Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Chapter 95 Asahara Shoko and the Kokaku Stone Statue

Ishikawa Genji twisted the man who tried to approach her with a backhand. Dozens of corpses were piled up at her feet. All of this started a dozen minutes earlier. Not long after Kiyokawa Kiri and the others left, the entire venue fell into chaos.

There were already drugs in the air that could induce euphoria, and the guru who took the stage was very good at manipulating people's minds.

In just a few words, the entire venue descended into a frenzied feast. Of course, Ichishikawa Fuchi could not join such a "party," so he simply stood up and took off his hat and mask.

But this group of people seems to have gone mad...

Even though Ishikawa's appearance was not human, they still felt they could bring themselves to eat him.

As a last resort, Ishikawa was temporarily kept inside the venue.

Meanwhile, Rena Tottori's situation wasn't much better.

Half-bodied undead are considered among the most powerful ghost stories, their strength is no less than that of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and they can be said to be the trump card of the Aum Shinrikyo. Even though the priestess has many methods, facing the half-bodied undead, whose supernatural rules are extremely limited and who has not even enough information, Tottori Rena could only barely escape.

Given all these circumstances, the situation now seems to have reached its most unfavorable point for Kiyokawa Kiri and the others.

"Shoko Asahara has not yet appeared..."

'

Inside the villa, Ishikawa Souichi was pushing his abilities to the limit, trying to see as many details as possible.

However, he could only barely see what was happening around Ishikawa Fumi and Tottori Rena, but he couldn't see Kiyokawa Kiri's whereabouts at all, as if she had completely disappeared from this world. This change even made Ishikawa Souichi question his life.

He stopped chewing nails, his whole body covered in sweat, and desperately relayed the battle situation within Aum Shinrikyo.

"Haven't you found Kiyokawa Kiri yet?"

Tomie Kawakami had been feeling restless since earlier.

She held the black cat, hesitating whether to let it out—but Kiyokawa Kiri had said that this black cat was the last resort, and it was best not to use it unless absolutely necessary. Now she was afraid that Asahara Shoko would find out about the black cat's existence. If they had taken precautions in advance, even if the impact rate was less than 10%, it would be enough to be fatal.

"Can't find..."

'

Ishikawa Souichi scratched his hair in a rather agitated manner.

This feeling was unprecedented. He knew that as long as he controlled the medium, he could know the whereabouts of the other party even if they fell into a supernatural place like Kisaragi Station. However, Kiyokawa Kiri was the only exception.

It is now confirmed that Kiyokawa Kiri is in a very bad situation.

The haunted place where the other party is located is probably much more eerie than Kisaragi Station.

"We can't delay any longer..."

Upon hearing this, Kawakami Tomie took a deep breath and still raised the black cat in her hand.

Xiao Hei's eyes were also black, and it looked completely still. This cat had hardly reacted from the very beginning; it was more like a dead cat than a living one, but this was precisely what made the black cat so strange.

Kawakami Tomie disregarded Kiyokawa Kiri's parting words and put Asahara Shoko aside for the time being; if her boyfriend were gone, he would truly be gone.

I don't know if you can understand what I mean...

'

Kawakami Tomie stared at the black cat and said, word by word, "But the situation is different now. Kiyokawa Kiri should have told you before that the target is a person named Asahara Shoko. Now I hope you can go in and find Kiyokawa Kiri first."

'

'

Xiao Hei didn't even acknowledge her.

Seeing the other party's indifferent attitude, Kawakami Tomie's face turned a little ashen, but she still threw the black cat outside the villa. After landing, the black cat first glanced at her with a gloomy look.

This look is very human; it seems to indicate that he has a lot of opinions or dissatisfaction with Kawakami Tomie.

Tomie Kawakami pointed to the Shambhala Private Academy in the distance, and only then did it reluctantly turn its head and trot off into the distance.

That's all she can do. After all, her abilities can only be fully utilized on-site, but if she's not careful, she might create different versions of herself, which would only make the situation uncontrollable. Cooperating with Ishikawa Souichi is also an important task.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Ishikawa Souichi was forced to start the next phase of the plan.

He immediately pulled out a large number of rudimentary paranormal props—they were rudimentary because they were just ordinary items: dolls, nails, a hammer, a lighter, scissors...

