Chapter 281 The Waves of the Times, White Yaksha’s Gold Content (Part 2)
Under the stormy sky, a black business car was driving quietly on the way back.
The eyes of everyone in the car, including Wild Rose in the driver's seat, fell on Higashinohara in the back seat from time to time, and then glanced at the seriously injured Viper lying in the back.
I have to say, Wild Rose's eyes full of contrast are a bit hurtful.
Viper, who was lying flat on his back in the last row, looked through the rearview mirror in front of the car and noticed the furtive look in Wild Rose's dog eyes. It was not very harmful but extremely insulting.
But he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn his head and keep his stubbornness.
But not everyone is as "dog" as Wild Rose.
As professional thief scouts, Huang Huang and Xiong were still immersed in deep shock.
There isn't any tactical customization.
There aren't any remote commands either.
The new hunter in front of us has completed the mission with such high efficiency and almost perfection. It really makes people sigh in their hearts?
And judging from the other person's appearance and body shape, the face behind Shirayasha's mask must be very young, which means that he still has a lot of room for growth in the future.
After a moment of silence, Dusk broke the silence with a dry cough.
"This mission was performed well. It seems that we missed a key piece of information, which is Bai Yasha's ability level."
Although Higashinohara showed great strength and power, Huang Qingtai did not show too much enthusiasm. It was not that he did not win over a powerful stock like Higashinohara to become his regular partner, but that he knew that the Jaegers wanted to
To become a regular partner does not depend on worldliness, but on sufficient strength and matching level.
If he stays at the level of a six-star reconnaissance hunter, then no matter how potential his partner is, he won't be able to keep him, and Huang Wan is very clear about this in his heart.
After Huang Huang finished speaking, everyone in the car immediately turned their attention to Higashinohara. Even though everyone had their own guesses, some words still had to be said more convincingly from the mouth of the person involved.
Behind the mask, Higashinohara, who was calculating the gains and losses of this operation, was slightly stunned when he heard the words of the others. He immediately reacted and nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry for my negligence. I did luckily break through the seventh level some time ago.
level.”
Hearing Higashinohara's personal admission, everyone in the car couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Although the Internet has brought everyone closer in this era, many people can see seventh-level absolute ability users on the TV network, and even get a glimpse of eighth-level or even ninth-level top powerhouses by chance, such as the first two
The battle between the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Tianhe made people lucky enough to see a "fight between gods".
But in real life, the circle demarcates the people you can come into contact with. People with absolute abilities above the seventh level are still rare in any country on this cross continent.
There will be no chance to come into contact with absolute ability users above the seventh level.
There was a hint of surprise on Xiong's face, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "With such strength, no wonder you take this incident so calmly, even seventh-level absolute ability users are no match for you."
In fact, I can deal with it at the eighth level.
Higashinohara thought to himself.
"The scene was just too bloody."
Wild Rose suddenly remembered something and glanced at Higashinohara with a strange expression.
She once suspected that the young man under the White Yaksha mask had suffered some childhood trauma from time to time. She heard that the way those people disposed of corpses was generally different from normal people.
Before leaving Jingshui Prison, when she and Axia went in to deal with the aftermath, the two experienced hunters almost threw up.
"Is it too bloody?"
Higashinohara took the good advice and nodded, "Then I'll try to be more careful next time."
Xiong Wenyan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are so calm, it's really hard to believe that you are a new one-star hunter."
No matter how powerful the person with abilities is, they are still human beings. If they have parents and family, there will be a psychological barrier that needs to be overcome when killing someone. Higashinohara's clean and calm demeanor cannot be faulted even by veteran hunters.
Higashinohara also heard the meaning of Xiong's words. He smiled and said, "If killing people is to save others, I don't have a problem with it."
Kill to save others.
After hearing Higashinohara's words, everyone else's faces also showed thoughtful expressions.
“Kill to stop killing?”
A smile appeared on Huang Huang's face, and he finally saw something in Higashinohara that a new hunter should have. Most of the hunters who have been in this industry for a long time can ask for money and they don't even know whether they are killing good or bad people.
.
After a pause, he suddenly said, "I have submitted today's mission data to Liaison Officer 9527 for review. Bai Yasha is no longer a one-star hunter."
Not a one-star hunter anymore?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and at the same time lowered their heads and opened the official website of the [Dawn Scarlet] Hunter Organization, and quickly searched for Shiro Yaksha's personal information.
White Yaksha:Four-star Hunter(↑)
The "↑" is red, which is not uncommon.
