Lord Yunwen's Exorcism Record

Chapter 21: Lord Yunwen's Exorcism ~

It was 4 PM on a pedestrian street near Tokyo Tower.

Shu Yunwen held a photo in his hand, looking back and forth at the signs on the street, scratching the back of his head in frustration.

When he first watched Detective Conan, he had only skimmed through it once, and his memory had long since faded. If he had known he would transmigrate, and into the world of Conan at that, Shu Yunwen would have definitely watched Detective Conan N times, not missing even the slightest detail.

Yeah, it would have been best if he could have kidnapped Uncle 73 and had him spoil the rest of the story or something.

Damn it, for a full twenty years and over seven hundred episodes, the big boss of the Black Organization still hasn't officially appeared. This is just… unbelievable. I heard some fans have already made their wills, asking their descendants to burn Uncle 73's effigy when they visit their graves.

"Lord Yunwen, still no luck?" Matsushita Heisaburo asked from the side.

Shu Yunwen replied, "That's right. The second hat-shaped pattern is easy to find, but these three triangular patterns… there are just too many around them, I have no idea which one it is. Damn it!"

As Shu Yunwen spoke, he raised his hand to check his watch, feeling a bit helpless.

Just then, the pager on Matsushita Heisaburo's waist beeped.

Matsushita Heisaburo quickly took out the pager and glanced at it. "Lord Yunwen, it's Mr. Yamagishi calling. He probably wants to ask about the exorcism…"

"Exorcism?" Shu Yunwen thought for a moment, then turned and instructed, "Call Yamagishi Eiichi and have him and Ono Yoko come to Tokyo Tower. Hmm…" As Shu Yunwen spoke, his gaze swept around the area. "…Let's meet at this Dream Blossom Cafe."

Matsushita Heisaburo glanced at the cafe next door, nodded, and walked to a nearby public phone to call Yamagishi Eiichi.

After the call, Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo decided to go into the cafe to wait.

About forty minutes later, a group of three walked into the cafe. Yamagishi Eiichi was in the lead, followed by a disguised Ono Yoko and a middle-aged man.

Upon seeing Shu Yunwen and the other, Yamagishi Eiichi quickly walked towards their corner.

"Lord Yunwen, Vice President Matsushita, thank you for meeting with us." Yamagishi Eiichi greeted them. Ono Yoko followed with a bow, "Lord Yunwen, we'll be troubling you with today's matter."

Ono Yoko looked unwell. Despite the thick makeup, a hint of fatigue could still be seen on her face.

Shu Yunwen smiled and said, "Miss Yoko, there's no need to be so polite. And this is…"

Shu Yunwen looked at the person beside Ono Yoko.

Yamagishi Eiichi immediately introduced him, "Lord Yunwen, this is the president of our agency, Akechi Kunihito."

So he's a minor character who never appeared in the original work!

"Hello, President Akechi," Shu Yunwen said politely, then gestured to the opposite seats. "Please, the three of you, have a seat."

After the three sat down, a cafe server brought three cups of coffee. The five chatted casually for a few minutes, and then Yamagishi Eiichi said urgently, "Lord Yunwen, it's already 4:50 PM. You mentioned that the best time for exorcism is now…"

Shu Yunwen looked out the window. The sky had begun to darken. He smiled and said, "The time has indeed come. Please wait a moment."

As he finished speaking, Shu Yunwen began chanting a sorcerous curse. A few seconds later, he cast Ghost Sorcery: Ghost Eye. A thin mist seemed to cover Shu Yunwen's eyes, and the scene before him shifted. He immediately saw a mist-like soul above Ono Yoko's head.

Fujie Akiyoshi had held onto a strand of Ono Yoko's hair before he died.

Therefore, after his death, he lingered above Ono Yoko's head due to his obsession, which was quite normal.

"Miss Yoko, do you feel a heaviness on your head?" Shu Yunwen teased with a smile.

This remark was essentially dark humor that only he understood.

Ono Yoko was taken aback and stammered, "Lord Yunwen, I… I feel heavy all over right now…"

She must be tired, sleepy, right?

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes and chanted another sorcerous curse. With a "capture" character, the mist hovering above Ono Yoko's head seemed to struggle uncontrollably and flew into Shu Yunwen's hand, finally shrinking into a ball about the size of a ping-pong ball. On the surface of the ball, Fujie Akiyoshi's ghost face, formed by condensed mist, wailed incessantly, as if trying to break free.

The ghost, now a ball held in his hand, Shu Yunwen smiled and said, "Alright, Miss Yoko. For this exorcism, since I proposed it earlier, I can offer a 25% discount on the fee. The total will be 1.5 million yen."

"A-alright?" Before Ono Yoko could speak, Yamagishi Eiichi blurted out, "Lord Yunwen, is it done already? That was a very powerful vengeful spirit…"

Yamagishi Eiichi didn't think Shu Yunwen's price of 1.5 million yen was too expensive. As long as Fujie Akiyoshi's vengeful spirit could truly be eliminated, he wouldn't mind if the price doubled.

Yamagishi Eiichi still felt a chill recalling the situation he saw in the mirror at noon.

But… was the exorcism really that fast? It hadn't even been half a minute!

Shu Yunwen casually replied, "Mr. Yamagishi, I know better than you whether the problem is solved. Can you please not question a true exorcist?"

"Ah? Yes…" Yamagishi Eiichi quickly nodded.

After a pause, Shu Yunwen continued, "Of course, if you're still not reassured, I can let you see the captured soul with your own eyes. However, this will consume my power, so there will be an additional charge of 500,000 yen."

