Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 294 Devil Fruit? !

  Pujiang River, opposite to Mingsha Island.

  dangdangdangdang—!

  A burst of dull and heavy bells pierced through the lifeless gray rain, and came from the direction of the church behind the rows of abandoned factories in the south. It sounded like a death knell before death.

   "It's really bad luck."

  Arenda from the Jager Organization dragged his injured right leg, limped, and sat with difficulty at the warehouse door of an abandoned factory with the support of the woman in the pink peacock feather mask.

  The woman crouched on the ground, methodically found the gauze in the medical kit and bandaged the wound on his leg. A dazzling bright red soon seeped out from the inside of the gauze.

   It's not without reason that Allenda complained about being unlucky.

After being attacked by pirates in the morning, a group of people encountered a large-scale wave of terrifying strange demons. In a hurry, they packed up their supplies and headed eastward along the dry and decayed river without any stop on the road, but they still encountered head-on attacks. coming attack.

  In the direction of the downstream estuary where they were going, there were actually a large number of strange demons in groups.

  Although they didn't know if they were with the strange demons who were following them, they were caught in a predicament of attacking back and forth, so they could only temporarily stay in place in this abandoned factory.

  Ailenda was injured at that time, the knee was hit by a strange demon's wind ability, and a shocking puff of blood shot out on the spot.

In fact, if Higashinohara hadn't rushed ahead of everyone and made a lightning-quick shot in time, Ellenda's right half of his leg might have been cut off by the terrifying wind blade at this moment, which also made many people feel uneasy. Can't help but be afraid for a while.

Although they are all absolute ability users above the seventh level, those with non-physical system ability are not invincible, not to mention that the abilities of these strange demons are so weird and tricky, completely beyond the recognition of human beings for more than a thousand years. Knowledge makes people hard to guard against.

  At this time, everyone began to rejoice in Kimura Baituo's decision to let them evacuate to avoid the battle, otherwise, if they really wanted to confront that kind of ghost, they might not die or peel off their skins.

  In contrast, the man in the white-faced yaksha mask with fangs and fangs really surprised everyone in the hunting squad, as if he had some "mortal" enmity with those strange monsters.

  Although he didn't disobey Team Leader Kimura's order to retreat, once a strange monster came up and the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the figure of that man would always be active in the front line after the break, he was simply the "invincible king of break" of their team.

This guy.

  What kind of enmity do you have with those strange demons?

   Just as the gentleman Allenda was thinking about this with a strange expression on his face, the ear-mounted communicator next to his ear made another hasty sound, and the voice in it was the hunter of the hunter team who was in charge of scouting the surrounding situation.

   "Team leader Kimura, there are also a lot of strange monsters on the east side of the factory."

   "North side! There are also strange demons surrounding the river on the north side."

  Hearing these two consecutive reports, everyone's hearts suddenly hung up!

  They were chased from the west by countless dense army of strange demons, and now they are suddenly attacked from three sides. The situation seems a little bad.

   However, there is a saying that misfortunes never come singly.

   Just when everyone was in fear, the voice they least wanted to hear came from the voice next to their ears.

  In the direction of the church on the south side of the abandoned factory building complex, that is, the direction where the bell just sounded, someone actually found the figure of a strange demon surrounded on a large scale.

   East, West, North, South, Front, Back, Left, Right.

   They are surrounded.

  At this moment,

  Many people were stunned.

   They are very familiar with this scene, perhaps they and even the ancestors of the entire human race are very familiar.

  When ancient humans hunted and killed their prey, they used the panic in the prey's heart to force them step by step into the encirclement circle that had been set up.

   But those walking dead monsters outside.

  This scene silently proves that those ghosts in this **** world were once human beings? Or are they mocking them who fled in embarrassment and degenerated into prey?

  Hearing the voice in the communication voice, Higashinohara's face also changed subtly.

  He went outside and looked in the direction of the east. From their distance, he could still see the Pearl Tower obliquely inserted into the dark clouds like thick ink like a steel giant.

  He had fought with these strange demons just now, and he clearly knew that most of this terrifying group of strange demons were second-level green excellent strange demons.

   According to the experience he summed up after coming to this world twice, although such strange monsters are much stronger than the first-level "unconscious" gray ordinary strange monsters,

   But to be honest it's pretty limited,

  The degree of self-awareness they retain is not enough to drive them to make such a strategy.

