Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 364 134: Anger

"Here are the two steel pipes you asked for, cut into 30 cm pieces, two boxes of expansion screws, and a toolbox assembly."

At the hardware store, Tatsuya Kawakami bought a bunch of tools, but the only ones he really needed were the two seamless steel pipes.

In addition, he also got some iron sand to use as shotgun shells.

His ability is quite strange. He can instantly generate an explosive energy somewhere in his body.

If he made a hand gesture like flicking a marble, and then started the movement at the moment the marble was flicked out, he could easily embed the marble into the cement wall without damaging the marble at all. It should be related to the energy he applied, which had the effect of making the material hard.

The marbles fired in this mode will basically not have much error within five meters.

After further exploration, he found that the steel pipe can play a directional role. Even without rifling, it can expand its accurate range to dozens of meters, which is equivalent to a portable mobile firearm.

In addition, that energy can also be applied to his feet, allowing him to jump briefly into the air, and when he lands, he will be protected by that energy and avoid falling to his death.

If this range is spread to the whole body, the physical quality and hardness attributes can be temporarily improved, and there is no need to reincarnate into another world even if you are hit by a truck.

It's not that you can't fight in close combat, it's just that you can only use your bare hands, which makes it easy for your marks to be left on them.

He didn't know which tier his strength belonged to among the extraordinary people, but thinking about what the mysterious man said that day, he should only be considered in the middle.

The truly top-notch extraordinary people are far beyond his ability to deal with.

"Anger Hall"

Carrying two steel pipes, he walked to the location of the Shinshin-do. It looked like a converted one-family house. Except for the lack of a torii gate, it looked a bit like a shrine.

There is also a plaque on the top with the words "anger" written on it.

Although I haven't looked up the meaning of this word, it looks very much like a Buddhist term.

It is now close to lunch time and you can see some people walking towards the Anger Hall with water bottles with the word "anger" written on them.

“Here’s your meal ticket for today.”

"Thank you, thank you Miss Kihara."

"Ms. Kihara, I am sorry to bother you again today."

“May you discover more beauty in the world today.”

At the door, someone was collecting bottles and handing meal tickets to people one by one.

"Sir, if you are interested, you can come in and take a look. We are open to everyone." At the door, the woman named Kihara saw Kawakami, who was clearly looking curious, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Okay." Kawakami pretended to be sad, nodded, and walked into the Chenxin Hall.

The interior structure is very simple, similar to the main space of a church, but the seats have all been changed to look like dining tables. In the innermost part, there is a statue whose face cannot be seen clearly. On the left side, it says "a thought of anger arises", and on the right side, it says "a million doors of obstacles open".

So the so-called anger refers to emotions like anger?
He did a brief search and found that it was indeed the same as he had thought. It was caused by anger, one of the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance.

It generally refers to any state of feeling uncomfortable, mainly anger and rage.

Looking at the people eating around, they all had pious expressions on their faces and the food they ate was quite good. It was obvious that this church was indeed willing to invest money.

Kawakami sat down in one of the seats. Before he could say anything, the person next to him saw him and took the initiative to say, "Friend, are you not full? If you don't mind, I can give you half."

".No, I am a tourist from out of town. I heard about the good deeds of Chenxin Hall, so I came to take a look."

"Then you have come to the right place. Although there are many places worth visiting in Fukushima, I believe that Chishin-do will definitely bring you an unprecedented spiritual baptism." He showed a bright smile, and his words were filled with genuine pride and excitement.

Kawakami lowered his eyes, sighed slightly, and forced a smile: "Maybe, you know a lot about Chenxintang?"

“I dare not say that I understand, but the brothers of Chenxin Hall, especially the leader, are the brightest and warmest light I have ever seen in my life.” He suddenly showed a guilty look, “At the beginning, I didn’t trust the leader and even spit at him. I thought he was a complete liar, but the leader forgave me and didn’t even wipe the saliva, letting it dry in the air. He showed us a miracle. I believe that in his…”

He suddenly stopped talking and said something else: "My friend, if you want to join the church, you only need to go to Miss Kihara. She is a very gentle lady."

