"Wow! Is this where the Rhine family's mad dog is buried?"
Wano Country, New Tokyo.
Four uninvited guests broke in at the foot of the closed Sky Tree at some point, and a woman wearing pink sunglasses said this in a somewhat exaggerated tone.
But if you compare the various destroyed buildings and public facilities on the surrounding streets, the street lights and the guardrails of the green belt are bent like noodles, and the lichen on the road seems to have been repeatedly plowed by the claws of some giant beast.
.I’m afraid I should have known that what was even more exaggerated was the scene around me.
Since the people from the Adjudication Division took over the blockade under the Sky Tree from the Metropolitan Police Department, all the construction teams that entered the street have been expelled. However, with the opening of the business district at the foot of the Sky Tree delayed indefinitely, it seems that this place has also
There is no need to rush to repair and resume work.
On the deserted road, Vice Captain Buck held fried chicken and beer in his hand. He had fallen in love with the fried food here since he came to Wano Country, and even planned to return to the sea to open a fried chicken club in the future.
Vice-captain Buck took a big bite of the crispy golden fried chicken, glanced sideways at Rossetti, captain of the Corleone Pirates' first division, and said nonchalantly, "It's just this level of destruction, I can do it too."
Do it, you will make us look embarrassed by making such a fuss."
"Shut up! Of course a bear is good at digging holes."
Rossetti uttered angrily, turned to look at the unusual man wearing an ordinary gray coat next to her, and couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, the Judgment Department organized an investigation team to explore that ghost place. Those old immortals from Beijing should be behind. It seems that those old immortals have not given up the idea of using external forces to break through, but I heard that the second level [border]
The gates can only accommodate sixth-level ability users at most, do you think they can really find the third-level blue [boundary]?"
After hearing the woman's words, Hoover Corleone looked at the towering sky tree not far away and squinted his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face.
This man seems to be unmoved by anything he encounters.
"[Border] exists on the basis of strange demons. If you want to find the third level [Border], you must first find the third level strange demon. That is the key to opening the door to the new [Border].
"Hoover Corleone narrowed his eyes and said with a chuckle.
"But I'm always a little worried about Xiao Hela. Even if the child really finds the third-level strange demon territory, she can't get the 'key' with her strength, right? Alas, I really don't know why the child is so persistent.
Join the investigation team of the Judgment Department." Rossetti said with some regret at the end. She was originally planning to take Hela with her to train her.
"Everyone has their own choice. Hela is a smart child."
Hoover Corleone paused and continued, "The people of the Department of Adjudication have been chasing the [border] for more than a thousand years. Although I think the building of the Department of Adjudication is like a coffin no matter how it is built, the people living in the coffin
After all, they are not all a bunch of idiots. In the past thousand years, they have naturally researched something that can get the key to open the door."
"Can you get something that opens the door, for example?" Rossetti asked curiously.
Hoover Corleone seemed to be lost in memories, "For example, a few years ago we 'accidentally' found records on a scientific research ship of the Adjudication Division that was shipwrecked at sea. Do you still remember the word 'anchor'?"
"Anchor point?"
Rossetti hesitated for a moment, and suddenly there was an impression in his mind. He recalled, "The research records of the Adjudication Department seem to have said that by burying stable spatial anchor points, unstable spatial channels can be guided to reorganize.
On the basis of this, we try to form a new space channel.”
Next to him, Vice Captain Buck heard a lot of nouns and suddenly felt a little confused. He scratched his head and ignored it, continuing to enjoy his fried chicken and beer.
Anyway, he has only one purpose in coming to Wano Country this time, and that is to kill that "roasted chicken" from the Adjudication Department!
However, Ryunosuke Kamiya, the three-sword swordsman of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates, who has been following the three of them these days and acts as a tour guide to the country of Wano, heard their unabashed conversation, but couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.
With a look on his face, he could only sigh in his heart that the West Sea is a sea area that can compete with the world government. Even a big pirate force on the sea can know so many secrets that he has never heard before.
Hoover Corleone still had no intention of hiding from others, and spoke in an unhurried tone about certain truths that exist in the dark side of the world that few people in the world know:
"The formation of [Border] is random and unstable. Researchers from the Judgment Department speculated that the strange demons turned into the purest unconscious ability bodies and wandered around their territories after they lost their entities in the 'hell' where they lived.
Once the purity reaches a certain critical value, it will penetrate into the outside world."
An idea flashed in Rossetti's mind, "Osmotic pressure is just like when vegetables are soaked in salt water, the water in the vegetables will be separated out."
"Nice metaphor."
Hoover Corleone smiled and nodded, and continued, "This kind of penetration can only pass through the purest ability bodies, so the strange demons that appear in our world have never had entities. At most, they have descended into the world.
Humans or other artifacts, but humans in our world can reverse through the unstable [border] formed by infiltration and reach the other end of 'hell' through the boundary gate."
