Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 58

Why?

"Hiss... That's strange, Kiryu-kun. It's like those sharks are avoiding you." Kume Chinatsu scratched her head.

Dou Tang took a step back and sighed.

"Never mind, I'll take the photos for you."

The little shark incident was over, and half an hour passed quickly. The three of them followed the road signs to the open-air theater.

Upon entering the open-air theater, Dou Tang's expression suddenly changed.

The Crown game has provided a notification.

A target holding a crown has appeared nearby! Go and play with it and fight for the crown! Seize the final victory!

Are there Crown game participants around here?

Dou Tang quickly checked his senses, but found nothing. He searched the tiered seats of the open-air theater thoroughly, but to no avail.

What is the goal of the Crown game...?

Chapter 110 Underwater Objects

In Dou Tang's perception, the entire open-air theater was completely silent, without any resentment or evil spirits. Clearly, there were no possible participants in the Crown Game on this land.

So……

He turned his gaze to the pool in the amphitheater, where dolphins and seals swam, the performers for the upcoming marine life show.

On the day the pool was by the sea, there was a huge iron gate. That gate was used to draw in seawater, and if opened, it would lead directly into the sea.

He examined the marine animals one by one, but ultimately determined that they were still not participants in the Crown game.

Is it in the sea?

While he was lost in thought, Huaiyin tugged at his arm. Dou Tang turned around and found that her eyes were full of unease.

"Phew..." Dou Tang let out a long breath, his vigilance undiminished, but he still smiled and took Huai Yin's hand in return.

"It's okay, I'll handle it. Just relax and enjoy the show."

Huaiyin looked around fearfully, then slowly nodded.

Because it was the off-season for tourism, there weren't many people coming to see the performance; basically, only the students from Class 2B were there.

Ms. Xingzi was happy to give the students space, so she simply didn't care where they sat. Doutang pulled Huaiyin to sit in the last row, far away from others, always on guard against the Crown owner who was still nearby.

Originally, Huaiyin was really looking forward to the performance, but then they encountered an unknown crown owner, and both of them immediately became tense.

As his senses gradually became clearer, everything around him was thoroughly investigated. Dou Tang had a grasp of all the movements in the open-air theater, and he keenly observed the aura emanating from every creature in the theater. Dou Tang's eyes began to emit a rich indigo light.

Huaiyin glanced at Doutang, who was in a state of readiness beside her, pursed her lips, and took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag. Although the women's sunglasses were a bit small for Doutang, it was still better than having his sharp eyes noticed by others.

Dou Tang lowered his head slightly, letting Huai Yin put sunglasses on him. Behind the sunglasses, his eyes continued to dart around, observing everyone present.

The show begins.

Fireworks suddenly went off at the front of the stands, releasing bright white, bush-shaped fireworks with a popping sound, while exciting music filled the stadium.

Dou Tang, like a startled wild beast, squinted and scanned the area, his muscles tense. Huai Yin, who was holding his arm, even felt as if she were leaning against a mountain.

At this moment, Kume Chinatsu, who had been sitting in the front, quietly ran to the back. Seeing Tou Tang's appearance, she sat down next to him with some confusion.

"Kiryu-kun...are you nervous?"

Dou Tang's breathing was somewhat heavy. He was always so extreme when facing evil spirits, even to the point of being... fiercely opposed to evil? However, this evil referred to all evil spirits and the crown holder.

"I'm fine," he replied, taking a deep breath.

The show began, and the trainers started directing the adorable posters and dolphins to perform one action after another. Dou Tang could still sense the crown signal nearby, but still couldn't find the target.

However, Kume Chinatsu occasionally let out some soft gasps of surprise, which gradually calmed Toudou's nerves.

But just when Dou Tang thought that the crown target wouldn't bother him, a sudden change occurred.

"Oh!"

A dull thud suddenly came from the bottom of the pool, and ripples spread from the seaward side to the other.

Something bumped into this pool built in the sea.

"call……"

Huaiyin heard the heavy breathing of the person next to her, and Doutang seemed to exhale a breath of stale air.

The animals in the pool seemed startled, but the performance wasn't over yet. Although the trainer was a little puzzled, he continued giving instructions, and the animals continued their performance, ignoring the vibration.

