I who want salted fish became the leader

[Ming Piaoqiu Ren has joined Butei...you got this part of the plot offset by 4%]

On the way, Heini suddenly said in Ayatsuji's ear.

It is like a long python, exuding a dark aura, encircling Ayatsuji's shoulders, surrounding him, as if it will gather its strength in the next moment, and directly strangle the neck of this fragile human in front of it To achieve the method of punishing wizards in the Middle Ages.

Ayatsuji could feel that it was growing continuously, and the fog almost covered his eyes, and his eyes darkened.

[Story offset 75%]

"More than that," his voice was a little nasal, and he simply buried his whole face in the blanket that Ranbu had prepared for him, "Shouldn't you give me 5% more?"

The voice was deliberately low, as if he was whispering. Except for non-living things like black mud, no one could keenly capture what he said.

[…] Hei Ni asked, [Why? 】

Ayatsuji was ambiguous, lowered his voice, with a hint of sarcasm: "Because Butei's role after this is very important, and as the detective who exists at the core, isn't he worth giving the plot offset? You The 4% that was given to me came as a fugitive from the well, and now he's not."

"The 5% I asked for was what he deserved as a detective of Butei."

Heini was stunned for a moment, it never expected that Ayatsuji had learned to bargain... However, perhaps because he saw a loophole in the negotiation, Heini is not actually a task issuer, but a reminder of the offset , the judgment it makes is based on its own judgment about the future.

This is evident in the relationship between the two.

Because Hei Ni doesn’t know why Ayatsuji did this at all. Whether it’s Zhongya joining Hong Kong Hei as usual, or the current Mingpiaoqiuren, it’s more like looking for differences in the known future, so the level of staying Obviously, Ayatsuji has already seen through it.

"So you don't even know where the plot will shift." Ayatsuji's tone was empty, but revealed a calmness that he shouldn't have at his age, "The calculation method is also very simple, because there is no One is one, don't you know the butterfly effect?"

The outbreak of a tornado is likely to be nothing more than the flapping of the wings of a small butterfly.

And Ayatsuji is that butterfly.

"Plot offset... tsk, this offset has already started since I left the Ability Secret Service Division, so the easiest way to crack it is to wait quietly for the tides and moons of this world to be as natural as I did before. There have been drastic changes, all of this, are you deliberately misleading me?"

Throwing out the bait of plot offset and issuing plausible tasks is to speed up this process.

Ayatsuji is very clear, Hei Ni knows what this world should be like, because when it appeared, it stuffed Ayatsuji-related memories into his mind, and he got part of his future, thus prompting He made the move to leave.

The black mud was silent and silent.

And Ayatsuji waited patiently for it to speak, until a moment later, it whispered: [Sure enough, you discovered it. 】

It’s no wonder that before the leader of the previous generation sought death, Ayatsuji was only a temporary worker in the corpse collection team in Hong Kong and Hei. He was always ready to save enough money to go to China or Russia. Put on the sling.

But since the anomaly has been discovered a long time ago...

Why did Ayatsuji still follow the mission?

"Because it's fun."

【…】

"Of course it's impossible." Ayatsuji's voice turned cold, and he pulled up the quilt to completely cover the lower half of his face, "Because the prize is real, you can indeed save [accidental death] from I'll take it here."

[You are right. ] Hei Ni had to admit, [If it counts as 80%, would you be satisfied? 】

"This can only be regarded as you are trying to please me."

[Because I can't leave you, if you die, I will disappear completely. 】Hei Ni delivered the truth,【I appeared because of you, we should be counted as a whole, although I can't tell you why at this time, but you...you will know soon. 】

"..."

Ayatsuji once read a story that a time traveler wanted to change the timeline to revive his dead wife. After various time corrections, his wife finally avoided the car accident. When embracing his lover, he was shocked to find that the person his wife married was not him.

Therefore, time and space cannot actually be changed. If there is a change due to Ayatsuji’s actions, it should have no effect on the main time and space. There is only one explanation. His choice has a fork in the road, and Ayatsuji created a deviation. A parallel universe to the original world.

