My aunt is a fox

"I have seen the future." Fujiwara Ayumu stretched out her hand, and the crystal ball slowly floated up in her palm. The light and her expression made her look mysterious. "This boy is an indispensable part in helping you get through this difficult time, so there is no need to hide it."

"Is... is that so?" Marina secretly glanced at Li Muzhi out of the corner of her eye, her face still slightly red, but she still nodded.

Li Muzhi felt that this girl was hopeless. How could she survive to this day with this IQ? But Fujiwara Ayumu still had something. With just a few words, he used the same radio waves as the girl and found a suitable identity for himself.

He glanced at Fujiwara Ayumu, indicating that the crystal chandelier should be dimmed as it was making his eyes dizzy.

Fujiwara Ayumu returned a look, indicating that the crystal ball did not have this function.

Marina was unaware of the eye contact between the two, and blushed as she whispered about what she saw in her dream: "The day before yesterday I fell asleep like usual, and soon I was in a red room."

"The red room?" Li Muzhi narrowed his eyes. He knew that Fujiwara Ayumu wanted to maintain her image as a master, so he took the initiative to ask: "Do you know that you are dreaming?"

His current suspect is the succubus. When it comes to the succubus's dreams, no one has more say than him. He and his senior have studied the mechanism of dreams thoroughly in various senses.

"I don't know." Marina shook her head: "I felt very scared at the time, and Sister Kisaragi appeared behind me."

"Sister Ruyuequn?" Li Muzhi wanted to complain about the name, but he held back and asked, "Can you see what she looks like?"

"I can't see it. It's a black shadow." Marina's face turned red again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then a lot of breasts appeared in front of me. She asked me to guess which one is my sister's. She told me that if I guessed wrong, I would never be able to get out."

"..." Although Li Muzhi had heard it many times, he still felt speechless when he heard this: "So, it will only come out if you guess it right. If you only look at the breasts to tell which is which, it should be difficult."

If Li Muzhi was asked to guess the difference between the chest of the beautiful concubine Uesugi and his aunt, he could tell the difference at a glance because he had used comparisons before. However, this question is actually quite difficult to answer for ordinary people.

When Marina heard Li Muzhi's question, a strange look appeared on her face. She lowered her head and said shyly, "Because... I often take a bath with my sister, so I know."

"I see." Li Muzhi nodded and glanced at Fujiwara Ayumu. Both of them were not ordinary people. They could see that Marina was hiding something from them, but neither of them said it out loud.

"Then why did you come here to see my pants today? Did it give you other problems when you left?" Li Muzhi narrowed his eyes. This was the question he cared about most. He wanted to make sure whether this weirdness was related to him.

"No, she disappeared after I answered the question, and then I got up like usual." When Marina heard this, her face turned red and she explained, "I felt no different from usual, but after coming to school today, everyone was discussing this matter, and then someone said... someone said that Kisaragi-kun's sisters would ask questions about boys, and I was too scared, so I came to find the senior."

"I understand." Li Muzhi nodded. It seemed that the weirdness was not directed at him.

Chapter 336 Strange knowledge increases

There was nothing noteworthy about the following questions. Marina was just an ordinary female high school student. Li Muzhi and Fujiwara Ayumi secretly exchanged glances and ended the conversation.

"I will let the elves protect you, so you don't have to worry about encountering the Kisaragi sisters." Fujiwara Ayumu said as she stretched out her right hand. A glowing elf jumped out from her palm and flew into Marina's hand. In her surprised eyes, the elf sank into her palm as if it had entered her body.

"Really... there really are elves!" Marina was excited. She turned her palm over and over several times, but found nothing different from usual. However, she still clenched her right hand tightly, as if she heard something there.

Li Muzhi could tell at a glance that it was just a visible light source composed of spiritual power, which was equivalent to a lighting special effect. It dissipated the moment it approached her palm.

"That's great. This way Marina doesn't have to worry about the appearance of Kisaragi Gun's sister. I'll take you back." Li Muzhi smiled and helped Marina up.

