Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 190

Ah-ji, who was standing nearby, reminded him, "We're not monsters anymore. We're no different from humans. We still need to be careful when we go out."

Shuangya, wearing red rabbit ears, sat down silently to the side, gazing calmly at the river.

“You guys say…” Suddenly, Shuangya spoke up.

Will that cat demon come back to help us?

Upon hearing this, all four fell silent.

Seeing that his companions were all silent, Shuangya seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he hugged his legs and remained silent, just continuing to stare at the river.

“There’s nothing wrong with being human,” A-Tian said, breaking the awkward silence. “Putting everything else aside, it’s much more convenient to buy things. Next, I plan to save up some money to buy a Kamen Rider belt to play with.”

Xiao Qin looked at the money in his hand and laughed: "Perhaps I'll buy a game console?"

"But no matter what, the Strongman Village will not fall apart, whether it's deep in the mountains of Hokkaido or in Tokyo."

Xiao Qin laughed, put one hand on his hip and continued, "Wherever the five of us are, that's where the Mighty Men's Village is."

Kenny calmly retorted, "Have you ever considered that perhaps it was because of our lousy name that that female cat demon left?"

Xiao Qin immediately straightened his face: "Women will only slow down my slacking off."

Chapter 126 Shocking! It's a muscular man!

Mikazuki changed his clothes, sat on the floor mat, and ate the snacks that Kawana had bought.

"So this is what potato chips taste like. Why didn't you let me eat them before, Dou Tang?"

Dou Tang sighed and touched his forehead: "You were a cat back then. Too much salt is bad for a cat's health."

Huaiyin was busy in the kitchen, standing on tiptoe. Hearing this, she turned around and said, "Yeah, yeah, it's not good for cats to eat salt. Now that you've become a human, of course you can eat other things."

“However…” Huaiyin glanced at Mikazuki’s figure, which was far superior to her own, and snorted, “Why is his body so mature…”

Mikazuki licked his lips and said, "Please, I'm several decades old. If you convert it by lifespan, I'm probably several hundred years old in human terms."

"If someone hundreds of years old is still inferior to a young girl like you, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

Huaiyin snorted again, turned her head to cook, and ignored Mikazuki.

Dou Tang sat on the sofa and looked at Mikazuki, saying, "Continue, why is this ability to turn monsters into humans so dangerous?"

Mikazuki licked his fingers again, making a smacking sound, and then said seriously, "Of course it's dangerous, Tou-tang. Think about it carefully. This ability represents more than just turning monsters into humans."

"What if a heinous monster, wanted by the entire world, were turned into a human by this ability?"

Dou Tang understood what she meant and frowned deeply, saying, "It will be impossible for anyone to find it, and it will live in anonymity... All that it did before will be wiped out."

Mikazuki snapped his fingers.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. In this way, monsters who have committed crimes or have enemies can perfectly hide their identities. This is an incredible thing.”

But she held up another finger and said, "But that's not all."

“Think about it, I used to be a monster.” Mikazuki pinched the soft flesh on his arm, a lingering sorrow between his brows. “But after becoming human, I have no power at all. Even my physical abilities are only slightly above the human limit. This kind of weakening is simply unacceptable to me.”

"What if it wasn't me, but someone else who encountered this? If those great demons with beast bodies were turned into humans like this, wouldn't their abilities also disappear?"

Mikazuki's gaze was intense, even a little too sharp, carrying a murderous intent: "Think about it, Tou-tang, in this case, all the beast-shaped monsters might be in danger."

"For monsters, becoming weak means death."

Dou Tang nodded and said, "I understand the seriousness of the matter. So, what do you think we should do next?"

Mikazuki said, "We... should go to Nerima Ward first. There are a few youkai there who were turned into humans along with me. We need to find them first to get more information."

Dou Tang asked curiously, "What about the person who turned you into this? Don't you remember?"

Mikazuki shook his head and said, "I was dragged into it at the time. I originally just wanted to watch your battle end and then leave."

"As a result, they ran into those monsters. They seemed to have originally been Taira no Masakado's people. They got into a conflict with someone while fleeing and offended someone who possessed this ability."

"As for myself... I just saw a flash of white light and then I turned into human form. It's a very strange ability."

Dou Tang pressed further, "A flash of white light, and then you instantly transformed into a human? Didn't you feel the transformation process at all?"

