From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

This can't go on like this!

A few minutes later, he rushed into the station bathroom and muttered to himself in front of the mirror.

Being handsome is a good thing, but if you attract too much attention...

I never thought that I would have such troubles.

Chapter 4 Black gloves are still useful

I really don't want to, but... staying alive is more important.

There were not many people coming in and out of the station toilet at this time of day. Xia Chuan stood in front of the mirror, changing his appearance bit by bit.

After all, this body is something similar to a soul jade, or it can be said to be a large-sized soul jade. Therefore, it can conceal the overflow of spiritual power like a soul jade, and it can definitely change its shape like a soul jade.

The reason why so much time was wasted was because Xia Chuan was reluctant to part with his own face.

But in the end, he managed to become generally handsome through some small changes.

He was unwilling, really unwilling, but he knew better that as an extraordinary person, unless he could be like Kamio Hitomi and be willing to endure the extreme inconvenience that could almost be said to be confinement, then he had to make a choice. He must not allow himself to become a person that people would never forget, and then walk around with such a face.

But being able to make such a choice is one thing, and being able to accept it calmly is another.

Natsukawa even forgot to have a good meal. He got on the Shinkansen in a depressed mood and returned to Tokyo.

The first place he went to was the North District, which was chaotic enough in itself. There were many illegal immigrants who had smuggled in from Southeast Asia and worked here for a long time. There were many hotels and apartments that allowed long-term stays without proof of identity, and there was even a whole industry dedicated to solving various problems for the illegal immigrants.

However, Natsukawa's purpose of coming here is not to turn himself into an illegal resident at the bottom of Japanese society, but to come here to determine the situation of Kiryu Ichiryu.

The office of the Kiryu Group seemed normal. Just like before, several low-level thugs were squatting at the door, smoking and chatting, acting as doormen.

Xiachuan walked around and didn't see anyone from Akasaka, so he found a pay phone nearby and made a call.

"Hello?" Few people would call this number, so it was Kiryu Kazuryū who answered the call himself.

"Kanazawa Atsushi, do you want to live again?" Xiachuan asked.

Those were the words that Natsukawa wrote on the ground when Kiryu Ichiryu fell to the lowest point in his life.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, Kiryu Ichiryu asked, "Who are you? What do you want me to do?"

"Leave here and find a quiet place where you won't be easily discovered." Xia Chuan said.

These are also the words he wrote on the ground at that time.

The phone hangs up.

A few seconds later, Kiryu Ichiryu came downstairs wearing an inconspicuous outfit. The thugs at the door immediately went up to him in a flattering manner, but he ignored them completely.

Miike chased after our cadres, but Kiryu Ichiryu just turned around and gave them a cold look. They all subconsciously took a step back, then bowed heavily and watched Kiryu Ichiryu leave alone.

Even if you are in the underworld, you are not free.

Natsukawa sighed as he watched Kiryu Ichiryu walk past him.

Afterwards, he followed from a distance, observing the people and cars around him to make sure that Kiryu Kazuryū was not being followed or tracked by anyone.

The two walked two or three kilometers one after the other. Kiryu Ichiryu walked into a multi-story parking lot. Natsukawa waited at the door for a few minutes and followed him in.

Kiryu Ichiryu was smoking on the third floor. Xiachuan walked around him, and after confirming for the last time that there was nothing unusual, he walked straight towards him.

"It's you?"

Xia Chuan nodded.

He waved his hand gently, and a crow flew in from outside, landed directly on his arm, spread its wings and flapped them, then said: "Kiryu, what happened in the three months we were away?"

"Nothing unusual." Kiryu Ichiryu answered while staring at Natsukawa.

"What's the current situation at Nishioku Shopping Street? Is Akasaka targeting you?" Natsukawa continued to ask through the crow.

The shrine is hidden in that place, and the Kiryu Group owns a large amount of real estate in that area. It is impossible for Akasaka to ignore such an obvious problem.

"That street is half destroyed and the people have moved away," Kiryu Ichiryu answered. "People from Akasaka came to see me once, but I didn't say anything and they didn't arrest me. They just watched me for more than a month and then withdrew the people. That area has now been forcibly expropriated by them, and they said they want to build a park, but I haven't been there for a long time."

"Where's Aoki Yui? Is she being targeted too?"

Kiryu Ichiryu should not have known Aoki Yui's identity at first, but at that time Natsukawa had to order him to protect her, and he also witnessed with his own eyes the process of her biting her finger to draw a magic circle to summon the gods, so he should have known her true identity, or at least guessed part of it.

"I intentionally distanced myself from her. Akasaka probably didn't associate me with her. The witnesses that day didn't reveal anything about her."

This is the benefit of filling the area around the shrine with believers.

Judging from Kiryu Kazuyuki's expression, he should have more or less guessed that there was something fishy about their identities, but Natsukawa was not prepared to explain.

Some things are meaningless if they are made clear.

They did it very secretly at the beginning, and those chosen to rent those houses were all believers carefully selected by Sato. Of course, the key thing is that Kawaguchi Rena has been performing miracles to maintain the faith of the believers.

What happened that day should not have caused them to lose their faith and betray the sect. It seems that Akasaka should not know the existence of this secret sect.

However, Xia Chuan decided to carefully investigate from the outside.

"You haven't been paying attention to her situation?"

"No, I just know that she is still alive, not injured and not involved in this incident."

A very wise choice.

"We are very pleased with your performance." He then released the crow and spoke on his own. "You once asked how you could have such power. Do you still think so now?"

Kiryu Ichiryu's breathing became a little heavier, and then he nodded silently.

Xiachuan once traded some spells from monsters. Although he only successfully used a few of them, that was mostly because he was in a spirit state at the time and those spells were not applicable to him.

