[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 706 The Encounter of the Lost

It really makes people feel anxious... Is this a maze?

Looking at the messy Yoshihara Corridor that he had walked through countless times before him, Mansfield smiled wryly. He sighed, then shook his head and said, "Although I feel very happy to meet you, Miss Nun. But it seems that you are also No idea."

"You are the first different thing I have seen in a while. I think this should be regarded as an improvement." Qianchun seemed relieved, she sat on a chair in the corridor and said, "We should now Stop and exchange information."

"Indeed." Mansfield was also very happy to meet Chiharu.As soon as he was distracted, he got separated from Youxiang and Yiji, and was trapped in this circular corridor for a long time.

The corridor is the corridor behind the Ranmaki Yoshihara Hall.It connects several rooms, and although it is possible to enter, jumping out of the window or trying to destroy the wall will end up returning to the entrance of the corridor again.Completely trapped in this small area.

"I thought I had cracked the devil's magic." After all, the previous dream of seeing myself as a child was useless.Maybe it's another attack?Miss Youxiang, are they all right?Mansfield still had the energy to worry about others, saying, "I guess you've already breached walls with your weapons."

"Ah. That's right, but it's useless. Walking through the damaged wall, you will return to a certain place in the corridor, and the damaged wall has also returned to its original state." Qianchun spread her hands, and she said, "What do you know? ?"

"Well... I have a conjecture, I wonder if I can convince you."

"tell me the story."

"I don't think we are trapped in the same corridor." Mansfield took out a cup from his clothes as he spoke, "This is the second time I have come to this corridor, and this cup, I took it away when I came here for the first time." After speaking, he pointed to a round dust mark on the small side table next to him, and then placed the cup on the scene, which just coincided with it.

This guy... Chiharu watched Mansfield walk in when he was in this room, and there should be no one outside before he walked into this room.That is: "Are there really many identical corridors connecting to each other, and we're stuck in a maze of connecting rooms?"

"That's right. I thought so. That's why I took a cup and tested it. Now I have proved that my conjecture is correct." Mansfield said, "All corridors are connected to each other, although I am not sure here. Whether there is really an exit, but I have basically grasped some rules."

"for example?"

"Enter through the door of Room 1 in Corridor A, and after walking out of the window, you will definitely come out from Room 3 in Corridor B. Room 2 in Corridor B is connected to Room 4 in Corridor C..."

"Wait a minute." Who can understand you when you say that!Chiharu interrupted Mansfield. She said, "You tell me the conclusion."

"Every room and every possible 'entrance' is connected to each other. Therefore, destroying the original structure of the corridor is the most reasonable choice at present. Because it will create entrances and exits that were not expected, so that it is possible to enter the unsuspected The 'room' is set up, where there is a possibility, there is a way out."

Mansfield smiled and said, "So, it's great to meet you, Miss Chiharu. After all, your firepower has always been sufficient!"

"You guys really don't feel nervous at all...Speaking of which, are you able to distinguish exactly the same room?"

"I will deliberately move some things in the place where I walked, leaving some marks." Mansfield explained, "Also, what I have seen will never be forgotten, so even small differences can be replaced I can see it. By the way, I found you and another lady in several rooms, so I'm pretty sure it's not just the next person."

"Can you see this!"

"Of course. It's actually very easy, just pay attention!"

"It's not a question of observation at all... Ah, by the way, who is the other lady you mentioned just now?"

"Judging from the shoe prints, it should be Mrs. Shi Jiang." It was the footprints of women's clogs.Mansfield replied, "If the maze is physical, we have your fire support. If it is magical, we don't have to worry about finding Madam Shi Jiang."

And you are the think tank... This demon is really kind-no, this is not kindness, but something similar to a transaction or a test.Demons aren't really evil after all, they're just doing what they've been summoned to do.Only humans are really bad.

"However, there is one thing I don't quite understand."

Qianchun was still thinking about it, and Mansfield went on to say: "This demon will pull us into a dream. If this is also a dream, then why are Miss Qianchun and Mrs. Shijiang trapped here?"

