Chapter 371: Taking the Wrong Road and Almost Exposed
Uehara Shiroha hurriedly explained, "I am responsible for guarding those people in the cell."
The other party looked Uehara Shiroha up and down, then walked to his side. At this time, Uehara Shiroha's heart also became nervous.
Although they couldn't recognize each other while wearing masks, if the other party took off his mask at this time, everything would be exposed.
Uehara Shiroha saw a knife on the masked man and put his hand on his waist. He gradually moved his hand to the handle of the knife, ready to fight back at any time.
If he was really discovered, the only option was to kill him.
The subsequent matters would be easy to handle. There were so many Hollows imprisoned in the cells next door. No matter which cell he threw the body into, these Hollows would be able to dispose of it.
The other party didn't take action directly, but asked Uehara Shiroha curiously, "Since you're responsible for guarding the prisoners over there, don't you know that you're not allowed to come here?"
Uehara Shiroha hurriedly nodded humbly, "I was confused just now and took the wrong road. I'm really sorry. I'll go back now."
After saying that, Uehara Shiroha quickly ran back in the other direction. Fortunately, the other party didn't chase after him. Although he was a little suspicious, he didn't take any further action.
Uehara Shiroha wasn't familiar with the situation inside. When he was outside the cell, he could determine the direction by sound with his eyes closed, but after entering the complex, he could no longer tell the direction.
Since this road was wrong, Uehara Shiroha walked out along another road, and indeed saw more masked men outside.
The more masked people there were around, the harder it was for Uehara Shiroha to be discovered, and he quickly blended in.
When he just walked out of the dungeon, he saw a few masked men chatting at the door.
"I heard that the president has captured a few more people this time. These people are quite strong. If they're all fed to Flying Spirit, it might be able to evolve again."
"These guys are really powerful. I heard that they turned the Sirius organization upside down. Even Miyamoto was killed."
"Is this true? If they could kill Miyamoto, how could they be caught by the president?"
"Although Miyamoto is powerful, he's still far inferior to our president. Moreover, our organization has so many Hollows that haven't been put to use yet. Of course, they had to surrender."
Listening to the conversation between these people, Uehara Shiroha grasped the key words. The Flying Spirit they were talking about should be a higher level Hollow, perhaps cultivated by them.
Their purpose in capturing Uehara Shiroha was exactly the same as what he had guessed before, which was to use them to feed these high-level Hollows so that the high-level Hollows could continue to complete their evolution.
It seemed that he must find a way to rescue his companions as soon as possible. If he was a step late, it would be too late.
Uehara Shiroha planned to find out the daily routines of these people first, and break out at a time when the defense was the weakest. Anyway, the key was in his hand now, and he could let his companions escape at any time.
As long as they left the territory of the Dawn organization, they would be safe.
But Uehara Shiroha hadn't forgotten about repairing the cracks, and he had deliberately let himself be caught by them this time, in order to find out about the situation. If he couldn't repair the cracks, it would be a waste of time.
Chapter 372: Approaching the Masked Leader
Uehara Shiroha quickly became familiar with this group of masked men and began to obtain information from them.
In less than a day, Uehara Shiroha figured out the division of labor among this group of masked men.
The leader of the masked men in charge of this area was called Fed. The mask he wore was different from everyone else's, but the difference wasn't very obvious. If you weren't one of them, you couldn't tell the difference at all.
There were four black claw marks on the mask of an ordinary masked man, but one of the claw marks on the mask worn by Fed was dark red.
Such a slight difference couldn't be seen from a distance, and the subtle change could only be detected when you got very close.
At this time, Uehara Shiroha also had an idea. If he could get rid of this Fed, he would be able to take over his position.
After all, Fed was at a higher level than these ordinary masked men, and he could get in touch with more things.
The problem with his companions was simple—it was just a matter of repairing the cracks, which he was afraid wouldn't be accomplished as an ordinary masked man.
Uehara Shiroha slowly began to get close to this Fed. Fortunately, he still had some valuable items on him, so Uehara Shiroha gritted his teeth and gave him a few of them.
