Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 211

So what about Huang Quan? If Dou Tang is the vessel for the Fall Guys world, then what is the vessel for Huang Quan?

Whatever it is, it shouldn't be an individual like Dou Tang.

Mikazuki yawned and whispered, "Damn it... never mind, I'll just sleep a little longer."

"Also, you should go and see those little bald guys. You're their pillar of support, but it's not good for you to always ignore them."

Dou Tang spoke up: "Do you have any leads regarding that Onmyoji?"

"...We have no clue. Urayasu City is too big. It's a bit beyond our capabilities with just a few of us."

Mikazuki reached out, her slender fingers tapping Tou Tang's back, and said, "I..."

I'm thinking...whether I should try using your sensory abilities.

"How about we meet the little bald guy and then go to Puan City together?"

"What about Huaiyin?" Dou Tang asked in return.

"Why not just have her look after the house? Or let her stay with her exorcist friend. I remember her friend's name was something like... Ringo Shinzen?"

"After the battle with Taira no Masakado, although Kaine's identity was not exposed, Ringo Shinzen made a good appearance and can be considered a well-known new exorcist in Tokyo."

“By following her, Huaiyin can also learn something.”

As Mikazuki was talking, he suddenly started laughing to himself. The low laughter sounded somewhat ambiguous, like a coquettish young girl teasing one's heartstrings.

"Dou Tang, this kind of chat feels really comfortable."

Dou Tang carefully placed his hand around Huai Yin's ear to block out some of the sound, and said, "What's so comfortable about it? It's just chatting."

Mikazuki's hand slid across Toudou's back. From an angle Toudou couldn't see, Mikazuki buried half his face in his arms, his eyes shimmering with tears.

Her slender, fair fingers kept moving across her back, as if she were writing something.

Toudou only recognized the beginning: "君が"

Just recognizing that opening made his hair stand on end, and he unconsciously gritted his teeth.

She wouldn't want to write "君が好きだ", would she? ?

No, no, I'm not interested in cats...

But after writing only the beginning, Mikazuki chuckled again, placed his hand on Toudou's back and wiped it, seemingly erasing the writing, and said, "Damn it, what are you so nervous about? Your back is as stiff as an iron plate."

Dou Tang swallowed hard but didn't reply.

Mikazuki continued to lower his voice, and the kitten murmured first: "I really enjoy chatting like this. It feels so different talking to you as a human than before. It feels like I'm finally treating you as an equal!"

"You wouldn't understand, would you? After all, you've never been a cat demon or anything like that."

"Think about it, you live in this world, but your body is completely different from the beings around you. They either love you or hate you. When they find that you can speak like them, they are sometimes in awe and sometimes disgusted."

"Even though you are in society, you feel out of place. Almost every living thing around you is completely different from you. You are a wanderer in this city with no place to call home."

Dou Tang chimed in, "It sounds lonely."

"Yes, Loneliness, your parents disappeared before you became a monster. They were probably just insignificant stray cats."

"Humans may have friends, but they will not have family."

"It's the same among monsters. They may have close friends, but they won't have anyone to continue moving forward with them. No one in this world can lean on you and move forward together. It's very painful."

Dou Tang gently stroked Huai Yin's head, feeling a mix of emotions himself.

Ever since I came into this world.

Dou Tang is constantly striving to live a normal life, trying to become like an ordinary person. He used to be revered and feared by others, and thinking about it now, although he has a human appearance, he seems as lonely as Mikazuki.

But Mikazuki should be even lonelier than him. If Toudou wanted to, he could choose to live like a normal person, since at least he still has a human form.

But the crescent moon doesn't work.

In this city ruled by humans, monsters and evil spirits are a minority. They are destined to be lonely, but Mikazuki has always longed for a life with companions. Although he was panicked when he turned into a human, he seems to be somewhat grateful now.

Dou Tang laughed and said, "What, don't you want to turn back into a cat?"

Mikazuki sighed but did not reply.

Do not make jokes.

There might be a place for the cat Mikazuki next to Dou Tang, but there probably won't be a place for the human Mikazuki.

She has always been realistic, knowing what she needs and what she can't get even if she tries.

Chapter 7 Exorcists Also Use Twitter

Dou Tang couldn't understand Mikazuki's little thoughts, but he deeply understood the loneliness she spoke of.

He felt Mikazuki's careful fingers moving behind him, sighed, and said, "At least for now, I don't have to be so lonely, right?"

Mikazuki nodded and said, "Being with the two of you really makes me feel safe and comfortable... especially what you said to me at Nurarihyon's place the other day, it was quite touching."

