The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

"Kyojuro met Fangishi Yangming and Mr. Yushiro, and was about to enter the station."

In Ubuyashiki's mansion, Amane wears a mini-mechanical pill, and tells Ubuyashiki Yoya who is beside him the news of the battlefield that she has received.

"Do you need to stop it?"

"No, I believe that child." Yaoya who was flipping through the documents said, looked up and smiled at her, "The Purgatory family has inherited swordsmanship for generations, although it is not as good as in the Taisho period, the current Xingjurou has surpassed ordinary people. Combat level, just remind him before facing the curse spirit, he will know what to do."

"I understand."

At this time, besides them, there are Yokokichi who is manipulating hundreds of mini-mechanical pills in the house, and Butterfly Kanae and Oribe Taichang who are assisting beside him.

The former volunteered together with several other pillars to protect the residence of Ubuyashiki, while the latter was specially invited as foreign aid.

People irradiated by the moonlight with crazy colors will fall into different degrees of real hallucinations, where they will encounter all kinds of weird or evil spirits in rumors-these are all brought into the realm by the dark evil god, and begin to fight against something that affects reality.

Therefore, Butterfly Kanae and Oribe Yasunaga are processing the information obtained by the mini mechanical pill.

"What's the name of that mountain?... Rishang Mountain? No, you can't go up it! It's the location of the 'Night Spring' that is rumored to be connected to the Underworld. People who go up the mountain will be forced to put them in boxes and make sacrifices. "*

"I found a man covered in spots in the cyan forest?...Uh, anyway, collect some honey and poisonous weeds first, and please be mentally prepared, because you may spit it out in a while..." *

"Find yourself in an empty parking lot, and hear a phone ringing in a public phone booth?... Pick it up, but after you pick it up, you can't answer anything related to 'eyes', even homonyms and foreign languages!"*

In this way, they told Yuxingji the way to crack the weird one by one, and then passed it on to the people at Shibuya Station by puppet manipulation.

Occasionally they come across something they don't even know, and other people in the Ubayashiki mansion will help gather information.

And on the Shibuya battlefield, Butterfly Shinobi is going around to treat the wounded. Iguro Kobane and the magician act together, and it seems that they have encountered an evil spirit like an old man with a blade stuck in his throat, which is not easy to deal with.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

"...Suspected user of Breath of the Sun?" Tianyin suddenly received a message, so she looked at Undead Kawa Miniya next to her, "Please help me confirm whether Tanhiko Kamado is at home."

"He is here, and Kamado Tanjiro is also by his side." Miniya quickly gave the answer, "According to the previous instructions, none of the ghosts approached the Shibuya battlefield."

"...So that's the case, it's probably the legendary Ji Guo Yuan Yi." Yaozai quickly realized, "Who is his opponent?"

"A man with short black hair and a scar at the corner of his mouth. Looks tough. Their fight has been going on for a long time."

Tianyin replied, frowning slightly.

The enemy's preparation is much stronger than she imagined. If this continues, I don't know what the situation will become.

To be honest, she has always had a bad feeling.

"Master Yaozai..."

"It's okay, Tianyin."

Yaoya just said this to her.

"Even if the process will be very difficult, in the end... it will definitely get better."

……

22:14, Shibuya Station, Exit 13.

Less than two hours before the deadline for the arrival of the evil god, Fangishi Yangming, Yushiro and Purgatory Kyojuro came to the underground of the station again.

The outer tent was visibly useless to the naked eye, because the chaotic domain continued to erode the boundary, causing the blood-red moonlight to illuminate an ever-increasing range, and it seemed that it was going to go beyond Shibuya, but was stopped by another force.

"It's an enchantment created by a sorcerer named 'Tianyuan'." Yushiro explained, "Although there is no way to break through further for the time being, I don't know what will become of that guy after he descends."

Fang Shi Yangming nodded understandingly, he had served as an assistant supervisor of the High School, so of course he knew what kind of Tianyuan existed.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Purgatory Xingshourou.

"The platform on the fifth underground floor has been shrouded by the god's alien world, and many people are trapped inside. You will need to get those people out later."

"Hmm! I got it!"

"there's one more thing……"

He said something to Xing Shoulang, and soon, they reached the edge of the fifth underground floor.

As if waiting for it, 'Xia Youjie' also came back here.

"Fang Shi Yangming." The black-haired man read out his name slowly, "There is also one of the pillars, Purgatory Kyojuro, and the last ghost... Mr. Yushiro who also stole my things."

