Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 43

Although it's slow, it's steadily improving.

Lu Zizhen pondered, as if something flashed through her mind, which she keenly grasped, and looked up to ask, "Do you still remember when that was?"

"It was last year... on August 19th."

Lu Zizhen's mind went blank.

That was... the day the Kiryu family had their accident.

Chapter 81 Siren Head's News

The day the Kiryu family had their accident?

Lu Zizhen met Dou Tang half a year ago, but she knew about the tragedy that happened even earlier. According to insiders within the police force, it must have been the work of an evil spirit.

On the same day that the evil spirits attacked the Kiryu family, many Onmyoji and exorcists who controlled spiritual power felt an increase in their abilities, and an invisible change occurred to everyone.

Since that day, evil spirits have appeared more frequently, and the people in the exorcism world have also become stronger. More than a year later, Onmyoji can even make their shikigami appear out of thin air, and they also have magic power.

It all started that day, the day the Kiryu family was attacked.

Lu Zizhen tried her best not to connect the two things, because such speculation was too magical and surreal, making it hard for her to accept. But the more she cared, the more the thought lingered in her mind and could not be dispelled.

The strange events at the Kiryu family... led to a change in spiritual power? Or rather...

Or is it related to Kiryu Todo?

Soul purification, Crown game, Fall Guys...

Is it really as I said, that he's like a walking hell...?

Lu Zizhen couldn't help but shudder, not daring to continue thinking about it.

“Miss Lu…do you have any clues?” the black-haired woman asked.

“No…” Lu Zizhen shook his head: “My school uses talismans to borrow power from heaven and earth, which is different from your method of nurturing spirits into the body. I don’t have that kind of feeling.”

"But could it be that you came to Tokyo just for this?"

"Miss Lu, here's your drink." A tall, thin monk, who hadn't spoken, handed her a glass of wine.

Lu Zizhen nodded, picked up her wine glass, and took a sip.

The black-haired woman continued, "You could say that. We received a request from a friend to go to Chiba Prefecture because we heard that Siren Head was spotted there."

Lu Zizhen frowned, the sweet taste of wine filling her mouth.

She clicked her tongue and said, "But I remember that the so-called siren head was just an artist's creation."

Siren Head, created by an artist named Trevor Henderson, is simply an urban legend, much like Slender Man.

Siren Head is a very tall humanoid creature, like a tall, thin, steel-colored mummy, but its head is made up of a thin rod and a trumpet-shaped siren.

It is said to be hostile to humans and often appears in the countryside and forests...

But in any case, this is even an urban legend with a traceable origin; it's completely fake!

“That’s right, but this information comes from an industry insider, not something made up by an ordinary person.” The black-haired woman explained, while also offering a conjecture: “If this is true, then it means…”

Lu Zizhen chimed in: "It means that urban legends have become true, and those so-called fantasies... have actually come true."

The black-haired woman nodded.

Lu Zizhen shook her head in disbelief: "Unbelievable...it's really unbelievable."

But then I thought, if Dou Tang can transform into a jelly bean, then it doesn't seem so hard to accept that urban legends could come true.

Lu Zizhen sighed, took another sip of her drink, and then said, "Alright... But if Siren Head is real, what are you planning to do?"

The three exchanged glances, and the black-haired woman continued, "If possible, we will try to kill it or seal it away."

Lu Zizhen nodded. This was the usual practice of exorcists; there was no other good way.

But then she became somewhat alarmed, wondering if that siren-headed monster... was also a participant in the Crown Game? Had a monster that should have been an urban legend become a reality because of the Crown Game?

So she asked, "Could I have your friend's contact information? I'm also very interested in that siren-headed guy. Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to steal your business."

The black-haired woman smiled and said, "It's alright. We've heard about Miss Lu. She's been exorcising evil spirits without expecting anything in return for the past six months... In a sense, she's an idol to many people. If Miss Lu can participate this time, it will definitely be our good fortune."

The black-haired woman immediately wrote down her contact information and handed it to Lu Zizhen.

Having obtained what she wanted, Lu Zizhen finished her drink and decided to leave first. After saying goodbye, she got up and went out the door.

………………

After school, Dou Tang picked up his bag and left. When he got to the school gate, he slapped his forehead.

A row of bald men stood at the entrance...

