The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 410 Urban Legend Part 2 ()

The moment the dog turned its head, Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita were both shocked.

What a strange shape it was... the body of a stray dog ​​with a human head. The key point was that the human head was in the image of a Mediterranean uncle, and he was sticking out his tongue at them like a dog.

After seeing them, the human-faced dog turned around and took a step towards them.

"So disgusting..." Inuyama Heita took a step back. The moment he saw the other person's image, he felt physically uncomfortable.

A low growl came from the throat of the human-faced dog, which reminded Inuyama Heita of the dog-demon shikigami he had fought before. He understood that this was a sign before a dog attack. Although he didn't understand why the human-faced dog, which was said to be non-aggressive, would behave like this, he still became alert and took a defensive posture.

Qian Xiaoyi also reached into his arms and pulled out an ink line.

The two men and the dog were facing each other. At this moment, the human-faced dog finally moved. It took another step forward and shouted:
"The section chief is a jerk! Woof!"

"Huh?" Inuyama Heita was stunned. Not only him, but even Qian Xiaoyi had a surprised expression: Which section chief?
“What a shitty senior!” The human-faced dog said in a very gloomy tone, “He just entered the company a few years earlier than me, but he puts on airs! His work ability is obviously a mess, he rushes to take the credit, and lets the subordinates do the difficult things. He doesn’t treat us newcomers as human beings at all. This kind of boss is the worst. Go to hell soon!”

"Indeed." Qian Xiaoyi agreed: "The seniority system of Japanese companies always breeds a group of people who have years of service but no ability and just sit there doing nothing. This is probably one of the factors that caused the Japanese economy to stagnate."

"Don't agree with it, Brother Otoko!" Inuyama Heita couldn't help but say, "And is now the time to discuss the Japanese economy?"

"The new girl in the company has a really nice figure." The human-faced dog immediately changed to a lewd expression, drooling and saying, "She's always in front of me. She blushes when I tell her some dirty jokes. She's much better than that shrew at home. My wife only scolds me all day long. The girl in the company is better. She calls me 'senior, senior' all the time. It would be great if I could marry Xiaoxiang at the front desk..."

Inuyama Heita said with disgust: "Wow~ You are starting to say some dirty words. Is this really an urban legend? It's too... tasteless, isn't it?"

Compared with the dangerous urban legends we have seen before, such as the Slit-Mouthed Woman and the Monkey Dream, this human-faced dog is simply a different style of painting, making people feel like they have come to a comedy comic, which is both weird and a little funny.

"There are many kinds of urban legends." Qian Xiaoyi stared at the human-faced dog and said, "This one is probably the type that is completely harmless."

Then, Qian Xiaoyi suddenly shouted to the human-faced dog: "Hey, can you drink more? Sato, let's go to another place to drink."

Upon hearing this, the human-faced dog's face suddenly changed, and it vomited with a "Rua" sound. The vomit exuded a foul smell of alcohol. It said drunkenly: "I really can't drink anymore, please let me go, Minister... Ugh~"

"Why do you call it Sato?" Inuyama Heita's desire to complain gradually grew: "And why did it agree?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "It's just a casual call. Anyway, in Japan, everyone has one or two Satos around them, right?"

Sato is the most common surname in Japan, and its popularity is probably about the same as "Lao Wang" and "Xiao Li" in China.

"What's going on?" Inuyama Heita asked, "Could it be that the prototype of the human-faced dog is a certain office worker named Sato? And why do you know this, Brother Oto?"

Urban legends about human-faced dogs are often very simple. It is about someone seeing a dog with an elderly human face while walking on the street, and that's all. There is no mention of a surname or anything like that.

"It's very simple." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Didn't you notice that this guy's behavior is completely inconsistent? At first he said he was a newcomer and complained about his boss, then he suddenly turned into a seasoned man who flirted with young girls, and finally he suddenly fell into a drunken state... So, do you understand?"

Inuyama Heita thought about what Qian Xiaoyi said, and then suddenly realized: "Brother Yi, you mean... the human-faced dog is actually a collection of the cognition of those office workers?"

"To be precise, it is the cognitive aggregate of office workers who go to Kabukicho to drink." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Maybe at the beginning, it was just a drunk office worker who fell down in an alley by the roadside, lying on the ground and acting crazy. As a result, he was found by passers-by and mistaken for the so-called human-faced dog. Then this cognitive image was determined and gradually took shape. Then it became like this - an urban legend monster born from the resentment of office workers, the human-faced dog~"

Ah Jian floated out of the jade pendant and sighed, "Even though it is a collection of resentment, it has no offensive power at all. It only dares to reveal its thoughts when drinking in private. Is it really worthy of being a Japanese office worker?"

Inuyama Heita stared at Ken and thought: A otaku who has been hiding behind a telephone pole for more than ten years and has not turned into a ghost doesn't seem to have the right to say such things? And you came out only after hearing that there was no danger... You are indeed worthy of being Ken.

Ken noticed Inuyama Heita's contemptuous expression and said angrily, "Inuyama, what's that look in your eyes? You must be thinking something very rude, right?"

"No, Mr. Ken, you're overthinking it." Inuyama Heita looked away and looked to the side.

"Don't look away! You are thinking about something very rude!" Ajian was furious.

Inuyama Heita immediately changed the subject and asked, "Now that we have found the human-faced dog, what should we do? Eliminate it?"

Ignoring Ah Jian's clamor, Qian Xiaoyi said, "Will you feel a sense of accomplishment if you kill a drunk office boy? Moreover, these old urban legends often have strong regenerative properties. Even if you kill this one, it might reappear in a corner tomorrow to continue to scare passers-by who stray into the ghostland. Doing so is undoubtedly a waste of effort."

"Then what should we do?" asked Inuyama Heita. They had finally found this guy. It was impossible for them to just do nothing and leave after taking a look, right?
Qian Xiaoyi said: "Of course there is something to do, have you forgotten? Didn't I say before that from now on, your special training will begin, so it's not us who will do it, but you who will do it, Heitaro, listen carefully..."
