attack on rotten oranges

"Jie will die." Shuhei Bunbu, who had been tidied up by Yue Bunbu, lay on the floor and said sadly.

"Didn't you ask for it yourself?" Xia Youjie sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Bunbu Shuhei, not intending to pull this dramatist.

"Can't we talk about it? Do you have to make a fuss?" The black-haired boy lightly kicked Bunbu Shuhei's arm with his toe, signaling him to get up.

"Too--embarrassing." Bunbu Shuhei just followed Xia Youjie's movements and said lazily while lying on the floor.

"Can I still rush in front of her and tell her 'you are only seven years old now, and there is no problem waiting for me to raise you'?"

"What kind of fresh and refined death technique is that?" The guy who just made a big death sighed.

Bunbu Yue's young shell is actually a 19-year-old soul. If it were placed in the magic world, it would be the age of graduating from a high school.But the maturity of the mind and the urgency of revenge, both under the interference of the weak body, turned into a cloud that weighed on Bunbu Youhua's heart.

Although the affairs that Wenbu Yue helped Osamu Dazai handle in Yokohama are just some trivial matters within her ability, but Wenbu Shuhei still saw some signs from it——

My sister is anxious because she cannot give herself specific help, and even needs help from others to ensure her survival.

But in fact, the existence of Bunbu Yue alone is enough to support Bunbu Shuhei to go on steadfastly.

Shuhei Bunbu just used a joke to remind his sister of the limitations of objective facts, and asked her not to treat him harshly.

But Yue Bunbu insisted on "I will always be an older sister" and maintained her strong style.

However, Shuhei Bunbu raised his hand and rubbed his sore ears, thinking with joy that his sister finally accepted the paper bag—but it was not lucky money, but as a "tribute" from the younger brother to the older sister. It can be regarded as a concession and a preliminary consensus has been reached.

I am already a social animal, if two social animals are born out of a pair of siblings, wouldn't it be an extremely sad story?Elder sister should learn from Qihai...

Bunbu Shuhei let go of his eyes.

"I really doubt that the IQs of families in the magic world have been divided by your Ministry of Culture and those behind the scenes." Having a preliminary understanding of the tentative confrontation between the siblings, Xia Youjie sighed, and finally bent over Shuhei Bunbu stood up.

"Oh, by the way, there is also Zhuyuan." The black-haired leader thought of the smiling Zhuyuan patriarch who claimed to be a "businessman", "But you were also a family a thousand years ago."

"No." Bunbu Shuhei came back to his senses, and said righteously, "It has nothing to do with the Bunbu, it's just that my sister and I are exceptionally good."

"I am considered by Ranpo-sama to be barely qualified as a third-rate detective!"

"..." The seemingly not-so-high evaluation was in stark contrast to the gray-haired boy's complacent look, Xia Youjie was a little speechless.

However, he thought for a while that Edogawa Ranpo's wisdom was far beyond that of ordinary people, and Shuhei Bunbube's complacency seemed to be understandable.

"Okay, okay, third-rate detective." Xia Youjie stuffed him into the kotatsu, "I'm going to see the children."

He got up and went to see if Nanako and Mimiko were asleep.

Bunbu Shuhei, who was still in pain, slowly squirmed a few times, and took a comfortable position in the kotatsu—it was impossible for him to check on Bunbu Yue if he was asleep, and it would never be possible for a lifetime.

Regardless of appearance, since Bunbu Shuhei has reached an agreement with Bunbu Yue, he will definitely treat his sister as an independent and almost adult woman... unless he wants to suffer the second fat beating tonight.

Bunbe Shuhei looked at the doorway where the black-haired boy disappeared, his pale golden pupils were full of interest——

Before, he had equated Xia Youjie with his old father Oda Zuo in his heart, but now, he had to admit that there were still some differences between the two of them.

The experience of a killer in his early years, and the process of being influenced by a novel and finally becoming a novelist, made Oda Sakunosuke focus more on the safety and material supply of the prostitutes, and usually respect the children's own decisions after serious thinking in life. choose.