They usually appear behind those hunters with great potential, which means that the opponent's current star level of the hunters is not stable and will rise at any time.
Correspondingly, for some high-star hunters who are old, frail or injured, the brain of Dawn Scarlet will mark them with a green "↓" to remind the hired hunters that the current condition of the hunters is not good and they are in a critical condition.
There is a tendency of falling at any time, so you need to be cautious when hiring.
"Eh?! It's actually four stars?"
In the driver's seat, Wild Rose got so excited that she almost threw the steering wheel out of her hand.
Under normal circumstances, 10 first-level tasks need to be successfully completed from one star to two stars, and 10 second-level tasks need to be completed from two stars to three stars.
By analogy, Wild Rose still remembers that it took almost two years for her to be promoted to a four-star hunter.
And how long has this new hunter been using?
Two days?
Even if you complete a fifth-level mission or a seventh-level mission, [Dawn of Scarlet] usually has this kind of "old with new" matching, and the level jump is not that fast.
"It seems that Dawn Scarlet's brain thinks highly of your mission completion." Dusk nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The scene that he saw through the lens on Viper's body emerged in Xiong's mind. With such a performance, it is understandable that he would grow into a four-star hunter in just two days. It's just that his
Not only did some doubts arise in my mind.
Is this guy really just lucky enough to be promoted to the seventh level a few days ago, as he said?
The Rain Demon Sheila of the Shelby Pirates is also a good player in the seventh level, even the Seven-Star Hunter Viper is no match.
Before he could think more.
At this time, Higashinohara suddenly asked, "When is our next mission?"
Next mission?
After hearing Higashinohara's words,
Several people in the car were stunned.
Under normal circumstances, after the execution of a Jaeger mission, the entire team will rest for at least three days to a week!
If the injury during the battle was serious, it would take several months or even a year and a half. Otherwise, the hunting gold would not be as high.
However, Higashinohara has taken on two missions in the past two days. Now that he has just completed a level 7 mission, he is asking about the next mission.
What the hell?
Doesn't this guy take a break?
"Sir Baiyaksha, are you short of money like me?" Axia couldn't help but ask.
"Short of money?"
Higashinohara was stunned and subconsciously wanted to say that was not the case, but he could not say the words "no shortage of money".
Well, compared to these long-famous hunters, he is really short of money.
Of course, what is more important are attributes and source points.
The reason why Higashinohara is so urgent is because the two old guys from the Celestial Nine Family had already entered the lost "hell world" behind the door when the Sky Tree [Border Gate] opened again yesterday afternoon!
If they really find what they want to take their strength to the next level, but Higashinohara is still resting on his laurels, then it may not be good when they face each other again.
So now that he has joined the Jaeger Organization, Higashinohara naturally wants to be tighter and tighter, not wanting to waste any time.
Mitsui Garden Hotel.
After getting off the bus, the group parted ways again.
Axia looked at Higashinohara's back disappearing in the rain, and couldn't help but marveled, "I didn't expect Shiroyasha-kun to be very frugal like us. Alas, they have to start a new mission tomorrow, so do I.
I want to make endless money like them."
The corner of Viper's mouth twitched when he heard this, took a breath, and said with a stern face, "I'm sorry! I delayed your making money."
Axia immediately realized what she was saying. She accidentally said what she was thinking, and quickly added, "Ah hahaha. Anyway, if you are willing to stay in a motel with me, you have actually saved a lot of accommodation fees. That's it."
Earn it."
"Is it to save accommodation fees?"
Xiong rubbed his chin and glanced at Axia, "But before you come, can you tell us that motels are a specialty of Wano Country. If you don't stay in a motel, it's like you have never been to Wano Country."
"."Axia.
The next day, March 15th
When Higashinohara came back from his morning exercise, the shops on the street had become increasingly deserted, and even some ramen shops and izakayas in Shitamachi alleys, where the whole family made a living, were closed.
Obviously, in the current era of "man-made disasters" in Wano Country, there have been more reports of disasters and fire scenes in the news. After seeing the desperate cries of wives and children separated and families destroyed in those shots, people gradually began to realize that nothing is more important than life and family.
Something more important.
It's a bit ridiculous to say that Wano, which has maintained a stable relationship with the World Government for hundreds of years, never expected that in this era, life and safety would suddenly become the main theme after waking up one day, and even the way people greeted them changed.
Gradually it turned into "Were you okay and didn't get hurt yesterday?"
