Chapter 179: The Hidden Truth (2nd Monthly Pass)
[High concentrations of unknown particles have been detected, do you want to confirm the collection?] 】
【Confirm Collection】
Suddenly, a faint fluorescence that was formless and imperceptible lit up in the air where the woman fell behind her, and it quickly converged and shrank towards Higashinohara like a whirlwind, and finally turned into a green point of light the size of a grain of rice and merged into the center of his eyebrows.
[Unknown Particle Collection Completed]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Green Ability [Iron Mallet] Fragment]
[The host can permanently upgrade the fragment through the source power point to obtain the ability]
[The host can obtain source power points by decomposition]
A series of prompt sounds echoed in Higashinohara's mind, but when he heard the name of this ability, Higashinohara's face became a little strange.
Hammer?
It means that if he upgrades this ability fragment, when he fights in the future, he will use his brain to smash people like that inexplicable weird woman just now?
Break down decisively!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 0.2 Source Power Points]
Not... A little less.
The ability to last decompose seems to have 0.5.
However, the green ability is decomposed into 0.2, and the skill proficiency is also 20 points, which is equivalent to more than half a month of intracranial sword training, which is a good gain.
At this time, remembering the fragments of his ability that he had dismantled last time, Higashinohara couldn't help but think of the female convenience store clerk who had been disturbed by a demon and had gone down a crooked path in Aragaki Apartment last month.
If memory serves, the ability he gained at the time should have been called Scissorhands.
If you think about it, these two come from the ability of the fragments collected by the unknown particles dropped when slaying the demon.... Why... So casual?
This is not to say that the "name" is arbitrary.
The name can be chosen arbitrarily, how it sounds good, and even the ability awakened by the people in the world where Higashinohara is now living is also a name that has been continuously revised over countless generations.
Higashinohara thought of the casualness that this ability was manifested in a way that was too casual.
Scissorhands... Iron mallet...
Like this ability, even if it is purple, it still takes a bit of psychological construction to accept it...
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, a question came to his mind.
It's not so much that these abilities are manifested in a way that's too casual, but think about it the other way around... Could it be that these people take ability too seriously?
And for the demons of "hell", ability is such a "casual" thing.
Higashinohara clearly knew that this was not the "hell" that the judge said, but the world he had lived in in his previous life.
The "alien demon" detected by the detector in Greyman's hand just now is likely to be an ordinary human in the world where he lived in his previous life.
Then the question is, how did the strange woman who spoke a language he was familiar with just now acquire this ability.
And it turned into such a paradoxical appearance?
Could it be related to the "tides" mentioned in that newspaper?
But what are the tides?
......
One question after another,
In Higashinohara's mind, one after another.
Suddenly, Higashinohara realized a very critical problem, and his face suddenly became a little solemn.
Now that he had proven his guess, the alien demon was formed by the human beings of the world he lived in in his previous life, under the influence of some unknown and irresistible external factors.
Then this dilapidated residential building, it is obviously impossible for only one woman to live.
Higashinohara's heart suddenly tightened slightly.
He looked up and looked around, only to feel that in the dark and empty rooms on the first floor, there seemed to be a pair of eyes silently watching him behind the black glass of each room.
In a flash of thought, Higashinohara no longer hesitated, and looked up at the people who were pointing at him with lights on.
As a result, when they looked up, everyone around the edge of the collapse of the second floor saw clearly under the light that the lamp had just "risked death" in the darkness and killed the strange woman, and it was actually the one with a gentle smile... A boy who looks harmless to humans and animals, "Nishimiyai".
Shh
Someone couldn't help but take a breath.
This guy...
It's really unseemly.
Higashinohara ignored the surprised crowd and looked at the leader of the investigation team, Gray. Mayne.
The latter was squinting at him, looking at him without saying a word, but Higashinohara sensed a hint of warning in the other's scrutinizing gaze.
He thought about it, and his heart suddenly happened... Maybe it's because I've just been too "outstanding".
That woman just caught everyone off guard just now because her ability was too weird and tricky, and her attack was completely straightforward, without the slightest defense.
