But the person who elevated him to the heavens also dragged him into hell!

Once he was no longer useful and had become a threat, he abandoned me without hesitation, even using his wife and daughters to threaten me and try to kill me!

If it weren't for the daughter's alertness and for noticing the danger in advance, allowing her to escape with her mother, the two would now be prisoners, or even dead.

As a member of the underworld, he knew the other party's methods well. There was no kidnapping at all; they would kill you as soon as they caught you, and then lie and say they didn't kill you, leaving you in uncertainty and at their mercy.

He is truly grateful to his daughter; she is his only solace now.

Although they escaped death, their situation is still not optimistic. That scoundrel Shimura Nagahiko will definitely send people to hunt them down!

The thought of this made him extremely agitated.

He really wanted to rush out, leave this place, and then go abroad to find the mother and daughter, and protect them.

However, he also knew that the outside world was already completely blocked, especially the roads leading out of this area, which had long been tightly sealed off.

Once you try to leave, there's absolutely no way you can hide it from those people's eyes and noses!

Those powerful non-human monsters cannot be hidden from them by any means.

If he hadn't been afraid of being exposed to the public and therefore dared not directly enter residential areas to search, he would definitely have been exposed by now.

In fact, if he hadn't used some tricks, he wouldn't have been able to hide long ago. The other party's numerous searches, both overt and covert, were truly thorough. However, they were ultimately blind to their own shortcomings and didn't expect that one of their companions had already been captured by him.

“Sizzle————”

"Hatoyama, Hatoyama, respond if you hear me!"

The walkie-talkie on the left rang, and a person tied up like a dumpling under the bed opened their eyes instantly upon hearing the sound, struggled to raise their head, and made muffled noises as if trying to say something.

However, under Kenji Hōyama's fierce glare, he immediately became obedient.

“Hatoyama received!” Kenji Hōyama said.

The voice he heard was not his own, but the voice of the person under the bed. Although it wasn't the first time he had heard it, it still made him tremble.

Ventriloquism was a hidden skill of Kenji Hōyama. He learned it from an elderly neighbor when he was a teenager. The neighbor was a star performer in a large theater troupe and was skilled in ventriloquism. After retiring, young Kenji Hōyama often went to his house to play, and that's how he learned this skill.

This tactic later helped him escape danger many times, and it was of great help to him this time as well.

His method of hiding was also very simple: these Yamaguchi family insiders were all scattered to facilitate the search and communicated using walkie-talkies, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Using their familiarity with them, find one of them, subdue him, and then use ventriloquism to imitate his voice.

Even the best walkie-talkies will distort the sound; a voice that is about 50-60% accurate is perfectly adequate.

He had been hiding this for many days, using this tactic.

"Alright, now for the new order: ... Die!"

Kenji Hōyama was stunned, and before he could react, a gunshot rang out!

Chapter 164 Origin God Weapon

The opponent used sound to pinpoint my location, intending to kill me in one fell swoop!

This was his first reaction after the gunshot rang out.

He could have reacted more, but he could no longer react.

"boom----"

The powerful bullet flew through the wall with ease, then pierced through his abdomen.

The bullet sprayed a mouthful of blood, which gushed out like a fountain from Kenji Hōyama's heavy body, causing severe damage in an instant.

However, Kenji Hōyama was no ordinary man. Even after being shot, he launched a counterattack in an instant, but instead of firing a gun, he quickly pulled something out of his pocket and pressed it hard.

"boom--!"

Inside the corridor's ventilation duct, two quiet objects suddenly lit up with red lights, followed by a violent explosion!

Caution saved his life once again!

He pressed hard on his wound, then pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the person under the bed. He then rushed towards the window, his massive body shattering the entire window in an instant.

This was also part of his design. She had pre-cut several stress points on the window with tools, leaving only a small connection. With just a brute force, she could easily break through the window and get out.

"Damn it, this guy is really tough to deal with!"

After the explosion, the survivors did not rush inside, but waited for the smoke and dust to clear. Before they could, they heard the sound of windows shattering.

They rushed in and saw the other person climbing out of the window. They fired a few shots, but it was no use; the other person had already fallen into the water.

"Waaaaahh ...

A sobbing sound rang out, and looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a person tied up under the bed.

"It's Hatoyama!"

