The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 605 Eye of the Storm (16)

"Wow~ It's raining so hard." Fushigi Yoko, carrying her sword bag, returned to the hospital with Fushigi Yin. Seeing the scene in the room, Fushigi Yoko sighed, "Are we the last ones to come back? It feels like we just went out for a drive and didn't do anything."

Fumu Yin was very satisfied with this. He muttered, "Perfect. This will be the best next time. I can get money without doing anything..."

"Please be more motivated!" Fushigi Yoko hugged Fushigi Yin's shoulders and shook him: "Is it really okay to show such a negative attitude in front of your employer?"

Fumu was unhappy. He didn't want to get involved in such a troublesome commission at all.

When Ashiya Yoshisuke saw that everyone had returned, he said, "Well, now that everyone is here, it's time to discuss the next plan."

Xingchang Rang asked: "So, what is the specific situation with Qian Xiaoyi?"

Nanajo Masato felt a little strange when he heard this. Although he knew that Qian Xiaoyi's soul was still fighting in another world, his real body was lying well next door and even had a high fever.

Ashiya Jisuke said: "Based on what Inuyama-kun has discovered, I speculate that his target is not the Aoki, but he is planning to lure someone there. Qian-kun is setting a trap and waiting for his prey."

"Eh?" Fushigi Yoko asked, "Didn't he say his target was that katana killer?"

Ashiya Jisuke said: "If it was just to deal with that murderer, I believe that with Qian Jun's strength, he would not let himself become such a miserable state. He may have several ways to defeat the opponent, but the strange thing is that he chose this one."

Fumu Yin raised his eyebrows and thought, "Even the great Onmyoji Mr. Ashiya recognized the strength of the psychic detective... This time it looks really troublesome, the enemy may be even stronger, I really don't want to participate in this kind of commission."

Xingchang Rang said, "I think so too, but who do you think he is trying to lure, old man? One of the Hundred Ghosts?"

"I guess so." Ashiya Kichisuke nodded.

Inuyama Heita raised his hand and asked, "But... judging from the actions of the killer before, the demon sword and the blue ghost living in it should be just abandoned by the Hundred Ghosts. So no matter whether the killer is defeated or caught by the police, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the Hundred Ghosts, and it is even impossible to find clues about the Hundred Ghosts from him. Then why would they risk exposing themselves and step into Brother Otoko's trap?"

"As long as there is enough benefit," Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "and one more thing, the enemy has no idea that this is a trap set by Qian Jun. Only we know that Qian Jun deliberately fell into the trap."

King Kong stroked his chin and asked, "But...what kind of huge benefits would induce them to do this?"

"...Nest." Nanajo Masato suddenly said, "If according to what you said, the Hundred Demons are an organization composed of people who are in high positions like Lai Shan Chenggong, they must have no shortage of power and money, at least to a certain extent... The only thing that can tempt them is something else? I think, if I were them, there would be nothing else that could tempt me except the precious nest." "Nest..." Kongo said in surprise, "Heitaro actually guessed it right! Does that mean that the floating city we saw in the vortex cloud is the nest?"

"I see~" Xingchang Rang stroked his chin and thought: "Qian Xiaoyi used himself as bait to attract the Samurai Sword Killer, and then used some method to create a nest for the Blue Ghost. So... the Blue Ghost is Qian Xiaoyi's real bait. He is turning this abandoned child into a sweet bait to attract the real mastermind behind the scenes! This is his real plan."

"Wait." Fumu Yin keenly caught a contradiction. He frowned and asked, "But how did he know how to build a nest? The Hundred Ghosts are your enemies, right? How did he do it?"

Hearing Fushigi Yin's question, Inuyama Heita's body stiffened a little, but Xingba Rang stepped forward to help Qian Xiaoyi out of the predicament.

"It may be related to the celestial phenomena." Xingchang Rang said, "Qian Xiaoyi is from that ancient country. It is not difficult to use secret techniques to strengthen the demon sword and the evil spirit inside. In addition, the blue ghost once had a nest when he was alive. So after the blue ghost becomes stronger, it is not impossible to use the characteristics of the typhoon [gathering] to rebuild a nest."

Fu Muyin's brows relaxed, and he seemed to be thinking: "...Are you saying that the nest was condensed by Qinggui himself? Qian Xiaoyi just enhanced the opponent's strength... This makes sense. Sorry, you guys continue."

Inuyama Heita secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If people knew that Brother Otoko really knew how to build the so-called nest, and that he deliberately instigated a war between the exorcists and the Hundred Demons, he would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into Tokyo Bay.

Ashiya Yoshisuke continued, "Now that we know that the Blue Oni has regrouped a nest, the enemy must be observing his movements and will definitely discover this. And most importantly, the Blue Oni has taken possession of the demon sword and become an evil spirit. For the Hundred Demons, this is a new nest that can be controlled, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation. In summary, they are likely to send someone to retrieve the demon sword."

"I understand!" King Kong slammed the table and said, "Mr. Qian wants to use this to catch all the enemies that come in! Then, based on the identities of the enemies, we can find clues about the Hundred Ghosts and find their lair! In this way, they can't hide in the dark and send assassins to threaten us! Mr. Qian is really amazing!"

"Wait." Fuki Yin questioned again: "Why didn't he tell you before, but instead wanted to do it alone? In this case, the enemy is not only the blue ghost, but also the Hundred Ghosts who were lured over. Can he defeat them alone?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke said meaningfully: "Mr. Qian always thinks of a good plan, just like in the movie. Maybe he will install a big bomb in that nest? When the enemy comes, he will kill them all at once. If his own people are present, it will be difficult for him to use the bomb. Maybe this is why he didn't inform us... Am I right, Inuyama-kun?"

"Hahaha~ How is that possible?" Kongo laughed, "I've never heard of using bombs to exorcise ghosts. You make Mr. Qian sound like a terrorist. Mr. Ashiya really knows how to joke."

Everyone's eyes turned to Inuyama Heita. Inuyama Heita's expression was stiff and his palms began to sweat, because the shape of a sharp object appeared in his mind - Brother O really had a bomb!

Seeing Inuyama Heita's reaction, Kongo was shocked and said, "Huh? Really, Heitaro?"
