The atmosphere in the detective agency was tense.

Kunikida conjured an automatic pistol from his notebook, and was eager to push the door out to fight fiercely with the opponent, but was stopped by Dazai, angrily said: "What are you waiting for now?! The opponent is coming!"

Dazai: "Wait a little longer."

What is the enemy waiting for? !

At the same time, there was a muffled sound outside the window of the Armed Detective Agency.It turned out to be Chuya in the Central Plains, and the gravity condensed on his legs attacked the brick-red building with great momentum like mountains and seas.

bang.

Everyone subconsciously lowered their bodies and raised their arms across their eyes to prevent their fragile eyes from being scratched by gravel.Kunikida's forehead popped up with blue veins.Really, how long has it been, is the detective agency going to hire someone to rebuild it again?

Unexpectedly, the expected scene of broken doors and windows did not appear.The cadre of the Port Mafia was attacked by a huge reaction force, flipped back in the air, and squatted horizontally on the wall not far away.

Chuya gritted his teeth, what's going on?This kick was like kicking on a prehistoric monster, it had no effect at all, but when I touched this building, I felt that the supernatural power in my body was being lost.

The members of the Armed Detective Agency stood up in surprise.

One of the five major cadres of the port mafia, the manipulator of gravity, his strength is definitely more than that, the last time Akutagawa was able to use supernatural powers to shred walls... why this time?

Kunikida looked at Dazai in astonishment, and as expected, he saw the expression of "as expected" on his face, "What's going on?"

"Kunikida-kun, you should be more aware of this, after all, Yu-kun's remodeling of this building was also completed under your supervision?" Dazai looked back innocently, as if saying that I don't know what happened .

"on!"

Seeing that the attack by the mafia cadres was fruitless, the people in black with weapons were no longer silent. The Miss Higuchi who the members had met before was also dressed in black, and behind her was a group of black lizards from the Port Mafia's militant faction. People point their guns at the detective agency and shoot.

"Suffer to death!"

The black beast on Ryunosuke Akutagawa's coat attacked them not to be outdone.

However, all the attacks on the Armed Detective Agency—whether it was bullets or supernatural powers—were like pebbles falling into the lake, only a layer of air ripples on the wall disappeared immediately.

"This building is weird! Back off!"

Zhongyuan Zhong also shouted at his subordinates after recovering.

creaking-

Everyone inside and outside the building heard this weird sound at this moment, as if a rib was forcibly pulled from the flesh and blood of the body, it was toothache.

Dr. Xie Ye even felt the slight vibration of the saw blade on her shoulder, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What's going on?"

However, no one in the detective agency could give her an answer, and everyone was looking at each other.

The members of the detective agency who couldn't see the situation outside the building were still in a daze, but the port mafia members who could see the whole picture from the outside could see the shocking scene outside.

This ancient building protested dissatisfied like a silent giant awakened by human beings from another world. It broke away from the foundation, separated metal wings from behind, and stretched out under the feet to support the building. On both sides of the legs, strong concrete arms grew out, and the mud fell down from the sides.

It turned out that no one had noticed that the outer layer of this building was no longer the brick structure that had been eroded by the sea wind, but a steel giant covered with an alloy screen skin.The huge screen covering the entire floor flickered twice, and all the projected simulated red brick images disappeared.

The picture went dark for a moment, and an image of a black-haired boy familiar to everyone appeared on the huge screen.On the screen, he is sitting on the ornate throne. Judging from the background, it is estimated that it was shot inside the Armed Detective Agency.

The picture is almost like a huge advertisement projected on a light screen.

Probably the speaker embedded in a hidden corner of the building made a loud sound that could be heard several blocks away.

"stand up!"

"Let the whole world see your naked body!"

I saw the middle school advertising model say this with a deep expression, crossing her legs and crossing her fingers.

Such a strange scene made the onlookers who were hiding hundreds of meters away couldn't help but poke their heads and take out their mobile phones and turn on the camera to watch.Even the black suits at the scene put down the weapons in their hands in shock, and stared dumbfounded at the naked body of the successfully transformed steel giant.

"..."

Isn't this a quasi-cadre in the organization?

Before the members of the Armed Detective Agency had a bad premonition in their hearts, they watched the scenery outside the window continue to move upwards, and finally felt a sudden earthquake under their feet as if a rocket was launched into the sky. The bustling street scene outside was replaced by the white clouds in Yokohama's sky.Obviously, this building has risen to a height that a normal five-story brick building can never reach.

Kunikida blushed: "..."

