Chapter 312 The Lord of Gaotian ascends to the ninth level!
Although Hakutaku Kimura is usually very amiable, he always has a gentle smile on his face, and his interactions with others make people feel like they are in a spring breeze.
But in fact, when most people mention Kimura Hakutaku, a faint "sense of alienation" will always arise in the deepest part of their hearts unconsciously.
It's like no matter how close you are to him, you can never guess the true thoughts deep inside the heart of the man in front of you who never seems to show any expressions of shock.
"It's him.
That's correct.
No wonder it looks so familiar."
In his hazy sleep, Higashinohara murmured to himself, but then he was shocked to find that he actually made a voice in his dream.
The last time in this dream, he had been recalling this movie-like scene from Jiang Huai's first-person perspective, and it was not until he woke up from the dream that he gradually regained his self-awareness.
Unexpectedly, this time, he actually recovered in his dream.
Is it true that once is raw and twice is familiar?
"Huh?"
There was also a soft cry in the dream.
"Can you speak?"
The voice then came from the void dream space, as if talking to himself, but it sounded unusually raw, as if the dry vocal cords were vibrating again after an extremely long time.
Who is it?
The boy who dragged me into my dream?
Higashinohara was surprised. He didn't know what kind of ability the other party had. He still remained vigilant, but his tone returned to calmness and he asked calmly:
"Why not?"
After the words fell, the figure in the hazy dream seemed to become even more surprised!
After a while, he continued with some difficulty in a very stagnant voice, "You can actually understand my words. You are the only person who can understand my language among the humans who have entered this world over the years.
.”
Higashino Haranshin said, of course I understand.
You are a native of this place.
But I might be more indigenous than you.
At the same time, Higashinohara was actually a little surprised.
Whether it was the couple who controlled the alien demon army that they met in the past two days, or Ling Wei from Pujiang Community.
As third-level blue strange demons, although they all retained more of their human emotions in that tide, they had almost no rational communication when they met Higashinohara, and they were more difficult to suppress.
anger and desire for aggression.
It was hard to imagine that one day he would be able to have such a calm conversation with a strange demon in a dream.
Higashinohara didn't think that those few exchanges of glances would make them familiar or show goodwill.
He quickly became more vigilant.
Because the reason why the other party invaded his dreams one after another without any warning is that it is very likely that this is a strange demon that is much stronger than the previous strange monsters.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara decided to take the initiative and asked, "Do you know him?"
The voice in the dream obviously knew who the "him" in Higashinohara's mouth was referring to. After a moment of silence, he said with a hint of sullenness in his tone:
"A betrayer."
After he finished speaking, he said no more, but Higashinohara vaguely guessed something.
It seems to be similar to what I thought. The reason why Kimura Hakutaku is so familiar with this place is that he probably went deep into it alone before Higashinohara followed the Adjudication Division's exploration team through the border gate and came to this world.
Arriving at this lost world of hell.
And he did something unknown.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara recalled the "mighty grace" mentioned in the speech delivered by the man with a mellow voice after the Sky Tree broadcast channel was hacked on the night of "Sky Tree Bleeding Night" at the beginning of the year.
Now it seems that the person who opened the [Border Gate] that night and released the body of strange demons should also be Kimura Hakutaku who has been hiding behind the scenes - maybe he had already come to this world before that.
Kimura Hakutaku built a bridge between this laboratory and the Fruit Research Institute in New Tokyo, using the human resources of the New Tokyo Ability Fruit Research Institute and the strange demons of this world to help him purify and research the Ability Fruit, and finally Kimura
The [seed] in Bai Tuo's mouth contains endless hope.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although he doesn't know the ultimate purpose of Kimura Hakutaku's actions, is it to give everyone in Wano a chance to make a new choice as he said in his speech on the "Sky Tree Bleeding Night" at the beginning of the year?
Or maybe it's the scene he just saw in the laboratory, this guy believes that no one can be the "creator" of mankind.
If there is, it must be him.
But no matter what the purpose is, there is no doubt that this is an extremely crazy guy.
If it weren't for that incredible madness, Higashinohara could very well imagine how Hakutaku Kimura was alone in this desolate and silent world of hell to conduct experiments, and also reached some kind of agreement with the high-level strange demon that invaded his dream.
.
Although he doesn't seem to be keeping his end of the bargain.
