Retired savior rehired daily

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

As long as he thinks about the huge troubles he brought to this city and the people living in it when this person "resurrected from the dead" last time, Kunikida Doppo can't be like Dazai Osamu with carefree (? ) smiling face to face all this.

"What's going on..." He tried hard to maintain his composure, "Didn't you say that Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is completely dead? Don't tell me he can be resurrected again!"

- What a joke!

The so-called "resurrection" of Tatsuhiko Shibusawa last time was actually the power crystal and skull remaining after his death were used by the demon Dostoyevsky, and the last fragment of the power crystal was combined with him in Atsushi Nakajima. After smashing the skull together, "Resurrected Shibusawa Tatsuhiko" was completely erased from this world, just as Osamu Dazai said - "There is no residue left, whether it is a soul or a supernatural power." .

Even if someone wants to use the same method to resurrect him again, but lacks the necessary medium, how can he be called back to the world from the underworld for a real "dead soul"?

Could it be that……

Kunikida Doppo's eyes slowly moved to Qiao Wen——

"Using the means of 'over there world'?"

"BINGO!" Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers exaggeratedly, "You are so capable! Kunikida-kun! I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly, you are indeed the acting president! Chirp, chirp, chirp~"

Kunikida Doppo: ...

Kunikida Doppo clenched his fists, resisting the urge to punch someone's smiling face hard.

He said viciously: "Have I said it? Dazai? If you don't really want to praise others, don't open your mouth! If you want to applaud, at least lift your arms that don't know how many bandages were wasted to tie them like that." How? Using onomatopoeia to express neither sincerity nor maturity! Or…”

The blond young man raised his hand and pushed down his glasses, his face was astonishingly black:

"Are you expressing sarcasm at me in this way?"

"How could it be?" The smile on Dazai Osamu's face did not waver at all. He leaned closer and patted Kunikida Doppo on the shoulder. For some reason, his tone of voice became the same as "Europeans and Americans speak Japanese": "国↗ Kida→kun, you have too much heart! I am sincerely praising you!"

As he said that, he turned around and asked others for confirmation:

"Right? Mr. Ranpo? Qiao Jun?"

The two who were suddenly cue: →_→

Edogawa jumped out of the chair in random steps, and walked towards the snack cabinet in the corner as if he hadn't heard anything:

"Rough dim sum thick dim sum~Ranpo-sama's thick dim sum~"

Qiao Wen showed an awkward yet polite smile, turned his head and rubbed his face with Ba Wei, who was sitting on his shoulder, and discussed something in a low voice.

Everyone in the detective agency who witnessed the whole process: ...

Everyone turned their attention to Dazai Osamu who was still smiling.

I found that even in such a situation, the smile on the latter's face did not show any trace of stiffness or embarrassment. Everyone looked at him with a bit of admiration and awe unconsciously—as expected of him. Dazai / Mr. Dazai!It's admirable to have such a thick skin.Sure enough, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed!

Osamu Dazai: ...

The corner of Dazai Osamu's mouth twitched vaguely.

In order not to let himself continue to be bathed in such complex gazes, he changed his expression every second——

"However, Kunikida-kun guessed wrong on one point, huh?"

The kite-colored eyes narrowed slightly, at this moment Dazai Osamu looked completely different from just now:

"Although the method used by the other party is from 'the other world', it is different from Kunikida-kun's guess."

"After all... there is only one Qiao Jun in this world. Of course, there is only one Qiao Jun who can do what Qiao Jun can do."

"The opponent's hand is far behind us... but the ability to 'weave a story' is not bad."

As Osamu Dazai said, he pulled out a stack of documents out of nowhere.

He pushes the file to Kunikida Doppo:

"Would you like to see it? Kunikida-kun? See who it is that wants to bring 'Shibusawa Tatsuhiko' back to the world?"

Kunikida Doppo gave him a deep look, but he didn't pursue the topic just now.

He took the document and, together with Atsushi Nakajima and others who came over curiously, flipped through the pages.

……

After some time.