Dazai: "..."

Oh, he didn't expect that Youjun would actually attack the whole building, it's really amazing.

"...I just want to know what Yu did to this building in those few days." Nakajima looked dull.

There is no need to think about something so bizarre that it is beyond the imagination of normal people. They can all know who did it, not to mention the culprit, who doesn't want to hide what he has done at all, and wants to tell it world.

When a few members of the detective agency barely regained their composure, they turned their heads and saw a few safety belts popping out of the ordinary seats they sat in every day like an interstellar spaceship, and a light screen popped up on the table. See the surrounding panorama clearly.

Everyone looked at the building crawling out of the ground in silence. Huge cannon barrels grew out of its hands and feet, and a scalp-numbing cold light shone from the black muzzle.

A golden light as thick as a bucket fell, automatically aiming at the person who triggered the alarm mechanism just now, that is, the person who had launched the attack.Within a few seconds, the ordinary junior members who didn't have supernatural powers were like leeks scraped by a sickle, and passed out on the ground struggling.

Kunikida silently stuffed his notebook back into his shirt, Nakajima Atsushi silently retracted his tiger claws into his body, and the saw, crowbar and broom beside him who made a fuss also silently returned to their original positions.

Everyone held their faces and waited silently for the steel giant to sweep across the battlefield, and then prepared to eat.

...it's hard to bear.

It seemed like a battle that had nothing to do with them, as if they didn't deserve a name in it.

For some reason, these members of the detective agency, who should have been happy, thought a little aggrievedly in their minds.

They are aggrieved, and the enemy is even more aggrieved.

The remaining supernatural beings of the port mafia basically couldn't get close to this monster, and even as long as they came into contact with it, their supernatural powers would disappear without a trace. The skin of a giant that makes loud music.

In the gap between the battles, the mafia standing on the ground looked at the giant buildings stretching their hands and feet in the sky, stepping on the dots and dancing ghostly dance steps, all showing beep-feeding expressions.

They couldn't help guessing that if it wasn't for the restriction of body size, this refined building might still be dancing a pole dance in the street.

The main members of the port mafia, who have no advantage in air combat, can only watch the opponent hang over their heads like a bird to tease them, but they have no power to resist.

"You stay here and stand by." Zhong Yuanzhong also stepped on the gravel that he controlled to minimize the gravity, like stepping on an invisible staircase, and flew directly into the air, and soon reached the place where he and the steel giant Flat height.

One person... and the first floor are facing each other at a height of [-] meters, and they are speechless.

After half an hour,

"I know you can hear me! Bastard Dazai!"

Nakahara also raised the cuffs of his suit, revealing the black bracelet on his wrist.

This is Guang Zhouyou's return gift to Chuya, a device that can nullify supernatural powers that exceed the threshold, and only saves the amount for one use.

When Zhong also heard that the leader's attack on co-phagia is a kind of supernatural power, he considered using this bracelet to nullify co-phagocytosis.But he didn't know how to set the above threshold parameters at all, and the bracelets that didn't reach the specified power runaway value showed no signs of being activated at all, so he had to give up.

"You people should feel grace, because you are about to see the gloomy and dirty land."

Osamu Dazai clearly saw on the screen the branch-like flaming lines on Chuya's arms floating outside, like crimson magma burning under his arms.

Under Kunikida's gaze similar to "how do you know how to use it", Dazai connected to the loudspeaker device of the whole building, and the dynamic music was replaced by his voice.

Dazai said calmly, "If I were you, I wouldn't do this."

"Huh? What does this mean... Is this begging me not to turn your little organization into a puddle?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also heard this sentence, and encouraged him to close the door of the supernatural power that was about to open, and pushed the supernatural power that was about to go berserk back to its original place, and the flame-like lines on his face gradually faded away.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who has no ability to fly, stood on the street of Ichimapiragawa, looked up at the confronting person indifferently, and Higuchi who followed him said: "It's too far away, I can't hear what the person above is doing. say what."

"The co-phagia directly connects the lives of the president and Mr. Mori, devouring their vitality, and it will not stop until one of them dies." Dazai's voice from the speaker was very calm.

"I've known about this kind of thing for a long time, do you have any other last words?" Nakahara Nakano's hair fluttered around the hat like orange flames, showing a flamboyant face.

"Although my supernatural ability can nullify all supernatural abilities, I cannot directly expose myself to the virus and allow it to erode, but the supernatural weapon developed by Youjun can."

Zhong Yuanzhong's eyelids twitched.

