But there is no way. With the invitation from the Onmyoji Bureau, most forces have sent people here. If the Ministry of Environment does not come, the Onmyoji Bureau will probably be eager to fan the flames.
This is a mess.
At this moment, Iijima Noriyuki suddenly asked in a trembling voice:
"By the way, the SDS should be sending personnel from Operations Unit , right?"
"Yes, after all, the only manpower SDS can deploy to the island nation is a branch of the Operations Department."
Isayama Yomi first responded to Iijima Noriyuki, then turned around and asked curiously:
"What's wrong? You're asking this out of the blue."
At this time, Noriyuki Iijima, who was sitting by the window, pointed forward with a grim expression.
At that time, Isayama Yomi leaned over and immediately saw the expressionless black figure standing on the steps of the shrine.
Looking at Luo Shu's face that was clearly devoid of any emotion, Jianshan Huangquan's face froze.
At this time, Iijima Noriyuki said with a sad face:
"The Operations Department sent someone, but why did they send this evil star as well? Where was the promotion to department head that was promised?"
Hearing this, Jianshan Huangquan remained silent.
Chapter 140 The Abyss Comes
The black car carrying Chikichi Ogiwara and Shin Zao crossed the blockade and stopped on the side of the road.
Behind him, the minibus carrying a group of "monsters" also slowly stopped.
With a bang, Zao Shen got out of the car first, walked to Luo Shu with a cigarette in his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"There are five groups of people in total. The Nura Group, the Seto Group, the Vampire Senate, the Ministry of the Environment, and the reinforcements invited by the Onmyoji."
"The more troublesome one is the person invited by the Onmyoji Ryoku, the current head of the Jinguji family, 'Jinguji Kuesumi'."
"It is said that he is very famous in England, and he was confirmed as the master as soon as he returned to the country."
Because at present, the warriors and SDS are considered an alliance, so Zao Shen explained the situation to Luo Shu as soon as possible.
"Jinguji Kuesumi? I remember that the Jinguji family is the leading family of the Ministry of the Environment...but they were invited by the Onmyoji?"
By now, Luo Shu had become numb to this "messy" world.
No matter how the system beeped and reported that it had found "individuals who could be developed into a clan", Luo Shu just moved his eyelids, took a look, and let it go.
After all, the people coming here are basically other people's "talents".
In this situation, instead of Luo Shu trying hard to recruit people himself, it would be better for him to directly invite Cooperation 06 in the name of SDS like Zao Maye did. This would definitely be more efficient than Luo Shu doing it himself.
"Besides these people?" Luo Shu stood on the steps and turned his head to ask Zao Shen.
"The rest are still playing this rush, but it's probably the next wave."
As Zao Shen spoke, he looked down at his watch, then looked up at the sacred tree of Higurashi Shrine.
According to the information provided by the Onmyoji Bureau, the Sacred Tree triggers the arrival of the abyss approximately once an hour, with an interval of 5 minutes between each event.
Calculate time
"In about 6 minutes, the abyss will descend once more. Our group will go in, and the others will have to wait for the next group."
Hearing Zao Shen's words, Luo Shu nodded slightly, looked at the group of members from various forces getting off the car and said:
"Go and inform them, we'll get ready and enter the abyss together."
Hearing this, Zao Shen nodded, turned around and met the eyes of Biao Wenqi who was walking over.
"Hey, Shen, your sister is chatting animatedly with the two girls over there."
Biao Wenqi held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:
"Women are much faster at building relationships than we are."
"Shut up." Zao Shen glanced at Biao Wenqi, then said, "There are still six minutes before the abyss descends. You should get ready."
"Six minutes? I see."
After giving his instructions, Zao Shen walked straight towards Zao Maye.
After giving a brief explanation, Biao Wenshi glanced at Luo Shu, and found that Ishikawa Xueli, who had just got off the car, was walking towards Luo Shu with Qingtian Fang, so he stopped and stood aside.
"Are you Minister Luo Shu?" The beautiful woman, covering her lips with the sleeves of her kimono, walked towards Luo Shu.
"General Huapiao asked me to give you his regards."
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised his eyebrows slightly:
"you are?"
"Nura Group Officer Oikawa Xueli, you can just call me Xueli."
After Ikawa Xueli introduced herself, the tall man in monk's robes behind her said in a muffled voice:
"Qingtianfang."
Seeing the members of the Nura group coming to pay their respects as soon as they got off the car, Luo Shu gave them a somewhat good look.
Of course, this good look was definitely not given because of the mature and charming 'Oikawa Xueli', but because of the 'friendship' between Luo Shu and Nurarihyon.
"I understand. Tell old man Slippery that I received his regards."
After explaining the polite things, Luo Shu sent some information to Oikawa Xueli and Qingtianfang:
"The abyss of Higurashi Shrine is a little special. It erupts once an hour or so and lasts for five minutes each time. There are six minutes left before the eruption. So far, no one has successfully returned. You should be careful."
Hearing this, Ikawa Xueli and Qingtianfang looked at each other, then nodded and said:
"Thank you for your notification. We have prepared emergency escape props."
Hearing this, Luo Shu nodded, and he knew what the so-called 'emergency escape device' was.
The so-called 'emergency escape device' is a 'prop' in the shape of an aluminum key. Its function is very simple, which is to escape from the abyss to the set entrance in an emergency.
The setting method is very simple. Just throw the "lock" that comes with the key near the entrance.
Although this emergency release device is powerful, it is generally disposable.
As for why it is a one-time thing, it is naturally because the scientific research department of SDS needs to make money.
That’s right, this so-called emergency escape device is a black technology developed by Weildi.