"...I see." Kunikida Doppo finally read all the documents.

He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow.

No wonder Osamu Dazai said that the other party's ability to "weave stories" is not bad.

In this document given by Osamu Dazai, it records an urban legend wounding incident called "Steel Man Nanase Incident" that took place in Makurazaka City. Various investigation reports on this incident through official channels.

Kunikida Doppo already had some impressions of this incident—because he heard that it was an extremely rare and weird incident of hurting people, and the Supernatural Secret Service Division had sent special personnel to investigate, so he paid a little attention to it, and then it was rumored that This is an individual case. Although the investigation results of the Supernatural Secret Service Division have not been announced to the public, judging from the fact that the Secret Service Section has not changed its attitude towards weird people, the rumors should not differ much from the facts. The incident that happened was forgotten in the back of my mind, and I didn't pay more attention to it.

Unexpectedly, after reading the detailed information about the incident today, I discovered that the whole process of the incident was so thrilling. That weird princess, Her Royal Highness, completed such a task alone when no one knew about it. A feat, defending the common sense and order of this world with one's own strength...

"That's why the chief farmer and those above trust Miss Iwanaga so much..." Kunikida Doppo thought, "Because she did what she said, and restrained everyone with her own power alone. weirdness, and solves the dangers and troubles that weirdness brings to such a degree..."

Originally, Kunikida Doppo, like Dazai Osamu, felt that the attitude of the Supernatural Secret Service Division and the military and police towards weirdness was too casual.

How could he completely ignore the weirdness just because of a little girl's promise?

Now seeing Kotoko Iwanaga's record...one of them, Kunikida Doppo can only say that without knowing the whole situation, he should not draw conclusions lightly.

He let out a long breath.

"So?" The blond young man raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "What does this information have to do with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's resurrection?"

He admitted that from this information, he saw the infinite possibilities of "the world over there", just relying on arguing with each other on the Internet, "weaving" more reasonable, even fictitious stories, to influence people's opinions Recognize and change their views on a certain phenomenon, and use this kind of "manipulation" of people's hearts to achieve their goals...

Just as a bystander, looking down at the past from the perspective of God, you can still feel how tit-for-tat and thrilling this process is, not to mention the two central characters who stirred up the development of this "story" in it—weird Our princess, His Highness Kotoko Iwanaga, and Rikka Sakuragawa, the man behind the Steel Man Nanase incident.

——To do what a human being cannot do.

This is something that very few people with supernatural powers can do.

Kunikida Doppo admits that this is really exciting.

But to revive Shibusawa Tatsuhiko?

Sorry.

Judging from the information that can be observed so far, it is absolutely impossible for both Kotoko Iwanaga and Rokka Sakuragawa to have such an ability.

Osamu Dazai smiled and shook his finger at Kunikida Doppo who looked doubtful——

"Kunikida-kun, learn to think outside the box~"

He said in a tone that made Kunikida Doppo feel extremely angry, condescending, and pointing out the country.

"Besides, preconceived ideas are a big taboo for independent thinking."

Saying that, Osamu Dazai rolled his eyes and smiled cunningly:

"From the beginning to the end, I have said that Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was 'resurrected' by someone?"

Kunikida Doppo: ...

Kunikida Doppo: ——! ! !

He suddenly widened his eyes——

Yes!

Dazai Osamu just kept affirming Kunikida Doppo's guess, Kunikida Doppo said the name "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko", Dazai Osamu exaggeratedly said that Kunikida-kun Kunikida-kun is so capable.

Kunikida Doppo said that someone could revive Barabara Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, but Dazai Osamu cunningly used the ambiguous description of "bringing back to the world".

He did not deny Kunikida Doppo's statement.

But in the same way, he has never directly admitted it directly!

In the blink of an eye, compared to the anger of being teased by an unscrupulous partner again, a little inspiration came to Kunikida Doppo's mind one step ahead——

"Urban legend!!"

He suddenly realized, with a somewhat unbelievable expression.

