In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

I found that I was still born in a small thatched house, but the interior furnishings had changed a little.

In addition to the common old tatami, straw piles and low tables, there were actually three or two broken chairs leaning against the wall.

"This map is at least from the Meiji period."

Uesugi Che pondered, what he saw and heard before him had confirmed that different eras did exist simultaneously in the ordinary world.

Although chairs were introduced to Japan from the Tang Dynasty as early as the Nara period, they actually became popular among ordinary people after the Meiji period when Western culture invaded Japan.

Just don't use American Iai for the monsters here...

With this thought in mind, Uesugi Tetsu began to search the shrine.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Not long after, Uesugi Tetsu lit up the shrine.

His eyes lit up.

[You have lit up the shrine of Arakawa's mysterious village.]

[Currently unlocked area: Arakawa Haunted Village (1 star)]

Chapter 13 Three people become tigers

[Currently unlocked area: Arakawa Haunted Village (1 star)]

[Main Mission 80: Explore the Ghost Village at least 0%, Current Exploration Degree: %]

[Main Mission 2: Exorcise the severely injured Bai Banruo from the One-Star Ghost Story.]

[Side Quest 1: The Damage of the Ksitigarbha Statue - When did the Ksitigarbha statue enshrined in the south of the village become damaged?]

[Side Quest 2: White Scarecrow - In a field eroded by chemical wastewater, a scarecrow sways in the wind.]

One-star map.

It turned out to be a one-star map that was almost the same level as his current level.

Uesugi Che took a deep breath and immediately found that the pungent smell of sulfur in the air became pleasant.

The main task was just to exorcise a one-star ghost story. You should know that the Edo Castle on the other side required him to kill a ghost warrior who had achieved the achievement of killing ten thousand people.

In that case, aren't most of the monsters in this spooky village just half-star or even sporadic small Karami demons?

Now there are walking soul ashes everywhere, just enough to save up ten consecutive draws for the one-star card pool that will open in two days.

Uesugi Che rubbed his hands excitedly and took out the rotten axe he had drawn earlier.

Although this axe is completely inferior to the katana and tachi of the wandering samurai in Edo Castle, and its length is not ideal, it is still very convenient to use to defeat weaklings, which is better than having no weapon at all.

Also, the "White Prajna" in the main quest is the super-evolved state of my "Laughing Prajna", and I don't know if there will be any extra rewards after defeating the other party.

Without thinking any more, Uesugi Che took out the walking token and hung it around his waist.

This time he did not open the door first, but used an axe to chisel a small hole in the bottom of the house, and then quietly rolled the Hundred-Eyed Demon's eyeball out.

Accompanied by a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, the eyeballs of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost flew up silently and circled around the thatched hut.

Uesugi Che's eyes narrowed as he discovered a humanoid creature lying on the ground at the door of the thatched hut.

It was wearing a straw raincoat and looked very much like a farmer, but it was definitely not a human.

He sneered, what a guy, he was waiting for him here.

If I walk out without precaution because this is a one-star map, there is a high probability that I will step on this thing and be killed again.

Uesugi Che retracted his Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes, walked quietly to the back of the door, and silently recalled the location of the humanoid creature's head.

He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, activated the Qi-combining technique, and thrust out with all his might!

Thrust!

The rusty tip of the blade penetrated the wooden board unhindered. The feel of the axe told Uesugi Tetsu that the blade must have been deeply nailed into the humanoid's skull.

But no kill prompt popped up.

Such strong vitality?

"Roar...roar..."

A creepy hoarse roar began to sound slowly outside the door. Uesugi Che frowned slightly, and with his black left hand, he exerted force and tore the door of the thatched hut apart.

The face of Xiao Prajna suddenly popped out from the room and gave a sinister smile to the demon who was struggling with his mouth open.

Fear smiles!

The roar stopped abruptly, and Uesugi Tetsu took advantage of this gap to draw his sword, cutting off its neck without hesitation, and then stabbed the blade into its heart and stirred it violently.

Dark red blood spurted out and splashed onto the cold Prajna mask.

You killed the half-star resentment "Polluted Strong Farmer" and gained 30 soul ash.

This monster blocking the door is quite difficult to kill. I stabbed it in the head with a sneak attack and it still survived.

However, the soul ashes that exploded were quite a lot, equivalent to getting three portions of soul-soothing incense ashes.

Without wiping the bloody blade, Uesugi Che randomly chose a direction and began to explore the mysterious village of Arakawa, following the thatched houses one by one.

With an ultra-wide field of view of 270°, unless a demon in the thatched hut suddenly tears open the wall to attack, Uesugi Che is equivalent to having a full-map vision, and any danger can be discovered in advance.

The strange village of Arakawa was unusually quiet, but in contrast, there was a rumbling sound coming from outside the village.

Uesugi Tetsu knew what that sound was. In his previous life, whenever he passed by a chemical plant or a construction site on his way to school, there would often be such a loud noise there.

"But the density of this monster is a bit low."

After walking for more than ten minutes, Uesugi Tetsu finally encountered the second contaminated farmer.

The farmer's strength was no match for the wandering samurai. Uesugi Tetsu, who was skilled in backstab techniques, beheaded him with just a few strikes, causing his soul to explode into ashes.

You killed the wandering soul "The Polluted Farmer" and obtained 5 soul ash.

5 Soul Ashes... All I can say is that no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat.

The more he walked, the more certain Uesugi Tetsu was that the mysterious village of Arakawa dated back to around the Meiji period, because the advanced farm tools occasionally placed on the roadside did not look like something the Japanese could make.

