I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 14 Factory Workers' Safety Helmets
On the dim lawn, Uesugi Tetsu sat up, covering his head with his hands, trembling slightly.

There was suddenly an extra head on my neck, which made my body feel a little uncomfortable.

Uesugi Toru is probably dead.

However, before being smashed to pieces, he used his deathrattle to take away two sturdy farmers, gaining a full 60 soul ash points, which was already a win.

As for why not harvest 90 soul ash points?
——A powerful iron hoe came down from behind, directly causing the head of Uesugi Tetsu that was biting on the neck of another farmer to explode, leaving him still sitting there with an aftertaste.

"It hurts. It really fucking hurts."

Uesugi Che carefully touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was still the original one he used and 99% new.

He was afraid that the thing on top would suddenly explode.

However, after this death, his soul ash reserves have reached 135 points, which is enough for him to do ten consecutive draws.

Not only that.

[You have experienced combat, and your proficiency in the Qi He Jutsu fragments has increased by +6!]

[You have experienced combat, your natural rational flow proficiency +3! ]

After the final desperate battle with the three farmers, the proficiency of the two skills also increased a lot. It can be said that it was a fruitful harvest.

Now the upgrade progress of Xiao Banruo has reached 20%. In less than a day, Uesugi Tetsu feels that his future has become a prosperous scene.

"Let's draw a card first."

After a simple single draw, Uesugi Che happily obtained the Soul-Resting Incense Ash +1.

However, he originally came here for the soul-resting incense ash, but now this thing has become a consumable for practicing the natural rational flow.

As for why it cannot be used when practicing Qihejutsu, Uesugi Tetsu is not clear about the principle. He can only think that the fragments of Qihejutsu are too low-level and do not meet the conditions for use.

The next resuscitation attempt will not resume until ten hours later.

Uesugi Tetsu decided to go home for a meal first, and then sleep soundly until he woke up naturally.

……

"Dad, I'm back."

After greeting his father who was still watching the game, Uesugi Che thought to himself that it was a good thing that the other party was not a fan of his hometown team, otherwise he would not be able to watch the game so quietly. Hong Wen would have warned him long ago.

Although he didn't get a reply from his father, Uesugi Tetsu didn't care. He just took out a pork chop bento box that cost a thousand yen from the convenience store and started to gobble it up.

After dinner, Uesugi Tetsu took out the Nanjo doll from his schoolbag and hung it at the door.

Staring at the rag doll with a slightly exaggerated expression, Uesugi Che was a little dazed.

Normally, he wouldn't remember such a small thing so clearly. Why did he remember to take the doll out of his schoolbag and hang it up today?
"strangeness……"

Uesugi Che looked at the doll for a few more seconds. Was it the mental influence it exerted on him?

Faced with this unusual situation, Uesugi Tetsu didn't think about figuring it out alone, but directly tapped Nanjo Aimi twice on the line.

[Tsukisana-chan: Nanjo-nee, will the doll you gave me have a mental influence on me?]

After waiting for a long time without even seeing the "read" message, Uesugi Tetsu shook his head. He guessed that Nanjo Aimi was still busy with work and had no time to take out her mobile phone.

"It's come to this, let's go to sleep first."

When you wake up, you should be able to see Sister Nanjo and the netizens’ response to you: “Go to work!”

The time of deep sleep passes by like a flash.

If Uesugi Tetsu hadn't confirmed on his phone that it was already the next morning, he would have continued to lie down and dream.

I woke up in the morning, feeling groggy.

That would naturally mean entering the ordinary world and using the smell of thatch and sulfur to refresh one's mind.

After putting on the Laughing Prajna mask, Uesugi Tetsu immediately performed an epic lung-thumping move and then shouted:
"Refreshing!"

With the help of Changshi and Xiao Banruo, he successfully turned on the computer in just ten seconds. This was much easier than before when he had to wake up three or four times due to the torture of the alarm clock.

For this life, Uesugi Tetsu decided to temporarily change his exploration strategy.

The goal wasn't to trade lives for soul ash, but to explore as much of the Arakawa Village map as possible while staying alive, ideally encountering a few NPCs with whom to communicate. Because there was no sun in the conventional sense, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't use time to determine the directions of east, south, west, and north.

The side quest mentions the "Ksitigarbha statue in the south of the village". The prerequisite for completing the quest is at least to find the quest location.

"Let's go towards the factory first."

Uesugi Tetsu's guess is that since there are "polluted farmers" on the map, there should naturally be ghosts and monsters related to "industry".

The more industrialized a place is, the higher the chance of encountering communicative beings should be...

Weird.

Uesugi Tetsu stood in the shadow of the narrow townhouse, looking at the two "oppressed factory workers" wearing "tube-sode haori" who were roaring and wrestling with each other not far away, and sighed.

He listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what language came out of these two guys' mouths.

Uesugi Tetsu gripped the axe tightly.

In that case, I can only let you turn into ashes that are useful to me.

After observing for a while, it seemed that both workers were exhausted. They let go of each other and collapsed on the gravel ground, but they were still looking at each other "affectionately" and seemed still unwilling to give in.

Uesugi Tetsu knew that the opportunity had come.

Now the pale yellow aura floating above the heads of the two workers has turned into a thin white mist, which means that they can hardly pose any threat to themselves.

He fixed his vision, held his breath and approached quietly.

When the distance was about ten meters, Uesugi Tetsu deliberately kicked a stone with his toes, causing the eyes of the workers on both ends to turn towards him instantly.

Then the smile that Laughing Prajna always maintained came into play.

Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Tetsu used all his strength to activate the Qihe technique, found the angle where the two heads were in a straight line, and sent out the axe in one fell swoop.

A sticky feeling came from the blade.

However, the worker monsters were obviously not as resilient as the farmer monsters, and both monsters were killed with one blow.

"The knife is too blunt."

Uesugi Che shook his head. If he hadn't used all his strength without considering the consequences, the blade would probably have been stuck in the skull of the first worker monster.

You killed the wandering spirit "Oppressed Factory Worker" and obtained 10 soul ash.

You killed the wandering spirit "Oppressed Factory Worker" and obtained 12 soul ash.

You obtained the "Damaged Safety Helmet for Factory Workers."

"It's a pity that my skill proficiency didn't increase."

With a sigh, but without any regret on his face, Uesugi Che clicked on the attributes of the newly-released equipment.

【Safety helmet for factory workers】

【Quality: Damaged】

[Effect: None]

[——One of the factory workers' work clothes, including a jacket, trousers, and boots.]

It's a piece of junk with no attribute bonus at all. If it were given to him in real life, he wouldn't even accept it.

But I'd better keep it for now, I never know when I might need it.

After taking another look into the bustling factory, Uesugi Tetsu decided to retreat first.

Are you kidding? You can spot dozens of factory workers at a glance. The only fate of going in now is to be smashed into a pulp.

If this were really a game, it would probably say "The level of the area ahead is too high, please come back to explore later."

Uesugi Tetsu specifically chose a different route to return from.

After walking for a while, Uesugi Tetsu, who was about to look for a large field and a "white scarecrow", unexpectedly heard a "dong dong dong" sound.

He turned his gaze and discovered that the sound came from an exquisitely decorated townhouse.
