I paid too much for Feiwuluo

"What's your name, sir?"

"Kusanagi."

OK, a surname I've never heard of before.

Linghuan Xinlong heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes quickly swept across the smiling face of the other party, but he still didn't completely let go of his guard.

After all, it's not like he hasn't experienced being visited by plainclothes police before.

What those plainclothes policemen have in common with the man in front of them is that they will start to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the inside of this "counseling office" from the moment they step through the door.

Their eyes are like X-rays, making Linghuan Xinlong nervous, but at the same time, he has to give himself the hint of "I am a good citizen" in his mind.

You can only fool others when you fool yourself—this is the highest level of a fraudster.

So far, Linghuan Xinlong has relied on this "frank and fearless" attitude to get through the investigation and rectification time and time again.

It wasn't until [Linghuan Talking Office] was included in the white list of the police that this kind of similar experience finally disappeared [temporarily] from Linghuan Xinlong's career.

Yes, temporarily.

As a professional fraudster, Ling Huan Xinlong has always been aware that the work he is doing is not a good thing, and this is also the reason why he will have a psychological burden right now.

The police, or a rich man who has nothing to do to have fun—the guest in front of him is most likely one of the two.But no matter which one he is, he is not the person Linghuan Xinlong wants to meet in the chat room.

Needless to say why I didn't want to see the police.

And the rich people who have nothing to do to have fun are simply displeased by Ling Huan Xinlong.Because it is difficult to make money for such people, and it is not easy to be fooled.

What's more, it's not that Linghuan Xinlong has never seen the kind of guy who puts on the waiter just because of how much money he has.

However, Ling Huan Xinlong, as an old fritter who has been struggling in the society for many years, and the burden is the burden, he still asked the other party without changing his face: "May I ask what you want to entrust?"

"I heard that you can accept the entrustment of removing spirits here." The young man withdrew his gaze from the blinds behind Linghuan Xinlong—his gaze stayed there for too long, almost making Linghuan Xinlong unable to bear it Turn your head to see what's on the unremarkable shutter.

Although from what the other party said, it sounds like he came here to entrust the work of eliminating spirits, but based on Linghuan Xinlong's many years of experience (fraud) in the industry, he thinks that he still cannot let go of his guard so quickly.

Although he can't see the curse spirit, he knows that there are indeed such "things" that cannot be explained by science in the world, and he also knows that people who are really entangled by the curse spirit will appear suspicious, shoulder pain, limb pain, etc. over time. "Symptoms" such as heaviness and extremely low mood.

Because the curse spirit has caused a lot of trouble to these people's daily life, and will be in a state of panic all day long because of these supernatural events that happen to them and around them,

And when they rushed to the doctor like headless flies and threw them into the gate of the Phantom Office, those wounded hearts who were restless, helpless, and most of their defense lines had been destroyed were all the people who could be fooled by Xinlong Phantom. A super important prerequisite for success!

—That’s right, this guy definitely didn’t come here for a commission.

Thinking about this point clearly, Ling Huan Xinlong calmed down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party: "We do have several despiritual packages to choose from here—"

Before he could finish speaking, the guest named Kusanagi Izumo reached out and took out the price list of the spirit removal package from the side of Linghuan Xinlong's desk.

"Trial package A, the event price is 2000 yen, which can expel 20% of the curse; the serious package B, the event price is 5000 yen, which can expel 50% of the curse; the full package C, the event price is 12000 yen, which can expel 99% of the curse... Can exorcising curse spirits be divided into stages? This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.”

Kusanagi Izumo read out the package information on the paper in a calm tone.

However, probably due to the other party's overly indifferent attitude, Linghuan Xinlong always has a feeling that his shame level is about to break through the threshold - it's like reading a novel he wrote in the second period of middle school many years later, and being read aloud out.Hearing this, the subject of Linghuan Xinlong experienced a scalp tingling for a long time.

"Ah... well, of course there are grades!" Ling Huan Xinlong covered his mouth and coughed, and forcibly pulled back the aura that had gradually declined during the public execution.

Losers can't lose!Linghuan Xinlong, you have to cheer up!

