Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Do they have this ability?

Hoshino Hideyuki curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out two strands of hair, first summoned a wrestler, and then quickly turned into a fly.

Although these Hercules flies only have 20 minutes of activity time, after several consecutive relays, it is enough to explore the entire cave...

Outside.

"Hey? Did you hear any noise?"

The cautious spider head rubbed its chelicerae, feeling the vibrations in the air with its bristles, and said to its companion.

The companion shook his head: "No."

"No, I clearly heard it..."

The cautious spider head held his breath and concentrated, following the slightest sound, lowering his head, lowering his head, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, and then...

puff!

I just happened to eat a fart from my companion!

"You! Ah! You stink!"

"I'm sorry, but this is so embarrassing, how can I say it out loud..."

puff puff!

"Why are you still here!"

"Once I start, I can't help myself..."

Amid the apologies of his companions, the cautious spider head fainted on the ground, unable to get up again.

He hated himself for being nosy and decided to change his ways and never pay attention to the noise again!

The little fly foxes took this opportunity to slip away...

in the following time.

Hoshino Hideyuki relied on the warriors to go out in turns to collect information.

Soon he discovered something interesting...

such as,

Those spider leaders would gather in a corner far away from Sumire to slack off, drink and play cards, and even discuss whether staying up too late would cause the hair on their pedipalps to fall off.

Fox's comment on this is:

What the hell? Spiders also worry about hair loss? Don't be so realistic!

Another example,

In some places, foxes can see huge spider webs that drill through the soil like plant roots, entangle with each other in the caves, and form a big ball.

It somehow looks like cotton candy. Oh, I am a little greedy...

cough cough.

If I think about it carefully, this should be some kind of node of the spider web barrier outside?

Hoshino Hideyuki took note of these places, but did not dare to move rashly.

For example,

Behind the shrine, he found a row of small caves that had been dug out on purpose. There were iron bars at the entrances, and inside, one disheveled human after another was imprisoned.

The fox immediately realized that these humans...

Most likely they are villagers from Musashi Village!

Okay, I take that back.

This is not fun at all.

Chapter 167 This filled the fox with determination

at this time.

"Where is this place?"

"Monster! There's a monster! Help!"

A middle-aged woman who had just been locked up woke up from her coma. She grabbed the iron bars in horror and looked around. When she saw the patrolling Spider Head, she immediately fell to the ground in fright, shaking all over.

"Aunt Jiazi, is that you?"

"Ashu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the woman calmed down a little. She looked up and found that there was also a person locked up behind the railing of the cave opposite. It was the village's former policeman, Hojo Naoki!

but……

Why is he here?

According to the woman's memory, last August, Hojo Naoki quit his job as a police officer and went to Tokyo with her son on the grounds that he did not want to waste his life in the village!

It was precisely because these two people did not reply to the village after they went out that she missed her son, asked for leave, left the hot spring hotel, and planned to go to Tokyo!

Countless questions were running through her mind, and the woman couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "A Shu, why are you here..."

"Aunt Kako, we never made it to Tokyo. As soon as we left the village, we were kidnapped by these spiders."

Hojo Naoki sighed and said:

"It's not just us. Look around elsewhere. Many people who left the village in recent years are imprisoned here."

The woman turned her head and looked carefully, and sure enough, she saw many familiar faces, but their faces were numb and they didn't react to her gaze at all.

Suddenly, her face turned pale as paper.

"How could this happen...why would this happen..."

After mumbling to herself for a while, she suddenly took a deep breath, forced herself to cheer up, and shouted to Hojo Naoki: "Ashu, where is Xiaohong, do you know where he is?"

Xiaohong is the nickname of her son.

"He used to live next door to me, but now... Sorry, I don't know. He was taken away three days ago. Maybe he's been sucked out of his skin..."

"W-what do you mean?"

Faced with the woman's questioning, Hojo Naoki hesitated for a moment, as if he was worried that if he said too many cruel things at once, the other party would not be able to bear it.

