Tokyo underground city

Chapter 266 Uncle Jin

After Lin Huai'en and the others eliminated Kawagami and the others, Ishikawa Kaito and the others also became honest.

Regardless of whether Lin Huaien and the others are truly national-level explorers, at least their strength is not something they can compete with.

However, from Ishikawa's gaffe just now, Lin Huai'en realized something -

"Dragon King Society? Do you know the origins of these people?"

"...Yes." Ishikawa subconsciously wanted to quibble, but seeing Lin Huaien's expression, he immediately replied honestly: "They are the Dragon King Society, one of the three major underworld organizations that control the Shibuya Underground City. I saw the river Your Excellency, you will know their identities.”

"They want to silence you? Even destroying your passes?"

Lin Huai'en frowned, feeling that there was something else hidden.

"...I think this may be a misunderstanding."

However, Ishikawa Kairen hesitated for a moment, but took the initiative to back down: "Perhaps we misunderstood what Mr. Kawagami and others meant. After all, in the underground city, as long as we are killed, we will lose this memory, and there is no need for Kawagami and them to treat us." Kill them all..."

Lin Huaien nodded, this was also where he was confused.

"Unless what they want is not just your silence, but also the clues they may be looking for."

Yuan Ximu, who had been filming something nearby, suddenly spoke.

The girl flipped the long hair around her neck: "For example, what are they trying to get from the girl named 'Misaka Tsubaki', and once they get this thing, they must consider whether other forces will Because of her death, this matter will be connected with the Dragon King Association."

"Once we see people from the Dragon King Association getting together with Misaka Tsubaki, it will be meaningless for them to defend themselves."

"That's why they simply let you go."

"But at the same time, in order to avoid being deceived by us, we sent ten masked warriors to test..."

Hara Yumu's inference was very logical. Lin Huai'en and Ishikawa Kaito looked at each other and both thought of this possibility.

"However...even if we found out, they still focused on chasing Misaka Tsubaki...it means they are determined to get what she has on her..."

Lin Huai'en made a subconscious judgment and turned his attention to Ishikawa Kaito.

Seeing Lin Huai'en's gaze, Ishikawa Kairen quickly wavered. He waved his hands in a panic——

"I don't know why Miss Misaka got into trouble with the Dragon King Society people..."

"But..." At this point, Ishikawa Kaito hesitated for a moment, and seemed to reveal it vaguely——

"I heard that Miss Misaka has something to do with the 'famous' Tianshuikan..."

"Tianshui Pavilion... I didn't expect Miss Misaka to be related to that Tianshui Pavilion..."

Hearing what Ishikawa Kaito said, his companions began to whisper in surprise.

It seems that this [Tenshuikan] is indeed a very famous place among explorers in Tokyo.

"So, Tianshui Pavilion...what exactly is going on?"

Lin Huai'en thought about it and looked at Ishikawa Kairen.

"That's it..." The young man thought for a while and replied: "The Tianshui Hall is quite famous. The Tianshui Hall is the dojo of a high-ranking black card explorer. This black card explorer was in his twenties. A few years ago, it was a household name in Tokyo.”

"However, during an expedition seven or eight years ago, the black warrior named 'Tian Shui Xun' fell silently on the first floor of the 45th floor. The only relic returned to the ground was The weapon for which he is famous——"

"[Shan Laoqing Qingguang]."

"Samurai sword?"

Lin Huai'en frowned after hearing the name. [Yamakiri] was the name of a samurai sword that he was familiar with, and [Qingguang] should refer to the imitation of the sword [Yamakiri].

Ishikawa Kaito nodded, then shook his head: "[Yamakiri Kiyomitsu] is indeed a samurai sword, but it is also a powerful dungeon relic."

"According to some 'experts' speculation, this [Yamaki Kiyomitsu], which is known as the 'Seven Great Demonic Swords', is at least a [First-Class Relic] worth over one billion yen."

"And this [First-Class Relic], which is worth the equivalent of ten mansions in Tokyo, has been kept in the 'Tianshui Pavilion' that has been dilapidated for many years. It is not a strange thing to be targeted by the Dragon King Society..."

