Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Ghost King Dadao.

This answer startled Li Xin, and then he heard Ghost King Da continue, "Anyway, by the time you notice, you'll be pretty much dead."

Li Xin: "..."

"The biggest characteristic of the 'Nine Chrysanthemums Sect' evil magic is that it is impossible to defend against. What does it mean to be impossible to defend against? It means that you can't defend against it at all."

Ghost King Da spoke to Li Xindao.

Is there really no way to defend against it?

Li Xin asked unwillingly.

Ghost King Da looked Li Xin up and down, then suddenly asked, "Are you... still a virgin?"

Li Xin was puzzled, but still said, "Yes, but what does it matter?"

"As long as he's a virgin."

Ghost King Da patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "Boy's urine is effective against more than 90% of evil spells. Ah Xin, the internal energy you practice is of the masculine type, so your boy's urine is even more effective. If you really encounter any evil spells, just pour your boy's urine on them and there shouldn't be any problem."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will this work?"

This sounds like the exorcism methods of a Taoist priest in the mountains; it seems so unreliable.

"Yes, it's fine, no problem. I heard this from a policeman surnamed Feng, so there's definitely no problem."

Ghost King Da guaranteed.

Li Xin glanced at Ghost King Da silently.

Even if you say it was a Taoist priest who told you, that's fine. What does a policeman know about exorcising evil spirits?

However, considering that the trial-and-error cost of this method was very low, Li Xin made a note of it and asked Ghost King Da, "Anything else?"

"It's gone."

Ghost King Da shrugged.

Seeing Li Xin shake his head, Ghost King Da patted Li Xin's shoulder again: "Relax, relax, it's alright. Ah Xin, you practice pure Yang internal energy, ordinary evil magic can't do anything to you!"

Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "What if it's a powerful evil spell?"

"Then let fate decide."

Ghost King Da shrugged.

Li Xin sighed, knowing he probably wouldn't get any more advice from Ghost King Da, and could only say, "Alright then, I understand, goodbye Uncle Da!"

Ghost King Da shook his head and said, "Young man, you come to visit your elders and then leave like this? Don't you even know how to express your gratitude?"

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers at Li Xin a few times.

Li Xin was speechless. He said, "Uncle Da, didn't I already give you money before..."

When Li Xin first visited Ghost King Da, he gave Ghost King Da several thousand Hong Kong dollars! Several thousand Hong Kong dollars!

"You ate breakfast this morning, so does that mean you don't need to eat lunch?"

Ghost King Da countered with a question.

"I can skip lunch."

Li Xin replied.

This time, it was Ghost King Da's turn to fall silent. Tsk, he's met his match this time.

After bidding farewell to Ghost King Da, Li Xin arrived at the hospital where "Chocolate" was staying. At this time, the person in front of "Chocolate's" bed was no longer "Chocolate's" good brother Chen Xiaodao, but Janet. Chen Xiaodao, who had been held tightly by "Chocolate" before, had fallen out of favor and could only lean against the corridor outside the ward, looking listless.

Well, all I can say is that brothers are like hands and feet, and wives are like clothes. "Chocolate" is a respectable person; he would rather have crippled hands than go without clothes.

Li Xin didn't want to comment on this, but he asked Long Wu, who was also waiting outside the ward, "Fifth Brother, when will Mr. Gao schedule the surgery?"

"tomorrow morning."

Long Wu remained as cold and aloof as ever, but his tone softened noticeably when speaking to Li Xin.

After the battle that night, Long Wu had come to regard Li Xin as a comrade he could rely on.

Li Xin nodded. There were too many people in the hospital. Whether from the perspective of protecting Gao Jin or not involving others, the surgery should be completed as soon as possible and they should move back to the villa.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xin went to the nurses' station, asked the nurse for two medical spray bottles, and then went to the restroom. When Li Xin came out, the two empty spray bottles in his hand were full.

Before returning to the ward, Li Xin handed the two spray bottles to Long Wu and Chen Xiaodao, saying to them, "If you encounter anything strange, spray it with these."

Fearing that Long Wu and Chen Xiaodao might have psychological issues, Li Xin did not tell them what was in the spray bottle.

