Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

The reporter did not expect to get such an answer. She originally just wanted to ask about what happened at the rescue scene.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to take back the microphone.

"Stay at the scene, stay at the scene!" A blond and blue-eyed foreigner appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the microphone, and spoke with a strange accent.

"I saw it too! That must be Chinese kung fu! He flew over the edge of the huge crack with a whoosh! Oh my god, my ma mi, I'm on TV!"

No... Li Mengyu had no memory of saving this foreign friend. Also, it was only a crack of about two meters... a crack that any normal adult should be able to jump over!

And from what he said, this guy... definitely just wants to be on TV!

Because of the intrusion of this foreign friend, the live broadcast site unsurprisingly fell into chaos.

There seemed to be a few guys who wanted to become famous and appear on TV.

The live broadcast was forcibly interrupted.

"..."

Jun Qianjing blinked at Li Mengyu.

Li Mengyu's face was a little stiff, and she forced an ugly smile at Jun Qianjing.

"do not laugh."

“Puff! Hahahaha!”

Chapter 36: A Faint Hope (One Day Left, Fall)

"I watched the news this morning."

This was the first sentence Inumoto Saburo said when he saw Li Mengyu, who found his home through the address.

After saying that, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

That’s right. After all, that live broadcast was really embarrassing. Although I know it’s Mr. Inumoto’s fault, but, in this case…

"puff……"

Jun Qianjing, who was following Li Mengyu and helping him lead the way (who do you think looked at the address?), wanted to suppress his smile, but there was no doubt about it.

She failed.

"Mr. Inumoto... please, let's not talk about this topic for now."

Li Mengyu covered her face. It was over. She was really too embarrassed to see anyone.

In order to prevent Jun Qianjing from causing a mental explosion again next time, mainly because the girl still has to go to school... The purpose of leading the way has been achieved, and the greatest contributor was sent to school without hesitation. You are worthy of it, Li Mengyu.

Watching the interaction between Li Mengyu and Jun Qianjing, Inumoto Saburo also forced a smile on his face, although it was far-fetched... but at least the deathly aura on his body was not as heavy as before.

Saburo Inumoto's house, located in an uninhabited suburb, is in a very remote location and it looks like it covers at least 300 square meters... It gives the impression of being extremely wealthy.

"At the beginning, I spent almost all my savings to buy this place...but who made her like it?"

There was a sense of nostalgia and doting in Inumoto Saburo's tone.

However, Li Mengyu was not good at reading the atmosphere and still asked how much it cost to buy this place.

I had no other intention, and it would not help him in any way with the commission he had accepted. I was just out of pure curiosity.

"Five million yen... it was the most money I could afford at the time."

It’s almost 35 RMB.

Although in Li Mengyu's daily concept, buying a house of that size for 35... doesn't seem very expensive, but this house now... or a few years ago, is definitely not a small amount of money.

Inumoto Saburo didn't care and opened the door of his house.

When I opened the door, dust flew up.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been back much since my wife disappeared."

Maybe seeing old things easily brings back memories, Li Mengyu said she could understand that.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Li Mengyu's expression changed significantly.

Following behind Inumoto Saburo, Mr. Inumoto seemed to be lost in memories of the past, so he didn't notice that a small rune in Li Mengyu's hand behind him emitted a faint light at this moment.

After he turned around, Li Mengyu clenched her fist again and held the glowing rune in her palm without letting him see it.

"You can watch whatever you want, but I only have one request... Try not to break her things... Maybe, maybe she'll use them when she comes back."

"Ok."

Li Mengyu agreed, but her expression was still a little strange.

He opened his palm again, and the glowing rune had disappeared into his palm. He had erased it himself.

When he separated from the skeleton before, he used a little bit of the other's bone residue to make a small symbol on his body.

It wasn't for the purpose of tracking him, but he had said before that if that guy did anything evil, he would deal with it himself.

But how can we be sure that it did something?

The symbol on Li Mengyu's palm is used to detect the "components" of that thing in the surrounding space. If it is just passing by, the remaining breath cannot even light up the rune.

However, the continuous glow...this means that the skeleton must have lived here for a long time.

Although it is possible that he stayed here when Mr. Inumoto was not here, it doesn't make sense considering the accumulated dust.

And...that skeleton is in Kagawa Prefecture. Judging from its behavior in front of Li Mengyu, it doesn't seem like it can hide its existence in front of humans.

It’s not possible to take a car, but if you walk... based on Li Mengyu’s own experience.

Isn't this totally unnecessary?

"Tsk, my head hurts a little."

Just the information available now and any conclusions that can be drawn make my head hurt.

"If that's the case...wouldn't it be even more difficult for me?"

