Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

"However, there is another problem. Your friend has been severely corrupted by resentment. In the future, her health may become weaker, or even to put it bluntly, she may have a short lifespan."

“Short-lived…” Nagaibuki repeated, her feelings somewhat complicated.

Dou Tang nodded and continued, "Next, you just wait for her to wake up. It's best to go out and get her some food, hot soup, but avoid seafood and cold foods. It's best to add plenty of ginger."

"Is it okay to cook pork with ginger?" Nagaibuki asked.

"Ah."

After giving instructions on what to pay attention to, Tou Tang stood up, while Nagaibuki pointed to the precious jade candies on the bedside table and asked, "Kiryu-kun, what should we do with these precious jade candies?"

Dou Tang glanced at it and said, "You can just throw it away however you like. You can bury it in the ground or treat it as trash, as long as you don't eat it."

Nagaibuki nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Alright, now that things are settled, I'll be leaving. I still need to discuss the Baoyu sugar pills with a few people who know the details."

Nagaibuki asked curiously, "Kiryu-kun, is this matter of the precious candy pills causing a big stir in Tokyo?"

Dou Tang had already reached the door. She turned back to look at him and replied with some concern, "Indeed..."

"That's true, but... Changjun, for your own good, don't get involved."

Nagaibuki nodded deeply to indicate that he understood.

Dou Tang closed the door and took a deep breath in the corridor. Chang Yichui was undoubtedly a good person. He had already gone too far by telling him the truth about the world. Perhaps it would have been better for a kind person like him to never know anything in his life.

Dou Tang looked out the window. It was already evening, and Tokyo was deep into autumn, with a slight chill in the air.

want to go back home.

Having made up his mind, Dou Tang headed for the elevator.

………………

Lu Zizhen drove back to her residence, but as soon as she got out of the car, she sensed that something was wrong.

Perhaps it was instinct, or perhaps it was the perception formed from so many years of dangerous living, but she suddenly sensed something was wrong, coming from her surroundings.

Lu Zizhen got out of the car, took out a talisman she kept close to her body, and with a slight shake, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire.

Lu Zizhen let out a long breath, perked up, looked at the empty and damp underground parking lot in front of her, and smelled the musty smell in the air.

She cleared her throat, her voice crisp and clear: "Stop hiding. If you're here for me, you should know that I don't like beating around the bush."

The moment she finished speaking, a voice came from behind a pillar not far away, sounding like a man's voice with a pinched throat covered by a cloth.

"Giggle cluck..."

A hunched, bald young man emerged from behind a pillar. His back was bent at a ninety-degree angle, his eyes bulged as if they were about to burst out, and his ears were slightly pointed. These eerie features made him look like a little devil from a ghost story.

He smiled coldly, his round eyes fixed on Lu Zizhen's body, and licked his lips as he said, "Hehehe... Lu Zizhen, the Taoist who controls thunder, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lu Zizhen tilted her head back, her hand already gripping the hilt of her retractable sword, and said loudly, "I don't feel lucky to have met someone like you. Who are you? State your purpose."

The hunchbacked man spread his palms and chuckled, "You can probably guess what I'm here for, human. You've taken something that doesn't belong to you."

Do you really think no one noticed?

Lu Zizhen suddenly realized, but quickly chuckled and said disdainfully, "I don't think you're even human."

The hunchbacked man smiled eerily, slowly extending his hands from behind him. He pointed his index fingers at Lu Zizhen and continued, "You're right, Lu Zizhen. I am Gou Chang. Lord Ping Jiangmen has ordered me to take your life."

He spread his hands again: "This is the basement. Even if you can summon thunder, it will be of no use here. Lu Zizhen, prepare to die."

Lu Zizhen pursed her lips, flicked her wrist, and the slender blade of the sword extended from the hilt, gleaming with a cold light.

She opened the opening at the end of the hilt of the telescopic sword, stuffed a stack of talismans into it like bullets, and then said, "I'm sorry, but personally, I have absolutely no liking for perverted stalkers who camp out at other people's doorsteps."

She raised the sword as if it were a gun.

"So, you should just die already, you monster."

The next moment, a dazzling point of light flew out from the tip of the longsword. It was a talisman that had been rolled into a thin paper stick. It transformed into a bullet carrying light and wind, crackling in the air as it pierced the chest of the demon Gouchang.

The talismans shot out like bullets.

