In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Chapter 29 The First Wave Approaches, a Fork in the Road of Destiny

"Why don't these two guys say a word?"

提着滴答粘稠血液的竹剑，璃璃子不解地看着地上两个已经被揍得不成人样，却还在呢喃着“爱”“众生皆苦”之类话语的教众。

After the beating, her hands were numb.

But it seemed to have no effect on them at all, and they couldn't get any useful information out of them.

"——The reason why cultists are cultists is because most of them have abnormal brains."

The voice without any emotion approached quickly, causing the two believers to tremble subconsciously and stop their constantly moving mouths.

When they saw the living Nanjo Aimi walking towards them, they stopped muttering and their eyes suddenly became clear.

"It seems I'm quite famous." Nanjo Aimi curled her lips, then glanced at Lilizi: "Too gentle, you still want to get information out of them like this?"

The corner of Lilizi's mouth twitched, but she was speechless.

There was something wrong with her fighting this time, but there was nothing she could do. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't defeat the mentally ill followers.

"I heard you ran into these two cultists by chance?" Nanjo Aimi snapped his fingers, and the Rugui, who had just cleaned up the corpse of the Flying Head Barbarian in the distance, floated over. "Well done, but too reckless."

Ru Gui was suspended in the air, staring excitedly at the two silent followers with an impatient look in his eyes.

Just as Lilizi was about to retort, Uesugi Tetsu interrupted in time: "I'm sure."

Nanjo Aimi paused subtly and nodded: "That's good."

"Next, I will teach you two a lesson."

Facing the scrutiny of Uesugi Tetsu and the other man, Nanjo Aimi said calmly, "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself."

At some point, the exits on both sides of the alley had been covered by light rain, temporarily isolating the alley from reality.

Having completed this difficult task, Hiyabo floated over staggeringly and quickly dived into Rugui's white clothes.

Nanjo Aimi looked down at the two silently trembling followers with a dull look, like a chef staring at two ugly, wriggling lumps of meat.

"Don't look away, watch carefully."

she says.

——Thirty minutes later.

"They're selecting ordinary people with high emotional fluctuations within the Arakawa District and directly enticing them to join the club or planting seeds. It's the same rhetoric, but the scope and number are getting bigger and bigger."

"But I was lucky enough to find out the location of another den."

Nanjo Aimi casually threw two white gloves covered with tiny pieces of tissue on the ground and stretched.

However, Uesugi Tetsu was not in the mood to appreciate the graceful curves at this moment. He suppressed the churning feeling in his stomach and looked at Ririko beside him.

He asked, "Want to eat dinner?"

Lilizi's face turned pale and she took a deep breath: "Eat it, why not eat the free dinner?"

Nanjo Aimi smiled with satisfaction and clapped her hands: "Okay, enough flirting. I didn't interrogate them for so long just to see this."

Uesugi Tetsu: "So, Nanjo-san, you want to tell us that Arakawa District is becoming increasingly dangerous these days, and you want us to move somewhere else?"

"Bingo! Uesugi-san, you are really smart!" Nanjo Aimi smiled and rubbed Uesugi Tetsu's hair.

But the next moment, her tone became serious.

"It's true that the Arakawa District will be very dangerous during this period, but I have already eliminated more than half of the Friendship Club's branches and members, and also attracted most of their attention to me."

Nanjo Ai raised a finger. "But with the 'first wave' approaching, no one can say for sure whether the other districts, currently peaceful, are truly safe."

She spread her hands and said, "Stay and face known dangers, or leave and face unknown challenges. The decision is in your hands."

The first wave.

This was not the first time that Uesugi Tetsu had heard this word.

He looked at Nanjo Aimi, wanting an answer.

Lilizi frowned. She had come across too many bizarre things today. This was much more outrageous than just some ghost stories about foxes, dogs and raccoons coming true.

Nanjo Aimi didn't hide it any further and replied, "Just think of it as the demons and strange stories from historical legends invading reality en masse. The fact that many people on Twitter have taken photos of demons and monsters before is one of the omens."

