My aunt is a fox

"Okay, Aunt Zhizi." Li Muzhi was also made a little restrained by her, so he obediently pulled out a chair and sat down.
Tsuchimikado Hyakki was much more generous than him and sat down casually with a smile on his face.
There were several exquisite dishes on the table, which did not make people feel luxurious, but were just the right level.
Michiko sat down after the others were seated: "Student Li is from Yan country, I asked the kitchen to prepare some Yan country dishes."
There were two exquisite plates on the table, filled with a pile of tofu covered in red oil, which was out of place with the surrounding dishes.
There is a row of fried dumplings neatly arranged on the plate next to it, which looks very tempting with its color, aroma and taste.
Li Muzhi didn't like eating mapo tofu, but he still felt that Michiko was very thoughtful.
I really want to believe that such a gentle mother would act as if nothing had happened when Cheng Zihui ran away from home for three days.
As they were talking, the maid who had just accompanied Chie Hisada and Doji Kimura to change clothes came in and bowed:
"It will take some time for your friend to pick out the right clothes."
"Is that so." Tsuchimikado Hyakki smiled and waved his hands: "Then let's eat first, don't let the food get cold, I can't wait any longer."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else to speak, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and put it in her mouth, while shouting:
“This tastes very authentic.”
Michiko watched her movements, her smile not diminishing: "I'll ask the kitchen to reserve some for your friend."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhizi." Li Muzhi had been secretly watching the actions of the Hundred Ghosts. Tricks like food poisoning were too common in movies.
The two had an agreement that Baigui would eat any food first, and if she picked it up twice, it would prove that it was not poisonous.
Michiko looked at Hyakki who was stuffing food into his mouth, with a gentle smile on her face: "The surname Tsuchimikado is rare, is Hyakki a descendant of the legendary Onmyoji?"
"Yes." Tsuchimikado Hyakki raised his head and looked directly at Michiko: "I am the son of Setsuna, the chief priest of Qingming Shrine. Does Aunt Tomoko know my mother?"
She revealed her identity and Li Muzhi hid in the dark, which was also a plan made by the two.
Michiko's expression did not change, her eyes were still gentle: "So you are Setsuna's child. I saw you from afar during a sacrifice. Unfortunately, Setsuna probably doesn't remember me."
"I can introduce mom to Aunt Tomoko." Tsuchimikado Hyakki also smiled innocently:
"My mother is good at fortune-telling and can summon deceased elders to communicate. Aunt Tomoko can ask her if she has any questions."
As she spoke, she looked behind Michiko and said, "Aunt Tomoko, I can see traces of a spirit behind you, which proves that your mother stayed by your side for a long time after her death. This means she was reluctant to leave."
After she finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, their expressions frozen.
The corner of Li Muzhi's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Baigui inconspicuously. The two had discussed testing Michiko.
But Baigui obviously had some misunderstanding about the test. This guy might be deliberately provoking him. If he were Michiko, he would have beaten the shit out of her on the spot.
Michiko was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "After my mother passed away, I suffered for a long time."
"I hope to find a way to communicate with another world, and I may even turn to some vague legends or mysterious props to get a few words from that world."
"But the deceased rests in peace. We cannot disturb the deceased out of selfishness and seek comfort through communication between life and death."
Michiko said, looking at Tsuchimikado Hyakki, and a smile returned to her face: "The living have things that the living should do."
After she finished speaking, she picked up a dumpling and said, "For example, eat well~"
"These dumplings are really good." Li Muzhi agreed immediately. The tense atmosphere just now disappeared instantly, and the table became harmonious again.
As the atmosphere among the few people was getting better and better, in a dark basement in the imperial palace, Chie Hisada's eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Where is this?" Chie Hisada touched her neck, and there seemed to be still a special numbness caused by the electric shock.
"Don't come over here!" A familiar voice suddenly came from a distance.
Chapter 476 Prison and Maid
"Buyer!" Chie Hisada exclaimed. She recognized the voice as that of Doji Kimura, and it came from diagonally in front of her.
Only then did she notice her surroundings. This was an underground cell, with a daylight lamp above providing dim lighting. The surrounding gray-brown walls were blocked by stainless steel bars.
Chie Hisada hurriedly lay down on the stainless steel railing, and through the gap in the railing she could see the same cell opposite.
She looked towards the place where the sound came from. In the cell diagonally opposite, Kimura Doji was having his hands and feet held down by four women.
The women were disheveled, and there were Japanese maid uniforms thrown casually on the ground next to them, which were obviously taken off by these women just now.
"What do you want to do? Don't come over here!" Kimura Tongzhi had a terrified expression on his face. He was pressed to the ground and looked up at the woman who was walking towards him.
The woman undressed with a greedy smile on her face, raised her leather boots and stepped on Kimura Tongzhi: "Don't move, my little princess."
“……” Chie Hisada lay between the fences, staring with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open. She closed her eyes again and rubbed her temples with her hands.
When he opened his eyes again, Kimura Tongzhi had been pinned down by the woman. He could not see his expression, only the sound of constant exclamations.
"What the hell is this!"
Chie Hisada has seen such scenes before. She would occasionally hide under the quilt and check her phone with only one hand.
