In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The leading Onmyoji took out his radio and reported with a vigilant look.

"Huh... Then let's check as usual. After leaving behind some necessary personnel, the others will each do their job."

The other end was visibly relieved.

"Yes."

The Yin-Yang Master and the police began to search the scene thoroughly.

——On the other hand, Uesugi Tetsu was about to run out of the jurisdiction of Ota Ward.

He found that although there were demons appearing in Ota District along the way, most of them were very minor and did not cause any major disturbance.

"It seems that only the Arakawa District is unlucky. There is an existence called Aibieli that is different from ordinary demons."

What he saw and heard along the way further confirmed Uesugi Tetsu's guess.

——It seems that because Aibieli was repelled by Nanjo Aimi, the big demon who originally responded to the riots in Shinjuku and Shibuya has disappeared, and the order in the city has gradually returned to normal.

I don't know whether he retreated on his own or was exorcised by the ruler of this place within a few hours.

Uesugi Tetsu tends to believe the latter.

Because as soon as he entered the jurisdiction of these two districts, he inexplicably felt a surge of spiritual pressure, and he even felt that he could follow this very directional pressure to its owner.

This should be the legendary four-star Onmyoji who has broken through the current [sea level] of the world and whose strength has reached the level of ghosts and gods.

They are like beacons, stretching across the sky, warning all demons in their jurisdiction with their presence.

Uesugi Che tried his best to restrain his breath and passed by quietly.

It took more than half an hour before he returned to Arakawa District before his angry glare ended. He changed into his own appearance and found Ririko and the others.

She was working together with Rugui and Rihefang, and had just killed a flying-headed barbarian that had appeared during the chaos and wanted to suck human souls.

Now several people are turning over the rubble, preparing to rescue the people inside.

Shizuma Manatsu was not there, she must have been sent back to the Special Affairs Office.

The reason why Uesugi Tetsu did not directly change back into a human body was that although the red tide had been completely recovered by Aibieli as capital for fighting against Nanjo Aimi, the current Arakawa District had not yet been pacified.

Try to retain your strength as long as you can. When the glaring time is over, Uesugi Che will become a real fragile person with all his attributes turned into "1".

wow-

A bright knife light slashed across, splitting the piled wooden pillars and boulders in half, revealing a smooth cut.

Ru Gui was quick-witted and quick-handed. He immediately stretched out his hair and rescued several of the crying elementary school students.

Lilizi, who was digging the stone with her hands, was stunned. She turned around and couldn't help showing a happy expression: "It's good that you are not dead!"

What kind of blessing custom is this?

Uesugi Tetsu sighed: "Lilizi, how are things going on your side?"

Talking about business, Lilizi frowned: "It's strange, not long ago, those seeds infected by the red tide suddenly fell to the ground and lost their ability to move."

"And it's not just here. As I walked along, I noticed that the red tide in the entire Arakawa area seemed to have disappeared in an instant. The turmoil came to an abrupt end. I suspect it has something to do with the separation of love."

Suspect?

Could it be that the news that Aibieli was defeated by Nanjo Aimi has not been announced yet?

It shouldn't be.

But after looking at Lilizi again, Uesugi Tetsu understood everything - the girl was in tatters, and the scars on her fair skin were still bleeding. Not to mention her cell phone, there was not even a pocket left to put the cell phone in.

So he explained to Lilizi and asked the girl to turn her head and look at the sky which had become silent.

A faint feeling of powerlessness came over me.

"So, Nanjo-sama won."

"Probably...other than that, Ririko."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the few minutes left in his angry glare and explained, "I just used a secret technique that overdraws my body's potential, so I will be completely exhausted. Please take me back to the Special Affairs Office."

——Using secret techniques to resist the red tide, and then losing combat effectiveness and being taken back to the Special Affairs Office by others. This script is very reasonable and will not be doubted by anyone.

"Small things."

Lilizi nodded, and then heard the cheers of the two Shikigami behind her.