Hoover Corleone said with some sigh, "I have to admire the persistence of the Adjudication Division in pursuing certain goals. Because of the instability of the [Border] Gate, in order to understand the rules of the [Border] Gate, countless people in history have
A survey team that passed through the [Border] Gate all disappeared after that gate disappeared. It was not until the pattern was gradually figured out in the past hundred years that things improved. But the problem is that almost all the [Border] Gates that appeared in the past hundred years have
It’s the green border of the second level.”
"Green borders are not enough to attract the old guys."
Rossetti said with some surprise, "Boss, do you mean that the 'anchor point' developed by the Adjudication Division can change the size of the border this time?"
"No."
Hoover Corleone chuckled and shook his head.
"The function of the 'anchor point' is not to change the size, but to change the entrance to the boundary. I guess if the investigation team can find the third-level strange demon territory this time, then they can be there when the [Border] Gate appears again.
Activate the anchor point to reposition, forcibly cut off the original passage, thereby generating a new [border] gate in the territory of the third-level alien demon, without having to wait for the slow accumulation of countless years. This is indeed a task that cannot be made public.
It’s an epoch-making technology.”
Speaking of this, Hoover Corleone chuckled and said, "According to my information, the most unbelievable thing is that this technical idea was first proposed by an anonymous human being, and the Adjudication Division has traced its origins many times but has never been able to find out the other party's identity.
The accurate identity has made the faces of those scientific researchers in the Adjudication Department who were born into the Tianlong clan with extraordinary talents and eyes above their heads swollen into pig heads, so I have always believed that the strength and weakness of living creatures has always been the individual, and has nothing to do with race."
If someone else said this, it might not be convincing at all. Instead, they would think it was sour grapes.
But Hoover Corleone, one of the four kings of the West Sea, broke out from the Nine Celestial Clan and had a rich and colorful life. His current strength is even more terrifying.
The words coming out of this man's mouth always seemed so crisp, powerful, and resounding. The three people following him all had thoughtful looks on their faces.
"What is our purpose this time?" Rossetti asked hesitantly.
The man next to him had a very free and easy life. He said he wanted to come to the country of Wano, and the two generals of the Corleone Pirates followed him without hesitation. It was only then that they asked why.
Hoover Corleone chuckled and said, "Haha, I have experienced too much in my life. There are fewer and fewer things in this world that interest me. Even those old guys are interested in strange things.
Demons, of course I want to take a look. Aren’t you curious why strange demons can descend into humans and give them abilities? I know that in the few records in the Judgment Department, the Heavenly Man came thousands of years ago.
When we arrived in this world, there were no capable people among humans."
Hearing this, Ryunosuke Kamiya, who had been silent behind him, suddenly said, "You are saying that our abilities are related to the so-called 'different demons' you mentioned."
Hoover Corleone smiled and shook his head, "Whether it matters or not... I won't know until I have the opportunity to travel to the world called 'Hell'. Now, everything is just a rational speculation."
"So what do we do now?"
"Just wait, the border gate will not reopen for four days."
Hoover Corleone suddenly rubbed his chin and said slowly, "Speaking of which, the secrecy work done by the Judgment Department this time is very unlike the style of the Judgment Department. According to our intelligence, there are more and more people in the world.
People have received the news and want to take a piece of the pie."
Having said this, Hoover Corleone squinted slightly and looked at the clear sky tree standing not far away, seeming to say to himself, "Interesting. I always feel like there is an invisible hand still hiding this time.
Are you arm wrestling with the Adjudication Division behind your back? Who could it be? Is it the man wearing a mask from Wano Country?"
Hearing the man wearing the mask, Rossetti also said thoughtfully, "That man and the Adjudication Division are already fighting to death. There is no reason for the Adjudication Division to be satisfied this time, but he can kill two Adjudication Divisions."
The user's strength is at least eight levels above, and the [border] of the Sky Tree is too narrow for him right now. I'm afraid he is hiding in the dark and waiting for something."
Vice-captain Bacchus finished the last piece of fried chicken and clenched his fists nonchalantly, "No matter who it is, if they are enemies of our Corleone Pirates, they must first ask if my fists are strong enough."
Buck, nicknamed "Sea Bear", is an eighth-level demigod-level flesh-system ability user.
His fists are certainly hard enough.
Valley
Chiyoda Ward.
On the rooftop of the Parliament Building.
New Tokyo in early March rarely enters the rhythm of summer a little early. Today the temperature has risen to 29.5 degrees, but the girls on the street who dress more summery inexplicably make the weather wonderful and cooler again.
Hakutaku Kimura, who is tall and tall with medium-long hair on his forehead, walked onto the rooftop.
He stared at the back of the slightly hunched man in his forties who was smoking constantly and throwing cigarette butts at his feet. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do politicians always like to meet in places like this? It seems like
You have grown into an excellent politician, don't look at me like this, you know, I don't mean anything else."
"I want to know your plans."
The middle-aged man did not turn around, but his tone was full of exhaustion, and suddenly he asked very sternly, "Don't try to deal with me. We have known each other for so long. I know your character and will not do anything that you are not sure about."
Kimura Hakutaku's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a slight smile, "Although I am very grateful for your appreciation, I still want to say that I have never been sure of the things I have done over the years, but I just happened to succeed."
