Chapter 144 Prelude to the battle under the sky tree
Chapter 144 The prologue of the battle under the sky tree (two-in-one, please vote for me)
Year 1122 of the Tianyuan calendar.
January 27th.
There are four days left until the end of the month.
In the end, the Adjudication Division in New Tokyo was unable to give any "reasonable explanation" for the injury incident of a student from the exchange club of Takehara Minami Private Academy in Kyoto.
In fact, they had no time to respond to the questions raised by Takehara Minami Private Academy.
In the past few days, the Judgment Division of New Tokyo, under the supervision of the special investigation team headed by the Seventh Judgment Commander Gaius Rhine, who was airborne from above, is conducting a frantic raid on the Night Fury Revolutionary Army, the underground revolutionary organization in New Tokyo.
You must know that the Night Fury Revolutionary Army takes an underground route, and most of its strongholds are hidden in ordinary-looking ordinary houses in New Tokyo, as well as in some public places similar to bars and discotheques.
Although every time the Adjudication Division takes action, the third investigation team helps evacuate the crowd in advance and sets up a cordon around the area, but doing so many times still arouses dissatisfaction among countless people.
Due to pressure from the World Government, Wano's official government and the six major TV stations were unable to report on this at all and could only speak vaguely.
But now is the Internet age. All kinds of information spread so fast on the Internet that you don’t even have time to block it. As a result, many angry young people on the Internet are protesting crazily in major social forums!
"What do these people in the Adjudication Division want to do? Are they crazy?"
"Eliminate unstable factors in our society? Ridiculous, I think they are the biggest unstable factors!"
"Yesterday, my mother, who was paralyzed in bed, did not receive the evacuation news. The arrest by the Judgment Division directly blew up the apartment building where my mother lived. The Metropolitan Police turned a blind eye to my angry prosecution and said that the evacuation had been notified in advance. Please
Please help forward it, I want the Prime Minister to see it!"
"I feel sorry for my friend upstairs, but I think the Prime Minister is not completely unaware of all this, right?"
"Damn it! Isn't there anyone who can take care of those heavenly beings?"
"."
Although these comments only exist for a short period of time, they will be deleted by the Internet Supervision Department on the grounds of "announcement of false information and malicious incitement of public sentiments".
But the next crop appeared quickly.
Some people also saw the news last night. The talented swordsman Momomiya Izaya from one of the three major temples in Kyoto, Momotiya Izaya, will have a life-or-death battle with the Seventh Judiciary under the New Tokyo Sky Tree at the end of this month.
You must know that Kyoto in Wano belongs to the Kansai region, and Neo-Tokyo belongs to the Kanto region. The former has preserved its thousand-year history and culture, while the other is the center of the national economy and politics.
You think I'm pretentious, I think you're vulgar, and we don't like each other.
But this time, Momotiya Izaya from Kyoto received unprecedented support from the Internet.
Netizens in New Tokyo even spontaneously organized themselves into Momotiya Izaya's "Internet Support Team", and countless voices gathered into one voice to support his life and death fight under the Sky Tree.
Although in reality, it may be difficult for you to get someone on the street to stand up against the arbitral tribunal. But on the Internet, where the real-name system has not yet become popular, everyone can become an "anti-arbitrator pioneer" and curse loudly every time something happens.
The evils and injustices of world government and the Judgment Division.
Just like in the classroom of Class F in the first year, Yuuto Aida, who is sitting in the back row of Higashinohara, has registered more than 40 accounts since last night. The screen of his mobile phone is almost exploded by him, and he is furiously complaining on a social forum.
It is about the tyrannical and evil behavior of the Adjudicator in New Tokyo these days.
After class at noon, Yuuto Aida suddenly pushed Higashinohara, "Higashinohara, lend me your phone."
Higashinohara turned his head and glanced at Yuuto Aida, who had dark circles and red eyes. He probably stayed up late last night. Hearing this, he asked in surprise, "What do you want from my cell phone?"
Yuuto Aida was so angry that he said, "My access address has been blocked and I can't register a trumpet account."
"So you just want to use my mobile phone to log in?" Higashinohara asked.
"That's right."
Yuto Aida patted Higashinohara on the shoulder and said passionately, "Higashinohara, this country needs us to make our voices heard. We can no longer continue to be the silent majority."
"Then what?"
Higashinohara suddenly asked.
Aida Yuuto was stunned for a moment, "Then?"
