Chapter 173: "Hell" Behind the Border Gate? (Below) 7.8K for a monthly pass
I have to say that as the ace scavenger of the Night Evil Revolutionary Army, he is very skilled in smiling.
Judging from the curvature of the corners of his mouth, he seemed to smile gently, provided that he ignored the lifeless dead fish eyes blocked by his sunglasses.
In fact, Nanami Kenjiro just felt that Higashinohara's figure was somewhat familiar, purely out of the scavenger's professional habits.
After finishing speaking, the two of them also followed one after another into the first floor of the Sky Tree, the radio tower, and there was a special person waiting at the elevator entrance to press the elevator to wait for them.
Higashinohara knows that the Sky Tree Radio Tower has a circular glass cloister observation deck at 300 meters and 450 meters each, so you can experience the feeling of walking through the clouds, and the ticket is quite expensive during normal business hours.
He hadn't been here before when the Sky Tree was open, but he didn't expect that when the Sky Tree was closed, he had the opportunity to take the elevator to the "Tianwang Corridor" above to have a glimpse of the scenery.
It's just that there is a gap between reality and Higashinohara's imagination.
When they took the elevator to the 300-meter-high glass corridor, the moment they opened the elevator door and walked into the corridor, Higashinohara felt that something was not right.
Obviously, the sun was shining outside when he came, but at this moment, the sky he saw through the glass corridor was as dark as dusk, and the sky tree under his feet seemed to be in the ruins, and at some point his eyes became a little hazy, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell of corruption and decay.
This is... What's the situation?
Like Higashinohara, the other six members of the seven-member group on the human side also looked blank, looking around, as if they were a little confused.
"Welcome to our investigative team."
At this moment, a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from ahead.
The sound came from the front, yes, in the empty Tianwang corridor, the sound of footsteps with clattering high heels came from behind, and everyone turned their heads one after another.
The sixth ruling made Adeline. Leon's eyes rolled with turquoise pupils, and he said with a smile, "You are all excellent human beings who stand out this time, and you have successfully passed my interview, I believe that you have excellent adaptability to unfamiliar environments, so I will make a long story short, and you just need to listen carefully about the specific content of this investigation." ”
"This time we're going to investigate the place,
It's 'hell'. ”
The woman's voice was steady, but the words she said made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
The sixth ruling made Adeline chuckle and glance at the group, then turned and stepped away, "Please come with me." ”
After saying that, she walked in front, and the people behind her looked at each other with each other.
It is estimated that at this juncture, it is no longer realistic to retreat, and the eldest Ji Yuanwen is the first to take steps to keep up with the "show loyalty", and the others can only follow when they see this.
Inexplicably, as they walked along the "Tianwang Corridor", there was a sudden whimper of wind and sand in front of them, and the mighty wind blew their clothes and hunted.
But where did the wind come from?
Suddenly, Kenjiro Nanami, who was walking behind Higashinohara's left, seemed to think of something, and his face under the sunglasses showed a thoughtful expression.
That night, when he set up the "Nightmare" on the Sky Tree, and the sniper aimed at Gaius Rhine, the seventh judge, he blasted a big hole in the Celestial Hope Corridor on this floor.
It's just that when everyone really walked to the land of the wind source in front of them, the scene in front of them made Nanami Kenjiro also slightly stunned.
I saw a big hole of about three meters broken on the outside of the glass corridor with broken glass slag in front of me, and the vision was blurred when I looked out through the hole, and I could only vaguely see some weird orange-red, and the mighty wind continued to pour in from the hole.
But the wind did not look like the sun shining high in the sky outside, and the rich smell of withering and corruption in the wind made people feel that this wind came from a land full of dead ghosts.
"Now, what you are looking for is the Gate of the Border, behind the door is the 'Hell' that you need to investigate this time, the Gate of the Boundary will reopen in seven days, each of you will be equipped with a timer, and the time will count down from the time you pass through this door, if you don't come back on time after seven days..."
The sixth ruling made Adeline chuckle and didn't continue.
But at this moment, everyone realized a fact with a chill in their hearts - this investigation was far more complicated and dangerous than the psychological preparation they had been making for themselves before they came.
Can I opt out?
Look at the black-robed execution team scattered around, and the Adeline next to her, who exudes a dangerous aura on her body.
The thought only swirled in their minds, and it was quickly forcibly suppressed.
Exit is obviously impossible to exit.
However, looking at the hole in the glass in front of them and the broken glass shards all over the ground, everyone's mouths were a little bitter.
After all, they had just taken the elevator up to the glass corridor at a height of 300 meters, and now, someone pointed to a broken glass in the air and said that it was a door.
If it were you, would you walk in?
"We don't know much about the situation at the [Boundary] Gate of the Sky Tree, and that's exactly what you need to investigate, and the cameras you bring with you will record everything that happens."
"Alright, now, who's going to be the first to step through that door?"
Hearing this sentence, everyone's minds automatically translated into "Who jumped first?" ”
You know, this is not a "youjump, mejump" skydiving game, this kind of high degree of free fall down, even the ability of the meat system below the sixth order has to fall into the flesh.
Then the problem is back to square one.
Who was the first?
Someone quietly looked at the black-robed execution team behind him, this time the investigation team was divided into two groups, seven humans and seven black-robed execution teams.
