The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

He doesn't have the time or inclination for that right now.

"Alright, I've temporarily finished dealing with things here. How far have you guys progressed?" On the way back to the company with Liu Yanyan, Zhang Chulan took out his phone again, logged into the chat group, and chatted with the other temporary workers.

……

"Alright, you can leave after signing this." More than half an hour later, the police opened the door to the detention cell where Ishihara Akira was being held and called him out.

"That's it?" Ishihara Akira asked in surprise.

It's important to understand that although the situation in the room didn't seem like a gathering of... well, the fact that Fu Rong was unconscious was a problem in itself. Whether she was taken to the hospital or woke up midway, it would almost certainly be considered illegal detention and assault against him.

That's a serious criminal case. If it's not thoroughly investigated, or if he's detained for 24 hours or something, he won't be able to leave here.

But now he's been released. If there's nothing fishy going on, then all those years of working in the underworld have been for nothing.

This was especially true after he saw Xia He and Dou Mei outside after completing the formalities, but did not see Liu Yanyan.

"By the way, where is my other companion?" Ishihara Akira turned around and asked the police.

Who are you talking about?

"Liu Yanyan".

"She has other cases to deal with and has been transferred to the relevant department. She probably won't be out for a while."

Could you tell me which department it is?

"No."

"What about our companion in the hotel? The one who's unconscious?" Ishihara Akira nodded and asked again.

"do not know."

"..."

Ishihara Sho remained silent and could only leave the police station with Xia He and Dou Mei.

"It seems the people who plotted against us planned this very meticulously," Ishihara Akira said, gazing at the starry night sky as he walked out of the police station.

"What do we do now?" Xia He asked curiously.

"Don't worry about Yan Yan. She has my mark on her, so I can find her anytime. But can you still sense Fu Rong's whereabouts?" Shi Yuanzhang asked Xia He.

After all, the muscle energy that Xia He injected into Fu Rong's body was mixed with the power of the Slaanesh, rather than simply Xia He's own superpower. Therefore, even from a great distance, she could vaguely sense Fu Rong's whereabouts with the help of the Slaanesh's power.

"can."

"That's good," Ishihara Akira said with relief.

He wouldn't allow the duck that was already in his mouth to fly away!

Chapter 323 - This is the only update today.

"What was that about those police officers?" Tu Junfang asked curiously when he saw Ishihara Akira and the other two return to the hotel.

“It’s the police checking rooms,” Ishihara Akira replied.

"A room check?" Tu Junfang, Shen Chong, and Gao Ning exchanged glances. Even they sensed something unusual about this police operation—

After all, this is a legitimate hotel, and a fairly high-star one at that—three stars. Under normal circumstances, the police would not enter such public places to conduct room checks unless they received a report or someone called the police. Only then would the police come to check the situation based on the report.

But they had already come here before, and their target was extremely clear: the room where Ishihara Akira and the others were, without really investigating the other rooms. This is enough to show that someone had planned this whole thing.

We still don't know what their purpose is.

For their sake?

It doesn't seem like it!

Although the Quanxing group isn't powerful enough to confront official law enforcement, they're not something the police can handle. It would be more like the company would be able to handle them. Besides, if they were to take action because they're from the Quanxing group, they wouldn't just take Ishihara, Xia He, and Dou Mei; they should take them all as well.

But nothing came of it. They neither fled nor hid. Even when the police saw them, they did nothing. This shows that the police's target was not Quanxing, but rather they wanted to take Ishihara Sho and the others away.

"Huh? Where's Liu Yanyan? Didn't she come back with you?" At this moment, Lü Liang looked around and finally realized what he had overlooked before, so he asked.

“Yan Yan has been moved,” Xia He replied.

"It's been moved?" Lü Liang asked in astonishment.

"They said she had other cases to deal with," Dou Mei interjected.

"So, their target this time is Liu Yanyan?" Shen Chong narrowed his eyes, pressed his glasses against his nose, and said thoughtfully.

"It could be something else," Ishihara Sho said calmly.

"So what do we do now?" Shen Chong asked again.

"It's alright. Yan Yan has my mark on her. I'll go find her later, after everyone else has rested, and also see who's plotting against us," Ishihara Akira replied calmly.

"Remember to call me if you need any help," Tu Junfang said, glancing at Ishihara Sho before standing up.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget you all," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Then, Tu Junfang, Lü Liang, Shen Chong, and Gao Ning left the room used by Ishihara Zhang, Xia He, and Dou Mei and returned to their own rooms.

As for Ding Shian?

This guy left again shortly after entering the hotel. No one knows if he went to find his master Bi Yuan or what. Anyway, he is an adult and powerful, so there is no need for irrelevant people like Ishihara Akira to worry about him too much.

……

And so, in the midst of calm and tranquility, time flew by and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

"You wait here, Xia He and I are going out for a bit," Shi Yuanzhang said to Dou Mei, who was standing beside him.

“Okay,” Dou Mei nodded in agreement.

She knew she wasn't very skilled. Although her superpowers were strong, she was better off staying away from such a rescue mission, as she would only be a hindrance.

