From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 284 The power of will arises spontaneously, and thus ghosts and gods appear.
The night in Kyoto was as peaceful and serene as ever—of course, this was only the surface as seen through the lens.

In fact, where can true peace come from in a country where even gangs can be formalized?
In a dark alley, an old man covered in the stench of sewers slowly climbed up, looked around, and then slowly walked in one direction.

Behind him, a trail of foul-smelling and resentful footprints was left!
The willpower emanating from the air seemed to have found a breakthrough, converging fiercely towards him, and then gradually transforming into substantial energy, beginning to gradually transform the old man into something else!

His body gradually became twisted, and the foul-smelling liquid concentrated in the center of his body. What was originally a human body gradually became bizarre and strange!
The arms transformed into wings, the feet into claws, and the body was covered in feathers, but the exposed part of the chest was still in the shape of human ribs!

In this bizarre and unpredictable state, his head became even sharper, resembling a beast's brain, yet possessing a human face. Amidst the rising resentment, Yin Luo was born!
His body, which was originally standing on the ground, was also lifted into the air by flapping his wings, flying towards the predetermined goal.

"What?!" A piercing screech in the sky jolted many people awake from their sleep in the city!

They looked up, but could only see a large bird, leaving a strange trail in the air.

"What is this thing?" Many people were surprised. Where did such a big bird come from in the Kyoto area?

Meanwhile, many more reporters and independent media outlets, like rats smelling fish, quickly put on their clothes and ran towards the direction the "bird" had gone.

These perceptive individuals seemed to see their own opportunities for advancement and a path to promotion!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the newly appointed deputy chief of the Kyoto City Police Department, Ichiki Sano, was comfortably making phone calls to old friends from his new house.

And what they were talking about, of course, was that unresolved issue in Saitama Prefecture:
"You haven't filled the hole yet? And you're just making it bigger and bigger?"

"What are you filling in! This is all public concern! This is all money! As long as this hole remains, as long as that old geezer hasn't been pulled out, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will have to pay up!"

"It's been three months, everyone knows he's dead, right? You can't go too far..."

"What do you mean dead? As long as the body hasn't been dug up, it's considered missing! We can keep stalling! It's more painful not to make this money! Besides, you were the one who came up with this plan in the first place, Sano, weren't you? Now that you can't have your cake and eat it too, are you hoping to resolve this?"

"Damn it! How can you say something like that at a time like this!"

Sano Ichiki angrily hung up the phone. Sure enough, in the officialdom, once you leave, you're forgotten.

This old man was my subordinate. He was happily dividing the profits with me before, but as soon as I left and he took over, he immediately started purging my faction.

If it weren't for several subordinates sending him messages to complain, Sano Ichiki wouldn't have known how outrageous this old man had been!

As a result, the other party is now not even giving me face, which is truly... incredibly audacious!

"Does he really think that just because I've come to Kyoto, I've lost control of Saitama? Humph! What nonsense! The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism owes me a huge favor!"

Sano Ichiki's departure from Saitama is, of course, a scapegoat for the ground collapse and inadequate rescue efforts!
But everyone knows that after he took the blame, apologized, and left, giving the public an explanation, the person who disappeared without a trace in this matter is the real culprit: the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism!

Who knows how much these people embezzled to cause such a huge pothole in the road? Commissioner Sato is also putting in the effort!

"What?!" Just then, a startled and angry voice reached Sano Ichiki's ears, making him stand up angrily!
"Who's yelling? How rude! This is the center of Kyoto, so many officials live here!"

Already angry, and now someone's causing trouble, Sano Ichiki decided to teach that person a lesson!
Sano Ichiki was not the first to make a sound; many people heard the piercing scream in the dead of night.

At this moment, many people peeked out or came out of their yards to see who was calling.

Sano Ichiki was, of course, one of these people. The villa area at night was brightly lit by the lights of many people, which made the creatures that were originally in the dark appear in a corner of their images.

In this corner of the image, there is a bird taking flight, a cry that makes everyone uncomfortable, and a trail of darkness!
With the help of the light, they could clearly see the monster approaching!

This is a strange bird, almost the size of a human, with a sharp head, resembling a crane but even larger. Its face is a hideous, terrifying human face, staring down at everyone! [Yinmo Luo Ghost]

"Ah!" Fearful cries came from some of the women as they stared in terror at the monster as it entered the area and spread its wings!

The monster's appearance is indeed terrifying, especially its sharp claws, which gleam with a white metallic light under the illumination of the lamp!
But for some reason, Sano Ichiki felt that the monster was coming for him.

He seemed somewhat frightened and began to turn and walk towards his room, where he kept a pistol—his sidearm and the source of his confidence.

Having a gun would at least make him feel much safer.

However, the monster in front of him had no intention of letting him go. Instead, it landed right in front of him, amidst the gazes of many people around.

Then, he opened his mouth and spoke, "Sano Ichiki... I heard your name! Before I die!"

The monster had a blank face, like that of a somewhat desolate old man, which made Sano Ichiki even more terrified!
"I...I've never heard of you before, you've got the wrong person!"

"I haven't come to the wrong person. You were in charge of road traffic in Saitama Prefecture three months ago, which is why you led the rescue operation against me!" The monster opened its mouth and revealed its origins.

"Officer Sano Ichiki, can you explain why you deliberately used an excavator to hammer the ground, causing a secondary collapse, when I was about to climb out of the car?"

The monster's hideous and terrifying face displayed an unusually indifferent question, yet this question sent a cold sweat down Sano Ichiki's back!
What could he say? Could he tell them that this was the Ministry of Transport's plan, to delay the rescue and give them time to react?

How could he not know that after being rescued, Saitama Prefecture would be without pots?
But then everyone's attention will be focused on the collapsed road, and the entire road system will be resented. That's why those people approached him and asked him to stall for time.

The reputation of a county is certainly not as important as that of a national department. As a result, a rescue operation was delayed for more than three months, even three months later, and the body still had not been found. They were still using "missing" instead of "death" as a pretext!

But Sano Ichiki doesn't need to know that people turn into monsters when they die!

He's killed hundreds of people in his life, how could this happen? Is he really coming back as a ghost to take revenge?
He was terrified, but he didn't dare tell the truth and could only stand there!

The officials from Kyoto City around him all woke up, and their eyes were all on him. Many of them even raised their phones to take pictures!

If he reveals any specific insider information about a deal, then he's really doomed.

One of the unspoken rules of officialdom is that you can do it, but you can't say it!

If they spoke out, they would truly be cutting themselves off from officialdom, so their conversation became awkward.

Of course, those outside didn't come away empty-handed either. As the photos were taken and released, many people received the information and saw the monster's hideous and terrifying appearance!
The Kyoto City Police Department dispatched all of their officers immediately, fearing that even a second's delay could lead to an uncontrollable crisis!
But this external incident did nothing to ease Sano Ichiki's tension. He quickly tried to reassure himself, "It was just a simple construction accident. You know, all sorts of unexpected things can happen during construction rescues!"

"Is that so?" Two blue flames ignited on the old monster's face, like ghostly fire, replacing his two eyeballs and making his words sound much colder and more terrifying!
Although the words were plain, how could a "monster" formed from resentment have only this much power?
Blue flames spewed from its mouth, drawing a circle on the ground that perfectly encircled Sano Ichiki.

"You can't fool me, officer! I'm not human anymore. Don't you know what you're thinking?"

The chilling words, like a prayer for the end of the world, came from the mouth of the monster before him, making Sano Ichiki feel as if he had fallen into hell!

P.S.: I'm still writing the next chapter, but why am I writing slower and slower? It's so frustrating...
