Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 10

...Wait, why is Fall Guys creepy?

I'm obviously very cute, okay?

The title of the latest video is also quite provocative.

"To exterminate evil spirits with tall, strong men on a campus brimming with youthful hormones."

...This is really stirring up trouble, Lu Zizhen.

Holding up his phone, Dou Tang made Kume Chinatsu stare at his phone from several meters away. The video showed Fall Guys sprinting down the corridor and then grabbing the vengeful spirit in blood-stained clothes. Two bystanders were blurred out, but one of them was undoubtedly Kume Chinatsu.

"Kume-kun has those strange talismans and knows about the existence of vengeful spirits. If that's the case, then the person in the video is undoubtedly you!"

At this moment, Dou Tang spoke in a questioning tone, pushing his phone forward. Although the two were several meters apart, Kume Chinatsu felt as if he were right in front of her, pressuring her to give the answer he wanted.

This move, this move, is called turning the tables!

"Uh... um..." She lowered her head somewhat shyly, considered for a moment, and then nodded.

“Yes…it really is me.” She quickly looked up and waved her hands to explain, “But I really don’t know anything about Fall Guys, I’m a victim too! I thought you…”

"What about me?" Dou Tang tilted his head.

“I thought you were him…that Fall Guy, I’m so sorry!” She suddenly bowed slightly, a gesture that made her look a bit like a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow).

"I really didn't know Kiryu-kun had so many secrets. I'm so sorry for my rudeness earlier!"

"A girl who trusts people so easily... won't there be any problems? How did she grow up to be this big?" Dou Tang thought to himself.

But that’s fine too.

Dou Tang waved his hand and smiled, saying, "No need to be so polite, Kume-kun. As the saying goes, 'No discord, no concord.' I think clearing up this misunderstanding will actually make us even closer than ordinary friends, since we already have a lot in common! What do you think?"

"No, no, no..." Kume Chinatsu frowned and stammered as she tried to repeat the sentence.

"No fight, no friendship... This is an ancient Chinese saying."

After saying that, Dou Tang spread his hands: "So, Kume-kun, can we get out of this awkward situation now? To be honest, if anyone else came over now, they might think I'm making things difficult for you or something..."

Chinatsu Kume scratched her face, realized it was true, grunted, and then tried to stand up.

"hiss……"

Are your legs numb?

"Um……"

You are truly the most refreshingly sexy girl I've ever seen.

Dou Tang walked over helplessly and extended his hand: "If you don't mind, I'll help you up."

But it was clear that Chinatsu Kume didn't like to bother people, or was very shy. She shook her head and declined Tou-tang's invitation, then slowly stood up and walked towards the stairwell, one step at a time.

When they reached the stairwell, Chinatsu Kume noticed that Toudou was still standing there without moving, so she leaned against the door frame and asked curiously, "Aren't you coming downstairs, Kiryu-kun?"

Dou Tang pointed to his legs and laughed, "Actually, my legs were numb too. I only felt them after I stood up and took a couple of steps. Hahaha, Kume-kun, please go downstairs first. I'll be there later."

Chinatsu Kume blushed slightly, then said, "Okay then. By the way, are you free after school today, Kiryu-kun?"

"Ah! Please don't misunderstand! I just wanted to talk to you about the paranormal and Fall Guys, that's all!"

Dou Tang pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go back to be with my sister, so let's do it another day. How about Sunday?"

Of course, with Dou Tang's personality, he wouldn't understand the Japanese people's strangely reserved focus, and naturally he wouldn't have thought that his words would sound like a date invitation.

Fortunately, after hearing about Tou-Tang's story, Kume Chika's impression of him wasn't low. After all, he was one of only two people she knew who understood the supernatural and Fall Guys, and this person was obviously easier to get along with than a mysterious shrine maiden like Ringo Kami-saki.

She touched her face, which was slowly getting hot, and then nodded: "Okay, alright... Well, then... I'll find you during break time!"

After saying that, she touched her face and ran away in a flash.

After seeing Kume Chika off, Toudou even yawned.

Boring.

He looked up at the sky, where the clouds stretched out in patches, suggesting it might rain again. The sunlight had disappeared, the sky had darkened, and it felt rather cool.

The rooftop... not bad. She forgot to remind herself to lock the door again. Why not take a nap here?

With this in mind, he slowly walked to the stairwell, intending to climb to the top and rest for a while, but as soon as he climbed up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

...There is resentment here.

After thinking for a moment, he cleaved his arms together, making them thick and round, and plunged them directly into the concrete.

"Grumble gurgle..."

