From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

After Xia Chuan had performed miracles, he still had the courage and motivation to do such a thing. There is no doubt that he had either been brainwashed to the point of losing his self-judgment, or he had too deep a connection with this sect and could no longer extricate himself.

Xiachuan was very curious about what Kawaguchi Rena would do. If she just ordered the shooting in the street or just ran over people, causing a tragedy in public, he would take the blame but would definitely remove Kawaguchi Rena from her position afterwards.

He admired Kiryu Ichiryū's decisiveness, perseverance, and courage, not his cruel and murderous side. Drawing a sword against a strong enemy is heroic, and drawing a sword against a shrewd person is courageous, but drawing a sword against a weak person can only be described as cruel, and drawing a sword against a weak person in public is stupid and evil.

No matter what, Neon is already Natsukawa's territory, and he is the god who saved the whole world from evil and healed the whole of Tokyo.

It is one thing to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys behind closed doors, but in front of the public, the image issue still needs to be considered.

If Kawaguchi Reina goes too far down this path, she will have to be put on a bridle, both for her own sake and for the sake of the Kasumigawa Association.

The convoy stopped soon.

The believers did not resort to violent means of resistance. Instead, they linked hands and formed several rows of human walls, loudly shouting slogans such as "Faith is not a crime, faith is free", and stopped where they were, as if they wanted to block the convoy's progress in this way, create an impact and delay time.

In the front row were unarmed elderly, weak, women and children, while in the back row, behind the slogans and flags were young and strong men wearing helmets. They had wooden sticks, iron bars, stones, Molotov cocktails and other things hidden in their hands. It looked like this was not the first time they had faced a similar situation.

Xia Chuan saw Baba Hao frowning in a car not far away. He probably came here because he had received a report and was worried. So he let the possessed crow land in front of him and asked, "What kind of sect is this? How did Akasaka and Zonglian deal with them in the past?"

Baba Hao was startled, and then hurriedly bowed to the crow, and then answered: "God, this is the fastest growing new religion in Japan in the past ten years, the Jesuit Order, which is a branch of the famous American sect New Millennium Jesuit Order. Because they have the support of the Watchers, Akasaka and the Zonglian did not dare to target or restrict them too much in the past. They only cautiously knocked them when their actions were too exaggerated. They claim to have 500,000 believers in Japan, but in fact there are about 140,000 or 150,000 believers, but there are about 40,000 in Tokyo alone. Because of their strong background, they can do things that other churches dare not do, and they have a strong control over their believers."

He obviously did his homework before coming here, which made Xia Chuan nodded with satisfaction: "Kawaguchi chose a good target!"

They have an American background, were arrogant in the past, and have enough influence and many followers. This also means that they are very conspicuous, but they should not have many allies in Japan, and they will not have any shameful connections in Akasaka and Zonglian. They may even be the guys that everyone in this circle hates.

By dealing with them, we can establish our authority without causing too serious consequences or involving too many people.

Kawaguchi Rena should have given it full consideration, which made Natsukawa even more curious about her plan.

If I had known it would be a situation like this, I should have listened carefully to her arrangements beforehand.

"If it were you, what would you do?" he then asked Baba Hiroshi.

"It is definitely not okay to continue to tolerate such stubborn people!" Ma Changhao immediately made his attitude clear, and then said, "But the other party are all civilians, and they have not committed any outrageous crimes. Directly using violence will have some impact on your reputation, Lord God. If it were me, I would send more people to isolate the periphery first, disperse the irrelevant people, prevent the situation inside from leaking out, and then separate their people from the periphery layer by layer, take them away, and conduct screening and interrogation separately. The leaders and backbones must be severely punished, and as for those ignorant believers who were involved, find a place to lock them up first, and after confirming the crimes of the leader and others, make them public, help them recognize the true face of these scammers, and make them wake up!"

“What if they resist the law violently?”

"Use water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets and riot police to disperse and arrest them! All violent resisters of the law will be severely punished!"

It seems that Akasaka's decisiveness is only directed at aliens. When facing humans, their actions are not so casual.

This may be a self-restraint mechanism to prevent violent organizations like these with too many resources and power from becoming lawless and ultimately harming the entire society.

