Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 336

Dou Tang slapped him again. The delinquent, writhing in pain, was unable to resist and fell to the ground beside him with a thud. He clutched his ribs, unable to speak, but glared viciously at Dou Tang.

Dou Tang picked up his baton from the ground and continued walking along the path.

Huaiyin quietly followed

Afterwards, I passed the delinquent boy lying on the ground groaning and walked into the alley.

Deep within the alley, there was another small square with only a stone pavilion. It looked very quiet, and the sound of square dancing music from not far away was somewhat muffled, as if it were isolated from the world.

At this moment, there were several people standing in the stone pavilion, and two of them were sitting slumped inside. They were none other than Dou Tang's two friends.

The skinny boy who was in the lead saw Dou Tang, threw down his cigarette, stubbed it out, and said in a cocky tone, "You're Ren Dou Tang, right? The one from No. 9 Middle School?"

Dou Tang tilted his head and said, "I don't think I know you. Who are you standing up for?"

"You fucking arrogant?" The skinny boy clicked his tongue and swung a baton out of his hand.

This scene made Huaiyin, who was hiding nearby, shake her head. It seems that no matter which world you go to, delinquents are all the same.

Dou Tang remained expressionless, glanced down at the baton in his hand, then at the men behind him, and said coldly, "No matter who you're standing up for, seven people trying to take me down? Aren't you underestimating me?"

"Could it be that some guy I beat up is still angry and just found some so-called big brother to stand up for him?" Dou Tang finally showed an expression, but it was one of pity: "You guys are so pitiful."

"You fucking want to die!" The skinny boy rushed forward and swung his baton at him.

Dou Tang sighed, calmly stepped forward, raised his hand and swung his stick, a fleeting ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"boom!"

The two batons collided, emitting a piercing shriek. Dou Tang's strength directly overwhelmed the thin boy. He forcefully swung his hand to one side, deflecting the thin boy's baton, and at the same time kicked out.

The kick landed squarely on the thin boy's abdomen, turning him into a shrimp-like figure as he collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

Dou Tang's eyes were fierce, and he grinned cruelly before rushing into the stone pavilion.

"It's so hot today, and I'm kind-hearted, I can't stand seeing you all moving around like this!"

"Everyone, lie down and cool off!"

Dou Tang, transformed into a hurricane, rushed into the stone pavilion. The remaining six people were no match for him even when they attacked together. They were quickly knocked to the ground by Dou Tang and began to wail.

At this moment, Dou Tang turned around, came to the thin boy who had made the first move, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him up.

"You, you stop..."

He struggled, but Dou Tang remained unmoved, laughing fiercely, "Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Dou Tang pulled him to a gap in the railing, where he could go down to the lake. During the day, many old men would choose to fish there.

The thin boy seemed to understand Dou Tang's intentions and quickly begged for mercy: "Brother, brother, Brother Ren, I was wrong, really wrong, please...please!"

Dou Tang dragged him to the lakeside, looking surprised, and asked, "What do you mean? Why are you begging for mercy now?"

"You dared to bring a baton to ambush and beat me up? Didn't you ever think you'd get beaten up in return? You bullied my friend because you outnumbered him, didn't you ever think you'd get yourself into trouble?"

Dou Tang grabbed the thin boy's hair, brought his face close to his, stared at him with fierce eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "You're dreaming, aren't you?"

The thin boy fell silent, his face filled with horror.

Dou Tang didn't intend to listen to his continued rambling, and suddenly kicked him in the butt, sending him flying into the water.

After that, he ignored the skinny boy who had climbed ashore, turned around and went back to the stone pavilion. He kicked the six delinquents out like trash and then checked on his two friends.

"Are you alright?" Dou Tang asked with a complicated expression.

“…Damn, not bad.” One of them grinned.

The other person said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I made you do it again."

Dou Tang looked at the two of them, sighed, and said, "From today onwards, let's not have any contact with each other."

The two immediately became agitated: "Damn it, what do you mean by that?"

"what?"

Dou Tang said helplessly, "Don't you understand? The closer you get to me, the more likely you are to be targeted by others."

