From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Nakai was the first one who didn't believe it.

How is that possible! He clearly saw Kamiya Hiro go in, and then he never came out!

"Are you guys..." He didn't care about anything else and rushed into the convenience store. But apart from the clerk and two or three customers who had a terrified look on their faces and were holding phones obviously preparing to call the police, there was no sign of Hiroshi Kamiya at all.

How can it be?

Nakai's heart suddenly sank.

There must be a backdoor!

But...really not.

"You, you please get out quickly! Otherwise, I'm going to call the police!" The guy who looked like the store manager warned nervously.

The thugs pushed the things on the shelves to the ground, snorted, and dragged Nakai out.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you saw him? Where is he?"

Nakai was quickly dragged to the alley where they had planned to beat up Hiroshi Kamiya. Several thugs were furious. It turned out that nothing was wrong, but was this guy treating them like fools?

This place is also strange. I don’t know why, but I feel particularly irritable and easily angry when I’m here.

"It must be..." Nakai didn't know what to say.

I clearly saw him walk in!

"Are you mentally ill?" One of the thugs had run the fastest and was the first to come back, which made him the most upset, so he walked up to Nakai and kept poking his finger at his head, saying loudly. "You're kidding us? Huh?"

"I'm sorry, but I clearly..." Nakai subconsciously dodged and explained, and this action suddenly made the gangster angry.

Still dare to hide?

He suddenly punched Nakai hard in the stomach, causing him to bend over in pain and unable to straighten up for a long time. Then he punched him in the face again, causing him to fall to the ground.

Several thugs started laughing.

"Nakai..." Samejima sighed and shook his head. "What medicine did you take wrong?"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I really am..." Nakai said desperately on the ground, but he didn't know that his behavior made the violent rage in the thugs' hearts even stronger.

Since you're going to beat him up anyway, why not just beat him up?

"What's the point of apologizing?" The thug from before grabbed him from the ground and kneed him in the chest again, causing him to fall backwards again. This made the other thugs laugh, and several of them suddenly became itchy.

For people like them, there doesn't need to be any special reason to beat someone up.

I don't like you, you are weak, or you came up to me and I just happened to be itching to do something.

"Forget it!" Samejima resisted the urge to kick him for some unknown reason. "Pay 100,000 yuan for labor tomorrow, and we'll forget about this. Pay 100,000 yuan every week from now on, understand?"

"Mr. Samejima?" Nakai couldn't believe his ears.

"What? Why do you think so many of us came to play with you for two days? And you just give us away for such a small amount of money?" Samejima picked his ear with his little finger.

He has already figured out this guy's background. He is just a gangster in school. He came up to him on his own. Does he think he can just walk away so easily?

He probably has no money, but there are so many students in this school. As long as we can control him, wouldn't it be nice to get some money from him every now and then?

It is a taboo for the Yakuza to enter the school, and they will be easily targeted by the police. But this guy is originally a student in the school, what does he have to do with their Samejima Group?

"You just need to report our name. We'll charge one or two thousand per student, and you might even make some money. What's wrong with that? When you graduate, you can join our Samejima Group and be a junior officer. How about that?"

Nakai was stunned. He never expected that the helper he hired would end up like this.

"What do you mean?" He was pulled up from the ground again and punched hard in the face again, causing blood to flow from his nose. "The boss rarely speaks, and this is your reaction?"

"I..." Nakai was already in despair.

At this moment, someone behind the crowd suddenly shouted in surprise: "You..."

Then there was a scream.

People turned around and saw a boy in Aoba High School uniform standing at the entrance of the alley, licking his ice cream cone and looking at them curiously.

On the side of the road beside him, a member of the Samejima group was hunched over on the ground, his face flushed red, but he couldn't even scream.

"Eh? Did I bother you? It's okay, I'm just passing by. Just continue and ignore me."

"You bastard!" The thug closest to him swung his fist at him, but only the shadow of his legs was seen shaking. Then, he flew out and hit another guy, and both of them fell to the ground together.

Everyone was stunned.

