When she tried to investigate further, she was taken into custody by Lu Zizhen.
Lu Zizhen's strength made her realize that there were abnormal existences in the world outside of the Crown Game, and at the same time, she had no choice but to lower her head.
Fortunately, Lu Zizhen did not make things difficult for her, but from what she said, she wanted to dedicate herself to a certain being.
That being might be another contestant.
Not wanting to be manipulated again, after leaving Lu Zizhen, she frantically hunted down her former enemies. Every time she erased the names engraved in her heart, the memories of her past life became clearer. She had a premonition that when her revenge was over, she would definitely be able to... be able to let go of some of her resentment.
If that time comes, could I gain a new life by discarding the crown? Even... even if it means appearing as this malevolent spirit before me?
Two days ago, she killed an enemy, and the return of her reason and memory finally brought back her most important memories.
first name.
She stood in the crater of water and blood, her black hair dancing wildly like thousands of thin, black snakes, restless and agitated.
Looking at the tattooed corpse in front of her, she murmured to herself.
"So, my name is... Kuroki Keizaki?"
"...Kuroki Keisaki, is that right?"
Dou Tang slammed the document back at him.
Xingyi quickly caught it to prevent the document from falling into the oden pot.
Several days later, the former members of the Peach Hermitage finally identified the most likely... deceased person from their memories.
With this information in hand, Xingyiren arranged to meet Doutang at a stall at the dock.
"Yes, they kidnapped this hostess, took her to a beach 200 kilometers away from Tokyo,... raped her, killed her, and threw her into the sea."
Dou Tang's face was etched with obvious frost and anger as he coldly asked, "Why?"
Xingyi sighed: "Perhaps it's pressure, perhaps it's desire, or maybe that woman knows something she shouldn't know. The motives behind those people's actions are never the issue."
Even through the steam from the boiling soup pot, Xingyi could still clearly see the angry face opposite him.
"Are you aware of what they've done?" Dou Tang's voice was cold and ruthless.
“I don’t know, of course I don’t know… I’ve always been kind to the men and women under my command.” Hoshino sighed. “I’m in the sex business. If I treat the women who work for me as tools, it would be too… unfair to them, wouldn’t it?”
Dou Tang nodded to indicate that he understood. Xing Yiren treated his subordinates, especially women, very well. After all, he had been with a virtuous woman by his side until today.
"So, what do you plan to do with those people?"
Upon hearing this question, Xingyi hesitated for a long time before asking, "What do you think I should do?"
“According to the rules of the Morning Star Group, these people should cut off their fingers as an apology, but I feel you won’t agree to that.”
Dou Tang raised his head: "Those people should receive the punishment they deserve."
"If that's the case, people will say I'm not worthy of being a yakuza. Why kill more than a dozen people just because one person died? And all for a woman who is completely unimportant to me."
“Kid, I can’t do that. I can’t do such a thing for someone who is already dead.”
Dou Tang picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and frowned, saying, "I want the culprit."
Xingyi gave a long "hmm," seemingly considering whether the deal was worth it, but finally nodded: "Okay, but I want the person who will stop bothering me with that evil spirit."
"it is good."
Dou Tang slammed the cup down; the wine inside had vanished.
Chapter 58 Take revenge, then hand over the crown.
Two more days passed.
All former members of the Peach Hermitage were gathered together and housed in a bustling shopping mall. Tou Tang was certain that the evil spirit named Kuroki Keisaki would not attack places with too many people.
The culprit was taken to the dock where Xingyi had previously set up his stall. It was deserted at night, so Doutang could at least act freely there.
"Boss, please listen to me. I really know I was wrong. I just... I just secretly dealt with an escort girl without telling you. It didn't have to come to this!"
Xingyi stood at the warehouse entrance, a sword at his waist. His long, wide coat covered half of the sword, but he could draw it in an instant if he wanted to.
But he still felt uncertain, after all, he was not facing humans, but evil spirits.
