Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

Silence reigned in the streets.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa ran alone in the fog, and the only sound echoed around him was his footsteps.

With the dense fog and extremely low visibility, people with insufficient psychological quality may have begun to panic.

But this obviously does not include Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Although he does not have a gun, nor any self-defense weapons, and the supernatural powers that have always protected him are gone... It can be called the weakest state of Akutagawa Ryunosuke since independence, but he still maintains the most basic calm.Because in such a state where the cause of the crisis is not even clear and bad enough, if he loses his last calmness, then he himself will really fall into trouble.

The more critical it is, the more important it is to keep calm.

This is something normal people can't do, and only trained people can really do it to this extent.

Although there is no special ability, but the acuity that should be there has not been reduced in the slightest. Ryunosuke Akutagawa noticed a little movement with the tip of his ear on the way forward.

After a pause, he lowered his footsteps subconsciously, moved his center of gravity down, and blended his body into the shadows like a leopard cat in a state of alert. direction to go.

is blood.

Because of the loss of the driver, it was parked in a mess in the center of the street surrounded by vehicles, and an exaggerated pool of blood stained the ground.

"This amount of bleeding...it's impossible to be alive."

Akutagawa judged it at a glance based on his own experience. He squatted down, stuck out his index finger and middle finger, touched some blood, and then rubbed it on his fingertips to feel the fluidity and temperature. It is roughly certain that this was not long ago [someone ] The trace left by the death just now, the time must not exceed 1 minute.

"But... no body?"

1 minute, how does the corpse move?Unless the person who killed this guy had a storage ability similar to Rashomon's, how could it be possible to clean up the corpse in such a short period of time.

Thinking blankly, Akutagawa had just straightened up when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, without any weapons, immediately hid.

He hid behind the vehicle, with his back against the door, holding his breath and watching the people walking towards this side.

"This is... blood!?"

"Is this the case of a suicide by a person with supernatural powers?"

"But there is no body..."

It's a familiar voice.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment, and glanced out a little.

——Atsushi Nakajima, and Kyoka Izumi.

[Suicide case of a person with supernatural powers]?

It sounds like they know something.

After confirming that the identities of those two people were correct, Akutagawa Ryunosuke slowly stood up and asked his confusion.

"What kind of superhuman suicide incident?"

"Who!?"

The sudden sound made Quan Jinghua pull out the dagger from the kimono with sharp eyes, her expression tense.

Jinghua, who thinks she is very talented in assassination, is shocked that she can't detect anyone's breath.

But such vigilance, soon after seeing the face of the visitor, he relaxed a little.

"It's Mr. Akutagawa!"

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes lit up immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had found a pillar, and walked over quickly.

The strength and calmness shown by Akutagawa Ryunosuke in the past can undoubtedly give people around him a great sense of security.

"What's going on?" Akutagawa didn't want to talk nonsense at all, and asked straight to the point, "You seem to know what information... For safety, can you tell me the information?"

Dun quickly explained.

The Armed Detective Agency just received a commission from the Supernatural Secret Service during the day.

Its title is [Serial Suicides of Persons with Different Abilities].

According to the records provided by the Supernatural Secret Service Division: After the incredible fog appeared in all parts of the country, the people with supernatural powers within the fog-shrouded area all died of their own supernatural powers.

Statistics show that there have been 128 similar incidents worldwide, and the number of recorded deaths of superhumans has exceeded 500. *1

According to the news from the Secret Service Division, the suspects suspected to be related to the serial suicides have sneaked into Yokohama. In order to ensure the safety of Yokohama, the Supernatural Secret Service Division commissioned a detective agency to arrest and monitor the suspects.

It's just that they had just received the entrustment during the day, and it was foggy at night.

"I see……"

Akutagawa stared at the tragic blood on the ground thoughtfully.

People with supernatural powers committing suicide in a row?fog?

He recalled the Yokohama residents who suddenly disappeared, and suddenly found that those who were left in the mist seemed to be people with supernatural powers, plus Rashomon who suddenly lost contact with him, and the fact that the blood loss in front of him had confirmed his death , but the corpse disappeared...

