The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 231 Death Game
After arriving outside the building, Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita put on their helmets, rode on Nuhuomaru, and started their journey back.

"Brother Yi, that 'Kaidan Prediction' program!" As soon as it came out, Inuyama Heita couldn't wait to ask: "The photo posted on the missing person notice seems to be..."

"Yes, it's the Slit-Mouthed Woman." Qian Xiaoyi said solemnly while riding his motorcycle on the road, "Except for us, no one knows that the Slit-Mouthed Woman's cognitive aggregate has been sealed, but that program was able to detect her disappearance... This means that the news of ghost stories reported by that program before was not just nonsense in the ghost domain, but may be real information."

"We have only seen the program now, but we have not found Studio 0." Inuyama Heita said: "At present, Ken can only confirm that the ghost area is indeed in that building, but its exact location and the conditions for opening the ghost area are still unclear."

"Ajian, you can come out now." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I have something to ask you."

Ah Jian floated out from the jade pendant and shouted, "Here I come."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "In the program after the end of "Ghost Talk Forecast", can you understand what the host said?"

Ah Jian asked curiously, "Ah? Can't you hear it? It's just normal complaints about the people around him, like he wants to kill his boss, wants to put him in a meat grinder, etc."

"How can this be ordinary!" said Inuyama Heita.

Qian Xiaoyi said: "From the perspective of the vengeful spirits, it is indeed very ordinary, even a little sparse and common... That is to say, "Weird Talk Forecast" is different from the subsequent programs. The subsequent programs are normal urban ghost talk programs. The scenes are similar to those in the rumors. There is no logic. It is not for the living to watch. Only the dead can understand it. It perfectly conforms to the public's cognition. So from this point of view, the program "Weird Talk Forecast" seems too strange..."

"So what should we do now?" asked Inuyama Heita.

"There are three points." Qian Xiaoyi said: "First, investigate the building step by step to complete Miss Tachibana Mio's commission. This matter cannot be rushed.

Second, investigate the mysterious Studio 0. If the entire building is as clean as we see, that TV show should not exist. There must be some secret in it. Maybe the remaining soul of Usa Miura is also in it.

As for the third one... we need to confirm the information given in the "Kaidan Forecast" to confirm whether it really has the ability to predict urban legends throughout Tokyo. If it is true, it will be very interesting. "

"That means..." Inuyama Heita felt a little excited.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Let's go to Shibuya tomorrow and get some information."

"Great!" Ajian cheered. Recently, due to the commission, they haven't been out on the street to play much. If they go to Shibuya to inquire about the urban legend this time, they will definitely go to various game halls. They can also have a meal at noon and in the evening. In a nutshell, it is equivalent to going out to play.

The next day, Qian Xiaoyi took Inuyama Heita and Suzuki to meet in Shibuya. Because it was the weekend, neither of them wore school uniforms.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Inuyama Heita said with emotion: "There are still as many people as before. It's hard to imagine that there is a ghost area here."

Although when he first joined the agency, Inuyama Heita had the "fortune" of being dragged here by Qian Xiaoyi to experience the feeling of entering the ghost realm, there are differences between ghost realms. The last time he entered a ghost realm with a very loose structure and no core. It simply made people lost and walked into a strange place. It was not harmful or purposeful.

Urban legends are different. Their appearance also indicates the appearance of ghost realms. These ghost realms usually have a core, and their action logic has a certain purpose. They can only be encountered when special conditions are met, and they are much more harmful.

In a busy area like Shibuya, the group cognition is quite complex, so it is difficult to form a stable ghost area, which is why Inuyama Heita sighed like this.

Suzuki asked, "But according to what you said, the preview time should be in the evening, right? Why do we have to come at this time?"

It was only morning, and it was still early for the time in the preview. Qian Xiaoyi explained, "Because we need to investigate the intelligence in advance and find the conditions to enter the urban legend ghost area. If we don't do this, we may not be able to find anything when we come back at night."

"I understand." Suzuki nodded. She had just joined the firm not long ago and was not clear about many supernatural things.

Because of the influence of "Horror Night GO" a few days ago, Lingkong Agency has been closed these days, so she came here today just to observe because she had nothing to do.

"So, where should we go next?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Do I even need to ask this? Since there may be a ghost domain, there must be corresponding rumors. So of course I should investigate those game halls first. By the way, do you play games?"

Suzuki thought for a moment and said, "Does it count if I played a claw machine a long time ago?"

"Is that so~" Qian Xiaoyi pondered, "Heitaro definitely doesn't know how to play games, after all, he used to work part-time in his spare time... In other words, I'm the only one who can play games?"

Looking back on the days when he was in school, Qian Xiaoyi often went to arcades with his classmates to play games, but they were all old machines from around the millennium.

"This is troublesome. I wonder if young people in Japan still play 97." Qian Xiaoyi muttered.

Suzuki was a little confused: "What does investigating intelligence have to do with whether or not you can play games?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "You don't understand. Since it's an urban legend related to the arcade, it must have spread among the players. If you don't belong to their group, it's hard to get close to them and get useful information. For example, you're playing a game alone and suddenly a stranger comes to ask you some strange questions. It's inevitable that you'll be wary."

"If it's about playing games... I know someone who's very good at it." Inuyama Heita sighed, and then suddenly said.

Qian Xiaoyi was stunned and asked, "Who?"

Under the curious gazes of the two men, Inuyama Heita's body first became stiff, then slowly relaxed, his temperament began to change, and then a lewd and confident smile appeared on his face.

"Who else could it be?" Inuyama Heita chuckled, "Of course it's him~"

Suzuki felt that Inuyama Heita suddenly became greasy, and subconsciously took two steps back, staring at him vigilantly.

"Hey! What's that reaction, chan?!"

"Inuyama Heita" yelled, "It's really hurtful! This is obviously our first meeting."

Suzuki frowned: "First meeting?! Are you the one you often mention..."

"Inuyama Heita" smiled evilly and said, "That's right! I'm Ken, please give me your guidance."
