Hell Yama King:...
"I am the master of Avici Hell..." Hell Yama King began to ramble again after listening to Akaseki's description.
"Stop talking, let's talk about it quickly! Is there any strange smell?" Akaseki interrupted.
"I am the master of Avici Hell... not Cursed Demon God." Hell Yama King didn't get angry at all - what kind of aura? Even if it does exist, it is impossible to feel the aura of Cursed Demon God believers from daily necessities.
"Then... if Cursed Demon God's believer is in front of you, you can always tell it, right?" Akaseki asked helplessly - indeed, Old Wang was not seen with this ability in Land of Hot Water before.
"Since Ritual Envoy and above, I have a supernatural body, and I can see it." Hell Yama King nodded this time.
In the final analysis, you have to see people to confirm it, and you can't feel the "evil spirit".
As for Ritual Envoy and so on, Akaseki only came to mind after recalling it...
The lowest level believer of Jashin Cult is "Sin Slave". You must repent every day for at least eight hours a day for one year to become "Sin Slave".
Ninety-nine "Sin Slave", after one year, through a specific ceremony, one "Defiler" can be born...
"Defiler" must mutilate himself in a special way. For every ninety-nine "Defiler", one "Ritual Envoy" can be born.
What Akaseki saw at Yugakure was "Ritual Envoy", which could be "cursed to kill", but Lanyu Clan Elder just capsized in the gutter.
As for Ritual Envoy, there is "Holy Disciple", and nine "Ritual Envoy" need to be sacrificed to be born!
"Sin Slave" to "Defiler" will also greatly delay productivity. After all, the most basic believers will spend most of their energy on prayer and confession every day. Once Jashin Cult starts to spread, it will immediately become lifeless.
However, although the possibility of world-weary suicide has greatly increased, it is still not too dangerous, just "depressed".
From "Defiler" to "Ritual Envoy", it is already very dangerous because of self-harm. Usually the appearance of one "Ritual Envoy" means that at least dozens of "Defiler" have died...
From "Ritual Envoy" to "Holy Disciple", they must "sacrifice", that is, they must actually kill nine "Ritual Envoy" to succeed.
Correspondingly, it is said that "Holy Disciple"'s curse-killing ability is terrifying, and its body is almost immortal...
After Akaseki also heard Hell Yama King talking about "Ritual Envoy", he suddenly remembered the internal promotion channel of Jashin Cult, and immediately felt a chill down his spine!
"Ritual Envoy... Could it be..." Akaseki's face changed.
"What's wrong?" Ranwu's expression changed drastically after seeing Akaseki "talking to himself", and he couldn't help but ask.
"Before, I destroyed an organization called Jashin Cult in Yugakure..." Akaseki said, telling what happened at that time.
I heard that Lanyu Clan Elder of the Uchiha Clan was killed by Jashin Cult. Even Dan Katō almost died in the hands of Jashin. Ranwu was also shocked.
"You suspect that the current matter is related to Jashin Cult? But..." Ranwu obviously feels that there is no correlation yet.
That's just...
These fake Merchant seem to be just avoiding Land of Hot Water.
Just based on this, we can't judge the strange thing that happened to Land of Hot Water as the cause of this disappearance, right?
"There is indeed no evidence, but if they are believers of Jashin Cult, then what is happening now can be completely explained." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
Seeing that Ranwu still didn't understand, Akaseki further explained, "In order for Jashin Cult's followers to be promoted, they need to gather a large number of people... If those people are Jashin Cult's Defiler, or even Ritual Envoy, there is every reason to gather them inexplicably."
Hearing this, Ranwu showed a look of surprise, and at the same time, he followed Akaseki's train of thought and said, "It can't be Sin Slave?"
Akaseki heard this and shook his head and said, "They should not be the lowest-level believers, otherwise it would be meaningless, but it would be different if they were all "Defiler"... Since they come from all over the world, the concealment effect will be very good!"
"Hidden? You mean..." Ranwu also thought of something.
"Yes, this also means that behind every missing person, there are at least hundreds of Sin Slave!" Akaseki said confidently.
Jashin Cult is easy to spot.
After all, in addition to the source of power directly given by Jashin, tens of thousands of basic believers are needed to create a new Ritual Envoy...
If it spreads to tens of thousands of people, it is basically impossible not to detect the clues!
After all, there are eight hours a day...
With so many people doing nothing and acting world-weary all day long, something is wrong with the whole area.
And to give birth to "Holy Disciple", more than 100,000 people are needed.
At this scale, it is even more impossible to be secretive, and the surrounding people must be panicking...
Even in a vast and sparsely populated mountain like Land of Hot Water, that Gou Zang developed for a long time, but it did not cultivate a second "Ritual Envoy". On the contrary, after Yugakure was established, it immediately knew that it could not hide, so it could only make a desperate move, hoping to force Yugakure to move.