Higashinohara took a deep breath, and his thoughts returned to the dream at hand.
"Why did you find me?" he asked with a frown.
This is the second time Higashinohara has entered Jiang Huai's dream, or it can be said that Jiang Huai has entered his dream. In short, the two have shared dreams more than once.
There was silence for a moment in the hazy dream, and then the husky young man said with some difficulty, "I didn't find you, it was you who found me. You are very special."
After hearing this, Higashinohara was silent for a moment, and he asked a question that normal people would be concerned about.
"So, you let me have the first-person perspective of your dream, and watch these things like a movie. What is your purpose?"
"Purpose?"
Unexpectedly, the voice in the dream seemed very confused after hearing Higashinohara's words. It seemed that he had never considered this issue before, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
"Purpose. My purpose"
Higashinohara patiently waited for the other party's answer.
But soon, he noticed a "sense of loneliness" from the other party's confused voice, as if the mighty wind was blowing constantly on the Pearl Tower.
The sun rises and sets, never stopping.
So Higashinohara quickly realized something, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Such strange monsters standing in this world, even high-level strange monsters, do not need to eat, have no physical needs, and have lost all spiritual sustenance.
What we face all day long is the unchanging gray world in front of us.
If there were brain waves, even the most advanced demons would probably see almost a straight line in their minds.
It wasn't until outsiders from another world like Higashinohara entered that these strange demons underwent some different changes, becoming angry and eager to fight.
But the high-level strange demon in front of him named "Jiang Huai" possesses even rarer emotional management abilities. He sees that humans do not have negative emotions such as anger and rage.
He was able to cooperate with Kimura Hakutaku, and his subsequent anger was also due to Kimura Hakutaku's "breach of trust", and he was even able to have a peaceful conversation with Higashinohara in a dream.
If he had to say that such a strange demon had any purpose for him, Higashinohara could only feel a loneliness that spanned thousands of years from him.
If no one speaks anymore, I am afraid that even if his consciousness will still exist countless years later, his language ability will have gradually degraded and disappeared.
In a hazy dream,
The young man seemed to be stunned by Higashinohara's question and fell into deep thought.
Even as a high-level alien demon, his "spiritual sand castle" retained more emotions and thoughts when the tidal catastrophe came countless years ago.
But they say that young people don’t understand the feeling of sadness. I’m afraid there is no such emotion as “loneliness” among the emotions of young people.
then
In the hazy dream, the figure fell into confused thinking, but in the end he did not find the answer he wanted, until the dream slowly receded like the tide flowing back.
Higashinohara only felt that everything in front of him seemed to be alternating between day and night, with light and shadow blurring and shaking.
The laboratory and Kimura Hakuto's back that he had seen before all disappeared. The gray moonlight shone on his face like a gauze, and his vision returned to the camp in Pujiang Community.
The sky is slightly bright and the temperature is a bit low.
In the dead silence of the community, the only sound was Daniel's melodious snoring coming from the sleeping bag not far away - he was called to bed by Lucy in the middle of the night, and Lucy said that she would be responsible for the rest.
But at this moment, Higashinohara, who had an amazing hearing, soon heard a slight snoring sound under Daniel's snoring. He was slightly startled and couldn't help but turn his head to look in Lucy's direction.
As expected.
Lucy was sleeping soundly with her head tilted and holding the warhammer in her hand, the tip of her nose trembling slightly and snoring evenly. The small bunch of dull orange hair on her forehead was stained with the crystal dew.
I can only say that luckily no one attacked last night.
If someone was up to something evil, with the two siblings' incredible night-watching abilities, they might not even know if someone touched them while they were half asleep or half awake.
After waking up from his dream, Higashinohara no longer felt sleepy and simply crawled out of his sleeping bag.
He packed his sleeping bag, took out the outdoor toiletries that Lucy distributed to him last night, and began to clean up his personal hygiene.
After doing all this, Higashinohara moved his limbs a little. Although he had such a dream in the early morning, Higashinohara's physical condition had completely stabilized after a night of [Spiritual Healing] recovery.
He thought for a moment, and in order to prevent emergencies in the next few days, after washing, he took out the Shiroyasha mask that he had taken off when he was injured last time and put it on his face again, and walked to a door in front of Pujiang Community.
Before the pond was filled with water, I lowered my head and took a photo.
