In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

[If I continue to exercise as vigorously as before, it’s hard to say how long it will take.]

This was the conclusion Ruixi came to after completing the inspection.

"That's okay, Takina."

Qianzhu held back Takina who was about to rush out, "Senior is very busy, don't bother him for such a small matter, don't cause trouble for him."

"You're going to die! Is this a small matter?!"

Takina excitedly shook off Chizuka's hand.

"Everyone dies, right?"

"I don't have time to discuss these philosophical questions with you right now. I'm going to find Senior now. He must have a way to save you!"

"Senior is a mage, not a scientist. My heart is the most advanced human technology. I'm not exaggerating."

Chizuki patted his chest proudly. "I'm worth at least 100 billion yen. 99.9 billion is all thanks to this heart. DA and the others have assembled the best scientists in the entire island nation and have been researching Super Zentraedi technology for ten years without success."

“Is this something to be proud of?”

"It's useless, Takina. Those people in the other world are only good at fighting."

Ruixi opened a can of beer. In this dull environment, only the stimulation of alcohol could make people feel a little more comfortable. "When Qianshu was young, we tried every possible means. Mika used all the connections he could get for Qianshu."

"I've contacted everyone from scientists in the outer world to Onmyojis and shrine maidens from the inner world. I even tried asking Yakumo-kun, the priestess at the Hakurei Shrine in Kyoto, but there's nothing I can do."

Ruixi downed the beer in the can, crushed it hard, and said viciously, "After that woman took all that money from us, she said that Qianshu was already dead from the perspective of the other world. He was so broken that he couldn't even do the most basic cultivation, let alone heal a heart that had long since stopped beating. Any mana or spiritual power that entered Qianshu's body was like being lost. Not only could he not be cured, but he couldn't even be maintained."

"Finally, they told us to wait, saying she was using the shape of the tea leaves left after we finished drinking our tea to tell fortunes, saying things would work out in the end. Isn't this just a random excuse these charlatans made up when they couldn't keep trying to fool us anymore?"

"Hey, I don't even know about this?"

Not only Takina and Kurumi were shocked, but Chitsuka, the person involved, was also shocked.

"You were throwing tantrums in the store every day back then, what can you possibly remember?"

Ruixi rolled her eyes at Qianshu. "Do you still remember that blonde woman who was wearing all the clothes and holding a thick parasol even though it was scorching hot a few years ago?"

"That beautiful older sister, the konpeito she gave me was super delicious!"

"Very good, it seems that you don't remember anything, but you remember other people's candy."

"Just because that person can't do it doesn't mean Senior can't do it! Senior is so powerful, there must be a way!"

Takina still refused to give up.

"Find me?"

Likoliko's door was pushed open and Ouyang Xuan walked in.

"I saw a sign saying 'Closed' on your door, but someone came in to take a look."

"senior!?"

Takina didn't expect that the enemy would appear as soon as she mentioned him, and immediately prepared to tell Ouyang Falcon about Qianshu, "Senior, can you——"

"Hey, hey, isn't this my handsome and cute senior? Welcome to Riko Riko!"

Chizuka covered Takina's mouth first.

"Yang Nai had a small party at home and asked me to go out and buy some cakes to take back."

After Ouyang Xuan explained his purpose, he also noticed that something was amiss in Liko Liko's atmosphere. "What's wrong with you guys?"

The atmosphere was so heavy that even Ouyang Xuan noticed something was wrong. It can be seen that before Ouyang Xuan entered the door, the atmosphere in Liko Liko was so heavy that it was visible to the naked eye.

"Yes, there is a very, very important matter to deal with."

Ruixi opened another can of beer. Under Chizuka's questioning gaze, which looked like a traitor, Ruixi slowly spoke, "Chizuka is constantly hiring cleaners. Now most of Riko Riko's income is going to fill the hole. Our deficit is so serious that even PricewaterhouseCoopers can't stand it!"

"That's a real problem."

