Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 63

It's like... a phantom you catch a glimpse out of the corner of your eye, a black human body that seems to exist in the corner of a dark room, a strange gaze coming from behind, and a sound you hear in the dead of night.

Ito the Great God and Fall Guys went from being swaggering evil spirits to supernatural phenomena that cause nightmares but whose truths remain elusive.

This may explain to some extent why there are not many eyewitness accounts of various supernatural phenomena and evil spirits. The aura surrounding these strange beings will cover them up, just like the damp evil spirit that attacked Lu Zizhen and the others. Before getting close to their target, they will intentionally or unintentionally hide themselves.

………………

"So, you can control the siren head?"

Lu Zizhen, soaked by the rain, looked wearily at Priest Ito.

The siren continued to wail, as if calling for something.

The noise was so loud that Lu Zizhen could only try to understand what Priest Ito was saying by reading his lips.

“No.” Priest Ito shook his head: “I simply discovered it and then went with the flow, that’s all.”

"For some unknown reason, they appeared deep in the mountains of Kamo River City, and were..."

He pointed to the torii gate: "It's blocked by this shrine."

"What I need to do is awaken the Ito Okami and destroy this place so that Siren Head can descend the mountain. Why are these evil spirits from urban legends appearing in Kamogawa City? And why is the legend of the Ito Okami true?"

He sneered, "Miss Lu, aren't these exciting! These evil secrets, the events that have happened in this world over the past year, are all fascinating."

A paranoid madman...

Where did this guy come from? Why haven't I heard of him before? How long has he been lying in wait here?

Lu Zizhen shook her head, realizing she had been blinded by her past life and had acted rashly this time.

But some of his strength has been restored, so there might still be a chance.

Dou Tang is on his way. The voice we heard earlier must have been his. As long as we can stall until he arrives, everything will be fine.

Lu Zizhen had enough confidence in Dou Tang, after all, he was the person she had chosen.

She stood up, supporting herself with her sword, and swung her two swords with a series of flourishes, creating two curtains of water. Then she said, "So what are you waiting for now?"

"Waiting for more... viewers."

He waved his fan, took a step back, and smiled mysteriously: "This battle should be a grand affair, Miss Lu. Please take the first-class seats."

"The advantage of first class is..."

"Yes...you still have a chance to stop Siren Head from coming down the mountain, as long as you keep an eye on these five torii gates."

"And I am going down the mountain, where an entire city awaits my awakening."

Echoing his chilling words, the black paper figures surrounded him and pulled him into the darkness.

The only bald man standing among the ordinary exorcists, Aida Gaku, stared wide-eyed.

How to revitalize the city?

Aida Gaku looked at his companions on the ground. Many of them were acquaintances of his, and some were even related by blood. Now they were all lying on the ground in agony, their cold blood smearing the blue bricks in front of the shrine.

Using this method? He's going to create chaos in the city!

Just then, the sound of sirens wailed again from the mountains behind the shrine.

How many siren heads are there?

Aida Gaku and Ryūko Sada dared not think any further.

Lu Zizhen gave a wry smile: "Baldy, it seems our exorcism has completely failed. This is no longer the time for struggling to survive in a horror game."

"But when you're in a shonen manga and you're the one turning the tide, would you choose to back down?"

Perhaps Aida Gaku is the kind of guy who talks nonsense when he's drunk.

Perhaps many of those lying on the ground are just seeking fame and fortune, which is why they are so powerless in front of Priest Ito.

Perhaps the monk hadn't yet accepted the unfolding events that resembled a comic book plot.

But when he heard Lu Zizhen's question, he suddenly shuddered.

Aida Gaku's eyes lost focus, and he just stared stubbornly, rain streaming down his raincoat.

He suddenly threw his raincoat aside, and the eerie green light from the offerings on his gauntlets shone brightly.

Dressed in monk's robes, he smeared his bald head like a gangster, gritting his teeth tightly.

This is no longer the time for the suspense and fear of horror games.

“Miss Lu, my nephew, my temple, and everything in this world are located at the foot of this mountain.”

How can I back down?

Lu Zizhen sighed.

She hates seeing this situation the most, and she hates seeing a powerless person hoping to turn everything around with insignificant strength.

I dislike the aura emanating from this bald man even more.

Chapter 119 Grand Opening

Chinatsu Kume pulled Ayane along, and they ran towards the house in a bit of a panic.

What Kume Chika had just witnessed was beyond her capacity to bear. She could only try her best to maintain her composure and pull Ayane home as quickly as possible.

The Fall Guys reappeared, and she saw them again.

Even though she knew it was probably not a threat to people, its terrifying aura still sent chills down her spine.

The first time I saw Fall Guys, it was eerie and terrifying. Their appearance, as if they had stepped out of a dreamy fairy tale but were filled with deep hatred and resentment, was... chilling.

The second time, it was still the same terror, fierce and unpredictable, but it lacked some of the horror.

But today's events have only deepened my fear.

The sight of that tall, black man made Chinatsu Kume wonder if it was becoming more and more like a human. And where did that human-like appearance come from?

What is it struggling with?

That eerie appearance seemed to belong to a different world.

Similarly, Fall Guys doesn't resemble him either.

Two beings, seemingly from another world, fought on the beach, and then the pile of bones slowly formed a giant skeletal beast.

The two creatures let out deafening roars and howls, then rushed towards the mountains, gradually turning into thick, inky black shadows.

This scene was truly horrifying.

