Chapter 317 The man who took off his mask for the first time!
The band of light flowing around the starry sky is an extremely magnificent cosmic scene.
However, at this moment, when everyone in the Sky Tree Square saw such a magnificent scene reproduced in front of them, under the bright fireworks all over the sky, the expressions on people's faces did not have the idea of appreciating this scenery.
, and I don’t think this is a natural formation.
In this world full of people with abilities, when the people under the Sky Tree saw this paradoxical scene, some of the news circulating about the "Sky Tree Bleeding Night" two months ago appeared in their minds, and they could not help but feel uncontrollable emotions in their hearts.
A fear of the unknown.
As if to confirm their suspicions.
At this time, people wearing Metropolitan Police uniforms around the Sky Tree Square began to organize the orderly evacuation of people near the entrances of the three squares. When the people inside the square saw this, their hearts sank.
Something really happened!
Under different scenes and moods, the colorful fireworks above our heads just now, full of expectations for a peaceful and prosperous age, are now shining like "death stars" above people's heads, and the people gathered in the square are like a hot firework.
He panicked like an ant on a pot.
"What happened?"
"I don't know!"
"Did you just receive a text message from the municipal government on your mobile phone? It told us to evacuate immediately."
"Hurry up and evacuate? He was the one who asked us to come, and he is the one asking us to evacuate now. Those bastards above don't take our lives seriously at all."
"What should we do now? How long will it take for so many people to evacuate?"
"No matter! I have to leave first! I still have children."
"."
Human nature can hardly withstand the test of life and death.
Once the panic spreads, even if they haven't figured out what exactly happened, the people under the sky tree have already begun to riot and panic.
"Zizzizizi——!"
Without any warning, a harsh electric sound suddenly came from the broadcasts in the three squares of Sky Tree.
The penetrating power of the current sound from the disaster evacuation loudspeaker, which was turned to its maximum volume, instantly caused the restless crowd under the dark clouds to unconsciously hold their heads and cover their ears on the spot!
When the sound of electric current finally ended, everyone looked at each other with their heads in their hands, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes and the doubts and fears that had not yet dissipated!
At this time, a gentle man's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker broadcasts in the three squares of Sky Tree, and it sounded like it had a magical effect of soothing people's hearts.
"Good evening everyone, don't be nervous. You are not in any danger."
This voice made the SAT team responsible for maintaining public security on the scene stunned for a moment, then turned to the team members on the side and said, "This voice sounds familiar to me."
The team member next to him also raised his head and glanced blankly at the Sky Tree not far away, and said with some uncertainty, "It sounds like the voice of Team Leader Kimura."
"Which Team Leader Kimura?" The SAT leader was about to say this, but the words suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly realized in his mind that he had said something stupid.
The person who can be called "Team Leader Kimura" in the past two months is naturally the new leader of the Third Investigation Team, Kimura Hakutaku, who comes from a chaebol family and relied on his family's financial resources to hire Jaegers to maintain security in New Tokyo.
Just weird.
Team leader Kimura has been on a business trip for almost a week.
Why did it suddenly appear here?
His heart was filled with confusion, but Kimura Hakutaku's gentle and gentle voice continued to be heard on the radio, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Although you are not in danger, I saw your panic just now. Can anyone tell me why you are panicking?"
"Actually, I can guess the ability even without telling you."
"It's the fear of ability. Ability represents power. The power to take life and death over others is like what politicians and plutocrats have over ordinary people, and what God has over everyone's ability."
"But nothing should be like this. This world has been silent for a thousand years. People's silence for a thousand years has made this world more like hell than hell."
"No one is born high in the sky, even if they are heavenly beings, and the so-called heavenly beings are not as noble and sacred as we imagine. They are also greedy and stupid. They create oppression and fear. They are afraid of resistance. The air is full of
They are all their voices. They want to prove that they have the right to speak in this era, but it just exposes their fear of old age and frailty."
At this moment, the live broadcast signal of the Sky Tree was broadcast through various live broadcasts in a very short time, presented to the eyes of people of different identities, different statuses and different races from all over the world on the Cross Continent.
Facing the voice of Kimura Hakutaku under the tree in the New Tokyo Sky, some people were silent, some were angry and slanderous, and some just thought it was childish and ridiculous. Everyone's face showed a completely different look and expression.
expression.
However, the gentle and gentle voice on the Sky Tree loudspeaker continued this time.
"Whether he is a person with abilities or a person without abilities, everyone has his own reason for being born. The Creator will not create a completely useless person. Even if he is stepped on by others and stepped into the abyss, he will eventually be
Draw the power to defeat fear from the abyss to change everything. At that time, they will finally understand that among the options of dignity, money, power and life, power is the eternal truth!"
