The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 570: Battle for Ajian (11)

Tokyo was shrouded in darkness, with neon lights becoming the only theme color. Pedestrians on the street walked hurriedly, and no one paid attention to the homeless man walking on the road who was simply dressed in a baseball cap and a mask. It should be said that no one wanted to get into trouble, because this guy was holding a stick wrapped in cloth in his arms, mumbling something constantly, and staggering, looking like a mental patient.

This guy, who was obviously mentally ill, stared at a person in front of him and said vaguely:

"That's him... Did you see it? I can feel that guy is an exorcist... Quick, pull me out and kill him!"

"No! Really not. This is a busy city and we'll be arrested by the police! Please, just bear with it for a while..."

"I'm going to kill him... Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill..."

"We have been following him for a long time. Please bear with it for a while. Really..."

I don’t know how long I walked, but the target finally turned into an empty alley.

"Go in quickly! Kill him!" the homeless man roared.

After the homeless man followed the man in, he didn't expect that the man stopped at the end of the alley, turned around and looked at him.

"The evil spirit that has been following me for a long time, whose strong resentment can be smelled even from more than ten meters away, dares to target me?"

The exorcist turned around, took out a talisman, licked his lips, and said, "Interesting, a mere evil spirit dares to attack a master called [Ghost Hunter], you are really brave, let me exorcise you... Wait, what do you have?!"

A cold light flashed, and the tramp raised his head with a crazy look in his eyes.

"My name is Qing Gui, and I am a vengeful evil ghost that crawled out of hell... Die, exorcist!"

A scream echoed in the alley, but no one heard it over the noise of traffic on the street outside. Even if they did, no one would come over to check and cause trouble.

After a while, the tramp came out with a long knife wrapped in cloth in his arms, muttering something as he walked.

"Don't do this again next time! You are too impulsive! We have to go to another place. We can't stay here anymore..."

"I understand, I understand, I know we want to kill the exorcist...but we can't do anything rash..."

"Next time, after you confirm your target, we must observe for a while before deciding whether to take action..."

He kept muttering to himself and was lost in the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

……

A few days later in the morning, Qian Xiaoyi looked at his laptop with a frown on his face.

[The Edo period sword-killing demon reappears?! Two dead bodies have appeared! ]

This news has been the headlines in recent days. It is about two deaths in the Tokyo metropolitan area. There is almost no intersection between them, and the areas of death are far apart. If it were not for the same way of death, they might be treated as unrelated homicides, but the problem is that they were both killed with the same weapon.

Through the autopsy and clues such as investigating the cameras, it was inferred that the murderer who killed them was the same person.

What is even more shocking is that the weapon used to kill them was actually a samurai sword, as evidenced by trace detection! This reminds people of the ancient samurai who used passers-by to test their swords. However, the police later found that the two deceased were in the profession of exorcists, so the media speculated that the murderer might be a victim deceived by a psychic medium, who was defrauded of all his property and had nowhere else to go, so he chose revenge. Public opinion on the Internet also turned to the murderer, and many people began to share their family members’ experiences of being defrauded by so-called psychics.

The police have now begun investigating the customers of the two victims in an attempt to find the murderer.

"Samurai sword?" Qian Xiaoyi thought worriedly, "If it's a counterattack by the Hundred Ghosts..."

"Brother Yi!" Inuyama Heita hurried over with a newspaper and said, "News! Have you read the news? I just saw it when I was jogging in the morning. Could it be..."

"I don't know, but it's possible." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Judging from this man's modus operandi, he only attacks in remote places. You should be careful not to run to places where there are no people. Go home quickly after dark, understand? But don't worry too much. If it's really the knife of Chuan Dao Xinxiong, Ajian will notice it."

"Eh? Me?" Ken trembled. "It's too scary that such a thing actually happened... But I know. I will protect the Inuyama clan well."

Seeing that Ken was so scared but still promised, Inuyama Heita couldn't help but be moved: "Mr. Ken..."

"In exchange, I want to buy a new action figure!" Ajian said, taking advantage of the situation.

"Ah, we're going to miss the train." Inuyama Heita pretended to check his phone and said, "I'm going to school first, Brother Otoko!"

Then he hurriedly left the office.

"Hey, there's still plenty of time." Ah Jian chased after him: "Don't pretend you didn't hear me!"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and continued to browse the web. In the exorcist forum, this topic was also a hot topic and everyone was worried.

At this time, he received an invitation for a video conference call.

Qian Xiaoyi took a look at the invitation sent by Ashiya Yoshisuke, connected to the computer, and then found that in addition to him, many other acquaintances had also arrived.

People like Suzuna, Kongo, Ruriin Hiroaki, Anna, Terao Iku, Kidou Ryuko, the bald exorcist (Qian Xiaoyi forgot his name) and others are all there. They are all colleagues who have directly participated in the subjugation of monsters before, and are the most likely targets of the revenge of the Hundred Demons.

"Qian Jun is here too." Ashiya Jisuke nodded with a serious expression, "Except for Rang Jun's absence, he seems to be studying something recently and is practicing in seclusion. I will tell him the results of the meeting later."

Anna sneered: "Practice? That pervert, I think he is studying something weird, right? Let me do some divination..."

She seemed to have drawn a few cards from the deck, then her expression changed slightly. She looked at the screen silently and said nothing.

Qian Xiaoyi always felt that the woman was looking at him just now, but he had no evidence.

He changed the subject and asked, "Miss Anna, long time no see. I didn't see you in Huangquan House before... Why does the sky over there look a little strange? At first I thought you had drawn the curtains."

Anna smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qian. Recently, due to the planning of the TV program team, I am currently recording a special program overseas, preparing to explore the origin of Tarot cards."

Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed in his heart, he originally wanted to drag this girl with a keen sense of smell into the water and ask her for help, but he didn't expect that she ran directly abroad. It seemed that she must have sensed danger.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in private." Ashiya Yoshisuke said seriously: "What we are going to discuss next is a very serious topic... How should we face the revenge of the Hundred Demons?"
