I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"Where am I?"

Walking in the gray fog, a young man scratched his hair.

Thinking back carefully, I vaguely remember: The evil spirits were raging in my hometown, so I took the initiative to stand outside the crowd of refugees, and then:

Probably, maybe, should be dead.

"Isn't this the underworld?"

Wearing a tattered firefighting suit, the young man swept around the fog and then looked at the ground with only stones under his feet. So desolate, there is only the underworld.

"wrong!"

Just when the young man was confused,

A delicate voice sounded from the front.

"This is the 'Yellow Springs Hirazaka' under the governance of my underworld."

Yomi and Yomi-Hirazan sound similar, but they are actually not the same place: Yomi is the kingdom of the dead, and Yomi-hirazaka is the entrance to Yomi.

"Did you just say...underworld?"

The young firefighter's eyes fell on the little girl walking out of the fog.

Wearing a white hunting coat with wide robes and long sleeves, she looked like an ancient person; but judging from her bouncing steps and smart eyes, she was completely a 'modern person'.

"Little sister, are you from the underworld?"

"What little sister? She is a real 'white boy'."

The little girl, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, put her hands on her hips and held her head high pretending to be mature.

"Then, Lord Baitongzi, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, seeing that you have met the 'standard', you can come and serve in our underworld."

? ?

Faced with the little girl’s expression of ‘Follow me’, the young firefighter couldn’t help but scratch his hair again.

"What is my job?"

"It's very simple. Catch those evil spirits who escaped into the world!"

After some interaction of 'coaxing the child', the young man finally understood.

To put it simply, this is the "Yōsen Hirazan", where the underworld established a city called "Fengdu": on the one hand, it cleans out the evil spirits in the Hirazan of the Netherworld; on the other hand, it captures the evil spirits that have escaped and stayed in the world.

"Don't worry, I've seen it."

"Big brother, your talent is more than enough to be a 'ghost'."

The little girl who was coaxed happily by the young firefighter revealed everything she knew like beans.

In fact, she didn't 'die' for long, she just lived here for a week: according to her, the city they were about to go to was the pure land opened by Master Gui Jibai, which housed many 'spirits' and reality. The world is no different.

"Not right either,"

The little girl codenamed "Bai Tongzi" thought for a while.

"The architectural appearance and clothing are all in the 'ancient' style, just like this one on me."

As she walked, the little girl raised her arms and showed off her white hunting clothes.

"But the big brothers' 'ghost' uniforms are very handsome."

I haven’t agreed to be a ‘ghost’ yet.

While complaining in his heart, the young firefighter was ready to take a look at the city called 'Fengdu' and its people in power before making a decision.

Although the little girl who 'recruited' herself looked innocent, the person who sent her was wrong. The existence of 'underworld' may not necessarily represent justice.

"It's just ahead,"

As the little girl's words fell, the two people walked again for a few minutes. In the fog ahead, a golden head of light was revealed.

Suddenly seeing this light in the gray Hiraozaka, the young man was refreshed.

Take a few steps quickly, the light becomes brighter and brighter, and finally turns into:

“What a big tree”

As the fog disappeared, the young man raised his head and murmured to himself.

Ahead, a towering tree stands in this dim world!

The trunk of the tree stretches straight upward, and the leaves spread out like a canopy, emitting a golden light. This light shines on the young firefighter, making him feel warm.

Under the big trees, there is a city with ancient charm: pavilions, eaves and brackets, red bricks, black tiles and white walls.

It's exactly what this 'white boy' said.

"Fengdu?"

"Yes, let's go, big brother."

Led by the little girl in white, the two of them walked towards this medium-sized city located in 'Yosen Hirazaka'.

The closer he got, the more the young firefighter felt the majesty of the tree, as if it supported the sky and grounded the earth; at the same time, the warmth in his body became more active, and even his originally illusory feet became clear.

