But from a high vantage point, these people were quite obvious, so Dou Tang said, "We've spotted some suspicious individuals."
He told Kotaro and Old Wolf the location of the people mixed in with the group, then looked at Lu Zizhen and said, "Perhaps they are just socially anxious patients, but if they are acting strangely, then it is necessary to monitor them."
Lu Zizhen nodded: "Indeed... After all, real socially awkward people wouldn't participate in the Halloween parade. So, should I go downstairs to keep an eye on things?"
Dou Tang nodded, then turned his head back to stare at the street. He didn't plan to go downstairs because he could see more clearly from here.
But before Lu Zizhen could leave, those people suddenly started moving.
The half-demon, disguised as a vampire, suddenly bared his fangs and roared, his entire body swelling violently with his roar.
A gust of wind blew across the street as the half-demon roared to the sky. His sharp, piercing scream startled those around him, who hurriedly covered their ears and retreated.
The half-demon itself continued to grow, and in just a few seconds, it burst through the originally well-fitting suit, transforming into a huge half-human, half-bat monster, like a monster taken from various works of art, exuding an unreal feeling.
"There's a monster!!" A cry of alarm was drowned out by the crowd.
At this moment, the ordinary people around were stunned.
He opened his blood-red maw, his wings spread wide, and his huge wings lifted his body up, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, turning into a shadow that shrouded the street!
The wind generated by the flapping of the wings blew through the streets, lifting people's clothes and blowing off their hats, leaving all the ordinary people who witnessed it in utter shock.
The scene before my eyes was as if a creation from a nightmare had shattered the threshold to reality, appearing in the city in the most flamboyant and unrestrained manner.
Most importantly, it appears in busy urban areas.
Unlike previous incidents of evil spirits that were forgotten or suppressed, this time, due to the dereliction of duty by the Exorcist Association and the madness of the Onmyoji Ling Ming, the worst and most uncontrollable incident has occurred.
This means that, a year after the mysterious world has been continuously strengthened, on this Halloween, a time already teeming with the dead and monsters, the mysterious world, unknown to ordinary people, has finally opened its doors.
As the giant bat monster appeared, screams and gasps filled the streets. One after another, half-demons broke through the limitations of the human body, exposing their most terrifying original forms to everyone on the street.
A giant bear-man as tall as two people, a crocodile monster five meters long, a fox demon with a tail as red as flames... more than twenty strange creatures.
The strange half-demons were dancing wildly, their eyes filled with bloodlust and evil as they stared at the street before them, at the humans who were no different from expendable commodities in their eyes.
The bat half-demon flapped its wings, and a gale swept through the street, causing the black paper bats hanging outside the shops to be blown up, as if they were countless clones of itself, flying in the wind and skimming over the heads of every passerby.
Screams, wails, curses... In an instant, the entire street transformed into a hellish realm, a nightmare that existed in reality.
After the initial surprise, people were gripped by fear and fled in a panic, colliding and trampling each other, turning the whole street into chaos.
"Quickly, draw your guns and fight back!"
"Damn it, what is that thing? A monster?!"
The police officers who were originally maintaining order immediately picked up their weapons to fight back after seeing this scene. However, their weak weapons were so ineffective in the face of the well-prepared half-demons. The half-demons had made the police officers their primary target from the very beginning. In just a few breaths, the police officers were killed by the half-demons in various cruel ways. Some of their blood even splattered into the air and splashed onto the fleeing pedestrians.
The man holding the little boy frantically moved his legs and ran towards the end of the street.
The bat-like half-demon in the air seemed to have spotted him, or rather, the little boy dressed as a Kamen Rider displeased him greatly. So he let out a piercing shriek, folded his wings from high above, and swooped down toward the man, intending to kill the little boy in the man's arms in one fell swoop.
The piercing shriek was as chilling as the sound of a bomber diving down.
The man heard the sound getting closer and closer. He looked up and saw a cruel and evil smile on the face of the monster that had transformed into a bat. This scene, which seemed to be a real-life horror movie, terrified him. He tried to break free from the crowd, but was swept away and unable to move. He was even knocked down because he was too anxious.
A chaotic sound of footsteps rang out, and the man kneeling on the ground suddenly felt someone kick him, even trampling on his back as he hurriedly fled. He was too weak to do anything but shield the little boy with his body, using his own body to block all the harm that was about to happen.
The bat-like half-demon swooped down onto the man's back, grinning maliciously, and crashed into the ground.
"Bang!!!"
A deafening sound rang out, and the man jerked his neck back, only to find that he did not seem to be dead.
He looked up blankly, only to find a tall, turquoise figure standing before him.
