Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

"We used to...have a very special relationship?"

? ”

Seriously? You never mentioned this before! Don't make it sound like I used you and then dumped you!

Yan Yuanmei chuckled, seemingly because she had been drinking, as her smile appeared more frequently.

With a blush on his cheeks, Yan Yuan's resentment turned into a smile as he said, "I was just teasing you. Judging from your expression, it seems you really have forgotten."

"But it's better to forget about it. Now I'm a decent person with my own career, and I'm no longer that reckless woman obsessed with racing." She swirled her wine glass, seemingly nostalgic. "Those things are more like a dark history to me."

Dou Tang raised his hand to interrupt: "Wait... so nothing really happened before, right?"

Iwabuchi waved his hand: "Don't worry, not at all. It's just that you used to love speeding. We ran into each other on a few highways near Tokyo."

"And then... you never won even once." After saying this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were somewhat smug.

“We never exchanged a single word. You would always appear like a ghost, honking your horn next to me in a huff,” Yan Yuanmei continued, recalling. “Then you would accelerate, wanting to race me.”

“So I’ll compete.” She raised her slender finger and pointed at Dou Tang.

"Many nights, we rushed into the neon-lit city together, smashing all the noise, but we never heard a word from each other."

"It's as if the whole city has been left behind by us. Even if we break through the rain or the wind, there are still many neon lights surrounding us."

"Back then... I really didn't say a word to you. Looking back now, maybe I should have stopped you, or let you win this time."

“Every time I look into your eyes through the helmet, those eyes that are filled with resentment, yet also with pleasure and excitement, I feel… just like me.”

As he drank glass after glass of wine, the poetic sentiment deep within Iwabuchi Mei surged forth, along with the image of Kiryu Toutou in Toutou's heart.

The Kiryu Toudou who died protecting his sister, loved racing cars, was always fierce, but would also buy cakes for his sister, seems to be slowly becoming clearer, telling Toudou something.

Tell him that his arrival was not simply about taking over someone else's body; along with him, he also inherited the countless bonds that Kiryu Toudou left behind in the world.

That Kiryu Toudou also lived a brilliant and unique life.

Dou Tang silently poured her another glass of wine.

There seemed to be tear stains at the corners of Yan Yuanmei's eyes, but she didn't wipe them away. Instead, she tilted her head back, drank the wine in her cup in one gulp, and let out a long breath.

“Until… I talked to you. I said I was the leader of Ghost Island, and if you beat me in a race, I would make you the new leader of Ghost Island.”

"You did it, but you seem to dismiss it with disdain."

"So, I don't even bother with it."

"You were so much like me in the past, but now you are completely different." Yan Yuan lowered his eyes, and something seemed to disappear into the air with those words.

Perhaps it's longing and expectation.

So Dou Tang spoke up at the right moment, looking at Yan Yuanmei and saying, "Let's get to know each other again."

He extended his hand: "Kiryu Todoroki".

Yan Yuanmei smiled, tears welling in her eyes as she smiled, and she also reached out her hand.

"Yan Yuan Eyebrows".

………………

In the latter half of the night, after confirming that they had evaded the headless dog's pursuit, Dou Tang and Yan Yuanmei left.

Since Yan Yuanmei's studio was definitely out of the question, Dou Tang took her to a safe house belonging to the Morning Star Group for temporary accommodation. After settling in, Dou Tang returned home.

As soon as he entered, he saw Huaiyin sitting on the floor, yawning and watching TV.

Seeing him return, Huaiyin pouted, "You're back so late..."

Dou Tang said apologetically, "The follow-up was a bit troublesome to handle."

Huaiyin gave a soft hum, then sat in a duck-like position, opening her arms as if she wanted a hug.

Dou Tang quickly took off his shoes, took a few steps to the ground, knelt down, and hugged Huaiyin tightly.

Huaiyin rubbed her face against his shoulder, then frowned slightly and said, "Hmph, you reek of alcohol."

"I'm sorry..." Dou Tang could only rub her head and apologize.

"Go to sleep," Huaiyin said haughtily in Doutang's ear.

"Okay, I'm going to wash up."

After washing up, Huaiyin was already lying in bed, half asleep. She tried her best to open her eyes, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness at all.

Dou Tang tiptoed into bed, and Huai Yin wriggled closer to him. After finding a comfortable position in Dou Tang's arms, she smacked her lips and mumbled sleepily, "Goodnight...brother."

