I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

——What a joke, my future figure will be exactly the same as hers now?

However, as the other party told her all kinds of unknown black history, she immediately believed his identity.

Next, she was faced with various high-intensity exercises. Recently, she even asked her future self to go to school in her place, while she concentrated on staying at home and exercising herself.

Future Yukino shook her head and replied, "I don't know. The current timeline has completely deviated from the original history."

It is worth mentioning that the other self in front of him seems to have never practiced spiritual power. It is said that it is because "they" changed the timeline, so the current Yukino has the opportunity to come into contact with this extraordinary power.

Chapter 107 Timeline

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, staring at her future self, and then asked, "Changed the timeline? You finally said something important, so is this why you are gradually disappearing now?"

"Correct. In my timeline, due to an accident, Ueya-kun and I were involved in the incident concerning Tenjin Elementary School..."

"Tian Shen Elementary School?"

"Well, a different dimension with a lot of evil spirits."

At this point, there is no need to hide the past.

The future Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes and began to recall the past.

"At that time, Ueya-kun used a 'Personality' that had awakened from nowhere, and with the help of Yasin's power, he transformed into Kamen Rider Den-O and continued to fight against the Demon God."

Unlike the current Inoue Ueya, the one she knew was gloomy and withdrawn, and he was also a otaku.

"Simply put, he always looked like he was one step away from sudden death, but he had to stand up and fight."

As she spoke, the corners of Yukino's mouth curled up slightly, as if she remembered something. She still clearly remembered that when she was being chased by the evil spirits in Tenjin Elementary School, Inoue Ueya looked really handsome when he rescued her.

Of course, his reaction to being scared is also very funny.

At that time, Inoue Ue had never signed any contract with anyone other than Arsen, and he didn't know the girl named Iwanaga Kotoko.

The "God of Weird Wisdom" intervened in the Tenjin Elementary School incident early because of a commission. When Inoue Ueya and Yukinoshita Yukino accidentally broke into Tenjin Elementary School, she had already died tragically in that strange space and appeared in front of them as a ghost.

Unfortunately, Inoue Ue had no effective means to harm the ghost. The ability of the personality mask seemed to be suppressed by that alien space. All he could do was to ensure that his mental state would not be forced into a dark state.

In the end, all he could do was to barely save Sachiko Shinozaki and escape from the alien space with other living people. He couldn't change history at all.

Not only Inoue Ueya and Yukinoshita Yukino who accidentally entered Tenjin Elementary School, but also several students from "Kiragi Gakuen". Coincidentally, there was a girl named Shinozaki Ayumi among them, who seemed to be a distant relative of Shinozaki Sachiko.

After escaping from Tenjin Elementary School, Ayumi Shinozaki heard about the Book of Shadows from somewhere. She heard that the book could resurrect those who died in Tenjin Elementary School. Then she ran to the long-abandoned house of Yoshie Shinozaki to look for the whereabouts of the evil book.

This also led to a series of events that happened later. A few months after the "Tenjin Elementary School" incident, the "Book of Shadows" appeared out of nowhere and almost destroyed the entire world.

Yukino in the future is very afraid of this evil book. Unlike herself in the present timeline, she has followed Inoue Ueya several times into the "Tenjin Elementary School", an alternate dimension created by the wisdom recorded in the Book of Shadows, to carry out rescue operations.

Time confusion, multiple spaces, and even time travel, she witnessed Shinozaki Sachiko use such power to resurrect the dead who died in Tenjin Elementary School.

That book records the ability to control time and space. Although this power seems to be limited to the created alternate space, Yukino has fully understood the terrifying nature of the author of that book, the Nirvana Witch.

At that time, an exceptionally powerful demon god appeared and snatched the Book of Shadows from Ayumi Shinozaki. Relying on his body, which was far superior to that of an ordinary person, he didn't need to worry about the backlash of his evil spells. He used the magic in the book wantonly, attempting to merge the concepts of the two worlds of life and death...

If it succeeds, the world will definitely fall into chaos, so after Inoue Ue learned about the situation, he immediately decided to stop it.

Although he successfully defeated the strange demon, Inoue Ue was also affected by the evil magic and fell down.

"He said that after he got the belt from Den-O, he was actually very happy. He had been looking forward to encountering his own demon gods, just like the four in the original work, so he kept looking forward to it with hope until the very last moment..."

Besides that, he also felt very guilty.

Because even with the power he gained, he still couldn't help everyone around him. For example, at Tianshen Elementary School, he witnessed many victims, including some of his classmates...

"He said that if he were stronger, he might be able to save more people."

The future Yukino still clearly remembers the lost look of Inoue Ueya at the end, speaking incoherent words and complaining to her and Kato Megumi.

