Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 302

Although the three have not known each other for long, their past experiences have led them to develop an unreserved trust in each other. This friendship is so genuine that even someone as awkward as Dou Tang can readily acknowledge it.

Dou Tang began processing the Wagyu beef. The Wagyu beef that Lao Lang bought was of a very high grade, packaged in a luxurious wooden box, which looked full of consumerist atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Kotaro began processing matsutake mushrooms.

The gifts the two brought were used to make a lavish dinner, and the group chatted and ate, which was quite nice.

While processing the beef, Dou Tang talked about his relationship with Jiangdao Yizai, of course, after omitting the Fall Guys part.

While they were chatting, they could hear the old wolf howling from time to time, as well as Huaiyin's mocking laughter.

After finishing his conversation about Ejima Iya, Kotaro asked, "Kiryu-kun seems to be quite famous in Tokyo?"

"Why do you say that?"

“Because…” Kotaro sliced ​​the matsutake mushroom into pieces, “I learned from Mr. Aida that Kiryu-kun is a remarkable figure among Tokyo exorcists, even though he uses your alias, Mr. Ren.”

"I heard you even killed Taira no Masakado, that's unbelievable." Kotaro was clearly very curious. "Just what kind of being was Taira no Masakado? He was an evil spirit from a thousand years ago. Are there really evil spirits that have existed for so long in this world?"

"Whether he has existed for a thousand years, I don't know." Dou Tang shook his head. "But in terms of strength, he is indeed above you and Old Wolf. He is a rare and formidable enemy. To be honest, I enjoyed the battle with him very much, although there was an accident later."

When the word "accident" was mentioned, Dou Tang looked up at Huai Yin and found that Huai Yin was also looking at her and Guang Taro, seemingly eavesdropping. After noticing Dou Tang looking over, she quickly turned her head away and pretended to be calm while whistling, which was just too obvious.

"I see... Could you tell me more about it?" Kotaro was very interested, after all, he had once been a history major in college.

Without hesitation, Dou Tang began to recount the battle with Taira no Masakado that night, but slightly downplayed his own presence, focusing instead on describing Taira no Masakado.

The meal was ready in no time. Half of the Wagyu beef and matsutake mushrooms were made into sukiyaki, while the other half were grilled. Tou Tang found the electric grill that Lu Zizhen had bought a long time ago.

"To be honest, your sudden visit is quite a surprise," Dou Tang said while heating a pan with butter. "The New Year is almost here, and I was just thinking of going to visit you and see how things are going in Pu'an City."

"The situation in Urayasu City..." Old Wolf said, reaching for the sukiyaki pot next to him with his chopsticks.

Kotaro slapped Old Wolf's chopsticks aside.

"What are you doing?" The old wolf bared its teeth.

"You stinky dog, the pot hasn't even boiled yet." Kotaro snorted, then continued, "Urayasu City has stabilized now, but... a new problem has emerged."

"The exorcists who returned to Urayasu City don't seem to be on the same side." He frowned slightly. "They are clearly divided into two factions, fighting against each other, and instead of investigating whether there are any half-demons who have escaped, they are only concerned with fighting among themselves."

"Only concerned with internal strife?" Dou Tang asked with some curiosity.

Now that Urayasu City is free from the threat of half-demons, it should quickly return to its stable state before the half-demons disappeared. So what's with the exorcists fighting amongst themselves over there?

"It's said that there are problems within the Exorcist Association," Old Wolf said mysteriously.

Chapter 191 New News

From Lao Lang and Guang Taro, Dou Tang understood the current situation.

Due to the previous chaos in Urayasu City, the Exorcist Association is now in disarray and even at risk of splitting up.

Such a heinous evil incident could occur in a city so close to Tokyo.

Suiten Keisaburo's status within the association has plummeted. He is currently exhausted from the pressure of the official investigation and has no time to manage the association's internal affairs.

It was during this period of inactivity that numerous incidents occurred within the association.

In addition to putting pressure on Suiten Keisaburo, the authorities also attempted to bypass him and directly contact and support other highly respected exorcists. These exorcists quickly formed a team, not only sending people to Urayasu City to investigate the half-demon incident, but also forming factions within the association.

"The split of the association is a foregone conclusion," Old Wolf concluded.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen." Dou Tang understood, but then added, "In that case, won't Pu'an City descend into chaos again?"

