From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

The next few days were uneventful.

After Chisue Moriyama, Nakai also chose to be absent for a long time. I don’t know whether he was afraid of being in trouble with Natsukawa or being sought for revenge by the yakuza.

In Xia Chuan's opinion, there was no need for him to do this, as long as he didn't seek death. As a god, he was not so bored as to take an ordinary high school student as a target of revenge.

Moreover, he usually does not bear grudges in such situations, because he will take revenge on the spot if there is any grudge.

The charter of the Dongda Victory Club was quickly approved, and since the number of members had reached the required number, it seemed that it was no longer a problem to establish it. However, there were still some details to be determined, such as the arrangement of the activity room, the allocation of daily facilities and items, the application of funds, and the instructor. Xiachuan simply "promoted" Kenta Sano, who had already completely relied on him, to the position of deputy director, and let him handle all these trivial matters.

"Nothing matters, as long as there is a big enough activity room with tables, chairs and benches." After being a god for a long time, Xia Chuan hated these behaviors that wasted time and energy on trivial matters. "The key is to establish the club first, and everything else doesn't matter. We can just do it slowly in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Kenta Sano nodded vigorously.

"Well, I'm on the rooftop. If you have any questions that you can't make up your mind about, just come up to me or ask me on Line."

"Yes, please leave everything to me!" said Sano.

It is difficult for Xiachuan to understand the thinking of Japanese people.

No one wants to be a monitor or a class cadre because they think it is too troublesome and thankless. The so-called monitor finds it difficult to command his classmates and they even have to take turns every day like a monitor, under the guise of cultivating each student's sense of responsibility and leadership ability and establishing an equal and free class atmosphere.

But everyone is particularly enthusiastic about things like clubs. It seems that it is natural for seniors to order juniors around, and for those who join a club first to order those who join later. It is not uncommon for seniors to scold juniors at every turn and to "teach them a lesson". However, everyone enjoys doing it and is willing to do so.

Maybe Sano is so excited because he can command nine first-year students?

Never mind.

Like the protagonist in the legend, Xia Chuan ran to the small platform on top of the rooftop entrance to sleep in the sun.

It's not that he likes to go to high places to enjoy the fresh air when he has nothing to do, but it's too troublesome to go back at this time. It's better to stay in school until dinner time and then go directly to Hezhuang. On the other hand, he can also pay attention to the situation of his tools without being affected by anything at this time, and control the crows to fly around the school. While controlling the situation, he also makes the people in this place accustomed to this scene.

The sect is still conducting strict self-examination. Although everything is just Xiachuan's speculation, Sato Kentaro seems to be determined to find and eliminate the hidden dangers that make the God uneasy.

On the other hand, the work of selecting the priestess was also carried out simultaneously.

Before this, Natsukawa specially took some time to look at the shrine maiden candidates who had passed the preliminary selection, and couldn't help but sigh that Sato Kentaro was indeed an LSP. All the girls he picked out were beautiful, and most of them were high school girls.

Did Kawaguchi Reina's example make him mistakenly believe that the prettier and younger the girl, the more talented she is? Or is this guy simply abusing his power for personal gain and liking to see young and beautiful girls around him?

What corruption! What depravity!

However, Xia Chuan did not stop him from doing so, but just found an opportunity to hint to him not to set the age range too rigidly.

Junior high school students are fine, but college students can also be considered. After all, the entire sect has only more than 30,000 believers, and most of them are elderly. According to his previous standards, how many candidates can he finally pick? He can't just pick one and say it's a waste, right?

Naturally, Sato always understood and executed any instructions or hints from the God 100%, and the number of candidates immediately increased by seven or eight. This also made Kawaguchi Rena, who was responsible for the initial training of the shrine maiden candidates, feel a little pressure.

After all, she was still very confident in front of her peers, but facing college students who were in their prime years...

"Every move must be correct! Expression, manners, and most importantly, piety! Don't forget that we serve the only true God in this world. He will see every move and thought of yours! You must complete even the smallest task with a meticulous attitude!"

She walked slowly beside the shrine maiden candidates with a bamboo sword in her hand, and when she saw someone whose movements were not up to standard or whose demeanor was lax, she would strike them hard.

Do you still dare to stick out your chest? Is it a big deal to have big breasts?

"Tummy!"

Is it too harsh?

Xia Chuan was a little surprised.

When she first became a shrine maiden, she didn't do any of these weird things.

