The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 253 New Plan (10)

As soon as I opened the sliding door of Huangquan Izakaya, a voice of "Welcome" in authentic old Tokyo accent came over.

Ashiya Yoshisuke had a white towel tied on his head, and was flipping skewers behind the bar like a master. When he saw Qian Xiaoyi coming, he said, "Hey, Mr. Qian, it's been a long time. Why don't you come and take care of my business?"

Qian Xiaoyi walked over and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I've been busy lately. Mr. Ashiya, don't you watch TV? Recently, I've been active on TV as a psychic detective~"

Ashiya Yoshisuke laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I have never missed a show that Qian Jun has appeared on. So to celebrate Qian Jun becoming a TV celebrity, I will waive the cost of today's drinks."

"Grandpa is so generous?" Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile. Apart from anything else, the wine in Huangquan House is indeed a good thing. It contains strong emotions and perceptions. For ordinary people, it is a strong poison, but for psychics, if they can digest it, it can exercise their own cognitive level.

In classical terms, these wines can enhance one's spiritual power.

Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "Although I really want to buy you a drink, it's not me who's buying you a drink today, but someone else who's waiting for you over there."

"So someone wants to see me?" Qian Xiaoyi nodded, then walked towards a booth in the pub. The other party did not hide his presence at all, so Qian Xiaoyi could clearly feel the other party's presence.

That kind of feminine and lazy feeling seems to be that of a woman.

He came to the empty booth, reached out and pulled open the invisible curtain, revealing the person inside.

Anna seemed to appear out of nowhere, sitting in a booth and drinking by herself. When she saw Qian Xiaoyi, she said, "Please take a seat, Mr. Qian. I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"

Qian Xiaoyi did not show any surprise. He sat opposite Anna and asked, "Isn't this Miss Anna, the celebrity fortune teller? I've heard of you for a long time. If a celebrity like you wants to contact me, can't you just give me a phone call? Why do you have to go through Mr. Ashiya?"

"It would be too unceremonious if we just called." Anna poured wine for Qian Xiaoyi and said, "For a top exorcist like Mr. Qian, we should still be polite. Please enjoy. The wine in Huangquan House is very expensive. This bottle of wine cost me a lot of money."

"If you have something to say, please speak directly." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You are here for the show, right?"

Anna smiled and said, "Mr. Qian is really straightforward, completely different from the locals. In that case, I won't beat around the bush... 1000 million yen, this is the greatest sincerity we can get. I hope Mr. Qian can give up "Horror Night GO" and come to our side."

The moment Qian Xiaoyi saw the other party, he knew that the other party might use threats and bribes on him, but he was still shocked by the amount of money. It was not because the money was too much, but because the number was too accurate.

If Tachibana Mio's commission is successfully completed, the commission fee is this amount of money. And that money may not be obtained. Now there is an opportunity to get this money without completing the commission in front of him. No matter who it is, it will be tempting, right?
"Is it that the commission was exposed? No, that's impossible. The other party is from a rival TV station. They probably hope that the WTV scandal will be exposed." Qian Xiaoyi thought: "So it's just the fortune teller's intuition? If so, then she is a very powerful fortune teller."

In Qian Xiaoyi's opinion, although fortune-tellers cannot predict a person's fate by observing the laws of motion of planets thousands of light years away as they claim, their ability to collect and infer information cannot be underestimated. A good fortune-teller can subconsciously collect a lot of information just by seeing a little bit of information, and then automatically infer it in his mind and finally come to a conclusion.

This kind of subconscious inference is called intuition. It may not have the rigorous logic of a detective, but if one is gifted, one can often skip the reasoning stage and get accurate conclusions directly. However, this kind of talent is very rare.

So rubbish fortune tellers deceive themselves, average fortune tellers deceive others, and skilled fortune tellers deceive themselves and others. They believe in their own intuition and train this intuition through constant verification of results, and then become a prophet who will never be wrong no matter what he says.

And the Nakamori Anna in front of her is undoubtedly the last type. Just by intuition, she has guessed his bottom line in terms of money.

Qian Xiaoyi sighed inwardly. He hated dealing with this kind of people the most. Some old monsters in the country knew what he was going to do as soon as he stuck his butt out. They were like spirits and could not hide anything. This Anna did not look very old, probably around 30 years old. He hoped that she was not as powerful as those old guys.

"It's too little." Qian Xiaoyi said with a straight face.

Anna looked at Qian Xiaoyi's face and frowned slightly after hearing this answer.

She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Qian, I don't think you are dissatisfied with your lack of money. To be honest, I have read your fortune once before. Although I don't know why you accepted the invitation of the "Horror Night GO" program team, what you are doing is undoubtedly very dangerous. It may not only bring destruction to others, but also to yourself... So I beg you to stop what you want to do, because it will only bring you unwanted results. If what you want is wealth, I have a lot of connections here who can help you shine in the television industry."

Qian Xiaoyi curled his lips, feeling helpless. The intuition of these fortune tellers was extremely accurate, and it was unreasonably accurate.

So he could only tell the reasons he had prepared.

"Miss Anna, you mean, you want me to work for you?" Qian Xiaoyi asked. "Ten million is indeed a lot, but let me ask you a question. If I come to you, will you be willing to give up your current position?"

Anna pursed her lips and did not answer. Although the divination results showed that if Qian Xiaoyi was not stopped, he would bring destruction to everyone, she could not do such a noble thing as sacrificing her own status for such a thing. That was the result of her years of hard work, how could she give it away?

"You see, that's it. We have a saying here, there can't be two tigers in one mountain." Qian Xiaoyi said, "So, don't mention this kind of thing again. If there is nothing else, please forgive me for being rude."

Qian Xiaoyi didn't even drink the wine on the table. He stood up, said hello to Ashiya Yoshisuke, and left Huangquan House. He didn't want to stay in the same room with a charlatan of Anna's level, as that would expose more information.

Anna sighed and murmured, "The result of the divination this morning was correct. Did I fail this time..."
