The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 483 Death Game Part 17 ()

"Game?" Ashiya Yoshisuke asked.

"That's right." The red ghost smiled and said, "Since our losses were caused by you cheating in the casino, of course we have to use this method to resolve the dispute. If you win, then I will let you do whatever you want, but if you lose, you can't attack us. Of course, we won't use any despicable means to coerce you in this world. How about non-aggression?"

Ashiya Jisuke said: "It sounds like a good idea. No matter what, it will benefit us. But...what if I don't agree?"

"Then we will do everything in our power to cause you trouble." The red ghost's tone became sinister, and he said: "You know what kind of trouble I mean. Even if you destroy this place, there will still be people who will avenge us. We are not the kind of vengeful spirits that will be destroyed without any consequences. If you want to deal with us, you will have to pay a price."

Ashiya Jisuke asked: "How do I know if you will abide by the rules after I win?"

The red ghost said: "Well~ Actually we don't really care about this place. Our focus is on another place. If it weren't for the order from above, I wouldn't want to care about this place~ If you win, you can destroy this game hall. There will be no such place in the future. Is that okay?"

"Okay." Ashiya Jisuke asked, "Tell me about the game you mentioned. How does it work?"

Chigui said: "The time is set for one week later. Both sides will send out the vanguard, the second vanguard, the backbone, and the general to play four games. The general will get two points if he wins, and one point if he wins in other positions. The side that gets three points first will be the winner."

"What type of game is it?" Ashiya Yoshisuke asked.

Chigui said, "Any game in a game hall or casino is fine. Toss a coin before the game starts. The party that guesses correctly gets to decide the rules for the first game. When one party wins a game, the loser gets to choose the game for the next game. How about that?"

"That sounds fair," Ashiya Yoshisuke said calmly.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus." Chigui breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Then to show our sincerity, we will return these cheating guests to you first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts around him opened their mouths wide and vomited out the exorcists trapped inside with a "wow" sound, making them fall to the floor of the Yellow Spring House.

"Damn monster!"

"Finally out?"

The exorcists who came out were still on alert, but they didn't seem to have suffered any injuries. It seemed that they were just trapped for a while.

The red ghost said: "Do you see our sincerity? Lord Ashiya, although it is presumptuous to say this, you should be glad that you met us. In the organization, we may be the most disciplined group."

Qian Xiaoyi was listening to this from behind the crowd, he snorted coldly and murmured, "I guess they only follow the rules when they meet an opponent they are wary of, right?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "I see your sincerity. So let's do this, I hope you can keep your promise."

"We always keep our words." The red ghost said with a smile, "Otherwise there is no way we can survive in the underworld, right? See you in a week, Lord Ashiya." The red ghost stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The ground on the casino side cracked like the broken ice in Antarctica, separated from the ground of Huangquan House, and then gradually moved away until it disappeared.

"They actually agreed?" An exorcist touched his head and asked, "Why don't we go to war with those monsters? They are obviously scared, right? We have Ashiya-sama here, so we can easily destroy them, right?"

Everyone looked at Ashiya Kichisuke, but the old man just said calmly: "That's enough for today, please leave here."

Everyone was completely confused and had no idea what was going on, nor did they know what Ashiya Yoshisuke was worried about. However, due to Ashiya Yoshisuke's reputation and the covetous shikigami around him, no one dared to say anything. They could only say hello politely and slip away, but there were still two people who did not leave immediately.

"This is getting interesting." Xingchang Rang stroked his chin and said, "Are we going to decide the winner through games? What do you think, old man?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke waved his hands, letting the shikigami retreat, and then said with a headache: "No, I don't have any idea at all. I'm too old and I don't have any idea about those things... I was too hasty this time and was not prepared, so those monsters seized the opportunity and threatened me with other people, forcing me to agree to this bet..."

Xingchang Rang glanced at Qian Xiaoyi who was not involved in the matter and said, "Yes, if we had known the intelligence of these monsters earlier and had more time to prepare and investigate, we wouldn't have to be so passive. We could have launched an attack when the other party was caught off guard."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I think this is an opportunity to get to know each other well."

Ashiya Kisuke and Hoshiba Jean looked at him.

Qian Xiaoyi explained: "They are just like us. They are completely unprepared for this kind of thing, so they proposed this option in order to delay time. They are also afraid, otherwise they would not threaten us with such a way of mutual destruction. From this we can clearly see that the other party is bluffing. That guy is not as relaxed as he said."

"I know." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "That's why I agreed to it. This is also a window left for us. I have a rough guess about their identities. Next, I will smooth out the relationship and use the power of other forces to prevent them from making any rash moves. I don't believe that these people will be honest and do nothing during this period of time."

"A week?" Xingchang Rang said, "We don't have much time left. Anyway, we will help collect intelligence. Their flaws have been exposed. If we know the identity of the enemy, things will be much easier. It's better than having no target at all. You will help too, right? Mr. Qian?"

Xingchang emphasized the pronunciation of the word "help".

Qian Xiaoyi shrugged and said, "Of course. It is our duty to deal with this evil heresy. As long as I gather any information, I will tell everyone as soon as possible."

"Well, thank you." Ashiya Jisuke said: "That's it, please leave here, I want to have a good rest and recharge my energy."

"Oh, have a good rest, General." Qian Xiaoyi joked, "The next gambling game will depend on you."

After calling Inuyama Taira who was waiting at the door, they left Huangquan House.
