Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi discussed it and decided to return to New York first.
The reason why she did not go back to Japan directly was because Koizumi Hongzi still had some important luggage at the Indian Bull Run Inn in Binger, Oklahoma.
The two planned to return to New York for repairs first, and at the same time ask Benniu to courier their luggage to New York.
After getting their luggage, "Qin Zhibo" and Koizumi Hongzi took the plane back to Japan.
Of course, it is the fake "Qin Zhibo" played by Minase Harumu who returns to Japan with Koizumi Anko.
The real Qin Zhibo needs to carry some dangerous contraband, such as the pistol of the Kunyang people, the milk squeezed from the night dire, and the nail clippings of the ancient leather giant.
These are things that are difficult to explain to the customs and must be "smuggled" into Japan through the Dreamland passage.
Now with the [Oath-Keeping Sword], Qin Zhibo has the ability to slay demons and demons in dreams. Naturally, he is not afraid of those demons and ghosts, and it is much easier to enter and exit the dreamland.
After returning to Japan, he will keep his promise to save Hiroki Sawada.
…
The return process this time is the same as last time. You need to choose a suitable cave to enter the ashes space, and then return to the waking world from the dungeon of the Guge Giant.
Although the exit is still at the top of the tall tower in the Guge Giant City, in theory it should go back to the same hill behind the Suzuki family villa as last time.
But the entire ash space can be regarded as a space transfer station. It doesn’t matter where you leave the ash space. What matters is where you choose as the access point, and where you will output.
The burrows are different access points.
There are countless caves on the plain that may lead to anywhere in the world. Even the ancient ghoul clan only knows about a small part of the caves.
For example, the ghouls didn't know before that the hole Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi drilled out led to Youxi.
Under the leadership of an elder ghoul, Qin Zhibo and others arrived at the cave leading to New York.
The elder ghoul stopped in front of the cave and spoke in the unique language of ghouls.
"Gulu, Miguba..."
Matsumoto Ryohei translated for the two of them, "Going out from here is the territory of heretical ghouls, so please be careful."
This reminded Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi of the two groups of ghouls they saw fighting under the New York subway. This exit should be near the place where the two sides fought last time.
Qin Zhibo first nodded to the ghoul elder and then asked Matsumoto Ryohei how to say "thank you" in ghoul language.
"Mimi." Matsumoto Ryohei replied.
"Mimi." Qin Zhibo turned around and thanked the ghoul elder.
After hearing Qin Zhibo's thanks, the ghoul elder was stunned and muttered a series of words, making Qin Zhibo confused.
Is the word "you're welcome" in ghoul language so long?
Matsumoto Ryohei quickly explained to Qin Zhibo, "'Mimi' also means 'I love you' in the language of ghouls. The elder thought you were confessing your love to him..."
Qin Zhibo: "Uh...ah?"
This old crook!
He didn't even think about it, could someone confess to him in this situation?
Koizumi Anko next to me picked up a big joke for no reason, covered her mouth and snickered.
Matsumoto Ryohei explained to the elder again in ghoul language, and then the misunderstanding was resolved, and the elder regained his dignified and serious expression.
Elder Ghoul: "Mimi."
Matsumoto Ryohei: "He's saying you're welcome."
Qin Zhibo: "..."
Does Mimi mean "thank you", "you're welcome", or "I love you"?
I unilaterally declare that Ghoul is the most difficult language in the world!
…
This time, Matsumoto Ryohei still took two ghouls, plus Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi, a total of five people went to the dungeon of the ancient giant.
Since the Gug Giants had just experienced a defeat, the Gug Giants in the underground city had no fighting spirit. Regardless of the two humans who broke into the city, they got up and ran away when they saw the ghoul, without even daring to take a second look.
The group of people had an unobstructed journey until they reached the top of the tower, the top trap door leading to the waking world.
The two ghouls used tombstones like wooden stakes to knock open the top of the trap door. Qin Zhibo climbed up first, and then dragged Koizumi Hongzi up.