But he thought about it again. He had already been caught here. What else could he not endure? A short pain is worse than a long one. He just said it.

Then he raised his thin arms, which looked like dead branches, and said to the woman:

"The spiders come from time to time to suck human bodily fluids."

"Anyone who gets sucked in too much in a short period of time will die."

"Then the spiders will drag away his body, peel off the skin, and let their own kind get in."

"The village chief Sasaki Satoshi was created in this way. He is actually a monster in human skin. The real Sasaki Satoshi died long ago."

After hearing these words, the woman was speechless for a long time.

The huge amount of bad news in such a short period of time completely overwhelmed her ability to endure.

buzzing.

And in the corner where they were not paying attention, a fly flew away quietly.

At this point, the fox had no mood to complain.

He recognized that the imprisoned woman was the cook whom he had met once in the hot spring hotel.

Furthermore, through the conversation between the woman and Ashu, he clearly realized that this was a devil's cave, a modern mini version of Lion Camel Ridge.

And according to the time described by Kitagawa, this den has existed for at least several decades.

Over the past few decades, as Musashi Village declined, one villager after another wanted to go to the big city, longing for a new life, but they were caught in this dark underground, squeezed dry of blood and tears, and became bait...

Some of them were even reused and made into props for the spiders to change their appearance and control the village...

How many people have died in these decades?

hiss……

That Sumire Riki was once a god, how could he have fallen to this point?

No, it could be that they are born this way. After all, some of Japan's minor gods are really no different from monsters.

But it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter what the reason is for becoming like this.

In the bedroom, Hoshino Hideyuki sighed softly, and lay down on the bed pretending to sleep, but in fact he kept his eyes open, staring straight at the dark ceiling...

After a moment, he stood up and started chatting with the spiders that were monitoring him, smiling as usual.

About an hour passed.

boom!

On the ground, a ball of fire exploded on the roof of the village chief's office.

Several spider heads hurried out of the house and looked at the roof. They saw the dancing flames faintly condensed into an eight-tailed fox, who spoke to them:

"Sumiri, let's make a deal..."

Another twenty minutes later.

Hoshino Hideyuki was called up and brought back to Sumire.

"Amamiya Yukiho took the initiative to write to me."

The giant spider raised its claws and said, "She wants to meet us tomorrow at noon in the small square south of the village to exchange Kitagawa Kenichi for the Divine Shell."

Then, she looked at Hoshino Hideyuki again: "As you said, what she wants is the divine transformation."

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and bowed slightly, then asked: "So, sir, are you going to make this deal with her?"

"of course not."

Sumire's eight eyes turned at the same time and said:

"The feud is over."

"If she really returns the divine molt to her, and one day she becomes a complete Inari God, she will come back for revenge. What should I do then?"

"Let's take this opportunity to kill her right here!"

"Sada Kuni, I have made a plan and I need your participation..."

Sumire gave Sasaki Satoshi a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward, took out a map of Musashi Village, and continued on behalf of Sumire:

"Not far from that small square, there is a ramen restaurant that has closed down."

"There is a spiritual vein gathering under the ramen restaurant, which is also a major node of the spider web barrier. Your strength can be greatly enhanced there."

"So we plan to find someone who is fast enough and won't be easily killed by Yukiho Amamiya during the transaction, take the Divine Shedding away, and lead her here."

"Once you succeed, my lord, you will be able to use your full strength, and Yukiho Amamiya will surely die!"

"Mr. Sada Kuni, we think you are the best candidate for this position."

Uh-huh.

You picked the right person~

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and bowed deeply.

"Happy to oblige!"

After the conversation, Hoshino Hideyuki returned to the bedroom.

He noticed that there seemed to be a little more surveillance around him.

But that's nothing to the fox.

He still conjured up three strong flies and let them slip away quietly.

However, their mission this time was not to explore, but to find Yukiho Amamiya to report the news.

Everything went well at the beginning...
