Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 311 Doctor Seed and Creator! (Dazhang asked for a monthly pass)

  Wild Wolf Hujoute may not have figured out until his death why the punch he had honed most of his life in the sea would give an ordinary punch to the ordinary boy in front of him.

  He is depressed!

  He's manic!

  He couldn't figure it out!

  However, at the moment before he died, the wolf Hujote inexplicably recalled the words that Higashinohara said calmly just now in his mind.

   "That's right, I killed it."

  A simple sentence made the wolf Hujoute go through a very complicated spiritual journey, from being in a daze for a short time at the beginning, to being absurd when he came back to his senses.

   Immediately, it turned into the astonishment and anger of being blasted out by Higashinohara's "normal punch"!

  Finally, before he died, when that simple but unavoidable punch hit his pupils gradually enlarged

  The moment of dying,

  The wolf Hujoute actually felt a kind of complicated and unspeakable panic and panic in his heart, and a terrifying thought popped up in his mind uncontrollably.

  This kid.

   Will you not lie?

  It's very strange, isn't it? Obviously the danger of his own death is in front of him, but this matter inexplicably appeared in the mind of the wolf Hujote, and he fell into a daze, shock and confusion again.

   Fortunately, everything is over now.

  Dead people don't need to think too much.

  However, at this moment,

   Higashinohara was also lost in thought.

   Just like [Scales of Quicksand. Fourteen Times Speed], Higashinohara was able to easily enter the state of this unlimited field as early as [Agility] reached 70 comprehension fields.

   It's just that this time it seems different.

At the speed at which Higashinohara entered this state before, for example, the last time he faced Rain Demon Sheila, who also belonged to the Shelby Pirates, he seemed to have never had such a terrifying combat power to kill the same level with one punch, and he had to rely on swords such weapons.

   So what has changed?

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara's gaze could not help but fall on the attribute panel of the [Crime Manual] in his mind.

  【Agility: 72.5】

  【Strength: 69.5】

  【Physique: 69.9】

In contrast, apart from the fact that his agility has not improved significantly since he reached the theoretical "threshold" not long ago, the two attributes of [Strength] and [Physique] have achieved a qualitative leap. Thirty points have been raised to the edge of the seventh step with half a foot now.

   Gradually, Higashinohara's face revealed a pensive look. He felt that he had grasped something faintly, and also verified his original guess and choice

  That is, the improvement of attributes and strength is not linear, but a non-linear parabola. After any attribute reaches the theoretical threshold, the expectation of continuing to improve will become lower.

  At the beginning, he wanted to bypass the "threshold" and continue to improve his strength, so he had to curve to save the country. Starting from other attributes, he chose the two attributes of [Strength] and [Physique].

  Looking at it now, since I can kill the evil wolf Hujot, who is at the peak of the second stage of the seventh stage, with two punches, then his strength is at least at the beginning of the third stage of the seventh stage, and he is even very capable of the fourth stage or even the fifth stage of the seventh stage.

   This shows that this path is indeed correct.

  However, Higashinohara felt that in this world, relying on attribute points to improve his strength was really a strange thing, and the ability stage of ordinary ability users could no longer accurately evaluate his own strength.

  If you ask him to say it, if he is in a normal situation without temporary attribute point bonuses, even his seventh-level and fifth-level abilities at the same level may be capable of fighting.

   It is not too much to say "invincible at the same level".

   But it is not so good when it comes to the eighth order.

  You must know that from the seventh to the eighth level is not a simple improvement in the literal numbers of the level of ability.

   If you want to make an analogy, it is no different from the transition from a cold weapon to a hot weapon. His current attributes are still in the seventh-level range. Under normal circumstances, he may not be able to handle the eighth-level abilities.

   Higashinohara was thinking about these

  At this time, there was a sound of rustling footsteps behind him, and he turned his head to see Lucy and Daniel walking over cautiously.

  At this time, the two of them stared straight at the evil wolf Hujok not far from Dongyeyuan who was still standing there, facing them but "staring" at them with the back of his head.

