Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 331

"They didn't hit too hard, it's just..."

Aida Gaku looked completely puzzled: "The person who reported this is an evil spirit."

"An evil spirit who can be friends with Kiryu Toudou, how about that? Just hearing about it sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?"

Shenqian Longyong blinked, looked at the somewhat dim-witted bald, burly man in front of him, and said, "Have you forgotten that Jiangdao is also an evil spirit?"

Aida Yue was taken aback, then suddenly realized: "Oh right, right, I chat with him online every day, I almost forgot he's a skeleton!"

Ryuichi Shinzen continued, "Getting back to business, how's the wrap-up going?"

Aida Yue began his report: "More than thirty biker gang members who took the Treasure Sugar Pill, ten of whom are minors, are now in stable condition, though some have minor injuries and need to be hospitalized."

Rest and recuperate.

Although I really wanted to say that injuries requiring hospitalization shouldn't be considered physical injuries, I didn't interrupt the bald man, who had finally started to get down to business.

Aida Gaku continued, "The leader was named Yagami Shin, and he has been arrested. There was also another leader named Chiya Kyujino, who has also been brought under control."

"The origin of the Baoyu sugar pills is still under investigation. I estimate we'll have to take them back and hypnotize them to find out more details."

Ryuichi Kamiya nodded and said, "Make sure the cleanup is done cleanly. Tokyo is getting more and more chaotic lately, and we can't let petty scoundrels like the Headless Dog cause any more trouble."

The association is currently in a precarious situation, and in order to maintain stability in Tokyo, it has to divert manpower to support Nikko City, and is already on the verge of operating beyond its capacity.

Even a demon hunter like Aida Gaku, who had only recently arrived in Tokyo, had already entered the upper echelons of the association, which shows just how desperately the association was for manpower.

Not to mention the return of exorcists like Ryusuke Shinzen, who had originally retired.

"Should we meet that evil spirit again? She said her name is Kuroki Keizaki. Should we check her background?" Aida Gaku asked.

"Let's stop investigating." Ryuuichi Shinzen shook his head. "Since he's Kiryu-kun's friend, let's give him more trust. Isn't it tiring to take on extra work for yourself for no reason?"

"However, it's still necessary to meet. Let's go."

Ryuyu Shinzen turned around, pushed open the door leading to the underground, and walked down the stairs with Gaku Aida. After passing through a corridor, they pushed open the door to the ballroom.

The dance hall at this point could no longer be described as a complete mess.

The air was filled with damp moisture and a sticky, bloody smell. Stagnant water and pools of blood were everywhere, the blood and water mixed together, as if a massacre had taken place in a flooded area.

The controlled bikers were already delirious from hypnosis, slumped against a corner of the wall, each of them shaking their heads and entering a light sleep. Several exorcists were lighting incense and chanting incantations to continue stabilizing the bikers' state.

Their wounds have been bandaged and they are not in any danger of death.

In front of Ryuyu and Shinzen, on the sofa in the center of the dance floor, sat a woman in a red dress, looking somewhat sad and pitiful, more like a victim.

Ryuu Shinzen could tell at a glance that her red dress was stained with blood.

It was her own blood... The dress was covered with tiny cuts, and the knife wounds beneath them had quickly scabbed over and were almost healed.

The biker gang member wasn't fatally wounded, but she herself was covered in injuries... Ryuuichi Shinzen suddenly felt that the evil spirit before him could indeed be trusted.

Ryuichi Shinzen walked onto the dance floor and said, "Miss Kuroki, is that right?"

Kuroki Keizaki raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and lingering apprehension. She nodded slightly and answered somewhat reservedly, "Yes, it's me. I am Kuroki Keizaki."

"Uh, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." She forced a somewhat awkward smile.

“It’s nothing.” Ryuichi Kamizaki shook his head. “We should thank you for helping us catch the holder of the precious sugar pills. These people are like invisible bombs to the neighborhood, posing a great threat.”

Ryuichi Kamiyama looked around, found a sofa nearby and sat down, saying, "Miss Kuroki, we can take care of the cleanup here. You don't need to worry about the aftermath."

“If you have something else to do, you can leave now, but if you’d like, I have a few personal questions for you.”

Kuroki Keisaki thought for a moment, figuring that since this was an exorcist trusted by Kiryu Todoro, she should be safe, so she nodded and said, "Please ask."

"Miss Kuroki, you are the owner of the crown, aren't you?" Ryuuichi Kamzen asked bluntly.

Kuroki Keisaki hesitated for a moment, then confessed, "Yes."

"Do many people already know about the existence of the crown?" Kuroki Keizaki asked curiously.

“At least the higher-ups in the association are aware of it,” Ryuichi Shinzen replied, then posed his second question: “Can you sense the existence of the Crown Target?”

Kuroki Keisaki recalled the enormous crown she had seen. She had confirmed the existence of Tou-tang by looking at the center of that thing, but apart from that, she had never seen any other crown owner.

So she shook her head: "I don't have that ability."

