Uchiha's superpowers

I have already prepared the meals, waiting for my brother to come home from get off work as usual, and then have dinner together.

But the strange thing is that my brother came back very late today. He neither told me in advance that he would work overtime, nor called me to tell me that there was any delay.

Out of worry, I used reading and writing divination to find out where my brother is now.

Today's night sky is thick with clouds and mist, and because it has lost the brilliance of the stars and the moon, it looks darker than usual. My brother is standing in a remote place without even a street light. On his long black hair Under the cover, only half of his shadowy profile was revealed.

I looked at my brother's bangs that almost pierced his eyes and thought subconsciously, I'm going to help my brother cut his hair.

Then I belatedly noticed the strange look in my brother's eyes.

Sharp killing intent and cold hatred were revealed in the stubborn eyes as if he had made up his mind, and the half-gloved palm was lightly resting on the short knife that he didn't use much on weekdays. I knew it had just been refilled.

It's just like...

I saw Uchiha Itachi's expression.

I couldn't turn a blind eye to the way my brother looked without figuring out what was going on.

Of course I heard Edogawa Ranpo's plan to talk to Fukuzawa Yukichi in his apartment openly. It was nothing more than getting it from the spy Ango Sakaguchi who they planted in the port mafia by cooperating with the Supernatural Secret Service Division. The information they need, and then Edogawa Ranpo will ask Oda Sakunosuke to forward a letter to Fukuzawa Yukichi, which probably records Edogawa Ranpo's supplement to the plan details, but the general trend will not change .

Then Edogawa Ranpo would communicate with me telepathically in the office, and directly confessed that they would contact the military and police again through the relationship of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and ask them to send some combatants to attack me and cooperate with me. Playing a scene where my brother successfully protects me after a difficult battle should more or less relieve my mental stress, and prove to me that even if I escape from the port mafia, I can gradually improve my brother's condition .

No matter how you look at this plan, it is beneficial and harmless to me, so I will naturally not refuse it. Besides, I came to the Port Mafia because of the dessert coupons from the House of Sweet Love, because Mori Ogai recently planned to officially list Mori Co., Ltd. Transforming the huge assets secretly captured by the port mafia through the leading war into legitimate assets on the surface, many industries under the name of Mori Co., Ltd. have gradually closed down or closed down in order to consolidate assets. Coincidentally, this It also includes the house of sweet love.

No, it shouldn't be a coincidence. Although I don't quite understand it, it should be that Edogawa Ranpo took advantage of this opportunity to do something to include this small dessert shop on that list.

From the perspective of ordinary people, of course they would take it for granted that for high-ranking cadres, this is just a small dessert shop, nothing at all.

But Edogawa Ranpo, who knows my personality, knows that I am a person who pays attention to promises.

I was born, walked, and babbled in a world where ninjas existed, and then gradually grew up with my own way of thinking. Whether I want to admit it or deny it, I still have the imprint of that world on my body.

Accepting tasks, completing tasks, and getting rewards are the most basic principles of this world. The spirit of contract is regarded as something heavier than life. In order to complete the task, even betrayal of partners and stealing life alone is considered to be humiliating and should be praised. Behavior.

I am not a ninja, and I have longed for this kind of career like my brother, but the Uchiha family has been a ninja for generations, except for a very small number of people who do not have chakra meridians. It's not a strange thing to get into the habit of paying attention to promises.

In my eyes, the dessert coupon from the House of Sweet Love is the reward Mori Ogai entrusted me to join the port mafia. After that, I worked for him to obtain information, all based on this small dessert coupon. Then a crumbling house of cards was built one by one on top of it.

And the closure of Sweet Love House means the invalidation of dessert coupons, and it is also announcing a fact to me——

The contract between me and Mori Ogai was slowly torn apart by a pair of invisible palms, and it ended with Mori Ogai's contemptuous and indifferent breach of contract, which ended completely.

It was like a house of cards with its base removed, only to collapse fragilely and decisively into ruins in an instant.

When I heard the news from the logistics department that the house of sweet love was closed, I knew that what Edogawa Ranpo wanted to do had been completed, and no matter what, I couldn't stay in the port mafia any longer.

Now that Ranpo Edogawa's ultimate goal of getting me out of the port mafia has been achieved, then they only need to take advantage of the situation and ask me to cooperate. Why would my brother be involved.

But put aside the pursuit of this matter first, I think I need to see what my brother is doing first.

Because the light of the picture I read and wrote before was too poor and dark, I couldn’t see where my brother was. I sat on the sofa with a stack of A4 paper and continued to read and write the real-time video of my brother. Around the sixth time, I finally managed to see something iconic.

The five buildings in the background are so far away that there are only a few thin black lines left. With that shape and distribution, you can tell that it is the headquarters building of the Port Mafia just by looking at it.

