Chapter 102 - Atonement

Kimura Kazuki went to the living room first and sucked the reiki made by the old man into his body. Then, he went out and came to the corner to pick up the Sun and Moon Sword before absorbing the reiki thoroughly.

Although Sunny Yamamoto was curious why the Sun and Moon sword was in the hands of Kimura Kazuki, he did not question him, as his mind was now all on... Nishiyama Chiyoko.

Sunny Yamamoto felt calmer now that there was a video recording. He knew that he would be interrogated by the police, but he would not be in any trouble. However, his resentment for Nishiyama Chiyoko did not go away. The woman deliberately infected others with the virus. He had read rumors about such things on the Internet before, but he never took them seriously, and it never crossed his mind that he would actually come across one. 

Soon, the two came downstairs.

From afar, Kimura Kazuki could see Nishiyama Chiyoko's body. And… next to it was a transparent apparition. Kimura Kazuki smiled when he saw this. 

It was ironic that Nishiyama Chiyoko was still a specter. Kimura Kazuki knew that Nishiyama Chiyoko did not die with a grudge, so she did not turn into a demon. This was why he had said that spirits were not necessarily kind.

He stepped forward and saw that Nishiyama Chiyoko seemed to be very excited about becoming a spirit. He sneered silently and directly sucked Nishiyama Chiyoko's apparition into the Sun and Moon Sword.

As for completing the other person's obsession? He was not in the mood.

The Consciousness Comforting Method was mild, but it was also an improvement made by ancient monks. It was extremely painful for the apparition to perform this method; it was a fate worse than death. Kimura Kazuki will make Nishiyama Chiyoko pay her price.

"Call the police." As he glanced at the corpse, he realized that it had been changed beyond recognition. Kimura Kazuki calmly explained that the reason he came down was to see if Nishiyama Chiyoko would become a specter.

Sunny Yamamoto glimpsed at it and then covered his mouth, not daring to take another look as the smell of blood made him nauseous. After hearing what Kimura Kazuki said, he nodded his head and ran aside to pick up his mobile phone to call the police.

Soon, the police came to the Suiryu Duplex Apartment, and surprisingly, they were led by Rei Takamori.

When Rei Takamori saw Kimura Kazuki, he was puzzled, "It's you."

Kimura Kazuki felt puzzled as well. As if he could see his doubts, Rei Takamori smiled and explained, "I am the Deputy Chief Inspector of Jinwen District, I went to Akihabara this afternoon to deal with an urgent matter. I happened to meet Ms.Yuriko, so I went to have a look."

Hearing these words, Kimura Kazuki nodded. Japan's Deputy Chief Inspector was equivalent to the Director of Huaxia.

Takamori gave an explanation, was also because of his curiosity toward Kimura Kazuki, not to mention that Kimura Kazuki was very famous in Jinwen District, more specifically, during his high school days. He was a police officer, and he's dealt with many delinquents in many schools. Kimura Kazuki had not done anything out of the law, if he did... those incidents were never reported to the police, there was no evidence.

It did not occur to him that he had seen this man at that very afternoon in Akihabara, and here they were again, but this time, it was a matter of a corpse.

Other police officers dispersed the crowd who stood by to watch, and soon, Rei Takamori learned of the situation.

Sunny Yamamoto passed the video over to the police… After watching it, the police officers were furious. Any person would be angered by Nishiyama Chiyoko's words.

Rei Takamori's forehead was throbbing, but he thanked Sunny Yamamoto and Kimura Kazuki all the same.

What Nishiyama Chiyoko did was a crime.

After showing his appreciation, Rei Takamori ordered the other police officers to arrest Sunny Yamamoto. According to what Nishiyama Chiyoko said in the video, she came to work under Sunny Yamamoto.

Sunny Yamamoto was very helpless, but he had already prepared himself for this. Anyway, he would be released after he paid bail.

As for Kimura Kazuki, he was not in any trouble. According to the video, the only reason she came was to know about the fire at Akichi High School.

It was natural for humans to be curious. However, Rei Takamori could control his well. He only asked Kimura Kazuki a few questions, then he let him off.

Before leaving, Rei Takamori asked Kimura Kazuki not to tell anyone about the matter regarding Akichi High School. 

Back then, Akichi High School's profile was simple. However, since the several cases of school bullying, countless abuses hurled at Takashima Izumi, the school's image was tarnished. It was Ito Shunji who exposed the news regarding the fire, but Nishiyama Chiyoko was the one behind the cause of the fire.

So Rei Takamori reported this matter to the police department and left it to them to determine the nature of the crime. If this matter were exposed in advance, it would be a catch for the media. This would lead to social unrest, it would be a massive headache for Tokyo's headquarters.

Kimura Kazuki would, of course, promise him. He initially thought that he would be questioned about his reasons to investigate the case of Akichi High School… but he never expected that the police would let him off so quickly. Nevertheless, this favored him anyway.

On the way home, he gave Nakagawa Aokiji and Chiba Shiori a phone call and told them about the matter. After all, these two had been through thick and thin with him in Akichi High School, especially Chiba Shiori. Now she was still helping him in completing Yuriko Kawachi's issue with obsessiveness.

When they heard what happened, both were shocked. They never expected the truth behind the case at Akichi High School to be as such, especially Nakagawa Aokiji. He sighed, "Sometimes, the evil of man is really scarier than the spirit of grievance."

Chiba Shiori was silent for a moment, then she spoke up, "When you have finished doing a thorough investigation, will you make a trip back to Akichi High School again?"

"Well, I am going to visit Akichi High School very soon, as to deal with that demon once and for all," Kimura Kazuki nodded. Since he has thoroughly understood the whole story of the incident, he could probably pin out the weakness of the demons.

"Then... you be careful." Chiba Shiori did not know what else to say, she thought of telling him that she wanted to go with, but this would only add more burden to his shoulders. However, as an ordinary person, she did not have many combat skills, so the only thing she could do was to pray for his safety.

"I will."

"I will complete the synopsis of the novel as soon as possible, Kawachi and I have already discussed on what to write, and will show it to you later on."

"Alright."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up. 

Soon, Kimura Kazuki was home. As he stepped foot into the house, he released the soul of Nishiyama Chiyoko.

"You..." As soon as she came out, Nishiyama Chiyoko found herself in a cramped room, when she focused her gaze, she was shocked to see Kimura Kazuki standing in front of her.

However, Kimura Kazuki did not have the patience to talk nonsense with her, so he reached out one hand and stuck it directly into Nishiyama Chiyoko's head.

The reiki in his hands overflowed as streams of reiki wrapped tightly around Nishiyama Chiyoko's consciousness.

The next moment, Nishiyama Chiyoko felt as if a sharp blade was slowly slicing her head… the intense pain made her yell out in agony.

Kimura Kazuki listened indifferently. He counted the days; in about two weeks, he could thoroughly refine the consciousness of Nishiyama Chiyoko. 

The two weeks of ongoing pain would be the atonement for what Nishiyama Chiyoko had done previously.
