In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"Think about it, think about it. Among the magic that Ms. Lulutia gave me, is there any magic that can find a dog? Let me think about it."

After searching for the dog for an hour, Lei Zi finally gave up and began to seek answers from the magical knowledge in her mind.

The magic that makes the water temperature reach 40 degrees, the magic that makes grapes sour, the magic that turns all paper into white paper, the magic that keeps hair soft all the time, and the magic that can accurately control the oil temperature when frying French fries.

A bunch of magic spells, all kinds of magic, passed through Lei Zi's little head once. Lulutia stuffed a lot of magic into Lei Zi's brain in one breath without classifying it at all. Lei Zi had to find them aimlessly by herself, just like the blue fat man taking props out of his pocket.

"Excuse me." Hong Hong's voice made Lei Zi stop and think, "Are you looking for her?"

"Xiao Ke!"

The dog in Honghong's arms was the one Lei Zi had been looking for.

"Thank you so much. This is my neighbor's dog. It ran away this morning when his son was walking the dog. If it weren't for you, it would have cried and refused to go to kindergarten."

"I didn't do anything, she just came here on her own."

After buckling the rope back on the corgi's collar, Lei Zi glanced at Hong Hong, her perspective moving up from Hong Hong's bare feet, to her calves and thighs, then to her red skirt, and finally to her head hidden under the hood.

"You are—a monster?"

Chapter 35 The wild goose plucking its feathers

"No, I'm not!" Honghong grabbed the hood with both hands and pulled it down hard, hiding her entire face, but this made the ears on both sides of her head look particularly eye-catching, with bulges on both sides.

"How can you just call someone a monster? That's weird." Honghong shouted, pulling her hood and trying to leave.

How could this human girl be like this!?

My demonic power and demonic energy must have been compressed to the extreme. Many times, the local monsters couldn't find me. They only ran away screaming when they saw my face. How did she find me? Is she the god of wisdom?

Looking up cautiously, Honghong glanced at Leizi with her emerald green eyes hidden under her hood.

Hmm, the rumored petite and cute girl with one eye and one leg? It doesn't seem to fit.

"Sorry, sorry, I just have a hunch, haha, I think someone as beautiful as you should be like the legendary fox demon." Lei Zi touched her head awkwardly.

In fact, what she just said was also blurted out. Among the large number of messy magics that Lulutia packed for her, there was a magic called species identification. It had only one function, which was to identify the species of the other party. And this magic was like a novice gift package. Lei Zi could use it directly, but sometimes she couldn't turn it off. Just now, when Lei Zi looked at Hong Hong, the word "fox" floated above her head, which made Lei Zi subconsciously ask.

"Ha, haha..." Ruizi laughed awkwardly, trying to cover up the past.

"I'm human, I have things to do, I'll leave first."

"Oh, take care. Thank you for helping me find Xiao Ke just now."

Gulu~~~

Honghong's stomach rumbled at the right time. After hearing the rumbling sound, the body that had just passed by Lei Zi immediately wanted to speed up. It was so embarrassing.

"Well, if you're hungry." Leizi took out a can of mackerel from her backpack.

"If you don't mind, please accept it."

"Thank you."

Honghong thought about it and took it. Even if she went back to the mountain now, there would be many people climbing the mountain during the day. Honghong would have to hide and it would be inconvenient to go out to find food. If she refused Lei Zi's canned food here, she would have to wait until dark to come out to find food.

Although she didn't know what the iron box in her hand was, Honghong recognized the fish painted on it. She had seen something similar when she was in the river. Well, Honghong thought all the fish looked the same.

"You need a can opener to open this can. Wait a minute, I—"

Before Lei Zi stopped looking for the can opener, the sound stopped first. The can of mackerel was easily opened in Hong Hong's hands like a toy, and the light yellow juice splashed out. The fish meat fell to the ground with a plop. The juice not only splashed on Lei Zi's face, but also on Hong Hong's body. Now both of them smelled of fish.

"Wang Wang Wang."

The little Corgi's sensitive nose smelled the fishy stench and he wanted to run away but Lei Zi grabbed the rope of his collar in his hand.

"Three-second rule."

Honghong didn't learn anything else when she came to the island country, but like Rongrong, she learned a lot of strange things.

"Stop! The fish has fallen to the ground, don't pick it up and eat it."

"The ground is very clean. There is no mud or sewage, only a little dust."

"Dust is not okay either. It will upset your stomach if you eat it." Lei Zi tried hard to pull Hong Hong up.

"It's okay, I won't get sick from eating this."

Picking up a piece of fish, Honghong sniffed it with her nose. As a canine, she had a strong sense of smell, so she could clearly smell the smell of salt, oil, and various seasonings on the meat, which she didn't know what they were.

Looking at this piece of delicious fish, Honghong felt her throat itchy. During this period, Honghong had been eating fish and shrimp caught from the river, which she could eat simply by roasting. Although her true form was a fox, she couldn't stand eating tasteless food every day. Now, the sight of the fish full of salt and fat immediately aroused Honghong's appetite.