In the very center of the warehouse sat a chair, where the mastermind behind the Peach Hermitage had been sitting, bound tightly with ropes.
Hoshino was getting annoyed by his calling. He stood at the warehouse door and shook his head: "Fujitora, you know what you did. Since you broke the rules, you have to accept the punishment. Not to mention how much trouble you've caused the group."
The man named Fujitora struggled violently: "Boss, I don't understand what you're talking about at all. What trouble... are you referring to the recent murder case? I assure you that it has nothing to do with me!"
"As for that Kuroki Keizaki, I'm willing to cut off my finger as an apology in front of Wakato! Cut off my finger! Is that not allowed?"
"The person is already dead, must I, for the sake of such a... such a lowly person..."
"You're even more despicable than her!" A voice suddenly came from outside the warehouse.
Dou Tang walked over slowly, dressed simply, wearing only a close-fitting turtleneck sweater on top and tapered pants for easy movement on the bottom.
He looks like a tall, slender model, or a dancer.
The worry on Xingyi's face eased a little: "I thought you weren't coming."
“I always keep my promises,” Dou Tang replied, walked into the warehouse, and looked at Fujitora: “Hey, Fat Tiger, good evening.”
Fujitora stared wide-eyed: "You, who are you?"
But then he seemed to have imagined something, and glared at Xingyi at the door: "Ah, I get it, BOSS, all that talk about punishment, it's all fake, right! You never believed us from the beginning! You look down on us people from the Tao'an Group from the bottom of your heart!"
"This guy is the assassin you hired, isn't he! My brothers... were actually killed by the people you hired! You treacherous beast who stabbed me in the back!"
Dou Tang went up and slapped him.
"You little bastard, I'm going to kill you..."
This time, Dou Tang smacked him on the chin, and the chubby Fujitora immediately tilted his head and fainted, and the warehouse fell silent.
"What about the things we prepared?" Dou Tang asked Xing Yiren.
Xingyi pointed to the side of the chair, where a small blackboard had been prepared.
Dou Tang picked up the small blackboard, wrote something with chalk, and then hung it on the unconscious Fujitora.
Xingyi walked over curiously, then looked speechless: "You plan to deal with that guy with this?"
Dou Tang threw down the chalk: "No, this is just my kindness, using his life to give Kuroki Keizaki peace of mind."
The blackboard read: I am the one who killed you. I apologize to you. A life for a life. Please take my life.
"Next, we just have to wait, wait for her to appear."
After saying that, the two slowly walked into a room inside the warehouse that had been converted from a shipping container. This room was originally the living quarters of the warehouse security guards and had been temporarily requisitioned.
With all the lights off, Dou Tang and Xing Yiren sat in the darkness, watching the figure in the warehouse.
A long time passed, about an hour and a half.
Until... the crown target appeared in my perception.
Dou Tang was a little excited, but quickly calmed down.
As expected, the damp evil spirit was none other than Kuroki Keisaki.
So why did she stop Huaiyin in the first place? If she had any thoughts, would she have been attracted to Huaiyin's supernatural abilities?
The target I was sensing was getting closer and closer, and soon I arrived at the warehouse door.
Fortunately, the other Crown Targets don't seem to have the ability to sense things, unlike Dou Tang who can directly detect hidden contestants.
This makes him more like a hunter, a hunter who leaves no prey undetected.
Dou Tang and Xing Yiren looked towards the door. In the dark, cold night, the moon outside the door cast a faint light, illuminating a beautiful figure at the warehouse entrance.
The figure was dressed in an elegant long dress, with her long black hair flowing down her back. She exuded a delicate and charming aura that made people feel sorry for her.
She slowly
Upon entering the warehouse, I noticed I was wearing a pair of sneakers, leaving wet footprints on the ground.
She approached Fujitora, seemingly puzzled as to why her target had fainted. She bent down slightly to examine the small blackboard closely, then took a half-step back, appearing somewhat surprised.
"That's an evil spirit? It looks... no different from a normal person," Xingyiren whispered.
