BOOM!!
Under the murky night sky, the air crackled with a sharp explosion, crimson sword energy slashing across dozens of meters, tearing the ground into pieces.
Maru Denjiro, now fully transformed into a fox demon, was truly wounded for the first time.
A deep scar, nearly severing his arm, ran across his right side.
"Hoh..."
Like a beast sensing danger, he dropped to all fours, his body low to the ground, his blood-red eyes fixed on Tsukahara Yosuke, the wound on his body rapidly healing.
"Heh, just a beast that got a bit of Tamamo-no-Mae's power."
Tsukahara Yosuke chuckled nonchalantly, strolling towards the fox demon like he was taking a leisurely walk.
Behind him, crimson blood mist rose, shrouding half the sky.
Within the mist, a young man with crimson hair sat on a throne, holding a giant wine gourd, tilting his head back to drink.
"This is way too exaggerated!!"
Black Feather Kaito, who had appeared to help the police officers, watched this bizarre scene, his face stiff.
He was certain this wasn't some magic trick, this was a real ghost.
And...
He carefully examined the crimson-haired young man with a wild aura in the red mist, and the giant wine gourd in his hand.
Kaito remembered a widely circulated ghost legend.
The great demon who led the Hundred Ghost Night Parade during the Heian period, the King of the Hundred Demons, Shuten-dōji!!
"Are those legends real?"
Kaito felt heavy-hearted, realizing the world was a little unfamiliar to him for the first time.
While he was thinking...
whether he should humble himself and ask Koizumi Akiko for information about this, the fox demon had already fallen into a complete disadvantage.
Countless sealing incantations surged from the demon blade, Oni-kiri, forming black chains that pierced into Maru Denjiro's body.
Not long after.
The crimson, tailed beast coat on Maru Denjiro's body gradually faded.
And a small, translucent fox demon composed of energy was pulled out of Maru Denjiro's body by the black chains, letting out a shrill roar in mid-air.
Finally, it transformed back into the red, Killing Stone.
"It's over?"
Mōri felt like he was dreaming.
He let out a sigh of relief, looking at Tsukahara Yosuke, who looked more like a demon than the demon himself, and forced a smile, saying,
"Tsukahara-kun, you..."
Before he could finish, the red mist dissipated quickly, the demon blade in Tsukahara Yosuke's hand fell loose, and he fainted immediately.
Mōri: "..."
Black Feather Kaito: "..."
Conan: "..."
...
The next morning, television news reported the incident as a gas pipe explosion.
Clearly, the authorities had intervened.
For a country, it's a piece of cake to cover up things they don't want the public to know.
And in this regard.
Japan is particularly good at it.
"Looks like the authorities are keeping the news tightly under wraps."
In the presidential suite of the Miwa Hotel, seeing that the growth rate of his Willpower had slowed down, Gu Jue raised his eyebrow, casually opening the system panel.
【Willpower: 4621】
Even with the authorities actively suppressing information, he still managed to increase it by so much overnight, which means his plan was quite successful.
He let those bestowed ones make trouble while he sat back and watched, occasionally using an alias and playing the role of a ghost...
Well, it's a win-win deal.
"It's time to consider the second bestowed one."
Thinking about Tsukahara Yosuke's excellent performance this time, Gu Jue decided to find more tools.
But before that, he still needs to draw lottery packs and upgrade his Bloodline Eye with a thousand Willpower.
This Bloodline Eye, truly worthy of being on par with the Sharingan.
It possesses both the ability to use Genjutsu and can use blood as a medium to perform various Ninjutsu, which is more useful in the early stages than the Sharingan.
This time, Gu Jue's plan could be successfully implemented, and it's largely thanks to the Bloodline Eye.
So he's going to reinforce it.
【Bloodline Eye lv2】
【Genjutsu ability greatly enhanced, able to weave real illusions, the range of using blood to perform Ninjutsu is increased, power enhanced. 】
BOOM!!
A warm current surged through his body, Gu Jue felt his mind clear, and his chakra pool expanded significantly.
"Getting stronger again."
Picking up a dinner knife, he cut the Wagyu beef that the waiter had just delivered into thin slices of equal size, Gu Jue nodded in satisfaction, deciding to keep a thousand Willpower and use the rest.
"System, sixteen draws."
DING!
As he spoke, a white light flashed, and sixteen ordinary lottery packs opened.
【Kunai】
【Explosive Tag】
【Ten taels of silver】
...
【Super Strength】
【Tsunade's Necklace】
【Make Out Paradise】
"This thing is in here too?"
Seeing that the last item was Make Out Paradise, Gu Jue twitched his eye and decided to keep the remaining Willpower for now. He was going out for a while, to take care of the psychology clinic.
