Is it too much?

I was only given two more looks.

cut off everyone's wrists and the side of the bald man's face, and although he avoided the vital point, the blood that spurted wildly clearly told them.

Just go a little deeper.

Life and death.

It could be two outcomes.

In this sense,

It seems that Higashinohara has indeed gone a little too far.

And yet so.

The people around them who had just seen nothing clearly, and who were not even aware of the pain before it reached the central nervous system...

At this moment, when they looked at the clown masked man who wielded the knife and blood, they didn't feel that the other party had gone too far with the other party, and there was only a thick fear hidden in their eyes!

Fast!

It's so fast!

In addition to this word,

There was not a single word to describe the feeling that the man in front of them had brought them, and it seemed to be very different from any speed-based person they had ever seen before.

on this man.

Between two points,

Not the shortest straight line.

He is the shortest in his own right.

There was a sudden silence in the dark and empty sewers, and there was a silent silence, and the people around them clutched their wrists and did not dare to move or retreat.

For a moment, they could only avoid the clown mask figure in the darkness with some fear, and stared at the bald man who was silent covering the wound on the side of his face.

Time seems to have passed a long time.

Finally, the bald man took a deep breath and rubbed a cigarette roll from his pocket that could not be called, and the attendant next to him was stunned and quickly bent down to help light it.

Take a deep breath.

The tobacco burns with a hiss.

After exhaling a puff of smoke, he calmed down, looked at the other party and said, "My name is Spark, I didn't mean to offend just now, but your identity is too sensitive, and it is destined to hide huge risks, you know, I'm just a mouse... It's just a little bigger, and I'm ...... a little busy."

"But it also comes with huge gains, doesn't it?" Higashinohara looked at the other party and spoke.

Since he opened the skylight and said bright words, he naturally didn't need Shura to be in front.

It's also straightforward.

Spark, who smoked a cigarette in two puffs, was silent for a moment, and it was hard to deny that Higashinohara said that the payment was not a "huge gain" for them.

In fact

You don't need to be extra fast by the people above.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "windfall from heaven".

After hesitating for a while, the bald man Sparky seemed to have finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and asked, "I want to know, what do you need to help?" ”

"Help me rush to the ground and fight my way out..."

"Uh..."

"Just kidding."

“......”

Higashinohara tried to ease the tense atmosphere just now, after all, he made the first move, and then he had to rely on the other party, but it didn't seem to be working very well at the moment.

"I need a guide."

Higashinohara gave up trying and made his own request.

"Huh? Wizard? ”

The bald Sparker was stunned for a second.

"Yes."

Higashinohara nodded and added, "Familiar with the guide that leads to the sewers of Baring County from here. ”

Shura on the side also said, "I can pay you a deposit of 30% first, and he will bring us there safely, and the remaining 70% will also be put into your card." ”

A guide is provided.

On the surface, it seems much less risky.

But the bald man's face was cloudy, and he seemed to be struggling a little, and he knew very well the risks they would have to take after providing the guide.

Regardless of whether the other party escapes or not.

One day, once known by the people above, then even if he continues to pay filial piety every year over the years, he, the "big mouse", will suddenly become a "dead mouse".

The people above will not trust you because they have cooperated with you for a long time.

He knew very well that in the eyes of those earthly celestials, he was just a tool to help accumulate wealth, and he could be replaced at any time.

In this underground world, there is never a shortage of people who want to climb up.

So can he refuse?

The wound on his cheek had not completely stopped bleeding, and there was still red blood oozing out of the wound, and he seemed to be vaguely feeling the stinging pain and cold coldness of the blade cutting flesh in his heart.

Obviously, if he refuses, I'm afraid he will become a dead rat now.

Silence won't solve the problem.

The bald man Sparky finally spoke, "I can find you a guide, but I want you to assure you that whether or not he can take you to the interchange of the underground waterways in Baling County, this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and whispered something to his men who were clutching their bleeding wrists.

