[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 318 God's Dependent

The town is pitch black.Although it was night, it was not very late, but almost all the lights in the town were turned off.The townspeople in groups of two were patrolling the dark streets chatting one after another, not knowing what they were on guard for.I don't know if it's an illusion, but there are painful voices coming from the dark and spreading streets from time to time.

"Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? Mr. Olu?" Feeling the strange atmosphere, Kagawa asked the bodyguard beside him.

"Are you kidding me?" Ask me this now...Olu said, "That little girl can summon demons by opening her mouth! Have you forgotten, boss!" Believe it or not, the things that should exist must be exist!

"That's right." This is really bad news.Xiangchuan was a little worried, he said, "Then isn't it very likely that we will encounter a ghost?"

"There are no ghosts here." The doctor walking in the front was completely honest and poked his head around a small two-story house.He opened the window of the house somehow, and said, "Let's go in here! This is the mayor's house, and I think it must be here if there is any clue!"

"How do you know this is the mayor's house?"

"There's a sign over there that says 'Mayor's House.'"

Otherwise, why else?The doctor replied as a matter of course, and then quickly climbed into the mayor's house through the window.No way, let's follow him in first.The time was also faster than expected, so these few people invaded the mayor's house illegally without too many obstacles.

As the mayor, this house is a little bit dilapidated and in disrepair.The floor and other surfaced furniture were covered with a thick layer of soil, and the flowers in the vases on the coffee table had withered long ago, but no one had changed or taken care of them.If it weren't for the warm yellow lights at the end of the hallway, the place would seem unoccupied.

"Why are there so many people coming to the island all of a sudden?"

The man's anxious voice came from the warm yellow room: "Are they pirates?"

"I recognize the man's clothes...he's Germa..." Another man also spoke, his voice was relatively slow and calm, "Maybe they're here to redeem it. Redeem it all...everything crimes we have committed."

"How is that possible, mayor! Just think about it...they refused from the very beginning. So how could our sin be related to them?" said the first man, "Everyone has abandoned us. Those who could leave left, and those who couldn't left also made their own choices that day. Mayor, we can't change many things, and this one is the same."

"...They should all be near the coast." The mayor paused for a while, and he said, "If no one brings out the situation here, then no one will know our crimes. God, will be blinded by this Well. We can live because of it."

"It's normal to have children, we can live on, Mayor. Unless someone gets wind of it."

"You are right."

The conversation between the two sounded more and more dangerous, and the small army of eavesdropping did not stop.They started to spread out spontaneously to scout the house.

The walls of the corridor were covered with yellowed and worn-out wallpaper, and some old photo frames were hung on it, but some of the photos could not even be seen clearly.At the end of the corridor is a somewhat strange fireplace, not because the current weather does not require a fireplace, but because this location really does not know what role it can play.

And what's even more strange is that the fireplace is too clean compared to other places in this corridor.This made everyone notice this place at the same time.

"Flying Dragon's Hoof...?" Xiangchuan saw the imprint on the wall inside the fireplace. Although the color has become dim, it is definitely the mark of the Tianlong people.He squatted down and took a closer look, "It seems that this place is indeed related to the Tianlong people."

"Dragon man?" The doctor obviously didn't know what the word meant, and he also squatted down to look at the imprint that looked like some kind of strange horseshoe print, and then reached out to touch it, "It looks like it was printed a long time ago of……"

"Dragon people are... the 'gods' of this world. At least, they have been endowed with all the power and status of the gods." Kagawa explained succinctly, "However, they have not fulfilled the duties of the gods. Then why are they allowed Existence... This is still an interesting puzzle."

"Hmm... sounds like a common human error." People who are blindly worshiped as gods?The doctor didn't know if he really understood the true meaning of the Tianlong people. He said, "The imprint representing 'God' is drawn here. Has God ever been here?"

