Now, Dou Tang has once again refreshed Taira no Masakado's understanding, telling him that this Mr. Ren also possesses immense power.
Dou Tang's speed increased, and a large amount of black mist leaked from his long sleeves, spreading across the bridge surface as he moved. Countless pale red resentments were dissipated with crackling sounds, while Taira no Masakado was trapped in the circle drawn by Dou Tang with black mist.
Enraged, Taira no Masakado swung his hand and slashed horizontally, cutting through the threads of black mist. Then he roared, "Face me! Mr. Ren! Don't run around like a rat!"
"As you wish! Here you go!"
The black mist in front of him churned, and almost the instant after Taira no Masakado spoke, he heard a sword cry. At the same time, a gleaming blade thrust towards Taira no Masakado!
Ping Jiangmen was immediately alarmed. He stomped his feet on the ground, bent backward, and raised his sword to block Dou Tang's attack.
A sneer escaped Dou Tang's lips. He took two steps back disdainfully and said, "Is that all? You've even reached the second stage, yet you still look like a defeated opponent."
Taira no Masakado regained his footing and finally began to accept the fact that he had lost twice in a row.
There is no doubt that I underestimated my opponent and was careless.
To this day, Taira no Masakado is unsure whether Toudou has actually used his crown ability, but if this person, who is currently able to suppress Taira no Masakado in every aspect, has not used the crown...
Doesn't that mean I'm probably even worse than buttercup?
Taira no Masakado's expression suddenly turned strange, and then he abruptly took two steps back, causing Tou Tang to tense up again and grip his longsword tightly.
Taira no Masakado gritted his teeth, finally glaring angrily at Dou Tang, and raised his long sword once more!
"boom!!"
Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky!
Ping Jiangmen and Dou Tang looked towards the direction of the Xinchuan Sewage Treatment Plant and were shocked to find that a floor inside the plant had suddenly exploded and was now engulfed in flames.
The fire was spreading rapidly and was extremely fierce.
Taira no Masakado turned around in disbelief and angrily shouted, "Despicable! You actually launched a sneak attack!?"
Dou Tang looked completely bewildered, with an expression that said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Without further hesitation, Taira no Masakado, seemingly very concerned about the Shinchuan sewage treatment plant, turned and ran off into the distance.
Dou Tang panicked immediately. The fight was in full swing; how could he let Taira no Masakado escape? He had a premonition that if he pushed Taira no Masakado any further, Taira no Masakado's fighting strength would continue to rise.
Taira no Masakado didn't even ride in the palanquin; he simply strode forward, his feet pounding the ground. The monsters on both banks also rushed towards the Shinchuan sewage treatment plant.
Dou Tang dared not lag behind and followed directly, waving to signal the people behind him to follow.
Taira no Masakado ran at an extremely fast speed, or perhaps it was as if there was something he cherished in the Shinkawa wastewater treatment plant.
Dou Tang slowed down slightly and let Ping Jiangmen go.
The exorcists caught up, and the leader, Aida Gaku, shouted, "Mr. Ren, what do we do next?!"
Dou Tang waved his hand, drew his long sword from his waist, and said, "Press the attack while the enemy is winning!"
Seeing Taira no Masakado flee in disarray, the exorcists were greatly encouraged. Dou Tang clearly gained the upper hand in the one-on-one duel, and the exorcists cheered loudly, shouting as they rushed to the other side of the bridge.
Chapter 105 The Girl's Shit-Bombing Plan
Seeing this, Dou Tang said to Hui Tianyue, somewhat speechless, "Have these people taken the wrong medicine?"
Aida Gaku coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Mr. Ren probably can't understand the feeling of a myth or legend being shattered in front of you."
As a person temporarily borrowing a body, Tou-tang naturally couldn't understand.
But regardless
Well, it's a good thing that this group of people are motivated.
………………
Time goes back to 45 minutes ago.
In the midst of the duel, no one noticed what was about to happen.
On the street outside the isolation zone east of the Xinchuan Wastewater Treatment Plant, two girls wearing sports protective plastic armor sneaked into an alley and found a square-shaped manhole cover that looked a bit strange.
The two girls were none other than Ringo Shinzen and Kaine Kiryu.
Huaiyin looked at the map on her phone and nodded, saying, "That's right, Sister Ringo. The words 'sewage' are written on the manhole covers here. It should be the underground reserved passage for the Xinchuan Sewage Treatment Plant."
The two girls took out two gas masks, each with a filter canister and an vent, from their backpacks, put them on, and then pulled up their hats and tied the edges tightly. With weapons on their backs and full protective gear, they looked like people who had just come from some apocalyptic world.
