I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

The attack failed, so Niu Gui took a step back, held the sword with both hands, raised it high in front of his head, and chopped forward fiercely.

Ding!

This time the attack was heavier, but Inoue Ueya still managed to block it.

"I heard that guy became a 'ghost' out of hatred, walked out of the cow ghost holding his mother's body, and then called himself 'cow ghost'. Do you remember?"

Ushiki doesn't have so much time to talk about the past with Inoue Ueya. If Nura Rikuo is not rescued as soon as possible...

"What do you want to say?" Niu Gui couldn't help but ask.

Suddenly, the voice of Hanako Natsukawa came into Inoue Ueya's mind.

[Hey, hey, why are you guys fighting already? ]

"Anyway, I'll be the one fighting this time. Is the Crow Tengu from the Nura group coming soon?"

[No, Kotoko blocked them and asked me to come over and tell you to speed up.]

So that's it. Has Kotoko already guessed what I'm going to do?

Inoue Ueya was seen holding the Mimakiri Maru and swinging it at the Ushioki. Although it was easily blocked, the huge force pushed him back several steps.

Inoue Ueya tilted his head and asked, "Is it really necessary to be so serious? The Ushio-Oni is also a man-eating monster, right? Is it necessary to value Nura Rikuo's life so much?"

"Don't compare me to that monster."

Hearing what Inoue Ueya said, Niu Gui gradually recalled the dusty memories in his mind, and the hatred in his heart suddenly surged, and his eyes flashed scarlet.

Vague memories flashed through his mind: his mother's smile, her tragic death in the monster's mouth...

"If it weren't for that monster, Mother wouldn't have..."

Therefore, at that time he fell into the devil's way and became a "ghost".

Looking at the excited Ushio, Inoue Ueya nodded secretly.

"Ha, you were the victim in the past, but now you've become the perpetrator. Isn't that ironic?"

Inoue Ueya used Mary's power to teleport behind the Ushiki, then raised the Mimi Kirimaru and stabbed him in the body.

"Sinai, Kotomine Kirei! Experience Tokiomi's pain!"

"Interesting, is this a move similar to 'Ghost Entanglement'? It can actually use the power of 'fear' to use the ability to move through space?"

Ignoring Inoue Ueya's words, the Ushio moved slightly to the side and easily avoided his sneak attack.

"You were just referring to the victims of the Old Rat Incident, weren't you? They were merely trivial sacrifices for the sake of my plan. It's just bad luck... I'm no longer Umewakamaru, I'm a Ushi-ki."

After all, he is just a "ghost", why should he care about human lives?

As he said this, he swung his sword backhand, and the Mimikirimaru was knocked out of Inoue Ueya's hand.

Ignoring the blasted demon-slaying sword, Inoue Ueya continued, "A trivial sacrifice? Then the Ushi-ogi only ate you to satisfy its hunger. It's just bad luck, isn't it? Why do you still resent it? Why did you become a 'ghost'? Are you a clown?"

The cow ghost did not respond.

He was right. He was now doing something similar to the Ox-ghost from back then. Even though he hadn't killed the person, he was just as much an accomplice to the monster that had tricked him into Twisting Eye Mountain by allowing Old Rat to do so...

But in the next second, Niu Gui shook his head and woke up from his confusion.

[No, I can't be affected by his words. He doesn't have time to think about these things right now. Nura Rikuo needs to be treated as soon as possible.]

Mimi Kirimaru had been knocked down by him. Although this partner of the God of Wisdom had strong physical fitness, unfortunately his fighting skills were too poor.

Without the demon-killing sword, it would have been difficult for him to cause much damage to the monster himself.

——He won this battle.

"Whatever you say, for the Nura Group, I can even sacrifice my own life, let alone the lives of these people."

"Asshole, don't take life lightly, ahhhhhhhhh!"

Inoue Ueya became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He then stretched out two fingers and stabbed them into the nostrils of the uncle in front of him with lightning speed. Then he naturally threw him over his shoulder and knocked the Ushio out.

"Nani——"

boom!

There was no time to react, and the Niu Gui flew backwards, with half of his body stuck on the wall, motionless, as if he had passed out due to the strong impact.

"..."

Inoue Ueya's mouth twitched. He first looked at Nurarihyon, who had lost his demon transformation and was lying on the ground, already asleep. Then he looked at the old man with only his buttocks stuck on the wall.

"I was so excited that I seemed to have let myself go..."

Although I don't know why, when I'm extremely angry, I seem to do terrible things, like throwing myself over my shoulder.

Well, anyway, Hanakaiin is safe, and I beat up Niugui, so--

After hesitating for a while, Inoue Ueya scratched his head and finally came to a conclusion.

"It's almost time, we should go home."

Chapter 88 The plan was successful

In the villa on Niuyan Mountain, Hanakaiin Yuura looked at Inoue Ueya and the others with some confusion.

I just told them yesterday that we were going to Nianyan Mountain, so why did they follow me here today?

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

As if sensing Hanakaiin Yuura's confusion, Inoue Ueya waved his hands and laughed, "Hahaha, we just heard that the guy who planned the Old Rat Incident is in Nianyan Mountain, so we came here to teach him a lesson..."

"Well, is that really the case?"

"That's right, we have to go back now, goodbye!"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya took out the black pass from his pocket.

After all, Hanakaiin Yuura still needed to take care of the classmates around her, so she did not go back with Inoue Ueya.

