The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

On the evening of October 10, 31:19.

Tokyo Metro, JR Yamanote Line.

This is a circular train located in Tokyo. The pronunciation is less than that of the Yamanote Line in Kobe, but the wording of the two is the same.

During peak hours, this line is extremely crowded, especially between Ueno Station and Okachimachi Station, two large stations where vehicles meet. The train with a capacity of more than 100 people sometimes even accommodates more than 300 passengers.

At this moment, Fang Shi Yangming took the Yamanote Line during this off-duty time.Tonight is Halloween, so there are many more tourists than usual.

Standing in a corner of the carriage, he heard several female high school students chatting beside him.

"Huh? This picture looks like you, Gong Shi." A girl held a mobile phone and said to the companion next to her, "Look, especially from this angle, it's exactly you."

"It doesn't look like it?" Beside her, the pretty girl smiled in embarrassment, and gently pushed away the other person's mobile phone in front of her, "You must have read it wrong."

"I'll show it to others tomorrow, it's really similar." The girl said affirmatively, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Today's Halloween, do you have any plans?"

"No, I want to go straight home."

……

Fang Shi Yangming didn't continue to listen, because he had already arrived at the station.

19: 10.

Tokyo Metro, Shibuya Station.

The moment he got back to the ground and walked out of the station, he noticed a strange feeling, so he paused, set up a canopy with his hands and looked at the sky, and then, like everyone else who walked out of the station, showed a relaxed expression as if nothing had happened.

Fang Shi Yangming turned his head and glanced at the time displayed by the electronic clock on the wall next to him, then straightened his collar and walked towards the brightly lit street outside the station.

Still on time.Muttering in his heart, he followed the crowd to the fully open intersection in front of Shibuya Station.

The scene in front of me can only be described as a sea of ​​people.

It was already dark two hours ago, but it didn't affect the downtown area in the Halloween atmosphere at all. Rather, the darkness encouraged people's enthusiasm for carnival.

People in strange clothes chatted and walked around, and the young man with short brown hair mixed among them, all the way to the statue of Hachiko not far from Shibuya Station—to be precise, beside the bench formed by the silver fence at the back, and found an empty seat to sit down .

【"Five people... no, six people? There are quite a few conjurers who ambushed here in advance."】

"Most of them should be just auxiliary supervision. If you go inside to check the situation in advance, don't worry about it."

Because it is known in advance that there will be a large number of super magic spirits appearing in important areas of Tokyo, in order to reduce losses, the upper level of magicians will definitely not allow too many magicians to ambush in the crowd, but to 'consume' these easy to find substitutes auxiliary supervision.

...But even so, it's a big battle.

Fangshi Yangming was communicating information with Shinna Myoshin in his mind, while also looking around.He was wearing a long-sleeved jacket today, like an ordinary young man waiting for his girlfriend or friends to come and have dinner and sing together.

But the moment they saw him appear, the auxiliary supervisors must have passed on the news. It won't be long before a large number of conjurers will move nearby.

Thinking this way in his heart, he glanced at the dark sky again.

"Fang Shi...Mr."

Fang Shi Yangming didn't show much surprise when the voice of the boy who hurried over and was out of breath sounded beside him.

Still looking at the sky, he felt the movement of someone sitting next to him, and he opened his mouth after a while.

"Shunpei, has any of you ever dealt with super-level curse spirits?"

Seemingly unaware that he would say this as soon as he came up, Yoshino Junpei was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "No, I just defeated it with my classmates."

His tone was surprisingly calm.

"Then what are you doing now? Could it be that you were dazzled by anger when you saw me who should have been 'exorcised' reappear?"

"...No." Junpei looked at the ground, "To be honest, I was not happy when I heard the news that you were expelled."

Fang Shi Yangming blinked, then smiled: "Really? That's really disgusting."

"After that, I thought about it, thinking about why Mr. Fang Shi is a super-level curse spirit, and why he approached me...Actually, there were times when I thought you were hypocritical and scary, but in the end...I really still, I want to thank you you."

The boy lowered his head, his eyes were covered by bangs, but he could see the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Because you introduced me to the High School of Conjuration, and a lot of good things really happened after I met you..."

"Those can't be used as the basis for judgment. Maybe I did it on purpose just to make you an eyeliner." Fang Shi Yangming interrupted him, "So you came to thank me?"

"One more request."

"what?"

"Although I have received an attack order, I will not do anything here, so I ask Mr. Fang Shi not to hurt ordinary people present."

Oh, that was a real help.

Ji Guoyan Sheng is not around now, and Fang Shi Yangming is worrying about how to deal with it. Since Junpei doesn't want to fight, he will go down the steps.

"I agree." He stood up, "Come on later, don't die easily."

"Ah."

The young man nodded, watching the young man's figure gradually drifting away, at the same time, he heard a commotion coming from a distance.

"Why can't you get out?"

"Hey, don't you think it's a bit too dark?"

"Is this some kind of obstacle?... Can anyone help to call the police? My mobile phone has no signal!"

"mine too……"

People gathered at the intersection of roads leading to other areas, reaching out and knocking on something that trapped themselves in it, like some invisible barrier, and some people tried to break it with sharp objects or blunt objects, but they couldn't make a single star on it. defect.