There is nothing wrong with Baba Hiroshi's plan. The only problem is that it is too inefficient. Not only does it require a lot of manpower and equipment, it also takes a lot of time.

If they were only dealing with this so-called Jesuit assemblies, then the problem wouldn't be that big of a problem. But they were dealing with more than just one Jesuit assemblies, so where would they have the time and manpower to deal with them step by step? If they invested too much in the Jesuit assemblies, then the other religions that were watching the fun would be very happy.

"Hiroshi Baba, how many religions are there in Tokyo? How many shrines and temples? What about the entire Neon?"

His question made Baba Hao immediately realize his shortcomings, and he lowered his head hastily: "God, I am stupid!"

At this time, Kawaguchi Rena had already walked down from the armored vehicle and walked up to the believers alone.

The young and delicate witch faced hundreds of protesters alone, some of whom were armed. This scene immediately made people nearby scream.

Wolf howls suddenly broke out, and the next moment, the huge body of the Inugami appeared out of thin air, standing in front of the crowd, staring at them majestically.

Such a scene made the believers feel guilty. After all, no matter how much their leader boasted, it was just something within their understanding. The huge monster in front of them... It was different from the police!

The Inugami roared again, and some children in the front row were frightened and started crying, while some elderly people's legs went weak and they fell down involuntarily. The human wall that seemed difficult to deal with at first suddenly loosened.

But the convoy did not take any action. Instead, they watched silently as Inugami bent down and let Kawaguchi Rena sit on its neck. Then it stood up and walked proudly towards the human wall under the gaze of everyone.

This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can understand and resist. Almost subconsciously, the human wall parted by itself to make way. At this time, accompanied by an inconspicuous order in the convoy, flower petals began to fall from the sky above Kawaguchi Rena's head. A holy column of light descended from the sky, enveloping her and making her look extremely sacred.

No words were needed anymore. The people who witnessed this scene from afar were so excited that they knelt down in front of Kawaguchi Rena.

The believers who had blocked her way became extremely confused and uneasy. This scene was completely different from what the leader had said before when he instigated them. Inugami walked through the crowd step by step and walked towards the high-ranking members of the Jesuit Order who were hiding behind the believers. They shouted loudly in fear and anxiety, trying to get the believers to take action. At this time, Kawaguchi Rena pointed her finger at them.

"Those who deceive the world will be punished by God!"

A raging fire suddenly appeared, enveloping the Jesuit leader and several elders. The crowd that had been surrounding them instantly scattered in fear. They screamed and struggled in despair, but after just a dozen seconds, they lost consciousness and fell down, turning into charcoal.

"God's grace is like the sea, and God's power is like a mountain!" Kawaguchi Reina said loudly. "Those who blaspheme will be punished! You fools, how long will you be deceived? Do you really want to fall into hell like them and suffer the pain of being burned by fire forever?"

The believers were completely frightened by the scene before them. Even if the enemy drove a tank in, they could continue to deceive themselves, telling themselves that they could enter heaven and enjoy God's blessings forever after dying a martyrdom.

But... this huge phantom of the dog god, this scene of falling flowers and holy light, and the miserable state of the leader and others... If you die here, can you really enter heaven?

What if they really are scammers?

Otherwise, why were they completely unable to fight back and died so easily, and why had they never performed any miracles like this before?

"Please forgive us! Please forgive us!"

Finally, someone knelt down, and then more and more people knelt down, frantically asking for God's forgiveness. At this time, the God-chosen warriors and fanatics on the bus finally got off the bus quickly. According to the previous arrangement of Kawaguchi Rena, they quickly controlled the situation. According to the list and photo information provided by the Zonglian, they found the remaining cadres of the Jesuit Order from the crowd and took them into the headquarters of the Jesuit Order.

Chapter 312: Close the Door and Kill the Pig

Kawaguchi Reina's previous arrangements should be very clear. After the fanatics and the chosen warriors took control of the situation, the people from the Zonglian followed up and began to find rooms on the spot to interrogate the remaining cadres of the Jesuit Order, looking for rosters, account books, asset lists and other documents, and immediately sealed up all the computers and storage devices of the Jesuit Order, put seals on them all, and packed them up and took them away.