Ishikawa Kaito shook his head as he spoke.

"[Level 1 Relic] A level katana..."

Lin Huai'en nodded slightly. One billion yen is almost equivalent to 60 million yuan, which is indeed the level of [first-class relic].

However, he still had some doubts: "Since it is a [first-class relic], why don't the people at Tianshui Hall sell it? Is it because it is a relic of 'Tianshui Xun', so do you want it as a souvenir?"

"Because it's just a broken knife..."

Ishikawa Keito shook his head and told what everyone knew among the explorers of Shibuya Underground City: "After Mr. Tenshui passed away, the Tenshui Dojo did consider selling this relic."

"But according to the bidders at the time, after Mr. Tianshui's death, this notorious demon knife had been broken and no longer had its former glory."

"So when faced with the base price of 300 million yen quoted by Tensui Dojo, none of the major chaebols who participated in the bidding took action, so [Yamakiri Kiyomitsu] was left in Tensui Hall."

"...Now the Dragon King's Association has another idea of ​​​​the Tianshui Pavilion."

Lin Huai'en frowned and gradually figured out the whole story.

"Compared to the situation when Mr. Wang first passed away, the current situation in Tianshui Hall is even worse."

Ishikawa Kaito replied: "In fact, the person who entrusted me to take care of Misaka-dono is the current head of Tensui Hall and my friend 'Tensui Yu'. He was originally a genius swordsman, but he was entrusted with important tasks by the people of Tensui Hall." , I hope that as Mr. Tianshui’s son, he can revitalize the entire Tianshui Hall.”

"But during a previous monster surge, he suffered an accident and was seriously injured. He has been bedridden for three months now."

"The older generation of explorers who have persisted until now because of Tian Shui Xun's favor, as well as the young explorers who came here because of the reputation of 'Tianshui Yu' as a genius swordsman, have all abandoned Tian Shui Pavilion. go."

"As the adopted daughter of Mr. Kaoru Tensui, Lord Tsubaki, in order to obtain [Colorful Deer] to treat Yuu Tensui's injuries, so he took out Mr. Tensui's relic [Yamagiri Kiyomitsu] and took it with him. This attracted the attention of the Dragon King Society. People..."

.

"A lonely explorer girl, coupled with a [first-level relic] that has been in decline for a long time..."

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but glance at Ishikawa Kairen: "You know very clearly."

"Use a small plan, use a small plan." Ishikawa Kaito smiled awkwardly: "I am best at inferring the truth from various clues. Without a little bit of expertise, I can't survive in a place like Shibuya... …”

"Okay, let's take it as what you said is true, but you still have to follow my colleagues to the customs to write a letter of apology and a letter of apology."

Lin Huai'en looked at his watch.

While they were killing the Lord on the river and chatting, the explorers from the association who often camped at the customs had almost arrived.

After handing over Ishikawa Kaito and others, Lin Huai'en was ready to leave.

However, before leaving, Ishikawa Kaito, although hesitant, still stopped him——

"Your Excellency, if you and your team still have some energy left, please help me take care of Miss Misaka... After all, I was entrusted by her brother. It doesn't matter if [Yamaki Kiyomitsu] is taken away. If even Miss Misaka They all died here, I really have no shame to see Tianshui Yujun..."

Seeing the depressed look on Ishikawa Kairen's face, Lin Huai'en shook his head noncommittally——

"Let's talk about it then. Since the other party is planning to destroy your dungeon pass, it means that 'Your Excellency Tiancheng' is also a psyker - otherwise, how could an ordinary explorer threaten you."

Seeing Lin Huai'en's clear answer, Ishikawa Kairen was a little dumbfounded, and in the end he could only nod.

.

"What do you think of Ishikawa?"

After several surviving explorers from the "Kanda River Ronin" office left, Yuan Yumu suddenly turned his attention to Lin Huai'en.

"Knows too much and talks too little. I don't trust him."

Lin Huai'en just replied calmly: "His statement is mostly true, but some of it is probably false."

"Which part?" Tanya looked at Yuan Ximu and Lin Huai'en, who had a perfect understanding of their words, and frowned: "I didn't feel anything strange."

