Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

The evil wolf Hu Qiaote may not have understood until he died, why he had honed his boxing skills on the sea for most of his life, and he would give the ordinary boy in front of him an ordinary punch.

He is depressed!

He is manic!

He was baffled!

But at the moment before his death, the evil wolf Hu Qiaote inexplicably recalled the words that Higashinohara said calmly just now.

"Yes, I killed him."

A simple sentence, but let the evil wolf Hu Qiaot experience a very complicated spiritual journey, from a brief stun at the beginning, to absurd and ridiculous when he regained his senses.

Immediately, it turned into astonishment and anger that was blasted out by Higashinohara's "ordinary punch"!

Finally, before dying, when that simple but unavoidable punch gradually enlarged in his pupils

At the moment of dying,

A kind of complicated and unspeakable panic and panic surged in the evil wolf Huchot's heart, and a horrifying thought could not be restrained in his mind.

This kid.

Will it not lie?

It's strange, isn't it? Even though the danger of his own death was right in front of him, the evil wolf Hu Qiaot inexplicably came up with this matter in his mind, and fell into a dazed shock and confusion again.

Fortunately it's over now.

Dead people don't need to think too much.

However, at this moment,

Higashinohara was also lost in thought.

With the [Scale of Quicksand. Fourteen Times Speed] just now, Higashinohara was able to easily enter the state of this unrestricted realm after [Agility] reached 70 comprehension realm.

Only this time seems different.

In the past, at the speed at which Higashinohara entered this state, for example, the last time he faced Shelby Pirate's Rain Demon Sheila, he seemed to have never had this kind of terrifying combat power to kill the same level with one punch, and he had to rely on swordsmen. weapons like that.

So what has changed?

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's eyes couldn't help but fall on the attribute panel of the [Sin Manual] in his mind.

[Agility: 72.5]

【Strength: 69.5】

[Physique: 69.9]

In contrast, apart from the fact that his agility did not improve significantly after reaching the theoretical "threshold" not long ago, the two attributes of [Strength] and [Physical] have made a qualitative leap. Thirty o'clock in one fell swoop has risen to the edge where half a foot has stepped into the seventh order.

Gradually, a thoughtful look appeared on Higashinohara's face. He felt that he had caught something faintly, and he also verified his original guess and choice.

That is, the improvement of attributes and strength is not linear, but a nonlinear parabola. After any attribute reaches the theoretical threshold, the expected value of continuing to improve will become lower.

At the beginning, he wanted to bypass the "threshold" and continue to improve his strength, so he had to curve to save the country, starting from other attributes, and chose the two attributes of [strength] and [physique].

Looking at it now, since he can kill the evil wolf Hu Qiaote at the peak of the seventh stage and the second stage, then his strength is at least the seventh stage and the third stage, and he is even capable of the seventh stage, the fourth stage or even the fifth stage.

This shows that this path is indeed correct.

However, Higashinohara felt that in this world, relying on attribute points to improve his strength, he was really a strange outlier, and the ability stage of ordinary ability people could no longer accurately assess his strength.

If you want him to say, if there is no temporary attribute point bonus in the normal state, even the ability of the seventh stage and the fifth stage of his current level may have the power to fight.

To say "invincible at the same level" is not an exaggeration.

But it's not enough to meet the eighth level.

You must know that the seventh to eighth order is not a simple improvement of the literal number on the level.

If you want to make an analogy, it is tantamount to the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons. His current attributes are still in the range of the seventh-order. Under normal circumstances, those with eight-order abilities may not be able to do it.

Higashinohara pondered these in his heart

At this moment, there was a rustling footstep behind him, and he turned his head to see Lucy and Daniel walking carefully.

At this moment, the two of them stared directly at the evil wolf Hu Qiaoke who was still standing in the same place not far in front of Dongye Yuan, but with the back of his head facing them.

"Is this guy dead?"

Lucy was a little unsure.

Daniel glanced at the evil wolf Hu Qiaoke again and turned his back eighty degrees to the back of their heads. He couldn't help but rolled his Adam's apple, swallowed and said, "If you read it right, it should be too dead to die. already."

Hearing the repeated confirmation of her companion, the tense string in Lucy's mind, who had been chased for almost a whole day, suddenly relaxed, and the whole person almost collapsed and fell directly.

But now is not the time.

Lucy stabilized her body and glanced at Higashinohara who turned her head.

The latter had a gentle smile on his face, but Lucy felt that the smile was a little dazzling and unreal.

The man in front of him who just punched the evil wolf Hu Qiaote's head 180 degrees with one punch was still unable to compete with the dying man they picked up in the stagnant water in the Jiangdao yesterday. The men of the day are linked together.

How can anyone in this world be "old, weak, sick and disabled" one day before, and like "God descended to earth" the next day?

Unless he pretended from the beginning, the terrifying injury definitely didn't look like a fake.

Looking at the smile on the face of the man in front of her, although Lucy thought that she was a bit handsome, it was not enough for a man she had never met to use "self-mutilation" to approach her.

Then there seems to be only one possibility left

Lucy's face became serious.

perhaps

Have you underestimated your own beauty?

