Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

The soul needs a long period of rest and recuperation after being overdrawn.

So, where does this long period of time come from?

It can only be a dream.

If we want to turn the dream into reality, we must find Yuji Hirano, who is imprisoned.

In fact, during the day, Amamiya Rin did not stay in the police history compilation room all the time to look up files and learn about various strange and cursed information.

After receiving Ranko Inudo's blessing, he left the Metropolitan Police Department, looked up how to visit someone in prison, and went to complete the relevant procedures.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to get it done, and even if he could, it would take quite a while.

However, with the Sanskrit Illusionary Method, everything is given a green light—although it's not entirely legal.

Because he still had to deal with the Twilight Kintoki duo, after completing the formalities, Amamiya Rin did not go immediately and planned to postpone the trip to the next day. However, with the increased demand, he did not want to delay any longer.

More than half an hour later, the jeep pulled into the prison parking lot.

Amamiya Rin opened his eyes, and Tomie helped him out of the car, following the prison guard into the visiting room.

Just a few minutes later, Yuji Hirano was brought in by the prison guards.

He was wearing prison clothes, his hair was shaved very short, almost touching his scalp, revealing his pale scalp, and his face was thinner than in the file photo, looking dejected.

Hirano Yuji sat down across the glass, looking at Amamiya Rin and Tomie through the glass, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Picking up the microphone, Yuji Hirano asked decisively.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I have something to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully."

Amamiya Rin also picked up the microphone, and his voice rang in Hirano Yuji's ear through the microphone.

Hirano Yuji's gaze wavered for a moment, his pupils dilated slightly, and his posture relaxed.

"No problem, please ask."

Hirano Yuji answered obediently, seemingly without any change on the surface.

"You come from the world of dreams?"

Amamiya Rin got straight to the point and asked Hirano Yuji a question.

"That's right, I come from Yuji Hirano's dream."

Hirano Yuji answered decisively, nodding and speaking without hesitation.

"I've said this many times. No matter how you interrogate me, I can't change my story. After I came out of the dream, the original Yuji Hirano and Mari entered the dream world through my body. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"No, I believe you. I came here to find out how to switch between the self in my dreams and the self in reality."

Amamiya Rin said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuji Hirano looked stunned, as if he hadn't expected Rin Amamiya to say such a thing.

"Swap your dream self with your real self? Heh heh heh, I can't believe I'm hearing a question like that. What? Do you want to escape reality, run away to the dream world, and let another version of you live your life?"

Hirano Yuji asked with a sneer.

"Don't think too highly of the dream world. Marie used to think that dreams were freer than reality, but that's all nonsense. Dreams are more real than reality. There's no difference between the dream world and the real world."

"Don't worry about it. I just need to know how to switch between my dream self and my real self. I just need the answer to that question."

Amamiya Rin remained unfazed.

"No, no, no, it's not a replacement, it's a takeover. The people in the dream have taken away our real lives."

Hirano Yuji shook his head, a mocking smile on his face. He leaned forward abruptly, pressing his palm against the glass separating the two of them.

"To make that kind of thing happen is very simple, as simple as it gets: just turn your body inside out. Turn the surface into the inside, and the inside into the surface, just like turning the lining of a pocket inside out."

As he said this, Yuji Hirano's sarcasm was too frank, but his description was also very specific.

"Hey, do you know what this means? Your internal organs will fall out. Your heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, all hanging outside, and your bones will detach from your body, turning you into an empty shell with nothing inside."

"A normal person would surely die in this situation, but you didn't. Why? Because you're describing a physical phenomenon, not a supernatural one?"

Amamiya Rin remained unmoved by Hirano Yuji's description. He calmly observed the man opposite him and pointed out the flaws in his words.

As for becoming an empty shell... at worst, we can just remove the internal organs and bones beforehand.

He also possesses the Tomie physique, so even if his internal organs are removed, he won't die for a while. Even if his internal organs don't grow back in time, isn't there still the Soul Regenerator's Sword?

The swordswoman Tomie can remotely transfer life force, so even if someone is completely dead, she can be resurrected. What does it matter if her internal organs are thrown out?