Separated by a certain height, Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei said goodbye to each other, and agreed to go here the next time they return to Japan, asking Matsumoto Ryohei to pay attention to the situation in the ashes space in the near future.
The only pity is that the creatures who have been in the dreamland for a long time seem to have a different sense of time from the outside world, so the two parties cannot agree on a specific time.
For example, Matsumoto Ryohei felt like he had been living in a dreamland for at least a month.
But Qin Zhibo knew that in the outside world, Matsumoto Ryohei had disappeared for less than a week.
…
The scenes in the field of vision moved rapidly, and finally stopped in a dark and narrow space.
Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were kneeling one after the other, their bodies surrounded by round iron walls, and the skin of their hands could really feel the moisture and coldness coming from the iron walls.
"Where is this?" Koizumi Hongzi, who was crawling behind, asked.
"It should be in a water pipe..."
Qin Zhibo recalled the previous inspection results after the ghoul fight. Those foreign ghouls seemed to come out of the water pipes.
Good news: This is an abandoned water pipe.
Bad news: It may take a long time to climb out.
But what can be done?
Climb~
So the two of them transformed into plumber Mario and crawled and crawled in the narrow water pipe...
Along the way, the two kept encountering some inexplicable bones, which emitted a stench like traps in the depressions of the water pipes.
After crawling on their stomachs for half an hour, the two finally got out of the water pipe and arrived at the familiar shaft.
Qin Zhibo looked up at the iron bridge above his head, with various abandoned pipes crisscrossing the middle. If it were him, there would be no problem in climbing up.
But it would be troublesome if I brought Koizumi Anko with me.
Just when Qin Zhibo was at his wits end, several beams of flashlight light swept through the horizontal pipe at the bottom of the shaft and shone directly on Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.
"New York police!"
"Hold your head with both hands! Don't move—!"
…
Soon, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were transferred to the New York Police Department as suspicious persons.
The person in charge of the interrogation was an old face, Officer Radixiu. Qin Zhibo had seen him in Mao Lilan's memory of eloping to New York with Kudo Shinichi last year.
Officer Radixiu first asked about the identity of the two people and what they were doing at that place.
"Mr. Police Officer, I am a detective and I am investigating the recent subway murder case with my assistant."
On the way here, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi had already guessed that these policemen were investigating the death of a subway driver.
So Qin Zhibo used the psychic communication skills he learned from the Kunyang people in the police car to collude with Koizumi Hongzi to give a confession, insisting that they came in to investigate the case.
In this way, it can be explained that the embarrassed look on the two people was caused by the investigation of the case.
"detective?"
There was a questioning look in Radixiu's eyes.
He put on his white gloves, took out the Kunyang pistol from Qin Zhibo's backpack, and asked: "Then may I ask, what is this thing?"
Qin Zhibo looked at the gun-shaped thing and answered without changing his expression or heart, "First of all, let's rule out that this is a gun."
Radixiu frowned and glanced at the "gun" in his hand again.
Although this thing is in the form of a gun, there are no bullets in the magazine, and there is not even a place to load bullets.
It's probably an electric toy gun...
Radishu took another Python revolver from the table and an opened box of bullets from his backpack.
"What about this? Sir, how do you explain this?"
Qin Zhibo replied: "First, let's make sure this is a gun."
"A gun?" Radish pushed the gun to the side of the table. "Why are you carrying a gun while investigating a case? And your gun has already been fired."
"Tell me, where did you fire? What did you shoot at?"
Obviously, Officer Radixiu was already suspicious of Qin Zhibo, an unknown person.
Recently, there have been frequent disappearances on the New York subway lines that operate late at night. Especially in the past few days, even the subway driver disappeared.
The New York police suspect that there is a criminal organization in New York's underground system. The purpose of this organization is unknown and may be related to human organ trafficking.
To this end, the police increased their investigative efforts and began 24-hour patrols of the underground system in an effort to find clues to the criminal organization.
And at this critical moment, a strange man carrying a large-caliber pistol and a girl were caught by the police?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
The intuition from decades of being a police officer told Radixiu that he had not arrested the wrong person.
