The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 482 Death Game Part 16 ()

The red ghost put his hands in his pockets, looked at the various shikigami opposite him, and sighed: "It's really scary~ This power is terrifying just by looking at it. Should I say that he is indeed worthy of being the descendant of the great Onmyoji?"

Ashiya Kichisuke said, "You monster, you don't look scared, so you are very confident in your own strength and don't even take me seriously?"

"No, no, no~ This is a huge misunderstanding~" Chigui waved his hands and said, "How could it be? I am not the kind of simple-minded fighter who can bravely move forward no matter what enemy I face as long as I have the spirit of 'chivalrous' in my heart. I am a pacifist and I will not have a conflict if I can avoid it."

Ashiya Yoshisuke sneered, "A pacifist's evil ghost? This is the first time I've heard of it in all my years. So, Mr. Red Ghost, a pacifist, since you don't want to cause a conflict, could you please let those people go?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" The red ghost shook his finger and said, "Lord Ashiya~ I don't intend to listen to you. Only a fool would give back so many chips for nothing."

Ashiya Jisuke snorted coldly: "Then there is no need to say more. We have talked with a monster like you for so long, and we have done our best. I have already given you a chance. From now on, let's speak with strength."

He raised his hand. Both the Shikigami and the exorcists behind him were ready for a big fight. With a backbone, the exorcists were full of confidence and high morale. They would launch a charge as soon as Ashiya Yoshisuke gave the order.

"Wait!" Chigui waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Let him finish his words. You are such a grumpy old man... Let me confirm one last time. Do you really want to go to war with us? Even if you have to pay a price afterwards, is that okay?"

"Price?" Ashiya Yoshisuke said disdainfully, "You monsters of your level also want me to pay a price?"

"Here, of course, we can't fight against a great Onmyoji like you, but ah, that's not what I meant..." The red ghost rubbed his hands, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "Although we are not a very large organization, we can still do some trivial things. Since Lord Ashiya can find this place, then I believe you have already understood our true identity, right?"

Ashiya Jisuke stared at the red ghost: "Tell me clearly, what tricks are you playing."

The red ghost spread his hands and said, "Nothing. Speaking of which, some of my subordinates are very energetic, so it is normal for them to wander around the streets when they can't sleep at night, right? They get drunk and go crazy. When they see some weird-dressed guys appearing on the street, they beat them up to vent their depressed mood. In the end, they accidentally get into an accident. It is also reasonable, right? Now, they should be around here."

In reality, on the brightly lit streets of Kabukicho, a group of thugs with baseball bats and crowbars appeared at some point. They were scattered on the main traffic arteries of the street, staring at every passerby with ferocious eyes, and asking soul-searching questions such as "What are you looking at?" from time to time, making people want to avoid them as much as possible.

"Interesting." Ashiya Jisuke looked at the red devil and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not." The red ghost smiled and said, "You are the descendant of the legendary Ashiya Doman. There are countless important people who have friendships with you. I don't even have the qualifications to meet them, so how dare I offend you? If any of my men dare to offend you, I will immediately ask them to cut off their little fingers and send them an apology, but..."

The red demon looked at the exorcists around Ashiya Yoshisuke and said, "Do these people around you have the protection of those big shots like you? You know, we may appear around them at any time and any place, and then do some 'harmless' pranks, and I don't know what serious consequences these pranks may lead to..."

"You're just a monster, what are you talking about?" "If you have the guts, show up in the real world! You're just a monster, I'll beat you to death!"

"Come on, monsters! Let me show you how powerful an exorcist is!"

"Lord Ashiya, give the order! I can't wait to meet these brazen monsters."

Except for the spiritualists who did not understand the red demon's hidden meaning and started shouting, Ashiya Yoshisuke frowned and said nothing.

The red ghost turned a deaf ear to the words of those shouting guys. He just looked at Ashiya Jisuke and asked: "You should know that low-level beings like me are at best just doing odd jobs for the organization. Even if you eliminate us, it will only cause more trouble. So I am very curious, what is the reason for the conflict between us?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "Reason? Isn't it obvious? According to your words, you have crossed the line. This kind of thing should be very common in your place, right? An organization reaches out to a place that does not belong to it to reap benefits, and then the local organization comes out to stop it... This is the situation now. You have stretched your hands too far. The spirit world does not belong to you."

"I see!" The red ghost seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "In that case, it was really us who were disrespectful first. This is indeed a serious matter!"

Then the red ghost showed a helpless expression: "But we can't make the decision on this matter. It's not my intention. Please forgive me, Lord Ashiya. But..."

Everyone thought he was going to give in, but unexpectedly, the red ghost said something that made the exorcists furious.

"Let's put things in perspective. We'll deal with you guys causing trouble in my place separately." The red ghost said, "You stole so many chips. If you can't give me an explanation, I won't be able to report to my superiors. After all, this is my responsibility, so you must compensate me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the exorcists were furious and took out all kinds of magical tools, ready to teach these hateful monsters a lesson.

"Quiet!" Ashiya Yoshisuke said softly, but everyone heard it clearly. They all shut their mouths involuntarily. The whole place suddenly became silent, and at the same time full of confusion. They didn't understand why Ashiya Yoshisuke didn't just lead them to fight directly.

"Compensation is impossible." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "I have shown great restraint by not destroying you immediately."

"Great, it seems that both of us have reasons not to back down~" The red ghost said with a smile: "Then let's follow the rules of the underworld. The conflict should be resolved in the same way as what happened. Since it was caused by cheating in the game hall, I suggest that we use games to decide the winner, how about it?"

He stared at Ashiya Jisuke and said, "Use the game."
