From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Xia Chuan walked up to him, looked at the face that was distorted by fear, and wanted to burst the blood vessels in his head, but he didn't do it in the end.

[Kinoshita Takashi, you lost, but I decided to spare your life]

"Yes! Yes!" Kinoshita said repeatedly in surprise.

[If you tell anyone what happened today, I will kill your entire family immediately]

"No, I will never tell you!"

Xiachuan returned to Asakawa Manabu and quickly sobered him up.

[Your performance saved both of your lives]

"Thank you very much!" Asakawa Manabu's head was still a little dizzy, but he said it immediately.

[I am looking forward to your next performance]

"Yes." Asakawa Manabu said in a low voice.

[I am Xia Chuan. I will generously reward those who sincerely serve me. And those who betray me will also receive the due punishment.]

"Yes." Asakawa Manabu said again.

And Kinoshita hurriedly said loudly: "Yes! Don't worry, I will never..."

【Take care of yourself】

The screen went black, and the crow, which had run to the nearby bookshelf to watch the fight after they started, cawed, hopped along the shelf a few times, spread its wings, and flew out of the window.

The room fell into dead silence.

Kinoshita didn't dare to look at Asakawa Manabu, and after Asakawa came to his senses, he got up from the ground and began to pick up the items that fell on the ground.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"We are the police. Is there anyone inside?"

Kinoshita was nervous. Asakawa Manabu looked at him, walked over, pushed away the table blocking the door, and opened the door.

"Sorry, someone called the police and said they heard a fight. Are you here?" Standing at the door were two uniformed policemen.

"A mouse ran into the studio. We got scared and chased it everywhere. As a result... I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Rats?" The police could not accept such an answer. "Can we go in and take a look?"

"Go ahead." Asakawa Manabu made way.

Two policemen came in one after another and became more suspicious when they saw the scene in the house, but they checked everywhere carefully and found no victims, and of course no bodies.

"Your head?"

"I accidentally bumped into the table while chasing a mouse just now." Asakawa Manabu replied.

The policeman looked at the two men for a long time.

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

"No. We can handle it ourselves." Asakawa Manabu replied.

The policeman looked at Kinoshita Takaya, who also forced a smile and bowed.

Chapter 64: Tools Must Be Aware

After the police left, Asakawa Manabu continued to clean the room, while Kinoshita Takashi stood by awkwardly.

The two of them always kept a certain distance and did not talk to each other.

After what happened, it was impossible for the two to return to their previous relationship.

Interesting.

Xia Chuan thought so while hiding in the dark.

How will they continue to get along and cooperate in the future?

Such a relationship is actually the best outcome for a behind-the-scenes manipulator like him. Otherwise, if two tools with rich experience and resources join forces, it will not be so easy to control them.

He spared Kinoshita's life for this reason. Of course, more importantly, such people who fear death but have family ties are relatively easier to control, have more concerns, and are unlikely to take risks because the cost of betrayal is too high.

On the contrary, people like Asakawa Manabu are too rational, which makes them difficult to control and requires more sophisticated means.

But he can't always be surrounded by a bunch of idiots like Sato, Takahata and Yoshiyama. The consequence of relying on these guys is what it is now. He has to clean up their messes time and time again.

If an organization wants to develop, it must introduce more capable talents, and such people will definitely have stronger independent thinking ability and personal desires. Therefore, instead of worrying about how to check and balance at that time, it is better to start practicing now.

However, he did not expect the police to come so quickly. Perhaps it was because when he first scared Kinoshita, he was heard by the people downstairs, and the subsequent screams prompted the other party to call the police.

If Kinoshita had been killed before, then Asakawa Manabu would have been ruined. The situation at the scene would definitely make the police identify him as the murderer. In that case, even if Xiachuan wanted to keep his bottom line, he would have to take the worst option in the end.

I was indeed far-sighted. I realized this subconsciously and keenly avoided the worst outcome.

Is this what is called God's sixth sense?

Xia Chuan praised himself without blushing.

At this time, Kinoshita Takaya finally couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore. He hurriedly picked up his backpack, bowed deeply to Asakawa Manabu, and walked out quickly.

He hurried out of the elevator and trotted towards his car, but suddenly heard a "click" sound from the side.

Several crows landed on the nearby wall and were cawing loudly, as if they were fighting over something.

This was just the most common and ordinary scene, but Kimura felt that one of the crows seemed to be staring at him, which made his legs suddenly soften for no reason. He subconsciously saluted and then hurriedly climbed onto the car.

On the other side, Asakawa Manabu had already picked up most of the things that had fallen on the ground.

Three monitors were smashed and one console was broken, but compared to what happened before, these were nothing.

The dark screen suddenly lit up again.

[Full information about Kinoshita Takashi, including his family, the more detailed the better]

"I can't access the Internet now." Asakawa Manabu said subconsciously.

[He almost killed you, are you still going to cover it up for him? I forgot to tell you, I also asked him about you, guess what he said? ]

Asakawa Manabu froze for a moment, then sat down and quickly retrieved all the information about Kinoshita and his family from the database.

[You don't have to change your previous lifestyle, Asakawa. No one will interfere with your private life. However, you now have an additional task, which is to find out the clues about the sect and eliminate them before others find out. At the same time, pay attention to and reverse track those who try to investigate us, and warn the sect in time. Your achievements will be recorded and you will receive generous rewards. If you do well enough and remain humble and loyal to the gods, then, Asakawa, you will get rewards beyond your imagination.]

This sentence made Asakawa Manabu's face twitch slightly, but in the end he said nothing.

He sat quietly in the room for a long time, until it got dark outside, then he slowly stood up, took out another mobile phone from the cabinet, and also took out a spare Internet device.