Things are different now.

If he could successfully master these spells, then he wouldn't mind letting Kiryu Ichiryu give it a try.

"I will give you the reward as soon as possible." Xia Chuan said. "I need an identity so that I can live a normal life like an ordinary person. But the key is to keep it secret and not attract attention. No one except you can know about this identity. Can you do it?"

"It's a bit difficult at this age." Kiryu Ichiryu said. "It takes time. How can I contact you?"

"Is the magatama still there?" Xia Chuan asked. "We will be able to resume the call soon."

Chapter 5 A Surprise Meeting

To survive in the dark world like Kiryu Ichiryū, one actually doesn't need any identity.

Anyway, most of the time, the Yakuza use cash. Even if they want to invest in something, they can use the gambler who owes loan sharks as the legal person to take the blame, and they are not afraid that the other party will take the money and run away. As for other aspects, he doesn't get married, doesn't have children, and doesn't even travel, so there is no chance of using the identity.

But Xia Chuan was not prepared to live like him.

I finally have a body again. If I don’t experience life again, I would feel guilty for all the inconveniences I have to endure because of this body.

Not only do you need an identity, but it must also be legal, so that you can do whatever you want without being targeted or suspected.

Xiachuan knew that the Yakuza most often used the ID cards of those who had pledged their identities as collateral because they owed loan sharks, and most of those people were middle-aged or elderly people who had lost hope in life, which was why Kiryu Kazuryū said, "It's a bit difficult at this age."

However, Xia Chuan was not planning to take only this path.

Many people go missing in Neon every year.

To avoid debt, escape from current life, commit suicide, or even be secretly eaten by monsters, he only needs to find such a person, who is about the same age as himself, with a clean family background, preferably with both parents dead and no contact with relatives, and who looks a little like himself.

Although he can also transform into the appearance of other people, he still prefers to use his own face. Otherwise, at some point in the future he will inevitably feel like someone has given him a hat.

After watching Kiryu Ichiryu leave, Xiachuan waited for a while before walking in another direction.

For some reason, he went to Harajuku, which was said to have the most scouts. He bought a cup of milk tea there and walked back and forth on the street looking at girls for two hours. As a result, he saw four or five girls being approached by a creepy middle-aged man who claimed to be a scout, but he himself was ignored.

The ups and downs of life came too suddenly. Although this also proved that he had "successfully" changed his appearance and had accomplished the purpose of coming to this place, this psychological gap was really...

"Um..." Just as he was about to leave, a man who looked very cool finally spoke to him.

Eh?

So, gold will always shine. Even if you intentionally lower your looks, your inner temperament will still be there...

"Hey, you look pretty good, would you like to work in our club? As long as you're willing to work hard, you can earn a lot of money!"

Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment.

"But, your appearance... mainly your taste in clothes and your hairstyle..." The gigolo said pickily, and suddenly got punched in the face, blood all over his face, tears and snot all poured out. By the time he recovered and screamed, Xia Chuan had already blended into the crowd and walked away.

When I've never been to this place.

Xia Chuan said to himself.

These people are so superficial.

He took out the cell phone he had gotten from the gigolo and called Kinoshita Takaya.

"Who?" His voice sounded cautious.

“Are there any nuts?”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then he cursed, "Are you crazy?"

hang up.

Well, it seems that this guy has completely forgotten the scene of our first meeting.

Xia Chuan had no choice but to dial the number again.

"What do you want to do? If you dare to call me again, I will call the police!" Kinoshita Takaya warned loudly.

"Ten minutes, choose one of two, either both of you die, or the winner survives. Kinoshita Takashi, did you win?"

There was silence again on the other end of the phone. After a few seconds, Kinoshita Takashiya seemed to have moved to a quieter place and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"You must have been idle for a long time, right?" Xia Chuan asked. "It's time to move."

Kinoshita Takashi also seemed to sigh over there. No one had contacted him for three months, and he probably thought he had gotten away from that kind of life.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You still remember Kawaguchi Reina, right?"

"Yes."

"She is now one of the important members of the place you were targeting before. For some reason, we need you to investigate them secretly to confirm whether they are being targeted by Akasaka or the police."

"Myself?"

"Yes, you will conduct the investigation independently," Xia Chuan said. "As before, keep it strictly confidential and do not leave any written records."

"I understand." Kinoshita Takashi also sighed secretly.

But fortunately, such a mission shouldn’t be dangerous?

"I'm calling you on this number?"

"No, I will contact you actively." Xia Chuan quickly hung up the phone, broke it into several pieces, destroyed the phone card inside, and then threw it into the garbage dump on the side of the road.

One more thing to do is completed, so...

Xia Chuan called a taxi and asked the driver to take him directly to Beifeng Girls' High School.

The time is just right.

Because there are club activities, there are actually not many girls coming out of school during this period.

Natsukawa immediately spotted Yui Aoki pushing her bicycle outside. There were a few girls chatting with her next to her, but most of the time, she just walked silently by herself, responding to other people's topics from time to time.

She may not be the most beautiful one, but in Xia Chuan's eyes, she is undoubtedly the most unique one.

"What's the name of the one with long hair tied in a ponytail? Do you know?"

"I think his name is Aoki. What? Are you interested in him?"

Natsukawa's attention was suddenly attracted by this conversation. He turned around and found that they were boys who looked full of energy. One of them had the words "Adachi Miyagi Gakuen" embroidered on his school uniform.

A school I've never heard of, a school that's obviously filled with scum with no future, yet they dare to covet my Yui?

"She's average looking and her breasts aren't big either." said a guy who looked like an ape.

Today next week will be your seventh day!

"What do you know!" The guy who had no self-awareness before patted Xia Chuan on the head. "What's good about big breasts? Cuteness is the most important thing!"
