"Ok?"

Hearing the strange sound of collapse, Sousuke Araki curiously "tactically probed" behind the big tree, only to discover that there is another secluded path here.

On the side of the road not far from the big tree, a small wooden shrine like a birdcage was scattered all over the place at this moment.

This kind of simple shrine can be seen everywhere in the Japanese countryside, and most of them are substitutes in the case of unable to build a shrine.

Beside the collapsed shrine, an old woman with a kind face, folded hands, and wearing a plain robe was sitting cross-legged with her back to someone.

A stream of yellow water that came from nowhere was slowly flowing down the roots of the tree, forming a small puddle under the collapsed shrine and the old woman...

The "creeping" sound just now was probably the sound of the shrine falling to the ground and shattering.

"The foundation of this thing is too weak, it will collapse as soon as the water is soaked? Wait, no... It can't be such a coincidence..."

Seeing the old woman turn her head, put her hands together, and smile and nod at herself, Sousuke Araki skillfully pulled off his blindfold due to the strong sense of disobedience...

"Ha...haha, I-I knew..."

In the left eye, the mother-in-law is still the same mother-in-law, but there is a layer of white light on the body surface, it looks like the beauty filter has brightened the skin tone and the complexion is better.

However, on the surface of the parts of the shrine, there are countless substances like dark red blood scabs, which are dissipating as the transpired urine turns into gray-white gas...

Around the shrine, with the big tree as the center, there were densely packed blood-colored hand and footprints of different sizes and shapes.

"Mother...Mother-in-law...Excuse me, this bird's nest-like thing is..."

Taking a deep breath, Araki Sousuke curiously asked the mother-in-law for advice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of the mother-in-law's mouth moved slightly, and before she had time to outline a few words, it was already broken into countless spots of light, drifting towards the air.

"It's for you... what? Hey, can you make it clear before leaving..."

Helplessly scratching the back of his head, Sosuke Araki could only walk along this remote dark path towards the parking lot.

Although he was already a "qualified and legal" spirit remover, it was something that caught him off guard by being able to transcend the spirit body by urinating anywhere.

"Do you want feet..."

When he walked forward about ten meters, an old, hoarse and low voice sounded faintly behind him.

"What?"

Walking in a quiet alley, a voice suddenly appeared behind him. Sousuke Araki suddenly sweated on his forehead and turned his head stiffly...

An old woman with a short stature and a wrinkled face, but carrying a huge tattered cloth bag that was several laps larger than her entire body, stood behind him at some point.

She was wearing a dark red kimono that was as deep as blood, with white hair scattered all over her body. On her bloodless face, her deeply sunken eye sockets and fat eye bags almost concealed those squinting eyes, which were squinted because they had no teeth. The corners of their mouths together drew a gloomy smile.

Behind her, in the worn pocket made of the leather of some kind of creature, seemed to contain some kind of living creature, constantly changing shape due to the internal struggle.

No, isn't that what Watanabe-san said...

However, it doesn't look like it's running very fast.

Thinking of the urban legend of "the old woman who runs very fast" that he heard in the car before, Sousuke Araki didn't answer the other party's question, he just tore off the blindfold he had just put on with a blank face.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the "old woman" in front of him still made his heart pound.

Mother-in-law, still that terrifying-looking mother-in-law,

The only difference is the deep black resentment shrouded in mist like a mist...

The huge leather bag on the mother-in-law's back had turned into an unknown flesh mass composed of hundreds of human feet of different sizes, lengths, curly or straight, and covered in blood, squirming painfully behind her.

『So, the reason you run fast is because you have more feet on your back than the average person, can you take a rest instead? Wait, now is not the time to be cranky..."

"Do you want feet?"

Seeing that Sousuke Araki was silent, the mother-in-law asked again in a slightly more hasty tone than before.

"Well, it's my fault that I didn't urinate in the right place. Don't blame your old man... I'll definitely come over and rebuild it for you someday..."

Looking at her mother-in-law with a lot of feet on her back, Araki Sousuke hurriedly apologized with his hands folded.

That shrine, which should be someone in the service area, was set up to worship these "mother-in-laws" in private, but the "resonance" was lost by his own urine...

Who is to make sense of this.

"Do you want feet?!!!!"

Ignoring his explanation, the mother-in-law just asked more mournfully in a hoarse, sharp voice.

A strange feeling came to Araki Sosuke's heart.

This mother-in-law gives the impression that it is a third kind of existence that is completely different from the spirits, grievances, and the strange ghosts in the Suzusen execution grounds that I have encountered recently.

This seems to be a unique existence composed of extremely incomplete obsessions and souls, who can only follow certain rules or act instinctively, and even if he does not become a Buddha, it is difficult for him to communicate.

"Damn, at the critical moment, I just didn't feel it, I just ate so much ramen..."

Reaching out his hand to cover his abdomen, Sousuke Araki decided to "strike first", and began to brew some kind of "contactless spirit removal" secret technique.

"...Do you want feet?!!!!!!!"

After a shrill roar, the abominable-looking red-clothed mother-in-law seemed unwilling to wait, and suddenly fell on the ground, on all fours like an animal, carrying the "hill" formed by the person's feet on her back, moving towards Sousuke Araki. pounce.

"Looks like it's not as fast as the rumors say? 』

Although her crawling speed is fast, it is only the level of an ordinary person's trot, and it is not as exaggerated as the rumored car...

"Why don't you respect the old man and don't talk about martial arts... Wait, give me another chance..."

Without giving him time to exhaust at all, the old woman in red has already rushed forward, tore off a curly, **** foot from her back, and used the broken and **** end to move towards Sousuke Araki. Somewhere between the feet are shoved hard...

That gesture ~lightnovelpub.net~ seems to want to help Free him get on his "third leg".

"No, Sousuke is already strong enough for me to use...Water!!!"

Encountering this terrifying scene, Sousuke Araki couldn't care so much. He subconsciously sank back, bowed his waist and raised his feet, kicking the old woman who had rushed to the front...

Facing his swift kick, the old woman in mid-air grinned fearlessly, opened her dark toothless mouth, and took a bite...

At the same time, the "long leg" in her hand was also forcefully inserted into the territory of "Little Sosuke".

"Oh..."

In the sour mourning, the red-clothed mother-in-law shattered into a white spot from head to toe under someone's vigorous bombardment.

And the unknown number of human feet on her back fell from the sky like rain, and stood upright on the ground...

Like the seagrass swaying in the wind, those people's toes and forefingers crossed together, bowing slightly to Sousuke Araki, before slowly turning into white light and dissipating.
