One Piece: Shinigami System

Chapter 85 – Bones

Biting.

This is Hayden’s first feeling after entering this pool of stagnant water.

Even though he had already developed a body capable of resisting the low temperature of minus fifty or sixty under Xiu Baixue’s ability, at this moment, he could still feel the chill spreading in his bones as if deep into his bones.

He opened his eyes and couldn’t see anything in the water, and there was pitch black in front of them. In the same way, in his perception of spiritual pressure, there was nothing in the surrounding water.

It seems that this pool of stagnant water is exactly what it means, nothing, nothing unusual, just a slightly larger puddle, because it is at too high a height, and there is no living thing.

but.

Feeling Hayden soaked in the icy ice water, there was still an inexplicable feeling in his heart that could not stop swaying in his head.

That is, at this moment, Hayden had a guess that was unbelievable, but he couldn’t dispel it-it seemed that he jumped into another dimension after jumping into the water.

This bottomless pool seems to extend into an infinite and vast space, a space that belongs exclusively to “it”.

At this moment, Hayden discovered something in horror.

The water surface with a little light shining from above his head disappeared without a trace when he was not paying attention.

Subconsciously Hayden wanted to open his mouth to make a sound, but he got a big mouthful of cold water in his mouth, tasteless and at a loss.

Hayden began to stroke his hands and feet vigorously.

He didn’t know which direction he had to swim in to escape this space at this time, but he only knew that he had to work hard.

With his powerful flesh and superhuman physical skills, the current speed of Hayden, who makes a moonwalk in the water, is even comparable to the speed of a torpedo in the water. He brought a burst of white bubbles behind his feet to draw a long continuous line in the water. trace.however.

Hayden still didn’t find any signs of the original surface of the water, as if he had been spinning around in place. Although his steadily diminishing physical strength at this time told him, the facts were obviously not what he thought.

At this time, the oxygen remaining in his lungs was also consumed under vigorous activity. Even if he held his breath in the water for more than twice the normal number of times, he could not stand the consumption.

Then, a desperate thought arose in Hayden’s heart.

The oxygen will soon be exhausted, and the surrounding environment where he can’t even see his fingers can’t let him find the outlet water surface in the next second.

I… I might die here…

The decrease in oxygen caused Hayden’s consciousness to appear a little trance, and his strength began to gradually decrease, and he couldn’t help but stop swimming.

Who would have imagined that it was not because of encountering a powerful enemy and dying on the battlefield, but because he was stupid and suffocated to death in this ghost place where birds do not shit!

No one knows, and no one would think of it. When they find me, they will engrave on my tombstone “A navy recruit, accidentally drowned because of accidentally falling into the water.”

Hayden was a little bit self-deprecating, thinking that he thought he could become the number one man in the world, but he was choked to death by himself.

Picture after picture flashed in his mind.

A beautiful, difficult picture of the previous world. He also saw a blurry picture, showing a little girl and a giant? Fragments of fighting together.

When Hayden wanted to carefully see who the person in the picture was, he found that he couldn’t knock open the layer that was shrouded in the picture. It seemed that it was blocked by a thin ice wall and could not be touched.

At this moment, all the images in the brain slowly faded, and disappeared little by little.

At this moment, Hayden couldn’t exert any strength on his body. He couldn’t even blink his eyelids. He could only watch his body and slowly sink to the bottom of the water.

Feeling the squeeze of the water pressure on every skin on his body, Hayden felt that he was not in the water at this moment, but was being squeezed down by something little by little in a solidified liquid.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)The last thin thread that kept consciousness was pulled and was about to break.

Hayden gave up the struggle and allowed ice water to invade his body, occupying every inch and every place in his body, becoming something that did not belong to him.

Boom!

A sound like thunder suddenly came from the direction of Hayden’s head.

Auditory hallucinations?

Hayden forcibly controlled his head and looked up.

It was the only ray of light in the boundless darkness, like a lighthouse by the port in the sea blocked by a storm.

The sudden light suddenly raised hope in Hayden’s heart. It was the kind of hope that had never been so strong before.

A trace of strength emerged from his feeble body, and Hayden used the last weak strength to swim toward the place where the light was.

Then Hayden’s head came out of the water, inhaling the smell of oxygen that seemed to have not been felt in thousands of years.

“Ah~~~”

Breathing in the fresh air, Hayden shook his head vigorously, shaking off the ice water from his head.

At this moment, there were no extra thoughts, only a feeling of lightness spread all over his body, and he could finally breathe again.

Then Hayden wiped the ice water off his face and opened his eyes.

However, the sight in front of him once again frustrated him.Dakong was roaring.

The clouds are surging.

Looking back and forth in the water, he saw a dense pile of white things in front of him, like the trash mountain he had seen, except that it was replaced by this white unknown thing.

In the black rolling clouds, red lightning flashed from time to time, accompanied by an ensemble of deafening thunder.

This is obviously not the place where he dived before!

With a puzzled expression, Hayden paddled with both hands and slowly swam to the shore of the white thing.

When he swam closer, he suddenly discovered that the ground made up of white things in front of him was actually clusters of white bones.

Hollow eye sockets, pale teeth, and bones in the rest. Although he didn’t know what the bones of the human body looked like, he knew very well that they were all human bones.

Hayden didn’t know how to react to this thing.

His expression did not change with his right hand on a piercing milky white skull, and then his left hand on a large bone of unknown part, and his hands climbed up the coast of white bones.

At this moment, a drop of rain hit his head, and Hayden couldn’t help but look up. Drops of rain fell slowly in the midst of lightning and thunder.

Hayden looked around and found that except for the pool behind him that he had just climbed out of, the rest of the place was covered with white bones, and there was no other material in sight.

There is no soil, no plants, and certainly no life.

Looking at the White Bone Mountain not far ahead, which was slightly shorter than the other White Bone Mountain, Hayden walked over, and he wanted to climb up and stand on a high place to take a look.

Using both hands and feet together, even though there are countless tiny spikes on the seemingly smooth white bones, this can’t stop Hayden from wanting to climb to the top of the mountain.

Finally, his eyes were level with the highest point of the White Bone Mountain, and Hayden stretched out his neck slightly and looked behind the White Bone Mountain.Huh!

A red lightning flashed across the sky.

In Hayden’s sight, a humanoid creature appeared on a small flat ground not far behind the White Bone Mountain.

As for why Hayden described it as a creature–

The humanoid creature, almost two meters high, is basically covered with things like white bones. The relatively slender figure has a pair of huge white bone wings that can be known even if it is folded behind.

It looks like a helmet on its head, with a pair of white horns that look like a horrible half-moon.

It stood on the pile of bones, bowed its head, as if it was standing asleep, without any slight movement.

Hayden held his breath uncontrollably.

He was truly frightened by the indescribable temperament on it, and the hands holding the bones could not help shaking, and then a bone on his hand loosened.

With a clatter, the bones on the top of the mountain rolled down with a sound.

“Damn!”

Hayden had just reacted to the lightly hand and wanted to grab the fallen bone.

However, the unknown creature not far away seemed to perceive something.

“Fuck!” Hayden cursed secretly. He sensed the rapid approach of the breath, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction where the breath was approaching.

The hollow in the left chest and the blood and tears that flowed from the eyes of the white skull that was completely wrapped up to the waist.

This is the last scene Hayden saw before he lost consciousness…