If something happens to him, then everything in another time and space will live well, so Ayatsuji only needs to do his best to maintain the balance, not just passing by, but just having fun while suffering, so as not to let his timeline collapse.

Sensing his movement of leaning against him, the person sitting next to him paused, awkwardly stretched out his hand to tuck the blanket on Ayatsuji's exposed arm, and then stretched out his hand to surround his figure, caught by Ayatsuji Tsuji pillowed his thigh and didn't complain, on the contrary, he felt very satisfied.

Is this feeling of being dependent on others not bad... For a long time, Luanbu has always been the one to be accommodated by others, because this world is the jungle of the jungle, and when you show enough strength, others will unconsciously Give in to your quirks and unusualness.

Ranpo seldom considered other people's feelings, but when he turned around and hugged Ayatsuji, he realized that this dedication was actually a kind of happiness that he had never thought of. He became the kind that his parents wanted him to be. For someone who is responsible, the president must be proud of him.

Thinking of this, Ranpo couldn't help stretching out his hand, and lightly stroked Ayatsuji's protruding blond hair.

"Ayatsuji, what are you talking about?" he asked curiously.

Maybe domestication does exist, but it is a two-way process, and it is also the foundation of the establishment of fetters. He is very happy that he has such a choice. Although the opponent is more difficult than the past chaos, it does not matter, he will Made him happy.

"It's nothing." Ayatsuji said lightly, "I'm just thinking about the parallel world. Maybe in another world, we don't know each other at all."

Although they are both detectives who cause headaches for prisoners, if Ayatsuji does not leave the Supernatural Special Affairs Section, he and Ranpo will never meet each other, just like two parallel lines that have nothing to do with each other. There will be more associations, after all, they are strangers.

Ayatsuji doesn't know what kind of monster he will become when he grows up by accepting sex all the time, but he can fully guess what Ranpo will look like when he grows up in Butei. He will not change his willful personality, because all the people around him People will accommodate his unreasonable troubles because of his genius mind.

And Ayatsuji will not stop specifically for Ranpo, so the Ranpo next to him is the special one in all parallel universes.

"What? Ayatsuji started again." Ranpo puffed up his cheeks and said, he thought for a while before saying, "No, we always have the possibility of cooperation. After all, Japan is so small, how could the two detectives not meet in the end?" meet, so you're talking nonsense."

"..."

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai, who was sitting in the co-pilot, glanced at them, threw a pillow over without warning, and hit the back of the back seat, interrupting the conversation.

"I'm starting to feel unwell." Osamu Dazai said displeased, and turned back to look at the front of the car, "So, why did this guy come with us?"

He glanced at someone who was driving, and looked away impatiently.

Because this is the intelligence dealer who blocked him both ways some time ago—Orihara Rinya. Although this guy found the whereabouts of Ayatsuji and should have cleared up the dispute, he came here from Ikebukuro and planned with them again. Go to Yokohama.

"This is the reward." Orihara Lin also smiled, speaking in a rather embarrassing tone, "And if I don't come to drive, how about you?"

"It's enough to give you money."

"Don't talk about these copper-smelling topics, the famous Dazai Osamu, you know very well what is the most interesting thing for an information dealer." Orihara Lin also stretched out a hand and waved it in the air, not caring about himself at all is driving, "exciting cases of course, interesting intel and..."

Having said that, he no longer elaborated, but left this part blank, showing a very meaningful expression.

"As for me, I will part ways with you in Yokohama. After all, I am very interested in the 'magician' Kyogoku Natsuhiko." Orihara Rin said indifferently, "I heard that he caused a lot of trouble in Yokohama. Wuzhen is in charge, oh, I also know that Ming Piaoqiu is there."

Hearing this, Ayatsuji opened his eyes after closing his eyes.

He almost forgot that Ming Piaoqiu was also a fugitive, but fortunately, it was not difficult to solve the problem over there, all he needed was a name.

"I have a commission here, do you accept it?" He said.

Orihara Rinya: "I need to know what it is before making a decision."

