[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 581 Ancient Guardian

Youxiang seemed to hear the meowing of a kitten, and thought it was Matthew.But Matthew, who was lying on his shoulders, didn't even have the sound of breathing.Moreover, that voice seemed to come from deep in the forest.The sky gradually darkened, which made Youxiang feel that the atmosphere was weird and scary, and also felt a little cold.

Among other things, Matthew was supposed to be a fluffy kitten, but his body temperature seemed to be much lower than other kittens.I usually don't feel hot when holding him, but now I realize that a kitten shouldn't be so 'cold' when it's cold.

"...?"

Ace was still thinking about why the camping place hadn't arrived yet, and Youxiang ran to him and held his hand.Although a bit unexpected, this feeling is not unfamiliar to him.His body even has a conditioned reflex, allowing him to shake it back naturally: "Hands are so cold! Although I don't feel anything...it smells good, is it cold?"

"Yes, it's a bit cold..." Originally...it's not very cold now, and this place is in the forest, so it shouldn't be so cold.It was even hot when the sun had not set before.Youxiang felt a little uncomfortable, she said, "Can you hold my hand?"

"Are you really okay, You Xiang?" I always feel that my face is very bad, but You Xiang is too white, and the light is not very good now, and Ace is not sure, but...he said: "Let me carry you, I should immediately Here we go to camp. Matthew?"

"Ah, it's just ahead." Matthew replied, but he didn't say anything more.While Ace was carrying You Xiang on his back, he jumped onto Luo's head, his eyes were looking forward, and his little ears were still moving vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Luo asked.

"I'm just confirming the surrounding environment. Satellites can't take pictures under the canopy, so now I can only rely on the detector with limited functions on this body." Matthew replied truthfully, "Miss Youxiang won't go wrong for no reason. Comfortable. It didn't take long for us to start walking again, and she wasn't too tired. So..."

"so?"

"She is very sensitive to abnormal environments. So I have to be more vigilant." Matthew pressed his ears down, and then leaned back on top of Luo's head, "But I haven't found anything so far. I'm not the omnipotent Mr. Luo , here are some things that only humans can do."

"I see." You mean let me be alert too.Luo responded, he wanted to argue with Ace about who would be the best, but now should not be the time to do this.

They just walked forward for a while, and nothing unusual happened on the way.At this time, it was completely dark, and there was a man-made stone slab around the tower, which made this place not covered by the tree canopy, and one could see the sky full of stars and a crescent moon.

In the center of the stone slab is a roughly cylindrical tower. The tower has no windows and is made of stones. A stone door is tightly closed, as if no one has opened it for a long time.

"No harmful life reaction was detected." Matthew confirmed this, and he said, "But we shouldn't be able to open that door, so let's camp near here."

"You Xiang, are you feeling better?" Ace put You Xiang down first, and then let her sit on the steps leading to the tower, "Hungry?"

Youxiang shook her head, but she was indeed much more comfortable than in the forest.As soon as I got close to this tower, I felt warmer, my breathing was not so heavy and stuffy, and it became refreshing.She said, "I'm fine Ace. Thank you."

"Although I don't remember the past at all, I think I should treat you well." Ace replied, and then patted Youxiang's head, "You wait here for a while. I will help them Camp."

"Yeah." After Youxiang responded, Ace went back to the others.Instead Matthew came running and jumped on Shannon's knee.Youxiang touched Matthew helplessly, and said, "Are you taking turns taking care of me, Matthew?"

"After all, Miss Youxiang is the kind of person who will suddenly encounter strange incidents if she doesn't keep her eyes on her body for a second." Matthew said mercilessly, "Otherwise, you would think that the most bizarre guys in the world How did they get close to you one by one?"

"Matthew is really exaggerating..." Youxiang sighed, then changed the subject, "By the way, what is this tower for?"

"I can't scan the inside because it has no windows and the walls are too thick." I can only confirm that there are no living people on the first floor.Matthew said, "But judging from the appearance, it doesn't seem to be an observation tower. It may have been used for some special purpose. It's just that no one has been here for a long time now."

That's right... I always feel a little pity.The tower looks pretty nice in the moonlight.Still thinking about it, Youxiang heard the cat meowing again, and the sound came from behind!She turned around strangely, and there was nothing behind her, only the heavy gate of the tower could be seen, but at this moment the cat meowed again, and now she was sure that the sound clearly came from the inside of the tower!

"Matthew...you, did you hear the cat meow?"

"what?"

I didn't hear anything... Matthew also looked at the tall tower behind, and he even increased the power of the detector: "I didn't hear anything, Miss Youxiang. Did you hear only the meowing of cats?" ?”

"Hmm, um! It's a very thin voice, I feel a little weak..." I seem to have heard this voice somewhere.Youxiang held Matthew and stood up. She carefully approached the gate of the tower, and the cat meowed a few more times, which indeed came from inside.