"Well, that's roughly how it happened. So, Kato Megumi and I traveled back a few years, and I had the younger Kato Megumi fight the Demon God on Ueye-kun's behalf, brought him into contact with various urban legends, created opportunities for him to meet Iwanaga Kotoko, and guided him to enter Tenjin Elementary School early. It really took a lot of effort..."

"...Is it really necessary to go to this extent? Even if it means your own disappearance? Don't you regret it?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes. She felt that the other self in front of her was gradually beyond her imagination.

Hearing this, the cold expression on Future Yukino's face gradually disappeared, like melting ice, replaced by a bright smile full of sunshine. "Even the coldest snow woman can still make people feel warm." This is what Ueya-kun once said to me. Although his eyes were a little strange when he said this, I still remembered this sentence firmly in my mind.

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about it carefully and her expression became a little hesitant.

——I always feel that this sentence is a bit strange. Could it have some meaning?

"Even if I can't become the 'sun' that shines brightly for everyone, at least I succeeded in changing the gloomy Ueya-kun. So I won't regret it. Just like now, after changing the timeline, seeing that Ueya-kun seems to be happier than I imagined, my heart feels very satisfied."

What was rare was that she didn't complain this time, but silently watched her future self gradually disappear.

"The current situation should be considered the best outcome. Zhiye-kun has gathered a lot of reliable people around him, and he no longer needs me to guide him in secret..."

Then, the future Yukino opened her eyes and looked at her other self.

"By the way, regarding the future, remember to keep it a secret to prevent that idiot from doing anything stupid."

After hearing something that shocked her heart, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression gradually became one of disbelief.

——Is the girl in front of me really herself?

Even though her behavior was not as dazzling as Haruno's, Yukinoshita Yukino felt that the person in front of her had completely surpassed her sister in her impression. She truly felt the strong belief that came from the heart.

"...I understand. I'll keep it a secret."

Chapter 108 Don't Worry

Inoue Ueya walked out of the hospital and looked around, as if looking for something.

"I heard there's an ancestral hall in the woods next to this hospital..."

This week's system task is surprisingly simple. It just requires Inoue Ueya to find a small shrine near the hospital. The reward is a Namba cane.

Although it was a bit puzzling, Inoue Ueya had inquired about the information in the hospital. It was said that there was a small shrine in the woods outside the hospital. As long as you pray, your body will recover faster.

Kuin followed behind Inoue Ueya, a little puzzled by the small shrine's claims. "Is it really so magical that one can recover health just by praying? Doesn't it require a price?"

In addition to recovering her past memories, she also recalled a lot of her past research on power and conceived many techniques. There was even no shortage of powerful spells in the Book of Shadows, such as reversing time and creating new spaces. However, most of them had not been experimented with and were only in the theoretical stage. For example, the special multiple space in "Tenjin Elementary School" created by Sachiko Shinozaki was one of them.

Behind the appearance of miracles, there is often a heavy price to pay.

Kuin knew this clearly, and for this reason, she subconsciously felt a certain degree of vigilance towards the small shrine that Inoue Ueya mentioned.

"Prayers and the like, this kind of thing should be very common, right? It's probably just a way to make people feel at ease. After all, many people tend to believe in the existence of gods."

"Another god? How annoying..."

Kuin frowned, an expression of disgust unconsciously showing on his face.

Looking at Kuin's expression, Inoue Ue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, Inoue Ueya felt that except for his fractured left hand, his injuries were almost healed. However, because Miss Sadako was worried that there might be problems with his head injury and she strongly opposed his discharge, he decided to stay in the hospital for the time being.

Fortunately, there seems to be no news about the appearance of the alien demon god recently, so he can concentrate on healing his injuries.

Anyway, it was a bit boring to stay in the ward all the time. Just when he saw the mission update, he went out for a walk. After all, Kuin and Yasen could attach themselves to him at any time, so he probably wouldn't encounter any danger, right?

but……

Since there are weird things in this world, does that mean there are also gods?

Inoue Ueya suddenly thought of Iwanaga Kotoko, and the curiosity on his face instantly disappeared without a trace. There was already a "god" in his family, although he felt that the other party was more like an ordinary girl...

"Well, the definition of gods here is probably very different from that in the West, so it's best if you don't take it too seriously."

After leaving the hospital, Inoue Ueya looked up at the stars in the dark night sky and nodded with satisfaction, "The real night sky is not as dark as in dreams. No matter what, there will always be a ray of light in the darkness..."

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya turned around and looked at Kuin with a slight smile.

"Don't worry, even if it means going up against the gods, Mr. Inoue will always stand by your side, so you don't need to feel uneasy."

