I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 194: Kill Him, and Put an End to It

The sword light cut down vertically, and Fei Yi was about to flap his wings, but he felt the threat coming from behind, and his feathers almost stood up.

Continue flying?
Fei Yi's mind raced, but he immediately rejected the idea. The space here was not big, and he might be hit before he took off.

If it was an ordinary demon hunter's knife, it might not even be able to cut through her feathers. Maybe she could force herself to take off, but the sharp aura behind her made her spine shiver before it could cut her down.

So she immediately folded her wings and pushed the two people under her claws in the opposite direction to prevent them from being cut by the knife, while she fell to the other side.

However, even though she dodged, it was too late.

Dong Ye Yu grasped the timing very well. She caught the moment when the two were gathering strength to take off. Even if she changed her movements at this time, there was still a moment of delay.

Her evasive action merely changed the location of the attack, from the middle of the wing to the base of the wing.

"Sayuri!!"

The two men, one big and one small, struggled and rushed towards Dong Ye Yu.

Takigawa Tadahiro saw the young man leaping up and slashing like thunder in silence and the giant crow dodging in vain, and he couldn't help but applaud, "Excellent swordsmanship!"

I've said it many times, my name is Fei Yi, not Sayuri.

Fei Yi muttered in his heart, is he going to die before he turns into a swallow?
She didn't feel any sadness, just regret and frustration. She had practiced in the mountains for many years but couldn't turn into a swallow. She wanted to try her luck in the mortal world, but she didn't expect to die here.

Humans are indeed dangerous and barbaric, my mother is right.

She looked back and time seemed to have stopped. She could not hear any sound and it seemed like a dream.

The light tubes used for lighting in the convenience store were shattered by the strong wind, leaving only a few broken ones flickering with white light. The goods were scattered all over the ground. A man stepped on the overturned shelves, holding high a shining sword, and slashed with an impeccable posture.

In the alternation of light and darkness, the man's face seemed a little blurry, but he looked somewhat familiar. Although he was clearly committing a murder, his expression did not show any hostility, but was calm and focused.

Is it the man from yesterday? Fei Yi recognized her.

why?
She felt confused. She had only stolen some things and had not stolen anything from the man. Why did he come to kill her?

Clang!
The buzzing sound of metal collision shattered the almost stagnant time, but the scene of blood splattering did not happen - the sword was about to hit the giant crow's wings, but in the next moment, sparks flew in the void, and something blocked it for her.

All of his senses seemed to be celebrating this moment of escape from death, and they all started to work in overload. The world had never been so vivid, the air had never been so fresh, and the colors had never been so gorgeous. Fei Yi blinked, and his body had already reacted.

Are there any experts?

Dong Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and was alert in his heart. At the same time, taking advantage of the falling momentum, he changed the angle of the knife and made a diagonal cut similar to the cassock cut.

But the giant crow had already reacted and pounced forward.

chap!
A clean and neat sound was heard, and although the giant crow avoided the fatal blow, its beautiful tail feathers that were black with a dark gold glow were all cut off.

But this pounce landed him in a blind spot in the wall of the convenience store. Dong Yeyu was holding a knife and blocking the way out of the convenience store. "Give up, I won't kill you."

In fact, I had not intended to kill the monster with one blow. I was just planning to chop off its wings with a knife so that it could not escape. As for what to do next, that would depend on the results of the subsequent interrogation.

It's not that Dongye Yuyi's skills allow him to kill innocent people indiscriminately. This monster has injured Xiuji several times and threatened to kick him out of the rental apartment and make him pay. He is so arrogant and domineering that he doesn't seem like a good monster at all.

Monsters are scarier than criminals. Who knows if these monsters have any hidden skills? By the time you investigate and confirm that it is a bad monster and take action, I'm afraid that the hidden skills will show up on your face.

How to solve this problem?
The police in the United States would give the most efficient answer - shoot first, then interrogate.

As for its little girl appearance, ordinary humans might not have the heart to see it, but Dong Ye Yu, who is familiar with monsters, will not be fooled by her illusory appearance.

What the monsters want to transform into depends on which people they have carefully observed. This is an illusion, not that the monsters really turn into humans.

If I had a talent like clairvoyance, what I saw just now was probably a giant crow shopping with two men, one big and one small.

Rather than the harmonious scene of a little girl shopping in a supermarket with her father and brother.

Only when one changes into a human form can one truly become a human being. For example, Yuanjun was transformed from a dragon into a human being.

