Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Chapter 171 When the fox shows off, the spider gets beaten up.

The demonic voice of Xu Jianli quickly spread throughout the small village.

Satoshi Satoshi and Shizuka Hanazawa, who were hiding in the ramen shop, received the signal and were both startled.

Has the plan really gone wrong?

They exchanged a glance, then immediately sprang into action, first pouring venom onto the spiderweb nodes beneath their feet, then splitting up to head to other locations.

Shortly after they parted, Hideyuki Hoshino sneaked over.

He didn't run away with the divine shed at all. Instead, halfway there, when he saw that Amamiya Yukiho and Sumi Risa were already fighting, he turned back.

At that moment, he first transformed into Sasaki Satoshi, then blocked Hanazawa Shizuka's path, and said in a deep voice:

"Hanazawa..."

Hanazawa Shizuka was taken aback, then frowned, took a half step back warily, and asked, "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

I want you to stop.

"You don't want the barrier to recover?"

Hanazawa Shizuka sneered: "Heh, as expected, as expected, you are the traitor!"

Hoshino Hideyuki shook his head and said in an exaggerated, theatrical recitation tone:

"Betrayal? No, I call this abandoning darkness for light."

"My dear Hanazawa, don't you think we're on the wrong path?"

"They kill and eat people without restraint, sacrificing the entire village to nourish themselves. This completely exceeds the bottom line that worldly order can tolerate, and is even more despicable than the excrement of a jumping insect that has been sprayed with frog urine!"

"What good would it do for us, adults like us, to leave the village? We'd be rejected by the world, so how could we last?"

"Having been to Tokyo, you should understand this better, right?"

"So give up and come with me to accept the teachings of Inari. If you remain stubborn and want to continue to accompany Lord Sumi, you will only face certain death!"

Shizuka Hanazawa's lips twitched, and after holding back for a few seconds, she finally burst out laughing.

"Is that all you're thinking?"

"So what if people kill and eat people? Humans eat each other all the time. I know this very well because I've been to Tokyo!"

"Johnny Kitagawa has harmed so many people, but who cares? He can still make a living as a celebrity!"

"You old geezer, you haven't been running the village for so long that you've developed feelings for it, have you?"

Alara.

Hideyuki Hoshino blinked, and then laughed out loud.

The reason he was talking nonsense was simply because he felt he had to say something when impersonating Satoshi Sasaki; otherwise, standing there like a scarecrow would seem too fake.

Unexpectedly, Shizuka Hanazawa's rebuttal was quite sophisticated.

Well, that's not entirely unreasonable; people do eat each other... But if that's all humans do, then neither Tokyo nor any other city in the world would ever have been established.

Humanity and animality are equally prevalent; otherwise, one side would have already won.

You spider, you went to a big city, but when you turned around, all you saw was the latter? Well, that makes sense, after all... you probably only have the latter in your heart.

And then again...

I didn't say I was going to favor one over the other, did I?

Whether it's demons eating each other or humans eating each other...

It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter.

I'm a complete liar!

At that moment, Hoshino Hideyuki shook his head, too lazy to waste any more words, looked directly into Hanazawa Shizuka's eyes, his face full of smiles like a spring breeze, but he didn't budge an inch.

Shizuka Hanazawa frowned and took out a small drum and drumsticks from her pocket.

"Sasaki, it seems you've made up your mind to betray us."

"Don't blame me for not warning you, the master had long anticipated your disloyalty, so he specially gave me a magical artifact to deal with you."

"If you know what's good for you, go back to work now, otherwise, ha!"

Hideyuki Hoshino stood tall and proud!

"come on!"

"I, Satoshi Sasaki, a true man, am not afraid of your methods. Go ahead and beat the drum. If I, Satoshi Sasaki, even flinch once, I'll change my surname to Hoshino!"

Shizuka Hanazawa's eyes widened.

She was surprised; she never expected that the old man she had known for so many years would have such courage!

They're not even afraid of adults anymore; this is no ordinary traitor. We must strike hard!

"Fall down!"

Boom!

Shizuka Hanazawa pounded the little drum!

Immediately afterwards, a faint wail echoed from the tunnel behind Hoshino Hideyuki...

a few minutes ago.

In the tunnel at the other end, the real Satoshi Sasaki discovered that the barrier was not deploying at an ideal speed.

what happened?

If everything is working fine on my end, does that mean Shizuka Hanazawa is in trouble?

Damn it, that stupid woman!

They messed up at such a crucial moment!

He spat and hurriedly prepared to help. Although he looked down on this companion, at this moment, he didn't care about anything else and only wanted to help the adults win!

He quickly approached Hanazawa Shizuka's location, but before he could see her, he first saw Hoshino Hideyuki's back.

Who is this guy?

He's talking to Shizuka Hanazawa? Yes, he must be one of Yukiho Amamiya's people, stopping Hanazawa here!

It's ok!

Watch me ambush him!

Satoshi Satoshi held his breath, his right hand, fingers together, nails long and black, held up like a dagger in front of him, slowly approaching...

Just then, a few scattered words came over.

"I am Satoshi Sasaki..."

"Fall down!"

Huh?

Why is this guy mentioning my name? He's noticed me... Ah!

"Ahhh!"

It hurts so much! It feels like the roundworms in my stomach are starting a nuclear test!

A sudden, sharp pain caused him to collapse to the ground, clutching his stomach and chattering.

Not far away, Hoshino Hideyuki, with his back to him, smiled slightly and opened his arms to Hanazawa Shizuka, saying:

"Is that the only extent?"

"Muda muda muda! (Useless, useless, useless)"

"Don't pity me just because I'm handsome; let the storm rage on!"

Shizuka Hanazawa was stunned.

Why...why didn't it work?

"No, that's not right, I clearly heard a wail just now..."

"Well, you misheard."

"Damn it! You stubborn old man, you asked for this!"

Shizuka Hanazawa gave a low shout and started pounding the drum with all her might. The speed and power were so great that she almost broke the drumsticks!

Hoshino Hideyuki simply shrugged: "That's it? It hurts less than when I pull a hangnail off my finger! Use a little more force, a little more force, didn't you eat? I, Sasaki Satoshi, don't feel any pain at all!"

It hurts!

I am the real Satoshi Sasaki! It hurts so much!

Around the corner behind the fox, Satoshi Sasaki wriggled on the ground, achieving a cross-species degeneration from spider to maggot.

Stop knocking!

That guy is fake!

He realized what had happened, but he could barely make a sound. He could only use his only still-functioning arm to move himself little by little, until finally...

Plop!

Exhausted, Satoshi Sasaki crawled out of the corner, foaming at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground.

"what?"

Shizuka Hanazawa, who was sweating profusely from playing the drum, noticed something was wrong and stopped.

Satoshi Sasaki... has two?

Wait, so that means...!?

Click~

Without a moment's hesitation, Hoshino Hideyuki snapped his fingers, and the blue-green Heart Moon Flame immediately burst into flames, burning the defenseless Satoshi Sasaki to ashes in no time.

He turned his head, looked at Hanazawa Shizuka who had just reacted, his handsome appearance returning to normal, and smiled with a tilted head:
