From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

It was still the river bank where they had met before. At this time, there was no one around, and it was a good time for the monsters to meet.

"We are not from the Styx Society." In order to prevent Yanagihara Hayato from being too nervous, Chiyu Moriyama, who was wearing a Prajna mask, first explained this point. Then, following Natsukawa's instructions, she looked up at the crows in the sky and said to Yanagihara Hayato, "I thought you were just a solitary monster, but I didn't expect you to have a relationship with the Skeleton Society?"

Given her personality, this scene was already an above-average performance. Fortunately, because the gap in strength between the two was too big, Hayato Yanagihara didn't dare to think about it at all.

"That's not the case!" Perhaps fearing that he might be misunderstood as having a close relationship with the Skeleton Society and thus causing even bigger problems, Yanagihara Hayato hurriedly explained. "I just did some simple things for them before without asking for anything in return, and they promised to help me once!"

"Forget it then." Chiyu Moriyama said according to the script that Xia Chuan had prepared on the spot. "Please tell them that we have no hostility towards you. We just stumbled upon you and wanted to have a casual chat."

"Yes." Yanagihara Hayato said hurriedly.

His attitude gave Moriyama Chiyu a strange feeling. Although she did not fully understand the meaning of what Natsukawa asked her to say, she felt immersed in a sense of participating in some important mission.

"Well, goodbye." Chiyu Moriyama said, and then disappeared without a trace with the black cat.

Hayato Yanagihara did not dare to be careless and waited for a while. At this time, Natsukawa controlled several crows and landed next to him.

"It's been a long time since we last contacted each other, Yanagihara."

"Lord Haitai, is that you? Thank you for helping me out." Yanagihara Hayato said immediately.

Xia Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he still couldn't believe that Moriyama Chiyu had no purpose in looking for him, and he was more willing to believe that it was the skeleton that made her choose to leave.

"It's just a small matter." He didn't want to take advantage of Yanagihara Hayato through this misunderstanding. "They didn't mean any harm to you in the first place. By the way, how have you been lately?"

"Thanks to you." Yanagihara Hayato sighed, probably because he encountered some difficulties, but he didn't mean to continue the conversation.

Maybe he felt that, given his status, he was not qualified and should not say anything more.

"The Skeleton Society has reached a cooperative relationship with Akasaka, and has obtained a semi-public identity and the right to semi-public actions." Xiachuan then said. "If you encounter difficulties, you can go directly to the shrine of Nishio Hisa for help. I will ask the shrine maiden to receive and help you. In the shrine, even the Tokyo Watch will not mess around. Of course, if you are willing to join, we will also be happy to have you."

Hayato Yanagihara should be able to serve as an auxiliary force for the shrine, of course, provided that he is willing to give up some of the existing things.

He asked one of the crows to pluck a long feather from its tail, attached some spiritual energy to it, and gave it to Hayato Yanagihara as a token of trust.

"This is really..." Yanagihara Hayato hurriedly took the feather with both hands.

"Also, the Tokyo Watch has relaxed restrictions to a certain extent and started to recruit aliens to form a new organization to fight against the Styx Society. Regardless of the long-term development, the current treatment is indeed very good. If you or a monster you know desires an official status and wants to live in the sun, you can also consider it. It's better than being cannon fodder for the Styx Society."

However, Hayato Yanagihara obviously had no interest in this.

Given the reputation of Tokyo Watcher and Akasaka, this reaction is not surprising.

Moreover, Liu Yuan should have heard about the major events that the Styx Society had done before. Under such circumstances, a cautious monster like him would definitely not jump out to serve as cannon fodder for the Tokyo Watch.

"So……"

"Lord Kaitani!" Yanagihara Hayato suddenly shouted.

"what?"

"Have you made any progress on the matter of Taoyuan Township that you mentioned before?"

So he was still thinking about that lie?

Xia Chuan felt a little guilty.

“We’re still working on it.”

"Really?" Yanagihara Hayato heard the subtext and was a little depressed: "I really hope you can succeed soon!"

"That day will come." Xia Chuan could only bite the bullet and continue to lie.

No monster quickly ran to the Skeleton Shrine to curry favor with the Skeleton Society, and of course, no monster took the initiative to join Scott's group. However, Xiachuan believed that the news should spread, giving monsters who still had different ideas and stayed in Tokyo but did not join the Styx Society more choices.

To his surprise, within a few days, Kiryu Kazuryū reported to him.

"All five knives have found their owners."

So fast?

It has only been twenty days since Kiryu Ichiryū started taking action.

Even if he went around looking for potential targets every night, sneaked in, had a conversation, let the other party consider and choose, and waited for the result, the whole process would take at least ten minutes, right?

"how did you do that?"

