You say this is a love game?

This series of words made Matsushita Kei nod in agreement subconsciously.

By the time the boy with glasses came to his senses, Makoto Mizutani had disappeared at the end of the street.

So fast.

Is this what "professional" means?

Only then did Matsushita Kai realize it and he even broke out in a cold sweat.

but……

Although he knew that Yoshida Akira was a vengeful spirit and had the intention of harming him, when he recalled the experience of the child calling him "brother", Matsushita Kei still sighed with some regret... He did not think that Mizutani Makoto did anything wrong. It was just his personal experience that made him feel particularly empathetic to Yoshida Akira's address at that time.

He hurriedly called Mizutani Makoto, but wasn't there a little bit of selfish motive that he was touched by Yoshida Akira?

But what Mizutani Makoto did was right.

Matsushita Kei knew very well that the so-called monsters that harm people's lives, vengeful spirits... such existences were just how terrifying monsters they were to ordinary people.

With mixed feelings.

Matsushita Kei returned to the apartment building.

"family……"

By the way, I should tell my parents about this tonight.

They have to go to work after all, and work can't change that, but it can also make them go out less during the rest of the time, right?

How to persuade?

Use the recent popular murder case?

But when Matsushita Kai pushed the door open, he found that his father had left work early and was sitting in the living room with his mother. The two were sitting around the dining table. When his mother saw Matsushita Kai enter the living room, she immediately stood up and waved to Matsushita Kai with excitement on her face.

"mom?"

"Qi, come here quickly!"

The housewife said excitedly:

"I, your father and I finally officially joined the guild today. We saw it over there. With the blessing of the Great Bodhisattva, we met You Yuezi!"

"That Bodhisattva is truly efficacious and possesses great magical powers! We can go together!"

Panasonic Qi stood there in a daze.

He looked at the flyer his mother was waving. On it were a series of slogans written in exceptionally bright red characters. They were nothing more than words like "Bodhisattva", "Efficacy", "Children", etc. But the most conspicuous words were the names arranged in a row - [Red Lotus Seed Guardian Association]

Having just experienced the incident with the vengeful spirit, Matsushita Kei was in a state of deep thought, sorrow and exhaustion. Suddenly, when he heard the name "Yutsukiko" from his mother's mouth, his eyes widened. Before he could even think, he blurted out, "Have you found Yutsukiko?"

"I found it, but to bring Yutsuki home, I must devote myself to worshipping the Great Bodhisattva."

"What great Bodhisattva?"

He was startled.

I just heard the mother say excitedly.

"Zi'an, the Great Bodhisattva of Compassionate Mother."

……

……

On the way back to the apartment, Mizutani Makoto's cell phone suddenly rang with a pleasant sound.

This wasn't a text message, but a phone call from a stranger.

stranger?

The boy frowned and glanced back—Yoshida Akira was still being controlled by Satori Yoshiko, being led towards his residence. The "mission" Yoshida Akira had brought was of paramount importance, and many other matters had to be put on hold.

However, the call should still be answered.

If it is a harassing call, it will only take a few seconds. The fear is that you will miss something important.

"Hello, who is this?"

Mizutani Seimichi.

There was a slight noise on the other end of the phone, followed by the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Hello, is this Mizutani? Makoto-kun?"

Hearing the voice coming from the other end of the phone, Mizutani Makoto was stunned.

It took several seconds before he smiled.

"Oh, it's Pastor Xishan."

Mizutani Makoto's smile lacked much warmth, which puzzled Satori Yoshiko, who had always understood her son's mentality. The little god of fortune approached, only to see Mizutani Makoto make a shushing gesture. When he looked up, the boy's smile had vanished, replaced by a cold expression.

"Reverend Xishan, I was previously bewitched by an evil spirit. I suspect it possessed me, which is why I offended you. But in recent years, through meditation, I have finally rediscovered the true meaning of our Happiness Relief Society..."

