Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 327

However, apart from Lao Lang, Lu Zizhen and the others were completely unmoved by the flattery, so Lao Lang became the unlucky guy who was pushed out by the group to do the job.

Although it was intended to attract attention, Old Wolf seems to quite like it.

"Friends! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Sunshine City is right before our eyes!" Old Wolf held the microphone in one hand and slightly raised the other, his expression confident and proud, his eyes shining brightly, as if he could see the bright future of Sunshine City.

"Now, a new era has begun, and news of the shattered Sessho-seki is spreading like sweet honey throughout the streets and alleys of Nikko City." Old Wolf waved his clenched fist: "Just like when Tokyo's economy took off! This is Nikko City's chance to take off!"

He paced back and forth on the platform, his eyes sweeping over the merchants below. His extremely confident demeanor made people involuntarily ponder his words.

"Friends, you've all seen those cities that revolve around tourism, right?" Old Wolf continued, "Any town at the foot of Mount Fuji can accommodate hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, Kyoto uses its historical background as a selling point, not to mention famous places like Kinkaku-ji..."

“These places all have one thing in common: a mysterious atmosphere!” Old Wolf raised a finger: “The divinity of Mount Fuji, the various legends in Kyoto’s history… and what does our Nikko City have?”

"Of course it's Tamamo-no-Mae!"

"Boom..."

As soon as Old Wolf finished speaking, everyone felt a dull thud coming from several floors above.

The businessmen were somewhat confused, but Old Wolf quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Our cooperation with you in Tokyo... Kiryu Business Investment Co., Ltd. these past few days is the best example!"

"The shattering of the Killing Stone is the perfect opportunity for us to hype this up!" Old Wolf picked up a glass of champagne from the podium and raised it slightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, Tamamo-no-Mae has now become a hot topic on Twitter, far surpassing urban legends like Fall Guys. Let's keep up the good work!"

"Let the whole of Japan see just how much of a storm Tamamo-no-Mae, this top-tier hot topic that blends history and reality, can stir up!"

"Tamamo-no-Mae's merchandise, advertising, cultural and creative entertainment... can these three words still represent that fox demon?" Old Wolf laughed, continuing to raise his cup, even above his head.

"No! It represents the future of Nikko City, our future... a future of making a fortune!"

Old Wolf greeted everyone like a successful business tycoon.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Meanwhile, the noise from upstairs was getting closer and closer, to the point that it seemed as if the source of the noise was moving downwards.

From the railing next to the buffet, which overlooks the lobby on the first floor, one can hear the commotion of people dispersing and fleeing as they exit the elevator.

"Uh, this is..." Old Wolf wanted to explain something more.

But Lu Zizhen shouted from below the stage, "Everyone! There's an emergency upstairs! I heard there's a bomb inside! Run!"

After saying that, she pulled Huaiyin and turned to leave, with Kotaro following closely behind.

Although they didn't know if the rumor of a bomb in the building was true or false, the terrifying noise had been going on for so long that everyone was already feeling uneasy. When Lu Zizhen took the lead in leaving, the businessmen immediately panicked.

They rushed toward the stairwell and elevator.

The old wolf on the podium sighed, finished his champagne, and chased after him.

He walked into the stairwell, avoiding the merchants who were retreating downstairs, and looked at Lu Zizhen waiting at the top of the stairs. He said somewhat dejectedly, "I've only just had my fill..."

"Now is not the time for you to act like a big shot." Lu

Zizhen gestured towards the bottom of the stairs: "Let's go downstairs together to evacuate the crowd. The situation upstairs is getting more and more intense, we have to get them out of there."

Kotaro glanced at the bag that Huaiyin was carrying and said, "Shouldn't we go up and help?"

"Boom boom boom..." As the group spoke, explosion-like roars continued to come from upstairs.

Old Wolf quipped, "Are the people upstairs exchanging RPG shots...?"

Lu Zizhen shook her head: "This is not a situation where we can help. Judging from the noise, it's like two superhuman huskies are destroying the house. Even if you two half-demons went up there, you probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch."

“Just one punch…” Lu Zizhen clenched her fist, then suddenly loosened her fingers: “Your heads will explode like watermelons.”

"It shouldn't be that exaggerated..." Old Wolf muttered.

At this moment, more people began to run down from upstairs. All the residents on all the floors of the hotel had realized that something was wrong. Apart from those who had seen Dou Tang and Tamamo-no-Mae fight on the previous floors, most people were still confused about the situation.

Lu Zizhen and the others joined the crowd and arrived at the parking lot in front of the hotel like ordinary guests.

By this time, the parking lot had already gathered a lot of people, and even more people were fleeing from the building. Most of them were wearing pajamas, and a few were even just wearing underwear when they hurriedly escaped.