When he went upstairs, Higashinohara saw that every corridor was filled with garbage in black garbage bags, sewage flowed into the corners, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.
This is not because the tenants on each floor are too lazy. Although the Aragaki Apartment is considered a low-rent apartment in a poor area in a metropolis like New Tokyo, it still pays great attention to hygiene and cleaning under the control of the unscrupulous uncle Satoru Aragaki.
of.
The reason why it has been like this in the past two days is because the nearby garbage disposal transfer station has been closed.
It is said that there were heavy casualties one night, and we are currently recruiting again.
But at this juncture, everyone is huddled at home to avoid the limelight. How many people would be willing to apply for a job at a garbage disposal transfer station that is dirty, tiring and low-paying?
In fact, when various scales of terrorist civil strife broke out across Wano, the new Foreign Minister Nobuo Kobayashi and the interim Acting Minister of the Interior repeatedly mentioned in his public speeches on TV every day that "don't go out unless necessary."
.
In the city of New Tokyo, except for some companies related to people's livelihood and supermarkets, most companies are now in a state of suspension of production and waiting for work, and the entire city seems to have come to a standstill.
Although there are occasional news on the news about a family house in a certain place being hit by an inexplicable disaster and killing the whole family, the probability of being attacked and endangered at home is still much lower than in a public place with a lot of people.
"The country of Wano is currently in an unprecedented predicament in hundreds of years, but we believe that we will not be knocked down by the difficulties, nor will we follow the footsteps of the Grand Duchy of Shayash. In fact, we are effectively using various means to
To solve the dangerous accidents that have recently occurred in the city and affected the public’s personal safety.”
Back in the room, Higashinohara had just turned on the TV when he saw the short man with a slight bald forehead at the press conference in the parliament building speaking sincerely to stabilize people's hearts.
It has to be said that perhaps the people of Wano are accustomed to seeing the handsome face of "grassroots councilor" Higashikata Higashikata on TV that is comparable to a star. The interim acting Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi is even more handsome in appearance and temperament.
Very different.
But Higashinohara watched the TV news every day, and somehow felt that this bald man was much more pleasing to the eye than the "Higashiyama Valley" who was killed by him.
This is not just because of Dongsen Valley’s dirty dealings with the three old guys from Shangjing in private, but also because at least Kobayashi Nobuo will not always use words similar to "yours" when giving a televised speech.
Speaking of words like "Prime Minister" has become a means to gain public support for himself.
This was what he was thinking about.
At this time, everything on the TV news screen seemed to be to support the words of Foreign Minister Nobuo Kobayashi, and several off-site interviews were shown on TV.
At first, there were a few unfamiliar people and scenes, and some were still in shock as they answered the reporters’ questions about their experiences in the past two days. It seemed that they were all faced with a life-and-death crisis and were met with a solution like a divine weapon descending from heaven. It sounded like
It's a bit like a soothing script.
But after breakfast, Higashinohara was about to turn off the TV and go out. He soon realized that he had thought wrong.
In the last scene of the news interview, he saw the familiar Stillwater Prison on TV, as well as the female prisoners in the women's prison who had met him once.
"Who? I don't know who he is, I just know that my heartbeat almost stopped at that time."
"He is really a special! Special! Special person! From the moment he appeared, I knew I was saved."
"What does he look like? I don't know what he looks like. He has a mask of Oni Yaksha with white fangs on his face. When he left, he said he was Shiro Yaksha of Dawn Scarlet."
"Yes, that's right, I remember it very clearly, his name is Bai Yaksha."
"."
Hearing these words, Higashinohara's expression suddenly became strange.
He did not expect that the government would conduct such interviews and reports in order to stabilize people's hearts. This was unexpected.
However, he didn't take it to heart. He changed his clothes and put on the mask of Shiro Yaksha, and went to the tram station again according to the mission information shared in the group in the evening.
There are probably not many Jaegers taking public transportation in Neo-Tokyo right now.
His current short-term goal is to collect attribute points as soon as possible to improve his strength. At the same time, he should collect as many source points as possible to further advance the purple epic ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths].
And just when Higashinohara was moving towards his goal.
at the same time,
New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Miyano Juro, the captain of the 6th Division, stood in the office of the leader of the 3rd Investigation Team and stood in front of the man and said:
"The restricted mission has been sent out. On the official website of Dawn Scarlet, only hunters with seven stars or above can see this mission. But do you really want to build a team to enter the place behind the border gate?"