Miracles? In today's society, who doesn't know about the supernatural? Many people believe that the various churches are actually well aware of the truth, but they just hope that the leader of that church is a capable supernatural being who can help solve their predicament.

The majority are patients, who pray that the extraordinary people they meet have the ability to cure their illnesses, even if there is a price to pay.

There are also many who want to become the extraordinary's confidant, obtain wealth and glory, and preferably become an extraordinary themselves.

There are very few people who can be completely trusted like this person in front of me, just like
Kawakami's eyes narrowed and he thought of his mother.

Although my sister and Ye said that the reason why my mother converted to religion was because she believed the lie that the other party could cure her leg, it means that the extraordinary people in the Duxin Religion either have similar abilities or just use treatment as the main means of propaganda.

But later on, the mother donated all her property to the church and almost ignored her sister. This was completely putting the cart before the horse. She was like a pure fanatic and was not doing it for her sister.

Or maybe he did it for his sister at first, but lost his mind later? Just like the man in front of him.

"I have encountered many scammers, and I am afraid that this so-called Senshin-do is the same." Kawakami shook his head with a vicissitudes of life expression.

"Well, I understand your hesitation. Just like me before, you would not believe in yourself now." He felt the same way. "But the Heart of Blame Hall does not take any money from us. All the resources are collected by the leader from those big families. You don't have to worry about suffering financial losses because of this."

This is somewhat different, and is clearly different from the Duxin Sect's emphasis on money as life.

But it also seems to be a big plan.

He vaguely felt that there must be a connection between the two, and the so-called leader might be the same person, but what caused the leader to suddenly change his nature?

"I will, thank you."

"You're welcome. I hope to be friends with you, too."

He didn't even introduce himself by name, and his smile was genuine.

Kawakami didn't feel any warmth, but his heart kept sinking.

He stood up in a trance and looked around. There were people with happy smiles everywhere. He looked out of place with his sad face, as if he had strayed into a paradise. Combined with the statue in front of him, the whole thing had a sacred, depressing, and slightly evil meaning.

"Sir, are you feeling unwell? Do you need our help?" Kihara came to Kawakami at some point and looked at his ugly face with some concern.

As she spoke, everyone in the hall stopped eating, turned around, stopped talking, and stared at Kawakami quietly.

Just staring in silence, maintaining a smile on his face, without saying a word.

"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Just let me relax alone." Kawakami tried his best not to look at those people's faces.

"In that case, please come with me. There are seats outside and it should be better to bask in the sun." Kihara enthusiastically took Kawakami's hand, led him to the seat at the door, and pressed his shoulders to let him sit down.

There was nothing wrong with Kawakami in the first place, and his pale complexion was just a disguise when he came.

"Do you need some water?" Kihara took out a bottle of water from a box of water next to him and handed it to Kawakami with a smile.

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty." Kawakami shook his head.

"Then take it and drink it when you are thirsty." Mu Yuan stuffed the water into his hand.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Kawakami paused for a moment, looking at the water: "Okay, thank you."

He suspected that there was something wrong with the water in the Anger Hall, but he also felt that it was impossible. It was normal for Chaofan to not be able to handle such a large amount of water.

Unless, only certain batches are problematic.

For example, the bottle in his hand.

"Ms. Kihara, can you tell me about the Senshindo? I don't really want to believe in any religion, I just want to know, is there any hope for a person with broken legs to recover?"

Mu Yuan shook his head: "The leader is just God's agent, and there are limits to what he can do. However, the more people believe in him, the more powerful his god will be. Perhaps in the future he will be able to do what you said and help people with disabled legs stand up again. I believe this is also the leader's simple wish for the world."

Bad check.

Kawakami showed a bewildered look at the right moment and sighed: "I expected too much."

"Who knows, maybe there will be some guidance from fate."

Kawakami stood up and said, "Thank you, Ms. Kihara. I think I'm almost recovered."

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you. If you have anything you want to talk about, the Senshin Hall is always open to you." Kihara smiled and sent Kawakami away.

