In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself, "So you're waiting for me here."

If he had been more steady and delayed for three to five minutes, he might have been hit to death by the foreman with a crowbar.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of his upper body exploding.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the foreman who was obviously exhausted after swinging the stick, and seized this fleeting opportunity to step forward immediately.

As he advanced, he also roared, "I will be the winner!"

The natural Rishin-ryu thrusting technique that Ririkko had demonstrated before flashed quickly through Uesugi Tetsu's mind at this moment.

He instinctively held out the hatchet.

The rusty blade cut through the wound with exquisite precision, piercing the heart with ease.

The foreman's originally powerful aura suddenly stagnated and dissipated like clouds and mist.

After Uesugi Tetsu pulled back the blade, the foreman fell to the ground with a thud.

The outcome has been decided.

In the silence, the foreman's weak voice came out with difficulty.

"Mr. Prajna..."

He turned sideways with all his strength, looking at the gray sky: "That factory..."

The foreman's eyes flashed with a passing phantom. It was the golden rice fields that once covered the mountains of Arakawa Village, and the people who worked and laughed in the fields.

It’s a pity that the past times have burst and dissipated like bubbles.

He closed his eyes and whispered softly, "Please get rid of that factory that brought filth and oppression."

Uesugi Tetsu looked down at him, his eyes dark.

Even if the foreman didn't say anything, he would never let go of the factory where so many demons gathered.

But after thinking about it, Uesugi Tetsu nodded gently and agreed: "I promise you."

Then the foreman smiled happily, feeling relieved.

"Thanks……"

The foreman said.

The "Broken with Jade" affix above his head dissipated bit by bit, until nothing was left.

A prompt appeared in front of Uesugi Tetsu at the right time.

[You killed the half-star obsession "Worker Leader" and obtained 75 soul ash.]

[You have obtained the Foreman's Crowbar (treasure).]

[You have experienced combat, and your proficiency in the Qi He Jutsu fragments has increased by +25!]

[You have experienced battle and gained some experience. Your Natural Reasoning Flow proficiency level has increased by +76!]

Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, staring at the two moons that were gradually becoming brighter, and thought to himself that it was extremely dangerous.

The Smile of Fear was used up at the very beginning, and the Chi was used up at the last two slashes. Even the physical strength was almost gone...

It can be said that this was a completely narrow victory.

It was ridiculous that I thought at that time that I was just half a star, like a strong farmer, and it would only take a few strokes to kill him.

Now it seems that there is a gap between half a star.

I also have to thank the foreman for teaching me a lesson.

After taking a breath for a while, Uesugi Che remembered to carefully check the previous prompt.

There are quite a lot of soul ashes, nothing much to say about this, it really matches the foreman's strength.

However, what Uesugi Che did not expect was that the crowbar on the other party's body was actually exploded.

Foreman's Crowbar

【Quality: Cherish】

[Effect: Abnormally strong, greatly increases damage to all types of objects.]

[——Since I'm the foreman, it makes sense for me to carry a crowbar, right?]

Special weapons can also be said to be props.

Uesugi Che looked at the "extraordinarily strong" effect. No wonder his hatchet was broken into several pieces when they were chopping just now, but the crowbar was still intact.

Fortunately, new weapons will arrive as soon as the foreman dies, and the tattered hatchet will just roll into the warehouse and collect dust.

In addition, his proficiency in the natural rational flow increased so much suddenly, almost comparable to practicing sword twice with the ashes of soul-soothing incense.

"Battle is indeed the fast track to becoming stronger..."

It’s a pity that it’s difficult for Uesugi Che to encounter such a evenly matched battle. Either he kills the opponent instantly, or he is killed instantly by the opponent. There is no gaming experience at all.

After sitting on the ground for a while to recover some strength, Uesugi Che stood up and just happened to see that there seemed to be something in the withered farmland not far away.

He looked closely and found that it was actually a twisting white shadow.

Chapter 23 Side Quests Twist and Turn

In the withered and abandoned farmland, the twisting and turning sad white phantom seemed to have some strange magic, making it difficult for Uesugi Che to look away after taking a look.

The mask of Laughing Prajna twitched for a moment, but the next moment, the face that originally looked intimidating without anger revealed a strange smile.

A hoarse and distorted voice came out uncontrollably from the depths of Uesugi Tetsu's throat:

"Twist this way...twist that way..."

Although Uesugi Che felt very nauseous, his smile became even brighter, and his originally tired body seemed to be full of energy as he stood up straight.

Then, following the pale phantom in the farmland...

twist and turn.

……

On the lawn, Uesugi Che suddenly opened his eyes and made a retching sound in extreme disgust.

"What the hell……"

Until this moment, Uesugi Tetsu's mind still lingered with the extremely strange and twisted white shadow, as well as the feeling that his body was completely out of his control.

After lying on the lawn and resting for a while, Uesugi Tetsu finally managed to regain his normal thoughts.