So at that time, even Shuhei Bunbu and Osamu Dazai often mingled in and out of dangerous places, Katsumi once followed the crowd and shouted "I will become Mafia in the future", and Sakunosuke Oda did not express any obvious objection after confirming the safety at that time.

And Xia Youjie... Bunbu Shuhei smiled secretly. Based on his meticulous care of the two children, one could feel that he was more like a well-organized and worried parent who would arrange everything for the children.

He heard Xia Youjie's careful opening of the door at the end of the corridor, and then he held his breath to hear the soft sound of the other's soles slowly lowering and touching the floor.

Shuhei Bunbu can imagine how the black-haired boy carefully came to the children's bed, gently straightened their crooked sleeping positions, covered their exposed hands or feet, and tucked up the quilt for them to guard the winter night Silent and warm sweet dreams...

Xia Youjie has always been a person who is good at taking care of others, this is true for Riko Amane, this is true for Haihara Nanami, and it is the same for this pair of girls.

It is said that he hates ordinary people, but in fact Jie is still deeply influenced by ordinary people. It is not easy to produce such a warm family in the deformed magic world...

No, but I really look forward to the possible collision between worried parents and rebellious children in a few years.

The gray-haired boy forcibly withdrew the slight movement in his heart, changed his mind, and smiled maliciously.

His intuition told Shuhei Bunbube that thinking about it further would cause him to shake his current state, so the gray-haired boy gathered his thoughts, like a little panda getting down from a treetop, and chose another bush to climb.

At this moment, Bunbu Shuhei tried to break away from the shackles of his friend status for a short time, and returned to the way he was covered in thorns before entering the high school and regarded everything as a pawn.

Jie... It seems that before and after being affected, he insists on implementing a certain "meaning"... Is he an altruist?

When the higher-ups plot against Jie, it is true that there are many people around Jie, but there is almost nothing against him...

Thinking of this, Bunbu Shuhei unconsciously felt a little unhappy, it seemed that he was determined to win because his understanding of Xia Youjie was not as good as their enemy.

No, no, obviously I know Jie better!Shuhei thought.In just two days in Yokohama, Jie and I solved the psychological problems and avoided the enemy's trap.

And even before leaving the high school, Jie still remembered to help me obtain key clues for my plan... I still have the best relationship with Jie!

Shuhei Bunbu, who had been beaten up by his sister so that his emotions were infinitely closer to his childhood, thought confidently, but failed to notice that his relationship with Xia Youjie was not comparable to the relationship between the behind-the-scenes and Xia Youjie at all. sex.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Youjie who came back, was dazzled by Shuhei Bunbube's light golden eyes, which seemed to be a wild animal ambushing in the grass during the foraging process.

"Ah...I'm thinking about the Cursed Embryo [Nine Phase Diagram]."

Bunbu Shuhei reacted quickly and recovered from his imperfect bystander state.

"Still thinking about your cursed object's plan?" Xia Youjie pushed the orange compote on the table to Bunbu Shuhei.

"The reason is clear, but it is indeed a bit disturbing if it drags on for a long time."

"This is because Jie, who is the key victim, is still on our side, and the King of Gold is not in too much of a hurry." Shuhei Bunbe rubbed a smooth-skinned orange in his hand.

"It's all Wujo Satoru's fault." He complained, "When I look at oranges now, I think of the wrinkles on those old guys' faces."

"..." Xia Youjie also lost his appetite when he said that.

He threw the orange back on the table with a full face of disgust: "It will be a few months before the King of Gold finds out who will be the victim."

"That's right...Although the Cursed Embryo [Nine Phase Diagram] should have no special requirements for the container..."

"But we still need to find so-called volunteers and sign a donation agreement." Wenbu Shuhei sighed, "Should be selected from some criminals, and then exchange benefits."

"This is different from my sister's situation. It must be clean and beautiful."

Bunbu Yue’s resurrection was based on the fact that the curse master used her ashes, and Bunbu Shuhei retaliated by using the other’s body for incarnation, but the curse fetus [Nine Phases Map] cannot just find a criminal they identify to perform the ritual.

