Shino lowered his eyelids and softly chanted: "Om Mani Padme Hum..."
The low Sanskrit sounds carried a compassion that could deliver the Souls of the dead.
The thugs kneeling and begging for mercy felt their bodies tremble like sieves. They discovered with horror that their bodies were beginning to slowly dissipate, turning into specks of starlight and merging into the air.
"No... don't..."
"Great Master, have mercy... we won't do it again..."
"Ah..."
The screams and pleas for mercy stopped abruptly.
All the remaining members of the Inukai Group vanished into nothingness within the Sanskrit chant, as if they had never existed.
After finishing the chant, Shino slowly raised his head and looked around.
It was deathly silent now, with only the breeze blowing, making a whistling sound as if mourning the lives lost.
He let out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
In fact, everything just now was a calm front he had put on.
As an experienced "charlatan," he was well-versed in the way of "playing god." At times like this, the more profound and mysterious he appeared, the more he could intimidate the opponent.
However, this time, he had "played" it a bit too big.
Facing those twenty-plus ferocious gang members and that eerie little demon, he had actually been panicking inside.
Especially that little demon—even though it was just a low-level demon, it was still an existence he couldn't have matched at the time.
If the Vajra-Raja Manifestation hadn't appeared in time, he would probably be a cold corpse by now.
Thinking of this, Shino felt a wave of lingering fear, but also a surge of uncontrollable excitement.
This was transcendent power!
With a flick of a finger, things turned to ash!
This feeling of controlling life and death was truly wonderful!
He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him, his heart filled with grand ambition.
"Whew..."
Shino took a few deep breaths to calm his agitated mood.
He looked around and began to clean up the battlefield.
Although the Inukai Group headquarters was dilapidated, it was a gang's base after all, so there should be plenty of "good stuff."
Shino wouldn't forget his primary job of "Collecting Alms."
He set off and began searching through the wreckage.
Soon, he found a safe in an office.
The safe door had already been violently broken by him earlier, leaving the contents exposed.
Stacks of brand-new Yen were neatly arranged, giving off the scent of ink.
Besides cash, there were also gold bars, gemstones, luxury watches, and other high-end items.
Shino's eyes lit up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"amitabha, how wonderful, how wonderful."
As he spoke, he unceremoniously pocketed these things.
These were all obtained through "alms-giving" and rightfully belonged to him.
Besides these, Shino also found a large pile of IOUs.
He knew that the Inukai Group usually engaged in loan sharking, and these IOUs were evidence of their crimes.
Shino picked up the IOUs and looked at them carefully.
The borrowers included ordinary salarymen, desperate entrepreneurs, and even some young students.
For various reasons, they had borrowed high-interest loans from the Inukai Group and fallen into an endless abyss.
Shino sighed, a flash of pity in his eyes.
He collected all the IOUs and burned them to a crisp.
The blazing fire illuminated his face, as if purifying the world's sins.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes"
Shino said softly.
This round of "alms-giving" was quite fruitful.
Shino put everything he had gained into the System Space.
This System Space was one of the "Golden Fingers" he had obtained when he transmigrated. It could store items and was very convenient.
After doing all this, Shino turned and walked toward the interior of the building.
He vaguely sensed that there was still an Aura of life inside this dilapidated building.
Shino followed the direction of his senses, searching all the way.
Eventually, he discovered a hidden chamber within a secluded room.
To be precise, it was a prison cell.
The door to the cell was a heavy iron one, covered in rust and appearing quite aged.
Shino walked up to the iron door and gave it a gentle push.
"Creak..."
The iron door let out a piercing screeching sound as it slowly swung open.
Inside the cell, the light was dim, and the air was thick with a damp, musty smell.
A little blonde girl was curled up in the corner, her body trembling violently.
The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, wearing a tattered dress. Her blonde hair was a mess, her face was covered in grime, and her watery eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
Seeing the little girl, Shino felt a pang in his heart.
He recalled the plot of the Bilbe Black.
That demon-worshipping intersex person named Kitami Reika required virgins.
The little girl before him was very likely Kitami Reika's next target.
