Only I Follow the Law: An Unorthodox Tokyo Cultivation Routine

In the deserted alley, Han Chuanyou opened his eyes. The light on the magic jade slip gradually faded, and he had completely memorized the incantation of the Earth Escape Technique in his mind.

Earth Escape Technique, as the name suggests, allows a person to move by burrowing into the soil or rocks, with the speed varying depending on the amount of spiritual energy output.

He chanted the incantation in his mind, and spiritual power enveloped his entire body. The ground beneath his feet seemed to turn into a mud pit, and his body sank in silently.

Looking around, I was struck by a magical sight: my body seemed to have become one with the earth.

The rocks and soil appeared as translucent outlines to him, as if seen through a thin veil, yet he could still clearly see the lights on the ground, the foundations of buildings, and the crisscrossing pipes beneath the road.

He activated his spiritual power, intending to test how much spiritual power the Earth Escape Technique consumed.

His body began to move continuously underground, a perspective that felt particularly novel to him.

All I can say is that it's a great skill for peeping under girls' skirts.

He sped through the underground, and finally, a skyscraper appeared in front of him. He rushed straight towards it, following the foundation piles all the way up.

Concrete is also soil, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Finally, he appeared at the top of the building, the evening breeze ruffling his clothes, and the Tokyo night unfolding beneath his feet.

The city's neon lights and the flashing police lights in the distance intertwined to form a flowing sea of ​​light, and the sound of sirens reached his ears on the wind.

Wow, what a vibrant scene of life, with everything thriving!

He sighed for a moment, then casually sat down on the edge, his legs dangling in the air.

He has already reached a conclusion.

The spiritual energy consumed is still quite large for his current cultivation level. At a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour, he can maintain a high speed while conserving the most spiritual energy.

Converted to spirit stones, it would take about twenty low-grade spirit stones per hundred kilometers.

A low-grade spirit stone can cover five kilometers; it's affordable for traveling.

Hankawa Yu clapped his hands.

Another fruitful day. There should be no shortage of cultivation resources for the Qi Refining Realm for the time being. It's time to stir things up more often.

His figure disappeared into the building, disappearing towards his home.

He was glad he had acquired the ability to teleport; otherwise, it would have been difficult to hail a taxi at three in the morning, and he might have had to walk back.

……

In the early hours of the morning, the Shinjuku Police Station was receiving calls almost non-stop, with all patrol officers working tirelessly and even police officers from other areas being called in to assist.

There were a total of eight bloody incidents.

Many of the police officers who entered the crime scene felt nauseous and vomited because of the bloody scene inside.

Tanaka Tsukasa was still asleep when he was suddenly woken up by the ringing of the phone.

He listened to what was said and remained silent for a long time.

Death has reappeared, killing 89 people, all of whom are members of the Matsukawa-kai, almost a targeted elimination.

"Since you're here, is there another case?"

His wife was awakened by the noise of him getting dressed.

"Okay, you can keep sleeping. I have to go to the scene." Tanaka Tsukasa lowered his head and kissed the woman's forehead. "You don't need to prepare my lunch in the morning."

"Okay, be careful on the road." The woman was already used to it. "The kids and I are waiting for you at home."

Police cars were parked in front of the villa, which was indeed the villa of Matsuzaka Ichiryu.

The lights inside were still on, and the environment was quiet and serene, as if nothing had happened. Only the bright yellow warning tape at the entrance indicated that something was definitely not simple inside.

As soon as the travel-worn Tanaka Tsukasa got out of the police car, he was surrounded by a group of media reporters who had heard the news and rushed over, hoping to be the first to get the scoop.

"Officer, this is the Mainichi Shimbun. Could you please tell me the details of tonight's case? So many bloody incidents happened in one night, what explanation does the Metropolitan Police Department have?"

Tanaka Tsukasa took the microphone: "I cannot disclose details of the case at this time. Please do not obstruct the police investigation. For further information, please wait for subsequent police announcements."

