Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 284 The step towards the sky

  New Tokyo, Sky Tree.

Since the "Sky Tree Bleeding Night" more than a month ago, it has been blocked by the Judgment Department. Although the Judgment Department has withdrawn from Wano Country, due to some unknown reasons, it is very difficult for most people in New Tokyo. It is still a forbidden area.

  Sky Tree East Plaza.

Experienced people know that the best location to see the towering Sky Tree at close range is the East Square and Oshiage Station. The Sky Tree seen there will be a gesture of spreading its wings. This kind of magnificence is in the West Square. Can't feel it.

  The huge statue on the East Square is also a very good meeting place.

  In the past, there were often many boys holding two sundaes in their hands, waiting for the girls to come to the agreed meeting place together, and then they left holding hands with smiles on their faces.

  Of course, there are also some people who can’t wait for the person who is coming, and finally can only leave here silently alone with two cups of melted cold drinks in their hands.

But today, March 20th, under the statue full of metallic luster in the sun, there were two men in navy blue windbreakers standing silently, and the wind blowing from which world was unknown in the empty square. The sleeves of the two men's clothes fluttered and rattled.

  The captain of the sixth team, Miyano Juro, had a strand of golden wavy long hair in front of his forehead that was a little messy by the wind. He lifted the long hair on his forehead and asked hesitantly:

"Although I don't know why. But as the captain of the sixth team of the third investigation team, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that after opening it again today, the [Boundary Gate] of the sky tree will become extremely unstable. So you still decide to go in person?"

Hearing Miyano Juro's words, Kimura Baituo, the leader of the third investigation team, who was standing beside him with a broad figure and half-long hair, smiled softly, "The so-called adventure is precisely because of this. It makes sense."

   Miyano Juro no longer tried to persuade him, but said noncommittally, "I didn't know you were an adventurer, leader."

  Kimura Baituo said softly, "But in fact, I have always been very adventurous."

   Miyano Juro no longer delved into this issue, but his eyes drifted to the front of the East Square under the sky tree, where people began to gather towards them one after another.

   "They are here." Miyano Juro said.

   "Just come." Kimura Baituo nodded in satisfaction.

   Juro Miyano glanced out of the corner of his eye when he heard the words, and glanced at the man with a gentle smile beside him. He had always been a man with a turbulent chest and a peaceful face, but at this moment, he was rarely depressed.

  Although Juro Miyano knew current affairs when he came back from the Nemuro Strait in Hokkaido, he chose to follow Hakutaku Kimura for the Junjie team, and watched the other party step by step from the acting leader of the third investigation team to the official team leader.

  However, to this day, even outsiders regard Miyano Juro as Kimura Baitaku's confidant and right-hand man, and some people secretly call him a lackey who betrayed Team Leader Tokugawa.

   It can be said that even he himself finds it funny that,

As a "running dog" in the eyes of outsiders, he still doesn't know what the man next to him is thinking under the gentle smile, and he doesn't know what's behind the man's money to help the country out of the pocket of the chaebol family. what purpose.

It seems that the closer he gets to this man, the more Miyano Juro feels that this man is very unpredictable, and he has no idea what his mind is thinking. At present, the only thing Miyano Juro knows more about Kimura Baituo is-this Men seem to be more familiar with [Boundary Gate] than many people, and are more interested.

  Revisit old places

   Arriving at the Sky Tree again, Higashinohara smiled a little under the white-faced fangs Yaksha mask, and this feeling subconsciously surfaced in his heart.

I still remember the last time here, he and the Sixth Judgment made Adeline fall from the height of the 300-meter-high sky corridor on the West Square, and completed a real blow to the sky. The entire land was shattered under such an impact, and the terrifying impact force even spread along the ground, causing the entire Sky Tree to shake slightly like an earthquake.

  The Sky Tree is not yet open, and the construction progress is estimated to be quite slow, which also explains why the East Square was chosen as the location for their gathering today.

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara, wearing a white yaksha mask, looked at the other seven-star hunters from [Scarlet of the Dawn] who were walking beside him, five men and three women, walking side by side to the agreed place with Higashinohara.

