In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Tetsu pulled out the brisk and buzzing sound of Kaga Kiyomizu from the other person's eye socket, and stared indifferently at the woman's other eye that was moving with difficulty.

Then he discovered that instead of the desire for life and resentment in the woman's eyes, they were filled with genuine surprise, shock, and joy.

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong.

But judging from Kaga Kiyomitsu's reaction, he must have indeed killed the demon, but the demon is now on his deathbed.

"This... I've found a big surprise." A fragmented voice came from Aibieli's body, "It's a pity that the original body can't share memories with the clone, otherwise I could taste your delicious flavor even faster..."

Doppelgänger.

The one in front of me is actually just a clone.

Uesugi Che was silent, unable to think of any demon or strange story that could both imitate others and split into two.

Then, he saw the white-haired woman in front of him gradually dissipating into mist and introducing herself to him: "Nice to meet you, I'm Aibieli."

"Uesugi-kun, I believe we will meet again..."

As the wind blew across the rooftop, Aibieli's figure and voice disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.

The prompt in front of me popped up at this time.

[You killed the "Love Parting Clone" and gained 100 soul ash.]

Uesugi Tetsu didn't have time to think about it, because he knew that there was probably an Aibieli clone disguised as "Uesugi Tetsu" in front of Ririko.

He had to hurry up.

Chapter 35: Ten million swords swung with all my heart!

But when Uesugi Tetsu rushed to the kendo gym with Kaga Kiyomitsu in a hurry, he only saw Ririkko standing at the door in a new uniform, intact.

Just like that, watching him quietly.

Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask, "Lilizi..."

Lilizi raised her bamboo sword, took a stance and shouted,

"He who comes is stopped!"

Uesugi Tetsu's steps suddenly stopped, and then he heard her say solemnly: "Don't come near me, because I don't know if you are the real Uesugi Tetsu."

Ririko said slowly: "Similarly, I will not approach you. Because I cannot prove that I am Tokugawa Ririko herself."

She said, "I've already seen through Aibieli's disguise once because of a kendo issue, but I can't expect her to make the same mistake again."

These words also made Uesugi Tetsu alert again - yes, why did he think that Aibieli could only split himself once for a short period of time?

If the Lilizi in front of him is the incarnation of Aibieli, then wouldn't he have fallen into a trap!

Lilizi, you are so calm!

But the situation remained at a standstill with the two of them staring at each other.

"You're right." Uesugi Tetsu nodded, and also drew out Kaga Kiyomitsu and pointed it at Ririko in front of him, "But how do we prove that we are ourselves?"

"—Find Nanjo Aimi, or her superior."

Lilizi analyzed: "If even they can't tell whether you and I are real or fake, then I think there's no point in us talking nonsense here."

"rational."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded and immediately took out his cell phone to call Nanjo Aimi.

The first call didn't go through.

Then continue with the second one...

In fact, after seeing Kaga Kiyomitsu held by Uesugi Tetsu and his actions, Ririkos doubts had largely dissipated.

But she didn't dare to gamble, she didn't dare to gamble whether the person in front of her was Uesugi Che or Ai Bieli who was more carefully disguised.

That’s right, just when Toru Uesugi was called to the rooftop by the fake Ririkko, Ririkko, who had just finished taking a shower, also met the fake Toru Uesugi at the kendo hall.

Then, after the fake Uesugi Tetsu picked up the bamboo sword and swung the first sword, Riliko saw through Aibieli's disguise and discovered that this was not Uesugi Tetsu himself.

Regarding Ai Bidi, who was full of doubts, Lilizi responded like this:

"—Do you think that the ten million swords I've wielded in my life were all in vain?"

Tokugawa Ririko, only eighteen years old, had practiced swordsmanship for fifteen years and had swung her sword more than ten million times in her career. At the age of four, her mind was as calm as still water, at the age of eight, she became one with the sword, and at the age of eighteen, she had a clear understanding of the sword.

When other children were clamoring for toys and playing with their friends, she was swinging her sword alone; when other children were going to school obediently, she was swinging her sword alone; when other girls were falling in love for the first time, she was still swinging her sword alone.

It can be said that Ririko spent her entire life with the sword.

Because of this, the sword swung by Aibieli seemed as ridiculous as a clown's trick in her eyes.

“—I dialed.”

Uesugi Tetsu's voice was heard, and someone finally answered the fifth call.

他点开免提，南条爱实那充满起床气的怒吼声顿时就冲了出来：“小崽子你又惹什么祸了！要没事打这么多电话看我把不把你屁股揍开花就完事了！”

It seems that the resentment of office workers being woken up during their sleep is not ordinary...

After seeing Lilizi nod, Uesugi Tetsu said: "Nanjo sister, Lilizi and I met Aibieli's clone at school. Now we can't be sure whether the other party is the real one."

When these words were spoken, the caller on the other end seemed to have paused and suddenly became quiet.

"Hello? Hello? Nanjo-san? Are you still there?"

The next moment, Nanjo Aimi's extremely serious voice came out:

"—Stand still! Don't go anywhere, I'll be there in twenty minutes!"

beep...

The call was hung up.

Uesugi Tetsu spread his hands and temporarily put away his sword: "Let's keep our distance for now and wait."

Seventeen minutes later.

Nanjo Aimi arrived with Hiyabo above her head and a nu ghost floating behind her.

A middle-aged man with a solemn face also came with her.

