Lin Wu was the most disliked person at Chengqi Temple, even by the cats and dogs. At long last, he was old enough to go down the mountain and undergo trials, carrying out missions to enter the world, help the people, and uphold the righteous path.
His master hurriedly arranged for him to go as far away as possible.
That took him all the way to neon-lit Tokyo--
But the kid bought the wrong ticket and ended up in Yokohama!!!
Daoist Qingxu: ...Fine. As long as he's far away from the temple.
As the saying goes, for every thousand points of damage you deal to your enemy, you take eight hundred yourself. For Lin Wu, it went like this:
Save eight hundred people, pay a thousand in damages.
And by a thousand, we mean ten thousand.
Lin Wu happened upon the European gods' Shark Flag Society being slaughtered. "When you see injustice, shout out! When it's time to act, act!"
He drew his sword with crisp precision, his movements dazzling. The Flag Society was rescued, and the ruins thundered around them.
Congratulations! The Old World Bar has become a little hill!
Lin Wu: Oh, no problem! (Pats his chest) I'll fix it!
After a whole lot of banging and clattering, he finally--
Severed the central power cable.
All of Yokohama was plunged into a massive blackout!
Lin Wu (calmly) (pulls out a lightning talisman): Don't worry! I can provide power!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky. With two loud crashes, Yokohama's tallest building was split in half.
Scum Mori (with an afro, coughing black smoke): Who let him out? Get him out of here, now!!!
Elder Qingxu (picking at his ear): Sorry, the transoceanic call had a bad signal.
From then on, organizations large and small across Yokohama suffered terribly.
They cried to heaven, but heaven did not answer. They called to earth, but earth did not respond.
So they went to the world's greatest detective for help.
The world's greatest detective chewed on a coarse pastry offered by a certain Daoist. "Instead of asking a great detective, go ask that red-haired curry fanatic next to me."
Lin Wu: ? What's wrong? I'm helping everyone and doing good deeds, aren't I?
A certain curry fanatic rubbed the little dog's head. "Yes, that's right. You're doing great."
Everyone: ...Are we sure asking him will actually help?
