Chapter 154: Should good people be pointed at with guns?
Death is a thousand times simpler than living.
There are simply too many actions in this world that can lead to death.
Being able to choose how to die may be the last bit of freedom left for humans.
And now, Inoue Yuo clearly feels that his own touch of freedom has been taken away from him.
He couldn't die even if he wanted to at this moment.
This is undoubtedly a terrible thing.
He did not want to betray his beliefs, but he also knew that with his own character, he would never be able to withstand the enemy's coercion and temptation.
After repeated attempts, he would eventually choose to compromise and surrender.
That is why he chose death as a way to express his devout faith in the Virgin Mary.
Having attempted suicide once, it would be difficult for him to have the determination to end his life again in a short period of time.
Inoue Yuo sat quietly in the car, staring in a daze at the Akita dog that was very close to him.
"Oh, he seems to be scared silly."
This time, Inoue Yuo heard clearly that it was the dog that spoke.
"Look at his stupid look. Maybe he was frightened to the point of peeing his pants."
Inoue Yuo slowly came back to his senses. This dog's mouth was even more insulting than those Osaka aunties.
"Ugh……"
Inoue Yuo sighed, opened the car door and walked out, raising his hands in surrender.
He knew himself well and knew that he could not withstand the enemy's possible harsh interrogation methods.
Instead of confessing and cooperating after suffering physical torture, he felt that he should skip this step directly.
Would this be surrendering too quickly?
However, Inoue Yuo, the devout believer who was willing to die for his faith in the Virgin Mary, had just chosen to commit suicide.
But he didn't die.
The person who now dominates this young body is Yuo Inoue, who has died once.
He has many human weaknesses, such as fear of death and fear of pain and torture.
Sometimes he wondered if knowing himself too well was a good thing.
After all, no matter which criteria you use, it is hard to consider him as someone who can touch the bottom line of qualification.
Of course, he could also pretend to be tough first, so as to show off his backbone in front of these people.
"Even if you try to stop me from committing suicide, I won't say anything because I still firmly believe in my faith in the Virgin Mary!"
Inoue Yuo really wanted to say something like this to show his noble character even though he was trapped in the enemy camp.
But when that Master Liansheng's calm gaze swept over him, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and the first words out of his mouth became.
"Whatever information you want to know, I am willing to confess it as long as I know it."
After saying this, Inoue Yuo was stunned for a moment, and then he became calm.
"..."
"..."
Iori Miyaji and Inugami were both stunned, and felt unbelievable at the same time, thinking that there must be something fishy going on here.
"This person is not easy to deal with!"
Inugami jumped down from the hood of the car, with a serious expression, and walked around Inoue Yuuo.
"Your ability to adjust your mindset is truly admirable. No wonder you can hold a high position in a cult like Aum Shinrikyo." Iori Miyaji's tone also became more serious.
"Above me there are three treasure masters, religious leaders, and gods. There are fifteen people in the Three Sutras, Five Books, and Seven Treatises listed alongside me. I can only be considered a middle-level cadre." Inoue Yuo explained seriously.
"You were the one who pretended to be a policeman on the island and killed Kurokawa Tama?"
"I killed him. I threw him into the sea and he drowned."
Inoue Yuo nodded and admitted his crime. "But I didn't pretend to be a policeman. I passed the police profession with my own ability. It's not difficult."
“You look young?”
"Young people are more motivated and enthusiastic about their work. Now we are all promoting the policy of training younger cadres in the church. We are much better than you in promoting new people."
"You just want to take advantage of the immature minds of young people to commit some extreme terrorist acts!"
"No matter how you explain it, it's a bunch of old guys who hold important positions in the government and business. I'm not wrong about that."
"What's your real name?" Iori Miyaji didn't want to continue the previous topic with him.
"Inoue Yuo, I actually think this name is more suitable for a girl. Maybe my parents were planning to have a daughter."
"Why did you join Aum Shinrikyo?"
"My parents introduced me to the group, and I rose to the middle level while they were still at the bottom of the group. They didn't know I was their boss."
"Any other questions? Where do I live now? Who is my boss and how do I get in touch with him?"
Inoue Yuo felt that he was very calm and cooperative.
"..."
Iori Miyaji was stunned for a moment and did not ask any further questions. He felt that this scene was too strange.
Isn't this person in front of me too cooperative?
