He turned around and climbed back in, stretching out his hands.
Holding the knife, Huaiyin blushed and said, "I can get out of here by myself..."
Dou Tang ignored what she said, simply walked up, reached out and forcibly pulled her into his arms, and jumped out of the window.
After hanging up with Huaiyin, he dialed Tong Zizhen's number and said, "I picked up Huaiyin and also ran into someone who seemed like a mad scientist, but he's already burned it."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyin awkwardly stuck out her tongue.
He was still figuring out how to deal with that guy with the dark blue skin when... he bumped into his brother?
That's incredibly bad luck...
"Overprotection? Absolutely not!"
No one knows what Lu Zizhen said, but Dou Tang, who was on the phone, suddenly shouted while pressing his earpiece.
Huaiyin, who was standing to the side, understood immediately and chuckled to herself.
Dou Tang glared at her, clicked his tongue, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Go home. You're not allowed to play games for a week! And... give me that knife!" Dou Tang said sternly, holding out his hand.
Huaiyin obediently presented the long sword, with the building behind her already engulfed in flames, marking the end of her first great adventure.
Chapter 16 Where did her confidence come from?
It's a good thing that Huaiyin has her own ideas and desires for independence.
Dou Tang supports it, but he will still inevitably worry and have some concerns.
Especially given the dangerous situation we encountered this time.
Looking at the burning building in front of him, Dou Tang sighed.
What exactly happened here may never be known again; all the ugliness and darkness of the past have been burned away with the flames.
Those monsters were all normal souls. They were not under Dou Tang's control. They might have disappeared or gone to the underworld of this world.
Dou Tang didn't know, and didn't want to know.
The underworld and such are no longer relevant to me. I am now a Fall Guy, and the only area I control is the Fall Guy world.
But Dou Tang also wondered, if monsters at that level are still ordinary people, then what is the difference between monsters and humans?
That man with the sallow complexion probably possesses incredible information, capable of torturing and transforming ordinary people into that state. If other evil spirits were to find out, it might escalate into a disaster similar to the one involving the human head.
Dou Tang looked down at Huai Yin, put the long sword into the fishing rod bag that Huai Yin had prepared, then slung it over his shoulder and said, "Shall we go home? Let's get out of here quickly before the police and fire department arrive."
Huaiyin nodded.
The two secretly returned to the parking lot through the open space next to the building. The van was still there, but the door was open. It seemed that the two tacky broadcasters had also escaped with their men, but it was unknown where they had gone.
Perhaps they went back to the mental hospital to salvage the equipment? After all, that tent was quite close to the burning hospital, and it wouldn't be good if the equipment inside broke down.
Indeed, Dou Tang could vaguely hear shouts in the distance, and the sound of people running towards them carrying things. Time was running out.
Dou Tang and Huai Yin quickly seized the opportunity to get to the motorcycle. Dou Tang put on his helmet and then took out another helmet from the box at the back of the motorcycle and handed it to Huai Yin.
The two put on their helmets, and Dou Tang didn't linger. He started the car, the engine roared, and they sped off.
This scene was witnessed by Linlin, who was carrying equipment and running towards the van. She stared blankly at the departing motorcycle, a hint of doubt rising in her mind.
That's...that's the Wooden Demon Sister, right? And who's that man carrying her long sword?
Before she could even call out to the two men, the motorcycle had already sped down the mountain road, rounded a bend, and disappeared in just a few seconds.
………………
Carrying the sound of locust trees, Dou Tang remained silent.
Huaiyin's slender hands tightly embraced his waist, remaining silent, but a hint of unease emanated from her hands.
Judging from the way she clutched her clothes, the girl was actually filled with anxiety.
Of course I was nervous. I'd really gotten myself into trouble; my brother was definitely angry.
Oh dear, I thought I could easily kill the evil spirits, or at most I'd just get a scolding for making a wasted trip.
But now... of course she could recognize Dou Tang's roar after his transformation, and she also realized what was going on with the fire spreading from underground. This was not something she could handle, even though Dou Tang had been forced to transform.
Even he has transformed, which is enough to show that things have gotten out of hand.
If it were just an ordinary evil spirit, Dou Tang could easily deal with it with his bare hands.
Huaiyin, her neck constricted, stood anxiously in the cold autumn wind.
A fire truck drove by on either side of the road. Huaiyin turned around and looked towards the mountain. He could vaguely see a burning building in the mountains, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
It seems that tomorrow's headlines will mostly be things like "Online streamer accidentally burns down abandoned hospital while filming an adventure program".
Dou Tang showed no interest in this at all, driving the motorcycle like a cold machine, constantly twisting the throttle as if trying to squeeze out the last bit of speed from the motorcycle.
He must be very angry...
As Huaiyin pondered, a wave of weariness washed over her, and she gradually closed her eyes.
With a hint of fear and nervousness, she still clung tightly to the man in front of her.
Soon, I arrived home.
Dou Tang gently moved Huai Yin's hand, untying her hands that were tightly gripping his clothes, and carefully stepped off the motorcycle from the front.
Huaiyin in the back seat lurched forward, and he quickly caught her, but in the end, he still couldn't wake her up.
Holding the petite girl in his arms, Dou Tang headed straight for the elevator in the underground parking lot.
They took the elevator, went inside, placed her on the floor, and took off her helmet... Huaiyin didn't wake up even after Doutang wiped her face with a hot, damp towel.
Thermometer, hot compresses... After confirming that Huaiyin really didn't have a cold or fever, and that he had just fallen asleep due to being too nervous and frightened, he breathed a sigh of relief and took off his helmet.
Only then did he realize that he was so nervous that he was covered in sweat, and his hair was so wet that it looked like he could wring water out of it.
I was worrying too much.
