Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 60: Disguise and Intelligence

I don’t know what Kazuo Kawamoto was thinking about. In response to Yang Liu’s questions, he said a lot in a very eloquent manner, accompanied by various complaints.

But thanks to him, Yang Liu also learned a lot of information related to the supernatural.

For example, Kazuo Kawamoto's strength comes from family inheritance. According to him, he belongs to the "rikishi" lineage, which is a branch of sumo.

Like sumo wrestlers, the main source of a wrestler's fighting power is his strong body, and his characteristics are great strength and endurance.

However, this characteristic is of no use in modern society. Under the influence of hot weapons, modern warfare requires an agile body and extremely fast reaction speed. Strength is not the top priority - it is enough as long as you can pull the trigger and hold the gun.

The huge body and inflexible movements of the strongman became his biggest weaknesses, and he would only be treated as a sitting duck on the battlefield.

It is also for this reason that the lineage of Rei Shi will probably disappear forever in a few generations.

"In fact, the major forces in Fukuoka were not as clearly divided as they are now. I remember when I was a child, my father took me to participate in the annual exchange meeting of various forces in Fukuoka. The candy given by the shrine maiden at that time was really delicious..."

Although he was talking about candy, Yang Liu had already judged from this guy's micro-expression that he was probably thinking about the witch at that time.

I chuckled in my heart. It seems that even a gangster boss like this has his own "white moonlight".

"But I don't know since when, the forces in Fukuoka have gradually become cold to each other, and the exchange meetings that were held every year have also stopped..." Kazuo Kawamoto shook his head and sighed.

His intuition told him that this information seemed very important, so he put the thoughts in his mind aside for the time being. Yang Liu looked at Kazuo Kawamoto, recalling the scene he had seen when he was hunting ghosts in Tokyo before, and deliberately showed a puzzled look:
"To be honest, Fukuoka is a bit strange. I remember that when I was in Tokyo, all the major forces would communicate with each other, and basically they would cooperate with the authorities..."

"This..." Kazuo Kawamoto shook his head hesitantly, "To be honest, I'm not very clear about it. The old man is very secretive about it and has never told me anything related to it. Even if I asked him, he would not answer at all.

However, for this reason, there are actually quite a few so-called forbidden areas in Fukuoka. It is said that there are monsters that appear because they cannot be dealt with in time. Brother, as a psychic, if you are interested, you can go and have a look, but I don’t recommend it. After all, many deaths have occurred in those places..."

……

……

The two chatted until late at night, and the banquet was about to end.

When he came out, Kazuo Kawamoto was already drunk and was helped out of the restaurant by Yang Liu. Before he got in the car, he was still making promises to Yang Liu:
"Brother Yang, don't worry. As long as you are in Fukuoka, just tell me if you need anything in the future! I have worked here for so many years, so I still have some capital..."

Yang Liu casually agreed while she and the bodyguard sent him to the car. Looking at the car driving away, Yang Liu's face, which was originally full of smiles, gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Kazuo Kawamoto, who was drunk when he was put into the car, sobered up immediately after the car started, and there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

The reason why the "Lishi" lineage is now in decline is that the fighting skills and training methods inherited are purely physical strength.

But precisely because the wrestler has a strong enough body, not to mention alcohol, even most toxic substances cannot cause harm to him, so it is naturally impossible for him to show symptoms of drunkenness.

"Is he from Tokyo? Although he's a foreigner, he came to Fukuoka at this critical moment... It seems that he is an investigator sent by the Tokyo authorities. Is he planning to disguise himself as a psychic to conduct a secret investigation?" After recalling the information he had obtained from the other party and the things he had deduced, Kazuo Kawamoto showed a proud smile:
"Although he handled the situation very well and disguised himself well, he still revealed his purpose so quickly. He is still too young!"

……

……

"…I'm still too young! I guess that's what Kawamoto thinks of me."

Yang Liu was carrying a suitcase in her hands, humming an unknown tune as she walked towards the subway.

"What a pity. No matter what you think, my real purpose has been achieved."

From the beginning to the end, Yang Liu's real purpose was to collect intelligence about the supernatural world while trying not to reveal his identity as a newcomer. As for using an alias and making money, they were just incidental things.

So no matter what Kazuo Kawamoto was thinking, the moment he determined that Yang Liu was "disguising and obtaining intelligence", he had actually automatically regarded Yang Liu as a "veteran".

Strictly speaking, Yang Liu was indeed disguising himself and obtaining intelligence, but the two sides' perceptions were vastly different.

“Unfortunately, in order not to expose my true situation, although I have obtained a lot of good intelligence, I have lost the more basic intelligence about the extraordinary forces.

But Kazuo Kawamoto seems to have treated me as an investigator. It seems that the relationship between the supernatural forces in Fukuoka and Tokyo is not very good. "

Yang Liu summarized the intelligence she had obtained: "Fortunately, he has identified me as an investigator, which is also a good thing. This way, this guy should not say any false information, but will probably only use some useless information to fool me."

However, for someone like Yang Liu, even these bits and pieces of information are enough for him to gain a lot.

For example: Information about three stages of ghosts.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many third-stage ghosts that weren't dealt with and were just left hiding in a certain area... How is this any different than letting a treasure chest run around?!"

Of course, Yang Liu was also very clear that those third-stage ghosts that had not been dealt with were either extremely powerful or had excellent hiding abilities.

Otherwise, even if it is useless to other professions, beings like Onmyoji will definitely find ways to recruit it as a Shikigami.

"But there are so many third-stage ghosts that cannot be dealt with in time. It seems that the relationship between the supernatural forces in Fukuoka and the local officials is also quite bad. It is exactly the opposite of Tokyo."

After all, when the third-stage ghost first appeared, it could be dealt with by just a gun. The fact that so many third stages were missed shows that there is no cooperation between the official and the supernatural forces.

Kazuo Kawamoto said that the supernatural forces in Fukuoka basically do not contact each other and each takes care of its own business.

But judging from his other descriptions, the supernatural forces in this city should only be maintaining a tacit understanding for some reason, and are not in a hostile state.
