The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 216 Horror Night GO (5)

The faces looked like ghosts under the flickering lights, which made people feel chilled. However, as the lights flickered more and more rapidly, the entire studio finally lit up, revealing the true faces of the guests.

"It's Teacher Qian!" Kawasaki said excitedly, pointing at Qian Xiaoyi sitting in the special guest seat.

Sato said, "Of course, everyone knows that Teacher Qian is on the show. Don't make such a fuss, Minister."

Ono Haruna's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Why do you look much more handsome on TV than usual?"

Komaeda Yui agreed, "Really? Teacher Qian looks just like an artist. He's not a real person at all."

Qian Xiaoyi curled her lips and said, "Because I got my hair done and put on makeup. So...what do you mean by much more handsome than usual? Am I usually ugly?"

On TV, after the two hosts finished their opening remarks, they made a few jokes and teased Nojiri's kappa look before gradually getting to the point.

Mutsu (another host): "Nojiri, there are suddenly a lot of new faces on our show. Who is that beautiful lady who looks familiar? Have I seen her somewhere before?"

Nojiri: "Where have you seen me before? Isn't this pick-up line too old-fashioned?"

Mutsu: "No, no, no, I'm not trying to flirt with you. Don't say that. It will be terrible if my wife sees it! I'm telling the truth. You look really familiar."

Nojiri: "As a host of a supernatural show, you don't even know her?"

Mutsu: "She is?"

Nojiri: "The famous beautiful girl exorcist who is very popular on the Internet right now - Suzuna-chan!"

Narrator: [That’s right! She is the very popular beautiful girl exorcist on the Internet - Suzuna-chan. Her sweet looks and her origin from an orthodox shrine add a layer of mystery to her! This time the director specially invited Suzuna-chan to be the resident consultant of the show! This directly raised the appearance of the entire show (laughs).]

The narration, accompanied by a quickly edited video, begins to introduce Suzuna's identity in an exaggerated tone. Suzuna also starts to act cute and greets the audience.

Kawasaki sighed: "Suzuna-chan is so cute, has a great figure, and is an exorcist. She is simply my dream lover~"

Komaeda Yui looked at Suzuna on TV with hostility and muttered, "She's so pretty, it's obvious she's just pretending to be an exorcist to make money on the live broadcast, right?"

Miyamoto Yuzhi stroked his chin and said, "It's very possible. I can't imagine that someone like her who looks like a celebrity idol would be an exorcist."

Sato said, "Wouldn't it be better to just ask Mr. Qian about this? Mr. Qian, is Suzuna-chan a real exorcist or a liar?"

"She's quite capable..." Qian Xiaoyi commented, "She's different from me. She's a more specialized exorcist. She's better at taking on certain types of commissions, but not suitable for exorcising evil spirits."

Ono Haruna said in surprise: "Eh~~ She is actually an exorcist. When I first saw her, I thought she was a model or something."

Suzuki was more concerned about other things: "Except for the beginning, this show doesn't feel that scary. Is it really a horror show?"

Kawasaki explained in detail, "Rather than calling it a horror show, it's more about curiosity. Horror Night GO has never been a show that focuses on scaring people. It's more about introducing cultural legends from various places, as well as knowledge from traditional supernatural stories. The two hosts' humorous styles are very popular, and even the timid can watch it." Sato said, "I'm going to introduce Teacher Qian soon!"

In the picture, Mutsu, who was wearing a suit and a bow tie, started to play dumb again and said, "Okay, okay, enough about Suzuna-chan. Who is that handsome guy sitting in the special guest seat? Is he a new artist at the TV station? Hey, director, let me tell you, there can only be one handsome guy on this show, and that's me. Do you understand, you baldy..."

"Mr. Mutsu, your true nature is revealed." Nojiri dragged the increasingly wild Mutsu back and said, "What are you thinking about! He is the exorcist specially invited for this episode! Be careful of being cursed! Little ００ will rot!"

Mutsu was extremely surprised and asked, "What did you say? He is also an exorcist?! Why are all the exorcists so young nowadays? Wait...what can rot?"

Narrator: [That's right! The special guest we invited to our show this time is the exorcist from China - Mr. Qian Xiaoyi! Although he is young, he opened a ghost exorcist office in Tokyo by himself. With his strong strength, his business is booming! In order to invite Mr. Qian Xiaoyi to come, Mr. Xiaoxi probably lost a lot of hair (close-up of Xiaoxi's head). ]

The noisy "Chinese style" music with the sound of gongs and drums sounded, accompanied by the narration introducing Qian Xiaoyi's identity.

Qian Xiaoyi rubbed his face. Although he had expected that once it came to things from China, these variety shows would definitely use some stereotypical Chinese music, but...

Why is it "Dance of the Golden Snake"!

Mutsu: "By the way, are all the exorcists so young nowadays? Suzuna-chan is too, and Mr. Qian is too."

Nojiri: "As long as you have the ability to exorcise ghosts, that's fine. The video that Suzuna-chan and Mr. Qian worked together on was really scary. Based on my many years of experience, that client was really possessed by a ghost. Fortunately, Mr. Qian and Suzuna-chan are here."

Mutsu: "But speaking of Chinese exorcists, they should be Taoist priests, right? I thought Mr. Qian would be a serious Taoist priest, but he looks like a young man on the street."

On TV, Qian Xiaoyi finally spoke up: "People often say this. Every time we go to the office, we hear similar exclamations. It bothers me."

Nojiri: "Haha, I can imagine that. By the way, why did Mr. Qian come to Japan to open a spirit-exorcism agency? Is there any special reason?"

When the host mentioned this question, everyone perked up. They were also very curious about Qian Xiaoyi's reason, including Inuyama Heita. After all, it was impossible for Brother Yi to say something like "Because it's depressing here and there are a lot of ghosts" in public, right?

Then they heard Qian Xiaoyi on TV say, "There's more money."

"Eh?" Mutsu was stunned and asked, "Is that all?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's all."

Narrator: [Surprisingly, he said it directly! ]

Everyone was stunned. Miyamoto Yuzhi laughed and said, "I thought Mr. Qian would say something polite like 'I like Japanese culture'. This is too direct."

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said nothing. That question was actually a bit dangerous. If he didn't answer it well, it might lead to something strange and cause controversy. So it would be better to say it was for money. In this way, the audience would not say anything other than that he was straightforward. After all, everyone thought that this reason was normal.
