The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 389 Shadow of Truth (36)

"This is..." Lai Shanchenggong stood on the stage of the press conference at a loss, looking at the reporters who were taking pictures frantically and the director of WTV who had fainted from fright.

He turned his head mechanically and saw his secretary trembling and slumped on the ground beside him, his eyes full of fear. The wet mark on his trousers between his legs was expanding, and there was a very obvious footprint on the secretary's high-end suit at the belly.

"This is..." Lai Shan successfully turned his head to the other side. Nanajo Masato and Tachibana Mio were standing on the edge of the stage, looking at him with contempt.

Shichijo Masato sneered, "What a show, President Raiyama."

Tachibana Mio sneered without saying anything, and there was even a hint of pity in her eyes.

In a trance, Lai Shan successfully saw Qian Xiaoyi's smug sneer at the bottom of the stairs.

He fell into a trap.

"No...it's not like that, it shouldn't be like this!" Lai Shan rushed to the podium and shouted into the microphone: "What I just said is not true, someone wants to harm me! Someone wants to harm me! It's the exorcists hired by Shichijo Masato! They want to harm me! They want to curse me to death!"

He suddenly showed this ugly behavior of talking without thinking, which made the reporters active again.

"Mr. Laishan, is what you just said true?"

"Could you please reveal the names on that list?"

"May I ask why you do this?"

"Were you threatening us just now?"

"So what Mr. Nanajo accused is true?"

Lai Shanchenggong's eyeballs behind his brown sunglasses were trembling violently, and his vision kept switching between reality and the ghost realm, sometimes it was the reporters in the audience, sometimes it was the group of exorcists.

At this moment, his mind was blank, his body was out of control, and he muttered, "It's not true... someone wants to hurt me..."

In the ghost realm, the disgusting black networks around everyone began to break one by one and slowly disappear. Seeing this, Qian Xiaoyi put away the barrier and looked at the King of Civet Cats on the steps, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary civet cat. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huh~ This is finally done."

Anna looked thoughtful as she looked at the red mark on the raccoon king's chest and asked, "Curse? When?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Before the battle, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bring you in to die."

Ling Na sat down on the ground, and said in fear: "I was scared to death by that guy's threat just now. If he really uses the methods he said..."

Even an exorcist can't resist bullets.

Only King Kong was still confused: "What happened? How did he win all of a sudden?"

"You'll understand when you get out." Qian Xiaoyi said to King Kong with a smile.

Everyone smiled and did not explain to King Kong. Instead, they came to the stairs. Xingchang looked at the raccoon cat in front of him that was only one-third of his height and said, "Is this the real body of this guy? And the huge size before was completely supported by external objects."

Anna stared at the red mark on the raccoon's chest and asked, "It's a curse that has no killing power at all... but it's just right to use it at a time like this. So have you been waiting for this moment when he shows a flaw?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Yes, the curse can only be most effective when it appears at the most appropriate time. Because the source of this guy's power is not himself, but other things, so if you want to defeat him completely, you can only cut off his connection with other people and let him be abandoned by them."

"And in order to make him say those words, we must first force him into a desperate situation and weaken his spirit so that he cannot detect the onset of the curse." Anna praised: "Then let him get carried away and talk big... This guy's character will make him show off to us. No matter how much injustice he has suffered before, he will intensify his efforts to get it back, and then he will be abandoned by the people behind him. The strategy is linked together, you are worthy of being the psychic detective." "Don't mention that unlucky nickname..." Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly.

Suzuna raised her hand and asked, "Then was Usa Mi Sakura's list also within your expectations, Mr. Qian?"

Qian Xiaoyi explained: "That was indeed an accident. I just wanted to cut off Lai Shan's connection with the people behind him so as to defeat him. But with this list, my strategy has indeed been carried out more smoothly. Moreover, the people behind him will also be implicated because of this list. Don't think that this matter can be fooled so easily."

King Kong said: "I told you, justice and fairness do exist!"

Anna sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's more because of political struggles. The enemies of the people on the list will not let go of this opportunity."

At this moment, the surrounding space began to distort and vibrate, and cracks appeared on the walls and the photos. Qian Xiaoyi looked around and said, "Because of the loss of power, this guy's nest is about to collapse. We'd better get out now."

"Is this some kind of Hollywood movie?" Ken's voice rang in Inuyama Heita's ears: "The boss wants to blow up the base right after he defeats it. Isn't that too cliché? There's really no creativity... I really can't do anything about you, so let me lead the way."

Inuyama Heita rolled his eyes secretly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the vibrations around him became stronger, and this ghost realm was collapsing.

"What about this guy? This raccoon cat." King Kong clenched his fist and asked, "Should we give him the final blow? I remember our commission is to subdue monsters, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "No, let's keep him. If he dies on the stage outside, it will be what those people behind him want. They can't wait to kill Laishan. On the contrary, Laishan will definitely surrender to the enemy without hesitation to protect himself and be used as a breakthrough in the case. The longer he lives, the better it will be for us."

Ling Na sighed: "I have to say, this guy is really immortal..."

Inuyama Heita said: "Um...is it time to go?"

Everyone looked around and saw that the speed of the ghost domain's collapse was increasing, so Qian Xiaoyi said decisively: "Let's go, let's go now."

"Tsk... at this time?" Xingchang looked at the King of Tanuki reluctantly and muttered, "I haven't got the research materials yet..."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw the crown on the head of the civet cat king, and his eyes lit up. He grabbed it into his arms and shouted like a thief: "Go, go!"

After getting the spoils, this guy was the first to rush out.

"Hey, whoever sees it gets a share." Qian Xiaoyi shouted, and followed with the others.

"Wait for me!" Ling Nai held up her skirt and shouted anxiously, "I don't know the way."

"Inuyama clan, the exit is in that direction." Ken reminded Inuyama Heita in his ear.

Everyone ran all the way, Inuyama Heita ran to the front and shouted, "Everyone follow me!"

They hurried on, and finally when the ceiling was about to collapse, they found the exit to the ghostland - an old TV.

Regardless of their image, everyone lay on the ground, stuck their butts out, and crawled into the TV screen, then crawled out from the other end and returned to the original meeting room.

When everyone came out, they all sat on the floor, and the rustling, snowy and noisy TV screen on the table distorted for a moment, and then...

It turned off automatically with a "click".
