"So, if we want to ensure that we don't suffer losses in front of an extreme organization like the Morning Star Group, as the second-in-command, I naturally need to learn more. I represent my brothers."
The officer nodded, then said, "So, what about your chief? Or rather, your boss... I remember his surname is Kiryu."
Yangping thought for a moment and said, "Tori-nii is very busy. The things he's busy with... are beyond our capacity to handle. He also doesn't want us to get involved; it's too dangerous."
The officer's expression turned strange. He said, "Don't tell me that after male high school students unified Tokyo's delinquent circles, some kind of Tokyo urban killer high school student is going to appear..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ping's expression was even stranger than his. He glanced at him and said, "Officer..."
"Although people have all sorts of tastes, I still want to advise you to read fewer light novels?"
The officer coughed awkwardly twice and continued, "Also, I have something else I'd like to ask you."
"I heard that the leader of the headless dog is also that so-called Kiryu-kun. What's going on?"
"It's a fake."
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly turned cold.
Besides going through the process of taking a statement, the police officers came here for another reason: they wanted to get closer to Yohei, the currently known leader of the bald gang, and see if they could uncover any information about Kiryu-kun.
And, figure out whether the Kiryu-kun with the headless dog and the Kiryu-kun of the bald group are the same person.
At this point, the answer seems to have appeared.
Yangping gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with cold killing intent, and said through gritted teeth, "That headless dog, impersonating Brother Kiryu's name, and even raising such an arrogant and presumptuous team, I will absolutely not let them off."
The officer took another drag of his cigarette to compose himself, and asked dryly, "That Kiryu-kun is fake? How can you prove that the one you know is real?"
Yang Ping glared at the police officer and said in an unfriendly tone, "Because I was once a member of Ghost Island!"
"On the night Onigashima was destroyed, I dragged Kiryu-nii to the Onigashima base, and then watched him destroy Onigashima all by himself!"
Here comes the point!
The officer, somewhat excited, then asked, "So, do you think Kiryu has anything to do with the former leader of Onigashima, Ryunosuke Kanakawa?"
Yang Ping narrowed his eyes, then suddenly realized what was going on and said coldly, "So that's what you came to ask about."
"I can tell you with certainty that Ryunosuke Kanakawa's death has absolutely nothing to do with Kiryu-nii. Although he looks fierce, he is actually incredibly gentle."
He doesn't
"Possibly murder."
After saying that, Yangping asked in return, "What, does the police intend to reopen the investigation into Ryunosuke Kanakawa's case? I heard that he died because his motorcycle spontaneously combusted."
The officer looked away and mumbled, "Ryunosuke Kanakawa's body was stolen a month ago."
"Stolen?" Yang Ping raised an eyebrow.
"Later, a former member of Ghost Island told me that he had gone to see the people from Ghost Island... and they looked no different from when they were alive."
Yangping's eyes widened.
The officer could tell at a glance that he was stunned, but... why did he seem a little delighted? Isn't it terrifying for the dead to come back to life?
Yangping touched his gloves under the blanket, eager to try them on.
Chapter 5 Is there an underworld?
A resurrected dead person?
Yangping was quite excited.
Doesn't this sound like a paranormal event? Yay!
Seeing that Yang Ping seemed increasingly agitated, the police officer assumed he was distraught after hearing the news and said, "But don't be too scared. There's no such thing as the dead coming back to life. We suspect that some former members of Ghost Island are playing tricks, perhaps trying to reunite the former members of Ghost Island."
"So!" The officer wagged his finger, "You guys had better behave yourselves lately. Although I didn't catch you in today's incident, it doesn't mean you can always escape the law!"
"If I ever catch you doing anything wrong, I'll send you all to a juvenile detention center!"
Yang Ping nodded somewhat perfunctorily and said, "Don't worry, officer, we are all law-abiding good... good delinquents."
The police officer was speechless for a moment, looking at Yang Ping as if he were an idiot.
