From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"As long as there is enough will and strong means, nothing can't be solved." Kiryu Ichiryu replied. "I am willing to be this sword and cut off all evil!"

This is true. Xia Chuan suddenly remembered certain specific periods. However, to achieve such an effect, it would cost a lot and require continuous investment of a lot of energy.

Neon is Neon after all. Even with the existence of a god like him, some deep-rooted things cannot suddenly disappear from people's habits and consciousness. Various entertainment venues will always exist, and some industries and cultures of Neon cannot disappear overnight. As long as these things exist, they will inevitably hide sins.

Unless he suddenly mastered the ability to brainwash people and inject subconsciousness, completely eradicating crime would be a huge investment that would not be worth the cost.

However, it should be possible to minimize the impact of crime and control it at an extremely low level.

"Instead of letting evil grow secretly in places we can't see and bring all kinds of problems, it's better to keep it under our control and have a bottom line." Xia Chuan said. "Kiryu, you will be the king of the neon dark world! You decide how to do it yourself. My requirement is that as long as ordinary people don't degenerate and keep themselves clean, they will never be aware of the existence of those things in their lifetime! Under no circumstances can people in the dark world take the initiative to attack innocent people. You must distinguish between black and white, okay?"

"How do we deal with those behind the scenes?" asked Kiryu Kazuyu.

"If everything goes well, there shouldn't be any culprits after tomorrow."

"In that case, please leave this matter to me!" Kiryu Kazuyuu leaned forward and answered.

"What authority do you need?" Xia Chuan asked. "Who do you want?"

"I don't need anything else." Kiryu Ichiryu replied. "This sword is enough."

"You...are you just going to kill people along the way? How long will it take to complete the mission?" Xia Chuan shook his head. "How about this, you pick the people from the chosen warriors, and you can decide how many you want. I'll tell Kuroda Koji about this arrangement and ask him to spread the news. Other things are fine, but I can't ask you to kill the police with a knife every day, right? Also, don't kill too many people! Remember! I'm asking you to take care of them, not to kill them all!"

"Yes!" Kiryu Ichiryu nodded solemnly.

Chapter 309 Convert or Die

The news that the God had summoned the two men one after another and entrusted them with important tasks quickly spread throughout the upper echelons of Tokyo, and the reactions from each party were completely different.

Most of those who reached this level were already old. On the one hand, they had strong expectations for the existence of gods due to the deterioration of their physical functions, but on the other hand, their reaction to this new situation was extremely slow. What was even worse was that although there were people among their staff who could correctly judge and foresee the situation, they did not dare to say much because of the long-standing relationship of respect and inferiority and atmosphere and culture. After their suggestions were rejected by the old people who were optimistic, they threw their guesses aside and continued to cater to the ideas of their superiors as usual.

Let’s drag it and see.

Many people instinctively adopted this approach, which was very effective and normal in the past. However, this inadvertently led to a result that was perhaps not the intention of the parties involved, but was quite embarrassing for Kawaguchi Rena.

That is, although the cadres of the Zonglian basically arrived on time as she had previously requested, the leaders of various sects, religious groups and other organizations hardly ever arrived within the time she had specified. Even if they did, they were often only deputies of the religious group or even just one of the leaders.

They apologized sincerely, explaining all kinds of reasons why they couldn't come in person, but they might have harbored some malice in their hearts: I'm just a shrine maiden of the god, young and arrogant, do you really think you're that great? Face is given to each other, if you don't give us face, then don't blame us for not giving you face. There are so many sects and churches in Tokyo, and so many people didn't come, let's see how you end up?

Not only these people think this way, many people within the Zonglian actually secretly hold similar ideas.

Why?

They naturally had great respect for the God who saved Tokyo and the world, but what qualifications did a 17 or 18-year-old girl have to call on their elders in exchange? Did she really think that since the God had authorized her, she had the power to say what was what?

How ridiculous!

