The Magician's Skyfall

The meeting room was full of people.

The so-called London Abnormal Affairs Management Committee is a comprehensive meeting that gathers various departments.

In addition to the superhumans from the clock tower and the magician from the clock tower, there were also the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, etc., and even the affairs officers from Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales also attended.

After all, magicians do not know national borders, and the issue of foreign magicians can be left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the troubles caused by magicians in Northern Ireland and other places are naturally under the control of the United Kingdom.

The person who presides over the meeting is the treasurer of the cabinet.

The reason is also very simple. The Minister of Finance needs to allocate funds to the Clock Tower, and the mess caused by the magician of the Clock Tower also requires the Minister of Finance to allocate funds to certain departments separately.

The Minister of Finance first delivered a simple speech. Under the Queen's rule, everyone is a compatriot, adhering to the purpose of harmony, friendship and common progress. Please speak freely.

After the Minister of Finance finished speaking, Agatha fired first. She submitted a document. She believed that magicians, as citizens of the country, needed to register basic information and provide property and tax certificates.

Weber immediately objected. Magicians follow the principle of secrecy. If everything is exposed, it does not conform to the unspoken rules of magic.

More importantly, it is said that the owner of the clock tower has been the same person from the beginning of its establishment to the present, up to 2000 years old, how could it be possible to follow the laws set by ordinary human society?

"The age of the magicians is a mystery. They may have existed before the British Kingdom appeared. With all due respect, what qualifications do you have to face those ancient existences?"

Moreover, many magicians have two identities. Sitting next to Weber, Mrs. Inolay, the monarch, is the controller of several large media companies. Of course, it is impossible for her to attend the board of directors as a magician.

Weber and Agatha get into a heated argument.

Shakespeare kept his eyes down and did not speak. Mrs. Inole was wearing a beret with a black veil hanging down her hat, so she couldn't see her expression clearly, but Shakespeare could feel that the lady's eyes had never left him.

Coincidentally, Osamu Dazai also looked at Akamatsu Ryu with a smile all the time, Akamatsu Ryu took advantage of the people around him not paying attention and glared at Osamu Dazai, Osamu Dazai took the opportunity to point his fingers at the white notebook in his hand.

Akamatsu Ryu didn't understand, but in the next second, Osamu Dazai tore off a notebook page and turned it over on purpose.

Akamatsu Ryu suddenly realized that Osamu Dazai was implying that he could use that page to speed up the conversation, and even lead the direction of the conversation.

Akamatsu Ryu glanced at Osamu Dazai with a half-smile.

Only half of the pages of the book he got from Zhongya in the Central Plains were usable, so he wouldn't write on it rashly.

but……

Speaking of that half page, Akamatsu Ryu did have some ideas.

Although Ryu Akamatsu has signed a magic contract with Osamu Dazai, some things cannot be postponed.

For example, find a way to take away the magic seal from Osamu Dazai.

Last time, Ryu Akamatsu got the memory in the sapphire through the resonance of the magic engraving, but the magic engraving is still in it. Since the first meeting on a rainy night, Ryu Akamatsu has not felt the resonance power of the magic engraving from Osamu Dazai. .

Osamu Dazai lives in Akamatsu Ryu's house, and Akamatsu Ryu can guarantee that Dazai Osamu did not carry a magic seal with him.

So here comes the question, where did Osamu Dazai hide the gem with the magic seal?

The book page is invalid for Dazai Osamu, but Akamatsu Ryu can write the people around Dazai Osamu on the page. If Dazai Osamu thinks that everyone around him is not safe, will he take the gem with him?

Akamatsu turned around and remembered the port organization in Yokohama, and Osamu Dazai might have sent the gem back by courier.

If it was someone else, Akamatsu Ryu would not believe that the other party would be so hearty about international mailing, but if it was Osamu Dazai...

Dazai Osamu's smuggling fleet is docked at major docks around the world, and it seems that it is not difficult to carry a small box containing gems.

The most troublesome thing is that if Osamu Dazai finds that there is a problem with the behavior of the people around him, he can correct it through the [Book].

The more Akamatsu thought about it, the more bald he became, he didn't pay attention to what Weber and Agatha were arguing about, his mind was full of the fairy Dazai who was opposite him.

Akamatsu thought for a long time before preparing to write on that page.

