Chapter 1006 The Triple Meaning of "Mimi"
Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi discussed it, and they decided to return to New York first.

The reason why she didn't go back to Japan directly was because Hongko Koizumi still had some important luggage in Binger Town, Oklahoma, at the Indians' Running Bull Hotel.

The two planned to go back to New York to fix it first, and at the same time let Benniu send the luggage to New York by express.

After getting their luggage, "Qin Zhibo" and Koizumi Hongzi took the plane back to Japan.

Of course, it was the fake "Qin Zhibo" played by Harumi Minase who returned to Japan with Hongzi Koizumi.

The real Qin Zhibo needs to carry some dangerous contraband, such as the pistol of the Kunyang people, the milk squeezed from the body of Night Dire, and the nail pieces of the Guge giant.

These are things that are difficult to explain to the customs, and they must be "smuggled" into Japan through the passage of the dreamland.

Now with [Sword of Oath Keeper], Qin Zhibo has the ability to cut through the evil ways of demons in the dream world. Naturally, he will not be afraid of those demons, and it is much easier to enter and exit the dream world.

After returning to Japan, it is necessary to keep the promise to save Sawada Hiroki.

……

This return is still the same process as last time. You need to choose a suitable cave to enter the Ash Space, and then return to the Waking World from the dungeon of the Gug Giant.

Although the exit is still at the top of the tower in the Gug Giant City, theoretically it should return to the same mountain behind the Suzuki family villa as last time.

But the entire Ashes Space can be regarded as a space transfer station. It doesn't matter where you go out from the Ashes Space. The important thing is to choose where you choose as the access point, and you will output there.

The burrows are different access points.

The countless burrows on the plain may lead to any place in the world, and even the ancient ghouls only know about a small part of the burrows.

For example, the cave that Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi drilled this time, the ghouls didn't know that the cave was leading to Yoss.

Led by an elder-level ghoul, Qin Zhibo and others came to the cave leading to New York.

The ghoul elder stopped in front of the burrow and spoke in a ghoul-specific language.

"Guling, Migu bah..."

Ryohei Matsumoto translated for the two, "Going out from here is the territory of heretical ghouls, so please be careful."

This reminded Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi of the two groups of ghouls fighting under the New York subway. This exit should be near the place where the two sides fought last time.

Qin Zhibo first nodded to the elder ghoul, and then asked Ryohei Matsumoto how to say "thank you" in ghoul language.

"Mimi." Matsumoto Ryohei replied.

"Mimi." Qin Zhibo learned and sold, and turned his head to thank the ghoul elder.

Hearing Qin Zhibo's thank you, the elder ghoul was taken aback, and said a series of "grunts and bangs", which made Qin Zhibo confused.

Is "you're welcome" so long in ghoul slang?
Ryohei Matsumoto hurriedly explained to Qin Zhibo, "'Mimi' also means 'I love you' in the language of ghouls, the elder thought you were confessing to him..."

Qin Zhibo: "Ah...ah?"

This old crooked!
He didn't even think about it. Could someone confess to him in this situation?
Koizumi Hongzi next to him picked up a big joke for no reason, covered his mouth and laughed.

Ryohei Matsumoto explained to the elder again in ghoul language, and only then did the misunderstanding be resolved, and the elder regained his dignified and serious expression.

Elder Ghoul: "Mimi."

Ryohei Matsumoto: "He's saying you're welcome."

Qin Zhibo: "..."

Is Mimi "thank you," "you're welcome," or "I love you"?
I unilaterally declare that Ghoul language is the most difficult language in the world!

……

This time, Ryohei Matsumoto took the two ghouls, together with Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, a total of five people went to the dungeon of the Guge giant.

Since the Guge giant had just experienced a defeat, the Guge giant in the dungeon had no fighting spirit, and regardless of the two humans who broke into the city, they got up and fled when they saw the ghoul, without even daring to look at it.

A group of people traveled unimpeded all the way to the top of the tower, the top trap door leading to the waking world.

Two ghouls smashed open the top of the trapdoor with a stake-like tombstone, Qin Zhibo climbed up first, and then dragged Koizumi Hongzi up.

