Last night, the weather forecast female anchors of several TV stations stood in front of the camera in spring dresses and swore that today's new Tokyo will be sunny and cloudy, and it will be cloudy and sunny.

There is no possibility of rain at all.

But when Higashinohara and his party arrived at the pedestrian street under the sky tree by school bus, they had not yet gotten off the bus, and through the car window, they could see that the sky outside was as dark as ink, and the light rain was falling from the sky, and the vein-like mottled traces of leaves crawled out of the transparent glass of the car window.

"Big brother? Are we there? “

In the car, Nishimaru Miri tilted his little head and turned back and asked.

Higashinohara turned his head to look out of the car, and despite the light rain in the sky, there was still a crowd of people under the Sky Tree, a landmark of New Tokyo.

Maybe the Sky Tree on a rainy day has a hazy taste, or maybe there will be a boiling "sword hero life and death fight" that has recently fermented on the Internet this evening, attracting many people in New Tokyo to come to support Kyoto Sword Hero Momnomiya Rinya on the spot.

You must know that in the past few days, the government of Wano Country has stepped up online surveillance, resulting in the chaos and turmoil caused by the recent arrest of members of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army in the city, and the people who have been affected by the recent arrest of members of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army in the city have no ability to fight back, not to mention that there is no voice on the Internet.

If you can witness Kyoto Sword Hero Momomiya Lin under the Sky Tree today and also slap that Seventh Ruling Down, it can be regarded as a fierce breath of evil these days.

Of course, it would be better if you could kill on the spot...

It's just that the people of Wano Country still have a genetic awe for the adjudication division in their bones, and they still feel that the so-called "life and death fight" in their hearts is just a gimmick.

You know, the Emperor's birthday in the chaos of the White Jade Square lost an Eleventh Ruling Envoy, and the World Government and the Adjudication Division are about to dig three feet into the ground in New Tokyo.

Anyone who cares can basically see it - the Night Evil Revolutionary Army has recently been brutally purged in blood, and the strongholds that have been lurking for many years and the people who have been caught and killed by hand have been killed. The root cause was simply that the Adjudication Division couldn't find the mysterious person hiding behind the dark golden dragonfly mask, so it had to find trouble with the relatively easy Nightshade Revolutionary Army.

This is true of the Eleventh Ruling Envoy, not to mention the Seventh Ruling Envoy, which is even more highly ranked.

Just imagine, a Kyoto swordsman like Monomiya Linya, even if he really wins, will he really dare to kill the ruling of the high?

Therefore, the people did not dare to expect too much, and they could teach the verdict a good lesson, I am afraid that the scene should be rejoicing and celebrating together...

After Higashinohara got off the bus with the group of Takehara Minami Private School Park, he led Nishimaru Miri and walked dozens of meters on the pedestrian street at the foot of the Sky Tree, and in front of him was a communication venue built in an open space.

Perhaps the organizers took into account the rainy weather, and although it was an outdoor venue, a lot of lighting equipment was arranged on the roof, and the light was staggered with each other in the gloomy light rain, and there were many tourists and pedestrians who came to the venue to stop and watch.

Higashinohara has a bit of an impression of the bustling area of the Sky Tree Walking Street, and it seems that some popular stars and popular idol girl groups have held concerts here on TV before, and it seems that this exchange meeting Kyoto and New Tokyo Takehara Minami School are quite generous.

On the built venue,A pair of young men and women who seem to be the hosts of the exchange meeting are holding the microphone above to explain the history and significance of the Zhuyuan South Exchange Meeting to the passers-by who continue to gather around the venue,Charge a generous appearance fee, they naturally want to help the Zhuyuan South Private School Park shout,Increase the school's exposure and sense of existence。

However, there were many reporters who rushed to hear the news today, and all the places around the venue that were still passable were occupied by reporters from the six major TV stations and other media.

Before the exchange meeting began, the flashing of the magnesium lights in front of me and the click of the camera were endless.

