Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

"Run?"

Hearing this, Crocodile's eyes moved slightly, unable to figure out what Robin meant.

Is she saying tell the people in the room to run?

No, not like that.

Crocodile clearly heard what Robin said.

The archaeologist who is proficient in ancient characters is saying that the characters on the wall of this room have only one meaning——

run!

Thinking of this, Crocodile suddenly turned his head and looked around.

On the premise of knowing the accurate semantics, it is not difficult to deduce the meaning of the text according to the semantics.

The really difficult point of studying ancient characters is actually starting from scratch without any foundation.

——This is of course impossible, so the world government will pass the test and use the demon-slaying order to completely erase O'Hara.

As long as the "foundation" is erased, future generations will not be able to build "houses" on it, and it will be impossible to continue research on ancient texts and historical texts.

This is why Nicole Robin will become a thorn in the side of the world government.

In today's sea, the only person who has the ability to build the "foundation" of historical research is Nicole Robin!

...

And now.

This top archaeologist who has the ability to reconstruct historical research is trembling with fear from the "ancient text" she studies day and night.

Although he can barely maintain an elegant expression, Luo Wen's domineering look has no way for Robin to gain a stable sense of security.

Her body trembled slightly, coupled with the influence of Hailoushi, she seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

This feeling is completely incomprehensible to others.

Just imagine, if a person is locked in a room full of engraved patterns, that person may not feel anything.

But if you put a person in a room with nothing around but "Kill you" written all over the walls, then the person only needs to be alone for a while before they may fall into a state of insanity.

For Nicole Robin, she is suffering like this now!

But...the situation seems to be much more than that.

To be honest, Nicole Robin has been wandering the sea since she was a child, and has experienced many hellish situations, and ordinary psychological pressure can't shake her at all.

The reason why there is such a strong reaction now is, on the one hand, because of the suppression of the devil fruit ability users by a large number of Hailoushi, and on the other hand, it is because of the words themselves engraved on the walls of Hailoushi.

Words - there is power.

This power exists in two aspects. On the one hand, it refers to the information conveyed by the words, and on the other hand, it refers to the emotions conveyed by the "patterns" formed by the words.

Because the essence of the so-called "characters" is nothing more than patterns with special meanings, which are of the same origin as paintings.

Paintings can convey certain emotions, and so can words.

—Of course, the kind of text that only exists in printed newspapers does not have this function.

All in all, all the scrawled characters inscribed on the stone walls of Hailou were carved by hand, which vaguely reveals the mood of the sculptors at that time.

Is that a...fear?

No.

There is still a way to overcome the fear, but the mood of those character sculptors is a kind of despair after realizing that "that fear cannot be overcome"!

"These people... What have these people experienced?"

Robin's body trembled more and more violently. Even under Luo Wen's domineering look, she couldn't bear the mental pressure from this room at all.

It seemed that because of Robin's influence, even the other people around him, even Crocodile, felt something was wrong.

It seems that there is something in the dark here, which is affecting everyone's emotions.

"Damn it, are those messy words?"

Crocodile had never liked this feeling, so he swung the gravel in his hand and slashed at the wall.

boom!

Grit rolls.

And when the surrounding smoke and dust dissipated, the original wall appeared in front of everyone intact.

Thinking about it, this is the stone wall of the sea building, and it seems that it has been specially treated, and a mere devil fruit ability user can't do anything to it.

"Tsk, this place is really unpleasant..."

Crocodile frowned and lit himself a cigar to relax.

But what he didn't expect was that Luo Wen suddenly walked past him and came to the wall.

Against the strong pressure brought by the sea tower stone wall to the devil fruit ability user, he forcibly touched the wall with one hand, followed by the second hand.

Where the left hand touches are those scribbled words, and where the right hand touches are those neat questions.

Gradually, Luo Wen's face became weird.

"These scribbled words were indeed engraved on it later, and those neat questions should have originally existed on the Hailou Stone."

Crocodile nodded slightly, thinking: "The current room looks like it has been maliciously destroyed by someone, and the things stored in it may have been taken away."

Such speculation is not unreasonable.

The Hailoushi passageway of this scale is nothing more than this, and there is even this secret room made of Hailoushi.

With such a handwriting, the things that can match it are naturally extraordinary.

But now the room is empty, and even the remaining text is scratched with large and small scrawled handwriting.

It may be difficult to understand the whole picture based on the few words left on the wall...

This is undoubtedly a regrettable thing.

But Rowan continued to observe the surrounding situation.

After a while, he slowly speculated: "Perhaps, this room was used to preserve these neat words from the beginning?"

"Um?"

Crocodile didn't quite understand what Rowan meant.

On the other side, Robin was already dying, and subconsciously put his hand on Crocodile's shoulder, panting heavily.

She was planning to go out for a rest, but suddenly felt that the reassuring atmosphere around her was much stronger, which greatly relieved her discomfort.

Unsurprisingly, it was Ryan Rowan.

Under Luo Wen's control, more domineering aura poured out, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in the room.

Rowan turned to look at the two of them, and explained:

"Eight hundred years ago, the people of Shandora built this sea tower stone chamber, and carved those neat characters into it."

"But after the characters were carved, the people of Shandora discovered that these characters would bring unimaginable pressure to people."

"So, they sealed the place and destroyed the complete text with scribbled scratches."

"—how about this inference?"

After listening to Rowan's words, Crocodile shook his head, "Not really, there are many loopholes."

"but……"

Crocodile changed the subject and realized the key information from Rowan's mouth.

The strange sense of oppression in this room does not come from those scribbled words that look terrible, but from those neat words covered with scratches!

Those words are the key to this room!
