The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 248 New Plan (5)

Suzuna introduced the new segment of "Horror Night GO".

"I'm sure everyone must be very curious about Mr. Qian Xiaoyi, who is known as the 'psychic detective'?" Ling Na said to the camera: "In fact, as a professional, the accident that happened in the haunted hotel last time was just one of the bizarre incidents that Mr. Qian encountered. There are many more bizarre incidents in his career.

Therefore, the "Horror Night GO" program team continued to invite Mr. Qian as a special consultant to present a bizarre world known only to exorcists through the way of scene reconstruction..."

"A real incident?" Inuyama Heita turned to look at Qian Xiaoyi and asked, "Really? Will the things we encountered in the ghost realm reappear? Can such things really reappear?"

Qian Xiaoyi curled his lips and said, "How is that possible? Even if those things were made into a movie, everyone would think they were too exaggerated and no one would believe them. So I picked out some interesting stories and strange commissions that I heard from my peers and my master in China before."

After Lingnai finished her introduction, the TV screen changed to show Qian Xiaoyi, who was wearing a detective uniform and sitting on a chair in a dim room. The light was from top to bottom, casting his face into shadow. He crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and spoke slowly in a mysterious atmosphere:
"The story I'm going to tell you next is called 'Strange Noises in a Haunted House'. It happened several years ago. One of my colleagues was commissioned to investigate a haunted abandoned house because there were always strange noises coming from it at night, which frightened and terrified the residents around it..."

The scene changed again. In Qian Xiaoyi's description, an exorcist and his assistant came to a remote residential area. There was a house that seemed out of place with the other houses. The yard was overgrown with weeds and was dilapidated.

"Is this the place?" The exorcist stroked his chin and said, "I do feel a strange aura... Anyway, let's go to the surrounding neighbors to collect some information."

Inuyama Heita saw the exorcist on TV and found that he knew him. He was surprised and said, "That person is... Mr. Konishi? And why is his assistant the host Mr. Mutsu?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "After all, it is a reenactment of a situation, so we will select suitable actors from the guests and staff of the program to play the roles in the story. This way, the old audience will feel familiar and have some expectations. Plus, the title of 'real event' should be attractive."

Inuyama Heita nodded: "Indeed, just seeing this kind of opening gives people a strong sense of suspense, making people want to continue reading and understand the process of handling the commission."

On TV, the exorcist and his assistant began to question the neighbors around the house, trying to find out the rumors about the house.

So the guests of the show came on stage one after another to play the roles of neighbors. Inuyama Heita even saw director Tamura playing the role of a convenience store manager. His bald head was very conspicuous in the camera.

It has to be said that as a veteran director who has been working on supernatural programs for ten years, Director Tamura's control over shots and atmosphere is no less than those of horror film directors. Both the suspense and the horror atmosphere are grasped just right, ensuring that the program does not scare people away, nor is it boring, and the show is always in suspense.

When Inuyama Heita saw that the exorcist played by Konishi Hirobe had finished questioning the surrounding residents and was about to enter the haunted house to explore, the camera suddenly stopped and went directly back to the studio.

Nojiri: "Mr. Konishi! Did I see that correctly? That was you, right? And Mr. Mutsu, when did you and Mr. Konishi become exorcists?"

Mutsu: "Are you an idiot? That's a scene recreated based on the real events narrated by Mr. Qian. Didn't you listen to what Suzuna-chan said just now?"

Nojiri: "Huh? Why didn't I know about this? You all participated, right?"

Mutsu: "Hehe, maybe it's because you were still tearing toilet paper in the toilet at that time." Nojiri: "Don't mention that! But I really care about it... In this incident, the information given by those residents is messy, which makes people more and more curious about what happened in that house."

Mutsu: "Hehehe~ You're curious, right? Actually, it's not just you, everyone is curious."

Nojiri: "All of them? Hey, haven't you all participated in the reenactment? You should have known the answer a long time ago, right? What are you curious about?"

Mutsu: "No, except for Mr. Qian, the narrator, and the leading actor and director, the other guests were not informed of the specific script, and they only received the script for their own lines."

Nojiri: "It's really mysterious~ But what's the point? Even if we knew the plot, we wouldn't spread it around."

Mutsu: "The reason for this arrangement is, of course..."

Nojiri: “Of course?”

The camera switches to Suzuna, who proudly picks up her pipe and says, "Of course it's for the next part! The Horror Night Detective Team, here we go!"

Narration: "Finally it's my turn. The so-called 'Horror Night Detective Team' is the guest group headed by Suzuna! As a detective, even with limited information, I can find clues that ordinary people can't find!

The detectives in the detective team will start to infer what will happen next based on the information they have so far. If they guess the ending of the incident correctly, they will be rewarded with the opportunity to play the leading role in the next incident!"

Nojiri: "Eh~~~ Playing the protagonist? That sounds good. I want to be one for once, too. An exorcist or something... But forget it. It's a bit embarrassing~"

Mutsu: "A guy who wraps himself in toilet paper to dress up as a mummy has no right to say that. Besides...if you play the leading role, you can get performance fees. You didn't expect that!"

Nojiri: "Performance fee?! There's such a good thing! Then I'll be the one! I started to deduce! Ahem, there is only one truth, that is, the evil spirit is at work!"

Mutsu: "Hey, hey, hey~ What is this? The term evil spirit is too general, isn't it? Isn't it normal for an exorcist to encounter an evil spirit? I need more specific information~ Even if it is an exorcist, you should understand the evil spirit's life before considering how to deal with it, right?"

Nojiri: "You're so annoying~ Really, how can you come to a conclusion with just such a small amount of footage?"

Mutsu: "You are such an unreliable guy. Let's see what the detective team says."

For a moment, the guests had different opinions. They spoke in order, constantly summarizing the information in the video and then giving inferences, which was quite professional.
