I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

The other end of the intercom was stunned for a second, and then said: "Okay, please maintain the first scene. The fire brigade has been notified to step up their dispatch."

".Fire brigade?"

Uesugi Hikaru stood up straight, and quickly approached the convenience store with frowning eyebrows. The convenience store that was still in flames just now was standing quietly in the night. The raging sea of ​​​​fire did not know when it died down and disappeared completely.

Not to mention the building itself, even the plastic packaging of the products is intact.

"I guess there may not be a need for the fire department."

Could it be that everything just now was my imagination?

Uesugi Hiroka fell silent as she stared at the eerily quiet convenience store.

She first looked at her partner, Naoto Shigeyama, who was following him, and found that he also looked suspicious. Then she looked at the residents who were hiding around and cautiously poked their heads out to observe after realizing that they were close to the convenience store.

Obviously, everything that happened just now was seen by everyone present.

"What? The fire is out?"

As the walkie-talkie came back with a reply, Uesugi Hongka looked at the convenience store not far away. For a moment, she didn't know how to describe it. She pondered for a moment and sorted out her words before describing it.

"It disappeared. The monsters and the fire all disappeared, as if they had never appeared before. There was no sign of the convenience store being burned. It was as if the people present, including me, had hallucinated together."

"But that's obviously not possible."

The other end of the intercom was silent for a few seconds, "Okay, I understand, but I still ask the Uesugi Police Department to maintain order on the scene and protect the first scene. The Special Incident Response Mobile Force of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Sports, and Science has dispatched a commissioner, and I will still trouble Uesugi when the time comes. The police department will contact you over there.”

"I see."

Putting away the walkie-talkie, Uesugi Hiroyuki asked Naoto Shigeyama to go back to the police car to get the warning tape, while he stood outside the convenience store to prevent bad guys from breaking in.

Some of the frightened residents ran back home and got under the covers, thinking it was just a nightmare.

Some found that the police did not run away, so they boldly came closer to observe.

The Matsushige convenience store is an independent one-story building, surrounded by simple-designed light boards that serve as signboards. At this time, these light boards are emitting white light, illuminating the surroundings of the convenience store. Many flying insects seem to be ignorant and helpless. Sleep generally dances around the light sign.

The interior of the convenience store is also brightly lit, with a dazzling array of products on the shelves. Some shopping carts filled with products have been abandoned by their owners in the aisles. The store door is open, seeming to invite people to come into the store to make purchases. It looks like the time has passed in peace. look like.

It's just that the more everyday the picture is, the more it makes people's hair stand on end.

"Officer, this is"

Someone approached and asked the policewoman who was pulling a cordon with her partner.

Uesugi Hongka looked around at the anxious residents, looked serious, and said loudly: "Dear citizens, it is very dangerous here now. Please go home first. We will notify you later."

Although people were curious, they were afraid that the monster would catch up with them, so they listened to Uesugi Hongka's words and hid in their homes.

Some people took out their mobile phones after returning home and wanted to post the video they just took to TikTok, but were shocked to find that the video was completely different from what they saw at the time.

In the video, the convenience store was not on fire, and there were no cloud-like monsters. There were only people looking anxiously around the convenience store.

Someone shouted for someone to take a video, and then the crowd seemed to have seen something and was frightened, and ran away yelling. However, everything in the convenience store in the video was normal except that no one was inside, which seemed a bit baffling.

Convenience store owner Matsushige found that his convenience store seemed to be intact. He was surprised at first, but then became a little worried and frightened. He cautiously approached the two policemen and rubbed his hands while hunched over.

"Officer Uesugi, what should I do?"

Uesugi Hongka looked up and saw that it was the convenience store owner, so she replied: "There will be government commissioners to handle this matter later. Boss Matsushige, please go home first. You should not be allowed to enter the convenience store until the investigation is completed."

"That's it." Matsushige turned around and wanted to leave. The scene just now was so terrifying that he was still in shock.

But after taking two steps, I thought that my convenience store was not closed yet, and I was a little worried about the products, so I turned back.

"Officer Uesugi, this convenience store is my family's source of income. I can't let it go. Can I stay here and wait for the result?"

Uesugi Hikaru and Shigeyama Naoto looked at each other and hesitated for two seconds: "Okay, just stand outside the cordon and don't affect us."

"Hey, it will definitely not affect the police officers' investigation. I will just stand outside here." Matsushige promised again and again and stood outside the cordon to wait.

