"This is Fall Guys Land, a place to cleanse the resentment of evil spirits."
The male host was both surprised and delighted, looking at Dou Tang: "Fall Guys, me, why am I here?"
“You are dead. I have collected your soul and the soul of the Blue Demon. You can have a competition here. The winner can return to the mortal world to fulfill a wish, and the loser will be immediately thrown into a milkshake to cleanse all evil.”
The blue demon bared its teeth, seemingly understanding that it could not resist, so it could only vent its dissatisfaction by making whooshing noises.
Then Dou Tang looked at the vengeful spirits with their severed heads and sighed, "You can also participate in this competition, but there can only be one winner in the end."
Since the vengeful spirits have no bodies, Dou Tang decides to bring his candy bean people along to participate in the competition.
He turned around and waved to Milkshake Ocean.
The entire ocean churned, with surging waves rising and falling, as if countless schools of fish were leaping in this thick milkshake.
While exploring the Candy Man Paradise, they witnessed an astonishing scene at the foot of the Wraith Mountain.
The candy-bean people cheered "Whoosh!" and soared into the sky, leaping towards the ocean in the sky and disappearing into it. He suddenly realized that it must mean that Ren Doutang had returned to this world.
He is recruiting jellyfish people to hold a competition.
"Puff puff!"
Countless round, bouncy jelly beans cheered as they jumped out of the ocean and then splashed onto the track.
Upon seeing this scene, the male host couldn't help but smile. He had long since accepted the fact of his own death, and seeing this scene now only brought him joy and happiness.
"Hahahaha..." He laughed and looked at Dou Tang, saying, "Where did these jelly bean men come from? Are they your companions?"
Dou Tang shrugged and said, "They are souls that I purified, and they have lost all memories of the mortal world. When they have had enough of this paradise, they can choose to reincarnate in the mortal world."
The male host's eyes lit up: "Reincarnation...reincarnation!?"
The Fall Guy doesn't have eyebrows, but he does have some decent protrusions on his head, making him look puzzled: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
The male host was somewhat incoherent: "You...you...you can control the cycle of life?"
Dou Tang shook his head: "No, I can only purify vengeful spirits and evil spirits."
"I can restore them to their most primal soul state, purifying their memories, personalities, and even sins. As for whether they reincarnate after returning to the mortal world... how would I know?"
The green demon got up from the ground, looked back at the heads that were clicking on the ground, and growled with a hostile gaze.
The Bean People gurgled as they walked over, hands on their hips, each holding a head on top of their own, as if wearing a hat that was too small. Then they stared at the Blue Demon with equally hostile eyes.
Thirty jelly bean people with heads acting as walking machines, thirty free jelly bean people, and then the blue demon and the male host.
The Fall Guys final elimination tournament with a total of 62 participants.
Dou Tang pointed to the track entrance and said, "I still really hope you can win, but I won't tolerate cheating, so I won't participate myself... This elimination round will be among you guys."
He slowly walked to the front of everyone, the track behind him radiating a mesmerizing, ever-changing light, with countless cookie and candy boards emerging from the light, gradually forming a huge uphill slope.
This slope is filled with countless rotating gates and giant swings, which divide into two tracks at the top of the mountain, with the same crown at the end of each track.
Behind the crown stand five enormous pillars, each topped with a highly abstract cannon that is now continuously spewing out huge pink boulders that roll down the track, giving it a bit of a pinball machine feel.
However, the difference is that the goal of the pinball machine is to go down, while the goal of the jelly bean people is to go up.
Dou Tang waved his hand magnanimously: "Mountain climbing competition!"
The people below, holding up their hands, are like jelly beans.
“Wuhu!!”
"Wuhu! Wuhu!"
"Wu~~hu!"
Looking back at the excited jelly bean people, the male host blinked and awkwardly raised his hand as well.
"Ugh... Oh dear?"
Seeing his adorable clumsy appearance, the Fall Guys hugged their round bellies and laughed.
Dou Tang waved his hand, and a standing microphone appeared out of thin air in his hand. Holding the microphone in one hand, he pointed at the male host and said, "Hey! One of our main characters today! What's your name!"