"Sakuragawa Rokka did not really revive 'Shibusawa Ryuhiko', she created an urban legend of Shibusawa Ryuhiko's return to the world based on the existence of Shibusawa Ryuhiko!"

Therefore, in just a few days since the dense smog incident occurred, rumors about this incident have spread wildly on the Internet. Almost all local forums in Yokohama have been occupied by discussions about this incident. Not to mention many large national forums There are also many discussion posts about the Yokohama dense smog incident.

Whether it is the Armed Detective Agency, the police responsible for investigating missing cases, or even the Ability Secret Service Division, which should be more sensitive and vigilant to the keyword "dense fog", none of them reported this incident immediately. It is associated with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko because this time the dense fog incident is obviously very different from Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's previous behavior style.

Shibusawa Ryuhiko's special ability [Ryuhiko Noma], when activated, will produce a thick fog that can cover a certain range around it.

The maximum extent of dense fog can include an entire city.

In this thick fog, ordinary people will temporarily "disappear", and only the supernatural beings can stay in the fog, and the supernatural beings will be separated from the supernatural powers they hold in the fog. The ability will materialize and actively attack the original owner until his death.

The supernatural powers of the dead supernatural beings will turn into supernatural crystals like red gems, which will be automatically collected by [Tatsuhiko Noma] and become one of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's "collections".

Conversely, if the supernatural being who has lost the supernatural power can defeat the supernatural power with his own strength, and smash the red diamond-shaped gemstone on the manifested supernatural power, he will be able to regain his own supernatural power, and will no longer be attacked by [Long Yanzhi] between] limited.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko once used this supernatural power to hunt and collect supernatural powers abroad, and his name "collector" came from this.

It's just that, the body of the supernatural being killed by Shibusawa Ryuhiko's supernatural ability will not disappear, but will be left in place, and will be discovered soon after the thick fog clears.

As for the series of disappearances in Yokohama this time in dense fog, you can tell from the title that all the "victims" disappeared mysteriously in the dense fog as if they were hidden by gods. None of the organizations remained.

"And the most crucial point—"

Kunikida Doppo pushed the table violently and stood up.

"In the dense fog caused by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's supernatural ability, ordinary people will 'disappear', but with the removal of the supernatural ability, they will reappear. Although I don't want to admit it, but from the perspective of ordinary people, This can even be regarded as a kind of 'protection' for them."

After all, it is much safer to disappear temporarily than to be involved in the battle between the supernatural being and the supernatural power.

But in the thick fog now appearing in Yokohama, the missing are all ordinary people.

——Yes, among the missing, there is not a single person with supernatural powers.

This is why the series of disappearances in dense fog has been handed over to the Yokohama local police department for handling. Neither the Supernatural Secret Service nor the military police have proposed to take over the incident into their own hands.

Because even taking a step back—

"Even if the prisoner who caused this incident may be a person with supernatural powers, from the official point of view, since a family member of the missing person has approached our armed detective agency and entrusted the incident to the detective agency, even if the official force is not used, It can also bring criminals to justice easily—because between day and night in Yokohama, it is our Armed Detective Agency that is in charge of the city’s dusk.”

Kunikida Doppo's thoughts became clearer than ever.

"In this way, all the clues are connected in series!"

At this moment, the glasses on the blond young man's face reflected a familiar white light, and he looked confident and shining.

The barrage display area in Qiao Wen's field of vision was once again densely packed with various barrages——

"Damn it! Kunikida is so handsome!!"

"So handsome +1! Although I know that Kunikida is definitely not that kind of idiot character design, but the way he gets along with Dazai always makes me can't help but regard him as the kind of JUMP-type hot-blooded idiot protagonist [laughing and crying], so I forgot that he is still There are many, many bright moments, the most reliable acting president of the detective agency, and also the man who once conquered human spiritual abuse-mathematics, and even became a math teacher..."

"Is human mental abuse okay? Friends in front, please tell your story."

