Chapter 212 Ibaraki and Shuten
The night passed by quickly like a flash, and Ling Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that came into his sight was Zhongyan and Suo, who were tightly wrapped around him like an octopus. He couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.
He got out of bed quietly, walked to the French window, stretched his body, took a deep breath of fresh air, and stared at the scenery outside the window. I don't know if it was because he had an illusion, but I only saw a gray sky outside the window, filled with morning fog. Those who got up early and rushed to work were in a hurry, but the gray fog lingered.
Ling Yuan held his breath and concentrated, trying his best to release his perception. He was surprised to find that there was a trace of mysterious power in the thick fog - divine power! He squinted his eyes slightly and could clearly feel that in just one night, the divine power in the entire Japanese region had increased significantly, as if an extremely powerful existence had descended into the world.
When he first came here yesterday, Ling Yuan, with his extraordinary keen insight, noticed that the power of the gods around this area was unusually dense. At first, he guessed that this abnormal phenomenon might be caused by the awakening of a certain god, but after a day and a night of observation and thinking, he realized that things might be far from that simple - all signs indicate that the entire Takamagahara seems to be showing its traces here.
After washing up, Ling Yuan left the bedroom carefully. The presidential suite provided by this hotel was designed very considerately. It not only had a spacious and comfortable bedroom, but also a separate living room. In this way, there was no need to worry about disturbing other people who were resting.
The moment he stepped into the living room, Ling Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes were fixed on the man sitting on the sofa. The man had an extremely handsome and feminine face, with long black hair falling on his shoulders like a waterfall. He looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a purple-black short-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body, and dark blue jeans and black leather shoes on his lower body.
The most eye-catching thing was the densely packed tattoos on the man's right arm and his blood-red eyes, which were now staring at Ling Yuan calmly; and there was a pair of long black horns growing on both sides of his head, one of which was only half for some reason, with a smooth and neat cross-section.
"Hello!" Seeing Ling Yuan coming out, the man stood up, bowed politely to Ling Yuan, and said hello, "I am Ibaraki, the great demon in Japan. I am sorry to come to visit you without telling you."
Seeing the other party's humble attitude, Ling Yuan's hostility was reduced a lot. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and sat down opposite Ibaraki: "Please sit down! Although I am Chinese, I still know some legends of Japan. I wonder what the great demon Ibaraki Douji wants to see me about?"
Ibaraki Douji bowed politely and sat back on the sofa. However, Ibaraki Douji did not answer Ling Yuan's question immediately, but clapped his hands gently. A pleasant female voice came from the window: "Ibaraki is just accompanying me. I'm sorry to bother Mr. Ling Yuan, but we have something urgent to ask Mr. Ling Yuan."
Ling Yuan slowly raised his head and looked towards the window. There, a graceful figure stood quietly. Her long red hair, burning like flames, fluttered gently and fell behind her like a waterfall. She tied her beautiful long hair neatly into a high ponytail, which made her look neat and energetic.
The woman wore a tight red sports vest on her upper body, which perfectly outlined her slender waist and plump curves. She wore a pair of black sports shorts that tightly wrapped her legs, showing her slender and straight white legs. She wore a pair of bright wine red sports shoes on her feet, which added a touch of bright color to her whole body.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the huge gourd behind the woman. The gourd is brown in color, and is densely engraved with mysterious and incomprehensible runes, as if it contains endless power. At the bottom of the gourd, there is a creepy bloody mouth, which makes people shudder. A red ribbon is tied to the mouth of the gourd, swaying gently in the breeze, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling.
"You are... Shuten-doji?" Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he was a little surprised at the other person's beauty.
The woman nodded gently and said quietly: "It is me. It seems that Tamamonomae is right. A great being has come to this world. We are helpless and can only ask for your help. Only you can help us."
Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little confused as to why Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji came to him. However, at least he did not feel any hostility from them, so he could have a good chat with them calmly.
"Please take a seat! I am just a human being. Two legendary demons have condescended to come to me. I guess there must be something important going on, right?"
"You are too modest..." Ibaraki Douji said with a slight smile, "In fact, we came to you because we want to ask you to work with us to solve... uh... the incident of the resurrection of the gods."
"Why?" A strange look flashed in Ling Yuan's eyes. He never expected that the reason why Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji came to him for help was actually about the revival of the gods.
"If the gods are revived, you legendary monsters should be the beneficiaries. Why do you have to deal with the gods too?"
Shuten-doji sighed softly, looking out the window with a look of melancholy in his eyes: "In fact, since the disappearance of the gods, with the development of the times, we monsters have also integrated into human society and found our home here. Living a peaceful and happy life every day is much better than the previous fighting and killing.
“Originally we were looking forward to the revival of the gods, but this time they gave me a very bad feeling. If we let them come, our peaceful life will be completely shattered!
"So, after discussing together, we decided to prevent the gods from reviving. Compared to the fighting and killing in the past, we would rather protect the peaceful life we have now, so we beg you to help us."
Listening to Shuten-doji's earnest words, Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows. This was the first good news after learning that humans had turned to the gods. If these great demons joined, they would not have to worry about the aftermath of the battle completely destroying the lives of ordinary people.
Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ibaraki Douji on the side. There was a gleam of hope in the other's eyes, and it seemed that he was expecting him to agree to their request.
