I teach judo in Tokyo.

When the celestial being of Fenglin Temple interrogated Jiadilu.

Sousuke Atobe was still wearing a mask, and he stood beside him, gazing at Gaddiru's condition.

【Yamata no Clan - King of Fangs: Gadeer】

Age: 42 (?) years old

[Possesses entry 1: Biting Fang]

[Possesses entry 2: ? ? ? ? (Invalid)]

[Possesses Protective Technique 1: My Style 52]

[Possesses Protective Technique 2: ? ? ? ? (Ineffective)]

[Current Status: My name? Jia Dilu...]

Truth serum works well.

Atobe Sousuke didn't interrupt; he simply listened.

Fenglinji Tenjin seemed to be making the most of the time, so he asked questions one after another very quickly.

However, what puzzled Sōsuke was that the Amanto Elder seemed to be deliberately avoiding any mention of the "Yamata clan," and the questions he asked were very roundabout. He wondered what the Elder was afraid of.

Celestial Being: "Have you been hunting down superhumans lately?"

Jia Dilu: "Yes..."

Celestial Being: "For what purpose?"

Gadiru: "To speed up the recovery of my strength..."

Celestial Being: "Restore what power?"

Gadiru: "The Power of Fangs..."

When the "Power of Fangs" was mentioned, Gadil's expression showed some pain and struggle.

Seeing this, Furinji Tenjin immediately changed the subject: "How many people did you kill to regain your power?"

Jia Dilu's expression softened: "Forty...more than that...I don't remember."

Upon hearing his answer, Furinji Tennin and Atobe Sousuke exchanged bewildered glances.

Did this Jia Dilu only kill more than forty people?

The question is, if the number of superhumans who died exceeded one hundred, who killed the rest?

Fenglin Temple Tenjin slowly asked, "What about the others? Were they killed by your companions?"

Jia Dilu looked bewildered: "Companions? I... my companions didn't participate, it was all by myself..."

He suddenly stopped, his face contorted in struggle once more.

Sosuke finally understood. Although this person had been injected with a large amount of Truth Essence, he would subconsciously resist when it came to thinking about matters related to his "Yamata no Clan".

No wonder the celestial being from Fenglin Temple asked such a cautious question.

Seeing that Gadir seemed to be losing control, Furinji Tenjin immediately changed the subject again: "Gadir, listen to me, why are you so eager to kill people to regain your power?"

"For...for...the ceremony..."

Jia Dilu looked even more conflicted, and he gave irrelevant answers to several of Feng Linji Tianren's questions.

Clearly, the attempt to change the subject failed.

His face showed increasing struggle, but his eyes gradually became clearer.

"He's about to regain his senses," Furinji Tenjin said with a frown, looking helpless.

At this moment, Sosuke interrupted.

"What ceremony?"

Where will the ceremony be held?

What would you do?

"How many of the eight kings of the Yamata clan are there now, and who are they?"

For each of the four consecutive questions, Jia Dilu gave nonsensical answers.

Moreover, each question made Jia Dilu's face even more ferocious.

Then, his eyes cleared, and he suddenly raised his head, glaring fiercely at Atobe Sousuke.

"Interesting, I actually fell for your trick..."

"However, you are being far too naive to think you can get those answers out of me."

He sneered, his face devoid of any fear.

Sosuke chuckled: "One last question, who is your master?"

Gadil glanced at him disdainfully: "You are not worthy to know the name of my lord. Just wait for your death."

After he finished speaking, he shuddered, his cold smile remaining, but blood slowly trickled from his mouth.

Then the pupils gradually dilated.

he died.

Atobe Sousuke remained silent.

"Yes, he died by severing his own heart meridian."

The tenjin from Furinji Temple next to him sighed: "I've seen this before, it's just like this."

Sosuke took off his mask and smiled faintly: "This is the first time I've seen this before. They really are fearless."

"Unfortunately, apart from knowing that there are other forces hunting down superhumans besides him, we were unable to get any other information out of them."

Fenglin Temple Celestial scratched the back of his head.

Sosuke smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Clearly, the fact that Elder Tenjin couldn't get the answer didn't mean that Sosuke couldn't get it.

Although Jia Dilu didn't answer the last few questions verbally, the answers surfaced in his mind.

And this has already been clearly seen by Sosuke through the system panel.

However, it is not appropriate for him to tell Furinji Tenjin what he asked about at this time.

After all, this terrifying ability to read minds would inevitably cause him a lot of trouble if others, especially important figures, found out about it.

Let him go back and think it over carefully before trying to pass the message on to Furinji Tenjin.

Having made up his mind, Atobe Sousuke picked up where Elder Amanto left off: "Well, since he only killed more than forty people and his companions didn't kill anyone, it means that other forces are also hunting down superhumans. Elder, what kind of people do you think they could be?"

Furinji Tenjin thought for a moment: "Japan was one of the bases of the Yamata clan in ancient times, and the mad race forces in Europe and America are also related to their legends. I heard that they are vampires and witches... But to be sure, there is currently insufficient evidence."

