Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 343

Why are there so many tourists all of a sudden?

She quickly went to the bedside, picked up her phone, and began to check the current situation in Nikko City.

As expected, social media platforms were flooded with posts about Tamamo-no-Mae, and this time it wasn't just rumors or gossip, but rather so-called "eyewitness accounts."

With a massive amount of eyewitness accounts, almost every young person in Nikko City who has internet access is frantically sharing their experiences online, claiming that they saw Tamamo-no-Mae.

The most common story is that after the hotel vandalism incident two nights ago, the injured Tamamo-no-Mae encountered her own story.

These stories all begin similarly: Tamamo-no-Mae is injured by an unknown man in a red helmet, escapes barely alive, and eventually encounters the creator of these stories, then stays temporarily in the creator's home.

Titles like "My Fox Fairy Girlfriend" or "My Roommate is Actually Tamamo-no-Mae" are popping up everywhere, while more novel ones include "Me, Tamamo-no-Mae's Ex-Boyfriend" or "I Picked Up a Fox Fairy at the Start."

These can be categorized as fan fiction, but the others are a bit outrageous.

Things like "One Hundred Secrets About Me and Tamamo-no-Mae", "After Meeting Tamamo-no-Mae, I Became an Adult", and "On Why Tamamo-no-Mae Makes People Never Get Up Early Again"...

It made Tamamo-no-Mae's blood pressure spike.

There were even outrageous headlines like "In front of King Zhou, I choose to become Cao Cao."

Tamamo-no-Mae took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to ignore those things.

She then discovered that the most famous aspects of this incident were indeed the incredibly authentic eyewitness accounts.

These records describe the encounters with Tamamo-no-Mae from various perspectives. Some describe in detail the strange abilities Tamamo-no-Mae displays, while others focus on her appearance.

Only someone with a deep understanding of Tamamo-no-Mae could write such an eyewitness account.

Tamamo-no-Mae immediately realized that Ren Doutang must be behind this. No one in the world understood her as well as he did.

After all, I've only been born for less than half a month!

"whispering sound……"

Tamamo-no-Mae nervously bit her nails, worrying about what to do next.

Although Dou Tang hasn't come looking for me yet, judging from the actions he's taken, he's already established his own power base. Given this, how can I expand my advantage...?

Building up power... is it too late now?

Or should we forcibly leave Nikko City?

This might be a solution, but what awaits her next is a protracted pursuit. She knows Dou Tang's personality very well; as long as he insists that she deserves to die, he will definitely relentlessly pursue her until the very last moment!

...Perhaps I have a way to leave Nikko City normally, as long as someone shuts down the barrier around Nikko City.

Her mind raced, and she locked her attention on one person.

Ninomiya Yusuke!

Regardless, Ninomiya Yusuke is now his only way to contact exorcists, so he needs to dig deeper and deeper into his value and uncover more information.

Having made up her mind, she quickly washed up, got dressed, and prepared to leave the hot spring hotel.

Pushing open the door of the hot spring inn and stepping onto the street lined with quaint Japanese-style houses, she was stopped before she could take two steps.

The person who stopped him was dressed fashionably and was holding a small microphone. There was another person behind him holding a camera.

The stylishly dressed person wore very high-prescription glasses, and when he smiled, his gums were visible. He looked like a kind but slightly strange person.

If Huaiyin were here, she would recognize him as the famous video blogger she met in the abandoned mental hospital, "Senior".

The senior disciple, with an exaggerated smile on his face, stopped Tamamo-no-Mae and said, "Um, excuse me for bothering you for a moment, may I?"

Tamamo-no-Mae initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the camera, she frowned and feigned distress, asking, "Is there something you need?"

"Um, I'm a video blogger on YouTube." The senior blogger took out his phone and showed Tamamo-no-Mae his channel homepage. "I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to participate in a street interview. This interview might be recorded in a video. Would that be acceptable to you?"

Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly had a new idea, or rather, it was just a whim.

That's just her personality; she only wants to see interesting things, to experience the novelty and fun of the world, and to feel pleasure from them.

Her bad habits often lead to unimaginable consequences due to her immense power.

“Of course.” Tamamo-no-Mae’s smile had a bewitching charm: “It’s just an interview, no problem.”

The senior was overjoyed. Although Tamamo-no-Mae's face wasn't quite stunningly beautiful anymore, she was still considered a beauty. As long as a pretty girl appeared in the video, it would generate some buzz.

