Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 54

Lu Zizhen lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes. Her lips, painted with bright red lipstick, parted slightly. Her originally modern coat transformed into a luxurious long dress, swaying gently with her dance steps, making a rustling sound as the fabric was unfolded.

The priest Ito waved his white fan in the distance, while countless black paper figures continued to bloom from behind him, merging into the long snake to attack Ryūko Sada.

Lu Zizhen slightly opened her alluring eyes. Although the lines at the corners of her eyes were extremely charming, there was only disdain and contempt in them. The words that came out of her red lips had lost the gentleness of her previous singing.

"That's it? You idiot, you don't think this is enough to kill me, do you?"

Priest Ito chuckled, "Heh, Miss Lu, in this way, you won't have any free hands to grab other talismans, will you? My paper figures are endless; I wonder how many more tricks you have up your sleeve?"

Lu Zizhen frowned, not because of the fearlessness of the priest Ito, but because she seemed to see something leaping among the chaotic shadows on the ground.

Those tiny black shadows darted across the ground, leaping from one shadow to another from the dying paper figure, without any pattern or order, yet unknowingly getting closer and closer to her.

Her intuition told her that those things were not just her imagination, but something very troublesome.

Realizing this, she began to wield her longsword more cautiously. The flaming sword carried a power that the paper doll could not match, and it intentionally or unintentionally scorched the ground.

But just as the two were at an impasse, some sounds came from outside, which seemed to be people shouting.

"Changjun, come here, come here!"

She sounds like a young girl.

Priest Ito scoffed, but only became more agitated and urged the white fan in his hand to move faster. At the same time, Ru Zizhen noticed that the shadows on the ground were jumping around even faster.

Suddenly, Priest Ito, who had been hiding his hand behind his back, pulled it out. That hand was now wearing a pure black glove, and he pointed it at Ji Zizhen.

The shadows on the ground... no, we can't call them shadows anymore. Mysterious creatures emerged from the shadows, each one smaller than a palm.

The creatures resembled rats, but they had no tails or limbs. The only limbs they had were two sharp, long blades extending from the sides of their bodies, like the blades of ice skates.

Their eyes blazed with a frenzied red light as they charged toward Lu Zizhen. These creatures, which inexplicably blended into the shadows, were originally the killing move of Priest Ito.

But Lu Zizhen was prepared. She flipped her tongue and pulled out two rolls of talisman paper from under her tongue, then spat them out.

This crazy woman is always so cautious, even keeping a backup plan under her tongue.

The damp talisman unfolded in the air, slowly glowing, while Lu Zizhen continued in a low voice.

"I have a sword hidden in paper, concealed in the world, which can make evil spirits disappear."

The two talismans shone brightly, transforming into unparalleled brilliance as they danced in the air, like two swift wolves hunting, tearing apart and killing the small creatures with blades.

Seeing that his ambush with shikigami had failed, Priest Ito snorted coldly, snapped his fan shut, and shrank back into the darkness. His white priest's robes gradually faded, blending into the darkness and becoming indistinguishable from the real thing.

"call……"

While continuing to harvest the paper figures scattered across the sky, Lu Zizhen kept a watchful eye on her surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, she flicked her wrist, and her twin swords spewed out thin flames, burning the paper figures to ashes.

She remained on guard for a while longer, until the voices of several young men behind her grew closer and closer, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Priest Ito...a mysterious and strange person.

This person needs to be thoroughly investigated later.

With this thought in mind, Lu Zizhen suddenly shook his sword, clearing away all the flames on the blade. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning paper, which was extremely unpleasant. A thin layer of dust covered the ground, and there was no trace of the paper figure that had once been there.

Lu Zizhen shook her head, put away the retractable sword, looked at her hands, and saw red marks on them, which stung with pain.

But Lu Zizhen seemed to be used to it. She clenched her fists tightly to suppress the stinging pain and turned her head away.

At this moment, beneath the five torii gates that form the boundary gate in front of the shrine, stood the Nagaibuki and Hayakawa sisters. The lively Hayakawa Mizue had her arm around the quiet Hayakawa Kanae, and the two stood in front of the torii gates, while Nagaibuki stood a little lower down taking pictures.

