However, Takemikazuchi did not become a reality like Emperor Sutoku or Tamamo-no-Mae.
Although he is one of the ancient gods with a long history of worship, and is revered as a god of war and military, he does not seem to have received the favor of the crown.
Even without the gods, Kashima Yoshizo, with Kashima Shrine at its core, is an organization that highly values martial prowess. The current core of this organization is someone who even Zatoichi would have to admit defeat in swordsmanship.
A... woman, or rather, a young girl.
With swift and decisive action, they stormed into Kashima Shrine, suppressed a large number of evil spirits, and claimed to be the ones who would destroy the underworld.
"Does the lord have any new instructions?" Zatoichi asked.
Even he could not know the girl's name and could only refer to her as "Lord".
The man in the black suit cracked his neck and said, "The lord has no new instructions. He only wants everyone to hunt down crown owners as many as possible, and the crowns they obtain can be kept by themselves."
“Is that so…” Zatoichi nodded to indicate that he understood and fell into deep thought.
Kashima Yoshizo is an overly free organization. Although evil spirits from all over Japan often gather together, when it comes to actually taking action, they always disperse and scatter to different places.
The management method is also quite strange. Each evil spirit is accompanied by these guys in black suits. These men in black suits seem to feel no fatigue or pain. They are on standby 24 hours a day and will meticulously complete the evil spirit's tasks.
Even if there are casualties, they will be quickly replaced.
These people are both accomplices and surveillance agents, a fact that Zatoichi is well aware of.
It is said that every evil spirit that tried to leave Kashima Inzo eventually disappeared without a trace. Whether it was a successful exit or... remains to be seen.
Sometimes, Zatoichi feels like a worm trapped in a jar, constantly gnawing at the bait its master throws out, while simultaneously cultivating its own power and ferocity.
One day, he will be thrown into another jar to fight against those Gu worms that were also raised by their master, and fight until the very last moment.
"What about the other companions?" Zatoichi asked again. "How did they fare?"
The man in the black suit scrolled through his phone and quickly found information about his companions. He said, "There are fifteen swordsmen deployed this time, and the swords they wield are all the latest products with the inscriptions removed."
"Six people successfully slayed evil spirits or exorcised demons to consecrate swords, while nine failed."
"Of the nine losers, three have already committed suicide by breaking their own knives, and the punishments for the remaining six have been issued."
Upon hearing this, Zatoichi smiled with satisfaction.
This time, in order to infiltrate Tokyo, it was also for...
To test Kashima Yoshizo's combat abilities, they deployed these evil spirits who used swords as their means of attack.
This is a trial for martial artists, a test for them, and Zatoichi has clearly passed.
He turned his head to look at the silver safe next to him in the back seat, which contained the remains of the Dao Fan God.
The man in the black suit looked up at Zatoichi through the rearview mirror and continued, "Lord Zatoichi, you are, by all accounts, an important fighting force as the one who holds the crown. We should return to Kashima."
Zatoichi, leaning on his long sword, asked, "Is that so-called Bone Tengu the holder of the crown?"
“According to our intelligence, that’s not the case.” The man in the black suit shook his head.
“Then let’s go find him.” Zatoichi revealed a cruel smile: “My old sword is only good for cutting rocks, which is a bit of a waste. I’d like to try cutting some bones as well.”
The man in the black suit nodded and said, "Please allow me to consult with headquarters."
Zatoichi suddenly reached out and pressed his rough, weathered hand firmly on the shoulder of the man in the black suit. He slightly opened his eyes, the grayness in them swirling like a murky ball of paint.
"Don't worry, headquarters will agree, won't it?"
Despite being so obviously threatened, the man in the black suit remained calm and replied in a businesslike tone, "Please allow me to report to headquarters."
Upon hearing that it was a report rather than a request for instructions, Zatoichi slowly withdrew his hand.
Chapter 274 The Miserable Fake Kiryu Taking Tutoring
"Hey, how come you can't even do such a simple question?"
The fake Kiryu sat in the old textbook room, where an angry Ejima Iya pointed at his nose and yelled, "I'm really fed up! I've never seen such a difficult student to teach. How are you going to take the final exam for Kiryu like this?"
The fake Kiryu touched his nose and said with great shame, "I'm sorry... Ejima-sensei, I have amnesia after all."
