"Shut up, Kudou, what did that boy give you before?"
Although Yosaburo looked at the old hemp net in Hino's hands with considerable hesitation.
But thinking of Yudou's identity and seeing his current smooth action of slaying the rat demons one by one, Yosaburo suddenly felt a surge of confidence.
Moreover, apart from giving it a try, they seemed to have no other options at the moment.
"Captain, this is what Yudou gave me before. He said that as long as it's attached to the net, it will work."
And Hino also took out the two blue talismans Yudou had given her, which were now covered with complex runes.
Upon seeing the talismans in Hino's hands, Yosaburo became even more convinced that the other party might indeed be the offspring of a shrine's yin-yang master.
"Can such a talisman really work? Could the other party be a legendary yin-yang master? Do such people really exist?
No, enough strange things have happened tonight. Since there are even such large rats, I might as well believe that the other party is a yin-yang master!"
Moreover, not only Yosaburo and Hino, but the others also firmly believed in Yudou's identity and thought their captain was indeed shrewd. If not for involving that boy, they might not have had a chance to survive tonight.
Yosaburo took the net from Hino and had another police officer hold the other end.
He then signaled with his eyes for Hino to take action. They were already at their wits' end and could only believe that Yudou was not lying to them.
Even though they thought it was absurd to use such a broken net to restrict the rat demons, they seemed to have no other choice.
However, after glancing at Yudou, who was fighting like a god, Yosaburo suddenly felt that such a "high person" would not deceive them in such a matter.
Hino, with trepidation, attached the blue, worn-out talisman to the hemp net.
Almost instantly, Yosaburo and the other person holding the net felt that the net had changed significantly.
The originally ordinary hemp rope suddenly began to emit a blue glow, and the rope, which was merely made of hemp, now seemed to be an incredibly tough unknown material.
The previously aggressive rat demons, upon sensing the demonic power emanating from the hemp rope, began to retreat slightly.
"Really works!" Seeing the reaction of the rat demons, Yosaburo was both amazed by the wonders of the world and overjoyed.
However, Hino timely poured cold water on the excited group.
"Captain, the boy named Tenjouin Yudou said that the talisman can only last for one minute."
Yudou gave her two talismans, meaning they could only last for two minutes. Their current situation was still far from optimistic.
Upon hearing Hino's reminder, Yosaburo looked at the giant rats in front of him and finally gritted his teeth and charged forward.
There was no way out; it wasn't that Yosaburo was not afraid of death, but given the current situation, they had no choice but to do this.
Moreover, from the beginning, the purpose of the net given to them was to restrict these large rats.
Although the sight of wolf-sized rats made Yosaburo's heart tremble, he decided to take a bold gamble rather than stand and wait to die.
However, it turned out that he had made the right bet! The big guys in the alley were now focused on Yudou and had no time to deal with Hino and the others.
Without the control of the rat king, the talisman imbued with Yudou's demonic power was enough to intimidate these low-level demons.
The significant difference in demonic power made the rat demons unable to resist. When Yosaburo charged over, they could only turn and flee.
The actions of the rat demons made Yosaburo, who was prepared to die, briefly stunned, and then burst into laughter.
He never thought he would be so awesome, and the monsters would run at the sight of him.
Seeing these wolf-sized rats being scared to run for their lives, Yosaburo's courage instantly grew, and he ran towards the densest part of the rat crowd with the net.
What surprised him even more was that he was now running as fast as a cheetah, and the agile rat demons could not even keep up with him!
Seeing Yosaburo's heroic performance, the other officer holding the net also mustered the courage to charge forward, forming a pincer movement with Yosaburo to encircle as many rat demons as possible and continuously reduce their activity space.
Feeling the threat to their lives, these low-intelligence rat demons began to tear at the net frantically.
However, the sharp teeth that could bite through car metal were now powerless against the ordinary-looking hemp net.
No matter how they tore at it, the net, which seemed ordinary, was as strong as steel, not moving an inch.
With only one minute left, Hino and the others drew their guns and opened fire on the rat demons in the net without aiming, just wildly spraying bullets.
The dense mass of rats made it unnecessary to aim; just spraying bullets was enough.
The one minute passed quickly, and as the talismans turned to ashes, a pile of rat corpses was left on the ground.
Seeing their achievements, Hino and the others were clearly more confident and prepared to rest for a moment before another round...
As for Yudou, he was now covered in blood, but none of it was his own; it was all from the rat demons.
The ground around him was littered with a large number of rat corpses, so many that they covered the entire area.
If Hino and the others saw this scene, they would certainly feel ashamed of their own self-congratulatory achievements.
Because despite their great efforts and the waste of a talisman that Yudou had exchanged for 100 reputation points, the number of rat demons they killed was less than one-tenth of Yudou's.
Yudou held a long sword in his right hand, and with each swing, a slash imbued with demonic power instantly took the lives of many rat demons.
The ground around him was marked with deep gashes, and the few rat demons that tried to take advantage of the gaps in Yudou's swings were crushed by his left hand.
Lifting and breaking the neck of a nearly 100-pound rat with one hand was as easy as cracking a peanut, though not as strong as a true demon, his half-demon physique far exceeded that of ordinary humans.
With the demonic power he now possessed, these D-level rat demons did not even require the use of sword techniques.
Each slash imbued with demonic power could claim many lives!
The large demon he had sensed earlier seemed to realize that Yudou was not an easy opponent and remained hidden, controlling the large number of rat demons to attack Yudou.
The rat king, hiding in the dark, naturally knew that Yudou was not an easy opponent, as evident from the demonic power emanating from Yudou.
However, it was not willing to give up. The world was beginning to change, and the demonic aura was reviving.
Although the rat king did not know why, as a pure-blooded demon, it could keenly sense the changes in the world.
The golden age of demons was approaching, and if it did not seize the opportunity, how could it survive in the coming golden age?
Demons, like humans, were also subject to the law of the jungle. If it could seize this opportunity, it might become a powerful demon in the future!
Therefore, the rat king even abandoned its fear of humans and began attacking them, using them to supplement its demonic power and secure a place in the coming golden age of demons.
Why should rat demons always be the weakest? With enough demonic power, the rat king believed it could break the racial limitations and become the chosen demon!