Ouyang Xuan didn't feel anything. For the Ouyang Xuan Agency, whose revenue ratio was extremely exaggerated and could earn hundreds of millions of yen a day, the bulk of the costs were just bullets and gas money.

"Then what are they doing?"

Qianzu covered Takina's mouth and pulled her to the kitchen. During this time, Takina was still struggling, but under Qianzu's arm strength which far exceeded Takina's, Takina was dragged into the kitchen. Although Takina kept waving to Ouyang Xuan for help, Ouyang Xuan didn't care because he had seen such scenes several times. He thought it was just another daily fight between the two.

Chapter 2 Wagyu Sukiyaki.

After being pulled to the back kitchen, Chizuka relaxed a little bit, and Takina immediately broke free and pulled away Chizuka's hand that was covering her mouth.

"Thousands of bunches!"

"Okay, okay, I'll apologize to Takina, don't be so excited."

Chizuka picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into Takina's mouth, "Look, there are delicious strawberries."

"This is a matter concerning your life now, and the senior will definitely help us."

"Didn't Mizuki already tell me? In my situation, there's no hope for me in the other world. I'm already considered dead in the other world."

Qian Shu shrugged, "Besides, didn't Senior say before? The spells he learned were all for killing and arson. Oh, no, the spells Senior learned were all for exorcising demons. He doesn't know any healing spells."

"Then we should give it a try. It's better than staying here and waiting to die. Even if we can't cure your heart or repair an artificial heart, our predecessors' school has some methods that can prolong the life of the living. All it takes is a piece of paper on the forehead."

"Eh~"

Qianshu stretched out his voice in disgust, "Then am I still myself? Wouldn't that make me just a walking corpse?"

"It's better to die beautifully than to turn into something weird. I won't live long anyway."

"Don't talk about these things!"

Takina didn't want to hear the news about death from Chizuka's mouth.

"You two stop arguing."

Kurumi jumped onto a chair with a tablet in her hand. Kurumi hadn't appeared since the news of Chitose's attack came. Ruixi even suspected that Kurumi had escaped.

"Qianshu is not in a situation where he is doomed to die. There is still hope for a turnaround."

"Kurumi, can you fix Chitose's heart!?"

"Then you really think highly of me."

Walnut was speechless. She was a hacker, not a black god. "Qianshu's heart isn't just the one in her body. There are other ones."

Turning the tablet in his hand over, Walnut saw densely packed messages and windows on it, changing all the time, but none of that mattered. The only important information on the tablet was a video window in the middle, which showed Shinji Yoshimatsu taking a box from a researcher.

"This is a surveillance video from half a month ago. I finally found it. Inside the box Uncle Ji is holding is a new version of Qianshu's artificial heart. As long as we can find this heart and replace it with Qianshu's, she will be fine."

"Where is he now!?"

Takina said urgently.

"Still looking."

Hu Tao shook her head. "This surveillance video is the last time Uncle Ji appears. From now on, I will do my best to collect his information. Qian Shu, you must stay quiet for the next two months and avoid too much strenuous exercise."

"Great, great, this way I won't have to trouble you, Senior."

Qian Shu snapped his fingers and said, "Although I don't know what Uncle Ji is doing now, as long as I find Uncle Ji and ask him to fix my heart, everyone will be happy."

"Oh, that's not right. Kurumi, did you tell Mizuki this information?"

Qianshu thought of something.

"I only discovered this information after Ruixi reminded me. Although she drinks every day and thinks about men, her ability in intelligence is still very reliable."

"Damn it! She already had the information, but she was still trying to scare me and Takina. That's too much. I'm going to take revenge on her right now!"

Chizuka rushed out of the kitchen in a rage, ready to seek revenge on Ruixi who had just pretended to be serious and scared herself and Takina.

"Are you sure you can find Uncle Ji within two months?"

"I'm only 67% sure."

Half of her sleeves were empty, and Hu Tao's hands were able to operate the tablet through her clothes. "If we still can't find Uncle Ji in a month, no matter what Qian Shu says, we will go to Ouyang for help."