But those black-robed enforcement team members included the leader of the investigation team, Gray, who had just arrived with them. Mayne, but all of them looked like they were looking at their nose and nose, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, everyone suddenly became even more bottomless.
At this moment, the sixth ruling made Adeline faintly come to her, "What? Scared? But I told you during the interview in the morning that the work of the adjudication department... There's no regret about it. ”
Before Adeline could finish her sentence, a voice suddenly moved, and her face suddenly showed an interested look.
Higashinohara, who was still on his feet, took a look and found that it was the man with sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
Kenjiro Nanami walked to the glass hole in the high-altitude corridor, the lifeless dead fish eyes and face under the sunglasses did not have any superfluous emotions, and there was no pause under his feet, like a real tough guy who "calmly died" and stepped into the orange-red hole with blurred vision and constant wind pouring in.
"Interesting, a human being who is very indifferent to death," thought Adeline with a smile from the seventh ruling.
At this moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily cast on the transparent glass floor under their feet, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
From their point of view, it was clear that Kenjiro Nanami had stepped over as if he had entered another dimension, and there was no sign of falling from the sky.
At this time, facing the sixth ruling made Adeline's expression smile.
Although the vague orange-red glass void was still very weird, it had come and gone, and there were still people who had taken steps again, and Ji Yuanwen of the seven-person group of human abilities gritted his teeth and walked up.
He had left a case record in the Wano Country official before, and he had not been treated well all these years, and this time he came to the interview in order to perform well in front of the adjudication division, and after the employment was over, he was appreciated and followed the adjudication division.
I saw Ji Yuanwen walking in front of the strange and vague orange-red glass hollow, and as soon as his eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he took a step.
Similarly, he seemed to have entered another dimension, and through the glass floor, he could see no signs of falling.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Immediately after that, the third, the fourth... Higashinohara walked in after Hela.
He could have been the last, but seeing that the bronzed-skinned alien beside him didn't seem to be moving, it seemed that he was waiting for something... Higashinohara, who didn't want to attract attention, suppressed the slight nervousness in his heart and took steps.
After seeing Higashinohara's figure disappear and he was the only one left in the human superpower group, the sturdy Camila slowly turned her head to stare at the sixth adjudicator Adeline, who seemed to be smiling, and said in a low voice, "I will do what you tell me, but don't forget your promises and promises to me!" My sister..."
The sixth ruling made Adeline stretch lazily and interrupt with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as you behave well, your sister will be fine." ”
Camila stared at the other party's turquoise eyes, as if she wanted to see through the other's heart.
After a moment, he lowered his gaze again and took a step forward.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Adeline suddenly remembered something, took out a small sealed brown bottle from her waist with a sling on it, and handed it to Camilla with a chuckle.
"I almost forgot, this is the 'talisman' that your sister Viviant handed over to you after you left last night, so you must bring it with you and don't peek, otherwise it won't work."
Camilla stared at the small brown bottle for a moment, carefully took it and hung it under her neck, and suddenly a soft look appeared on her face, which was indeed a tradition in his hometown.
In the next second, his figure also disappeared into the hollow.
Immediately afterwards, the seven celestials of the investigation team were also in the team leader Gray. Mayne's leadership swept in.
After all the people had entered the Border's Gate, the Sixth Ruling caused Adeline to withdraw her gaze and look around with some boredom.
She had thought that the man wearing the dark golden dragonfly mask would find a chance to enter the [Border] Gate, so she had been waiting here for the past few days, waiting for the other party to crash into the [Border] Gate and be intercepted by the law, she chuckled and closed the net.
It's just that the moment has not yet come.
Her instincts tell her that the man behind the mask in Wano Country is interested in alien demons.
Could that guy...
Still waiting for something?
......
In the evening, a faint twilight slanted across the western sky, and the brilliant sunset gilded everything around it with an orange-red sheen.
Higashinohara, who passed through the door, was now in an empty street, surrounded by extremely miserable and deserted streets, except for the people who came with him.
Is this "hell"?
He raised his hand to cover his eyes, squinting slightly at the scene around him.
The glass-walled buildings are almost entirely covered in green moss, and have long since lost their former highlights, and the bridge across the river covered with vines and plants has broken and warped in the middle, and the river below the bridge has long since dried up and turned into a dark field.
Not far away, a radio tower with three spheres towering into the clouds like a tree in the sky leaned against a nearby building.
This tower... This bridge... These high-rises...
Gradually, Higashinohara was a little stunned.
He looked at the incomparably desolate but indescribable familiar picture in front of him, as if he had returned to the place where he had lived for a long, long time, and some long-forgotten memories in his mind slowly revived.
Suddenly, a wind blew on the street, and an old yellowed newspaper rolled along the yellow sand in front of Higashinohara.
Higashinohara glanced down, and the row of familiar words hidden in the depths of his memory jumped into front of him, but his eyes shrank sharply.
"On April 1, 4596, the tide outside the sky struck, and the rivers and seas became the last line of defense for mankind."
Jiang Hai?
Higashinohara's whole person froze instantly.
Is it that Jiang Hai!
He's back?
Could it be that the rivers and seas where he lived for more than ten years in his previous life, or that world, have actually become 'hell' in the eyes of the people in the world he is in today's world thousands of years later?
Higashinohara lowered his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched twice involuntarily, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated and incomprehensible.
What hell is this horse riding unfolding?
......
