Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 48

One of the twin sisters, the more spirited one, retorted, "How could that be... such a monster, even if he killed many supernatural beings, he's still a monster! Look how dangerous that kind of superhuman strength is!"

“Sister Ruizhi, but I also think Fall Guy is a good person... He even has a cameraman, which means he is at least intelligent enough to communicate, right?”

"Yeah, that's true... Kanae, but that cameraman of his just talks way too much!"

These twin sisters both share the surname Hayakawa. The more lively one is named Mizue, while the quieter one is named Kanae. Their names reveal their personalities.

They knew about Dou Tang, but Huai Yin was so cute that they couldn't help but come up and talk to her. From Huai Yin, they learned about Dou Tang, which was different from the rumors.

He doesn't seem scary in front of his sister; he even seems a little clumsy and gentle.

Awkward tenderness?

Dou Tang cleared his throat, and the three of them turned around.

He was half-lifting the pink eye mask with one hand, and holding an earplug with the other... wait, that hand was also curled into a delicate pinky gesture.

Why do people use the orchid finger gesture?

Dou Tang noticed this and quickly raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh, don't misunderstand."

“In the Victorian era, spices were very precious condiments. People would stick out their little finger when tasting wine to keep that finger clean, and then dip their little finger into condiments while eating... This way, they would keep their other fingers from getting dirty, so sticking out my little finger is a very normal and natural reaction for me…”

What is this person so eager to explain?

Perhaps it really was clumsy gentleness... The Hayakawa sisters were certain of this thought in their hearts.

"Brother, you're awake! We'll be there soon."

Dou Tang blinked hard; strangely enough, he had almost fallen asleep just now.

As the bus traveled along the coastline, a huge building could be seen on the beach not far away, with various marine animals painted on its exterior walls. It was clearly the Kamo River City Aquarium.

Dou Tang withdrew his gaze, looked at the twins, and nodded: "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

The Hayakawa sisters both have naturally curly hair; Mizue has long curly hair, while Kanae has short curly hair, making them easy to distinguish.

"I'm Hayakawa Mizue, and this is my younger sister, Hayakawa Kanae. We're less than a minute apart." Mizue shrugged and said casually, "Kiryu-kun seems different from the rumors. He's not that scary."

Dou Tang removed his blindfold: "Those are all rumors, all rumors..."

The bus slowly drove up the slope, heading towards the higher ground of Kamo River City, and finally stopped in front of a large residential building. The four of them got to know each other a little better, and at least the twins weren't as afraid of Doutang as the others.

Because of Dou Tang's previous request, the brother and sister were not allowed to squeeze in with other people, but were instead arranged to have a separate room on the second floor.

"Ms. Kyoko, thank you so much! Not only did you let Huaiyin come along, but you also gave us special treatment..."

After putting his luggage in the room, Dou Tang looked at Teacher Xingzi at the door and sincerely thanked her.

The teacher scratched her hair, adjusted her hairpin, and then said with a wry smile, "No need to be so polite. Besides... given your reputation in the class, if you lived with the boys, they would probably be very uneasy, wouldn't they?"

Dou Tang looked somewhat embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm really not as... bad as the rumors say."

“I know, Kiryu-kun, you’re just not good at expressing yourself,” Ms. Kyoko sighed. “But I’m worried about you. How will you socialize in the future if this continues? Everyone needs a social circle. You need to make some friends.”

“…I understand, Ms. Kyoko, I will.”

Ms. Xingzi sighed again, then closed the door and left. Dou Tang sat cross-legged on the floor in silence for a while.

Huaiyin then put her arm around his shoulder and nuzzled the back of his head affectionately, saying, "Brother, I just found out... how did you become a delinquent?"

Clearly, the Hayakawa sisters had told Kawan about the rumors circulating at school while they were in the car.

"Uh, let me explain, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Chapter 91 The Exorcist's Gathering

At the same time that Doutang and Huaiyin checked into the guesthouse, a convoy of three black BMWs slowly drove into Kamogawa City.

At the very end of the convoy, a black Volkswagen Beetle followed slowly.

Lu Zizhen lowered the window, and blew a pink bubble the size of half her face with her bubble gum, which then suddenly burst with a "pop".

The convoy slowly drove into the most upscale hotel in the entire Kamo River City and parked in an orderly manner, while the Beetle brazenly parked in front of several of the cars, blocking their way out of the parking spaces.

Several people got out of one of the cars and shook their heads when they saw Lu Zizhen's domineering parking method.

Lu Zizhen half-removed her sunglasses with one hand, looked at the person shaking their head, and chewed on her bubble gum as if grinding her teeth.

"You have a problem with how I parked?"

