Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

It was at the foot of the Mountain of Wraiths.

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang, who was not in the story, made no comment, but simply nodded. Sure enough, the area beneath the Mountain of Vengeful Spirits was related to this matter.

But... why do neither he nor Ejima Izai remember what happened back then?

Is what Ryuyuu Shinzen said true or false?

Then, Ryuichi Kamizen continued, "We met the soldier's vengeful spirit. He told us that he was suppressing the bone tengu there. I dug out the long sword that possessed him and moved it to the canteen."

"But that's not enough. We also need to recreate the previous seal. After all, I've already taken the ancient book that was originally used as a suppressing object in the foundation, so it can no longer be used as part of the suppression."

Dou Tang chimed in, "So the three of you tried to suppress that so-called Bone Tengu in the dry well? And then what happened? Why did Jiangdao Yizai die?"

Ryuuichi Shinzen gently stroked the scabbard before him and said sadly, "Back then, I was not mature enough and was too arrogant, which caused the formation to malfunction and the seal to become chaotic. It looked like the soul of the Bone Tengu was about to break free of the seal."

"According to the vengeful spirit of that soldier, if the bone tengu breaks free from the blockade, it will return to the dry well, which contains the remains of many people who jumped into the well during the bombing and had nowhere to escape but were trapped and died. If it possesses those remains, everything will be over."

"At the last moment, Yizai... he rushed forward."

"He carried the ancient book, rushed towards the vengeful spirit of the bone tengu, and then jumped into... the cement mixer with it."

"Everything about him is mixed with ancient books and the vengeful spirit of the bone tengu. The power of the ancient books sealed the vengeful spirit into his bones, preventing it from escaping, but his own soul... could not be released either."

Dou Tang was somewhat shocked and subconsciously said, "He sacrificed himself to seal that Bone Tengu?"

Although I knew that Ejima Iya was a kind-hearted person, hearing it from the person himself still made me realize that Ejima Iya was truly a good person.

After speaking, Ryuichi Shinzen remained silent for a while, then sighed.

"In order to prevent the vengeful spirit of the Bone Tengu from gathering again, I had no choice but to scatter his remains and bury them in various corners of the school, and to perform a spiritual ritual to appease him every month."

"However, last month's attempt to appease her failed. According to my daughter, a strange jelly bean stopped her and even tried to collect all the bones."

He continued to sigh, "I've been troubled by this lately and don't know what to do. To be honest, I'm not confident that I can seal Bone Tengu again. What's more, there might be a Bean Man secretly watching this."

Dou Tang scratched his face.

Ah, it seems there's been a slight misunderstanding...

Chapter 71 The Secret Practice of Huaiyin

Putting the misunderstanding aside for now, Dou Tang finally understood the truth of what happened twelve years ago. Although it was only Shen Qianlongyong's side of the story, at least he had a direction.

The Bone Tengu... a native monster of this world, similar to the Great God Ito, is hidden within the present-day Yiyan Private Academy.

He has even... become one with Ejima Izai.

This is truly the worst news imaginable.

No wonder Ejima Izai has such a good personality, yet he harbors immense resentment. It's very likely that the resentment doesn't belong to him at all, but rather to the Bones Tengu.

Is it a bone-tengu, a monster formed from the bones of a tengu?

After hearing the story, Dou Tang looked disappointed and said, "So... what do you plan to do now? Teacher Jiangdao has regained consciousness, but he doesn't remember anything from his life. What do you plan to do?"

“Before that,” Shenqian Longyong swallowed, looking at Dou Tang with some fear, “I need to know who you are first. If you… if you are not trustworthy, even if you kill me, I will not tell you how to break the seal!”

“I am his friend, and even his only friend now, it’s that simple.”

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" Ryuuichi Kamisaki frowned. "I'm referring to your power... Why can you use the power of evil spirits?!"

"This world is so big, there are so many things you don't know. If I had to say something... I have a special inheritance, it's that simple."

Dou Tang sheathed his short sword and said, "I understand what happened. Since you don't seem to intend to keep me for dinner any longer, let's leave it at that."

Ryuichi Shinzen looked at the two halves of the low table scattered on the ground, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to speak.

"Aren't you going to meet Ejima Izai?" Tou Tang asked.

