The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 454: The Great Battle of Exorcism (29)

boom!
A gunshot startled everyone in the lounge. King Kong, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes and shouted, "It's upstairs! Mr. Qian is in danger!"

Before he could rush out with the vajra, there was a sound of glass breaking. It seemed that something fell on the lawn outside, and there was a scream of pain.

Terao Yu hurried to the window, opened it and looked out, only to see a figure in a tuxedo with a limp, fleeing in panic into the forest behind the mansion.

"It's the butler!" Terao Yu said, "Do you want to chase him?"

"We are deep in the mountains here, and we are not familiar with the terrain. It would be very bad if he has set up some traps outside." King Kong said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."

"I understand." Terao Yu said.

And Guifuji Longguang said righteously: "Suzuna and I will stay here to watch over the others, you can go without worry."

Without saying much, the two came to Qian Xiaoyi's room on the second floor. The door had been opened. When they went in, they saw Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita standing by the window. There was an old hunting rifle on the ground, and the mirror beside the bed in the room was broken, with glass shards all over the floor.

The wind blew in through the broken window, blowing the curtains.

"What's going on?!" King Kong looked at the shotgun on the ground in surprise and asked, "Is the butler also an enemy?!"

"Well, it's obvious." Qian Xiaoyi walked around, tearing off the talismans posted in the room one by one, and said, "Although the exorcists headed by Gangli Kaidou were arranged by the Hundred Ghosts to maintain the nest, they don't stay here every day. The Hundred Ghosts will definitely need someone to live here for a long time, so the staff is highly suspected. Although I just tried to see if I could catch any fish, I didn't expect that such a tough guy would come."

If he had not set up talismans in the room in advance to create an artificial ghost domain to interfere with the intruder's vision, then the butler's shot just now would not have blown up the mirror, but himself. This is also the reason why Qian Xiaoyi dared to bring people here, because this place itself is a special place and it is very easy to create a ghost domain.

"It's a pity that he got away." Qian Xiaoyi looked out the window and said, "This guy was very decisive. The second floor was several meters high, and he actually jumped down like this."

If he delayed it a little longer, Qian Xiaoyi was sure that he could make him have a deeper connection with the ghost realm and keep him here. Unexpectedly, the other party missed his shot and simply threw down his shotgun and ran away. He even jumped out of the window and fled into the forest. It seemed that he had planned an escape route in advance.

"Maybe because there's a lawn outside?" Inuyama Heita said. Because Qian Xiaoyi had instructed him in advance, he did not sleep but was ready to provide support or call for help at any time. However, he was shocked when he heard the gunshots and he still feels a little scared.

King Kong breathed a sigh of relief: "At least Mr. Qian is okay... He even took out his shotgun. I remember it was hung on the wall of the entertainment room as a decoration. I didn't expect it could actually be used~"

Terao Yu said with lingering fear: "Even though Goriki Kaito and his gang have surrendered, that guy still wants to kill people. Is he crazy?"

"Sometimes people will do anything for money." Qian Xiaoyi said, "When we return to the city, the probability of this happening will be much smaller. This is one of the reasons why I spread the news about the Hundred Ghosts. Knowing this news, my colleagues will be more cautious and will not be killed directly after seeing something they shouldn't have seen. No one will suspect anything afterwards."

Terao Yu pondered: "Hundred Demons... It's really a scary organization~"

If things continue to develop in this way, who knows when it will really turn into the legendary "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons". By that time, the exorcists will be in trouble, because those selfish monsters will not leave anything that can threaten them around them.

After figuring out the connection, Terao Yu nodded and said, "After I go back, I will put the information about the Hundred Demons on the forum. This way, our intelligence network will suddenly become larger, and maybe we can find their traces."

King Kong asked: "Now that the butler has escaped, what should we do next?"

At this time, Suzuna ran up in a panic and said, "Oh no! The phone in the mansion has been cut off, and we can't contact Mr. Ashiya!" Kongo frowned and said, "Did they cut off the outside contact before the operation? That's abominable. In this case, we can only drive to a place with a signal to ask for help."

"If he even knew how to cut the telephone line, he would definitely not let the car go." Qian Xiaoyi was not so optimistic.

"Go down and have a look!" King Kong said with a bitter face, "I hope my car is okay."

When we got outside, we found that King Kong's car parked in the carport was also damaged just as Qian Xiaoyi had said.

"All the tires are punctured~" King Kong sighed, "This is troublesome."

Qian Xiaoyi asked a maid who came to watch the fun, "Excuse me, how long does it take to walk along the road from here to a place with signal?"

The maid said in a panic, "Eh? Let me think... maybe three or four hours? After all, it's in the mountains, and the road is a bit difficult to walk on..."

They returned to the lounge to discuss countermeasures. Terao Yu was a little irritable: "Ahhh~ This is so annoying! Shouldn't we cut off contact with the outside world at the beginning of the case? Why do we have to do this now? The criminal has already escaped!"

"Maybe it's to delay his escape?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "Or... even worse, maybe it's to call for reinforcements and forcefully attack us?"

Ling Na's face turned pale: "No way?"

Terao Yu said: "The other party has already fired a gun, what is impossible?"

"What do you say?" Qian Xiaoyi looked at Gangli Kaidou who was tied up.

Gangli Kaidou said with a sullen face: "I don't know, I'm not familiar with him."

Qian Xiaoyi looked at his bronze dagger on the table.

"It's true! I'm really unfamiliar with him!" Gorikito defended himself, "I didn't even know he was a member of the organization! I thought he was just a bribed mansion employee~"

King Kong said: "In this case, we can only walk to the signal area and call for help."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's the only way. King Kong, you've been busy all night. Take a few hours' rest first, and then we'll set off. We can just get outside before it gets dark."

Fortunately, the weather has turned clear today, otherwise they would really be trapped here like in a detective novel.

In the afternoon, when Qian Xiaoyi, Inuyama Heita and Kongo were ready to walk to the signal area for help, they heard the sound of a car outside.

"They can't really be enemies..." Suzuna's mind flashed with the image of a group of thugs with guns, and she was about to cry.
