The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 284: In the Name of Youth (5)

Qian Xiaoyi had never expected that in this middle school's cultural festival, there would be three classes planning the haunted house alone, and each of them had different themes.

One is in the Japanese ghost style, with talisman paper covered with bloody handprints on the door and walls, which looks quite intimidating.

One is the bloody style of an abandoned hospital, where blood plasma seems to be free, and Qian Xiaoyi even saw that the intestines used as props were bought and cleaned pig intestines...

The last one is in the style of a zombie movie, where players have to go among the zombies to get the antidote.

The rules of the haunted house are simple. If you pass through a haunted house calmly without screaming, you can get a stamp on a small card. If you get three stamps on the small card, you can get a free snack voucher for a specific stall.

I have to say that these students have great creativity. After challenging one haunted house, they can't help but go to the other two to continue challenging them. They also take care of the business of the stalls outside, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the classroom serving as the venue for the haunted house is still too small. It can only be separated by cardboard and curtains as much as possible to create narrow spaces and passages. It is impossible to perform any tricks. After spending 100 yen to enter, you can walk out in a minute or two. It's okay to scare high school girls, but it's too easy for Qian Xiaoyi.

Since he had helped adjust the feng shui of rooms in several famous haunted houses in Tokyo, Qian Xiaoyi was very familiar with the layout of haunted houses. He knew where there were traps and where people were hiding and ready to jump out. He often waited for the students to jump out and then scared them in return.

It even scared a student who was playing a ghost so much that he screamed "there really are ghosts" and ran away from his own classroom. It was very tasteless.

“Hahahaha~ Too naive, too naive!” Qian Xiaoyi shook the small card with three seals in his hand like a villain, and laughed: “If you want to scare me, your practice is far from enough!”

Kawasaki echoed like a lackey, "That's right, it's not scary at all! What's the point of a haunted house with this level?"

"Then why didn't you go in before?" Qian Xiaoyi suddenly asked, "As the head of the Supernatural Department, you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, right?"

"This..." Kawasaki said seriously, "This kind of childish trick is too boring for me."

"Eh~ Really?" The boy who was collecting fees at the entrance of the haunted house said sarcastically, "You were scared and screamed when you went in to play this morning, Kawasaki, you were totally scared and felt embarrassed, so you called in outside help, right?"

"That...that's different!" Kawasaki argued, "It's like watching a horror movie. Many people know it's fake, but they're still scared! If something suddenly jumps out from the darkness, everyone will be scared, right?"

“I think your current outfit is more terrifying. Is there really anyone who would go to a maid cafe like this?” the boy complained.

Kawasaki shook her pigtails and said coyly, "Hmph~ annoying! I'm not going to pay attention to you, Teacher Qian, let's go!"

Boy: "..."

Qian Xiaoyi: “…”

In addition to the various shops and exhibitions inside the teaching building and the stalls outside, other places were also well utilized at the cultural festival of Guqiu Middle School.

There is a stage in the playground and in the auditorium. One stage is used by the school's music club for outdoor performances, and the other stage is used for drama, manzai (Japanese comedy), musicals, etc. In addition, there are also sports clubs in the gymnasium playing games, or performing martial arts and judo. In short, almost every place is bustling.

After walking around outside and watching the student rock band perform, they came to the auditorium with snacks in hand. Kawasaki pointed to the sign outside and said, "Oh, we're in time! Miss Tanigaoka Contest!"

"Miss Guqiu?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Is it a beauty pageant?" "Yes." Chuanqi rubbed his hands and smiled, "The Miss Guqiu selection event is held every year. It is a tradition of our school. Everyone can sign up to participate."

"Everyone? Including boys?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes." Kawasaki smiled and said, "Boys can also go on stage in women's clothing. In one previous competition, a boy won first place. After putting on makeup and dressing up, he overshadowed the beauty of the girl."

"You young people really know how to have fun..." Qian Xiaoyi said speechlessly.

Kawasaki urged, "Let's get in quickly, or we'll have to sit in the back row later."

When they walked into the auditorium, there were already quite a few people chattering in the audience. The auditorium was filled with folding chairs. Just as the two were about to find a place to sit down, they ran into someone they knew.

"Oh! Teacher Qian, Kawasaki!" A muscular guy wearing a gi walked up to them. Miyamoto Yuzhi greeted them, "Are you here to cheer for Ono-san too?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "It's you. Xiaoye is also participating? How is it? Does she have a high chance of winning?"

Miyamoto Yuzhi said confidently: "I think she will win!"

Kawasaki said, "I remember you were supposed to be participating in a club performance at the gymnasium right now?"

Miyamoto Yuzhi said: "I slipped out, how could I miss Ono-san's selection activities!"

Kawasaki said: "It's a miracle that you haven't been expelled from the Judo Club yet..."

Miyamoto Yuzhi scratched his head: "It's not just me, everyone wants to come and watch, but I just run a little faster. Anyway, sit down first, the event is about to start."

While waiting for the event to start, Miyamoto Yuzhi began to introduce the rules of the event to Qian Xiaoyi:
The Miss Guqiu selection will last from the beginning to the end of the event, which is three days: the pre-event festival, the cultural festival, and the post-event festival. The first day is a free show, and the contestants will appear on stage in their own matching clothes, which is equivalent to an audition. The second day is a talent show, and the contestants will perform their best talents.

"And the third day..." Miyamoto Yuzhi and Kawasaki looked at each other and smiled obscenely at the same time.

"The third day?" Qian Xiaoyi cooperated with them and made a very curious expression, although he had probably guessed it.

Miyamoto Yuzhi said mysteriously: "The third day is... the swimming, costume, exhibition!"

"Woohoo~ So embarrassing~" Kawasaki screamed, covering his face.

Qian Xiaoyi's mouth twitched twice, he knew it would be like this, but for this group of adolescent high school students, this kind of activity was indeed very stimulating.

After a while, the time was almost up and those who found seats sat down. Those who arrived late could only stand around and watch. For a while, the auditorium was packed. It seemed that everyone was very interested in this event.

Just as the lights in the auditorium dimmed and the event was about to begin, a scream suddenly came from the backstage surrounded by curtains!