Higashinohara smiled and said, "What happens after you make the sound?"
Aida Yuuto was immediately asked by Higashinohara.
It seems that he hasn't thought about this problem yet. He just feels that it feels good to face the adjudication department online. Every time he is banned, it arouses his indomitable fighting spirit, but he has never thought about what he has done.
Does all this have any practical significance?
Hearing Higashinohara's question at this time, Yuuto Aida thought very seriously for a moment, and suddenly found something boring:
His voice on the Internet seems to be
No. It doesn't make any sense at all.
The current situation of Wano Country is that, regardless of the World Government or the Adjudication Division, at least a small country like Wano Country located in the East China Sea has a relatively stable and peaceful living space among the more than 300 allied countries.
Just like the cotton-padded clothes worn by people in the ice and snow, the cotton-padded clothes may have thorns stuck in them, and there are heavy lead weights stuffed in the cotton. It is painful to wear on the body, and the lead weights are even so heavy that it is difficult to straighten one's back.
But cotton-padded clothes give people the most intuitive feeling. After all, they can keep out the cold and bring warmth.
At most, people will wear cotton-padded clothes and take to the streets to curse each other about the quality of the cotton-padded clothes.
But who would be willing to take off their cotton-padded clothes and be naked in the ice and snow, and then go looking for a bonfire to survive?
Yuuto Aida did not realize this.
He just thought about how people had been scolding each other on the Internet for so many years, but their lives were still going on so dull, nothing had changed, and the whole person suddenly became boring.
Higashinohara smiled inwardly when he saw this.
He had seen the style of the keyboard warrior in his previous life, so he was relatively indifferent to this. He changed the topic and asked, "Do you know what the format of the team competition and individual competition of the exchange meeting at the end of the month will be?"
Higashinohara was "moved with affection and lured with profit" by his class teacher, Tatogawa Asuka, and agreed to participate in the school selection competition, but he had not yet had a chance to understand the specific content.
Yuuto Aida, a muscular man, has a bit of a gossip gene. He who was still sluggish immediately cheered up and said, shaking his two thick and black eyebrows, "You are asking the right person about this, of course I know."
Saying this, Yuuto Aida immediately started to popularize Higashinohara's science.
It turns out that the exchange meeting between New Tokyo and Kyoto Takehara Minami has a history of almost 40 years. At the beginning, the rules changed every year, and later they were gradually improved and developed into the current competition system.
Although Yuuto Aida did not have the courage to participate in the selection competition, he learned about the competition system of the exchange meeting with great interest.
The first, second and third grade students competed against each other.
Divided into team battles and individual battles.
Individual battles are very simple. One round determines the outcome. If you win the game, you can advance to the next round.
The team competition is not too complicated, and follows the "rising cut" system of the most anticipated [New Tokyo Academy Power Battle] team competition held in Koshien every August.
To put it bluntly, it's a bit like a fighting arcade game, with two teams of five competing against each other.
As long as the first person sent out keeps winning, he can fight to the end.
Having said this, Aida Yuuto's face showed a look of leisurely fascination, and he said to Higashinohara with joy, "If you let me participate, I will definitely participate in the team competition?"
"Why?" Higashinohara asked curiously.
"You think so"
Yuuto Aida said enthusiastically:
"It would be so domineering to block five with one and kill five people in a row in the team competition. If you are confident, you can even kill ten people or fifteen people. Anyway, in the [Super Battle] every year in Koshien, those who killed ten people in a row would be so domineering.
Everyone will become the center of attention and be sought after by reporters and media, right! I remember that the official also set up a 'fight reward' specifically for this."
Yuuto Aida couldn't stop talking when he started talking.
Although Higashinohara's ears were a bit tortured, he understood the situation better.
Anyway, he signed up for both the first-year team competition and the individual competition at this exchange meeting on Tadokawa Asuka's "suggestion". He said he wanted to win double honors for Takehara Minami of New Tokyo, but in his heart he was thinking about both.
A share of honor also corresponds to a double share of bonuses.
At noon, Higashinohara did not go to the school cafeteria, and Nishimaru Miria brought a bento made by Colodia.
Across the window, the two of them were sharing together in the sunshine as they always did. While eating, Miria Nishimaru glanced at Higashinohara and said that she also wanted to participate in the first-grade competition.
As a dual-talented person, Nishimaru Miria has more unique advantages than others, even as much as some of the Celestial Races.
