Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 351

He silently hung up the phone, sighed deeply, picked up the half-finished energy drink from the car's cupboard, and drank it all in one gulp.

He started the car and headed towards the hotel where Lu Zizhen was staying.

"I'm so sleepy... I just want to be free! I don't want to be a corporate slave working overtime anymore!"

Despite being born into a capitalist family, Yusuke Ninomiya, who is always working overtime, voices his protest against capitalism on behalf of the working class.

He looked up to the sky and roared; at that moment, something strange seemed to awaken within him.

Chapter 285 The Art of Finding Items

After receiving a request for help from Ninomiya Yujing, Lu Zizhen quickly notified Doutang.

At first, Dou Tang didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, Tamamo-no-Mae's matter was more urgent, and it would be inappropriate to suddenly be distracted by investigating other evil spirit incidents.

But Lu Zizhen's reply was: "Since I'm idle anyway, I might as well go have some fun."

...Just playing around?

Dou Tang was speechless after hearing this.

However, the clues about Tamamo-no-Mae are still at a standstill, and the tension in Nikko City is slowly rising. It's not time for Tamamo-no-Mae to slip up yet, so it doesn't matter if we're busy with other things.

After lunch break, Lu Zizhen went to Dou Tang's room with two copper coins inscribed with the resentment of evil spirits.

“Let’s go catch some monsters.” Lu Zizhen played with the copper coin in his hand: “Speaking of which, Ninomiya-san’s magic is quite interesting. His most proficient magic is tracking magic. He can track the location of evil spirits just by using resentment. If we find Tamamo-no-Mae’s trail in a couple of days, we’ll catch him and use him as a police dog.”

Dou Tang frowned: "Proficient in tracking techniques? That sounds rather strange."

Lu Zizhen immediately laughed: "Strange, right? I thought it was strange at first too, but I asked him and found out what was going on."

“The Ninomiya family used to make loans, but because of their large size and wealth, many people would borrow money and then leave, intending to take advantage of the Ninomiya family.”

"The Ninomiya family later developed a special technique for tracking debts."

"Damn it!" Lu Zizhen slammed her fist on the wardrobe next to her, suddenly becoming very indignant: "Damn capitalists."

Dou Tang was speechless.

"Alright, get ready, we should get going." Lu Zizhen opened the...

Looking at the wardrobe, he glanced at Dou Tang's clothes and took out a black business suit, saying, "A maroon shirt and a purplish-black suit, you can wear this today."

"It's high-quality and not tacky, plus a pair of pure black leather gloves." Lu Zizhen clicked her tongue and shook her head, marveling at her own taste: "It's absolutely insanely handsome, with a red helmet and a neck with clearly defined neck veins and Adam's apple, it's practically a woman-slaying machine."

She glanced at Dou Tang, her eyes looking at him like he was looking at a dish: "Hehehe, I'm having hot dogs tonight..."

Dou Tang had never felt so helpless. He shuddered involuntarily and exclaimed in shock, "Can you please stop being so predatory?"

"Sigh, you wouldn't understand." Lu Zizhen sighed and threw the suit to Dou Tang. "Of course you wouldn't understand how thirsty this girl, who is always ready to die, is."

"I've certainly witnessed their ferocity..." Dou Tang caught the clothes and rolled his eyes.

"Can we go out now? I need to change my clothes."

Lu Zizhen leaned back on the chair next to her, crossed her legs, and looked incredibly charming, like an elegant rich woman who had just hired a male escort: "Do I need to be so reserved with you? I've already lifted your pants in front of your female classmates."

Dou Tang recalled the incident at the hotel in Kamo River City, where Lu Zizhen pulled down his pants in front of Kume Chinatsu, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

She changed her clothes without saying a word or making any attempt to hide it.

Lu Zizhen, meanwhile, chuckled to herself as she fiddled with her hair.

Huaiyin was sent away, and now all she could think about was doing something bad while Huaiyin was away.

Dou Tang changed his clothes in a short while, straightened his collar, but did not wear a tie, revealing a little bit of his collarbone.

He reached out and frowned, saying, "It's still inconvenient to move around. Do I have to wear a suit to the event?"

“Let’s keep building up the atmosphere.” Lu Zizhen took out an action camera from her pocket and placed it on the table: “First, film your first-person exorcism; second, I’ll film it for you like before.”

"The man in the red helmet and suit is identified as a strong human, Tamamo-no-Mae's mortal enemy, and also a righteous exorcist."

Lu Zizhen still grinned mischievously: "If it weren't for filming videos to continue generating buzz, why would I take this job?"

"Ninomiya is just a tool, not me."

