I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Inoue Ueya felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, and for some reason he listened to Sadako's words and opened his mouth obediently. When he came to his senses, he had already drunk the porridge on the spoon.

Seeing this, Sadako nodded with satisfaction, scooped another mouthful of porridge, and continued feeding, while mentioning what happened last night.

After Inoue Ueya fainted last night, Sadako and the Yin-Yang masters of Hanakaiin conducted a simple physical examination on the resurrected dead. Although their mental states were a little unstable, their physical conditions were no different from those of normal humans. They were resurrected at the age of death, and the materialized causal power seemed to be fine.

At that time, Inoue Ue had also fallen into a coma, and Nue seemed to have disappeared without a trace under the influence of the power of cause and effect. The Skeleton Demon God took the opportunity to escape from the scene with Yuyuko. Sadako then made up a story and attributed the resurrection of the dead to the disappeared Nue.

Although Sadako had heard about the Trickster's materialization ability from Arsenal, and although the enhanced ability of the peak form was probably one of the keys, she really didn't expect that the power of the mind could be so powerful that it could resurrect the dead.

This kind of ability involving life and death is a bit shocking for humans after all. If someone with ulterior motives knows about this, Inoue Ue might also be in danger. The bad luck of the singularity must be prevented, so Sadako and the other girls decided to hide the truth from both Hanakaiin and the monsters. She still couldn't completely trust other Onmyoji except Hanakaiin Yuura, and before leaving, she did not forget to secretly use her ability to erase the camera records on the nearby streets to completely eliminate the possibility of the truth being exposed.

"Hmph, idiot Ueya, didn't you tell me before that you wouldn't fight to the death?"

Sadako puffed up her cheeks, pouted her lips, and showed an expression of dissatisfaction.

"If I hadn't rushed back to Ertiao City in time to provide support last night, you, this idiot, would have caused trouble again, right?"

Inoue Ueya scratched his head. He did not respond to Sadako's question. A bitter smile appeared on his face, thinking that Sadako was worthy of her name. She saw through his thoughts completely.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, Sadako."

Sadako nodded, and as if she suddenly remembered something, a blush slowly welled up on her cheeks. She said shyly, "Hmph, come to think of it, since you know how hard I've worked, it's okay for me to ask for a small reward, right?"

As she spoke, Sadako placed the porridge on the table, climbed onto the bed, and slowly approached Inoue Ueya. Her heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably, and the whole world seemed to slow down. Steam came out of her head, and her eyes gradually turned into mosquito coils.

"Sadako?"

Looking at Sadako who had become a little strange, Inoue Ueya's heart skipped a beat and he inexplicably had an ominous premonition, as if reminding himself that he would encounter some danger.

Suddenly, with a bang, the closed door opened again and a dark shadow rushed in.

"That's all. I will protect your chastity, my husband!"

The person who came was Yashayuki. She and other girls had been hiding outside the door from the beginning to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, in order to prevent Sadako from taking the opportunity to run away. When she heard Sadako asking Inoue Ueya for a reward, all kinds of strange images began to appear in her mind. Yashayuki finally couldn't help but take action. She decisively broke into the room and pounced on Inoue Ueya. Her speed was several points faster than Sadako.

This is not the point. The problem is that Yashayuki, who is rushing towards him, still maintains his original size!

"What are you still standing there for? Get out of the way! You'll die if you get hit like that. You'll definitely die!"

Although Arsen's reminder rang in his mind, Inoue Ueya, who was tied up like a mummy, was unable to dodge even if he wanted to. He had to cast his eyes on Sadako next to him, and found that she had not recovered at all and was completely unaware of Yashayuki's intrusion.

Very good, now even Sadako, who is usually the most reliable, is useless.

"Sachiko, don't come over here, ahhhhhhhh!"

So, as Inoue Ueya's screams came to an abrupt end, the room returned to its original calm. Until Inoue Ueya "fell asleep" again, Sadako still did not tell Inoue Ueya anything.

Although the existence of Nue has been eliminated, the opened gate of hell in Nijo Castle shows no signs of closing. It is currently temporarily sealed by the Hanakaiin family using a barrier.

Chapter 291 But I refuse!

