Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

The "Master" stared at the statue fanatically and explained softly.

"Isn't this the same as becoming a monk? I still have a family, I probably can't do it."

Xia Fan smiled bitterly, moved his eyes away from the statue, and looked back and forth at the "Master".

All the way from the hospital to here, he has been trying to figure out the source of the faint foul smell on the other person, but he still can't confirm it.

"If you died of illness, I'm afraid your family would be even more sad, right?"

"Of course, this doesn't mean you have to completely abandon the people around you. You can also bring your family and friends to live with you in the 'Spiritual Home'. Not only can they stay away from sin and disease, but if you bring more than five family members, you can also upgrade from a 'believer' to a 'devotee'."

"You know, the dedicated ones are extraordinary people like me who can channel the power of the gods..."

Being stared at by Xia Fan’s gorgeous eyes with such a “burning” gaze, the “Master” felt as if every inch of his skin was burning.

"When you become a dedicated person, I can also become your family member... a close family member who will be with you day and night..."

"Oh, right, we're going to hold a 'purification' ceremony for this new believer to completely cure her disease..."

"Why not join us now and 'purify' together?"

She walked gracefully to Xia Fan and proposed urgently.

"Master, you are right. I originally had very serious lung cancer, but later I donated all my property to the 'House of the Soul' and became a follower of Master Amabie. After going through several 'purification ceremonies', I am now in very good health!"

A middle-aged Mediterranean man also cheerfully advised.

"Me too. After I came to the House of the Soul, Lord Amabie not only cured my terminal illness, but also showed mercy and agreed to let me bring my husband and daughter here."

"The original three family members have now become dozens of people, living happily together day and night..."

A little further away, a beautiful middle-aged woman surrounded by five strong young men was looking at Xia Fan with great excitement.

“Donating money… and pulling people in… isn’t this a religious pyramid scheme scam?”

Xia Fan asked back bluntly.

"How dare you question the Lord God Amabie? Didn't you also see the miracle just now?"

"We in the 'House of the Soul' believe in the true God Amabie who can heal all diseases. How can we compare ourselves with such a fake thing?"

Hearing the god being questioned, the "master's" face turned cold.

"Morning classes are over, and a new 'family' has just joined us. Let's hold a long-awaited collective purification ceremony!"

She unbuttoned her clothes excitedly, and the old shoulders of her white robe fell to the ground cunningly, revealing her surging curves.

"As you command, Master!"

This "master" seemed to have a very high status and the "believers" around him all responded and echoed him respectfully.

"Well, I think it's better to go back and think about it carefully..."

Feeling the atmosphere in the room getting more and more frenzied like boiling water, Xia Fan slowly retreated towards the door...

"Little brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let someone else perform the first purification ceremony for you..."

The women around him also took off their only white robes at some point.

"No, I was the first one to approach this handsome brother, so of course I should come first."

They were half-naked, and they hugged Xia Fan's arms, one on each side, as if they were fighting for some kind of "rights"...

"It's been a long time since we last had a collective purification ceremony. Of course, everyone must come together..."

"That's right, no one will be left out, what are you fighting about!"

The other dozen or so people couldn't wait to take off their white robes...

White waves surged in the house all of a sudden, making Xia Fan feel like he had accidentally entered a large open-air wild hot spring.

"Amabie..."

"Amabie... Amabie..."

With a sick smile on his face and reciting the strange name devoutly, the group of people all looked at Xia Fan, the only one in the room who was still wearing clothes...

That look seemed to say, "It's your turn."

"Sorry, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Xia Fan suddenly pulled his arms out of the arms of those women and quickly retreated to the entrance...

"The purification ritual has begun. The resistance in your mind right now is all caused by the sins and diseases in your body..."

A man, with only his face covered by a mask with holes, blocked the only door leading to the outside world with his hairy and burly body.

"Since you don't like what your sisters say, let me, your brother, purify you!"

Swinging the majestic elephant, the man opened his arms and pounced on Xia Fan!

"No, don't resist your destiny!"

"Accept Lord Amabie's arrangements."

In the house behind him, a crowd of people came towards him, persuading him gently...

"I said it all..."

Xia Fan's face was as gloomy as water. He nimbly stepped aside and dodged the man's attack by a hair's breadth...

Dragon Country Martial Arts: Qiankun Flash!

"I still have things to do!!!"

Then, he took the man's arm and pulled him towards the house...

Dragon Country Martial Arts: Transformation Hand!

The naked, lush and tall body of the uncovered man collided with the crowd of people behind him who could not bear to look directly at him.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Fan unlocked the door and rushed out...

Before he could even take a breath of fresh air, several men and women in white robes silently blocked his way.

Obviously, these people had been guarding the door since Xia Fan entered the house.

Behind him, the angry men and women chased after him without caring about their naked state...