What's more, this guy looks like a complete winner in life!Then you can't lose! ! !

Ling Huan Xinlong took a deep breath, just at this time the former super magic spirit dimple came back from outside, he immediately slapped the table, raised his hand aggressively: "Although you may not be able to see it, but the green one over there The mantra spirit is the best example!"

"This curse spirit used to be a special curse spirit possessed by the leader of the [Smiling Sect], but because it was defeated by my disciples, it changed from the original humanoid shape to the current one that looks like a disgusting balloon .”

"Linghuan, who do you think looks like a disgusting balloon?!" The little dimple gasped with anger.

Ling Huan Xinlong turned a deaf ear to this, and continued to explain: "There is nothing in this world that can be done [-]%, let alone a species that cannot be explained by science. And this is what I am willing to share with you." To be honest, except for a few super-level magicians in our industry, no one dares to boast about such things as completely expelling superiors and super-level magic spirits——of course, their charging price must be more than that Clicked."

As he spoke, he felt more and more that his acting skills at this moment were so sincere that even ghosts could be fooled.

"If I want, of course I can say to you very irresponsibly, 'I can guarantee 100% exorcising the curse spirit', anyway, you can't see the curse spirit. But that kind of statement really makes my conscience feel bad.

"Although I am a spiritual master, I am also a businessman. If a businessman wants to gain a foothold in this society, the best way is to be honest and establish a good relationship with customers—you said right?"

Ling Huan Xinlong spoke so clearly that he almost shed his tears.

Ignoring the little dimples who were frantically rolling their eyes at him, he pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then lifted his eyelids under the cover of his palms to see Kusanagi Izumo's expression.

Unexpectedly, not only was the other party not moved by his "heartfelt words", but the smile on his face was deeper than when he first entered the door and took a seat.

——It's over, why can't this person even play the emotional card?

Don't really be a policeman who has evidence, can you?

Ling Huan Xinlong started to beat a drum in his heart, but soon he forced himself to calm down again.

No, not right.

he thinks.

If the other party was really the policeman who had the evidence, he should have been taken back to the police station by now.

What's more, the police who are in charge of investigating and dealing with fraud cases are probably not free enough to sit here and listen to him.

calm down!

The enemy doesn't move, I don't move!

"If you don't know which package to choose, you can tell me the situation first." Linghuan Xinlong put on a business smile again, "It is also possible to analyze the situation first, and then choose a package according to the strength of the spell."

"I'm sorry, but I actually don't have anything to entrust you with exorcism." Kusanagi Izumo said suddenly after being silent for a long time.

really!

He knew that a person in such a peaceful state must not have encountered a curse spirit!

Ling Huan Xinlong's eyes immediately became sharp.

Cops, rich guys who have nothing to do to have fun – which one is it? !

"I took the liberty of visiting because my daughter was here by herself yesterday."

daughter?

Alice?

So...he's Alice's dad?

After ignoring the fact that Alice didn't have a surname Kusanagi, Linghuan Xinlong suddenly understood everything.

No wonder Alice's tutor is so good.

There is a parent who just looks at the door and sits down to ask carefully instead of dragging the child in and questioning him hysterically. It is a ghost who can teach a child who is messy.

He glanced at Kusanagi Izumo gratefully and approvingly.

Although Alice had been told not to tell her parents about her part-time job at the chat office, fortunately, the child's not tight-lipped was also expected by Ling Huan Xinlong.

When he decided to let Alice stay and work yesterday, Linghuan Xinlong had already thought about what to say when his parents came to him.

"This is Mr. Kusanagi, my daughter—"

Qianjin asked herself to stay here.She is your daughter, and you should know better than anyone that she is a little stubborn little guy.Yesterday's promise to keep her here to work is entirely an expedient measure for me to hope that she can go home quickly. If it's not true, you don't have to take it seriously.What's more, it's the 21st century now, which scumbag would actually hire child labor hahahahahaha...

--above.

"She can stay with you."

"...Eh?" Ling Huan Xinlong was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"She can stay with you after school." Kusanagi Izumo repeated patiently.

Linghuan Xinlong: "???"

But listening to it again is still amazing! ! !

