Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 264

This time, the whipping didn't stop easily; instead, it came down like a storm. The girl swung her arms, making subtle adjustments in the direction the whip was lashing. The whip moved as lightly as the wind in her hands. With almost no effort, the whip transformed into a hurricane, drawing out bursts of cold light in the air.

"Huhuhu..."

The long whip, concealing tiny blades, was now being wielded.

It rose up, more dangerous than an ordinary swift blade, accumulating an extremely terrifying momentum as it spun continuously. The Onmyoji Ling Ming retreated continuously, looking for an opportunity to attack.

But the Yin-Yang Master Ling Ming suddenly realized that he couldn't find any weakness in her. The impenetrable storm of whip blades had no way to break through.

The girl, dressed in white robes, danced like a celestial being amidst the whip's blade, her expression indifferent, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns.

The cool, clear light emanating from the whip blade seemed to materialize like moonlight, surrounding her as she spun, adding an even more wondrous touch to her dance.

The girl, protected by the moonlight, suddenly flicked her wrist!

The moment he saw her flick her wrist, Onmyoji Ling Ming knew he was doomed!

"Sorghum—snap!"

The next instant, a sharp pain shot through his entire neck as the whip struck his neck directly, countless tiny blades piercing into his neck and cutting open a dense network of wounds!

The whip wrapped around the neck of the Onmyoji Ling Ming, making it impossible for him to break free!

How is that possible... It was only for a moment, and you couldn't even see it?

Just how strong is this guy? Why would someone like this even appear in Urayasu...?

The girl turned around on the spot, and with a quick pull, a tremendous force came from the whip. The next moment, the sound of bones being crushed rang out, and a head was carried into the sky by the whip.

"Pfft! Glug glug..."

The head hit the ground, rolled, and made a strange sound.

The headless body fell backward and stopped moving.

In just a moment, the ultimate achievement of Onmyoji Ling Ming's long-term research into the Crown's abilities was severely damaged; at the very least, he could no longer use this body.

The girl flicked the whip, and the whip suddenly lashed out in the air with a loud crack, shaking off all the bits of flesh and blood on it.

With a twist of her forearm, she brought the whip into her hand layer by layer, and with a smooth motion, the tiny blades on it were deftly concealed within the whip's body.

“A soulless puppet…” she murmured. “This technology is not something ordinary evil spirits can possess. Is someone deliberately spreading it… or is this some kind of retaliation?”

She tucked the whip inside her robe, frowned, and walked away into the distance. Others would naturally clean up the commotion.

"Huang Quan is really petty..."

………………

"Roar……!!"

From a floor completely concealed by a barrier, bursts of roars echoed.

"Damn it, damn it... how could this kind of guy be in Urayasu City..."

There wasn't a single light in the dark floor; only an extremely rough voice roared and cursed, along with the sound of his footsteps moving.

Suddenly, a golden light shone in the darkness, and a crown pierced through the darkness, but it still did not illuminate anything nearby.

It looks so real, yet it is an untouchable illusion, its surface engraved with countless fortresses made of flesh and blood, the lifelike chunks of flesh seeming as if they might drip blood at any moment.

"The power of the crown... the crown has not been fully explored, it has not yet reached its limit..."

"Crown Games... the power to grant eternal youth and immortality... even the underworld cannot take my life!"

The crown floated in the darkness, unaffected by the mad voice.

"In this new era...I will definitely be one of the best..."

"That woman can't cause any trouble, and one body can't prove anything. As long as I get rid of all the remaining half-demons, it's only a matter of time before I return to Tokyo."

“Suiten Kyouzaburo is a coward. It’s not difficult to blackmail him with immortality. After that… the entire Exorcist Association will fall into my hands.”

"When the time comes, I will use the association's power to take down the crown holder... I will control the situation!"

The whispers in the darkness continued.

Ling Ming, an old man nearing 100 years old, has become completely obsessed with the crown since he received it.

He experienced the most painful time after the war, witnessed the economic recovery of this island nation, and of course, also witnessed the consequences of the bursting of the bubble after the turmoil.

Regardless of the situation, there will always be evil spirits filled with resentment and obsession in the world. He knew that evil spirits could not be eradicated, so he chose to step back and train Yin-Yang Masters for the association.

During this process, he witnessed too many of his disciples die in their battles against evil spirits, and he was now the only one left of his generation.

His old friends, family, and disciples all died at the hands of evil spirits, which instilled fear in him.

This fear is not directed at any one evil spirit, but at the collective of "evil spirits." He is afraid of the evil spirits, and he is also afraid of death.

