From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 297 The wronged breed resentment, united as wine to be swallowed.
"Fellow colleagues, do you think the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is beneficial to us?"

After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, the officials gathered together and began to scheme their own ways.

As I said before, outside of the party, there is no party and imperial mentality; within the party, there are no factions and all sorts of strange things happen. Even in Japan, there are ruling and opposition parties. It's perfectly normal for these people to have their own plans.

"There's definitely good to it! The Kyoto and Osaka regions weren't exactly convinced by us to begin with, but now they're obediently coming to us for help, aren't they?" someone said with a smile. "In my opinion, this kind of thing is a really good thing!"

"If you put it that way, it's true! Is it because Tokyo is a large place with a large population that they dare not come? With crises occurring in other places, wouldn't our position be even more secure?"

"That makes sense! It's still early, why don't we go find some more fun?"

"Alright, alright, let's go! How about the usual place? Adachi Ward..."

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

These people chatted and walked away with smiles on their faces, unaware that a strange, foul aura was beginning to appear above their heads.

This is a wisp of turbid air from Kyoto. It had been fleeing here with a high-ranking official from Kyoto, and then it was attracted by the malice of this place. It attached itself to these people and followed them to their destination.

This turbid air is actually another thing designed by Bai Yang. If there is no malice here, the turbid air will gradually dissipate and eventually disappear.

If there is malice, this turbid energy will absorb the malice and grow, ultimately determining the size of the monster based on the magnitude of the malice.

It's obvious that these people are full of malice, but the place they're going to is even more maliceful!

More than an hour later, at Tokyo Prison in Adachi Ward.

This is the most desolate and quiet place in the entire region. In a country like Japan, where people pay attention to the atmosphere of their living environment, being near a prison is taboo, so there are very few people here!

This prison was originally the most terrifying prison in all of Tokyo. The place where death row inmates and life-sentenced prisoners were held was a place that was almost deathly silent.

For these high-ranking officials who even have access to the Prime Minister's residence, this is certainly a wonderful place for them.

Because almost no one can get out of here, even sending messages is extremely difficult. Moreover, due to the nature of Japanese society, many death row inmates and prisoners serving life sentences have their families cut off from them.

Therefore, whatever happens in this prison is just an ordinary thing.

For example, there are corpses that are sold every now and then, and there are rumors about people around who often hear screams in these places—these are not rumors, but reality!

A member of parliament named Kiyohito Koizumi, and his colleagues, were frequent visitors here.

They acted like real emperors here, having the power of life and death over those death row inmates—since no one could leave anyway, they could do whatever they wanted!
Many politicians like to come here; it's truly a no-man's-land. I've heard that some people even engage in unrestricted, bloody fights here. Anyway, Kiyohito Koizumi has never seen it, and he doesn't care about that.

What he cared about was something else entirely.

The group followed a hidden road and closed vehicles into the prison, and calmly followed the prison guards to the inside.

Finally, Kiyohito Koizumi arrived at the outside of a closed prison, watched as the prison guards opened the cell door, and went inside.

"As is customary, you still have one hour. I will be waiting for you outside in one hour!" the prison guard said very respectfully, and then closed the door.

Kiyohito Koizumi then turned his gaze to the room, where an old man of similar age was sitting, though the old man didn't seem to be in particularly good condition.

He was in a semi-conscious state, strapped to a chair, and looked extremely tired and exhausted.

Kiyohito Koizumi walked straight over, took a water glass from a shelf, and splashed it at the old man!

"Splash!" The icy water slid across the old man's face, making him shudder, and then he opened his eyes.

However, there were no pupils in its eyes, only dark eye sockets, which looked extremely terrifying.

"Kiyohito Koizumi!" the old man roared, "I knew you weren't dead!" "If you're not dead, how could I be?" Kiyohito Koizumi said coldly, "I'm going to chop you to pieces, Miyagawa Yasuichi!"

He suddenly ripped off the cloth covering the other man's trouser leg, revealing a thigh that was necrotic and even had new flesh growing inside—the old man didn't have a lower leg at all; it had been severed long ago!

The next second, Kiyohito Koizumi picked up the sulfuric acid on the table and splashed it on the other person's leg!
"Ah!" The man named Miyagawa Yasuichi roared, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. "You old dog Koizumi, I should have killed your whole family instead of leaving you alive!"