He stayed in Mr. Inumoto's room for less than 10 minutes and then walked out, which surprised Mr. Inumoto who was in the living room.

This time is too short, such a short time... He remained pessimistic about whether Li Mengyu could come to any conclusion.

"Mr. Inumoto, you..."

He hesitated to speak, and to be honest, he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay... I've asked detectives and shrine priests for help, but they can't do anything. It's normal that you can't do anything, Mr. Li... As for the commission fee... Just consider it as my reward for telling you a ridiculous story."

"..."

This is too pitiful. What kind of honest man is he? He is like this.

It’s not right for Li Mengyu to say it, and it’s not right for her not to say it.

No matter what the result was, it would be too cruel for the man in front of him.

After pondering for a long time, Li Mengyu let out a breath. In this situation, it is better to follow his own inner thoughts.

"Mr. Inumoto, I... have probably reached a conclusion, but... I can't tell you this conclusion yet. I will give you an answer when the trains between Kochi Prefecture and Kagawa Prefecture are reconnected."

"Mr. Li, you...I, I hope you are not kidding me."

Inumoto Saburo frowned his brows, as if he was about to get angry. It was a very bad thing to give a person who had almost given up all hope a false hope.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he kept wiping the sweat off himself.

If that last bit of hope were to be extinguished, what would become of Inumoto Saburo, Mr. Inumoto... The answer is almost certainly a yes.

Even now, those eyes were bloodshot.

"I never joke with my clients. Please trust my professional ethics."

Although this was actually only his second commission, as long as he spoke loudly and firmly, he could hypnotize not only himself but also the client.

As expected, Inumoto Saburo was shocked by his aura.

"You really, have a clue? Can you help me?!"

Li Mengyu really wanted to say that there was actually very little hope, but... the expression of the man in front of her was as if he had grabbed a life rope while drowning.

"Please... leave it to me with confidence."

He gave this answer, rubbing his fingers across his palm.

Although he has a 99% chance of being able to confirm his guess, unexpected situations are inevitable.

"Mr. Inumoto?"

He called out to the other person.

"?"

"Are you willing to believe in the so-called gods?"

Chapter 37 I'm cute so give me money

After his wife disappeared, Saburo Inumoto did everything he could.

Of course he had prayed to gods and Buddhas before. He had visited all the gods, big and small, in the four countries, regardless of their responsibilities. However, it can be seen from the current situation.

That's almost useless.

He could say that he had seen shrines of all shapes and sizes, crowded with people, but... the shrine that appeared in front of him was something he had never seen before.

Not to mention the broken steps leading up the mountain, and the hall covered with cobwebs, it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

The eaves were broken into several pieces for unknown reasons, and the traces looked very recent, but who would go to a shrine in such a desolate mountain area... His eyes accidentally fell on Li Mengyu who was standing nearby.

But that's not very likely. How could someone who has done something to offend the gods come to the shrine?

The dust on the cash box makes people not want to get close to it just by looking at it.

There is also a large piece of abnormally black stone brick, which makes this place really weird.

Look at the fox statue at the torii gate of the shrine. This is probably the shrine of the god Inari, right?

Why did I come here? There was no reason at all. Although it was during my free time as agreed with Li Mengyu, this meaningless thing...

Therefore, Li Mengyu's trust in Inumoto Saburo is rapidly declining.

Although I can sense the other person's emotions, at this point, there is no good way to save the relationship.

Let's ignore the suspicious Mr. Inumoto for now. Li Mengyu walked quickly towards the temple, smiling and swinging her fists.

"Duang~"

A thin layer of shield appeared at the last moment when Li Mengyu's fist touched the temple.

"Wow~ It's still there. I thought you had given up on this place... After all, there are so many damaged places that have not been repaired."

He knocked on the newly built barrier twice, causing ripples to appear that could be seen by ordinary people.

"Ahhh! Stop knocking, or it will break again! I don't have the strength to build another barrier anymore!"

The beings in the shrine could no longer tolerate it and finally raised their voices of rebuke.

It's just... the voice is soft and has no dignity at all.

And it inexplicably causes a strange feeling of "wanting to bully again".

He knocked on the barrier twice more.

"Ahhh! You rude bastard! I'll fight you!"

The barrier was instantly removed, and the loli with fox ears and fox tail suddenly appeared above Li Mengyu's head and pounced directly on his face.

Because it was a sudden incident, he also did not expect that the so-called god's true body would be such a small thing, and he was caught off guard.

Although the force of the attack on him was not a big deal, it still caused Li Mengyu's body to tilt involuntarily, and in the end... from the result, he was pushed to the ground.

"Inari God" did not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His fist, which was probably slightly larger than Li Mengyu's eyes, fell on Li Mengyu's cheek like a storm.

"Oh la la oh la la oh la!"
