I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 185 Arson
When Matsushige heard this, the smile on his face froze, his expression darkened, and he revealed visible disappointment.

"Is that so? I hope all the officers will work hard to catch the thief as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint the public's expectations of you. Please."

After hearing his somewhat sarcastic words, Uesugi Kouka sighed inwardly and did not react. She just nodded calmly and gave a formulaic reply.

"We'll do our best, please be patient."

She has been a police officer for nearly a year. She is no longer speechless when asked questions by victims as when she first started. She has some experience in dealing with such victims and understands their anxiety.

This is what the police do. Not only do they have to compete with criminals and thieves in a battle of wits and courage, but they also have to learn how to get along with the citizens.

It looks tiring, but after all, the police are paid by taxpayers' money.
Matsushige was already tired of hearing this formulaic answer that sounded like AI. He pulled the corners of his mouth unhappily and his eyes fell on the back of the policewoman.

He was nearly forty years old, and his wife at home had already aged and faded, to the point where the sight of her made him sick. But out of fear of his wife, he dared not go to brothels, so he had to watch unhealthy movies in secret.

In the past, my favorite thing was to go to the street and watch those beautiful young female students leaving school, or watch some pretty and plump housekeepers going shopping in the supermarket, but the policewoman in front of me had a heavier breathing.

She and her partner had been waiting here for the past few days to investigate, so she was wearing casual clothes.

Probably because it was hot, she took off her coat and simply wore a white shirt and a pair of slim-fit black women's trousers, which perfectly accentuated her round and straight long legs, making them look just the right amount of fleshy. A little more would make her look too fat, and a little less would make her look a little thinner.

As expected, if you look up, you can see with your own eyes the damn shelves with beautiful curves that make your blood boil.

When she went inside to choose goods, the shelves blocked her view, and she reluctantly looked away.

'It's the same thing again. I'll try my best and wait patiently, but there's no definite news. If you don't have the ability to be a police officer, you can go to a sex shop to work part-time. At least you can relax everyone instead of standing here and giving taxpayers those meaningless perfunctory words.'

Thinking of this, he looked up at the simple sign at the entrance of the convenience store. There were already many flying insects clinging there in vain. A big gray rat slipped past the door. The slightly stuffy air made his skin feel sticky.

Summer is coming, and the household expenses will have to add a large amount of electricity bills.

Matsushige Hisa's thoughts suddenly turned from romance to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and he began to consider how to persuade his wife and children not to turn on the air conditioner.

Uesugi Kouka was unaware of her boss's dark and malicious thoughts. She strolled over to the beverage display cabinet, scanned the dazzling array of drinks, and finally locked her eyes on a can of coffee. She opened the display cabinet door and a cold air blew in.

"what!!!"

At this moment, a fat customer not far away suddenly let out a shrill scream, pushed the shopping cart aside and ran outside in a panic, attracting the attention of the already few customers.

The supermarket owner, Matsushige Hisahisa, turned around with a confused look on his face. He stood on tiptoe to look inside and asked the customer what had happened.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked? Is there a mouse?"

"Monster, there is a monster!"

"Monster?" Matsushige Hisahisa was stunned at first. The guest had already fled. Smelling the faint smell of alcohol in the air, he seemed to understand something and scolded the guest from behind.

"Where did this monster come from, you bastard? Are you drunk?!"

Uesugi Kouxia frowned, approached cautiously, and found a strange fox in the aisle between the shelves.

The fox is snow-white all over, with thick and long fur. Even though there is no wind, it seems to be floating in the air as if weightless, creating a sense of elegance.

It was no different in size from an ordinary fox, with two tails behind it. Its neck, four paws, and even its two fluffy cloud-like tails were all burning with blue flames, but it seemed as if it felt no pain.

Or maybe the fire couldn't hurt it at all.

Is it a monster?!

Shangshan Hongxia's breath was choked. She did not come from an ordinary family. She had heard her seniors mention this when she joined the police force.

If you encounter something strange that is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, don't panic or alarm the enemy. Leave to a safe place first, and then call for support.

She subconsciously reached for the pistol at her right waist, held her breath, and stepped back cautiously.

But even though Uesugi Kouka was very careful and made almost no sound, the fox still heard the noise. It first pricked up its ears, then turned its head, met her gaze, and slightly narrowed its narrow fox eyes, as if thinking like a human.

