"The author of "Kaidan"?"

Lafcadio Hearn is considered the originator of Japanese monster literature.

Mitsunarihei didn't keep it a secret: "Their goal is to recreate the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"Then they should be called the Toriyama Sekien Club."

Xia Shu made a casual complaint, but he became more serious than ever before. If the other party's goal was really to recreate the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, then wouldn't that mean turning the entire world into a huge super S-level map?

There is a big conflict of interest between me and him. Being able to open and leave the ghost map at will is one of my golden finger abilities. Otherwise, what is the difference between me and ordinary people?

"It couldn't have come at a better time."

Chapter 124: Xigong Empress Acting Coquettishly

Just like Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in the first generation of Pokémon, Natsuki suspected that he had embarked on the path of Pokémon.

Sadako, Kayako, and Mimiko are exactly the Big Three.

After casually wishing them a happy marriage and hoping that they would live happily together, Xia Shu quickly came to the computer.

As a private detective, there is a lot of information that is not difficult to investigate. Although he cannot find the exorcist Hanagata and the low-key Yakumo Tetsuya, he can investigate when the exorcism variety show they shoot is generally filmed and recorded.

He didn't even have to spend any money, as among the fans he had helped were members of the TV station.

When the other party learned that Xia Shu wanted to meet Master Hanagata, the number one exorcist in the Kanto region, and then took into account his identity, he agreed without thinking.

Coincidentally, the variety show recording time is tomorrow morning.

Early in the morning, Xia Shu got up early, which was rare.

Last night's rain made the air slightly cooler.

Natsuki calmly picked up a children's umbrella when he went out. Sadako and Kayako were also his helpers, so he had to take them with him. However, if they appeared like this, they might be noticed by Hanagata, so it would be better for them to wait to be summoned.

All Sadako needs to do is crawl out of the phone, and Kayako can appear next to the person she curses anytime and anywhere.

When I drove to the TV station, a man wearing black-framed glasses was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. President!"

Mr. President is Natsuki's nickname, and the full name is Mr. Exorcist President, from Rinko Hojo.

Everyone followed her and shouted.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Sato." After getting off the car, Natsuki shook hands with the other party cordially.

Sato shook his head and handed Natsuki the temporary certificate needed for extras. Extras were needed for the variety show shooting, so it was not difficult to meet Hanagata.

"Thank you very much for your help last time!" Sato said very seriously, "I think you are an exorcist who is more powerful than Master Hanagata. If it weren't for you, my friend would definitely die after going to Aokigahara Forest."

"It's just a little effort."

Xia Shu was not overly modest. In this line of work, not bragging about oneself was already considered modesty. Ordinary people couldn't tell who was genuine and who was fake. Denying one's own abilities would only drive away business, wouldn't that?

He followed Sato into the studio and found that a light stage was still being built. There were also many local shamanistic items on the stage, including clay figurines, Japanese dolls, etc. It was an even more hodgepodge than his own.

It is really hard to tell which school Master Huaxing belongs to.

"Master Huaxing hasn't arrived yet..."

"Sato!" Someone shouted from a distance, "Come and help!"

"I'm sorry," Sato apologized to Natsuki, "Mr. President, I have to go over there to help, so you here..."

"It's okay." Xia Shu waved his hand without caring at all: "Go and get busy."

"Thank you!"

Xia Shu was chatting casually with the people around him, and found that many of the extras who came today were middle-aged women. They were loyal fans of Master Hanagata and wanted to see Master Hanagata perform exorcisms live.

"Are you also a fan of Master Hanagata?" This style of Xia Shu is very much in line with the tastes of young and mature women.

He has carefully combed hair, a handsome face, a well-trimmed beard that exudes masculine hormones, and a slightly loose suit. Although he does not exude a strong aura, he is still mysterious.

Clothes that are washed frequently will only leave a faint smell of tobacco and laundry detergent, which is another charming scent.

If there wasn't a chilly aura coming from his body, there wouldn't definitely be only a dozen young women gathered around him.

"Of course! Master Hanagata is the best exorcist in Kanto! And I've even taught myself to read palms. I want to see how far I am from Master Hanagata, haha."

"Hey, can you read palms?"

"That's right~" He naturally grabbed the hand offered by a young woman, with a surprised expression: "I can see that your love life is rather bumpy."

"Red beans?" The young woman covered her mouth, looking surprised.

"Well, emotionally speaking, you were pursued by many people when you were young, but you are a serious person, so you will not easily accept those pursuits. You may have regrets in your heart."

“That’s so accurate!”

No matter how good Master Hanagata's eloquence is, he has to stay away from Master Yahiro. He usually doesn't want to use the eloquence he honed from chatting with the nurse in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he can't use it.

Astrology, palmistry, and face reading are the fastest ways to get closer to someone.

Palmistry is a real thing. It is not difficult to get started, but it is difficult to master it.

However, as long as you have high emotional intelligence and know how to read people's expressions, you can fool people with a few words.

