Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

As long as Chuna attacks with the determination to die, Osamu Dazai can dodge.

He dexterously turned somersault forward, avoiding Zhongye's flying legs, and at the same time raised the letter in his hand, and shouted to Shiraki who was checking by the mailbox: "Here is what you are looking for, little Shiraki ~"

Shouting these words, Chuya also glanced in Shiraki's direction, which completely diverted Zhongye's attention.Zhong was also taken aback by the shocking scene in front of him, and didn't even care about beating and slaughtering.

This small building in Shiraki, Chuya has been here before and has seen it before. In the past, the beautiful white walls were clean and tidy, but now... but it is painted with bright red paint, like a special effect of a horror movie, densely filled with scarlet letters on the entire wall—— -Got you.

Red paint flows down the font, like dried blood, making every word vivid and hideous.The repeated "I found you" lingered in front of my eyes like a curse.

The place where I live is being watched by people every day, and I am made into such a horrible appearance. If I am a normal person, I am afraid that I have already screamed and called the police.

But Bai Mu calmly looked at Dazai who jumped towards him, and asked without expression: "Is this what you kept from me... What was written in the letter?"

Dazai held the letter between his fingers, and shook it in front of Shiraki. When Shiraki reached out to pick it up, Dazai deftly hid the letter behind him. He didn't intend to show Shiraki at all, and observed Shiraki's face with great interest. , "Looking at your current appearance... why do I feel that you are not only not surprised or scared, but even have a little... Expectation? Is this unexpected reaction an illusion?"

"...you think too much." Shiraki readjusted his expression, secretly amazed that this Dazai could read his emotions more and more, "...the house has become messy and ugly, how can I be in a good mood .”

Dazai didn't comment on his explanation, and suddenly called out: "Ah, slug, you've become mean."

It's hard to say whether Dazai did it on purpose, or if he was really careless. Taking advantage of the gap between Dazai and Shiraki's conversation, Chuya just pulled out the letter from Dazai's hand, jumped aside and opened it to read.

In the next few tens of seconds after Zaizhong opened the letter, Shiraki witnessed his handsome face turn from white to black, and he fell into a state of rage.

A thin piece of letter paper was torn into snow-white crumbs in Zhongye's black gloves, and then pulled up by gravity to flog the corpse until it was repeatedly hammered into ashes.

"Which bastard is this!?" Although he somewhat guessed the content of the letter, but based on Chuya's reaction, Shiraki felt that it would be better for him not to open the letter to read it.

Chuya rushed over and grabbed Dazai's clothes, "Who wrote it?"

Dazai was like a salty fish, shaking lazily in Jaejou's hand, "I don't know, just like you, I just saw this letter."

"I don't know anything, so what's the use of you? Go to hell, I'll check it myself!" Chuya threw Dazai out, "Shiraki, let's meet again another day, I'll find this bastard first and beat him to death."

Shiraki hesitated to speak, watched Zhong also jumped back to the car, and disappeared into the peaceful street angrily.

Dazai, who was thrown into the Shiraki yard, tried his best to get himself out of the dirt pit he was thrown into, "...the slug is really that single-celled creature, and the person who wrote the letter has fought against him a long time ago, poor Chuya was walked around for several days, and she still doesn't know anything."

Bai Mu figured it out: "Are you trying to get him off on purpose?"

"Of course not, it's such an obvious thing, but he just can't figure it out." It's not easy to get himself out of the pit. After Dazai tried it, he lazily lay flat in the pit, with an obvious tone in his tone. He gloated, "I heard that two days ago the slug wanted to catch the invisible person, but couldn't catch it anywhere, and was so angry that it even demolished three buildings and lost its temper... Poof."

Dazai stretched out his hand to Shiraki, implying that he should hurry up and dig himself out of the pit, "The slug is gone, can I beg for a meal with you... Hey, Xiao Shiraki still has a completely unsurprised expression, you Know about this?"

"When I was brought to the Port Mafia last time, Mr. Mori once mentioned to me that Chuya is currently investigating hostile forces that want to harm the Mafia. They have hidden invisible abilities. And they are familiar with the interior of their headquarters building. The me on the map may become the target of being held hostage."

Bai Mu thought about it: "In addition to that information... I can also be regarded as someone who has personally come into contact with that invisible ability user. At the same time, I am still a goal that he has not yet completed. I have analyzed him before. A paranoid character is extremely difficult to change, and if he escapes from prison, he will definitely come back and get to know me."

While he was saying this, he saw Dazai lying on the ground very moist, so Shiraki picked up the shovel in the backyard, and started to shovel soil on Dazai according to Dazai's wish, "By the way, Dazai, do you like it?" Live-buried? If I bury you in the soil and water and fertilize regularly, what do you think will grow in the soil next spring?"