When Qin Zhibo saw this, he didn't bother to explain anymore, and besides, the situation here was indeed unclear.
You can’t say that you traveled from the underground world in Oklahoma two thousand kilometers away, right?
Were the bullets used to shoot Kunyang and Guge giants?
Then, Qin Zhibo showed a mysterious expression and whispered: "Actually, my true identity is a special investigator of the CIA, who was assigned to perform a secret mission."
"Due to the principle of confidentiality, I cannot disclose my specific itinerary and mission content."
"But you can contact my higher-level contact person. His name is Patrick, and the phone number is..."
After saying this, Officer Radish was still dubious.
But with an attitude of preferring to believe it, he left the interrogation room first, and asked the two policemen at the door to watch him before leaving.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Officer Radish came back with a slightly depressed expression.
"Mike, please take off the handcuffs for him."
"Everything is returned to you, you can leave..."
Although Radixiu didn't say anything, his attitude said everything.
When Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi came out of the New York Police Department with all their luggage, they immediately received a call from Patrick.
Patrick mainly called to ask what the specific situation was.
Radixiu called suddenly just now, which shocked Patrick. He thought Qin Zhibo had just joined Green Delta and disappeared.
But as a result, he was arrested by the New York police as a suspect in the case.
Without thinking much, Patrick immediately contacted the members of Cell A and used his internal connections to directly fish out Qin Zhibo.
It is for this reason that Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi were released so quickly.
But according to principle, Green Delta must also know what Qin Zhibo did and why he was caught by the police underground in New York.
In response to Patrick's questioning, Qin Zhibo told Patrick about seeing ghouls killing people under the subway a few days ago.
They have been secretly investigating this matter underground in New York for the past few days.
Hearing this, Patrick said that Green Delta and Green Delta had known about this for a long time.
"Those dog-headed creatures are called ghouls. Not all of them eat living people, but some heretical ghouls attack and eat living people."
"We have been thinking of ways to eradicate the threat of these ghouls, but the time is not yet ripe..."
"If you want to know the specific situation of those creatures, you can go to Nancy from N Cell. She is very familiar with ghouls."
Qin Zhibo felt disdainful. No matter how familiar the other party was with ghouls, how could he be as familiar with them as he was?
"Mimi" in ghoul language also means thank you, you're welcome, and I love you. Who knows this kind of thing?
But Patrick's next sentence made Qin Zhibo change his mind.
"...The child you brought is now staying at Nancy's house."
When Patrick said this, Qin Zhibo wanted to go over and have a look.
It just so happens that it will take some time to wait for Koizumi Hongzi's luggage to be mailed here. I can take the time to see how the new life of Hondo Eiyu is going.
…
Back at the Hilton Hotel, Koizumi Hongzi booked another presidential suite without hesitation.
The first thing the two of them did when they entered the room was to take a shower.
Calculating the time from entering Kunyang to returning to New York, it is about three days.
These three days were not spent in a cozy house, but in a deserted land, fighting against the disgust from ancient times.
Therefore, the two of them took a long bath.
Of course, they are washed separately.
An hour later, Qin Zhibo came out of the bathroom of his room first and called Benniu in Binge Town.
On the phone, Qin Zhibo told Benniu that he was now in New York and asked him to send all the luggage in his room to the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, New York.
As for the rental car, I also helped return it to the rental car agency in Oklahoma City.
"What! Are you in New York now?"
"When did you come out? Why didn't you tell me?"
Benniu thought Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi came out of there and went to New York without saying goodbye.
Or maybe he didn't expect that the two of them could come out of that terrifying underground...
"It's a long story...but I found the amulet your father left down there, and I can send it to you."
Qin Zhibo played with the Kunyang metal coin in his hand, which was the amulet Benniu said.
This thing can indicate Enkai's location underground, but now he no longer needs it.
"Really?" Benniu's voice was silent for a long time, and then he asked with some choking: "Then my father..."
"……Feel sorry."
Qin Zhibo remembered what Khasaj had said about the fate of the old Indian. He was the first person to be executed that year.
