Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 17

Then, he placed the skull between his hands.

"I'm sorry, but if you have any complaints, please come to me."

Are you taking advantage of the fact that you can't beat someone?

This is blasphemy against the dead, but Dou Tang is completely unaware of it.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The skull of the unknown person was slowly crushed by a pair of large hands. Dou Tang carried out this work meticulously and seriously, his eyes bright and piercing, his fingers constantly grinding, and his inhuman grip turning the pale bones into dust.

In the end, only a pile of grayish-white powder remained.

He then tucked the skeleton next to him under his armpit, and the skeleton, which was fixed with steel nails, made a rattling sound and swayed like a puppet.

With his creaking frame, he rushed to the top of the stairs, kicked open the rooftop door, and went up to the rooftop.

Looking back, a white lab coat was swaying at the top of the rooftop. Just as Dou Tang had expected, the eerie and terrifying skull was suspended above the lab coat, like a transparent person whose only visible part was the skull, covered by an outer garment.

...Thinking about it that way, it's kind of lewd, isn't it?

Logically speaking, the scene before him should have been terrifying, but Dou Tang had seen it all before and felt nothing at all.

Holding up the skeleton in his hand, Dou Tang cut to the chase: "Want one? A new body?"

"Do you think I look like a head-swapping maniac with cat ears?"

...?

How did you, a vengeful spirit, know this meme?

Meeting Dou Tang's questioning gaze, the figure slowly emerged into a human form. A man with an ethereal figure, dressed in a shirt and trousers, slowly appeared there. His face was blurry, but his skull was vaguely visible.

It was as if he were a semi-transparent slime.

"You have your own consciousness?" Dou Tang asked, frowning.

"Of course, Kiryu-kun, I also know that you are Kiryu Toudou, and that classmate from earlier today is Kume Chinatsu." The white-coated vengeful spirit spread his hands and continued, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ejima Iya, and I was the school doctor twelve years ago."

"I'm not some vengeful spirit, haha, I should be called an earthbound spirit. If I continue to be buried, I might become a being like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

This eccentric school doctor sat on the rooftop under the moonlight, one hand...

He was resting his chin on his hand, smiling broadly, looking incredibly eerie.

This is the first time Dou Tang has encountered an evil spirit that can speak properly.

But Ejima Iya on the other side was almost scared to death.

The seemingly ordinary man before him was surrounded by an aura of resentment far stronger than his own, making him feel his very soul tremble. Upon closer inspection of the man's shadow and eyes, it seemed that they concealed boundless hatred and malice.

But those chilling things seemed to have nothing to do with him.

When they dug him out that day, it was daytime and Ejima Iya had just woken up, so he didn't sense Dou Tang, let alone know that he had turned into a jelly bean.

He just felt something was off...

Dou Tang hummed in agreement, suppressing his curiosity, and asked, "So, what exactly happened to you? Why were you dismembered?"

Ejima Izai thought for a moment and replied, "You're right... Why was I dismembered?"

Dou Tang placed the skeleton on the ground and asked, "You don't know?"

The mere act of placing the skeleton on the ground startled Ejima Iya.

Why do you look like you're about to start a fight?

He quickly said, "Uh, I have no recollection! In fact, I only regained my senses shortly after I was dug out... I only have a vague memory of what happened before that. I just remember that someone would come over and kneel down in front of me and chant sutras from time to time."

"After regaining my senses, I wandered around the school and observed the students' lives."

"I know nothing else! Really!"

Yeah……

"Do you know who dug you out?"

Ejima Izai placed his hand on his chin and thought for a moment. This gesture made him seem more human and less like a vengeful spirit than a kind-hearted living person.

"No... I don't know, I don't remember."

This answer gradually calmed Dou Tang's murderous intent. If this vengeful spirit possessed someone at school and forced him to expose himself, his school life would be ruined.

"So, do you know about the ghost wall phenomenon on campus? What else do you know about this school?"

Ejima Iya thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I think I remembered something..."

"here……"

Recalling the events before his death seemed to cause him pain; cold sweat streamed down his ethereal face, which turned ashen and gradually faded.

"I... I volunteered to do something again? I can't remember... Wait, Kiryu-kun, is today... is today a full moon night? Yes, what season is it?"

Dou Tang said coldly, "Today is the Ghost Festival, also known as the Ullambana Festival."

"It is the night of the parade of a hundred demons."

Ejima Iya's body trembled.

Chapter 32 You used your teaching position from twelve years ago to cut off my current student status?

Dou Tang showed no respect whatsoever.

"If you give me a scene where a conversation triggers a boss battle and I turn evil on the spot, I'll show you what cruelty really means."

……

Why is this person so disrespectful?

Jiangdao Yizai, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly came to his senses. Kiryu Todo's words hit him like a heavy hammer, and many things that he was about to remember were directly pushed into the depths of his consciousness and could not rise again.

Then, he looked at Dou Tang with a blank expression.

"I...I just felt like..."

"Stop babbling nonsense." Dou Tang was almost losing his patience and pointed directly at the skeleton on the ground: "Can you use this thing?"

Ejima Izai paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "Kiryu-kun, have you never been to school before?"

"Huh?" Dou Tang asked in confusion.

"Kiryu-kun, we're not a medical school, where would we get real skeletons?" Ejima Iya's teacherly aura surged up as he pointed at the skeleton on the ground and said, "Kiryu-kun, I'm really worried about your grades!"

……

Grass!

I was actually looked down upon by a geomancer!

Dou Tang slapped his forehead hard and sighed.

"However, I understand Kiryu-kun's good intentions, and please believe me, Kiryu-kun, I am not a vengeful spirit, but a bound spirit that must guard this place. Please rest assured, Kiryu-kun."