"Aren't I enough? Xiao Shiraki really likes it so much..." Seeing Shiraki's indifferent expression, Dazai immediately changed his words, "...For this matter, it is not only Mr. Mori, the port mafia who is close Pay attention, our Armed Detective Agency is also very interested in the commander who is hiding behind the scenes this time."

Dazai showed a comfortable expression, as if being buried by Shiraki with soil was not an unbearable thing, "I haven't observed it carefully before, so you planted green plum trees in the backyard... No wonder your shower gel and Shampoos all smell like this, and when autumn comes, I can come and eat your plum..."

Shiraki patted a shovel of dirt on Osamu Dazai's mouth.

Dazai finally jumped out of the pit by himself, and patted the dirt off his body while poohing, "...In short, it's probably like this. Xiao Shiraki, before you recover your combat power, it's better to selectively accept one side. protection. There are only a handful of forces in Yokohama capable of completing this commission, but I think... you would be more inclined to choose our Armed Detective Agency."

Because of his unwillingness to owe favors to Hong Kong gangsters and the Supernatural Secret Service, Shiraki's choices were indeed limited. In terms of ability and friendship with himself, the Armed Detective Agency became the most suitable choice. After all, Shiraki could pay protection fees. , settle with them.

Shiraki finally put down the shovel, "It's not that I didn't realize it... After tomorrow's exam, I will submit a sick leave note to the Academic Affairs Office, and I won't go out easily until I can use the ability again."

If daily activities are confined to the home, such caution can guarantee safety. After seeing the lethality of Ayaki Rei, Dazai recognized the deterrent power of the protective device that Shiraki set up in his own home.

It's just that Ayaki can't go out. As a ghost, sunlight is the biggest natural enemy. Although he has a strong physique and amazing fighting power, his shortcomings are also very obvious.

"It's a pity, Shiraki." After shaking the dirt out of his hair, Dazai returned to his previous casual look, "The sun outside is too strong, although I know someone is making trouble outside, but the one in your house named Tired Children, but there is no way to come out and help drive people away."

Shiraki frowned slightly, and subconsciously put his little finger in a black paper sleeve on the side where Osamu Dazai couldn't see.

"Although the Ability Secret Service Division and the ramen shop are carefully covering up the truth to avoid causing public panic, it is actually very easy for those who are interested to piece together and restore it. During this period of time, what was only heard in legends in the past Creatures reappeared in the world...Of course, the harm they caused was also kept to a minimum because people were prepared."

Dazai Tansue said, "It sounds terrible, but it's not our responsibility. Although I don't know how Xiao Shiraki knew and controlled that child, I believe you have a sense of proportion."

Shiraki nodded, he didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned his head and looked at his house that had been messed up, it was really disturbing to see.

He sighed, after all, he is an expert in cleaning up the mess.Just as Shiraki raised his hand, Dazai next to him seemed to know what he wanted to do, put his hand on Shiraki's shoulder, and used the short-term contact to disable the ability, preventing Shiraki's ability from being activated.

"Now, it's better not to use the ability?" Seeing Shiraki's gaze, Dazai smiled slightly, and let go of his hand, "Leave this trivial matter to those who demolished your house before, and don't worry about it." The guy who gave the money is fine."

Shiraki was still wondering who Dazai was referring to, when he saw Atsushi appearing on the other side of the road smiling and waving to him, holding a bucket of paint in his hand, the intention was self-evident.

Then Dazai walked to the neighbor opposite Shiraki without seeing anyone, and knocked on the door of Ryunosuke Akutagawa's house.

So 15 minutes later, Shiraki sat under his green plum tree, watching his ruthless neighbor activate Rashomon to paint his house.

Akutagawa is indeed a cross-industry talent with great potential. He paints fast and steadily. Shiraki sees it and feels very sorry that such a fully automatic and integrated talent cannot enter other industries to shine.

Soon, except for the smell of wet green paint in the air, the house was restored to its previous appearance, and there was no trace of malicious vandalism.

In order to express his gratitude, Shiraki ordered an expensive and delicious bento box from a nearby high-end restaurant at his own expense, and gave it to several helpers present for their hard work, including Atsushi Nakajima, who had a large appetite. Ordered a lunch box for five people.

After receiving this generous and considerate dinner, the human-tiger boy looked very embarrassed, and because he could eat too much, Akutagawa specially expressed his gratitude to Dunbai with his expression before going home with himself and Yin's bento box. I despise those who eat for nothing.

This is a double standard, Shiraki thought in his heart, doesn't Akutagawa know how Dazai eats and takes his things for free?Why didn't Akutagawa despise Osamu Dazai?