In fact, these media reporters who rushed to hear the news did not have much interest in the history of Takehara South School introduced on stage, and all their attention and film were pressed on tonight's "highlight".

Fortunately, it wasn't so boring before the main event, and the exchange meeting between Minami Takehara in New Tokyo and Minami Takehara in Kyoto was also a competition between capable people.

In the country of Wano, the capable themselves are a rare group, and it is impossible to walk on the streets every day to use their abilities because of the law.

There are not many opportunities to watch up close except for the annual Koshien [Super War], so the general public still yearns for it and likes to see it, and the major TV stations also take this opportunity to warm up and pull a wave of ratings.

Chiyoda-ku.

An office in the Parliament Building.

rainy day

A room with no lights on.

A figure sits in a chair behind a desk, a blurred face hidden in the dim light.

On the wall not far away, the TV was playing the news of the New Tokyo Channel, and he couldn't help but frown slightly at the dense crowd of people who almost filled the New Tokyo Walking Street in the live broadcast screen.

"Audience friends, I'm Yuki Ogura, a reporter from New Tokyo Channel, and we can see that there are really a lot of people at the foot of the Sky Tree, and it seems that this light rain can't extinguish the people's enthusiasm for the capable, so I would like to wish Minami Takehara a a smooth event."

After a moment of silence on the TV, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

After connecting, a gentle voice rang on the other end of the phone, "We remember that we had a pact to minimize unnecessary contact between us before you got there. “

"It's not an unnecessary connection."

The middle-aged councilor's voice, whose face was blurred in the dim light, trembled slightly, and he looked up again at the countless ordinary people under the sky tree in the TV news screen, swallowed with some difficulty, and slowly asked,

"That thing...

Are you really ready today? “

The voice on the other end of the line was still soft, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Councillor, haven't we been looking forward to this day since a few years ago?" Or are you worried about something else? Worried that even if people have the ability to kneel anymore, they will never be able to stand up after kneeling for a long time? ”

Speaking of this, a chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "If that's the case, this country is not worth our efforts." “

"No, it's only part of it..."

The middle-aged congressman took a deep breath, "You told me about it. There may be some sacrifices."

At this time, a gentle voice on the other end of the phone interrupted the middle-aged councilor's words, and his tone became a little cold.

"I think you should understand one thing, any change is accompanied by labor pains, not to mention that a new era will open in front of us.

Wano Country. No! The world will usher in great changes unseen in a thousand years, and what we need to do is to seize this opportunity for the country of Wano. “

After saying that, the voice on the other end of the phone was soft again.

"Mr. Sen, for the sake of the future of Wano Country, we must be unwavering! And there is no need to shake it either! “

"We are not conspirators, nor are we celestial beings who trample on the dignity of the people... We just want to help the people who are easily shaken, the people who don't have the ability to discern, the people who lack the courage to change... To make the 'best choice', isn't it? “

"The right choice?"

In the dim light, the middle-aged councilor stared up blankly at the dark ceiling above his head, and muttered this sentence to himself. Gradually, there was no sound.

……

This end of the phone.

Metropolitan Police Department, Office of the Third Investigation Group, Temporary Acting Team Leader Kimura Shirata hung up the phone.

He leaned back slightly in his office chair, his hands crossed at the back of his head, and the computer screen of the desk in front of him was also playing the live online news of the new Tokyo channel.

Kimura Shirataku's gaze passed through the noisy and dense passers-by in the live broadcast screen, and his eyes leisurely fell on the skytree towering in the steel jungle of New Tokyo like a giant black tree, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but smile slightly.

This day...

Is it finally coming?

……

There was a faint thunderclap and the sky was overcast.

Twilight and drizzle fall along with the new Tokyo land under the dark sky.

Under the illuminated New Tokyo Sky Tree.

From the speech of the school and the organizer to the speech of the organizer of the Management Committee of the Sky Tree Business District.

From the speeches of media reporters to the speeches of outstanding student representatives of Minami Takehara in Kyoto and Minami Takebara in New Tokyo.