Dou Tang hummed in agreement: "Before the Slit-Mouthed Woman took off her mask, wasn't she just like a normal person?"
As they were talking, Kuroki Keizaki slowly covered her face, seemingly hesitant or in pain. Her hair behind her fluttered slightly, trembling and restless.
Seeing this, Xingyi swallowed hard and remained silent. The mysterious woman before him had already proven the existence of evil spirits through her actions.
Then, a loud scream was heard.
"Die! Die, die!"
Countless strands of hair suddenly straightened and pierced Fujitora's body like spears. This wicked yakuza member died without a sound.
Dou Tang could see that his blue soul was wrapped in his hair and slowly flowed into Kuroki Keisaki's body.
Xing Yiren was somewhat surprised to find that Dou Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
Dou Tang stood up and said, "Alright, you stay here and hide. Don't go out. Also, you can remember what happened tonight, but you must not tell anyone."
"Otherwise, my methods would be even more terrifying than Kuroki Keizaki's."
Hoshigi nodded firmly: "Don't worry, keeping secrets is a rule that the Yakuza must abide by."
Dou Tang nodded in satisfaction, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Suddenly seeing someone push open the door and walk out in the darkness, Kuroki Keisaki was clearly startled. All her long hair was pulled out of Fujitora's body and fell back down neatly behind her.
"Don't be nervous, relax." Dou Tang's tone was calm as he stepped forward, sizing up the evil spirit before him.
If you disregard her previous act of murder and ignore the thick moisture emanating from her body, no one would think that this thing is actually a resurrected evil spirit.
“We’ve met, or rather, I’ve met those corpses that you’ve controlled.”
Upon hearing this, Kuroki Keisaki looked at Tou-tang with some surprise until Tou-tang actually stepped into the moonlight.
She first confirmed that the person in front of her was not the target of her revenge, and then she trembled.
Seeing that she seemed to have suddenly become very afraid of him, Dou Tang shook his head helplessly.
Although the enormous crown is not visible.
Although it was impossible to discern anything from the person in front of me.
But like a biological instinct, Kuroki Keisaki knew in an instant that the person in front of him was... the owner of the Supreme Crown.
A blue light ignited in Dou Tang's eyes.
"You've figured it out? Then I think you understand the current situation."
"...Hand over the crown, you poor thing."
Chapter 59 I am your gift
A dead body should not be able to feel fear.
One could even say that one is the embodiment of fear, a vengeful spirit, a life that has already died; in any case, one is the one that humanity should fear.
But the person in front of me is more terrifying and frightening than I am.
Dou Tang stood upright in the moonlight, his hands in his pockets, his feet slightly apart, his eyes gleaming with a faint blue light, his gaze filled with pity.
Kuroki Keisaki stood there, her black hair trembling uncontrollably. The sea breeze blew in from the warehouse entrance, but her hair remained completely unaffected.
Seeing the flames in Dou Tang's eyes, Kuroki Keisaki trembled and took a deep breath, "You... are you a contestant for the Supreme Crown?"
Dou Tang frowned: "The Supreme Crown?"
"You must be it, you absolutely have to be it, it can't be you..."
Kuroki Keisaki seemed not to be listening to Tou-tang's words, muttering to herself with a complex mix of emotions in her eyes.
Then she suddenly looked up, a pleading look on her pale, pretty face: "But it hasn't been a month yet, has it? I... I don't belong to you!"
"Of course you don't belong to me, you don't belong to anyone, what do you mean by that?"
Dou Tang tilted his head in confusion. Kuroki Keizaki's words made him feel that there seemed to be more to the story.
But Kuroki Keisaki didn't answer. Instead, she suddenly sprang up, her black hair spreading out like a dark spider web!
All I could see were long, black hairs, like countless fine steel needles!
Dou Tang snorted coldly, leaned back, and did a backflip. But when his hands touched the ground, he bent and gathered his strength, pushed hard, and his body flew backwards for several meters in the air before landing in empty space, as if his body were a feather.
