In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Suddenly, the wind blew.

Uesugi Tetsu used his fingers to push away the hair that covered his eyes, looked up, and found that the originally foggy sky of Tokyo had been covered by lead-colored dark clouds.

It is going to rain.

……

Shizuma Manfuyu is very punctual. If she says half an hour, she will definitely not be a minute early or late.

Uesugi Tetsu got into the old van and saw Shizuma Mafuyu, who looked like a workplace elite, handing him a small iron box.

Shizuma Mafuyu: "Inside is the reward for your commission from Nanjo-sama."

Uesugi Tetsu opened it.

Inside the iron box, a crystal clear red ball with a vibrant flame inside was fixed in the center of the box.

The prompt suddenly popped up——

[Spirit of the Bushfire]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Effect: Depending on the method of use, different special properties can be added to weapons or props.]

[Usage Method 1: Directly inject spiritual energy. Use on designated weapons or items to add a "weak burning attribute" to them.]

[Method 2: Find an experienced craftsman to forge the weapon. This method will add an additional unknown attribute to the weapon item based on method 1.]

[——The essence of the primordial fire, a rare treasure.]

Craftsman?

The first person that Uesugi Tetsu thought of was the blacksmith, but the blacksmith had already left Arakawa Village and disappeared.

But he did leave behind an apprentice who spoke in a soft voice.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the prerequisite of "rich experience" and was a little unsure.

Although the little guy looks young, the appearance of a monster cannot be calculated by common sense.

He temporarily closed the iron box and put it in his pocket, deciding that he had to go find the little guy first no matter what.

After all, the effect of adding an extra attribute is quite tempting.

"I've accepted the reward," Uesugi Tetsu asked. "Then, Ms. Jingjian, could you please tell me more about the commission?"

"First of all, let me make a statement."

Shizuma Mafuyu said, "I am only responsible for sending you to your destination. I will not take care of the rest."

"As it should be."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded - transforming into a demon was not something that could be seen by others.

"Well, let me first tell you about the target's basic situation." Shizuma Mafuyu calmly ran through another red light. "The target's kaidan is called Baka Hayashi, and her strength is between one and a half and two stars."

"Bakahashi?" Uesugi Tetsu tapped his knee with his knuckles expressionlessly. "When did it appear?"

"In the past two days."

The red deer festival that appeared in the past two days...this can no longer be described as a coincidence.

Although Baka-dashi is one of the "Seven Wonders of Honjo," it can barely be considered a local ghost story in the neighboring Arakawa Ward.

But at this critical moment, the Special Affairs Office in the neighboring Sumida District could not sit idly by and allow such a classic ghost story to come here.

Uesugi Tetsu was almost certain that this red deer was the same one he met at Kisaragi Station.

But this is even more strange, because the distance between Ruka Station and Tokyo is more than a little bit.

While stuck in traffic, Shizuma Mafuyu took out some clear photos and information and handed them to Uesugi Tetsu.

"——Nanjo's subordinate said that this red deer may have been accidentally swept to the Arakawa area by the [Deep Ocean Current] when it crossed over to the human world, so it suffered serious injuries."

"—However, on the other hand, it seems to have seized opportunities within the ocean currents and mastered new abilities."

Deep ocean currents?

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the information, which said, "The present world and the eternal world are just continents, floating in the deep ocean."

With this analogy, he understood that these deep ocean currents were roughly the same as the ocean currents in reality.

"According to legend, Bakahashi could only transform into a drum-playing monster, but now it seems to be able to transform into many monsters and possess their abilities."

"Among them, the most powerful demon it transformed into was a special Prajna."

Uesugi Tetsu looked through the photos, and then he saw a figure named Prajna who looked exactly like him, but with his hands empty and making a roaring gesture.

It was confirmed, this was the red deer doll that I met.

Fortunately, the Special Affairs Office discovered it early and confirmed it to be Ma Lu Haizi, otherwise he would have been blamed for nothing and everyone would have condemned him.

Uesugi Chemo sneered twice without any emotion.

Isn't this a coincidence? Let's settle all the old and new grudges together...

"I understand the details."

Uesugi Tetsu placed the photos and information in the car, and while practicing his Qigong technique, he casually looked out the window.

At this moment, the van happened to pass by the door of the Special Affairs Office, and the backs of Ririkko and Kondo Tomoya flashed by.

Lilizi seemed to sense something, turned around with a smile, and waved to him through the non-reflective black glass of the van.

Kondo Tomoya, who was handing over work to his subordinates, took the time to ask,

"——Tokugawa, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Tokugawa Ririko spit out a long air sword that was more than one meter long, then turned around and looked coldly at the place about two hundred meters behind her.

At the corner two hundred meters away, Yuta Niijima, who was wearing a windbreaker, immediately withdrew his gaze and walked away quickly, cursing inwardly as a monster.

"Tokugawa Ririkosuke's senses are too strong, and with Kondo Tomoya beside her...it's hard to attack, so I'll rule it out for now."

"Let's find Uesugi Tetsu first."

