As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

After about ten minutes, this group of people transformed.

Although they are still the scum at the bottom of society, their spirits have long been sublimated and they have become a group of very honest people who speak their mind without reservation and know everything.

……

Although it may come as a surprise to some people, Yuanhui is actually quite good at interrogating and torturing others.

He actually didn't like these skills very much, but they were "required for the job" after all, so he still tried his best to learn them.

Yuanhui knows almost all the sensitive points of the human body, and he is also quite accomplished in how to cause maximum pain to people.

These people were not patriots with iron wills. After Yuanhui knocked them to the ground in a few moves and broke the arms of one or two of them with an expressionless face, they could only kneel on the ground and tremble in fear.

Yuan Hui sat with his arms and legs spread on a chair that he had brought over, looking down at the people in front of him.

When he was in the village before, Yuan Hui had conducted many experiments on how to trigger the counterattack mechanism of this space.

The most important point is the 'unprovoked' attack.

For example, the time when Yuanhui released the blood snake.

There was no reason for the blood snake's attack at all, so it triggered the rules and turned into ashes.

But if the attack is justified, the rules will not be triggered.

Just like what Yuanhui just did.

This does not mean that Yuanhui has to wait for others to offend him before he can fight back.

In the final analysis, there is only one thing that this rule values ​​most, and that is——

【reason】.

Since you are an actor on the stage, every word and action must be logical, so that the plot does not appear abrupt.

This rule seems to be designed to ensure this.

"I ask, you answer." Yuan Hui looked at the gangster who was the leader before.

At this moment, his face no longer had the previous rebelliousness, but was instead full of flattery and fawning.

"Yes, yes, please feel free to ask."

"I'm not exaggerating. As a native of Sanmuhu, this place has no secrets at all for me."

This person is actually a chatterbox...

"I heard that Saibe Akita lives in [Sanmuroto]. Is this true?" Genhui asked.

He was not actually in such a hurry to find Saibe Akita now.

But no matter what, there is no harm in determining the opponent's position first.

"Are you here to see Master Saibe?" After hearing this question, the man was obviously stunned. After looking Yuanhui up and down, he asked in a slightly hesitant tone -

"Sir, are you here to buy a talisman from him?"

Buy a talisman? What kind of talisman?

Isn't Saibe Akita a writer from Sakurajima Famous Radio? Why does he seem to have a side job?

Yuan Hui blinked, but his face remained expressionless.

Anyway, even if he said nothing, the person in front of him would probably be scared and tell everything he knew.

This is indeed the case.

From this person's words that were like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, Genki also gained a deeper understanding of the other side of Saibe Akita.

This man is indeed a well-known writer in Sakurajima, but in addition to that, he is actually a great Onmyoji who can control and drive ghosts and gods.

As a soul binder recruited by the Metropolitan Police Department, Yuan Hui naturally knew that the so-called "Onmyoji" was actually the predecessor of people like him.

In other words, they are the soul binders who were recruited by the imperial court.

Although he was a scum of society, Yuanhui actually heard from this gangster his respect for the profession of Onmyoji.

Of course, not much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so readily.

According to him, Onmyoji can use a variety of methods to expel ghosts and gods.

What Saibe Akita was best at was the art of talismans.

He could engrave his magical powers into a few small talismans. After carrying these talismans on his body, ghosts and gods (that is, [monsters]) would feel the magical powers in them and would not dare to approach him.

It is precisely because of this ability that people often come here to ask him for talismans, especially those villages where there are no Onmyojis.

Every other year, the village chiefs would bring their belongings to [Sanmuto] and ask the great Onmyoji for talismans in order to avoid harm from ghosts and gods.

"Is the talisman of Saibe Akita really effective? Will those who obtain the talisman from him really not die from the attacks of ghosts and gods in the future?" Yuanhui asked the person in front of him with a very serious look.

The latter opened his mouth slightly.

For the first time, that pair of mouths, which could even be said to be a bit talkative, showed signs of being unable to open.

The others who were lying on the ground obediently also showed expressions mixed with fear and sadness.

“How is that possible…” The gang leader lowered his head, looking a little sad. “The gods and ghosts are the masters of this island. We are just food they feed on.”

"If they really want to eat us, we can only obediently offer our lives."

