Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 378

I'll probably feel a bit more relaxed after my exams next month, and I'll try to write more next month. I'm not aiming for 10,000 words a day, but I plan to at least double my daily updates.

Thank you all for your support. I'm going to take a break now.

Chapter 340 Broken Dream

Lu Zizhen drove away, and Lin Tian only put his hand down after the car lights disappeared at the end of the parking lot.

Lin Tian took out his glasses from his pocket, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, put them on, took a deep breath, and his smile became even more blatant.

It was Hayashida Mine, the official force he had briefly interacted with before.

"Lord Hayashida, what should we do next?" a priest asked.

"According to the plan, release the exorcists from the association who have been knocked unconscious, then drive off immediately." Lin Tianfeng waved his hand casually, confident and composed.

The people behind Lin Tianfeng then sprang into action, following his will, and entered the elevator lobbies around the parking lot. Soon after, they came out carrying bundles of rope.

"Lord Lintian, if this matter is exposed, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to handle, won't it?" The priest beside Lintian asked humbly, still bowing.

Lin Tianfeng didn't care at all, smiled slightly, and said, "How could that be? It's completely impossible for the current association to seal Tamamo-no-Mae... It's best to leave it to us."

“We’ve taken on a hot potato for the association, and all the credit still goes to them. Isn’t that great?” Hayashi Mineo said, glancing at the vehicles not far away. “Now that Sanuki-in has been resurrected, it would be safest for Tamamo-no-Mae, whose identity should be that of Sanuki-in’s stepmother, to be in the hands of the authorities.”

"Now that Kashima Yoshizo has caused such a commotion in Tokyo, Sanuki-in is wandering around outside Tokyo and causing trouble, and the association has split in two... the authorities can't help but get involved."

Lin Tianfeng clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with a bright yellow light behind his glasses, as dazzling as gold, revealing that he was no ordinary person either.

“Since the arrival of the new era, we have been kept in captivity for more than a year, and it’s time for us to show our worth.”

With a wave of his hand, a dozen exorcists in various costumes walked to the vehicles around the parking lot, got in, and started their engines.

Lin Tianfeng walked slowly and unhurriedly to the vehicle in front of the seal on Tamamo, opened the passenger door and got in. He picked up the walkie-talkie on the dashboard and said softly, "Let's go."

Scattered vehicles transformed into a flowing black river, slowly driving out of the parking lot.

Lin Tianfeng rolled down the car window, looked up at the warm winter sun, and his pupils contracted slightly, revealing sharp, vertical pupils like a cat's.

The vehicle headed towards Tokyo.

………………

The battle continued in the spacious and brightly lit venue.

The flashes of swords and the clash of blades continued as Tamamo-no-Mae and Toudou were locked in a fierce battle, their bodies indistinguishable as a shimmering ball of light.

The ever-expanding battle, the increasingly flashing lights and shadows, and the almost indistinguishable clash of metal—everything seemed to gradually transcend the realm of humanity. Even in a dream, the terrifying speed that could keep up with the monsters proved Dou Tang's extraordinary nature; it was already a bizarre phenomenon beyond the human realm.

Floating in the air, Huaiyin even felt that the air was full of turbulent currents. If she didn't hold her body steady, the aftershocks of the chaotic swordplay would probably blow her away.

This is a battle where one's will is unleashed at will, as chaotic and disorderly as a dream, utterly illogical. Such a battle cannot be replicated in reality. Whether it is Tamamo-no-Mae or Toudou, if they were to fight like this in reality, they would probably be exhausted in no time.

"Fighting in a dream is so interesting, Ren Doutang, your dream is amazing." Tamamo-no-Mae's figure blurred in the afterimages of her claws, but she still had the mood to talk and tease.

The young boy, Dou Tang, who had blocked all of Tamamo-no-Mae's attacks with just a flower knife, gave a soft snort and said, "You still have the mood to talk, Tamamo-no-Mae? You really are the kind of woman who will still grumble even with a knife to her throat."

The flower-shaped dagger sliced ​​through the air, suddenly slashing towards Tamamo-no-Mae's mouth with an uncanny trajectory, causing her to involuntarily fall silent and deflect the dagger with her sharp claws.

But in the very next instant that sparks flew between the claws and the flower knife, a delicate, fair hand reached out from nowhere, slipped into the gap between the claws, and struck Tamamo-no-Mae's chest with a cunning and stealthy blow.

Tamamo-no-Mae's expression didn't even have time to change; only her gaze shifted slightly downwards as she looked at the fist that was striking her chest.

Those fists nestled their thumbs within their index and middle fingers, the knuckles of the index fingers slightly protruding, forming a sharp, hammer-like point, carrying a surging vortex of energy as they clenched together.

It struck Tamamo-no-Mae in the chest.

"Oh!"

The punch seemed to lack power, and instead of sending Tamamo-no-Mae flying as Huaiyin had expected, Tamamo-no-Mae simply stood there, stunned.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "This isn't reality... Ren Doutang, do you really think your weak fists will work on me?"