Based on such a picture, I can roughly estimate the direction and distance, and the location of my brother does not seem to be a crowded place. After roughly delineating a range, I only need to use telepathy to find my brother's location .

Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a worrying brother.

I thought with a little sigh, and then disappeared into the apartment in the next second.

In order to prevent "Shock!A UFO appears in the night sky of Yokohama! With titles like ", I concealed my body intimately, floating in mid-air in a transparent form, and searched for my brother's trace with telepathy.

To be honest, this suburb far away from Yokohama is even more remote than I imagined. You don’t even need to concentrate on finding your brother’s heartfelt words. You can find out that the heartfelt voice closest to me is undoubtedly the one I heard since I was a child. Big familiar voice.

Alright, now that you have found your brother, let's get a little closer and ask him why he didn't come home so late.

Thinking like this, I slowly lowered my floating height, but suddenly stopped halfway.

... what did I hear?

For a moment, I felt like I was hallucinating.

Why did Ogai Mori switch his target from me to my brother so quickly?Why did my brother know that Mori Ogai had set a trap for himself but didn't mention it to me at all?Why is all this different from Edogawa Ranpo's plan?

I slowly moved again, falling from mid-air to the ground.

The down-to-earth touch made me feel a sense of vertigo.

I stood in the shadow of a tree not far from my brother and quietly watched his firm and fearless back.

why?

In fact, I understood the moment I asked the question.

It is because of the existence of Osamu Dazai.

From the beginning, I missed one person by mistake. This is not a confrontation between Edogawa Ranpo and Mori Ogai, but a game of three people.

A game between Ranpo Edogawa, Osamu Dazai and Ogai Mori.

I still carried the A4 paper on which I read and wrote my brother's image for the last time, and I took out the paper and smoothed it in front of my eyes.

[read and write]

The problem lies in the letter that Edogawa Ranpo handed to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

My telepathy can only read their current thoughts. This is a well-known thing. With Edogawa Ranpo's talent, he must have already thought of how to avoid my telepathy and mislead my thinking. , Let me relax my vigilance a little bit, I may even have predicted today's situation early.

The plan he told Fukuzawa Yukichi was true, but there was a second plan that was also true that I didn't know existed.

About three seconds later, the A4 paper in my hand showed the content of the original letter.

A picture that looked like it was torn from a fairy tale book, and a blank letter paper with only a few sentences written on it.

[Post the painting anonymously to this address, and write it received by Osamu Dazai. ]

really.

As expected, I saw Osamu Dazai's name.

Since the operation was aimed at me, as the only being immune to all my superpowers, how could Edogawa Ranpo let go of such a useful tool as Dazai Osamu?

I exchanged the torn picture with the A4 paper in my hand. After taking off the transparent gloves on my hand, I touched the picture with my fingertips. It only took a moment to understand the cause and effect.

It turned out to be the case.

A fire suddenly appeared in my hand, burning the picture completely, turning it into embers flying around in the dark night, blending silently with the soil.

It just so happened that a bold overseas organization fled to Yokohama and took over the port mafia's weapon warehouse, and after destroying the whole nest of that brainless organization, Mori Ogai became conscious under the instigation of Osamu Dazai. When it came time, this was an excellent opportunity to frame him. It was an opportunity to get rid of Sasuke Uchiha as he wished, but also not to shake the hearts of the insiders of the port mafia.

He took advantage of the opportunity to evacuate the inventory in the weapon warehouse that was attacked, and placed the bodies of members of the Port Mafia who died in the fight with foreign organizations in the warehouse, and then caused an explosion accident, creating a loss for the Port Mafia The disastrous false appearance even took the opportunity to clean up a minister of finance who had surrendered early but had been secretly embezzling funds from the port mafia.

And just before Mori Ogai did it, Dazai Osamu, who can block my telepathy, gave my brother a hint, telling him not to pass on any news to me, and go directly to Mori Ogai's trap alone.

The false drama will be exposed sooner or later. Only by truly letting my brother escape from my protection and experience life and death by himself can I achieve the ending I expected...

Is this what you want to convey to me?Random steps.

I breathed heavily, slowly calming down as my lungs filled and deflated.

[I see. ]

My fingers have sunk deeply into the tree trunk, and the sticky juice is winding down the forearm, dripping into the soil.

[I'm just standing here watching. ]

Watching my brother slowly stepping into the warehouse that might take his life, watching him strengthen his belief little by little, and get rid of the overprotection I placed on him, I once again really felt the fear of dying and despair.

Then, escape from that bloody night, escape from the thick shadow that fell over that man, escape from the false peace and tranquility that I gave him.

Let him realize the reality of this world again.
