"Get away!" Lu Zijun shouted, pushing Yangping hard with his left hand while simultaneously slamming his right hand down towards Kuroki Keisaki's crown!
Kuroki Keisaki was clearly caught off guard by this turn of events. She hurriedly retreated, her cascading black hair flying up behind her, weaving a dense net that blocked Lu Zijun's attack.
Lu Zijun was about to attack again when Yang Ping rushed forward and blocked her way.
He stood in front of Lu Zijun and shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
Lu Zijun understood the broken Chinese, so he stopped, his surprised gaze shifting between Yangping and Kuroki Keisaki, before he lowered his head and quickly started typing.
Kuroki Keisaki, still shaken, patted her chest and said, "Yohei, what, what happened?"
Yang Ping, still holding his hand to block Lu Zijun, said慌张地, "I don't know either..."
Lu Zijun quickly finished typing and held up her phone: "Why are you stopping me? This thing is evil! It's a malevolent spirit that harms people!"
"No! That's not it!" Yangping quickly explained, "Sister Kuroki is a good person!"
Kuroki Keisaki slightly raised her hands, as if surrendering, to show that she meant no harm.
Lu Zijun became suspicious and uncertain.
Yangping replied using translation software: "Kuroki-nee is a good person I've known for a long time, definitely not a bad person. There must be some misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zijun's expression turned hostile, and he replied, "She clearly has a strong aura of resentment about her. She is a real evil spirit who has killed people, and quite a few at that!"
Upon hearing this, Yangping turned around in shock and looked at Kuroki Keisaki.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Kuroki Keisaki sighed, took two steps back, and said, "Let's go inside and talk. It's time to tell you, Yohei."
Yang Ping wanted to follow Lu Zijun into the house, but Lu Zijun blocked his way from behind. Lu Zijun protected Yang Ping behind her before slowly walking into the house, holding the long mace tightly in her hand.
After the two entered the house, Kuroki Keizaki sat on the sofa, while Ryūko-kun kept protecting Yōhei on guard.
Seeing that they didn't intend to sit down, Kuroki Keisaki didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and began to tell her story, of course, only the part about revenge, omitting the part about the crown.
Chapter 189 Sigh, so arrogant!
After hearing about Kuroki Keisaki's experience, Yohei took a deep breath, seemingly quite shocked.
Lu Zijun, standing to the side, remained silent with a solemn expression, seemingly still somewhat hesitant.
She then typed on her phone: "No matter what, you killed someone..."
Kuroki Keisaki smiled but remained silent.
But no matter what, Lu Zijun couldn't bring herself to blame Kuroki Keizai for anything. In fact, the gentle temperament that Kuroki Keizai exuded made it difficult for her to say those hurtful words.
Then she seemed to start to feel inexplicably annoyed, and crossed her arms without saying a word.
Yangping then mustered his courage and said, "Sister Kuroki, no matter what, I...I think you're a good person."
Kuroki Keisaki patted Yohei's head happily: "Thank you."
Yangping hummed in agreement, then looked at Lu Zijun, and then at Kuroki Keisaki, saying, "Kuroki-nee, there's actually one more thing today."
"Ok?"
"Lu Zi-kun came to Tokyo to find her sister... She said her sister is a very dangerous person and has connections to evil spirits, so I thought of you..."
"I don't know what Kiryu-nii has been busy with these past few days, and I don't dare to disturb him suddenly, so I thought I'd ask Kuroki-nee for help."
Kuroki Keisaki looked at him, seemingly incredulous, and said, "Don't you know what Kiryu-kun has been up to lately?"
"He... single-handedly destroyed the headless dog's party, and apparently also beat up that fake Kiryu Toudou."
Yang Ping was stunned, his face filled with disbelief: "Huh? What?!"
Lu Zijun had no interest in this topic and didn't understand much of it; her eyes were already fixed on the snacks on the table.
Kuroki Keisaki glanced at her, and after noticing her, pushed the snacks on the table in front of Lu Zijun. Lu Zijun looked up and met her gaze. She gave her a friendly smile and then continued chatting with Yangping.
Yang Ping has been keeping his men in check these past two days and hasn't had time to gather information about the headless dog, waiting for news from Dou Tang.
But to his utter surprise, Dou Tang went to find the headless dog himself.