But the demon Gouchang was clearly prepared. He raised one hand, and a layer of translucent green gel-like substance suddenly condensed on his hand. He pushed the substance in front of him, and the thing floated in the air like a living creature and caught the talisman. The gel and the talisman burned together and slowly fell to the ground, turning into a fireball.

"I am a monster that licks the filth in the room, and thanks to Lord Taira no Masakado's blessing, I have gained the ability to rapidly generate filth."

The demon Gouchang triumphantly reached out and touched the top of his head in an empty gesture. Then, a golden crown appeared on his head.

Crown owner.

No wonder he has such bizarre abilities...

This was Lu Zizhen's second time facing the crown holder. She was on high alert, took out a few more talismans from her pocket and held them in her hand, while she twirled her longsword and pointed it diagonally at the ground, ready to strike.

"Ah, a longsword and talismans, what an old-fashioned combination, it doesn't match your fashionable clothes at all." The demon Gouchang rubbed his hands together, his face full of a smile that was a mixture of excitement and malice.

Lu Zizhen did not answer, but simply shook her longsword and sneered, as if teasing a dog with a bone toy.

The demon Gouchang saw the mockery in the gesture and was immediately enraged. With a wave of his hands, two clumps of dark green gel fell from his arms and sleeves and landed on the ground with a thud, like two giant slugs, wriggling and rushing towards Lu Zizhen.

Chapter 76 What's there to say about her killing someone in one move?

Seeing this, Lu Zizhen scattered the talismans in her hand. The talismans instantly turned into several balls of flame. Two balls went to the gel, while the other balls went towards Gou Chang.

Gou Chang suddenly raised his hands, and the pillar behind him suddenly...

Many grayish-black mold spots emerged, which floated in the air, accelerated along his arm, and collided with the flames of the talisman in mid-air.

Controlling mold... or something else?

Overall, it feels very tricky.

But that's okay.

Lu Zizhen took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

Gokujō seemed to be a talkative person, and was still shouting: "See that? Exorcist, even a legendary little demon can become so powerful after receiving Lord Taira no Masakado's blessing! You're just waiting to die!"

"How many more talismans do you have? I can control an endless amount of filth!"

Lu Zizhen shook her head as if looking at a pitiful creature.

She drew another extendable sword, stood still, raised her left hand halfway and her right hand above her head, the two swords extending in different directions along the direction of her arms.

With her left foot forward and right foot back, Lu Zizhen's eyes were filled with compassion, like a dancer about to begin her performance.

She raised her left hand, and the two swords clashed together with a crisp "clang!"

Two swords covered Lu Zizhen's eyes, and then slowly revealed them as the swords crossed.

A pair of indifferent, emotionless eyes appeared behind the cold glint of the longsword.

Lu Zizhen held the two swords upside down, gripping the hilts with her ring and thumb fingers, while her index and middle fingers were inserted into the pockets of her coat.

Without pausing, the filth and mold in the air suddenly intensified, making people feel itchy and nauseous.

The ground in front of him began to rapidly solidify into countless dark green gels. These gels wriggled and took shape on the ground, transforming into a semi-transparent wall that rolled towards Lu Zizhen at an extremely fast speed.

Such a magical scene would have been impossible in Tokyo a year ago. Back then, no matter how powerful an entity was, it would not have been able to accomplish such a thing.

Evil spirits and exorcists cannot control external objects, let alone make such a large object move at will.

But now, it's not just evil spirits and monsters that can do it; humans can too.

Lu Zizhen can certainly do it too.

She felt the surging power within her body, an unnamed energy. More than a year ago, even after more than a decade of research, that energy was only a thin wisp, but now... it was as powerful as a river.

Lu Zizhen's eyes lit up, and she took her hand out of her pocket.

She took out countless talismans from her pocket, and as she released her sword finger, they moved without wind, hovering in the air and quickly arranging themselves like soldiers in formation.

Lu Zizhen held the longsword upright, ran his index fingers along the blade, and then waved it towards the air in front of him.

Countless tiny drops of blood, so small they might not even fall from a needle tip, floated in the air, soaking into the talisman paper. Then, the cinnabar patterns on those dark yellow talisman papers all lit up.

Lu Zizhen finally spoke, coldly saying, "Here, the total is 5.65 million yen. This debt should be settled with Taira no Masakado."

