A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 9 Greed
Bunkyo District,
University of Tokyo.

This school has a history dating back to the Edo period. It is a comprehensive national university and the flagship institution of Bunkyo Ward.

It is because of this university that Bunkyo Ward can be called one of the "Upper Four Wards" along with Minato Ward, Chiyoda Ward, and Chuo Ward: apart from these four wards, the rest are just downtown areas.

东京大学除了10个学部、15个研究生院之外；还拥有11个附属研究所、14个大学研究中心、以及3个特别研究所——不仅仅是大学，也是一座研究中心。

University of Tokyo Hospital
This hospital is located on the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo.

It is the main base for clinical internships and training for medical students, graduate students, resident physicians, and specialist physicians at the University of Tokyo.

It is also an island nation, no, it is one of the world's top medical institutions.

"Mr. Kitano, please turn off the machine in front of you."

In a pristine, sterile laboratory, an elderly man wearing only briefs, revealing his muscular physique and covered in electrodes connected to various high-tech devices, was performing a deadlift using a gantry crane in front of him, as instructed by the professors.

The elderly man had well-defined muscles and rosy skin;
If it weren't for his full head of silver hair, no one would guess his age.

Standing outside the window watching all this, both Director Fujita and Miya Kana remained silent.

In this scene, who would believe that he was previously a patient who was paralyzed in a wheelchair, needed help with urination and defecation, and couldn't even speak clearly?
"Director,"

After a series of tests, Professor Ohsumi from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tokyo came over with a stack of documents.

"The results are in,"

The professor, handing over the documents to the other party and worried that they might not understand them, summarized:

"Very healthy!"

"I have never seen such a healthy body."

"Excuse my bluntness, but Mr. Kitano's physical condition is so good that it's almost unbelievable."

It's not just about health; it doesn't even include organ failure, which is unavoidable for any elderly person.
It's practically like a brand new body!

Thinking of this, Professor Ōsumi, whose white hair and beard blended together like a lion's mane, couldn't help but glance at the laboratory again.

If the director hadn't stated outright that this "Mr. Kitano" was 85 years old, their medical department's various tests and analyses would certainly have yielded a conservative conclusion of 65. The reason for this conservative conclusion is that he achieved near-perfect results in cognitive function tests, physical function tests, and physiological aging tests.

If it weren't for that head of white hair, the medical department would have diagnosed him as 45!
It's nothing short of a medical miracle.

"Director,"

"Ahem, Director Fujita."

Unaware that his inner grumbling had touched upon the 'truth,' Professor Ohsumi coughed, clenching his fist.

"Mr. Kitano's body is a true gem in the medical field. Could you—"

"Feel sorry,"

Before the other party could finish speaking,

Director Fujita refused without hesitation.

"Director, this is a matter concerning the health of hundreds of millions of citizens and countless people!"

Professor Ohsumi continued to pester him, unafraid of the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector General: not to mention that he was conducting research for medical breakthroughs, his status as a Nobel laureate alone made him transcend worldly concerns.

The Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner can be replaced at any time;
Whether a top scientist like Professor Ohsumi can emerge depends entirely on luck and talent.

"Sorry, Professor."

In the laboratory, Mr. Kitano began to remove various instruments;

Having achieved the desired result, Director Fujita prepared to leave.

"Please keep today's experiment a secret: we may have to trouble Professor Ohsumi again soon."

"What do you mean?"

"I am the best in this island nation—"

"You guys aren't planning to go find that bastard Honjo, are you?"

Professor Ohsumi is a top scientist in Japanese medicine, and he is comparable to Honjo, another Nobel laureate in medicine who graduated from Kyoto University.

"Leave it to me to study, and I guarantee I can get the information from Mr. Kitano."

"I'm sorry, this is the Prime Minister's decision."

".All right,"

Seeing the director's resolute decision,

Professor Ohsumi could only leave in disappointment.

During the 'inspection', he obtained a considerable amount of blood, skin flakes, and hair from the experimental subject, cough cough cough, 'volunteer' Mr. Kitano.

Now I wish I could dive into the lab and start researching the secret to this old man's excellent health!

"Hana, what do you think?"

As they left the University of Tokyo, in the dark, bulletproof car, Director Fujita, wearing non-prescription glasses, spoke.

I'll sit here and watch!
Sitting opposite the director, Miyako Kana, a beautiful woman with long hair and a delicate appearance, almost rolled her eyes without regard for her image.

It's over,

Her dream:

The leisurely life of bureaucrats exploiting the people has been completely shattered.

"We're in big trouble, Director."

In the end, Miyako Kana sighed.

"This is the power to reverse aging. I can already imagine the crazy faces of those old fogies, cough, those in power."