   "Is this guy dead?"

   Lucy was a little uncertain.

Daniel looked at the wolf Hujok again, turned his back to the back of their heads at 80 degrees, couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple, swallowed and said, "If you read correctly, you should be dead beyond death. gone."

  Hearing the repeated confirmation from her companion, the tight string in Lucy's mind, who had been hunted down for almost a whole day, suddenly relaxed, and she almost collapsed to the point of falling directly.

   But now is not the time.

  Lucy stabilized her figure, and exchanged a glance with Higashinohara who turned her head.

  The latter showed a gentle smile on his face, but Lucy felt that the smile was a bit dazzling and unreal.

The man in front of me who just punched the wolf Hujot's head 180 degrees, still can't compete with the dying man who they picked up in the stagnant water of the river yesterday, and today she is holding her shoulders and running around with tense nerves. The men of the day bond together.

  How can anyone in this world be "old, weak, sick and disabled" one day, and be like "a **** descending from the earth" the next day?

   Unless he was faking it from the beginning, but that horrible injury definitely didn't look like a disguise.

  Looking at the smile on the face of the man in front of her, although Lucy thought to herself that she was pretty, but it wasn't enough for a man she had never met to approach her by "self-mutilation".

   Then it seems that there is only one possibility left

  Lucy's face became serious.

   maybe

  I far underestimated my own beauty?

   Just when all kinds of messy thoughts flashed through her mind.

  Daniel next to him was much more direct, straight to the point and raised issues that only men would care about.

   "That. How did you do it?"

   Higashinohara turned his head to look at him, with a calm smile on his face, "He said to punch again, so I punched again."

   "." Daniel choked for a moment, and said with disbelief, "That's it?"

   "Maybe I'm 'faster' than him." Higashinohara added an explanation.

   Lucy, who wanted to ask something, was choked by Higashinohara for a moment, and the words stuck in her throat, and it took a long time to swallow all the doubts and puzzles.

  She had a premonition in her heart that if she followed up with the question, she would definitely be depressed to death by Higashinohara's answer.

   Higashinohara turned his head and stared at Lucy, who was about to speak but kept silent and wanted to be stuck in her throat. She waited quietly for a while, and found that she held back and didn't ask, so she couldn't help but smile.

   "Okay, since the troublesome pursuers have been cleared up, let's stay here tonight." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the Pujiang community.

  Lucy and Daniel couldn't help but glance at each other.

  After Higashinohara entered the Pujiang community, Lucy, who was left behind, couldn't help leaning over to Daniel's side, and began to discuss in a whisper.

  The two talked for a long time about "why this guy who was dying yesterday became so violent all of a sudden", but couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so they had no choice but to keep up with the footsteps and enter the community.

   But after Lucy calmed down, she couldn't help squinting slightly as she looked at Higashinohara's back.

  She is not a fool. Although she guessed the extraordinaryness of Higashinohara on her back at the unimaginable scene when she met the strange demon at the Pearl Tower at noon, she just didn't expect it to be "extraordinary" to this extent.

   But in this case, she might as well make mistakes and make mistakes, even if Higashinohara is really greedy for her beauty and deliberately approaches her, then they have found a strong thigh in this unfamiliar world.

Not to mention.

   This guy takes a closer look,

  It’s actually not annoying to look at

   Lucy thought so reservedly in her heart.

   Unexpectedly, after they returned to the Pujiang community to re-campaign, it was dinner time. However, Higashinohara made a suggestion that "everyone will leave here tomorrow morning".

"why?"

   Lucy, who was eating a nutrition bar, suddenly became anxious.

Daniel was also stunned for a moment, noticing that his elder sister Lucy was giving him crazy winks, he understood after a moment of stunned, and said quickly, "Don't! Although we met by accident, we saved you in this **** world, and you also Saving us is considered friendship and fate, and now there are still four days before the border gate opens again, so we might as well get together and help each other."