After hearing his words, the middle-aged man's tone became a little deeper, "Success? Your mischief at the Sky Tree last month was also called success? Do you know how many innocent people died that night?"
"Yes, an outstanding politician should be able to control the public opinion and stand on the moral high ground by talking about the death of the people." Kimura Hakutaku still said in a serious tone, "But... what happened that night, you are the most important person."
I agreed at first."
"I agreed because I didn't expect you to make things so bad!"
The middle-aged man with his back to Kimura Hakutaku finally couldn't suppress his anger, "So many people died, and the [border] was exposed in advance and hidden for so long. Not to mention, what do you call giving them the power to resist heaven and man? Those who died
People and people who were later captured by heavenly beings and sent to the hospital for observation like guinea pigs, do they really have the power to resist heavenly beings and the Judgment Department? You just let them die!"
"I gave them a choice."
"A minute's choice?"
The words suddenly stopped here, and all that was left in my ears was the whistling wind whistling from the rooftop of the high-rise building.
After a moment, Kimura Hakutaku smiled and softened his tone, "Is it because the arbitration of the Sky Tree Bloody Night is not progressing smoothly? You should understand that as long as it has anything to do with the Celestial beings or the Judgment Division, any arbitration initiated by the upper and lower houses of the world government will
It’s just a joke.”
"This is not a joke, this is my promise."
The middle-aged man's excited tone gradually calmed down, and he said calmly, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the Sky Tree [Border]. You exposed the [Border] in advance, and now it is under the control of the Adjudication Department. You should
Knowing that people in the Adjudication Division have been secretly searching for [borders] around the world these years, I thought you wouldn’t be so impulsive.”
"Are you impulsive? Wouldn't it be good for the Adjudication Division to take over?" Kimura Hakutaku still had a gentle smile on his face, looking up at the spring sky above his head with squinted eyes, feeling the warm wind blowing across his face.
After a pause, Kimura Hakutaku suddenly said with a half-smile, "I have some data to share with you. In the past half month, the Metropolitan Police Department's Immigration Bureau has monitored about 78 illegal immigration cases, two-thirds of which
They are all dangerous characters listed on the World Government's wanted list.
What do you think is the purpose of these dangerous people suddenly coming to our small and remote country in the past half month? Are they on vacation? "
"So many dangerous people have entered Wano?" The middle-aged man was slightly startled and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"
"I see that you have been busy pushing the upper and lower houses to open Sky Tree arbitration, so I didn't bother you." Kimura Hakutaku said with a gentle smile, "And if these people usually come to Wano Country, they may indeed be dangerous elements to us.
, now, for the Adjudication Division, they are the dangerous elements."
The middle-aged man seemed to have gradually come to his senses, "Do you want to use their power to attack the Adjudication Division? But I heard that the people sent to Beijing this time are very difficult to deal with."
Kimura Hakutaku looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, and explained softly, "You are not those people, so you don't know the appeal of [Border] to those who desire strength. The people in the Judgment Division wanted to cover their lids and mutter.
After eating this cake, we will lift the lid as much as possible to let the aroma spread out, which will always attract some powerful diners. Those are our strength against the Adjudication Department and the Heavenly Government."
"Like the man wearing the mask?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked.
Kimura Hakuto was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed a little and said, "Yes, just like the man wearing the mask, he is the force we need to unite."
At this point, the conversation comes to an end.
The middle-aged man got his answer. The previous anger about that bloody night when countless lives were lost came and went quickly. Before leaving, he said in a low voice: "Don't forget our original ideals and ambitions."
, the future of this world is ours.”
"Of course."
Kimura Hakuto nodded and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, when the [border] of Sky Tree reopens in four days, everything will have a result no matter what."
The middle-aged man turned around and walked toward the exit of the rooftop without looking back. His voice echoed in the wind, "I'm looking forward to your results, and I hope you won't disappoint me this time."
"I hope so too."
The corners of Kimura Hakutaku's lips slowly raised into a smile that rippled in the spring breeze.
Of course the premise is that,
That investigation team can get the job done.
The inside of the world.
Higashinohara and others, who are not yet aware that their every move in this world has caused turmoil in the outside world, are now encountering the most difficult enemy to cross the [Border] gate this time.
Looking at the woman with a swollen belly, Higashinohara calmly clenched the Judgment Division Zhanjian in his hand and took a step back. However, at this moment, the eyes of everyone around him fell on the man wearing a sword next to the woman.
On a man with gold glasses.
Without warning, an extremely excited scream was heard from behind the man's spectacles.
In the next moment, countless whip shadows poured out from all directions towards Higashinohara and the others like a tidal wave of rain.
At the same time, above everyone's heads, from the fifth floor of the old residential building, figures suddenly jumped down like dumplings, one after another, with countless green lights flashing in the transparent detectors of the Adjudication Department.
These are the second level of dangerous monsters!
In an instant, someone's mind had already reacted, and they couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Could it be that the strange monsters that attacked the camp in the middle of the night last night to hunt them were all minions, the real elite strange monsters in Pujiang Community. All of them were actually left here waiting for them to be buried?
These strange monsters
How can he be so sinister and more human than human?
