The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 348 Pre-War Preparations (3)

Two days later, a black business car stopped downstairs of Lingkong Office.

"Thank you so much this time." Takatani Chieko said happily, "After appearing on the show last time, Kiki and the others' exposure increased a lot. They successfully passed the agency's selection and became official idols. Even I am finally going to become a formal idol's agent."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Qian." The three idols bowed in unison.

"Ah, it's just a small matter." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Their own efforts are also very important. The director told me last time that these three girls acted very well. If there are suitable roles next time, they can continue to guest star. If the three of them become famous in the future, it will be "Horror Night GO" that will benefit from it. Don't act like a big shot and don't come when the time comes."

"How could that be!" Qiqi said with a smile, "I will definitely go."

"Please have some tea." Inuyama Heita poured tea for the guests. Kiki looked at him strangely. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he looked familiar.

Qian Xiaoyi was not surprised that they successfully passed the selection. "Horror Night GO" is now a popular program after all, and each case is broadcast for several episodes in a row, which is equivalent to three unknown trainee idols running several episodes of advertisements on TV. If the popularity does not increase, then there is really nothing that can be done.

There are several ways for Starlight Agency to recruit idols or artists. One of the more common ones is that they are sent to be trained by their parents since childhood, and after they have learned enough, they are put into an idol group to accumulate popularity, and finally debut as a solo artist. This kind of person is basically branded by the agency and will be a member of the agency for life.

And there is another type of selection like Kiki, where the agency will absorb potential underground idols from the society, and then through a selection process like raising insects, they will pick out the most popular people from the many candidates. The level of cruelty is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Most of them can't even pass the first batch of selection.

So for Kiki and the others, they are lucky to have such a precious opportunity to become idols that everyone pays attention to and to show themselves to their heart's content under the spotlight.

But maybe they are not so lucky, and this career is not as bright as they imagined. Qian Xiaoyi looked at these three girls who were full of hope for the future and shook his head secretly. Now they can only see the glory and beauty of their idols, but cannot see the huge darkness below. Maybe what is waiting for them is not a smooth road to heaven, but a ticket to hell.

"By the way, since we are here, do you want to do some divination?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "Just consider it as a gift from me to you."

"Is it possible?" The three people's eyes lit up. When they were filming the "Horror Night GO" program, they had heard from others that Teacher Qian's divination was quite effective and ordinary people couldn't afford to hire him. They didn't expect that there would be such a good thing as free divination now?
"Then I'll leave it to you." The three of them bowed excitedly in thanks.

Inuyama Heita was watching the scene with empty eyes, thinking to himself: Brother Yi is going to fool people again.

"Then please tell me your dates of birth first." Qian Xiaoyi said, "It would be great if you could tell me the exact time of your birth."

The three of them told Qian Xiaoyi all this information. Then, Qian Xiaoyi pretended to take out the tortoise shell and copper coins to do some calculations. After mumbling for a while, he said in surprise, "Your horoscopes are surprisingly similar."

Takatani Chieko asked curiously: "Teacher Qian, what does this mean?"

Qian Xiaoyi picked up the copper coin and said, "Although you were born in different environments, your family situations are very similar... The hexagram shows that at the beginning, your family seemed to be very opposed to you becoming an idol, right?"

The three girls covered their mouths and looked at each other in surprise. Qiqi couldn't help but said, "Teacher Qian...how did you know?" "Of course the hexagram told me." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Ah Jian said angrily, "I told you that! As the president of Qiqi's fan club, I gathered all this information! You actually used this to deceive an innocent little girl. Shame on you, Brother Yi!"

"How amazing!" The three girls' eyes widened immediately. According to their age, they were ignorant girls who had just graduated from high school. They were not very worldly-wise and half-believing and half-doubting about this mysterious thing. After a little guidance, they believed it.

“Incredible…” Qian Xiaoyi looked at the coin seriously and said, “Three girls who were not recognized by the people around them came together because of a common dream and formed a band. Since then, the trajectory of your lives has changed… In this short period of half a year, you are like a match made in heaven, with complementary destinies and never leaving each other, thus creating a miracle. No one thought that you could really make it this far…”

Qian Xiaoyi's words seemed to clearly describe their life trajectories during this period. The three girls were a little excited after hearing them. This is them! Teacher Qian is so accurate! He can even predict this.

Then, Qian Xiaoyi's next words made their hearts fall to the bottom.

"But... things are going to get bad next..." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "You are in trouble."

Takaya Chieko couldn't help but ask, "What's going to happen, Teacher Qian?"

The three girls also looked at Qian Xiaoyi eagerly, swallowing their saliva and waiting for his decision.

Qian Xiaoyi cast another hexagram, and then said solemnly: "The hexagram shows that after the fish jumps over the dragon gate, what awaits you is not only the opportunity to rise, but also the difficult choice that comes with it. This choice may cause a rift in the relationship between the three of you, and then lead to its collapse."

"How could this happen?" Qiqi's face turned pale, and the other two people were not much better. The joy they had at the beginning was gone, and they all became nervous.

"We have finally come this far..."

Takaya Chieko quickly asked, "There must be a solution, right? Right? Teacher Qian?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Let me see... The hexagram says that if you want to go on this path, you must pay a huge price. This price is the reason for your disagreement... It's very difficult, this level is very difficult to pass, but there are ways, but the hope of success of this method is very slim. If it fails, you may face a more tragic ending. The achievements you have made now may be gone forever, and you will never be able to make a breakthrough again. Perhaps succumbing to the darkness may be a good thing for your future development..."

"Please tell us!" Qiqi said seriously: "Please, Teacher Qian! The three of us have come this far together. There is no reason to abandon anyone and develop on our own. We have survived so many difficulties. We can't collapse here!"

"Since you ask for this..." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You will face unprecedented darkness. If you do not intend to compromise, then remember one sentence: you will live together and die apart. Only by defeating your common enemy can you have a glimmer of hope..."
