The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 602 Eye of the Storm (13)

Inuyama Heita looked at the map on his phone screen and said, "Keep driving forward. According to Mr. Ashiya, the entrance to the spirit world will open below the ground level near the XX department store in five minutes."

"Is it so precise?" King Kong held the steering wheel with his hands, leaning forward to carefully identify the scenery in the heavy rain ahead, in case he hit anything. He asked, "And below the ground... Is there a subway station nearby? I remember the station is still some distance away from there?"

Inuyama Heita searched the map and said, "That's right. The station is not in that area... Then it must be the underground floor or underground passage of the department store. The area Mr. Ashiya mentioned is very small, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"Understood." King Kong continued to drive forward, and drove with difficulty to the location where Inuyama Heita said, and then slowly stopped at the edge of the underground passage.

"The wind is so strong..." King Kong said, "Be careful when you go out later, Heitaro."

"Yeah!" Inuyama Heita nodded.

They looked at the time, and when the time was about to come, they opened the car door, rushed out of the car, and rushed into the entrance of the underground passage in the storm.

"Ah..." After entering, King Kong wiped his face unhappily and complained, "It's only been a short while and I'm already soaked."

Inuyama Heita looked at the underground passage carefully and said solemnly: "It should be here, let's go."

This underground passage was no different from usual. It seemed that due to the influence of the typhoon, there was no other person here at all, not even a homeless person taking shelter from the rain. They might be worried that the accumulated water outside would flood inside when they were taking refuge. But at least at this time, it was still clean inside.

"There is no one here." said Vajra, taking out the vajra in his hand, ready for battle.

They walked forward along the passage. The originally ordinary passage was now filled with all kinds of strange noises because of the raging wind outside. Sometimes one could even hear the sound of the wind roaring or crying, whimpering outside and coming near and far, which was creepy.

As they gradually approached the other exit of the passage, the sounds became more and more obvious. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the typhoon, the lights in the underground passage began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

"I feel it." Musashi said in his backpack, "As long as we get out of the front, we should be in the spirit world. There is a very fierce aura."

"Really?" Kongo perked up and said, "That means we have found the right place. Are you ready, Heitaro?"

"Yes." Inuyama Heita took out a tie and put it around his neck. It looked a bit out of place with his current T-shirt.

"Let's go!" King Kong rushed forward first, followed closely by Inuyama Heita.

They rushed out of the passage and returned to the ground.

However, although the wind and rain continued, they could not feel anything. The wind was clearly howling around them, as if they were in... the eye of a typhoon.

"Where are the enemies?" King Kong looked around: "Where are the enemies?!"

But it was pitch black all around, and one could only vaguely discern the shapes of buildings and roads.

"Up there!" Inuyama Heita suddenly raised his head and said, "Up there!"

King Kong suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

They saw a huge vortex slowly spinning in the clouds, with a strong sense of oppression. In the vortex-shaped clouds, a flash of light would appear from time to time, reflecting the scene inside the clouds. Under the occasional flash of light, they saw what seemed to be a building in the vortex, which disappeared in a flash. "That is..." King Kong widened his eyes: "What is it? A floating city?"

"You must be kidding, right?" Inuyama Heita muttered, "There's actually a nest here?!"

"What did you say?" King Kong was a little surprised: "A nest? Isn't that something that only the monsters of the Hundred Ghosts have?"

Musashi climbed out of Kongo's backpack and said, "I can feel the presence of that evil spirit there. He seems to be fighting with someone."

"It's Brother Otoko!" Inuyama Heita took out the talisman that Ashiya Yoshisuke gave them and said, "We have to release Mr. Ashiya's mark first... How do we use this? Mr. Ashiya didn't seem to tell us?"

He was just wondering how to activate the Ashiya family's talisman, but unexpectedly the talisman moved on its own. It automatically folded into an exquisite paper bird, and then flapped its wings, as if to confirm whether its body could fly.

"It turned into a bird!" King Kong's eyes widened: "It's amazing."

Musashi said disdainfully: "Country bumpkin..."

"Is this all right?" Inuyama Heita released the paper bird in his hand, letting it spread its wings and fly high.

But within a few seconds, the paper bird had just taken off when it was blown away by the violent wind. The violent force twisted its body and it quickly disappeared in the storm without a trace.

Inuyama Heita frowned and said, "The aura here is too violent! We must find an anchor point."

"Anchor point...you mean." King Kong looked up at the vortex.

"That's right." Inuyama Heita said, "In a typhoon, everything is chaotic and disordered, so the entrance keeps changing, but the building in the vortex remains motionless. It is a stable anchor point. This should be the reason why Brother Yi can fight in the storm as a spirit. The building protects him!"

Kongo rubbed the back of his head and said, "You really know a lot, Heitaro... Then how can we get up there? Is there any way? I can't fly, can you, Heitaro?"

“No.” Inuyama Heita adjusted his tie, and a cheap suit that was a bit loose instantly appeared on him. He said, “So… throw me up, King Kong.”

"Eh? Throw? Are you serious?" Kongo opened his mouth slightly, but when he saw the look in Inuyama Heita's eyes, he smiled: "I understand, this is what you asked for...ha!"

King Kong roared, and his T-shirt was instantly torn by golden light, revealing his strong muscles and the King Kong tattoo on his back.

"Don't die, Heitaro." Kongo stretched out his hand and said, "Come on!"

"I'm counting on you, King Kong!" Inuyama Heita nodded and placed his hand in King Kong's palm.

"It's coming!!!" King Kong stretched out his hands and grabbed Inuyama Heita's arms tightly, and spun Inuyama Heita like a slingshot. After spinning for more than ten times, with a loud shout, he threw Inuyama Heita towards the whirlpool directly above!
Inuyama Heita gritted his teeth and shot into the sky like a cannonball, soaring straight into the clouds!
Musashi looked up at the sky with his hands on his shoulders and sighed, "Huh~ You really are not afraid of death. There is a very scary enemy over there."

King Kong folded his arms, raised his head, and said seriously: "I believe in Heitaro. He is not a short-lived guy. He will definitely come back safely!"
