The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 130: Training trip (3)

After beating a bunch of newbies on the billiard table, Qian Xiaoyi felt refreshed. After putting the spoils back in the room, he began to stroll around the hotel to see if there were any safety hazards. Since it was an old hotel, there might be some eerie places like sealed rooms.

While wandering around, Qian Xiaoyi discovered that there were other guests in the hotel besides their group. However, if it only relied on these few people, the hotel would have closed down long ago. After talking to them, he learned that these people were from nearby cities, and they chose to stay here for a few days because they didn't want to join the crowds in those popular attractions and wanted to have some peace and quiet.

Qian Xiaoyi walked around the hotel and it seemed to be a very ordinary family hotel, which seemed to be renovated and expanded from an original Japanese-style house. The courtyard and layout were very ordinary, and there was no place that was specially blocked off from entry, and there was no sense of strange atmosphere.

After eliminating the safety hazard, Qian Xiaoyi relaxed a little. After all, no one wants to have danger where they sleep. It's not that he is too cautious, but Kawasaki makes him have to be more careful. This guy is like an idiot who seeks death in a horror movie. No one knows when he will die. It's always better to be prepared.

Afterwards, Qian Xiaoyi took out his cell phone and looked at it, then went out and walked to an open space not far away, pretending to look at the stars, but actually met someone.

"By the way, why did you come this time?" Qian Xiaoyi looked up at the starry sky that could not be seen in the city and said, "I thought you were not interested in these activities at all~"

Suzuki replied: “I’m definitely not interested.”

Qian Xiaoyi turned around curiously and asked, "Oh? Then why did you come?"

Suzuki sighed, "My mother heard about you from others. She thought that since you were able to defeat the president, you must be more powerful than those people. When Kawasaki called me and asked if I wanted to come to the training camp, he also mentioned that you were going too. My mother heard it, so she cried and begged me..."

"Okay, I already know, no need to say more." Qian Xiaoyi sympathized, "You really have a mother who is a headache for you. Fortunately, I am not a bad guy with bad intentions, otherwise she would push you into the fire pit."

Qian Xiaoyi has seen many such people, who have a self-consistent logic and will not wake up no matter what you say. Waking up means the collapse of the pillars of their spiritual world. So they will do their best to maintain this logic and let the people around them believe in it, because in their cognition, this is a "good" thing.

"It's because you don't look like a bad person that I came here." Suzuki said, "At least this will keep her quiet for a while."

Qian Xiaoyi teased, "You look so troubled, do you need my help to fool your mother?"

Suzuki rolled his eyes speechlessly: "No need, Mom has started to work normally recently. If she contacts you again, she might get addicted to those weird things again."

"Okay." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Then let's get down to business. Have you found out? That thing."

Suzuki nodded: "Well, I asked Yui about some of the causes and consequences, but I can't guarantee whether it is accurate. She is a person who likes to exaggerate when she speaks."

"Who is Yui?" Qian Xiaoyi was stunned.

Suzuki gave him a strange look and said, "The girl who came with us, Maeda Yui, you have met her several times, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi thought for a while, then suddenly realized that it was the fat girl. He only knew her name now, and said: "Go on, about Miss Ono, what happened to her last summer vacation? Why did she come back here?" "Yui said she didn't know the details." Suzuki said: "Among the people who came this time, only Kawasaki senior and Ono senior were here last year, and the others have resigned."

Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Where is that very strong Miyamoto? He seems to be a sophomore as well? He didn't come last year either?"

"He is actually a member of the judo club." Suzuki said, "It seems that he heard that Ono-senpai was coming, so he asked Kawasaki-senpai to join him. It seems that he even postponed the judo club's summer training."

Qian Xiaoyi understood: "A flower protector, huh... No wonder he was so attentive on the road, I didn't realize that the gloomy Xiaoye was so popular."

Suzuki said: "I heard from Yui that Ono-senpai's image was not like this last year. At that time, she dyed her hair and had a cheerful personality. She was considered a hot girl type of person and had many admirers in school. But after last summer vacation, she became like this."

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and thought, sometimes this situation will occur when a person's soul is damaged after being overly frightened, but speaking of hot girls... Qian Xiaoyi's mind emerged with the image of those dark-skinned Shibuya hot girls with exaggerated makeup, covered in black, like demons, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"It turns out that Miss Ono, who looks so quiet and gentle, was actually like that last year..." Qian Xiaoyi thought.

Suzuki said helplessly: "The kind of black-skinned hot chicks with mountain makeup that you imagine are outdated. Nowadays, as long as you dye your hair and wear a slightly unrestrained style, you can be called a hot chick."

Qian Xiaoyi was shocked: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You can tell from his expression." Suzuki said.

"Ahem...go on." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Suzuki adjusted his glasses and continued, "Yui didn't experience the specific situation, but she asked former club members and heard that the activities organized by Kawasaki were not surprising. They told ghost stories at night, held courage tests, and went for a walk in the mountains. But on the night before leaving, when everyone was preparing to go to bed early, they found that Ono-senpai was missing. She was finally found in the wild. At that time, she was already unconscious, and it was the villagers who took her to the nearest hospital."

"What about her own version of events?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Have you asked her?"

"I asked her, but she said she didn't remember it either," Suzuki said.

"Yeah... I understand." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. These contents were similar to what Kawasaki told him. He had asked Kawasaki about these things privately before, but the boy knew nothing about them. But it can be seen that he was not deliberately not telling the truth, but he really didn't know.

"Have you asked her why she still comes here?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"Yeah." Suzuki nodded: "She said she also wanted to know what happened last year, so she came again."
