Half an hour later, Masuyama Kensan, who had been fed chocolate, confessed his crimes in the interrogation room.
From minor incidents like peeping at girls showering in his childhood to major crimes involving the Black Organization, he spilled everything.
"Alright."
Sato Miwako didn't want to hear any of it.
She waved her hand and said: "I want to know about the Black Organization's recent activities. Have they contacted you?"
"Yes."
Masuyama Kensan's expression was vacant as he said: "They asked me to build a large hydroelectric power plant in the Tamagawa region under the name of the Mitsubishi Group."
"Is there water there?"
Sato Miwako was taken aback, wondering if her geography was failing her.
"Yes."
"The Tamagawa area has a dense network of waterways, one of which even flows through Mount Fuji."
Masuyama Kensan continued to answer mechanically.
Having received the crucial information, Sato Miwako rushed out of the interrogation room, excitedly reporting to Kuroda Heibei:
"Chief, we have a lead."
...
Rumble!!
Since it was April, Tokyo's weather was always fickle. It was sunny before, but now it was raining.
Near the Tamagawa River, workers wearing black raincoats continued to work under the torrential rain.
The roar of the excavator could be heard even from miles away.
"Iida."
One worker shouted: "There's no profit to be made building a hydroelectric power plant here. What are these bosses thinking?"
"Who knows?"
Another worker shrugged: "Whatever, they're paying us good money, so we just keep digging."
"That's true."
Their conversation was drowned out by the roar of the machinery.
Inside a large temporary tent, Vermouth sat at a table with her legs crossed, holding a slender cigarette in her hand.
"Pfft."
Looking at the cold-faced man across from her, Vermouth blew a smoke ring towards him, her red lips slightly curling as she said: "Gin, I heard you received the favor of the Oniwaban, how enviable."
"You better not talk to me in that tone."
Gin gave her a cold look, closed his eyes, and continued to study the Armament Haki within him.
He found that since acquiring this energy, his appetite had increased significantly, forcing him to carry some compressed energy bars to constantly replenish his energy.
Moreover, through training, this energy could also be strengthened, covering a wider area of his body.
"Is this body forging?"
Gin had gradually come to enjoy this feeling of growing stronger.
Besides killing and smoking, he now had a third hobby.
"Boring man."
Seeing that he wasn't paying any attention to her, Vermouth snorted, turning away and walking out of the tent without looking back.
Rumble!!
The rain in the sky grew heavier, and lightning occasionally flashed through the clouds.
Vermouth opened a black umbrella, stood in the rain, gazing at the roaring and vibrating construction site in the distance, sensing that danger was approaching.
This was her sixth sense, and it was usually accurate.
"What is Oniwaban trying to do?"
Vermouth couldn't understand the actions of this Oni.
Before, they were ordered to go to the sea east of Honshu Island in Japan to find the remains of Yamata no Orochi.
Now they were brought to the Tamagawa area to find an underground river called Akagi River.
This Oni was truly unfathomable.
"We found it! We found it!!"
At this moment, several workers at the construction site shouted, "Red water is flowing out from the rock layer, this is the Akagi River."
"Red water?"
Vermouth took a step closer.
Sure enough, beneath the rock layer excavated by the excavator, red water was gushing out, the color deep like blood.
"Could it be..."
Vermouth looked towards Mount Fuji in the distance.
"The plan is about to begin."
Gin also walked out of the tent at this time.
He stared at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and dialed a phone call: "Vodka, bring the crane over."
"Yes, Boss."
On the other end of the phone, Vodka's voice was loud, driving the crane slowly towards the construction site.
On the crane, there was a large glass water tank suspended.
"What are you guys trying to do?!"
Vermouth couldn't hold back anymore.
"This plan was personally arranged by the Oniwaban. Only I and the Boss know about it."
Gin gave Vermouth a faint glance, implying that she wasn't qualified to know.
(╬￣皿￣)
"This damn man..."
Vermouth gritted her teeth in anger and turned to leave, but she returned in no time.
Because at this moment, Gin took out the Yasakani no Magatama, the artifact he had fought hard to acquire.
Then, without hesitation, he threw it into the water tank.
"Are you crazy?!"
Vermouth's face was full of disbelief.
This artifact, said to have the power to bring the dead back to life, had a price on the black market that exceeded 100 million dollars.
Gin just threw it away?
"This is also part of the plan."
Gin didn't explain, but simply pulled out his gun, pointed it at the huge water tank placed at the construction site, and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang—
The bullets pierced through the special glass, and the water in the tank, imbued with the aura of the Yasakani no Magatama, flowed out, seeping into the ground little by little.
Finally, following the crack created by the workers, it entered the Akagi River.
This underground river was formed by the confluence of two streams.
One was the hot water flowing into Mount Fuji, heated by the magma, and the other was cold groundwater. When the hot and cold water mixed, it would make a huge sound, like thunder exploding, so this place was also known as Thunder Valley.
In Japanese ancient texts, Susanoo killed Yamata no Orochi here.
Rumble!!
At this time, as the water in the tank gradually decreased, the ground began to tremble slightly.
The workers at the construction site could clearly feel that something terrifying was approaching rapidly.
"Retreat!"
Seeing this, Gin didn't hesitate, leading the Black Organization members to evacuate quickly.