"The thing you want is in his hands, so I brought him here." Fang Shi Yangming said, and said to the sky, "Then, I will trouble you, Mr. Yansheng."

In an instant, countless staggered blade winds rushed towards 'Xia Youjie' in a posture of sealing off any action, and accompanied by countless round moon blades, they bombarded the subway track fiercely.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and the curse spirit wailed and turned into nothingness, while the intact 'Xia Youjie' just patted the ashes on his body.

"It's really... an unsurprising move. Fortunately, I thought you could do something interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his arm. When he looked down, he saw that Yushirou had already attacked him with a charm that concealed his figure at some point, and pierced the blood collection device into his forearm.

"Is this interesting?" The light purple Oni Hitomi stared at him, dripping blood into the black box.

but……

"Hehe...hahaha!!!"

Nothing happens.

In the laughter of 'Xia Youjie', Yushiro was almost attacked by another curse spirit, and at the critical moment, he was brought back to safety by Ji Guoyansheng.

"It's a pity, your information is still not complete." He smiled, looking at the frowning last ghost, "The necessary conditions for becoming a Dazhu include having a long-term karma and donating blood- —It has to be voluntary.”

"how come……"

"Hurry up and get out, the next era doesn't need such a boring existence like you."

After 'Xia Youjie' finished speaking, he ignored Yushiro and turned his attention to the thoughtful Fang Shi Yangming.

"That's all your plan?"

"Well...Compared to this, do you feel that there is no one around you?"

'Xia Youjie' froze for a moment, only to realize that the golden-red haired Zhong Zhu had disappeared at some point.

Is it...

He turned his head suddenly, and then saw a crack that opened suddenly, and Purgatory Kyojuro jumped out of it, and Gojo Satoru was brought out by his arm.

"According to the plan, I came back successfully!"

The boy said heartily and landed on the platform.

As an important existence that awakens the power of the evil god, the central pillar naturally resonates with it to a certain extent.

It is still possible to find the location of the enchantment and open it.

"It seems that I'm better than you." Seeing the success of the plan, Fang Shi Yangming heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"Oh, you have no idea what you're doing."

'Xia Youjie' squinted his eyes and looked at him, but in the next second, he was pulled out of the station by the collar of the silver-haired man.

If it wasn't for the resurrection of Xia Youjie, this 'corpse' was necessary. He would have smashed this guy into pieces, and even his bones were crushed into ashes.

"call……"

Fang Shi Yangming let out a long sigh of relief, followed by his brain running crazily.

——There is only one question left, who should be the candidate for Da Zhu?

Currently, the only qualified person is Mr. Iwakatsu, but for some reason, he instinctively felt that the choice was wrong.

After all, he was the evil spirit that those guys forcibly brought out from hell for their plan.

Fang Shi Yangming's mind was running wildly, and at this moment, a mini puppet in the shape of earphones suddenly fell from the ceiling.

"This is Yuxingkichi, Mr. Fangshi, I need to tell you something."

"Varied……"

In an instant, news came from his ears one after another. The trajectories of the conjurers and the casualties so far were reported to Fang Shi Yangming. Before he had time to be surprised, he suddenly heard a message:

"The two-faced Su Nuo woke up in front of the Meiji Palace and killed many warlocks, including Misa Mine Mitsuji."

"..."

Blank.

At that moment, Fang Shi Yangming couldn't think of anything in his mind. He stared blankly at the front, and it took a long time before he could ask a question.

"You're talking about that Misamine Mitsuji who possesses the dream spell...?"

"Yes, according to intelligence, she was eager to find the two girls she took in and came to the station alone, so she was not well prepared, and was killed by Su Nuo who suddenly woke up, and the two girls also died. "

"..."

Oops.

This is, completely bad.

"Your complexion is very bad?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side. It belonged to a child, but it didn't have the innocence that a child should have. Instead, it was replaced by indescribable irony and cruelty.

"Is something wrong? Big brother."

"...Well, I just didn't expect it to happen so suddenly."

Fang Shi Yangming wanted to shrug his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, but found that he couldn't do it.

Now that Misakami Mitsuji is lost, the plan can be said to have collapsed across the board. He originally planned to let Mitsuji bring Mimi in. After reuniting with Huimo Li Huazi, he will use the combination of the two to revive Xia Youjie. Now it seems that the plan was directly destroyed.

And...to be honest, Mitsuji's death kind of prevented him from continuing to think.

Do you think from the perspective of the mantra first? ...no, that's not okay either...

