I became the emperor in the comic book series.

However, Hanako simply shook her head slightly.

"That's because you're not rich enough!"

"We can't kill all those who create malicious derivative works and damage our integrity by ourselves! We should learn from humanity, take up the weapon of law, and use copyright law to strike hard, using human methods to restrain human beings! Those derivative creators who damage our reputation should not only have their works deleted but also have to pay compensation and apologize! In this way, there will be no profit and the risk will be extremely high. Over time, no one will dare to mess around. Even if one or two do it occasionally, they won't be able to cause us much of an impact!"

Damn, I didn't know it could be done like that!

Sadako was utterly shocked. "Sister! You're the real genius!"

Hanako coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed at the thought of deceiving this naive, tech-savvy girl who rarely left home and knew nothing of the world's dangers.

"Most geniuses are low-key, very low-key..."

The human-faced dog and the slit-mouthed woman beside them were dumbfounded.

No wonder Hanako is a veteran; she's lived longer than them all.

That's incredibly deceptive!

She was clearly forcibly recruited by that man and assigned the task of regularly patrolling the streets, cleaning up the miscellaneous spirits in her territory, and discovering or getting to know any gifted monsters and evil spirits.

In her mouth, it became about guarding territory, which she then used to justify why she needed to make money, and extended the discussion to grand plans for future development!

Have ideals, have plans, and have risk contingency plans!

Even going to work can be described as something incredibly prestigious!

"Will we continue the inspection?"

Sadako became interested and concluded that Hanako and her friends were urban legends destined for greatness.

However, Hanako shook her head. "Next, let's go home."

"what?"

"We don't have much territory in Tokyo. We've already inspected it all today, so we don't need to go any further."

"With so little land available, why not grab a little more?"

"Isn't this robbery?"

Hanako gave Sadako, who was hiding inside her phone, a strange look. "You know there are eight million gods in Japan, big and small. Every territories have owners. If you want to take one over, you have to be able to defeat them first. Our current territory and the house we live in were taken from that newly born god I told you about before."

"Although his strength is average, he has a lot of territory, but most of it is not in the Tokyo area. We have only managed to take this much before. We can't take any more and we can't hold onto it either."

"But now that you're here, once you take over new territory from that guy, the total amount of territory we have will increase again, and we'll be able to earn more money every month."

"Don't worry, things will only get better."

Sadako nodded and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make a big splash then!"

Sadako was very confident in her abilities.

In terms of talent, experience, and ability, none of these new generation urban legends can compare to her!

However, she didn't mind. After all, her sisters were all talented and had sweet words. She loved playing with Hanako and the others.

If even Hanako and her ilk can seize territory, then she'll only seize even more!

Back at the camp, right at the door, as soon as I opened it, the human-faced dog sniffed.

It smells like its owner!

“You’re back.”

In the living room, Miss Mary, who had just returned, watched Hanako and the others walk in one by one as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. "Hmm, Sadako, what brings you here?"

..............................

..............................

P.S.: Over 3,000 words, still 42.5 chapters needed.

Chapter 166 There's no way to win, I don't understand.

"Didn't you invite me to help out before?" Sadako was a little confused by Mary's question. "I came whenever I had free time."

"That's right, Sadako-senpai is here to lend us a hand and join us in doing great things!"

Hanako spoke up immediately, constantly winking at her incompetent teammate Mary, fearing she might rebel again and ruin things.

Seeing the guy's expression, Miss Mary instantly understood the general reason and looked at Hanako with some disdain.

Since being assigned to a government post, there have certainly been advantages and disadvantages. Not only are they subject to others, but their existence is now linked to Akira Higashino. If they die, they can be resurrected by him, but if he dies, everyone is doomed.

In this situation, Hanako definitely doesn't intend to rely on Sadako to defeat that man. On one hand, she probably can't beat him, and on the other hand, even if she could, she wouldn't dare let Sadako win. If things go wrong, she might even have to betray Sadako later.

Then there's only one possibility...

So you also surrendered to Higashino and became an internal traitor!

That's why it's all thanks to the support of its peers.

Previously, Mary had felt somewhat guilty about tricking Hanako and the human-faced dog, especially Hanako, who suffered a much greater loss than the human-faced dog.

But she was forced into it and had no other choice but to do it.

As a result, no one forced Hanako to betray them, and she just did it on her own!

As expected of an urban legend, none of them are good people.

Suddenly I didn't feel so bad for her anymore.

Mary glanced at Sadako with sympathy, sighed inwardly, and didn't offer any advice, but simply said...

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Upon hearing this, Sadako confidently clenched her fist, "Leave it to me!"

Little Mary, petite and delicate, lay softly on her side on the sofa, facing the television, with a remote control in front of her. Upon hearing this, she silently turned her gaze back towards the television.

Sadako?

The bones in the tomb are gone.

The ominous star is flashing brightly overhead, yet they remain oblivious.

