For some reason, Shendu seemed unable to form contracts with the people of this world.
By all rights, according to the setting, he could also be considered the Fire Devil, holding dominion over flame.
Yet he was unable to complete the act of “contracting.” Because of that, when it came to Valmont and the Black Hand, he could only rely on the Treasure of the Golden Rooster to make verbal agreements and have them work for him.
In fact, that suited Shendu just fine.
After all, as everyone knew, Shendu never kept his promises.
If he had truly signed a contract, wouldn’t he have had to hand over the treasure obediently?
But that line of thinking changed after Su Tang arrived.
Su Tang guessed it was probably because he had transmigrated—body and all—that Shendu was somehow able to establish a contract with him.
Because of that, Shendu successfully exploited a loophole in the seal and bugged out the righteous magic binding him.
And once Su Tang had that connection to Shendu, his status within the Black Hand rose sharply, almost to the point where he was not beneath Valmont.
That was where the five hundred thousand dollars he brought to Tokyo had come from.
Hearing Shendu’s words now, Su Tang’s eyelid twitched.
He asked inwardly, “Shendu, you’re awake?”
“Not fully.
I still require more sleep to maintain stability.”
The hoarse voice rang low by Su Tang’s ear.
“I sensed the aura of a Devil and woke ahead of time to take a look.”
“Can you deal with it, kid?”
Hearing Shendu’s answer, Su Tang let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.
It was best that he had not fully awakened.
After all, as far as Su Tang was concerned, the only good Shendu was a sleeping Shendu.
Even if this was only a remnant shadow, the pressure it gave him was no less than the statue itself.
If it stayed awake every day, Su Tang felt that sooner or later, he too would join the ranks of the mentally ill.
So he immediately replied in his mind, “Don’t worry, Shendu.
I can handle a small problem like this.
You go back to sleep.”
There was no reply.
Most likely, Shendu had returned to slumber.
Only then did Su Tang raise his head and look at the girl twisted over the floor.
During the time he had been talking to Shendu, she had already picked up the knife from the ground and was now using it like a mirror, admiring her own legs in intoxicated delight.
He had to admit, if he looked at it purely from the perspective of someone who appreciated legs, the girl truly had excellent taste.
Every leg she had collected was top-tier—long, fair, smooth, and perfectly shaped.
Su Tang slid his chair back to the desk and reached out to open the drawer on his left.
It was very empty.
There was only one thing inside.
Something pitch-black, gleaming with a metallic luster.
A gun.
However, Su Tang merely glanced at it before pushing the drawer closed again.
That was not what he was looking for.
A gun was too sensitive.
In this world, even America had banned firearms, let alone Japan.
If he still wanted to continue running this private clinic, it would be best not to expose the fact that he possessed a gun.
As for why he had a gun in the first place…
Naturally, he had gotten it from the Black Hand.
Gun control was gun control.
That did not stop firearms from being bought and sold on the black market.
As a “famous international criminal organization,” it should not have been particularly difficult for the Black Hand to acquire guns.
Su Tang opened the drawer on his right.
At that moment, the girl’s voice suddenly sounded from across the desk.
“Doctor, you’re very calm.
You remind me of the owner of the fourth leg I collected.
He was a Devil Hunter.
Are you one too, Doctor?”
“Me?
I don’t do that.”
Su Tang shook his head.
“As you can see, I’m a doctor.”
As he spoke, he picked up the short baton from the drawer.
“So, are you certain you want to give up treatment?
In my professional experience, you can still be saved.”
Faced with Su Tang’s “benevolent heart as a healer,” the girl clearly did not buy it.
She licked her lips excitedly, stared obsessively at Su Tang’s lower body, and said, “Legs are even more beautiful when they’re moving.
Doctor, become part of the Leg Devil with me!”
That aggressive gaze made Su Tang’s face darken by several shades.
He placed his thumb on the baton’s switch and sighed.
“Forget it.
I take back what I just said.
There’s no saving you.”
Go die.
With a faint buzz, a blue-green light crackling with arcs of electricity lit up from one end of the short baton.
It was about half a meter long, condensed and steady without dispersing.
This was an electro-sword—the Black Hand’s most advanced weapon on public record.
It had once appeared in the very first episode of Jackie Chan Adventures.
Although its battle record had been terrible, that was because its opponent had been too much of a walking cheat.
The electro-sword itself was not to blame.
Now, Su Tang was going to restore the electro-sword’s reputation.
The instant Su Tang pressed the button, the girl’s interested gaze shifted from Su Tang’s legs to the short baton.
She lay on the floor and lifted her upper body—like a centipede, countless legs beside her supporting her balance—then swiftly crawled up onto Su Tang’s desk.
Smack.
The glass cup full of hot water was shoved off the desk by the dense mass of legs.
It fell to the floor and shattered into several pieces.
“Doctor, are you going to resist?
You are, aren’t you?
Ahaha!
Prey that fights back is always the most exciting!”
Their positions had now changed.
The girl was looking down at Su Tang from above, an inexplicable sickly flush spreading across her face.
She extended the third leg on her right side and stepped toward Su Tang’s face.
The force behind that foot was not heavy.
Rather than stepping on him, it was closer to a caress.
The fair, tender size-six foot grew larger and larger in Su Tang’s pupils, casting a broad shadow over his face.
Taking a deep breath, Su Tang’s brows furrowed unnaturally.
Bzzzz—!
The electro-sword’s distinctive vibrating sound cut through the air, bringing with it a scorched smell as it returned to Su Tang’s hand.
A hundredth of a second later, the fair, jade-like leg that had been only ten centimeters from Su Tang fell in response.
The corner of Su Tang’s mouth split into a grin.
He raised his head and met the girl’s stunned gaze, his tone rather regretful.
“Sorry.
I’m on Team Black Stockings.
Bare feet aren’t my thing.”
Time froze for half a second.
Perhaps the pain from the severed limb, instantly charred by a powerful current, finally flared up.
Or perhaps Su Tang’s words had struck her fury directly.
Either way, the girl’s expression suddenly twisted.
“Heretic…”
“A heretic of the black-stocking faction!”
“All black stockings should just die!”
A hideous voice came from her constantly writhing throat.
The girl lowered her head, her face gloomy, and brought the short knife in her hand down viciously at Su Tang.
Good!
Su Tang’s eyes lit up.
He had not expected that one sentence to be so effective.
Sure enough, heretics—stocking lovers—were more hated than infidels—non-leg lovers.
As that thought flashed through his mind, the electro-sword in Su Tang’s hand shot upward, moving faster than the falling blade and intercepting it first despite moving second.
Crackle!
The deliberately lowered current surged rapidly through the short knife and into the girl’s body.
“Oaahhhhhhhhhhn!”
The girl’s eyes went wide from the electric shock.
The countless beautiful legs along her sides trembled and spasmed violently in midair.
Then they abruptly stiffened, and her entire body collapsed onto the desk like a dead snake.
Seeing this, Su Tang did not relax his guard.
Instead, he tightened his grip on the electro-sword and raised the current again.
“Leg Devil.
Still not planning to come out?”