"If Ji Guoyansheng doesn't become a 'big pillar', he will never be saved, and he will probably linger in this world forever, until the world is destroyed, until there is nothing left, and he will exist alone forever .”

Evil God's smiling words echoed in his ears, disturbing his thinking at the same time.

"He has no choice at all, so hurry up and don't waste time."

In order to achieve the goal... a way must be found.

I must……

While he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of fiery red in the corner of his line of sight.

……

It was a color like the scorching sun, and all the haze was swept away in an instant.

It is very similar to the sword technique used by Kamado Tanjiro seen on the train before, but this time the color seems to be more proficient and intense.

Someone broke into the fifth floor of the basement.

Immediately afterwards, the young man who used the breath of the sun to scatter the afterimage of the evil god lightly fell to the ground, stood up with his knife back, looked at everyone present, and finally stopped his gaze on Fang Shi Yangming and Yan Sheng next to him .

"...Yuanyi?"

Ji Guoyansheng stared at him blankly.

The man had the same appearance as him, except that he was injured and looked a little embarrassed at the moment, and half of the knife was lost, obviously after a fierce battle.

"Brother." Yuan Yi nodded and smiled at him, "It's really been a long time, it's a pity that I don't have time to say goodbye."

"You're thinking……!?"

"I have heard the conversation just now, please give me the blood collection device, I will become a big pillar," the young man said calmly, looking at Fang Shi Yangming, "After I seal him, use the prison gate to seal us Seal it together, so that there will be no problems, and it will not be controlled by someone with a heart."

Of course, it is not only 'Xia Youjie' who wants to use the power of the evil god, but also the high-level people in the magic world who are still well hidden.

"Have you really thought about it?" Fang Shi Yangming asked him, "Being sealed into the prison gate means that you will not be able to return to reality for hundreds of thousands of years..."

"I have this awareness."

There was only clarity in the young man's red eyes.

……

The specific process of sealing, Fang Shi Yangming did not remember clearly.

He just felt that everything happened very suddenly, and the black child didn't utter any protest or bewitching words from the beginning to the end, and just silently watched the few humans in front of him seal him up.

Everything points to anomalies.

But it seems that things here can be counted as coming to an end.

Fang Shi Yangming was going to Meiji Palace Station to check the situation. He always felt that he had to confirm the status of Misamine Mitsuji himself, otherwise he would not believe it no matter what.

Ordinary people on the fifth floor of the basement were led by Purgatory Kyojuro to evacuate in the direction of the exit in an orderly manner. Yushiro sat in the corner, silent as if feeling tired.

It seemed that there was no need to stay here anymore, so he took steps in the direction of Meiji Palace.

"Let's go, Mr. Iwakatsu."

no respond.

Moreover, it seems that something that has been with me has disappeared.

"Mr. Iwakatsu!?"

He turned his head and looked around, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from upstairs.

That is……

what is that?

—Someone was killed.

The bright red blood dripped on the ground, which was extremely dazzling.

Why……

In the field of vision, the blond-haired boy was lying in a pool of blood, and standing in front of him was Ji Guoyansheng who was still dripping blood from his knife.

"Yansheng...Mr.?"

"Do you actually want to call me by that name? Forget it, anyway, things like names don't matter to existences like us, right?"

Fang Shi Yangming's pupils constricted suddenly - because Yan Sheng, who turned his head in his field of vision, had only a dark face.

"What are you so shocked for? Of course I have a backup," the black chaos said, falling in front of him, and walking step by step, "When I am suppressed and sealed by a powerful existence, I will be able to devour Jiguo Yansheng... probably is such an insurance measure, oops, I didn't expect it to be used so soon."

"Then, Prison Gate..."

"What are you talking about? The things transformed by Buddhist and Taoist monks are indeed very powerful, but that's all there is to deciphering them."

……

Yes, how could he forget.

This guy is an unreasonable, all-knowing and omnipotent evil god.

"Next, as long as I kill the remaining eight central pillars, I will be completely free." 'Jiguo Yansheng' raised the knife in his hand, and the blade that was originally made of ghost flesh and blood has now become He touched the red Hellblade in the black, exuding an ominous breath, "Do you have any other way to stop me? It's better to take it out quickly, I'm impatient."

Fang Shi Yangming looked at him for a long while, then just lowered his head.

"Nothing."

But now Wutiaowu is gone, and once Jiguoyuan is sealed, he is completely free.

At 10:31 on October 23, the Nine Pillars were slaughtered.

