The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 491 Death Game Part 25 ()

The news that Yoshisuke Ashiya was going to fight the monster organization quickly spread throughout the Japanese exorcist circle. Even a reclusive person like Hiroaki Ruriin learned about it from his friends.

"Fighting... a monster? Lord Ashiya?" Liuliyuan Hiroaki felt very strange. The old man hadn't taken action for a long time, right? Why did he choose this time?
Since the commission eighteen years ago, Ashiya Yoshisuke has seldom taken action. He only takes action when the situation is beyond the ability of others to handle it. So, does this have something to do with those "monsters"?
Ruriin Hiroaki couldn't understand why Ashiya Yoshisuke didn't inform him when he encountered such a thing. Normally, if he encountered any difficult commission, Ashiya Yoshisuke would notify him to solve it, because he had been practicing various training to hone his strength, and challenging difficult commissions was one of them.

"No reason~" Liuliyuan Hongming pondered: "Generally, it is not the turn of the old man to take action on commissions, so this time it must be very difficult, then why didn't he call me?"

After thinking it over, he decided to call and ask, and then he was told that the incident was actually a gambling game, which happened to be an area he was not good at.

"So that's it... It's actually a bet with monsters?" Liuliyuan Hongming's eyes lit up and he murmured, "Monsters... what?"

Come to think of it, the slit-mouthed woman seems to be a kind of monster... If I go and observe, maybe I can learn something from her.

So on the night of the competition, Liuliyuan Hongming sneaked to his daughter's door and asked, "Lily~Lily, are you asleep?"

The door was soon opened, and Liuliyuan Lily stood in front of the door in her pajamas, and asked with shining eyes: "Dad? What? Are you going out?"

There was a computer on the table behind her, and she seemed to be still playing a game, an online game. Greetings kept flashing on the chat page. It seemed that she had let her teammates down.

"Shh~" Liuliyuan Hongming said, "Keep your voice down, don't wake up your mother... Hurry up and change your clothes, and take me out. There is a very important event this time, and I have to go and see it."

"You can't let mom know?" Liuliyuan Lily asked, "Is it a commission?"

"No." Liuliyuan Hongming said, "It's an exchange activity for colleagues. You should just wait in the car like before. I will give you pocket money later."

Hearing that it wasn't to exorcise spirits, Liuliyuan Lily asked without much interest, "Where are we going?"

"Shinjuku, Kabukicho." Ruriin Hiroaki said.

Hearing this, Liuliyuan Lily opened her eyes wide, then turned her head towards the room deep in the corridor and wanted to shout: "Mom! Dad is going to the customs..."

But the moment she shouted, Liuliyuan Hongming covered her mouth and whispered in defense: "What? You misunderstood! How could I go to that kind of store! This is really a communication between colleagues!"

Liuliyuan Lily pried his hands apart and said contemptuously, "I don't believe it. You don't drink and you don't like to go to crowded places. What else do men think of going to such places? And you actually asked your daughter to send you to such a place. That's too bad! Just call a taxi yourself."

"It's really a communication between colleagues!" Liuliyuan Hiroaki said, "Remember that Ashiya grandfather? I want to go see him! Not to some custom shop! This time is really important, please, dad, I beg you, I will give you double the pocket money this week."

"Ashiya... that Onmyoji grandpa! The descendant of the famous Ashiya Doman?" Ruriin Yuri remembered that the old man would come here every year to pay tribute to her grandfather, so she asked excitedly, "Can I go with him?"

"No." Liuliyuan Hongming said, "Just park the car outside and wait for me to come back."

"Tsk~" Liuliyuan Lily said in disappointment: "We agreed to double the pocket money~"

After Ruriin Hiroaki agreed, she closed the door, quickly changed into casual clothes and came out with the car keys in her hand. For some reason, she suddenly looked very excited: "Let's go." The two sneaked out of the temple and drove Ruriin Hiroaki to the entrance of Kabukicho. He got out of the car and said to Ruriin Yuri in the car: "That's enough. Go somewhere else. This place is not suitable for children. Go to a cafe on another street and sit for a while. I'll call you when I get out."

Liuliyuan Lily said obediently: "Yes~"

Then he drove away.

Liuliyuan Hongming nodded. His daughter seemed to be particularly well-behaved today. It seemed that she had finally grown up.

He put on a hat that was so big that it covered his face and walked towards Kabukicho. His monk-like attire made him stand out among the crowd.

But what he didn't notice was that Liuliyuan Lily found a place nearby to park her car, then chuckled, turned her coat inside out, immediately changing the color and style, and then put on the prepared baseball cap, and a simple transformation was quickly completed.

Then, a stealthy figure walked into Kabukicho, lowered his head and followed the monk in front, and walked into an alley.

"I'm helping mom monitor whether you're cheating on her~" Lily Liuliyuan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

At the same time, Qian Xiaoyi also brought Inuyama Heita to Kabukicho.

As soon as he arrived, he called Zhang Chunfa.

"Brother Zhang, we've arrived. How are you now?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

In a hotel in Kabukicho, Zhang Chunfa sat on the bed and said with a smell of alcohol, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Today, that guy Chuandao Liangwu called me over and invited me to drink wine. If I hadn't known that something big was going to happen today, I would have gotten him drunk. By the way, I'm in Kabukicho now."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Well, he deliberately arranged you to be near here in order to strengthen your connection with that place."

"Are you really using me as a scapegoat?" Zhang Chunfa found it a little funny, but also felt a little sad. He didn't expect that after all his efforts for so many years, it would still be like this.

"Almost." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Today, many powerful exorcists have come here. If my guess is correct, no matter whether the bet is won or lost, the Red Devil will provoke a war in the end, let you stand in front as a shield, and then take the opportunity to escape. Of course, you are the 'shell'."

"This idiot! I wish I could kill him right now!" Zhang Chun said angrily, "I've long guessed that these people don't treat me as their own. If there's any danger, they'll use me as a scapegoat...

But I didn't expect it to be in this aspect. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even know how I died! If I can survive this time, I will tell you what happened back then. This is what we agreed on."

"I'll wait." Qian Xiaoyi looked at the streets of Kabukicho. There seemed to be a lot more idle hooligans here tonight. Then he said, "It should be about time. You should have a good rest. We'll see you over there."

"No problem." Zhang Chunfa hung up the phone.

Qian Xiaoyi put away his things and said to Inuyama Heita, "Let's go. It's time for us to go over there."
