Canary of the gods

The explosion alarmed the entire crew.

"what happened?!"

Everyone looked towards the place where the voice came from, which was the interior of the hotel, the stairs leading to the second floor.

The director's assistant who was going to get the key to the storage room on the first floor was a step slower, and rushed over with the staff carrying the stretcher, and pushed through the crowd to the front, "What's going on? What's going on?"

The crew members standing in front opened their mouths and were speechless for a long while.

The director's assistant didn't expect him to answer, and looked towards the accident center by himself.

The entire storage room, including the stairs leading to the second floor, were blown up, and the door swayed from the violent impact, as if it could fall from the door frame if only one more external force was applied.

Through the wide open door of the storage room, everyone can see the mess in the room at a glance.

The windows were broken, the walls were pitted, wood chips, glass, parts, stones of various sizes, etc. were scattered everywhere, and some broken bricks rolled down from the dark wall.

The cargo racks, together with the chandeliers and slates that fell from the ceiling, fell in one piece in a mess.

When the director's assistant saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted into the room: "Mr. Dazai? And Ms. Xie Ye? How are you doing?!"

There was no response from inside.

The collapsed cargo racks overlapped in a chaotic manner, with extremely small gaps. People who are now most likely to be trapped inside cannot see even a single corner of their clothes.

The staff behind him talked a lot.

"It looks like this, shouldn't it be..."

"yes……"

The director's assistant frowned, turned around and stopped the man behind him, "Go check the situation on the second floor, where's the director?"

"The director went outside and called an ambulance and called the police."

"yes……"

There was something strange in his eyes, his brows were tightly frowned, and he retreated from the place where the accident happened.

As soon as he walked to the lobby on the first floor, he saw the worried director Ishiuchi running over with a phone in his hand, and asked eagerly, "I heard that it was Dazai-san and the others who fell into the storage room just now...?"

The assistant director nodded silently.

Director Shi Nei was even more worried, "What should I do, I obviously asked someone to help, but in the end..."

The director's assistant persuaded: "You didn't know that this kind of thing would happen. Everyone is in a panic now. It's better to arrange the crew first and wait for the police and ambulance to come!"

Director Ishiuchi managed to pull himself together, "You're right."

As soon as he walked a few steps towards the place where the crowd gathered, he suddenly thought of something, and said to himself: "By the way, I have to tell the people from the Armed Detective Agency about this, I almost forgot about it... ..."

The director's assistant took over the job, "Leave this matter to me, you can arrange the other crew's affairs first! Everyone is waiting for you to arrange."

Director Ishiuchi nodded, trotted away.

The director's assistant looked at his leaving back with a vague expression.

On the other side, Armed Detective Agency.

"Huh? Kunikida-san and the others received a commission?"

Tanizaki Junichiro tilted his head, helped to hold the phone with his shoulder, and rummaged through the entrusted documents with both hands free.

"Ah, I found it, wait a minute."

He browsed through ten lines at a glance, and soon found the key words.

"Really..." Junichiro Tanizaki kicked his feet, and the office chair led him to another desk.He turned on the computer that was on standby, and tapped the keyboard quickly with his ten fingers.

"It's exactly what you said, Dazai-san."

That's right, the person talking to him now is Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai let out a "huh", not feeling too surprised, "Is that so, that's it. By the way, let me tell Kunikida-kun that we already have a clue here."

Tanizaki Junichiro was puzzled: "Huh? The clue refers to..."

Osamu Dazai didn't reveal too much, just said: "There will be something delivered to the agency later, you can contact Kunikida-kun and ask him to test it and the result should be out."

Tanizaki Junichiro was confused when he heard it, he didn't participate in these two commissions, so it's okay if he doesn't understand.But didn't Mr. Dazai act alone? "We" means again...

Just as he was wondering, suddenly there was a crisp sound of glass breaking not far behind him. It seemed that something had smashed through the window, and along with the shards of glass, it fell to the ground with a splash.

Tanizaki Junichiro subconsciously thought someone was sneaking him, so he stood up from his office chair, ready to activate his supernatural power at any time.

But when he looked around, he didn't find any enemies, and the thing that broke the glass and fell into the office of the detective agency just now...was a black box?

"what happened?"

Hearing the movement outside, the clerks working in the detective agency were a little flustered. They couldn't help but secretly opened a crack in the door, and found that there seemed to be no danger outside, so they opened the door.

Junichiro Tanizaki, who was standing in the outer office, was on the phone, staring at the floor with a serious expression—as if there was something interesting there—and behind him was the broken glass window.

Because he was on the phone, the clerks didn't interrupt him hastily, they just listened quietly, and waited for him to finish the call before asking what was going on.

But Tanizaki Junichiro himself didn't know what was going on.

He thought he was under attack. The black box contained a bomb or a poisonous gas that would spread once it was opened—this was not the first time that the Armed Detective Agency had encountered such a thing.