——This time, he died suddenly on the spot just because he looked at the thing in the farmland for a second longer.

Will it explode if I look at it for one more moment?

This is outrageous.

How many stars does this guy have, one star? Or one and a half stars?

After noting down several features of the distorted white shadow, Uesugi Che took out his mobile phone without hesitation and asked the omnipotent office worker netizen.

[Tsukisa-chan]: I have a friend who saw a white phantom twisting and turning in the fields. It looked like a scarecrow. Is this thing dangerous?

In the office, Nanjo Aimi, who was happily sipping the soda with her feet wrapped in black stockings resting on the desk, couldn't help but spray the soda onto the face of Shizuma Mafuyu, who was working diligently opposite her.

The corners of Shizuma Madoka's mouth twitched. She didn't say anything, but just took two tissues and silently wiped the soda off her face and neck.

——Even if it was only half a day, she had already gotten used to Nanjo Aimi's eccentric appearance.

This young Yin-Yang master is completely different in private from the way he appears in the outside world.

She doesn't look like a workplace elite at all. Instead, she is very similar to her sister who is still in high school - she likes to drink soda in big gulps, eat puffed foods, and often secretly plots against her colleagues with her.

Shizuma Mafuyu sighed inwardly.

I always feel a little disillusioned.

——But Nanjo Aimi believed that there was a reason why she sprayed out soda.

It's only been a few hours, and she just told Uesugi Tetsu to behave himself, so how did she end up provoking another famous ghost story?!

You're so bored, aren't you?

The classic "I have a friend" couldn't fool Nanjo Aimi. She had used this trick countless times before.

but……

Nanjo Aimi was a little confused.

Judging from the perception of the spirit control technique, the doll she gave to Uesugi Tetsu was not hurt yet. If the other party had really been twisted and turned by it, the doll would have attacked long ago.

This kind of special weird story that originated in rural areas will not be very powerful even if it is widely spread and known.

Because this is modern society.

It's just like if the famous ghost story "Miss Mary" was put back a thousand years ago, her strength would be greatly reduced because she didn't have a phone.

[Work to Death]: Your friend will die soon. This is a famous tale called "Twisting," and anyone who sees it will go insane, mad, and then die.

When Uesugi Tetsu saw that all these characteristics matched his response, he thought to himself that it was true.

He saw that after twisting and turning for a few minutes, he had a mental breakdown and died, which was considered a new way to die.

——This thing is so powerful, could it be related to the side quest?

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

Uesugi Tetsu read the task description carefully again and felt that the "twisting and turning" was very likely related to it.

Then the problem is coming.

If he can't even look at the other person for another second, how can he kill the other person?

Uesugi Tetsu told netizens the truth about this issue.

——Nanjo Aimi thinks Uesugi Tetsu has gone crazy.

The creatures that twist and turn in the sparsely populated countryside without running around are considered the most harmless kind of weird stories.

Why would you mess with it if you're crazy?

But as she thought this, Nanjo Aimi threw out a key: "Jingjian, go get the Vajra statue from the safe. When you go there this afternoon..."

Halfway through her words, Nanjo Aimi suddenly realized that what Uesugi Tetsu was asking was "Work to hell", not her, Nanjo Aimi.

If she gives this thing to Uesugi Tetsu, her true identity will be exposed.

So Nanjo Aimi took the key back.

[Work to death]: There is indeed a way, and it is not difficult.

[Yueshajiang]: What are your thoughts, sir?

[Work to Death]: Since seeing it twisting and turning will drive you crazy, why not just chop it to death with your eyes closed?

——Hack to death with eyes closed?

Uesugi Tetsu laughed. Do the office worker netizens think that he is a swordsman with "heart eyes" and "fist eyes"?

But after sitting there in silence for a while, Uesugi Che found that this idea seemed... not impossible?

——Lilizi said that being able to identify the opponent’s position by listening to the sound is the most basic skill for a qualified swordsman.

There seems to be an explanation.

When I see Lilizi this afternoon, I'll ask her.

After thanking the netizen who responded promptly, Uesugi Che wasted no time and entered the mysterious village of Arakawa again.

——The foreman was killed before he had the chance to go to the blacksmith to claim his reward.

A huge water pressure came.

Uesugi Tetsu, who had gradually adapted to the cutscenes, put on his mask without saying a word and went straight to the blacksmith shop.

On the way, he did not forget to test the effectiveness of the foreman's crowbar, a rare quality weapon.

After actual testing, Uesugi Tetsu was pleasantly surprised to find that the effect of the crowbar far exceeded his expectations.

He could break the locked door of an ordinary thatched hut with just a light tap of the crowbar, as if he had a master key.

Even if the thick wooden door was blocked by planks and various furniture, Uesugi Tetsu only needed to swing it with normal force to knock the entire door and the obstruction behind it away.