"Does it matter?"

"Of course. The devil is the product of the 'heart'. If we want to break his magic, we need to overcome our own 'heart' first. And dreams... are also the product of the heart, Miss Qianchun. It may be the three of us here Infinite corridors created by our 'heart'. We are trapped in this labyrinth by our own hearts."

It's really interesting, it turns out that I have been trapped somewhere...in fact, it's not that I haven't discovered it.This is my own heart, I already knew it.But to overcome it, to break through it, is easier said than done.The devil must have also taken a fancy to this, so he changed his strategy.Instead of bothering to create dreams, it's better to let people trap themselves, how easy it is.

Miss Youxiang, I may need your help now.

Mansfield lowered his eyes. He said, "Maybe we're all trapped."

"Alone...fighting the devil." Qianchun stood up, she didn't say much, but she took out a weapon from nowhere and pointed it at the wall on one side, "I was taught that the devil will always take the pure The mind serves as a shield. Therefore, in the critical moment, the exorcist always has to fight alone. I have such a realization, Mansfield."

"Miss nun is so handsome~"

"However, human beings should not be able to survive independently." After all, they are social animals.Qianchun also smiled, and she said, "The three of us are trapped here, probably because we can't get rid of our 'inner demons' alone. Then try to help each other, Mr. Mansfield. The devil's way can't win, Let's try the human method!!"

While speaking, the sound of machine guns filled the entire corridor, and the opposite wall was quickly smashed as if it was papered!Mr. Mansfield was now very relieved and unafraid that this energetic lady nun was not his enemy--and it was very good.

"The methods of human beings are really amazing, Miss Nun." Mansfield watched the wall fall in front of him with a beautiful smile, and he said, "Where did you get the nun's license? Mobile Suit Research Center? "

"Of course it's in the sacred and solemn seminary." What the hell is the Mobile Suit Research Center!Sister Chiharu replied, "Anyway, if you just follow the branch line like this, you can always find something."

"You caught the point and expressed it in a very cool way!"

"Has anyone ever told you that sometimes your tone of voice is particularly offensive?"

"I will shut up, so please put down the machine gun!"

Mansfield had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this time.He envisioned about 300 kinds in his mind: Where did Sister Chiharu put these munitions?possibility.In the end, he came to the conclusion: "Do you have magic in four-dimensional space?"

"If I tell you, I must kill you."

"That's really... even more curious! Please tell me!"

"Okay." Sister Qianchun turned around as she said that, and took out a hatchet from under the nun's clothes, "Do you want me to cut off your neck or your main artery?"

"No!!" Are you going to kill me first and then tell me? !Mansfield was really a little flustered, he said, "Let's change the subject—Mrs. Shi Jiang! Please help me!!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Qianchun turned around with a hand axe, and she saw Mrs. Shijiang standing a little awkwardly and awkwardly behind the broken wall she had just destroyed: "It's really there..."

"The two of you are actually here... that's great. I've been going around here for a long time..." Then suddenly the wall around me was blown apart.Shi Jiang smiled wryly, and she said, "It looks like we've all been trapped in this place by demons."

"So Mansfield was right in his speculation." It's a pity he was right all over.There is no reason to beat him!Qianchun said and temporarily put down the hatchet, "However, the feeling here is very strange... I didn't find any devil's breath. How about you? Mrs. Shi Jiang?"

"Me too." However, there is no doubt that this place is indeed a space created by magic, and it is undoubtedly a world of dreams.Mrs. Shi Jiang said, "I once heard that in the distant era, when the blood of mages had not been diluted, mages with righteous thoughts would take the initiative to enter the dreamland in order to overcome their inner fear and reduce the possibility of being swallowed in the future. I Guess we were forced to join in the same ritual."

"That is to say, the 'Shape of Fear' in the minds of the three of us is an infinite corridor." If this was designed by humans, then there must be flaws.But this is magic, so rationality must be discarded, and it is considered a truly perfect wireless corridor.As Mansfield spoke, he pulled out a chair in the half-collapsed room: "We can only come according to the requirements of the ceremony now."