Speaking of this, Daniel hurriedly added, "Of course, I know that you should be a strong person at the peak of the seventh step, an out-and-out master, but we are not weak, if that guy didn't restrain Miss Lucy today Your strength has long been crushed, and we will not hold you back."

   Higashinohara couldn't help smiling when he saw this, knowing that they were thinking too much, he shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"You have also seen my injuries yesterday. You should know that I was injured by someone. Although I also killed that person, there are more powerful people behind him. If you are with me, there may be unnecessary injuries. danger."

  Although the two who were just behind were far away, they did not hear the words "I killed Shelby the Black Demon" that Higashinohara said to the wolf Hujoot.

  But since Higashinohara showed his strength today, no one can tell how strong the opponent who injured him is.

   Not to mention that according to Higashinohara's description, the next thing to trouble him is the more terrifying and powerful guy than before. Lucy and Daniel looked at each other involuntarily.

How to do?

The next second, Lucy said decisively without the slightest hesitation, "If you are afraid of hurting us, then there is no need, today. Today is a mistake, if it is someone else, you will know my [Judgment of Judgment] Hammer] how powerful it is.”

   Higashinohara glanced at Lucy whose mouth was harder than his fist, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

   If I remember correctly, when he beheaded the elder Vincent of the Skyhawk tribe yesterday, the old man named Abraham who forcibly suppressed him from afar was also a strength-type ability user.

   And Lucy is also a power-type ability user.

  But the sense of oppression brought by the two to Higashinohara is undoubtedly the gap between the fireflies and the sun and the moon.

   can't be compared at all.

  If Lucy, a strength-type capable person, encounters a ninth-level powerhouse like Abraham, Higashinohara feels that there is a high probability that he has not had time to see how powerful she is, and I am afraid that she will suffer the blow of dimensionality reduction together with the hammer.

  Of course, even if the words are true, but Lucy has good intentions after all, Higashinohara didn't say anything when he heard the words, he smiled and said sincerely:

"Of course I'm not afraid of dragging you down. It's just that my current situation is a bit complicated. It's hard for me to guarantee that the other party will have any means to track me. That guy is a powerful enemy that I can't deal with now. I'm afraid you will suffer if you are with me." implicated."

   Speaking of this, Higashinohara paused, and said seriously, "You can think about it and give me an answer tomorrow morning. If you are still willing to walk with me tomorrow, then we will make other plans."

   After saying this, Higashino, who had finished his dinner, thanked him and returned to his sleeping bag in the camp.

   At this time, Lucy and Daniel behind him also felt Higashinohara's seriousness, and couldn't help but frown for a while and fell into serious thinking.

   Night falls.

   Time quickly entered the night.

  March 22.

  Higashi Nohara returned to the sky tree [Boundary Gate] to spend the third night.

  Speaking of which, the experience of this trip to **** is really embarrassing. In just three days, he encountered two chases and killings, as well as various potential dangers at the moment.

  Thinking that there are still more than four days before the next opening of the border gate, that is, on the afternoon of March 27, Higashinohara's expression became a little dignified.

  Honestly speaking, he returned to the **** world this time purely for the purpose of brushing more strange monsters to obtain source points to develop the purple epic ability of Talent Sequence 16 [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], and to accumulate as much strength as possible before trouble comes.

   I never expected that I would meet the old guy from Shangjing in this **** world ahead of time.

   It can only be said that people are not as good as heaven.

   Fortunately, the final result saved the day, and Higashinohara did not die before leaving the army.

  But after four days, it's not easy to say.

  By that day, everyone living in this world will probably return to the anchor point under the sky tree.

  Even if Higashinohara wears a mask, it is difficult to guarantee whether such a ninth-level powerhouse will lock himself in other ways in a face-to-face situation

  Thinking of this, Higashinohara's heart sank slightly.

  However, after recovering from a serious injury, in the evening, he experienced a "tragic battle" with the wolf Hujot, the second cadre of the Shelby Pirates-maybe it was not miserable at all in the eyes of others, and it was even quite relaxing.

