[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 585 The Ugly Evil Ghost

During the time of walking towards the uppermost floor of the library, Youxiang heard a lot of voices and saw a lot of people.Some of them will also talk to themselves like Heisen.No matter which one it is, I hope that I can go and look at the books on the shelf.I don't know why, but Youxiang has a feeling that she can't go out after reading the book.

Pupu also dropped the book at the moment when she was about to see it, so she must be helping herself.Except for the young man I met at the beginning, everyone else was addicted to the books in the library.They have all kinds of reasons, but if they have to say the same thing, it may be that they are all seeking knowledge that they should not know.

At least it should not be so simple to know.You Xiang didn't fully understand what was going on here, she just hugged Pupu Pupu and ran up, ignoring those who tried to call her back.

After running for a while, Youxiang started to pant.She ran several floors in one breath, and finally approached the room on the top floor. There was also a light on here. From a distance, she could see a desk inside, which was also surrounded by bookshelves.A man in a black robe sits at a desk.

There was a hood on the man's robes, and the hood was so dark that his face could not be seen at all.Youxiang walked forward carefully, and when she got close enough, she realized that the person sitting behind the desk had no face at all!No, it's better to say that he has no head...?Under the hood and robes was not a human being, but... something invisible.

They form a general shape as if wrapped in a robe.Staring at the darkness under the robe, one can see the beautiful scene like stars inside, but her intuition told Youxiang not to stare at it all the time, and she even came back to herself after being slapped on the paw by Pupu: "Please, may I ask... ..."

"Say your question."

The thing under the robe made a sound, that sound seemed to come from the distant sky, like the sound of the sun, like the moon, like the sound of stars, and like the sound synthesized by many people.

"Excuse me, you are sealed here... an evil ghost, ah, isn't it, a human?" Youxiang changed his words temporarily, after all, no one would be happy to be called an evil ghost.

"I am not a ghost, nor a human being." The voice replied.

"Then, what are you... what?"

"I wait is the answer."

"An answer to what?"

"Everything."

Everything……?After Youxiang heard this, for a moment she wanted to ask her about the things she had forgotten, but then she thought about it, didn't she come here just to regain those memories.Those... memories that mean nothing if you don't experience them yourself.So there is no need to ask... Those precious things are precious because they want to take them back by themselves.

What's more...the atmosphere is a bit weird.If he is really the answer to everything, then why is he sealed here?

"May I ask why you were sealed?" Youxiang felt that the focus should be on the current target.As long as the person is liberated, there is a chance to break the illusion outside.That's why everyone helps themselves.

"...We are not sealed." After a pause, 'The Answer to Everything' replied, "I am waiting."

"wait for what?"

"Birth." Waiting for a birth.He said, "I'm waiting, waiting for you."

wait for me?Youxiang was a little surprised, she said, "Did you know I would come here?"

"When I ask myself questions, I can also get answers. At that time, I...ask: How can I help you?" The voice of 'Answer to Everything' seems to have some changes, and the synthesized voice becomes It was clear and unified, and gradually filled with emotion, "The answer I got was... let everything return to the original. If I, we can stay here, then we will definitely be able to help you."

"I don't understand... are you waiting for me here to help me?"

"That's right. There is incense. My...my master." Ah...you are finally here, I don't know how long you have been waiting, because the time here is different from that outside.Maybe a long, long time has passed here, and only a few seconds have passed outside.But I'm not human, nor a living thing, and time doesn't matter to me.It should be like this.

But I'm very, very...very, very sad, master...is it too late?It's too late?Where did you go?I think of the time a long time ago, in the world without the sun, we can only look up at the days of the black city.Or earlier, even before the fall of the black city, I never, never missed it so much...

Humans are truly amazing creatures.No, rather, from the time we were created we have yearned for humanity, for the living, for your world.

What's more, what about you?My master?In all that long time, I've never met... anyone like you.I never hated humans, but never loved them until you.

"I'm sorry, that... did you wait for a long time?" Youxiang felt that his mood was a little unstable, so she approached him carefully and said, "I don't remember the past...so, it's late! Sorry to keep you waiting."

"..." What are you talking about, my master, why do you always apologize to me?

"We do need your help, can you help me?"

"Do you really need it?" 'Answers to Everything' said, "You are here, I am here to have all the answers. I can tell you all the answers. But when you and I leave here, it changes. I will You can't just tell you what you want unless you pay for it."

"That's right..." That's why people have been in the library.Because as long as you get out of here, you have to pay a price if you want to know something.Is it easier to get something for nothing here?Youxiang seemed to understand what was going on with those people outside.She said, "But Mr. Jhin told me that you are the one who will destroy the new world outside. So I think we must leave here."

"Why...don't you ask me?"

"Ok?"

"Why don't you ask me here, how to destroy the outside world?"

"How should I put it... It seems that I should ask, but I feel that I can't ask..." Is the whole library just you?When people start reading, that's when they're asking for answers.Once you start asking, you can't stop.That's why people get stuck here.So the right thing to do is to not ask any questions about yourself.