Everyone present was baffled by the impact, except for Dou Tang, who noted it down.

Soon, the performance moved to the next stage, where the iron gate under the pool was opened, allowing the dolphins to enter the ocean and then perform leaping out of the water.

The iron gate was open, but the dolphins seemed reluctant to leave, remaining restlessly swimming in the pool.

Dou Tang was facing the underwater iron gate, staring at the murky blue seawater. He was now certain that the crown target was in the sea, and the previous collision might have been just a warning.

Does it know it exists? Or is ramming the iron gate just a means for it to cause trouble?

The trainers seemed a little confused, but they still tried their best to persuade the dolphins to go out to sea to perform. In the end, the dolphins reluctantly swam out through the iron gate and disappeared into the azure sea.

Dou Tang thought the evil spirit underwater would seize this opportunity to kill the dolphins, but unexpectedly it didn't. The dolphins leaped on the surface of the sea, and the performance went smoothly.

It seems it merely bumped into the iron gate to assert its presence?

But when the show ended, the dolphins brought back something strange.

A long, withered, white, curved pillar was brought back by the dolphins, who nudged it back and forth on the surface of the water.

Dou Tang recognized it as a bone, but it was definitely not a human bone.

The moment the bone touched the air, an aura that only Dou Tang could sense suddenly spread out. The eerie aura emanating from that small piece of bone was enough to make Dou Tang's hair stand on end. He instantly tensed up, startling Huai Yin, who had been watching him closely.

However, this aura was not simply resentment, which made Dou Tang wary and also puzzled.

The bone was covered with seaweed, like a piece of dead coral rock parasitized by seaweed. It didn't look special at all, and even the dolphins treated it as their plaything.

The mysterious bone emerged from the water for a fleeting moment before falling back into the sea, its mysterious aura once again blocked by the seawater.

As the dolphins played, they threw the bone back into the sea.

The performance was over, but Dou Tang felt unsettled and even a little anxious. The surrounding environment made him feel somewhat lost.

The underwater crown target undoubtedly sent a signal to him and did not attack him, although it may be due to the large number of people here, but those small actions that did not even qualify as a warning were really puzzling.

What's the meaning……

Why send a broken bone over so that I can understand its existence?

As the people around them slowly left, Dou Tang could only take a deep breath and slowly walk out with Huai Yin in his arms.

As they went outside, Huaiyin whispered, "Brother, did you find anything?"

"Not yet, there are too many mysteries." Dou Tang glanced back at the aquarium.

"...We need to go out tonight."

Chapter 111 Floating Corpse Fall Guy Confirmed

There is a crown target in the sea off Kamo River City.

Siren heads roam the mountains of Kamogawa City.

The original successor of Ito Shrine died more than a decade ago, and the new shrine houses a scythe monster that is severely injured.

October is almost here, and Doutang and Huaiyin are in Kamogawa City. Their originally peaceful school trip has become full of mysteries.

In October, it is said that all the gods will hold a meeting in the divine realm of Izumo. As the date approaches, Dou Tang can feel the oppressive and restless atmosphere approaching.

Kamogawa City is so mysterious; it's full of enigmas.

Is this reasonable?

Since... it should be since that strange, damp evil spirit, that is, the night I saved Kume Chinatsu, it seems that the long-dormant Crown Game has officially started. One by one, evil spirits and mysteries came knocking on my door, and the life of occasionally going out to travel and beat up the supernatural became even more thrilling and exciting.

Is this a good thing?

At least this proves that I'm making progress in the game, little by little.

But on the other hand, those peaceful lives are gone forever, just like the Crown game or fate gave me a year of beginner's experience, and now I've become the Sword God of Shilipo and left the beginner's village.

After leaving the beginner village, Shili Slope Sword God Dou Tang felt invincible, only to find that these Crown Targets didn't fight him head-on at all, they were all just playing dumb, either a shut-in like Qing Gui or a riddle-solving person like Hai Li.

The Blue Demon was one thing, but the fight was really exciting, it felt like I was going to challenge a dojo before I became famous in my past life.

That thing in the sea is really annoying. The aura it releases is very... tempting to Dou Tang, but it just gives a greeting and then hides like a turtle, not daring to come out at all.

