The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 489 Death Game Part 23 ()

The next evening, at the Hoshiba family in the suburbs of Tokyo, Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita got off their motorcycles and walked inside.

This time they did not go to the warehouse where the store was located, but went directly to his family's dojo.

The Xingchang family's dojo is not small. The wooden floor inside is wiped very clean and covered with a layer of wax to make it shiny. When they arrived, there were already dozens of people sitting in the dojo.

"Oh, Mr. Qian is here too!" King Kong greeted loudly, "I knew Mr. Qian would be here for this event."

Everyone looked towards the door. Xing Changrang, who was in front of the crowd, nodded and said, "You came at the right time. We have just started the discussion. Grab a cushion and sit down."

Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita found a random spot and sat cross-legged under the gaze of others. Qian Xiaoyi asked, "So, have you decided on the candidates for the battle?"

He looked around and saw many familiar faces, such as Terao Yu and Kongo. It can be seen that most of the people here want to participate in this gambling game, perhaps simply to stand up for justice, or perhaps to make a name for themselves in one fell swoop.

"Everyone is very enthusiastic." Xingba said, "But what we want to discuss now is not this, but the intelligence of the opponent."

"Oh? Have you found out anything?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Xingchang Rang nodded: "It has been confirmed. According to the information provided by some friends in the underworld, the guy who came out to intimidate us that night should belong to a local underworld organization called the [Chuandao Society]."

King Kong sighed, "No wonder I always had a sense of déjà vu that day, as if I was not facing a ghost, but a group of gangsters~"

A bald exorcist asked, "So why are the monsters in the spirit world related to the Yakuza in the real world? Isn't this too weird?"

Another exorcist said, "I heard that the great demons in ancient times had many human bandits under their command. This should be similar, right?"

"According to what you said, could it be that the leader of that gang is a monster?"

"A monster as a leader? This is really big news~ I've never seen anything like this before."

"Before this, you had never even seen a monster, right? Nowadays, there are very few psychics who have seen monsters. At most, they have seen one or two evil spirits."

"I wonder if after defeating him, he will reveal his true form in the real world, or just slip away to the spirit world."

"It could also be hell. I wonder how those monsters came to the human world from the spirit world."

Just as everyone started discussing the topic of monsters, causing the entire dojo to buzz with discussion, Xingba said, "This may be different from what you imagine."

Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Xingchangrang.

"According to reliable intelligence..." Xingchang subconsciously glanced at Qian Xiaoyi who was wandering in the sky, and then continued: "Those monsters are man-made, that is, new monsters created by the [Hundred Ghosts] organization. Those monsters were originally human, but because of some operations of the Hundred Ghosts, they turned into monsters."

This information shocked everyone. Except for a few people who already knew about it, dozens of other people were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

"Turning people into monsters... this is probably something that only happens in legends, right?"

"Aren't monsters just things from legends? I don't think that's strange."

"No, no, no, it's weird no matter how you think about it. If that's the case, then we're not just facing monsters, but also those human groups?" Xing Changrang snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, that's what I'm saying. So the same goes for the bet with the other party in a few days. I know everyone wants to contribute, but if you don't have the confidence to face the revenge of the Yakuza afterwards, then don't participate."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately backed down and showed cowardly looks.

Qian Xiaoyi saw all of this. Although he had the connections of Mr. Ashiya as a guarantee, others did not know that if these people were afraid of the other party's power, it would be better for them to withdraw early. After all, no one could guarantee whether such a person would betray this side. Xingchangrang's purpose was to eliminate those unstable factors before the gambling began.

"If that's the case... I'm sorry, I have family to support me. I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

"Me too. I originally thought that I was only here to subdue monsters..."

"I remembered that I have something to do at home..."

"I'll definitely help next time. I'm sorry, Mr. Hoshiba."

After hearing the news, those exorcists who were originally full of fighting spirit chose to leave one after another. In the end, most of the exorcists in the dojo had left, leaving only a dozen or so.

Most of these people have connections, know some brothers in the underworld and are not afraid of retaliation, or they are simply loners who want to take a chance.

No matter what their situation is, the fact that so many people dare to face the Hundred Ghosts Organization head-on was a little beyond Qian Xiaoyi's expectations. It seems that there are still many people who can see the current situation clearly.

"Humph, a bunch of cowards." Terao Yu sneered disdainfully, and then said to Gui Teng Longguang beside him: "Don't you agree, Master Gui Teng? We are the only ones left to rely on."

Gui Teng Long Guang smiled without saying anything.

But Qian Xiaoyi, who was not far away, could clearly see the cold sweat slowly oozing out of Gui Teng Longguang's head.

"This guy is pretending to be calm..." Qian Xiaoyi was a little amused.

He knew that Kidou Ryumitsu stayed simply because he was afraid and wanted to curry favor with the powerful, so he wanted to tie himself to the forces of Ashiya Yoshisuke. After all, he was also involved in the last attack on Fujiyoshi's mansion, so he was not sure whether he had been regarded as a companion of Qian Xiaoyi and the others by the Hundred Demons.

So instead of worrying, it’s better to join a camp and feel at ease.

As for Terao Yu... Qian Xiaoyi felt that this guy was just a middle school fool and probably wouldn't think of this.

Xingchang Ran didn't care about so many people leaving. It should be said that he had expected it. After those weak-willed people left, he nodded and said, "No one should be leaving, right? Then let's sit closer and start talking about how to deal with the enemy."

Everyone formed a circle.

"Let's continue discussing intelligence, starting with the other party's leader." Hoshiba Rang said, "According to the intelligence my friends on the road helped me collect, the leader of the Chuando Society is called Chuando Nobuo, and he and his younger brother Chuando Ryotake are collectively known as the [Evil Oni Brothers]. The elder brother is the [Blue Oni], and the younger brother is the [Red Oni]."

"Red Ghost?!" King Kong asked, "Does this mean that the guy we saw that day was actually my younger brother?"

"That's right." Xingchang Rang said, "The Chuan Dao Society's duty is to collect and urge debts for the superior organization. It manages many underground casinos, custom shops, and clubs. According to the characteristics of the Golden God game hall collecting gamblers' souls, we can be sure that he should have the souls of many gambling and game masters.

Therefore, if we follow their rules, as exorcists, we may not have such a big advantage. Choosing which items to use as rules is the most important thing. Mr. Ashiya has given me the responsibility of this aspect, and I would like to hear everyone's opinions. "
