Chapter 6 Abyss
"Excuse me, are you Yamagami Tomiya's family member? If you are confirmed, please sign here!"

The funeral home staff handed a document to Tetsuya Yamagami and asked him to sign and confirm.

Yamagami Tetsuya took the pen and signed his name on the document with trembling hands. The service staff took the death certificate and related forms, and then directed them to another room to collect the urn.

Bang, bang, bang!

The bus slowly drove away from the funeral home, leaving only Yamagami's mother and Yamagami Tetsuya on board. The car was completely silent, as if even the air had frozen, with only the sound of the bus running on the road echoing.

Yamagami Tetsuya held his brother's urn in his arms, turned his head to look at his mother and broke the silence first.

"Mother, do we need to go to the temple to find a monk and prepare for my brother's farewell ceremony? Oh, right! In addition, we also need to buy relevant..."

"That's enough, don't say any more!"

The mother on the mountain suddenly interrupted him, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Yamagami Tetsuya was stunned, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears. He confirmed again: "You just said..."

"I've said enough, didn't you hear me?" The mother on the mountain interrupted him impatiently, her tone becoming even harsher.

"It was because of your brother that the fire broke out in the Holy Spirit Church! It was all because of you and Tomi's lack of sincerity! Don't think I don't know that you are half-hearted in the church!"

"And our family doesn't have the money to hold any funeral for Tomi!"

Yamagami's mother's words were like a cold sword, piercing directly into Yamagami Tetsuya's heart.

Yamagami Tetsuya's heartbeat instantly accelerated. They never thought that their mother would say such cold words.

In his impression, his mother should be heartbroken about his brother's death, but at this moment, she actually cares more about the Holy Spirit Church?

He widened his eyes in disbelief, wanting to confirm again that his hearing was correct.

"But didn't my brother leave a large sum of insurance money?"

Yamagami Tetsuya couldn't help but ask, with a tremor in his voice.

"I have already donated the money. Keeping this dirty money will only deepen our sins. Don't you even understand this?" Yamagami's mother scolded Yamagami Tetsuya harshly.

Yamagami Tetsuya looked at his mother and was about to say something but it was as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything. A strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

His heartbeat quickened, and then he tried his best to calm down, and asked hastily: "But isn't the Holy Spirit Church closed? Why is the money still being given?"

When it comes to this, Shanshang's mother becomes a little impatient.

"Sure enough, when I usually take you to the Holy Spirit Church, you never seriously listen to the speeches of Patriarch Yasuda, otherwise you wouldn't ask such an idiotic question!"

She looked at Yamagami Tetsuya with calm eyes, and her tone sounded as if everything was as it should be.

"Master Yasuda is an angel appointed by the God of the Unification Church. Now that he has returned to heaven, we should naturally hand over our income to the Unification Church. Isn't this reasonable?"

Yamagami Tetsuya looked at his mother's serious expression and was filled with fear. She's crazy! She's crazy!

He realized that his family had just escaped from the wolf's den of the Holy Spirit Church, but had unknowingly stepped into another tiger's den - the Unification Church.

In this way, the two of them embarked on a silent journey home.

"Brother Tetsuya! I have finished my homework for today, let's go draw!"

As soon as I got home, my sister heard the doorbell and rushed over quickly. Then she looked at her expressionless brother and mother, and seemed to sense that the atmosphere at the scene was a little frozen, and she was a little at a loss.

Yamagami Tetsuya tried his best to force a smile and said to his sister, "Brother will not accompany you today, go back to your room!"

"Okay!" Yamagami Tetsuya didn't want to say anything to his mother at this time. He carried his brother's urn and went directly to Yamagami Tomiya's room.

The clock in the room kept ticking, time passed by drop by drop, and an endless feeling of helplessness flooded into his world.

His mother was still addicted to the church, his brother had passed away, and he and his sister still needed money to go to school, but his brother's insurance money was donated by his mother!
I really want to leave this house...

Brother, what should I do?
Yamagami Tetsuya suddenly felt the ashes in his arms getting a little hot. He was just about to put the urn on the ground when suddenly a faint red light floated out from the urn and flowed into his body.

What is this? ! !
Yamagami Tetsuya felt a fierce heat sensation in his chest, completely different from usual.

Then a feeling of fatigue came over him, and he couldn't hold up his fighting eyelids anymore, so he just lay down on the bed and fell asleep instantly.

【Asahi Shimbun】

"Clap."

The office was silent, save for the sound of papers falling to the ground.

Mishima slowly raised his head and what came into his sight was the angry face of Team Leader Ogawa.

"Mishima! What the hell is this thing you wrote? You graduated and joined the newspaper just to do something like this for me, right?" Team leader Ogawa's voice was low and stern.

Mishima was a little confused by the editor's sudden questioning. He put down the pen and tried to explain.

"Team Leader? Is there anything wrong with my article?"

Team leader Ogawa looked at Mishima with a sneer on his face, then he pointed to an article in the newspaper.

"Read this to me!"

Mishima followed the editor's finger and his eyes fell on a piece of text that he thought was excellent.

"【According to the investigation of the Holy Spirit Church fire incident that occurred yesterday, the victim was found to be Yasuda Muma of the Holy Spirit Church... Strangely, among the bodies of several victims, one was found to have died in a bomb accident...】"

"Stop! Right here, do you know what's wrong?" Team leader Ogawa interrupted Mishima's reading.

Mishima looked at the team leader in confusion. He felt that he had not written anything wrong. This was clearly exclusive information he had obtained from a friend inside the hospital, which was enough to attract public attention.

"There is no problem!"

However, Team Leader Ogawa became even angrier. He slammed the table and raised his voice by an octave.

"Asshole! Listen to me, in our line of work, what the police say is what we have to do. Don't make things worse without permission. Everything should be based on the police's decision. Do you understand?"

Mishima was frightened by Team Leader Ogawa's momentum and took a step back, but he was still unwilling to give up his news.

He added excitedly, "Team Leader! This is inside information from my friend in the hospital. It's absolutely accurate! If this is published, it will definitely sell well! It will definitely cause a huge social uproar!"

Team leader Ogawa was unmoved. He glared at Mishima angrily and then slapped him on the head.

"No buts! You have to revise it for me. I want to see the new manuscript this afternoon. If there are any unclear details, please consult the police! You have to write whatever the police say! Don't change a single word!"

After saying that, Team Leader Ogawa grabbed Mishima's manuscript, tore it into pieces, and then smashed the pieces on the table.

Mishima looked at the torn manuscript on the table and froze in his place for a moment...
