Behind the Scenes: From Pirates to Tokyo

Chapter 23 Please Help Me Kill Them

Tokyo, Arakawa Ward.

"The station ahead, Machiya Station..."

A night train slowly stopped at the platform of Machiya Station, and the commuters who got off work late came out of the carriage crowded like worker ants.

Most of their faces are filled with numbness, and a small number of people still have pain on their faces. I don't know how long they have stayed in this steel forest and have not adapted to its jungle law, otherwise they would not have pain on their faces.

[The mysterious escaped prisoner has jumped into the sea and died, and the Coast Guard is searching and catching in the sea where he fell. 】

[The miracle of the three-day jailbreak, maybe we will never know the truth behind the miracle. 】

[After the prisoner was released from prison, he killed three people in a row, held a gun, and exploded. 】

[The Kanagawa police are driving wildly in the city regardless of the safety of citizens. May I ask if we give the police too much public power? 】

[If it weren't for the police chase, maybe the prisoner would not choose to jump into the sea in the end. 】

The news screens at the station and some people's mobile phones were jumping with the same news. In the past few days, the prison escapers could be said to have given the whole Japanese a news feast, and countless people participated in the discussion.

I thought that the news about the escaped prisoner would pass like this, but I didn't expect that the other party would end up doing a movie-like drag racing in the city with the police.

This afternoon's chasing battle has earned a lot of attention.

Some people kept swiping their mobile phones, just to see more of the picture of jumping off the building.

There is really nothing new in the lives of most people, and only by watching the news can one feel that this is not an illusory and immutable world.

"Zi Liu."

Along with the turbulent crowd, a special passenger also got off the train with electric current.

Instead of taking the steps or the sidewalk, this particular guest walked straight along the power supply.

"Zi Liu."

After a small flash of lightning, Toru Mizushima sat above the worship hall of a shrine.

The shrine is slightly higher and built on a hillside, so sitting on the worship hall can overlook half of the Machiya town. Of course, Mizushima Toru can also see the "company" that Nakatani Tatsuya served before—"Shimaya Finance company'.

The Island House Company leased a floor of a small building along the street, and there were dozens of 'employees', who were quite dignified. If they hadn't had enough grandeur, they wouldn't have the energy to pull out the original owner, an innocent passer-by, as a scapegoat.

And this small five-storey building looks from the window glass outside, basically all of them are "XX Financial Company" and "XX Lending Company".

Those who don't know think that this place supports half of the economy of Arakawa District.

Although it is impossible to support half of the economy, the lending company of this building has increased the crime rate in Arakawa District a lot.

Incidentally, I have also contributed a lot of actresses to many small film companies-we have not paid off our loan, so there is no problem in pulling you to make a film, right?

"Start a fire that kills the entire building along the street?"

It is not difficult for Toru Mizushima to do such a thing, but is there a better choice.

"Or summon a thunderbolt to cover the entire building?"

This is a bit of a waste of energy, but today the weather in Tokyo is a bit gloomy, and there may be a lot of lightning accumulated in the clouds, so it is not impossible to use the power of nature.

"inappropriate."

Mizushima Toru also abandoned the idea.

He didn't think this method was too laborious, it was just because - he didn't want to be suspected.

Although the "self" in the social sense has already jumped into the sea to his death, if he dies on his front feet, and then all the members of the Shimaya Company, which has a grudge with him, will be finished. This is somewhat abnormal.

It is better to let 'Mizushima Toru' be a dead person in the eyes of everyone, and only live in the eyes of Akizuki Mina.

If her own prisoner is dead, Qiuyue Mina will not be suspected by the police, and Qiuyue Mina's embarrassing situation can also get official attention, no longer being sold by her brother like before, and no one cares.

Just when Toru Mizushima was thinking this way, a voice suddenly came from the worship hall below him.

"Clap clap."

A man wearing glasses shook the shimenawa rope of the shrine a few times, then clapped his palms together a few times and bowed his head in prayer.

"Lord Jianyu Leiming, please bless me, Muraki Heihachiro, this trip goes smoothly."

The man's accent sounds like the Kansai accent, that is, places like Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara, which are quite different from the Kanto represented by Tokyo.

However, the main deity enshrined is the shrine of Takeyu Leiming?
Mizushima Toru looked at the shrine below him, and it was understandable why the man who visited worshiped with a Kansai accent.

Just like people in the southeastern coast of China believe in Mazu, and there are hail temples in some parts of Shandong, although everyone in Japan believes in Shintoism or Buddhism, each place still has its own small beliefs.

For example, Kengo Raimi, a god in Japanese mythology, has its main shrines in the Kansai area, while Takego Raimi's defeated general, 'Kengo Nagatagami' has many shrines in Tokyo.

Jianyu Leiming's status in mythology is the god of war.

Kanto people generally enshrine another god of war-'Suzhan Mingzun'.

Another name that Chinese people are more familiar with is Susanoo.

That is, the one that killed Yamata no Orochi.

But there are too many gods of war in Japan, just like the god of thunder is not only Jianyu Leishen, there are other ducks like Leishen, Huo Leishen, Black Leishen, Cracking Leishen...

While Toru Mizushima was searching for the memory of these folklore knowledge in the original master's mind, Muroki Heihachiro took out a fruit knife from his arms and held it tremblingly in his hand.

"Please bless me on this trip...can you...kill...kill those vampires!"

When the word "kill" was said, Muroki Heihachiro's voice, hands, and whole body were trembling. From Mizushima Toru's perspective, this guy almost cried out on the spot.

But even with such fear, Muroki Heihachiro still insisted and continued: "I know that such a request is strange, but... I can't live anymore."

As if he was treating the silent Baiden as a psychiatrist, Muroki Heihachiro spoke out what he was going to do like pouring beans.

"I lent money to a colleague I've known for many years. He said he wanted a loan for surgery, and he borrowed 400 million from me..." Muraki Heihachiro said that he was about to cry, "That's The money I saved from working in Tokyo for four years..."

Muroki Heihachiro doesn't look very old, that is, he has just graduated from university and has been working for a few years.

The average annual income in Tokyo is close to 600 million yen, but that is the statistical result after the 'average' of high-income groups and low-income groups.