He answered whatever I asked, and he answered calmly, not at all like a prisoner.
Not to mention, he had just chosen to take the extreme step of committing suicide for his beliefs.
wrong!
This person must be cheating!
Is he deliberately delaying time here?
Thinking of this, Iori Miyaji immediately asked Inoue Yuuo to take himself, Master Rensheng, and Inugami to his base nearby.
"Please go this way."
Inoue Yuo happily led the way, and when he arrived at his house, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
He entered the room and turned on the light. This time he did not change his shoes in the shoe cabinet.
Walking through the living room and up to the second-floor bedroom, everything looked very ordinary.
Inugami walked around and finally confirmed that there was only one person living here on weekdays and almost no outsiders visited.
In many places, there are indeed smells and traces of Inoue Yuo's life there.
In the bedroom on the second floor, when Inoue Yuo lifted the red cloth, the statue of the Virgin Mary, which was originally intact, suddenly cracked and shattered for some unknown reason, leaving only a shrine filled with mutton-fat jade powder.
“When I left just now, the statue of the Virgin Mary was still intact.”
Inoue Yuo explained seriously.
Believe it or not!
Iori Miyaji's evaluation of Inoue Yuuo rose by one level.
Hiramiya Chiya glanced at Inoue Yuuo. He also found it very strange. There were almost no lies in Inoue Yuuo's answers throughout the whole process, including this sentence now.
But he didn't have the ability of telepathy, so he couldn't see what Inoue Yuuo was really thinking. He could only judge whether he was lying based on what he said.
But this is indeed unbelievable. After all, Inoue Yuuo was determined to set himself on fire. If he hadn't stopped himself, he would have been burned to death.
This way of dying is horrible. Most people would not choose such a painful way even if they wanted to commit suicide.
"Don't you, Aum Shinrikyo, believe in Lord Shiva?"
"Lord Shiva is just an incarnation of the Mother Mother. This is something only we middle-level cadres know."
"Who is the Virgin Mary you are talking about?"
"The Pure Land of Worry-Freeness, the Immaculate Virgin Mary."
As soon as Inoue Yuo said this, the atmosphere around him seemed to become gloomy for a short time, but it soon dissipated. Something was strange just now!
Hiramiya Chiya, Iori Miyaji and Inugami all noticed the fleeting abnormal atmosphere.
"This sentence has a power similar to that of a spirit of words!"
Iori Miyaji spoke in a serious tone, looking at the pile of mutton-fat jade powder in the shrine with an extremely alert expression.
This means that even if an ordinary person shouts out the words "Worry-free True Homeland, Immaculate Mother Goddess" just now, it can trigger an effect similar to that of a spiritual word.
It seemed that the Virgin Mary could sense what was happening here based on these words and decide whether to descend here or not.
This has reached an unspeakable realm, and is definitely the most terrifying among the gods.
“Everyone who speaks will be known.”
At this moment, the Inugami also changed from the appearance of an Akita Inu to the form of a human body with a dog's head. He had a serious expression and sharp eyes. He pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword and strike at any time.
"maybe."
Inoue Yuo gave a helpless smile.
The level of the Virgin Mary and the Leader is still far away from him.
Just as he can give orders to his believers through the statue of Lord Shiva, Lord Tibetan and the leader must possess even more magical powers.
Not to mention the Virgin Mary.
"This is the long-term base I prepared for myself. I rarely come back on weekdays. I will only come here when I find that there is danger approaching, change my identity, and avoid possible danger."
Inoue Yuo took Chiya Hiramiya and their dog on a tour of his house.
It's a very ordinary house, only the statue of the Virgin Mary has a slightly cult feel.
"This is normal. We are first and foremost normal people living in this society, and then we are members of Aum Shinrikyo. No one wants their home, where they rest, to be in a mess."
Regarding Inoue Yuuo's words, Miyaji Iori expressed serious doubts. Could someone who could join Aum Shinrikyo and climb to the position of a middle-level cadre be an ordinary person?
"It's almost dawn, the sun should come out."
Inoue Yuo glanced at the clock on the wall and told Iori Miyaji that he came back here before because he wanted to watch the sunrise before leaving.
Unexpectedly, it was found.
Iori Miyaji also remained skeptical about this statement.
After Miyaji Iori chatted with Chiya Hiramiya for a while, he called Shinji Mikami, who had set up a trap nearby to prevent the criminals from escaping, to come and deal with the issue of Yuuo Inoue.