  Among the eight people, except for the two young women among the three women who wore different masks of pink and sea blue, the others showed their true colors without any scruples, and everyone kept their eyes on each other.

  Though they belong to the same hunter organization, at most they are rivals competing for posts, and it is far from a close colleague relationship.

   "You are Shirayasha who has been discussed a lot recently, right?"

Suddenly, a soft female voice came from Higashinohara's ears. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was a woman wearing a sea-blue peacock feather mask. She was wearing a cropped short sleeve and black leather pants. The room is full of the charm of a mature woman.

Higashinohara glanced at the other party subconsciously. He didn't sound like someone he knew. He didn't refuse to pretend to be cold from thousands of miles away, but said in a flat tone that he had practiced long ago, "It's me, that's right. Is there a problem?"

   "Get to know Teresa, I didn't expect to meet you here." The woman came over and said with a half-smile, "It seems that you are also interested in those things of Team Leader Kimura, right?"

   "Those things?"

   Higashinohara under the mask frowned.

   "Did no one tell you the highlight of the operation?"

The woman was stunned when she heard the words, she lightly covered the corners of her mouth under the mask, and said with a trembling smile, "You won't be. You really signed up because of the 10 million yen per day. ?”

   "I've heard that Bai Yasha loves money as much as his life, but now it seems that he really deserves his reputation, he is an interesting guy." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, crossed Dongyeyuan and walked straight towards the statue gathered in the East Plaza of the Sky Tree.

  The highlight?

  Behind him, Higashinohara was indeed a little dazed.

  Of course he didn't become overwhelmed because of the high salary, plunged into such a vortex of life and death, he still understands the truth that if you have money, you have to spend it.

Higashinohara will resolutely return to that familiar yet unfamiliar world again this time. The most fundamental reason is naturally that there are dangerous elements roaming around in New Tokyo. After his week-long high-intensity attack, there are not many left, even with the power point. The speed of grabbing also slowed down accordingly, so he joined this organization in the middle of wealth and insurance to go to that dangerous place that was not too unfamiliar to him.

  Uh. By the way, make some money.

   But now someone actually told him that besides those "things outside the body", there was a so-called "highlight", which made Higashinohara even more confused about this operation.

  Under the statue in the East Plaza of the Sky Tree.

  At this time, all the seven-star hunters of Daybreak Scarlet had assembled and stood neatly in a row, looking up at the man with a gentle smile in front of him like soldiers waiting for inspection.

  However, when Higashinohara saw this man, his eyes behind the mask could not help but froze slightly.

  Although he has never seen this man before, he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, and the impression of this man seems to have been stuffed into his mind since some time last year.

what's the situation?

   Higashinohara frowned.

At this time, Kimura Baituo bowed slightly to Higashinohara and the others, with a warm smile revealing a heartfelt gratitude, "This time everyone can help the Metropolitan Police Department to crack down on those foreign criminals. Tokyo’s harmonious law and order has made great contributions, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of every citizen in New Tokyo.”

  Everyone remained motionless upon hearing the words.

   Obviously, as hunters who take money to do things, they are not too cold about this kind of opening. They are more concerned about the substantive level.

Kimura Baituo, who had a warm smile, was also very aware of this point. After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued with a smile, "Similarly, I also thank you for your trust in me, and decided to explore a brand new unknown world with me. Believe Before coming here, everyone at the scene already had a certain degree of understanding of the place we are going to this time through their own channels, but here I still want to repeat that "

   "If you want to come back alive, you'd better not disobey my instructions." Kimura Baituo said this with a smile, but the moment he uttered it gave off a very cold feeling.

  Under the mask of white face and fangs, Higashinohara still stared at Kimura Baituo's harmless and gentle face, and finally confirmed that he had never seen such a face again.

strangeness.

  Then where does this sense of familiarity come from?

   "But correspondingly, as long as everyone obeys the instructions, not only will you be able to successfully complete the task and get paid, but you will also have unexpected surprises."

The smile on Kimura Baituo's face became softer, and the cold feeling dissipated, "Finally, I hope our 'Hell Exploration Plan' will go well this time, and we look forward to seeing you again after this mission." Cooperation."