In front of the hut, Xia Fan was once again surrounded by two men.

Chapter 195: Formal filing of the case

2024-07-13

"I told you, Lord Amabie, I will not abandon any of my 'family'!"

"Come back! Once you have experienced the despair and pain of a terminal illness, you will understand the greatness of God in saving all living beings!"

The "master" walking in front stretched out his hand to Xia Fan, and in his open palm was a small scale.

The scales were crushed by her fingertips, turning into crystal powder and blowing towards him with the wind.

"I see. Is this the source of the foul air?"

Xia Fan nimbly jumped sideways to avoid the handful of strange powder.

He clearly saw that there was a faint foul smell in the powder, so he naturally would not take it head-on.

"Ula uh uh la uh..."

At the same time, the sharp sound of sirens came from far away.

Several black commercial vehicles rushed into the alley almost sticking to the wall, and stopped outside the house with a sharp brake sound.

"This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Special Operations Section 9. We now suspect that you are involved in a supernatural case. Everyone at the scene, hold your heads and squat!"

Before these "cultists" could react, Inspector Higurashi and his detectives in black uniforms rushed out of the car and surrounded the old apartment building.

"Oh no, it's a fake government!"

"Family members, separate and leave!"

"With Lord Amabie's protection, they can't stop us!"

Regardless of their naked state, these believers crouched like deformed creatures, preparing to break out...

"This is my last warning. If anyone shows any signs of resistance, we will immediately take coercive measures!"

The next second, the agents drew their pistols without hesitation.

With the precedent of Masahiro Takenaka transforming into a giant, they will not ignore any suspect in a supernatural case.

"..."

Pointed at by the black muzzle of the gun, the believers present immediately stopped their movements...

Even the most burly man could only squat down with his head in his hands.

After all, when it comes to taking lives, bullets kill faster than disease.

"Put clothes on them and take them back for questioning!"

"Yes!"

The agents skillfully took out straitjackets, ball gags and handcuffs and began to "pack up and take away".

"We haven't broken any laws. We are just living the life we ​​want according to our own will! Even the Metropolitan Police Department can't detain us forever..."

"On the contrary, you will soon be punished by Lord Amabie. The disease in your body will accelerate and make you regret everything you did today..."

The "master" allowed the police to do what they wanted to him, his eyes fixed on Xia Fan.

"Don't worry, I have my own gods to protect me."

Xia Fan walked behind her and pried open her fingers...

"No... that was given to me by Lord Amabie... you can't take it away... No!!!"

The Master's expression suddenly became extremely panicked...

Her curvy body struggled madly and she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Leave her alone."

Inspector Higurashi waved his hand, and an agent took out an automatic syringe and injected it into the "Master's" neck, making her instantly calm down.

"What the hell is this?"

Xia Fan carefully picked up the pieces of "nail polish" that he had just peeled off from the other person's fingertips and looked at them carefully...

It was a tiny scale the size of a fingernail, and belonged to some unknown creature.

This "master" sticks these scales on his nails like a manicure and uses them whenever he wants.

……

Afternoon, Class 9 office.

"Report, a total of thirty-five members of the "House of the Soul" have been arrested..."

"According to the confessions of the 'believers', most of them met the woman called 'guru' when they were receiving treatment in the hospital, or were introduced by friends or family members and were taken to the spiritual home..."

"After joining the 'House of the Soul', believers must live in a collective environment and are not allowed to go out at will except for missionary activities."

"In addition to the daily morning and evening classes, there are also regular 'purification ceremonies' with an indefinite number of participants, which essentially involve multiple people having indiscriminate physical relations."

"Those who successfully 'preach' to three or more believers can be promoted to 'devotees' and have the opportunity to obtain extraordinary powers from the gods. It is said that there are multiple levels above them, such as 'guru' and 'bishop'."

In the conference room, Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi sat side by side, listening to the case reports from Higurashi and several detectives.

"The serious illnesses of these 'believers' were indeed cured in the 'House of the Soul' at first, but some of them later developed various diseases such as colds and diabetes."

"The guru will tell them that it is because they are not pious enough and have created new sins. If they worship the gods more devoutly, the disease will be cured."

"Those who joined and then left the 'House of the Soul' all died of serious illnesses not long after, causing the remaining believers to stay in that house with all their hearts."

Listening to the complicated case, everyone's expressions were very serious.

"In summary, given that the 'House of the Soul' is not registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and that it has the characteristics of recruiting people, gathering large numbers of people for activities, amassing money, having strict hierarchy, and continuous brainwashing, it is undoubtedly a 'cult'."

After quickly going over the case, Higurashi concluded with a complicated expression.

"The only difference from traditional cults is that the 'guru' does display a certain degree of 'supernatural power'."

"So, it is very difficult to make those believers recognize the reality through psychological treatment."
