Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"What...what is this!?"

"How can it be!?"

When the fox took this thing out, everyone was shocked. They felt a great terror, which they had only seen in history books, creep up their spines.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Ruyi Fang Master dissipated instantly.

Although he was an old monster born hundreds of years ago, he did seriously study modern knowledge after opening the Cloud Sea Gambling House.

So he recognized it at first glance: it was an atomic bomb! A doomsday weapon embodying five thousand years of human technological advancement! The culprit that once raised Japan's highest perceived temperature to 6000 degrees Celsius!

Is this thing real?

That's probably true, otherwise his intuition wouldn't have led him to frantically call the police!

But how could a fox possibly get its hands on something like that?

That being said, as a great demon, could I withstand an atomic bomb?

Well, it's best not to try it.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. After a moment of silence, the Master of Ruyi Workshop suddenly burst into laughter again, even more heartily than before. The four dots on the front of the dice face curved into crescent shapes.

"Interesting! So interesting!"

"That's right, I admit it, Smiling Fox. I don't dare kill you now. You do have the capital to gamble with me!"

Upon hearing this, the Onmyoji of the Tendou family all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's unknown how the fox managed to pull out such a treasure, there's no doubt that a glimmer of hope has appeared in what was originally a hopeless situation!

How magnificent, Smiling Fox!

However, what the Ruyi Fangzhu said next plunged the young people of the Tiantong family into an ice cave:

"...However, the Smiling Fox."

"If this thing explodes, I'm not sure if I'll die, but you won't survive either, will you?"

"I believe that if I were to kill you, you would be willing to die with me, but if I were to kill someone else, would you still do the same? I'm quite interested in that now~"

Then, the dice head turned to Tendo Asuka: "For example, if I wanted to kill her... oh, it seems that won't work either, so what's next?"

"If I killed someone other than her, would you explode? Two? Three? Hehehe~"

He then turned to the other members of the Tiantong family, his tone sounding mocking, but no one doubted that he would decisively kill them in the next second if he wanted to!

The fox was still smiling, but in his mind he was already thinking about how to use an electric drill to drill two more dots on each side of the die's head.

So you're using salami-slicing tactics to counter nuclear deterrence?

Damn, although I hate to admit it, this trick really works.

After all, this little boy was fake; he could only scare people and couldn't actually detonate it!

If the Ruyi Workshop Master keeps trying like this, he'll be exposed sooner or later!

But then, Hideyuki Hoshino began to think about another problem.

Why did Ruyi Workshop bring so many people here?

With his abilities, he managed to abduct everyone from the remote wilderness, so it should be easy for him to take them to the Cloud Sea Casino. Once inside, who can do anything to him?

However, he didn't do that. Instead, he placed everyone in a spot where they could still see Tokyo Tower. Was it because he lacked the ability and needed a buffer or rest? Or was there some other purpose? For example…

Hoshino Hideyuki glanced once more at Tokyo in the distance, at the dark Tokyo Bay, and at the several plumes of black smoke rising from the city lights, clearly caused by the fire, and squinted.

At this moment, the master of Ruyi Workshop snapped his fingers: "Smiling Fox, why aren't you replying? Could it be that you've forgotten how to reply? This isn't like you."

Hoshino Hideyuki said in a deep voice, "Well, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something very, very important!"

"Oh?"

"The supermarket near my house is having half-price potato chips today!"

Ruyi Workshop Owner & Everyone: "?"

The fox shook its head and said in a serious tone:

"Don't make that face! Half-price chips is a super rare and special event that only happens once a month. Modern life needs a little ritual, so we should cherish this day!"

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, touched his phone and typed a few words blindly. Then he checked to make sure that the hair that Yukiho Amamiya had given him was still close to his body.

Finally, he crossed his arms, looked directly at the Ruyi Fangzhu, and said, "So, I've decided that, in order to get to the supermarket on time, Dice Head, let's stop torturing each other and decide everything in a faster way!"

The owner of Ruyi Workshop narrowed his eyes (referring to the four dots on the front of the dice turning into lines): "Ah~ ah~~ You want to make a bet with me, right?"

"Yes!"

"Excellent, excellent! I love it this way! Hahahaha! So tell me, Smiling Fox, what do you want to bet with me on?"