The purpose of the interrogation was also quite clear. In addition to understanding whether the Jesuit Order had any secret bases or other emergency locations, and what their backers were, the main purpose was to interrogate them about their various assets, especially the assets of the leader and other high-level personnel.

Xiachuan felt a little puzzled at first, because the Xiachuan Society was not actually short of money, and as a shrine maiden, Kawaguchi Reina usually did not show any special desire for money. However, after a moment, he understood her intention and began to admire her.

The Kasumigawa-kai is indeed not short of money. It is foreseeable that after converting all the people of Japan into believers, even if it does not collect tithes like some religions, the Kasumigawa-kai should be able to become the richest group in the world relying solely on voluntary donations from believers and offerings when visiting shrines.

But at this moment, Xiachuan, as the ruler of Neon, really needs money.

The most central and prosperous areas of Tokyo were almost completely destroyed. Disaster relief, reconstruction, and economic revitalization all require massive investment.

After the war, Neon was able to quickly rise from the ruins because of the investment of the three major countries. But now, the United States, as the world's largest source of capital, has completely collapsed, and Daxia and Lucia themselves have also suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the inevitable collapse of the global economy. Neon, which is heavily dependent on imports and exports, will face huge difficulties. Whether it is the government or the private sector, all incomes will definitely shrink drastically!

There are hundreds of thousands of religions in Japan, with more than 200,000 temples, shrines and churches combined. Of course, there are many with only a few believers, some as poor as Sato Kentaro, and some barely making ends meet like the Nomiya family, but there are also many who are extremely wealthy and manage to defraud huge amounts of wealth from their believers every year.

The missionary license fee collected by the Zonglian from the Kasumigawa Association was 6 billion yen a year. The Kasumigawa Association, which did not cheat or extort the property of believers, easily earned more than 9 billion yen a year just by relying on the voluntary donations of believers! If the believers were taxed with tithes and forced to sell them various scriptures, amulets and items, the income could easily double!

By this calculation, the missionary license fees collected by the Federation of Religions from all religions in Japan every year are definitely more than 5 trillion yen, and the annual income of all religions in Japan is at least more than 15 trillion yen! Counting their accumulation over the years, and then counting the confiscated land, houses and other assets, there are at least hundreds of trillions of yen in assets, which is more than enough to rebuild Tokyo and boost the economy!

In this case, it is definitely worthwhile to take the wealth out of the pockets of these "heretics" and invest it in the construction of New Tokyo!

"Reina, well done!" Natsukawa immediately controlled the crows to fly over the crowd, making them gather into a huge figure of a scorpion, and praised Kawaguchi Reina in front of everyone. This strange sight once again made people kneel down and worship, and Kawaguchi Reina's face finally showed an expression other than indifference.

"Thank you for your praise!" She said loudly to the sky. The crows nodded at her, then dispersed and flew in different directions.

Sato Kentaro in the crowd felt a little bitter. The sky was falling, the holy light was shining, and the fire was slaying the evil. These were actually his work. The only thing that had nothing to do with him was the huge dog god. But he also knew that even if he was given the answer now and asked to go to another cult to do the same thing, he might not be able to achieve such a result.

What if the believers had not backed down, but had stood in front of the dog god? What if they had taken drastic actions from the beginning and not given him a second chance?

Those people were not fools, and it was impossible for them not to pay attention to what was happening here. If they still dared to struggle and resist, they would definitely come up with other ways, and what he lacked was precisely the ability and determination to break through the situation when faced with an emergency.

"The young are really to be feared!" He sighed softly. Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the reality.

He could only think positively. It was better for Kawaguchi Reina to take the position than for someone who appeared out of nowhere.

#####

"Kuroda Koji, notify all banks immediately to freeze the accounts of all religious corporations, freeze the personal accounts of all high-ranking members of the cult and the accounts of their close associates until I notify you otherwise! In addition, strengthen exit control, and no one suspected of being a high-ranking member of the cult will be allowed to leave the country!"

Natsukawa immediately issued a new order to Kuroda Koji, which filled an obvious gap for Kawaguchi Rena.

Kawaguchi Reina's previous actions had already prepared Kuroda Koji for this, and he asked one more question: "Yes, I will arrange it immediately! Lord God, do you want to adopt the same policy for all the high-ranking officials of the Yakuza?"