The young man, whose mental age and experience are already abundant, made a conjecture thoughtfully.

After a while, in order to confirm his guess, he looked at Atsushi Nakajima and Kyoka Izumi: "Just in case, I want to confirm, can the two of you use supernatural powers now?"

"Eh?"

Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka looked at each other in dismay.

They subconsciously obeyed Akutagawa's hints and activated their supernatural abilities together.

but--

Nothing happens.

Their abilities disappeared without a trace.

"Sure enough, all of our abilities have disappeared, no... To be precise, it should be independent."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke murmured solemnly.

"Independence...? Mr. Akutagawa, what is this—"

Atsushi Nakajima asked in panic, but before he finished speaking, the low roar of the beast from the alley on the right immediately grabbed their attention.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke immediately grabbed Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka's hand, and ran away into the distance without hesitation.

"If you don't want to die, run quickly!"

All the confusions of Dun and Jinghua were resolved in the low roar from behind and the roar of the car being lifted up and falling to the ground.

It was Atsushi Nakajima's supernatural ability [Moonbeast] that came after them.

Their abilities are not gone.

Instead, it was separated from the main body, and was endowed with an independent existence form by this fog.

The true cause of the confusing [serial suicide incidents of people with different abilities] is also revealed here.

——The independent supernatural ability will in turn kill humans.

The mystery of the disappearance of the corpse was also solved: it was nothing more than that the area shrouded in fog probably constituted a similar mirror space, shutting in all living things, leaving only the supernatural beings, and the supernatural beings in the mist were After being killed by one's own ability, the dead body will be repelled, which is why the body is missing.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pursed his lips, before the tiger behind them chased them, he ran as far as possible to distance himself, and at the same time quickly forced himself to find a way.

He didn't think his poor body could outrun the tiger behind him.

Atsushi Nakajima's supernatural ability Moonlight Beast, Izumi Kyoka's supernatural ability Yasha Shirayuki, his own supernatural power Rashomon... Now that only one has appeared, it is enough to make people feel at a loss, so the three of them gathered together Together, attracting three different abilities to hunt down and kill them, the situation is really a dead end.

That kid Rashomon...would he come after him too?

Such a question just floated in Akutagawa's mind, and he was immediately thrown aside decisively.

No, now is not the time to think about such things.

Just be prepared for the worst.

Thinking quickly, Akutagawa came up with his current best choice——

We have to act separately.

He doesn't have any weapons in his hands now - guns and the like, neither do Dun and Quan Jinghua. The only weapon on the three of them is the dagger on Quan Jinghua's body.

What's more, the supernatural ability has also disappeared. It is impossible for him to fight the supernatural ability unarmed because of his poor health. He is quite aware of the difference between ordinary people and supernatural power users. If he continues to stay with the two children behind him, it is very likely that he will die put an extra burden on them.

Even though he was thinking this way, before Ryunosuke Akutagawa could say his plan, a man suddenly rushed out in front of him.

The other party fell to the ground clutching his abdomen, and the familiar figure made the three of them stop at the same time.

Kunikida alone.

This man also seemed to be fighting with his own supernatural ability. He was shot in the abdomen and managed to escape.

"Mr. Kunikida!?"

Atsushi Nakajima yelled anxiously.

Just pause for a while.

Behind.

Atsushi Nakajima's supernatural power Moon Beast has already caught up and stepped on a car.For wild beasts, the running speed of human beings is far inferior to them, let alone supernatural beings with bonuses.

Oops……!

Akutagawa thought, he subconsciously touched his waist, there was no gun he used to... Because there was a different dimension of Rashomon in the past, so Akutagawa's weapons were all placed in it.

Fortunately, Kunikida's reaction was very fast. He still had a gun on his body. The moment the Moonlight Beast landed on the roof of the car, it immediately penetrated the fuel tank of the car. Sparks from the fallen wires ignited the flowing gasoline. A big explosion covered the figure of the Moon Beast.

