JOJO hiding in the hunter world
#250 - :After the War
After the Hyakume鬼 fled, everyone gradually regained control of their bodies.
Two people had choked themselves too hard while under control, resulting in temporary shock, but thankfully they were rescued in time and didn't die.
Other than the two demi-humans who gained the power of the yokai, everyone else was basically unharmed.
Later, when they went outside, they discovered that the logistics team blocking the street and the female reporter were all dead, having strangled themselves to death, their eyeballs gouged out.
It was speculated that Hyakume鬼 had dealt with them before fighting Jon and the others. With Hyakume鬼's abilities, controlling them would have been easy. The logistics personnel, once controlled, wouldn't even be able to speak, so they likely had no chance to warn Hasegawa Taiichi and the others.
All five logistics team members guarding that direction were killed without exception.
This fight was indeed thrilling. If that Hyakume鬼 hadn't chickened out at the end, everyone except Jon, who could escape with Mirror Man, would have died.
Jon himself could enter the mirror world with his mind without needing a substitute, but to save others, he had to rely on Mirror Man to pull them in. Now that everyone was unable to move, Jon could only save himself.
Fortunately, he came up with a clever plan of 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' in a moment of desperation, scaring away the two demons.
However, Jon also lost a very good opportunity to directly kill Hyakume鬼.
Actually, there wasn't much time to weigh the pros and cons at that time. Although the Red Oni was slower than Jon, it was still inhuman. There wasn't time for much thinking, and he made the choice based on his gut feeling.
Of course, Jon was still a bit worried afterward, wondering if killing that Hyakume鬼 just now would have prevented many deaths.
If Hyakume鬼 appeared in a large gathering place, the consequences would be unimaginable...
"Miss, are you alright? Are you seriously injured?" Yamanaka Shuichi, like a scumbag pretending to be a caring older brother, seemed to be comforting the lady with the Bone Woman ability.
The Bone Woman lady seemed frightened and forced a smile, waving her hand, "I'm fine, sir, thank you for your concern. Fortunately, I only suffered some superficial injuries, nothing serious."
"Let me see where you're hurt. You need to value your body."
"Our demi-humans have the same body structure as ordinary humans in human form. Even X-rays can't detect anything," the Bone Woman lady replied calmly.
"No, you misunderstood me. I really just want to see where you're hurt. Can I take a look?"
The Bone Woman lady shyly took two steps back, "No need, my injury is on my ribs, it's inconvenient..."
Stop it, you beast. You want to look at the girl's chest? You're completely disgracing our Hunter Association.
What the Bone Woman lady said was the truth. She's an honest child.
The man with the Dojoji Bell ability was completely ignored. However, he had an unapproachable demeanor, and apart from Hasegawa Taiichi, who cared as the team leader, no one wanted to try to get close.
Very interesting, Jon noticed that most of the team members, including Hasegawa Taiichi, looked at the two demi-humans who had accepted yokai power with fear and vigilance.
Before long, Yamanaka Shuichi seemed to have used his handsome appearance and mature man's charm to help the Bone Woman lady out of her gloom.
Damn it, why is it me who's pretending to be cool, and me who's driving away the demons, but why is no one chatting with me?
The way these people looked at Jon was very respectful. Jon could tell that they were still envious of his power, but they didn't say anything to Jon other than thank him.
Aren't these people gossipy? Jon had a whole act prepared with nowhere to perform it.
More than ten minutes later, the medical team arrived. Yamanaka Shuichi was already chatting happily with the Bone Woman lady. If it weren't for the confidentiality agreement, the Bone Woman lady would probably have revealed her entire life story.
In the end, when the combat team left, they waved goodbye to each other, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
Jon patted Yamanaka Shuichi on the shoulder, "Stop looking, let's go too."
Jon doesn't drive and doesn't have a driver's license. Because of the previous lockdown, there wasn't even a passerby, let alone a taxi, in the area at this time.
To get back to his hotel, he still had to rely on Yamanaka Shuichi. As for his womanizing, Jon wasn't familiar with Yamanaka Shuichi and didn't know what kind of person he was, so he couldn't judge.
"Let's go eat yakiniku tonight!"
"Okay, I just expended a lot of energy."