The male host was startled and quickly stood at attention, saying, "My name is Yusuke Uchiyama!"
"Not energetic enough! Louder!" Dou Tang teased.
Yusuke Uchiyama, neck stiff with arrogance, declared: "My name is! Yusuke Uchiyama!!"
"Great! Very energetic!" Dou Tang exclaimed, then pointed at Qing Gui: "So! Where's our other protagonist?!"
The Blue Demon let out a low, muffled growl, its eyes fixed on the Fall Guy.
Wow, you've got quite a temper, huh?
Dou Tang suddenly roared, "You have absolutely no energy! You think you can be a Fall Bean Man?!"
The green ghost was completely enraged. It strode up to Dou Tang, opened its blood-red maw, and Dou Tang could even smell the stench emanating from its soul.
"Roar! Roar!! Roar!!!"
Dou Tang squinted and reached out to push him back: "Okay, okay, I know you have a loud voice. Go back, go back."
Knowing he couldn't fight back, Aoki could only hope to win the elimination round and return to his position.
Dou Tang took two steps back and walked to the side of the track. He looked at the group of Fall Guys who were shouting and yelling. The vengeful spirits with their heads were whispering among themselves, seemingly plotting something. Meanwhile, the male host, Yusuke Uchiyama, was jumping around eagerly, glancing at Dou Tang every now and then.
Dou Tang glanced at the microphone and said, "Ahem, quiet down, quiet down, all contestants, take your positions!"
Those candy-beans who obeyed the vengeful spirit of the head quickly returned to their positions.
Dou Tang waved his hand.
"The knockout stage begins!"
Chapter 68 A Hero Worthy of the Crown.
Some confetti and fireworks appeared out of thin air, and then five cannons on the mountaintop roared, and five huge boulders fell onto the track and rolled down the road.
Aoki charged ahead, and Uchiyama Yusuke hesitated for a moment before quickly following.
His half-Oni body gave him many advantages, allowing him to easily keep up with Oni, but surpassing him was unlikely.
The first yellow triangular pedal on the track, Qinggui stepped on and leaped over it, then headed towards the rotating barriers.
He crashed into the striped section with a bang, and the barrier instantly began to spin faster. The Fall Guys, who were following behind, crowded around Yusuke Uchiyama and filed past on the other side.
The blue demon continued its fierce charge, seemingly unstoppable. It bravely and fearlessly crashed into the slowly rotating horizontal pendulum mechanism, as if it intended to smash the entire mechanism to its death, charging all the way to the mountaintop.
Dou Tang, standing at the beginning of the track, shook his head, his chubby body trembling, as if... as if he felt sorry for Qing Gui.
Tsk tsk tsk... Isn't this just courting death?
The blue demon charged forward headlong, bravely crashing into the pendulum!
"Pfft~"
A laughable squelching sound rang out, the pendulum made a sound like an inflatable toy, and then a tall, blue figure was sent flying by the impact.
The tall and powerful blue demon was unable to withstand the force of the pendulum...
The blue demon spun around and flew over Yusuke Uchiyama's head. Yusuke Uchiyama's face was full of "WTF", and his mouth was agape in an "O" shape.
The blue demon landed with a thud in a pile of jelly beans, rolling around like a bowling ball several times. The jelly beans he knocked down quickly got up, stretching out their arms.
Keep running forward, ignoring the blue demon completely.
Yusuke Uchiyama had never run so fast before. He was surrounded by 1.83-meter-tall Bean People, and he looked like a dwarf in the middle.
"Huff huff huff..." He was breathing heavily, not understanding why he needed to breathe even though he was dead.
Then, he stood in front of the pendulum and hesitated, unsure of what to do.
Just then, the cannons on the mountaintop roared again, and the boulders that had fallen earlier rolled down to the jelly bean men.
A huge boulder crashed into the pendulum, was violently propelled high into the air, and then fell like a meteorite with a loud bang, knocking the Fall Guy next to Yusuke Uchiyama off balance.
Yusuke Uchiyama screamed; he was genuinely terrified—if such a loud noise had hit him, he would have surely died!
