Chapter 15: The Deep Diver
Shingo Narumi was visibly stunned for a moment.
Digging the foot of the wall on the spot, he never expected it, no matter how he thinks now, it's not the time to do such a thing.
Ueno Mishi next to him also looked confused.
The most outrageous thing is...
Shingo Narumi was really a little moved.
His current situation is not much better than the previous Uesugi Kiyoshi.
Living in a low-rent apartment, taking care of a sister who dragged oil bottles alone, he was born a human being, lost most of his former strength, and was no longer the lord of the Arakawa who was in charge of the huge waves, but became half of the hard-working social animals.
However, there are benefits to this.
His violent temperament has been rounded down a lot by life, and he didn't want the gangsters to test and lead the snake out of the hole.
One person and one knife, kill the door, and the one who stands in the way dies.
Steal the name of my god, do ridiculous things, and leave no one behind.
That's what the Lord of Arakawa should do.
If it was back then, he naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this, but since he suffered a big loss because of this temper, he has gradually been... A lot has changed.
You should not be afraid to do things, but you must consider the consequences, you can't live only for yourself, just for the sake of a moment.
"This..."
"I can't thank you enough for the kind invitation... But please give me a moment to think about it. ”
It was not a surprise answer from Uesugi Kiyoshi.
The invitation just now, although it was a whim, but Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly felt that this idea was quite good.
He also needs distance and time to see what kind of character this "Lord of Arakawa" who seems to be already a human being.
Can you be friends, or... Part company with.
For Narumi Shingo's sword slashing that monster fishman, Ueno Sanshi was not surprised, he knew that Narumi Shingo's swordsmanship was amazing, they often fought in their spare time, it was a year-old friendship, and just now Narumi Shingo did not show obvious extraordinary strength, just a delicate quick knife.
This was not enough to surprise Mitsushi Ueno.
As for the fish-man... It's also different from ordinary ghosts.
The most obvious difference is that Uesugi Kiyoshi did not absorb the slightest mirage from him.
So far, all the ghosts and gods that Uesugi Kiyoshi has encountered have more or less a mirage taste, and it seems to be the standard for the power of ghosts and gods, even Tosho Shenjun is no exception.
But this thing in front of me that I don't know where it came from... But it's a little different.
Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't chase after him, he gently kicked the fish-man's hideous and blue slime head on the ground, and gave Uesugi Mitsuishi a look.
Ueno Miishi made a conscious phone call, and it didn't take long for field staff from the Collectibles Association wearing white raincoats to rush in and contain all the corpses in silver-white metal containers.
"Those gangsters, are they connected by Narumi-kun?"
"This monster slipped out of a religious mission place called the Arakawa Sect, and I saw that his whereabouts were strange, so I followed him to take a look, but it didn't seem like I was needed."
"What, Narumi-kun and this Arakawa sect... Is there a grudge? ”
"I heard that it is a religious group dedicated to the Lord of Arakawa, and I have lived in Arakawa Ward for a short time, and the so-called Lord of Arakawa seems to be quite popular in Arakawa Ward."
"Even Ueno-senpai worships his shrine from time to time, praying for him to protect this side of the water and soil - what does Narumi-kun think about this?"
Shingo Narumi always felt that Uesugi Kiyoshi meant something, and he knew the identity of Ueno Migoshi.
The Collectibles Association, for the transcendent, is not an organization that only exists in legends, so Uesugi Kiyoshi, in his heart, is probably the "cadres" of the Collectibles Association.
Just a mistake, a lightning-fast sword, he also has a little understanding of Uesugi Kiyoshi's strength, this is not a showmanship.
For the strong, he always looks up to him.
"Yesterday there were a few missionaries who came to harass me and tried to bring my sister into the church, and in order to prevent them from interfering with our normal life, I had to ask some friends to teach them some lessons."
