"Brother, will we die?"

In the dim and dark dungeon, the girl with her eyes covered with black cloth groped around, feeling the boundless cold and moist touch fed back by her fingertips, and once again squatted down and hugged her knees tightly.

Vivian, a girl from the West Asian Free Federation in the east-central region.

By some mistake, she and her brother Camilla, who had reunited after a long absence, were taken to Wano Country, thousands of miles away in the East China Sea, and imprisoned in this dark dungeon. Every day when she woke up, she could smell the faint smell of blood on the tip of her nose.

.

"No, we won't die."

Brother Camilla's face was also tied with a piece of black cloth. He raised his hand and gently stroked his sister Vivian's hair. His tone was full of a kind of power that gave confidence to capable people.

"Uh-huh."

Sister Vivian nodded vigorously.

Brother Camilla couldn't see his sister's expression. He had been locked up together for so many days and his eyes were always in darkness. He had even forgotten what his sister looked like now.

But he will always remember the appearance of the little girl when he left home to join the Red Army. Unconsciously, the image of the girl nodding vigorously and the ponytail on the back of her head jumping in the air appeared in his mind.

Camilla's heart became even warmer, and she whispered gently into her sister Vivian's ear, "Don't worry, we won't die. They will definitely have their use in bringing us back.

They won't take action until we have played our role, so you don't have to worry so much during this period."

"Really?" Vivian said.

"Has brother ever lied to you?" Camilla asked.

Vivian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said in a muffled voice, "Yes, brother, when you left home, you said you would come back."

Camilla was slightly startled, feeling a little guilty, and said in a softer voice, "This time is different. My brother will not lie to you this time. You will not die, I promise!"

"Do you remember when you were a kid? We agreed that when we got rich, we would go to the resort islands south of the South China Sea to see if those places were really like those on TV. They were like pearls set in the blue sea. Look at this

Is there really sunshine in the world that is warm but not scorching?

So you have to listen to my brother, no matter when, when I say to leave, you run! Run faster! Don’t be deceived by anyone! And don’t be caught by anyone! Go to the southern island and wait for me, I will

I’ll pick you up, and then we’ll have a happy vacation and then go home together.”

Camilla's voice became gentler.

In his soft voice, Vivian's nerves that had been tense since she was imprisoned in this dark dungeon finally slowly relaxed.

Deep tiredness came over her. Under the black eye mask, she gently closed her eyes and fell asleep. The corners of her tender lips that no one could see were slightly raised in a sweet arc.

It seems that in the dream, I really came to a warm southern island, with the gentle sea breeze blowing on my face, the rising tide, and the chirping of unknown seabirds in my ears.

Feeling the even breathing of her sister Vivian next to her, Camilla gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly, feeling secretly furious in her heart!

It was his choice to join the Red Earth Revolutionary Army, but he could not let his sister be harmed again no matter what.

After a while, the cell door was opened again, and Camilla was taken into custody by members of the execution team in black robes and brought to an office in the official residence of the Adjudication Department above.

The moment he opened the door, the Sixth Judgment made Adeline sit behind the desk and smile charmingly at him.

In an instant, Camilla's mind was filled with the lingering hellish image of this woman standing among the corpses on the ground, her body covered in the blood of her comrades in the Red Earth Revolutionary Army, and her breathing became rapid involuntarily.

"There you are, our little warrior."

"calm down."

"I believe that even for your sister, you will choose to calm down, right?"

The woman's frivolous and casual voice fell.

At the door of the office, Camilla's breathing gradually calmed down.

At the same time, the brother and sister in the dungeon were longing to meet again on the resort island south of the South China Sea.

On the resort island in the South China Sea, a certain man from the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates quietly left the resort island. Well, actually it can't be considered "leaving quietly".

When Ryunosuke Kamiya packed his luggage and was about to leave, a man wearing a purple yukata with a hell mandala and a dark golden butterfly appeared at the door of his room, blocking his way with a metal pipe and a pair of long

His eyes were still half-open and half-closed with a nonchalant look.

"Did you get that message?"

"yes."

"You're just going to die now."

"Their target is the man hiding behind the dark golden dragonfly mask in Wano. Don't worry, I just want to take a look at the gap between me and the 'Sword Emperor'."

"Is it okay not to go?"

"I won't accept it if I don't go."

"."

After a simple conversation, Sakamoto put away the metal pipe and moved out of the way.

The captain of the second division of Sakamoto's Dragon, the three-sword-style swordsman Kamiya Ryunosuke, left the Santa Pama Islands in the South China Sea alone and boarded an ocean ferry to Wano Country in the East China Sea.

February also only has twenty-eight days in this world, and almost two weeks have passed since the unexpected incident in Aragaki Apartment.