Jiangdao Yizai snorted angrily: "Hmph, you've lost your memory? Oh right, I almost forgot about this if you hadn't mentioned it. You have amnesia, but how come you haven't forgotten how to speak?"
"You can speak, so why is your Japanese so bad!"
The fake Kiryu scratched his head, looking innocent and nervous, and said, "Perhaps it's because I used to be... a foreigner?"
Jiangdao Yizai's jaw clicked, as if he wanted to say something, but after his upper and lower teeth clashed for a long time, he still couldn't utter a word.
I'm speechless.
"Sigh..." He sighed deeply and waved his hand, "Never mind, you can study on your own first."
The school festival is over.
In the end, the fake Kiryu and the head of the school festival had a relatively pleasant time, but due to the commotion caused by this school festival, the name Kiryu Toudou became a legend in the school.
Rumors have already begun to circulate among ordinary students that "Kiryu Toudou can take on the entire biker gang single-handedly."
The fake Kiryu just smiled when he heard that, since he couldn't do it.
After laughing, he wanted to cry, because Kiryu Toudou was so realistic that he could actually do it.
After the school festival ended, the fake Kiryu began a life of skipping classes even though he was actually at school.
After all, even in the classroom, he made the students afraid to speak loudly, and the teachers would timidly lecture.
So he simply ran away. Since he already knew Ejima Iya, he might as well catch up on his studies in the old textbook room to prepare for the final exam.
It's just that... it's quite difficult for him to cope with the final exams after losing his memory.
Ejima Iya took out his phone, put on the plastic gloves that allowed him to control the phone, tapped the screen, and said, "There are still two weeks until the final exams. Even the simplest Japanese is so bad. There's really no other way but to find someone to take the exam for me."
He snapped his fingers.
Mitsuaki Kakuhachi and Kagami Kunisada, two students who once admired Ejima Iya, emerged from that withered white skeleton.
Since Dou Tang brought back the souls of the two students, the two souls, whose resentment had been purified, could only continue to exist by attaching themselves to Jiangdao Yizai's body. Even if they were awakened, they could not stray too far from Jiangdao Yizai.
Unless, there is a carrier.
After the two students woke up, they immediately rushed towards Ejima Iya with great joy. The two, who had become physical due to the infusion of resentment, tackled Ejima Iya to the ground.
"Hey, hey, what are you two doing? Get up, get up right now, there are outsiders here!" Jiangdao Yizai waved his hand hurriedly.
Upon seeing this, the fake Kiryu narrowed his eyes.
After realizing that Jing Shan Guozhen was actually a boy, and a cross-dresser at that, his expression became extremely strange.
She even moved back a little, wanting to get further away from Ejima Izai.
A skeletal evil spirit harbors two students inside its body... Not only does it have two women on its left and right, but one of them is a man?
Wow... this guy is really open-minded.
Seeing the fake Kiryu's gaze, Ejima Iya quickly raised his hand to explain, "It's not what you think!"
"Teacher... you really did lock us up for a long time." Mitsuaki Kakuhachi was still as proactive as ever, his eyes shining, as he pressed Ejima Iya firmly to the ground.
Although Kyoyama Kuniyoshi was introverted, he still reached out and pressed his hand on Ejima Iya's ribs. Even though his body was semi-transparent, the blush on his face could be clearly seen.
Two ghosts and
As a dramatic scene involving a skeleton was about to unfold, Fake Kiryu couldn't help but swallow hard, marveling at how real the evil spirits were, and at the same time, he pulled out his phone.
"Stop!" Ejima Izai bared his teeth and brandished his claws, the blue light in his eye sockets flickering like flames. He looked at the fake Kiryu and roared, "If you dare to record me, I'll hang you on the rooftop and expose you to the scorching sun for seven days and seven nights!"
The fake Kiryu cowardly put away his phone.
"Turn your head around! Plug your ears!" Ejima Izai pointed at him.
Fake Kiryu pouted and did as instructed.
After a while, Ejima Izai finally calmed down his two vengeful spirit students and said, "The final exams are in two days. I'm planning to have you two possess this guy's body and take the exams for him. What do you say?"
The fake Kiryu exclaimed in horror, "No way, taking an exam while possessed by a vengeful spirit is too much! I don't want to!"
Mitsuaki Akuta rubbed his chin: "If the bride is going to train, I'm confident."
Fake Kiryu raised his hand: "Um...the final exam won't test housework or cooking skills, right?"
