Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 136

Although not as awe-inspiring as in the actual myths, Lu Zizhen still found it difficult.

But regardless, Dou Tang is the person I chose, and his special status should be a good thing. Who wouldn't want the person they like to become stronger?

Now, it has been proven that Dou Tang is not only powerful, but also extremely special, so special that... he is both a stepping stone to the new era and a nemesis of evil spirits, and even a competitor for the final resting place of souls.

Is he the strongest vengeful spirit in Japan...? Taira no Masakado, that's the name of my new enemy.

For some reason, Lu Zizhen, who liked to take risks, began to get excited.

She was originally just a bad woman burdened with many sins and secretly doing countless bad things. Well... she was very aware of this and understood that she could not extricate herself from it.

Now, things will become even more complicated for him, and he and Dou Tang will be drawn into an even more insane vortex.

Crown Games, a war between evil spirits from the old and new eras, now also includes vengeful spirits from the Sanzu River.

A massive, frenzied hurricane is forming, drawing in all people and evil spirits. Although there will be no earth-shattering battles like those in myths, in this forest of steel, humans and evil spirits will constantly probe each other in the shadows and eventually clash.

Just thinking about it made Lu Zizhen feel excited.

She bit the lollipop, licked her lips, and said, "Taira no Masakado... Okay, I understand. Is there anything else?"

"The great vengeful spirit of Kyoto, Sugawara no Michimasa, is heading to Tokyo. He says he has some private matters to attend to and claims he has no malicious intent."

Lu Zizhen chewed on some crumbs of candy, nodded, and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Hmm... there are some other minor things, such as the Onmyoji who has recently appeared in Tokyo who uses a Kamaitachi familiar and has become somewhat famous. However, he is not famous for this, but rather for promoting the concept of 'new era evil spirits' to some exorcists."

It seems that it was that fake Ito priest, Ito Raimoto, who did it.

Lu Zizhen continued, "What's that Onmyoji's name? And what are these New Era Evil Spirits?"

"This Onmyoji, who calls himself Nine Leaf Raimoto, claims that evil spirits of the new era are being born from people's minds. For example, Kisaragi Station and Siren Head, which originally belonged to urban legends, have become reality in this year because of people's minds."

“Miss Lu Zizhen, if that’s the case, then the blue demon you exorcised before should also be the same kind of thing.”

Lu Zizhen chuckled dismissively: "Come on, you're basically implying that the Fall Guys I've been in contact with are the same new evil spirits, aren't you?"

"No... I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

The person on the other end of the phone quickly apologized.

"Alright, that's all I need to know... Oh, by the way, help me get a few high-level jobs."

"Yes, I understand... I will send you the information later, still about the Tokyo area, right?"

"Ah."

She hung up the phone and looked out of the car.

A young girl was standing in front of my car.

She raised an eyebrow, having already secretly prepared the talisman. She never treated accidents as simple events, but rather preferred to imagine them as traps aimed at her.

Only in this way can she live well and never fall into someone else's trap.

The girl was wearing a cute black dress and looked very quiet and well-behaved. If we had to talk about her temperament, she might be somewhat similar to Huaiyin.

She was standing outside the car, curiously looking at Lu Zizhen inside.

Lu Zizhen opened the car door and got out, resting her hand on the door as she teased, "Little girl, do you want to take a ride in my car?"

The girl seemed quite interested in the suggestion, and actually thought about it for a moment before shaking her head regretfully and saying, "I'm sorry, sister, I don't have time today."

"However... I can tell that you are indeed very suitable." She suddenly smiled sweetly, her eyes scrutinizing.

Lu Zizhen was annoyed by that gaze and frowned, saying, "You... want something from me?"

Something was off about the girl in front of me.

"No, I just came to see you, but seeing how cautious you are, I feel a little relieved. At least you can complement him." The girl continued to smile, leaned closer to Lu Zizhen, and suddenly reached behind her.

Lu Zizhen jumped back instantly, her hand already full of talismans, but when she looked closely, the girl's figure flashed in front of the car and disappeared in an instant.

There was a tomato on the hood of the car, I don't know when.

Chapter 22 Foot Fetishist

Dou Tang slept in late, something he hadn't done in a long time.

