Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Lu Zizhen chuckled as she took a can of milk from the shelf. Just as she was about to go to the counter to pay, she saw Shinzen Ringo walk past the window looking forlorn.

"This kid has a pretty good personality, although he's a bit too naive, but he's still a good person."

Chapter 83 We have a cat!

It's night.

Dou Tang held Huai Yin in his arms. Huai Yin curled up in a ball, her face pressed against Dou Tang's chest, sleeping peacefully.

Outside the window, the occasional clatter of vehicles passing over manhole covers and the sound of tires scraping through puddles filled the air. This was the quiet of the city night, neither peaceful nor noisy.

A small shadow jumped onto the windowsill outside the window, its long cat tail swaying.

The black cat stood silently on the balcony railing, its shadow cast on the curtains, which distorted as the night breeze swayed slightly.

The black cat walked along the railing, spotted the doorknob on the balcony, and lightly leaped up onto the railing. The balcony door opened silently, and the cat landed on the ground. It listened intently, and after confirming that there was no sound coming from inside the house, it slowly crawled inside.

It ducked under the curtains and entered the room, but its fur immediately bristled.

A tall man sat on the sofa, lovingly holding a girl in his arms. The girl was fast asleep in his arms, her face bathed in the faint moonlight filtered through the curtains.

The man hid in the darkness, his eyes, gleaming with an evil indigo light, fixed on the black cat.

The moment the black cat jumped onto the windowsill, Dou Tang opened his eyes, then carefully carried Huaiyin to the sofa so that he could take the best care of the sleeping Huaiyin.

“I told you,” he whispered, his voice pleasant yet cold and ruthless, “If you follow me any longer, I’ll make you my side dish.”

The black cat began to bare its teeth, but felt an invisible resentment enveloping it, its eyes blinking...

He blinked, then squinted.

“If you make any sound that will wake her, I will strangle your soul. I know you can understand human speech.”

Dou Tang gently smoothed Huaiyin's hair in his arms. Recently, Huaiyin has been sleeping more and more soundly, which is good news.

For this reason, anything that disturbs her sleep is regarded as an enemy by Dou Tang.

The black cat slowly lay down, not daring to make any defiant hissing, and simply stared at Kiryu Todo on the sofa with its emerald green cat eyes.

Dou Tang said slowly, "Tell me your purpose, and keep your voice down."

The black cat's throat bobbed, as if it were brewing something, and then it let out a hoarse, high-pitched sound, forcing a human voice into its vocal cords, which sounded rather unpleasant.

"What exactly are you...?"

Dou Tang smiled and said, "That's what I should be asking you. What are you, a cat demon?"

"I used to think my life was a supernatural horror movie, but now it seems like it's turned into a surreal urban movie."

"You killed the Blue Oni, yet you think there are no monsters in this world?" the black cat retorted.

“I need to correct something.” Dou Tang carefully examined the black cat: “I didn’t kill Qing Gui. He died at the hands of a hero.”

"Whatever."

The black cat put its two paws together, yawned, and said, "As you can see, I am indeed a cat demon. And what about you?"

Dou Tang stroked Huai Yin's hair, pondered for a long time, seemingly thinking about what he really was, and finally closed his eyes and said, "I am Dou Tang, just call me Dou Tang."

"Okay, you don't want to talk about it? I don't care..." The black cat yawned again, looking quite tired.

"However, I must warn you that the death of the Blue Demon will have many other consequences, and you are already being targeted."

Dou Tang's breathing was a little heavy. He slowly asked, "What did you say...?"

The black cat made a mocking sound and then said, "Killing a monster is more serious than you think. Although I don't know where you came from, you hothead, the other monsters won't let you off the hook."

Dou Tang was silent for a while, then said, "I heard that you are the shrine's cat, but judging from your tone, it seems that you are closer to the monsters."

"You're in charge of cleaning the monkeys' cages at the zoo, but do you feel closer to the monkeys?" The black cat explained its thoughts with a strange analogy.

"But that's not quite right... I still really like humans, it's just that I feel a greater sense of belonging to monsters."

