Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Chapter 91 Secret Infiltration of Aum Shinrikyo (Part 2)

Two days later, at a private villa on the outskirts of Tokyo.

The small group of servants, paid for by Miss Tomie, officially gathered together. However, looking at the group in front of her, she frowned slightly and whispered, "Didn't you find Sadako Yamamura?"

"No...

,

Kiyokawa Kiri was holding a black cat, which he had gotten from Kayako Kawamata. This cat, named Kuro, looked harmless and even a little silly, but only Kiyokawa Kiri knew just how terrifying it was as a part of "Ju-on".

Getting it from Kayako wouldn't be difficult.

After all, the Kawamata family doesn't allow Kayako to keep pets, so this little black cat is actually a stray cat. It just occasionally comes to Kayako's place to freeload and likes her a lot... Kiyokawa Kiri just said that he wanted to take the little black cat out to play for a while, and Kayako didn't ask any questions before finding the little black cat and handing it over to him.

Despite having a third of the "Ju-on" here, Kiyokawa Kiri still felt uncertain.

His plan included Sadako Yamamura, but she had disappeared without a trace.

"I went to the mountain village's house, but I didn't see her there."

"I asked other female classmates who might know her, but none of them knew where she would go after the holiday."

Kiyokawa Kiri was helpless because Yamamura Sadako didn't have a flip phone, only a landline, and no one would answer the landline.

He had already guessed where Sadako Yamamura had gone. It was Golden Week, and she was likely at a nursing home taking care of her father who had tuberculosis. Finding her would be too troublesome, as no one knew exactly where the nursing home was.

Fortunately, thanks to Tomie Kawakami's financial power, there are other strange tales here.

A woman dressed in androgynous clothing, with neat short hair, holding a half-empty can of beer, said with interest, "So, it's just the few of us left?"

The woman who loves drinking beer is named Tottori Rena. She is said to come from a Shinto family with a proper shrine. Although she is an ordinary person, she is proficient in various methods of dealing with ghost stories. She may not be good at direct combat, but she has many other tricks up her sleeve and is someone who can be a good partner.

Sitting opposite her was Ishii Gen, who was wearing a mask and a hat.

The woman was taller than I had imagined; even sitting on the sofa, she was a head taller than everyone else.

Even Kiyokawa Kiri had to tilt her head slightly to talk to her. And when she sat next to Ishii Souichi, who was barely half her height, it was a classic case of a small horse pulling a large cart.

This woman was originally a normal human being, but I don't know what she ate that made her look like this.

[It's not clear what special abilities she has yet, but her eyes are red... She's eaten people, and a lot of them.]

Omi subtly reminded Kiyokawa Kiri in her mind.

In all ghost stories, especially those involving cannibalism, the eyes are always red.

This actually fits the setting of most ghost stories. For example, many Western vampires have blood-red eyes, and in the various man-eating anime works that Kiyokawa Kiri knew in her previous life, the man-eating ghosts all had red eyes without exception.

Even in real history, there is a saying that eating people will make your eyes turn red.

When Omi became a mermaid, her eyes were also red. However, she thought red was unattractive, so she forcibly removed her eyeballs. When they grew back, they were the normal color—red. She removed them again. This girl is simply too willful.

Looking at Ishii Fukushi, who could devour people without restraint, Omi Chika felt a little envious.

But Kiyokawa Kiri wouldn't let her do whatever she wanted. He immediately said in a deep voice, "There are only a few of us left. But those gathered here are all people who know a lot about ghost stories. Although Aum Shinrikyo also has a lot of ghost stories, they should only be concentrated in the hands of the higher-ups. Asahara Shoko would never hand over ghost stories to the middle-level people."

"Although we are outnumbered, as long as we can buy myself enough time, I can deal with Shoko Asahara."

Kiyokawa was very cautious; he knew where his greatest advantage lay.

Mermaids need time to adapt, but once they adapt, they can evolve indefinitely.

According to Omi Chika's assessment, no matter how strong Asahara Shoko is, he only needs two hours to adapt before he can barely recover to 70% of Omi Chika's peak level—this guy is very arrogant, and even said that even if he only has 70% of his peak level, it will be enough for him to walk sideways in Japan.

