Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"You just asked Hydra, which means you've clashed with the Guanyin sect?"

As Uesugi Kiyoshi processed the flood of information rushing into his mind, he said with a wry smile, "For some reason, I have to kill Hydra, who is also the Gray Hall Guanyin you mentioned."

Then, he told Li Fuyao the whole story of how Ueno Mitsuishi was transformed into a mystic.

"I see, so this is something you're capable of doing~"

"Okay, okay."

"That snake wasn't as scary as you think."

"Outer Gods are gods from beyond the realm, invaders of this world. They are inherently subject to the suppression of the world's laws. When Hydra first entered the world, it provoked Jormungandr, the World Serpent, and was taught a lesson. It can only maintain its existence by relying on believers of different bloodlines like Guanyin. If we only consider combat power, that serpent is not to be feared."

"Moreover, He also has weaknesses. Techniques that are extremely destructive to the soul can cause Him great harm."

"What I'm worried about is that His dreams might be strange."

"The difficulty in dealing with Outer Gods lies mainly in their difference from the rules of this world, and this difference may also cause trouble in dreams."

"but."

"I believe in you, Qing, you will win."

Li Fuyao clenched her little fists, saying something like "Go for it!" but her eyes glanced at the image of Shuten-dōji drinking wine on the Hundred Demons Scroll.

Unbeknownst to Uesugi Kiyoshi, with that glance, a barely perceptible bitter smile appeared on the face of the lifelike Shuten-dōji drinking wine.

"I appreciate your kind words. Sigh."

"These trivial matters are endless. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to get back to work."

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao waved goodbye to Uesugi Kiyoshi in a very obedient manner, and then disappeared without a trace.

Without hesitation, Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his eyes and returned to the present world.

At the same time, his phone suddenly vibrated a few times.

I swiped my phone, opened the app, and on the map, a red dot had stopped moving.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up.

"She stopped."

"We can't wait any longer, let's go."

"No matter what, let's focus on getting her first!"

With him as the leader, everyone present moved at his command.

Before long, the roar of engines filled the air as convoys of vehicles surged out and converged on a coordinate on the edge of the Arakawa district.

Ten minutes later, standing on a sparsely populated street, Uesugi Kiyoshi held an umbrella, his brows furrowed as he surveyed his surroundings.

"Strange, this is definitely the place."

"Impossible. If she were here, she couldn't possibly escape the detection of the Yuanming Mirror, nor could she escape my senses."

"Does she think she can fly to the heavens or dive into the earth?"

"."

"Wait, if going to heaven won't work, what about going to the earth?"

He checked his phone again and stared at the manhole cover not far away.

Then, he opened his email on his phone and found the latest message.

The signature was "Shingo Narumi," and the message contained only one word—"sewer."

"So that's how it is, hidden in the sewers."

"They've already arrived. As the lord of Arakawa, they should be fine, right?"

"interesting."

He pressed a few buttons on his headset and said in a deep voice, "Hello, it's me, [Onikiri]."

"Use me as the center and bring up a 3D model of the Tokyo underground drainage system around me, the sooner the better."

A few seconds later, a somewhat familiar, indifferent male voice rang out.

"Uesugi-kun, the model images you requested have been sent to your Genmei Mirror. Please check them yourself."

"You suspect that those Outer God believers are hiding in the sewers?"

"That's possible. If that's the case, then they probably only have one place for their sacrifices."

"That underground reservoir."

"The environment there is exceptionally suitable for [spirit possession]."

“Perfect timing, it’s not far from where you are, or rather, it’s right under your feet.”

"I have marked the route to there. Please check it. Don't forget what you promised me. If you fail, please allow me to study Ueno's corpse."

"In return, I will fully cooperate with you on this mission—please believe me, an Outer God is also excellent research material. If possible, please be sure to bring me back some things that are of research value."

The speaker is Edward, the leader of the Ouroboros, the knowledgeable organization of the Collectors' Association.

It appears that he was fully responsible for the logistical support of this operation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi gave a noncommittal reply and lightly tapped the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses.

After a beep, a highly accurate 3D map model appeared before his eyes in the next instant.

The location of that underground reservoir completely overlaps with his current location, and it is also exactly the same as the location on his phone.

"This is it, there's no mistake."

He turned his head and met countless pairs of silent, obedient eyes behind him, and suddenly smiled.

"The location has been confirmed, but it's a bit dirty and messy, so please bear with it."

