I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 413 The Dark Hand Behind the Calamity! Blood Moon becomes the foundation of the Dharma Protectorate, Uesugi becomes the witness to the vicissitudes of life!
Those lines of text, exuding an ominous aura, were written on the pages of the black-skinned man's book.

……

Lord Uesugi Tetsu is not a demon, but someone who is destined to be the "Thousand Eyes" and will eventually become the "One and Only Man of Ten Thousand Eyes" in this world!

July 31, 2009 (Gregorian calendar)
The corpse of the first chief priest of Shiratsu Shrine, the "Heavenly Soul Lock," and the "Eye of the Evil Intent of the Aragami" are engaged in a life-or-death struggle within their consciousness, and all three are simultaneously weakening.

He will use his supreme divine power to shatter the "corpse of the first chief priest of Shiratsu Shrine" and the "Heavenly Soul Lock," turning them into beings without intelligence or consciousness.

The shikigami he brought, "Yasakatsu Master," will protect every living being in Asahikawa City!
As a result, the "Eight-Foot Master" received the blessing of the great vow power, and was able to use the supreme Buddhist Dharma "Vow Power Protector" to imprison the "Eye of the Evil God" in his body, transforming it into the foundation of the Dharma Protector!
The "Qian Sha" he encountered, having endured countless trials and tribulations, will return safely to the present world after gaining profound enlightenment.

The "Daughter of Enma" he encountered will return safely to the mortal world after witnessing this event.

All the "living beings" in Asahikawa City will return to the present world under the protection of the "Eight-Foot Master".

All the "fierce monsters" in Asahikawa City will fall into slumber due to the disappearance of the "Eye of the Evil Thoughts of the Aragami," and will eventually be found and killed.

All the "false people" in Asahikawa City will be killed by him after the "corpse of the first chief priest of Shiratsu Shrine" and the "Heavenly Soul Lock" are shattered.

The "closed loop" of Asahikawa City has thus been broken!
Finally, through his experience and witnessing of this event, Lord Uesugi Tetsuya was able to complete the "Witness to the Changing Times" of the Hundred-Eyed Heavenly Path, making the destiny of a thousand eyes a reality!

Numerous, complex, detailed yet not exhaustive prophecies were all displayed on the yellowed pages of the book.

This prophecy was finally agreed upon after a long discussion among Uesugi Tetsuya, Nishaku, and Karuta.

The power belonging to Karuta had also been quietly poured into her, causing her to fall into a brief slumber.

After the last character was placed, both Uesugi Tetsu and the numerous clones of the two-foot-tall man felt a slightly different, inexplicable "feeling".

But if you really investigate it carefully, you can't find a reason for it.

The power of this "prophecy" is too mysterious. Without specifically practicing related methods, it is not yet a power that they, who are just beginning to explore the realm of ghosts and gods, can master.

During the more than one minute of the prophecy's manifestation, Blood Moon initially felt somewhat uneasy, then developed a sense of "disdain" and "indifference."

Because it did not "fall into weakness" at all.

— The difficulty of “changing the reality that has already happened” is not even in the same league as that of “predicting the future”.

The Black Man Book simply couldn't do that.

Compared to this, the corpse of the palace priest and the Heavenly Soul Lock are nothing. If Blood Moon wanted to, he could first exterminate all living beings in Asahikawa City, and then take these two for himself.

But as the prophecy progressed, the Blood Moon became enraged.

—These are its sustenance, the power that should have belonged to it in the future. What is this black-skinned book, which was originally meant to be its child, prophesying now?!

It absolutely cannot accept that the daughter of Enma leaves Asahikawa City instead of becoming one with it!
Then, crimson blood poured down with terrifying malice, completely enveloping the entire black book, attempting to alter the black and red prophecy written on it.

All the ordinary people who were still alive trembled at this, and couldn't help but feel more reverence and gratitude for the eight-foot-tall clay sculpture that was so close to them.

But the next moment.

That crimson color, the crimson color that obscured the entire sky.

froze.

The true contingency plan left behind by Lord Mokujin was finally triggered by Blood Moon's extremely disrespectful and presumptuous act.

In the sky, a small, pure black hand silently emerged from the black and red characters.

The black hand first erased the bloodstains from the entire black book.

Immediately afterwards, as if having identified its target, it aimed all five fingers at the Blood Moon itself, which was obscured by the corpse of the palace priest and the Heavenly Soul Lock.

—That scarlet bloodshot eye brimming with malice!
Blood Eyes also locked onto the black hand that had appeared without warning, scrutinizing it with its gaze.

But soon, this detached and curious scrutiny turned into a faint fear.

Then, it turned into a helpless terror!
The eerie black hand expanded hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times in an instant, then overcame all obstacles and grabbed the enormous bloodshot eye in a flash.

