Wu Sheng stood on the edge of the balcony of his home, motionless, for a long time.

He leaned against the railing of the balcony, his elbows against the railing, propped his chin on, and quietly admired the night.

In the brightly lit bustling city, all the lights are intertwined and full of the power of life.

This unforgettable and beautiful moment, even if he watched it 10,000 times, he still couldn't get enough of it.

The long wait has come to an end.

There is finally hope that the seal on his body will be unsealed.

Even though the seal of this god-killing arrow had been less than 3 weeks, he already felt infinitely far away.

Not having power is not the same as gaining power and then losing it.

In the alternation of life and death in these months, he gradually got used to flying and fighting, and the power that contained hope was so reassuring.

Now that his power is hidden, he watched his companions enter the sin realm again and again for special training, and naturally felt lost and lonely in his heart.

If Luffy hadn't been practicing with him at Koya's house, even if he was as stable as an old dog, he would have to blow it up in two weeks.

However, this ordeal came to an end with Xia Qi's news.

Even Di Ting, it took almost two weeks to find out where Athena was.

The realm of sin is too big.

But all in all, he was lucky.

Athena was located in a realm on the second level below the transmission site of the Sinful Realm.

If it is really in the depths of the lower layer, with their current mobility, it is estimated that they may not be able to reach their destination in one summer vacation.

That's why they searched the Tokyo subway station with a magic mirror, but they still didn't find any news of Athena.

All they could search was every Crimson Tree on the upper level of the transmission site.

The lower levels are unsearchable, they don't have this huge amount of soul power.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to the battle group: "Found Athena!" ”

Then he turned around and walked back to the living room and said to Luffy, who was playing a game:

"Luffy, Miss Natsuki said that she has found Athena's location."

Luffy was concentrating on picking up trash, and he was playing a doomsday game similar to Fallout 4: "Oh, that's good! ”

Wu Sheng smiled, didn't say much, and waited for him to react.

At this time, someone in the group had already seen the news of Wu Sheng.

Sanji: "Great! Where is it? ”

Zoro: "When are you going?" ”

Wu Sheng looked at the time, and after 8:7 in the evening, he simply sent a message for everyone to come over: "Why don't you all come to my house, it's better to discuss it face-to-face." ”

"Good!" Today happens to be Thursday, and Sanji doesn't have to go to GM Tokyo to work: "Come over now." ”

"Well, five minutes." This is Zoro.

The others haven't replied yet, so they should be busy with their own business.

Wu Sheng directly picked up the phone and called them one by one.

"Hey, Takeda? What's wrong? Is the special training going to be suspended tomorrow? Please, tell me that tomorrow's special training will be suspended for a day! As soon as Usopp answered the phone, he shouted like a bead of words, "That Sauron guy is not human at all!" ”

"Hmm......" Wu Sheng hesitated and nodded: "There is really a possibility that the special training will be suspended for a day tomorrow, and I got news from Athena here." ”

"Athena?" Usopp was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "Who is it?" ”

A cross stool burst out on Wu Sheng's head: "The will to lift the seal on my body." ”

"Oh! Right! Usopp shouted, "Congratulations! ”

"Well, we still have to go to him, congratulations, come to my house quickly, let's discuss how to proceed."

"Oh oh, okay, right away!" Usopp was overjoyed to hear this, and when he was going to officially fight, the special training would really stop so that they could recover.

Then Wu Sheng called Nami and Robin again, and as for Little Chopper, he hesitated, but still called him and asked him if he was coming.

Nami and Robin readily agreed, saying they would come right away.

Chopper didn't hesitate, after a month, he had already been very familiar with Luffy.

There is no doubt that with the personalities of Luffy and Usopp, Chopper's friendship has long been blown up.

Originally, Wu Sheng thought that what kind of opportunity would Chopper officially join them.

But now he felt as if it was the same whether he joined or not, and Chopper was already one of their anyway.

After he finished a round of phone calls, Luffy finally reacted after exploring the ruins in front of him: "Found Athena?!" ”

Wu Sheng nodded.

Luffy asked again, "Are you going to start a new adventure?!" ”

Wu Sheng thought about it, they hadn't been to the lower level of the sin realm yet, and it was really a new adventure, so he nodded again.

"Hahahaha! Banzai! Luffy raised the handle and cheered loudly.

"I thought you were addicted to gaming?" Wu Sheng asked with a smile, "I didn't expect you to actually want to go to the Sin Realm?" ”

"Of course! Fighting with characters in the game, how can you have fun fighting by yourself? Luffy picked up the happy water on the table and took a sip.

Wu Sheng nodded, expressing his complete understanding of this feeling, why should he play the game if he can play? His interest in gaming has also dropped dramatically now.

On the one hand, the games of this world are not up to the level of the previous life.

On the other hand, as Luffy said, the actions they can do in the Sins Realm battle use far more abilities than the characters in the game.

That being the case, then why play the game?

The adrenaline and sensory stimulation gained during combat is far greater than in games.

The tragic irony is that he has now lost interest not only in games, but also in other things he used to enjoy, such as reading, movies, or comics.

He was thinking about fighting, but his physical condition didn't allow him to fight.