Kunikida grabbed Atsushi's hand: "The detective agency has weapons and a special channel to contact the Secret Service. We have to go there quickly!"

arms.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke paused.

With just this one sentence, he immediately changed his mind.

The three of them had almost no time to hesitate, and immediately followed Kunikida's pace and ran away.

They turned into the alley, and there was an iron gate in front of them, but the door was not closed. The four of them hurried in, and Akutagawa locked the door behind him.

...This thickness can probably only withstand a blow from a different ability.

Whether it's his Rashomon or Atsushi Nakajima's Moon Beast, this door can't stop it.

"If you just run, you will definitely be caught up."

With bad lungs, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was running like fleeing for his life, was not breathing well, covered his mouth and coughed several times. He said decisively, "Go down and drive a car."

Atsushi supported Kunikida, "But we don't have the car keys—"

"I'm going to pick the lock and light the fire."

After Quan Jinghua finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the street that appeared at the exit of the alley behind.

but--

In front of Izumi Kyoka, a supernatural being [Yasha Shirayuki] with long hair and a kimono, whose body size was far larger than a normal human, stopped in front of the girl with a big sword in his hand.

The Otachi slashed at its former owner without hesitation, Jinghua drew out her own dagger decisively, and the two sharp weapons that cut iron like mud collided with each other, and there was an ear-piercing clang immediately!

To make matters worse, the iron gate closed by Atsushi Nakajima was also torn to pieces by the beast's claws.

With a loud bang, the iron gate flew away, and a huge white tiger came towards this side with a low growl.

Outflank front and back...!

"hateful!"

Kunikida pushed Atsushi, while he raised his gun and pulled the trigger on Baihu, "Go!"

Bang bang bang There were several gunshots, and the bullets were quickly exhausted. Unfortunately, the bullets failed to penetrate the fur of the white tiger, which was not low in defense.

Even if there is a little scratch, it can be easily recovered with the white tiger's self-healing ability.

The difference between supernatural powers and humans is like a moat.

The white tiger leaned down and rushed towards this side. Akutagawa Ryunosuke immediately passed his hands through Kunikida's armpit, which was unable to stand up immediately due to excessive blood loss in the abdomen. He used his lower limbs to prop up the person with all his strength, relying on the strength of his body Throwing the whole person out, even Atsushi Nakajima was thrown into the air, while he himself was enduring the dull pain in his muscles, judging that the attack path of the white tiger, who could not stop the car in front of him and would not change direction, was in the remaining poles. Instinctively adjusted the direction of the body in a short period of time, lowered the center of gravity and rolled along the ground to avoid it.

Akutagawa was sure that he could avoid the white tiger's claws.

Extremely dangerous, and dodged through a gap less than one centimeter away from the white tiger.

But that's all there is to it.

Akutagawa's full dodge made him roll along the ground several times and hit the wall beside him. The stones crushed by Baihu scratched his face. Second-rate.

Baihu didn't pay attention to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

It targets only the former owner, Atsushi Nakajima.

Just like Yasha Shirayuki who is entangled with Izumi Kyoka, the independent superpowers will always aim to kill their former masters.

"Run! Don!"

Kunikida, who was thrown out by Akutagawa, clutched his stomach and shouted at the new recruits of their detective agency, "The supernatural power will kill its master first, and its target is you!"

It is different from Mirror Flower.

Atsushi Nakajima, who has no supernatural powers, has almost no ability to resist.

——No, you can’t implicate everyone.

Atsushi's face turned pale, but after hearing Kunikida's words, he still had the idea of ​​staying away from everyone.

However, the explosive power of humans is not comparable to that of tigers.

Not to mention the ability of the tiger form.

With such a short distance, it is impossible to give Dun much time to escape.

The white tiger roared again, and opened its fangs towards the target.

whoosh-

In the nick of time.

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and Akutagawa's very familiar pitch-black cloth blade directly pierced Baihu's body!

The body of the white tiger, which couldn't be broken through by bullets, was directly pierced by the sharp cloth blade. The head, body, limbs... were firmly nailed to the ground. The cloth blade directly rolled up the white tiger tightly, and threw it out viciously as if it was about to crush it.