"Ms. Monster, in human society, you can't eat food that has fallen on the ground. Hurry up and get up. Passersby are looking at you."

"I'm not a monster." Honghong cares more about her disguise than food.

"Okay, okay, you are not a monster, not a monster."

"This food that fell on the ground cannot be eaten. I have several cans here. I'll give them all to you and we'll eat them slowly." Lei Zi coaxed Hong Hong like she was coaxing a child.

Fortunately, Honghong was just tempted by the gluttony in her stomach and was not a child who really liked to pick up things from the ground and eat them.

Seeing Honghong willing to give up the fish on the ground and sit on the bench with her, Lei Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

Does Senior Ouyang usually deal with monsters like this? They look so stupid.

With the experience, Honghong was much more careful the second time she opened the can. Following Lei Zi's instructions, she twisted the top of the can with her fingernail and the tin sheet opened by itself.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Honghong picked up a piece of fish with a fork and put it in her mouth. Her cheeks seemed to melt immediately. It had been so long since she came out, and this was the first time she had eaten something decent. It was so difficult.

Looking at the older sister next to her, who was obviously much older than her in terms of stature, kicking her feet happily because of a can of mackerel, and the bell kept ringing, Ruizi always felt weird, as if a mature sister was taking a mentally retarded sister out.

When Honghong and Leizi were sitting on a bench eating canned mackerel, Leizi's neighbor came over. After taking the little Corgi away, he thanked Honghong and gave her a box of freshly baked croquettes as a thank you gift.

"Name, what's your name?" Honghong ate a piece of mackerel and took another bite of cola. "I'm Honghong, Tushan Honghong."

"Raiko, Saten Raiko."

"Tear, are you a mage from this country?" Honghong leaned forward as she spoke.

"A mage?" Lei Zi looked hesitant. If she were an ordinary person, she did know a little magic now, but if she were to be called a mage, that would definitely not be enough. She had to be at least as good as Senior Ouyang. Lei Zi could only express it euphemistically, "I'm just a newcomer. I still have a long way to go in the future."

"She just started practicing." Hong Hong nodded, "No wonder the magic power emanating from Lei Zi is so weak, just like that of a small fry."

"No, those fish-headed monsters are a bit more powerful than Ruizi's, huh." Honghong didn't notice Ruizi's slightly changed face. "Right, just like Yaya said, they are just the worst of the worst."

"But what does 'trash fish' mean?"

"Miss Honghong, you can't say the word 'trash' to anyone else." Although Honghong looks like an older sister, Ruizi knows that she is still a child at heart and shouldn't argue with her. "It's a very bad word. You'll be disliked."

"Eh!?" Honghong covered her mouth tightly with both hands, as if she had heard something incredible. "Will Taoist Brother hate me if I say this word?!"

Rather than being hated by so-called other people, Honghong cares more about her Taoist brother Ouyang Xuan, whom she has not met since childhood.

[Calling others trash, humph, this kind of Honghong is really annoying, don't come to me again, I want to be with another Honghong.]

No, no, no!

Honghong shook her head vigorously, putting all her terrible thoughts behind her. Taoist brother would never hate her, never!

"I will never say this word again from now on. I can't let Brother Taoist hate me."

When she shook her head, Honghong's hood was thrown away, and Ruizi could see Honghong's head and face clearly at this time. Her little face was very cute because of the serious expression. Especially when this expression appears on the face of a mature beauty, there will be a magical contrast of cuteness, which almost captured Ruizi's heart. As for why she was not captured, it was because her sight was attracted by a pair of trembling furry ears.

Along with Honghong's seriousness, the pair of drooping ears moved like hooks, which immediately hooked Lei Zi's heart.

I really want to touch it~~

"Hmm? Why are you touching my ear, Ruiko?"

Unlike the usual works where strange noises are made after the ears are touched, Honghong just felt a little itchy, so she turned her head and looked at Ruizi in confusion.

"Ahem, I just saw something fell on your ear, so I helped you remove it."

"Oh, thank you, Saten."

Honghong put her hood back on. Passersby acted as if they hadn't noticed her ears at all, walking past her and Ruiko with unfazed composure. Just kidding, this is Tokyo, the place with the most bizarre Pinocchios in the country, arguably the world. So what's wrong with a girl with animal ears walking barefoot down the street? It's perfectly normal.

"Is that Taoist brother you just mentioned the one you like?" Middle school girls are always interested in love gossip.

"No." Honghong shook her head. "Brother Taoist is the one I love. I will definitely become Brother Taoist's wife in the future!"

"Tear, you're someone who just started practicing. Do you know the Taoist brother? The Taoist brother is super powerful. He's the most powerful Taoist in the world."

"A super powerful Taoist priest." Lei Zi crossed her arms, as if she was thinking, but her mind only had one answer. "I also know a super powerful Taoist priest senior, the one I trust the most."

"So he's Leizi's Taoist brother?"

