The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 341: The Bizarre Adventures of Shichijo Masato (13)

"The curse... on me..." Masato Nanajo muttered.

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi said. He was very sure that there was a curse power in Nanajo Masato's body. Otherwise, according to Nanajo Masato's previous materialistic state, he would never associate it with the supernatural. If it were not for the power of the curse, even Qian Xiaoyi would find it difficult to drag him into the ghost realm.

But there is one very strange thing. Since Shichijo Masato is a materialist and does not know cognitive theory, the psychological suggestion that must be implanted before the curse takes effect will be difficult to take effect. Then where does such a huge curse power come from in his body? This is also a question that needs to be clarified.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "You said before that the dizziness symptoms started recently. Think carefully, is there really nothing wrong? Or have you been to any strange places or met any strange people?"

Nanajo Masato thought hard while holding a cup of water, then frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, but I really can't remember anything that happened that was of concern. I haven't been to any strange places during this period. To be honest, after I came back, I basically seldom went to other places except the company and home. I have been abroad since high school, and I don't know anyone here at all. If my brother hadn't suddenly fallen ill, I wouldn't have come back."

Qian Xiaoyi seemed to have found a breakthrough, and he quickly asked, "Brother, what disease do you have?"

Shichijo Masatoshi: "Cancer, bone cancer."

"Eh? This is a terminal illness..." Qian Xiaoyi asked, "When was his symptom discovered?"

Nanajo Masato said with some sadness: "It was discovered two years ago, but they didn't tell me because they were worried that it would affect my studies. It wasn't until last year when the disease worsened that my family notified me to go home. Although it was discovered in the early stages and I heard there was a chance of cure, the treatment effect is not very good..."

"Oh, my condolences." Qian Xiaoyi patted his shoulder. Faced with this incurable terminal illness, even rich people cannot avoid death. In the face of death, everyone is equal.

After a moment of silence, Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Have you visited him recently?"

"Of course." Nanajo Masato said, "I will go to the hospital whenever I have time."

At this point, Nanajo Masato was stunned and asked, "Are you suspecting that the curse on me came from him? Or, to go further, do you suspect that my brother's illness was caused by a curse?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I can't draw conclusions about medical matters. After all, I don't understand them. But if you are cursed, it can indeed attract some bad things hidden in your body."

"This...this is impossible?" Nanajo Masato said hesitantly.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "You have seen those unrealistic things. Do you still think it is impossible? Maybe he was cursed first, which caused problems with his body, and then induced cancer. Of course, this is just my guess. It is also possible that it is just a simple disease and I am overthinking it."

"But..." Nanajo Masato said, "Our Nanajo family is at least one of the top financial groups in Japan. If it's just a curse, there's no way we can't find someone to deal with it. My grandfather donated money to several big shrines and temples! Whether it's monks or priests, our family knows a lot of them."

Qian Xiaoyi said dimly, "So I guess, if it really is a curse, it's very likely that someone who is very close to your family, or even someone in your family, did it. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why you were cursed even though you didn't go anywhere. And you're the kind of person that's not easy to be cursed by, not to mention that your family is so high-ranking that even if someone is cursed, there's a way to remove it. So it's only easy to do it when they're around you."

Hearing Qian Xiaoyi's guess, Qijiao Zhengren stood up, stared at Qian Xiaoyi and asked: "Do you have any evidence?"

He thought of someone. If it was that person...

Qian Xiaoyi said very straightforwardly: "Not at all, it's just a guess, but if you can take me to see your elder brother, we will know."

"I'll find a way to deal with this." Nanajo Masato said, "He's in our family's private hospital now. He usually stays in the sterile ward. The doctor doesn't allow outsiders to see him. I have to go back and ask my grandfather." "There's no rush for this." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Don't forget, you also have a curse in your body. Instead of worrying about others, you might as well worry about yourself first."

Nanajo Masato asked, "Can the curse in my body be removed?"

"I'll try, but I can't guarantee it." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I've never seen you in this situation, I can only say that I'll do my best."

Nanajo Masato nodded. If the other party said that he guaranteed that the medicine could cure the disease, he would still suspect that the other party was bragging, or simply that there was nothing wrong with him and Qian Xiaoyi was setting a trap to cheat him of his money. But now Qian Xiaoyi's answer made him believe what Qian Xiaoyi said even more.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start now?" Nanajo Masato said, "Remove the curse from me first."

Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Now? How can it be so easy to remove the curse? Besides, the environment here is not good. I need to prepare some materials for the ritual before I can help you remove the curse."

"When can we start?" asked Nanajo Masato.

Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Give me three days. I will prepare the materials during this time. After three days, you go to my office and I will perform a purification ritual for you to try to remove the curse, but it may not be successful."

"Okay." Nanajo Masato agreed.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. You've seen the situation in the WTV building. If we don't take care of such a large area, it will likely affect more people. Do you want to deal with it?"

Shichijo Masato asked, "How are you going to deal with this?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "If we want to deal with it, we must start from two aspects at the same time. The first aspect is the source of the real world. If we don't change that situation, even if we deal with the supernatural part, the darkness will continue to grow. It's only a temporary solution, but it can only last for 10 to 20 years.

The second aspect is the place we just entered. I will find a way to destroy it. It is a very dangerous place, but I will find a few colleagues and work with them to complete the commission. Because this is a big project, and it requires the cooperation of several exorcists, the price... will be more expensive. "

"How much?" asked Nanajo Masato.

Qian Xiaoyi raised a finger: "This number."

Ten million yen is about the same as the money Miss Tachibana gave him. He plans to find Hoshiba and let the two of them complete the commission together. By the way, they can also study the composition of this ghost domain. It's like killing two birds with one stone. He was going to solve this matter anyway.

Then Qian Xiaoyi, who was making his plans, heard Qijiao Zhengren say something that made his heart stop.

Nanajo Masato frowned and said, "One hundred million? It's more expensive than I thought, but if it can really solve the problem just now...Okay, I agree. I still have enough money on my card."

Qian Xiaoyi swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly: "Ahahaha... Actually it's not that expensive. After all, it's very dangerous there~"