"Extreme?" Xia Chuan thought about it for a moment. They should be quite rich? Since it was ill-gotten gains, it was only right to use it to do some good deeds! "Let's do it together!"

"Yes!" Kuroda Koji acted quickly.

But this is a task that requires a large number of people to understand and execute, and the inertia and secret connections of all parties will not end immediately. Although he has strictly ordered confidentiality, the news spread quickly and immediately caused panic.

Combined with what Kawaguchi Rena had done before, everyone instantly came to a rather desperate conclusion.

Are they going to close the shop and kill pigs?!

But the person who kills the pig is someone that no one can afford to offend and absolutely dares to offend.

They can't even find any way to pass messages, lobby, plead or beg for mercy. Those who have no ways out can only sit and wait for death, while those who have ways out will mostly choose to leave immediately.

As the news leaked, in just a few hours before personnel sent by Akasaka and other institutions arrived at major banks, funds amounting to 100 trillion yen had been transferred out through various means. They also blocked dozens of high-ranking cult members who were trying to flee to a third country under false identities after disguising themselves at major airports. Before that, at least the same number of people had already escaped during the gap between the transmission and execution of orders.

"So much money was transferred in just a few hours. I guess I underestimated them. It doesn't matter. It just takes a little more effort." Facing Kuroda Koji's apology, Xia Chuan sneered. "I want to see which country dares to take them in now? Make a list and send it directly to the Special Management Bureau and the Cheka, and ask them to help get the people and the money back! We must see the bodies of the people alive or dead. As for the money, tell them that not a penny can be lost!"

Chapter 313 Dark Meeting

"Member list, income and asset ledgers, and list of protectors." Kiryu Ichiryu knelt on the tatami, with a long sword at his side, and said expressionlessly.

The narrow Japanese-style room couldn't accommodate too many people. Fortunately, Japan's yakuza organization itself was not complicated. Although the police had counted more than 3,000 violent groups, most of them could not escape the three major systems of the Togokukai, the Yamagata-gumi and the Keiyo-kai.

With the example of the clan alliance and the will of the gods conveyed by Kuroda Koji of Akasaka, the Yakuza bosses had to squeeze into this small house and wait for Kiryu Ichiryu's instructions no matter where they fled to or whether they were dead or alive. However, the current head of the Yamagata Group was still serving his sentence in Kobe, and the president of the Keiyokai had already fled with a few confidants and disappeared before Kuroda Koji's message, so the two major organizations had to be represented by the second-in-command.

As for the Togoku Association, which was once in chaos due to Natsukawa and Kiryu Ichiryu, after more than a year of chaos and infighting, it finally formed a situation where Ryuji Tani was the nominal president, and Honda Shengli and Baba Tsukumasa each led a group of people to form their own separatist forces. Under such circumstances, of course, the other two could not come to the door on their own, so the Togoku Association, which originally had many orders, only Ryuji Tani was present at this time.

The rest are the leaders of relatively independent large-scale yakuza organizations and gangs outside the three major organizations, numbering no more than seven or eight people in total.

"Yes!" The big guys who used to be so powerful and awe-inspiring in the dark world now lowered their heads like quails, and obediently agreed to Kiryu Kazuyu's orders.

In fact, they don't have a tight enough control over the branches below, and they don't have the influence that people think, that can kill the bosses with just one word. Just like Taniguchi Ryuji, he has no ability to order Honda Shengli and Baba Tsukumasa to hand over the list of members, and it is impossible for him to get the account books of the two. But at this time, no one would be stupid enough to jump out and sing the opposite tune and complain. Anyway, no matter what Kiryu Kazuya said, just agree to it first.

"Hand over 50 trillion within half a year, and 5 trillion every year thereafter. You can go over to the side and agree on the ratio later. I just want to know the final result." Kiryu Kazuyu continued.

The bosses' expressions became a little complicated, and they exchanged glances secretly with each other.

The Japanese Yakuza is well-known, but in terms of earning power, it cannot be compared with those religions. Take the Yamagata Group as an example. Even in their most glorious year, the gross income created by the entire system of more than 20,000 members was only 12 trillion, and they accounted for one-third of the Japanese Yakuza.

