The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 172 Competition Part 12 ()

"Wait." Qian Xiaoyi finally spoke: "Ms. Lingnai, are you sure your client can do it? The exorcism ritual just now must have consumed a lot of his energy. If we continue, it may cause damage to his body and mind. I suggest we stop here today."

Lin Guangyilang, wearing a mask, did look tired. His previous state seemed to be a loss of consciousness, but in fact it was a manifestation of high mental concentration. This level of concentration almost made Lin Guangyilang forget the existence of his real body. He was concentrating on playing the identity in his subconscious, so he was naturally tired.

Qian Xiaoyi said this not just to stop Suzuna's behavior. In the past, when Lin Guangichiro lost control, he was only playing one identity. He had no experience of playing different identities continuously. He could not guarantee whether Lin Guangichiro would have any sequelae from such high-intensity performance.

Qian Xiaoyi suddenly spoke up and the camera turned to him. The audience then remembered that there was such a person as Qian Xiaoyi. Taunting words kept floating across the tablet:
[What is this guy talking about? Is he trying to cause trouble?]

[Hey, Suzuna-chan, hurry up and kick this irrelevant person out. Don't let him disturb the exorcism ceremony. ]

[I'm only halfway through watching this, this guy is really ruining the atmosphere. ]

[Are you trying to steal our business? Go back to the mainland! ]

"Don't say that, Mr. Qian does have a point." Ling Nai maintained her smile and actually agreed with Qian Xiaoyi. She turned to Lin Guangyilang and said with concern: "Mr. Client, do you think you need to take a rest?"

Lin Guangyilang took a deep breath and said, "No need, I feel good now, let's continue."

"Are you still intoxicated by the afterglow of the emotions you just released?" Qian Xiaoyi frowned and thought to himself, "People who have experienced great joy and great sorrow will feel relaxed, but this does not mean that they are not tired. They just haven't gotten over the excitement yet. That woman took advantage of this and made him continue to immerse himself in it, unable to extricate himself."

The client was determined to continue, and Qian Xiaoyi had no good reason to stop him, so he suggested, "In that case, Mr. Client, can I try the next thing? After all, Master Gui Teng and I accepted this commission together, so we can't just do nothing."

It can be seen that Lin Guangichiro still wants Suzuna to continue, but Lin Guangichiro was informed of their competition in advance and agreed to it. If only one party is allowed to operate in the commission, it would be too biased.

So, due to his face, Lin Guangyilang could only say reluctantly: "Yes, I'll leave it to you."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded. Since he couldn't stop it, he might as well join in and disrupt the other party's plans.

Ling Nai was not panicked at all. She asked with curiosity on her face, "I've heard that Mr. Qian is a very good exorcist. So this time I'll just watch Mr. Qian's exorcism ceremony from the side. Will it be like in the movies, where he puts a spell on the person's head and then shakes a bell to control the client to jump around?"

It turned out that she treated the client as a zombie. Qian Xiaoyi glanced at her and said, "You will know in a moment."

In the live broadcast room, the audience did not think highly of Qian Xiaoyi, and sarcastic comments kept crossing the screen.

[Who wants to see you? I just want to see Suzuna-chan perform. ]

[Not even wearing Taoist clothes, isn't that too perfunctory? ]

[It’s better to say that the clothes are super funny, just like in a movie, it makes people want to laugh. ]

[This guy is so young, can he be capable? ]

[Are powerful Taoist priests usually middle-aged or elderly? Why did this guy come to Japan? 】

[You foreign idiots, go back to your own country!] Lin Guangyilang asked, "Mr. Qian, should I choose a mask next?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "You don't need to wear the mask anymore. It will consume too much of your energy. Let's use another method."

He took out a few talismans from the bag he brought, and then the incense burner and incense sticks. After placing them in specific positions and lighting them, a wisp of misty smoke filled the room.

"This is..." Suzuna looked curious. Not only him, but Lin Guangichiro was also paying attention to Qian Xiaoyi's every move, wanting to know what he would do.

Gui Teng Longguang stopped chanting. He felt a familiar sense of déjà vu from Qian Xiaoyi's arrangement, so he remembered the scene when they met in the haunted house and murmured, "Feng Shui again..."

He guessed correctly. This was exactly what Qian Xiaoyi was planning. He wanted to create an artificial ghost domain by arranging the venue. The masks in the room were old objects left over from the past and had performed on stage before. Therefore, they all had auras that could be manifested even in the ghost domain. In simple terms, this room was a half-formed ghost domain that could be catalyzed with a little interference.

Qian Xiaoyi discovered that people like Lin Guangyilang actually had great potential to be a "witch". He saw this when he danced "Lanling King's March into the Battle" before. The fact that he lost control when putting on a certain mask also proved that Lin Guangyilang had talent in this area. Therefore, it was easier for him to stimulate the aura of the energy mask and fall into a trance than ordinary people.

Once he is allowed to enter the ghost realm, Lin Guangyilang will be able to face his inner demons in this room even without wearing a mask.

"This is what Mr. Kitano mentioned before." Suzuna said curiously, "Is this the Feng Shui formation that Mr. Qian is good at? This is the first time I've seen it."

[It feels like you are just messing around, right? Is it really useful? ]

[It's quite mysterious. ]

【It's getting interesting, keep watching. 】

After Qian Xiaoyi placed the talismans and charms in different locations in the room, he placed the incense burner in front of Lin Guangyilang and said, "Are you ready, Mr. Client?"

Lin Guangyilang swallowed his saliva. Qian Xiaoyi's arrangement made him a little nervous. After the arrangement was completed, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the room was indeed a little different.

"Please start, I'm ready." After a moment, Lin Guangyilang said.

Qian Xiaoyi nodded, formed a complicated seal with his hands, reached out to pinch the ash on the top of the incense stick, lit the burning ash on his fingertips, and quickly pressed it on the forehead of Lin Guangyilang's white mask, causing Lin Guangyilang's head to tilt back, as if he had lost consciousness, and just froze in place.

[Hey! It seems like he is really good at this. The client actually fainted? ]

[Suzuna-chan put a lot of effort into this script, didn't she? 】

[Damn, I feel nervous.]

After a while, Lin Guangyilang slowly straightened his neck and saw a different world.