"The only problem is that we don't know if one side uses this weapon with the ability to disable it, whether it will affect the other side and make the virus on the other side fall into a state of mania, so we must press this weapon at the same time. Activate the button of neutralization, and at the same time end the co-phagia on the president and Mr. Mori."

Chuya stared at the building suspiciously... Guangzhou Youxie's big face on the screen was a little suffocated. "You're not thinking of some trick, are you?"

"As the original partner, you should know me well, and you will definitely not joke around at this time. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in Youjun who gave you such a precious supernatural weapon."

After a while, the looming red and black lines on the thin arms finally faded away.

"Hmph, I'll just trust you for the time being - the supernatural weapon in my hand is not suitable for our boss."

"I can solve this. But there are still things to be done. We need to play this scene of killing each other to the end."

A few ten minutes later, the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia returned to their respective bases with bloody bodies. From the perspective of outsiders, it was a scene of complete losses for both sides.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Only an hour later, shortly after the two sides woke up their respective leaders, a catastrophe that had been brewing for a long time attacked the entire Yokohama with an unstoppable momentum.

The cause, being the member of the group, was able to transplant the senses to the plant by John.His supernatural power Grapes of Wrath can hide in the roots of trees beneath the city, sensing all nearby vibrations and sights.

As long as he activates his ability, the whole city is within his sensing range.Therefore, Francis entrusted him with the important task of finding Guang Zhouyou.

After noticing a few unusual locations, the group quickly assigned troops to let the members investigate separately as stones to ask for directions.

John, who explored the secret base of this abandoned theater by himself, accidentally discovered the location of the real rat of death.

Ten minutes later, Francis in the air fortress received a communication from Lovecraft and learned that John was missing.The blue eyeballs suddenly burst into light, and he immediately told everyone to gather at that location.

——The mouse's lair has been found.

Unfortunately, the plan did not catch up with the changes, and the tactical manual of the combat staff did not predict what was about to happen.

When the huge whale-shaped air fortress floated over the secret base, the detectors have shown that there is only one highlighted location in the entire area, and it is also the only living person inside.

That's... John!Members of their group!

The roots of the trees extending from John's neck changed from thin to thick, and the end was covered in the fluffy soil. The young man who joined the group from the countryside closed his eyes tightly and was in pain, unable to move.

There was silence all around.

All the trees stood still, as if waiting for the storm to come.

Obvious trap.

Francis ordered everyone not to act rashly, closed the hatch and did not plan to land, but just opened the sight used for ground scanning, and soon found a small note scattered around John.

After magnifying several times, the group of them saw the words on the paper.

"The childhood flower of the supernatural weapon that blooms from the abyss will take root in the whole of Yokohama with the roots of the grapes. This is a gift for everyone——Respectfully, the mouse of the dead house."

At this moment, the trees in the streets and alleys of Yokohama began to grow wildly, and the colorless and odorless gas emitted from the buds on the trees enveloped the entire city.The riots on this day were recorded as "Yokohama's Horror Childhood Incident".

At this time, the Armed Detective Agency, which had just ended the battle, was still rejoicing at the awakening of the president.

A tall man in haori with a stern face came out of the hospital bed where the patient was resting. His forehead was still wrapped in gauze and his lips were bloodless. Behind him was Yosano Akiko who looked anxious. Stand up and take charge.

"I have already understood the basic situation. How is the situation of the members now?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

The members subconsciously looked towards the screen, but were startled by the blood-red warning on the screen.The outside has become a purgatory-like scene.

Fortunately, all the windows of the detective agency building, which was still in the state of the steel giant, were closed, and they were not affected by the breath from the trees.

The members took out the computer left by Guang Zhou.

Because of the attack, the entire building was put on alert, and the system on the leftover computer that they could not enter was also opened to them, and the detection report of the external ability automatically popped up on the screen.

The supernatural childhood was collected by Guang Zhou from a foreigner wandering in Yokohama.This supernatural ability will change people's temperament drastically, and maximize the smallest emotions deep in people's hearts.

After a timid and cowardly ordinary person is affected by this supernatural ability, even if it is only a trace of evil thoughts, such as seeing someone withdrawing a large amount of cash when passing by a bank, he will indulge his body to rob and steal, acting like he is usually treated by morality. Things that you feel bound to never do.

And during this process, these people's brains are sober, and they don't realize that there is anything wrong with this transformation.

From now on, society will be in chaos, and even after this supernatural ability is cancelled, this influence will be deeply engraved in the hearts of ordinary people.