It's just that her abilities and talents are at the top of the list, and it's not easy to level up her abilities.
The main fighting method is the telekinesis ability [Wang Yu] of talent sequence 45, which controls objects to fight. The higher sequence [Listen] is mostly used as an auxiliary skill. In more than a month, her ability has only reached the second level and level 4.
In fact, objectively speaking, her improvement speed is quite fast. In one month, she almost completed the improvement of an ordinary ability person for one academic year, reaching the level of being promoted to the second grade of Takehara Minami. She is fully worthy of the "Takehara" title she received when she was specially recruited.
"The brightest rising star in the South".
It’s just that the “star of tomorrow” is “tomorrow” after all.
At this exchange meeting, the representatives selected by both sides were all the elites among the elites. It was not uncommon for a first-year student to have the strength of an ordinary third-year student. Nishimaru Miria's second-level 4th level was not outstanding among them.
However, there has been no news from Tokugawa Ritora, and Nishimaru Miria is now eager to grow. She seems to be very concerned about this exchange meeting and is eager to participate.
Higashinohara thought for a while.
It seems like there is no problem.
This is indeed a good training opportunity for her. After all, there is a difference between real combat and the afternoon combat class at Takehara Minami Academy.
A total of five people were selected in the first grade, and his agility has now exceeded 50 points, which is estimated to be more than enough to pass the selection based on the ability level of [Shadow Instant].
If Miria Nishimaru also passes the selection, he will just need to take more care of her then.
In the next few days, while Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria were preparing for the trials, someone was also silently preparing for a certain thing.
He is the most outstanding scavenger in the Night Fury Revolutionary Army. Nanami Kenjiro narrowly escaped death at the cost of an arm in the explosion.
Of course, the role of scavenger has become a thing of the past.
Now, he has become an outsourcer for an outsourcing company responsible for the daily maintenance of the New Tokyo Sky Tree radio tower. After get off work, he often wears a yellow safety helmet and walks around the radio tower.
When some co-workers saw him like this, they would occasionally joke and say something like, "You'll want to vomit when you see this after you've been working in this wonder for a long time."
Nanami Kenjiro smiled in response to this ridicule.
To be honest, even though he had only been employed for a few days, Kenjiro Umi, a disabled repairman who lost an arm, not only did not suffer from ostracism. On the contrary, because he had a bright mind, he knew everything once he got started, he worked hard, and he was gentle and generous when taking care of others, which made his co-workers
They have great senses about him.
But few people will notice that when this man stands in the wind under the tower with a cigarette in his mouth after get off work, he takes a puff of wind, and the wind ruffles his weed-like hair, and the eyes in his covered eyes But there is something like the hot magma rolling and flowing in Naraku Prison.
Just a weak spark can ignite an explosion that shocks the world.
In fact, in such a short period of time, Nanami Kenjiro, who lost an arm, did not recover very well from his injury.
But ever since he saw the news about the life-and-death fight under the Sky Tree, Nanami Kenjiro left the hospital secretly prepared for him by the Night Fury Revolutionary Army and found a job as a maintenance worker alone.
Revenge cannot be waited for.
Revenge is to pounce on the enemy when the flames in your chest are burning. Even if you turn into ashes and dust, you will drag the other party and you into the abyss of Naraku Prison.
Nanami Kenjiro thinks so.
He is also preparing in this way.
What Nanami Kenjiro didn't know was that in a different place in the same city, there was a man wearing black kendo uniform sitting silently on the dojo floor.
The long sword with the pattern of "Lions Roaring Under the Moon" printed on the blade lay across Momomiya Izaya's lap, and the blade of the sword was faintly exuding a strange black mist.
At some point, a slender blood opening opened in his palm. He clenched it tightly and hung it over the blade. Gurgling red blood fell from his palm to the long knife on his knee.
In the blink of an eye, the blood was swallowed up and disappeared by the strange black mist, and the strong heartbeat in the ears became more powerful. It seemed that a strange sound could be vaguely heard in the mind, coming near and far away.
"Blood Feed"
"I want more!"
I still remember that Momotiya Izaya once told the principal Kyogoku Kawamizu that the soul of his father Momotiya Haruzo is entrusted in this sword, urging him to avenge him every day and night.
But this is just a way to convince yourself.
From the beginning.
He knew it couldn't be his father.
But what does that matter?
Momomiya Linya opened his eyes, his eyes were calm and calm, and he silently pushed the knife on his knee into the sheath.
