The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 287 In the Name of Youth (8)

When Qian Xiaoyi came to the outside of the health room, there were already several people waiting outside in the corridor. It seemed that this No. 1 was really popular and many people were worried about her.

Before Qian Xiaoyi could ask, a girl had already seen Qian Xiaoyi and called out first.

"Ah, it's Teacher Qian!"

Everyone looked at Qian Xiaoyi, and Qian Xiaoyi also saw the girl who spoke.

"Ah, it's number two." Qian Xiaoyi said in his heart. It was obvious that this girl was also a victim who had gone to him for divination with number one.

The reason why Qian Xiaoyi was able to recognize her so quickly was not because he remembered the girl’s face, but because he recognized the crystal pendant on the girl’s wrist. That thing was the “energy field harmonizing crystal” that he sold.

"Did Teacher Qian also hear about that incident, so that's why he came?" Number Two said gratefully, "I didn't expect Teacher Qian would still remember us."

"Of course, how could I forget? You are all my parents who provided me with food and clothing during these difficult times~"

Of course, Qian Xiaoyi could only say this in his heart. He nodded and said, "As a former client, I will certainly keep it in mind... Let's not talk about the pleasantries. My intuition as a psychic detective tells me that there seems to be something supernatural at work in this matter. Is that right?"

The group of girls were very excited and shocked. It had only been a short while since the incident happened! And this psychic detective came to their door. He was so dedicated!
"Yes, something strange did happen at that time." Number Two said, "We were chatting with Xiao Maeda at the time, because she suddenly disappeared after school yesterday, so we asked casually, wanting to know where she went..."

In her narration, it was just a normal chat, but unexpectedly, Yui Maeda told them a strange thing.

"She said she was in the activity room of the Supernatural Department with Kawasaki." Number Two said with some fear: "We asked them if they were doing something shameful, but she denied it. Then, under our questioning, she finally said that she was playing 'Fox, Dog and Raccoon' with Kawasaki..."

As soon as this word was said, No. 2 felt a chill. She continued, "She said it as a joke at the time, saying that it must be Kawasaki, as the minister, who wanted to scare her and deliberately moved the coin to the answer, so she stopped playing halfway through."

"I think there's something wrong with her!" Another girl also stood up. Qian Xiaoyi thought she looked familiar and she also had air bangs, so he called her No. 3. No. 3 said, "Teacher Qian, you should know, right? In spirit summoning games like foxes, dogs and raccoons, sometimes things can go wrong..."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "So Xiao Maeda suddenly became abnormal while chatting with you? Was there any sign?"

"No, that's not the case." Number Two said, "Then the selection was about to start, and we didn't pay much attention to it. When we were about to go on stage, Xiaobi was chatting with her. I don't know what happened, but her expression and demeanor suddenly changed. It became very scary, and there was only the white of her eyes. She kept muttering strange syllables, as if it was the language of another world, and pounced on Xiaobi..."

"So after a while, she woke up by herself and fled the auditorium?" Qian Xiaoyi touched his chin and thought.

"Xiao Bi is resting in the health room." Number Two suddenly said, "There is a health teacher accompanying her inside, so let's not go in and disturb her rest...Um, Teacher Qian, the selection is still going on, so we...will go and participate in the selection first."

"Go ahead, I'll go in and ask about the situation myself." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Several girls left here quickly as if they were pardoned. It was obvious that if it weren't for the fake sisterhood and the loss of face, they would have left here to participate in activities long ago.

Qian Xiaoyi asked the others to wait outside, knocked on the door, and walked in after getting permission.

"Sorry to bother you." Qian Xiaoyi walked into the health room, where a female school doctor was standing by the bed. No. 1 was lying on the bed resting, and his face was still a little pale.

"You don't look like someone from the school, do you?" The female school doctor saw Qian Xiaoyi, a stranger, and immediately stood up and said, "Please leave here immediately..." "It's Teacher Qian!" Number One saw Qian Xiaoyi and immediately showed excitement on her face. She said, "Teacher, that's the psychic detective Qian Xiaoyi! A very famous exorcist!"

The female school doctor frowned and said, "But he is still an outsider..."

Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I heard that something bad happened to No. 1... Sakurai. She used to be my client, so I wanted to come and see the situation. If it's inconvenient for Sakurai, then forget it."

"Teacher Qian, please don't leave!" Number One suddenly shouted, "Yui! There's something wrong with Yui! There's something fishy about her! Please help me see if I'm being haunted?"

The female school doctor was still a little embarrassed, Qian Xiaoyi said: "Please rest assured, I will just ask about the situation, you can watch from the side, I won't do anything strange."

"Well... okay." The female school doctor nodded and said, "I'll sit over there, you guys can chat."

She closed the curtain beside the bed and sat down on the seat herself, leaving space for the two of them to talk.

Qian Xiaoyi sat down in front of No. 1's bed and said, "I have learned the general situation from others. So, Sakurai, please tell me what you talked about at that time?"

"I...we just chatted about some ordinary things." Number One said, "It was really just a normal chat. She looked a little nervous, so I went over to comfort her. I told her not to be nervous before going on stage and to just show herself openly."

Qian Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's all? You have to tell the truth. If your words irritate something in her, she might hold a grudge against you."

Number One was almost crying. She said, "That's really all."

"How is your relationship usually?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Number One: "Not close, but not too bad either... just an ordinary classmate. We chat when we meet, and occasionally I invite her to go shopping or attend events."

"Participate in the event? Did you invite her to this competition?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Why did Xiao Maeda go to this event? Although it's rude to say this, she has no hope of advancing, right?"

Number One was somewhat puzzled: "Um... Teacher Qian, I didn't ask her to participate. She signed up on her own. We were also surprised when we found out. And I really didn't say anything bad to her. After I knew about this, I kept encouraging her until she was about to go on stage. But I don't know why, she suddenly..."

Thinking of the other party's terrifying appearance, No. 1 grabbed the corner of Qian Xiaoyi's clothes and asked tremblingly: "Teacher Qian, please help me, am I being haunted by a vengeful spirit?"

Qian Xiaoyi looked at him carefully and said, "At the moment, it seems that you are fine, just a little frightened."

"But..." Number One said fearfully, "The way she looked at me was terrifying. I'm afraid I've been targeted by the ghost in her body. Now I don't even dare to go back to the auditorium. I'm afraid..."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Is that so? I'm sure you're fine now. The other party left before they even touched you. But if you're worried, I have a talisman here that can protect you from evil spirits for a period of time. Even if you go back to participate in the event now, it's fine. But..."

When he heard that he could go back directly, No. 1 shouted excitedly:
"How much? I'll buy it!"