Dou Tang nodded, then took a deep breath to adjust his state.

The relaxed boy who had been smiling during the conversation vanished in an instant.

His eyes sharpened, his lips turned down slightly, and Dou Tang slumped his shoulders slightly, completely changing his demeanor.

In Lu Zizhen's eyes, the boy who had just been embarrassed by her teasing had disappeared, and the calm and composed exorcist, Mr. Ren, had instantly awakened.

Lu Zizhen unconsciously rubbed the copper coins in her hand, suppressing her breathing, but the smile on her lips was impossible to hide.

She realized that Dou Tang, after these two days of rest, was actually quite impatient.

Like a ferocious beast whose ferocity has not been fully unleashed, he was not satisfied after his last battle with Tamamo-no-Mae. Now, with just a gentle provocation, he will instantly enter a ferocious state of fighting against evil spirits.

Dou Tang turned his head and looked at Lu Zizhen.

Lu Zizhen got up, walked slowly to his side, picked up the tie from the bed, and gently put it around Dou Tang's neck, wanting to tie it for him.

Her movements were gentle and ambiguous, with an indescribable provocation.

But Dou Tang ignored him, raised his hand and pulled off the tie, saying coldly, "No need, wearing this makes me feel even more restricted."

Lu Zizhen shrugged: "Okay."

She took a few steps back and pulled two thin talisman papers from her pocket. They were covered with a dense array of incantations, and they looked somewhat different from the ones she used before.

She twirled the talisman between her fingertips, chanting incantations as she spun it around on a copper coin. Then she wrapped the talisman with the coin and gently stroked it with the pad of her index finger.

Then, she gripped the talisman packet tightly, raised her index finger, and spun it around in all four directions.

When the plane turned to the east, Lu Zizhen frowned slightly, and her fist trembled as if something had stabbed her palm.

"Hmm, found them. They're both in the east. Let's go."

Dou Tang asked doubtfully, "You think you can find it like this?"

“That’s right.” Lu Zizhen nodded: “The copper coins that are attached to resentment will become active when stimulated by the talisman. When the finger points to the place where its owner is, the copper coin will tremble.”

“In China, they might use tools like the Dragon-Seeking Ruler. There are quite a few directional object-finding techniques like that.” Lu Zizhen explained, counting on his fingers: “For example, the Seven Star Palm: Zi Wu Huang En and Da Chi, Chou Wei Shuang Shuang Gu Qing Yun, Yin Shen Deng Tai Fu Shang Ma, Mao You Ma Sheng Zi Zhuan, Chen Xu Pi Sha Yi Zai Jie, Si Hai Kong Kong Ban Guang Ming.”

"However, that can be used by ordinary people to find things, and it is related to the time of day. It is not part of the system for finding evil spirits."

Lu Zizhen's eyes turned somewhat mocking: "Speaking of which, don't you know about such a famous item-finding technique?"

"I thought you were a China expert."

Chapter 286 Fox Demon

Dou Tang curled his lip in response.

...I think I vaguely remember it.

But... it seems I've never killed anyone.

Seeing Dou Tang's expression, Lu Zizhen immediately felt something was off.

Why do you look like you've remembered but don't care? You don't actually know, do you?

Damn it, aren't you Japanese?

Lu Zizhen had been investigating the mysteries surrounding Dou Tang for a long time, but there were still no results. Even the title "Mr. Ren" had no corresponding counterpart in China.

This only made Lu Zizhen even more curious.

What is Dou Tang hiding behind his self-proclaimed title of Mr. Ren?

Before I met him, no matter what channel I used, all I knew was that he was an ordinary delinquent who had never been abroad and had never had any strange experiences.

So, where does that powerful force, which remains incredibly strong even when not transformed into a Fall Guy, come from?

Lu Zizhen felt extremely tormented because her curiosity could not be answered.

After receiving information about the direction of the evil spirit, the two went downstairs, got in their car, and headed east.

The eastern part of Nikko City is lower in elevation and more prosperous, already showing signs of becoming a major city. At this time, Nikko's tourism industry is booming, and the number of tourists is surging.

During this period, the main roads in Nikko City are crowded with people every evening.

Even though it's evening, small groups of tourists can still be seen everywhere.

Dou Tang rested his hand on the car window and frowned, saying, "There are more and more people in Sunshine City. Our plan has both advantages and disadvantages."

“Of course.” Lu Zizhen was driving and looking straight ahead. “That was the plan from the beginning. In fact, we are putting pressure not only on Tamamo-no-Mae, but also on the authorities.”

"Official?" Dou Tang looked at Lu Zizhen, somewhat confused.