It is human nature to like appreciating beauty.

"That's great." The senior gestured to the cameraman to start recording, then looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, are you a native of Nikko City?"

Indigenous people... I guess you could call them that? After all, I've lived here for almost a thousand years.

Tamamo-no-Mae smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm a local."

"Then may I ask, are you aware of the so-called Tamamo-no-Mae sighting incident in Nikko City these past two days?" the senior asked with a smile.

“Of course I know.” Tamamo-no-Mae nodded.

"So, did you encounter Tamamo-no-Mae? And what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Tamamo-no-Mae scoffed, somewhat disdainfully, and said sarcastically, "Come on, I don't think anyone has ever actually seen Tamamo-no-Mae. Those records on the internet are just rumors spread by hearsay."

"If someone really did see it, then with technology so advanced these days, why is there no other evidence besides that so-called hotel vandalism case?"

Tamamo-no-Mae took out her phone and waved it, saying, "Is it that hard to take out your phone and take a picture?"

Chapter 270 An Ordinary Day

The senior chuckled and said, "You're right, that is indeed a point of suspicion."

Tamamo-no-Mae put her phone away and said, "In short, as a local of Nikko City, I think those rumors about encountering Tamamo-no-Mae are completely fabricated."

"Liars should feel ashamed."

After hearing Tamamo-no-Mae's words, the senior coughed twice, preparing to end the interview, and hurriedly said, "What you said makes a lot of sense... Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you, thank you for your cooperation."

The cameraman also turned off his camera.

After the camera turned off, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly raised her finger and waved it in front of the two of them.

"Go back and put my interview in the video, and believe me, say that it's all a rumor." Her words had an irresistible magic, instantly bewitching the senior colleague and the photographer.

The two of them stared blankly for a moment, then stood frozen in place.

According to Tamamo-no-Mae's idea, the senior's change of attitude should be able to stop the current online frenzy in a slightly more rational way.

However, she doesn't understand the internet.

People love to have fun, and they certainly won't miss out on such a rare and wonderful opportunity.

Even if some people jump out to act as rational and objective observers, so what? They just want to vent their emotions, join in the fun, and entertain themselves at the same time.

Ignoring the two who were standing there in a daze, Tamamo-no-Mae turned around and walked down the slope. Only after she left did the photographer and the senior suddenly come to their senses.

Tamamo-no-Mae walked down the curved road, brushing past countless tour groups, listening to the guides tell stories about her, and watching them slowly make their way through the streets where the snow had not yet melted.

Today, the snow stopped, and warm sunlight shone down, falling on Tamamo-no-Mae. She basked in the sunlight, gazing at people with the same indifferent eyes as Tou-Tang.

She continued downhill, first grabbing a quick bite at a roadside stall, and then arriving at Kurisaki Tsukikoto's travel agency.

Surprisingly, there was a note pasted on the travel agency's glass door that read, "Our agency is suspending all tourism services." It's unclear what happened.

Through the glass door, Tamamo-no-Mae noticed that Kurizaki Tsukikoto was still in the shop, so she pushed the door open and went in. Upon seeing Kurizaki Tsukikoto, she greeted him with a sweet smile, "Good morning, Kurizaki-san."

Kurizaki Tsukikoto looked up, saw it was Tamamo-no-Mae, and smiled as she replied, "Good morning, Tamamo-no-Mae."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked back at the door and asked curiously, "Why is there a sign outside saying 'Closed for Business'? Isn't tourism in Nikko City doing very well right now?"

Kurizaki Tsukikoto rubbed her temples, looking a bit of a headache: "It's precisely because the tourism industry is booming that it's such a worry..."

She began to confide: "Those people who come to Nikko City on a whim, without making a travel plan, will go to one travel agency after another, looking for all kinds of travel packages, and then compare prices from different agencies."

"It's great that business is good, but too many people are also a problem. Besides, my main business isn't a travel agency." Kurizaki Tsukikoto shrugged. "My main job should be serving exorcists, as Tama-ra-san already knows."

"If there's no business, won't we make no money?" Tamamo-no-Mae asked, sitting on the sofa.

When this was mentioned, Kurizaki Tsukikoto laughed and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry about that. Of course I make money helping exorcists. In fact, that's the real money."

"Besides, I don't really have any other places to spend money." She pointed around: "After all, this shop belongs to me, so I don't have to pay rent at all."

"Who said it belongs to you?" At that moment, another voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open.