  Only Higashinohara himself knows how much mental and physical energy he has expended from breaking into Hu Qiaoke's flowing water and stagnant space to blasting that lore punch.

  Daniel is on guard tonight. He originally wanted to help, but Lucy refused on the grounds that his injury has not healed. I can only say that the siblings are really nice people.

   In a daze, Higashinohara, who was lying in the sleeping bag, fell asleep.

   I don’t know how long it has been.

  In his hazy field of vision, a figure in a navy blue windbreaker suddenly appeared, looking a little familiar.

   "Do you know that the birth of [Seed] is actually a reverse process?"

  Suddenly, a very gentle voice came, and the figure walked into a simple laboratory, with his back turned to him, and he was fiddling with some sophisticated instruments.

  The other party did not wait for his reply after speaking, and continued to concentrate on operating the instruments and said:

  "Any great thing must be a crazy thing in the eyes of mediocrity, and sometimes crazy things are not that complicated. We only need to complete three steps."

   "First, we need to have 【Fruit】."

   The man in the navy blue windbreaker said, turning his back to him and pointing to the orange in the glass container on the table beside him.

  It was a plump, round, bright yellow orange, fresh as if it had just been picked, and it made people want to swallow it with the skin and flesh just by looking at it.

   "Refine the abilities contained in those strange monsters into fruits, so that ordinary people have a chance to transform into butterflies. If they fail, they will die. Of course, the right to choose is in everyone's hands."

  The man lowered his head and continued as if talking to himself, "The second step is to refine the ability to extract into the fruit to reduce the uncontrollable 'risk' after taking the fruit, but"

Speaking of this, the man with his back turned to him paused, and said slowly, "One can get nothing without sacrifice. In order to get something, one needs to pay the same price, right? This is equivalent exchange, or Said to be the conservation of matter.”

   "In other words, the uncontrollable 'risk' has not disappeared, but has been transferred, from the humans who eat the fruits to these fruits."

   The man said so casually.

   Without warning,

  The crunchy green apple in front of him burst suddenly, and the pulp stuck to the inner walls of the glass containers slowly slid down like puddles of dirty mud.

   At the same time, in the invisible darkness connected to the instrument not far away, a strange monster let out a painful roar, but finally disappeared slowly into the darkness.

  As if nothing happened.

   "This is the transfer of risk. Facts have proved that the success rate of fruit purification is still very low, and it can only be supplied to a very small number of people with abilities. Most ordinary people still need a certain amount of exchange if they want to obtain abilities."

  The man thought for a while in silence, and said seriously, "This is not the will of the Creator. This is also an exchange of equal value, telling us that each of us must pay for what we want."

Having said that, he chuckled lightly and said, "But these are not important, the most important thing is the third step in the 'three steps', which is to obtain the fruit that contains endless hope from the fruits that mature step by step. 【seed】."

"Well, even though I know you don't understand my language, I still want to tell you that those fifth-level orange monsters that scare you in this world are not creators. The same is true of the heavenly beings in the sky."

   "Whether you are the world or mine, there has never been a creator."

   "But all this is coming to an end. If anyone can be called the 'creator' in the future, then I think only me who created the [seed]."

   "The day may not come too late.

What do you think? "

   Facing the man's questioning, Higashinohara finally realized the identity of the "he" who saw everything hazy.

  He is Jiang Huai, the boy who was standing in the mighty wind and wearing the three-striped epaulets who looked at him again today at the Pearl Tower.

   And the man in the navy blue windbreaker in front of him seemed to suddenly see the light of the day, and the chaotic backs quickly overlapped in front of his eyes!

  Heir of the Zaibatsu family in Wano country

  There is the leader of the third investigation team.

  Has the leader of the Jaeger expedition team

  There is a man in this laboratory in Jiang Huai's dream.

and also

  The Funeral Club Snake is the "doctor" in my eyes.

   And in the dream, when this figure turned around for the first time, the face that jumped into my eyes was not someone else, but the man with a warm smile that made people feel like a spring breeze

  Kimura Baituo!
