Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 324

Even Lu Zizhen, an exorcist, had a light spot that was several sizes smaller than hers.

The only light spot that could rival Tamamo-no-Mae was Dou Tang. In fact, Dou Tang's light spot was surrounded by a blurry black mist that spread outwards, thinly enveloping the building where Dou Tang was located and even extending far outwards.

Huaiyin could not determine the size of his light spot.

But those weren't things that Huaiyin cared about right now. She quickly memorized Tamamo-no-Mae's location, and then, with a thought, her consciousness returned to her body.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Zizhen by the bedside.

"I found her!"

Lu Zizhen looked pleasantly surprised and said, "So fast?"

She stood up and said as she walked out, "Set your location on your phone first, I'll go get them!"

Huaiyin threw back the covers, picked up her phone, hummed in agreement, and walked outside.

A few minutes later, everyone sprang into action, ready to go.

Chapter 232 Departure

The hotel where Tamamo-no-Mae is staying is located in Chuo-cho, Nikko City, right next to Imaichi Station. It is one of the few large hotels in Nikko City, and there is even a business dinner being held there tonight.

As luck would have it, this banquet was held because of Lu Zizhen's crazy spending spree in Sun City these past two days. The cultural and creative product manufacturers who received money from Lu Zizhen held a celebration banquet to celebrate the large investments they had recently received.

In just three days, Lu Zizhen burned tens of millions of yen.

Furthermore, tens of millions of orders subsequently poured into various units in Nikko City.

Even Nikko City, which relies on tourism for its revenue, rarely receives such a large investment that covers such a wide range of industries.

Upon hearing this news, Dou Tang suddenly realized that for people like him and Lu Zizhen who lived in the dark world, money was truly dispensable.

As long as one participates in exorcisms and cultivates a good relationship with the Association, this behemoth that transcends the secular order, money is never a problem for exorcists.

Even the lowest-level exorcists, who can only exorcise vengeful spirits, can still make money by performing exorcisms for ordinary people through various businesses.

Realizing this, Dou Tang suddenly felt that when he went out to exorcise demons with Lu Zizhen before... a lot of money probably ended up in Lu Zizhen's pocket!

What a wicked woman!

In order to successfully sneak into that upscale hotel, Lu Zizhen took out the suit she had ordered during the day.

There are enough for five people.

Even Lu Zizhen and Huaiyin chose suits. The two women dressed as men looked dashing in dark blue suits.

As for Dou Tang and his two companions, they all had good figures to begin with, and even though they were wearing ordinary suits that Lu Zizhen had bought from a brand store, they still looked very eye-catching.

Especially Lao Lang, perhaps it was Lao Lang's flamboyant personality that left a deep impression on Lu Zizhen. Lu Zizhen chose a dark red suit for him and a purple shimmering shirt.

In an instant, Lao Lang became the most dazzling guy in the nightclub!

Kotaro's suits are also quite exquisite, with a white suit paired with a bright red shirt, which is very eye-catching and adds a lot of elegance.

After all, light-colored outfits are also known as the color scheme of the wealthy.

As for Dou Tang...

Whether it was Lu Zizhen's intention to change his long-standing image of dark colors or not, this time Dou Tang chose a light gray striped suit with a very heavy fit, and the inner shirt was bright white, which highlighted his upright posture and made people's eyes involuntarily follow the lines to his face.

"You... really know how to pick clothes." Old Wolf looked at himself in the full-length mirror, quite satisfied.

"Consider this outfit a gift for you." Lu Zizhen adjusted Huaiyin's coat without turning her head. "Anyway, if a fight breaks out tonight, the clothes will probably be ruined."

"They're so rich and powerful," Kotaro clicked his tongue.

Dou Tang raised his arm slightly, feeling a little constrained, and said, "This coat is a bit tight."

Lu Zizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Does wearing a suit mean you have to worry about mobility? A suit-wearing thug should have that taut, muscular look!"

Dou Tang blinked. He didn't understand this thing at all. He had never had any concept of luxury goods or clothes.

In his view, if there were really no other options, it wouldn't be unacceptable for him to run wildly down the street in his underwear chasing after evil spirits.

He's...very masculine.

