Yuan Zhisheng was floating in the sewage. The water was full of various suspended matter. From the eyepiece, it could be seen that the water was full of mud.
These are the rainwater washed from the ground into the drainage system. In order to filter these things, he put on a respirator and an oxygen tank.
After entering through the pipeline in Saitama County, he had swam more than two kilometers. Before arriving here in person, he completely underestimated the difficulty of advancement.
It seems that you only need to swim two kilometers to enter the pipeline system in Shinjuku City, but swimming in this narrow pipeline is definitely not as pleasant as swimming under the Miami sun. Except for the area illuminated by overhead spotlights, the rest of the place is It's all pitch black.
From time to time, tidal currents hit him, and he had to hold on to the fixtures at the bottom of the pipe to prevent him from being washed away.
The most troublesome thing is to identify the direction.
Countless pipes above Tokyo feed into a drainage system that, if connected, could circumnavigate Japan.
Yuan Zhisheng often sees three or four forks leading in different directions at a certain fork. Fortunately, there are stainless steel nameplates on different forks.
The Japanese are very precise in this kind of detail.
"Call Yaksha, call Yaksha, how is the situation over there?" Yuan Zhisheng poked his head out of the water.
"If you talk about the speed of advancement, it's not bad, but if you talk about my personal feelings, my body is now covered with fragments of toilet paper, plastic bags and packaging boxes, and I'm going crazy."
"Call the headquarters, can you lock my location?" Yuan Zhisheng asked again.
The voice of Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family, sounded on the communication channel: "Everyone, your signal looks very clear to me. You are still about two kilometers away from the center of Shinjuku City."
"Have you found the specific location of the well of corpses?" This is what Yuan Zhisheng is most concerned about.
Based on the location of the alchemy matrix, the Snake Qihachi family speculated that the well of corpses was located in Shinjuku, but the specific location is still a mystery.
Although Shinjuku is not big, it still covers an area of 20 square kilometers, and the Iron Dome Temple built with underground waterways extends in all directions. Finding the specific location of the well from here is basically as difficult as a blind man trying to find an elephant.
"Not yet, the old Shadow Emperor and the head of the Inuyama family are looking for the exact location." Sakurai Nanami said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly heard a strange sound.
Sound coming from the pipes next door.
Something was swimming in the pipe at high speed.
And it's obviously something quite huge.
As they swim, their bodies hit the pipe walls.
Those things rushed along the pipe in the same direction at a speed much higher than theirs.
Fortunately, they did not appear in the pipeline where the source was born.
But the ferocious momentum of those things' advancement can be felt even in this pipeline.
hunting?
Not like, judging from the sound alone, more like a school of fish.
But why are there schools of fish here?
Go to the fork in front and have a look - Yuan Zhisheng made such a decision.
He followed the pipe wall to the fork in front. An escalator was built on the pipe wall for maintenance. He climbed up the escalator to the iron platform at the top of the pipe. Yuan Zhisheng quietly poked his head out to look at the pipe next to it.
The two pipes meet here, and the pipe in front suddenly becomes thicker. It is these pipes that fill the central area of Shinjuku with water.
And in that current, tens of thousands of fish are rushing to swim to the pipe in front.
Their backs emerged from the water, and an unsettling cold light flashed on their scales.
Too many fish swim in the limited space of the tube, so their scales rub against each other, leaving no gaps in the water.
Yuan Zhisheng had seen a similar scene.
When the weather is warm every year in Hokkaido's fishing grounds, millions of fin fish rush to the spawning grounds. Both male and female fish are extremely eager because they compete for the opportunity to reproduce.
But there are all kinds of fish in this fish group. They are all sea fish, but the species are completely different. There are even large fish like tuna mixed in. It is these big fish that beat the wall of the pipe with their bodies and make huge noises while swimming. Sound.
This completely goes against the laws of biology.
Tuna and sea bream and mackerel obviously shouldn't be heading to the same spawning grounds, and these marine fish shouldn't be in Tokyo's underground waterways at all.
Their habitat is in the deep sea far away from here, and they can only get here by swimming in through the spillway, just like groups of salmon migrating upstream of the river.
Fish migration usually returns to the place where they were born, and the memory of their hometown is deeply engraved in their brains with limited capacity.
An idea flashed in Yuan Zhisheng's mind, and he thought of some possibility.
Are they going to the Well of Corpses?
