Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 102 The Secret Beneath the Building (The Returning Dragon Clan)

In the afternoon, Erii played two more games with Natsume, then had two more rounds of practice with Maido, and finally chatted and gossiped with Ranbing, Hilda, and Erica. They then took a group photo under the sunset in Dragonbone Village.

As night falls, a movie is projected onto the screen, and people watch it intently.

It wasn't until the movie ended that Xia Dou realized the chair next to her was empty. She instinctively looked around and called out urgently, "Eri!?"

People then realized that Erii had disappeared without a trace.

"Waaaaah, boss, Erii is gone~" Xia Dou's eyes reddened, and she burst into tears.

Maido sniffled, forcing a smile, "She'll definitely come back to visit us!"

Mark and Zaibing exchanged a glance, both sighing with emotion. If Erii hadn't appeared, their ending would have been a tragedy.

Bai Yuekui pushed open the door and quietly looked around Erii's room. The empty bedroom was clean and tidy, and the bedding on the bed was neatly folded.

She picked up a note from the table: "I will always be a member of Dragonbone Village!"

"Have a pleasant trip," Bai Yuekui murmured to himself with a smile.

Please select the souvenir you desire from this world.

Erii thought about it carefully, but didn't seem to want anything in particular.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the handsome and cool Lin Yuanzhe appeared in his mind.

No, that's the village chief's ultimate weapon. What if the village gets attacked if I take it away?

[Host's desire detected — compromise in progress]

Erii was stunned. Was there really a compromise?

【Abyss Transformation Belt (After transformation, it can maintain the Abyss Armor form for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 24 hours; it reduces the requirements for the driver and will not excessively drain the driver's life essence, and can be used by non-hosts)

[Does the host choose this souvenir, or select another?]

"I'm sure!" Erii replied without hesitation.

What's wrong with 5 minutes?

This is an incredibly cool transformation belt!

As a huge fan of Kamen Rider, Erii absolutely adores this souvenir!

Compromise compensation:

[Activate the Portable Space Souvenir Display Shelf: Place your acquired souvenirs in this space for convenient and secure storage.]

[Gift to the host: Unlimited camera, unlimited power, unlimited memory, and can be placed on a display shelf;]

Photos and videos taken can now be automatically transferred to the Infinite Camera app.

Erii was overjoyed.

"Dear God of the Directions, please accept my bow. I will build a temple and statue for you when I return."

Buzz—

Sunlight fell on my hair, and the hustle and bustle of the city filled my ears.

Erii stood on the rooftop of Genji Heavy Industries, looking down at the familiar streets bustling with people and traffic.

"Cough cough cough~"

A sudden, violent coughing sound rang out not far away, and Genji, who was leaning on the railing smoking, stared at Erii in astonishment.

Erii turned her head and quietly looked at her brother.

"No, where did you come from?" Genji looked around, both angry and surprised. "You actually know how to come back? You think you're all grown up now?"

"Hehe~" Erii scratched her head and smiled sheepishly.

"Stop playing dumb, tell me honestly where you've been gallivanting off to this time!" Genji was at his wits' end, fearing that Erii had gone astray outside.

However, seeing that she had no dragon or tiger tattoos, no fancy nail art, and no makeup, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If anyone dares to corrupt Erii, not only Tokyo, but the entire neon world will be doomed!

Genji dialed Yabuki Sakura's number, "No need to look anymore."

He then called Tachibana Masamune, "Father, Erii is back."

After hanging up the phone, Genji patted Erii's head earnestly, "Can you please not leave without saying goodbye in the future? Even if you're leaving, at least let me know secretly. I won't tattle on you to the head of the family."

Fortunately, it was only for one day, and she was quite compliant in this respect, which was the only way Genji could console himself.

For the next few days, Erii stayed obediently in her room, looking rather tired and listless after returning from a trip, spending her days lying on the bed playing games and watching anime.

A week later.

Yuan Zhisheng knocked on her door and, with a slightly gloomy expression, led her into the high-rise private freight elevator.

"I'm fine, I won't get checked," Erii said firmly.

"Not this one," Genjiro said after a dozen seconds of silence, "We've made a discovery. Crow and the others are waiting downstairs."

The elevator kept going down, down, down, from the first basement level, the third basement level, the tenth basement level—all the way down to the eighteenth basement level.

"These past few days I've been reviewing a lot of archived documents and had Kaguya-hime look into the construction details of Genji Heavy Industries. We've actually discovered a facility that even I wasn't aware of—an elevator whose destination is unknown," Genji said with some difficulty.

Erii's delicate body trembled.

Yuan Zhisheng patted her head. "Don't worry, I didn't tell the head of the family."

"Does my brother believe me?" Erii asked timidly.

"Who told you to be my sister?" Yuan Zhisheng gave a wry smile.

Hey~

The elevator doors opened.

The two arrived at the Iron Dome Temple.

This is roughly equivalent to Tokyo's giant underground drainage system, providing water and other services to various underground facilities.

Beneath the Genji Heavy Industries lies many of the core secrets of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Examples include storage warehouses for family relics, archives, and ancient murals; Princess Kaguya's main control room; the Ganryu Research Institute, responsible for various technological research and development; and an underground shipyard that reaches the Pacific Ocean.

However, these facilities were already on the blueprints when the building was constructed. Although most of them are top secret locations and 99% of the members cannot enter, Genjiro, as a person second only to the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, naturally has unimpeded access.

The Iron Dome is like an underground labyrinth, with winding passages and countless secret rooms and hidden levels. You could easily get lost even with a map and GPS.

Even so, Genji still managed to find some clues, which shows that he had indeed taken Erii's advice to heart and had taken action accordingly.

"Sakura, lead the way," Genji said.

Sakura Yabuki, Crow, and Yasha were already waiting there. The former nodded and led the way without saying a word.

It took them about twenty minutes to walk before the five of them finally arrived at an extremely hidden elevator door.

"Boss, we're already deep enough, where the hell does this elevator lead?" Crow shuddered and cursed.

"Judging from the boss's expression, he doesn't know either," Yaksha shrugged. "Maybe it's hell~"

Sakura Yabuki gave the two of them a cold glance, and they immediately shut up.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent, pressed the button to open the elevator door, and led the group inside.

There was only one button inside the elevator, and it continued downwards.

After a while, the elevator suddenly stopped, and the doors opened with a piercing creak.

In the dimly lit tunnel, a rusty iron door appeared before them.

Yuan Zhisheng stopped his outstretched hand, as if what was placed in front of him was Pandora's box, which, once opened, would reveal something terrifying or the truth.