"Thank you so much!" Marina bowed deeply to Fujiwara Ayumu, then left with Li Muzhi.

The two took the train home together, and Marina seemed very excited. She believed in Fujiwara Ayumi's little tricks and raised her hand from time to time to look at her right hand, as if there really was an elf hidden there.

Li Muzhi accompanied her all the way to her doorstep, which was an ordinary two-story building, nothing special about it, like most Dongguo people's.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for sending me home." Marina stood at the door and bowed to Li Muzhi. Her face was flushed. Being sent home by the school's idol was like something out of some girly novels. She was a little confused: "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"Are your parents not at home?" Li Muzhi began to collect some clues casually.

"They are all on business trips abroad, and there are only my sister and I at home." Marina lowered her head and never dared to look at Li Muzhi. She invited the boy home the first time they met.

And we met because of my strange request. He must think I'm a casual girl.

He might think I invited him for those things, but he saved me, and it would be rude to refuse if he made such a request.

Otherwise just let him bite you, but never if he makes any further requests.

Li Muzhi had no idea what this lovely school girl was thinking. He had just done a simple check and there was no demonic power in the building from the outside.

He planned to go in and take a look, maybe he could find some clues.

Li Muzhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by a clear female voice: "Sister, who is this person?"

The person who was speaking was a girl who was younger than Marina. She had blonde hair and, unlike her cute sister, she had a bit of a bad girl vibe.

She was staring at Li Muzhi, her eyes full of vigilance, as if she was looking at an unforgivable villain.

Li Muzhi glanced at her chest from the corner of his eyes. It was ordinary and had no features. According to Marina, the dream of Sister Ruzuki Gun would not end until she guessed which one was her breast.

But to distinguish this kind of ordinary breasts, you should be very familiar with them. It is not something you can remember by simply looking at them a few times.

"Aili, this is classmate Li. He helped me a lot." Marina hurriedly walked to her sister and tugged at the corner of her clothes with her hand, signaling her not to be rude.

"Hmph..." Ai Li snorted coldly and said nothing, but she was still full of hostility towards Li Muzhi. She protected her sister behind her, as if Li Muzhi was a bad guy who wanted to snatch her sister away.

"I have to go home too." Li Muzhi also knew that now was not the time to investigate, so he smiled gently and waved at Marina: "If you still have trouble, you can come to me."

"Thank you very much!" Marina quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

Li Muzhi waved goodbye to the two men, turned the corner and got into a black car that had been parked there.

He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Fujiwara Ayumu had changed out of that strange outfit and was now sitting in the driver's seat in a black suit.

"There's something wrong with Ai Li." Li Muzhi said directly: "Send someone to monitor and investigate."

"Okay." Fujiwara Ayumu nodded. Now she had a very good understanding of Li Muzhi's intuition. She asked, "I can't see that she has any magical powers. She is just an ordinary person. Is this a special cover-up method?"

"Not necessarily. I'm just guessing." Li Muzhi did not explain. It was difficult to explain this matter clearly because he felt that there was something wrong with Ai Li because of her hostility towards him.

With his good looks and the added charm of the Nine-Tailed Fox, any woman with normal sexual orientation would naturally have a favorability rating of over 60 for him.

Unless there are some antisocial personalities, and Ai Li is obviously one of them.

But if this basis is stated out loud, it would seem too narcissistic.

Fujiwara Ayumu obviously had no intention of delving into this, and began to talk about the clues he had gathered: "This strange story started to spread three months ago. Because it spread too quickly, mainly among students, there is no way to find the source."

"Three months ago?" Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect that this strange story had been spreading for so long. And as far as he knew, this strange story was only recently discussed in the school.

"Yes, we didn't pay much attention to it at first because we thought it was just an urban legend." Fujiwara Ayumu shook his head, looking unhappy. It was obvious that this was a huge mistake made by the Special Affairs Bureau. "We have been investigating since last week."

