Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 379

"Wait, since this vengeful spirit belongs to Yu Luo Miyo, why not seal it away first and try to communicate with it to get some clues?" Shinzen Ringo continued.

Ninomiya Yusuke took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger on his face. This exorcist, whose nature was too kind, was consumed by hatred but could not find a way to vent it.

"……Row."

“I understand how you feel.” Ringo patted him on the shoulder. “But the most important thing right now is to handle things properly here and preserve this only clue.”

Ninomiya Yuki nodded in agreement, but his clenched fist remained tightly closed.

He turned to suppress the vengeful spirit, while Ringo Shinzen turned back and walked out of the doorless room, looking at the senior and the photographer who were standing obediently in the corridor.

The senior streamer has stopped broadcasting because, apparently, a new hot topic emerged in Nikko City during his broadcast: the so-called battle between Tamamo-no-Mae and the man in the red helmet.

His live streams simply couldn't compare in popularity.

It was an urban legend that, under the watchful eyes of the public, could not be explained no matter how much it was suppressed.

Mythical monsters come to life, and a mysterious exorcist fights them with swords. A flurry of swordplay erupts in the middle of the street, and ominous black smoke spreads through the air, foreshadowing the arrival of the bizarre and supernatural.

Tamamo-no-Mae and the red-helmeted man, like actors in full costume, laughed loudly and put on a grand show that filled every seat, announcing to everyone.

It's as if it's saying, "Look, a new era has arrived, and a world where monsters and evil spirits are a reality has come to pass."

No one can escape, no one can avoid it.

Compared to Tamamo-no-Mae, who is already famous in traditional culture, people seem more curious about Dou Tang, who can fight against Tamamo-no-Mae. As a result, the red-helmeted man surrounded by black mist quickly became a trending topic, and many people are speculating about who this exorcist is and what his appearance represents.

Most importantly, what makes him capable of fighting a yokai of Tamamo-no-Mae's caliber, and why do they seem to be familiar with each other during their conversation?

The senior looked at his phone with a curious expression, constantly flipping through the recordings of Tamamo-no-Mae's previous battles.

"Wow, this is so cool! This fight is almost like RWBY. I always thought that kind of sharp and powerful fight only appeared in anime..." he kept exclaiming.

At that moment, Ringo Shinzen spoke up from not far away: "Hey, you two."

"Hey, oh, I'm here!" The senior hurriedly put away his phone.

“You can leave now, this is no longer your business.” Ringo Shinzen explained, “The vengeful spirits here have been dealt with. I think you’ve all seen the previous video. Take my advice, leave Nikko City, the farther the better.”

Upon hearing this, the senior remained silent for a moment, his eyes behind his thick glasses revealing his contemplation. After a while, he asked with some uncertainty, "Is that Tamamo-no-Mae very dangerous?"

Ringo Shinzen nodded: "That's a great monster that normal people can't understand at all. It's definitely not something that ordinary people can contend with."

"Then can you deal with her?" the senior asked again.

“Of course, no problem.” Ringo Shinzen patted her chest. “That’s what we exorcists do.”

"Then can I continue to follow you?" The senior suddenly raised his head, his eyes somewhat firm: "Although this request is a bit unreasonable... my curiosity simply cannot tolerate me running away like a coward."

"I...I want to use my own strength to witness and record the legendary stories and supernatural events that have happened in this city!" The senior gripped his phone tightly and raised it slightly, his expression resolute, a firm belief taking root in his heart!

As a veteran online video creator, Da Bei understands that a new era has arrived. Although he is an ordinary person, he is able to use his own advantages to delve into supernatural events and reveal the unknown side of the world from the perspective of an ordinary person!

This is what he is...

Just as the senior was lost in thought, Ninomiya Yuuki, who had finished containing the vengeful spirit, walked out of the room at some point and coldly poured a bucket of ice water on her: "So, are you prepared to die a violent death?"