Panic spread quickly.

And all this is because the 'tent' with a radius of 400m that prohibits ordinary people from entering and leaving has been lowered.

……

The fifth underground floor of Shibuya Light Building ShinQs is directly connected to the subway station. At this time, the platform is crowded with ordinary people waiting for vehicles. They don't know the situation outside, but they feel that the vehicles are coming more slowly than before, and the signal is surprisingly poor. .

The corridors from the basement floor to the fifth floor were crowded. For some reason, many entrances and exits were blocked, as if someone deliberately gathered people here.

Fang Shi Yangming glanced down at the railing on the basement floor, and saw that every floor was crowded with people, so he silently dismissed the idea of ​​going down the stairs, turned over and jumped down from the vent.

Then, easily landed on the subway tracks.

【"Hmph, how does it feel to have the blessing of a god?"】

"Well, I don't really know..." He replied apologetically in his mind, "When I actually jumped down, there was only a blank in my mind."

I don't know anything, but I obviously think it's very interesting.

Raccoon rolled his eyes in his heart and ignored him.

Amidst the chatter of people around him one after another, Fang Shi Yangming walked into the dark underground driveway deep in the track with a calm expression.

"...You are late."

Leu Hu squinted at him.

"Sorry, that, because the Yamanote Line is really crowded at this time, so there was a delay on the road."

As he spoke, he glanced at the staffing present without any trace.

Not surprisingly, 'Xia Youjie', Tuo Gen and Leu Hu are all here, besides this, there is also a young man whom I have never seen before, who is probably a victim of the Nine Phases Diagram of the Cursed Embryo.

"I thought Hana Yu was there too?"

"He has other tasks." It was rare for Louhu not to smoke a pipe. Although his tone was a bit impatient, he still explained, "There are just a few of us here."

Although he said so, he could see his nervousness.

This is no wonder, after all, it is Gojo Satoru who will appear here in a while.

For an opponent of that level, it's hard to muster up the courage to confront him.

Fang Shi Yangming raised his eyebrows, then turned his head to the side, just in time to meet the meaningful eyes of 'Xia Youjie'.

He paused, then nodded slightly.

"Where's the real person?" Fang Shi Yangming changed the topic before Leo Hu and Bao Xiang noticed something, "I remember that he should be nearby according to the plan, right? Why didn't I find it all the way here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him.

"The transformed soul is meaningless, it can only act on instinct, and there is not much room for evil, so I threw him elsewhere."

It was that indisputable, child's voice.

"We meet again, big brother."

The black child looked at Fang Shi Yangming, and seemed to be in a good mood and raised his hand to say hello.

'Xia Youjie' looked at him with some surprise: "I thought it would take at least 10 minutes for you to show up here."

"Who made the panic outside spread so fast." The child said in a cheerful tone, "Disputes, anxiety, fear... We all like such human beings, right? Everyone here?"

"Guru..."

Tuo Gen seemed to be muttering something, but the next second his eyes were widened by Lou Hu, and he stopped severely.

"Shut up, Togen! Don't answer him!"

His shout echoed in the dark subway passage, and it took a long time before it slowly quieted down.

"Hey, that's too much!" said the child, looking at 'Xia Youjie', as if waiting for an explanation.

"Sorry, everyone is just a little out of touch." The Curse Master smiled, "Now is not the time for small talk, let's wait for the enemy to come out."

The scene finally calmed down, but it didn't last long.

In the place where there was light in front, a figure descended from the vent. He stopped in mid-air and looked around, ignoring the exclamations coming and going next to him.

Just one person, but brought great pressure to all the curse spirits.

"That, is Gojo Satoru?" the black child asked.

"Well, it's him, the strongest among human beings." Fang Shi Yangming replied, "Can you handle it?"

"Without a big pillar, it probably won't work." The child touched his chin, and then said, "But, if you let me 'trap him', you can still do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the light that was originally white and bright suddenly turned scarlet.

The walls turned into wriggling pieces of meat, the vending machines turned into weird plants dripping with pus, and the benches turned into screaming unknown creatures, which definitely did not come from the human world, nor were they cursed spirits, but something even more profane...

But in just a split second, the world returned to normal.

"Okay, already."

"What, what's wrong...?"

Leu Hu felt a little speechless, he frowned and looked around, but he didn't seem to notice any problem.

The black child sighed, and pointed to the sign on the platform next to him - that's where Gojo Satoru was looking at now.

The place where 'Shibuya Station' was originally written in between has changed.

Now, the words marked on it are impressively - 'Kisaragi Station'.

"This is already my playground."

His tone was brisk, but it could only make everyone present feel something.

There is a deep-rooted fear over there.

……

【"Next, it's up to you, city people."】

"Yes, I know."

The moment he heard Shinna Myojin's trembling voice, Fang Shi Yangming, staring at the abnormal subway station, fully realized why nine central pillars were needed to suppress this evil god, and why he had to go all out to find one' Dazhu'caixing.

Because if this guy is not sealed and restrained in time, let alone human beings.

Curse spirits, ghosts, gods, or other existences...

Everyone don't want to live.
