"Who?"
Dou Tang grinned.
"I'm here to buy something."
"…What are you buying?"
"Your fingers."
Chapter 34 Night Demon
No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pulled open by an angry man behind it. A burly man appeared behind the door, gripping a short knife tightly in his hand, and stabbed at Dou Tang's waist and abdomen at a very sinister angle.
Dou Tang smiled and went to meet him. With a sudden burst of strength, he struck the inside of the big man's wrist with one hand, deflecting the originally powerful thrust. He then pressed the man's hand against the door frame and crushed it hard.
"what!!"
The burly man screamed in agony as the dagger flew from his hand. He tried to fight back with his other hand, only to find that Dou Tang's other hand had somehow also gripped his wrist.
In an instant, his hands fell into Dou Tang's control. Dou Tang grinned ruthlessly and pulled his hands down forcefully.
"Crack!"
"what!!!"
Under Dou Tang's inhuman power, which ordinary people could not withstand, the big man's wrists were shattered, his hands were dislocated, and he screamed and knelt on the ground.
From the perspective of those inside the house, after the burly man screamed and fell to the ground, a strange man with wide, blue eyes was revealed.
Dou Tang smiled, tossed the burly man aside, and went into the room.
The living room is quite ordinary. Apart from a few desks, there is a reception area with a low table and sofa. It looks like a typical company office.
At this moment, five people stood up from behind their desks, two of whom were even wearing glasses and dressed like ordinary office workers.
But this place is certainly not simple. Dou Tang could already smell the faint stench of decay on these people due to the excessive consumption of Baoyu Sugar Pills.
Everyone raised their guns, and one of them pointed his gun at Dou Tang, saying, "Who are you! Bastard, hands up!"
Dou Tang didn't reply, he just shook his head.
"Hey, you bastard... open..."
"Oh!"
Before he finished speaking, Dou Tang had already crouched down and kicked the low table that was placed in front of him into the air!
The low table that flew through the air slammed down on the man with the gun, while Dou Tang continued to bend over, crashing into the aisle between the desks like a fierce tiger charging forward, using the desks to conceal his figure.
His footsteps were silent; to others, it was as if he had suddenly vanished after kicking the table over.
One of them had just clicked his tongue and looked around when he slightly lowered the muzzle of his gun, but he felt a gust of wind blow past him!
"Oh!"
Starting from the bottom up, the waist and spine drive the shoulders, then the entire arm, using the wrist (half-clenched fist) as the striking point, like a cat stretching, delivering a punch that hits the enemy's chin squarely.
The vibration from his chin reached his brain in an instant, causing him to fall into a coma.
"What's wrong?!"
The companions who were watching each other in the distance looked up in surprise. Because Dou Tang's voice was so soft, the others had not yet realized what was happening over there.
They looked in the direction of the sound, but the figure of their colleague who had been standing behind the desk had disappeared.
Fear began to spread.
This is the effect Dou Tang wanted.
Dou Tang took a few pens from the desk that was just for show, then silently disappeared into the aisle again, heading towards his next target.
"Pfft!"
The others were still focused on the direction of the person who had fallen earlier, but then they heard another muffled thud. Turning their heads, they saw another person fall down with a groan.
The others finally couldn't take it anymore, and the one closest to Dou Tang roared, "Die! Die!"
"Bang bang bang bang-"
Dou Tang ran unhurriedly, the gunshots not far away and the sounds of objects being hit behind him all flooding into his mind, melting into a radar that didn't need vision.
At the same time, several pens shot out, like sharp arrows piercing the ceiling.
"Bang! Bang!"
With a few sharp sounds, all the lights in the office went out, plunging everyone into darkness.
They fired shots in a busy area! We can't delay any longer. We need to finish this quickly, find out the next address, and leave immediately.
Dou Tang completely transformed into a dark shadow, blending into the darkness of the corridor, and dashed toward his next target.
Another person lowered their head and saw two blinding blue lights rising from the shadows beneath their feet.
"Oh!"
The sounds of blows and bodies falling to the ground filled the air, but even so, no one heard the attacker's footsteps.
Fear continued to spread, gradually turning into panic.
source.
"Get out! You bastard!"
"Bang bang bang!"
In their panic, the members of the Headless continued their attack, but they couldn't find the enemy at all. In their confusion, they were also unable to fire properly, and one of them even had his gun knocked away by the recoil.
Dou Tang continued running towards the next person.
"Oh!"
It's the same old story; yet another person falls in the darkness.
Until the last person, powerless and panicked, kept pulling the trigger, but no more bullets could be fired.
After hearing the sound of the gun going empty, Dou Tang stood up from behind his desk, walked step by step toward the last person, and grabbed him by the collar.
Azure flames burned fiercely in his eyes, eroding the little remaining reason in the person in front of him.
"Tell me, who gave you the drugs? Who is your superior?"
"Oh, ah... Help, help me... Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"Tell me!" Dou Tang suddenly roared.