"Try to find a way for Cangcha to find out that Ming Piaoqiuren has joined Butei, and Hong Kong gangsters are also recruiting him. Because of 'Well', Ayatsuji pedestrians are very interested in him."

Orihara Rin can also completely imagine the astonished expressions of the interesting humans he has been observing, which made his boring heart suddenly come alive, and he smiled: "If it is this, I can accept it." Down."

After hearing a satisfactory answer, Ayatsuji pulled up the blanket again and buried himself in it.

"I'm sleepy." He said calmly, "Call me when you arrive."

Before waiting for an answer, Ayatsuji had already fallen into a drowsy sleep. Even Ranbu was surprised by his recent lethargy. He didn't know why Ayatsuji was so sleepy. Unfortunately, he couldn't get out of Ayatsuji's body. I got the message, so I can only give up temporarily.

But this kind of strangeness will not let them ignore it.

……

……

"You're awake." Lan Tang's voice said.

Ayatsuji opened his eyes, and saw that he was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking at him with gentle eyes, while combing his messy hair scattered on both sides of his cheeks with his fingers, and then put his hands on Ayatsuji on his forehead, as if testing his current temperature.

Ayatsuji stretched out his hand, grabbed Rantang's wrist, pulled his hand away, and stopped the movement.

"I'm fine." He said, realizing that he had changed into fresh clothes at some point.

But Dazai Osamu and Ranpo had disappeared, and Saki Naruto was taken out of his coat pocket and placed on the side of the quilt.

Ayatsuji has digested this huge magic power, which is enough to support his supply to the plague.

"Unexpectedly...the fever has really subsided." Hearing this, Lan Tang was a little surprised, withdrew his hand, and hesitated, "Is it because of the magician?"

His eyes moved to the bedside table involuntarily. There was a crow with black fog and red eyes standing there. What was creepy was that it didn't even blink its eyes when Ayatsuji was carried here and fell asleep until he woke up. For a moment, staying by Ayatsuji's side was like a dead stuffed knight.

Only when Rantang touched Ayatsuji, it would tilt its head and watch all of Rantang's movements, as if it was supervising his behavior.

It's even more telling that this isn't a ghost, but some kind of defender.

The only truth that Lan Tang could guess was that this crow was a heroic spirit summoned by Ayatsuji with a holy relic, but it was completely different from what he had expected. It was covered with mildew and gave him an extremely ominous feeling.

No matter how you look at it, I don't think it has a similarity with Ayatsuji... except for the part of death.

"Jiujiu." Ayatsuji greeted him.

The dead crow quickly spread its wings and landed on the pillow of Ayatsuji's blond hair, and he stroked the soft feather-covered back with one finger.

"He is..." Lan Tang really couldn't guess which heroic spirit it was, so he had to ask Ayatsuji directly.

"plague."

Lan Tang was stunned: "What?" Plague?

"One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the plague." Ayatsuji explained patiently, his voice became a little hoarse after the fever subsided, his fingers rested on the feathers, and he looked sideways at the crow on the pillow, "This is what I brought back to solve The deadly weapon of the World War of Supernatural Powers."

It once turned into the Black Death and claimed tens of millions of lives, and then turned into Spanish flu, smallpox, and even Ebola virus. In the history of mankind, it played the role of many executioners, symbolizing the black Apocalypse of Reaper and Annihilation.

Ayatsuji let it corrode the magic factor in the air over Tokyo, and absorbed the magic power drained from the leylines of the subspecies Holy Grail War. At the same time, he searched for the magician who tried to summon the heroic spirit and succeeded. Of course, the latter got nothing, but the former was completely successful. .

He's sure there won't be a so-called subspecies Holy Grail War.

"Ayatsuji," Lan Tang's voice trembled, his expression became extremely complicated, "What do you want...to use it for?"

There is no need for Ayatsuji to explain the numerical panel of the plague. He only needs to hear the name of this heroic spirit, and he feels as if the tip of his nose smells the smell of rotting corpses, or hears the painful screams of being burned.