Kiyokawa Kiri decided to believe this guy for the time being, after all, Omi Kin was indeed quite capable.

Even if Shoko Asahara is strong, he is just a religious leader. If he were really more powerful than Chika Omi at his peak, he would have overthrown the Japanese government long ago. Therefore, everyone's biggest task is to buy time for Kiyokawa Kiri.

Actually, even without delaying the process, you could start adapting off the field and then go find Shoko Asahara once you've adapted.

Unfortunately, the abilities involved in supernatural tales are incredibly diverse.

If one doesn't adapt specifically, no matter how powerful Kiyokawa Kiri is outside the arena, she can easily fall victim to his attacks.

This is all due to insufficient intelligence.

If you have enough intelligence, it will be much easier to target a certain kind of ghost story.

Of course, if someone knew in advance that Kiyokawa Mist was a mermaid and immediately used a power capable of leveling everything to blast him into ashes, then Kiyokawa Mist would basically be finished.

He can be resurrected from the ashes using the abilities of a mermaid.

But this will take a long time. Even Omi Kondo couldn't say for sure how long it would take. What if it took a hundred years?

What use would Kiyokawa Kirito be if he were to be resurrected by then?

Therefore, in order to be fully prepared, Kiyokawa Kiri decided to use the people in front of him to solve unnecessary troubles for himself as much as possible, and also to find out what other strange tales there were in the Aum Shinrikyo cult, and then use the mermaid's ability to deal with that group of lunatics.

We understand what you're saying.

'

Ishii Souichi chewed on a nail and said slowly, "But let's not even talk about how we can buy you some time."

"Even if we manage to hold off Shoko Asahara, how are you going to get rid of this trouble? As I said before, Shoko Asahara has already gained abilities far beyond mine and Yuan's, and there are other ghost stories involved. Our chances of winning are very low."

If it weren't for the money and personal grudges, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved.

This actually aligns with Ishii Soichi's rather timid personality; in the original work, he was portrayed as having a rather childlike character.

Now that he's about to wage war against religious fanatics, he's naturally a bit timid.

Kiyokawa Kiri understood his thoughts, but still insisted on his own opinion: "As long as you can help me buy some time, I am sure I can handle Asahara Shoko. The biggest problem is that I am worried that they will have other means, such as the ability to deprive people of their sight."

"It sounds like something a spirit could do," Rena Tottori chimed in.

This kind of "spirit" is actually somewhat similar to the "tsukumogami" in Japanese mythology and ghost stories, only their status is very different.

However, Rena Tottori does have a way to counter such an ability.

"These kinds of spirits usually follow some kind of rule-based supernatural tales. But they may not be rule-based supernatural tales; they may simply be pulled into some kind of darkness. The solution is simple: as long as you can create a source of light, you can dispel the darkness," she added.

As expected, everyone has their own expertise; Kiyokawa Kirito never imagined that the other party could come up with a solution.

Although he wasn't sure if it would be successful, he still silently wrote down this key point.

At this moment, Ishii Gen, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke. Her voice was extremely hoarse and grating: "How can we get in... Their defenses are very tight. If we can't get in, the mission will become much more difficult."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Tomie Kawakami crossed her arms and said calmly, "I've already made all the arrangements. Someone will lead you in."

Money makes the world go round; she could even buy off ghost stories, let alone people.

Even within Aum Shinrikyo, not everyone is of one mind.

Anyone with a brain knows that these religious groups are actually just trying to make money, and there are bound to be corrupt officials in the middle ranks. Kawakami Tomie offered an unimaginable price, and one member of the management team readily agreed to do her a favor.

It's important to understand that even the Japanese government itself cannot prevent this kind of thing.

Not to mention organizations like Aum Shinrikyo...

Since Kawakami Tomie couldn't personally take charge, she arranged everything else, which actually helped Kiyokawa Kiri a lot.

Now, we have all the manpower, and we even have a way to infiltrate.

After hearing what Tomie Kawakami said, no one objected, and they nodded silently.

Kiyokawa Kiri, holding the black cat, fell into deep thought.

