Canary of the gods

Disqualification in the world invalidated the psychological hints that were working, and everyone naturally realized how horrifying the appearance of a temple cultivator was.

How on earth did he manage to get off the bus engulfed in flames unscathed?

The crowd was in an uproar, and discussions continued one after another.The crowd may be mixed with the "click" sound of the shutter and the flashing lights, and the noise is endless.

As the person concerned, Temple Xiu Yi didn't care much, anyway, he could clean up the memories, uploaded videos or photos of the onlookers at any time, which was not difficult for him.But the key is...

A temple repair fixedly looked at the hand holding his wrist, his temples throbbed, his mood was extremely irritable, and he couldn't help roaring in his heart:

Ahhh what is this guy talking nonsense about? How could he be a suspect? Besides, why can this guy avoid and eliminate his psychological hints? Bastard, this guy is so dirty, why did he touch him with such dirty hands? So annoying, so annoying, I really want to throw him into the Pacific Ocean for a while...

"Xiu, no matter how angry you are, you can't create garbage for the Pacific Ocean!"

A temple cultivator: ...that's fine.

Sure enough, he shouldn't be going out today? But what about the gallery? But it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to the gallery, anyway, he doesn't need money, so it's better to stay at home, right?

"How can you create value if you don't work? Xiu can't be lazy!"

As soon as the idea of ​​"stay at home and never go out" came to mind, this sentence suddenly struck his head like a bell, and the buzzing echoed in his ears endlessly, causing him a headache.

A temple cultivator: ... Alas!

It's not that Osamu Dazai didn't notice the fiery gaze of a temple priest, but he was worried that if he let go, this guy would use supernatural powers to influence the people around him, entangle him, and then disappear into the crowd of onlookers.It's just being looked at twice, it's not painful, so I don't see it.

After Osamu Dazai made a move, the flames on the bus that seemed to be forever extinguished finally went out.

At this time, the investigators from the government also arrived at the scene. Because the fire chief reported that it might be caused by people with supernatural powers, it was not ordinary city police who came, but investigators from the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

The Supernatural Secret Service Division and the Armed Detective Agency are old acquaintances. After seeing Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu, the lead investigator greeted them and asked naturally, "Why are you here?"

Kunikida Doppo briefly explained that they had received a commission, and the target person was on this bus.It's just that when they arrived, the bus had spontaneously ignited.Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the target person to survive, but since there are still survivors on the bus—referring to Ichijiu who was detained by Osamu Dazai, they intend to investigate to see what is going on, maybe You can also collect some information related to the target person.

He stopped here, and the other party considered that they had an obligation to protect the privacy of the client, so they didn't go into details, and only nodded to show that they understood.

The people were caught by the armed detective agency, but in nature, they are just private superpower companies, so it is the Supernatural Secret Service Division that led the investigation of this incident and interrogated the only survivor, Yi Yijiu.Of course, an armed detective agency can help.

Everyone's goal now is very consistent, that is, to find out what happened to the bus spontaneous combustion incident, so the investigators of the Supernatural Secret Service Section didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Since you are the only survivor of this incident, please cooperate with our investigation."

A temple cultivator did not speak, but looked down at the hand that was still holding on to him.

The investigator followed his line of sight and asked in confusion, "Mr. Dazai, is this...?"

Dazai Osamu said without blushing, "I hit it off with this gentleman immediately, and I want to become good friends with him~"

A temple cultivator: "..." Are you a kid in kindergarten?I believe you ghost!

Investigator: "???" Mr. Dazai, please don't make jokes to hinder the investigation, please?

Kunikida Doppo frowned speechlessly, although he understood why Dazai Osamu didn't let go, but the excuses this guy made were too perfunctory, right?No one will believe it when you hear it!

And... what Kunikida couldn't understand was, why didn't Osamu Dazai tell the truth?Could it be that he has other considerations?

Before Kunikida Doppo could come up with an answer, Jojijiu, the person under investigation, suddenly spoke.

"You have the wrong person."

"?"

Find the wrong person?Who is wrong?Could it be the suspect who caused the bus spontaneous combustion incident?

After a temple repair finished speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he raised his free hand and was about to point somewhere, but was caught by Osamu Dazai, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and then shook it up and down in a very funny way, "Oh, you Do you want to be my friend too?"

A temple cultivator: "..."

investigator:"???"

Kunikida Doppo noticed something from the series of behaviors of his partner, he restrained his eyes from wandering, and asked in a low voice: "Dazai?"

Osamu Dazai didn't change his face, kept his mouth motionless, and mumbled like a mosquito buzzing: "The black car across the road."

