Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

"Did you have a fight with your family? Or what happened?" The old lady took her hand and led her to the fireplace, asking with great familiarity and concern.

Chapter 76 Ringo and Lu Zijun before the gods

Ringo was pulled to sit by the fireplace. The warm light from the fireplace made her face feel strange. The feeling of the coldness being gradually driven away by the warmth was like two temperatures fighting on her face, and it even stung a little.

She shook her head, smiling awkwardly, and said, "No, no... I, I just have something on my mind, um."

"Well, child, if you don't mind, rest here for a while, and leave when the rain stops."

"No, no, of course not, it's fine here..."

Ringo Shinzen was a little shy, clutching the hem of her tracksuit. The wet clothes clung to her body uncomfortably, but it wasn't convenient to take them off in this situation.

After a while, the rain seemed to get heavier, and some homeless people gave up the idea of ​​continuing to scavenge for scraps that day and went back to their homes to rest.

Only a few women were left chatting in the tent, along with Ringo Shinzen and Michiko-kun.

Ringo Shinzen was intrigued by the girl who only spoke Chinese, so she leaned closer and said, "You...you can't speak Japanese, right?"

"Then why are you wandering around Tokyo? Did you come here illegally?"

Lu Zijun was wary, her words laced with hostility: "What? Are you a police officer?"

Ringo quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, no, I didn't... I was just curious."

"By the way, thank you for the raincoat."

Lu Zijun shook his head, then gestured for her to wait a moment. He stood up, went over to the woman, said something, and returned a short while later with two cans of drinks.

"Here, it's hot, have some."

"It's unopened, so it's safe, but it's almost expired."

Ringo Shinzen took the drink. There are many vending machines in Tokyo, and some of them replace the drinks when they are about to expire and then sell them at a low price.

The drink was a bit hot to the touch, probably because it had been placed by another stove near the woman's side. Holding it in my hand warmed my cold body even more.

"Thank you, but I don't have any money on me right now..."

"It's a treat." The translation software's meaning was a bit rigid, but at least it was understandable.

Having said that, Ringo Shinzen could only accept the offer with a sigh.

Lu Zijun sat down, opened his drink, and said, "Running away from home is not a good habit."

"Leaving a familiar environment can easily lead to moral decay."

Ringo seemed to sense the implication in her words and said, "So, you...you seem to have...experience?"

After careful consideration, she decided to use slightly milder wording, since translation software might make mistakes.

Lu Zijun played with the neatly trimmed ends of her princess-cut hairstyle and said, "Didn't you just ask me why I'm wandering here? That's the answer."

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Lu Zijun suddenly asked.

Ringo Shinzen shook her head.

"So, are there any family members who worry about you?"

She thought of her father again and finally nodded. Even though Ryuichi Shinzen had done some terrible things, she still believed that at least her father's love for her was real.

"That's already good enough. Running away from home... will hurt those who care about you."

Ringo lowered her head, opened her drink, took a sip, and then cautiously asked, "And what about you?"

Lu Zijun's face remained calm, and Shinzen Ringo almost thought she was a person with a rather eccentric personality.

Lu Zijun shook her head and said using a translation app, "My sister ran away from home. I came to find her, but... she's a rather troublesome person."

"Run away from home and come all the way to Japan?" Ringo Kamizaki asked in surprise, "Why?"

"She wanted to escape her original life, to escape as far away as possible, to abandon everything from the past." Lu Zijun squinted, her tone tinged with sadness, but the voice from the translation software remained cold and lifeless.

“She wants to get rid of her only bond, which is me... but she herself is a sinner, and I still have to judge her.”

Trial, for the sinner?

Ringo Kamisama attributed it to a translation software error, after all... it sounded rather strange.

She asked curiously, "What's her name? Perhaps I can help you find her."

Lu Zijun shook her head: "She is a very dangerous person, extremely dangerous... I'm sorry, you'd better not worry about this."

"We just met by chance. Once the rain stops, you'll leave. It's that simple."

Rejected again, Ringo Shinzen could only nod and then fall silent.

