In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

"Lilizi, what is the range of your perception of demons?"

"In this silent, dark environment, the diameter is probably around three hundred meters." Lilizi quickly turned her head to collect information about the surrounding environment, and said, "But if it glanced at me, I could immediately lock onto its location."

What kind of human radar is this?

Uesugi Che curled his lips and said, "Then let's find a high point and try to wait and see."

The creatures roamed a large area in one night, so as long as Lilizi stayed on the high ground, she would definitely be able to find it - it was just a matter of time.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to take a step, he found that his hand was held by Lilizi.

Hiss, so cold.

She has been practicing breathing techniques for a long time, so why are her hands still so cold?

"Shh, don't talk."

"Quietly sense the flow of energy within me." Lilizi followed closely and said softly with her breath, "Your breath-retention skills are terrible. In this environment, you're like a furnace. You might scare the other person away."

It turned out that the cold fingers were caused by holding back the breath.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded and shut up, trying his best to imitate while hurrying on.

[Your proficiency in the Coronal Breathing skill is increasing...]

After a while, the two arrived at the rooftop of the highest floor nearby.

Fortunately, the door to the rooftop was ajar, otherwise Uesugi Che would have to climb up the wall again. After all, the sound of opening the door with a crowbar was louder.

There are not many sundries on the rooftop, as if someone cleans it regularly. There is only an iron cabinet standing in the corner.

The two of them squatted down at the same time, with only the part above their noses sticking out from the wall of the rooftop.

After silently holding Lilizi's cold hand for about ten minutes, she asked softly, "If you learn it, I'll go to the other side."

After urgently drawing some soul-soothing incense ash (slightly) from the Half Star Pool and knocking on it, he learned almost everything about Uesugi Che's technique of letting go.

Then I saw Lilizi slowly crawling towards the other side of the rooftop like a big crab.

The waiting time when nothing can be done always seems to pass very slowly. After Uesugi Tetsu felt that more than an hour had passed, he saw Lilizi approaching and saying,

"Here it comes, Uesugi-kun, look—"

After being pulled by her to change the angle, Uesugi Che looked in the direction of the girl's finger.

Under the dim street light, a blurry shadow slowly floated into a house, and floated out again after a few seconds. He could only see it clearly under the next street light.

After this shadow repeated several times, the other party's message finally popped up in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes -

[Living Spirit (1 Star)]

A one-star creature appeared late at night, and the mission information was actually not wrong at all.

Uesugi Tetsu whispered to the girl, shielding his voice with his hands to prevent it from being heard too loudly. "Wait until it goes to a more open area, and then we'll be ready to take action."

Lilizi nodded: "Then should we change..."

Before she finished her words, Uesugi Che saw her expression suddenly change, and felt her quickly pulling up his hand, and rushing silently towards the iron cabinet in the corner of the rooftop.

In less than two seconds, the two of them squeezed in together.

There was already a rather large broom in the iron cabinet, and coupled with the katana worn by Ririko at her waist, the already tight space made the two of them almost squeeze together.

Lilizi quickly closed the iron door, leaving only three or four tiny gaps through which she could observe the outside.

At the same time, she covered Uesugi Tetsu's mouth and made a "hush" gesture to him, making the latter swallow all his questions and confusion.

After exhaling a slightly hot breath, Lilizi suppressed the violent fluctuation of her heartbeat and quickly wrote on the palm of Uesugi Tetsu's palm,

'There is another creature.'

There's another one?!

Uesugi Che's eyes lit up - doesn't that mean he has gained more than a hundred soul ashes?

This trip was the right one.

But Lilizi's expression was somewhat solemn. The Special Affairs Office's previous investigations had not mentioned the appearance of a second creature.

But it appeared tonight.

This is definitely not normal, by any means.

If it weren't for the fearless face of Uesugi Tetsu beside her, Lilizi would have wanted to give up the mission first.

"It's not far from us and may float over soon, so try to keep your breath and don't talk."

After finishing writing, Lilizi turned around awkwardly, with half of her body sticking to Uesugi Tetsu.

Uesugi Che felt no emotion in his heart as he felt the constant soft and hard friction on his left arm. He just wanted to chop down the two creatures and harvest their soul ashes.

A woman? She would only slow down his sword-drawing speed.

Ririkko didn't have any extra thoughts. She just felt that the katana was very inconvenient. The handle almost pierced her waist. She decided to bring a katana next time.

'It's getting closer.'

Lilizi wrote again.

Uesugi Tetsu turned her palm over and said, "I'll take action later, so be on guard."

Ririk nodded to Uesugi Tetsu, whose noses were almost bumping against hers. In an area that she was not familiar with, Ririk chose to trust him unconditionally.

The warm breath intertwined with the cold iron cabinet, making the small space gradually warmer, but the two of them focused all their attention on the unexpected creature.

About half a minute later, a blurry shadow passed through the fence at the edge of the rooftop, probably going to go through this road to the densely packed apartment buildings ahead.

Uesugi Tetsu waited patiently until it floated to the center of the rooftop.

Then, push the iron door open with the gentlest force.

Rushing out like thunder!

Chapter 96: Soul Ash Transformation Box, Nanjo Doll's Rescue

Lilizi only felt a flash before her eyes, and Uesugi Tetsu's back had already arrived behind the creature that was floating by.

