Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 314 The Sky Tree will open again!

  Boom!

  A roar like rolling thunder came from the mirage-like black ocean not far from the coastline.

  A frighteningly huge vortex appeared in the black tide at the location of Mingsha Island, as if some kind of force had blasted a certain place into a vacuum.

  Obviously they were on the shore at a considerable distance, but there was an earthquake-like tremor under their feet, and the endless black tide in the distance was like an uphill mountain, giving people a terrifying oppressive force enough to stiffen the limbs.

Everyone in the hunting team who stayed at the nearby abandoned factory for almost a whole day turned pale, and their shoulders seemed to be enveloped by an indescribable power. The rushing crowd involuntarily cast their sights on the rushing tide and sea waves.

   "What happened? Captain Yoshizu?" The gentleman Arenda came over with an ugly face and asked.

  The deputy captain of the Jaeger Squad, Yoshitsu Ichiro, stared at the scene in front of him with a pale face, and shook his head with some difficulty, "I don't know, anyway, it shouldn't be a good thing."

   "How long are we going to wait here for Captain Kimura?" Teresa Yuyi asked urgently. Ever since they were on standby here that day, there were strange demons wandering around everywhere.

   You should know that although these strange monsters look like living corpses, they are actually not as clumsy and dull as the zombies in the shadow works, and they also have different levels of abilities.

   If you don't pay attention, you can cause fatal damage to anyone in the hunting squad.

  Vice-captain Yoshizu Ichiro is of course aware of this, his complexion couldn't help but he lowered his head and murmured as if talking to himself, "Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer"

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for us to be eaten by these strange demons one by one?" Teresa snorted coldly, and suddenly said, "We are here to wait for Captain Kimura to fulfill our duties, but Captain Kimura may not need us to drag you down, otherwise he They will not leave us alone to go to that sand island."

  Hearing Teresa's words, the surrounding people couldn't help being silent for a while.

   "Do you think Bai Yasha is still alive?" Suddenly, someone asked very abruptly.

  After the voice fell,

  The atmosphere of silence suddenly became more depressing.

  Higashi Nohara has been missing for two full days since yesterday, and there is no response even in the communication voice of the hunting squad.

  Although in the battle the day before yesterday, the strength he showed shocked everyone who witnessed it.

   But when manpower was exhausted, at that time, many people saw that Higashinohara was already at the end of his strength when he killed Vincent, the old man of the Skyhawk tribe, and could not last long.

   Not to mention that there was a more powerful Shangjing Tianren who was even more powerful on Mingsha Island at that time, and the pressure from all over his body was so tidal and sea-like that it was almost impossible to breathe.

  After that, Higashinohara disappeared without a trace, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead, or whether he also went to that sandy island.

But based on their observations at the abandoned factory near the seawall in the past two days, the sand island surrounded by black tides has experienced countless vibrations in the past two days, which seems to be happening between people with peak abilities. collision.

   It is not difficult to guess that if the seriously injured Bai Yasha really went to that island, then judging from the ground-shaking battles around Mingsha Island these days, the situation is not optimistic.

  It is very likely that before they knew it, Shiraiyasha, who had just flashed across like a shooting star, had already died in the hands of that incomparably powerful old man from Shangjing.

  Thinking of the ants-like indifference that the old man gave them when he glanced at them the day before yesterday.

   When the [Boundary Gate] opens four days later, it will be fine if the other party still treats them with disdain like ants.

   I'm afraid that since he is an ant in the eyes of others, the other party will come up and step on him when he is idle and bored.

  Where the other party is interested,

   For them, it was a disaster.

   There was a wave of anxiety in the hearts of everyone, not knowing when the waiting for this torment would end.

   Without warning, a familiar gentle voice suddenly came to my ears.

   "Are you waiting for me?"

   Everyone suddenly turned around, without any preparation, the man with a gentle smile appeared right here at the back door of the abandoned factory.

   "It's Team Leader Kimura!"

   "Team Leader Kimura is finally back!"

"that is really good!"

  “.”

   Facing the sudden appearance of Kimura Baituo, everyone in the hunting squad showed overjoyed expressions after a brief astonishment.

   But Teresa looked at Baituo Kimura with a gentle smile on her mouth, opened her mouth, but still couldn't help asking, "Captain Kimura, what happened there?"

"what happened?"

  Kimura Baituo turned his head to look at the black tide that was swirling, and said with a smile, "Someone should be fighting, but it has nothing to do with us. We will leave here soon."

   "Leave here?" Someone was stunned, "But... aren't we here to detect?"

   As soon as he finished speaking, the others glared at him, who didn't want to leave this **** place quickly.

  The man also knew that he was talkative, and felt remorse in his heart, wishing to slap himself.

  Kimura Baituo smiled, and said without hesitation, "The detection mission is over. When you go back, everyone's rewards will be credited to the corresponding account."

ended?

