Chapter 3 There are eyes... staring at me

Chapter 3 There are eyes staring at me

nervous? Excited?

You must know that the first 20-10 of the serial number are all epic abilities, and the owners are basically the powerhouses on one side. If they can really advance, it will be like a pie falling from the sky. !

It's crazy!

Incredible!

But the [Guild of Guilty] that appeared in his mind today had already shattered the "worldview" that Higashinohara had managed to reshape for the past six months. He no longer hesitated, anyway, this source of power came from the newcomer's gift package for nothing, and the thought would be decisive. The only source point was added.

[Does it consume 1 point of source power to advance to the crimson pupil? 】

【confirm】

In an instant, the originally gray [Crimson Eye] in the ability column in my mind suddenly trembled violently, the fonts blurred one by one, and then suddenly burst into dazzling purple brilliance word by word.

【Advanced success】

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring new abilities]

【Nine Eyes and Six Paths】

Serial number: 16

Current open status:

First look: 360-degree long-distance vision, see through the opponent's moves, including but not limited to spells, sword types, and trajectory movements of elemental abilities.

The first way: the way of hell; it can drag the target into a hell-like endless nightmare for a short time, and can cause a certain amount of physical damage when the illusion is too real.

hiss-!

Higashinohara stared blankly at the new ability in his mind, and suddenly felt a terrifying feeling of sucking in the air. The epic ability in the forefront of the serial number was really terrifying. This is just a "one look at one" and it is no less than The original crimson pupil.

It is no wonder that those big pirates with epic abilities can roam freely and dominate the world, and some small countries ruled by the strong can even separate one side and violate the jurisdiction of the world government of heaven and man.

His power point for a free prostitute can be exchanged for the ability of the top 20 serial number.

This wave. Blood earned!

"Higashino-kun, thank you for your valuable information and your heroic performance during the arrest. The Finance Department of the Bonus Metropolitan Police Department will call your personal account in seven working days."

Suddenly, words sounded in my ears.

Don't look at Higashinohara's surprises in the [Guilty Book] in his mind, but at a time flow rate of 60:1, in reality, it's just a blink of an eye, and no one has noticed his just short-lived absence and eyes. A fleeting red glow.

"Oh! Thank you so much for that."

"Haha, it's time for us to thank you, we've been hunting this guy for days."

"."

After some "talking and heart-to-heart", after confirming that the money for the wanted reward would be credited to his account at the New Tokyo Central Bank, Higashinohara quickly left without saying a word.

Before leaving, he also noticed Mai Aragaki of the third investigation team.

He was not surprised by this. The unscrupulous uncle who ran the detective agency talked about his daughter, Mai Aragaki, who had graduated from the Zhuyuan South Private Academy and sent him to the Third Investigative Team for an internship almost every day. My ears almost heard the cocoon, but I didn't expect to meet here by chance, so I nodded and said hello.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Higashinohara took the tram back to Ogawa-machi, Edogawa Ward, New Tokyo's 23rd Ward. After getting off the tram, he walked for about ten minutes to a five-story apartment building.

This apartment building looks a little old, and the dim lights of the corridor flicker and go out. It is estimated that a horror film can be shot on the spot without having to worry about the setting. The property rights of the entire building belong to the president of the Aragaki Detective Agency, Aragaki Satoru. All—that is, the unscrupulous and lecherous uncle who was sloppy and lecherous, who smoked, drank, gambled, and was often full of nonsense in the mouth of Higashinohara.

The Aragaki office was on the third floor. When Higashinohara went upstairs, he glanced at his phone, and he received several urging messages, probably asking him to take a photo, why he didn't come back so late, and he was too late for half a month's rent reduction. It's time to reconsider and change it to a week, and they told Higashinohara that it's almost enough. They don't need to go too deeply into the documentary report, and they didn't let him shoot the content of the Eighteen Bans.

Of course, if it was filmed, he also had a friend who wanted Kangkang.

The friend you're talking about isn't you, is it?