In the vast and open space, Zeus sat on the throne, his eyes fixed on the empty screen in front of him. Seeing the sudden surge in workload, his face showed an expression of despair.

Having just received the game controller back from Mulmu Mulmu who had completed the eighth round, Zeus was about to continue his journey to the borderland, but he found himself about to return to his seat to work!

"Tsk, under normal circumstances there shouldn't be so many causes and conditions that need to be dealt with all of a sudden. That bastard Inoue Ueya is messing around again..."

Before he could finish his words, Inoue Ue appeared out of nowhere in the Cathedral of Causality. He was lying on the floor motionless, as if he had completely lost consciousness, and he was reluctant to stand up.

"This has happened for the umpteenth time! It's been less than half a day, and you're barging in again!"

As Zeus's complaints began, Inoue Ue gradually regained consciousness. A severe headache followed, and he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and cried out in pain. After the pain gradually faded away, he looked at the surrounding environment, looked up and saw the familiar figure of the god, and then he realized that his consciousness had been pulled into the Cathedral of Cause and Effect again.

"Strange, I only remember being force-fed by Sadako and listening to her tell me what happened last night. The door of the room suddenly opened, and I can't remember anything after that..."

Inoue Ueya was seen sitting cross-legged on the floor with a confused expression on his face. He always felt as if he had forgotten something. Although he wanted to recall his memory, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zeus sighed and then interrupted Inoue Ueya's recollection.

"Don't worry about meaningless things. You must be the lunatic who used the power of karma to abduct thousands of souls from Hell last night, right?"

Inoue Ueya subconsciously turned his gaze away from Zeus and stammered, "Uh, although I don't know the details, the person you are talking about should be me..."

The activation condition for the manifestation ability is imagination. Inoue Ueya doesn't even know how the ability works, but he did resurrect a large number of victims last night.

"It's a pity that I still didn't save everyone this time."

A hint of sadness flashed across Inoue Ueya's face. Even though he had used the power of cause and effect, he still couldn't bring back the disappeared Naya. That special situation where even his own existence disappeared seemed to be beyond the scope of his ability.

"You want to save the disappeared weirdo?"

Zeus, who was controlling the void screen, suddenly raised his head and looked thoughtfully at Inoue Ueya who was standing under the throne.

"Your new form that can activate the power of causality is indeed interesting, but this level of strength is far from enough to save her."

——Perhaps, now is a good opportunity.

"Inoue Ueya, inherit my godhood and become the new God of Time and Space."

It has to be said that the power displayed by Inoue Ueya this time was indeed beyond Zeus's imagination. Zeus could even feel a breath similar to his own from the power that was enough to involve cause and effect and time. That peak form had vaguely touched the realm of God.

"As long as you possess my power, you will have a lifespan beyond that of humans and a strength at the level of creation. If you wish, you can even know the past and the future. Everything in the world will be within your reach. The misfortunes brought by the singularity will disappear, and saving that forgotten monster will be a piece of cake, right?"

Once again, Zeus suggested that Inoue Ueya become the successor.

"But I refuse!"

Without waiting for Zeus to continue, Inoue Ue rejected the proposal without hesitation. There was nothing to consider. The price of inheriting the godhood was the death of Zeus. If the process required sacrificing others, no matter whether it was Zeus or Naya who died, it could not be called salvation. He would rather not have this power.

"I cannot accept this kind of power gained by sacrificing other people's lives. It's better if this kind of melodramatic plot doesn't happen in real life."

Inoue Ueya shook his head. He never forgot that the reason he needed strength was to save people. Fighting was secondary. The power displayed in the peak form was enough to deal with most situations.

"As a god, please value your own life and don't give your divinity away to others so easily!"

Zeus had anticipated Inoue Ueya's rejection and thought that deceiving, no, convincing this guy to inherit the godhood was not as easy as he had imagined.

Well, since old man Huan hasn't passed the level yet, it shouldn't matter if he lives a little longer. As for Inoue Ueya, he's still struggling with something, so it's time to tell him the truth.

Since you can't deceive the other party, you have no choice but to tell the truth.