Sure enough, in this hellhole of Neon, no matter who you are, once you become a senior and have juniors to command, you will burst out with unlimited potential, 100% awaken the soul of a stepmother, and will find ways to torture the newcomers even if you have nothing to do.

Horrible, really terrible.

As for the Mukuro Agency... the interesting thing is that there are also new people there, and there are quite a lot of them, a total of fifteen people, all of whom are agents temporarily transferred from various departments in Akasaka by Tachibana Hiroichi and Kimoto according to Kuroda Koji's orders to support this investigation.

For cases of this level, more personnel should have been assigned to form an investigation headquarters, but due to the special nature of the Corpse Agency, the fewer people involved, the better, both for themselves and for the people of the Corpse Agency, so, in the end, these fifteen people were selected.

The people selected under this premise are certainly not newcomers. On the contrary, they are all talented people who can stand on their own in various departments of Akasaka.

In a sense, compared to them, Tachibana Koichi and Kimoto Juri are the younger generations.

But this place is not Akasaka, but the Corpse Agency, and Tachibana Hiroichi and Kimoto are the liaisons assigned by Ishino Shinjiro. They are in charge of this case, which will actually be solved by the Corpse Agency.

When it comes to handling abnormal events, the guys at the Corpse Agency are all newcomers. But this time, they have to take the lead and be deeply involved in the investigation.

Ishino Shinjiro and Kuroda Koji had repeatedly emphasized in advance that this was the quickest way to solve the problem.

With Akasaka's power, it is not completely impossible to find the real culprit behind the two cases, but firstly, it takes time, and secondly, it takes opportunity. One month is impossible no matter how you look at it.

Their only chance to break the impasse is to involve the Skeleton Society in the dispute again, and then, like before, use the Skeleton Society's powerful investigative power to find the hidden mastermind. At the very least, they must create a situation where they are about to solve the problem, and win enough points for Akasaka and Ishino Shinjiro to overcome this difficulty.

"Inaba, please give a speech to the newcomers." Tachibana Hiroichi said with a little embarrassment.

Theoretically, Inaba Rika is the head of the Corpse Organization, and she is also their most powerful bargaining chip to shift the blame to the Corpse Society.

Chapter 40 Oracle

"Master Haizhai, please tell me what I should do."

Inaba Rika was not unaware of Akasaka's thoughts, but after the Corpse Organization was destroyed by the Styx Society and Corpse Vision and Corpse Rin were missing, it was Akasaka who took them in and protected them. And they will definitely need to continue to cooperate with Akasaka now and in the future, and accept Akasaka's support and protection. From a moral and logical point of view, and even from the perspective of the Corpse Organization's survival, she has no reason to refuse.

What's more, the attitude of Akasaka's top management is very sincere.

They don't need to bear any responsibilities, all they have to do is give it their all.

But... Inaba Rika also understood very well what the foundation of their existence was.

Behind all of Akasaka's actions is the existence of the Skeleton Society.

What will Akasaka do if they can no longer get in touch with the gods and can no longer borrow power from them?

She didn't want to think about this, but she also knew that once their actions touched the fundamental interests of the Skeleton Society and the gods abandoned them and cut off their favor, they would have nothing and be nothing.

She didn't dare, nor did she want to take on such a heavy responsibility, and could only pray to Haizhi again and again, hoping that He would give her clear and specific orders like He did three months ago.

No matter how difficult or dangerous those orders are, they are better than the current situation, right?

"Master Haizhai, what should we do?"

Natsukawa listened to Inaba Rika's prayers, her distress, her reports and analysis of the current situation, and even the fear she inadvertently revealed, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

This is probably what leaders dislike most: subordinates who are unwilling to take any responsibility or risk even though they have been given space, resources, and authority, and someone has covered for them. Xia Chuan is clearly not the kind of superior who seeks credit and shirks responsibility, and he has cleaned up messes for the tools more than once or twice.

Even a troublemaker like Nomiya Wakana is still alive and well today. With such an example, I really don't know where her uneasiness comes from.

In fact, whether she resolutely defends the interests of the Skeleton Society or completely leans towards Akasaka, it is not a completely unacceptable result for Natsukawa.

However, she chose to be indecisive and hesitant, which was really infuriating. Therefore, if a tool person lacks ambition, desire and belief, and lacks the motivation to move forward, then he is not a qualified tool person.

Now it seems that Rika Inaba is still okay as an executor, but as an independent decision-maker, she does have serious shortcomings.