When he stepped into the city, he saw the pedestrians coming and going, and he came to the festive Kyoto in a trance.

The demeanor and tone of conversation of passers-by are all very realistic.

Even the antique style decoration is full of modern decorations.

"Xiaojiu, have you found another qualified person?"

Outside a blacksmith shop on the street, an old man dressed in shorts and wearing a 'Fire Man Mask' around his waist waved his hand, looking full of energy.

"Hello, Grandpa Tsukamate,"

The little girl in white first bowed seriously to the other party, and then emphasized:

"Xiaojiu is working, please call me 'White Boy'."

"Okay, okay, Xiaojiu~~"

The angry little girl led the young firefighter through the city and came to the building in the center: under the giant golden tree.

"After meeting Master Gui Jibai, don't move around or speak randomly."

At the little girl's instruction, the two walked through the corridor and came to:

"Hoshino, clean up the evil spirits in this area."

When the two entered the main hall, they saw a charming man sitting behind the desk, wearing white clothes and a white hat, with white hair as white as snow, pushing a scroll forward on the table.

The woman who took the scroll, wearing a black women's suit with a knife at her waist, nodded.

"Please don't worry, sir."

"Master Bai, Captain Hoshino."

The girl who called herself "White Boy" but was actually called "Xiaojiu" stepped forward and bowed in a formal manner.

"I have found another 'qualified person', please take a look."

"oh?"

‘Gui Jibai’’s gaze fell on the young man.

He's a pretty good guy. Cough, off the assembly line.

If you want to transform the "Yomi-Hirazan" into your own space, these soul reverberations that have been deposited for thousands of years must be cleaned up.

Just rely on "Gui Jibai" himself, not to mention the efficiency: How can there be a big shot who cleans the room himself?

Therefore, recruitment gestures are a must: Even if it is recruitment, there is no need to do it personally.

"Well done, Baitongzi."

"This is what I should do."

The little girl bowed seriously again,

If Master Gui Jibai hadn't brought her here, she would still be playing hide-and-seek with countless evil spirits in the wilderness: it's normal to go crazy anytime.

Moreover, Lord "Ghost Shibai" also gave her the ability to "perceive spiritual power".

In this way, she can find the 'qualified person' in the wilderness.

It can also avoid those annoying evil spirits.

There are already dozens of "white boys" like her, all scattered into the "wilderness" of Hirazaka, searching for "qualified ones".

The so-called qualified ones are souls whose soul strength reaches a certain standard.

"Hoshino, he will be under your command."

He casually pointed at the young firefighter, and Gui made Bai make a decision.

"Yes, sir."

After standing at attention and bowing and nodding, Hoshino Tanimura turned around and waved to the young firefighter.

"Follow me."

? ?

Hey hey hey, I haven’t said a word yet

In the end, the young firefighter followed the woman in a black suit, who looked to be a high school student, and left the hall.

"Get him a uniform."

He led the young firefighter out of the Judgment Hall and came to a shop with a large amount of fabric hanging on it.

"Okay, Hoshino-sama."

As Hoshino took out two 'notes', a woman in traditional clothes in the store immediately stepped forward and measured the young firefighter's body with her hand as a ruler. Then:

snap

Put your hands together,

When he opened his hands again, a small 'black suit' lay in his hands.

"Here, let's try to see if it fits."

? ? ?

"this"

Young firefighters have a thousand things to say, but they don’t know where to start.

“Take this outfit and mentally imagine wearing it.”

Hoshino explained that despite her appearance, she looked like a sweet high school girl, but with a black women's suit, a long knife at her waist, and an inexplicable aura, the young firefighter instinctively did not dare to refute.

This is the underworld. He doesn't want to try what will happen if he 'dies again'.

Holding the toy-like ‘clothes’ in his hands, the young man imagined himself putting on the clothes

Bang,

There was a soft sound and smoke rose.

After the smoke dissipated, the young man who had changed into a crisp black suit couldn't help but touch himself in surprise.