Zeus waved his hand, and the void screen vanished without a trace. He looked at Inoue Ueya and laughed, "Alright, alright, I was just joking. Although this world is a little different from Kamen Rider's, the fact that one's existence was forgotten by everyone led to their disappearance. As the Den-O, don't you feel a sense of déjà vu about that strange situation?"

Hearing this, Inoue Ue was also stunned for a moment. When Zeus asked this, he remembered something.

"Once the weirdness is completely forgotten, it will no longer exist." The real reason for Naya's disappearance should be that her own sense of existence was replaced by the identity of the high-speed mother-in-law.

"Wait, you mean..."

According to the description of Yuyuko's memory fragments, Naya did not die at the hands of Yuyuko. To be precise, "the whole person disappeared out of thin air." It seems that there was a deviation between her thoughts and the truth from the beginning.

Seeing Inoue Ueya's expression of sudden enlightenment, Zeus nodded slightly.

"That's right, if you're talking about that weird thing that disappeared out of thin air, she never died, okay?"

After all, Zeus is the god who controls time, space and cause and effect. Based on the tracing of the power of cause and effect, he easily found Naya's whereabouts, but he had never revealed the situation to Inoue Ueya before.

Now that the battle is over, not to mention that Naya in the memory fragments, who has strength comparable to that of Yuyuko, is remembered by the monsters present, the "fear" of the high-speed grandmother disappeared along with Nue, which means that the "fear" is also affected by the power of cause and effect. Even if Zeus does not reveal the truth, it is estimated that Naya will be able to appear in front of Inoue Ueya again before long.

"Oh, right, I have one more thing I must remind you of. The events that triggered the cause and effect last night have already alarmed the people of Hell. You should be more careful and refrain from using that power carelessly recently..."

Chapter 292: Should be fine, right?

After a long time, Inoue Ueya, who was lying on the bed, regained consciousness.

Inoue Ueya was a little confused. He always felt a dull pain in his body. Even though he had been lying in bed for almost half a day, the injury became more serious, as if he had been hit by something heavy.

Before Inoue Ueya could sit up, a loud noise came into his ears. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw that the source of the noise was Sadako and Yashayuki who were standing beside him.

The two men's eyes met, as if there was an invisible spark of electricity colliding. Inoue Ueya wanted to say something, but the inexplicably solemn atmosphere made him subconsciously shut up.

"Really? You've ruined the atmosphere, you stupid cow!"

Sadako was a little angry. It was rare for her to muster up the courage to take the initiative to attack Inoue Ueya. She was just a little bit away from successfully knocking that blockhead down. At that time, she focused all her attention on Inoue Ueya and did not notice the appearance of Yashayuki. When she reacted, Inoue Ueya had already fainted because of Yashayuki's pounce.

"No, little senior, were you planning to sneak away just now?"

Yashayuki did not retreat at all, and an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her face. If she had not stayed outside the door to listen to the situation, Sadako might have succeeded. She could not let her guard down.

"I will protect your husband's chastity!"

Recalling what his mother once said, that hesitation in love would lead to failure, Yashayuki took Inoue Ueya, who was lying on the bed, into his arms.

"Humph, I won't give Zhiye to you!"

Sadako looked at Yashayuki with gritted teeth, walked over to the bed, and without saying a word reached out to pry Yashayuki's hands apart. However, Yashayuki's strength was not comparable to Sadako's. Instead, Sadako was grabbed by Yashayuki with a backhand and held in his arms.

A long-lost shadow of love appeared in Yashayuki's eyes. He had obviously entered a state of rampage, as if he was drunk, and his whole body became confused.

"Hehe, although my husband belongs to Sachiko, I don't hate you, ok?"

At this moment, Sadako, who was unable to break free, discovered that Inoue Ueya had woken up.

"Stupid Zhiye, now that you're awake, get up quickly and stop lying on this cow!"

Listening to Sadako's words, Inoue Ueya couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He thought to himself that it was not good. Now he was squeezed in between two girls. He couldn't move at all, not to mention that his body was still injured. He couldn't muster the strength to break free. He could only complain: "Don't force me. You should think of a way to wake Sachiko up, Sadako A-mu!"

