"Either way, those lunatics aren't something we can provoke."

Seeing that Xue Na realized the seriousness of the problem, Onoda's face softened a little, and then continued.

"That's what I hate most about Japan, that a madman like that can exist legally!"

In the common sense of ordinary people, a normal country absolutely does not allow the existence of cults.

This is true even in religious states where religion is founded.

In other words, countries based on religion are more rejecting the existence of infidels.

However, due to various historical problems, Japan, which has joined the TPC Joint Organization, has allowed the existence of various private sects.

In fact, this history can even be traced back to the end of World War II.

At that time, Japan was occupied by the United States and became a de facto colony of the United States.

The emperor's authority came to an abrupt end, and a vacuum of faith was created throughout Japanese society.

In order to suppress bushido in Japan, the United States allowed a variety of faiths to enter Japan.

A large number of religious groups entered Japan to preach, and various cults also took advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold and develop in Japan.

Religious groups have a very obvious advantage over other organizations, and that is that they are exempt from taxes.

Under U.S. law, religious organizations are tax-exempt and have a 100 percent profit margin.

For example, if a church receives a donation of $1 million a year, the church can dispose of the $1 million at its discretion and does not need to pay a penny in taxes.

The church is nominally a positive image, helping the poor, teaching people to do good deeds, and positively influencing those around them to do meaningful work.

Therefore, the U.S. government basically does not interfere in religious affairs.

This is especially important for some small churches.

The United States also pursued this policy in Japan, which naturally became an important reason for the explosive growth of religious groups in Japan after the war.

Religious groups and businesses are essentially the same interest group, but religious groups are risk-free and tax-free, so many Japanese elites would rather run religious groups than businesses.

Japan's post-World War II economy is recovering rapidly, but it is still struggling, which makes religious groups very attractive.

Many wealthy people set up a religious group, donate their money to this religious group, and then transfer their accounts through the religious group, thus saving a lot of money.

Over time, various cult groups emerged one after another and became a specialty of Japan.

This has not changed even after Japan joined the TPC, and various private religious groups have flourished throughout the country.

Xue Na's earlier mention of the "Tianyi Sect" is one of them.

Not only does this religious group have a lot of money and support, but it even has a secret armed team dedicated to finding the "man of God" from heaven.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those crazy people."

Skipping the topic quickly, Onoda clearly knew Xuena's character.

Although the other party always has some unrealistic fantasies, as a reporter's ability, this eldest lady is indeed beyond doubt.

"Since you chose this beach as your destination, you must have found some clues, right?"

Onoda's question seems to be a question, but in fact it is a speculation and conviction.

This can also be seen from the distribution and scope of activities of the Tianyi Sect, and Amami City must have information about the pair of "ancestors and grandchildren" in the photo.

"Yes, based on my reconstruction and analysis of that photo from ten years ago, it is certain that that the photo was taken on this beach."

After being diverted by Onoda, Xue Na regained her previous enthusiasm and confidence.

"And judging from the costume in the photo, the woman who is suspected of being an 'immortal' must have settled in this neighborhood......"

At this, Xue Na's tone paused slightly, and she looked at Onoda who was still contemplative with a rather expectant gaze.

"So what?"

Immediately aware of Xue Na's careful thoughts, Onoda had to ask with a smile.

This young lady may indeed have the qualities to be a top journalist in terms of ability.

But when it comes to his own character and ideas, he seems a little too naïve and naïve.

Especially this kind of character that needs to be coaxed all the time, it's no different from a child, I really don't know how she grew up to such an age.

"So I asked my friend to investigate the residents in the neighborhood and found something strange."

"There is a house where the property tax is paid every year, and all kinds of daily utility bills are not settled, but few people know the specific information of the owner of the house."

"The only information that can be found about the owner of the house is an old man who died ten years ago."

Hearing Xue Na say this, Onoda's sensitive nerves that belong to reporters were stimulated, and his expression became a little serious.

"Ten years ago again?"

The girl who appeared to be an "immortal" took her last photo ten years ago.

And the owner of this house also died ten years ago.

This obviously cannot be a coincidence, and there must be some kind of hidden connection hidden in it.

Although Onoda still doesn't believe that the so-called "immortals" in Xue Na's mouth really exist, these coincidences are enough to prove that the clues that the two of them are pursuing are not meaningless.

"Yes, it was ten years ago."

"In addition to this, my friend also investigated an additional piece of information, which is that the original origin of the Tianyi Sect seems to be Amami Island."

When she said this, Xue Na was actually a little unsure whether there was an inevitable connection between the two.

However, considering the danger of the Tianyi Sect, Xue Na felt the need to emphasize and explain this to Onoda.

"Where did it origin?"

A girl suspected of being an "immortal", an old man who died ten years ago, and the origin of Tianyi Sect......

All of these clues are related to Amami Island.

Onoda had to admit that he and Xue Na seemed to have bumped into a big fish by accident this time.

"Where is that house you investigated?"

After a moment of thought, Onoda regained his spirits and devoted himself to the investigation of this "urban legend" for the first time.

The legend of the "Immortals" is, of course, somewhat nonsense.

But the origin story of a sect should be a good headline, right?

If there are some grievances and hatreds involved, its value will be even higher, and it will not be in vain.

"It's not far from here, I'll take you there now!"

Seeing that her investigation had been affirmed by Onoda, the smile on Xuena's face became even brighter.

Being able to get the affirmation of her predecessors is far more exciting for Xue Na than investigating and sorting out those complicated clues.
