Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 175

Mao Liang let out a long breath and said, "I hope I didn't bet on the wrong person, Mr. Ren. If you lose, I'm afraid I'll be devoured alive by Ping Jiangmen."

Dou Tang's expression remained indifferent as he said, "Since you chose me, you should have some faith in me, although I still don't understand what made you switch sides at the last minute."

Mao Liang gave him a deep look, then said, "How many people still know you're Fall Guys?"

Dou Tang sensed the hidden meaning in her words and narrowed his eyes, asking in return, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing." Mao Liang chuckled, straightened up, put the lid on the pottery jar, and said, "As for why I'm joining you, just think I find the new era more interesting."

"Taira no Masakado is a guy who doesn't understand the situation. He thinks that even if he uses methods that harm the majority of people, he won't be retaliated against as long as he has complete control of Tokyo."

"But now it seems that you are the revenge he provoked. Taira no Masakado, who has been asleep for too long, still carries the thoughts of the Heian period. He failed that time, and he will fail again this time."

Dou Tang nodded, then asked, "Will you come to my battle with Taira no Masakado?"

Mao Liang looked on incredulously: "Hey, hey, hey, you can't be serious, you man! You want me to betray you and then watch you fight with my former boss? Where am I supposed to put my face?!"

Dou Tang scratched his face, completely oblivious: "Fine, don't go then."

After saying that, Dou Tang stretched out his hand: "Hand it over."

Mao Liang understood what he meant and thought to himself that he couldn't escape this time after all, and sighed.

The light above her head coalesced, transforming into a crown that shone with golden radiance.

The main body of the crown depicts ancient streets and alleys, with cats walking among them, swaying their somewhat illusory multiple tails, while the raised tips of the crown transform into sharp blades.

Dou Tang examined the crown and a realization dawned on him.

The ancient streets and alleys and the black cat are probably the inherent impressions of Maolang as a monster. For these monsters who are inherently evil, humans alone are not enough to represent spirituality. The ancient streets and alleys are not only inhabited by humans, but also by various evil spirits.

In addition, the outdated idea that cats are spiritual beings, based on traditional beliefs, constitutes this crown, which is purely based on preconceived notions and has misled Dou Tang.

Maolang lowered his head slightly, removed the crown from his head, and handed it to Doutang with one hand.

The crown seemed almost tangible in her hands, radiating brilliant light.

Dou Tang took the crown, and it instantly transformed into a stream of light, merging into his body. A hint of disappointment flashed in Mao Liang's eyes; she had originally wanted to take this opportunity to see what the fusion of crowns looked like.

Chapter 94 The Psychic Crown

【The Crown of Spirits】

[Once upon a time, there was a young girl who devoted herself to martial arts, supporting the dojo with her own strength. In the end, she collapsed on the road to revitalizing the dojo. At that moment, a tear welled up from her hard-to-swallow food, a mixture of grains. At that moment, the girl transformed into a demon who lived on because of her belief.]

[Spiritually complete]

As a spiritually fulfilled being, you possess inherent affinity and completeness. All things have a spirit, and all spirits manifest themselves through your calling. You will gain the power to communicate with and command all things.

Complete in spirit...

Dou Tang pondered the word carefully, feeling somewhat emotional.

It seems I inherently possess a similar ability, the capacity to communicate with beings filled with resentment. For instance, when I first met Ejima Iya, he nearly lost control due to reminiscing about the past, and I spoke to him in a threatening tone, pulling him back to his senses.

At first, Dou Tang thought it was an unexpected result of his unconventional approach, but judging from his ability to communicate with the objects in the white room that still carried resentment but had not yet generated vengeful spirits, this power was far more than that.

With the integration of [spiritual completeness], Dou Tang suddenly felt that his sense of communication seemed to be more... complete.

Perhaps it's just psychological.

At this point, Dou Tang has already won six crowns.

Intimidation, immense strength, roar, chariot, purification, spiritual communication.

The improvement brought to Dou Tang by the six abilities was obvious, and it made him feel more and more that he was becoming...perfect.

The glint in Dou Tang's eyes gradually faded. He let out a long breath, and Mao Liang suddenly noticed that the candlesticks around him began to move without wind, and even some of the weapons on the weapon racks began to tremble slightly and make a soft hum.

As the former owner of the Psychic Crown, she knew very well that it was the Psychic Crown's power.

Dou Tang composed himself and looked at Mao Liang, saying, "Then, Mao Liang, from today onwards, we are partners."

"I can help you solve your problems, but you also have to follow my rules, it's that simple."

Mao Liang nodded helplessly: "Ah, I am inferior in skill, so I admit defeat. It doesn't matter."