"I've seen a lot of people who cheat money under the guise of religion, it's their nature to bully the soft and be afraid of the hard, I thought that scaring and scaring them would make them more restrained, but I didn't expect... That's what happens. ”
Narumi Shingo casually pulled a reason that was somewhat credible, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded, and he didn't know if he believed it or not.
He changed his words and said meaningfully: "I understand, Ming Haijun is really bold... It's obviously this kind of monster-like thing, and he is not afraid to take out his sword, is it... Have you seen anything like this before? ”
Shingo Narumi shook his head without hesitation, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his smile was a little cold and murderous.
"No, it's the first time I've seen anything like this."
"But, Uesugi-kun, are you afraid of insects and ants on the ground?"
Seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi subconsciously shaking his head, Narumi Shingo immediately said, "So, I won't be afraid of a monster that will be easily knocked down by my sword, even if he looks some... Odd. ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi fell silent, and after half a sound, he suddenly looked up, as if he had made a decision.
"Hmm... I'm not going to go around the bend with you anymore, Narumi-kun, this Arakawa sect, I'm going to uproot them and see what kind of mud I can bring out. ”
"Do you have any suggestions?"
As if he didn't understand why Kiyoshi Uesugi asked himself this question, Shingo Narumi shrugged his shoulders very casually.
“... Please, look at you, you look like a big person, you shouldn't have to ask me for anything, right? ”
Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi is not "asking for instructions".
He wanted to see if that Arakawa sect had anything to do with the lord of Arakawa.
Now it seems that there is none.
He nodded knowingly, his mind moved, and suddenly said, "That... Do you want to go with you? ”
Narumi Shingo was a little stunned, and he said with some skepticism: "... Can I, as an outsider, participate in your actions? ”
Looking at the well-trained appearance of those white raincoats, Shingo Narumi could conclude that this "collectibles association" that he had heard of was definitely a large organization with a well-established system for dealing with extraordinary disasters, not the kind of temporary detachment of transcendents like a plate of loose sand.
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled lightly and agreed, "It's okay, my words still work... If Narumi-kun wants to come, just follow along, I'm going to arrest someone. ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Ueno Sanshi leaned over to Uesugi Kiyoshi with some anxiety, and said softly: "Uesugi-kun, the enemy's disaster level is not yet clear, although Narumi-kun is good at swordsmanship, but after all, he is just an ordinary person, let him participate... Could it be..."
Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at Mishino with a playful look.
"Ordinary people?"
“...”
"Ueno-senpai, this is not something that ordinary people can do."
Uesugi Kiyoshi pointed to the body parts that had been put into the container, and had no intention of changing his mind.
And Narumi Shingo thought for a few seconds, and he really followed.
For him, if the Arakawa Sect was just a religion that deceived the foolish people, he could ignore it.
But apparently not.
There's definitely a supernatural force involved, and, according to the man in the suit who turned into a fishman, they should really be sacrificing to some god.
"Your entrails are a gift to our Lord!"
These are his exact words.
So... The deity of the Lord of Arakawa, here, what is the origin of the fake they sacrificed?
This is a bit thought-provoking.
It just happened that there was a lot to borrow.,Narumi Shingo immediately decided to go and see the situation.,Just now it's considered to be Uesugi Kiyoshi's love.,If there's a chance.,It's not bad to go back.。
As soon as a few people walked out of the alley, they bumped into a young man with an umbrella who came in a hurry.
"Well, you're here."
"Qing, I heard you caught something terrible? Where is it? Let me see. ”
The only person who can talk to Uesugi Kiyoshi so well is Yuichi Kudo.
The high school detective didn't know where he got the news, he came in a hurry, his clothes were a little untidy, and he didn't wait for Uesugi Kiyoshi to answer, he stopped the white raincoat and opened the sealed metal container.
He looked at a fishhead.
Kudo Yuichi's expression changed slightly, raised his eyebrows to look at Uesugi Kiyoshi, and said in a condensed voice: "Sure enough, this thing, Qing... You've hit the jackpot. ”
"These are the minions of the outer gods..."
