Chapter 832 The Beginning of the War (11)
Superpowers, UFOs, ghosts... Since the 1980s, due to the influence of the two major powers in the Cold War, this trend of studying supernatural phenomena has swept the entire world, and Japan is naturally no exception.
Even though that trend has passed, there are still fans who believe in these things. This shows how enthusiastic the atmosphere was at that time, and almost everyone was discussing those things.
Qian Xiaoyi recalled that in the records passed down by Lingkong Master, it seemed that a group of special people briefly appeared due to the influence of group cognition.
"Although at that time, as the economic bubble burst, everyone began to worry about their livelihood and had too much time to take care of themselves. The craze for supernatural research gradually began to subside." Ashiya Kisuke continued to tell the story of Amahara Mari: "But Hayabune Katsuhiko still went smoothly. He caught the tail end of this craze, used deception to attract investment, and founded his own superpower research institution.”
Ashiya Yoshisuke paused and drank some water to moisten his throat: "...As you can see, this institution called [Supernova Children's Potential Development Institute], as the name suggests, is a children's training institution. Hayafune Katsuhiko claimed that he has Having found the switch that activates superpowers in the human body, we can develop the potential of children and let them awaken their superpowers..."
Ashiya Jisuke smiled sarcastically: "These superpowers include teleportation, clairvoyance, hearing images, and precognition...and only children have the opportunity to develop superpowers because their bodies are not fully developed yet, so they have the opportunity to interfere. , activate their potential, but adults cannot do it because of their stereotyped bodies.”
Qian Xiaoyi sneered: "It sounds reasonable. In fact, children are easier to control and deceive, right?"
"That may indeed be the case, but we just need to know that he made his fortune from this." Kisuke Ashiya continued: "In the next few years, by constantly deceiving parents who want their children to develop superpowers, Hayafune Katsu will Yan's development went smoothly, and there were even TV stations to interview him at that time, but unfortunately, the information has been lost for a long time, and the footage cannot be found."
"Many people believe that he is the [Superpower Godfather], including some employees in his agency. When he was most proud, he married a female employee who admired his talent, and then gave birth to his own daughter. It’s Chizuru Hayafune.”
"But the good times did not last long. After the millennium, the trend of super powers faded away, and the business of the organization began to slump. Chizuru Hayafune's mother may have been brainwashed by Katsuhiko Hayafune and was convinced of the scam of super powers. She also Wanting his daughter to awaken her superpowers, Katsuhiko Hayafune followed suit and used Chizuru Hayafune as the signature of his agency, packaging her as a genius girl with superpowers to attract business. "
"However, this does not change the decline of this training institution. Those trained [superpower children] who have grown up found that they did not awaken any superpowers when they grew up. They were deceived, so a large number of people were deceived. The children and parents came to the door, wanting an explanation and compensation, but by the time they got there, the Supernova Children's Potential Development Center had been closed, all employees were missing, and Hayafune Katsuhiko disappeared.”
Masato Shichijo was very disdainful: "The money ran away."
Hoshiba Joe touched his chin: "Kasuhiko Hayafune has disappeared, so the next step will be the era of [Mari Amahara], right?"
"That's right." Ashiya Jisuke pressed the remote control again, and the next picture appeared. It was exactly what Mari Amahara looked like now. He had a little beard, his hair was longer, he was wearing a white robe, and he opened his hands like He faces the believers like a saint.
"A few years later, a new sect emerged, which is what we know as the Hope Sect." Ashiya Jisuke said: "Haafune Katsuhiko has since become [Amahara Mari]. He used his original team to form The prototype of the Hope Sect was born. I am afraid that Baigui took a fancy to his talent as a liar and asked him to establish this sect as a puppet for his activities in the outside world. "
Suzuna asked curiously: "But...why is it him? Is he just a liar who is being chased around? He said it was a talent, but he didn't see how powerful his talent was. In the end, it wasn't Can only run away?”
Inuyama Heita was a little surprised: "Is Ms. Suzuna actually here too?"
"What do you mean, I'm here too! How rude!" Suzuna said angrily: "I am also a spirit exterminator after all, right?"
Ashiya Jisuke became a little serious: "Suzuna's question is very good. It is indeed a question worth thinking about, so I suspect that it is possible that Mari Amahara really researched something during her time at the superpower training institution. Come on, that’s why the Hundred Ghosts chose him. "What kind of research...are you talking about superpowers?"
"Impossible! He really wouldn't run away if he had superpowers~"
"Superpowers don't exist."
"What are you talking about?! If you ask me, not only do superpowers exist, but UFOs, the Loch Ness Monster, ghosts, and underground people all exist!"
Just when everyone was having different opinions, Qian Xiaoyi said: "Is it that one? The Aquarius User. During the period of 'developing children's potential', perhaps because of some tragic accident, Tianyuan Mari accidentally discovered the Aquarius User. Manufacturing method, or idea. ”
After saying this, everyone suddenly realized.
"It makes sense! Those Aquarians are indeed existences that cannot be ignored."
"But I remember... Aquarians are all monsters made by relying on the power of [Despair], right? What did he do in a children's training institution to discover such a thing..."
"It sounds like that guy is really a huge bastard! It would be a shame to die!"
Ashiya Jisuke nodded: "Qian Jun's speculation is probably correct. I am afraid that it is because of this that Mari Amahara can become a cadre of Hyakki instead of a mere puppet. At this point, our clear enemy of the Spiritual Master Alliance has been Sure, as spiritual masters, we only need to perform in our own field. We also have dedicated people to take care of secular matters.”
Masato Shichijo and Mio Tachibana looked at each other and nodded. This was exactly their mission. After hearing what Mari Amahara had done, their fighting spirit became even more intense.
"Having talked about Mari Amahara, let me introduce you to the main enemies of the Hope Sect that we, the exorcists, have to deal with." Ashiya Jisuke began to control the remote control.
"First of all, of course it is the founder of the religion, Mari Amahara. I have already told you about him, and I will leave it to the strongest among us to deal with him."
"Then, his daughter, Chizuru Hayafune, is what everyone calls a [monster]. She may be the most terrifying existence in the Hope Cult. Please be careful when you see her and don't attack without permission."
Since no recent photos of Chizuru Hayafune could be found, Ashiya Jisuke could only use photos of her as a child instead.
Looking at the photos on the projection cloth, Inuyama Heita had some doubts and anger.
"One, why would you... help someone like that?" he thought.
