One Piece: Starting to read the file from the dragon-footed man

Chapter 1 1 The Game Begins

*
Li Guanqi is dead, literally.

While repeatedly confirming this fact, Li Guanqi was standing by the side of the road in the state of a soul, watching his body in an extremely distorted posture being slammed into the cement by a huge iron pickup truck. the wall.

The seven orifices bleed, and the limbs are twisted.

Blood was dripping all over the ground, the scene was like the shooting scene of "Death is Coming"*Note ①, or the kind of death that can't be seen at all.

("Death Comes": a very classic horror horror movie, in which most of the deaths are accidents.)
... Fuck, it's also absolutely perfect.

Li Guanqi sighed, he was momentarily at a loss for words about his irreparable appearance, while comforting himself in his heart that he was in great misfortune and helpless, while at the same time he was unwilling to be reconciled to the BE ending of his untimely death.

After all, she is only 18 years old this year, and she has just finished the college entrance examination, and she is at the prime of her youth.

Not only do you have a lot of time to squander, but you can also play, have fun, and pretend with other friends, spend this free summer vacation happily, and then look forward to what the university life will be like. colorful.

But... In any case, it shouldn't be like this. The college entrance examination has just ended, and the dog is taken directly before lying down... How outrageous, isn't it?
Li Guanqi squatted beside her dead body decadently, even though she knew very well that the only thing she could do now was accept her fate, but every time she thought of her days and nights of working hard for the college entrance examination, she only felt more depressed.

[Good afternoon, student Li Guanqi. 】

A strange voice suddenly sounded in my mind, the surrounding space changed at that moment, the wind stopped, and even the countless noisy sounds came to an abrupt end as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Li Guanqi: "..."

Li Guanqi: "...Damn it, where is the monster?!"

When he first heard the sound in his mind, Li Guanqi was stunned, subconsciously wanted to look around to see how to run, but suddenly froze in place due to some sudden changes.

Something... is watching her!
Li Guanqi felt the weird atmosphere. Although she didn't see the source of her gaze, the feeling of being watched was like a densely intertwined net, covering her from 360 to [-] degrees without any dead ends. body.

[I am the consciousness of a world. 】

Li Guanqi: "..."

...awareness of the world?What the hell?Is the world still conscious?

Li Guanqi has been a scientific democracy for many years, and he was a little confused when he heard such a fantasy statement, but the good news is that people who can survive the college entrance examination must be very resistant to pressure, so after a few seconds of silence, they can still hold on. Scalp teased quite easily, and said: "Uh, to be honest, I thought the person who came to pick me up would be Impermanence."

"Actually, this should be the case, but the plan can't keep up with the changes." The world consciousness said, "Because there is something wrong with a parallel universe in my world, so I need a tool person to work for me, for example- -you."

Li Guanqi: "..."

Tool man, good guy... Although you are world-conscious, these words really don't sound human.

"Although... Actually, I think you can find someone else?"

Li Guanqi wanted to refuse subconsciously. After all, such a thing as "serving the world's consciousness as a tool person" does not sound like a good thing to an ordinary person like her. "You must know that there are more than 70 billion crooked neck trees in the world. I'm just one of those hard-working high school candidates, and to be honest, I don't think I can do this."

"What you said is very reasonable, but since you have already taken the college entrance examination, I don't think you are so hard." The world consciousness's reply can almost be said to be quick in response, "Don't belittle yourself, student Li Guanqi, the truth is Come on, I think you are excellent."

"Haha, coincidence, I always felt the same way before the grades came down." Li Guanqi sighed, "But the facts tell me that this is an illusion."

"Hmm." The world consciousness pondered, "It doesn't need to be so real in the world."

"Hey." Li Guan scratched his head and smirked, "It's true to be down-to-earth."

"I know your concerns, student Li Guanqi." The world consciousness sighed: "Then what if I say, I can resurrect you?"