Maybe he could ask Fyodor for help.

Osamu Dazai propped his chin with one hand, he watched Akamatsu Ryu's movements with a smile, he knew Akamatsu Ryu would use the pages, after all the pages were really useful.

Osamu Dazai thought casually, what would Akamatsu Ryu write?

Although he hinted that Akamatsu Ryu can use the pages of the book for magicians, but for Akamatsu Ryu, the most important thing is the magic seal, right?

This is not acceptable, the magic engraving cannot be given out.

Concerned about the consequences of Akamatsu Ryu's concentrating on intrigue - the world next door has already set an excellent example - Osamu Dazai decides to interrupt Akamatsu Ryu.

Osamu Dazai kicked Agatha's chair abruptly.

At this time, Agatha was trying to make the clock tower responsible—what if magicians from the European continent teamed up with people with different abilities from their own countries and went to England to make trouble—she was caught off guard, and Agatha immediately understood. When hesitating, announce the suspension of the meeting and each take a 15-minute break.

Mrs. Inolay, who hadn't spoken much, walked towards Shakespeare immediately. Her tone was so gentle that it almost dripped: "May I have the honor to invite you to have a cup of coffee?"

How could Shakespeare refuse, especially when invited by a lady?

He immediately smiled and said no problem.

Immediately afterwards, Weber also walked in front of Agatha. He wanted to invite the reasoning queen to talk about why Conan Doyle didn't come.

Agatha subconsciously glanced at Osamu Dazai, Osamu Dazai gestured for the last word, and then Osamu Dazai took the initiative to find Akamatsu Ryu.

Akamatsu looked at Osamu Dazai suspiciously, what does this guy want to do?

Yvette abandoned Chisongliu with a wink, and followed Weber.

... I always feel that the black-haired man in the white suit looks at me coldly. Is this adultery?

Osamu Dazai took Akamatsu Ryu into a private conference room.

He blinked at Akamatsu Ryu, Akamatsu Ryu raised his eyebrows slightly, he raised his hand and pushed, the diamond bracelet on his wrist turned into dust, he released a hollow protective barrier, except where Dazai Osamu was, the rest of the room Isolated by magic.

In this way, even if there are watchers, they can only see Osamu Dazai standing in the middle of the room, but not Akamatsu Ryu hidden in the barrier.

Osamu Dazai was a little upset, damn it, he couldn't sit on the sofa with Ryu Akamatsu, but who made him invalidate his ability.

Akamatsu Ryu stared at Osamu Dazai warily: "What are you doing?"

Osamu Dazai rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Agatha is going to fall into your trap, I can't interrupt, so I can only suspend the meeting."

"Conflict among magicians is a very common daily routine. Agatha wants you to help snipe foreign magicians. Wouldn't it be a good thing for you?"

Osamu Dazai knew the Clock Tower better than Akamatsu Ryu imagined: "It is impossible for you to submit a list of magicians, or if you can submit a list of teachers in the Clock Tower, or a list of students, it is already good."

Akamatsu Ryu sneered and said, "The authenticity of the list should also be questioned."

Osamu Dazai nodded with a smile. He put his fingers over his mouth and made a booing gesture: "This is something Agatha needs to consider."

It is very kind of him, a foreign ability user, to help Agatha.

"But for now, the Clock Tower and the Clock Tower have a mutual interest, don't they?"

Osamu Dazai said: "European spies are here, you can share."

Akamatsu frowned slightly after hearing this, why did Osamu Dazai repeat what he already knew?

In the next second, he was so blessed that he understood Dazai Osamu's meaning: "In the face of huge interests, magicians will fall into infighting. Do you want to..."

So, is Osamu Dazai's goal actually a magician?

Akamatsu Ryu looked at Osamu Dazai in surprise, when he thought it was crazy enough for Fyodor to provoke the two forces to fight each other, but Osamu Dazai actually wanted to be an oriole!He wants to swallow part of the magician's wealth and power!

Akamatsu Ryu couldn't help asking: "Why do you bother? Is it just because you're bored?"

What is the purpose of Osamu Dazai coming to harm the clock tower?

Osamu Dazai sighed pretending to be sad: "The expenses are too high recently, I have to find a way to make some money."

Of course Osamu Dazai can't say the real reason, how to attract a magician?

