I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Um, Mr. Limbo...why did he suddenly rush over like a vicious person and then cut himself with a knife?"

"Haha! Who knows?"

Nurarihyona's beautiful eyes curved slightly like crescent moons, and she elegantly covered her slightly raised red lips with her sleeve. "Maybe... his conscience suddenly came to him, and after realizing how unforgivable his sins were, he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he committed suicide by seppuku, hehe!"

Chapter 546 Yamamoto's Brain

Underground, the subway travels through the tunnel, as if heading towards deeper darkness.

Now, almost everyone in Tokyo is talking about topics related to monsters and Nura Rikuo, even in this subway.

"As long as Nura Rikusei dies, we can be saved, right? Should we go over there too?"

"No, I heard Shibuya has become a no-man's land... and that guy has companions with him, so there's no guarantee they won't be killed."

"It seems that Mr. Iwamasa is gathering a group of people in the Ikebukuro area to give chase."

"Really? So cool!"

"The girl next to Nura Rikuo is so cute..."

"I heard it was a snow girl."

"Huh? So it's a monster?"

Although there were many people standing on the subway, Yuanchao was the only one sitting there.

He listened to the conversations of the people around him with an expressionless face, occasionally raising his eyebrows slightly to show a hint of interest.

Until one moment, a fat man sat down next to Yuan Chao. The seat that could originally seat three people became crowded after he sat down.

"Happy! Really happy!"

After the portly man sat down, he immediately started chatting with Yuan Chao excitedly, "Hide and seek... I'm amazed you could come up with this game. It's like going back three hundred years... No! Maybe it's even more interesting than back then!"

Yuan Chao glanced at the portly man and said indifferently, "It's amazing you found this place."

"At least I know where everyone is... After all, we were originally the same person."

Before the split, they were all part of the Demon Lord Yamamoto Gorozaemon.

Encho is Yamamoto's [mouth], Aojizo is Yamamoto's [left eye], Kagami is Yamamoto's [hand], Juzaburo is Yamamoto's [face], and Raiden is Yamamoto's [bone].

The fat man sitting next to Yuanchao is Yamamoto's [brain], and can be said to be the core of Yamamoto Gorozaemon. Yamamoto Gorozaemon, who fell into hell after his death, can connect to the real world through this Yamamoto's [brain]. In other words... he can be said to be Yamamoto Gorozaemon himself!

"By the way, how's our collection of fear going?"

The fat man...Yamamoto, asked this question impatiently, and it was obvious that he cared about the matter.

"My ankles, pinky toes, and fat all hurt. Just now, I even lost feeling in my bones and skin... Did Raiden and Shuzaburo get killed? Although they were caught off guard, the Nura Clan reacted quickly... So, our plan wasn't affected, right?"

Gradually, more and more people on the train noticed that the train's trajectory was a little abnormal, and an uneasy atmosphere spread in the carriage.

Seeing that Yuanchao remained silent and did not answer, Yamamoto couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Hey! Yuanchao, I have a question for you. How is our collection of fear going?"

Yamamoto tilted his head to look at Yuanchao and said condescendingly, "This is related to the ultimate goal of our Hyakumonogatari Group... It's related to the resurrection of me, Yamamoto Gorozaemon!"

"……Don't worry."

Yuan Chao's lips curled up slightly, and with a chilling smile, he slowly spoke, "The destination of this car... is where we collect fear. You just need to wait patiently. Everything is proceeding according to my plan."

"Really? That would be great."

After hearing Yuanchao's answer, Yamamoto's body, which had been tense just now, gradually relaxed.

"Madoka... I've entrusted everything in the Hyakumonogatari Group to you. I support your plans unconditionally. You must not let me down."

"Please rest assured that everything is proceeding as planned."

Yamamoto nodded approvingly, but the next moment, Yuanchao's low voice entered his ears like a nightmare.

"When dawn arrives, you will be the evil destined to be conquered, and with your own death, you will elevate Nura Rikuo to the altar."

"!!!"

A chill ran through his body. Yamamoto stood up from his seat in shock and looked at Yuanchao in great shock.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about! Yuan Chao!"