After saying that, he ignored the reporters' questions, walked straight through the crowd, bent down and crawled into the police cordon.

A young police officer quickly stepped forward: "Inspector Tanaka, thank you for your assistance."

Tanaka Tsukasa waved his hand: "Tell me about the situation."

"Yes."

The police officer opened his notebook and reported as he walked.

"At the eight crime scenes where the bloodshed occurred, all the victims were mid- to high-ranking members of the Matsukawa-kai. The Matsukawa-kai's top leader, Matsuzaka Ichiryu, has also been confirmed dead. Would you like to visit the crime scenes?"

"Um."

Tanaka Tsukasa nodded and followed the police officers to the scene. Looking at the body lying on the roadside, his brows furrowed more and more.

He looked up, noticed the surveillance cameras, and asked:

What did the surveillance footage reveal?

"The surveillance footage from other crime scenes is still being reviewed. The surveillance footage from the villa has been checked, and there are no signs of unauthorized intrusion. Matsuzaka Ichiryu died mysteriously in the master bedroom, which is a typical locked-room murder. As for those people outside..."

The officer's expression became somewhat subtle.

"It felt like I was attacked by someone I couldn't see. I didn't see a single person. It really felt like some kind of ghost or spirit..."

"..."

Tanaka Tsukasa remained silent for a moment.

impossible.

So-called ghost and spirit rumors are completely unbelievable.

He had read many case files from all over the world, many of which contained bizarre cases, including so-called supernatural beings descending to earth. But without exception, the investigations eventually revealed that they were all man-made.

He himself had even been involved in related cases, and naturally, it turned out that someone was playing tricks.

This case will certainly be no exception.

However, the scene captured on the surveillance footage...

To create this situation, the only option is to utilize so-called high technology.

They might be carrying some kind of device that interferes with surveillance, thus achieving the goal of disappearing from the surveillance footage.

Tanaka Tsukasa even felt that the deaths of so many people in one night were not the work of a single person as previously believed, but rather the result of a well-organized group working together.

Some were responsible for technical support, some for infiltration and assassination, some for cleaning up traces, and some for overall command...

When investigating a case, one must make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

Eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains, however bizarre, is the truth.

Therefore, there must be a well-organized and mysterious group behind last night's series of bloody incidents.

But the question is... what kind of organization could do something like this? And who's behind it all?

Tanaka Tsukasa found the situation increasingly difficult.

He worried that if he continued investigating, he might stumble upon some powerful organization, and in the end, he shot himself in the back of the head and committed suicide.

Composing himself, he approached the forensic team and asked, "Have you found anything?"

"The scene was messy, and the amount of physical evidence that needs to be collected was too large. I suggest that Inspector Nakamura be prepared for the possibility that there may be no effective leads at the moment."

Tanaka Tsukasa sighed: "I know, you should gather as many clues as possible."

……

As the night passed, despite the police's best efforts to suppress the news and prevent the outside world from knowing, the scale of last night's bloodshed was simply too large, and it was eventually exposed by the media.

Once the news was disclosed, it spread like wildfire, and even intensified, clearly indicating that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

The devastating news of the 89 deaths instantly swept the nation, not only shocking the entire population but also becoming a powerful weapon for the opposition party to launch a fierce attack on the ruling party, criticizing them for their loss of control over public order, inadequate response, and incompetent governance during their tenure…

The political arena was thrown into chaos, with various factions seizing the opportunity to launch attacks.

Those politicians no longer even focus on the case itself, but are busy vying for the right to speak, shirking responsibility, and taking the opportunity to gain political capital.

The Metropolitan Police Department was naturally swept up in the media storm and put in the spotlight, preparing for a press conference overnight.

A group of high-ranking officials bowed and apologized in front of numerous media outlets, promising to conduct a thorough investigation and give the public an explanation as soon as possible, demonstrating their utmost dedication.

Whether the case can actually be solved is another matter entirely.