Lu Zizhen shook her head, and was about to leave quickly when she noticed something moving in the woods some distance away.

She immediately focused her gaze on that spot, where something in the forest seemed to be emitting a dark yellow metallic glow in the sunlight.

She suddenly realized what it was and quickly shouted in the direction of Nagaibuki, "Hey! Get out of there!"

But it seems a bit late.

In the forest nearly fifty meters away from the three of them, a tall creature slowly stood up.

Two sirens pierced through the tree canopy.

A metallic, mummified monster slowly rose up, emerging from photos and videos, from urban legends that people used as jokes, into reality.

A clear liquid slowly flowed from the two eerie siren horns, as if...

It was as if the monster was drooling.

Nagaibuki and the Hayakawa sisters paused for a moment, then looked at Michiko Sadako at the shrine entrance with a puzzled expression.

Nagaibuki seemed to have misunderstood something and responded loudly, "Sorry! We didn't know that taking photos was not allowed here! I'll delete them right away!"

Idiot, who cares if you take pictures here! You could film a sex scene in the open and nobody would care!

Lu Zizhen was a little anxious and quickly said, "Run here quickly! Run! Hurry up!"

At that moment, Siren Head, who was in the forest behind him, reached out and parted the tree canopy in front of him, revealing his upper body.

What a bizarre sight it was.

Its arms and body were so deformed that one might mistake it for a telephone pole, but its bronze-yellow body revealed the shape of a human skeleton, especially its withered chest, which was so realistic and horrifying.

It's like stretching a normal human corpse dozens of times longer.

It lowered its head slightly, as if preparing something, and then the two sirens began to vibrate.

Then came the sound, an eerie sound.

"Woo——————"

Chapter 103 I'll put on this act myself.

The sound went straight to the heart.

Humans have an innate fear of sounds that shouldn't exist in nature. High frequencies, high decibels, and the continuity of sounds that cannot be formed naturally can all cause this fear.

For example, air raid sirens.

Imagine stretching each syllable of thunder to the level of minutes; the thunder would become a long and slow roar, an eerie sound that would evoke great aversion and vigilance, as well as fear.

The siren head emits a similar sound, even sharper and more ethereal; its cry is a collection of all the eerie sounds.

The shrill sound of an air raid siren, the muffled toll of a bell, the deafening volume of thunder, and the ethereal, venomous cry filled with resentment. This is the sound of a siren, an eerie cacophony of several completely different vocal timbres.

Siren Head was about fifty meters away from Nagai Ibuki and the others. Although it was not twenty meters away, it was still close enough.

The terrifying sound came from the siren, accompanied by a clear liquid flowing from it.

The sound made Nagaibuki and the others feel their chests trembling; the complex sound stirred every organ in their chests, even their blood. Their ears were also tormented, the vibrations in their eardrums causing excruciating pain, and their brains buzzed as if a thousand mosquitoes were frantically flying around in their heads.

The three of them screamed in agony and collapsed to their knees in pain.

Lu Zizhen was also in great pain. She hissed and quickly took out her earplugs, which she always carried with her and put them in her ears. She would wear earplugs when she couldn't sleep well.

Wearing earplugs helped a little, but the tremors caused by the cavities in her brain and chest continued, and she felt a pressure on her heart, reminding her that she had to hurry.

But she looked at the sky, and it was clear and blue, offering no opportunity for her to use those techniques that could influence celestial phenomena.

The environment in which the talisman is placed.

This is a big problem... I was planning to go into the mountains at night when the temperature was low, but what should I do now?

After ending its long screech, Siren Head seemed quite pleased with the humans' pathetic performance in the face of its voice. It slowly parted the canopy, revealing that the tall, dense forest was nothing more than waist-high shrubs in its presence.

We can't wait any longer. Lu Zizhen is often a bad person, but that's only when her interests, which she believes belong to her, are infringed upon. In a situation like this, where there are innocent people in front of us, she cannot and will not stand idly by.

I took a deep breath. There was no other way but to do it myself.

Could this be related to the Ito priest from earlier? Lu Zizhen forced herself not to believe this conjecture, after all, if such an urban legend was manipulated by someone, then the situation would be too bad.

