Chapter 361: Ryouta is Besieged by Low-Level Hollows
At this time they were on the surface. Unlike the outer areas, there were not only low-level Hollows on the surface, but also some high-level Hollows that had not yet fully evolved.
Ryouta always felt as if he was being attracted by something. The Hollows around him began to increase in number and slowly moved toward him.
If there were only a few low-level Hollows, it wouldn't be difficult for him at all. But at this time, there were more and more Hollows around, and Ryouta knew that he couldn't defeat these guys, so he could only turn around and run back in the direction he had just come from.
Ryouta ran away, and these Hollows chased him madly from behind. He shouted as he ran, "Come and save me quickly, I'm being chased by Hollows!"
The companions not far away soon heard Ryouta's cry for help. Raymond looked at Uehara Shiroha with a puzzled expression, while Uehara Shiroha smiled calmly.
"I said this guy can't get far. Get ready to rescue him."
Then several people stood up and headed toward Ryouta. At this time, they saw him running madly in front, with a group of low-level Hollows chasing him from behind.
The strength of these low-level Hollows wasn't very strong, but there were too many of them. Ryouta couldn't handle them alone, but if all of them worked together, there would definitely be no problem.
Uehara Shiroha took the lead and rushed to the front, holding the Soul Slayer in his hand and started to chop left and right, and soon he cooperated with everyone to eliminate this group of low-level Hollows.
When he turned around and looked at Ryouta, he was still in shock and kept patting his chest with his hands.
Chiakura walked to the side of Uehara Shiroha and asked him curiously, "Normally there aren't that many Hollows on the surface. How did you know that Ryouta would come back?"
Uehara Shiroha replied in a low voice, "Because I sprinkled some powder on his back to attract these Hollows. The smell is quite attractive to them. It wouldn't be long before these Hollows would drive him back."
Chiakura couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Seeing the two people whispering and talking and laughing in the distance, Ryouta realized that something was wrong and stood up to question Uehara Shiroha.
"Did you play some trick on me? Why did these Hollows chase me and try to bite me when I just walked a short distance?"
Uehara Shiroha sneered, "You are such an ungrateful person. We just rescued you from these monsters and now you turn around and blame me. These low-level Hollows will naturally look for food to devour in order to complete their evolution. You are of course food in their eyes. Do they have any other reason to chase you?"
Ryouta was speechless, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Although Raymond didn't know what means Uehara Shiroha used, after seeing the scene in front of him, he probably had an idea in his mind, so he had to step forward to smooth things over. "Forget it, forget it. Now that everything has passed and everyone is fortunately safe and sound, what are your plans for the future? Are you still planning to leave?"
Now Ryouta was a little hesitant. Although he still wanted to leave this group of people, when he saw the smug expressions on the faces of Uehara Shiroha and others, he wasn't sure if he could leave safely.
If he insisted on leaving at this time, the same situation might happen again. He would be attacked by Hollows right after he left.
Chapter 362: Ryouta Returns to the Team Again
He was lucky this time and didn't walk very far, so he was rescued by everyone. He didn't know what would happen next time.
Ryouta turned around and looked at Uehara Shiroha, then spoke, "I would like to leave, but this guy doesn't seem to be planning on letting me go."
Uehara Shiroha stretched and said with an impatient look on his face, "You're being a little unfair when you say that. I never intended for you to stay. If you want to leave, just go ahead. Stop making so many excuses."
Ryouta wasn't stupid. He knew that this incident wasn't an accident and he didn't dare to take any more risks, so he had to stay. "Forget it, I'll stay with you guys."
Seeing that Ryouta was willing to stay, everyone smiled. Ryouta's character wasn't that good. If they were to choose teammates, no one would be willing to choose him. However, he could definitely play a big role in dealing with the Dawn organization.
So when they learned that Ryouta was willing to stay, everyone had a happy look on their faces.
Then everyone gathered together again, and Uehara Shiroha asked Ryouta, "Since you're willing to stay, then don't just stand there. Tell us what the structure of the Dawn organization is. If we want to defeat them, where should we start?"