Higashinohara didn't reply, he went up to the third floor and turned around the corner of the corridor, and saw a sign of [Xintu Detective Agency] hanging on the door of a room in the middle. Several flashing neon fonts were very eye-catching at night.

Oh no, it's Xinyuan. The lamp with the word "Yuan" was half broken last week and still hasn't been repaired.

Dong Yeyuan pushed open the door and entered, and a middle-aged uncle in his forties jumped in front of him, with sloppy half-long hair and a beard, a wine bottle in his hand, and his feet dangling on the desk in front of him .

On the TV next to it, the competition of the excellent horse mares held at the New Tokyo Racecourse was playing. It is not surprising to see the appearance of drinking and betting on horses and losing money.

Gee! I really don't know when he will be able to export this apartment building.

"Welcome! Aragaki Detective Agency will serve you wholeheartedly"

Aragaki Satoru noticed the movement of entering the door, and immediately put down his feet. He introduced the introduction skillfully in the middle, and suddenly returned to the look of a lazy and unscrupulous uncle, and changed his words with a smile, "Yo! It's Higashino-kun, why is it so late? When I come back, I'm also worried that you will be caught by the police by accident, and I'm thinking about whether I should go out and get you."

Higashinohara ignored Aragaki Satoru's nonsense and took out the mobile phone that Aragaki Satoru had given him from his bag, "Well, it's all here, I'll only pay half of next month's rent."

"Wait! I'll take a look first"

Aragaki Satoru took over the phone, skillfully found the albums to open, and browsed them one by one, and the expression on his face gradually became more exciting. It's really unbearable."

"Then are you going to give these photos to his wife?" Higashinohara asked when he was going out.

A serious look immediately appeared on Satoru Aragaki's face, as if his professional ethics had been insulted, "Higashino-kun, as a detective! Honesty is the only virtue we need to abide by."

Would you be honest if you didn't give money?

Higashinohara groaned in his heart, turned around and went upstairs. Satoru Aragaki sat back and picked up the phone with a smile, presumably telling the employer to complete the task.

After leaving the detective office, Higashinohara carried the bag upstairs.

He lived in a room next to the fifth floor, walked up the corridor and took out the key.

But when he opened the door in the dim light, he didn't know if it was the effect of his newly acquired ability [Nine Eyes and Six Paths] - Higashinohara didn't turn around, but he noticed a rustling figure in the corner of the dark corridor behind him.

He opened the door and realized that he didn't go back to the room immediately. He stepped over and muttered, "That guy is really stingy, he had already changed the voice-activated lights in the west half of the corridor and dragged it. pulled"

After approaching, with the turbid yellow light behind her, the outline of a little girl with blond hair and green eyes like jewels gradually became clear-it looked like she was about five or six years old, wearing a dirty dress in late autumn in November. The goose-yellow velvet dress was very thin, and she was squatting in front of a pile of wooden boards on the edge of the corridor with a small cartoon schoolbag on her back.

Higashinohara recognized the little girl from the neighbor on the same floor, named Nishimaru Miri. She once heard people in the apartment building talk that her mother was smuggled over from the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and her mother disappeared not long after she was born.

His biological father, Nishimaru Shunsuke, worked as an errand in a nightclub in Shibuya District. He was idle and gambled on weekdays. He was drunk and often scolded his daughter for dragging oil bottles for dragging him, but he didn't hit the child very much.

Well, I guess I haven't gotten off work at this point.

Speaking of the "Grand Duchy of Shayash" to which Nishimaru Miri's mother belongs, I still have a little impression of Higashinohara after studying this world geography in the past six months. It is a country located in the northwest of Wano Kingdom.

It is different from the Seablue Star where he was in his previous life.

The world that Higashinohara lives in now is a cross between two continents, dividing the whole world into four major sea areas.

Hmm. It sounds a bit like the pattern of "One Piece" in the previous life, but unfortunately there is no great route.

