Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

There just happened to be a hut by the roadside, making it an excellent ambush spot. After all, if you chase them openly, they'll just run away.

Kazuma looked at the one on the ground who had been beaten the worst, pretending to check his rope, but actually loosened it a little.

Then he walked to the door and started chatting with Kerry.

"I get the feeling that you know where those guys came from, and you're not surprised at all."

Kerry blinked, surprised that Kazuma's senses were so sharp.

Those guys here are undoubtedly referring to the Deep Ones.

"Of course I know, you can tell by their skin color."

Kerry looked out the window and answered seriously.

"Skin color? Aren't their scales black?"

"Yes, I've heard that mermaids always need to find humans to reproduce. These fish-men look like descendants of the black men who were thrown off the ship during the triangular trade."

"You guy..."

Just as Kazuma was about to complain, Kerry made a gesture to him.

The car is here!

He immediately understood and walked into the crowd.

"The Yuanyue car will be here soon. All of you, be quiet and move to your rooms!"

Completely unaware of why they had been kidnapped, the group could only keep making "woo-woo!" sounds.

Then, around the same time as Zhenjian, he deliberately caused the first person's rope to come off, and then went to the back to mess with the others.

The man felt a lightness in his hands; in fact, it would be very difficult for a person to stand up without hands.

Seeing Kazuma trying to move people to the back, and hearing the approaching car, the person who realized that the rope binding his hands had inexplicably come loose rushed out of the house like a madman.

He rushed from the corridor to the dormitory entrance, ripped the cloth off his mouth, and stood in front of the car like a madman, yelling incessantly.

"Teacher! Teacher! Help me!"

Although I don't know if the people on the bus are teachers, people can lose their rationality when they're pushed to the limit.

Eizan Etsu, who was originally in the back of the convoy, was also wearing the same smile as Kennedy in his sports car. The matter had gone very well. Now all that was left was to wait for Mr. Azami to arrive and have the priest find a way to bring the murderers to justice.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed out, shouting irrational words. The long convoy was forced to stop, and the security guards got out of their cars, annoyed and wary, to inquire about the situation.

The next moment, Kerry and Kazuma, armed with weapons, charged straight to the back of the convoy.

Since there was only one gun, it was put back on Kerry. The chainsaw was nowhere to be found. Kazuma only had a small sickle that he found in the house, while Kerry had a large hammer.

However, this did not affect them at all. When they saw that two security guards were getting off the bus, they immediately put on their professional instincts and prepared to close the doors to protect the passengers inside.

However, the two ignored everything and charged at the cars behind them. The cars immediately started moving, and Erina Nakiri, sitting in the last car, watched helplessly as the car in front of her was smashed by Kerry, leaving its windows cracked.

Kerry and Hehe's prediction was correct; the Ten Heroes' team was indeed arranged in order.

Sitting inside, Eizan Etsu watched in horror as the other person smashed the glass.

At that moment, he missed his own bulletproof glass car terribly, but since everyone at the school used the same vehicles.

He shook his head in terror, only to see a large hand reach in and grab his collar.

The other person started confronting the security guards who rushed out of other cars.

Kerry didn't care about the car or anything, he grabbed Eizan Etsuya's head and slammed it in front of the car.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Master of Frozen Eels?!

Pain, excruciating pain. The last thing Eizan Etsuya remembered was that he should have agreed to the Metropolitan Police Department's request to send more people to conduct a thorough search, instead of being cautious and choosing to handle it internally because they had just dealt with the body of the divine messenger and nothing unusual had happened last night.

When he regained consciousness, everything in front of him was blurry.

The familiar feeling of glasses perched on his nose was gone. He tried to twist his body, only to find himself tied to a chair.

It's no wonder that Totsuki Academy chose a location to build its school. The houses are not connected, and various mountain paths are everywhere. The school also has fewer students than a normal public school with a junior high and senior high school combined, due to its terrifying dropout rate. It is mainly based on the idea that the land is sparsely populated, inconvenient to travel, and suitable for hiding things and committing crimes.

Eizan Etsu was a smart man; he took a few seconds to force himself to calm down by inhaling and exhaling.