"Yeah." Li Muzhi nodded. No wonder Fujiwara Ayumu didn't ask Marina too many questions today. It turned out that she had already started investigating: "Can you tell me what the weird thing is?"

"It's still unclear at the moment. We only know that people who encounter it will die of heart failure if they don't answer correctly." Fujiwara Ayumu shook his head: "We can only conclude that this weirdness is spreading through cognition based on the recent increase in the number of deaths."

"Cognitive communication?" Li Mu was stunned. He had never heard of this term.

"Yes, first you have to know her existence, and then you can meet her." Fujiwara Ayumu looked at Li Muzhi and said: "This kind of thing is the most troublesome."

"Very powerful?" Li Muzhi frowned, guessing about the breasts or something. He always felt that this monster was not very serious.

"No, very weak." Fujiwara Ayumu shook his head: "Even self-awareness has not awakened. Maybe C-level strongmen are immune to their rules. These things can't be called weird, they can only be called weird stories."

Fujiwara Ayumu said this, leaning back in his seat, looking frustrated: "But these things are the most troublesome. They will attack ordinary people and automatically find ordinary people who meet the rules. It is also difficult to completely eliminate them. What we can do is to find them and eliminate them while reducing the death of ordinary people."

"The problem is that I'm an upright person." Li Muzhi was speechless: "It's hard to analyze clues from a game like guessing breasts. It feels hard to be serious."

Chapter 337 Stepmothers are all beautiful

"This is the information about the victims who have been confirmed dead as a result of the incident involving the sisters of the Kisaragi group." Fujiwara Ayumu took out a file bag and handed it to Li Muzhi: "The victims are all students. Other than that, no common points were found."

"Do high school students in Dongguo have a physique that attracts ghosts?" Li Muzhi took the information, pulled it out and flipped through a few pages. Just as Fujiwara Ayumu said, there was no obvious similarity between the deceased's appearance and family background.

Li Muzhi flipped through several documents in succession and his brows slowly furrowed.

"Have you found any new clues?" Fujiwara Ayumu noticed the change in his expression and asked immediately. In several incidents, Li Muzhi was always able to find the problem from a unique angle, which made Fujiwara Ayumu subconsciously look forward to him.

"No." Li Muzhi denied, and then closed the information: "I'll take these back first. I will start investigating this matter next. If I need the help of the Special Affairs Bureau, I will notify you."

"Okay." Fujiwara Ayumu nodded. She didn't think Li Muzhi could find the problem so quickly, but she was relieved that he agreed. She believed that no matter how troublesome the problem was, he could solve it perfectly.

Li Muzhi did find some problems just now, but they had nothing to do with ghost stories. The information of the deceased showed the background of family members. After looking through three deceased persons in a row, he found that all of them were from single-parent families and had a young and beautiful mother.

He didn't know if this was a coincidence, but when he saw the fourth deceased, it was not a single-parent family. There were four people in the family, the parents, siblings were all alive, and the deceased was the younger brother.

If you flip further, it's just as confusing, with all kinds of family compositions. The only thing in common is that the female family members of the deceased are obviously better looking than average.

But Li Muzhi was not sure whether these were related to the ghost story itself. The portrait of the deceased was very confusing, just like the form of expression of the ghost story.

"I'll go to Seimei Shrine." Li Muzhi still planned to ask Tsuchimikado Setsuna, perhaps he could get some clues from her.

Although Seimei Shrine is very famous, there are not many tourists here. Most of them come to take a look, and after finding out that it is just an ordinary shrine, they take a photo and leave.

When Li Muzhi arrived at the backyard, Tsuchimikado Setsuna was still sitting leisurely on the wooden steps. When he saw him coming, he turned his head to glance at him with a bright smile on his face, as if he were an elder who had really seen his child return home.

"Mom, I brought you some cakes." Li Muzhi held the cake he had just bought from a roadside dessert shop, put it on the steps, and then began to tell the story of Ruyuequn's sister.