Lu Zizhen took out a stack of talisman paper from his coat pocket. The two-finger-thick talisman paper looked like a notebook.

Any one of the talismans in this collection could sell for tens of thousands of yen in the exorcist community; it's practically Ryūko Sada's lifeblood.

Should I use it here? She asked herself this question, then hesitated for a moment.

Those three people have nothing to do with me... they really have nothing to do with me, but, but...

Before she could reach a conclusion to her hesitation, the siren-headed officer suddenly turned around and looked at the shrine, or rather, at the torii gate in front of the shrine.

Although it doesn't have any eyes in the conventional sense, Lu Zizhen can sense its gaze.

It looked down through the torii gate until it saw the three people lying beneath it. Seemingly wary, it pushed them away and hid itself again behind the tree canopy.

Then it turned around, seemingly shrinking slowly, and disappeared into the forest.

Stopped abruptly.

Lu Zizhen kept her eyes wide open, carefully observing every corner of the forest, but Siren Head seemed to have no regrets and simply disappeared into the sea of ​​trees.

It took Lu Zizhen a long time to calm down, and even after she relaxed, she could still feel her temples throbbing.

"Huff, huff..." Lu Zizhen stood there panting for a while before calming down and hurriedly ran towards the three people under the torii gate.

A sound came from the woods behind her, and Lu Zizhen broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly turned around and saw Siren Head's figure slowly walking away, swaying as if he couldn't stand up straight.

Its steps were weak and feeble, like fragile bamboo swaying in a strong wind, as it slowly walked into the deep mountains, seemingly waiting for something, or perhaps having lost interest in these people.

It clearly had the opportunity to kill these three people, so why did it choose to retreat?

Lu Zizhen remained vigilant, confirming once again that Siren Head had left before turning back to rescue the three, and also quickly notified the exorcists down the mountain.

But as soon as she hung up the phone with the exorcists, a new call came in.

It's Doutang's.

She answered the phone, and Dou Tang's cool, magnetic voice came from the other end.

"Do the sounds from the mountain have anything to do with you?"

My tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"Phew..." Lu Zizhen let out a long breath.

"What's wrong? Is there trouble?" Dou Tang asked with concern, frowning.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing for now... I almost spent my life savings just now, that money was originally meant for you." She even had the mood to joke.

"What does your money have to do with me..." Dou Tang muttered, then asked, "Do you need my help?"

After checking on the three of them, Lu Zizhen found that they were alright; they had just fainted.

Somewhat disheveled, she sat on the steps beneath the torii gate, gazing at the distant view below the mountain, and said, "Hmm...maybe. Would you like to earn some extra money?"

Dou Tang chuckled: "A woman just said the same thing to you, and I agreed."

Lu Zizhen laughed mischievously: "Really? The iron tree has blossomed! You've even learned to be a gigolo on your own? You'd be perfect as a male escort!"

"No, that's not it! I'm just doing a cameo as a model in an advertisement. Tell me about your situation?"

Lu Zizhen sighed and said, "Exorcism, the Siren Head I told you about before."

Dou Tang was immediately surprised. He looked up at the mountain and used his superhuman eyesight to see the red torii gate that was faintly visible in the valley.

"You're on the mountain? Was that a police siren coming from just now?"

“Yes…” Lu Zizhen replied wearily, “So, do you want to participate?”

"Yes!" Dou Tang answered without hesitation, "Of course I want it!"

"I knew you wouldn't miss something like this..."

But this is my job after all, it's not appropriate to just pass it on to him, is it?

I don't live off him. Dying because of him and living because of him are two different things!

Then she gave a sly smile.

"I won't! Dou Tang, just you wait and see how I show my skills!"

"what?"

Before Dou Tang could ask any further questions, Lu Zizhen hung up the phone immediately.

Chapter 104 Dou Tang's Unexpected Playfulness

After hanging up the phone, Dou Tang's expression was not good.

He quickly texted Lu Zizhen: "What kind of flag did you just set? Ending with something like that, you're like an old general on a theatrical stage, you know that!"

It was covered in flags!

Lu Zizhen quickly replied, "Yeah, right! I don't do anything reckless, don't worry! Leave this to me!"
