Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 100: The Man Who Can't Wait
In the quiet exit passage, there were only Xia Fan and Horie Tsubasa.

[Faith +1...Faith +1...Cumulative Faith Value: 6245]

"The performance just now seemed to have a good effect. My faith value increased by more than 100 in just a few minutes..."

Xia Fan silently sensed the change in his faith value.

"But, I was clearly performing on stage with this 'Tsukumogami', so why didn't the oracle complete?"

Then he stared at the electronic keyboard with a strange look.

Although he had already brought this electronic keyboard to the stage to complete the performance, the oracle of "using the 'Fusoujin' as a tool to play the elegy of death" was not completed.

"Wait, play the elegy of death..."

"Oh, right, in the memory I saw earlier, that 'senior sister' seemed to be composing some songs before she died... Could it be that she is going to go on stage and play the song she left behind?"

"But she's dead, and I don't know her identity, so how can I find the music score? I can only turn back and ask the almighty Lesson 9 to help investigate..."

Because of this new problem, Xia Fan smiled bitterly.

"Xia Jun's keyboard playing is amazing. I've never heard you mention it before..."

“Although the judges said that there is still room for improvement in the last part of the performance, I think it is already very good!”

Thinking that Xia Fan was upset about the poor results of his final "improvisational performance", Horie Tsubasa pretended to be amazed and comforted him.

But what she said was also true.

Due to limited time, the two only practiced the song "Summer Meeting in Tokyo" a few times.

At that time, although Xia Fan also showed off his amazing electronic keyboard playing skills, because he was mainly practicing the lyrics, he mostly played the BGM.

Unexpectedly, when he was on stage, his performance was in no way inferior to professional level and produced quite amazing results.

As for the solo in the final climax, it was a "normal performance" and its merits outweighed its flaws.

"I didn't know it could be played so smoothly... If I told you that this keyboard played by itself, you probably wouldn't believe it."

Xia Fan smiled slightly and gently stroked the electronic keyboard beside him.

As if it was somewhat disgusted with him, the electronic keyboard slid gently along the wall of the passage under the inertia of the roller...

"You're just kidding."

Horie Tsubasa was amused by his "joke" and burst out laughing.

"By the way, this yukata is quite comfortable to wear..."

She spread her hands, her long sleeves dancing like colorful butterflies, and under the wide bathrobe, her tall and slender curves became more and more obvious...

"Why don't we wear yukata together and watch the fireworks display in the summer?"

Taking a quick glance at Xia Fan, Horie Tsubasa lowered his head and spoke softly.

"boom!"

"What's going on outside? Why is there such a big noise?"

Suddenly, there was a loud crash from the backstage, causing the walls of the entire corridor to vibrate.

"Duo..."

Even the electronic keyboard leaning against the wall was vibrated and produced crisp sounds.

"Advisor Xia Fan, we have subdued three suspects, but the whereabouts of one suspect is still unknown."

"We are coming in your direction, please be careful!"

Just as the two of them were nervously looking at the other end of the passage, Xia Fan heard the hurried words of Inspector Higurashi in his earphones...

The sound of dense footsteps came from far away.

"The backstage is only half the size of a gymnasium, and the ninth class will be able to get there in a few tens of seconds..."

"That person's whereabouts are unknown... If he came for me, where would he be..."

Xia Fan glanced at the empty exit passage where there was nowhere to hide, his brain thinking rapidly...

A drop of water fell from above and landed on the ground in front of Xia Fan.

"Could it be..." Xia Fan raised his head suddenly...

Above the exit passage, on the dark ceiling made of steel pipes and brackets, there was a man with his back pressed against the brackets and his strong limbs hanging on the steel pipes...

The other person's face was covered in sweat and he was looking at him nervously.

"It seems that I can't wait for those guys to come and do it to me..."

The moment their eyes met, the man decisively let go, and his burly body flew towards Xia Fan at a rapid speed!
After Xia Fan and Horie Tsubasa appeared on stage, the man mixed into the exit passage and waited by sticking to the ceiling.

According to the original plan, when Xia Fan finished his performance and left through the exit passage, he and his companions would block Xia Fan's retreat from the front and back, and then carry out the assassination with all their might.

But from the noise outside, it seemed that his companions had already started fighting with someone, so it was obviously impossible to carry out the "original plan".

"For the sake of Lord Chi Shen, please die!"

Looking at Xia Fan who was very close below, the man showed a ferocious smile.

He was very confident that his violent arms could break the opponent's neck in just one second...

He would then be able to escape down the aisle onto the stage, create a commotion in the crowd, and make his escape.

"Hurry, run to the stage!"

But Xia Fan was not frightened by this scene. He pushed Horie Tsubasa to the side of the passage with his backhand, and then he quickly jumped back a step...

The man's heavy body slammed hard onto the ground between the two of them, stirring up small pieces of stone.

"Good hiding, but pointless struggle."

Then, he bent his knees and squatted on the ground, exerting force with his muscular and thick thighs, and rushed towards Xia Fan who was a few meters away like a cannonball!

"Xia Fan!!!!"

Seeing this scene, Horie Tsubasa at the other end of the passage let out a loud scream that pierced his eardrums!
"?"

Seeing that Xia Fan had no way to escape, the man who was approaching like a wild beast suddenly stumbled...

"Ugh!!!"

He kowtowed to apologize, then fell flat on his face, his head hitting the ground one meter away from Xia Fan, leaving a circle of spider webs...

"asshole!"

The man raised his head, his face was covered in blood and his front teeth were missing.

He looked back with a grim expression and found that his ankle had been caught on the wire of an electronic keyboard against the wall.

Just as he kicked away the wire and stood up again...

At the entrance of the passage behind Xia Fan, Rimu rushed in with several agents.

"Puff puff……"

The man had no time to react as he was aimed at by the dark muzzle of a gun and three anesthetic bullets were found on his body.

Several agents rushed forward, skillfully took out straitjackets and handcuffs, and "packed up" the man and took him away.

"Sorry, Consultant Xia Fan, we were negligent!"

Rimu bowed to Xia Fan nervously, staring at the cracks on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

Even powerful psychics like Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi still have the physical fitness level of ordinary people.

Although he didn't know how thrilling the process just now was, if Xia Fan hadn't handled it properly, he would probably have only found a cold corpse when he arrived.

This will be a permanent regret and stain for him and Lesson 9.

"I'm fine. Thanks to everyone, no one was injured."

Xia Fan shook his head and smiled at Horie Tsubasa who was still in shock in the distance, indicating that he was fine.

"Thanks, partner."

He turned around and tapped the electronic keyboard.
