From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Am I already that strong?

Xia Chuan himself was shocked. Because of his previous experience, he didn't dare to hold back at all. He didn't expect the result to be like this.

No, she is too weak.

The evil spirit on the opposite side has power but has no idea how to use it. It only acts based on the instinct of hatred.

If he had faced that monster when he first came into this world and had no chance to master the basic methods of using his strength, his fate would probably not have been any better.

"Can you calm down now? Come to think of it, how did you end up in this place?" Confident of victory, Xia Chuan felt more and more relaxed.

There is no reason for Ayano Minami to know Yui Aoki's home address. Moreover, why is she not tied to a certain place but can move freely through the TV? What secret is there?

It’s really a headache. If she is willing to hand over these secrets, should I let her go?

"Aoki Yui... must die!" After suffering a heavy blow, the evil spirit of Ayano Minami seemed to have lost some consciousness. She instinctively wanted to escape from him because she was afraid of Natsukawa's power, but the strong hatred in her heart drove her to break through Natsukawa's defense and go to that room to kill Aoki Yui.

"Why?" Xia Chuan suddenly realized the problem.

She was completely unaware of her existence just seconds ago, so why did she come to seek revenge on Yui?

It is obvious that Yui Aoki was just a simple victim in this incident. Even if she died with resentment, no matter how many targets she would choose for revenge, it would not be Yui Aoki who had already left the school, right?

"If it weren't for her... I wouldn't have gone to that place... If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have suffered such humiliation... She should have died long ago! If she had died earlier, I wouldn't have become what I am now! It's her! Everything is because of her! She is the one who ruined me!"

This kind of logic... Xia Chuan simply couldn't understand it, but it also made his already slight hesitation disappear immediately.

Can't give her a chance to escape.

He acted immediately, striking, chopping, and crushing. Before Ayano Minami's evil spirit could do anything else, it was shattered.

Then... absorption.

The power of wishes that poured in at that moment even far exceeded the total prayers of Yui Aoki, Kentaro Sato and others.

This reality is simply a naked temptation for him to commit crimes and take shortcuts.

"Ah~ Mr. Guardian Spirit?" Yui Aoki's voice suddenly asked in the bedroom.

Xia Chuan immediately ran over and gently touched the tip of her nose.

"Just now...just now I seemed to have dreamed about Xiaonan."

What did she say?

"She didn't say anything, but she looked angry and scary."

There was still a faint spiritual energy belonging to Ayano Minami in the room. Xiachuan immediately circled around and absorbed it all into his body.

[It's just a dream. Your life has nothing to do with her anymore. Everything is over.]

"Yeah~" Aoki Yui nodded, reached out to hold the phone, and put it next to her head. "Good night, Mr. Guardian Spirit."

Xia Chuan watched her fall asleep beside him, then quietly pushed the phone away.

It's not good for your health to sleep with your phone as your pillow, silly girl!

The TV had long since returned to normal, but Xia Chuan switched channels several times and there was no news about a high school girl committing suicide.

Was he covered up by Akasaka? Or did he just die and come to find Yui?

What a worthy death!

#####

"There have been no reports of any deaths from cardiac arrest, not one."

"Are you sure? Did you look carefully?" After staying up all night again, Kimoto was a little irritable, but Tachibana Hiroichi was already used to it.

"There are two cases of myocardial infarction, but they are elderly people who don't use the Internet and don't live nearby. Do you think it's related to Ayano Minami?"

"What's going on? Has she changed her means of revenge?"

"We don't know yet. We can only wait for more death reports to come out." Tachibana Hiroichi sighed. He didn't know when these days would end.

But as long as human beings exist, as long as there is jealousy, hatred, and bullying among humans, their mission will never end, right?

"Will you go to bed first or should I?"

"You go first." Mu Yuan said.

"Then I'll sleep for an hour. Remember to wake me up then."

Tachibana Hiroichi adjusted the car seat, covered himself with his coat and lay down, while Kimoto drank the black coffee in his hand in one gulp, forced himself to be alert, and once again looked through the death report that Tachibana Hiroichi brought.

Once an evil spirit starts killing people, it will not stop. It must be hiding somewhere or has already killed someone.

Must find it as soon as possible!

Then, wipe it out from this world completely!

Chapter 25: Coming to my door so soon?

For a moment, Kimoto and Tachibana Koichi were in a stalemate.

