“Do you understand the situation behind this?”

“It’s not enough, but I’ve tried my best to understand it.”

Unlike a moment ago, the man’s voice answering the leader’s question wavered slightly.

But there was nothing I could do.

It was equally impossible for them to fully understand the physiology of the back, which was filled with all sorts of lunatics.

But even if that’s the case, we can still prepare to some extent.

“Thanks to the foresight of the cult leader who chose the isolated island nation of Japan, we were able to prevent the appearance of thugs who wanted to run wild on our stage for the pleasure of killing.”

“Even so, wouldn’t there have been those who tried to indirectly interfere with this sacred stage we created?”

“That’s… … ”

The man spoke with a slightly trembling voice, expressing his complicated feelings.

“Arachne, Golden Rule, and Necronomicon. All three organizations seem to be watching the situation from afar, with no intention of taking action.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, yes! They must have been moved by what the leader had made… … !”

The man in the priest’s attire excitedly poured out words of praise for the cult leader, but he let those words go in one ear and out the other.

That would be the case, because he knew very well about the existence of Mine and his own position.

‘Are all these guys who can be called lumps of desires all joined forces and are just watching the situation we’ve created? Guys who are closer to beasts than humans in that their instincts are stronger than their reason?’

Even compared to the three organizations mentioned above, they were clearly weaker in every way.

In a world ruled by the law of the jungle, this is clearly the position of the prey.

However, if this situation had occurred, there would only be one possibility… …

Kkadak-

‘Those guys moved?’

In the eyes of the cult leader who had finally grasped the situation, a fierce flame of anger and jealousy burned, which was inconsistent with his previously benevolent appearance.

“You guys are so arrogant, you think you’re going to claim that you’re the orthodoxy and we’re heretics? Oh, right. You’re an example. You don’t even think we’ll succeed.”

“Huh? What is that… … ”

The man raised his head in bewilderment at the rough muttering that was different from what he was used to hearing.

“Hoo, it’s nothing.”

But by then, the fire on the man’s face had already died down, or rather, was hidden.

“But the plan is not over yet, so please go out again and do your best in your assigned role.”

“Okay, I understand.”

At the gentle greeting, the man quickly got up from his seat, greeted them, and quickly went out.

And as he was catching his breath in the hallway, wondering if he had made a mistake, he saw one of his subordinates running towards him from afar with an anxious expression on his face.

He looked at him and asked with a worried voice.

“What’s going on? Is there a problem with the plan?”

“That, that… …a strange movement, no, a sense of discomfort, was observed in the eastern part of Kyoto.”

“Discomfort?”

The man tilted his head at his subordinate’s slightly strange expression.

However, when the man saw the device his subordinate had handed him, he realized why he had chosen such words.

“What? Why is this town so quiet?”

As the man spoke, the first thing that came to mind was the possibility of a powerful superhuman they had yet to find, but he soon shook his head and denied the thought.

Someone skilled enough to deal with all the Oni in the entire city so quickly and without a sound?

If that’s the case, then it means that a superhuman of S-class level has appeared, so there’s no way they would have missed out on someone with that level of skill.

‘But other than that, there is no other way to explain this situation… … ‘

As the man’s brow began to furrow, his subordinate added urgently.

“The Oni were not dealt with or disappeared. After investigation, it was confirmed that all the Oni scattered throughout the village gathered in one place.”

“What? Oni are gathering? Where is that?”

“This is it.”

The subordinate pointed to a spot that appeared to be painted black with his finger.

“Here?”

The man looked puzzled when he saw the description of a baseball stadium.

‘What is happening here that has brought all these people here?’

I felt impatient.

Of course, considering their grand plans, this was just a minor anomaly.

However, even if it was small, the fact that such a distortion had occurred made the man feel uncomfortable.

“Have you figured out the situation inside the dome?”

“Sorry, I tried to figure it out through hacking, but failed.”

“Tsk! I don’t know what they did, but it looks like they’ve blocked observation from the outside. Is there no way to find out what’s going on inside the stadium?”

“Other church members are trying, but it seems like it will be difficult right now.”

When the man frowned, his subordinate spoke urgently.

“But fortunately, before the disconnection, I was able to obtain a video from the stadium’s system server showing the people who appeared to be the instigators of this incident. The quality is a bit blurry, but if I were to use it… … ”

“Send it.”

After saying this, the man went into his room and sat down in a chair specially made to assist his abilities.

While sitting there, he observed the actions of the corpse dolls wandering around Kyoto one by one.

Tiring-

His device vibrated slightly.

“What kind of guys are these… … ”

The man, who had been muttering in an irritated voice, stopped talking when he saw the people in the blurry image captured on the device.

Among the three who appear to be the culprits of this situation, one person in particular stands out.

“Fox mask?”

◎ ◎ ◎

Kuung-!

“Next.”

Oni, who came down with a confident look, saying that he would be different, falls to the floor, and Do Yu-jin snaps her fingers and calls the next challenger.

Looking at that sight, Rumi quietly poured her glass.

A scene that has been repeated several times already.

Thanks to that, even Rumi, who had no idea what was going on, now had a rough idea of what a ghost ritual was.

‘This is an incredibly simple and ignorant fight.’

First, one representative from each organization enters the ring in the middle.

And then the two representatives who gathered like that each exchanged a full-out attack on each other.

There was no option for evasion or defense with weapons.

There is only one reason.

“Wowwoww!!!”

“Kaaa …

Because I have to arouse the interest of the viewers.

‘In other words, simply put, the Gui Ling Festival is a betting game created to make drinking alcohol taste better with blood and flesh as side dishes.’

The true face of the Gwireungje Festival was that of the Oni, who loved drinking, fighting, blood, and killing more than anything else.

And in the midst of such a festival of ghosts.

“Hoooo… … ”

Do Yu-jin was receiving cheers, shock, and fear all at once as she won consecutive matches.

“Khahahaha! I’m next!”

Woof-! Woof-! Woof-!

At the appearance of a new challenger, all the oni present cheered and pounded the ground with their bats.

Quietly enduring the waves of sound, Do Yu-jin rolled her eyes silently.

This guy and that guy, they all have red, bulging eyes and show off their red, bulging blood vessels.

‘Everyone seems really excited.’

The nickname of Berserker, who loves blood and fighting, truly suits him.

Looking at him, Do Yu-jin let out a faint sigh.

‘Somehow I managed to raise the mood enough to keep those guys out of the stadium… … but maybe I was a little too much? Honestly, I’m starting to feel dizzy.’

The Guilyeongje system was fundamentally designed to be disadvantageous to the challenger.

Without going too far, the challenger had to start the match by getting hit at least once.

‘It’s best to avoid this kind of ignorant, head-on fight, but… … ‘

Glance-

‘This time, there is no other way, so I can’t help it.’

Do Yu-jin rolled her eyes slightly as she drank the liquor flowing down her forehead and mouth, recovering her tired body with [Large Capacity Steel Stomach (2★)].

“Poohahahaha! This is fun! It’s a lively entertainment fit for a departure ceremony!”

Then, Shuten-Doji, who had just awakened from his seal and was in a state of no energy at all, was seen giggling in excitement as a great monster that could easily trample on our power.

Are you going to confront this crazy guy leading that kind of group head-on?

‘No matter how much I’ve gotten stronger lately, that’s absolutely impossible.’

It was a million times better to fight an unfavorable fight like this than to do something crazy like that.

Well, there was no problem.

Phew-

It’s a little annoying, bothersome, and even difficult, but that’s about it.

dump-

It wasn’t enough to interfere with the plan that was still progressing smoothly.
