I became the emperor in the comic book series.

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and said, "Besides, Shoko and I are friends, and I already feel bad for her by doing this. Maybe this will make Shoko feel a little involved."

What nonsense are you talking about?

Higashino Akira was speechless. "Why not just wash and dry the clothes? It won't take long. And why wear such tightly wrapped clothes to do that kind of thing?"

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't dare to say anything more to him, lest she make more mistakes if she said more, so she simply got up and went over to hug him.

"Never mind all that, let's get started."

Seeing her close her eyes and say those words in a slightly trembling voice, Higashino Akira raised an eyebrow, picked her up and carried her to the bedside. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, laid her down on the bed, and began to remove her armor.

However, the action was stopped after only a short while.

Not wearing anything?

Nagasaki Motoyo opened her eyes, finally feeling a sense of relief in her chest, which had been constricted so tightly. She asked provocatively, "How about it? Am I bigger than Shoko?"

Higashino Akira didn't say anything, but lifted her skirt and gently patted her to make her turn around.

Galloping on horseback.

At first, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned and tried to keep quiet, but later she gradually got into the swing of things, occasionally humming a little, and then she started to steer the conversation toward Toyokawa Shoko in various ways.

Higashino Akira remained silent, only accelerating. Every time she mentioned Shoko, he would accelerate again, and the impact made Nagasaki Motoyo's shouts grow louder and louder.

Even so, she kept talking, panting heavily, trying to provoke Higashino Akira into saying something derogatory about Shoko.

In a corner of the room, Nagasaki Motoyo's cell phone, which she had secretly placed there beforehand, was quietly recording everything.

Toyokawa Shoko was completely stunned!

She really couldn't understand why Su Shi would keep bringing her up after doing such a thing. Did that make Su Shi feel happier?

And so what if it's big?

Why do you have to compete with her?

In an instant, she, who was clearly a human, turned into a cat, while the two creatures on the bed seemed to be dogs that had turned into humans!

How could my former bandmate be so mean!

He was even wearing her clothes!

As night deepened, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had become an overnight sensation, fell into a deep sleep, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, vaguely calling out Xiangzi's name in her dreams.

Toyokawa Shoko crawled under the covers from behind, wrinkling her little nose in disdain. Looking at Su Shi's expression, she finally sighed, and her initial displeasure dissipated.

She took out her phone, pointed the screen at the bad guy, and pointed to the content on it.

In the end, I still had to ask him for help.

One mistake from Su Shi is enough. Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want this to happen again because of her. She must become a real human again as soon as possible!

Higashino Akira handed over the phone to Shoko, which had the address of a zoo on it. Shoko speculated that the reason for her change might be related to that zoo, because for a long time before she became a kitten, the only part-time job she had was related to animals, and she couldn't contact the other part-time workers at the same time.

After writing down the information, Akira Higashino returned the phone.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Su Shi, still asleep, sensed a familiar scent and instinctively reached out to embrace it, letting out a soft whisper in her sleep.

Shoko Toyokawa, who was being hugged, froze and dared not move for fear of waking Su Shi. She could only look at the bad guy for help.

Upon seeing this, Akira Higashino's lips curled up slightly. Instead of helping, he smiled maliciously.

The next morning, Nagasaki Sosei, with tear stains still on her face, slowly woke up from her dream. Holding the little blue cat in her arms, she looked at the man beside her, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but repent to Shoko in her heart.

Please forgive me, Xiao Xiang, this is the last time.

Having taken the photos last night, I'll edit them and add some mosaic when I get back. Then I'll ask Xiao Mu to give the photos to Xiao Xiang. I know Xiao Xiang will be heartbroken and won't be able to accept it when he sees them.

Then I'll step in and comfort her, letting Xiao Xiang know that romantic relationships are unreliable, and only the bonds between band members are truly strong. Xiao Xiang will then be willing to come back to the band.

The only drawback of this plan is that she has also gotten leverage over this man. He is a soon-to-be graduate from a prestigious university and has inherited a famous shrine in his hometown. His future is bright, and he will never lack women who want to be with a man of his caliber. He certainly doesn't want others to know about this scandal and want to fight her to the death.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately remembered to go home and start preparing.

However, as soon as she got up, she frowned and sat on the bed for a long time without moving. It took her a while to adjust to the unusual feeling that was so different from usual.

Then, keeping quiet, he moved slowly to the bedside, got dressed, and casually stuffed Xiao Xiang's panties into his pocket.

This is just to preserve more evidence in case Xiaoxiang doesn't believe it!

Nagasaki Motoyo told herself this, and then took back her phone, which she had set aside the night before to take photos, and which was now out of battery.

Completely unaware, behind her.

The person and the cat opened their eyes and quietly watched her every move.

