Chapter 569 Catch them all in one fell swoop

Tamamonomae, the demon king who has been ranked among the top three Japanese monsters for many years, often appears in many movies, TV shows and games. His image and personality vary, but he is always very popular.

Xia Mo didn’t expect that the nine-tailed fox, which had brought disaster to the country and the people, could be so cowardly. As a fox demon, one must have backbone!

Xia Mo raised her sword and placed it on Tamamonomae’s neck, scaring her so much that she trembled like a sieve and let out a whimpering sound to show her weakness.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but most of the gods and monsters that appear in Japan are very cowardly.

But I’m sorry, Tamamonomae-chan, you may be able to fool Aso Makoto and Eri by pretending to be a poor little thing, but it won’t work on Xia Mo who possesses the talent of [Queen Bee].

Tamamonomae: I am as green as a rookie in front of Xia Mo.

Therefore, Xia Mo remained unmoved. She pressed down slightly, cut the fur and touched Tamamonomae’s skin, letting her feel the coolness of the sword.

“babble–!”

“Tell me! Who sent you here!” Xia Mo’s eyes were fierce.

“No one. I’m all alone, so how can I have any companions?” Tamamonomae said aggrievedly.

“Then why did you want to murder Zhen?”

“My lord, I am innocent. How can such a thing between girls be considered murder?” Tamamonomae refused to listen to this. She raised her fox paws and said in defense, “Although I am a fox demon, I swear I have never done anything that is against heaven and earth. Otherwise, I will be punished by heaven and earth and struck by lightning.”

Xia Mo laughed disdainfully when she heard this. “You almost ruined your innocence. What’s more terrible is the mental torture. Do you think everyone is like you and doesn’t care about meat or vegetables? What if you are left with a psychological trauma?”

Zhen didn’t say anything after hearing this, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

“And you are Tamamonomae. Who would believe Tamamonomae if she said she was a good person?” Xia Mo disagreed. In her impression, Tamamonomae was always a bad woman with a bad heart.

“You are stereotyping, and stereotypes are not desirable,” said Tamamonomae.

“Stop talking nonsense. If you confess, I will treat you leniently. If you resist, I will treat you severely. Tell me all the bad things you have done.” Xia Mo said with a stern face.

Then she heard Tamamo chattering on and on.

“Okay, okay…”

Tamamonomae told everything about her time as a little fox. Foxes eat voles, so she even told how many voles she had eaten. This is a sin of killing.

Xia Mo was speechless, but Eri and Asou Makoto listened with great interest.

“In order to cultivate to adulthood as soon as possible, I have a very self-disciplined life. I practice every day before the sun comes out and only drink a little dew at noon. This is called fasting…”

The little fox hadn’t finished telling the story of her struggle, so Xia Mo went straight to the point and asked her who got the name Tamamonomae and whether she was the monster in Japanese mythology who brought disaster to the country and the people?
Later, he was discovered by the Onmyoji Abe Yasuchika and eventually killed, and turned into the Killing Stone after his death.

Tamamonomae had a complicated expression when she heard this, and she whispered.

“The name Tamamonomae was given to me by my mother. She is a very good person.”

“As for whether I am a monster that brings disaster to the country and the people… Alas, the prejudice in people’s hearts is as huge as a mountain. If I say that I am doing this for revenge, do you believe me?”

“I really don’t believe it, because you have a criminal record.” Xia Mo said, “Although stereotypes are not desirable, it’s too easy for you to get away with it just by saying a few words. Logically speaking, you should have died after seeing me. How can you still tell the story of the little fox’s struggle?”

Tamamonomae was silent. She turned her neck and looked as if she was ready to be killed or cut into pieces as the emperor wished.

Regarding the disposal of Tamamonomae, generally speaking, she would be executed on the spot. However, Tamamonomae is a rare monster with extremely high intelligence and can communicate. She still has certain value, for example, as an undercover monster infiltrating.

Finally, after a discussion, they decided to temporarily detain Tamamonomae and wait for further discussion. The execution would have to wait until autumn, so the little fox could be spared for the time being.

However, as one of the three great monsters, Tamamonomae’s revival is a sign, foreshadowing the awakening of other powerful monsters or gods.

The other two monsters are Shuten-doji and Daitengu.

Monsters are basically evil.

In fact, there is little difference between Japanese monsters and gods. Monsters can be gods, and gods can be monsters. The eight million gods are just a lot of fillers.

Amaterasu has tried very hard to suppress the growth of her strength, but just like some outrageous systems, she can become stronger just by breathing, and there is nothing she can do.

During the days that Xia Mo stayed in Tokyo, the coverage phenomenon in all parts of the world was gradually intensifying, which reminded Xia Mo that time was running out and she could not continue to waste it in Tokyo.

The exorcist Xia Mo has stopped her business, and the next one to appear is the Xia Mo Killer. At that time, no matter whether the monsters are good or bad, anyone who steps into the trap designed by Xia Mo will die.

Specifically, Xia Mo thought of a solution and told the person involved.

“Are you crazy?” Amaterasu was shocked when she heard this.

“No,” Xia Mo shrugged. “Instead of wasting time looking for them one by one, it’s better to find a way to catch them all in one fell swoop.”

“You don’t have to suppress the speed of your recovery. When the time comes, you can attract all the monsters and gods of a certain level and I will take care of them.”

This plan reminded Amaterasu of the samurai girl, just as crazy and arrogant.

“…You are really a lunatic.” Amaterasu looked into Xia Mo’s eyes and subconsciously saw her as a samurai girl. She was silent for a long time and said, “Although my kingdom of God system is not strong, there are many strong people such as Yuedu Ming, Susanoo, Takemiya Raijin, Yamata no Orochi, Shuten Douji, etc. If you underestimate the enemy, you will die miserably.”

“One month later, outside Tokyo.” Xia Mo replied.

“…Okay.” Amaterasu agreed. She wanted to see how strong Xia Mo was.

At that time, if Aso really knows how to act as bait, he will naturally be happy to help the girl Xia Mo. Wouldn’t it be a chance to repay the favor?

Belief is the best courage drug in the world, which enables people to face terrifying things.

A month later, there was a mountain range outside Tokyo. This was the private property of the Sheqi family. The family had purchased a large amount of land.

That night, the moonlight shines into the front hall of the shrine on the top of the mountain, and the gods enshrined in the shrine have kind faces.

Makoto Asou took a bath and changed her clothes into a shrine maiden’s kimono. Her long hair hung vertically. She knelt on a bun, with a sun like a golden pattern between her eyebrows.

The girl’s temperament is somewhere between youthful and sacred, as if two personalities occupy one body at the same time.

Eri knelt beside Makoto Aso and watched her without saying anything. The protagonists tonight were Makoto Aso and Xia Mo, and Eri only needed to watch.

Aso Shin closed her eyes, then opened them as if she sensed something, and a flash of divinity flashed in her eyes.

Asou Makoto’s face showed no emotion. He turned to look at Eri and whispered.

“They’re coming.”

Who is coming?
Hundred Ghosts at Night.

The gods climbed the mountain.