   After finishing speaking, Baituo Kimura turned and left with a smile.

  The people lined up behind you looked at me, I looked at you, looked up at the towering new Tokyo Sky Tree above them, and followed without saying a word.

  The time is three o'clock in the afternoon.

I don’t know if it’s because of [Gate of Boundary], every time [Gate of Boundary] changes and opens or closes, the sky around the sky tree will always become cloudy, and the dark clouds are like the sea in the dark night. The Wutao, the sky tree that goes straight into the sky is like the last lighthouse in the black waves.

  Sky Tree, the Tianwang Corridor 300 meters above the ground, is still near the broken hole.

  A pure "ability body" rolled like boiling magma, forming a huge vortex of lava at the [boundary], making everyone standing on the Tianwang corridor unable to hold their breath.

   "Those two old guys. Are they going to show up?"

   Higashinohara stared at this familiar scene, and still remembered that the last time he saw a whirlpool like a blue tide, but he didn’t know why it turned red this time

  However, the scene like a deep sea vortex lasted for about ten minutes.

Until it became calm again, whether it was the two old men from Shangjing, or the leaders of the major forces who came in through various means, I thought that at least some of them would be at the border of the Sky Tree this time. When the door opened again, when I came back, suddenly no one appeared.

   Nobody?

  Looking at the border gate, which is as calm as water, everyone couldn't help feeling puzzled.

  However, at this time,

   Without warning,

The pale face of a skinny young man who looked young suddenly emerged from the calm water-like boundary gate. He was wearing a loose school uniform that looked extremely shabby, and he was standing on the viewing platform of a high tower just like them. Looking at them, the empty and lonely eyes seemed to have passed through tens of thousands of years of time and space and looked at them.

   Just this one glance.

  Everyone couldn't help but feel palpitations.

   "Who's that boy?"

   "Did the border gate open last time?"

   "The armband on his shoulder with three stripes. Which organization's logo is it?"

   "The red three stripes? I've only heard that there is a pirate group in the West Sea whose logo is black five stripes."

  “.”

   Seeing such an unimaginable scene before entering, everyone immediately discussed in a low voice.

  Behind the white-faced and long-toothed Yaksha mask, Higashinohara looked at the young man who had a relationship with him when he came back from crossing the border gate last time, but his expression became a little weird.

  Although he didn't know who the boy standing on the viewing platform of the Pearl Tower who was staring at them through the border gate was, he knew what the armband with the three stripes meant.

  That’s right, that’s the leader of the Young Pioneers—the existence that Higashinohara admired very much when he was a teenager in the memory of his previous life.

  Higashi Nohara, with a strange face, glanced at Kimura Baituo who initiated this exploration operation from the corner of his eyes. Although the latter's face remained calm, there was a flash of confusion in his eyes.

   It's just that Higashinohara has a vague feeling that what this man is confused about may not be the same thing that they are confused about.

   Just when everyone lost their minds for a while, the figure on the water-like boundary gate suddenly disappeared again, and everything just now seemed to be just a mirage-like illusion.

what's going on?

  Although many of the hunters of Daybreak Scarlet were already mentally prepared when they signed up to participate in this appalling so-called **** exploration operation, the weird scene before the departure still made everyone tremble.

The mild-faced Kimura Baituo chuckled, shook his head and said, "It seems that there were some unexpected episodes before departure this time, since no one came back, we must be ready to go. "

  Everyone was silent for a while.

  Kimura Baituo didn't say much, his navy blue windbreaker was swaying in the mighty wind, he raised his legs and was about to step towards the sky outside the glass corridor where the mighty long wind flooded like a flood.

  At this time, Miyano Juro, the captain of the sixth team, couldn't help but ask, "This time the border gate is opened, there must be people who want to go in. If you are not here, I am afraid that we alone will not be able to stop those people."

  Kimura Baituo pondered for two seconds, then suddenly smiled lightly and shook his head, "Then there's no need to stop it, it's already so lively inside, wouldn't it be nice to make it more lively?"

  After the voice fell, the man took a step forward and disappeared, as if he had merged into the sky.

   The last three days at the end of the month are hot, and there are still three or four hundred votes short, please ask for a ticket lol~
