I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 29 The First Wave Approaches, a Fork in the Road of Destiny

"Why don't these two guys say a word?"

提着滴答粘稠血液的竹剑，璃璃子不解地看着地上两个已经被揍得不成人样，却还在呢喃着“爱”“众生皆苦”之类话语的教众。

After the beating, her hands were numb.

But it seemed to have no effect on them at all, and they couldn't get any useful information out of them.

"——The reason why cultists are cultists is because most of them have abnormal brains."

The voice without any emotion approached quickly, causing the two believers to tremble subconsciously and stop their constantly moving mouths.

When they saw the living Nanjo Aimi walking towards them, they stopped muttering and their eyes suddenly became clear.

"It seems I'm quite famous." Nanjo Aimi curled her lips, then glanced at Lilizi: "Too gentle, you still want to get information out of them like this?"

The corner of Lilizi's mouth twitched, but she was speechless.

There was something wrong with her fighting this time, but there was nothing she could do. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't defeat the mentally ill followers.

"I heard you ran into these two cultists by chance?" Nanjo Aimi snapped his fingers, and the Rugui, who had just cleaned up the corpse of the Flying Head Barbarian in the distance, floated over. "Well done, but too reckless."

Ru Gui was suspended in the air, staring excitedly at the two silent followers with an impatient look in his eyes.

Just as Lilizi was about to retort, Uesugi Tetsu interrupted in time: "I'm sure."

Nanjo Aimi paused subtly and nodded: "That's good."

"Next, I will teach you two a lesson."

Facing the scrutiny of Uesugi Tetsu and the other man, Nanjo Aimi said calmly, "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself."

At some point, the exits on both sides of the alley had been covered by light rain, temporarily isolating the alley from reality.

Having completed this difficult task, Hiyabo floated over staggeringly and quickly dived into Rugui's white clothes.

Nanjo Aimi looked down at the two silently trembling followers with a dull look, like a chef staring at two ugly, wriggling lumps of meat.

"Don't look away, watch carefully."

she says.

——Thirty minutes later.

"They're selecting ordinary people with high emotional fluctuations within the Arakawa District and directly enticing them to join the club or planting seeds. It's the same rhetoric, but the scope and number are getting bigger and bigger."

"But I was lucky enough to find out the location of another den."

Nanjo Aimi casually threw two white gloves covered with tiny pieces of tissue on the ground and stretched.

However, Uesugi Tetsu was not in the mood to appreciate the graceful curves at this moment. He suppressed the churning feeling in his stomach and looked at Ririko beside him.

He asked, "Want to eat dinner?"

Lilizi's face turned pale and she took a deep breath: "Eat it, why not eat the free dinner?"

Nanjo Aimi smiled with satisfaction and clapped her hands: "Okay, enough flirting. I didn't interrogate them for so long just to see this."

Uesugi Tetsu: "So, Nanjo-san, you want to tell us that Arakawa District is becoming increasingly dangerous these days, and you want us to move somewhere else?"

"Bingo! Uesugi-san, you are really smart!" Nanjo Aimi smiled and rubbed Uesugi Tetsu's hair.

But the next moment, her tone grew serious. "It's true that Arakawa District will be very dangerous during this period, but I've already eliminated more than half of the Friendship Club's branches and members, and I've also drawn most of their attention to me."

Nanjo Ai raised a finger. "But with the 'first wave' approaching, no one can say for sure whether the other districts, currently peaceful, are truly safe."

She spread her hands and said, "Stay and face known dangers, or leave and face unknown challenges. The decision is in your hands."

The first wave.

This was not the first time that Uesugi Tetsu had heard this word.

He looked at Nanjo Aimi, wanting an answer.

Lilizi frowned. She had come across too many bizarre things today. This was much more outrageous than just some ghost stories about foxes, dogs and raccoons coming true.

Nanjo Aimi didn't hide it any further and replied, "Just think of it as the demons and strange stories from historical legends invading reality en masse. The fact that many people on Twitter have taken photos of demons and monsters before is one of the omens."

Uesugi Tetsu thought that White Prajna's invasion of reality was indeed a fact, but he didn't expect that this was not a survivor bias, but really a huge number of individual cases.

Perhaps in the future, the story of killing Fang Xiangshi with ten thousand people may really become a reality, and even the entire Edo Castle may appear with it.

Thinking of the Laughing Prajna who had not yet been upgraded, and the three or two skills in his hands that were just beginning, Uesugi Che's palms began to sweat, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Now, apart from the disposable Nanjo dolls and Ghost Daddy, he has almost no means to resist two-star and above monsters.

——Looking at Nanjo Aimi's Shikigami, Nyuuki has two and a half stars on his head, and the seemingly weak Hiyaban also has one and a half stars, which is higher than the seriously injured Bai Bannyo's level. The abilities of the two are even complementary.

It seems that we need to speed up the strategy after Xiao Prajna is upgraded and the one-star card pool is opened.

Uesugi Che glanced at the remaining time - the upgrade would be completed by the early morning of the day after tomorrow. By then, he could use the accumulated soul ashes to perform ten consecutive draws to significantly increase his strength.

"The wave may arrive in half a month, or perhaps within the next few days."

After conveying a terrifying amount of information in just two sentences, Nanjo Aimi had no intention of explaining in detail.

She smoked a cigarette, with dark circles under her eyes, and said, "I have to go work overtime. If I sweat more now, I will bleed less in two days. You two can take care of yourselves."

"If you have anything to say, just call me and tell me clearly. I will be there as soon as possible."

After the explanation, the rain curtains on both sides of the alley disappeared. Nanjo Aishi quickly left, leaving behind a clean alley and Uesugi Tetsu who looked a little at a loss.

After a moment of silence, Uesugi Tetsu asked, "Want to eat dinner?"

Lilizi's stomach made a gurgling sound, and she nodded slowly: "Eat it, why not eat the free dinner?"

After reaching a unanimous decision, the two walked out of the alley in silence, which might have become a key turning point in their lives.

When I came to the street, the people walking around were no different from before.

Students were gossiping, pushing and playing with each other, office workers were hurrying home from get off work, and old people could be seen everywhere walking in groups of two or three, slowly.

Next to my ears is the silent sound of car engines turning. In Japan, a society where no one wants to cause trouble to others, the shrill sound of horns is almost inaudible.

Everything was no different from an ordinary evening.

At this moment, the sharp cry of crows suddenly came from the electric pole above head. A large flock of crows flapped their wings and flew away in all directions, covering the setting sun like a sudden dark cloud.

As Uesugi Tetsu looked at this scene, he remembered that the time when the sun sets is called the Demonic Hour in Japan, and the time after that is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

He felt like he was walking into a night parade of one hundred demons.