"Ringo-neechan, let's begin." Huaiyin's voice sounded somewhat muffled because of the mask.
Ringo Shinzen nodded, took out her flashlight, turned it on, then grabbed the hole in the manhole cover and pulled it upwards with force. The maintenance passage, which was frequently used for repairs, opened easily.
The flashlight beam shone downwards, revealing a steel ladder in front of you. Climbing down the ladder for two or three meters would take you to the bottom.
Because they had put on gas masks beforehand, the two did not smell any strange odor. They exchanged glances, and Ringo was the first to step onto the ladder and begin to slowly climb down, with Ayane following closely behind.
The two went down to the ground and took out flashlights to look around.
The two were standing on a pedestrian path that was clearly elevated above the waterway. The path was not wide, but it was definitely wide enough for people to walk on. To their right was a ditch, which was not full at the moment.
Although the entire maintenance pipeline was very humid and stuffy, fortunately the odor was not too strong, and there was nothing unacceptable like feces floating on the water that the two had imagined.
"Looks like we're in luck," Huaiyin said.
“It’s not that we’re lucky, but that the Shinkawa Wastewater Treatment Plant hasn’t fulfilled its responsibilities during this period.” Ringo Shinzen frowned, clearly worried. “The Shinkawa Wastewater Treatment Plant’s main job is to discharge domestic wastewater into the sea through Shinkawa, but if this work is halted because of the influence of the youkai… wouldn’t all the domestic wastewater that has accumulated over such a long time just be piling up inside the wastewater treatment plant?”
Huaiyin sharply retorted, "I get it, those monsters sleep on mountains of poop with tons of dung."
Hearing Huaiyin say such an outrageous thing in a serious tone, Shinzen Ringo burst out laughing and said, "Your way of putting it is too weird! It's a little disgusting!"
“But I’m telling the truth, right?” Huai Music chuckled.
"Yes, what you said is true, and that raises a question... The septic tanks at the Xinchuan Wastewater Treatment Plant must be under a lot of pressure right now, right?"
Huaiyin's expression changed.
"Ringo-neechan, please tell me, it's not what I think."
Ringo Shinzen gave an awkward smile, though neither of them could see it.
"It's exactly what you think."
Following the GPS signal map, the two walked for about three kilometers and finally arrived at the Xinchuan Sewage Treatment Plant.
Before them appeared the entrance to a stairwell, which was about a meter higher than the surface of the pool, and they had to climb a few steps to get there.
Ringo walked up the steps and stood in front of the door. She took out a map and looked at it. Huaiyin curiously leaned over and looked at the map for a while. They confirmed that they were currently in one of the sewage treatment pipes directly below the Xinchuan Sewage Treatment Plant.
"This is it... We might encounter some monsters soon, so Huaiyin, you'd better stick close to me!"
Huaiyin gave an OK sign, indicating that she would behave.
Ringo Shinzen took a deep breath and slowly opened the door beside her. In her other hand, besides the flashlight, she was also clutching a stack of talismans.
What came into view was an unremarkable motor room. The two motors were out of service, and there wasn't even a light on in the room, making the two motors with their circular structures look like two enormous snails.
The two of them carefully looked around the area with flashlights, but found no people or monsters.
"Strange, why is no one here?" Ringo Kamisaki muttered to herself.
"Wouldn't it be better if no one was around? Let's hurry up and find somewhere we can cause trouble!"
Ringo Shinzen nodded, and led Ayane through the door to the generator room into the corridor.
As soon as they entered the corridor, they were both speechless.
A few lights were scattered throughout the corridor, while the rest had been brutally destroyed.
The corridor itself was even more terrifying, with all sorts of bloodstains on the walls and floor, and bloody handprints that had been dragged far down the walls. It didn't look like a sewage treatment plant; instead, it was a haunted house that had been overdone.
Ringo Shinzen removed her mask, sniffed, and frowned, saying, "The smell of fresh blood...it's disgusting."
Huaiyin then drew the sword from his back, twirled it, and said, "It seems those monsters here... have done some very inhumane things."
"That's right... let's keep moving forward."
The two girls walked slowly down the dimly lit corridor, which was stained with blood, and finally came to a relatively wide area.
The vast factory was filled with pipes and giant canisters that they couldn't understand.
What's eerie is that there's still no one here. Although you can see traces of monsters living on the ground and pipes, you still can't see anything.
After confirming that it was safe, Ringo Shinzen compared the map again and said with a happy expression, "I've got it, Sister Huaiyin. The main control room is just one floor above here. From the main control room, we can control the status of each sewage treatment unit, which is equivalent to getting this place back to work."