"It's not to the point where I'm willing to become his bride, Honghong." Lei Zi thought for a moment, "But after meeting such a formidable senior, it's normal to have a certain fondness for him."

"But that's just a junior's affection for a senior. It's not something profound like love."

"Hehe, then my Taoist brother is better than Lei Zi's Taoist brother." Honghong suddenly developed a strange competitive spirit.

"When I first met Taoist Brother, he hugged me very gently, smiled at me the whole time, and comforted me. His words were so sweet that it sounded like singing. He waited until my family came to pick me up. Before I left, he gave me a token of our love."

The above plot is somewhat fictional, please refer to the facts.

"It's a very gentle smile." Lei Zi said with understanding, "That's quite different from the senior I know. My senior always has a cold face and speaks in a cold tone. I even suspected that he had facial paralysis. Later I found out that he was just dull and had fewer expressions."

"Also, the Taoist brother is also super cool in battle. With magic spells protecting his body, he can defeat a wild wolf with one punch."

"They are all Taoist priests, but the difference is quite big."

Lei Zi recalled Ouyang Falcon's battle, and the only thing she remembered was the boom! bang! bang! explosions.

The two sat on the bench and chatted for a long time until Leizi's phone rang. It was time to go home and cook for her younger brothers. During the summer working days in a dual-income family, the burden of taking care of her younger brothers and cooking fell on Leizi.

Before leaving, Lei Zi wrote down her home address for Hong Hong so that if Hong Hong was hungry, she could come to her house for dinner.

"Goodbye, Leizi."

After having dinner together, they became friends. Honghong waved goodbye to Lei Zi and ran out of the city. It would be better to stay in the mountains during the day to avoid conflicts with Onmyoji or exorcists.

"What on earth did that idiot want to do? Come out and have dinner with a human woman?"

A tall building overlooking the bench where Honghong and Leizi had just sat was visible. Hei Honghong was standing on it, watching the rapidly moving red figure.

"She and I were split from the same body, so how could she be so stupid? She's just like a child."

Unlike Bai Honghong who would have a silly smile of happiness on her face after eating something delicious, Hei Honghong's face was always cold, and her emerald green eyes could never emit the same look as Bai Honghong's, only a little bit of brutality popping out from time to time.

If Bai Honghong is the cute and naive heroine, then Hei Honghong is the vicious supporting actress who wants to kill the naive heroine and take over the hero.

Compared to Bai Honghong, who doesn't want to affect human society too much and runs to the mountains to be as self-sufficient as possible, Hei Honghong doesn't care much about these things. At least when it comes to food, Hei Honghong is much better than Bai Honghong, which can be seen from the hamburger packaging bag at her feet.

As for how this hamburger came about, a kappa who had already integrated into human society and was working said he had no idea. He fainted before he could even see the other person's face. That bastard even marked out his territory in Tokyo, saying that when a goose passes by, its feathers are plucked, and when a beast leaves, its skin remains.

Chapter 36 Miss Agent

It was the last day of summer vacation and the sun was still scorching. Just standing outside for a short while made my skin feel sunburned. Hina felt that anyone who could stand in such strong sunlight for a whole day wearing extremely thick clothes was truly amazing.

"Okay, please look here, okay, okay."

"Please take a look at the camera, this way. Okay, thank you very much."

Hai Meng was wearing a cosplay long dress that Lei Zi had worked so hard to make, and was being photographed while queuing. Ouyang Xuan looked over and saw that there were already six people in line.

This morning, Hai Meng and Lei Zi raided Ouyang Xuan's office and gave Ouyang Xuan a commission.

[This cosplay of Ruiko wouldn't have been possible without Ouyang-senpai and Hina, so I wanted you to see my first real cosplay!]

After Hai Meng said this, Ouyang Xuan and Yang Cai were dragged to the park where the cosplay event was held.

“It’s so hot~~”

After buying drinks for everyone, Lei Zi sat down on the bench without any image, opened the iced green tea in her hand and took a big gulp. Only then did Lei Zi feel like she was alive again.

"Senior Hai Meng is amazing. He can actually hold on in such a high temperature. He's been filming for half an hour."

"Maybe it's because of his passion, it seems that Haimeng-senpai is not afraid of the heat." Hina said.

"Your passion is truly incredible." Ruizi also confirmed Haruna's statement, "If I were asked to participate in an outdoor urban legend exhibition in 40-degree weather, I would definitely stick with it to the end."

"However," Lei Zi changed the subject, "the fabric I chose for Hai Meng-senpai is a bit like ice silk. It's cool and very comfortable. It shouldn't be too hot to wear."

"Senior Hai Meng can still keep changing his postures."

Hai Meng, who was being photographed, was smiling and posing. The smile on her face remained the same, as if it was fixed on her face. It was not natural enough. Instead, it looked like she was about to die, with the muscles on her face stiffened.

"Is she about to faint?" Ouyang Xuan saw that Hai Meng's eyes seemed to have started to circle.