Chapter 103 The Devastating Street
The turquoise knight faced the sky, his hands clasped together, sharp bone spikes piercing the bat half-demon's claws, and foul blood gushed from the bat half-demon's wounds.
At this moment, in the man's eyes, this green-clad figure was like a sacred statue standing between heaven and earth, majestic and reassuring.
In his eyes, the green-haired man had a giant bat-like half-demon on his head, and panicked pedestrians around him. He was hiding behind him, as if he had nothing to be afraid of.
The little boy stared wide-eyed at everything before him.
"Kamen Rider—!!"
The bat-demon roared, howling angrily, shouting with all its might who the man before it was, its eyes filled with such venomous hatred that they seemed almost tangible.
Those around were stunned by the roar and didn't know what to do for a moment. They just kept backing away from Kotaro and the bat half-demon.
Kotaro was also filled with furious rage. He roared, and the mouth of his hood seemed about to burst open. The bone spurs on the outside of his arms were covered with a dark green light, and serrated edges appeared on the inside of the bone spurs.
"Half-demon!!! Die!"
He pulled his arm down, the bone spurs cutting into his claws with a screeching sound, and a large amount of foul blood flowed out. The bat half-demon screamed and flapped its wings, trying to escape Kotaro's grasp.
This action only worsened the wound. Kotaro pulled downwards with force, and the bone spikes that were already piercing the claws continued to cut, slicing the bat half-demon's feet into vertical strips!
The shattered bone fragments were stuck together with flesh and blood, making it a gruesome sight. The bat half-demon also screamed and flailed its wings wildly, sending some unfortunate ordinary people flying with just a simple flap.
Kotaro would not allow the bat half-demon to run rampant, nor would he give him the chance to fly back to the sky. He suddenly spread his arms like a roc spreading its wings and stood in the middle of the street. The compound eyes on his head shone with a brilliant light, and his aura rose steadily.
Beneath the leather suit, a dark carapace was spreading across the body. Within this body that originally belonged to a human, the gifts of a demon were slowly awakening, and the ravenous, vulgar insects that would devour anything had already awakened.
He leaped up, and the eyes of pedestrians on the street focused on him. Although they had never seen the person in front of them before, they all knew that this guy... was Kamen Rider.
He bears traces of imitation of Kamen Rider 1 and has a distinct insect style, seemingly a Kamen Rider enthusiast. But the scene before us, where he leaps high and kicks a giant bat monster, is... a real-life occurrence.
Kamen Rider is a real person.
Knight Kick!!
Kotaro angrily kicked the bat half-demon, the powerful kick knocking it to the ground, revealing its ugly half-human, half-demon chest and abdomen. Its gray-black fur trembled with its violent panting, making it look utterly repulsive.
Kotaro fell from the sky and stretched out his hands again!
"Chi!!"
Six bone spurs pierced the bat half-demon's chest with unerring accuracy. This fatal attack caused the bat half-demon to scream in agony as it struggled. Its enormous membranous wings enveloped Kotaro, and the sharp claws between the wings dug into Kotaro's shoulders and back, scraping out hideous wounds.
But Kotaro didn't care at all. He just clenched his hands together and pulled down hard!
His entire chest cavity was ripped open! Ribs shattered, internal organs were churned into a pile of mush!
The bat half-demon convulsed, the light in its eyes vanished instantly, and it stopped moving.
Kotaro broke free of the membrane wings on his back, stood up on the bat half-demon with his wounds, and looked around.
The entire street has been transformed into hell.
Countless screams and wails converged, becoming a cacophony of sounds, with everyone on the street playing the music.
The air was thick with the smell of blood. As far as Kotaro could see, the fleeing people were terrified as they were chased by the half-demon, and many ordinary people had already fallen to the ground.
At that moment, Kotaro suddenly realized that although the four of them were absolutely dominant, they were simply unable to be in two places at once.
They couldn't have done any better... Although they already knew about the half-demon's plan, they couldn't notify the authorities at all. If the authorities knew about this, they might be the first to turn their guns on them.
Even if all four of them went out in force, they wouldn't gain any advantage against these half-demons who had completely given up... While one knight killed a half-demon, the other half-demons could kill many humans.
The far part of the street was also blocked off by half-demons. Pedestrians flocked to the shops along the street. The shops, which were once filled with a festive atmosphere, were now being brutally trampled on, and everything inside the shops was in ruins.
The half-demons did not block all the entrances and exits of the street, and even intentionally let pedestrians go, because they understood that as long as someone was alive, everything that happened here could be known.
They hunted wildly, roaring ferociously, enjoying the pleasure of having no way out.
Not far away, the old wolf had just pulled the heart out of a half-demon's chest and crushed it.
Then, he looked at Kotaro and roared, "What are you standing there for! Get to work!"