After receiving the gift from Uehara Shiroha, Fed looked him up and down. "I didn't expect you to have so many good things on you. Where did they come from?"
Uehara Shiroha answered without hesitation, "Aren't there a few people captured in the dungeon? I looted this from them. How dare I keep this kind of stuff for myself? I must give it to you first."
Fed nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, you have a future, young man. Follow me in the future, and you'll definitely benefit."
Uehara Shiroha nodded repeatedly. As long as the other party trusted him enough, he would be able to get the opportunity to be alone with him.
Sure enough, the opportunity came soon.
As the crack between the inner areas and the outer areas became larger and larger, more high-level Hollows ran to the outer areas, which caused the scene in the outer areas to become more and more chaotic, and these Hollows also began to roam everywhere.
At this time, a group of high-level Hollows came to invade the outskirts of the Dawn organization's territory, but this didn't put much pressure on the Dawn organization.
Fed soon received instructions from his superiors, who assigned him to clean up these high-level Hollows.
Fed was going to find a few trustworthy people to act with him, and Uehara Shiroha, who had given him a gift before, naturally became the top priority and the best choice.
After all, there were rewards from the organization for completing such tasks, and he also wanted to give this opportunity to someone closer to him.
There were a total of six people who went together and were divided into three groups to resist these high-level Hollows in three different directions. Uehara Shiroha and Fed were in the same group.
This was the first time that Uehara Shiroha had come out since being captured by the Dawn organization.
The scene outside was completely different from when he first came in. Twenty to thirty high-level Hollows began to launch continuous attacks on the outskirts of the territory.
Without hesitation, Fed took Uehara Shiroha and rushed to the west, followed closely by him.
Uehara Shiroha didn't dare to show too much of his strength. If the other party found out that he had the Hōgyoku, they would definitely start to doubt his identity.
Fortunately, Uehara Shiroha's level was such that even without using all of his abilities, he could easily deal with these high-level Hollows.
Chapter 373: Removing the Leader and Taking Over the Magpie's Nest
Although Fed was the leader of these ordinary masked men, his strength wasn't that strong. This was also a major feature of the Dawn organization.
The Dawn organization didn't rely on hard power to gain a foothold, but rather relied on the Hollows they controlled to help them fight.
The reason why they had to work in groups of two was to take care of each other. Otherwise, if they were attacked by these high-level Hollows, they would most likely be swallowed by them.
Uehara Shiroha had also been looking for opportunities at this time. Now he must find a way to deal with Fed. This was the best opportunity.
When they returned to the Dawn organization again, he wouldn't have such a good opportunity again.
When the two were dealing with these high-level Hollows, one of them suddenly appeared behind Fed. Fed looked at the huge black shadow under his feet and slowly turned his head.
Just as Fed was about to escape, Uehara Shiroha took action and stabbed him in the back with a knife. Fed wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
After doing all this, Uehara Shiroha quietly put on Fed's mask and easily dealt with several high-level Hollows in front of him. There was no one else around, so there was no need to continue concealing his strength.
Uehara Shiroha thought about it carefully, and figured that the other groups might not have finished fighting yet, so he just waited there for a while.
After the Hōgyoku was released, a dazzling light shone around it, and several high-level Hollows were instantly turned into ashes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Uehara Shiroha pretended to be exhausted and limped back.
At this moment, in the eyes of these masked men, Uehara Shiroha had become their leader. He was wearing Fed's mask, so in these people's eyes, this was Fed.
Sure enough, the other masked men had already finished the battle and were waiting for them to come back. Seeing that only one person came back, one of the masked men immediately stepped forward and asked, "Chief, why are you the only one back?"
Uehara Shiroha pretended to be helpless and shook his head. "This kid's skills were too clumsy. I tried my best, but I still couldn't save him. He was swallowed by those high-level Hollows. Fortunately, I dealt with them, so there won't be any more trouble."
The other masked men didn't say much. They turned their heads silently and walked back into the territory.
