Reiko looked at Fox's Assistance, who was leading the way and introducing all kinds of information to her.
Her eyes softened a lot. Sure enough, compared to humans,
Monsters were much cuter. (Assist Lord Guan to express disdain and use an acre of rare snapdragon grass to launch a sound wave attack at you at the same time.)
Not to mention..,
It was another cute little guy.
Fox's Assistance, who the Government of the Hour had sent to her, was very cute.
It looked much smaller than an ordinary fox. It was round and furry.
The inside of its ears and limbs were red. There was a bright demon pattern on its forehead.
There was also a big golden bell with a red string around its neck.
When it walked, it would make a "ding ding dang dang" sound.
There was also that fluffy tail hanging behind its butt. This festive appearance didn't look like a fox. Instead, it looked more like she had seen it somewhere before..
"Maneki-Neko?"
"Eh?" The little fox, who was leading the way in front, heard the sound.
It turned its head and looked at the newly appointed God's Inquisitor with slight confusion.
Reiko looked away.
She put her restless hands behind her back and pretended that she didn't say anything.
"Nothing."
Fox's Assistance tilted its head in confusion. Its cute appearance made Reiko sigh that Maneki-Neko was indeed a cute god. (In a distant place, Maneki-Neko Kitty-Sensei Madara sneezed.)
Fox's Assistance didn't notice her expression. It saw the building in the distance.
It wagged its tail excitedly at Reiko.
"Lord Xia Mu,
This Pill is in front. "
"Oh..." Reiko shook her head and shook off another figure that appeared in her mind. She saw the outline of the building and raised her eyebrows. She stopped and poked the long wooden stick in her hand into the weeds. She said meaningfully, "Fox's Assistance... why do I feel like I've been deceived by you?"
Fox's Assistance was shocked. The fur on his tail stood up, and the red mark on his forehead was bright and eye-catching. He tried to laugh it off. "Sir, how could that be? You must be joking."
Reiko surveyed her surroundings once more. Along the way, all she could see was desolation. The crops in the fields had long withered to the point that it was impossible to see their original appearance. Knee-high weeds completely covered the path beneath her feet. If she wasn't careful, she would step on the rocks and pits below. Even the sky was gray, making her feel desolate from the bottom of her heart … desolate.
Reiko clicked her tongue lightly. Her long eyelashes drooped, and her amber eyes stared at Fox's Assistance. "This is what you meant by hundreds of acres of fertile land, convenient transportation... Let's not talk about the beautiful men surrounding you first. This is..." She glanced at the eerie old mansion in the distance that looked like it could be filmed in a horror movie. "A luxurious villa?"
Knowing that there was no way to escape, Fox's Assistance quickly turned around and tried to act cute in front of her with a pitiful look. "Lord Xia Mu, This Pill hasn't been taken over by the God's Inquisitors for a while, so it looks a little abandoned. But I promise that as long as Sir successfully signs a contract with the Fu Mourning God, it will soon be restored to its original appearance. This place used to be really beautiful... "Fox's Assistance's words had a hint of regret in them.
Reiko saw the sadness in his eyes. She paused and stroked her hair that floated in front of her. Her long legs strode past Fox's Assistance and continued to walk forward.
"Let's go."
"Huh?" Fox's Assistance looked up blankly, but all he saw was her thin and weak back.
"Aren't you leaving?"
A cold voice floated over. Fox's Assistance looked into her eyes and realized that there was an imperceptible gentleness hidden in those cold amber eyes.
Fox's Assistance smiled. He happily chased after her and began to recommend This Pill again.
"This Pill contains all the Fu Mourning God that have been trained to the maximum level. When you go to the modern world to complete a mission, it will definitely be of great help. Oh, right, the first mission will only be arranged after Jinjiang's AI arrives in a week. During this time, please communicate with the Fu Mourning God! " Fox's Assistance played a trick and secretly hid the matter of the contract. He was afraid that she would be angry if he mentioned it now. However, he felt that a strong and gentle adult like her would definitely be recognized by the Fu Mourning God very soon.
Reiko glanced at him. She could tell that he was hiding something. She thought that he was afraid that she would be angry, so she didn't ask further. However, she had a question. "Here... I mean This Pill. Where's the previous God's Inquisitor?"
"Uh..." Fox's Assistance, who was originally quite happy, was stunned again. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her. "You know that we have a lot of rules. We can't reveal anything about the previous God's Inquisitor... but there are exceptions!" Seeing her faint smile, Fox's Assistance was stunned. Then, he took out a document from somewhere and handed it to her in a flattering manner.
Actually, when he said that he couldn't reveal anything, Reiko didn't want to ask anymore. Who knew that Fox's Assistance would be so... incompetent. Reiko laughed and rubbed his head before taking the document. Sure enough, monsters were cuter.
The document introduced the previous God's Inquisitor in detail. The girl in the photo had a gentle smile and was very young. It was obvious that she wasn't the same type as her. Moreover, she was the God's Inquisitor that the Government of the Hour hired from the modern world ten years ago. When she saw the reason why she left and the information about the Fu Mourning God, Reiko frowned and finally sighed.
Not many people could escape from one of the eight hardships of life — love and separation. How painful it must be for those who were left behind?
