The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 771: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 4 ()

Judging from the tone, "okay" means "not okay". Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "It seems that before giving you the second task, I have to give you a special training~"

To be honest, as a psychic whose eyes were opened forcefully, Shichijo Masato has no talent. He is a psychic who has changed his ways lately and cannot even withstand the possession of a harmless ghost like Ken for long.

Especially after he was indoctrinated with epistemology, his understanding of the supernatural became even more confused. Cognitive theory told him that those things did not actually exist, but he had indeed seen those things. He could accept it and get over it mentally, but emotionally, he still could not believe it.

In this case, it would be difficult for him to follow the path of epistemology. It can be said that being able to become a stable psychic is already his limit. Of course, this is also the limit for most people.

And the lower limit is even lower.

For those who want to open their eyes later in life, Qian Xiaoyi would like to recommend them a non-existent professional book: "How to Become a Psychic - From Entry to Graveyard".

Although it is somewhat of a joke, a large part of the title of this non-existent book is true. Most of those who have their eyes opened forcibly will develop mental problems or even physical illnesses due to reasons such as their cognition being torn apart or they cannot tolerate the psychic's overly sensitive inspiration.

Even Inuyama Heita could not distinguish between fantasy and reality, and lived in a daze for several years. It was not until he met Qian Xiaoyi that he was able to live a normal life.

Those who fail to adapt often see hallucinations in a trance and lose their ability to concentrate, which leads to various accidents, commonly known as bad luck.

If they provoke some evil spirits, resentful spirits, or cursed things, these psychics will be more miserable than ordinary people. Ordinary people have extremely strong resistance because they cannot see, but these psychics are doomed. They are in a state where they can just see and contact those beings.

This is like a sturdy can that is opened with a can opener and then released into the wild. Even a small mouse can easily eat the contents.

A mature, strong male psychic is like the contents of a can that has mutated. He can eat the mouse in one bite and then put the lid back on.

Now Nanajo Masato is like the former. If no one is watching, he will be easily eaten if he encounters a powerful guy.

"So, in order for you to complete the second task I assign to you, you must undergo special training and reach the level I require." Qian Xiaoyi said.

After listening to Qian Xiaoyi's analogy, Qijiao Zhengren became a little discouraged: "An opened can... am I that weak?"

"Can you beat Ajian?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"Of course..." Nanajo Masato was about to pat his chest and promise, but when he thought about how he was just being teased by Ken, he couldn't help but hesitate. He muttered, "I have already purified several vengeful spirits..."

Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "Using your own cognition to exorcise the vengeful spirits is indeed a good method, but... it's like using saliva to put out a fire. It's useful when you encounter vengeful spirits that can only scare people, but if you encounter a tough guy, it will only burn yourself - at least you have to upgrade to the level where you can put out a fire with urine, right?"

Nanajo Masato said disdainfully: "Although it is very intuitive, can't you give me some normal examples?"

"Don't talk back at me for just a few words." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"Have I turned into saliva now?" Nanajo Masato said angrily, "Will I have to upgrade to urine in the future? You are too disgusting! Then what are you?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "The high-pressure water cannon of the fire truck."

"..." Nanajo Masato closed his mouth, not wanting to argue with this boastful guy. He asked tiredly, "I see...special training, right? I promise, when will we..."

"Just now, I heard someone saying the word 'special training'?" The door opened and Ajian floated out, followed by Inuyama Heita. It seemed that they had been eavesdropping behind the door.

Ken said with a serious expression: "Inuyama and I are very experienced in this kind of activity, so we apply to observe. This way, we can also provide Nanajo with a lot of useful suggestions."

"Indeed." Inuyama Heita also said: "I have participated in Brother O's special training many times, and I think I have the right to speak."

Nanajo Masato was furious: "I think you two just want to see me make a fool of myself!"

"No."

"how come."

The two people denied it one after another with innocent looks, but everyone could see that they were gloating.

"Okay." Qian Xiaoyi said, "You guys want to join too? That's great, you're very motivated. Then you can train with him. I'll make special arrangements for you."

"Okay!" Nanajo Masato clenched his fists tightly.

"Eh?!" Inuyama Heita's eyes were blank: "I want to participate too?"

Ah Jian shouted in horror: "No! That's not what I meant! I'm sorry, I was wrong! Don't take me with you, I'll just look after the house!"

Nanajo Masato laughed sarcastically: "Hahaha~ This is really satisfying. You guys should prepare to go to hell with me."

The auras of Inuyama Heita and Ken became gloomy, especially Inuyama Heita. He thought to himself that it seemed that he could not learn from Mr. Ken in the future. Really, it was obvious that Mr. Nanajo and Mr. Ken were laughing at him last time.

"Speaking of which..." Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Zhengren, you said you wanted to practice your psychic abilities recently... How did you practice? You said you purified several evil spirits, but I saw that you looked pretty good and didn't seem to have any mental sequelae. Did someone help you with your treatment afterwards?"

Nanajo Masato was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Did you figure this out? That's right, I met a friend while working part-time, he is also a great exorcist like you, from the sound of him, he should be the best in the industry, maybe you even know him."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Qian Xiaoyi asked curiously: "Then tell me his name."

Nanajo Masato said, "He claims to be the strongest sorcerer in Tokyo today, and he is the man who is going to become the King of Curses. His name is Terao Iku. Do you know him?"

"What?" Ah Jian said in surprise, "It's that guy."

Inuyama Heita suddenly realized: "So the person that Mr. Nanajo mentioned was Mr. Terao?"

"Tokyo's strongest sorcerer right now..." Qian Xiaoyi showed a strange expression: "That's right."

Nanajo Masato rubbed his head and said, "What? You all know him. So he is really the most powerful sorcerer in the industry? I thought he was just bragging."

"It looks like there will be one more guy in special training." Qian Xiaoyi murmured.
