Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Shizuka Hanazawa and the others also told Kenichi Kitagawa that the purpose of their trip was to allow him to meet the Holy Mother, receive the final blessing, and thus completely shed his mortal body, blah blah blah.

The above is the information that Hideyuki Hoshino obtained.

"Tsk, why are they going to all this trouble?"

After hearing the story, the fox put Kitagawa to sleep again, and then became more and more puzzled.

It's quite normal for a spider and its followers to get together and form a cult; after all, when you're out in the world, you always need to wear a mask.

But why go to such great lengths to elevate a saintly son?

If Kenichi Kitagawa wasn't lying, then they've been working on this for at least thirty years. Couldn't they have done something else with that time? Even giving it to Rockstar would have been enough for them to release GTA 8!

Just as the fox was pondering, Yukiho Amamiya gently reached out and placed her hand on Kenichi Kitagawa's forehead.

A faint golden light flowed over the latter's entire body.

After a moment, Yukiho Amamiya withdrew her hand and smiled at the fox:

"Mr. Smiling Fox, I think I know why~"

After pretending to be a pretty face for two days, the young lady finally changed her mind and decided to show the male fox her reliable side...

Chapter 164 The young lady wants to be praised by the fox

"This guy is the new body that Sumi prepared for himself."

Right off the bat, Yukiho Amamiya pointed at Kenichi Kitagawa and stated her conclusion.

"A new...body?"

Feeling that he had touched on a blind spot in his knowledge, Hoshino Hideyuki immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

Amamiya Yukiho raised her hand, causing Kitagawa Kenichi to float in the air in a spread-eagle position. Then, she used her fingers to illuminate the muscles of his forehead, heart, arms, and thighs, and said in a deep voice:

"Special spider silk has been infiltrated into his most critical organs and muscle groups, fitting closely to his original body tissues. It was not implanted later, but was naturally grown together."

"In other words, he was modified almost from birth."

"If this specially made body were possessed by a spider-like monster or god, one's cultivation would progress at an absolutely lightning speed."

"If it's just for training combat puppets, the cost is far too high, so I think it's most likely that Sumi herself wants to use it."

Hoshino Hideyuki pondered for a moment and asked, "But logically speaking, whether Sumi Ri is a god or a youkai, she has already achieved success in her training. Her original body should have been perfected long ago, so there seems to be no need for her to change to a new one, right?"

"Normally yes, but what if she had a pre-existing health problem?"

Amamiya Yukiho smiled and said, "The following is just my guess, Mr. Smiling Fox, just take it with a grain of salt~"

“Hundreds of years ago, when the spiritual energy had just begun to decline, Sumi probably couldn’t find a suitable secret place to hide.”

"So she could only come up with some crooked tricks, such as using her special status as a mountain god to gather her soul and power together and completely merge with the mountains surrounding Musashi Village."

"This is a method that only the native mountain gods can use. Once successful, they can hide themselves in the earth and enter a state similar to hibernation. They will not die even if the spiritual energy declines, and they can wake up again when the spiritual energy recovers."

"But doing this also has huge drawbacks."

"First of all, one will inevitably fall into a long sleep, which is not much different from death, and accidents are more likely to happen. I guess the reason why Sumi Riki turned into a spider is because he was affected by the creatures in the mountains during his sleep."

"For example, if a spider monster dies on the mountain, its resentment is absorbed by the mountain and may in turn pollute its soul."

"Secondly, even after she awakens, she will be unable to leave because of her close connection with the land, just like a bound spirit."

Aha?

Wouldn't this be called a Bound God? Or perhaps a super invincible god of staying at home?

It's amazing that such a thing exists.

Hideyuki Hoshino smacked his lips.

Yukiho Amamiya continued:

"That must be it, everything makes sense now."

"She was too closely connected to this place, which is why the spider web could connect to the earth's veins and be exceptionally resilient. But she wanted to sever this connection and leave the village, which is why she raised Kenichi Kitagawa."

"The blessing ceremony is a ceremony to seize a body. The purpose of summoning the spider web was to ensure that the ceremony would not be disturbed. I never expected that you and I, two foxes, would be trapped inside, and instead, she would be severely disturbed."

Yes.