Yuan Zhisheng was staring at the fish in a trance when the cell phone on his body suddenly dinged.
Who messages themselves at a time like this?
No, there is actually a signal in this damn place?
Yuan Zhisheng took out his phone and looked at it. Not only did he have messages, but there were two more.
The first one was from Gu Bei. It opened to a picture. Gen Zhisheng looked at it carefully and recognized that it was a structural diagram of Shinjuku's underground water system. It also drew the composition of the alchemy matrix and the specific location of the well of corpses.
Gu Bei: "I got it from your little brother."
For the first time, Yuan Zhisheng felt that Gu Bei was somewhat reliable.
Backhand, he sent the picture to Sakurai Nanami: "Call the headquarters, call the headquarters, notify the commanders of all teams, ambush and hunt according to the locations marked on the map, don't let any hunting go."
"Understood." Sakurai Nanami sent the picture to the leaders of each team and passed on Minamoto's instructions.
On Yuan Zhisheng's side, he also opened the message for the next day.
The message is transnational and the content is also a picture.
When I opened it, I saw a photo of three people.
The person standing in front held up the camera, followed by Liu Miaomiao who looked dull and had a calm face. The three of them all held a bunch of candied haws in their hands, the red hawthorns covered with crystal clear sugar coating.
The text that follows: "Young Master, please pay attention to safety."
"Eriyi, Sakura..."
There was a touch of tenderness in Yuan Zhisheng's eyes.
That's right, the Lu Mingfei and Gu Bei in the camera are the same Eri Yi and Yabuki Sakura who returned home in place of the real Lu Mingfei and Gu Bei.
Although Herzog had to be forced to take action, there was no need to use Eriyi as bait. If something happened, neither Gu Bei nor Yuan Zhisheng would probably feel good.
So there must be someone who can replace Eri as bait.
In fact, it is okay to let Gu Bei do this task, but the problem is that Gu Bei does not have dragon blood in his body. If the royal blood is needed to fuse with the holy bones in the end, then Gu Bei will most likely be exposed.
So Gu Bei set his sights on Lu Mingfei.
To be fair, the idea of using Lu Mingfei as Hui Liyi's substitute was just Gu Bei's whim, but after it was actually implemented, Gu Bei found that this idea was perfect.
First of all, although Lu Mingfei does not have imperial blood, his bloodline is much better than that of imperial blood cows. Even if it is possible to directly use Lu Mingfei's blood to awaken the holy bones, it is not impossible to use him as bait. You need to be much safer on your own.
Secondly, Lu Mingfei reacted to the sound of clappers. Gu Bei would have to act if he were to take the role, but Lu Mingfei would be totally fine as long as he plays his true self.
Thirdly, Gu Bei doesn't have to worry about Lu Mingfei's safety. After all, this guy carries a bodyguard with him. Lu Mingze can be called Lu Mingfei's personal expert. If Lu Mingfei encounters any danger, he will definitely not Sit back and do nothing.
It just so happened that Yuan Zhisheng was really worried about Eryi going to the Celestial Empire alone, and both Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei stayed. If only Eryi left, they would be missing a substitute.
So Minamoto simply sent the injured Yabuki Sakura to Eriki's side.
Therefore, Uesugi, Kubei, Eriki, and Yabuki, Lu Mingfei, and Sakura returned to China with Chen Wenwen's tour group, and then were led by Liu Miaomiao to take care of Chairman Hua.
Mr. Hua hoped that Lu Mingfei would come back later, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain Su Xiaoqiang's injury during the mission, so she simply dealt with the identity issue of the two of them, and appointed Nandudong to be responsible for the escort work.
After that, the two girls took on the identities of Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei and began their temporary life in heaven.
The Chinese side should have reported on the situation in Japan by now, right?
Did Sakura guess something and send me this message?
A smile appeared on Yuan Zhisheng's lips, and he entered a line of words in the dialog box: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
He stared at the line of text for a long time, and finally closed the dialog box instead of sending it.
Wait until everything is over before talking to her.
The tenderness faded away, Yuan's childish eyes became firm again, and he slowly moved forward.
His target was the location of the corpse well marked on the map sent by Gu Bei.
"Emergency! The sonar detected a giant creature approaching Tokyo, a giant creature of the blue whale level!" Yasha's voice sounded in the earphones, "What kind of damn dragon is it? Damn, what happened tonight is not enough. how!"
