"I will witness this beautiful marriage with my own eyes!"

Looking at the already somewhat confused Toufu Maki and the responsibilities-bound Kagura, Kamishi took a sip of the brewed tea, stroked his forehead helplessly and sighed.

Lord Kaku, aren't you causing more trouble by assigning this kind of task to Kagura?

but

Uesugi-kun's reaction today was indeed quite interesting.

Could it be that this is what it means when a fool has good fortune?

Chapter 216 Beautiful Scales

Time passed by bit by bit, and the sky became darker and darker.

By six o'clock in the evening, thanks to the bad weather, the sky had turned completely ink-black, looking depressing and airtight.

The rain did not stop, but became heavier.

Kiyoshi Uesugi has returned to the Collectors Association, the apartment where he lives.

Before coming up, he went out of his way to check on Ueno Mitsuishi's condition. The elderly swordsman who was infected by the power of the secret ritual was given an injection of sedative. Various high-end instruments of the association that Uesugi Kiyoshi could not understand were monitoring his mental fluctuations. Overall, he was still in a stable state.

But, he doesn't have much time left.

The door opened, and Nohara Anzi, who was curled up on the sofa reading a book, looked like a frightened deer. Her big eyes quickly swayed to the door. After seeing the familiar figure, she patted her chest in relief. Her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and she ran to the door with a smile. She skillfully took out Uesugi Kiyoshi's slippers and greeted him weakly, "Uesugi-kun, welcome back. You've worked hard at work."

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled awkwardly. Yes, I have worked very hard. After working so hard for a long time, I may have created a love rival for you, Xiao Xingzi.

He touched Xingzi's little head and looked at her happily running to serve him tea and water, and guilt kept surging up in his heart.

Just when he was about to say something, Rin Kamiizumi, who was lying dead on the sofa, suddenly jumped up, sitting up in shock as if he was dying, covering his mouth with his hands, his cheeks moving constantly, like a hamster storing food.

Uesugi Kiyoshi immediately became angry and diverted his attention.

"Ah Lin! Didn't I tell you not to eat snacks?"

Rin Kamiizumi swallowed the food in her mouth with great effort, and shook her head vaguely, with an innocent look on her face.

"This isn't a snack! This is afternoon tea that Apricot Jam made for me! It would be a waste if I don't eat it, and it won't taste good if it gets cold. I had no choice!"

"Besides, I went to practice swordplay today. Qing, don't be angry~"

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed in annoyance, but didn't say anything else - except for himself, no one could control Lin.

"Okay, I won't do this next time."

"Get ready and come with me later. I need your help with something."

After hearing this, Rin Kamiizumi suddenly became interested. She ran excitedly to Uesugi Kiyoshi, looked around him, and her eyes lit up with surprise.

"Such a strong murderous intent - Qing, are you going to fight?"

"Take me! Take me!"

"It's too boring to chop wood stakes in the training ground every day. It's more fun to chop living things! When I'm with Qing, I always meet very good opponents."

Uesugi Kiyoshi went to rummage through the boxes and took out two books. He glanced at Kamiizumi Rin and didn't care about her excitement. He just said softly to Nohara Anzi who ran to the kitchen: "Anzi, don't bother me. I have something to do these few days and I don't know when I will be home."

"I'm sorry, you should know about Ueno-senpai's situation. We have to find a way to save him. As for Usagi, I'll leave it to you to take care of her."

Hearing that Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to go out again, Nohara Anzi's face immediately fell, but when she heard the last sentence, she still cheered up and made a gesture of encouragement, and said very seriously: "Don't worry, Uesugi-kun, leave the house to me!"

For some reason, she had the aura of a veteran housewife - no, rather than housewife, it would be more appropriate to say "housekeeper".

After a moment of trance, Uesugi Kiyoshi dismissed his messy thoughts, took a deep breath, and waved to Kamiizumi Rin.

"Rin, go clean up."

"I have an appointment. If you want to fight, I will give you enough fights later."