"You got up so early."
Behind her, Lucy yawned and walked over with a war hammer in her hand. With sleepy eyes, she shrank her shoulders, sneezed, and said with some dissatisfaction:
"It's so cold in this damn place in the morning."
"Is there any?"
Higashinohara had actually noticed that Lucy had woken up a long time ago. He was a little surprised when he heard Lucy's words, but he didn't feel very cold.
But when I thought about it, I realized that Lucy was only a pure power system user and not a physical system person. There was definitely no way to compare her physique with my own, which was only 0.1 to 70, and I felt a little relieved.
For a moment, he couldn't help but sigh that it would be beneficial to increase the [Physique] too much. At least he wouldn't have to worry about catching a cold in the future.
"Eh? What's that on your face?"
At this time, Lucy opened her hazy sleepy eyes and finally noticed something strange about Higashinohara. She couldn't help but leaned in front of Higashinohara and asked curiously.
"It's just a mask." Higashinohara smiled.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Lucy asked in a confused tone.
There was one thing she didn't say. The white-fanged mask on Higashinohara's face was actually quite scary. It obscured his originally gentle face and gave him an inexplicable sense of alienation and strangeness.
The reason why Higashinohara did not avoid Lucy was because the other party had saved his life anyway, so he still had basic trust.
Moreover, when they met by chance, Lucy, a noble girl from the St. Malo Empire, didn't even know Higashinohara's name. It was difficult to have any substantial influence on him based on just a one-time relationship and the impression that gradually faded away in the future.
But at this time, Higashinohara did not answer this question. He just smiled and asked, "How have you considered what I told you last night? In the next few days and when the border gate opens again, there is someone I am not confident to deal with.
I am afraid that people will come to me for trouble, so stay with me."
"We have already considered it." Lucy interrupted Higashinohara's words.
Higashinohara was startled for a moment and glanced at the few wisps of dull hair on Lucy's short orange hair. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed silently in his heart.
As expected, Lucy said confidently, "We are not familiar with this world, and the two of us will probably encounter dangers, such as those big pirates scattered in this world. How about we join forces and encounter them?"
If someone gives you trouble, you can help each other."
Hearing Lucy's sincere words, Higashinohara had no reason to force them to leave. He could only nod helplessly, secretly making up his mind that if he encountered any trouble, he would still have to save them.
On the other hand, the [Border Gate] will not open again for four days.
Higashinohara has now lost contact with the Jaeger team, and it is impossible for him to spend these four days with his eyes open without sleeping - there is no absolutely safe place in this world where one can relax his nerves.
If two people help keep watch, well, it doesn't seem very reliable.
But at least it can make the string in my head less tense in the next four days.
Higashinohara was thinking like this in his mind, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, let me ask, what is the reason for you to come to this world?"
"Of course it's to find the River Styx and become stronger." Lucy said matter-of-factly.
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and could not help but frown slightly - he did not expect that Lucy and Daniel's motives for coming to this world were exactly the same as those of the pirates.
But the "River Styx" in their mouth refers to the catastrophe that destroyed the world countless thousands of years ago.
Can it really make people with abilities stronger?
Thinking of this, Higashino couldn't help but turn his head and look at the sunrise in the east, but the turbulent tide falling from the sky yesterday and the people rushing towards the tide came to mind.
at the same time,
Mingsha Island opposite the Pujiang estuary.
In a remote corner, everything here is wrapped in a mirage-like tide, and the island is as invisible as a dark deep sea.
However, without warning,
Suddenly a light lit up in the darkness.
I saw that Mingsha Island, which had been dry and dead for tens of millions of years, was surrounded by a mirage-like black tide, and made a rustling sound like spring silkworms spinning silk and buds breaking through the ground, full of life tension.
It's just that this so-called "land" is not the dark, dry soil on Mingsha Island under your feet, but the man with a gentle smile standing on it.
His heart glowed faintly,
A [seed] drilled countless cracks under the soil, making a subtle sound of spring buds breaking through rocks.
at this moment,
A man's body is like fertile soil.
Under the nourishment of endless sweet rain, the milky white light strips wrapped around his body sprouted like branches, flowing from his heart to the whole body along with the blood.
With a gentle smile on his lips, Kimura Hakuto slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Is this the power of the ninth level?"
