The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 107: Fierce Fight! Seven Wonders of Campus! (4)

"The seven mysteries of the campus?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "It should be the information for passing the level. Different schools should have their own versions of the legend, right? Do you know which ones are listed here?"

Kawasaki pushed his glasses up with his index finger and said confidently, "That's not a problem for me. Let me guess. The first one should be a very common legend - the changing portrait. This is easy to guess."

"Second, I don't know what 'this guy' is, but based on my guess, it should be the mannequin that moved by itself, because none of the options in the following items match him."

"The third one, Hanako in the toilet, is also very famous."

"The fourth one is the sound of a piano that suddenly rang out in the empty music classroom."

"Article 5, this is too vague and unclear."

"The sixth is the legend of the nonexistent thirteen steps leading to an unknown world."

"Article 7... This one is also very vague. Is it just life? Or is it bait? What does this mean?"

Suzuki said: "The light life should refer to the flashlights in our hands, right? It looks like it will run out of power soon."

Kawasaki's eyes lit up. "I see. This setting is very clever. The power in the flashlight is used to replace the time limit. No wonder there is no time limit at the entrance... Wait, doesn't that mean that it's a waste for us to use four flashlights now?"

He quickly turned off his flashlight and said, "Let's just use one flashlight, right? That will quadruple the time."

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "Don't forget the last sentence. It's just bait. There will be ghosts attacking the person who turns on the flashlight. If they are caught, they may be wiped out, and the efficiency of passing the level will be very low. So the correct grouping is two people each, taking turns to use the flashlight."

"That makes sense!" Kawasaki said, "I want to be in a group with Mr. Qian."

"...Okay." Qian Xiaoyi was a little disgusted with this guy, but he still agreed. First, the other party had spent money and was still counting time, so it would be unprofessional to refuse. Second, this guy was really not easy to deal with. Although it seemed that there was nothing dangerous here, what if? What if this guy created another slit-mouthed woman, that would be terrible.

"That's it, I'll leave the other side to you guys." Qian Xiaoyi said. This way they could split up and let Ajian and Inuyama Heita check if there were any unusual phenomena on the other side. After all, there was a time limit for normal play, so this arrangement was suitable.

"Leave it to me!" Ajian gave Qian Xiaoyi a thumbs up.

So after entering the "school", they separated, one walking on the left and the other walking on the right.

"It's really changed." Kawasaki said excitedly beside Qian Xiaoyi, "The last time I came here, it was still a Japanese-style theme, with old houses and all, and the layout is completely different... But it should still be two floors, so there's a lot of room to explore~ This place is really scary... Ah, the portrait is moving! It's moving!"

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the compass and replied perfunctorily. This haunted house was indeed good in creating an atmosphere, but it was still too childish for him. This was also the reason why he had never been to a haunted house. He could see through the scary tricks inside at a glance.

Suddenly, Qian Xiaoyi stopped, and Kawasaki asked, "Teacher Qian, did you find something?"

"I did find it." Qian Xiaoyi said calmly: "While walking, I suddenly found a motionless human model in the corridor... It's actually quite scary." Kawasaki then realized that the person sitting next to the corridor was the staff member who pretended to be the human specimen model. Because the lighting was dim and the other party was motionless, he had not noticed it before.

“I was comforted instead…” Ah Zheng said with a wry smile: “Well, I wanted to scare Mr. Qian, but I can only say that he is worthy of being an exorcist. Ah, we shouldn’t chat. It’s working hours now. Uncle will scold me if he finds out.”

Kawasaki was speechless. This guy said a lot and the originally scary atmosphere was gone in an instant. It was too distracting.

Qian Xiaoyi didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "Go scare the girl over there. If you can scare her, I'll give you a talisman."

"Really?" Ah Zheng was eager to try: "It seems that Mr. Qian underestimates me. I have been the scariest employee in the horror house for half a year. I will let you see my strength. You are just a high school girl. Even if you are Miss Suzuki, don't expect me to show mercy!"

Having said that, he ran away maintaining the stiff posture of a mannequin. If it were an ordinary tourist, he might really be scared.

Kawasaki hesitated and said, "By the way... Mr. Qian, isn't it bad to treat a girl like this? If Suzuki is really scared... it will be very troublesome if a girl starts crying."

"She's not that easily scared. Want to make a bet?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "If I lose, I'll treat you to dinner later. If you lose, you can treat me. How about that?"

Kawasaki touched his chin and said, "Hmm... It seems very interesting. Since Mr. Qian said so, let's take a gamble and see. I'm also curious about what Suzuki looks like when he's scared..."

On the other side, Inuyama Heita and Suzuki entered a studio with many portraits on the walls. Ken reminded them, "Hey, Inuyama, this portrait has shed tears of blood. There are things that can be taken out of the painting. They should be quest props. Come and get them."

"Don't be afraid of the tears in the portraits in the gallery, be sure to find one and take the internal organs in your hand..." Inuyama Heita remembered the precautions and walked towards the portrait with tears of blood. Sure enough, there was a beating heart embedded in the painting. He reached out to take it, but the moment he grabbed the heart, a pair of bloody hands suddenly stretched out from the painting and grabbed his hands.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!” Inuyama Heita was frightened.

"Huff, huff, huff~ I actually fell for it and was scared to the point of screaming. The Inuyama family is really useless." Ajian covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Suzuki adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "So the staff has been hiding in the back? It's really a bit scary."

Inuyama Heita covered his chest, frightened. He gasped and said, "Suzuki-san... why do I feel like you sound a little gloating? It's really scary to be grabbed by a hand suddenly reaching out from the painting!"

As a psychic, he has seen countless ghosts, but he would still be frightened by the sudden shock in such a depressing environment. It has nothing to do with courage, it is purely human instinct.

"Yes, yes, I won't tell anyone about this." Suzuki smiled with a hint of disdain, which reminded Inuyama Heita of an event in the past.

"I had forgotten about that incident. This woman is no ordinary woman." Inuyama Heita thought to himself, "She could actually do such a thing..."