One of them rushed forward and tore off the tape stuck to the other person's mouth. As soon as the other person's mouth was freed, he began to struggle desperately.

"Let me go! Help me!"

The man who rescued him frowned and said, "Alright, you spineless coward, weren't I just about to save you? You survived being shot, you're really lucky."

Given Pengshan's marksmanship, the fact that he only managed to wound the opponent without killing him with a single shot clearly indicates a significant miscalculation, and the opponent's injuries must be quite severe.

However, the person about to be rescued roared, "Hurry! I have a bomb on me!"

"what?"

The rescuer's face turned grim. He flipped the man over and saw a bomb strapped to his back. The countdown on the bomb's screen was already down to ten!

“8, 7, 6…”

"Run!"

The rescuer could no longer care about anything else. He shouted and rushed outside like a madman. As his footsteps passed over the two corpses in the corridor, a wave of heat came from behind him!

The violent explosion generated a powerful shockwave that sent him flying, rendering him completely unconscious!

A few minutes later, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, its eyes bloodshot, like a demon emerging from the smoke.

"Pengshan, oh Pengshan, you truly live up to my expectations of training people. Even at a time like this, you can still cause us such trouble."

He sighed softly, then waved his hand behind him, and all those who were trying to continue searching for Kenji Hōyama withdrew.

"Clean up all traces immediately. The police will be here soon. We need to make sure it's clean. Pengshan thinks he's very clever, but he didn't expect that I had also prepared a gift for him. He could have died more comfortably, but falling into that guy's hands, even death is a luxury."

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

The rushing water carried a bone-chilling cold, and the gunshot wound made him tremble all over. If it weren't for his exceptional physical condition, he would be dead by now.

Finally, he reached a place where the current was gentle. He struggled to support himself, grabbed the roots of the grass on the bank, and climbed out of the water.

He took off his clothes, tore them into strips, and quickly made makeshift bandages to tighten the wound, minimizing blood loss. Every drop less blood he lost now would increase his chances of survival.

After resting against a tree for a while and regaining some strength, he immediately began to move.

We need to find a place to hide as soon as possible.

He carefully cleaned up all traces, especially the bloodstains, and then gritted his teeth and walked into the woods. He had looked at the map of the surrounding area before and knew that this was actually a fairly large forest park.

There are usually many tourists here, and even on Sundays, the number of people is still high. In a crowded place, finding a quiet spot to hide is the best way to stay concealed.

Besides being unexpected by most people, another point is that these places are often off-limits to tourists, making it difficult for the authorities to conduct large-scale searches, as such a commotion would attract too much attention.

Increasing the enemy's concerns or execution costs is a victory for yourself!

He forced himself to his feet and made his way to a room filled with clutter. He easily unlocked the door, then locked it from the inside, and curled up in a corner surrounded by junk.

He finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, his clothes soaked in blood, the bullet still lodged in his body.

He felt his vision blurring and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"Kenji Hōyama, so you've had your moments too. Perhaps you should have understood from the day you embarked on the path of the underworld that this road comes at a price. Now I've done everything I could. As for whether I live or die, that's up to fate."

He then drifted off to sleep.

"boom----"

After an unknown amount of time, a loud explosion suddenly rang in his ears, instantly waking Kenji Hōyama from his slumber. He immediately assumed a shooting stance.

But this attack was far more terrifying than expected, because what came crashing in wasn't fists and kicks, but a door!

Even if he wasn't injured, he wouldn't have launched such an attack.

Like a fly, he was violently struck by the door, which smashed a hole in the small house, sending him flying backward and crashing to the ground!

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

The impact felt like his whole body was falling apart, and he was in excruciating pain all over. His wounds, which had just dried up, reopened, and blood gushed out again.

"Heh heh, you're quite the hider. It took me ages to find you. But what good is hiding it? I can smell the blood on you perfectly clearly."

As they spoke, a man emerged from the dust and smoke, wearing a long robe with a slanted collar and his hair styled in a topknot, just like Shin'emon from Ikkyu-san.

However, his eyes were faintly flashing red, and what was even more terrifying was that a layer of fine, dense scales had appeared under his skin, shimmering with golden light in the moonlight. His fingernails had transformed into sharp claws, exuding a terrifying sharpness, as if they could tear everything apart!

He did not undergo any distortion or lose his mind, yet he was in a similar way to someone who had undergone a distortion.
