But they had no better choice, because Xiachuan had seen strangers appearing around this house and near Hezhuang more than once, disguised as workers repairing electric wires or unclogging sewers and staying there for a long time.
Several vacant houses near the apartment suddenly had residents. Even the empty shops opposite Hezhuang had been rented out, and there were a few workers working on the renovations every day.
They are now just silently observing and monitoring from a distance, but who knows when they will suddenly approach, or even send an EMP directly over?
He knew very well that as long as Yui Aoki's suspicion was not cleared, it would only be a matter of time.
[If they use bad means on you, it doesn't matter if you tell them everything. The most important thing is that you are fine. Do you understand?]
Yui Aoki shook her head desperately, and her tears welled up even more.
At this moment, he really wanted to hold her in his arms, but he could do nothing. He could do nothing except gently tapping her palm to tell her that he was still by her side.
It was you who had to force this upon me!
In the darkness, Xia Chuan said silently.
Yui Aoki suddenly crawled out from under the quilt.
[Yui?]
"Don't wait another night." She whispered. "Mr. Guardian Spirit, you have always been protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect you."
#####
"Report, the target suddenly went out!" The investigator hiding in the opposite apartment reported through the intercom in the dark.
"Got it. Keep an eye on her. We'll make preparations immediately."
"She threw out a bag of garbage and is now walking towards the convenience store."
"understood."
A few minutes later, an Akasaka employee disguised as a scavenger appeared slowly and walked slowly towards the place where the garbage was thrown. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she quickly put the bag of garbage into the cart she was pushing and left from the other side.
On the other side, Yui Aoki, who had left the first observation point, had entered the monitoring range of the second observation point.
"Point No. 2 has taken over now. There is nothing wrong with the target... She seems to be a little depressed."
The surveillance personnel kept reporting Aoki Yui's movements, and shortly after she passed by, someone pretended to be a passerby and walked along the path she walked to check if there was anything unusual.
"She went into the convenience store and there was a customer inside the convenience store."
"Pay attention!"
The two of them were far apart and had no interaction. Afterwards, Yui Aoki paid the bill and walked out of the convenience store alone.
Nothing unusual.
An ownerless golden retriever suddenly ran towards her.
"Attention please!"
The golden retriever pounced on her, as if wanting to play with her. Its owner hurried over, scolded the dog loudly, apologized to her continuously, and tried desperately to drag the dog away from her.
Yui Aoki seemed frightened, and her already bad mood became even worse. She stared at the dog for a while, then walked home silently with her head lowered.
An investigator was about to catch up to check on the dog walker and the dog, but because he wanted to avoid Yui Aoki's sight, by the time he came out of his hiding place, the man and the dog had already run far down the street. At this time, the customer who had been shopping at the convenience store also opened the door and walked out.
He hesitated for a moment and walked towards the customer.
The detector did not sound an alarm, so he walked into the convenience store and walked along the shelves where Yui Aoki had stopped before, confirming that there was nothing unusual.
"The target has returned home."
"The alarm has been lifted. Everyone remain alert and can take turns to rest."
Chapter 29 You are all excellent
"Alas... I have my dignity too..." When they finally ran out of Akasaka's sight and turned into a secluded street without surveillance, Takahata was finally able to turn back into a human.
The dog's form is actually closer to their original appearance, but after so many years of blending into this world in the guise of humans, their thinking and habits have long been assimilated by humans without their knowledge.
Yoshiyama quietly pulled him aside, reminding him that Xiachuan was right above him and was obviously in a bad mood.
At this time, the two civet cats had actually somewhat understood that the vengeful spirit in front of them was not as ferocious as it looked, nor as powerful as they had previously thought.
But... they still didn't dare to bet whether the curse Xiachuan mentioned was true. Moreover, as perhaps the weakest monster, they could get the promise of a powerful vengeful spirit to return a favor to them, which was a reason worth taking the risk for them.
