The stand-in is my wife.

He was surprised: "How can this power be used like this?"

"I have pre-processed my visual data so that you can see it, otherwise you can only see some vague thoughts."

Icarus said calmly.

Amanozaki didn't answer her words and looked a little pale.

He swore he had never seen anything so disgusting.

The bottom of this shaft was originally supposed to be a static tank after chemical filtration, and then the purified water would be discharged into the river together with other static tanks.

But now the water throughout the shaft is a rich black-red color.

Countless limbs of four-clawed scale fish were floating in the water, mixed with human clothing. It looked like clothing that had been subject to continuous quality inspection, maintenance, and security inspections. Amanozaki even saw a dozen sets of Fengdu knight's underworld uniforms.

The water temperature here is quite high for some reason. The corpses and blood soaked in it decay at an extremely fast speed in the high temperature, exuding a strong stench.

But the most unacceptable thing is that those four-clawed fish, in such dirty water, selflessly entangle and mate, performing the most sacred task of passing on genes since the birth of living things. Amanozaki held Icarus's hand and walked in the dull sewer.

Each feather of Icarus's wings exudes a faint shimmer, and together they form a three-dimensional light source.

This sewer is not hot. On the contrary, the temperature is quite low. Amanozaki and his party have been walking for a full two minutes and are already far away from the entrance they opened.

He felt that the reason for the dullness was that this sewer was not used except during the flood season and had been abandoned all year round. The years of moisture in the ground had saturated the air with water. In addition, all sewers had the usual strange smell. Breathing in it would indeed bring harmful effects to the lungs. Come with a strong burden.

However, he has become "inhuman" after taking a medicinal bath, so he can survive without a gas mask or respirator, but now his mouth is full of bitterness and he retches from time to time.

"It'll be fine in a few minutes."

Icarus spread his wings to light the way, not forgetting to care for Amanozaki, "Normal people can't smell anything now. You can still distinguish smells because your sense of smell is now comparable to that of dogs."

"Are you saying that I have a dog nose, and then indirectly calling me a dog?"

Amanozaki said dully, spitting as he spoke. This is mucus automatically secreted after the bronchial tubes are stimulated to isolate any irritating and toxic gases.

"You said so yourself." Icarus brushed the ends of his hair behind his ears with his fingers and showed a successful smile.

The date with Amanozaki seemed to have opened up her inner and outer channels, completely reviving the consciousness of the [ideal type], overcoming the naturally dull Icarus, enriching her speech and expressions, and becoming less temperamental.

‘But occasionally she still reverts to her old ways and turns into a silent fool... um, I mean a beautiful girl. ’ Looking at Icarus with a dangerous look in his eyes, Amanozaki quickly corrected his thoughts.

"snort."

Icarus let out a coy sound and continued to act as a humanoid light bulb.

The sewer was quiet for a while, and only the occasional kicked-up garbage disturbed the rats that had made their home here, causing green eyes and squeaking sounds.

When Amanozaki walked by holding the crystal's left hand, what was left on the ground were the neat corpses of a whole family of children.

"This can be regarded as an outstanding contribution to Fengdu City's four-pest eradication campaign." Amanozaki said while making magic reserves for the subsequent battle.

After walking for about five minutes, they finally reached the end. Amanozaki threw a quartz infused with magic power. The quartz glowed brightly and fell, revealing the huge and complex structure in front of the two of them.

This is a vertical shaft about 80 meters deep and 50 meters in diameter. There are dozens of channels above and below that are smaller than the concrete pipe where Amanosaki is located. Some of them are dry, and some are spitting out continuously. Sewage with tons of foam.

There are countless metal pipes in the shaft that are encapsulated and coated with anti-corrosion paint. They are attached to the shaft and extend all around like spider webs.

Icarus scanned it and spoke quickly:

"These are all rainwater pipes. After preliminary resting, there should be a place below the shaft leading to other levels of shafts. The current purpose here is wastewater transfer."

