"Looks like we'll have to climb over the wreckage of the bus."
Guhan scanned the wreckage with his flashlight. The entire road was blocked by the bus. They would have to climb over it if they wanted to cross it.
"Be careful, there's a Yuan Kou hiding in the wreckage." Misaka Mikoto placed her hand in front of Guhan.
"Oh!" Guhan nodded. He did not stop and continued to walk forward.
"You have to believe me. Although I've lost my Lv6 ability, my instincts are still at Lv6. Yuan Kou is hiding in the bus, waiting for us to walk right into its trap." Misaka Mikoto continued to persuade him.
"Of course I believe you!"
Misaka Mikoto could not see Guhan's expression in the dark. "I've also sensed it. There's something with bad intentions waiting for us in the bus.
However, it's quite troublesome for him to hide in the bus. We have to find a way to chase him out. "
As soon as Gu Han finished speaking, he walked until he was less than ten meters away from the bus. Under Misaka Mikoto's curious gaze, Gu Han drew his Heaven-reliant Sword and unleashed two sword auras from Sword of the Abyss.
The wreckage of the bus had been in the tunnel for a thousand years, and the metal on the bus had already become crisp and delicious. Even if an ordinary person were to use force to break the metal on the bus, they would be able to easily break it, not to mention the fact that the cold sword Qi had killed it.
The two Sword Qis formed a cross in the shape of an X and directly hit the front of the bus. The wreckage of the bus instantly turned into a pile of debris. A piece of debris flew from the front of the bus and fell under Gu Han's feet. This was the bus's route number. Gu Han could vaguely see the number 512 on it. It turned out to be the 512 bus. Seeing this number really made him sigh.
The destruction of the wreckage of the bus triggered a huge fog. The thick layer of dust that had accumulated on the ground was instantly blown up by the huge external force, filling the entire space. The flashlight that could illuminate more than ten meters was instantly reduced to less than a meter of visibility.
"Oh no, Yuan Kou might hide in the dust and attack us!" Misaka Mikoto immediately reminded Guhan when she saw that their line of sight was blocked by the dust.
"It's not a possibility. He's definitely going to attack us!"
Guhan's ears were quickly distinguishing the sounds in the tunnel. If Yuan Kou were to attack them, there would definitely be a sound. That was the only way for Guhan to locate Yuan Kou.
As expected, Guhan heard the sound of something breaking. The sound came from behind Guhan.
Guhan pushed Misaka Mikoto away from him and slashed at a spot covered in dust at lightning speed with the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Guhan could feel that his blade had hit something. Yuan Kou squeaked like a mouse and retreated into the dust. He had no idea where it was hiding.
Guhan took a few steps to the side and returned to Misaka Mikoto's side to protect her.
"How was it? Did you kill Yuan Kou?" Misaka Mikoto asked while panting.
"No, Yuan Kou's body is very strange. It's like cotton candy. It's too soft. My sword didn't even manage to pierce through its body before it escaped."
Guhan answered, "However, my attack just now must have injured it. It won't dare to attack us for the time being.
The best thing to do is to wait here for it to attack us first. I'll wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
I wasn't prepared just now. I just fought as usual.
Now that I know its characteristics, Yuan Kou won't be able to escape unscathed the next time. "
"Alright, I understand."
Misaka Mikoto nodded. Together with Guhan, she waited for Yuan Kou to attack again. However, after waiting for more than twenty minutes, there was no movement. It was as if Yuan Kou had disappeared.
"I've underestimated it. I didn't expect it to try and compete with us in terms of patience!" Guhan smiled bitterly.
"Could it be that Yuan Kou has left?"
Misaka Mikoto guessed. "Perhaps it knows that it's no match for you, so it has escaped."
"No, it hasn't left. It's right next to us. It's hiding somewhere and has its eyes on us!"
Gu Han stretched out his hand and swiped it across the air, and a small amount of dust appeared in his palm. "This dust is the evidence. Twenty minutes ago, this dust should have fallen to the ground and returned to its original state.
However, it's still causing a commotion right now. Yuan Kou blew the dust into the air. Its purpose is to use the dust to hide its body. It must still be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack. "
"I see. I didn't expect a man like you to be so meticulous. If only that idiot was half as smart as you are."
Misaka Mikoto thought of a certain person. She had a strange feeling in her heart. She became anxious.
"Guhan, we can't stay here and play with Yuan Kou any longer.