Just as her mind turned a thousand times, all kinds of messy thoughts flashed through.

Daniel next to him was much more direct, and straight to the point, he raised questions that only men would care about.

"That. How did you do it?"

Higashinohara turned his head to look at him, with a calm smile on his face, "He said one more punch, I'll do another punch."

"." Daniel choked for a while, his face full of disbelief, "That's it?"

"Maybe I'm 'faster' than him." Higashinohara added an explanation.

Lucy, who wanted to ask something, was choked by Higashinohara for a while, and the words got stuck in her throat, and it took a long time to swallow all the doubts and confusion.

She had a hunch in her heart that if she followed along, she would definitely be depressed to death by Higashinohara's answer.

Higashinohara turned his head and looked at Lucy, who was about to speak, but stopped, and wanted to be stuck in her throat. She waited quietly for a while, and found that she was holding back and didn't ask, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, since the troublesome pursuers have been cleared, let's stay here tonight." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards Pujiang Community first.

Lucy and Daniel looked at each other involuntarily.

After Higashinohara entered the Pujiang Community, Lucy, who was left behind, couldn't help but leaned beside Danier and started talking in a whisper.

The two talked for a long time about "why this guy who was dying yesterday was suddenly so fierce", but couldn't find a reasonable explanation, and in the end they could only helplessly follow the footsteps and enter the community.

But after Lucy calmed down, she couldn't help but squinted slightly when she looked at Higashinohara's back.

She is not a fool, although she had guessed the extraordinaryness of Higashinohara on her back when she encountered the strange monster at the Pearl Tower at noon, but she did not expect that it would be "extraordinary" to such an extent.

But since that's the case, she might as well make mistakes and make plans. Even if Higashinohara was really greedy for her beauty and deliberately approached her, they also found a strong thigh in this unfamiliar world.

Not to mention.

Look closely at this guy,

Actually it doesn't look disgusting

Lucy thought so reservedly in her heart.

Unexpectedly, after they returned to Pujiang Community to camp again, it was dinner time. Higashinohara put forward the suggestion of "let's say goodbye to this tomorrow morning".

"why?"

Lucy, who was nibbling on a nutrition bar, was in a hurry.

Daniel was also stunned for a while. He noticed that the old sister Lucy winked at him madly. After being stunned, he understood and quickly said, "Don't! Although we met by chance, we have rescued you in this hell world, and you will too. Saving us is considered friendship and fate, and now there are still four days before the next border gate opens again, we might as well get together to watch and help each other."

Speaking of this, Daniel hurriedly added, "Of course, I know that you should be a strong seventh-order peak, an out-and-out master, but we are not weak, if that guy hadn't restrained Sister Lucy today. The strength has long been smashed, and we will not hold you back."

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help but smile. Knowing that they thought too much, he shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"You also saw my injury yesterday, and you should know that I was injured by someone. Although I also killed that person, there are more powerful people behind him. If you are with me, I am afraid there will be unnecessary danger."

Although the two who had just fallen behind were far away, they did not hear the words "I killed Shelby, the dark devil" that Higashinohara said to the evil wolf Huchot.

But since Higashinohara showed his strength today, no matter who can see how strong the opponent who injured him is.

Not to mention that according to Higashinohara's description, the next person who is going to trouble him is Lucy and Daniel, who are more terrifying and powerful than before, and looked at each other in dismay.

How to do?

In the next second, Lucy said without hesitation, "If you are afraid of affecting us, then you don't have to. Today. Today is someone who made a mistake. If it is someone else, you will know my [Judgment]. Hammer] how powerful."

Higashinohara glanced at Lucy whose mouth was harder than her fist, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

If I remember correctly, the old man named Abraham who forcibly suppressed him from afar when he beheaded Vincent, an old man of the Skyhawk tribe, was also a power-type person.

And Lucy is also a power-type ability.

But the sense of oppression that the two bring to Higashinohara is undoubtedly the difference between the firefly and the sun and the moon.

Can't be compared at all.

If Lucy, a power-type person, encounters a ninth-order powerhouse like Abraham, Higashinohara feels that he has not had time to see how powerful she is. I am afraid that she will be hit by dimensionality reduction even with a hammer.

Of course, even if this is the truth, Lucy is well-intentioned after all. Higashinohara didn't say anything after hearing the words, smiled and said sincerely:

"Of course I'm not afraid of being dragged down by you, but my current situation is a bit complicated, and it's hard for me to guarantee whether the other party will have any means to track me down. That guy is a powerful enemy that I can't deal with now. I'm afraid you will suffer when you stay with me. implicated."

Speaking of this, Higashinohara paused and said seriously, "You can think about it and give me an answer tomorrow morning. If you are still willing to walk with me tomorrow, then we will make other plans."

After saying this, Higashinohara thanked him after dinner, and went back to his sleeping bag at the camp.

At this moment, Lucy and Daniel behind him also felt the seriousness of Higashinohara, and they frowned for a while and fell into serious thinking.

Night falls.

Time quickly entered the night.

March 22.