Kawakami took a taxi and picked up the same bottle of water in the car and looked at it.

"Driver, I haven't seen this kind of water in Osaka. Is it delicious?" Kawakami asked casually.

"Delicious? Haha, actually I feel all bottled water tastes about the same, but it's free, so it'd be a shame not to take it." The driver laughed.

"Is that so? I think the people in the Anger Hall are all pretty nice. Could it be that the leader is an extraordinary person?"

"I don't know if they are extraordinary or not, but the people in the Anger Hall are indeed very polite, as if they never get angry. Last time I saw someone beating and scolding a homeless person from the Anger Hall, but he just smiled and took the beating from beginning to end, without any resistance. Even when other people from the Anger Hall came, they didn't help to separate them. They just stood aside and smiled and advised the person who beat him not to be poisoned by anger anymore. Someone even gave the person water, saying that water can detoxify him."

"Anyway, I don't understand it, but even though it's weird, I haven't seen any traces of supernatural powers."

".Ah, there was an urban legend last year related to the Chanxin Hall. My daughter told me about it. Only young people pay special attention to these things."

The driver seemed to remember something and patted the back of his bald head.

"Can you tell me more about it?" Kawakami asked.

"Do you know the story of the Dream Girl or the Dream Boy? In fact, in my opinion, this urban legend is an adaptation of the Dream Boy and the Dream Girl of our era. It turns out that fashion is a circle and the essence does not change much." The driver did not refuse, opened the conversation and started talking nonstop.

There aren't many taxi drivers in Japan as talkative as him.

After all, passengers don't want to talk and drivers are too lazy to waste their breath.

".It seems that there is a legend that many people had the same dream and saw so-called miracles in the dream. In short, there are many different opinions, and no one can remember the details of the dream clearly, but they all mentioned that it might be related to the Chanxin Hall."

"But this kind of urban legend is only circulated in a small circle, especially among middle school and high school students who don't have to work. It's fine for them to just listen to it. I've been running around the city, but I haven't heard this story from anyone else. It's probably unreliable and made up."

It's not surprising that the driver has such thoughts. After Chaofan was born, all kinds of messy rumors have never stopped. After all these years, people have become more or less "resistant".

"I've heard a lot of stories like this in Osaka, but there aren't any particularly famous ones recently," Kawakami echoed.

"Right. People nowadays have seen everything. Even if it's true, there's also the Special Affairs Bureau. Uh, that's not right. We rarely see extraordinary people from the Special Affairs Bureau here. But that's good. It means that we haven't had many extraordinary events here. The most recent one was a year ago. The biggest one was the fight between Ito Makoto and the Special Affairs Bureau at the nuclear power plant. That night I happened to be driving a long distance in Miyagi Prefecture, and inexplicably a whole road was washed away. My guests and I were scared to death, and we were almost taken away by the water."

Kawakami entered human-machine mode, occasionally responding with "Really?" or "That's amazing," but in his heart he was thinking about the urban legend he just mentioned.

Maybe someone is helping to suppress the heat and prevent what’s happening here from attracting too much attention from the Special Affairs Bureau?

The Special Affairs Bureau's hands are not very long, and the reason is very simple. In the past, most of the extraordinary events occurred in Tokyo, and only one or two occurred occasionally in other places. It is difficult to configure a special extraordinary team for these one or two events, which will only make the already scarce manpower even more tense.

So basically, they are special police forces that have been trained in countermeasures. They will only conduct detailed investigations on so-called extraordinary events that have caused a certain social impact. If they are true, they will be reported to the Special Affairs Bureau, but the results are that most of them are rumors.

We arrived at our destination during the conversation. It was the local tourist attraction, Lake Inawashiro.

Since we are in Fukushima, take some photos of the tourist attractions and bring them back to Kazuha. She will like them.

By the way, he also wanted to find someone to do some experiments.

This is just a nice place.

Tatsuya Kawakami looked at the two bottles of water he was carrying. One was given to him by Kihara Shinshindo, and the other was taken from the taxi.

He wanted to know if the water was the problem.
