Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Kotaro shook his head.

“I’m afraid that if I tell them about this, Mr. Ren will stop hunting down the Onmyoji because he’s worried about Mikazuki.”

This is true.

If killing Abe Ryoumei means these techniques will go out of control... then what about Mikazuki, who clearly has a close relationship with Toudou?

If Dou Tang knew that killing Abe Ryoumei would risk making Mikazuki wish he were dead, would he still be so determined to kill Abe Ryoumei?

Kotaro can't say for sure, and neither can the old wolf.

But neither of them even considered what would happen if Abe Ryomei died.

Perhaps in Kotaro and Old Wolf's hearts, achieving their final goal makes their future prospects insignificant.

They were firsthand witnesses to the proxy war, and they were even aware of the extent of its devastation. To put it bluntly, their own lives were plunged into an abyss because of Abe Ryomei.

The old wolf can no longer live like an ordinary monster, and Kotaro is drifting further and further away from the path of humanity.

"So what do we do now?" Old Wolf asked. "The final battle is coming, and now is no time to pull back from the brink. Are we going to keep it from him... and continue like this?"

"If Kiryu Toudou finds out... we'll be torn to pieces, won't we?"

Kotaro took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Before he tears us apart, we might become mindless pieces of flesh."

"So you mean we should continue to keep it from him...?" Old Wolf asked incredulously. "That doesn't sound like something you'd say, Kotaro. Aren't you supposed to be a very righteous and kind person?"

"Justice and kindness can't save this city," Kotaro said, emphasizing each word.

“It’s necessary to nip it in the bud… Even if none of us survive in the end, we must end this.”

As Kotaro spoke, he clenched his teeth so tightly that every word was forced out between his teeth, carrying a resolute determination and hatred that cut to the bone.

He looked at Old Wolf: "We must keep it from them, Old Wolf, we must."

"Even if all the sins belong to us, it doesn't matter what our fate is."

Old Wolf took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and in the dimly lit hall, wisps of smoke rose from the burning cigarette.

"Hiss—whoosh."

“Okay, I promise you.” The old wolf sounded quite helpless. “After all, I don’t want Qingjing to spend the rest of his life being chased by half-demons in a daze.”

“If we had died further away from our partners, we wouldn’t have ended up like you, right?” he asked again.

Kotaro nodded firmly: "I'm sure that this only happens when a half-demon who has reached the critical point of releasing power dies. It's like... the inheritance of power. Ordinary half-demon can't have this phenomenon, otherwise everyone would know about it long ago."

Old Wolf flicked his cigarette ash: "So what are you going to do now? Kill this guy named Ah Sheng?"

Kotaro nodded and slowly raised his hand. The crimson in his eyes gradually transformed into eerie ripples, as if countless tiny eyes were hiding inside his eyeballs, turning into insect-like compound eyes.

“Yes… by killing Asheng, I will gain most of his power and become… a true knight.”

He suddenly waved his hand, and a flash of cold light appeared.

"Pfft-"

The old wolf stared at the bluish blood splattered at his feet and remained silent.

………………

Dou Tang and Huai Yin received the information provided by Takeda Koyo and returned to the warehouse.

Out

To Dou Tang's surprise, Lao Lang and Guang Taro returned together. These two usually bicker whenever they meet, but it seems they went out together today.

"I've got a lead on the remaining allied half-demons." Dou Tang waved his phone. "What were you two up to?"

“Go on patrol.” Old Wolf casually jumped onto the sofa, half-lying down and yawning: “I thought I’d stumble upon something by sheer luck, but I didn’t find a thing.”

Kotaro took Toudou's phone, glanced at it, and said, "Hmm... You really hid well, hiding in an office building. No wonder I couldn't find you."

Dou Tang nodded: "Yes, no one expected that these half-demons would hide in buildings so high above the ground. We were only patrolling the streets, so of course we couldn't find them."

"We've contacted that person named Takeda Koyo. She's going to meet with those half-demon strongholds tonight. We can seize this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and help her rescue her half-demon partner."

"Rescue people?" Lu Zizhen, standing beside him, asked in surprise, "You have to rescue hostages while fighting a bunch of half-demons? What kind of high-difficulty level is this?"

“They were innocent people who were dragged into this, so of course we should save them,” Dou Tang nodded. “As for the other half-demons, they can be dealt with as they see fit.”