The other party is likely a late-night chef, a martial arts practitioner, or even a professional exorcist. He had previously heard that the Fuyong Group and the Mitsui Group had a certain Kengan Association under their names, which allowed entrepreneurs to hire fighters to fight each other to resolve business disputes and prevent business wars from escalating to the point where no one could make money.

Each of them is someone who could easily defeat a large number of ordinary people. Today, I'm afraid I've just suffered and run into a brick wall that old man, Senzaemon Nakiri, found.

A quick glance around revealed what seemed to be some kind of place, and a musty smell wafted through the air.

However, it seemed that no lights were on, and there was only a light source behind him. Judging from the yellowish light, Ruishan Zhijin guessed that this must be a cellar where things were stored, and the time must be evening.

"He's awake."

A voice suddenly rang out, startling Eizan Etsu. He suddenly realized that the light could shine on him, meaning that his actions of looking around had been seen by the other party.

However, he did not panic immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and tried his best not to let fear and anger affect his judgment.

"Danzo-sensei, is that you?"

Eizan Etsu also remembered that brief encounter. At the time, he really didn't realize that the guy had such abilities. He couldn't believe that someone had betrayed him, and why the other party could discover the flaw in just one day.

He once suspected that there might be a mole among his own staff, but he could not contact anyone from the Hesheng Liao, who was mainly responsible for the sacrifices. He was unsure whether they had been taken away by Senzaemon, so he could only report them missing to the police.

He probably couldn't understand it even if he racked his brains. In this hellish place where everyone was working themselves to the bone to avoid being eliminated, how could there be a genius who, in addition to not being eliminated, could be active in the bushes and trees of the school every day?

Seeing no response from the darkness, but knowing the person must be nearby, Eizan Etsuya continued speaking.

"You two...you mean you two? They did indeed hurt your companions before. I know that generous people like you care about these things the most, and we will definitely make it up to you!"

He was referring to Kazuma, whom he thought had been killed. After watching some surveillance footage showing their whereabouts, Eizan Etsu also believed that the three of them were acting together, only that two of them looked alike.

"Besides, those were all actions taken by those fishmen without our consent, and they really have nothing to do with us. We are also having a lot of headaches because of those freaks."

No matter how respectful he was to the priest before, when it came to shirking responsibility and lying, Eizan Etsu didn't hesitate for a second.

"Moreover, our cooperation with them was quite pure, which was simply to improve our cooking skills. And what we gave them before was nothing more than some hearts, which were not taken from living people, but from unclaimed corpses in funeral homes. We also paid for the cremation of those corpses and paid for the storage of their urns. I don't think this is an unforgivable thing."

First, he proved that he had no connection with those fishmen, and then he started talking about interests.

"Moreover, we are also considering the situation of the Japanese culinary world. You two must have seen what Totsuki Culinary Arts is like now. The tempering of the precious gem that General Nakiri mentioned is too difficult for ordinary people, and it is really not conducive to chefs improving their social status."

However, the Mr. Azami we've chosen is different. His philosophy is to bring more people into a massive organization, giving chefs all over Japan a common direction and enabling more unified and refined cooking, even to the point of interfering with the choices of bureaucrats and members of parliament. I know you two aren't the kind of people who are solely driven by profit, but this is truly a good thing for the country and its people. Besides, Chief Nakiri and Mr. Azami are, after all, family. In the future, Ms. Erina, the heir who carries Mr. Azami's blood, will one day take over the entire Japanese culinary world. If you two assist Mr. Azami now, he will certainly not lack sincerity..."

The argument was long, but in essence, it boiled down to this: following someone who rebels and will later become involved in politics will definitely bring you more than following a conservative old man. If his rebellion succeeds, you'll certainly reap the rewards. Besides, he's also the father of the future Commander-in-Chief Erina. If you make things difficult for him now, he might not benefit after he's gone.

Eizan Etsu also believed that he had explained the advantages and disadvantages quite clearly, and that in Japan, it was not a big deal to overthrow one's superior or to turn a powerful figure into a rival.

"Ha... Let's just start asking directly. Your previous suggestion that he should state his own conditions might actually lead him to reveal their advantages, which is completely unacceptable."

