Happy death in the reincarnation world

Why did Leo suddenly want to join us on this journey?

Nakahara Chuya was wondering, when he heard Sawada Tsunayoshi say in a helpless tone: "Okay."

Zhong Yuan became more and more strange. He flew to Sawada Tsunayoshi and asked in a low voice, "Tsunayoshi, what's going on?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that he's leaving again." He lowered his voice: "I'll tell you the rest when I go back to the house."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded, although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.

Next, under the command of Sawada Tsunayoshi, it took them a while to slowly put Leo back from the air to the ground.

In order to give Leo enough time to buffer, they spent more than an hour at a height of only 70 meters.Even so, Leo still had a strong reaction during the fall. His body was split inch by inch, blood gushed out frantically, and healed continuously with the powerful healing power he obtained after turning into a monster.

Leo's body twitched crazily, obviously enduring severe pain.

This is the first time that Chuya Nakahara has observed the reaction of "pressure" in the mouth of Tsunayoshi Sawada so intuitively to living things.

Although Leo has become a monster, his physical fitness is much weaker than the monsters that have lived here since ancient times in the forest of monsters.He was like a deep-sea fish who was taken quickly to shallow water, and the huge pressure change was too much for him to bear.

It's also because he has the body of a monster, otherwise, if he were any ordinary person, he might not be able to survive at all.

Sawada Tsunayoshi has stayed in the [Abyss Labyrinth] for a long time. In order to improve safety, he naturally prepared many healing potions.

Zhong Yuanzhong was not stingy with the expensive medicine in his hand, and gave Leo an injection directly.

After all, it was produced by the system. Even with such a serious injury, Leo recovered his calmness after a few gasps, and the open wound on his body finally healed, and there was no sign of opening.

"Are you okay?" Ba Mamei and the others also gathered around and asked with concern.

Leo took a breath, shook his head reluctantly, and thanked: "It's okay, I'll just go back and have a rest."

Several villagers came up and helped Leo back to his house, while Sawada Tsunayoshi took Nakahara Chuya and others back to their temporary wooden house.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't wait to ask this question again, and briefly explained the situation to Ba Mami and others.

Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, with a helpless and sad tone: "I told you before, after each creature enters a higher level, most of its body will more or less undergo...changes. Just in case, he deliberately omitted the word "evolution", but Nakahara Chuya and others understood what he meant and nodded.

Sawada Tsunayoshi continued: "[Tower] has found after continuous research that no matter whether it is human beings or other creatures, they cannot resist the yearning for a higher place."

Just like human beings cannot resist yearning for the sky and the universe.The same is true for people in this world, even if they become such monsters, one day, like other investigators, they will embark on a journey again, towards another evolution.

"The founders of Xilin Village were originally more than that." Tsunayoshi Sawada said, "But in the end, only Leo remained."

After all, Leo is also an AAA-level investigator. Although he is not as good as a top elite like S-level, he is still a high-end human being.So with his mental strength and physical fitness, he was able to stay on the third floor for such a long time.

Although some of his partners died in the process of building the village, more of them couldn't restrain their yearning for a higher level, and started their journey first.

Leo also knew that he would have this day sooner or later, but the trifles in the village made him temporarily forget this, but until he was taken up into the sky by Killie Bird and saw the waterfall, his desire for adventure and the upper world was no longer there. I can't restrain this impulse and enthusiasm.

"Is that waterfall the entrance to the upper floor?" Sakura Kyoko asked.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded and said: "That road is the most convenient and the most convenient. We planned to go here." He added: "The same goes for those monsters. When they grow to a certain level, they will enter the road regardless of the consequences The upper passage."

"After entering the upper floor, what will they, Leo do?" Nakahara Chuya couldn't help asking, his heart moved.

However, Tsunayoshi Sawada did not answer directly, but rubbed the rare and well-behaved Lanbo in his arms and sighed again: "You can witness all this with your own eyes."

Two days later, Tsunayoshi Sawada and his group took the recovered Leo on the journey again.

Leo entrusted the village chief's people to Hami's parents. The two are also the elders of the village, and they have the strongest combat power in the village other than him. I believe they will be able to protect the village well.

All the people in the village were beaming, obviously they were parting, but there was no sign of sadness at all, instead everyone was congratulating Leo, except Hami.

Hami was crying to death in Zhongye's arms. Although he only got along with him for a few days, he liked this handsome human brother very much. His short paws were tightly hooked on Zhongye's clothes. An inseparable posture.

