[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 691 The Closed Heart Door

Qianchun felt that Jiang's attitude in recent days was quite different from before.She completely changed from a naive and kind woman to a kind but strong person.Qianchun couldn't describe this feeling in simple words. All in all, the current Mrs. Shi Jiang made people feel more reliable.

"Shi Jiang, what happened to you and that Mansfield a few days ago?"

"Huh? When are you talking about? Master Yu Sheng? Master Mansfield is our important guest, right?"

Although he didn't come very often... Qianchun watched Yu Sheng and Shi Jiang's positions completely conveyed, and didn't know whether he should intervene in their "family internal" issues.So let's talk about the results of her investigation in the past few days.The first conclusion is: this store does have some problems.

This kind of problem is not the survival of the female publicists on the surface, but a more... indescribable feeling.Everyone who walks into this store has some vigilance and fear.They came here, as if seeking a little stability in the warm embrace of the female publicist.It can be said to be an addiction that is scary but has to come here.

Qianchun has been working as a 'nun's publicist' here for a few days, and the people who named her almost have some kind of faint fear in their confession. According to them, they can't sleep because of their 'sin', but whenever they come Arriving here, it is like finding a home again, indulging in pleasure and wine pools and meat forests, unable to extricate oneself,

In order to dispel the fear brought about by the guilt, they began to confess to the nun of God.Not even for the things you wanted in the past, but just to be forgiven.

"I hear singing at night, Sister. It's like someone I killed, singing in my living room, my bedroom, under my quilt."

Someone once said: "At first they only appeared at night, and then they began to sing day and night. I wanted to find them, drive them away, and apologize to them. But I couldn't find them. I could only Hearing that song. In the end, I became addicted to the song, which made my guilt even heavier."

Singing... Sometimes, singing can be heard in this store.The female publicists all said that they dared not stay alone in the lounge, otherwise they would hear faint singing, and they themselves were bound by the oppression and fear brought about by survival, and dared not leave.Even a girl who has some ability to leave will be caught by the boss for some unknown persuasion.

"He made me scarier. Even though he was saying reassuring things, the singing turned into a scream before I decided to believe him. I escaped."

The girl who went to other stores and was considered to have escaped said this: "Although Mrs. Shi Jiang is a good person, but... I don't want to go back to that place."

Based on the above investigation results, Sister Chiharu is going to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire store on this day when there are few people.Especially those places that people don't usually go to, there must be hidden secrets of this store.

In order to make the investigation go smoothly, Qianchun specially invited her "backup" to the store to attract people's attention, they are——

"Not enough wine!! I say! Serve the wine! More!! Credit to Mansfield over there!" Sauron, aka 'The Troubled Guest Who Drinks Wildly and Shouts No Quality' .

"You know what little girl? If I had a daughter, it would be your age. Tell me, why do you work in this kind of store?" Sakaski, also known as 'Here to drink but have to show Himself a guest of the upright'.

"I don't care! I'm going to sit here!" You Xiang, also known as "the willful person who is here to pretend to be a female publicist but still wants to sit on the lap of the customer".

"Youxiang, I think you are drunk." Iji, also known as "a guest who is not interested in here at all who is sitting on Youxiang's lap but can calmly point out the problem".

"Ah~~~Lord Mansfield!!"

"Lord Mansfield! Please drink more!"

"Do you want some fruit, Lord Mansfield??"

"Thank you very much. You are all very beautiful women, I am really flattered." Mansfield Vallance, also known as 'a quality guest who is super welcome in every way'.

"Miss Boss, please listen to me carefully... I won't wear this dress!! I won't wear it!!" Olu, 'the guest who was forced to wear women's clothes'.

"Hahahahahaha! Let him wear it! Let him wear it! After putting it on, I will name you, Olu!" Shanks said, "To see the ugly appearance of his companions, he joined in the fun and drank too much guests."

"Why?? Why is it only for the old man... What is this?? Marco???" White Beard said, "Grandpa who came to make up the numbers."

"It's warm honey grapefruit tea, daddy. Good for health." Marko, 'the nanny who took care of grandpa and the others'.

"Heretics!! How can you drink hot grapefruit tea?? You heretics! Add ice cubes to me! I want to drink the bright one! Oh yes, I want two cups!!" Frey, 'Just come to drink grapefruit tea nothing more'.

Although none of these people looked very reliable, Sister Chiharu was very satisfied with this lineup.Once they made a fuss in the lobby, no one would notice him who was moving secretly.I'll leave it to you guys!

With that in mind, Sister Chiharu entered the backstage.In addition to the lobby of this store, there are only female publicists and other employees' lounges, bathrooms, and locker rooms at the back, and people often walk around.Some of the remaining rooms are unsigned, some are VIP rooms, and some are rooms where even the people who work here don't know what's behind the door.

In any case, let's investigate them all——

"What are you doing here, Mr. Doflamingo?" As soon as he said that he was going to start, Qianchun found that there was someone beside him.

"Come to help you." Dover looked around, the calm smile was no longer on his face, "I'll help you, nun."

"…………why?"

"why?"

"I'm afraid you are the person here who has the least interest in this matter." Qianchun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, and said, "You didn't want to push things forward at all, did you? What made you change? idea?"

"You insist on hearing me 'confess' to you, don't you, little nun?"

"I'm a nun after all," Chiharu said, taking five minutes to listen to you, "and I'm curious...you're different from all of them. Why did you suddenly change your mind, Dover?"