Dou Tang nodded, then turned and left without stopping.

Mao Liang quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, are you leaving after taking the things?"

Dou Tang looked at the moon outside and said, "It's late, let's go back to sleep."

Mao Liang was speechless, clutching Dou Tang's sleeve tightly.

Dou Tang frowned and turned his head, asking, "What? Is there something else?"

Mao Liang suddenly became a little hesitant. She pointed to the naginata not far away and said, "Fight me again, the kind that only relies on martial arts."

Dou Tang's face darkened: "You like to be beaten? Are you a masochist?"

"This is called friendly sparring..."

However, Dou Tang eventually agreed to Mao Liang's request. After all... apart from his obsession with martial arts, this monster really didn't seem to pose any threat. He was so obedient that Dou Tang felt a little embarrassed.

Most importantly... Mao Liang has a straightforward personality, and it's very comfortable to deal with someone as direct as Dou Tang.

Of course, he might not trust Mao Liang as much as he would a stranger he met on the street, and Dou Tang remained vigilant about this.

Today, Mao Liang can lose to herself, but another day, she might lose to someone else.

The pure white moonlight spilled into the courtyard and spread into the temple, making up for some of the lack of candlelight.

The two clashed again. Dou Tang held his sword in one hand, and his sword moves were more varied than before. His sword moved like a swimming dragon, intertwining with the naginata, which resembled a long snake.

As the metal clanged, Dou Tang felt increasingly exhilarated.

Mao Liang, on the other hand, increasingly felt the "incompleteness" in Dou Tang's sword moves.

The dazzling display of sparks and crimson light continued until late into the night.

………………

The next day, Ringo Kami secretly went to Edogawa Ward and found where Ryuuichi Kami lived.

She didn't tell Ryuichi Shinzen, but secretly came to the vicinity of Shinkawa.

Some exorcists on lookout spotted her, but none of them chose to tell Ryuuichi Kousaki or stop Ringo Kousaki. They simply assumed that Ringo Kousaki had come to find her father.

But in reality, Ringo Shinzen had other plans.

The exorcists bought up all the detached houses near Shinkawa, and Ryuuichi Kousaki was living with another exorcist at the time. When Ringo Kousaki arrived, Ryuuichi Kousaki was not there.

The other exorcist who lived with her, who had also seen Ringo before, smiled and said after seeing her at the door, "Ringo, little girl, are you here to see your father?"

Ringo Shinzen smiled sweetly and said, "Ah, Uncle, yes, he's not here right now, is he?"

"Hmm." The exorcist nodded. "He went to eat. Why don't you wait for him?"

"No need, no need." Ringo Shinzen quickly waved her hand: "I just came to pick up something, I'll be leaving in a bit."

Having made up an excuse to fool the exorcist uncle who was keeping watch, Ringo Shinzen ran upstairs and into Ryuu Shinzen's room. Although she had never been here before, she knew her father very well.

After searching the room thoroughly, Ringo Kousaki finally found the intelligence that Ryuuichi Kousaki had collected, including the structural diagram of the Shinkawa sewage treatment plant provided by the authorities. These would play an important role in the final battle to defeat Taira no Masakado.

Without any hesitation, Ringo Shinzen pulled out her phone and snapped a bunch of photos, capturing most of the information, before hurriedly leaving.

After leaving Edogawa Ward with the intelligence, Ringo Kami-saki sat on the train back home. Only after confirming that her father should be back by now and hadn't called her did she breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that what she had done hadn't been exposed.

After confirming this, she quickly called Huaiyin and said, "Sister Huaiyin, I've got the information."

Huaiyin also said in a deep voice like that of a spy movie: "Well done, Agent Apple, hurry back, the decisive moment is approaching!"

After reaching an agreement that day, the two quickly devised a plan: if Dou Tang intended to fight Ping Jiangmen one-on-one, then they would try to secretly add some surprises to Ping Jiangmen's base camp while Dou Tang was fighting Ping Jiangmen.

Therefore, a map of the Xinchuan Wastewater Treatment Plant is necessary.

.

When Ringo Shinzen arrived at Kiryu's house, the two girls knelt on the table and studied the map on their phones. They would occasionally take notes with pen and paper, and when they saw parts of the map that they didn't understand, they would even take out their phones to look them up, giving off a research-like vibe.

“Look here…” Huaiyin pointed to a narrow line on the phone: “This is the return outlet of the water purification pipe. There should be a maintenance passage, which means that people can walk through it.”

"And it's a clean water pipe, so there won't be any odor, it won't smell bad, um... it won't affect our subsequent operations."