Good delinquents? What kind of delinquents are they?
Yangping awkwardly looked away and coughed twice.
After finishing his cigarette, the officer took out a metal box from his pocket, put the cigarette butt inside, and said, "Today, I'll end it here because your opponent is a headless dog."
He glared at Yang Ping and snorted, "But then, I have to emphasize again, behave yourself, little bald guy."
Yang Ping scratched his head, not to be outdone, and simply stared back.
The officer stared at him for a moment, chuckled, strode towards the ward door, opened it, and left, leaving behind a trail of voices in the corridor.
Shortly afterward, Yangping's underlings came back in, followed closely by Mikazuki and the men from the Mengnan Village, making the ward somewhat crowded again.
Mikazuki walked up to Hyouhei and said, "It seems your business here is finished?"
"It's over, it's over." Yang Ping nodded hurriedly, and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I'm afraid the situation would have been quite critical if I had fought that guy one-on-one."
But then he asked with some doubt, "Are you... Kiryu-nii's friend?"
Mikazuki nodded and then said, "What did that police officer say to you? He seemed aggressive; it didn't seem like he just wanted to chat with you."
Yangping hesitated for a moment, considering whether or not to tell anyone, but then he thought, these strange people around Kiryu-nii probably aren't ordinary people either, right? So there's no need to hide it at all.
So Yangping lowered his voice and told Mikazuki everything the police officer had told him.
After listening, Mikazuki's expression was a little strange. He nodded and said, "Okay... I understand. I will tell Tou-tang."
"As for you guys... Tokyo has indeed become increasingly chaotic lately. You should prepare to rein things in for a while."
Yangping nodded in agreement, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... sister, may I ask what Kiryu-nii has been busy with lately?"
Mikazuki tilted his head and thought for a moment.
What are you up to?
Accompanying myself around...
Yangping continued, somewhat embarrassed, "It's been almost two months since Kiryu-nii (Brother Kiryu) has seen the brothers. I've been hosting every gathering myself, and many of the new members haven't even met Kiryu-nii before..."
"Kiryu-nii, you must be very busy lately, right? You've been telling us to keep a low profile, but you still caused this mess today. If you hadn't come, I'm afraid..."
Yangping scratched his bald head and muttered to himself, a humble and embarrassed smile on his face, which made Mikazuki a little embarrassed.
Mikazuki awkwardly turned his head away and said, "Uh, I understand... I'll tell him, and then he'll contact you, um... that's it!"
"That's wonderful!" Yang Ping exclaimed excitedly.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mikazuki made an excuse and left with the men of the Mighty Man Village.
The sky in the distance was turning a pale white, the night had passed, the city was slowly waking up, and there were more pedestrians on the streets.
While fastening his seatbelt, Xiao Qin said, "On the way back, ah, you all better behave yourselves."
"If the traffic police find us, then everyone will have a good time."
He glanced back and continued, "After all, ah, we're overloaded."
The people who were stacked on top of each other in the back seat looked up, their faces full of innocence.
Mikazuki, in the passenger seat, turned his head, took out his phone and took a picture of the group, asking, "Do you often do this when you're in your beast form?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you that a human body is much heavier than a duck or an owl. Ah Tian is almost crushed to death."
"Tian, Tian, open your eyes!"
………………
Dou Tang woke up.
Opening my eyes and turning my head, I saw a tall, long-legged girl with a furtive look on her face. She had just climbed in through the window, carrying her shoes in her hands, staring with her emerald green eyes.
Seeing Dou Tang wake up, she gave an awkward smile.
Dou Tang asked in a deep voice, "Mikazuki, what did you do last night?"
Mikazuki hesitated for a moment, then said, "Investigate the mysterious Onmyoji, and... and help the bald guy fight."
At this moment, Huaiyin frowned, seemingly showing signs of waking up. She snuggled closer to Doutang and mumbled in her sleep, "Brother... be gentle, be gentle... huff..."