"Since you want to test me with murder, then let's gamble with one person's life."

Hoshino Hideyuki's gaze swept over the awake young members of the Tendo family: "Pick one person, and within ten minutes, you try to kill him, and I'll try to protect him."

"If I win, you have to let us go. If I lose, I'll deactivate the nuclear weapon and be at your disposal, how about that? While it restricts your actions, it also gives you the opportunity to take me away."

After pondering for a moment, the owner of Ruyi Workshop smiled and said, "Fox, let me remind you, my dice-wielding head is not just for show. Any bets I make, even if they are just verbal, must be carried out, or the consequences will be very serious."

"no problem!"

"Very good, then the bet is settled!"

The owner of Ruyi Workshop spread out his hands: "You choose the person."

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded and looked at the nine people from the Tendo family.

The situation has taken several turns, leaving these people somewhat bewildered.

But after realizing what had happened, the others who had stepped forward earlier swallowed hard, but still met the fox's gaze with unwavering determination—clearly, they were prepared for whatever the outcome might be.

Those who hadn't stepped forward earlier, like Tomoya Tendo, involuntarily lowered their heads, staring at the ground like children watching ants fight, fearing the fox might risk its life.

"Um……"

Hideyuki Hoshino pondered for a moment before slowly walking past the group.

As he passed by Tomoya Tendo, Tomoya felt his heart pounding wildly at first, then slowly relax... Thank goodness, it seems it wasn't him...

"what!"

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but cry out. Looking down, he realized that it was Hoshino Hideyuki who had stepped on his toe as he passed by!

Fox, aren't you watching where you're going?

Just as he was about to start cursing, Hoshino Hideyuki turned around with a look of surprise and earnestly grasped his hand, smiling and saying, "Tomoya, when you spoke just now, were you volunteering to get involved?"

You damned fox, don't talk nonsense!

Who volunteered?

Tendo Tomoya's features contorted, about to retort, when he suddenly heard someone say in his ear:

"That's right, there's an old saying at Dongda University: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Smiling Fox, don't hesitate, choose me!"

huh?

This sound sounds...

How come it looks exactly like me!

Tendo Tomoya was shocked, and then he noticed that Hoshino Hideyuki's mouth was slightly opening and closing, imitating his voice as he spoke!

What are you doing, you damn fox!

You! You, you, you...

"That's wonderful! Tomoya, you're a true warrior! No matter what, I'll remember you, and you'll live forever in my heart!"

...What do you mean by "I'll live forever in your heart"?! Have you already considered me dead?!

Taking advantage of Tendo Tomoya's momentary daze, Hoshino Hideyuki laughed loudly, raised his hand, and turned to Ruyibozu, saying, "Dice Head, it's decided, I'll choose him!"

The owner of Ruyi Workshop nodded, the dice around his neck trembled slightly, turning into a dot at the front, and said in a deep voice: "The bet is settled!"

Tomoya Tendo:

what?

what? !

Don’t do that kind of thing!

Chapter 227 What?! The fox is going to die! (3.8K)

At this very moment, at the Tendo family home.

"The Tono Realm has shattered! And so has the Greedy Wolf's dream!"

"But why weren't Longzhi and the others ejected? Where did they go?"

"It's not just Longzhi's problem, I've discovered that I can't even sense Tanlang anymore!"

"This aura... a powerful being has broken into the secret realm... Damn it, how did they even get in!"

As time went on, the chaotic situation within the Tendo family did not improve; instead, it became increasingly unmanageable.

Seeing the group of seasoned Onmyoji being manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes, the usually elegant Yukiho Amamiya felt she was about to break down.

If this continues, the gods might get so angry that they'll lash out and hurt people!

She looked in the direction that evoked a subtle sense of threat.

With the situation so dire, isn't the mysterious guy hiding inside planning to make a move?

Suddenly, her pocket twitched; her phone had received a new message.

At first, she thought it was a message from the maid, so she impatiently swiped to read it, and then she was stunned.

Because the one who sent the message was a fox!

The message contained only one sentence: The enemy is Ruyi Fangzhu, help!

Amamiya Yukiho immediately perked up.

Ruyi Fangzhu? Yes, it seems to be the great demon who broke into the secret realm!
