Chapter 144 Indigenous Peoples

"We won't kill you, but don't move around too much, or things might get complicated next time."

To keep the little girl in line, Kazuyoshi warned her.

After saying that, he released the little girl.

However, the little girl was anything but well-behaved, baring her teeth at Yoshitoki and giving him dead fish eyes. Even so, she still looked quite cute; a weakling can only appear adorable no matter how angry he is.

But he really didn't dare to unleash his kagune attack or Shu Yoshitoki again.

After all, she wasn't stupid. The fact that she had been easily subdued by the other party meant that the other party was far stronger than her.

"..."

Ignoring the little girl's snarling, Washuu Yoshitoki asked, "Little one, how many surviving ghouls are left in this underworld?"

"Ghoul? What the hell are you talking about? I'm human."

The little girl's Japanese sounded strange, like Japanese with a heavy regional accent.

After all, the first One-Eyed King was many years ago. The original inhabitants of the underground world have always been isolated from the outside world, and the language differences between the underground and the surface world have gradually increased.

Washuu Yoshitoki could barely understand some of what he was saying: "The fact that you can use your kagune means you're no longer human, but it seems you don't know you're a ghoul..."

The survivors who sank underground with the first One-Eyed King were completely transformed into ghouls by the Dragon Poison Gas. Since they were all ghouls, their descendants could only be ghouls as well.

But these ghouls in the underworld still consider themselves human.

"What are you talking about? You're just spouting nonsense I can't understand."

The little girl's tone was not friendly.

He was clearly terrified of dying just a moment ago, but now he's showing no weakness whatsoever.

"Then let me rephrase it: how many people are left here?"

Washu Yoshitoki continued to ask.

The little girl seemed unwilling to answer the question, her eyes instantly filled with coldness and hostility. "Are you here to eat us too?"

"No, we didn't mean that. We just wanted you to show us the way."

Said when talking to Xiu Jishi.

"What directions should we take?"

The little girl's wary expression remained unchanged.

You should know about this 'dragon,' right?

Washuu Yoshitoki raised his hand and pointed to the body of the "dragon" in front of him.

"...Are you talking about 'Nagaraja'?"

The little girl paused for a moment, then said.

“Nagara Jie…”

The first One-Eyed King was apparently called "Nagara-jai" by the natives of the underworld, and Kazuki quickly realized this, so he didn't show any confusion.

He continued, “That’s right, we want to find the core of ‘Nagaraja’.”

"They're talking about incomprehensible stuff again. What the hell is the core of this?"

The little girl rolled her eyes at Xiuji Shi with dead fish eyes.

"It seems we can't rely on her to lead the way. Let's just get rid of her to avoid affecting our plans."

One of the "He Xiu" people behind them seemed to be getting impatient.

"Judging from what she said, there should be other natives in this underground world. Let's not rush to make a move."

At this moment, Washu Tsunekichi spoke up.

It was still He Xiu Changji who spoke most effectively; once he said this, none of the other "He Xiu" members had any objections.

"Could you take us to meet your companions? In exchange, I can provide you with some food."

Washu Yoshitoki made a condition to the little girl.

Just think about it, there are no humans in this underground world, and the ghouls living here have no food source.

Then they can only resort to cannibalism.

This is probably why the little girl suddenly became hostile again and asked if they were going to eat her and her companions.

In this underground world, the only food is one's own kind...

After at least a hundred years of "communal eating," there are probably not many original inhabitants left in the underground world.

"food......?!"

However, the little girl seemed to misunderstand, and her reaction suddenly became very intense.

After all, there's a bit of a language barrier, so they probably misunderstood and thought we were going to treat them as food.

The little girl immediately shouted, but it wasn't just a simple shout; it seemed to be a warning to her nearby companions to run away quickly.

"no!"

Washuu Yoshitoki suddenly realized that something seemed to have gone wrong, but it was too late.

............

Just as Washuu Tsunekichi and his group arrived in the underground world, Yoshimura Eto learned from the members of "Aogiri Tree" that a group of suspicious individuals had broken into the 24th ward.

She also notified Uchiha Byakuya immediately.

Since Uchiha Byakuya had returned to the CCG to handle some matters, namely contacting the media, Yoshimura Eto communicated with him by phone.

“They said a group of suspicious people forcibly broke into District 24. Some of them were wearing CCG combat uniforms and were quite strong. They kept going deeper into the area. I suspect they were those ‘Washington Rebels’ who escaped from the CCG.”

"Based on this description, it is indeed very likely. In any case, we need to confirm the situation. I'll go there now."

"Take me with you too."

Yoshimura Aite offered to go with them.

Uchiha Byakuya, of course, wouldn't refuse. "Then I'll come pick you up now."

However, the moment after hanging up the phone, Yoshimura Aite, who was sitting in the "Anding District Coffee Shop", heard the door open.

She turned her head and saw Uchiha Byakuya open the door and come in.

"Weren't you still at CCG? How come you got here so quickly? Or were you already outside the door?"

Yoshimura Aite exclaimed in surprise.

"No, I was indeed at CCG just now, but that's not the point. We should get going."

Uchiha Byakuya didn't have time to explain so much.

Yoshimura Eto immediately got up, preparing to go to the 24th district with Uchiha Byakuya.

Before leaving, Uchiha Byakuya said goodbye to Yoshimura and the others, "See you later."

After saying that, he put his hand on Yoshimura Eto's shoulder.

Yoshimura Aite asked with slight doubt, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm leaving now."

Uchiha Byakuya's Mangekyou Sharingan immediately appeared.

As soon as he heard Uchiha Byakuya's words, Yoshimura Eto felt a wave of dizziness.

For a fleeting moment, I felt dizzy and disoriented; though brief and transient, it was a real sensation.

She found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, but before she could figure out where she was, the dizzying sensation returned.

Subsequently, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto appeared in the 24th district.

Yoshimura Aite glanced around in surprise and realized that she was in the familiar 24th district. "We're already here?"

Chapter 145 Yoshimura Eto's Amazement

Whether it's "Antei Ward" or the 24th Ward, these are all places that Uchiha Byakuya has been to.

As long as he has been to a place, precise spatial transfer can be achieved.

However, he has never been to the underground world, so he cannot directly transfer to the underground world through the Divine Might Space.

"Yes, this is District 24. Those guys from the Washuu family have probably already reached the underworld. We need to hurry."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

After saying that, he took Yoshimura Eto's hand.

"Dual Divine Might" allows for short-distance instantaneous teleportation without needing to pass through the Divine Might space.

Because "Dual Divine Might" can open multiple spatial vortexes at the same time, such as opening a spatial vortex on oneself and opening another spatial vortex at the target location within sight, one can directly transfer to another "door" through this "door".