Perhaps she did possess great power bestowed by God, but this was not a war. The role that individual strength could play was extremely limited, and overly radical attitudes and practices could lead to complete defeat.

After they gathered, the orders she issued to them were simply nonsense. They did not take into account reality, lacked operability, and even less considered the backlash and resistance of various religions.

It's no wonder that these middle school kids always have unrealistic fantasies about their own strength and abilities, and always set goals for themselves that seem beautiful but are actually a mess.

But the real world does not operate according to their imagination. The adult world is much more complicated than she imagined.

It is said that she made a big promise to the God?

Then, when she was humiliated by reality and had no choice but to bow her head and ask for their help...

At this time, Kawaguchi Reina gently knocked on the table in front of her: "Time's up."

"Kawaguchi Miko..." A clan leader who had communicated smoothly with Kawaguchi Reina before said with a smile. "Maybe there was an emergency on the way. Otherwise, should we wait a little longer?"

"Wait? No need." Kawaguchi Reina said coldly. "If you give them a chance to live and you don't want it, then you can't blame me."

There was a strong sense of incongruity when such murderous words came out of the mouth of a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old and still looked very young. However, her matter-of-fact attitude and the dog god behind her who had been sleeping on his stomach but suddenly stood up gave the people present some kind of illusion, and they even felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

"Why do you think I asked you to come? To discuss something with you?" Kawaguchi Reina stood up and sneered at the religious leaders standing in the room. "You are totally wrong! I asked you to come out of compassion and wanted to give you a chance to survive and protect your family. Unfortunately, it seems that many people don't want such an opportunity."

"Your Highness the Miko, what do you mean?" an old monk asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Kawaguchi Reina asked. "Do you think that in this country, after the Lord God comes to the world, you can still live in peace and continue to deceive the public with lies as usual, and continue to make them believe in your false God?"

It was as if a bomb had been dropped into the hearts of the people, and they instantly became excited.

Kawaguchi Reina had an idea, and the Inugami, who received her order, barked loudly and took a step forward, scaring the monk so much that he retreated and hid in the crowd.

"This is a dead line!" Kawaguchi Reina climbed onto the Inugami's back and rode on it. "There is no room for negotiation, no chance of luck! It's okay for ordinary people, they have the freedom to believe or not, but you clergy, if you don't convert, you will die!"

After all, she was still too young, and it was inevitable that she was a little hysterical when she said these words, but her words were like thunder, making the heads of everyone present buzz.

Some people wanted to leave the room, but the door had been closed by the Kasumigawa-kai fanatics and the chosen warriors arranged by Kawaguchi Reina, and they also took out their guns and knives.

"This is a trap!" a priest screamed.

"A trap? Don't raise your own value so easily. You don't deserve it." Kawaguchi Reina said. "Start dividing into teams now!"

The chosen warriors and the fanatics with weapons began to move towards the crowd, making them more panicked, but they dared not resist in such a situation.

"Miss Kawaguchi, there's no need to do this!" Several leaders of the clan alliance shouted hurriedly. "Maybe there's some misunderstanding here, we can..."

"It seems you didn't listen to what I said to you before." Kawaguchi Reina said. "Otherwise, how dare you say such a thing? Get out of the way before I lose my patience!"

The men wanted to say something, but the gun-wielding fanatics came over, roughly grabbed their clothes and pushed them aside.

"First of all, the person in charge arrived on time." Kawaguchi Reina said. "Congratulations, you seized the opportunity to save yourselves, come to the front."

Some tried to argue, but were quickly knocked to the ground with knife handles and rifle butts.

The people called by Kawaguchi Reina walked to the front uneasily, looking at the huge head and sharp teeth of the Inugami, trembling in fear, and even dared not look up at the shrine maiden on it.

"Do you want to abandon the false gods, voluntarily convert to the Xiachuan Society, and become the servants of Xiachuan Daimyojin?"

"Yes! Yes! I do! I do!"

