Truth is everywhere within range

Qiao Qiao flies alone in hell.

Dajiangshan has a flat terrain, which is different from its name. It is mostly a plain.

Probably Shuten-douji chose this name just to remember the glory of the past.

Three days have passed since he left the Snow Wind and came to explore alone.

For three days, Qiao Qiao simply absorbed spiritual power to replenish his energy without eating a bite of food.

"I really want to eat rice, preferably the curry rice made by Sayoko."

Qiao Qiao thought boredly.

On the ground, countless ugly and ferocious monsters were squirming like ants in the direction of the Xuefeng. They were so densely packed that it made people sick to see them.

Among these ants, the huge monster walked slowly, making the earth tremble.

There are tigers with wings and exposed teeth, insects with more than a dozen pairs of articulated legs and carapace, and giant creatures with strong hind legs and shrunken front claws, like ancient dinosaurs.

These are mostly old gods who survived in ancient times.

Under their feet are their own families.

Qiao Qiao flew to the high altitude of hell. There was almost no air here. In addition, Qiao Qiao learned the aura masking technology from Tian Xie Gui. Unless the old gods on the ground had early warning, they would not be able to detect him.

As for some old gods flying in mid-air, Qiao Qiao chose to speed through and leave their perception range before the other party realized it. For these old gods, it was like a mosquito flying over and could be driven away. , but there is no need to stop specifically for this matter.

The Yukikaze and three other scientific research ships are the current formidable enemies.

Of course, while flying, Qiao Qiao does not just rely on the naked eye to search. The detectors of the Hellbound Armor can carry out all-round searches. Together with Qiao Qiao's own spiritual power detection radar, it is enough to dig three feet into the ground and search the ground. Find out the weird things hidden in the corners.

After flying for another hour, Qiao Qiao landed when he saw that there were no weird traces on the ground, only some hell moss and small monsters were left.

Paji——

The monster, which had always been slender and similar to a stick insect, was accidentally trampled to death by Qiao Qiao.

"I'm sorry."

Qiao Qiao apologized to the dead monster, and then took out a pillar from the backpack behind him.

It looked like a thicker cane, but shorter.

Qiao Qiao placed it on the flesh and blood moss. The sticky and slippery lower creature seemed to feel something and squirmed slightly in an attempt to escape.

Qiao Qiao lightly touched the end of the cane with his other hand, and the fluorescence lit up, showing a complex display.

After completing the inspection, Qiao Qiao pressed the button on the side of the cane.

Bang——

The part of the cane that was in contact with the ground suddenly burst out with an explosion, and most of the cane sank directly into the ground.

It was like a nail being hammered into a wooden board.

Naturally, the original flesh and blood moss was destroyed by the pressure and high temperature brought by the instant acceleration, and turned into black ash exuding a burnt smell.

The display on the end of the cane began to change. Qiao Qiao skillfully pressed a few virtual buttons and heard the cane begin to buzz.

Bang——

There was another loud noise, and from the part where the cane was sunk into the ground, some violent vibration spread from the machine, spreading and reverberating in the solid earth.

Soon, a picture appeared in Qiao Qiao's field of vision.

This is the geological distribution map of this large area. Using this cane-like survey instrument developed by Izumo Heavy Industries, Qiao Qiao can use spiritual power to detect things under the ground, just like sonar in the water.

This is also equipment developed for hell.

Because according to Professor Taketori's previous research, the sky in hell has a limit height, and the ground also has a limit depth. A large part of the hell space is buried underground, so it is natural to consider the situation of weird people hiding underground.

Qiao Qiao now comes down to drive piles at intervals, check the terrain, and then fly up to continue searching.

Before this, Qiao Qiao had also discovered underground structures, some of which were old gods that had been sleeping for many years, and some of which were huge caves connected to the ground, but no trace of Shuten Doji was found.

"Well, it looks like here"

Qiao Qiao sensed the aura of the old god not far away, and was about to leave, but suddenly, a gap appeared in the ripples of spiritual power spreading to one side of his field of vision.

This is a sign of a hollow in the earth.

Qiao Qiao saw the ripples sweep past him and was quickly absorbed by them all.

This hole is quite big.

He confirmed the location. The cavity was located hundreds of meters underground, completely isolated from the outside world, and looked like it was naturally formed.

"Go down and have a look."

Qiao Qiao put away the detector and muttered to himself.

Shuten Doji looked at the scene in front of him and had only one thought in his mind.

Won.

The man lying on the rock opened his eyes, and there was fire in his eyes.

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with the crimson color of flames.

boom--

The kimono on the man's body started to burn.

The coarse cloth quickly turned into ashes, and at the same time, a golden and red kimono appeared on the man's body.

On the side, Tamamo Mae looked at the man with a flushed face and shining eyes.

On the other side, Tsuchimikado Kiyoaki, who has been almost completely controlled by Abe Seimei, has an indifferent expression and cannot see his thoughts.

"This is the One."

Shuten Doji murmured to himself.

When this exorcist was causing trouble in Tokyo, Shuten Douji had already been hiding in hell, so he only heard about his deeds from a few words from the monsters.

As an exorcist, he is a genius among geniuses, making all monsters, ghosts, and old gods fearful.

However, he eventually fell and became a ghost.

That day, the noise of the fighting between the two sides reached even to hell, making Shuten Doji think that something terrible had happened, and he hurriedly hid in this last lair.

It's a pity that he was suppressed in the end and failed to completely destroy human civilization.

Shuten Doji thought more than once, if he had waited for the ghost clan and cooperated with the old gods and big monsters, he would have been able to create some waves.

But then he thought about it. The incident happened very suddenly to the exorcist. The exorcist was completely unprepared to create such a big disaster. If he and the monsters, old gods, and ghosts unite again, an intermediate link will appear. The problem might not be as good as it is now.

What he couldn't do back then, Shuten Doji now feels he has a chance.

The man didn't seem to be used to this body yet, and his movements were as sluggish as a doll's.

But he adapted quickly.

The man looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Tamamo Mae.

"is it you?"

He spoke, his voice low.

Tamamo nods silently.

"Oh, pull me back from that world. What do you want to do this time?"

The man laughed and asked.

"Regain control of the world."

Tamamo Mae replied softly.

Her eyes sparkled.

Good times are coming.

By the way, I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday. Mainly because I have been experiencing intermittent paralysis in my left hand since the previous week. The doctor said it was caused by cervical vertebrae compressing the nerves. He asked me not to sit in front of the computer all the time and do this at the same time. For some maintenance, I usually finish my work after get off work around eight o'clock and finish writing the next day's update at twelve o'clock. If I reduce the intensity, I won't be able to guarantee updates, so starting from today it will be two chapters a day until The situation has improved, and I hope all readers will understand.