"Hmm... I understand." Ryuuichi Kamiya nodded, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Kuroki. I have no other questions."

"If you have any other issues in the future, you can seek help from the association. We will handle any tricky follow-up tasks."

That being said, Ryuuichi Shinzen was still hiding some things.

That is, if Kuroki Keisakiko plays the role of the bad guy in the conflict, then the association will also take action and will not hold back just because she is Kiryu Toudou's person.

This is the association's bottom line.

Kuroki Keizaki nodded, bid farewell to the two exorcists, and then left the dance hall, a place of trouble, while there weren't many people on the street yet.

Chapter 246 Do you want to debut?

Its daybreak.

A blinding glow appeared on the horizon, illuminating the city of Nikko in the valley.

Several men in suits were squatting in a row in the parking lot next to the convenience store. They looked young and wore high-end, luxurious suits, which puzzled people but made them hesitant to approach and ask questions.

With the sound of the convenience store door opening, Lu Zizhen walked out, turned a corner, and stood in front of the group. She placed the plastic bag she was carrying on the ground and tossed it to Dou Tangyi.

He said, holding a can of coffee, "You've been looking so worried for so long, have you come up with any good ideas?"

Dou Tang shook his head and said, "Not at all."

"Then stop wearing that sour face." Lu Zizhen chuckled and squatted down next to Dou Tang. The way the five of them squatted in a row was quite funny, like a bunch of mushrooms growing by the wall.

Huaiyin and the others started dividing the instant food they bought in the bag for breakfast, while Lu Zizhen took a rice ball and put it in her mouth, while taking out her phone and saying indistinctly, "Look, this... you've become famous, huh!"

Dou Tang took the phone and looked at it, then let out a long sigh.

The phone screen showed the footage of his fight with Tamamo-no-Mae last night. There were even many other photos taken by other residents of the building. In the constantly shaky footage, the entire floor was filled with smoke and dust. Dou Tang, wearing a red helmet, was fighting against Tamamo-no-Mae, who was dressed in a gorgeous kimono. The aftershocks of the fight were so devastating. The reinforced concrete was as fragile as tofu in front of Dou Tang's fists and feet.

This is something you only see in superhero movies.

Lu Zizhen finished her rice ball in a few bites, wiped her hands with a tissue, and said, "Now, the hashtag 'Red Helmet Suit Thug vs. Tamamo-no-Mae' has become a trending topic on Twitter."

"Many people are asking when this movie will be released."

Old Wolf spat out his drink all over the floor with a "pfft," then burst into laughter: "That's right, hahaha... Why don't we take this opportunity to make a movie!"

"There are also many people who insist that it is all real, saying that monsters have really appeared in the world, and they are arguing with those who insist that it is just movie special effects."

Lu Zizhen pursed her lips: "To be honest, it's like how many people in the past firmly believed that curses and magic really existed, and therefore did not believe in science."

"Now, many people believe in science, so the existence of evil spirits is no longer believable to them."

"These people... probably never considered that the two could coexist."

“However, there are also advantages,” Lu Zizhen continued. “Their disputes will draw more and more bystanders into this vortex of public opinion. The outcome of the public opinion is not important at all. What is important is that the video of the existence of evil spirits will spread in the public opinion, constantly expanding its influence and affecting people’s subconscious.”

“There is more and more of this kind of propaganda, just like something that should exist in the world, slowly seeping into people’s lives and raising their acceptance level.” Lu Zizhen held up a finger: “In this way, when they really encounter evil spirits, even if they are still very surprised, they will quickly accept the facts.”

"The so-called human psychology is such a simple thing, no different from that of domesticated animals." Lu Zizhen glanced at the old wolf wolfing down its food.

The old wolf looked up, pricked up its ears, and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

"It's okay, keep eating." Lu Zizhen waved her hand.

The old wolf continued to fight.

Dou Tang opened his coffee, took a couple of sips, handed the phone back to Lu Zizhen, looked up at the sky and said, "That's true, but more things will definitely happen in Sunshine City. If things don't end well the first time, things will only get worse."

"With the evil spirits lurking in Nikko City and the tourists who come here because of its reputation, this place will become more and more chaotic. Can the association manage it?" Dou Tang frowned.

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Lu Zizhen laughed: “A large number of the association’s personnel will be transferred to Nikko City, while the Tokyo side will be handled by Suiten Keisaburo’s company. Even though he has now gone independent, he can’t refuse when the authorities ask him to maintain order.”

"If they dare to refuse, and the authorities really take action, neither Shui Tianjing Sanlang nor those profit-driven exorcists will be able to withstand it."

"Know how to create barriers and use spells? Go talk to a submachine gun then." Lu Zizhen sneered: "Hiding is easy for exorcists, but after being wanted, can these exorcists who have registered their real names still go from luxury to frugality and experience the life of a fugitive?"

“Suiten Keisaburo must step in to maintain order in Tokyo, while the association will protect Nikko City.”