He looked up at the calendar on the wall.
Year 1122 of the Tianyuan calendar.
January 30th.
tomorrow,
It's the last day of this month.
January 31st, Monday.
The weather turns from sunny to cloudy.
The Sky Tree is located in Sumida Ward. It was originally built to replace Tokyo Tower with a 600-meter radio tower and serve as a signal transmission station for New Tokyo's digital wireless television.
But after the construction was completed, it was discovered that other countries on the two continents did not have such high-level radio towers at all. The Sky Tree has become a wonder attraction, attracting countless domestic and foreign tourists every year.
Today, the business district under the Sky Tree Tower has become a large-scale comprehensive entertainment and business district covering several blocks. The area radiated by the business district is roughly equivalent to a small town, which has greatly promoted re-employment and employment in Sumida District, New Tokyo.
economic development.
The competition site set up by the Takehara Minami Private Academy Exchange Meeting is located in the largest shopping mall under the Sky Tree - New Tokyo Solama Pedestrian Mall.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky was a little gloomy.
The weather station in New Tokyo said there would be no rain today, but the weather station in New Tokyo was never under the control of the weather station, so it was in vain.
The bus driving on the expressway was very smooth and quiet. All the outstanding elites selected from New Tokyo Takehara Minami Private Academy were on this bus. Occasionally, slight conversations could be heard.
Miria Nishimaru sat next to Higashinohara by the window, her delicate little face pressed against the glass and looking at the receding scenery on the roadside. From time to time she turned her head and glanced at Higashinohara who had his eyes closed and was meditating. Her little face was full of happiness and satisfaction.
's smile.
When she turned her gaze out of the car window again, Higashinohara also opened her eyes, glanced at Nishimaru Miria who was standing on her toes slightly, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
To be honest, when he participated in the selection competition, he met many outstanding first-year students, most of whom were from the Trinity Club in the academy. He originally thought that Nishimaru Miri might not have a chance this time.
Unexpectedly, when she encountered an opponent in a difficult situation during the trial, her high-risk spiritual ability Listening, with talent level 28, worked wonders. Although it failed to interfere with her opponent's fighting spirit, it made her seem to predict what her opponent was thinking in advance.
Every time, he is one step ahead of others, and the weak defeats the strong.
After two consecutive days of selection, Miria Nishimaru passed the selection by luck and became the No. 5 second forward in the first-year team competition of Takehara Minami Private Academy in New Tokyo.
The other four positions are the forward at position 4, the backbone at position 3, the deputy at position 2, and the general at position 1, Higashinohara, who was a little more hands-off during the selection and served as the deputy at position 2.
The general is a boy named Nishimiyai. He is one of the first-year Class A students who took the final exam for two consecutive semesters. His strength level is probably close to level 3 and 4. He is also a first-year student with the ability of an ordinary third-year student.
A talented genius.
The other two forwards and backbones are a boy and a girl respectively. The boy's name is Kenta Iwade, and the girl's name is Doyama Harumi. Both of them were elites discovered and invited by the Trinity Association as soon as they entered school.
Regarding this team configuration, Higashinohara doesn't have much to worry about.
He came to participate in the exchange meeting under the sky tree this time, partly because he and Tatagawa Asuka said he came for the generous prize for the winner;
The other part wanted to see the life and death fight after the exchange meeting.
Higashinohara was very curious about what kind of strength the people sent by the Judgment Division had after killing the Eleventh Judiciary on the Emperor's Birthday. Will Momomiya Rin, who led the Kyoto exchange meeting, be his opponent?
?
What is the past between the two of them?
Higashinohara was not naive enough to really think that, as he said in the interview, Momotiya Rinya decided to challenge the seventh adjudicator of the Judgment Division in order to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship.
The three words "Judgment Division" are full of soul-stirring power even in Kyoto. Normal people would have no time to walk around it. Who would be so stubborn as to directly bump into it?
But after experiencing the near-death victory at Baiyu Plaza last time, Higashinohara made up his mind - no matter what the outcome of the life-and-death fight, he would never take action rashly today.
Anyway, the other party is not here for him.
Even if the positions are tit for tat, there is a high probability that they will bump into each other again in the future.
But for him now
Time is strength, and persistence is victory.
Today’s update is a bit late~
Quanqin bathing o(╥﹏╥)o
Is there any kind-hearted book friend, grandpa, who can comfort me every night with monthly tickets?
