"I need to go to the scene first. Without seeing any lingering aura, I can't jump to conclusions." Closing his notebook, Ouyang Sun could only offer a rough conclusion. "According to what these four ladies said, the cup simply hit someone that day. Afterward, the store manager announced a temporary evacuation due to an incident. The subsequent inspection didn't reveal anything unusual."

"I have two theories. One is that this is a spirit or monster that likes the band and is playing a prank. The other is that this is a newborn spirit experimenting with its own power. I don't know if it will use this power to harm others in the future."

"Well, Amano, based on your one month's experience, what do you think?" Ouyang Jun asked Haruna a question. Haruna, who had been with him for a month and had dealt with some supernatural events, also had a certain amount of knowledge about supernatural events.

"Hmm, should I judge?" Haruna pinched her chin, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Could it be a group of spirits who really love music? They picked up the cups to cheer for the Ijichi ladies on the stage, but Pochi... But when Miss Goto saw the cups flying all over the place, she froze and stopped playing. Then the spirits angrily threw the cups onto the stage in protest."

"This is just my random guess. President, don't take it seriously. Haha, this is just a setting in an animation I watched with my brother."

"Cups flying all over the sky?"

"It's a ghost who loves music and will continue to listen to it even after death." Hina said unhappily.

"Where's the president?" Hina asked. "I've never seen the president listen to music in the office. Does he know anything about music or rock music?"

"Rock..." Ouyang Sun said, "I listen to rock music, but it's mostly songs from mainland China decades ago, like Glory Days and Like You. I don't really have a deep understanding of music."

[Shimokitazawa! We've arrived at Shimokitazawa Station! Passengers getting off the train, please prepare.]

The station announcement sounded, Ouyang Sun and Yang Cai packed up their things and walked towards the Fanxing Concert Hall according to the address left by Hong Xia.

There isn't much else in Shimokitazawa, but there are an outrageous number of concert halls and bands. Ouyang Sun didn't know how many concert halls he had seen along the way, but none of them were the destination of his trip.

Since there are so many bands, it is natural that there are also many scouts here. From the exit of the subway station to the entrance of Fanxing, Ouyang Xuan sent away several groups of scouts for Yang Cai. Some scouts came to look for Ouyang Xuan, but Ouyang Xuan didn't even look at them and walked past them.

"This is it, the Starry Concert Hall."

Looking at the address in her hand, Yang Cai confirmed that it was the sign on the roadside.

"It's a spirit." Ouyang Falcon came to this conclusion while standing in front of the staircase leading to the Starry Sky. "And just like what you said, Amano, it's not just one spirit, but a group of spirits. Judging from the traces they left behind, these spirits came even when the door was closed."

There was a notice posted on the wall next to the Fanxing sign, saying that the owner of Fanxing was traveling and had no time to open the store, so the store would be closed for a few days.

"Let me contact Ms. Ijichi. It's not even opening time yet. Let me see if we need to wait outside or what."

Hina took out her cell phone and was about to call the number Hongxia had left a few days ago. She glanced at the place where Ouyang Xuan had just stood and found that he was gone. Hina was so scared that she looked up and saw Ouyang Xuan who had already walked to the door of Fanxing.

"President, it's not business hours yet." Hina hurried over and saw Ouyang Sun naturally push open the door and walk in.

"Welcome." Ichichi Hoshige, the store manager of Fanxing and Hongxia's sister, sat behind the bar, apparently checking the number of drinks. "It's not open yet, but you can sit for a while. It's only half an hour away."

"Ouyang Xuan, the exorcist hired by Miss Ichichi Hongxia." Ouyang Xuan introduced himself straight to the point.

"Oh~~" Xingge stopped what he was doing after hearing Ouyang Xuan's words, "Are you the super powerful exorcist that Hong Xia told me she found?"

"That girl is really something. Although it is indeed a supernatural incident, she didn't even discuss it with me before calling in an exorcist. I didn't expect you to actually come here just because of a little kid." Xing Ge looked at Ouyang Xuan strangely. "That girl didn't even seem to give you the deposit. Aren't you afraid this is a prank? You made a wasted trip on a weekday."

"I trust my assistant's judgment." Ouyang Xuan found a seat for himself at the bar.

"This is just a small concert hall, and I can't afford to pay the salary of an exorcist who is treated as a guest of honor by the powerful people in Tokyo."