After hearing what Inoue Ueya said, Kuin finally came to his senses, then lowered his head and gently pushed his back forward.

"...Enough, enough. Jingye, don't you want to visit that small shrine? Then leave early and return early. Don't forget that your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you need to rest well!"

"Oh, I know, I know."

We walked all the way to the small ancestral hall near the hospital. No strange creatures suddenly appeared, and the process was smoother than expected.

"Look, nothing happened, right?" Inoue Ueya shrugged.

Even though he would occasionally encounter monsters and strange things, the world today was probably not as scary as Quin had imagined.

He took a closer look at the small shrine in front of him. It was about half the height of his foot, and Inoue Ueya's first impression was that it was old.

It seemed as if it had not been cleaned for a long time. The small ancestral hall was entangled with weeds and a layer of dust could be vaguely seen covering the surface.

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya frowned unconsciously, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and squatted down. "Although some people know about this small shrine, it doesn't seem to be very popular?"

Now that everyone is here, let's clean up the small shrine in front of us.

Just where Inoue Ueya didn't notice, a stone statue of Jizo walked out from the bushes.

Xiu Yi Shen looked at the boy who was cleaning the small shrine in front of him, and suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed a malicious smile.

Its existence is a natural enemy of the land god. It has the ability to seize the "fear" from the land god and can cast a vicious curse by pulling the target's sleeve. Although its frontal combat capability is not strong, it is the most critical existence in the plan of the Shikoku monsters to attack the Nura group, because most of the "fear" of the Nura group comes from the land god. As long as they are all dealt with, the Nura group will definitely be seriously injured.

Having said that, for ordinary humans, the Sleeve God is still a dangerous existence.

Because of the task assigned to it by Yu Zhang, it was clearing out the land gods near Qianye. Unfortunately, the land gods near the hospital seemed extremely weak and were not worth devouring at all.

Originally, Sodeiroi God was planning to leave immediately, but after seeing Inoue Ueya cleaning the small shrine in front of him, he changed his mind.

Monsters like "monsters" need "fear" to maintain their existence, and they also need "fear" to become stronger. For them, humans are the best prey because they are weak but have intelligence, which means that monsters can easily obtain a lot of "fear" from them.

Of course, special beings like Onmyoji are exceptions, but Xiuyi Shen just doesn't believe that he will be so unlucky.

According to Yuzhang's information, the most dangerous existences in Chiba are only two forces - the "God of Wisdom" and the Nura Group.

It's said that the Goddess of Wisdom places great importance on the balance between humans and monsters, and she possesses an incredibly powerful companion. Many monsters and ghosts have reported witnessing a terrifying scene where a man at the Goddess of Wisdom summons a high-speed train from thin air, then smashes the evil monsters into a mosaic...

Without thinking too much, Sode-goddess walked behind Inoue Ueya and grabbed his sleeve.

Chapter 109: Think more optimistically

The Sougi God grinned ferociously and began to release his "fear", then reached out and grabbed Inoue Ueya's sleeve.

"Human! Give me your sleeves!"

"what?"

Without thinking too much, Inoue Ue also felt someone pulling him, so he subconsciously turned around and looked at the other person.

"Fuck!"

When Inoue Ueya discovered that the person holding him was actually a stone statue of Ksitigarbha with a strange smile on its face, he couldn't help but exclaimed and subconsciously took a few steps back, instinctively trying to shake off the hand that was holding him.

However, this action directly activated the power of the Sleeve God.

Different monsters have different abilities. For example, Nura can temporarily erase its own presence, Yuki Onna can manipulate and summon ice and snow, and Sodegi's ability is to curse.

The curse of the Sleeve God is an ability that requires specific conditions to be met before it can be activated. First, it needs to ask the target for the sleeve, and then be "rejected", then it can cast a curse on the other party.

Although the conditions required are rather troublesome, once the curse is cast, the victim usually does not survive beyond the next day.

"I saw you trying to break free just now, didn't you? That means you 'rejected' my request. From this moment on, my 'fear' will be activated..."

Visible black gas emanated from the Sode God and quickly wrapped around Inoue Ueya.

"Hehehe, don't blame me, it's all your fault for rejecting me..."

Looking at the strange existence in front of him, Inoue Ue also vaguely remembered the things about the Sode God.

——I see, has the story over there already reached the Shikoku arc without us noticing?

Inoue Ueya frowned.

The matter about Kuin had just come to an end, and now he was about to encounter a new monster force?

By the way, how much time is left before Yuyuko attacks Kyoto?

Tsk, after such a long time, my memory of the plot has finally become fuzzy...

It seems that I must go to Kyoto early to take a look, otherwise it will be too late to intervene when the plot happens.