Osamu Dazai on the other side of the phone also heard the movement, "Oh? Has the item been delivered yet? It's really convenient and quick, thank you Xiu-kun~"

The latter sentence seemed to be addressed to the person next to him.

Then Tanizaki Junichiro heard a slightly distant, slightly soft "hum".

Junichiro Tanizaki: ...Wait a minute, Mr. Dazai?Is this what you said you were going to send to the detective agency later? ?

He thought it would be delivered by someone, such as a courier or something, but he didn't expect that this way of delivering things would be so violent, directly "airdropping" it!

Tanizaki Junichiro looked at the black box that fell on the ground among the broken glass, and said uncertainly: "That...Mr. Dazai? What you said..."

Osamu Dazai: "Oh, it's a dark box, have you seen it?"

Tanizaki Junichiro: "Yes."

Osamu Dazai: "That's the thing, you just hand him over to Kunikida-kun, let him find someone to test the contents, and then he will know what to do."

Tanizaki Junichiro picked up the black box with confidence, but...

"But Mr. Dazai, how do you open this box?" He did find the lock, but he didn't have the key!

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot...Xiu Jun, can you help me?"

"You are so annoying! Why did you go early!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, didn't you forget..."

Hearing this conversation, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help being curious about the "Xiu-kun" that Osamu Dazai said.

Thinking about it, suddenly there was a piercing sound from the back of his head, Junichiro Tanizaki shivered, subconsciously shrunk his neck and squatted down.

"Whoosh!"

The thing shot out from behind the broken glass window like a dart, just brushed Tanizaki Junichiro's scalp, and went straight to the desk, making a "dumb" sound.

"ah!"

The clerks exclaimed in shock and closed the door with a "bang".

Tanizaki Junichiro came back to his senses, feeling as if the thing was stuck in his heart.He couldn't help touching his somewhat cold scalp, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly...

He sneaked a peek and found that it was a very plain key, probably used to open the box in his hand.

The key was also delivered, but Junichiro Tanizaki, who was holding the box, was hesitant to show his head, for fear that another unknown object would be violently thrown in from the broken glass window in the next second.

He tremblingly asked Osamu Dazai on the other side of the phone: "Mr. Dazai...there won't be any more 'send' over, right?"

"Well, no more." Osamu Dazai finished speaking in a relaxed tone, and then said to the "Xiu-kun" next to him: "You seem to scare the juniors of our club... Hey! I still have injuries..."

"Begging for help is still chattering, you are the only one who has too many things!"

Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help wiping his sweat, "Um...Mr. Dazai, if it's okay..."

"Oh, that's it, remember to give the things to Kunikida-kun~"

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Tanizaki Junichiro got up, ready to get the key tied on the wooden desk.

But after he got closer, he realized that the key was inserted so deep that the end was only less than a finger wide, and he couldn't even apply force!

How can this be pulled out?

Tanizaki Junichiro tried his best, but he couldn't pull out the key by all means.He was worried, and later thought that the box would be handed over to Kunikida Doppo anyway, so he might as well wait for the other party to come back before solving this problem.

But after he talked with Kunikida Doppo on the phone, the other party couldn't get away, so he designated a place for him to send his things there.

Tanizaki Junichiro glanced at the key and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Kenji Miyazawa, a rookie who had just joined the company for less than a month, had just completed the task of collecting intelligence and came back.

Tanizaki Junichiro's eyes lit up, "Ah! Kenji, you came just in time!"

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"The key card is stuck on the table and can't be pulled out." Tanizaki Junichiro pointed to the key on the table, looked at him as if he was looking for a savior, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Okay, you're welcome~" Kenji Miyazawa walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand...to pick it up, and pulled out the key like a piece of paper, "Here, Mr. Tanizaki."

Tanizaki Junichiro: "Thank you!"

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Yokohama.

In the corner of the storage room that was neglected by everyone, a priest put a bandage on the broken head of Dazai Osamu.

As for why he applied medicine for Dazai, one is because Dazai’s right arm is broken and he can’t use his strength, and the other is because... the injury was caused by him.

When the explosion just happened, Osamu Dazai subconsciously threw a temple down.But it was completely superfluous for him, because once Osamu Dazai met a temple cultivator, Disqualification in the World would work, and the latter's supernatural power would be useless.

In the nick of time, a temple cultivator didn't care about controlling his strength, and kicked Osamu Dazai to the corner of the wall with a flying kick, far away from him, and then he activated his supernatural power to block all the impact of the explosion.

"You did it on purpose, bastard, you know my supernatural ability, but you don't care about me, but nothing happens..." A temple repair muttered, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Osamu Dazai raised his uninjured hand and said helplessly: "Conditional reflex, reflex, don't do this again next time, okay?"

A priest glared at him: "Do you still want to have a next time?!"

Osamu Dazai immediately covered his forehead: "Oh, I have a headache!"

"..."

After bandaging, Osamu Dazai was about to support the wall and stand up, but a temple monk took his arm first and helped him stand up.

Osamu Dazai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said briskly: "Then, now it's time for us to catch the troublesome 'ghost'."