It's like digging a pit to catch a tiger, only to end up falling into the pit yourself and the tiger.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Hideyuki raised his hand like a primary school student and asked:

"Mr. Amamiya, I have another question!"

"Hmm, the teacher's favorite is the Smiling Fox student, go ahead and ask!"

"Why must we keep people outside? Wouldn't it be better to just pick a villager from the local area? Besides, even if we choose an outsider, why not just bring him back instead of going through the trouble of playing the role of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Child with him?"

Amamiya Yukiho blinked and slowly said:

"Well, not everyone can withstand her spider silk. Perhaps Kitagawa just happens to be the one with the most suitable physique."

"As for why I play role-playing games... I think it's a matter of spiritual connection,"

"It's easy to possess someone, but it's not easy to completely take over someone's body, replace their existence, and unleash their potential to the fullest extent."

"It is probably because Sumi Ryo was worried that when taking over the body, Kitagawa Kenichi would resist too fiercely, affecting the fusion effect. That's why she went to so much trouble to increase Kitagawa Kenichi's dependence and respect for her, and reduce his resistance."

It turned out to be the case.

This is truly treating Kenichi Kitagawa like an animal.

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the man on the ground and sighed at how arrogant and wicked this guy was, but he didn't know that he was just a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Wow, fate is really interesting.

However, if we go back to the point, Sumi is a goddess and Kitagawa is a man. If she possesses him, wouldn't that be equivalent to a seamless sex change?

Yes, it's very diverse! It's well-suited to the matching mechanisms across the ocean! (Limited to before a new president takes office)

"Ahem, Mr. Smiling Fox?"

Just as the male fox's thoughts were wandering, Amamiya Yukiho raised an eyebrow and said with some dissatisfaction, "I've sorted out all the enemy's information. Shouldn't Mr. Smiling Fox say something?"

"what?"

Hoshino Hideyuki turned his head and saw that the young lady had stopped making a sound, only silently gesturing with her mouth:

Praise me!

Quick! Praise me!

Male fox: ?

what's wrong with you!

I can pretend to be a primary school student here, after all, I'm only 2 years old. But compared to me, you're a 16-year-old old lady. How come you're also playing the role of a toddler?

Disrespecting the elderly!

Although he thought this in his heart, the fox still sighed softly and said, "Alright, I'll grant your wish. Cough, Miss Amamiya is truly amazing, so resourceful and wise, seemingly foolish yet actually wise..."

"Hmm~"

Amamiya Yukiho nodded with enjoyment, but then frowned: "Wait, those last two Tokyo University idioms were used in a slightly problematic way..."

"Absolutely no problem! They all contain the character for 'wisdom,' so they're definitely good words!"

As Hoshino Hideyuki spoke, he quickly changed the subject:

"So, according to you, Kenichi Kitagawa is very important to Risa Sumi?"

"Yes."

"Ha, then we really made the right choice. From now on, we have leverage to make Susumu hesitate to act!"

As Hoshino Hideyuki spoke, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, held up his index finger, and said:

"Young Miss, I've got an idea!"

Amamiya Yukiho replied with a smile:

"Please speak~ I will support any idea that Mr. Smiling Fox has~~"

"No, what you're doing makes me feel less accomplished..."

About half an hour later.

Inside the warehouse, Shizuka Hanazawa kept trying to break free from her restraints.

However, the demonic power within her was still like a French fry that had been fried for hours and then soaked in water—soft and limp, unable to harden.

Damn it...get hard, you bastard...

boom!

Hey?

Just as she was wailing in her heart, the strongman guarding her suddenly collapsed in front of her!

what happened?

She turned her head in surprise and saw a tall man with long, flowing hair, who looked like a lion!

Looks a bit familiar...

Wait, could it be the same one who came last time...?

"Sata Kunishimichi of the Cloud Sea Casino!?"

"Shh!"

Sada Kunishirō covered Hanazawa Shizuka's mouth with his hand and whispered, "Quiet, I'm here to rescue you!"

"Okay, okay!"

Shizuka Hanazawa nodded with a look of surprise.

Seeing Hanazawa Shizuka's expression, Sada Kunishimichi secretly curled the corners of his mouth in a corner where she couldn't see him, thinking to himself:

what.

Even people who usually travel outside the village have this reaction.
