For modern people, a murder case happening right before their eyes can feel unreal.
A friend who used to chat and laugh with you for a long time was suddenly and casually killed in just a few words.
It's hard to accept, and I don't even know what kind of expression to wear or how to react.
Lin Tianfeng bent down and gently picked up Xiaotian's phone from the ground. Without even looking at Xiaotian's terrified face, he strode towards the group of thugs.
It's like a ferocious beast leaving its killed prey aside to hunt for more prey.
Faced with the threat of death, those people were finally able to squeeze out voices from their throats, voices filled with fear, the most direct description of the scene before them.
"Kill! Murder! Murder!!!"
The young thugs scattered and fled, and the bystanders also began to retreat, the crowd dispersing like birds and beasts.
Seeing this, Lin Tianfeng stopped pretending to be elegant, casually took out a mask from his pocket, put it on, and ran away.
He had no time to waste. After glancing at Xiaotian's phone, he took out his own phone and dialed his subordinate's number.
The call was answered almost instantly, but before he could speak, the person on the other end said anxiously, "Lord Lin Tian, something has happened!"
"Yes, there are several cars blocking the entrance to the parking lot. It seems there has been a car accident!"
"A car accident? How could there be a car accident so suddenly?!" Lin Tianfeng frowned deeply, instantly realizing that this might be one of the consequences of the information being leaked.
This is so unreasonable. Who on earth is going against me?
Exorcists from Nikko City? Impossible. Those people are still dealing with the aftermath of the daytime events, and a bunch of others are locked up in that underground parking lot. How could they possibly have the energy to stir up such a huge incident?
"Keep an eye on the vehicles, and send someone to the entrance to handle the accident. Make sure it's resolved quickly!" Lin Tianfeng instructed as he ran forward.
"Once I arrive, I'll leave Nikko City immediately!"
"Yes, I understand, Lord Hayashida!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tianfeng continued running towards the parking lot.
………………
I'll say it again.
"You're the one who hit me, understand?" The man leaned against his car and pointed at the woman in front of him, cursing.
The swordsmith Longship, standing opposite him, leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke and said lazily, "Don't be ridiculous, you stinky man, I'm driving legally."
"Lawful driving?!" the man shouted, his voice cracking. "You crossed the solid line and turned onto my car, and you're telling me that's lawful driving?!"
"Where did you get your driver's license? Aren't they afraid of getting a hole punched in their coffin while making money through dishonest means?!"
Hearing the man's accusation, the swordsmith Longship remained unmoved, calmly smoking his cigarette and saying, "Anyway, if you have a problem, then just wait for the police to arrive. I can wait."
"Wait for the police..." The man clenched his fists, looking annoyed.
Because of what happened during the day, the police in Nikko City were out patrolling the city. After clarifying the situation, they completely put the matter on hold for the time being. They told the two people over the phone to move the car, but didn't say when they would come to the scene.
But moving the car... how could the knifesmith, Nagafune, possibly agree to that?
That's exactly what she wanted—the car accident.
She glanced back at the unlit parking lot, exhaled a smoke ring, and quietly leaned against her car, waiting.
Meanwhile, the streets were becoming increasingly crowded, with suspicious individuals constantly arriving. Some stood swaggering along the street, while others discussed something with their companions. Many others hid in inconspicuous places, secretly observing everything before them.
They would glance down at their phones every now and then, and some would look around the street, even smiling knowingly when they saw someone else looking at their phone.
It's like... a group of people who don't know each other well, who have gathered together because of something.
The swordsmith, Longboat, flicked his cigarette ash, ignoring the strange looks from the others, and knocked on the back door, saying, "Whale Forehead, are you ready?"
Jingqianfang, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, nodded slowly.
"We can begin at any time, Lord Osafune."
The swordsmith, Nagafune, smiled, glanced at the long sword that Kujiramoto had placed on his lap, and said, "Don't disappoint me. Do your best. It doesn't matter if you die."
Jingqianfang did not react, but his somewhat withered hands gently stroked the long sword. The hastily assembled long sword did not even have a tsuba, only a scabbard and a handle, and looked like a somewhat crooked black piece of wood.
