In the original investigation plan of the Adjudication Division, these hired people were pawns that could be discarded at any time, so there was no need to explain everything to them.
Gray Mine, the captain of the investigation team, also deeply agrees with this.
But when he actually passed through the gate of [Border] and came into contact with the "entity" of the strange demon for the first time in hell, he discovered that everything was not as simple as imagined. Even the green second-level strange demon could defeat them.
They were caught off guard and were completely different from the ability users in their world.
Not only are their talents not in the talent sequence list that they know, but they themselves are also weird and unpredictable. Although their appearance seems to be the same as that of humans, the vital points of human beings are not obvious in them. Maybe you
Even if you cut off the opponent's neck, you can still move.
Of course, what is even more terrifying is that they are completely different from the way human abilities are activated.
It's not so much urging, as it is an extension of their ability. This arm-like way of using their fingers fully maximizes their abilities in battle.
This is only the second level of strange demons
According to the information revealed by the big shots from the Adjudication Department in Beijing, Gray Mane clearly knew that although the Sky Tree [Border] gate they passed through also belonged to the green second level [Border], they could only pass through it under the restrictions of the laws of the border.
Sixth level and below level six ability users.
But this is not a copy of the game, but a real unknown area to be explored. It does not mean that on the other side of the green second-level [Border] gate, in that vast and desolate horrific hell, there are only
The second level of strange demons.
Otherwise, the Adjudication Division would not have sent them through the second-level [Border] and personally entered the so-called [Border] door and the "key" they were looking for in "Hell" to reversely search for seven people in the world that could accommodate them.
The [border] through which powerful people with higher abilities and above reach this place.
Therefore, in the next few days, in this strange, gloomy, and dangerous hell, it is entirely possible for them to break into the area where the blue high-risk third-level monster is located without noticing it, even more dangerous than the blue one.
A more terrifying existence
So now, what is before Gray Mane is very realistic.
Only by living can he complete the mission and go back to enjoy the good life in Wano Country. His mind suddenly changed slightly.
Even in order to survive, he must make changes.
A gloomy night wind blew through the empty abandoned streets.
The dilapidated high-rise buildings around the temporary camp can only be seen as vague outlines in the dim moonlight, like countless ancient ferocious beasts hidden in the darkness.
Everything that happened in the middle of the night was too sudden, and everyone who went out temporarily did not have time to prepare anything to keep out the cold. At this time, the non-physical system users present could not help but shiver from the cold.
At this moment, Gray Mine, the captain of the investigation team, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the middle-aged man named "Nanami Ken" standing opposite him who only had his left arm.
This man gave him the impression that he always wore a pair of sunglasses, but now that he took off his sunglasses, he revealed a pair of dead fish eyes that seemed a bit unlucky to him.
"I have no intention of hiding anything from you."
Even in the face of Chi Guoguo's public questioning, Gray Mane's tone was still very indifferent at this time.
He glanced at the hired humans in the investigation team, most of whom unnaturally avoided his gaze, and he couldn't help but nodded with a little satisfaction.
As the captain of the black-robed enforcement team of the Adjudication Department in Wano, even if he is just a squad leader, Gray Man enjoys and even becomes obsessed with the feeling of being awe-inspiring.
After a slight pause in his tone, Gray Mane spoke again, "I was planning to tell you this after the investigation started. The strange monster we just encountered was listed as a 'green second-level strange monster' in the alarm of the detector.
', which means that based on our ability levels, the strength of this type of strange demon is probably between the fourth level and the sixth level."
"But you can rest assured that the [border] gate we passed through is a second-level border. Second-level dangerous monsters like tonight are not common. As long as we don't walk around randomly, most of the strange monsters we encounter will
They are all common monsters at the first level of gray, and most of them are below level four. I believe you can easily handle them with your strength."
After hearing Gray Mane's explanation and relief, the nervous minds of the employed people relaxed a little, and they all let out a long sigh of relief.
If the building they evacuated tonight was filled with green monsters that were close to the peak of the fifth level like the weird woman they just met, then for everyone in the investigation team, most of them were below the sixth level.
I no longer think about going back to get things back.
However, Nanami Kenjiro didn't seem very satisfied with this answer. He frowned slightly on his expressionless face and said, "What about the second level and above? Are there any supernatural demons above the second level here?
?”
In an instant, the slightly relaxed atmosphere around him suddenly became solemn again.
The green monsters at the second level all have the strength of the sixth level, but what about the ones above the second level? Thinking about it seems to make people feel a little numb.
It’s not like there’s no law and morality here.
It's Chi Guoguo's way of preying on the weak.
Gray Mane's answer did not disappoint everyone. He glanced at Nanami Kenjiro who asked again and said in a calm tone, "If we encounter a third-level blue high-risk strange demon, we will
There is only one thing to do."
Nanami Kenjiro did not ask further questions and quietly waited for the other party's answer.
However, the human Zhongyuanwen hired by the investigation team immediately approached him and asked, "What's the matter, Captain?"
"Evacuate."
Gray Mane narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice:
"The third level of blue high-risk strange monsters, according to our ability levels, are in the seventh to eighth levels, which are equivalent to absolute ability users. I believe you have all heard of the horror of absolute ability users. I am afraid that none of us
Have you ever faced someone with absolute ability of the seventh or even eighth level?"
At the end of the sentence, his tone became sarcastic, as he actually needed to answer such a stupid question himself.
But at this time, Gray Mane didn't know if it was his own illusion. He clearly noticed that the boy "Nishimiyai" who killed the strange demon woman tonight seemed to raise his head inexplicably when he said the last words.