One day, two days, three days, no new victims appeared, and there was no more evidence that Ayano Minami's evil spirit was still active. On the other hand, in other corners of the huge city of Tokyo, new abnormal events and things that needed attention were happening.

Although it is still unknown what happened, whether Ayano Minami moved to another place and started to do evil in a new and more secretive way; or it fell into a deep sleep due to some kind of rule restriction and needs to wait until the next cycle comes; or it has been devoured by a more powerful alien that Akasaka has not observed. However, as an organization responsible for the entire Tokyo metropolitan area and even the Kanto region, Akasaka can only gradually withdraw personnel from this incident and finally record it as an unsolved case.

"Just let it go like this?" Mu Yuan still couldn't let it go.

Any of the three possibilities is not a good thing for the people living on this land, because it means that the threat has not been eliminated, but has increased to some extent.

The enemy has evolved, become smarter, and better at hiding itself, which is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"What else can we do? Continuing to investigate this matter endlessly and wasting human and material resources will only lead to insufficient investment in other abnormal events and bring more problems." Tachibana Hirokazu said. "This matter has been recorded. Even if you are too busy to remember it, someone will notify you in advance by this time next year to prepare. If it comes out to do evil again by then, we will kill it then!"

"I won't forget this." Mu Yuan shook his head.

"That's because you haven't experienced enough. If you want to stay in Akasaka, you must learn to forget and let go." Tachibana Hiroichi wanted to pat her on the head, but considering her temper, he finally waved his hand and let it go. "If you remember everything, it won't be long before you collapse."

Kimoto didn't say anything, so Tachibana Koichi could only smile bitterly.

One never simply convinces another; only events can change them.

Wasn't it the same for him when he was dragged into Akasaka because of that incident?

This is probably the inevitable path for every Akasaka member, and anyone who cannot adapt to this will eventually be cruelly eliminated.

"I want to visit that school again," said Mu Yuan.

"Be careful, go home early, take a hot bath and have a good sleep. There will definitely be new incidents waiting for us to investigate tomorrow."

Mu Yuan walked straight into the campus of Higashioku High School. Because she had been going in and out of here in recent days, the security guards already knew her. They let her in without her having to show her ID and smiled at her humbly.

Their public identity to the general public is "Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Special Mobile Investigation Team", and their identity to the police system is "Neon Public Safety Committee Special Mobile Investigation Team First Division". However, the general public cannot distinguish the differences between the various branches within the police, and they all regard them as criminal police.

Such confusion helps them conduct investigations on various occasions, so they do not go out of their way to correct or explain it.

The students were in class, and Kimoto was walking around the not-so-big campus, hoping to get some inspiration to track down Ayano Minami. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the name that she had forgotten because she was too busy.

Aoki Yui...first year...Class C?

She happened to be in the same class as Ayano Minami, but her name was not listed in the relevant information, so she probably didn't have much connection with this girl who died with hatred.

Kimoto deliberately passed by the classroom of Class C on the first floor. He originally wanted to just see Aoki Yui's situation from a distance, but surprisingly, there were several empty seats in Class C of the first year, and Aoki Yui was not sitting in any of them.

"Aoki Yui? Another year in Class C? Oh, I have some impression of her. She seems to have been skipping classes for a long time. By the way, Mr. Abe, is she close to the standard of forced expulsion?" The vice principal thought that something had gone wrong again, but he was slightly relieved when he heard that she was only here to investigate a student who had nothing to do with the previous "suspected serial suicide incidents." "Ah... Detective Kimoto, is she in trouble outside of school?"

"That's not the case." Kimoto clarified immediately. "We just happened to know each other because of a previous case."

"It's probably because of her father, right?" Teacher Abe frowned. "It's hard for our school to deal with children who are brought up at home! I called her many times and sincerely persuaded her to come back to school, but she always skipped classes after a few days. She used to answer the phone, but this time she didn't even answer the phone, and her father couldn't be contacted. Faced with this situation, although we are helpless, we can only give up. Officer Kimoto, although we are teachers, we can't force them to come to school from home, right?"

"Is she related to Ayano Minami?"

"No, no! Absolutely not!" The vice-principal and Teacher Abe said in unison, which made Ki Yuan a little suspicious.

"Well, her home address should be in the student information, right?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

#####

Natsukawa was in a very happy mood as he unexpectedly gained a large amount of wish power and completely solved a hidden danger for Yui Aoki.