The other party immediately nodded yes, and then carefully glanced at Higashinohara with his peripheral vision, and then slowly retreated and left here.

Higashinohara didn't care about the person who left, but his face showed a little thoughtful, and he was also a little curious about what kind of guide the other party would find for him to clear up the relationship.

Within a few minutes, there was a brisk sound of footsteps outside, and before I could enter the door, I heard the excited shouts of a boy who seemed to have just entered the voice change period.

"Mr. Spark,

I heard you had a job looking for me. ”

Sure enough.

In the next second, it was indeed a boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old, with short black hair, a somewhat pale complexion, and a nickname that was obviously one size larger on his body covered with oil, and trotted in excitedly.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he was a little stunned to see Spark, who had a cut on his face, and the people around him who were clutching their bleeding wrists.

Feeling the unusual atmosphere here, the little boy quickly lowered his head and clutched the corner of his clothes a little nervously.

The bald man smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "No, no, no... Will, listen to me, it's this kind gentleman who has a job to find you, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

The little boy named Will turned his head to look at the somewhat eerie Higashinohara wearing a clown mask, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he looked a little afraid in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, just when Higashinohara wanted to take the initiative to speak, the little boy didn't know where to muster up his courage, walked over and looked up at Higashinohara, and said with a little fear in his eyes, "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Higashinohara heard this, but did not answer.

He turned his head to look at Spark, a bald man who was smiling, and asked softly,

"That's the guide you found for me."

Sparker seemed to feel the coldness in Higashinohara's soft and slow words, and immediately restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously, "Please trust my professionalism, Will and his family migrated from the Baling County Sewers a few years ago, and none of us here know more about the pipes there than he does. ”

"Yes, I know that."

The little boy named Will seemed to value the job very much, and immediately held his head up to make himself look more confident.

Higashinohara glanced at the little boy, then turned his head to look at the bald man with a pleading face not far away, and did not ask the other party if the money was too easy.

I don't know how many people are searching for him on the ground above his head, and the most important thing for him now is time, so naturally he has no time to waste time with the other party.

However, when he was about to step out of here, Higashinohara still left a word without looking back.

"Listen to me, if I'm approached here, I'll only come to you, regardless of whether the news comes from here or not."

"I think you should be aware,

My speed... Soon. ”

This sentence can be regarded as a threat to Chiguoguo.

The bald man behind him suddenly changed his face slightly when he heard this, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just silently watched Doroshi in his arms. Alita's Higashinohara leaves.

After a long while,

A subordinate next to him who was holding a bleeding wrist walked to the door and looked at it carefully, and after making sure that Higashino Hara had gone away, he came back and said a little unconvinced, "Boss, can we really help him?" ”

Smack!

Without warning,

A crisp slap rang out.

Spark, the bald man who had just been respectful in front of Higashinohara, was full of violence at the moment, and he stared at the subordinate viciously and said:

"Shall we help him? Have we ever met that man? Remember... We didn't know anything, it was all just a private deal between Willa and the other party. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes looked around the crowd and said in a gloomy tone, "Remember! Whoever says it leaks, I'll take him and his family who live underground... Chopped together and rushed down the drain. ”

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

"Yes!"

The surrounding people were suddenly silent.

......

sewage crossflow,

Debris in the underground waterway space.

Maybe it's because of human life,

It's a much dirtier place than the road you came from, and the smell is even more pungent and unpleasant.

This time, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy Will walked in front, and Shura and Higashino Principle, who was holding Doroshi in his arms, followed silently.

Where they're going at the moment.

It's not a sewer to Baling.

It's the boy's home.

This is what Shura suggests.

Higashinohara knew the other party's intentions.

- If they couldn't find out for themselves, they wouldn't have been able to believe that this so-called little boy whose family had migrated from the sewers of Balling County could really take them to the junction on the basis of Baling Spark's words alone.

The back of the little boy walking in front also looked very nervous, and when he turned a corner, Will suddenly mustered up his courage, turned to Higashinohara and raised his head a little timidly and asked, "Sir, don't you trust me?" ”

"Child..."

