The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 476 Death Game Part 10 ()

Most exorcists will feel as if they have some mysterious connection with the place the moment they step into the game room. Then, they will see various chips with their names on them placed at the empty front desk. They may be game coins or small steel balls, depending on what game he is interested in.

Qian Xiaoyi was very curious about what Ashiya Yoshisuke's chips would look like later, but when he got to the front desk, he found that it was empty.

"So, old man, you and I are similar~" Qian Xiaoyi said: "Not interested in gambling."

Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "Well, because I have seen too many people who have gone astray, I don't have a good impression of this kind of game."

If they are not interested in these things at all, then naturally there will be no corresponding chips. It should be said that this game hall itself exists only to attract those degenerate gambler souls. If it is not for tricks, people like them who are completely uninterested cannot even touch the door here.

"Then, can you lend me some chips to play with?" Ashiya Yoshisuke asked, stretching out his hand.

"Of course, I'll give it to you." Qian Xiaoyi took out a piece of paper money for the dead and handed it to Ashiya Yoshisuke. It was the one trillion yuan from the Tiandi Bank.

Ashiya Yoshisuke looked at the exaggerated denominations and couldn't help but say, "If this kind of currency could really circulate in hell, it would have caused inflation a long time ago..."

Qian Xiaoyi shrugged and said with a smile: "There are even larger denominations of '∞'. These are nothing. Besides, these things represent people's thoughts, and the amount does not represent anything."

"That makes sense. Thank you. I will make good use of it." Ashiya Yoshisuke took the paper money into his arms. He could feel the difference between this thing and ordinary paper. It should be okay to use it to fool ghosts.

After collecting the paper money for the dead, Ashiya Yoshisuke asked, "So where should we go? This is my first time here."

"I don't know~" Qian Xiaoyi pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "How about going to check on the others first?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke nodded: "Okay."

Qian Xiaoyi, now a "ghost", floated to the wall, touched the bare wall, and said, "There should be another room behind here."

"Get up." Qian Xiaoyi made a hand gesture and tapped the wall, then dragged a door out of the wall as if wrestling with something.

Then, he opened the door, revealing the bustling crowd inside, and said, "Old man, please."

"Ah, thank you." Ashiya Yoshisuke walked in with him.

This room was the same as the one Qian Xiaoyi saw when he first came here. It was a hall filled with pachinko machines. Colorful special effects sounds kept ringing out, and people were shouting from time to time. There were not only some undead who kept pressing buttons, but also quite a few exorcists who had just come in.

Those people were walking around holding their own basins of small steel balls, watching with curiosity. A few of them couldn't wait any longer and found an empty machine to try it out.

Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "As expected, Pachinko is still popular. So many people come here."

"Yeah~" Ashiya Jisuke also said: "Since I was a child, this kind of game has been popular all over Japan~ I also played it for a while when I was young. The machines at that time were still very simple, and there was no such gorgeous special effects... I will try it too." He sat in front of a machine, took out the ghost money that Qian Xiaoyi gave him, and looked at it: "Hmm... Is this how it is used?"

Yoshisuke Ashiya flicked the paper money with his finger, and it immediately turned into a bunch of small steel balls that fell into the groove of the machine, filling the groove in an instant.

"Well, let's get started." Ashiya Kisuke said, "Ichiban Mumen, thank you for your help."

The white cloth shikigami disguised as a kimono on his body immediately expanded and turned into a shield, covering the area around the machine and becoming gradually transparent. However, Qian Xiaoyi could feel that a barrier that cut off breath had appeared around him, and no one noticed this place.

Qian Xiaoyi watched quietly behind Ashiya Yoshisuke.

"Then we should press this button, right?" Yoshisuke Ashiya pressed the launch button, and the small steel balls in the groove immediately rolled into the hole and began to shoot upward continuously, then fell into the pachinko board, colliding between the steel nails to make a noisy sound, and then rolled into the recovery port or the doubling port.

Looking at the dazzling sound and light effects in front of him, Yoshisuke Ashiya's expression did not fluctuate at all. This level of stimulation could not arouse his interest at all.

After playing for a while, Ashiya Kichisuke nodded: "Ah, as expected, these small steel balls are controlled by this machine, and I feel that it constantly emits those sounds and light effects to invade my mind and affect me. In this case, I also want to see what the true face of this machine is."

His hand gently stroked the small steel balls in the grooves. After a few seconds, the nine-character pattern of the Ashiya family appeared on all the small steel balls. They began to vibrate, and then turned around, revealing funny-looking faces.

Those faces opened their mouths and chattered loudly, making meaningless sounds.

"Is this also a Shikigami?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Ashiya Kichisuke nodded: "Just some insignificant little guys... Well, let's get started."

He pressed the launch button again, and the small steel balls with human faces were launched out with cheers, and then fell into the pachinko board, colliding between the steel nails.

But this time, none of the small steel balls fell into the recycling port, because they would choose the direction of falling by themselves. Without exception, all the small steel balls rushed into the winning port, making the machine shine with colorful winning light and extremely intense sound effects!

After entering the doubling mode, movable obstacles begin to appear at the bottom of the winning hole, hindering the probability of the small steel ball entering the hole.

But it was of no use. The small steel balls laughed and passed through the gap and fell accurately into the hole for the grand prize. A huge amount of small steel balls were continuously drawn out of the machine and fell into the grooves as prizes.

Yoshisuke Ashiya calmly pressed the launch button and continued to hit the jackpot, even causing the machine to tremble as if it was about to break down.

At this time, Qian Xiaoyi had already wrapped the ink line around his fingers and began to be alert, because he knew that Ashiya Yoshisuke was about to push the machine to its limit!
The machine finally couldn't help itself, and the frequency of its shaking reached the maximum amplitude, just like a washing machine that was not fixed properly. The violent shaking caused the small steel balls to fall out of the grooves.

Then, something strange happened. The entire machine split in the middle, opening a huge bloody mouth and biting towards Ashiya Yoshisuke.