After about ten minutes, the fire brigade did not come, but the commissioner of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science drove over, bringing eight people in two cars.

After getting off the car, he first glanced at the convenience store. One of them looked like a commander, walked towards Shangshan Hongxia, and showed his ID.

"Deputy Chief of the Special Incident Response Mobile Section of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Tadahiro Takigawa."

Hiroyuki Uesugi was wearing regular clothes and took out his police ID card: "Chief of the Criminal Division of Adachi-ku Ayase Police Station, Hiroyuki Uesugi."

Tadahiro Takigawa nodded slightly and directed his commissioners to enter the investigation. Then he looked at Uesugi Hongka, nodded casually and said with a smile: "Uesugi Police Department, thank you for your hard work. Now we will take over here."

Motegi Naoto asked, "Do you need any help?"

assist? What can you two mortals do to help?

Takigawa Tadahiro was stunned for a second after hearing this, and then he pondered for two seconds, "So, do you want Fuji to help maintain order outside?"

But there were few ghosts on the street at this time, and the residents had all gone home because of fear. At most, they hid by the windows and peeked. Why did they need to maintain order?

And the tone of his speech was a bit rude.

Mogi Naoto was a little indignant, and Uesugi Kouka had no choice.

The Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology has a high status in the cabinet. Not only is it well-funded, but it is also given priority everywhere.

Sometimes, there is no need to notify the cabinet, and it can act according to the circumstances of the incident. Therefore, officials at all levels are quite arrogant.

However, it is said that the mortality rate of the commissioners of the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology is more than dozens of times higher than that of the front-line criminal police. They are indeed working with their lives. In this situation where they may sacrifice at any time, most people's tempers will not be good.

Uesugi Kouka actually respects these people.

The two did not say anything. They stood outside the cordon, watching their surroundings and curiously observing the work of the commissioners.

They all held white talisman paper in their hands, with incomprehensible symbols and some special Chinese characters written on it. They were very careful when approaching the convenience store.

But the convenience store just stood there quietly, as if mocking the caution of several people.

A few minutes later, the fire brigade rushed to the scene in a hurry.

The island country's fire brigade has been established for more than 100 years and nearly 200 years. The system should have been relatively complete, but the speed of police dispatch was not fast. I don't know if it was because of the local environment or some other reason.

Uesugi Kouxia went up to negotiate again, and found that the matter had been accepted by the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science. The firefighters stretched their necks to look and drove the fire truck back.

The Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science had already entered the convenience store to investigate. Uesugi Kouxia saw that they didn't seem to find anything, yawned with her hands covering her mouth, and looked around aimlessly.

It was almost two in the morning. Only a car passed by occasionally on the street not far away. The street lights here were a little out of repair and flickered from time to time. There were silver-gray clouds with moonlight in the sky, and stars were lonely in the night sky.

Suddenly, Uesugi Kouka found that at the corner two streets away, there seemed to be a girl in a black dress standing there staring at this side.

She took a look and instinctively felt that something was wrong. How could such a young girl be on the street so late?

Just as she was about to catch up, Shigeyama Naoto beside her shouted: "Uesugi, the section chief asked us to go back to the police station."

Turning around, the girl had disappeared.

Higashino Yu quickly came to his senses and looked at the noise in the distance from the window. The lights of Tokyo were still bright, and there was singing and dancing, but the flashing police lights not far away were a little dazzling.

Tonight's actions seemed quite rough, as if they were done casually without considering the consequences, but in fact they had been carefully considered.

First of all, using Yin Fire and Yin God can scare people without hurting anyone. After all, even if the shop owner who likes to talk nonsense makes Miko sad, it is not a crime punishable by death.

Of course, it is not easy to let him go even if it is not punishable by death, otherwise he will feel very unhappy.

In the early years, when the children in the orphanage were bullied, he would beat them back one by one. He had a good reputation in that small area of ​​Kyoto, and the yellow-haired bad guys did not dare to offend him.

It seems that he may have been angry at home, but he is a monster in Taoism, so he does not need to care about so many cumbersome precepts, just follow the heart of Taoism.

So it is necessary to let Song Shige understand the truth that disaster comes from the mouth.

And the most important point is that Yin God and Fox Fire cannot be photographed-under normal circumstances, monsters in the state of Yin God cannot be seen by mortals.

For example, ghost immortals such as Qingfangzhu, who are achieved by the dead soul, are invisible to mortals in most cases.