"Come on. If you want to talk about the story between Mathematics and Mathematics, I'm afraid most people have something to say. To be honest, three days and three nights in Qiao Xiaoer's live broadcast room are not enough for us to finish →_→"

"Speaking of which, do you think the image of glasses suddenly reflecting light is familiar..."

"It looks a bit familiar..."

"It's so familiar that I want to sing the phrase 'so you're here too'..."

"I know who you want to talk about. So do I."

"Hi! It's been a long time since I saw that image of him!"

"Yeah...Since Conan changed back to Shinichi, not only the Wannian primary school meme has disappeared, but even the meme of 'Conan's glasses flashed and found that things are not simple' can no longer be played. It's boring, boring!"

"Don't be shrewd in the bullet screen! Didn't you find that the topic was wrong again!"

"So don't get skinny, let's get back to the topic—"

"The topic is—what's going on??"

"... Kunikida suddenly became brighter?"

"Yes, not right. I agree that Kunikida suddenly became handsome, but what is the reason for his handsomeness? He said that all the clues can be connected in series, but I am still in a fog here, full of question marks..."

"Me too_(:з)∠)_"

"Because Qiao Xiaoer has learned badly recently. When he and Dazai were still conspiring in disorder (?), he didn't even start the live broadcast very much. He also said that he couldn't spoil it, and we couldn't let us lose the surprise of watching the live broadcast. ...God knows I don't want any surprises at all, I just want to know the content of the new script!"

"That's right! Although I am also looking forward to surprises, artificial surprises are not advisable! We must surprise Qiao Xiaoer with us! Otherwise, there is no joy!"

"The friends in front are talking nonsense. Are we the kind of unscrupulous people who would rather be shocked than appreciate Qiao Xiaoer being shocked?"

"—Speaking of which, I admit that I am."

"Me too."

"Count me in!"

"...So, is Qiao Xiaoer using the technique of 'every evil will be rewarded with evil' against us?"

"Ah this..."

……

The live broadcast room was filled with happy air(?) for a moment.

Qiao Wen resisted the urge to laugh out loud, and pointed fingers at Ba Wei, who could also see the barrage on his shoulder—Yeah! "Bullying" to sand sculpture netizens! (you two...)

Then, he turned his gaze to Kunikida Doppo, expecting what conclusion he would say next.

Sure enough, the blond youth did not disappoint Qiao Wen.

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose again:

"Based on the ability that Sakuragawa Rokka demonstrated in the Steelers Nanase incident, she is very good at controlling changes in people's hearts, and will adjust her 'settings' based on real-time feedback on the Internet, without affecting her most desired structure. Under the premise of the overall framework of the story, try to fit your own 'creation' in the direction recognized by most people."

"However, there is a premise here."

"That's what most people think of as their own opinion, but it was actually formed little by little under the unobtrusive guidance of Sakuragawa Rokka."

"Although it is everyone's independent thoughts and opinions, in the final analysis, what supports these thoughts and opinions are the urban legends constructed by Sakuragawa Rokka, and the information and intelligence provided by Sakuragawa Rokka. "

"It's not so much that she is compromising to the majority of people, it's better to say that she is actually using her own guidance and people to produce through these guidance, naturally leaning towards Sakuragawa Rokka, but it is not the same as the result she wants, Finding an optimal balance between these ideas that can affect her final 'creative' outcome."

"Of course, it's not important. Because we need to think about how to break this balance, how to force Sakuragawa Rokka to constantly modify her settings, so that in the end it becomes full of loopholes and will be replaced by another more 'reasonable' and more popular character. The 'theory' approved by the majority should not be us, but Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Perhaps it was because she was afraid that Her Royal Highness would interfere again and disrupt her plan."

"Sakuragawa Liuhua took a completely different approach from the steel man Nanase incident this time."

Kunikida Doppo single-handedly slapped the document on the table that has been read by everyone in the detective agency in turn about the Steelman Nanase incident——

"In the Colossus Nanase incident, from the very beginning, she focused everyone's attention on the protagonist of the incident, that is, the weirdness she wanted to 'create' - Colossus Nanase."

