The next step is to hurry up.

In the dark and damp sewer, the little boy Will led the way, with Dorothy and Alita in his arms following behind. The dark hole kept swallowing their backs.

The afternoon passed in silence, and the only sounds left in my ears were the sound of footsteps and the gurgling water.

unconsciously,

Three hours have passed.

At a glance, there is still a dark passage with no end in sight.

Perhaps the only thing that has changed is the exhaustion on the face of the little boy Will, who is still gritting his teeth and holding on just for the one thousand yuan reward and the promise to his mother and brother.

In fact, it's not just him. Although Shura is a person with abilities, he was severely injured by Francis Bart during the battle at the World Bank Building during the day. Now he has been limping for three hours and can't help but show a trace of fatigue on his face.

color.

"You can take a rest first if you are tired." After a moment of silence, Higashinohara suddenly said.

"No, no, no! Sir, I'm not tired." Will seemed to really want to be worthy of the guide's salary.

After all, this was the first time he had received so much money. When he heard this, he scurried up like a frightened rabbit and waved his hands desperately to show that he was not tired.

Higashinohara smiled and said, "What a spirited young man. You are not tired, but I am."

Will was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Higashinohara had been holding this sleeping tall woman all the way, without even changing his position. It was like one person was carrying the weight of two people and moving forward.

He suddenly looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but found that he could do nothing.

If it were placed in that sewer gathering area, and faced with such a job of leading the way and generous customers, let alone a thousand yuan, even if it was a hundred yuan, he could not wait to find a small cart and use it as an ox and a horse to pull it.

But obviously there are no such conditions here.

Higashinohara didn't know what the little guy was thinking. He said this purely to give the two of them a step up. In fact, he was holding Dorothy. Alita didn't really feel that tired.

This is not Dorothy. Alita is slender and lightweight. With a height of 1.8 meters, it is impossible to be that light.

In fact, Higashinohara is now developing towards a "hexagonal warrior" with the blessing of attribute points.

With attributes of up to 90.3 [Physique] and 69.9 [Strength] here, if conditions permit, he can even carry Dorothy Alita around Kyoto city circle without losing breath.

Taking advantage of the rest, Higashinohara glanced at Shura, and then at Will, who was lying on the side and leaning against the wall, sticking out his tongue like a puppy, and said without too much hesitation,

"Can I ask you a favor?"

Will heard Higashinohara speak. Although the other party did not shy away from him, as a half-grown child, he still pointed to the pipe on the other side with eyes, "Sir, I will go over there to rest first and give you a break.

"

"He is a sensible child." Higashinohara said.

"It's hard for children who have lived underground since birth to be ignorant." Shura shrugged, turned his head and looked at Higashinohara, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Higashinohara lowered his gaze and fell on Dorothy Alita. He hesitated and said:

"I should go back again to pick up something and cross the Baling County Sewer at the junction. When she wakes up, can you please take her to the Baling County Pier?"

"You want to go back?"

Shura was a little surprised when he heard this.

In his view, this city has now become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

If he can leave here safely, he may not appear again in the Kamikyoto city area for several years.

"Yeah." Higashinohara nodded.

He didn't say much.

Shura also didn't ask any more questions.

Not even asking the other party how to escape.

He is that kind of person who puts everything on the line when he makes a decision.

Just like this time when he took over the mission issued by Higashinohara to attack the World Bank Building, he prepared an escape route for everyone in the Jaeger organization, but left no escape route for himself.

Had it not been for Higashinohara this time,

There was no way he could ever walk out of that building.

Therefore, no matter what the reasons are for Higashinohara, now that he has made a decision.

He will naturally respect the other party's decision.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Higashinohara pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Have you ever thought about what you will do after you get out? Continue to be a hunter?"

"if not?"

Shura lit a cigarette, and wisps of smoke rose slowly in the flickering light of the fire. He smiled bitterly and said, "The most important thing for a city like Kyoto is people with abilities, but this city can stand on the street and bathe.

In the end, only those with celestial abilities can live in the sun, and mice like us can only find something to do for ourselves."

"Have you not considered going to other countries?"

Higashinohara asked.

"Where is this not true?"

Shura licked his lips, took another deep breath and said, "Even if the powerful Tagos and St. Malo Empire become big shots, they are still just dogs in the eyes of the real heavenly nobles, unless..."

"Unless what?" Higashinohara asked.

"Unless one day, the parliament building that symbolizes the world government collapses and can no longer cover the eyes of the common people, and the Nine Families that symbolize the nobility of heaven, humanity and nobility completely disappear and can no longer cover the eyes of the common people.

otherwise,

It’s not the same everywhere.”

Shura took a deep breath, spit out the butt of the cigarette, and stood up holding on to the damp wall.

"Okay, it's almost time to get going."

He could already see that the man wearing a pale clown mask in front of him was not tired, but he was just concerned about them that he asked to take a rest halfway.

When Higashinohara heard the other party's words, his face showed a slightly thoughtful look.

When he saw the other party getting up to go on his way, he didn't say much. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll set off."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking,

Suddenly, from the sloping ground, the little boy who had just been resting and helping to look out for the wind came crawling over to him. He lowered his voice anxiously and said, "It's not good, sir! There is someone! There is someone's voice in that pipe."

Um?

Higashinohara frowned slightly when he heard this, and listened carefully.

Sure enough, in the cold wind in the sewer, there was a sound of conversation.

The next second, in the dark space, a beam of light pierced the darkness and shone without warning.