People on the street outside started to stop and look up at the upper floors of the hotel.

From the outside of the hotel, the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors looked as if bombs were being detonated one after another, with smoke and dust suddenly billowing out of each window, accompanied by heavy, loud bangs.

While others were completely baffled, Old Wolf and his companions had already figured it out.

Old Wolf's expression was strange. He said, "That guy wouldn't be demolishing the house while fighting, would he? He can blow up walls with just his fists and feet?"

Kotaro nodded solemnly and said, "I'm afraid so... Is that guy getting more and more terrifying?"

“He was always that terrifying.” Lu Zizhen shrugged. “He was just more low-key when he was with you guys in Puan City.”

Huaiyin looked at Lu Zizhen and asked, "Sister Lu, do we still need to call the exorcists to clean up the mess?"

Lu Zizhen frowned as she looked up at the upper floors, then looked down at Huaiyin and said, "Hmm... then I'll go and inform the exorcists. You guys stay here and maintain order. Remember, Huaiyin, don't wander off!"

Huaiyin nodded obediently.

Lu Zizhen left the crowd and went to a secluded place, where she took out her phone.

But instead of notifying the exorcist, she clicked on... her own website, "Paranormal Activity."

Chapter 238 Escape

[Paranormal Activity]

[Discussion Board: Real-time]

[Pinned Post: Tamamo-no-Mae's Battle Against an Unknown Exorcist]

That night, almost all users of paranormal websites received this post from the website administrator.

A bizarre scene suddenly unfolded in Tokyo and the surrounding cities and prefectures.

On the streets and in the buildings, many people suddenly put down what they were doing, picked up their phones, and looked at the messages displayed on the screen with meaningful or surprised expressions.

[Sadako: The resurrection of Tamamo-no-Mae has been confirmed. A mysterious exorcist is currently battling Tamamo-no-Mae in Nikko City.]

Then came a video.

The video shows a hotel under the night sky, with explosion-like roars coming from the upper floors. Dust occasionally sprays out of the windows of the rooms, or flashes of light mixed with reddish gold and pink.

Although neither Tamamo-no-Mae nor the exorcist appeared in the video, the users of the website "Paranormal Activity" had all personally witnessed evil spirits, so they did not doubt Tamamo-no-Mae's existence, and... the poster was the website administrator.

The site administrator with the ID "Sadako" has provided absolutely accurate information to date, and the information she publishes is inherently highly credible.

Tamamo-no-Mae is real...

After the news broke on paranormal activity, it quickly spread across various social media platforms.

Social networking sites, Twitter, and private chats within various small circles...

It is foreseeable that, regardless of how many people ultimately believe this video, it is only a matter of time before Tamamo-no-Mae's existence is made public.

And this is precisely Lu Zizhen's goal.

With Tamamo-no-Mae's appearance, she will thoroughly expose the existence of evil spirits to the public, making it impossible for anyone to ignore.

The evil spirits of today are no longer nightmares that can only be seen in dreams, no longer spying from the shadows, no longer the shaking and fluttering of strange objects.

The evil spirits of today are truly present in the world, observable by ordinary people, and possessing abilities unimaginable to ordinary people.

………………

Dou Tang was completely unaware of everything Lu Zizhen had done.

He was now immersed in the exhilarating outburst of joy.

"Drink!" Dou Tang marched through the dilapidated corridor like a bull, each heavy punch accompanied by a thunderous roar.

Opposite him, Tamamo-no-Mae had rolled up her sleeves at some point, her black hair had turned crimson gold, and she wore a maniacal laugh, her slender hands unleashing power beyond human capabilities.

The two fought with overwhelming force; the buildings that humans had painstakingly constructed seemed as loose and fragile as tofu in their hands.

Dou Tang suddenly lifted Tamamo-no-Mae up and slammed her against the wall. Amidst the wall's mournful thud, Dou Tang clung tightly to Tamamo-no-Mae's shoulders.

He used his arms to push her through several rooms, then tossed her aside like a rag.

With her face covered in dust, Tamamo-no-Mae adjusted herself in mid-air, landed lightly, and stood in the corridor outside the room, looking into the room.

"Whoosh—" A chair suddenly flew out of the room. With a casual wave of her hand, Tamamo-no-Mae shattered the solid wood chair into countless wood chips, which scattered all over the floor.

"I really miss fighting with you in such a wild and brutal way," she murmured thoughtfully.

The next moment, Dou Tang rushed out of the room, his whole body moving as fast as if flying close to the ground. He raised his foot and kicked at Tamamo-no-Mae.

Tamamo-no-Mae dodged to the side, then drew a circle with her left hand and struck Tou-Tang in the abdomen, sending him flying.