Uesugi Tetsu thought that White Prajna's invasion of reality was indeed a fact, but he didn't expect that this was not a survivor bias, but really a huge number of individual cases.

Perhaps in the future, the story of killing Fang Xiangshi with ten thousand people may really become a reality, and even the entire Edo Castle may appear with it.

Thinking of the Laughing Prajna who had not yet been upgraded, and the three or two skills in his hands that were just beginning, Uesugi Che's palms began to sweat, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Now, apart from the disposable Nanjo dolls and Ghost Daddy, he has almost no means to resist two-star and above monsters.

——Looking at Nanjo Aimi's Shikigami, Nyuuki has two and a half stars on his head, and the seemingly weak Hiyaban also has one and a half stars, which is higher than the seriously injured Bai Bannyo's level. The abilities of the two are even complementary.

It seems that we need to speed up the strategy after Xiao Prajna is upgraded and the one-star card pool is opened.

Uesugi Che glanced at the remaining time - the upgrade would be completed by the early morning of the day after tomorrow. By then, he could use the accumulated soul ashes to perform ten consecutive draws to significantly increase his strength.

"The wave may arrive in half a month, or perhaps within the next few days."

After conveying a terrifying amount of information in just two sentences, Nanjo Aimi had no intention of explaining in detail.

She smoked a cigarette, with dark circles under her eyes, and said, "I have to go work overtime. If I sweat more now, I will bleed less in two days. You two can take care of yourselves."

"If you have anything to say, just call me and tell me clearly. I will be there as soon as possible."

After the explanation, the rain curtains on both sides of the alley disappeared. Nanjo Aishi quickly left, leaving behind a clean alley and Uesugi Tetsu who looked a little at a loss.

After a moment of silence, Uesugi Tetsu asked, "Want to eat dinner?"

Lilizi's stomach made a gurgling sound, and she nodded slowly: "Eat it, why not eat the free dinner?"

After reaching a unanimous decision, the two walked out of the alley in silence, which might have become a key turning point in their lives.

When I came to the street, the people walking around were no different from before.

Students were gossiping, pushing and playing with each other, office workers were hurrying home from get off work, and old people could be seen everywhere walking in groups of two or three, slowly.

Next to my ears is the silent sound of car engines turning. In Japan, a society where no one wants to cause trouble to others, the shrill sound of horns is almost inaudible.

Everything was no different from an ordinary evening.

At this moment, the sharp cry of crows suddenly came from the electric pole above head. A large flock of crows flapped their wings and flew away in all directions, covering the setting sun like a sudden dark cloud.

As Uesugi Tetsu looked at this scene, he remembered that the time when the sun sets is called the Demonic Hour in Japan, and the time after that is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

He felt like he was walking into a night parade of one hundred demons.

Chapter 30 Love Parting

But there are no Hyakki in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.

Living in groups is the nature of the weak. Truly ferocious predators have vast territories, and outsiders who enter will have to pay a price.

Yuta Niijima is such a predator. He once broke into the headquarters of another group alone and killed dozens of people. After that night, the Yakuza in Arakawa District would be silent as soon as his name was mentioned.

It is said that it was that night that the enemy's blood was spilled all over his chest with a tiger tattoo, so as the leader of the Niijima Group, he got the nickname "Blood Tiger".

But even such a ferocious predator was now respectful... one could even say in awe, bowing down to the woman who was lying wantonly on his beloved desk.

——Love and separation.

This is what the monster on the table calls itself.

Maybe she looks like an extremely beautiful woman now, but at first glance she doesn't look like a human, a demon, or even a monster.

Yuta Niijima knew that what he saw was just what Aibieli wanted him to see.

"——Niijima, do you know?"

Aibieli's chuckle echoed in the Niijima Group's office: "Everyone will grow."

“If you give someone warm hope and beautiful love for a long time, and then at a certain moment, let it all be destroyed.”

Aibieli, with her long white hair, turned her head and gazed quietly at the tall and strong Yuta Niijima with compassion in her eyes: "At that moment, all the beauty will be shattered and turned into the pain of separation. This is where people grow up."

