I started Hyakki Night Walk in Tokyo

Chapter 42 Standing in the Vast World

Professor Nakata stared at the screen, his face flushed, and he waved his arms and legs in a daze, completely ignoring Minister Saito's words.

"Shuten-douji, the master of demons and monsters is actually Shuten-douji.

Something must have gone wrong in the ancient history, or I must have made a mistake in my research. The combat power of monsters is not as imagined, it is higher and higher. "

He is like a crazy old urchin.

After realizing that the monster combat power I had been studying was wrong, I was forced to chatter, thinking about how to change it, how to correct it.

Throughout, he has no regrets about his mistakes.

On the contrary, he was like a primary school student who was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night when he learned that he was going on an outing tomorrow.

At this moment, Professor Zhongtian doesn't care about inquiries from high-level police officers or high-level government officials, no matter what high-level power and money they are, he just wants to see if there are any new discoveries.

see.

Director Takahashi and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly.

It is said that scholars become crazy and no one recognizes them. This is not just talking.

Sure enough, the scholars who promote the progress of culture and science and technology are not normal people, but it is their single-minded research and their thirst for knowledge to explore the truth of ancient history and science that lead to the present era.

Until Professor Nakata's madness eased.

Minister Saito asked again.

Then Professor Nakata finally replied.

"I can't say with 100% certainty whether the Lord of Demons and Monsters is Shuten-Douji."

"Ah." Everyone had black lines all over their heads.

at this time.

Professor Nakata changed the topic.

"But there is an [-]% possibility that the master of demons and monsters is Shuten-douji.

According to many ancient historical documents that have been passed down to the present, as well as ancient manuscripts and picture books handed down by the people, whenever Ibaraki Doji is mentioned, Shuten Doji is almost always mentioned.

Their relationship is complicated and there are many versions.

I integrated the information and sorted out the two most likely relationships between Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji.

First, Ibaraki Doji is the son of Shuten Doji.

Second, Ibaraki Doji is Shuten Doji's most capable subordinate.

Of these two relationships, I personally prefer the second one, because in the versions of the relationship between Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, many versions mention that Ibaraki-douji is an abandoned baby.

According to legend, when Ibaraki Doji's mother was pregnant with him, she was pregnant for more than [-] months, so Ibaraki Doji was called a "ghost" from birth, and was disgusted by everyone, and was eventually abandoned.

in my opinion.

The first kind of relationship can actually be understood as, after Ibaraki-douji was abandoned, he became Shuten-douji's subordinate, and Shuten-douji treated him like his own son.

Therefore, Ibaraki Doji treats Shuten Doji closer than his own father. "

Everyone heard the words and suddenly realized.

"Professor Nakata, what you mean is that Ibaraki-douji is Shuten-douji's subordinate, and now the scholar monster who is suspected to be Ibaraki-douji is the master of ghosts and ghosts, so it is very likely that it is Shuten-douji, right?"

Afraid that he might misunderstand, Director Takahashi dictated his thoughts.

Professor Nakata nodded.

"Yes, and there is another reason why I am sure that the Lord of Demons and Monsters is Shuten-douji.

Documents in "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki", as well as Dr. Mizuki Shigeru and Komatsu Kazuhiko's visits to folks to collect monster stories, all say that Shuten Doji was one of the famous monsters active in the Heian period. The king of ghosts who leads all demons.

King of all ghosts, commanding all demons, such a title, don't you think it is very similar to the current Lord of Demons and Monsters? "

As soon as the words came out.

Everyone was stunned.

That's right, the lord of demons and monsters controls demon-like monsters and runs rampant in the world. Shuten-douji is a big monster in the Heian era, and he is also the king of all monsters.

Not everyone can use the title of Lord of the Demons.

In addition, the Lord of Demons and Monsters understands that Demons and Monsters do not represent the meaning of monsters, so there is nothing wrong with saying that the Lord of Demons and Monsters is the Lord of all demons.

The conference room is quiet.

Everyone looked shocked.

In other words, the lord of demons and monsters is very likely to be Shuten-douji, and if monsters invade, the lord of monsters and monsters will also join in...

"I think we should talk to Mi..."

Just when a senior government official was about to say something.

"Translate! Quickly translate what Ibaraki Doji is saying!!"

Professor Nakata, who had been paying attention to the screen all the time, roared loudly, his voice soaring.

All eyes were drawn to it.

moment!

Everyone's expression is concentrated.

……

Dusk is late, the sunset is frightening

The scholar opened his mouth lightly.

"Who is the first to make the move?"

His words are like the sounds of Huangquan in Jiuyou, taking people's lives and souls, and crying ghosts and gods in fright.

The words are short.

But the demons understood what the scholar was referring to...

Almost at the same time, all the monsters looked at Da Rudao.

They dare not speak, as if they are afraid of making a sound, their voices will tarnish the hearing of the scholar, and they seem to be afraid that they will be wiped out by the terrifying child monster as soon as they make a sound, just like the monsters before.

However, I dare not say nothing.

It can only be expressed in words and actions.

"No, no...not."

Feeling the gazes of all the monsters gather, even the three humans looked over, Daru Dao panicked, moved his huge body, and took a step back.

This retreat.

The girl and the others saw Darudao panicked and terrified, while the other monsters looked surprised at first, and then gave Darudao a look of pity.

The atmosphere was clearly speaking silently.

It's going to be miserable for Dao Dao, and it moved without permission in front of him, and it committed the crime of blasphemy.

Faced with this absurd idea popped up.

The girl and the others were not weird, but felt reasonable.

because.

That's how it should be, there's no reason, that's how it should be when facing the Supreme.

Their ideas were quickly confirmed.

"In front of the lord, the lord didn't tell you to move, how dare you act yourself?"

The child sitting on the bone scythe has a cold glint in his eyes, as if the abyss is full of cold fire, and his voice is cold, without the slightest emotion.

Scarlet Gale, strike again.

boom!

Surrounding the Great Entrance Dao, the scarlet wind surged, piercing gold and cracking rocks, shaking the space. The power was even more terrifying than the previous one. The void was torn apart and opened a series of hideous cracks. The inside was pitch black, exuding an aura that even the souls and gods were afraid of.

If you are involved, you will die, your soul will die, and you will sink into nothingness.

Everyone's scalp was numb, their blood flowed back from fear, and their faces turned pale.

"No! Don't come here!"

Daru Dao was terrified and wanted to run away.

As soon as one step is taken, the scarlet wind envelops the cage and turns into a prison of wind, locking all the way out of the Great Entrance Dao, there is no way to retreat, no way to escape.

"I fought with you!"

A roar shook the earth.

Dao Dao was crazy, he opened his arms and roared, the stars were extinguished, and the mountains and rivers were in turmoil.

Under the horrified gazes of countless people, Dao Dao's demonic aura was surging like a tsunami, and his stature was rising, rising when encountering the wind.

200 meters, 500 meters, 2000 meters, kilometers, [-] meters...

"hiss!"

Professor Nakata stared and exclaimed.

"No wonder I can't find out what kind of Dao Dao he is. It turns out that there is something hidden. He is... the Da Dao Dao that embraces the mountains in the records!"

now.

The Great Enlightenment Dao is incomparably huge, as high as ten thousand feet, with a demonic aura filling the sky, and the demonic light covering his body is panicking, covering the blue sky.

The current Dao Dao is not so much a monster, but a giant spirit god born in ancient times.

Standing in the vast sky and earth.