  That is to say, Higashinohara and the others are under heavy siege this time, and behind them there must be strange monsters like Ling Wei or even far surpassing Ling Wei who are coordinating the overall situation.

   While Higashinohara was thinking for a while, he suddenly heard a movement in his ear.

   Turning her head, she found that it was a familiar sea-blue peacock feather mask. Teresa quietly stood beside Higashinohara, looking sideways in a certain direction.

   Higashinohara followed her gaze and looked at the injured Arenda and the woman wearing a pink peacock feather mask snuggling beside him.

  Compared to Teresa, that woman spoke very little, and Higashinohara hasn't heard a word from her since yesterday.

  At this time, he noticed Teresa's gaze. Although he couldn't see the expression under her mask, Higashinohara couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The relationship between these three people is really a bit confusing.

  Teresa quickly looked away, regained the calmness of the queen of the sea, walked up to Higashinohara with a smile and said, "Shirayasha-kun, the situation is a bit bad this time, what should we do next?"

  Higashi Nohara didn’t expect Teresa to ask himself this question, he hesitated for two seconds, shrugged and said, “Sorry, you have to ask Team Leader Kimura about this, after all, Team Leader Kimura arranged for this evacuation.”

  Hearing Higashinohara's words, Teresa couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

  Of course she knew that the person who should ask now was Baituo Kimura, but Higashinohara's performance along the way was really too brave.

  Teresa knew how to use her advantages as a woman to stimulate men's desire for protection since she was a teenager. This is her way of survival.

   Not to mention that today in this dangerous lost world, full of all kinds of strange and strange things, there is a man who is completely powerful and calm to the point of terror beside him.

   Teresa subconsciously wanted to hug her thigh, but the other party was unmoved.

   Just when she was feeling a little bitter, a familiar unhurried voice came from the ear-mounted communicator next to everyone's ears again, and it came from Baituo Kimura, no accident.

   "Please gather in the factory warehouse in a minute, I have something to announce."

  Hearing the voice from the voice, everyone couldn't help but calm down a little. The people who stayed outside began to gather in the direction of the warehouse of the abandoned factory.

  Higashi Nohara took a look at the distance outside the factory. With the blessing of nine eyes and six paths. The first glance, he had excellent eyesight and saw the rustling shadows in the shadows of the buildings in the distance.

   Not surprisingly, those guys will arrive here soon.

   At this time, don’t continue to escape and choose to hold a meeting?

  He frowned slightly, but turned around and walked towards the warehouse.

  In the factory warehouse, people scattered around gathered one after another, but Baituo Kimura was nowhere to be seen.

   After almost all the personnel arrived, Kimura Baituo, who was wearing a navy blue windbreaker, came slowly accompanied by the vice-captain of the hunting squad, Yoshizu Ichiro.

   Yoshizu Ichiro, who was following behind, was carrying a black lockbox in his hand, and his expression seemed a little excited.

  Everyone around saw the appearance of the Lord, and their worries about being surrounded by strange demons gradually calmed down.

  After all, in their cognition, the gentle smiling leader Kimura in front of them can be said to be the man who knows the world best among them.

  But then, as Baituo Kimura took the black combination box from Ichiro Yoshizu behind him and put it flat on his arm, he opened it slowly with his other hand in front of everyone.

  In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted.

  The black lockbox is not the exciting banknotes, but the blue apples arranged vertically and horizontally and neatly arranged one by one, which are countless times more exciting than the banknotes.

Each of these cyan apples is about the size of a girl's fist, with a smooth and youthful appearance, but in this lifeless world, it is full of vitality, as if it has just been picked from a tree, and it immediately attracts everyone. people's attention.

  Kimura Baituo gave a dry cough, cleared his throat, and showed a familiar gentle smile under the half-long bangs on his forehead.

"Everyone has performed very well in the past two days, and your daily rewards have been deposited into your private accounts in Citibank on time. You don't have to worry about this, but next, I think I should fulfill my promise. "

  Kimura Baituo paused, and continued, "I don't know if any of you here have heard of the 'Ability Fruit'."

"Oh, right."

  Kimura Baituo shook his head, smiled and continued, "It doesn't matter whether you have heard of it or not, because what is placed in front of you now is not the fruit of ability."