Dou Tang walked over helplessly, looked at Yang Ping's bandaged head, then at the row of delinquents who were mostly injured, and frowned, "Were you beaten up?"

Yangping said, "We got into a fight with a group of former Oni Island biker gang members in the park. Kiryu-nii, I'm sorry."

"I'm not your eldest brother... but you mentioned former Oni Island? What happened?"

Yangping honestly recounted what had happened, but made no mention of the girl.

complete

The person in front of him was someone he respected, and he said that a group of people like them were saved by a short girl... How could that be?

Dou Tang frowned, but in the end, although his tone was unfriendly, his words were heartwarming: "Not bad. It's a good thing to do something righteous. It shows that you are not bad people at heart."

Perhaps this group of people...

He said he would get a haircut and he actually did. He had waited a whole week because of something he said, and he even stood up for his former companion and got into a fight because he couldn't stand it... This Yangping doesn't seem to be a bad person after all.

Although Dou Tang is indifferent to many things, he will not refuse to save those who can be saved by him. Just like when he saves people from evil spirits, he feels that since these people trust him, he might as well lead them in a better direction.

Dou Tang pondered for a moment and then asked, "How does it feel to do something heroic?"

Yangping rubbed his head blankly and said, "It hurts a lot, it really hurts right now."

Dou Tang shook his head, both amused and annoyed: "Who asked you that? I was asking how you feel? Do you regret it? That was your former friend."

“That kind of person is not my friend, Kiryu-nii. Even if I am a delinquent, I at least know that bullying the weak is wrong!” Yangping looked up and shouted, then added, “Hmm... other than that, it was pretty fun, right? I don’t regret it. If I had to do it again, I would definitely do it again.”

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang slowly nodded and said, "You're even better than I expected. Very good. What's your name?"

In fact, Dou Tang only asked him his name now.

Yang Ping quickly bowed; he had a premonition that Dou Tang was about to accept him.

"Replying to Kiryu-nii! My name is Katsuta Yohei!"

"Get up, Yangping... I'll remember."

Once Yang Ping straightened up, Dou Tang tilted her head slightly and said, "You said before that I'm famous in the delinquent circle?"

Yangping nodded, then said, "Yes... and many people are very dissatisfied with you, Kiryu-nii, and I guess they'll be causing trouble soon..."

Dou Tang smiled dismissively. He wasn't a bad person, but...

But he was still very interested in disciplining these naughty kids.

Chapter 82 The Innocent Miko

Dou Tang can be considered a good person, whether as Ren Dou Tang or Kiryu Dou Tang.

Faced with this group of teenagers who admired him and were not inherently bad, Dou Tang couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill, perhaps he could guide them towards goodness.

At the same time, he also understood that he did need help. In addition to the things in the evil world, he also needed a group of people in the world of ordinary people to help him, at least to prevent the kind of thing that happened on Ghost Island from happening again.

Ryunosuke Kanakawa died under mysterious circumstances, but he knew about the existence of Kane and Chinatsu Kume beforehand, which means that someone gave him information, forcing Tou Tang to be on high alert.

Whether it's to guide people towards good or because I myself need help, I find it hard to refuse them.

Dou Tang looked around. The group of bald guys standing neatly in front of him at the school gate were quite conspicuous. Although reputation was no longer important, he still had to be mindful of the impact. So Dou Tang waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. Go to school tomorrow."

After saying that, he looked at Yangping and said, "Yangping, find out which schools are trying to cause me trouble, understand?"

Yangping was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with elation, "Is Kiryu-nii planning to dominate high school?"

"No, it's just to let them know that I have no intention of getting involved in the delinquents' fight, that's all." Dou Tang slowly clenched his fist, making a cracking sound, which reminded Yang Ping of how he fearlessly and even smilingly charged into the crowd that night.

"And the most direct way is to let them know how strong I am."

After exchanging contact information with Yangping and seeing the group of bald men off, Dou Tang walked home, lost in thought.

He quit all his previous jobs, intending to devote himself to Huaiyin. Too many things have happened recently, and with the Crown game officially starting, he couldn't rest easy.

Furthermore, there is currently too much fog and mist in front of us.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was disciplining Yangping and his group of bald boys, a skeleton was standing behind a window in the school, watching his every move with empty eye sockets. It was none other than the former vengeful school doctor, Ejima Izai.

