Chapter 23: The Temptation of the Fox
Asako Todai was lying on the bed and listening to the audio novel with her eyes closed, at this time it was the plot after the male protagonist confessed to the female protagonist, and she could hear her shortness of breath and Xia Fei's cheeks.
She bit her lip, her face turned crimson, as if she wanted to do something, but she didn't dare, her face was full of hesitation.
"What are you doing?"
A somewhat puzzled voice sounded, and Asako Todai was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled her hand out of the quilt.
"No, no, no, no... I didn't do anything! ”
She replied loudly, trying to hide her panic.
"Then why are you so red?" The voice asked.
Asako Todai's body tensed, and she didn't notice it just now because she was in a panic, but now she found that the voice was neither her father's nor her mother's.
Todai Shrine usually only has the three of them, not father and mother, so who could it be?
The voice was somewhat familiar, and Asako Todai's brain was spinning rapidly.
Soon, her tense body slackened again, and she remembered whose voice it was.
"Mr. Fox?"
"It's a god-sama!"
The big fox corrected dissatisfiedly, which made Todai Asako smile at the same time, but couldn't help but be a little puzzled:
"But isn't the god in a dream? Am I dreaming now? But I can't see now, can I? ”
The big fox reluctantly knocked her head with his small fist and skillfully climbed on top of her head.
Asako Todai stretched out her hand and hugged the big fox above her head, feeling the familiar fluffy touch, and completely relieved.
"Am I not dreaming now?" She asked, confused.
The big fox swept her nose with his tail: "Is it itchy?" ”
"Itchy!" Asako Todai laughed happily, touching the tail of the Todai mountain god and sweeping her face with it.
"Did the gods come to play with me?" She asked.
"No, I want you to inherit my power and protect the people in my place."
"But I can't stand up, and I can't see."
"Remember what I told you in my dream? As long as you inherit my power, you can get back on your feet and see things, don't you want to see what the world is like with your own eyes? The big fox tempted the girl with all his might.
"Yes!" The girl was very moved, but after thinking for a while, she lowered her head a little dejectedly, and said in frustration: "But protecting everyone is a very important thing, I am very timid, and I don't have the courage to protect everyone." ”
She pursed her mouth and almost couldn't help crying: "Why don't you let your sister protect everyone, Mr. Fox, my sister is a policeman, and she is also bravely protecting everyone, if she has the power of the gods, she will definitely be able to protect more." ”
Hearing her words, the big fox stood up angrily, and his small fist quickly landed on Totai Asako's head: "I'm the god of Totai Mountain, I said it's you, it's you!" As long as you have my strength, then you don't have the strength to protect everyone? ”
"But..."
Asako Todai was about to say something, but the big fox suddenly stood up.
He glanced into the distance in surprise, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but laugh: "Do you want to protect your sister?" ”
"My sister is 10,000 times more powerful than me!" Asako Todai spoke in a proud tone.
"But she's also a human being, and she's still vulnerable to monsters, and I saw her just now as if she had met a monster, and if you're not careful, you'll be killed."
Todai Sanjin's words made Todai Asako's body tighten, and her face couldn't hide her panic.
The big fox lowered his head and whispered in the girl's ear to tempt:
"How about it, do you want to inherit my power? Inherit my power and you will be able to save your sister. ”
......
Ayako Todai's search second department was temporarily ordered to be rerouted to the LUST Building in Taito Ward, and did her best to maintain the situation until other teams arrived to help.
New news kept coming along the way, and it seemed that things over there were over, and the youkai had left.
The members of the second department secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they still had to go, just like the mission of the Arakawa Police Station, their mission was changed to cordon off the scene, both to prevent people and reporters from taking pictures, and to protect the scene from destruction.
Three police cars and a police jeep were rampage on the road, and Ayako Todai sat in the passenger seat of the front police car, looking at the crowd in front of her, and suddenly instinctively felt trembling.
"Stop!"
Ayako Todai yelled, and the policeman in the driver's seat hurriedly braked, and the three cars behind also hurriedly stepped on the brakes and almost crashed into each other.
"Department chief, what are you doing, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have had a car accident, and I was almost scared to death."
"That's it!"
"Did the head of the department see the handsome guy?"
"That's it!"
Her teammates complained frantically in the team's internal communication, and Ayako Todai didn't care about it, she squinted her eyes and stared ahead for a while before slowly asking:
"Don't you think it's strange to look at the girl in white in front of you?"
The members of the second department looked ahead one after another.
There was a young girl in a white plain dress on the side of the road in front of her, who looked almost like a high school student, and she looked quite good, and she was standing on the side of the road with confused eyes and looking around.
"Why, boss, don't you believe my driving skills for fear that I will hit her?"
"What, I thought it was a handsome guy, it turns out that the head of the department also likes to look at beautiful women? But why the lower year? ”
"Do I know some terrible secret?"
The air of the second series was as joyful as ever, and Ayako Todai couldn't help but hold her forehead:
"I said you idiots, just joking and looking at the occasion, do you really think it's normal when you look at her skin?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at it again, the girl's skin was pale, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after listening to Todai Ayako's words, their eyes when they looked at the girl also changed, and the white skin became more and more terrifying.
"Sell!" A police officer swallowed: "Department chief, do you mean ......?"
"Ahh Ayako Todai nodded sadly, "I suspect we've run into a youkai." ”
"Didn't you say you'd already leave? How can it be such a coincidence! ”
"Captain, why are you looking so good?"
"That's it, dig it up."
After a period of gossip, the topic of the second series returned to what to do.
Todai Ayako took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll test her reaction first, maybe it's just because of illness." ”
Having said that, she was basically sure that the girl was a youkai, because what she said before was that 'looking at the skin color is strange' or something, and the real reason is because of her physical instinct.
At first sight of her, her instinct was reminding her to run, the instinctive fear of an ordinary person meeting a large carnivore, and even her boiling blood could not suppress that fear.
Even her master, the man who had almost won the title of Sword Master, had never given her such feelings, so she didn't think that humans could give herself this feeling, let alone a weak girl.
And the instinctive trembling in the face of the crushing life level, all she could think of was monsters.