In this respect, Kuroki Keisaki was actually more well-informed. She knew many of the women still active in Ikebukuro's social circles, and those people had far more information than a bunch of bald guys wandering the streets.
From those sisters, Kuroki Keisaki learned that at the recent Headless Dogs gathering, Toudou had come alone and defeated the fake Kiryu Toudou in front of all the Headless Dogs members.
Later, during the siege, he injured more than a dozen people and hospitalized them. The famous martial arts brothers of the Headless Dog were also beaten up by him. Among them, Eight Eyes Heart even pulled out a knife, but was still defeated by Dou Tang in one move.
Although the other sisters found it unbelievable and dismissed the stories of defeating someone in one move as mere rumors, Kuroki Keizaki knew that this was nothing more than a minor incident for Toudou.
Ultimately, Dou Tang is not on the same level as ordinary people.
Of course, Yang Ping, who had experienced the incident of the headless maneuver, also knew that it was not Dou Tang's limit at all. The reason he was surprised was that Dou Tang did not tell him about this at all.
This was somewhat frustrating for Yangping.
Yangping sighed, stroking the candy pendant that Doutang had given each of them around his neck, and said helplessly, "Tongsheng-nii didn't even invite us to do something like this... Is he afraid we'll hold him back?"
Kuroki Keisaki shook her head in protest: "How could that be? He just doesn't want you to get hurt."
He solves problems directly and straightforwardly.
It's been going on for more than just a day or two. They must have been thinking, 'If I just rush over and beat them all up, they'll scatter on their own,' and then they rushed in and beat them up."
Yang Ping instinctively wanted to refute, after all, in his mind, Dou Tang was not as irritable as Kuroki Keisaki said; he sounded like a violent maniac.
But then he frowned and thought back to that night half a year ago when he was still on Ghost Island, and the things he had experienced with Dou Tang afterwards.
The words of rebuttal stuck in my throat, but were brutally beaten by my conscience that refused to lie, so I swallowed them down in shame.
...Yes, Dou Tang is indeed that kind of person. In his mind, anything that can be resolved by A is not a problem.
Although he wouldn't call himself a reckless brute, he certainly liked to do things using a reckless mindset.
Having figured this out, Yangping covered his face.
My older brother is indeed a reckless brute.
Yangping lowered his hand, then looked at Kuroki Keisaki and said, "Kuroki-nee, about finding that person..."
Keisaki Kuroki nodded: "Of course, no problem, I will do my best."
Yang Ping turned to look at Lu Zijun, wanting to ask her what her sister's name was.
But as soon as he turned around, he froze.
At this moment, Lu Zijun was frantically spinning around with a bag of potato chips in his hand, his mouth stuffed full, staring at Yang Ping with wide eyes, like a squirrel caught stealing food.
Before Kuroki Keisaki could turn her head, she gulped down everything in her mouth, wiped her mouth clean with lightning speed, and continued to look at Kuroki Keisaki with an unhappy expression.
Yangping hissed.
You just had lunch an hour ago, and you're already hungry?
Yangping coughed twice and said, "Um... Sister Kuroki, please wait a moment."
He used translation software to communicate with Lu Zijun: "Could you tell Sister Heimu your sister's name? Ask her to help you find someone. She has a wide network of connections and might be able to help you."
Lu Zijun shook his head without hesitation and refused: "Impossible..."
“I’m not killing her because she didn’t actually do anything wrong, and also because of you. You’re letting an evil spirit help me find someone… even if it’s well-intentioned, I can’t agree to that.”
Lu Zijun looked helpless: "This is a matter of principle!"
What a stubborn person… Yangping covered his face in anguish.
Seeing this, Kuroki Keisaki didn't say anything, but instead beckoned Yohei to come closer.
As Yangping drew closer, Kuroki Keisaki whispered, "Yohei, why don't you just find out his name later and secretly tell me?"
"Yes..." Yangping suddenly realized.
Why don't I just secretly investigate for her? Once I find out, I'll find a way to tell her. What's the big deal?
Why didn't I think of that just now...?
...Am I an idiot?
Seeing that Lu Zijun was so insistent, Yangping had no choice but to give up. The two chatted with Kuroki Keisaki for a while longer. However, the efficiency of the translation software was too low, and Lu Zijun still seemed to have a lot of prejudice against Kuroki Keisaki. So, after a while, the two got up and said goodbye.
