The dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, awakening everyone in the city from their daze. As if waking from a dream, their first thought after the initial shock was to record this scene that was beyond their comprehension.
It is indeed beyond comprehension; human understanding of the world always has an acceptable range.
For example, if you're typing away late at night and need to go to the bathroom, the most bizarre possibility is that you'll see your cat squatting on the toilet and pooping, just like a human.
But you would never expect to open the door and find your cat squatting in front of a high-tech miniature computer, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, its paws typing on the keyboard, planning its conquest of the earth for tomorrow. The first page of the plan even includes robbing all the cat food cans from the pet store at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Even after it noticed you coming in, it raised its glasses in a domineering CEO manner and said that once it ruled the earth, it would make you the president.
This is what is meant by "acceptable expectation".
What happened before their eyes undoubtedly shattered everyone's expectations.
The giant dragon Fall Guy stretched out its body, showing people its gentle form, even though it was a monster, before flapping its wings.
The already turbulent airflow became even more unpredictable due to the flapping of the wings. The light spots that were drifting with the wind suddenly became erratic, and after a brief period of adjustment, the giant dragon jelly bean suddenly leaped into the air.
Then, the giant dragon, accompanied by a sky full of fluorescent light, flew towards the ground.
"Ugh——!"
"This, this is real?! Am I dreaming?!"
"A dragon? It's a dragon, right? Why is there such a cute dragon? It's not like it's a new anime from Trigger!"
Chapter 107 The Dragon Seen by the World
The dragon plummeted from the top of the steel forest, crashing into a sea of sweet-smelling blood that had transformed into a battlefield.
This scene was captured by countless eyes and recorded by countless devices, and quickly posted on platforms such as Instagram and LINE.
All of this was forgotten by the dragon Bean Man. He continued to fall, his wings gradually folding together, transforming into a swooping shuttle as he crashed to the ground.
And the center he was facing was the street where the Halloween parade was taking place.
At this moment, the half-demon and the jelly bean man were locked in a fierce battle.
"What is that thing?!" During a lull in the battle, some half-demons saw the giant dragon in the sky and cried out in terror, their voices distorted with fear.
Unfortunately, the other half-demons were already being tormented to the point of near death by the Fall Guys, and no one paid any attention to them.
Old Wolf raised his head after hearing the dragon's roar, and then he couldn't look away. He and Kotaro stood together, staring intently at the sky.
"That's... a dragon?!" Kotaro's voice was already trembling.
"To be precise, it might be Fall Guys Dragon..." Old Wolf frowned deeply, his half-wolf face still showing doubt.
That's... the building where Dou Tang is located. Why did the giant dragon Fall Guy fall from there?!
And... these jelly bean characters on the street are actually fighting against half-demons!
An extremely frightening thought came to mind, and the old wolf couldn't help but shudder.
If I tell the truth... I won't be silenced, will I?
Thinking of Dou Tang's usual ruthless and decisive nature, Old Wolf shook his head and decided to keep this guess to himself.
Xueqing, who was not far away, saw this scene and let out a long sigh.
Qi relaxed a little.
"So it really is... Well then, the next step is to report back to Father. Since our guess was correct, at least the Nurarihyon family didn't stand on the wrong side."
"He truly possesses a power that cannot be measured by evil spirits or urban legends."
"The so-called core of the Crown game... turns out it's true."
He steadied himself and ran quickly towards Old Wolf and the others, saying, "Come to your senses! We need to get out of here right now!"
Kotaro had never heard of Fall Guys before. He pointed to the sky in a panic and said, "Xueqing, did you see that?! That's a dragon! An outrageous dragon! A dragon that's as colorful as candy and it even glows!"
"I'm not blind." Xueqing grabbed their arms and dragged them away, saying, "We need to leave quickly. These candy-bean people will handle things for us. We don't need to worry about the half-demons. The most important thing now is to keep our identities a secret!"
"But……"
Kotaro hesitated for a moment, but Old Wolf immediately urged, "Hurry up and go! Look at these chubby jelly bean men, what problems could possibly arise with them around? We should retreat."
Kotaro raised an eyebrow, a horn growing from his head twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean 'we're leaving now'? This is clearly our battle, where did this bunch of Fall Guys come from?!"
Just as the three were discussing, the giant dragon Fall Guy in the sky approached the ground and suddenly spread its wings!
"Snapped!"
Its wings suddenly spread out, intercepting the air and stopping its descent. However, the strong winds accumulated during the fall alone had a significant impact on the ground. The entire street was suddenly swept by the turbulent airflow, startling everyone.