The thunderstorm outside the window continued to fall. Exhausted, Ringo Shinzen felt herself drifting off to sleep. The warm fireplace and the pattering rain on the tent were incredibly soothing.

She slowly drifted off to sleep, her body tilting to one side as she leaned against Lu Zijun.

Lu Zijun didn't make any movement, just continued to sit there with his eyes closed, as if he had entered a meditative state.

The night outside the tent grew darker.

Silent all night.

The next day, Ringo Shinzen found herself lying in Ryuko-kun's tent with an unzipped sleeping bag under her. She thanked Ryuko-kun and then went home.

On her way home, she walked past Dou Tang on his motorcycle. She didn't recognize Dou Tang, who was wearing a helmet, and Dou Tang didn't pay any attention to her either.

Tou-tang rode his motorcycle to the park where he had arranged to meet Mikazuki.

Mikazuki has already found information about Honotengu.

"Bone Tengu...woohoo, woohoo..."

In the park, Dou Tang leaned against his motorcycle, looking at the black cat on the stone steps in front of him.

Mikazuki, the black cat, buried its entire face in the cat food can, getting oil all over its face. Its voice, already hoarse, became even more indistinct.

"Can you eat slower? Nobody's going to take it from you..." Dou Tang said helplessly.

"Freshly opened cat food, so delicious... woof woof... ok ok, um, delicious, this brand is good."

Mikazuki finished the entire can of cat food in just a few bites, licked his front paws, and then shook his head. The grease on his face made his fur stick together, making him look extremely slovenly.

“I must give you a bath today,” Dou Tang suddenly said.

"Fine, I'll wash it then." Mikazuki said, strangely dismissive.

"Hey? Aren't you usually afraid of taking baths? Why are you being so well-behaved today?"

Mikazuki rolled his eyes in an extremely human way: "If you can't resist, then enjoy it. Remember to prepare a hairdryer for me."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"Bone Tengu... is a monster born from vengeful spirits and the dead. Bone Tengu is not necessarily an evil spirit formed from Tengu bones; ordinary people can be one too."

Its tone gradually became serious, and its vertical pupils stared intently at Dou Tang: "This kind of evil spirit requires a large number of remnant souls to form. In essence, it is a collection of souls, not a single individual."

“War, plague, disaster… whenever there is mass death, bone tengu will be born in various forms, and the names will be different, but they are all of the same kind.”

It licked its paws and continued, "The formation of a Bone Tengu requires a complete soul filled with obsession, plus many remnant souls carrying obsession and pain. The obsessive soul is the main one, and those remnant souls will continuously strengthen the main soul until the main soul transforms into... a Bone Tengu."

"The manner in which this evil spirit descends into the world is completely random, and the fact that it is called Bone Tengu is entirely due to a historical Bone Tengu incident."

Chapter 77 Salvation and Deliverance

The aggregation of souls.

Resentment, hatred, and all negative emotions are kneaded together with the remnants of a soul.

Carrying the remnants of those souls' thoughts, it was forged into an existence different from both demons and vengeful spirits—a completely new evil spirit, whose form was uncertain and only changed according to the thoughts of the main soul.

The last evil spirit in history to become this kind of being was a Tengu, which thus took the form of a skeleton Tengu and was called a bone Tengu.

And Ejima Izai became one with that existence.

Furthermore, given that this evil spirit has the ability to merge with souls... perhaps, Ejima Iya is not currently inseparable from the Bone Tengu because of the seal.

Instead, he has become the new Bone Tengu.

What should we do then? Should we perform a ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife? How do we perform this ritual, by destroying all his bones?

Crush his bones, erase his soul?

He was a brave man, a kind man who was brave enough to use his own life to seal away evil spirits, and this was his final fate?

It's hard to agree with, hard to choose that kind of ending.

Dou Tang sighed, sat on a park bench, and closed his eyes in anguish.

"Kiryu Toudou, feeling pain? Just because of something like this? Looks like you're not as bad as I thought."

So heartless.