"Besides... the current situation is very favorable to us." Lu Zizhen snapped his fingers: "The evil spirits that were originally infiltrating Tokyo have made a large-scale advance towards Nikko City after learning that Tamamo-no-Mae is there. They also want to see the great demon. Doesn't this relieve some of the pressure on Tokyo?"

"Thanks to the narrow terrain of the valley, Nikko City has built a huge scanning barrier. Any evil spirit that tries to enter will be detected. This is much simpler than trying to catch evil spirits in the huge city of Tokyo."

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang immediately understood.

Huaiyin exclaimed in surprise, suddenly realizing, "So Sister Lu had planned this all along? The main purpose of our coming to Nikko City, including making a big scene, was actually to relieve the pressure on Tokyo?"

"On the surface, it's about making a big fuss about Tamamo-no-Mae, but in reality, it's about luring the yokai from Tokyo into the valley, secretly plotting to catch them like turtles in a jar!"

"What a brilliant plan, Sister Lu!" Huaiyin clapped her hands in admiration.

After being praised like that, Lu Zizhen waved her hand proudly: "It's nothing, it's nothing at all."

She turned to look at Dou Tang and continued to explain, "So, it's not just us looking for Tamamo-no-Mae anymore."

"Those evil spirits and monsters are also looking for her."

"If they come into contact with Tamamo-no-Mae, there will only be three outcomes." She held up three fingers. "One is that after making contact with her, they make no progress and turn away."

“We’ll let this evil spirit go, or we can use a spell to check if it needs to be killed.”

"The second possibility is that the evil spirit and Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't agree on anything and started fighting. And as long as they fought, they would definitely leave traces of resentment. We can track those traces of the struggle to get closer to Tamamo-no-Mae."

"The third possibility is that they became supporters of Tamamo-no-Mae. Although this seems dangerous, it actually increases the scale of their operations. As the scale increases, the risk of exposure will inevitably increase."

"As for whether there will be any trouble after there are more people..." Lu Zizhen pointed at Lao Lang and Guang Taro, and said with a wicked smile, "Why do you think I called them here?"

Dou Tang nodded and said, "I have to say... you really put some thought into this arrangement."

So what do we do next?

Lu Zizhen chuckled, pinched her chin, and looked at Dou Tang with a meaningful gaze: "Do you want to debut?"

Dou Tang was taken aback.

Chapter 247 Tamamo-no-Mae's Latency

The debut that Lu Zizhen mentioned is actually very simple.

She wants to take advantage of this wave of public opinion to continue promoting the existence of Tamamo-no-Mae, and the previous videos were a good start.

Following this video, she plans to shoot a short film... about Dou Tang and Tamamo-no-Mae.

"So, the popularity of erotic novels alone is not enough to maintain Tamamo-no-Mae's popularity." Lu Zizhen said, sharing her idea: "Why don't we just make a short film? The content of this short film is a chaotic battle between Red Helmet, Fall Guy, and Tamamo-no-Mae."

Dou Tang's gaze became unusually strange, constantly glancing at Kotaro and the old wolf.

These two don't even know they're Fall Guys!

"Fall Guys?" Kotaro asked, somewhat surprised.

Old Wolf excitedly raised his hand and said, "Ah, can I dress up as a Fall Guy? After seeing those Fall Guys the other day, I'm really curious about them!"

His eyes sparkled, and he seemed very happy.

Dou Tang's expression also became strange.

"Oh, Old Wolf, you're really enthusiastic!" Lu Zizhen gave a thumbs up and said, "Then it's up to you! I've already ordered the Fall Guy costume, and it's all up to you to play Fall Guy!"

"As for Dou Tang, you'll continue playing the Red Helmet!" Lu Zizhen pointed at Dou Tang: "Just play yourself, and I'll play Tamamo-no-Mae!"

"You're acting?" Dou Tang raised an eyebrow. "Then who will film and direct?"

Lu Zizhen waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, let Kotaro film it. I'll write the script and give it to Huaiyin, and Huaiyin will be the director!"

Huaiyin wasn't particularly interested at first, but when she heard that she would be the director, she immediately perked up and asked with a smile, "Hey, really?"

"Of course, no problem." Lu Zizhen patted her shoulder encouragingly, "As long as there's money for special effects, and the fights between us are realistic enough, even if the script is a mess and the director is a newbie, it can still be a hit."

And so, the so-called filming was decided on a whim by Lu Zizhen.

From the beginning, Dou Tang felt that Lu Zizhen was a very magical person. Whether it was her magical charm or her magical thoughts, they all gave off a feeling that was different from ordinary people.

Especially her initiative and her unconventional thinking.

That wasn't madness, but rather... a pursuit of freedom. Whatever her idea was, she would find a way to realize it. She would continue to accumulate power until she could realize her ideas at will.

Once she actually realizes her brilliant idea, she will execute it without hesitation.

"So, what about the filming equipment and location?" Kotaro asked.

"Let Ninomiya-san prepare. After all, we're helping Nikko City, so he'll definitely be happy to help." Ryuko-sada had no qualms whatsoever, treating Ninomiya Yuuki, who was already working overtime, as a mere tool.