Then, as easily as squeezing a small tomato.

Clench your five fingers tightly!

A phantom explosion sounded.

Then the scarlet "juice" poured down like a torrential rain throughout Asahikawa City, and then disappeared without a trace, its form unknown.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had his head raised, chuckled.

"Now you'll be weak."

Unseen by Uesugi Tetsu, as the Blood Moon weakened, the fierce monsters that had been thriving throughout Asahikawa City also suddenly fell into a state of weakness.

Just as the revival was halfway complete and Li Gui was about to encounter reality, his progress was forced to halt.

This also proves from another perspective that the birth of the so-called "ghost" is closely related to the evil intentions of this unknown ara-god, or even the ara-god himself.

Seeing that its opponent had become almost weaker than it was now, the "Heavenly Soul Lock," which also occupied the sky, immediately extended dozens of its most complete chains, attempting to bind and restrain it.

Stab it!

The blazing white lightning struck down all the chains.

Wearing the Red Hannya mask, Uesugi Tetsuya drew his Spider Cutter and sneered at the menacing chains: "Did you do this before you attacked?"

Meanwhile, the eight-foot-tall clay sculptures scattered throughout Asahikawa City, which had stayed with the living and protected their lives, were gradually covered with solemn, fiery gold paint.

Those eight-foot-tall, golden clay sculptures all spoke simultaneously, their brows lowered, their tone sincere and earnest.

"I earnestly request that you all make a vow to eradicate all evil and wickedness in the world!"

"I earnestly request that you all make a vow to eradicate all evil in the world!"

"I earnestly request that you all make a vow to eradicate all darkness in the world!"

"I earnestly request everyone to make a vow..."

There were no further twists and turns.

The children, teenagers, men, and women who knew what had kept them alive until now all complied with the eight-foot clay sculpture's plea, closed their eyes, and silently made a vow in their hearts.

Each and every wish, though perhaps not entirely sincere, was swiftly absorbed by the Two-Foot Master using the Amoghasiddhi Mantra.

Then, she used the secret mantra of "Vow Power Protector" to create the chains she intended to use to bind the extremely weak "Eye of the Evil God".

The rumbling sound of Buddhist chants rose over Asahikawa City, again and again.

It is becoming more and more solemn, more and more magnificent.

Golden rays rose up and transformed in the air into a magnificent golden Buddha statue with the exact same face as the two-foot-tall man, possessing both compassion and wrath.

The densely packed inscriptions on the Buddha statue were transformed by her into chains and weapons.

The bloodshot eyes, now shrunken and with an unfocused gaze, caught sight of the golden Buddha statue rising from the ground, exuding a fierce yet cowardly aura.

He remained unmoved by sight or sound, simply lowering his eyes and eyebrows, allowing his thoughts to "dwell in emptiness" within the Tathagatagarbha, thus eliminating all interference from the bloodshot eyes.

"Eliminate all evil and wickedness in the world!"

"Eliminate all evil in the world!"

"Eliminate all darkness in the world!"

The magnificent Buddha statue chanted loudly, and its dazzling golden light grew even more immense, illuminating the entire night sky of Asahikawa City.

The weakened Blood Eye sensed a significant threat from the Buddha statue. Without much thought, it immediately tried to conceal itself and recover.

In that instant, all the two-foot-tall figures raised their heads, meeting the bloodshot eyes with their imposing, cold gazes, and threw their weapons and chains.
"His light shines everywhere!"

"—You've made quite a commotion with just two feet."

Enveloped in the flames of the stolen Sea God's Treasury, Uesugi Tetsu looked up at the bright night sky and smiled: "Well, I can't slow down here either."

Although his overlimit state hadn't fully recovered, he didn't need to rely solely on the Six-Tailed Fox's "Rage of the Extreme"—the pressure wasn't too great; he only needed to burn his life force. Last time, the Palace Master's corpse and the Heavenly Soul Lock he faced were almost intact, but this time they had been significantly weakened by the Blood Moon.

Besides, there's the experience from last time.

Dealing with them is a piece of cake.

"Thunder comes."

Accompanying the almost whispered murmur was a burst of purified lightning, capable of incinerating the heavens, erupting from the core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace.

Like a great river encircling Uesugi Tetsuya, the lightning rapidly shrank under the guidance of the spirit control technique, eventually converging entirely onto the blade of the Spider Cutter.

Its azure blade was coated with a layer of white light with an off-the-charts count!
In other words, the Spider Cutter, which once served as a boundary marker, could withstand it. Any other weapon would have been instantly turned into a pile of charred remains by the lightning.

Uesugi Tetsu casually assumed a flat blue-eyed starting stance, pointing the blade at the motionless, empty-eyed corpse of the priest.

The ultimate secret of the Natural Rinpoche style: The Three Stages of Ignorance!