As a hidden sister-con, Ijichi Xingge is also a reliable adult. Naturally, it is impossible for him to trust a person whose background he has no idea about just because of a word from his lovely sister. After learning Ouyang Xuan's name and the name of the agency from Hongxia, Xingge also investigated. The result was similar to Kita's. He could only get some useless information such as "2B is really handsome" from forums and Twitter.

One skill that adults need to learn is to call on people. Since Hongxia knew about Ouyang Xuan because she overheard the conversation between her father and the people from the Shinomiya family, and then she felt at ease to go find Ouyang Xuan with Xiduo, and since one of the sources of the information was her father, it would be much easier to solve the problem.

Hongxia and Xingge tacitly agreed not to tell their father about what happened in the concert hall, so when Mr. Yidizhi received a call from his eldest daughter asking about Ouyang Xuan, the first thing he did was to ask her earnestly how she knew about Ouyang Xuan, as if his daughter had someone she liked.

After briefly explaining something half-heartedly, Mr. Ijichi told his eldest daughter all the information he knew about Ouyang Xuan.

[A top exorcist from the mainland! ]

[A distinguished guest of the Shinomiya family, a man whom Shinomiya Yanan wants to win over even at the cost of his own daughter! ]

[A superb exorcist who even the rich and powerful can't even meet once! ]

[Ryutake Office is far more reliable than Hakurei Shrine! ]

[The tax paid by an exorcist on a single commission is more than the average person's annual salary! ]

The above information was compiled by Xingge from his father. Generally speaking, Ouyang Falcon is a top-level exorcist with a high appearance price, which is required even by Optimus Prime companies like the Shinomiya Zaibatsu.

"Rich people have their own rates, and ordinary people have their own rates." Ouyang Xuan opened his wallet, took out a bill and placed it on the bar, "Give me a glass of rice wine."

"What a strange fellow." Xingge shook her head and poured a cup of rice wine for Ouyang Xuan. "Then I'll leave this to you. Just don't let any more supernatural incidents like that happen. I was really scared when I saw the cups flying all over the sky."

Xingge didn't really believe in ghosts or gods, but after what happened that day, Xingge couldn't help but believe in them. Although the description of cups flying all over the sky was a very common and even somewhat funny situation, in the eyes of the person involved, these flying plastic cups and drinks scattered everywhere were still quite scary, the kind of horror that had its common sense overturned.

"Plastic disposable cups?"

"I'm sorry, we don't have any cups or vessels for drinking rice wine here. This bottle of wine was given to me by an acquaintance. Who would come to the concert hall to drink rice wine? If they want to drink, it's foreign wine."

"Forget it, they probably won't be picky."

"them?"

Xingge glanced behind Ouyang Xuan. Apart from Yang Cai, who felt very uneasy after entering the room after Ouyang Xuan sat down, there was no one else there. Xingge didn't know who Ouyang Xuan was referring to for a moment.

Under Xingge's confused gaze, Ouyang Jun picked up the cup of rice wine, but did not put it to his mouth and drink it all. Instead, he turned around and poured the entire cup of rice wine onto the ground. The sound of rice wine dripping onto the ground was very clear in the empty and silent concert hall.

"What are you doing?" Xingge didn't first condemn Ouyang Xuan for wasting or dirtying his floor. He just didn't understand why Ouyang Xuan did this. Anyway, there were working girls to clean the floor.

"This drink is on me. If you have nothing else to do, please leave." Ouyang Xuan's tone suddenly changed. "Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you out."

Xingge looked at Ouyang Sun with a puzzled expression as he spoke strangely to the empty concert hall with a cold expression and a calm tone. It was as if there were many things in this hall that he couldn't see. Ghosts?

In order to verify his guess, Xingge turned his head to observe Ouyang Xuan's assistant Yang Cai. After Ouyang Xuan finished this set of movements, Yang Cai, who was originally fidgeting, let out a long breath and relaxed completely.

"Amano, you should get used to it soon."

"At least give people some time to react!" Hina said dissatisfiedly, "Anyone who runs in unprepared and sees a room full of ghosts will definitely be scared, okay?"

"You are no longer an ordinary person. These are just ordinary spirits wandering around the world, not evil spirits. They are very suitable for you to train."

