I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 66 (Come in and talk about something) The wishes of a mortal
Higashino Yu squatted there with mixed emotions, watching the fox fire on the Nekomata's body gradually go out.

Then he started running back - his clothes were still at the Kosuge vegetable market.

He quickly returned to the Kosuge Vegetable Market, changed back into human form, and put on the clothes that were neatly folded in the corner of the side door of the entrance.

He looked back at the fire in the corridor which was gradually dying out. The raging fire a few minutes ago now only had sporadic flames flickering in the corners.

The surrounding environment seemed to have not been burned by fire. The floor, walls and even the rolling doors of the store were intact, without any change.

Only the dead cats scattered all over the ground and the human corpses with hideous and miserable deaths silently told the story of what had happened here.

This is related to the characteristics of fox fire.

Dong Ye Yu can use two kinds of fox fire. One is blue fox fire, which uses demonic energy and spiritual energy as fuel and can also burn souls.

Once it entangles the opponent, it will be very destructive and will not automatically extinguish unless the evil spirit and spiritual energy are completely burned out.

Most demons and ghosts that are burned will feel excruciating pain, but the actual temperature of the fox fire is not much higher than human body temperature.

Therefore, some exorcists believe that fox fire only burns evil spirits and cannot burn ordinary things, which is not unreasonable.

The other is the orange fox fire, which uses its own spiritual energy as fuel and has a higher temperature than ordinary flames.

But perhaps due to the limitations of his own cultivation, the temperature was not high enough to melt iron and bones.

Moreover, this kind of flame can easily cause a large fire, and most of the enemies faced are monsters, so he rarely uses it.

In terms of practicality, this high-temperature fox fire is far less useful than the previous one.

Dong Ye Yu made a quick check and confirmed that the zombie cats had died again and would not harm innocent people. He had no intention of cleaning up the bodies or clearing up the traces, but instead prepared to leave.

Firstly, there were too many traces to clean up.

Secondly, Inari-sama also said that the demon slayer cannot see through his own transformed form, so what is there to be afraid of?

Monsters fighting, criminals dying suddenly, what does this have to do with me, Shangqing Dongye Yu?
Just as I was about to go back to Sakurada's house, a grateful voice suddenly came from behind me.

"You must be the messenger of the great god Inari! I am Hiratsuka Satoshi. Thank you for killing the evil spirit and saving me from its control. I am so grateful for such a great favor!"

Dong Yeyu looked back and saw a middle-aged man in police uniform, who looked to be in his thirties, bowing to him and thanking him.

It seems that his police rank is two levels higher than that of the average person of the same age. He cannot be compared with the professional group who are promoted to police lieutenants upon joining the army, but he should have entered the police system through the national examination.

If it develops normally, it should be able to achieve something.

Unfortunately, under the evil spirit's disaster, everything became like a dream.

Dong Yeyu had mixed feelings and shook his head slightly: "I am not the messenger of the Inari God, I am just a mountain monster."

"I was asked by the deceased old lady Sakurada to kill the Nekomata this time. It was only a by-product to free you from the Nekomata's control. Your worship is enough. You don't need to remember it too much."

"It may be a convenient act for you, but it is a huge favor to me." Hiratsuka Satoshi bowed again with a grateful look.

"I can't repay you in this life, but if we are destined to meet again in the next life, I will definitely repay you!"

Do you also want to be reborn as a fox and be a repaying fox?

Sorry, I don’t accept the male fox’s return of favor.

Dong Yeyu saw him finish speaking and looked at the other three bodies: "Why can't I see their souls?"

"Just now when you were chasing Nekomata, the three of them were captured by the passing Yonami messenger."

"Then why are you still here?"

Hiratsuka Satoshi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I am ashamed to say that although I am a police officer and almost middle-aged, I have lived for 28 years and have never left Tokyo for too long. I was born, grew up, studied, worked, got married and had children in this city."

Wait, you're twenty-eight?
Higashino Yu looked at the policeman in front of him in surprise. He really looked a little anxious. Hiratsuka Satoshi walked to the side door exit of Kosuge Vegetable Market, and the bright moonlight gently penetrated his translucent body.

He stood there, stretched his head and looked at the city, his expression full of attachment and reluctance.

"I thought I would watch my daughter grow up, see her find her own happiness, and then grow old with my wife by my side."

"But now it seems that such a simple wish has become a luxury."

When Hiratsuka Tomo said this, his voice choked up and he turned around to look at Higashino Yu.

His ordinary-looking face was covered with premature wrinkles, his hair was gray, and his thin cheeks were covered with deep eye bags and dark circles.

He must have worked very hard when he was alive.

The bearded man, approaching middle age, now had tears in his eyes.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. I am about to go on a long journey. Now I just hope to see my wife, children and parents for the last time. Otherwise, I will be worried if I leave like this."

"So I threw away all my dignity in front of the underworld messenger, knelt on the ground and cried and begged, hoping that he would give me a few more days. I didn't expect that he really gave me three days."

He cried and leaned against the exit, then slowly knelt on the ground as if he had no strength left. Then he wiped his eyes with his sleeves and laughed again.

"Doing good things will always bring good rewards, don't you think?"

".Um."

Maybe this policeman did a lot of good things in his life, otherwise the messenger from the underworld would not be so easy to talk to.

Dong Ye Yu nodded, and felt it carefully again, and indeed found that there was a kind of dead silence in the corridor that he had never felt before.

"I'm going home now, please take care of yourself." Hiratsuka Satoshi stood up, bowed again, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Dong Yeyu stopped him, "If you want, I can help you to be liberated."

The policeman in front of him is very polite, grateful (at least verbally), and was most likely a good person when he was alive. As a disciple of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, it is only natural for him to perform a ritual to help him pass away.

Since good people don't get good rewards, at least let me accompany them on their journey to the underworld.

Hiratsuka Satoshi stood there blankly, looking a little confused, not understanding what he meant.

It seems to be popular here to say that salvation is the same as attaining Buddhahood. Dong Yeyu thought of this and explained, "It means that chanting sutras will make you attain Buddhahood."

"Although I am a demon, I practice the righteous way and have the true scriptures with me. If I can personally help you to be liberated, your journey to the underworld should be smoother."

"Come see me in three days if you like."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. As a police officer who died in the line of duty, there should be monks chanting sutras for you to rest in peace."

You can actually chant sutras to convert ghosts into Buddhas? And you still say you are not the messenger of the Inari God?
Hiratsuka Satoshi was overjoyed. Between having a mortal monk chant sutras for the soul to be reborn and having the fairy fox chant sutras for the soul to be reborn in person, did he even need to choose?
Anyone who hesitates for even a second is a fool.

He knelt down quickly and performed great courtesy.

"I will never forget your kindness, Lord God's Messenger. Even on the road to the underworld, I will pray that you will soon become a god."

Something seemed to be happening, probably a good thing.

This feeling was so weak that it was thought to be an illusion, so Dong Yeyu did not take it too seriously and just warned him: "Don't tell anyone about me."

"Go."

Hiratsuka Satoshi bowed again, looking back every few steps as he disappeared into the night.