There are pirates in the four major seas. For example, the two pirate groups in the East China Sea near Wano Country are leaders in the top 36 in the ability sequence, and their personal strength is above the sixth rank.

The goal of the pirates in this world is not a "one piece" either. Most of their ancestors are those who were defeated in the "Battle of Foreigners" against the gods who invaded this world more than a thousand years ago.

Today, they cannot survive under the arrest of the world government established by the gods and humans, and can only maintain their lives by wandering at sea. However, after more than a thousand years, most pirates have forgotten the legacy and original intention of their ancestors to overthrow the rule of the gods and humans.

In contrast, among the more than 300 allied countries on the mainland, there are a few revolutionary armies who have inherited the last wishes of those who fought against the barbarians, and are active in the underground of some remote and small countries, planning to overthrow the rule of heaven and man.

What I have to say here is that, judging from the world history Higashinohara currently understands, except for countries such as Wano, which maintain a decent (father-son) relationship with the world government of heaven and earth, the interior is relatively peaceful.

Some other small countries on the mainland are either in constant civil strife, or the coastal areas are ravaged by pirates, or under the high-pressure rule of the Heaven and Human World Government, the forces of the revolutionary army have emerged one after another, suppressing one after another.

Not many can live in peace anyway.

This is the case in the Grand Duchy of Shayash. In the past century, the domestic revolutionary army has prospered and civil strife has continued. It is no wonder that Nishimaru Miri's mother would smuggle to Wano country.

In the dark corridor on the west side.

Aware of Higashinohara's footsteps, Nishimaru Miri stood up like a frightened cub, turned her head in panic, and when she vaguely saw that it was Higashinohara, her pink and tender face suddenly showed a little joy.

"Yeah! Is that the big brother? Good evening."

"Good evening Xiaoweili."

Higashinohara also said hello, and looked down at a few broken wooden boards in the corner—it seemed to have been picked up from the abandoned construction site behind the apartment building and built into a small shack with three dirty wood crawling inside. Xixi's little milk cat, probably discarded by a young man who moved from this building, was cautiously calling out in a low voice after sensing the approach of a stranger.

Higashinohara turned to look at the locked door and sighed, "Did your father forget to give you the key again?"

"Yeah." The little girl lowered her head.

Hearing this, Higashinohara shook his head.

Nishimaru Shunsuke has been in arrears with the rent for half a year. Every time Aragaki Satoru comes up to urge the rent, he says that when he wins the money and pays it off, he will not be seen on weekdays.

He was thinking about whether to go to my house like last time, wait for your father to come back, and have something to eat by the way, otherwise if Shunsuke Nishimaru gets off work and has a gambling addiction, the little guy will have to sit at the door all night .

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, Nishimaru Miri was stunned for a moment, then shook his little head, and a happy smile appeared on his puff's little face, "I have a home. Big brother, look!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and pointed to the shabby little shack made of wooden planks in the corner - only then did Higashinohara notice that there was a slightly cleaner wooden sign hanging on the shack, with a few crooked children's fonts written on it with crayons. .

【My Pear's Home】

"Welcome big brother to my house."

The little girl said childishly.

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, with a smile on her face, she couldn't help touching her blond little head, "Thank you, Xiaoweili's home is very beautiful."

"Giggle, how can there be, it's still very simple."

A little embarrassed, Nishimaru Miri had a very happy smile on her small face. It was probably the first time someone praised her for being beautiful. Suddenly, she remembered something. She turned around and took off her small schoolbag, opened it, and looked down.

"Big brother, do you want tea? I'll pour you some tea."

Higashinohara glanced over and saw that the bag of half a slice of red bean bread had been torn open, neatly folded and lay in a small schoolbag; next to it were two bottles of pure water, one half and one full.

The little girl took out the full bottle, twisted it with great effort, and handed it to Higashinohara expectantly.

Facing the child's family-like hospitality, Higashinohara bent over to take the water, squatted down and sipped lightly and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality, the tea at Xiaoweili's house is really good."

