Mikazuki immediately cowered, wagging its tail and fawningly saying, "Little master, I can take a bath myself..."
Huaiyin snorted and grabbed Mikazuki's tail from behind. Mikazuki immediately let out a howl and froze on the spot.
Since it was Halloween, Mikazuki's cat ears and tail didn't attract anyone's attention.
"Yeah... Mikazuki is taller than me now, and he doesn't need my help to bathe anymore," Huaiyin said, rather displeased.
Chapter 109 The White-Clad Girl Seems Unpredictable
Mikazuki snorted twice, seemingly feeling a little embarrassed. She hadn't felt that way when she was a cat, but now that she was a human, she felt a bit awkward talking about bathing with people.
Huaiyin pouted when she saw her expression.
The worst-case scenario still happened.
Mikazuki is cute, but she's human now... She still often thinks of herself as a cat, like snuggling on the sofa or even resting her head on her brother's lap...
The thought of my brother actually bathing her in the past makes me feel weird...
Huaiyin shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
Mikazuki was originally a cat, so no matter how she transforms into a human, her aesthetic sense won't change, right? A cat would still like cats, not humans, wouldn't she?
The three left the haunted house and continued to wander aimlessly through the amusement park, occasionally taking photos with some NPCs, which seemed to be quite enjoyable.
As they walked, Harui, who had been looking at her phone, suddenly stopped and exclaimed in shock, "Come and see this!"
Mikazuki and Ayane, who had walked several steps forward, quickly came back upon hearing this and looked at the phone in Harui's hand.
The screen shows a video that is being shared rapidly on Twitter. The video, which is only a few minutes long, has already been shared thousands of times.
The content of the video is even more astonishing.
The video shows a street littered with corpses, and countless monsters standing on it. These monsters have characteristics of both humans and wild beasts, and they look fierce and cruel.
They rampaged through the streets, relentlessly hunting down ordinary people, resembling a scene from an apocalyptic movie.
But then, accompanied by countless childish yet loud "Whoa!" cries, countless colorful jelly bean-like figures rushed out from all directions and charged towards the monsters.
A single Fall Guy can't beat a monster; several Fall Guys will have their limbs smashed in a single encounter.
But the Fall Guys had the advantage in numbers. Those round, rolling creatures swarmed forward, overwhelming the bloodthirsty monsters. Just watching the video, you could feel the Fall Guys' fearless spirit.
In just a few seconds, as the person filming the video exclaimed in surprise, more and more Bean-like beings appeared, falling from the rooftops, rushing out of the streets, and even crashing through windows on the upper floors of buildings on both sides before leaping down. For a moment, the entire street was filled with their cries, which sounded quite reassuring.
Fall Guys protect ordinary people and fight against evil.
This is the most direct feeling this video gives people.
The video is titled "Monsters Appear at Halloween Parade, Fall Guys Save Citizens, What Exactly Happened in Urayasu City?"
"This is..." Mikazuki was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Kawana, who was standing next to him, wanted to exclaim, but quickly covered her mouth and stopped herself from making a sound.
"These are half-demons, aren't they?" Harui scratched his head. "Is this the half-demons' plan? To kill someone during the Halloween parade?"
"But where did these Fall Guys come from?" she wondered. "I thought Fall Guys was just an urban legend!"
Mikazuki and Kawan looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Why would Dou Tang take such a bold action? Why would he risk exposing Fall Guys to the world?
After watching the video, Harui breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god... thank goodness there were these strange jelly bean people, otherwise the entire street where the parade was held would probably have been slaughtered."
"Old Wolf and the others can't handle so many half-demons at the same time... They can kill them, but they can't stop the half-demons from spreading out and slaughtering ordinary people..."
Upon hearing Harui's speculation, Mikazuki and Kaine also understood.
It seems that Dou Tang and his group failed to locate the enemies before the half-demons moved, and they didn't even expect so many to escape after the raid. Under these circumstances, Dou Tang had no choice but to expose the existence of the Fall Guys in exchange for Pu...
Safety for ordinary people.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, what's this? It looks interesting!"
Having just experienced a haunted house, Harui screamed and stomped her feet, jumping two steps to the side, almost throwing her phone away!
Huaiyin and Mikazuki were also startled, especially Mikazuki, who shrank her neck and nervously looked in the direction from which the sound came.
And the person who made the sound didn't seem quite normal either.