"...Eh?" The senior looked at Ninomiya Yuuki blankly.

Ninomiya Yuuki's expression was gloomy, his eyes revealing hostility, and he said in an icy tone, "I understand your thoughts. You want to expose the existence of evil spirits and monsters, you want to open the door to a new world, and you are driven by curiosity to explore the mysterious supernatural world..."

“I know a paranormal broadcaster who loves exploring all sorts of haunted places, but guess what happened to him in the end?” Ninomiya Yusuke smiled with a hint of contempt: “He died in a barn, suspended in mid-air by the silk spun by a spider monster, his whole body swollen, with pus swaying and bubbling under his thin skin.”

"When I found him, a spider monster was lying on its web, gently prying open his skull with its sharp teeth and sucking out his brain and pus as if it were opening a can of soda."

"As his brains were being sucked out, his eyeballs continued to twitch, his face, swollen like a toad, twitched uncontrollably, but because his muscles had been dissolved, he could not control his jaw and let out a chilling low howl."

Upon hearing this, the senior suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

Yuki Ninomiya

He turned to look out the window: "This is what happens when ordinary people deliberately provoke evil spirits. This is the only possibility for ordinary people when facing those monsters."

"I couldn't even protect my own companions, and now you're telling us you want us to protect you, just so you can record those paranormal events and post them online so more people can see them?"

Beneath her golden eyeshadow, Yuuki Ninomiya's eyes, radiating murderous intent, slowly locked onto her senior.

"Get out of here, you idiot."

Chapter 343 Second Round

The senior's friendly smile froze on his face, then gradually turned into disappointment and embarrassment. He helplessly avoided Ninomiya Yuuki's gaze, and finally sighed.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean that...I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." The senior patted the photographer's arm. "We'll be leaving soon, and...I wish you all a speedy recovery of your companions."

After saying that, he turned and left with the photographer. Ninomiya Yusuke frowned when he saw this, but did not call him back.

“…Ninomiya-san, you can be quite gentle sometimes.” Ringo rubbed her chin.

“It’s better to scare them away with something like this than to let them ignore our warnings and try to get involved in all sorts of supernatural events, only to suffer the consequences themselves.” Ninomiya Yusuke sighed, looking at the amulet he was holding tightly in his hand. The amulet seemed to contain a living creature, with some bumps occasionally rising on the delicate fabric surface.

"Okay, I'll make a call first." Ringo Shinzen took out her phone.

But before she could unlock the screen, her phone rang, and at the same time, Ninomiya Yuki's phone also received a call.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously answered the phone.

One of the two phone calls was from Lu Zizhen, and the other was from Huaiyin.

………………

An hour later, Ninomiya Yuuki and Shinzen Ringo arrived at the hotel where Ji Zizhen was staying.

Ninomiya Yusuke knocked on the door in a flustered manner, and after a few knocks, Ji Zizhen opened the door.

"Where is the moon lute?" Ninomiya Yusuke hurriedly dodged past Lu Zizhen and entered the room.

Inside the room, Dou Tang and Huai Yin were sitting at the table, while Kurizaki Tsukiko lay on the bed next to them. Ninomiya Yujing rushed to the bedside, wanting to reach out and touch Kurizaki Tsukiko, but he was afraid of making a mistake, and he looked flustered and helpless.

Ringo Shinzen followed closely behind. Seeing that Huaiyin was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile to Doutang.

Dou Tang nodded in return.

"What happened to Yueqin? What happened to her?" Ninomiya Yujing turned to look at Lu Zizhen, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Dou Tang interrupted her hypnosis process with Tamamo-no-Mae, which prevented her from being completely bewitched, but she is now mentally unstable and has fallen into a coma."

Lu Zizhen walked to the window and sat down, looking at Ninomiya Yujing: "You should know very well what this means. It means that she has been possessed by a vengeful spirit and her spirit has been destroyed. If you want her to fully recover, you can only remove the resentment from her body and find a way to repair her spirit."