Then, the giant dragon Fall Guy slowly flapped its wings and landed.
When he saw that Kotaro and the others had not left, he seemed to rise up, stretch his dragon neck, and slowly open his mouth towards Kotaro and the other two.
"Roar! Awooooooo!"
The dragon's roar was deafening. Not to mention ordinary people, even Xue Qing felt her brain buzzing for a moment. The old wolf, whose hearing was already very sharp, bared his teeth, covered his ears without making a sound, and turned and ran away.
"Wait, wait for me!" Kotaro shrank his neck and followed Old Wolf in retreat. Although he hadn't figured out the situation, he trusted his partner. Since Old Wolf and Xueqing both said to retreat, they must have their reasons.
The three of them fled without looking back.
Seeing them retreat, Dou Tang turned around, his majestic yet emotionless golden dragon eyes silently watching the half-demons before him.
The power of the Fall Guy clones was no match for these half-demons, but the Fall Guys still made up for the difference in combat strength with their numbers. These Fall Guys were fearless and felt no pain. As long as they put their hands on the enemy, they would hold on and not let go, no matter how the enemy struggled.
Even the half-demon, deeply engrossed in battle, noticed the arrival of the dragon.
The dragon raised its head high, looking down at the disheveled half-demons before it. The pale white mask at the end of its neck revealed its identity—it was on the Fall Guys' side.
The dragon bared its teeth slightly, revealing pink flames through the gaps. The dragon jelly bean was so dreamlike that even its flames were the gentle color of colorful cotton candy.
"How can it be……"
"What, what is this thing?!"
"A dragon?! How could there possibly be such a thing as a dragon?!"
"Is it another monster created by that Onmyoji? Is its childish appearance meant to mock us?"
"Damn it...I don't want to die!"
Under the immense pressure of the dragon, many half-demons were caught off guard and lost their strength. The Fall Guys seized the opportunity to swarm forward, using sheer numbers to capture the enemy and even pin him to the ground.
During this process, a steady stream of Fall Guys continued to arrive on the streets. Some of them didn't even rush to fight, but instead took on the role of support personnel, guiding civilians on the streets to escape like rescue workers. Some even carried the injured on their backs, carrying them far away before putting them down and then running back to join the battle.
This kind gesture directly distinguished them from the cruel and ruthless half-demons. People could understand who was acting with good intentions and who was acting with evil. At this moment, some people were even recording videos on their phones while cheering for the candy people.
Again.
Fall Guys are round, chubby, and adorable, and they also do silly things to make people happy.
And a bloodthirsty half-demon that was clearly a monster, with blood and gore between its claws and bits of flesh stuck in its teeth.
Isn't it obvious who the good people are?
Then take a look at that majestic dragon full of dreamy charm. Despite its extremely imposing shape, the colors are so girly. Would a villain use such a color scheme?
The dragon Bean Man raised his head slightly. The situation was settled. He slowly raised his claws and, with a little skill, gently patted the head of a bear-man half-demon.
The bear-man half-demon, who was wrestling with Fall Guy, suddenly tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Although it appeared to be unharmed, in reality, the bear-man half-demon's brain had been shattered into pieces by Dou Tang.
Chapter 108 Amusement Park
Dragons and candy-beans rampaged through the streets, oblivious to the stares of passersby. For the first time, the half-demons realized that there were beings in the world more powerful than themselves.
An even more terrifying existence.
Within minutes, there were no more half-demons standing on the street. They had either drowned in their own blood or been mercilessly killed by the Fall Guys. But from the outside, there were no obvious wounds, as if they had just been knocked unconscious by the Fall Guys.
This was also the result of Dou Tang stopping; he didn't want people to perceive Fall Guys as monsters as cruel as half-demons.
After ending the battle with the half-demon, Dou Tang looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear and cloudless, with the bright moon hanging high in the distance, but not a single star could be seen.
Dou Tang looked towards the street.
On the street, some daring passersby have emerged from their hiding places, holding up their phones to take pictures of themselves.
The Fall Guys lurking in the city center, and the monster half-demons indiscriminately slaughtering ordinary people—these things will soon be exposed on the internet.
But unless someone has concrete evidence, it's all just empty talk.
Dou Tang flicked his dragon claw, and countless fire ropes split from his fingertips, covering the corpses of the half-demons.
Flames shot into the sky, and those who wanted to approach immediately took a few steps back, fearing that the Fall Guys would turn on them immediately after attacking the half-demon.
