The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 212 Horror Night GO
"Brother Yi~ You and Hepingtai haven't come to the gym recently. I feel a little lonely~"

[Wild Jungle] In the gym, Qian Xiaoyi was sitting on a stool lifting weights. If a slim beauty had said this, Qian Xiaoyi would have definitely said something playful, but the person who said this would be the kind of tough guy who could stop a child from crying at night, whether in ancient times or modern times, so Qian Xiaoyi could only laugh dryly and reply:
"I'm sorry, Maria. The firm has been busy with commissions lately. You know what work is."

Maria came up to Qian Xiaoyi, stared at his arm and sighed, "Brother Yi, the most taboo in fitness is to be too enthusiastic for three minutes. If you do this, the muscles you have worked so hard to train will cry~"

"I'm telling the truth! I'm not saying this because I don't want to work out." Qian Xiaoyi lifted the dumbbells back and forth, sweating profusely as he said, "Does my office seem so idle in your eyes?"

Maria thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

"That was in the past!" Qian Xiaoyi was choked by Maria's decisive answer, and then said proudly: "Now my firm's business is booming~"

This is not him bragging. Ever since the battle with Hiruda, Qian Xiaoyi closed the office and rested for a few days. After reopening, the office's phone was bombarded with calls and commissions came in one after another.

Among these clients, many were victims of curses and blackmail by Hiruda.

Originally, they had to pay a protection fee to Hiruda every once in a while, but this time the deadline had clearly come, but Hiruda did not call to urge the debt, which made them a little strange, because the guy was quite punctual in this regard.

Later on, we found out that Hiruda had been admitted to a mental hospital, along with some of his followers. Everyone then realized that Hiruda had finally fallen, and at the hands of a newcomer.

Hiruda is gone, but the curse on some of them is still there. And although this guy is in a mental hospital, it is unknown when he will come out? Therefore, some exorcists dare not accept the commissions of these victims, fearing to offend people, and they plan to wait and see.

In this situation, Qian Xiaoyi became a hot commodity in the eyes of these victims. Others did not dare to mess with Zhitian, but this new tough guy certainly would not be afraid.

So these days he and Inuyama Heita basically ran around, helping the victims to lift the curse, and when they were out on business, the office was not closed, and Suzuki was responsible for receiving customers and recording their information.

Of course, although Suzuki did not participate in the commission, she still received a basic salary of more than 1,000 yen per hour, which was considered normal employment. Now Qian Xiaoyi is no longer as embarrassed as when she first arrived, so she can naturally afford this amount of money.

Because they were very busy during this period, Inuyama Heita rushed to the office as soon as school was over, so neither of them had time to work out. It was not until they spent more than half a month to handle most of the commissions to lift the curse and planned to take a day off that Qian Xiaoyi freed up some time and returned to the gym.

Qian Xiaoyi finished his workout today under the supervision of his fitness coach Mike, and went to the shower room to take a shower. Just as he was about to go home, he was stopped by Maria, who winked at him and asked, "Would you like to come to the bar for a drink tonight? There's someone who wants to see you~"

"Who? Is it a customer?" Qian Xiaoyi was a little curious.

Maria had introduced a lot of clients to him in the bar some time ago. She was very experienced in identifying whether the drinkers really needed help. When the other party did encounter relevant problems, Maria would recommend Qian Xiaoyi's firm to them, so sometimes she could find a few business deals for Qian Xiaoyi.

Maria covered her mouth and smiled. "It's not really a client, but he does want your help. However, the specific content of the commission may be a little different from what you usually do. Well, in order not to ruin the surprise, let's talk about the details after we meet."

"Why are you making it so mysterious?" Qian Xiaoyi agreed, "Then let's have a drink after such a long time."

Maria opened the door and prepared to open the shop. Mike also changed into a bartender's uniform and put on sunglasses. He pretended to be an American bartender behind the bar, wiping the glass with a serious face. Relaxed jazz music was playing in the bar. Although it was somewhat inconsistent with the name of the shop [Blues], no one cared. Anyway, they just wanted the atmosphere, just like the bartender Mike was not an American black man but an African black man. The meaning was enough.

Since the store had just opened, it was still quite quiet. After Qian Xiaoyi sat at the bar and finished eating the Japanese curry rice made by Maria, a few customers came in one after another.

After waiting for a while, the sound of wind chimes rang out from behind the door. Maria turned around and said, "Ah, the person I've been waiting for is finally here."

He was a middle-aged office worker with sparse hair on his head. He was carrying a briefcase. When he saw Qian Xiaoyi, his eyes lit up. He trotted over, nodded and bowed, handing over his business card.

"Mr. Qian, I've heard a lot about you! I'm Konishi Hirobu from the WTV TV station's [Horror Night GO] program team. It's our first meeting, please take care of me."

The middle-aged office worker bowed 45 degrees to Qian Xiaoyi. The sparse hair on the top of his head spread out under the influence of gravity, revealing the smooth scalp underneath, which sparkled brightly under the lights of the bar. The strong hairstyle and the flawless bow made it clear at a glance that he was a veteran office worker who had worked in the workplace for many years.

"WTV..." Qian Xiaoyi took the business card without knowing why. Although there was no TV in the office, he knew that WTV was an old TV station and one of the best private TV stations in Japan. However, that was all he knew about the TV station.

"Hello, hello, my name is Qian Xiaoyi, an exorcist. I currently run an exorcism agency." Qian Xiaoyi quickly took out his business card and exchanged it with the other party.

After exchanging business cards, Xiao Xikuanbu sat next to Qian Xiaoyi. Qian Xiaoyi gave Maria a puzzled look. Maria understood and immediately introduced: "Brother Yi, you know WTV, right? It's a very famous TV station. "Horror Night GO" is a late-night variety show on this TV station with the theme of supernatural phenomena.

Mr. Xiaoxi is a regular guest on the show. He has been there since the show started a few years ago. I have watched a few episodes of the show. It is really scary~"

Maria slapped her pectorals coyly, making a thumping sound.

Konishi Hirobe asked attentively, "That's right, I wonder if Mr. Qian has heard of our program?"

Qian Xiaoyi hesitated and said, "Ah, I seldom watch TV..."

——There’s not even a TV.

He continued, "Mr. Xiaoxi, you came to me this time because the program team encountered some supernatural phenomena? Then you have found the right person. No matter what kind of evil spirit or curse it is, I can help you solve it."

In his opinion, these supernatural shows that are trying to make people die might occasionally encounter some real people, so it is normal for them to find him. But he doesn't know why Maria's expression is so sly at the moment, as if she is watching a show. She was not like this when she introduced business to him before.

"No, that's not the case." Konishi Hirobu said seriously, "This time we found Mr. Qian because we want to invite you to our show."
