The girl's voice sounded like she was coquettishly talking to her loved one.

[Ding! Toyama Kazuha has developed feelings for you; current affection level is 4.]

Chapter 287 Takeda Tomoe Begging for Her Life

Chi Chufeng walked down the corridor, the smile on his face gradually fading.

Something seems wrong with the Takeda family; Hattori Heiji and Takeda Shinichi have both disappeared.

Using their predictive magic, they found themselves heading towards the mountain where Chi Chufeng had just been.

Going to such a remote place in the middle of the night is definitely not normal.

Instead of chasing after them, Akatsuka Kaze went deep into the inner courtyard of the Takeda family.

He arrived at an old house and knocked on the door.

An aged voice came from inside the room.

"who is it?"

Chi Chufeng said, "I am an Onmyoji from Tokyo. I have some questions for you, sir."

There was a two-second silence in the room before someone replied, "So it's Lord Chichu, please come in."

Chi Chufeng pushed open the door.

The old lady was kneeling on a prayer mat, devoutly bowing before the Buddhist shrine in front of her.

Chi Chufeng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the strange statue in the shrine.

"29. Is the statue in the Buddhist shrine the legendary Spider Fairy?"

Chie Takeda nodded.

Chi Chufeng said, "Old man, could you tell me the legend of the Spider Fairy?"

Chie Takeda glanced at Akatsuka Kaze, then slowly turned around and began to speak.

"Legend has it that there once lived a beautiful woman in this place called Puppet Ridge."

"Whenever travelers from all directions passed through this place, she would stop them and ask, 'Do you believe in a paradise on earth?' or 'Would you like to go there and be happy?'"

"At this time, travelers with weak wills will be tempted by the beauty of women and agree without thinking. They will then disappear into the forest and never return."

“After hearing about this, a puppeteer came up with a solution.”

He placed a life-sized puppet on the road to attract the beautiful woman.

"Not long after, the beautiful woman appeared and started asking him the same questions."

"Of course, the puppet wouldn't answer her question, so the woman tore off her disguise, revealing her true form as a spider, and began to attack the puppet."

"Upon seeing this, the puppeteer shot the spider with the rocket he had brought, and the spider, now engulfed in flames, fled into the forest in a panic."

"When the puppeteer went over, he discovered that the large spider and the other small spiders had all been burned to death in their own nest."

"Later, the people here were afraid of being cursed by the spider, so they built a shrine and worshipped the 'Spider Fairy' for generations."

"From then on, this place was called 'Puppet Ridge'."

After finishing her story, Chie Takeda felt a bit thirsty and took a few sips of water from the ceramic cup next to her.

Chi Chufeng looked at her and asked, "So where is the legendary spider's nest?"

After a moment of thought, Chie Takeda said heavily, "I don't know the exact location either. When I was a child, I heard from the elders in my family that it was on the mountain where Misa was buried."

Sure enough, that's where Akatsukaze and Toyama Kazuha had just been. Maybe the cave they saw with the Eye of Space is the Spider's Nest.

However, the spiders there didn't seem to have been wiped out.

Chi Chufeng looked at the statue and asked, "I heard that the Takeda family once had a shrine dedicated to the Spider God?"

Chie Takeda nodded.

"The puppet warehouse used to be an ancestral hall. Xin Yi didn't listen to advice and demolished the ancestral hall six years ago to build this puppet warehouse."

"Three years after the warehouse was built, karma struck. My granddaughter Misa and daughter-in-law Kinuyo both hanged themselves in that warehouse, and later Negishi also died there..."

Chi Chufeng frowned slightly.

"In that case, why doesn't Mr. Takeda choose another place to manufacture puppets?"

After a moment of silence, Takeda Tomoe said in a deep voice, "Because only the puppets made in the entire Takeda family have a spirit."

Spirituality?

Chi Chufeng's heart stirred.

Spider fairy, puppet, spirit.

They seem to be closely related.

He used his spatial eye to look inside the puppet warehouse, and found nothing unusual about 470 passing through walls and breaking through barriers.

However, after going down more than ten meters underground, a hollow appeared, dark and its destination unknown.

Chi Chufeng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had figured something out.

He stood up to say goodbye and turned to leave.

Takeda Chie watched his retreating figure, a pleading look flashing in her eyes.

"All these sins are my fault. I hope to use my life to protect the Takeda family from this calamity."

The old man's voice echoed in the dimly lit room.

In another house in the village, Pu Siqinglan was lying in bed.

Suddenly, a door opened inside the room, and Chi Chufeng walked out.

Without needing to say more, the magical slaves have received their orders.

Pu Siqinglan got up, took off her clothes, changed into a black bodysuit, and equipped herself with guns and other weapons.

Then, following Chi Chufeng, they entered the spatial gate.

Thank you sky夏陌 for the donation.

Chapter 288 What exactly do you want to do?

On the hillside where Misa was buried, in front of the cave entrance halfway up the mountain, Hattori Heiji and Takeda Shinichi finally arrived.

Hattori Heiji was panting heavily.

He couldn't understand why they would walk such a long distance in the middle of the night.

A young and beautiful woman stood at the entrance of the cave, and a sad expression appeared on her face when she saw the three of them.

She covered her mouth and said, "Mommy, you...you really brought Daddy?"

Juandai glanced at her daughter, then turned to look at Takeda Shinichi, and nodded indifferently.

"He's the one who caused all of this. If it weren't for him, my daughter and I wouldn't be in this situation now..."

Completely bewildered, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but interrupt their conversation, asking, "Mrs. Kureshiro, isn't your daughter alive and well? Why do you say she's dead?"

Misa looked over curiously, "Mother, who is this?"

“He is a high school detective I hired. His father is the Superintendent of the Osaka Prefectural Police. If he disappears here, there will definitely be a lot of police searching for him.”

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji was stunned.

"Mrs. Juan, are you my client? But what do you mean by that? Why have I disappeared?"

Juan turned around, looked at him, and smiled.

"Detective Hattori, my name is Takeda Kinyo, and this is my daughter, Takeda Misa. Do you remember me?"

As she spoke, she twisted her waist.

Heiji Hattori felt something loosen around his neck.

His mind suddenly cleared, and he remembered what he had seen and heard at the Takeda residence.

"What? You're Takeda Kinyo, and she's Takeda Misa? Didn't you both die three years ago???"

Heiji Hattori sensed that something was amiss.

He turned his head and looked at Takeda Shinichi beside him.

Shinichi Takeda stood there, eyes glazed over, completely dumbfounded.

By the bright moonlight, a white line could be seen running from his neck down to the bottom of Takeda Kinyo's kimono.

Hattori Heiji's eyes suddenly widened, filled with terror.

He lowered his head suddenly.

Sure enough, the same white line wrapped around his neck and led him to the same destination.

"You, what on earth do you want to do?"

Hattori Heiji's teeth were chattering.