This was not the terrifying experience I had before involving vengeful spirits and ghosts. The fear of vengeful spirits stemmed from the unknown and darkness, and the elusive vengeful spirits brought people a mysterious and unpredictable fear.

This kind of fear is more direct, more brutal, and more violent.

You know you can't beat it; it's unstoppable, born from fantasy, appearing in a way that's completely contrary to your values, possessing power that even vengeful spirits and ghosts can't resist.

But what to say...

It's definitely not as scary as a vengeful spirit.

But I'm still very scared, especially since there's someone else with me.

Holding onto Huaiyin's hand, Kume Chinatsu took a deep breath. The cold rain made her hands icy cold, and she could hardly tell whether she was actually holding Huaiyin's hand.

Huaiyin squeezed her fingers: "Kume-neechan, let's go back first..."

"Okay, okay, let's go back first."

Chinatsu Kume shivered. The rain was getting heavier instead of lighter, and the faint sound of police sirens in the distance enveloped the entire city in an eerie atmosphere.

This reminded her of the horror game Siren she had played before, where the town was as cold and terrifying as Kamogawa City was now, with countless zombies transformed from humans lurking and ready to kill all normal people at any moment.

The two turned a corner and returned to the front door of the house.

The house is located in a relatively remote area, backed by the mountainous area north of Kamogawa City, with open fields to the west, and Kamogawa City's main road in the middle of the fields.

At that moment, Ms. Kyoko was standing at the door, anxiously holding her phone.

Upon seeing the two, she quickly rushed out from under the eaves with an umbrella, and...

Chinatsu Kume and Ayane embraced each other.

"Where did you two go?! Your teacher was so worried..."

Being held in someone's arms, Huaiyin struggled a little uncomfortably, but the warm embrace eventually made her blink and stay obediently in place.

Chinatsu Kume shuddered and said, "Kyoko-sensei, I wanted to go find Kiryu-kun, but... but I couldn't find him..."

"Why didn't you tell the teacher about this!" she complained, her voice tinged with concern, as she tugged at Kume Chinatsu's clothes. "You didn't wear a coat or use an umbrella! Did you want to catch a cold?!"

"Get in the house quickly!"

The two entered the house shivering. Kume Chinatsu quickly changed into some heavy clothes and wrapped a towel around her head. The group went to the living room of the house and found that most of the students were awake and were sitting there restlessly.

Upon seeing the two enter, Nagaibuki, who had been standing by the French windows looking out at the heavy rain, quickly turned and walked over, asking with some concern, "Kume-kun, Kiryu-chan... where's Kiryu-kun?"

"We couldn't find him..." Kume Chinatsu hugged her arms dejectedly and lowered her head.

"The phone is out of service. Where did he go..." Ms. Kyoko frowned.

Huaiyin looked timidly at these people who cared about Doutang, and couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.

The thing they encountered before was far beyond their comprehension. Huaiyin recognized that it was probably related to the legend of Ito-sama, but she knew nothing else about it.

Ms. Kyoko bit her lip and said, "Maybe we should call the police. That's the only way..."

Call the police?

Even though Huaiyin was very worried, she knew that calling the police wouldn't help at all, so she quickly shook her head: "Wait, teacher..."

The girl, who had been silent since leaving Doutang, suddenly spoke up, puzzling everyone else. Teacher Xingzi asked in confusion, "Huaiyin... what's wrong?"

Huaiyin thought for a moment, then said in a soft voice, "Um... I know my brother is alright, there's no need to call the police, he'll be back soon, really..."

Kaguya Chinatsu then added, "But didn't you say he went to the beach, Ayane-nee? But when we went to the beach, we only saw... we didn't see anything at all!"

Huaiyin was somewhat embarrassed and fell silent. She really didn't know how to handle this situation. After leaving Doutang, she was just a shy and timid girl.

He was fighting outside, and I couldn't even cover for him...

Just then, Mizuki, who was standing by the French windows, suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, it looks like something new has come out again!"

After the students got up, they had been observing the strange phenomena in the vicinity, from the thunder in the sky to the eerie sound of police sirens, and the huge black phantom on the main road outside. They were all present, and the most mysterious huge phantom became the topic of conversation.

Ruizhi frowned and continued looking outside. She saw something...

"There's a priest in white robes getting soaked in the rain outside!"

The priest, Ito, was soaked by the rain; his white priestly robes had long since turned a wet, dark white. He waved his folding fan, and shadows danced around him like fluttering black silk.

Those were black paper figures.

With a wave of his hand, the paper figures scattered and flew out like flying blades, scattering across the entire city.

Ruizhi also noticed the black paper figures, one of which flew right up to the French windows.

The paper figure stuck to the windowpane, then began to tremble like a creature of fire.

"boom!"

The small piece of glass shattered into pieces, and Ruizhi screamed, taking several steps back.

The explosion was insignificant, but enough to rouse those who wanted to stay home back out.

The sounds of rain, sirens, and now, numerous explosions, filled the air.

All the houses in the suburbs were awakened by the paper shikigami of Priest Ito, and the lights scattered in the fields were like light boats drifting on a river.

This is the stage that this mysterious person wanted.

He wanted ordinary people in Kamogawa City to witness the clash between the new era and the old.

...As for that strange slur that rang out along with Ito-sama?

He didn't care.

Take one day off

I haven't been feeling well physically or mentally lately, and I've often mentioned it in the book club group. I feel like I need to take care of myself.

I need to take a day off. Something happened today, and my head is all foggy.

I've let everyone down a bit in the first half of the month; I haven't been updating regularly and even took two days off.
