eyes and began to recite scriptures.

Although this second-rank monk is old and not good-looking, he is the current abbot of the Seikannon sect of Kinryuzan Sensō-ji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo. He is a member of the Psychic Association together with Aoi of Jingu-ji Temple.

Today, the ninth lesson is about the case of "The Complete Suicide Manual". We asked Er Xing Seng Zheng to come and assist in the investigation. He received an urgent call for help from Xia Fan and followed along.

"Oops, I forgot to ask how long it would take to consecrate the Buddha... Advisor Xia Fan and the Shrine Maiden of Jingu Temple, is this okay?"

Inspector Higurashi looked at the woods behind him worriedly, but did not dare to disturb the two monks who were performing the "consecration".

……

“Huh…Huh…Huh…This guy runs too fast.”

In the forest, Xia Fan hid under a tree, gasping for breath.

This "Red God" who was sent down from the sky by God seemed to be huge and slow in movement, but one step of his was equivalent to ten steps of an ordinary person, and he could run very fast.

It was also by relying on his body advantage and the dense forest as cover that Xia Fan was able to escape to the present by taking an S-shaped route.

In front of me, a smooth mountain blocked the way.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent tremors came from far away along the ground.

"There's nowhere to escape!"

The building-like figure of "Red God" appeared from the woods.

He carried the tree trunk on his shoulder with one hand, and his pair of huge pupils were fixed on Xia Fan.

"It shouldn't affect other people around here, so let's just wrap it up."

Xia Fan turned around with two swords in his hands, looking stern.

Chapter 132: A Mere Red Devil

2024-07-13

“Sniff…sniff…this is…”

As the distance shortened, the "Red God" sniffed and suddenly drooled like a waterfall from his mouth...

"It's 'divinity'... You have divinity in you... So, whose agent are you?"

"So pure, unprecedented, supreme, divine!!!"

The "Red God" stuck out his long tongue and greedily licked his own horns, eyes, and nostrils.

"Mine, it's mine now!"

Then, he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and rushed towards Xia Fan...

"Don't think about it!"

Aoi Jinguji appeared from the woods, holding a longbow.

"In the name of Amaterasu, I respectfully request the help of the great bodhisattva Hachiman. I would like to borrow the 'Chilai Arrow'!"

She put her index and middle fingers into her mouth, covered with saliva, and wiped them over the longbow with the glow of spiritual power.

"Hachiman's Prayer: Great Demon Shooting!"

Then, Aoi Jinguji quickly drew the bow, pulled the string, and let go.

"Om..."

The clear sound of strings rang out in the woods.

"Oh?"

The "Red God" who was targeted by her stopped and looked at his abdomen in a daze.

The opponent clearly did not shoot any arrows, but there was a huge hole in his abdomen.

"Huh... As expected of the Hachimangu Shrine's sacred weapon, the 'Chilai Arrow' is indeed worthy of its reputation..."

"It just consumes too much spiritual energy. At my level, I can only use it once a day."

After shooting the arrow, Jinguji Aoi was obviously exhausted, and she had to use the longbow to support herself on the ground to barely stand.

This longbow is the sacred weapon of Tahara Hachiman Shrine. The "Chilai Arrow" that is gathered with spiritual energy has the power to severely damage the wild gods. According to legend, the first owner used it to shoot and kill the "Dragon God".

As "supernatural cases" have occurred frequently recently, she used her connections to borrow this bow to go on an "out-of-town tour" at the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, and it was only delivered a few days ago.

"My stomach is empty, and I'm even hungrier..."

The Red God bent down, looked at the big hole in his eyeball abdomen, and looked at the forest behind him...

Then, the flesh in His abdomen squirmed, and the wound quickly healed and recovered as before.

"It's decided. Let's eat the appetizers first! Wahahahahaha!"

He licked his long tongue with resentment, turned towards Jinguji Aoi, and laughed wildly.

"What……"

Because she had been running wildly in the forest and had used up her spiritual energy by using "Delayed Loss", Jinguji Aoi was already physically weak...

