Chapter 38: Corpse



The autumn wind was bleak. Takeuchi Shin, who was over 90 years old, tightened his large windbreaker and walked quickly towards Asada Town on the deserted mountain road.

The brim of his hat was pulled down low, covering his face which was sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny. Only the occasional shedding of flesh and blood could prove that this old man named Takeuchi Makoto did not seem to be a normal person.

There was a rapid breathing sound from under the wide windbreaker, and only a voice as thin as a mosquito came from under the windbreaker: "Hurry up, hurry back to Asada Town!"

His real name is not Takeuchi Makoto, his real name should be Tsuchimikado Motonosuke, he is the legitimate descendant of Tsuchimikado!

More than 20 years ago, when he was 70 years old, he accidentally obtained a treasure that was said to have been passed down from an ancient country across the sea.

Originally, he did not take this thing too seriously and just regarded it as a collectible work of art. However, he did not expect that this treasure could actually prolong his life!

He faked his death in the Tsuchimikado family, fled to Asada Town with the treasure, and killed Takeuchi Makoto, who was about his age at the Asada Shrine in Asada Town. He used the power of the black jade pendant to disguise himself, and from then on he appeared in public as Takeuchi Makoto.

Everything seems so perfect, but longevity comes at a price.

He needed living things to keep him healthy, especially humans, which was why he hid his identity in the unknown village of Asada Town and created the fictitious God Asada.

Of course, he didn't understand the power of incense. He just wanted to use the name of faith to bully people in Asada Town and have the power of life and death.

Last month, because of something quite significant that happened to the Tsuchimikado family, many treasures passed down from the Tsuchimikado family were lost. Takeuchi Makoto was very excited and planned to go and collect two of them to strengthen his own strength.

Because the black jade pendant did not store enough Yin energy at that time, and Takeuchi Makoto was confident in his own strength, he did not carry the black jade pendant with him, but went alone to fight for the treasure.

After working for a month, Takeuchi Makoto only got a rib sword, which was said to be the sword that Abe Haruaki used to wear.

Takeuchi Shinko didn't know whether this knife had any special abilities, so he planned to go back and study it carefully with the help of the black jade pendant.

The rotting flesh on his face gradually fell onto the dirt road. Under the brim of his hat, the bones of his face were occasionally exposed, but Takeuchi Makoto didn't care at all. He just walked silently towards the direction of Asada Town.

Even if the arm is broken, it doesn't matter. As long as it is nourished by the black jade pendant, it will be restored to its original state in a few months, and the flesh and blood will grow again. It doesn't matter if it falls off now.

Takeuchi Makoto is now approaching Asada Town. Looking at Asada Town that has gradually appeared in his sight, Takeuchi Makoto can't help but smile.

However, his smile soon came to an abrupt end as he realized something was not right.

When he left, he specifically instructed his disciples that at all times, there must be someone guarding the Asada-cho intersection to better 'trap' passers-by, but now there is no one.

He had accumulated prestige in Asada Town over the past twenty years, and no one dared to disobey him, so it was impossible for anyone to be lazy.

Since there is no one left, it can only mean one thing.

Something happened in Asada Town!

"Have the Metropolitan Police Department's useless people changed their leadership and decided to eradicate Asada Town?"

Takeuchi Makoto didn't know what was going on. His heart sank and he could only think of the worst.

But before he could think of anything more outrageous, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart. Takeuchi Shin felt vaguely that something that could threaten him seemed to be aimed at him!

This feeling was like a rabbit running on the grassland being stared at by a falcon. Takeuchi Makoto only felt his scalp tingling and a chill.

The subconscious reaction made Takeuchi Makoto roll to the side. At the same time, a loud noise that resounded through the sky sounded from a hill not far away. A bullet escaped from the barrel of the gun and hit the place where Takeuchi Makoto had just stood!

“Bang!”

The sound was so shocking that a hole was created on the already unstable dirt road.

After the attack failed, the sound of propellers suddenly began to flash in the sky, and many armed soldiers with guns appeared in the grass in the mountains, firing at Takeuchi Shin!

"Baka!"

After Takeuchi Makoto cursed in a low voice, he knew it was impossible for him to use his body to withstand the bullets of hundreds of people.

In an instant, Takeuchi Makoto seemed to have transformed into a gust of cold wind, rushing madly in one direction.

Although he was galloping, his speed was not very fast. Seeing this, Lin Qianyilang, who was observing the situation from behind, suddenly shrank his pupils and shouted immediately: "Chase him, don't let him get away!"

This was the weakest person with extraordinary powers he had ever seen. If he could be captured alive, he would definitely get a lot of information!

Following Hayashi Kenichiro's call for pursuit, sirens rang out, and several police cars came out from the hidden mountains and chased in the direction of Takeuchi Makoto, as if they were determined to catch up with Takeuchi Makoto.

And Takeuchi Makoto, who was running away, was not feeling well either.

He was not in a very good condition to begin with, and now that he had used some magic, it became even more unbearable.

Originally, it was only the flesh on his face that was falling off, but now Takeuchi could feel that the flesh on his torso and limbs was also rapidly falling off. If this continued for a long time, he would become nothing more than a skeleton!

"This place has been discovered by the Metropolitan Police Department. We can't stay here any longer!"

Takeuchi Shin thought to himself: "After going around the mountains and getting rid of those policemen, I will return to Asada Town, take the treasure away, and run away to a remote place in Hokkaido to start over!"