"Everyone started calling me that, right? When you think about it, you will regret it." Dover spread his hands, and he said, "Okay. I'll tell you. Before that, I really didn't want to Change the status quo, because once the world returns to normal, I'm going to go back to the big prison under the sea, who wants to?"

"Understandable. So what changed your mind?"

"...that little girl still can't sleep well." Dover lowered his voice, he said, "I thought she would gradually get better, but I was thinking too simply. I want to save her... No. Yes If you want to help her, you have to restore everything to its original state first. Although I can't help her at that time, at least she doesn't have to bear what she shouldn't bear."

That's right.Do you still feel that she is more important than freedom in the end?Qianchun smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person, Dover."

"What can I do... If something happens to that little cauliflower, my stupid brother will cry in my ear as a whole." What else can I do, after all... Dover said, "After all, Tian Yasha has already Defeated, I'm 'Dover' now. That's what they say."

This reason is also acceptable.Qianchun said: "You still have something you haven't told me, right? Dover? If you confess to God, you have to tell the whole thing?"

"Hey... okay, but you and your God may not be able to save me. No matter how much I repent, I will not atone. After all, to me, all the evil deeds I have done are like revenge. Same. Does that make you give up?"

"Revenge..." Maybe there are more similarities between us than imagined.Qianchun muttered, and she said, "I think I can understand your feelings."

"Ah. There was once a person, I think she did absolutely nothing wrong. She just loved the people she loved deeply, but in the end, those people betrayed her trust and made a very wrong decision. Killed her with my own innocence." Dover said, "If I ever make another 'wrong' decision, will Youxiang also—"

"Dover. Don't be afraid."

"what?"

"Don't be afraid. Even if there is a little worry, I think in this place, people will unconsciously panic about what they fear most and continue to expand its influence. Don't be fooled?"

Are you afraid... afraid of repeating the same mistakes, afraid of being like your father and killing your mother?But is it a bit ironic to still do this now?Although it doesn't mean that you regret the past, but... Rossindi, can you still accept it?If you make the right choice now, you...

"Dover, what are you thinking?"

"That's right, I can't understand what you guys will say."

Dover heard Rosie's voice, and then smiled: "How can I have such a stupid brother... Forget it. Anyway, sister, is it time for confession? Let's do something serious?"

"Dover, do you want to act with Miss Nun? Don't! I always feel that you will do strange things... I will go too!"

"No. You'll fall and get in the way. Go and stay with Cauliflower."

"Too much!! You actually said that I was in the way...I'm going to file a complaint with Cabbage!! Yah!!"

"I just said, didn't this fall immediately?!!"

Rosie and Dover, aka 'brothers who have a complicated relationship but are actually very close now'.It doesn't matter if they are guests or not, as long as they can make the scene chaotic, right?Qianchun was very satisfied with this lineup, she quietly left in a little secret and started to act alone.She always acts alone because...

A long time ago, I lost my only partner.So, Dover, me too.Although I am acting in the name of God, I am actually seeking revenge.There is no nun who can hear my prayers, no substitute who can mourn for me, I have to go for that person...to replace that person, and finish the unfinished business.

Can't open.

Chiharu turned the handle of a room.Although the door couldn't be opened, a bad smell came from the crack of the door.This is it, this closed door means that my mission is in front of me.Qianchun pulled out a delicate cane from under her nun's clothes, and with a light twist, a very thin white sword blade could be pulled out from the cane.

If you look closely, there are delicate patterns carved on the blade. It is not so much a weapon as a handicraft.

"Demon, I will fight you alone."

This is my mission.

Qianchun raised his sword and stabbed into the door!Intense light erupted from it, everything around became silent, the sound of frolicking in the lobby, and even the voices of the brothers nearby disappeared!

When the nun regained her sight again, standing in front of her was a young man with pink hair.The young man lowered his head, without any reaction, until the moment the nun wanted to get closer, he raised his head, his dark eyes were dimmed, and dry branches 'jetted' out from under his feet, extending outward like tentacles!

There was a scream of a monster in my ear, and everything around me dimmed!

"—Innocence, Messenger of God."

A voice shrill like a monster said: "Your enemy is not even me. It is the man who built this room!"

That is……? ? !Before Qianchun had time to think, the torrent of branches instantly engulfed her!

However, just outside that room, it was business as usual.The door was closed tightly, and the people in the lobby only felt a brief strange silence, and then the noise started again.

"Sister Chiharu...is missing, Dover." Rosie poked her head into the corridor inside, "Did you go somewhere to investigate? How fast did you go?"

"..." Dover looked into the depths of the corridor, and he heard singing.Reason told him that it was better not to get close.He said, "You clearly told me not to be afraid... that little nun..."

"Dover? Is Sister Chiharu in danger?!" Why can't I feel anything? !

"Let's go back to Youxiang first." I'm afraid the matter here cannot be solved simply by 'mortals'.After all, as long as you are a person, you will be 'fear', and as long as you are afraid, the things lurking in front will not fail.Dover said, "Then throw Germa's in there and go explore."

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

The author has something to say:

It is the people who come here that create the fear here.So Sister Qianchun's strategy was wrong at the beginning. If you want to defeat the demon, you need to defeat the person who summoned the demon first, otherwise the demon will not fail.But she just made mistakes that priests would make. Exorcists would not aim their sharp blades at humans. However, the reason why demons can prevail in the sun is because they always use pure hearts as shields.Innocent human beings are the weakness of the exorcist.
