Chapter 449 The hunt begins!(2/2)
In his eyes, those people were nothing more than a group of cockroaches in the sewers. A few more would die, and a few less would die.
What does it matter?
Cockroaches live in sewers.
I'm afraid it's not just because I like the environment here, but also a very important point is that probably every mature and developed city in the world has a mature sewer system.
This is not the first time Higashinohara has entered the sewer.
However, this time he left the World Bank Building through an unknown pipe, and immediately shuttled through the dazzling sewer system that crisscrossed the center of Kyoto like a spider web.
At this moment, I had no idea where I was.
Compared to the sewers in Wano New Tokyo, the sewers here in Kamikyo are countless times larger and have a longer history.
It was first built thousands of years ago when the gods established the city here. After thousands of years of continuous transformation, repair and expansion, the complexity of this crisscrossing sewer that extends in all directions is no less than a large maze.
I'm afraid even the staff responsible for daily maintenance need to have a circuit map to avoid getting lost.
At this time, listening to the gurgling sound of water in his ears and holding Dorothy Alita in his arms, Higashinohara took advantage of the dim light and glanced up at the man who was silently leading the way in front, limping while walking.
man.
After a moment of silence, Higashinohara finally couldn't hold back and asked, "You seem to be familiar with this place."
Apart from the sound of water excreting in the sewer, it was very quiet, and Higashinohara's modest voice seemed particularly clear.
When the man named Shura of the Jaeger Organization heard this, he paused for a moment and did not look back. He just said with some self-deprecation as he walked, "You have to understand, like us little people with no status at the bottom of Shangjing, there are always one or two skills.
Only with decent survival skills can you survive, right?"
"Indeed."
Higashinohara nodded in agreement, and then changed his tone, "But the 'familiarity' I just referred to is the secret passage that leaves the World Bank Building and enters the sewer."
That's right.
When more than ten minutes ago,
When Higashinohara carried Dorothy Alita and Shura downstairs, they were almost surrounded by people outside.
All streets within a radius of several hundred miles radiating out from the World Bank Building as the center were blocked, and all vehicles were prohibited.
The black-clad enforcement teams from the Beijing Security Bureau and the Adjudication Department solemnly blocked every important intersection around them. There were countless black helicopters like falcons hovering in the sky, and I was afraid not even a mosquito could fly out.
If it weren't for the man in front of him codenamed "Shura" who led him into such a secret passage and entered the sewer.
I'm afraid that at this moment, he has already been fighting in a group with the people who are constantly surrounding him outside. Even Dorothy Alita can't care about it. How can he be walking in this quiet sewer as peacefully as he is right now?
.
The man walking in front heard Higashinohara's words, but this time he suddenly stopped, turned around, glanced at Higashinohara, and then said with a wry smile:
"You can see it too, right?"
"Yes, I have actually been preparing for this day for many years, but I have never made the determination."
"I'm not afraid of death. With such a terrifying behemoth as the Nine Family, anyone who collides with it will not be surprised if he dies."
"I'm just afraid of such an indifferent death. After I go to hell, my family members will ask me why I died like this without doing anything."
Speaking of this, the expression on the man's face became a little serious. He stared at Higashinohara and said with great sincerity:
"So I'm very grateful to you. Thank you for helping me kill them. Then I can die in peace."
Speaking of which,
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Die in peace.
Just four words,
But it shows that at the same time as he said these words, what a heavy stone was lifted from the man in front of him.
"It's not time to die yet."
Higashinohara smiled, raised his head and said, "We will all live on, live gracefully and brilliantly. This is what your family wants, isn't it?"
"It's a beautiful thing to be alive, but the identities of the people you kill are too sensitive."
The man was slightly startled when he heard this, but then a wry smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and pointed at the sewer ceiling above his head.
"At this moment, there are people searching for you above our heads. With my ability, I can only take you out of the World Bank building temporarily, but I can't let you and your woman leave safely.
This city.”
"It won't be safe here for long, right?" Higashinohara had a thoughtful expression on his face after hearing this.
The man nodded silently, turned his head and looked at the endless dark passage with no light in front of him, sighed and said:
"Even at this moment, I estimate that someone from the Beijing Security Bureau and the Adjudication Department has already responded and is starting to search this huge underground maze in a place where we can't see."
This sentence instantly broke the sense of security brought by the brief silence. In the dim light, the man's eyes fell on the clown mask on Higashinohara's face.
For some reason, he didn't feel any nervousness from the other party.
"Oh? You mean there are several teams of people who have already started to investigate this place?" Higashinohara suddenly asked.
"Well, the first time we met, we would not encounter more than a group of people at most."
The man sighed, thinking he had guessed Higashinohara's thoughts, "Yes, you should be able to handle it with your strength, but those people are just the advance team. Once our exact location is determined, the next step will be an endless pursuit.
kill."
As he finished speaking, a slightly gratifying yet somewhat abrupt word suddenly rang out from the sewer.
"That's great."
Uh-huh?!
Shura, who sighed sadly, was suddenly stuck.
Chapter completed!