Not all of this money is turned over to the Yamagata Group headquarters. Each level below has to share the profits, and bribe all kinds of people to support the huge organization and the people who depend on them for survival. A rough calculation shows that the entire Japanese Yakuza takes out 5 trillion every year, which is not an easy task.

However, although it was painful, the hidden information revealed in it gave them peace of mind.

Those religions are obviously going to be slaughtered, but the Yakuza can continue to exist?

is this real?

"From now on, the Japanese Yakuza will completely separate from the political world and go underground." Kiryu Ichiryu said the third sentence. "You are not allowed to attack those with clean backgrounds, and you are not allowed to attack in public. If any reason causes news and arouses public opinion, I will kill the person who caused the trouble and break the legs of the person in charge of the relevant organization. If there is news of political cash and collusion between the black and white, I will kill both parties. That's it, you can go next door to discuss the proportion of donations."

There was silence in the Japanese-style room. Kiryu Ichiryu's intention to drive the guests away was clear, but the bosses gestured to each other and were unwilling to leave just like that.

Finally, it was Tani Ryuji, who nominally held the highest position, who had to speak first: "Master Kailong, er, please forgive us for being slow and unable to fully understand what you meant. Can you explain some things in more detail? Sir, it's not that we have any objection to your order, but we are worried that we may misunderstand and inadvertently do something contrary to your order."

He lowered his head very low, and the other big guys all followed him and lowered their heads, pressing their foreheads on the tatami.

"Any questions?" Kiryu Kazuyu finally asked.

"Many of our businesses rely on... well, the support of certain powerful people to continue. If we completely separate from them in the future, what will happen to these businesses?"

"All the white-related industries will be sold for cash. As for the dark world, as long as it does not violate the principles I stated before, I will handle it!"

Several big guys couldn't help but cough dryly.

Many of them have a lot of black-and-white businesses, so how can they just do it? However, if Kiryu Ichiryu really backs up their dark activities, they don't need to give money to those congressmen and senior officials, which would save a lot of money.

But is it that simple?

Also, it is understandable that they don't make moves in public, but how do you define not making moves against people with clean records?

The main industries of the Japanese Yakuza are nothing more than the old three, plus loan sharking, real estate, and some cultural industries, etc. Among these, which one can completely avoid dealing with people with clean backgrounds?

"You guys should think about the details, I'll only take care of the results. If there's any problem, you'll each bear the consequences." Kiryu Ichiryu interrupted their thoughts of asking more questions. "The dark world can continue to exist, but ordinary people can't feel its existence. This is the order of God."

Still confused, but seemed to understand something.

"Master Hailong, if the people below are pretending to obey but actually disobeying..." Taniguchi Ryuji suddenly asked. "I am really terrified! But you must also know something about the situation of the Dongji Society? Honda Shengli and Baba Tsukumasa, those two guys..."

Kiryu Ichiryu sneered, it was obvious that he wanted to use him to eliminate his competitor.

He should have immediately beheaded Ryuji Tani, then the other two men, and then let the Dongji Society elect a new leader.

However, although it would be refreshing to do so, it would inevitably lead to a new round of turmoil in the Dongji Society, which goes against the original intention of the Lord God.

And the newcomer might be even less able to handle the responsibility of managing tens of thousands of people in Dongji than Ryuji Tani.

He suddenly stood up. The bosses didn't know what was going on, but they saw a figure flash by, and Tani Ryuji groaned, and was kicked away by him. After knocking down several paper doors, he finally stopped by hitting a pillar.

Several gangsters waiting outside were knocked down, and the scene was in chaos.

Blood gushed out, and Ryuji Tani's left wrist had been cut off at some point!

"I'm going to kill them now." Kiryu Ichiryu said with a sneer. "Before I come back, you'd better have prepared everything I want. Also, next time before you do this, wash your neck and prepare the coffin."

Chapter 314 Prime Minister Selection

With the two giants of the Togokukai, Honda Katsuri and Baba Tsukumasa, being killed like rabbits one after another while fleeing, the day that had made many of Tokyo's former "powerful people" tremble with fear finally came to an end.

But the surge behind it became even more intense.