The moment Yang Cai followed Ouyang Sun's footsteps into the starry sky, she felt goosebumps all over her body. The concert hall was full of ghosts, floating in the sky, crawling on the ground, and most of them were standing there without moving, just in front of the stage, as if waiting for the performance to begin.

As soon as Hina entered the stars, some spirits sensed the extraordinary yang energy in Hina and disappeared in a flash, leaving behind most of the dull ghosts. When Hina approached them, they would actively move away and would not touch Hina's body. Even if they touched it, they would just pass through her.

After one group left, there were only about two-thirds of the ghosts left in the concert hall. After Ouyang Xuan toasted a glass of wine, all the ghosts ran away, without a single one left.

"Um, Mr. Ou, can you tell me what you did?" Xingge asked, interrupting the conversation between Yang Cai and Ouyang Xuan. Although he didn't know what Ouyang Xuan had done, Xingge felt a lot warmer.

The gathering of a large number of spirits will lead to an excess of yin energy. For ordinary people, all they can feel is a little cold. However, Xingge, who had stayed in a room full of ghosts for an hour, just thought that the air conditioner was turned down too low and he felt a little cold.

"Send away some unimportant spirits, so that when the main spirit arrives, they won't have a place to stay."

Although there are many ghosts, they are all lonely ghosts that cannot affect the real world. The ghost that caused the supernatural events in the Starry Concert Hall is not among them. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work, Ouyang Sun sent them away in advance.

"Wait? What do you mean by insignificant spirits? Are you saying that I have a lot of ghosts here?" Xingge shuddered.

"There are quite a lot." Haruna said, "Probably from here to the stage... all over..."

"Isn't this all of it!?" Xingge covered his forehead with his hands, feeling very scared. Had he been staying with a group of ghosts for an hour?

Chapter 29 Archangel

"Sister! We are here!"

The energetic Hong Xia jumped open the door, calling out to her sister loudly, and three people followed her in.

"Oh, President Ouyang, Ms. Amano, you are here so early." Hong Xia looked at the two people sitting at the bar in surprise.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Behind the bar, Xingge covered his forehead with his hands, his face pale, as if he had seen something he shouldn't have seen. He poured himself a few glasses of wine to give himself courage.

"It's nothing. I just let this European exorcist show me something I shouldn't have seen." Xingge's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to erase the memory of seeing a room full of ghosts and spirits for a few minutes.

"Hongxia, leave this to me and Master Ou the Exorcist today. You don't need to come today."

"How can this be? I'm the one who invited President Ouyang here." Feeling underestimated, Hong Xia shouted in dissatisfaction, "Besides, to show how popular we are, even Pochi-chan mustered up the courage to come! Now that Pochi-chan is here, there's no way I'm going to be timid."

"Pochi is here too?" This was somewhat beyond Xingge's expectations.

"Goto-san, are you really okay?" Kita looked at Pochi who was shaking all over with worry.

"No, it's no problem. I've learned the exorcism methods from the Internet and have equipped myself with all the necessary equipment."

Pochi took out a lot of things from his schoolbag and hung all the equipment on himself. He wore a cross and a bunch of garlic and onions around his neck, held a rosary in his left hand, a handful of talismans in his right hand, and a lot of salt in his pocket. There were many portraits of gods pinned on his clothes, and he looked like a Chonghuang Zi-O with human heads all over his body.

"I've brought all the things I've found online that are said to have the power to ward off evil spirits. If you're scared, you can come get one from me."

Although he was also scared to death and his legs were shaking when he walked, but when he thought about his friends preparing to face ghosts while he was hiding in the safety of his home, the more Pochi thought about it, the more he felt that this was not right. Even if he was a socially anxious person, there was still a time when he had to try his best!

When her mind regained control, she found herself at the door of Fanxing with a bag of things, and happened to encounter ghosts being asked to leave Fanxing by Ouyang Xuan. Although there were no ghosts, the cold feeling every time a ghost passed through the body scared Bochi so much that he circled at the door for a long time, not daring to go down the stairs that he had walked many times.

"Is it useful?" Xingge pointed at Pochi.

"It's useless." Ouyang Xuan said without a doubt.

Pfft!

Ouyang Xuan's words were like a sword, knocking Pochi down directly, and he fell to the ground in frustration.

"Pochi, how much did you spend on these things?" Liang asked.

"One...one month's pocket money..." When Pochi said this, it seemed as if his soul floated out of his mouth.