Digging, the Fall Guy-like arm possessed the superhuman strength to crush concrete and break steel bars, and soon, a pit was dug.

What appeared in the pit was a grayish-white skull.

Dou Tang's eyes slowly elongated, twisting into a shape that was no longer human. His whole body exuded a pink aura, and then he turned into a jelly bean.

He then stood up and did a few flexion-extension jumps.

Damn it, can't they really change this warm-up routine...?

Then, transformed into a jelly bean, he looked at the skull in the pit again, and sure enough, he saw wisps of black resentment swirling around it. Without a doubt, this skull was also part of a vengeful spirit.

Who could have suffered such treatment? What did this person do to incur such hatred from the killer, to the point of dismembering them and hiding the pieces on campus?

But this thing is so hard to carry...tsk, it's so round and conspicuous when stuffed into a bag.

But then an idea popped into his head. Dou Tang filled the nearby gravel and dust back up and patted it a couple of times. As long as no one was bored enough to climb up here, the skull would remain undiscovered.

After doing all this, he turned back into a human, jumped down, clapped his hands, and left the rooftop, making sure to lock the door leading to the rooftop again.

Chapter 18 This woman's nude ejaculation was photoshopped.

In the evening, after school, Dou Tang rushed home without stopping.

For him, the only purpose of the school was to give him an identity to unravel the secrets of the campus vengeful spirits as soon as possible. Apart from that, he had no interest in socializing or pandering; all social interactions were nothing more than playing along.

Even exchanging contact information with classmates is nothing more than that. In his view, the mundane campus life may one day belong to Huaiyin after the dust settles, but it will never belong to him.

On his very first night in this world, he decided that he would live as a being that slaughters evil spirits.

Back in the apartment building, before even opening the door, I could hear faint shouts coming from Lu Zizhen and Huaiyin.

As I opened the door, the setting sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, its last golden rays bathing the two people sitting on the floor. Sure enough, they were playing video games in the living room, shouting and yelling.

Huaiyin has completely become an internet addict. Is there something wrong with my parenting?

...It seems I never really educated her.

Huaiyin was still wearing her pajamas, while Lu Zizhen was wearing a Doutang shirt. She rolled up the sleeves of the loose shirt, giving it a girlfriend-style feel.

Dou Tang rubbed his arms: "I'm back. Also, the air conditioning was on too high!"

Startled by the voice, Huaiyin shrank back and quickly grabbed the remote to turn off the air conditioner. Lu Zizhen scoffed, "You still feel cold? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Even if I don't think you should have any self-awareness, shouldn't you? Who puts on more clothes when they're cold from the air conditioning?"

I walked in, put my schoolbag on the shoe rack by the door, and looked helplessly at the two...

A shut-in... no, there's one!

"If you're awake, go back to your own home! What's with staying here?!"

"Oh dear, I don't have any classes these two days, so let me stay here and keep Huaiyin company!"

As she spoke, Lu Zizhen, still holding the controller, turned her head and kissed Huaiyin on the cheek. Then, taking advantage of the moment, she accelerated past Huaiyin and exclaimed, "Whoosh! The honey trap has been a great success!"

Huaiyin was first taken aback, then her cheeks puffed up with anger as she continued playing the game.

Dou Tang sighed, opened the refrigerator and looked inside. It was completely empty except for the beer that Lu Zizhen had brought.

"How about we make beer-braised duck tonight?" he said casually, showing no sign of treating Lu Zizhen as an outsider.

"Yay!" Lu Zizhen cheered, then added, "Get me a can of beer!"

"Laoshan...where did you buy this thing?"

Dou Tang frowned, took out a can of beer, and casually tossed it to Lu Zizhen. She dropped the handle, caught it, and chuckled.

"It's really strange sometimes. You're Japanese, but you know so much about China. Talking to you is like meeting a fellow countryman."

She popped open the beer with a "plop," took a swig, let out a contented "ah," and leaned back against the sofa.

Dou Tang shook his head and said, "It's just a liking, let's not talk about that. I ran into that student at school today."

He also grabbed a can of beer, and just as he was about to open it, he saw Huaiyin, who had turned off the game, glaring at him. He was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and moved the beer further away, indicating that he wouldn't drink it.

Then, he reached into his pocket and pulled out Kume Chinatsu's lost student ID. If Kume Chinatsu had touched his pocket at school at noon today, she would have found that this guy was indeed Fall Guy.

Unfortunately, that's just a hypothetical.

Lu Zizhen swaggered over and sat down in front of Dou Tang, pressing her finger on her student ID card as she moved it in front of her and looked at it.