However, under the mask, Uehara Shiroha could no longer hold back his laughter. It seemed that these people were really unrecognizable. Using only a mask to distinguish each other was indeed a big loophole.
From this moment on, Uehara Shiroha became the leader of this group in a sense.
Since leaving the dungeon, his companions had never seen Uehara Shiroha again. In order to reassure them, he took the opportunity to go to the dungeon to visit his companions.
After arriving at the dungeon, Uehara Shiroha said to the masked men next to him, "You guys go out first, I have something to ask them."
The masked men didn't dare to say anything more and just walked out silently.
After they left, Uehara Shiroha came up with a mischievous idea and planned to scare Ryouta.
Chapter 374: Returning to the Cell to Report to Companions
Uehara Shiroha pretended to be serious and walked forward, glancing around the entire cell.
The other companions all looked calm, except for Ryouta, who curled up in the corner and didn't dare to look up.
Uehara Shiroha cleared his throat and spoke to Ryouta beside him, "You blonde boy over there, come out."
Ryouta's face changed immediately. Before he could figure out what was going on, he looked at his companions next to him, as if asking for help.
Raymond walked forward and asked in confusion, "He was just seriously injured. Just tell us if you have anything to say."
Uehara Shiroha was about to burst out laughing, but he suppressed his smile and spoke calmly, "Don't you know why you were brought here? Now it's time for you to be put to use. Let's start with this blonde guy."
If they asked Ryouta to leave now, it must be because they wanted to use him to feed these Hollows. It seemed that these people had already started to take action against them.
Now everyone became nervous, as they already knew why they were brought here.
Ryouta was about to cry out of anxiety, and he kept cursing Uehara Shiroha. "I've already told you guys that this Uehara Shiroha isn't reliable at all. It's impossible to expect him to come back and save us. That's good. Uehara Shiroha ran away by himself, leaving all of us here."
At this time, only Chiakura noticed that something was wrong. Although the voice of the person in front of her was very low, she could still feel that the voice seemed somewhat similar to that of Uehara Shiroha.
Although the mask worn by the masked man in front of her was completely different from the one that Uehara Shiroha wore before, Chiakura was a person who was good at observation.
Chiakura stepped forward tentatively and asked, "Is it Uehara Shiroha?"
Hearing Chiakura say this, Raymond immediately stepped forward to stop her. After all, in the eyes of these masked men, Uehara Shiroha should still be locked up in the cell, so how could he possibly be outside? If she said the wrong thing at this moment, all of Uehara Shiroha's previous efforts would be wasted.
In fact, Raymond believed that Uehara Shiroha would never abandon them.
At this time, Uehara Shiroha finally couldn't help laughing, and then mocked Ryouta, "Look at how scared you are. It was the right decision not to let you out. Otherwise, you would have run away long ago."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Uehara Shiroha's original voice. Ryouta was so scared that he almost wet his pants.
Chiakura hurried forward and asked, "Tell us what's going on outside now."
Uehara Shiroha told everyone what had happened in the past two days. After hearing what he had said, his companions all admired him very much.
"That's amazing! I didn't expect you to get rid of their leader in such a short time. Now you can use his identity to find out about the cracks."
"I thought it was difficult to rescue us from here, but now it seems that getting out isn't a problem. We just need to think about how to repair the cracks."
Ryouta had already been very annoyed by what had happened in the past few days, and he immediately spoke to everyone, "You've really forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed. It's good enough that you have the chance to get out now, but you're still thinking about repairing the cracks. You should think about how to escape first."
Chapter 375: Waiting for the News of Du'e
Facing Ryouta's disdainful sarcasm, Uehara Shiroha spoke, "Since I see that some people disagree, let's stick to the old rules and vote by raising hands. The minority must obey the majority. Do you think this method is fair?"
After hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, Ryouta immediately stepped forward to stop him. "Come on, stop doing this again. You're all on the same side. I'm the only one being bullied. What's the point of voting? Just do what you say. I don't want to argue with you."
After saying that, Ryouta curled up in the corner again, as if he didn't want to listen to everyone's plan.
