Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 146

Dou Tang had expected him to retaliate, but the old man seemed to know his limits and chuckled, saying, "Not at all, Mr. Ren, I said these things because you are so good at hiding yourself."

“This old man is not some idiot who has no sense of propriety, but even though this old man has seen countless monsters, he has never seen anyone like you who has such a restrained aura as an ordinary person.”

"How about... Mr. Ren let this old man have a look?"

Dou Tang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around.

"it's here?"

"Right here, is that not allowed?"

"There are no enemies here... how can we get to know them?"

There are no enemies, yet you want to see my skills. Do you expect Dou Tang to stand still and demonstrate his moves like a waiter?

This is still a provocation, but in a more subtle way.

Dou Tang felt increasingly disdainful.

"But since you've said so, Mikazuki, go, stay far away."

Mikazuki jumped out of Toudou's arms, cast a pitying glance at Nurarihyon, and slowly left the hall. But Yoshiko outside the hall seemed uneasy, standing there motionless.

Dou Tang lowered his eyes and looked at Nurarihyon.

"call--"

Dou Tang's eyes blazed with two points of blue flame as he stared at Nurarihyon.

Nurarihyon's eyes widened in disbelief and surprise: "Oh... wow, those ghostly eyes, Mr. Ren, is this your secret weapon... You're just an ordinary person, yet you possess ghostly eyes?"

Dou Tang smiled dismissively.

Chapter 39 Sudden Outbreak

Dou Tang sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands on his knees, like a seated Buddha, his eyes burning with blue flames, and the resentment on his body gradually dissipated.

"Whoohoo-"

Thick, black resentment, visible to the naked eye, slowly released and flowed across the ground like real smoke, yet carrying a chilling coldness.

Nurarihyon's eyes widened instantly, he stopped smoking, and became somewhat flustered.

"Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Ren..."

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the paper door next to him. A white figure burst out of the paper door, wielding a samurai sword, and slashed at Dou Tang's head.

Dou Tang turned his head slightly and extended his hand.

"

Clang! Sizzle—"

Dou Tang first caught it with his hand, but the collision between his palm and the sharp longsword produced a metallic clanging sound. Then, the white-robed evil spirit tried to draw the sword, but Dou Tang gripped the blade tightly with his hand. The longsword made a hissing sound and then stopped completely, unable to be drawn even an inch.

"There's a yokai with a sword hiding behind the door, Nurarihyon. Is this how the great yokai of Tokyo treat their guests? Very good."

"If I'm not strong enough, do you want to cut off my head and offer it to Taira no Masakado?"

After speaking coldly, Dou Tang looked at the monster in white kimono in front of him.

The monster before him had white eyebrows, eyes, and hair, and with its white kimono, it looked like the embodiment of snow, reminding Dou Tang of the Yuki-onna (snow woman) in Japanese legend.

But the monster in front of them was male. Although he looked thin, his expression was heroic and murderous.

Dou Tang leaped up, gripping the blade of the longsword with one hand, and slapped the white-clad man's chest with the other.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, the white-clad man was forced back several steps without any chance to resist, and the long sword fell into Dou Tang's hands.

Dou Tang gripped the hilt of the knife and made a slashing motion. The blade sliced ​​through the air with a buzzing sound. The part of the blade that Dou Tang had gripped tightly before was now covered with scratches, and the edge was also slightly damaged.

Ignoring the white-clad man on the ground clutching his chest and struggling in excruciating pain, Dou Tang looked at Nurarihyon beside him with icy eyes.

“I thought we might be able to cooperate before, but now… Nurarihyon, you should understand very well what the price is for a failed assassination.”

He stepped forward, brandishing his long sword, and grinned maliciously: "Blame it on you for hiring a third-rate assassin. Now, there's no room for negotiation. Either you obediently hand over the information I want, or I'll just kill you and further enhance my reputation."

"Mr. Ren, please stop!"

Suddenly, the voice of the cat demon Yizi came from behind. Dou Tang turned around and saw that Yizi was already holding Mikazuki, with her other hand around Mikazuki's neck.

"Miss Mikazuki is no match for me. If you don't want Miss Mikazuki to die, please put down your sword."

"Do you threaten me?"

"No, I wouldn't dare... I just want to have a proper talk with you. Please believe us, Xueqing... he just acted on impulse."

When these words were spoken, Yi Zi couldn't believe it. She had already cursed that half-demon named Xue Qing dozens of times in her heart, but now she had no better solution.