Just then, the atmosphere around them changed.

A high school student browsing his phone, a tired-looking civil servant, an elderly man hunching over...all these passersby rushed over at this moment and pressed Yamamoto, who hadn't reacted yet, to the ground.

“You…you guys…!”

The surprise and panic lasted only a moment, and then it was followed by a rage that almost burned out all reason.

"Just a few ordinary people...die!"

Although he has no fighting ability, Yamamoto is still a powerful monster after all. How could he be held down by a few ordinary humans!

So, Yamamoto burst out with his own strength, showing his powerful physique as a monster... but he couldn't move.

How can it be? !

Yamamoto trembled in his heart and was puzzled.

Why...why are just a few humans able to surpass me in strength!

"Hmm... Judging from your expression, you seem confused?"

Yuanchao slowly squatted down in front of Yamamoto who was pinned to the ground. The smile on his face looked like a mockery to Yamamoto.

"How is it? Are you doubting whether this place you are in is real? Are you questioning whether the scene you see is true? Do you need me to answer your questions? If you ask me, I will."

"Yuanchao..."

Suppressing his inner anger and panic, Yamamoto shouted at the man in front of him, "What are you going to do? What are you planning? Do you know who I am?"

"You're really... noisy."

Under Yamamoto's gaze, the smile on Yuanchao's lips slowly disappeared.

Yuan Chao slowly raised his hand, and sharp nails grew on his five fingers.

And then… he stabbed his finger into Yamamoto’s head.

"Pfft!"

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

Yamamoto let out a wail of pain.

When Yuanchao's fingers pierced into his head, the disguise on Yamamoto's face was torn off, revealing his true appearance - a huge brain.

Yamamoto's head, except for his mouth, was all brain, and Yuanchao's fingers pierced into Yamamoto's brain.

"What are you doing! What are you doing, Yuanchao! Do you even know what you are doing, you bastard?"

"You're so noisy... Take a closer look at who I am."

When these words were uttered, Yamamoto's wailing suddenly stopped, and then, as if he had witnessed something extremely incredible, his chin trembled and a strange cry like a duck with its throat strangled came out of his throat.

"How...how how how how how is this possible! You are not Yuan Chao!"

Yamamoto is Yamamoto's [Brain] and is connected to the senses of all the monsters born from Yamamoto, so he can sense the death of Yamamoto's [Bone] Raiden and Yamamoto's [Face] Juzaburo.

Until just now, Yamamoto could sense the existence of "Yuanchao" in front of him, so he came here, and he thought the person in front of him was Yuanchao. However... just now, Yamamoto was horrified to find that Yuanchao who was connected to his senses was somewhere extremely far away, not the person in front of him!

“Huhu…Hahahaha! You figured it out! You finally figured it out!”

Malice flows in laughter.

The "Yuanchao" in front of Yamamoto had a ferocious smile on his face. He stretched out his hands, pinched both sides of his cheeks, and pulled them hard to the sides.

With a "swish" sound, "Yuanchao" was torn into two halves right in front of Yamamoto, just like a piece of paper.

Then, the blood in Yuanchao's body floated in the air as if ignoring gravity, and condensed into the appearance of Ashiya Doman.

"My technique is, invincible, that's it!"

Yamamoto was so shocked by the scene that he dropped his jaw. After a long pause, he asked the person in front of him in great confusion.

"Who the hell are you?! How on earth did you manage to hide it from me?!"

"Hehe! There's no need to be alarmed or confused. My techniques transcend all things, and my existence transcends spirits and gods. Have you ever heard of the 'brain in a jar'?"

Answering the enemy's doubts attentively was not out of kindness on Ashiya Doman's part, but rather out of his bad taste. He wanted to see the enemy's expression after he understood everything.

"If you remove a person's brain and place it in a tank filled with a nutrient solution that can sustain life, and then transmit various neural signals to this brain, allowing it to maintain normal physiological functions and the illusion of life, the person will think that he is living a normal life, unaware that he only has a brain left."