"From the tenth day, I found the characteristics of people who can pass the test. Although it is not 100% correct, it has increased the success rate." Kiryu Kazuyu said. "Also, that rumor made my work much simpler. Most people don't need me to say anything, they naturally understand what happened and what they should do."

"Very good." Xia Chuan didn't know what to say.

During this process, the only help he provided was to tell Kiryu Ichiryū about the action plan of Akasaka and Mukuro Agency, allowing him to choose to avoid those areas and take action more safely.

It would be wonderful if others could do the same as he does, without asking questions, without hesitation, and without compromising.

“What do they want?”

"They just want revenge or power," Kiryu Ichiryu replied. "I asked them to wait a while for the storm to pass. They all accepted my advice."

It sounds easy to say, but behind the scenes a lot of heads were probably chopped off to eliminate all those who did not listen to the advice.

"We can help them achieve their wishes step by step." Xia Chuan said. "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

Even the Tokyo Watch knows how to use coercion and inducement. He can't just make people work without giving them any benefits.

"No difficulty." Kiryu Ichiryu said. "At least not now."

Chapter 163 Let’s Get Another Pet

Kiryu Ichiryu had none of Natsukawa's concerns.

If you want to kill someone for revenge, you can wait until the storm has passed and then kill him quietly. But if you want to kill people at random and cause trouble, you can't.

If you want money, that's fine. It's enough for you to spend lavishly and live a life you never dared to imagine before. But if you want to spend beyond your normal means, that's not fine.

If you want women, you can. In Neon, you can get all kinds of women if you have money. But you can't get decent women who don't want money.

If you want power, you can. You have money and the power given by the fake demon sword, which is enough to form a small gang and set up a financial company to show off your power. But if you want to go up and cause unnecessary trouble, you can't.

The idea that picking up a knife can make you the king of the underworld is just a rumor. Being chosen by a knife can indeed give you a life you didn't have before, but it's not possible to expect to reach the top overnight.

More than half of the people beheaded by him were those who could not accept the difference between rumors and reality and wanted to reason with him. Unfortunately, Kiryu Kazuryū didn't like to talk very much, so he only had one way of reasoning.

Every time he brought a newcomer to watch how he preached to people, in this way, they would naturally believe in the principles that Kiryu Kazuryū explained, and the effect was very good.

They even began to hone their wills and practice how to better use the power of the demon sword at the request of Kiryu Ichiryu. Kiryu Ichiryu himself was a master at killing people with a sword. Although he only taught everything once and only checked the progress once a week, his way of checking was very unique. The intense pain and the agony of dying were enough to make these guys go all out and make rapid progress.

"If possible, can you let them try the power of the Ghost Mask?" One day not long after, Kiryu Kazuyu suddenly took the initiative to make this request to Natsukawa.

There is no doubt that if these guys get out of control, Kiryu Ichiryu will not hesitate to kill them and find new people. This way of employing people is actually no different from Derek, which makes Xiachuan a little speechless. However, the guys he found were all gangsters, so from this perspective, there seems to be a certain difference.

Xia Chuan then made five leather ghost masks that were slightly stronger than the paper ghost masks and gave them to him. Two of them miraculously withstood the erosion of the ghost masks and gained the power of the ghost masks and the demon sword. The other three were simply knocked unconscious by Xia Chuan after losing control, leaving no chance for Kiryu Ichiryu to swing his sword.

"Although they didn't pass Ghost Face's test, at least they can pick up a knife. Don't waste it."

"Yes." Kiryu Ichiryu nodded, and then remained silent.

"Wait for my order."

"Yes."

#####

How to do?

Do you still want to kill M?

After possessing such power, Xia Chuan couldn't help but start thinking about this problem again.

With Ichiryū Kiryu and Kobori who turned into a Tengu, plus the five newly-minted Demon Sword Clan members, it is not too difficult to kill M.

The existence of the Mukuro Organization and Natsukawa's own position in Scott's team are enough to ensure that they get the latest intelligence in a timely manner, allowing them to avoid subsequent investigations.

But, is it really beneficial for me to kill M now?

Apart from venting anger, there doesn't seem to be any benefits worth mentioning.

Just as Long Qingting said before, it might be more beneficial for them to have incompetent J and M in charge of Tokyo. The two of them restrained each other, perfectly dispersing the original power and achieving the ideal result of one plus one less than two. Such opponents should be carefully protected to prevent them from leaving.

Weaken their influence, cultivate opposition forces in Akasaka and Neon, and try to form an undercurrent hidden in the darkness that is opposed to Tokyo Watch.

What the Styx has been doing is to shake and weaken the influence of the Watchers, and some of the things Xiachuan did before are actually playing the same role. Of course, he is more about changing Akasaka's attitude towards aliens, and this has started even before Long Qingting said these words to him.

And there is Kuroda Koji, who worked hard to build Akasaka's rapid response team, promising to transform the Skeleton Society into a missionary. Deep down in his heart, he must be extremely eager for change.