Ryouta frowned and asked after hesitating for a long time, "Is this mission really that important to you? I advise you not to provoke the Dawn organization. They're not that easy to mess with."
Uehara Shiroha shook his head helplessly, "Just say what you're told to say. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't want to help, leave as soon as possible."
Ryouta sighed helplessly, then began to introduce the situation of the Dawn organization.
"This Dawn organization was founded by someone called Du'e. They've controlled half of the outer areas since the beginning. At least half of the low-level areas in the outer circle have been captured by them."
Raymond asked in confusion, "They captured these low-level beings only to feed the high-level beings they raised. Why would they want to destroy the barrier between the outer and inner areas now? After the cracks appear, won't the number of low-level beings in the outer areas become fewer and fewer?"
The people around nodded, and it seemed that everyone was very curious about this matter. After all, the Dawn organization treated these low-level Hollows in the outer areas as food. Once the high-level Hollows in the inner areas ran out, it wouldn't take long for them to eat up all the low-level Hollows in the outer areas.
Before Ryouta could answer, Uehara Shiroha spoke up, "This is probably because low-level Hollows can no longer satisfy their appetite. When the Hollows they raised themselves evolved to a certain level, the effect of feeding them low-level Hollows was minimal."
"They put these high-level Hollows in the outer areas, let the high-level Hollows devour the low-level ones, and then catch these evolved high-level Hollows as food. The effect will definitely be doubled."
Ryouta sneered and then spoke, "I can't believe you're quite smart. Although I don't know the specific reason, this is my guess. That's why I suggest you not to provoke them. They may have high-level Hollows who are many times stronger than Quickley. There's no way we can be their opponents with just a few of us."
Chapter 363: Arrived at the Dawn Organization's Territory
After hearing Ryouta's description, Uehara Shiroha also became conflicted. He knew that Ryouta wasn't trying to scare him.
Uehara Shiroha had been captured by the Dawn organization before, and judging from the large number of low-level Hollows they captured, it could be seen that they must have high-level Hollows that were no worse than Quickley.
It was so difficult for them to even deal with Quickley. If Miyamoto and Quickley hadn't killed each other, they would never have been able to take down Quickley.
If you wanted to go against the Dawn organization at this time, you probably couldn't do it by force.
Just as they were discussing, a few people wearing masks came from a distance. These masks looked too familiar to Uehara Shiroha.
These masks were taken from those low-level Hollows, and Uehara Shiroha had seen many such people in the Dawn organization before. It seemed that these people were all from the Dawn organization.
Uehara Shiroha first asked the other companions to calm down, and then quietly observed the few people in the distance.
These people seemed to be coming toward them. Seeing them getting closer and closer, Uehara Shiroha grasped the hilt of the Soul Slayer, ready to attack at any time.
But at this moment, Raymond suddenly grabbed his hand. "Don't be impulsive, try not to conflict with these people, and see what they're here for."
Uehara Shiroha nodded slowly, and soon the group of people walked in front of the crowd.
The masked man standing in the front began to speak, "What are you guys doing? We are in the Dawn organization's territory ahead. Don't go any further, or we'll treat you as enemies."
Uehara Shiroha turned around and looked at his other companions, and they all nodded in tacit understanding. It seemed that these people were patrolling nearby and didn't know them.
Fortunately, they weren't the same group of people who guarded them in the dungeon before. If they recognized them, there would probably be a fierce battle.
Uehara Shiroha walked forward and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, we came here by accident. I've heard of the reputation of the Dawn organization for a long time. I wonder if any of us are qualified to join."
The masked man standing at the front looked carefully at the people in front of him, then spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Just a few of you? You'd better go back to where you came from and stop hanging around here. I may not be so polite to you next time I see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uehara Shiroha suddenly drew out the Soul Slayer in his hand, and a flash of blade light appeared, and the mask on the face of the masked man was directly cut into two pieces.