After these drives and processes are completed, the exchange meeting officially begins, and the first is the confrontation of the individual competition, and the highlight of the team competition is placed later.

It has to be said that the confrontation in the individual competition is quite part of the nature of the performance.

After the players of the delegation of the exchange meeting between the two sides came on the field, they breathed fire, sprayed water, and sprayed water, all kinds of abilities were in battle, which was dazzling and dizzying, and the applause of the onlookers could be heard from time to time.

Seeing this, Higashinohara couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes.

He wondered why Mr. Taidaochuan let him take a leisurely time in the individual competition, leaving the excess physical strength for the next major team competition, it turned out that most of the people who went up in front of him were showing off their abilities.

When it was Higashinohara's turn to play, his opponent was Tsuyoshi Kokashima, a fire ability from the first year of Takehara Minami, Kyoto.

In terms of data, the opponent's personal strength level is in the third order 1 stage, and the attack method he is good at is a relatively rare technique.

It's a pity that I met Higashinohara.

Even if it was Higashinohara under last year's normalcy, he could see through any technique trajectory at the first glance just by opening the purple epic talent ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths], let alone Higashinohara, whose agility was as high as more than 50 points under normal conditions now.

Both sides put on protective gear and went on stage.

As soon as Koshikashima raised his hand, he released a third-order magic fire tornado, and the fire dragon opened its teeth and claws, and the heat wave churned, causing the surrounding people to exclaim in unison.

Unexpectedly, in the next second,

Higashinohara has already disappeared in place.

He doesn't have the ability to activate Shadow Instant, relying entirely on the initial speed that agility brings to his body.

between electric light and stone fire,

The figures of the two are staggered!

Bang of the bell!

Higashinohara backhanded the handle of the wooden knife against the guard on the back of the man's head.

Under the sudden heavy blow, Kokashima just stumbled forward a few steps involuntarily, and rushed directly out of the competition field and fell headlong.

The first round of exchanges is over,

Higashinohara Katsu!

This one-shot hit can be described as crisp and neat!

On the edge of the venue, the school and Sumida Ward leaders were watching the game, Kyoto's Momnomiya Rin was closing his eyes and recuperating, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and his gaze fell on the young man with clear eyebrows on the stage.

"Squirt, I didn't expect there to be such a talent in the first grade, why don't I have any impression of him? It shouldn't be Trinity, right? The headmaster on the side, Kyogoku Kawasui rubbed his chin, and glanced at Momonomiya Rinya, who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile, "How is it?" I'll just say... You're going to have to lose this year. ”

Momomiya Lin also heard the words but said lightly:

"This teenager's speed is not fast, but he is indeed very calm and spicy in grasping the timing of his shot, and he chooses to cut in decisively at the moment when the technique is formed, and he is indeed a talent who can make actual combat."

That's right, it's just that Higashinohara's unpretentious knife is not at all like the bells and whistles of various abilities staggered and collided like before.

The ordinary people who watched the excitement around were quite disappointed by this, and did not even cheer at all.

This is exactly what Higashinohara wants, he doesn't want to show people a "monkey show" like before.

Having said that, if he had known that the individual competition was this way of playing, then he would have simply reported the team competition.

After stepping down, Higashinohara walked back along the player's passage.

However, at this time, the crowd in the pedestrian street in the distance suddenly rioted, and Higashinohara couldn't help but look up when he heard the sound.

Under the brightly lit twilight, a cold light rain drifted in the sky.

I saw a group of men in black coats and a hurried pace full of murderous intent forcibly carved a wide passage on both sides of the crowded pedestrian street.

At the end of the passage, a black umbrella burst out, keeping out the cold raindrops.

Under the big black umbrella, a man with a strong yin aura lowered his gaze and walked condescendingly, not worried that the person with the umbrella would not be able to keep up with his steps.

Someone from the Adjudicator Division?

Higashinohara recognized the black uniform of the execution team.

At this time, the identity of the man who enjoyed such treatment seemed to be about to come out...

He's the Seventh Adjudicator?
