Tomohisa Higashino rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed, and said, "I think you and the boss of Xiaji Group seem to have a pretty good relationship."
"If possible, could you please speak to them on my behalf? I would like to represent the Higashino family and request that the acquisition be terminated."
Kui Kui glanced at Xia Tian, who was calling the police in the living room, and replied, "This project is probably doomed."
"That's good."
Seeing his relieved expression, Kui Kui couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, why were you so resistant to this project?"
"As far as I know, although Xiaji Group has acquired your store, it has hired Higashino Yoshi as a design consultant. The dolls produced in the future will also bear the mark of the Higashino family. The craftsmanship of the Higashino family will also be known to more people, and may even be carried forward."
"This is a craft from my country, how can it be handed over to the Chinese!" Higashino Tomohisa said, his eyes wide, his dark aura deepening.
Kui Kui immediately understood that this was another obsession in his heart, which was why he was unwilling to leave.
"I am also Chinese, why are you willing to pass on your puppetry skills to me?"
“That’s different! Craftsmanship is craftsmanship, and sorcery is sorcery.”
"Senior, if I told you that you might be Chinese, would you let go of this obsession?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, little girl!"
"I was born in the country of Little Japan. My father and grandfather were both from Little Japan. If it weren't for a change in my family, I wouldn't have come to China to make a living."
According to the "Dongye Chronicle", Dongye originated from the Ji surname. The Yellow Emperor's surname was Gongsun and his given name was Xuanyuan. He was born in Ji River and changed his surname to Ji.
"After King Wu destroyed the Shang dynasty, he enfeoffed his meritorious officials. The Duke of Zhou (Ji Dan) was the first to be enfeoffed in Lu. However, the Duke of Zhou did not accept the enfeoffment and stayed to assist King Wu."
"In the first year of King Cheng, Bo Qin, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhou, was enfeoffed in Lu on behalf of his father and became the Duke of Lu. The Duke of Lu had three sons: the eldest was Xi, the second was Xi, and the third was Yu. The Duke of Lu gave his third son Yu a field in the east of the field to support himself, so he took Dongye as his surname and Tian as his given name."
Kui Kui recounted the history he had recorded, but deliberately concealed the fact that the place name and surname also existed in the country of Little Days.
"really?"
Kui Kui took out his phone, searched for the entire "Higashino Chronicles" on the spot, and showed it to Higashino Tomohisa.
Tomohisa Higashino laughed and said, "Little girl, are you trying to fool this old man? Even if there is a surname Higashino in China, it doesn't mean that I am Chinese."
Although Tomohisa Higashino said this, the dark aura between his brows gradually dissipated, and his body felt much lighter.
He heard the tolling of bells and knew it was time to leave.
Kui Kui sensed the change in the surrounding aura and took a step back.
Then two ghost messengers appeared out of thin air beside Higashino Tomohisa.
"Tomohisa Higashino, you used puppetry to injure two girls, and then used puppetry to evade the underworld officials. Get ready to be judged!"
Tomohisa Higashino nodded slightly, then turned to say goodbye to Aoi Kui.
"Little girl, thank you. Thank you for being willing to follow in my footsteps, and thank you for your understanding. I was too attached to appearances; going back further, we were all transformed from monkeys."
"Ultimately, people have to bear the consequences of their mistakes." Tomohisa Higashino glanced at Yoshihisa Higashino one last time, it was unclear whether he was referring to himself or Yoshihisa Higashino.
He sighed and prepared to leave with the ghost messenger.
"Wait a moment!"
Kui Kui called out to him, "Senior, I don't know your name yet."
"Tomohisa Higashino".
Kui Kui nodded slightly, watching him and the ghost messenger leave.
She clasped her hands together and recited the Heart Sutra seven times and the Great Compassion Mantra seven times, dedicating the merit to Tomohisa Higashino.
Xiao Bai clicked his tongue and said, "Why do you care whether that old man lives or dies? He created his own mess, why are you paying for it?"
Kui Kui walked to the bedside table drawer, found the wooden box that Higashino Tomohisa had mentioned, and said indifferently, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats another man's food is bound to him."
"If you've learned someone else's spells, it wouldn't be right to not give anything in return, would it?"
While assault may not punish one to the deepest level of hell, it will still result in punishment.
If Tomohisa Higashino's son had any filial piety and properly arranged things for his father, such as inviting a high-ranking monk or Taoist priest to perform rituals and setting up a memorial tablet in a temple, Tomohisa Higashino's days in the underworld wouldn't be too difficult.
But Higashino Yoshi is currently in dire straits himself, and he hasn't even been able to fulfill his filial duties to his living father, so how could he possibly care about the deceased Higashino Tomohisa?
Tomohisa Higashino entered the underworld, where the judge summarized his life story and originally intended to send him to the fourth level, the Mirror of Karma.
Considering that he took the initiative to admit his mistakes to Kui Kui, showed remorse, and that Kui Kui recited scriptures for him to repay his debts.
The judge saw that he had some ability when he was alive, so he gave him a chance to make amends by giving him a minor position in the underworld.
Tomohisa Higashino was extremely grateful to Aoi, which explains why Aoi specifically asked for his name before he left.
After retrieving the wooden box, Kui Kui said goodbye to Xia Tian and went home.
The house was empty; Kui Ziyu and Yan Shi'an were nowhere to be seen.
Normally, this would be quite normal, but for some reason today, Kui Kui felt uneasy.
Call Kui Ziyu immediately.
It wasn't until the third call that the call connected.
Kui Ziyu's voice was somewhat hoarse, and she seemed very tired.
"What's wrong, Aoi? Is something the matter?"
"We ran into a little trouble, but we've resolved it. Where are you and Mom?"
"We're in Wangjia Village, visiting your maternal grandmother."
Kui Kui's heart skipped a beat, and his heart began to race.
She hurriedly asked, "Is Grandma alright? Did something happen?"