The legend of the incarnation of a crow in front of him has claimed so many lives.

This is an extremely dangerous Heroic Spirit, but it is only the master who obeys. If its master wants to destroy the world, no one can stop it... Although Lantang trusts Ayatsuji's self-control, he has already guessed wrong I wondered what Ayatsuji wanted to do many times.

He's just not sure, because humans are naturally afraid of the unknown.

"The plague tells me that it can manipulate the body, body and mind of the infected, right?"

The crow lightly pecked Ayatsuji's finger. It is a heroic spirit who is extremely loyal to the master, although its chaotic brain cannot understand what is happening now, nor why it exists in this world, because the legend bestows on it only " "Death" feature, it just does it without any position, absolutely fair.

"so……"

"I'm threatening to infect Verlaine." Ayatsuji said in a flat tone that made people tremble, "If he doesn't want to die in pain, you'd better contact Hugo for me. I want to see the leader of the seven traitors. Because I have an absolutely outrageous plan to end the World War of Psionics."

In fact, Ayatsuji's own supernatural ability is a threat to Verlaine, but it is a pity that Ayatsuji has "immediate death". The reason why Verlaine is confident is that he knows that Ayatsuji cannot directly launch [accidental death] on him, otherwise everything will happen. The connection to the French side was broken.

But the plague is different. What it brings is "delayed, latent, and finally explosive" death. Even in the end, Ayatsuji may still not directly kill him, but as the latency of the plague infection prolongs, the body The torture and pain are unimaginable to ordinary people, and may even cause lifelong disability of the parasitized person.

Only in this way can we really put pressure on Verlaine.

"..." Lan Tang opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

"Be ruthless, Lantang, because not everything is as beautiful as poetry." Ayatsuji lifted the quilt, stood up on the carpet, and the crow landed on his finger, "In this world , if you can’t learn to cut the mess with a sharp knife, you can only make your life worse and worse, and you can’t get rid of it.”

"And this game between me and Kyogoku Natsuhiko, it's time to end."

Now that the opponent lost, Ayatsuji would be the winner and ask him to leave his life.

This criminal genius, also known as the "magician" by Orihara Rin, did disrupt Yokohama with the leading war, but Ayatsuji is destined to win, because the whole world is not only Japan, but also an organization of Hong Kong gangsters , and it is precisely with so many countries and forces that they check each other and maintain the balance of a region.

This is also the inspiration he got from Natsume Soseki's "Three Moments Concept".

It will also be used in the world supernatural war.

Ayatsuji coughed, walked to the window, pushed open the window, a gust of wind rushed in immediately, blowing his blond hair to the right, he pushed his fingers away and pinned it behind his ear, and Ayatsuji pointed his fingers towards the window Stretching out, the tone said lightly: "Go, help me find that person, okay?"

As his words fell, the crow flapped its feathered wings made of black mist, burst open, turned into a mass of black particles, and quickly disappeared from sight in the wind.

Behind him, Lan Tang asked, "Now, what should we do?"

"Wait." Ayatsuji replied, "Waiting for Verlaine to contact us."

He won't be able to sit still.

"..."

Ayatsuji closed the window, and then turned to look at Lantang. When he woke up just now, he realized that this was Lantang's own room, not his: "Where is Edgar Allan Poe? He should have come out of the book Well, where is he?"

With such a small trick, it is impossible to trap him in the book for too long.

I just don't know where he went now.

"Oh... For his words, he has been writing novels in your room for the past few days. It is said that he got some new inspiration. ", the two of them seemed to hit it off right away... probably discussing co-creation now."

Ayatsuji made up the picture: "..."

This development is not his problem, sorry Dostoyevsky, after all, Gogol is an unrestrained character at all.

Who would have thought that this guy would have struck up a friendship with Edgar Allan Poe?