At 23:55, with Shibuya Station as the center, an abyss with a radius of several kilometers appeared.

The thing called 'the future' decayed away, leaving only a hellish landscape.

People screamed to escape, but were drawn into the abyss and fell into it, one after another, one after another.

The end of the world has arrived.

December 11, 1:05

This time should belong to the dawn, but now it is still shrouded in the scarlet moonlight.

The cold wind blew Fang Shi Yangming's clothes, he stood on the edge of the abyss, beside him was an evil god who looked like Ji Guoyansheng.

"Be honored," He said, "I will send you into My Paradise myself."

Then, the sky spins.

Was taken by the general.

Why is this? Is it because I am too weak as a human being?What went wrong?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was suddenly interrupted by another thought.

——So what if you know about that kind of thing?

Even if I knew what was wrong, what could I do?

Consciousness fades away.

He blankly looked at the mouth of the abyss that was getting farther and farther away from him, and at this moment, something fell out of his arms.

Fang Shi Yangming stretched out his hand subconsciously, and then grabbed the dagger that Qianzhishi gave him.

The cold blade pointed at the scarlet sky above, and the young man's vision gradually regained focus.

"Huh? Up to now, are you still looking for something?" The voice of the evil god appeared in his ear, "But it's a pity that your opponent is me. The situation of Xiushui can't be compared with the situation now. Whether you No matter how many times you repeat, no matter how hard you struggle, the ending is already doomed.

You are just a human being, and humans are only my playthings after all. "

Desperate.

Such a hopeless situation was probably preordained from the beginning of a certain ceremony 100 years ago, it was decided upon the establishment of the upper echelons of the magic world, and it was irreversible from the moment human beings became ambitious.

"……Ha ha."

Fang Shi Yangming suddenly laughed.

It was a smile that was weirder than anything the Evil God had ever seen, and it didn't look like the expression a human should have at all.

"you……?"

For the first time, he was confused.

Facing the confused chaos, Fang Shi Yangming, who was still falling in the darkness, just waved the dagger in his hand.

"Do you know what this is?" His tone was bright, "This is something that used to be a godslayer... But this form may not be suitable for me... For me, it should be a key."

Then, the dagger in his hand disappeared.

At the same time, in the abyss connected with the human heart, a silver key appeared.

The solid, old-fashioned silver key was held in Fang Shi Yangming's hand.

"Actually, I felt something similar when I was resting," he said, pointing the key at the darkness in front of him, "It's just that the feeling is more obvious this time... And, it really is 'silver' of."

"...Struggle as you please." Evil God seemed to have anticipated something, but remained unmoved, "No matter what you do, it is impossible to change the doomed ending."

"Really? Then let this struggle be engraved on the end of human beings, isn't it good?"

After Fang Shi Yangming finished speaking, the world turned into a thin white line with him as the center.

There is no sense of time, no sense of space.

Like the boundaries of the world.

The sound of the heartbeat resonated with the voice of the stars, and then——

That thin thread of the human soul... across the 'gate'.

……

"Thank you for being here."

In the chaos, a white sheep appeared in front of him.

"I died in the battle with Su Nuo, but my spirit stayed in the dream, so I can see you here."

"Because of your choice, the world has a series of chain reactions, so next time, how about trying the route with Xia Youjie's resurrection as the first condition?"

"Then good luck."

……

April 10

19: 03.

JR Yamanote Line.

Where no one noticed, the short brown-haired youth put a key in his pocket.

Then, the key disappeared.

The author has something to say: *The spotted man in the forest and the phone booth that cannot lift his eyes are the stalks of the game "Dead Mark", and Rishangshan is the stalk of the game "Zero: The Priestess of the Crow".

-

Did not expect it!This key is actually the key that needs to be collected to open other lines in the original game of Werewolf Village!As the chapter title says, this is KEY1 [in the abyss], and then we have to collect other KEYs, and then it is the ending.

In the original work of Human Wolf Village, all the keys are copper-colored, but here I privately set up Yangming to get the silver key... In fact, there is a hint (express) of the silver key in the Cthulhu mythology.

In short, it is the elements of the original work of Werewolf Village, plus the game "gnosia", which is also a Loop series werewolf killer (this is also a game with a strong plot! Super recommended! I always like SQ! (shut up with private goods) )) It gave me the inspiration to integrate the silver key of the grams into the loop works, and finally formed the current situation.

And...Yinyao Yangming...looks surprisingly symmetrical.