In such a scenario, who dares to say no? Even if you have all kinds of ideas, you just have to get through this level first!

"Very good." Kawaguchi Reina said. "Someone will contact you later and tell you how to merge the cult into the Kasumigawa Society as soon as possible. Now is the time to recruit people. As long as you serve the gods wholeheartedly, you will naturally get the rewards you deserve! However, if you are two-faced and have selfish thoughts, you will definitely be severely punished!"

"Yes! Yes!" In this situation, of course everyone agreed.

"Back off!" said Rena Kawaguchi.

Someone took them out, which caused another commotion, but it was quickly suppressed by gunpoint and long knives.

"The rest of you, you have two choices," Kawaguchi Reina said. "Your actions are already disrespectful to the gods, but you are here at least, so you should be treated better than those who are looking for death. The first choice is to go back and tell the people behind you that as long as you hand over all your followers and property, the past events will be considered as your mistakes made out of ignorance, and bygones will be forgiven."

Such words caused the crowd to become agitated again.

"What? Are you so impatient to die for your false god?" Kawaguchi Rena sneered and loudly called out the names of several God-chosen warriors, asking them to single out the people who were making the most trouble.

"What you are doing is illegal! You have no right to rob us of our wealth! We want to..."

"Kill him." said Kawaguchi Rena.

There was a flash of knife, and the head fell to the ground. The huge conference hall suddenly fell silent, and only the hissing sound of blood spurting out could be heard.

"Are there still people who don't understand the situation? Who will tell you the truth? As cultists and apostles of evil gods, what qualifications do you have to tell the truth?" Having experienced so many battles, this level of bloodshed is no longer a problem for Kawaguchi Reina. She looked around and asked with a sneer. "Are there still people who insist on believing in evil gods and false gods? Stand up now!"

No one dared to move, and no one dared to make a sound.

"The second option is that since you are here on behalf of your respective sects, I can also treat you as the leaders of your respective sects and give you the same treatment as those who came before you. Voluntarily convert and actively promote the reunion of the sect with Xiachuan, then unlimited opportunities and rewards may come to you."

"What about our leader?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Those who defy God will have only one fate."

"I choose the second one!" the man gritted his teeth and shouted. "Your Highness, I am willing to convert to the Xiachuan Society and lead the believers to become the most loyal lambs of Xiachuan Daimyojin!"

"Very good!" Kawaguchi Reina finally laughed, which made everyone shudder. "What's your name? I'm looking forward to seeing your performance."

"What about those who didn't come?" another person hiding in the crowd asked unwillingly.

"We'll deal with them right away." Kawaguchi Reina laughed again. "Don't worry, they will die painfully. And before they hand over all their property, they can't die even if they want to. Disrespecting God, haha, such a serious crime, how can we not torture them?"

Chapter 310: The Prototype of the Demon Capital

Kuroda Mitsuru soon learned about the meeting from the people of the Zonglian. After all, those people were once part of Akasaka, and deep down they identified more with Akasaka than with the Kasumigawa Society. Kawaguchi Rena's tough and bloody approach also aroused anxiety and anger among some of them, because the killing without reason and the wanton plundering were too much like the objects they had once tried to suppress and eliminate.

However, Kuroda Koji did not show any inclination to support them. Not only did he not have the intention of reporting the matter to Natsukawa, but he warned and persuaded them not to confront Kawaguchi Rena.

"Kawaguchi is just a pawn of God. Even if you try your best to resist her or even destroy her, the result will not change. For God, faith is power, it is everything. No matter who comes to power, this fundamental policy will not change in the slightest. On the contrary, Kawaguchi's failure may arouse God's anger and bring more serious consequences."

"I will only say these words for the last time. Lord God is an existence we cannot fight against. Don't dream of fighting against Him, but try your best to accept and adapt to the new status quo and rules. We could accept the rule of the Watchers in the past, so we can accept the rule of Lord God now. In a sense, He has shown greater kindness than the Watchers. What we should do most now is to try our best to help Him, so that He can become the master of this land smoothly, and let Him have more sense of identity and mission for this land, so as to create a better future for the people of Neon."