Kinoshita Takashi was also sitting in the car, but he hadn't started the car yet. He was awakened by the sound of crows crowing outside.

In the end what happened?

What have I done?

He covered his face and pressed it hard, tears welling up involuntarily.

The street lights came on, and he finally calmed down and took out a spare cell phone from the tool box in front of the passenger seat.

"Ding Dong"

As soon as I turned on the computer, a line of words popped up on the screen.

[Detailed information about Asakawa Manabu, including his family, the more detailed the better]

"I never investigated him..."

[This is information provided by Asakawa Manabu]

The screen began to quickly input his detailed home address, his wife's name, his daughter's name, elementary school, his parents' names, and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law's names and detailed addresses.

Kinoshita slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

"I really... I only know that Asakawa Manabu is his pseudonym and his parents should have died long ago. As for the rest..."

[Go investigate. Secretly investigate everything about Asakawa Manabu. This is your first mission. Prove your loyalty and ability, and you will be richly rewarded. Otherwise...]

The information about his family began to be deleted quickly.

"I understand! I understand! I will get to the bottom of his affairs! Please let my family go! They have nothing to do with this matter!"

[I am looking forward to your performance, Kinoshita Takashi. Take care of yourself.]

#####

"My Lord God, let me report to you that today's income is 2.6 million! In addition, 19 more believers have joined us today!"

Faced with Sato Kentaro's excited face, Natsukawa was speechless.

Is it worth him being so happy to receive so little incense money and so few people on the day of praying?

Want to tell this idiot what happened before?

He would probably be so frightened that he wouldn't know what to do.

But he is just like that... It's like an exam, you can't force a poor student to get a perfect score.

Forget it. At least this idiot doesn't have any bad intentions or stupid ambitions, and he's diligent in his work. It's better not to use such things to scare or torture him.

【Sato】

"Yes!"

The way that the gods communicate with Kamo priest has long been changed to a laptop placed in front of the shrine, but as the priest, only he can enter the front of the shrine, receive oracles, and talk directly with the gods. This is also one of the special treatments given to him by Xiachuan.

[Don't be complacent. Have you ever thought about what happened to the person who came today? ]

"Yes." Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Sato's back.

Others don't know the dangers involved, but he has seen Akasaka working with his own eyes.

[That matter has been resolved, but I don't want it to happen again. I will reflect on what went wrong with my previous approach and how to change it. I will come up with a solid plan as soon as possible! ]

"Yes!" Sato knelt down deeply.

Chapter 65: Being a Minion

After entering December, the temperature gradually began to drop.

Probably because of the warm current, the temperature in Tokyo is indeed much warmer than that in the mainland at the same latitude. However, Natsukawa still prepared thick clothes, winter shoes and a lot of hot packs for Yui Aoki early on, which made her laugh.

"It's not that exaggerated. No one has yet..."

[Others are others, you are you. If your joints get cold, it will last a lifetime! ]

At this time, Xia Chuan could finally understand the feelings of his parents in his previous life who kept adding clothes to him, and completely ignored the fact that he could easily solve the so-called joint problems.

However, Yui Aoki's personality was such that she could not resist his kindness, so she wrapped herself up like a baby bear and soon became the object of ridicule among her classmates, which forced Natsukawa to compromise.

The girls’ high school students in Japan are really monsters. No, all the children in Japan are monsters!

Looking at a line of elementary school students still wearing skirts and shorts walking past him, Xia Chuan couldn't help but think so.

Fortunately, the elderly are still very afraid of death.

After the change of seasons, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also increased suddenly, which made Sato's work easier.

After receiving Xia Chuan's warning, he and several key members pondered for a few days and came up with a new plan. They began to extend their tentacles to further places, reduce the frequency of looking for development targets in the same hospital, and use more tested believers to find, examine and develop new people, thereby reducing the chances of exposure.

This new Shinto sect, which was disguised as the Chinese Qigong Institute, soon had nearly five hundred followers. Most of them quickly became devout believers in the face of real miracles and a relaxed donation policy. The amount of spiritual power Xia Chuan received increased every day, to the point where he no longer had to calculate carefully when using his spiritual power.

Every formal believer can get a talisman infused with ten strands of spiritual energy, which allows Xia Chuan to switch his position among the believers at any time according to his own wishes.

There were hundreds of mice that were fed the same amulet infused with ten strands of spiritual energy. They were scattered around the shrine and the training center, moving freely and only gathered together when they were fed in the evening every day.

Crows, which can be seen in many places in Tokyo, are actually more useful and less likely to be discovered, but birds are much more difficult to control and train than mice.

Xia Chuan trapped and released dozens of crows carrying ten-ray amulets as mobile observation points. Among them, only five showed good obedience and were tamed by Xia Chuan as pets. They all swallowed the amulets made by Aoki Yui and were trained to control them every day when they were free, ready to take on more important roles when needed.

On this day, Kinoshita Takashi finally called, and Natsukawa immediately switched to his side. He touched the amulet that Natsukawa had asked Takahata to send him with some uneasiness, and reported in a low voice: "I traced the account that Asakawa Manabu had transferred money to me before, and found another account he often used. Then, I found that the account would transfer money to a nursing home every two months. It took me a lot of effort to find out who the money was paid to."

【who is it? 】

The phone in front of him suddenly lit up.

"That's the girl in the wheelchair in front of us," Kinoshita Takashi said, putting down the phone in his hand. "Her name is Kawaguchi Reina, she's 17 years old this year. Two years ago, she was in a traffic accident and her spine was damaged, and her lower limbs were paralyzed. I checked and found that her parents also died in the accident. The driver was unable to pay compensation, and the insurance could not cover all the expenses. At one point, relatives had to help sell their house to maintain her treatment. Now it should be Yukawa Manabu who is paying for her treatment."
