The Japanese version of Xu Xian is nothing compared to this; he was a real, venomous snake.

Ryosuke Yamamoto's expression suddenly became somewhat agitated. His hands were bound by specially made handcuffs, and his body was also tied to the chair with restraints, so he could only glare angrily at Yuichi Kudo.

"I told you! She slept with me!"

Seeing that Yamamoto Ryosuke was so agitated, Kudo Yu pressed down with one hand to temporarily calm him down.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have interrupted. Please continue."

Ryosuke Yamamoto gritted his teeth and slammed his fist heavily on the table.

"That woman came to us of her own accord, through a middleman, the kind of middleman who connects gangsters and the police. There are a lot of these kinds of people in Tokyo."

"Because this broker has some connection with our family, he knows my father and can be considered half a family member, so I didn't suspect anything."

"That woman said she wanted to establish a sect in Arakawa with government permission, and she made it sound very respectable—I've seen this kind of thing many times before, it's all about swindling money and sex, nothing more."

"It doesn't matter. As long as they pay, I can protect them. Hey, Kudo, your family is a powerful force in the police force. This kind of thing is probably commonplace for you."

"That woman gave me a sum of money that wasn't much, but it wasn't worthless either. It was a bit too little for me, and I was planning to send her away. I didn't want to take any risks for such a small amount of money."

"As a result, she said she could keep me entertained."

"Hey, what kind of fun can a man and a woman have?"

"That woman has an incredibly alluring figure and is also quite attractive. With a woman like that throwing herself at me, I'm not a eunuch, how could I possibly turn her away?"

"We had a good time for several days. To be honest, I was a little obsessed with her. That woman's skills in bed were really irresistible. Her long legs were like snakes, making it hard for me to breathe."

"I even considered finding a place to support her, but she refused. After I provided her with some assistance, she left."

Seeing that Yamamoto Ryosuke's gaze had become somewhat intoxicated, Uesugi Kiyoshi and Kudo Yuichi exchanged a helpless glance.

"That's enough. We're not here to listen to pornographic stories. Don't go on. The following late-night programs won't be able to air anything with that level of explicit content."

Kudo Yuichi reluctantly interrupted Yamamoto Ryosuke to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Ryosuke Yamamoto smiled silently again, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"Didn't you want to know why I became like this?"

“I’ve confessed everything—my most outrageous and abnormal behavior recently was that I slept with that woman for a few days. Other than that, I haven’t done anything suspicious.”

"Didn't you say that woman's sect was suspicious?"

"I've become like this because of her!"

"I know your Collectors' Association is very good at this kind of thing. Am I hopeless?"

"."

"Ho ho."

Ryosuke Yamamoto was grinding his back teeth and was still smiling, though his smile was somewhat eerie and ferocious.

"Kudo! Kill her for me! Kill her!"

"It's all because of her! It's all because of her!"

Ryosuke Yamamoto has become somewhat deranged, and it's unclear whether this is a side effect of turning into a monster.

Kudo Yuichi frowned slightly in disdain and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

“I had someone test Yamamoto’s blood sample, and the results showed that his genetic structure is now more like a snake than a human.”

"He only met that woman a few days ago, and this is how things turned out. In a sense, that woman's method of catalyzing the ritual practitioners is more powerful than that of the Demon King of Mount Ooe."

"As for why he is still conscious, it is probably because he belongs to the rites of the Outer Gods."

"The so-called Outer Gods are invaders of this world. The rules of this world do not apply to them, and no common sense can be applied to them. Perhaps they have the means to do so, but the principle behind it cannot be analyzed yet."

"What do you think?"

“I don’t think sexual transmission is the way that woman catalyzes the ritualist. That’s too troublesome. Physical offerings are too inefficient and too perverse.”

"Tsk, I was just monitoring him with my abilities, and he wasn't lying."

Kudo Yuichi's ability is "to discern people's hearts," which makes him incredibly adept at interrogation, and there's nothing that can be hidden from him.

"So you're saying there's absolutely no useful information left?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked this question with a frown, which was met with a helpless shrug from Kudo Yuichi.

"I'm not omnipotent either, Qing, this is all we can do."

"Young Master Yamamoto, you really are useless. It's obvious that woman has been plotting against you for a long time, and you probably thought you had gotten the better deal the whole time, didn't you?"

"How pathetic."

