Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

"It's okay. I'm a little exhausted. I just need to rest for a while. The God of Wilderness has been defeated by Lord Xia Fan."

Jinguji Aoi reluctantly sat up from Xia Fan's arms and said weakly.

"Already, defeated?"

"Advisor Xia Fan, was able to solve that terrifying monster all by himself?"

Looking around the site with fallen trees, sunken ground, and blood and flesh, Higurashi and the other agents felt their pupils tremble and they gasped.

Chapter 133 "Lucky Star"

2024-07-13

Xia Fan's frail figure became mysterious and profound in the eyes of everyone in Lesson 9.

The scene of the "giant" smashing down the helicopter is still vivid in their minds. They can't imagine how Xia Fan fought the "giant" nakedly for three hundred rounds and "defeated" the opponent until nothing was left?

"By the way, why is your gun glowing?"

But what Xia Fan was concerned about were the automatic rifles in the hands of the people in Class 9.

The metal surface of the gun body was shining with golden light for some reason, just like the paid weapon skins in shooting online games.

"These guns were blessed by the monk Erxing. But we don't really know what you mean by glowing."

Inspector Higurashi and the detectives looked at the guns in their hands, bewildered.

"Amitabha, this object was consecrated using the secret method of the Holy Guanyin Sect. The Buddha's light will linger for several days. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it, so there is no need to worry about it."

"I'm Erxing, nice to meet you, Brother Xia Fan. When the God of Desolation was defeated, I sensed another strange aura..."

"I guess you have used your spiritual body to invite an ancient being from this land to possess you. You are so connected to the heavens and the earth, and you uphold justice. I really admire you."

The thin and petite monks of the second row walked out of the woods slowly and bowed eleven times to Xia Fanhe.

"Mr. Xia, this is the member of the Psychic Association, the abbot of Sensoji Temple, Nixing Shojo. He has been assisting us in investigating the case of the "Complete Suicide Manual" recently."

Aoi Jinguji introduced softly.

"Meet the master."

Xia Fan bowed humbly and did not continue the conversation with the second monk.

If the official psychic knew that the one who defeated the wild god "Red Demon" was the "Tengod" in his body who was wholeheartedly involved in the war of faith, he would probably not be so polite to him.

"Report, there's someone here... It's Takenaka Masahiro!"

The detective who was carefully investigating the scene let out a low cry.

After the "Red God" dissipated, in the sunken ground filled with flesh and blood, lay the emaciated and unconscious Takenaka Masahiro.

"This person is still alive. I guess Lord Xia Fan intended to hold him back."

The two monks approached cautiously, and after testing him, they found that he was still breathing.

"Your Excellency has extraordinary psychic talent and a kind heart. You are truly a blessing to the Psychic Association."

He turned around and looked at Xia Fan with even more admiration in his eyes.

In primitive times, the earliest "prophets" and "shaman priests" were all people with innate spiritual blood.

This type of people are the "prophets" who communicate between humans and supernatural beings. They are also the foundation of nature worship and the birth of religion. Their strength is far beyond that of modern psychics.

Judging from the current situation, Xia Fan has a pure heart. He is so young but can defeat such a powerful wild god on his own. In the future, he will at least be a great psychic who can protect the area for decades of good weather and good harvests.

"Pack him up and take him to the hospital. We still have a lot of questions to ask this guy. We can't let him die."

Several agents took out a "packing kit", carefully tied up Takenaka Masahiro, put talismans on him, and carried him away on a stretcher.

"This place has been polluted by the power of the Wild God. Let this old monk purify it."

"Namo, haradana, doraya. Namo, ariya. Balukedi, shobolaya..."

The two monks didn't care about the blood on the ground. They sat cross-legged on the spot and recited scriptures silently.

As he chanted, the flesh and blood on the ground gradually melted away, turning into wisps of gray-black air that dissipated into the night sky.

"Um, Jinguji Miko, what should we do with these guns?"

Higurashi looked at the automatic rifles in his and the agents' hands, looking embarrassed.

In order to fight against the wild gods, the ninth lesson invited two monks to consecrate the guns.

As a result, he was delayed by the "consecration ceremony" and arrived a step late. Before he could fire a single shot, the God of Wilderness had already been defeated by Xia Fan.

"Keep them. These guns will have the power to harm evil spirits for at least half a year. Although agents can't see spirits, they should be good for self-protection. Moreover, the keepsakes that the second monk has consecrated personally are worth more than 5 million yen."

"What, five million yen?!"

Aoi Jinguji glanced at the strong Buddha light on the guns and said something lightly that left all the agents dumbfounded.

"Oh no, I forgot to bring my phone. The crew must be looking for me..."

Xia Fan slapped the back of his head and suddenly remembered something.

After saying goodbye to everyone in Lesson 9, he hurried to the crew.

……

Three hours later, the leading actors and crew members of "The Withered Chrysanthemum and the Sword" gathered in a spacious private room of the izakaya.

"Come on, come on, look at the camera!"

"It's done!"

“Cheese!”

"Hurry up, my face can't hold it tight anymore!"

Everyone sat together on the tatami, holding flowers in one hand and raising a cup in the other, smiling hard at the camera, and took the "wrap-up photo" as usual.