The black cat Mikazuki jumped to the ground, came to Dou Tang, and looked up at him: "I said, you're not going to give up, are you?"

Dou Tang's voice was weak and listless: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"After all, you haven't known him for very long, have you? That guy named Ejima Izai." Black Cat Mikazuki licked his paw. "Your relationship with him isn't that deep, is it?"

"Give him an ending, let him be free. You can do it quietly, or you can do it spectacularly. You can't just let that guy stay like this, can you?"

Dou Tang didn't care why the black cat knew so much about this matter; the network of relationships among the monsters behind it was probably wider than he had imagined.

He simply sighed and said, "Perhaps."

“He’s already dead. I might be able to give him a release, but… I want to try to help him regain his memories from his previous life.” Dou Tang clenched his wrist, thinking of the two vengeful spirits who were entangled with each other because of Jiangdao Yizai: “There are still people who care about him. We should see him first and fulfill their wishes.”

Mikazuki the black cat nodded, then jumped onto a nearby flowerbed and slowly walked away, saying, "Isn't it clear to you? Since that's the case, and the message has been delivered, I'll be going now."

Dou Tang nodded first, then suddenly hummed in agreement.

"Stop right there! I haven't given you a bath yet!"

"Meow, I don't want to!"

Damn it, that stinky cat took advantage of my sadness and ran away!

Dou Tang had just stood up when the stinky cat had already disappeared; it was incredibly fast.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Dou Tang simply got on his motorcycle and left the park.

If we want to help Ejima Izai find peace, besides those two vengeful spirits, we need one more person.

Dragon is brave before God.

He was Ejima Iya's good friend and also the starting point of everything. If you want to say goodbye to Ejima Iya, you should at least take him with you.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the Shinsen family's house, he heard arguing coming from inside.

A high-pitched young female voice, and the voice of Ryuyuu Shinzen.

It's the god Ringo...

He stood at the door for a moment, hesitating whether to go in, since it sounded like they were dealing with family matters inside.

Ringo Shinzen seemed to be in the living room, her voice trembling with tears as she said, "I don't understand why you've kept this from me all these years. You sacrificed your best friend, using his bones to make a seal. How could you... how could you say something like that so openly and honestly!"

"That was the path he chose!"

"That's my friend, it was my mistake..."

Dou Tang couldn't stop, so he simply took two steps back and rushed towards the courtyard wall. He kicked off the wall twice with his legs and instantly leaped onto the high wall, landing in the narrow courtyard.

The two people arguing in the living room stopped abruptly. Ringo Kamisaki frowned at Toudou, while Ryuuichi Kamisaki looked surprised: "What are you doing here again!"

"Dad, do you know him?"

Ignoring their surprise, Dou Tang said directly, "I'm going to break the seal and give Jiangdao Yizai an ending. Do you want to say goodbye to him?"

Upon hearing this, Ryuichi Kamizen was stunned.

“Jiang, Jiangdao Yizai… isn’t that…” Shinzen Ringo’s gaze shifted between her father and Toudou. She remembered Toudou; he was Kume Chinatsu’s classmate. According to Kume Chinatsu, he and her sister seemed to have supernatural abilities.

But what is this scene before us? This boy suddenly jumped into the yard and revealed a secret his father had kept from him for over a decade. It seems he even... invited his father to see the person he had killed with his own hands?

While she was still in a daze, Ryuuichi Shinzen gritted his teeth and said, "That means they'll release that monster! Do you even know what you're saying?!"

“I have the ability to stop Bone Tengu, and I also have the ability to give him peace.” Dou Tang walked onto the wooden balcony, his eyes burning: “I’m just informing you now. If you are truly his friend, you should at least witness his departure.”

"I'll be at Yiyan Private Academy on the night of the 30th, which is tomorrow night. Whether you come or not is up to you."

After saying these words, Dou Tang turned around and jumped like a cheetah, using one foot to push off the wall and one hand to support himself as he leaped out without any hesitation.

After informing Shenqian Longyong, Dou Tang was completely free to do nothing more. All he had to do now was wait until tomorrow night.