"It just so happens that I recently earned some money, a scholarship for a prestigious school, and I'm worried about where to donate it to the church. Pastor Xishan, could you tell me the address of our Happiness Relief Society...? Has it moved? When I went to see it before, it was completely empty."

Yoshiko Satori immediately understood something.

She covered her mouth and listened to Mizutani Makoto fishing.

Mizutani Makoto said, then suddenly frowned: "Will Honglianzi stay?"

On the other end of the line, the man named "Xishan" quickly tried to reassure her, "Yes, the previous venerable master had a new epiphany atop the snowy Himalayas, attaining the status of the great bodhisattva Zi'an Cimu. When she returned from her practice, our Happiness Relief Association was renamed the 'Red Lotus Seed Guardian Association.'"

"I'm downstairs from your house right now, and I'm here to lead you to the new church."

"Oh? You're downstairs in my apartment now? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"That's just perfect. I'm coming to kill you right now."

"beep--"

Downstairs in the apartment building, Yuuma Nishiyama looked at his phone in astonishment. When he reported his location, the boy on the other end of the phone actually hung up the call directly, as if he didn't want to give him the face to say one more word!

What the hell, what kind of enlightenment is this?

That undisguised murderous intent was actually spoken directly on the phone!

"Come to kill me?"

Whenever he thought of his previous experiences, Yuuma Nishiyama couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

He was originally a priest of the "Happy Relief Society".

Japan is a shabby place, and the problem of cults is as rampant as that of Old Han next door. Many people are making a lot of money in the name of religion, and speculators are everywhere. He is just one of the clear-headed ones. After the "Happiness Relief Society" gradually grew stronger, he found the right time to join it and began to preach for the Happiness Relief Society.

And Makoto Mizutani, who lost his entire family at the age of thirteen but inherited the considerable inheritance left by his sister, is the fattest sheep in his eyes.

What is benevolence, righteousness, and morality?

Would you tell this to someone who joins a cult or engages in pyramid schemes?

He didn't feel sorry for Makoto Mizutani at all, he just felt sorry for the money that Makoto Mizutani had - look at the lively Fukuzawa Yukichi, being held in the hands of such a little brat who knew nothing, wouldn't all his money be buried?

So, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity.

This is basically the way cults behave. They take advantage of others' broken families or life-threatening circumstances, when their spirits are shaky, and sneak in to become their spiritual pillars... This tactic is especially effective when targeting groups such as women, children, and the elderly.

Especially since that kid had a very obvious spiritual support back then, and that was his sister...

Under the pretext of being able to communicate with the dead, Nishiyama Yuuma successfully gained Mizutani Makoto's trust and was surprised to find that the little boy was quite delicate. He was more handsome than any man or woman he had played with before, and his melancholy temperament was simply beyond words.

Therefore, he was not only trying to cheat people of their money, but also trying to cheat people of their sex.

But the kid obviously had a different kind of dependence on his sister... He understood that, just like many single-parent families would be overly dependent on their elders, or overly dependent on their brothers and sisters, these were essentially problems that could be explained by psychology, and it was nothing more than a heavy dependence on family members.

But it is not easy to get the upper hand over a kid like this. You have to gain the kid's absolute trust... and this is precisely the most difficult part.

The kid's trust in him wasn't actually deep, it was more of a spiritual emptiness. He just needed someone to tell him that he still had a way to see his sister again, to maintain such a pathetic illusion.

Even though he had almost swindled all of the Mizutani family's savings, he was still a long way from getting Mizutani Makoto... He gradually couldn't hold back anymore and started to have some evil thoughts.

What he was thinking was, could he use some shady drugs to control this little ghost?

But just as he was thinking this, before he put it into action, he suddenly noticed that Mizutani Makoto's eyes changed.

Originally, that guy's eyes were always filled with melancholy, anxiety, and confusion, as if the entire world's rainstorm had poured down on him, and he was trapped in a rainstorm... But one day, it suddenly changed. The boy's eyes became strange, just like what he had seen...

Just like "smart people".

Those who are mentally sound and have no flaws will not be deceived by religion.