Ninomiya Yusuke entered, his dark circles under his eyes much lighter, clearly indicating he had rested well.

As he spoke, he stamped the snow off his shoes at the doorway, a smile on his face: "It was clearly me who sold this land to you at a low price, Yueqin."

"Good morning, Yuluosang." He then looked at Tamamo-no-Mae and greeted her.

"How are you feeling? Did you have any nightmares last night?"

Nightmare... If Ninomiya Yuuki hadn't reminded her, Tamamo-no-Mae would have forgotten that she even had this character setting.

She smiled and took out her amulet from her pocket, saying, "No, thanks to your amulet, Ninomiya-san."

"That's good." Ninomiya Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Tamaro-san, I have other things to do today. I'm already preparing for the exorcism. You can go out and continue sightseeing today. I'll..."

Just letting you know.

He seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, as if he was still very busy.

Tamamo-no-Mae pursed her lips, looking troubled.

Ignoring her, Ninomiya Yusuke went to Kurizaki Tsukikoto's side and said, "Tsukikoto, I need to go out and see Lu Zizhen today. They spread rumors online all night, and I need to go and ask what to do next."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae narrowed her eyes. So the source of those rumors was that woman named Ryūzō... It seems that woman played a very important role in this matter.

We need to find a way to control her!

Wait a minute... If those rumors were spread by Lu Zizhen, then Dou Tang must be in cahoots with Lu Zizhen!

tsk...

Pick them off one by one? It would be quite difficult for Tamamo-no-Mae to completely eliminate Dou Tang's power at the moment.

Compared to fighting Dou Tang, she prefers to hide. Japan is so big, as long as she lives a low-key life and is not tracked down by Dou Tang when she leaves Nikko City, there is a good chance that she can live a peaceful life.

Then she suddenly spoke up: "Um... Ninomiya-san, did I just hear you say something like a rumor?"

Ninomiya Yusuke turned his head and looked at her with some confusion.

Tamamo-no-Mae held up her phone and said, "I saw those eyewitness accounts of Tamamo-no-Mae online before. Could it be that Tamamo-no-Mae is real?"

"After all, I myself have encountered vengeful spirits... Is Tamamo-no-Mae a real person?"

“Uh…” Ninomiya Yusuke was a little embarrassed.

"You don't even listen when I tell you to speak." Kurizaki Tsukiko patted Ninomiya Yuuki's face, clearly showing that the two were very close.

Ninomiya Yusuke rubbed his face and explained helplessly, "Tamamo-san, don't be afraid. Although the Tamamo-no-Mae incident is true, it won't affect you."

"According to our current intelligence, the so-called Tamamo-no-Mae does not seem to like affecting ordinary people. Although she is hiding in Nikko City, she has not caused any casualties among ordinary people so far."

Tamamo-no-Mae sighed inwardly.

That's because he didn't want to be hunted down by Ren Doutang... who had once chased him and killed half of China? Who could withstand that?

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded, which Ninomiya Yusuke interpreted as him believing him, which relieved him slightly.

"Then, wouldn't it be better to leave Nikko City now?" Tamamo-no-Mae looked up and asked again.

Chapter 271 The Unsettled Zatoichi

Upon hearing Tamamo-no-Mae's words, Ninomiya Yusuke pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

“Taking the vengeful spirit too far from familiar places may intensify its resistance.” Ninomiya Yusuke spread his hands. “Besides, although Nikko City is currently turbulent, it may be the safest place because there are many exorcists here.”

"So many exorcists?" Tamamo-no-Mae seemed quite surprised.

“Yes.” Ninomiya Yusuke took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser, took a sip, and continued, “There are connections among exorcists. Now that such a big thing has happened in Nikko City, many exorcists have come here.”

"I can't go into details about the rest, but please rest assured, Yuluosang, you will be very safe in Nikko City."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo-no-Mae nodded as if she understood but not quite.

She suddenly realized that Ninomiya Yusuke had always maintained a very restrained and safe distance from her, an ordinary person, and that obtaining information from him was not as simple as she had initially thought.

So... what should we do?

………………

As the city of Nikko surges with endless waves amidst its hustle and bustle, time in Tokyo continues its relentless march, inevitably leading to unknown consequences.

After Kuroki Keizaki completely destroyed the headless dog, she rested at home for a few days.

The fake Kiryu has returned to school at Itsuki Private Academy. Without the threat of the headless dog, he can now experience life as an ordinary student.
