The night is falling quietly, the sky is replaced by stars and the moon, and the ground is also full of colorful lights, indicating that a night life that is more fulfilling than the day is about to begin.
Not all areas have the same rich nightlife, but when it comes to the city of Tokyo, no one would doubt its monotony.
As the most densely populated city in the world, people living here are not only busy, but also under great pressure.
Therefore, various ways of venting are born with the needs of the times...
Bars, clubs, compensated dating, underground bands, are all tools to comfort depressed people at all levels.
On a night with brilliant neon lights, many people linger in various places, but no one pays attention to the calm sea of Tokyo Bay.
Completely different from the azure blue color of the day, without the embellishment of light, the vast sea is like a huge pool of ink, so black that it is terrifying.
Suddenly, the silent sea began to ripple slightly, and near the port where the oil tanker was moored, a dark figure emerged from the water. He climbed up the handrail and his identity was puzzling.
He took off his diving suit and put on his iconic black windbreaker. He packed up the oxygen tank and all the evidence and threw it into the dark sea behind him.
Carrying the black wooden box and golf bag on his back, he looked out at the strange land.
Xu Zhe came to a place that didn't welcome him at all...
There was no excitement or excitement that a tourist should have. After all, I was not in the mood to travel. There were too many things to do...
After taking just ten steps, Xu Zhe strangely stopped and closed his eyes.
"Did you find the clue as soon as you arrived? It seems I have good luck." With a faint smile on his lips, Xu Zhe leaned forward and started running.
"Why did you bring me here? Aren't we going to the disco?" A girl with short fiery red hair and wearing a standard sailor-style school uniform asked her companion softly.
"Don't worry, there's a very special store here. I just discovered it yesterday." The companion was wearing the same outfit, but because her forehead was lowered, her appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Rie, what's wrong with you? I always feel like you're acting weird lately?" The girl with short red hair seemed to have discovered something wrong, because after following this strange companion, she was brought to an abandoned park.
"Really? How come I didn't notice it?" Finally stopping, Rie turned around. Under the dim moonlight, the familiar face was terribly pale. She didn't have such good skin before. "Nami, do you know how beautiful you are?" She slowly raised her slender arms and gently stroked the face she was obsessed with. "Seventeen or eighteen years old, delicate and rosy skin, black and shiny pupils."
"What are you doing? I'm not 'glass'!" Nami opened Rie's hand and took a few steps back. Even though she looked strong on her face, she couldn't help but feel scared in her heart.
"Hehehe, I won't hurt you. Look at your beautiful skin, how can I bear it? I just want your skin. Give it to me!" A glimmer of light flashed in her pupils, and Nami stood there paralyzed like a frog being stared at by a snake. Even if she wanted to shout for help, she couldn't do it.
With a ferocious smile on her face, Rie rushed towards her childhood friend with whom she had played together. She stretched out her right hand and stabbed straight into Nami's throat. The nails on her five fingers suddenly grew 30 centimeters as if by magic, and were as sharp as the sharpest dagger.
Nami closed her eyes instinctively. This was the only thing she could do. A crystal tear slid across her face and dripped onto the cold ground.
"Ah!!!!!" A sharp scream echoed in the sky above the park, and the birds perched nearby were frightened and fled in all directions.
The degree of pain does not need to be described, you can hear it with your ears.
But the one who screamed was not poor Nami, but the hideous-looking Rie.
She was bent over, her left hand tightly covering her right wrist. Her right palm, which was supposed to be on top, was no longer there, and fell in front of Nami.
Black blood continued to flow out of the wound, and cold sweat covered Rie's pale face.
"You... who are you?" Silently stepping back, Rie asked coldly with a slight fear.
"You seem to have got the wrong role. I'm the only one who can ask questions now." A standard Japanese reminder was given, and a sword with a red glow fell in front of Nami's eyes, causing this lucky girl to naturally look at the savior beside her.
A thin body, a black windbreaker, a calm yet terrifying face, and a pair of black pupils that were like an abyss that would not allow any living creature to appear in them.
"Don't be so arrogant, ghost! I'm not a monster you can deal with!" The angry monster roared, let go of the short cracked wrist, and a full skeletal palm suddenly stretched out.
From under the disguised skin, countless terrifying white bones suddenly emerged. In just a few seconds, the well-behaved girl had lost her human form and her skin was torn apart.
"The Bone Girl, a woman who was bullied and insulted in her lifetime, turned into a fierce ghost after death to seek revenge. Since only a pile of bones remained, she needed to steal human skin to disguise herself. She looks quite similar to our Painted Skin Ghost, but you are so ugly..." Xu Zhe lowered his forehead and walked towards the revealed monster with steady steps. He could not feel any fear as a human being. "Answer my question honestly, maybe I can continue to live."
"Go to hell and ask!" He roared and rushed forward at a rapid speed. All ten fingers on his hands grew huge nails of 30 centimeters, like ten sharp blades. Ten silver-white halos were dragged in the air and arrived in front of him in an instant.
In comparison, Xu Zhe was much inferior, with only a flash of red light.
The attacking bone girl stood behind Xu Zhe, lowered her attacking hands, turned around and looked at Xu Zhe blankly.
"Who are you?"
"A stupid monster will remain stupid even if he lives for hundreds of years. I am the one who should ask the questions..." He waved the sword in his hand and put it back into the scabbard.
"But you haven't mentioned it yet..." The last sigh came with a wail, and a clear wound opened up on the head. The arrogant monster was split in half and fell on the cold ground.
There is no essential difference in the beautiful blue fireworks no matter where they are, the only difference is the amount.
“It’s a waste of time to ask you. How can a ‘soldier’ know where ‘that guy’ is…” He walked back to the girl who was standing there motionless. He didn’t do any sentimental thing after being a hero saving a beautiful girl. He just picked up the luggage on the ground.
