Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 363

"Damn it..." Dou Tang cursed, then lay back down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Damn it, let's fight another three hundred rounds!

Unfortunately, he never dreamed again.

………………

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Huaiyin yawned and woke up.

Outside the window, it was already bright.

After she got up, she sent the address of Tamamo-no-Mae that she had seen last night to Dou Tang.

Although she hardened her heart and didn't answer Dou Tang's call, she would still tell her brother as soon as she had the information about Tamamo-no-Mae.

After sending her location, she left the room and went to find Ringo Shinzen.

By this time, Ringo Shinzen had finished her morning exercise and taken a shower. After opening the door to let Huaiyin in, she said while drying her hair, "Huaiyin, what are our plans for today?"

“I already located Tamamo-no-Mae with my ability last night, so I don’t really have any plans for today.” Huaiyin plopped down on the bed and took out her phone. “But my brother is still in Nikko City, so I definitely can’t show my face. It would be bad if I ran into him on the street.”

"So, now you have to keep hiding from your brother?" Ringo Shinzen chimed in.

Huaiyin nodded and continued, "The greatest help I can give my brother in Nikko City is to accurately know Tamamo-no-Mae's location every night and send it to him, or let him communicate with Tamamo-no-Mae in his dreams."

"So, as long as I stay in Nikko City and don't get exposed, that's enough for me to play the biggest role."

"Hmm..." Ringo Shinzen put down the towel and started drying her long hair with a hairdryer. The hairdryer was a bit noisy, so she raised her voice a little: "Well, I'm going out today. The vengeful spirit on Kurizaki Tsukikoto's client is quite powerful. I'll go see if I can help."

"OK." Huaiyin, engrossed in her phone and reading various news articles about Tamamo-no-Mae, said without looking up, "Please be careful!"

"Don't worry, it's just a vengeful spirit." Ringo Shinzen dried her hair and started changing into the new clothes she bought last night. Although it was still a set of clothes that were easy to move in, at least it wasn't as eye-catching as sportswear or motorcycle clothes.

After saying goodbye to Ayane, Ringo Shinzen left her room and headed towards the travel agency run by Tsukiko Kurizaki.

………………

Tamamo-no-Mae stood by the window, taking a deep breath.

At this point, she already had faint dark circles under her eyes.

After waking up in a fright last night, the cautious woman did not choose to go back to sleep. Instead, she quickly fled the hotel and drove around the entire city of Nikko, eventually arriving in the opposite direction from the hotel she had stayed at.

What followed was a sleepless night. She stood by the window, cautiously watching the street outside, until several hours later when it was already dawn, before she could finally relax a little.

Ren Doutang probably didn't chase after them.

Recalling last night's dream, Tamamo-no-Mae felt a sense of absurdity. This was the second time she had entered the same dream as Tou-Tang, but last time in the dream, the two of them were in a very fair state, and there were no ordinary people in the dream.

But this time, not only was he once again in the same dream as Ren Doutang, but ordinary people without faces also appeared in the dream.

She tried to activate her abilities in her dream and succeeded. Just like in her previous life when she slaughtered so many people in front of Ren Doutang, in her dream she once again bewitched an entire square of people, causing them to kill each other.

Ren Doutang, enraged once again, unleashed a devastating force from his powerful body as he charged toward her with unparalleled ferocity, a sight she deeply missed.

But what happened next was beyond her expectations.

First, the steel frame collapsed, and then those steel frames floated up and became Dou Tang's stepping stones, allowing Dou Tang to get closer to him.

Then, a strange scene unfolded where steel frames crashed down like cannonballs. Not to mention, the longsword that emerged from nothingness flew into Ren Doutang's hand and became his weapon.

So...did I enter Ren Doutang's dream?

It is difficult to determine the identity of Tamamo-no-Mae.

But now that she was sure she was safe, she raised her hand and looked at her watch.

It seems the time for my appointment with Ninomiya Yuuki is approaching. After dinner last night, Kurizaki Tsukikoto said she wanted to call on the exorcist from last night, Shinzen Ringo, to help her again.

To expel vengeful spirits.

She sensed the vengeful spirit rooted in her body, which was being suppressed, and smiled.

Last night, although she didn't achieve her ultimate goal, she still managed to seduce Kurizaki Tsukikoto. While it wasn't the kind of seduction that completely controlled her, it still increased her favorability quite a bit.

Tamamo-no-Mae has become one of Kurizaki Tsukikoto's best friends in just one night.

She changed into the face that belonged to Yu Luoya and walked out of the room.

