Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 347, Yasue Saijo's Doomsday!

Late at night on January 3rd of the third year of the Uesugi calendar.

Strangely enough, in a certain place in Tama City, Tokyo, it started raining heavily despite the sub-zero temperature.

In the dead of night, the rain poured down, enveloping the entire street in a curtain of rain, and deep within the downpour, a terrified soul was fleeing.

"Heh~ Hoo~ Aaaaaa!!!!" The screams of a serial killer from Chiba Prefecture came to an abrupt halt. Not far away, a spirit bullet pierced the air and tore apart her last remaining soul!

From this point on, Yasue Saijo, the minor villain who kept making reappearances, finally died completely, as dead as could be in any sense, her soul gone.

Then, her memories immediately appeared before Uesugi Muneyuki.

Amidst the torrential rain, Saijo Yasue's memories surfaced and were forcibly read by Uesugi Muneyuki.

Memories from childhood, junior high school, high school, and the memories of turning into a curse after committing suicide and losing my physical body.

Uesugi Muneyuki focused his investigation on what happened after Saijo Yasue became the Cursed One, attacked Uesugi Muneyuki but was defeated, and Hironaka Mariko took most of the Cursed One's power.

This part of her memory is very chaotic. After being defeated by Uesugi Muneyuki, Saijo Yasue's remnant soul went into exile in Kansai. After a long period of recuperation, someone found her remnant soul.

He gave her a new strength.

Is it that new god from Kansai?!
Uesugi Muneyuki continued his relentless search and soon made a discovery.

That power was very similar to the power possessed by the otherworldly person named Kenta Takahashi that day. It seemed that both were given by the new god of Kansai. After obtaining the power, Yasue Saijo returned to Kanto to look for opportunities to commit crimes. In the end, he was caught by Muneyuki Uesugi and killed again.

The host club fan named Mano Matsuko was contemplating suicide. She hated society, but suffering from illness and burdened with debt, she was no longer able to take revenge. When she was about to commit suicide, her heart was filled with resentment. This extreme misanthropy and hatred resonated with Saijo Yasue, so she was willing to give her body to Saijo Yasue for free. Saijo Yasue was able to obtain a body with more than 80% compatibility and, according to Mano Matsuko's wishes, took pictures of almost all the hosts in that host club.

"Good for killing!" The village flower princess doesn't seem very friendly towards humans.

"The flashback to the soul's death ends here," Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a moment, then said to Arimura Hanajun, "Those four people from that day were probably sent by that guy from Kansai. That injection seems to be the key to activating the power of the other world."

"I devoured their flesh and souls, but unfortunately, the taste of inferior races that couldn't trigger resonance was really not good. Compared to the disturbance I suffered, it was worthless." Ayakawa Jun was still in that icy, kimono-clad beauty pose with her oil-paper umbrella. Ayakawa-dono casually replied, "As for that injection stuff, that thing was made from the decaying body of the dead New God. It can temporarily stimulate a person's inner world potential, but I don't know the specifics. It's probably related to the New God's abilities."

"I never expected that our new god of Kansai would also be a master tomb raider?" Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a while and then understood: "After all, there are so many ancient tombs in Kansai, it's not surprising that there are the remains of former gods inside."

He obtained a very important clue.

First, the new god of Kansai has always wanted to infiltrate its influence into Kanto, but it doesn't understand Kanto well. Times have changed, and even if its attack power is comparable to a tank, the US military's aircraft, ships, and Barrett can teach it a lesson. Therefore, it doesn't dare to come over and only creates chaos and plays proxy wars.

Secondly, if he wants to make a similar injectable, he needs archaeology. Perhaps he can start with archaeological excavations in the Kansai region and work on it together with the Metropolitan Police Department...

"Hahahaha~ Hahahaha~" Just then, Mariko Hironaka, holding a wisp of mushy smoke, laughed loudly at Muneyuki Uesugi and said, "Look! Uesugi, Miyahara, that ugly man, has turned into this, hahaha~"

The face of Miyahara Toru, the ugly man, could be vaguely seen emerging from the smoke. The already ugly former comedian had been completely transformed into a lump of rotten flesh, with layers of chins piled up in the smoke, which was half gas and half liquid. In short, it was quite amusing.

After signing the Rain Contract with Arimura Hanajun, she healed Hironaka Mariko, but not Miyahara Toru. Her evaluation of human appearance was clearly influenced by "Arimura Hanajun" herself, leaning towards the traditional samurai aesthetic of handsome men and beautiful women, and disliking lewd and ugly men. So when Uesugi Muneyuki made the Matsuzuki Kasumi's Spirit Crystal Hairpin, Arimura Hanajun was slightly moved and accepted the gift for this reason.