“If you need any help, you can come to me, but otherwise, don’t get too close to me.” Dou Tang turned and walked to the entrance of the stone pavilion, looking at the waning moon in the sky. “Just pretend you don’t have me as a friend.”

"What do you mean……"

"Don't say that, Ren Doutang..."

The two struggled to get up.

Huaiyin watched quietly from the side, already having a clear understanding in her heart.

No wonder Dou Tang hates getting close to others so much now. No wonder he's been in this world for so long and only Lu Zizhen is someone he can barely call familiar.

His power will bring trouble, whether to evil spirits or ordinary people.

Although she understood and it wasn't strange, Huaiyin still felt somewhat sad.

After the two people struggled out of the stone pavilion, Huaiyin suddenly froze.

The two people looked very different from before; they appeared much more mature and were completely different people. Huaiyin was very familiar with those two faces.

Isn't that Kotaro and the old wolf?

Based on Huaiyin's understanding of Doutang, she immediately understood why such a scene had occurred in her dream.

Dreams are a reflection of reality and a recollection of the past.

Dou Tang was worried about Kotaro and the old wolf.

After encountering Tamamo-no-Mae, he was afraid—afraid that his friend would have to face Tamamo-no-Mae, afraid that his friend...

The friend must face the danger that comes from his own actions.

His fears and worries were never directed at himself. No matter how troublesome the evil spirits were, he never backed down, facing them with an almost arrogant pride.

He left all his fears and worries to those behind him.

Huaiyin clicked her tongue, feeling a pang in her heart.

Chapter 256 An Abnormal Dream

Dou Tang is a fearless person, and Huai Yin knows this very well.

But he is also a person with too many worries.

Although Huaiyin knew that Doutang had lost a lot, she had never experienced what Doutang felt after losing those things. She had no way of guessing how deep the pain must have been to make Doutang so sick.

If Lu Zizhen represents the madness of seeking liberation, then Huaiyin represents the obsession of yearning for warmth.

Dou Tang's words, on the other hand, are a mixture of anxiety and violence.

Seeing himself as the source of disaster and blaming himself for all the suffering of his family and friends is Dou Tang's deepest obsession from his previous life.

Because in his previous life, he truly lost everything.

His current dream reflects his desire at this moment: he longs to defeat the enemy, but at the same time... he doesn't want his friends to be implicated.

The two people stood by the stone pavilion without moving, while Dou Tang waved goodbye to them, walked back the way he came, and left.

As soon as he returned to the square, Huaiyin jumped out.

"Hi, Ren Jun," Huaiyin greeted him with her hands behind her back.

Dou Tang was somewhat surprised. He paused for a moment and then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came to find you, Ren Jun." Huaiyin stepped forward and said with a grin, "I saw you running in this direction, so I followed you. I just got to this square and there you are!"

As she spoke, Huaiyin tilted her head to look at the path behind Doutang.

Dou Tang stepped aside, blocking her view, and forced a smile, saying, "Oh, I see. Sorry, I had some personal matters to deal with, but everything's fine now!"

"You're still not full?" Dou Tang pointed towards the night market. "How about I take you around the night market some more?"

Huaiyin shook her head, looked at Doutang, and said, "Renjun, you're a bit dirty. What happened?"

Dou Tang looked down and found that he was covered in dust. His white short-sleeved school uniform looked dirty. He quickly patted the dirt off himself and said, "It's okay, I just... I just tripped and fell."

Huaiyin nodded and continued, "I'm full, Renjun. Why don't you introduce this park to us?"

She pointed to a group of middle-aged women dancing not far away and asked, "Are those people dancing? It looks so interesting. Is this some kind of special activity?"

Dou Tang looked up and smiled, "Oh, this is called square dancing. Some retired aunties who can't stay idle gather in the square every night to dance to music."

"Well... they don't just dance in the square. Give them any open space and they'll start dancing." Dou Tang shrugged. "It's a good thing there's such a large park nearby, otherwise it would probably disturb the residents."