When he woke up, it was already daylight outside.

It's the weekend, and there are no classes at school, so there's no rush.

Rubbing his head, Dou Tang felt like he had a nice dream, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't recall it.

Forget it, I don't want to.

He looked around and found that Huaiyin was not in the living room, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Dou Tang stood up and rubbed his neck in confusion. For some reason, his neck felt sticky, as if he had sweated a lot before.

It shouldn't be...

Picking up the long sword that he had carelessly tossed on the sofa the night before, Dou Tang opened the door to Bai's room. The strange creatures inside immediately became restless, seemingly curious about what had happened earlier.

These guys' resentment hasn't gotten stronger, but they seem to be getting more and more rational.

Hundreds of strange objects gathered together, intermingling and merging like a breeding ground for poisonous insects, seemingly constantly evolving... But Dou Tang wasn't worried; this level of resentment posed no threat to him or Huai Yin.

Placing the long sword on the bed covered with a white cloth, Dou Tang looked at the strange creatures in the room and said, "Behave yourselves and don't cause me any trouble."

The faint black mist in the room trembled, as if in response to his words.

Dou Tang closed the door to the white room again, sighed, and walked to the open kitchen to prepare a meal.

But before he even opened the refrigerator, he saw two plates of food already laid out on the cutting board.

A plate of tomatoes with sugar, a plate of stir-fried mushrooms with lots of garlic, and fried croquettes.

The garlic in the stir-fried mushrooms with garlic was chopped into extremely large pieces, which shows that it was made by someone who doesn't cook often. It seems that it was made by Huaiyin.

Dou Tang picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of tomato, and put it in his mouth. He remembered that this was his favorite dish in his previous life, but he was too lazy to cook it when he lived alone.

I like to eat, but I never eat much.

Why...?

Dou Tang put down his chopsticks, looking somewhat puzzled, but still wearing a smile.

"Click."

The sound of water in the bathroom had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by the sound of the door opening.

Wearing thick pajamas, Huaiyin walked out of the bathroom while drying her hair. When she saw Doutang standing in front of the counter, she paused for a moment, seemingly a little shy, and turned her head away, pursing her lips.

"Good morning...brother."

Dou Tang blinked.

...Something feels off.

He kept staring at Huaiyin while putting another tomato in his mouth and nodded, saying, "Good morning, Huaiyin."

Seeing his appearance, Huaiyin was speechless and finally let out a long sigh.

Just as Huaiyin was lamenting how slow-witted he was, Doutang's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Huaiyin, I have something very important to tell you."

Huaiyin suddenly felt a renewed sense of hope, pricked up her ears, straightened her chest, and looked at Doutang.

“Last night was far too dangerous!” Dou Tang said sternly.

Huaiyin choked back a sob.

“Although the breakfast you made was delicious, now is not the time to eat!” Dou Tang put down his chopsticks and pointed to the floor mat that had not yet been put away.

"Go sit over there, sit properly!"

Huaiyin pouted and walked over.

Dou Tang also walked over, sat down on the sofa with an air of authority, looked at Huai Yin kneeling in front of him, and snorted.

"Today I must show you what it means to know yourself and your enemy and never be defeated, and what it means to never fight a battle unprepared!"

Fifteen minutes later, when Huaiyin felt her legs were starting to ache, Dou Tang finally let out another cold snort.

After taking a few breaths, I gradually calmed down.

"Cuckoo..."

Dou Tang's stomach wisely growled.

He awkwardly clutched his stomach and looked up at the ceiling.

"……Let's eat."

While the two were eating, Dou Tang suddenly picked up the plate of sugar-coated tomatoes and made a move to pour it into Huai Yin's bowl.

Huaiyin, who was eating a croquette, stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Doutang poured most of a plate of tomatoes into her bowl. Then she blinked and looked at Doutang.

Dou Tang didn't notice her gaze at all, and just continued eating, looking somewhat absent-minded.

"What's the plan for today?" Dou Tang asked while eating mushrooms.

Huaiyin picked up her bowl and started picking at the tomatoes, smiling sweetly. Under the table, her legs kept crossing, occasionally kicking Doutang's leg.

"No, I might play games with my friends at night, but I'm fine during the day. What about you, brother?"