He was terrified of being killed by evil spirits, or of becoming an evil spirit after death.

It was precisely because of this that Ling Ming embarked on a wicked path.

He used his position to search for clues about immortality, not letting go of any rumors or gossip.

Even the human experiments conducted on the human heads and in the abandoned mental hospital, though unrelated to him, were able to proceed without being disturbed by exorcists because of his tacit approval.

Meanwhile, he secretly observed, hoping to gain inspiration from it.

Until the crown arrives.

Chapter 118 The Crown of Life Desire

The crown that Ling Ming possesses is called "Desire for Life," which, as the name suggests, represents a yearning for life.

The Crown of Vitality grants him the ability to manipulate both body and soul; driven by this ability, he can disregard the barriers of the soul.

It combines unrelated souls with bodies.

Unlike the other crowns whose abilities are diverse and readily available, his abilities are most effective on his own body, but applying them to other areas is extremely difficult.

On the night he received the crown, he was so excited that after successfully restoring his youth and enhancing his physical abilities, he tried to give his disciples and servants the same effect.

But without a doubt, it failed.

Although he was given a cold shower, he was not discouraged. Instead, he left the association. He knew that the aging Shui Tianjing Sanlang could not stop him.

After developing Puan City into his own territory, Ling Ming began to study the use of the crown, and thus the half-demons were born.

The first half-demons were not capable of transformation, so Ling Ming imprisoned them in cages so that he could use them for experiments.

However, later, these half-demons accidentally engaged in a fight to the death. After killing each other, the victorious half-demon surprisingly regained some of the physical characteristics he originally had as a demon.

Deeply curious about this phenomenon, Ling Ming killed and dissected it, then used the Crown's abilities to study it and understand some of the details.

Even though these half-demons look like humans, they still possess the power they had as demons. This power comes from obsession and resentment, and it depends on the soul rather than the body. The physical transformation is merely a superficial characteristic of the power being unleashed.

Killing other half-demons allows one to absorb the power they have already unleashed. When the power of multiple different half-demons merges into the same body, the body, no longer confined to a single obsession, becomes increasingly adaptable to mutation, thus enabling it to transform into a demon and then back again.

Therefore, Ling Ming had an idea.

If you collect the resentment and power of countless half-demons and fuse them into one body, could you create the most perfect body?

At that time, it will be able to use the power of the Crown of Life to transform into any form, and it will also be able to use the power of monsters to obtain power that matches its form... It will be the strongest monster that can change at will.

If the original power of the Crown of Life was to grant him immortality, then now he has developed a completely different use for it.

The power of the crown is born from an eagerness and obsession, and is sometimes extremely unreasonable, with a huge difference between its upper and lower limits.

After figuring this out, Ling Ming began to capture monsters and then use human bodies to reshape them into human forms before releasing them into Urayasu City.

After that, he ordered his half-demon subordinates to spread the news about the so-called proxy war, turning Urayasu City into his own paradise.

He allowed the half-demons to fight each other and constantly merge completely different resentments, while using the proxy war as a rehearsal for the Crown Game, so that he could prepare for the future of the Crown Game.

This is what Ling Ming has been busy doing all along.

Later, Kamen Rider appeared out of nowhere, disrupting Ling Ming's plans.

These Kamen Riders completely disrupted the Proxy War, forcing Ling Ming to send out his own complete half-demon. However, these complete half-demons seemed to have completely angered the Kamen Riders and the half-demons. One was killed by the half-demons' suicide attack, and the other was captured by the Kamen Riders and is now missing.

Ling Ming also suddenly received a message from an unknown source, saying that he wanted to talk to him. Fortunately, he was cautious and sent out a soulless puppet controlled by the Crown of Life.

This kind of puppet has many drawbacks. The worst part is that the puppet does not actually have its own consciousness and can only be controlled through remote commands.

After the puppet was killed, Ling Ming became increasingly agitated.

"We were already at the final stage, why are so many troublemakers suddenly appearing! Damn it..."

He paced back and forth in the darkness, sighing occasionally.

"Fortunately, those two Kamen Riders are already on the verge of being harvested... If we extract their souls, it should be enough to meet the needs of their new bodies."

During their time as Kamen Riders, Old Wolf and Kotaro had killed far too many half-demon. Unbeknownst to them, they had reached the level that Ling Ming needed. They now had almost complete control over the mutations in their bodies. Although they hadn't reached the most perfect level yet, Ling Ming couldn't care less about that now.