"Based on my speculation, these half-demons are probably trying to gather all the remaining half-demons they can find in Urayasu City and find a way to cause a big commotion." Dou Tang continued to analyze: "After realizing that they cannot fight against Abe Ryoumei, the half-demons are now desperate. All their previous forbearance has been abandoned. What they want is to make this matter a big deal and let everyone know about the existence of half-demons."

"What's the point?" Lu Zizhen raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "A desperate, all-or-nothing scenario?"

Mikazuki interjected, "They want to lure in someone who can deal with Abe Ryōmei, or rather, someone who can stop Abe Ryōmei."

"They're having such a hard time, so why don't we all just give up?" Xueqing concluded.

The group chatted for a while longer and finally finalized their plans for the evening.

The half-demons were gathered in a building near the top floor, a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. So Dou Tang and the others decided to sneak into the office building before closing time and then launch a surprise attack on the floor where the half-demons were located at night.

While Dou Tang and Xue Qing fight together, Lu Zizhen will set up a barrier outside the building to isolate external interference and prevent enemies from escaping from downstairs.

Kotaro and the old wolf will also set off from downstairs at the same time, flanking the half-demons from above and below.

As for the other three girls... they're naturally waiting in the warehouse.

After discussing the plan, Lu Zizhen slammed her hand on the table in boredom: "What! Another plan that looks foolproof, not interesting at all!"

Dou Tang tilted his head in confusion.

"The battle before the final showdown should be a bit chaotic to be interesting! Like someone rappelling down from the rooftop, smashing through windows and rushing into the room," Lu Zizhen said, gesturing as she spoke. "Then there should be other mysterious forces stirring things up, the final conspiracy gradually being revealed, and preferably some friction between comrades... that's what makes it dramatic!"

Dou Tang shook his head helplessly, realizing that Lu Zizhen was having another episode.

Chapter 86 The Situation of Being Flanked from Both Sides

That evening, Dou Tang and his group arrived at the foot of a building in the downtown area.

As Old Wolf peered out to find a parking spot, he said, "Aren't we a bit early? It's not even dark yet."

“We’ll stay here until tonight when we make our move. When will Takeda Koyo arrive?” Kotaro asked.

Dou Tang sat in the back seat, arms crossed, and said, "She arranged to meet the half-demons at night, and those half-demons didn't suspect a thing... It seems they're very confident."

"That's because they never expected that Takeda Koyo would call in outside help like us." Lu Zizhen yawned and looked out at the building. "Here? It shouldn't be difficult to perform the spell here. Let's begin."

Old Wolf stopped the car, and the group filed out and headed towards the building.

………………

The city night does not begin with the sun, but with the streetlights coming on.

Dou Tang stood on the rooftop, watching the sunset in the distance. One by one, the lights in the buildings lit up, stretching into the distance. Then, at a certain moment, suddenly, all the streetlights in the entire city were turned on.

The light of nature fades away, leaving behind the creations of humankind throughout the city, making the night and darkness feel ashamed.

Xue Qing stood on the edge, as if she might fall at any moment, holding a long sword in one hand, the two straps on the scabbard fluttering in the wind high in the sky.

He gazed into the distance, the light of the setting sun gradually fading from his face, replaced by countless city lights that seemed to be shooting up into the sky, scattering their faint glow. Before him lay the city, like... a futuristic warrior facing a cyber city, gripping his long sword tightly, waiting for the battle to begin.

Dou Tang tied one end of a cable to the frame of the air conditioner unit on the roof, and the other end to his waist. After tugging at it a couple of times to make sure it was secure enough, he looked at Xue Qing.

Indeed, at Lu Zizhen's suggestion, Dou Tang really planned to use a rope hanging from the outer wall to rush into the building.

Xueqing looked speechless: "Are you really planning to continue like this?"

Dou Tang jumped onto the outer edge, tightened the rope, and nodded, saying, "Yeah, what's the big deal? It's just like bungee jumping."

Xueqing frowned, seemingly a little intimidated, and finally shrank back, saying, "I think..."

I'll just take the stairs.

"You dare to stick half your body out, but you don't dare to jump down with the rope?" Dou Tang asked, puzzled.

"I just don't want to entrust my life to a rope." Xue Qing shook her head, walked towards the stairwell, and waved: "See you downstairs."

Dou Tang fell silent, squatting on the edge, looking at the city in front of him.

Despite the impending battle, Dou Tang suddenly felt relaxed, and looking at the bustling and dazzling city before him, he even felt a sense of comfort.

Roads, as bright as day, intertwined and stretched into the distance, forming an irregular, luminous spiderweb.