   Everyone in the hunting squad was stunned.

  Why do they feel like it hasn't even started yet?

  For a while, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but no one questioned Kimura Baituo's words when facing the issue of life and death.

Gentleman Allenda squeezed out a smile on his face, and smoothed things over with a smile, "That's really embarrassing, but it's always good to be able to complete the task smoothly, by the way! Captain Kimura, how did you find us? The two of us Every day, someone tried to call in the communication voice for a fixed time period every day, but there was no response, and I didn't expect you to find us directly."

  The surroundings also became quiet, and they looked at Kimura Baituo curiously.

  Kimura Baituo smiled, turned his head to look at the vice-captain Yoshizu Ichiro and said, "I made an appointment with Yoshizu-kun to meet here after the event, so I just came to have a look. I didn't expect you to be here."

  Hearing Kimura Baituo's words, everyone's faces were stunned.

  Only the vice-captain Yoshitsu Ichiro couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he came to his senses and nodded with a stiff smile.

  Kimura Baituo gave him a gentle smile, and turned his head away.

  However, Yoshizu Ichiro looked at the back of Kimura Baituo, and a kind of absurdity and bewilderment gradually emerged in his heart.

  He and Kimura Baituo had agreed to meet at the meeting point after they were separated from the abandoned factory on the spot. That's right.

  But due to the increasing number of strange monsters wandering around, the factory they are in now is more than ten kilometers away from the abandoned factory he and Kimura Baituo agreed at that time.

So

   How did this man find them?

  Suddenly, Yoshitsu Ichiro seemed to have guessed something in his heart, and his face turned slightly pale.

  But there is still a layer of membrane that makes people unable to muster up the courage to pierce it. Maybe he still holds a glimmer of hope deep in his heart and is unwilling to believe his own speculation.

But no matter what, the return of Kimura Baituo immediately made the remaining members of the hunting team find their backbone, discussing how they should break through the siege of strange demons and survive the time before the border gate opens again. These last few days.

  Yoshizu Ichiro didn't speak, and looked at Kimura Hakutaku's back in a corner in a daze for a while, and when the latter noticed that his gaze had turned around, he quickly looked away in a panic.

  At this moment, Teresa suddenly remembered something.

  She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "By the way, Captain Kimura, have Shiroyasha and the others met on that sand island?"

   "Shiraiyasha?" Kimura Baituo tilted his head, his face seemed a little puzzled.

At that time, he and Sakamoto Zun were assisting in the defense. Relying on the unpredictable characteristics of Jinghua Shuiyue and the chaos created by "Water Explosion World", he first entered Mingsha Island to restrain his breath and hide. "Important" things don't know.

  So, under the narration of Allenda, Kimura Baituo finally understood what happened after he left.

  When he heard that "White Yaksha actually beheaded the Black Demon Shelby and Skyhawk Old Man Vincent when they were both wounded", he couldn't help being slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   Can you finally bear it?

At this time, facing Teresa's question, Kimura Baituo shook his head lightly, "I didn't see him on that sand island, didn't I find the body? Then he must have fled to other places, right? That guy... doesn't die so easily."

  Hearing Kimura Baituo's words, Allenda was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Huh? Team leader Kimura, are you familiar with Bai Yasha?"

  Higashi Nohara has been wearing a mask since he entered the hunting squad, and he is reticent. He also rejected the invitation of Allenda and Teresa to form a private alliance. It seems that he has not communicated much.

   Such a person, but after rising like a thunder in the battle the day before yesterday, killed two ninth-level powerhouses in a row, which immediately made his image even more mysterious.

In the first two days after entering the Boundary Gate, everyone got along with each other day and night. It is reasonable to say that they are familiar with each other, but after the jaw-dropping incident the day before yesterday afternoon, when the three words "White Yasha" were mentioned in the mouths of the people, it was inexplicable. Somewhat strange and a touch of alienation.

   Facing Allenda's questioning, Kimura Baituo smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not familiar, it's just a feeling. By the way, did you contact him in the team's communication?"

Yoshizu Ichiro had already adjusted from the strange feeling in his heart at this time, Kimura Baituo nodded and said, "I don't know if it is too far away, or his communicator was damaged during the battle. We have been unable to contact Shiroyasha-kun."

  Kimura Baituo nodded thoughtfully, raised his head and concluded with a smile, "Then continue to try to contact, don't worry too much, if he is still alive, there will always be a chance to see you again."

  Everyone fell silent after hearing the words.

  If they were alive, they would naturally have a chance to see each other again, but if they were dead, the back that turned the tide at that time might be the last side they saw.

   I don't know if I die in this "hell world", will I be "resurrected" again like those strange monsters, becoming a strange monster who only knows how to act according to emotions and instincts.

   "Will we become strange monsters if we die here?"

   "Uh, probably not."

