The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 598 Eye of the Storm (9)

Several people wandered around the nearby alleys like headless flies, searching almost everywhere nearby, but still found no trace of Qian Xiaoyi.

Inuyama Heita looked at the sky anxiously and thought: "No, because of the typhoon, the aura has become too chaotic... I can't find the entrance to the ghost area at all. If only Mr. Ken was here..."

He wiped the rain off his face and returned to where Qian Xiaoyi parked his motorcycle. The key to the car was still in his pocket, but no one knew where the person had gone.

"Did you find it?" King Kong hurried back from the other end: "I didn't see it here."

Inuyama Heita shook his head helplessly.

The others also came back and said that they had not seen Qian Xiaoyi at all.

Nanajo Masato was puzzled: "Where did he go in such a short time? The wind is so strong on the street now, he shouldn't have gone far... Let's expand the area and continue looking by car!"

There was no other way, they could only do this. Inuyama Heita took the keys of the motorcycle, then got on the car with King Kong. The three cars began to search for Qian Xiaoyi in the nearby streets and alleys, and the scope continued to expand.

About half an hour later, Qijio Zhengren, who was anxiously looking for Qian Xiaoyi, suddenly stepped on the brakes because he saw a figure staggering towards him in the heavy rain.

"Is it Xiao Yi? Or..." Nanajo Masato couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The rain was too heavy and he couldn't see who the man was at all.

Even those office workers who brave the wind and rain to go to get off work would not just walk in the middle of the road with a weird posture like a walking corpse.

He thought of the famous serial killer recently and felt a little uneasy.

"Wait, I'm not an exorcist." Nanajo Masato thought of this and felt relieved. Then he drove forward a little, and under the light of the car lights, he could finally barely see the figure.

The moment Shichijo Masato saw the other person clearly, he showed a surprised expression, immediately opened the car door, and walked over in the heavy rain.

"Qian Xiaoyi?!" Qijo Masato stopped a few meters away from the other party uncertainly. When the other party heard the voice and subconsciously raised his head, Qijo Masato was sure that this was the Qian Xiaoyi they were looking for!

"Why are you here? What happened?" asked Nanajo Masato in surprise.

But Qian Xiaoyi did not answer. His eyes lost focus and he just walked forward in a daze. With the help of the light, Qijiao Zhengren saw clearly that there were several sharp cuts on the other person's clothes, as if they were cut by a sharp weapon. Red blood mixed with rain water flowed down along the corners of the clothes.

"Hey! Are you okay?" asked Nanajo Masato.

Qian Xiaoyi remained silent. After taking a few more steps, his body finally couldn't withstand the strong wind and he fell headfirst in front of Qi Tiao Zhengren, splashing a pool of water.

Nanajo Masato was stunned by this scene. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Qian Xiaoyi up to prevent him from being drowned by the accumulated water.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Cheer up!" Nanajo Masato shook Qian Xiaoyi, but the other party was still unconscious. After seeing the horrific wounds on Qian Xiaoyi's body, Nanajo Masato made a prompt decision and dragged Qian Xiaoyi into the car.

"Hold on, I'll take you to the hospital!" Nanajo Masato looked back and started the car.

……

Inuyama Heita and Kongo rushed to the emergency room and saw Qian Xiaoyi lying quietly on the bed. "Brother Yi?"

"Is that Mr. Qian?"

They walked to the bed and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qian Xiaoyi's breathing was relatively stable. However, when they saw the bandaged wounds on his body, Inuyama Heita became nervous again and asked anxiously, "Is this... caused by the killer's samurai sword? Was he attacked by the killer?"

"Samurai sword?" Nanajo Masato, who was sitting on an empty bed nearby, said with a strange expression, "No, the doctor said that judging from the glass fragments left in the wound, it must have been cut by glass blown over by the typhoon. It looks serious, but in fact the wound is not deep and did not cut into any vital parts, but it still bled a lot."

"It's just glass~" King Kong said, "That's not bad. Could it be that Mr. Qian was running around in the wind and rain and got hit? He didn't even see the murderer and this happened. His luck is really bad."

"No." Inuyama Heita frowned and said, "He has already met the killer."

——But it was not in reality, but in the ghost realm. The wounds on his body might be the result of being cut by the opponent there.

Musashi's voice came from Kongo's backpack: "That brat is right. There is a strong resentment on the wound. I can feel it."

Nanajo Masato's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "So he went to duel with the killer, and ended up in this state? And what about Mr. Ken? Was Mr. Ken with him? Where did he go? Could it be that..."

No one spoke. Everyone thought of a possibility. The ward fell into silence. King Kong suddenly asked, "Since Mr. Qian is fine, why don't we wait for him to wake up and ask him what happened?"

"He..." Shichijo Masato looked at the bed and shook his head. "He seems to be in a deep coma. The doctor can't figure out what happened yet. We have to wait for the medical report to tell us the details."

"How could this happen..." Inuyama Heita sat on the chair, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Nanajo Masato sighed, "This guy... is so abominable. He became like this without saying a word."

But the person was already lying there, and there was nothing he could say.

At this time, the Fuki couple finally arrived, and Nanajo Masato quickly said, "You came at the right time. Please help check on Qian Xiaoyi's condition."

"Ah... this is..." Fu Muyin was also shocked when he saw Qian Xiaoyi lying on the bed.

Afterwards, after hearing what Shichijo Masato had said, Fumu Yin carefully examined Qian Xiaoyi's appearance and said, "It looks like he was indeed attacked by that murderer. He has obvious symptoms of soul separation, which means his soul is no longer in his body."

Shichijo Masato asked, "Can we get his soul back?"

Fu Muyin scratched his head and said uncertainly: "We don't know what state his soul is in now. Mr. Qian is not an ordinary person, but a very powerful exorcist. Even if he encounters any accidents, he can come back by his own strength. Now, he may have encountered an accident...ah, don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth. Anyway, I will give it a try first, but I have to go home to prepare some props for the ceremony."

"Please." Nanajo Masato said, "Get ready as soon as possible. No matter what, nothing can happen to this guy."

Inuyama Heita also said: "I will also inform Mr. Hoshiba, he should be able to find a solution."