Dou Tang simply lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I've felt this way since before... You're really not my type."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae clenched her fist tightly, her sharp claws piercing her palm, drawing blood.

Dou Tang raised his head slightly and looked at the void above. Although he could not see Huaiyin's presence, he knew that Huaiyin must be watching all of this.

"Let's break the connection between us. Even if I kill her in my dreams, it's really meaningless."

"Who do you think you are!" Tamamo-no-Mae roared, stretching out her blood-stained claws and grabbing the face of the young boy, Tou-Tang.

She lifted Dou Tang up, her expression like that of a madwoman, roaring with her resentment: "Ren Dou Tang, you're the one who lost everything, you're the one who's a piece of trash, yet you still act like you look down on me. Don't you have any respect for me at all?!"

"I am Tamamo-no-Mae... Do you understand the meaning of this name?!"

Dou Tang's indifference seemed to have precisely stepped on Tamamo-no-Mae's deepest minefield, causing her to completely lose her elegant demeanor and reveal her ugly, furious appearance.

"A vain and foolish woman who drifts through three kingdoms, seducing the most powerful humans to gain satisfaction..." Dou Tang suddenly sneered, mocking Tamamo-no-Mae before him.

"That's my assessment of you."

“I’ve already killed you once. In my eyes… you’re nothing, Tamamo-no-Mae.” Young Tou-Tang’s eyes held a hint of pity and contempt: “You’re too pitiful.”

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes were a deep crimson gold, and she clenched her fists tightly.

But the world before their eyes quickly crumbled.

Pure white lines emerge from the objects, deconstructing everything before them. The scene transforms into illusory bubbles and light, dissipating and disappearing in all directions.

Tamamo-no-Mae and Tou-Tang looked at each other.

"Next time, I will definitely kill you."

They both saw this emotion in each other's eyes.

Chapter 341 Goes Back to the Same Path

Just before Tamamo-no-Mae was about to snap Tou-Tang's neck, Huai-Yin woke up from her dream and severed the connection between the two.

………………

Dou Tang slowly opened his eyes.

His body was swaying, and above him was a dark gray car roof. The sunlight streaming in through the rear window confirmed that he was driving on the road.

The red helmet formed from black mist melted into wisps of mist under his will, slowly dissipating.

Consciousness... was clear, but for some reason, Tamamo-no-Mae's illusion had lost contact with her, or rather, had not worked.

This relieved him.

He tried to turn his head, but felt as if his whole body was trapped by some invisible substance. Every joint in his body seemed to be unable to move, and he could do nothing except breathe.

So he applied a little force.

"Crackling..." A faint electrical sound rang out on her body. Noticing the abnormality, Lu Zizhen quickly stepped on the brakes and looked at the back seat.

Dou Tang also turned his eyes to look at Lu Zizhen, and stopped struggling. He still remembered that Lu Zizhen's talismans were not cheap.

Lu Zizhen noticed the calmness and clarity in his eyes. Instead of speaking, she pulled over and looked at him, saying, "You're awake? Say something to prove you're conscious."

"...I really don't know what to say for a moment." Dou Tang sighed. "I was under Tamamo-no-Mae's illusion, but I don't know why it stopped working. Also, I think I know who helped me just now."

“That doesn’t prove you’re lucid right now.” Lu Zizhen thought for a moment and then asked, “What is the ultimate answer to the universe?”

“Uh…42?” Dou Tang raised an eyebrow.

“We just read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy together last week, so I remember it very well,” Dou Tang continued.

Lu Zizhen's smile turned somewhat teasing: "So what did we do after we finished watching it?"

"You squeezed me dry," Dou Tang said quite frankly.

Lu Zizhen blushed and reached out to remove the immobilization talisman from Dou Tang.

Dou Tang let Lu Zizhen help him remove the talisman, and asked at the same time, "Where is Tamamo-no-Mae?"

"It was handed over to the association, but... of course, it might not actually be the association." Lu Zizhen said casually.

Dou Tang had regained sensation in his upper body. He raised his hand and removed the talisman from his leg, frowning as he asked, "What do you mean by 'maybe but not'? Where did Tamamo-no-Mae go?"

“I used a lot of talismans to immobilize Tamamo-no-Mae, and then sent her to the rendezvous point prepared by the association. In principle, Tamamo-no-Mae should be taken to the place prepared by the association for temporary detention.”

Lu Zizhen sighed: "But when I arrived at the meeting place just now, I felt something was wrong. The person I was meeting didn't seem to be from the association, but there were just too many of them there. I couldn't force my way through while you were unconscious, so I could only let them take Tamamo-no-Mae away."

In that situation, if Lu Zizhen had been alone, she might have actually risked it. After all, she didn't really care about her own life; if she risked it and survived, it would be a win.

of.

But Dou Tang was still in her car at the time, and Lu Zizhen couldn't take that risk.

Dou Tang was somewhat frustrated: "Was it all for nothing...?"

Lu Zizhen reassured her, "Don't worry, I secretly left a tracking talisman on the car. Once we get back, we can track the car using some magic. Don't worry about losing it."

