In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

A heavy silver-black command arrow lay quietly in his palm.

Compared to the previous one that was covered with dust and rust, the current walking token can be said to be brand new from the factory.

The front of the command arrow was engraved with the word "walk" in clear and flowing calligraphy. Turning it over, the back was engraved with a large number of fine and strange patterns that Uesugi Che could not recognize.

【Walking Command Arrow (Special Item)】

[Effect: None]

[——A symbol of identity for walking in the world, holding the command arrow means walking! ]

Holding the command arrow means walking?

And this hand?

It seems that the status of this person who has become an ordinary person has been greatly improved.

Uesugi Che rubbed the smooth surface of the walking command arrow with his fingertips. Instead of waiting for the reward prompt, he received a task prompt.

[——Walking in the World, please quickly find the "Walking Gathering Token" to enter the "Walking Gathering" and light up your own shrine.]

It turns out that it is best to light up the walking rally token and enter after the walking identity is upgraded.

Uesugi Che understood, no wonder the divine fortune stick had given Sueyoshi the number before.

It’s better to do it now than to wait for a good day. The cooling of the divine fortune stick is over, so I will shake the fortune stick again to see if it is a good time to enter the walking rally.

Taking out the divine fortune stick from the storage backpack, Uesugi Che closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and began to shake the fortune stick.

In less than two seconds, a slender divine fortune slipped out from the small round opening of the fortune stick tube.

Uesugi Tetsu stopped and found that this time it took much less time than before.

He bent down to pick up the divine fortune stick that had fallen to the ground, turned it over, and saw the bright red word "Ji" (good luck) written on it.

【God's Lotus Lucky】

【——If you don’t enter now, when will you?】

Uesugi Tetsu smiled. He put away the divine fortune stick tube and the fortune sticks and took out the round cake-like [Walking Rally Token].

A prompt immediately popped up in front of his eyes.

[Do you want to consume 100 soul ash points to permanently light up this rally token? ]

"Yes."

After 100 soul ashes were consumed, the rally token in Uesugi Che's hand began to vibrate slightly as if it had been enlightened.

Fine lines of light bloomed from the center of the rally token in all directions.

In a short while, the assembly token transformed from a simple round cake that looked like stone into a bronze mirror engraved with exquisite patterns.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up - the mirror was surrounded by densely packed ghosts and monsters, patterns of humans, demons, ghosts and gods were all engraved on it, and the light patterns were winding and encompassing everything.

After staring at the rally token in his hand for a while, Uesugi Che silently inputted spiritual power into it.

After about five seconds, Uesugi Che felt dizzy and his vision went dark again.

When Uesugi Che opened his eyes again, a blood-red prompt suddenly came into view, making his originally confused thoughts instantly clear.

[Dear Changshi Walker, you have entered the "Lost Walker Gathering". Please be careful with your words and actions, and light up your shrine as soon as possible.]

Uesugi Tetsu took a deep breath silently and found himself sitting at the top of a series of circular steps.

He quickly looked around.

Towering pillars with a diameter of up to ten meters rose from the ground on both sides of him, but most of them were broken into pieces, leaving only a few dozen meters or even several meters in height.

Looking down, you can see hundreds of steps extending all the way to the ground, which is the flat ground in the center, but many of the steps are covered with bloodstains of various colors.

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes and seemed to see a blurry, motionless figure in the middle of the plain.

The prefix "lost" was suddenly added before the walking rally, which always feels a bit bad.

Uesugi Che once again input spiritual power into the rally token in his hand, wanting to leave first before making any plans.

But a blood-red prompt popped up again.

[It is currently impossible to leave the "Lost Walking Rally"! ]

Uesugi Che pondered for a moment, stood up and wanted to explore the surroundings and collect information first.

But before he could take two steps, two blood-red prompts popped up in front of him again.

[Dear Changshi Xingzhe, please light up your shrine as soon as possible! ]

【Please light up your shrine as soon as possible! 】

At the same time, as if some terrifying existence was awakened, the breath that made Uesugi Tetsu almost breathless gradually spread to the square of the walking rally.

Chapter 128: The mythical god of misfortune, how could it be you!? (6k)

Something is awakening in the vast square where the walking assembly is taking place.

Uesugi Tetsu's scalp tingled slightly. Even though he saw nothing and heard nothing, his intuition... or perhaps it was his biological instinct that warned him.

Was it because the fluctuation of spiritual power he had just input into the assembly token was transmitted?

Or was it because his arrival disrupted some of the existing rules of the walking rally?

Never mind, these are not important for now.

The important thing now is to find the shrine quickly and light it up.

Uesugi Che was breathing with some difficulty. As time passed, he could clearly feel his neck becoming tighter and tighter.

——Just the sign of waking up can make him breathless, what will happen if he wakes up completely?

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils quickly scanned every inch of the wall and ground in his field of vision, but he could only see one dim and dilapidated shrine after another.

Even if he touched it with his fingers, it had no effect at all.

