The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 285 Chapter 6 In the Name of Youth ()

There seemed to be a little commotion backstage, causing the people outside to start discussing curiously, and the entire auditorium was filled with the buzz of discussion.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The host came up and started to announce the program. The event went on as usual, but the audience's attention had been drawn to the backstage.

At this time, a girl ran out from inside and fled from the auditorium. Another girl followed her, shouting her name.

"Isn't that Komaeda and Hina?" Miyamoto Yuzhi said sharply.

The person who ran out in front turned out to be Yui Maeda, which surprised everyone. Could it be that she also participated in the Miss Taniyama selection event?
After seeing her, Kawasaki's face changed. He seemed to have thought of something and felt very uncomfortable.

After a while, a girl was helped out from the backstage and sent outside with a pale face. She kept muttering inaudible words, as if she was frightened.

When Qian Xiaoyi saw the girl's face, he realized that he actually knew her, and blurted out, "Isn't this number one?"

"Number one?" The two turned to look at him, and Miyamoto Yuzhi asked, "Teacher Qian, what are you talking about?"

The so-called "No. 1" is actually the abbreviation of "Air Bangs Corps No. 1". Qian Xiaoyi had helped some female students with fortune-telling before. Several of the female students had the same air bangs, making it difficult to tell who was who. So Qian Xiaoyi unethically called them "Air Bangs Corps" and used numbers to distinguish them.

"Nothing." Qian Xiaoyi replied: "I have seen that girl. She once came to my shop for divination. It seems that her current situation is related to Xiao Maeda."

Hearing this, Kawasaki's body stiffened and his expression became very awkward, as if he had something to say but was unable to speak.

Qian Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes: "You didn't do anything stupid again, did you?"

"Anyway, let's talk about this outside." Kawasaki looked around and said, "This is not a good place to communicate."

Miyamoto Yuzhi said: "Well, let's go and take a look."

The three of them stood up and walked out of the auditorium. While looking for the two men, Kawasaki finally spoke and told Qian Xiaoyi what had happened the day before.

Under the light of dusk, Kawasaki and Komaeda Yui played the "fox, dog and raccoon" spirit summoning game. According to some popular sayings, the spirit summoned by this game may not necessarily be a fox fairy (fox spirit), but may also be various other spirits around...

Just like other spirit summoning games, the purpose of "Fox, Dog and Raccoon" is to summon the spirit, attach it to the coin used as a prop, and then answer the questions raised by the players, and finally send the spirit away, thus completing a round of the game.

"Fox, dog, and civet cat..." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. This kind of game has existed in his place since ancient times. It was called "Fuqi", which was nothing more than asking gods for divination. Later, many types were derived. Although fox, dog, and civet cat looked like just a "youthful version" of the orthodox Fuqi ceremony, if you were unlucky... or if you were lucky, it was still possible to really invite something.

However, in most cases, the players participating in the game secretly exert force to move the coin to the answer they want, or the weights of the two people's arms are uneven and the arms are suspended in the air. It is impossible for an ordinary person to hold on for too long, and the arms will naturally relax or tremble, so under the influence of gravity, the coin "autonomously" moves in a certain direction.

And excluding these situations, even if some fox fairy or evil spirit was really invited, Qian Xiaoyi didn't think they would be able to give any correct answers. Otherwise, if they really had the ability to ask how to solve difficult problems like the Goldbach conjecture, humans would have already left the earth.

"Then what? What happened?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Kawasaki continued his story.

"Fox, dog and raccoon, fox, dog and raccoon, please come quickly."

"Fox, dog, and raccoon, fox, dog, and raccoon, please come quickly."

"Fox, raccoon dog, fox, raccoon dog, please come soon." At that time, after Kawasaki and Komaeda Yui finished reading the summoning words, they felt a cold breath coming at the same time.

In the evening sunlight, Kawasaki looked at Yui Komaeda and found that her eyes suddenly seemed very strange, and Yui Komaeda had the same expression when she looked at him, as if she saw a stranger.

At this time, Kawasaki asked the coin: "Fox-dog raccoon, fox-dog raccoon, have you come yet?"

On the paper filled with words, the coin slowly passed through the torii gate painted at the top and moved to the top of the word "yes".

Both of them looked incredulous. Kawasaki swore that he definitely didn't use any force! Xiao Maeda Yui's face was already full of fear. If Kawasaki hadn't stopped her, she would have let go of her hand.

Then, they began to ask the fox, dog and raccoon the questions they wanted to ask.

Kawasaki asked, "How can I see ghosts?"

The coin began to move, moved to the Japanese pinyin for "し", and then stopped.

It is the pronunciation of "death".

Kawasaki's face turned pale at that time. He wanted to see a ghost, but he didn't want to die.

Next was Maeda Yui. She obviously didn’t want to play anymore, her body was shaking, but Kawasaki urged her: “Ask quickly, the fox, dog and raccoon won’t leave until you finish asking.”

So Maeda Yui asked, "Um... fox, dog, can I not participate in the cultural festival?"

The coin moved to "No".

Kawasaki was confused: "Huh? Why don't you want to participate in the cultural festival?"

He just asked the question subconsciously, but he didn't expect the coin to start moving on its own.

Komaeda Yui's face changed drastically. While the coin was still moving, she pulled her hand away and stood up, still in shock.

"Hey...we haven't sent the foxes, dogs and raccoons away yet!" Kawasaki panicked.

"What fox, dog, raccoon? I think you are playing tricks on me, Minister!" Xiao Maeda Yui said angrily, "I'm going home."

"Wait...wait a minute, fox, dog, raccoon..."

With a snap, the sliding door of the activity room was closed, and Yui Maeda had left.

"That's it." Kawasaki said helplessly to Qian Xiaoyi: "I was worried about her this morning, so I went to check on her. I found that she was no different from usual, so I thought nothing was wrong. I didn't expect an accident to happen."

Miyamoto Yuzhi said dissatisfiedly: "You still like to play those messy things. Now something has happened, right? If Hina is involved next time, I will not forgive you."

"You should know that after inviting the fox, dog and raccoon, you must strictly follow the rules and send them away, right?" Kawasaki ignored Miyamoto Yuzhi and said to Qian Xiaoyi: "The game was interrupted directly before. Is it possible that Yui..."