"When there are heavy rains and Fengdu is affected by river flooding, these dry pipes will quickly pour into the huge rainfall on the surface and collect it here and other places. At that time, we will use the characteristics of water to naturally pass through the pipes we are in, and will Most of the rainwater is transported to deep water storage wells to prevent flooding. "

Amanozaki looked at the dim shaft, listened to the faint sound of water and Icarus's explanation, and couldn't help but imagine the scene when all the pipes roared out and the water vapor was stirred up by the mighty waves like imprisoned dragons. Emotionally.

"This is the power of mankind."

Amanozaki stood by the pipeline and sighed sincerely, "Countless small beings like me can actually create buildings that change the terrain and local climate. Human beings are really great."

"Pay attention."

Icarus casually shattered Amanozaki's lyricism from the side, "This world is not the earth, and there is no people's view of history. What is popular here is the heroic view of history. The biggest contributor to this project is not the people, but the numbers." The foundation was laid by the joint efforts of the famous and helm-level heroes.”

"How do you know this engineering knight is the biggest contributor?" Amanozaki looked at Icarus in astonishment.

Ikaros shrugged, picked up Amanosaki, and flew into the shaft: "You've seen this news before, but you forgot, but your subconscious still remembers it, so I remember it."

"Did you?"

"Of course, I also know the name of this sewer project." Ikaros took Amanosaki down, opened an unlocked metal gate, and entered an extremely narrow passage that only allowed three people to walk side by side.

This is the inspection passage.

In the long, deep, wet and slippery inspection passage that looked like the intestines of some creature, Ikaros's voice was ethereal and melodious.

"It's called [Unending Land], taken from the Infernal Purgatory."

Her voice echoed in the sound of water and the shaft, but it was creepy.

Amanosaki asked and answered questions with Ikaros all the way. After several times, he confirmed that he really didn't remember as much as the other party, and couldn't help but sigh that people are really old.

While they were talking, they had passed through three shafts and walked down one floor.

Water flows to the lower places. In order to save electricity for the sewer system that stores and purifies the domestic sewage of millions of people, the purification system of the entire Wujiandi follows the mechanism that the later the process is, the deeper it is underground.

Therefore, based on Ikaros's detection of the water quality conditions of the river, she concluded that the queenfish would be near the lowest level of Wujiandi.

Along the way, the two of them passed by the knights of Fengdu several times, and they all hid in advance with the detection ability of the universal war angel, thus avoiding conflicts.

Until they came to a deep well, the smooth journey in the sewer changed.

"Ugh!"

Amanozaki's well-tested nose finally smelled it again, and he vomited directly.

"What the hell is this smell! Isn't it said that the lower you go, the cleaner it is?" Amanozaki's face turned green.

Ikaros seemed much calmer in the stench, or she didn't have a sense of taste in the human sense at all, so no matter how disgusting it was, it wouldn't affect her.

"It's the smell of a rotting corpse," she said, "right down the shaft."

Ikaros stretched his head out and looked for two seconds, then drew back solemnly and closed his eyes.

Then the scene that Ikaros had thought of also appeared in Amanozaki's mind.

He was surprised and said, "Can this ability be used like this?"

"I pre-processed my visual data, so you can see it, otherwise you can only see some vague ideas."

Ikaros said calmly.

Amanozaki did not answer her, his face was a little pale.

He swore that he had never seen such a disgusting scene.

Under this shaft, it was supposed to be a still pool after chemical filtration, and then it would be discharged into the river together with other still pools to discharge purified water.

But now the water in the entire shaft is a strong black and red.

The limbs and arms of countless four-clawed scale fish were floating in the water, mixed with human clothing, which looked like the quality inspection, maintenance, and security inspection clothes of Wujiandi. Amanozaki even saw a dozen sets of Fengdu knights' underworld uniforms.

The water temperature here is quite high for some reason. The bodies and blood soaked in it decay at a very fast speed in the high temperature, emitting a strong stench.