Rin Kamiizumi hurriedly rushed into the room to change clothes, Kiyoshi Uesugi shook his head and sighed helplessly like an old father, while Anko Nohara stood aside obediently. It really felt like a family of three.

On the other side, by the Arakawa River.

This place is at the junction of Arakawa Ward and Adachi Ward. If you go further north, you will almost reach the border of Saitama Prefecture.

On an evening with heavy rain, there was no one by the river. The surging river water rushed forward with tremendous force. While it was spectacular, it was also a bit dangerous - if you were swept away by such waves, you would definitely die.

Suddenly, on the steps by the river, a wet hand stretched out from the river and slapped heavily on the stone steps.

This palm is covered with purple scales, and the fingers are narrower and longer than those of ordinary humans. There are tough membranes connecting the fingers, a bit like the webbed feet of amphibians.

A few seconds later, with the support of this arm, a wet figure suddenly emerged from the water and collapsed on the grass by the river, somewhat powerless.

She had a graceful figure and was obviously a woman, but her purple scales were intimidating and gave people goose bumps. She seemed exhausted, gasping for breath, and her snake-like vertical pupils flashed a cold light.

It was the Outer God believer who was almost killed by Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword. Her name was "Mei Lin" and she was a loyal believer of the Outer God "Hydra".

In fact, this kind of alien species has caused a lot of trouble in human history, but their evil deeds will be passed down as different legends in different countries.

"Hydra" is not an unknown person in Japanese history.

Meilin is a mystic and a fanatic. The mystical ability she is endowed with is "infection".

Her entire body is a tool for producing snake venom and its carrier. The purple little snake she released by the river was her life-threatening skill, so Ueno Sanishi's transformation was so fast after he was hit - otherwise, considering that Master Yamamoto could hold on for several days, Ueno Sanishi, as a transcendent, should have been able to resist for a while.

She was originally circling in the Sea of ​​Japan, trying to get in touch with another group of believers of the Foreign God to ask for help, but she was very keenly aware that there was a tail following her, so after circling in the sea for a few times, she completely got rid of the tail, and then she received a call from Yamamoto Yu, so she had to rush back.

Yamamoto Yu is her direct superior and the commander-in-chief of this "Guanyin Clan" operation. Whether the Lord's faith can spread all over this land depends on the success or failure of this operation. His orders naturally cannot be taken lightly.

Although some accidents happened along the way, it didn't matter - they put a lot of effort into bewitching Yamamoto Yu to fall into the power of the secret ritual, and the benefits they gained were huge. With his status and position, he could do much more useful things than preaching.

I had originally planned to proceed step by step, but since someone is trying to disrupt the situation, it doesn't matter if I use drastic measures. The goal is the same anyway.

After resting for a while, Mei Lin twisted her body and staggered into the drainpipe of the riverside sewer. She didn't mind the dirt and went straight in, ignoring the fast-flowing water.

Not long after she entered the drainpipe, footsteps were heard on the deserted shore.

"Hey, we're almost out of Arakawa's territory. Are you sure this is really the place?"

"Is Kaihuomaru not full and smelled the wrong smell?"

Two figures, one big and one small, walked slowly on the river. At the same time, a huge shadow passed across the Arakawa River. The river water rose sharply, as if a giant sea monster had passed through.

These are the siblings of the Minghai family who acted alone, and they are also the two masters of the Arakawa here.

"Impossible, Kaihuomaru has never made a mistake in distinguishing tastes!"

"Right around here, there's a smell of some creepy crawlies!"

"."

"what?"

Ming Hai Xin Na listened attentively for a while, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Hey, big idiot, Kaihumaru said that he smelled the scent of that woman!"

"That idiot who's been taking Kaitoramaru for a spin in the sea! She seems to have gotten rid of Uesugi's surveillance and is back in Tokyo!"

"She just passed by here! She just left not long ago!"

