Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Chapter 169 The fox's rhetoric was a resounding success!

After saying that, Yukiho Amamiya disappeared.

Because she used some kind of stealth spell, no one knows where she has hidden herself again.

In short, the fox failed to obtain the divine molt, and the spiders failed to find Kitagawa, let alone ambush the fox.

The deal between the spider and the fox was like a mantis that had mutated from nuclear radiation and grown to over two meters long, confidently trying to stop a carriage with its forearms, only to find that it was a Type 59 tank rushing down the mountain—a failure that was inevitable.

After returning to the shrine.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

“That Amamiya seems to have known there was a problem there all along,” Village Chief Satoshi Satoshi spoke first. “Sir, I suspect someone leaked the information!”

"Um……"

Xu Jianli sat on the throne and did not answer for a moment.

Meanwhile, Shizuka Hanazawa below frowned.

The only people who knew the full details of the plan were Satoshi Sasaki, herself, and "Sata Kunishimichi," who was involved in its execution.

Satoshi Sasaki would never speak for himself.

Everyone has witnessed the sacrifices and suffering of Sada Kunishimichi. He suffered the most after the plan failed, so who would suspect that he leaked the information?

Everyone will only pity him!

in other words……

You old man, are you subtly criticizing me?

Shizuka Hanazawa glared at Satoshi Sasaki, then suddenly remembered something and said sarcastically, "Speaking of which, Sasaki, Mr. Sada Kuni and I have been staying underground lately, while you seem to be the only one going up and down frequently."

Satoshi Satoshi was stunned for a moment before realizing what Shizuka Hanazawa was saying, and immediately retorted angrily:

"You stupid woman, how dare you criticize me! I need to keep the whole village running, but you just hide here eating and drinking, what do you know!"

Suddenly being called a stupid woman, Hanazawa Shizuka got angry and retorted, "Heh, I know you not only frequently go up and down the stairs, but sometimes you also leave your attendants behind for strange reasons and go off on your own. Nobody knows what you're up to..."

"you……"

Satoshi Satoshi suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard a strange noise and chased after it yesterday. He was speechless for a moment, and could only curse his subordinate for his loose tongue in his heart. He changed the subject aloud:

"Your actions outside the village are truly unknown to everyone, I even suspect that you're the one who lured Yukiho Amamiya here..."

Wow.

Hideyuki Hoshino stood to the side, indicating that he was enjoying the conversation.

When he hypnotized the female general at the hot spring inn, he asked her a few questions about the relationship between Satoshi Sasaki and Shizuka Hanazawa.

According to the other party, these two spiders were originally ordinary Jorogumo from the mountains. They were transformed into yokai after receiving the power of Sumi no Ri, and were among Sumi no Ri's earliest subordinates.

One of them was in charge of the village, and the other was in charge of the outside of the village. Over time, they accumulated a lot of conflicts, and their personalities didn't get along, so they became hostile to each other.

However, in Hoshino Hideyuki's view, this matter has nothing to do with duty or personality.

Instead, the blame should be attributed more to Xu Jianli's laxity.

For example, right now, the subordinates are arguing more and more fiercely, sir, aren't you going to say a word?

Hoshino Hideyuki glanced at the large, wooden-sculpted spider on the high platform and pondered:

Yes.

This guy did it on purpose.

It seems that although she is very powerful, she is actually crippled as a leader because of the fatal problem that she cannot leave Musashi Village, just like an emperor who never leaves the palace.

Satoshi Satoshi, Shizuka Hanazawa, and their spider subordinates are like eunuchs in the inner court and ministers in the outer court, respectively. Thinking about it this way, Sumi, as the emperor, certainly has reason not to want the two of them to get along.

She needs to create conflict to maintain balance.

But that's all...

I still feel like I lack perspective...

How many spiders are you managing, and you're already acting like the Jiajing Emperor? You only have one village on your body, not the whole country. Even with ten spider legs here, you can't "train yourself to look like a crane"!

Hideyuki Hoshino lowered his head and secretly pursed his lips.

Meanwhile, seeing that his two subordinates were about to break off relations, Sumi finally spoke up.

"You two, be quiet."

"Yes, sir!" "I'm sorry, sir!"

Satoshi Satoshi and Shizuka Hanazawa immediately pressed their foreheads to the ground and stopped talking.

"It's not necessarily that someone leaked the information; it's also possible that Amamiya himself noticed the anomaly. After all, someone who dares to call himself the Inari God, even if he only obtained a portion of the power, should not be underestimated."

Sumi said slowly, "At this point, mutual suspicion is just a waste of time. Let's come up with a new plan as soon as possible..."

"On this matter, sir, I have an idea."