According to Ghost King Da, some evil spells are preceded by strange omens. If a child's urine is poured on the affected area at this time, the evil spell may be broken.

"it is good."

Long Wu nodded. He and Li Xin were comrades-in-arms, and he trusted Li Xin quite a bit. Although he didn't believe in those supernatural things, he still accepted it. Chen Xiaodao was different. He didn't even know who Li Xin was. He only knew that Li Xin was Crocodile's partner. But who was Crocodile? A conman. Could a conman's partner be trusted? Chen Xiaodao expressed his doubts.

However, Li Xin looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, so although Chen Xiaodao was having some doubts, he still agreed with "okay, okay" out loud. That's called knowing your place.

"Don't use it indiscriminately either."

Li Xin reminded the two of something else. He didn't want the place to smell like urine everywhere. Even though it was his own urine, it was still disgusting!

Long Wu and Chen Xiaodao assumed that Li Xin said this because the item was valuable, so they both agreed.

That night, Chen Xiaodao, who was keeping watch outside the ward, was drowsy, but Li Xin and Long Wu were still very energetic—neither of them were ordinary people, and they could go without sleep for several days and nights without any problem, so staying up for one night was of course no problem for them.

After putting "Chocolate" to sleep, Janet went to prepare a midnight snack for her. The surgery was tomorrow morning, and she had to fast for more than eight hours before the surgery. So Janet planned to give "Chocolate" something to eat before midnight to fill her stomach. Otherwise, given "Chocolate's" childlike mentality, she might throw a tantrum.

Shortly after Janet left, Gao Yi suddenly arrived at the ward and said to Li Xin and Long Wu, "I need to go in and see Brother Jin. Please make way."

Li Xin and Long Wu exchanged a glance and stepped aside to let Gao Yi in. There was no other way; Gao Yi was Gao Jin's cousin, and in terms of relationship, he was even closer to Gao Jin than Janet, who hadn't married him yet. Li Xin and Long Wu had no reason to stop Gao Yi from seeing Gao Jin.

"Mr. Gao is asleep, please try not to make any noise."

Li Xin gave Gao Yi a reminder.

"I know."

Gao Yi casually replied and then entered the ward.

Upon entering the ward, Gao Yi gazed at "Chocolate," who was lying asleep on the hospital bed with a childlike, innocent sleeping face, and his expression became complicated.

This afternoon, a muscular man approached Gao Yi and gave him one million dollars, asking him to do something very simple: get a tuft of hair from Gao Jin for him.

Although Gao Jin is known as the "God of Gamblers" and has many admirers around the world, with countless people wanting his autograph and photos, asking for his hair, especially for a staggering one million US dollars, is clearly not something an ordinary person would do. Given the current situation, anyone who isn't a fool, Gao Yi, would surely see through the scheme. But Gao Yi didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

First, one million dollars is simply too much, so much that most people in the world cannot refuse it. At that price, let alone cutting off a clump of hair, even cutting off one's own father, I believe many people would rush to do it.

Furthermore, if the person who wants this tuft of hair intends to harm Gao Jin... wouldn't that be even better!

Gao Yi walked towards the "chocolate" and murmured to himself: Brother Jin, I'm sorry, it would be so much better if you could be a fool for the rest of your life!

When it comes to finding someone, luck is sometimes more important than connections and power. On the first day of Gao Jin's disappearance, Ueyama Hiroji and Ryugo set out to look for Gao Jin. Both of them were more capable and powerful than Gao Yi, but in the end, Gao Yi found Gao Jin first.

Perhaps it was because Gao Yi knew Gao Jin too well that he felt that gambling would be an indispensable part of Gao Jin's life. So he sent his underlings to keep an eye on casinos and gambling dens all over Hong Kong. As a result, they found "Chocolate" who had been dragged to gamble by Chen Xiaodao.

Although "Chocolate" has lost his memories of being Ko Chun, his instincts as the "God of Gamblers" still allow him to remain invincible at the gambling table. Therefore, the people Ko Yee sent out quickly informed him of "Chocolate's" existence. Ko Yee went to confirm it himself and found that "Chocolate" was indeed Ko Chun.