"Or... stir up some trouble," Huaiyin suggested.
Ringo Shinzen nodded excitedly: "That's right...we can do something really big!"
The two went upstairs along the stairwell and arrived at the main control room, where they could control the entire sewage treatment plant via a monitoring screen.
The control room was also a mess, it seemed that the monsters had not spared this place either. Huaiyin found half a sleeve that was stained with blood and wrapped with rotting flesh, which gave her a glimpse into the fate of the original workers here.
After a brief search, Ringo Shinzen found... the control panel of the biogas digester.
Looking at the control panel of the biogas digester in front of her, Ringo Shinsaki's expression was somewhat strange.
"Uh... Sister Huaiyin, look here."
Huaiyin threw down his sleeves and peeked out, only to see that the control panel of the biogas digester was all red, with each one reporting an error, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to it.
“Biogas digester…” Huaiyin muttered, her expression gradually becoming strange.
The two women exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other's emotions and what the other wanted to say, but hesitated because of their pride.
After all, if I were to reveal that decision... it would be very embarrassing if others found out.
If someone were to ask, "How did you manage to completely transform the Xinchuan Wastewater Treatment Plant to gain an advantage for your relatives and allies outside?"
How should I answer? Should I say I'll blow up shit...?
Isn't a biogas digester that's close to overloaded the perfect material for causing trouble?
But having two adorable girls do this seems a bit...
The two were stunned for a while, and finally, Ringo gritted her teeth and said, "Right now, the most convenient and quickest option, and the one that is directly in front of us, is this one!"
"Pressure the biogas digester, then select internal combustion..."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyin pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Indeed, bringing a gas mask was the right choice."
"……You're right."
Chapter 106 The Last General
Tokyo's sewage treatment policy is rather primitive because this coastal city has never had any worries about domestic wastewater; it simply treats the floating debris and discharges it into Tokyo Bay.
In 1945, Tokyo had a population of 350 million, but by 2020, it had reached a staggering 1400 million. With such a massive population and extremely valuable land, Tokyo could no longer afford large-scale water system reforms.
Note that this is only the population of Tokyo. In fact, the population of the entire Tokyo metropolitan area reached a staggering 3700 million in 2016. In 2020, when Doutang is in the world, with the addition of various undocumented immigrants and other factors, the population may have reached 4000 million.
The wastewater from these people's daily lives is mostly discharged into Tokyo Bay.
Tokyo Bay has suffered too much.jpg
However, those are not things to consider now. As the sewage treatment plant closest to the estuary in Edogawa Ward, the Shinkawa Sewage Treatment Plant undertakes most of the domestic wastewater treatment. It has also been testing the latest biogas power generation equipment to process domestic wastewater into electricity. However, due to technical reasons, the biogas power generation chamber needs to be regularly discharged and replaced.
There are many ways a biogas digester can explode, the most common being internal suction. This occurs when an open flame appears during the discharge of the digester's contents. The flame travels through the gas channels created by the internal pressure of the digester and enters the digester, causing an explosion.
The two girls knew the principle, but how should they ignite the flame?
If you get too close, not only will it smell terrible, but being too close to the explosion's epicenter could lead to serious consequences.
Huaiyin asked, "Ringo-neechan, do you have any shikigami or anything like that? The kind that can be controlled remotely."
Ringo Kami-chan shook her head, looking troubled, and said, "Our family doesn't belong to the school of thought that focuses on controlling shikigami in battle..."
Huaiyin frowned and thought for a moment. Although she had some clones of candy beans with her, the appearance of candy bean people here would undoubtedly arouse suspicion. Shinsen Ringo probably didn't know that Dou Tang could transform into candy bean people. What should she do now...?
In fact, apart from a few people like Aida Gaku and Ejima Iya, even Kousaki Ryuuyu and the exorcists who fought alongside Tou-Tang were unaware that Fall Guy was Tou-Tang.
If he uses the clone Bean, even if it doesn't reveal that Dou Tang is a Bean Man, it's still impossible to explain...
Just as Huaiyin was worrying, Shinzen Ringo, who was standing to the side, had already begun to observe the various cameras. She was still a little puzzled as to why there was no one here.
There are many cameras in the entire sewage treatment plant, but even after she went through most of them, she still couldn't find anyone.
"Strange... If they go to fight to the death, will not a single person be left behind?"
She kept searching, and finally her eyes lit up when she discovered something strange in the camera footage.
screen.
It was a camera in the clerical office area, and in the camera's view, a bizarre monster was kneeling before a ball of light.
Ringo Shinzen zoomed in on the screen until it filled the entire frame, her eyes wide with surprise.