“No.” Mikazuki shook his head again. “Absolutely not.”

It seems that Mikazuki is just an unlucky guy who got caught up in this mess. He doesn't have much information himself. If we want to find clues about his transformation ability, we still need to find those monsters.

"Can you still find those monsters?" Dou Tang asked.

Mikazuki nodded and said, "Ah, that's no problem. I know where they are."

Then, she looked troubled and said, "But... I have to tell you in advance, they're acting a bit strange..."

"Strange? What part is strange?"

"His tone of voice is strange... slow and hesitant, with occasional confusing words," Mikazuki said, kneading the bag of potato chips in his hand.

"Also... there are five of them in total, and they call themselves... Mighty Men's Village."

...Heroic Man Village?

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow.

Could it be the one I'm thinking of?

After eating the breakfast prepared by Huaiyin, the three of them headed to Nerima Ward.

Since Mikazuki had no identification, the three of them couldn't risk taking the train that might check IDs, so they took a taxi to Nerima Ward.

Throughout the journey, Mikazuki was quite restless. It was clear that even after three days, she was still not familiar with life as a human. She kept rubbing against Huaiyin beside her and occasionally tried to snuggle into Toudou's arms, but Huaiyin stopped her each time.

After squeezing through the morning rush hour traffic for more than an hour, the three of them finally arrived at Nerima Ward.

Guided by Mikazuki, the three quickly found the river bridge where the five men from Mengnan Village were located.

When Dou Tang saw Xiao Qin sitting by the river eating KFC fried chicken, he finally couldn't hold back his urge to complain and blurted out, "Holy crap, where did this dog come from?"

Little Qin, with chicken in his mouth, looked around: "Hmm? Where's the dog?"

Dou Tang immediately pointed and said, "You're the Red Scarf Dog Demon who ran away that night, aren't you!"

The meat in Xiao Qin's mouth fell into the fried chicken bucket with a thud. He said incredulously, "No way, you can recognize this?"

He quickly stood up and ran towards the tarpaulin tent, shouting, "Help! Help!"

Kenny and the others emerged from the tent, and were immediately astonished.

That night, they had felt Dou Tang's murderous aura up close, so their first thought was that Dou Tang had come to kill them all, and they immediately assumed a fighting stance.

Only Xiao Qin was unarmed. He approached Aji in a panic and asked, "Where's mine? Where's mine?"

Seeing this, Dou Tang felt a deep sense of helplessness once again.

I never expected it to be these few unorthodox monsters... They were the fastest runners during the battle the night before, and I never thought we'd still be able to talk to each other now.

But I have this feeling... they seem familiar, like we've met before... hmm, what was it again?

At this moment, Mikazuki stepped out from behind Tou Tang, waved his hand to stop Xiao Qin and the others, and said, "Wait, wait, wait, he's the helper I called!"

Xiao Qin immediately stopped stroking Aji and stared wide-eyed.

"Wow!" he exclaimed in surprise. "I never thought we'd get this kind of treatment for being traitors? The enemy leader has become an NPC on our side?"

His speech was slow and had a strange intonation, which Dou Tang found... very brainwashing.

If you hear too much of that, you might end up like that yourself... That would be too outrageous.

Chapter 127 The Macho Investigation Team Sets Off

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the group sat in the shed and talked.

Let's talk about it.

According to the dog demon Xiao Qin, that night, the five demons of Mengnan Village encountered a strange Onmyoji during their retreat. After seeing them, the Onmyoji suddenly said that he wanted to "purify" them for some reason.

The five monsters from Mengnan Village naturally assumed that the Onmyoji was about to start a fight, so they resisted. However, they were defeated in just a few moves and were even turned into humans by the Onmyoji using a strange spell.

Xiao Qin slammed his fist on the table: "What the hell is this about Onmyoji? This is unbelievable! Is this something a human could pull off? If Onmyoji had this kind of magic, wouldn't they be unstoppable by now?!"

Ah Tian, ​​standing to the side, retorted, "So you know about Onmyoji now..."

“We lost.” Kenny, the blond guy next to him, took a sip of hot tea, adjusted his monocle, and looked somewhat artistic. “All I can say is, ah, a complete and utter defeat.”

Mikazuki concluded, "Whether it's finding a way to turn us back or ensuring that this technique isn't abused, we must find that Onmyoji."