Hearing this, Nishimaru Miri's puffy little face suddenly squinted with a crescent smile.

Higashinohara pondered while drinking water—it is estimated that the little guy has a stronger self-esteem, and he invited her home a little recklessly last time, and it was for food and drink, which damaged the little girl’s self-esteem— But her own home is often unable to enter without a key, so she "entertains" herself in the small shack.

He was thinking about whether to play with the little girl for a while, and wait for her father to come back from get off work. If it is too late, he will go down to find Aragaki Satoru. Although this unscrupulous uncle is not very serious on weekdays, he can still be depended on occasionally. of.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

After a while, a man in his thirties came up with a plastic bag in his hand, humming a little song, and Nishimaru Miri, who was beside Higashinohara, had a happy face, and he opened his short legs and wanted to run over, but he just took two steps. But he stood there timidly.

"Hey! My sweet girl!"

Unexpectedly, Nishimaru Shunsuke did not scold his daughter as usual when he saw his daughter tonight.

Instead, he came over and lifted Nishimaru Miri over his head with both hands, stared at her little face and turned around excitedly, then placed it on the ground and rubbed his daughter's head randomly, laughing loudly:

"Xiaoweili, let's see what delicious food Dad brought you."

Nishimaru Miri looked down timidly, a little joy suddenly appeared on her little face.

"Yeah! It's sushi! Mire likes sushi the most."

"I know you like it, so I'll have enough tonight."

With a smile in his mouth, Shunsuke Nishimaru also noticed Higashinohara and scratched his head in surprise, "Eh? This little brother... looks a little familiar."

Tonohara rolled his eyes in his heart.

Looking at Nishimaru Miri's face, and seeing him on the same floor, he said politely, "Hello Mr. Nishimaru, I live in Higashinohara on the east side. Since you come back, Xiao Miri will give it to him. you."

"Oh, brother, are you taking care of my daughter, haha, I really don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, Xiaoweili is very good."

After Higashinohara finished speaking, he said hello to Nishimaru Miri, who had a small face full of joy. After finishing his work, he picked up the handbag on the ground and turned around and walked back. The only listening Nishimaru Miri asked childishly:

"Dad, why do you get off work so early tonight? Don't you have to work overtime?"

Hehe, this guy has been cheating his daughter to work overtime after get off work gambling?

"No overtime! No overtime tonight! Hahaha, Dad won't have to work overtime anymore." Nishimaru Shunsuke's answer was as excited as winning the lottery.

"Really? That's great!"

Nishimaru Miri was excited, biting her little finger and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Dad, Uncle Aragaki downstairs came up to ask me today. He asked when we would pay the rent, and he said that if we didn't pay the rent next week, we would really be kicked out, so would we have no home?"

Nishimaru Shunsuke snorted when he heard this!

"That bastard! Don't you owe him half a year's rent? Don't worry! Dad will give it to him in two days. Then Dad will take you to move, and we will live in a big house. Who cares about his dirty and dilapidated place."

"Wow! Really?"

"Of course it's true! By the way, don't play with strangers when you have nothing to do. There are a few good people who live in such a place."

"Ah, but dad, big brother he."

"."

Dong Yeyuan entered the room on the east side of the corridor. He was a little amused, but he didn't care. He was just surprised by where he got the money to pay the rent.

Speaking of which, he would take care of Nishimaru Miri just because the little girl was cute and pitiful.

In addition, since I just arrived here, I am so unfamiliar, it is not so much to take care of me, it is better to say that two lonely souls are leaning against each other to warm each other.

Entering the room, Higashinohara put down her handbag first, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. This room is about 20 square meters, with one bedroom and one bathroom. There is no living room and kitchen. Higashinohara sleeps on the tatami in the middle.

After showering and changing clothes, it was half past ten.

Higashinohara took out the stock of the small refrigerator and a can of coffee. In the past, he fell asleep on time after drinking it. The effect of the caffeine will probably be reserved for the next morning to help him get up on time.

Regular and healthy work and rest.