Shenqian Longyong slowly lowered his head: "See you?"

"What good would it do to see him? To him, I should be considered an enemy. I personally sealed him away and buried his bones piece by piece into the wall."

How can I see him? What should I say or do? Is it really possible?

Cheng chuckled, rubbing his skull-like head, and said something like, "Oh, I remember this dent in your head. I used to laugh at you about it."

He shrugged: "I was his friend, but he's dead, because of my negligence. How can I dare to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Tang closed his eyes slightly, nodded silently, and said nothing more.

"I'll believe you for now, and you can believe me for now too. Also, if possible, I'll try to find a way to get Professor Jiangdao out of this predicament."

"I'll contact you again if there's any progress. I know your phone number."

Ryuuichi Kamiya gave a wry smile: "Really... You really are mysterious, and I don't even know your name."

"My name is Kiryu Todoroki, you can just call me Kiryu."

“Kiryu…” Ryuuichi Kanzen lowered his head in thought, then suddenly looked up: “You’re the one Ringo mentioned…”

I looked up, but there was no one in front of me.

The sound of a motorcycle engine came from outside the door.

After leaving the Shinsen family, Dou Tang had obtained new clues, but he was still completely confused.

If we want to find information about monsters, we should definitely look for the black cat, right?

Running around here and there, I'm never idle. Even things unrelated to the Crown have come my way. It feels like I haven't felt this voluntarily busy in a long time.

It seems I've become someone who likes to meddle in other people's business.

Oh well, it's fine too.

Dou Tang drove home feeling quite relaxed; he was going back to see the black cat Mikazuki.

Before Dou Tang even opened the door when he got home, he heard a constant clanging and banging sound coming from inside the house—the sound of someone moving around with weapons.

Dou Tang opened the door without hesitation and rushed inside.

Looking through the open doorway, he immediately spotted a dashing girl holding a long sword in the sunlight behind the curtains.

Effortless and decisive.

Huaiyin's hair was styled into a high ponytail, and sweat dripped down her neck, glistening in the sunlight.

She was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, her skin was as white as snow, but it was covered with a thin layer of sweat, making her look like she had just taken a shower.

Sweat streamed down her somewhat gaunt face, dripping onto her collarbone and continuing to flow down with her movements, soaking her shirt.

She held the sword in both hands, brandishing it in the air, yet she wielded it with swordsmanship, making the heavy samurai sword tremble awkwardly. Her hands were already shaking from long hours of practice, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Dou Tang felt a sharp pain in his temples. The girl in front of him, bathed in sunlight and sweat, seemed to overlap with a certain figure, and his heart kept palpitating.

He entered the house, panting heavily, and leaned against the wall for support.

"Little..." A certain name seemed about to slip out, but the throbbing pain in his temples made him quickly change his words: "Huai, Huaiyin?"

Hearing the call, Huaiyin looked towards the door, and was suddenly startled, dropping the long sword from her hand to the ground.

Dou Tang walked into the room and looked around. The tables and other furniture had been moved to the side to make room for practice, while the white door on the other side was open, and the supernatural items inside were quietly placed.

"Brother, brother, why are you back..." Huaiyin looked like he'd been caught doing something naughty, shrinking his neck. Doutang noticed that the long sword on the ground was the samurai sword that had possessed him at the foot of the Wraith Mountain. It seemed that this little guy wasn't afraid of the Wraith's haunting at all, but instead used it... for practice?

"You're practicing swordsmanship on your own?" Dou Tang laughed. "You won't learn anything by just randomly trying things out. How about I teach you?"

"Ah, myself? Hmm..." Huaiyin's face turned red. Dou Tang slowly approached her and sniffed her slightly. She immediately realized that the whole room was filled with her faint scent of girlish sweat, and quickly took two steps back.

"I... I found a tutorial online! So, so I didn't just learn it randomly, don't worry, brother! Besides... I'm just exercising!"

Seeing Huaiyin standing there shyly explaining, Dou Tang couldn't help but smile and nod: "Alright, if you want to learn, I won't object. It's better than sitting and playing games every day."