The man choked for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Zizhen to ask him so bluntly and domineeringly. He said helplessly, "No... Miss Lu, I have no objection. Anyway, we're all traveling together, so we won't be moving the car these next few days."

Lu Zizhen raised one eyebrow and gave him a provocative look, then revealed a mocking and disdainful smile.

The man walked with his companion, glancing back at Lu Zizhen as he said, "That crazy woman... who brought her here?"

"I don't know... She said she's been bored lately! Can you believe it?"

"Bored? Just because he's bored, he suddenly gets all excited about attending an exorcism party? Is this guy even mentally unstable?"

His companion frowned: "She might also be here for money, right? Lately, she's been taking on all sorts of information about evil spirits without any return. I heard she even destroyed that Blue Oni Mansion in Nagano. Maybe she's short on cash lately?"

"It makes sense..."

Lu Zizhen got out of the car, wearing loose trousers and a sleeveless vest, with a black coat covered in zippers on top. She still looked as dashing as ever, but the coat and trousers were bulging, as if they were stuffed full of things.

She chewed her bubble gum and waved, signaling the hotel lobby staff to come over.

The receptionist jogged up to her, and she took off her sunglasses and hung them on her collar, tossing her car keys and 2000 yen to her, saying, "Please take my luggage from the trunk to room 404 upstairs. This is a tip."

After giving her instructions, she followed them into the lobby, glanced at the people pretending to wait for the elevator, and then pushed open the door to the emergency staircase and went up.

When she arrived at the conference room on the second floor, the group of people hadn't even gotten out of the elevator yet.

The conference room was a long round table, and it was already quite full of people, most of whom were dressed in strange clothes. The exorcists gathered here were not just from Japan.

She looked around and sneered, "What, so many people are waiting to go to the temple fair to perform shamanistic rituals?"

One of the middle-aged men, dressed in a kimono and carrying a long sword, frowned: "You Chinese... watch your mouth!"

Lu Zizhen sneered and pulled out a stack of talismans, as thick as three fingers, from her coat pocket, then slammed it onto the table. She bared her teeth and said, "Say one more word, and I'll go up the mountain and blow up your shrine right now, Sumiyoshi Shrine priest."

The priest Sumiyoshi looked very displeased. He was an exorcist from a local shrine in Kamogawa City, and he had been humiliated by someone jumping in front of his house.

But unfortunately, no one here dared to provoke Lu Zizhen. This woman was capable of anything when she went crazy, not to mention that stack of talismans.

The incident that helped Lu Zizhen establish herself in Tokyo involved her barging into a gathering of exorcists like a homeless person. She then pulled out a roll of talismans and threw it into the crowd. Although the exorcists present were unharmed, they were later surprised to find that fifteen thin bolts of lightning struck the roof of the gathering place one after another. Even the lightning rods were ineffective, and the entire waterproof layer of the roof was punctured, emitting a burnt smell.

If you let her throw a whole stack of them into someone's shrine, that would be a real mess.

Nobody wants to mess with a madman, and Lu Zizhen, who is all alone and has no clique to rely on, can only rely on this method to gain a foothold.

“Miss Lu… calm down, we have important matters to discuss,” said a white-robed priest beside her.

Lu Zizhen sneered as she found a seat and sat down, crossing her arms to wait for everyone to arrive.

People nearby didn't want to bother her, since it was obvious she was in a particularly bad mood today.

But with her there, everyone present gained more confidence.

She has a notorious reputation, but she's also a master of meddling.

Soon, people arrived one after another. In addition to some local Shinto priests who could actually exorcise demons, there were also many exorcists from Tokyo, but even so, there were fewer than twenty people.

As times changed, evil spirits retreated, and fewer and fewer people were able to exorcise them. The more Lu Zizhen looked at these people, the more disgusted she felt, after all, this was very different from the situation in her hometown.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

The white-robed priest picked up the remote control from the table and turned on the projector, displaying images on the screen of the conference hall.

"Siren Head... according to urban legend, that's what it's called."

Those pictures were all of that monster called Siren Head.

Hidden among the trees, it was slender and tall, appearing to be at least ten meters tall. Its delicate body resembled a dark yellow, metallic mummy, with clearly visible details of human bones.

Its head consists of two thin rods with strange wires wrapped around them, which fix two huge siren horns to the sides of its head, facing different directions.

The white-robed priest began to explain.

“More than a month ago, this evil spirit appeared in the deep mountains behind Kamogawa City. Many people from the shrines witnessed it. It appears and disappears mysteriously, and if it is discovered by humans, it will emit a loud and eerie siren sound, somewhat like a combination of a police siren and an air raid siren.”

"This sound is extremely lethal to humans... If an ordinary human hears this sound within twenty meters, they will surely die, as the sound will directly shatter their internal organs."

"Based on our observations, it seems to have some kind of elusive ability, making it difficult to track, and it is extremely hostile to humans."

