Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 45

Ringo Shinzen continued, "Everything I told you yesterday is true! You really do have resentment on you! You must have encountered something evil recently! Let me help you!"

Dou Tang turned and left: "Sorry, I really don't need your help. I have to go to class. Goodbye!"

When she turned around, she saw that Chinatsu Kume had already arrived at the door. She had obviously heard what they had just said and was looking worried: "What? Kiryu-kun, are you being haunted by a vengeful spirit?"

The two cameramen behind him had expressions that said, "Oh my, we've captured some big news."

Being cornered on the rooftop by two girls was indeed a bit tricky.

If Ringo Shinzen were to examine Ejima Izai closely, she would surely discover that it is simply a vessel for a vengeful spirit.

"This stinky dog..." Dou Tang couldn't help but glance at the Labrador with some displeasure.

The Labrador stared wide-eyed, stuck out its tongue, and wagged its tail, looking adorably silly.

Just as Dou Tang was troubled, a cat meow came from somewhere.

Dou Tang looked up and saw the black cat at the top of the stairwell, its expression extremely human-like, seemingly enjoying Dou Tang's predicament.

When did this guy arrive?

However, the black cat also saw Dou Tang's current predicament. It immediately leaped towards the Labrador and, with a light leap, scratched the dog's face with one paw.

"Woof!" The dog let out a pitiful yelp, then realized what was happening and quickly chased after the black cat.

"Hey! Oatmeal!" Ringo Shinzen tried to chase after her, but after taking a couple of steps, she turned back and said, "Hey... you're Kiryu, right? Don't go! It'll be troublesome if you get haunted by a vengeful spirit!"

Toudou gave a perfunctory laugh, then turned to leave. Kume Chinatsu stepped forward to stop him: "Wait, Kiryu-kun, Kami-saki-san is a true shrine maiden, she can definitely help..."

"I just went downstairs to return the teaching aids. Kume, it's class time now. Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a student?"

Chapter 85 Twelve Years of Oblivion

"You have official business to attend to today, but I have classes to teach," Dou Tang said indifferently.

Chinatsu Kume froze, then, as if trying to explain, whispered, "I... I just wanted to help you..."

"I know your intentions are good. You're thinking of me and want to help me get rid of vengeful spirits through that girl, right?" Dou Tang suddenly changed his tone and asked gently.

Chinatsu Kume nodded quickly, but a bad feeling crept into her heart.

"But sometimes you have to consider other people's feelings. Have you ever thought about whether the other person actually needs your help? If the other person refuses, sometimes it's not that being kind-hearted can make you do good for others. It could also be that you're being presumptuous. Kume, you're not a presumptuous person."

Dou Tang slowly went downstairs, leaving Kume Chika and the photographer standing at the bottom of the stairs in a daze.

"That's enough for now, Kume-kun. Goodbye."

He turned and walked away, but silently pondered what he had just said.

...Maybe I've made that mistake sometimes too.

Huaiyin... Is protecting her like this really good for her?

Walking down the corridor, Ejima Iya, who was in his arms, finally dared to speak and whispered, "Kiryu-kun, you didn't seem like a student just now, but more like an old father who is experiencing an educational crisis as he enters middle age."

Dou Tang chuckled to himself.

"Perhaps... Professor Jiangdao, you really worked hard just now, not shouting or anything."

Ejima Izai laughed too: "I can't exactly kill myself, can I? If I had spoken just now, wouldn't that shrine maiden have performed a ritual to send me to the afterlife on the spot?"

Dou Tang chuckled as he played with the skull, spinning it like a basketball against the top of its skull with his finger. Jiang Daoyi immediately cried out, "Stop, stop, stop! I'm going to faint! I'm going to faint..."

"Even after becoming a vengeful spirit, you still feel dizzy?"

The two joked and went downstairs. At this time, Ms. Xingzi was standing in the corridor waiting anxiously. Her eyes lit up when she saw Dou Tang.

Dou Tang raised the skull in his hand: "Teacher, I brought back our teaching aid Mr."

Ms. Kyoko chuckled and shook her head: "Should I still call you a hero, Kiryu-kun?"

"Let's not. If I were a hero, that would be too scary."