Find an opportunity to kidnap them both, create the most perfect bodies, then kill the other two Kamen Riders, clean up the other half-demon in Urayasu City, and you can completely clear your name and return to Tokyo with the honor of ending the proxy war.

With such immense power, I can truly compete with the others in the Crown Game!

………………

Dou Tang led Huaiyin and the others back to the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, everyone was gathered, discussing the day's events.

"I still can't believe it!" Kotaro shook his head in disbelief as he watched the emergency news broadcast on TV. The news made no mention of Fall Guys, and even though nearly a thousand people had witnessed Fall Guys appearing on the streets, it was still portrayed as a Halloween riot.

"Fall Guys! Those are Fall Guys! And those powerful evil spirits are real, right here among us!" He waved his arms, his face full of surprise. "And there are so many of them! I bet there are hundreds!"

He spread his arms wide: "There's even a giant dragon Fall Guy! A giant dragon! Its wingspan is almost half a street wide!"

Old Wolf also looked serious: "The idiot is right, this Fall Guy..."

This is absolutely incredible! Although they arrived in time to stop the half-demon's attack, this is a variable we cannot ignore!

Harui was also a little nervous. She asked timidly, "Will we be in danger? I watched the video, it was terrifying! That number... the whole street was full of their people, and that giant dragon could even breathe fire!"

Seeing the three unsuspecting people standing there at a loss, Huaiyin and the others suppressed their laughter.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind it all, Dou Tang, is actually Fall Guy himself, sitting with his legs crossed, gazing at the bright moon outside the window and drinking tea, looking like a retired old man.

The one most engrossed in the scene was Xue Qing. He stroked his chin and said, "It seems that those Bean People are not hostile. Perhaps we can observe and wait before making a decision. Today, both of you were clearly not normal after your transformations, but the Bean People still didn't make a move, did they?"

“That’s true. Fall Guys online are all about exorcising evil spirits, right? We’re doing good deeds, so nothing should happen,” Huaiyin chimed in.

Chapter 119 Night Drinking for Two

“That makes some sense, but who can guarantee that this Fall Guy won’t do anything to us?” Dou Tang crossed his arms, looking thoughtful, but in reality, he was Fall Guy himself. “It’s always good to be a little more cautious and take precautions.”

"In addition, there shouldn't be many powerful half-demons left in Urayasu City, but it is precisely at times like these that we become more dangerous, because it means that the Onmyoji will definitely not be able to resist making a move, and we do not yet know his strength."

"It's getting late." Dou Tang stood up. "Everyone should go and rest. We can talk about anything else tomorrow. You've all worked hard today."

Everyone nodded and returned to their rooms. Just before entering, Xueqing turned back and asked, "What about that female half-demon?"

Dou Tang nodded and said, "I will release her."

Hearing this, Xueqing looked surprised: "Release her? Why release her? She's so strong, she might be a threat."

"Of course, I didn't let her go for nothing," Dou Tang said confidently. "I just had her pass on a message for us. It's not a good idea to keep that Onmyoji hiding like this."

"I placed something on her that could sense the area within that barrier."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qing nodded and said, "It's good that you know what's going on, but we don't know exactly how strong that guy is. Maybe he has even stronger half-demon subordinates."

Dou Tang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Xue Qing went inside, and the next moment, Lu Zizhen, who had just gone back inside, came out from the side again.

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow: "What's this?"

Lu Zizhen, dressed in pajamas, had a flushed face and was holding two large bottles of liquor.

She shook the bottle in her hand and said, "Come on, let's go out and have a drink together. We're free tomorrow anyway."

Dou Tang checked his phone and realized it was already 3 a.m. He yawned and followed Lu Zizhen out the door.

The two didn't go far, just strolled along the streets of the port area where the warehouse was located for a while, and found a street-side izakaya with late-night stalls.

These kinds of izakayas are rare in Tokyo now. After all, having a bunch of small stalls on the street isn't a good thing. Apart from a few well-known slums in Tokyo, you can hardly see them anymore.

However, in Urayasu City, especially around the port area, workers who have finished their night shifts also need to find a place to eat, and small izakayas are a good option.

If we're talking about food, there's not much to eat, just ramen or beef rice bowls, and occasionally oden and yakitori. The main thing is to eat your fill.

Dou Tang pulled back the curtain and smelled a rich aroma of chicken oil. Looking closer, he saw an old man wearing a white hat constantly turning the meat skewers on the electric grill behind the stall.

Several workers were already sitting in front of the small counter. The mobile stall was already small, and now there was even less space.