That is to say, Dong Yeyu's cultivation is close to the perfection of human immortal. He has been refining purple qi every day for nearly 20 years. There is already a little bit of Yin-to-Yang in the Yin God, which lays a little foundation for the promotion to Yang God in the future, and can also freely show his body in front of people.

After all, after the Yin God turns into pure Yang, it can be regarded as an external incarnation, from virtual to real, from night to day, and it is no different from the original body.

But people can see it, but the camera can't take a picture.

Dong Yeyu thought about why when he found this situation on the fruit mobile phone before, probably because it does not conform to the principle of camera formation.

The principle of mobile phone camera formation is no different from the original camera, both of which are light-sensitive formation.

The Yin God is a virtual form, and the blue fox fire is a virtual fire, which cannot reflect light. The light-sensitive element of the camera has no reaction, so it can't be photographed-the reason why people can see it is probably not because of the eyes.

Therefore, this can achieve the purpose of letting the neighbors around see that there is a monster in the convenience store, and also make them unable to take pictures of themselves, thereby attracting the Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology to investigate.

I guess after this incident, the business of Matsushige convenience store will become more depressed.

After all, the suspected monster incident that just broke out in Kosuge has made Tokyo citizens a little suspicious. This convenience store has also been involved in monsters. There are more than one convenience store in Kitayase. People tend to seek good fortune and avoid evil, so there is no need to think about how to choose.

Maybe some young people or monster enthusiasts will come to investigate, but how much sales can those people provide?

Those who come to investigate will have a little bit of face and buy a bottle of drink for the sake of the store owner.

This sales is not enough for the convenience store to continue operating.

Higashino Yu plans to continue to observe the situation at Matsushige convenience store. If revenge does not achieve the effect, the matter is not over.

However, if you are responsible for such troubles, you have to do it yourself, and having only Xiuji as his subordinate is really not enough.

Now that I have all the skills and techniques, and my cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, it may be time to recruit a few more disciples.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiuji beside him.

"How is it? The crow monster still hasn't come to the door?"

Xiuji stretched out his bird's head to look out the window and folded his wings slightly.

"Reporting to my lord, I haven't seen that guy coming to invite me to fight. The ministers thought that the guy must have sensed my lord's domineering aura and ran away."

Dong Yeyu thought thoughtfully, "It's hard to say, just be more careful. Okay, it's over for today, let's start practicing."

"You were humiliated by the crow monster before. Now you should know the importance of practicing hard, right? It doesn't take a heavy hammer to sound a drum. Just repent."

After a few simple words, Dong Yeyu was ready to lie down and start today's practice. He still had to think about the laws of heaven and earth.

After all, it is a great supernatural power. Not to mention entering the palace, even if you just learn the basics, you will gain a lot of confidence in fighting people, monsters and even gods in the future.

"My lord, your kind words are worth thousands of gold. How dare you not to practice hard? Now go and practice hard! In time, my cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and I will capture that guy under your majesty. Xiuji retires."

After Xiuji said hello respectfully, he also skipped back to his cardboard pigeonhouse. Surrounded by a large ball of cotton and various shiny glass balls and metal pieces wrapped in it, he seemed to have really begun to practice hard. .

But not long after, the snoring began to sound, and the bird's head finally fell down.

This dead bird!

Dong Yeyu now felt that he didn't have enough help. How could he tolerate him continuing to fish, so he immediately snorted coldly.

"I didn't sleep! I didn't sleep!"

Xiuji felt the terrifying aura of Dong Yeyu, and his bird feathers stood up all over his body. He immediately opened his eyes and swallowed, and he woke up with his bird eyes.

"If you don't worry, I think your position as city lord is probably over, and the name of Zaemon will probably be abolished." Higashino Yu said pointedly.

ah? The Lord wants to recruit more men?

Judging from the Lord's tone, could it be that he wants to replace the old with a new generation?

How can this happen!

Xiuji immediately became anxious, "My lord, Xiuji regrets it, so he will work hard to practice. I hope that my lord will see that the ministers have hard work without any credit, please spare Xiuji for a while!"

"If you know you are wrong, practice as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the future, Higashino Castle will prosper and you, as the lord of Zaemon and Higashino Castle, will have low cultivation. How can you convince the public?"

Hearing this, Xiuji said yes again and again, jumped up to the window frame and stood on the window frame like his butt was on fire, banging and refining the moonlight inspiration.

Dong Yeyu shook his head, this bird is cheap.