Dou Tang scoffed and shouted at Mikazuki, "Mikazuki, I'll tell Huaiyin that you were hit by a truck and died. Don't worry, I'll buy you the best cemetery plot in Tokyo and bury you according to the most expensive human standards. That'll be a proper funeral."

Mikazuki screamed, "Hey! You bastard! Why did you have to make it based on my death?! Meow!"

Yizi was clearly panicked, grabbing Mikazuki's throat and stammering, "You, you don't care about your companion's life or death?! I really will kill her!"

Dou Tang laughed loudly: "There are no cowards in my Ren family! We will never be threatened! We will never bow our heads, we would rather die! I am like this, and so is Mikazuki, my cat!"

"I'm not your cat, meow! I want to live! I haven't lived enough yet! Please, can't you think of me for once?!"

At this moment, Nurarihyon slowly said, "Mr. Ren, please, please stop. We can still talk. This is because the old man failed to discipline his subordinates properly! We are willing to compensate!"

Dou Tang immediately turned around: "How will you compensate me?"

...?

Nurarihyon hadn't expected him to be so straightforward. The flattering words he was about to say were swallowed back down. He swallowed hard and said, "Information, information on Taira no Masakado, and information on Kujira no Kami, this old man can give you all of them."

Dou Tang smiled with satisfaction, but then took out a candy from his pocket and pondered for a moment.

"call!"

In an instant, he stepped on the earth with a thud and arrived in front of Nurarihyon with lightning speed. He shoved the candy in his hand directly into the other's mouth, then pinched his throat and tightened and loosened it. Due to the instantaneous feeling of his throat being blocked, Nurarihyon involuntarily swallowed, and then his face turned ashen.

He ate the candy.

Dou Tang's series of actions were extremely fast, so fast that Yi Zi didn't have time to react. After all, no one expected that just when they were about to start negotiating again, he would suddenly launch another attack.

"What I'm feeding you is something that can control you. It will stick directly to your body, and you can't remove it by any means, or... it will kill you."

Although he didn't know that the Mr. Ren in front of him was Fall Guy, Nurarihyon frowned and felt the resentment on the Fall Guy that was releasing a slight presence in his body, and believed Dou Tang's words.

"This is the first time the old man has ever been caught up in something like this..." he sighed.

"That's because you underestimated me, Nurarihyon. You made the mistake of empiricism, thinking that I only subdued a few ordinary people and that was no big deal."

Despite being extremely annoyed, Nurarihyon, being a seasoned veteran, quickly changed his mood and said, "Alright, then I'll cooperate with you for now. But let me make this clear: if you try to betray me after I've served my purpose, this old man will risk my life to make you a thorn in the side of all the yokai."

"I've always treated my partners well, unless they betray me." Dou Tang planted his longsword in the ground, indicating that he would no longer make a move.

Nurarihyon sighed, looked at Yoshiko, and said, "Alright, Yoshiko, put Mikazuki down."

He looked again

He said to Xueqing, who was lying on the ground, "Stop pretending to be dead, get up, you ungrateful bastard."

The male demon named Xueqing then got up from the ground, knelt down, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, Grandpa."

Nurarihyon grunted, picked up the pipe from the ground and continued smoking. After exhaling a puff of white smoke, he said, "Yukiharu's swordsmanship and strength are among the best in Tokyo's yokai, but I didn't expect the gap between her and Mr. Ren to be so large."

"Even the precious sword Naipo Jiu cannot cut through flesh, so perhaps Mr. Ren does indeed have the strength to challenge Taira no Masakado."

After confirming that Yi Zi had released Sankazuki, Dou Tang knelt down again and smiled.

Mikazuki rushed over and hid in his arms, secretly biting Toudou's stomach when no one could see.

Dou Tang remained smiling, his expression unchanged.

Chapter 40 Information obtained

Nurarihyon, who was able to establish himself among the monsters with his wisdom, was not simple, but he still overplayed his hand and paid the price for his contempt. Most importantly, he never expected that his capable subordinates and his most precious sword would not last a single round against Toudou.

Nurarihyon asked in confusion, "Mr. Ren, Nebaka is the strongest treasured sword in my collection, and Yukiharu is my proud adopted son, whose strength is comparable to that of a great demon. Why did he lose to you so quickly? Why was someone as powerful as you previously unknown in Tokyo?"

Dou Tang chuckled lightly: "If I were to be an enemy of Taira no Masakado, such strength would be necessary, but reputation... Nurarihyon, is reputation even useful?"