But today, I helped Aragaki Satoru to take over the "private work". Occasionally, I encountered something wrong with the cat ear girl. It seems that the girl thief from the Tianhu clan is recorded in the sin manual. She won the bounty, and there is a mysterious and unpredictable in my mind [ Guilty Manual].

All of this happened too quickly and suddenly.

Until this time, lying on the tatami at home, Higashinohara could digest all this with confidence.

After thinking about it, his consciousness entered the [Sin Manual] again.

【Name: Higashinohara (Male)】

【Race: Human】

【Current property template】

[Strength: 11.3 (extremely weak)]

[Agility: 22.2 (weak)]

[Physical: 8.6 (extremely weak)]

[Ability: Shadow Instant, Nine Eyes and Six Paths]

[Character title: Follower of justice (sin value X10) duration 30 minutes]

[Status: Human Body Limiter (Removed)]

Attribute Points: 0

Source Point: 0

The title of the character Through the actual combat this afternoon, Higashinohara probably figured it out, that is to add a buff to himself during the battle. The more "evil" the opponent, the stronger the buff.

It's a pity that the female thief I met at night didn't seem to be evil enough, or maybe it was because my basic attributes were too weak.

Well, just what the hell is this human body limiter?

Discharged state?

Higashinohara was puzzled and immersed in his thoughts, and suddenly there was more information in his mind.

[In the universe, organisms have limits that cannot be broken by their own efforts, and the handbook of sins directly adds points to improve by converting attribute points of sin value, which indirectly breaks the shackles of the limiter, and the host can now obtain sin values ​​through regular exercise. There are two ways to convert into attribute points to improve various attributes of yourself]

Um?

What is a surprise?

What is a special surprise!

Higashinohara lost his sleepiness in an instant, and sat up straight with a carp. The place at home was small, so he simply lifted the tatami to clear the space and started the most primitive push-up exercise.

123450!

Whoosh whoosh-!

Higashinohara's physical fitness is already out of breath when he can do 50 push-ups. Normal people can do more than 20 in one breath. The physical fitness is also OK, and more than 40 is excellent.

But this time he had another purpose. He gritted his teeth and squeezed the strength of his whole body and sat for another 10 minutes. At the moment when he finally held up the 60th limit, his whole body collapsed and fell directly to the ground. His forehead, chin and body were full of stinky sweat. .

Yes, just took a shower.

Higashinohara, who had been malnourished for a long time and neglected to exercise, only felt muscle pain all over his body at this time, and his body didn't seem to be his own.

At the end, he finally found the change, and suddenly the corners of his eyes twitched.

Constitution: 8.6+0.1↑

8.7.

Uh, it improved. It doesn't seem to have improved.

This "devil training" that squeezed the last bit of strength, only increased by 0.1?

After doing this kind of training once, it is estimated that he will struggle to lift his arms tomorrow. Even if he can gradually adapt to it, he probably won't be able to do it several times a night.

But thinking that he only got 0.5 attribute points after taking an adventure tonight, Higashinohara suddenly found some solace in his heart.

What else can I do?

Go ahead and grow slowly.

After all, being able to exercise on your own is much safer than taking the risk of finding those extrajudicial fanatics with a high crime value.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's thoughts moved slightly, and the crime manual turned over the title page and landed on the page of his own prisoner No. 001.

【Name: Charlie V. Prudence】

【Gender: Female】

[Race: Tianhu Clan mixed race]

[Racial Talent: Six Forms of Taishu Tianhu]

[Evil Value: Half Star]

[Character profile drawing (click to open)]

Um?

What is this character cut-off?

Would you like to open it?

Higashinohara's upper body muscles are sore at the moment, and it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep in a short time.

When he was idle, he was also idle. He moved his mind slightly and chose to click to open it.

Without warning, Higashinohara's mind suddenly went black, his consciousness seemed to be pulled out all at once, and he sank into another body in an instant.

In the next instant, a terrifying thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he felt a chill down his spine.