"According to the current information, this is indeed the case. Even though my employees are very good... It is too difficult for them to come to the windless belt. Therefore, I don't know more about it." Kagawa raised his eyebrows Come, said he, looking at the wall of the fireplace, "Doctor. Are you thinking the same thing as I?"

"Haha!" The doctor said it should be, he laughed, then looked at Kagawa, stretched out his hand and pressed the flying dragon's hoof vigorously, only to hear a click!As if some mechanism was touched, the wall of the fireplace turned suddenly!Rolled the two people who were squatting nearby into the other side of the organ!The doctor and Kagawa disappeared in place, leaving Toki, Olu and Zed in shock, and——

"What noise?! Mayor! It's from the secret room?!"

"Impossible! No one should be here!"

And the 'enemies' who ran here immediately after hearing the commotion.

What are you kidding, those two guys! !Sell ​​us all? ! !While Olu shouted in his heart, he grabbed Zed and got into a closet beside him!As soon as he entered, he heard two eager footsteps.

"No one is there?" The mayor's voice came out, "Did the mechanism start by itself?"

"No! Look!" The other man seemed to have noticed something, "The dust on the ground has obviously been stepped on... over here!"

was found!Damn it!Does the dust on the ground still have this effect!You guys are too smart for villains without a name, you bastards!Olu complained in his heart, but he took action immediately, as long as the door of the cabinet was opened——

At that moment, a blue light flashed out, making the person who opened the cabinet door temporarily blind!And when he regained his sight, there was nothing in the cabinet!

"Huh..." Olu, who had moved outside the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "What the hell are those two guys doing!"

"O, Mr. Augustus?!" Shi was more surprised by Olu, "What was that just now??"

"It's ninjutsu." Olu said nothing about his teleportation ability.He replied perfunctorily, and then said, "Let's get out of here for now. Hey! Zed! What's the matter?"

Zed looked a little distracted.Although he is usually a lazy dog, he should be quite vigilant in this situation.Now, he hesitated and said to Olu while thinking about something: "Olu... that person just now..."

"Ah?" Who?Open the door to catch us?Didn't see clearly... Because Olu's 'ninjutsu' requires him to focus on the location to be transferred to, so he can only focus on one place and not be distracted.Coupled with the blue light caused by 'ninjutsu', Olu couldn't see that person's face clearly.

"Although it was only for a moment, I saw it." Visually, it was only a flash, but the smell could be smelled at any time, "And that smell of blood...I can still smell it now. Olu, that person ...He is the murderer who framed his master, the leader of the Emerald Isle...the man named 'Isaac'!"

——On the other side, the doctor and Kagawa were taken to the other side of the fireplace by the mechanism, and a very dark stairwell appeared in front of them.The narrow stone steps extend downwards, with almost no light at all, and only the edge of the stairs can be vaguely discerned.

The doctor took something out of his pocket, and a beam of light lit up on the top of the pen-like prop, like a flashlight.Only then did they see the whole picture of the stairwell.The two of them didn't say much, just glanced at each other and started to walk down in unison.

Maybe it was faith in science, but neither of them were terribly frightened anyway.The stairs are not very long, but enough to go deep underground.Fortunately, this is not a scary ghost story. There are no monsters or weirdos imprisoned in the basement.

At the end of the stairs is a not too big square room, this room is much cleaner than the outside.Although it cannot be said to be spotless, at least there is not such a thick layer of soil.A rectangular table was placed in the center of the room, with a stone or metal panel inlaid in the center.There are some neatly arranged chairs around, and there are cabinets in the corner, and it can be seen that there are tableware in it.And next to it there was furniture like a stove.

This looks like a warehouse, or... a kitchen?

"It's not so much horror as it is full of mysteries." Kagawa looked around to observe the room, he said, "However... based on the conjectures of the illnesses of the patients in the town and this 'secret kitchen'... oh, I'm a little nauseous now."

"At least we didn't see people who were half-eaten." The doctor was quite thoughtful, and he came to the table and looked at the stone tablet embedded on the table. , then we will be saved. This is a revelation from the devil."

