The familiar, delicate handwriting above reads: "The younger generation in my family is mischievous, for which I am very sorry. However, it is truly inconvenient for me to appear today. I ask for your gracious understanding. Furthermore, I am aware of your purpose in coming, but the other party is powerful, and I simply cannot afford to offend them..."
Kotekawa Kami frowned, still unhappy.
Is this some kind of Tai Chi practice? I spent 30 million and all I got was this pointless statement?
But at that moment, a bamboo tube suddenly rolled out of the house and rolled all the way to his feet.
He looked up and saw the mute girl turning back.
Perhaps it was his rudeness earlier that made the geisha unwilling to see him anymore.
Kotegawa Kami picked it up again and pulled out a second slip of paper.
"But if you insist on knowing, I can only tell you that the missing people are being held in the second basement level of the Jade Palace. The one who did it is a monster called 'Sui,' which can hide people in the shadows and take them away. The exact address of the Jade Palace is..."
Kotegawa Kami stared blankly.
Not only the address, but even the route map was drawn, as if they were afraid he wouldn't know the way.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, and was basically satisfied.
In that case, spending 30 million wouldn't be a bad deal.
As for that black cat that can't really talk, just remember it for now.
I'll deal with it next time I have the chance.
He took the address, turned around, put away his sword, and went to find Yuqian House with his travel bag on his back.
The old woman, who had been standing frozen at the door, snapped out of her daze, grabbed the card reader, and ran back into the house in a panic. She ran all the way to the door of the innermost room, knelt down, and said, "Master, did you tell him that lord's address?"
After a moment of silence, a woman's voice, clear as a mountain spring, rang out: "There's nothing we can do. We can't afford to offend the person standing at the door just now either. There's an old saying: 'Discretion is the better part of valor...'"
"He's just a mere human brat. Even if he has some skill, he's no match for you, is he?" the old woman said indignantly.
"There are mountains beyond mountains, and buildings beyond buildings..." The woman sighed softly, "I am just a little fox who has only cultivated for three hundred years. What strength do I have? The human at the door just now was a terrifying figure who even killed the calamity of the Evil Spirit Society. He was not some greenhorn."
"What? Lord Calamity died at his hands?" The old woman exclaimed in disbelief, "Wasn't it Lord Ishikawa who killed him?"
The owner, who called himself the little fox, answered her with a soft laugh.
"That brat Ishikawa, he wouldn't have the guts..."
Chapter Five: I've Found You
Yuqianwu is easy to find; it's located in the most prominent spot on this street.
It's the size of an entire building, and it looks like a pretty high-class brothel; you'd be embarrassed to go in if the clothes weren't decent.
Kami looked up, not sniffing anything.
Because the whole street smells bad.
He followed the man in the suit into the store.
The lighting inside the store was deliberately dimmed, and girls wearing short skirts and low-cut tops could be seen everywhere—sailor uniforms, nurse uniforms, office ladies, and kimonos with very low necklines…
The sweet, soft laughter of women mingled with the aroma of wine.
It is like a paradise on earth.
Kotekawa Kami had never been to a place like this before, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at it a few more times.
A friend who likes black music once told him that the service girls in brothels don't just provide sexual services; most of them act as listeners, listening to the pressures of work and life, like close friends, giving a sense of mental well-being.
In terms of the types of services generated by involution alone, it is quite comprehensive.
By the way, that friend also said that from a legal perspective, a man visiting a brothel doesn't count as cheating.
e...
Kotekawa Kami looked around, starting by exploring the entire first floor.
He wasn't looking at thighs and breasts, but rather at whether there were any female monsters mixed in. If there were, he would just grab them and interrogate them, which would save a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, after looking around, I couldn't find a single one with a real tail on its butt.
Although some have long tails, they look like strange decorative props.
Having failed to find what he was looking for, he stopped looking and strode deeper into the area without lingering.
Because he is not only a kind-hearted person, but also a kind-hearted person who is upright in body and mind and develops in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.
Confucius once said: "Do not look at what is improper, do not speak what is improper, do not listen to what is improper..."
He walked against the flow of people and quickly entered a place where guests were not allowed to enter.
Behind a door guarded by bodyguards and marked "No Entry" is a carpeted corridor.
The lighting here is even dimmer than outside. The ceiling lights are all very thin, long tubes, making it barely possible to see the road.
Kotegawa Kamimi held his sword in his hand and looked through the dimly lit corridor, room by room.
Guest rooms, guest rooms, guest rooms... lounge, changing room, bathroom... nothing special.
He walked to the end of the corridor, but only saw a tightly closed elevator door.