He pressed the remote control, and a map of the area surrounding Kamogawa City appeared on the projector, marked with several red dots.

Those red dots meander out from the deep mountains, like a greedy venomous snake, slowly approaching Kamogawa City, which is surrounded by the sea and mountains.

"Most importantly, it is slowly moving towards the city, and with the manpower of our local shrine... we can't think of a good way to stop it for the time being."

Lu Zizhen blew another bubble, which popped with a "pop," waking the shocked exorcists.

One of the exorcists exclaimed, "How is this possible... This is practically a monster! How could such a monster appear in modern society? And isn't this something from urban legends?"

Lu Zizhen laughed dismissively and said, "You can accept a fox eating dry food in a shrine for decades and growing to several meters tall and being able to breathe fire, but you can't accept a skinny monster suddenly appearing?"

The white-robed priest sighed and said, "Perhaps times have changed... In the past, we mostly faced invisible vengeful spirits and tangible little monsters, but perhaps monsters also change with the times."

She then looked at the white-robed priest and asked with considerable curiosity, "It seems times have really changed. Exorcists now have to hunt monsters with long swords and greatswords, just like in anime... So, how much money are you planning to pay?"

"I want to get a new car; this one is too small."

After all, Dou Tang was sitting too uncomfortable.

Chapter 92 Why is it always you?

Tonight is free time. After all, they are high school students, and Ms. Kyoko has decided to give her students more free time.

It was 6:30, and dusk had already fallen.

The house didn't prepare dinner tonight, so the students went out to eat in groups of three or five. Ms. Kyoko set a curfew of 8:30 p.m., and the students had to be back by 8:30 p.m.

But after all the students had left the building, Ms. Xingzi noticed that she didn't see Doutang and Huaiyin; it seemed that the siblings hadn't come downstairs.

She slowly went upstairs and arrived at the door of their room, only to find that the door was not closed properly, but half-open, with light shining through.

What are these brother and sister doing?

She slowly moved closer and found that Dou Tang was kneeling on the ground in the room, and Huai Yin was fast asleep with her head on his knees.

Huaiyin's full head of black hair fell over Doutang's legs, covering him like black ginkgo leaves.

"Going to bed in the evening...?" Just as Ms. Kyoko was thinking this, she discovered something shocking.

Dou Tang, kneeling on the ground, had his eyes tightly closed. His complexion was not good, and beads of sweat dripped down his face and slowly flowed into his neck. Much of his hair was wet as if he had just washed it.

Is he sweating? Is he uncomfortable? Is it because he gave his sister a lap pillow?

Ms. Kyoko took a closer look and found that it didn't seem to be like that. The muscles under the clothes seemed to be constantly pulsating, rhythmically stretching and relaxing, as if they were doing some kind of tiring muscle exercise.

"Phew—" Suddenly, he let out a long breath, looked through the crack in the door, and whispered, "Ms. Kyoko, is there something you need?"

Ms. Kyoko quickly straightened up, slowly and carefully opened the door, and walked in, saying, "Kiryu-kun, it's dinner time. Everyone has gone out to eat. What about you?"

She glanced at Huaiyin and said, "Do you want your teacher to bring some back for you? Huaiyin seems to still be sleeping."

At that moment, she suddenly smelled a strong scent in the room, like some kind of ancient incense, which filled the room and made her feel at ease.

Dou Tang shook his head, cradling Huaiyin's head in his hands, then...

She then slowly withdrew herself, and then used one hand to take a pillow from the side and place it under Huaiyin's head.

"I'll go change my clothes first, teacher. Please sit for a moment and look after Huaiyin for me."

He spoke indifferently, stood up, took off his shirt, and didn't care about Ms. Kyoko inside the room.

Her lean body emerged freely from her loose clothes. Ms. Kyoko lowered her head in embarrassment and avoidance, but then looked up in surprise.

"Kiryu-kun, what's on you..."

Kiryu Toudou's upper body seemed to be covered with countless scars, which were interwoven like a simple spider web, a shocking sight.

But those scars faded away in the next instant and disappeared. Ms. Kyoko rubbed her eyes.

His upper body was lean and good-looking, with well-defined muscles but not too thin, and there was no trace of scars.

Did I see it wrong? That was the only thing Ms. Kyoko could tell herself.

He tossed his soaking wet clothes into the laundry basket beside him, then pulled out a brownish-yellow linen short-sleeved shirt from his luggage and put it on, making him look much more refined, with the sharpness in his eyes softened.

"Kiryu-san, you should wear some light-colored clothes. Although black clothes are also very nice, it's too monotonous to always wear the same color."

Dou Tang looked at himself and said, "Most of my clothes were picked out by my friends, so most of them are gray."
