I who want salted fish became the leader

With an unforgettable face and an extremely rare frosty temperament, he held a half-length Japanese-made long knife out of its sheath in his hand, and the toes of his clogs touched the ground in the void, as if every step was where the sound of the wind landed.

No need for an introduction, Chuya immediately realized who Ayatsuji was talking about in the two ceremonies.

It was this mysterious girl who was rushing towards them, her aura around her was so strong that she could kill evil spirits on the spot.

The tentacles of the black mud blocked her. The blade in her hand flashed through the air, as if it could cut through the air of nothingness. The black mud groaned in pain. After being cut off directly, black blood flowed out like a fountain, and the writhing stump fell towards the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she was covered in frost, and she had arrived in front of Zhongye unimpeded.

It was Ryoichi himself who was invited.

The girl named Two Ceremonies looked at Ayatsuji, paused, and then said, "It's time to start, Ayatsuji."

She knew the boy's eyes, they were the twisted magic eyes she had seen on Fujino, that's why she was willing to appear here.

start... what?Was it just warming up before?

Nakaya was stunned for a moment, and then, Ayatsuji, who was in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes had already turned iridescent. After the two rituals finished speaking, black bubbles suddenly appeared in the air The same unknown, Ayatsuji said coldly: "This is the first time I lit myself as a firework."

"This is also the first time I have participated in this kind of thing." The cave king said, "You are a very talented magician."

As a heroic spirit, of course he can feel things that he can't even notice, because the magic power in the air suddenly becomes thicker and thicker, and Ayatsuji is detonating himself as an energy source, trying to make those who should not be supplied The magic factor of the black mud returned to where it should go.

Just like turning cold water into boiling water needs to be heated to [-] degrees Celsius, the water vapor will evaporate. In the same way, since Ayatsuji is the core point of the black mud puja, as long as he loses all his magic power, the black mud will naturally disappear. Will return to the original state, so that everything is over, whether it is a singularity or some other abnormality.

Of course... Ayatsuji will die too.

But this is exactly the purpose of the two ceremonies appearing here.

"Straight to death," said the two ceremonies coldly, a dazzling colorful spiral pattern appeared in her pupils, "magic eyes."

Everything has a dead line and a dead point, whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, or... the illusory conceptual cause and effect and connection, and what the magic eye of death can do is to see its dead line, and use the hand The sharp blade cut through that gap, ending everything completely, and neither the past nor the future can escape its attack.

The two ceremonies can see the dead line of nothingness connecting the magic power and him at the moment when Ayatsuji released all the magic power.

As well as the unbelievable root and the link of Ayatsuji, she suddenly realized deeply that in time, Ayatsuji will become a top magic eye holder, and even have a chance to surpass Asakami Fujino, who was fighting with her at that time, the corner of her mouth is rare The ground showed a little curvature.

Directly cut off the dead line between the magic power of the explosion and Ayatsuji.

No...but not only that, her jewel-level magic eyes could see a third line appear, and the extra one was... the link between Beast and Ayatsuji.It was precisely because of the moment when Ayatsuji's magical power exploded, the supposedly invincible and non-existent beast also had a dead line.

Tentacles of black mud struggled to appear between her and the dead line, clumsily trying to cover its dead spot.

"You bastard, don't stand in front of me!"

Along with the indifferent voice of the two rituals, there was the sound of slashing the sword. She directly cut off the tentacles again, and the figure rushed in front of Ayatsuji. Slashed at a tricky angle, slashing towards the dead line in the void!

"Tear--"

The screams came from the air, and the figure of Hei Ni was shrinking continuously, and the originally huge shadow that could cover the sky began to shrink, just like the waves leaving the beach after ebb tide, quickly returning to its original size , as if the flowers that had been put into the freezer were withering and dying at a rapid rate visible to the naked eye.

The blue sky finally showed its original appearance, and the black mud continued to shrink, returning to the appearance before losing the supply of Ayatsuji's magic power.

"You actually betrayed me, Ayatsuji...!" Its voice of hatred resounded in the sky, "I will not let you leave me!!"

If it wasn't because Ayatsuji was its heart, and stabbing a knife in the back made him lose his mana supply, it would never have been defeated by the mere death-death demon eyes...

Not reconciled, not willing to fail such a long-term layout for such a reason.

Since the links of magic power were cut off together, the rich magic power factor was floating in the air, like prey waiting to be preyed, and the black mud knew that this was its last chance to grow stronger. Tsuji threw out the huge magical power in his body...

However, just before it was about to absorb the accumulated magic power, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in the air.