It was a strange person about the same height as Huaiyin, whose face was covered in white paint and who had a long red tongue sticking out of his lower lip.
She had long, jet-black hair, wore a white hat and a pure white robe, and looked quite Chinese. She was probably a tourist cosplaying as some kind of ghost or monster for Halloween.
She waved the object in her hand, which looked like a white feather duster, and said, "Sorry, did I scare you?"
Huaiyin patted his chest, exhaled, and said, "Indeed..."
"I'm so sorry..." The girl bowed her head and apologized readily. The paint on her face made it impossible to see her true appearance, but one could see a hint of apology. "I was just so surprised when I saw that video that I couldn't help but speak up... I'm really sorry for scaring you."
"No, it's okay." Harui waved her hand, then glanced at her phone and said, "This is a video on Twitter... You should be able to see it on Twitter now, it might go viral soon!"
"But it could also be deleted immediately," Huaiyin added.
Mikazuki tilted her head, looking at the strangely dressed girl with great confusion. She felt that something was wrong just now. Even if there was a lot of noise in the amusement park, was her hearing so weak that she couldn't hear anyone who came close?
The girl smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you. I'll take a look right away. By the way, do you know about Fall Guys?"
Harui shook her phone at her: "Ah, I know, that famous urban legend, and the protagonist of many paranormal videos, but I really didn't expect it to be true."
The girl seemed to agree, shaking the white stick in her hand and saying, "Yeah, yeah, I thought it was fake at first too, but it turned out to be real. I'd better go and see for myself."
The girl waved goodbye to Huaiyin and the others, saying, "Well then, the three of you, have fun tonight! It's Halloween, so enjoy it!"
Harui waved back, somewhat confused, while Huaiyin suddenly spoke up: "Excuse me, what... what are you playing?"
The girl paused, then smiled mysteriously and whispered, "This... is a kind of... costume for deities from my hometown."
"Look, isn't Halloween, the time Mexicans say is when ghosts return to the human world?"
“The deity I’m playing…” she waved the white stick in her hand, the bell at the top of the stick jingling clearly and melodiously.
For some reason, Huaiyin felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart suddenly turned cold, as if something wanted to tear open her chest and leave.
She quickly took two steps back, not caring whether the action would seem strange to others.
The mysterious girl in white continued, "She specializes in helping the souls of the dead find their way to the afterlife."
Chapter 110 An Unforgettable Night
After the girl in white finished speaking, she waved her hand and left alone.
As Huaiyin watched the girl in white walk away, he felt something was off; the girl in front of him gave him a strange sense of familiarity...
But she didn't speak in the end. The fear that revealing the truth would turn her life upside down made her unable to speak.
If it were really as she thought, then everything she currently possessed would seem to be in question... Huaiyin wasn't stupid, so she kept this thought to herself.
That girl just now... looks a lot like Xiao Yin, and a lot like Dou Tang's younger sister from her previous life.
Huaiyin was unable to speak.
The girl in white skipped and hopped away, and Huaiyin felt a sense of relief.
Mikazuki and Harui, standing to the side, were clearly unconcerned about this little incident, still watching the video on their phones, continuing to be astonished.
Huaiyin looked up at the sky.
What will Tokyo become after Tou Tang's uncharacteristically low-key night?
"call--"
Suddenly, a chaotic vortex swept through the air, and even Harui, an ordinary person, was blown off balance. The erratic gale descended from the sky and then quickly disappeared.
Huaiyin sniffed; she smelled a familiar sweet fragrance in the air.
Upon smelling the aroma, her eyes widened in surprise.
Sure enough, after the unpredictable gale subsided, Dou Tang emerged from a corner of the street, scratching the back of his head, looking somewhat troubled.
Huaiyin quickly went to greet him.
"elder brother!"
Dou Tang pressed his hand to his neck, turned his head, and was then embraced by Huai Yin. He took a half step back, then hugged her back and laughed.
Mikazuki's ears twitched, and he looked at Toudou thoughtfully, but said nothing.
Harui looked surprised: "What are you doing here? Where are Old Wolf and the others?"
Dou Tang patted Huaiyin on the back and said with a smile, "They've already started to evacuate, but I was worried about you, so I came here ahead of time to check on the situation."
He had already prepared his explanation, and raised his hand, saying, "After all, there are a lot of people in the amusement park."