This led him to issue a new oracle to Kentaro Sato, telling him that he had passed the initial test. Next, as long as he contributed enough faith, he would consider responding to Sato's prayer and performing a treatment for an unspecified person at his shrine. Of course, the premise was still that the secret must be kept strictly.

As for how much faith power is considered "enough" and how to attract more believers while keeping the secret, these are still issues that Kentaro Sato needs to consider.

It is absolutely impossible for him to fulfill every request. Everything depends on his mood.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that he does not have to be bound by anything, and after setting such a standard from the beginning, believers will not expect to get a response from him.

The reason you didn't get a response is because your faith is not sincere enough and your contribution is not enough, not because of the gods. So, in order to get salvation and protection, please pray and dedicate more sincerely.

It is simply the most perfect relationship between gods and believers, and no wonder it has become a universal standard.

Xia Chuan would never break the convention between gods and believers and engage in vicious competition just because he was eager for success. He had learned that under Akasaka's strict suppression, at least in the Kanto region, most shrines, temples and churches were just brainwashing sites for large fraud organizations. So, what reason did he have to humble himself?

Yui, just be patient a little longer... An ominous premonition suddenly came from nowhere, and he subconsciously passed through the roof and floated outside. Then, he saw the figure who was asking for directions.

In the wood element tree?

It came so fast! Are you born in the Year of the Dog?

#####

Continue to roll around on the ground asking for collections, recommendations and blades...

Chapter 26: Take it Alone

Xia Chuan hesitated for a second.

Before in the hospital, he had merely absorbed a spirit that collapsed on its own and it had triggered the reaction of the detector that the Akasaka personnel always carried with them. So at this point in time, it was impossible for Kimoto not to detect his presence.

The greater possibility is that even if he was at a maximum distance of twenty meters from Aoki Yui like before, Kimoto would be able to immediately detect his presence.

There is no such thing as killing to silence someone. On the one hand, he cannot bring himself to kill someone who has not done anything wrong to him, especially when that person is a beauty. More importantly, even if he kills Kimoto, it will not completely solve the problem. Instead, her loss of contact may attract more people from Akasaka.

The only way to deal with it now is to take the initiative to face it.

[Yui, Kimoto is here! ]

Yui Aoki was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of this sentence, which made her panic.

Although she didn't know what Xiachuan had done in the past few days, she was very clear that Mu Yuan's arrival could be a fatal threat to Xiachuan.

[Don't panic! Now go out, go upstairs, and hide the amulet at the end of the corridor. Then come back.]

"Can I not see her?" Aoki Yui said with some trepidation. "Should I hide upstairs?"

[Since she came to our house, there must be a reason, and she will definitely find a way to see you. Now we are in control. If she goes to Hezhuang, or meets them on the street at some other time, the situation will be worse than this! Stop talking so much, and get out first! ]

Yui Aoki took action immediately. She hurriedly followed Natsukawa's instructions and hid the amulet behind a decoration at the end of the third floor. But when she thought about leaving Natsukawa, she couldn't help but panic.

[Don't be afraid, don't panic, don't talk about anything except what's related to me, you can tell the truth about everything else. It's okay]

Although she was still nervous and scared, Yui Aoki forced herself, gritted her teeth and ran downstairs as fast as she could.

She even asked for more than Xiachuan asked for, and soon he saw her walking out of the apartment with her bag on her back, and she happened to run into Mu Yuan.

"Yui!" Kimoto was a little surprised. What a coincidence?

"Ms. Kimoto." Aoki Yui was still a little nervous and nodded slightly. "How could you?"

"I happened to visit your school and heard that you didn't go to school, so I came to see you." Mu Yuan observed her quietly and noticed that the expression on her face was a little unnatural, but considering her current status as a truant student, it seemed normal. "Um...did something unpleasant happen at school?"

Aoki Yui tried hard to force herself not to look up at where Natsukawa might be. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said to Kimoto, "Excuse me, Ms. Kimoto, I originally wanted to go to the convenience store to buy something... How about we talk over there?"

"I was too busy to come visit you, and I don't know how you are doing." Mu Yuan said. "I'm sorry, is there a coffee shop nearby? Let's find a place to sit down and chat."

But this dilapidated area did not have the store that Kimoto mentioned, and Aoki Yui was unwilling to take her to the commercial street. In the end, they bought two cans of hot coffee at a convenience store and sat on the roadside near the convenience store.

Aoki Yui remained silent, and Kimoto didn't know how to start. After a moment, she asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Aoki Yui shook her head.

"If you don't go to school, what are you going to do in the future?"