"Because I have no internal organs or bones, I am empty before I am turned inside out."

Seeing that Amamiya Rin remained unmoved, Hirano Yuji also felt bored, and his expression became indifferent, no, it became strange.

"The real-life Yuji Hirano always thought I was born without internal organs, but he was wrong. I wasn't born without internal organs. It's obvious if you think about it. How could someone without internal organs grow this big? And how could it not be exposed during a physical exam?"

Hirano Yuji chuckled softly, as if mocking the foolishness of another version of himself.

However, upon hearing these words, Amamiya Rin showed a strange expression.

Because there are people in this world who are in similar circumstances.

In "The Terrifying Layers," how did the female protagonist's younger sister manage to remain undetected from childhood to adulthood, with skin beneath her skin?

Amamiya Rin couldn't understand it, but strangely enough, no one noticed her physical condition until she became a famous idol, until she was injured and had a layer of skin scraped off.

Could it be some kind of cognitive interference?

Everyone around was affected by the curse's cognitive interference, so even things that were very easy to expose went unnoticed.

"So, how did Hirano Yuji manage to do it? How did his internal organs disappear?"

Amamiya Rin didn't intend to continue thinking about that bizarre thing that defied common sense and logic; he went straight to asking Hirano Yuji the most important question.

If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why Yuji Hirano has no internal organs and why his real life was taken away by his dream self is because of a certain change that Yuji Hirano is about to reveal.

"A ritual. On the day my parents died, I found a black magic book in my house. It contained a ritual to summon the god of dreams. After completing the ritual, I would enter the world of dreams and continue to live with my family in that world."

Hirano Yuji's gaze darkened, and he grinned, revealing a chilling, eerie smile.

Another ceremony?

Amamiya Rin couldn't help but sigh.

Those high-dimensional demons always carelessly discard the rituals for summoning them. What's worse, these summoning rituals are not difficult to perform. Even a poor country boy, once he gets the method, can summon a demon capable of destroying the world.

Ignoring why Amamiya Rin sighed, Hirano Yuji continued.

"Following the ritual, I found the apartment I used to live in. That apartment had a passage to the dream dimension, where the boundary between reality and dreams becomes blurred. Then, I performed the ritual. After the ritual was completed, a small spider appeared. The spider crawled into my body through my mouth, ate my internal organs, and gnawed away my bones. I became an empty shell without any internal organs, but I am still alive. Don't ask me why I am still alive. I don't know. If I had to say, it's the power of the dream god."

Tomie Kawakami couldn't help but frown.

Letting spiders eat your internal organs and bones? The thought of that is chilling.

Amamiya Rin couldn't help but frown.

A dream? A spider? This kind of setting feels familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before.

Unable to recall for the moment, Amamiya Rin didn't bother to think about it further and asked Hirano Yuji instead.

"I'm not asking you why you're still alive. What I'm asking is, isn't your wish to enter the world of dreams and continue living with your family in that world? Why did you come out?"

"Because there is no real profit in that world..."

As he said this, Yuji Hirano's face contorted into a grimace, his lips twitching a few times before he continued.

"Dedication! God needs dedication. God needs me to dedicate a woman to Him as God's daughter."

"Offering? To put it bluntly, that's a sacrifice."

Amamiya Rin frowned and said unhappily.

They really know how to beautify themselves. What kind of goddess is this? The wife of the River God? Offering your former lover as a sacrifice to the gods. You've already committed such an evil deed, do you still want to cover up your actions?

Amamiya Rin shook her head, not wanting to talk to Hirano Yuuji any longer, and directly asked about the ceremony's format and precautions.

If it were anyone else, Hirano Yuji would never have revealed it. However, he was facing Amamiya Rin, a hypnotist who had honed his hypnosis to the point of mind control.

No matter how unwilling he was, he could only tell him the specific method.

After understanding the content of the ceremony, Amamiya Rin did not linger.