"I can even pay you in reverse." The young and handsome man looked at him with a smile, "as long as you are willing to help her with her homework after school. In terms of hourly wages, how about 2000 yen an hour?"

Linghuan Xinlong: "???"

Earn the price of using package A for an hour, is there such a good thing in the world? ? ?

"However, I have a request."

"Say it, say it!" Ling Huan Xinlong rubbed his hands excitedly.

"While she is here, please draw that shutter open."

Ling Huan Xinlong agreed straightforwardly, but still couldn't bear curiosity, and asked one more question: "May I ask if the window is opened to let Qianjin get more sunshine? If it is for this, I can take her to the park—— "

"Ah, no." Kusanagi Izumo interrupted him, "It's because there are several surveillance cameras on the opposite floor, which can see the situation inside your office."

Linghuan Xinlong: "..."

He felt as if he had heard something terrible.

What family? ? ?

The surveillance cameras on the upstairs opposite, if he remembered correctly, the opposite building is a chain of large shopping malls, right? !

"Ah, I didn't open that mall." As if seeing what he was thinking, Kusanagi Izumo said, "It's just a little trick to temporarily borrow those cameras for a while."

Linghuan Xinlong: "..."

means?

What means? ? ?

Don't tell him it's a super hacker like in "Mission: Impossible"? !

However, this time, Kusanagi Izumo did not reveal any more.

He just stood up, stretched out his hand, and said to Linghuan Xinlong: "Thank you for the cold medicine you gave her yesterday. Otherwise, this child will probably catch a cold again today."

Ling Huan Xinlong quickly followed suit and shook hands with the other party.

"Should be..."

When he said this, the previous slickness faded from the fraudster's face.It's rare to show some seriousness.

Well, he really is a nice guy.

Kusanagi Izumo thought happily.

Compared to letting Alice walk around by herself every day, it is better to find her a place she likes and let her stay in peace.

Alice's second day of winter vacation, her first day on the job.

The two hours from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. were spent smoothly.

The little girl who was dressed as a newsboy by her father was sitting obediently on the small sofa of the Phantom Talking Center. She had just read half of the picture book in her hand when she heard the dear Phantom Teacher say, "Alice, you can get off work now." oh."

Huh?

Does time go that fast?

She took out her children's mobile phone and checked the time.

17: 00.

Not much, not much.

Alice had no choice but to put the picture book she brought from home into the little bear's backpack, walked to Linghuan Xinlong's desk and asked, "Can I see 'Brother Longtao' tomorrow? Master."

"It depends on whether there is any business coming tomorrow." Linghuan Xinlong said.

After all, his first disciple, Shigeo Kageyama, earns 300 yen an hour, and if he asks him to exorcise the curse, he has to pay extra, which is completely different from Alice, who has her parents subsidizing her living expenses.

What's more, the child is old and has his own life, so he can't always call people casually.

Suddenly feeling melancholy, Linghuan Xinlong took out two 100 yen coins, put them into Alice's palm, and then touched the little guy's head: "Don't stay on the road for too long, go directly to the bus stop downstairs Did you hear back home?"

"Understood!" Alice nodded seriously.

"Good boy, see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye Master!"

"Be careful!"

After Linghuan Xinlong finished speaking with a smile, he picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the back of Alice leaving, and sent it to Izumo Kusanagi via LINE.

And just 10 minutes after this photo was sent out, Alice, who was only watched away by Linghuan Xinlong, actually went back.

Just when he was about to ask Alice if she forgot something from the chat room, he realized that the little girl seemed to be holding someone by her raised hand.

The person holding her hand walked slowly from the corridor to the door, only then did Linghuan Xinlong see that it was a tall man in a blue uniform with a sword at his waist.

Unlike the easy-going Kusanagi Izumo, the man holding Alice's hand looks like a sharp knife.

His icy scrutiny looked through the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses and scanned every inch of the Linghuan chat room.

Then he pushed his glasses slightly, looked down at Alice, and said with a smile, "Is this where you 'work'? Zhou Fang, kid."

I don't know if it is the illusion of Xinlong Linghuan.

He seems to have heard this man pronounce the word "work" very emphatically...