"If you look down on me because I am not famous, then it is time for you to suffer, and you have already experienced it."

Nurarihyon laughed heartily and said, "You're right, Mr. Ren. Well then... let this old man tell you about Taira no Masakado and the matter of Tsunematsu!"

"Wait a minute, before that," Dou Tang said, raising his hand. "I have another question."

“Nurarihyon, if I don’t win this match, but instead we cooperate as equals, what benefits will you get after I defeat Taira no Masakado? I need to know why you decided to meet me in the first place.”

Nurarihyon put down his pipe and laughed, "Ah, Mr. Ren, you really are a good person, thinking of your partners."

"Then this old man will not be afraid to tell you, to be honest, the appearance of Taira no Masakado is not a good thing for the monsters of Tokyo."

"A historically notorious rebel monster, arrogant and domineering, and associated with the so-called legend of the Sanzu River. Just hearing about these characteristics is enough to give you a headache."

He tapped the ash from his cigarette into the jade bowl beside him and continued, "Times have changed. Now, many monsters aren't brainless; they all want to live peaceful lives. But what did Taira no Masakado do when he came back? Not only did he form cliques, but he also established an organization that interferes in the ordinary world. What era does he think we live in now? Does he still think it's Edo?"

"Tokyo today cannot accommodate a Mount Oe."

Upon hearing Nurarihyon's words, Toudou thoughtfully replied, "So, that's why you hope to see someone who can rebel against Taira no Masakado appear, like me."

"But aren't you afraid that I'll become the next Taira no Masakado?"

"Excuse me for speaking frankly, Mr. Ren doesn't seem like such an ambitious person." Nurarihyon looked at Dou Tang and continued, staring into his eyes, "Mr. Ren, although I underestimated you before, one of the main reasons why this old man underestimated you was the feeling you gave off."

"Arrogant, aloof, and somewhat eccentric, you don't seem like an ambitious person at all."

Dou Tang rubbed Mikazuki's head without replying.

"Alright, Mr. Ren, enough of the small talk. Let this old man tell you what you need to do to fight against Taira no Masakado."

………………

An hour later, Toudou left the Nurarihyon mansion with Mikazuki.

We have obtained the information about the headless one.

The Kou-on-no-kami is an organization that was quickly established after Taira no Masakado's return. Under Taira no Masakado, there are three great yokai who manage it.

Great demon Maolang, Rin-yūdō, and Gou-chō.

Even Nurarihyon didn't know what kind of monster Maolang was.

Both the Wheel of Enlightenment and the Void Trial are quite famous.

The Wheel Nyūdō looks like a head tied to the middle of a wheel, and it likes to eat the souls of young women.

The filthy creature, according to legend, often appears in bathrooms and likes to lick the dirt on the bathtub or bathroom walls, but the places it licks become dirtier and dirtier.

Although both Rin-yūdō and Gokkō are famous yokai, they were not powerful before. Their sudden rise was entirely due to Taira no Masakado.

It is said that Taira no Masakado mastered the method to reach the Sanzu River, and Rin-yūdō and Kakujō thus gained power from the Sanzu River, becoming exceptionally strong.

But there is no information about Maolang. Nurarihyon even suspects that Maolang is not a monster but an evil spirit, or even... an ordinary person.

There is a lot of other scattered information about the head of the Juu-yin clan, including several important strongholds, and the location of Taira no Masakado was also given to Dou-tang.

At this time, Taira no Masakado was located in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, three blocks away from Toshima Ward, where Todo was located.

Taira no Masakado's main base is in Edogawa Ward, but the hand of the Kubinashi has already reached Shinjuku Toshima, which has encroached on Todo's territory.

Yes, territory.

Shibuya Ward, Shinjuku Ward, Toshima Ward—they've all unknowingly revolved around Todoroki.

Hoshigito's Morning Star Group is based in Shibuya and Toshima wards.

Then there are the underlings of Dou Tang and the Bald Head Group, and Shinjuku Ward, which is sandwiched between Shibuya and Toshima, has also been affected without realizing it.

Although no one believes that the Morning Star Group and the Bald Delinquents will become the true overlords of the three districts, Dou Tang will definitely know what will happen in these three districts.

A network of influence spanning the three wards of Tokyo has begun to take shape.

Next, Dou Tang plans to use Nurarihyon's abilities to begin infiltrating the world of ordinary people into the world of the extraordinary.

On his way home, Dou Tang dialed Xing Yiren's number.

"The righteous man."

"Kiryu-kun, what's wrong?"