Dou Tang looked at the highly suspicious earthbound spirit in front of him and then said, "I got separated from my companions. I suspect it's a case of being trapped in a ghost wall. Could it be that you did it?"

Jiangdao Yizai frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head, his expression suggesting he wasn't lying.

"I don't know... I really don't know about this, but disappearing from school sounds really outrageous."

He raised his head again, waving his hands across the entire campus, and said, "But I can be sure that Kiryu-san is definitely not in this school building. After I regained my senses, I could feel that all my bones are buried in the school building. If she has disappeared here, then I will definitely sense it."

Is that so... As expected, Lu Zizhen isn't in the building, so she must be on the playground behind?

The high school campus is adjacent to the junior high school campus, but only the high school's teaching building is so peculiar. Behind the entire U-shaped teaching building are the playground, activity rooms, and cafeteria. If students want to eat, they have to cross the playground.

It seems that Lu Zizhen and I may have gone in different directions after we separated at the beginning. But if it's a case of being lost in the shadows or being trapped in a maze... how is she doing?

Dou Tang began to worry.

Worry spread through his heart, and not wanting to waste any more time, Dou Tang said, "Alright, Jiangdao Yizai... Jiangdao-sensei, I'm sorry to bother you, I need to go find my companions."

"Hmm... Alright, Kiryu-kun, go ahead. I hope you succeed. Judging from your extraordinary aura and your fearless attitude towards the supernatural, you must be someone special... Huh??"

Ejima Izai was looking at the moon and talking to himself when he looked down halfway through his sentence. There was no one left on the rooftop.

He's already gone downstairs!

"No, Kiryu-kun, you should... you should take that skeleton away!"

"Dengdengdeng..."

The footsteps returned, and Kiryu Todo rushed up to the rooftop, picked up the skeleton on the ground, but hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Ejima Iya.

Jiangdao Yizai suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"No, Kiryu-kun, Kiryu-san, wait... No, no! Kiryu-san! I was wrong! No, please, don't!"

A pair of evil hands reached out towards the poor earthbound spirit.

"Sorry, you'll have to make do for a bit, but this model can't be without a head."

A moment later, a human bone model with a skull that seemed to have a slight color difference from the body was placed in the teaching materials room.

"Kiryu-kun, is it your mess that I have to clean up? Don't you even respect your teacher?!" Ejima Iya complained, looking at his new body with tears in his eyes.

Dou Tang rarely joked: "You're using your teaching position from twelve years ago to disqualify me from my current student status?"

"Although you sounded very serious, why did I detect a faint smile in your voice? Kiryu-kun, you're actually quite mischievous! You're not as honest as you seem at all!"

Dou Tang ignored him, picked up the door from the ground, and used it to block the door frame before leaving.

Looking at his comical plastic body, Ejima Iya let out a helpless sigh.

"What are you doing..."

After settling Ejima Izai in, Toudou headed straight for the playground and saw the cafeteria, which seemed to be faintly glowing.

Scattered flames occasionally flickered in the cafeteria, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if there was nothing there, like... a fighting game where the characters hadn't loaded?

The cafeteria door was locked, and Dou Tang looked inside through the glass, where flashes of metal clanging against metal occasionally filled the air.

It looks more like a Sekiro boss fight with all the character models removed!

That's a great metaphor!

It seems this must be the place. Even if it isn't, there must be something wrong with those lights.

Dou Tang took half a step back, then lifted his foot.

Since we've already taken down a door tonight, we won't miss this piece of glass!

"Clang!"

With one kick, half of the glass door shattered into pieces.

Meanwhile, Lu Zizhen, who was fighting a lower-ranking soldier at the foot of the Wraith Mountain in another space, was also startled by the sudden sound behind him. He forced the sharp longsword aside with his twin swords, took two steps back, and glanced back.

From her perspective, the cafeteria door was open, but at that moment, the glass on one side of the door shattered for no apparent reason.

This was a signal; she instantly understood what was probably happening in the real world.

So, she decisively swung the sword in her hand and stabbed it at the lowly soldier at the foot of the Wraith Mountain in the distance.

The moment it was unleashed, the entire sword burst into flames, and all the talismans on the hilt sputtered and crackled, the raging flames so intense that even the lowest-ranking soldiers at the foot of the Wraith Mountain dared not confront it head-on!

But this move was easy to dodge. The lower-ranking officer at the foot of the resentful mountain dodged to the side, while coldly snorting, "Is this the method of the Yin-Yang Masters of China! Brave but reckless!"

"Idiot," Lu Zizhen cursed.

The longsword she flung disappeared into the flames.

In the real world, Dou Tang was observing the constant sounds of swords clashing in the hall with a puzzled look, wondering how to get to Lu Zizhen's world. But at that moment, a long sword burning with flames suddenly appeared from nothingness and shot towards the kitchen!

The longsword was extremely fast, but Dou Tang's movements were just as quick!

In an instant, he transformed into a tiger or leopard, leaping onto the table and bounding forward, unafraid of the scorching flames, grabbing the hilt of the longsword.

He took the sword hilt, then swung the sword with one hand while spinning his body in the air, landing quietly as he twirled the sword in his hand and then held it behind his arm.

Even Lu Zizhen had never seen such a move before.

He raised his hand and turned his arm to look at the retractable sword in his hand. He thought this was a signal sent to him by Lu Zizhen, that as long as he held the hilt of the sword, he could enter the ghost wall space or something, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Chapter 33 I shatter the moon reflected in the water, who fears the might of the treacherous god?

The hilt of the sword was scorching hot, but nothing else happened.

But one thing is certain: Lu Zizhen is here.
