Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

at this time.

"Where...where am I?"

"Monster! There's a monster! Help!"

A middle-aged woman who had just been locked up woke up from her coma, gripping the iron bars in terror and looking around. When she saw the patrolling Spider Head, she immediately fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Auntie Jiazi, is that you?"

"Ashu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the woman calmed down a bit. Looking up, she realized that behind the railing of the opposite cave, there was another person locked up. It was none other than the village's former policeman, Naoki Hojo!

but……

Why is he here?

In the woman's memory, last August, Naoki Hojo quit his job as a policeman, saying he didn't want to waste his life in the village, and went to Tokyo with his son to try his luck!

It was precisely because the two men hadn't replied to the village after leaving that she, missing her son, took leave from the hot spring inn and planned to go to Tokyo!

Countless questions swirled in her mind, and the woman asked in a trembling voice, "A-Shu, what are you doing here...?"

“Aunt Yoshiko, we didn’t even go to Tokyo. As soon as we left the village, we were kidnapped by these spiders.”

Naoki Hojo sighed and then said:

“It’s not just us. Look around, many of the people who left the village in recent years have been locked up here.”

The woman turned her head and looked around carefully. Sure enough, she saw many familiar faces, but they all looked numb and didn't react to her gaze at all.

Instantly, her face turned as pale as paper.

"How could this happen... Why did this have to happen..."

After muttering to herself for a while, she suddenly took a deep breath, mustered her strength, and shouted at Hojo Naoki, "Naoki, where's Hiro? Do you know where he is?"

Xiao Hong is her son's nickname.

"He used to live next door to me, but now... I'm sorry, I don't know. He was taken away three days ago, and he's probably been drained of his life force, leaving only skin and bones..."

"W-what do you mean?"

When confronted with the woman's questions, Naoki Hojo hesitated for a moment, seemingly worried that she might not be able to bear hearing too many cruel things at once.

But then he thought, since he's already been caught, what else can he not endure? A short pain is worse than a long one, so he might as well say it.

Then he raised his thin, withered arm and said to the woman:

"The spiders come to suck human bodily fluids from time to time."

"A person who absorbs too much in a short period of time will die."

"And then the spiders would drag his body away, peel off his skin, and let their kind crawl inside."

"That's how the village chief Satoshi Sasaki was created. He's actually a monster in human skin. The real Satoshi Sasaki died long ago."

After hearing these words, the woman remained silent for a long time.

The devastating news, delivered in a short period of time, completely broke her spirit.

buzzing.

In a corner they weren't looking at, a fly quietly flew away.

At this point, the fox had no desire to complain.

He recognized the woman who was being held captive as the cook he had met once at the hot spring inn.

Furthermore, through the conversation between the woman and Ashu, he clearly realized that this was a den of demons, a modern mini version of Lion Camel Ridge.

If Kitagawa's account of the timeline is accurate, this den of iniquity has existed for at least several decades.

Over the decades, as Musashi Village declined, one villager after another tried to go to the big city, yearning for a new life, only to be dragged into this dark and hopeless underground, drained of their blood and tears, and used as bait...

Some of them were even reused, turned into tools for the spiders to change their appearance and control the village...

Over those decades, how many people have died?

hiss……

That Sumi Riki was once a god, how could he have fallen to this state?

No, it could also be that way by nature, since some minor Japanese gods are indeed not much different from yokai (supernatural beings).

But it doesn't matter.

The reason why it turned out this way is no longer important.

In the bedroom, Hoshino Hideyuki sighed softly, lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep, but actually kept his eyes open, staring blankly at the dark ceiling...

A moment later, he stood up and chatted with the spiders that were watching him, still grinning as before.

About an hour later, more than an hour had passed.

boom!

On the ground, a ball of fire exploded on the roof of the village chief's office.

Several spider heads rushed out of the house, looking at the roof. They saw the dancing flames faintly coalescing into an eight-tailed fox, which spoke to them:

"I understand, let's make a deal..."

Twenty minutes later.

Hoshino Hideyuki was called to his feet and brought back to Sumi Rin.

"Yukiho Amamiya wrote to me."

The giant spider raised its chelicerae and said, "She wants to meet us tomorrow at noon in the small square south of the village to exchange Kenichi Kitagawa for her divine molt."

As she spoke, she looked at Hoshino Hideyuki and said, "Just as you said, what she wants is a divine transformation."

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and bowed slightly, then asked, "So, sir, do you intend to make this deal with her?"

"of course not."

Xu Jianli's eight eyes all rolled around as he said:

"The feud is settled."

"If I truly return the divine form to her, and she one day becomes the complete Inari God and comes back to take revenge, what should I do?"

"Let's take this opportunity to kill her here!"

"Sata Kuni, I've devised a plan that needs your participation..."

Sumi gave Satoshi Satoshi a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward, took out a map of Musashi Village, and continued in Sumi's place:

"Not far from that small square, there is a ramen shop that has already closed down."

"There are spiritual veins gathering beneath the ramen shop, which is also a major node in the spider web barrier. Adults' power can be greatly enhanced there."

"So our plan is to find someone fast enough during the transaction, but not easily killed by Yukiho Amamiya, to take the Divine Transformation away and lure her here."

"If we succeed, you can unleash your full power, and Yukiho Amamiya will surely die!"

“Mr. Sada Kuni, we believe that you are the only one suitable for this position.”

Uh-huh.

You've chosen the right person!

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and bowed deeply.

"Happy to oblige!"

After the conversation ended, Hideyuki Hoshino returned to his bedroom.

He noticed that there seemed to be a bit more surveillance around him now.

But this meant nothing to the fox.

He conjured up three powerful flies again and had them sneak out quietly.

However, this time their mission was not exploration, but to report to Yukiho Amamiya.

Everything went smoothly at first...

"what sound?"

Unexpectedly, at the hospital entrance, the Hercules Flies bumped into Satoshi Satoshi, catching his attention.

Inside the room, Hideyuki Hoshino frowned.

This is the second time in a row; these spiders have exceptionally developed hearing.

It doesn't even have ears... How can it be this sensitive just by the bristles on its pedipalps...?

No, wait, perhaps this is just right.

The fox smirked and began to manipulate the flies.

He let one of them secretly lie on the wall, hiding silently.

The other two continued to buzz happily, constantly adjusting their positions, luring each other back and forth at the very limit of distance where Satoshi Sasaki could vaguely hear the sounds.

It was like a ten-pound grass carp repeatedly surfacing, blowing bubbles and swishing its tail in front of a fisherman who had gone three days without a catch, almost jumping ashore on its own and then leaping back before the fisherman could react.

Satoshi Satoshi frowned and followed.

His attendant, oblivious to anything amiss, asked curiously, "Lord Sasaki, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear me?"

Satoshi Satoshi, seeing his subordinates' stupidity, was too lazy to say anything more lest they miss his voice. He simply told them to wait where they were and then chased after the fly.

And so, Hideyuki Hoshino hoisted him dozens of meters.

Just as he was about to be caught, Hoshino Hideyuki had two strongmen flies crawl into the roadside sewer, then dispelled the spell, and the fox fur was restored.

Having lost his voice, Satoshi Sasaki was completely disoriented. After wandering around for a while, he could only mutter to himself as he returned to the hospital and rejoined his puzzled subordinates.

After he left, Hoshino Hideyuki once again controlled the remaining flies, sending them flying towards Amamiya Yukiho's hiding place...
