After Shindai Sougen left, he already had a plan in mind.
Shindai Aiyi had never encountered any trouble for so many years, but recently, something happened, which meant someone was deliberately interfering.
And with the last known location of Shindai Aiyi's contract before it disappeared, provided by Taisui Xingjun, Shindai Sougen already had a guess.
The Shindai family and the Suo Fang family had several confrontations before.
With business tactics making slow progress, Shindai Sougen was preparing to target Zhoufang Youxi, the eldest daughter of the Suo Fang family.
The Soul-Snatchers, who had a secret trade with Shindai Sougen, dispatched an S-rank evil spirit, intending to possess Zhoufang Youxi and then seize control of the entire Suo Fang family.
However, the plan failed.
This time, Shindai Aiyi lost her contract with Taisui Xingjun in Tokyo again. He thought it over and concluded that the Suo Fang family was the most suspicious.
Previously, Shindai Sougen was worried about how to annex the Suo Fang family, but now that the other party had provoked Taisui Xingjun, the outcome was predictable.
As for what he needed to do now, it was just to send people to investigate Shindai Aiyi's whereabouts and then report the information back to Taisui Xingjun.
Perhaps the Suo Fang family had invited some reclusive expert.
But when facing a god, what can humans do?
No matter how well prepared, in the eyes of a god, it's merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Thinking of this, Shindai Sougen dialed the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
The Shindai family had been laying groundwork for so many years; their influence wasn't just in the business world, but also deeply involved in the island nation's political power.
Currently, more than half of the people in the parliament belonged to the Shindai family, and even the Prime Minister had connections.
And for the next Prime Minister election, it had already been decided internally that it would be a direct descendant of the Shindai family.
By then, half of the island nation's territory would be claimed by the Shindai family.
...
"There are quite a few suspicious individuals outside, aren't there?"
Through the surveillance, Zhoufang Youxi saw several police cars repeatedly patrolling the street outside the manor.
The previously empty street also had several unfamiliar passersby.
Although they were well disguised, their eyes were still intentionally or unintentionally fixed on the manor Rosen had purchased.
At this moment,
Zhoufang Youxi also received a call from her grandfather.
After listening, her expression shifted slightly, then she pressed the mute button and said, "Grandpa just called. He said the Keishicho has been mobilized, and it seems they've listed us as suspicious subjects for surveillance."
The Suo Fang family had been cultivating their influence for so many years, so naturally, they had their own informants within the government.
"The other party seems to have directly mobilized the Keishicho police. Grandpa is currently negotiating with the higher-ups."
"That's strange. There weren't many people around here before."
Yurikawa Hana looked at the same group of people going back and forth on the surveillance and said, puzzled.
"Could it be robbers?!"
"I told you it's the Keishicho, Xiao Hua."
"Then both the underworld and the police are targeting us!"
Listening to Yurikawa Hana's certainty, Yotsuya Miko shook her head helplessly.
"It's probably because of Aiyi. I remember the Shindai family has great influence and owns multiple multinational companies. Such a large family must have considerable power in politics. I suppose their evil god behind them already knows about us."
Sakurajima Mai guessed.
"No way? We were discovered so quickly, and even the Keishicho was mobilized?"
Baoyue Yongzi's mouth hung open.
For an ordinary person like her, the power commanded by the Shindai family was a bit too outrageous.
"Xiaoxiao, what should we do next?"
Hearing this, Baoyue Xiaoxiao also found it a bit difficult.
After all, if the opponents were evil spirits or even evil gods, she could just throw out the dolls sealing evil spirits from her backpack.
But for dealing with ordinary people, and government agencies at that, she hadn't thought of any effective methods yet.
She couldn't possibly let the evil spirits she sealed attack the police, could she?
Although the other side was sent by the Shindai family, perhaps they didn't know the truth at all.
Helplessly, Baoyue Xiaoxiao looked at Rosen.
Since he was a god, he surely had more methods and means than her.
Rosen hadn't expected the Shindai family's initial move to be using secular power.
But there was nothing to worry about.
After all, if he wanted to, he could completely dominate these ordinary people from body to mind at any time.
Although he could ignore them, since the other party had already come to probe, there was no reason for Rosen not to return the favor.
His divine sense spread out, almost instantaneously locking onto the figures of the observers nearby.
There were dozens of them, including both overt and covert sentries.
Immediately after.
Accompanied by the sound of chains echoing in the void.
Without ordinary people seeing it, black chains penetrated through Rosen and into the bodies of those police officers.
At this instant, their souls were enslaved by Rosen.
Although they still retained their original thoughts and will, and even recognized the fact that they were dominated by Rosen, they not only felt no fear but also readily accepted everything.
This was the ability of the Control Devil that Rosen had previously extracted from the chat group.
In the original Chainsaw Man, Makima used this ability to control countless people.
This was Rosen's first time using it, and the effect was surprisingly good.
As long as someone was weaker than him, he could easily dominate them.
It was even more overbearing than Rosen's own Word of Power.
After all, this was a compulsory brainwashing and mind control, and while the coercive power of the Word of Power was also strong, it couldn't control a person's soul.
Of course, the Word of Power could affect a wider range. (Zhao is good)
Now, if Rosen wished, he could even easily change the weather.
And after dominating those people, Rosen also issued them an order to arrest the Shindai family.
Upon receiving the command, the police officers immediately sped away in their cars.
They would complete the orders given by Rosen without hesitation and with utmost loyalty.
Meanwhile, the girls noticed the changes in the surveillance footage.
"My Lord, did you do something?"
Yurikawa Hana asked.
"Just a small trick. Get ready, that evil god should be getting serious now."
Rosen recalled Taisui Xingjun's methods and strength.
"When normal methods don't work, the evil god will use its own power. When those scouts come, I'll leave them to you. It's a good chance to test the results of your training these past few days."