"Okay, goodnight." Dou Tang reached out and brushed the hair that was covering her face, then reached for the TV remote on the sofa and turned off the TV that was playing a late-night soap opera.

As the breathing of the person beside him gradually calmed down, Dou Tang looked at the girl in his arms who was leaning on him so brazenly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now that I've inherited this bond, I must think twice before I act...

He is Ren Doutang, without a doubt, but he also has to take care of the bonds that come with Kiryu Doutang.

That brave boy has disappeared, and in his place are more mature and stronger successors.

That successor, Dou Tang,

His actions are free and should not be influenced by the former Kiryu Toudou, but conversely, everything that Kiryu Toudou brought about cannot be ignored.

We need to protect Yan Yuanmei... Today I said I was getting to know her again, but actually I must have hurt her deeply, right?

Tell her bluntly that the person she cares about and cherishes in her heart is no longer here, just like announcing the death of Kiryu Todoroki.

Looking back on my past life, it seems I've done many similar things... I usually had to be the one to relay the news of those who died because of evil spirits.

Like a person announcing their death.

Chapter 182 I am indeed Cardcaptor Sakura

The next day, the headless dog split apart.

Due to the appearance of Toudou Kiryu and the warning to get the headless dogs out of Tokyo, the headless dog biker gang members who witnessed Toudou Kiryu's power that night had a disagreement and eventually split into two factions.

One faction chose to leave the headless dog.

Many of them had come for the so-called "Big Brother Kiryu," but after seeing the leader of the Headless Dogs defeated in public and realizing how terrifying the real Kiryu Toudou was, they naturally left the Headless Dogs.

Then there are those who quit simply because Kiryu Toudou is too terrifying. After all, biker gangs are just for fun. If there's a real threat to their lives, who would join? There's no profit to be made.

The group that had come with Iwayuu Mei specifically for racing had also left. Many of the members of Old Ghost Island were now adults. The reason they had gathered here was to find a racing club, and they had come for Iwayuu Mei.

Adding to the number of people who were injured and recuperating after being attacked by Dou Tang, the size of the headless dog group instantly shrank by more than half.

Just one night later, the headless dog was already on the verge of destruction and falling apart. It was only natural that the crowd, which had gathered together due to violence and indulgence, would collapse instantly because of a setback.

Even among those who remained, differing opinions arose. At least, Chiya Kyuuji was isolated by the others because of the incident of making way.

As the squad leader, letting people leave when there were still so many people left was a huge disgrace to the headless dog.

Chiba Asakura's injuries hadn't healed yet, Yagino had a fractured shinbone and couldn't walk, Shin Yagino suffered a mild concussion, and the headless dog was immediately despondent.

The expected actions of Dou Tang, such as blocking the school gate, did not occur. Without the captain's permission, the other biker gangs did not dare to provoke Yi Yan Private Academy.

That terrifying being who would beat someone until their bones were fractured before stopping was someone they could not afford to provoke.

After that night, the fake Kiryu also disappeared for a while, and the commotion caused by the headless dog subsided quietly, like a fleeting ripple on water.

After attending school for a few days, Dou Tang was a little confused. After school, he went to the safe house and found Yan Yuanmei.

"So...no news at all these past few days? Nobody came to ambush you, nothing happened with the Bald Guys, and those biker gangs haven't even stopped racing?"

After hearing Dou Tang's words, Yan Yuanmei was also very confused.

The hotel safe house had been transformed into a temporary workshop, filled with cut fabric, various pre-made parts, and even a small sewing machine.

She sat in front of the sewing machine, stroking her chin, and said, "I have a guess..."

"You didn't just beat that fake Kiryu to death, did you?" Her eyes were unusually strange.

"How could that be!" Dou Tang slapped his thigh hard. "I was very careful!"

"If it's a fracture, it's a fracture; if it's knocked unconscious, it's knocked unconscious!" He clenched his fist with confidence: "You have to have enough control over your actions to deal with any situation that requires force."

"I'm really heartbroken to see my little brother, who used to just like racing cars, turn out like this." Yan Yuanmei calmly took a sip of tea.

Dou Tang's lips twitched.

Since that night, Yan Yuanmei and Dou Tang's relationship has improved a lot, and they can at least be considered close friends. Yan Yuanmei is no longer as indifferent as before, but her coldness is also part of her nature.