Dou Tang knocked on the classroom glass, and the curious students inside were immediately startled and sat back down.

It's as if I'm some kind of terrifying monster...

Back in the classroom, Dou Tang put Jiang Daoyi's head back in, winked at him, and then returned to his seat.

Chinatsu Kume and Ringo Kanzaki haven't appeared again, probably busy filming commercials. It's just a mystery when these two became so close.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; both of them are simply adorable and overly kind.

When get out of class ended, Dou Tang volunteered and dragged Jiang Daoyi back...

They went to the teaching aids room.

Entering the teaching aids room and closing the door, Dou Tang sat on a discarded table and said, "Teacher Jiangdao, have you remembered anything recently?"

Jiangdao Yizai jumped down from the shelf and grabbed a white coat hanging on the movable blackboard next to him. His skeletal frame couldn't fill out the coat at all, making him look extremely strange, like a pale monster made of skin and bones.

He straightened his clothes with a rather haughty air, and the scene suddenly became very strange.

A skeleton wearing a white coat is admiring itself in the spot...

After straightening his clothes, Ejima Iya said, "Of course, I'm very concerned about how I died and why I was dismembered."

He found a chair and sat down, then slowly said, "When it was late at night, I went to the library to check, especially the school history. Although there was no record of the dismemberment incident, I found the incident that was supposedly my disappearance."

Dou Tang became interested. He had been thinking about things at school all along, but he still had no clue what to do.

As Jiangdao Yizai finished speaking, he stood up again. Taking advantage of his very thin frame, he reached his fingers into the dense pile of clutter behind him and pulled out a few sheets of paper.

"I just happened to steal it. Take a look, Kiryu-kun."

Dou Tang took the paper and began to read it.

"Disappeared without a trace? The school doctor has mysteriously disappeared from the old, closed-off school building!"

The paper contains clippings; the school history books used to record major events that occurred at the school in this way.

The clipping wasn't very long; it mainly introduced that Yiyan Private Academy had an old campus outside Tokyo, and that during the construction of the new school, the students of Yiyan Private Academy spent a year in closed-door teaching at the old campus outside Tokyo.

During this time, a school doctor mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, there were some interviews with students, and one student said that he had heard someone walking around in the middle of the night. This was the only clue.

"The old school building...Mr. Jiangdao, do you have any memories of that place?"

Ejima Izai shook his head and said, "I only remember my name and who I used to be. Everything else... I don't know anything."

Dou Tang continued flipping through the papers and said, "It seems necessary to go to the old school building. I must find out exactly what happened at the school before I dare to let my sister come to school."

Ejima Iya nodded: "Kiryu-kun, if you need any help, please come to me. I have done my best."

"I'd also like to know how I died."

He sat in the chair, suddenly shrugged, hunched his back, looked somewhat dejected, and his aura gradually dimmed.

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately, what did I do wrong to deserve this? I was dismembered and buried in every corner of the school for over a decade. What kind of cruel person could do something like this?”

"I can't even remember my past, Kiryu-kun."

Dou Tang was the only person he could confide in. The more Jiangdao Yizai wandered around the school, the more confused he became. To him, it was as simple as taking a nap.

In that moment of sleep, the world changed. The economic crisis continued to slump Japan. The new school was full of things he couldn't understand. Strangely designed televisions were brought into the classrooms. He couldn't even understand the anime the students were watching. Twelve years ago, he was watching Code Geass and Spice and Wolf, while waiting for the release of Slayers.

Now, when I woke up, Lelouch had married C.C., and Holo and Lawrence both had children.

And me? I am Ejima Izai, but what was I like before?

What about my family? What about my children? What about my former friends?

This profound uncertainty slowly evolved into despair, enveloping Ejima Izai and making it unbearable for him.

"Kiryu-san... I really want to know who I am, I really do."

Dou Tang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Professor Jiangdao, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this. Please trust me."

Ejima Iya slowly nodded, covering his face without saying a word.

Chapter 86: Entangled by Bad Guys Again

Kume Chinatsu and Kanzen Ringo did not appear. When school was over, the black cat hopped and jumped onto Tou Tang's shoulder.

"How was it? I did a pretty good job, didn't I?" it whispered in Dou Tang's ear as if seeking praise.