...I see. Is this common sense among common people in this era?

I am just weird food, and weirdness is the master of this island.

Is this a measure taken by the rulers to keep the people ignorant? Or...

"However, Lord Saibe's talisman should be useful." Yuanhui's expression while thinking clearly reminded this person that now was not the time to be sad and upset.

There is another evil star to serve before me.

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people coming to him to ask for talismans."

"But, Master Saibe's talisman is very expensive."

"If you want to ask him for a talisman, you'd better prepare a little more money."

"Otherwise, I might not even be able to see him..."

This person started to talk nonsense as usual.

Just when Yuan Hui was about to ask the other party the next question——

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

The rapid and continuous sound of bells came from an unknown temple and resounded throughout the entire [Sanshirohu].

After hearing the bell, all the gangsters' faces changed drastically.

They didn't even bother to get Yuanhui's permission, they just raised their heads and looked at the sky.

After seeing the dim yellow color, despair appeared on everyone's face.

Because this place was too remote, and because Yuanhui had knocked them to the ground and forced them to lie prone, no one noticed the exposed corner of the sky.

When the final bell rang, they realized that the day was coming to an end.

At this moment, it is already dusk.

And in Sakurajima, there is a special name for dusk:

That is the time when the devil comes.

"We have already encountered the devil." The lips of the chatterbox gang leader trembled, and he was obviously in extreme fear. "There is no way to return to a safe place now."

"We're fucked."

"We're dead."

Extreme negative emotions began to spread here.

For some beings, such fear is so sweet.

At the entrance of the alley, the sound of a bell suddenly rang.

That is the sound that a peddler would hold in his hand to attract customers and indicate his location.

But in this time of evil, how could there still be peddlers who dare to do business?

The life-threatening ringing sound was getting closer and closer, and finally, a shriveled and wrinkled face appeared in front of the group.

After seeing them, an ugly, greedy smile appeared on her face.

Then, he asked everyone in a 'pleasant' manner:

"Excuse me, do you want feet?"

1. [Foot Selling Woman] and the Scalpel (2/)

The setting sun in the sky trembled and fell below the horizon.

Only half of the outline remained, emitting a dim yellow light somewhat weakly.

The dim color spread from the setting sun to all parts of the sky, and also painted the houses and the earth with this color.

The old woman's face was as ugly as an orange seed.

After being dyed into a waxy yellow by the dim light, it looked even more terrifying.

Yuan Hui could even hear the thugs' teeth chattering, and many of them simply closed their eyes in resignation.

It was obvious that the old woman before them, asking if they wanted her feet, was a freak.

Looking at the old witch in front of him, Yuan Hui frowned slightly.

It's not that this feels weird or tricky.

But because-

He had seen this weirdness before.

During the day, when he loved hanging out in [Sanmuhu], he had noticed this strange figure dressed as an old woman selling goods.

At the time, she was walking around the streets, selling her goods to people who lived here.

Naturally, her cargo was not something as terrifying as "feet", but rather very common wild vegetables dug from the mountains.

Yuan Hui had noticed the greed and desire for humans in her eyes before, but the strange thing was that even though she was so greedy that she almost wanted to slap her hands out of her eyes, she still didn't make a move, but continued to do the transaction in a proper manner.

But now, she completely gave up that superficial disguise and fully revealed her weird appearance in front of everyone.

The malice in her cloudy eyes almost became real.

Considering the bell that just rang and the words of the gang leader before, Yuan Hui also understood.

It was obvious that Amaterasu had used some unknown method to restrain Sakurajima's weirdness and forced them to abide by her rules.

One of them should be that you cannot eat people during the day.

But after dusk, this law becomes invalid.

The monsters hiding in the crowd will no longer have any scruples and can eat people with impunity.

That's why bells are rung to remind people when to take shelter.

The question now is, can the weirdness of this world only be released at dusk called "The Moment of Demon"?

Or does it mean that from dusk until dawn the next day, it is the demons' time of carnival?

Yuanhui didn't think about this problem.

Because he knew that he would get the answer soon.

...After catching this 'old woman selling feet'.

Seeing that no one answered her question, the old woman was not angry.

She just walked towards Yuanhui and the thugs step by step with trembling steps.

If she gets close to me, something horrible will definitely happen!
