I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 60 The sound of drums coming from behind

[You killed the wandering spirit "Chi" and gained 0 soul ash.]

……

[You killed the half-star wandering soul "Chi" and obtained 3 soul ashes.]

"Surprisingly weak."

Uesugi Che silently put away his sword and stared at Ye Chun who was watching the battle with his shoulders hunched behind him.

Ye Chun leaned over and excitedly whispered to Erchi, "Erchi, Erchi! Your brother is so awesome! This is so cool and reassuring!"

"Hehe, of course. Master Che... my brother dealt with these chickens and dogs like chopping melons and vegetables."

The two-foot-tall man proudly stood with his hands on his hips, using idioms skillfully.

But Uesugi Che was not as relaxed as they were. He frowned, thinking that these demons named "Chi" were too weak.

Not to mention that they had almost no reaction to the movements around them and were almost not aggressive, they even had to wait until Uesugi Che slashed at them with a knife before they could react.

Moreover, the sporadic demons did not explode soul ashes at all. This was the first time he encountered such a strange situation.

A two-and-a-half-star Chi can indeed produce soul ash, but the total is only ten points, not even as much as a strong farmer.

There are many, really many strange phenomena in Ruzuki Station.

"There are only a few wandering souls trapped here."

Uesugi Tetsu walked up to Ye Chun, who looked agitated. "Can you still keep going, Ye Chun?"

"Can, can, can!"

Ye Chun nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining as he looked at Uesugi Tetsu and Kaga Kiyomitsu at his waist. He couldn't help but ask, "Uesugi-san, are you the heir of that legendary mysterious ancient family? Are you a descendant of the 'Dragon of Echigo' from the Warring States Period?"

The Dragon of Echigo, also known as the God of War, is the nickname of Uesugi Kenshin, a daimyo of Echigo Province during the Warring States Period. He can almost be called one of the three great generals along with the famous Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen.

Since it is famous, it is often used by light novel and comic authors in their works.

The main consumers are teenagers like Ye Chun.

Uesugi Che was speechless.

However, this did help Uesugi Tetsu come up with a more suitable identity.

So he put on an expression that said, "You actually found me," and said calmly, "If there's no second Uesugi, then I should be the one."

Ye Chun immediately let out a series of surprised "ohs" and posted a message as if to show off.

The three continued to move forward.

Uesugi Tetsu still maintained the aloof personality of the descendant of the Echigo Dragon, but in fact he was listening very carefully to every word Ye Chun said in front of him.

Soon, he constructed Ye Chun's basic information, personality and hobbies in his mind.

Born in an ordinary family in a remote small town, he was not poor but not rich either. He went to school step by step and, like most people, had no plans to go on to higher education, so his grades were mediocre.

I have three or two good friends who I have a good relationship with, and I joined a club to get by. I have many hobbies but I am not very specialized. If I have to pick one that stands out the most, it would be comics.

"He's just an ordinary high school student..."

Uesugi Che murmured, until now, he still hadn't found even a single point that could "save" the other party.

Could it be that saving means simply taking Ye Chun out of the Ruyue Station map?
That's too simple.

After walking for a while, Ye Chun in front of them exclaimed, "Uesugi-kun! It's that tunnel! I think I passed through that tunnel when I took the train here!"

tunnel.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and caught a glimpse of the three old characters "Isano Kan" on the top of the dark tunnel in the night. Judging from the patina and weathering, it must have been at least several decades old.

"But it seems very dark inside. I can't even see the road clearly. Should we wait until daybreak before going in?"

Ye Chun suddenly felt a little regretful for not spending the night at the station.

"So you mean we have to spend the night in this desolate wilderness?" Uesugi Che said darkly, "Within such a long time, who knows what monsters might appear in the surrounding woods."

Ye Chun bit her lip and said, "I'll listen to you, Uesugi-kun."

"Hold Erchi's hand tightly, and she will stay with you."

Darkness is nothing to Uesugi Tetsu, provided that he can transform into Laughing Prajna.

