I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"Lust? What I'm more concerned about is why this hidden world suddenly opened, could it be..."

In Abeji's mind, the empty purple kimono with large furisodes disappeared into the back of the torii gate.

His intuition told him that that weird kimono must have something to do with the situation in front of them!

"Tsk, there is no signal..."

Putting the mobile phone that showed "no signal" back into his pocket, Abeji looked back at the Yoshihara Shrine that was burning in the flames.

Through the torii gate in front of you, behind you is still the main hall of the gray-white shrine standing quietly in the firelight.

But the decoration and shape of its details are completely different from what Abe Temple and the two were in before tonight.

And the people who should have been in the open space in front of the shrine also disappeared.

"If only the two of us were pulled into Shenyin, the key should be..."

As an experienced spirit remover, when he is inexplicably drawn into a hermitage that has nothing to do with the mission, the safest way to deal with it is naturally to try to exit immediately.

And the "entrance" that brought the two of them into this hidden place was precisely this torii gate.

"This, this is not the original torii..."

Although it is still gray and white, no matter in style or size, it is more simple and dilapidated than the torii gate of Yoshihara Shrine in the two people's impressions.

"Yoshihara Yanshang? Is it the name of this hidden place..."

The text on the torii beams has also been changed from "Yoshihara Shrine" to "Yoshihara Yanshang".

"This trace is... the unique incantation of the "Four Arrays of Lipai"! "

Stretching out his hand to touch the uneven and densely packed spell engravings on both sides of the torii gate, Abeji suddenly exclaimed.

"Looking at this engraving technique, it should be an ancient style before improvement... at least it must be traced back to the Edo period, before Yinyang Liao changed hands..."

Although he has never specialized in Onmyojutsu, as the clan of Tsuchimikado and the only one who inherits the surname "Abe", he immediately recognized the origin of these engravings...

Tsuchimikado Shinto.

"However, the "Four Formation of Lipai" invented by Tsuchimikado Shinto is good at sealing and suppressing, and it is not the most suitable formation for constructing Shenyin. Why is it used here..."

Abeji tried to recall his previous actions, walking back and forth near the torii gate, but nothing unusual happened.

"This is tricky... The hidden places built by the "Four Arrays of Li School" are arranged according to the geomantic omen of "Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind", and the entrance and exit are often not in the same place. "

Looking back at Junko Kato beside him, he smiled wryly.

"If we can find out where we are, we may be able to deduce the location of the exit through the principle of formation."

"Since we're here, we'll be safe... This long street seems to be extending towards Shenyin, why don't we walk along the street and search for the exit..."

Saying so, Kato Junko, who was wrapped in that black kimono carelessly, stepped forward with her silky and dazzling long legs and delicate feet in the firelight, and walked along the long street behind the torii gate.

"However, if the builder of this occult enchantment is a member of the Tsuchimikado Shinto, why has there never been any mention of the hidden occult in the Yoshihara Shrine?"

"Could it be that this shrine building was not built in the name of Tsuchyumon Shinto, but the Yinyang Liao that it once managed..."

"So, during the period when the Tokugawa shogunate was restored and Yinyangliao changed hands, were relevant classics lost?"

Abe Temple folded his hands in his sleeves and followed behind her, while sorting out his thoughts, while looking at the scene on both sides of the long street.

"The landscape in this hidden place is very similar to the rumored Yoshihara Yukaku..."

Without the need for blood-red lanterns to illuminate, the blazing firelight has already reflected the scene on both sides of the street as if it were daytime.

Row upon row of buildings, red lanterns under the eaves, lush vegetation in four seasons, elegant and simple gravel streets...

Whether it is this long street or these Edo wooden buildings that burn quietly in the firelight, in appearance and layout, they are very similar to Yoshihara Youko in Shiji, showing resplendent and elegant.

"Song Daihei Building", "Ano Zhang Building", "Yoshida Building", "Xiazhu Building", "Jiaohai Old Building"...

Walking along the two-lane wide main street, shops of different sizes and with different signboard names appeared in the sight of the two of them one by one.

Most of these neatly arranged buildings with similar shapes and structures have pavements on the ground floor, and unique small balconies and independent rooms on the second and third floors.

On the ground floor, except for the narrow exit on the side, most of the space is blocked by cross-cutting, blood-red hollow wooden fences.

At a glance, there seemed to be bloody birdcages standing on both sides of the long street.

"Zheng."

With a sharp knife light of frost, Abe Temple passed over the wooden building next to itself, leaving only hair-like scratches, and even the flames above it could not be weakened.

"It's so hard... The hardness of these buildings is almost catching up with the object..."

An unbearable itching and unrestrained longing came along the scorching fire, and was instantly eliminated by his sword heart, which was as quiet as a dry well, without a single ripple.

"Although this lust is weird, it's nothing to be afraid of..."

"Amitabha...these buildings must be Yoshiwara Yukaku's old house for traveling girls."

Looking at the buildings on both sides, Kato Junko suddenly sighed.

If we say that today's Yoshihara red light district is full of bubble bath shops, side-ball restaurants, tea shops, and izakaya...

The old Yoshihara Yukaku was filled with all kinds of girls' houses for people to have fun, with different names such as "Yangya", "Tea House" and "Zashiki House".

Different from high-end tourist girls who can choose and reject customers at will, low-level tourist girls can only live in Chase shops with the most difficult conditions. In the public area separated by several screens, they provide "fast food" food to the guests who choose themselves Serve.

When there is no business, the low-level prostitutes will often sit behind the fence of the shop, and the slightly higher-level ones will also appear on the balcony on the second floor, showing off their style and teasing the passing customers.

"Looking at these wandering women's houses and the distance surrounded by high walls, this place seems to be built one-to-one with reference to Yoshihara Yukaku..."

"If this is the case, then the road under our feet should run through the entire Yoshiwara Yukaku's Nakamachi Street from east to west..."

"According to the map of Yoshiwara Yukaku that I checked before, the ones that intersect with the "one horizontal" Nakamachi Dori are the "three vertical" Edo-cho, Kyoto-cho, Kakuno-cho, Yoya-cho..."

"From the location of the shrine, the first big intersection ahead should be the intersection with Kyomachi 1-chome and 2-chome..."

"Wait, listen..."

Just when Kato Junko was trying to identify the direction with the map in his memory, Abeji's ears moved slightly, as if he had discovered something.
