Chapter 79: Shuten-Doji

By the order of President Trump, the American warships heading from the US military bases in South Korea and the Philippines to the Japanese coastal ports for the investigation were unable to do anything from sea because it was misty in Japan’s offshore waters and it lacked the assistance of lighthouses and the satellite signal navigation of Japanese ports, thus these American warships didn’t dare to break into the misty sea……

If they accidentally bumped into reefs and merchant ships, the loss would be incredibly severe .

Originally, the best response was for the White House to mobilize the largest US military base situated in Yokohama, Japan, but Japan seemed to be inside the interference of an EMP and had lost all communications and hundreds of US military bases in Japan seemed to have lost contact with the White House in just one day!

In fact, these warships also sent several teams with a total of about 100 people five hours ago to the misty sea to explore, but until now, none of the ships or anyone who entered the misty sea had returned .

This incredible abnormality made commander no longer dare to send the warships, instead, he kept reporting to the White House to request reinforcements and specific responses .

Time passed by and it was already late at night .

During the peacetime, Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, was really a bustling place, but today, such a global mega city was lifeless as no one dared to walk on the streets .

Of course, the tsukumogamis transformed by abandoned things, such as chargers, mops and fans, could be seen everywhere .

At the end of the streets, demons with bodies of paper frogs, teapots, smoke, shadows and blonde dolls were active .

Late at eleven o’clock, the onmyojis still had no time to take a rest since the signs before appearance of Shuten-doji that Hu Feng deliberately designed started .

The ruthless scarlet moonlight was scattered on the ground, the dark clouds approached the earth and the green mist kept tumbling, as if something invisible was going to come out and an eerie atmosphere filled the vast land of Japan .

Freezing wind began to blow as many tall buildings in Tokyo were corroded by the wind .

The high-rise buildings with reinforced concrete became old-fashioned tile wall in the process of corrosion and the street trees planted on the roadsides were sharply shrinking, becoming strange trees with claws in a short time .

Moreover, the villas were also transformed into thatched houses……

Throughout Tokyo, such a situation began to spread from the most central area, as if all buildings were aging and decaying .

Although the wind currently hadn’t hurt the ordinary people and the onmyojis yet, no one dared to take it easy .

Seeing this, the onmyojis in Tokyo also communicated with each other anxiously .

“I am an onmyoji in Toshima District . Do you have any changes in the residential area where you are located?”

“Does anyone know what is happening in Tokyo now? I am in Bunkyo, why are all the buildings decaying and aging?”

Looking through the forum in the endowing notebooks, a lot of posts aroused the attention of Sumika .

“What does this mean? I don’t dare to sleep tonight . ”

“After all, before the appearance of ghosts, demons and tsukumogamis, didn’t the abnormal phenomena such as dark sky, misty and scarlet moonlight took place? Maybe this is the warning of the appearance of a new powerful monster!”

“So I remind everyone to patrol at night even if you want to rest, otherwise the new powerful monster once appears, you would likely be attacked . ”

At half past eleven, an eccentric and vague voice began to sound on every inch of land in Tokyo and faintly spread to the ears of every Japanese citizen and onmyoji .

At first, the harsh voice was very fast, even the onmyojis in Tokyo who applied spells that enhanced their hearing sense couldn’t understand the contents .

But as it approached midnight, the voice became more clear and audible, thus numerous Japanese people and onmyojis in Tokyo finally understood what the voice was saying .

From start to finish, it kept repeating the very same word!

To be precise, it was a famous monster name in the Japanese folklore!

“Shuten……Shuten-doji!”

With a serious expression and biting her lower lip, Sumika repeatedly confirmed that she didn’t make a mistake and couldn’t help but mutter .

As one of the three most famous monsters in Japanese culture, there were countless versions of the legend of Shuten-doji, but all the versions showed one thing – Shuten-doji was the king of ghosts!

It was never a monster that got along with people!

It became a beautiful young boy to defraud the girl as a slave, or simply led a group of ghosts to capture and eat women and children, even forced someone to take away the daughter of the wealthy nobles’ family……

In addition, it was very difficult to deal with!

At the end of some versions of the legend, it was said that the great onmyojis Abe no Seimei personally confronted it and chopped off its head with the help of 5 great swordsmen and thousands of ordinary warriors .

In some versions, it was said that the general Minamoto no Yorimitsu led the regular army to fight against it by the order of the emperor, however, they not only didn’t directly attack it, but spent time visiting many shrines and three elders to gain rich life experience, so that they eventually came up with a plan to offer poisonous wines to paralyze it and killed it .