That's what the fight is.
What is exerted between life and death is called strength.
If you lack actual combat experience or are caught off guard, and you are directly attacked by someone and hit the point, then as long as you are not the ability of the meat system to defend against perversions, everyone else will have to be hated on the spot.
For the dead,
There is no difference between the first and sixth orders.
But now that I think about it carefully, although the abilities and attack methods controlled by that inexplicable woman are weird and terrifying, the real strength level is not very strong.
At most, it can be regarded as about 5 stages of the fifth order.
It's a pity that I met Higashinohara.
If "alien demon" is an adjective, now even if the strength and body complement each other under normal conditions, and he has multiple abilities, he is more "alien" than "alien demon".
In terms of expansion, there is no opponent below the sixth order.
Even after using the source power point to upgrade the eighth-order sword type [Selfless One Sword Flow] proficiency to the intermediate level, and after getting a first glimpse of the secret technique [Selfless Mirror Heart] and the secret mystery [One Sword Shura].
Higashinohara vaguely felt that when he was well prepared, in the early stage of the sixth order, he was not unable to fight.
But the captain of the team, Gray. Mayne, but he is a true sixth-order superpower, and he controls the flesh system ability of talent sequence 42 [Reshape].
Just now just just wait for Gray. Maine came back to his senses, and he could have solved it himself, and he didn't need to give orders from Higashinohara to act as a "timely rain".
Thinking about this, Higashinohara couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Of course, he didn't want to make a move.
In terms of the degree of opposition between him and the Adjudicator Division now, the more people in the Adjudicator Division die, the safer he will be, and he will be happy when the corpse can circle the world.
It's just that the strange woman just now attacked not only the people of the Adjudication Division, but also the humans who were hired like him, and Hela, who got along well with him in the investigation team...
And, of course, the most crucial point.
For others,
Demons are just dangerous attackers.
But for Higashinohara,
That's all "walking proficiency".
Especially after tasting the eighth-order sword type that has been promoted to intermediate proficiency, the significant increase in his strength under the current normal situation, Higashino Hara is more and more eager to upgrade the sword type to [advanced] to further unlock the secret skills and secret mysteries at the intermediate level.
When the time comes, his own strength must be able to further improve on the basis of his existing attributes...
......
At this point, there was silence all around.
Gray. Myne squinted at Higashinohara, recalling in his mind the registration of the boy named "Nishimiyai".
The ruins of talent sequence 23?
Grabbing the water elemental converges into a vortex wall that envelops itself, and the water that bursts out has an indestructible sharpness, which is indeed a talent with great potential.
After a moment of silence, suddenly, Gray. Myne spoke in a calm tone, "Come up first." ”
After speaking, he turned his head first, waiting for Higashinohara to come up and come to him in person.
It's a kind of trick.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Higashinohara, who was standing below, shook his head and said without thinking, "I think... We'd better all come down now. ”
This guy...
Is it the opposite?
The crowd had just recovered from their previous shock, and then they had fallen into a state of astonishment again.
A human...
How dare you go against the people of the Adjudication Division?
Upstairs, Gray turned his back. Myne's footsteps paused slightly, and a gloomy look flashed across his face.
This guy...
Have you really forgotten who you are?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the voice of Higashinohara downstairs said unhurriedly, "I think... Like this... There may also be ...
Well, maybe quite a bit. ”
Higashinohara's speculation is not difficult to understand.
Everyone also reacted instantly, and quickly looked around.
Although I haven't found anything for the time being, I have an inexplicable feeling of coldness in my heart.
So what now?
The pressure was on Gray. Mayne.
At this time, Gray, who had his back to everyone and only one back. Myne's face also stiffened, and he cursed angrily in his heart:
This bastard...
Why didn't this kind of thing be said earlier?
After seeing the horror and weirdness of the "Second Rank Green Demon" warned on the detector, it was difficult to make Gray . Mayne stubbornly insisted on going his own way.
