The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 60 The Adventures of Ah Jian

In the following days, the two of them continued to ride their scooters, investigating various places where ghosts existed in urban legends. However, as Qian Xiaoyi said, urban legends themselves are quite unreliable. Although ghosts may indeed appear, the probability is very small. Moreover, no one knows where, when, and under what conditions they can appear. Therefore, apart from confirming the two legends of the Ghost Taxi and the Turbine Granny, nothing was found in the past few days.

But there is also good news, that is, Qian Xiaoyi's name has spread in Inuyama Heita's school through Kawasaki, the head of the supernatural department, and Suzuki's intentional or unintentional guidance. Many students came to him out of curiosity and asked Qian Xiaoyi to tell their fortunes. Qian Xiaoyi had no psychological burden to cheat these students of their pocket money. If he could come here specifically for fortune-telling, he certainly didn't care about the money.

"Mercury retrograde. You have been having Mercury retrograde recently." Qian Xiaoyi said seriously to the high school girl in front of him.

"Eh? Is that true? No wonder I've been feeling so unlucky lately." said the high school girl. Behind her were her companions. Although these three people looked different, they all had air bangs, so Qian Xiaoyi rudely called them the "Air Bangs Corps".

Qian Xiaoyi continued to say to Air Bangs No. 1: "You are a Pisces. You have unrealistic fantasies about a better life in your heart, but you don't know how to realize it, so you long for a true love to take care of you. Although you seem a little casual in character, you are actually quite weak deep down. Recently, you always encounter some bad things, and you are hesitant about something. It's hard to make a decision, right?"

"Too accurate! Teacher, you are so accurate!" Air Bangs No. 1 exclaimed: "Please tell me how to solve it!"

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and thought: "There is a solution... not that there is no solution. You may have been criticized by others recently, so think carefully about what you have done to others. Maybe that thing is the cause of your bad luck. If you want to end this unlucky time as soon as possible, I have a natural crystal stone here. The energy field it carries can make people resistant to negative energy fields..."

"..." Inuyama Heita, who was sweeping the floor nearby, had countless things he wanted to complain about, but he couldn't say them out loud. He could only say in his heart: Isn't this nonsense! Everyone has fantasies about a better life, and if you are a very realistic person, you wouldn't be so bored to come here, right? Since you have fantasies, of course you will fantasize about Prince Charming~ There are also other solutions. This girl is also a famous gossip girl in their school. She likes to form a small circle and bully others, so there must be something that fits her. And that piece of crystal, it's man-made, needless to say, it was bought from a place called Yiwu across the sea, and it has the energy field of an egg... Tsk, I finally understand Suzuki's feelings a little bit. So this is the world of materialists? It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

"I feel like my energy field has begun to change!" Air Bangs No. 1 looked at the sparkling crystal on his chest, overjoyed.

"I want divination too!"

"Please help me with divination too!"

"Don't rush, I was here first! Teacher, I'm an Aries, help me calculate."

"Huh? We obviously came here together, right?"

Seeing that Qian Xiaoyi could tell them the truth, Air Bangs No. 2 and No. 3 also wanted to do divination. Qian Xiaoyi naturally smiled and asked them to do it one by one. After the divination was over and the Air Bangs Group was sent away, Qian Xiaoyi counted the money in his hand and sighed that these high school girls were really generous. He didn't know where the money came from.

Seeing Qian Xiaoyi happily counting money, Inuyama Heita was also somewhat tempted, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Yi, um... when will our next commission arrive?"

Qian Xiaoyi shrugged: "You ask me, who should I ask? Supernatural events are not everywhere. We can only wait patiently. It hasn't been long since the Lucky Mutual Aid Society incident fermented, and it takes a certain amount of time for news to spread. Have the offerings and incense of those children been changed today?" He was referring to the little ghosts enshrined in the utility room.

Inuyama Heita nodded: "Changed." At first, Inuyama Heita was a little afraid to enter the storage room, but now he has gotten used to it. Except for the occasional pranks played by the little kids, such as blowing wind in his ears, or suddenly having his neck touched by a cold little hand, there is nothing else to be afraid of.

"Oh, that's good." Qian Xiaoyi asked again: "How is Kawasaki doing?"

Inuyama Heita said: "The Psychic Club is being reorganized. He told all the former members that there will be no more danger. Now several people have returned to the Psychic Club."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "We need to keep a close eye on this kid, don't let him get into trouble. By the way...are you very free recently?"

Inuyama Heita said speechlessly: "It's because the office doesn't have many commissions..."

"Okay, I'll find you something to do." Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment, then pointed out the window: "Do you see that fat guy over there?"

Inuyama Heita looked out the window and saw the fat guy that Qian Xiaoyi had mentioned - the otaku ghost Ajian. This guy was still looking around behind the telephone pole.

"Well, Mr. Ken, what's wrong with him?" asked Inuyama Heita.

Qian Xiaoyi patted Inuyama Heita on the shoulder and said, "I've always told you that the fat guy is a very rare ghost, one in a million. Of course, he doesn't know it himself. The so-called rarity is, of course, because he has very unique features, so I'm going to give you a task, which is to recruit him and make him an employee of our office, turning him from a ground-bound spirit into a wandering ghost."

Inuyama Heita showed a very painful expression, he really couldn't see what use that fat guy would be. This guy was so timid that even ordinary strangers didn't dare to approach him. And most importantly, he seldom dealt with that kind of typical otaku, nor did he want to deal with him. Deep fat otakus were at the bottom of the circle of contempt in the whole of Japan.

Seeing Inuyama Heita like this, Qian Xiaoyi took out a "Fukuzawa Yukichi" note from the banknotes in his hand and handed it to Inuyama Heita. With a strange smile on his face, he said, "This is a commission. Here is the first payment of 10,000 yen. If you complete this task, you can take the remaining half."

Inuyama Heita took the money and said with full fighting spirit: "Yes, I will definitely work hard to complete the commission! Just leave it to me!"

It's just a fat dead otaku! What's so difficult about it?