He makes all sorts of strange jokes with a cold face, which often makes Dou Tang feel a little defensive.

After making the joke, Yan Yuanmei pondered for a moment and said, "I think the blow you dealt to the headless dog that night was probably stronger than we expected."

"You defeated that fake in front of all the members and proved your identity. Later, you even held your own in the chaotic battle. Kiryu-kun, you should be famous by now."

Dou Tang dismissed it: "I've already experienced fame."

Yan Yuanmei shrugged and continued, "Now, according to my racing friends, many people have left Headless Dog, at least those who came for the racing have all left."

Dou Tang nodded: "The reduction of the headless dog is a good thing."

"No, this is not a good thing." Yan Yuanmei retorted with a frown, "Think about it, what will a biker gang organization become in the end without motorcycle racing?"

“A simple violent gang.” Dou Tang suddenly realized.

Yan Yuanmei nodded and continued, "So don't be fooled by their current calm; after a while, some of them will definitely lose their patience and start causing trouble."

She pointed at Dou Tang: "They may not..."

They might dare to cause you trouble again, but they'll definitely cause trouble for others.

“These biker gangs are different from delinquents who base themselves around schools; they’re the kind of people who are really capable of causing trouble.”

"Moreover, they can break into smaller groups at any time and blend into ordinary people, so there are no strongholds that can be captured in one fell swoop."

"As for now... sigh." Yan Yuanmei sighed, "There really isn't a good solution, but at least we can have some peace and quiet for a while."

“But you still can’t go back to that studio,” Dou Tang reminded her. “Everyone knows about that location; it’s too dangerous.”

Iwabuchi nodded in agreement.

"So... your place is pretty good. You even have a henchman to help you buy things when you make a phone call. Seriously, this isn't something those bald thugs could handle." Yan Yuanmei patted the sewing machine next to him and started chatting again. "To be honest, what do you do now? And what's the deal with this place?"

Yan Yuanmei was unaware that Dou Tang was friends with Xing Yiren, the leader of the Morning Star Group. She just felt that there were too many things about this boy that she couldn't understand.

Dou Tang replied evasively, "It's just that I have a rather useful friend."

"Speaking of which, the New Year is just around the corner... If you need anything, just call me and I'll come to your studio to get it for you."

Yan Yuanmei nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something, got up and ran to the wardrobe in the room. After opening the wardrobe, he took out a piece of clothing wrapped in transparent plastic sheeting, came to Dou Tang and shook it.

"These are my new designs that I plan to release next spring. Take them back first, and bring them over later so I can model them and take some photos."

Dou Tang raised an eyebrow as she examined the garment in front of her. It seemed to inherit Yan Yuanmei's consistent design style, a flamboyant and domineering short trench coat that accentuated her figure.

Looking at Iwabuchi Mei, who was angrily handing over equipment, Dou Tang suddenly felt like he was Cardcaptor Sakura.

Well... it's just that my Tomoyo has been split into two parts: one part is Michiko-sada, who records videos for me, and the other part is Iwabuchi-mei, who makes clothes for me.

Chapter 183 Fake Kiryu

"Hiss...whoosh...hiss..."

In a hotel room in Shinjuku, fake Kiryu was lying on the floor, breathing heavily.

"Why, why can't I beat him..." Sweat poured from his forehead, his face contorted with rage and regret.

He was shirtless, his clearly defined muscles twitching incessantly, as if his body was rebelling against the consciousness that controlled it, his entire body trembling unnaturally.

"Even though I've gained such great power... why can't I still beat him? Just who is that guy...?"

He muttered to himself as he burst into tears, which streamed down his face and fell onto the carpet.

"Ahhh...it hurts so much...it's so uncomfortable..."

After a while, the convulsions gradually stopped. He took a deep breath, and with his strength just recovered, he got up and struggled to lie down on the bed.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up, his expression turning gloomy, and he sighed.

Since being publicly defeated by Dou Tang, the fake Kiryu has gone into hiding. The biker gang he built up using his own power is on the verge of falling apart.

He never expected that the power he had painstakingly built would be so easily defeated.

Most of the messages on his phone were asking where he was and urging him to appear quickly to take charge. The internal division within the "headless dog" was already unstoppable, but if he appeared at this time, at least the damage could be stopped in time.

But his gaze lingered on the latest one.
