Chapter 153 The one who killed me is Liansheng the bald donkey! On the sea, ferries sailed towards the pier, bringing all the children on the island and the cult members of Aum Shinrikyo to the shore. A large number of reporters who had heard the news had already gathered nearby, as well as a medical ambulance that the police had called in advance. Some children's injuries are more serious and require timely treatment, physical examinations, and hospitalization for observation. When reporters with cameras and cannons interviewed the rescued children, many of them said that a Buddha appeared in their dreams. The police also revealed a little information, saying that a high-ranking monk was involved in the operation, but did not disclose his specific identity. Faced with this kind of scene, Chiya Hiramiya, Miyaji Iori, and Shinji Mikami had already taken a car away from the dock and left the aftermath to the local police station. In the car, Miyaji Iori held Kimura's soul bean in his palm. "What did you say before? Are we destined to be killed by the gods you believe in?" "That's not the real body of the god! It's just a wisp of spirit!" Kimura refuted strongly.
"You should know Kurokawa Tama, the man in charge of the ritual. He was killed by one of your own people just now." "..." "Your soul has been in our hands for so long. What do you think the rest of Aum Shinrikyo think of you?" Iori Miyaji persuaded, "Should I believe that you are still loyal even though you are in the enemy camp, or should I just kill you?" After chatting for about 30 minutes, Kimura's psychological defenses were completely broken. "As long as you can allow me to reincarnate normally, I will tell you what I know." "Don't worry. Even though you deserve to die a thousand times for what you did, we will still give you a chance to reincarnate." Miyaji Iori made a promise. After all, this is a society ruled by law. Even if a death row inmate is sentenced to death, he will be allowed to have a full last meal. Kimura began to explain. Almost every county has a small base of Aum Shinrikyo, inside which there is a statue of Lord Shiva with a wisp of the god's spirit residing. He has personally visited three bases in Kagawa Prefecture, Okayama Prefecture, and Tottori Prefecture. Shinji Mikami, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, reacted quickly and immediately called other action team leaders in the Demon Division, asking them to go and destroy the Aum Shinrikyo's stronghold based on the information provided by Kimura. After resolving this matter, Iori Miyaji handed Kimura's soul back to Inugami for safekeeping. "If Kurokawa Tama hadn't been silenced, we would have been able to obtain more intelligence and maybe even catch a few big fish." Iori Miyaji felt a little guilty. If he hadn't informed the Demon Bureau and the local police station, no one would have been able to sneak in disguised as a policeman, silence the witness and leave safely. "Don't blame yourself. By doing this, he will expose his identity." Shinji Mikami comforted him. Time passed slowly as Miyaji Iori chatted with Shinji Mikami. Hiramiya Chiye was just listening, thinking in his heart about the leader of Aum Shinrikyo and the gods he believed in. Is there any way to solve them all in one fell swoop?
…… Tottori Prefecture. Wearing a mask, black-framed glasses and with messy hair, Yuo Inoue passed through an alley and came to a house. He took out a key from his pocket, opened the door, turned on the light, took off his mask, changed into a new pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, walked through the living room, and went straight up to the second floor. Inside the bedroom, there is a red shrine with a statue of a god covered with red cloth. Inoue Yuo came to the shrine and respectfully lifted the red cloth, revealing the true face of the statue inside. It was not the heretical Shiva with three eyes and four arms, holding a trident, a conch shell, a water pitcher and a drum, but a graceful statue of the Virgin Mary carved from a whole piece of mutton-fat jade. From the toes all the way up, everything is a flawless masterpiece, except for His hair, which grows wildly, with each strand winding like a tiny poisonous snake. If you look closely, you can see a pair of eyes peeking out from the ends of His hair. Some people in the church once questioned the Virgin Mary's hair, saying it was filled with an eerie feeling and had lost its original flawlessness. At that time, the leader explained: "There is no perfect existence in this world. Pain, suffering, defects, and inadequacies are the norm. The reason why the Virgin Mary's hair is shaped like a venomous snake is that this is the root of the suffering she bears for all living beings." Yes, the Virgin Mary bears the suffering for all living beings. But there are so many sufferings in this world that even the Virgin Mary cannot fully bear them. Our Lady needs nourishment and growth in order to fully bear the sufferings of this world. Those snake-like hairs are the manifestation of the suffering of all living beings that He bears. "The Pure Land of Worry-Freeness, the Immaculate Virgin Mary." Inoue Yuo worshipped the Virgin Mary devoutly, then took out a red bead from the right pocket of his trousers and placed it in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary. Strands of blood-red light shot out from the inside of the bead and entered the body of the pure white statue of the Virgin Mary in front of them. In a few breaths, the red beads were drained of their color and turned into white powder and dissipated, leaving the statue of the Virgin Mary with a faint glow. "Holy Mother, the monk who destroyed our stronghold tonight was very powerful. I only used the statue of Lord Shiva to look at him from afar, and he noticed me." "I didn't think this through. I quickly notified Kurokawa Tama on the island to evacuate, but it was still too late. The monk actually chased us overnight." "I was no match for that monk and could not rescue the believers on the island. I could only kill Kurokawa Tama, then changed my identity and returned to Tottori Prefecture." Inoue Yuo respectfully reported what happened tonight. "Tokyo, Rensheng." The statue of the Virgin Mary slowly conveyed two words. Tokyo? Rensheng? Inoue Yuo thought for a while and looked surprised. A major event happened in the Buddhist community recently. Master Duchen from Mount Koya was defeated in a battle of cultivation and passed away a few days later. The person who defeated Master Duchen and changed the entire atmosphere of Koyasan was Master Rensheng from Tokyo. "So it was Master Liansheng. My defeat was indeed not unfair."
