You say this is a love game?

The painful howls sometimes sounded like birds singing and sometimes like children crying.

Finally, it fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.

A priest came forward and pushed the faceless figure's shoulder.

The priest took out the photo from his arms and said with awe: "You are Dongtian Taozi."

"Higashida Momoko..."

The faceless figure muttered to herself in a dull voice, her face rapidly distorted, gaining facial features in the blink of an eye, and her body shape also rapidly changed until it looked exactly like the cute and lovely girl in the photo.

"Okay."

The Venerable said loudly.

Dong Tianling, who had already known the process in advance, climbed up excitedly. She staggered towards the curtain and saw a figure running out from behind the curtain and trotting into her arms.

"Mom...I miss you so much..."

Such a heartwarming scene is naturally an incredible miracle for believers.

However, the Venerable raised his hand and silenced the noisy people.

"This is the meaning of cultivation. It was Dongtian's devotion and my power that allowed her daughter to return from her lost state."

"However, Dongtian's karmic obstacles have not yet been completely eliminated. Even if she can temporarily find her daughter, it won't last forever... She must devote herself even more to spiritual practice and abandon worldly desires until all her karmic obstacles are completely eliminated."

"And until then, she can only be reunited with her daughter here."

The believers bowed their heads and knelt, reciting prayers again.

This frenzied scene did not subside until the practice was over and the Venerable left the hall.

The Venerable always acts alone.

She left the hall and quickly drove to the outskirts of Night Light City.

There is an abandoned mining tunnel in this area.

At the deepest part of the tunnel, there was already a figure.

The Venerable held a lamp, and the light illuminated the area.

A woman with a bloated abdomen, looking pregnant, was bleeding from her lower body, and her body was also covered in blood. She sat on the cold rocks, holding a little boy of five or six in her arms, coaxing the boy, who had a dull look on his face, and gently fiddling with his nose.

Crows were jumping lightly around her, their scarlet eyes looking at the Venerable who had entered the depths of the tunnel.

The Venerable, that is, Tsuchiya Saki.

Tsuchiya Saki, who was always mysterious in front of his believers, immediately knelt down when he saw this woman, kowtowed to her several times, and then raised his head tremblingly.

"What instructions does the great Bodhisattva have?"

Tsuchiya Saki claimed to her believers that she had attained enlightenment in the Himalayas and achieved the status of "Ki'an the Great Bodhisattva". This is actually a common practice of cult leaders. They always find a few famous mountains and rivers to talk about how they attained enlightenment in order to increase the credibility of their words.

She has never been to the Himalayas.

Believers called her "Zi'an Mother Bodhisattva", but the turning point that transformed the "Happiness Relief Society" into the "Red Lotus Seed Guardian Society" was actually the pregnant woman sitting in the tunnel... This sad pregnant woman who had been pregnant for an unknown period of time but still could not give birth to the baby in her belly.

She was looking everywhere for her child who had been born with difficulty.

The pregnant woman raised her head slightly, revealing a heartbroken face beneath her hair. She seemed to be crying with resentment and asked, "Where is the person I want you to find?"

"Someone told me,"

"He has to die."

……

……

on the other side.

"Don't, don't, don't kill me. I was lying to you before, but now it's different. The Venerable has truly attained enlightenment. She's become a Buddha! She can help people find missing children, and she can definitely help you find your sister. Now it's all true... Everything I said is true!"

"what!!"

"You, you must also be a god, a god who controls thunder and lightning! Just like the venerable one who has attained Buddhahood! So please forgive my mistakes—Ah, ahhhh!!"

In order to survive, did you even call out the name "God"?

Mizutani Makoto found it funny.

Even being called a god by the priests of a cult is somewhat unlucky.

"Pfft!!"

There was a flash of lightning, and with a sound similar to cloth being torn, flesh and blood were savagely cut apart.

Mizutani Makoto swung the sword with a blood shake, shaking off the blood beads on the blade of the Shizuku sword, and then sheathed the sword.