Because of various reasons including the previous director running away and the series' reputation collapsing, all the previous actors refused to attend the wrap party for various reasons, avoiding it like the plague. Only the production and performance team of the final episode were left in the group photo.

"Gudong, gudong, gudong, ha..."

"Although we encountered gas leaks and gangster attacks during the recent filming, and there was an earthquake just after the filming was finished, at least we were safe."

Director Nakano drank the beer in the huge hero cup and smiled with relief.

"Xia Jun, you must be my lucky star. Every time you are around, the shooting goes smoothly!"

He turned his head and slapped Xia Fan, who was sitting next to him.

"No, no, there is nothing at all..."

Xia Fan, who was drinking juice, almost choked.

The huge commotion at the botanical garden was covered up by Section 9, which cordoned off the area in the name of a "geological disaster" and reported a "small earthquake occurred near Tokyo."

He also explained it away by saying that "I encountered an earthquake while I was using the toilet, so I squatted on the toilet to take shelter on the spot and didn't bring my cell phone."

But if Director Nakano knew that, apart from the "gas leak", the crime and the earthquake were all caused by him, he would probably never ask him to film again.

“I also think that it must be fate that I met Director Nakano and Xia Jun at the end of this drama!”

"I'll drink this bottle for my initial prejudice!"

Kawasaki Airi, who was sitting across the table, raised her glass to greet Director Nakano and Xia Fan.

"Hey, that's a whole bottle of strong sake... Can a female cartoonist be such a drinker?"

"Teacher Kawasaki, could it be that the pressure from public opinion during this period is too great?"

As the two stared in amazement, Kawasaki Airi raised her head and drank the huge bottle of "Mutual Friend Beauty Sake" in one gulp.

"Hmph, although your acting skills are far inferior to mine, Xia Jun is indeed the most suitable person to play Kazama Manye."

Rika Shirakawa, who was sitting next to Xia Fan, smiled triumphantly.

Amidst a barrage of negative reviews, she finally finished filming her first drama as the leading actress, and now she feels extremely relaxed.

"Indeed, I still have a lot of shortcomings in my acting skills. I will have to continue to ask Senior Baichuan for advice in the future."

Xia Fan smiled and nodded, raising his glass to her.

"Of course! If we have a chance to act together in the future, I will continue to guide you..."

Looking into his pure eyes, Shirakawa Rika turned her head away with red ears and raised her glass to clink it perfunctorily.

Chapter 134 Broadcast Schedule

2024-07-13

“W-what? Such an unguarded smile…”

While drinking juice, Shirakawa Rika secretly glanced at Xia Fan who was happily eating the food.

"I must not be out of character yet. Don't think too much. This is just normal work..."

Every time she made eye contact with Xia Fan, she couldn't help but recall the scene on the long street when he improvised and forced her against the wall.

"cheers!"

"Boss, give me ten more Wagyu beefs!"

"Hey, that one is very expensive..."

"What are you afraid of? Director Nakano is paying for today's film. He lectured me so much on the set. I'll eat it back now!"

"Ahem, I'm still here."

If you were to ask where the people of District 11 could let down their guard and restraints, the number one place would definitely be the izakaya.

Because of the alcohol, seafood and barbecue, everyone at the table quickly relaxed and gradually became noisy.

"Everyone hold your flowers, I want to take a picture of you all!"

The photographer who had been silent on the set also became noisy under the influence of alcohol, raised his camera and started taking random photos of everyone...

"Come on, Xia Jun, look at the camera! Such attractive eyes, and perfect looks from every angle, I must take a few more photos..."

When the camera was aimed at Xia Fan, the photographer pressed the shutter button frantically.

"Ms. Shirakawa, why are you drinking juice alone? Come and take a photo with Xia Jun..."

Then he turned the camera to Rika Shirakawa who was standing beside him.

"Hey, what? I don't take photos casually."

Rika Shirakawa is still shyly refusing...

"You know, in the 'Kazama Line', Chiyo stayed with Kazama and didn't go to Ezo Island. Moreover, after the war, the two of them got married and lived a carefree life."

Kawasaki Airi, with a dazed look and reeking of alcohol, came behind the two of them at some point.

"What? There's actually a completely different plot line like this?"

"Hey, is this the point now... Mr. Kawasaki, you seem drunk?"

Xia Fan and Shirakawa Rika didn't have time to react...

"So, you two must take a photo together..."

"Just think of it as making up for the small regret that the ending of 'Kazama Line' couldn't be adapted into a live-action film!"

She had already placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed hard towards the middle.

"what!"

"Chirp?"

Caught off guard, the two looked at each other with horror, their cheeks touched each other in a squeezed and deformed posture, and even their lips were pressed together.

"Very good, this is what I want. What a loving expression!"

The photographer nearby captured this photo with a hand speed that was even more precise than when he was awake.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

After staying in this position for a moment, Xia Fan covered his mouth and leaned back.

"Damn it, there has to be a limit to joking! And you, as my assistant, why didn't you stop them!!"

Shirakawa Rika's face turned as red as a boiling kettle, and her twin ponytails stood up angrily.
