Hidan's Solution

At this moment, Hidan had no idea that he had already been misunderstood by the great Jashin-sama. After finishing his hot bath, he crawled out of the blood pool.

"Ah, refreshing!"

He stretched his back vigorously, then looked at Simu and said in a very provocative tone, "Looks like you're still somewhat useful, you trash Simu."

Simu glanced at him, and a dark red blood shadow flashed by in an instant, cleanly and efficiently slicing Hidan's head off.

"Mmm~~"

Hidan let out a muffled groan.

For a moment, Simu actually didn't know if his decapitation technique was a punishment or a reward for this guy!

Damn these masochists.

Especially masochists who possess immortality!

Under the power of the Kagune, Hidan's head rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Unlike before, when his head would land and he could only rage helplessly, this time Hidan immediately ejected a large amount of spider silk from his neck, connecting his head back to his body, and then rapidly healed using the powerful vitality of his immortality.

Soon, there wasn't even a trace left!

"Hehehehehehe!"

A wild, arrogant grin instantly appeared on Hidan's face.

"Trash Simu, from now on I'm not afraid of you cutting my head off! Even if you hack me into eight pieces, I can restore myself!"

"Sooner or later, I will definitely kill you and sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!"

He drew the black spear in his hand and pointed it at Simu.

"No, I don't need to wait for later. Even now, I can already defeat you!"

With that, he prepared to swing his spear and charge at Simu.

Simu sighed, feeling a bit puzzled.

Could it be that the Kagune actually affects a person's brain?

No, Hidan didn't have a brain to begin with. Did the Kagune act as a brain after entering Hidan's body?

Facing Hidan's assault, Simu didn't even move. Two bright red limbs grew from his body, dancing in a dense, blood-colored storm with terrifying speed.

Hidan had only charged halfway before he was enveloped in the storm and hacked into eight pieces!

Hacked into eight pieces in the literal sense.

Head, two hands, two feet, and the torso cut into three parts—a total of eight pieces.

"Hmph, you bastard Simu, your attacks can't do anything to me anymore!"

Hidan was very confident. He channeled the power of the Kagune within his body, preparing to reconnect and restore himself.

But no matter how hard he tried, the Parasitic Spider on his body didn't react at all.

"Don't waste your energy."

Simu squatted down in front of Hidan and said condescendingly, "These Kagune were all created by my own hands. As long as I want to, I can control their movements at any time."

Hearing this, Hidan's face instantly collapsed, and he roared with dissatisfaction, "I knew it! You definitely didn't have good intentions!"

Simu shrugged and said casually, "Regardless, you can't beat me anyway. Having an extra Kagune will at least give you an extra trump card when you're dealing with others."

Although that was the logic, our esteemed Lord Hidan was not a man of such low ambition. He immediately declared, "You bastard Simu, you'd better pull your stinking thing out! Let me tell you! Even if I, Hidan, am beaten to death here today, I will never use your Kagune for even a single second!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure."

Simu didn't argue. Once Hidan was truly hacked into eight pieces by someone else, he would know what "true fragrance" meant.

Having unlocked Hidan's ability, Simu slowly took out a box.

Countless [Kakuhou] emerged from the blood pool, and Simu collected them into the box one by one.

Since he had finally managed to leave the headquarters to carry out a mission, Simu would absolutely not give up this opportunity to promote Jashin-sama.

After all, he had been in this world for three months, and the Jashin-sama's Raising Mini-game hadn't leveled up yet!

How could he not take the opportunity during the mission to farm some reputation points for the Jashin Cult?

"You bastard Simu, just you wait! I will definitely get my revenge!"

Beside him, Hidan rubbed his neck. Although he had an immortal body, having his head cut off so many times still inevitably caused some strange sensations.

"Since you're packed, let's go."

Simu picked up the box and walked out of the temple.

Hidan followed closely behind, muttering to himself.

Neither of them had much to pack. Simu still needed to prepare a change of clothes, but Hidan didn't need to bring anything at all.

For him, the mission location was only a day's journey away. Two days for the round trip, plus two or three days to execute the mission.

It would be less than a week in total, so why change clothes? If worse came to worst, he could just wear them inside out.

"You two are quite fast."

Kikuchi Miura was quite satisfied with this aspect of the two.

Standing beside him were two other members of the Jashin Cult; they were Kikuchi Miura's assistants and also the executors of this mission.

It would be more accurate to say that Kikuchi Miura and his group were supervisors rather than mission executors.

The Cult Leader was well aware of the strength of Hidan and Simu, so completing such a mission should not be a problem. The key was how they would complete it and whether they would cause any unnecessary trouble.

Especially Hidan; if there was no one to supervise and restrain him, and they were left to their own devices, the Jashin Cult might find itself under siege by the Five Great Nations by tomorrow!

"Alright, stop nagging and let's get moving," Hidan said impatiently.

Kikuchi Miura took a deep look at Hidan but said nothing, heading straight into the forest.

As for the other two cultists, they dared not say a word.

Who in the Jashin Cult headquarters didn't know about the tyranny of the two God Children, Hidan and Simu? Offending them was no different from committing suicide.

Especially Hidan; this guy would truly kill you just because he didn't like the look of you!

The Jashin Cult headquarters was built deep in the mountains, surrounded by lush forests with very little wildlife.

Anything even remotely large—let alone tigers or black bears—even the rabbits had been caught by the Jashin Cult members to be sacrificed to Lord Jashin.

At this moment, Simu and Hidan could only see some tiny black beetles in the forest, or the occasional crow flying overhead.

As they walked, Kikuchi Miura began to explain the mission.

"Our mission is to reach Shuiyu Village by tomorrow night, use our Jashin Cult necklaces to contact Mr. Sakamoto, obtain information about Gato from him, and then head to the headquarters of Gato Shipping Company to finish Gato off."

Hearing Kikuchi Miura's long-winded speech, Hidan yawned out of boredom.

"What information, what Sakamoto? If we want to kill that guy Gato, why don't we just go find him and kill him?"

Hidan glanced at Kikuchi Miura with disdain, seemingly mocking his intelligence.

Kikuchi Miura's face darkened: "Before a battle, one must first gather intelligence on the enemy!"

Hidan cast a contemptuous look at him and said nonchalantly: "Gathering intelligence is something only the weak need to do. The strong just go over, kill the enemy, and sacrifice them to Lord Jashin."