Of course, if the Akasaka men had really seen through their changes and pulled out their guns, they would have probably run away as fast as possible. However, since the matter had been completed perfectly according to Xia Chuan's instructions, they had the confidence to be less humble in front of Xia Chuan.
"Let's go to where you live." Xiachuan floated to a height of 20 meters, looking in the direction of the dilapidated apartment where Aoki Yui lived. He was silent for a long time before finally landing. "Call Sato and ask him to come over tomorrow morning."
"We don't actually have that much savings..." Takahata felt a little painful when he thought of Natsukawa's arrangement.
"Sato will pay you back double soon. If you don't trust him, don't you trust me?"
But Natsukawa still underestimated the integrity of the raccoon cat. Takahata and Yoshiyama's savings were not just not much, they were very little.
Two monsters with the ability to transform have been in the human world for more than 20 years, but their combined savings are less than 500,000 yuan, which is only a month's salary for two ordinary human workers. It is simply a shame on earth!
"Where's your money?" This outrageous number made Xia Chuan wonder if they were up to something.
"We bought food... rented comics, bought DVDs and games," Yoshiyama replied uneasily. "Besides, since we don't have any skills and we're not good-looking, we can only do the simplest odd jobs and we really can't make much money."
"I think you are just lazy?" Xia Chuan said mercilessly.
It can be seen from the two people's room that if Xia Chuan was not incorporeal, he would not even be able to step into this garbage-like house.
This house should have been moved after meeting Xia Chuan. It's amazing that they could create such an effect in such a short time.
After getting used to Yui Aoki cleaning the room every day and keeping it clean and tidy, it was a torture to see a room like this.
With their laziness, Xia Chuan really doubted how many hours they would work in a day. If it weren't for the high probability of being spotted by Akasaka if they turned leaves into money, they probably wouldn't even go to work.
"You don't look good?" He suddenly realized the problem. "You're going to change anyway, can't you make yourself look better?"
The result is indeed no.
The two raccoons learned the art of transformation, which only allowed them to turn themselves into short and fat men. Such a body shape would be useless even with a model-like handsome face. Instead, it would make them even more weird and more eye-catching. So they decisively gave up on themselves until now.
By the way, the golden retriever that Takahata transformed into before was also very fat. If the fur color had not been deliberately enhanced, it might have been mistaken for a bear in the dark.
As expected, they are the ultimate waste that can never be used... If there was really no one around him who could be used, Xia Chuan really couldn't ask them for help.
"Five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand..." Xia Chuan could only sigh. "Go and withdraw the money tomorrow morning, then change into another form and go to meet Sato. Don't go to Tsuru Manor during this period. Wait for my call to inform you about the matter of delaying the curse every week."
"You can't completely do it for us..." Takahata asked in a low voice.
"No!" Xia Chuan said firmly.
#####
"You are the one sent by the Great Ming God..." Sato was a little excited, but more uneasy.
The appearance of the contact person proved that this uninvited god was not completely without a background, so he might be more powerful than Sato expected. But in other words, it also meant that in this secret organization, he was just a part that could be abandoned and replaced at any time.
A sense of crisis arises spontaneously.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't say things that you shouldn't say!" Takahata said mysteriously according to Natsukawa's instructions.
"Yes!" Sato said hurriedly, looking around vigilantly.
"It's too suspicious!" Xia Chuan couldn't help but say.
"Watch your behavior, it looks too suspicious," Takahata said.
"You too!" Xia Chuan couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, Sato couldn't hear Xiachuan's voice, and nodded immediately: "You are right! I was negligent!"
But his expression...
"Are you two filming a drama?" Xia Chuan couldn't stand it anymore and said to Takahata. "Let's go! Remember to wait for my call!"
After watching the mysterious contact person leave, Sato had to take several deep breaths in succession, then he found a more secluded place and carefully opened the briefcase.