"It's not a dragon." Yuan Zhisheng remembered the creature he had seen on the monitor when the Dieste was diving. "It's the whale carrying dragon genes, the Basilosaurus." , it was also summoned back.”
"There is no way that thing can pass through the flood outlet," Nanami Sakurai interrupted the channel and said, "That thing will only hit the breakwater of Tokyo Bay, and it will either collapse the breakwater or be stranded on the beach. That thing is definitely not allowed to be shown to reporters. ,"
"You should handle such a small matter yourself and find a way to get it out of the way," Yuan Zhisheng said, "I'm very busy."
"Master, what's going on over there?"
"Probably... something far more terrifying than Basilosaurus has woken up!"
Yuan Zhisheng stared straight ahead, gold flowing in his eyes.
——
Herzog raised his head and looked at twelve bright red blood springs pouring into the deep well. Thousands of subspecies were offering their blood to their mother.
The water in the deep well flows at high speed to form a vortex, and a large number of bubbles rise from the bottom of the water. An incredible roar fills the space, as if something huge is stretching its body.
"Perfect, perfect."
Herzog admired softly.
"Whether it's Cassel College or that guy, they probably thought we were going to drain the well, but they need to know that the things at the bottom of the well are not dead at all. They can climb out of the well at any time. To wake them up, just Some more pure blood..."
He took out a blood bag from his arms, slashed it with a dagger, and let the black blood pour into the scarlet water.
The blood comes into contact with the water surface mixed with fish blood, and blood-red steam evaporates, spreading to the bottom of the well and slowly rising.
As more blood dripped into the water, the movement of the thing under the water became louder and louder. The work team that had gathered around the pool all backed away in fear, leaning against the wall of the well.
White foam appeared on the scarlet water, and the thick smell of blood filled the deep well. The water temperature was close to boiling, and countless bubbles rose from the bottom of the water.
Along with the bubbles rising to the surface, there are millions of snails.
These tiny snails swim toward each other in near-boiling water.
They obviously realize that they will not live long, but their biological instinct is not to escape but to reproduce, hoping that their eggs can escape the boiling water so that they can leave more offspring.
But the snails will not think that this is not the sea. This deep well has no outlet. Both themselves and their descendants can only be cooked into a rich protein soup in boiling water.
Every inch of water was covered with wriggling lung snails, and the stench of boiled protein mixed with the smell of blood was nauseating. This pool of boiling water was like a soup pot filled with flies.
"It's so exciting, the smell of blood..." Herzog exclaimed, "This is the smell of the birth of life!"
The sea water is boiling, and a large amount of magma is pouring into this deep well from the depths of the earth's crust. Just below this well, tens of thousands of tons of magma are rushing.
If it weren't for the large amount of blood mixed in the water, standing at the edge of the well could easily see the dazzling light under the water.
The well of corpses is a deep well that leads to the ground. The magma in the earth's mantle is the so-called underworld in mythology.
Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susano'o have all woken up from their dreams of tens of thousands of years. They are climbing up and toward the ground along the long well of corpses.
Imagine what a spectacular scene it is!
Nearly perfect ancient life crawls in the lava, just like Satan returning to earth from hell!
This is a disaster appointed by God to mankind, to cleanse this dirty world with flames!
"Sonar has detected a large object at the bottom of the water! It is rising at high speed! It will reach the surface in two minutes!"
The man on the operating table shouted.
"Welcome back to the world! Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo," Herzog said, "Everyone, please step aside. It is my duty as a descendant to welcome the ancestors."
Perhaps this Russian was too obsessed with acting. He actually thought he was a native of the Snake Qihachi family and walked slowly towards the mouth of the well.
The engineering team retreated into the pipe on the shaft wall and closed the five-inch-thick stainless steel door at the pipe mouth.
"The countdown begins! One minute left to reach the water!" The voice of the person in charge of the engineering team echoed in the headphones.
"Start the interception program!" Herzog ordered.
The person in charge of the engineering team photographed the red button on the remote control, and the signal was transmitted to the bottom of the deep well through a cable. A violent explosion stirred up the water surface, and thousands of tons of blood rushed into the sky.
Herzog didn't even look at it. Now he seemed to have become the KGB agent again. The military uniform on his body was straight and without a trace of wrinkles.
He climbed up the stairs step by step, letting the blood stain his sleeves.
Is it Herzog or Bondarev?
He couldn't tell the difference himself.
Some people died, but not completely...
