Chapter 4 The Visible Boy (3)
The ghost named Xiaotian died in a car accident half a month ago. Because he was unemployed and depressed before his death, he also had a conflict with his sister and ran outside in anger. He planned to sit in the park for a while, but ended up rushing too fast and was hit by a truck on the road. However, he did not travel to another world like other Japanese people, but died on the spot. This may have something to do with the fact that he was not a high school student. .
His sister believed that she was too willful and caused her brother's death. Since then, she locked herself in the house and refused to go to school. There are only two siblings left in their family. Now that his brother died unexpectedly, his sister is left alone, so he has been wandering around the world, trying to get his sister out of the shadows.
"Inuyama-kun, please convey my words to Riko. This is my last wish..." Oda requested.
Heita Inuyama heard the experience of the ghost in front of him, and his fear gradually decreased. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "...I understand."
"That's great." Xiaotian showed a happy smile, although this smile was quite scary when his face was covered in blood.
After Oda whispered something to Inuyama Heita, his smile gradually became transparent and finally disappeared into the alley.
Qian Xiaoyi whistled: "Hey~ He has become a Buddha. It seems that his obsession can only keep him here. So, let's go out. There are quite a lot of people dying here. There are many remnants of resentment, so it’s better not to stay here.”
“Become a Buddha. ..." Inuyama Heita murmured. In Japan, the phenomenon of ghosts disappearing after fulfilling their wishes is collectively referred to as Buddhahood by ordinary people. It is a common saying, and it is not a true upgrade to a Buddha with supreme wisdom, so Qian Xiaoyi Using this statement can make it easier for ordinary Japanese people who don’t understand anything to understand.
Inuyama Heita then remembered that there were other ghosts in the alley, and hurriedly walked out of the alley with Qian Xiaoyi.
"What happened just now...thank you." Inuyama Heita asked carefully: "Excuse me...are you an onmyoji?"
Qian Xiaoyi sneered: "Ha~ onmyoji...I actually He's a Taoist. Have you seen Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie"? It seems to be quite famous in Japan. "
"Eh? A Taoist?" Heita was a little surprised, but this also explained why the other party's accent was a little strange.
"Hmm~ This is my business card. Although you look like you don't have much money..." Qian Xiaoyi took out a business card box from his pocket and took one out and gave it to him.
Heita Inuyama took the business card and read: "Ling Kong Office...Qian Xiaoyi."
Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's right. Judging from your appearance, the yin and yang eyes were opened recently, right?"
"Yes... I suddenly fell ill a few years ago, and since then I have Some hallucinations began to appear," Inuyama Heita said: "Those hallucinations have gradually become clearer recently. Is there any way to change me back to my original appearance?"
"Well...this is a bit difficult. "Qian Xiaoyi touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "The average person does occasionally have symptoms of yin and yang eyes when they are seriously ill, but there are very few cases where yin and yang eyes persist after the illness is cured. Do you have a talent in this area? Once it is turned on, even if you forcefully turn off the suppression, you will open your eyes again after being slightly stimulated...unless you choose to become a monk in a Buddhist holy place and fast and chant scriptures every day."
"Eh...monk?" Inuyama Heita looked a little ugly: "Then at least I have to be admitted to a Buddhist college, after college...and it's a bit hard to practice hard every day..." As he said that, Inuyama Heita My stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound.
"I'm sorry..." Inuyama Heita apologized with a red face.
Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and took out a fried pork cutlet bento from the bag and handed it to Inuyama Heita: "Take it back and eat it. This is a precious half-price bento. You can't buy it elsewhere anymore. Fortunately, I bought an extra one." "Wait...I can pay you." Heita Inuyama took his wallet and opened it. Then he remembered that the miserable steel coins in the wallet had been robbed by the yellow-haired bad boy. Gone. This made Inuyama Heita's movements stiffen.
"I told you to eat, so you can eat." Qian Xiaoyi forced the lunch into Inuyama Heita's arms and said, "If you have any questions or business, you can Come to me, I haven’t had much lately anyway. It's quite a busy job, the address is on the business card, that's it, bye, Heitaro." At this time, Qian Xiaoyi's stomach began to growl, and he ran towards the office with his lunch box, wanting to hurry up. Put the bento in the microwave and eat it warm.
"...It's Heita." Inuyama Heita watched Qian Xiaoyi leave, then looked at the half-price bento in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
One day later, although Qian Xiaoyi could imagine that the Japanese kid named Heitaro Inuyama would come to see him, he did not expect that he would come the next morning. Because no one from the office came to the door at all, Qian Xiaoyi was very lazy during this period and did not open the door for business in the morning. He was woken up by the knock on the door.
Opening the door and seeing the high school student from last night outside, Qian Xiaoyi rubbed his eyes and asked, "Heitaro, aren't you going to school?"
"...Today is the weekend, and it's not Heitaro, it's Heita." Heita Inuyama said.
"Come in first." Qian Xiaoyi yawned, put Heita Inuyama in, and asked him to sit on the sofa in the living room of the office for a while.
"There is no tea, let's drink juice." Qian Xiaoyi took out a can of juice from the refrigerator and put it on the coffee table, then sat across from him and asked: "So, what do you want to do today? ? Let’s talk about it first. I was just passing by to help out yesterday. I will start charging for formal work.”
“Can I ask some questions first?” Heita Inuyama asked hesitantly.
Qian Xiaoyi looked at the other party and knew that he couldn't squeeze out any profit or water, and now he was very free, so he said generously: "Originally, the consultation fee started at 1,000 yen, and was charged by the hour, but recently Lingkong The office is offering a big reward, so I’ll give you a free consultation.”
“Is that so?” Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief, and then he suddenly asked: “Mr. Qian, you are a person. A very powerful psychic, right?”
Qian Xiaoyi smiled confidently: “That’s what I said, of course! To tell you the truth, I also visited Tokyo before. It is normal for some colleagues to be 90% liars, but the remaining 10% who can truly channel and remove spirits don’t even understand the basics of systematic knowledge. They all rely on themselves or family traditions, or They are half-assed abilities or props acquired by chance, and they have only a little knowledge. These guys are still treated as guests by some rich people. And my strength, a hundred of them combined can't compare to me, haha~ some of them People's spiritual power is not as good as yours, and they can't even see ghosts clearly."
Qian Xiaoyi's disdain is palpable. In his understanding, those half-hearted psychics in the mainland are no better than those in ancient times. The gods and goddesses in the countryside are almost the same, and they can't stand on the stage at all, let alone compared with those masters from the big sects. Even such a guy makes so much more money than him, so he is very jealous, very, jealous!
"Then..." Heita Inuyama asked with admiration: "You must have solved a lot of troublesome problems, and you have a lot of customers, right?"
——In fact, there hasn’t been a real ghost removal commission for three months.
"Uh...that's right~" Qian Xiaoyi said harshly, lacking confidence: "My firm has received orders worth millions."
< br>——Actually, Qian Xiaoyi is very satisfied just to be full.
"Sure enough!" Inuyama Heita's eyes shone. He put his hands on the table and suddenly bowed: "Please accept me and let me work here!"
