Higashinohara couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Knowing that they were thinking too much, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said:

"You also saw my injuries yesterday. You should know that I was injured by someone. Although I also killed that person, there was a more powerful person behind him. If you are with me, I'm afraid there will be unnecessary consequences.

danger."

Although the two people who had just fallen behind were far away, they did not hear what Higashinohara said to the evil wolf Juot, "I killed the dark Shelby."

But from the strength Higashinohara showed today, no one can tell how strong the opponent who injured him is.

Not to mention that according to Higashinohara's description, the next person who will cause trouble for him is a guy who is more terrifying and powerful than before. Lucy and Daniel couldn't help but look at each other.

what to do?

The next second, Lucy said decisively without any hesitation, "If you are afraid of hurting us, then there is no need. Today. Today is a mistake. If it were anyone else, you would know my [Judgment]

Hammer] is so powerful."

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

If he remembers correctly, when he killed Vincent, the elder of the Skyhawk tribe, yesterday, the old man named Abraham who forcibly suppressed him from a distance was also a power user.

And Lucy is also a power user.

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

They simply cannot be compared together.

If Lucy, a power user, encounters a ninth-level powerhouse like Abraham, Higashinohara feels that there is a high probability that he will not have time to see how powerful she is, and I am afraid that she will suffer a dimensionality reduction blow along with her and the hammer.

Of course, even if this was true, Lucy still had good intentions after all. Higashinohara didn't say anything when he heard this, he smiled and said sincerely:

"Of course I'm not afraid of you dragging me down, 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. That guy is a powerful enemy that I can't deal with now. I'm afraid you will suffer a lot if 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 travel with me tomorrow, then we will make other plans."

After saying this, Higashinohara thanked him after finishing his dinner and returned to his sleeping bag in the camp.

At this time, Lucy and Daniel behind them also felt Higashinohara's seriousness, and for a moment they couldn't help but frown and fell into serious thinking.

Night falls.

Time quickly entered the night.

March 22.

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

Speaking of which, this trip to hell was really a bit disappointing. In just three days, he encountered two pursuits and various potential dangers.

When he thought that there were still more than four days until the next border gate was opened, that is, on the afternoon of March 27, Higashinohara's face couldn't help but become a little solemn.

To be honest, he returned to the hell world this time just to farm more strange monsters, obtain source power points, develop the purple epic ability of talent sequence 16 [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], and try to accumulate as much strength as possible before trouble comes.

I never expected that I would meet an old guy from Beijing in advance in this hell world.

It can only be said that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations.

Fortunately, the final result turned the danger into safety, and Higashinohara did not die before he left the army.

But it’s hard to tell after four days.

On that day, everyone living in this world will probably return to their anchor point under the Sky Tree.

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

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

However, he had just recovered from his serious injury, and in the evening he experienced a "tragic battle" with Wolf Hook, the second-ranking officer of the Shelby Pirates - perhaps it was not miserable at all in the eyes of others, and was even quite relaxing.

Only Higashinohara himself knows how much energy and energy he expended from breaking into Hu Qiaoke's flowing water realm to delivering that killing punch.

The person keeping vigil tonight is Daniel. He originally wanted to help, but Lucy refused because he was still injured. All I can say is that these siblings are actually quite nice people.

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

I don't know how long it took.

In his somewhat hazy vision, a figure wearing a navy blue windbreaker suddenly appeared from behind, looking a little 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 him and was playing with something in front of some sophisticated instruments.

After the other party finished speaking, he did not wait for his reply. He continued to operate the instruments attentively and said:

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

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

The man in a navy blue windbreaker said, turning his back to him and pointing to the orange in the glass container on the table beside him.

It was a big, plump, round and yellow orange, as fresh as if it had just been picked. Just one look at it made people want to swallow it with the skin and flesh.

"Refining the abilities contained in those strange demons into fruits gives ordinary people a chance to transform into cocoons and become butterflies. If they fail, they will die. Of course, the choice is in everyone's own hands."

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

Having said this, the man with his back to him paused and said slowly, "No one can get anything without sacrifice. In order to get something, you need to pay the same price, right? This is equivalent exchange, or

It’s called conservation of matter.”

"In other words, the uncontrollable 'risks' have not disappeared, but have just been transferred, from the humans who take the fruits to these fruits."

The man spoke so carelessly.

without warning,

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

At the same time, a strange demon in the invisible darkness connected to the instrument not far away let out an extremely painful roar, and finally slowly disappeared into the darkness.

It's like nothing happened.

"This transfers the risk. Facts have proved that the success rate of fruit purification is still very low, and it can only supply a very small number of people with abilities. Most ordinary people still need a certain amount of exchange to obtain abilities."

The man thought silently for a while and said seriously, "This is not the will of the Creator. This is also an exchange of equal value, telling us that everyone must pay for what they want."

At this point, he chuckled and said, "But these are not important. The most important thing is the third step in the 'three steps', which is to obtain the endless hope from the fruits that mature step by step.

【seed】."

"Well, although I know you can't understand my language, I still want to tell you that the fifth-level orange monsters in this world that make you fear them are not creators. Those in our world who were born to stand on high

The same is true for the gods above."

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

"But all this will eventually come to an end. If anyone can be called the 'Creator' in the future, then I think it will only be me who created the [seed]."

"Perhaps this day will not come too late.

What do you think?"

Facing the man's questions, Higashinohara finally realized the identity of the "him" he saw in this hazy place.

He is Jiang Huai, the young man wearing a three-stripe epaulette who stood in the vast wind and looked at him again today when we were at the Pearl Tower.

And the man in front of him wearing a navy blue windbreaker was like a sudden enlightenment as the sun suddenly cleared from the clouds, and the chaotic backs quickly overlapped in front of his eyes!

There is an heir to the Wano country chaebol family.

There is the leader of the third investigation team.

There is the leader of the Jaeger expedition team.

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

besides

The "Doctor" in the eyes of Guiwu, the funeral director.

And when this figure turned around for the first time in the dream, the face that jumped into my eyes was none other than that man with a warm smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