"As you can see, the order and rules of this era are on the verge of collapse. Only the power of facing the edge and the determination to die can allow us and our country to survive this earth-shaking wave."
"I heard the sound of the new era awakening! I heard the pendulum turning around in a circle! Status, home, dignity. Everything we have lost will be recovered by us! As for those who are aging in high places
Heaven looks at the nobles and heavenly beings on earth with fear.
The dead are gone,
The king is no longer king.
Did you hear that?!"
The words on the radio echoed in the drizzle falling with the night at an unknown moment, and the originally noisy and restless square suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the gorgeous fireworks rising into the sky,
All the turmoil and tragedies that have occurred in Wano over the years suddenly came to mind.
Those human beings who died tragically at the hands of heavenly nobles.
Those mysteriously missing teenagers.
Those old people who staged demonstrations and fell under the Erzhong Bridge.
Even under their feet, two months ago, the sensational "Sky Tree Bloody Night" took place here due to the cruelty of the Adjudication Division.
They are numbly accustomed to this.
But everything.
It shouldn't be like this.
What exactly went wrong?
Most of the people who came to the Sky Tree Plaza today were young people.
Being young does not mean that they are fools who blindly believe in the government. It just means that they have been oppressed for too long and too harshly in the past ten or twenty years since they were born. The recent turbulent situation in Wano has kept them at home for so many days, and they urgently need someone to vent their anger.
window, how could I not be clear about the hidden risks of going out and gathering just a few days after settling down.
But why do they “take” such risks?
strength.
Right, in the final analysis.
Isn’t it because they have no power?
At this moment, under the influence of some quietly spreading field, everyone in the east and west squares under the sky tree, including the tower square in the middle, stood in a daze. The word "power" appeared inexplicably in their minds, and their hearts became even more intense.
It was an urgency that aroused an unprecedented desire.
That’s right, Flowers Through the Looking Glass.
This field can not only make oneself a "flower reflected in the mirror, a moon floating in the water", but it can also affect the senses and judgments of everyone in the field, causing people's thinking to unconsciously fall into the world dominated by the masters of the field.
situation.
The Sky Tree is located on the Tembo Corridor more than 300 meters above the ground.
Kimura Hakutaku stood in front of the circular glass canopy, looking down from the sky like a "Creator" on the people with their heads raised below, with a gentle smile on his lips.
Behind him, seven members of the Jaeger team were carrying heavy black cargo boxes. After hearing Kimura Hakutaku's words, everyone had a look of shock and confusion on their faces.
They received the mission only to assist in the exploration and investigation of the hell world. They had no idea that the person who hired them would be involved in some unbelievable incident.
Vice-captain Yoshizu Ichiro swallowed his saliva, and looked at each other with Teresa and Ellenda on the side, and both saw the complexity in each other's eyes.
This is the public speech I just gave.
If I heard correctly, it should be tantamount to declaring war on the gods and the world government, right?
Can we declare war on the world government and the gods?
What a joke.
Why should he?!
As soon as this thought came out of their minds, everyone thought of the heavy cargo box they were carrying behind them, and their hearts suddenly became frightened, and their expressions became a little complicated.
These fruits are all "devil fruits" with extremely high mortality rates. If you make a deal with the devil, most people will die suddenly!
Only a very few people can survive.
Has this man bet the country's future and everyone's lives on these fruits?
I have to say,
This is a thrilling gamble!
And they may become witnesses to the beginning of this bloody history.
Or an accomplice.
But who the hell wants to get involved in this muddy water?
The faces of the members of the Jaeger team were complicated, but a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts. They could not help but recall the scene that had just happened in the hell world.
Tokugawa Ritora, Sakamoto, and Shiroyasha, who took advantage of both sides' losses that day to kill two ninth-level warriors.
Unexpectedly, in just one encounter, they were all trapped in place by the man in front of them.
The border gates will eventually close again.
If those people can't get out of the "Heaven and Earth" before then, I'm afraid they will stay in that hell world full of deathly silence and despair forever.
Just when everyone in the Jaeger team was feeling heavy and complicated, Hakutaku Kimura's warm and magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears again when countless people in the Sky Tree Square were at a loss.
"I heard the desires of your hearts, and now, I will answer your desires."
After finishing speaking, Kimura Hakutaku turned around and said warmly to Yoshizu Ichiro, who was standing behind him:
"Captain Yoshizu, please lead them to move these fruits into the elevator. Someone will take over from below."