Chidori's figure emerged in the lightning, looking at the headless corpse in front of him, then pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the Shizumizu sword in Mizutani Makoto's hand, and immediately snorted disdainfully.

It's just a rubbish katana with a little bit of weak spirituality...

Mizutani Makoto put away Shizumi's sword and, noticing Chidori's temper, said, "Just leave this kind of scum to Shizumi. I'm afraid of dirtying your sword."

The girl floated in mid-air, her bird earrings spinning faster and faster.

"Knowing who to be cruel to and who to be kind to... this is also a skill."

she said suddenly.

"So how did I perform?"

Mizutani Makoto asked back.

"It's not easy to carry out this principle to the end. You can at least be considered a decent person, so I guess you've passed the test."

You said so much just to praise him in a roundabout way?

This guy is pretty cute.

Chidori continued, "These guys are dead, they're just a bunch of scum. What are you going to do next? Are you going to wipe out their entire lair as well?"

Mizutani Makoto said frankly: "That's what I think."

In Japan, the problem of cults is very serious.

The reason why a cult is a cult can be understood by listening to their teachings.

What about the Aum Shinrikyo that claims the end of the world is coming and people use extreme practices to escape it? What about the Happy Science cult that claims to have the "supreme truth beyond all religions" and can talk to Jesus and Buddha? What about the World Christian Unification Society (Unification Church) that completes the "unfinished work of salvation" on behalf of Jesus? This is also the cult supported by the prime minister who was elbowed by the Japanese server's top male gunner.

There is also the Friends of Truth, Myojoji Temple, and the Dharma Flower Three Dharmas…

If we were to review all these religions one by one, there would truly be countless immortals and people shining like stars.

But it is not surprising that these cults can spread in Japan - this is also well-known hot knowledge. Japan is a country where even the prime minister dares to stand up for cults.

It is safe to say that in Japan today - nine out of ten cult leaders who are able to carry out cult activities in the local area must have a background in officialdom or the underworld, and the remaining one at least has the support of a wealthy businessman behind the scenes. Otherwise, if they dare to touch something like a cult, the frustrated city government will really dare to take action against those who are blind.

In addition, the death penalty in Japan is basically impossible to implement.

The death penalty requires the signature of the Minister of Justice. How many people are sentenced in a year?

For example, wealthy and powerful cult leaders will not be arrested even if they are reported. Even if they are arrested, they will most likely use money to buy connections and become local tyrants in prison for a few years, and then continue to harm the world after being released from prison.

After realizing the problems of the "Honglianzishukai", Mizutani Makoto never thought about calling the police or anything like that.

That's really funny.

As long as you understand whose money this group of people makes and how they destroy the spirits of others, it is absolutely impossible to feel sympathy for the cult leaders and cult priests.

--kill.

Our ancestors once said: If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening.

Brother Kong is telling you: If you hear news about a cult during the day, you can send them to hell at night.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at Yoshida Akira behind him.

This vengeful spirit looked like an idiot, staring straight at the direction where the priests died.

Obviously, these two tasks are related.

Mizutani Makoto originally wanted to kill Yoshida Akira together with him, but now he has different ideas. He calls on Satori Yoshiko to help watch over Yoshida Akira. This little vengeful spirit at the bottom of the paper can't struggle much, so it is enough to let the little god of fortune watch over him.

As for him, he was planning to go to a senior nursing home.

That place was the one that Yuuma Nishiyama reported to him before he died. He didn't know whether Yuuma Nishiyama lied to him or not, but it didn't matter whether he lied or not. He couldn't let Yuuma Nishiyama continue to live under his nose. If he was deceived, he would think of a way on his own and start with Yoshida Akira.

In the "twist".

Mizutani Makoto left with his back to the apartment building.