Next, Uehara Shiroha began to introduce the situation outside to everyone. "Now that I've taken over the magpie's nest, no one doubts my identity. I just don't know if this method can pass the test of Du'e. If we want to solve the crack problem, we must start with Du'e, but I don't know if he can give us this opportunity."
Chiakura said to Uehara Shiroha with a worried look on her face, "Then you must pay attention to safety. If you find anything unusual, you should leave first."
Uehara Shiroha replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to rescue everyone. I won't go alone."
This time, Uehara Shiroha also had his own selfish motives. His Soul Slayer had been taken away by the other party. If he couldn't get it back, his trip would be in vain.
In the end, the mission of the cracks wasn't completed, and the Soul Slayer was handed over to someone else. All of Uehara Shiroha's efforts during this period would be in vain.
After explaining everything, Uehara Shiroha walked out alone, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say a few words to the other masked men, "These few people inside are the ones the president has specifically asked to keep. Take good care of them and make sure nothing happens to them."
The masked people didn't dare to refute and nodded one after another.
Next, Uehara Shiroha only needed to wait for an opportunity and wait for Du'e to call him over. He also believed that it wouldn't be long before Du'e would take the initiative to find him.
As expected by Uehara Shiroha, on the night when he informed his companions of the news, Du'e sent someone to call him.
A masked man hurried to Uehara Shiroha's side and then spoke, "The president wants you to come over."
Uehara Shiroha nodded slowly, thinking secretly in his heart that his chance had finally come.
When he arrived outside the president's hall, Uehara Shiroha was still a little nervous, afraid that his identity would be discovered by the other party. He calmed himself down a little before slowly walking in.
After entering the door, Uehara Shiroha imitated the other masked men and knelt on one knee on the ground with his hand in front of his chest in the exclusive way of the Dawn organization.
"President, why did you call me here this time?"
Du'e turned around slowly, and when he saw Uehara Shiroha, his brows frowned slightly, which made Uehara Shiroha a little nervous. He immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the other person.
Du'e asked, "You usually come to my place more casually, why are you suddenly the same as everyone else today?"
Uehara Shiroha's heart tightened. Although he was imitating the appearance of other masked men, he might still have flaws. But on second thought, this might be Du'e testing him.
Chapter 376: Psychological Game with Du'e
By simply taking off Uehara Shiroha's mask, you could see what the face underneath looked like, but such an action would actually make his subordinates have some doubts.
If Du'e really did this, it would mean that he didn't trust the people under his command, so Du'e used this method to deliberately test Uehara Shiroha.
After figuring this out, Uehara Shiroha tried to answer, "President, you may have remembered it wrongly. I always perform the salute normally."
After saying this, Uehara Shiroha himself was very nervous. If he guessed the other party's thoughts wrongly, the next result would naturally be predictable.
Although the Hōgyoku had strong destructive power, the level of the Hōgyoku in Uehara Shiroha's hand was too low, and he was no match for Du'e.
If the Soul Slayer was still in his hands, the two might still be able to fight, but now Uehara Shiroha was no match for Du'e.
Du'e slowly walked down the stairs and approached Uehara Shiroha step by step.
Uehara Shiroha's heart was in his throat. He didn't dare to do anything excessive and could only kneel on one knee on the ground.
When he walked up to Uehara Shiroha, Du'e still didn't say anything. He just stood beside him and looked at him, which gave Uehara Shiroha infinite pressure.
Fortunately, Uehara Shiroha kept his composure, and Du'e finally spoke, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I called you here this time because I have something important to entrust to you. How are the people imprisoned in the dungeon now? I hope nothing unexpected has happened."
Uehara Shiroha nodded slowly, "My brothers have been watching them the whole time and nothing unexpected has happened. These guys are relatively honest and haven't done anything wrong. Please rest assured, President."
Du'e nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then spoke, "Dolph has recently devoured a lot of advanced Hollows that have evolved, but he still hasn't evolved. This means that these foods are no longer of any help to him. It's time to put these people to use. If he can evolve after devouring them, it means that humans have a very good effect."