"Um, thank you for getting me out of that situation. But why weren't you home?"

"You think I'm your shut-in sister who stays at home all day? I'm just working with you... not your pet."

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow: "But I was thinking of buying you cat food. If you weren't a pet, I could save some money."

"Meow~ Master!"

"...Are all monsters as shameless as you?"

The black cat sneered, "If you can get good food just by acting cute with humans, only an idiot wouldn't do that kind of business."

"If cat lovers all over the world heard you say that, they would explode."

The two were bickering when Dou Tang suddenly saw a bald man shining brightly at the street corner.

You can tell at a glance that he's from Yangping.

Upon seeing Dou Tang appear, the man was clearly pleasantly surprised; it seemed he had been waiting for him.

As Dou Tang turned into the alley, the underling bowed and said, "Brother Tong Sheng!"

After saying that, he offered him a cigarette, but Dou Tang waved it away. He never smoked when he was going home at night, afraid that Huaiyin would smell the smoke.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The younger brother straightened up, glanced at the black cat on Dou Tang's shoulder, and then said, "Brother Kiryu, Yangping has made an appointment to fight someone. He said he wanted to ask if you had time to go and take a look."

Dou Tang frowned: "You want me to go and help him keep order? Fight with whom?"

"The high school next door... it wasn't that they asked you to keep watch, but someone from that school wanted to cause trouble for you, and Yangping just went up and provoked them, saying that if they wanted to find you, they should fight him first..."

...They moved quickly enough.

Dou Tang originally thought that Yang Ping would take some time to thoroughly investigate those who were targeting him, but he didn't expect that Yang Ping would take action directly while investigating.

In a couple of days it's a school trip... Perfect timing, I'll take care of those troublemakers before I leave, then I can go out with peace of mind.

If those people come to the school and find that I'm not there, the teachers will definitely cause me trouble.

Dou Tang waved his hand: "Let's go, how do we get there?"

The younger brother was overjoyed, clearly not expecting Dou Tang to go, since Dou Tang's attitude showed he didn't really want to get involved in the affairs of the Bad Guys.

He quickly nodded and bowed, "Yes, Brother Kiryu, I came by motorcycle!"

The two walked out of the alley, got on the motorcycle, and Dou Tang hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Huai Yin.

"I have to take care of something and will be back later. The cat is with me."

Huaiyin replied almost instantly, after all, she didn't have much of a social circle: "Okay, brother, I'll wait for you to come back."

Putting on his helmet, Tou Tang, holding the cat in his arms, arrived at a street on the west side of Shibuya Ward. There was a park not far away, and a little further west was Shimokitazawa Station.

The two groups agreed to fight in the park.

When Dou Tang arrived, the two sides had already started fighting. However, even when fighting among gangsters, they still tried to be reasonable. Neither side used weapons; they were fighting with their bare hands. In their view, this was the only way to truly defeat their opponent.

Dou Tang found a climbing frame made of steel pipes in the park, jumped up lightly, and sat on the frame with one foot on the side and the other dangling in the air. The black cat sat on his shoulder, watching the fight in the park with a somewhat indifferent expression.

People from Yangping are easy to spot; they all have bald heads, which gleam in the sunset and are quite eye-catching.

The situation is not bad. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Yang Ping has a significant advantage. Although he is not tall and strong, he is sturdy and powerful, and he fights with extreme frenzy. If I had to describe him...

A very spirited high school student.

Watching this group of people fight back and forth, Dou Tang felt a bit like he was watching Crows Zero.

Yang Ping leaped high into the air, stepping on a person on the ground, and knocked the person standing in front of him down with an elbow. As the person bent over, he delivered a flying knee strike, causing blood to splatter from the person's nose.

He knocked one of the men down, then wiped the mud off his face; the park grounds were quite dirty.

He looked around and suddenly saw Tou Tang sitting on the shelf. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Kiryu-nii!"

This shout startled many people, and some of them felt dissatisfied seeing Kiryu Toudou sitting so pretentiously on the shelf.

Immediately, some people started yelling and cursing.

After watching for a while, Dou Tang had had enough and decided to join the battle.

He leaped down from the height, holding the cat in his arms, and slowly stroked the black cat's back as he approached the two groups of people.
