My aunt is a fox

"Non-recyclable garbage?" Li Muzhi frowned, and the news he saw in the morning appeared in his mind, about the citizens holding signs protesting outside the garbage disposal site.

At this moment, he seemed to connect all the clues together. The Tsukumogami was born from human feelings towards objects, the various figures produced rapidly in modern society, the powerful and convenient second-hand trading platform, and the fact that otakus with strong emotions can use secretions to accelerate the weirdness of objects in a certain sense, all of which are connected together.

"Let's go!" Li Muzhi stood up, took out his cell phone and called Fujiwara Ayumi. After two rings, Fujiwara Ayumi's concise voice came from the other end of the line: "What's the matter?"

"I roughly know where the manipulator behind this incident is, but we need a large-scale method to detect monsters." Li Muzhi explained his speculation to Fujiwara Ayumu. If his speculation is correct, then the monster that manipulated all this should be hidden in the garbage recycling yard. Only there are enough monsters to cultivate a monster with powerful enough power to cover Tokyo.

"I understand. I will send all the members of the Special Affairs Bureau to the garbage recycling station for a large-scale investigation." Fujiwara Ayumu did not doubt Li Muzhi's guess at all and agreed directly: "Wait for my news."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shangshan Xiaxiang listened to Li Muzhi's phone call in its entirety, and looked timid. She asked in a low voice: "Is it really like this? Just like in the movie, those dolls kill people with knives."

"It's just a guess." Li Muzhi shook his head and looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna who was sitting quietly beside him, and expressed his doubts: "Mom, according to the legend, the Fusangshen should protect the master, right? Why do these... murders happen?"

"I don't know. Some so-called experiences are useless in this era." Tsuchimikado Setsuna still covered half of his face with his folding fan. He leaned back against the pillar of the house, closed his eyes, and was as quiet as a beautiful painting. His voice was ethereal: "Modern society is developing too fast. Old people like me can no longer keep up with the times. I can only stay here quietly to bask in the sun, hoping that my children can take time to come back and visit me often~"

"Hey, don't make it sound like it's real." Li Muzhi pursed his lips. Although Tsuchimikado Setsuna had a mature temperament, she looked no more than 25 years old. If she didn't often drive while talking, Li Muzhi would still be happy to come over and accompany this nominal stepmother often.

Tsuchimikado glanced at him out of the corner of his eye with a half-smile on his face. He stretched his feet out from under Jiaoyue's robe and gently stroked Li Muzhi's thigh with his toes.

"Ahem..." Li Muzhi coughed lightly, and seeing that Shangshan Xia Xiang didn't look at him, he quickly reached out and held her foot in his hand, and began to rub it, as if he was hammering an old lady's foot.

The two did not go anywhere else. Rather than facing an unknown attack, it was safer to stay at the Seimei Shrine. There were some old-style buildings here, which made people feel that the flow of time had slowed down. Basking in the sun, they felt lazy.

Fujiwara Ayumu was very efficient and called in the afternoon to say that he had found a clue according to Li Muzhi's speculation.

"This is it." Fujiwara Ayumu was still wearing a men's suit, with long hair tied up behind his head, looking capable and serious: "We detected a strange demonic power underneath this."

Ayumu Fujiwara was pointing at a rusty wire fence. Inside was a factory, but it had obviously been abandoned for many years. There were weeds everywhere, and the walls were covered with moss and some unnamed plants growing in a random pattern.

She was surrounded by dozens of members wearing the same black suits as her, obviously personnel from the Special Affairs Bureau. When they saw Li Muzhi appear with Uesugi Xia Xiang, they all looked at her with admiration and excitement, like fans, as if they had seen their own idol.

This made Li Muzhi feel a little embarrassed, and he pointed at the factory and asked, "What kind of factory is this?"

"The garbage is recycled and processed harmlessly." Fujiwara Ayumu said, "It was abandoned more than ten years ago because the operating costs were too high."

"And then chose the most cost-effective but irresponsible method of incineration?" Li Muzhi shook his head, walked forward and pushed open the iron door. There was an unpleasant metal friction sound, and some iron filings fell from it. It was obvious that no one had been in for a long time.