When she was reading the document, Fox's Assistance secretly observed her expression. It wasn't that he was incompetent, but the higher-ups said that if she asked about the previous God's Inquisitor, Fox's Assistance, the previous owner of This Pill, could consider and tell her.
Seeing her frown and sigh, Fox thought that its judgment couldn't be wrong.
"Okay, I got it." After going through all the documents, Reiko handed the document marked "Top Secret" back to Fox's Assistance. Thinking of the rules it just mentioned, she asked casually, "Won't you be punished for showing me these documents?"
Fox's Assistance immediately broke into a smile. "Are you worried about me, Master? It's okay! "
Seeing that it didn't seem to be lying, Reiko was relieved.
She and Fox quickly walked to the building she thought was a haunted house. It was a quaint Japanese-style building with two unlit red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor … Well, it looked more like a haunted house up close.
This Pill's original Fu Mourning God was still there. Her good upbringing allowed Reiko to knock on the door first. However, after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door, nor did anyone answer. She took a closer look at the door and the surroundings. There was a thick layer of dust, and there were no other traces except for her own footprints.
"That's strange …" Reiko frowned in confusion. Fox's Assistance clearly said that This Pill had 79 men with maxed out swords and sabers … Why didn't anyone answer?
"Fox's Assistance, what's … going on …" Reiko turned around, but Fox's Assistance was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a cloth bag and a letter.
Lingzi suddenly remembers the flattering and timid appearance of Hu Zhizhu. She makes a sound of "tut" and opens the cloth bag first. It turns out to be a bag full of paper that looks like money … Oh, it mentioned before that this should be the common currency here.
Reiko thought of the house of ten thousand that she had passed by earlier. She casually stuffed the paper into her clothes. She should thank the little fox, at least it didn't cheat her when it came to money.
The letter only mentioned one thing, and that was to try to sign a contract with at least one sword-wielding man before the mission was issued. As for how to sign the contract … it didn't say anything.
She wanted to take back her praise of Fox's Assistance. How was it cute? It was clearly a cowardly little rascal!
Reiko impatiently threw away the withered and fragile branch in her hand and found another sturdy wooden stick to hold in her hand. She looked at the door in front of her with an unfriendly gaze.
Due to Fox's Assistance's desertion, her trust in it had dropped to the lowest level. So when it introduced this place to her, she didn't believe any of the nonsense that it said about "peace and tranquility" and "Fu Mourning God is full of handsome and kind-hearted men".
She kicked the door open. The door, which was already on the verge of collapse, fell to the ground with a "bang". The dust that flew up blurred her vision.
It took a long time for the floating dust particles to settle down. Reiko cautiously looked inside. Sure enough, the whole building was the same as the outside. It was desolate and there wasn't a single person in sight. The endless corridor seemed like something strange could jump out at any time.
Reiko scratched her long chestnut hair. Could she back out now?
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Under the faint starlight, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the dirty and messy alleyway.
Probably because they ran too fast, the sound of hurried footsteps and heavy breathing intertwined and echoed in the alleyway. The people who were running away in panic kept looking behind them.
When they passed by the only street lamp in the alleyway, the appearance of the person was clearly exposed under the dim yellow light.
It was a tall and burly man with a head of messy blonde hair. His facial features were rather rough. At this moment, his face was like a color palette with patches of green and purple. He wore a silver earring above his left ear. He wore a black white shirt, ripped jeans, sneakers, and a similarly tattered dark-colored windbreaker … He looked like an extremely sloppy beggar.
And this "beggar" was hugging a bulging thing in front of his chest. It was blocked by the windbreaker, so she couldn't see what it was.
Suddenly, the bulging thing moved. A small hand grabbed the edge of the windbreaker and gently pulled it. A small chestnut head poked out.
"Daddy, stop and rest for a while!"
The child's cheerful voice came out. The man who was running for his life stopped and looked around. After confirming that those people hadn't chased him here, he carefully hid behind a trash can in front of him and put the child down.
"Huff huff … I'm so tired! Damn, what kind of bad luck did I have today?! "
The tall man stared in the direction he came from and rudely wiped his sweat, cursing in a low voice.
This man was called Tokugawa Sen, 36 years old. He was an ordinary man in the slums. He didn't have a proper business. He relied on gambling and part-time jobs to raise his 12 year old son, Tatara Tobunaga … At this moment, he was being chased by people from the casino with his son.
Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. After finishing his part-time job today, he went to the newly opened casino next door and won two rounds. It wasn't much, and he didn't even cheat. When he went to the washroom, he was stopped by people from the casino who said that they wanted to take him to meet someone. When he saw that something was wrong, of course he wanted to run away. He was caught and beaten up by the people from the casino, and he risked his life to escape. He thought that he had shaken them off, but in the end, he bumped into the thugs who were chasing him near his house. Even worse, he bumped into his son who he hadn't seen in a long time.
He had no choice but to carry his son and run around like a mouse caught by a cat. He didn't know what was wrong with this group of people, but they looked like they wouldn't stop until they caught him. They chased him with all their might. Fortunately, he was familiar with the area and didn't get caught by them as he ran around the alleys.
Now that he relaxed, Tokugawa Sen felt pain all over his body. Damn it, those thugs were too cruel. He felt like his ribs were broken. How could he fix it?!