People may not accept his ideas immediately, but Kuroda Koji believes that it is only a matter of time. With the way Kawaguchi Reina and Kiryu Ichiryu, who are currently being used by God, act, those who cannot understand these will soon be eliminated, and it is very likely that they will be eliminated in a very cruel way.

This country, this land, and the people on this land must accept this new order. It will be like a flood, engulfing everything, and no one can resist or stop it. The only thing they can do is to adapt to and utilize this torrent, try to build dams, and turn this force that originally destroyed everything into bringing well-being to mankind.

Kentaro Sato also heard about what had happened very quickly. After all, there were only a few fanatics in the Kasumigawa-kai who were willing to take up swords and guns. Kawaguchi Rena's behavior not only intimidated those "pagans", but also frightened many people in the Kasumigawa-kai.

They soon gathered around Kentaro Sato out of habit, hoping to get a sense of security from him, but Sato did not dare to interfere with Kawaguchi Rena's actions, nor did he dare to report these things to the gods. He could only find ways to appease the believers and tell them that these were just special measures that had to be taken in special times.

The one who let Natsukawa know these things was Erika, the third fox demon who was summoned by him alone and was going to be entrusted with an important task.

"When did this girl become so violent?" Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately distracted his attention to check on Kawaguchi Rena's situation. He found that she was assigning tasks to a group of fanatics and God's chosen warriors. It looked like she was going to start a war. Outside them were some people from the Zonglian who looked hesitant.

"She was always very decisive, and she didn't have any extra moral burdens, but she really made up her mind after you, the God, summoned Kiryu Ichiryu, right?"

"What?" This statement surprised Xia Chuan a little.

"Master Mukutani, your admiration for Kiryu Ichiryu is obvious to all, but most people don't have the courage and determination to act like him. I heard that Reina made some kind of agreement with you? Perhaps at that time, she was ready to follow Kiryu's example?"

"There is such a thing?" Xia Chuan reflected on it for a moment and found that although he did not do it on purpose, he did unintentionally express his attitude many times that Kiryu Kazuyu was the most worry-free person among all the people.

Come to think of it, Kiryu Kazuyuu is becoming more and more extreme. Could it be that he is encouraged by himself?

Being in this position, it seems that every word and action may inadvertently bring about unexpected consequences, which is really a headache.

"However, at this stage, it is only natural to do so," Erika said. "During the last days of the shogunate, tens of thousands of people were killed for opposing the new policies. During every change of era, there are always people who cannot adapt to the new era and will be eliminated, and the new order must be forged with the blood of these people. The resistance in this era is much weaker than during the last days of the shogunate, and Kawaguchi and Kiryu also have enough will and ability to complete their tasks, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

Xia Chuan shook his head. He was not upset about this, he was just a little sad.

After all, in his mind, Kawaguchi Rena was still just that middle school girl with a head full of weird ideas that made him angry and amused. It was really hard for him to accept that she suddenly became the murderous person she is now.

"Of course I trust them, otherwise, I wouldn't have given them the task." He said insincerely, and then asked: "Have you guessed why I asked you to come?"

"If it's about forming a new government, please allow me to refuse." Erika's expression was a little uneasy. "It's not that I don't want to work for Master Mukuro, but because I really don't have the talent for this. Especially at this critical moment when everything is in ruins, it will definitely affect your plans, Master Mukuro!"

Her words and attitude made Xia Chuan sigh, and then he laughed helplessly: "You think too much. Since I said that I would let those guys formulate the plan, how could I go back on my word and appoint a new person in charge? I came to you to discuss the matter of the aliens with you."

"About the aliens?"