Hiss... Resurrection!
Li Guanqi covered his chest, what a temptation!
Li Guanqi's thought of continuing to refuse suddenly stopped, but considering his status as an ordinary person, he still made a rational analysis: "But I'm just a student, my brain fluctuates around 800 points steadily, and my body is stretched to death. No more within [-] meters."

"Oh, about [-] points... Compared with most students, it does sound very ordinary, but I think it's okay, because I know your thinking is very flexible, so this is enough." The world consciousness didn't care about this , "As for the body, it's even easier, because I can create new ones for you, and I can even open them for you. To put it in terms you are more familiar with, it can be upgraded like playing games, and you can also gain skills. "

Li Guanqi: "..."

Gan, to put it bluntly, isn’t this VR simulation? Wow, isn’t it so fashionable to save the world these days?

Another World Dragon Quest?

But she is not a neon high school student, so isn't this setting a bit of a cross-talk?
Li Guanqi took a deep breath, feeling that the development of the matter gradually became exciting, "Can it be revived infinitely?"

"No, death is real." World Consciousness said without any pause, "But you can read the file countless times until you succeed."

Fuck, this sounds awesome!
Li Guanqi's heart was moved, "What do I need to do then? Uh, according to your description, save the world? RPG character adventure style?"

"No, it's an open exploration game. It's just that I need you to save people, save those who are worthy of being saved, and change some of my regrets. I like the happy family ending." World Consciousness said, "type HE* note ②, even if you pass the level." (HE: the abbreviation of happy end, meaning: a good ending.)
Li Guanqi asked: "The reward is resurrection coins?"

World Consciousness said: "Yes, the reward is resurrection coins."

"Okay, that's a deal! I've done the job!" Li Guanqi said excitedly, "Let's have a happy cooperation!"

"Okay, happy cooperation, student Li Guanqi." The world consciousness let out a gentle chuckle. "Don't worry, I'll watch over you."

It's not a disease, it's not a hallucination, it's not a prank by a devil fruit user, and of course it's not a global contagious disease.

18 years ago, for some unknown reason or material, a translucent black screen appeared in everyone's field of vision without warning, in a state that could only be viewed but not touched.

It can't be destroyed, nor can it be eliminated. It is something that appears suddenly, but it seems to be a natural phenomenon that has always been like this and is accompanied by everyone.

Whether it is poverty or wealth, whether it is clear or blind, whether it is day or night; age is not a problem, gender is not a problem, and even race is not a problem. In short, black screens exist in people's field of vision without discrimination.

It will not bring any casualties, and there is no benefit to be gained, just stay there quietly, as if it has no meaning.

But whether it is the navy, pirates, revolutionary army, or the world government, everyone has nothing to do with the existence of this screen.

In the beginning, people were panicked, anxious, uneasy about this weird situation.

But as time goes by, I gradually get used to the existence of the screen, and even accept it as a part of my body.

In short, the civilians live as usual, the nobles continue to have fun, the pirates are pirates, the navy is the navy, the relationship between the revolutionary army and the world government is still open and secret, and the slaves continue to struggle in the dark cage The light of day is never seen.

It's as if nothing has changed.

But until, on an ordinary morning after the screen existed for a full 18 years, the originally pitch-black screen suddenly flickered with white snowflakes after a beep sounded.

"Eh? Suddenly why..."

"Look, this thing is lit up!"

"Ah, why did it suddenly light up?"

"It's strange, it was always black before?"

People are puzzled, dazed, and curious.

They couldn't help but stop the things in their hands, and looked at the screen that had been in the field of vision for 18 years. While they were confused, they were also curious whether this new change would bring about any different changes.

different change?

……maybe.

In short, after the black and white electronic snowflakes flickered for ten seconds, as if they had finally received a radar signal, a colored image lit up in a flash.

At the beginning of the picture, what is shown is the endless sea in the dark night.