Money is just a stepping stone, what's next?

Magic and mystery?Akamatsu Ryu is indeed obsessed with magic research, but considering Akamatsu Ryu can chat with Fyodor, Akamatsu Ryu must have his own ideas in his heart.

No matter what Akamatsu wants to do, he needs strength.

That being the case, obtaining a certain right to speak in the Clock Tower and forming alliances with some big families for mutual benefit and win-win results is what Osamu Dazai must do.

Osamu Dazai has a [book] in his hand. He knows how Osamu Dazai in another world built the clock tower and the clock tower, but this time there is one more player in the game, Fyodor and the transcendents of various countries, and one more Akamatsu Ryu , the game is finally not so boring, even because the rewards are too generous, it makes Osamu Dazai more patient and eager to try.

And Akamatsu Ryu was a little happy when he heard that Osamu Dazai wanted to concentrate on making money.

After all, the money that Osamu Dazai earned was to reimburse Akamatsu Ryu for daily magic consumables. If Osamu Dazai made money, Akamatsu Ryu's reimbursement amount would increase.

and……

Akamatsu Ryu looked at Dazai Osamu, and said sincerely: "It's good, there must be some goals in life, and you look much more lively now than when you first came to London."

After hearing this, Osamu Dazai looked up at Akamatsu Ryu, and asked with a smile, "Really? Can you tell me more about it?"

Akamatsu Ryu commented fairly and objectively: "Without the cover of the bandage, you look a little clearer."

After a pause, I have to admit one thing, Dazai Osamu's small face is indeed in line with Akamatsu Ryu's oriental aesthetics: "But you are not suitable for wearing white."

Osamu Dazai looked down at his own attire. The other Osamu Dazai in the magic seal was praised for looking good in a white suit. Why didn't he suit him?

Akamatsu Ryu seemed to see the doubts and depression in Osamu Dazai's heart, and there was a little smile in his eyes.

"As I said before, you are not him, you are yourself, even if you are alone, but at this moment you have different characteristics."

Akamatsu said seriously: "You are still more suitable for black. The way of life you chose has made you who you are now, and you are also the Osamu Dazai I know."

On that dark rainy night, the Dazai Osamu Akamatsu saw was as cold and silent as rain, with a carelessness in his chilling, obviously thin and weak, but he had a sense of strength and indifference to everything.

"You don't need to cover up the death and coldness on your body. You have a strong sense of existence like that. As long as you are not blind, you will be attracted to you."

Speaking of this, Chimatsu Liu suddenly thought of something, he said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to deceive Agatha and Mrs. Inole, just pretend I didn't say anything."

When Osamu Dazai heard this, his heart beat violently.

Everyone wants to be unique and irreplaceable.

His eyes widened slightly, and his iris-colored pupils rolled around, revealing the coldness and gloom he had hidden naturally.

Dazai Osamu's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Only this time, there was a little more truth in his smile.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help blurting out: "Then are you attracted to me?"

The next second, Osamu Dazai realized his recklessness, and he deliberately said in a complaining tone: "Is it because I have a strong sense of existence that you always target me?"

After hearing this, Chisong Liu's expression changed slightly, and he also complained: "Don't say that you seem innocent, you are the one who troubled me first, and being stared at by a strong man like you makes me tense all the time, and I also have a headache!"

Osamu Dazai has been in a high position for many years, and his body is full of darkness and blood.

Akamatsu Ryu is good at capturing hidden breaths and information, and he can clearly see how terrifying the energy of the black-haired youth in front of him is.

With people like this walking around, it would be hell if Akamatsu Ryu could relax.

Besides, Osamu Dazai is still holding a magic seal, of course Akamatsu Ryu cannot let his guard down.

After hearing this, Osamu Dazai was startled, thinking about everything.

"That's it, I understand."

Is this the instinct of vigilance that arises in the bottom of my heart when the prey is hunted?

Osamu Dazai reviewed himself, he was too eager and too close, which aroused Akamatsu Ryu's instinctive defense instead.

After thinking about everything, Osamu Dazai smiled: "Let's let the past go, I paid the price anyway."

Osamu Dazai put aside his messy thoughts, and decided to change his approach.

He asked Akamatsu Ryu: "If I want to find someone to discuss cooperation with, do you have any recommendations?"