"After all, the original purpose of the Skeleton Society was to allow all aliens to live freely in the sun and live in peace with humans. Moreover, I also expect to see such a result." Xia Chuan said. "I plan to set aside an area in Tokyo as a designated living area for aliens. As long as they are registered aliens, they can all receive official protection and live freely in this area like humans, engaging in various occupations. Of course, since they live in the human world, they must also abide by basic laws and order, accept some restrictions, and preferably appear in human form. Do you think they will accept such conditions?"

"As long as it's your will." Erika said.

"Please, can you not talk to me in this tone?" Xia Chuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. "I don't treat you as my subordinate, and I don't want you to become like this. I can understand that after so many things have happened, it is difficult for you to get along with me completely like before, but I hope you won't be so reserved and distant. Maybe we can't continue to be friends, but you... haven't you always called yourself my sister? What sister would face her brother like this?"

Erika's expression was a little complicated. After a long while, she forced a smile: "I'm very sorry, but I... I will try my best to overcome it. Please give me some time."

Xia Chuan could only sigh again in his heart, and then asked: "Do you think everyone will accept my idea?"

"After decades of fleeing and hiding, it must be very difficult to make them suddenly believe in such a thing and expose it to the sun. If it were me, I would definitely be suspicious and afraid at first if I had no idea about the considerations." Erika tried to adjust her tone, but it was still a bit too humble. "But the advantage of aliens over humans is that they are more likely to accept the orders of the strong unconditionally. I think we can force all the aliens in Kanto to accept such an arrangement first, let them serve as an example, and give the aliens in other places a time limit for consideration and action. But why do you limit them to this area? Is there any special reason?"

"It's just for the sake of management." Xia Chuan said. "After all, the power of aliens is much stronger than that of humans, and many aliens rely on killing humans to gain spiritual power and increase their own power. If we leave them outside, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not continue to kill and harm people at will. As long as this situation exists, the peaceful coexistence of humans and aliens is just empty talk and will never be realized. Bringing them to Tokyo and registering and managing them under my nose can at least prevent such things from happening again."

"You mean, from now on, aliens are not allowed to kill humans?"

"Of course! Didn't I just say that the price of living freely is to abide by the basic laws and order of human society and accept certain restrictions?"

"But doing so is tantamount to interrupting the path of many aliens to become stronger, and they will definitely have a fierce backlash," said Erika.

"What if I give you some spiritual power as a reward?" Xia Chuan said. "As long as you stay in this area honestly and don't cause trouble, you can get basic spiritual power from me every month as a reward. If you are willing to complete specific tasks or join the Skeleton Society, you can get additional rewards. Depending on the difficulty of the task and the position in the Skeleton Society, the rewards will vary. What do you think?"

The fox demon was stunned for a moment, then replied: "With such conditions, I think they will definitely flock to it and wish for it!"

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you?" Xia Chuan said. "Let's take the so-called six districts in the city center as the designated area. Such a large area should be enough?"

"Yes, please leave it to me!" the fox replied solemnly.

Chapter 311: Divine Might

While Natsukawa was talking to Erika, Kawaguchi Rena had already completed the arrangements. More than a dozen large buses that she had looted from somewhere were carrying the God's chosen warriors and fanatics, while the people from the Zonglian got in their own cars and followed the convoy, which seemed a little too large after the disaster.

But the most eye-catching were the two armored vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns at the front of the convoy. These should be the vehicles of the Japanese army that came to provide disaster relief, but both the drivers and the operators of the machine guns had become fanatics.

I really don't know how she got this kind of weapon. This also made Xiachuan more determined to deal with the Japanese civil servant army.

The costumes of the Kasumigawa Society's priestesses and the chosen warriors were no longer unfamiliar to many citizens, but the sight of them armed with live ammunition still frightened many people. With armored vehicles leading the way, the convoy was not moving fast, but it did not encounter any obstacles until they were close to the target, when they were finally blocked by a large group of people holding hastily made colorful flags and slogans, who were probably believers of the target sect.

It was a large, colorful area, with probably three or four hundred people.