There's a down button on the elevator door, but there's also an electronic combination lock next to it, so it seems you have to enter a password to get in.
It seems there really is something fishy going on; the missing Fujiwara Kaori might actually be here.
"They actually managed to get caught in a place like this... I hope nothing bad has happened yet."
He stepped aside, leaning against the wall, and while waiting for a destined person/demon to open the door and come out or go in, he put on the protective mask.
……
A loud "Bang!"
The door that had been closed to entry was kicked open.
A bald, burly man, barefoot, wearing a kimono, and sporting large, colorful tattoos on his neck and chest, strode into the depths of the corridor. The fat on his face jiggled with each step, exuding a fierce and arrogant aura.
Someone jogged after them, sweating profusely, bowing repeatedly: "Lord Sumire! Lord Sumire! Princess Oni is preparing an important banquet, so please, no matter what, calm down—"
He didn't finish his sentence.
The bald, burly man suddenly stopped and slapped the man against the wall.
The sound of skull cracking rang out, and when the burly man released his grip, the head of the person he was holding down was noticeably flattened.
The bald, burly man greedily licked the blood off his hands, thick, disgusting saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. He made strange noises in his throat and said in a sinister tone, "I've worked so hard these past few days, capturing so many humans for her, and now I can't even eat one? But since you want me to calm down, then offer me your flesh, blood, and entrails!"
He crouched down, dragged the corpse by one leg, and walked inside more quickly.
After reaching the corner of the corridor, he didn't even look at the elevator door, but instead raised his hand and slapped the wall a few times.
Two large, scarlet eyes suddenly appeared on the wall.
"Open the door for me!"
The wall was split in two, revealing a steep, downward-sloping staircase that seemed to have no bottom.
The bald, burly man's eyes gleamed with a blood-red light as he dragged the corpse down the steps. At the very end of the steps was a heavy, soundproof security door. He let out a strange roar through a hole in the wall.
Soon, the security door opened, and the person inside looked at him expressionlessly, then glanced at the corpse he was dragging, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion: "Lady Ghost Princess said this is the last time. If you dare to kill again, she will personally take action to reseal you."
"One day, I'll sleep with that filthy bitch!" The bald, burly man snorted disdainfully and swaggered in, dragging the corpse with him.
After he went inside, the security door behind him was slammed shut.
The bald, burly man was about to turn back to his den.
But then, a person suddenly appeared before him... a human who looked very strong and delicious.
The latter gave him a cold look.
Then, as if he were hallucinating, he saw a field of yellow sand and corpses buried in the sand and gravel.
And in the very end, what he saw was a very pure light.
……
Kotekawa Kami's figure reappeared underground, alone, with only the corpse in a suit and leather shoes on the ground. As for the bald man and the little monster responsible for opening the door, they remained forever in the realm of "Four Directions of Impermanence".
He glanced at the ground, but didn't care.
Although there were only a few words spoken just now, it's clear that the guy on the ground is a scumbag who associates with monsters and serves man-eating monsters.
So when he killed the monster just now, he had no intention of avenging him; he just wanted to kill it.
The lights here are very bright, as bright as day.
He familiarized himself with the route, found a direction, and then maintained "Nightmare" to conceal his figure. He stepped forward, drawing both swords and tying the empty travel bag, along with its sheaths, to his back.
The underground space of the Jade Palace is very large, filled with dark mist, and monsters with red eyes can be seen going in and out of the various rooms from time to time.
It was practically a monster's lair.
Kotekawa Kami saw everything. He was in a hurry to find the person, but it wouldn't be too late to explore the place properly after he found them.
The path on the second basement level is easy to find, probably because of the two outer layers of protection, there aren't many security measures inside.
He followed several humanoid red-eyed monsters down to the second floor, and then immediately saw many girls huddled in a corner, their hands and feet bound, their faces pale with fear and tears streaming down their cheeks.
"We've really found it!" Seeing this, he felt relieved and somewhat excited.
Several humanoid monsters seemed to be there to "select" people. They pointed at the group of people as if they were ingredients, intending to take them away.
The people here seem to have experienced such a scene before; the person being pointed at is instantly stunned.
This time, Kotegawa Kami naturally wouldn't stand idly by and handed over the longsword in his hand.
There were just too many people here, so he couldn't "collect" the bodies.
This change happened in an instant.
A group of women, desperate and on the verge of collapse, uncontrollably fell into a daze.
Kotekawa Kami's gaze swept back and forth between them as he spoke, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you... Which of you is Fujiwara Kaori?"
Everyone stared blankly at him and the longsword in his hand that was dripping blood onto the ground.
But no one answered.