Today is February 27th, and tomorrow is the day for the academic proficiency test at the end of the third semester of New Tokyo Takehara Minami Private Academy.

Cultural assessment in the morning and ability test in the afternoon.

In one day, it was decided whether the third-year students of Takehara Minami Private Academy would upgrade and graduate when the new school year comes in April after the spring break, or whether they should repeat the grade and stay in school.

About half a month ago, Higashinohara submitted his application to skip the third grade, and the school approved his application in view of his outstanding performance at the exchange meeting.

In the past ten days, Higashinohara worked hard to seize all training time.

Because he also submitted a personal application under the pseudonym "Nishimiyai" to the Adjudication Department for a follow-up investigation of the completely blocked Sky Tree, which is open to recruiting superpowers, but it is still in the review stage.

Although Higashinohara's most prominent agility under normal conditions has made him equivalent to a fifth-level super user, he knows that he is about to face not only the academy exam, but also certain actions taken against him by the Adjudication Division this time.

.

If you fail the academy exam, you will at most have to repeat the grade, but if you cannot pass the Judgment Division, you will have to keep your life.

In addition, the serial murder case in Edogawa Ward that has attracted media attention in recent days has received follow-up information soon after that day almost half a month ago.

Higashinohara learned about the subsequent investigation of the case from Senior Sister Aragaki Mai, and it was completely consistent with his guess that day - the baby-faced girl with slightly baby fat who worked in the convenience store did indeed appear in the sky on that bloody night

Under the tree.

After the night of bloodshed in the Sky Tree, the girl and the surviving ordinary people under the Sky Tree were taken to the hospital and detained, and were later quietly taken home by their family members.

It is said that when the family members came to the hospital to pick her up, the baby-faced girl was the only one among so many people who strongly resisted being discharged from the hospital and going home with her family, so she left a deep impression on the people in the hospital.

When Mai Aragaki dictated this, her expression was a little angry.

Although the girl who works in the convenience store is a cruel murderer, her stepfather who is domestically violent towards her and her brother who often molests her are equally unforgivable.

Anyway, when she notified her family to come and claim the body, Aragaki Mai didn't have a good attitude toward the three members of the family. If she hadn't been in the Metropolitan Police Department, she would have given the father and son a beating because of her personality.

Higashinohara also felt a little emotional after hearing this.

Those who kill will always be killed.

He had no regrets about his decisive killing that night, but he felt that the baby-faced girl who died under his hands should not have followed that path.

The start of her life may not be perfect, she may have a tight life, or she may need to use her vacation time to work in a convenience store like Higashinohara.

But she is still in the best years of her life, she can smile brightly and wildly in the sun, and she still has a lot of youthful time waiting to be squandered. People are mortal, but at least they deserve a correct death.

Higashinohara and Aragaki Mai are different.

He knew that the cause of all this tragedy might be the family environment of the baby-faced girl, but the direct cause of the tragedy that finally reached this stage was the so-called "strange monsters".

Or to be more precise, it was the 10,000 people who invaded the Sky Tree radio tower and made a seemingly righteous speech to liberate all mankind against heaven and finally opened the "Pandora's Box".

The ambition and ambition of the man behind the scenes may really be what he said, everything is for all mankind.

But he never asked the thoughts of the ordinary people who helped him realize these aspirations and ambitions. He was like the Creator above, imposing his will on everyone's head.

Then sacrifice a large number of people, fulfill a small number of people, and arbitrarily control the life and death of others. What is the difference between this behavior itself and the world government of heaven and man?

At that time, Higashinohara didn't have time to think about it carefully.

But during this time, he connected the last strange demon that appeared in the Sky Tree with the strange demon that descended on the snake Ghouigo at the Sakura Crossing in Mubetsu Town last year. However, in his mind, he inexplicably remembered what happened after he created the "Funeral Society"

The "Doctor" who remains elusive to this day.

At that time, from the "Character Profile" of Kaigo Snake Nago, although the mysterious doctor never showed his true face even to his own people, from the conversation scene, it seemed that the other party was related to the Metropolitan Police, and might even be someone from

The mole in the Metropolitan Police.

So could the man who invaded the radio lecture under the sky tree be the so-called "Doctor"?

Higashinohara feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

And the possibility is extremely high.

But regardless of whether the other person was the mysterious "Doctor" or not, what these two people did made him feel extremely disgusted and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

One day, if you encounter someone who is in the crime manual, if you try to use some so-called "lofty ideal" to kidnap him morally, he will only respond with a sharp knife in his hand.

In Higashinohara's view, anyone who regards sacrificing others as a means or way to realize his ideals cannot be called noble.