It was the heroic spirit of the Rider job that shouldn't exist here—the plague.

He had been hiding in the air for a long time, quietly waiting for Ayatsuji's order. He acted on instinct just like a fish living in water, and preyed on all the scattered magic factors before the black mud. The idea of ​​​​cutting off completely, however, this is far from the end.

In the sight of the black mud, the plague turned around and moved towards it at a high speed, just like it devoured him at the beginning, and rushed towards its position.

And this was the last picture it saw.

……

……

"Is Ayatsuji okay?" came the voice of Ranpo.

Ayatsuji could feel a hand on his hair, and he was moving beneath him, and the sunlight was a little harsh, making his slender eyelashes tremble.

He had never felt so relaxed, like waking up from a nightmare.

"This is the tenth time you've asked this, and it's all boring." Osamu Dazai said wearily, turning his head to look at Ayatsuji, "Nothing will happen, didn't that Fujimaru Tachika say it? He will faint only when he is exhausted, and he will wake up when he has absorbed enough magic power from the root."

"You don't need to answer Ranpo-sama." Ranpo puffed up his cheeks.

Chuya said irritably, "Can you please stop arguing... Wait, his eyelashes moved, Ayatsuji, are you awake?"

His voice changed suddenly, and he looked over nervously: "Is there anything wrong? How do you feel now?"

Realizing that he had been spotted, Ayatsuji had no choice but to open his eyes, only to find that he was lying on someone's shoulders, who was walking on the road with his back on his back, with a faint scent coming from the tip of his nose, he straightened up slightly, Lan Tang turned his back and paused: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ayatsuji said, "Is the matter resolved?"

Ranbu came over first, and said as if asking for credit: "Yes! Ayatsuji, you don't have to worry about being entangled anymore."

Ayatsuji smiled at him, and Ranbu immediately felt that he would not feel any fatigue even if he had to deal with [-] more cases now, so he also returned a smiling face, feeling the satisfaction and happiness he had never had before.

"Would you mind telling me the whole story, Dazai?"

"Excuse me, can I refuse." Osamu Dazai turned his head and said resistingly.

"If you want to go back and write a report with tens of thousands of words, I have no objection."

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai was unmoved, but Zhong couldn't stand anymore, he took a step forward and grabbed Dazai's shoulder, and said in a threatening tone: "Don't think that I don't know the reason why you are so confident, anyway. Can you throw the report to me sometime?! Impossible, tell me now!"

"Huh."

Zhong was also completely disgusted: "What kind of strange voice is that?"

"Dazai." Ayatsuji said.

"Okay, okay." Osamu Dazai let go of the hand that grabbed his shoulder in a gesture, and then said, "You went back in time, and then I tricked Dostoevsky with the book as a reward, letting him Help me to the two ceremonies, and you already know what happened next."

"Book?"

However, Ayatsuji did not think that a fake book would fool Dostoevsky.

"Don't worry, although he and Gogol have returned to Russia now, when he finds out, he will come back and continue working in Hong Kong."

Speaking of this, Osamu Dazai almost burst into tears with laughter: "Do you remember when we first met, Mr. Mori made a fake leader's search permit? I think it's very clumsy, but it has fooled everyone in the world. Enough for many people."

To be honest, Ayatsuji was deceived at the time, and Mori Ogai's method of false testimony was really top-notch.

"Then Ranbu and I went to Butei to find Mr. Mori and asked him to help make a fake book. Of course, we are not that stupid. I tore off a finger-sized piece of paper from the real book. Mori Sir grafted them together."

He couldn't forget the look of Fukuzawa Yukichi frowning at the side, this scene was so funny.

Then, in order to ensure the authenticity of the book, Osamu Dazai wrote big characters on both the front and back of the real book in front of Dostoevsky, demonstrating to him how amazing the so-called book is, and then the deal was taken for granted. It's a deal.

Even if Dostoevsky knows the truth later, he will realize that books did exist in Yokohama. In order to find the real book, he will definitely return to Yokohama, and it will be Ayatsuji's turn to play , he must be able to think of a new way to keep him for a while, and so on.

Fei Jia is a valuable cadre. Not to mention high efficiency, he doesn't need to be paid, and when he is away, he is on business. There is no more worry-free employee.

Knowing what he meant, Ayatsuji couldn't help but smile on Rantang's back.

"I'm going to stay in Yokohama and write poetry here." Lan Tang lifted him up, and then said in a relaxed tone, "Having witnessed all this with his own eyes, Mr. Hugo has agreed to my request. Verlaine took it away, and the World War of Supernatural Powers is no accident, and the seven traitors will end up to solve all this."

