Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

"Because we have been isolated from the world for too long, and the connection with it has been cut off so completely, so when we want to return, it resists in every way..."

Hoshino Hideyuki's eyes widened: "The world's resistance? Do you mean something like the world's will?"

Ryoko Senjougahara shook her head, then nodded.

“It’s hard to explain, it’s hard to see, it’s hard to touch, but at a certain moment, it will get you.”

"That's where we are, anyway."

"Although I can return sooner or later, it will take time and effort, and it won't happen in a short time."

"Maybe this is called the balance of cause and effect. The better you protect yourself in the last era, the harder it will be to come back in the next era."

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded, inexplicably feeling that what he said made sense.

Write it down and use it when you want to show off to others.

Finally, he looked up and said, "Is that why the Yunhai Casino was opened? That's why you first looked for a pub and then pestered me?"

"That's right, Brother Fox~"

Chapter 65 Fox: A new target has appeared ~ How can we stand still ~

"Although we, the survivors of the previous era, can eventually come back as long as we are willing to spend time, there is a world of difference between coming back early and coming back late, coming back with nothing and coming back with everyone's attention."

“No matter how good the secret realm is, it is still far inferior to this vast world.”

Listening to Ryoko Senjougahara's story, Hoshino Hideyuki nodded to show his understanding.

Change is coming, and the importance of seizing the initiative is self-evident.

There are only so many resources and only a few comfortable ecological niches. If you come out too late, you might be killed by old acquaintances as soon as you step through the door.

Senjougahara Ryoko continued, "So, even if the real body cannot come to the world for the time being, we must find a way to do something in advance, just like planting seeds in the spring in order to harvest in the autumn."

"Yunhai Casino is a seed, and you, my fox brother, are also the seed that I have my eyes on~"

"The seeds have two functions. One is that they can increase our connection with the people in this world, which will help us get rid of the aura of the other world more quickly and reduce the resistance of the world. The other is that they can also act as helpers, helping us collect resources and intelligence in advance and cultivate our power."

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his hand and asked, "Can I refuse to sprout and rot in the soil? I don't mean anything else, I'm just too lazy to photosynthesize."

"Okay~"

Senjougahara Ryoko blinked and said, "But in that case, I have no other choice but to come to you, my fox brother, and cry to you on time every week. When that happens, my tears and snot will be rubbed on your tail, my fox brother. Please don't be disgusted."

Got it, you are Doctor Strange and I am Dormammu.

Hoshino Hideyuki said in a deep voice: "Then the next step is the most crucial part."

"You took a fancy to me. What do you want me to do specifically?"

"What good would it do if I helped you? If you want the seeds to grow, you have to water them."

Senjougahara Ryoko straightened her sitting posture slightly and said:

"I don't have any ambitions. I just hope that you, Brother Fox, can help me collect some items. I can make a list for you."

"As for the benefits... that depends on what you want, Brother Fox. Whether it's medicine that increases your demonic power or powerful weapons, I have a little bit of both."

"But I'm afraid I'll have to leave this for next time."

Ryoko Senjougahara sighed sadly and raised her little finger.

Hoshino Hideyuki squinted his eyes and found that his originally snow-white fingers were covered with cracks.

Soon after, more and more cracks appeared until the skin and flesh peeled off and turned into petals in the wind.

"My time is up. It's all your fault, Brother Fox, for not playing games properly..."

Hoshino Hideyuki shrugged:

"It's a waste of time to play games with you. After all, if you said you wanted to negotiate terms right from the start, it might be much more efficient."

"You are right, but unfortunately, I...

It’s a cat after all~”

Ryoko Senjougahara covered her mouth and chuckled. Her body was breaking down faster and faster. Soon, it completely turned into petals and disappeared into nothingness.

In the peach forest, only her last words echoed:

"Well, see you next week. If you can't wait, you can take out the bell and come to see me in person~"

That’s just wishful thinking!

It’s better to keep your distance through dreams.

As for whether to agree to the cat demon's request, we'll have to wait until next week.

Hoshino Hideyuki let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, the peach forest had disappeared and he was back in the hotel, except...

The posture changed from standing to lying on the floor.

It's somewhat unsightly.

Seriously, can’t this cat wait until I lie down on the bed before falling asleep?

But it should be said or not.

The information she gave was a bit scary.

The spiritual energy is revived, and the old monsters from hundreds of years ago are about to return to reality...

Wow, I'm afraid Japan is going to start a big mess now.

Fortunately, there is a big guy to hold up the sky when it falls.

The pressure in this regard is mainly borne by the leaders of the current order, such as the Countermeasures Room and the Onmyoji family - it has little to do with him, a little fox in the gray area.

As a fox demon, Hoshino Hideyuki only needs to take advantage of every opportunity!

Onmyoji can be inserted, cat demon can be inserted, if necessary...

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the mirror and candles on the table.