The Styx Society, a group of people who wantonly take other people's lives and attack both humans and aliens, is certainly not a partner for Xia Chuan, but Kuroda Koji should be a partner worthy of consideration. However, Xia Chuan has some doubts in his heart and needs to think more about him.

He certainly couldn't shake the influence of the Tokyo Watch by killing people indiscriminately like the Styx Society did. Moreover, based on his observations of the various actions of the Styx Society over the past year or so, slaughtering a large number of civilians would not achieve such a goal at all.

No one cares about the lives of civilians. Hitomi Kamio once said that believers are the cattle and sheep of God. In fact, for politicians, civilians are nothing more than the sheep they manage, and their lives and deaths cannot really bring about any changes.

That's why the Styx Society started assassinating politicians. Now that they have already done this, Xia Chuan is not going to compete with them for business.

He began to consider more direct ways to weaken the Watchers' true power.

Moriyama successfully became the Nekomata and could control two evil spirits, which gave him great convenience. However, he still needed to find a solution in another aspect.

"Qianyu, don't you think the house lacks vitality?"

"Eh?"

"I think we should get rid of all that unused fitness equipment and donate it to the school. As for the freed-up space...what do you think about us getting another pet?"

Chiyu Moriyama would naturally not object, but what does Kamiya-kun want?

"I've always wanted to raise something different." Xia Chuan quickly found his favorite target on the Internet. Neon is indeed a place where all kinds of weirdos gather, and there are all kinds of things. "What do you think of this thing? It's cool, right?"

"What is this? An octopus?"

Moriyama Shengli's ears suddenly perked up.

octopus?

Is it edible? Is it delicious?

"Yeah!" Xia Chuan said excitedly. "I just checked online, and it's said to be very difficult to raise, and few people have succeeded in raising it. So, it must be cool, right?"

When Xia Chuan thought of the famous tentacle monsters such as the Kraken and Mr. Ke, he became inexplicably excited.

The priestesses definitely couldn't raise such a thing, and that was why he came up with the idea of ​​raising an octopus as a spiritual pet.

The spiritual pet of the Lord God should be very different, right?

The small, cute animal in the pet fish tank is actually a terrifying sea monster that is wreaking havoc in Tokyo Bay and even in the Western Pacific Ocean... I got goosebumps all of a sudden.

Chapter 164 The Birth of Mr. Ke

After finding an aquarium store online and calling to confirm and pay, the tank and equipment, as well as stones and large shells for landscaping and hiding places for the octopuses, and even seawater elements and saltwater shrimps for feeding the octopuses, were delivered to me quickly.

Probably because Xia Chuan did not bargain at all, and there were indeed not many people raising octopuses, the owner delivered the goods to his door personally, and talked about a lot of things to pay attention to. He also gave Xia Chuan a personal website he had set up specifically to teach how to raise octopuses, and said that he could go there to ask any questions, and of course he could also call for consultation.

"We also provide daily maintenance services, and the fees are very reasonable." Although the owner did not think the house was luxurious, he was still eager to get new business. "Octopuses are very prone to sudden death. They can die suddenly due to salinity, temperature, or even stress. If you..."

"No need. I'll contact you if I need anything." Xia Chuan simply sent them out.

Chiyu Moriyama and Seungri were both studying the octopus. It curled up under a reef and did not seem to be very adapted to this unfamiliar environment. Its body had turned a color similar to the reef, and it did not move at all. It did not look pretty at all.

But this is not a problem at all for Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan observed this guy through the glass for a while, checked its physical condition, and then issued the first command to it.

The octopus quickly crawled out from under the reef and began to climb on the reef with its tentacles. At the same time, its body kept changing color. Finally, it turned into a bright red according to Xia Chuan's wishes.

"Isn't it interesting?" he said to Chiyu Moriyama.

The latter nodded, but she still didn't like this animal that was covered with tentacles and suckers, even though it could change into wonderful colors.

Xia Chuan began to feed it shrimps, and because of the magic, the octopus quickly adapted to the environment of the fish tank, and attacked at an extremely fast speed, grabbing and then dragging the shrimps into its mouth.

What should I name it?

Calling him "Mr. Ke" directly? That seems a bit too much. After all, he is just a pet.

So after a few seconds, Xia Chuan said, "Let's call it Paul!"

You must transform as quickly as possible, at least not sooner than Moriyama Shengli, and certainly not later than those priestesses. Otherwise, where will I save my dignity as a god?

However, training an octopus is indeed a bit too difficult. Without magic, it is almost impossible to make it do anything.

In the end, Xia Chuan could only prepare a jar filled with sea water. He carried it with him when he was free, and used his spiritual power to influence it whenever he had the chance, hoping to make it become a Shikigami as soon as possible.