Dou Tang didn't want to listen to its nonsense and asked directly, "So what is your real purpose in coming here? And what do those monsters mean?"

"We want to know who you are and what your purpose is."

Dou Tang, with his arm around Huai Yin, made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "Qing Gui is one of my targets. At the same time, some of you also see me as a target. We are playing a game with each other, nothing more."

"A game where life and death are at stake? Sounds a lot like those popular elimination-based online games these days..."

Black Cat is quite up-to-date; he even knows terms like "online games."

"What if I send someone to kill you?" the black cat suddenly asked.

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

The black cat sensed something was wrong.

"Heh." Dou Tang suddenly chuckled contemptuously.

Something is knocking on the door... not the security door, but the bedroom door.

The black cat immediately stood up, took two steps back warily, and looked at the white door next to the television.

"Da da da da da..."

Countless things were restless in that room, making rapid knocking noises, as if countless fingers were tapping incessantly behind it, trying to get out of that room.

A deep, dark aura of resentment emanated from Dou Tang, flowing across the ground. The black cat immediately bristled, jumped onto the television, and its emerald green eyes were filled with terror.

Huaiyin seemed to feel a little cold and snuggled closer to Doutang.

Dou Tang held Huai Yin in his arms, black resentment swirling around him. His indigo eyes looked arrogantly at the black cat, as if he could crush it with just a glance.

Even though he was just sitting on the sofa, it seemed... to the black cat that he was looking directly at a statue that had been worshipped in a temple for a long time.

"Then I would be grateful to you, kitty, if you really did that... that would mean I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of searching for them one by one."

He laughed arrogantly, revealing a side of himself that Huaiyin had never seen before.

"Please pass on a message for me, kitty. I suspect quite a few of you are forming cliques and saying I'm a dangerous element."

"Perhaps one of my goals is to confuse the issue; they actually just want to kill me."

"Similarly, I only want to kill those targets; I have no interest in anything else."

"You can stay with me and see if what I'm saying is true or false."

The thick, black resentment slowly dissipated, and the door that had been knocked on by the supernatural fell silent. But the black cat no longer had the courage to test the man in front of it.

"…………I see."

………………

Before she knew it, it was dawn. Huaiyin woke up rubbing her eyes.

Then, with practiced ease, he looked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, her brother, wearing an apron, was cooking. When he saw her wake up, he gave her a warm smile. At the same time, Huaiyin was surprised to find a black cat standing on his shoulder.

Dou Tang smiled and said, "I think you'd like to have more companions, how about getting a cat?"

Chapter 84 Cat and Dog War

The black cat had a candy hanging around its neck. This was a safety precaution set by Dou Tang to prevent the black cat from harming Huaiyin when he was away.

After having breakfast with Huaiyin, Doutang went out and headed to school.

The fall school trip is coming up soon, and today we had some safety awareness lessons.

Along the way, all the students avoided Dou Tang. After what happened yesterday, all the rumors seemed to have gotten out of control. Those who had suspected him of being a gangster were now even more convinced, and those who thought he was a bad person were completely certain of their thoughts.

In the central hall, stairwell, corridor... wherever he went, people would avoid him, while the few delinquents in the school would greet him respectfully. Dou Tang frowned, sent them away, and quickly hid in the classroom.

Ms. Kyoko walked into the classroom, carrying a first-aid kit, and... and a teaching skeleton.

She casually supported the teaching skeleton under her armpits, and Dou Tang immediately recognized it as Jiangdao Yizai... Damn, this school doctor seems to be enjoying it quite a bit.

Seemingly sensing Dou Tang's gaze, Jiangdao Yizai's arm swayed unnaturally, making Dou Tang panic. If this skeleton were discovered, it would be a big problem.

Setting down the teaching skull, Ms. Kyoko said, "Classmates, we'll be going on a school trip in a couple of days. We're going to Kamogawa City in Chiba Prefecture to see the sea. Today, I'll give you a quick lesson on outdoor first aid. Please listen carefully and be sure to stay safe."