After all, if two girls want to stand out in this matter, they can't exactly carry around the stench of sewer pipes, can they?

"The night my brother fought Taira no Masakado!" Huaiyin pressed her finger on the map, her tone resolute: "We'll infiltrate from here! We'll create chaos from within!"

Chapter 95 A Devious and Hidden Scheme

Dou Tang, holding his unsheathed sword and bathed in the cold moonlight, returned to his residence.

Lying in bed, he sensed that the two crowns were located in a sewage treatment plant separated by a river, which made him extremely eager to possess them.

Wheel Nyūdō should also be a crown holder.

Taira no Masakado was indeed a man who knew how to win over forces. He had three demons with crowns under his command, but by now, two of them had already been taken away by Toudou.

Dou Tang let out a long breath, his heart churning with excitement.

How much does Taira no Masakado actually know about Crown Gaming? He probably doesn't know more than I do, but undeniably, from his perspective, the Crown Gaming we see might be very different from what I do.

Obtaining the crown equals obtaining power. In the constant weighing and fighting, you reach the end and challenge... the BOSS?

But Ruang has already proven that evil spirits can sever their connection with the crown on their own. In this game, will someone voluntarily give up the crown?

Dou Tang gritted his teeth and shook his head, forcing himself not to think so deeply.

The deeper you think, the deeper you get caught up in it.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep, with the sword standing upright beside him, shielded by his arm, as if he felt no sense of security whatsoever.

………………

Just after Tou-tang left the Zhi-xin-ying-liu dojo, the Onmyoji Rai-ben visited Mo-lang again.

He was dressed in a white suit today, like a bright ghost, and slowly walked towards the dojo, carefully smelling the rusty scent in the air along the way, with a smile on his face.

He arrived at the temple, opened the pristine white paper door, and was met with a stench of blood.

The ground was covered in blood, which seeped and flowed through the cracks in the wooden planks, penetrating deep into the wood.

In the center of the field lay several corpses of Mao Liang. In the end, Mao Liang didn't even have time to change his clothes, and his naked bodies were covered with sword marks.

But Molang seemed extremely happy, sitting on the ground leaning against his naginata, wearing a large haori, his face gleaming with a wild and unrestrained laugh.

The Onmyoji Raimoto didn't care about her exposed and beautiful figure at this moment, and instead laughed and said, "I really didn't expect your battle with him to be so intense."

Mao Liang looked up at him and sneered, "No, combat is not like that; this is the result of friendly sparring."

The Onmyoji Laiben was somewhat puzzled. He pointed to the corpses on the ground and asked, "This is... a friendly spar?"

Mao Liang looked around at the corpses, laughed heartily, and even lay down, spreading his body out in a starfish shape, saying, "You don't understand, Onmyoji, you don't understand what a martial artist is."

"What else can a martial artist do besides pursuing the ultimate in martial arts, given that he has an immortal body? Seeing such an existence, I am truly overwhelmed with emotion."

Onmyoji Raimoto covered his mouth with a folding fan to mask the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air, and then said, "So... what's the matter?"

“I gave him my crown.” Mao Liang waved his hand.

Onmyoji Laiben nodded, a hint of joy on his face, and said, "In that case, his battle with Taira no Masakado will be quite a spectacle."

"By the way, Sugawara no Michizane has arrived in Tokyo and said he'll visit Taira no Masakado tomorrow. Do you think anything might happen to them?"

The Onmyoji Laiben paced back and forth in the pool of blood, his leather shoes making a clattering sound on the floor.

Looking at the wooden dome in the darkness, Mao Liang said meaningfully, "Whatever happens is just between them, and I am more concerned about his affairs now."

The Onmyoji, Laiben, knew who she was referring to and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Mao Liang gave a long "hmm," and after thinking for a long time, said, "I don't know."

Onmyoji Laiben immediately chuckled: "Don't know? Then what are you talking about?"

"Perhaps I'll understand when this battle is over."

After saying this, Maolang leaped up from the ground and stood still. Holding the naginata, he looked at the Onmyoji Laiben and said, "Kuye-san, although I don't know what your specific thoughts are about him, I still advise you that if he finds out about you, you will surely die, given what you have done before."

Leben chuckled, fanning himself with a folding fan. "Of course I understand."

He looked at the corpses on the ground again and said, "Tonight, seeing that you got things done and had so much fun, I'm relieved. Thank you for your hard work."

"By the way, now that he has won against you, please help me cover it up a bit and don't let him find out that I arranged all of this."

Mao Liang scoffed at this, saying, "It's my own fault for sparring with him."

As for his own thoughts, and you... well, maybe he doesn't even care about someone like you.
