That thing is a retractable Tai Chi sword that old men and women use for morning exercises!
This is so hilarious!
Lu Zizhen stood still and shouted, then charged forward with his sword, sweeping it out!
Huaiyin, standing behind, looked ashen-faced.
Chapter 21: Three Mighty Men Under the Moon - Fall Guys Instantly Delivered!
As we enter a new era, although those monsters and evil spirits have gradually faded from people's sight, things that exist will not completely disappear even if they leave our sight.
No sword allowed? No problem, we'll just use a retractable sword.
No witch costume? No problem, just change into sportswear.
The evil spirits haven't changed; they are born from people's ugliness and hatred. But those responsible for exorcising them have changed, becoming more elusive and difficult to detect. They used to appear eccentric because this allowed them to reach more people seeking help.
But now, with information about many paranormal locations readily available online, these witches and Taoist priests have become more down-to-earth and have begun to conceal their whereabouts.
Road
Zizhen is that kind of person, but unlike those who hide their whereabouts, her style is still very unconventional, but it is her own personal preference.
For example, right now, a ponytail-wearing beauty wearing half-finished functional pants and a baseball jacket with transparent sleeves is running forward, her extendable sword shining brightly. She looks more like a "trendy girl from Ikebukuro" who likes to perform talents than an exorcist.
But the sword light in her hand was real; the telescopic sword, which was merely a formality, shone brightly in her hand. It was a reality belonging to this world that Dou Tang had never experienced before.
Upon closer inspection, the layers of paper wrapped around the sword hilt were slowly losing their color during the process.
Her eyes were sharp, and the Taoist blood that had been accumulating through history was awakening in her veins. That bloodline pulled her back to her past, where she had always taken it upon herself to kill evil spirits. And that past was not just hers.
Dressed in blue robes and cloth shoes, with dust on her toes, there are many people in this world who fight against evil spirits, a tradition that has never ceased from the ancient past to the present. Lu Zizhen comes from such a place.
Her heritage, passed down from the end of an ancient dynasty, gave her an unusual affinity for the supernatural from birth, just like Huaiyin. However, unlike Huaiyin, she also possessed the ability to exorcise supernatural beings.
Does this sound a bit like an urban fantasy novel?
But it's not that exaggerated. Rather than saying they have the ability to exorcise supernatural beings, it's more accurate to say that the members of this family have been influenced by supernatural beings, becoming more attached to them and more susceptible to their influence.
This is a double-edged sword; those who slay demons and eliminate evil will be targeted by the demons themselves, which is quite reasonable.
To the average person, they are demon-slaying experts, but that's about it.
At least it's not as scary as that Fall Guy who can directly touch spirits and is immune to all kinds of hallucinations.
But I digress. Let's get back to the present. Faced with Lu Zizhen's approach, the woman in the yellow coat on the ground didn't make a move and continued to suck the pig's bone marrow.
The sharp, gleaming silver blade slashed down.
"Choo choo choo—" A strange sound rang out, and countless drops of water transformed into sharp needles that suddenly rose from the ground without warning, yet with great restraint, stopping short of striking, deflecting Lu Zizhen's sword.
In that instant, Lu Zizhen received a message, and that was the only thought in her mind.
She is not an ordinary evil spirit; she has her own clear consciousness!
This thought made her quickly take a few steps back, parry with her sword, and watch the woman warily.
Seemingly sensing that the marrow in the pig bone was gone, the strange woman slowly retracted her tongue, then made a series of hungry swallowing sounds, slurping and slurping.
Lu Zizhen felt her hair stand on end. This was no time for jokes. Without turning her head, she quickly said, "Run home! Huaiyin, go find your brother!"
After saying that, she suddenly took a step back and threw out the three candies that Dou Tang had given her, showing no intention of holding back.
Then, she rushed towards Huaiyin, grabbed her and ran, leaving the two bags of groceries lying on the ground unattended.