When Uehara Shiroha heard the name Dolph, he was still unfamiliar with it. He had never heard these people mention it before.
However, it wasn't difficult to guess from what he said that this Dolph should be a relatively advanced Hollow raised by the president himself.
However, the level of this Hollow might be far beyond their imagination—at least it should be higher than Quickley.
After all, after devouring the evolved high-level Hollows, he was unable to complete his own further evolution, which meant that this guy's level was too high, and these low-level foods could no longer provide him with enough nutrients.
And it wasn't difficult to guess from Du'e's words that he seemed to be doing this experiment. If devouring people had a better effect, Du'e's next goal might be to capture more living people to feed Dolph.
However, this wasn't entirely a bad thing for Uehara Shiroha. Since these high-level Hollows could no longer provide enough nutrients to Dolph, there was no point in the existence of the cracks.
Uehara Shiroha immediately suggested, "I will do as you order, but since these high-level Hollows are no longer useful, can the cracks be repaired?"
Chapter 377: Agree to Repair the Cracks
Obviously, Uehara Shiroha's words aroused Du'e's suspicion. Du'e lowered his head and asked him, "Does this crack cause you any trouble?"
Uehara Shiroha's mind worked quickly and he answered immediately, "I think the existence of the crack is also a threat to our organization. A few days ago, I went to the outskirts of the territory to clean up some high-level Hollows. This is just the beginning."
"If the cracks continue to exist, there will be more and more high-level ones, which will continue to invade our territory. I'm afraid we'll have to spend a lot of time and energy on them. And we lost a companion in the last battle. We don't want to lose more people."
Uehara Shiroha's explanation really convinced Du'e. Du'e thought about it carefully and then spoke, "What you said does make sense. If the crack continues to exist, it may not be a good thing for us. So you can take people to deal with the crack problem. Just bring those Black Spirits back over there, but before that, go take those people in the dungeon away first."
Uehara Shiroha was stunned after hearing this. This order seemed to be reversed. If he were to repair the cracks first, he could use this time to come back and rescue his companions.
By the time Du'e discovered it, the people would have already been rescued and the crack would have been repaired. His mission would be considered accomplished.
But now Du'e asked him to take his companions to feed Dolph first, which was really difficult to do.
By the time he brought the Black Spirit back from the crack, he was afraid his companions would have already been devoured by Dolph.
Seeing that Uehara Shiroha didn't speak for a long time, Du'e asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is it so difficult to handle such a small matter?"
Uehara Shiroha couldn't think of a way to explain for a moment, so he had to answer, "Not really. I'll do it now."
After leaving there, Uehara Shiroha was thinking all the way about how to ensure the safety of his companions.
Judging from the current situation, taking his companions to Dolph had become an inevitable result. It seemed that he could only take one step at a time and see.
When he arrived outside the cell, Uehara Shiroha asked the other masked men to wait outside while he went in to see his companions.
Everyone was excited to see Uehara Shiroha coming back, thinking that he had come to save them this time. Unexpectedly, Uehara Shiroha brought them bad news.
"Now things are getting complicated. Although the crack problem has been solved—Du'e has agreed to repair the crack—but before that, he asked me to take you to feed a high-level Hollow named Dolph."
Ryouta who always spoke coldly at the side became unusually excited this time and immediately ran up to speak to Uehara Shiroha, "Are you going to sell us all out just to get the reward for repairing the cracks? If you do that, we won't let you go even if we become ghosts."
Uehara Shiroha rolled his eyes at Ryouta and said calmly, "Everyone can rest assured, I'll find a way to rescue you, but now you must come with me."
The other companions believed him very much and thought that Uehara Shiroha wouldn't betray them, but only Ryouta disagreed.
Chapter 378: Ryouta Almost Ruined the Situation
This wasn't the first time that Ryouta had stood up against Uehara Shiroha. Uehara Shiroha had long been accustomed to it. Ryouta said with a firm face, "Whoever wants to go with him can go with him. I definitely won't go with him."