As they were eating cakes, Li Muzhi told them all the clues he knew: "Mom, do you know any clues about Ruyuequn's sister?"

"I don't know." Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and answered more directly than him.

"Uh..." Li Muzhi pursed his lips: "Is there no relevant record in the history of the Tokugawa family?"

"Of course not." Tsuchimikado Setsuna shrugged. "So-called ghost stories are essentially vengeful spirits without consciousness. They are not powerful in themselves. These incidents were easy to deal with in ancient times because the scope of the ghost stories was limited to the scale of a village. Once the real body was found, it could be easily resolved. Naturally, there would not be too many records."

"Very simple?" Li Mu was stunned. This was different from what Fujiwara Ayumu said. According to Fujiwara Ayumu, the Special Affairs Bureau was already overwhelmed by this matter, and no clues had been found so far.

"After a human dies, their soul does not dissipate immediately, but exists in the form of energy. If there is a strong grudge, or the deceased has stronger spiritual power than ordinary people." Tsuchimikado Setsuna began to explain: "Then their souls will disappear for a longer time and be in a state of unconsciousness. However, most of these souls are harmless and will slowly decompose into energy and disappear into the air over time. This is a cycle."

"Yeah, I know that." Li Muzhi nodded. This was the case with Mrs. Songmu. Too many babies' souls gathered together and had become something similar to vengeful spirits. If they had not been eliminated by him, they would probably have become powerful vengeful spirits after some time. However, this was obviously not the same thing as the strange stories he had encountered so far.

"Well, ghost stories have no consciousness, and are fundamentally different from vengeful spirits." Tsuchimikado Setsuna covered his lips with his folding fan: "Ghost stories are created by humans. Human fear attracts a soul that was supposed to disappear, and this soul kills humans. As they spread more and more, and more people are killed, the rules of the ghost stories themselves will become more and more powerful."

After listening to this, Li Muzhi was puzzled. It was obvious that he did not understand what was going on.

Tsuchimikado Setsuna also felt that he didn't understand, and looked over at him: "For example, a child has bad intentions towards his young and beautiful stepmother, and then does something indecent. The stepmother commits suicide out of shame, and then a strange story spreads that this young and beautiful stepmother will appear on the day of her death and kill the child with an Oedipus complex."

“Eh… Although this analogy is a bit strange, I think I understand it.” Li Muzhi nodded: “If a child with an Oedipus complex happens to hear the ghost story and gets scared, the remaining soul of this young and beautiful stepmother will be attracted and she will be killed. The more the ghost story spreads and the more humans are killed, the stronger the rules will become.”

"Yes." Tsuchimikado Setsuna nodded. "In ancient times, there were few ways to spread ghost stories, so even if ghost stories were left alone, they would naturally disappear."

"But in modern society, everything can be spread quickly through the Internet." Li Muzhi immediately understood the actual problem and why the Special Affairs Bureau was so troubled.

"Well, language is spiritual. Many ancient taboos passed down from generation to generation are mostly to prevent these strange stories." Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and said, "Of course, as time goes by, these strange stories themselves have disappeared and gradually become superstitions among young people."

"So I have to find the source of the weirdness and then find a way to solve it." Li Muzhi found that after going around in a circle, he returned to the same place.

We now know that all ghost stories have prototypes, but when it comes to the ghost story about the chest, even if he analyzes it to cerebral thrombosis, he still can't figure out the reason.

"Kaidan has no independent consciousness and will only kill certain people." Tsuchimikado Setsuna reminded: "Because the people who die in Kaidan must have something in common."

"Common points." Li Mu was stunned, thinking of the information he saw during the day, that the mothers of the deceased were all very beautiful.

He looked at Tsuchimikado Setsuna. His stepmother was also young and beautiful. If he followed this logic, wouldn't he also be found by the Kisaragi sisters?

But he was not very clear about the shape of Tsuchimikado Setsuna's breasts, so wasn't that dangerous?
