I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

"After waiting for so long, my body has become stiff."

Yuzhang could not help but shake his head and sigh as he watched the monsters in the building inexplicably cheer up and start discussing with each other as soon as they heard that there was going to be a battle.

Although he has been the leader of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Ghost Night Parade for some time, he still feels a little sorry for the character of most of the monsters in the group. Apart from fighting, causing trouble and scaring people, these guys basically don't care about anything else. Not interested.

Well, this is normal. The relatively weak monsters have this kind of personality, and their behavior tends to be driven by instinct. Their main goals of action are to gain "fear" and maintain their existence, and their thinking ability is not very strong.

To put it simply, except for the monsters above cadres, the monsters in Shikoku Eighty-eight Ghost Nightwalkers are almost all idiots who like to fight...

Then, Yuzhang turned to look at the cadres standing beside him.

"Hmph, has the time finally come to show off your skills?"

I saw the hand-washing ghost clenching his fists, his expression even more excited than that of ordinary monsters.

The crochet girl didn't speak and stood silently beside her, her eyes unfocused and a shocked expression. Today's events seemed to have caused her serious frustration, especially when she saw that the men around her were becoming worse than her one after another. After becoming a good-looking girl, her self-confidence as the most beautiful girl in the Shikoku Eighty-eight Ghost Night Team no longer existed.

Not to mention Inugami and Tashiki, the most beautiful ones after transformation are Inufenghuang and Anya Xiaoseng, two monsters that did not have human form. The former turned into a sunny sister who captured people's hearts, and the latter also became a A cute little lolita, the crochet girl among the crowd has become a vaguely unpopular character in this idol group...

"..."

Night Bird was as calm as ever, and after experiencing the idol project in the morning and seeing everyone's effeminate appearance, she didn't seem to be affected in any way.

"Yuzi, have you finally decided to start a war..."

Inugami's face gradually became serious. Looking at Yuzhang's expression was like looking at someone who is about to die. Even though "Seven People Walking Together" did gain unprecedented "fear" because of this idol project, some things will be lost once they are lost. It was irreversible. Unknowingly, Yuzhang, the most powerful image in his heart, was gradually replaced by the identity of a perverted psycho who volunteered to dress up as a woman.

"Don't expose our hidden identities. I'm not Yuzi now, but Yuzhangda. Besides, what's going on with that strange look in your eyes?" Yuzhang couldn't help complaining.

Going back to the preface, Yuzhang suddenly realized that the cadres in his group did not seem to be normal monsters.

In an instant, he recalled the information he had received from his subordinates on the Nura Group, and he couldn't help but sigh. Other people's monsters seemed to be more fragrant, such as virtuous snow girls, mature big sisters, and transvestites...

"Hey, why are there so few normal monsters in my group?"

The more Yuzhang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Nuliang Rikuo was indeed his lifelong enemy. It would be better for the Nuliang group to disappear as soon as possible.

"It's decided, in tomorrow's battle, I will do my best to beat them until they open their mouths and close their eyes!" Yuzhang gritted his teeth.

…

However, Yuzhang ignored a key issue. In this Shikoku Eighty-Eight Ghost Night Walk full of stupid monsters, how could there be subordinates who can serve as the Nuragumi's informants?

The person who has been providing information to Tamaki is none other than the Hyakumonogatari team who asked Night Bird to hand over the "Demon King's Gavel" to Tamaki.

Nura Koihan, the second generation of the Nura Group, once eliminated the prototype of the Hyakumonogatari Group, Yamamoto Gorozaemon, who became a yokai, and the yokai derived from him who became a yokai are the current Hyakumonogatari Group. They are monsters born from a certain part of Yamamoto's body.

Because of the past grudges with the Nura-gumi, the Hyakumonogatari group hates the existence of the Slippery Ghost very much, and even wants to cause a conflict between the Shikoku and the Nura-gumi at any cost, even if it means hurting both sides. For them, This is also a good result. The Eighty-eight Ghosts of Shikoku Yakou are just puppets calculated by them.

"Is it finally this time? It would be great if Nura Rikuo died because of this." The short figure in the dark corner sneered.

What came out of the darkness was a short old man wearing a kimono. The size of his head looked unusually unnatural, and there was even an eyeball on his forehead that was larger than a normal human head.

This old man is a member of the Hyakumonogatari Group, the "Eye of Yamamoto", a monster named Jijizo.

"Originally, I planned to take advantage of the fight between them and then attack in secret. Unfortunately, besides the Nura group, there is another person in Chiba who is getting in the way..."

Looking at the little monster on the street who seemed to be looking for something, a look of fear appeared on Jijizo's face.

"Kotoko Iwanaga, a human being who became a god..."

In fact, during his lifetime, his true form "Yamamoto Gorozaemon" wreaked havoc on the world's "fear" during the Edo period and used rumors to create various strange things in order to make himself, a human, a powerful being like a god or Buddha. Existed, but unfortunately it backfired and he was eventually defeated, and then in desperation he had to choose to become a monster.