He thought for a while that it would be better to go to the Miyahara Dojo every day to find Zoro to practice swords.

But Elig stopped him, believing it to be a combined after-effect of the war, and hoped that Wu Sheng would restrain his insane desire to fight.

Sometimes, heaven and hell, sublimation and depravity, are just a fine line, and this violent desire cannot be indulged.

Wu Sheng is not a rebellious teenager who does not listen to people's advice, and he also knows that depravity is a terrible thing.

So he followed Elig's advice and calmed down to calm his restless mind with music.

His behavior is significantly different from that of a teenager of his age.

Most people are full of hormones and youthful love, or they are tirelessly pursuing their dreams and goals.

Wu Sheng has a kind of gentleness and laziness in the game world, plus he now has a stable income, even if he has to knock 3 bottles of potions every day, his daily expenses exceed his income.

But he kept convincing himself: "It's only temporary." ”

Coupled with the laziness of the traverser's ripe and salted fish, he finally waited unhurriedly for the good news.

And in the process of waiting, his own control of the desire to fight, and the cognitive reconciliation between the real world and the criminal world, reached a very stable state.

When the others arrived, they found that Wu Sheng didn't seem to be excited at all.

Usopp asked a little strangely, "Takeda, aren't you happy?" ”

Wu Sheng smiled softly when he heard this: "I'm happy." ”

"Why can't you see that?" Sanji bumped him on the shoulder: "Shouldn't it be so excited that you can't help yourself, and then shout that you'll leave tonight?" ”

"That's Luffy, right?" Nami looked at the Straw Hat Boy.

"Hahaha, it's not!" Luffy shouted angrily, "I'll shout to go shopping."

Eat! ”

"Yes." Wu Sheng nodded, took over the conversation, straightened his face, and was very serious: "This time may be very different from before." ”

"How?" Seeing his serious expression, Robin hurriedly asked.

Wu Sheng took a piece of white paper and drew a circle on the white paper: "This is the realm of sin." ”

Then he drew one small circle after another on the circle line: "These are the temples, which travel outside the realm of sin, but after being purified and blended with the realm of sin, they are in a state of fluctuation up and down. ”

"Uh-huh." Everyone nodded, they all knew this.

Then Wu Sheng drew a straight line in the middle of the big circle and divided it into two: "On the line, it is the sin realm desert we are in now. ”

He drew small trees again: "These are the transmission sites." ”

Then, without waiting for everyone to speak, he drew many parallel straight lines below the line: "But what we're going to now is the underworld below." ”

He looked up, "This is a place we haven't been." ”

Chopper also nodded: "I haven't been there either, Dr. Kureha said that the world below is very big." ”

"Yes." Wu Sheng nodded again: "Miss Xia Qi also said that the world below is very big. ”

"How old?" Nami asked curiously.

"Each layer is as big as the surface desert world, and some are even bigger!" Wu Sheng drew two diagonal lines under the big circle: "The further down, the bigger." ”

"According to what Elig told me, we will take the subway to the next floor, and each floor has a "station" that connects to the next floor, and the station that connects to the previous floor is not the same as the station that connects to the next floor. ”

"Are you still looking for a station to the lower world?" Nami understood.

"Yes." Wu Sheng nodded above the dot circle: "More importantly, we must return to the surface world in order to return to the real world. ”

"In other words, when we go down, we won't be able to go back and forth between the two worlds to get supplies?" Sanji touched his chin and beard.

"Yes, this trip may take more than a week! It's a long journey. Wu Sheng nodded, and then said: "So it's impossible to set off immediately, everyone has their own things in the real world, and they must be arranged." ”

Nami raised her hand first: "It's summer vacation now, I have a lot of time, there is no problem in drawing 3 episodes of "Notes of the Dead King" a week, just draw it in advance." ”

"I also have a leave of absence, and it is no problem to take a 5-day off." Robin then nodded.

"I'm fine, I'm ready to go." Luffy raised his hand.

"Me too." Usopp nodded.

Zoro didn't hesitate much: "As long as it's not the week of the Jade Dragon Banner." ”

"What is the number of the Jade Dragon Banner?"

"August 16th."

"It's now the end of July, with two weeks to go, and it's definitely too late."

"Well, then I'm fine."

Then everyone looked at Sanji and Chopper.

Chopper hesitated: "I'll go back and ask Dr. Kureha, and she will allow me to go." ”

"Understood." Everyone also understands, after all, Chopper is too small, and some people believe him when he is a primary school student, so they have always treated him as a mascot.

"Where's Sanji?" Wu Sheng asked, "Can you take a week off?" ”

"I can ask ......" Sanji said hesitantly, what is the big guy in his master Oka, and it is still casual to find someone to help him for a week.

However, Sanji is thinking about survival: "However, if I miss a week's work this month, I may not have any food expenses after paying the rent." ”

"It's okay, I've got this." Wu Sheng waved his hand, indicating that it was not a problem.

Sanji opened his mouth and said that he had no problem.

"Okay, let's leave on August 3rd, get ready in 5 days, and return to the real world on the 10th, whether it succeeds or not, how about it?"

"Good!" The big guys cheered excitedly.
