Dragon Emperor Bureau.
Vivian sat in her office chair with her hands clasped together, quietly staring at the documents on her desk.
Those were two highly confidential documents, meaning they were brought back at a great cost.
On the first page of both documents was a photo of one person, a man and a woman.
It was Suzuka and Tetsuya at the video store.
"Found you! You damned thieving cat!"
Vivian's tone was somewhat gritted, as if she couldn't wait to find the girl in the file and tear her apart, her face frighteningly cold.
Long Er reported from the side, "Miss, the hacker group has found their previous Inter-Knot account, named Phaethon."
"The account cancellation and the Dragon Emperor's card being used occurred within the same month."
Vivian opened the file on the bell in front of her, the red light in her eyes growing increasingly intense:
"Rope craftsmen? What methods do they have to stop our hacking?"
An ordinary rope maker wouldn't have such skills.
"Miss, the hacker group says they haven't found anything, but..."
Long Er hesitated, unsure whether he should say what he was about to say.
Vivian raised her head, her face so cold that Long Er shivered. "Speak."
"They registered a new account and have been taking on commissions to make money lately. They just transferred some money to Dragon Emperor Emperor's card yesterday, so it seems like it's just a temporary loan."
"..."
Vivian paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her actions. "Heh, looks like she's not entirely heartless after all."
"Then I'll spare their lives, but since they've gotten close to my Brother Yingheng, they must pay the price! No one can escape it!"
"Understood, I will send someone to Sixth Street immediately..."
"No." Vivian tossed the documents back onto the table. "Send someone to keep watch first, then go find them when Brother Yingheng leaves..."
Hoshimi Family.
"When the god is resurrected, his beloved fox will also be reborn from the tomb."
"When the gods are revived..."
This was the 15th time Hoshimi Souichirou had murmured this phrase.
This message came from a small, yellowed piece of paper, personally delivered by Long Yi, who rarely makes an appearance.
Even after the guards at the door stopped him for two minutes, he suddenly attacked and injured them, rushing towards him with the guards.
The moment he saw Long Yi, he was actually a little angry. What could have made Long Yi so anxious?
Then Long Yi spoke, "The Dragon King sent me to deliver a message!"
Okay, that's definitely in a hurry.
However, he still hasn't understood the meaning of that sentence.
Love Fox?
Gods?
Can gods still exist in this world that's practically rotten to the core?
That's the existence of gods, so what's the point?
The world is already in such a state of chaos, why aren't you offering a helping hand?
Hoshimi Souichirou was skeptical about the existence of gods in this world, and he did not believe that the Hoshimi Family could be associated with gods.
"Honey, what are you doing here?"
Hoshimi Kiyohime walked over. "Haven't you figured out the message from the Dragon Emperor yet?"
"Of all the things the Hoshimi Family can be associated with, the only one is probably the shrine."
"A shrine?" Hoshimi Souichirou sighed. "You mean the shrine on the back mountain? It seems to have been abandoned for a long time."
"It's abandoned? What a pity. I heard that it was built with the help of the Dragon Emperor Bureau back then, so it must have been decades or even centuries ago, right?"
" Dragon Emperor Bureau?" Hoshimi Souichirou suddenly shuddered.
"You mean that the shrine was built with the help of the Dragon Emperor Bureau? That could very well be on the orders of the Dragon Emperor!"
Hoshimi Kiyohime looked at him in confusion. "Then what... huh? Is it related to the note?"
Hoshimi Souichirou grabbed his coat from the chair:
"Come with me! Let's go to the shrine! I think that's where the Dragon Emperor wants us to go!"
The mountain behind the Hoshimi Family.
A long-abandoned shrine, whose age is unknown, stands in the same spot, with a huge rock at the entrance in the distance, looking quite magnificent.
Hoshimi Souichirou was about to go inside, he saw the words on the large stone at the entrance and couldn't help but read them aloud, "Grave of the Beloved Fox."
Hoshimi Kiyohime looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly saying such strange things?"
Hoshimi Souichirou was even more surprised:
"Can't you see the words on the stone? They're in red! They're clearly visible!"
Hoshimi Kiyohime rolled her eyes at him. "Are you hallucinating? There's clearly nothing up there!"
Hoshimi Souichirou looked at the note in his hand, understood what was going on, quickly stuffed the note into his wife's hand, and then ran to the front of the shrine, looking around, trying to find some other clues.
Hoshimi Kiyohime quickly caught up. After receiving the note, she finally understood what had happened and the meaning of the note:
"Could it be that our ancestor is about to be resurrected? Inside this shrine? It's been abandoned for so long, how do we get in?"
Hoshimi Souichirou thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands. "Make a wish! Guess what shrines are for? Shrines are for making wishes!"
He immediately shouted it out loud:
"When the gods are resurrected, their beloved fox will also be reborn from the grave!"
The long-abandoned gate of the shrine was blown open by a sudden gust of wind, and the cold wind sent a chill down the spines of Hoshimi Souichirou and Hoshimi Kiyohime.
Hoshimi Kiyohime glanced over instinctively, only to find that the scene inside was completely different from the interior she had seen before when she visited this place.
This place is now a complete ancient tomb!
The dark, damp earth formed walls, leaving only a human-sized ice coffin in the center, radiating cold air and serving as the source of the eerie winds.
"BOOM!"
The lid of the ice coffin was instantly overturned, and a fox girl, soaking wet, sat up inside.
"Ugh... it's freezing!"
Hoshimi Souichirou and Hoshimi Kiyohime knelt down immediately; the person before them was very likely their ancestor.
"The current head of the Hoshimi Family family, Hoshimi Souichirou, and his wife, Hoshimi Kiyohime, pay homage to their ancestor!"
The fox girl's gaze lingered on their fox ears for a moment, then she uttered a sentence that sent a chill down their spines:
"Hmm... Could it be... that you are me, Yingheng, and our descendants?"
Hoshimi Souichirou, Hoshimi Kiyohime:Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
???
Three question marks instantly appeared in their minds.
Yingheng???
Isn't that the Dragon Emperor's name?
