In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Then why didn't he discover them during his previous visits to Edo Castle?

"Is this a normal phenomenon, or is it related to the first wave?"

The former is fine, but if it's the latter...

Given the low average strength of the homeless and their huge numbers, it would be very easy for them to be brought to the world in batches by the waves that would intensify over time.

And there is another point - Uesugi Che could hardly sense any demonic aura from them. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he confirm that these guys were not living people.

If they come, the Special Affairs Office, which is already under great pressure, will definitely become even more overwhelmed.

"A troubled time..."

Fortunately, he discovered this in advance, and if he told Nanjo Aimi about it, the Special Affairs Office could be prepared for it.

pat.

The sound of footsteps in mud and water came from behind.

"Um?!"

Uesugi Tetsu turned his head suddenly. How come he didn't notice the other person until his footsteps were right behind him!?

“——It’s actually Prajna, Prajna.”

A frivolous, deep voice came from behind. The large man with pigtails and white eyes laughed and hefted a two-meter-long naginata onto his shoulder. "But your Prajnaparamita seems a little different from the usual ones."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at him and found that the big man seemed completely unaffected by his supernatural majesty.

Very strong.

Even though they hadn't fought, just from the other party's posture and some of the most subtle movements, he could tell that this big man with white eyes was far stronger than himself.

The samurai in Edo Castle, casually wearing cloth clothes and daring to walk around, are far more powerful than himself.

Wax figure (three and a half stars)

The logo that popped up above the other person's head confirmed Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts.

He placed his hand on the hilt of the knife: "Sir, is this the wax figure?"

"Oh! It's Prajna who can actually speak. This is so strange!" The big man named Wax Figure spread out his five fingers with an exaggerated expression and grabbed around in the air.

The wax figure grinned and said, "If I could bring back this rare head of yours, I'm sure the boss would be surprised."

It seems that there is no way to escape.

But he didn't care that I knew his name. Was it that he simply didn't care or was it that the reputation of these three people was already widely known?

Uesugi Tetsu showed no sign of weakness and snorted coldly, "The one standing here is just my clone, used to explore Edo Castle. Mr. Wax Figure, you'd better consider the consequences before you attack me."

But who would have thought that instead of showing a fearful expression, the wax figure licked its lips and said excitedly: "Clone? Interesting, interesting."

He slowly raised his naginata and spoke in fear: "If I kill you here, will your true form come after me? Oh, I'm so scared..."

"Kidding."

The wax figure restrained its expression and pointed the tip of the blade dripping with rain at Uesugi Tetsu: "If your true form is at the level of a ghost or god, then come find me."

"——I have long wanted to fight to the death with ghosts and gods!"

The extremely broad naginata fell along with the extremely excited words, occupying Uesugi Tetsu's entire sight like the setting moon.

There's no way to avoid it, no matter what.

Uesugi Tetsu's instinct told him so, making him quickly give up the idea of distancing himself and regrouping.

A surge of hot air gushed out of his mouth and nose, causing Uesugi Tetsu's body functions to reach their peak in an instant.

Coronal Breathing, Form Five!

Turn your wrist and grip the hilt tightly.

Pull out.

The blade, as cold as moonlight, slid out of the scabbard and hit the middle of the naginata before it landed on the neck, shocking it so much that it could not move.

The last come first!

——Tenran Rishin-ryu Iaijutsu: Strike from the front!

"Good sword skills!"

The wax figure's jaw trembled as it offered its praise without reservation: "But unfortunately, this strength is too weak for me!"

He stepped forward heavily, and with his absolute superior strength, he forcibly knocked Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade away, and then took advantage of the moment when Uesugi Tetsu had not yet regained his strength and slashed him with his sword!

The naginata cut through Prajna like butter, almost cutting Uesugi Tetsu in two with one stroke.

The wax figure whistled lightly, shaking the hot blood off the naginata and carrying it on his shoulder again.

"Oh? The body is really gone... What Prajna said is actually true."

Staring at Uesugi Tetsu who fell and disappeared before his eyes, the wax figure couldn't help but grin.

"Maybe the days ahead won't be so boring."

……

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Uesugi Che opened his eyes on the bed, touched his intact chest and abdomen, and let out a light breath.

With the help of Zanshin to stabilize the mind, the mental burden of death has indeed become less heavy.

If it happened in the past, he would have died of such a terrible stab that his internal organs would have burst out, and he would have needed at least five or six minutes to recover.

Now it takes seconds to accept and calm down.

Closing his eyes and recalling the fight between himself and the wax figure, Uesugi Che couldn't help but smile.

He still remembered that the first two times he encountered Fang Xiangshi or Bai Gu, he was beheaded with a single blow without any ability to resist.

This time, he was actually able to draw his sword and fight against the three-and-a-half-star wax figure, even when the other party attacked first.

Even though Xiao Banruo's star level has not changed, Uesugi Tetsu also claims that he has become much stronger.

"But, it's not enough..."

With both receiving three and a half stars, Love and Separation is only stronger and more mysterious than the wax figure.

I also need to find a way to draw the three-tailed fox incarnation as soon as possible.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at his soul ash reserves - 700 points in whole and small amounts.

There are still 800 soul ash points left to buy the pair of arm armor and do another ten-draw. Even if you take into account the Bull Demon Fangs and Samurai Sleeves that need to be sold, you still need at least 700 points.

After all, it's still because I'm not strong enough.

