Countless silver-gray raindrops blown by the wind crackled on the double-glazed glass of the Tembang Corridor.
The man onlookers looked away from the winding water marks on the transparent glass and looked again at the two men standing opposite each other in the Tianwang Corridor.
One is a gentle middle-aged man with half-long black hair and wearing a navy blue windbreaker from the Third Investigation Team, and the other is a young man whose face is unclear, wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask and holding two extremely sharp knives.

The screen was still just a moment ago.
But the next moment,
When the man as a bystander cast his gaze carefully,
The scene suddenly changed from extremely still to extremely dynamic.
A man wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask and holding two extremely sharp knives stepped out.
Not forward!
It's down!
The air ripped apart by the pair of knives set off a terrifying wave, and the entire Tianwang Corridor was swept by the terrifying light of the knives. In an instant, all the lights were extinguished like candles blown by the wind.
Even from the onlooker's perspective, this scene instantly fell into darkness like a black screen.
Just very quickly.
The lights in the Tianwang Corridor gradually brightened again.
But fighting...
No, the war is over.
In the picture, a man wearing a dragonfly mask appeared behind the man wearing a navy blue windbreaker in a moment, with a large sharp knife in his hand.
The Secret of the Three Sword Styles, the Black Wind, and the Six Paths of Tsuji!
The next moment,
A man in a navy blue windbreaker with a gentle smile suddenly shot out three scarlet blood arrows from his neck, chest, abdomen and heart.
At this moment, from the perspective of a bystander, it looks even more shocking!
The man onlookers stood quietly,
Quietly, I don’t know how many times I have watched the scene of “my” death over and over again.
His brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he said softly, "That's almost enough. I replay the scene of 'myself' death in my mind every day, is it to remind me to always thank you for your life-saving grace?"
That’s right!
This "bystander" in the fierce and bloody battle just now turned out to be "Kimura Hakutaku" who was beheaded by Higashinohara at the Tokyo Sky Tree in Wano Country not long ago.
at this time,
Kimura Hakutaku's voice fell,
At some point in the corner of my mind, a beautiful girl wearing the uniform of New Tokyo Women's University appeared. Her eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Kimura's, and she stood there with a bright smile and her hands behind her back.
She said with a smile:
"Are you grateful? No, no, no, don't you think that the speed with which that young man drew his sword is like an 'art'?"
Kimura Hakutaku was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said in a moderate tone, "Maybe so, but I can't appreciate the art of being 'killed' myself."
The figure of the girl wearing the uniform of New Tokyo Women's University suddenly disappeared from where she was.
The next second it appeared in front of him again,
He raised his hand and rubbed the long hair hanging down in front of Kimura Shiro's forehead lovingly, "Don't be so stingy, A-Tuo, art doesn't distinguish between you and me."
Kimura Hakutaku allowed the "most familiar strange girl" in front of him to rub his hair.
Suddenly he asked expressionlessly:
"What about you, as an orange world-destroying alien demon 'artist', why do you want to talk to me like my sister?"
Kimura Hakutaku has a sister,
My name is Akina Kimura.
He committed suicide by taking medicine after being bullied by heavenly beings many years ago.
However, at this moment,
The frown and smile of "Kimura Akina" in his mind were exactly the same as the sister's appearance in his memory, but she smiled innocently and waved her hands, saying,
"Did I look like your sister? Or did you imagine me to look like your sister? Don't you really know?"
After the words fell, Kimura Hakuto's mind suddenly became quiet.
I don’t know how long passed,
He did not argue with the other party on this issue.
because,
What the other person said may be the truth.
Kimura Hakutaku just stared at the most familiar stranger in front of him and asked softly, "So, you rescued me through the border gate at that time, and then woke me up at this time, what was your purpose."
Hearing Kimura Hakutaku's straightforward question, the girl "Kimura Akina" did not answer.
He just walked leisurely around Kimura Hakutaku with his hands behind his back, recalling the two still figures in the picture.
——The two-sword and three-sword flow of Higashinohara's big sword seamlessly connected, tearing apart three vital points around Kimura Hakutaku's body in one breath, and also cut open the fastest ninth-level technique that Kimura Hakutaku is proud of!
An almost perfect kill.
"What an amazing art." The girl "Kimura Akina" said in admiration.
After sighing, she seemed to hear Kimura Hakutaku's question, and said with a chuckle, "My goal is, of course, to let the tide from the outside come to your world and put together the 'last piece of the puzzle' of hell."
Speaking of this, the girl "Kimura Akina" standing in front of Kimura Hakutaku playfully put her hands behind her back and gently put her ear close to Kimura Hakutaku's chest.
She said softly,
"Didn't you know this from the moment you accepted me? There are no secrets between us."