Uesugi Kouka looked at the fox, and even though it didn't look scary, she still felt inexplicably creepy.

She stepped back cautiously, gently unbuttoned the holster with her left hand, gripped the gun handle with her right hand, skillfully and quickly drew the gun and aimed, while speaking subconsciously.

"Don't move! Police!"

The voice was sharp and clear, but the slight tremor could not be hidden.

The fox calmly turned around and faced her, seemingly fearless. His eyes first fell on the muzzle of the gun and then looked at the policewoman.

Dong Yeyu recognized this policewoman. She had come to the restaurant where he worked part-time not long ago for dinner and had helped him with a small favor. It seemed as if he still owed her a favor.

How are you, my dear benefactor? It seems that you have encountered some difficulties.

Dong Yeyu himself felt that it was a coincidence that he could meet a benefactor even though he was just here to cause trouble?

Could this be the legendary time when heaven and earth will unite to exert their strength?
By the way, how many times have you received gratitude rewards recently?

If you count them carefully, it's really astonishingly many.

In previous years when luck was bad, there were only a few openings a year, but this year there are a lot of them.

Well done, benefactors, you did a great job!
When Dongye Yu thought that there would be another opportunity to repay Yu Zi just when her reward for repaying Yu Zi was about to be calculated, he was so excited that he subconsciously grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth.

Of course, we can talk about repaying the favor later, right now is the time to do the evil.

Dong Yeyu took two steps towards her and said in a deep voice: "Roar, human, you actually dare to come towards me. You don't even run away, but take the initiative to come to my door to seek death?"

You fox demon, you clearly walked towards me on your own.

Uesugi Kouka took two steps back cautiously.

The fox demon's voice was unexpectedly pleasant to hear, a bass voice that was faintly resonant and full of magnetism, but not so low that it gave off a sense of decadence. His voice was clear and his tone was solemn, and he spoke these words with a condescending and arrogant attitude.

It was very similar to the voice of the imagined god, but it came out of the monster's mouth.

Uesugi Nijigasaki felt an inexplicable sense of confusion, but then she thought about how fox demons have been famous for deceiving mortals since ancient times, and she felt it was understandable.

Perhaps it is with this ability that they are able to approach and eat mortals.

Uesugi Kouka calmly opened the safety of his pistol, put his finger on the trigger, and warned: "If you come any closer, I will shoot!"

"Shoot? Roar, do you really think this mortal can hurt me, naive and stupid mortal." The fox sneered. "Officer Shangshan, what's going on?"

As if he heard her voice, Matsushige Hisa walked over with some confusion. He was stunned when he saw the female police officer holding a gun and aiming with a look of alertness.

Then he looked in the direction the policewoman was pointing, was stunned for a second, his expression changed from shock to horror, and was about to say something while pointing at the fox when a ball of dark blue flame came towards him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

With his life at stake, Matsushige Hisa triggered the passive talent of the Terrifying Ape - adrenaline.

He immediately ducked down swiftly, not caring whether the fire would set the convenience store on fire or not, and without even looking at it, he turned around and ran out as fast as the wind.

"Monster, monster!!!"

Dongye Yu did not fire another fox fire at him, he just wanted to scare him. He was just an ordinary person with a small mind. Although he rebuked Yu Zi in an ungrateful way, his crime did not deserve the death penalty.

At this moment, gunshots rang out in front of me.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!

When Uesugi Nijixia saw the fox attacking Matsushigehisa, he held his breath and pulled the trigger several times, emptying the magazine directly.

Although all the bullets hit the target, they seemed to have penetrated the air. Not only did they not draw any blood, but they didn't even break a single hair.

The fox demon seemed to be unharmed and continued to walk towards him slowly.
"I told you, this kind of mortal thing is useless! Mortal, if you see me again in the next life, run away!"

As it spoke, it bared its sharp fangs and claws, and pounced towards him with a ferocious look.

Shangshan Hongxia's heartbeat reached its peak. She reacted quickly, pushed the shelf towards the fox demon, and turned around and ran out of the store.

She had never realized that she could run so fast. She walked out of the store in just a few steps. When she came to the street outside and saw people gathered there pointing and talking, she had time to look back.