"Useless fear as a waste of time! Speak up if you want to live!"
"What is 'Zhouyin Shouwu'?! Who is your superior?!"
“Gah, ah…” The headless member’s face was covered with tears and snot. He choked out in fear, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk… It’s, it’s, it’s a group of guys who call themselves monsters… The contact was a woman with very long hair. She said her name was, her name was Maolang… We just got our supplies from her!”
"Where did the gun come from?!"
"We were originally just a down-on-his-luck yakuza, and we only started to grow stronger after obtaining the medicine... We know nothing else!"
Seeing the panic in the man's eyes, Dou Tang knew he wasn't lying.
It seems the person behind this so-called "Headless Judgment" is very well hidden... This kind of yakuza with guns, who is inaccessible to ordinary people, is actually just a lower-level figure.
Aromatic buttercups...a yokai...could it be a yokai force in Tokyo? Then Mikazuki should have some clues.
Dou Tang narrowed his eyes and said, "From today onwards, I don't want to see these drugs in Ikebukuro to relay messages to the people behind you."
"Just say..."
Dou Tang suddenly stopped.
Should we reveal Fall Guys' name?
No, no.
Here, you must use a name that is completely unknown, so that the other party will feel confused. The name Fall Guy has already spread throughout the monster world, and it might scare the other party away.
"Just say that Mr. Ren is very dissatisfied with them."
The members of the group nodded hurriedly, not daring to utter a single word.
Dou Tang was satisfied and released him, then walked towards the door.
By the door, the burly man, panting heavily, was still struggling in excruciating pain. When he saw Dou Tang approaching, he instinctively tried to back away.
Dou Tang took out his phone from his shirt, dialed the police number, and threw it back at him, saying, "Tell me everything that happened here, including your drug sales. If I find you still operating outside, you can forget about your life."
The burly man lowered his head, not daring to answer.
Dou Tang ignored him, stepped out of the security door, and went downstairs.
Chapter 35 Correcting the Sound Without a Head
"Kiryu-kun, I've taken the two children to the safe house."
Dou Tang held up his phone, listening to Kuroki Keizaki's report, and nodded slightly.
There's no need to worry about Kuroki Keisaki's loyalty, and the safe house is brand new, with sensory-blocking talismans from the Shinsen family affixed to it. Even yokai won't be able to detect anything hidden inside. The two high school students are safe now.
Dou Tang certainly didn't think he could take down the Jiuyin Shouwu organization in one night. The organization's secrets were still too mysterious, and Dou Tang didn't plan to make a move until he had enough information.
Although there are no plans to take action, it doesn't mean that we can't make an example of them; this operation is a case in point.
Before the hunt, a notice is given.
After hanging up with Kuroki Keisaki, Toudou dialed Mikazuki's number.
Yes, that's right. Mikazuki also has a phone, although it's a children's smartwatch, but it's enough for it.
By the way, Dou Tang helped me get the phone card; it was Dou Tang who got the "children's card".
"Meow—?"
A lazy meow came from the other end of the phone.
"Help me look something up." Dou Tang got straight to the point.
“Speak, I’ll help if I can,” Mikazuki replied.
"Who is the organization that 'Jiuyin Shouwu' is? Who is its leader? I need to know all of this."
“Jiuyin Shouwu…” Mikazuki’s tone was somewhat troubled: “This is not an easy thing to deal with.”
"Focus on the key points."
"Recently, a powerful yokai has awakened in Tokyo, named... Taira no Masakado!"
After speaking in a mysterious tone, Mikazuki paused for a long time.
Dou Tang asked, somewhat puzzled, "And then?"
"...Taira no Masakado!"
"Ah, I heard that. And then?"
A rather disappointed sigh came from Mikazuki's side: "How come you don't even know Taira no Masakado!"
"...Should I know?"
"Every Japanese person should know that, right?! Don't you have any common sense?"
Dou Tang no longer cared whether his identity would be exposed. In any case, the only person he truly cared about was Huai Yin.
To other people who know you, you are simply yourself. Kiryu Toudou and Ren Toudou are just different names; only a few will perceive a difference.
Huaiyin.
As for Huaiyin... thanks to his self-disclosure of his identity from the beginning, Huaiyin had already accepted him.
"I lack common sense, so please explain it to me."
Mikazuki choked for a moment, then sighed helplessly once again.
"All right……"
"Taira no Masakado is a notorious evil spirit; he was once..."
After listening to Mikazuki finish speaking, Tou Tang summarized: "So to put it simply, he was an ancient rebel who was beheaded and became a vengeful spirit."
"Then, faced with the rebels who had become vengeful spirits, neither the government nor the people chose to fight to the end. Instead, they worshipped him, and now it's even like worshipping a god. Whenever a huge building or public facility starts construction, they have to worship him?"
"...To be honest, isn't this a bit... cowardly?" Dou Tang frowned with a strange expression.
