The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 648: The Journey to Mt. Osor

In a cafe, Qian Xiaoyi was drinking coffee with a travel magazine in his hand and a half-eaten chocolate sundae in front of him. Like other customers here, he was enjoying the rare shade in the hot summer.

After a while, Zhang Chunfa, who had not been seen for a long time, sat down in front of him and asked the waiter for an iced American coffee. Then, after seeing the sundae in front of Qian Xiaoyi, he ordered a different flavor.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhang Chunfa leaned back in his chair and relaxed in the air-conditioning.

Qian Xiaoyi looked at the magazine and asked without raising his head: "You look very tired, have you been busy recently?"

Zhang Chunfa sighed and said, "It's just that group of gangsters who are causing trouble. When they saw the two big brothers of the Chuan Dao Society were dead, they all ran over to grab some benefits."

"Didn't the ghosts help?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Zhang Chunfa sneered: "At least there is no help on the surface. That Tianxie ghost can only make empty promises."

"Normal." Qian Xiaoyi flipped a page of the magazine and said, "It means that the other party is still on guard against you and doesn't want you to find out the details of the Hundred Ghosts members. Just delay it, they will be unable to control themselves."

Zhang Chunfa nodded: "I thought so too... Thank you." He picked up the iced American coffee brought by the waiter and took a sip.

[Golden God] In the eyes of Bai Gui, the casino is a gold mine, but this gold mine is now in the hands of Zhang Chunfa, and there is no substitute for the time being, so the one who should be anxious is not Zhang Chunfa, but the other party.

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhang Chunfa asked, "I say, you've been reading a magazine there, why don't you help me look at that ghost thing behind me?"

Qian Xiaoyi looked up at him and said, "You look pretty good. I don't need to see to know that there is no impact."

Ever since the casino competition, the ghost tattoo on Zhang Chunfa's back seemed to have lost its pigment and became a little blurred. In order to prevent him from having any accidents or the ghosts from doing anything weird to him, the two of them agreed to meet every once in a while.

"It sounds like a perfunctory response." Zhang Chunfa raised his eyebrows, but he also knew that Qian Xiaoyi would not harm him, so he picked up the spoon and started eating the strawberry sundae.

"Oh, right." Qian Xiaoyi handed a photo to Zhang Chunfa and asked, "Is this person Taoist Jingde? The face in the corner."

When Zhang Chunfa heard the name, he stopped what he was doing, his eyes immediately became gloomy, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He took the photo and looked at it carefully.

In the photo, Hiroshi Nanajo was having a pleasant conversation with some important person. They seemed to be at some banquet. It was a photo taken by a reporter. In addition to them, there were other people in the photo, who seemed to be guests of the banquet. In the corner of the photo, an inconspicuous person stood there with an expressionless face, and he didn't seem to realize that he had been included in the frame.

If you don't look closely, it's easy to miss this person in the photo.

"Why is it so blurry?" Zhang Chunfa asked, "Isn't there a frontal face? With advanced technology nowadays, it should be OK to take a photo with a cell phone, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "That person was very cautious and left almost no images or photos. It took me a long time to find this one."

This is a photo taken a long time ago. At that time, Hiroshi Nanajo was not as sickly as he is now, and looked very energetic.

Zhang Chunfa looked at it carefully and said, "They seem somewhat similar... but I haven't seen him for twenty years, and he didn't have burns on his face at that time... He looks very similar. I can't forget that look and temperament." After hearing Zhang Chunfa's final conclusion, Qian Xiaoyi nodded and put the photo away.

Zhang Chun asked him, "Since we have found this old guy...he dared to send a murderer to attack you. How about I find a gunman to kill him?"

When talking about this kind of thing, Zhang Chunfa's fierce aura was exposed, and it seemed that he really wanted to retaliate.

"Not appropriate." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether we have a suitable opportunity... What if he has another trick up his sleeve after you kill him?"

"What backup plan? Shoot him in the head... He..." Zhang Chunfa swallowed his saliva: "It's impossible for him to turn into a ghost and come to take my life, right? Even if he can, don't we still have you?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "He has been planning in Japan for so many years. I don't believe he would be unprepared for such a thing. The more such a person is, the more afraid he is of death. Maybe if we spend a lot of effort to kill him directly, it will lead to more serious consequences. Don't forget, if we leave a handle in reality, we will have to deal with more than just those monsters and demons."

Zhang Chunfa said helplessly: "You are the boss now, just do what you say. I will do as you say."

"You don't need to take action now." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I need to find out his layout and his details first, otherwise we will have no way to take action against him."

Zhang Chunfa asked: "How do I check?"

Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Our school is somewhat different from other schools. He came to Japan alone, so he certainly would not rashly challenge the local forces directly. Instead, he would conduct various experiments and investigations first, and then launch a plan."

"I can see that, it's the same as yours." Zhang Chunfa said, "You two are indeed from the same place."

"If not, I wouldn't have come here..." Qian Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said, "Anyway, in order to better understand the local forces and rules in Japan, Jingde must have conducted investigations and experiments in various parts of Japan in the first few years after arriving in Japan. I found a layout he left behind in a place last year."

Qian Xiaoyi briefly talked about the things happening in Baihu Village.

"He traveled all over Japan to found the Hundred Ghosts?" Zhang Chunfa exclaimed in amazement. "He's a ruthless man, doing things everywhere... But even so, Japan isn't that big, but it's not small either. If you keep looking for it, how long will it take you to find it? Even if you follow the clues, the clues are too long."

"Of course I won't follow his path all the way to find him." Qian Xiaoyi said, "So, I plan to look for another person who has met him."

Zhang Chunfa asked curiously, "Who is it? Where is he? Do you want me to help kidnap him?"

"There's no need to kidnap him. His body can't stand the torture." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, you just need to hide inside the enemy. You can help when you need to. As for the location... it's in Aomori County. I just don't know how much she can remember."

"Okay, call me if you need anything." Zhang Chunfa didn't ask who it was. He finished the sundae in a few bites and left the coffee shop first.

Qian Xiaoyi stroked his chin and continued to look at the magazine, reading the travel information about Mount Osore.