Li Muzhi walked in front carrying Tongziqie, and the others followed with their weapons drawn. Their expressions were all very serious. Only Uesugi Xia Xiang stood in the middle of the crowd, looking left and right.

This abandoned factory was not as complicated as one might imagine, nor did it have any of the weird elements from horror movies. Apart from being a bit deserted and dusty, there was nothing strange about it.

"Is this really the place?" Li Muzhi held Tongziqie and looked around vigilantly, but found nothing unusual.

"We just discovered that there is demonic power here, but we are not sure where it is." Fujiwara Ayumu also shook his head: "This time the monster has a strong hiding ability."

"Does that mean that if the opponent hides, we won't be able to find him at all?" Li Muzhi frowned. This was very troublesome. With the opponent's ability to control figures from a long distance, if he hid and attacked from a distance, he would be a very troublesome opponent.

"That..." Shangshan Xiaxiang suddenly spoke up with a timid expression, pointed in a direction and said: "Is that what you are looking for..."

"What?" Li Mu was stunned. He looked over where her finger pointed and saw a humanoid creature leaning against the wall. Perhaps it cannot be called a creature, but a life-size figurine wearing a kimono and biting a bamboo in its mouth.

"It's the ability to reduce presence." Fujiwara Ayumu said, and at the same time, a white ball of light appeared in her hand, wrapping up her hands. She had obviously entered combat mode.

Other members of the Special Affairs Bureau also raised their weapons and aimed at the doll.

"Are the action figures made this big now? And why does it look a little familiar?" Li Muzhi was not nervous at all. This doll was about 1.6 meters tall, and its body proportions were obviously made in a one-to-one ratio based on human proportions.

"This is a silicone adult doll." Shangshan Xiaxiang hid behind Li Muzhi and whispered, "It looks familiar because she was a popular second-dimensional character in her cosplay."

Chapter 288 Adult Doll, Lin

"Oh my~ I've been discovered." The adult doll hiding in the corner suddenly stood up. The kimono on her body swayed with her movements. Combined with her delicate loli face, it was like a two-dimensional character walking into reality.

This strange scene made the atmosphere on the scene tense to the extreme in an instant. Shangshan Xia Xiang quickly retracted his head and hid behind Li Muzhi, not daring to stick his head out.

Li Muzhi raised the Tongziqie, and a dark red evil aura was emanating from the blade. If the adult doll in front of him showed hostility, he would step forward and kill her without hesitation.

"Don't be so nervous, I already know that I am Tsukumogami, a god born to protect mankind~" The girl in kimono spoke in a cheerful voice, like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

"You can monitor the outside world through the doll." Li Muzhi immediately thought of the doll he had been carrying with him today that he had brought from Uesugi Xia Xiang's house. From the words of the kimono girl, he could tell that she had obviously heard the conversation between him and Tsuchimikado Setsuna today.

"Yes~ Call me Lin." The girl Lin did not hide anything. She jumped up and looked like a cute girl who was not aware of the world. She looked at Li Muzhi and said, "Would you like to come and see my factory?"

"Your factory?" Li Muzhi pointed to the factory building behind him and said, "This is what you are talking about."

"Yes, I have completed a better world." Lin said as she skipped ahead and waved to Li Muzhi and the others: "Come on, come on~"

Li Muzhi and Fujiwara Ayumu looked at each other, nodded to each other, and immediately understood what each other meant.

Fujiwara Ayumu and most of the members of the Special Affairs Bureau stood outside, while Li Muzhi, Uesugi Xia Xiang and six members of the Special Affairs Bureau followed Lin into the factory.

Everyone walked through the corridor. The layout here was different from that outside. The gray feeling was gone and it seemed much cleaner.

"This is it." Lin walked to an iron gate and pressed a button on the wall. The tightly closed iron gate slowly opened, and the scene inside appeared in front of everyone.

The originally abandoned factory is like a precision machine, running at high speed. Body parts are produced from the assembly line and then automatically assembled into adult dolls of different shapes.