Dou Tang laughed and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Mikazuki blushed, curled up on the sofa, and scratched Tou Tang's back with his five fingers before asking, "So, when are we going to Urayasu City?"

"Any time."

Just then, Dou Tang suddenly felt Huai Yin in his arms move. A small hand reached out from under the blanket and rubbed the soft flesh on Dou Tang's neck.

"Brother, I'm awake." Huaiyin murmured, snuggling closer to Doutang's arms. Her voice was soft, languid, and a little hoarse.

"Ah."

Dou Tang helped Huai Yin straighten her hair, then asked, "When did you wake up?"

Huaiyin yawned, raised her head, and finally opened her bright black eyes. She stared at Dou Tang's face with some weariness and whispered, "Hmm... just now, I felt like you guys were talking so noisily, so I slowly woke up."

Mikazuki climbed up from the sofa, somewhat excitedly saying...

"That's great! Let's have breakfast! I'm so hungry!"

Dou Tang scratched his nose and suddenly said, "What about the cat food I bought for you before? I remember some of it got a little damp because I didn't finish it."

Mikazuki slapped Tou Tang's arm and bared his teeth angrily, "You've turned into a human and you still want me to eat cat food?! You're asking for it!"

Huaiyin chuckled twice, then shrugged and buried her head in Doutang's chest.

………………

Lu Zizhen yawned.

Since the Taira no Masakado incident ended, Tokyo has been unusually quiet, with almost no paranormal events occurring. Apart from a few incidents that were only vaguely linked to evil spirits, the other evil spirits that were active in Tokyo have gone into hiding.

Of course, there was also the Okutama Town incident last night.

Information about the Okutama Town incident has been urgently sent to the Exorcist Association. Suiten Keisaburo should already be working on a plan. Just thinking about that old man scratching his head with a troubled look on his face makes Ritsuko feel very comfortable.

She stood up and drew back the curtains. The morning light streamed into the apartment. Lu Zizhen's apartment was on a high floor and faced the sun, so she could enjoy plenty of sunshine every morning.

Natural light streamed into the room. Lu Zizhen took a deep breath, feeling her body, which had been a little stiff from being busy, relax a bit, and then yawned again.

I took out my phone and checked. Sure enough, the information that Mr. Ren had appeared in Okutama Town to resolve the incident had been urgently sent to various exorcist platforms, and even on public Twitter, people were discussing it, not caring whether it would be exposed to ordinary people.

However, being exposed is not a problem. Exorcists have special accounts on Twitter to post tweets. These accounts disguise themselves as strange artists who enjoy pretending to be exorcists online. The various accounts interact with each other to build a real exorcist world. This behavior even has its own exclusive tags.

However, only true exorcists know that hidden within countless tweets tagged #ExorcistLife are interactions between real exorcist groups.

As for being exposed? They don't care at all. Those ordinary people who follow the trend and post with tags are the best disguise for exorcists. In fact, compared to those who follow the trend and play role-playing games online, the tweets posted by real exorcists are just a drop in the ocean.

Lu Zizhen scrolled through her phone and saw a message.

Urayasu Yumuri: Damn it, there are so few monsters in Urayasu City lately. Does anyone have any clues? @Lu Zhenzi @Urayasu Battosai @Today's Sumida is also littered with corpses @Bald Guy's Tokyo Life...

Later in the comments section, this account named Urayasu Mengli tagged a large number of alt accounts used by exorcists, including Suiten Keisaburo.

By the way, Suiten Keisaburo's Twitter account is called: Suiten Palace's Most Accurate Guide to Having a Child - No Arguments Allowed.

It's clear that this old fellow is extremely loyal to his own divine palace.

Below, several exorcists from Urayasu City left comments.

Wenhao from Bunkyo Ward didn't want to fail his course: "The few beast demons I was investigating have also suddenly disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a trace. This is really abnormal."

I'm not a scumbag, I'm just in heat: "Indeed, I am a beast demon. Recently, several of my arrogant friends have simply disappeared without a trace."

Do you want to touch my canine teeth? "Catch me upstairs, you idiot! How dare you show your face like this?"

I'm not a jerk, I'm just in heat: "Why wouldn't I dare? What can I do if I'm in heat and you happen to be there? There's absolutely no way you'd make me take responsibility!"

"You scumbag dog!"

"A scumbag dog has appeared. Urayasu Dog Catching Alliance 1/999."

"Capture the scumbag dog alive and restore a stable environment for the stray dog ​​demon in Urayasu! 2/999!"

