The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 372 Shadow of Truth (19)

On weekdays, as a live streamer, in order to attract popularity, Suzuna often wears fancy clothes during live broadcasts, causing many new viewers to question whether she is an exorcist or a shrine maiden, but a liar who uses such gimmicks to attract attention.

But old fans know that Suzuna is indeed a real shrine maiden who inherited a small shrine.

Because of the influence of the primitive shamanism's doctrine that all things have spirits, Japan claims to have eight million gods, so the types of gods enshrined in various shrines are countless, and all kinds of strange things are enshrined in shrines.

But the shrine in Suzuna's family does not enshrine some strange god. On the contrary, her shrine enshrines a very orthodox Japanese god - Tenten-no-Mikoto.

In Japanese legend, Amaterasu, who represents the sun, hid in the Iwato, causing the world to lose sunlight and fall into darkness. In order to lure Amaterasu out of the Iwato, other gods held a banquet and asked the Tenten-no-Mikoto to dance outside the Iwato. Attracted by the sounds of singing and dancing, Amaterasu quietly opened the gap in the Iwato and took a peek. Then she was pulled out, allowing the world to see light again.

The iconic function of this Tiandian woman is dancing.

Kagura dance, as a dance to communicate with gods, can not only pray for blessings and drive away evil spirits, but also soothe the anxiety in the hearts of people or spirits.

At this moment, every move of Suzuna was full of longing rhythm and was breathtaking. She was too focused on dancing, so she didn't notice that a tarot card rose from her arms. It was a card with a "Star" on it.

chah~
When the Kagura bell rang, the tarot card turned into a sky full of stars, covering the stage. The bright starlight descended to the mortal world and stopped in front of the broken puppets, as if one could grab the starlight with just one hand.

"Stop, you don't know what you are doing!" The raccoon cat king became a little impatient. He stretched out his claws and grabbed Suzuna who was dancing the Kagura dance.

"Breaking the military."

Qian Xiaoyi took a heavy step forward and jumped high into the air. The copper coin sword in his hand flashed red and slashed towards the huge claw, actually cutting it in half, and then turned into ashes and dispersed.

"Oh, is it really still an illusion?" Qian Xiaoyi landed on the stage, looked up at the raccoon cat and said, "Even at this time, you still dare not let your true body come out. It really fits your personality. Then, you can't get through here."

"Damn exorcist!" The King of Civet Cats furiously created more illusions and attacked Qian Xiaoyi.

Crack~ Another ring of the Kagura bell was heard. At the same time, no one noticed that the hand of a broken doll suddenly moved. It grabbed the starlight in front of it and refused to let go.

……

Chieko Takaya sat on the sofa at home, her eyes trembling slightly as she stared at the TV. As an agent at Starlight Agency, she was naturally informed of this matter by her friends. She got up from the bed late in the night and turned on the TV to watch this big event.

"I guarantee it with my own character! Mr. Laishan is definitely not the person that Shichijo Masato said he was!"

Watching the declarations made by those familiar faces on TV, Chieko Takaya subconsciously said, "No, that's not the case." As an agent who has been working in Starlight Agency for several years and was recently made a full-time agent, during this period of time, Chieko Takaya has gradually seen the darkness within the agency, including the situation faced by the newcomers she is managing.

Although she didn't know the details of the abyss, she understood that what Nanajo Masato said was probably true.

At this moment, she was very upset and regretful. Over the years, she had sent so many young people who had beautiful expectations for the future into this abyss. When she thought of this, Chieko Takaya couldn't help but tremble all over.

But the more she learned about Starlight Agency, the more she realized how huge the network of relationships behind this place was, so she didn't dare to delve into the things behind it. She could only watch the children she brought up gradually slide into the abyss, which made her even more painful.

Just when she was panicking and at a loss, her cell phone rang.

"Qiqi? Did you see it too?" Chieko Takatani answered the phone and learned a shocking news.

"You said you were going to expose President Raishan?" Takatani Chieko said excitedly, "No, I absolutely won't allow you to do such a dangerous thing! Do you know what will happen to you if you fail?"

On the other end of the phone, Kiki said, "Yes, I know. But Chizhizi, this is the last chance. I have been very scared during this period. I am afraid of what kind of punishment I will receive after rejecting President Raiyama... Chizhizi, if what Mr. Nanajo just said is true... I would rather die than become like that. That is not the idol I imagined. For me, being an idol is a profession that can bring hope to people. This is what a very important person told me, so... I want to do what an idol should do."

Takatani Chieko said weakly: "But... Qiqi, you guys..."

Qiqi continued, "Sister Qianzhizi, I know this may be difficult for you, but we will still do it. I called you this time just to say thank you. If it weren't for Sister Qianzhizi, we wouldn't have been able to hold on until now... So, thank you, Sister Qianzhizi."

"Wait, Qiqi..." Before she could finish, Qiqi hung up the phone.

Chieko Takaya hurriedly called back, but found that she couldn't get through. The other party was talking to someone else. So Chieko Takaya looked at the TV and it seemed that Shichijo Masato received a call from someone. About a minute later, at the press conference, Kiki and the other two appeared on the video conference on the big screen.

Nanajo Masato said loudly into the microphone: "Everyone, what I reported is definitely not slander. Just now, three new victims connected to our channel. Please be patient and listen to what they say."

"Hello everyone, I'm Kiki from Starlight Agency." Kiki said, "After entering the agency, I did find out that President Lai Shan... Lai Shan successfully violated the artists in the agency, and we were one of the victims. Lai Shan successfully used the so-called guidance courses as an excuse to..."

"No, this is totally not enough, Kiki!" Takatani Chieko murmured in panic while watching the TV, "If you get caught up in this vortex easily, you will be torn to pieces! No, we can't do this... I absolutely cannot let you become like that..."

The face of Usa Miya appeared in her mind. She knew Usa Miya too well. She could even see numbness and despair in Usa Miya's eyes from the previous video. That was definitely not the girl she knew. She had disappeared for more than two years. She must have been threatened, so she disappeared so quietly without even calling her.

"I must help them..." Not only Usa Miura, but Chieko Takaya also remembered many faces. Those were all new people she had taught before, so she finally made up her mind, overcame her fear, opened the phone book in her mobile phone, and started making calls.