"What is this!" Li Muzhi was stunned by the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but walk forward and look at these dolls that were produced on the assembly line, arranged and placed together, and were as tall as a person.

The heights range from 1 meters to 2 meters, and the chest sizes range from A to G, with all kinds of combinations available.

"Touch~" Lin snapped her fingers with a smile, and one of the dolls suddenly opened its eyes, walked to Li Muzhi like a human, and bowed slightly.

"Uh..." Li Muzhi glanced at the doll. Although he knew it was just an adult doll, her every move was no different from that of a human, and he could even see the same texture on her skin as that of a human.

It was like a real beauty, standing naked next to him.

Li Muzhi glanced at the six people behind him from the corner of his eyes. They were also looking at him with surprised eyes. He quickly coughed twice and shouted angrily: "I am not such a person. Don't try to bribe me with this kind of thing!"

"Ah?" Lin tilted her head, as if she was confused by what he said, and said innocently: "Touch her and see if her skin is the same as that of humans."

"Oh." Li Muzhi nodded and put his hand on the doll. It was just as Lin said, very similar to human skin, but there were still some slight differences. For example, Uesugi Meiki's body was very soft. When he put his hand on it and applied light force, it was as if he was sinking into it, and the liquid flowed out between his fingers and could be easily kneaded into various shapes.

Arima Yanobu is much firmer, and you can feel the muscles underneath. The senior is somewhere in between the two, and the feel is different in different parts.

These dolls are different. Although they try their best to imitate human skin, the feel is still slightly different.

Li Muzhi didn't know what Lin wanted to do, but he still said truthfully: "It's a little different from real human women."

"Well, it's okay~" Lin said with a smile: "My target is those two-dimensional people, they have never touched human women."

"This is real too..." Shangshan Xiaxiang carefully withdrew his hand and whispered, "These actually have adult functions."

"Ahem..." Li Muzhi coughed twice and looked at Lin: "Who on earth are you? An ordinary Tsukumogami can't possibly do this!"

"What am I?" Lin tilted her head, as if thinking, and pointed to the garbage pile outside the factory and said, "I should be a collection of Fusangshen."

Li Muzhi was not too surprised by this answer. In fact, he had already guessed it, but he did not expect Lin to show no malice at all.

Li Muzhi asked directly: "You mentioned the plan just now, what is your plan?"

When Lin mentioned this, her eyes seemed to light up. She pointed at the adult dolls and said, "I want them to never be abandoned~"

"Uh..." Li Muzhi had a strange expression on his face. He had never expected this answer. He pointed at the adult dolls around him and said, "What does this have to do with your plan?"

"If it doesn't get damaged, it won't be abandoned." Lin smiled and pointed to the machine being produced. "Each Fusangshen will have a body, and it can be replaced at will according to the owner's preferences."

Then he pointed to a 1-meter-tall loli figure and a 4-meter-tall tall figure and said, "No matter what kind of animation is popular, you can find the corresponding figure among these bodies, so that you can always be loved by the master."

"But your faces all look the same." Li Muzhi pointed at the puppets of different body shapes around him.

"Well..." Shangshan Xiaxiang leaned close to his ear and said, "In fact, female anime people all look the same. It's mainly because of the clothes and hairstyle. Of course, you can't tell if they take them off."

"Ahem..." Li Muzhi coughed twice: "So what is your purpose in doing this?"

"Purpose?" Lin tilted her head and looked at the garbage dump outside the factory, and said, "Humans are our creators. I don't know what kind of feelings you have towards your creations, but... we, the creations, love humans."

"This..." Li Muzhi was a little confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Once you have these convenient bodies," Lin pointed at the adult dolls, "you can help your masters do everything, do housework, stay with them all the time, and meet all their needs. That way, you won't be abandoned."

"Wait..." Li Muzhi's face darkened, and he suddenly thought of the seriousness of the matter. If Lin's plan was really realized, it would be a slow extinction plan for mankind.

Chapter 289 A plan for everyone to be happy

"I have to stop you." Li Muzhi raised the Tongziqie, with the blade pointed at Lin: "If you allow your plan to be implemented, it will cause irreversible changes to the order of this world."