"Then why not go now?"

Takina asked in confusion: "Given your personality, you will never give up on Chizuka. You will definitely do your best to help us and Chizuka."

"Why? Girly heart, maybe."

"Girl's heart?"

"If we succeed after asking Ouyang for help, then everyone will be happy, but what if we fail?"

Hu Tao paused. "After spending so much time with Ouyang, even I know that he looks like a cold-faced man with no emotions, but that's just his expression of indifference."

"My juniors begged me for help, but I could only watch helplessly, or after failing, I watched my juniors die in front of me. This may leave an indelible psychological shadow in Ouyang's heart. Qianshu is not a super heavy girl. Even if it is a psychological shadow, I want you to remember me for the rest of your life."

"That Qianzhu guy might just want to maintain his dignity in front of the person he likes."

Walnut shook her head helplessly.

"Isn't there still a possibility of success?"

"I still have half a glass of water. I still have half a glass of water. I only have half a glass of water left."

Walnut said, "This is simply an optimistic pessimist."

"Takina!"

Qianzhu returned to the kitchen again, "Senior invited us to his house for a party, let's go quickly, Sister Yang No has already prepared sukiyaki, we can eat it directly when we get there, it's top-grade A5 Wagyu sukiyaki."

"What!? Sukiyaki with A5 Wagyu beef!"

Walnut jumped off the chair and said, "I want to eat. I want to eat too!"

"Dah!"

Chizuka crossed her arms, "Mizuki and Kurumi are staying to look after the store, so only Takina and I can go."

"It's not fair! How can this be? You guys can go eat A5 Wagyu Sukiyaki while I have to stay and watch the restaurant with that drunkard Mizuki."

"Because we are mature beautiful girls."

Qianfu pretended to be charming and played with her short hair.

"I...I'll stay too. Qianshu, you can go eat with Senior."

Takina felt that if she went to see Ouyang Falcon now, she might tell this matter in minutes. Now that she had the information that Yoshimatsu still had a heart in his hand, she would focus on this first. If Yoshimatsu was still not found after half a month, she would ask Ouyang Falcon for help. Even if she couldn't repair Qianzhu's heart, Ouyang Falcon should have a way to keep Qianzhu alive. As long as she was still alive, there would be hope.

Although Ouyang Xuan has always said that his spell points are mainly focused on attack, as a top student, Takina has also investigated the Tianshi Mansion and Taoist schools. This seemingly righteous school does have many upright and honest spells, but after Takina's investigation and study, he found that there are also some similar spells such as the Exorcism Technique and the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, which seem to be evil at first glance, but are actually righteous spells.

Even if Ouyang Xuan himself doesn't know how to do it, there must be someone in his sect who knows how to do it.

"Just leave it to Mizuki and Kurumi. Takina, you have to trust their abilities."

Chizuka didn't care about anything else and just grabbed Takina's hand and ran outside. "Takina and I are going out to play. I'll leave the store to you. Goodbye, manager."

"Oh, have a nice trip."

Mika, who had been in the kitchen, said.

"Kurumi, I'll leave the front store to Mizuki. You can continue gathering intelligence."

"Yes~"

Without the delicious meal, Hu Tao felt completely listless.

"Sukiyaki, sukiyaki, delicious wagyu sukiyaki."

Qianshu walked in front, jumping and skipping, waving the cake box in his hand non-stop, but it was as if a vertical stabilizer was installed. No matter how Qianshu's hands were shaped like a windmill, the cake box was always pointing downwards and was very stable. The cake inside was not damaged at all.

Unlike Chizuka who was walking in front happily, Takina and Ouyang Shun who were walking behind seemed very silent. They just walked in silence.

"Senior, is there something on my face?"

After Ouyang Sun looked at her again, Takina couldn't help but speak.

"Sadness and worry."

Ouyang Xuan replied: "Your face is full of these two things."

"Um……"

Takina was stunned for a moment, "Is it so obvious? It seems that I still have a long way to go in my training."

"What happened?"
