We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

He then chuckled coldly a few times. When another elevator next to him went up to the 28th floor, he did the same thing again, swiping the card hard once more before walking in.

"Haha."

Asuya chuckled.

Swah——

The elevator slowly descended.

Toyokawa Kiyotaka glanced at his phone. The business was completed much faster than he had expected, and he could go home, tidy up, and then go see his daughter's performance.

This was his daughter's first time performing on stage with a band, and Toyokawa Kiyotaka had already promised his daughter that he would definitely go see it, so naturally he couldn't break his promise.

However, what he didn't notice was that the music in the elevator had stopped when he arrived, and now the elevator was completely silent.

"They were probably placed randomly."

Many people think this way.

Twenty-five floors, twentieth floors, fifteenth floors;

Tenth floor, ninth floor, eighth floor...

Three floors...

Kiyoshi Toyokawa was waiting for the elevator doors to open.

suddenly,

Boom!

The elevator began to shake violently, and with a loud bang, the entire cabin began to plummet rapidly.

Scarlet words appeared on the screen:

【On the way to "ならく"】

ならく, derived from 'Naruka' in Buddhist scriptures, means hell.

The "Continued Meaning and Pronunciation of All Sutras" contains the names of all the great hells, including the eight cold hells, the eight hot hells, and the Avici Hell.

It is 11:12 AM.

There are 7 hours and 48 minutes until the start of the Live House RiNG show.

There is about an hour before Crychic takes the stage.

Swish!

Boom!

When the elevator car suddenly plummeted, Toyokawa Kiyoshi's first thought was that the elevator had malfunctioned.

After all, Genji Heavy Industries was the headquarters of the Snake Clan, and it was heavily guarded. He believed that even the Demon Clan would not dare to launch a forced attack inside.

He instantly activated the Word of Power 'Moment' and pressed all the floor buttons within a second.

Then, put your hands behind your head, press your back against the elevator wall, and use the elevator wall to support your body to minimize the impact of the fall.

"what happened?"

Toyokawa Kiyoko was deeply shocked.

He knew that the Genji Heavy Industries building was built by Maruyama Manufacturing, and that the materials and design inside were top-notch. Moreover, there were people coming to inspect it regularly every day. How could there be such a situation as elevator malfunction?

day……

He put his hands behind his head and looked up to see where the elevator had descended to.

This sight caused Toyokawa Kiyoko's pupils to shrink sharply.

【On the way to "ならく"】

On the screen, the words were written in scarlet, captivating the viewer.

"This is where?"

Toyokawa Kiyoshi harbored doubts.

As an outer member of the Snake Clan, he had no idea that there was such a place at the bottom of the Genji Heavy Industries.

Moreover, looking at the name 'Naruka'... it's not a good name either.

Who would design a floor of their own building to be called 'Hell'? Yet it actually appeared out of nowhere in Genji Heavy Industries.

Swish!

The elevator was still plummeting rapidly, the whooshing sound passing right by my ears.

Toyokawa Kiyoko relied on his A-grade mixed-race physique to tough it out while pondering a countermeasure.

Boom! Boom!

About ten seconds later, the elevator finally stopped.

This is the bottom of Genji Heavy Industries, an even lower level than the Iron Dome.

Originally, the entire floor was pitch black and deathly silent.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, a little light finally appeared outside.

Kiyoshi Toyokawa stepped out.

In the instant the elevator stabilized, he intended to use his physical strength to force open the elevator door.

Although the Sheqi family must have reinforced the elevator, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't have done it without trying.

However, just as he was about to break down the door, the elevator doors opened by themselves.

He immediately rushed out of the elevator and began to observe the outside environment.

His first impression was that it was very dark and there was a deathly silence.

His time at Kassel College quickly calmed him down. Toyokawa Kiyotaka took out his phone, and using the dim light from it, began trying to make a call.

The person you are trying to reach is currently outside the service area or is unable to communicate. Please try again later.

"The cell phone signal is blocked."

He was secretly shocked.

There are only two possibilities for this situation: either signal jamming devices have been deliberately installed here, or the location is so deep underground that no signal can get through at all.

Moreover, the light from the phone was far too dim compared to the entire floor space; even with the phone's built-in flashlight, he couldn't see the whole scene inside.

But the next moment,

wow——

Inside the building, tiny specks of light began to twinkle on the 'walls,' resembling a sky full of stars.