Interrogation and investigation are not their specialties.
If it is demons and monsters, it is okay, but once it involves people, it is difficult to deal with it casually.
People have human rights, at least the government in power recognizes this.
Before being taken away, Inoue Yuno came to Pinggong Qianye and said seriously: "Master Liansheng, you are a great monk with great magical powers. If I am caught by you, I will admit defeat."
At the same time, he sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that you can't act beyond modern laws. You are destined to only judge matters involving demons and monsters."
When Inoue Yuo was brought back to the demon department for investigation, Inugami couldn't help but ask: "Is this the end?"
"We cannot arbitrarily decide a person's life, and the only crime we know about Inoue Yuo is murder and dumping the body at sea."
"If you want to try him, you have to go through the formal procedures. Once lynching is allowed, it will completely shake the legal foundation of the entire country."
Iori Miyaji sighed and explained a few words.
Inugami touched his dog's head and said, "But when we dealt with Kimura before, didn't Master Liansheng yell at him to death on the spot?"
"The situation was different. Kimura was committing a crime at the time, and the heretic Shiva was very dangerous. There was nothing wrong with killing him with a single blow, and it was also legitimate defense."
Iori Miyaji looked at the sun that was about to rise on the mountain in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, "But, just now, Inoue Yuo gave up resistance as soon as he got off the car and actively cooperated with the investigation. If you want to kill him, you need a legitimate reason."
"It has nothing to do with the law, it has to do with what we do."
"Of course we could design a plot in which he rebels and then shoot him to death, or even make up a script that only we know."
"But, can you really deceive your own heart like this?"
Pinggong Qianye on the side did not say anything, but just remained silent as he looked at the rising sun in the distance.
If Inoue Yuo had really chosen to resist after getting off the car just now, he would have killed Inoue Yuo with a slap.
However, after getting off the car, Inoue Yuo chose to surrender directly, which was a very smart and cunning move.
At that time, he really couldn't kill Inoue Yuo with just a slap.
Can Buddhism override contemporary laws?
My own Buddhist teachings made me let go of my murderous intent at that moment.
Is this correct or wrong?
Difficult to measure.
This is also the reason why he doesn't really want to chat with Inoue Yuuo.
Inugami's head was buzzing with pain after hearing this, so he simply gave up thinking. Finally, he raised his head slightly and cursed, "It's so damn hard to be a good person!"
It is indeed difficult to be a good person, so good people are more likely to be pointed at with guns.
Hiramiya Chiye agreed deeply with Inugami's words and felt that the other party had finally said something right.
Perhaps he is still young and would feel indignant about such things.
If he were a few years older, perhaps he wouldn't be so upset about this.
Buddha is merciful after all, even when he is pointed at with a gun.
Therefore, I am not a Buddha yet and I still need to continue to work hard on my practice.
……
I won’t die.
When Inoue Yuo got into the police car and away from Master Liansheng, he knew that he had escaped danger again.
He won't die.
This outcome was already determined when he got into the police car to receive the so-called fair trial verdict.
Even if the final result is that he is found guilty and must be sentenced to death, he will never die.
Because he knows too well the twists and turns and layers of procedures within government departments.
As long as any one of the links went wrong, he would definitely be rescued by other members of Aum Shinrikyo.
The first people who come into contact with and understand the demons, monsters, cults and heresies in this world are not ordinary people, but people in high positions.
He truly admired Master Liansheng for sparing him, because at that moment he chose to give up his murderous intention.
The police car drove towards the local police station at a moderate speed.
Suddenly, the car stopped and the police officers on guard around fell asleep one after another.
The car door opened automatically.
Inoue Yuo just took a look outside and did not choose to run away. Instead, he sat quietly in the police car.
There are always some people who, like me, no longer believe in so-called fairness and justice and want to design some plots to kill me.
Oh, he won't leave the police car or show any suspicious resistance.
If you want to kill me, you can either do it openly or sit back and watch me go through a series of trials and judgments and get away with it in the near future.
After a while, the police car behind caught up.
Inoue Yuo was transferred to another police car for custody, in which two members of the demon department were in charge.
“It’s really hard to be a good person.”
Inoue Yuo murmured in his heart, with a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Inoue Yuo eventually died.
He died on the second night after he entered the demon kingdom.