But today's two opportunities to explore the ordinary world have been used up.

Uesugi Che was not feeling sleepy now. The scene of his fight with the wax figure just now lingered in his mind for a long time.

In that case, it would be better to ask Nanjo Aimi to find some commissions to do.

Considering the deep dark circles under the eyes of Shizuma Mafuyu that he saw today, Uesugi Tetsu still didn't call her.

He called Nanjo Aimi, but the call was connected before he even turned on the speakerphone.

Uesugi Che looked at the current time.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Nanjo Aimi's weak voice came: "I'm working overtime. If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please leave."

Uesugi Tetsu: "Nanjo-sister, please give me some supernatural commissions. You must have a huge backlog of similar cases."

After two seconds of silence, Nanjo Aimi's frantic voice came over: "Every day, dozens of calls are made to the police station about supernatural incidents, but less than one in ten of them are real! I'm really fed up, but I can't just ignore it. If I try to handle everything, we won't have enough manpower!"

"Can't we let the police verify the authenticity first?"

Nanjo Aishi sighed, "Other young men do that... but if they encounter a slightly stronger demon, they will die. Why should a worker make things difficult for another worker?"

Uesugi Tetsu said helplessly: "Nanjo-sister, you are too soft-hearted. The first wave will come soon, and then they will face the demons sooner or later."

The sound of a lighter came from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that Nanjo Ai was lighting a cigarette.

"Maybe," she said glumly.

Uesugi Tetsu paused for a moment and continued, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you."

But before he could tell the information about the homeless person, he heard a series of threatening roars coming from the balcony.

"What's wrong?" asked Nanjo Aimi.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't reply. He muted his phone temporarily and quietly stuck his head out of the window.

The corner of his eyebrow twitched slightly.

Because, two ragged homeless people were standing on the balcony of his house, confronting the faceless ghost father.

Chapter 94: Lilizi's Scientific Research Sleep Method

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was in Edo Castle wondering whether the homeless people would run out with the rising and falling waves, he suddenly saw two of them on his balcony.

"But even if that's the case, it shouldn't have landed precisely on the balcony..."

Uesugi Che was speechless. Could it be that his house was a place where negative energy gathered and the feng shui was extremely bad?

Wait, it seems that this is possible.

Just yesterday, a cow ghost was almost eaten to pieces by my dad, and now there is a homeless person. In a few days, will the two brothers with the white skeleton wax statues come directly to my doorstep?

He pondered for a moment and decided to talk about the situation with Nanjo later and ask her to find an expert in Yin-Yang magic to see what was going on.

Although it may cause the "balcony monster spawning point" to be destroyed, Uesugi Tetsu is not the kind of person who would be greedy for such a small profit.

He didn't want to see chaos in his house every time he woke up.

If Dad couldn't hold on one day, the one who would be sent would be him lying in bed exploring the world.

When Uesugi Tetsu focused his eyes again, he was shocked to find that the two homeless people had been pinned to the ground by his father and were being eaten vigorously in just a few seconds.

As the ghost dad gnawed, the two homeless people made gurgling sounds as their blood bubbles rolled up their cheeks.

Fortunately, these demons that descended from the ordinary world would not leave too many traces after death, otherwise Uesugi Tetsu would have to worry about the hygiene conditions at home.

Uesugi Tetsu closed the window and thought, "This guy is such a loser! He's such a loser and yet he dares to yell at his dad?"

Moreover, he found that the two homeless people did not seem to have any equipment or props dropped, and they were just poor guys.

After finding a pair of headphones, Uesugi Tetsu released the mute plug that was pressed against Nanjo Aimi's mouth: "Hello, is Nanjo-san still there?"

Nanjo Aishi didn't feel any dissatisfaction with being muted immediately. Instead, she immediately asked, "What happened?"

So Uesugi Tetsu recounted in detail what had just happened, along with his own speculation about the situation of those who were homeless after the wave arrived.

Of course, Uesugi Tetsu did not reveal anything about the eternal time travel.

He also replaced the role of Ghost Dad with himself - Nanjo Aimi vaguely discovering the existence of Ghost Dad and admitting it himself are two different things.

"I understand." Nanjo Aimi's tone was unusually serious. "Whether your guess is correct or not, I want to thank you on behalf of the entire Special Affairs Office."

"That's not necessary. I just want more requests to confirm the existence of demons."

Uesugi Tetsu pulled out the excuse he had thought of not long ago: "I just started Coronal Breathing yesterday, and my hands are really itching."

The emphasis was not on "high-star commission" but on "confirming the existence of the demon" because Uesugi Tetsu didn't want to make a trip in vain.

There are only a few hours left before the next entry into the ordinary world. It doesn't matter if you earn less soul ash. The key is not to waste time.

"That's easy." Nanjo Aimi then gave another warning, "Also, don't tell everyone you've been practicing breathing techniques. If you don't say anything, no one will care. But if you do, it'll probably be hard for your girlfriend."

Uesugi Tetsu was helpless: "Lilizi is not my daughter... Forget it, as long as you are happy, Nanjo-sister."

"Then I'll let Mafuyu pick you up. She'll explain the details to you—"

Halfway through her speech, Nanjo Aimi's voice suddenly stopped, and then several voices, some strange and some familiar, came from the headphones, which seemed a bit noisy.

After a while, she spoke again.

"Uh, your girlfriend said she wanted to come too, so I wanted to ask you what you think."

what?