Upon hearing this, Yamagishi Eiichi said without hesitation, "Lord Yunwen, I want to see it with my own eyes! Please cast the spell!"

Paying an extra 500,000 yen to witness the vengeful spirit being captured firsthand was worth it for peace of mind.

Beside him, Akechi Kunihito, who hadn't appeared in the original work, chimed in, "Lord Yunwen, I'd like to see it with my own eyes too."

"Two people, and each requires 500,000 yen!" Shu Yunwen explained, then turned to Ono Yoko. "Miss Yoko, don't you want to see it with your own eyes?"

"I…" Ono Yoko bit her lip. "I want to see it too!"

"Three people, 500,000 yen each, for a total of 1.5 million yen." Shu Yunwen smiled slightly, then began chanting the sorcerous curse again, casting Ghost Sorcery: Ghost Eye three times in succession. After the "Ghost Eye" took effect on the three of them, Shu Yunwen opened his hand, revealing the ping-pong ball-sized sphere of condensed mist before them.

"You should all be able to see it now, right? This is Fujie Akiyoshi's soul."

The three looked at what was in Shu Yunwen's hand, finding it hard to believe. Is this Fujie Akiyoshi's vengeful spirit? It doesn't look like it!

Just as they were wondering, the surface of the "ping-pong ball" suddenly rippled. A mass of mist rushed out from the sphere and coalesced into a face before them, its expression terrifying, as if it were roaring ferociously. And that face was Fujie Akiyoshi's!

"Ahhh~"

In an instant, Ono Yoko and the other two cried out in terror.

Inside the coffee shop, other customers cast curious glances. The waiter also hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Is everything okay, guests?"

Shu Yunwen quickly replied, "It's nothing. I was just telling them a ghost story, and they got scared."

"Is that so? Heh heh... If you need anything, please call me." The waiter gave a faint smile and walked away.

Around them, the other customers chuckled.

However, Ono Yoko and the other two couldn't calm down for a while.

Shu Yunwen was indeed telling them a "ghost story." But the "ghost" was right in front of them!

With a grasp, Shu Yunwen caught Fujie Akiyoshi's soul again and smiled, "Alright, you've all seen it. I've caught this ghost. So, Miss Yoko, you can sleep peacefully when you get back. I can guarantee that Fujie Akiyoshi will never cause you similar trouble again."

After personally witnessing the captured "vengeful spirit," Yamagishi Eiichi's attitude changed again, becoming even more respectful. "Lord Yunwen, thank you for your help. You saved our lives. Yoko-chan, quickly thank Lord Yunwen."

Ono Yoko also quickly expressed her thanks.

Shu Yunwen waved his hand casually. "No need to thank me, you've already paid."

He paused, then looked at his electronic watch. "I'm very sorry, but I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I must leave now. Matsushita-kun, collect the payment."

Matsushita Heisaburo was taken aback and looked at Ono Yoko and the other two.

Ono Yoko was surprised. Akechi Kunihito, the company president who had not appeared in the original work, quickly took out his checkbook and scribbled a check, handing it to Matsushita Heisaburo. "Yoko is an artist under our agency. Resolving her trouble this time is also resolving the company's trouble. Therefore, these three million yen will be accounted for by the company."

Matsushita Heisaburo took the check, examined it, and handed it to Shu Yunwen.

Shu Yunwen didn't take it and stood up. "Since the payment has been settled, I'll take my leave. Oh, right, if you're not in a hurry, it's best to stay here for a full hour before leaving. You all have 'Ghost Eye' active, and it lasts for about an hour. You'll be able to see other souls during this time. If you leave now and encounter other souls, it might scare you."

"Hai!" Ono Yoko and the other two nodded in agreement.

Then, Akechi Kunihito, who had not appeared in the original work, stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, Lord Yunwen. It's like this, I am very impressed with your abilities. Therefore, our agency would like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Keqin Exorcist Agency and commission you to handle such matters. Do you have time to discuss this?"

This was a business opportunity!

Shu Yunwen glanced at his watch and then smiled. "I'm very sorry, but I do have urgent matters to attend to right now and must leave. If you are free tomorrow, you can contact our agency. Matsushita-kun can handle this matter entirely. Matsushita-kun, I'm leaving everything to you. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to school."

"Understood, Lord Yunwen." Akechi Kunihito did not dare to insist.

Ono Yoko suddenly spoke up. "Lord Yunwen, how will you deal with him?"

The "him" naturally referred to Fujie Akiyoshi's soul.

Shu Yunwen smiled slightly. "How we deal with him is our business as exorcists, Miss Yoko. It has nothing to do with you. Also, Miss Yoko, as I said in your apartment before, he committed suicide in your apartment and tried to frame you as the murderer and ruin you. In my opinion, he's not a good person and doesn't deserve sympathy."

Ono Yoko's expression darkened, and she said no more.

After watching Shu Yunwen and Matsushita Heisaburo hastily leave the coffee shop, Akechi Kunihito, who had not appeared in the original work, asked with some curiosity, "Lord Yunwen has to go to school? Is he a teacher?"

"Uh... No, Lord Yunwen is a second-year high school student." Ono Yoko, who had heard about Shu Yunwen's identity from Ran, replied.

"What?"

Akechi Kunihito, who had not appeared in the original work, was dumbfounded.

"That person just now had a face that looked older than me by several years! He looks almost fifty, but he's only a second-year high school student? Yoko-chan, are you kidding me?"

PS: Akechi Kunihito smashed a brick towards the sky:

"Author! Are you going to die if you don't mention that 'he hadn't appeared in the original work' line?!"