"Isn't change good?" Lin tilted her head. Although she was an adult doll, her expression was as rich as a human's. "We won't be unreasonable, we won't make any material demands, and we won't betray. All we want is the master's love. Isn't such a change good? Everyone can be happy."

"Uh..." Li Muzhi was speechless. He was not good at talking and couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while.

"No!" Shangshan Xiaxiang poked his head out from behind him and shouted at Lin: "This is not love at all. Love only exists between people."

"Love?" Lin took a step back and placed her fingers on the towering chest of the adult doll, gently stroking it: "So-called love is just a substance secreted in your brain that makes you want to have the next generation with an excellent person of the opposite sex. All human behaviors are automatic stress responses made by your body."

After saying that, he pointed to the puppet behind him and said, "We are different. We can be absolutely rational. We will dedicate everything we have to humanity."

"No..." Shangshan Xiaxiang's fighting ability was obviously not very good. After being simply denied, he was speechless. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he finally shoved out a sentence: "But after being with you for a long time, I will get tired of it, and human personality and behavior will keep changing. Two people live together, get along together, grow old together, and change from love to family affection. This is the feeling between partners!"

"It's just that we can't find anyone who's 18." A man in black behind him whispered.

"Family~" Lin just looked at her with a smile and snapped her fingers. A mature woman in her thirties stood out from the dolls behind her. Compared with the young girl doll just now, her body was much fuller, teardrop-shaped, and curvy.

Lin pointed at the doll and said, "If the owner needs it, our identities can change at any time, whether it's mother, aunt, sister, or grandmother."

Then he pointed to another 1.4-meter-tall, poor loli-shaped doll and said, "Of course, sister, daughter, or pet is fine."

"What the hell is a pet..." Li Muzhi took a look at the loli-sized doll. The craftsmanship of these dolls was obviously one level higher than those on the market, and they looked almost the same as real people.

Shangshan Xiaxiang was about to speak, but Lin said first: "Don't worry about the personality. Whether it is tsundere, innocent, black-bellied, three-no, sharp-tongued, childhood friend, absolute domain, nymphomaniac, twin ponytails, animal ears, mouth habit, queen, no iron cannon, glasses girl, two-color pupils, maid, you can set it as you like."

After saying this, he puffed out his chest and said, "We have also reserved space for future talent development. No matter which anime character's personality, we will make a backup simulation to make it more realistic than the original, and there will definitely be no character collapse."

"But these are all fake!" Uesugi Xia Xiang quickly retorted.

"What do you mean by real?" Lin refused to give in: "Those anime characters are designed, so are my feelings for them fake?"

"This..." Shangshan Xiaxiang felt that this question was too brain-burning and had risen to a philosophical level. It was difficult to answer it with her IQ.

"If everything is really for humanity as you said, then what about those deaths?" Li Muzhi mentioned the unexplained deaths of otakus that were being investigated, and there was no doubt that they were done by the Tsukumogami.

"I'm not the only Fusangshen." Lin explained without hiding anything: "They were born from human emotions, but because of human indecision, they developed hatred for humans."

"Is that really the case..." Li Muzhi nodded. He was not surprised by her answer. This was consistent with his guess. Since second-hand transactions are too frequent in modern times, those figures are resold to each other by otakus. After absorbing enough emotions, those figures become Tsukumogami. The strong emotions made their love turn into hate, and they began to retaliate against the otakus, which led to the recent deaths.

Lin in front of us is from the human faction. She loves humans, so she created this factory. If her plan is implemented, the conflict between modern humans and Tsukumogami will no longer exist.

Li Muzhi is also unable to stop modern second-hand transactions because the rapid development of the manufacturing industry has made it an established fact that humans no longer cherish objects.

There is no doubt that Lin, the god of mourning, is not only an idealist, but also a pragmatist, and her plan can fundamentally solve this incident.

Li Muzhi glanced behind him and saw the six members of the Special Affairs Bureau who had followed him had complicated expressions, as if they were ready to surrender to the enemy at any time.