But the most unacceptable thing is that those four-clawed scale fish are entangled and mating in such dirty water, carrying out the most sacred mission of transmitting genes since the birth of living things.

Chapter 90: Purgatory

The olfactory nerves and nasal trigeminal nerves are intertwined to transmit information, and the strong nerve impulses warn Amanozaki's brain:

"There are E. coli and pathogens everywhere here. If you want to live, hold your breath and get out of here."

For this reason, Amanozaki had to shape a crystal mask and tear open his shirt to fill it in to make a simple filter mask.

Although he will not be killed by these things now, the instinctive nausea and discomfort of the creature will still affect his next operation.

"What should I do now?"

Ikaros continued to collect information nearby, and his mind was full of how he could occupy the high position of the shaft and show the absolute advantage of the "Queen of the Sky" from a high position.

"This shaft is too narrow. We can't even reload the guns or the ammunition." Ikaros looked sad, with dark eyebrows furrowed, like her black hair draped softly over her shoulders, like Xi Shi holding her heart, which made people feel distressed.

But her words were not like those of a soft and weak woman like Xi Shi or Lin Daiyu. Instead, she exuded the temperament of a female demon like Sun Erniang, full of murderous intent, as if she was going to turn the beasts below into meat paste and make buns tonight.

Amanozaki had to hold Ikaros's shoulders to slightly appease the sky queen's "claustrophobia" in a small space... or the fear of insufficient firepower.

Stroking the beautiful woman's smooth shoulders, Amanozaki said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, have you finished the underwater scan?"

"Well, there are those strange fish below, all of them are carrying out reproductive activities... Do you smell the smell of heather?"

Amanozaki was stunned: "I can only smell the smell of decay... Is your nose so sharp? Can you distinguish this smell?"

"The water is full of fish eggs and the smell of their reproduction." Ikaros frowned and complained, "It's like entering a hundred-acre heather field."

"Don't say it." Amanozaki covered his mouth, and the feeling of nausea came up again.

This time it was purely psychological.

He pinched his neck and took a while to catch his breath: "Next time, I must bring a tactical bag. There are stimulants and sedatives in it. I still overestimated my psychological endurance."

"Let's get back to the topic. Have you found any traces of the queenfish?"

"No."

Ikaros grabbed the edge of the pipe with one hand, his five fingers deeply sunk into the concrete, and half of his head stuck out to look up. "There is no sign of large-scale biological activity. The concrete structure of the shaft is very stable. There are no consistent scratches on the surface. There is no pheromone in the air that overrides everything. There is only..."

She glanced at Amanozaki and shrugged: "There are only estrus pheromones everywhere, from the water to the air, even their cries."

"What the hell is moaning in bed." Amanozaki muttered in a low voice, dejected, "Let's change places. We are coming down to kill the queenfish. Without the queenfish, these beasts are just beasts. We just need to fill the water with chemical reagents and they will all die."

Ikaros nodded, she folded her wings, and climbed out of the narrow pipe first. Amanozaki adjusted the crystals, shaped them into hooks and nailed them into the wall, and followed the beauty closely into another sewage pipe.

It may not be reasonable to call these huge circular passages pipes. Their official name should be "tunnels", which Amanozaki learned from the markings of the quality inspection pipes.

The shaft they were in was located in the middle and lower reaches of the entire Wujian underground water system. The treated sewage would be randomly reused here, most of it would be discharged into the river, and a small part would enter the city's tap water system, becoming "recycled water" for watering greenery and washing streets in the city.

That is to say, there are one or two layers below.

Amanozaki concluded that the queenfish should be there.

The two walked along the narrow passages on both sides of the tunnel for people to step on. They could hear the sound of water dripping from the dome and the rushing water under their feet. The further they walked, the lighter the smell.

The proportion of the faint fragrance in the air began to increase.

Amanozaki walked for a few more minutes before stopping.

'What? ' Ikaros asked in his heart.