Furthermore, the laughter of "Red God" at this moment was filled with a blood-boiling madness, which made her confused for a moment and unable to move.

"You came to me, didn't you? It's not good to be indecisive."

Xia Fan, with his fluttering military robe, white hair and golden eyes, had somehow stood between Jinguji and the "Red God".

He had even dropped the two prop swords and just stood there with his arms folded across his chest.

"Roar! That's right, divinity... the divinity above all else... delicious faith..."

"They are all from the Red God!"

After he reminded him, the "Red God" suddenly realized, and his mouth split open to both sides, stretching all the way to his ears...

"Xia Jun, get out of the way!"

In the panicked eyes of Jinguji Aoi, the "huge mouth of the abyss" covered with fine teeth shrank down towards Xia Fan...

"It seems that I have slept for too long..."

The black part of Xia Fan's pupil spread, completely engulfing the white of his eye.

"Even a mere red ghost dares to call himself a god?"

An evil smile appeared on his lips, and he didn't even look at the "Red God" who was overwhelming him.

God of Heaven and God's descent.

"This aura...you...you are...no...impossible..."

"Red God" seemed to recognize something and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Your filthy mouth is not qualified to utter my divine taboo."

"Kneel down..."

Xia Fan murmured to himself, and the Red God froze, his two-story-tall body falling heavily to his knees.

"Then die."

Then, the huge body of the "Red God" shattered like a balloon.

[Faith value -999...Current accumulated faith value 6940]

"Let your feeble divinity be the beginning of my return to the war of faith."

Blood and flesh were falling all over the sky like rain. Xia Fan was in the middle of it, with a mass of red blood drops appearing on his palm, wriggling madly and struggling to escape.

"Following the oracle and conquering the heretics, you are finally on the right path."

After crushing the drop of blood, "Xia Fan" nodded with satisfaction. The blackness in his pupils dissipated and his eyes became clear again.

[You have completed the oracle: conquer the 'Red God' and eliminate heresy to prove your divine power. God grants you the blessing of being naked.]

[Naked: Apart from this body, there is nothing else. The divine nature of the 'Red Ghost' is impure, and it has a weak effect of strengthening the body. ]

"What do you mean by on the right track? It's obvious that this guy came to me on his own..."

"Also, why did you randomly give me this 'sashimi'? What on earth is that?"

After coming back to his senses from the divine descent, Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before he digested the large amount of information in his mind. He could only sigh that the world is unpredictable.

I worked hard to film the drama, tried hard to accumulate faith points, and wrote songs and submitted them seriously...

As a result, the first thing to be completed was the oracle of [Conquering the Red God]?

"By the way... Jinguji, are you okay?"

Xia Fan turned around, trotted forward, and helped Jinguji Aoi up.

"It's okay. I just ran out of energy and was shocked by the evil laugh of the wild god."

Jinguji was physically exhausted and mentally confused, and he hung weakly on Xia Fan.

"I was overthinking it. You deliberately led this wild god into the forest to avoid harming innocent people. You made me worry for a long time."

Aoi Jinguji complained in a low voice, her pale little face resting weakly on Xia Fan's chest.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay."

After a while, she finally smiled with relief.

When Xia Fan called the "emergency number", Jinguji happened to be in the ninth lesson and came along with the team.

When she heard that Xia Fan was chased into the forest by the wild god, she thought that Xia Fan was injured and rushed into the forest in an even more anxious manner.

But when Xia Fan just moved his hands and feet to eliminate the God of Wilderness, was there any sign of being "seriously injured"?

"Hurry, the giant's footprints are going over there!"

"Advisor Xia Fan! Jinguji Temple Miko!"

Amid the sound of dense footsteps, Inspector Higurashi and the detectives armed with live ammunition ran out of the dense forest.

"it's here!"

Xia Fan waved to Rimu.

"Sorry, we are late. Are you two okay?"

"Stay alert and keep an eye out for the giant."

The agents guarded the two men in the center, holding guns and watching their surroundings vigilantly.

They followed the vibrations and overturned trees caused by the "giant" all the way, and naturally knew how terrifying the giant-like wild god was.