Logically, Gao Yi should have taken "Chocolate" back as soon as he found it, but after confirming that "Chocolate" was mentally impaired, Gao Yi had a different idea.

If, if Ko Chun were "Chocolate" for his entire life, could he then monopolize everything about Ko Chun and enjoy everything he has?

Once this thought popped into his head, it began to haunt Gao Yi like a demon. So, after finding "Chocolate," Gao Yi did not immediately notify Ueyama Hiroji and Ryugo. Instead, he sent people to secretly monitor "Chocolate" and Chen Xiaodao.

Gao Yi didn't want "Chocolate" to go back, but out of his long-standing respect for his cousin, he didn't have the courage to kill "Chocolate," so he could only drag it out as long as he could.

After that, Gao Yi changed. Just as Crocodile had said before, Gao Yi became domineering and acted as if he were the master, issuing orders. In his heart, he was already planning to inherit everything from Gao Jin after Gao Jin's passing.

However, he forgot, or perhaps could ignore, one issue: Ko Chun's status and position were entirely derived from his ability as the "God of Gamblers." The "God of Gamblers" was not just a title, but an affirmation of Ko Chun's ability. Without Ko Chun, even if Ko Yee possessed all of Ko Chun's wealth, Janet would not like him or marry him, Ko Chun's friends would not consider Ko Yee a friend, and Ueyama Hiroji would not even glance at Ko Yee.

Even during the time when Gao Jin was not around, Gao Yi was actually enjoying the halo that Gao Jin brought. Otherwise, would Long Wu have been able to tolerate a single harsh word from him?

But Gao Yi didn't care about any of that. He thought that he could turn the tables and become the big brother after Gao Jin was gone. He really enjoyed the days without Gao Jin's oppression. But then, the little swindler Chen Xiaodao had a change of heart and didn't want to use "chocolate" to win money anymore. Instead, he treated Gao Yi like his own younger brother and even wanted to treat his illness. Gao Yi couldn't just sit idly by anymore.

But as mentioned before, Gao Yi didn't dare to lay a hand on his long-established and powerful cousin. So, he made contact with "Gambling King" Chen Jincheng and told him about Gao Jin. Chen Jincheng was extremely wary of Gao Jin and, without any hesitation, immediately sent assassins to hunt down "Chocolate" and Chen Xiaodao.

If Chen Xiaodao hadn't run into Crocodile, and Crocodile hadn't informed Li Xin, Gao Jin might have really been in grave danger.

Brother Jin, why did you revert to your old ways? If you revert, I'll become your henchman again, and I, Gao Yi, don't want to be your henchman anymore. So, please just die!

After you die, your girlfriend Janet and the fifteen million dollars in your Swiss bank account will all be mine, so please just die!

As his resentment towards Gao Jin deepened, Gao Yi took out a pair of scissors and slowly approached Gao Jin. Although he was preparing to cut off a clump of Gao Jin's hair, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to stab Gao Jin to death with the scissors.

However, Gao Yi ultimately did not make a move. It wasn't that he had a change of heart, but rather that Li Xin and Long Wu were guarding the door. If he made even the slightest noise, those two ruthless men outside would tear him to pieces.

Therefore, Gao Jin chose to only cut off a tuft of his hair and did not kill him.

"Gao Yi, what are you doing pointing scissors at Ah Jin?"

A voice sounded from behind. Gao Yi immediately pulled his hair back and chuckled dryly at Janet, who was holding the insulated box, saying, "It's nothing. I just noticed that Brother Jin's hair was a bit long, so I trimmed it for him. You know, sometimes when Brother Jin finds his hair too long and doesn't have time to get a haircut, he asks me to trim it for him like this!"

Is that true?

Janet recalled that she didn't recall such a thing happening, but Gao Yi and Gao Jin had undoubtedly spent more time together than she had. Perhaps this happened before Gao Jin and she met.

Seeing that Gao Jin was still sleeping soundly and did not seem to be hurt at all, and that there were indeed only some stray hairs on his pillow, Janet reluctantly believed Gao Yi's explanation and said to Gao Yi, "Jin is going to have surgery tomorrow, so let's talk about cutting his hair tomorrow."