There was only an envelope inside, which should have contained money, and an amulet that looked like it had been there for some time.
The craftsmanship is pretty good, it looks like the work of a large shrine, and the god seems to have a deep background... Sato commented instinctively, and then couldn't wait to open the envelope.
"What? Only five hundred thousand?" He couldn't help but stand the envelope up and shake it, then carefully checked whether there were any other compartments in the briefcase.
Why is my luck so bad? Why are all the people I can use so bad?
Xia Chuan couldn't help but think so.
The phone rang immediately, followed by the familiar oracle from Sato.
[Go to a financial company and solve your troubles this month first]
"Yes."
Although he had many doubts, Sato immediately nodded in agreement and took action.
There was still a long way to go, so he could take his time to think about how to execute the order.
The simplest way, of course, is to just pay off the interest for this period and leave. However, the interest for one period is only 300,000 yuan, but the god deliberately gave him 500,000 yuan, presumably to give him a new test.
What is the key point?
How can I use these 500,000 to satisfy the gods?
Sato walked all the way to the downstairs of the finance company without figuring this out, but unexpectedly ran into two thugs from the finance company who had just returned from outside.
"Sato? What are you doing?"
"Hi, um... I'm here to pay back the money..." Sato's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously lowered his head and shrank his neck.
But the slap still hit him hard on the head.
"Isn't that like you? Did you find something valuable in that shabby shrine again? Hahaha, why are you hiding? You're old and ugly, am I going to eat you?"
Like a deer caught between two bears, Sato was taken to the second floor anxiously and dragged into the finance company's office.
Chapter 30 Don't blame me for making trouble
This was not the first time that Kentaro Sato had come to this place, but except for the first time, every time made him nervous.
Two middle-aged men in their underwear were kneeling on the cold floor, being slapped by a thug. When Sato saw them, it was as if he saw himself being caught here several times before.
"If you can't make money, won't you steal, cheat, or rob? Hey! Yotsuya, don't you still have parents? Ask them to give you their pension! Otherwise, force them to sell their house!"
"But..." The man named Yotsuya opened his mouth timidly and was immediately slapped in the face.
"Don't make excuses! Show some manliness. Do you think these two old guys can stop you? After they die, these things will be yours. Isn't it natural for them to solve your problem in advance?"
The thug said as he slapped Yotsuya, making him dizzy and he subconsciously agreed.
"Take your clothes and get out! Remember, force your parents to sell the house! Or you can mortgage it! Got it?"
"Yes, yes!" Yotsuya ran away in panic, holding his clothes, leaving the man beside him with a look of despair on his face.
"Hey, Lord Sato is here? How rare!" The boss of the financial company forced a fake smile on his face. "I heard that you've been doing well recently?"
"Thanks to you..." Sato said subconsciously.
One of the thugs who brought him up suddenly reached out and snatched the briefcase from his arms.
"Half a million? Not bad." The boss finally showed a real smile on his face. "Hey, take this guy to the next door and let him calm down. Got it?"
The two thugs laughed and dragged the man into the next room regardless of his pleas.
Sato's spirit became even more tense, he knew very well what was next door.
That was where these guys stored their sundries, but they put a big refrigerator there. People who failed to pay the interest on time were often locked up there, suffering from darkness, cramped space, cold and other tortures. This practice would not cause obvious scars, but it was more terrifying than slapping someone in the face.
"What the hell is this?" The eldest brother saw the amulet at this time, so he took it out and threw it on the ground.
Sato hurriedly picked it up and carefully put it in his pocket.
His mind was completely blank and he was completely unable to think about what the God meant.
In this hell that belonged exclusively to this financial company, the only thing he thought about was how to completely sever ties with them and never come here to face them again.
"that……"
"What are you doing?!" the thug standing next to the boss asked viciously.
"Can the extra two hundred thousand... um, can I use it to pay back part of the principal first?" Sato finally forced himself to muster up the courage to ask.