His hand lingered on the hilt of the knife, as if he was eager to try it out.
………………
The people on the street seem to be weaving a net.
People, guided by the website, gathered in the streets.
They may have recognized each other, but made no move to greet each other.
Some people were driven by curiosity to find out what happened, while others were simply waiting for the outcome of tonight's events.
The streets became increasingly crowded, and the atmosphere near the parking lot grew more and more eerie. Pedestrians turned their gazes toward the dark parking lot, like a group of audience members waiting for a performance to begin.
"Om-!!"
In the distance, the heavy, wild roar of engines tore through the night sky.
At the same moment, Hayashida Mineki, who had been jogging, appeared at the street corner.
After hearing the engine sound and seeing the people gathered in the street, he suddenly realized what was going on.
The stage... is already set up.
This was the highest honor bestowed upon Tamamo-no-Mae, a mythical yokai, and also the final outcome of the entire incident.
Lin Tianfeng breathed softly and looked at the other end of the street.
The sound of the engine grew closer, sounding like a deadly roar.
Chapter 354 Charge straight in! War begins!
A black sports car sped down the street, its impatient horn blaring to drive away the crowd. Lu Zizhen clicked her tongue and said, "There's been a car accident up ahead, the road's blocked!"
"It's alright, as long as we can park where we're supposed to." Dou Tang looked closely and saw the two cars blocking the entrance to the parking lot.
He noticed the swordsmith Nagafune smoking a cigarette and frowned slightly.
That guy... he's the one from outside the internet cafe. Lu Zizhen said he's not easy to get along with, and seems to have ulterior motives...
Judging from her expression, she's deliberately causing a car accident to block the road, isn't she? Who is she blocking? Me, or that group of people surnamed Lin Tian?
But without a doubt, they want to get involved in this.
Dou Tang made up his mind, slowly lowered the car window, and the strong wind outside blew in.
At this point, the sports car was less than 100 meters away from the accident scene at the parking lot entrance.
"Ready to make your appearance?" Lu Zizhen asked with a smile, her eyes fixed on the front of her.
Dou Tang glanced at her and said, "I'm ready, but shouldn't you slow down?"
The jeep behind them had begun to slow down, but Lu Zizhen kept pressing the accelerator, the engine roaring non-stop, making people on both sides of the street somewhat afraid.
In the middle of the street in the distance, the knife maker Nagafune and the middle-aged man at the scene of the car accident had already noticed the black sports car rushing towards them aggressively. After seeing the sports car, the middle-aged man's expression became somewhat strange.
"What is that car doing..." he muttered to himself.
"You're going to ram me, aren't you?" The swordsmith Longship laughed, looking at the middle-aged man. "That car is my enemy. It's going to come right over and run me over. Do you believe me?"
"...Ha, ha?!" The middle-aged man looked at the swordsmith longship with a look of horror.
The swordsmith, Longboat, ignored him and instead knocked on the carriage door.
He said, "Whale Front Workshop, it's your turn to go on stage."
"Yes."
Jing Qianfang opened the car door, holding a long knife in his hand. His gaze went past the vehicle to the sports car in the distance, and he said with some excitement, "Such a powerful surprise attack! Mr. Ren is indeed very fierce."
The swordsmith Osafune said, "Don't let down the sword I gave you, Kujira-zen-bo."
"Since we've named it 'Saddle Slayer,' let's try to unleash this ferocious beast that's charging towards us."
Jingqianfang replied awkwardly, "This is a bit too much for you... Lord Osafune, please seek refuge."
"That guy has already spotted us."
Not far away, a figure nimbly emerged from the passenger seat of a black sports car, grabbed the top edge of the door, flipped over, and stood steadily on the roof.
The figure was dressed in black, with a long sword slung across his back, the hem of his black trench coat billowing wildly in the raging wind.
Above the scarlet helmet, blue compound eyes exuded inhuman pressure and murderous aura.
A small murmur of surprise erupted from the crowd of onlookers on the street.
Whether they came out of curiosity or because of a paranormal website, anyone who follows the happenings in Nikko City would recognize the man in front of them.