The fox demon didn't catch up with them, but instead set fire everywhere in the convenience store. In just a few tens of seconds, the convenience store was on fire everywhere.

Matsushige grabbed his partner Shigeyama Naoto by the collar, pointed at the convenience store burning with strange blue flames, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go kill the monster! Aren't you police officers? Use your guns to kill the monster!"

"Calm down! I've already contacted the police station, and someone will be here soon to handle this! Calm down!"

Shigeyama Naoto grabbed Matsushige's hand and yelled at him. Seeing that he was crazy, he raised his hand and slapped him: "Asshole! Wake up!"

This slap seemed to have blown away Matsushige's soul.

Matsushige was stunned and subconsciously let go of the policeman's collar. He took two steps back weakly and turned to look at the convenience store where the fire could not be stopped. He felt that the fire seemed to have set him on fire as well, and tears could not stop flowing.

The inheritance from my father is gone. How am I going to support my family in the future?

"It's on fire? Put out the fire! Call the police and the fire department!"

When Matsushigehisa heard someone shouting, his stunned body shuddered and he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call the fire department.

"Hello, fire department? Fire department, ok, send someone over here, my store is on fire, quick! Asking for the location? Damn, it's my Matsushige convenience store!"

Matsushige was so anxious that he spoke without thinking. It was only later that he realized that he was asking for the specific address. He said with rapid breathing: "Oh, it's the address, right? You want the detailed address, right? Kita Ayase"

After about a few minutes, the surrounding residents were awakened by the noise. They quickly got up and opened the windows. They found that the convenience store was on fire and went out to help.

Some people called the police, some asked questions, and some looked curiously at the convenience store that was burning with blue flames.

After hearing that there was a monster setting fire inside, everyone subconsciously looked inside, but they only saw blue flames burning everywhere in the store, and no monsters.

"Was it a gas explosion? Or was it some chemical fuel that was ignited? It's just that the temperature seems..."

A middle-aged man in pajamas who looked like a scholar speculated with his hands behind his back, looking a little curious, while others took out their mobile phones while talking.

Anyway, the fire in a convenience store in Tokyo, especially this special kind of fire, is considered small news.

Many people took out their mobile phones to record videos, ready to post them on Tiktak to see if they could get some traffic for their pitiful personal accounts.

Shooting a video?
While setting the fire, Dong Ye Yu still had some free time to observe the outside of the store - the blue fox fire could not kill people, nor could it burn ordinary objects, but the visual effect was very scary.

He saw Uesugi Kouka and another policeman trying hard to maintain order, but the onlookers ignorantly wanted to get closer to take pictures.

I'm not afraid of them taking pictures, because the Yin Spirit cannot be photographed anyway.

Higashino Yu originally wanted to confirm the rumor that there was a monster in this convenience store in order to force Matsushige Hisahisa to go to the Iori family to apologize and vent his anger.

Seeing that the residents around had been woken up and gathered around, he fired a few more fox fires, and with the support of his own magic power, he made blue flames surge everywhere inside the convenience store.

Seeing that the fire was burning fiercely and the flames were rising into the sky, he nodded with satisfaction and leaped into the air, turning into a gray-white mist that looked like a fox's head.

"what is that……"

People were stunned at first, and some people realized something was wrong and slowly retreated until the retreat trend turned into a panic escape.

Seeing this, Higashino Yu nodded with satisfaction and his eyes fell on Uesugi Kouka, who was hiding in a street corner not far away, holding a walkie-talkie and seemed to be saying something.

Although she looked pale, she seemed to still be rational and calm, and she kept talking to the person on the other end of the intercom.

Good quality. Dong Yeyu grinned at her and floated away.

Is it smiling at me? Is it laughing at me?

hateful!

Uesugi Kouka watched the fox demon turn into mist and slowly leave after the provocation. She clenched her teeth tightly, but did not dare to relax and observed her surroundings vigilantly.

Only after he was sure it had left did he loosen his grip on the walkie-talkie, and urgent voices continued to come out of the microphone.

"Inspector Uesugi, I have informed the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology of the situation. A specialist will arrive soon to handle it. Please report its current situation. Please report its current situation. Please reply if you receive it!"

Uesugi Kouka looked towards the fire scene, the blue flames reflected in her clear eyes, and she was silent for a second.

"It's gone."