For some reason, even though there was only one person on the other side, they all suddenly felt a fear of facing a monster.

"Who are you?" Samejima secretly grabbed the sashimi knife hidden in his clothes. "What do you want to do?!"

"Aren't you looking for me? I'm Hiroshi Kamiya!" Xiachuan said with a smile.

Chapter 29 A Carefully Planned Encounter

Screams, groans, all kinds of curses, and weak threats, in the end, only groans of pain were left.

Nakai lay on the ground, holding his head with his hands, and felt someone flying out without a care, hitting the wall, the ground, and even objects on the roadside heavily. The fear in his heart was beyond words.

Such a scary guy, and I actually want to find someone to break his legs?

The footsteps finally stopped in front of him.

Nakai was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble, and he couldn't even utter the words to beg for mercy.

"Samejima Group, right? I don't want to see you around here anymore, and I don't want to hear about anyone from Aoba High School being beaten up by you. Is that a problem?" Hiroshi Kamiya said.

There was dead silence and no one answered.

Nakai heard Kamiya Hiroshi laugh, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.

The voices of the thugs around him finally grew louder, and Nakai suddenly became frightened.

Are these guys going to vent all their anger on me?

He raised his head and saw that Xiachuan had disappeared at the alley entrance. Zhongjing then tried his best to get up and desperately ran towards the alley entrance.

I am still too soft-hearted.

Xia Chuan listened to his footsteps running away in the opposite direction, sighed and shook his head.

Well, it’s about time, so I’ll treat myself today!

He hummed a song all the way, while paying close attention to the actions of the tools.

Everything seemed to be running smoothly without any problems.

The Natsukawa sect, the Kiryu group, the Corpse Organization, and Asakawa Manabu all seemed to have no problems. Even Kinoshita Takashi had already found an insect extermination company and was negotiating with them about borrowing vehicles and tools.

Maybe tomorrow the termites will have eaten through the floor of that house, and they will have to call an exterminator to help. At that time, these things will come in handy.

This is probably the benefit of doing good deeds every day?

Thinking of this, Xia Chuan finally arrived at the place he had been thinking about for a long time but had never been able to go to.

"Welcome!" Yui Aoki's voice rang out.

"Eh?" It's time to show off your acting skills again. "Aoki-san, are you working here part-time?"

Yui Aoki was also a little surprised. This place was not far from their apartment, but not close either. How did he find this place?

"My classmates strongly recommended this restaurant to me, saying that the food there is very delicious. I never expected to meet you here!" Xia Chuan showed a frank and happy expression.

"Yui, is this someone you know?" Matsushige Goro looked at Natsukawa with suspicion from behind the newspaper, but the person who asked this question was one of the regular customers of Tsuru Manor.

"Yes, it's the neighbor of the apartment." Aoki Yui had come back to her senses by now. "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Xia Chuan took the hot towel from her and looked around while wiping his hands.

From the perspective of a customer, the feeling of sitting here is really completely different, especially the smell of food, which really makes every pore of the body feel refreshed. Of course, what makes him even more comfortable is enjoying Yui's service.

However, the most important thing for him is that after this "encounter", he can come to this place frequently and legitimately.

Anyway, he lives alone and is too lazy to cook. He knows there is an izakaya with good food, which is also where his neighbor works, so he comes here often. Isn't this a very reasonable and logical thing to do?

It was too unnatural and too cheap to "encounter" by chance at the school gate. First, we became a regular customer, got familiar with each other, and then slowly started to accompany Yui back, and finally... the plan worked!

"Here's the menu." Aoki Yui placed a simple list in front of him. This was a new change. Tsuruso didn't have this before. Was it Matsushige Goro's compromise with reality?

Although he already knew what Matsushige's most popular dish was, it was his first time here after all, so he could only choose honestly according to the personality.

"You're handsome, young man." The regular customer sitting next to him took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him. This old man can really strike up a conversation with anyone. "Are you a high school student?"

"Second year of high school." Xia Chuan was also very familiar with him, but he could only show appropriate wariness and unfamiliarity.

"Eh? Isn't that the same size as Yui? How about considering our Yui?"