Zhongyuan Zhong also rubbed Hami's head helplessly and affectionately, and said softly, "Sorry, I can't take you with me."

Hami raised his head, blinked his round eyes and looked at Chuya Nakahara, misty, with an aggrieved expression.

Nakahara also put Hami in his mother's hands, and rubbed him gently again.

"Grow up well." He said softly.

For this child, for World Tree, for Yuya Nakahara, who has only been together for a month but really loves him, and for many people who have become friends in the dungeon, even if he is afraid, he has to be firm. Keep moving forward.

After bidding farewell to Xilin Village, the group headed southwest.

It is much more difficult to advance in the dense jungle than on the flat ground, and coupled with the monsters appearing around from time to time, it has been four days since everyone arrived in front of the waterfall.

Finally, this huge waterfall appeared in front of everyone.

The height of the waterfall is at least nearly a thousand meters, and the top is connected to the sky. The huge water flow slanted down from the sky, as if the sky opened a hole, allowing the sea hidden behind the sky to fall.

"It's so high, how do we go up?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also frowned, while closely observing the structure of the waterfall, he said loudly.

The water was rushing, and it became more deafening as it approached.

It is not difficult for Chuya Nakahara to go upstream, but what about Osamu Dazai?Can he withstand such a strong current?

Looking at Leo again, at this moment he was completely stunned, his eyes fixed on the waterfall in front of him, and suddenly the tentacles under his feet folded together like human arms, and he made a prayer posture, like a pilgrimage.

That is a deep longing for the upper world.

"Don't worry, eat this, just get into the water!" Sawada Tsunayoshi took out several pills from the storage space and stuffed them into the hands of Nakahara Chuya and others one by one, saying with great experience.As soon as the words fell, Leo rushed towards the waterfall impatiently. He didn't take the pill or take the medicine, and he plunged into the rushing water without hesitation.

According to Sawada Tsunayoshi, this pill is a technological product purchased from the system, and even Dazai Osamu can easily use it.

But the violent water flow can easily crush even stones. Is it really okay for them, especially Osamu Dazai, to fight directly with □□...

Everyone hesitated for a moment, took the pills under the leadership of Sawada Tsunayoshi, and rushed in one after another.

Just in case, Zhongyuan Zhong also used his body to protect Dazai Osamu.Anyway, his physical fitness is strong enough, even if he is directly washed by the waterfall, there is no need to worry about problems.

The moment I entered the waterfall, my vision suddenly changed.The imaginary huge water pressure did not appear, and under the action of the pills, their bodies became extraordinarily brisk.

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his eyes, and was surprised to find that even in the water, everything around him was equally clear, and there was no feeling of darkness as imagined, except for the faint blue floating around his body that constantly reminded them that this place was in the water. .

Zhong Yuanzhong also subconsciously took a breath, and he was able to breathe normally!

It seems that this is the effect of the pill.

With the help of the pills, the group of people can move in the water very conveniently.As for Leo, who rushed to the forefront, it was probably because his body mutated to have some octopus branches, so he was very flexible even in water.He didn't care about Nakahara Chuya and others behind him, and swam forward desperately.

For him, the distance of nearly a kilometer is only 1 minute away.And Nakahara Chuya and others were able to swim faster than the fish under the blessing of the pill, and they also kept up with Leo's speed.

The group quickly reached the top of the waterfall, and rushed over with Leo without hesitation.

The body suddenly lightened, the waterfall disappeared, and they directly entered an ocean.

"We've reached the fourth floor now?" Zhongyuan Zhong also let out a "huh", and just wanted to sigh that it was quite simple, when he saw a strange noise from Leo who was not far from them.

"What's going on?" Nakahara Nakiya was taken aback, and was about to rush up to check, but was stopped by Sawada Tsunakichi.

"Look well, this is..." Evolution.

Under the shocked gazes of Nakahara Zhongya and others, Leo's body made a crackling sound, his bones instantly grew larger, his body was stretched by the bones, and his skin cracked directly, but he quickly recovered with his powerful healing ability.The octopus-like lower body became thick again, and several octopus legs danced in the sea, like the ancient gods in the Cthulhu mythology, but the size was far smaller than the ancient gods, but they also reached the size of ordinary whales in an instant.

Leo's upper body was originally in the shape of a bull's head, but now it has grown fins. The upper body of the terrestrial creature is also rapidly changing towards the sea creature after entering the fourth floor, but it still maintains the basic appearance of a bull's head. The overall image has become increasingly eccentric.

