Fukuzawa Yukichi entered the village head's office and asked the other party how to leave Yihatbo Village. Nakajima Atsushi simply chose to stay outside and chatted happily with Miyazawa Kenji.

"My favorite is beef." Miyazawa Kenji said with a smile, "especially the beef rice bowl, super-delicious!"

"My favorite is actually ochazuke." Atsushi Nakajima touched his chin, "Because ochazuke is not only cheap, but also easy to fill your stomach!"

"Is it like this?" Kenji Miyazawa blinked his eyes, "Should I try to eat chazuke next time?"

"In this case, it really depends on whether you like it or not." Atsushi Nakajima scratched his head, "Comparatively speaking, in terms of animals, I actually like chameleons."

"Eh?!" Kenji Miyazawa was taken aback, "I can't tell, you don't look like the type who likes chameleons... No, most people don't particularly like chameleons, do they?"

"Well... I don't know, but I just think chameleons are cute." Atsushi Nakajima laughed twice, "But as for my guardian, he likes curry rice very much, and he must eat it at least three times a week!"

"Wow! This level of love is as much as I like beef rice!" Miyazawa Kenji sighed, "Is Aden's guardian the gentleman who just went to the village chief?"

"No." Atsushi Nakajima shook his head, "That's the president of our armed detective agency."

"Wow, Aden, do you already have a job?!" Miyazawa Kenji showed an envious expression, "You are only four years older than me? You already have a job?! It's like this in big cities ?"

Atsushi Nakajima was a little embarrassed: "Ah... not at all, right? Most people are still in school at this time."

"Go to school?" Kenji Miyazawa was taken aback, "Is it a private school? There is only one private school in Yihatbe Village, but you can learn a lot of truths in it."

"It should be about the same... After all, I have never been there. I was born in an orphanage, so I don't know who my parents are." Atsushi Nakajima sighed, and then regained his composure. For a two-year-old, he has gone to school!"

"Then did he tell you what to teach at school?" Kenji Miyazawa asked curiously.

"No." Atsushi Nakajima was silent for a while, "But Mr. Ranpo said that what you can learn in school, you can learn from him."

"Who is Mr. Ranpo?" Miyazawa Kenji asked.

"It is the center of our armed detective agency, the world's number one detective." Atsushi Nakajima smiled, "If there is a chance, I will introduce you to each other."

"What do you think?" The village head of Ihatbe Village sat in the room, listening to Atsushi Nakajima and Kenji Miyazawa happily communicating.

"It seems that the two of them get along very happily." Fukuzawa Yukichi replied.

"If you are the president of the detective agency, can I entrust you? The content of the entrustment is, please take Xiaoxian and leave here together." The village chief asked.

"May I ask why?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

"You should probably know how special Xiaoxian is in Yihatbo Village." The village chief sighed, "Because of your mistaken entry, we will move soon."

"In the whole village, there seems to be only one child, Miyazawa-kun." Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed, "Can you tell me about the situation?"

"This story is both long and short." The village chief crossed his fingers and put it on the table. "Then let me explain briefly."

"Actually, the entire Yihatbe Village is a village of the dead. And Xiaoxian... no, Miyazawa Kenji is the only living person in it."

"Kenji Miyazawa strayed into Yihatbe Village just like you nine years ago. At that time, he was just a little baby who could crawl...the reason why he was strong enough to fight a cow and was never injured , because he has strange abilities."

"Because we are dead, we don't need to eat, and we don't need to farm. In other words, Yihatbo Village can become what you see now, in fact, it is all because of us to provide Xiaoxian with a normal life environment."

"But because the living and the dead are different after all, Xiaoxian's perception of the world is not normal."

"It's not that we didn't think about letting him return to human life in the past, but maybe it's because Xiaoxian grew up in Yihatbo Village, so he has the brand of Yihatbo Village on his body... …In the past few times, Xiaoxian came back by himself. Therefore, only Xiaoxian left on his own initiative can let him stay in the world of the living and live well.”

"For monsters, the age of 13 is the time of adulthood. If Xiaoxian can't get out before the age of 13, I'm afraid he can only become a human and a monster. We don't want him to be a monster when he doesn't know. It became like that.” The village head of Yihatbo Village sighed, “We waited for nine years before new survivors strayed into this place, that is, you.”

"I hope you can take Xiaoxian out...but of course he can come back when he wants to." The village head smiled wryly, "Because his fate has already been linked with this village."

"In order to maintain his existence as a [person] and not as a [yokai], I want you to keep him coming back as little as possible."

"You are our last hope."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a long time.

"In this case, we have accepted this commission." Fukuzawa Yukichi finally nodded, "But after that, I will tell Miyazawa-kun the whole matter exactly."

"I understand." The village chief nodded, "I'll leave everything about Xiaoxian to you."

"Aren't you going with us?" Kamado Tanjiro asked.

After they finish eating udon noodles for dinner, they encounter the Oni who comes to pick up Tanjirou Kamado and his sister Nezuko.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke recognized it at a glance—that ghost was one of the two ghosts hidden in the aroma and patterns during the street riots.

"No." Akutagawa Ryunosuke shook his head, "I saw someone before... I was a little concerned."