Shura was about to speak,

was interrupted by Higashinohara's words.

He didn't answer the other party's topic, but asked rhetorically, "How much do they pay you?" ”

The little boy Will hesitated, but replied honestly, "A thousand heavenly dollars." ”

"Only a thousand?" Higashinohara was thoughtful.

Shura paid them five million, and as a result, they did almost nothing, and the one who actually worked took only a thousand.

These guys should really hang street lights!

Unexpectedly, when Will heard Higashinohara's words, a hint of excitement appeared on the baby-faced face with rounded cheeks and pointed chin.

"A thousand days is super much! I can help us pay off two months of rent arrears, and I can buy medicine for my mother, oh yes! The rest of the money may be enough to buy a new pair of shoes for my brother to go to the underground store, he has been laughed at by others lately for being barefoot, and the last time he went out to run around, he accidentally punctured the soles of his feet. ”

Will said a lot in one breath, but he didn't mention anything about himself.

Higashinohara was a little silent when he heard this, glanced at the other party's pale and somewhat abnormal face, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Haven't you been to it?" ”

"Above?"

Will, who looked eleven or twelve, was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "I was born in the sewers, and my father used to say that he would take me to play on the ground when he had money."

But he was swept into the water during a flood a few years ago and has not been seen since. ”

"Later, I didn't really want to go up there, everyone said that the people on it were terrible, haha, it's better to go underground."

Will said these words as usual, even when he talked about his father's death, his expression did not look very sad.

It seems that the people who live in the underground waterways are commonplace in the eyes of the people who live in the underground waterways.

Natural disasters.

If you can't hide, you can only accept it.

Higashinohara thought that the other party had been living underground for more than ten years since he was born, and his skin looked a little white and transparent, and he opened his mouth to say something.

For example, the underground living environment is so bad, it is better to work hard to move to the ground with a family in the future.

But on second thought,

This city is Shangjing, and the people living on the ground are those glamorous celestials, and if they really move to it, it may be the real hell for them...

Speechless all the way.

Soon, the little boy Will brought Higashinohara to his home, which was actually a free-standing round-arched sewer hole with a mud-stained gray curtain drawn on it.

The little boy didn't shy away too much, and excitedly opened the gray curtain.

Higashinohara glanced at it and found that the layout inside was somewhat similar to the sleeper cars of the bullet train in the previous life, with two floors separated from the top and bottom, but it looked more dark and narrow.

On the lower floor lay a pale, disheveled, sickly woman.

On the upper floor, there was a pile of grease-stained pots and pans, on which a little boy of four or five years old sat barefoot and played with them as toys.

"Will, where have you been again! Mom just called you. When the little boy at the top saw Will, he immediately puffed out his face and said to him.

The little boy named Will knocked the other party's head angrily, crossed his hands on his waist and said, "How many times have you said that you want to call my brother, brother is going to buy you shoes." ”

The little boy's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately put down the dirty bowl in his hand, looked at Will's hand excitedly, and his little face suddenly became visibly lost, and he grinned angrily, "You liar!" ”

"No lie, no lie."

Will said proudly, "One day, one day later, I promise to bring you a new pair of shoes, but you have to take good care of your mother at home, you know?" ”

"Really? Uh-huh, I must take good care of my mother? The little boy nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Next, the two little boys muttered a few words, and Will retracted his body.

He casually closed the gray curtain again and said, "Sir, you see, this is my home, and I will not deceive guests." ”

Higashinohara and Shura glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

At the very least, they were sure that the bald man just now hadn't just found a child to come to the lake to get them or had other ideas.

"How long will it take to get there?" Higashinohara asked the little boy with his head down.

"About five hours." Will did the math.

"Alright, let's go."

Higashinohara nodded.

Will immediately excitedly trotted ahead to lead the way, after all, it was only after completing the work of the guide that he would be able to get paid from the "big mouse".

But after taking a few steps, when he turned a corner again, Higashinohara suddenly paused, and his brows involuntarily glanced in a certain direction.

