The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 432: The Great Battle of Exorcism (9)

Qian Xiaoyi was a little surprised by this statement. He asked, "Please explain it in detail. What does it mean that part of the soul was taken away?"

"It means exactly what it says. Mr. Qian, don't you understand?" Suzuna hurriedly explained, "I saw with my own eyes that part of Takuya's soul was taken away by those evil spirits, and he disappeared in front of us just like that."

Qian Xiaoyi asked again: "What is your brother's condition now?"

Ling Na said: "He was in a daze, but he was responsive. He knew how to eat and go to the toilet. But he became unusually slow. It took him a long time to respond when I asked him a question."

Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "If that's the case, it's correct to say that I lost a part of my soul..."

According to tradition, this situation is called "losing the soul", the kind that cannot be cured even in the hospital, and it is a mental problem. But the strange thing is that although Suzuna's brother is not strong, he is at least an experienced exorcist. There was no dangerous ritual at the time, so how could this situation that only happens to ordinary people occur?
The whole thing was tinged with weirdness, and Qian Xiaoyi couldn't easily say what happened there.

"So what's the situation now?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Suzuna sighed, "We...we're trapped."

"Trapped?" Qian Xiaoyi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Suzuna said, "Because this place was really haunted last night, even the employees in the mansion encountered it, so some employees drove the mansion's car and fled overnight, leaving only a few people who didn't have time to leave. Then the housekeeper here called President Fuji and reported the situation here... He was also very anxious and said that we would not be allowed to leave until those evil spirits were driven away."

Qian Xiaoyi wanted to laugh after listening to this. That was right. His own western-style mansion was just using rumors to attract customers. He didn't expect it to be haunted. Anyone would be angry if this happened to them.

And these guys are all exorcists, isn't that a perfect match for their profession? You want to leave without solving the problem? Is it that easy to make money?
"There are more than a dozen of you, right?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "How come so many exorcists can't do anything to that place?"

Suzuna was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know how long Takuya can hold on. If we don't bring his soul back... We have never seen such a situation before, so Mr. Qian, please, for the sake of my help to you at WTV..."

It can be heard that Suzuna is indeed very anxious and seems to be at a loss as to what to do.

Qian Xiaoyi reminded: "I say, Lingnai, have you ever thought... that this was a premeditated incident?"

Suzuna was stunned: "What do you mean? Someone is targeting us? Are you talking about... [Hundred Demons]?!"

"I'm just guessing. After all, this incident is a bit too coincidental." Qian Xiaoyi said, "It was originally a non-dangerous commission, but you ran into an accident after you went there. Then, your relatives were in danger and you couldn't escape, so you had no choice but to ask me for help... If it was planned by the Hundred Ghosts, then this makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Impossible? Then what should I do?" Suzuna said a little unconfidently, but the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "What I mean is, if it could be Baigui, maybe we can ask for help from another person... Mr. Ashiya, didn't he say he was looking for news about Baigui?"

"As for that... Master Kidou has already contacted him." Suzuna said dejectedly, "Master Kidou has already called Mr. Ashiya since the incident happened yesterday."

Qian Xiaoyi was stunned and asked, "What did they say over there?"

"Mr. Ashiya can't leave. He is dealing with some things. He asked us to wait for two days." Suzuna said, "But he seems to have negotiated with the president of Fujiyoshi Mansion."

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and said, "If the negotiation is successful, you can all withdraw, and then it will be much easier to solve the problem of the mansion. What is the result?" Ling Na sighed and said, "President Fuji disagreed and insisted that we solve the problem before leaving. Otherwise, he was afraid that we would leave but the problem would not be solved. Besides me, others did not want to leave like this. They were afraid of losing their reputation and wanted to solve the matter on their own."

Qian Xiaoyi was amused: "Aren't you afraid of losing your reputation? Are you the only one who wants to leave?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "It seems that you have a lot of strong people over there. Do you still need me to go in this situation?"

"No, I feel different this time." Suzuna said seriously, "The feeling those things gave me yesterday... Actually, they are a bit like the monsters in WTV. They are not ordinary evil spirits at all. I am worried that those confident guys will kill Takuya and me here."

After these words came out, Qian Xiaoyi's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah." Suzuna said, "Ordinary attack methods have little effect on those guys, and their aura doesn't seem like that of ordinary evil spirits."

Qian Xiaoyi began to think, and only came back to his senses when Lingna's voice rang out.

"Mr. Qian?" Lingna asked cautiously.

"Ah? Well, I understand." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I will go, but the reward..."

Suzuna said excitedly: "I will pay the commission fee! If Mr. Qian can save Takuya, I won't ask for the commission fee from WTV!"

"Okay, wait for my news." Qian Xiaoyi hung up the phone.

Then, he called Hoshiba Ryo and asked, "Mr. Hoshiba, do you know what Mr. Ashiya is busy with recently?"

"Mr. Ashiya?" Hoshiba thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that he is dealing with the monster Chizuru Hayafune. That girl has appeared again and caused trouble. Several exorcists have been attacked by her. The old man is very worried right now."

"Monster" Hayafune Chizuru." Qian Xiaoyi had an impression of this name. In the forum rankings, this psychic was ranked only below Ashiya Yoshisuke in terms of strength. It seemed that Ashiya Yoshisuke was not making excuses for not wanting to go, but was he really held back by something else? Or was someone deliberately preventing him from going to support?

"By the way, Mr. Hoshiba, have you heard about what happened at Fuji Mansion?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"What's the matter?" Xingchang Rang said hurriedly, "I have several expedited orders here. If there is nothing else, I will hang up. The goods must be delivered within two days."

"Really? I understand." Qian Xiaoyi said.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Xiaoyi murmured, "The goal is very clear~ First of all, it's me and Lingnai, two people without background? But since the invitation has been sent, it would be too rude not to go~"

As he spoke, he dialed another number.

"Hello? King Kong, are you busy? Do you have a commission to do?"