Dou Tang stared at Jiang Daoyi with a strange look. He was really afraid that this talkative and unreliable school doctor would suddenly put on a show of talking skeletons in class.

Fortunately, Ejima Izai wasn't that stupid; he obediently remained hanging on the shelf without moving.

Before the first aid lesson was even halfway through, a dog suddenly barked outside in the corridor. Dou Tang frowned upon hearing the sound. Why would there be a dog on campus?

Then came a flurry of footsteps and a startled cry from Chinatsu Kume: "Oatmeal! Don't run away!"

The classroom door was pulled open, and a huge Labrador Retriever rushed in. The leash was pulled taut, and Kume Chinatsu, dressed in youthful clothes, tried her best to pull it, but she was no match for the dog's immense strength.

Two people with cameras followed behind him.

What is this woman here for?

Labrador's eyes lit up when he saw the skeleton on the podium, and Dou Tang said he was in trouble.

Ejima Izai is in grave crisis!

The Labrador twisted its body and broke free of its leash. This big dog, named Oatmeal, was usually very obedient. Kume Chinatsu was invited to shoot a campus advertisement, so she simply chose her own school.

But for some reason, the large dog that the film crew borrowed was extremely disobedient in her hands.

The Labrador leaped into the air, just like a general in yellow and white armor taking the enemy general's head from among thousands of soldiers!

It opened its mouth wide, spitting out saliva, and even Jiangdao Yizai's mouth involuntarily opened!

He turned his head almost imperceptibly to look at Dou Tang, but his empty eye sockets seemed to be speaking.

"Kiryu-kun! I'm doomed, I'm going first!"

Dou Tang cried out in his heart, "Teacher Jiangdao!!"

The dog peeked out, and a human head was in its mouth!

The Labrador snatched Ejima Iya's head away with a single bite. Ejima Iya's head was originally hanging on the plastic skull by his own resentment, so naturally he couldn't overpower the big dog.

A gasp rippled through the classroom; after all, this scene was... somewhat terrifying and somewhat hilarious.

The Labrador, carrying a skull in its mouth, leaped between the desks, then darted away from the photographer and Chinatsu Kume, running into the hallway.

Dou Tang was also getting anxious. This stupid dog...

Professor Ejima!

The resentment emanating from the skull fluctuated, clearly indicating that Ejima Izai was also in a state of confusion.

The Labrador didn't hold back and ran out. Dou Tang couldn't stand idly by either, so he jumped onto the table. The other students quickly moved aside, and after a few steps, he went to the classroom door, glanced at Kume Chika, and then rushed out.

The Labradors have all gone to the stairwell.

The skull wanted to bark but dared not, and could only let the big dog carry it upstairs.

Chinatsu Kume followed, and Toudou turned around and asked, "Where did this dog come from?"

"Uh, borrowed... I went back to school today to shoot an advertisement and borrowed a dog from a friend," Chinatsu Kume replied, also bewildered.

With a sigh, what else could he do but try to get Ejima Izai's head back? What if he couldn't hold back and started calling for help, and people saw a skull talking like a human?

Dou Tang started running and began chasing the big dog.

Whether it was a sign of intelligence or not, the big dog charged straight toward the rooftop. Dou Tang quickly followed. The rooftop door was open, and the big dog rushed up.

Dou Tang chased after them to the rooftop, only to discover that there was another person there.

Standing in the sunlight, facing the cool breeze of early autumn, her single ponytail swayed in the breeze, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.

She's pretty, but unfortunately she's wearing an incredibly ugly tracksuit.

Ringo before God.

How could it be this woman?

A big dog named Oatmeal circled around her.

It circled, wagged its tail, and spat out the skull from its mouth.

Is this dog hers?

When Ringo saw the skull on the ground, she was a little puzzled, but Toudou rushed forward and picked it up before the dog could even react.

Ringo looked at the tall boy in front of her with curiosity, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, you're that guy from yesterday!"

Dou Tang smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, your dog took our teaching aids." As he spoke, he hid Jiangdao Yizai's head behind his back.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly: Why does this rooftop keep triggering new plot developments every day?