"Then... what about over there?" Huaiyin pointed to the old men and women practicing Tai Chi swords along a long corridor.

"Those are people who practice Tai Chi sword, it's good for their health," Dou Tang explained. At the same time, Huai Yin noticed that one of the old men, who seemed to be the leader, had spotted Dou Tang.

The old man's eyes lit up, he stopped what he was doing, and walked towards Dou Tang.

Dou Tang's expression changed, and he quickly turned and walked in the opposite direction, saying at the same time, "Toriyuu Kaine, let's go, let's go..."

Huaiyin quickly followed, asking curiously, "Renjun, that person seems to know you. Why are you leaving?"

“Uh, that’s hard to explain.” Dou Tang’s eyes darted around, glancing back every now and then. “Sometimes those people would pester me to be their teacher.”

The two quickly left the square and walked along the main road that encircles the park. People came and went, joggers and children playing together.

Passing through the streetlights, Huaiyin and Doutang arrived at the edge of the park, under the Ferris wheel.

Even though it was already night, the rides under the Ferris wheel were still running, and the glowing Ferris wheel, like a lighthouse, illuminated the ground with its colorful lights.

Not far away, there are also classic amusement park rides such as a carousel.

"Are you thirsty?" Dou Tang pointed to a small shed not far away. The shed turned out to be a general store, with all kinds of children's toys and several freezers.

Next to the shed was the visitor rest area, where a few tables and chairs fixed to the ground were scattered with people. Huaiyin noticed that almost every table had several white bottles on it.

"The yogurt here is very good." Dou Tang led Huaiyin towards the shed, explaining, "The yogurt is sourced from a nearby dairy factory; it's available daily and always very fresh."

Huaiyin obediently followed behind him, observing everything around her.

This is the scene deepest in Dou Tang's memory, the place that left the deepest impression on him, but even now, Huai Yin still hasn't discovered what's so special about this place.

Besides those two friends and the delinquent youth, what is it that makes Dou Tang so concerned?

One

Streets, a night market, a park... vitality and tranquility converge here, but is that all that Dou Tang cherishes?

Unable to find an answer, Huaiyin obediently sat down as Doutang instructed and quietly watched him.

Dou Tang swaggered over to the shed, ordered two bottles of yogurt, carried them back to the table, and handed one to Huai Yin.

The yogurt in front of me is packaged in a white porcelain bottle, sealed with aluminum foil, and looks quite simple.

Huaiyin inserted the straw, took a sip, and squinted slightly. The yogurt was thick, sweet, and had a coolness from being taken out of the refrigerator. Taking a sip in the middle of summer was a real treat.

"So, Huaiyin, do you like it?" Doutang asked gently.

Huaiyin nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized that Doutang had just called her name directly, and looked up at him.

Dou Tang seemed oblivious, simply tilting his head: "What's wrong? Don't you like this flavor?"

"No... I don't like it." Huaiyin lowered her head, but she was certain that she hadn't misheard.

Suddenly, she felt the light around her change, as if the Ferris wheel, which was radiating light, suddenly released a different kind of brilliance. She looked up and her expression immediately turned serious.

The Ferris wheel in front of me... has changed.

The original circular gondolas have been completely transformed, and the entire Ferris wheel's design has changed, as have the illuminated areas.

Although the changes are minor, and although it is still a Ferris wheel, Huaiyin is certain that this is a completely different style of Ferris wheel!

This is... the Ferris wheel I went to with Dou Tang back then, the one where I confessed my feelings to him...

"Is there something you need?" Dou Tang suddenly asked softly.

Huaiyin turned to look at him, then took a deep breath.

The passersby beside Dou Tang had disappeared without a trace.

The carousel in the distance was still turning, and the cheerful music was still playing, but...

There was no sound of laughter from the crowd, no panting or footsteps from the runners; the park, which had just been bustling, suddenly became deserted.

The cheerful music of the carousel sounded eerily at that moment.

Chapter 257 Dream Strategy!

Huaiyin looked at Doutang with some fear, wondering what was wrong with this dream.
