The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 330: The Bizarre Adventures of Shichijo Masato (3)

Nanajo Masato did not first suspect that he had seen a ghost, but instead asked, "Is there a hallucinogen in that cigarette?"

"A little bit, but that's not the problem." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. What the other party said was actually correct. The cigarettes used in conjunction with the temporary ceremony of opening the third eye did contain some Chinese herbal medicine powder that could make people dazed, but they were harmless to the human body, and only with the help of special spells could people see spirits.

Nanajo Masato covered his mouth and nose, frowned and said: "What on earth are you doing? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't let you go!"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "You just saw an illusion, right?"

"Isn't this the result of the smoke?" Nanajo Masato emphasized, "The hallucinogen ingredients in it."

Qian Xiaoyi continued, "And you saw a fat boy and a white fox, and you saw them greeting you, right?"

"What?!" Nanajo Masato was shocked. "How do you know? Is it some kind of psychological suggestion? Did you give me a mental suggestion before and let me see a specific scene?"

Qian Xiaoyi continued, "That fat guy looks wretched, wearing a light green plaid shirt and jeans, standing on my left, and the white fox is squatting on the coffee table in front of you... Do you want me to continue? What kind of psychological suggestion can allow you to see such a clear scene?"

Now Qijio Zhengren was a little dumbfounded. The scene he just saw had not disappeared so quickly, so he remembered it very clearly, and it was exactly the same as Qian Xiaoyi described.

Nanajo Masato asked in disbelief: "…What on earth is going on? What did you do?"

Qian Xiaoyi put out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Isn't this obvious? You should know that I am an exorcist."

"Ridiculous!" Nanajo Masato immediately retorted firmly: "Are you trying to tell me that gods and ghosts exist? This is totally inconsistent with the logic of how the world works! If those things really exist, if there is heaven and hell, then there would be too many unreasonable things in the world!"

Qian Xiaoyi observed the appearance of Qijiao Zhengren and found that there was no hesitation on his face. Generally speaking, in such a situation, those curses would not be able to take effect on him at all.

Sometimes, a materialist is a materialist and an atheist is an atheist, and the two should not be confused.

If someone is a pure atheist, then it is possible that he is just "superstitious" about atheism. Such a person will not look for any arguments, but simply choose a faction to stand on. Once he sees an inexplicable situation, he will immediately feel as if the sky has fallen, or he will refuse to admit it even if he dies.

On the other hand, although Masato Shichijo was also in doubt, he immediately began to think about the logical chain involved and came to the conclusion after thinking about it. So he should be the same as Suzuki, who was a materialist first and then became an atheist after materialistic arguments.

So why those curses appeared on Nanajo Masato is very interesting.

"You know my style of doing things." Qian Xiaoyi said, "For those who believe in the existence of ghosts, I will go along with what they say, but for people like you who don't believe, I won't force you to prove anything. That's why even though I'm an exorcist, you're still willing to communicate with me normally."

Nanajo Masato frowned and asked, "Then why are you telling me this now?" "Because you've already seen it." Qian Xiaoyi spread his hands, "Once you can see those things, it means you have established a connection with some kind of supernatural thing, which means you have entered our world. If I still do what I did before, it would be irresponsible to the client. In my eyes, your previous fainting was probably not a simple problem like low blood sugar, but... a curse. You were cursed."

"Huh? Curse?" Nanajo Masato said with a smile: "If this situation really happens, does every country have to form a curse team to curse the enemy?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I heard that there were some 20 or 30 years ago."

Nanajo Masato rolled his eyes and said, "Although I am also confused about how you did it, I don't recognize the hallucinations that are like hallucinogens. Unless you have other evidence to prove that those things exist."

Qian Xiaoyi grinned and said, "If you were still in the same state as before, even I wouldn't be able to let you touch those things. But now it's different. There is indeed a cursed power in your body, and you can enter that state during the attack. It's easy then."

Nanajo Masato warned, "Don't try to make me go to some weird place and give me hallucinations with hallucinations. If that happens, I will call the police, I will definitely call the police!"

"No need to go to any strange place." Qian Xiaoyi said mysteriously, "Just go to the WTV building. Now that you have entered this world, it's time to see what's lurking in your company."

"WTV building?" Nanajo Masato opened his mouth slightly. "You mean, it's right there?"

"That's right." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You don't want to go to a strange place because you're afraid that I'll poison you or something like that? Then let's set the location in your office. I won't use the cigarettes I used just now. You can also decide the day. You can go to the hospital for a full-body checkup in advance so that you don't always suspect that I'm cheating. But pay attention, it must be at night."

Seeing Qian Xiaoyi's confidence, Qijiao Zhengren agreed, "Okay, then do as you said. I will go for the examination first, and I will inform you after the examination. I want to see what you will let me see."

He stood up and left Lingkong Office with a look of distrust.

"Brother Yi, do you really want to let him enter that ghost area?" Inuyama Heita asked, "Will it be too dangerous?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "This is the only way to gain his trust. Otherwise, we can only watch his curse become more and more frequent, or he will think we are a liar again and no longer trust us...

Moreover, his curse is very strange, and the time of onset is irregular. He is a materialist, so it is difficult to keep his eyes open for a long time by establishing contact with him. The only reliable way is to drag him into the ghost realm.

As for telling him the knowledge of the Cognition School... Just like he doesn't trust me, I don't trust him either. It's obvious that someone deliberately cursed him, and he has enemies around him. I don't want our intelligence to be leaked out like this."

"I understand." Heita Inuyama said.