Dou Tang glanced at her, then reached under the table and pressed down on Huaiyin's right foot, making her obediently rest it on his thigh.

Huaiyin's face flushed instantly when her still-wet feet, which had just been showered, were so roughly held down. She nervously picked at the tomatoes in her bowl, glancing at Dou Tang every now and then.

Dou Tang held her foot in one hand, feeling the softness and elasticity of the girl's feet, while continuing to eat with the other hand, and said calmly, "Let's go out and buy clothes later. Lu Zizhen said she would take me to see her friend, what was her name again... Yan Yuanmei, um, I still remember."

Huaiyin's eyes were already brimming with tears. She nervously twisted her toes, feeling the warm, large hand completely encircling her instep, and became increasingly shy.

Before she knew it, she was practically lying on the table, her eyes peeking out from behind the bowl, staring at Dou Tang's profile with a strange look.

Dou Tang only felt that Huai Yin's feet were soft and comfortable to pinch, and did not pay attention to Huai Yin's expression at all. Instead, he continued to think about things and rambled on, "Last night on the way to save you, I also encountered a new group of bikers. Those guys called themselves headless dogs... and said that they were the ones who destroyed Ghost Island. They even... hehehe, said that I was their leader, but in fact they didn't even know me."

"It seems that Iwabuchi Mei had a deep connection with biker gangs before becoming a designer. I think she might know some secrets that even Lu Zizhen doesn't know."

“I’m fed up with the process of having to wipe out one biker gang after another, and I’m fed up with it. I have to solve this problem at its root.”

Huaiyin suddenly trembled, and the chair made a clattering sound.

Dou Tang looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Huaiyin suddenly kicked Doutang hard, freeing her foot, then nodded and said, "Hmph, so you went to find someone else to resolve things, right? You should make more friends!"

Dou Tang was completely bewildered when he saw Huai Yin, who was blushing and looked like she was about to cry, suddenly starting to complain about herself.

"Making friends...Isn't it more troublesome for someone like me to make friends?"

But... without realizing it, I actually already have a lot of friends.

Youhei, who idolizes himself; Michiko, who fights alongside him; Ejima Iya, who sacrifices his life and soul to suppress evil spirits; Aida Gaku, a bald monk who drinks and smokes; Mikazuki, a cat demon who appears and disappears unpredictably; and Kume Chinatsu, who is silly but always optimistic and brave...

Ms. Kyoko, radiating maternal love; the two sisters, Mizue and Kanae, with their contrasting personalities; and the gentle yet determined Nagai Ibuki…

I have indeed gotten to know many people without realizing it, and I no longer unilaterally reject all feelings like before.

Dou Tang sighed and said, "But perhaps I should make more friends."

Chapter 23 We Didn't Elope

After the two finished their meal, Huaiyin sat in Doutang's lap and let him straighten her hair. After spending a long time choosing clothes, they finally went out.

To match Huaiyin's style, Doutang didn't go for the usual "cool and edgy" techwear look. Instead, she opted for a minimalist style, wearing a matcha green sweatshirt with a pure white bucket hat and light yellow puffy trousers, but with the ankles slightly tapered.

Putting on his high-top sneakers, Dou Tang bowed slightly and looked at Huai Yin in front of him.

Huaiyin untied the necklace in her hand and put it on him with a smile. Then she put a pair of light green and white gradient glasses with gold frames on him.

"This thing doesn't even seem like sunglasses," Dou Tang remarked, lightly lifting the frame with his middle finger.

“Brother, this is called fashion.” Huaiyin grinned mischievously. “You’re going to meet a fashion designer! You need to show her your taste so you don’t embarrass yourself.”

“But you were the one who picked out this outfit for me.” Dou Tang raised an eyebrow.

“If she says it looks good, just say I picked it. If she complains that it looks bad, just say you picked it randomly!” Huaiyin pointed a finger at Doutang’s nose.

Dou Tang chuckled but did not refute.

Huaiyin's outfit today is also very interesting. Since Yanyuanmei is a designer who specializes in designing functional clothing, she can't choose functional clothing herself, otherwise it would be like showing off her skills in front of an expert.

The girl's competitive spirit was rising; she was determined not to lose to anyone!