He glanced at him.
But when he glanced over, the other party had already withdrawn his gaze.
What does this guy mean?
Do you think you are swollen just because you solved the second-level green monster tonight?
Hahaha. Guys like this really don’t know the terror of seventh-level absolute ability users. I’m afraid they won’t even have time to cry when they truly experience it one day.
Sure enough, for humble creatures like humans, strength is never an obstacle to their survival.
Ignorance and stupidity are.
Gray Mane sneered in his heart, but said calmly, "I say this because I want to tell you that if you encounter a second-level strange demon like tonight next time, no one should panic.
Surround and kill him as much as possible, otherwise more strange demons may be provoked."
Provoke more strange monsters?
Gu Ping
After hearing Gray Mine's words, Higashinohara couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.
However, Nanami Kenjiro stared directly into the other person's eyes again and asked, "You mean that the strange demons will not all attack us alone like they did tonight. They can be connected with each other and even have independent consciousness."
."
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard his words, and immediately felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were sleeping in a deep mountain forest at night, and pairs of green eyes lit up in the darkness around them.
The strange demon tonight has been a bit unbearable for them. If those strange demons really surrounded them in an organized manner like Gray Mane's, and there was even a most powerful brain hiding behind them, then it would be reduced to "
They, who are "prey", are really in danger of death this time.
Gray Mine did not answer directly. He just glanced at Nanami Kenjiro and asked, "If everything is clear, do you still need to investigate?"
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
But in the next second, Gray Mane changed his subject and continued, "But according to the information currently available to the Judgment Division, it is easier for green second-level monsters to give birth to monsters with independent consciousness. Of course, ordinary gray monsters are more likely to be born."
It cannot be completely ruled out among the first-level strange demons, but there are relatively few of them."
"As for the specifics of the conscious and unconscious demons, we still need to investigate, but you can probably guess that compared to the unconscious demons, the demons with independent consciousness are more powerful.
difficult to deal with”
No one asked Gray Man where the unheard-of intelligence over the years came from. In the eerie black building of the Judgment Department in the Kyoto Metropolitan Area, even if one day it was revealed that a strange demon was locked downstairs, it would not be a surprise.
.
At this time, what really made everyone feel chilled was when they heard Gray Mane say so much information again, and all the people in the Adjudication Department in the investigation team looked calm and composed.
Obviously, they knew this before setting off.
This also means that among the fourteen people in the investigation team, they are only ordinary hired human superpowers, and they were completely unaware of the dangers that could kill them before setting off.
To put it simply, this is a typical case of being sold and kept in the dark.
You work hard for others,
But they don’t regard you as one of their own at all.
But if you think about it carefully, haven't the Adjudication Departments stationed in the Country of Peace always been treated like this?
It was not the people in the Adjudication Division who were at fault.
It's them who are wrong.
From their current world, through the gate of [Border], and coming to this eerie "hell" for the first time, they mistakenly gave birth to the illusion that they are all "one of their own"
At this time, even Ji Yuanwen, who wanted to perform well in front of the people of the Adjudication Division, could not help but change his expression after he realized what he was doing.
But the next second, the thought that emerged in his mind was not like other people secretly scolding the Judgment Division, but gritted his teeth and secretly said that he must perform well in this mission.
One day, he will become the true "one of our own" in the Adjudication Division.
On the desolate and strange streets, the dark wind blowing from nowhere was whimpering softly. In the second half of the night, everyone quietly passed by these messy thoughts and light sleeps from time to time.
About four hours later, when the time hand on the watch was about 12 midnight, the eastern sky in the "hell" where we were now quietly revealed a pale fish belly white.
Gradually, the surrounding light began to become brighter.
The tactical lights that had been on all night beside everyone were turned off one after another. Now they still don't know what will happen to the residential building that was evacuated last night during the day, and whether they can get back the supplies they carried, so they must save what they have on hand.
In temporary residence,
Higashinohara sat at the edge, leaning against the wall.
When the surrounding light gradually became brighter, he gently put his hand into his clothes. There was the diary with yellowed and black pages that he had picked up in the strange woman's room last night.
Gray Mine, the captain of the investigation team, gave a somewhat vague answer to Nanami Kenjiro's question last night. After what happened last night, no one knew whether the other party was really unclear or fake.
But Higashinohara remained silent last night.
Because the diary he picked up and the words in it that only he knew were undoubtedly a way for him to understand the so-called "hell" and "devils" faster than anyone else.
At this time, after confirming that no one was paying attention here, Higashinohara took a deep breath.
He was seen facing the crowd, and he calmly took out the diary with a yellowish cover from his clothes and opened the cover of the diary. The name on the title page made him slightly startled.
Ma Baoli?
The name seems familiar.
Higashinohara pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of it.
When they just entered the residential building in the "Pujiang Community" last night, one of the messages posted by the neighborhood committee on the bulletin board not far from the guard's reception room was "Congratulations to Mr. XXX (blurred font)"
Happy wedding to Ms. Ma Baoli" message.
The probability of an old neighborhood having the same name should be low.
Could that be her?
If so, why did this woman named "Ma Baoli" look like that? Last night, the other party's face was messed up and her facial features were bloody and bloody. It's still shocking to think about it now.
Obviously not caused after death.
What happened to her?
With such doubts, Higashinohara gently turned the title page.
"April 6th, cloudy.
I’m newlywed and moving, I’m so tired and so happy^_^!”