"I tell this story simply to illustrate that deceiving the brain isn't impossible. I intercepted the channel through which the other monsters in the Hyakumonogatari group transmitted information to you, and forged neural signals... Actually, I've already discovered you, but in order to perfectly simulate the neural signals, I've been patient until now. You can count on me to be honored."

Then, as if to prove what Ashiya Doman said, the "passersby" who had originally held Yamamoto down changed their appearance and all became like Ashiya Doman.

The entire carriage, the entire train...all the passengers are the Shikigami Ashiya Doman.

"Ah, as for my identity... I'm just a mere Onmyoji, nothing to worry about. You can call me Limbo."

As he said this, the smile in Ashiya Michiman's eyes became more intense.

"What a joke, what a joke, what a joke..."

Yamamoto was horrified by the methods displayed by the person in front of him.

Just a mere Onmyoji? Bullshit!

Yamamoto has always believed that this world belongs to monsters, and Onmyoji and the like are nothing but a bunch of liars and shit in front of monsters.

In any case, Yamamoto would never believe that the guy in front of him was just an Onmyoji. The malice that was almost condensed into substance was so strong that it almost suffocated him!

"Anyone, please come and save me! How can I die here? I am... I am Yamamoto Gorozaemon!"

Unwilling to die like this, Yamamoto begins to seek help from the monsters in the Hyaku Monogatari Group.

Location: Shibuya, on a high-rise building.

“Mmm…Mmm…Mmm! Did I hear a cry for help just now?”

Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Ashiya Doman tilted his head and revealed a cruel smile, "It's really... beautiful! It makes my fingers itch. If there was a piano here, I could even accompany you..."

"But this cry for help seems to be directed to you. Do you hear it?"

As he spoke, Ashiya Doman raised his right hand.

I saw a head held in the hand of Ashiya Doman. The eyes, nose, mouth and ears of the head were all dripping with blood, and Ashiya Doman's five fingers were deeply pierced into the head.

The most horrifying thing is... the head is still alive.

Seeing that the other party had not spoken a word from beginning to end, Ashiya Doman said something belatedly.

"Ah, I almost forgot that you can't hear me anymore... Hehehe!"

The one held in Ashiya Doman's hand is Yamamoto's [hand] Kagami, whose ability is to use the brush in his hand to turn people or objects into monsters.

It can be said that given enough time, the number of casualties caused by him alone could even exceed the total number of casualties caused by other monsters in the Hyaku Monogatari group. However, the area he is responsible for is Shibuya, which has the largest flow of people.

Nura Rikuo and his crew had to kill the humans who were turned into monsters by Kagami. In order to protect more people, they had to... Ashiya Doman believed that Nura Rikuo, who was responsible for the third generation of the Nura group, would not be defeated so easily, but he would definitely be disgusted.

So, in fact, Kagami was the first cadre to be defeated, but Ashiya Doman never killed him. Instead, he kept him alive like this because Ashiya Doman needed Kagami to be alive and used the connection between Kagami and Yamamoto to deceive Yamamoto's senses.

"But now that we've got the big fish... you're no longer needed as bait."

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of Kagamihashi in Ashiya Doman's hand was set on fire and burned up bit by bit.

Before being completely burned, a very faint joy emerged in Jingzhai's turbid eyes... as if he had been liberated and redeemed.

Ashiya Doman had lost interest in the Kyoshaiya in his hands because he needed to welcome new guests.

"Well, umm... at a time like this, perhaps I should politely say... welcome?"

Two figures walked towards Ashiya Michiman with heavy footsteps.

One of the people wearing a loose black bathing suit was Yuan Chao.

As the mastermind behind the chaos in Tokyo, at this moment, he was like a follower, following another person.

He was a boy wearing the white hunting robe unique to Onmyoji, with a body as petite as a child and a constant smile on his face.

"You...are the Onmyoji who sent shikigami all over the city and ruined Mr. Yuanshio's plan, right?"

Standing in front of Ashiya Doman, the boy stared at Ashiya Doman, his narrow fox-like eyes slightly narrowed.