"Oh, that's a lot." Liang just asked casually, without any intention of comforting Pochi. Instead, he took off the onions hanging around Pochi's neck and said, "Manager, can I use these onions of Pochi to make onion rings? I haven't eaten yet and I'm hungry."

"No, our shop doesn't have a catering license, so we can only sell drinks."

"If they can't even make band food like onion rings, this store will be closed sooner or later." Liang naturally put the onions bought by Pochi into his schoolbag.

"Goto-kun, don't be discouraged. We can keep these things and use them in the future. Even if we can't use them this time, we can use them to drive away the haunted people next time the concert hall is haunted." Kita tried to comfort Pochi.

"Xiduo, a haunted thing is scary enough if it happens once, don't let it happen a second time!"

"If the guests don't come, we will have to keep paying for the tickets."

"Speaking of which," Xingge suddenly remembered something. He took out the performance schedule and looked at it. He looked up at the members of the Bond Band and said, "One band is going to London for their graduation tour today. We're missing one group. You guys can fill in."

"Really? Sister?"

"We don't have to pay for the tickets!?" Liang was a little excited.

"You are here to save the day, so you don't have to pay for the tickets." Xingge said casually.

"Great! I don't have to work today and I can perform on stage!" Hong Xia was very happy that her band could perform on stage again.

"It's impossible to cancel your work. You can just work first, and then when it's your turn to go on stage, you can go."

"I knew it~~"

"Pochi, there's no time to feel disappointed. Let's go backstage to practice." Ryo picked up Pochi, who was gradually turning into liquid on the ground, and walked backstage. Kita followed behind and picked up Pochi's guitar and schoolbag.

"Remember to come out to work when the business opens." Xingge shouted at Hongxia's back.

"I know, I know. Sister is so nagging."

"Huh~~" Xingge sat down again and looked at Ouyang Sun. "Hey, they're definitely safe, right?"

"Don't worry, Miss Ijichi. The president will definitely protect the safety of Miss Ijichi and the others and will ensure that nothing happens to them." Hina promised.

"There is nothing 100% certain in this world." Ouyang Xuan's words made Yang Cai want to cover his mouth.

"President!"

"You guy, if anything happens to Hongxia and the others, I will never forgive you!" Xingge said angrily, but still chose to believe Ouyang Xuan.

"Don't worry, Miss Ijichi. The president is deeply trusted by many powerful people. You can rest assured that even if it is an evil spirit a hundred times worse than the one just now, the president can defeat it with one hand. I will ensure that Miss Ijichi will not be harmed in the future."

Originally according to the performance schedule arranged by Xingge, Hongxia and her group had no chance to perform, and the vacant position was to be replaced by another band. But at this time, Ouyang Xuan suggested that Hongxia and her group perform, because when the supernatural incident happened a few days ago, it was Hongxia and her group who performed on stage, and Ouyang Xuan wanted to recreate this scene.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, Xingge rejected it immediately. She was very worried about ghost stories and supernatural events, but no matter how worried she was, she would not let her sister be in danger. The worst that could happen was that she would close the store.

In order to dispel Xingge's doubts, Ouyang Xuan temporarily opened Xingge's eyes, allowing her to see several ghosts that had not yet left Fanxing. Then, in front of her, he rolled the ghosts into a ball and threw it out. If these ghosts had not hurt anyone, Ouyang Xuan was going to show Xingge the whole process of exorcism.

Although her worldview and common sense had been greatly impacted, Xingge remained calm. After ensuring that Ouyang Xuan was truly capable, Xingge reluctantly agreed. However, she also had a request. When Hongxia and the others went on stage, Ouyang Xuan had to stand in the first row closest to them, so that if anything went wrong, Ouyang Xuan could come to the rescue as quickly as possible.

"Pochi-chan."

"Hey!!!"

Hongxia simply shouted, and Pochi jumped up from the ground as if a needle had been stuck in his butt.

"Pochi-chan, Pochi-chan, relax, relax. This isn't our first time on stage, so just take it easy."

"Yes, it is!"

"But we might be playing in front of a bunch of ghosts this time." Liang said lightly while checking his bass. "Although playing for a bunch of ghosts is very rock and roll, since it will affect our income, we should quickly kill them."

"Pochi can do it, right? Play in front of a ghost."

"Is it okay..." Pochi's tone quickly faded, and he asked Hongxia next to him cautiously.