"Ah? Uh yes!"
Yoshizu Ichiro couldn't resist the man's gaze. He finally nodded and answered bravely.
Next, the first batch of fruits brought back from the hell world were placed in the sightseeing elevator of the Sky Tree, all the way down, as if they were sent into an invisible abyss.
"Absurd! Is this guy crazy?"
The parliament building, the Prime Minister's Office, and interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi banged the tables, but everything was of no use.
He slumped down on the chair behind him with some slump, his heart filled with regret for delegating power to Kimura Hakutaku, a kind and reliable man.
He, the interim prime minister, was appointed in a critical situation and had no one to help him. He was impressed by Kimura Hakutaku's harmless smile and his generous donation to save the country from crisis. He thought that this was a rare and unique heir to a plutocratic family.
It seems now,
He is more than just different.
Just a complete lunatic.
But it was too late to say anything.
Nobuo Kobayashi, the new Foreign Minister and interim Prime Minister, knows very well that the so-called "fruit" mentioned by Hakutaku Kimura is like Pandora's box, which will never end once it is opened.
On the first floor of the Sky Tree, at the elevator entrance, there was a ding, and the downward elevator arrived.
As soon as the elevator door opened,
The boxes of fruits were taken over by a group of people from the Third Investigation Team wearing navy blue windbreakers.
These people are all old men from the fifth division led by Kimura Hakutaku in the third investigation team over the years, and everyone's face is full of pilgrim-like enthusiasm and loyalty.
"Be careful! Don't break it!"
"yes!"
Under the transportation of this team full of execution, the fruits in the black containers were quickly transported to the first floor of the Sky Tree and piled in front of the people near the Sky Tree in the square.
There aren't many words.
The members of the third investigation team silently opened the cargo box and distributed the fresh, golden-looking oranges inside to the hands of a group of people around them.
After people took it, they looked at the oranges in their hands curiously. It seemed difficult to imagine what this had to do with the power the man said on the radio, but in their minds there seemed to be a voice howling madly with hunger!
"Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear the sound that came directly into their mind, and like a greedy beast, he bit into the orange without even peeling it.
In an instant, the sweet juice filled the taste buds, and the whole person's mind froze as if a loud bell was ringing.
At this moment, he seemed to be following the vision of a stranger, hurriedly walking through this life in a completely unfamiliar world with a perspective like browsing a slideshow.
then
There is something.
It grew out of the body!
The people gathered behind the square watched the tempting oranges being eaten by others on a first-come-first-served basis. Feeling some subtle changes in their bodies, they couldn't help but pounce on them like a group of fanatics.
He raised his hands like a pilgrim and shouted:
"My mine!"
"I want it too, where's mine?"
"."
For a moment, the crowd below seemed to be going crazy, sniffing the intoxicating sweet scent in the air.
A few minutes ago, they were trying to evacuate towards the exit of the square, but now they were frantically rushing towards the sky tree in the direction of the wind.
The warm and magnetic voice sounded again on the Sky Tree broadcast. Kimura Hakutaku looked at the second batch of black cargo boxes being moved onto the sightseeing elevator and said softly:
"You don't need to worry. Everyone who comes to the square today, everyone in our country, has a chance to 're-choose'."
"Choose again? Do you really think so?"
Without warning, a strange voice came from the sky tree.
Suddenly, the smile at the corner of Kimura Hakuto's mouth froze slightly, and he saw two large sharp knives with ten thousand blade patterns appearing in the circle of light blue flowing light behind him.
One sword is carved with a lifelike Kurigara dragon, and the other sword is like a bird fluttering its wings and about to take flight. All of them exude a murderous and breathtaking aura!
After the double sword, the figure cannot be seen clearly.
The blue flames were already rushing like a mighty tide bursting through a dike, dispersing every inch of darkness around them, illuminating the huge Tianwang Corridor in the sky as brightly as a bright pearl in the middle of the night.
Cang Lei X Cang Yan!
Fire and Thunder God Slash!
There was a loud bang!
The only sightseeing elevator on the Sky Tree is accompanied by the second batch of fruits that have just been moved up.
Under this terrifying impact, a ball of terrifying light exploded, and countless glass fragments flew out.
Accompanied by the wave of flames.
In the blink of an eye, both the fruit and the elevator disappeared into the Tembang Corridor.
There was only a dark and scorched void left at the original elevator entrance, and a figure standing next to the void holding two swords and wearing a Shiro Yaksha mask.
Everyone in the Jaeger team was shocked!
They stared with dumbfounded faces at Higashinohara who suddenly burst out from behind the border gate.