After the mask fell off, the face revealed underneath surprised everyone present. There was nothing special about this man except for his eyes. His entire face seemed to have traces of being burned by fire. The shape of his facial features was completely unrecognizable and he looked like a monster.
If he hadn't chatted with Uehara Shiroha just now, Uehara Shiroha would have even thought that the guy in front of him was really a monster.
Chiakura was also frightened by the scene before her and grabbed Uehara Shiroha's arm tightly.
This person's reaction was very intense, as if Uehara Shiroha had hit a sore spot. "You're looking for death, right?"
After saying that, several people nearby also rushed up.
Raymond quickly stopped in front of the crowd and spoke, "Everyone, don't be impulsive. We're also members of the Dawn organization. We must not hurt our unity."
Chapter 364: Being Targeted by the Masked Man
After hearing this, the other party looked at the people in front of him with a questioning look. "Who are you trying to fool? You're all so fragile and clean that you've never been through the trials of joining the organization. Take them down for me."
At this time, Uehara Shiroha finally figured it out. It seemed that the faces under each mask were so terrifying. This was also a sign for their Dawn organization to distinguish each other.
Uehara Shiroha stood up and stuck the Soul Slayer into the ground. "Although we're not members of the Dawn organization, we've received a mission from the Dawn organization. This Soul Slayer is the target of our mission. Now that the Soul Slayer has been brought back by us, are you planning to kill us along the way? Do you want to take the Soul Slayer for yourself?"
Uehara Shiroha's words really shocked the people present. After thinking for a long time, the leader said, "Since you're already near the organization, why don't you just go back? What are you doing here loitering? Are you planning to run away?"
Uehara Shiroha smiled, "Look at what you said, if we were going to run, why didn't we run farther away? How could we run to your territory? It's getting dark now. Let's rest and set off again at dawn tomorrow."
The other party slowly walked in front of Uehara Shiroha. The face covered with scars really made Uehara Shiroha feel a little unsettled, but he still pretended to be calm and didn't react at all.
Apart from this pair of sharp eyes, no expression could be seen on the man's face. He approached Uehara Shiroha and spoke, "You better not be lying to us. The Dawn organization is not someone you can afford to offend. I'll escort you to the territory tomorrow morning. Don't play any tricks."
After saying that, the other party left with a few masked men beside him. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pick up the mask that had been broken into two pieces on the ground.
This mask didn't seem to have any special value to them. It just covered up their ugly faces. It was the last fig leaf for these disfigured people.
After the few people left, Raymond immediately turned to Uehara Shiroha and asked, "This is troublesome. If we go in with the Soul Slayer, not only will you lose the Soul Slayer, but our next plan will also be difficult to achieve."
Ryouta said sarcastically, "This Soul Slayer didn't belong to him in the first place, so it's normal for it to go back. Are you all going to risk your lives for his selfish interests? If it were me, Uehara Shiroha, you should just hand over the Soul Slayer."
Ryouta was obviously making sarcastic remarks here. After all, the Soul Slayer wasn't in his hands, and the most important thing was to ensure his own safety.
Uehara Shiroha spoke slowly, "If handing over the Soul Slayer can really buy everyone's safety, I would never hesitate, but do you really think the Dawn organization will spare us? Even if we hand over the Soul Slayer, I don't think they'll let us go."
"From their perspective, the fact that we've united together to turn the Sirius organization upside down shows that we're very powerful. If they let these high-level Hollows devour the rest of us, they'll be able to complete another evolution."
Chapter 365: If the Cracks Are Not Repaired, Chaos Will Come
Uehara Shiroha's analysis made everyone start to hesitate. Even Ryouta who had just stood up to refute fell silent and didn't dare to say anything more.
Raymond asked, "If you say so, we can't go back, but these guys are watching us not far away."
After saying that, Raymond turned his head and looked into the distance. The masked men were staring at them not far away and hadn't left.
Uehara Shiroha answered, "Don't worry about that. These guys are no match for us. It's not impossible for us to run away if we really want to. But there's still a problem that hasn't been solved. If we leave, the cracks may never be repaired."
