I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

It seems a bit unfair to say that she has her own emotions, but when she is not out of Inoue Ueya's body, she can also feel the strong feelings coming from Inoue Ueya.

Especially in the current situation, a double sense of fear began to gradually spread in Yasen's heart.

Inoue Ue also frowned.

The more I think about it, the more it seems to be wrong. After all, this "persona" of Arsen is probably also a part of my inner self, right? So, there's nothing wrong with letting her come out and explore this space with me, right?

"Yasen, do you want to come out and walk together——"

Don't even think about it.

No matter how you look at it, no matter how scary a horror movie is, it's never as scary as being there in person. She definitely won't show up this time.

"As expected of another me, when faced with this kind of thing, I refused without hesitation."

After hearing Yasin's answer, Inoue Ue did not force him, but continued to stare at the green screen of the camera, exploring the mental hospital that was recreated by Miss Sadako.

Then Inoue Ueya walked for a long time, but he still didn't encounter any danger. However, the power of the camera was almost exhausted, which made him feel a little anxious.

——Is this also within your calculations, Sadako...

As they were walking, there was suddenly a loud noise and a big hole was punched in the wall next to them. The fat man who liked to chase players walked over from the other side of the wall and stared at Inoue Ueya with malicious eyes.

"Fuck!"

It just so happened that Inoue Ue was also in a distracted state, and when he saw the fat man suddenly appear, he was immediately frightened.

Although this was a fat man, Inoue Ue also thought that the other party looked more like a mutated zombie, especially now that he was grinning widely, his body was covered in blood, and he was holding a human head in his hand, gradually walking towards him...

As for the setting of this fat man in the game, he is probably able to tear people apart with his bare hands. Anyway, for Inoue Ueya in his ordinary state, he is a strong enemy that he cannot fight head-on.

[Run away! Run ...

Arsen's frightened voice came in her mind. It seemed that like Inoue Ueya, she was also frightened by the appearance of the fat man.

Arsen's reaction was a little unexpected to Inoue Ueya, because this "personality mask" gave him the impression of calmness, and he never thought that Arsen would have such a reaction.

How should I put it? She has an unexpectedly cute contrast.

But after all, Yasen is another version of herself, so it's only natural that she would react this way.

You can't laugh at yourself, right?

Inoue Ue didn't hesitate and ran straight forward.

Without having time to carefully explore the things around him, he ran for a long distance, and the footsteps behind him finally disappeared.

Even though getting hurt in Sadako's game space wouldn't affect her body, and even the pain from getting hurt was reduced, it still didn't feel good...

Inoue Ueya slowed down his pace, gasped for breath, turned around and looked at the situation behind him. After finding that the fat man was gone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.

However, when he turned his gaze back to the front, he found that the fat man was standing in front of him, punching his nose hard.

[You're so slow to react, stupid Shik-ya! ]

Chapter 112: Take Care of Your Injuries

"Hmm, my nose..."

Back in the real world, Inoue Ueya covered his nose and looked uncomfortable.

After being freed from the possession, Miss Sadako naturally sat on Inoue Ueya and began to summarize his performance in the game world.

"Idiot, you're too careless! You know the other person isn't a normal person, so you absolutely can't let your guard down. Especially since you're clearly in an unsafe place. How could you just stop like that?"

"No, this doesn't make sense! That fat guy was clearly chasing me from behind, so why did he suddenly appear in front of me?"

Miss Sadako just shook her head.

"If you're facing a monster alone in a human body, you have to get used to the unreasonableness of situations. Instantaneous teleportation and the ability to clone yourself are common abilities, right? Even the slightest hesitation could lead to your death, you know?"

"Ah this..."

Inoue Ue also thought about it carefully. After hearing what Sadako said, her approach seemed to make sense.

Sadako looked at Inoue Ueya who was lost in thought, couldn't help but sigh, walked down from him and opened the door.

"Let's stop here for today's exercise. Staying in a tense state for a long time will affect your health. Ueya, you should rest now. I'll go prepare lunch..."

So, Inoue Ueya turned around and looked at Natsukawa Hanako who was sitting on his bed.

"Hanako, do you want to play games with me?"

Hanako looked at Inoue Ueya's bandaged left hand, and finally shook her head and rejected his invitation.

"No, no, no, your hands can't play games anyway..."