Uesugi Seiichi stomped his foot, indicating to the ground beneath him.

"Let's go and drag out all these snakes, insects, and rodents hiding underground!"

Chapter 220 Threesome

"I have already sent you the map of the underground sewers."

"Time is limited and the area is too large, so we have no choice but to split up."

"Tokyo's drainage system has five large water storage pits and the largest reservoir."

"I'll go to the underground reservoir."

"I'm leaving the other two places to you. Keep your headsets on and maintain communication. If you can't win, retreat is the priority."

"We're here to find a way to break through the Hydra Dream, not to fight those cultists to the death. Remember that!"

“I have contacted the association’s public relations department. They have communicated with the sewer authority and will coordinate the underground water supply system in the vicinity, focusing on us, to try to keep the three areas we have selected from being flooded by rainwater.”

"Field staff also did a good job of dispersing crowds and isolating people."

"Everything is ready, everyone, let's make a scene!"

"Don't hold back, I'll take full responsibility for the consequences!"

The voice of Uesugi Kiyoshi came through the headset, softly yet clearly.

The dark sewers, which are usually shrouded in darkness, welcomed a number of uninvited guests tonight.

Qinglian led the group in blue robes along one route, while Dongwen Zhenxi and the Shezhong team followed another, each going to explore the nearby water storage pits.

According to Professor Edward, Hydra, also known as the Gray Hall Guanyin, is closely associated with "water," and if she were to descend, there must be a place that can store a large amount of water.

In that sense, the sewer system is actually a very good option.

It was clearly premeditated.

By controlling the Yamamoto family and leveraging their influence in the police force, it would be easy to manipulate the less-than-popular sewer department as well.

Similarly, those cases of missing humans who were food for the Deepsea divers may have been suppressed with the help of Yamamoto.

The situation gradually became clearer, and as Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered the events, he felt as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through.

Unfortunately, it's not very useful now.

Regardless, he must find a way to locate the site of the ritual performed by the believers to worship Hydra today, make some contact with the Outer God's dream, and then use the "Dream Weaving Web" technology to tear open its dream barrier, break into it, and annihilate the god of unknown strength.

It sounds like enough to be the main plot of an epic movie, but he has to complete it in one night.

It was a bit difficult, but not enough to extinguish Uesugi Kiyoshi's fighting spirit.

Leather boots pounded through the sewage in the sewers, the hurried footsteps echoing in the dark passageway.

Uesugi Kiyoshi brought a surprisingly small number of people, only two.

Rin Kamiizumi, hopping and skipping with a nodachi on her back, and Ryujin, with a cold face, holding a sheathed katana.

With both swords drawn, the two association-issue katanas held upside down in their hands, Uesugi Kiyoshi led the way, while two others behind him subtly blocked the left and right sides, cutting off the rear. A very simple triangular formation appeared exceptionally solid because of these swords.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had also learned a bit about those Deep Ones; their strength was really not that great, so he wasn't worried about whether they were enough. What he was worried about was that they would miss their target, and that the other place was the main altar of Hydra, where those clerics and fanatics would use some strange secret technique to summon the god's true form to fight desperately, thus causing casualties among his friends.

He cannot accept this.

After walking for a short while through the winding passage and descending into a deep well, Uesugi Kiyoshi's ears twitched and he narrowed his fox-like eyes.

He carried flashlights and glow sticks from the Collectors' Association, both excellent choices for illumination, and the darkness underground didn't cause them any trouble.

Therefore, he easily identified the wriggling creatures not far away as the fish-man-like "Deep Divers" he had previously slain.

Using Li Fuyao's terminology, they are "Guanyin followers," fanatical believers of the Huitangluo Guanyin who came from the same place.

Smooth, sticky skin; irregular, rough scales; protruding, enormous eyes; fine, sharp teeth; and a mouth full of flesh and blood.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned subconsciously.

He casually tossed out a glow stick with maximum illumination, illuminating the hellish scene in front of him clearly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

He seemed to recall the scene at the Dongwen Association's headquarters that day, where he saw Dong Wenyu worshipping the Dongzhao God.

Human corpses were scattered everywhere like a jumble of garbage. Some were just piles of bones, others were a bloody mess. Uesugi Kiyoshi even saw that some hearts were still rising and falling slightly—but judging from their severed limbs and the unstoppable bleeding, they were clearly beyond saving.