Ryouta wasn't tasked with repairing the cracks, so he was the first one to stand up and refute Uehara Shiroha. "It's just a trivial task. At worst, we can just give up on it. I'm really curious about what your mission reward is. It's enough to make you work so hard."
Uehara Shiroha sneered, "This isn't just a matter of completing the mission. If the cracks aren't repaired, Hueco Mundo will be in chaos. These high-level Hollows keep rushing into the outer areas and devouring all the low-level Hollows. It won't be long before all the low-level Hollows are extinct."
"This may seem like a good thing, but it actually makes Hueco Mundo lose its balance. I'm afraid we won't be able to come here anymore."
After hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, everyone thought carefully. The reason why Hueco Mundo was able to achieve balance in the past was that the inner and outer areas were clearly divided.
Low-level and high-level Hollows were each in their own territories, with little intersection between them, and the evolution of high-level Hollows wasn't particularly fast.
Now that the cracks had appeared, the balance of Hueco Mundo had been destroyed in an instant. This time, Uehara Shiroha wasn't only completing his own mission, but also considering the long-term future.
Ryouta said with disdain, "After talking for so long, why don't you come up with a solution? Isn't there still no answer?"
Uehara Shiroha frowned and thought carefully, then spoke, "If we want to solve the problem, we must first infiltrate the Dawn organization. It seems that we can only use their own methods against them."
The people around him didn't seem to understand what Uehara Shiroha meant, so he continued to explain, "In my opinion, they won't let us go after getting the Soul Slayer. They'll definitely find a way to imprison us again. Although we'll be arrested, at least we'll have penetrated into the Dawn organization. Once we're inside, we can find a way to solve the problem ourselves."
The meaning of Uehara Shiroha's words was very clear—he was willing to hand over the Soul Slayer. Although Uehara Shiroha was somewhat reluctant, there was no other way to infiltrate the Dawn organization except this method.
Several masked men not far away were staring at them. Tomorrow morning they would swagger into the territory of the Dawn organization, and this Soul Slayer would definitely not be hidden.
Uehara Shiroha continued, "This mission still has certain risks. If you don't want to continue the mission, you can choose to quit now. The poison in your bodies has now been removed. You can leave at any time if you want. I won't stop you."
Chapter 366: Picking Up a Broken Mask
The people nearby looked at each other, and no one had any intention of leaving, except Ryouta who stood up. "You said that yourself. I won't accompany you anymore. Go and die on your own."
Just as Ryouta took a few steps forward, Uehara Shiroha drew out his Soul Slayer and slashed over. A stream of sword energy hit directly in front of Ryouta, scaring him so much that he retreated repeatedly.
"What are you doing? Didn't you just say that? If you don't want to participate, you can quit. Can't I choose to quit now?"
Uehara Shiroha smiled coldly, "Everyone can quit, except you. You're the only one who knows the Dawn organization best. If you leave, how can we escape alive?"
Ryouta gritted his teeth and wanted to continue to refute, but after looking at the Soul Slayer in Uehara Shiroha's hand, he swallowed his words back.
He knew very well in his heart that if he insisted on leaving at this time, Uehara Shiroha definitely wouldn't let him go easily.
So this trip to the Dawn organization was full of difficulties, and there was a possibility of losing one's life, but it was better than being killed by Uehara Shiroha with a single sword.
Then everyone discussed it carefully and decided that the masked men outside might become their breakthrough point.
When the sky was just getting light, several masked men in the distance walked toward Uehara Shiroha. The man whose mask was broken by Uehara Shiroha last night had already put on a new mask and walked forward, saying, "It's already daybreak, so stop wasting time and get on the road."
Everyone stood up and followed the masked man.
While walking toward the Dawn organization's territory, Uehara Shiroha accidentally caught a glimpse of a broken mask left aside and picked it up.
This was the mask that Uehara Shiroha had cut off yesterday. Although it was taken away by the masked man, he had now changed into a brand new mask, so he naturally threw away the broken one.