When he saw Xiangzi's panties being secretly taken away, Higashino Akira turned his head and glanced at Xiangzi.

When Xiangzi saw Su Shi take out a camera from the corner and point it at the bed, he glanced back at Dongye Ming with a sullen, cat-like face.

In response, Akira Higashino shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

And Xiangzi…she cares a lot!

"what!"

The kitten hissed, and the sudden sound startled Nagasaki Motoyo, who had her back to the two of them. She turned around stiffly and didn't know what to say for a long time.

In response, Higashino Akira could only silently shake his head at her.

That's such a loser.

Despite their relationship, instead of trying to meet Xiangzi in person, he secretly stole Xiangzi's panties.

What a mess Xiangzi has made of this perfectly good girl!

"Won't you sleep a little longer?"

Nagasaki Motoyo quickly shook her head and lied, "I didn't come back last night, I have to go back early today."

"Do you need me to take you?"

"No need, no need."

"Never mind, I'll take you." Seeing that she had difficulty moving around, Higashino Akira got up and sat up from the bed. The blanket slipped off, revealing his well-defined and muscular physique.

Across from him, Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously swallowed, took a step back, embarrassed to look any longer, and felt a strange sense of guilt towards Xiangzi welling up inside her.

Chapter 47 The Evil Pokémon Master

In the evening, Higashino Akira left Shoko with Miko to look after her, while he went alone to the haunted house he had previously purchased.

By using his ability to form connections, he can observe the depth of other beings' relationships with him and reveal them to them. In a sense, Akira Higashino can be considered to possess a unique kind of yin-yang eye.

After all, a bright number -43 was circling around me in the empty room, going up and down, and over time it had grown to -75, so it was hard not to see it.

Unfortunately, Higashino Akira had already done his research beforehand. Although this thing was fierce and full of malice, its main ability was possession. Its physical damage was not even as good as the evil spirit that Higashino Akira killed with three punches at the beginning. It had a spirit body, so he was least afraid of encountering abilities such as possession and curses.

So Higashino Akira didn't rush to deliver a powerful punch; instead, he poured himself a cup of tea and waited silently for the fish to bite.

This morning, he posted about buying the house and photos of the interior on social media, setting it to be visible only to a select few.

After several failed attempts to possess the intruder and being burned red all over, the evil spirit could only stare at the intruder from afar, its malevolence growing stronger.

Dusk, the time when demons appear.

A loud bang came from the direction of the door!

The door lock was smashed open, and a small figure nimbly leaped in, her eyes quickly scanning the room, searching for the evil spirit. When she saw the figure sitting on the living room sofa, a cup of hot tea on the low table in front of her, the mist rising from the teacups, and a book in her hands, the person stopped abruptly and grabbed the doll in her arms tightly.

"God...my lord!"

Bao Yue felt a huge wave of emotions surge in her heart. When she saw this person a while ago, and in that video, he was just a slightly special human being.

How could someone suddenly become a god in such a short time!

Even if you don't feel his outward power, you can't be wrong. It's a feeling that only a true god would have, completely different from the status and existence of ordinary evil spirits!

Akira Higashino looked up and met her gaze.

"Tell me your purpose for breaking into my house, and then introduce yourself."

The quiet little girl's eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this, but she calmly spoke, "Baoyue Night Snack, a primary school student, unmarried this year, and doesn't want to get married for the time being. She has a beautiful older sister who is also unmarried and studying in university. If Your Majesty wishes to have a wife, you might consider Yongzi..."

"Eeeeeee!!!" A surprised voice rang out from outside the door, "What a stunning beauty! That's too much of an exaggeration. Besides, I still want to find love freely!"

Baoyue Yongzi walked in from outside with an embarrassed look on her face. She had a Bluetooth earphone on her ear, which meant that there must have been a continuous call or other monitoring device on Baoyue Yexiao so that she could quickly find out what was going on.

When Baoyue Yongzi came to Xiaoyexiao's side, she quickly grabbed the head of the little rascal who had decisively tried to sell his sister when he saw that things were not going well. The two of them bowed and apologized together.

"I'm so sorry, senior. We saw the photos you posted on social media before. This girl, Xiao Yexiao, has the ability to see spirits and discovered that there was an evil spirit living in the house in the photos. We were worried that something might happen to you, so we asked me to bring her here to save you."

"Don't worry, I won't force any woman to be my wife. After all, this is a society governed by law, and not just anyone is qualified to be my wife."

Higashino waved to the two of them, made a phone call to schedule a locksmith to come and fix the lock. After finishing, he put down his phone and looked at the rag doll that the little purple-haired girl was holding in her arms.

“There’s an evil spirit locked up inside.”

