"Damn cheap Woman!"
Watching the departing Kawaki Reiko, Kurosawa Shohta slowly crawled up from the ground.
He gritted his teeth, yet felt somewhat confused.
Why would Rin and this cheap Woman know about his relationship with Akiyama Aoi?
After all, just a few days ago, he had just gotten a handle on this Woman and forced her to become his sex slave.
As a result, after only a few days of training, it was discovered.
If it was a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence.
But, if it wasn't a coincidence, then why was it discovered?
It couldn't be that Akiyama Aoi spilled the beans, could it?
Kurosawa Shohta shook his head, impossible, he had a handle on this Woman, she definitely wouldn't dare to expose this matter.
After all, her dream was to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich Madam.
If this matter were exposed, it would do her no good at all.
Her current rich boyfriend would definitely dump her.
So, where did things go wrong?
Unable to figure it out, Kurosawa Shohta, seeing the strange looks from the surrounding neighbors, dejectedly scurried into the house.
No matter what, Rin definitely had to be persuaded to come back.
And that cheap Woman Kawaki Reiko, he also had to make her pay the price.
It's a pity that this time it wasn't just Rin who came, otherwise even if the secret was discovered, he wouldn't have let Rin off easily.
Returning to the house, he rummaged through a hidden compartment in a drawer and found a few white pills.
Kurosawa Shohta's eyes flickered, a cruel look flashing across them.
These white pills were aphrodisiacs he bought at a high price. As long as he gave them to Rin and that cheap Woman, he could forcefully succeed and possess the bodies of these two Women.
By then, as long as he filmed a video, he wouldn't be afraid of these two cheap Women not obeying him?
Given enough time, he was confident he could train both Women into the way he wanted them to be.
Just like that cheap Woman Akiyama Aoi.
She used to look down on him completely, but now she's like a dog, letting him play with her however he wants.
Thinking of Kawaki Reiko's background and her perfect figure, Kurosawa Shohta's eyes were filled with greed and desire.
As long as he could get her, besides getting a perfect sex slave, he could also inherit Japan's enormous wealth.
Directly saving a lifetime of effort.
However, it wouldn't be that simple to take down this Woman.
With her tenth-dan in judo and her background, no one in the entire school dared to offend this Woman.
What's more, Kawaki Reiko had always disliked him.
If it weren't for Rin, a piece of trash like him wouldn't even have the chance to know Kawaki Reiko.
Let alone get close to Kawaki Reiko and secretly drug her.
However, it wasn't completely without hope.
If he used Rin to trick that Woman over, Kawaki Reiko would definitely fall for it.
"cheap Woman, this time I'm going to make you regret it and beg me like a dog!"
A malicious smile appeared on Kurosawa Shohta's distorted face.
He knew Kawaki Reiko looked down on him, and he knew even more that Kawaki Reiko had been trying to persuade Hayakawa Rin to break up with him.
This time, he was going to thoroughly play with this Woman.
"This bastard is really disgusting."
After leaving the apartment, Kawaki Reiko caught up with Hayakawa Rin.
An indescribable look of disgust appeared on her face.
Thinking that she had just touched that bastard Kurosawa Shohta's arm, she felt an unspeakable repulsion in her heart.
"Rin, he treated Hayato like that, Hayato won't really forgive him, will Hayato?"
Looking at the dispirited Hayakawa Rin beside her, Kawaki Reiko couldn't help but say.
No matter what, since this has already happened, she would never agree to her best friend being with such a useless, disgusting scumbag who was two-timing.
If Hayakawa Rin was still infatuated, she would tie her up even if she had to.
"I don't know...."
Hayakawa Rin raised her head, her eyes showing a blank expression. This sudden nightmare made her completely unable to accept it for a moment.
What she couldn't understand even more was why the man who was usually gentle and tolerant towards her would suddenly become like this.
It made her feel completely unfamiliar.
Or rather, everything he showed was just an act.
However, letting her break up with Kurosawa Shohta, deep down she truly felt a little reluctant.
After all, this was her childhood sweetheart since she was little, the man she even promised to walk down the aisle with in the future.
Now, he had done the most intimate things with another Woman.
Her rationality told her that letting go now was the best choice in this situation.
But, her emotions made it impossible for her to make such a decisive decision.
"Reiko, I want to have a drink, can Hayato accompany me."
Hayakawa Rin's eyes were red.
She just wanted to have a good drink now, as if only that could make her feel less uncomfortable.
"Okay, I know a good bar."
Kawaki Reiko, who had never seen her with such a weak expression, looked at Hayakawa Rin's face, which was feigning a strong smile, and couldn't bear to refuse.
The two of them took a taxi to a secluded bar.
They walked in.
Inside the Temple.
"Another day of helping others."
Hayato stretched lazily, thinking about the good deed he had just done, feeling unspeakably satisfied.