That was... a yawn?

Eizan Etsu could hardly believe his ears. Why wouldn't anyone be interested in such tempting things and future culinary concepts? Even if they could remain unmoved, shouldn't they at least have some concern in their hearts?

"What if that group of people sat down and started talking about immortality? What if they also said they could turn us into fish-men and make us immortal?"

"Hey, these fish-men really are immortal. It would be quite troublesome to convert them into people without the bloodline."

"Here we go again. I can tell you're really familiar with these things!"

Listening to what seemed like casual conversation, Eizan Etsu also felt a sense of panic for some reason. The other person's words contained no mention of avenging anyone or what kind of life they would live after completing this job; there was only a sense of indifference towards these things, and they were more interested in other things.

"Alright, tell us the specific details about that cult, and all the things your men have done."

In the soft glow of the setting sun, Eizan Etsu also saw a hand reaching out from the darkness, holding a bottle filled with various common insects wriggling inside.

"I'm not that kind of guy. I don't know any of those bloody torture methods, and I'm not really capable of doing them. I've just watched some anime."

However, I believe many of the points of entry into your body will enjoy these things.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: What was bound to happen, happened.

Looking at Eizan Etsuya, who was suffering terribly under the torment of Sato Kazuma, Kerry couldn't help but shake his head.

"Didn't you say you're into anime? Where did you learn all this? Tokyo Ghoul?"

"Heavily insulted Ben."

Sato Kazuma gave a righteous and eloquent reply.

Eizan Etsu quickly revealed everything he knew.

They even made various demands for exchange and begged for mercy multiple times during the process.

However, as a 17-year-old businessman, he did not understand that even if these were indeed people sent by the enemy, begging for mercy would be useless.

In business warfare, there are compromises on interests, but power is a matter of life and death; no matter what, the other party will only bring him to his doom.

Moreover, the two people in front of me are not motivated by profit or power.

According to Eizan Etsuya's confession, they did not know the specific details of the cult. He first contacted the priest of the cult leader at the Totsuki Resort when he was a first-year student and had not yet become one of the Elite Ten and was undergoing culinary training.

At that time, a handsome man who called himself a priest approached him and showed him a deeper side of the world. It was after that he received an invitation from Mr. Thistle and acted as a matchmaker between the two.

It seems that Mr. Ji had gained some understanding of these extraordinary things during his travels abroad. The two quickly reached a cooperation agreement, which was that they would regularly provide offerings to the priests, and the priests would help them improve the chefs' culinary skills. Moreover, if anything beyond common sense happened, the priests would send their people to handle it.

At the same time, Eizan Etsu also believes that religion is a very good auxiliary means of development.

When they actually possessed supernatural artifacts, these would be the best way to unite people's hearts, so they began to introduce religion from the priests.

Currently, this cult not only has some students at Totsuki Academy, but also has a certain following in the community.

Although those audience members themselves were unaware that they might be worshipping Rahleyan Bodhisattva.

Those who diverged into the deep were called messengers of the gods within the order, and this aspect was basically controlled by the priests, so he didn't know everything about it.

According to Eizan Etsuya's description, he believed that the priests were a non-human race with mysterious powers, but although he revered that mysterious power, he did not feel any danger.

In his view, they were nothing more than aliens who wanted to live a better life, and it was only natural to benefit from cooperating with them.

However, given its relatively short history of development and the lack of accumulated power, its religious activities in society are currently limited to a few high-ranking members of the cult, namely his students and the fishmen, who have tricked a few female believers into serving the cult.

Meanwhile, over the course of a year, he provided the cult with about a hundred hearts and collected money from some families in the name of religion. Eizan Etsu only wanted power and money and had no interest in religious fanaticism. He was not like the Aum Xx Society, which carried out gas terrorist attacks everywhere.

They originally planned to launch another attack this fall to replace the commander-in-chief, but because the monster incident was exposed in advance, they had no choice but to contact Azami Nakiri in advance. After obtaining his consent, they launched the coup first, because if this matter became a big deal, and Senzaemon Nakiri purged Eizan Etsuya, things might change.
