21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 691 - 687: Blocking the Way (Please subscribe, seeking monthly tickets)

Kohinata Kaori, who was sitting next to her, was equally astounded, and the two of them started a heated discussion about the topic. They proposed several conspiracy theories, not realizing their far-fetched speculations were actually quite close to reality.

While Minami and Kohinata Kaori were making wild guesses, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu noticed what appeared to be a car accident ahead on the road.

The car accident was not severe, but the parties involved seemed to have gotten into an argument, and one of the cars, apparently carrying fruit, was either hit or not properly secured in the first place, leading to its cargo being scattered all over the ground. The driver was now grabbing the other party, demanding compensation.

Seeing this, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu frowned slightly and turned the car around to take another route, but upon doing so realized that another road was closed due to sewer maintenance work.

"Sorry, we are currently doing maintenance on the underground pipes, please go another way," said the maintenance worker who knocked on the window. However, as he spoke, both Kojo Kyoko and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu noticed he surreptitiously glanced inside the car. When he saw Minami, his pupils noticeably contracted.

Kojo Kyoko and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu subtly exchanged looks, seeing the same expression in each other's eyes.

The subtle change in the other party did not escape the perception of the two who were now Sub-Legendary Transcendents. They also understood that the purpose of both the car accident and the sewer maintenance was to stop them from moving forward, or rather, to make them take a detour.

What especially surprised both of them was that these arrangements were clearly not the work of ordinary people or some third-rate gangs. The arguing drivers at the street corner and the workers maintaining the sewer both possessed a disciplined air about them, indicating they had at least undergone military training, and were certainly not ordinary individuals.

Moreover, in the open sewer below, they sensed the presence of other Transcendents.

Having Transcendents hidden in the sewer was clearly a precautionary measure, but there were not many powers in Tokyo capable of exerting such influence. It was either the government or several long-standing Transcendent organizations.

Kojo Kyoko was engrossed in her swordsmanship and didn't really have an opinion on this matter, but Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu speculated that these people were most likely government operatives.

Regarding the purpose of their actions, recalling the instructions he had received before coming here, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu had a clear understanding. Although he did not know what Chen Yu was planning to do, since his master had already given the directive, he, as a subordinate, had no choice but to act according to the orders.

Without changing his expression, he thanked the worker by the car window and reversed the vehicle. Looking at the intersection that was beginning to congest, he appeared to be negligently tapping the steering wheel, seeking a place to turn around. In reality, however, he was surreptitiously making hand signs and stealthily using a spell to put Minami and Kohinata Kaori, sitting in the back seat, into a deep sleep.

Kojo Kyoko noticed Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu's actions but did not stop him. After sensing that the two in the back seat had fallen asleep due to Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu's spell, she finally asked him, "Yoshiharu-kun, what exactly is going on?"

"The master's mission," Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu explained, "only stated that I must ensure you and these two people are delivered to the base of the Tokyo Skytree without delay, and nothing else." He continued, "Now, it seems that indeed there are people trying to prevent you from reaching the Tokyo Skytree. Although I don't know what the master is planning, since he has assigned the mission, all I can do is to endeavor to complete it."

Kojo Kyoko looked at Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, said nothing more, just gripped her Sword Bag tighter, and asked, "So what do you plan to do now?"

"If the conventional route is blocked, of course, we have to resort to unconventional means. Before coming here, the master advised that if the road was blocked, we could make a detour through the Meiji Shrine." Having said that, Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu turned the steering wheel and drove in the direction of the Meiji Shrine.

Those blocking the car watched Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu turn around and leave, and naturally, they reported the situation here to their superiors.

Knowing that Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu had turned around towards the Meiji Shrine made Kusanagi Ritsuko extremely anxious and uncertain. The Meiji Shrine was no ordinary place. Could it be that the Ghoul gods guarding Tokyo were also involved in this matter?

Considering Chen Yu was a Demigod and familiar with the Inari God, it wouldn't be strange for the two Ghouls of the Meiji Shrine to assist upon his request. With this thought, Kusanagi Ritsuko also made her decision.

"Find a way to determine their route and try to stop them outside the Jingu as much as possible. Do not take action inside the Jingu." Having issued the command, Kusanagi Ritsuko took out her phone and sent over Minami's location.