That little girl, Chu, isn't even a 'human'! What bad luck.

No, if the legend is true, then:

"There is still one 'Kamaitachi' that hasn't appeared yet, and he might see us as an enemy."

Yoshifumi Nitta, an undercover agent for the Metropolitan Police Department, possesses the supernatural power to turn his body into a 'blade'; while the little girl Hina can even give Alzheimer's patients a second life; from their conversation, the Metropolitan Police Department already knows that they are both 'Kamaitachi'.

In island nation legends, the Kamaitachi, one of the "hundred demons," always travels in groups of three.

In other words, there is still one Kamaitachi.

Although I learned from Yoshifumi Nitta,
That 'benefactor' hasn't found a third person yet, but it seems it's only a matter of time.

If a third 'Kamaitachi' appears, who knows if he'll storm into the Metropolitan Police Department and go on a killing spree?

Because in a sense, it was the Metropolitan Police Department that imprisoned the siblings 'Kamaichiro' and 'Kamagari'.

If things escalate and cause trouble, it will attract the attention of the United States.
I'm afraid it will be taken away by the other party very soon.

"I'm going to the Prime Minister's official residence,"

Inside the black sedan, Director Fujita gave his instructions.

"You will temporarily take over my position and take good care of Kazuhina."

? ?
"Director, you—"

Miya Kana was stunned. A police inspector was in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department?!
This is a true leap of three levels.

"I believe you."

"This matter is too important; I must obtain the full support of the cabinet."

The problem is, I don't believe in myself.

"Director, let me say something unpleasant."

Miya Kana hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

I'm afraid that in the end, the enemy will be in the cabinet.

"I want milk tea!"

"You don't have any? Go buy some for me right now!"

When the woman with the high ponytail, named 'Shiko,' arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department's secret interrogation room, she saw an imperious little girl and Metropolitan Police Department personnel running around looking helpless.

The scene before her was so surreal that Shiko was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

"Why are you still here?"

Noticing Shiko's arrival, the little girl Hina, who was making a fuss on the chair, asked her annoyed question.

? ?
"Is such that,"

Miya Kana raised her hand in greeting.

"We've asked Miss Shiko to take care of you."

"Little Chu, you're alright. That's great."

Somewhat dazed, Shizi stepped forward, only to find that the other person was far from unharmed!
She's practically a princess of the Metropolitan Police Department, ordering these people around like they're nothing: could she actually be the Superintendent General's illegitimate daughter who's been living away from home?
shook his head,

Let's set aside this ridiculous conjecture;

The bar owner, with a high ponytail, wearing a black vest and a white shirt, asked with a puzzled look.

"Little Chu, why are all these police officers taking such good care of you?" "Hmph, they're just trying to curry favor with me."

The short-haired little girl could see clearly that she didn't have the same intimidating power as the older man. As the third sister of the 'Kamaitachi', she only possessed the ability to heal.

However, for modern society, this is the real 'divine skill'!
Turn your body into a blade?
A mere amateur's skill!

In terms of destructive power, the powerful and wealthy can level mountains and reclaim land from the sea with a single order.

Destroying a city or even plunging a country into war with millions dead and injured in the blink of an eye is not a problem!

The blade itself is insignificant.

But his healing abilities are truly miraculous!

The power, lifestyle, and wealth of the elite are unimaginable to ordinary people: a lifetime of struggle for an ordinary person is nothing more than an earring, a ring, or a number under someone else's name.

But there is only one thing that is fair to everyone.

death!

The powerful and wealthy spend most of their lives...

They have seized mountains of gold and won seas of silver; they can enjoy everything in the world at their disposal.

However, as spring turned to autumn, he suddenly found himself growing old day by day, facing the threat of death just like those peasants.
Throughout history: kings and generals, heroes and valiant men, talented scholars and beautiful women—who can escape the end of death? And who would willingly let their magnificent life turn to ashes?
How could this be!

Absolutely not allowed!
The powerful and wealthy are investing enormous resources in 'medical' development.

It's not that they 'care about the common people,' they just want to achieve immortality.

The island nation has an average life expectancy of 84.3 years, the highest in the world; this advanced medical system also benefits from the greater fear of death among the island nation's elites.

"Sister Shiko, give me your hand."

The woman with the high ponytail, looking completely bewildered, still extended her right hand.

"Tsk, a tattoo."

Seeing the undisguised disgust on Xiaochu's face, Shiko offered an explanation:

"I've had burns on the back of my hand before, so..."

Using 'tattoos' to cover up injured skin.

"Disappear!"

With a flick of her little hand, the little girl wiped off the other person's tattoo.

It was wiped off.

It came down.