"Save...save me..." Nami squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, but she was still unable to move.
"Haven't I finished it? You were hit by a soul-fixing spell, and it will dissipate in ten minutes. Good boy, you shouldn't go out at night." Ignoring the pleading eyes around him, Xu Zhe shouldered his backpack and walked towards the exit of the park. His thin back quietly disappeared into the night.
That night, the man who shocked Japan came...
Unfortunately, not everyone likes his arrival...
The next morning, in a beautiful and spacious Japanese courtyard, water bamboos rhythmically tapped the rocks, like a quiet song.
Sitting on the spacious aisle, the "princess" raised her slender hands and gently brewed sweet tea.
The skilled movements and graceful gestures are an art in themselves, surpassing anyone's tea ceremony performance...
Daitengu and Yaqi knelt on either side of the coffee table, quietly accompanying him.
This is a mind-nurturing process...
"Sir..." Suddenly, the boy appeared in front of the empty courtyard, kneeling on one knee. He looked at the other two adults beside Yaqi, and stopped reporting.
"What? Are there some secrets I can't know? Do you want me to step aside?" He picked up the exquisite ceramic teapot and poured it slowly. Under the golden mask was a smiling face, but no one could smile.
"Well, what happened?" Yaqi gave the first instruction, because if he waited for Kyuubi to speak again, his beloved general might not have the chance to speak again...
"Yes, according to the news from below, an extremely powerful demon slayer appeared in an abandoned park in Tokyo Bay last night. The bone girl who had practiced for three hundred years was killed, and no signs of fierce fighting were found at the scene. The analysis team speculated that the opponent acted quickly and was not at the level that the remnants of the Guangming Secret Sect could reach." The boy didn't say anything else, and Yaqi's heart tightened.
"Has any monster ever seen what an exorcist looks like?" Unexpectedly, Daitengu asked more excitedly.
"No, he left the scene without stopping..." The only person the boy could think of was Xu Zhe. "Do you need to take any action to deal with this?"
"No need, just keep monitoring." The one who spoke was Kyuubi, with a gentle voice and a smile, and the listeners felt like they were bathed in the spring breeze. "If he wants to kill monsters, there are no more in that area, so you can transfer some people over. Don't let him feel bored or lonely..."
"Sir, what you mean is..." Da Tengu was confused.
"He came all the way to find me. If he can't train to become stronger, there's no point in him meeting me. And I don't want to kill the 'human version' of Ziya. He must become a god." Kyuubi's eyes had never been so firm, and his hearty smile was full of clear happiness. "The game has begun again, keep chasing me. Life is so lonely without you chasing me..."
The gentle breeze blew the delicate wind chimes under the eaves, like the opening bell.
Daylight reigns over the earth again, and the filth of the night seems to be hidden in dark corners. The streets are filled with people and cars, and the huge lineup silently speaks of the dominance of humans. Living in groups gives cowardly people a ridiculous sense of security, but they don't know that in the eyes of monsters, they are just piles of food...
Among the crowd, there was also someone who didn't fit in. He was carrying a heavy travel bag, wearing a long black leather windbreaker, and his hat was turned up to cover half of his face. Even though the sun in the sky announced a temperature of 30 degrees, this man dressed in early spring did not feel uncomfortable.
Carefully checking the map in his hand, Xu Zhe arrived at the famous Tokyo neighborhood - Shinjuku.
Shinjuku is a great place for shopping during the day, and a famous gathering place at night.
But now, Xu Zhe was not interested in any activity and went straight to a shabby izakaya on the corner of the street.
"Xianqing Food City?" He looked up at the sign, confused.
It is really ironic that the building in front of us is only two stories high and covers only a hundred square meters, coupled with its exaggerated name.
No matter what, this is the reality that I have to accept...
I walked into the store. Probably because it had just opened, there were no customers. The sunlight shone through the window into the narrow interior, allowing me to clearly see the dust floating in the air. I had the urge to cover my mouth and nose.
"It's not open yet! If you want to eat, come back in the evening..." An old voice came from the inner hall, and an old lady came out with the words. She was only 1.3 meters tall, like a dwarf, and her face was full of wrinkles, like a skeleton wrapped in skin. If Xu Zhe hadn't sensed the demonic aura, he would have thought she was a monster.
"Thousand-year-old peach blossoms are blooming..." Pulling off the hat on his head, Xu Zhe really hated such low-level secret codes. He wondered who came up with them
"Stinker, no one has contacted me for thirty years. I have long forgotten this ancient formula." The old lady looked lazy and did not have the nervousness of a spy contact. "Ouyang called me. Someone will come to see me. Are you Xu Zhe?"
"Yes." Xu Zhe was at a loss.
"I have arranged a room for you, it's upstairs. You can use the bathroom from 8 to 8:50 every night. There is a fast food restaurant behind the store with the toilet, you can use it. Also, you must not disturb my rest. The store closes at 12 o'clock every day. If you don't come back, you will spend the night outside. The store will reopen at 9 o'clock in the morning. Also, no one here knows my identity. From now on, we can only communicate in Japanese. To the outside world, you are my grandson, and you have to help me run the store. Do you remember what I said?" The old lady recited her rules continuously.
"I just have one question. Can you tell me your name? Although the Security Bureau has written this contact, there has never been an intelligence officer as old as you." Xu Zhe doubted the old man's identity.
"I have long forgotten my real name. My name here is Granny Yoshida, and you all know my code name should be... Beauty Scorpion." After saying that, the old lady returned to the back hall.
Xu Zhe also followed without any delay, and all his doubts were completely dispelled.
Because her name is exactly the ace intelligence agent forty years ago, the legendary incomparable terrifying woman...
