The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

You say helping someone beat up or frame someone is one thing, but helping someone kill someone?

For a complete stranger, someone she simply met and who heard her story, to go to such lengths, it's either that she's mentally unstable, or that this world is just too crazy.

Anyway, Kyoko Iwase was somewhat skeptical that Akira Ishihara would go to such lengths for her.

She herself doesn't possess the kind of beauty that could bring ruin to a country.

"You'll find out when the time comes. Come with me now," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

It's just killing someone; he doesn't even have to do it himself.

Isn't there a murderer right in front of us?

It only requires a slight modification.

For example, create a character like Saeko Busujima to possess Kyoko Iwase, and have her use swordsmanship to send those people to their deaths. Then, even if Kyoko Iwase wants to get rid of herself, she'll need to have the courage and ability.

As for what to do with this woman after she's been transformed into his own shape...

Now that we have monsters, shouldn't heroes appear too?

Moreover, she can be used to test the official reaction to the appearance of a real superhuman, serving as a rehearsal for future actions.

Of course, if used well, it wouldn't be impossible to create a supernatural organization by using her as a spokesperson.

Since there's no loss even if we fail, why not give it a try?

Chapter 121 Inner Demons

"What do you want to do?" Kyoko Iwase asked warily, looking at Akira Ishihara who was checking into the hotel at the front desk.

"Don't worry, even if I really wanted to do something to you, it would only be after I've helped you fulfill your wish. As for now, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the power." Ishihara Akira, having taken the room key card, turned around and spread his hands at Iwase Kyoko.

His navel chakra hasn't opened yet, which means his current spiritual practice is still at the root chakra stage. He doesn't dare to have any intimate relationships with women, so he's truly a case of having the desire but not the courage.

Haven't you noticed that he hasn't been going to see Friend A and Yue Meizi much lately?

I'm afraid that if I lose control, I'll ruin my spiritual practice.

It wouldn't be long before he gave up long-term happiness for a moment of pleasure.

Although the effects of the Root Theory's development are not as surprising as the Akimichi family's local multiplication technique, its endurance and resilience as the actual carrier and counterpart of the Root Theory have been significantly enhanced, enough to make any man or woman happy and excited.

Therefore, it's better to continue to be patient.

Then, Ishihara Akira led Iwase Kyoko into the elevator and arrived at his newly opened room.

"Go sit over there," Ishihara Akira said, pointing to the bed in the room.

Kyoko Iwase glanced at him, then turned and walked toward the bed.

Since we've already come all this way, there's not much point in resisting anymore.

Besides, even if something did happen, she wouldn't really care. She was already prepared to end her life, so she didn't care whether anyone had taken advantage of her body for any reason.

Anyway, once she dies, she'll know nothing more...

Ishihara Sho also walked to the bed next to him, sat down, and closed his eyes.

However, he quickly opened his eyes again, then got up and walked to Kyoko Iwase, pointing his finger at her forehead.

Suddenly, Kyoko Iwase felt a buzzing in her head, and then she knew nothing more...

The outward manifestation of this was that as Ishihara Akira's finger fell, Iwase Kyoko's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Under the influence of the weak force transmitted from Ishihara Akira's finger, she fell backward onto the bed.

"I hope you won't disappoint me." Ishihara Sho smiled as he looked at Iwase Kyoko, who was completely unresponsive on the bed, turned around, left the hotel room, and returned to the temple by the same route.

……

Some time later, Kyoko Iwase slowly woke up.

"Huh? Where am I?" Kyoko Iwase rubbed her throbbing head, sat up, and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with a puzzled expression.

Yes, Kyoko Iwase has completely forgotten why she is here. She only vaguely remembers meeting someone and making some kind of deal with them, and then she knows nothing more.

However, this was inevitable, since what Kyoko Iwase was about to do was a crime!

