Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

Unbeknownst to him, as Amamiya Rin's consciousness rose from the chaos, he opened his eyes to find the familiar room furnishings before him. However, a subtle sense of separation made him quickly realize that he had entered a dream world.

Removing the two arms draped across her chest, Amamiya Rin stood up, stepped over Tomie's body, got out of bed, and drew back the curtains.

Clear sunlight streamed into the room, carrying the clean feel unique to the morning, and the air seemed to move as the light entered.

Amamiya Rin took a deep breath, the cool air filling her lungs and completely dispelling the last vestiges of sleepiness.

A new day, a new life, begins.

The goal is very clear: the first step is sound.

Or rather, music.

Music academies, professional musicians, and even street singers in the real world are perfectly replicated in the dream world, becoming an inexhaustible source of material for him.

The initial lessons were extremely boring, but not difficult for Amamiya Rin.

It's not about learning to sing, but about learning to use your own vocal organs.

Basic training includes abdominal breathing, diaphragm control, steady breath output, and instantaneous bursts of energy.

Amamiya Rin, who had practiced breathing techniques for decades, mastered these techniques in less than a week.

After completing breathing exercises, we began to work on vocalization. We started with the simplest single vowel, A, with pitch training conducted simultaneously, followed by simple scales and vocal exercises…

He spent 10 years building a solid foundation for himself.

Ten years later, Amamiya Rin's control over his voice is no longer what it used to be.

He can easily maintain a steady long tone for more than three minutes without changing the pitch, and can accurately sing complex melodies and harmonies. He can switch between several distinct timbres as needed.

It can be warm and mellow like a fine vintage wine, or cool and ethereal like snowmelt spring water.

The control of rhythm and dynamics has become second nature, and complex melodies and dynamic changes can be performed almost effortlessly.

During her long period of training, Amamiya Rin also joined several bands. At school, she would drink afternoon tea and play light music with her club members. Outside the school, she joined a rock band and performed on stage. She was even attracted by the gravitational field and accepted an invitation to form a band for life.

How to express one's emotions with simple songs, how to use one's songs to stir the emotions of others—after countless times pushing the atmosphere to a climax or leading to tranquility, Amamiya Rin completed the first stage of her training and entered the second stage.

Observe, analyze, fit, and delve deeper—to make observations more rational.

His gaze fell upon the vast expanse of everyday life.

Inside the café, a couple was talking quietly. The girl's voice was soft, with a slight, unconscious upward inflection. The boy's voice was deep, his speech slow and gentle, filled with affection.

In the subway car, commuters leaned wearily against the railing, their eyes vacant, their breathing shallow and disordered, accompanied by tired sighs.

In an izakaya (Japanese pub), several office workers, having finished their shifts, complain about their bosses and work. Their voices are loud and their emotions are agitated, filled with grumbling and alcohol-fueled indulgence.

The open court hearing, the powerful and inflammatory tone of the lawyers' defense, and the judge's somber voice when reading the verdict interacted.

In a university lecture, the professor's authoritative voice firmly captured the attention of hundreds of students in the audience.

……

Time flowed by in these daily observations.

Amamiya Rin was like a sponge, absorbing the complex and disordered sound frequency samples surrounding him.

The sweet nothings of couples, the listlessness of office workers, the composure of the elderly, the warmth of a mother… He no longer just listens with his ears, but uses his whole being to receive the emotions, states, and intentions behind these sounds, as well as their connection with breathing and micro-movements.

Then, try to make a move.

He speaks at the point where the target's breathing changes, and responds before the last syllable of the other person's sentence has completely dissipated, mimicking the other person's voice frequency and embedding his own voice into the natural gaps between the other person's words, as if it were a continuation of his own thoughts.

This process was fraught with failures.

More often than not, his approach was ineffective, or the effect was completely opposite to what was expected, attracting suspicious or wary glances.

However, he has enough time to try, adjust, and try again.

It was during this long and arduous process of grinding, a process that could drive mortals to despair, that Amamiya Rin once again confirmed one thing with unparalleled clarity.

Tomokichi Murata is a genius, a genius who transcends common sense!

No, "genius" is an understatement to describe his talent.

To imbue sound with magic, to extend suggestion beyond death... is this really just a technique?

It's completely supernatural hypnosis.

Before learning it, Amamiya Rin didn't have a real sense of its power, but after decades of studying it, he truly realized how terrifying this technology was.

However, in such a world, this situation is not impossible, is it?

Amamiya Rin quickly came to terms with it.

After all, speaking into a sleeping person's ear can enter their dream, and a woman with strong resentment can unleash her life force; these are common phenomena in this world that can be achieved if the conditions are met.

You don't need to be a very special person; anyone among the masses, as long as they happen to meet the conditions, can do supernatural things.

It took Amamiya Rin over twenty years to cross the threshold of this hypnosis technique.

He can now, through observation and guidance, make his target perceive his voice as an extension of his own thoughts during a brief conversation.

In other words, he can implant suggestions into a target in a matter of minutes, without any tools and without the target intending to cooperate.

This seemingly magical approach is merely a threshold in Murata Tomokichi's theory.

The path of cultivation after crossing the threshold was something Murata Tomokichi had discussed with him, but it was too vague, carrying a mysterious and enigmatic connotation.

It's no longer a skill that can be improved simply by talent and time; it requires a moment of inspiration, or some inexplicable connection.

At this stage, while accumulating experience is important, it is no longer the most crucial element.

So, how do we find that spiritual light?

Amamiya Rin and several others with a similar interest spent over a year conducting various experiments and reflections.

Finally, Amamiya Rin was found.

That glimmer of light illuminating his path was not sought externally, but rather reflected inwardly.

A trick he had already encountered and learned suddenly came to mind one day when he was passing by the Ghost Cry Temple and chatting with the abbot of the dream.

That is Buddhism—the Dharma Gate of Perfect Penetration through the Ear!