The entire evolution process lasted 5 minutes.After Leo's complete evolution, he had already turned into a behemoth with a length of tens of meters.

"Leo!" Zhongyuan Zhong also tried to call Leo's name, but Leo just glanced at him sideways, eyes as big as watermelons without any emotion.

With a long moan from his mouth, the octopus pushed with its feet and swam towards the deeper ocean.

"This..."

"He has completed the 'change', and now he has lost human sanity." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed: "From ancient times to the present, once you choose to embark on a journey to the upper world, there is no way to stop these people except death. pace of."

They kept moving forward, moving forward, their bodies changed with every rise, starting from losing their human bodies and turning into monsters, until they lost their sanity.

There is no way to stop it.

This is the only destiny of explorers in this world.

Everyone fell into a long silence for a while, the scene was too shocking, Leo's emotionless glance when he left was deeply in everyone's mind.

It wasn't until this time that Nakahara Zhongya really realized the true cruelty of this world.

It is irreversible, and it will never stop these investigators who are like martyrs from continuing to move forward.

And because this world is controlled, the upper space is completely sealed off, so these investigators who are full of dreams will never have the possibility to realize their dreams, and they will not be able to see the world beyond the highest level for the rest of their lives. They can only be trapped in this small closed world forever among.

"Have you seen such a scene many times?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also asked softly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, he twitched his mouth: "I'm used to it."

There was another silence, and Tsunayoshi Sawada said, "Let's go."

Their footsteps can't stop yet.

Compared with the previous layers, the fourth layer [Endless Sea] doesn't even have the last trace of human touch left, only the last absolute animalism or absolute rationality.

Sawada Tsunayoshi told everyone that there are also tribes living in groups here.

In the endless sea, creatures will change into forms that are more suitable for living in the ocean. Most of them will lose their minds and become ordinary and fierce sea creatures.There are also some that retain human consciousness, but during evolution, in order to survive better, they abandoned the so-called "emotions" and became like Keppy.

They may not be the most powerful, but they are definitely untouchable existences in the [Endless Sea].

And these races will choose to live in the deep sea, away from the shallow layer.

Different from ordinary oceans, the deep sea here is close to the lower world, so it is the weakest and safest opponent in the [Endless Sea], the closer to the shallow layer, the living creatures basically lose their rationality, and at the same time, the more Fierce.

These creatures may jump out of the ocean at any time and enter the next world.It is also true that those weak but rational monsters live in the deep sea.

This is extremely beneficial to Zhongyuan Zhongye and others.

They don't want to touch this kind of highly intelligent and calculating existence. On the contrary, they are monsters in the shallow area. Although they are powerful, they are irrational.

Compared with the previous floors, Osamu Dazai finally felt a slight sense of discomfort when he arrived at [Endless Sea].But compared to a person like Leo who changes immediately after entering the body, Dazai Osamu's discomfort is so light that it can be ignored, that is, a little nausea and dizziness, and it will be fine after a little rest.

Nakahara also knew that Osamu Dazai had spent all his wealth to buy a lot of technological equipment before entering the instance, many of which could allow Osamu Dazai to act safely under extremely high pressure. Looking at the introduction, it seems that it was originally used to explore the universe. of each planet.However, the use of such equipment is limited, and Dazai Osamu will not waste it easily before it can no longer last.

So up to now, Osamu Dazai basically used □□□ to directly counter pressure changes.

There is no one who knows more about Dazai Osamu's physical fitness than Nakahara Nakaya. As a fighting expert in Hong Kong, he has an extremely accurate understanding of the degree of muscle. It's not that he has never seen Dazai Osamu's body. He is also very clear about Osamu Dazai's muscle resistance.

Dazai Osamu is indeed more muscular than ordinary people, after all, he has also been trained by the Mafia.

But it stopped there.

Osamu Dazai couldn't use points to strengthen his physical fitness. No matter how much he trained, he still couldn't reach the level brought about by system strengthening or ability strengthening.

It is said to be supernatural blood or magic, but it is actually a kind of evolution.For example, the existence of Kinoshita who has exchanged werewolf blood is actually a way to evolve towards a monster, but he can change back to human form at any time, and he can also retain human consciousness, reason and emotion.

How did Osamu Dazai do it when even a AAA-level investigator like Leo couldn't handle it physically?