But most of those works were aimed at men, and now she was encountering them in real life, which made her wonder if she had traveled through time and space into a strange work.
"Those people have been possessed by demons." A soft voice came from behind her.
"Ah!" Chie Hisada screamed, turned around suddenly, leaned back on the railing, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
In the corner of the prison, there was a little girl squatting.
The girl hugged her feet with her hands and huddled in a corner. Because of the dim light, Chie Hisada didn't see it at first.
"We will soon become demons, just like Ogawa."
"Who are you and where are we now?" Chie Hisada reluctantly withdrew her gaze and looked at the girl in the corner.
She was wearing the same maid outfit as outside, obviously a maid here. The clothes were wrinkled, and it seemed that she had been locked up here for quite some time.
"Who is Ogawa?"
The maid girl glanced at her and then pointed to the cell diagonally opposite.
Chie Hisada seemed to still be resisting, but she was no match for the four women.
The scene had begun to turn brutal.
Hisada Chie didn't know who the little maid was referring to, but she could guess that it was probably one of the four people, so she quickly asked, "Will his life be in danger?"
The little maid shook her head: "But he will become a slave to the devil."
"Slaves of the devil?" Chie Hisada turned her head and looked at the cell diagonally opposite. The four women had already used their weapons.
Kimura Doji was no match at all and was beaten until he let out a series of miserable screams.
Chie Hisada swallowed her saliva. The slave the little maid was talking about didn't seem to be a regular slave.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Chie Hisada turned her head and wanted to ask for more information.
Her tone became much calmer, and she was not as scared as she was at the beginning.
Judging from what happened to Kimura Doji, the other party's punishment methods were not unacceptable.
The little maid lowered her head and buried her face between her legs. It seemed that Chie Hisada's question had triggered bad memories for her, and she didn't want to say anything more.
"Damn it." Chie Hisada was upset by the sounds coming from the opposite side.
She slammed the wall hard to vent her emotions.
"This underground cage was used by our ancestors to imprison important officials of noble status." As she knocked on the wall, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from next door, with an elegant tone: "It cannot be opened from the inside."
"Uncle, who are you and why are you locked up here?" Chie Hisada couldn't see the situation in the cage next to her, so she could only put her face close to the edge of the railing and ask.
Before waiting for the next door to answer, footsteps were heard in the distance. Chie Hisada looked over and saw another woman in maid clothes walking towards her.
She was holding an object covered with white cloth in her hand, which looked familiar to Chie Hisada.
The maid walked to Kimura Tongzhi's cell, looked at the few people, frowned and said, "Play later, let's do business first."
"What a bummer." Several maids complained and drew back their weapons. The four of them pressed the dying Kimura Doji from lack of oxygen to the ground.
The maid bent down, placed the prop in her hand in front of Kimura Tongzhi, lifted the white cloth on it, revealing a mirror with an antique shape.
"Yata Mirror!" Chie Hisada covered her mouth. Just now, when she was visiting the treasure house with Prince Ene, she felt something touching her from behind. She turned around and saw this mirror and was frightened.
Now seeing it again, she felt the pants she had just changed into were cold.
The maid who was holding down Kimura Doji's hands forcibly opened his eyes, forcing him to stare at the Eight-foot Mirror.
Kimura Tongzhi's facial expression was confused at first, and then gradually an indescribable joy appeared.
The maid holding the mirror nodded to the other four.
"Let's continue." The maids licked their tongues and their eyes stopped on Kimura Doji.
"Minister..." Chie Hisada saw everything. She watched the minister being humiliated but could do nothing.
Because of the mirror, Kimura Tongzhi's state underwent a strange change, and he seemed to have completely given up struggling and resisting.
Although the willingness to resist was not strong at the beginning, it was completely different from the current situation of actively exercising subjective initiative.
"Oh." A sigh came from the cell next door. It came from the middle-aged man who had just spoken. He seemed to be sighing for Kimura Doji's loss of self-will.
"Uncle." Hisada Chie hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, who are you and why are you so familiar with this place?"
In the restaurant, Michiko put down her chopsticks and looked at the others with a smile: "Ms. Tsuchimikado, can you tell me a weird story?"
Tugumen Baiqi picked up a dumpling and casually threw it into his mouth: "Okay, have you heard of a strange thing called a passing demon?"
"Passing Demon?" Michiko seemed to be interested: "What is that?"
"It is a kind of weirdness that will suddenly appear and disappear, affecting the hearts of humans." Tsuchimikado Hyakki put down his chopsticks and looked at Michiko and said:
"For example, everyone has one or two people they hate, and they want to kill them, but usually they just think about it."
"But what if there is a moment that is particularly suitable for doing something bad?"
"For example, the opponent is unable to resist, and you have a weapon in your hand that can kill him with one strike."
"And you don't have to worry about being discovered. In that moment, you will do it."
“This is what it means to be possessed by a passing demon.”
"Does such a thing really exist?" Li Muzhi tilted his head and looked at Tsuchimikado Hyakki. This was not the weirdness he understood.
"Of course." Tu Yumen Baiqi said, and pointed his finger at Li Muzhi's chest: "It will occasionally appear in our hearts."