The filthy gel wall was now close by, and the foul-smelling wall seemed to be filled with dark mold and garbage, making it look extremely disgusting.

But what it had to face was countless talismans that began to burn fiercely, covering the entire underground space like a wall of flames. The area covered by those talismans was almost twice the size of the gel wall.

"go."

Lu Zizhen spoke softly, her breathy tone making it sound like she was spitting out phlegm, expressing her disdain and contempt.

The underground parking lot rapidly heated up. Lu Zizhen pointed forward with her right hand, her blood-stained index finger pointing directly at the filth.

"Whirring whirring--"

The sound of countless talismans accelerating through the air rang out, their flames flickering as they flew, fearlessly crashing into the gelatinous wall.

"what?!"

Gou Chang let out a cry of surprise and fear, while Lu Zizhen's expression grew even colder.

The gel wall was pierced directly by countless talismans, and raging flames engulfed the gel wall. The entire dark green gel transformed into a giant fireball, which stopped in front of Lu Zizhen.

The talisman continued flying towards the filth after penetrating the gel wall.

Gou Chang didn't dare to confront him head-on again, and instead turned and ran. His hunched body looked like a chimpanzee from behind.

"Clown." Lu Zizhen cursed. The talismans continued to chase her, gradually gathering and combining to form a long, thin serpent of fire.

But at that moment, her biggest thought was actually...

Damn it, the car I just saw is gone again. I'll have to stay up all night for a while longer!

Perhaps this is what players who spend a lot of money and grind a lot are like.

Thinking of this, Lu Zizhen's brows furrowed with anger, and she suddenly jerked her arm.

"call!"

The long snake, its tongue flicking out flames, became increasingly clear as it chased after Gou Chang's rear end, its body swaying to dispel the moldy gel that Gou Chang had been manipulating.

Finally, the serpent caught up with Gou Chang, stretched out its blood-red maw and bit Gou Chang's leg, pulling him to the ground.

Gou Chang cried out in pain as he slammed his head against the ground. As soon as he turned around, he saw the ferocious giant fire serpent coiling in the air before plunging down.

“Gahhhhhh—”

Ignoring the monster's miserable state in the distance

Upon hearing the shout, Lu Zizhen sheathed her twin swords against the pillar, her expression returning to normal.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Gou Chang's body convulsed continuously. The flames on his body gradually died down, finally revealing him covered in talismans.

Instead of killing Gou Chang, she sealed him away. Gou Chang is now no different from an ordinary person, and this... is proof that Lu Zizhen fears the Crown.

She didn't want to become Dou Tang's target again just because she killed a monster and got the crown.

Lu Zizhen picked up the bag she had thrown down earlier and shouted towards Gou Chang in the distance, "Tell Taira no Masakado that I have given everything to Mr. Ren. Tell him to go and get it from Mr. Ren!"

After saying that, she ignored Gouchang's screams and walked towards the elevator.

With trembling hands, Gou Chang, covered in severe burns, got up from the ground. He glanced at the spot where Lu Zizhen had just stood, then looked at the underground space in front of him, which had been scorched several degrees higher by the flames. The charred marks on the load-bearing pillars from the fire were still there, and those marks were also imprinted on Gou Chang's heart.

He fiddled with the black, charred talisman paper that he couldn't remove from his body, gritting his teeth and his eyes bloodshot.

Taira no Masakado was an absolute tyrant and would not tolerate such a defeat. If he were to return, Taira no Masakado would surely strip him of his crown...

What should we do now...?

After some thought, he thought of a monster.

Nurarihyon...maybe Nurarihyon has a solution.

Chapter 77 Goodbye Hua Lao

Coincidentally.

Gouchang's goal is to find Nurarihyon, a middleman, to figure out a way to remove the exorcists' talismans.

After instructing Xingyiren about the possibility of falling into a coma from excessive use of Baoyu Sugar Pills, Doutang also chose to go to Nurarihyon's house.

Its main purpose was to see if Nurarihyon had any information about Taira no Masakado's current movements.

The boycott of the precious sugar pills must be expedited. If many people in Tokyo fall into comas after taking that substance and only exorcists can cure them, then we'll be in big trouble.

Dou Tang's biggest worry was that the promotion of Bao Yu Sugar Pills was actually... driven by exorcists.

What if the purpose of creating the Baoyu Sugar Pill was not only to amass wealth and win over members, but also to harm people?
