Wu Sheng walked behind Luffy, looked at the increasingly anxious dog god, and the godless Chloe, and asked, "Why don't you solve him?" Hurry up and get it done, call it a day and go for supper. ”

"He is completely different from the underworld I longed for, and I want to ask him why he quit the underworld and why he did so many things that are against morality." Luffy spoke in a low tone, his gaze crossed over the dog god and into Chloe's eyes.

Chloe naturally heard his words, looked at his strange and persistent eyes, and looked in a trance.

Born in the underworld, he naturally has the consciousness of death.

He barely stood up, raised his head, and with a flick of his right hand, a pillar of light shot from the top of the bank into the sky, relieving the rage of all the shadow legions present, and shouting to the inujin who was in a state of manic confrontation, "Alright, let's change back into human form, we admit defeat......"

The dog god turned his head, and his eyes revealed strong unwillingness: "Big brother! ”

"Stand down, and leave it to me. All these years, you have worked hard. Chloe straightened his clothes and looked like a big brother, and said to Luffy, "You know what? It is much better to change one's own pain than to be dragged forward by one's own nature. ”

“？？？” Luffy has a question mark.

Seeing Luffy's ignorant face, Chloe laughed indifferently: "Sometimes you desperately want to break free from the trajectory of fate, desperate to take the right path, but I don't know when, there is only a muddy road ahead. ”

"This is how I behave, whether it is killing people and sinking rivers, lending usury, intimidating and collecting debts, kidnapping and ransom, or faking death...... I thought, as long as I can keep walking on this muddy road, one day, the mud on my body will be dried up and left behind, right? Chloe answered Luffy's question.

"This is my morality, my way of survival, the foundation of my life, the word morality in the underworld, has never had anything to do with morality." He explained all of Luffy's doubts in one go.

He also had doubts on his face, he tried everything to break free from the quagmire, but there was a person who longed for his heart on the bright road, he knew that he was going to die, and simply asked: "The underworld has always been a frightening word, I don't understand why you want to look forward to it, can you tell me?" ”

At this time, the Shadow Legion was already retreating in an orderly manner, and Zoro and Nami leaned over to see that a few people seemed to be talking, and did not interject, standing quietly to the side, recovering their state.

"Because there is a person who is very important to me is the underworld, and his morality is completely different from yours." Luffy touched his hat: "He always avoids harming the common people, and he also personally helps innocent people from the evil of you wicked. ”

"Oh? Is he also in Tokyo? Chloe asked.

"Yes, his name is Shanks." Luffy replied.

"Oh, it's him." "What!?"

Chloe nodded, and Bucky exclaimed.

"What, you know?" Wu Sheng looked back at Bucky, Bucky and Shanks in this world also know each other?

"Ah......" Bucky didn't know what was in mind, his face darkened, no affirmation, no denial.

Chloe nodded: "The leader of the Dojima Group, I have heard of the famous for a long time, and I heard that they are a hero, and their way of acting is indeed very different from the traditional underworld. ”

Luffy's eyes lit up when he heard Clauqua Shanks, and he was unusually upright and wanted to have a compliment.

But Chloe didn't say anything more after knowing the answer he wanted, and interrupted Luffy: "I don't struggle anymore, although I can absorb the negative emotional energy of the entire temple and use it to strengthen myself, but ...... I understand now that it was just a useless struggle, I should have died a year ago, but ......" He seemed to think of the fragments of the Sin Realm that Mammon had forcibly embedded in the temple.

"Just let me die like a man." He looked at Luffy, "In return for no longer dying, I want you to spare the dog god and let him return to the consciousness of the people of the sin realm." ”

"Okay." Luffy replied dryly.

"Well, you don't look like people who covet treasures." He glanced at Bucky.

Chloe looked back at the dog god: "You are the only one of us who does not want to break away from the Kuroda group, and now that we are all dead and hungry for so many years, you can return to the sin realm and have a good meal of negative energy." ”

The dog god had changed back into human form at this time, smoking a cigar, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, and did not answer Chloe's words.

Chloe smiled, looked back at Luffy, got on his knees, propped his hands on his thighs, and lowered his head: "Come on." ”

Luffy looked at Zoro with a serious expression.

Zoro understood, pulled out the Tengu Jade, and handed it to Luffy.

Luffy took it and walked behind Chloe, without saying a word, with a swing of the knife.

Chloe's head was separated, his face was full of calm, and his head had already dissipated into the air as black particles before he hit the ground.