Those involved in cults and pyramid schemes don't actually need to have any amazing words or flattery. In fact, the most important ability required in this line of work is to identify who can be deceived and who will never be fooled.

Sometimes, the teachings of cults can be very stupid, and they may even claim that "I am Qin Shi Huang", "I can ask Li Bai to possess me", "I want to ask King Wen of Zhou to possess me"... In fact, this is also a part of the screening process.

Those who start to laugh at cults as soon as they see them are not the target audience of cults at all. Only those who are so empty that they can accept such doctrines are the believers that cults want to develop. Only such believers will go crazy and completely abandon the secular world and dedicate all their property to religion.

In his eyes, Mizutani Makoto was just a "fool" before.

But from one day on, he became a "smart person" who made him alarm bells ring.

The look in these two eyes is different.

Therefore, when Makoto Mizutani warmly invited him to his apartment for the last time, he was cautious. As soon as he entered the door, Makoto Mizutani chopped him twice with the kitchen knife from Mizutani's house, cutting off a large piece of meat. He fled from Makoto Mizutani's apartment screaming, and later did not dare to call the police or target Makoto Mizutani.

He is afraid.

Who the hell would argue with a madman over something like this?

In the end, Mizutani Makoto even dared to chop him with a kitchen knife. If he called the police and made a desperate move, and that guy was lurking around with him to play the game of Heaven and Earth and Longevity, would he still be able to spend the money he earned?

From that day on, Yuuma Nishiyama disappeared from Mizutani Makoto's sight. Who he could offend and who he couldn't offend was his survival creed.

but……

At this moment, Yuuma Nishiyama's heart was pounding.

He looked around and saw several strong priests standing next to him, but he still couldn't feel safe.

He cried out inwardly: "Why me?"

Damn it, the "venerable" above didn't know where he heard the name Mizutani Makoto from, and bluntly said that he is now an elite talent in the aristocratic school. He asked Nishiyama Yuuma, who had come into contact with Mizutani Makoto before, to test Mizutani again to see if he could absorb the future social elite.

Absorb this madman?

Yuuma Nishiyama resisted from the bottom of his heart... He knew that Makoto Mizutani really wanted to kill him.

However, just as the tamed believers had no way to resist him as a priest, as a priest of the "Red Lotus Seed Society", he enjoyed the conveniences brought by this religion, and naturally could not resist the demands of the venerable above his head.

This is a task, not a negotiation to bargain with him.

"Pastor Xishan, he's just a high school student, is there any need to be so scared?"

A colleague next to him spoke up to remind him.

Nishiyama Yuuma just shook his head. "It's definitely best not to get involved with someone like that. He might drive himself to death with you one day... Let's just live our lives. The more people like that we get involved with, the more dangerous it is."

The priest next to him continued to laugh, as if mocking his incompetence.

But soon he stopped laughing.

There was a strong smell of burning in the air.

When he suddenly turned his head, he found that a figure similar to a "bird" had appeared in the sky at some point.

The quantity is five.

The bird flashing with lightning swooped down with its wings spread.

There was no hesitation, no mercy.

The pair of claws directly clasped the tops of the priests' heads. The thunder emitted a terrifying high temperature at the moment of the explosion, and the aroma of burning flesh wafted out, but this was not the purpose of the thunderbirds... They never intended to kill these priests by explosion, but with a flap of their wings and a scratch of their claws, the five angels flew up directly under the horrified gaze of Xishan Yuma.

The pink and tender brain is exposed to the air.

Lightning flashed from the Thunderbird's body again and landed on the bloody and pink brain.

Swish——!!

In an instant, the entire scene became extremely horrifying and brutal.

But what was strange was that no one around seemed to notice their screams, and even the passers-by they had just seen disappeared. There was only a silent and dead silence in the whole world.

This is a strong distortion.

The cracks are the largest distortions, but just as Yoshiko Satori, in her former spirit form, had demonstrated the ability to create "distortions", the monsters that become Shikigami do not lose their "distorted" nature. It is completely feasible for them to kill people like evil spirits.
