I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 185-187: Even monsters have things they must protect.

The left hand, with countless smooth, slender black tentacles growing on its cross-section, was still twitching instinctively, especially the ring finger with the ring, which twitched the most violently.

Several tens of seconds later, the severed hand returned to calm.

Suddenly, the black tentacles began to wriggle, and the severed hand started digging a hole.

Unlike the pale, thin fingers of the severed hand, the digging was very quick, and soon, a head covered in dirt and blood appeared in the pit.

"Phew, phew, I'm suffocating..."

The hero of the roost began to gasp for breath.

His head was buzzing from the excruciating pain and suffocation, his eyes were bloodshot, and his vision was completely blurred.

The shovel that Ku Ge had just used to smash into his head without mercy seemed to have turned on a death rock 'n' roll in Bird's Nest Hero's head, with drums, electric guitar, and keyboard all playing at once, leaving him completely disoriented.

Although his head was almost exploding and he couldn't think, the severed hand with black tentacles instinctively continued to work, peeling away the soil burying the hero of the roost.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

The hero of the roosting bird opened his mouth and spat out the sand, barely managing to open his swollen eyes:

"What happened? Did someone dig me out of the ground? It hurts! Help! Help!"

Hero Tosu struggled to get up, but he was still bound with duct tape, lost his balance, and fell straight to the side.

"Ouch...it hurts so much! It hurts like hell! Linghua, the mother of my child...is anyone there? Help me..."

Every part of his body ached. Whether it was the wounds from the previous torture, the severed limbs, the wounds from the right ear that was cruelly cut off by Brother Ku, or the wounds on his head, they all flared up at once, causing Hero Tori to burst into tears and wish he could faint.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Tosu Hero wished; he remained conscious.

After resting for ten minutes, the pain in his body lessened a bit, and the hero of the roost barely regained some of his senses.

"Nobody's here? Then who dug me out of the ground?"

Tori no Hero looked around blankly, but all around him were the towering trees of Aokigahara, desolate and silent, without a single person in sight.

"What is that hand? And it's moving!? And these black tentacles that look like blood vessels! What the hell?"

When Tosui Hero first saw the severed hand with black tentacles and still moving fingers, he was greatly surprised.

But soon, Hero Tosu realized that the severed hand looked very familiar, especially the wedding ring on the ring finger.

"Is this my left hand, which was cut off by the Matriarch?"

The dense black tendrils on the severed left hand extended all the way to the back of the hero, but the hero had the illusion that he could use the severed hand as if it were an extension of his own arm, just as if it had been perfectly intact and attached to him before.

He tentatively tugged at the muscles in his left arm, and the ring finger of his left hand twitched a few times in response.

It works!

Although I don't know what happened, the most important thing is to untie myself.

Just like a normal person using their hands and feet, Tosu Hero instinctively controlled his severed left hand and brought it behind him.

With a "whoosh," the duct tape that had been tightly wrapped around his arms behind his back was torn off, layer by layer.

"What is this? How did these tentacles grow from my wound?!"

After regaining his freedom of movement, Torii looked down and saw countless black tentacles wriggling from the inside out at the severed wrist of his left hand, connecting the severed hand back together.

The black tentacles slowly tightened inwards, and the next moment, the severed left hand was pulled over and connected seamlessly to the severed wrist.

"this!"

Tosu Hero looked incredulous, his left hand clenching a few times, feeling exactly the same as before.

If it weren't for the obvious cut on his wrist, he would hardly believe that his hand had been cut off before.

"Damn it! Those guys from the Asato Group are on their way to my house. I have to protect Reika and her mother!"

Tosu Hideo suddenly realized that the Asato Group's men were rushing home, and now was not the time to investigate what kind of mutation had occurred in his body!

He struggled to get up, but the sharp pain in his right ankle made him turn pale, and he swayed and fell to the ground.

"Oh right, my right foot was also chopped off by those beasts... Waaah..."

With bloodshot eyes, the hero of the roost, having lost his right leg, had no chance of surviving and leaving this primeval forest.

"My feet! My feet!"

The hero of the Bird's Nest started digging in the pit like a madman.

His hands were covered in blood from digging, and his fingernails were torn off. He accidentally used too much force and his left hand was also severed!

Tosui Hero stared blankly at the black tentacles connected to his left hand, and suddenly, on a whim, he instinctively stretched out his left wrist.

More than a dozen black tentacles shot out from the cut surface!

These black tentacles burrowed deep into the soil, and a dozen seconds later, they wrapped around a severed foot and an ear before retracting from the earth.

"These are my feet and my ears!"

The hero of the roosting bird showed a look of surprise and joy, and quickly hugged the broken foot to his chest.

"If a severed hand can be reattached using these black tentacles, then my leg should be able to too..."

With the thought of trying anything as a last resort, Tosu Hero tore off the gauze wrapped around his right ankle and closed his eyes.

"Ugh!"

Sure enough, thanks to Torii Hero's efforts, countless tentacles emerged from the severed area of ​​his right ankle. Torii Hero was overjoyed and quickly put the severed foot over there.

The black tentacles wriggled as if they were alive, and then reached into the wound of the severed leg.

The severed right foot regained sensation!

Great!

The hero of the roost was overjoyed. He manipulated the black tentacles at his ankle to reconnect his right foot.

"Okay, you can go now! You can run and jump!"

The roosting hero stood up from the pit and jumped for joy.

But joy turned to sorrow; the hero of the bird roost twisted his ankle, and his right foot was dislocated once again.

"Although severed arms and legs can be reattached, they're not very strong and will come off easily with even slight movements. What should I do?"

The black tentacles dragged the severed leg back together, and the Bird Hero was both anxious and furious.

Or, how about we try sewing it up?

"It hurts! It hurts!"

The hero gritted his teeth and carefully pieced the severed foot back together with his ankle. A black tentacle, as thick as a sweater thread, emerged. Then, like a doctor stitching up a wound, he sewed the severed foot back onto his foot.

"It hurts! I want to die... but for my allowance and my wife, I have to endure it..."

Hero Tosu was sweating profusely from the pain. He finally finished stitching up the wound. He took a few tentative steps and found that after stitching, it was like tying shoelaces after putting on boots. It wouldn't come off so easily.

He then did the same thing, stitching up his left wrist as well.

"What am I? A man-made monster like Frankenstein?"

As Torii Hero looked at the conspicuous black tentacle stitches on his severed wrist, a deep fear crept onto his face.

What exactly have I become?

But his gaze immediately hardened.

The aviary hero stumbled and staggered towards the outside.

In this world, his family of only three is his only treasure.

Even after becoming a monster, he still has things he must protect.