"How to say?"

Nanjo Aishi took half a step back and asked the middle-aged man in front of her.

Uesugi Che only felt an extremely sharp gaze sweeping across his body, causing goose bumps to appear all over his body. Then he heard the middle-aged man say,

"—They are both me."

Lilizi frowned: "Can you tell just by looking at it?"

The middle-aged man said to them seriously, "Nice to meet you two. I'm Kondo Tomoya, the head of the Yin-Yang division in charge of the Arakawa area."

I go.

A high-ranking official came, and he was Nanjo-san’s direct superior.

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that it seemed that the danger of "Love Separation" was extremely high.

If the person who came to see him today was not his clone but his real self, he would have been cremated by now.

"As for why I can distinguish the real from the fake at a glance, it's because I've reached the realm of 'Sword Heart Clearness,'" Kondo Tomoya said. "This is also one of the reasons why Aibieli has always disliked sword practitioners."

After hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu blinked at Lilizi, who had a puzzled look on her face, as if asking, "Why don't you know how to do it?"

Lilizi scratched her head, saying that she couldn't reach it.

Kondo Tomoya: "In any case, please return to the Special Affairs Office with me to discuss this matter. Staying in the school will only lead to unnecessary casualties."

……

Sitting in a black luxury car, the four of them soon arrived at the headquarters of the Arakawa District Special Affairs Office.

Taking his eyes away from the two stars floating in the shadow of the door, Uesugi Che thought to himself that this was worthy of being the headquarters of District 1, the gatekeepers were all two-star shikigami.

Kondo Tomoya led the way: "Please follow me."

On the way, Uesugi Tetsu actually saw Shizuma Manatsu and Kitano Runa arguing in front of a vending machine, apparently discussing which drink was more delicious.

It seems they are living well here.

After exchanging a smile with Ririk, they walked into the conference room that required a password, fingerprint, and iris scan to open.

Kondo Tomoya closed the door. "This conference room is surrounded by a barrier to ensure that the conversation cannot be monitored or leaked."

He sat in the main seat and took out a special pen and paper to take notes.

"Next, please tell us about the causes and consequences of your encounter with Ai Bieli, and the specific process."

With the presence of Nanjo Aimi and the official endorsement, Uesugi Tetsu and the others naturally had nothing to hide from this great Yin-Yang master.

But even so, the entire inquiry session lasted more than an hour.

Tomoya Kondo even filled up more than ten pages of paper with his notes.

"It's a little strange."

Kondo Tomoya frowned. "Why would Aibieli pick on two ordinary people like you for no reason? The killing of the Friendship Cultists yesterday doesn't explain this. Such things happen everywhere in Arakawa District."

If killing the Friends could attract Aibieli's attention, then Nanjo Aimi would have met her long ago.

In this silence, Nanjo Aimi suddenly spoke up; "Ouija board."

She affirmed:

"There's something wrong with that Ouija board."

Chapter 36: Immortal Eight Bitterness, Different Sword Heart

Ouija board?

Kondo Tomoya frowned: "Mr. Nanjo, I haven't heard of anything related to this."

"Because this is a half-star incident." Nanjo Aimi crossed her arms and yawned. "The only demon in the entire incident was a half-star vengeful fox-dog raccoon dog, and by the time we arrived, it had already been exorcised."

She pointed at Uesugi Tetsu: "It was even this Uesugi-kun who said something was wrong with the Ouija board and suggested we bring it back."

Kondo Tomoya was speechless. He usually didn't care about events below two stars, let alone a mere half-star ghost story.

"-Perhaps this Ouija board is very important to Aibieli, and she doesn't know that it is in our hands now, so she went to find the two survivors of that incident."

Nanjo Aimi: "This explanation is very reasonable."

No one objected.

Because apart from this, there is no other explanation that can explain the strange behavior of Aibieli.

"So what's taken so long?" Ririkko tapped the table with her fingers and asked, "Has anyone told us what the two victims' love and separation are? A demon? A strange story? Or something else?"

Kondo Tomoya was about to refuse on the grounds that the less he knew, the safer he was, but Nanjo Aimi had already spoken: "Have you heard of the Eight Bitternesses?"

"—Birth, aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, reunion with those we hate, failure to obtain what we desire, and the prevalence of the five aggregates."

He slammed the table and stood up: "Young Master Nanjo!"

Nanjo Aimi had a blank expression on her face as she confronted her boss: "If you don't tell me now, do you think I'll tell you in front of their graves?!"

"They've already experienced the separation of love up close, Kondo Daizu." Nanjo Aimi said word by word, "You have no right to deprive those involved of their right to know."

Kondo Tomoya's face flushed with anger: "You——!"

But he could not refute what Nanjo Aimi said because this was one of the basic regulations of the Special Affairs Office.

——[Anyone who comes into contact with it will know].

Ririkko remained silent as she watched this scene. She remembered herself asking Nanjo Aimi what the friendship club was.

But what Nanjo Aimi did at this moment could be said to be completely opposite to what she did that night.

Therefore, even Ririkko had to admit that Nanjo Aimi was really responsible, both to herself and others.

Nanjo Aishi stared at her boss with a ruthless tone: "Don't treat them as ignorant little brats, and don't think you can protect everyone by yourself."

"—Kondo Daizu, has too much power given you too much arrogance?"

Kondo Tomoya clenched his rough fists, speechless.