Love and separation sigh softly: "Thus all living things suffer."

She sat up and clasped her hands together devoutly: "I have come here to save all living beings from suffering."

Yuta Niijima's scalp tingled after hearing this. He found that even though he was a ruthless killer, he could not fully understand the thought process of this monster.

He had clearly instructed before that anyone who stood in his way would be killed, and that all team members were under mental control, but now he was talking about saving all living beings with a compassionate look on his face.

——If it weren’t for the desire to obtain the power of the legendary evil spirit, he wouldn’t have been able to stay in front of this monster for even a second.

"Sir, another branch of the club was destroyed by Nanjo Aimi this morning, and all the believers and followers were killed. Now there are only four branches left in the entire Arakawa District."

He lowered his head, ready to be furious at Aibieli.

Because that's who he is.

But what came was the joyful laughter of love and separation.

"Niijima, this is a good thing. You should be happy that so many friends are heading to a paradise where there is no suffering and where there is love."

Aibieli said: "If Nanjo Aishi likes to do this, then let her continue. I also want to know how many people's deaths it will take to reveal the other side of her heart."

Fuck Elysium.

Yuta Niijima thought that if he could win, he would definitely draw his sword and chop the woman in half on the spot. It was a shame that he actually changed the name of his Niijima Group into some kind of friendship club.

But this monster... perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a ghost. It can kill dozens of people from a distance in just a moment. This kind of ghost power is simply incomprehensible to Yuta Niijima.

Moreover, it seems that as time goes by, the power of this monster becomes stronger and stronger...

"Niijima, are you thinking about me?"

Yuta Niijima's thoughts came to a sudden halt.

At this moment, he even felt that he was about to turn into a pool of unconscious liquid - that was the way people who had previously defied love and separation died.

Before the terrified Niijima could even apologize, he felt a pair of warm hands helping him up. In front of him, Aibieli said with a smile, "I can understand what you're thinking—yes, I'm indeed much stronger than I was at the beginning."

"Whether it's joy, sadness, or fear... the more dramatic the changes in a person's emotions, the faster I can grow." At this point, Aibieli looked at him meaningfully, "That's why many people are most delicious at the moment of death."

Yuta Niijima felt like he was falling into an icy cave, and was even a little desperate.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~"

Aibieli gently patted Yuta Niijima's palm.

Then he felt the fear and anxiety in his heart quickly subside, and was replaced by a ferocious desire for destruction and bloodthirsty impulse.

"That's right."

After clapping his hands, Aibieli squatted down and looked at Yuta Niijima expectantly: "You probably have something else to say, so hurry up and say it now."

"Yes."

The blood tiger bowed its head loyally, retracting its fangs before the eyes of its only master. "The Ouija board I sent a few days ago has been confirmed to be effective. The seal is loose, but not complete."

"And then?" Aibieli asked with eyes wide open, "What's your 'but'?"

Niijima Yuta paused for two seconds before saying, "But the Ouija board was also confiscated by Nanjo Aimi."

Nanjo Aimi, is it Nanjo Aimi again?

He looks like a very boring person, but he can do so many interesting things.

How dazzling and delicious would she be when she was emotionally broken and completely broken?

Love can't wait to leave.

In comparison, although the Ouija board could allow her to further improve her strength at the first moment of the first wave, restoring her from "evil ghost" to "ghost god", it seemed not so important.

"in addition……"

"Please wait a moment."

Aibieli smiled and raised his hand, then under Xindao's strange gaze, he reached out and grabbed a translucent ghost with a paper umbrella and a gentle and sad face from somewhere.

"It's Rain Girl. I wonder how you felt after overcoming countless hardships to reach the present world, only to suddenly step into death just before seeing your husband."

As he said that, Aibieli put the anxiously begging Rain Girl into his mouth and chewed her into pieces in a few bites.

As she savored the sad cries that gradually faded away in her body, Aibielilu couldn't help but reveal an intoxicated look.

Niijima ignored it and continued, "Besides that, there were two other students who survived after coming into contact with the Ouija board."