- Oh no, according to the doctor, the fracture in my left hand will probably take a long time to heal. Does this mean I won’t be able to play games for the next few months?

Inoue Ueya finally reacted and looked at his left hand which had not yet healed. The light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"Well, Hanako, do you know of any way to treat the injury?"

"Huh? That's easy, just use your demonic power to sweep over the wound."

"But Mr. Inoue doesn't have any demonic powers?"

"Then let me take good care of my injuries."

Hanako waved her hand and walked out of Inoue Ueya's room, leaving him alone in the room.

Seeing this, Inoue Ue became a little confused.

This is really unbelievable. Today, Hanako didn't use Mr. Inoue's computer to play games, but just walked out of the room?

Come to think of it, when he returned home from the hospital, only Miss Sadako and Hanako accompanied him. Iwanaga Kotoko did call him to explain that she was out handling a commission, but there was no sign of Mari and Yashaku Yuki...

Hmm, are they out exercising?

……

At the same time, Kato Megumi, Slit-mouthed Woman, Yashaku Yuki and Mari were searching for the traces of the Demon God on the street.

Although he told Inoue Ueya that no alien demon god had appeared recently, it was a lie. The girls in the family colluded to tell this lie so that he could rest and recuperate.

So they found Kato Megumi and asked her to continue fighting for the time being.

After hearing the whole story from them, Kato Megumi sighed first, and after thinking for a while, she finally accepted their request.

We can't let the injured Inoue Ueya fight, right? This will only make his injuries worse...

Especially after Kato Megumi met her future self yesterday and learned some things about the future, her feelings towards the boy Inoue Ueya became more subtle.

How should I put it? Am I being tricked by my future self?

Although he replaced Den-O to fight and changed the future, and indeed succeeded in resurrecting Inoue Ueya, this approach also seemed to have caused his relationship with him to be less close than before...

I don't know much about Inoue Ueya himself, but I heard from my future self that he would never forget her, who used to have a very low sense of existence. He saved me several times when I was in danger, and in the end, he confessed to me...

[Since everyone has been rescued, there should still be a chance to capture the enemy, right?]

As she thought about it, all kinds of strange images gradually emerged in Kato Megumi's mind, and a blush flashed across her cheeks, but she immediately returned to her original indifferent expression.

——No, it's too early to think about these things now. After all, the original future has been changed, so what she knows may not happen. She doesn't know much about him either...

It’s better not to think too much about this kind of thing. Now she is looking for the strange demon god that appeared nearby.

"Listen carefully. According to the rumors, this time, a demonic god appeared nearby and attacked passersby. Then, he threw a poster with a boy's image on it and told them to remember the phrase, 'Jade Seal is the Lord of Ghosts and Demons.' Although this only happened yesterday, because the whole incident was so bizarre, it's gone viral online. The boy's poster has also been uploaded online, and police patrols have become more frequent..."

Kato Megumi sighed.

Seriously, why do people always make weird wishes to the Demon God...

"In short, the boy on this poster must be related to the contractor, or even the contractor himself. The goal of this mission is to find him or the Demon God and eliminate him..."

In order to save the consumption of transformation cards, she has been fighting with the help of the power of urban legends recently.

In particular, Yashayuki possesses powerful strength and is proficient in physical techniques. Some ordinary demon gods are basically no match for her.

It's just that Hachishaku-sama's size is too conspicuous, so when she goes out, she has to let Mary follow her. Just like the Twisting Eye Mountain incident, Miss Mary seems to have the ability to reduce her presence. When this ability is activated, even if Hachishaku-sama appears on the street, passers-by will not notice anything.

Then, Yashayuki nodded.

"Today is the day my husband returns home from the hospital. Let's get rid of that demon god as soon as possible and then go back..."

"Well, I haven't been with Onii-chan for a long time. I have to go home early."

Looking at the two urban legends who became full of energy in front of her, Kato Megumi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Then speed up the process. Split into two groups and investigate in different directions. Mary, stay in touch by phone..."

Kato Megumi suggested that they split up and act in groups of two, with Yashayuki and Mari in one group, and Kato Megumi and Slit-mouthed Woman in another, each looking for the traces of the Demon God. If she encounters the Demon God, Yashayuki can use Mari's ability to teleport over to help.

Chapter 113 is my victory!

"Master Yuzhang, our plan to send the monsters out to cause trouble is going smoothly. We have collected a lot of fear from humans, and most of the monsters in the group have also arrived in Chiba from Shikoku..."