"Understood." Kunikida Doppo quickly deciphered the meaning of his partner, unhurriedly opened the handbook, and wrote on it with a pen.

Every time you go back in time, the way the bus is wiped out is not the same.This is because the person who went back in time ruled out the last fatal factor in advance, but unexpectedly, the bus was completely wiped out in another, unpredictable way.

After going back in time for the first time, that person must first deal with the reason why the bus passengers were wiped out for the first time—the superhuman who caused the bus to spontaneously ignite.Then the wheels of the bus slipped, and after a series of car accidents, it crashed into the shopping mall. The fuel tank was ignited and exploded. This was the second unexpected total destruction.

After the second time backtracking, that person needs to rule out two causes of death one after the other: [-]. The person with supernatural powers that caused the bus to spontaneously ignite; [-]. The problem of wheel slippage.

By analogy, with the increase in the number of time backtracking, the excluded causes of death are also increasing.

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

That's because Osamu Dazai, who went through all the time travel scenes, found a very suspicious place.

The black car across the road has never appeared in the backtracking time.

But why did the car appear again after time returned to normal?

That's because "he" is the cause of death that has always been ruled out first in several time regressions.

In other words, the real culprit who caused the bus to spontaneously ignite sat in that car.

Osamu Dazai discovered this shortly after returning to normal time, but he couldn't have pointed at the car and yelled that he wanted to catch the murderer, that would have alarmed the snake.

Don't get me wrong, he was worried that it wasn't the murderer who was "surprised", but the person with the ability to go back in time.

Osamu Dazai was very interested in this man and his abilities.

The ability to go back in time is really against the sky.

This is not to say that this ability can change fate countless times against the sky, changing a bad ending into a good ending.But judging from what Osamu Dazai saw with his own eyes, the ending of going back in time is more and more catastrophic, and the destructive power is not trivial.If this person with superpowers is a little bad-hearted—although I haven't seen any signs of it for the time being, or is misled and used by some bad-minded guys, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Osamu Dazai wanted to confirm with his own eyes what kind of guy this superhuman is.

Therefore, even though Osamu Dazai already knew where the real culprit was, he didn't yell.Since that guy has not left here until now, it means that he is still waiting to confirm the follow-up results, so there is no rush to arrest him for the time being.

What if they focused their energy on catching the murderer in this case, and that person with supernatural powers took the opportunity to sneak into the crowd and slip away?

However, after Ichijo Temple appeared, Osamu Dazai had no intention of concealing it anymore, and he just found a good time to reveal the location of the murderer to Kunikida Doppo.

But pointing out the location of the murderer carelessly like a temple cultivator, isn't it just telling people that he has been exposed?

The murderer was now sitting in a car across the road, some distance from where they were, and the car could start at any moment.If they go after the murderer, a priest can take the opportunity to escape, right?

The investigator didn't know what charades these two guys were playing, and they were confused.

However, Osamu Dazai didn't give him a chance to intervene in the middle, and he said to a priest, "Come on, I'm going to make new friends, why can't I introduce myself? My name is Dazai, Osamu Dazai, how about you?" ?”

A temple cultivator didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly like this, as if observing whether a few flowers could bloom on his face.

Just when everyone thought it was cold, he said: "One temple, one temple repair."

"Oh~ So it's..."

Dazai Osamu hadn't finished speaking when Ji Yiyi approached suddenly, his golden eyes were as sharp as a falcon aiming at its prey.

"Do you know what happened to the last person who dared to grab me like this?"

"Oh? What's the end?" Osamu Dazai was not afraid, but eager to try.

A temple cultivator sneered, "I broke off my limbs and threw them into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish—"

Before the words fell, a temple cultivator suddenly attacked!

With a "bang", Osamu Dazai received a loud head hammer on his forehead, which made him dizzy, and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if he had been hit on the forehead by a brick.

Before he could catch his breath, another heavy blow hit his abdomen in the next second. The severe pain made him bend down uncontrollably, followed by two clicks, and his wrist was broken.

Osamu Dazai was sweating profusely from the pain, but the pain did not make him lose his ability to think. When he realized that he was being attacked, his body also responded.

Instead of retreating from the attack range of a temple cultivator, he entangled it, stretching out one leg to catch a temple cultivator's supporting leg. It doesn't matter if his wrist is broken, his arms are clamped tightly, like iron clamps A temple cultivator's hands are firmly twisted!

"Kunikida-kun!"

"understand!"

Kunikida Doppo tore off a page from his handbook, "Flash bomb——"

A glaring white light exploded on the road, covering the entire field of vision in an instant.
