Chapter 45: Slippery Scoop
The burning fire feather erupted with a strong brilliance as Li Wu clenched his fists.
The station and cherry blossom trees dissipate like fortresses on the beach, revealing the dark nature behind them.
Immediately afterwards, even the darkness was cut to pieces by the light, and a large number of hollows appeared.
Behind the hole, you can see the scenery of the real world, but as if connecting different time and space, the scene behind the entrance of the cave is bizarre, there are military generals fighting on the battlefield, and there are also white-collar workers sitting in the office working at the desk, as if facing a grotesque kaleidoscope.
"Li Wu, look at that hole!"
As the dark space gradually collapsed, Hoshikawa Aoi tugged at his clothes.
What appeared in the hole was Yuichi Uehara's youthful face.
It's quite similar to Masaki Uehara, but it's a little more mature, and it's about the age of a college student.
Like the projection screen of a movie, the void depicts the life of Yuichi Uehara quickly and bluntly.
Gifted and intelligent, he has had a smooth life since childhood, progressing to the highest university in the country step by step, and also having a beautiful girlfriend.
Perhaps because of this, he began to feel that his daily routine was dull and boring, and even if he sought various sensory stimuli, he could not save his heart that seemed to have turned to stone.
It was then that he discovered that one day when he was in college, he began to see the anomalous things that lurked in the world: wandering spirits, youkai...... By chance, he learns that it is a talent rooted in blood, a superior inspiration that transcends mortals.
The moment he realized a new worldview, Yuichi Uehara was already tempted.
He was obsessed with finding ways to gain greater strength, live longer, and elevate himself to a higher level of existence, reading ancient books, studying history, and studying the occult......
However, he was able to accumulate profound knowledge, but he could not overcome the barriers set by the principles of the world.
It is said that there are young girls who can become powerful beings with their talents, but Yuichi Uehara is just more inspired than ordinary people.
Ordinary people are not even allowed to recognize the existence of the otherworld, and he is just a poor worm who does not lose his memory.
Recognizing this fact, Yuichi Uehara gradually went crazy, and even out of jealousy of his nephew's excellent talent, he caused a well-proportioned car accident.
It was after that incident that he met the self-proclaimed Order.
The woman dressed as a puppeteer expressed interest in his research and gave him a piece of immature knowledge.
That's how to create youkai and fuse humans with them.
The already distorted deplorable readily accepted, and the first test subject was his girlfriend.
On a rainy day, he takes her to the beach on an excuse to go on a date, pushing the people who trust him into the turbulence, just because he wants to see if such a grudge can give rise to youkai.
At least at the time, he failed.
It was only after he came into contact with the existence of a monster called the Negative Realm that he made further progress.
The void suddenly closed here.
ββ¦β¦ I wanted to unleash a magic cannon in his face even more. β
Hoshikawa Aoi said rather unpleasantly.
"I feel the same way."
However, this has solved many questions, such as the real cause of death of Masaki Uehara's parents, and where the necromancer's technique of fusing with the demon came from.
And why did the wet girl come about, why was he wary of Yuichi Uehara, and why he was close to Masaki Uehara.
She was not directly created, but spontaneously turned into a youkai because of the resentment of being killed by her lover.
There are more and more hollows, encroaching on the dark territory, and finally, in a certain hollow, the scenery of Inawa High School flashed.
"That's the hole!"
Hoshikawa Aoi was about to pull Li Wu up, but the latter stopped.
"Wait a minute, I have a plan when I get out......"
After deliberating, the two of them avoided the erroneous holes that appeared from time to time and jumped out.
As he walked through the void, as if floating to the surface from the dark seabed, Li Wu seemed to experience the loss of pressure when the deep-sea creatures came to the ground, and the boundary between ambiguity and reality suddenly blurred and then broken.
They came back to reality, and it didn't even seem like much time had passed.
Yuichi Uehara, who was on the other side, showed an expression as if he had eaten a toad.
"Oh, the subordinates who are unwilling to be controlled have given them something to crack, relying on the bond between the two to get out of the trap? Seriously, what is this? Am I going to cooperate with your incompetence in the rage next? β
"I think your current performance is enough, are you interested in applying for the job of Chief Happiness Officer at McDonald's?"
Li Wu began the usual mocking session, "Your plan is doomed. β
Uehara waved his hand in annoyance and stopped the youkai who were about to move: "Young man, are you going to snatch the pleasure of commentary from me?" β
This reaction was very much in line with the arrogant character of Yuichi Uehara displayed in the hollow, and he sneered and said contemptuously, "What do you understand? β
"Let's start with the purpose of the game."
Li Wu glanced at Hoshikawa Aoi next to him with his spare eyes, and continued: "Speaking of which, there is more than one tengu who doesn't listen to your command, and I can only guess the answer when I get a hint." β
Miss Mary once said that Yuichi Uehara's goal was to usurp the power of an alien god.
At first, he wanted to diverge into the mythological system of some Amelia's horror novels, but in fact, there should be a closer existence in Sakurajima itself.
It was a large youkai also known as the guest god, and a stranger who would suddenly come to visit someone's house near the end of the evening.
Legend has it that it is the leader of the youkai and a foolish man who is good at manipulating people's hearts.
"There is a kind of youkai that can take advantage of the weakness of the human heart, skillfully weave lies, and disguise themselves as the host's guests."
"Just like you, make up strange stories and dominate youkai - but that's essentially a lie, like a trap you've carefully placed, an illusion like a moon in a mirror."
"What is in the story, it's obviously in the lies you weave, Yuichi Uehara, your essence is-"
γPseudo-Lord of the Hundred Ghostsγ
In the night, Li Wu read out the names of the words he saw.
With the knowledge of creating youkai and the power of the monsters of the negative realm, you can create a hundred ghosts at your disposal.
The act of spreading strange stories is in line with the essence of fooling around the elderly, or manipulating people's hearts.
"You're missing the most important point."
Yuichi Uehara applauded softly, "Without these wonderful creatures that appeared thirty years ago, my plan is just a wild dream. β
He pointed feverishly at the huge eyeballs above: "This out-of-realm power gives me the possibility to break common sense, and its identity as a [guest] of our world has similar characteristics to the power I want to obtain, allowing me to use it using the theory of sympathetic witchcraft." β
"I'm only one last step away, my talent is still too poor, if I can use Masaki's body to fuse with Slippery Scoop, I can become the true lord of youkai."
In his mouth, his nephew was only called an experimental material.
"And you can't stop me!"
The fanatic who tried to defy common sense waved his hand, and the one-man Hyakki Night Walk, which he had created, began to march.
And in this delayed time, the magical girl who was silently preparing raised her magic wand.
The cannon, compressed to its limit, turned into a dim light that ionized the air, crossing the distance between it and its target.
As a result, the giant eyeball, which Yuichi Uehara had high hopes for, annihilated a huge hole in silence, and blood poured from above like a waterfall.