Dou Tang shook his head and laughed at himself before walking into the bathroom.
After rinsing himself under the tap, Dou Tang dialed Lu Zizhen's number.
"Hey, it's all settled... I'm home now." Dou Tang said in a low voice, afraid of waking Huai Yin who was sleeping outside, even though his voice was softer than the sound of water.
"Hmph, you siscon, alright, I'm going to get ready to rest now... Taking care of this brat is really tiring."
Dou Tang pursed his lips and said, "It's a good thing that she has ambition."
"It's a good thing, but she lacks experience and is too anxious... She still has so much to learn, and there's no one to teach her... I mean, you don't really think that anyone else with you besides me can have an accurate understanding of the power of evil spirits, do you?"
"She's too close to you, so close that she thinks there's no evil spirit in the world that she can't handle, and that all evil spirits in the world are as vulnerable as they are in front of you."
Dou Tang frowned and retorted, "No, she's not stupid, why would she think that?"
Lu Zizhen snorted: "She's not stupid, but she'll be misled by the power you've shown, and she'll have a wrong perception of herself."
"If that's not the case, then what makes her think that doing some physical training is enough to become an exorcist? Wait a minute..."
Lu Zizhen's tone became doubtful: "Unless... unless she herself has confidence, confidence that she can exorcise demons."
"I didn't teach her, and you don't know how to teach people... so where does her confidence come from?"
Dou Tang suddenly turned off the shower, his tone becoming serious.
"You mean, someone is helping her?"
"I'm just guessing."
"...I'll keep an eye on it. Okay, goodnight."
Dou Tang hung up the phone and picked up a towel from the side.
That's right. Even if she wielded a longsword imbued with resentment that could harm evil spirits, she shouldn't have been so bold.
He dried himself off and stepped out of the bathroom, then looked up.
In the dark room, Huaiyin sat up at some point, staring at Doutang who had just come out of the bathroom with some confusion.
“…………Ah!” A soft, childish scream rang out.
Dou Tang sighed and silently took off the towel from his head, covering the parts of his body that shouldn't be seen by others.
Chapter 17 The Young Boy Ren Doutang
After another round of commotion, Huaiyin and Doutang finally fell asleep again.
Dou Tang, now dressed in pajamas, lay down beside Huai Yin, her eyes fixed on Huai Yin's profile.
She's hiding something from me.
Dou Tang thought to himself.
This is a good thing, or rather, it should be this way.
He thought about it again, but then felt a pang in his heart.
It's a good thing, but there will always be some disappointment.
Ren Doutang, what are you thinking? Even if you and she are truly in love and as close as real siblings, you will eventually kill each other.
You can certainly treat her like a real sister and make up for past regrets, but is that fair to her?
Dou Tang gradually closed his eyes and stopped thinking.
………………
The sound of locust trees parted the thick fog and descended into my dream.
I am in the hospital.
The floor tiles underfoot were patterned, the corridor was lined with shoulder-high white ceramic tiles, and the overhead lights had military green metal shades.
A somewhat disjointed sense of the times,
It felt like stepping into a world from decades ago.
This is the county hospital in Zhending, and it was indeed built decades ago.
Huaiyin stood curiously in the corridor, looking around at everything in front of her.
Doctors and nurses in white coats came and went, an old man in coarse cloth clothes sat slumped in the corridor, and several middle-aged women were chatting about everyday matters...
This scenery was completely different from that in Japan, which confirmed Huaiyin's belief that she had returned to the world in Doutang's memory, the world that once belonged to Ren Doutang.
"Xiao Tang, go back and talk to your dad. Tell him to stop running around like this. He's a grown man, and it's not worth breaking his leg on a long trip."
Hearing the sound, Huaiyin turned around and found that the office door behind her had opened, and an old doctor in a white coat was walking out, shaking his head.
Dou Tang, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, followed behind with a grin. He scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Uncle Zhang, you know how my dad is. He's never been idle. He's been on the go his whole life."
The old doctor, known as Uncle Zhang, snorted coldly: "Yes, that's right! Your father was like that, and so was his father! The first time I treated a fracture, it was his father's. Back then, your grandfather was a big celebrity in our county. People from other places would come to see him every few days."
"It's still the same in your father's generation. People come looking for him every few days, and then he goes to another city, comes back with some injuries. Isn't that crazy?"
Dou Tang shrank his neck, looking cowardly. Huai Yin watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she had ever seen Dou Tang so timid. She couldn't even imagine it before.
"Alright, it's no use scolding you. I'll have to find a chance to scold your father instead." Uncle Zhang waved his hand and started to shoo people away: "Go get your father some medicine."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll be going now." Dou Tang nodded quickly, said goodbye, and slipped away.
Huaiyin followed closely behind.
Zhang Bo's voice came from behind, full of energy: "Next, next!"
Following behind the young Dou Tang, Huai Yin curiously examined the dream.
The people here still use those old, brick-like cell phones; Huaiyin had only ever seen the same thing in secondhand stores. Although everything was quite backward, watching these people live, you could feel a strong, vibrant energy.
If I had to describe it, it would be "active".
Even in a place like a hospital, the people coming and going seem very active, as if nothing can defeat them or make them despair.
This is definitely not normal. Huaiyin had a strange feeling that everything here might have been beautified... or perhaps in Doutang's memory, this is how it should be.
The scene before him was not objective reality, but rather what Dou Tang perceived in his subjective memory.
Dou Tang took the medicine from a glass window, put it in a red plastic bag, and walked out of the hospital.
Huaiyin looked back at the hospital's exterior. This hospital was also full of features completely different from those in Japan, with white tiles covering the exterior walls and a large red cross sign hanging on the roof.
On both sides of the building, there are large red signs.