It'll be dark in a few hours. If we don't get to Rain Flower Terrace District before dark, our plan will be ruined. "
"I know. However, we don't know what dangers lie ahead. If we don't eliminate Yuan Kou here, we'll face even more cruel dangers later."
Guhan said calmly, "That's why we have to eliminate Yuan Kou here before we can set off again."
"But what if he keeps wasting time with us and refuses to come out?"
"Then we'll deal with it as it comes. Since he's using the dust to hide himself, it means that he doesn't have the ability to turn invisible. As long as the dust can't be lifted, he won't be able to hide." Guhan laughed.
"Make the dust unable to be lifted?
What should we do?
If I still have my power, I can use electromagnetic energy to create a fan model and use a Category 12 typhoon to blow away all the dust. However, now I … "Misaka Mikoto was a little excited when she talked about her power. However, she quickly realized that she was no longer a level 6 superpower user. She was now just a burden that emitted electricity all over her body.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Gu Han shook his head, "I remember when I was still in the first grade of primary school. At that time, what I hated the most was cleaning. Because every time I swept the floor, the dust raised by the broom would get into my eyes, and I was called a crybaby for no reason."
"Later on, my mom told me that as long as I sprinkle some water on the ground, the dust will stop flying and won't get into my eyes. That's when I realized that the problem that had been bothering me for so long could be solved so easily. All I need to do is sprinkle some water on the ground."
Gu Han said it very calmly, but when he recalled these things, Gu Han's heart was extremely depressed and uncomfortable. His eyes even faintly became a little moist.
"I see. That's right. All I need to do is sprinkle some water!
I did the same thing when I was in elementary school a thousand years ago. However, when I moved to places like Changpantai, I didn't have to do things like cleaning! "
Misaka Mikoto was also brought into her memories by Guhan's words. "It's been a thousand years and I've completely forgotten about those things. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered them for the rest of my life."
"You'll remember them. When you need to remember them, you'll remember them!"
Guhan clapped his hands. "Now, the problem is, where should we get water to cover the entire tunnel? We'll need a lot of water. It's not something that can be solved with a sprinkler."
"That's easy. Isn't there water above us?"
Misaka Mikoto sneered. "All you need to do is stab it with your sword energy. Do you think the water in the entire Yangtze River won't be enough to fill up this tunnel?"
"That won't work. It's already amazing that this tunnel can last for a thousand years without being damaged. However, the interior of the tunnel is riddled with scars. Even if I poke a hole the size of a needle, the entire tunnel will be destroyed by the pressure of the water. We'll all drown here." Guhan pouted.
"Mr. Guhan, what should we do?
How do we get enough water to wet the tunnel? "Misaka Mikoto's tone sounded like the person who was in charge of supporting the man in a crosstalk.
"Just watch!" Guhan took out a dimensional pocket.
Misaka Mikoto noticed that the dimensional pocket was not the simple dimensional pocket that Guhan usually used. Instead, it was a dimensional pocket that was exquisitely made and had embroidery on it. She did not expect that the seemingly poor Spirit-level swordsman to have two dimensional pockets.
Gu Han's hand that was holding the Dimensional Brocade Pouch lightly moved downwards, and water actually began to flow out of the Dimensional Brocade Pouch … Although the Dimensional Brocade Pouch was small, the water that flowed out was not small. It was as thick as a soccer ball, and it was estimated that more than a ton of water would flow out of the Dimensional Brocade Pouch in less than a minute.
"What are you doing?
Is this your drinking water?
How can you use our drinking water?
Isn't this just a drop in the bucket? "Misaka Mikoto thought that Gu Han was desperate, so she poured out the water that was meant for drinking.
However, even if Guhan poured out all the drinking water, how much would there be?
How could it possibly fill up the entire tunnel?
"We Huaxia have an old saying, 'be prepared for danger in times of peace'. I agree with this saying. That's why I brought enough rice to last me for ten years and enough drinking water to last me for fifty years. Don't worry, I have enough water!"
Guhan placed his finger on the flowing water. A few sword auras shot out from Guhan's finger and circled around Guhan's finger … The sword auras were like a large fan. The water that flowed out of the dimensional pocket was stirred by the fan into a large sprinkler. The water continuously flew to various locations in the tunnel.
The sprinkler was perfect. The dust that had been drenched by the water could not be blown away no matter how hard it tried. As the dust that filled the air fell, the entire tunnel returned to its original state. This time, the air smelled like dust after a rain.
