Yan Kai and Qing Tai came to the vicinity of Senshu 3-chome in Taito District. They quickly got into the sewer while no one was around to notice.
Dark and damp, with an unpleasant stench, this is the sewer in Tokyo, no different from the sewer in any other city.
Holding a flashlight in one hand and holding Qingta with the other, Yan Kai asked him, "Did you escape from here?"
One hand of Qingta was held by Yan Kai, and the other hand was covering her nose. After hearing Yan Kai's words, Qingta nodded desperately.
He escaped to the sewer through the "Riyoshihara" sewage outlet, and then ran out of the sewer.
"Can you still recognize the way back to 'Riyoshihara'?"
Yan Kai asked Qing Tai.
"I..." Haruta hesitated. At that time, he had just escaped from "Riyoshihara" and was in a panic. Moreover, the appearance of each section of sewers was highly similar, and the surrounding light was not good. Haruta really couldn't tell the difference. Not out.
"ok, I get it."
Upon hearing this, Yan Kai knew that Qingta could not find a way to enter "Riyoshihara", sighed, and then continued to search in the sewers.
"sorry……"
Haruta lowered his head in shame.
Yan Kai came to help him take care of his mother, but he didn't do anything, which made Qingta feel very uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I can't blame you."
It was already very difficult for an eight-year-old child to escape from such a magical cave. It was normal for him to not be able to remember the way back.
And Yan Kai suspected that even if he could remember it clearly, it would be of no use.
After Haruta, a captain of the "Shinsengumi" sneaked into "Riyoshihara", and he probably followed Haruta's traces to find him. If Haruta was just a little guy, and no one found out when he escaped, The captain of the "Shinsengumi" enters "Riyoshihara". If there is no reaction from "Riyoshihara", then it's time to stop messing around. Therefore, the sewage pipe that Haruta escaped from has probably been sealed, and we can no longer count on it. Enter "Riyoshihara" through that passage.
But even so, "Riyoshihara" was built underground under the original Yoshihara, so starting from the sewer, you can always find clues.
Of course, if possible, Yan Kai would not want to enter "Rijihara" in this way, but "Rijihara" can exist for so many years without anyone noticing, except that they are very strict in the selection of guests and will never allow strangers to enter. In addition, the secret entrance must also be an important reason.
Of course, Yan Kai can also go to those people who have put pressure on Yakushiji Ryoko. They must be guests of "Riyoshihara" and know how to enter "Riyoshihara", but the identities of those people are too sensitive. Even if Yan Kai It’s also not easy to touch them and give them a “cordial greeting.”
Of course, there is actually another way, which is to let JAcES come forward to investigate. With JAcES's power and connections in Japan, it is still very simple to find a sex den, but Yakushiji Ryoko is unwilling to do this.
The bad luck that came to "Riyoshihara" was her personal willful behavior. She didn't want JAcES to be involved. According to Ryoko Yakushiji's estimate, at least half of the top dignitaries in Japan were guests of "Riyoshihara". Ryoko Yakushiji I don’t want JAcES to be at odds with those people. Secondly...
Yakushiji Ryoko was not sure whether her father was also involved. Although Yakushiji's father was a workaholic, after the death of Yakushiji's mother, he concentrated on his work and had no interest in women at all, but for Yakushiji's father For people at this level, there are many things that you don't want to do just because you don't like them. Sometimes you have to go to such places even to discuss business with customers.
Even Yakushiji Ryoko would feel embarrassed thinking about such an embarrassing scene if her father was caught in a pornographic crackdown.
To sum up, regarding the method of entering "Riyoshihara", Yakushiji Ryoko could only let Yan Kai find a way on his own.
While walking seemingly aimlessly in the sewers, the only thing I could hear besides the "squeaking" noises of mice was the "didi-dip-dip" sound of water dripping.
Haruta was looking for clues everywhere very carefully. He knew that even if the sewage outlet he escaped from was sealed, "Riyoshihara" produced so much garbage every day, there couldn't be only one sewage pipe, so there must be similar ones in other places in the sewer. sewage outlet.
However, Qingta noticed that Yan Kai lowered his head when walking and never seemed to look to both sides, which made him doubt whether Yan Kai was here to help him save his mother.