However, transformation is an ability that only monsters in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void possess. This kind of monster completely sheds its original characteristics and appearance, and is no different from humans. It enjoys two major buffs: the monster's super-long blue bar and the human's rapid cultivation. As long as the five qi return to the origin, it can be called a monster fairy. Its strength is so powerful that it is incomparable to ordinary fairies.

Fei Yi stood in the corner, his eyes fixed on the katana that was covered with a hazy glow. The golden pupil in the bird's black pearl-like eyes shrank slightly, and the feathers on its body exploded, turning it into a round, fluffy crow.

At the same time, the members of the Special Incident Response Unit, who had just been knocked unconscious by the evil wind, had already climbed up from the ground and surrounded them.

One of the officers received an order from Takigawa Tadahiro and raised his net gun and aimed at the giant crow.

Bang!
A large net was spread out in the smoke, completely covering the giant crow inside. The thin and long net ropes seemed to be specially made and looked quite strong.

After being caught in the net, she did not struggle, but just looked at Dong Yeyu and asked, "Why?"

Being asked why in a little girl's voice by a crow with a wingspan of several meters, larger than that of a bald eagle, was honestly quite strange.

Dong Yeyu silently chanted a spell while making hand gestures, and replied: "I am the resident on the third floor of that apartment. You repeatedly injured my shikigami and threatened to drive me away or come to my house to cause trouble. Have you forgotten about it after you went on such rampage, you monster?"

Fei Yi was stunned for a second, then became furious: "Are you the owner of that damn pigeon monster?!"

No wonder that dead pigeon has such a mean mouth and behaves like a villain. His master is such a rat who is used to sneak attacks, so how could his subordinates be any better?

"I can't spare you!"

The giant crow struggled, and with two sweeps of its iron-like wings it cut several large holes in the net rope covering its body. The strong wind it created blew it all over the place.

The students held onto the shelves beside them to steady themselves, holding white talismans in their hands, their faces pale.

The power of this monster was far beyond their expectations. They originally thought it was just a small monster that they were trying to improve their performance, but they didn't expect it to be such a big monster.

The trap she had prepared earlier was broken by her in the blink of an eye. What use were these talismans at this time?

They all turned their eyes to the tall young man with a distinguished appearance standing in the front.

He made a seal with his hands and whispered: "Bind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several golden chains projected from the floor, walls, and ceiling, completely tying her up. After she struggled for a few times and couldn't move, people finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This demon is really powerful. Fortunately, you have a high level of cultivation and excellent magic—"

Takigawa Tadahiro frowned and sighed, walked forward, looked up, and was shocked to find that the man was so young, no different from his high school son.

Although he is tall, his face still has visible childishness and bookishness, and he looks like a student who has never entered society.

The age must not exceed 20 years old.

But I didn't look down on him because of this.

Although this monster looks stupid and doesn't seem to have learned any unorthodox magic after all these years of practice, its numbers alone can crush ordinary demon hunters.

You have to know that I led nearly ten people to set traps but still couldn't suppress it.

One person was able to deal with a big monster so easily. Putting his age aside, this strength alone is enough to make him a backbone force in the world of monster hunters, not to mention the Ministry of Religion and Literature, which is short of talent.

Such a talent must be made friends with. If I can get him into the Ministry of Religion and Literature and let him work in my Special Event Response Division for a period of time, even if he is promoted to the position of minister in the future, I will have the grace of my old boss for the promotion, and my life in the future will be much more comfortable.

Maybe the next generation will be able to go further with this love.

In recent years, demon disasters have occurred more and more frequently in Tokyo, and there have been many vicious incidents that have far-reaching impacts on social security. Even if he is unwilling to join the Ministry of Religion, Letters, and Science, he can get to know a highly skilled demon hunter who can be used to help him when he encounters any difficulties in the future demon-hunting operations. It will be a hundred benefits with no harm.

Takigawa Tadahiro was thinking a little too far ahead for a moment, with a serious expression. He took out a business card from his pocket and presented it with both hands.

"A hero is born young. I am Takigawa Tadahiro, the deputy director of the Special Incident Response Division of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. May I know your name?"

Dong Ye Yu glanced at the crow monster that was glaring at him, returned the greeting, took the business card, and replied with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Vice Minister Takigawa, my name is Dong Ye Yu. I just happened to pass by, and seeing that this monster was rampant, I came to lend a hand."

In the future, I will have to go to the Ministry of Religious Arts to take the exam for an exorcist qualification certificate, so it is necessary to establish good relationships with these officials.

"It's more than just a helping hand. Dongye-kun is too modest. If it weren't for Dongye-kun, I and my subordinates would probably have been eaten by birds tonight."

