The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 490 Death Game Part 24 ()

"Anyway, let's talk about what everyone thinks first." Xingchang Rang said, "Since it's a gambling game, then the project must be related to the games in the game hall. How to use our own abilities to win the gambling game is worth studying."

"Tampering with the gambling equipment?"

"Why not use a sleight of hand? I have used this trick to fool ghosts many times before."

"That's impossible this time, right? A move that's too obvious will definitely be discovered, and then you'll be declared the loser."

Listening to the discussion of others, Inuyama Heita sighed quietly: "Because it is a special rule, personal strength is not very important this time?"

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Why not just call a few of the strongest people to participate? Why go to so much trouble? That's why the enemy chose to decide the outcome through this kind of gambling. This way, they don't have to fight us head-on."

At this time, Xingchang Rang asked: "Mr. Qian, what do you think of this gambling project?"

"Me?" Qian Xiaoyi felt amused when he saw that everyone else's eyes were focused on him. Star Field meant that this guy didn't want him to be lazy.

So he could only say, "Well... I don't know much about gambling, and I've never played anything too advanced before. I didn't even see pachinko until I came to Japan. If you want me to exorcise spirits and subdue monsters, I'm good at that, but if you ask me to cheat in gambling... I'm not very good at it."

After hearing his answer, the others were not surprised. Someone who is good at exorcism would not necessarily know these unconventional methods.

But Xingchangrang shook his head secretly. He didn't quite understand what Qian Xiaoyi was trying to do. It was obviously him who facilitated this situation, but he didn't help at all. Instead, he seemed to be doing nothing. Anyway, he didn't believe that this guy didn't have a way to win, and he must be hiding something.

"But Mr. Qian." Xingchang said helplessly: "Since you have already stayed, you must have your own ideas, right? Are you here to watch the show?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Of course not. Even for a new agency like ours, we want to help everyone."

Xingchang felt a little relieved, but Qian Xiaoyi's next words left him speechless again.

"So, I sent a capable employee from my office to fight." Qian Xiaoyi patted Inuyama Heita on the shoulder and said, "I believe he will be able to help everyone when the time comes."

Inuyama Heita's body stiffened and he looked at Qian Xiaoyi with resentful eyes. He could not remember how many times Qian Xiaoyi had pushed him to the front to block the bullet.

He sighed. Although he didn't know what Qian Xiaoyi's plan was, judging from past experience, it must have been a well-thought-out plan, so he still accepted this unpleasant fact.

Everyone withdrew their gaze, skipped over this little episode, and continued to discuss the gambling project and how to cheat.

After discussing for a long time, everyone summarized a lot of game types and was now engaged in a fierce debate on cheating techniques. Xingchang had already filled the whiteboard beside him with various words, while Qian Xiaoyi had already run to the courtyard outside to get some fresh air, with no intention of joining the discussion at all.

Let everyone discuss first, Xingchang came to Qian Xiaoyi outside and asked: "I say, what do you think? You don't say anything, are you here to drink tea for free?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "I see everyone is having a good discussion. Many of the cheating methods are beyond my imagination, so even if I don't say anything, they can still handle it. In this regard, my method may not be better than theirs."

Xingchang thought about it and realized that those who could make a name for themselves in a place like Tokyo all had one or two unique skills. They might not be absolutely amazing, but they always had something that other schools didn't have.

So he asked, "What about Heitaro? Why do you want him to replace you? It's not that I don't believe in his ability, but he is definitely not as good as you, right?"

"I'll have other things to do then." Qian Xiaoyi said. "What did you say?!" Xingchang's eyes lit up. This guy really had other ideas. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you find any new information?"

Qian Xiaoyi glanced inside the room. Everyone else was still discussing how to win the bet and hadn't noticed their conversation. He continued, "Of course there is. But don't forget, the bet was proposed by the other party, so if they are not so arrogant that they can definitely win, then they will definitely consider the possibility of losing."

Xingba Rang leaned against the pillar in the corridor with his arms folded, and said, "You mean... they have already prepared for what to do after losing, and it doesn't even matter if they lose?"

"That's what I think." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Xingchang Rang was not too surprised by this situation. If the enemy was not cunning, they would not have to go to such great lengths to deal with it. Then he asked, "So you are going to deal with this matter at that time? Do you need help?"

"Not necessary for now." Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the people in the room again and said, "And the fewer people who know about this, the better."

"Okay~" Xingchang Rang pouted: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me~"

Just as they were about to continue their conversation, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the room. The two looked at each other and then walked into the dojo to see what was going on.

"Your cheating method is really too old-fashioned! Wouldn't it be discovered immediately?"

"What do you know? It's all about technique! The simpler the method, the faster the technique, the more effective it will be! Haven't you ever seen a magic show? The most important thing is to attract other people's attention and then replace the original with the original."

"We are not facing ordinary enemies now! We are facing a group of monsters! Changing cards is too cliché."

"Come on, let's have a competition! Let's see who has better skills!"

"Okay, come on!"

It turned out that the two exorcists who were very confident in their skills had a disagreement on the cheating method, and they all turned to look at Xingchangrang.

"Mr. Hoshiba, do you have any playing cards here? We want to have a gambling showdown!"

"I'll show this guy what real cheating is!"

Xingchang Rang had a headache. He finally understood why Mr. Ashiya threw these people to him. These exorcists had been in contact with strange things for many years, so their personalities seemed a little... strange. The two guys in front of him were like two children, quarreling over some trivial things.

"Poker cards, right? I see. I'll get them." Xing Changran said, "By the way, there are other types of gambling. If you want to experiment, try them now."

"Is there mahjong here? I have an idea."

"Where are the dice?"

The atmosphere in the dojo gradually became heated, and it looked like some kind of underground black casino, with everyone enthusiastically showing off their cheating skills and techniques.

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head. There was nothing for him to do here anymore, so he called Inuyama Heita, said hello to Hoshiba Rang, and left.