Without a doubt, he is the mysterious exorcist who has been the subject of much speculation recently, the one who is an enemy of Tamamo-no-Mae and wields a long sword.
Atop the speeding sports car, Dou Tang stood proudly, his hand already on the hilt of his sword. His blue compound eyes revealed no emotion, yet were filled with an aura of impending doom.
This excited and thrilled the whale-fronted barracks in the distance.
He also jumped into the middle-aged man's car, stood on high ground, placed his left hand on his waist with his katana and his right hand gripping the hilt, assuming a posture ready to strike at any moment, a smile on his withered face under the hood.
The two men faced each other across half a street, and in just a moment, they sensed the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
It was an eagerness, a longing.
Lu Zizhen also saw Jingqianfang. After noticing that Dou Tang had climbed onto the roof of the car, she realized that Dou Tang would probably have to fight this guy first before he could concentrate on dealing with Tamamo-no-Mae's matter.
The opponent has already adopted a duel stance and is fully prepared. Given Dou Tang's personality, it's impossible for him not to accept the challenge.
She raised her hand and slammed it on the car roof, shouting, "Have a good fight! So many people are watching!"
Dou Tang stomped his foot and replied, "Do you think this is a performance?"
"Of course! It would be a huge loss not to charge these people admission!" Lu Zizhen said, pressing her handbag against the accelerator and locking the car door. "I'm getting ready to jump out. You do your best!"
"Jump...jump out of the car?!" Dou Tang was stunned. "You really plan to just run right into it?!"
“That’s right!” Lu Zizhen gave a thumbs up.
At this moment, the sports car was still maintaining a terrifying speed of 120 mph, rushing towards the two cars that had collided in the middle of the road, with a sense of "what's the use of trying to get away with it?"
“…Madman.” Dou Tang shook his head slightly and drew his longsword.
Although Dou Tang knew that Lu Zizhen's actions were completely insane, he did not object.
...Come on, there's a really good-looking opponent over there. Wouldn't it be awesome to just crash into him and start fighting?
Dou Tang took a deep breath, focusing intently, his long sword hanging at his side, cutting through the air with a soft whooshing sound as he moved.
One hundred meters... fifty meters...
The people on the street seemed to hold their breath in response to this crazy act, and only the roar of engines could be heard on the street.
Jing Qianfang's left hand, which was tightly gripping the scabbard, slightly pushed the hilt, and together with his right hand, he drew the long sword an inch. A cold, sharp light flashed, making Dou Tang in the distance even more excited.
The poised stance and the gleaming blade made Dou Tang realize that this was a very valuable opponent.
The swordsmith, Nagafune, realized what Lu Zizhen was about to do. Without saying a word, she grabbed the middle-aged man and walked towards the side of the street. Although she didn't consider herself a good person, she wouldn't watch ordinary people die meaninglessly in front of her.
At the same moment, Lu Zizhen also pushed open the car door, took a deep breath, and jumped out of the car.
The instant she jumped out of the car, the talisman under her clothes shone brightly, and even through the clothes, wisps of light could be seen. Those lights instantly protected Lu Zizhen's body.
She curled up, covering her head with her hands, and rolled around in the street several times before finally stopping.
The moment she stopped, she knelt on the ground, raised her head, and looked at Dou Tang.
Twenty meters...five meters...
Twenty meters is just a matter of a moment for this sports car.
Dou Tang took a sudden step and soared into the air.
He thrust his longsword forward, echoing the sports car on the ground, and together they charged forward.
In that brief instant, Jingqianfang also released his longsword from its black wooden sheath. The cold, unsheathed blade sliced through everything, the soft hum of its unsheathing drowning out the engine's sound. Its cold light shone like water as it slashed towards Doutang.
Chapter 355 Noh Martial Arts
"boom!!!!"
The two cars collided, and the high-speed sports car, like a shovel, pierced directly into the chassis of the other car, even lifting it up.
Shattered glass splattered into the sky, and the luxury car that one of Lu Zizhen's clients had given her after an exorcism was instantly wrecked, its roof flipping backward in the impact.