The five of them packed their things. Huaiyin slung her guitar bag over her shoulder, which contained her longsword and Doutang's longsword.

Upon arriving at the hotel parking lot, Lu Zizhen said, "At least one of us needs to take a taxi. What do you guys think?"

Old Wolf was quite sensible, pulling the light...

Taro then went to hail a taxi.

Dou Tang got into Lu Zizhen's car, fastened his seatbelt, and asked, "What identity do we use to enter that hotel?"

"Tonight, that hotel will be hosting a buffet party for people from all walks of life in Nikko City. The person in charge is a man surnamed Yamada, who is the president of the local chamber of commerce," Lu Zizhen said while fastening her seatbelt.

"The theme of this buffet is to discuss how to use the Tamamo-no-Mae concept to continue to promote Nikko City."

"Guess why they're holding this buffet?" she asked Dou Tang.

Dou Tang suddenly realized: "Because of our investment."

“Our identities tonight are Tokyo businessmen invited here. We can make up any identity we want.” Lu Zizhen popped a piece of chewing gum into her mouth and handed the box of chewing gum to Dou Tang.

Dou Tang shook his head.

She handed the box back to Huaiyin in the back seat, and continued, "So we don't need to think too much about it. Just getting into the hotel is enough. Didn't Huaiyin see that guy on the ninth floor?"

Huaiyin took the box and ate a piece of bubble gum.

“Once we’re inside, we’ll go straight to the ninth floor.” Lu Zizhen started the car. “We don’t need to worry about contacting those businessmen, and no fools will provoke us. Apart from using this identity to enter the hotel, we won’t have any dealings with those guys.”

Dou Tang gave a deep "hmm," and then said, "In that case, Old Wolf will probably be very disappointed, right?"

"Why?" Lu Zizhen asked, somewhat surprised.

"Before he left, he said he wanted to play dumb to take advantage of others." Dou Tang chuckled twice. "He said he wanted to wait until other businessmen came to insult him, then reveal our identities as investors and scare those fools to death."

Lu Zizhen slapped the steering wheel: "Damn it! I wanted to do that too!"

Huaiyin in the back seat kept laughing.

Lu Zizhen started the car, and the three of them drove towards their destination.

With the recent increase in tourists, Nikko City's nights have become lively, with most entertainment venues packed all night long, and people frequently seen on the streets holding up their phones or other recording devices, seemingly recording videos.

Lu Zizhen herself never expected that the craze sparked by her investment would grow so large.

As they approached their destination, the hotel came into Dou Tang's perception, and he frowned.

"Strange...why can't I find the crown?"

Lu Zizhen asked, "Isn't that guy Crown's target?"

Dou Tang looked at the hotel building not far away. The rooms on the west side of the hotel building all had huge viewing balconies, and some of the rooms were lit up at the moment.

Several rooms on the ninth floor were lit up, and the room that Huaiyin had seen earlier was also lit up, suggesting that Tamamo-no-Mae was still inside.

But... the reason she couldn't sense the demonic aura was because she was good at concealing herself and didn't realize what was going on with the crown.

Is she really not a Crown target?

Dou Tang frowned and said, "...I'm not sure."

“But even if she’s not Crown’s target, we still have to get in touch with her.”

Lu Zizhen nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car sped up, heading towards the hotel.

Chapter 233 An Encounter That Doesn't Belong to This World

The five people met at the hotel entrance and entered the hotel smoothly.

The waiter at the hotel entrance, seeing their attire, guessed they were there for a buffet and bowed slightly, saying, "Welcome! The buffet will be held in the large conference room on the second floor. The elevator in the lobby will take you directly there."

Lu Zizhen nodded.

The five people entered the lobby. The hotel looked quite old. The dome of the lobby rose all the way to the breakfast restaurant on the second floor. The decoration was rather retro, and the overall style was mainly gold and white, which was luxurious.

"Why do I feel like we're more like yakuza members?" Old Wolf loosened his tie a little.

Indeed, the others were alright, but Dou Tang's ferocity was ingrained in his bones. Even when he didn't say a word, he exuded an imposing aura of authority.

For a businessman, this sense of pressure is a bit too much.

The sense of pressure for business people lies in the feeling of control that comes from a combination of shrewdness and intelligence.