The masses in the city, whether they are fighting monsters or evil spirits, are just insignificant members. The vast city is no different from the forest. Life in it is about eking out a living, busy striving towards one's goals, or living in a daze and melancholy.

Standing high up overlooking the city always gives you a feeling of being in control of everything. Now Dou Tang understands why Xingyi's office is located on the top floor.

Whether it's the war between the demons and monsters, the battles between the half-demons, or the evil spirits and monsters hidden in the streets and alleys, they are all insignificant in the face of this massive steel creation.

Dou Tang had thought about these things before, and after a month of fighting, this idea gradually took root in his heart.

Ending the Crown Game might not mean much to this city... but it always feels like the Crown Game is more than just a battle between evil spirits and anomalies.

Dou Tang raised his head, let out a long breath, and looked at the murky night sky.

Lu Zizhen's voice came through the earphones.

"Takeda Koyo has entered the building; the spell is being cast."

“Those guys are on the 29th floor, they could break in at any time… Fighting in such narrow spaces should be your forte.”

Then came Kotaro's voice: "Old Wolf and I are in the stairwell on the 26th floor. We're going to break the elevator."

"Dou Tang and I are on the top floor, we can come down anytime," Xue Qing said.

Dou Tang stood up again, stretched, his body swaying precariously, with a hundred meters of air beneath his feet, even the birds in the city were below him.

He put on the mask, transforming back into the Kamen Rider, and spread his arms wide, the hem of his trench coat fluttering in the wind, making a whooshing sound.

"Ah, why not recreate the Leap of Faith?" he chuckled softly, recalling the days when he would stay indoors alone playing games.

Then, he leaped into the air, his figure like an arrow piercing the clouds, plummeting downwards.

………………

After get off work, in an empty office building, two people stepped out of the elevator.

26 floors.

After exiting the elevator, Old Wolf threw two bricks at the elevator entrance, preventing the elevator from closing unless someone came and removed the bricks.

However, all the security personnel in the building had been knocked unconscious by the group, and now they were trapped like turtles in a jar.

"All done~" Old Wolf dusted off his hands. "Next, it's time to go upstairs and catch those bastards off guard. How's Takeda Koyo doing?"

“She’s already upstairs.” Kotaro took off his coat and pulled a hood out of his pocket. “She should be negotiating with those guys right now… Let’s go up a few more floors and get ready at another stairwell.”

Old Wolf nodded and put on his own mask, while Kotaro waved at the surveillance camera in the hallway.

At this moment, Lu Zizhen, who was sitting in the monitoring room, was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, eating the pizza ordered by the security guards, while a group of security guards who had been knocked unconscious lay on the ground next to her.

Seeing this, she chuckled and said through everyone's Bluetooth earpieces, "Kotaro, I can see you. Just a heads-up, there are people in the stairwell outside the 29th floor. Be careful when you go upstairs."

"However, Xueqing seems to take the stairs as well, so you were able to run into her."

"What about Tou-Tang?" Kotaro asked.

"He...he took a leap of faith."

Old Wolf was incredulous: "No way, he's really going to... jump in from that height?!"

"Damn it!" he suddenly cursed, then walked towards the stairwell.

"Kotaro! Hurry up, he's going to steal our thunder!"

Kotaro quickly caught up, frowning as he asked, "Stealing the limelight? What do you mean, stealing the limelight?"

"He's going to parachute into the 29th floor from a high place, you understand? Like a superhero smashing through the glass and breaking in... Just thinking about it is so cool, can you honestly say you've never fantasized about it?" Old Wolf pushed open the door to the stairwell and walked upstairs, with Kotaro following closely behind.

The fire door slammed shut, the sound echoing in the narrow stairwell.

The two Kamen Riders stepped forward, heading towards the demon's lair.

Chapter 87 Strange Things in the Night Sky

Takeda Koyo was already starting to regret it.

I had underestimated the half-demons. They were not the disorganized group I had imagined, but a highly disciplined organization with a primitive yet effective hierarchical structure, much like a pack of greedy wolves.

As soon as Takeda Koyo arrived, they tied her up and locked her in a place that looked like a conference room.

"Stay here! Don't even think about escaping, there are our people outside!" The half-demon pushed Takeda Koyo into the room, then left and locked the door, seemingly without any concern that Takeda Koyo could escape.

This is the 29th floor, and their people are everywhere outside. Where can a woman like Takeda Koyo escape to?
