I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 44 Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the second stage ( updates)
Kitano Runa is an atheist.

Because ever since she could remember, she often saw or heard some "movements that did not belong to this world" in sparsely populated, gloomy, or strange places.

But no matter what she saw or heard, the final result was just a false alarm, as if the naive girl was scaring herself.

After coming to Tokyo alone to go to school, Kitano Runa often explored various popular ghost story locations, horror rankings, and even slept on the legendary mass grave.

However, Kitano Runa has always been alone.

She practiced the idea that "even if there really is a ghost, only I will die and my friends and family will not be involved", but in the end nothing happened.

So Kitano Runa doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in this world.

When a "hot ghost story trend" inexplicably swept Twitter a few days ago, she, as usual, wrote down all the summoning methods she saw, and then tried them one by one at home alone.

"If it's true, come out and let me see it!"

Kitano Runa said this after completing fourteen summoning rituals in one night.

That night, she heard countless strange noises and saw many unusual shadows, but was still disappointed to find nothing.

Just like before, like someone was making a fool of her, a clown.

"It's just another piece of false propaganda, using the supernatural as a banner to attract traffic." She thought after completing the last summoning ceremony of Bai Prajna.

Then one day at noon, she saw her best friend Shizuma Manatsu actually took out her cell phone and found a selfie with Bai Banruo.

"It must be P." Kitano Runa thought.

But then, she saw that Ririko and Uesugi-kun became serious at the same time, and then they found someone who looked like a policeman in the afternoon.

Her years of experience in following anime have taught her that if someone acts on their own and disagrees with everyone at this time, they will definitely be the first to die.

In the car, Manatsu-san, who was in uniform, talked to them a lot - roughly saying that ghosts and gods do exist in this world, and they are very dangerous.

Although Kitano Runa is an atheist, she is not stupid.

So she chose to believe it.

After hanging up the phone, which was not sure whether it would be of any use or not, cold sweat ran down the temples of the girl who was leaning against the corner.

But years of experience in "seeing" and testing her courage have enabled Kitano Runa to remain calm even in such extreme situations.

She held the half-burned concealment talisman paper in her hand, thinking that in just over thirty seconds she would have to face that damn Bai Prajna again.

"No matter what, we have to take Mom away from here first."

Kitano Runa trembled as she withdrew her gaze from the middle-aged woman who had fainted on the ground. She gritted her teeth and took out the last string of glowing beads from her sleeve.

——These exorcism tools were taken from Shizuma Mafuyu’s drawer before she came here.

——Her mother came to Tokyo from the countryside to visit her, and ended up meeting Bai Prajna who was entrenched there at home. The story was that simple.

Kitano Runa couldn't find anyone to help her in the Special Affairs Office, and she didn't want to burden Shizuma Manatsu, so she had to come here alone with some miscellaneous props.

She held her breath tightly and stared at the pale evil ghost mask that was searching for her, but still did not make the slightest movement.

Don't be impatient, Kitano Runa.

She said to herself in her heart.

She moved towards her mother's position, but when she was about to carry her mother on her back, Kitano Runa hesitated for a moment.

The eighteen-year-old girl stared at the rosary in her hand, counting down the time left on the concealing talisman, knowing that this was her last chance to escape alone.

——If she gave up her mother, she would definitely survive; but if she tried to save her mother, both of them might die here.

How to decide...

"Such a simple question, do I still need to think about it? This is my mother!"

Kitano Runa pulled the rosary off her wrist and threw it hard towards the empty balcony.

The wandering Bai Prajna was instantly attracted by the glowing rosary and pounced towards it!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she picked up her mother and ran towards the open door with difficulty.

Feeling her lungs burning in just a moment, Kitano Runa, a super homebody, roared in her heart:

——If I can survive this time, I must definitely start exercising!
"hiss--!"

A faint burning sound and Bai Prajna's angry roar were heard from the balcony.

Kitano Runa had just stepped out of the house when she heard the noise behind her almost disappear.

It’s over.

The girl felt a chill in her heart. She hadn't even reached the stairs yet. The monster could pounce on her at a distance of more than ten meters.

Kitano Runa quickly put her mother behind the door and ran in the opposite direction, raising her hands high and shouting at Bai Banruo: "Don't you want to eat me? Come on!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran downstairs. Under the influence of adrenaline, she took two steps to cross the ten stairs, running at the fastest speed in her life.