Kotaro seemed to wake from a dream, shook his head vigorously, and rushed towards a half-demon in the distance that was gnawing on human corpses.
Upon seeing this, the little boy suddenly began to tremble, trying to break free from his father's embrace and rush towards the Kamen Rider who was fighting.
The boy's father quickly hugged him, swallowed hard, and got up from the ground.
“Dad… Kamen Rider…” The little boy hesitated, he had never seen such a bloody and realistic scene in a tokusatsu show, and he couldn’t even understand what was so terrifying about the bodies of ordinary people being torn apart, but his instinct to survive made him cry.
The man held the child in his arms tightly, watching Kotaro bravely move forward, and firmly engraved that figure in his heart.
………………
high places.
Dou Tang stared at the scene unfolding on the ground with bloodshot eyes, then stood up.
Seeing the carnage on the street, Lu Zizhen narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Madman...we were still one step too late!"
"There's still time to fix it."
Dou Tang let out a long breath, and countless points of light appeared in the air. After a brief convergence of light, he transformed into a giant dragon, the Fall Bean Man, whose dragon wings suddenly trembled.
"I'm going down first!"
Lu Zizhen interrupted him, saying, "You alone can't save everyone! Dou Tang... it's time!"
Dou Tang hesitated for a moment after hearing her words, then slowly nodded.
With a thought, he sensed that the entire city of Puan suddenly "came to life".
Countless sources of resentment awaken on every street, constantly emanating vibrant and excited fluctuations of resentment.
Chapter 104 Hundred Dou’s Night Journey
On Halloween night, some people are already participating in the Halloween parade, while some office workers have just finished get off work.
A few blocks away, the chaos caused by the half-demons had not yet reached this place, and ordinary office workers had no energy to participate in the Halloween parade; they just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
The man held the steering wheel with one hand and reached for the passenger seat with the other, where there was a box. He picked up a French fry from it, stuffed it into his mouth, and complained about the traffic jam as he chewed.
The man wasn't envious of those who participated in the Halloween parade. After all, compared to a whole night of revelry, he'd rather go home, have a drink, and get a good night's sleep. That kind of entertainment that required a lot of time was a luxury for him.
Just as he was about to finish his dinner while stuck in traffic, a person suddenly stood up in front of his car.
To be precise, it was a... round, huge... candy bean with arms and legs.
The man's eyes widened.
"Wuhu..."
The pink Fall Bean character leaped high, raising its arms as if to stretch, and its dark eyes blinked on its pale oval face.
After stretching, the pink beanie turned around and looked at the man inside the car; their eyes met.
The half-eaten fries in the man's mouth fell onto his lap.
He looked on, his face filled with shock.
The pink Bean Man raised his hand, waving his chubby arm, and greeted the man.
The man snapped out of his surprise. His first thought was that this guy was actually going to participate in the Halloween parade, after all, that outfit... upon closer inspection, was really too cute.
So he waved his hand and said, "Um...excuse me...could you please move aside?"
"No matter what, lying down on the road and then suddenly standing up is just too dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, the Fall Bean looked around, its upper part slightly bent as if nodding in agreement with the man's point of view, before raising its hands high.
The man looked at the Fall Guy in confusion, not understanding what the guy was up to.
But then he saw a scene that he would never forget.
The pink Bean Man resembled a professional bodybuilder, raising his hands high before slowly lowering them.
During this descent, the seemingly inflated, round arm gradually contracted and solidified, transforming into bulging, even ferocious, strong muscles.
The two arms, when fully bent, transformed into incredibly strong arms that would make any man envious, with lines so defined that one might doubt whether a single punch would send someone to their death.
Fall Guy stretches out his arms to the left and right, his forearms bent, and strikes a standard bodybuilding pose in the middle of the street. His arms and torso seem like they don't belong to the same body.
Then, he slowly brought his arms together and swung them downwards, his back arching high, and his round body began to deflate, transforming into solid muscles.
Two massive pectoral muscles, six perfect abdominal muscles, and thigh muscles that crisscross like mountains—just like that, the pink jelly bean transformed into a muscular giant over 1.8 meters tall in front of the man, still wearing that pale mask on his face, revealing no expression whatsoever.
The man was speechless.
The pink beanie let out another "whoosh," waved goodbye to the man, then, with its five fingers together, leaped high into the air like an athlete, landing directly in the middle of the street, positioned above the center line, standing in the middle of the traffic.
His legs were crossed one in front of the other, and he got into position.
"Oh!"
The man even felt his car shudder slightly, and after the shudder, only a deep footprint was left on the ground, while the pink beanman sped off ahead.
This scene made the man realize that the guy he had just encountered was definitely not someone participating in a Halloween parade... but an absolute monster!