Just then, Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly interjected, "However, this idea is a bit risky. It depends on whether you are willing to take the gamble, sir."

"Oh?"

Sumi looked directly into Hoshino Hideyuki's eyes with her eight plus two eyes, remained silent for a short while, and then suddenly burst into laughter:

"Interesting, no wonder he's one of Ruyi Fangzhu's people."

"Tell me about it."

Hoshino Hideyuki grinned, revealing two rows of large teeth. He said loudly:

"Before I begin, I'd like to ask if your spiderweb barrier can be repeatedly opened and closed?"

The reasoning must be understood: "So what if it is true?"

Hideyuki Hoshino blinked:

"Then, my plan is quite simple..."

"I will still take the divine shroud and seduce Yukiho Amamiya!"

"But this time, the destination isn't a node in the spiderweb barrier, but outside the village!"

Upon hearing this, Satoshi Satoshi raised his head and said sternly, "Sata Kuni, do you mean to ask the lord to close the barrier?"

"good."

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded and continued to look directly at Sumi Risa, saying, "My lord, what I am about to say may be somewhat impolite, but please believe me, I simply wish you the final victory!"

“I can understand Mayor Sasaki’s concerns.”

"After all, the existence of the barrier is your important reliance in fighting against Yukiho Amamiya."

"Moreover, the effect of this barrier is so powerful that even if it can be opened and closed, the process will not be easy. The gap created after closing it once may be enough for Amamiya Yukiho to cause some trouble."

"But don't you think there's a misconception here?"

"The barrier is a reliance, but it is also a limitation. It restricts our strategy and forces us to fight Amamiya Yukiho to the death."

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his voice and looked around at the three spiders present:

"Let's think about it from a different perspective."

"If you agree to close the barrier, not only will I be able to leave this place, but more importantly, I will be able to quickly return to the Cloud Sea Casino!"

Hoshino Hideyuki recalled the ability of those people at the Cloud Sea Casino to move between mirrors and water.

He later asked Ryoko Senjougahara and learned that this was a spatial secret technique mastered by the Ruyi Fangzhu, and the principle was the same as that of the cat demon's bell.

Although it seems like you can go anywhere, it's actually extremely restricted, which is why neither the bald man nor Sada Kuni ever used it on the cruise ship.

Nevertheless, this is still quite remarkable; at least it's enough for the fox to use to intimidate people.

Back to the present, Hoshino Hideyuki glanced at the expressions of the spider heads, confirming that they were aware of the gambling den's unique skill, and continued:

"The reason why Amamiya Yukiho dared to stop chasing me halfway today is ultimately because she knew I couldn't escape either, so being cautious wouldn't hurt; I won't lose my divine transformation."

"Then, after you close the barrier, I'll take the Divine Emanation and run away. Would Amamiya Yukiho dare not chase me with all her might? If she slows down even a little, I can return to the gambling den and hand the Divine Emanation over to the boss!"

"This is something she absolutely cannot accept!"

"But you, sir, could easily hinder her slightly during this process. She certainly wouldn't be able to spare any attention to fight back, and you could then take the opportunity to force her to hand over Kitagawa, or at least prevent her from taking Kitagawa with her!"

"As long as we control the initial distance, the strength of the obstruction, and the escape speed, we can both allow you to find Kitagawa, and lure Amamiya Yukiho far enough away to escape back to the gambling den. Finally, you will still have time to restore the barrier, achieving a happy ending where everyone's dreams come true!"

"If you are still worried about Yukiko Amamiya's retaliation afterward, our boss is very willing to join forces with you to kill her!"

"This is my plan! It's an open conspiracy that Yukiho Amamiya had no choice but to confront!"

After Hideyuki Hoshino finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Finally, it was only after reason was given that someone spoke first:

"In this way, the divine transformation will fall into the hands of your gambling den..."

Hoshino Hideyuki immediately replied, "Excuse my bluntness, sir, what use is the molted body of Inari God to you? Especially since Amamiya Yukiho has already taken over this path?"

"I apologize for my intrusion. This plan does indeed carry risks... but sir, as long as you are determined, I believe victory will surely be yours!"

Although he apologized, Hoshino Hideyuki's tone was resolute, and after he finished speaking, he stared straight at Sumi Risa.

"You guy..."

Just as Satoshi Sasaki was about to rebuke Hideyuki Hoshino for his audacity and rudeness, Sumi spoke up.

No, to be precise, he laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

“I should have expected that you people from gambling dens would come up with such a radical plan…”

"However, I'm willing to give it a try!"

Chapter 170 Fox: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, we've been together for a long time!

After agreeing with Hoshino Hideyuki's plan, Sumi said that he had just experienced a great battle and should go and rest.