When Ming Hai Xin Wu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in his blood-red eyes. He pinched the handle of the Haiguo sword at his waist and chuckled twice.

"Isn't this easy to get?"

"The water and soil of Arakawa will surely protect us"

"Come on, little guy, follow me, I want to see"

"What on earth are these miscellaneous cultivators planning to do by stealing my divine name?"

He came to the drain outlet and paused.

The water stagnated, then turned upside down, and then split into two columns, like soldiers lined up to welcome a triumphant emperor.

Two figures, one big and one small, chased in leisurely without even getting a drop of water on them.

Chapter 217 Waves Meters Underground

Japan is an island country and Tokyo is a coastal city, so it is naturally unable to avoid typhoons and heavy rains. Whenever such times occur, the water levels of many large rivers around it, such as the Tone River, Edogawa River, and Arakawa River, rise sharply, submerging the surrounding residential areas and causing catastrophic consequences. There have been precedents in history.

Therefore, the government invested a lot of money and manpower, and even established a special sewerage bureau to operate, build and maintain the urban drainage system in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Tokyo's sewer system can be roughly divided into the "inner circle" and the "outer circle". The inner circle covers several prosperous areas such as Bunkyo, Shibuya, Chiyoda, Minato Ward, and Chuo Ward, while the outer circle surrounds the "suburbs" of Tokyo and even reaches Saitama Prefecture north of Tokyo.

The construction of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area drainage system took nearly fifteen years from its inception to completion, with a total investment of more than 240 billion yen. The average inner diameter of the drainage pipe is about ten meters, with many deep and large water storage pits, and even an artificial underground reservoir was built to prevent heavy rains from leaving no place for drainage.

There are two channels for rainwater in Tokyo. Rainwater near rivers and canals generally flows directly into rainwater storage and discharge pipes through drainage pipes of various buildings and roadside drainage outlets, and finally flows into the sea through large tributaries.

The drainage pipe that the Minghai siblings walked into was an emergency flood discharge channel somewhere. It was usually closed and only in heavy rain like this would someone open it for use.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of drainage, the Tokyo Sewerage Bureau stipulates that some toilet waste that is insoluble in water is not allowed to be discharged directly into the sewer, but must first be processed through the waste sorting system. Therefore, there is no shocking stench or unsightly stains in the pipe. There is only torrential rain coming towards them, and then neatly separated into two sides in front of the two people.

They walked for a long time, even going down a vertical shaft that was dozens of meters deep. As the surrounding environment became darker and the water became deeper, they were getting farther and farther away from the ground.

The two of them walked leisurely, as if they were carrying some treasure like water-repellent beads. Neither the rain nor the accumulated water could wet them at all. But when they came to a fork in the road, Ming Hai Xinna, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.

Ming Hai Xinwu also stopped, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, looking around with a disdainful look, frowning and whispering: "What's wrong?"

Ming Hai Xin Na was a little surprised and reached out to take off a cartoon goldfish-shaped hairpin that had been pinned to her hair at some point. She held it in both hands and murmured, "Something is wrong. Kaihumaru said that he smelled... a lot of reptiles."

"There are other smells. The smell of blood, the smell of sea breeze, the smell of burning."

"Wait, Kaihuomaru sensed the [divinity]!"

“We’ve come to the right place!”

"This is probably the place where believers worship the gods, that is, the altar!"

Ming Hai Xinwu nodded slightly without caring.

"Well, I've expected this a long time ago. But it's a good idea to put the nest in the sewer. But after being a rat in the sewer for too long, I'm afraid that these gods who are worshipped will also become rats crossing the street and be vulnerable."

"It makes sense that there are a lot of reptiles. Since we're here, there must be more than one mystic guarding it."

"Keep going. Don't worry. If the strength of the woman I saw that day is the same, I will kill as many as possible."

"Even if Lord Arakawa is no longer a god, he cannot be easily insulted by third-rate people!"

Narumi Nobuna's expression became even more confused.

"I'm not afraid, you don't have to tell me this!"