This is practically a killing tournament! No, I'm already dead!
Gritting his teeth to muster his courage, he seized an opportunity, dodged, and narrowly caught the gap in the pendulum, squeezing through.
After passing by, he stopped and observed. The Bean People were still shouting "Whoosh whoosh" as if they were enjoying the elimination round, but the Bean People controlled by the Head Wraiths were not. They started looking for various gaps, such as running along the sides, which would greatly reduce the chance of being hit.
One of the jelly beans waved at him, and Yusuke Uchiyama quickly ran over and followed the jelly bean, moving along the corner of the wall.
The blue demon caught up, but filled with rage, it ignored the jelly-like figures that were hugging the walls and bravely took the main road, forging ahead.
A boulder came crashing down with unstoppable force. The Blue Demon roared angrily, his hands bulging with veins, as he actually tried to take the hit head-on!
Many Fall Guys around who witnessed this actually clapped and cheered!
That's courageous! As expected of you, Blue Demon!
Dou Tang, who was at the beginning of the track, slapped his face.
Why can't you learn your lesson...?
In Aoki's mind, this kind of stone couldn't possibly be stronger than those pendulums that were simply impossible to resist, could it?
But the truth is, nothing in the Fall Guys world can be explained by conventional reasoning.
"boom!"
The rolling stone made intimate contact with the blue demon's arm, and the blue demon was surprised to find that his proud arm strength was completely useless - the power of this stone was simply no match for it!
The rolling stone crushed it to the ground, and the poor green ghost rolled several more times, retreating more than ten meters!
This is outrageous! Can't we Qing Gui ever have any peace?!
Seeing the Blue Oni being sent flying once again, Yusuke Uchiyama felt that he had roughly figured out the rules of this world; in short, you can't break the rules.
Yusuke Uchiyama was greatly encouraged and rushed onto the track, but then looked worried.
There can only be one winner, but there are already many Fall Guys ahead of me. How can I win?
At that moment, the jelly bean-like figure temporarily controlled by the vengeful spirit patted his shoulder, gave him a thumbs-up with its comical hand, and told him not to worry.
Yusuke Uchiyama was puzzled, but he soon found out why.
The jelly bean people controlled by the heads seemed to have reached a consensus and attacked the jelly bean people around them. After reaching out, they pressed down on the jelly bean people as if they were glued to them, dragging them to their sides.
Of the thirty vengeful spirits, none of them rushed to claim the crown; instead, they chose to concede their victory to Yusuke Uchiyama.
Let this man, who helped them take revenge, ultimately kill the Blue Demon with his unwavering will.
Yusuke Uchiyama suddenly froze.
The jelly bean next to him gave him a push, bringing him back to his senses.
The roar of the blue demon came from behind; it had caught up. At that moment, Yusuke Uchiyama thought of the time when he was chased by the blue demon. At that time, he was immersed in terror, and the fear of death and the blue demon overwhelmed everything in his heart.
It is different now.
He said it to himself again.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
Tears streaming down his face, he rushed toward the mountaintop.
The blue demon was faster than him. The two ran on the opposite tracks and eventually jumped off at the same time, but the blue demon quickly rushed up the mountain.
How could I let you succeed!
With tears streaming down his face and gritting his teeth, Yusuke Uchiyama charged forward with incredible courage, reaching the summit where the crown, floating up and down, lay before him.
But he also saw the blue demon opposite him. The blue demon was a step faster than him, roaring as it leaped high into the air, its large blue hand reaching for the crown in the sky.
“Wuhu!!”
Just when he was in despair, he heard Fall Guys' shouts in his ears.
A pink hand grabbed the blue demon's ankle, stopping his upward momentum.
Two, three...
At the same time, several Bean People rushed up, their vengeful heads clicking and rattling, and the Bean People echoed with shouts.
They had the chance to become champions, and they had the ability to return to the mortal world and fulfill their wishes through the promise made by Dou Tang.
Which dead person doesn't want to return to the world?
But they have a clear sense of right and wrong; they understand that some things can be done and some things cannot.