Because he also knew that with so many believers in the mountains, it was impossible for Yugakure to be undiscovered once it was established, so he had no choice but to give it a try.
But if these "Defiler" are scattered around the world, the situation will be very different.
With a hundred or so believers, a "Defiler" can be born, and these believers are usually just world-weary and make people feel depressed. If they deliberately keep it secret, they will probably not be discovered.
And these "Defiler" come together from all over the world and become "Ritual Envoy". As long as they are properly arranged and the location and timing are chosen, they will not be discovered - some "outsiders" are just missing...
It is equivalent to placing a huge quantity base all over the world, so naturally it becomes inconspicuous.
Although there is no evidence for Akaseki, it is true that the missing persons Tanzaku Town are in line with this situation-all of them disappeared after leaving voluntarily, and it is very likely that they are not Merchant at all.
"If that's the case, besides those hotels that didn't report the crime, there are actually some suspicious people, right?" Ranwu also understood.
"That's right..." Akaseki nodded.
"Who?" Miroku stood aside, a little unhappy.
"Why don't you think about it the other way around!" Ranwu said arrogantly.
Miroku:...
"If the missing person is Defiler, they left to harm themselves. If they didn't come back, they died accidentally. But not every self-harm will lead to death... In other words, there are still a huge number of Defiler hidden in Tanzaku Town!
"As I said before, there must be missing persons in those hotels that did not report the crime. At the same time, the Defiler who are still alive will also choose these hotels that do not report the crime. In other words... During this period, Merchant who left the hotel where the crime was reported and went to the hotel that did not report the crime may be Defiler of Jashin Cult." Ranwu said.
Akaseki also nodded and said, "This can also explain why the reported hotel has such a huge loss in guest flow..."
It is not just ordinary guests who are worried, but more importantly... other Jashin Cult guests, after finding out that they reported the crime, will leave directly to other hotels to avoid trouble!
It's not that I'm afraid of what will happen after I disappear, but that I'm afraid that if ninjas come to investigate often, I'll be exposed.
This intuitive performance also makes more hotels not want to report missing persons...
Nothing will happen if you disappear anyway!
"Then let's go to the hotel where the crime was reported last time and see how many people checked out after that?" Ranwu asked.
"This doesn't need to be so troublesome." Miroku interrupted.
"Huh?" Ranwu looked over in confusion.
At this moment, Miroku's eyes were emitting even more pale golden light...
"I found it... I'll look at their account books... here... two days ago, two days ago... this page..." Miroku said to himself with his eyes empty.
Ranwu:???
"Can you go directly to see their account books?" Ranwu was also shocked.
"Of course, the hotel is seven miles away, and you don't know how far I can see." Miroku said matter-of-factly.
"I know, I know, but..." In Ranwu's impression, Byakugan's perspective is also directional. You can't see through whatever you want. It's too outrageous to see through a certain account book, right?
If nothing else, how did you adjust the perspective to look from top to bottom?
"Isn't Byakugan also full-view?" Miroku asked in return.
"No, no, no, that's not what full view means..." Ranwu's mouth trembled.
Now it seems that the ordinary Byakugan is a "telescope + perspective", while the Miroku is a true full-view observation, not just a 360-degree viewing angle centered on itself, but can be changed to any angle within the sight range, anywhere!
"Speaking of the Hyuga Clan's Branch Family, it seems that Byakugan will further weaken the viewing angle... But even Main Family is completely incomparable to your pupil technique." Ranwu sighed.
Akaseki said on the side, "It's not surprising. After a thousand years, how many people are there in the Hyuga Clan Main Family? The other Branch Familys are themselves restricted by Caged Bird, and even normal Byakugan cannot function. It is normal for generations to degenerate."
After Akaseki finished speaking, the chakra on Miroku fluctuated abnormally... Seeing this, Akaseki no longer stimulated Mahashri.
"The registered name has been found, and then I will go to other hotels where the crime was reported to look for the account books." Miroku said.
Thanks to Tanzaku Town's management system, at least these people can't just register with fake names, but have tax certificates issued when they enter, otherwise Miroku won't be able to find it.
Miroku was slowly investigating without leaving home, while Ranwu was silent, with a look of confusion gradually showing on his face.
"But... In this case, I still can't explain why they came to Tanzaku Town? If they are so afraid of being discovered, why would they run next to us Konoha?" Ranwu asked doubtfully - isn't this looking for excitement?
If we move to another place, we might not be discovered!
Akaseki heard this and said nothing with a straight face, not knowing what he was thinking...
After a while, Miroku's expression changed and he said, "Firewood Inn, there are people who have checked out of this house, and... the three children happen to be here now!"
