In the luxurious and empty interview room, the purple curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were opened from the middle to both sides. The dazzling light from the window shone into the room, passed through the heads of the three people with their backs to the black-robed adjudicator on the ground, and fell on Duan.
Sitting opposite Higashinohara.
While this light illuminated the interviewer's figure, it plunged the three people in black robes into dim shadows. The clever division of light and darkness made everyone who walked into the room involuntarily feel a sense of warmth.
This kind of psychological pressure comes from oneself, which also makes lying more difficult.
Behind the interview table that accommodated three people, the woman sitting in the middle with a charming posture and green pupils looked with interest at Higashinohara, who was sitting opposite under the pseudonym "Nishimiyai", and asked with a slight smile.
her first question.
Speaking of which, Nishimiyai is a boy in the same grade as Higashinohara, and he is also the general who regarded him as his "lifelong enemy" at the last exchange meeting.
It's just that when Higashinohara won the five-consecutive battle reward, the general who was thinking about turning the tide had no chance to play from the beginning to the end, but the "strategizing" look on his face left Higashinohara's impression.
deep impression.
Borrowing his name today is not a temporary idea.
In fact, Higashinohara's thoughts did not linger on these side details, and quickly returned to the question in front of him - that is, the question just asked by the woman with green vertical pupils sitting opposite him.
Do you believe in hell?
He was thinking about this question rapidly in his mind.
It's a bit like going back to a previous life when doing brain teasers, trying to find the "entry point" of this question and the "investigation point" of the questioner, which determines whether he should answer straightforwardly or use a kind of dialectical thinking.
Thinking about this, Higashinohara's eyes swept over the two men on both sides of the woman quietly. He had some impressions of the man sitting on the left edge. He vaguely remembered the bloody night under the sky tree last month.
The Tokyo Black Robe Enforcement Team is led by this man...
However, Higashinohara had no impression of the man on the other right, a man with a high nose and sharp eyes like a falcon.
However, subconsciously, he felt that this man exuded an extremely terrifying aura, so terrifying that his eyes did not even stop at him.
Higashinohara vaguely felt that as long as he focused on the other person for one more second, the other person would be able to notice him. This extremely keen insight even prevented him from immersing his consciousness in the space of the "Guilty Manual".
Even though there was a 60:1 time difference between the inside and outside of the "Guilty Manual", and ordinary people could hardly detect his trance, Higashinohara somehow felt that this man with sharp eyes like an eagle could detect his every move.
And Higashinohara, whose agility, strength and physique are close to the peak of the fifth level under normal circumstances, although he is already outstanding among superpowers, he may not be able to survive for even one second under the man in front of him.
This is a person who is even more extremely dangerous than that woman.
Higashinohara quickly made a judgment in his mind.
"Oh? Is this question difficult to answer?"
In the shadow behind the interview seat, a woman who also exuded a dangerous aura said with a smile, "You should be the one who has spent the longest time thinking among the dozen or so people we interviewed today. Actually, there is no need to worry about it. We don't conduct belief surveys. We just need to
Say what’s in your heart.”
"believe."
Higashinohara interrupted her.
"Why believe it?"
"I believe in the existence of everything unknown."
The woman smiled and nodded when she heard this, and continued, "Okay, then let's move on to the next question."
"What do you think is the nature of innate ability?"
"strength."
Higashinohara did not hesitate this time.
"That's it?"
"That's right."
"Very good answer."
The woman looked at Higashinohara with a smile, "I appreciate humans who also appreciate power. Although I can congratulate you for passing our interview to join our investigation that requires strict confidentiality, but the person next to me is a serious 'interviewer'
, so we still have to move on to the next question as usual."
"What do you think the essence of life is?"
Hearing the woman's half-smiling question, Higashinohara would have even suspected that a third-rate philosopher was asking him a question if he were not in the gloomy black mansion of the Adjudication Department.
"consciousness."
Higashinohara's answer was equally brief.
The woman sitting in the middle nodded and asked with a smile, "In other words, if they are conscious things, no matter what form they are, do you think they are a type of life?"
"That's right."
"Then how will you treat them."
"It depends on how they treat me."
"A very sensible answer."
The woman said with a smile, spinning the carbon pen in her hand in a circle, and continued, "Then let's move on to the next question, which can also be said to be the last question."
"The place where the Adjudication Division is going for this secret investigation may have some risks. It may be a place that you have never set foot in in your life, and you may not even have a second chance to set foot in it. We have warned you in advance. Once
If you agree, there is no way out. You should know that the word "regret" does not exist in the Adjudication Division. So now, do you still want to join this investigation?"
When the woman said that Yuzai Yuya said this, her eyes swept across Higashinohara's young face twice, and she couldn't help but admired from the bottom of her heart that it was rare for a human being to have such an outstanding appearance.