It directly smashed through the wall and flew a hundred meters away.

The roar was deafening, and the dust and smoke were mixed in the mist.

The cloth blade was retracted quickly, and Akutagawa stood up almost instantly when he saw the cloth blade. Under his dark eyes, the calmness that could be maintained even in times of crisis was touched, and there was a wave called shaking.

He looked in the direction of the cloth blade recovery.

Outside the iron gate torn apart by the white tiger.

A humanoid figure wrapped in cloth walked in from the shadows.

——The image of the visitor is very similar to Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Tenma Armor. The whole body is wrapped in cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes.

Even the body shape and height are almost exactly the same.

Such a distinctive feature... There is no doubt that it is Rashomon.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's whole body tensed up suddenly, he stared at his own supernatural ability, and his mood became extremely complicated.

It finally appeared.

Akutagawa never thought that one day he would fight with his own abilities.

The Rashomon that only belongs to him, the young and cute Rashomon, thinking about how the other party is acting like a cat in his arms, Akutagawa has no way to feel the slightest hostility towards him, even in this situation , even if the opponent is using a human form he is unfamiliar with now.

To be precise, Akutagawa Ryunosuke couldn't believe that Rashomon would attack him at all.

After all, that was Rashomon.

As long as his little master is hurt a little bit, he will be extremely distressed, and he will viciously remember the enemy's lifelong hatred of Rashomon.

Only belongs to his Rashomon.

The humanoid Rashomon withdrew all the cloth blades.

It tilted its head, and looked at Ryunosuke Akutagawa who was struggling.

Then, he took a step and walked in the direction of the other party.

Kunikida became nervous: "Mr. Akutagawa! Be careful—"

Rashomon stopped walking.

It turned its head to look at Kunikida, its only exposed pair of golden eyes narrowed, it seemed a little unhappy.

After a long while, it turned its head and took another step towards Akutagawa.

—Calm, slow, without any intention of attack.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked hesitantly at his own abilities.

Rashomon is good at long-range attacks, if he really wants to fight, the opponent will never choose to pull into the distance.

Coupled with the fact that Akutagawa didn't feel any killing intent, this knowledge made him unable to think of avoiding it.

Appearing in human form for the first time, Rashomon stopped at a distance of one meter from Akutagawa.

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Rashomon took the lead.

It held out a hand.

The different space opens.

A clean handkerchief was brought out.

Rashomon in human form wiped the scratches on Akutagawa's face with a handkerchief very carefully and slowly.

It was the wound that was accidentally cut by the stones that were trampled by the white tiger and splashed in this direction.

It was very subtle, just a little blood, but it couldn't be wiped off immediately, so it slid down Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face, which was much paler than ordinary people, so it was a little conspicuous.

In fact, the platelets in that scratch had already played a role and stopped the bleeding long ago.

Even so, Rashomon was still quite angry.

It was full of anger, almost to the point of exploding.

The movement of the hand was very light, as if it was treating its most important treasure, it was so gentle that it was outrageous.

"Rashomon...?"

Feeling the gentle force, Akutagawa Ryunosuke instantly opened his dark eyes wide and murmured in surprise.

After confirming that the little blood on Akutagawa's face was wiped off, Rashomon threw away the handkerchief.

Then, under the call of the little master, it tilted its head, and then stretched out its hand again.

But it stopped suddenly, Rashomon looked down at his body, seemed not satisfied with his current body shape, it spread the cloth blade apart without saying a word, revealing the red crystal hidden in the body, and then Quickly restraining himself, Rashomon, who readjusted the looseness of the cloth, stretched himself up and widened by a degree.

——Then stepped forward without hesitation, and it hugged Akutagawa Ryunosuke tightly into its arms.

His head was buried on Akutagawa's neck, and his hands were wrapped around his waist and shoulders. It was the most intimate and protective posture.

The readjusted body shape is enough for Rashomon to embrace his little master, its most important existence, in his arms.

Just like in the past, he rubbed against Akutagawa affectionately.
