Higashinohara possesses the [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], and he is very aware of everything around him even in the dark. He clearly sees the person in the darkness who is clearly the person named Theresa wearing a sea-blue peacock feather mask during the day.
woman.
The man who the woman was leaning against was actually the man who was having sex with another woman wearing pink peacock feathers during the day. He was dressed like a British gentleman.
etc.
If I remember correctly, when I passed through the border gate during the day, the woman in front of me was still dismissive of the two people's flirting behavior.
Does it smell really good in the dead of night?
Oh, woman.
Since joining the Chasseur organization of [Dawn Scarlet], Higashinohara has gradually discovered that although this organization is a "killer organization" to a certain extent, it is not as ruthless as he thought. For example, Higashinohara
Two teammates who just joined Dawn Scarlet and were matched.
Dusk actually fits some of Higashinohara's imaginations before joining the Jaeger organization, just like Agent 007 in his previous life.
But there is another guy named Wild Rose who loves TV dramas and oden cooking, and is very nervous and a little out of touch. He can probably compete with Charlie. He has nothing to do with Higashinohara's imagination.
Look at these Seven-Star Hunters who are considered the "heads" of Dawn Scarlet today. They actually even had some bloody love triangles.
I have to say that the hunters in this hunter organization are quite individual.
This left Higashinohara speechless and curious at the same time. How did such a hunting organization quickly rise in just a few decades to become the leading hunting organization second only to "Red Star"?
Who could be the person who founded this hunter organization?
Higashinohara was thinking about this in his mind. He was not interested in the relationship between Neptune and Green Tea in the dark night, so he turned around and wanted to leave here.
At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Is it Shiro Yaksha?"
Has it been discovered?
Higashinohara paused and wanted to ignore it and walk away, but the voice of the woman named "Theresa" whom he met by chance under the sky tree in the afternoon came from behind.
"It is indeed you."
When the woman said this, the first word was still behind her, but the sound of the last word came from the direction of her ears.
When Higashinohara turned his head, Teresa's figure had appeared not far from him. She looked about thirty years old, with dazzling platinum hair, and a pair of hair on her long, snow-white neck.
She has some light red lips, a well-proportioned and graceful figure, and a bit of pure lust.
"It's not good for a man to be too slow."
Teresa, who was about to arrive, smiled and looked at the white-fanged Yaksha mask on Higashinohara's face, brushed her platinum hair from her ears, and said with a chuckle, "Do you also wear a mask at night? You see, I do too.
I’ve taken off my mask and let you see my face, shouldn’t you?”
As Teresa said this, her snow-white arms were lifted up as gently as catkins and approached the mask on Higashinohara's face, as if to help Higashinohara take it off.
This kind of action was a bit intimate, as if she didn't care about the man who was having sex with her just now, like a tool that she just throws away after use.
Higashinohara stood still and did not move.
Teresa's plump, light red lips were slightly raised. Looking at the white-faced and fanged Yaksha mask so close to her, she felt a faint sense of pride in her heart.
What White Yaksha?
To put it bluntly, he's just a man.
However, the next moment, when Teresa's fingertips touched the mask on Higashinohara's face, the completely unreal touch made her feel slightly startled.
Under the faint moonlight, the originally clear figure in front of the woman gradually blurred. The figure of Nakanohara in the air was like the moon reflected in the water, and after a ripple, he appeared on the other side of her.
at this moment,
Just like that time.
It's like Theresa never came.
"Sorry. I'm used to wearing a mask."
Higashinohara's voice, which seemed a little hoarse after practice, came from behind the mask. He said sorry, but his tone sounded very cold.
Teresa's raised hand suddenly froze in place, and her face became uncertain for a while. It seemed that this was one of the few failures in her charming youth.
Seeing this, the man who was thrown away a lot quickly ran up and said apologetically to Higashinohara, "I'm really sorry. It was Teresa who was rude just now, but we didn't mean any harm, we just wanted to fight.
Hello, my name is Arenda, codenamed Gentleman. I come from the United States of Tagos in the West. You may not know me, but I know you. Haha, there should be no one in our hunting team who has not heard of "White Yaksha" this time.
'That's the name."
"Hello, Shiroyasha."
Higashinohara maintains basic etiquette.
In this world, we cannot say that there are many friends and many paths, but at least there is no need for him to be hostile to his companions in this temporary exploration team until there is no direct conflict of interest.
Seeing that Higashinohara's tone was cold but not angry, Alanda, the man codenamed "Gentleman", couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, Theresa also recovered from the embarrassment just now.
An imperceptible glimmer flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face again.
"It was true that I was impulsive just now, and I would like to apologize to you. However, when we stopped you just now, we actually wanted to invite you to form an alliance with us."
"An alliance?"
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, "Aren't we together now?"
"No no no"
Teresa chuckled and shook her head, "I mean a small group of ourselves that helps each other and survives together in this world."
It turned out to be a small group.
Higashinohara's face was a little stunned, but soon became a little weird again.
In addition to Kimura Hakutaku, the leader of the initiator and the funder's third-party investigation team, their exploration team this time has only nine people in total.
And then the four of them form an alliance again?
This reminded Higashinohara of a joke about a girl's dormitory in her previous life, where there were six people and five groups.
After Teresa finished speaking, although she could not see the expression on Higashinohara's face through the mask, she also found that her proposal did not seem to move Higashinohara's heart.
She suddenly remembered something, and before Higashinohara refused, she said, "Aren't you curious about what the special reward that Team Leader Kimura said is? This time, most of us should be aiming for that thing, otherwise it's just that little bit.
I believe no fool will come here for money."
Higashinohara didn't speak. The corners of his eyes twitched under the mask, feeling a little insulted for no reason.
But he didn't ask, he just stood there motionless.
Teresa also didn't expect that Higashinohara would be so unsophisticated, with a "do you want to talk or not" look?
This feeling is like how she used to treat the licking dogs around her when she didn't have a task, "not taking the initiative, not refusing, not taking responsibility". It's really one of the few experiences for her.
Finally, before Higashinohara turned around.
After all, Teresa still didn't want to lose this new Jaeger ally who had broken through to the Seven Stars at the fastest speed in [The Scarlet of Dawn] and had a red "↑" mark behind her, so she took the initiative and said, "Ability Fruit, what Captain Kimura said
Unexpected joy is the fruit of ability, but only those who survive can successfully get the fruit from his hands."
After hearing Theresa's words, Higashinohara's expression finally changed slightly.
This is not the first time he has heard the name "Ability Fruit". When he rescued Nishimaru Miria at the villa at the port last year, the imprisoned boys and girls at the auction were all the test subjects of the "Ability Fruit". The survivors of big data
.
In fact, the reason why "Ability Fruit" is also called "Devil Fruit" in the black market is because in people's eyes, this method of acquiring abilities through external forces is tantamount to making a deal with the "devil".
The more critical point is that this kind of fruit is extremely unstable, and the probability of survival is slim. Generally, only those who are desperate, or some powerful organizations who illegally imprison "experimental subjects" will take such a fruit to gamble.
A stroke of luck.
Seven-star hunters like Teresa and Elenda have awakened the innate ability to advance to the seventh level. Logically speaking, such a fruit should not be attractive to them at all.
Even if you get it and sell it on the black market, the value is not as high as expected. After all, this kind of fruit is too dangerous.
Allenda seemed to see the confusion behind Higashinohara's mask. She coughed lightly and walked forward and said to Higashinohara, "It seems that Sir Shiroyasha's impression of the power fruit is still in the past. You must not know that recently,
A new type of ability fruit has appeared on the black market."
"New ability fruit?" Higashinohara said.
"That's right." Theresa next to her said with a smile, "We also call this new type of 'power fruit' the 'angel fruit'. This kind of fruit does not have the side effects of the 'devil fruit' at all. You only need to endure it."