Jingshan Guozhen nodded and said, "As for me, my studies are pretty good, so I should be able to handle it."
The fake Kiryu said weakly, "Even if you let another man possess you, it won't work... Can you please consider my feelings?"
Ejima Izai, who was pretending to be Kiryu, raised his middle finger: "Shut up, you idiot and illiterate."
The fake Kiryu huddled in the chair, his face full of sorrow.
Although one is no longer afraid of evil spirits, anyone would be resistant to being possessed by a vengeful spirit.
But he couldn't resist at all. Whether it was Ejima Iya or Kuroki Keisaki, their terrifying power had made the fake Kiryu realize the reality.
Go against them? Are you out of your mind?
After a brief discussion, Ejima Iya decided on a plan for Kyouyama Kuniyoshi to possess the body of a fake Kiryu to take the final exams.
Jingshan Guozhen possesses the body of a fake Kiryu to take Ren Doutang's final exam in Kiryu Doutang's place, completing the ultimate four-fold nesting doll.
After finalizing his exam plan, Jingshan Guozhen picked up his books and began to study. Although he was a good student, it had been twelve years since he last studied, and his knowledge was somewhat outdated. He had even changed his textbooks several times.
Meanwhile, Mitsuaki Akuhachi starts using the fake Kiryu's phone to go online. Even after her death, the former gyaru (a type of female celebrity) is still happy to pursue fashion.
"Wow... Tamamo-no-Mae has been resurrected? Is she that powerful?" She exclaimed from time to time.
Ejima Iya looked at the phone in her hand and clicked his tongue: "Kiryu-kun is really ruthless."
The phone is playing footage of the battle between Dou Tang and Tamamo-no-Mae. This video has already gone viral online and is very popular due to its simple and brutally realistic fighting.
The fake Kiryu peeked out, wanting to take a look, but was pushed back by Ejima Iya.
"Study hard. Do you think you don't need to study just because someone possesses you? After things are resolved here, how will you survive in society? You'll still have to study, won't you?"
"Who are you learning this for? For me? Or for yourself, you silly kid!"
Jiangdao Yizai reprimanded.
The fake Kiryu hesitated, then could only lower his head and continue his tutoring.
This skeleton really... really has that teacher scolding vibe.
Chapter 275 Ejima Izai's Transformation and Departure!
Just as the fake Kiryu was engrossed in his book, Ejima Iya suddenly raised his head.
He looked out the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the curtains and reaching into the distance.
“An evil spirit has come,” he whispered.
Upon hearing this, the fake Kiryu immediately raised his head and was surprised to find that Mitsuaki Kakuhachi and Kagami Kunisada were also looking into the distance.
Even as ordinary vengeful spirits, they sensed something was amiss.
Ejima Iya snapped his fingers, and Mitsuaki Akuta and Kagami Kunisada transformed into blue streams of light, entering his bones.
"Kid, find somewhere to hide. Leave this to me." Ejima Iya looked at the fake Kiryu.
The fake Kiryu was still a little confused and frowned as he looked at Ejima Iya, asking, "Ejima-sensei, what... what's going on?"
Jiangdao Yizai waved his hand and said, "Kid, don't ask so many questions. Quickly find a place to hide."
He straightened the school doctor's white coat, which was already turning yellow, with his skeletal fingers, the bones cracking as he said, "The teacher is going to save the world!"
After saying that, he rummaged through the cabinets in the old textbook room and actually found a... blue and white knight's leather suit.
It was the same outfit that Xueqing had worn in Puan City before.
"Hehehe, I've wanted to be a Kamen Rider for a long time..." Ejima Iya muttered to himself as he put on the suit.
The fake Kiryu watched in stunned silence.
When Ejima Izai finished putting on the suit, he suddenly felt weak all over. He looked down and sighed.
The skeleton in the skeletal suit was still too frail; it was obvious that there wasn't a living person underneath.
But this didn't stump Ejima Isamu. He quickly found a few old school uniforms in the cabinet and stuffed them into the leather case as padding.
Although you can still feel something odd about the folds when the limbs are bent, at least it's not so easy to spot the mistake.
"Hahaha... So cool." Ejima Iya took out his phone and looked at himself, quite pleased with himself.
Fake Kiryu then said, "Ejima-sensei, is something coming to attack us? And you... aren't you the Kamen Rider from Urayasu City from those rumors?"
"Could it be that you, teacher, are one of those..."