"this"

"It's an exercise in spiritual power,"

Once again beckoning the young man to follow, Tanimura Hoshino stepped out.

"And weapons."

?

"Tsukade-san,"

Not long after, the two came to the previous blacksmith shop.

"Give him a knife."

"Okay,"

The old man with a 'Fire Man' mask hanging around his waist and dressed in a short craftsman's outfit returned to the blacksmith shop and soon came out with a sheathed samurai sword.

"Give."

"Even though it's just an 'ordinary' knife, it's definitely sharp enough to cut down evil spirits."

Regarding the weapons he forged, the old man patted his chest and assured, and at the same time added:

"Young man, after you are promoted to squad leader, come back here and I will tailor-make a better weapon for you."

"Ah, okay"

He took the katana with a blank look on his face,

Before the young man could recover from the series of incidents, the girl in a suit who looked like a high school student waved her hand again.

"Follow me and go out into the city to hunt evil spirits."

No.

"Brother, come on!"

On the other side of the street, the 'White Boy' Kojito who was walking by also waved and cheered from a distance.

That's not right,

I didn't agree to join this at all.

"What's wrong?"

Hoshino turned around and glanced at this 'new team member'.

"You're not afraid of fighting, are you?"

"If you don't fight, you must have a skill: our underworld does not support idlers."

".terribly sorry."

The young man who was once a firefighter didn't know what to say, so he simply apologized first.

As for what’s next.

Holding the katana in his hand,

Does this make him a ‘ghost’ from the underworld?

Forget it, he was killed by evil spirits; if he was hunting evil spirits, it wouldn't be impossible.

This is Hiraizaka, and the evil spirits that wreak havoc on the world escape from here; then your fight will have meaning!

"Target leaves home,"

"Judging from the route, we are heading to school."

The chief's office of the small town police department has completely turned into a 'combat command room'.

Several clerks from the 'Extraordinary Countermeasures Section' work here, monitoring every move of 'Higashimi Itsuki'.

As for Fuji Seiko, he has already returned to Tokyo.

This is just one of the 'cases' she is responsible for, although there are constantly extraordinary special police officers who are able to contain the 'radiation curse' and leave the nuclear reactor to work. However, the staff is still extremely nervous, so she has to rush to a new scene every day, either to disperse the evil spirits causing trouble, or to bring back the personnel who have awakened the "Guardian Spirit"

On the battlefield where top experts and great monsters fight, Teng Shengzi is certainly a 'miscellaneous soldier'.

But that's just because the enemy is too strong. After all, she was once a "strong dog" transcendent, and she could easily tear apart evil spirits with her hands.

Now he has mastered the 'Uranium Light Wave Fist'. With accumulated experience, he has crossed two stages in one fell swoop and reached the 'Wolf Level': if faced with enemies with biological attributes, he will be able to exert his strength at the level of a powerful wolf!

It can already be regarded as a veritable ‘elite’.

"Murakami Police Department, what do you think?"

The experts asked the young man behind him,

"Continue to observe and don't alert others."

Suddenly becoming the 'boss' of a group of adults, Naoto Murakami felt uncomfortable all over; if it weren't for his 'brother' comforting him in his ears, he would feel tortured even staying here.

He is actually quite curious about the target 'Higashi Mi': because it seems that the other party is similar to him, and they all get along with one person and one spirit body.

The two differences were that he and his brother had known each other for a long time, but Higashi Takami and Itsuki obviously didn't know each other before.

Also: the opponent can become stronger by killing evil spirits!

Under the secret observation of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Section, as she continued to kill other evil spirits, the strength, speed, reaction, etc. of 'Higashimi Itsuki' were constantly improving.

This kind of improvement is not the kind of improvement that humans can achieve in a few tenths of a second, but a substantial increase in strength that is visible to the naked eye.

If the opponent is allowed to continue killing like this, it is not impossible to break through to the 'wolf level'!