Uehara Shiroha frowned and spoke, "If you follow me now, I can guarantee that you'll be fine. If you don't follow me, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you. I'm asking those masked men to stay outside now. You should know clearly what they'll do to you if one of you is missing."
After some thought, Ryouta had to agree to Uehara Shiroha's request, but he wouldn't give in so easily.
Ryouta already had his own ideas. Since he had no chance to escape, Uehara Shiroha should have no chance of surviving either.
Everyone followed Uehara Shiroha out of the cell, formed a long line, and followed behind him.
When they reached the door, several masked men who were waiting outside followed them.
Ryouta looked around and saw that there were two masked men following them. Uehara Shiroha was close by, so he immediately started shouting, "You guys are really stupid. You can't even tell your own people apart."
Hearing Ryouta's words, Uehara Shiroha immediately became nervous. He turned around and ran toward Ryouta quickly, grabbed his hair and pressed him to the ground.
The gap in strength between the two was too great, and Uehara Shiroha's sudden attack caught Ryouta off guard, so he was slammed to the ground face-first.
Then Uehara Shiroha grabbed Ryouta's hair and the two looked into each other's eyes.
Although the two of them hadn't gotten along well along the way, this was the first time that Ryouta felt murderous intent in Uehara Shiroha's eyes.
If Ryouta said this, no one present would be able to escape, and they wouldn't be able to have any good results. It was obvious that Ryouta was willing to perish with everyone else.
He didn't think that Uehara Shiroha would save them. He just thought that Uehara Shiroha wanted to sell these people, which would not only give him a chance to escape, but also give him the reward for the task of repairing the cracks.
Ryouta knew very well that if he said one more word, Uehara Shiroha wouldn't show mercy and would kill him immediately, and Uehara Shiroha really thought so at this moment.
Sacrificing one blonde could save so many companions, which was definitely a good deal for Uehara Shiroha.
The people around them also became nervous, fearing that Ryouta would say another word.
The masked men nearby were also confused, not knowing what was going on. They didn't quite understand what Ryouta had just said.
Uehara Shiroha said calmly, "Don't play any tricks on me at this time. If I kill you now, I can still let those high-level creatures devour you."
Ryouta swallowed his saliva in fear and didn't dare to say anything more. He looked away. Seeing this, Uehara Shiroha loosened his hand.
Everyone was almost killed by Ryouta, so it was inevitable that everyone would feel some resentment toward him.
The masked men next to them didn't dare to say anything, although they had some doubts about the leader in front of them, they didn't dare to speak out.
After all, if you offended your superiors, you would probably end up with nothing good, so they had to endure it for the time being.
Chapter 379: Send Someone to Bring Back the Black Spirit
When they walked out of the cell, Uehara Shiroha called the masked men behind him to the front.
"You guys lead the way, I'll keep an eye on this guy from behind to prevent him from doing anything to us."
The masked men didn't think much about it. After all, Ryouta's behavior just now did make them feel a little strange, and it was normal for Uehara Shiroha to choose to watch him from behind.
However, Uehara Shiroha had his own reasons for doing this, because he didn't know where Dolph was—he just wanted these masked men to lead the way.
Halfway through the journey, Uehara Shiroha had an idea. Now, whether he could lead his companions away safely, there might be only one way.
Uehara Shiroha immediately called a few more masked men and spoke to them.
"The president has issued an order that the crack has no meaning now and will only continue to affect our safety. Immediately send a few people to bring back the Black Spirit and let the crack repair itself."
Faced with Uehara Shiroha's orders, these masked men didn't raise any questions, but did as he instructed.
Uehara Shiroha only hoped that these people could act faster, at least to repair the crack before his companions were swallowed up.
Although he wasn't nearby, as long as the crack was repaired, Uehara Shiroha would immediately receive a notification that the task was completed.
There was no need to pretend anymore at that time. He just needed to fight his way out with his companions. As long as Du'e wasn't here, they could still escape from here easily.
Under the guidance of several masked men in front, they soon arrived at a basement.
Rather than saying it was a basement, it was better to say that this was a huge underground palace.