For a while, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, no matter where it is, there is never a shortage of people around the leader who will support him, and move the ladder to the steps when the leader is in trouble.
But this time, it was not the person from the Adjudication Division who had this extraordinary awareness, but the middle-aged man Ji Yuanwen among the seven hired human beings.
In the battle just now, he wanted to show himself, but he was caught off guard and flew out with a head hammer from the strange woman before he had time to "hold his head to defend".
Now see Captain Gray. Maine was embarrassed, and Ji Yuanwen hurriedly spoke, "I also think it's a bit weird here, or captain... Let's go down first, shall we? ”
Gray. Mayne glanced coldly at Ji Yuanwenren, who had a shy face and a flattering look.
He retracted his gaze, and his heart was even more disgusted with this young man named "Nishimiyai", but he thought that if they could return safely in seven days, the imminent fate of these hired people would not be able to escape at that time...
Come to think of this, Gray. Myne glanced at Ji Yuanwenren, who was full of flattery, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little sarcastic.
Of course, he could see Ji Yuanwen's intentions to curry favor with him, but these lowly human beings couldn't always put themselves in the "stepping stone" position...
Disgust to disgust.
Gray. Myne still thought that after seven days of life, the door of the [Border] would open again, so naturally he would not have to get along with himself at this time.
With the steps given by Ji Yuanwen, he said noncommittally, "Everyone has it, evacuate this building first, and we'll come back at dawn." ”
After that, Gray. Myne simply rolled down from the second floor, and the others naturally didn't want to stay for a long time when they saw this, so they followed suit.
Bang bang bang!
Under the dumplings, a group of people jumped from the upstairs with dexterity.
Gray. As soon as Myne landed, he glanced at Higashinohara, who was waiting for them not far away, and said in a cold voice, "Remember to prepare a detailed battle report, I want to know everything." ”
"Yes."
Higashinohara didn't have any objection to this, he just broke down and exchanged 20 proficiency, and rushed the sword type of the selfless sword to [Intermediate 70/100] in one go.
At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, if he encountered a strange demon again, how to use the power of the investigation team, and finally find an opportunity to go up to "mend the knife"...
At this moment, after everyone gathered downstairs, they only felt that under the dark night, countless pairs of eyes were born out of thin air in this dilapidated residential building, and they didn't dare to look around for a while.
Soon, the group supported a few wounded people and hurriedly evacuated the old residential building called "Pujiang Community" and returned to the deserted streets when they first crossed the gate of the [border].
Tactical lights staggered and tore through the darkness of the streets, making them seem a little lonely and empty.
But compared to the extremely gloomy residential buildings in the community, even if there is no tile to cover their heads, the members of the investigation team obviously prefer to stay here.
After a simple makeshift camp on the street,
As soon as he stopped, Higashinohara saw Kenjiro Nanami, who had an empty arm, passing by him, and walked straight to Captain Gray, who was sitting on the side of the road with his eyes closed. Mayne.
Gray. Myne sensed approaching footsteps and slowly opened his eyes.
After seeing Kenjiro's sleeves fluttering in the night wind and the lifeless dead fish eyes, information about this man suddenly appeared in his mind.
Kenjiro Nanami approached, but he didn't sell anything, and asked straight to the point, "Captain, I want to figure out... What is a Level 2 Green Demon? ”
His voice was neither loud nor small, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Speaking of which, the seven people hired today, except for a limited two or three people, the rest of them didn't even know about the existence of the demon at first, and they all came for the benefit of the Judgment Division's generous reward.
However, from the morning interview, to the afternoon departure, and then to the moment after crossing the [border] gate of the two worlds, the night terror encountered such a strange thing...
All of this is too magical to think about now.
In fact, even Higashinohara didn't know much about alien demons in advance, and it wasn't clear that the Adjudication Division actually had a detector that could detect information about alien demons and rank them.
These guys...
How much is it still hidden from us?
For a moment, everyone hired by the investigation team looked up at Gray. Mayne, looking at the people in the black-robed execution team around him who didn't say a word, invariably had this idea in his heart.