The three candies fell to the ground and landed in the puddle at the feet of the evil woman.
The evil woman slowly and tremblingly folded her coat, allowing her exposed flesh to disappear back under the coat, and then stood motionless.
"crown……"
A cold yet soft voice came from behind the thick black hair. The voice trembled but was firm, and the tone was melodious and soft but also sinister, so sinister that it was somewhat indistinct and extremely eerie.
Lu Zizhen was unaware of the Crown incident; she only knew that Dou Tang was looking for sixty targets, and she was also unaware that Huaiyin, who was beside her, was one of the targets.
But Huaiyin knew that when she heard that word, she froze, looked at the evil woman in the middle of the road with disbelief, until Lu Zizhen pulled her away.
The evil woman, who was standing in the middle of the street, seemed to want to give chase, but instead focused her attention on the ground in front of her.
Three tall figures grew in the moonlight, gradually expanding, and stood in front of the evil woman.
Bathed in the cool moonlight, three muscular, well-built, and upright pink-clad men blocked the way. Incidentally, this muscular appearance was requested by Lu Zizhen; it was the most basic primal ability of Fall Guys.
[Muscle Transformation: Increases your current strength by 50%. A standard active skill usable with any set.]
The way these muscular men made their entrance also became bizarre. They first struck a pose on the spot, but unfortunately, it seems that the evil spirits had never seen JOJO, otherwise the scene would have been even more hilarious.
The three brothers under the moon make a grand entrance!
The leader of the Fall Beans let out a shout, pointed a finger at the evil woman, and then slashed his own neck, looking quite threatening.
The other three Fall Guys stood with their arms crossed, leaning to one side, looking at the evil spirit before them with disdain (perhaps).
Since anything possesses the capacity for thought, it would be astonished by the sight before it; any being in this world would be in the same boat.
After all, those were three pink-clad hunks in weird poses!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" the leading burly man yelled, then threw a punch!
"boom!"
The punch landed squarely on the evil woman, who was only wearing a yellow coat. She was sent flying, rolled several times on the ground, and landed a short distance away.
The two muscular Fall Guys next to him clapped excitedly.
"Slurp—" The evil woman lying on the ground suddenly made that swallowing sound again. After suffering such a blow, she was actually... hungry?
The water on the ground was spreading and slowly emitting a fishy smell like seawater. The woman's body was pulled up slowly by an invisible force.
The three muscular jelly-like men stood ready, arms outstretched, facing the evil woman in a posture of preparing to grab her.
But what happened next was far beyond people's understanding of evil spirits and the supernatural; it was practically "monsters."
On the gloomy street, a metallic golden light flashed, and beneath that light was a rapidly moving figure.
As the mysterious light disappeared, the street fell silent.
The sounds of thirstily sucking saliva disappeared, leaving only the crunching sounds of chewing.

The two hurriedly fled home.
As soon as he entered, Lu Zizhen exclaimed breathlessly, "It's terrible, Your Majesty! The monkeys have attacked the mountain!"
Dou Tang, sitting on the sofa, looked completely bewildered.
...?
Then he blinked, trying to appear calm, and said, "A monk with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth?"
Wait, why did you actually follow the joke?
Unexpectedly, Lu Zizhen responded very seriously: "No, it's a black-haired woman wearing a yellow coat, like Sadako in a different outfit, with a great figure. I reckon if she finds you, she'll definitely drain you dry."
No, you can drive on this road?
...?
Dou Tang raised one eyebrow, looking at Jerry with a puzzled expression.
Lu Zizhen shook the hilt of the sword in his hand and said, "An evil spirit has come knocking. It seems to be related to the damp, vengeful spirits that have been lurking around these past few days, and it can even think."
Dou Tang jumped to his feet, took two steps to the door, pressed down on Huai Yin's shoulder, and looked them both up and down: "Are you two alright?! Are you hurt?!"