"Including connecting Steel Man Nanase with the former idol Nanase Hana Rin who died strangely, covering her with the flames of revenge, giving her enough reasons to be 'violent'...etc."

"Everything revolves around Steel Man Nanase, including rumors that escalate step by step, from the time Steel Man Nanase actually appeared, to the escalation of wounding actions, and finally to the actual taking of lives by himself."

"Have you found it? The difference between the steel man Nanase incident and this time's series of disappearances in thick fog?"

"...the difference?" Apart from Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu, the rest of the detective agency followed Kunikida Doppo's narration, and followed his thinking bit by bit.

It's just that, so far, they can understand every word Kunikida Doppo said, but they can't extract the conclusion he wants to explain.

Everyone thought hard for a while, and suddenly, Tanizaki Junichiro slammed his palm heavily——

"I see! Kunikida-san!"

There was uncontainable excitement in his voice.

"It's the 'protagonist'!"

"What protagonist...?" The others were still at a loss.

Tanizaki Junichiro explained: "It's the protagonist of an urban legend! A certain urban legend, no matter what the content of the story, there must be a protagonist, such as the girl with a gap, such as a balloon with a human head, such as Kisaragi Station... The 'protagonist' does not have to be a monster. It could also be a place, an object, or even a phenomenon.”

"Who is the protagonist in this series of disappearances in thick fog?"

"Dense fog...?" Atsushi Nakajima replied subconsciously.

Tanizaki Junichiro nodded vigorously: "That's right! It's thick fog. But according to the conversation between Mr. Dazai and Mr. Kunikida just now, that person named Sakuragawa Rokka finally wanted to 'create' a brand new 'weird' through urban legends. Who is it again?"

"It's 'Shibusawa Ryuhiko who returned from hell'...Ah!!"

Now everyone understands!

The purpose of Sakuragawa Rokka is to bring Shibusawa Tatsuhiko back from the underworld to the world again.

But look at those "rumors" that are circulating on the Internet and in the streets and alleys of Yokohama!

None of them mentioned the name "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko".

All the rumors are about the thick fog.

Why is that?

Why is the thick fog obviously not the protagonist in Sakuragawa Rokka's "story", but it is treated like the protagonist?

"—It's for building momentum!"

Yosano Akiko's pair of exquisite eyebrows were tightened at this moment.

There was faint worry and sigh in her tone:

"When the aura of the dense fog climbed to a peak, everyone became curious and speculated about the fog that can 'hide people'..."

These curiosity and guesses, under the guidance of Sakuragawa Rokka, went in the direction she wanted——

"At that time, it's time for Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, the real protagonist, to make an appearance."

Everyone couldn't help but gasped when they heard this.

"But... why?"

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help asking.

"Why did she go to such lengths and go through such a long circle before bringing the protagonist of Shibusawa Ryuhiko to the stage?"

Why not focus on Shibusawa Tatsuhiko from the very beginning?

"Because that would make things a lot easier, wouldn't it?"

Facing the boy's question, Osamu Dazai smiled and took out a bright red apple from his pocket.

He casually wiped the apple on the front of his clothes, then stuffed it into his mouth, "Crack"—a crisp bite.

"Yeah, why~"

One of Dazai Osamu's cheeks was slightly puffed up by the stuffed apple.

He looked at the white-haired boy in front of him with a smile, and asked in an extremely gentle tone.

The author has something to say: one thing to say, Dazai’s European and American accent is really inexplicable joy, every time I hear him say “Kuniki↘Ta→kun”, I really want to complain, every time Aton does not Tucao is terrified of me 233333

Kunikida-kun's highlight moment!

Dazai: Chirp, chirp, chirp~【Manual applause.jpg

Kunikida: ...

Kunikida: ......... Give me a big round of applause, you weird bastard! !

Dazai: Hey~(ゝω·)~☆

Liuhua: As a screenwriter, I also want to have a name in this showdown between scripts and scripts!

Qinzi: No, you don't want to. 【Always ready to tear up the script.jpg