Chapter 133: This time, Sadako actually calculated it

"Haha, now it's really ironic. Yamamoto-sama did not hesitate to use rumors to create all kinds of weirdness and put the entire Edo period into panic. His purpose was to become the so-called "god and Buddha"..."

Jijizo shook his head. As a clone of Yamamoto Gorozaemon, he actually encountered a being who actually succeeded in doing this in modern times. Moreover, it is said that Iwanaga Kotoko's becoming a god came from the active request of the monsters. This matter is in the world of monsters. It doesn't seem to be a secret anymore, especially since she, as a "god", often accepts commissions from monsters. It can be said that except for some old monsters, most modern monsters know about the existence of Lord Cammy.

"Although she looks like a little girl, this "God of Wisdom" seems not as simple as it seems..."

Looking at the little monsters walking on the street, seemingly looking for something, Jijizo couldn't help but frown. Starting in the past few days, Iwanaga Kotoko began to send monsters to look for traces of the Eighty-Eight Ghosts of Shikoku at Night.

After all, her idea is to maintain the balance between humans and monsters. The Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Yakou appeared in Chiba to cause trouble not long ago must have been exposed, so she is now sending monsters to find the stronghold of the Shikoku forces?

Although in order to prevent her from interfering with Shikoku's actions, all the monsters that appeared were expelled by Jijizo using hypnosis. However, for some reason, he always saw different monsters appearing here every once in a while.

It's like they sensed something terrible and kept sending monsters over for some kind of testing...

…

The Inoue family.

At this time, Iwanaga Kotoko happened to be talking to Inoue Ueya about the four kingdoms.

"There are dangerous beings in the Four Kingdoms who can tamper with memories?" Inoue Ueya said in surprise.

After hearing Kotoko Iwanaga's idea, Ue Inoue was a little confused. In the original work, most of the characters in Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Walk were fighting five scum, and there were no monsters with hypnotic abilities.

Although Kotoko Iwanaga didn't notice any clues at the beginning, it wasn't until she sent monsters many times to search for the whereabouts of the four countries but there was no news that she began to notice something was wrong.

Then, she once asked Sadako to use her ability to obtain the location of the previous four countries' forces when they appeared to cause trouble through the records of the surveillance systems in the streets and stores, and thus calculated the possible range of their strongholds.

Logically speaking, even if the monsters don't find the stronghold location, they will find some clues on the road.

After repeated questioning, she found that some of the memories of the monsters sent out were a bit vague, and they even had different versions of their memories. For example, when two monsters traveling together encountered things and the characteristics of passers-by on the road, they actually said completely different things...

"Well, it's just my guess. The other party may have the ability to hypnotize, or it may have the ability to distort one's own existence. The actual ability is unknown, but now it is at least certain that the other party is helping the four countries hide their whereabouts..."

"Even if you say this, Qinzi, I will..."

Inoue Ueya suddenly felt that there was some trouble. It happened that Hachishako, the Hachishaku-sama who was immune to spells and illusions, was not at home. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to resist such a monster that could affect the target's memory.

However, the "Demon King's gavel" must be destroyed as soon as possible. Once the jade medal is defeated by Nura Rikuo, the demon sword will be taken away by the undercover Night Sparrow. The next time it will appear in the hands of Seimei who has returned from hell Inside.

Although destroying this demon sword may not necessarily have a big impact on Qingming's overall strength. After all, the opponent is an Onmyoji. What the opponent is good at cannot be close combat, right?

It's just that the demon sword "Demon King's Mallet" can absorb the "fear" of the enemy. This characteristic may indirectly make Seimei stronger. There is nothing wrong with destroying it now...

——Well, as a cautious Kamen Rider, Mr. Inoue will never miss any opportunity to weaken the enemy!

[Pfft, be careful? 】

Suddenly, Yassen's laughter came to his mind, and Inoue Zhi, who came to his senses instantly, blushed.

Just like recalling myself during the chuunibyou period, when Inoue Ueya was teased by Yassen, he still felt an inexplicable sense of shame...

Sadako sat next to them, silently listening to the conversation between the two, because their world had just been interrupted by the sudden appearance of Iwanaga Kotoko, and now she looked a little dissatisfied.

"Really, it's just a monster with spiritual abilities. If the stupid cow is not here, why not just let the otaku appear..."

"Otaku girl?"

Inoue Ueya's lips twitched slightly. Hanako is the only one in the Inoue family who can be called a homebody, right?

Fortunately, Hanako is playing games in the room now. If she hears these words, they will probably quarrel again.

"But is it really okay to let Hanako play?"

Although Hanako was not affected by the blackening at all when she was in Tenjin Elementary School, abilities such as hypnosis and memory modification should be a little different from mental pollution, right?

"No problem, I am basically immune to mental abilities..."

Hanako's voice came from behind Inoue Ueya, making him stiffen.

