The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 251 New Plan (8)

The program continued after the commercial, continuing the previous plot. After returning, the exorcist began to recall what had happened before, and gradually found many things that were wrong, so he found an assistant to review them one by one. As a result, he came to an incredible conclusion, that is, the young man was lying.

Next came the detective team segment, where the guests began to discuss why the exorcist said that and what was wrong with the young man.

Not to mention, this also led them to discuss a lot of doubts. The young man's behavior was too weird, and there happened to be a psychologist among the guests. He was sure that if the scene was restored as much as possible, the young man's mental condition was not as serious as he said, or even that he was not sick at all, but was just pretending.

So everyone agreed that there was another hidden story behind this matter.

This conclusion undoubtedly reignited the interest of those disappointed viewers, and their appetite was whetted once again.

In the subsequent scene re-enactment, the exorcist finally took action again. This time, he no longer observed the haunted house, but turned his attention to the young man who claimed to be mentally ill. After two days of observation, he found that the guy's movement pattern was quite strange, and he would go to the haunted house late at night, but did not scream.

In addition to this guy, the exorcist also discovered another thing, that is, he was not the only frequent visitor to the haunted house, so there were those dirty and messy traces in the house.

So a few days later, late at night, when the young man went out again to meet other people in the haunted house, a team of police suddenly broke in, controlled all the "monsters", and seized them red-handed at the scene, and found a number of "anesthetics" and a pile of smoking utensils.

The police were naturally notified by the exorcist. They had been keeping an eye on this guy for several days, and this time they finally caught all of them.

It turns out that the so-called "haunted house" is actually a place where drug addicts gather. The rumors of being haunted are just the ghost howlings of the drug addicts after taking narcotics. Unexpectedly, the neighbors around spread rumors and thought it was haunted, and they dared not approach it. This inspired these guys to cover up their illegal behavior through this rumor.

Now the truth was out, and the guests and the audience all looked enlightened.

However, there are still some viewers who feel dissatisfied, thinking that the program is continuing the explosive point of the previous episode where the body was found, and that they want to get something for nothing by making up a similar story to fool the audience.

Then at the end of the program, a news video was inserted into the program. Through translation, everyone knew that this incident was true, but it did not happen in Japan, but in Qian Xiaoyi's home country. A group of drug addicts pretended to be ghosts and were finally caught.

After the guests discussed this true event for a while, the show ended.

The scene changed, Qian Xiaoyi was still sitting in the dim room, with his legs crossed, a shadow covering his face, and he could only be heard saying faintly:
"I'm Qian Xiaoyi, an exorcist. This is the story of one of my colleagues. The bizarre things we encountered are beyond your imagination. Some have absurd endings like the one just now, while others are even more terrifying and thrilling. This is the world of exorcists. You can't predict what the next commission will be like. Will it be an evil spirit or a sinister human heart? Things are unpredictable.

In the next issue, I will bring you a completely different, but more bizarre story - "Cursed Doll".

See you next time on Horror Night GO. "

……"cheers!"

The next night, in a noisy izakaya, the core members of "Horror Night GO" gathered together, clinked their glasses together, and drank happily.

"Wow~ A glass of draft beer after work is really great." Director Tamura's face was flushed with excitement. He put the empty cup heavily on the table and said happily: "This time our program team finally got some success. The ratings have been steadily increasing. Although I don't know what the ratings are like on the other side, it is certain that some viewers are attracted to our program."

The host Mutsu poured beer for Director Tamura and said with a smile, "They must be furious over there. It makes me happy just thinking about it. This time it's all thanks to Mr. Qian."

Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, this is all the result of the joint efforts of the program team. Director Tamura's efforts are obvious to all. He has hardly had a good night's sleep these days. All I did was to be a mascot and provide some suggestions and scripts."

Director Tamura laughed out loud: "Mr. Qian, please don't be so modest. Without you, our program group might have been withdrawn in a while. This time it really came back to life. Mr. Qian is a great contributor to our "Horror Night GO". In addition to Mr. Qian, I also want to thank everyone. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future to make our program even better. Cheers!"

"Oh oh oh~"

The celebration party is still going on. For a program like theirs that is only broadcast on weekend nights, the planning of the series is quite bold, because everyone has to go to work or school the next day, so if it is not particularly attractive, it is unrealistic to let the audience follow the show.

But they did it, and even the program director Masato Shichijo was impressed by them, so this feat is certainly worth celebrating.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. While Director Tamura and other members of the production crew were enjoying delicious food and wine, the "other party" they were talking about was feeling uneasy.

That’s right, the “opponent” is the “Supernatural Night” program team of Shenshan TV. As a competitor of “Horror Night GO”, they suffered a great blow this time and felt a strong sense of crisis.

When the show "Horror Night GO" was first launched, it was well received by young people and had many fans of the supernatural. It also had a good status in WTV. Although it was not as popular as the popular variety shows, it was acceptable and could be considered a mainstay.

Then, in order to compete, Kinabalu TV spent a lot of money to launch a lot of similar competing products. "Supernatural Night" is one of them. The program has a higher budget, more luxurious guests, and star fortune teller Anna Nakamori. The format is more novel and fashionable, so it is more popular with young people.

However, due to repetitive content, supernatural legends, limited locations and other reasons, the quality of "Horror Night GO" has been declining, and it has been completely defeated by its rival in terms of ratings. The TV station even moved the show back by more than half an hour, causing many new viewers to only know "Horror Night GO" but not the original version.

This time they staged a great comeback, and finally, it was the turn of the people from "Night of the Supernatural" to get restless.