   Speaking of this, his eyes swept over the slightly suffocated crowd below, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Its real name is...'Angel Fruit'."

  Hearing the words "angel fruit", the noisy and restless abandoned factory warehouse suddenly fell silent!

All the fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts were washed away by this crisp green apple in front of them, leaving only all kinds of "angel fruits" that were priceless in the black market in their minds. All kinds of news and rumors come from hearsay.

  The ones who entered the hunting squad this time are all seven-star hunters. At their star level, they can earn enough money.

   Therefore, although the "daily salary" offered by Kimura Baituo is attractive, it is not enough for them to risk their lives for it.

   What really attracted everyone was naturally the "extra reward" that Kimura Baituo said.

  A person with dual talents

  Among all beings in this world, awakening talent is a gift from God.

   But no one will be satisfied because of this kind of gift, who is not eager to be favored by the goddess of luck again?

  Oh. It seems that some people are not very concerned about this.

   But anyway, these coveted "angel fruits" are right in front of you.

  At this moment, whether it was Arenda who was limping due to injury, or Teresa who had just turned around Higashinohara, the focus of everyone's eyes in the warehouse was focused on one place.

A gentle smile appeared on the corners of Kimura Baituo's lips, and he said to everyone: "It seems that I don't need to say more, everyone knows the meaning behind these 'angel fruits', the biggest feature of these fruits is that they don't need to be like before. At the same risk of "making a deal with the devil", after eating it, you need to go through a short adaptation period before you can get a new ability safely, and the extra surprises I prepared for you this time, their grades All of them are blue fruits of the third level."

  Hearing this, everyone in the warehouse breathed again.

  The blue fruit represents the blue high-risk ability.

Everyone in the Hunter Squad was born differently and had different starting points. Even though they are all of the strength of the seventh-level absolute ability users now, the low-level talents that have been awakened have restricted their future growth on the seventh-level road—this is thousands of things Over the years, it has been the cage and nightmare of countless seventh-level absolute ability users.

  However, now, they have a chance to re-elect.

  Kimura Baituo didn't mean to tantalize people, he quickly asked Yoshizu Ichiro, the captain of the hunting team, to distribute these fruits to everyone in the warehouse.

  These fruits are evenly distributed in the black code, green and smooth, round and attractive. There is no logo on each fruit, and Yoshizu Ichiro is also distributed completely at random.

  This also means that the ability of everyone to get the fruit in their hands may also be a completely random ability.

  This kind of unknown and uncertainty suddenly made everyone feel anxious and worried about gains and losses

Higashinohara stood at the back of the crowd, and waited until the seven people in front of him had finished taking, Yoshizu Ichiro walked up to Higashinohara who was wearing a white-faced fangs Yaksha mask, and handed over the last "green apple" left in the alley gave him.

   For this outstanding new seven-star hunter, Yoshizu Ichiro, who also belongs to the [Dark Scarlet] hunter organization, has paid attention to this for a long time.

But he looked up at the white-faced fang mask on Higashinohara's face, and when he handed the last "green apple" to Higashinohara, he suddenly said softly, "This is a special gift prepared by Team Leader Kimura for you." .”

special gift?

  Higashi Nohara took the green apple, and the moment his hand touched the apple, his whole attention was attracted by the subtle and smooth touch, and a voice full of temptation emerged in his mind inexplicably.

   "Eat it!"

   "Eat it!"

   "Eat it!"

  “.”

   Aware of Higashinohara's absence, Yoshizu Ichiro didn't pay too much attention.

  In fact, every ability user including him will have such and such voices in their minds when they come into contact with such a precious and rare "angel fruit".

  Yoshizu Ichiro thinks this should belong to a kind of subconscious soul resonance, just like human beings naturally desire to become strong and strong.

   In front of the crowd in the warehouse, Kimura Baituo, who was standing there peacefully, also noticed Higashinohara's absence, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  At this time, he glanced at the dark cloud-like scene under the black sky outside the factory, and seemed to see a farther place.

   After a while, he withdrew his gaze, and with a chuckle, he woke up the absent-minded hunters holding fruits in their hands, and said,

   "Do you want to hunt us? But we are not prey, so now, please eat the 'angel fruit'."

   "Fruit needs to grow,

   while fighting,

   is the best soil. "