After a certain height, Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei said goodbye to each other, and agreed to go from here next time they returned to Japan, so that Matsumoto Ryohei would pay attention to the situation in the space of ashes in the near future.

The only pity is that the creatures who have been in the dreamland for a long time seem to have a different sense of time from the outside world, so the two parties cannot agree on a specific time.

For example, Ryohei Matsumoto feels that he has been living in a dreamland for at least a month.

But Qin Zhibo knew that in the outside world, Matsumoto Ryohei had disappeared for less than a week.

……

The scenes in the field of vision flowed rapidly, and finally stopped in a dark and narrow space.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi crawled one after the other, surrounded by a round iron wall, and the skin of their hands felt the damp and cold from the iron wall.

"Where is this place?" Koizumi Hongzi, who was crawling behind, asked.

"It should be in a water pipe..."

Qin Zhibo recalled the survey results after the ghouls had fought, those foreign ghouls seemed to come out of the water pipes.

Good news: it's an abandoned water pipe.

Bad news: it may take a long time to climb out.

But what can I do then?

Climb~
So the two turned into Mario the plumber, crawling and climbing in the narrow water pipe...

On the way, the two kept encountering some inexplicable bones, emitting a stench like a trap in the depression of the water pipe.

After crawling on their stomachs for half an hour, the two finally got out of the water pipe and came to the familiar shaft.

Qin Zhibo looked up at the iron bridge above his head. There were various abandoned pipes in the middle. If it was him, he would have no problem climbing up.

But if you bring Koizumi Hongzi, it will be troublesome.

Just as Qin Zhibo was at a loss, beams of light from several flashlights swept across the horizontal pipe at the bottom of the shaft, and directly shone on Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

"NYPD!"

"Hold your head in your hands! Don't move—!"

……

Soon, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were turned over to the New York Police Department as suspicious persons.

The person in charge of the interrogation was an old face, Police Officer Radish. Qin Zhibo had seen him in the memory of Mao Lilan eloping to New York with Kudo Shinichi last year.

Officer Radish first asked about their identities and what they were doing there.

"Mr. Police Officer, I am a detective and I am investigating the recent subway murder case with my assistant."

On the way here by car, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi already guessed that these police officers were investigating the previous death of a subway driver.

So Qin Zhibo colluded with Koizumi Hongzi in the police car using the telepathic communication skills he learned from Kunyang people, insisting that he came in to investigate the case.

In this way, it can be explained that the embarrassment of the two of them was caused by investigating the case.

"detective?"

A skeptical look flashed in Radish's eyes.

He put on his white gloves, took out the Kunyang pistol from Qin Zhibo's backpack, and asked, "Then let me ask, what is this thing?"

Qin Zhibo looked at the gun-shaped thing, and replied without changing his expression, "First of all, let's rule out that it's a gun."

Radish frowned, and glanced at the "gun" in his hand again.

Although this thing is in the form of a gun, there are no bullets in the magazine, and there is not even a place to load the bullets.

I guess it's an electric toy gun...

Radicho took another Python revolver from the table, and an unsealed box of ammunition in his knapsack.

"What about this? Sir, how do you explain this?"

Qin Zhibo replied: "First of all, let's make sure it's a gun."

"Gun?" Radish pushed the gun to the side of the table, "What are you carrying a gun while investigating the case, and your gun has already been fired."

"Tell me, where did you fire? What did you shoot at?"

Apparently, Police Officer Radixiu was already suspicious of Qin Zhibo, an unknown person.

Recently, there have been frequent disappearances of people on the New York subway lines operating late at night, especially in the past few days, even the subway drivers have disappeared.

The New York police suspect that there is a criminal organization in New York's underground system. The purpose of the organization is unknown and it may be related to human organ trafficking.

For this reason, the police stepped up their investigative efforts and began to conduct 24-hour patrols of the underground system in order to find clues of the criminal organization.

And at this critical moment, a weird man carrying a large-caliber pistol and a girl were caught by the police?