The entire hall exploded at this moment, and under the gloomy sky, countless pillars of scarlet light broke through the clouds and fell, shrouding the shadow soldiers in the hall one after another, and the largest pillar of light was on the dog god.

He was in the pillar of light, sucking out his cigar in one gulp, looking at Takekatsu, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami one by one, wanting to engrave their appearance in his soul, with deep hatred in his eyes, as if to say, "I will come back to you." ”

But he didn't want Chloe's self-sacrifice to be in vain, so he finally held back the anger in his heart and gradually dissipated in the scarlet pillar of light without saying a word.

The bank behind several people was empty, and the projections of human consciousness inside, negative emotions and evil thoughts, and shadow soldiers all disappeared in the pillar of light.

As if the salvation of the gods melted, a mysterious aura of pathos and loneliness that had come from a long time spread throughout the hall, and time and space were quiet.

The four of them couldn't help but be a little stunned when they looked at this glorious and spectacular scene that they had never seen before in the Aaron Palace.

After all, Ah Long directly swallowed all the shadows and negative emotions of the entire hall, and before he died, the hall was empty.

Half a minute later, the pillar of light dissipated, and all that remained of the entire hall was an empty bank.

Bucky, who was hanging on the Wusheng silver spear, looked at the core of the temple left in the place where Chloe died, swallowed his saliva, healed the scar and forgot the pain, his eyes rolled around, and his heart moved crooked thoughts again.

However, in the silent space, his saliva was unusually loud.

Luffy and the four of them came back to their senses and looked at him.

Bucky was startled, and took another "goo-dong" mouthful of saliva.

Now he reacted, Chloe hung up, it was time to settle accounts with him, he laughed a little embarrassedly, and his voice was small: "This ...... It's not that you don't know each other if you don't fight...... Is it? ”

"Hehe......" Wu Shengyin put him down with a smile, ready to start settling accounts, and continued: "Huh?" ”

Luffy picked up the core of the temple, and was not in a hurry to crush and absorb it, he also had a lot of questions to ask Bucky, the temple is the best environment, otherwise after going out, he saw the four of them holding a sharp blade around a middle-aged man, maybe he really thought they were bad teenagers.

Luffy handed the Tengu Jade back to Zoro, and he didn't go to check the harvest, and surrounded Bucky with Takekatsu left and right, feeling that he had made a new breakthrough in the lower limit of the standard for the Awakened.

"What does it feel like to be a lackey for a glutton?" Wu Sheng was the first to ask.

Bucky's face turned red: "How can you call a lackey when it comes to life!" I just want to live, isn't that right? ”

Nami didn't believe it: "Then you can actually remind us halfway through, right?" Why did you still sneak up on Luffy? ”

Bucky paused: "Because ...... I didn't know you guys were that strong...... Thought it was just an ordinary newcomer. ”

"Because you think we're in a catastrophe, so you just do bad things to the end in order to survive?" Zoro interjected.

"Yes...... Ever since I knew that this was the temple of a big brother in the underworld, I gave up struggling, and I thought you didn't know either. Bucky pulled his head, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Then do you know that we are under siege to save you?" The question of Wu Sheng refers to Bucky's heart again.

Bucky is not really a person who doesn't know what to do, otherwise he wouldn't have awakened the will to resist, he knew that what he did this time was really embarrassing and thrown to Siberia, and his white and swollen face had turned red at this time.

The scene fell into an awkward silence.

After a long time, Bucky wanted to speak several times, and finally he was ashamed of the four of them, and said in frustration: "I'm sorry for you, whether you live or die is up to you." ”

At this time, Orobos emerged from his heart: "He is not like this, I am not justifying, but this time the matter is very strange, as if someone has been inexplicably stirring up the greed in our hearts." ”

"I thought it was a ghost in my mind, but then I found out that he was also affected." Orubos said.

Hearing the greed in their hearts, the four of Wu Sheng were shocked, glanced at each other, and already knew the culprit in their hearts.

As soon as Luffy made a move, Wu Sheng shook his head at him, signaled him not to speak yet, and then said to Orubos: "Don't use this inexplicable reason to prevaricate us, whether there is or not, at least we are still benevolent and righteous in the same environment, and we didn't give up on you because we don't know each other, right?" ”

Orobos and Bucky nodded at the same time, indicating no objections.

"Don't expect us to forgive you easily, in order to show the sincerity of your apology, first tell us the information you have."

Bucky seemed to have something to talk about when he heard this, and the chick nodded his head again and again, "Oh, good." ”

Wu Sheng smiled with satisfaction: "First question: Why are you so dishant?" ”

“？！” Bucky was stunned, angry in his heart, and was about to refute when Orobos reminded him behind him: "Sincerity, sincerity! ”

“......”