Hearing the girl's soft whisper, Kimura Hakutaku frowned slightly under his half-length hair, shook his head and said, "It should be said that I have no secrets from you, right?"
The girl "Kimura Akina" who was leaning on Kimura Hakutaku's chest raised her head and said with a smile, "Of course, a brother can't have any secrets from his sister."
Kimura Hakutaku did not argue with the other party on this sensitive issue again.
Perhaps it was because it had been too long since he had seen his sister who committed suicide by taking medicine when he was young. It had been so long that his memory of his sister Akina Kimura was somewhat vague.
Therefore, during this period of time, Kimura Hakutaku's vision of the orange world-destroying alien demon "artist" in this hell world transformed into his sister "Kimura Akina" in his mind.
Deep down in his heart, while he was deeply disgusted, there was also an indescribable feeling of love.
The girl "Kimura Akina" chuckled upon seeing this, and suddenly said in a deep tone, "Human beings are really complex and contradictory creatures. In comparison, don't you think that the human beings in this world purified by the tide are more 'pure'?
?”
"Is it pure?" Kimura Hakutaku asked.
"yes."
The girl "Kimura Akina" blinked her big flashing eyes, stared at Kimura Hakutaku, raised her slender white arms and sang like a creator:
"Every living creature's body has gained eternal life and will not be eroded by the ruthless years.
There are no complex thoughts in the mind of every living being, only the only obsession that drives them forward, and this obsession is turned into real 'power', oh, it is the [innate ability] of your world
.”
Speaking of this, the girl "Kimura Akina" paused, stared at Kimura Hakutaku and said, "Don't you think... this is the most perfect form of a creature like a human being?"
Kimura Hakutaku remained silent after hearing this.
He has similar ideas to the girl "Kimura Akina", no, more accurately, the orange demon named "Artist" in this hell.
They all want to promote the evolution of all mankind and create a world where the fittest survive.
It's just that they have different opinions on the concept of human evolution.
Kimura Hakutaku's ideal world...
It is to "eliminate" most of the useless humans through natural selection through Devil Fruit, leaving only those humans who can awaken their abilities, and then take down the heavenly beings who are high in the clouds after they invaded their world thousands of years ago...
Completely kill them all!
However, the ultimate evolution of human beings that this orange world-destroying monster "artist" who transformed into the image of the girl "Kimura Akina" hopes for is for human beings to evolve into an ageless obsession with only a straight line of thoughts left in their minds.
Immortal monster.
Their endings are not the same...
But there may really be something fateful in the dark, which is why Hakutaku Kimura encountered the orange world-destroying strange demon in this hell world a long time ago.
The two chose to cooperate by "seeking common ground while reserving differences".
Therefore, it was no accident that Hakutaku Kimura noticed the missing "seed" of Hakutaku Kimura after he was killed by Higashinohara in the battle at the New Tokyo Sky Tree.
As that saying goes,
There are very few miracles in this world.
It was at that time that Kimura Hakutaku's life seeds were absorbed and preserved by the orange world-destroying alien demon "artist" across the two realms through the border gate.
And the "sense of peeping" that Higashinohara felt on that rainy night.
Not from the helicopter overhead,
Not the crowd at New Tokyo Sky Tree Plaza,
Not from anyone...
Rather, it comes from this orange world-destroying strange demon "artist" who smiles and stares at him from afar in the hell world.
Is it just that the level of the New Tokyo Sky Tree boundary gate was too low and too fragile at that time?
It simply cannot carry the power of an "artist".
Otherwise, she could have poured the torrent of power through the border gate and easily rescued her "ally" among humans.
However, now such a "parasitic" form has brought their hearts closer to each other.
It also makes their cooperation closer.
Isn’t this pretty good?
Thinking of this, the girl "Kimura Akina" couldn't help but smile a little.
As Kimura Hakutaku said.
The "artist" said there were no secrets between them, which simply meant that he, whose body had been reshaped, had no secrets from her.
At this moment, seeing the slight smile on the other side's lips, Kimura Hakutaku asked noncommittally:
"You haven't answered my question yet. You have been controlling my body during this period. Why did you wake me up at this time?"
"Haha, did you find it?"
The girl "Kimura Akina" smiled playfully. Her eyes suddenly looked from the river and sea to Sioux City in the west, and said with a smile, "Of course it's because the door to hell has been opened again, and we have guests coming."
...
Hell world.
Sioux City, garden ruins.
Although Dorothy Alita told him yesterday evening.
——The fourth-level Purple Boundary Gate cake is far more tempting to the outside world than he imagined.
But until this very moment,
Squatting behind the jagged rockery,
Looking at the sky, it looks like dumplings falling down from the peak of the eighth or even ninth level.