He paused for a moment, then said, "However, based on the characteristics of the deceased, the possibility of him being a vampire is very high."

Sosuke nodded to indicate that he understood. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to give a heads-up in advance: "Elder, I heard about a ceremony at the intersection of Jiadi Road today, which made me feel uneasy. Could they be planning something at the King of Fighters tournament?"

Fenglinji Tenjin nodded solemnly: "To be honest, this was the first possibility that came to my mind. The Yamata clan's ritual is obviously not simple. If they really intend to do it during the tournament, it's definitely something no less than a terrorist attack..."

The more he talked, the more likely it seemed, and before he knew it, he had stopped talking to Sosuke.

"Alright, Sousuke, you go back first. I need to report this to the officials right away. If they really intend to do something, they'll probably do it on the day of the finals. We need to prepare in advance!"

Sosuke's eyebrows twitched: "Elder, why does it have to be the finals? If I were planning this, I wouldn't choose to attack during the finals when the defenses are strongest. I would have made my move during the semi-finals a few days later..."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Fenglin Temple Celestial was deep in thought.

He sighed helplessly.

There's not much more to say.

However, Sousuke did learn from Gadir's thoughts that Goenitz's plan was to officially take action during this semi-final.

If the organizers plan to deploy their defenses only during the finals, they will likely suffer a significant loss.

That will inevitably result in a large number of innocent casualties.

However, what troubled Sosuke even more was the "master" at the intersection of Kade Road in the last question.

Orochi, the Serpent King.

What kind of being is He?

Chapter 376 Appearance

Inside an ordinary house in Tokyo.

Chris hurriedly pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Hmm? Why are you the only one back? Where's Gadilu?" Sharmi asked curiously while sipping her coffee.

"I was attacked, rendered unable to fight in a single encounter, and then captured." Chris poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down. Thinking of Sosuke's fierce swordsmanship, he still felt lingering fear.

Although he was one of the highest-ranking "Four Heavenly Kings" among the "Eight Kings" of the Yamata clan, he was ultimately reborn into the body of a young boy. His primary personality was based on his original personality, and he would indeed feel fear when he saw a formidable opponent.

That's right. Although the Eighth Prince possesses unlimited reincarnation abilities, he naturally also has corresponding limitations.

Those who accept the "reincarnation" of the Yamata clan will inherit the will and mission of the Eight Kings, but their main memories and personality will remain with the original physical body.

Therefore, it was only after being defeated and imprisoned by Furinji Amanto that someone like Goenitz, who had lived for a very long time, did not immediately commit suicide like the others.

He had lived too long—he couldn't bear to part with the memories and emotions of this physical experience.

"Arrested?" Sharmi chuckled. "Hmph, that was an expected outcome."

"While absorbing the essence of superhumans is a good way to accelerate awakening and restore power, doesn't he even consider just how many capable people there are in Tokyo right now..."

Shermie made a sarcastic remark, showing no sign of sadness for her companion.

After all, the Eight Kings possess the ability to reincarnate, so even if they are captured, the worst outcome would be suicide.

Just then, Goenitz's voice came from upstairs: "Oh? Gadillo has been arrested?"

“Yes, we’ve been targeted by a master.” Chris raised his voice slightly.

Soon, Goenitz, Mature, and Weiss, who had also heard the news, came out of their respective rooms.

"Even at crucial moments, he still has to lose personnel. That guy 'Tooth' never lets us have an easy time." Mai Zhuo said with a mocking smile.

She and Weiss had always been looked down upon by that guy because of their lack of strength, and they had long disliked him.

Even though they were all four of the "Eight Kings" and their status was roughly equal, they were still subjected to additional contempt from those of the same rank.

Weiss sneered, "That brainless bastard went too far. He killed forty or fifty people. That's no way to court death."

Goenitz waved his hand gently.

His expression was calm and composed: "Although the chances are very low, since we've been caught, there's a risk that we'll be implicated. Let's move first... Mai Zhuo, could you please arrange a new place for us?"

Mature smiled and nodded, then left with Vice.

Goenitz watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then turned to Shermie and Chris: "Although Gadir isn't very bright, I was actually hoping to rely on his ability to quickly recover his strength. Now that we've lost a member, for the sake of my lord's stable arrival, I'd like you two to go and retrieve 'that thing.'"

"That thing?" Sharm was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "'Spirit Abode'? They're actually going to use it..."

Goenitz smiled and nodded: "After all, this is the one in thousands of years where our Lord has the greatest chance of descending."

Shermie and Chris couldn't help but show their excitement.

With that thing, they can experience the long-lost "power" again!

......

After Atobe Sousuke died at Kadeiro, he bid farewell to the Tenjin of Furinji Temple and returned to the dojo.

It was only just after nightfall.

As soon as Sousuke returned to the dojo, he was surrounded by a group of girls.

"How was it? Any results?" Yae Meixuan asked directly.

The other disciples also looked at him with curiosity, clearly interested in such a major event involving the deaths of hundreds of people.

"Yes, we caught someone."