In just a short while, several ladies were already so engrossed in the conversation that they took out their phones to follow Xia Shu's social media accounts. After discovering that he was actually a "professional", they uttered a series of "eh"s.

Especially after seeing the comments from people on his social media account, I became more and more certain that Xia Shu was a master with great strength. I guess he just came here today to see Master Hanagata.

People in the same industry are enemies, but the ladies don’t think there is anything wrong with it. After all, they are just interested in fortune-telling, so they will listen to whoever is more handsome and accurate.

At the moment, it seems that Xia Shu is poaching people and is very successful.

The noise here was so loud that it attracted Sato and others who were still busy over there to look over here.

"Sato, what's going on over there?"

"Uh, I don't know."

Sato looked at Xia Shu who was surrounded by female monsters, and was amazed. He thought to himself: "As expected of you, Mr. President. Awesome!"

"... Feeling uncomfortable in your shoulders? I know some massage techniques for exorcism..." Xia Shu took the opportunity to promote it.

It doesn’t matter if your firm doesn’t have these projects. If you pay, we can immediately issue a price list.

The main point is to make money as soon as you can.

Ding Dong, the phone vibrates.

Xia Shu took out his cell phone.

Sadako: [Curse you]

Xia Shu: [I am trying to attract business and make money! You still want to buy a tablet computer.]

Sadako: [Curse you!]

Natsuki: [Okay]

He decided to be more restrained. Anyway, he had already talked about everything that could be talked about today. He just had to wait for the opportunity to communicate in depth in the future. These dozen people were not short of money, and they were all his fans. If he could convert one of them into his customer, the money would come in soon.

Alas, it’s not easy for Xigong to act coquettishly, so just bear with it.

The stronger he is, the more human-like he becomes. I wonder if he will be able to completely suppress his resentment rationally when he reaches S-level.

The stage construction has been basically completed.

Natsuki saw the flower-shaped master appear.

The other person was a man in a black suit with Buddhist beads wrapped around his neck and wrists. The most eye-catching thing was the sword-shaped prop wrapped in cloth that he was carrying.

Xia Shu was basically certain that the other party was the masked man he met in the A-level map, and that sword was the Murasaki sword that easily destroyed his two cursed objects.

Hanagata chatted with the stage set staff for a while, and then the staff nodded and left. It seemed that the stage needed to be changed.

As if noticing Natsuki's gaze, Hanagata turned around and greeted everyone here.

The ladies who were chatting enthusiastically with Natsuki just now were not very enthusiastic.

Exorcism is not only about ability, but also about looks.

Although Master Hanagata has good taste in clothes and is quite handsome, he is still far inferior to Xia Shu, especially since Xia Shu's palm reading just now convinced them.

They were sweaty and wet from all the praise.

"What's going on?" Master Huaxing was puzzled. The extras they found this time didn't seem very enthusiastic.

He immediately went to ask the staff, saying that this would affect his performance.

Sato replied: "Those are all your fans. When we invited them, they all filled out forms."

fan?

How can fans be so cold!

It seems that I need to prepare again for today's variety show and show my real skills.

Chapter 125 Obtaining the Ame-no-Kume Sword

After a brief rehearsal, the official recording will begin. According to what Natsuki heard from Sato who just passed by, this recording will probably take a whole day.

If you can't hold on, you can leave; they always have extras to fill in.

Sato helped Natsuki and had already used the back door, so why not take the initiative to pry them apart yourself? It wouldn't matter if he had to do it at the last minute.

The host of the program was applauding to welcome Master Hanagata, who is known as the number one exorcist in the Kanto region. The show started with a few greetings, and the master was very polite.

Xia Shu was also watching very seriously. He thought that many of the other party's lines were worth learning. He could imitate a few of them when he went out to take jobs in the future. However, his ability to create an atmosphere was much worse than his own. If he was not known as the "No. 1 in the Kanto Region", he would be no different from the man who knocks on doors to sell the God of Wealth during the New Year, speaking in a mysterious way and more like a liar.

Before the show started, these "extras" already had a general understanding of the general flow of the show. After all, their cooperation was required. For the three segments, the extras only needed to follow the hosts to exclaim and then burst into applause.

Because those who can come in and watch the recording are all veteran fans, their degree of cooperation is extremely high.

There are only a dozen or so ladies who can be turned by Xia Shu, which is not enough. After all, today is Master Hanagata's exclusive variety show, and he intends to create the most popular exorcism variety show. Just looking at the scenery, you can tell that it is very expensive.

If this money was given to Xia Shu, he would dare to directly hire a hundred psychics and let them draw fire talismans for him on a 24-hour assembly line. Then, no matter whether it was the Spitting God or Shiranui, he would directly bury it with the talisman.

The first program in rehearsal is going through the process and is full of inspiration.

The little props that had puzzled Natsuki before came in handy; they were prepared for the performance.

An ability similar to telepathy, the flower-shaped master needs to turn his head, cover his eyes, and then guess what the props are and where they are.