In the shadows, the green ghost raised his hand again with a click of his tongue and condensed a translucent water mirror in his palm, trying to use it to spy on Uesugi Tetsu's location.

——This is one of the three talents he obtained after transforming into a blue ghost, water mirror peeping.

But...bang!

Qing Gui's water mirror shattered and exploded instantly, even leaving a trace of blood on his cheek.

Can't spy.

Yuta Niijima was silent. It was the first time he had encountered such a violent reaction from the water mirror.

Then, change the target of spying to "the person that Uesugi Tetsu values the most."

This time, because the target was unclear, the spiritual power required increased exponentially. Judging from the spiritual power originally in Qing Gui's body, it was definitely not enough.

But Yuta Niijima grinned, took out a black pill from the pocket of his windbreaker and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.

As a result, vitality and lifespan burned wildly, in exchange for a temporary increase in spiritual power.

The divination result of Shui Jing came out.

"Tokugawa Ririko..."

Yuta Niijima's face twitched. He didn't expect that he had spied on the same target.

In desperation, he had to exclude Lilizi and conduct a second water mirror spying.

After a moment, Niijima Yuta's face turned extremely gloomy.

"Nanjo Aimi."

He was breathing heavily and his eyes were fierce.

When he took out the last pill from his pocket, Yuta Niijima found that the spiritual power consumed this time was less than the previous two times.

The green ghost grinned happily: "Ordinary people?"

On the water mirror, there appeared a young man's face.

Chapter 69 "Lucky" Baka Hayashi, Prajna is coming!

Uesugi Che looked away in surprise.

I didn't expect that Lilizi could spot me in the car from such a distance.

Could it be that she has already mastered the breathing technique?

He grinned.

This is great. I can acquire a new skill that will be useful for me tomorrow.

Seeing Uesugi Tetsu's playful smile, Shizuma Mafuyu on the side couldn't help but remind him, "Uesugi-kun, please treat the exorcism mission with caution. If you are careless, you will pay a heavy price."

Yes, it's very tragic.

During the time that Shizuma Mafuyu had been running around since joining the company, she had seen too many new Onmyoji and exorcists who thought they had some ability, but turned into a corpse or a pool of minced meat during an ordinary exorcism mission.

Uesugi Tetsu is a good person, so even Shizuma Manfuyu, who has become numb, still reminds him.

"Thanks for the reminder." Uesugi Tetsu restrained his smile and asked doubtfully, "But do I look so nonchalant?"

Shizuma Mafuyu nodded.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

Uesugi Tetsu's face was as calm as water as he stroked Kaga Kiyomitsu, who had taken out the weapon from nowhere and laid it flat on his lap. "If you want to deceive the enemy, then deceiving your teammates as well is definitely the best way to achieve the best results."

Shizuma Mafuyu didn't expect this answer, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "I underestimated Uesugi-kun."

As the van moved forward, the number of people and vehicles around it became smaller and smaller.

Finally, we stopped in front of an unfinished building that had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Before Uesugi Tetsu got out of the car, he felt a cold breath coming from outside.

He stared at the building that practically had the word "haunted" written on its facade for a while and asked,

"Ms. Jingjian, how could the Special Affairs Office allow such a building to exist until now?"

"Quite the opposite."

Shizuma Mafuyu replied, "This was specially designated by the Special Affairs Office as a place for the demons that descend from the world of the living to stay."

"Perhaps most demons prefer to descend directly into busy downtown areas. However, if they are injured during the process, most demons with some sense will choose places like 'this building' to recuperate."

"Therefore, the Special Affairs Office is often able to discover these demons at the earliest opportunity."

It turned out to be a sting operation.

The Tokyo Special Affairs Office has too many tricks and they are too complicated.

Uesugi Tetsu felt a little overwhelmed when he thought about those demons who thought they were smart and deliberately chose a place with few people and strong yin energy to descend, but were visited by the Onmyojis the next day.

The world is full of tricks, so the demons should return to the ordinary world where people are simple and honest.

"Ms. Jingjian, are you staying here and waiting?"

Before getting off the car, Uesugi Tetsu asked one last question.

Shizuma Mafuyu handed over a radio communicator: "The next command will be handed over to you, Uesugi-kun. It's up to you to decide whether to let me stay here and wait, or to let me leave and call for support."

"understood."

Clipping the communicator on his collar, Uesugi Tetsu jumped out of the van and walked towards the abandoned building.

The dark clouds had already covered the sunset in the evening, making the sky darker. Once we walked into the building with few windows, it was so dark that we couldn't see our hands in front of us.

The cold air around him grew even stronger, as if tiny needles were pricking Uesugi Che's skin.

Uesugi Tetsu looked back, and after confirming that the van was completely out of sight, he transformed into Prajna behind the concrete wall.

Tick, tick.

He could clearly hear water dripping slowly but steadily from the ceiling on the fifth floor.

But this abandoned building has eight floors in total. Even if the top floor is open to the sky and there is heavy rain outside, this situation would not be possible.