How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Decades of errand instinct told Radish that he had caught the right man.

When Qin Zhibo saw this, he didn't bother to explain, and the situation inside was really unclear.

You can't say that you have traveled from the underground world of Oklahoma two thousand kilometers away, can you?
Was the bullet used to shoot Kunyang people and Guge giants?

So, Qin Zhibo showed a mysterious expression, and said in a low voice: "Actually, my real identity is a special investigator of the CIA, and I was assigned to carry out a secret mission."

"Due to the principle of confidentiality, I cannot disclose my specific itinerary and mission content."

"But you can contact my higher-level contact, his name is Patrick, and his phone number is..."

After saying this, Officer Radish was still dubious.

But with an attitude of trusting it, he left the interrogation room first, and before leaving, he asked two policemen at the door to guard him.

……

Fifteen minutes later, Officer Radish returned with a slightly dejected expression.

"Mike, uncuff him."

"I will return everything to you, you can go..."

Although Radish didn't say anything, his attitude said everything.

When Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi came out of the New York Police Station with all their luggage, they immediately received a call from Patrick.

Patrick mostly called to ask what was going on.

Just now Radish called suddenly, and Patrick was taken aback. He thought that Qin Zhibo had just joined Green Delta, and he disappeared.

But it turned out that he was arrested by the New York police as a suspect in the case.

Patrick didn't think too much, and immediately contacted the members of Cell A, and used the insider's relationship to directly fish out Qin Zhibo.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were released so quickly.

But according to the principle, they Green Delta must also know what Qin Zhibo did and why he was caught by the police in the underground of New York.

Regarding Patrick's questioning, Qin Zhibo told Patrick that he saw a ghoul killing people under the subway a few days ago.

They have been secretly investigating this matter underground in New York these days.

Hearing this, Patrick said that Delta Green had known about this kind of thing for a long time.

"That kind of dog-headed creature is called a ghoul. Not all of them eat the living, but some heretical ghouls attack and eat the living."

"We've been looking for ways to eradicate these ghoul threats, but the time is not right now..."

"If you want to know the specifics of those creatures, you can go to Nancy from N-cell, she is very familiar with ghouls."

Qin Zhibo felt disdainful in his heart, no matter how familiar the other party is with ghouls, can he be as familiar with himself?

"Mimi" in ghoul language has three meanings: thank you, you're welcome, and I love you at the same time. Who knows this kind of thing?

But Patrick's next sentence made Qin Zhibo change his mind.

"...The child you brought is now boarding at Nancy's home."

When Patrick said this, Qin Zhibo wanted to go over and have a look.

Just waiting for Hongko Koizumi's luggage to be mailed here will take some time, so I can take the time to see how Hondo Eisuke's new life is going.

……

Back at the Hilton Hotel, Hongzi Koizumi booked another presidential suite without hesitation.

The first thing the two did when they entered the room was to take a shower.

Calculate the time from entering Kunyang to returning to New York, it is about three days.

These three days are not spent in a cozy house, but in a barren land, fighting against the disgust from ancient times.

Therefore, the two took a long time in this bath.

Of course, it is washed separately.

An hour later, Qin Zhibo came out of the bathroom of his room first, and first called Benniu in Binge Town.

On the phone, Qin Zhibo told Benniu that he was in New York and asked him to send all the luggage in the room to the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, New York.

And the rental car, I also helped to return it to the car rental company in Oklahoma City.

"What! Are you in New York now?"

"When did you come out? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ben Niu thought that Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi came out of there and went to New York without saying goodbye.

Or he never thought that the two of them could come out of that terrifying underground...

"It's a long story... but I found the amulet your father left behind below, and I can send it to you."

Qin Zhibo played with the Kunyang metal coin in his hand, which was the amulet in the mouth of Running Bull.

This thing can indicate Enkai's location underground, but he doesn't need it now.

"Really?" Running Bull's voice was silent for a long time before he asked with a sob: "Then my father..."

"……Feel sorry."

Qin Zhibo remembered that Hasaji had said about the fate of the old Indian. He was the first person to be executed that year.