This speed is more than twice as fast as when I fought side by side with her that day!

She asked herself honestly that she might be able to see how Uesugi Tetsu attacked, but she definitely couldn't block the attack.

The gap is actually getting bigger and bigger.

A small sense of frustration rose in the girl's heart. "What on earth did he eat to grow up? The Hextech Nine Dragons Bodyguard?"

There was no sound of any breathing techniques being practiced on the rooftop, because Uesugi Tetsu had been suppressing his breathing since he stepped out of the iron cabinet.

The boiling internal energy rolled in the body, and burning pain spread throughout the body.

But after learning the Zanshin technique, Uesugi Tetsu's hands did not tremble at all. He calmly grasped the hilt of Kaga Kiyomizu's sword in his hand.

Pull out.

Listen to thunder in a silent place!

The bright knife light suddenly appeared in the darkness, as if cutting through the layers of dark clouds, allowing Lilizi to glimpse the moonlight falling from the sky.

She stopped for a moment and couldn't help but murmured: "So beautiful..."

Even though Lilizi had already mastered this skill easily, she still couldn't make such a clean and sharp cut.

That's the beauty of pure power.

But she quickly came to her senses and looked at the other creature in the distance. She let out a sigh of relief when she found that it was not alarmed by the movement here.

On the other side, Uesugi Tetsu frowned deeply as he looked at the prompt that popped up in front of him.

[You killed a one-star demon "creature" and obtained 182 soul ash! ]

First of all, it has a lot more soul ashes than ordinary one-star demons, or even one-and-a-half-star demons. Although this is a bit rare, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

[You used Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation to kill a "living being", and the quality of Kaga Kiyomitsu·Imitation has been slightly improved.]

Kaga Kiyomitsu's quality can be improved a little by killing this ordinary little demon. Although the reason is not clear for the time being, it is also a good thing.

[You have obtained the Soul Ash Conversion Box (special item)! ]

But the key is this.

Uesugi Che took out the so-called soul ash conversion box and looked at it carefully.

This is a small black box the size of a palm, and its surface is covered with light golden magical patterns that Uesugi Che cannot understand, but he can still feel the circulation of spiritual power.

He opened it gently, but the box was empty.

The next moment, the item prompt popped up.

[Soul Ash Conversion Box (Special Item)]

[Effect: Can actively absorb the souls of living people, gradually transforming them into low-quality soul ash.]

[——Assembly line product, one of the countless conversion boxes.]

Uesugi Che fell silent. He understood why the soul ashes that exploded from living creatures were much more than those from other demons on the same planet.

Because it was obviously still carrying some of the souls of living people that had not been transformed into ashes by this small box - this was the reason why the residents here felt weak during this period.

Obviously, the living beings are just a cover.

A cover-up using "common mass weakness caused by the consumption of living creatures" to disguise the claim that "someone is using soul ash conversion boxes to collect living souls on a large scale and convert them into soul ashes."

If you are possessed by a creature that is not that harmful, it will only eat some of the residues that naturally fall off your soul. At most, you will be weak for a week or two before recovering.

But what about this?

Uesugi Tetsu had no idea what would happen if a part of a person's soul was missing.

But he knew that it would definitely not be a good thing.

——I am afraid that the collective weakness of the people in this apartment building is just one of the signs of soul damage. Perhaps in a few days, more serious conditions will follow.

The worst-case scenario is that all residents of the apartment building will die mysteriously within a few days or weeks.

This is no longer an ordinary supernatural event, we must take strong measures!

"Uesugi-kun, what is this?"

Lilizi, who was about to report the location of another creature, saw the strange-looking soul ash conversion box and asked curiously.

"Something bad."

Without time to explain too much, Uesugi Tetsu turned on the radio and asked, "Ms. Jingjian, are you still alive?"

Chichi, the unlimited power was connected after two noises.

Shizuma Mafuyu: "Did something happen there?"

Uesugi Tetsu said in a deep voice, "Yes, we will be back as soon as possible. In the meantime, Ms. Jingjian, please be vigilant and prioritize saving your life. Don't die."

"it is good."

The sound of a van starting up was heard on the other end of the radio, and then the call was hung up.

Lilizi stared at the other creature that was startled by the sound of the van starting up, still a little dazed: "Is the other creature not caring anymore?"

"Perhaps there are even more powerful demons secretly controlling them. We must first ensure our safe return." Uesugi Tetsu spread his hands, "Come up."

"Ugh?"

Before Lilizi could even blink, Uesugi Tetsu grabbed her and she jumped down from the sixth floor.

A strong sense of weightlessness enveloped Ririk, her body stiffened slightly, and she almost thought she was going to fall to death.

pat.

Uesugi Tetsu landed lightly and put the frightened Lilizi on the ground: "Let's go."

"Huh? Oh, good."

Ririkko understood everything in two seconds and nodded. Her heart was beating fast but she followed behind Uesugi Tetsu with an expressionless face.

The two of them quickly rushed towards the parking lot.

But halfway through the walk, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly felt a faint light repeatedly shining into his eyes.

He looked up while holding the hilt of the knife and found that the source of the light was actually a small flashlight sticking out from the apartment building.
