Chapter 328 Nine Eyes and Six Paths. The Third Eye! Open!(1/2)
Chapter 328 Nine Eyes and Six Paths. The third eye! Open!
Aragaki apartment, in a narrow room.
On the tatami, the little girl Nishimaru Miria, who is seven years old today, is sitting obediently at the small square table. Her long, slightly curly golden satin-like hair shines in the light, and her clear and bright olive green eyes are staring at Higashinohara clearly.
, revealing a pitiful atmosphere.
Not far away, my aunt Coladia, wearing an apron, was facing away from the dinner or midnight snack they were preparing on the induction cooker. During this period, she brought over a cup of hot buckwheat tea and smiled at Higashinohara softly and gently.
Without asking any questions, he turned around and went to work in the kitchen again.
The living room and kitchen of the narrow rental house are not very open. Higashinohara can hear the sound of pots and pans while sitting on the tatami. Occasionally, he turns his eyes and sees the water vapor rising from the induction cooker filling the glass window behind him. Outside the glass window
It is the mottled water stains in the cold night rain.
Higashinohara picked up the cup with one hand and took a sip of the hot buckwheat tea. He leaned back slightly and supported the tatami with the other hand. He looked at Coladia's back under the warm yellow light, and then looked at the person sitting upright.
The former Nishimaru Mirashi.
For a moment, he, who was already extremely tired, could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that such a warm daily life seemed to him like he had seen it in his dreams.
Once upon a time, Higashinohara, who had just arrived in this strange world, was full of the high morale of a working emperor. His goal was just to save money to buy a 50-square-meter second-hand apartment in the bustling city of New Tokyo and marry a gentle and lovely wife.
, giving birth to a well-behaved and sensible daughter - that was the ultimate life he could imagine.
But fate played a joke on him.
A "Guidebook of Sin" appeared inexplicably in his mind, and Higashinohara's strength also underwent earth-shaking changes, but his daily life was still not dull to him.
He didn't know how other people with abilities spend the rest of their lives on a daily basis, except for the moments of life-and-death battles.
But even though his own normal strength has now risen to the level of an absolute ability user above the seventh level, the life he lives in this world is almost the same as when he was still a useless person.
No. There is still a difference.
Higashinohara thought of Hakutaku Kimura's ability fruit plan comparable to "Human Purge".
If you hadn't obtained the [Sin Manual], you would have saved enough money to buy a second-hand apartment, get a gentle and lovely wife, have a child, and watch the child grow up like an ordinary person in his original life trajectory.
One day, the door of the apartment was knocked open, and cold-looking people wearing navy blue windbreakers appeared in front of the ignorant family members and handed each of them an orange, and wanted to watch them all eat it with their own eyes.
What happens after eating it?
The survival rate is one in a thousand, and the probability that a family of three will survive is one in a billion. Statistics tell us that such a small probability event can almost be regarded as an impossible event with zero possibility.
At that time, the most likely possibility was that all three members of the family died from the hallucination of the power fruit.
Even if someone is "lucky" and someone in a family of three can survive, and that person happens to be him, such "lucky" cannot be called "lucky" for most people in this world.
?
Thinking of this, Higashinohara lowered his eyelids slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Kimura Hakutaku's so-called ideals and plans are nothing more than using righteousness to coerce the lives of others and sacrificing those he thinks should be sacrificed to achieve his goals by any means necessary.
He is the same as Dongsen Valley, who is known as "our Prime Minister". It is no wonder that the two joined forces more than ten years ago.
In contrast,
It seems that Higashinohara can only save people but not the country.
But even if Kimura Hakutaku's plan can really save the country, if he could do it all over again, he would still kill him without mercy tonight.
Just imagine, there are only 200,000 "lonely ghosts" left in the country of Wano who are burdened with revenge and killing. Even if it survives the World Conference and continues through some kind of plan in the way planned by Kimura Hakutaku.
But is that still the old Wano country?
Higashinohara didn't think so.
But at this time, although he did not regret it, Higashinohara could not help but frown slightly when he thought of the [Seeds] that he had not collected after killing Hakutaku Kimura in the Tenwang Corridor and the indescribable sense of spying.
"Big brother, big brother."
At this time, Nishimaru Miria's childish voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"What's wrong?"
Higashinohara came back to his senses, the gloom on his face receded, and he looked at Nishimaru Miria with a gentle smile.