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I just saw that Brother Jin's hair was getting long and I couldn't resist the urge to cut it. It's not like I had to cut it."

Janet glanced at Gao Yi and said to him, "Yi, Jin needs to rest. Don't leave too many people in the ward. You should leave. I'll take care of Jin."

He cursed Janet in his heart, but smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Janet, I'll leave it to you to take care of Brother Jin."

After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Yi took a deep breath as he walked out of the ward, clutching a clump of hair tightly in his hand.

Although I don't know what you want to do with Brother Jin's hair, you'd better be strong and make Brother Jin die quickly!

Gao Yi shouted in his heart.

Chapter 55 The best defense is offense!

Inside a Japanese-style room, Togo Miyoko was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror when she sensed Fujita approaching. She asked softly, "Did you get it?"

"Yes, boss."

Fujita handed a tuft of hair to Togo Miyoko, who turned and took the hair into her hand, then laughed: "That bodyguard next to Ueyama is indeed a bit troublesome. With him protecting Gao Jin, a direct attack might not be successful. However, the magic of my 'Nine Chrysanthemums School' is exquisite and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. With just this tuft of Gao Jin's hair, I can use it to communicate with Gao Jin and control his life and death. In that case, what can that bodyguard do, no matter how powerful he is?"

"The boss is brilliant!"

Fujita lowered his head and said.

"There's no time to lose, prepare quickly, I'm about to begin the spell!"

Miyoko Togo said to Fujita.

"Yes, Boss!"

Fujita obeyed and left.

Meanwhile, Gao Jin had already completed his surgery. Thanks to his "money power," Gao Jin not only completed the surgery at the fastest speed, but the surgeon was also the most famous expert in the field in Hong Kong. He assured Hiroji Ueyama and Janet that Gao Jin's postoperative recovery would be very fast and that there would be no sequelae.

After the surgery, "Chocolate" was still under the effects of anesthesia and remained unconscious. Janet stayed by his side to take good care of him.

Chen Xiaodao leaned against the corridor outside the ward with his arms crossed, his expression solemn.

Chen Xiaodao was naturally happy that his idol was about to wake up, but Gao Jin's recovery meant the disappearance of "Chocolate". The thought of losing his silly younger brother "Chocolate" made Chen Xiaodao feel a little lost and sad.

Moreover, according to the tropes in the TV dramas he had watched, in such situations, once Gao Jin regains his memory, he usually forgets the memories from the period of amnesia, which would mean that he and Gao Jin would become like strangers, making Chen Xiaodao feel even worse.

Oh well, being able to be brothers with the "God of Gamblers" for a while is something that countless people would envy. What else could I possibly regret?

Chen Xiaodao scratched his head and quickly accepted reality. It can only be said that as a professional gambler who has repeatedly lost and tried again in casinos, Chen Xiaodao has a strong ability to adjust his mentality. This is perhaps his only advantage besides his appearance.

Suddenly, a scream came from the ward. Chen Xiaodao snapped back to his senses, but before he could react, Li Xin and Long Wu had already rushed into the ward.

"What happened?!"

Long Wu shouted loudly, and then Janet collapsed to the ground, pointing in utter panic at Gao Jin, who was struggling on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Gao Jin looked as if someone was choking him. His face was purple, his eyes were bulging out, and his tongue was sticking out. Even with Li Xin's sharp eyesight, he could vaguely see a dent around Gao Jin's neck, as if he were really being choked by an invisible hand.

This bizarre scene completely stunned Long Wu. He had fought in the Vietnam War and had killed many people under his command. No matter how brutal the scene was, it couldn't intimidate him, but he had never seen such a bizarre scene before.

Li Xin reacted immediately. He knew this must be the evil magic of the "Nine Chrysanthemums Sect". Without saying a word, he snatched the spray bottle from Long Wu's hand and sprayed it on Gao Jin's neck.

On the other side, Togo Miyoko was pinching her pet white cat with one hand. The white cat struggled incessantly, its eyes filled with confusion, not understanding why its human, who was usually so gentle with it and always played with it, was suddenly treating it like this.

Faced with the white cat's struggle, Togo Miyoko showed no pity, but rather a cruel smile.