"...The only option is a long period of recuperation; there's no other way. And if the recuperation isn't done well, I'm afraid I'll become a vegetable." Lu Zizhen sighed, "And the kind of person who will never wake up."

Ninomiya Yusuke seemed to have all his strength suddenly drained away, and he plopped down on another bed, his hands trembling slightly.

"It seems you're the kind of person who doesn't cherish what you have until it's gone and then feels heartbroken." Lu Zizhen smiled slightly. "Don't be so pessimistic. Isn't there an even better way?"

Ninomiya Yusuke looked at Lu Zizhen.

Lu Zizhen whispered the best plan: "Kill Tamamo-no-Mae, so that the hypnosis spell will fail at its source. The resentment in her body will dissipate automatically, and there will be no aftereffects."

Hope rekindled in Ninomiya Yusuke's eyes: "Then, what about Tamamo-no-Mae?"

“It’s a pity, they got away.” Lu Zizhen shrugged. “But they didn’t get away completely. I can track down the people who took Tamamo-no-Mae away, but there’s another problem.”

"Those people are very likely from the government."

"Going against the authorities... is a tough situation."

Lu Zizhen's eyes were filled with curiosity: "As a well-known exorcist in Nikko City, you should understand that going against the authorities is not a rational thing to do. So, what do you think?"

"Do you have the guts to go and pick a fight with the authorities for the sake of your loved one?"

Ninomiya Yusuke looked at Kurizaki Tsukikoto on the bed and fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat tense. Dou Tang quietly observed the people in the room. Apart from himself, Huaiyin Lu Zizhen, and the other two, Shinzen Ringo and Ninomiya Yujing had no need to fight to the death with that official named Hayashida.

If Ringo and Yusuke Ninomiya decide to withdraw, he understands. That has nothing to do with Toudou's own thoughts. Even if he is alone, he will definitely chase after them and do everything he can to kill Tamamo-no-Mae.

Ringo Shinzen slowly moved closer to Huaiyin and tugged at her hand. While Ninomiya Yujing was deep in thought, the two girls whispered something to each other, and their rustling whispers kept reaching Tou Tang's ears.

After a long while, Ninomiya Yusuke let out a long sigh.

"...To be honest, there's no reason to get involved. If she receives active treatment, Kurizaki Tsukikoto can recover."

"but."

He raised his head, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with resentment, which even Dou Tang found somewhat familiar.

"That girl lied to me and did such a thing. I can't tolerate handing her over to someone else. I must kill her... I don't care if she's Yayoi or Tamamo-no-Mae, she has to die!"

Lu Zizhen smiled with some satisfaction, clapped her hands lightly, and said, "Ninja, this is the first time I've seen you so angry since I've known you."

"So... let's talk about the plan next."

………………

Swordsmith Nagafune sat in the car, answering a phone call from Kashima Yoshizo.

On the other end of the phone, the young girl, the leader of Kashima Yoshizo, was issuing new instructions.

“Sister Nagafune, I need to trouble you to make an appearance again. Tamamo-no-Mae didn’t die here, and she was taken away by the authorities… Although Kashima Inzo also has some dealings with the authorities, we can’t back down on this matter.”

"I doubt the association will back down, so there will likely be a second round of battle surrounding the sealed Tamamo-no-Mae."

After a moment's thought, the swordsmith Nagafune asked, "Do you want me to step in and lead men to intercept Tamamo-no-Mae?"

A girl's giggles came from the other end of the phone: "That's not all, Sister Longship. I also hope you can make your grand entrance in the most glamorous way. Your previous appearance wasn't cool enough."

The girl's voice was playful, with a hint of enjoying the excitement: "I want to see more, to see him fight, and to see him make his grand entrance like a hero in front of everyone, enjoying the admiration of the crowd."

The tone carried a fanaticism unfamiliar to the swordsmith Osafune, a fanaticism that... had never appeared in a young girl before.