Then, Ishihara Shou hugged Xia He's waist and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to fly towards Liu Yan Yan—

In an instant, a room resembling an interrogation room came into view of Ishihara Akira and Natsumi. Liu Yanyan was tied to a metal chair with her hands behind her back, and a man in a company uniform was standing opposite her, seemingly conducting an interrogation.

Anyway, when the man saw Ishihara Sho and Natsumi suddenly appear, he was startled and instinctively threw a punch at them.

Ishihara Akira casually caught the fist that the other party was throwing, released Xia He, and suppressed the other party with a single Thousand Birds Electric Shock Healing Technique.

"It's someone from the company." Ishihara Akira said softly, looking at the guy lying on the ground convulsing.

"Sect Leader, you've finally arrived!" Liu Yanyan exclaimed excitedly, as if her life had been saved.

"By the way, weren't you at the police station before? How did you end up at the company?" Ishihara Akira turned to Liu Yanyan beside him and asked.

“It’s that shameless Zhang Chulan. I saw him at the police station just now. He asked me if I knew where his grandfather Zhang Huaiyi’s body was. I didn’t say, so he used his connections to get me here,” Liu Yanyan replied, stretching her newly freed limbs.

“Zhang Chulan… that really does seem like something he would do,” Ishihara Akira said, narrowing his eyes.

However, as a transmigrator who understands the original plot, he also knows what Zhang Chulan should be doing now—dealing with Chen Duo's matter with the other temporary workers. In other words, under normal circumstances, he should not know that Liu Yanyan has Zhang Huaiyi's corpse.

Even if Qu Tong wanted to cause trouble for him, she should have told the Old Master afterwards, instead of telling Zhang Chulan, that good-for-nothing.

So, after ruling out all possibilities, Ishihara Akira instantly understood how he knew they were in Liupanshui, had Zhang Huaiyi's body, and how he had located their hotel room—

The electronic ghost, Gao Erzhuang.

Besides him, Ishihara Sho couldn't think of anyone else.

As it happened, she also participated in this temporary worker operation and had a direct communication channel with Zhang Chulan.

"Ishihara, the little girl you captured before seems to be here at the company too." At this moment, Xia He, who had already freed Liu Yanyan from all her restraints, suddenly spoke up thoughtfully.

"Huh?" Ishihara Akira was taken aback and turned to look at her.

But upon further reflection, it seems quite normal.

After all, they are Quanxing, and they are superhumans. How could the person they personally brought back be an ordinary person? So after using the method of cracking down on prostitution and illegal publications to separate Liu Yanyan and Shi Yuanzhang and others, and gaining the opportunity for separate interrogation and contact, Zhang Chulan naturally turned his attention to Fu Rong, who was brought back by them, and then transferred her from the original hospital back to the company.

Fortunately, the company also has a corresponding medical team that can examine Fu Rong's condition and extract more information about Ishihara Akira and the others from her after she wakes up.

Especially information about their activities within Biyou Village.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Fu Rong was found here.

“Lead the way,” Ishihara Sho said decisively.

Xia He didn't waste any more time. She led Shi Yuanzhang and Liu Yanyan out of the interrogation room and walked along the passage in front of her toward the location of the sensor.

Of course, to avoid attracting more attention and obstruction, Ishihara Akira also cast an illusion spell around the three of them, making them appear as if they were invisible...

But in the end, they were stopped by a metal gate...

Chapter 324 Reactions from All Sides

The iron gate is the kind commonly seen in modern dramas, a thick iron gate used to imprison prisoners. It is made entirely of a single piece of metal, with only a small window near the neck of a standard adult, sealed with bars, allowing the prisoners inside to breathe and communicate with the guards outside.

The door was secured with a large metal padlock, but it wasn't difficult to open. Ishihara Sho went up and fiddled with it for a bit, and the lock was opened. Then, Ishihara Sho, Xia He, and Liu Yanyan entered and saw Fu Rong, whose energy channels were still sealed, but who had regained consciousness. However, under Xia He's influence, she became restless and agitated, as if she had fallen into a frenzy.

Without much talk, he knocked her unconscious, removed the restraints, and hoisted Fu Rong onto his shoulder.

"Hold me tight." Shi Yuanzhang held Liu Yanyan with one arm and pressed down on Fu Rong's body with the other, saying to Xia He in front of him.

Xia He didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward to hug Shi Yuanzhang.

The surrounding space then distorted, and in another turn, they were back in the hotel where they had stayed, where they met Dou Mei, who had been waiting in the room for a long time.

"Take her and Yan Yan to wash up," Shi Yuanzhang said, handing the Fu Rong he was wearing to Dou Mei.

"understood."

Following that, Dou Mei, Xia He, Liu Yanyan, and the unconscious Fu Rong went to the bathroom, leaving Shi Yuanzhang in the room to watch television programs about this world.

……

Shortly afterward, the company discovered that Liu Yanyan and Fu Rong had gone missing and passed the news on to Zhang Chulan.

As for saying they'll send people to cause trouble for Ishihara Yuu again...

Although I had that idea, with insufficient manpower—mainly a lack of skilled personnel—even if I went there, what could I possibly achieve? Aside from causing serious damage to the company's people, it might not actually be able to do anything to the Quanxing people, represented by Ishihara Sho.

Especially considering what happened today, the new leader of Quanxing also possesses spatial abilities. If he really wants to escape, they might not be able to stop him.