Listening to his subordinates' reports on the current situation, Yu Zhang's lost confidence returned again.

Just yesterday, he unknowingly signed a contract with a special being who called himself "Divine Demon". At first, Yu Zhang only regarded the other party as a monster of the Nura clan, and was full of fear for this sand monster that could appear silently in the base.

Yu Zhang could not feel the slightest fear from it, as if the creature in front of him was not a monster. Even if he used his magical powers to split the sand into seventeen parts in one breath, the other party actually had a way to restore it to its original state immediately.

Originally, when Yu Zhang heard that ball of sand claiming that it could fulfill his wish, he didn't believe it.

So he casually said, "I want to be the lord of ghosts and monsters," and the ball of sand suddenly turned into a strange man that looked a bit like a squid.

Yu Zhang, who didn't trust the other party in the first place, naturally attacked it as soon as he saw this guy begin to materialize. However, even if he used all his strength to attack the other party, the body of the alien demon god only flashed a series of weak sparks, and he could not cause any effective damage to it.

On the contrary, Yu Zhang was just hit by it with one punch and then knocked down.

Before falling, Yu Zhang clearly saw the power of the alien demon god. Its fist first shattered the "fear" that surrounded him and acted as a shield, then directly passed through the magical power covering the surface of his skin and hit him in the face.

That tremendous force was beyond imagination. Even the hand-washing ghost in his group could never possess such terrifying strength.

The strange demon stopped attacking after discovering that Yu Zhang had fallen.

Although the contract was established, the Squid Demon God was still a little confused about what it meant to become the lord of ghosts and monsters. After pondering for a moment, it decided to ask Yu Zhang, wanting to know how it should help him realize his wish.

Although Yu Zhang still didn't quite trust the squid monster in front of him and didn't know its origins, he knew he couldn't let it cause trouble here. Moreover, this guy was quite powerful, so there should be room for him to take advantage of it...

"Listen carefully, the so-called 'Lord of Demons and Monsters'..."

In this way, Yu Zhang sent it out to collect "fear" on his behalf. After the alien demon god had been away for a while, he indeed felt an endless supply of "fear" flowing into his body.

A large number of monsters gathered at the base, a large amount of "fear" collected from humans, and - supernatural power!

There is no doubt that this battle with Nura Clan is my victory!

“Hahahahaha——”

Yu Zhang suddenly held his forehead and laughed, and his laughter resounded throughout the entire conference room. The cadres of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade and the monsters who were part of the "Seven-Man Group" all felt an unprecedented confidence in his voice.

However, Yu Zhang didn't know that the "fear" he got from the Demon God came at a price. Because the Demon God had been distributing his posters everywhere, he had fallen into a state of social death on the Internet. Moreover, because of the Demon God attacking passers-by, the police were also looking for him as a suspect. Fortunately, he had not gone out and most monsters did not go online, so no abnormalities were found until now.

"..."

Ye Que stood aside, watching Yu Zhang's expression change frequently in the past few days, and began to feel a little confused. Could it be that this guy has used the "Devil's Hammer" too much, so his brain has problems?

She lowered her head, her eyes subconsciously looking at the bandage-wrapped demon sword that Yu Zhang placed on the table.

The Demon King's Hammer, this demon sword was a weapon she handed over to him according to the order of the Hyakumonogatari Group. She had no intention of giving it to him as a real gift, but only lent it to him temporarily.

I heard that the Hyakumonogatari Clan and the Nura Clan had some grudges a long time ago, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so that's why they lent her the magic sword to Yu Zhang, right?

Well, she's only assisting the Hyaku Monogatari team temporarily.

After all, I am a Shikigami from the Gomonin family, and the real owner is not this third-rate stuff.

Yuyuko in Kyoto is probably almost ready to take action. After "that existence" is resurrected, a half-baked existence like Yuzhang will not be worth mentioning at all. Even if he successfully replaces the position of the Nura clan, the monster world at that time will be cleaned up by that adult again.

……

"Well, the sun is about to set. Is that alien demon god really still around?"

Mary sat on Yashakuyuki's shoulders, her expression beginning to become a little impatient.

It was a rare occasion that Inoue Ueya came back from the hospital today. She had originally planned to stay by his side, but now her plans were ruined by this strange demon.

Upon hearing this, Yashayuki couldn't help but sigh.
