Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Page 36

"Who do you say is the tigress?"

"You, do you really want to catch me? But you don't have any clues, so you have no way to catch me?"

"..."

"As long as you help me this time, I will answer you a question, how about that?"

Chapter 42: The Fox and the Yin Yang Master Meet at Night

answer the questions?

Who knows if the answer you gave is true or false! It's meaningless!

Facing the fox, Asuka Tendo dare not relax at all.

But then again…

The more contacts you have with the fox, the more clues you will get, and the higher the possibility of eventually catching the fox and severely ravaging it. This logic is sound.

An opportunity indeed!

Asuka Tendo sat on the bench in the locker room, thinking over and over again. Her snow-white feet, which could not touch the ground, dangled back and forth, knocking her little rabbit slippers all over the place.

I vaguely remember an old saying from Dongda University: You can’t get a fox without going into the tiger’s den…

Return favors, do good deeds, and collect clues... well, it's worth a try!

"Okay, I promise to help you."

"Thank you very much! You are indeed the legendary super genius Onmyoji, powerful and kind, kind and powerful!"

"Hey, you fox, don't think I'll be happy if you praise me..."

Asuka Tendo pinched the bunny ears of the slippers with her small, tender white toes and twisted them around, while she lowered her voice and said, "Only this once, and it won't change our hostile stance!"

"Understood, I promise, just once~"

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and said, "Well, time is precious, let's get straight to the point. What is that vengeful spirit?"

Asuka Tendo thought for a while, and after confirming that the knowledge in her mind would not harm the Countermeasures Office if shared, she slowly said:

"There is a book called "Records of Obscure Events"

"It was written by the great-grandson of the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki. Because it contains a large number of evil spells, it has been regarded as a forbidden book by Onmyojis of all generations."

"About 350 years ago, when the spiritual energy was about to decline but not completely, the Tsuchimikado family, descendants of the Abe family, suffered a turmoil, and the only original copy of the Oborijiki that they kept was stolen."

what?

Is that Tsuchimikado a descendant of Abe Haruaki?

And what does it mean that the spiritual energy is about to decline but has not yet completely declined? Was the spiritual energy more abundant before than it is now?

In just a short paragraph, the wild fox learned a lot of new knowledge.

Unfortunately, he couldn't ask further.

The fact that Asuka Tendo can say these things casually shows that they are probably common sense in the supernatural world. If he pretends not to understand them, he would be revealing too much.

Over there, the girl continued to explain:

"This book was divided many times after it was lost. Although the Tsuchimikado family tried their best to find it, they only found half of it."

"The remaining half contains a special spell to control and manipulate evil spirits."

"To be specific, the caster must first make someone develop feelings for him/her, then kill them through a certain ritual, and finally extract their soul to control and cultivate it. It is said that the upper limit is extremely high, and it can cultivate a vengeful spirit comparable to a great monster."

"When this spell is used, golden chains will appear..."

Hoshino Hideyuki interrupted:

"In other words, you speculate that someone got the fragments of the "Obscure Record" and learned the spells from it?"

"Yes."

"Then how do we break this spell?"

"Honestly speaking, it's very difficult. The characteristic of this spell is that it has a very high control over the spirit. If you forcibly break it, the spirit will definitely be annihilated."

Asuka Tendo sighed:

"The only effective way is for the caster to untie the restraints themselves."

"This requires sprinkling a specially made sacred sake (a prop wine used in Shinto rituals) on the ground, and then having the practitioner recite the spell in person, and finally kneeling down to pay homage."

"But this is even more difficult, because once the restraints are removed, the caster will be attacked by the vengeful spirit, which is tantamount to suicide. No matter how he thinks about it, he will never do such a thing..."

Hoshino Hideyuki said: "It's okay, I'll take care of this."

Tsk, the cunning fox is quite confident...

Asuka Tendo curled her lips and then said, "What about the divine wine? Are you responsible for it as well?"

"Hey... Hey, I really still need your help..."

"can."

Asuka Tendo readily agreed, but immediately chuckled and said, "But, I want to give this wine to you personally, do you dare to take it?"

The girl straightened her back.

You stinky fox, you don’t dare to answer, right?

I told you to tease me before, now it's my turn to scare you!

Admit that you don’t dare, and then accept the ridicule of this genius!

"Okay~"

Hoshino Hideyuki's answer was equally quick and decisive.

"Hey?"

