Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 247

RT, I'm a bit busy today, I've been quite overwhelmed lately, so I probably won't have much time to update today. I'll just do a quick update.

The space bar on my keyboard is broken. Now, when I touch the keyboard hinge to type the space bar, it's ridiculous and extremely uncomfortable.

During the renovation, I discovered that the renovation team had switched my materials. They did this while my family member was sick and hospitalized and I was too busy to go to the site. Luckily, I managed to find some time to go and check yesterday, otherwise I would have been furious.

I've been busy the past couple of days, but I expect to resume updates in the next couple of days.

I've been quite busy these past few days because my father is in the hospital. He has another six-hour shift tomorrow.

After the surgery, things should return to normal in a short time, and updates will resume.

Actually, I felt a little guilty towards everyone, so I didn't dare to explain the situation. I originally planned to explain the reason for the two days of delay at the end of the chapter after resuming updates.

But in the middle of the night, Jiu Yue in the group chat gave me a long talk and I thought about it. It made sense. No matter what happened to me, being able to take the time to explain the situation to everyone at least proved that I didn't suddenly die.

So that's it. Updates will resume in the next two days. Thank you everyone.

Chapter 81 Takeda Red Leaves

Halloween is approaching.

The underground world of Urayasu City suddenly fell silent.

However, the internet is in turmoil.

The video of the truck crash is still circulating on underground websites and even being shared via Bluetooth between mobile phones. The shocking images, which are by no means special effects, have made many ordinary people realize that Tokyo has changed and that the evil spirits lurking in superstition and mythology are undoubtedly real.

Rumors spread like wildfire, filling the streets and alleys of Urayasu City, as well as companies and schools, with stories about the incident.

"Hey, I have the full video of the monster car accident, including the uncut 20 minutes. Do you want it?"

"Huh? What? Twenty minutes? How is that possible?"

"What are you guys talking about? Hey, a monster car accident?"

"I've heard about that too. My friend was shopping there at the time and witnessed it firsthand!"

"Are you kidding me? How could something like this be real? I think it's just like Fall Guys, relying on special effects to create suspense and attract fans, right?"

"But none of the videos about this on YouTube dare to claim they are original!"

"Do you think it could be a promotion for the game? Like Pokémon GO!"

Listening to the students' conversations in the corridor outside the office, Teacher Hongye became increasingly irritable and troubled.

Although the students are still skeptical, it is not a good solution if similar incidents are exposed in the future.

Those bastards...

The thought of those arrogant and reckless guys in the city center gave Takeda Koyo a headache.

Can't those guys be a little less troublesome, like my own Tanuki?

Come to think of it, that enormous transformation form is something no ordinary half-demon could possibly possess, right? Could it be... that some half-demon have already fully awakened their powers?

Just thinking about that massive water buffalo body, the powerful, bulging muscles beneath its black skin, and the overwhelming resentment gushing from its nostrils, made Takeda Koyo feel a wave of fear and inexplicable dread.

Although the location is far from here, it shows that the half-demons seem to have reached the point of no return, completely disregarding whether it will stir up public opinion, and are resorting to any means to eliminate their enemies.

This also means... it seems that the surrounding area is not safe anymore.

The incident at the stadium had instilled a strong sense of crisis in Momiji. What happened that day was definitely a fight between half-demons, and that girl named Ringo Kamisaki... never appeared again.

It's really strange; I have to be careful in everything I do now.

With only ten minutes left before class, Hongye sighed, thought for a moment, and then dialed Tanuki's number.

The call connected quickly, and Takeda Koyo said, "Tanuki, are you ready to leave Urayasu City? We have to go right away."

"Go? Go where?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Takeda Koyo's face turned deathly pale. She squinted and asked, "Who are you?! Where's Tanuki-suke?"

A faint, fox-like laugh came from the other end of the phone, followed by the person saying, "You mean that half-demon raccoon? Sorry, we're just watching to see how much longer he can... how much longer he can hold out without screaming! Hahahaha..."

Takeda Koyo's eyes widened instantly, she gritted her teeth, and her breathing became heavy.

A muffled groan came from the other end of the phone. Takeda Koyo recognized it as Tanuki's voice, but there was nothing she could do at that moment.

She slumped into her chair, fighting back tears, and looked around the empty office. "What...what do you want? We clearly had no intention of participating in the proxy war!"