"..." Murakabe-dono's gaze shifted to Hironaka Mariko.

Mariko Hironaka's smile froze instantly. She quickly bowed and awkwardly smiled at Hana Arimura, "Um, Takashi, I didn't mean it! Really!" "…………Boring." Hana Arimura roughly understood what Mariko Hironaka wanted to do, but she also couldn't understand what Mariko Hironaka was saying. She couldn't understand human language and writing, but she could roughly understand what the other person meant through their actions.

Some might think, "How is that possible? How could beings of a higher status not understand lower races?"
Here's an example—a cat.

Cats are undoubtedly an inferior species to humans. Although people like to call their cats "masters" and say that cats are very strong, in reality, cats can't beat humans at all. It's just that humans stubbornly believe that being scratched by a cat means they've lost.

Similarly, through some of a cat's behaviors, humans can roughly understand what it wants to do. For example, it meows when it's hungry, rubs its head against people, rolls onto its back, raises its tail, flies its ears, hisses, and stretches out its paws.

However, the true language of cats is very complex. For example, cats can secrete five pheromones from their head and anal glands, and it took humans decades to barely decipher three of them. Two of these remain unknown. The other three are mating requests, distinguishing between familiar and unfamiliar presences, and marking safe zones to stabilize emotions.

However, this is only very vague and general information. In reality, depending on the environment, temperature and humidity, the cat's mood at the time, and the individual differences of each cat, even the same pheromone can be useful sometimes, ineffective sometimes, or have other meanings. It varies from cat to cat.

The confusion that Ayamura Hana Jun encountered was this. She could roughly understand some meaning through human behavior, but she could not understand human writing and language, and she disdained to understand them—would a person have nothing better to do than keep sniffing a cat's anal glands in order to understand cat language?
"In short, we've figured some things out." Mai-senpai also stood in the rain, her body still a little sore and numb. After exposing her weakness, the national goddess was slightly weaker in front of Uesugi Muneyuki, and only said in a low voice, "Don't worry, that guy from Kansai just inexplicably lost one subordinate and three subordinates, so he's even less likely to come over. As long as we make him uneasy, time is on our side."

"Mai, I'll leave the closure of Kurosawa Shrine and the blocking of its roads to your Kanto Shrine Alliance, Mai-senpai." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded, smiling as she said softly, "According to the contract, we must try our best to minimize any disturbance to her."

“Okay, leave it to me.” Mai-senpai nodded. “There’s one more thing to be careful about. Besides infiltrating through civilian forces, that guy in Kansai has another method of infiltration, which is…”

“I understand, the political and business worlds.” Uesugi Muneyuki gazed at the rainy sky and said meaningfully, “A little bit of supernatural power, even just a tiny bit, would absolutely drive those old fogies on their deathbeds crazy.”

Things get interesting.

........................

Around 1 a.m. on January 4, at the Uesugi residence, 1802, Sakata Bridge Tower.

Reina Ikeda tossed and turned in bed in agony, scrolling through her phone. She saw the news about the disappearance of four graduate students from the Department of Life Sciences at Toyo University's Gunma Campus during a test of courage. Her eyes were lifeless.

Can't sleep, can't sleep at all!

Damn you, Zongxue! Where have you been?
The tall, beautiful woman scrolled through her phone's call history, which contained only a few dozen brief Line replies and one call record from Uesugi Muneyuki.

Since the New Year on January 1st, Uesugi Muneyuki disappeared after saying he was going back to Uesugi Shrine in Yonezawa in the afternoon!
This left Erena, who had originally planned to spend a sweet and loving New Year's holiday with Uesugi Muneyuki, full of complaints.

Moreover, she had gotten used to falling asleep to the scent of pine and the warmth of Uesugi Muneyuki's skin, so these past few days she has been unable to sleep at all when she sleeps alone!

No, I can't do it alone without Zongxue!
Moreover, after only three days without seeing Uesugi Muneyuki, Erena felt her body had become very...

For the past two days, a super gravity field has been visibly enveloping Erena.

Just when she thought she was going to have another sleepless night... a little before four in the morning, the door suddenly opened.

Uesugi Muneyuki is back!!!

Erina jumped up from the bed in excitement and threw a meatball, egg, scallion, and chicken at the door!
"Zong Xue! You're finally back!!!"