"Is this what the divine fortune-telling box calls 'lucky'?"

As if breaking through some shackles, a suffocating breath came from the center of the square. Uesugi Che trembled violently and fell to his knees under the pressure of this terrifying breath.

boom!

Uesugi Tetsu's knees fell, crushing the stone bricks beneath his feet into pieces and flipping them over.

Then, through the smoke and dust, he saw the dark shrine with a small corner protruding from the broken stone.

Uesugi Che's face twitched slightly, and the corona energy in his body roared. He touched the corner of the shrine that was close to him with his fingers at the fastest speed.

You have lit up the shrine of the lost walking congregation.

A thick breath of death suddenly lingered behind Uesugi Che, and the breath that had originally made it hard to breathe disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The moment the shrine was lit, the entire walking assembly instantly returned to the peace and silence it had when they first entered.

Uesugi Che lay on the ground and gasped heavily for several times. His eyebrows twitched violently, and he finally understood the meaning of "吉" on the divine fortune.

——It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the shrine, the shrine will automatically come to your door.

"So if I come in when I draw the [Suekichi] fortune, will there be any big problems..."

Uesugi Tetsu had an inexplicable feeling - perhaps dying in a walking rally would not be as costless as dying in the ordinary world.

Although it was an inexplicable premonition, it had never appeared before entering the walking rally.

pat.

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly.

Footsteps?

How could it be footsteps?

Someone came behind me?

But how could there be people in such an empty walking rally...

Uesugi Che was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

——It’s the thing that woke up.

But don't be nervous.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the glowing shrine in the crevice of the stone, and carefully picked it up with both hands.

——Since the bloody prompt no longer appears after lighting up the shrine, and the premonition of death in my heart has also dissipated, it means that there will be no problem.

Uesugi Che held his breath, hugged the shrine and turned to look back.

"Ugh?"

He hadn't expected that the person behind him wasn't some twisted demonic monster, nor had he expected that the entity that had just emanated such a terrifying pressure was actually...

A little girl?

In Uesugi Tetsu's sight, a white-haired girl wearing a snow-white hooded robe, who was not even half his height, hung her head blankly, wondering what she was thinking.

If you look a little more closely, you can see that the girl's exposed skin is covered with wriggling scarlet spells.

Those spells flowed and surged on the girl's body as if they had life, ferocious and terrifying.

It seemed that it was because of the dim light from the shrine, or as if a lot of time had passed, the girl's wooden expression slowly disappeared, and her eyes, which were originally like a pool of stagnant water, finally became lively.

She raised her head and stared at Uesugi Tetsu - to be precise, at the shrine that Uesugi Tetsu was holding and the walking token on his waist.

Uesugi Che stood where he was, not daring to make a sound or move.

Although the breath that was enough to kill a person was no longer there, his intuition was certain that the white-haired girl in front of him was the owner of that breath.

The girl, maybe it’s just “His” body and appearance.

After a long time, a glimmer appeared in the girl's eyes.

She stuttered and said hoarsely, "Chang... Chang Shixing... Xingxing, hello."

"I, I am... the God of Misfortune."

The moment he heard these three words, Uesugi Che forgot to breathe, and then he saw a dark shape pop up above the girl's head.

——[The God of Disaster (???)].

Uesugi Tetsu was racking his brains with questions, but outwardly he replied expressionlessly, "Hello."

"What year is it now?"

After just two sentences, Huo Jinshen's language ability seemed to have recovered a lot.

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment and said, "2024 AD."

As for what AD is and how many years each of the previous historical eras corresponds to, he plans to explain it bit by bit.

But unexpectedly, Huojinshen seemed to be familiar with the Gregorian calendar.

"2024."

Huo Jinshen repeated the number and lowered his eyes silently.

It turns out that so much time has passed.

"Hello, long-lost Changshi Xing."

Huo Jinshen bowed slightly to him and said, "I apologize for what happened just now. During my long sleep, my self and consciousness were almost worn away to nothingness..."

She reached out and took up the shrine from Uesugi Tetsu's arms.

"Thankfully, you lit the shrine in time, bringing me back at the critical moment. If you had been even a moment slower, perhaps the concept of [Huojin God] would have vanished into thin air."

No wonder the prompt told me to light up the shrine quickly.

The corner of Uesugi Che's mouth twitched slightly. If this Huojin God with three question marks on his head became mentally demented and went crazy, then the map of this walking rally would be useless.

"Changshi Walk, please follow me."

Huo Jin Shen supported the shrine with both hands and walked towards the long staircase. "I believe you have many doubts in your mind at this moment. Let us talk about the rest while we walk."

Uesugi Tetsu followed behind her.

After a brief silence, Huo Jin Shen slowly spoke, "The Walking Gathering is a special place where many Walking people and the Eternal Walkers gather to communicate, take a break, or receive orders from the great Eternal Lord."

"My mission is to accurately and faithfully convey the orders of that master to the walkers, to maintain order in the walkers' gathering, and to protect this place from external influence and destruction."