He broke through Leader Kimura’s [Heaven and Earth]?
Behind him, Kimura Hakutaku lowered his head slightly, and the half-long hair on his forehead was gently brushed by the wave of flames.
Immediately, he slowly raised his head, a smile appeared on his face again and said to Higashinohara, "It seems that your injury is recovering much faster than I expected."
Higashinohara did not answer this question.
Through the glass curtain wall of the Tembang Corridor, he overlooked the enthusiastic crowd in the square below.
Silently feeling the faint realm surrounding the square like a canopy that can affect people's emotions and senses, a deep disgust flashed through his eyes.
"Is this what you call letting the people make their own choices?"
Faced with the question, Kimura Hakutaku smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "My field has never been able to change people's inner thoughts. It can only guide and amplify their innermost true desires and give them the courage to try."
After finishing speaking, Kimura Hakutaku looked at the dark and burnt elevator next to Higashinohara. The smile that always hung on the corner of his mouth finally faded away little by little, and he said in a low voice:
"No matter what you think, there is one thing you can't deny. I and all the people who have followed me now and in the future, we are all people who 'do things', and we are 'doing things seriously' for this country and for the changes of this era.
It's you instead? How should I call you?"
"A clown wearing a mask?"
"A terrorist without ideals?"
"You think you have done something righteous, but who will thank you? Isn't it because you wear a mask to hide your head and tail because you know very well in your heart that you are evading all this and evading the responsibilities that come with your own abilities?"
in the night,
Drizzle was falling from high in the sky, and the camera of Shin-Tokyo Station clearly showed Higashinohara wearing a white-faced fanged Yaksha mask.
Many nervous people sitting in front of the TV recognized this as the very popular Jaeger "Shirayasha" in New Tokyo a week ago.
But at this moment, Higashinohara lowered his head, seemingly lost in some kind of thinking.
But soon, everyone in front of the TV noticed that the masked figure under the camera raised his head again and looked firmly at Hakutaku Kimura standing opposite him.
"No, I have never claimed to be a messenger of justice, nor do I consider myself a moralist, nor do I think that my own abilities have any responsibility for the future of Wano. I have said from the beginning that if what I do
What you do can barely be regarded as justice, but it is only justice driven by interest."
"Everything I do is what I think I should do and what I think is right."
Yes, it can also improve attributes.
Under the white-faced and fanged Yasha mask, Higashinohara's voice was calmer than ever.
He continued as if answering his own question:
"What is right?
Well, murder must be paid with life, sin must be paid, good people must have a good death, and personal ambitions, no matter how great they are, should not override anyone's life."
"You said that someone always has to sacrifice, so why can't it be you? The new era is established by sacrificing the people at the bottom, no matter how beautiful you describe it.
I just think so.
Extremely filthy and rancid.”
After hearing Higashinohara's last words, the smile on Kimura Hakutaku's gentle face finally disappeared.
He looked directly at the mask on Higashinohara's face, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Having said that, it's nothing more than the sophistry of a selfish person who doesn't want to bear the moral guilt. Haha, you don't even dare to take off the Shiro Yaksha mask on your face."
"Who says I don't dare?"
Higashinohara suddenly interrupted him.
In an instant, the surrounding air suddenly became quiet.
Everyone in the Jaeger team looked at Higashinohara in surprise, and then at the TV helicopter with "New Tokyo TV" printed on it in the sky above their heads, proving that all this was happening under the live television camera.
This man who had hidden his identity for some reason was really so excited by Team Leader Kimura’s few words that he wanted to reveal his identity?
Just when they were confused,
Higashinohara had already raised his hand and placed it under the large Yasha mask with white fangs on his face.
Kimura Hakuto's sarcastic words were interrupted. After being slightly startled, he thought of something and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a familiar gentle smile.
It's like waiting for a good show.
Higashinohara was not playing anything but still half-hiding his face with his pipa in his arms. After raising his hand, he quickly took off the "White Yasha" mask that he had worn for almost a month.
The next moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Frozen together with it, was the gentle smile that just turned up at the corner of Kimura Hakutaku's mouth.
Higashinohara took off his Shiroyasha mask.
exposed.
A dark golden dragonfly mask.
For the first time, Kimura Hakutaku's gentle and harmless face showed a cold look. He narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Higashinohara, who was wearing a dragonfly mask, and said in an extremely low voice,
"Are you kidding me?"
However, at the same time,
When Higashinohara's long-awaited dark golden dragonfly mask appeared in front of countless people around the world through the live broadcast of New Tokyo TV.
In an instant, all major power organizations were in an uproar!
