Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

What I encountered

It is the true God!

The face of the deity was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly, but his temperament, physique, and even the look in his eyes when he drew his sword were exactly the same as the senior who had saved him.

Shouldn't it be.

Is this a deity walking among humans, or the deity himself?

A jumble of chaotic thoughts filled Fujimura Chiba's mind, and she didn't even realize that Kyoko had helped her up.

It was Uesugi Kiyoshi's outstretched hand that interrupted her thoughts.

A small statue appeared before her eyes.

"Take it back. Pray to it morning and night. If you feel that you can't control that thing behind your head, pray sincerely and the power will help you suppress it."

Fujimura Chiba cherished it like a precious treasure.

"Yes! I understand, Kami-sama."

Her eyes were now filled with fervor as she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi neither agreed nor disagreed with the title "God-sama"; he simply raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, now tell me, what's the deal with the demonic aura emanating from you?"

"It doesn't look like it was born that way. What, did you attract some evil spirit?"

Upon hearing this, a complex look of hatred flashed in Fujimura Chiba's eyes.

"It started when I was a child."

"It all started when that woman began to follow a cult."

"She's changed. All her former gentleness is gone. She's now frantically dedicating everything to that cult."

I don't remember which day it was.

“When she came back from her pilgrimage, the way she looked at me changed.”

"Become cold and excited, irritable and eager to try."

"She locked me in a cage, didn't give me food, spoke harshly to me, whipped me from time to time, and chanted strange spells at me."

I don't know how much time passed.

"I feel like there's a foreign object on the back of my head."

"You can't see it or touch it, but it definitely exists!"

"that is."

"What you see is the culprit that made me this way!"

Chapter 324 It takes no effort at all

These words piqued Uesugi Kiyoshi's interest considerably.

That's quite interesting.

The woman Fujimura Chiba was talking about was her mother, that fool who was bewitched by religion and destroyed her family with her own hands.

It seems that the reason this little girl developed the "two-mouthed woman" monster is the work of her mother.

A housewife couldn't possibly have this ability; it must be the work of some cult.

Fujimura Chiha is only a high school student this year. She was classmates with Kyoko in junior high school, so the incident must have happened no more than five years ago.

A cult possessing the means to catalyze demonic creatures?

This is an incredible discovery—there is a shortcut for mortals to become extraordinary, and the power of esoteric rituals is the most widely known path to heaven.

However, it's not so simple to turn an ordinary little girl into a monster just by using some torturous methods and spells.

Similar techniques exist in the magic of Onmyoji, but the requirements are extremely strict, and the success rate is even lower.

In addition, there are rumors that some famous demons have mastered the secret method of transforming mortals into demons, but this is just a legend and has not been confirmed.

The reason Uesugi Kiyoshi knew so much detail was because Professor Edward of the association had an almost fanatical obsession with these matters, and one of his most valued research projects was "transformation."

In short, it is the shortcut for ordinary people to become extraordinary that almost all the powerful forces in this country are pursuing.

“At that time, my father committed suicide. The neighbors called the police. The police investigated and found that the cult had already fled. The woman was arrested by the police, but was released after a short time.”

"Ha, according to common sense, she is still a victim and has not committed any crime. Her abuse of me was just due to being misled. All the sins have been borne by that cult, while that woman is unharmed."

"."

“You have no idea how much I wished she had died there.”

"Why was it Dad who died, and not her?"

"How can she still have the face to live in this world?"

Fujimura Chiba's expression didn't show any dramatic emotional fluctuations, but the unintentional grit in her words and the bone-chilling hatred were undeniable.

It seems she hates her mother to the core.

"You hate her so much, yet you still came to Kyoto with her?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked softly.

Fujimura Chiba's eyes dimmed slightly.

"What can I do?"

I wasn't even sixteen years old back then.

“I went to work, but no place would hire me. I had nowhere to live, no tuition fees, no food, I had nothing.”

"Dad is dead."

"That woman squandered all our family fortune."

"There is still a lot of debt on our shoulders."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"My God, if only you could have saved me back then."

Uesugi Kiyoshi understood everything Fujimura Chiba said.

It is perfectly normal for a minor to struggle in this society when they have no parents to rely on.

Uesugi Kiyoshi himself had also gone through hard times, so he didn't express much sentimentality, but simply continued to ask, "Then..."

"Do you remember what that sect was called back then?"

How could I possibly forget?

"The Unity Sect—that's the name."

"I also heard the term 'taking refuge' from there. It wasn't Buddhism, but they used 'taking refuge' to describe the faith of believers."

With the name etched in his mind, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt that Professor Edward would be very interested in this sect.

After returning to Tokyo, have Yuichi and Professor Edward work together to investigate this cult; they might find something useful.

After all, judging from their actions, they are not exactly benevolent people, so the association has no qualms about committing murder and robbery.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at Fujimura Chiha, then at Kyoko who looked worried. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go all the way and be a good Samaritan.

She's a believer with sentimental value, we can't just leave her here.

“I’m currently living in Tokyo with Kyoko. I’m only in Kyoto for some work-related matters, and I’ll be going back in a few days.”

"If you really want to leave your mother, you might as well come with us."

“I will find you a job with a salary that is enough to cover your tuition and living expenses, without affecting your school schedule.”

"How about it?"

Fujimura Chiba was pleasantly surprised—it would be wonderful if it could really be like that.

Serving by the side of the gods, being able to frequently accompany Kyoko-senpai, and living a carefree life—it was simply paradise for her.

Nodding hurriedly, Fujimura Chiba bowed deeply again.

"Thank you so much! Please look forward to my future performances!"

She was currently penniless, so repaying the kindness was just empty talk. Moreover, this "deity" clearly had a close relationship with Senior Kyoko, so she couldn't show too much intimacy. She could only remember this kindness for now and wait to repay it in the future.

"So, you've been suppressing the demonic energy that was implanted in you until just now?"

"Hmm, so your mind is quite resilient, no wonder your faith is so strong."

Why did I suddenly lose control?

"Because of these problems? Or is there another reason?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked casually.

After he finished speaking, he saw Fujimura Chiba clench her small fists, her face full of disgust.

"It's not just them, is it?"

"That woman works at a nightclub—which is actually a combination of a casino, a brothel, and a bar."

"She earns money by sleeping with men inside, and I don't see her for days at a time."

"Recently, that woman seems to have never changed her ways and has gotten involved with some religious organization again."

“I also have a part-time job at night. I work odd jobs at the shop where that woman works. She asked someone to introduce me to this place.”

“I don’t want to go either, but the salary they offer is just too high, and I’m really short of money.”

"Just yesterday, I overheard that woman talking to her [church member]; she wanted to sell me to that nightclub."

“I don’t want to accept any kind of business in that kind of place, but if I don’t work there, I won’t have enough money to live on, and if I don’t rely on that woman, I’ll even be homeless.”

"So, after working part-time at the coffee shop, it was probably the most desperate and helpless time of my life. Then those people started harassing me, so I couldn't control myself anymore."

"It's all that woman's fault!"

"I heard it clearly yesterday; she wanted to offer me up to some kind of [mage]."