This wasn't the first time he had made such a joke, but Xia Chuan had never thought he was so cute.

However, the expression in this situation is really too high-end. What kind of expression should he use to face such a question? Happy? Surprised? Shy? Go with the flow or appropriately distance himself from it? Given his current status and relationship with Yui, what kind of expression can appropriately show his affection without being too abrupt?

In the end, he could only pretend to wipe his face with a towel, while Aoki Yui gently tapped the old man's back with the tray in her hand.

"Uncle!"

"Hahaha." The purpose of the regular customer was just to see her shy and embarrassed. He didn't care about the performance of Xiachuan, a stranger. Only Matsujugoro secretly observed Xiachuan's expression through the gap behind the newspaper.

"Excuse me, Aoki-san, I want one serving of secret beef rice, one serving of grilled eel, one serving of mixed skewers, and one serving of beef tendon."

"Yes. Please wait a moment." Yui Aoki was already very skilled. She wrote down the order immediately and came over to take away the menus and towels.

"Is this your first time here, little brother? I see you're pretty good at ordering." The regular customer next to him started to make small talk again. "But can you eat so much?"

"Well, since my classmates recommended this place to me, I ordered the dishes they recommended."

While Xia Chuan chatted with him intermittently, he continued to observe the layout of Xinhe Manor.

There was no other way. If he didn't do this, he would not be able to help but look at what Yui was doing, or look at Matsushige, but the way that guy looked at him was full of murderous intent. Could it be that there was something in this place that would trigger negative emotions in people?

The house is newer than the previous place and is almost twice as large, so naturally, there are more tables.

There was a TV in each corner, playing different news programs. The sound was not turned on, just to help bored drinkers pass the time.

The handwritten menus on the walls were gone, the various wine brands were gone, and even the paper lanterns on the ceiling were gone, but the people inside seemed to have not changed at all. This strange, unfamiliar and yet familiar feeling was really a bit wonderful.

At this time, Yui Aoki brought up the side dishes. Just as Natsukawa said thank you, the bell at the door rang and a few people walked in.

"Welcome!" Yui Aoki said hurriedly.

"Yui, get us two bottles of beer and two bottles of sake. I want grilled beef tongue, mixed skewers, and wasabi octopus. What about you?"

The person who was speaking was Daisuke Sasaki, and with him were Tachibana Koichi and Aoshima... It's true, life is full of encounters.

Chapter 30 Another big shot died

Judging from the way these guys can order without a menu, it must be not their first time here.

This made Xia Chuan a little alert.

Since Tsuruso is right next to the headquarters that was destroyed earlier, is it also being targeted by Akasaka without making a sound?

Could it be that Kentaro Sato's previous clever actions to protect Yui Aoki had already been seen by Akasaka and became a loophole that exposed the sect and linked them to the Skeleton Society?

These idiots!

Natsukawa couldn't help but want to scold Sato immediately and ask him to investigate the area around and inside the sect to see if there were any Akasaka spies.

But at this time, Yui Aoki had already brought up the food he ordered one after another.

"Please use."

"Thank you." Xia Chuan said to her with a smile.

Calm down, it's not that bad.

First of all, the most advantageous point at the moment is that he has gained freedom and is no longer restricted to a certain place. Moreover, this body gives him the ability to transform into anyone.

No one knows his true identity, even Kiryu Ichiryu only knows a little bit, and he will never betray Natsukawa.

On the other hand, even if Akasaka already knew that Yui was a shrine maiden of the Skeleton Society, they would never be able to understand the significance of Yui.

The three sisters of the Nomiya family are also shrine maidens, Inaba Rika is also a shrine maiden, and Kawaguchi Rena is also a shrine maiden. In a sense, from Akasaka's perspective, if they were all really exposed, the attention on Kawaguchi Rena would probably be much higher than that on the shrine maiden Yui Aoki who works in an izakaya every day and is not doing her job.

It is possible that they are already monitoring Tsuruso, Yui, or even the sect, but monitoring does not mean strict control, and he still has enough room to take action.
