Chapter 40: The Underworld
(Thanks to the tickets for "Snow Clear", "Walking in the Wind", and "Night Watch"!) )
After the four of them separated, Orochimaru dressed up in disguise and quietly blended into a small town. At this time, he disguised himself as a samurai, carrying a sword and patrolling the streets in a high-profile manner.
After wandering around for a while, Orochimaru noticed that he had a tail behind him, and secretly smiled and turned into an alley.
Seeing that the target he was staring at disappeared, "Tail" hurriedly rushed into the alley, but there was no trace of the samurai. It's a dead end, and "Tail" anxiously looks around for a secret door, only to hear a joking voice from behind him.
"Are you looking for me?" Orochimaru playfully looked at the "tail" that tracked him, and subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue, this action was extremely weird on a middle-aged samurai.
"Tail" was a blue-haired young man in his twenties, who stepped back a little frightened, but did not forget to threaten the other party in his mouth: "Ugly samurai! Do you know whose people you're messing with? Come with me! Otherwise, you have to look good! ”
Hearing the other party's threat, Orochimaru felt even happier, and whenever he saw his prey threatening him out of fear, he felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart, and this feeling fascinated him.
Leaning against a wall in the alley with his arms crossed, Orochimaru played with the young man for a while, and gradually lost interest. His face suddenly turned cold, and his cold snake eyes made the young man tremble.
"Alright, the joke time is over, let's talk in another place!" Without waiting for the other party's time to react, Orochimaru knocked the young man unconscious with a heavy punch and carried him to an abandoned farmhouse.
Tie him up, Orochimaru wakes him up with cold water, and immediately releases a hypnotic illusion.
The young man's gaze began to glaze, and the corners of his mouth drooled, apparently entering the stage of deep hypnosis.
After asking some questions, Orochimaru killed him in disappointment. This person is too low-level, and he is usually responsible for spying on strangers in the town, and he doesn't know anything else.
"After this person has been missing for a while, the town will definitely be alert. Such a high level of vigilance is so abnormal, it seems that the previous identity is going to be used. ”
Take out the sigil on your wrist, inject a little chakra, and "Bang!" There was a burst of white mist. When the fog cleared, Orochimaru had more clothes and disguise on his hands. After some effort, Orochimaru was wrapped in a black cloak, and he had a lot of "scars" and a beard on his face.
This outfit was prepared a few years ago when he came out on vacation to earn research funds, and he has been used several times in the past few years, and has some name in the underground world.
When night falls, the town falls into a dead silence. I heard that they were afraid of the forces that destroyed the Vortex Country, so they all went home early to pray that nothing would happen.
During the day, Orochimaru found a note, which was next to a sake brewery in the town, which meant that this was a reception place in the underworld.
Before coming to the sake brewery, it was already closed, and Orochimaru knocked a few rhythmically in front of the door, and soon there were a few rhythmic knocks back in the house. It's just a simple code, making sure that the person who comes is the customer and not the troublemaker.
Not long after, a small door opened next to the winery, and an uncle in his 40s came out of it. After he watched Orochimaru enter, he looked in one direction, and the next second there flickered the light twice, indicating that there was no tail behind this person.
The uncle turned around and closed the small door, and asked a business question: "What do you need from the guests?" Is it to inquire about news or to pick up tasks? ”
Orochimaru pulled out a token from his cloak, which was only available to premium members.
After seeing the token, the uncle immediately changed his face and said flatteringly: "Dear customer, please come with me, the adults of our division are waiting for you inside!" ”
The two of them entered a secret room in the house, and after following him around for a while, Orochimaru was taken to a luxurious exhibition hall where people came and went.
"Please come with me, there is an auction tonight, so there are a bit of people, if the guests need anything, we will arrange it for you immediately!"
"No need, I'll buy some news and leave!"
