Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

"Alright, alright, it's just a few trees..." Kotekawa Kami shook his arm and started digging with a shovel from left to right.

At this moment, a tall man in a black trench coat stood motionless outside the police line at the gate.

He looked up, glanced towards the backyard of the house, scratched the cordon with his long, sharp fingernails, and went inside.

The Tokyo branch fell without any warning. Such a large branch, with a branch president, three executives, and it was gone just like that.

If it weren't for the news, everyone would have thought everything was running smoothly here.

The Calamity Lord, who couldn't contact the Five-Eyed Rat Lord no matter what, suspected that it might have defected. As for the possibility that it had been captured or killed, it wasn't impossible, but it was very small.

The Five-Eyed Rat Lord is cunning and treacherous by nature, with a keen sense of smell. If there is any danger, he will definitely hide immediately.

But after waiting for several days, the disaster still hadn't contacted headquarters, so he couldn't help but wonder if this dead rat had betrayed him, or if it had colluded with that special agent named Ishikawa Yasuhiro to give him the huge Tokyo branch as a reward.

So he came.

Keiji Fukuda: One of the sixteen executives of the headquarters, a great being who was blessed by the evil god and became a new human. He came to Tokyo in person to conduct an investigation.

On one hand, they secretly investigated the background of the special agent named Ishikawa Yasuhiro, while on the other hand, they lurked nearby, waiting for Lord Five-Eyed Rat to appear.

Tonight, the house suddenly smelled of a stranger, and he could tell that the smell was young and full of life... It would be delicious to slice it up and roast it.

He walked towards the backyard, a low chuckle escaping his lips.

In order not to attract the attention of the Tokyo Special Division, he had never dared to capture anyone to eat, but he never expected to have such an unexpected gain tonight.

Keiji Fukuda didn't bother to conceal his footsteps. His cold eyes turned into amber vertical pupils, and his skin became rough and tough, turning into a deep blue.

He walked to the backyard and immediately saw that under a cherry blossom tree, handfuls of soil were being scooped up from the ground.

He watched coldly, his gaze sweeping over the muscular arm that was swinging, and drool immediately dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Quite a good prey!

In the pit, Furutekawa Kami, who was digging with all his might, suddenly felt a deep malice. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the pit, held the shovel in front of him, and looked towards where Fukuda Keiji was standing.

In the pitch-black night, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring intently at him.

Kotekawa Kami's eyes widened, startled and then filled with anger.

Hey you damn monster, what are you looking at!

He threw down the shovel, drew his longsword from his sword scabbard, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Fukuda Keiji, unaware of what he was about to face, spoke in a sinister tone: "You are—"

As Kotekawa Kami charged forward, the surrounding night instantly transformed into a dim, blood-red battlefield.

Fukuda Keiji was furious, but he immediately realized something was wrong. However, before he could make a move, a sword light flashed from his neck, followed by several more sword lights, leaving him completely speechless.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the head of an incredibly ugly, green-skinned monster rolled a long way away.

The headless body collapsed helplessly.

One of the sixteen executives of the headquarters, a new human blessed by the evil god, a great being... He didn't even last a single encounter before going to serve his evil god.

Kotegawa Kami flicked the blood off his sword and gave it a cold glance.

"I'll teach you to scare people in the middle of the night again!"

"Where exactly is the money box buried under that tree?!"

Chapter 115 Digging for Money Boxes (Part 4)

In the cold, dark night, a middle-aged man with a weathered face exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the dismembered corpse beside him, stubbed out his cigarette, and continued digging, shovel by shovel.

"So, did you find anything over there?"

"not yet."

"Then let's work harder, there aren't many trees left."

"Hey Kotegawa-kun, how about I get two excavators to come tomorrow and dig this whole place up? If we keep digging like this, we'll be digging until midnight, won't we?"

"I'll dig for another hour at most. Once I find it, I'll treat you to ramen."

"I'd rather not have ramen, I want to go home and cuddle with my wife to sleep."

Ishikawa Yasuhiro swung his shovel with all his might, somewhat regretting not having brought an excavator over.

"Furutegawa, what kind of monster is that on the ground?"

"I don't know. Take him back later for identity verification and see if there's a reward. If there is, we'll do it the usual way."

"Then would you please come with me on the way back? I don't mean anything by it, I'm just worried that it might come back to life on the way."

"Ishikawa-san, aren't you being a little too cautious?"

"Kou Tegawa-kun, I'm not doing this for myself. It's all for my beautiful wife who I grew up with, and the child in her belly. You know how difficult it is to raise a child, especially a second one, so we have to be extremely careful."

"Oh? Your second child is about to be born?"

"Well, just when I was about to put in the effort, I got a call from you."

"I'm so sorry, next time..."

"Please be sure to call me next time! Whether you're planning to work hard or already working hard, I'll definitely come right away, Kotegawa-kun! That's what our friendship is all about!"

"Um……"

When Kami Kotekawa fell silent, he was momentarily unsure whether he should envy him, or envy him, or envy him.

While slightly distracted, the shovel under my feet suddenly struck a metal box with a loud thud.

Kami Kote was stunned for a moment, then his heart leaped with joy. He shoveled around a few times, bent down and used a little force to lift out the large box, which was about a meter high and buried deep in the ground, and put it on the ground.