There was a sewer with a gray curtain, and when he looked over, the curtain fell silently, and a faint glimmer of fire seemed to be visible.

"What's wrong?" Shura on the side asked.

Higashinohara didn't answer, but called out to the little boy in front of him who was leading the way, stretched out his finger and pointed to the hole behind the corner and asked, "There... Do you know who is living? ”

Will was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and recalled, and then reacted, "Oh, you said there, that's Mr. Blacksmith who just moved here a while ago, the family sells kitchen utensils, and he is a very good person, and he gave me an iron basin last time, but Mr. Sparker and his weapons are also made from Mr. Blacksmith." ”

"Blacksmith?"

Higashinohara's heart moved slightly, remembering the side face he had just seen, and immediately said to the two people behind him, "Wait a minute, I'll find someone." ”

Shura opened his mouth, but thinking of the other party's strength, he still didn't say anything.

The little boy Will's face was a little curious, but he didn't ask anything more.

......

Higashinohara walked to the sewer hole with Doroshi in his arms and subconsciously wanted to knock on the door, only to find that there was a curtain in front of him, and his raised hand suddenly stopped in the air.

But at this moment,

The curtain was opened from within.

There were not too many surprises, and what jumped in front of me was a somewhat familiar face - the descendant of Kyoto's famous craftsman Kamado Teyatsu, Kamado Tanjuro.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and Tanjuro Kamado has a scruffy beard, and his face has become much paler.

Seeing the familiar clown mask in front of him, he said with a wry smile, "I just heard someone whispering that a strange person wearing a clown mask came here, and I guessed that it might be you, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

After a pause, he looked left and right to make sure that no one had noticed, and opened the curtain to invite Higashinohara in.

His sewer hole is much bigger than Will's house just now, and the "rent" must be very expensive.

However, it shouldn't be too much of a burden for Tanjuro Kamado, a fire-based person with a talent sequence 31 [Red Flame].

Higashinohara didn't ask the other party what he would be here, thinking that he was involved after the White Swan's war, so he could only temporarily avoid the limelight in this kind of place that didn't need an identity.

"You're here to get a sword."

Tanjuro opened a wooden box, removed the debris on it, opened the hidden compartment of the machine, and two murder weapons that exuded an awe-inspiring chill were revealed in front of him.

Ten characters of the great thousand birds.

Phoenix Twin Blades.

——It is the second of the twelve craftsmen of the two Kyoto Supreme Knives that Higashinohara commissioned the other party to repair not long ago.

Higashinohara put down Doroshi. Alita leaned against the wall, turned around and took a few photos at the back end, admiring the other party's craftsmanship.

It is worthy of being the descendants of the hand-smelted hands of the supreme fast knife and the twelve gonggong stoves thousands of years ago, and after awakening the ability of the fire system, the skill of keeping pace with the times does not seem to be under the ancestors.

But after a few glances, Higashinohara put back the two big knives under the other party's slightly surprised gaze, and immediately shook his head and said:

"I'm not here to get a sword,

I'm coming... Sending swords. ”

When the words fell, I saw Higashinohara suddenly stretch out his hand and wipe a half-circle arc in the void in front of him.

Rare Procedures. Hidden Sword Summons!

Suddenly

A supreme killer weapon with a simple shape but a cold glow was displayed in front of Tanjuro Kamado who was suddenly wide-eyed like a line.

"Heavenly Cloud Sword, Jizo Xinghei, Three Days Moon Sect Near, Onimaru Kunitsuna, Yamicha Pill ......"

He muttered to himself about these supreme fast knives that his ancestors had forged from the meteoric iron of the heavens and men, and had been scattered all over the world for thousands of years and collected by various forces.

After staying for a long time, he took a deep breath and looked up at Higashinohara with some solemnity, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Higashinohara glanced at each other,

He said softly, "I need a knife, a knife that can fight against the demon sword [Mura Yumaru].

Can you help me? ”

.....。