It's time to change the person in charge of the Corpse Agency.

Unfortunately, Nomiya Wakana has already proved with her strength that she can't get away with it, so Natsukawa can only turn his attention to Nomiya Kana again.

She behaved relatively well during the cult incident, but at that time she was only trying to protect herself and her family.

In a new environment, with a different identity and situation, can she still demonstrate sufficient qualities?

Night finally arrived, and Xia Chuan began to control his dreams for the first time since he had a physical body.

It is naturally more inconvenient and more difficult than before, but with the experience of chatting with Kamio Hitomi in dreams countless times before, this level of difficulty will not prevent him from achieving his goal.

"Knock knock knock!"

Kana Nomiya was startled when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the window. Then she found that she was no longer at the shrine, but returned to the apartment she rented before the incident happened.

This is?

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocks on the window continued.

She already knew that this was not a real scene, so while chanting the name of Hailin loudly to give herself courage, she mustered up the courage to walk over and open the window.

A tiny mouse standing on the windowsill was none other than her own pet Tuan Zang.

The next second, she saw the huge figure in the void outside the window. For no reason, she knew who it was and immediately prostrated herself.

When she raised her head again, she was already in a huge shrine. The shadow of the huge rat god with a crown of bones on his head was staring down at her, making her exclaim "Ah" subconsciously.

"Lord Hailin..."

"Nomiya Kana, do you still remember your mission?"

"My mission?"

"As the chief priestess of the Skeleton Shrine, what should you do? Have you never realized this?"

"Lord Hailin, we are now..."

"There is no excuse." Xia Chuan said while controlling the huge phantom. "Inaba Rika can no longer bear this responsibility. Nomiya Kana, you must take the responsibility."

"But……"

"The Bone Shrine must grow and prosper, and the Bone Institution must play its due role."

"What should I do?" asked Kana Nomiya.

"The Skeleton Society is your backing, Nomiya Kana, we are looking forward to your performance."

She woke up suddenly, covered in cold sweat.

Something was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She moved Nomiya Wakana's body away unhappily, sat up, and gasped in the dark.

"Kana?" asked the eldest sister Misa in a daze.

"I'm fine." Kana Nomiya said in a low voice.

But she couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she simply got up, put on her clothes, and tiptoed outside.

Although it is a winter night, the sky is still starry.

Danzo ran quickly on the ground, soon climbed up her legs and onto her shoulders, chirped twice, and then lay down obediently.

"Did you see that dream too?" Kana Nomiya asked in a low voice, but got no response, which made her shake her head.

Is this really Lord Hailin’s decree?

But why didn't He convey His orders to her directly through the magatama as He did in the past, but used this method?

Is Inaba Rika no longer able to take responsibility?

Is it just a projection of her own subconscious mind?

At this moment, she suddenly heard some noise coming from Inaba Rika's room. A moment later, the paper sliding door was gently opened, and Inaba Rika, like her, walked out wearing a piece of clothing.

Kana Nomiya remained silent in the darkness. After a moment, she heard Rika Inaba sigh softly.

"Rika?"

"Kana?!" Inaba Rika was startled by her sudden voice. Thinking of the previous dream, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Can't sleep?" Nomiya Kana took the initiative to walk towards her. "Too much pressure?"

Inaba Rika shook her head, suddenly feeling a little uneasy and expectant at the same time.

"What about you? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

"I had a dream. It was Lord Hailin. He said something to me, but I can't remember it clearly." Nomiya Kana vaguely guessed something, so she asked tentatively. "What about you?"

Inaba Rika was a little surprised, but at the same time, she felt relieved: "I also had a dream. It was about Lord Kaiju. He also said something to me..."

"So?" Nomiya Kana asked. "Do you remember what He said? Could our dreams be the same oracle?"

Chapter 41 The Chief Witch is now in charge

It was hard to say what mood the two of them were in that night, but before dawn, they finally reached a consensus.

Rika Inaba is still the head of the Corpse Organization, but as the status of the Skeleton Shrine has increased, Kana Nomiya's voice has also increased accordingly.

Inaba Rika herself is also a shrine maiden of the Skeleton Shrine, so this arrangement is, at least logically, self-satisfactory.

The next morning, people arrived one after another. Just as Tachibana and Kimoto were preparing to arrange the day's investigation work, Inaba Rika, who had performed poorly before, suddenly stood up.

What is she going to say?