Nishimaru Miria, who had just witnessed Higashinohara's frown, opened his mouth hesitantly, but couldn't help but said, "Brother, I, we are all worried about you, can you not leave suddenly for such a long time in the future?
"
Hearing Nishimaru Miria's serious words with a slight smile, Higashinohara couldn't help but raise his hand and rub Nishimaru Miria's slightly curly golden hair, feeling the satin-like silky smooth texture on his palm, and nodded with a smile.
He replied, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Nishimaru Miria blinked her big eyes after hearing this, stared at Higashinohara for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Big brother is lying."
"Huh?" Higashinohara was a little stunned.
Nishimaru Miria turned her head and glanced at her aunt Coladia, who had her back to them, and suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "Brother, I saw you at night. On TV."
Higashikata couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Then I thought about the fact that this little guy Nishimaru Miria has known her identity since last year, and it was normal to hide it from her. After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Then do you think I did the right thing?"
After hearing this, Nishimaru Miria immediately nodded her head and said, "Yeah."
"Why?" Higashinohara asked.
"Because big brother is a good person." Nishimaru Miria said without thinking.
Higashinohara was stunned by the little girl's simple logical thinking, and then he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
The world of a child is either good or bad. If you are a good person, then the person you kill will naturally be a bad person.
"The bad guys must die."
Nishimaru Miria suddenly said righteously.
After she finished speaking, she shrank her head, took a furtive glance at Higashinohara, and moved her butt somewhat coquettishly, "This is the name of the night drama that my aunt watched recently."
Higashinohara scratched his head, and wanted to tell Nishimaru Miria that there might not be a battle between "good guys" and "bad guys" in the sky tree tonight, but he didn't know how to talk about it at the moment.
“What bad guy has to die?”
At this time, Kolodya wearing an apron came over carrying the prepared meal.
"Nothing, Miriam-chan was talking about the nighttime drama you like to watch."
"Eh? Higashino-kun, do you like watching that drama too?"
"Uh, okay."
Although Coladia was not married during the period when she came to Wano, she completely entered into the life of a "housewife", and she was quite content with herself, even more than before in the palace of the Grand Duchy of Sayash.
Be happy.
It’s just that I usually lack people to talk to.
At this time, when I heard that Higashinohara was watching the same drama as me, the desire to share and talk suddenly came to my heart. I put down the bowl, lifted my hair from my ears, and knelt down to the side to chat with Higashinohara.
Of course Higashinohara didn't have time to watch any night dramas.
But I didn’t want to spoil Coladia’s character, so I could only chat with the enthusiastic Koladia while eating, while Nishimaru Miria sniggered from the side.
Under the warm yellow light, Higashinohara chewed the fragrant rice and ate the side dishes carefully prepared by Colodia, and chimed in with a few gossips from time to time.
In the small rented house on a rainy night, the atmosphere suddenly became a little warm.
The warmth is a bit unreal.
It’s hard to imagine that more than half an hour ago, Higashinohara was still in the Sky Tree Tembo Corridor in Sumida District, which is more than 300 meters above the ground.
Under the live broadcast of New Tokyo TV,
In front of countless people around the world,
After crawling out of the hell behind the border gate, he quickly killed Abraham, an old man from the Tianlong clan, and Hakutaku Kimura, the leader of the Third Investigation Team of the Metropolitan Police!
But more than half an hour later, he was sitting at the dining table enjoying this warm supper.
Um. Right.
I don’t know what happened to Lucy and Daniel inside when I and Abraham came out from behind the border gate?
But Lucy is a noble of the Saint-Maro Empire, and the Saint-Maro Empire is a superpower on the Cross Continent alongside the United States of Tagos.
Most of the official forces left behind at Sky Tree after Kimura Hakutaku's death will not offend the nobles of a superpower when Wano Country is currently in turmoil.
After dinner, Higashinohara rejected Kolodya's enthusiasm to help clear the dishes and asked her and Nishimaru Miria to go back to their room next door to wash up and rest.
Although Higashinohara's body is very tired and exhausted, he is not unable to move. He can still do small things like washing dishes.
In addition, he also wanted to take advantage of simple manual labor such as washing dishes to clear his mind and sort out the gains and losses after tonight's battle.
After closing the door, turning on the faucet, Higashinohara put all the dishes in the sink.
Amidst the sound of running water, although his hands were gently washing the dishes, his consciousness had already been immersed in the dark "Guilty Manual" in his mind, and his attention was first focused on the personal attributes panel.
[Power: 69.9 (weak)]