Humph, it’s not impossible to get involved in Yunhai Casino!

Although Ryoko Senjougahara warned that the opponent was very difficult, the fox had no intention of completely listening to the cat - of course, this did not mean that he was going to visit the Yunhai Casino right now. After all, his strength was not enough, but he did not rule out this possibility in the future.

Strength, strength...

Hoshino Hideyuki summoned the system.

At this time, he still had 20 cultivation points left, and the extra 5 points were contributed by Mr. Thief.

He directly spent 10 points to upgrade the Fox Fairy Technique to the next level.

No matter what the environment, the more demonic power you have, the better.

Then he gritted his teeth, spent all his savings and won a prize.

【Lottery Begins】

[You got a piece of paper that will never get punctured when you wipe your butt]

[You got a piece of paper that will never get punctured when you wipe your butt]

【you……】

[You have acquired the skill - Eye of Insight lv1: You can see things that are considered secret even to extraordinary people (I originally just wanted to create a perspective eye - a ninja who was caught for peeping into a women's bathhouse)]

Ok……

It's a very useful skill.

The same goes for paper towels, which can be used morning and night.

The fox was very satisfied with the result of the lottery.

As a result, his panel looks like this:

[Name: Hideyuki Hoshino]

[Race: Laughing Fox~?^.???^?]

[Talent: Sit and Forget to Cultivate the True Self]

[Talent Description: Omitted~?(???)?]

[Current skills: Charm (lv1), Mirror View (lv3), Seventy-two Transformations (lv3), Hair Warrior (lv1), Heart Moon Fire (lv3), Fox Fairy Technique (lv2), Eye of Insight (lv1)]

[Current props: absolutely safe small quilt, oil paper wrap for digging, and ten times the amount of steamed buns]

[Remaining cultivation points: 0]

Tsk.

There are still too few cultivation points!

How about we trouble the Jidao again tonight?

Just as the fox was hesitating, Inuyama Tetsu suddenly called.

"Hideyuki, I have a new target here!"

About an hour later.

Hoshino Hideyuki reported his safety to Ijichi Kikuri and returned to Inuyama Tetsu's residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a goatee uncle with heavy dark circles under his eyes who had already sorted out the ingredients and placed them on the dining table.

"Your current state is a bit scary."

Hoshino Hideyuki transformed back into a fox and sat across from the dining table.

"That's simply because you didn't see my condition yesterday." Inuyama Tetsu seemed to recall something extremely terrible, and said in a tone as if he had corpse spots: "At that time, we found a male corpse in the cesspool of the public women's restroom..."

"Stop! That's enough! You don't need to continue!"

Hoshino Hideyuki immediately slapped a photo on the table with his paw and said, "Let's talk about the new target of fraud. Is it the man in the photo?"

Inuyama Tetsu shook his head.

"In reality, he was a victim."

Hoshino Hideyuki looked at the materials carefully.

"His name is Yamamoto Motoya, and his occupation is a math teacher at the private Seiwa High School. The cause of death is suicide... Is this another case of induced suicide?"

"It's more like coercion than inducement."

Inuyama Tetsu straightened his back and spoke in a serious tone:

"The story started more than two months ago."

"At that time, my colleagues in other departments received a report that the math teacher had stolen the underwear of female students."

"Because Private Shenghe High School is a very famous school with many students from wealthy families, my colleagues did not dare to neglect it and rushed to investigate..."

Chapter 66 A fox that has never been to school is not a good fox

"Since the stolen girls' underwear was indeed found and a student pointed it out, my colleagues took Yamamoto Fumiya away for investigation."

"Yamamoto Fumiya insisted that he had committed no crime."

"In theory, if you want to confirm the facts 100%, you need to check the surveillance, check if there are fingerprints, hair or body fluids on the underwear, and do a DNA comparison if possible... But in reality, you know, no Japanese police will spend time on this kind of thing."

"Let alone molestation cases, even in murder cases, sometimes we don't spend too much time investigating them, otherwise the autopsy rate for abnormal deaths wouldn't be so low."

Inuyama Tetsu shrugged with a look of self-mockery and helplessness.

Hoshino Hideyuki expressed his understanding.

Everyone has a rough idea of the average level of the Japanese police, which is inversely proportional to the level of the famous detectives in the comics.

"So, because Yamamoto Fumiya is considered guilty and refuses to plead guilty, he will be prosecuted - once this kind of case goes to court, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the guilt rate is over 99.9%. This is not an exaggeration, so there is basically no hope of overturning the verdict."

"During this period, word spread in the school that Yamamoto Fumiya was taken away by the police. He was expelled from school, and his photos were posted online by students who abused him. In the end, everyone was willing to believe the tearful high school girl rather than the young teacher."

"Finally, a week before the trial, Yamamoto committed suicide while in custody."

Inuyama Tetsu sighed, paused, and then said:
