Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 52

When his closest relative turned into a vengeful spirit, the desperate old man had no choice but to try his luck and approach Ren Doutang.

"Everyone says that Mr. Ren can even deliver vengeful spirits and monsters from the brink of death. The old man had no choice but to come to you..."

Ren Doutang nodded and said, "It's alright, leave it to me."

"But how will you live from now on?"

The old man looked somewhat forlorn, tears streaming down his face. He said helplessly, "An old man... an old man is still a life, he can live anywhere."

Ren Doutang sighed and said nothing more.

The two had reached the village entrance.

The village was brightly lit, but there was no sign of human habitation. All the lights were shrouded in a hazy green glow, creating an eerie atmosphere.

As soon as the two reached the village entrance, a figure with an ethereal appearance approached them, looking delighted: "Dad, where have you been? We've been looking for you!"

The old man trembled, unable to contain his grief, his whole body shaking.

"They don't know they're already dead?" Ren Doutang scrutinized the illusory, middle-aged vengeful spirit.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ren, they didn't hurt the old man, but... Mr. Ren, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vengeful spirit of the middle-aged man was enveloped in a dark light and lunged at Ren Doutang with a ferocious expression.

“Sigh…” Ren Doutang sighed deeply.

"It is painful for an elderly person to bury their child, Uncle. Let me see you off first."

As he spoke, he threw a punch, his legs slightly apart, his shoulders tilted, and his straight punch came out like a dragon, accompanied by a loud cracking sound as his clothes snapped.

Huaiyin even instinctively covered her ears.

With a single punch, the vengeful spirit of the middle-aged man vanished without a sound.

The old man watched in stunned silence, his heart filled with unbearable sorrow: "My son, my son..."

Dou Tang waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, don't be sad. This is for their own good."

After saying that, he kicked the door of a house next to him.

The gate shattered with a bang and fell backward. Dou Tang strode into the courtyard. Under the pale green light, there was a round table in the courtyard, and several illusory figures were sitting around the table, shouting and toasting each other. However, the food and wine on the table were already covered with thick mold.

Dou Tang shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and punched out with both fists. The vengeful spirits that had just shown ferocious expressions disappeared instantly.

Huaiyin watched with a mixture of fear and excitement, but at the same time, a deep question welled up in her mind.

Why... does Dou Tang no longer exorcise demons in the manner of an ordinary person? Why does he always have to turn into a jelly bean whenever he encounters any supernatural or evil spirits?

He was so powerful in his previous life, but now...

Hmm... it's still very strong, though.

Before the poisoning incident, the entire village seemed to be in the midst of a village-wide feast, with every household setting up a round table in their courtyard, laden with food and drink.

But now, only the vengeful spirits sit at the table, eating the moldy food, as if they have continued the revelry of that day into the present.

Dou Tang was like a heartless machine, smashing down door after door, rushing into house after house, and crushing one dead soul after another.

The old man followed behind him, tears streaming down his face, soaking even the collar of his heavy Zhongshan suit.

Finally, the two of them, along with Huaiyin who was in the audience, arrived at the last house.

The door to this house was open.

"Grandpa, this is your home, right?"

The old man didn't reply, keeping his head down strangely. Dou Tang didn't pay any attention and strode into the courtyard.

A red cloth round table, moldy food and wine—everything was no different from what had been seen in any other household before.

The only difference was that a child's vengeful spirit was running out of the house, standing under the door looking at Dou Tang curiously, and then showing joy when it saw the old man.

"grandfather!"

He tried to rush into the courtyard, but was blocked inside the house by an invisible barrier.

But then, the old man suddenly closed the door behind him.

Dou Tang sighed.

"Mr. Ren... I'm sorry."

Dou Tang didn't ask what he was sorry for, but simply said, "Why bother?"

"The child is still so young, the child is still so young... I want to find a way for him to live. He's still so young, he can't just die like this!"

Dou Tang turned back with his hands behind his back.

Turn around.

"There's something wrong with this village you live in. It's abnormal that all the people who were poisoned have turned into vengeful spirits. And now you're telling me you want this child who's already dead... to live?"

"He needs to possess someone else's body to survive."

"You want him to possess me, is that right?"

"What do you consider human life to be?"

Huaiyin was completely confused; she couldn't understand the riddle between Doutang and the old man, but she silently memorized everything she had seen.

Since my brother is from China... I might ask my sister for directions when I have some free time and get some information.

However, we can't ask directly, since Sister Lu doesn't know about Brother's situation.

The old man shook his cane.

"Mr. Ren! Don't say anything... don't talk about human lives!"

"Has Mr. Ren never encountered...none of the people he couldn't bring himself to do? I don't believe it!"

Dou Tang remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.

"First, I haven't done it myself, but I can understand your thoughts."

"Second... I'm sorry, I'm out of room."

...Is there no room left?

The old man was stunned and looked at Dou Tang in disbelief.

Dou Tang's face was cold and indifferent, but illusory shadows kept emerging from his body, and those shadows were pulled to Dou Tang's chest by an invisible thread.

Dou Tang slowly walked forward and placed his hand on the old man's forehead.

“You’ve had it tough too, so just go and travel with your grandson.”

With a burst of energy, the old man's body collapsed like a fragile shell, turning into a pile of white ash.

After doing all this, Dou Tang took out a notebook from his pocket, and the illusory shadows disappeared.

He started writing it down, talking to himself.

"The Liu family of Huaibei, the Gray Man Technique..."

He glanced back at the vengeful spirit of the little child still trapped in the house and shook his head.

"...the lineage has been severed."

Chapter 99 He is slowly becoming another person

The dream abruptly ended, and when Huaiyin woke up, she found that it was already daylight outside.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself being held in Dou Tang's arms. His pajamas were a little loose, revealing some of his chest skin.

There, the spiderweb-like wounds were slowly fading, which instantly brought Huaiyin back to her senses.

She had seen Dou Tang's body countless times, and the two of them slept in each other's arms every night. She was very certain that Dou Tang did not have these marks on his body yesterday.

Those scars throbbed like veins, slowly fading away until only faint marks remained.

Even though only a faint mark remained, it still existed, making Huaiyin feel that the man in front of her was undergoing some kind of change that she was unaware of.

Those scars belong to Mr. Ren, to Ren Doutang, not to Kiryu Doutang. What does it mean that those scars are on his body now?

She tugged slightly at Dou Tang's collar, feeling as if something was drifting away from her.

He is becoming another person, body and all.

She knew very well what was leaving her behind—her real brother… Now, his body was also slowly dissipating, and this body was slowly transforming into Ren Doutang instead of Kiryu Doutang.

Her brother's last remaining possessions were slowly dying, making room for the new brother.

But Kiryu Toudou loved her. He was the kind of person who, after a fight, would drag his tired body, with bandages on his wounds, and throw away all his pride, still awkwardly sneak into a cake shop that only young girls would go into to buy her a cake to take home.

Ren Doutang... He was different. He was like a passive responder to Huaiyin, like the one who ended her life. He never refused her requests, but he never let Huaiyin feel his truly passionate and intense love.

He was even the kind of person who could coldly tear apart and beat to death the souls of an entire village.

In the past, Huaiyin always told herself that both Kiryu Tou-tang and Ren Tou-tang in front of her loved her. However, Huaiyin was at an age where she was very sensitive, and Tou-tang's silent love made her feel insecure and made it difficult for her to feel his good intentions.

The two of them were always laughing when they were together. Huaiyin would laugh because of Doutang's heroic actions and his always-helpful attitude towards her, and Doutang would laugh because of Huaiyin's smile.

But in the end, what's the point of two people huddling together for warmth, especially when they might end up... killing each other?

Thinking of this, Huaiyin still felt an unavoidable pang of sadness, her nose immediately turned red, and she snuggled closer to Doutang in discomfort.

Dou Tang woke up, his voice a little hoarse, and gently stroked and combed Huaiyin's long hair with his large hand, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Huaiyin sniffed, wanting to ask him what it felt like to personally kill the souls of an entire village, whether he felt sad, and how it differed from killing those harmful evil spirits.

But she didn't dare ask, afraid that Dou Tang would coldly say something like "there's no difference."

"I'm fine..." That was all she could say.

"Hmm." Dou Tang responded softly, then said, "This morning is free time. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Huaiyin rubbed against his clothes: "I don't know, I don't know what's fun here... Let's go ask Kume-neechan."

"it is good."

Dou Tang responded indifferently as always.

With.

The two got up and quickly washed up. Dou Tang changed into a black outfit, which, combined with the long gown, made him look like a model with a cool and aloof style. It seems that he can't change this style of dressing.

But Huaiyin thought Doutang looked quite handsome in Tang suits. In his dreams, he always dressed simply and looked very inconspicuous, but now he was showing off his talents.

The two went downstairs. The kitchen and dining room of the house were connected. Breakfast was served continuously until 9:30 in the morning, and anyone who came could eat.

However, many students were clearly not interested and ran out to the city for breakfast. Since Kamogawa City is not a tourist destination and has a good public safety record, Ms. Kyoko did not stop them.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Nagaibuki was having breakfast with the Hayakawa sisters and chatting.

Upon seeing Tou Tang enter, Chang Yichui greeted him: "Good morning, Kiryu-kun, Kiryu-neechan."

The Hayakawa sisters also greeted them.

Dou Tang nodded in greeting, and then said, "So you're friends?"

Nagai was speechless, looking somewhat embarrassed, before shaking his head.

"Kiryu-kun, to be precise, we're classmates in the same class. It would be strange if we weren't friends, right?"

Mizue rested her chin on her hand, making a clattering sound with her chopsticks, and laughed, "Hahaha, Kiryu-kun talks so strangely! He doesn't sound like a delinquent at all."

“I wasn’t originally.” After asking the kitchen for two breakfasts, the Kiryu siblings sat down next to the three of them. Tou Tang continued, “Speaking of which, did you just get up?”

Mizue, being more outgoing, chimed in, "No, Nagatoshi got up a long time ago. He's waiting for us to go up the mountain together. What are Kiryu-kun's plans for this morning?"

"I was planning to look for Kume-kun, but it seems she's already left." Tou Tang picked up his soup bowl and stirred the miso soup that was about to settle. Across from him, Huaiyin was doing the exact same thing.

After some conversation, Dou Tang learned that Kume Chika was going to the beach to continue filming an advertisement this morning and had left early in the morning.

Meanwhile, Nagaibuki and the other two planned to walk along the main road of Kamogawa City into the mountains to see what the famous temples and shrines of Kamogawa City looked like, and they planned to have lunch on the mountain.

Since Huaiyin already knew the Hayakawa sisters, Doutang asked Huaiyin if she wanted to go. Huaiyin thought for a moment and finally shook her head.

Although she really wanted to see what would happen when Dou Tang encountered those shrines and temples, she decided against it given what happened yesterday.

Seeing her refuse, Dou Tang simply shook his head and said, "Since Huaiyin doesn't plan to go out, then forget it. Sorry, everyone."

Mizue chuckled, "Kiryu-kun really is a siscon."

Dou Tang remained silent as always, seemingly oblivious to what was happening.

Breakfast time ended quickly, and Doutang took Huaiyin out into the streets, wandering aimlessly around Kamogawa City, while the other three took a bus up the mountain.