Mikazuki immediately squinted, giving him a look as if he were a pervert.
"Alas……"
Dou Tang touched his face helplessly.
"Let's talk about it after she wakes up... I came back late last night, and she didn't sleep well."
Upon hearing this, Mikazuki nodded, threw his shoes into the entryway, jumped onto the sofa, and nestled there like a big cat, twisting his body at an angle that was far too alluring for a human.
Dou Tang ignored her and continued to use his arm as a pillow for Huaiyin, closing his eyes to rest.
Cars occasionally passed by outside the window, and the manhole covers on the road made a clanging sound as they were run over. Apart from that, the street was very quiet.
Tranquility slowly filled the room, and warmth spread. The peaceful space made Mikazuki unconsciously let out soft breathing sounds, and she slowly smiled with the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Dou Tang, this kind of life is so good."
Dou Tang stroked Huai Yin's hair and softly hummed in agreement.
“But how long can this last… Tokyo seems to be getting more and more chaotic.” Mikazuki continued to mutter softly, his sharp fingernails scratching against the fabric of the sofa.
Her little actions are no different from when she was a cat.
"I've heard that many yokai are heading towards Tokyo, and there are even rumors in the yokai community that the underworld is getting closer to reality... Even though I am a yokai who seems magical to ordinary people, I find it incredible."
"The Yellow Springs... a place only the dead can go to. Dou Tang, do you think the Yellow Springs really exist?"
Chapter 6 Mikazuki's Feelings
Dou Tang remained silent for a long time, then put his arm around Huai Yin and said, "Since we know that there are souls in the world, how can there not be a Yellow Spring?"
"Why are you so talkative today? Also, stop scratching the sofa, it's too noisy."
Mikazuki pursed his lips and stopped what he was doing.
"Well, it was just something I felt compelled to say."
"……What's the meaning?"
Mikazuki sighed and told Toudou what the police officer had said. Then he said, "If that Ryunosuke Kanakawa really comes back to life, does that mean there is no such thing as the Underworld? After all, the dead can be resurrected."
"But Taira no Masakado also said that he returned from the underworld... and the so-called underworld is getting closer and closer to reality, which is really creepy."
Dou Tang muttered under his breath, "You're a demon, yet you find other monsters creepy..."
"I'm afraid of dying too, you know?" Mikazuki's voice was somewhat lonely: "If I can't find that Onmyoji, then my lifespan might be the same as an ordinary person's... I don't want that."
Upon hearing this, Dou Tang pondered for a moment and asked, "How old are you exactly?"
Upon hearing this, Mikazuki suddenly fell silent.
Dou Tang turned his head in surprise, only to find Mikazuki curled up on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
"...What are you pretending for? You fell asleep instantly, didn't you?"
Mikazuki opened one eye: "Asking a girl's age directly, are you really that rude?"
"...Just out of curiosity."
At this moment, Huaiyin, who was fast asleep, seemed to be disturbed and rubbed her head against Doutang's chin, making a soft "woof".
Dou Tang stopped talking, but raised an eyebrow at Huai Yin.
Mikazuki helplessly stretched out his hand and held up three fingers.
Dou Tang stroked Huai Yin's head and lowered his voice, saying, "Three hundred years old? Then you're old..."
Mikazuki's eyes widened in fury, and he gritted his teeth: "Thirty!"
“Auntie…” Dou Tang whispered.
Mikazuki clenched his fist.
Dou Tang quickly changed the subject, saying, "If there really is a Yellow Spring in this world... perhaps it's a good thing."
Dou Tang thought about the Fall Guys in the Fall Guys world. Wouldn't it be a good thing if they had the chance to be reincarnated? But... what kind of place is the Underworld?
The Fall Guys world is something you carry with you; in other words, it's like a manifestation of nothingness in your consciousness. The essence of those Fall Guys' souls is actually contained within Dou Tang's body.