"Okay then, we'll see you later, Mr. Akutagawa." Tanjiro Kamado thoughtfully didn't ask further, just waved to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and followed the ghost away.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pondered for a while, activated Rashomon, and passed over the bustling crowd.The black coat gave him a good concealment, and when he was walking through the night, almost no one could see his figure clearly.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke landed on the clock tower, and he turned his head to look at the alley where the black suit was.

After eating udon noodles, there was no one in the alley.

No, to be precise, there were no living people in the alley—the head of Hei Changzhi who took the lead in provoking trouble was smashed to pieces, and the bald and fat man who was Hei Changzhi's backer fell twisted in a pool of his own blood.

The only woman among the three was missing at the moment, leaving only a set of clothes scattered on the ground.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expression turned serious—there didn't seem to be any supernatural powers in the Taisho period, and the ones who could make such a scene where [abnormalities] can be seen at a glance must undoubtedly be ghosts with special abilities.

Most of the ghost's special abilities are single-whether it is the hand ghost that Kamado Tanjiro told him about, or the swamp ghost they met two days ago, it proved this point.

Therefore, the two different ways of disposing of the corpses in the alley undoubtedly illustrate a point-not to mention the two ghosts who seem to be from the neutral camp, there must be more than one ghost in the hostile camp in Asakusa, Kyoto!

But if what happened here was done by a ghost, then the strength of this ghost must be beyond the ability of Kamado Tanjiro.

Want to help?Akutagawa Ryunosuke hesitated.

When he was hesitant to make a decision, the words Shen Yuehuan once said suddenly appeared in his mind: "If you really can't think of what you should do, then trust your intuition, Akutagawa-kun... After all, sometimes , your intuition tells you what to do one step ahead.”

"—after all, that's the survival instinct you've brought to you from living in the slums for so many years."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke let out a soft breath.

He jumped down from the clock tower, and the pitch-black Rashomon led him to jump nimbly among the buildings——

From high above, he saw a ghost with eyes in his palm.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke violently manipulated Rashomon to send himself high into the air - a ball of string passed through where he was originally, and slammed heavily on the roof, even smashing the roof through.

A voice asked, "Hey, what are you doing with us?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned his head and looked: on the opposite roof, there was a girl with short hair standing.In the girl's hand, she was holding a ball of thread.

The ball of string bounced back and forth on the roof and in the palm of her hand as she slapped it, and the bell contained in the ball made a continuous, "jingle bell" sound.

Poland, Carpathian Voivodeship, Przemysl.

This is near the border between Poland and Ukraine, and it is also where the stronghold actually controlled by [Rats of the House of the Dead] is located.

Dazai Osamu was bouncing down the street, wearing a hat on his head, and even put on a little make-up in order not to stand out.

In the post-war territorial redrawing more than ten years ago, the new border between Poland and Soviet Union passed only a few kilometers east of Przemysl, so Przemysl and most of its economic hinterland contact was severed.

For Fyodor, who is a Suvi, this is the best location-Przemysl is an area connecting mountains and plains, with convenient transportation, and it is close to the navigable San River, with more industries The country is inclined to light industry, while the energy source is natural gas fields, and it is also a major transportation station between Poland and Ukraine. Whether it is advancing or retreating, it is a perfect fortress.

"Good vision." Osamu Dazai commented after walking around, "Right? Mr. Sigma."

The half-white and half-purple-haired gentleman walked slowly from the corner behind him, and finally stood in front of Osamu Dazai.

"What do you want to do here?" Sigma asked.

But before Dazai could answer, he spoke again: "No matter what you want to do, I won't let him do it."

"No." Osamu Dazai laughed, "My goal has been achieved, and I already know the truth."

"What did you say...?" Sigma was taken aback.

"Oh, don't be like this." Osamu Dazai blinked playfully, "It looks like I'm bullying you. Mr. Majin behind you should already know why I came—you probably didn't obey Majin-san’s opinion, please stay where you should be? Well, but my goal is only half accomplished.”

"Of course, it's the most important part." Osamu Dazai spread his hands, "Mr. Majin is really not to be underestimated... But it doesn't matter, I'm waiting for his plan."

Sigma froze.

"I'm waiting for his huge and crazy plan." Osamu Dazai put his fingers to his lips and said with a smile.

After speaking, he got into the crowd and disappeared in twos and threes.

Shen Yuehuan, who was far away in Croatia, felt his mobile phone vibrate in [Border Town], and then he showed a smile.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, "So happy?"

"The preliminary plan has been finalized, of course I'm happy." Shen Yuehuan said, "Next, we can focus on Akutagawa - we have to bring him back."

"That's for sure." Zhong Yuanzhong also showed a wild smile, "He is from our PortMafia."

The author has something to say:

The thing about Yihatbo Village is a private establishment.Mr. Miyazawa wrote that what happened in Yihatbo Village was a frost disaster, waiting for Mr. Asagiri to slap him in the face.

The former Mimic stronghold that Fyodor got was privately established in Przemysl, Poland, but Przemysl is a nice old city, and the buildings look nice (I haven’t been there, according to the pictures on Baidu Comments, don’t say I’m in Amway, you go on a trip), the location is very good, accessible by rail and shipping, there are natural gas fields, the main industries include light industry and agriculture, and in some cases it is indeed a strategic location.

Anyway, that's it for today.

Updating Meowdun tomorrow, so take a day off :D