The loss of Sadako Yamamura is not a big problem, because Souichi Ishii also has the ability to predict the future, just not as powerful as Sadako Yamamura. However, this ability can only be used for short-term predictions, and their communication method is still through walkie-talkies, which is somewhat inconvenient.

Just to be on the safe side, Tomie Kawakami and Souichi Ishii will stay in this villa.

They are responsible for remotely monitoring the "Shambhala Private Buddhist Academy," while Kiyokawa Kiri, Tottori Rena, and Ms. Fuchi will infiltrate it.

As for Xiao Hei, there's even less to worry about.

This black cat is clever and can be used as backup; it will find a way to sneak in.

No matter how well Aum Shinrikyo prepared, they would never have imagined that an inconspicuous black cat would become one of the most terrifying ghost stories in Japan... Kiyokawa Kiri had high hopes for Kuro, after all, "Ju-on" was just too powerful, even if it was only a third of its power, it would be enough to sweep away the likes of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

"It seems the plan is almost complete; the target is Shoko Asahara..."

'

Rena Tottori finished her last beer, then shrugged and said, "If we really kill him, I'll take half of his secret stash of money, but you can keep his women."

What do we need women for?

Kiyokawa Kiri's eyes twitched slightly; she hadn't expected the other party to make such a request.

However, Tottori Rena had already hinted at it several times before, so he didn't have any objections. Anyway, he wasn't short of money, and with Kawakami Tomie around, it was basically impossible for him to be short of money. Asahara Shoko's bank account wasn't that tempting to him.

As for Ishii Soichi and Ms. Fuchi, they want the remaining half.

As for Xiao Hei, it didn't say anything, but Qingchuan Wu assumed that it would share the two dried fish, and that she would buy them for it later.

"In that case, let's get ready to go."

Kiyokawa took a deep breath and handed out mini walkie-talkies to everyone.

These are all new models that Kawakami Tomie brought back from abroad. They are relatively small and have a strong communication signal, making it convenient for them to contact each other—after all, the Aum Shinrikyo stronghold is really too big, and the contact person they bribed said he would help them sneak into the lecture today.

Everyone made all the necessary preparations just in case before heading out.

The villa was very close to the "Shambhala Private Buddhist Academy", and the contact person was already waiting nearby to take them inside.

The three of them made some simple alterations to their appearances, trying to make themselves look different from their original selves. Ms. Yiyuan didn't need any alterations; with her figure, everyone could recognize her. After they finished, they prepared to sneak into the lecture venue under the guidance of their contact.

"Today is the day the sect leader is making his inspection tour, and Master Zheng will be giving a lecture on site..."

The contact was a short man with shifty eyes. He led Qingchuan Wu and the other two through the heavily guarded gate as if nothing had happened, and then whispered, "The leader will come regularly to check the various incomes of the sect, that is, to check the accounts."

"He's no longer in charge of giving lectures; it's been handed over to other senior executives."

"You guys are really lucky. You've already been taught by the best master, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with your money. It's definitely worth every penny." He chuckled after saying that.

Rena Tottori's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if she had thought of something.

Kiyokawa Kirito, however, remained calm and said, "Is that so? Different masters have different teaching methods?"

"Of course, today's lecture by Master Zheng is arguably the most anticipated of all the gurus." The contact swallowed hard and revealed a lewd smile.

He was, after all, a mid-level member of Aum Shinrikyo.

I have a fairly good understanding of several different gurus and am clear about their respective preferences.

The so-called lectures are actually just to meet the "needs" of different senior executives.

After all, Aum Shinrikyo is not a normal organization at all. Do you really expect these people to attend classes properly?

Kiyokawa seemed to have guessed something, but was still a little unsure.

The three remained silent and followed behind the contact.

Soon, the other party led them into an extremely crowded and noisy venue. The three of them put aside their own thoughts and coldly watched the countless fanatical believers in the venue.

The venue was now packed with people, all sitting cross-legged on the floor, craning their necks to look at the middle-aged man on stage who was about to give a speech.

Kiyokawa Kiri looked around but didn't see Asahara Shoko, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