It was precisely because of Masters like him, who sacrificed themselves for others, that society's atmosphere would get better and better.
With a few more such meritorious deeds, wouldn't merit flow continuously.
At least Hayato could become a Buddha a few years earlier.
Unfortunately, such good things don't happen all the time.
After seeing off a group of tourists, Hayato glanced at the gradually darkening sky and decided to close for the day.
Just as he was closing half of the Temple gate, he suddenly saw a figure in the distance, hurrying towards Yakushi Temple.
"Master, wait!"
Hayato frowned, but still stopped closing the door.
He hadn't expected someone to come so late?
When the panting figure got closer, Hayato realized it was a middle-aged man dressed simply.
"layman, Yakushi Temple is closing. Do Hayato have something?"
Looking at the man with a hurried and somewhat anxious expression, Hayato asked curiously.
He didn't look like he came to worship the Buddha, but rather like he had some urgent matter.
"Master, please, save our village!"
The middle-aged man with a panicked expression spoke with deep fear in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Hayato immediately became interested.
This is, encountered an Evil Spirit?
"layman, don't worry, speak slowly."
"If This humble monk can help, This humble monk will definitely not stand by and do nothing."
Hayato was full of interest; after all, this was an Evil Spirit.
Transcending an Evil Spirit meant gaining a portion of Merit.
Accumulating little by little, these would all become his stepping stones on the path to becoming Buddha in the future.
"Some time ago, an Evil Spirit appeared in our village. Since then, people have been dying tragically and inexplicably every day. Three people have already died."
With Hayato's assurance, the middle-aged man seemed to have found his backbone and finally calmed down.
Saying this, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"I heard that the Master of the nearby Yakushi Temple is a great Master who can exorcise demons, which is why I came here for help."
"Master, please, you must save us!"
Seeing this, Hayato frowned. To be honest, he really disliked Japan's style of acting like moral blackmail.
They would kneel down at the drop of a hat, looking like they wouldn't get up unless you agreed.
It seemed polite, but in reality, it was entirely a form of blackmail.
Fortunately, Hayato had everything but morals.
Want to blackmail Hayato?
Impossible.
Although he was very interested in Evil Spirits, interest was one thing, and compensation was another.
From just now until now, this guy had been saying nice things, complaining, and giving compliments.
Yet, after talking for a long time, he hadn't shown the slightest bit of sincerity.
He thought a few words would make him take action?
Is Hayato a toy?
Even hiring workers to move bricks requires paying some hard work fees.
Of course, Hayato was a highly moral monk, viewing fame, fortune, and gain as fleeting clouds.
However, while Hayato could do without these things, others absolutely could not fail to provide them.
These were two completely different concepts.
Even performing a normal Buddhist ritual now would yield tens of thousands in compensation, let alone exorcism?
If it got out that he helped people exorcise demons for free, others would think his Buddha Law was worthless.
Everyone would come to Hayato with any trivial matter.
Therefore, this precedent definitely could not be set.
Exorcism was a small matter.
But not mentioning compensation at all made it difficult.
"Layman, although This humble monk does not know where Hayato heard that This humble monk can exorcise demons, the day is already late today. If you have something, please come back tomorrow."
Hayato put his palms together and said politely, his face expressionless as he was about to close the door.
"Wait, Master!"
Seeing Hayato's completely unmoved expression, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and he quickly blocked the door.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"Our village has pooled ten million yens as the fee for the Master to exorcise the demon."
Hearing this, Hayato glanced at the man meaningfully.
Good heavens, dare to embezzle life-saving money?
If he hadn't done this, it seemed this guy wouldn't have mentioned compensation at all.
However, ten million was not a small sum.
Immediately, the topic shifted.
"But then again, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since it is a matter of life and death, saving people is like fighting a fire. This humble monk will go with the layman now."
"Layman, please stand here and do not move. This humble monk will go back and get the ritual implements for exorcism."
Hayato said, turned around, and returned to the Temple.
Just in case, he only left Tanaka Saya to guard the Yakushi Temple and took all the other Evil Spirits with him.
Takayanagi Yukiho was still in the Temple, and aside from Tanaka Saya's resentment completely disappearing and her returning to normal.
The other few Evil Spirits still had their hostility unremoved. Although they had regained their humanity, they might have a relapse at any time.
It was better to keep them with him.
If he encountered any trouble, he could also borrow their power.
Although, he didn't think a mere Evil Spirit could leave him helpless.
"Master, are you going out?"
Takayanagi Yukiho, who had already taken over the job of Temple chef, was wearing an apron and couldn't help but ask curiously as she looked at Hayato, who was dressed as if planning to go out.
"Make dinner as usual. This humble monk is going out to perform a ritual and will be back soon if things go smoothly."
Hayato nodded.
Hearing this, Takayanagi Yukiho didn't ask further, just nodded meekly.
Her eyes didn't dare to meet Hayato's at all.