He wrote Shoko Asahara's name on a piece of paper and then inserted it into the doll's body through the zipper on the back.

This stems from another of his abilities, curses...

There are many ways for Soichi Ishii to unleash a curse, but he used this one because he didn't have any of Shoko Asahara's hair or blood.

Without a medium, the only way to deal with the curse is to stuff the name into a doll that resembles a substitute. However, this method only causes very limited damage. It is estimated that it can only harm Shoko Asahara for a short period of time, but the curse will be ineffective once the opponent recovers.

In other words, the opportunity only comes once or twice, insignificantly.

Logically, it would be best to save those one or two opportunities to stun Shoko Asahara until the opponent appears, and then let Kuro enter the fray at the end to completely eliminate the opponent...

However, plans clearly couldn't keep up with changes, and with the rhythm disrupted layer by layer, all that could be hoped for was Kiyokawa Kiri's own abilities.

At the same time, in the back room.

After more than ten minutes of adaptation and evolution, Kiyokawa Kiri's physical attributes underwent a dramatic transformation.

Looking at the man before him, soaked in blood, Shinji Tomomitsu swallowed hard and exclaimed, "What kind of monster are you? Even immortality couldn't allow you to do this! What are you?!"

"Finally realized it...?"

'

Kiyokawa Kiri casually brushed back the strands of hair Cha had pulled down, and looked at the other person expressionlessly.

Aum Shinrikyo likely has other plans in store.

Although their plans were indeed disrupted, fortunately, their secret of being a mermaid was not exposed.

This crucial intelligence indirectly led to the current situation.

So, the two sides are evenly matched so far. If they knew I was a mermaid and immediately unleashed a move capable of instantly killing me, I'd probably be on the resurrection cast right now, and who knows how many years would have passed by the time it finished...

Fortunately, Aum Shinrikyo is not that powerful yet.

No, rather than saying that the other party isn't strong enough, it's more accurate to say that I'm just too strong right now.

[It's passable, about 30% of my previous level. It's just a pity that your spirituality hasn't started to evolve. Currently, only your physical body has evolved. If your spirituality can't evolve, you can't use other spells. But you don't know these things to begin with.]

This adaptation and evolution is happening much faster than last time.

[It's probably because you've been fighting ghost stories more and more lately, and your experience is accumulating, which is why your adaptation and evolution speed has increased significantly. If you do this a few more times, you'll only need a dozen seconds to adapt to your current form...]

.

The faint, wistful tone of Omi Kin reminded Kiyokawa Kiri in his mind.

Even without her saying it, the latter could sense the changes in her body—the feeling these changes brought was simply wonderful.

The colors of the world seem to have been renewed once again.

Kiyokawa Kiri could even clearly see every single pimple on Shinmi Tomomitsu's face, and could even hear the breathing and heartbeats of everyone around him. Of course, he also heard... that incredibly even breathing coming from the room right behind Shinmi Tomomitsu.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll kill Shinji Tomomitsu."

"6

'

All around was quiet. Overwhelmed by fear, Shinji Tomomitsu had already collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state.

His pants gradually turned dark brown, and a strong smell of urine filled the air, making people feel nauseous.

Kiyokawa Kiri frowned. Seeing that the other party still didn't come out, he calmly picked up a short katana at his feet, intending to kill Shinji Tomomi directly.

Only then did the people inside react.

Snap snap snap—

A round of applause rang out, and then the door to the room slowly opened.

A disheveled-looking man emerged from the room, wearing a long robe with pale gold patterns. His gaze toward Kiyokawa Mist was full of admiration, but he exuded a foul stench, an ominous smell.

"Qingchuan Wu, Qingchuan-san, Qingchuan-kun...

'

"You know what? I actually respect you, admire you, and revere you, because you are one of the few people who truly embody the concept of 'divine humanity.' Compared to good-for-nothings like Shinji Tomomitsu, I value you, cherish you, and regard you highly."

The other person clapped their hands and looked at Kiyokawa Kiri, who was standing in front of them, with a smile.

His way of speaking was strange, and his tone was off, making people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts, as if he was wantonly provoking their nerves with a small knife.