But no one noticed that a girl with long hair was standing in the distance watching the time train disappear into the night sky.

"Well, now Ueya-kun has finally contracted four forms. It went surprisingly smoothly. It's time to move on to the next plan..."

Having said that, the girl turned and left, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

……

A flash of rainbow light appeared, and everyone took the time train from Twisting Eye Mountain back to the Inoue family.

"We're back!"

"Well, welcome back, but before you come in, let me check your body to see if you've brought any bugs with you..."

Miss Sadako, standing at the door, was wearing a gas mask, rubber gloves, and densely packed clothes, holding insecticide in her hand, and a bunch of terrified little clones were floating around her.

"No matter what, it's just a bug. Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Hanako Natsukawa said speechlessly.

"Stop talking nonsense and let me talk!"

Looking at the two girls making a fuss in front of his house, Inoue Ueya was still thinking about what had just happened. Although the process was a little different from what he had imagined, the Ushiki incident finally came to an end.

Thinking of the devil uncle who was knocked away by him, Inoue Ue couldn't help but sigh. Maybe the plan to awaken the other party's humanity has failed?

After all, he's an old monster who's lived for hundreds of years. It's impossible for him to be affected by a few words...

Well, at least I didn’t get humiliated today, which should be a good sign of my growth, right?

After a long time, seeing that everyone was normal and had no bugs on their bodies, Miss Sadako finally breathed a sigh of relief and let everyone into the house.

"Well, anyway, thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest today."

Inoue Ueya stretched and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

"As expected, after the battle, closing your eyes and resting on the sofa is the best!"

Not long after lying down, the angry Hanako Natsukawa reached out and grabbed Mr. Inoue's collar and shook him hard.

"Inoue, didn't you agree to give me a good fight? Why did you just start fighting with that old man?"

"No, no, no, I never told you to fight him before, did I?"

Because Mary was by his side at that time, he naturally transformed into the Holy Spear form.

To be honest, after obtaining Mary's ability, I finally experienced the feeling of teleportation.

"Speaking of which, Hanako, did you know that using teleportation can cause a dizzy feeling, similar to seasickness..."

Hearing this, Hanako Natsukawa subconsciously loosened her grip and showed a shocked expression.

"Is there actually such a side effect..."

Miss Mary just shook her head.

"No, I don't have that problem. Maybe it's because Onii-chan isn't used to using this ability yet?"

"Oh, by the way, don't try to change the subject. I'm asking you why you're fighting with the other party. I'm so looking forward to today's battle!"

Hanako Natsukawa puffed up her cheeks, seeming a little dissatisfied with Inoue Ueya's attitude. She had been looking forward to this long-awaited battle for a long time!

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya couldn't help but sigh, stared at Natsukawa Hanako silently, and then took her hand.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Don't think about that. Before Sadako finishes cooking, come to my room and I'll play games with you!"

Well, now Inoue Ueya only thinks of using this method to make Natsukawa Hanako forget about it.

But Hanako didn't think so.

He actually took my hand and asked me to go to his room to play games together?

Humph, I guessed right, this guy is definitely interested in me...

"Go ahead, I'm not afraid of you, a gaming idiot!"

Seeing Hanako's face gradually turning red, the girls frowned and realized that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

"Well, Sachiko has to go too!"

"Oh oh oh, I want to go too. I want to go too."

Then, Mari and Kotoko followed into Inoue Ueya's room.

"Hey, hey, what do you want to do while I'm cooking? Don't stick to Ueya!" Miss Sadako said angrily as she ran out of the kitchen.

……

At the same time, the Crow Tengu finally arrived at the base of the Ushio-gumi.

As early as when they were in the villa, the Crow Tengu had talked to Iwanaga Kotoko about Ushiki, and learned from her that Ushiki was the culprit who instigated the Old Rat Group to kidnap Nura Rikuo's friends.

After all, as the god of wisdom of the monsters, Kotoko Iwanaga is the "princess" of the monsters and a reliable existence in their eyes. The Crow Tengu did not doubt what she said and rushed towards the Ushio-gumi's base.

After opening the paper sliding door, Crow Tengu was stunned to see the room in a mess. There was a hole in the floor caused by some powerful attack.

Looking around, they finally found the Nura Rikuo they were looking for lying on the floor in the corner, seemingly unconscious.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

and also……

"This guy with half his body stuck in the wall...could he be that bull ghost?"

What on earth happened in the past few tens of minutes?

"Anyway, take them all back to headquarters first, and don't forget to tie up the traitor Niu Gui!"

In the previous Old Rat incident, although that time was not like the original work, Old Rat was killed before forcing Nura Rikuo to give up inheriting the third generation.

But the incident at Tsuneyama became very clear. Although no one knew what happened, the Ushio did send people to attack Nura Rikuo. This was enough for the Crow Tengu to judge him as a traitor to the Nura group.

One of the Crow Tengu took a closer look at Nura Rikuo. Although he had already recovered from his demonic state, his injuries did not seem serious.

"Hey, Kurohamaru, come over here and help me. I can't pull the Ushi-Oni out of the wall by myself!"

No one knew what Niu Gui had gone through. He seemed to have been knocked out by someone, and his body was stuck firmly on the wall.

"It's unbelievable that a veteran from the Ushio-Ghost Group would be beaten so badly..."

"Humph, now he is no longer a senior, but a traitor."