A slight pain and a brief loss of control can awaken a brand new innate ability and become an enviable dual-innate ability user."
"I don't think I need to introduce you to Sir Bai Yaksha anymore about the meaning of being a dual-talented person, right?"
Gentleman Allenda looked at Higashinohara who was motionless, and felt relieved immediately.
It is almost certain that the other party is already tempted.
No one can resist the temptation of dual talents.
For ability users, one more talent is equivalent to one more path in the process of ability advancement. Some geniuses can even comprehend complex abilities that are better than before.
Teresa looked at Higashinohara who was motionless, and continued to say seductively, "The 'unexpected surprise' Captain Kimura has prepared for us this time is the third-level new blue 'ability fruit', which can awaken blue high-risk abilities."
, it is even rumored to be able to awaken extremely rare talent sequence co-location abilities."
Gentleman Allenda shrugged and said, "But we know that this powerful, stable and safe new ability fruit is priceless even on the black market. Even with Captain Kimura's financial resources, the quantity is probably extremely rare, and whether it is
The rewards of our exploration mission and the additional rewards of new ability fruits can only be obtained by those who survive in the end."
As for this, they have said everything that needs to be said.
Allenda and Teresa believed that under such a clear situation, Higashinohara had no reason not to be tempted and no reason to refuse their invitation.
However, precisely because of such confidence, when Higashinohara finished speaking, both of them almost thought they were hearing hallucinations.
"Sorry. I'm used to being alone."
After saying that, Higashinohara turned around and left without saying a word. Allenda and Teresa behind him were dumbfounded.
What situation is this?
There will undoubtedly be a much greater chance of obtaining a new type of ability fruit by working with them. That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to awaken the second innate ability. Is this guy not tempted at all?!
On the way back to the camp, Higashinohara was also thinking about the issue of new ability fruits.
Naturally, he was not moved. The so-called "second talent" was just a joke in front of him.
Higashinohara was just a little confused.
Since there are priceless things even on the black market, where can Kimura Hakutaku find such a thing to seduce the Seven-Star Hunters of the Jaeger Organization to work for him?
And there is still a little doubt that has existed in Higashinohara's mind from the beginning.
Since the Sky Tree [Border Gate] has appeared in New Tokyo, it would have been fine if the Adjudication Department was there in the past, but now that the Adjudication Department is gone, it is natural that the host country of Wano cannot just leave the "treasure mountain" at the door and wait for others to come to the house.
It is normal to explore and send out an exploration team.
Higashinohara thought it was Kimura Hakutaku who was abnormal.
This guy seems to be a little too natural about everything here. Judging from his familiar appearance, there is no need for any exploration.
But this is also the problem.
In this case, why did Kimura Hakutaku hire hunters to come to this place?
With these messy thoughts in his mind, Higashinohara subconsciously glanced at the dark classroom as he passed by the dark elementary school classroom.
Under the erosion of the long years of who knows how long, the glass windows of the classroom were gray and mottled, and even Higashino's original night vision ability could not see clearly what was inside.
But after the last experience, even if something suddenly flew out from the dark classroom door, Higashinohara would not be surprised at all.
However, everything was very quiet in the dark classroom, and this scene was very strange in Higashinohara's eyes.
Passing by the dark front door of the classroom, Higashinohara did not turn around to look inside.
It wasn't until he was about to reach the back door that he suddenly turned around, turned back and leaned close to the dusty window glass, and looked in through the mottled gaps.
the next moment,
His pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly!
In his field of vision, there was a pair of pale eyeballs with unusually protruding crystals, peering unblinkingly at him from the other side of the window.
Higashinohara subconsciously took a few steps back and looked up at the "Happiness Elementary School" in the dark night, entrenched in this desolate land like a black monster.
etc!
It seems that there are no strange monsters here.
They just lurked down like soldiers who had received orders.
But who can command strange demons?
Please give me a ticket in the last few minutes at the end of the month~!
