Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

He shone his flashlight around, and when he saw the crack in the wall, his eyelids twitched.

"Hey?"

After a moment of silence, he spoke again, but received no response from anyone.

This made him silently swallow hard, and he took a few steps back.

"If no one's here, I'll leave?"

Despite his repeated inquiries, the passageway remained deathly silent.

Just after his last call, a roar that was not human suddenly came from inside the passage.

The sound echoed through the passageway, reaching the man's ears and startling him.

"Ahhhh!!!"

He screamed, dropped the flashlight, and scrambled out of the passage as if some man-eating monster was behind him.

As the flashlight beam went out, the three people in the passage breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the octopus-like monster whose legs were being stepped on and whose mouths were being tightly covered, and gave it a thumbs up.

"Looks like you're really useful; you scared them away right away."

With no one around, the hope in the octopus demon god's eyes slowly faded, and finally, it sat drooping its head among the group.

"Tell us the truth and we'll let you go."

Yuuki waved her phone and gave the Octopus Otherworldly God a smile.

Looking at the phone held in Yuuki's hand, the despair in the Octopus Otherworldly God's eyes deepened.

"I never expected that you, as an Otherworldly God, would have such a happy family here. This is not something an Otherworldly God should do."

Rin looked at the family photo on the man's phone wallpaper with some surprise.

"Give up, I won't say anything."

Like a deflated balloon, the octopus-like Otherworldly being lay there limp, as if accepting its impending death.

"Don't be so anxious. Judging from your appearance, your wife and daughters haven't been kidnapped, have they?"

Yu Xing held her phone, stroked her chin, and uttered a profound truth.

Yuuki's words made the octopus-shaped Otherworldly being lying on the ground suddenly raise its head, looking at Yuuki with a hint of surprise.

"So this is the real reason you didn't tell me? When did those people become so smart?"

In Yuuki's mind, most of the weirdos, besides causing destruction, only have a tiny bit of intelligence.

"So don't try to get any information from me, I'm not going to say anything."

The octopus demon god seemed to realize that these people were not as vicious as they seemed. He gave a bitter laugh and quietly awaited his death.

"I think it would be better to tell us the news. If I'm not mistaken, your wife and daughter should already be dead."

Rin shattered the only illusion in the octopus-like Otherworldly being's mind and spoke softly.

Based on her years of experience as a police officer, whenever a kidnapping is involved, the act of silencing the witness has already begun from the very beginning.

"Impossible, they called me yesterday!"

The octopus demon immediately retorted, but the despair in its eyes deepened.

Perhaps he had already guessed, but he was still unwilling to give up because of that vague possibility.

"You bastard, you're clearly a demon god, how could you possibly have a child with a human?"

"They have nothing to do with you, what do you want?"

Momotaros, as an Otherworldly being, knew a lot of things, and he asked a question, somewhat puzzled.

The octopus-like Otherworldly being remained silent for a moment, then looked at Momotaros, its voice hoarse: "How could someone like you possibly understand me?"

"Hey."

These words displeased Momotaros: "You weren't so kind back then."

Momotaros still remembered how Ryotaro dealt with the Octopus Imagin; that guy was essentially a complete villain.

"Hehe, times have changed. I've accepted a wish."

When this was mentioned, the octopus demon opened up and slowly revealed his experiences.

"When we first arrived, we fell down along with the King's tram."

Yu Xing nodded slightly. The Octopus Otherworldly God wasn't lying; it was exactly the same as what he had seen back then.

"During the battle, the king ordered us to spread out, take control of the surrounding area, and kill all the other bystanders."

"But amidst the raging inferno, I encountered a man who worked in the commercial district; he was trapped under a stone pillar."

As he was speaking, the Octopus Demon God suddenly coughed twice, and a few drops of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't die!"

Realizing there was more to the story, Yuuki quickly activated his power, but this power had no effect on the Octopus Otherworldly God.

When faced with a life-or-death situation, the octopus demon god became calm and continued his story.

"The man was almost crushed in two by the stone pillar. In his dying moments, he unconsciously made a wish to me."

The Octopus Otherworldly God raised its head slightly, looked at Youxing, and said, word by word, "He told me that he wanted to see his wife and daughter again and hoped that he could continue to take care of them."

The octopus demon god agreed to this wish, and thus took over the man's body, inheriting all of the man's memories.

He took over the man's job, protecting his wife and daughter.

Over time, perhaps influenced by the man's memories, the octopus demon gradually developed feelings and vowed to protect the family steadfastly.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He was still an underling of Another King, and even if he didn't want to, someone would force him to agree.

"The story is quite touching."

After hearing the whole story, Youxing couldn't help but sigh.

"So I absolutely cannot let them die, not even if there is the slightest hope!"

Blood vessels burst from the octopus-like demon god's eyes, yet a resolute expression remained.

He was willing to die to protect the mother and daughter.

"This is troublesome. We'll help you rescue the person, and you can let us know after the person is rescued, okay?"

Yuuki quickly provided a solution, much to the surprise of the Octopus Otherworldly God.

"You'll help me? Clearly..."

"Enough with the nonsense. I don't want to hear your questions."

"You just need to know that we will help you. As for why, it comes from the light in your heart."

Momotaros waved his hand, interrupting the octopus Otherworldly god's question.

"As long as what you're saying is true, we will help you."

Rin untied the rope binding the octopus Otherworldly God and nodded to him.

"Saving lives is one thing, but what I hope for even more is that you can hold onto that belief in your heart and never lose that sense of protection."

Yuuki got up and pulled the octopus demon god up from the ground. The others also stood up, each with different injuries.

"Although we are now an injured team, I think we can definitely succeed in saving someone."

Momotaros said casually, and Yuuki looked over and found that the wound on his back showed no signs of healing.

"Let's go!"

Carrying his sword, Momotaros took the first step and walked towards the door.

After walking for a while, he realized that no one was following him. When he turned around, he found that everyone was standing still and speechless.

"Shouldn't we have gone through that door?"

Yuuki pointed to the door after the corner, the door she had used to come in.

"If we walk from the front, we'll reach the inside of the mall, right? We..."

Yu Xing looked herself up and down; she was covered in wounds.

This appearance would definitely startle anyone who went out, not to mention the situation of the other two people.

"Uh...actually, I came to pick up a flashlight."

Momotaros scratched his head, quickly bent down to pick up the flashlight from the ground, and waved it in his hand.

"Let's assume you are."

Seeing Momotaros return, Yuuki didn't ask any more questions and led the group out of the mall.

Outside the mall, the stars were still twinkling, indicating that it was quite late.

Without lingering, the group quickly walked away into the distance.

Chapter 174 The Great [Heim]

With the others by his side, Yuuki returned to the apartment building of Rin Ichijo.

Why did you come here?

Rin Ichijo was somewhat speechless.

"Where else can we go?"

Yuuki took it quite for granted; he only knew of Rin Ichijo's residence, so he naturally brought his group here.

"We can't exactly go to this guy's house, can we?"

Yuuki reached out and patted the octopus Otherworldly God on the shoulder: "Going to his house is the same as exposing us to the enemy."

“His house is definitely under very close surveillance, so we don’t have much time.”

"This time we're facing normal people, not those idiots whose brains are just muscles."

Yu Xing asked seriously, "Brother, what time do you get off work?"

The octopus demon clutched its chest and answered without hesitation, "My workday ends at 7 a.m.