Toyokawa Kiyoko then saw what was in front of him clearly.

That was a 'giant wall'.

That 'giant wall' was seven or eight meters high. In terms of floor height, it would take two floors (excluding the lobby on the first floor) to reach that height.

But upon closer inspection, he discovered that the 'wall' was merely the outer shell of a water tank.

It is made up of hundreds of pieces of glass, each about one square meter in size, and each piece is so clean that it is almost transparent. The glass pieces are connected by a narrow metal frame that holds the entire wall firmly in place, with each edge fitting together perfectly without any gaps.

Above this "water wall" is a giant water turbine with a diameter of several meters. It is black and gold in color and rotates quietly. A complete set of complex filtration devices unfolds the filter screen and is embedded tightly against the surface of the wall.

"What is this for? It's big enough to be used to raise sharks."

The thought arose in Toyokawa Kiyoshi's mind.

He looked at the building in front of him, which resembled an aquarium, and his gaze followed the lights that gradually came on.

The next moment, he could no longer control his emotions:

"Fuck!"

A group of 'fish' swam into his line of sight.

The heads of these 'fish' are clearly human faces.

Their bodies have completely abandoned the human form.

Its neck is covered in scales that gleam with a cold, metallic sheen as they sway in the water. Some of them even have bony fins that spread out like wings, while their tails resemble those of sea serpents.

"How could anyone keep them here?"

A storm raged in Toyokawa Kiyoko's heart.

The elevator malfunctioned and took him somewhere.

As the main family of the Japanese yakuza, the Sheqi Hachike usually just collects protection money and goes into other industries. Why would they support these kinds of people?

And it's inside Genji Heavy Industries!

Americans wouldn't plant atomic bombs in the Pentagon, but Genji Heavy Industries actually keeps such high-risk creatures.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of those human-faced fish, they have clearly been contaminated with some kind of drug, and were deliberately created using technology.

Kiyoko Toyokawa instinctively wanted to take a picture, but he managed to resist the urge.

Can't take pictures.

Our top priority now is to escape from here.

He was merely an outer member of the Snake Clan, and in terms of status, he was just a manager at the Toyokawa Group. This level of secret was beyond his ability to inquire about.

Seemingly feeling that Toyokawa Kiyoshi's words were not enough to attract their attention, the group of human-faced fish flicked their tails and began to fiddle with a dark golden skeleton.

These skeletons are clearly not human, but rather the remains of some kind of twisted and mutated creature.

It has ribs similar to those of a human, but they are more numerous and extend outward in an irregular arc.

The bone surface was covered with fine teeth marks, as if it had been viciously gnawed.

"This is...an embryo!"

Kiyoshi Toyokawa never expected that he would be subjected to such a series of shocks.

These pale golden bones, and their structure, aren't they the dragon embryo he unearthed from the key he stole from the Ghost Clan?

The last time I saw Inuyama He, besides the 'Origami' sword, Tachibana Masamune also gave me a letter.

The letter contained a report on the operation, which included several photos of the embryos.

After the erosion of time, even the greatest creatures can hardly preserve their physical bodies. Although they are embryos, once they have lost their flesh and blood, they are no different from skeletons.

Unexpectedly, the Snake-Headed Eight Families actually used it to cultivate this creature.

No, they weren't specially trained!

Kiyotaka Toyokawa recalled some of the courses he took at Kassel College, and how using dead embryos of this level to raise such a group of things was clearly a waste of resources.

He prefers to believe that the 'embryos' were actually used to cultivate other, more 'valuable' things, and that the human-faced fish toy was just a byproduct of that use.

What could be far more valuable than a human-faced fish?

Toyokawa Kiyoshi vaguely realized that there was something else behind this aquarium, and he guessed that there must be other things being kept there, but he couldn't go in, nor did he dare to.

"So, all the investment in the medical field ends up being used for research?"

"I can't believe I've spent so much time running around for this kind of business!"

"No, we have to leave here first."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi calmed down and his mind raced.

But as he looked around using the lights of the 'aquarium', he couldn't find a single staircase to climb.

And the elevator...

Toyokawa Kiyoshi was unsure if they could be reused, since they had just malfunctioned and couldn't be repaired quickly.

He walked forward, with a "nothing to lose" attitude, and pressed the elevator button.

Ding-dong-

Surprisingly, the door opened.