"Kume Chinatsu is a well-known underground idol. It is said that she was not discovered by any talent scout, but was randomly interviewed in Ikebukuro. Based on her seemingly glamorous but actually pure and sensible personality, she was pulled into a program by the production team to record an episode. Through this episode, she has taken one foot into the idol circle. She is a very talented girl."

She took another sip of her drink and asked, "How have things been with you?"

"I made up a story, a mix of truth and fiction, and managed to fool them," Dou Tang replied, his hands folded.

Their conversation seemed too brief, yet it also seemed to contain emotions and an atmosphere that no one else could intrude upon. Perhaps this was simply how these two eccentric individuals interacted.

Huaiyin sat on the sofa, a mixture of curiosity and fear, watching the two of them and listening to their conversation without saying a word.

Many times, she suppressed herself in front of the sober Dou Tang, but Dou Tang seemed indifferent, or rather, he was completely unaware that he was incredibly clumsy in this regard.

“It would be too troublesome if someone like that knew your identity.” Lu Zizhen sighed, then said, “Alright, let’s go out to buy groceries. I have something to tell you… No, wait, rather than that, I’d like to go out to buy groceries with Huaiyin.”

Although he had some doubts, Dou Tang's principle was to never do anything unnecessary, so he did not object, but simply nodded slightly and began to take money out of his wallet.

Lu Zizhen chuckled, straightened up, patted Dou Tang's face, and breathed on Dou Tang's face with a faint smell of alcohol. "Save your breath. How much money can a high school student like you make from part-time jobs? Tonight, it's my treat, understand?"

Dou Tang frowned: "Stop buying any more alcohol. Also, when are you going back to your own home?"

Lu Zizhen shrugged and shook the beer can in her hand: "Who knows? Let's wait until I've had enough of playing games with Huaiyin!"

She suddenly stood up, slammed the beer on the table, ripped off her shirt, and with a flourish, slung it over Dou Tang's head, teasingly saying, "Alright! Go and let your excess teenage hormones waft off in my fragrant body odor! Get it done before we come back from grocery shopping!"

Dou Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Who would do such a thing?"

"Hmm? Do you feel the scale isn't big enough?" Lu Zizhen lifted the neckline of her tank top. Although her breasts weren't large, she had a strange charm, perhaps stemming from her outstanding personality.

She bent over, revealing the dark embroidery inside her collar to Dou Tang, and stuck out her tongue: "Is this enough?"

"I saw Haneda Airport."

Lu Zizhen's veins immediately bulged, she scoffed, picked up her transparent-sleeved baseball jersey from the sofa, held it behind her back with one hand, and pulled Huaiyin up from the sofa: "Come on, come on, forget about your clueless brother, I'll take you to buy pudding!"

Huaiyin hummed in agreement, quickly went into the bathroom to change her clothes, and then took Lu Zizhen's hand and left the room, leaving Dou Tang alone.

Dou Tang picked up the half-finished wine from Lu Zizhen on the table and took a swig. He didn't care about the so-called indirect kiss, and neither did Lu Zizhen. Their relationship was like a combination of best friends and close buddies.

"Ding dong."

Dou Tang picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Lu Zizhen.

The message contained only one picture: a photo of her shirtless, looking in the mirror, covering her chest with one finger. Judging from the background, it was the Kiryu family's bathroom.

"Ding dong."

She sent another message, accompanied by a mischievous little devil emoji.

It was taken this morning.

Oh, before you woke up. And thank goodness you really did pretend to be asleep! What would have happened if you'd barged into the bathroom then?

Dou Tang smiled helplessly and took another swig of wine.

In a time when evil spirits surround us and life is not safe, perhaps it is these kinds of things that allow Dou Tang to feel a touch of youth and indulgence from this absurd city.

The setting sun outside the window slowly sank below the horizon, its rays slipping away from the tabletop, and Dou Tang's upper body disappeared into the faint darkness.

Chapter 19 Can't we give the ghost some face?

Lu Zizhen led the somewhat timid Huaiyin to a supermarket near the apartment building. None of the three of them had the habit of shopping at convenience stores because things there were more expensive than in supermarkets. The three of them often traveled around Tokyo, so they were financially strapped.

"Huaiyin, what kind of person was your brother when he was a child?"

Carrying a shopping basket, Lu Zizhen asked as she selected ingredients.

Huaiyin pursed her lips, lowered her head somewhat fearfully, but her eyes remained fixed on Lu Zizhen.

She didn't really want to answer the question because Tou Tang had told her to avoid revealing what Kiryu Tou Tang used to be like to outsiders, since it might expose his identity.