"Won't we be discovered?" Dou Tang asked.

"No, you can trust me to handle things. But I'm just worried they might transfer Tamamo-no-Mae to another car along the way. The talismans on Tamamo-no-Mae don't have tracking capabilities, so they can just switch cars and be done with it."

Lu Zizhen helped Dou Tang remove all the talismans, sat back in the driver's seat, and continued, "So we still need to race against time, understand?"

"Hmm..." Dou Tang sat in the middle of the back seat, looking at the street outside the front window. After hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone from his pocket and called Huai Yin.

The call connected instantly, and Huaiyin's sleepy voice came from the other end: "Hello... Brother, are you alright?"

"Yes, she's conscious and fine." Dou Tang nodded. "That was you just now, right?"

"...Yes, was I of any help?" Huaiyin's voice was somewhat timid.

"Of course, you've been a great help. Where are you? Let us come pick you up." Dou Tang's voice was very gentle: "Tamamo-no-Mae is no longer a threat. Let's meet and discuss what's next."

"Okay, brother." Huaiyin obediently gave her address, then asked, "By the way, where's Sister Kurizaki?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang looked up at Lu Zizhen.

Lu Zizhen overheard the conversation on the phone, exchanged a glance with Dou Tang through the rearview mirror, chuckled, and playfully stuck out her tongue: "Sorry, I forgot her at the internet cafe."

Dou Tang hesitated, looking somewhat speechless.

Lu Zizhen abruptly turned the steering wheel, and amidst the irritating honking of cars behind her, she made a U-turn and drove towards the internet cafe, saying, "Don't rush, we couldn't pay attention to that woman earlier, but now we can just go back."

That's all we can do. Dou Tang said to Huai Yin, "We'll pick up that guy named Kurizaki and then come find you. Just stay there and don't move."

"Yes, brother, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the black Chevrolet drove towards the internet cafe where the accident had occurred. At the same time, Lu Zizhen said, "There are some clothes to change into in the trunk. Change your clothes before you go. People will recognize you if you don't change your clothes."

Dou Tang nodded.

A dozen minutes later, the two, having changed their clothes, finally returned to the vicinity of the internet cafe. By this time, an emergency cordon had been set up around the internet cafe, prohibiting all vehicles and pedestrians from passing through.

Just to be on the safe side, Lu Zizhen parked the car in a parking lot not far from the street, and the two of them changed their clothes and walked to the internet cafe.

It should have been the quietest afternoon with few pedestrians, but groups of people were wandering the streets, and outside the cordon, many were taking photos and videos of the internet cafe with its central glass completely shattered.

As Lu Zizhen and Dou Tang walked down the street, stepping on shards of glass from shattered shop windows, Lu Zizhen whispered, "Your shout really boosted glass industry consumption."

Dou Tang ignored her words and asked, "How are we going to sneak in? It's obviously heavily guarded here."

Lu Zizhen whistled and pulled out an ID card from her inner pocket: "As a member of the association, I'm officially registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

The gleaming police badge on the document is clearly not a counterfeit, but a genuine document.

To make it easier for exorcists to carry out their work, the association recruited some core members as nominal police officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. In principle, Makoto was not qualified, but unfortunately, her reputation for solving various problems had risen, and the association's conciliatory policy of wanting to retain exorcists after the reshuffle... allowed the bad woman to successfully obtain the identity of a good person.

Chapter 342 Get out of here, you idiot!

Just as Lu Zizhen intervened in the street's affairs using her identity as a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, on the other side of the city, Ninomiya Yujing and others finally found the illusory vengeful spirit in a storage room on the first floor.

Looking at the cowardly and unmotivated virtual boy in the corner, Ninomiya Yusuke's face was gloomy.

Based on the situation here, Ninomiya Yuuki has already deduced everything... Although the core of this resentment barrier is indeed the boy's vengeful spirit, such a massive barrier could not have been created by this boy's vengeful spirit. There is only one explanation: that is, Tamaki Yayoi is not an ordinary person, but a cunning villain who uses the boy's vengeful spirit to achieve some goal of her own.

Ringo Shinzen, who was standing to the side, said, "It seems you've been tricked, and tricked badly at that."

Ninomiya Yusuke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I really didn't expect that Tamara Yayoi would have a problem... From the moment we met to everything that happened afterward, there was nothing about her that could be called abnormal."

“This just shows how meticulous she is… But why would she go to such lengths to kidnap Kurizaki Tsukikoto?” Ringo Kami-saki pondered. “Kurizaki-san is just an ordinary person who doesn’t know anything about exorcism. What exactly does that Yayoi Tamara want to do?”

"I have absolutely no clue."

Ninomiya Yusuke remained silent, but quietly took a small package out of his pocket and walked towards the boy's vengeful spirit.

"Wait, Ninomiya-san, what are you doing?" Ringo Shinzen grabbed him.

Ninomiya Yuuki's eyes flashed with a violent light, and his tone was somewhat...

Shan: "Is there even a need to ask? Of course, we must exorcise this vengeful spirit and quickly settle things here!"