The aunt who took her in said that the man wearing glasses was a martial artist, which made Haruta even more worried.
To be honest, Haruta doesn't have a good impression of martial artists. Not only are there many martial artists in "Riyoshihara" who are working hard for "Rijihara", oppressing those poor wandering girls and their low-level servants, but also those who often come to "Riyoshihara" There are also martial artists among the guests, and compared to other guests, those martial artists are often more cruel. They simply use the wandering girls who serve them as objects, and they are also disposable items.
In "Riyoshihara", it is difficult for wandering girls to live beyond the age of thirty, and the reasons for killing them are various, including various x-ray diseases, suicide in despair, being beaten to death for not serving the guests well... there are so many ways to die. , was tortured to death by a martial artist. This method of death must be ranked in the top three, so martial artists are also the most unwelcome guests of the wandering girls in "Riyoshihara".
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't welcome him. After all, Yume has no choice at all in "Riyoshihara".
Could it be that he just planned to take me around here and then go back to do business?
Haruta thought in his heart.
Although he is young, he has gained a lot of experience. When others were still acting coquettishly in their mother's arms, he and his adoptive father had already begun to serve those wandering girls and interacted with people from all walks of life in "Riyoshihara". I have met many people who are lazy and cunning, is Yan Kai the same?
"Wait, I found it!"
Just when Haruta was thinking about how to go back and complain to Yakushiji Ryoko, Yan Kai suddenly stopped and said.
"Found it? Found the sewage outlet?"
When Qingta heard what Yan Kai said, he immediately stopped thinking about everything else and looked around, trying to find the sewage outlet that allowed him to escape.
But soon, Qing was disappointed. Although the light of the flashlight was not enough to illuminate the sewer, judging from the place where the flashlight shined, there was no trace of a sewage outlet at all. He had been tricked!
This person is really a bastard, right? Then is he going to threaten me and silence me?
Haruta said nervously.
He is not afraid of being threatened, after all, he has nothing to lose, but he is afraid that his mother will stay in the dark "Riyoshihara" forever.
The "flowering period" of an oiran is very short, but my mother has been an oiran in "Riyoshihara" for more than ten years.
This is a privilege, but it is also an unimaginable resentment, because in "Riyoshihara", all wandering girls live like dogs, and only oirans can live a slightly better life and are sought after by the powerful. .
After all, "Ri Yoshihara" is not the real Yoshihara in history. The Yoshihara in history could have countless guests every day, but few people even know that "Ri Yoshihara" even exists. The number of guests every day ranges from dozens to more than a dozen. And how many wandering girls are there in "Riyoshihara"? Thousands of them!
"Riyoshihara" does not keep idlers. If a wandering girl is ignored for a month and there is no regular customer, she will be eliminated.
And the meaning of cleaning is completely literal. It is treated as garbage, swept into the garbage pile, and then thrown into the garbage pipe along the garbage pipe. I don’t know where it is thrown.
It can be said that every wandering girl in "Riyoshihara" lives in a precarious fear, fearing that she will not be favored by customers and will be eliminated. However, there is such a wandering girl who has endless customers to accompany her every day. Let me ask. Do the other Ayou girls hate her?
Haruta heard from his adoptive father that in the past, every oiran would end up extremely miserable after he retired. Those oirans who resented the oiran for taking away the guests' attention from them would try their best to torture the fallen oiran, and for these, "Li Yoshihara" doesn't care. After all, the "old woman" who can't attract customers will be bullied if she is bullied. Not to mention being bullied, it doesn't matter even if she dies.
In the past, oirans were replaced every few years, but those oirans were so resented. His mother, Nichiwa Taifu, sat in the position of oiran for ten years. Haruta couldn't believe the resentment behind it.
Therefore, Haruta must take his mother away before she retires from her position as oiran. This is why he risked his life to escape.
"Don't look both ways, look here."
Yan Kai stamped his feet, attracting Qingta's main force to his feet.
"here?"
Haruta's immature face was full of confusion.
"That's right, it's right here." Yan Kai nodded, and then said, "'Rijiyuan' is down here!"
Haruta rolled his eyes.