“Unlikely.” Old Wolf shook his head. “Tokyo is also under considerable pressure. According to Mr. Aida, there has been a surge in evil incidents in the cities and prefectures surrounding Tokyo recently. As a result, the internal divisions within the association have been suppressed and will not erupt until the crisis in Tokyo is resolved.”

Dou Tang asked curiously, "Are there many evil spirits around Tokyo? What's going on?"

"I don't know the specifics either." Old Wolf took a bite of meat and chewed as he said, "That bald guy from Aida didn't tell us much. By the way, Kiryu-kun, as an exorcist in Tokyo, how come you're less informed than us?"

Dou Tang suddenly stopped and then remained silent.

Old Wolf raised an eyebrow, thinking there was some unspeakable reason.

But Huaiyin, standing to the side, laughed and exposed him, saying, "Brother completely ignores those association people, he doesn't even have many exorcist friends... and he doesn't care about current events either."

Kotaro: "A retired old man?"

"Pfft, hahahahahaha..." Old Wolf burst into laughter.

Dou Tang sighed: "I just want to live a peaceful life. The troubles and disturbances of those exorcists have nothing to do with me."

“But…” he frowned slightly, “if a large number of evil spirits appear near Tokyo, then that will be related to me.”

The old wolf nodded and continued eating meat, with high-grade grilled matsutake mushrooms wrapped around slices of beef, a very luxurious way to eat.

Kotaro then said, "Speaking of which, there's something I've always been curious about: why does Kiryu-kun possess such great power?"

"I learned from Mr. Aida that it seems everything originated from the so-called new era a year ago. But what exactly does this new era refer to?"

The new era... This is a topic that no exorcist or evil spirit can avoid.

Since Dou Tang descended into this world on that summer night more than a year ago, his extraordinary power has grown at a rapid pace, like a seed that has been nourished by rain.

Shikigami become reality, demons transform from the ethereal into the tangible, and the power of exorcists transitions from secret prayers to radiant condensation into substance. From the moment Dou Tang descended, the entire world has been rushing headlong towards the direction of magic without hesitation.

Even among ordinary people, all sorts of magical powers have emerged. These powers, born from the soul and obsession, either enhance the physical body or bring other strange abilities. Although the Exorcist Association is trying its best to maintain balance, a large number of so-called "superpowered individuals" have appeared on the internet.

Although these people's superpowers are relatively ordinary and can generally be categorized as magic, the fact that such power appears in ordinary people out of nowhere has already made exorcists feel a sense of crisis.

Of course, Dou Tang was completely unaware of this, even though the new era might very well have started because of him, he felt nothing at all.

"I don't know." Dou Tang shook his head. "I have absolutely no idea, and it doesn't matter to me."

He held his rice bowl, looking nonchalant: "Anyway, no one can beat me."

Upon hearing this, Huaiyin covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

Old Wolf slapped his thigh: "That really sounds like something you would say."

"That's exactly what you said, it makes me want to punch you!"

Kotaro continued, "The new era... seems to be related to all those superpowered people online. Last time I even saw someone whose fingers could spray water."

"It's a shame he didn't join the fire department," Kotaro said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the old wolf croaked happily, looking like a husky.

The four of them finished their meal while chatting and laughing. After Dou Tang tidied up, the four of them sat on opposite sides of the living room and watched TV. Old Wolf then said, "If a large group of monsters really wants to enter Tokyo and cause trouble, should we take action?"

He raised one hand high, his expression full of interest: "Kamen Rider is back!"

Kotaro said coldly, "I've enrolled in the new study program; I have to attend classes before the New Year."

"I advise you to walk the straight path, otherwise you'll end up relying on Harui-san to support you. Don't you feel ashamed?"

The old wolf lowered his raised hand naturally, smoothing his white, tousled hair: "A proud and handsome wolf demon like me, wouldn't it be fine to just become a gigolo?"

"Making money is something that happens in no time."

"Speaking of money," Old Wolf looked around, "this house is rented by Kiryu-kun, right? If Kiryu-kun is still a student, does he have to go out and work part-time all the time?"

He then looked Dou Tang up and down and said, "Why don't you become my gigolo too? You have such a good figure and a pretty face. This line of work has a bright future."

money?

Dou Tang yawned.

"I have over 100 million in savings."

The old wolf suddenly sprang up and shoved himself close to Dou Tang: "Kiryu-kun, I've recently spotted a stock that's guaranteed to make money. Do you own it...?"

Dou Tang glanced at him, a strange smile playing on her lips.