Of course, her focus was more on the change in Higashinohara's face when she said these words - as a result, she didn't see any change.
This is different from most of the humans interviewed earlier. If he doesn't lack the emotion of "fear", then he really isn't afraid.
Or maybe he had some special purpose that drove him to ignore the fear in front of him.
These three reasons, no matter which one they are, are the "useful human beings" that the Adjudication Division needs this time.
As for the other party’s purpose,
She doesn't care at all.
Regardless of the outcome of this investigation, the outcome for these humans has already been determined, isn't it?
only,
It's a bit of a pity.
No, this handsome human brother in front of him may be kept as a "toy" for a longer period of time. I believe no one will stop him, right?
With this thought in the woman's mind, the eyes in her green eyes gradually became brighter, and the corner of her mouth evoked a smile that chilled people's hearts.
"I choose to join."
The next second, Higashinohara's answer was still simple.
If he was still a little unsure at the beginning whether the investigation launched by the Adjudication Department in the Sky Tree was related to "different demons", then before passing by the woman, "Do you believe in hell?", "The nature of innate ability" and "The nature of life"
After these three questions, he was basically convinced that this investigation was 100% related to weird things like "weird demons".
For other people with abilities, alien demons may be harmful rather than beneficial. Even if they can profit from it, they will still have to lose some of their skin. However, to him, it is just a walking "experience bag".
As long as it can be killed, the [Guilty Manual] in Higashinohara's mind can automatically absorb unknown particles, gather them into ability fragments, and then directly decompose them into source power points to feed himself back - this is also the most convenient and effective way for him to obtain source power points at present.
.
In the past, Higashinohara's mentality was neither impatient nor impatient.
But when he walked into this room today and saw the woman with green eyes sitting in the middle and the man with a high nose and sharp eyes like a falcon beside him, Higashinohara felt the terrifying pressure like a stormy sea.
This made the sense of urgency in his heart become even stronger.
He has no doubt that with the abilities and skills he currently possesses, even with another [six-star] crime value, he may still be able to fight against that woman.
But once he faced that man with falcon-like eyes, he would have no ability to fight back.
Higashinohara already had some guesses in his mind - this should be the S-class high-end combat power above the A-class adjudicator of the Judgment Department!
Facing such a terrifying enemy, Higashinohara could only think of two ways, one is to "defeat ten enemies with one force" and use super high agility attributes to crush him.
However, the limitations of this method are also obvious.
Regardless of whether he obtained enough temporary attributes from these two people to crush them, even if his agility attributes really reached the level of crushing, he might fall below the [critical protection] and pass out at any time if his body cannot bear it.
After all, once the agility attribute reaches a certain level, every time it increases a little higher, if you want to bring it out, you will have to bear exponentially more pressure.
Since hard stacking agility is not feasible, facing the S-level high-end combat power of the Adjudication Division, Higashinohara's most effective way at present is to upgrade the [Mugo Itachi Style] eighth-level great swordsman-level sword type.
If he can use the sword type, secret skills and proficiency of secret mysteries of the [Mugo Itachi Style] through the source points indirectly obtained from the strange demon, and bring the three to a high level or even the grandmaster level possessed by the original owner, then this
It is undoubtedly a huge improvement for his combat power!
This is also the reason why Higashinohara chose to "join" so decisively. If you guessed correctly, the S-level high-end combat power of the two adjudication divisions in front of you appears in a small country in the East China Sea like Wano. Most of them are related to you.
They came here for the sake of the two adjudicators who died in the country of Wano.
Now that the enemy is clear and we are hidden, he can't always wait for the enemy to sort out the clues step by step, and finally wake up at the door of his house before trying to defend.
Then I'm afraid it's too late.
The best defense is offense.
Of course, the premise is that you have the capital to attack.
Therefore, Higashinohara must seize the opportunity of this investigation, collect as many "experience packs" as possible, and find opportunities to directly resolve existing risks when triggering the [Guilty Manual] mission. This is naturally the most ideal plan.
Higashinohara is not blindly optimistic.
If he wasn't more than half sure, he wouldn't choose to take action.
On the day when his identity was discovered accidentally by the other party, but he was unable to do what he wanted, the worst he could do was use the spirit of the "Master Sanwa" in his previous life and take Miria Nishimaru and his aunt to run away together with the bucket.
Where there is life, there is hope.
If you can't stay in Wano, go to the sea. If the sea is too chaotic and you can't adapt to it, go to the uninhabited island. No, becoming a savage is not a good choice or go to some countries on the world government's blacklist.
Like the Grand Duchy of Shayash?
There is still a battlefield where several revolutionary forces are fighting for sovereignty. It seems that there is a group of revolutionary forces supporting Colodia, the daughter of the Grand Duke, but I don't know if that group can survive the war.