But Akutagawa is still very good. He specifically explained to Shiraki that if he was in danger at home, he would call for help directly across the street, and then set off for home.

When Osamu Dazai left with the bento box in his arms, he also expressed his regret, because this time he failed to get his wish to eat the meal made by Shiraki himself. He seemed to have an irreplaceable curiosity about the taste of Shiraki's cooking.

Back home, Bai Mu and the left-behind child Ayaki Lei briefly explained the current situation, and Lei nodded to show that he understood.As soon as Shiraki returned home, he would spread fine spider webs around doors, windows and other entrances, and anyone who dared to break in without reporting would lose his arms and legs on the spot.

There is actually nothing wrong with this plan, but when Bai Mu read a book at night and saw around 11 o'clock, his doorbell was suddenly rang.

Ayaki, who had been guarding Shiraki's side all the time, suddenly entered a fighting state, and Shirley asked who it was through the door calmly.

Sato said through a doorway: "Shiraki, it's me."

Bai Mu: "...Tired of you to hide, first remove all the spider silk, and then don't be discovered by this person."

After a tense and orderly escape from famine, Shiraki opened the door with a normal face, relying on his stable acting skills, the surprise on his face was just right: "When did you return to Yokohama? Why didn't you tell me in advance before coming here?"

The pink-haired young man in front of him was carrying a Japanese knife, and Sato thanked him solemnly when he met him: "I came here just after getting off the plane. I didn't suffer any loss because of your help in Hakata before. All our team members express their gratitude to you. "

Sabito sent over a box of valuable tea and a box of ramen shop special snacks.Shiraki saw that the tea was his favorite Junshan Yinzhen, and the dim sum was handmade and freshly baked, and the sweetness inside could be smelled through a layer of paper packaging.

Because they are engaged in the catering industry, Sanyashiki Ramen Shop always has some magical purchase channels, and can get good things that cannot be bought in the market with money.Shiraki immediately accepted it pragmatically, "It's okay, the extra bonus that Boss Ubuyashiki gave me has already made me very happy, I'm sorry to trouble you to come to the door in person."

But I didn't expect Sato to say: "We also didn't expect that even outsiders like you would face the danger of being attacked by ghosts. Although you use supernatural powers to fight and don't follow our system, our lord still specially calls people to fight." You made a sun wheel knife. Only by cutting off the necks of ghosts with the sun wheel knife can you really kill ghosts at night, please accept any kindness."

"Thank you." Baimu apologized without distraction, he could even feel tired and shivering under the covers, and tried to push back, "But I can't hold your Sun Wheel Knife."

"It's okay, we took this situation into consideration, and based on the speculation about your abilities, the lord specially created a hollow sun wheel knife, you take it first."

Now that the words have reached this level, Shiraki had no choice but to take the sun wheel knife, and decided to throw it in a corner where he could not see it in the utility room.The threatening aura emitted by the Rilun Knife even made Bai Mu have the urge to throw it away on the spot.

"I saw that you were not in good health that day. How is your recovery? I called you later, but I didn't get through." Unlike the usual habit of retreating immediately after business affairs, today's Sato turned on the chat mode.Maybe it was the experience of fighting side by side before, or maybe because of some more strange reason, Satu's attitude towards Shiraki changed.

But Shiraki was very uncomfortable, and just wanted to send the giant Buddha away as soon as possible, so he mentioned casually, "Please bear in mind, it is much better, but because the exam is approaching, I have been absent from class frequently recently, so tomorrow The exam... Now it seems that I have to review until the early morning before I can go to bed."

Satoshi understood that this was driving him away, but before he left, he brought a sentence entrusted to him by Yuya Shiki, and brought it to Shiraki, "My lord has a sentence, please ask me to bring it to you personally, he said— —He has always believed in your identity, and the experience of fighting side by side in Bodo has also made him see your position clearly, please don't feel any worries or troubles because of that ghost's sowing discord."

This remark caught Shiraki unexpectedly. His identity was almost wiped out by the previous ghost who broke in, but now listening to the words brought to him by the lord of Miyashiki, he conveyed a very kind trust.

Shiraki hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't guess what the Lord Ubuyashiki was thinking. He would say that because he really chose to trust himself blindly, or because of other reasons that he couldn't understand for the time being, he made a decision that Shiraki would not betray easily. judgment.

The protagonist is completely different from Mori Ogai, but has the same unpredictability and wisdom.Shiraki thought that he might not be able to trust the leader of the port mafia, but this Yoyashiki Miyayashiki has a very different way of dealing with people. He treats people so kindly and kindly that it is hard not to feel trust and comfort.