"Sounds like someone talking." Kagawa raised his eyebrows, talking about the craziest thing he knew... Emerald Island?When it comes to demons, they really have their style.He said, "Is it one with God... The two people just mentioned 'God's Punishment'. Can I understand it as...they ate God?"

"However gods don't exist. So they eat one or more 'people' they think are gods...and get the disease they have now." This probably makes sense.Touching the slate on the table with his hand, the doctor said, "Who are those who are considered gods?"

"Isn't that obvious, Doctor." Too easy.There is little suspense.It was once known as the 'Draco's proving ground', and the fireplace is also painted with a mark representing the Draco.Coupled with the concept of 'people who are regarded as gods'.Isn't it clear who was eaten?Kagawa's expression darkened, and he said, "It's the Celestial Dragon. The one who was eaten was the Celestial Dragon."

"Is that what you just said... the people who are regarded as the supreme leaders on your planet?"

"Ah, the supreme leader, the nobles of the world... Although they are the same human beings, they hate human beings and think they are superior to other people." Kagawa curled his lips and said, "But there is also a problem here , if the people on this island really attacked the Celestial Dragons...or even ate them all, I don't think the navy or the world government will sit idly by."

But now, all insiders are doing their best to hide the island and don't want to get close at all.As for the reason, if it is just speculation, I can still think of some.For example, the only one who can make the world government turn a blind eye to the death of the Tianlong people is the Tianlong people themselves.

This may be the internal struggle of the Tianlong people, or it may be the tricks of the devil. No matter what it is, the sick appearance of this island has something to do with the Tianlong people themselves.Then the clue points to Mary Joya again.

It is the most indestructible fortress in the world, the safest place to store secrets, and the most convenient place to hide crimes.The person who gave orders to the White Knight in the World Conference, the person who invested in and planned to create the White Knight, and the person who made the island shrouded in "God's Punishment" are all the same person?

Kagawa seemed to be able to see the face smiling triumphantly in the glass hood behind the shadow.This place is not so much a testing ground as a processing plant for destroying evidence and dissidents.That makes sense.

The island is located near the windless zone, surrounded by turbulent currents, and it is almost impossible for people to come and go here.People on the island are in a state of closed information and isolated from the world.It is easy to control their minds.As long as you eat the 'God' you can be saved.This is the same as 'just pray and get God's answer'.Just instill this thought in the believers.

Then maybe not all those who were sent over were Tianlong people.It's also possible that there are others who are just being whitewashed as gods.Who cares, the people on this island have no way of knowing anyway.As long as it can achieve the goal.This group of loyal, stupid believers can solve all troubles——

So, are there more islands like this?After all, from the perspective of function, the possibility of only one is very low.The people on these islands, blindly obeying the control of someone (or people) whom they say is a god but they don't even know what it is, have become the minions of the 'demon', but they themselves don't realize it, even Still praying to God, thinking that I...

It is God's family.

"We have to get out of here, doctor." Kagawa recovered from his speculation, he said, "We have to get out of here before the people behind this island find us."

The author has something to say:

I remember that there was an experiment abroad, which was to take a completely ignorant person to a party that he was completely unfamiliar with, and then take away his mobile phone and all the tools that can contact and communicate with the outside world he is familiar with, and then create in the party Incident, step by step to control this person to let him do some things, until finally even instructing him to kill someone.In the end, most of the people who were tested seemed to go for it, and only a few people refused.The results of the experiment show that when a person is in a state of complete information closure, they tend to lose their minds and become extremely easy to control.

In fact, this is also obvious in reality. For example, people who do not surf the Internet often are easily deceived by rumors and deceptions.The hometown of the white knight here is an island that has completely lost contact with the outside world. If someone with ulterior motives deliberately guides them and controls them, then they may do anything.This is also a common practice of some social media and MLM organizations.Cut off your connection with the outside world first, then brainwash.