Once in the car, Jon looked at Yamanaka Shuichi teasingly, "Are you sincere about that Bone Woman lady, or are you acting to get information?"
Apart from the initial demi-human form being the same as an ordinary human, there was basically no useful information later.
Instead, Yamanaka Shuichi kept telling stories, and the Bone Woman lady rarely had a chance to interrupt.
This is actually irrelevant. Jon just wanted to satisfy his gossipy heart.
"Both. I discovered some interesting things related to one of my guesses..."
Jon was a little surprised. Weren't you the one who was talking the whole time? The Bone Woman lady basically didn't say anything except to agree with you.
"What did you see? She said that the demi-humans in human form are the same as ordinary humans. Everyone present, including her, believes that. I used mind reading and didn't detect any concealment."
"I probably guessed this information too, but that's not what I'm talking about. Do you know a basic value of the Sakura Country?"
Selling a secret? Although Jon himself really liked selling secrets to show off, he felt a little uncomfortable when others sold secrets. Unfortunately, the Atum God could only read 'yes' and 'no,' and couldn't see the details.
As the saying goes, speaking halfway is asking for a beating.
Yamanaka Shuichi showed off appropriately and then told Jon his thoughts: "Our Sakura Country highly admires and respects the strong, so you can gain their respect after defeating the Red Oni.
But what's interesting is that they look at their teammates, who they spend day and night with, with strong vigilance. Everyone looks at the only two demi-humans on the team with this emotion."
Jon immediately retorted, "After all, this is the power of yokai. It's natural to be afraid, right?"
"No, they don't look at us that way. Another suspicious point is the personalities of Miss Chiyo, who has the Bone Woman ability, and Mr. Kitahara, who has the Dojoji Bell ability.
Did you hear the Buddhist chants earlier? I asked their captain. Mr. Kitahara, who has the Dojoji Bell ability, is a layman in Buddhism and can't recite Buddhist scriptures at all. He can only rely on the power of external music.
Although the Sakura Country is not big, it has a population of nearly 100 million. It should be possible to select someone with profound Buddhist knowledge to better operate the Dojoji Bell.
Even if he doesn't know, he can master it through acquired learning."
Indeed, it should be said that the better the compatibility with the yokai, the greater the power that can be exerted. It must be said that Yamanaka Shuichi still makes some sense.
"Mr. Kitahara has no desire to learn Buddhist scriptures, and no one encourages him to learn. Most importantly, his aloof and arrogant personality is not suitable for practicing Buddhist scriptures.
By the way, what do you think of Miss Chiyoko, who has the Bone Woman ability?"
He's already calling her by her first name after just over ten minutes. In the Sakura Country, like in Japan in his previous life, ordinary people call others by their last name, and only close friends call each other by their first name.
"From her performance, she seems like a very gentle person. I don't know the specifics." He only met and observed her for more than ten minutes, and didn't even say a word. He's not Sherlock Holmes, so how can he see a person's character with just this?
"According to my observation, that's also the case. She's a very gentle girl. But what's interesting is that the Bone Woman yokai is a cruel incarnation in legends, and their personalities are relatively violent, killing people as easily as eating and drinking.
Her host is indeed such a gentle person, and in yokai form, she does have the violent appearance of the Bone Woman in legends, but the contrast between this violence and her usual gentleness is too great."
As soon as Yamanaka Shuichi said this, Jon realized it.
He had just found out that the Dojoji Bell is a yokai proficient in Buddhism and good at mental control, which doesn't match Mr. Kitahara's aloofness at all.
"Are you saying that the personalities of all the hosts are the opposite of the yokai in their bodies? Even deliberately made to be the opposite?"
"This is not a conclusion. After all, we have only seen two demi-humans, so this conclusion is still open to question. It's just a guess...
If we put everything together, I have made a relatively self-consistent guess: yokai may affect people's personalities. If the personalities are exactly the same, they may be swallowed by the power of the yokai in their bodies.
The power of the yokai may be integrated into the human body in the form of a living body. Demi-humans may become real yokai, which may be the reason why those teammates fear and are wary of them.
Demi-humanization must have flaws, so that even the squad leader of this team is not a demi-human. As a captain, he must be an experienced backbone, but they are not qualified or able to become demi-humans, so there must be a problem."