You can't persuade them otherwise. As soon as you open your mouth, you'll end up pleasing no one and offending people on all three sides. These days, it's not easy for self-employed people to make a living either. Getting a government job isn't actually a bad thing.

Sniff...sniff...

A pair of blue, fluffy, pointed ears suddenly appeared in front of her stomach, followed by the sound of her breathing through her nose, and an itchy sensation spread from her lower abdomen.

Unable to bear it any longer, little Mary blushed and shoved the human-faced dog's head away, giving her a shy glare.

What are you doing?!

"Mary has a strong scent of her owner."

"Idiot! I just had a fight with him, of course I'll smell a bit, what's so strange about that!"

"like…"

"Then go find him yourself! Why are you smelling me!"

“My master’s whereabouts are unpredictable, and unlike you, I can’t go to my master’s side at any time.”

"Stupid dog!"

As an urban legend with a loyal dog personality, the human-faced dog doesn't actually dislike its new owner, especially since the owner provides it with a house, a sufficient salary, and space to play (for patrol work).

The only regret is that her owner doesn't live with her, so she can't be close to him every day.

The human-faced dog was feeling depressed.

"Master?" Sadako asked at the opportune moment.

"That's the guy. Last time, he used despicable means to ambush that idiot, the human-faced dog, before she even started fighting. He lost his fighting ability and was eventually forced to subdue her by the other party."

Hanako offered an explanation, which immediately displeased Sadako.

"How could he do this? He's so mean!"

Beside her, the Slit-Mouthed Woman looked at the small Mary with concern, feeling somewhat guilty. "Maybe you shouldn't go alone in the future, Mary. You can't beat him."

After all, she was the one who started it all, and she bears undeniable responsibility for the current situation.

I never expected that my two encounters with that person would be so intense, with such fierce battles. I can't believe what fate awaits Mary after her defeat.

Even a voluptuous adult like herself couldn't hold up, let alone a petite loli like Miss Mary?

"You don't need to face an opponent you can't win against!"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman gritted her teeth, "If it really doesn't work, we can go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Hanako rolled her eyes.

Who wants to be with this rebellious idiot who doesn't listen to his seniors?

The enemy's strength is indeed terrifying, but the teammates' stupidity is even more chilling!

Being let down by a bad teammate is something you only need to experience once!

Besides, there's no need to fight. There's no reward for winning, and you'll be investigated if you lose. Why should you go?

A guy like Mary who goes there every few days is either an idiot or sexually repressed.

She didn't want to be chiseled!

These two guys, one is an idiot, and the other just talks nonsense.

"There's no way to win... I don't understand."

Mary turned her head away. Did she have to reveal that she was actually a mole, and that her salary was much higher than that of the Slit-Mouthed Woman and Hanako, which was why she regularly opened a small stove to collect subsidies?

It's all talk. Once they're officially employed, who's going to fight to the death every day?

If you finally manage to get ashore, and then get into a fight with your boss, wouldn't that mean you got ashore for nothing? How can you even make progress in the future?

Moreover, aside from the time he disobeyed and attacked him first, and the time he gritted his teeth and joined the investigation of Hanako and the others in order not to expose his weakness, he can be very gentle at other times.

After all, Mary is a good girl, so Higashino-sama will naturally treat Mary well.

It's hard to say how much the match strength would be boosted if Slit-Mouthed Woman and others were included.

"Don't worry about it."

"I have my own rhythm!"

"I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger lately. I'm evenly matched with him now. If I keep going, I'll win sooner or later!"

“Um…” Sadako raised her hand, “Why don’t you give me that person’s address or phone number, and I’ll give it a try?”

Sadako has complete confidence in her own strength.

That's the value of something that's half ghost and half urban legend.

She can grow stronger, like in urban legends, through her spread and the various emotions humans have towards her, or like traditional evil spirits, by devouring her own kind, killing humans, or even in special places that can nourish spiritual energy.

It has both mechanisms and strength.

The left hand deals high damage, while the right hand deals high damage.

If even this group of guys can hold their own individually and have a slight advantage as a team, then if she goes up there, wouldn't she only need to make a slight move to wipe out the opponent?

Why would these young people need to worry about this?

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Hanako and her colleagues exchanged glances, their lips curving upwards in a silent struggle, yet they still tried to persuade each other, "After all, you're here to help us, how can we let you fight alone?"

Chapter 167 We Will Win!

"Don't worry! I'll make sure he suffers a crushing defeat and flees in disgrace!"

Miss Sadako said with a serious expression, "Besides, since we're going to do something big together, I need to take some territory from him to make it easier for me to join the team!"

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

"Ah, my takeout order must have arrived!"

The dejected human-faced dog suddenly perked up and hopped towards the entrance, soon returning with a large pile of takeout delivery bags.

"I bought a lot of delicious food. Since I didn't know what Sadako-san's tastes were, I bought a little bit of all the common and delicious foods available in the nearby market. Why don't you finish dinner first, Sadako-san, before you consider going to fight your master?"

"Put dinner aside for now, I'll be right back!"