Although Ishihara had already placed an insurance policy on her to prevent her from being caught red-handed and imprisoned after the operation, it was better to let her temporarily ignore her existence until everything was confirmed to be successful.

It's not complicated. All I need to do is send a part of my demonic thought into Kyoko Iwase's mind. Then I can not only monitor her every move, but also, like an old man in a story, guide her on how to carry out her revenge without giving anyone any leverage or evidence, so that I can go unpunished and become a lawless madman...

At most, I can help her recover all her memories after this is over.

Then Kyoko Iwase frowned, and a whole host of knowledge that didn't originally belong to her forcefully surfaced in her mind.

Bajiquan, joint locks, body techniques...

These were the self-protection measures that Ishihara Sho left her.

Originally, he wanted to directly create the personality of Saeko Busujima to possess, to be her second personality and the spirit behind her to support her in completing her revenge. However, when creating it, he found that because he had no relevant knowledge of swordsmanship in his mind, the Saeko Busujima he created was just an empty shell, not even as good as Hayato Fuurinji, whom he created in the Naruto world by combining various martial arts materials, movie scenes and the influence of fighting games.

Furthermore, Kyoko Iwase's physical condition isn't very good. If she were to inherit a set of fighting techniques directly, the only possible outcome would be a muscle strain, with no other possibilities.

So Ishihara Sho settled for a less ideal approach, using a character whose body resembled Kyoko Iwase as the core. He then combined Bajiquan, the joint lock techniques of The King of Fighters Blue Marie, and the taijutsu knowledge he learned in the Naruto world to create character skills, which he then infused into Kyoko Iwase's body, resulting in her current state of mind filled with fighting knowledge.

As for who Ishihara Shou previously chose as the model for...

It's definitely the devilishly muscular Rin!

Although her title is "Devil Muscles," that's entirely an illusion created by magical enhancement. Rin's physical abilities aren't actually that exaggerated; she's just a little stronger than an average person. When manifested in Kyoko Iwase, there are absolutely no problems or discomforts. At most, she might not get used to it at first.

Then Kyoko Iwase paused, her expression hardening.

"Oh right, I'm going to kill that bitch Hirose Suzu and that bastard Kaneda!" Iwase Kyoko said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with murderous intent.

"Are you really going to do this?" Just as Kyoko Iwase was about to get up, the demonic thought hidden in her mind suddenly spoke up to remind her.

"Who, who's speaking?" Kyoko Iwase's expression changed upon hearing this, and she scanned the room warily as she demanded.

“Me? You can call me Lord Heart Demon,” Ishihara Akira chuckled.

"Your Highness, the Demon Lord?" Kyoko Iwase frowned.

She had no idea about any "Heart Demon Prince," but she had heard of the Sixth Heaven Demon King and such.

"That's right, I am the inner demon under the command of Mara, the sixth demon king. Because I sensed the intense resentment in your heart, I descended from the sixth heaven to respond to your prayers. The knowledge that is now appearing in your mind is my gift to you. Hurry up and thank me," the inner demon said smugly.

Kyoko Iwase remained silent, offering no response to the inner demon's words.

However, I also gained a general understanding of what inner demons are and where they reside.

In one's own heart.

This can be inferred from the fact that it can read its own thoughts.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Are you just going to go straight there and get revenge on that scumbag couple?"

Chapter 122 Criminals

"Then tell me what I should do now?" Kyoko Iwase relaxed, sat on the bed, and asked the so-called inner demon.

"Do you know where Hirose Suzu and that guy Kaneda are staying? Do you know their recent activities? Do you know who they've been in contact with recently, or who they've had conflicts with? Have you found out their recent plans? Have you investigated the area around their residence? Have you thought about how to carry out the murder plan? And what about the escape plan after actually killing someone, etc.? You're going there without any preparation. Are you planning to die together with that scoundrel?" The inner demon questioned him with a look of utter disappointment.

"..." Kyoko Iwase remained silent; she really hadn't considered so many things!