Seeing that Dou Tang was no longer asking questions, Huaiyin quickly picked up the long sword from the ground, then walked to the sofa and sheathed it, saying, "What about my brother? Didn't you say... you were going to leave home for a few days?"

"Hmm... I came back with some things to take care of. Where's Mikazuki?"

Huaiyin seemed afraid that Doutang would take the long sword away, so she put it in the corner of the sofa. Seeing that Doutang had no objection to her actions, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mikazuki-chan, it went out for a walk by itself."

"I don't know why, but it doesn't really like being led by a leash. I guess cats are animals with strong self-control after all?"

"Self-management ability, pfft..." Dou Tang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, I'll go out and look for it then. I need to take it to get a new vaccination."

Huaiyin nodded.

Chapter 72 A Chance Encounter with a Big Dog

“Right, right.” Huaiyin suddenly called out to Doutang: “Brother, your birthday is coming soon, right?”

Kiryu Tou-tang and Ren Tou-tang share the same birthday.

Dou Tang nodded: "Yes, three more days. What's wrong?"

"You..." Huaiyin blushed again, twisting her two index fingers together, and asked with courage, "Is there anything you want?"

"Although I don't have much money and can't buy you a lot of clothes like Sister Lu, I have saved up some pocket money."

"Uh, I don't know what..."

I can't help you much, and I don't know if you'll like it, but..."

She awkwardly clutched the hem of her clothes, and Dou Tang could sense that her emotions were definitely unusual. She wasn't as composed as she was with her family; instead, she had an emotion that was even more... embarrassing and something he had never experienced before.

"But I just want to give you a gift, whether you need it or not, whether you like it or not, I just want to... give you something, give you something, brother, is that hard to understand?"

Dou Tang hesitated for a moment, then patted her head.

"Okay, then buy whatever you think I like. That must be something I truly like."

Perhaps Dou Tang himself didn't realize how Huai Yin would interpret those words.

In short, her face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head without saying a word, her hands gripping the seam of her shorts tightly.

Dou Tang walked towards the door: "I've been out for the past two days, and I'm really looking forward to the surprise you'll give me."

"Ah, oh, okay!" Huaiyin sat on the sofa, sniffed, and looked at her expectantly.

Just as Dou Tang was about to leave, he suddenly felt that this was not a good thing, so he turned back and said, "I'm sorry, these past two days have been really important... I promise you, I will spend a lot of time with you when I get back."

Huaiyin grinned mischievously, "What?! Don't say things that sound like a flag!"

Dou Tang shrugged and closed the door.

After Dou Tang left, Huaiyin sat on the sofa and fanned herself with her small hands, feeling her face burning up.

"It sounds like what a husband in a TV drama would say to his wife's family when he's about to do something dangerous."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

………………

After leaving home, the person and the cat have a fixed meeting place outside the house, which is in the park.

Dou Tang glanced over and immediately saw Mikazuki, because... that black cat was fighting with a big dog.

There was a blonde, hot girl walking a dog, but she was too weak to hold it; the huge Labrador was no match for her.

Dou Tang sighed.

What's going on? Am I a magnet? How come I keep running into acquaintances everywhere?

The black cat darted and weaved between the bushes and open spaces, occasionally running up a tree and jumping down, its dog-walking skills were extremely proficient, clearly indicating it was a repeat offender.

This reminded Dou Tang of when he first saw it; the cat was carrying a fish and weaving through the crowd, and no one could catch it.

You're clearly a monster, yet you enjoy teasing dogs and stealing fish. Aren't you just following your instincts too much?!

Meanwhile, the big dog, panting and lolling its tongue out, happily chased Mikazuki around, clearly the same dog named Oatmeal from Ringo Shinzen.

The hot girl walking the dog is Chinatsu Kume.

Dou Tang checked the time and realized, sure enough, it was already afternoon, time for school to let out.

He stopped the car, walked into the park, looked up, and said, "Kume-kun!"

When Kume Chinatsu saw Toudou, she was clearly surprised and immediately tried to stop, but Oatmey was too strong and dragged her forward.

"Wang, wang!"

Oatmeal suddenly changed its target, kicking its legs hard, trying to rush towards Dou Tang.

Kume Chinatsu's hands ached from the tight rope, and she snapped it off.

"Kiryu-kun, watch out!"