The jeep drove out of the prison's heavy iron gates, the cold walls gradually receding behind. Yu Gonglin leaned back in the passenger seat, eyes closed, trying to regulate his breathing. The emptiness from his depleted soul still lingered in his bones; each breath carried an indescribable weariness.

With a steady grip on the steering wheel, Tomie drove towards the old apartment where Yuji Hirano once lived, following the address that Rin Amamiya had previously looked up, and prepared the ritual items along the way.

Twenty minutes later, the Jeep pulled into a visitor parking space in an apartment building.

The apartment building is a seven-story structure with a square, box-like shape. The exterior walls are covered with small beige tiles, a common style. The entrance door on the first floor is an old-fashioned aluminum alloy framed glass door, with a faded fire prevention banner wrapped around the doorknob.

After getting off the car and entering the apartment, Amamiya Rin first visited the administrator's office.

Inside sat a middle-aged man in a dark blue work uniform, looking down at a newspaper. He immediately looked up when he heard the noise.

"Hello, is room 407 currently occupied?"

Amamiya Rin asked politely.

"407? That apartment has been vacant for almost two years. Are you looking for someone? Or are you renting a place?"

The administrator glanced at him, folded the newspaper, and put it on the table.

"Could I borrow your key for a moment?"

Instead of answering directly, Amamiya Rin asked for the key very bluntly.

"Remember to return it to me when you leave."

The administrator's eyes glazed over for a moment before returning to calm. He took a key from the keypad on the wall behind him and handed it over through the window.

"Thanks."

Amamiya Rin took the key and thanked the administrator.

The administrator sat back down, picked up the newspaper again, and began reading it casually.

"Your style of doing things is becoming more and more flexible."

Tomie, who was standing next to him, joked.

"As long as it doesn't cause harm or loss to others, there's no harm in being flexible."

Amamiya Rin calmly answered, and with Tomie's help, walked up the narrow, dimly lit stairs.

On the fourth floor, at the end of the corridor, as soon as I pushed open the door, a cold, gloomy atmosphere that had been sealed for many years rushed out.

The room was small and dark, the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, and fine cobwebs were growing in the corners. The wind blew in through the cracks in the old window, and the cobwebs swayed gently, as if they were breathing.

Amamiya Rin stood in the entryway, her gaze sweeping across the interior, lingering for a moment on the cobwebs in the corner.

"spider……"

He remembered what Yuji Hirano had mentioned before.

After summoning the Dream God, a spider appeared, crawled into the body, and ate all the internal organs.

Is that spider web a normal spider web, or is it related to the existence of that so-called dream god, who is actually the sleep demon?

Amamiya Rin examined it carefully, but no matter how closely he observed, he couldn't reach a conclusion.

Tomie took out the ritual supplies needed for tonight from her backpack: candles, salt, mirror, thread... and arranged the venue indoors according to the ritual instructions given by Hirano Yuji.

"I'm telling you, are you really going to do this?"

After the arrangements were completed, Tomie couldn't help but ask Amamiya Rin a question.

She couldn't help but ask more questions; the ritual that Hirano Yuji had described was just too disgusting.

What does it mean to summon a spider, let it crawl inside your body, and eat all your internal organs?

"It's no big deal."

What Tomie finds disgusting, Amamiya Rin doesn't find so bad.

The saying goes, "All things are empty," and although he can't yet let go of everything, eating a live spider is nothing special for him.

"Whether it works or not, we should give it a try. There won't be any irreversible side effects anyway."

Amamiya Rin said calmly.

In terms of mental cultivation, his century of practice was no joke. Even if that demon wanted to change his perception, it wouldn't be so easy.

Just like the swordsman Tomie who was corrupted by the Resurrection Sword, when necessary, if hundreds of Tomies work together, even a demon cannot change his heart.

Physically, Tomie Kawakami's immortality is already terrifying, not to mention that she obtained the Resurrection Sword today.

With the Resurrection Sword, even those suffering from wounds that are difficult to heal can be brought back to life through the infusion of life force.

"So, no problem."

Amamiya Rin walked to the center of the ceremony venue, nodded to Tomie, and said calmly.
