Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 482 Independent Investigation
Weekly Bunshun, as "the most powerful gossip magazine on the planet", worked all night to write articles, revise the format, and reprint. However, due to the limitations of paper media, it could only put the new issue with headlines on the shelves of major convenience stores and bookstores early in the morning.

Even though it’s late, the writing skills of Weekly Bunshun’s professional journalists and the depth of its gossip reports are certainly not comparable to those crudely produced print media…

This four-page feature report starts with Xia Fan's background, overlaps the two timelines of "Musician's descent to the mortal world" and "Idol Xia Fan", and presents the full picture of the "truth" to readers...

According to public information statistics, Xia Fan, a freshman in the Department of Music at Tokyo University of the Arts, has been engaged in many "part-time jobs" in the entertainment industry since this year...

As a part-time advertising actor, the video commercials he shot received a warm response, which at one point caused the "Matsumoto Kiyoshi Israel Binilai Dead Sea Black and White Mud Mask" to be sold out.

As a part-time web drama actor, he played the big devil Kazama Chikage, and with his evil and charming image that was closest to the original, he single-handedly reversed the reputation of the entire drama.

As a part-time trainee, he participated in J Company's "Idol Birth Festival" talent show. Although he was carrying two "death penalty notices" of "Dragon Countryman" and "Burning Series", he sang and danced rap and crushed the popularity in all aspects. He debuted at the top, breaking the history of the talent show in District 11.

Not to mention, recently on the variety show "The Secret of Immortals", many immortals have failed one after another, and they have several world record certificates in their hands.

Such a wonderful resume, for any newcomer in the entertainment industry, is already a legend...

The key point is that during a series of events, he actually created four high-quality hits for Bethesda in the name of "coming down to earth": "Sakura", "Red Lotus", "I Once Thought of Ending It All" and "Fireworks"...

"Words such as amazing talent, all-round artist, and the darling of the performing arts god are no longer enough to describe Xia Fan. Even the value of the Ministry of Culture's 'specially appointed artist' has been raised by him."

At the end of this special report, the author gave a very high evaluation.

This is a rare positive feature in Weekly Bunshun, a magazine that has long featured explosive scandals and gossip on its cover.

"Bullshit doesn't make sense..."

After reading the report, Fukuyama threw the weekly magazine on the table in disgust.

"Miyamoto always believed in Bunshun, who 'speaks the truth', but in the end he was just a follower of the trend, a bootlicker who flatters the big shots behind the scenes to cover up the scandal."

"Even if I give them the precious evidence that Miyamoto exchanged his life for, I'm afraid it will end in vain..."

"It seems that this time, I am really the only one left to fight alone."

"Xia Fan, just wait for me..."

He closed his laptop, put on his backpack, tilted his head back and drank the remaining half cup of coffee, then pushed open the door of KKC and disappeared into the morning light.

"Hey, even this homeless guy is a fan of Xia Fan?"

"I've heard of Nantong cosmetics before, but this is the first time I've seen them. They're so disgusting!"

"That departing figure always seemed a little lonely?"

In the restaurant, several female high school students looked at each other...

"Oh my! I finally managed to grab this weekly magazine, but now the cover is wrinkled. Poor handsome Xia Fan!"

"This is a photo of the live stage of "Fireworks" last night. As expected, she has a face that can be seen from every angle. Her eyes are more beautiful than diamonds and are as lively as a real person. I blushed when I saw her..."

"Speaking of which, it looks like the official LIVE version of that song will be released today!"

"What? Great, let's do this thirty times!"

But the next second, their attention was drawn to someone on the cover of the weekly magazine.

...Chiyoda, Tokyo Grand Shrine.

In the basement below Jinguji Aoi's residence, Xia Fan, wearing a mask and white gloves, stepped on a tall sliding escalator and moved between the "bookshelf walls".

"This book mentions the 'Seven Wonders of Our Institute'!"

"There is a similar record in this book, maybe they are related..."

He flipped through the ancient books on the shelf, taking one or two from time to time and placing them on the huge desk in the middle of the room.

"The Seven Mysteries of Tokyo is, after all, a strange story that has been circulating for many years, and there are many books that record it."

"Thanks to Mr. Xia Fan for coming to help despite his busy schedule. Otherwise, I would have no way of investigating this by myself."

In front of another row of bookshelves at the back, Aoi Jinguji was also carefully flipping through ancient books.

Because the "Amaterasu Seal" incident has a huge impact, in order to avoid information leakage, Jinguji Aoi has not even filed a case within the Ninth Division, and is currently in the stage of personal independent investigation...

Therefore, such heavy "basic investigation" work can only be done by her and Xia Fan themselves.

Since this morning, the two of them have been flipping through the books in this "Supernatural Ancient Books Library" one by one. They are investigating the "Seven Wonders of Tokyo" and want to locate the whereabouts of the seven "Amaterasu Seals".

"Since I promised you this, of course I have to help."

"Besides, after causing such a big mess yesterday, I am now a person who is hiding from the limelight. Before Uncle Higashino and J Company have a good communication, I guess I can forget about having any schedule."

"Having the opportunity to come into contact with these precious, rare ancient books is also a good opportunity to learn..."

Quickly flipping through the old books and scrolls in his hands, Xia Fan rolled his eyes guiltily.

At this moment, in addition to "Honshu's Seven Wonders", he also looked up the keyword "Ame-no-Miyashin" in the book.

Ever since becoming a divine body, Xia Fan has used all known search engines, but has been unable to find any information on the Internet that might be related to the "evil god" in his body.

Therefore, when he investigated the "Mirror Still Water Curse" last time, he set his sights on this "Supernatural Library" to see if he could find any information about the God of Amaru. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity to "use public power for personal gain."

"Sir Xia Fan, it's time to take a rest. I asked the people at the shrine to prepare some refreshments."

After being busy for an unknown amount of time, Aoi Jinguji came to the bottom of the escalator where Xia Fan was and called out softly.

In the corner of the room, a makeshift tea table was placed at some point, with hot tea and pastries on it.

"Did anyone else prepare it...Okay, let's take a break then."

After carefully confirming that there was nothing "suspicious" about the pastries, Xia Fan climbed down the stairs and sat down.

After all, the "dark snacks" on Jinguji Aoi's bookshelf during his last visit still left him with lingering fears.

"It's really strange that I can't even find it here."

While enjoying the shortbread supplied exclusively to the royal family and sipping the expensive hot tea, he sighed absentmindedly.

After a whole morning, I looked through ancient books from the Heian period to the Edo period. In these ancient books spanning thousands of years, I did not find any records related to "Amaterasu".