As soon as she saw Hayato, her mind was filled with images of the Master walking and bestowing blessings upon believers.
0 Asking for fresh flowers 0
Just thinking about it made her feel hot all over.
Hayato didn't pay attention to Takayanagi Yukiho's unusual expression, nor did he know what she was imagining in her mind.
He walked directly out of the Temple.
"Lead the way!"
Closing the Temple gate, Hayato looked at the middle-aged man who was waiting somewhat impatiently and said indifferently.
Following the middle-aged man, he got into a dilapidated Santana.
After leaving the Temple, they drove south, arriving at a somewhat remote village after half an hour.
Calling it a village, it was just a bit less modern than the City.
Looking around, there were two or three-story detached houses everywhere, and there was even a convenience store.
Such villages were not uncommon in Japan.
The population usually ranged from a few hundred to a thousand people.
Although Japan is a small country with limited land resources.
In reality, more than half of Japan's population is concentrated in particularly prosperous metropolitan areas like Tokyo.
Outside the metropolitan areas, there were scattered villages and towns of various sizes.
Because they were far from the comfortable City, most young people had moved to live and work in the City.
Only some relatively poor or elderly people remained in these places.
In such places, the phenomenon of Japan's aging population could be felt more clearly.
As soon as Hayato stepped into the village, he felt the atmosphere of panic that permeated the entire village.
There was also a very faint, but quite powerful Yin energy.
"Can you tell me what has happened in the village recently?"
Hayato walked on the empty street. There wasn't a single person on the entire street, and it was eerily quiet.
He felt the pairs of eyes peeking from behind the windows.
Clearly, this group of villagers had been scared out of their wits by the Evil Spirit and didn't even dare to leave their homes.
Hayato couldn't help but feel a little curious as to why the Evil Spirit in this village could kill people so casually?
It had even killed three people already.
This wasn't right.
All the Evil Spirits he had encountered before had various rules binding them and could not wantonly harm ordinary people.
For example, for Watanabe Mieko to harm ordinary people, she had to use a disc as a medium.
Only people who had watched the disc would have karma with Watanabe Mieko.
As for those who hadn't watched the disc, they couldn't see Watanabe Mieko and wouldn't be harmed.
Whether it was Eight-Foot Lady or Tanaka Saya.
Each of them had special rules binding them, but the Evil Spirit in this village was very special.
According to this guy named Lin Xiang Taro, the Evil Spirit appeared three days ago and would kill one villager every night.
The villagers who were killed included men and women, and even a child.
There was no pattern whatsoever.
This random killing method made Hayato feel like he didn't know where to start.
Therefore, he could only look for a breakthrough point from the recent events in the village.
The birth of an Evil Spirit is not without trace.
On the contrary, an Evil Spirit is only conceived under specific circumstances.
An Evil Spirit cannot appear out of thin air, nor can it attack the villagers of this village for no reason.
Therefore, there must be some reason he didn't know that caused this Evil Spirit to be born.
Moreover, this reason must be related to this village.
After all, there are many ways for an Evil Spirit to be born.
And these methods have one thing in common: the Evil Spirit must have encountered some inhumane treatment while still alive.
Only intense unwillingness and resentment can breed a powerful Evil Spirit.
After the Evil Spirit is born, it will retaliate against the people it hated the most.
The villagers of this village being harmed one after another indicates that they all have some connection with the Evil Spirit.
Otherwise, the Evil Spirit would not be able to harm them.
It's not that it doesn't want to, but that it can't.
Without cause and effect as a medium, the Evil Spirit is an existence in two different dimensions for ordinary people; it is something that doesn't exist.
The existence of cause and effect allows the dimensions between the Evil Spirit and ordinary people to overlap and interact.
Under such circumstances, the Evil Spirit can truly harm ordinary people.
Therefore, this guy must have hidden something he doesn't know.
Hayato stopped, looking at Lin Xiang Taro with calm eyes.
Seeing Lin Xiang Taro's shifty eyes and guilty expression, he knew he had guessed correctly.
This guy definitely knows something he hasn't told him.
"If you don't speak, then This humble monk can do nothing about this matter."
Hayato didn't hesitate, turning around and leaving directly.
"Wait, Master!"
Seeing Hayato really about to leave, Lin Xiang Taro finally panicked a little, quickly stopped Hayato, and honestly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
"Our village is very remote. Those capable young people have all gone to big cities to work and settle down, leaving behind only old people and the poor."
"As Hayato knows, young men in poor places like ours can't afford to marry, and no Woman will marry into a place like this, so a long time ago there was a tradition that whenever there was a young man in the village ready to marry, they would... spend money to buy a suitable Woman from outside to marry and have children."
Buying Women to marry?
"We also have no choice in this matter."
Looking at Hayato's gradually cold gaze, Lin Xiang Taro had an innocent expression on his face, still trying to explain.