"Now that things have come to this, you don't still think you can stay out of it, do you?" The half-demon on the other end of the phone continued to mock Takeda Koyo's naivety: "Think you can avoid the war by hiding in the suburbs? What a joke! Before the battle is completely decided, of course we'll eliminate you destabilizing factors first?"

"Hey human, you and this guy should be in a stable relationship, right? I don't think he has any intention of killing other half-demons, which means you can now easily leave him behind and return to a normal human life, right?"

Takeda Koyo pursed her lips and remained silent. Just as the half-demon on the other end of the phone had said, Tanuki had never killed any other half-demon, so there was no question of him awakening any power.

She could easily abandon Tanuki and leave on her own without any negative consequences.

But Takeda Kouyou understood the implication in his words and asked in return, "It seems that Tanuki and I are actually still useful to you, isn't that right?"

"Hmm?" The half-demon on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"You didn't need to say those things at all, but you were just trying to provoke me into Tanuki-suke."

"Emotions, you think you can make me stay?" Takeda Koyo sneered. "Such tricks are rather childish. You might as well explain clearly what you intend for me to do."

The half-demon on the other end of the phone seemed surprised by Takeda Koyo's firm stance, and after a long pause, replied, "It seems you're not as ordinary as I thought..."

"In that case, if you want to save Tanuki... then come join us. We need people right now."

Takeda Kouyou frowned and said, "Forming factions? Isn't it a bit late to recruit new half-demons into your organization at this time?"

"No, you have no idea what we are facing now, humanity."

"The proxy war is over, or rather, it has ended passively."

"Now we are certain that the Onmyoji who caused all this doesn't care about our lives or deaths, nor does he care whether we can become new beings who can freely switch between human and yokai."

"Now is the time for us to fight back, to let the source of all this, and those Kamen Riders who are hunting us... know our power."

Takeda Kouyou swallowed hard and asked, "What... exactly do you want to do?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was no longer calm, but became fierce and menacing.

"We want this city, and even the world... to remember us."

Just then, Takeda Koyo suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest. The talisman that Tanuki had given her was slowly heating up, just like when she saw the resentful energy trembling above the stadium that day.

She suddenly looked up and gazed outside the office. Through the frosted glass of the office door, she could vaguely see a figure.

The figure opened the door and looked at Takeda Koyo.

That person... was the strange girl named Huaiyin whom I had met before.

At this moment, a tall boy with handsome features and deep-set eyes arrived with the girl.

In Takeda Koyo's eyes, through the spell cast by Tanuki, who had once trained with an Onmyoji, she could clearly see that the boy with a slightly cold expression was as if he were in a distorted space, and the scenery around his body was slightly distorted, like the airflow stirred up by hot air above a campfire.

The boy turned his gaze to Takeda Koyo and then smiled. Although he seemed warm and approachable, he sent chills down her spine, as if a judge was coldly scrutinizing her from behind his deep eyes.

Chapter 82 I Can Still Find Happiness

Takeda Koyo quickly looked away, then said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Tell me how to contact you. Send me a text message. You absolutely cannot let Tanuki be harmed! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Ha... a fight to the death? You think you can... beep beep beep..."

Before the person on the other end could finish speaking, Takeda Koyo quickly hung up the phone and looked at the two people at the door. The two people understood the situation and locked the door behind them after entering, then walked towards Takeda Koyo.

Takeda Koyo grinned and said, "Miss Huaiyin, didn't Inspector Kamizen come with you today?"

Huaiyin smiled and shook her head. She walked up to Takeda Koyo, with a table's distance between them, and said, "Teacher Takeda, I'm sorry, I suddenly had some... urgent business that day, so I had to leave."

Is it really that straightforward...?

Takeda Koyo's eyes twitched, and she gave an awkward laugh, waving her hand and saying, "No, it's nothing. As a police officer, you must have many emergencies, right? We understand... So, is there anything else that Miss Kawana is here for? And who is this person beside you...?"

Dou Tang raised his hand slightly and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Takeda. My name is Edogawa, and I am a detective."

Edogawa, the detective... Are you kidding me?

At this point, Takeda Koyo was completely confused about the identities of the two people. They didn't seem like half-demon and even had official backgrounds, so what was their purpose in finding her?

"So, Detective Edogawa... and Miss Kaine, what brings you here today?"