After landing, Dou Tang stretched his shoulders, his eyes still fixed on Tamamo-no-Mae beneath his helmet, and walked up again.

“Fighting like this is pointless, Ren Doutang.” Tamamo-no-Mae sighed. “Where’s your sword? Could it be that you’ve moved to a different world and don’t even have a sword anymore?”

Dou Tang clenched his fist, wisps of black mist swirling around it, and said, "That's none of your business."

He rushed forward again and engaged Tamamo-no-Mae in combat.

This time, Dou Tang's boxing style changed again. It was no longer the Tongbei Fist, which was wide open and invincible, but his signature Wu Family Thirteen Postures. The wind of his fist sometimes turned into soft water and sometimes as fierce as raging waves. The changes in his fist style suddenly increased and became unpredictable.

This means that Dou Tang has started to get serious.

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes narrowed, clearly realizing that Dou Tang was finally getting serious, so she sneered, "So all that fighting you did just now was to catch up with me?"

"I'm testing you to see if you have any new tricks up your sleeve," Dou Tang replied coldly.

"...You really underestimate me, don't you?" Tamamo-no-Mae's face showed disgust: "What I hate most is your arrogance that comes from the bottom of your bones."

"You treat your opponents like mere missions, looking down on everyone from a superior position... It's infuriating that you look down on even a great demon like me like this!"

Dou Tang did not respond at all, but simply raised his hand to push away Tamamo-no-Mae's sharp claws, and then stabbed at Tamamo-no-Mae's neck with his left hand in the shape of an eagle claw.

Tamamo-no-Mae narrowly dodged the attack. She was already far inferior to Dou Tang in combat, and now Dou Tang was also empowered by the power of the Ito Crown. His movements were swift and his attacks were ruthless. In close combat, she was no match for him at all.

Moreover... now that she's had enough fun, seen her old friends, and is getting a little tired of Tamamo-no-Mae.

Her eyes darkened slightly: "I thought that you would become a little more interesting after you were in a different world."

Dou Tang narrowed his eyes: "I don't need to make you find it interesting."

Tamamo-no-Mae sighed, took several steps back, and with a wave of her slender hand, bursts of crimson-gold light fell from her fingertips, transforming into a gauze-like barrier that stood between the two.

Ignoring everything else, Dou Tang raised his fist and smashed it down. The moment the gauze curtain touched his fist, it disintegrated into countless tiny points of light.

Seeing this, Tamamo-no-Mae showed no reaction, as if she had expected it. She continued to retreat, and layers of gauze curtains enveloped the entire corridor. Behind the layers of crimson-gold light, Tamamo-no-Mae's figure became blurred.

Dou Tang can easily tear a single layer of gauze curtain, but if many layers are added together, Dou Tang will move at a slower pace, just like when facing extremely resilient silk.

He reached out and grabbed the gauze curtain, tearing it apart. Groaning with increasing frustration, he growled, "What, trying to run away again? Want to play cat and mouse with me one more time?!"

Tamamo-no-Mae, behind the gauze curtain, sighed and said, "Who told me I really couldn't beat you? But luckily, you're still helpless against barriers."

"I haven't seen enough of this world yet, so I'm taking my leave now!"

She raised her hand sweetly to say goodbye, a smile on her face, and slowly walked into a room next door.

After Dou Tang tore through all the gauze curtains and broke into the room, Tamamo-no-Mae was already standing on the balcony railing.

She spread her hands slightly, her skirt billowing in the wind, and Tamamo-no-Mae, with her back to the city, seemed to be draped in neon lights.

"Don't worry, I don't want to run back to China this time." She raised a finger to her lips and winked at Dou Tang. "Our cross-world cat-and-mouse game, round two begins!"

After saying that, she leaped backward and, amidst the gasps of countless people below, transformed into a giant cloud wrapped in crimson-gold silk, drifting away into the distance.

Dou Tang walked to the balcony, pressed his hand on the railing, and unconsciously left his handprint on it.

He didn't chase after them, for some reason.

Chapter 239: The Curtain Rises

At least a hundred people witnessed Tamamo-no-Mae leaping from a high place and transforming into wisps of cloud that drifted into the distance.

The wispy clouds drifted and rose in the air, their golden color gradually fading until they turned completely black and blended into the night, becoming almost imperceptible.

People's attention returned to the building, looking at the man in a suit and a scarlet helmet.

Dou Tang stood on the balcony watching Yu Zaoqian leave, and sighed.

Before a perfect technique can be developed to completely retain Tamamo-no-Mae, it will be difficult for Dou Tang to capture her on his own.

It was because I was not prepared enough and acted hastily.

But apart from that, today

The biggest confusion for him was the moment he met Tamamo-no-Mae.

Why do I and she both experience a sharp pain in our heads the moment we meet?