Youxiang said: "I didn't come here to find answers, I came here to liberate you. So, if there is any problem, let's talk about it after we get out!"

My master... Obviously from the very beginning, we only approached you for our own purposes.Obviously from the very beginning, we simply want to come to the world we yearn for, and want to get rid of the dark heaven.

But why forgive us?We are obviously using you.

Why are you smiling at us?We are clearly the source of your pain.

This is a question I can't answer, and I can't even get an answer I can understand.Because the answer turned out to be...

"Love."

"Love?"

"The final answer, I can tell you, the final answer, is 'love'. My master."

This is the answer to everything.This is your answer, our answer.I love you.That's why I'm waiting here.While I don't get it and don't understand it, that's the only answer I get.

"Please take me out of here." Even if I will make you pay, even if I will become your eternal nightmare, my master, even so, I still, still...

want to be by your side.

"Hmm." Although Youxiang didn't quite understand, she still smiled, and then stretched out her hand to the 'person' in front of her, "Let's go! Everyone is still waiting for us outside! However, Mr. Jin is very fierce. We have to run quickly after we get out!"

The person on the opposite side raised his hand hesitantly, his hand was almost shapeless, but barely able to maintain the shape of a hand.However, when Youxiang touched his hand, from where they touched, he began to slowly take shape, which surprised Youxiang very much, but she still didn't let go of her hand, but pulled him towards leave.

"By the way, what's your name? Sorry, I really can't remember anything now, so just tell me your name again."

"Lance...Lance...that's the name you gave me."

"Really, that's great." Youxiang turned her head, she laughed and said, "I found you, Lance!"

"Meow!" Pupu, the kitten that Youxiang was holding in the other hand, also jumped onto Youxiang's shoulder at this time, and meowed towards Lance.Lance slowly raised his hand to touch the top of the kitten's head: "My...friend."

"Huh? Lance and Pupu are friends, right?"

"...Yeah, we are friends." I even forgot.Forgot many, many things.Because only by returning to the original state can one escape the catastrophe and wait for the master here.I'm sorry, I'm the one who should say sorry, and I've forgotten a lot of things.Says Lance, "She's a 'miracle.'"

"Miracle... wow..." Youxiang was about to ask what miracle means, when she saw a human face appearing under Lance's hood. Still a little younger.

"Master, let you see my ugly appearance." Lance smiled, and he said, "Don't mind, this is what I want you to see!"

"Lance..." His hair seemed to be fluffy, and he wanted to touch it!Youxiang came back to her senses, and she said, "The previous one was just very mysterious, and it's not really ugly..."

"..." That's what I always say, my master.Lance didn't say anything, he just smiled, until Youxiang dragged him away a little embarrassedly: "Okay, let's get out quickly! Otherwise, Mr. Luo and the others will be beaten to death by Mr. Jin..."

"The flow of time here is different from the outside, so it doesn't matter."

"Ah, is that so... that's great!"

"Um. Because this is basically a dream world ... but the owner doesn't feel uncomfortable -uh, ah ah ah ah ah ah !!! It is restrained !!!"

"Huh?!! Lance!! You're on fire!! What to do! The bookshelves and books are on fire too!! Wow!!"

"Hurry up, get out of here, master!! But don't come near me for now, thank you!!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Sister Temperance is the nemesis of demons, and half of the cases can make the approaching demons burn.

Lance (omniscience) is the answer to everything, the quest for knowledge.He has the answers to everything people want to know, which means that the questions he can't answer are the questions people don't want to know.Lance once said that he was a 'newborn demon', and what Youxiang saw in the library was his appearance before he was actually born.That's what it looks like when people haven't developed any pursuit of knowledge.He has all the answers, and at this time people can get answers from him without any conditions.The "birth" he was waiting for was not the birth of You Xiang, but his own birth. When You Xiang came here, the "Answer to Everything" turned into a demon, that is, the birth of "Omniscience".

Lance also mentioned the reason for this, because when Isaac started to build this new world, he asked: How can I help Youxiang?The answer he got was: return to the way it was.So he and the other demons went back to being what they were and waited, waiting for their master to come.

By the way, the books in the library are actually the answer everyone wants.Everyone reads the content differently. For example, the former president of the company named Haisen came here because he wanted to know the thoughts of users, so what he saw when he opened the book was everyone's life.And if he wanted answers to other things, it would be something else in the book.This library is the 'answer' to all questions.However, after getting these answers, there is no way to leave.It seems that there is no price to get the answer here, but in fact the price is the inability to leave.You can get all the answers you want, but you can never go back to your old life, which is what it means.

Youxiang was able to avoid seeing anything she shouldn't see in the library. On the one hand, Pupu was protecting her, and on the other hand, Miss Temperance was always by her side.Miss Temperance is also the one who has been protecting Youxiang from negative influences during this time.In this regard, restraint is much more reliable than some demons.So the next chapter...

Zed is running away from home.Because the owner brought back another cat, he couldn't live on this day.