"If that's the case, then there are still foreigners with guns standing over there in the factory, right?"

Uesugi Che was secretly complaining, but suddenly he saw three farmers wearing straw hats and raincoats, wandering towards the distance, holding broken farm tools in their hands, at a nearby intersection.

He squinted at the tops of their heads, and three [Contaminated Strong Farmers] jumped out at the same time.

Uesugi Toru's face lit up with joy, and he was ready to chop an axe.

Compared with ordinary farmers, strong farmers are just a little stronger and harder to kill. It would be difficult to deal with three of them together.

But it's just difficult.

These 90 soul ashes cannot be let go.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Che quickly approached without any intention of concealing his movements.

For him, it didn't matter even if he died here, as long as these three farmers died before him, he would have made a profit.

"Brother, I'm here!"

Uesugi Tetsu shouted loudly, instantly attracting the attention of the three strong farmers.

"Ho! Ho ho!"

After seeing the Western-style school uniform on Uesugi Tetsu, the three farmers rushed towards him like crazy as if they had been greatly stimulated.

"Well done!"

Uesugi Tetsu tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his mouth corners and released all the energy in his body in one breath.

Xiao Banruo's already strong body climbed to another level, the dark muscles on his arms bulged, and Uesugi Che, who was already running wildly, even let out bursts of roars.

Before the three slightly clumsy and sturdy farmers could react, Uesugi Che rushed into them like a black shadow, and used the force of running to dig the axe deeply into the neck of the farmer in the middle.

Wait, why does it feel a little wrong this time?

Uesugi Che, who didn't even pull out his axe, felt something was wrong, and then he discovered that the three sturdy farmers had the same blood-red affix on their heads.

[Three people make a tiger: When the number of farmers within a certain range increases, the physical strength of all farmers will be improved. Current number: 3]

Uesugi Che was not upset, he just raised his face and put on an emotionless smile.

At the moment when the three farmers were forcibly controlled, Uesugi Tetsu pressed the farmer in front of him to the ground, and then used all his strength to cut off the neck which was tougher than a tree trunk.

Before he could smash his head, the attack from behind had already come down heavily.

Looking down at the tip of the sickle that pierced through his chest, Uesugi Che vomited blood, trembling as he crushed his head, and gave up on the axe that was no longer usable at close range.

The green-faced and fang-toothed Smiling Prajna opened his mouth and pounced towards the farmer closest to him with a grim smile.

"Die to me!"

Chapter 14 Factory Workers' Safety Helmets

On the dim lawn, Uesugi Tetsu sat up, covering his head with his hands, trembling slightly.

There was suddenly an extra head on my neck, which made my body feel a little uncomfortable.

Uesugi Toru is probably dead.

However, before being smashed to pieces, he used his deathrattle to take away two sturdy farmers, gaining a full 60 soul ash points, which was already a win.

As for why not harvest 90 soul ash points?

——A powerful iron hoe came down from behind, directly causing the head of Uesugi Tetsu that was biting on the neck of another farmer to explode, leaving him still sitting there with an aftertaste.

"It hurts. It really fucking hurts."

Uesugi Che carefully touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was still the original one he used and 99% new.

He was afraid that the thing on top would suddenly explode.

However, after this death, his soul ash reserves have reached 135 points, which is enough for him to do ten consecutive draws.

Not only that.

[You have experienced combat, and your proficiency in the Qi He Jutsu fragments has increased by +6!]

[You have experienced combat, your natural rational flow proficiency +3! ]

After the final desperate battle with the three farmers, the proficiency of the two skills also increased a lot. It can be said that it was a fruitful harvest.

Now the upgrade progress of Xiao Banruo has reached 20%. In less than a day, Uesugi Tetsu feels that his future has become a prosperous scene.

"Let's draw a card first."

After a simple single draw, Uesugi Che happily obtained the Soul-Resting Incense Ash +1.

However, he originally came here for the soul-resting incense ash, but now this thing has become a consumable for practicing the natural rational flow.

As for why it cannot be used when practicing Qihejutsu, Uesugi Tetsu is not clear about the principle. He can only think that the fragments of Qihejutsu are too low-level and do not meet the conditions for use.

The next resuscitation attempt will not resume until ten hours later.

Uesugi Tetsu decided to go home for a meal first, and then sleep soundly until he woke up naturally.

……

"Dad, I'm back."

After greeting his father who was still watching the game, Uesugi Che thought to himself that it was a good thing that the other party was not a fan of his hometown team, otherwise he would not be able to watch the game so quietly. Hong Wen would have warned him long ago.

Although he didn't get a reply from his father, Uesugi Tetsu didn't care. He just took out a pork chop bento box that cost a thousand yen from the convenience store and started to gobble it up.

After dinner, Uesugi Tetsu took out the Nanjo doll from his schoolbag and hung it at the door.

Staring at the rag doll with a slightly exaggerated expression, Uesugi Che was a little dazed.

Normally, he wouldn't remember such a small thing so clearly. Why did he remember to take the doll out of his schoolbag and hang it up today?

"strangeness……"

Uesugi Che looked at the doll for a few more seconds. Was it the mental influence it exerted on him?

Faced with this unusual situation, Uesugi Tetsu didn't think about figuring it out alone, but directly tapped Nanjo Aimi twice on the line.

[Tsukisana-chan: Nanjo-nee, will the doll you gave me have a mental influence on me?]