"That's right. Even if the authorities trust the exorcists with their authority, they can't withstand the pressure of so many tourists flocking to Nikko City. If something serious happens in Nikko City that harms innocent people, the authorities will have to take part of the blame, even if they try to shift the responsibility."

Lu Zizhen laughed, somewhat disdainfully: "Do you really think exorcists are just black gloves, used and discarded, and you don't have to worry about the consequences of taking the blame?"

"You've thought of everything quite thoroughly." Dou Tang was somewhat surprised; he really hadn't expected Lu Zizhen to have considered so much when formulating this plan.

Lu Zizhen raised an eyebrow, quite pleased with herself: "Don't underestimate me. I managed to gain a foothold in Tokyo all by myself. How could I do that without real strength?"

Lu Zizhen would occasionally take out a talisman wrapped with copper coins and turn it around, then adjust the direction of the car. After driving for nearly an hour, they arrived at an intersection.

“One in front, one on the left, the two evil spirits are in different places. It’s time to choose. Which one should we look for first?” Lu Zizhen asked.

"Can you tell which one is the murderer?" Dou Tang asked in return.

"According to Ninomiya, the culprit is that fox demon. Judging from the resentment, it should be in front of us." Lu Zizhen pointed to a spot not far away: "But not directly in front. We should be quite close to that thing. So, shall we look for it first?"

"Hmm." Dou Tang's eyes already held a murderous intent: "Of course, we need to catch the murderer first."

Lu Zizhen smiled with satisfaction. The traffic light at the intersection turned green, and she started the car. The sports car roared and drove towards the direction where the resentment was located in the distance.

………………

Foxy Leaf felt quite refreshed lately.

Nikko City is simply paradise.

As a yokai, he thrived in Nikko City, a place steeped in the legend of Tamamo-no-Mae, thanks to his docile fox appearance. Whenever he wagged his tail to express goodwill, those foolish humans would think they had encountered an extraordinary adventure and would enthusiastically adopt him.

Even more extreme, some people actually suspected that they were Tamamo-no-Mae, and they treated them like royalty, making their lives incredibly comfortable.

At the same time, there was also a deep contempt for humanity.

Idiot, can't you even tell if a fox is male or female?

Although she was ambushed by a swordsman who appeared out of nowhere at noon today while she was preparing to eat people, she still managed to eat the most important part, the heart, intact. After swallowing the heart and most of the soul together, Yan Ye felt that she had become much stronger.

Moreover, it wasn't even night yet, and she had already found another foolish human to take her in. Watching the bespectacled man bustling around buying her all sorts of canned meat, Yan Ye felt incredibly smug.

The bespectacled man in front of me seemed to enjoy documenting his life, often taking pictures of this and that with his phone. He also seemed to be somewhat famous in human society, with someone carrying a camera by his side following his instructions.

Judging from the man's extravagant spending, he doesn't seem to be short of money.

Hmm... he's a human being I can rely on for a long time. This time, I'll just slowly torture his mind.

Foxy Ye squinted at the bespectacled man bustling around the room, secretly delighted.

At that moment, he had no idea that he was about to face a terrible disaster.

And this bespectacled man... was also an acquaintance.

"Senior, are you sure we're not shooting anything else today?" the photographer asked, watching the senior colleague packing up the cans.

The senior colleague waved his hand without looking up and said, "That's enough filming. Go back to your room and edit today's interviews. We need to make a first-hand interview program to generate buzz."

He glanced at the cat food can in his hand, then at the fiery red fox curled up on the hotel sofa, yawning, and said with a smile, "Besides, I'm going to take some nice photos of Fox-san in the room, and maybe write some captions to post on Twitter."

"I bet a lot of people would enjoy the story of encountering a very intelligent fox in Nikko City."

photography

Upon hearing this, the teacher gave a deep "oh" and got up to return to his room.

The senior colleague then approached Fox Beauty with a video camera and began taking close-up shots of her.

Fox Yan Ye didn't react much. In his opinion, it was already a favor for humans to take pictures of him. Being able to let humans appreciate his body so closely was a blessing.

Before I become food, you're welcome to take as many pictures of my body as you like, after all, as a fox, I am quite handsome.

Perhaps vanity is in the nature of fox spirits, whether it's Tamamo-no-Mae or Enno-Yo.

The senior took several photos, then opened a can of food for Fox Beauty and carefully placed it in front of her.

Yan Ye looked up at the canned food, then stuck out his tongue and licked it twice, his face showing disgust. In his opinion, this cat food was too raw and fishy, ​​so he simply turned his head away and ignored it completely.

Seeing this, the senior scratched his head, then seemed to have thought of something and started rummaging through the plastic bag again.