Now that he has joined the job, Naoto Murakami has also begun to think:

How can I and my brother become stronger?

————

Tokyo,

Metropolitan Police Department.

"Holy Son, are you back?"

Looking up from the pile of papers,

Director Zhuya put down the materials in his hands and took a rare moment to 'relax'.

"How's the situation?"

"Not optimistic."

The mature policewoman answered seriously,

"As those evil spirits continue to kill people and even devour their own kind, no, they are getting stronger and stronger, and even their appearance has changed."

Becoming more and more like a monster!

After being devoured and strengthened like this, Teng Shengzi doesn't know what it will become in the end.

Moreover, these 'new evil spirits' all have high IQs. Unlike the 'Yellow Spring Crack' disaster, those evil spirits that just rush up randomly are even more difficult to deal with!

"Director, where are you?"

Hearing Seiko Fuji's rhetorical question, Director Zhuya sighed.

"Master Zhixiong convened a large number of monks to hold the 'Ten Thousand Dharma Conference'."

With Master Zhixiong’s understanding of ‘Buddhist classics’, he would definitely be rendered speechless if he did not say more than three sentences.

However, Master Zhixiong also has his own unique "Buddhism". In front of the golden fist as big as a house, all the participating monks kept silent and called themselves "high monks". They were all willing to listen to Master Zhixiong's sermons.

In short, it’s just a matter of joy and admiration.

"Master Zhixiong passed down the Buddhist practice techniques, but there is a drawback."

Having said this, Director Zhuya couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples.

The 'cultivation method' passed down by Master Zhixiong can indeed train 'spiritual power', but it takes three years to get started and ten years to ascend. For the current island country, it is simply that the water far away cannot understand the fire close, leaving many The eminent monk was greatly disappointed.

I can’t blame them for being eager for quick success, it’s really

Extraordinary disasters occur frequently in the island country, so seize the day!

"In addition to the basic practice methods, Master Zhixiong also passed down the 'Fudo Mingwang Formation'. When chanting the sutra, golden flowers fall from the sky, golden lotuses emerge from the ground, and the evil spirits retreat."

The problem is still the same: it requires spiritual power!

For this reason, eminent Buddhist monks have come to the door many times to ask the government to mix some extraordinary medicine.

If they don't agree again, they will sit down together in front of the Metropolitan Police Department!

But who doesn’t want extraordinary potions?

Self-Defense Forces, Extraordinary Countermeasures Division, large chaebols, samurai families, foreign mercenaries, and other countries with cooperative relationships.

With so many forces eagerly waiting for the potion, even if they produce it at full capacity, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

Give some evenly to Buddhism

What a headache!

"By the way, regarding the intelligence about 'Yiyue', we have already locked in the most likely target."

Director Zhuya took out a book of information and handed it to Fuji Seiko.

?

Scan the profile of the blonde high school girl,

It's nothing more than dramas about friends betraying each other when facing evil spirits, and repaying favor with revenge.

Maybe for the person involved, it was an unforgettable obsession; but for the Metropolitan Police, it was already numb.

"Do you want to give this information to the target?"

"No, never!"

After rejecting Teng Shengzi's words, Director Zhuya was upright and awe-inspiring.

"These are troubled times, and all citizens of island countries should contribute to the island country and mankind."

"Since Yiyue is just hunting evil spirits, let's establish a cooperative relationship with him."

Give the information to the other party?

How is that possible!

You can tell with your toes that if the evil spirit knew everything about your ‘previous life’, it would naturally take revenge.

Then the wish is fulfilled, the obsession is gone, and you become a Buddha and ascend to heaven.

Dreaming!

What kind of Buddha? !

The world is in such a mess,

Even if it is an evil spirit, I have to use it.

Director Zhu Ya, who works overtime until late at night and only sleeps for 4 hours, said that no one is allowed to lie down!
