“Yu...Yu Quan-san, do you mean that there might be other urban legends appearing in the future?” The voice on the other end of the phone trembled noticeably.
“Perhaps...” Yu Quan narrowed his eyes: “However, it takes a lot for creatures from the Other Side to reach the mortal realm.”
“I think Slit-Mouthed Woman won’t be able to stay here for long.”
It was probably out of sheer fear of encountering Slit-Mouthed Woman, every client who called Yu Quan bought several talismans to take home.
Yu Quan was naturally happy to make this money.
Those who knew Yu Quan and were aware of his abilities were mostly wealthy individuals. Yu Quan's talismans were also expensive.
Except for when giving talismans to Ran Mouri and the others, Yu Quan only charged one million yen. Anyone else who sought him out would pay at least eight figures...
Such individuals were only a small minority!
Yu Quan naturally didn't have to worry that if too many of his talismans were dispersed, the effectiveness of the next Hundred Ghosts Night Parade would be compromised.
After taking several similar calls in a row, Yu Quan simply handed the clients over to Yu Shi Ya to handle.
Only after freeing himself did Yu Quan see two missed calls and an unread message from Ran Mouri.
【Ran Mouri: Yu Quan, did you see Slit-Mouthed Woman on the news? Are you okay?】
【By the way, I want to thank you for the talisman you gave me earlier. It saved me, Dad, and Conan's lives.】
After a moment's thought, Yu Quan didn't return Ran Mouri's call. He simply replied with a message.
【Yu Quan: I saw it, I'm fine. Regarding the talisman, if the paper turns to ash, it means the talisman's effect is gone and needs to be replaced. If it's normal, keep it on you.】
Ran Mouri... was someone who was incredibly lucky at times, but also extremely unlucky at others!
Some people jokingly said: Ran Mouri was most dangerous when facing danger, but the luckiest when there was no danger!
Yu Quan didn't want Ran Mouri to die.
【Ran Mouri: Okay, the talisman is still intact, thank you, Yu Quan.】
Yu Quan put away his phone and immediately took stock of his harvest for the day.
First, souls... To initiate the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, Yu Quan had consumed ten souls.
However, after the appearance of Slit-Mouthed Woman, Yu Quan had collected three more, bringing the total to eight souls. Added to the energy he obtained from the art museum...
Yu Quan essentially had eleven.
Without considering having Slit-Mouthed Woman act alongside new spirits, he could initiate another Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.
But Yu Quan wasn't interested in launching two Hundred Ghosts Night Parades consecutively, after all, the emotions generated by the previous one hadn't reached their peak...
Since the news about Slit-Mouthed Woman broke, Yu Quan's points had been booming.
He had already surpassed ten thousand, and they were still increasing...
It was undoubtedly a wonderful night. Yu Quan directly pulled Yu Shi Ya into his embrace.
Just as he was about to do something, the doorbell rang: “Ding-dong!”
The person outside was none other than Yuzu Izawa and Yoiko Uno.
“Huh? Yuzu, Yoiko, I thought you two were supposed to be on set these days?” Yu Quan was a little surprised.
There was no need to say much about Yoiko Uno. She was a rising star in the entertainment industry, with a packed schedule.
Fortunately, most of her work was in Tokyo...
As for Yuzu Izawa, while she wasn't as popular as Yoiko Uno, her appearance was undeniable. She had a steady stream of work.
“We were worried about your safety.” Yuzu Izawa looked Yu Quan up and down, sighing in relief.
Yu Quan was taken aback, realizing that the two of them had probably come because of the news about Slit-Mouthed Woman. He couldn’t help but smile and ushered them onto the sofa.
“What are you thinking? I'm an exorcist, I'm not afraid of Slit-Mouthed Woman.” Yu Quan chuckled and playfully poked their noses.
As for Yu Shi Ya, she sat quietly beside him.
“It's you two who should be careful. It's chaos out there, coming out in the middle of the night, you're not afraid of bumping into Slit-Mouthed Woman?”
“We...we also have talismans you gave us.” Yoiko Uno murmured, her fingers trembling slightly.
They were two young girls, after all. To say they weren't scared at all would be a lie.
However, their deep affection for Yu Quan overwhelmed their fear. When they saw the news about Slit-Mouthed Woman—
Their concern for Yu Quan's safety instantly outweighed their own fear. Yoiko Uno and Yuzu Izawa, seemingly in perfect harmony, rushed to find Yu Quan and happened to meet at his doorstep.
“I heard Slit-Mouthed Woman only appeared in the Mita Heights area, I was in the neighboring Beika Town,” Yuzu Izawa said, trying to appear calm.
“Next time you're worried, send me a message first.” Yu Quan rubbed their heads in a comforting gesture.
Yoiko Uno and Yuzu Izawa were big stars. It wouldn't be realistic for them to stay with Yu Quan all the time like Yu Shi Ya.
However, Yu Quan didn't need to worry about their safety either.
Before they had a close relationship, both of them had purchased talismans from Yu Quan.
Now that they were following Yu Quan, he naturally gave them better jade talismans.
They were his people, he couldn't let anything happen to them, or it would damage his reputation!
“Since you're here, don't leave.” Yu Quan smiled and led the three girls upstairs.
Amidst the chaos outside, Yu Quan's abode was a haven of intimacy, where they spent a night of love.
