I Am an Emperor in a World of Mixed Anime

Higashino Akira's gaze locked onto the man. By observing his aura, he learned that his real name was Sato Hiroshi. This was the same name that one of the people leading the charge in the crowd when the Yunmeng Group headquarters was surrounded by protesters and reporters in Tokyo.

"Open the door."

The cell door opened, and Higashino Akira walked in. Under the watchful protection of the Imperial Guards beside him, he mobilized ten points of his Qi and gently touched the half-dead man lying on the ground, panting.

In an instant, an evil spirit with scalded skin was ejected from the body by the force of destiny, only to quickly retract.

Realizing he had been exposed, Hiroshi Sato looked up sharply, staring in horror at the man they had targeted.

Akira Higashino narrowed his eyes, then turned and left.

"Let's go."

The result is in, although the connection still cannot be traced back to the real mastermind.

However, this situation is completely different from ordinary evil spirit possession. It is more stable, more hidden, and more deadly. The original owner of the body has already died completely from the beginning, with no possibility of rescue.

The word "possession" involuntarily popped into Higashino Akira's mind!

Once I grasped this point, everything that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Chapter 131 Dinner Party

No wonder those behind-the-scenes manipulators treat human lives like dirt. They barely manage to find a clue, and then they quickly orchestrate the suicides or assassinations of their subordinates.

Especially since they've become politicians of considerable influence, how could they just give it all up like that?

In a small place like Japan, even officials and politicians who host the Olympics don't commit suicide this frequently, let alone assassinate someone, let alone attempt an assassination. What a joke! Does he think he's Abe or Trump?

Moreover, people from both the business and political spheres can exert pressure on Yunmeng.

In matters of the heart, others don't need to cultivate subordinates at all; they can simply seize control of whoever they fancy.

Generally speaking, as long as one is not a particularly central or very small number of people in the mortal world, it is difficult for someone with a scheming mind to succeed in possessing another's body. If one disguises it well, it is not so easy to be exposed.

Because these rats in the gutter, the smarter ones, choose to possess those with similar energy fields and colors, so even those with the ability to see ghosts might not be able to easily distinguish them.

If it weren't for Higashino Akira's ability to discern a person's true name through their aura, he wouldn't have recognized him either.

As he walked out of the shelter and looked at the gloomy sky above, Akira Higashino sighed.

As expected, this world is a terrible place, at least in this island nation. It's full of wandering ghosts and evil spirits, who can easily possess people and disguise themselves as humans. Urban legends and supernatural phenomena fly together.

Aside from pretty girls, there's nothing left to look forward to in this world.

"Then punish those who should be punished, and then release them. Keep an eye on the lockdown measures, and don't let these guys die on our turf."

He gave a brief instruction to the undercover agent dressed in a Japanese police uniform beside him, waved his hand, and walked into the executive car that had been waiting outside the detention center for a long time.

Some information, if you can't get it out by asking, then you can't get it out; there's no need to ask.

On your own turf, it doesn't matter who attacks you; what matters is knowing who has the capability to do so.

[Series of Quests: Conquest (Started)]

[Second Task: To repel external aggression, internal stability must come first. How can we tolerate others snoring beside our bed? When faced with lawless elements, we must strike with the determination to eradicate them completely, with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, to decisively eliminate dissent within our territory, rectify the situation, and secure the nation!]

[Task completion rate: 0%]

[Task Reward: Upgrade to the Divine Realm version, loading of the Three Realms module.]

The second phase of the Conquest mission started right after the first phase was completed, but to be honest, it's not easy.

The main difficulty is that there are too many evil spirits in this godforsaken place.

Although Akira Higashino's territory is mainly located in the rural areas of Okumizome and Itomori, he also has quite a few scattered enclaves within the city.

Compared to cities, the countryside is relatively sparsely populated and has fewer evil spirits, making it easier to clean. However, people are born, grow old, get sick, and die, and new spirits with lingering attachments will always appear in the world.

The difficulty in the city is that even if you clean out the evil spirits in your home, they are still everywhere outside, and it's easy for them to bring new evil spirits back into your home.

The Cloud Dream Shrine barrier in the phone can protect people, but it can't cover an entire house. That would be too expensive, and the power of faith would only be insufficient to cover the costs.

Ultimately, the problem is a lack of manpower.

It's unrealistic to assign a mediocre protective spirit to every family and every person, like Jianzi did.

If I had a super working spirit that was more responsive, had a simpler trigger mechanism, was more powerful, and could create thousands of clones that could appear in different places across space in a short time, I might be able to upgrade it and make it a gatekeeper or something, solving a major pain point.

In other aspects, there are also many points that need to be further deepened and controlled, and implemented one by one.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Akira Higashino fell into deep thought.

After a long time, a sudden ringing sound came from his ear, and the vibration from his phone interrupted his thoughts.

It was a letter from Yamada Ryo.

[Dongye, want to come to Starry Night for hot pot tonight?]

While Higashino Akira was still pondering why Miss Liang Qichao had suddenly become so generous, her next message arrived.

[Pochi has also come; she needs a protector to take her home.]

Akira Higashino: "..."