With Luo Shu's authority, he naturally knew that this was a one-time tool developed based on the demigod-level abyss item 'Star Gate'.
With this thing, the risk of exploring the abyss is greatly reduced. This is why the Onmyoji Bureau plans to increase investment even though a general is "missing".
After all, even though they were prepared, if the personnel have not returned yet, there is a high probability that they are trapped.
Regardless of whether it is a person or an object, being able to trap a divine general is obviously of extremely high "value".
As long as there is profit to be made, people will naturally increase the stakes. This is human nature.
While Luo Shu was communicating with Ishikawa Xueli, he suddenly noticed a gaze. He turned his head and found that a silver-haired Gothic girl with a crescent mark on her forehead was looking at him with a serious look.
"Jinguji Jiuhuicheng?" Luo Shu looked at the girl opposite him with some doubt, wondering why she was so wary of him.
At this time, Jinguji Jiucheng, who found that Luo Shu had noticed her gaze, said nothing. She just stood on the side of the road with a cold face, waiting quietly.
Upon seeing this, Luo Shu just glanced at Jinguji Kuesumi, gave a "suspicious" evaluation to the 913 party, then turned his head and looked at the people who were listening to Ogiwara Chikichi's introduction of the situation.
When Luo Shu saw Jianshan Huangquan, he was somewhat surprised:
"Huh, the aura of disaster has actually decreased a bit? This is quite interesting."
At that time, Iijima Noriyuki, who was listening to Chikichi Ogiwara's explanation, shuddered, stole a glance in the direction of the stairs, then hissed and said in a low voice:
"Huang Quan, that guy is watching us."
"...I know." Jianshan Huangquan said calmly: "After all, we have met once, it is normal to look at each other more."
Iijima Noriyuki looked a little flustered:
"No, this is not normal. He has been looking at you. It's over. Are we going to be the chicken that scares the monkey?"
"With so many forces getting involved, why did he choose to cause trouble for us?"
"....." Upon hearing this, Jianshan Huangquan was too lazy to pay attention to this dramatic man and closed his eyes.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Just after Chikichi Ogiwara finished explaining the situation with a dry mouth.
An invisible tremor swept through everyone present.
All eyes were immediately focused on the tall, straight imperial sacred tree.
In the spiritual vision, everyone could clearly see that the pitch-black mist was spreading over the crown of the sacred tree.
Luo Shu quietly opened his spiritual perspective and saw that the flames on everyone's shoulders and heads, representing their spirit, energy and vitality, slowly began to tremble.
——The Abyss has arrived.
Chapter 141 When the Platycodon Flowers Bloom
"Please speed up and prepare your emergency escape devices. The abyss will only last five minutes. Touching the trunk of the sacred tree will trigger the entrance transmission."
Listening to Chikichi Ogiwara's repeated voice on the loudspeaker, Luo Shu turned his head and said to Chizuki Nishiki and Takina Inoue who were carrying a silver metal box:
"Is everything ready?"
"The 'lock' is already hidden."
Nishiki Chitsugu nodded when he heard the question, but couldn't help but complain:
"But then again, the safety of the emergency release device is still not good. The lock has to be hidden in advance and placed in an open area. If someone finds it and takes the lock a kilometer away from the entrance, they won't be able to get it back."
"Really? The Research Department doesn't know how to make it more convenient."
"Okay, Chitose, stop complaining. Having a disengagement device is better than having nothing."
Inoue Takina said something to Nishiki Chitsuka, then turned her head to look in the direction of the sacred tree.
When she saw Jinguji Jiuhuicheng disappear directly after touching the sacred tree, her eyes became more serious and she said to Luo Shu:
"Lord Luo Shu, this abyss is not the type that can be entered collectively like the last entrance."
Hearing Inoue Takina say this, Luo Shu remembered the abyss that sealed Kisara at that time.
That is the sealing place specially used to seal Mu Geng, and it is only open at specific times. However, because of the harsh conditions, people can pass through it freely without using the emergency escape device.
"Perhaps even if we enter at the same time, we will be separated later. Just in case, you should hide the signal device on your body and take this with you."
As he spoke, Luo Shu handed a silver bracelet to each of Nishiki Chitsuko and Inoue Takina.
"Eh? Giri bracelet?"
"A new type of signal device?"
Nishiki Chitsuka and Inoue Takina each asked a question.
At this time, Luo Shu and Inoue Takina both looked at Nishiki Chitsugu, their faces full of speechlessness.
They understand giri chocolate, but what the hell is a giri bracelet? Is there such a thing?
"Ahaha! After all, it's something that can save your life, right? Then I won't be polite."
Jinmu Chitsuka smiled innocently and took the bracelet handed over by Luo Shu. Seeing this, Inoue Takina sighed and also took the bracelet.
Watching the two people putting on the bracelets, Luo Shu patted their shoulders and said:
"Go ahead. Don't worry about the damage to the 'Demon God'. If you encounter force majeure, just bring back the test data. I will explain the rest to the research department."
Hearing this, Inoue Takina and Nishiki Chitsuka nodded, and walked towards the sacred tree carrying the silver metal box.
When the two of them entered the abyss, Luo Shu looked around.
Because the abyss was open for a short time and the group of people were in a hurry, the locks were not placed far away. They quickly returned to the scene and entered the abyss through the sacred tree.
Among these people, Luo Shu actually has the least experience in abyss exploration, but he is also the person with the highest status in this operation.
This embarrassing situation made Luo Shu wait until the last minute before setting off, in order to avoid being discovered that he was a rookie.
"It's only been a short time, and I already have an idol burden? This is really funny."