Kiyokawa Kiri's eyes twitched slightly as she gradually felt the terrifying spiritual pressure approaching. Bloody Mary looked at the other party with even more fear, not daring to make a move easily. She felt a long-lost sense of threat from this human. Could this be something a human could do?

"Asahara, Shoko...

Kiyokawa Kiri slowly uttered the other person's name.

The opponent appeared faster than I expected. I originally thought I would have to overcome many obstacles to get so many helpers.

However, upon further reflection, the other side had already separated them and others, and in order to hold back the other two, they must have sent many powerful ghost stories. Moreover, the strength they had shown was not something that ordinary ghost stories could defeat. It seemed perfectly reasonable for Asahara Shoko to appear.

But the question is, have I evolved to the point where I can rival Shoko Asahara?

This guy is acting very strangely, extremely strangely.

He is still human, no... he is no longer human, but he is not a ghost story either; he is like an aggregate of some kind of incongruous and counterintuitive elements.

Omi's voice gradually became serious.

Kiyokawa Kiri's spirituality all came from her, so she could more directly feel the inexplicable sense of oppression emanating from Asahara Shoko.

Having lived for thousands of years, this was the first time Omi had encountered such a strange fellow. It's not that Shoko Asahara was particularly strong, but rather that it was illogical, like wolves eating grass, rainwater flowing backwards towards the sky, and the Earth no longer being an oblate spheroid, but an infinitely expanding flat world.

Yes, the other person created this kind of illusion for her on a spiritual level.

An assembly of incongruities that completely defies intuition.

For a moment, Kiyokawa Kiri also fell silent. Although Omi Kin didn't answer his question, he still understood that Asahara Shoko's current strength was probably still far beyond his own. Damn it, how did the other party manage to do that? "It's very simple, it's because of this."

Shoko Asahara seems to possess the ability to read minds.

He simply pulled a stone statue from his pocket, and when Kiyokawa Kirito saw the statue clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The stone statue originally seemed to be a very rough stone statue blank, but perhaps because it was played with by Shoko Asahara too many times, the stone statue, which was originally so rough that it had no appearance at all, has now been forcibly carved out to have a woman's face.

Even though Kiyokawa Kiri hadn't actually seen the woman's face, he could still vaguely discern a resemblance to Sadako Yamamura based on her features... This stone statue was actually the legendary En no Ozuno statue?!

"As expected, you know about this stone statue."

Shoko Asahara does indeed possess the ability to read minds, although he cannot see through Kiyokawa Kiri's mind to the presence of Omi Kin.

But he could understand what Kiyokawa Kiri was thinking.

Things have developed to this point, and it seems there's no intention to hide it any longer.

Shoko Asahara introduced with great interest: "En no Ozuno's full name is Kamo En no Ozuno. He was a sorcerer from the Asuka period to the Nara period. He is said to be the ancestor of Kamo Tadayuki, the teacher of Abe no Seimei. He was revered as En no Gyōja by the people at that time. Some later generations also said that he was the first deity in Japanese history."

"It was by chance that Shizuko Yamamura acquired this small stone statue."

"Because Shizuko Yamamura possesses a unique innate spirituality, she unintentionally activated this stone statue, thereby gaining what she perceives as superpowers..." This information took me a great deal of effort to obtain.

Several years ago, after realizing the existence of paranormal tales in the world, the Aum Shinrikyo cult began to collect related content extensively.

Initially, Aum Shinrikyo could only collect scrap metal and the most ordinary ghost stories.

At that time, their target wasn't even someone like Tomie Kawakami.

Until, by chance, Shoko Asahara discovered that Shizuko Yamamura had used her supernatural abilities to perform more than a decade ago...

Because people at the time deeply believed in superpowers, there was a lot of related content.

Shoko Asahara was thus drawn inside.

After some investigation, he discovered that although Yamamura Shizuko was dead, she still had a husband.

So Shoko Asahara used a little trick to get the relevant notes, and even this statue of Okunozu, from the sickly husband of Shizuko Yamamura.

It was from this point onward that Shoko Asahara entered the world of supernatural tales.

As a result, Aum Shinrikyo also experienced rapid growth.

Even the birth of Ishii Fuchi was actually due to Shoko Asahara conducting inhumane experiments on the statue of Ozuno to test what other abilities it might possess. It can be said that the root of everything lies with this statue.