Shiraki never wanted to spend too much time interacting with members of the Ghost Killing Squad. It is good that their relationship with each other stays at the level of business partners, because to develop a friendship with them, Shirley must wait for someone ten meters underground. After that person woke up, he successfully resolved his other shady identity.

Only in this way can he make friends with Satu and truly have a clear conscience.

The deadline was approaching day by day, and Bai Mu didn't know when the blue Bana flower would be delivered to him.Just like Shiraki’s excuse to everyone, he studied day and night for the exam, but no one knew that it took him only two hours to complete the review, and the rest of the time was devoted to researching academic papers and practical cases related to heart surgery .

Shiraki tried his best to imagine every situation that would happen, and considered all imaginable possibilities in his heart.After taking out the bullet in the man's heart, Bai Mu will try to use his supernatural powers to complete this cycle of life and death against the world.He didn't know whether he could overcome various technical difficulties and obstacles, because his experimental theory itself was full of various uncertainties.

He can only rely on himself, and there will be no other people to help, and there is no way for others to help, because his experiment is not a living human clinical trial, so he is now learning as much as possible of various materials for the real final clinical trial. At the critical moment, make complete preparations.

Time is running out on the countdown dial.

Bai Mu didn't want to waste even a minute.

After finally sending Sato out, Shiraki pulled out Ayaki Lei from the bed in his room, and in a trance, tiredly used spider silk to re-cloth all the doors and windows for defense, even adding a layer outside Shiraki's bedroom.

Seeing that he was not in the right state, Bai Mu rarely cared: "Are you okay?"

"That... that haori." Ayaki threw himself into Shiraki's arms, holding onto his thigh and refusing to let go, "There was once a man who wore half of that kind of haori, who took a Japanese knife... and cut it off. my head."

Baimu: "..."

On the grounds that he had been traumatized, Ayaki spent the night smoothly in Shiraki's bedroom, and squeezed into the same bed for the first time.

When Bai Mu woke up the next day, he found that he was tired and sat on the head of his bed concentrating, staring outside the house without sleepiness.

Shiraki read the book last night and saw that it was past three o'clock. At this time, he got up at seven o'clock, rubbed his eyes and went to wash the floor. Before he stepped out of the door, he found that there was a large pool of blood on the ground outside the house that Ayaki was staring at.

This accident immediately dissipated Bai Mu's drowsiness, he turned his head and asked, "Tired, what happened last night?"

"Someone entered the house last night." Ayaki Lei answered with certainty, "The strange thing is that I didn't see any intruders... I only felt something scratched by the spider silk at the door, but I didn't hear any sound, and then I smelled blood. I hit it several times in the direction where the smell of blood was strongest, and my spider silk caught something, but I still let that thing run away."

...To deal with this kind of visually invisible supernatural beings, perhaps tired of attacking by smelling blood, an unexpected professional interface?

But Bai Mu quickly grasped the point: "Since it was so lively outside last night, why didn't I hear anything?"

"I'm also very surprised why the other party didn't make any sound...and I'm sure that the person I attacked has been seriously injured." Ayaki retracted the spider silk arranged around the bedroom, "Unless he is a mute, or How can you not make a sound?"

Ayaki looked at Bai Mu tiredly, and encouraged him: "It's too dangerous for you to be alone outside, why don't you go to school?"

"If you don't show up for the exam, you will be failed directly. This is the scariest thing." Bai Mu vicissitudes of life rubbed Ayaki's tired head, "You worked hard last night, catch up on sleep during the day, and wait at night. I go home."

After grooming, Shiraki appeared at the door in his uniform. Atsushi Nakajima was the one who got up early to send him to school today.

The supernatural beings selected by Osamu Dazai for Shiraki are all fighters with both offensive and defensive abilities. The cold Akutagawa has both offense and defense, but Atsushi with a warm and cheerful smile. Shiraki has not yet fully seen his defensive advantages , because at this time, he still doesn't know the super self-healing power of the human tiger.

But judging only from Dazai's cautiousness, it can be seen that after many years, this metamorphosis user who can become invisible is still very difficult.

But Bai Mu was not afraid.

Perhaps there is not much information that can be searched on the surface, but Shiraki, who had a direct confrontation with this person when he was a teenager, actually has unknown information.

Combining the actions during this period, Bai Mu probably guessed what the detective agency wanted to do.So that afternoon he was the first to hand in the exam papers ahead of schedule and walked out of the exam room.

Then when Shiraki walked into the Armed Detective Agency with a completely different identity from the past, he saw the members gathered in the office of the Detective Agency, and knew that they had been waiting for him for a long time.

And the Armed Detective Agency, which patiently protected Baimu, finally received the first-hand precious information provided by Baimu after his monthly exam.