Okay, you can fight, you're awesome!

"I don't think I'm going to cook...... When I was younger, I was a top player in the team. Bucky said depressedly.

"No vegetables? Young? Team? Expert? Wu Sheng was stunned by these four information points, he and Luffy looked at each other, this guy still has an organization?

Wu Sheng thought in his heart, ready to ask one by one: "How old are you this year?" When did you wake up? Are you sure you keep your fighting power at a young age? When was the last time you went to the temple or the realm of sin? ”

Don't ask the age of a man who is single to his 30s! Bucky was annoyed and didn't want to answer, but Orobos coughed behind him, "Sincerity, sincerity, sincerity." ”

“......”

Okay, you're young, you're awesome!

"I'm 32 years old, I'm about 17 years old, I should keep it, the last time was about three years ago......" Bucky suddenly remembered that he was dragged in by this group, and suddenly became energetic: "I had already decided not to come in again, but I was innocently implicated by you, you should come to save me!" ”

"Oh? Wouldn't it be better for you to just leave, wouldn't you be allowed to return to the present world? Wu Sheng ignored his rebuttal and asked directly: "How many people are in the team you are talking about, is Shanks also one of you?" ”

Bucky is a flurry, yes, it seems that he is greedy for treasures, looking at the palace of the bank, and he is ready to mix a valuable treasure to live a comfortable life in a few years......

Then he heard Shanks's name, his face sank again, and he didn't want to answer.

Orobos coughed again, and Bucky didn't wait for him to speak, and suddenly turned his head: "Which side are you?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Sheng snorted in a deep voice with a gloomy face, holding Bucky's mobile phone in his right hand and flipping it at his fingertips: "I heard that this mobile phone has a photo of you and Little Bird You-chan?" ”

"How do you know!?" Bucky was shocked.

This found that his mobile phone was in Wu Sheng's hand, and when he patted the inner pocket of his chest, it was really empty, and the "hostage" was in someone's hand, and Bucky was instantly stunned.

"Didn't you hear that Elig and Orobos were having such a good conversation just now, and that he was desperately preaching to us and boasting about it?"

"Okay...... "Take" Wusheng "hostage" in hand, Bucky resigned to his fate, he explained: "We were about 6 people at the time, but I worked for three years, and I quit because of various reasons such as study, reality, and work, and what happened later, I don't know, Shanks is also one of us." ”

"15 years ago, you started exterminating the temple?" Wu Sheng asked.

"Shanks is also an Awakened?!" Luffy shouted in surprise from the sidelines.

Bucky knew from the conversation just now that Luffy had a longing for Shanks, and expressed his affirmation, but didn't say anything more.

Wu Sheng didn't want to know the story of this mansion that was older than his two lifetimes, and continued to ask: "Then you have been fighting in the Sin Realm for three years, why is your strength so weak and your will so poor?" ”

Bucky lowered his head, finally silent.

Seeing him like this, Orobos couldn't bear to force him anymore, and explained to him: "Because he has lost hope in this 'child's game' that will die." ”

"Kids' play? How can the act of saving others be an ordinary child's game? Nami retorted loudly, being redeemed, she felt the deepest sense of identification with the actions of the Four Raiders to help others.

"Why isn't it a kid's game? You're young, you've seen too little, and your eyes are black and white......" Bucky retorted angrily, "Those who have a temple at least know that they are guilty, and they can be redeemed from us!" ”

"And yet!" Bucky was emotional, but unusually depressed.

But he also changed his gloomy and unpleasant numb expression like a salted fish before, and suddenly and quickly said loudly: "However! What I can't accept the most is that tragedies happen all the time in this world, and then those who cause tragedies not only have no palace, but they don't even have evil thoughts!

Do you know what that means?

This means that they believe that they are righteous from the bottom of their hearts and that they are right from the bottom of their hearts.

Racists, pure evil who grew up in twisted ideas, their evil has no desires, no utilitarianism, and if they are murderers, then they think in their hearts that the people they kill deserve to die, just as you came to this temple and wanted to purify Chloe.

In their opinion, they are making a contribution to the betterment of this world!

When all the temples in Tokyo have been emptied in three years, the tragedy of this world continues!

The numb people continue to live in a world of misery, and the insane people gradually go further and further away in the madness, getting closer and closer to self-destruction.

This city, the humanity of this world has lost contact with the world!

Not only human beings, but also me, have been bound by their own consciousness, lost the ability to feel, lost the ability to empathize, and confused the real natural world with virtual electronic symbols.