I hope that when the Russian boy comes back and finds that his partner has a tendency to switch jobs to the group again, he will not feel myocardial infarction... Although Ayatsuji feels that the other party may have already figured this out, it has nothing to do with Ayatsuji. Whether it is Edgar Allan Poe or Osamu Dazai, it is enough to achieve the goal.

only……

Although the plot offset will be completed after solving the Dragon Head War, Ayatsuji does not feel particularly relieved, because the next fate will be completely unknown, and he finds that he is not as easy to abandon as he originally thought down everyone.

Just like his rationality knew that he should not go back to his parents the night he escaped from the Supernatural Secret Service, but he still did so. Ayatsuji is very sober and calm, but smart people often make impulsive mistakes , So he hesitated, standing in Lantang's room, feeling a bit at a loss.

Osamu Dazai, who is extremely world-weary, fond of suicide, and hates bondage, takes over the Hong Kong gangsters. Will he eventually go to destruction?

Ranpo... who is growing slowly and learning to express his feelings, his departure must be a blow.

Nakaya, who is still in a period of confusion in pursuit of a sense of responsibility and the meaning of his own existence, is there any difference between what Ayatsuji does and the group of [sheep].

And Lan Tang, who is sensitive by nature and wants to become a poet...

It would be nice if he could be a little more selfish to hate and irritate himself, but he happened to be somewhere in between.

So Ayatsuji is just an ordinary person who can be emotional, and he can’t really ignore everyone’s goodwill like a cold sculpture. If he can go back to the day when he was taken back to Hong Kong by Osamu Dazai, Ayatsuji might as well just leave , Let Mori Owai take charge of all this.

"Ayatsuji?" Lantang asked tentatively, interrupting his contemplation, "You're in a trance..."

Ayatsuji suddenly came back to his senses, paused, and asked expressionlessly: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, since it's fine now, would you like to go out with me?" Lan Tang smiled at him.

……

Chaldea.

"Strange, so strange." On the other side of the communication, Dr. Roman frowned and said, "Mr. Holmes, are you sure this is true?"

From his perspective, Holmes nodded in acknowledgment of his statement.

"But……"

Something never seen before happened.

Behind Doctor Roman, Da Vinci walked over, and he put his hands on the table and glanced at the data report: "So, we originally judged that an accident occurred in the subspecies Holy Grail War in Tokyo, which led to the formation of the singularity. It was completely wrong. Yes, because all the magic power of the subspecies Holy Grail War has been drained."

This Holy Grail War cannot be launched at all, let alone reach the level of singularity.

"The plague is gone too," Holmes said cautiously.

"Then, the disappearance of this huge magic power together with the destruction knight just means that it has devoured the magic power gathered in the leylines." Da Vinci touched his chin, "the plague should have a master, and if nothing else, it will be us The one you're looking for."

Doctor Roman showed a puzzled expression: "What exactly does its owner want?"

Because the plague has never appeared as a heroic spirit, but since it left on its own, it just confirms what Da Vinci said, it has a master.

"Have you read the Bible?"

"Uh..." Doctor Roman nodded, "I've seen it."

"If you want this monster to reproduce the apocalypse in the Bible, you and I will need a huge amount of magic power beyond our imagination. Perhaps this is why it absorbs the magic power of the subspecies of the Holy Grail War. If... the magic power meets its descending conditions, Perhaps this is the beginning of the complete formation of the singularity."

"So, you mean, it's really going to reproduce the Apocalypse?!"

"It depends on what his master thinks." Da Vinci shrugged and straightened up, "But we can be optimistic, because the supply of magic power is very strict."

Holmes, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "...Where is Lixiang? I need to go back to Yokohama. I have a guess."

Now that Tokyo has lost its value, Holmes realizes that he must return to the port city that strikes him as strange, because since this is the singularity, it is likely to function and circulate in a strange way.

"She has already gone to Yokohama with the Earl." Doctor Roman said, his expression was a bit worried, "If this is the case, I am not sure that she will only go with the Earl, maybe Arthur, Merlin and Karna It can help...let me see, and I will contact you later."

After Holmes nodded, he hung up the communication neatly.

I don't know if it's an illusion... His intuition told him that there was not much time left.

The author has something to say:

Exam made me lose track of time..sorry orz