What else can be said?

Okay.

Upon seeing this reply on the other end of the network, Yamada Ryo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

[The restaurant opens at night after Starry Night closes for the day; don't forget to pick up some meat on your way.]

.........

night.

After paying the fine, providing full compensation, and receiving forgiveness, Hiroshi Sato finally walked out of the detention center with a gloomy expression.

The burns on his soul were already excruciatingly painful, and the thought of his supervisor still scolding him with such pain and indignation at this point made his face twitch slightly.

What a joke! He's been a ghost for so many years, when has he ever suffered such a loss!

If he could change bodies, he wouldn't have been able to escape from that eerie, dilapidated company building. In the end, the police officers who caught him used methods to prevent his soul from leaving his body...

After walking a distance and leaving the police station's sight, Hiroshi Sato, enduring the burning pain, ripped the amulet off his neck and threw it into a roadside trash can. After finishing, he kicked the trash can hard in anger.

The loud noise startled passersby, who quickly moved away upon seeing his fierce gaze.

We must get our revenge!

I can't have that guy's body, but I can't have his wife and daughter doing the same thing!

After venting his anger, Hiroshi Sato grinned wickedly, wondering if the scoundrel of a supervisor who dared to lecture him would still be so arrogant when he woke up and fantasized about his wife lying naked and filthy in an alley, her body cold. He walked towards the supervisor's house.

As for easily subduing him, discovering his abnormality, forcing his soul out of his body, and targeting someone whose depths are unknown, he simply doesn't dare to carry out revenge.

As an evil spirit, he lived for far longer than the lifespan of an ordinary person. The older he got, the more afraid he became of death. He was kept going by his evil spirit. He could do bad things, but he couldn't seek death.

As Hiroshi Sato walked, he suddenly realized that his field of vision was getting lower and lower, darker and darker, until with a bang, he was suddenly spun around several times, and a headless body came into view.

"That's...my body?"

His pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the white female arm hovering behind the body at the neck.

'when?'

A strong sense of resentment welled up inside him, and he suddenly understood why that person had done nothing after noticing his abnormality today, and simply let him leave the detention center.

It turns out they weren't letting him go, they just didn't want his death to be associated with the other party...

It turns out... being imprisoned there was when he was safest.

Black, foul-smelling blood flowed out. No matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't change the fact that his soul and body had been shattered together, the wounds couldn't heal, there was no way to turn back, and he was headed for death.

Only after the evil spirit was completely destroyed did the white arm, composed of a fragment of the spirit and emitting a faint, hazy white light, begin to move again, grabbing the useless body and dragging it into a dark alleyway.

Similar scenes have occurred across the country: golden butterflies flutter around, sucking the target dry; white arms appear out of thin air, their incurable wounds instantly slicing the target in two or more pieces...

Chapter 132 Connections!

In the evening, at Shimokitazawa.

Akira Higashino arrived at Fanxing with a bag of various pre-cut meats that he had bought on his way from the supermarket.

At this point, it was almost closing time, and there were very few customers left. The cleaning had already begun.

I just stepped inside.

Yamada Ryo, who had been slacking off, spotted him immediately.

"You've finally come to Higashino. We've been waiting for you."

"Oh... Wagyu beef! Matsutake mushrooms! And prawns! Higashino, I love it..."

Yamada Ryo leaned over and took the bag from his hand. Looking at the contents, his eyes widened instantly, sparkling, and he almost drooled.

"You like meat, don't you?"

Seeing Ryo's pathetic state, Ichiji Nijika stood beside her and complained irritably.

Mingming knew something was wrong from the moment she heard Liang say that there was going to be a get-together and asked her to cook more rice. But she just assumed that Liang had used up her allowance for the month and wanted to freeload. She couldn't help but soften and agree.

Unexpectedly, Ryo even managed to persuade Higashino to bring over some really high-end ingredients!

Looking at the high-end ingredients that Higashino brought, the girl couldn't help but feel somewhat indebted to him.

"Thank you for your expense, Mr. Higashino."

Higashino Akira smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. I don't need the money. The manager treated me last time, so I can't keep eating and drinking for free. Besides, I have a big appetite, so I might even get my money's worth in the end. Don't worry."

Those high-end ingredients look like they're worth at least three or four hundred thousand yuan. How could we possibly eat our money back?

Hongxia looked helplessly at Higashino Akira, who was still comforting them at this moment.

Although it's heartwarming, you should still be less nice to Ryo, Higashino-kun, or she'll really take advantage of you!

"My home is not far from here, so let's have our gathering at my place. It's not convenient at the restaurant."

She sighed at him, then turned and waved, "Kita, Pochi-chan, let's go."

"Hey... what about me?"

Seeing that Hongxia hadn't called him, the store manager suddenly became anxious, "Besides, the store isn't even finished cleaning yet!"

"Anyway, it's almost finished. Just keep working hard, sis. Let's go back and cook dinner first, so you can eat as soon as you get back. That's all..."

While Hongxia was cleaning, Pochi and Kita exchanged glances. After the two realized what was happening and packed their luggage, they immediately grabbed each other's hands and ran out of the store together.
