The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 777: The Bizarre Adventure of Shichijo Masato Part 10 ()

"Teacher Qian! French fries!" Terao Yu, with a cheerful attitude that did not match his Gothic style, excitedly came back to Qian Xiaoyi from a distance carrying a bag. Just as he said, the French fries were still warm when he came back.

Seeing him running out of breath, Qian Xiaoyi knew that this guy had found what he was missing. Among the three people, Terao Yu's target store was the farthest from him, three blocks away, but he was the one who came back the fastest.

Terao Yu gritted his teeth and reached behind his back. With a little effort, he tore off the purple talisman and muttered, "Finally I was able to tear this thing off."

Qian Xiaoyi showed no surprise. He opened the box and ate the fries. He nodded and said, "Well done. It seems you have found the key point, right?"

Terao Yu exhaled, sat opposite him, and said, "After all, I am their senior. If I am not as good as these two newcomers who have just entered the industry, then I will have no face to show up in public."

"Eat." Qian Xiaoyi began to share the French fries he bought with Terao Yu.

This is true. As a psychic who has been training since his youth, Terao Yu has much more experience than the other two. He can easily grasp the key to the problem and solve it.

Terao Yu's problem is not serious. He is just too eager for success and his thinking is almost polluted by the negative cognition in the "Curse Book". Therefore, Qian Xiaoyi notified him to come out and get more popularity, which was just a by-product.

As for Inuyama Heita...

"Brother Yi, I'm back." Before he could finish his words, Inuyama Heita had already come back. He took a box of French fries and put it on the table. Qian Xiaoyi took a look and found it was empty.

"Where are the French fries?" Qian Xiaoyi asked with a smile.

Inuyama Heita said, "We finished eating on the way."

Qian Xiaoyi asked knowingly: "Why does it take so long to buy French fries?"

Inuyama Heita said easily: "The fries in that store were not fried well, so I went in and taught the clerk how to fry fries. It took quite a while."

"And because your skills were so good, you couldn't help but eat it on the way?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Inuyama Heita hesitated and said, "Ah... I was thinking about something on the way and ate it without realizing it. How about I go buy another one?"

"Not really." Qian Xiaoyi shook his head. Buying French fries was not the real purpose.

The hamburger restaurant that he helped Inuyama Heita choose had a very bad reputation. The staff were notoriously bad at attitude and the French fries were often not cooked through, but because of its good location, its business was still going strong.

The reason why Inuyama Heita was asked to go was because his problem was that he suppressed his instincts too much.

Perhaps from an outsider's perspective, one might think that this kid is capable and can endure what ordinary people cannot.

But for him, this is a bad habit, because resisting his own instincts and suppressing them will not make them disappear, but will eventually cause these things to burst out at a certain critical moment, causing some irreversible consequences. As a psychic, the consequences of this bad habit are much more serious than those of ordinary people.

Inuyama Heita had already shown this sign when he used the power of despair. His style in the spiritual world was completely opposite to his usual way of doing things. One was too extreme, and the other was too ordinary. That was why Qian Xiaoyi used the spell to stimulate his inner pressure, and then used the clerk in the hamburger shop as a "needle". If he could use this "needle" to pierce a small hole in his closed [habits], he could achieve the purpose of relieving pressure and let the two styles merge together, which would be the best result.

As long as there is a beginning, Inuyama Heita will slowly learn how to face the things he doesn't want to face.

Clearly seeing one's true heart is the most important practice for a qualified psychic. Once one loses one's true heart, the psychic will be more easily contaminated by strange cognitions than ordinary people.

Sizzle~ Terao Yu helped Inuyama Heita tear off the talisman on his back. Inuyama Heita's expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and he immediately collapsed on the chair and relaxed.

"Brother Yi, what kind of spell is this?" Inuyama Heita asked in confusion, "Why did it put us in that state?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "The effect of this spell is very simple, it is to stimulate the user's spiritual power, and then cast it out to attack the enemy. It is very powerful, but it will overdraw the user's spirit. I stick them on you, which is equivalent to overdrawing your spirit instead of using it to attack. In other words, when you use this spell, things that you don't want to face in normal times will emerge in your heart."

"I see!" Terao Yu looked at the purple talisman curiously and exclaimed, "There is actually such a use for it? The world of spells is really profound. It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

Inuyama Heita asked, "Where's Nanajo-san? Hasn't he come back yet? I remember... the place he was going to was not far ahead, right?"

Terao Ikuya asked, "Yeah, he should be here in a few minutes, why haven't we seen him yet?"

"Maybe he's thinking about life somewhere." Qian Xiaoyi ate the last French fry, patted the crumbs on his hands, and said, "It seems that this guy is still too naive to find his own French fries."

Terao Yu explained to Nanajo Masato, "There's nothing we can do about it. This guy is a psychic who changed his career halfway through. He opened his eyes forcefully, and it hasn't been long, so the impact will only be greater."

Inuyama Heita also said: "Yes, the power of that talisman is really strong. I almost couldn't help it and wanted to use violence against the clerk."

Qian Xiaoyi sighed and said, "It seems that I am too impatient. There is really no other way. Let's go find him. He should be sitting somewhere on the side of the road where no one is. Let's go..."

"That's it! Mr. Nanajo!" Inuyama Heita suddenly found that the person they were looking for was walking towards them.

Terao Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "That guy, didn't he tear up the talisman?"

"No." Qian Xiaoyi saw what Qijiao Zhengren was holding, nodded, and smiled: "He succeeded."

Nanajo Masato wearily put the fries on the table, leaned on the table, pinched his brows, and said, "This is what you wanted..."

"How do you feel?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Did you see what your heart wanted?"

Nanajo Masato exhaled, tore off the talisman on his back, and said, "Yes... I found it. You almost made me doubt whether my entire life has any necessity to exist..."