Xiao Qin seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, there's another little detail. That Onmyoji seems to be quite afraid of you."

He pointed to Dou Tang.

Dou Tang frowned immediately, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He said, "Doesn't that guy look refined and always smiling?"

Could it be... that escaped priest Ito?

Xiao Qin shook his head: "No, that guy is stern and doesn't smile much. It's like everyone owes him money."

...Could it not be Ito Shinto? Then who could it be...afraid of me? I don't think I've offended any Onmyoji or anything like that, have I?

Dou Tang rubbed his chin and muttered, "That shouldn't be the case. There doesn't seem to be any Onmyoji enemies who would be afraid of me..."

Xiao Qin shrank back. If any other exorcist had said that, he would have sneered and mocked the other person for being extremely arrogant.

But it was Dou Tang who said this... it was that Mr. Ren.

Ah, that only makes him more arrogant... After all, now both monsters and Onmyoji are starting to avoid this guy.

After all, this guy won't be swayed by any power, and his behavior is unpredictable and eccentric. Dealing with this kind of person is too difficult.

Mikazuki sat at the table to the side, crossed his legs, and looked at Toudou, saying, "Why don't we go back to the scene of the incident first? Maybe we'll find some clues."

“We fled in such a hurry that we might have left something behind,” Kenny nodded in agreement.

Dou Tang asked in confusion, "Three days have passed, what could possibly be left?"

“Traces,” Mikazuki explained. “Whenever an ability is used, it leaves a trace. It’s invisible… but people with keen senses can detect it.”

Her expression turned somewhat strange as she looked at Dou Tang and said, "However, you might be a different story. Your power is like a vacuum cleaner, capable of cleaning up all other abnormal powers."

"At least, I haven't found any similar traces in the places you've been."

Dou Tang scratched his head.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Think carefully about the evil spirits and monsters you’ve encountered. Don’t they leave something behind wherever they go?” Mikazuki prompted. “Sometimes it’s not even a physical entity, but something more subjectively perceived… like an atmosphere.”

Dou Tang frowned as he recalled something, as if he had just remembered something.

The atmosphere... the traces... whether it was Kuroki Keizaki or Ejima Iya, I had indeed felt that kind of atmosphere before.

The places that Kuroki Keisaki passed through were not just damp, but also carried a sinister chill.

Jiangdao Yizai, on the other hand, exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, the most intense of which was found in the abandoned equipment room, as evidenced by the fact that fewer and fewer people passed by the equipment room where he was hiding.

It seems... this is how demons and exorcists track each other? Whatever you do in this world will leave a trace... no one can escape accountability.

That sounds interesting.

“Let’s set off now,” Dou Tang said, standing up.

With five people from Mengnan Village plus Doutang, Huaiyin, and Sanriyue, two cars couldn't fit them all. So after some discussion, Shuangya, Aji, and Atian stayed at Mengnan Village, while only Xiao Qin and Kenny rode in one car.

However, Xiao Qin seemed a little unwilling. Even as Kenny dragged him into the car, he kept shouting, "Rua, it's time to touch, it's time to touch! Kenny, aren't you a nocturnal creature? Why are you such a masculine man during the day?!"

With his squinty eyes, Kenny forcefully dragged Xiao Qin into the car.

Five people in two cars headed to the vicinity of the Xinchuan Wastewater Treatment Plant.

At this time, the Xinchuan Sewage Treatment Plant was still cordoned off, and the five people stopped near a small park in the eastern part of the sewage treatment plant.

The place where the attack occurred was in the park. It seems that the monsters from Mengnan Village used to disguise themselves as ordinary animals and hide nearby.

But... Dou Tang thought of that chubby and simple-minded A Tian and felt a little puzzled.

How did that polar bear hide?

After getting out of the car, Xiao Qin said, "Let's go check out the place where the conflict happened. Charge!"

He seemed very excited, whether it was because he was revisiting a familiar place or something else, he rushed out with great enthusiasm.

Kenny and Dou Tang followed closely behind, arriving at a corner of the park.

There is a lot of greenery here, including several large trees, which can be considered a small scenic spot in the area. After all, in Japan, where land is extremely valuable, even a little bit of greenery is rare.

And

At this time, the green space still bears the marks of battle.