The entire room was extremely spacious, with only a faint firelight illuminating the sides. In the center of the room, there were countless chains locking up an extremely huge Hollow. It seemed that this was the Dolph that Du'e mentioned.
Although he didn't get close, Uehara Shiroha could still feel Dolph's powerful aura. Let alone them, the Dawn organization probably wouldn't be able to handle this thing themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have locked it up.
After bringing the few people over, Uehara Shiroha gave some instructions to the masked men next to him.
"You don't need to be here for the next feeding process. I can watch here alone. You go guard outside and don't let anyone get close to here."
The masked men nodded and turned to walk out. After they left, Ryouta finally couldn't stand it anymore and sat down. He was beaten badly by Uehara Shiroha just now and was obviously seriously injured.
Ryouta wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and looked at Uehara Shiroha with resentment.
"In the end, we all became your tools to escape. Don't you feel guilty for doing such a thing?"
Uehara Shiroha spoke up, "If I really wanted to feed you guys to this big guy, I wouldn't have sent them out just now. I've already sent people to repair the cracks. We just need to wait here for the notification."
"What we need to do next is to delay the time as much as possible. I estimate that half a day will be enough for the cracks to be repaired."
Raymond asked curiously, "Not enough time—remember it took us a whole night last time."
Chapter 380: Du'e Appears at the Critical Moment
Uehara Shiroha answered, "We wasted a lot of time on the Black Spirit last time, but these masked men can control the Black Spirit, so there's no need to fight it, so they're much more efficient than us."
"I just hope nothing unexpected happens during this time. Everyone can take this time to have a good rest. We'll have to fight our way out later."
After hearing this, the other people sat around one after another, while Uehara Shiroha walked toward Dolph's direction.
Chiakura was carefully searching through her own reference book, and sure enough, she found Dolph and immediately called out to Uehara Shiroha.
"Don't go any further. This guy is brutal by nature. He will not only devour those with lower levels than him, but he won't let go of humans either."
Uehara Shiroha slowly stopped his steps and stood not far away, watching the huge monster in front of him.
Different from most Hollows, this guy looked more like a ferocious beast, lying on the ground with four legs, staring at everyone with a fierce look.
Chiakura exclaimed curiously while searching through the pages, "According to the description here, Dolph's level shouldn't be particularly high. He's only slightly stronger than some normal high-level Hollows. But the guy in front of me looks much stronger than those ordinary high-level Hollows."
Uehara Shiroha nodded, "That's right. The Dawn organization captures these low-level Hollows everywhere just to feed this guy. The reason they created the cracks and let these high-level Hollows escape is to allow them to complete their evolution once again, and then feed these evolved high-level Hollows to Dolph."
"Ordinary high-level Hollows can no longer satisfy this guy's appetite, so Du'e's next goal is to feed him with humans."
Raymond frowned nervously, "There will definitely be many people who will fall into his hands next time. We absolutely cannot let him do this."
Ryouta sneered with a look of disdain on his face, "We can't even save our own lives right now, and you're still thinking about other people. Try to find a way to escape from this place first."
Raymond was about to open his mouth to refute Ryouta, but was interrupted by Uehara Shiroha.
"This time I agree with Ryouta's statement. His behavior is certainly inappropriate, but we don't have time to care about so many things now. The most important thing is to escape from this hellhole first."
After hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, Raymond stopped talking and the few of them just rested like that.
He thought that after the crack was repaired, he could take this opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect that an accident would happen.
Just as they were resting on the spot, several masked men suddenly rushed in from outside. Uehara Shiroha immediately stood up and questioned them.
"Didn't I tell you guys to stay outside? Who allowed you to come in?"
These masked men seemed not to have heard what Uehara Shiroha said. After entering the door, they separated into two rows and stood on both sides of the stairs.
Then a familiar figure walked in from outside the door, and everyone present was shocked.
The person who walked in from outside was Du'e. He walked down the stairs while speaking to Uehara Shiroha.
"I noticed something was wrong with you from that day on, but I was very curious about what you were trying to do, so I played along with you."