The broken mask was of no use to him, but to Uehara Shiroha, this thing could definitely be of great help.
Under the watchful eyes of several masked men, they swaggered into the territory of the Dawn organization, and were soon taken away.
Several people were blindfolded and taken to a hall. After the cloth strips in front of their eyes were removed, a person was standing in front of them.
This man was wearing purple clothes and no mask on his face. He looked no different from an ordinary person, forming a sharp contrast with the masked members of the organization next to him.
Uehara Shiroha thought about it carefully. If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be the Du'e mentioned by Ryouta.
The man walked forward and carefully examined Uehara Shiroha in front of him, and then his eyes quickly fell on the Soul Slayer.
Then he stretched out his hand toward Uehara Shiroha.
Uehara Shiroha took the Soul Slayer off his back and handed it to the other party, then the man spoke, "Well done. Let me introduce myself. I am the president of this organization. You're not members of our organization. Just call me Du'e."
Uehara Shiroha didn't say much, and then Du'e took the Soul Slayer in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Slowly, a smile appeared on Du'e's face, and he said to himself, "It really is a divine weapon. If I have it, it won't be long before I can rule Hueco Mundo."
Du'e's eyes were filled with greed.
Chapter 367: Everything is as Expected
At this time, Uehara Shiroha spoke, "Since the things have been returned to you, can you let us go?"
Du'e was immersed in joy when he was suddenly interrupted by Uehara Shiroha's words. His expression instantly became serious. "Oh, by the way, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it. Someone, bring the antidote to them."
Hearing what the other party said, Ryouta whispered to the others beside him, "I think Uehara Shiroha is just being paranoid and judging others by his own standards. He has no intention of doing anything to us at all."
Uehara Shiroha sneered and said nothing. He always believed that this matter wasn't that simple.
Then several masked men walked out from the side and gave antidotes to several people. Since Uehara Shiroha and others had already been detoxified in advance, there was no special reaction after taking the antidote. Uehara Shiroha continued to ask, "The mission has been accomplished, and the Soul Slayer is in your hands. Now I hope you can let us go."
Du'e's mouth tilted slightly and he spoke, "You're in such a hurry to leave? Don't be in such a hurry. The matter isn't over yet."
Then several masked men nearby came forward, picked up Uehara Shiroha and others, and took them out together. This time, everyone was blindfolded again, as if they didn't want them to know the entire terrain of the Dawn organization.
Ryouta kept shouting when he was taken away, "You guys don't keep your word. Didn't you say you would let us go once we got the things back? What are you trying to do now?"
But at this time, Uehara Shiroha was unusually calm, because all this was already within his expectations—he knew that these people wouldn't let them go so easily.
Uehara Shiroha tried his best to calm himself down and listened quietly to the sounds around him. Through the sounds of the surrounding environment, he could roughly know the direction they were going and how many turns they had made.
After hearing the sound of the iron door being opened, Uehara Shiroha was basically certain that they had been taken to the prison warehouse again.
When the blindfolds were taken off again, the surrounding situation was so familiar. They were indeed brought here again. But unlike the last time, this time they weren't locked up separately, but were directly put into a cell.
Ryouta kept grabbing the cell door and shouting at the people outside, "What do you mean? You already got the Soul Slayer, why don't you let us go? What do you want to do?"
The masked men outside seemed not to have heard what they said, and continued to lock the cell, then turned around and left.
After seeing these people leave, Ryouta turned around and questioned Uehara Shiroha, "Are you mute? These people aren't keeping their word. Why are you standing there without saying a word? We all followed you here. What should we do in this situation?"
Uehara Shiroha shrugged and said indifferently, "Didn't I make it clear to you before I came here? These guys won't let us go easily, so all this was already within my expectations."
Ryouta was stamping his feet anxiously, "Then you should think of a solution. I don't want to be eaten by Hollows. You might as well kill me with one knife."
Chapter 368: Ryouta was Severely Injured
Uehara Shiroha slowly approached Ryouta and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure? If you have this idea, then I'll take action."
After hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, Ryouta immediately became timid and didn't dare to say anything else.
Raymond, who had been silent at this time, finally stepped forward and spoke, "Don't scare him. Seriously, what should we do now?"
Uehara Shiroha frowned and thought carefully, then spoke, "It's not difficult to blend in with them. The key issue now is how do we get out of this place."
Ryouta sneered, "What nonsense! If we had a way to get out, would we still be asking you? We would have gotten out long ago."
Uehara Shiroha turned his head and glared at Ryouta, who quickly closed his mouth. Then Uehara Shiroha took out the mask he had picked up from the ground.
Uehara Shiroha put the two pieces of the mask together to form a complete mask face. "Although I've cut this thing into pieces, it can still be used if it's put together. With this thing, we can blend in."
Raymond was very surprised to see this thing. "I didn't expect you to bring this thing back. This is indeed a good idea. But this cell door can even lock up high-level Hollows. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out. Is there any other way to solve the problem?"
Uehara Shiroha seemed to have thought of a solution long ago. He looked at Ryouta next to him with a smirk on his face, and Ryouta immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't count on me. I can't do anything."
Uehara Shiroha didn't say anything, but quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ryouta's hair, then raised his knee and pressed it hard on his chest.
Ryouta felt like he had run out of breath in an instant and couldn't even make a sound. The people nearby were also frightened when they saw this scene.
Although they knew that Uehara Shiroha and Ryouta didn't get along, they didn't expect that Uehara Shiroha would be so heavy-handed.
Uehara Shiroha didn't intend to stop, and continued to punch Ryouta in the stomach. Raymond couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to stop him, "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, let's talk it out. If you keep fighting like this, he'll die."
Uehara Shiroha clapped his hands and replied calmly, "This is what I planned. Now it's up to me."
At this time, Ryouta was still rolling on the ground, holding his stomach, looking very painful. Uehara Shiroha really didn't hold back this time and his attack was heavy-handed.
Then Uehara Shiroha lay on the edge of the cell and shouted loudly, "Can someone come? I'm afraid one of us is dying."
Uehara Shiroha tried shouting a few times, but no one paid attention to them. Then he raised his voice and soon attracted attention.
A masked man walked over impatiently and asked Uehara Shiroha, "What are you yelling about here?"
Uehara Shiroha pointed at Ryouta next to him, "This guy doesn't look good. Do you want to check the situation?"
The other party said with disdain, "Don't play tricks on me. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with me. You guys better behave yourselves and stop causing me trouble."
Chapter 369: Seducing the Masked Man to Open the Prison Door
Uehara Shiroha suddenly had an idea and answered, "We were all detained here by your president's order. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be used to feed those high-level Hollows. If you find that there are fewer people on that day, I don't know whether the president will cause trouble for you."
The masked man stood there and thought for a long time. He thought that Uehara Shiroha and others wouldn't dare to do anything. After all, they were surrounded by layers of enemies outside, and they couldn't escape with just a few people.
After some hesitation, the masked man opened the door of the cell and walked toward Ryouta cautiously.
Just as he squatted down to check on Ryouta's condition, Uehara Shiroha struck the back of his neck and knocked him unconscious.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Raymond was frightened and hurriedly asked Uehara Shiroha, "That won't work. If you knock him out now, we won't be able to escape. There are still many people outside, and our weapons have been taken away."
Uehara Shiroha squatted down with a smile, then took off the other person's mask. The face under the mask was no different from the previous masked man, with scars all over the face.
It seemed that this was the so-called sign of the Dawn organization. Anyone who joined the Dawn organization must first endure this kind of pain.
Then Uehara Shiroha took off the other person's coat, put it on himself, put on the mask, and asked his companions next to him, "How about it? If I put on this outfit, you probably won't be able to recognize who I am."
The companions all nodded. The people of the Dawn organization didn't have any special characteristics. They wore the same clothes and masks, and as long as they didn't take off the masks, they couldn't tell who the other person was.