Lu Zizhen scrolled through the arguing comments section that had gone off-topic, and continued scrolling down until she finally found what she wanted to see.

RINGO, a dog breeder: "It is said that an Onmyoji who can turn monsters into humans has appeared in Urayasu City. This rumor is growing bigger and bigger. Maybe the monster you are looking for has also gone into hiding by turning into a human."

This meticulously cared-for dog RINGO... seems to be Ringo Shinzen?

Lu Zizhen raised an eyebrow.

Urayasu Yumuri: "@RINGO, is it true? I've heard this rumor too, is it reliable?"

RINGO, a dog breeder: "It's true. The monster my friend was tracking was found to have turned into a human. It seems that the Onmyoji has some kind of method to turn monsters into pure humans. It's a bit unbelievable."

I'm not a jerk, I'm just in heat: "@RINGO, I desperately need a way to turn into a human. By the way, once I'm human, can we follow each other? If not, I'm happy to be your dog."

RINGO, a dog owner who takes good care of her dog: "@I'm not a jerk, I'm just in heat. You know what? My dog ​​has already been spayed/neutered."

I'm not a jerk, I'm just in heat: "@Do you want to touch my canines? I'll come over for dinner tonight!"

Lu Zizhen pursed her lips, feeling as if she had just watched a good show. Then she browsed the Twitter accounts of some other exorcists she followed and finally confirmed the news.

Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) capable of turning yokai (supernatural beings) into humans are now not only appearing in Urayasu City, but have also committed numerous crimes with extreme brazenness. Urayasu is now...

It's likely that many monsters have already disguised themselves as humans and gone into hiding in the city.

Although they have lost the great power they had when they were monsters, their physical abilities are still much stronger than those of ordinary people. In other words, there are many superhumans wandering around Urayasu City.

These guys might have been forced to become human to evade exorcists because of their bloodlust or something similar. More than a dozen local exorcists from Urayasu City lost sight of their targets.

Chapter 8 The Painful Mask of the Star People

Dou Tang escorted Huaiyin to the Shenqian family.

Ryuichi Shinzen opened the door, smoking a cigarette, his eyes drooping and a helpless expression on his face. He said, "So, if you're going to Urayasu, you'll have to send your sister here to be fostered?"

Dou Tang patted Huai Yin's back and nodded.

Ryuuichi Kamiya sighed and said, "Well, that's fine... It just so happens that Ringo and your sister seem to be good friends."

He glanced at Huaiyin again, a hint of admiration in his eyes, but his words were somewhat unforgiving: "She's just too reckless, just like Ringo."

Huaiyin, carrying a backpack, scratched her head sheepishly.

Dou Tang said, "This trip to Pu'an City may be dangerous, and I don't dare to let her go on this risk, so I'm troubling you, Mr. Shenqian."

Ryuuichi Kamiya nodded and said, "It's alright, it's just my daughter's friend, her partner's younger sister, staying at our house. But did you go to Urayasu City because of that mysterious Onmyoji?"

Dou Tang hummed in agreement and said, "It seems that the news about that Onmyoji has already spread."

"It's definitely spread." Ryuuichi Shinzen exhaled a puff of smoke, but after glancing at Ayane, he reluctantly stubbed it out and continued, "The rumor that the Onmyoji can turn monsters into humans has spread quite far, and many beast-monsters who want to become human are heading to Urayasu City."

“The city of Urayasu will probably be in chaos for a while… I think there will be quite a few beast demons who are still bloodthirsty even after they turn into humans. Those guys will become murderers even after they become human… If you want to find clues about Onmyoji, you might as well start with murder cases.”

Dou Tang rubbed his chin: "And... it would be best to find yourself a suitable identity to investigate."

Huaiyin suddenly tugged at Doutang's sleeve and said, "Brother, let's be detectives!"

Ryuu Shinzen's eyes lit up.

detective?

Dou Tang rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Detective... do you want me to get an anesthetic injection? Or drink a shrinking potion?"

Ryuichi Kamizen chimed in, "Forget about Conan and Kogoro. At your age, you could consider Kindaichi."

"However, if it's related to yokai, then 'Folklorist Yakumo Itsuki' would be more fitting!"

Seeing the confused looks on Dou Tang and Huai Yin's faces, Shen Qianlongyong was somewhat embarrassed again, and clicked his tongue, saying, "So it really is an unpopular choice..."

"I always felt that you and Jiangdao-sensei are both shut-ins... you just hide it very well." Dou Tang teased.

Ryuichi Shinzen remained silent, a cigarette already extinguished dangling from his lips.