Come down

来、

? ? ? ?
She looked repeatedly at the back of her smooth hands, then stiffly raised her head to look at the little girl with her head held high, the woman with the high ponytail named Shiko. Only one thought remained in her mind:

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
The three classic philosophical questions.

"This is my supernatural power,"

The little chick, with its head held high, proudly announced, then frowned.

Where's the uncle?

"You haven't sent the uncle over for so long, are you secretly trying to harm him?"

It turns out that everything on TV is a lie! If these useless police officers were useful, how could the 'Sumiyoshi-kai' exist, and how could she have almost been sold off?
As for the middle-aged man, he was certainly not an ordinary policeman: no, he was a powerful demon, not a mere human.
The little girl's disgusted gaze swept over the members of the 'Violent Alliance' in the room once more.

"Why did you bring the uncle here? It's either stuck in traffic or broke down."

"You really think I'm a child!"

Ah, this—

Use the excuse that "the Nitta police are on their way" to buy time.
Faced with the little girl's blunt rebuke, all the "opponents" blushed.

They are not yakuza, but what they are doing now is 'imprisonment,' only it has become legal under the guise of the government.

However, legal does not equal reasonable, and the other party's request to meet "Uncle"—namely, Nitta Yoshifumi, one of the mission targets—received no response.

But they had no idea where Yoshifumi Nitta came from! Even Hana Mitani, who was temporarily in charge, only knew that Yoshifumi Nitta was undergoing a full-body check-up at some secret base.

As for letting him meet the little girl in front of him?
impossible.

"Little Chick,"

A long-haired woman in a kimono stepped forward and gently assured him:

"Don't worry, you'll be back soon—"

"Step aside!"

"What right do you have to stop me?"

Before he could finish speaking, a series of noises approached from afar.

?

Thump,

Next second,
The door to the secret interrogation room was violently kicked open.

The leader had gray hair and a fierce, wolf-like gaze; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

His police uniform had two gold stripes on the chest, signifying his identity.

"Chief Police Officer Baba?"

The Superintendent General is second only to the Superintendent General.

The island nation's police inspectorate has only 20 people, and they are scattered across various prefectures, provinces, and municipalities.

It's fair to say that within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the Superintendent General is undoubtedly the most powerful figure. However:
"Stop!"

The delicate and frail Miyako Hana stepped forward and stood in front of the intruding police officers.

"Chief Inspector Baba, you are not qualified to enter here."

? !
"Mei Valley Police Department,"

The newcomer's gaze fell on Miya Kana, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

Why aren't you wearing a police uniform?

Did you salute me?

The moment the other party entered, they launched into a stern rebuke.

If it were anyone else, they would have already been overwhelmed in terms of presence, but Miya Kana is so highly valued by Director Fujita:

brush,

He drew his sidearm from his waist and clicked the safety off.

"I'll say it again,"

"Chief Inspector Baba, you are not qualified to enter here."

As he spoke, he slightly raised the muzzle of the gun that was pointing at the ground, the meaning of which was self-evident.

If you step forward again, blood will be spilled five steps ahead!
? !
"you dare--"

The grizzled police superintendent's eyes were wide open in anger, as if he wanted to devour someone.

The long-haired, kimono-clad beauty before him remained calm and composed, yet a chilling murderous aura began to emanate from her.

For a while,
The two sides were locked in an awkward standoff.

"You'll regret this, Inspector Miyako!"

The superintendent of police, Maba, gritted his teeth, veins throbbing in his neck.

There are no secrets in the world, especially since he was a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Metropolitan Police Department has acquired a 'supernatural little girl' with the power to 'rejuvenate' people: this news has begun to circulate among the island nation's high-ranking officials, giving a jolt to many powerful figures lying in hospital beds waiting to die, their eyes lighting up.

Whether it's true or not, they're willing to take the risk: with one foot already in the Sanzu River, what else wouldn't they dare to do?

Originally, Superintendent Baba thought that after the powerful Inspector Fujita left, he could take the 'supernatural little girl' with him to treat the family's wealthy patron: even if there was any punishment, everyone was 'one of us,' and we could just transfer some benefits behind closed doors and pretend nothing happened.

However, he never expected that this lowly, 'violent' police inspector would dare to defy him!

"I am the acting Superintendent General of Police."

Faced with Miya Hana's assertive response, Superintendent Baba was speechless.

Continue to be tough, and gamble on whether this guy dares to fire?
leave?

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Heh, let me lend 'you' a hand.

Behind Superintendent Baba, among his subordinates;
A policeman, trembling and sweating profusely, gently hooked his finger and unholstered his gun.

? !
"What are you going to do?"

Just as Miya Kana instinctively lunged to the side, the other party drew his gun and fired.

Bang bang bang!
