Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Miyako nodded repeatedly: "Master is not good at dealing with ghost stories because most of them originated in modern times, and to defeat them, one must first understand them."

"This Slit-Mouthed Woman is alright, but if it involves advanced technology, such as computers or movies, that would really be a challenge for Master."

The alien realm is an independent space, and it is difficult for outsiders to forcibly invade it.

Not to mention the virtual world, that's the real dead end.

However, these were not problems at all for Miyako and Tanigumo.

The greatest strength of clairvoyance lies in its ability to forcibly break boundaries, allowing each other to transcend social classes and reach any world that your spiritual level can access.

"This also means that as long as we adjust our own spiritual power to the same level as the ghost stories."

"us…"

The two searched along the road and soon discovered a peculiar area and that eerie figure: "It can break the rules of the ghost story game!"

They circled the academy several times until it was completely dark.

Under the pale white light, Gu Yun and Miyako carefully used their spiritual vision to search and observe.

"Still can't find it?"

“It’s a ghost story,” Miyako said. “That’s the trouble with it.”

If it's the work of monsters or curses, the ancients left behind a plethora of tools, such as compasses for positioning and divination methods—the list goes on and on.

Unfortunately, the history of ghost stories is only about a hundred years, and many of them are new entities that have only emerged in the last few decades.

Perhaps in ten or twenty years, when exorcists have thoroughly studied ghost stories, positioning instruments similar to compasses will appear.

However, it's not the right time yet.

"Strange tales aren't very strong; let alone top-tier ones, even high-tier ones are extremely rare."

Miyako: "I don't know about others, but for us, the thing we're least afraid of is fighting ghost stories head-on."

One possesses extraordinary magical powers, while the other is served by gods and demons.

How arrogant must your ghost story be to defeat Inari, who possesses divine status, and a bunch of demons who have cultivated for thousands of years?

"Let's go."

The two began their search by following the gray threads. Since these threads originated from the strange and otherworldly realms, the place where they were most concentrated must be the location of those realms.

"Is it here?"

The siblings found the alien land, where a distorted gray mist was constantly swaying in mid-air.

Generally speaking, to come into contact with ghost stories, three elements are needed: a medium, a ritual, and a specific time.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman's time is dusk, her medium is this mist, and her ritual is a solitary child stepping into it at that very moment.

This road is quite remote; even if someone were to walk on it, it would be impossible for them to be alone.

However, no matter how small the probability, with such a large number of cases, someone will eventually encounter it.

Ghost tales can change one's location in another world; one can fire a shot and move to a different place, capturing as many as possible.

"I've finally found you."

Gu Yun declared that since they were acting so arrogantly on his turf, he had to extinguish this strange tale today.

"I'll go ahead, Xiao Gu Yun, you follow me."

Miyako led the way into the foreign land, and Gu Yun followed closely behind.

The next moment, the two felt the colors of the world being enveloped in a touch of orange-red. They looked up and saw that the original darkness had turned into the twilight of the time of the demons.

As the sun set, the streets were deserted.

"Strange Land!"

Gu Yun knew that they had entered the realm of strange tales.

Everything here is illusory and unreal; it is a manifestation of the power of ghost stories.

Ordinary exorcists can only enter the supernatural realm at specific times according to the rules, and can only leave after defeating the supernatural tales.

However, the siblings were different; they entered using clairvoyance, so as long as they released the state of spiritual manifestation, they could immediately return to the material world.

The ability to enter and retreat using the clairvoyance technique is practically a bug.

"Help~~~"

However, before the two could search for the Slit-Mouthed Woman, a heart-wrenching scream came from ahead.

"what's the situation?"

The siblings exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes: "There are other people here?"

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, a bald, sleazy-looking man was seen running towards the two of them with all his might.

"Help, help!!"

Miyako immediately shielded Gu Yun behind her and used her spiritual vision technique to examine him.

"Humanity?"

"It's a person, sis."

Vision is infallible; there is a fundamental difference between humans and ghost stories. This sleazy bald man is indeed a human.

"Little White, activate the Fox Shadow Barrier!"

Crimson flames enveloped enormous, translucent talismans that floated in mid-air, spreading outwards from the two of them to protect the siblings within the barrier.

"what is this?"

The bald man was stunned for a moment, but feeling the murderous aura coming from behind him, he dared not stop and immediately put all his strength into his steps.

"Hahahaha~~"

It was at this moment that the two saw the shadow behind the bald man, which was none other than the slit-mouthed woman they were looking for to defeat.

She was wearing a heavy beige trench coat, and the mask she wore on her face was gone. Her gaping mouth, with faint stitches, was emitting a sharp, maniacal laugh, and the huge, black scissors in her hand looked as if she were about to cleave the bald man in two.

"go with!"

Gu Yun tossed out a talisman, which accurately stuck to the bald uncle's body.

"Om~~"

The talisman contained Xiaobai's magical power, which was suddenly released, and a small fox shadow barrier unfolded around the bald uncle.

"Keng!"

The scissors fell, colliding with the barrier.

"Ah~~"

With a shrill scream, the Fox Shadow Barrier deflected the scissors and the Slit-Mouthed Woman back.

"We were...were sent back?"

The uncle clearly hadn't expected Gu Yun's magic to be so powerful, even managing to instantly repel the Slit-Mouthed Woman who had chased him all the way and driven him to the brink of despair.

"Phew, that scared me to death."

The uncle breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that his life had been saved.

He didn't know their identities, but with such strength, they were definitely not ordinary exorcists.

"The level of resentment, when converted into demonic power, is..."

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Yun quickly assessed the level of the Slit-Mouthed Woman: "Equivalent to a mid-level demon?"

"Let's save them first."

After Miyako finished speaking, she put her hands together and clapped them lightly twice.

"Clap!"

Spiritual energy surged, and a pale blue halo enveloped Miyako.

A large amount of water vapor gathered and transformed into water dragons. They bypassed the bald man and attacked the slit-mouthed woman who was rushing towards him again from his side and above.

"Shhhhh!"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman brandished her scissors and barely managed to cut a water dragon in half.

Faced with the continuous flow of water vapor, the Slit-Mouthed Woman realized the strength of her opponent and immediately abandoned the pursuit, retreating backward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Miyako did not dispel the spell, but instead controlled the water dragon to press her advantage.

The slit-mouthed woman dodged several attacks, leaving only deep pits on the road in this alien world.

"This guy is so agile."

Miyako opened her arms, her eyes shimmering with a blue light.

A surge of water vapor gathered around her from all directions, seemingly poised to unleash a large-scale spell.

"Miyako-neechan, can you leave this place to me?"

Seeing this, Gu Yun stopped Miyako's attack and instead summoned Hannya and Momiji.

"Um…"

Miyako glanced at him, then looked at Hannya and Momiji, and said, "Alright, you stay by my side and let the shikigami take care of things."

"it is good."

Gu Yun smiled slightly: "Prajna, Red Leaves..."

"He's just a subordinate who can't even control resentment. I can handle him on my own."

"Hey?"

Hongye only said one sentence, and before Gu Yun could make a decision, she rushed towards the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Gu Yun originally planned for her to go with Prajna.

But even red leaves have their own pride.

It would be too embarrassing to require two high-level demons to join forces to deal with a mere monster that is not even at the intermediate level.