After leaving Kuroki Keisaki's house, Yohei said dejectedly, "I swear to you, Kuroki-nee is really a very good person..."
"Perhaps," Lu Zijun said noncommittally.
“…Stay outside with me for a while longer, and I’ll tell you about her.” Lu Zijun touched her chin somewhat shyly, her pretty face visibly flushed. “And…I’ll tell you about my sister, since you’ll tell her when you get back, right?”
Yangping clapped his hands, suddenly realizing something again.
Sigh, so arrogant!
Chapter 190 A Friend Comes to the Door
In the evening, Dou Tang was greeted by two unexpected friends.
Kotaro and Lao Lang.
When Dou Tang opened the door and saw the two people, his first instinct was to close it.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to close the door." Old Wolf quickly stuck his leg in, blocking the doorway. "Don't you even invite us in for a chat when we meet old friends?"
Kotaro smiled shyly.
The two of them look much more energetic than before.
Old Wolf was dressed in a casual suit, and his permed, shoulder-length wavy hair made him look very fashionable.
Kotaro, on the other hand, wore glasses, a casual sweater, and a thick, pure white down jacket, looking quite refined.
Dou Tang opened the door wide to welcome the two, and asked, "How did you know I lived here?"
"Mikazuki said so." Old Wolf waved the gift in his hand: "We came to Tokyo for a visit these past few days, so we thought we'd drop by to see you! Look, we brought some fine Wagyu beef!"
Kotaro also handed over a bag: "I bought matsutake mushrooms."
As Dou Tang led the two into the house, he asked, "Why are there only two of you? Where's Qingjing?"
“She’s still in Pu’an City, she’s still in school, okay?” Old Wolf waved his hand: “Unlike you and Huaiyin, two dropouts and delinquents.”
Dou Tang laughed and retorted, "I don't know who would be so old as to date a high school girl and deceive a minor."
"She's already eighteen!!" Old Wolf retorted.
“But in Japan, you’re considered an adult at twenty.” Kotaro pushed up his glasses and gave the middle finger.
Old Wolf was speechless.
Huaiyin, who was watching TV on the sofa, looked up and said, "Let's call the police. I've wanted to do this for a long time."
"No!" Old Wolf hurriedly waved his hand.
Seeing his foolish pleading look, Huaiyin chuckled, while Doutang said, "Let's find a place to sit first. I'll put the food in the refrigerator. Shall we eat here tonight?"
"It's not that it's not true"
"Okay." Old Wolf is a typical opportunist.
Kotaro patted his head and said, "We've settled in Tokyo recently, so we're fine with evenings. By the way, where are Miss Lu and Mr. Jiangdao?"
"Mr. Jiangdao is enjoying his quiet life at school. Lu Zizhen is busy with her pre-Chinese New Year assignments; she's probably preparing for her photographer certification exam," Dou Tang said as he unpacked the Wagyu beef.
"Isn't Mr. Ejima a skeleton? How come he's still at school?" Kotaro asked curiously.
Just as Dou Tang was about to speak, Old Wolf suddenly shouted from the side, "I'm going to use my super move! Old Man Ring!"
Dou Tang turned his head and saw that Lao Lang had already moved closer to Huai Yin, staring at the TV: "So awesome!"
As a result of his roar, Huaiyin made a mistake and was killed by a golden cavalryman riding a golden horse.
The bright red "YOU DIED" appeared on the screen.
Huaiyin's gaze was murderous as she stared intently at the old wolf.
Old Wolf immediately rolled off the sofa and moved closer to the kitchen: "I'll help you cook, I'll help you cook..."
"Don't go!" Huaiyin shouted, waving the controller in his hand: "Get past this big tree guard! You can play now!"
Kotaro shoved Old Wolf, saying, "Didn't you say you were really good at this? Go help her get through!"
The old wolf returned to the sofa helplessly.
Kotaro took off his down jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Kiryu-kun, let me help you."
"Hmm." Dou Tang silently made room for her.
If we're talking about Dou Tang's closest friends right now, besides Lu Zizhen and Jiangdao Yizai, it would probably be Lao Lang and Guang Taro.