The sky above Asahikawa City.

A sea of ​​lightning shrouded the chains, and a Buddha statue suppressed the blood moon.

Kujo Machi, who was still obediently staying in her room, was lying by the window, and was shocked even by catching just a glimpse of the outside world.
"That was quite a commotion..."

She turned her head to Chisa, whose chest was heaving and who was making "humph" sounds, and asked, "So, does that mean we can safely evacuate without doing anything?"

Kujo Machi's gaze was somewhat complicated: "I have a feeling that I feel guilty."

Chisa shook her head.
"Kujou-nee, don't think that being obedient and not holding us back is an easy thing."

The girl pointed out the window: "If you suddenly run out by yourself now, your master will definitely be distracted and might cause problems."

Chisa smiled at Kujo Machi.

"The fact that you didn't run away means you're doing the right thing, doesn't it?"

Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense...

Having read numerous horror novels and watched countless movies, Kujo Masamichi understands this saying well.

The supporting characters who disobey orders and like to act on their own are always the first to die, and they also cause all sorts of trouble.

Kujo Machi felt the earth-shattering tremors, as if nature itself were enraged. Recalling the Buddhist chants from before, he made a vow in his heart and then gripped Chisa's hands tightly.

"Anyway, thank you Chisa and your master."

"Why are you thanking me, Kujo-nee?"

Chisa shook her head, puffed out her cheeks, and said...

"Qian Sha is not worthy... It's all thanks to Master..."

Kujo Machi recalled the same look in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes that was exactly the same as the "fleshy ball" on the girl's head, and said nothing more.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How about you help me pack my things, Chisa?"

Kujo Machi didn't consider what would happen if Uesugi Tetsu and Nisha failed.

—That's equivalent to failing to intercept a meteorite. What else can you do?
Just wait to die!
So let's still believe it!

The power of belief is boundless!
Chisa was asked to tidy up the more public areas, while Kujo Machi cleaned up the more private areas, such as the "toy area."

Outside the window, it was as if a hurricane and a tsunami were colliding, and the earth trembled.

The two girls inside the window were diligently tidying up their personal belongings, seemingly as relaxed as if they were about to embark on a long trip.

Chisa placed another stack of books that weren't very useful aside, and paused for a moment when she opened the bottom drawer.

Because there was a notebook in the drawer with a style that was clearly different from the other books.

She waved to Kujo Machi.

"Kujou-nee, what is this?"

Kujo Machi leaned closer and raised an eyebrow: "Huh, what's this? I don't recognize it."

Without thinking much of it, she opened the notebook to see what was inside—

My name is Kujo Machi. By the time you see this, I will have already been killed by those things...

For a moment, Kujo Machi and Chisa exchanged glances and simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines.

If Uesugi Tetsu were here, he would know that this was the first sentence that appeared on the page when he received the black book.

Chisa immediately closed the notebook, snatched it from Kujo Machi's hand, and threw it far away.

But with just one glance, Kujo Machi felt as if he had read the entire notebook.

Subsequent records gradually appeared in her memory—

This is important information that I left in this notebook in the past. If nothing unexpected happens, you will find this notebook on the night of August 1st when you are too bored.

If you experience a strong sense of déjà vu at this time, don't worry, it's normal, but also unfortunate.

You must remember what I'm about to say.

Of course, if you repeat this many times, those memories might resurface on their own.

Asahikawa City is a "loop," and I, Kujo Machi, am the unique "anchor point" within that loop.

【…】

[Nine True Insights, First Time Recording.]

【…】

Like a towering dam being breached by a flood, a massive amount of memories poured into Kujo Machi's mind, bringing pain that ordinary people could not bear.

She couldn't help but collapse to the ground, clutching her head and screaming in agony.

"I remember, I remember, I remember everything!"

"Just a few more times, just a few more... only a few more times left!"

"The ring is about to collapse!"

"It's all over now..."

Kujo Machi first murmured these inexplicable words, but then she opened her eyes, her teeth chattering, and spoke to Chisa, who was already gripping the scissors tightly.
"No! No!"

She lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Reason slowly returned after the excruciating pain.

"We can't do it again! We can't do it again!"

Looking at the dappled light and shadows outside the window, Kujo Machi said firmly, "This is the best ending, without exception!"

But the next instant, an expression of overwhelming sorrow appeared on her face.
"It can be closed-loop, and it will not end because of this."

Kujo Machi's eyes dimmed.
"As long as I live, as long as I die... the ring will continue."

She opened her mouth and murmured.

"The method to end it, the method..."

"Oh, right, that piece of paper!"

A fierce light flashed in Kujo Machi's eyes again. She quickly grabbed Chisa's hands, widened her eyes, and said to her, word by word,
"Only by sacrificing me according to the method written on that piece of paper will the cycle end!"