Ryosuke Yamamoto didn't react to Yuichi Kudo's sarcastic remarks, only muttering, "How could this be... these things are useless to you?"

"No! No! You must help me kill her!"

"Let me think about it!"

"."

After a moment of silence, Yamamoto Ryosuke struggled and nearly overturned the table.

"That's right! I remember now!"

"Every time I slept with her, I felt like I'd been bitten by a snake, but when I woke up there were no wounds on my body, so I always thought it was just my imagination."

"This"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression change drastically.

Kudo Yuichi is similar.

The two men, their faces grave, exchanged a glance, and Uesugi Kiyoshi spoke first.

"Bite by a snake?"

"Yuichi, where is Ueno-senpai now?"

Kudo Yuichi also frowned and paced nervously as he got up.

“He went home, and his old flame is taking care of him, so I felt relieved and let them go.”

"Using snake venom to spread the power of ghosts and gods? That's a cheap and highly feasible method!"

"Hey, Qing"

Uesugi Seiichi waved his hand and turned to leave.

"I understand. I'll go to Ueno-senpai's house to check first—better safe than sorry, this is a matter of life and death!"

"Little Rabbit is still living with Ueno-senpai!"

Kudo Yuichi naturally wouldn't stop Uesugi Kiyoshi. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a bunch of keys, and tossed them directly to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

“Your car is too slow. Here’s my parking spot in the underground garage. I just modified my Kawasaki Ninja. You can ride that one.”

"I'll immediately assemble the containment team and medical unit. You go first!"

"Be careful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Uesugi Kiyoshi's figure had already disappeared from Kudo Yuichi's sight.

Chapter 203 Old Tales of Arakawa

It's almost lunchtime now, and people are having their meals at the Narumi residence as well.

However, the lunch for the siblings Narumi Shingo and Narumi Nobuna was rather meager. They had bought discounted bento boxes from a convenience store the night before, put them in the refrigerator, and then heated them up again at noon.

This kind of food has nothing to do with being delicious anymore; at best, it only serves to fill your stomach.

Narumi Shingo's salary as a kendo instructor wasn't actually that low, but he and his sister didn't care much about the quality of their food.

"Hey, shorty, Haihu Maru has been gone for a whole day and night, how's it going?"

Narumi Shingo ate a bento in less than two minutes, which was very efficient, so he had time to ask questions.

On the other side of the table, the little girl Narumi Shina was picking at a bowl of oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) in front of her—a common dish in Japan.

After hearing her brother's words, she wrinkled her little nose and slowly closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and shook her head.

"That woman went into the Sea of ​​Japan and was wandering around aimlessly. To avoid being discovered by her, Kaikoromaru could only follow her from a distance."

"Kaihu Maru discovered several small objects that seem to be controlled by someone, and we weren't the only ones dragging that woman down."

Narumi Shingo nodded slightly, his brows furrowed.

"How can mere followers of Outer Gods travel freely in the sea? Have all the sea monsters died out?"

"Hmph, back then, that woman wouldn't even have been able to get off the coast before being torn to shreds by the patrolling sea monsters."

Narumi Shingo gently stroked the golden katana beside him, a deep look flashing across his eyes.

"The siren has fallen silent; could it be that you are dead?"

"Please don't! You invaded my river basin, destroyed my body, and slaughtered my people. I want to avenge this grudge with my own hands!"

Narumi Nobuna didn't hear his low murmur. Her hand holding the spoon froze. She looked at her brother's murderous expression, her face full of curiosity.

"Hey big oaf! What's wrong? Did you remember something?"

"Quick! Tell me about it!"

Narumi Shingo frowned and waved his hand.

"It's alright. Those 'little things' you mentioned were probably sent by Uesugi's men. They are the 'Collectors Association,' an organization of superhumans. Senior Ueno should work in that association, so they're not enemies."

"Ignore them, keep an eye on that woman."

"I'd like to see what you're up to by stealing my divine name!"

Narumi Shingo's uniqueness seems to need no further explanation.

He is the reincarnation of Arakawa no Nushi, a powerful deity from the Heian period.

For some reason, he had very little of his divine power left, but he retained most of his memories. This was unfortunate, but also a kind of luck.

His sister was no ordinary person either. In her previous life, she was also a yokai from the Arakawa River. Although her strength was not as amazing as that of the Lord of the Arakawa River, she was by no means a cannon fodder little demon—she was the Goldfish Princess of the Arakawa River.
