Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Just walking around this night, Chen Zhao felt the presence of monsters nearby at least ten times.

Chen Zhao didn't know what kind of chaos Tokyo was in now.

But it’s certain that the government’s head is about to explode.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Zhao looked at Lian and Cang.

"Your brother has been rescued, so where is the thing you promised me? Bring it."

"He is still unconscious from the medicine, and the medicine bag is in his stomach. He needs to wait until he wakes up before he can take it out."

Chen Zhao's face darkened. How big was the medicine bag?

It's actually hidden in the stomach.

"West, please supervise them and don't let them escape."

"Well, I'll let Moore watch." West is also an old fox.

It's better to leave this kind of thing to others.

But there’s no need to look too closely.

Because it is not an exaggeration to say that the outside world is in chaos.

The three of them said whether they were strong or not, and whether they were weak or not.

But I'm afraid of being watched by someone with intentions.

That would be fine if it were a human being.

The worst thing is to be caught as a shikigami.

Or seal it up.

But if you are targeted by monsters.

Maybe use them as snacks.

"Dad, where's the mouse? Where's the big mouse?" Little Gelin ran in again.

Fali followed behind, her expression obviously not very good.

She is afraid of rats and hates them.

Don't ask why.

Little Gelin had already run up to Cang and Lian, reaching out to grab their tails.

She doesn't know what fear is.

In Little Gelin's view, pets as big as the family can play together.

Rats certainly do too.

Fali stood next to Chen Zhao and whispered: "If little Ge Lin talks about raising them, you can secretly kill them. They must not appear in our house anyway."

Cang and Lian shivered.

They are monsters, and they heard Fali's voice.

Chen Zhao kicked Cang and Lian: "Do you understand English?"

"We are over three hundred years old, three of us are nine hundred years old. If one of us learns something, the other one can also learn it. The three of us have several master's degrees alone. Do you think English is a problem for us?" Something?"

"Why are you so arrogant? Do you believe I will sacrifice you to the demon sword?" Chen Zhao sneered.

Cang and Lian stopped talking, who made Chen Zhao's fist bigger.

Cang, Lian and Yao were placed in an empty room.

Little Gelin didn't dislike it at all.

But most of the people in the association couldn't bear to live with rats under the same roof.

Fali usually gave little Gelin the impression of being a loving mother, but when it came to the problem of mice.

She was uncharacteristically not allowing little Gelin to raise mice anyway.

…

Aokigahara forest sea, suicide forest.

Originally, this place was a suicide mecca in the world.

However, there are still a small number of tourist groups that regard this place as a tourist attraction.

But now it is completely forbidden to enter.

This place has been shrouded in fog since two months ago.

Several tourist groups have disappeared in the forest area before.

In fact, today's Aokigahara forest sea has been completely surrounded.

All the major shrines dispatched elites to set up barriers here.

To the southeast of the Aokigahara forest is the headquarters of the Tokyo Grand Shrine.

Thirty psychics set up a barrier here.

The leader was a girl who looked like a high school student.

In fact, she is a high school student and a candidate for shrine maiden at the Tokyo Grand Shrine.

Nagasaka Reiko, the daughter of the holy monk.

She is also the granddaughter of Yoko Shiro.

Most shrines in Japan are run and passed down through family inheritance.

Of course, normally the witch and the host are the leaders.

One is inside, the other is outside.

However, the two belong to two completely different clergy systems.

One is Shinto, which mainly serves the Tianjin Protoss, led by Amaterasu.

The other one is a Buddhist, and of course he serves the Buddha.

However, this combination is not uncommon among Japanese shrines.

Although there are religious disputes in Japan, they are generally not intense.

They can even blend into each other, as is the case with Tokyo Grand Shrine.

Miko are similar to God’s spokespersons, so in many cases, their words represent God’s will.

The shrine maidens of some shrines are specific, and even in order to maintain the purity of their bloodlines, they all adopt intra-clan marriages to give birth.

Just like the Japanese royal family, the royal family in the past used intermarriage within the clan to ensure their bloodline.

The Tokyo Grand Shrine does not have such a requirement. For example, the current shrine maiden Yoko Hakuhi has a foreign surname.

However, Yoko Hakuhi is an extremely powerful psychic in her own right.

Coupled with his prominent background, he is also Zhang Tianyi's student.

To put it bluntly, she is equivalent to returning from studying abroad in the supernatural world.

Therefore, it was natural to marry into Nagasaka and take over the duties of a shrine maiden.

"Damn it, the miasma is expanding outward again." Nagasaka Reiko cursed: "Retreat one kilometer back."

Although they have set up a barrier here to prevent the spread of miasma.

But the effect it can have is very unclear.

"Miss, the miasma is growing particularly fast this time. I'm afraid that one kilometer is not enough. We need to retreat at least five kilometers." The person who spoke was Nagasaka Reiko's retainer.

Each generation of miko has its own retainers and followers.

Just like the change of government, those in power will have their own leadership team.

Of course, to win over retainers and followers, you need to have sufficient ability and personal charm.

"Then evacuate five kilometers." Nagasaka Reiko said with an ugly face: "By the way, report the situation here to grandma."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front.

"what happened?"

"A group of monsters want to break through our defenses and enter the miasma."

"Damn bastards, kill them all." Nagasaka Reiko had a hot temper, and now she was in a depressed mood.

Just as there is a cult of personality in human society, there is also a cult among monsters.

There are always some youkai who feel that Tamamo Mae's appearance can change the current situation of youkai.

So I can’t wait to come and pledge my allegiance to you.

This isn't the first batch of monsters either.

Several groups of monsters came one after another with the same idea.

At this moment, a bird monster roared into the mist in the sky.

Not long after the bird monster disappeared into the miasma, a miserable cry was heard.

"A bunch of idiots." Nagasaka Reiko said with a dark face.

When these monsters enter the miasma, they also cannot escape their bad luck.

They thought they could hold it up to their thighs, but in fact they just became nourishment for the killing stone.

Does Tamamo-mae care about the allegiance of these ants?

Obviously not. To him, there is no essential difference between these weak monsters and humans.

At this time, the miasma spread out a little more.

Nagasaka Reiko quickly led people to retreat backwards.

If they also fall into the miasma, it will also be very troublesome.

Currently, there is only one person who can freely enter and exit the miasma, Zhang Tianyi.
