Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 248 Spiritification

Ōwada also saw the newspapers, and his face instantly turned deathly pale. "No...impossible...how could there be any here..."

"How could this be?" Moriyama Tetsuya coldly replied, slowly raising his hand to point at the reports. "These are what you guys called 'maintaining stability' back then? Wrongful convictions fabricated to cover up the military's collection of 'special materials'? Judge Ōwada, can you sleep at night listening to the cries of those who died unjustly?"

Owada trembled violently, stammering, "I don't know... I don't know anything... It was an order from above... I just..."

"Just obeying orders, sending the innocent to their doom and casting those in the know into the abyss!" Moriyama Tetsu's voice suddenly rose, filled with endless resentment, "Just like what you did to me! For your future, and to avoid offending Onuki Goro, you went against your conscience and read out that utterly nonsensical verdict!"

Intense hatred fueled the "cancer rosary" in Moriyama Tetsu's hand.

One of the beads, which was still intact, trembled violently, and the reversed Ksitigarbha mantra engraved on its surface emitted an ominous dark red light.

At the same time, the trace amounts of toxins that had accumulated in this underground warehouse for decades, slowly leaking from those gas cylinders that had cracked due to rust, and the resentment that had arisen and permeated the area due to the atrocities committed by the military, seemed to be summoned violently!
buzzing...

A low hum filled the air. The rusty gas cylinders began to vibrate slightly, and wisps of visible gray-green mist began to escape from them. This was no longer an unconscious leak, but rather a writhing and gathering motion, as if it were alive!
The temperature in the basement plummeted, and the water stains on the walls instantly froze into frost.

At the same time, the prayer beads in Moriyama Tetsu's hand also went out of control, and the bead that had just been activated suddenly exploded!
Click!

"!!!"

A sharp, painful howl filled with boundless resentment filled the basement. The indescribable shrill howl did not come from a human throat, but rather from the vibration of the atmosphere throughout the space.

The released resentment did not surge into Moriyama Tetsu's body as before, but instead plunged into the pervasive gray-green poisonous fog!
Like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, the power of resentment and the highly poisonous fog merged instantly.

The grayish-green poison surged and coalesced, gradually forming several blurry humanoid outlines.

They have no facial features, only distorted air currents and a crimson light of resentment flickering within them.

These figures emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound, dragging their viscous, poisonous "limbs," as they slowly surrounded Ōwada, who had already collapsed to the ground.

"Do not!!!"

Owada let out a desperate scream.

Moriyama Tetsuya no longer had the energy to deal with Owada, who was gradually melting into a puddle of pus from the poisonous fog, because he was now suffering an even greater shock from this mutation.

The resentment that was originally in his body was released almost out of control, and after mixing with the huge and filthy negative energy of this place, it flowed back in.

The terrifying power caused Moriyama Tetsu's body to groan in agony, the cracks on his skin spreading and deepening rapidly, covering his entire body like a spider web, as if he were about to shatter completely at any moment.

The excruciating pain did not disappear; instead, it transformed into a deeper, more violent power. His eyes were completely filled with bloodlust and resentment, and his reason was rapidly slipping away.

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

Moriyama Toru let out an inhuman roar, and powerful energy erupted from his translucent body, blasting away the surrounding debris!
The substances that make up his body begin to become unstable, and the originally distinct edges of his body become blurred, presenting a state between solidity and phantom—his body is becoming semi-spiritual!
The instant he completed all the transformations, some fragmented and vague thoughts entered his mind:

“…Experimental subject number 73…Cancer cell activity and resentment energy…Synchronization rate…Exceeding expectations…” “…'Cancer Spiritification'…Phase Three…Data…Stable…”

"...Warning: Energy runaway...Threshold exceeded..."

"...Target: Artificial...Deity...Base..."

Intermittent messages struck Moriyama Tetsuya's consciousness like a thunderbolt!
His consciousness, which had been somewhat confused due to his semi-spiritual transformation, was immediately jolted awake. The last cancer rosary in his hand emitted a faint blue light, trying his best to maintain his clarity of mind.

In that instant, Moriyama Tetsu knew everything!
Military!

It's the military headquarters!
They always knew!
They have been observing and recording themselves!
He was not simply a vengeful person; from the moment he obtained the rosary, he had fallen into an even more insidious trap.

His own body, eroded by cancer and hatred, along with his dying obsession, was merely experimental material for the military to create so-called "artificial gods"!

Fortunately, artificial gods inherently possess demonic qualities to some extent, and are able to collect the thoughts and ideas of other humans toward them.

As the military was doing this, their thoughts, emotions, and mental energy were constantly converging on Moriyama Tetsu, which is why he was able to sense those messages.

Ordinary artificial deities can only receive positive energy, and the deities themselves have no consciousness; these things will only be ground down and transformed into materials for their own growth.

But Moriyama Tetsuya is different!
His current spirit body is a combination of resentment and poison, possessing both the curse power of evil spirits and the corrosive properties of poison.

Although it can be considered a kind of artificial deity, it can absorb negative energy, and the last cancer rosary helped him preserve his last bit of will...

Through a series of coincidences, the military's originally secretive operations were finally discovered by Moriyama Tetsu.

"The military...bastards!!!"

Overwhelmed by the anger of being deceived, exploited, and losing his family, Moriyama Toru roared and his spirit form rushed into an inconspicuous corner underground—where a surveillance camera was hidden. The military had been using these cameras to monitor his movements and changes for days.

boom! ! !
A fist imbued with resentment and toxic power slammed down, causing the equipment in the interlayer behind the wall to explode along with the surrounding walls.

Before long, sparks flew everywhere, and the entire courthouse was reduced to a pile of ruins.

Moriyama Tetsu destroyed the hidden observation post, and also briefly broke free from the "experimental subject" shackles imposed on him by the military.

However, he was also suffering. The violent power he unleashed made Moriyama Tetsu's spirit form even more severe, and he almost completely lost control of his body and power.

Even as the last cancer rosary continued to radiate power in an attempt to maintain Moriyama Tetsu's consciousness, the rationality in his pupils was rapidly disappearing.

With blood-red pupils looking up in a certain direction, Moriyama Tetsu was driven by instinct to move closer to that direction.

There were several scents there that he found repulsive!