Chapter 310 Interrogation

While undercurrents continued to surge in Nikko City, far away in Tokyo, Ryuuichi Kamizen was receiving officials from the government.

Calling them regulators would be too polite; a more accurate term would be review.

Review the association's actions, issue instructions to the association, and hold them accountable for the current unrest in Nikko City.

Two black sedans had just driven into the Exorcist Association building, located on the south side of the Water Heaven Palace. Several men who looked like public officials got out of the cars, glanced around indifferently, and walked into the association building.

These people were arrogant and serious. Under the guidance of the host, they went upstairs and arrived at the conference room prepared by Shen Qianlongyong.

At this moment, only one person from the association, Ryuichi Shinzen, was in the meeting room.

Several officials casually pulled out chairs and sat down. There were five of them, but they exuded an aura as if they were the same person, staring intently at Ryuichi Shinzen in front of them.

Ryuyuu Shinzen sat directly opposite them; it didn't look like a meeting, but more like some kind of interrogation.

Logically, the association should have sent more people to negotiate with these individuals, but in order to ensure that the association's operations were not affected, Ryuuichi Shinzen decided to face the situation alone.

He nodded slightly and said, "Welcome to the association for your visit and guidance. However, I don't think you all want to say anything formal. It seems that formalities are not suitable for you."

“That’s right.” The man in the middle of the group opened the folder in front of him, looked down at it, and slightly raised his glasses.

The young man had narrow eyes and a cold face. Among the five, he vaguely exuded the aura of a leader. Shenqian Longyong immediately realized that the person in front of him was the main character today.

"Since Mr. Shinzen has gotten straight to the point, please allow us to begin. It's better for both of us to finish today's work as soon as possible."

His eyes, peering through his gleaming glasses, met those of Ryuichi Shinzen, his voice low and questioning.

"Does the association have any instances of using evil spirits to work for it?"

Ryuu Shinzen touched his hair, which he hadn't had time to dye and whose roots were already turning white.

Then, he chuckled and said, "I haven't asked your name yet?"

"My name is... Hayashida Mineki. You can call me whatever you like, Mr. Kamisaki." Hayashida nodded slightly. Although he appeared humble, his arrogance was undisguised.

"Then I shall call you Mr. Hayashida."

Ryuichi Shinzen leaned back in his chair, spreading his hands and said, "Mr. Hayashida should understand that human obsessions are terrifying, but humans are not the only life form capable of turning will into power."

"So, to exorcise evil spirits? Please, if that's the case, then all exorcists who are originally Onmyoji and can command shikigami meet your requirements."

Hayashida Mine's gaze gradually turned cold as he stared intently at Kamiya Ryuu, his thin lips parting again: "So, the Bone Tengu Ejima Iya, that powerful yokai capable of stirring up celestial phenomena, can also be considered a shikigami owned by the association?"

"The unusual storm that swept through the entire Bunkyo Ward the day before yesterday, and his fight with someone in a vehicle in full view of everyone, where he was stabbed through the chest with a long knife—are these circumstances also within the scope of the association's acceptance?"

The first time I put pressure on someone, the topic was such a difficult angle...

Ryuichi Kamiya sighed and said, "Please don't be so hostile, Mr. Hayashida. You should know better than me that Ejima Iya was fighting against the masterminds behind the various evil conflicts in Tokyo."

"The dozens of clashes between evil spirits that happened in Tokyo recently must have been orchestrated by a large organization. Ejima Iya got into the conflict while investigating this matter, which is quite normal." Kousaki Ryuuyu looked innocent. "You can't expect us to have absolutely no impact when we're fighting evil spirits, can you?"

"I don't think even the officials would necessarily do a better job."

The implication is.

We've already done this much work, what more do you want? Why don't you give it a try?

Lin Tianfeng shifted his gaze to the folder in front of him, and the only sound in the conference room was the rustling of pages turning.

After a moment, Hayashida Mineko slowly said, "Then, who can prove that Ejima Izai truly belongs to the Association and is completely loyal to it?"

Ryuichi Shinzen was deeply troubled.

They just keep finding fault in these ridiculous places...

Is Ejima Izai loyal to the association? Of course he is loyal to the association, because his friends are there, and he has the most trusted person in his life. Where else could he go but here?

Asking such a question is truly outrageous and utterly brainless. If Ejima Iya were present, what effect would such an investigation have other than making him resent the association?

We finally have a powerful demon on the association's side, do we really have to force him away to feel satisfied?

?

After muttering to himself for a while, Ryuichi Shinzen took a deep breath, reached under the table, and pulled out something he had prepared long ago.