"Yes, I taught myself the techniques of transformation online, locking the captured evil spirits inside dolls, and transferring the harm I suffer from other evil spirits onto them."

Online!

Self-taught?

What a joke! She's even a self-taught practitioner, yet she's so amazing. What is Makoto Higa, who comes from a family of psychic masters, compared to her?

Why actively capture them?

"Because my mother's soul was taken away by a powerful evil spirit, I don't have the power to defeat it. The only way I can win back my mother's soul is to capture more evil spirits and raise children strong enough to help me fight against it!"

"Evil spirits are everywhere, more numerous than roadside weeds. Why not just catch them?"

“Those spirits are too poor in quality; they can’t even break through the constraints to interfere with reality and hurt people. Most of them will dissipate on their own if left unattended for a long time, with no room for growth.”

Both have the ability to see spirits, but some elementary school students become Pokémon masters, commenting on evil Pokémon, while some high school students are terrified by wandering spirits.

For a moment, Akira Higashino didn't know whether to say that seeing the girl was too normal or that this little loli was too supermodel-like.

Soon, Jun Luan, a part-time locksmith, arrived with his repair tools. Higashino Akira prepared some snacks and refreshments to entertain the two sisters, and over the snacks, he slowly learned about their past experiences and achievements.

Upon hearing that Bao Yue had actually cultivated several exceptionally powerful evil spirits, whom she called "graduates," he was intrigued and inquired about the specific abilities of those graduates, and whether they were for sale.

There are qualification requirements for bestowing titles upon deities; only the stronger the spirit, the greater the value it can provide after being bestowed a title.

In Bao Yue's eyes, Higashino Akira was already a god, and the real god at that, not one of those clones attached to statues in various places. Although he was currently friendly, she still couldn't refuse his request and could only reluctantly agree that she would sell him any suitable graduates she trained in the future.

As a return gift, Higashino Akira asked the little girl to capture the evil spirit in the house. He also gave her a list of haunted house addresses under his name and a phone number, telling her to capture the evil spirit herself if she wanted it, and that someone would deliver the key to her by calling the number.

Although Akira Higashino later stopped buying haunted houses for a period of time, the truly low-priced, genuinely haunted houses were still a minority. Moreover, there were always stubborn people who bought them. Some people who bought them couldn't return them and had no way to move out would try to seek help from psychics, thus indirectly controlling the overall number of haunted houses.

It's hard to say about some of the haunted places that are already occupied, but he bought up about a third of the haunted houses in the Tokyo area that were actually inhabited by evil spirits.

It wasn't that Akira Higashino was good at snowballing; the main reason was that the land area of ​​properties here is usually not very large, and he didn't care about high-rise buildings without land ownership.

The few hundred million that remains in the group's account is actually surplus.

On the one hand, these types of houses are indeed cheap, and they are a liability for owners and real estate companies who have to pay taxes every year and can't wait to get rid of them as soon as possible. On the other hand, rice prices in Japan are really expensive. Even after the New Year, rice prices have not only not dropped, but have actually gone up again.

The key is that it's not only expensive, but also scarce, and you might not even be able to buy it.

Under Kongming's plan, the fishermen in Hokkaido stopped fishing and started smuggling rice to earn extra money.

Fishing only earns a few coins, and a single trip at sea can take an unknown amount of time to return. It's risky, and the earnings are unstable. Going out to sea to transport rice is too conspicuous, as the boats are full of rice, and even the monitoring departments are staffed by their people or relatives who can be traced through various channels.

Everyone shared the profits, and the islanders were able to buy rice, making everyone happy.

If anyone is unhappy and wants to come down and investigate, they can talk to the bears in the mountains who eat Japanese bear heads. It just so happens that brown bears have been rampant in Hokkaido recently.

Chapter Forty-Eight: A Way to Die

After saying goodbye to Baoyue Yongzi and the Baoyue Night Snack Sisters, Dongye Ming called Kongming to arrange for someone to clean up the house and rent it out to make some money, every little bit helps, and also to wash away the reputation of the haunted house and increase its value.

Having arranged everything, Akira Higashino did not intend to stay there any longer.

Earlier at noon, Jianzi called him to say that a package had been delivered to his home. Then, Higashino Akira felt a knot on his body, which had been there the longest and was on the verge of breaking, tremble violently.

Akira Higashino has never publicly used the address of the house where Miko currently lives, so it's impossible for someone to send him something to that address.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Miko after she received the package. Although the connection indicated by her affinity ability was a positive one, Higashino Akira told her not to open it yet and to wait until he returned.

At night, Akira Higashino returned home, opened the door and went inside, where he saw Miko sitting cross-legged on the sofa, waiting for him for a long time.

Upon seeing each other, they both fell silent for a moment.

"Ni-chan, can you close your eyes and stand still for a while?"