So he continued, "There might be danger next, so I'm going to use Yin-Yang magic to transform into Prajna. Don't be afraid, classmate Ye Chun."

"Oh?! Prajna!"

Ye Chun exclaimed excitedly, then realized that his reaction seemed to be excessive: "Ahem, I mean, if you told me in advance, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Okay then." Under Ye Chun's gaze, Uesugi Che recited a fictitious spell and made non-existent hand gestures to transform into Laughing Prajna.

The blurry night scene suddenly became bright, and the 270-degree perspective provided by the Hundred-Eyed Demon's eyes allowed him to see the danger at a glance, and his explosive power was far beyond his normal level.

If he was in the incarnation state, Uesugi Tetsu could kill off the group of demons he had encountered before with just one sword.

Uesugi Che turned around and found Ye Chun staring at him blankly.

He wondered, could it be possible to scare ordinary people to death without making any expression?

Is this passive so strong?

"Student Ye Chun?"

"So cool..." the girl murmured, then ran towards him, touching him here and there, exclaiming, "This is so cool! He transforms just like Kamen Rider!"

After observing the Prajna Mask closely for a long time, Ye Chun withdrew his hand and commented sincerely,
"Imperial and cold. I've never met anyone cooler than you in my life, Uesugi-kun."

"Uh...thank you for the compliment."

It was the first time that Uesugi Tetsu heard such an evaluation. After all, his charm was reduced to zero in this state. Both Nishaku-sama and Kitano Runa were scared to death before.

Ye Chun is a good person to get along with.

"Yeah! I feel so safe now!"

Ye Chun patted his chest and said, "Next, please lead me through the tunnel, Uesugi-kun!"

"Don't fall behind."

Uesugi Tetsu drew out Kaga Kiyomitsu and walked into the deep and dark Izanuki Tunnel first.

He remembered that in the ghost story at Rugetsu Station, not long after Ye Chun entered the tunnel, he would hear the sound of an approaching taiko drum behind him.

That should be the strange story Taiko bell in the main quest.

However, that is just a story passed down orally. In fact, the Taiko bell may have appeared directly in front of the tunnel, because it has always stayed in the tunnel.

——This is more in line with reality, isn’t it?

Just like now.

thump...

thump.

Boom!
In the darkness, someone was beating a sturdy drum hard, blocking the path ahead.

And, quickly approaching here.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and took in the entire 100-meter distance—

【Taiko Bell (2 stars)】

"Erchi, take Ye Chun and run back first, quickly."

Uesugi Tetsu began to use his Qi He Jutsu with all his strength, and crackling and exploding sounds were emitted around him. "Perhaps it can kill people with the sound of drums, and it will be difficult to protect you this way."

"Then Master Che, be careful!"

Erchisama's heart tightened, and she thought of the scene where Uesugi Che was counterattacked to death by Bai Banruo, but she did not hesitate too much, and hurriedly pulled Ye Chun and ran back.

Ye Chun glanced at the girl pulling him in surprise, but didn't think much of it. Instead, he shouted, "Come on, Uesugi-kun! Beat all these monsters down!"

"Lend your auspicious words."

Uesugi Tetsu assumed a Qingyan stance, adjusted his breathing, and accumulated strength.

The gap between him and Taiko Bell is as much as one star. Without knowing the specific strength of the opponent, Uesugi Tetsu believes that he must first inflict heavy damage on the opponent before proceeding with the subsequent battle.

Boom boom boom!
The rumbling sound of drums echoed in the empty tunnel.

Uesugi Che stared indifferently at the taiko drum that was getting closer and closer, and the several wooden puppets around it that were playing it.

First sword, break the drum first...

But when the Taiko moved closer, Uesugi Tetsu was surprised to find that the label on its head had begun to blur and lose its color.

Finally, it became a completely different name——

【Bakabashi (one and a half stars)】

At the same time, the sound of heart-shaking drums came from far behind the tunnel.

Round after round, even at such a long distance, there is no sign of attenuation.

——Taiko bells!
The one at the back is the taiko bell!
