Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 143 Midsummer Shrine
……

"Aiba Yui, the police have confirmed that you are suspected of multiple crimes, including illegal dissemination of personal information, illegal intrusion into computer information systems, and illegal acquisition of computer information data. You will be fined a huge amount and sentenced to more than seven years in prison for multiple crimes."

Entering the interrogation room, Aoi Jinguji spoke to Yui Aiba seriously.

"What! Not to mention how convincing your shrine maiden costume is, the police can't convict me like this. I want to hire a defense lawyer..."

Aiba Yui stood up with her face flushed.

"You have the right to hire a defense lawyer, but you know the possibility of winning the case."

"However, if you can make up for your crime with meritorious service, we can consider not pursuing the above charges..."

Jinguji Aoi turned around and spoke hesitantly.

"Make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence? Tell me about it..."

Although she smelled a conspiracy, since she was under someone else's roof, Aiba Yui could only continue what the other person was saying.

"You will join the Metropolitan Police Department's Ninth Section Information Group as an 'external technician' to assist us in information management..."

Aoi Jinguji said straight to the point.

"Humph, are you police officers interested in my network skills and want to recruit me?"

"Sorry, I'm used to being free and undisciplined, and I'm not used to the management within the system. Besides, this identity of 'non-staff member of the secret department' sounds like the first character to die in the movie, which may be more dangerous than going to jail..."

Aiba Yui showed an expression of "as expected" and was immediately ready to refuse.

"Information management does not involve dangerous things. Your mission is to assist us and protect the Metropolitan Police Department's important 'informant', Xia Fan, in all directions without blind spots."

"The specific work content is to 'defensively package' his personal information and counter-track other information miners. At the same time, use the support website you established to conduct soft management of specific groups that may cause information leakage in the form of fan organizations..."

Jinguji turned his back to her and spoke in an enigmatic manner.

"So that's how it is. Xia Fan is actually the 'informant' of the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"You mean, I'm responsible for protecting his information and setting up and managing a fan organization?"

"These two things are fundamentally contradictory. Those rotten girls are very realistic. If we don't continue to disclose more information about Xia Fan, they won't come to the support website to register as members..."

Aiba Yui asked in a disingenuous tone.

"That's right. Xia Fan is a very important informant to our Metropolitan Police Department, and he could be in great danger at any time."

"If a cheering website wants to attract fans, it doesn't necessarily need personal privacy information. Various 'private photos' are also acceptable..."

Aoi Jinguji took out her cell phone and looked towards Yui Aiba.

"There are so many of them. They all belong to Xia Fan..."

On the phone screen were pictures of Xia Fan’s “life photos” that she had never seen before.

They were feasting at a food stall, putting on makeup on a set, participating in a singing competition on stage, and even falling asleep defenselessly in a black business car...

"Besides being cool and aloof, you can also be cheerful and cute. So cute. I want to recommend you..."

Aiba Yui looked at the photos silently, staring at Xia Fan's star-like eyes, and swallowed secretly.

"Of course, the information protection matter must be kept secret from Xia Fan. When he comes over on weekdays, you have to pretend to be a normal agent."

"Normally, there is still a chance to meet him here?"

"Also, in addition to information protection and specific population management, when necessary, you may need to use your 'civilian identity' to provide him with close protection."

"Close protection?!"

"Of course, that would only be done in an emergency. Normally, you would just work normally in Lesson 9. We would also arrange a single apartment for you and sign a labor contract of 'equal pay for equal work'. Anyway, you are now an 'unemployed vagrant'..."

Listening to Jinguji Aoi continue to explain the content of the work, Aiba Yui's voice trembled, her expression became more and more excited, and the inside of her legs rubbed quietly. "In short, this is the condition given by our police. I will give you half a day, and hope that you can seriously consider your current situation and make a reasonable choice between 'within the system' and 'in prison'..."

Hearing that Yui Aiba seemed to be "wavering" about this job that paid little, was close to home, Aoi Jinguji was ready to redouble her efforts and make another threat.

"I, I'll join in!"

Unexpectedly, this seemingly petite and timid girl responded very decisively.

"Oh? As expected of a genius girl who jumped five levels, what a wise choice. Congratulations, you are joining Section 9, external agent Aiba Yui..."

Jinguji Aoi nodded slightly and extended her hand to the other party.

"Chief Witch, I will do my best to protect the privacy of 'informant' Xia Fan!"

Licking the saliva from the corner of her mouth, Yui Aiba shook hands with the shrine maiden in front of her seriously.

"An external agent... is he recruited now?"

"The Jinguji Miko is even more unfathomable than she usually appears..."

On the other side of the one-way glass, Inspector Higurashi, who witnessed the entire process, could no longer close his jaw.

……

On the morning of the day after the final episode of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" was officially broadcast, a website called "Midsummer Shrine" was quietly launched.

The homepage of the website is decorated with many "critical close-up photos" of Xia Fan in an exaggerated nine-square grid format.

In the live-action web drama "The Broken Chrysanthemum and the Sword", the triple forms of "Manyo Kazama"...

In the mask advertisements, "beautiful men with bangs" of different ages...

On the "KKC flyer", the "abstinence clerk" holding a hamburger...

The "campus life photos" left over from a certain competition poster shoot...

Although he looks like a completely different person, he exudes an unconcealable handsomeness...

Those eyes that contain the sea of ​​stars are so hard to look away once you look into their eyes.

The lower part of the website contains stage performance videos of two "Campus Singer Contests".

The announcement on the homepage stated that Xia Fan’s support organization “Midsummer Shrine” was officially established. The fans were named “Summer Disease” and their nickname for Xia Fan was “Xia Fan”.

As long as you register with your real name and become an "original member" of the website, you can get a customized Xia Fan stand with a unique number and a fan-only poster for free. You will also have the right to view the regularly updated "Xia Fan Private Photos", learn about Xia Fan's latest activities, and even participate in subsequent organized support activities for free.

Originally, the people who visited this "secret website" were basically fans of the original novel "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" who came to enjoy the brilliant performance of "Manyo Kazama" and follow a certain "internal document" to join in the fun...

Women who already have no resistance to pretty boys, when they encounter this series of "free benefits" worth real money, the membership registration rate of visitors reaches as high as 98%.

After registering as members, a group of female fans began an active discussion in the website's "secret forum".

After a female fan uploaded fan fictions drawn overnight, such as "The Secret Swordsmanship of Hijikata and Kazama", "The Night of Kazama's Bride", and "Young Master Kazama Pushed Too Deep", the topic of discussion gradually began to deviate in one direction or another...

……

[You have successfully founded the esoteric organization "Midsummer Shrine". Believers can provide an additional 1 point of faith if they sincerely visit once a week. The number of visits this week: 2414]

[Faith value +1...Faith value +1...Current accumulated faith value 13521]

Early in the morning, Xia Fan had just opened his eyes when he received a series of unclear oracles...

The faith value also soared to an inexplicable height.