With a strange smile, he said, "Ah, of course, Old Wolf. What kind of relationship do we have? A life-or-death friendship, right?"

"How about I give you ten million?"

Old Wolf's gaze shifted from ingratiating to shock, then to seriousness, as he looked at Huaiyin beside him: "Does your brother sometimes have these episodes? Has he been to the hospital?"

Dou Tang slapped Old Wolf on the head.

Old Wolf scratched his head and turned around. Dou Tang snorted and said, "Giving you money is nothing, but would you really take it like that?"

"How could that be..." Old Wolf chuckled, "Just kidding."

"By the way, back to the main topic, do you have any ideas about those evil spirits around Tokyo?" Old Wolf continued.

"Yes." Dou Tang nodded: "I'm very interested, but I don't want to involve you."

"You've fought for so long, and finally you can live a normal life. If possible, you shouldn't get involved anymore," Dou Tang said honestly.

Old Wolf nodded thoughtfully.

Chapter 192 Why are you blushing?

It snowed in Saitama Prefecture.

Saitama Prefecture was shrouded in a light snow at this time, with white snowflakes dancing in the wind. Although the snow wasn't very heavy yet, it looked like it would last for a long time.

The warm streetlights illuminated the snow falling on the road. On the narrow street, the streetlights, emitting a dim yellow light, outlined triangular pillars of light due to the arrival of the thin snow. From a distance, they looked like illusory, tall figures sitting on both sides of the road.

The fake Kiryu, wearing a dark blue down jacket, walked down the street, his feet crunching through the snow.

After his encounter with Kiryu Toudou that night, the fake Kiryu felt uncomfortable all over his body, but it wasn't as simple as just being injured.

"Not being able to eat or drink" is an understatement; to put it bluntly, my mind is a complete mess.

Is it really possible to work with him?

However, I can't beat him, and if I don't cooperate with him, I'm afraid I'll never know the secret behind him...

With him... ugh, just thinking about his appearance makes me feel...

So annoying!

As they walked, the fake Kiryu suddenly scratched his head hard, becoming furious.

But just then, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from not far away.

It appears that someone is running.

As the fake Kiryu was wondering, he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, as if they were running towards him.

...They came looking for me? That shouldn't be the case...

Just as he was wondering, a person ran out from the street corner not far away. The person had a handsome face and a petite figure, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female at first glance.

He ran along the road, and there were more than a dozen people following behind him. Those people had fierce expressions and were obviously not good people.

The fake Kiryu had no intention of meddling in other people's business, and took two steps back to make way for them.

Unexpectedly, the person being chased not far away recognized the fake Kiryu under the streetlight and beamed with joy, waving his hand and shouting, "Kiryu-kun! Come help me!"

...? !

The fake Kiryu looked completely bewildered. Before he could react, Nagaibuki had already run to his side, panting, "Kiryu-kun, ha, ha... what are you doing here?"

"Um... please help me!" Nagaibuki pointed at the dozen or so people chasing after them: "I really can't handle them by myself. I'll explain later! Anyway, they're all bad guys!"

The fake Kiryu pointed to his own face, puzzled, and asked, "What did you just call me?"

"Kiryu, Kiryu-kun, or rather..." Nagaibuki blushed slightly, "Should I call you by your name..."

He became somewhat hesitant and whispered, "Dou Tang... please help me!"

Did they mistake me for Kiryu Toudou...?

For some reason, the fake Kiryu felt a little unhappy. He suddenly realized that being treated as Kiryu Toudou wasn't as enjoyable as he had originally thought.

And this guy... he was just called by name, why is he blushing like that?

Are all of Kiryu Toudou's friends this strange...?

"Tch." Fake Kiryu scoffed again, clenching his fist, and said, "Alright, get out of the way, don't get hurt."

If I helped his friend here... that guy might even thank me next time we meet, right? After all, he seems pretty reasonable, and I did his friend a favor, so shouldn't he thank me properly?

Thinking of the scene where Kiryu Todo honestly thanked him, the fake Kiryu suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

After stretching his body, the fake Kiryu rushed forward without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the dozen or so men who had been chasing after Nagai shouted, "Are you looking for death?! Do you even know who we are?!"

"I fucking don't care who you are!" Fake Kiryu grinned evilly, took a running start, leaped into the air, kicked his right leg back and punched his right fist forward, unleashing a Superman punch that struck the leader's arm directly, shattering his momentum.

"Hiss..." The leader gasped in pain, while the people behind him swarmed forward, preparing to attack the fake Kiryu.
