I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"If that place is in Tokyo, it's fine...if it's not..."

Unfolding the "Traffic Map of the Kanto Area" and standing it on his chest very naturally, Mai Hanyu squinted and looked at the contents in distress, as if he was stumped by the too primitive instruction method of this picture scroll.

"Let's not mention whether this thing refers to a place or something, and how long the display of this symbol can last... If it is in the North and South Poles, Europe and other places far away from the Japanese islands, I am afraid that it will take a year to find it."

Hou Hai Lu Dou, who was typing on the keyboard with his back to the crowd, completed what she hadn't finished saying.

Because of the tasks assigned by a wayward president, he can only continue to work overtime in the conference room here.

"No wonder, the Mochizuki clan and the royal family have spent so much time, but they still can't get this thing done..."

"Hey, don't look at the map in such a way of disturbing other people's attention and showing off your bust maliciously! 』

Finally, amidst the sound of "beep beep", he struggled to move his eyes away from the broad chest of Hanyu Mai who easily stood up the map, Araki Sousuke picked up the thick picture scroll, and carefully looked at the arrow formed by the gathering of white light Symbol, sighed helplessly.

Although he was not good at analyzing these things, he also understood the meaning of the two people's words.

"Bastard, just a broken picture scroll..."

Then, he slammed the picture scroll on the table viciously: "Tell me, where is the secret treasure, or I will break you!"

After finally collecting enough soul dust, the clues I got were so slim, it was indeed a bit discouraging.

"Patter."

Under his heavy blow, the knots on the outside of the picture scroll unraveled desolately, rolled along the long conference table, and slowly spread out in front of everyone.

"Really, even though it is said to be an indestructible grievance, Araki-kun, you can't just throw it away, hitting flowers and plants..."

Atsukai Ludo put down his laptop and handed Araki Sosuke a bottle of DR.PEPPER.

"Huh? Here, don't you remember that there was this painting before?"

After taking a sip of the drink in his hand, Hou Hai Lu Dou's gaze suddenly fell to the end of the unfolded scroll.

After this picture scroll was brought back by Mai Hanyu, he made a comprehensive record, and at the same time made various material appraisals on the handwriting and pigments of the paintings. It can be said that he has engraved every picture in his heart.

At this moment, at the end of the scroll, there is an extra painting that has never been seen before.

In the picture outlined by black and white lines is a four-lane tunnel with double bridge holes that can be seen everywhere in Japan.

The ink strokes and realistic painting style are quite different from the painting style in front of this scroll.

It is not so much a painting as a sketch, or even a photograph.

"whee……"

At the same time, Hanyu Mai's eyes glowed, and with a thought-provoking chuckle, he moved closer to the picture scroll.

This kind of modern tunnel, which appeared in picture scrolls thousands of years ago, is no longer an unusual thing.

If it had been there before, they couldn't have failed to notice it, so it could only be a recent change.

"Sure enough, I read it right..."

She pulled out the measuring tape she had taken from somewhere, and pulled it along the picture scroll from the other side of the conference table...

"This picture scroll has become longer... It's exactly the length of one painting longer than before!"

"So, this newly 'grown' painting is also one of the clues given?"

Looking curiously at the dark tunnel in the crude picture, Sousuke Araki didn't think it would be of much help.

"It's easy to say with a picture, but this kind of tunnel is everywhere in Japan..."

"Kach...Kach..."

Mai Hanyu at the side has already taken out the SLR with the "Eye of Reality" installed, and started shooting frantically.

"Although tunnels are everywhere, as long as we compare the appearance and proportion of the tunnels with big data through pictures captured by crawlers on the Internet, as long as they are not in very remote places, I believe there will be results soon."

At the same time, Yumasumi Tori, who was awakened by the excited voices of the crowd, was dazed and drooling looking at the picture scroll, and suddenly pointed to a corner of the picture.

"Yawn... Araki-sensei, this symbol seems to be some kind of utensil."

In the lower right corner of that painting, there is a circular symbol outlined with a stick figure.

"Is this thing a bowl? A basin? A pot? It looks familiar..."

After she reminded, everyone noticed the sticky pen symbol below.

"Let me see……"

He took the picture with his mobile phone and uploaded it to the computer, and Hou Hailudou tapped on the keyboard nimbly with his fat fingers.

"Oh, yes, yes... The container with the most similar shape to this one is the 'Bowl'."

In less than a minute, Houhai Ludou compared the results with the image search engine.

"Bowl? The one used by monks to beg for food? No wonder it looks so familiar."

After he reminded, Araki Sousuke suddenly realized.

Bowl generally refers to the food utensils used by monks. According to different materials, there are clay bowls, iron bowls, and wooden bowls.

According to the Buddhist system, monks must live a simple life. In terms of personal belongings, they are only allowed to hold three robes and one bowl, and the amount of each meal should not exceed one bowl.

When "retreating and practicing" at Daishiji Temple in Kawasaki, Araki Sousuke also received a daily eating bowl, but he never brought it back.

"So, this painting and the arrow-like symbol are supposed to point to this thing?"

After summing it up, Mai Hanyu suddenly glanced at Atsukai Ludou with malicious intent.

"Cough, cough, cough... Damn it, let me check it again? The crawler program hasn't even finished writing the information about that wraith just now..."

Feeling the old sister's threatening gaze, Hou Hai Lu Dou who was sitting next to the computer shuddered.

"Who made you the first (only) hacker under my command? I want to ask Lesson 9 and the Institute to help, but Uncle Shiben..."

Mai Hanyu hesitated to speak and glanced at one of the hackers under him.

"Besides, I clearly see that you have a lot of spare time, and just took the time to read a few tentacles-type books..."

"Ahem, watching comics is to relieve stress and work more efficiently... In the high-tech age, the small matter of capturing raw information can be done by crawlers after setting it up. Why do professionals like me do it myself!"

Having been exposed to the fact of his obsession and laziness in public, Hou Hai Lu Dou pretended to be calm and tapped on the keyboard quickly: "I will set up another crawler program to automatically grab tunnels of similar proportions and pictures about that bowl, wait tomorrow Let's see the result..."

Thanks to the generous financial assistance of the "Taito Ward Reconstruction Foundation", he has obtained access to several cloud servers with powerful computing capabilities.

Thanks to the powerful computing power, the speed of collecting data is not the same as when I was in the "small workshop" in Akihabara.