The trip to the aquarium came to an end. Since Dou Tang is not one to indulge in romantic relationships and had encountered Crown as his target, he was unable to develop any ambiguous feelings with anyone, making him a prime example of a wooden protagonist.

However, he is currently focused on the Crown game and has no interest in developing relationships with others. Even Kume Chinatsu, who had been trying to hold his hand at the aquarium, was unsuccessful.

After Dou Tang led Huai Yin away in a flash, Kume Chinatsu stomped her foot angrily. Even though her feelings for Dou Tang hadn't yet reached the level of liking him, she still cared about him to some extent.

We've gone off topic, let's get back to the topic.

As night fell, a full moon hung in the sky, and Dou Tang, who was embracing Huai Yin, suddenly opened his eyes.

At midnight, Dou Tang quietly woke up, and Huai Yin in his arms frowned slightly and woke up as well.

"I'm going to the beach. Why don't you continue sleeping?" Dou Tang asked with concern.

Huaiyin obediently shook her head, her thoughts clear: "Brother, if Siren Head is that strong, then I'm not safe here either, even if I have a clone like Tangdou."

Dou Tang nodded in agreement, but still looked troubled.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't hold you back." Huaiyin was afraid that he wouldn't take her along because she was too weak. After all, there was the incident with Lu Zizhen before, and Huaiyin had always traveled with him before Lu Zizhen appeared.

Dou Tang had a different idea in mind. Instead, he said, "I have things to do tomorrow, and I'm afraid you won't get enough rest."

Huaiyin chuckled.

"Brother... with such a big event happening, you're still worried about whether I'm getting enough sleep every night?"

Slow-witted, even the young Huaiyin would have to say that. Even though the two evil spirits were in Kamogawa City, Doutang was still concerned about whether she got enough sleep at night.

Dou Tang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to keep Huaiyin.

He reached out and flipped his hand, revealing ten black candies in his palm.

He solemnly placed it in Huaiyin's hand and said seriously, "You'd better not go. Wait for me in the room. This was made from the vengeful spirits of the Blue Ghost Mansion. Including the three candies you have, there are thirteen in total. Even if Siren Head comes, we won't be afraid."

Huaiyin trembled, wanting to refute but not daring to, and could only silently accept the ten candies.

As expected, he still thinks I'm a burden...

Dou Tang didn't notice Huai Yin's dejection. In his opinion, this was the best way to protect Huai Yin, since no one knew just how powerful the underwater crown target really was.

Perhaps it was because of past events that he was terrified of even the smallest things, and he couldn't bear to let Huaiyin get into any potential danger with him, and he didn't even care what Huaiyin herself thought.

Late at night, while the students were fast asleep, Dou Tang secretly arrived at the entrance of the house and tiptoed to open the door.

The starry night is brilliant. In coastal cities, you can always see stars and the moon at night. It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon in the sky is getting rounder every day.

The fifteenth of August... Mid-Autumn Festival.

This should be a day for family reunion, but where can I reunite with my family? Even if I return to my original world, I will still be all alone, but here, at least I still have Huaiyin.

Perhaps Dou Tang himself didn't realize that he was somewhat treating Huai Yin as a substitute for his younger sister.

That's why they cherish it so much, yet they're too clumsy to show it.

He also had a fear in his heart, the fear that he truly regarded Huaiyin as family, but one day he would have to... kill her with his own hands in order to achieve final victory.

He could only fulfill all of Huaiyin's requests, but he remained restrained.

Traveling at night, the city of Kamogawa is quiet as night falls. Even the izakayas on the streets are quiet, where people slump over their drinks, whispering stories of their tormenting experiences.

Dou Tang, carrying that experience, melted into the night, transforming into a black shadow that kept rushing forward, rushing into the light and shadow under the streetlights, and then disappearing again, going far away along the road, the clattering footsteps like someone in the darkness keeping time for him.

There was no one to be seen on the beach late at night, and no cars were on the coastal highway. The whole city was asleep except for Doutang.

Approaching the sea, I opened my senses and the crown target entered my perception range, but I couldn't discern its true location.

It is indeed in the sea.

Dou Tang looked at the gently rippling sea before him and took a deep breath.

Black and pink particles emanated from his body, enveloping him, while he performed a ridiculous warm-up exercise under the moonlight—raising his hands in one direction while simultaneously adopting a half-horse stance.
