This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame-Chapter 577 - 364. Core Members Meeting (8000 Words Target Achieved)_2

After she directly tapped the heel of her high heels, a small groove could be seen inside which a silver USB was snugly hidden.

Of course, even though Shirasaki Chiyoda had confessed, Beichuan Si still did not let her go.

After her legs were smashed into a bloody mess and carelessly treated with some death qi, Beichuan Si continued the interrogation.

By now, Shirasaki Chiyoda could no longer maintain any semblance of calm; everything was pouring out like beans from a bamboo tube.

She knew thoroughly all matters including some members’ hiding locations, backup plans... these which were under her jurisdiction.

Afraid to keep any secrets, she feared more tortures from Beichuan Si.

From personnel changes to why she had decided to kill these teachers from the Church of Truth and Happiness... Beichuan Si knew all these things now.

The reason was that she had been strictly disciplined and beaten by her father as a child, making her obey the rules, and if she did not follow them, she would be beaten black and blue.

As an adult, Shirasaki Chiyoda pushed this style of conduct from her father to its limit, but at the same time, she deeply detested these rules and regulations, so whenever she saw some young people she liked, she would always invite them to her home and then torment them to death by various means.

She hated symmetry, hated balanced and excellent things.

Because in this world, it was the unfair things that truly possessed charm.

But now, all those thoughts had been driven out of her mind by Beichuan Si.

Shirasaki Chiyoda was obediently cowering, shrieking in fear and curling up in the corner even if Beichuan Si just glanced her way.

Watching Shirasaki Chiyoda like this, Beichuan Si was also thoughtfully stroking his chin.

He did not possess supernatural abilities to discern whether Shirasaki Chiyoda was lying or telling the truth; those were discerned not by him, but by Magong in the Shinra Bell, the Shenzhu Sisters.

As the Soul Suppressing Twins, they inherently had the ability to differentiate between goodwill and malice.

This ability allowed them to sense how much of the other party’s words were true and how much were false.

Although they could not deeply deduce what the other party was actually thinking, just knowing whether the talk was true or false was enough.

"Either way, everything still needs to be tried," Beichuan Si muttered to himself, continuing to look at Shirasaki Chiyoda.

To crush this woman with fear, making her lose all basic cognitive ability, that was Beichuan Si’s idea.

Now it seemed he truly had succeeded; Shirasaki Chiyoda had no intention of resisting at all.

No... No, that’s not right...

Shirasaki Chiyoda’s gaze was no longer just that of fear.

She seemed to have envisioned herself as the shadow of her childhood... the shadow of her father.

Punishment awaited any failure to meet standards.

This was a wound on Shirasaki Chiyoda’s heart that she could never erase.

Could her psychological shadow be used in some way here?

As for someone like her who had murdered more than a dozen people, he would absolutely show no trace of compassion.

Beichuan Si asked, "The meeting of the core members you mentioned just now, when is it likely to be convened again soon?"

According to Shirasaki Chiyoda, they held a meeting for core members periodically, and at those meetings, they also discussed the future development direction of the Church of Truth and Happiness... although most of it involved topics that couldn’t stand the light of day.

Since there was a meeting of core members, Beichuan Si saw no reason not to go there and wipe them all out in one strike.

Hearing Beichuan Si speak, Shirasaki Chiyoda’s complexion turned pale as she stammered while shrinking her body, "Next Monday... they should be continuing to discuss matters. Mainly explaining some issues about police surveillance... and the ’Fragrance of Happiness’..."

Fragrance of Happiness, that was the drug produced by the Church of Truth and Happiness.

The drink Beichuan Si had previously, the clear water he consumed, all of it was adulterated with these drugs.

These drugs caused severe neural paralysis, but at the same time also induced hallucinations and a sense of happiness and pleasure; under the strong effects of the drug, already a third of the common members had completely fallen and become believers of the Church of Truth and Happiness.

Seeing the once bloody and fanatical Lady Bai Mian turn into this compliant figure, if the other members knew, they would definitely not believe it.

"And the location?" Beichuan Si continued to ask.

"I don’t know.. the locations are all decided by the Sect Hierarch, and he tells us on the day," Shirasaki Chiyoda dared not make eye contact with Beichuan Si.

So it seemed...

The caution of the other party indeed made it difficult for the police to arrange manpower.

If that was the case... then Shirasaki Chiyoda could be of much use going forward.

Thinking this, a thread of chilling, flickering death force flashed in Beichuan Si’s hand.

This thread of death force, particularly conspicuous under the strong light, was also seen by Shirasaki Chiyoda.

Recalling her treatment just moments ago, she hurriedly covered her head, and a voice of extreme misery cried out, "No! I’ve told you everything already! Truly everything! Please! Please!"

Watching her react this way, Beichuan Si observed her impassively and retorted, "How did you treat others in the past? Didn’t they ever plead with you?"

Indeed.

Today’s retribution was completely self-inflicted by Shirasaki Chiyoda, stirring no sympathy from Beichuan Si.

The thread of death force forcefully entered Shirasaki Chiyoda’s body.

Shirasaki Chiyoda trembled all over, her mouth still involuntarily wailing in sorrow.

Without any mercy, Beichuan Si told her, "This thread of death force will lurk in your body. With just a slight tug, the organs inside your body will be corroded by the death force, beyond anyone’s help."

Having said that, Shirasaki Chiyoda understood Beichuan Si’s intentions.

Her body went limp, and she looked up blankly, "What... what should I do?"

"It’s simple."

Beichuan Si pulled her hair closer, his eyes dark and sinister easing slightly as he said suggestively, "I just need you to do me a favor on the day the core members meet."

Shirasaki Chiyoda looked up dazedly.

In a moment of blurry consciousness, she seemed to see her father from her childhood.

Shirasaki Chiyoda nodded vaguely.

"...Okay...I understand everything you’ve said...I’ll do as you say."

She had completely succumbed to an unknown whisper, her mind a mess, barely able to think by following his words.

Watching Shirasaki Chiyoda like this, Beichuan Si stood up.

He then turned to look at the tall cabinet behind him.

This room already had tendencies to form a vengeful spirit.

It was also because Shirasaki Chiyoda wore the spiritual tool, a stone ring, that she was able to mitigate some of the resentment here, delaying the formation of a vengeful spirit.

But if Shirasaki Chiyoda continued like this, it was possible that not just a vengeful spirit, but even a small spiritual realm might develop here.

Beichuan Si shook his head.

Lady Bai Mian’s identity was still useful to him.

To completely topple the Church of Truth and Happiness, he needed to utilize her network.

Though the list of core personnel provided by Shirasaki Chiyoda was very complete, just knowing this was not enough to capture them.

After all, there was the saying about a cunning rabbit having three burrows; others wouldn’t possibly reveal everything they were hiding to Shirasaki Chiyoda.

For this reason, he could only wait for two more days.

Coincidentally, using these two days of downtime, Beichuan Si could also connect with Gangye Yoshiko to explain and clarify some matters.

Beichuan Si clasped his hands together, then separated them again, and a flickering azure residing fire sparked between his palms.

He would erase all the resentment in this room.

Allowing the wandering souls still lingering in the room to find rest.

This too was something he ought to do.