Inoue Yuo murmured and was about to say something, but the light of the statue of the Virgin Mary had dimmed. Alas, I don’t know if it was really the Virgin Mary’s appearance, or the leader was delivering a message through the Virgin Mary’s statue. Thinking of the leader, he shuddered all over and quickly covered the statue with red cloth again. Inoue Yuo looked at the time. It was already 4 ., not far from dawn. Let’s watch the sunrise before leaving. Inoue Yuo boiled some water and made himself a pack of instant coffee. He moved a small table to the balcony, then rummaged through the drawers at home for a while and found two packs of beef jerky that had not expired. Sit cross-legged and wait for the sunrise. After evacuating from the beach, he changed his appearance three times, changed three modes of transportation, and took a detour before returning to his home in Tottori Prefecture. He should not be caught up. After taking a sip of coffee, Inoue Yuo couldn't help but think of Master Liansheng again. This Master Liansheng has become famous recently and has a high level of cultivation. It is said that the Jinguan Sect in Tokyo had bad luck and ran into Master Liansheng, and even the sect's deity, the Great Jinguan God, was killed. Thinking of this, Inoue Yuo frowned slightly and felt inexplicably uneasy. He drank the coffee in the cup, cheered himself up, stood up and prepared to leave overnight. At this moment, his cell phone was vibrating and someone was calling. Inoue Yuo took out his cell phone from his shirt pocket. It was an unfamiliar number, so he chose to answer it. "Central, leave quickly, Master Liansheng has already followed the trail you left behind!" Is this voice from the master of the Tibetan shrine? The owner of the collection always likes to notify messages through mobile phones and other electronic devices. It is said that through magic, it is easy to leave traces of the magic and be pursued by masters. On the contrary, electronic devices are safer for transmitting messages and communicating. Because most of the practitioners with advanced levels of cultivation are old and have little knowledge of using modern electronic devices. If a government department was involved in the investigation, given their speed of action and confidentiality, the news would have been leaked in advance. "Leave without hesitation!" Another urging came from the phone, and then the call was hung up. Inoue Yuo was shocked! That Master Liansheng actually caught up with us! Sure enough, any uneasy premonition may come true. Inoue Yuo didn't dare to delay any longer. He locked the door of his house completely and went to the balcony on the second floor. He looked around from his high vantage point and after seeing nothing unusual, he jumped directly from the balcony.
Next to it, there was already a getaway vehicle he had prepared. After getting in the car and closing the door, Inoue Yuo started the car and left this dangerous place. As the car drove out of the alley, a Zen stick emitting golden Buddha light was thrown from not far away. The Zen stick was stuck straight into the ground, blocking the front of his car. Inoue Yuo's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended nothing had happened. He turned the steering wheel, trying to avoid the stick and pass by the road next to him. A golden scripture wall rises from the ground with a Zen staff as its center. The car misfired immediately. It’s over. Inoue Yuo was disheartened. He knew that Master Liansheng was already chasing him nearby. With my level of cultivation, I definitely won’t be able to escape. After all, the person who came was Master Liansheng! He sat quietly in the car, took out his cell phone and sent a message to the owner of the treasure. [The one who killed me is Liansheng the Bald Donkey! ] Looking at the figure gradually approaching in front of the car, Inoue Yuo sneered, determination flashed in his eyes, and black flames emerged from his palms, burning his mobile phone and setting the car on fire at the same time. Amid the raging flames, Inoue Yuo closed his eyes and devoutly chanted the name of the Virgin Mary. I can finally say goodbye to this world full of suffering. I wonder if I can go to the Pure Land where the Virgin Mary is? It might work? He was so pious that he would rather be burned in flames than fall into the hands of the enemy. Inoue Yuo thought so, with a smile on his face. But soon, he realized that he did not feel the pain of being burned by the flames. Instead, I heard some teasing conversations. "What do you think he wants to do?" "It's obvious that he wants to set himself on fire." "But what about the flames?" “It was taken away.” "Then how should he commit suicide?" "That's a good question, shall we ask him personally?" Inoue Yuo opened his eyes and found that apart from his cell phone which was left on the passenger seat and was mostly burned, there was no trace of fire left in the entire car.
There were two people and a dog standing in front of the car window. One of the Akita dogs had already jumped onto the hood of the car, moved close to the windshield wiper, lowered its head, wagged its tail, and looked at him with a playful expression in its eyes. (End of this chapter)