"Ellen Poe has already brought this news back. I don't think even if it is a combination, they will not want to act rashly."

"Stay in Yokohama? I..."

After Ayatsuji's words fell, everyone's eyes fell on him, and the atmosphere suddenly froze, as if they were holding their breath and waiting for his reaction.

It was only then that he realized that his attitude had not been well concealed all along. They chatted so off topic precisely to avoid this moment. They both knew what might happen, but they were waiting for Ayatsuji to say it himself. .

Ayatsuji's voice paused, and he felt his heart tremble.

"It's a good thing that I'm here too." He said lightly, "After all, I'm the leader of Hong Kong gangsters, and you, Lan Tang, are my relatives."

As his words fell, the atmosphere finally became really relaxed, because Ayatsuji gave his promise.

"Boss." Zhong Ye said tentatively.

Ayatsuji didn't refute, but just said "hmm", which made Chuya smile.Afterwards, Ayatsuji felt that something in his pocket had been knocking against him, so he put his fingers into the pocket, and even took out a piece of paper that was stuffed in silently from the cloak. note.

He frowned and opened the note directly.

It is still a familiar message spliced ​​from words cut out of newspapers. The truth is self-evident which man wrote it.

[You have won this game, but little detective, the cat-and-mouse game between you and me will never end. 】

【Kyogoku Natsuhiko】

But this time, the criminal left his name.

Ayatsuji finished reading the note without changing his expression, crumpled it up, and put it back in his cloak pocket.

Isn't it the end... Well, he will definitely kill this man with his own hands.

Ayatsuji can feel that the supernatural ability [accidental death] still exists in his body, which is a kind of intuition of a homicide detective, but the strange thing is, staying by this group of people and experiencing everything, he finally no longer feels It's a disgusting and repulsive ability.

If... he can really use this superpower to protect the city he wants to protect, deter the enemies who dare to invade Hong Kong and black, and lead the group of people around him to the future he wants, making him withdrawn and unable to treat anyone The [accidental death] that delivered sincerity and trust seems to have other value so far.

Ayatsuji didn't need any more immature evasions.

The so-called salty fish, the so-called indifference... It was only at the moment when he fell that he truly understood that what he had been afraid of was himself. He had never accepted himself, so he wanted to combine [accidental death] and I detached myself, thinking it was dragging me down all this time, but it was the opposite.

And Ayatsuji finally took the first step, learning to trust and rely on others. This is his 15-year-late growth.

"Plague." Ayatsuji said abruptly, "How is your side?"

The voice of the heroic spirit emerged in his mind, it never left, even after the singularity ended: 【Master, the beast is sleeping. 】

Maybe one day, Beast will still emerge from his body, but Ayatsuji is no longer afraid, because he will no longer be tempted by it.

At the end of the road, Odasaku was standing outside the familiar shop. When he saw the group of them appearing, there was no unexpected reaction, but Ango Sakaguchi, who was standing beside him, was drinking mineral water. He almost spit out water and coughed again and again. It took several sounds to slow down.

He took a few steps back, trying to distance himself from a certain little devil, but he almost tripped over a passing three-colored cat.

"Dazai, didn't you say that the three of us have a dinner date?! Ayatsuji, no, why is the leader here?! Of course, I don't mean that I don't want you to come, Ayatsuji, it's just that you suddenly appeared like this. It's scary, isn't it..."

"It's too late to eat when we go back now." Oda Saku said, "Why don't I treat everyone to curry."

Osamu Dazai began to play tricks: "No, just please Anwu."

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

Ango Sakaguchi: "Did I do something wrong recently?"

"Not now, Ango." Ayatsuji poked his head out from behind Rantang, and said coldly, "But if we don't invite us to eat curry, then it won't be certain."

"..."

This undercover life is really impossible.

The author has something to say:

After the end, I should write about why Ayatsuji and Ranpo fall in love and a little love daily, and what happened between Osamu Dazai and Ayatsuji during the first retrospective (actually, I have confessed, but the timeline of the text is a coward When going back for the second time, I chose not to confess my love, so this should be Zai’s special episode), as well as the timeline of Atsushi Nakajima’s appearance and Akutagawa’s Hong Kong gangster career under Ayatsuji (may be written).

If there is anything Daga wants to see, please tell me, and I will consider writing it.

Love you all, no one thought that I, who originally planned to write 20 words, would write 30+ words, covering my face.