"I think so." Shi Jiang actually agreed with Mansfield's statement, and she sat down on the chair opposite: "We must overcome the fear we created before we can go out. And this should not be done alone, so we just need each other."

"Hey... Actually, I think I can watch it again." Sister Chiharu had no choice but to sit down, and she said, "I don't have any beautiful stories to share. My stories can't help anyone break through Fear. Rather, I think fear is necessary."

"This is a way of thinking." If you can't beat it, you can only join.This is common thinking.Mansfield said, "I think it should start with the commonality of the three of us. After all, if we didn't have something in common, we wouldn't be here together."

"When I think of having something in common with someone who needs to be punished by God, my cleanliness is about to break."

"It's so sad, Miss Qianchun, are you going to punish me? Although I don't know why I feel a little excited, please let me ask why?"

"Because you actually feel a little excited??" Is this guy a pervert?A pervert disguised under a beautiful appearance and super high IQ.Chiharu said, "It doesn't matter at all, Mr. Mansfield. What matters is what we have in common, what we have in common—"

"We all chose to fight alone."

At this time, Shi Jiang suddenly said: "It's fine for me, for the nun, and for Master Mansfield... At the moment of danger, you all chose to fight alone. I think, although this is the key to victory , but also our weakness."

Fighting alone is a weakness... no, it's more like escaping than fighting.At least I was escaping.thought Mansfield.Even wanting to stay by Youxiang's side is to escape.Escape everything that is 'yourself'.It seems that the devil has not lost his hand, and his own fear is 'himself'.

So what are these two beautiful ladies afraid of?Mansfield looked at the two beautiful ladies who were thoughtful - they felt that if they asked, they would be fierce and beaten, so it was better not to ask.

"I don't have a clue if I sit here all the time." At this time, Qianchun stood up from the chair.She stepped on the chair with one foot, and miraculously pulled out what looked like a bazooka barrel from under the hanging nun's uniform!This forced Mansfield to bend down to see what was under the nun's clothes...

Of course, the one who was waiting for him was slapped in the face by the barrel: "What are you looking at, Lord Mansfield?"

"Four... four-dimensional space!" That's right!I am looking at the four-dimensional space below!Mansfield raised his hands to indicate not to fire. He said, "As the saying goes, fear comes from insufficient firepower. I think your method is worth a try!"

"Well... as long as the firepower is sufficient, even demons will be afraid." Shi Jiang seemed to agree with this method, and she said with a beautiful smile, "After all, Master Yu Sheng is also a timid person. Let me do it." Enchant your weapon, my lord."

"I've heard it's ancient technology. Can you do it?"

"This is my talent, Sister. It's like Yulian can predict the future. I can enchant it. There was a person who wanted me to enchant his ability..." That was a very good experience.When you see other people's love is real, you will not question the existence of love.

Someone can pass that 'love' test.It's just that I... I didn't choose the right person.As Shi Jiang spoke, he pulled out his saber, then cut his hand, and the blood dripped on Qianchun's gun and ammunition.She said: "Every drop of blood is full of magic—the mages used to be. I am only one of their descendants that are about to perish. But even so, I will not allow..."

"The devil will never be allowed to trample on people's world. Sister, please help me."

"Ah. That's exactly what I mean. I was taught that demons always hide behind a pure heart. Therefore, in order not to let the demons use me as a shield... I can only become one of the evil ones. Madam Shijiang. I think God can forgive this kind of evil." If this kind of destruction and killing, this kind of cruelty and ruthlessness, is to fight against demons, God must forgive me.

However, because of this, my "evilness" must not point to the human beings whom God loves.Sister Qianchun raised her weapon: "I will help you, Mrs. Shijiang, and I will never allow the devil to live in the sun with great fanfare!"

"Oh, you two are really excellent women, so do you need to do something?"

"I need you to shut up."

"Please stand back, Lord Mansfield, you will be accidentally injured by magic?"