Not only that, including in the copy of [Famine World], it is obvious that the disappearance of food in that world is not purely due to the power of fantasy, combined with West's behavior and words, it is obvious that the disappearance of food contains technological factors. factor.

If it was purely magical power, then he who was touched by Osamu Dazai shouldn't be so hungry at all.

But if it is the power of science and technology, then logically speaking, Osamu Dazai cannot resist it.

As well as the "black hole" Nakahara saw on Osamu Dazai every time he sensed it, all these told him continuously that Osamu Dazai's ability was definitely more than what they thought.

What exactly is Osamu Dazai's ability?

It seems that it is necessary to find an opportunity to solve this problem, otherwise, if they continue to treat Osamu Dazai like this without a head, not only may they lose the optimal solution of many methods, but they will also not be able to better protect Osamu Dazai. Or let Dazai Osamu better protect himself.

It's a pity that there is no way to detect Dazai's ability to rule, so everyone can only focus more on the road with doubts.

Just in case, everyone was still at full speed, and the ocean was full of powerful monsters. By the time they approached the sea, ten days had passed.

This is the longest time they have spent after entering the [Abyss Labyrinth].

Although most of the monsters in the ocean are unconscious, they also have the nature of beasts. They know that they cannot approach powerful beings at will, otherwise they will be killed or eaten.

When everyone approached the sea, there were fewer and fewer monsters approaching them.

However, everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance at all. The absence of powerful monsters means that their existence has been recognized by the creatures of [Endless Sea], and it is very likely that they will arouse the anger of those monsters with thinking in the deep sea. Notice.

In the meantime, they have to leave this floor early.

When it surfaced, everything seemed like a world away.

After ten days in the ocean, they had almost forgotten what the air smelled like.

However, it was too late to take a few breaths, and Sawada Tsunayoshi pulled them into the dive quickly.

The people who were suddenly dragged into the water looked at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi's movements were too fast, and they only had time to see the sea level covered with thick fog, and there seemed to be a faint orange light in the distance, and there was nothing else.

Sawada Tsunayoshi said with a serious face: "The sea is foggy."

"Is something wrong?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuya, and Sakura Kyoko next to him: "Do you still remember Yodel Town?"

As an SSS-level investigator, Tsunayoshi Sawada has extremely high authority in the [Tower], and Nakahara Chuya and others are "investigators". The records of the mission are recorded in the [Tower], and Tsunayoshi Sawada has the right to review Looking at these records, it is natural to know that they have entered the copy where the town of Yordle is located.

The three of Zhongya Zhongya nodded, thinking of the information they saw in the small town of Yodel, Chuya Zhongye suddenly thought of something, and asked in surprise: "It can't be a dream worm, right?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded.

Zhongyuan Zhongye's face suddenly became ugly.

The Dream Worm is not difficult to deal with, but the method of getting into people's heads is too hard to guard against. Coupled with the use of people's fear, the operation can be said to be very doggy.

Thinking of this, Chuya Nakahara couldn't help but glance at Osamu Dazai again.

Sakura Kyoko went for treatment immediately after leaving the dungeon, and took out the bug in her head.Nakahara Nakaya naturally took Dazai Osamu to do the treatment together, but neither he nor Dazai Osamu found any traces of being parasitized.

Both of them knew that the worm in Chuya Nakahara's brain was taken away by Hypnos, but they didn't expect that Osamu Dazai's worm was gone.

Osamu Dazai was able to fall into a dream before, which naturally means that bugs have also parasitized in his brain.

When the two of them thought about it, they realized that Hypnos was probably responsible again.

That must be the reason why Osamu Dazai suddenly couldn't sleep.

It has been almost two years since entering the dungeon of [Nightmare World]. Before Hypnos left, he specially agreed to meet him at the [Nightmare Capital] on the fifth floor.

Now they are only a little distance away from [Nightmare Capital].

I always feel... there will be a fierce Shura field after that...

Osamu Dazai also thought of this, his expression gradually became eager to try.

Nakahara Chuya: "..."

Thinking of the upcoming battle between two Osamu Dazai, he felt a headache.

Dazai alone is noisy enough...

Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his head slightly, and withdrew his thoughts.

Right now, we should focus on how to avoid the dream worm.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's face was heavy, and he sighed with some headaches: "At first, I wanted to bypass the lighthouse and go directly to the passage of the World Tree... I calculated it deliberately, and now is not the active period of the Dream Worm..."

Nakahara Chuya: "..."

He didn't believe that Hypnos wasn't behind it!
