Chapter 262: Hanging On The Cross

Chapter 262: Hanging On The Cross

Shinji started the countdown:

"5——"

"4——"

"3——"

"2——"

"1——"

"I, I choose, I choose the second one."

It's better to cling to life than to die.

In the final second, Hideo Hayama finally made the choice Shinji desired.

No, he couldn't make any other choice. Everything was under Shinji's control.

Shinji had spent so much time acting as the God of Death, making deals, not just for fun, but to create the most suitable environment and fully utilize the power of suggestive magecraft.

Suggestive magecraft, in the conventional sense, is a required course for every competent magus. The purpose of learning this magecraft is to clean up or prevent any potential exposure when mysteries are witnessed by ordinary people.

For example, if Shinji conjured a fireball and was seen by a passerby, he would use suggestive magecraft to suggest to the person that they didn't see anything. Another example is when Shinji carried the "Moon Spirit Marrow" through security checks, he would suggest to the inspector that "everything is normal."

All magi follow a fundamental premise: magecraft derives from mystery, and the fewer people who know about it, the stronger its power. Conversely, the more people who know, the weaker it becomes. It's easy to imagine that the effectiveness of suggestive magecraft, as a form of popular magecraft, is naturally limited. It's only when suggestive magecraft is still considered magic that it can make someone your slave.

In modern times, any magus can resist suggestive magecraft. Even for ordinary people without any magic resistance, the content of the suggestion needs to be simple to ensure the effectiveness and duration of suggestive magecraft.

"No, I dare not."

"Just 'dare not'?" Shinji intensified the power of suggestion.

"No, no, I never thought of it," Hideo Hayama immediately corrected himself.

"Hehe, lying to a shinigami, it seems like I need to punish you a bit," Shinji said, lifting Hideo Hayama's body with the long handle of his scythe and carrying him on his shoulder. He then opened the window of the room and flew out directly.

At that moment, all of Hideo Hayama's doubts vanished, leaving only fear and submission.

He shouted, "Lord Shinigami, please spare me this time. I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore."

"Shut up, if you say another word, I'll throw you down," Shinji casually shook his scythe, leaving Hideo Hayama speechless with fear.

"Don't worry, since I said I won't take your soul for now, I won't let you die. It's just a lesson for you," Shinji had planned this. It was the final scene of the script, which would make Hideo Hayama firmly believe in his words and also allow Kaori Tachibana to feel a sense of satisfaction.

The punishment was to hang him on a cross on the rooftop of the chapel at Reien Girls' Academy High School.

You like JK (high school girl) types, right? You like devout girls, don't you? Well, you can get close to them now!

Flying to the chapel, Shinji used the top of the cross to pierce through Hideo Hayama's nightgown, entering from the back of his neck and coming out, like a piece of dried meat hanging from a beam.

Originally, Shinji planned to prepare a rope and directly tie Hideo Hayama to the cross. But then he thought, isn't this the image of Jesus' crucifixion? Although as a magus, he didn't have much affection for the church, no matter what, the holy figure of Jesus was a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than the scumbag Hideo Hayama Therefore, Shinji ultimately abandoned that plan.

However, he did not expect that even without the image of Jesus' crucifixion, in the eyes of the people in the church, it was still an insult to the Lord. Just as Shinji was about to knock Hideo Hayama unconscious and leave, he felt a powerful aura.