"If a half-demon tries to take advantage of this opportunity, it will be disastrous."
Harui nodded, agreeing with his statement.
But Huaiyin and Mikazuki understood that he had just arrived... that sweet-smelling gust of wind was him descending.
Mikazuki asked, "Is everything settled over there?"
Dou Tang nodded, then glanced at Qingjing and said, "After all, with those strange jelly bean people involved, we don't need to worry."
He had barely finished speaking when his phone rang in his pocket.
Dou Tang picked up the phone and saw it was Lu Zizhen. After answering, her voice sounded anxious: "Hello? Where are you? I'm about to meet up with them. What do you mean by that?"
Dou Tang turned around, his back to the others, and repeated what he had just said to Qingjing to Lu Zizhen. Lu Zizhen was very clever and immediately understood what he meant, and hung up the phone.
He was at ease leaving the aftermath to Lu Zizhen.
He put his phone back in his pocket, turned around, looked at the three of them, and smiled, "Looks like you guys had a good time tonight?"
Harui nodded: "The amusement park is really fun for Halloween. Do you want to go... and play with your sister for a while?"
She pointed at Huaiyin, seemingly noticing Huaiyin's dependence on and affection for Doutang.
Mikazuki seemed to have his own ideas. He blinked and raised one eyebrow: "Hmm... yeah, do you want to go play with Kaine for a while?"
Her idea was probably to get Harui away first.
Dou Tang looked down at Huai Yin, whose clear eyes were full of expectation, and whose soft hands gripped Dou Tang's clothes tightly.
Dou Tang smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's Halloween, so I'll go play with Huaiyin for a while."
Mikazuki snapped his fingers, put his arm around Harui's shoulder, and said, "Then we're going to go somewhere else to have fun. Remember to call us when you leave!"
After saying that, she put her arm around Qingjing, and the two walked in another direction, leaving the space to Huaiyin and Doutang.
As soon as the two left, Huaiyin asked impatiently, "Brother, what were you thinking? Why did you do that kind of thing?"
"Which kind? You mean the Fall Guys thing?" Dou Tang patted her head.
Huaiyin placed her hand on Doutang's hand, gently stroking the skin, and nodded.
“There are many half-demons, so if I want to protect the innocent to the greatest extent, I have no choice but to send the Fall Guys,” Dou Tang explained.
“But, shouldn’t we go far beyond that? In fact… you yourself showed up like that, isn’t that going too far?” Huaiyin put his hand down and held his hands tightly together.
Dou Tang pulled her along as they walked through the amusement park. In the distance, the lights of the giant Ferris wheel and the castle pierced the night sky, and cheers and music filled their ears, creating a festive atmosphere.
Dou Tang explained, "Of course I could continue to hide the existence of Fall Guys, but the matter of Onmyoji Ling Ming made me realize that not all evil spirits would choose to participate in the Crown Game. Many evil spirits who possess Crowns are unaware of the existence of other Crowns."
"Therefore, I chose to show myself and reveal my existence to the world."
"Firstly, this will make people more convinced that evil spirits lurk around them, and their traces will be easier to find."
"Secondly, after seeing the Fall Guys appear, other Crown holders will definitely come after the Fall Guys. Even if they don't come, the subsequent commotion will stir up this mess, making it impossible for the evil spirits to hide safely anymore."
Huaiyin frowned and thought for a moment. Although she should only be in high school, she was far too precocious. Of course, she could understand these things, so she nodded.
"Okay... I believe you can handle the aftermath, brother."
Dou Tang hummed in agreement, then looked into the distance and said, "So, what should we do next? Should we go somewhere for fun?"
Huaiyin pointed to the Ferris wheel: "Brother, do you want to go ride the Ferris wheel?"
"I don't mind. If you want to go, then go ahead."
Huaiyin was overjoyed, and with a smile, she took Doutang's hand and ran forward.
The two walked through the crowd, where people were dressed in bizarre costumes with a strong Halloween vibe, all with smiles on their faces, greeting each other. Some people carried pumpkin lanterns sold at amusement parks, making them look like lantern boats floating in a river in the crowd.
All I could hear were cheers and chatter, along with music from the park—it was lively and festive.
Dou Tang watched Huaiyin's back. Her long, black hair swayed in the air, bouncing as she walked. The light outlined the contours of her body, making her back view dazzling and captivating.