Dou Tang's temperament, on the other hand, was like that of a lazy, ferocious beast. Beneath the calm surface rippled an aura and killing intent that humans could not resist. His indifferent gaze made it seem as if he regarded everything in front of him as prey, scrutinizing whether it was necessary to hunt it.

This stark difference in temperament made the people accompanying Dou Tang appear to have an aura that was not to be trifled with.

“That’s right.” Lu Zizhen nodded. “The main problem is that one of our guys has been looking like he’s had a lot of grudges on his face since just now, like he had something going on with that Tamamo-no-Mae.”

Dou Tang rubbed his face: "Is it that obvious?"

"I didn't expect there really was something going on!" Lu Zizhen exclaimed in surprise. "When did you hook up with her? Tamamo-no-Mae only appeared recently, right? Did you secretly start a relationship with her and then abandon her behind everyone's back?"

Dou Tang hesitated, but feeling that whatever he said would be misinterpreted by Lu Zizhen, he simply sighed.

Lu Zizhen changed the subject and asked, "Should I give you some personal space?"

Dou Tang looked at her with some surprise.

"Look, if you really have something you can do all by yourself, we respect that," Lu Zizhen shrugged. "It's a good opportunity for us to go to the buffet for a late-night snack, and also keep an eye on the ordinary people. If you and Tamamo-no-Mae get into a fight, we can at least..."

To protect the surrounding crowd.

Dou Tang considered it for a moment and nodded, saying, "It's not impossible."

"Look! There's definitely something going on!" Lu Zizhen raised her hand again.

Dou Tang clenched his fists helplessly.

The five of them entered the elevator. Despite her words, Lu Zizhen still pressed the button for the second floor.

"Contact us anytime after you go up there." Lu Zizhen handed Dou Tang an in-ear headset.

Old Wolf exclaimed, "Wow, this feels just like a secret agent!"

Dou Tang took the earphone and put it in his ears, saying, "I'll leave my sword with you for now. I can't take it out now, or it will be caught on camera."

"Once you get to the buffet, try to take the initiative. We came out in a rush this time and didn't have any outside help."

"If I get into a fight with Tamamo-no-Mae, the evacuation of ordinary people will depend on you."

They arrived at the second floor. Lu Zizhen and the others stepped out of the elevator, and Huaiyin pulled Dou Tang's hand before following them out.

"Brother, be careful."

Dou Tang nodded and pressed the button for the ninth floor.

Inside the elevator, Dou Tang reminisced about everything that had happened between him and Tamamo-no-Mae.

From their first meeting, Tamamo-no-Mae was weaving lies to deceive Dou Tang. During their meeting in Shanghai, the newly arrived Tamamo-no-Mae presented herself as a kind-hearted yokai who longed to return home.

Dou Tang spared her life at that time, but soon he witnessed her unruly nature.

Tamamo-no-Mae, who roams the country, commits a series of murders. With her eccentric and violent personality, she does not allow ordinary people to offend her in the slightest. Even just glancing at her on the street can lead to her being killed.

Dou Tang fought her many times, but she always managed to escape. It was only after a half-month-long chase that he finally managed to get rid of this troublesome woman.

Now that we're in another world, do we have to solve this problem all over again?

They arrived at the ninth floor. Dou Tang stepped out of the elevator and faced the long, narrow corridor.

Before arriving, Dou Tang had already located Tamamo-no-Mae's room based on the hotel's exterior, and he headed towards it without hesitation.

Standing in front of the door, Dou Tang sniffed and opened his senses.

They gained nothing; they sensed neither demonic power nor the crown, which was extremely strange.

Did we just come up empty-handed?

Dou Tang knocked on the door in front of him.

"Who is it?" A mature female voice came from inside the room.

"Room service," Dou Tang said, reciting a prepared statement. "Recently, the number of tourists in Nikko City has increased, and our hotel needs to conduct a second registration for all guests. Could you please open the door for me?"

"Uh... okay, just a moment."

The sound of bare feet stomping on the ground came from behind the door. Then, the door opened slightly, revealing a security chain attached to the back.

A woman peered through the crack in the door and met Dou Tang's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, they both froze.