The skull face showed no expression at all, but it always gave the impression that he was thinking about something, suppressing something.

After Dou Tang left, he clattered away from the window, walked to the empty steel frame, aimed, and jumped slightly, hanging himself up in a somewhat comical manner.

As soon as Dou Tang turned the corner, he saw a girl dressed in a rustic style standing downstairs at his apartment building, looking at Dou Tang's window with a strange gaze and a furrowed brow.

Dou Tang recognized her immediately; he had a good memory and recognized her at a glance as the innocent shrine maiden he had met at school that night.

...Something's weird, it's better to avoid it.

Tou Tang walked straight past Shinzen Ringo and was about to go upstairs when Shinzen Ringo saw him and rushed up to him, saying, "Hello? Hello, hello, can I ask you a question?"

It seemed she hadn't recognized him. Dou Tang turned around helplessly, his expression unfriendly, and said, "Sorry, I can't."

Ringo Shinzen paused for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly said, "Wait, sir, this is very important! You're a resident of this apartment building, aren't you? There's a vengeful spirit in this building!"

Nonsense, it's in my own room.

There are many vengeful spirits.

Dou Tang frowned, but said without changing his expression, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested, I don't want to join any religion, and I certainly won't buy any so-called exorcism amulets or the like."

"If you're going to sell something, could you please wear something decent? You can easily buy a shrine maiden outfit in Akihabara. Wearing sportswear and saying someone's place is haunted by vengeful spirits is just treating people like idiots."

Ringo was stunned by this series of sarcastic remarks. She looked down at her clothes and blinked.

Dou Tang acted like a skilled househusband who had skillfully fended off all sorts of salespeople, snorting and saying, "So sorry, we're not buying anything. Excuse me, I'm going upstairs."

Ringo Shinzen quickly grabbed him: "Wait a minute, sir! I'm not here to sell anything. I... I really saw resentment in this apartment! And you have it too!"

A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead, clearly frightened by Dou Tang's earlier words, which further convinced Dou Tang that this person was extremely kind.

"Have you been experiencing sleep deprivation lately? Frequent night sweats? And having some bizarre dreams?" Ringo asked eagerly, "Or perhaps auditory or visual hallucinations? Like someone whispering in your ear or you seeing someone in the corner of the room?"

Dou Tang calmly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I haven't encountered any of the phenomena you mentioned, thank you."

Just then, Dou Tang caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure walking over out of the corner of his eye.

He looked up and was surprised to see Lu Zizhen!

Why does this person keep coming here every day?!

Ringo Shinzen may not have seen the transformation of Tou-tang clearly, but Lu Zi-zhen is easily recognized. Although more than half a month has passed since that incident, it is still somewhat dangerous.

We can't let her come over!

Ringo Shinzen continued, pulling Toudou along, "Sir! This is no joke! There really is a vengeful spirit in your apartment... I can help you find it! I'm not after money at all! No charge!"

While dealing with the situation, Dou Tang winked at Lu Zizhen. Lu Zizhen, who was in the distance, clearly saw his wink, then looked at Shinqian Ringo with a look of sudden realization, and naturally turned into the convenience store next door.

Dou Tang's phone rang, and Lu Zizhen not only understood that he wanted him to stay away, but also realized that Dou Tang was being entangled, so she called to help him out.

It perfectly captures my heart!

Dou Tang quickly waved his hand: "Excuse me, I need to take this call. I have no interest in so-called vengeful spirits or anything like that. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he quickly answered the phone, pretending to be serious: "Hello, hello, yes, it's me, it's me, umm..."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Zizhen laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you've actually been entangled with that third-rate witch, huh? Hahaha..."

Dou Tang felt helpless, but still said, "Yes, yes, you're right, umm..."

After quickly entering the apartment, Dou Tang secretly glanced back and saw that the shrine maiden with the single ponytail was still standing on the street, looking at Dou Tang with anxious and pitiful eyes.

tsk...

Dou Tang quickly went upstairs, then whispered, "What are you doing here again?"

Lu Zizhen replied, "I went to gather some intelligence and just happened to come and take a look."

"You really scared me to death... I thought you were going to walk right over here. If she recognized you, we wouldn't have any peace and quiet."