Hearing the noise, Yasuhiro Ishikawa, who was eager to have a second child, dropped his shovel and exclaimed excitedly, "Did we find it?"

Kotekawa Kami jumped out of the pit, shone his flashlight around, and cautiously said, "It should be... You step back a bit, I'm opening a box."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa immediately ran away, crouched down at the corner of the wall, and whispered, "I'm done."

Kotekawa Shinji stroked the wooden handle with his left sword finger, releasing his true energy, and the entire shovel shone with a layer of clear light.

He took a deep breath, stepped back a bit, gave a low shout, and swung the shovel vertically down.

A large padlock clattered to the ground.

Kotekawa Kami walked up to it, looked at it, and kicked it open.

There was nothing dangerous in the box, only a few stacks of banknotes and half a box of large glass jars, which seemed to contain beans.

It looks like it's just the Five-Eyed Rat Man's usual pocket money.

Furutekawa Kami, who was hoping to find some treasure, was slightly disappointed.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro dusted off his clothes and walked over. When he saw what was in the box, he was speechless: "Wow, so many Demon Energy Pills! They really have money!"

Kotekawa Kami was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Demon Spirit Pill? Can you eat it?"

“It’s edible, but it’s not for humans,” Yasuhiro Ishikawa explained. “Yoki-maru is food for yokai. Just like shikigami need to consume yin-ki-maru, yokai also need to consume yoki-maru.”

"Yin Qi Pill? Demon Qi Pill?" Kotegawa Kami was a little confused: "But don't yokai eat?"

"Ordinary food can only fill the stomach of monsters, but demon energy pills can accelerate their growth and help them maintain their rationality to suppress their ferocity. Many powerful monsters can even use the demon energy in their bodies as a means of attack... By the way, those monsters in the Evil Spirit Society who are neither human nor demon should also eat this stuff."

Yasuhiro Ishikawa, with his exceptional theoretical knowledge, explained in detail: "Several hundred years ago, before the invention of the Demon Qi Pill and the Yin Qi Pill, only a few highly spiritual demons were willing to live peacefully, like the Spirit Cat Clan; while most demons preferred to devour humans and all living beings in order to accelerate their growth and become stronger. Therefore, at that time, the two sides were always at odds, and they would fight to the death whenever they met; it wasn't until the Yin Qi Pill and the Demon Qi Pill came into existence that we humans and supernatural beings had a little space to coexist. Although incidents of ghosts and demons eating people are still common now, it's much better than it was hundreds of years ago..."

He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "I've always thought that the Demon Qi Pill and the Yin Qi Pill are among the greatest inventions."

Kotekawa Kami listened, completely stunned.

Goodness, this is all knowledge that wasn't taught in the textbooks!

Damn it! That wicked resource... (This part contains forbidden magic, omitted for safety reasons)

He frowned and thought for a moment: "Is this thing very expensive?"

"The pricing isn't fixed. There are two prices for humans and yokai, two prices for those in the Special Department and ordinary people, and another price for those who have a huge demand for Yin Qi Pills, like shrine onmyoji... But to sum it up, apart from yokai, ordinary people are the most expensive to buy Yin Qi Pills. In terms of money, it's about 30,000 yen per pill, and ordinary people can only buy three at a time."

"Thirty thousand per pill? Good heavens..." Kotekawa Kami clicked his tongue. That's really not cheap!

But it's no wonder that the Special Division can afford to pay out any amount of bounty.

“One demon energy pill can sustain a demon’s absorption of demon energy for about a month, so although it’s expensive, it’s still affordable with some effort… They must have done their research when they priced it.” Ishikawa Yasuhiro continued, pointing to the box, “If this box were sold on the black market, one pill could fetch around 45,000 to 50,000 yen.”

Kotekawa Kami's gaze shifted to the large box, his eyes widening in surprise.

Forty-five or fifty thousand per one? That's so much... it's not less than the price of a single [Wild Samurai]!

I thought I had just dug up some beans, but I never expected to have dug up a golden bean.

"They're all mine!" He closed the box with shining eyes, but after a moment's hesitation, he still pulled out a wad of banknotes.

“No, I don’t need it…” Ishikawa Yasuhiro twitched his lips, completely baffled as to why Kotekawa Kamimi loved money so much.

Just the five-eyed rat-man alone, plus its status as a branch leader, is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention the various bounties from before.

"You're too kind! Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Kotekawa Kamimi slammed the lid shut and cheerfully carried it to the car: "The job's done, let's go."

"Wait for me to collect its corpse..." Ishikawa Yasuhiro put on gloves, then a gas mask, blast goggles, a steel helmet, and a bulletproof vest.

Kamiko Furude looked on, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

It was just a corpse...

About twenty minutes later, the car left the North District and headed towards the Special Division of Bunkyo Ward. Ishikawa Yasuhiro, looking relaxed, casually asked, "Kurugawa-kun, are you short of money?"

"Yes, everyone needs it! Who doesn't?"

"No, you've made a lot of money lately, haven't you? And you're still short of cash?"

"Oh, no, but we'll need it later."

"What do you mean?"

"Because I've only just earned enough money to support a third child!"

"?"

"Oh dear, what I mean is, after the third child, isn't there a fourth? We haven't even made money to support a fourth child yet!"
