I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"The strong resentment on this road should have leaked from this door and accumulated for many years in the passage when we came..."

Seeing the traces of strong resentment, constantly overflowing from the damaged talisman paper in the crack of the door, Yu Makoto's expression became more cautious.

"The wall that was used as a sealing stone should have also turned into a sorrowful grief under the accumulating impact of this leaked grievance."

Fortunately, these grievances passed by Mr. Araki and were immediately sucked in, unable to accumulate any more.

"Investigation Corps...Zizi...Check the direction of the arrow on the picture scroll."

Just as the two looked closely in front of the gate, Mai Hanyu's cautious voice came from the communication.

"Yes, it means pointing inside the door."

Sosuke Araki walked back and forth and checked the direction of the arrow on the scroll on his waist.

"Hey, where is such a small probability thing in this world..."

Mai Hanyu's tone didn't seem to be as mad as before, but instead brought a touch of playfulness.

"Could it be that... those Mochizuki Secret Treasures... nominally borrowed by the imperial family, they have already fallen into the hands of the Tokugawa family... are hidden in the forbidden land without seeing the sun?"

According to Mochizuki Yasuji, the imperial family once borrowed the "Bamboo Drawing Scroll" in order to find the lost Mochizuki treasure.

But now, the clues given by the "Taketori Scroll" point to the tomb under the seal of the Tokugawa family that has been opposed to the imperial family for many years.

Was the Mochizuki Secret Treasure that the royal family wanted to find back then, or these divinely hidden places of the Tokugawa family?

And Mochizuki Yasushi is entangled in all of this whether he knows or does not know?

The misplacement of information and the inextricable connections behind it make people feel as if they are in a layer of mist, and it is difficult to see the truth.

"The two members of the Investigative Corps...have to admit that the complexity involved in the current situation has exceeded my estimation as a genius scientist..."

After sighing, Mai Hanyu asked seriously.

"However, if I ask you to retreat right now...you should, and won't you agree?"

Hearing this question, Sosuke Araki couldn't help but glanced at Yu Mayumi, who was next to him.

In the darkness, the girl handed him a look that was as peaceful and trusting as ever.

"Of course……"

Looking down at the dark crack of the door, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

On the threshold there, a series of footprints were faintly visible.

"A person who can't abandon anything can't change anything..."

Those who are lost here must have also entered this door.

"After all, the girl from Mochizuki's family is still lying in the hospital bed waiting to be woken up!"

"Hey, the expected answer...Then, the two of the investigative corps, head towards the basement and explore the truth of the world!"

"Investigate the Corps, obey orders."

Araki Sosuke stretched out his hands and leaned heavily on the doors on both sides.

"Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Under the force of his arms, the dense talisman paper pasted between the two door panels suddenly shattered.

Below the "Xianshouyuan" plaque, this heavy wooden door that had been closed for many years suddenly opened in front of the two of them.

"Tsk tusk tusk."

Even though the psychological construction had been done before the door was opened, no matter how bloody and terrifying the scene was behind the door, you must remain calm, but seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Araki Sosuke still couldn't help but slapped his lips.

"Could it be that this is the real Immortal Palace..."

The bird Yu Mayumi on the side was already too surprised to speak.

What caught the eyes of the two of them was a vast and bright cylindrical space with an invisible end tens of meters upwards.

The source of the light is the faint green light moss covering the entire ground and inner walls.

"There shouldn't be such a vast space inside the mountain above the tunnel, right?"

The inside of this space is not a simple cave, but is full of three-dimensional buildings in the Edo style with the same exquisite brick and wood structure as the door on the outside.

The architecture of the Edo period can be roughly divided into three types: samurai, machiya, and longhouse based on the status of samurai, merchant, and worker.

In the complex of buildings in front of you, on both sides of the neat street, there are all kinds of samurai shikiya, machiya, and long houses.

The "giant gate" and the city walls on both sides that the two have just stepped on are at the very end of these buildings.

However, it is different from ordinary buildings built on the ground...

These exquisite houses are like mushrooms growing on the walls of the cave. As the terrain changes, they spread from the sloping ground all the way to the uneven, nearly vertical mountain wall, covering every part of the space. A plane.

"Ok... so beautiful..."

Reflected by the moss radiating green light all around, these buildings surround the side walls all the way, and extend all the way to the top of the end, allowing the two people at the bottom of the cave to look up and look like they are overlooking from the clouds. A simple and exquisite Edo castle.

"Here, it's like a landscape painting."

Looking at the "three-dimensional city" surrounded by and overhead under the green "starry sky", Mayumi Kotori sighed sincerely.

It was as if someone had rolled this city inward like a roll of paper into a bucket, and moved it here from elsewhere.

The design and layout of these buildings in front of them seem to be random and absurd, but in fact they are ingenious and contain countless ingenuity. They seem to coincide with a certain kind of Feng Shui, which is obviously written by everyone.

Had it not been for the green light of the moss to be too cold, and there was constant resentment among the buildings, flowing towards Sosuke Araki below, she might have thought that she had strayed into the Edo Architecture Pavilion with a post-modern upside-down design.

"This... these houses are built crookedly, and they still grow on the kind of ninety-degree cliff... How do you live?"

Sosuke Araki, who doesn't know how to appreciate, is even more worried about practicality.

Moreover, after looking at it for a long time, this kind of "upside-down house" three-dimensional architectural layout that is disordered up and down, left and right, people can't help but have a visual drop, like the space is disordered, the gravitational force is ineffective, and it is difficult to distinguish the position.

"Maybe... I didn't plan to live there at all..."

With a thoughtless word, Tori Mayumi's gaze fell somewhere in front of him.

In the center of this huge space, connecting the buildings around the cave wall, the only thing that can maintain a sense of direction is a large spiral staircase that surrounds the entire space.

...

"Report to Captain, there is an abnormality under this tomb!"

Above the tombstone of the Xianshouyuan where the tombstone collapsed, several team members with real guns and ammunition were surrounding the largest tombstone where Wangyueche had sat before.

At this moment, the majestic tombstone that was originally flat and smooth, made of granite, completely collapsed and shattered because of Mochizuki's missile-like punch.

Several team members were holding engineer shovel and digging hard under the tomb foundation.

As the soil was gradually excavated, a flat and heavy granite appeared in front of everyone.

Judging from the exposed patterns and appearance, it seems to be a stone gate.
