The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 845 The Beginning of the War (24)

The base of the Church of Hope is an old apartment building located in the suburbs of Tokyo. It is only a few stories high and blends perfectly with the surrounding residential buildings. If you don’t know the inside story, no one would associate this place with the Church of Hope. It looks very ordinary.

"Is my child really here?" A middle-aged woman looked at the building anxiously. She used to be a believer of the Church of Hope. She believed the slander of the Church of Hope and sent her child to the Church of Hope to "develop potential", but she came to her senses halfway through and regretted it.

Unfortunately, the Hope Cult did not return the child to her, and she could not find where her child was sent by the Hope Cult. Until half a month ago, a group of victims led by Inuyama Jun found her and invited her to join in denouncing the Hope Cult.

"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes!" A thug said, "Don't worry, ma'am. Your child will be fine. We will definitely help you find him, even if we have to break in directly!"

"Then I'll leave it to you," the middle-aged woman pleaded, "Forget about the money, I just want my child back."

Then, the thugs banged on the iron gate of the yard with baseball bats and shouted, "Hey! Is anyone there? Someone come out quickly!"

"come out!"

"If you don't come out, we'll have to force our way in!"

The gangsters were shouting at the door. After a while, an old security guard in guard uniform came out. As soon as he arrived at the door, the gangsters started quarreling with him.

"Give the child back!"

"Who are you? Are you robbers? This is a private residence, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

"Ha? Are you kidding? We are robbers? What are you talking about, you old fool? You are the bad guys!"

"You all look like hooligans, don't you? Get out of here quickly, or I'll call the police!"

"Okay, call the police over and have them search your building thoroughly! This lady's child is in there, right? You kidnappers!"

"Who is the kidnapper? I'm calling the police!"

The noisy sound was also heard by the surrounding residents. Many of them came to the windows and seemed to have drawn the curtains, but they were actually observing in secret.

"What's wrong?" A man with a scar on his face came down from upstairs and asked, "What happened here?"

"Ah, Mr. Administrator, you've come at the right time. These hooligans are here to cause trouble. Why do they have to look for a child? I think they are the gangsters here to collect protection money." said the old security guard.

"Jidao." The man called the administrator sneered, picked up the intercom on his waist, and said, "Come down with a few people."

After a while, several strong men came down, holding weapons such as crowbars and batons in their hands.

"What? You want to fight?" Several thugs shouted in a timid tone, "Who's afraid of who? Come on!"

In the car not far away, Inuyama Heita stared at the man with the scar on his face and said, "That's the man! Sasaki Ryusei, this is the base where the Hope Cult trains saints, there's no mistake!"

"That's good." Zhang Chunfa looked at his brothers who were surrounded in front of him, picked up his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hello? Is this the police? I live on XX Street. There seems to be a quarrel going on downstairs. A group of men are holding weapons and seem to be ready to fight. They look like gangsters. Seriously, I have to go to work tomorrow. Please come and deal with it as soon as possible."

"We know about this. Some residents have already reported the situation. Please don't worry. Our patrol officers are on their way there." The person on the other end of the line responded. "That's good. Please come quickly. I'm afraid they will fight."

Zhang Chunfa put away his phone and whistled: "Everyone called the police really quickly. I'm afraid someone has already called the police just as the quarrel started, right?"

Sure enough, within a few minutes, a patrolman on a bicycle arrived at the scene. It seemed that he was patrolling the nearby streets.

"What happened?"

"Officer Naoki, you've arrived just in time. These hooligans who came out of nowhere are trying to break into a private residence with baseball bats in their hands."

"Huh? What did you say? We are here to help this lady find her child. You hid her child in the building! Don't make excuses!"

"Are you kidding? How could there be any children in here?"

"If there's nothing, let's go in and search it, asshole!"

"Do you have a search warrant? Are you the police?"

The patrolman was overwhelmed when he saw this scene. He immediately contacted for reinforcements. After a while, another police car came over. Two officers got out of the car. One of them said, "Don't make a noise. Everyone, put down your weapons. Come with me to the police station and explain everything clearly first."

The group of people were taken away by the police, and the streets returned to the tranquility of the late night. However, only Ryusei Sasaki was taken away from the apartment because he was the administrator. The security guard and several strong men were left here. The strong men claimed that they were residents here and just heard the quarrel and came down to see what was going on. The weapons in their hands were because they were worried that the security guard might be in danger.

The strong men said something to the old guard and then went back upstairs.

The old guard originally wanted to go back after the door was closed, but just as he was about to close the door, several dark shadows appeared in front of him, led by a strange man wearing sunglasses late at night.

"Who are you..." The old security guard was about to shout when he saw the strange man in sunglasses open his suit and reveal the holster on his waist, which scared him speechless.

In shock, his mouth was taped and his hands and feet were tied up.

After stuffing the old guard into the trunk of the car, Zhang Chunfa and a few of his brothers guarded the door of the apartment and did not go in.

"We are on the first floor," Zhang Chunfa said. "If you encounter an emergency that requires our attention, please notify us immediately."

Inuyama Heita nodded: "Okay, I understand. Let's get started without further ado, Ms. Miba."

Wei Bo nodded, and they took the guard key and borrowed the guard room on the first floor. A group of psychics locked themselves in the room. Wei Bo took out the prepared ritual props and candles and began to hold a psychic ceremony in the room.

No one knew what happened inside, but a strange atmosphere began to spread throughout the building until it filled the entire building.

Outside the gate, Zhang Chunfa looked inside the apartment building. The lights in the lobby seemed to flicker, and the dim white lights completely separated the outside world from the building, as if there was another unreal world inside.

The cold breath rushed straight to the top of his head. Zhang Chunfa knew that as long as he stepped into the building, he would enter another world. Inuyama Heita's team began to act.