The "distortion" finally dissipated, and the priests who were trapped in the temporary barrier were scattered all over the ground. It happened to fall in front of someone who was walking with a dog. The big dog immediately howled in fear, and looked at the charred flesh and blood without any appetite.

The owner's reaction was even more violent, and he threw the leash away on the spot.

The dog owner ran away, screaming at the top of his lungs: "Someone's dead!!"

As for Mizutani Makoto, he never had any contact with this group of priests in real life from beginning to end.

In the eyes of others, it might seem that this group of priests disappeared out of thin air, and then reappeared out of thin air after a while, becoming parts that needed to be super-assembled and scattered all over the ground.

Now, it's getting late.

Most of the pedestrians on the street were on their way home. The closer they got to the sanatorium, the fewer people there were. Occasionally, a few cars would pass by on the road, but none of them caught Chidori's attention. It was obvious that they were not haunted by any vengeful spirits.

But at the end of the road, the high-end sanatorium is ordinary, filled with sick patients who sit in the yard leisurely and enjoy the breeze as the sun sets.

It's not that Makoto Mizutani is not sociable.

He made full use of his age and went up to ask the old man at the door. When he heard the name "Honglianzi Shouhui", the old man immediately frowned.

The old man had never heard of this thing, but he was experienced and could tell what it was at a glance. He advised him not to be superstitious about some messed-up cults. Even if he really wanted to believe in religion, he could choose any of Shintoism, Buddhism, or Christianity.

"What's this Zi'an Cimu Bodhisattva? Isn't that just a play on the name of Zi'an Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"What's the purpose of Zi'an Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? He's supposed to liberate the souls of aborted babies from suffering and bring them happiness... Alas, it's just self-consolation for a bunch of women who've had abortions. They even like to ask temples to build Zi'an Ksitigarbha statues in the name of their aborted babies and enshrine their aborted babies there... It's really weird."

"But no matter how weird they are, they are still Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. They are upright and honest. What about Zi'an Cimu Bodhisattva? I've never heard of her. She must be a fake."

"Don't get involved with those dirty things. You won't be able to clean them up when the time comes."

Mizutani Makoto nodded.

"You are quite knowledgeable, old man."

"That's right, old man. I work in literature. Even though I'm too old to hold a pen now, I knew a lot before. Do you want to talk to me again?"

Those who understand, understand. It is very likely that he is an unknown writer... In Japan, writers have a very high social status. Those who are famous for their literature are respected wherever they go. Having an affair can be considered a "romantic" act by the writers, which also attracts many people to work in the literary industry.

But how many literary writers can become famous?

It's just a fantasy before failing and starving to death.

It's good enough to be able to support yourself by writing books. Like the old man who wrote books all his life and then lay in a sanatorium for recuperation, it can probably be considered a good ending.

Mizutani Makoto went into the sanatorium again to investigate personally, and found that there was indeed no trace of religion in this place.

Chidori: "He has no demonic aura. Did he lie?"

Mizutani Makoto: "Maybe they were a little clever with the address."

Still refusing to cooperate before dying?

"Is this guy so cunning? Humph, this boy must not be allowed to stay."

After leaving the sanatorium, Makoto Mizutani calmed down and quickly decided to contact his connections.

——Wow monster.

——Miyamizu Inaba.

Needless to say, Wa Yao has a lot of connections. It just so happens that Wa Yao is currently searching Night Light City. It is better to just let it change direction and search for any areas nearby where vengeful spirits have appeared.

or...

Mizutani Makoto thought of Yoshida Akira's appearance at that time, which seemed to be almost growing a bird's beak, and then thought of Tongzi's expression of "bird in a cage"... He quickly typed something in the chat box.

[Blue-haired Water Monster: Also, you can keep an eye out for the "bird demon" element... Are there any evil bird demons in Night Light City? If so, please let me know.]

[Wow: Yes! Mizutani-sama!]

At the same time, Mizutani Makoto also thought of Miyamizu Inaba.

He has actually always been in contact with Miyamizu Inaba.
