The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 61: The Adventures of Ah Jian (2)

For the sake of money, Inuyama Heita agreed to the job, but he still didn't know where to start. Although he had psychic eyes, his attitude towards ghosts was basically to keep a distance from them, and he would never be stupid enough to get close to them.

Don't mention it, thinking about it this way, Inuyama Heita began to understand how rare Ajian was. It seemed that ghosts that could communicate normally with people were really rare.

"Well, let me ask you this for now." Inuyama Heita asked, "What should I do? Earthbound spirits should be particularly obsessed undead spirits, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Didn't you say it? If someone has a strong obsession, of course you should help him solve it. Since I said that I want him to be my employee instead of a slave, I must be promising him a big deal. You should just cater to his needs and try your best to make promises for him. Then you can divert his obsession, won't you succeed? Take this, you may need it." Qian Xiaoyi took out a jade pendant from the drawer and handed it to Inuyama Heita.

"If it's so simple, then why don't you go, Brother Yi?" Inuyama Heita took the jade pendant and narrowed his eyes.

"Me? Ahem... do you really need me to do such a trivial matter?" Qian Xiaoyi stretched out his hand and said, "Forget it, you said so, so I'll go, but I'll pay the commission fee."

"I'm going out~" Inuyama Heita closed the door of the office.

When he arrived downstairs, Inuyama Heita hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and walked towards the telephone pole.

"Hello..." Inuyama Heita asked, "Your name is... Mr. Ken, right?"

At first, Jian hadn't reacted to what Inuyama Heita said before, but when he heard his own name, Jian screamed like a little girl as if he had seen a ghost, hid his fat body behind a telephone pole, and looked at Inuyama Heita in horror: "You! Can you see me?!"

"Yeah." Inuyama Heita nodded: "I can see it."

“Huh~” Ah Jian’s translucent body, which was so frightened that it flickered, stabilized. He covered his chest and said, “What’s going on? It’s that little ghost following behind Brother Yi. Can you please stop being so scary all of a sudden? You almost scared me to death! I thought you couldn’t see me like everyone else.”

"You are already dead." Inuyama Heita kindly reminded.

"You're so long-winded!" Ah Jian was so angry that he said, "You don't need to be so long-winded!"

Inuyama Heita looked at the ghost curiously. The more he looked, the more he realized that he was different from other ghosts. Not only could he appear clearly in the broad daylight, but even if he was reminded that he was dead, he would not wake up as suddenly as the other ghosts did and then go crazy or collapse.

Inuyama Heita asked, "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

Ah Jian waved his hand, turned around and continued to stare at the store downstairs from the office, and said, "I'm waiting for that game to be released."

"..." Inuyama Heita remembered that Qian Xiaoyi mentioned that this guy seemed to want to be the first to play the game, so he ran here to queue up in the middle of the night. As a result, he was too weak and died in the cold wind at night. He is still waiting for the game. Inuyama Heita asked: "What game is it that makes you want to play it so much?"

Hearing this, Jian became excited. If you ask him about other things, he might not remember anything, but he remembered this very clearly. Jian turned around and said excitedly, "That's it! The sequel to the famous "Tokimeki Bishoujo Adventure"! It combines the essence of galgame, RPG, racing, business simulation, real-time strategy, and fighting to create a top masterpiece! In the first generation story, I have always remembered the promise I made with Masaki-chan! And in the sequel to "Tokimeki Bishoujo Adventure", I heard that her trace can be found! Fulfill the promise! And not only that, Miru-chan's love line is also extremely exciting. The confession under the moonlight is simply tear-jerking, but I still chose Masaki-chan..."

Ajian was talking non-stop there, but Inuyama Heita didn't listen at all except at the beginning. He took out his mobile phone and started searching for information about the game that Ajian mentioned on the Internet. "Tokimeki Bishoujo Adventure" was a work from the early 2000s. The three heroines on the cover had eyes bigger than the other, and their eyes took up most of their faces. It was a very old-fashioned Japanese style of beautiful girls. Anyway, young people of Generation Z like Inuyama Heita would not be able to appreciate it.

There is not much information about this game on the Internet. It seems that it is not as popular in Japan as Ken said, but rather a very niche game. Looking at the few reviews about it on the Internet, Inuyama Heita came to a two-word conclusion: shit.

——And it was a complete and utter failure.

Then he continued to search for information about the sequel to this game, but found nothing. It was not until he checked the game company that he discovered that the development team of this game had gone bankrupt more than ten years ago. The reason was that the capital chain was broken when making the sequel, which led to the death of the second generation of this work. In other words, Ajian would never wait for the release of this game.

"Wait, something seems wrong..." Inuyama Heita seemed to have found a contradiction. Since the sequel of this game was stillborn, why would Ken choose to queue here in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, Inuyama Heita wanted to ask the other party if he knew the news, but stopped himself.

He was worried that the other party didn't know the news. If that was the case, the other party might become discouraged after hearing the news, and his obsession would disappear. But he had to figure out this contradiction, otherwise he wouldn't be able to complete the task.

So Inuyama Heita looked towards the music store and planned to go over and ask.

Inuyama Heita walked into the store and saw an uncle wearing glasses watching anime on a tablet behind the counter. The content seemed to be something like magical girls for little girls, but the uncle was watching it with great interest. He must have a very childlike heart.

"Hello." Inuyama Heita greeted.

"Customer?" The uncle glanced at Inuyama Heita and said, "Just bring anything you like to check out. By the way, judging from your uniform, you're a high school student, right? Don't go into the adult area, that's not what you should see at your age... No, it should be said that it's exactly what you should see at your age. Oh, never mind. Although you're not allowed to buy, you can look around. I'll pretend I didn't see it, after all, I was that age too... Youth~ sticky youth, I really miss it~"

"Um... I'm not..." Inuyama Heita glanced at the innermost pink area, suppressed his inner throbbing, and said, "I have something to ask you. Do you know about the sequel to the game "Tokimeki Bishoujo Adventure"? "

The uncle froze, and he seemed to think for a long time before he retrieved the relevant information from his memory.

"Tokimeki Bibiki Adventure: Revelation"... I didn't expect young people today to know this." The uncle stroked his stubble and said, "This is really rare~"