Lu Zizhen rolled her eyes and said, "How could anything happen with me here? It's just that the three candies you gave me are gone. Can you remotely sense their current status? If we kill that evil spirit, we'll go back and check on them. All the stuff we bought is just lying on the ground."
"Don't let anyone else pick them up, damn it, there's still the last discounted egg of the day in there..."
...Is this the time to be focusing on that kind of thing? How can you be so out of touch??
Dou Tang tried to sense them, but found that he couldn't sense them at all. The three vengeful spirits had completely disappeared from his perception, as if they had never existed.
"No more sensation, tsk, something's not right."
Dou Tang checked the Crown Game's sensor again. The Crown Game could mark all Crown targets within 500 meters, but so far it had no results, only Huaiyin in front of him.
He shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look together."
The three went out the door, and Lu Zizhen put the retractable sword behind her back. The three of them soon arrived at the place where they had encountered the evil spirits before.
But at this moment, the small street in the residential area was quiet and empty, except for two bulging shopping bags on the ground.
Also, the entire street was wet, with puddles everywhere, as if a heavy rain had just fallen, but... it was filled with a strange, fishy smell.
Dou Tang sniffed and asked in confusion, "It seems there's nothing left here, not even any resentment."
Lu Zizhen walked to the shopping bags and squatted down to check if anything was missing, looking incredibly oblivious.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huaiyin quietly waved her hand. Doutang understood her meaning, bowed slightly, and leaned in to listen. Huaiyin whispered, "Brother, that evil spirit said the word 'crown'."
crown.
The fact that something from the original game came from the mouth of a strange evil spirit made the whole thing both bizarre and clearer.
A participant in the Crown Game, a thinking evil spirit, possessing the fighting power to hold his own against three clones of Fall Guys and even turn the tables on them.
trouble.
A murderous intent began to rise.
Huaiyin, who was whispering in Dou Tang's ear, suddenly shivered. She keenly sensed that the person who was just an inch away from her was caught in an increasingly intense and icy rage, just like... those times when he took her out to face evil spirits.
During those times, Huaiyin was always on edge, because his killing intent was undisguised and equally released to everyone around him, sending chills down one's spine.
But that cold aura quickly disappeared. Dou Tang smiled, narrowed his eyes, and straightened up.
In just a moment, the icy chill made Huaiyin break out in a cold sweat.
Huaiyin clearly realized that her brother was far more terrifying than the evil spirit she had encountered before.
He rarely reached out and touched Huaiyin's head, except...
He rarely interacts with Huaiyin physically when he is sleeping.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it, and this is a good thing."
Dou Tang looked at Lu Zizhen, who was walking over with a smile, carrying two bags. She waved the bags in her hands and said, "That exhibitionist didn't take anything, hehe."
Dou Tang shook his head helplessly and said, "Then let's go home first and make plans when we get back."
Reaching the street corner, Dou Tang took one last look at the empty street, firmly imprinting the fishy smell of the sea in his mind.
When you get home, you still have to do what you need to do. After all, no matter how panicked you are, you can't give up on life, right? You can't just stop drinking water and eating.
So Dou Tang and Lu Zizhen started cooking, while Huaiyin started reading and catching up on her lessons in the living room. Although she hadn't been to school for a year, she still took a lot of online classes.
The two cooked and began exchanging information.
Lu Zizhen was washing the duck in the sink when she said, "That evil spirit doesn't seem to be a possession type, but rather a more advanced, monster-like existence. It has its own body and various unconventional abilities, like an endless flow of water... That's pretty cool, isn't it?"
"Could you please stop driving?" Dou Tang asked helplessly as he picked at the vegetables, then added with a hint of curiosity, "But, do monsters really exist in this world? What would they look like?"
"Are you completely unaware that you are a monster?" Lu Zizhen looked at Dou Tang with a strange expression, and then said, "Monsters? What era are we living in now? Even if they still exist, they are rarely seen, especially after the widespread use of firearms."