The bright moonlight shines on the surface of the sea, sparkling with tiny sparkles, and then, the dreamy whale floats out of the water along with the stars, and huge waves surge up and fall afterward.

The ethereal harp is playing, and the stars are gliding in the curtain of the night, cruising the mysterious sea area from a bird's-eye view, showing the tip of the magnificent icebergs in the world.

【叮—咚——】

[Hello, everyone! 】

[Welcome to watch "Infinite Route Battle" sponsored by World Consciousness]

The voice of gender and age is ethereal and illusory, but it rings clearly in everyone's ears.

People were taken aback, but the voice continued, and the shots on the screen kept changing along with his narration.

Government, navy, nobles, pirates, revolutionary army...

"Pirate! It's a pirate! The pirate is here!"

"Everyone! Run! Ahhh!!"

"Please! At least let my wife and children go!"

Horrified begging for mercy.

"Wahhahahaha, who cares about you! Little ones! Kill everyone! No one left! Wahahahahaha!"

[In this world, pirates are rampant and the government is corrupt! 】

"Bang! Boom!!"

The trigger was pulled, accompanied by the sound of the gunshot, and then the man fell down, and the bright red blood surged out from the gradually cooling body, soaking the ground under him.

"--what!!!!"

A woman's scream followed, but that cry stopped abruptly as the gleaming white knife turned blood red.

[Princes and nobles control the lifeline of the country and solidify the class gap! 】

"But! We have really tried our best!"

"Just give it some more time, just give it some more time!"

"Please, we must be able to collect the gold in the sky!"

[Revolutionary Army, Pirates, Navy, and the three parties continue to have conflicts, and the darkness of struggle spreads all over the world! 】

"Damn the revolutionary army! The navy is justice!"

"Look at these war-torn countries! Look at these dead people!"

"That's just a necessary sacrifice!!"

"Navy! Look at this world! How can you say such a thing?!"

[And with the advent of the era of great pirates, wars and oppression without limits have aggravated the suffering and disasters of the people! 】

【Especially the "Chambordi Islands", which is called the dream island by the world, because of the existence of princes and nobles, the people live in dire straits! 】

in the dungeon.

The scarlet blood painted the cold stone wall, and the painful wailing and unbridled laughter played a movement called "Cruel".

Death follows like a shadow, and the fire flickers, but it illuminates pain and despair.

Hope, never spread here.

[As the saying goes-the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road! 】

【right!money!status! 】

"If you have money, you can buy anything!"

"I'm from Tianlong! You untouchables should kneel down to me!"

"Who allowed you to laugh? Ah?!"

[With them!You can bring the navy to its knees!The general who commands the navy will dominate the side for you! 】

[With them!You can burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil! 】

【Holding the strongest gold medal in the world to avoid death, eating the blood and flesh of the common people, making waves openly! 】

The sky is blue, and the dreamy bubbles are all over the sky.

The sun reflected a brilliant rainbow, but the light scattered on the ground illuminated the broken limbs and arms.

People knelt humbly on both sides of the road, their backs bent, and their terrified faces were buried in the shadows.

And the proud Tianlongren had a smile on his face, looking aloof, stepping on people's dignity and swaggering away.

"Hahaha! We are—Gods!"

【Then, now!The live broadcast of the game has officially started! 】

【"Infinite Route Battle"】

【Game Start! ! ! 】

"..."

"........."

"…………"

silence.

long silence.

But there is only silence.

When the darkness and cruelty of the world are openly disclosed to the whole world, even if it is only the tip of the iceberg for a few seconds, it is enough to shock and tremble.

There was a strange silence in the air, but at this moment, everyone knew that the world was going to be chaotic.

wait until they—

When those people realize that this "darkness" is actually a truth hidden by the world and not known to most people, the ghost knows what the world will turn into.

Peace, or war?

what……

Only catastrophe remains.

Then turned around and started the live broadcast.

Li Guanqi: "..."
