Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

As soon as Amamiya Rin finished speaking, Kazekai and Kogure's expressions changed completely.

They clearly hadn't considered this aspect, and only after Yu Gonglin pointed it out did they realize the seriousness of the problem far exceeded their imagination. This wasn't just a supernatural event, but a political crisis that could potentially shake social order.

Inudou glanced at Amamiya Rin sitting to the side with his squinting eyes and nodded slightly.

"Looks like you're a bit quicker on the uptake than my two subordinates. That's right, that's the most disgusting part. Tomie is completely defenseless; killing her is no harder than killing a pig. Yet, her regenerative abilities are too strong, and she also has the power to seduce men. So, the default approach from above is to do nothing—or at least not openly. Record, observe, control the scope of knowledge, and occasionally clean up the mess from their internal strife to minimize the impact."

Inudou's face was mocking as he spoke bluntly, not bothering to avoid talking about Amamiya Rin, an ordinary citizen.

Kaze and Kogure's expressions became very complicated. Based on their upbringing, it was difficult for them to accept this indifference towards crime.

"Take it easy. There are more than just this one unsolved case in the archives. There are probably a hundred. Some cases we can handle, and some we can't. It's for everyone's good."

Inudou shrugged, turned around, and swayed toward the hospital exit.

"Please wait a moment, Officer Inudo, I have something I'd like to ask you."

Amamiya Rin hurriedly stood up, leaning on her cane, and called out to Inudou.

Inudou turned to the side, his narrow eyes looking at Amamiya Rin, and asked casually, "Is there something you need, little one?"

Amamiya Rin asked directly, "I would like to ask you, how do I deal with Tomie?"

One of the laws of anime is that all squinty-eyed people are monsters.

This policewoman named Inudou never opened her eyes from beginning to end; she's definitely a master.

"Killing her is simple. After you're done, just throw her in the fire and burn her to ashes. If you get caught, contact the police history compilation office, and we'll get you out."

Inudou spoke with a strange Osaka accent, saying things like murder and arson that a police officer should never say, as if he were joking.

Amamiya Rin looked speechless and hurriedly said, "That's not what I'm asking. Tomie is already keeping an eye on me, and I can't stop thinking about her. What should I do?"

Is that true?

Inudou turned around and looked at Amamiya Rin with surprise.

"Do you have a girl you really like? Or what religion do you follow? What are your lofty aspirations and ambitions?"

When faced with Inudou's question, Amamiya Rin shook her head repeatedly.

In his past life, he was a single man. The elders in his family believed in Buddhism and worshipped Guanyin. He would also chant a few words of Amitabha Buddha, but he had no ambition.

In this life... because he has been reborn, he believes in the existence of gods and Buddhas even more than in his previous life. However, this world is too absurd, making it hard for him to believe that he was able to be reincarnated because of the protection of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I have no lover or ambitions; my biggest goal right now is to survive for three months.

"That's strange. People who can resist Tomie's charm and remain rational in the first few days of contact are usually the ones I just mentioned. However, even those people eventually become obsessed without realizing it."

Inudou stroked his chin, scrutinizing Amamiya Rin with his narrowed eyes.

"It's probably because I studied kendo, hypnosis, and recited Buddhist scriptures to block out distracting thoughts. I studied hypnosis with Professor Matsuura."

Amamiya Rin tried to mention Professor Matsuura's name; Professor Matsuura was a forensic pathologist, and these police officers should know him.

"So you're Professor Matsuura's student?"

Kaze, Kogure, and Inudou all acted as if they knew Professor Matsuura.

"Let's get back to the point. I can't help you deal with Tomie's magic. If you can use swordsmanship, hypnosis, and Buddhism to resist Tomie's magic, then keep going. If you really want help... I recommend that you study the 'Zen Secret Essentials Sutra'."

Inudou scratched his cheek with his index finger, his expression becoming more serious, and offered Amamiya Rin some helpful advice.

"The Secret Essentials of Zen"?

"The *Zen Secret Essentials Sutra* is a Buddhist meditation practice that specifically explains how to break through attachment to self and others through the contemplation of the white bones. You can buy it at Dongyangtang Bookstore. There's a Ghost Cry Temple on Ghost Cry Mountain in the southern suburbs, where there's an old monk. After buying the sutra, you can go and consult him. Anyway, his small temple doesn't have many worshippers on weekdays, so it'll be good for you to add some life to it."

"Ghost Crying Mountain? Ghost Crying Temple?"

Yu Gonglin's heart stirred. This name sounded extraordinary. A religious place approved by the head of a special department must not be an ordinary small place.

Although Junji Itō's series is a horror manga with no solutions, it is not lacking in superpowered beings and magicians. If the abbot of Onikiri Temple really had magic power, with his "Long Dream" curse, he could quickly master any method.

Even if he didn't have magical powers, he was at least a high-ranking monk who could guide him in learning the White Bone Contemplation.

That being said, whether it's supernatural power or powerful physical strength, there are quick ways to achieve it in Junji Itō's world. What exactly are they again?

Amamiya Rin frowned, deep in thought.

"I'm going to fight pachinko, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Inudou waved casually and sauntered away.

Kaze and Kogure exchanged a glance, nodded to Amamiya Rin, left him a business card, and then withdrew, handing over the hospital case to the First Investigation Division.

As for Amamiya Rin himself, he did not stay at Morita Hospital for long.

Because of the chaos and fire caused by Tomie and others, patients at Morita Hospital had to be transferred to other hospitals, including Amamiya Rin.

However, Amamiya Rin did not immediately go to another hospital. Given his physical condition, if he went to the hospital, he wouldn't be able to leave without a week of rest.

Taking advantage of the chaos during the transfer, Amamiya Rin quietly left the scene, leaning on his cane.

The urgent task is not to continue hospitalization and recuperation, but to address the mental pollution in Fujiang.

He first took the tram to the Dongyang Hall Bookstore in the city center, which specializes in Buddhist books, and bought the "Zen Secret Essentials Sutra" that Inudou had mentioned.

The scripture consisted of three volumes, written in Chinese, but it appeared difficult to understand. Yu Gonglin carefully read through it, but only partially understood it.

"As expected, guidance from a virtuous monk is still necessary."

After putting away the three volumes of the "Secret Essentials of Zen Teachings," Amamiya Rin checked the route and headed to Onikuyama on the outskirts of the city.

The mountain road was more difficult to walk than he had imagined, and it was even more torturous for him, who had been bedridden for nearly half a month and had only been awake for less than two weeks.

His cane touched the rugged stone steps, and he had to be careful with every step. Sweat quickly soaked his back, and his breathing became heavy.

However, compared to the physical torture, what Amamiya Rin found even more unbearable was the mental torture.