At this time, everyone finally understood why Uehara Shiroha had attacked Ryouta just now. It seemed that he wanted to use this method to attract the attention of people outside and lure the masked man in.
Uehara Shiroha had a broken mask in his hand, but they had no way to get out of the cell. Now that the cell door was open, they could just go out.
At this time, Ryouta gradually calmed down, raised his head and asked Uehara Shiroha, "Why did you suddenly attack me so hard? What on earth do you want to do?"
Uehara Shiroha shrugged, "For everyone's safety, I have to inconvenience you for a while, but now the cell door is open, so I can go out and scout ahead."
Ryouta's eyes rolled around and he immediately made a suggestion, "I should be the one to go out. I just got beaten up for it. It would be a bit unreasonable if I didn't go out."
Now everyone was silent. Everyone knew that if they let Ryouta go, it would be difficult to get him back.
Judging from his personality, he would definitely take this opportunity to run away. After all, wearing a mask, he could freely enter and exit the territory of the Dawn organization, and no one would say anything.
No one spoke. Ryouta had indeed sacrificed a lot just now, and it was difficult for everyone to refuse him in person, but no one was willing to trust him.
Uehara Shiroha said nonchalantly, "It's okay if you insist on going, but you have blonde hair, and people may recognize you at first sight. You should know this in your heart. If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead. I won't stop you."
Chapter 370: One Man Escapes from the Cell
Now Ryouta didn't dare to say anything and had to let Uehara Shiroha go alone, but he was a little worried about him.
Although Uehara Shiroha had always done things that were beneficial to everyone, if Ryouta had the opportunity to get out, he definitely wouldn't spend so much effort to rescue others.
Since he couldn't do it himself, he thought that Uehara Shiroha couldn't do it either, so Ryouta also proposed a suggestion.
"It's not impossible for you to go, but you can't go alone. I trust Raymond more, so let him go with you."
Uehara Shiroha looked at the other broken mask in his hand and thought that it would be okay to take one more person, but this would also bring new problems, so he answered, "The number of people in our cell is fixed. If one person is missing out of nowhere, do you think they won't notice?"
Uehara Shiroha's question really made Ryouta feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.
After some thought, Ryouta could only agree with Uehara Shiroha's opinion and let him go out alone.
Before leaving, Uehara Shiroha deliberately moved the body of the masked man to the side and let him face the wall so that no one else could see his face.
These masked people were just following orders. As long as they saw that there were no fewer people in the cell, they wouldn't care too much.
Afterwards, Uehara Shiroha hurriedly walked out of the cell, locked the door again, and walked toward the outside.
Not long after Uehara Shiroha walked away, Ryouta started to instigate everyone.
"Just wait, I guarantee he won't come back to save us."
Chiakura, who had always been on good terms with Uehara Shiroha, was the first to stand up and refute Ryouta.
"Stop talking nonsense here. You have such an idea yourself. Do you think Uehara Shiroha is the same person as you?"
Ryouta smiled with disdain, "Just wait and see if you don't believe me. He has the chance to run away now. Do you think he'll take such a big risk to come back and save us? We don't have any friendship—we just came together to complete a mission. Your lives aren't that valuable to him, so don't take yourselves too seriously."
Chiakura didn't want to argue with him anymore, and Raymond on the side kept trying to calm things down.
"Don't waste words on him. He's always like this. We should all believe that Uehara Shiroha can come back to save us."
After walking out of the cell, Uehara Shiroha walked forward and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
No wonder they had to be blindfolded the whole time when they were taken to the dungeon. It turned out that the scene in there was really scary enough.
Different levels of Hollows were imprisoned in each cell, and there were also some high-level Hollows that were devouring low-level ones.
Although Uehara Shiroha had known for a long time that the Dawn organization was keeping these Hollows to serve them, he hadn't expected that the number was so large.
Just as Uehara Shiroha was walking and observing, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Where are you assigned? Why are you still going forward?"
Uehara Shiroha immediately stopped and when he turned around, he found a masked man standing behind him.