“I see… I understand. Well then, I will continue to appear in Nikko City as a third party to kick off the second battle.” Swordsmith Osafune recalled the battle on the street and chuckled softly: “I am indeed a little itchy. Exposing my power in public feels like a chuunibyou fantasy coming true.”

"Haha...who says otherwise?" The girl on the other end of the phone laughed heartily.

Chapter 344 Lin Tianfeng's work

Except for the midday sun, which brings some warmth, the winter sun doesn't seem to bring warmth and comfort at other times; most of the time, it simply provides light.

As Lin Tianfeng walked out of the convenience store, he unwrapped the plastic wrapping of the rice ball in his hand. The crispy seaweed between the two layers of plastic wrapped around the hot rice ball. Although the rice balls from the convenience store were just for filling one's stomach, they were still full of ingenuity.

He lowered his head and took a bite. The crisp seaweed and rice filled his mouth, accompanied by the salty and sweet flavor of the tuna mayonnaise filling. When his mouth left the rice ball, his glasses were already fogged up.

After licking the mayonnaise from the corner of his mouth, Hayashida Fengsuo looked at the street in front of him through his hazy glasses.

The streets were still bustling with pedestrians. This place was far from the city hall, and the commotion at the internet cafe at noon had no effect on this place. Although people on the streets were talking about what had happened today, no one would have thought that one of the main characters in that incident was being closely monitored in a parking lot not far away.

Lin Tianfeng finished his rice ball in a few bites, threw the plastic wrapper into the trash can next to him, and just as he took a step, his phone rang.

Lin Tianfeng took out his phone and answered the call. A deep, aged voice came from the other end.

"Report on the progress of the matter."

Lin Tianfengsuo's relaxed expression vanished, his eyes hardening as he said seriously, "We've already received Tamamo-no-Mae, but the barrier around Nikko City is still in place. If you try to leave, you'll still be detected and tracked by the barrier."

"Excuse my bluntness, sir, but if we don't put pressure on the barrier, leaving Nikko City will be very difficult." Lin Tianfeng raised his hand, adjusted his glasses with the heel of his palm, and frowned slightly as if deep in thought.

"Cough cough cough... It's alright, just do your best, success or failure is not important... Where is Mr. Ren?" The old voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little weak, coughing incessantly.

“Mr. Ren also seems to have fallen into a coma and was taken away by Lu Zizhen. We didn’t take action, after all, that woman…” Lin Tianfeng clicked his tongue, “is really difficult to deal with.”

"Hehehe... A woman who smuggled herself into Tokyo and quickly established herself is indeed not someone we can handle, but don't worry, we're not the ones who need to deal with her."

"As for Mr. Ren, let him shine for a while; we still need him."

Upon hearing the instructions, Lin Tianfeng replied with a deep "Mm".

"Lin Tian," the old man on the other end of the phone continued.

"Yes, please speak." Even though the old man was not in front of him, Lin Tianfeng still nodded slightly and bowed halfway.

"This time, it's a challenge for you. As our new trump card, you may not be the best one, but you are the most presentable."

"Now that the association is split, Suiten Keisaburo is severely weakened, and evil spirits are rampant in Tokyo... It's time for you to make your grand entrance. Don't disappoint me."

"Amidst the guild's encirclement and Lu Zizhen's pursuit, escape with Tamamo-no-Mae and return to Tokyo to prove yourself."

After saying these words, the old man hung up the phone before Lin Tianfeng could reply.

Lin Tianfeng listened to the dial tone on his phone for a moment in silence, then sighed.

"It's not just about dealing with Lu Zizhen... there's also that monster Mr. Ren. Isn't this a bit too difficult?"

Although he said that, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He seemed to be getting excited.

He walked towards the building in front of the convenience store, which is a two-story parking garage used as a supporting facility for nearby apartments. Private vehicles can also park temporarily by paying a fee.