"This is just my speculation, but since Tanya cares, I'll tell you."

As Lin Huai'en hurried on, he analyzed the information revealed in Ishikawa Kairen's words——

"According to Ishikawa Kaito, his client is Tensui Yu from the Tensui Hall, who is the son of the deceased Heika explorer and Kaoru Tensui."

"Once Kaoru Tensui's adopted daughter 'Misaka Tsubaki' is killed and [Yamaki Kiyomitsu] is taken away, Yu Tenmizu will immediately know that something is wrong."

"The Dragon King's move to kill people and silence them makes no sense at all."

"Unless..." Yuan Ximu interrupted appropriately.

"Unless?" Tanya tilted her head in confusion.

"Unless this is a play deliberately staged by Ishikawa Kaito for Misaka Tsubaki."

Lin Huaien nodded and replied.

"Ah!" Tanya blinked in surprise: "So Mr. Ishikawa is with the Dragon King Association?"

"After all, he is a person who walks on the gray border. He colludes with the Dragon King Society and plots [Shan Laoqi Qingguang]. He is no more happy than taking the few small coins from Tianshui Pavilion."

Yuan Ximu shook her head noncommittally. Ishikawa Kairen concealed some things very well, but they still couldn't hide it from her and Lin Huai'en.

"If there's a flaw, it's that he knows too much about [Yamakiri Kiyomitsu]."

Lin Huai'en nodded: "No matter how careless Tian Shuiyu is, if it involves Misaka Chun's safety, he will not explain the matter of [Yamao Qingguang] to Ishikawa Kairen in every detail."

"So, unless the Ishikawa Kai people have already targeted [Yamakiri Kiyomitsu], it is impossible to even know that Misaka Tsubaki has [Yamakiri Kiyomitsu] with her."

Yuan Ximu and Lin Huaien said in harmony.

"Then his intention in telling us these things is..."

Tanya hesitated and thought a little more.

"Probably because they are afraid of being embezzled by Tiancheng and the others."

Lin Huai'en nodded: "Ishikawa and the others can only be regarded as 'accomplices' with the Dragon King Association. If he and Kandagawa Ronin are not around, the gang members of the Dragon King Association can kill Misaka Tsubaki and take away [Yamaki Kiyomitsu]. The matter was framed on others——"

"No one saw it anyway."

Yuan Ximu nodded.

"You..." Tanya looked at the two companions beside her speechlessly: "Fortunately, you are my teammates..."

"Otherwise I'll be sold by you and I'll still have to count the money for you."

Tanya said a proverb she had just learned, and Lin Huai'en just looked at Yuan Ximu, then smiled and looked elsewhere.

.

Now that he understood the cause and effect, Lin Huaien no longer hesitated and led Tanya and the others towards the [Wall of Lachesis].

Regarding the matter between Ishikawa Kaito and Misaka Tsubaki, it can only be regarded as a sideshow for him.

Whether [Yamaki Kiyomitsu] was taken away by the Dragon King Society or Misaka Tsubaki successfully escaped from Amagi, it had nothing to do with the daytime thief.

After the delay caused by this incident, it took the daytime thieves team two days to arrive at the meeting place.

"You are three hours late, but I have received the report from the Dragon King Association, so I will consider you qualified."

[Hongliu] The leader here is a middle-aged explorer nicknamed "Uncle Jin".

With a face as sharp as a knife, he was wearing black goggles and sunglasses, a thick military body armor, and carrying a rifle and an anti-explosion steel shield in his hands. He originally thought he would see a few traditional dungeon explorers. Lin Huai'en was shocked.

"Is this your first time to cooperate with [Hongliu]? Let me introduce myself. We are members of the underground city branch of the Black Steel International Security Force under the 'Hongliu Group'. We are responsible for the combat support of the Shangcheng District Association. "

Seeing Lin Huaien's surprised expression, Uncle Jin reached out and shook his right hand, then patted his shoulder——

"If anything happens during this joint operation, just tell me."

"Okay, Minister Xiao has already told me the specific situation."

Lin Huai'en nodded and spoke bluntly in front of this old explorer who faintly smelled like a special forces soldier.
