21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 490 - 486: Hunting (Please Subscribe, Request for Monthly Tickets)

In Japan, a variety of beliefs and churches can be said to thrive immensely, even to the point where there have been news stories of famous actresses joining religious groups to become nuns.

After all, Japan is very lenient in this respect; just establish a religious group, preach some seemingly plausible theories, and you can accept donations from those bewildered followers. This can be much more lucrative than starting a legitimate company.

Lying there and watching the money come in, wouldn't that be delightful?

However, most religious groups merely operate on this level, swindling perhaps a small retirement fund from old men and women in the countryside at best. Those that do somewhat better might have more followers, receive more donations, and perhaps even 'bless' female followers.

Even the most successful religious groups only reach the level where their female followers are celebrities; there's nothing beyond that.

But when it comes to Orm ZLJ, they are not like those ordinary groups only after blessing female followers and scamming donations. They are the organization that single-handedly changed Japan's counter-terrorism policies.

On March 20, 1995, at 7:50 AM, Orm ZLJ members launched a poisonous gas attack on five subway trains on three Tokyo subway lines, resulting in 13 deaths, about 5500 people poisoned, and 1036 admitted for treatment. On the day of the incident, several main subway lines around the Japanese government and the National Diet were forced to shut down due to the attack, affecting 26 subway stations and plunging Tokyo traffic into chaos.

Following the Tokyo subway gas attack, the Japanese police immediately sealed off the Orm ZLJ headquarters at the foot of Mount Fuji and took action against Orm ZLJ.

On March 22nd, 2500 police officers and the Self-Defense Forces' chemical protection units surrounded the Orm ZLJ facilities in Kami-kuissiki village, forced open three large warehouses with oxy-acetylene torches, and discovered various chemicals and instruments, essentially uncovering a chemical plant.

The Japanese Metropolitan Police Department arrested Orm ZLJ's leader Shoko Asahara for murder and attempted murder, while also raiding over 130 of the cult's locations nationwide, capturing more than 40 leaders and JT members.

The Japanese police continued to pursue Orm ZLJ members until 2012, with the capture of follower Katsuya Takahashi, who had been on the run for seventeen years, marking the end of the chase. Cult leader Shoko Asahara himself was executed in 2018.

That such an organization, which should have been eradicated, still had branches remaining, and now one of those branches was planning to cause trouble? This inevitably caused both Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi to feel a tremendous shock.

Logically, Orm ZLJ's members should have been like rats scurrying across the street, eager to hide; why would they take the initiative to cause trouble?

Moreover, judging from what the attacker revealed, the Supreme Truth Society, as a branch of Orm ZLJ, seemed to have existed for quite a while, remaining silent all these years. Why suddenly emerge and cause trouble now? What exactly is their purpose?

"Mr. Chen Yu, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" After listening to Chen Yu's inquiry of the attacker, Hiromi Jounouchi looked at him with concern, wanting to know how he planned to handle the situation.

"Cults... what a troublesome issue!" Chen Yu couldn't help but lament. It wasn't that he couldn't handle a cult, but dealing with such matters was quite bothersome.

After all, many people were bewitched into believing all these muddled beliefs, but once they had embraced these confusions, they could no longer be considered innocent. Some even committed crimes, breaking the law in various ways; that's not something that could simply be erased by saying they were deluded.

So, exactly how to deal with these cult followers became a complicated matter. After all, Chen Yu was not a man of indiscriminate killing; if they were merely misled, they certainly didn't deserve to die.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu suddenly had an idea and said to Hiromi Jounouchi, "Hiromi, lend me the Soul Prison Blood Hunter for a bit."

Even though Chen Yu had helped in its creation, the control of the Soul Prison Blood Hunter was in Hiromi Jounouchi's hands, which was why he used the word "lend".

"Lend the Soul Prison Blood Hunter? You're free to use it, Mr. Chen Yu!" Hiromi Jounouchi said indifferently. While the Soul Prison Blood Hunter was registered in her name, after all, these were gifts from Chen Yu, so she saw no issue with him using it.

"Find out all the people associated with the Supreme Truth Society in this soul memory, arrange their crimes for me. If there are any who have killed or indirectly caused someone's death, they can become your prey," Chen Yu ordered the Soul Prison Blood Hunter. Although it had no soul or self-consciousness, once a command was given by the Necromancer holding control, the Soul Prison Blood Hunter had a 100% capability to execute the orders.

However, after saying that, Chen Yu added, "Also, investigate clearly why the Supreme Truth Society wanted to orchestrate this attack, and whether they're planning any other attacks aside from this one."

Seeing that Chen Yu had finished speaking, the Soul Prison Blood Hunter bowed slightly and then vanished in the flash of a dark red light.

"Mr. Chen Yu, aren't you going to tell the police about this?" Hiromi Jounouchi asked, regarding Chen Yu's request for the Soul Prison Blood Hunter to hunt those cult followers who had committed crimes. She felt they deserved it, since in Japan, even for a murderer, getting a death sentence is quite difficult, otherwise Shoko Asahara wouldn't have taken more than twenty years to be executed.

"For those whose crimes aren't punishable by death, they can be handed over to the police for judgment, but I don't think imprisonment is a form of punishment for those who have stained their hands with the blood of the innocent," Chen Yu said to Hiromi Jounouchi with some dissatisfaction. "As for those who have committed murder, Japanese law is far too lenient on them. What of sitting in prison for decades? They are still alive, whereas those who died will never come back to life."

"This sort of thing... sigh!" Faced with such matters, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't help but sigh.

"You don't need to worry about the Supreme Truth Society, Hiromi, I'll handle it," said Chen Yu, his heart aching for his girlfriend when he saw her sigh, comforting her before adding, "But about the lab, with this incident, your pressure has increased even more!"

"Didn't I anticipate all this when I decided to make the experiment public?" Hiromi Jounouchi said, smiling in response to Chen Yu's concern.

"Even so, I still need to speak to Director Shimura later, to ask her to beef up the hospital's security measures. We can't have another incident where someone brings dangerous blades into the hospital," Chen Yu said, taking these issues very seriously, having experienced medical disputes and incidents of harm or even murder of medical staff.