She and Uesugi Che looked over and found that Nu Gui was smiling with a lot of water pouring out of his body, causing the two or three elementary school students in her arms to stop crying and stare at the scene in a daze.

Not long after, the glaring time ended, and Ririko carried the limp Uesugi Tetsu on her back and rushed towards the Special Affairs Office.

The streets and alleys were filled with "seeds" lying on the ground with their eyes closed. Uesugi Che took a quick look and found that without exception, they had lost their souls and only had empty shells of flesh left.

Along the way, they could see many Onmyoji and their Shikigami rescuing people from the ruins, and firefighters putting out fires everywhere.

However, the soldiers, who should be the most common and play the greatest role in such occasions, are still nowhere to be seen.

When we arrived at the door of the Special Affairs Office, we saw that this place had become a temporary medical base, with seriously injured Onmyoji everywhere.

Lilizi thought back to the group of gentlemen who had "all escaped" and couldn't help cursing, "A bunch of insects like that should all be hanged at the city gate!"

"——Ms. Nanjo and I both feel the same way, Tokugawa-san."

A strange and cold voice came, making Lilizi turn around in confusion.

The blind girl, wearing a blood-stained haori and holding a cane, bowed her head towards her and sighed apologetically, "I'm sorry, we encountered an unexpected demon on the way and were delayed for quite some time. By the time we arrived, the unrest in Arakawa District had already ended."

She said, "But for the next period of time, this Tokugawa Haruhiko and I will stay in Arakawa District as external reinforcements sent by the Kyoto Onmyoji Ryo, and deal with the arrival of the first wave together with you."

——Kujo Tsubaki?

Uesugi Che was slightly stunned as he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and then he found Kujo Tsubaki's empty right arm.

"Hello, Kujo."

The knife-wielding boy beside Tsubaki Kujo tutted, "Why apologize to her? You're injured much more seriously than this guy."

Tsubaki Kujo frowned and tapped the boy's shin hard with his cane. "Tokugawa Haruhiko, is this how you talk to your sister?"

Tokugawa Haruhiko turned his head away: "Tsk, you're just lucky. You relied on your parents and your face to get into the main family's side branch. What qualifications do you have for me to call you sister..."

Before he could finish his words, a chill began to emanate from Kujo Tsubaki's body, but when she was about to scold him, she was interrupted by Lilizi.

"Ms. Kujo," Lilizi said nonchalantly, "My little brother has had this kind of personality since he was little. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

After these words were spoken, the matter at hand became a family matter, and Kujo Tsubaki found it difficult to interrupt.

Uesugi Tetsu was somewhat baffled by this sudden development. How could he run into Ririkko's brother at the entrance of the Special Affairs Office while walking peacefully?

Is this world so small?

——By the way, he still hasn't figured out what the situation is like at Lilizi's home, and she seems to have never mentioned it.

After saying that, Lilizi wanted to carry Uesugi Tetsu into the building, wanting to settle him down first before doing anything else.

But before she could reach the stairs, an unsheathed sword blocked her way.

Tokugawa Haruhiko looked at Uesugi Tetsu on her back with a playful look: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Tokugawa Rikiko, wouldn't you like to introduce the person on your back?"

He laughed and said,

"What would Grandpa think if he knew you came to Tokyo and secretly found a man who is worse than an ordinary person?"

Lilizi paused, looked up and stared at him coldly: "Tokugawa Haruhiko, if you have a mental problem, go get treatment. There's no need to use the behavior of an elementary school boy to show your presence here. Ms. Kujo wouldn't think you're handsome like this."

Lilizi removed the disguise of Yu Xin Jue and said word by word: "Everyone has a dislike for stupidity."

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to Ririkko, and even Kujo Tsubaki was tapping his guide stick in surprise.

Tokugawa Haruhiko's face was even more stiff, and the sarcastic words that were about to come out of his mouth were abruptly stopped.

Sword, sword, sword... the sword heart is clear?!

Tokugawa Ririko has completed Kenshin Tomoka... How is this possible?