Takigawa Tadahiro was not greedy for credit and pushed most of the credit to Higashino Yu. But in fact, his superiors were too lazy to investigate who solved the problem. As long as the problem was solved smoothly, he would get the credit and everyone would be happy.

As he spoke, a smile broke out on Takigawa Tadahiro's serious face and he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"It was thanks to Dongye-kun that we were able to subdue the monster so easily this time. I will report this matter when I get back. How about Dongye-kun leaving your contact information later? Then there may be some bonuses and certificates of reward issued."

Is there a bonus?
Higashino Yu grasped the key point. Although the labor fees he had received for helping the Ministry of Religion and Humanities were exclusive to black slaves, what if the fees were higher this time?

"How much?" he asked.

"Well, it depends on how much money the higher-ups are willing to allocate."

Takigawa Tadahiro's face turned red. Although the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology had a high status, spiritual practice was resource-intensive, so funding was quite tight.

Higashino Yu understood when he heard this. It was probably not much, but every little bit counts, so he exchanged phone numbers and email addresses with Takigawa Tadahiro.

Seeing that this young man was not the kind of arrogant person who was successful at a young age, and having obtained his contact information, Takigawa Tadahiro was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Would you like to trouble Higashino-kun to help us transport this monster back? After we deal with it, shall we have a drink together?"

Dong Yeyu declined, "Deputy Minister Takigawa, I am not yet an adult and cannot drink."

Takigawa Tadahiro did not force it, but just smiled and nodded, calling his men, and a group of people walked towards the crow.

At this moment, the lame middle-aged man came with a crutch and opened his arms, standing between Dong Yeyu and Crow.

"What's wrong?" Takigawa Tadahiro was a little confused.

Furukawa Osamu has been a rat in the gutter all his life and has never seen the light of day. Now facing this group of suspected government officials, his forehead is covered in sweat, his whole body is trembling, and his voice is a little distorted and dry.

"Don't hurt her. It's all my fault. I ordered it. It has nothing to do with Sayuri."

Fei Yi didn't correct him this time. He was just afraid that these demon hunters would attack him, so he shouted to drive him away: "Go away, or I'll eat you!"

The little boy who was traveling with him was so frightened that he stood stupidly in the aisle of the convenience store, staring at the crow monster tied up by the magic chain in silence.

"Sir, you have been deceived by a monster. It is not a little girl, but just a big crow."

Takigawa Tadahiro tried to persuade her, but the middle-aged man refused to listen. He just wiped his sweat and begged for mercy for her anxiously, looking helpless.

"Sayuri has done nothing wrong. My family is in financial difficulty, and I asked her to help us, so she came with us. She just stole some things. Please put me in jail! Let her go! She is a good kid, she is very kind, she——"

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Seeing this, Takigawa Tadahiro comforted the middle-aged man and looked at his specialists: "Take him away and give him a pill to calm the nerves and exorcise evil spirits."

"Sayuri! Spare her, I beg you! Shouta, save your sister, quickly!"

Furukawa Osamu was dragged away from the convenience store, struggling and shouting at the top of his lungs.

The little boy stood in the convenience store with his head down as if he had hysteria.

Dong Yeyu listened to this and looked thoughtful.

"These mortals have been bewitched by the monsters and are still helping to beg for mercy. How ridiculous and lamentable."

As Takigawa Tadahiro spoke, his eyes fell on the knife in Higashino Yu's hand, and he exclaimed softly, "Could it be that Higashino-kun is the next generation of the Inari Shrine's Iori family's chief priest?"

Dong Ye Yu followed his gaze and saw the Sumime Ichimonji Nagamitsu in his hand, and smiled: "Vice Minister Takigawa has misunderstood. My elder is a close friend of Grandpa Iori. He saw me exorcising demons with my bare hands and was worried that I might be in danger, so he gave me the sword."

"Is that so?" Takigawa Tadahiro nodded thoughtfully.

After saying that, Dong Yeyu looked at the crow monster that was locked by the magic chain and asked: "How does Vice Minister Takigawa plan to deal with this monster?"

"This monster is a habitual thief. She has visited all the convenience stores, cake shops, department stores, and even fishing tackle stores in Ayasezaka. We haven't found out whether she has killed anyone or committed other crimes."

Takigawa Tadahiro smiled when he said this: "But even if it has never killed anyone, it will probably die. Monsters are a disaster for the world. If it doesn't kill someone today, it will kill someone tomorrow sooner or later. In order to prevent trouble before it happens, it's better to kill them all and put an end to it all."