  At the same time, Higashinohara was also a little stunned by Lucy's question near Pujiang Community.

  It is already evening, and the twilight is all together, and today is still a day of nothing.

  Lucy is planning to go further afield tomorrow to find the "Styx" recorded in the collection room of the National Library of the St. Malo Empire, which is their only way to become stronger.

  But today Lucy took the big man Daniel wandering around outside, Styx couldn't find it, but he had a lot of questions about this desolate and dead world.

Facing Lucy's question, Higashinohara explained to her as simply as possible, "The strange monsters we encountered were transformed into this form when they were alive under the impact of some special factors countless years ago. .”

   "Special factor." Lucy pondered for a while, then asked suddenly, "Is it the Styx?"

   Higashinohara glanced in surprise. He didn't expect Lucy, a "weird girl", to have good logical thinking ability. He nodded and said, "It should be right."

  The River Styx mentioned by Lucy is most likely the tide when the catastrophe of this world comes. From this point of view, her guess is not wrong.

   At this time, Daniel, who had been busy for a day, was a little bit dispirited. He didn't know anything, and he hadn't read the secret volume in the collection room. He went to Wano country after being fooled by Lucy.

  After hearing Higashinohara's words, Daniel couldn't help but said, "If this is really the case, then even if we found the 'Styx', wouldn't we all become strange monsters?"

  Of course Higashinohara knew where the so-called "Styx" was, but it was too dangerous there, so he didn't tell Lucy and Daniel yet in order to avoid troubles.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "That should be the original 'Styx', pure and without impurities. I don't know how many years have passed since now, and now 'Styx' is more of a It is equivalent to a 'hotbed' for nourishing and improving the ability."

   "Makes sense."

Lucy nodded, and suddenly asked curiously, "But what do you say is the essence of the Styx? Why can it nourish the awakened innate ability of our world? Could it be that our abilities were born from the Styx just like the abilities of these strange demons?" ?”

  Higashi Nohara was silent for a while, and slowly said, "The essence of the Styx may be some kind of metamaterial particles that can embody the spiritual world of creatures and distort the real world, which is equivalent to some kind of unknown 'catalyst'.

  The awakening of our innate ability in that world can be regarded as an extension of the spiritual world, um. From this point of view, the two do have some things in common. "

   After Higashinohara finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

  Of course he knew that the celestial beings invaded their world thousands of years ago, and humans suddenly awakened their abilities during the mighty war. He also guessed whether these celestial beings might come from the Seablue Star where he used to be.

   But without mentioning the Aquamarine star that Higashinohara is familiar with, there is no such species as the "Nine Racial Characteristics" of the Nine Masters of Heaven and Man.

   On the other hand, he has killed many celestial beings, including old people like Walker and Vincent. From their [character image] profiles, Nohara did not see any kindness towards the world like himself.

   In other words, the **** world of heaven and man is also extremely strange.

  Even if it is the records in the secret scrolls passed down by the Nine Great Masters of Heaven and Man for thousands of years, it is only some sporadic and trivial information learned through countless generations of people who discovered the [Boundary Gate] and immediately used the power of the Judgment Division to block it and then explore it.

  From this point of view, if the source is traced,

  The ability of their world does not seem to have the same source as the ability of this so-called [Hell World] that was spawned by the "outer tide".

  The only logical conjecture is that this "outer tide" originated from nowhere and disappeared. It may have invaded and destroyed more than one world.

   Higashinohara guessed in his heart, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

  Seeing that the next [Gate of Boundary] will open in three days, the problem of life and death in front of me has not been resolved, so I should leave this kind of investigation to the latecomers of professional archaeology

   Now, what he should consider is how to reasonably kill more strange demons to obtain more source points in the next few days while accompanying Lucy and Daniel in the process of "searching for the Styx".

  After several recent battles, Higashinohara fully felt the power of the purple epic ability.

  He now [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] has turned on the "Two Eyes and Two Paths", although there is no indication of the source of the next opening.

   But it is rare to have the opportunity to enter this **** world where strange monsters are rampant, so Higashinohara naturally needs to plan ahead and prepare early.

   And at the time of the three-day countdown in Higashinohara in the **** world.

   Wano Country, New Tokyo.

   In the early morning hours, when the city revived again.

  Countless residents of New Tokyo woke up and subconsciously touched their mobile phones in bed, but they were a little puzzled to find that they had received a text message sent by a communication operator on behalf of the municipal department.

  The contents of the text message probably said,

  The New Tokyo Sky Tree, which has been closed for many days, has finally been completely repaired and resumed operation under the supervision of several heavy industry companies and the supervision of the municipal department.

   Three days later,

   That is March 27th,

  This landmark building of Wano Country will be open to all people of Wano Country again!

   The last three days at the end of the month are hot, book friends and grandpas who have tickets, don’t forget to clear the warehouse~