Even a crack in the hearts of the people will become the last straw for this society to be overwhelmed.Who can guarantee that there are no distractions in the heart?

After reading the analysis of the supernatural weapon, everyone was in a cold sweat. Kunikida and the others quickly checked the doors and windows before returning to the conference room to gather.

"I'm afraid the Supernatural Secret Service Division can't take care of everyone now."

Atsushi Nakajima looked at everyone's frowning expressions, and couldn't help suggesting, "...Mr. Dazai, don't we still have the weapon that nullifies the ability left by Yuu? If the outside is also with abilities, this weapon It should be manageable."

"The use of this weapon is limited, and it is impossible to use it on a large scale, not to mention that there are not many abilities left in it after being used by the president." Dazai explained.

"Damn! Then we have fallen into a completely passive situation!" Kunikida clenched his fists violently.

"Normal buildings will have vents. This colorless and odorless gas, as long as it flows in a little along the hole, is enough to plunge people into a state of madness and confusion." Ranpo Edogawa analyzed.

"Well, if we hadn't remodeled this building, I'm afraid we would have been caught too."

Fukuzawa just woke up and looked out the window, only to notice that the building where the Armed Detective Agency is located is no longer the original building.The ants-like black dots on the ground are obviously human beings moving on the street. Ordinary people who have entered a state of insanity are obeying their inner desires to smash, loot and burn.

But these are not the point, the point is why the building where the Armed Detective Agency is located is flying in the sky?

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "...?"

At this moment, the mask-like stern expression of the president of the Armed Detective Agency couldn't hold back any longer, and a crack cracked open.

"Although this supernatural weapon is passively triggered by Please Don't Die, even in the event of bloodshed, the lives of these ordinary people can be guaranteed. How many times can such near-death healing be repeated? Time is urgent, we are now as soon as possible Find the culprit, or find Yu to fix this."

"It seems that we need to find someone to cooperate." Fukuzawa Yukichi pondered.

*

Ten minutes later, the Armed Detective Agency team entered the combined fortress wearing full-body isolation protective clothing, and the magnificent and huge giant whale finally showed its true form over Yokohama.

"Your agency should have heard about our intention to come. I wonder if there is any intention of cooperation?" Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency, spoke first.

"At the beginning we made a request for cooperation, but you, President Fukuzawa, personally refused." Francis leaned on the sofa indifferently.

"Today is different from the past, today's matter concerns the whole of Yokohama." Fukuzawa Yukichi said seriously.

"It's your city that was destroyed, and it has nothing to do with me, right? Why should I help you? On the contrary, the chaotic and overwhelmed land of this island country is more convenient for us to organize activities." Francis smiled evilly and raised one eyebrow .

"Eh? Is that so? If my analysis is correct, the guy in your group who likes to wear a shellfish hat and overalls should have been captured by our common enemy, the Rat of the Dead House." ? The root cause of this catastrophe should be closely related to your captured member." Ranpo poked his head out from behind the president and stabbed him horizontally.

"Don't you care about your kidnapped subordinate?"

"That's his own punishment for his incompetence. He followed me to this strange country because he was responsible for the food and clothing of the entire family. It was all his own will. Why should I be responsible for him?" Francis said with cold eyes and arrogance Standing up quickly, he looked at the crowd impatiently.

The members of the group were taken aback when they heard the words, and lowered their heads silently, their eyes dimmed.

"Isn't this remark too hurtful?" Osamu Dazai smiled and swept towards the other members of the group.

"What I'm more curious about is why you gave up hunting the human tiger?"

"Because I don't need it anymore, I still prefer the things that are in front of me to the illusory things." Francis walked to the window and looked down at the chaotic scene on the ground. "That's one of the rules of my success."

Dazai raised his hand to caress his chin, and after a while he woke up from contemplation, and suddenly realized, "I see, it seems that the target of your group should be You Jun, and your members will not be captured for no reason. It looks like our Youjun is at the Mouse of the Dead House right now."

Kunikida was startled: "...what?"

——The key person who can solve this supernatural disturbance and the root cause of the disturbance are all on the side of the rat of the dead?

Osamu Dazai didn't answer, but continued to say to the team leader, "It seems that your human abilities are nothing more than that. Whether it's your subordinates or the target you want, you can be directly taken away."

After being silent for a long time, Francis, who was watching from the window, turned his head suddenly, his eyes burst into a sharp light, and he didn't know where he was poked.

"I can cooperate with you, but I have one condition after cooperation."