As if she could hear Inoue Ueya's thoughts, Natsukawa Hanako opened the door and walked into the room with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Shut up, what the hell are you doing?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hanako realized that Yashayuki was in a state of rampage and the two people were deeply trapped in it. She was silent for a moment, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart. Then she turned around decisively and wanted to leave the scene.

"Ah la, Hanako-chan, do you want to join us too?"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Yashayuki had already grabbed Natsukawa Hanako's hand without her noticing.

"Let me go quickly, my game hasn't been saved yet!"

Hanako Natsukawa was embraced by Yasha Yuki. She felt an exceptional warmth and an inexplicable sense of security that made her instinctively give up struggling. The long-accumulated fatigue suddenly came over her.

"Hmm, is this what they call a mother's warmth..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Hanako fell asleep completely in Yashayuki's arms.

Thus, the number of victims under Yashayuki increased by one again.

……

"Whoosh..."

After a long time, the sound of even breathing came from the bed. After a while, Sadako and Yashayuki fell asleep unknowingly. Inoue Ue also took a lot of effort and finally escaped from Yashayuki's clutches.

Looking at the three girls sleeping soundly, Inoue Ue couldn't help but smile. Last night's transformation must have been a burden for them. Even if their condition was not as obvious as Inoue Ue's, fatigue would inevitably accumulate. Now was a good time for them to have a good rest.

No matter what, after learning about Naya's condition from Zeus, Inoue Ueya finally let go of the stone in his heart. This matter was closely related to him being responsible for fighting the Demon God. If the Demon God and Yuyuko had not joined forces, Naya probably would not have been defeated by Yuyuko.

As for the matter of hell, Inoue Ue didn't care much about it.

After all, even the final villain in Nue's story was sent back to hell. It's impossible for me to always encounter such high-intensity battles.

The resurrected victims were all handed over to the Hanakaiin family for care. Although the Onmyoji's abilities seemed relatively weak, the Hanakaiin family was still a family of demon exorcists with centuries of history and connections in Kyoto. Accommodating the thousand resurrected people shouldn't be a problem...

Suddenly, Inoue Ueya remembered that Hanakaiin Yuura had mentioned something about Onmyoji.

It is said that the training resources of Onmyoji are scarce and precious. The Hanakaiin family has to spend a lot of money to train more Onmyoji, so even though they are a century-old family, they are not very rich. The historical building Nijo Castle and an unknown street that collapsed in the aftermath of the battle last night also need them to take action. It is impossible to expose the existence of monsters and strange things to the eyes of ordinary people. Now they have to allocate manpower to temporarily take care of the lives of more than a thousand people. This expenditure may be a bit exaggerated. Inoue Ueya suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Uh, they should be okay, right?

In addition, the alien demon gods that cooperate with the Kyoto monsters seem to have the possibility of communication. If he can talk to them and find out the purpose of the alien demon gods, perhaps more unnecessary battles can be avoided.

There is also Yuyuko who was abducted by the Demon God. Although the target of the reversal of cause and effect is Nue, logically speaking, Yuyuko who is responsible for performing the reincarnation ritual should also be affected. Inoue Ue also resurrected all the modern victims. Under the reversal of cause and effect, it is as if Yuyuko "has never eaten any humans in this reincarnation." Moreover, she was also seriously injured in the continuous battles last night. Although she can still maintain the realm of a great monster, her strength can never be compared with the original one.

Although it is still unclear whether the reincarnation ritual can be activated again, Yuyuko, who was betrayed by Nue, probably will not have the idea of ​​executing this resurrection plan again in the short term.

On the other hand, this also means that Inoue Ue can finally take a break. Almost all the monsters in Kyoto have been wiped out. Those that should be sealed have been sealed, and those that escaped probably dare not retaliate. Iwanaga Kotoko's safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, bringing Inoue Ueya back to reality.

Chapter 293 Then there is only one answer

Inoue Ueya looked at the girls sleeping on the bed, then picked up his cell phone and walked out of the room, closed the door again, and answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Inoue."

[Hey, Inoue? Are you okay?]

Although it was an unfamiliar phone number, Inoue Ueya still recognized Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice, but for some reason her tone seemed a little surprised.
