Tuesday, night, the streets of Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Under the dim street lamps.

High school girls walking in deserted alleys.

Holding a signed CD that he had just bought from a book signing, he put it in his backpack with great importance.

Today is a CD signing session for her favorite artist.

She lied to her family, saying that she was going to study at her classmates and would come home later.

In fact, he secretly ran out to buy and sign CDs.

……

Fortunately, I rushed over as soon as school ended, and I bought a limited number of signed CDs at the last few.

The high school girl thought happily in her heart.

I saw the idol up close just now, she looked so beautiful, she spoke well, and she shook hands...... Hiss.

The high school girl suddenly shuddered.

I don't know where a cold wind suddenly came.

Night, quiet, dark.

Only then did she notice that there was no one around, and she was quiet and cautious.

"Hmm...... Why is there no one on the street ......"

The female high school student looked at the dim street, and the street lights seemed to be running low on electricity, and she was unconsciously a little scared and quickened her pace.

One is not careful.

"Ah......h

The high school girl tripped and fell.

"What a pit in the ground!"

The high school girl covered her leg that had been hurt by the fall, but fortunately she had long cotton socks to protect her knees.

There is a shallow pit in the pavement of the smooth brick road, and the cut surface is flat, as if it has been neatly cut off.

The high school girl complained and stood up.

It was still empty, only her voice echoed through the empty streets.

Spooky, scary.

The high school girl swallowed her saliva, and there was more and more indescribable fear in her heart. When I turned around, under the street lamp pole in the distance, it seemed that half a tall 'figure' was exposed.

That...... What is that......

The female high school student walked away in a panic, walked forward quickly, and looked back from time to time in a panic to confirm.

Fear gradually overshadowed reason.

But the 'figure' seemed to teleport, and with a turn of effort, it suddenly appeared under the lamp pole at a distance of nearly a distance.

It's closer.

The female high school student vaguely saw it more clearly.

The 'figure' was unusually tall, twice as tall as her classmates in her school's basketball club.

Under the dim street lamp, half-hidden in the dark, half-exposed face, scarlet and scary

Without saying a word, he stared at her from afar.

……

The female high school student didn't know if she was dazzled or what, and she was very scared now.

She trotted up and looked back...... Gone?

The terrifying 'figure' was gone.

But that feeling of oppression has not disappeared, in the silent streets, the sense of fear brought by the disappearing 'figure' is even stronger!

Around the walls, on the ground, on the signal lights, on the parked vehicles, there are large holes with neat cuts, as if something has dug a piece alive.

No one, still no one around.

The high school girl was already frightened by these weirdness, and while running fast, she picked up the phone and wanted to call someone she knew, but it showed no signal.

She ran as fast as she could, and although she could no longer see the strange figure in her vision, she always felt that something was following her and that she was about to be caught.

Suddenly.

"Yikes!"

The high school girl turned her head and turned back, and was stopped by a figure in front of her.

She screamed in fright!

The other party turned his cane with one hand, smiled slightly, and said gentlemanly:

"Kid, come home early from school."

Hans Christian Andersen held a lighter box in one hand, and the faint light dispelled the invisible terror.

"Kid, I'll take you to the station."

He hung his cane around his waist and walked freely to guide the high school girls.

The high school girl was already a little frightened, and she didn't know how to react at all, except to follow the light of the lighter box that the only thing that her fear could not cover.

When she comes back to her senses.

Already standing at the entrance of the subway station.

With the endless flow of people around her, she seems to have returned to the bustling city of Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

What just happened?

The high school girl turned back in confusion.

The gentleman with the lighter box just now was gone.

……

Ikebukuro Ichiban Street, next to the street on the roof of a six-story building.

Two figures stood on the roof of the building.

Shan Lu Zodd and Su Qi.

Look down.

Ikebukuro Ichiban Street, which is bustling on weekdays, is exceptionally quiet today, and there is no one left.

As for the reason for being so quiet......

A layer of mysterious mystery surrounds the streets of Ikebukuro Ichiban Street, like an invisible lock, sealing the streets of Ikebukuro Ichiban Street.

The chains rang loudly.

'Alibaba, Sesame Closes'

The entire block of Ikebukuro Ichiban Street was blocked off by Ali Baba, Yamaruzode.

In the blockade of Banban, Andersen was holding a lighter box to send a few passers-by who had not yet been evacuated safely.

……

"Are we going to stay here all night?"

Su Qi said, looking at the street below.

A tall, terrifying figure was appearing and disappearing in various parts of the street below.

Every time you wander a place, there is always a wind blowing.

On the surrounding ground, buildings, and street lamps, a large piece will be missing, leaving a neat facet.

It was as if the wind had carried it away, and the gods were hidden.

"No, it can't get out of my blockade, we just need to evacuate everyone, and that guy should be gone before dawn."

Yamaruzod yawned.

Because she has the divine object 'Ali Baba', she often participates in the work of locking down the scene, and she is very experienced in this kind of thing.

"When Hans Christian Andersen evacuates all the ordinary people, we can evacuate."

"Do we have a way to deal with this guy?"

Su Qi looked at the terrifying figure wandering the street and asked.

"Yes, yes, a ghost god of the abyss layer, if you really want to find a way, it is not difficult to deal with it, but there are some other problems."

"Grab the decapitation cycle?"

"On the one hand, on the other hand, Director Alice told the local psykers in Tokyo about the Tengu's appearance, and said that he would help them."

"Let the Tokyo psionics deal with the tengu?"

Su Qi frowned and thought about it, and suddenly realized.

"The councilor wants to muddy the waters? By the way, the 'revival of the ghost king' of ninety-nine-eighty-one is also stirred up? ”

"It's just a temptation."

Yamaruzod said,

Su Qi nodded, but in a place where Shan Lu Zodd couldn't see, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said:

"Don't we have to do a little bit of preparation?"

"Theoretically, we need to prepare a hand, and if those Tokyo psykers overturn, we'll have to clean up the mess for them."

"Got a solution?"

Yamaruzod shook his head.

"There is no specific plan, but it doesn't matter, I'm responsible for blocking the scene, Hans Christian Andersen evacuating the crowd, and if there is no idler Green, just throw this only idler who has no effort on it when the time comes, and let him find a way to solve the ghost."

“……”

Su Qi swallowed his saliva, poor Mr. Green, he thought about it for a while, and then pretended to suggest:

"I have an idea."

"How's it going?"

"I think it's very feasible, but I can't do it myself, I need some support."

Yamaruzod is interested.

"Tell me."
