In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Then, hold on tight!

For a moment, Uesugi Tetsu felt that both heaven and earth had come to a standstill.

The spiritual energy in the atmosphere that he could feel disappeared without a trace in an instant. Even the falling raindrops seemed to have lost their support and were disturbed, losing their original falling direction.

As far as the eye can see, all the barriers burst into a glow at the same time, like stars.

"five minutes."

Nanjo Aimi suddenly spoke, glancing at the two people beside her: "In five minutes, all the 'seeds' and Aibieli's clones in Arakawa District will be marked in the most intuitive way."

Hearing this voice, Uesugi Tetsu withdrew his gaze from the sky and saw Nanjo Aimi, who was wrapped in materialized spiritual power and had a fragile texture like jade all over her body.

Lilizi drew her sword: "You want us to protect you for these five minutes?"

"You have to get away from me as quickly as possible within five minutes."

Nanjo Aimi said indifferently: "It won't be long before Aibieli comes to visit. The two of you will do nothing but cause trouble and hinder us if you continue to stay here."

"what?"

Just as Ririkos opened her mouth to say something, Uesugi Tetsu grabbed her collar and lifted up the girl holding the katana. He then picked up the bewildered Shizuma Manatsu and said, "Take care, Nanjo-sister."

She turned back and said, "Xiao Ru, Rihefang. You two should leave too."

Rugui shook his head and waved his hands in confusion, while Hiyaban had a tearful expression and made a whimpering sound.

Nanjo Aimi stared at the two of them indifferently for a while, then closed her eyes and said helplessly, "What I mean is, I want you to protect Uesugi-kun and the others."

After some consolation, Rugui and Rihefang finally accepted the sudden mission statement and flew to Uesugi Tetsu's side dejectedly.

Seeing Uesugi Tetsu turn and leave without saying a word, the shadows under Nanjo Aimi's feet surged, and a crooked human figure stood up.

"Hmm...he and you, Aishi-chan, really look alike."

"It was just a correct judgment based on my own strength. If I didn't even have this decisiveness, I wouldn't have been able to separate you a second time."

Hearing this, Shadow Girl sighed, "One of the famous Eight Sufferings is about to arrive. Shouldn't we go and take back that part of him?"

Nanjo Aimi tapped the Ouija board. "Thanks to Mafuyu, Aibieli hasn't reached four stars yet. She's probably still using the emotions brought on by the red tide to recover her strength."

"As long as you haven't reached the realm of ghosts and gods, it makes no difference to me."

Nanjo Aimi said indifferently,

“Even if He is the Eight Sufferings, it is the same.”

……

"Uesugi-kun, are we just going to leave like this?"

After being carried out of the cemetery, Lilizi couldn't help but look back and ask.

Uesugi Tetsu asked back: "What else?"

If I could see the panel, Love and Separation would most likely be three and a half stars, and of an extremely high quality.

Even his "Laughing Prajna" underwent many changes after reaching epic quality. As one of the Eight Sufferings, which has been rampant in the present and eternal worlds for thousands of years, how high would the quality of Love and Separation be?

Legend? Or above legend?

In short, we must not let Ririkko and Shizuma Manatsu stay there any longer.

"Also, please correct me."

Uesugi Tetsu pushed Shizuma Manaka, who was neither crying nor afraid, but just looked dazed, to Ririko, then stopped and fell one step behind the others.

"It's you, not me."

The man and the two Shikigami turned around at the same time and saw that the vermilion katana was hanging on Uesugi Tetsu's waist.

"I'm stronger than you, Lilizi." Uesugi Tetsu ignored the girl's gaze and pointed to the chaotic street ahead. "And facing love and separation isn't the only way to achieve something."

After saying this, he looked at the two shikigami whose expressions were slightly disturbed: "You don't want to disobey the master's orders and expose her flaws in battle, do you?"

Hiyabo showed an angry expression, and then Rugui's hair suddenly rolled him back and held him tightly in his arms.

She nodded heavily at Uesugi Tetsu.

"Then let's separate here."

Uesugi Tetsu clapped his hands and finally turned his gaze to the frowning Ririko.

The girl tutted in displeasure. "Don't look at me. Manatsu won't get hurt until I die. On top of that, I'll also try to kill as many infected monsters as possible and save as many people as possible."

After saying that, Ririko took Shizuma Manatsu's hand and walked into the burning street with the two Shikigami.

Uesugi Tetsu was silent for a moment, and after forming a vague plan in his mind, he called out Nishaku-sama: "Nishaku-sama, will your curse mark be effective against demons much more powerful than you?"

"Pooh~ It's definitely effective, but if the other party is proficient in Yin-Yang magic, the curse may be lifted."

A tall shadow suddenly appeared, covering Uesugi Tetsu's entire body.

He was stunned for two seconds before realizing that Erchisama had actually recovered to one and a half stars.

Just as Ershaku-sama was about to show an expression that said "Praise me", he quickly protected Uesugi Tetsu behind him and narrowed his eyes.

Smoke, blood, crying, and strange fluctuations of spiritual power.

She said vigilantly: "Master Che, what happened..."

"I don't have time to explain. Anyway, it's because of love and separation—compared to this, Nishaku-sama, can you return to your smallest size?"

Uesugi Tetsu took out the Hundred Eyes Demon Eyeball and said seriously.

The two-foot-tall lady subconsciously showed a slightly lost expression, but with a "po" sound, she turned back into a two-foot-tall girl.

In an instant, its once eye-catching figure became inconspicuous again.

Uesugi Tetsu handed her the Hundred Eyes Devil Eyeball and a pair of exquisitely crafted binoculars, and pointed to the tallest office building a hundred meters away.

