The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 594 Eye of the Storm (5)

Inside Huangquan Izakaya, King Kong held a glass of wine and asked in surprise, "What did you say? Mr. Qian plans to deal with the murderer alone?"

They were sitting in a booth in the pub. There were already quite a few shadows on the other seats. Those were all guests of the pub. They were all the same in the eyes of others. Their voices could not be heard outside the booth, so there was no need to worry about the content of their conversation leaking out.

"Hmm..." Inuyama Heita said, "Brother O seems to have put a lot of pressure on himself recently. His mental state is a little bit off. I have never seen him like this before. Although he concealed it very well, I can feel that he is very uneasy."

"That Mr. Qian is actually uneasy?" King Kong said in surprise, "Impossible? Even when fighting against the big raccoon cat before, Mr. Qian was very calm. To be honest, when facing that big monster, even I felt scared, because no matter how we attacked, the opponent would not die, but Mr. Qian turned the situation around calmly... That powerful exorcist is actually uneasy, what does he know? The enemy this time doesn't seem to be very strong, right?"

"I think it's probably because he cares about the victims killed by the enemy." Inuyama Heita said, "Although I have only known Brother Oto for more than a year, I know that Brother Oto is actually a very responsible person, especially in some areas he is very stubborn. He can't stand the mistakes caused by his own mistakes, so he wants to make up for it alone. This has happened before."

"Is that so?" King Kong touched his head and sighed, "But if it's Mr. Qian, maybe he has already thought of a solution, right? In this case, if we rashly join in, will it affect his plan? You know, good intentions leading to bad results are not uncommon in the industry."

Inuyama Heita understood what Kongo was talking about. In many cases in the industry, some employers, out of their assumed kindness, did not listen to the exorcist's instructions, leading to tragedies, such as tearing off the talisman in advance, seeing illusions and believing in evil spirits.

King Kong said: "Although I also want to compete with the murderer, but if this is Mr. Qian's plan, shouldn't we tell him in advance? To avoid unnecessary situations. If he needs it, he should ask us for help, right?"

"The situation is different this time." Inuyama Heita shook his head and said, "He probably did this because he was afraid that new victims would appear again... In the past, when he asked us for help, he would make a plan to ensure that everything would go well before taking action. But this time, he didn't ask anyone for help... In other words, this time the situation might not even be under his control, so he wanted to do it alone because he didn't want to implicate others."

"Mr. Qian..." King Kong frowned, "Is the enemy this time really that difficult?"

"If you ask me, yes, there is." Ashiya Yoshisuke pulled back the invisible curtain, walked in with a plate of grilled chicken skewers and a wine flask, and placed them on the table: "Sorry for the wait, here's the secret grilled chicken skewers of Yomiuri."

"Ashiya-sama!"

"Mr. Ashiya."

Seeing the person coming, Kongo and Inuyama Heita immediately stood up.

"Sit down, I'm just a useless old man." Ashiya Yoshisuke waved his hand and sat down. He conjured a wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank by himself, saying, "Is that so? That's why he took the initiative to be interviewed by reporters and appeared on TV, so that the enemy could see him?"

Kongo and Inuyama Heita looked at each other and sat down. Inuyama Heita asked cautiously, "Mr. Ashiya, didn't Brother Otsu discuss with you how to deal with that murderer?"

"Of course we have discussed it." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "But even for me, there is no good solution at the moment. The enemy is very cunning. We can only wait for the enemy to attack again, and then we can find the opponent's flaw. I have always wondered why Mr. Qian was so impatient to use himself as bait. Now I understand... This kid, it turns out that he took those deaths as his responsibility?" "What does this have to do with Mr. Qian!" King Kong hugged his chest and shook his head and said, "It's not him who killed those people! It was obviously done by the Hundred Ghosts. Those guys are extremely harmful monsters! If we have to count the responsibilities, of course we have to count those bastards!"

Ashiya Jisuke took a sip of wine and said, "That's true, but... Qian Jun may think that if it weren't for him, Baigui wouldn't be so radical, right?"

"Huh? Why?" King Kong was a little curious.

"Maybe Inuyama-kun knows about this." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, and Kongo looked at Inuyama Heita with wide eyes.

Inuyama Heita sighed and said, "...In fact, it was Brother O who first discovered the existence of the Hundred Demons. We also facilitated the gambling game with the Golden God. The purpose was to let everyone know the existence of the Hundred Demons organization and unite them."

"Isn't this a good thing?" King Kong said, "If it weren't for Mr. Qian, we wouldn't have been able to find those guys. If we wait until the monsters of Baigui grow stronger, it will be too late."

"I think so too, but..." Inuyama Heita said, "The other party's methods are too despicable. No one thought that those guys would take such a revenge method."

And there is another thing, that is, Inuyama Heita knows that Qian Xiaoyi is consciously targeting Baigui, and perhaps he has some other goals. This may be the main reason why Qian Xiaoyi is under so much pressure, but Qian Xiaoyi just bears it silently and does not tell anyone. He must have some unspeakable secret.

"Since Brother Yi has decided to go alone, he will definitely not change his mind." Inuyama Heita said, "So I came here alone this time to ask for help from everyone and ask if there is any way to help Brother Yi."

"I see." Kongo nodded. "Thanks to you, Heitaro, otherwise I wouldn't have known that the situation had become so serious that even Mr. Qian was so anxious... But he made a mistake."

Inuyama Heita looked at Kongo.

King Kong said: "The Hundred Ghosts have never been his target alone, but the common enemy of us exorcists! Even if he is not here, we will find a way to fight against the Hundred Ghosts! On the contrary, we should thank you for letting us know the existence of the Hundred Ghosts! Those innocent victims are not his fault at all. As for those guys who complain when they are under a little pressure, they have never been our companions!"

"What Kongo said makes sense." Ashiya Jisuke agreed, "This is originally our own business in Japan, but we have to let Qian Jun worry about it... It seems that we are underestimated~ Don't you think so? Rang Jun."

"Oh? Have you been discovered?" Xingchang Rang's figure appeared in the corner of the booth.