It was a contract, and the signature at the bottom of the contract was Jiangdao Yizai, and there was even... a bone handprint.

"This is the contract that Ejima Iya signed with the association. Although he is dead in a social sense, the association is trying out an independent management system for monsters and vengeful spirits, and Ejima Iya is a participant in this system."

"He signed a three-year contract with the association, during which he will be a certified member of the association, regardless of whether he is a monster or not."

Ryuichi Shinzen placed the paper on the table, flicked it with his fingertips, and the contract flew out with a whoosh, floating to the front of Hideaki Hayashida.

Lin Tianfeng looked at the contract in front of him and snapped his fingers.

A person next to him took out a camera and took a picture of the contract in front of him. After taking the picture, he nodded to Lin Tianfeng.

Lin Tianfeng handed the contract back, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Shenqian. The official system regarding the management of evil spirits and vengeful spirits has been received. Whether this contract is valid or not is not up to me."

"Next, there's another item..."

Lin Tianfeng turned another page of the document.

"The exorcist codenamed 'Mr. Ren' is actually named Kiryu Toudou. How did he join the association?"

Shenqian Longyong immediately realized that this was the real show.

"According to our intelligence, he was involved in the incident involving the bone tengu Ejima Iya, and without joining the association, he attacked the association's martial arts exorcists, injuring several of them slightly."

"Furthermore, during the battle with Taira no Masakado, he repeatedly displayed power beyond that of an ordinary exorcist, and his manifestation could be described as a vengeful spirit. Why was such a person still safe and unreported in front of the association, which had not yet suffered any setbacks at the time?"

Chapter 311 Warning

After a moment of silence, Shenqian Longyong said, "Because he is a pure human being, there is no need for any guessing."

"Since the beginning of the new era, the abnormal beings have gradually become stronger, and even exorcists are no exception. It is not uncommon for ordinary people to suddenly develop powerful exorcism abilities one day."

"In the past year, the association's recruitment rate has been increasing. The number of new people joining the exorcism association in this year is more than the total number in the past ten years."

"And the frequency of vengeful spirits being born and cases occurring has more than doubled."

"Compared to these anomalies that have spread throughout Tokyo, Kiryu Todo's anomaly is nothing at all; in fact, his anomaly is not a big deal at all."

"Compared to Taira no Masakado's resurrection and Tamamo-no-Mae breaking the seal, these are utterly insignificant, aren't they?"

Lin Tianfeng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You should know that this kind of talk makes sense in theory, but it won't convince the authorities."

...?

Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Ryuuichi Shinzen feel that something was wrong.

This... doesn't seem like something you should be saying, does it?

Of course I know this won't fool the officials, but it's good to argue a little longer. The way you put it... it doesn't sound quite right, does it?

Why are you talking as if you're not one of the officials?

Seeing the doubt on Ryuuichi Shinzen's face, Hayashida Mineo gently adjusted his glasses with the heel of his hand and continued, "Mr. Shinzen, considering the Taira no Masakado incident, the subsequent Urayasu City incident, and now the Nikko City incident, which also involves Todo Kiryu, there is no doubt that Mr. Todo Kiryu is a truly trustworthy exorcist."

Shinzen Ryuyu's eyes lit up.

"Therefore, the root cause of all the previous irregularities should be attributed to Suiten Keizaburo, who manipulated the Exorcism Association and condoned the Urayasu City massacre."

It wasn't until this point that Ryuuichi Shinzen realized what these people had come for.

They appear to have come to the association to investigate and put pressure on it.

Actually... he came to mess with Shui Tian Jing Sanlang!

The authorities want to target Shui Tianjing Sanlang, which is why they sent people to the association to collect evidence, so that the association would be labeled as "providing evidence" and "reporting".

Then, the authorities will suppress Shui Tianjing Sanlang!

In this way, it would appear that the authorities acted solely because of the exorcism association's report, and that they would not have to bear any responsibility whatsoever.

Good heavens… Ryuuichi Kamiya exclaimed, “Good heavens!”

And for Ryuyuu Shinzen... this is great news!

Damn it, I've wanted Gan Shui Tianjing Sanlang for ages!

Ryuuichi Shinzen immediately smiled and slammed his hand on the table, saying, "That's absolutely right, Hayashida-sensei... Hayashida-san!"

"It was Shui Tianjing Sanlang's betrayal that turned the association into what it is today."

Lin Tianfeng revealed a sinister smile, his narrow eyes becoming even more slender and filled with indescribable malice.