I never imagined that killing someone would be so troublesome...

Of course, this is only for the purpose of escaping punishment. If you just want revenge, then there is no need for that. Just go and do it, and then wait for the police to come and take care of you.

Anyway, Japanese law is what it is. Even if you really kill someone, it's only a sentence of 20-odd years. After you get out, there are relevant privacy and confidentiality regulations. Apart from making you disconnected from society, it seems there are no other major consequences...

"So what you need to do now is buy two pairs of shoe covers, a pair of gloves, and you can take the murder weapon directly from the victim's house. Also, prepare a full-body raincoat for yourself. Oh, remember, buy these items separately from different supermarkets or stores. Then, find out their address and the surrounding environment, try to locate the surveillance cameras, and note their locations..."

"If possible, try to find out the two people's schedules and recent social relationships without alerting their acquaintances... Well, I can help you with that, so it's not too difficult."

"Then, if you want specific execution methods and ways to escape, you can choose a time to take action against them." The inner demon, acting like an old hand, recounted the methods of evading investigation that he had learned from crime dramas like "Serious Crime Squad 6," methods whose usefulness was questionable.

“Okay, I’ll go buy these things in a bit,” Kyoko Iwase said readily.

"Forget it, don't go buy it yourself. Just find a stranger near the supermarket, and I'll help you control them so they can enter the supermarket and buy what you need. That way, there's no need to buy it separately; you can buy everything at once."

After all, you weren't the one who bought the items. In a bizarre country like Japan, where confessions are valued over evidence, as long as you insist that you weren't the murderer and hire a well-known lawyer with a high success rate to defend you, you might even be able to get acquitted, even if you really were the murderer.

It has to be said that Japan's judicial rulings and criminal investigation procedures are a complete waste of space, riddled with problems, leaving one speechless.

"Then let's get started," the inner demon said.

"Ah."

Kyoko Iwase then got up and left the hotel room.

……

At the temple, Ishihara Sho continued practicing the esoteric yoga techniques he had obtained from Aishwarya at his own pace, enhancing his spirituality...

Unexpectedly, instead of receiving news of Kyoko Iwase's successful revenge, he saw the news that Hanako, whom he had previously disposed of in the toilet, had been arrested.

However, this is to be expected, since Hanako in the toilet is an evil spirit from urban legends, and her current host is a girl who has been bullied at school. It is entirely predictable that she would take revenge on the classmates who bullied her after gaining power.

Furthermore, she had no intention of running away, and the crime was committed in full view of everyone—during a lunch break, in front of the female students who bullied her, she pulled a fruit knife from her school uniform and stabbed the ringleader of the bullies to death…

Although he had avenged his great enemy, he had also completely exposed himself.

Then the police arrived, and she was taken away without any resistance, like a walking corpse.

"Sigh, no matter what, her troubles started because of me. Since you helped me complete the test, I'll help you out again." After saying that, Ishihara Akira controlled the demonic thoughts within Hanako's body, which were possessing the female student, and actively suppressed her consciousness, taking over the female student's body to deal with the police interrogation.

At the same time, he took out his phone and quickly searched online for the contact information of the most famous law firm in Nagoya. He then called and offered a large sum of money to hire them to defend the female student.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and resume his yoga practice.

But just two days later, the shrine maiden, who was the vessel for the eight-foot-tall woman, was also captured...

She always wandered around the countryside and near the primary school. Even though she was a girl, her gloomy face, due to her boarding school, made it hard for people not to be wary of her. So, after a while, she attracted the attention of the people in the neighborhood. One day, when she tried to abduct a little boy, they directly knocked her down and took her to the police station.

Well, it seems like one problem after another is brewing.

Left with no other option, Ishihara Akira contacted the lawyers who were defending the female student again, asking them to continue their efforts to defend the shrine maiden.

Naturally, Ishihara Sho also used his demonic powers to control the eight-foot-tall woman's consciousness and gained control of her body.