Huaiyin looked up at Doutang. From that look, Wutian Hongye could tell that the relationship between the two in front of her was definitely not ordinary. Although she didn't know why they had come, their purpose was certainly not simple.

After receiving Dou Tang's nod of approval, Huai Yin turned to look at Wu Tian Hongye and said, "I just overheard you on the phone, it seems you encountered some problems? If you have any concerns, you can tell us."

Takeda Kouyou groaned and shook her head, saying, "No, it's nothing... just a personal matter."

Dou Tang stepped forward and said directly, "We just heard something about fighting to the death, so let's be frank, Professor Takeda... has he encountered some troublesome situation?"

Takeda Koyo directly moved to Bengbu. How can someone be so direct right from the start?

She laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying at all. Is there some misunderstanding...?"

Dou Tang, always straightforward, had already sensed the resentment emanating from Takeda Koyo, so he raised his hand and said, "The proxy war, you know about this, right?"

Takeda Koyo's awkward smile instantly froze into disbelief, and then she took a deep breath and asked, "Who...who are you people?"

"The person who will resolve this matter—in other words, you don't think that the fighting among the half-demons won't attract the attention of any powerful forces, do you?"

After his recent interactions with these half-demons, Dou Tang realized one thing: these half-demons and their...

The partner always likes to find room for maneuver amidst various threats, is indecisive, and will do anything to protect himself.

Therefore, the best way to communicate with them is to directly destroy all their escape routes, leaving them with nowhere to go.

Dou Tang took half a step forward, but that single step completely triggered the talisman paper that Tanuki had left for Takeda Koyo. These talisman papers, drawn by a half-demon and made from tree leaves, instantly became scorching hot, startling Takeda Koyo. She quickly pulled them out of her chest pocket.

The leaves burst into flames the moment they touched the air. Takeda Koyo was clearly startled and flung her hand away. The leaves flew through the air and burned, turning to ashes in an instant.

Dou Tang squinted and said, "A half-demon who can use spells is indeed not simple."

Seeing her life-saving means vanish instantly, Takeda Kouyou's face darkened, and she asked, "What...do you want to do?"

"It's simple. We're looking for those half-demons who still refuse to give up. Once we find them, your partner can be saved."

“I assure you, harmless half-demons deserve to live, while those who have harmed ordinary people will pay the price.”

Dou Tang spoke in a relaxed tone, as if being at odds with all the half-demons was nothing more than a topic of conversation over tea.

The sky was bright with the glow of dawn, and the sound of bells and students' footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Dou Tang took half a step back.

"Teacher Takeda, let's talk about this after your class. I'm very patient."

"But those guys probably won't have any, so you'd better make a decision quickly."

………………

After leaving the campus, Huaiyin asked curiously, "Brother, will this really work?"

At the same time, she thought to herself, if it were the old Dou Tang, she would probably arrest that teacher and intimidate him.

Without realizing it, Dou Tang seems to have become a little gentler...?

perhaps?

Dou Tang looked ahead and said, "It's useful. For someone like her, if her own power can't affect the existing environment, then she can only seek outside help. Compared to the half-demon who has already offended her, we are mysterious enough, powerful enough, and... well-intentioned enough."

He scratched his face: "But what I did just now couldn't be called well-intentioned either."

"In short, we just need to wait until school is over, or even before school is over, to get the answer."

Dou Tang looked up at the bustling city center in the distance, at the smooth glass facades of the towering buildings, and said, "Tomorrow night is Halloween. I think... if I were one of those half-demons, I would choose to act on Halloween."

He looked at Huaiyin again, his gaze warm and gentle: "Huaiyin, this time, I won't stop you, but I hope you can protect yourself, okay?"

Huaiyin raised her head to meet his gaze, her eyes shining with confidence and strength, bidding farewell to the timid girl she once was.

"Don't worry, brother... I'll be able to help."

She placed her hand on her waist and smiled, saying, "I am no longer the person I used to be."

"Similarly, brother, you should be prepared too." Her smile gradually took on a mischievous glint. "You understand my feelings, don't you?"

Dou Tang was slightly taken aback, then returned the smile.

"Of course I understand, and I look forward to that day."

"If you could kill me someday, that would be wonderful," he thought to himself.

Huaiyin suddenly lowered her head.

He really responded to me... Did I hear that right?