How could a mere concubine's daughter, forbidden from accessing transcendental knowledge and having never practiced the "Four Extremes" breathing technique, possibly reach the realm of swordsmanship enlightenment through ordinary swordplay?!

Even within the clan, of their generation, only the eldest brother had a sudden enlightenment of the sword two years ago, stepping into this mysterious realm that could not be taught by others.

In addition, even the third sister who had entered the realm of ghosts and gods early on was stuck in the unity of man and sword like him, unable to make any progress.

——Even though Tokugawa Ririko's parents died early and she was a concubine's daughter with no support, everything became different after she entered the realm of swordsmanship.

——The elders will re-evaluate her value and probably make her a direct descendant in legal terms. It is estimated that the Four Extremes Breathing Technique will also be allowed to her.

It's over now.

Tokugawa Haruhiko quickly retracted his sword, put his hands behind his back, and forced a stiff smile: "Um... Fifth Sister, I was abrupt just now."

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Being assertive at first and respectful later, it makes me laugh just thinking about it."

Tokugawa Haruhiko looked at him with a disdainful expression.

"It's true that I'm apologizing to my fifth sister, but who are you?"

"—He's mine."

Lilizi stared at him coldly: "Tokugawa Haruhiko, aren't you going to report to Grandpa? Then go and tell him what I said."

"Now, can you get out of here?"

Ririkko ignored Tokugawa Haruhiko's twitching face and calmly walked up the stairs carrying Uesugi Tetsu on her back.

The sound of two people talking came from the front——

"Lilizi, your cheap brother changes his face faster than a chameleon."

"What a waste! Since childhood, he has only dared to embarrass those who are weaker than him. He is worse than a pug."

Hearing these words, Tokugawa Haruhiko's face gradually became gloomy. He clenched the hilt of his sword and repeated the five words "Tokugawa Ririko" in his heart with gritted teeth.

Suddenly, Kujo Tsubaki closed the small notebook in his hand and said, "Three-star Specialist Tokugawa Haruhiko, I have recorded everything we just discussed in the mission report."

Tokugawa Haruhiko stood there in shock for a long time, and finally lowered his head deeply: "I'm sorry, Commissioner Kujo..."

……

Because the infirmary was already full, Uesugi Tetsu, who had no obvious injuries, was placed in Ririko's personal room with the door open.

He sat back on the floor, finally having time to check the numerous notifications that had popped up long ago—

[Special limited-time mission, "Red Tide" begins settlement! ]

[Goal 1: Working with Nanjo Aimi to curb the spread of the "Red Tide" has been accomplished!]

[Goal 2, together with Nanjo Aimi, to exorcise the Eight Sufferings and Love Separation, completed!]

Your participation in curbing the spread of red tide is B.

[Your participation in the Purification of the Eight Sufferings: Love and Separation is SS!]

[Comprehensive evaluation completed - your participation rating for the special limited-time mission "Red Tide" is S!]

Chapter 109: Mastery of Breathing Technique, the Wave is Coming

[Because your overall rating is S, you have received the corresponding S-level reward - 1000 Soul Ashes. Walking Rally Token (special item)! Divine Fortune Stick (special item)!]

Two special props?

Special items are different from ordinary weapons and equipment. There is no specific grade classification, but most of them have irreplaceable special features.

Uesugi Tetsu first took out the "walking rally token", which is another prop related to his walking identity.

I didn’t expect that I got another token before I finished the task related to the “Broken Walking Token” I got last time.

A cool feeling came from the palm of his hand, and Uesugi Che lifted it up with great difficulty to look at it carefully.

——After his physical attribute became "1", he felt like a bodybuilder who had been without water and taking carbon dioxide for several days. Even though his appearance had not changed at all, his strength had declined to an extreme, and even breathing normally was very difficult.

Purely strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

【Walking Rally Token (Special Item)】

[How to use: Consume 100 Soul Ashes to permanently light up the rally token. After lighting up the token, inject a little spiritual power to use it.]

【Note: This token can only be used in the ordinary world.】

[——An ancient, dusty assembly token, perhaps once belonging to a walker who measured the entire world long ago.]
