The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 441: The Great Battle of Exorcism (18)

The atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became tense and fell into a brief silence.

"Are you kidding me?!" Gangli Kaito was furious: "You suspect that I am in league with those evil spirits? What reason do I have to do this? You are crazy, woman!"

Kito Ryuko also said: "Suzuna, what he said is true. No matter what, an exorcist can't help those evil spirits, right? We are here only to accept the commission. Isn't your accusation too serious?"

Suzuna remained silent. As a participant in the WTV incident, and Ashiya Kisuke's warning about the "Hundred Demons", she had to think in this direction. If it was just a simple haunting, she would definitely not be so suspicious of the other party. But if the target of this commission was her, Qian Xiaoyi, Kongo, Inuyama Heita, and the others who had participated in the subjugation of the Tanuki King...

That makes sense.

"Hey! Speak!" Gorikito took a step forward impatiently and asked, "What do you mean? How can you insult me ​​like this? As an exorcist, I have exorcised more evil spirits than you have ever seen! I am not on the same level as a guy like you who survives by deception, but you actually said that I am in cahoots with those evil spirits..."

Just as he was getting closer, King Kong stood in front of him, looking down at him.

"Hmm?" Gorikito frowned and said, "I recognize you. You're the big fool who couldn't even find the Yellow Spring House before? Your inspiration is so weak that it's a compliment to say you're an exorcist. You want to stop me?"

The flesh on King Kong's face twitched as he revealed a restrained smile: "I think it's better for everyone to talk nicely."

"Are you threatening me?" Gangli Kaidou said disdainfully, "Get out of the way. I just want to talk things over with that woman now. I don't have time to argue with you."

King Kong stood still, but the smile on his face disappeared and his muscles were tense.

Kidou Ryuko quickly walked between the two and said, "You two, that's enough! You are so out of control in front of the client! And Suzuna, stop saying those unfounded words."

Goriki Kaito glanced at the shivering housekeeper and several staff members in the corner, and finally did not provoke any more conflicts. Instead, he turned around with the dagger in his hand and said, "Forget it, I will go outside to exorcise the spirits myself. What happens to you is none of my business."

The atmosphere in the lounge became very bad, and just when Gorikito was about to open the door and leave the room, the door was opened first by someone from outside.

The twin brother Hatagaya walked in, noticing the strange atmosphere in the room, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Goriki Kaito said, "You were also repelled by those evil spirits that suddenly became stronger, right? But it doesn't matter, let me take care of the part you are responsible for."

One of the Hatagaya brothers said, "Well... although those evil spirits have indeed become stronger and have indeed made us feel the pressure, but exorcism... is no longer necessary."

Goriki Kaito was stunned and asked, "You have cleared the area of ​​evil spirits? You are really good, much better than some guys who call themselves exorcists."

The Hataya brothers looked strange, and one of them stammered, "It's not us..."

Another one then explained: "It's the psychic detective..."

"Psychic detective? Are you talking about the Chinese guy?" Gangli Kaidou asked, "What happened to him?"

When Lingna and Kongo heard the news about Qian Xiaoyi, they also pricked up their ears.

One of the Hatagaya brothers said, "Just when we felt the pressure, Mr. Qian appeared."

Another said: "At first I thought he was here to support us, but later I found out that he was not..." Another said: "His target has always been those evil spirits. He rushed into the group of evil spirits like a madman and started killing them."

Another said: "I don't know what those evil spirits did to provoke him. You should have seen the expression on his face at that time... If I still had doubts about his strength before, I definitely won't do that now."

One said, "He and his group have been killing evil spirits... He is the only one doing it, and he is very efficient. Then I saw that we couldn't help much, so I came back."

Upon hearing this, King Kong laughed and said, "As expected of Mr. Qian, what he said makes me want to get rid of the spirits with him."

Only Lingnai felt something was strange. From her point of view, Qian Xiaoyi had always been a man who planned before taking action. He would either not take action or make a fatal blow. So what was the purpose of his action?
After a while, the door was opened again, and Shinno Mariko and the priest's group came back.

"Uh... we have dealt with the evil spirits there." Shenneng Mariko said dryly, then turned to look at Suzuna and asked, "Um... Suzuna, did you really invite Mr. Qian?"

She was a little confused. How could a guy like Ling Nai be able to hire Qian Xiaoyi? Could it be that there was some unspeakable secret between the two of them?

One of the Hataya brothers asked in surprise, "He has come to your place?"

Pharmacist Chuanren adjusted his priest hat, looked at each other and said, "Yeah... Wait, judging from your tone, you guys are the same..."

Gui Teng Longguang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I've told you before that Brother Qian's strength is unquestionable. See? Now there's no need to argue about whether we should go out to support him. With him here, those evil spirits are nothing to be afraid of. We just need to wait for him to come back."

The bad atmosphere caused by the strong sense of crisis was instantly dispelled at this moment, but another atmosphere called "awkwardness" quietly spread in the room.

"Well..." the priest asked, "Isn't it a bad idea for us to stay here and let the psychic detective solve the problem alone? After all, we are the ones who accepted the commission..."

Goriki Kaito crossed his arms and snorted, "Even without him, I can still handle these things, it's just a little slower."

Ling Nai said sarcastically: "You also admit that you are not as good as others?"

Gangli Kaidou turned his head away, looked at the firewood in the fireplace, pretending not to hear.

One of the Hatagaya brothers said, "Well, since there is such a strong person helping us solve this accident, we should be happy. Anyway, we will not lose the commission fee. Everyone is happy. Congratulations, congratulations."

No one paid any attention to him, everyone had their own thoughts.

slap~
Suddenly there was a slight sound, and the light in the lounge became brighter. Everyone realized that it was electricity. So...

Sure enough, not long after, the door of the lounge was pushed open, the strange scene outside disappeared, and it returned to its ordinary Western-style house appearance. Qian Xiaoyi, with a somewhat tired expression on his face, walked in with Terao Yu and Inuyama Heita.

"The evil spirits have been repelled temporarily." Qian Xiaoyi said, "We went to the machine room and found that it was just a power outage... But we searched the entire mansion and didn't find the three victims... Is it four now? In short, there is no trace of their souls..."

Qian Xiaoyi's tone changed, staring at everyone in the room and saying, "This is not an accident. Someone is using the spiritual power of the victims to enhance the power of the evil spirits. This means..."

"There is a mole among us."