Inoue Ueya slowly turned around and saw her and Ku Yin standing behind him with indifferent expressions.

——It seems that Hanako didn’t hear Sadako’s words, right?

"But can you explain who the otaku is?"

Natsukawa Hanako stared at Inoue Ueya fiercely, her expression gradually becoming ferocious.

"???" Inoue Zhiya looked confused.

No, why are you staring at Mr. Inoue? It’s not like I said you are a homebody...

Suddenly, Inoue Ueya recalled the conversation just now and his pupils shrank.

——Speaking of which, Sadako seems to have never said that Hanako is a otaku, right?

Inoue Ueya seemed to have remembered something. When he raised his head and saw Miss Sadako showing a well-planned expression, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, and sweat began to break out on his forehead unconsciously.

Damn it, was Sadako calculated this time?

"Hmm, Inoue, do you have any last words you want to say?"

An unusually gentle voice came from Hanako's mouth. Although she was smiling brightly, her hands were already clenched into fists.

Inoue Ueya sighed.

"Let me state in advance that in Mr. Inoue's mind, otaku is not a derogatory term! I also like to stay at home watching animations and playing games. I am actually very happy to have a girl with similar interests to me staying at home!"

Seeing Hanako's face softening, Inoue nodded secretly and continued to add: "Yes, especially Ms. Hanako, who has gradually gained weight because she stayed at home, she looks even cuter than before!"

Chapter 134 Unless you are willing to say it

"Hmm, the possessed state I haven't seen for a long time..."

After beating Ueya Inoue, Natsukawa Hanako was obviously in a much better mood than before.

[Really, I ended up running out in the middle of the night...]

Inoue Ueya, who was possessed by Hanako, walked on the dark street, heading towards the address given by Kotoko Iwanaga.

There is really no other way. If there really are monsters in Shikoku that can control other people's minds, then it is best to go and see each other first while knowing the location.

It would be bad if this monster suddenly jumps out to cause trouble when the Nura-gumi and Shikoku are fighting. Although it is also very bad to see Hyakki Yakou and other things on the street, it is impossible to ignore the matter because of this. Is it possible that it will develop in a worse direction?

If it wasn't a monster abusing its powers, forget it, but that monster seemed to be assisting the four-nation forces that came to Chiba to cause trouble in their hidden stronghold, so it wasn't a being that could be communicated with.

"Stop blabbering. It's rare that I'm willing to take the time to go out with you to find that monster. Inoue, can you have a better attitude?"

[Okay, you have the final say...] Inoue Ueya was speechless.

"Ueya Inoue" scratched his head, looked at the deserted street, and had a bold idea in his mind.

"But...since we have predicted the possible range of the opponent's stronghold, do we still need to search in such a low-key manner?"

【ha? Hanako, what exactly do you want to say? 】

"There hasn't been a fight for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy. People are coming anyway, can't we just beat them away in one go?"

"Ueya Inoue" raised the corners of his mouth and began to mobilize the "fear" in his body, trying to sense the location of the monster nearby.

After a while, his pupils shrank, as if he had discovered something. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his heart gradually became violent. He whispered: "...Is that guy from Hyakumonogatari?"

【Hanako? 】

…

Jizo, who had been standing all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the monster no longer appeared. The eyes on his head showed a look of exhaustion unconsciously.

"Has the God of Wisdom finally decided to give up investigating the intelligence of the Four Kingdoms?"

All in all, according to the undercover Night Bird's information, Shikoku will go to war with the Nura group tomorrow night, and he doesn't need to continue doing such things here.

"Since no monsters have come, that means my work here is over, right? All that's left is to enjoy the good show of the monster forces on both sides fighting each other. Let's not ask Yuzhang, an arrogant guy, to successfully kill Nuliang. Rikuo, at least let the "Demon King's Hammer" absorb his blood when he transformed into a monster, then this operation can be considered a profit..."

However, just as Ji Jizo was about to leave, he heard unfamiliar footsteps.

Looking up, I saw a human with bristled hair and red eyes looking around, seemingly looking for something.

"Is it just a human? Then don't worry..."

Jijizo continued to take steps, preparing to leave the scene, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stood stiffly on the spot.

Incredibly strong murderous aura came from behind Ji Jizo, and the aura emanating locked him directly in an instant, as if he was being targeted by terrifying existences from different dimensions. The indescribable malice made him feel suffocated. , a sense of fear instantly occupied his whole body.

Under normal circumstances, when a creature is frightened, it may choose to run away or fight back against the opponent driven by instinct. However, at this time, Ji Jizo stood motionless, neither escaping nor fighting back. He used his remaining sanity to suppress his instincts.

Ji Jizo had a premonition that if he ran away, the existence standing behind him would eliminate him in an instant.

"Hyakumonogatari Group..." "Ueya Inoue" said through gritted teeth.

Natsukawa Hanako seemed to know the existence of the Hyakumonogatari group, and her reaction was a little unusually excited.