The third night that Higashinohara spent after returning to the Sky Tree [Border Gate].

Speaking of which, the experience of this trip to hell is really a bit embarrassing. In just three days, he encountered two chases and kills, as well as all kinds of potential dangers at the moment.

Thinking that there are still more than four days before the gate of the border will be opened next time, that is, on the afternoon of March 27, Higashinohara's face could not help but turn a little dignified.

To be honest, his return to the hell world this time is entirely for the purpose of brushing more alien demons to obtain source power points to develop the purple epic ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] of talent sequence 16, so as to save as much strength as possible before trouble comes.

I never expected that I would meet the old guy from Shangjing ahead of time in this hell world.

It can only be said that people are better than God.

Fortunately, the final result saved the danger and did not let Dong Yeyuan die before he started his apprenticeship.

But after four days, it's not very good to say.

On that day, everyone living in this world will probably have to return to the anchor point under the sky tree.

Even if Higashinohara wears a mask, it is difficult to guarantee that such a ninth-order powerhouse will lock himself in other ways in a face-to-face situation.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's heart sank slightly.

However, he recovered from the serious injury, and in the evening, he experienced a "tragic battle" with Huchot, the second cadre of the Shelby Pirates-perhaps it was not miserable at all in the eyes of others, and even quite relaxed.

Only Higashinohara himself knows how much mental and physical energy he spent from breaking into Hu Qiaoke's flowing water and stagnant field to throwing out that lore punch.

It was Daniel who was vigil tonight. He originally wanted to help, but Lucy refused on the grounds that his injury was not yet healed. It can only be said that this pair of siblings are actually really good people.

In a daze, Higashinohara, who was lying in the sleeping bag, fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took.

In his somewhat hazy vision, a back figure wearing a navy blue windbreaker suddenly appeared, which looked somewhat familiar.

"Do you know that the birth of [Seed] is actually a reverse process?"

Suddenly, a very gentle voice came, and the figure walked into a simple laboratory, with his back turned to what he was fiddling with in front of some sophisticated instruments.

After the other party finished speaking, he did not wait for his reply, but continued to concentrate on operating the instruments and said:

"Any great thing must be a crazy thing in the eyes of mediocrity, and crazy things are sometimes not that complicated, we only need to complete three steps."

"First, we need to have [fruit]."

The man in the navy blue trench coat said, pointing with his back to the orange in the glassware on the table next to him.

It was a plump and mellow yellow orange, fresh and dripping as if it had just been picked, making people want to swallow it with the flesh just by looking at it.

"Extract the abilities contained in those alien demons into fruits, so that ordinary people have a chance to turn cocoons into butterflies. If they fail, they will die. Of course, the right to choose is in each person's hands."

The man lowered his head and continued talking to himself, "The second step is to purify the ability to extract into the fruit to reduce the uncontrollable 'risk' after taking the fruit, but"

Speaking of this, the man with his back turned to him paused and said slowly, "If you don't sacrifice, you can't get anything. In order to get something, you have to pay the same price, isn't it? This is equivalent exchange, or It is said to be the conservation of matter.”

"In other words, the uncontrollable 'risk' did not disappear, but was transferred from the humans who took the fruits to these fruits."

The man said so casually.

Without warning,

The crunchy green apple in front of him suddenly burst, and the pulp on the inner walls of the glassware slowly slid down like puddles of dirty mud.

At the same time, in the unclear darkness connected to the instrument not far away, a strange monster let out a painful roar, but finally slowly disappeared into the darkness.

As if nothing happened.

"This is the transfer of risk. It turns out that the success rate of fruit purification is still very low, and it can only supply a very small number of people with ability. Most ordinary people still need a certain exchange to obtain ability."

The man thought for a while in silence, and then said seriously, "This is not the will of the creator, this is also an equivalent exchange, telling us that each of us must give what we want to get."

Having said this, he chuckled lightly, "But none of these matters, the most important is the third step in the 'three steps', that is, from the fruits that ripen step by step, to obtain the infinite hope. 【seed】."

"Well, although I know you don't understand my language, I still want to tell you that the fifth-level orange monsters in this world that make you fear are not creators. The same goes for the heavenly beings.”

"Whether your world or my world, there has never been a creator."

"But it's all coming to an end. If someone can be called a 'creator' in the future, then I think it's only me who created the [seed]."

"This day may not come too late.

What do you think? "

Facing the man's questioning, Higashinohara finally realized the identity of the "his" he saw in all the haze.

He is Jiang Huai, the young man wearing three-striped epaulettes standing in the mighty wind who looked at him again today at the Pearl Tower.

And this man in a navy blue windbreaker in front of him, like a cloudless sky, a messy and disordered back quickly overlapped in front of his eyes!

The heir to the chaebol family of the Wano country

There is the leader of the third investigation team.

There is the captain of the hunter expedition team

There is a man in this laboratory in Jiang Huai's dream.

and also

The Funeral Society Snake returns to the "Doctor" in my eyes.

In the dream, when this back turned around for the first time, the face that jumped into view was none other than the man with a warm smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

Kimura Shirato!