Humanity is destroying the original world, and humanity is building a whole new world!

A world without nature!

The world is full of fire, full of electricity, full of creation, full of madness, full of hatred, full of desire, full of joy, full of complex emotions and cold intellect born and hatched from 10 billion neurons.

Just as we can't change those bigoted minds, we can't stop this world created by humanity from coming!

In that case, why not enjoy this pure civilized world created by humans? ”

Bucky breathed out the despair in his heart without pause, looking at the surprised looks on the faces of the four Wu Sheng, knowing that these young people might not be able to listen at all, or even understand his words.

He sighed in disappointment, but knew that he might end there, looking at the young faces of the four people, he mustered up the courage in his heart and poured out his frustration for more than ten years: "I'm not trying to disappoint you. Man, even the Awakened, will not be able to stop the coming of the moment of the great starfall, and the nature of the earth will die out in a hundred years, thousands of years, and mankind will either fall into hell with it, or go to eternal life in the universe!

And what can you change 10,000 years ago, here, now?

You can't cut off the trend of the times! The inertia of history, you can't stop!

The world is no longer what it is, the world is full of distortions, the destruction of justice and voluntary death can be seen everywhere, what can we change in the end? ”

"That's not right." Wu Sheng said.

"What?" Bucky looked at him in surprise.

Although Wu Sheng was amazed at how deeply and far Bucky was thinking, he still didn't agree with his fragile despair: "I said, you're not right. ”

Luffy, Zoro, and Nami were a little disappointed by the situation that Bucky had described, and that powerless despair also touched their young hearts, wanting sympathy and finding themselves in the middle of it, wanting to comfort but finding that they couldn't do anything.

But Wu Sheng's negative sentence shocked the three of them, after all, ......

"One! You say that those who judge their evil deeds as righteous are guilty! The sin is arrogance! ”

"Two! Do you think everything will be fine after cleaning up the temple? You're underestimating humans, aren't you? Where can there be joy without sorrow? How can you feel hope if you don't live? The numb man has his own way of living, and the mad man has his own time to die! Isn't it ridiculous that you punish yourself for the numbness of others and let the crazy people continue to go crazy? ”

"Three! In reality, so many people in the world are striving for this beautiful world with their own small efforts, making this world better, making this world more harmonious, why do you deny their efforts in your own opinion? ”

"Four! Since there is no way to find a way in the temple and the sin realm, is it to increase his influence in the present realm and influence more people? With extraordinary power, you have more opportunities, more energy, and more confidence than ordinary people, why don't you try to change the world? ”

"Five! That is the last point! Human beings are creating the world of human beings, and the earth is being destroyed, but some human beings are also trying their best to protect the earth, and some human beings are also exploring the boundaries of human beings in the universe. Do you have a concept of artificial celestial bodies? Now we may not be able to reach it, not to see!

However, I know that if we do not suppress the number of temples, when the whole city, the whole country, and the whole humanity are suppressed by negative emotions, our future generations will not be able to see it! The hope of mankind will be cut off from our hands! ”

Wu Sheng took a breath and said slowly: "Don't be too self-righteous and think of yourself as a savior, maybe, we are not changing anything, we are just passing on hope." ”

The audience fell silent, and Bucky looked at Wu Sheng dumbfounded, seeing a firm message in his eyes.

This young man, at this moment, is convinced that he will be turned into fuelwood, and the great cause that he cannot accomplish will be passed on as a torch.

Snot flowed from his comical spherical nose, waking him up from his stuporous stuporous strain with a hint of coolness.

Wu Sheng's words were like a morning bell, giving Bucky a sense of epiphany.

The corners of Bucky's mouth were slightly hooked, and his gaze looked through Wu Sheng to the distant gloomy clouds. With these young people, maybe sooner or later, the sun will penetrate the clouds of the sin world.

He remembered what he had hoped for the world when he was young, and at this strange moment, he should have been angry, he should have racked his brains to refute, not why, just to refute.

But it is foolish to blindly resist reality and hope.

Even though Wu Sheng has revealed how stupid his impulsive and blind pathos was when he was young, how closed his heart has been entangled for many years, and even completely denied all his thoughts and all values for more than ten years.

However, he closed his eyes, hoping that a little spark would light up in his heart again at this moment, and his life suddenly had another direction.

The question that has plagued him for more than ten years finally has an answer today.

He looked at Wu Sheng with satisfaction and appreciation, and said, "You're right, I'm self-righteous. ”

"Thank you."