However, this door looks very heavy, and it should not be easy to open.Maybe the kitten ran into it from somewhere else, so it shouldn't be a problem...?But if this is the case, why can I hear the cat's voice when I am in the forest?

"Scent!"

At this moment, Youxiang heard someone calling her, she turned around, and saw Ace and the others waving to her.So she ran to everyone with Matthew in her arms.At this time, the bonfire has been lit, the tent is set up, and even the food is ready.

"When I just passed through the forest, I went hunting by the way." Zed explained the source of the hare, and he said, "There is also a deer, wait for me and I will drag it out."

"Let me come." Luo said, just about to use the Room to move the deer, when the forest was suddenly alarmed by something!Not far away, the birds were flying away from the trees, and they could feel something approaching quickly!

"Did you still shoot wild boars or something?" Yiji took a step back, preparing to attack calmly.

"No. And, I usually make sure it's a one-hit kill." It's hunting, after all.Zed also drew out his dagger, and they stared at a certain place in the forest, and the next moment, something burst out from there and then went straight into the sky! !

Black wings and burning flames cover the beautiful night sky!A man with devil wings was hovering in mid-air. He was wearing a mask, behind him was burning for some reason, and his eyes were fixed on Youxiang who was blocked by Ace."Daughter of the Damned," he said.

"Hey……?"

curse……?Youxiang was about to say something in surprise, but the other party had already swooped down on her! !Ace wanted to block it, but he didn't expect to be hit by his punch. Fortunately, Iji suddenly rushed from the side and made him deviate from the track and didn't hit Yuxiang!At this time, Luo grabbed Youxiang in time to let the frightened foolish girl leave the place and run into the forest!

"Matthew! What is that?!" A man with wings? !Could the corruption disease still make people mutate? ?Luo shouted while pulling Youxiang to run.

"Mr. Jin???" Matthew was quite surprised. Although he was carried by Youxiang and ran away, the detector was still observing the situation on the other side of the tower. "He is here...and, he said that the cursed daughter , Could it be..." He once called Youxiang the Cursed Daughter at Wano Country's banquet, and that was before Youxiang went back to the past.Didn't Jhin also lose his memory?

Jhin seems to be the descendant of an ancient race, maybe he is also immune to magic... no.If so, shouldn't he still attack Miss Youxiang?Although everyone is an enemy, but the situation has changed so much now, Jhin doesn't seem like the kind of person who can't see the situation clearly.That said, are there other possibilities?

Damn, I want to communicate with him more, but now he seems emotional, so I can only give up!

"Anyway, run!" Matthew said immediately, "I don't think we can stop Mr. Jhin's attack, I'm afraid he is not Kaido's most powerful subordinate...Although I don't want to be an enemy of him now, but there is no way... "

"Matthew...he, he just said...the cursed daughter is..."

"coming!!!"

There was no time to ask, almost at the same time as Matthew's reminder, something rushed over from above! !Luo Meng backed Youxiang, and the attack was in vain, only to hear a thud!The ground was shot an impress!The trees and flowers are on fire!The man named Jin stood between Luo and Youxiang.

He didn't seem to be interested in other people at all, he just turned around and looked at Youxiang who was lying on the ground at a loss with cold eyes!

"Mr. Jin!!"

Matthew made a sound before he moved forward: "Do you remember us?? Things have changed now, so can you—"

"...Why do you know my name?"

This sentence dashed Matthew's hopes.Jhin really didn't remember either... He was obviously given a new identity.Although I don't know what this identity is...

What to do... It's scary, this person exudes murderous aura, he, he wants... to kill himself!Youxiang could clearly feel this.She hugged Matthew tightly, trembling slightly but still trying to stand up.There is one thing she wants to know, even if she is going to be killed, she also wants to know this thing: "Mr. Jin... what does the cursed daughter mean?"

"It's you." Jhin replied directly, "I'm waiting for you. Daughter of the Damned."

"Why, why?" Waiting for me...

"…………"No.It should not be waiting.My mission...it should be to protect this tower.But why do you say that?Can't help but say this kind of words... Jhin paused for a while before speaking: "No one can approach this tower. It is an ancient facility to seal evil spirits. And I am the guardian of the seal."

Suddenly the plot becomes RPG! !How much do you like Dragon Quest! !God of this world! !Matthew complained mentally, but Jhin obviously didn't care so much, he walked towards Youxiang step by step and said, "Daughter of the Curse, I think... I'm waiting for you to kill you."

The author has something to say:

It’s Jhin——! !I'm sorry, because there is no hint at all, so it's normal not to guess.

I've been super busy during this period of time... Although there are also reasons for me to play games, I am also very busy at work. If I haven't updated recently, it must be that I have been forced to work by the director again (crying ) Let me hug Xiangxiang first...
