The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 250 New Plan (7)

In the new week, Inuyama Heita came to school as usual. For some reason, during the first class, he always felt that someone was staring at him from behind, making him feel uneasy. It was not until the class was over that he knew where the feeling came from.

Suzuki came over, put his hands on Inuyama Heita's desk, and asked angrily: "What was the ending of the haunted house incident in "Horror Night GO" yesterday? If it was really an evil spirit, it would definitely not leave so many traces of reality, right? But this may also be a smokescreen. After all, the scene reconstruction cannot be completely restored. The director may do some secondary processing. Or, is it that someone accidentally entered the ghost domain and was affected? Is there really a ghost in the house?"

Facing Suzuki's rapid-fire questions, Inuyama Heita sighed and said, "Sorry, even I don't know. You should ask Brother Otoko."

He noticed that Suzuki's eyes were slightly dark, and it looked like he didn't sleep well last night. He didn't expect that this guy was the most interested in the new project of the program. It was really unexpected.

"I asked, but he didn't answer." Suzuki asked, "Brother O watched the show with you at your apartment last night, right? After all, there's no TV in the office, so he didn't reveal anything?"

Inuyama Heita said: "We did watch the show together, but he didn't even tell me about the follow-up developments. He acted very mysterious. But if you want to know, can't you just wait until the weekend?"

Suzuki stared at Inuyama Heita without saying a word.

"I didn't lie to you!" Inuyama Heita said hurriedly, "He really didn't reveal anything at all."

"Tsk~" Suzuki returned to his seat unhappily.

Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a little surprised by Suzuki's attention to the new issue of "Horror Night GO", it was normal when he thought about it carefully. She was a person who liked to get to the bottom of things and had a strong curiosity about the things she cared about, but it was not visible on the surface.

Inuyama Heita thought that since there was no way to know what would happen next, it would be better to forget about it for the time being and wait until the next episode was broadcast.

However, just after he forgot a few classes and went to the canteen to buy lunch at noon, the topic of "Horror Night GO" came to his ears again. This time it was not someone he knew, but two classmates who passed by.

"Did you see the movie "Horror Night" yesterday?"

"Is it 'Horror Night GO'? I watched it, and I didn't expect that they really invited that Chinese exorcist back, and they even created a new project with him."

"Since it's that guy, what he said should be true, right? This is my first time watching this show, and I didn't expect it to be so interesting."

"It wasn't like this before. It was only after Qian Xiaoyi joined that the show became popular."

"Eh~~~Is that so? I was thinking of looking for the old content and starting over. Forget it then."

"Ahh~ I'm really concerned about what happened in that haunted house."

Because it was on the way, these words reached Inuyama Heita's ears word for word, which surprised him a little. He didn't expect that this program would ferment so quickly and spread among ordinary high school students.

"By the way, hasn't Senior Kawasaki from the Psychic Department been claiming that he knows the psychic detective?"

"Yeah, he shows the photo of himself and the exorcist to everyone he meets." "Huh? He actually knows a celebrity? I thought he was just bragging."

Inuyama Heita didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that it was Kawasaki, the big mouth who wanted to cause chaos in the world, who promoted it. No wonder people in the school were discussing that program.
He shook his head and walked quickly towards the store.

In fact, Inuyama Heita still underestimated the influence of the Internet. Even if Kawasaki did not promote it in school, the trend of this program still spread among young people.

Adolescents are the audience for all kinds of new and exciting culture. Qian Xiaoyi's previous discovery of a body that had been missing for several years in a supernatural program, combined with his identity as an exorcist, produced an effect of one plus one being greater than two, which greatly increased his popularity among young people.

A few days later, when Inuyama Heita realized what was happening, he found that even his classmates had already started discussing this topic. Inuyama Heita was particularly glad that he did not agree to let Qian Xiaoyi appear on TV with him, otherwise his part-time job at the exorcism agency would have been exposed, which would have definitely brought him a lot of trouble in his life.

By the weekend of this week, WTV's ratings had risen again. Even late at night, many people were still waiting in front of their TVs, waiting for the broadcast of "Horror Night GO".

This time Qian Xiaoyi did not watch the show with Inuyama Heita. Only Inuyama Heita was at home alone. According to Qian Xiaoyi, he knew all the specific content of the show. Last time he just watched the broadcast effect with his own eyes. After confirming that it was okay, he didn't have to stay up late to watch the show anymore.

Inuyama Heita sat on the sofa, prepared snacks, and "Horror Night GO" began.

After the ancestral opening, the narrator first read out a brief synopsis of the previous story, and then went straight into the main topic without any drag, and seamlessly connected with the plot of the previous episode.

The plot develops to the point where the exorcist played by Konishi Hirobe and his assistant played by the host Mutsu enter the haunted house, and then they hear a shrill scream.

They hurried over and found that the scream was actually made by a young man who lived nearby. He was pale and sweating, and was howling as if he had seen something very terrifying. This made the exorcist very curious.

They hurried to calm the young man down, and it took a while to calm him down.

After some questioning, the young man told them that there were no ghosts in the house at all, and that the noises at night were all made by him because he had a mental illness and would occasionally scream uncontrollably. After discovering that he was showing signs of being out of control, in order to prevent others from knowing, he would come to this uninhabited house to vent, and would not leave until his condition improved.

So the marks in the room were caused by his illness.

As a result, after a period of time, rumors of haunting the house gradually spread, and most people were afraid to approach it. But he did not expect that the surrounding neighborhood associations would raise money to hire an exorcist.

The truth came out. The exorcist and his assistant did not expect that the real situation was that a mentally ill person was going crazy, but it sounded quite reasonable.

Just when the audience was wondering if the result was a little too simple, Inuyama Heita looked at his watch and found something interesting.

——The show is not even halfway through yet.
