The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 229: TV Station Shock (3)

After the millennium, a new TV station building was built and WTV's headquarters moved here, and for some reason the legend also came here.

WTV's new building has a total of 10 studios, from No. 1 to No. 10, located on different floors. However, strangely, it is said that someone has seen the old No. 0 studio. It is said that the non-existent programs received throughout Japan are broadcast from this non-existent studio...

This is probably what the legend is about. After all, it is just a rumor. The employees who had seen Studio 0 in the story either died of illness or were frightened and resigned at the end of the story. Anyway, there were no eyewitnesses, so they could make up whatever they wanted.

"So there is such a legend inside WTV~" Suzuna covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised and said: "It's really scary."

Konishi Hirobe also said in a relaxed tone, "But Ms. Suzuna wasn't frightened at all."

After all, she is an exorcist, so she would not be scared by such an urban legend without any context.

While others were chatting, Inuyama Heita followed Qian Xiaoyi forward without saying a word. Although Qian Xiaoyi was pretending to be walking around with the compass, he was actually the one searching for the existence of spirits nearby, or rather, it was Ajian hidden in the jade pendant on his body.

Ajian's senses are much more sensitive than any of theirs. With him around, he can immediately sense any supernatural phenomena nearby, no matter how weak.

They were almost done walking around this floor, and when they passed by the restroom, Inuyama Heita suddenly said, "Um...excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom, please wait for me."

"Let's go together. I'll go there too." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Konishi Hirobe and Suzuna stopped and Konishi Hirobe said, "Then we'll wait for you outside."

The two walked into the restroom, followed the restroom etiquette, and began to flush the urinal. Qian Xiaoyi asked in a low voice: "Ajian, did you find anything?"

Because there were outsiders present, especially Suzuna, they couldn't make up lies, so the two of them could only use the excuse of going to the bathroom and exchange information here.

Ah Jian floated out and said, "Well, I felt a strange breath, very vague, I don't know the exact direction, it should be the ghost area."

"A ghost town? In this building?" Qian Xiaoyi thought for a while, then asked, "What does it feel like?"

Ah Jian chose his words carefully and said, "It was blurry, flickering constantly, and had a rustling sound."

"It sounds like it has something to do with TV?" Inuyama Heita said, "It seems to be another ghostland that requires specific conditions to enter."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "This also indirectly confirms that the legendary Studio 0 may exist... If that's the case, I have an idea. Let's go ask first. We only have an excuse to come here once a week, so we must seize the opportunity and explore more."

When they got outside, Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiaoxi, do you have anything like a TV in the prop warehouse?"

Konishi Hirobu was in charge of logistics in the program group, so he knew all these things clearly. He thought for a while and said, "There seems to be a prop TV. It was an old-fashioned TV that Mr. Nojiri used when he dressed up as Sadako at the beginning of the program. Is that okay?" "I'm not sure about that..." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Let's try it first. If the legend is related to TV, maybe we can find something interesting."

They came to the warehouse of the program crew. Xiao Xikuanbu opened the door with a key and pulled out a big-bottom TV covered with a thick layer of dust from the corner. There were even two antennas on the top of the TV. They worked together to carry it to the conference room, plugged in the power supply, and pressed the switch, but the TV did not respond.

"Can't open it?" Inuyama Heita said regretfully.

Konishi Hirobe rolled up his sleeves and said, "Leave it to me. I have experience with this uncle."

He put his five fingers together and slapped the big butt of the TV several times with overwhelming force, making a dull thud.

With a "click" flash of the TV screen, the TV actually lit up, and snow noise filled the entire screen, making an irritating sound.

"Wow~ It still works~" Suzuna said in surprise: "Is Sony's machine so powerful?"

Konishi Hirobu said proudly: "The old machines are much stronger than the new ones now. They can be used for a long time without breaking down, unlike the machines nowadays, which will break down with a slight bump."

"It's good that it still works." Qian Xiaoyi took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, put it in his mouth and lit it, then asked: "Mr. Xiaoxi, some strange things may happen next, do you want to stay here?"

Konishi Hirobu said, "Mr. Qian, don't look at me like this. I am a gold medal investigator of the program team after all. I have encountered real supernatural events several times before, and I am not so easily scared. What's more, I think it is safer to stay here with you guys. Going out alone, there is no good ending in horror movies."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded. Since this guy has stepped into this world more than once, there is no need to worry about polluting his cognition and making him see unclean things, because he has already seen them.

So Qian Xiaoyi closed the doors and windows, turned off the lights in the room, took out some talismans from his bag and pasted them on specific locations around the room, then returned to his seat and said, "Then let's wait quietly for the show to begin."

The four of them sat side by side at the table, looking at the TV on the table, staring at the noisy screen without saying a word. A weird atmosphere began to spread in the room.

After waiting for a while, the TV screen was still like this, flickering with snowflakes, and there was no sign of any program starting. Qian Xiaoyi scratched his head, stood up and walked to the TV, pressed the buttons on it, started changing channels and searching, but after fiddling with it for a while, there was no other movement at all.

"It seems that Brother Yi has never used this type of TV. My family used this type before." Ken whispered in Inuyama Heita's ear: "Inuyama, listen to me and go help me. I know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Inuyama Heita also stood up and walked over. Following Ajian's instructions, he fiddled with the antenna on top of the TV under Qian Xiaoyi's curious gaze.

Ah Jian directed: "Yes, I can feel it, it's in this direction, then slowly move a little to the left... after passing it, come back a little bit, then there is another one..."

As the antenna moved, other sounds gradually began to emerge from the noise emitted by the TV, and then the sound became clearer and clearer. The noise points also slowly distorted and turned into a blurry picture that kept moving up and down. After the signal reached the perfect angle, the TV screen finally froze on a stable picture.