The corpses of the half-demons quickly turned to ashes and disappeared. At this time, apart from a few ordinary people who had been suddenly attacked and killed by the half-demons, as well as the severely damaged buildings and ground, there was no trace of the rampant evil spirits on the streets.
Then, Dou Tang reached out his hand and led it toward the candy people.
The round, juicy bean people jumped up and rushed towards Dou Tang's palm. As they leaped up, their bodies shrank rapidly, turning into tiny candies that landed in his palm.
Some of the Fall Beans who were initially protecting people bid them farewell very gently, either waving or patting someone's head, their two eyes on their masks squinting as if they were smiling kindly.
Some of the bolder people responded to the Fall Guys' farewell, some even hugging them, and were then amazed by how soft and supple the Fall Guys' bodies were.
After saying goodbye, the candy bean people rushed towards Dou Tang, turning into candy beans that piled up in Dou Tang's giant dragon claw.
The process of those jelly bean figures leaping into Dou Tang's palm looked like countless points of light on the ground converging into his hand. Each tall and chubby jelly bean eventually transformed into a jelly bean the size of a little fingertip, looking as unreal as a dream.
In the end, there wasn't a single Fall Guy left on the entire street, except for Dou Tang, who had transformed into a giant dragon Fall Guy, standing in the center, enjoying everyone's attention.
After this day, how many people will believe in the existence of evil spirits, and how many will think that the videos recorded by these people are still fake?
What would those evil spirits do if they saw me making such a big move?
Dou Tang flapped its wings, stirring up a gale on the street. Sirens were already blaring in the distance, but unsurprisingly, they were still a step too late.
The police car, which had braked suddenly at the street corner, could only see a giant dragon soaring into the air, its body covered by a thick layer of black mist, slowly merging into the night and becoming indistinguishable.
Watching the giant dragon Fall Bean Man swagger into the sky and disappear, Inspector Megure angrily slammed his fist on the hood of the car.
"We missed the chance to save the wounded again! Hurry!"
Dou Tang continued to rise, the black mist around him concealing his figure and causing him to disappear from the sight of ordinary people.
As you climb higher, the city's hustle and bustle gradually diminishes, and Dou Tang overlooks the entire city.
Rainbow-colored lights gathered in the city, which had never entered the quiet of night and was still immersed in the commotion. The streets directly below were still chaotic, but if you looked a few blocks away, everything would fall silent—compared to the breath of the city's own activity, the killing was just an interlude.
Then, Dou Tang looked into the distance. He needed to find a place to land, somewhere far from the city...
His gaze turned toward the sea, where the brightly lit amusement park was flashing with countless spotlights, and further south beyond the park lay Tokyo Bay.
However, Dou Tang did not intend to jump into Tokyo Bay. Judging from Lao Lang's experience, the water in Tokyo Bay was too dirty. He suddenly had a strange and troublesome idea.
This idea is somewhat out of character for him, but perhaps the things he did today were already quite flamboyant, which made him think that it wouldn't matter if he were even more flamboyant.
He planned to fly all the way to the amusement park and then... blend in as a Fall Guy.
Hmm... If that's the case, if I were to run into Huaiyin, I'd definitely give her a fright!
Dou Tang flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
………………
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Screams echoed from the haunted house in the amusement park.
Then came bursts of silvery laughter: "Hahahahahaha..."
Several people rushed out of the haunted house entrance. The first one was Harui, followed by Kaine and Mikazuki. Harui was clearly still in shock, and as soon as he came out, he bent over and patted his chest, panting heavily.
Mikazuki walked out laughing, clearly pleased to see Harui so frightened.
Huaiyin, who was walking at the back, smiled calmly. The ghosts that the staff members in the haunted house had just played were too ordinary to her, not even as bad as the nightmares she had had before.
Tonight, the amusement park has a much better atmosphere than the streets during the Halloween parade. The amusement park, which is usually sweet and dreamy, has now become eerie and gloomy. Cotton spider webs can be seen everywhere, and staff dressed as various monsters patrol the streets and take photos with passing tourists.
Collecting photos with special NPCs allows visitors to claim a mystery reward at a designated location within the amusement park, making it a popular time for all visitors tonight to search for these special NPCs.
Harui took a while to catch her breath before slowly coming back to her senses. She looked at the other two and sighed, "I shouldn't have listened to you and gone into this haunted house! You two aren't afraid of ghosts at all, and I'm the only one who got scared!"
Mikazuki smiled smugly.
"Meow, don't underestimate a cat's courage! Even if it's not a monster, a cat is still very brave!"
"Really?" Huaiyin raised an eyebrow. "But before, Mikazuki was terrified of even taking a bath..."