Asuka Tendo's eyes widened. "You just agreed so easily? Aren't you afraid that I'll take this opportunity to arrest you? Set up a trap at the meeting place or something?"

"Oh my, it turns out Miss Tendo is a fan of bondage games. It doesn't matter, as long as you set a safe word, I can play with the fox~"

"What are you talking about? I'm serious!"

"Okay, okay, I'll answer seriously too~"

Hoshino Hideyuki said in a deep voice: "The answer is not to be afraid. I believe Miss Tendo is not that kind of person~"

"Ha, believe? Doesn't it sound strange to hear this word coming from a trickster's mouth?"

"On the contrary..."

Hoshino Hideyuki said with a smile: "It is precisely because I am a fraudster that I must believe in something. Otherwise, life will become rootless duckweed under countless suspicions and disappear silently in the rain."

"Even if I'm wrong?"

"Unpredictable randomness is the best weapon to fight against fate. I am happy to embrace it~"

"I don't quite understand your logic..."

Asuka Tendo rolled her eyes, but then she found that the ball was back at her feet!

When she first said she would hand over the sacred wine in person, she thought the other party would refuse, so she suggested changing it to mail or some other method, so that she could laugh at the fox.

Unexpectedly, the fox agreed!

So, with such a good opportunity in front of us, what should I do?

Should he keep his promise and simply give him the wine? Or should he take advantage of the situation, overturn his previous promise, and quietly inform his colleagues in the countermeasures office to lay a trap...

Ah, the trolley problem strikes again!

The tram turned around and tried to play Thomas Twist on the tracks!

On the other side, Hoshino Hideyuki continued to ask: "Ms. Tendo, how long will it take you to prepare the sacred wine?"

"Uh, about three days..."

"Then let's meet in four days, how about that?"

"well……"

"As the one being hunted, I will decide the location. I promise it will be near Ginza."

"Um……"

Finally, Asuka Tendo and the fox agreed on a time and place.

Although she hadn't decided whether to keep her promise, the girl couldn't refuse now that it had come to that.

After hanging up the phone, she made a bitter face, grabbed her ponytails with both hands, and decided to take another shower to calm down.

Meanwhile, inside the temple.

Hoshino Hideyuki quietly returned the phone to the monk who was sweeping the floor, walked out the door with a smile, and fished the vengeful spirit that was waiting to scare him like a puppy back behind him.

This time the request for help went smoothly.

Although he agreed to hand over the Imperial Wine personally, he did not think there was anything scary about it.

Firstly, after meeting her twice, he confirmed that Asuka Tendo had good personal conduct and was very likely to keep her promises.

Good girls should be bullied~

Secondly, isn’t this the classic plot of the kidnapper demanding a ransom and then escaping the police?

There are many cases, and there are also many methods passed down by our ancestors. When the time comes, we can deal with them. Not only is it not scary, but it is very interesting.

Ever since.

Four days passed quickly.

That night, after using the temple to dodge the vengeful spirits again, Hoshino Hideyuki asked the wrestler to drive the rented car, while he transformed into a bird and followed closely behind, heading to Ginza.

Fortunately, he saw Asuka Tendo at the agreed square.

As promised, the petite girl was alone.

Under the neon lights, the evening breeze blew, and the beautiful blonde hair fluttered like a ray of sunshine that forgot to set.

Chapter 43 What's under the table? Girl, fox, black stockings

After some ideological struggle, Asuka Tendo decided to keep her promise.

Without notifying anyone, he even skipped Maki Aoyama's invitation to hang out, using the excuse of attending a funeral, and came to see the fox alone.

Standing on the street, she kept muttering:

It’s just a monster, it’s not like I haven’t fought it before!

There is a third time, and I have studied so hard. As long as I am careful, I will not be deceived for the third time. Don't be afraid of him! The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!

I also brought a talisman with me, so if anything unexpected happens I can call for help at any time!

Well, don't be nervous, don't be nervous...

"Ms. Tendo?"

"Don't be nervous!"

"what?"

Asuka Tendo quickly covered up her embarrassment by coughing, raised her head and looked at the driver of the car parked in front of her.

"You...are the Smiling Fox?"

The girl couldn't be sure because she had completely forgotten that face.

The wrestler who was controlled by Hoshino Hideyuki said, "I'm his friend, and I'm here to take you to the meeting place."

"Eh? Aren't we meeting here?"

"Right on the street? That's a bit too hasty. At least we should find a proper place to sit down."

"That's true, but..."