At this moment, Kitano Runa felt that she was just like the lone hero in the anime with his back to everyone, so handsome!

Then, she was pressed against the wall by Bai Prajna, who was much faster than her.

"Puff--" Kitano Runa felt her whole body was numb from the impact, as if it was about to fall apart.

Looking at Bai Banruo who was looking down at her, Kitano Runa looked up at the sky with lifeless eyes, thinking that a sports loser like herself could only be handsome for three seconds.

dying.

Kitano Runa thought.

She was about to close her eyes and wait for death quietly, but suddenly she saw a cold light in the air.

Ugh, wait, what is that?
Kitano Runa was stunned and didn't even care that Bai Banruo had pinched her shoulder.

——The sword is flying in the sky?

The next moment, the cold light and the hoarse, low roar arrived in front of her at the same time, illuminating Kitano Runa's lifeless pupils.

"——Tooth!"

The trembling sword tip pierced through the illusory chest of Confessional Prajna, abruptly stopping the evil ghost's movements. Kitano Runa turned her head in a daze and saw the expressionless face of Uesugi Tetsu.

The girl saw him lower his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I'm not a step too late."

After he finished speaking, a strong wind came from behind Uesugi Tetsu, lifting Kitano Runa's hair.

The girl was bewildered - this is the fourth floor, how did he get up here?
"Guests are coming, aren't you going to welcome them?"

Uesugi Tetsu received a cassock slash and pulled Kaga Kiyomizu out of Bai Prajna's body. At this time, he saw a prompt pop up above Bai Prajna's head.

[Lightly Injured White Prajna Projection (One Star)]

It turns out that this is not Bai Prajna's real body. No wonder he feels that even if he does not transform, he is not so strong that he cannot be defeated.

Uesugi Tetsu, who had just finished the incarnation state of Laughing Prajna, thought.

Because Kitano Runa was present, Uesugi Tetsu tried his best not to be exposed, so the sword attack from Ya Tu before was the last sword stabbed by the incarnation of Laughing Prajna.

However, judging from its condition, it seemed that his sword was not very effective, and at most only caused it minor injuries.

buzzing.

Amidst the strange movement, Bai Prajna slowly turned around, allowing Uesugi Che to see the strange and terrifying mask.

"Don't you want to eat fresh and delicious souls?" Uesugi Tetsu waved at it provocatively, "Come on."

The stupid Bai Prajna mentioned by the blacksmith really got angry when provoked. It let out a sharp cry, raised its pale hands and pounced towards Uesugi Che.

So fast!

Uesugi Che's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly retreated to the empty corridor. However, even so, a tiny cut had been made on his forearm.

The wound was numb and itchy. Uesugi Che glanced at his arm and found that the blood flowing out was white.

Is it poisonous?

It seems that if I don’t transform into Laughing Prajna, it would be a bit difficult to face the one-star demon.

"trouble."

Temporarily using his internal energy to seal that small piece of flesh to slow the spread of the poison, Uesugi Tetsu shouted to Kitano Runa, "Can you move? You go first!"

Kitano Runa coughed up a mouthful of blood: "I can't...stand up."

Uesugi Che made a click of his tongue and blocked Bai Bannyo's sharp claws, thinking that the otakus in the two-dimensional world were indeed all fragile, his original self was, and so was Kitano Runa.

If this continues, the situation will probably develop in a direction that is disadvantageous to us.

Without further hesitation, Uesugi Che poured a drop of the awakening mist into his mouth, then took a deep breath and used all his strength to activate the Qi He Jutsu.

A light white energy aura attached to Uesugi Che's body. He turned his head as if he had foresight, dodging Bai Prajna's claw by a hair's breadth, and then shouted and chopped down.

The power of Tang bamboo!

"Roar--!"

Bai Prajna's tragic screams were heard.

But in the next moment, the half-broken face suddenly turned into a sad and crying expression.

"Woo...Woo..."

The shrill cry echoed, and Uesugi Che felt dizzy and nausea swept over his body, almost making him unable to hold the sword.

Stab it!

Several burning pains came from my arm again.

However, the crying only lasted for a moment, and when Uesugi Tetsu came to his senses again, he found that Kitano Runa lying in the corridor had fainted.

situation, because this insignificant condition will be reversed in an instant.

Retracting his gaze, Uesugi Tetsu slowly grinned at Bai Prajna, who had a fierce look on her face.

"Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the second stage of the BOSS."