"So you don't want to?" Kiyohito Koizumi said viciously. "If it weren't for my youngest son and me being abroad, we would have been killed by you long ago! Fortunately, I still have some power to keep your whole family here with you!"

"Your whole family? Hahahaha! You have the nerve to call my whole family? My sister is your wife, and how did you treat her? Huh? You used our family's money to send our family members to their deaths one by one, and now I'm not allowed to kill you?"

Miyagawa Yasuichi roared, "You ruined my family, so I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life! You ungrateful wretch, you're going to turn our entire Miyagawa family into dead just to marry the Speaker's daughter!"

“Only the dead can keep secrets, but now you don’t need to die…” Kiyohito Koizumi said, “I have the power to keep you alive… This time, I’ll see whether I take your ears or your hands…”

"Kiyohito Koizumi, if you have the guts, kill me!" The old man roared on the restraint chair, but he was powerless. He was now like a fish on a chopping board. So many years of imprisonment had long since extinguished all his hope.

He felt the pain in his body and felt that he had been blind. He was the one who introduced his sister to this man back then, but he never expected that what he brought to the Miyagawa family was not a boost to their development, but a "demon" who would devour the entire family!
"If I had the chance... if I had the chance... I would send the entire Koizumi family, no, the entire bureaucracy of Tokyo, to hell!"

Miyagawa Yasuichi gritted his teeth and endured the physical and mental pain, gradually making himself more resilient!

Even though he had lost both legs, his eyes, and his body was covered in scars, he did not choose to give up. The immense hatred in his heart made him persevere and live on even though he was almost 60 years old!

As long as he lives, there is hope; as long as he lives, he can take revenge!
Just then, a peculiar voice suddenly rang out, "What pure hatred! What powerful malice! So, are you willing to worship me as your master? I will give you the power of vengeance!"

Upon hearing this, Miyagawa Yasuichi roared, "I'm willing! I'll do anything to get my revenge!"

"Even if it means abandoning your human identity and becoming a demon?" the voice came again.

"Even so, I'm willing!" Miyagawa Yasuichi shouted loudly, but Koizumi Kiyohito beside him didn't notice it even slightly.

"Then you must remember your promise: send all the bureaucrats in Tokyo to hell! After all, bureaucrats deserve to die!"

The next second, Miyagawa Yasuichi suddenly found that he had seen the light again, and what he saw when he opened his eyes was a panicked Koizumi Kiyohito!

"A monster...a monster!" Kiyohito Koizumi was dumbfounded. He watched as the old man in front of him gradually transformed into a terrifying monster under the influence of a black, turbid aura!

His missing legs have sprouted bluish-black feet like a zombie's, and his eyes are bloodshot and gleaming, as if blood is gushing out!
His arms slowly transformed into two blade-like weapons, lunging towards Kiyohito Koizumi!

Kiyohito Koizumi panicked and frantically pounded on the door behind him, hoping it would open. But this was a closed, secret room, the very room he used to torture his enemies, and now it had become his death knell!
At that very moment, this arrogant senator was reduced to a mangled corpse by Miyagawa Yasuichi's blade!

The old man, now a vengeful ghost, saw his own grotesque, demonic image reflected in the surrounding metal, and panicked, asking, "What...what did you do to me?"

"Hahahaha!" A laugh came from beside him. It was a handsome, otherworldly man who looked at Miyagawa Yasuichi with an admiring gaze. "What are you doing? No, no, no, this is all your choice! It is your resentment and your obsession with death that summoned me!"

"You are now the ghost of Rashomon, and you will be the most resilient soul I have encountered since my resurrection!"

Hearing this, Miyagawa Yasuichi slowly accepted his identity. Being half-dead, becoming a ghost didn't seem so bad anymore. "Then you are..."

"Me?" the man replied with a light laugh, "People in your country generally call me—Shuten-dōji!"

He gazed out at a corner of the prison, as if he could see the surrounding city from there, and see the things that existed within it: "So many powerful spirits... I really want to eat them..."

"Demon of Rashomon, go and sweep away those who stand in your way! Let me devour those demons of war and transform into my complete form!"

P.S.: Oh no, the vinegar is coming!
PS2: I've had diarrhea all day, and I feel uncomfortable and unwell all over.