Of course he knows that "Riyoshihara" is down here. Ever since he was sensible, he has known that "Riyoshihara" is underground under Hara Yoshihara, but what's the use? It's not all in vain that they can't find the way down!
Yan Kai ignored the disdain in Qingtai's eyes and said to Qingtai: "Hold your hands!"
"?"
Haruta didn't have time to ask questions. He suddenly screamed and felt his feet go empty, and then he fell.
After grabbing Haruta from a high place and falling down, Yan Kai's eyes quickly scanned below, and he quickly saw the surrounding environment clearly. It was a Japanese-style courtyard, and there was even a small bamboo forest in it.
Stepping on his left foot with his right foot, he used the power to turn in the air. Yan Kai led Qing Tai towards the small bamboo forest. When he landed in the small bamboo forest, his toes stepped on the bamboo branches, making the long bamboo tremble, but Yan Kai had already moved himself All the gravitational potential energy of the fall was removed, and then it slowly floated down.
Qingta felt dizzy and confused, and had no idea what had just happened.
"Where is this?"
Yan Kai asked Qing Tai.
He had just walked around the sewer, but there was no sound of anyone except where he had just stopped, so he opened a hole in that place and jumped down from it with Haruta.
Fortunately, the height of "Riyoshihara" is not too high, and Yan Kai can easily get down with a child. Otherwise, he might be fine, but Haruta might suffer a little.
"here……"
Qingta shook his head, and just when he was about to speak, he was lifted up by Yan Kai, and he felt dizzy again.
Oops, I feel like vomiting!
Haruta heard that there is a symptom called "motion sickness" outside. He has never been in a car and doesn't know what motion sickness feels like, but he thinks it should be similar to how he looks now.
You want to kill me, right?
Qingta wanted to question Yan Kai like this, but when he rolled his eyes, he immediately discovered that there were two kunai inserted into the ground under his feet, and he was shocked.
"I thought there was no one there, I seemed to have missed it."
Yan Kai also held two kunai in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face.
He used super hearing to eavesdrop on the "Riyoshihara" below through the thick soil layer. He didn't hear anyone's voice, so he thought there was no one down there. Unexpectedly, he still missed it.
"Who dares to break into Baihua!"
A woman suddenly jumped out and questioned Yan Kai loudly.
This woman is wearing a black yukata with only the left sleeve. She has a strong figure and a hint of danger. She has a hair ornament similar to a kunai in her forehead. What is really impressive is her beautiful face. Above, there is a very obvious scar on the left forehead and left face respectively.
"Sister Yueyong, it's you, great!"
Haruta was immediately happy when he saw the woman with the scar on her face. Sure enough, he had returned to "Riyoshihara"!
"Haruta?"
The woman with the scar on her face changed her expression when she saw Queen Mother Qing in Yan Kai's hand.
"It's me, Sister Yueyong, I'm looking for someone to save mom...you guys!"
Haruta said happily.
The woman whom Qingta called Yueyong suddenly changed her face when she heard what Qingta said, and said angrily: "What nonsense, get back here!"
She tried her best to send Haruta out of the tiger's den of "Riyoshihara", hoping that he could live on their behalf and see the sunny world outside, so that it would be in vain for Nichirin to name him "Haruta". As a result, he just ran back to this dark place. Didn't he waste all her efforts and sacrifices on Rilun?
Qingta was startled by Yue Yong's scolding, but he still said stubbornly: "Sister Yue Yong, I will not go back. If I want to go back, I will only leave with my mother!"
Hearing that Qingtai remembered the sun wheel, Yue Yong felt moved in her heart, but she knew that this was almost impossible. If Qingtai did not leave, not only would he die, but the sun wheel would also be implicated.
"It's me, Sister Yueyong, I'm looking for someone to save mom...you guys!"
Haruta said happily.
The woman whom Qingta called Yueyong suddenly changed her face when she heard Qingta say this, and said angrily: "Nonsense!"
She tried her best to send Haruta out of the tiger's den of "Riyoshihara", hoping that he could live on their behalf and see the sunny world outside, so that it would be in vain for Nichirin to name him "Haruta". As a result, he just ran back to this dark place. Didn't he waste all her efforts and sacrifices on Rilun?