"Get to the top floor of that building as quickly as possible, and then point this eyeball in the direction of the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations. This is equivalent to my sight."

Nanjo Aimi may not necessarily come into contact with Aibieli at the cemetery, but it would definitely not be wrong to say "the direction where the spiritual power fluctuations are the strongest."

"Finally, when I give the order, you are to observe Aibieli with a telescope and mark her."

Uesugi Tetsu transformed into a three-tailed fox, took out a Komainu bell and shook it, causing three Komainu soldiers in black armor to appear beside him.

Three, good luck.

He made a subtle move in his mind, letting the Komainu know that their next master was Nishaku-sama, and then he said, "From now on, these three Komainu will obey your orders."

"Two-foot master, please hurry."

Uesugi Tetsu spoke seriously, bringing the dazed Nishaku-sama back to his senses.

"Pooh! We must complete Master Che's orders!"

The girl saluted him as if she had been given an injection of chicken blood, then turned over and rode on the back of one of the Komainu, rushing towards the tallest office building within a kilometer radius.

Thus, all the arrangements are concluded.

Uesugi Tetsu's idea is very simple - even if Nanjo Aimi's strength soars as if by cheating, and becomes stronger than Aibieli, it will be impossible to kill Aibieli, who can split himself at will, in a battle when the opponent comes to him.

Aibieli was defeated, and the red tide receded without engulfing the entire Arakawa District. This is theoretically the best ending.

But Uesugi Tetsu wants to do more than that.

He wanted to kill Aibieli and put an end to all this once and for all.

The curse mark of Nishaku-sama is different from the ordinary Yin-Yang magic tracking and positioning, and it contains a certain strange concept.

Ghost stories are different from demons and monsters. The latter have existed in the world since ancient times, while the former, the so-called ghost stories and urban legends, have become true only through word of mouth.

So it also has a bit of unreasonable meaning.

Perhaps the curse of Erchisama can indeed be removed by Yin-Yang magic, or perhaps it is impossible to locate Aibieli across the distance between the original body and the clone.

But Uesugi Tetsu had no other choice. He couldn't just give up without even trying.

As for whether it is possible to be killed by love and separation...

Uesugi Tetsu took out the life-saving doll from the storage backpack, bit the fingertip of his left hand hard, and wrote the three words "Uesugi Tetsu" on the pale life-saving cloth.

Then he put it in his pocket temporarily.

Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief, put on his hooded coat, transformed into White Prajna, which did not consume spiritual energy, and put away the vermilion scabbard.

After putting away the iconic scabbard, apart from a few acquaintances such as Ririko or Kondo Tomoya who recognized Kaga Kiyomitsu, no one would associate the white Prajna with Uesugi Tetsu just because of a tachi.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth suddenly dimmed.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and found that the starry barrier that originally covered the entire Arakawa District had disappeared.

hum.

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

Uesugi Che took out his mobile phone and found that the bright red warning sign on it had been replaced by a game-like UI interface.

There are five big words on it:

Red Tide Defense

"What is the Special Affairs Office doing?"

Uesugi Tetsu frowned and clicked the screen, only to find that what popped up was a detailed map of the entire Arakawa District.

On the gray-white map, there are red dots everywhere, moving, scattered or dense to the point of being frightening.

A sign popped up on the red dot - "Fake person".

Then the comment pops up.

[Pseudo-human]: A man-eating demon disguised as a human. Unarmed civilians, please stay away as soon as possible!

There are also relatively rare ones on the map, but they are usually clustered among the red dots, or the green dots before the so-called "safe zone" - "Police/Special Police"

【Police/Special Police】: They will protect everyone's safety!

In addition, the gray-white map clearly marks the red high-risk areas, yellow danger areas, and blue safe houses.

Then a prompt popped up on the phone screen——

[Mr. Uesugi Tetsu! After the test, your ability meets the requirements. Do you choose to become a police officer/special police officer? 】

Uesugi Tetsu realized that the Starry Barrier had been successfully activated by Nanjo Aimi.

All the seeds and Aibieli clones in the Arakawa area have been marked.

However, the Special Affairs Office did not share this information only with its officers. Instead, it shared it on the mobile phones of everyone in the Arakawa District in the form of a simple and easy-to-understand game through unknown means.

Even the locations of the Special Affairs Office agents and police officers, as well as the danger level of the area, are marked to prevent ordinary people from fleeing aimlessly.

"genius!"

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Whose brilliant idea is this?"

……

At the same time, at the Special Affairs Office headquarters.

Kitano Runa nervously took out her cell phone, but after a few fumbles, she couldn't open it. She picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground and asked the boy who was wearing a pained shirt next to her,

"How's it going, Wu-kun? Did you succeed?!"

"It's...it's a success!"

The boy called Wu-kun slumped on the ground and showed the game "Red Tide Defense" on his mobile phone.

"Great!"

The girl raised her hands and shouted happily, causing half of the clerks on the same floor to cheer at the same time.

Many people couldn't help but take off their headphones and applauded Kitano Runa for coming up with this brilliant idea.

But in such a cheerful atmosphere, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Love is coming."

——It was the young subordinate who stayed behind at the Special Affairs Office headquarters.

Everyone's smile froze.

Wu Jun, who had just felt relieved, struggled to get up and ran towards the man with pigtails, but was slapped to the ground.

"Go-kun, just stay here. I see you like that guy quite a bit, don't you?"

The young man named Dongye spoke lightly, and the lifelike bright red evil ghost tattoo on his back fell off, turning into a ferocious red ghost nearly three meters tall.
