Coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu felt slightly puzzled—who could be visiting his home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the time when Kamikawa Chie would return, but she had a key and didn’t need to ring the bell; it must be an outsider. Yet since the original owner’s parents died, few people ever came to the Kamikawa household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suppressed his yokai aura and reverted to his human form before going to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Mori.” Kamikawa Mitsu said, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two middle-aged men stood at his doorstep; Kamikawa Mitsu recognized one of them—the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department inspector, Mori Takeshi, who had shared hardship with him aboard NH137.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other man, he didn’t know, but he could guess his identity—likely another inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department, just like Mori.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Mori and the other inspector, Kamikawa Mitsu immediately understood: they had come for the “Late King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that the government had discovered the Late King was Kamikawa Mitsu—that was impossible to uncover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the system protected the account; even the system itself, or a god, couldn’t trace the Late King’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were seeking Kamikawa Mitsu to find clues on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Late King’s second video was released, the government faced unprecedented public backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, online and offline alike, many were discussing the video’s revelations about zaibatsu corruption and government meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in history, Japanese public dissatisfaction with the government reached an all-time high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands across Japan held protests, vowing their discontent with the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We want the truth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The government must explain itself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The government treats human lives as worthless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The zaibatsu secretly murdered civilians for profit—we demand fairness and justice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chants of all kinds erupted—all sparked by a single video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Japanese government, today was dark, catastrophic, and exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bore immense pressure; if they failed to quell public rage, political unrest was likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, as top officials scrambled desperately, many wanted to curse aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all the Late King’s fault!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Late King hadn’t released those videos, they wouldn’t be bearing such crushing responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, top officials jointly ordered the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to launch an investigation into the Late King—to find out how he managed to film their secret meetings, and uncover the truth at all costs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they’d never dare hold another national meeting again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine: every time they convened a secret meeting, soon after, footage of it flooded the internet—their secrets exposed. Who could endure that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has secrets; as the nation’s highest authority, they had far more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These secrets involved state secrets—cannot be made public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Late King’s appearance shattered this rule—a fatal blow to the government, utterly intolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, the Special Superhuman Affairs Division, newly established by congressional decree to handle yokai, shrine maidens, and other supernatural beings, received its first order on its very first day: spare no cost to find the Late King!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mori Takeshi, due to his outstanding police skills and considerable strength, was reassigned to the Special Superhuman Affairs Division as one of its first core members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through investigation, he discovered the connection between the two videos released by the Late King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first video, Kamikawa Mitsu had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second video, while Nakano Yuichi and Sakurada Wenzhi mentioned the apartment and its last resident, they never explicitly named Kamikawa Mitsu—not even his surname (see Chapter 25).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the government’s resources, investigating the collaboration between Chairman Yamazaki and Sakurada Wenzhi, then tracing the apartment and its resident list, was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They confirmed Kamikawa Mitsu was also a resident of that apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu was the only person to appear in both videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he became a key suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kamikawa-kun, we meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mori Takeshi grinned, his bearded chin shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce you—this is my colleague from the police, Yoshimura Yoshimura. Ha, isn’t that a funny name? I think so too—just call him Inspector Yoshimura.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under the excuse of being nearby on a case and knowing Kamikawa Mitsu lived close by, Mori Takeshi entered Kamikawa Mitsu’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu saw through the lie but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kamikawa-kun, how have you been lately… ah, I probably shouldn’t ask that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve seen the video, right? I’ve seen it too. Don’t worry—I’ve reported this to the higher-ups. They’ll thoroughly investigate Yamazaki Corporation and ensure justice for all residents of your apartment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a police inspector, he couldn’t possibly pretend ignorance of the video; he naturally didn’t act foolishly by denying he’d seen it—he brought it up himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was here to investigate Kamikawa Mitsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he himself didn’t believe Kamikawa Mitsu was connected to the Late King—or was the Late King—what if he was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kamikawa Mitsu was the Late King, perhaps saying this would lower his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Inspector Mori.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he chatted with Mori, Kamikawa Mitsu answered every probing question fully and truthfully—everything he said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included how Nakano Yuichi threatened them, that he was working at a convenience store during the Yunhu incident in Arakawa Ward, and that he was in class during the congressional meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He revealed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu had a perfect alibi: convenience store surveillance footage, teachers and students all confirmed he was in class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pieces of evidence couldn’t be falsified and were easily verifiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Convenience store surveillance, street cameras near Kamikawa Mitsu’s home, surveillance outside nearby residents’ doors—all could be retrieved, analyzed by experts, and conclusively prove he was at the store at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could they review the footage, but police could also interview customers seen in the convenience store surveillance to confirm whether Kamikawa Mitsu was there that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though several days had passed, they didn’t fear customers forgetting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: the Yunhu incident was such a major event that day—customers couldn’t possibly forget what they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the convenience store where Kamikawa Mitsu worked and the Sakurada Group building were not in the same location; though both were in Arakawa Ward, one was in a residential apartment complex, the other on a bustling street, separated by a vast distance—there simply wasn’t enough time to travel between them. Thus, once customer testimonies confirmed his presence, it would clearly prove he wasn’t there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides customer testimony…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Yunhu incident, everyone in Arakawa Ward came out to watch; the street where Kamikawa Mitsu’s convenience store stood was surely packed—someone must have seen him, proving he was present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the congressional meeting, Kamikawa Mitsu was at Arakawa High School and had just beaten up a school bully, so many could testify he was on campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arakawa Ward was far from Tokyo—walking was impossible; he’d need at least the subway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such distance, and Kamikawa Mitsu being in class during the congressional meeting, his teachers and classmates could all confirm his whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Kamikawa Mitsu’s answers, Mori Takeshi and Yoshimura Yoshimura exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Kamikawa Mitsu’s responses, they largely ruled out the possibility that he was the Late King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, to confirm definitively, they would monitor him over the coming days, perhaps even a full week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Late King released another video and Kamikawa Mitsu remained absent, it would prove he wasn’t the Late King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, under surveillance, they could also rule out any connection or accomplice relationship between Kamikawa Mitsu and the Late King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without telepathy, Kamikawa Mitsu knew they would monitor him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He created the videos inside his consciousness space—in other words, while they watched him sitting in his living room watching TV, he was already inside his mind, producing and uploading the videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for accomplices or connections—impossible to detect through surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu himself was the Late King; if the government couldn’t find out he was the Late King, how could they find out he had accomplices?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mori Takeshi, Yoshimura Yoshimura, and Kamikawa Mitsu’s sister chatted late into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked until 10 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, a private villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the villa stood dozens of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Mei and Xiaozhi Tsuchimikado were among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside them were the chief priests and abbots of major Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples—Asakusa Temple, Ise Shrine, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Takahashi was also there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1512,"2026-06-20T17:56:08.120Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6cebeeb80c67748db176957f0ed7683e7bd56686bc505b5cc8a4b4acbc18f7ff","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-62","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-60",477,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-cover.jpg"]