"There are not many curse objects handed down from the Heian period to the present, and they are related to human beings. The only ones that can basically guarantee communication after receiving flesh are the fingers and curse fetus [Nine Phases Diagram] of the two-faced Su Nuo."

"The two-faced Su Nuo's fingers are too toxic, and it is almost impossible to succeed in incarnation. Even if he succeeds, those deeds prove that he cannot cooperate with us at all."

"So the choice is only in the [Nine Phases Diagram]." Bunbu Shuhei rested his chin on his right hand, meditating.

"In order to ensure safety and obtain information with the greatest efficiency, the King of Gold's final decision must be to only accept the [Inflation Phase], one of the [Nine Phase Diagrams] of the flesh-cursed fetus."

"That is also the one with the most complete development and the closest to human beings."

***

Everything is as expected.

After the New Year, the Takehara family and the Wenbu family successively received the news that Gojo Satoru had "passionately visited" the Zenyuan family with "the son of the useless Zenyuan family" on the early morning of the New Year.

It was already three months later when the King of Gold conveyed the permission of the cursed object's incarnation plan.

Bunbu Shuhei and Takenari followed Kunisuneji who was wearing a [rabbit] uniform into the laboratory.

They are in the Nanakamado Chemical Therapy Research Center, which is the place under the jurisdiction of the King of Gold to conduct research and preliminary education for capable people, and it is also the place where the experiment of incarnation of cursed objects is carried out.

"This is Mr. Takashi Mitsuchi, the person in charge." [Rabbit] introduced to the conjurers.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a magician in Xiazhuyuan." Zhuyuan, the older of the two, took a step forward and greeted the tall middle-aged man with a smile.

The middle-aged man in a doctor's white coat only nodded slightly, and let go of his palm after touching Takehara for a moment.

His eyes were more focused on Bunbu Shuhei.

"Sorry, the ceremony needs to be kept secret, please avoid it for a while." The gray-haired boy acted like a villain and kicked out the person in charge of this place.

When Takashi Mitsuchi left the laboratory with a gloomy face, Shuhei Bunbube opened the window and let in a boy with flamboyant white hair.

Because there is no precedent before, the attitude of the Mantra Embryo [Nine Phase Diagram] towards human beings cannot be determined, so the King of Gold asked them to make the most rigorous preparations.

Therefore, this group of young people who wanted to subvert the magic world came up with a luxurious lineup of one super magician and two first-level magicians.

"The cursed thing is just flesh." Gojo Satoru came out sneakily because he needed to keep it secret. He took off his sunglasses, muttered irritably, and raised his hand repeatedly to rub his temples.

"What happened to Satoru?" Bunbu Shuhei asked in a low voice.

"Here—" Gojo Gojo gestured, "There is a problem below."

Within the visual range of [Six Eyes], the abnormal situation underground in this research center is as dazzling as a lighthouse in the dark.

Bunbu Shuhei raised his eyebrows a little, upholding his trust in [Six Eyes], he began to investigate the surrounding environment calmly.

Fortunately, this place also serves as an education center, with a large number of texts. As Shuhei Bunbu's mantra spreads, his understanding of this building is gradually deepening.

"Excuse me." After detecting anomalies in the underground part, Shuhei Bunbube turned to the [Rabbit] who had not yet left, with a gentle and polite tone, "Is the King of Gold still allowing human experiments?"

The gray-haired boy in the center of the mantra spider web stared sharply into the opponent's eyes.

……

Suddenly learning that the director of the research institute trusted by his side is involved in human experiments, [Rabbit]'s expression is not very good.

However, this twists and turns will not affect the business of the conjurers today.

"Who is this?" Gojo Satoru looked at the thin man on the operating table who was fully anesthetized and whose chest rose and fell slightly.

"A serial killer who tortures and kills children and is also addicted to hallucinogenic drugs." Shuhei Bunbube flipped through the report.

"He has a pair of sons and daughters, and he hopes that his criminal record will not appear in the files of his sons and daughters in exchange for donated remains." [Rabbit] explained.

"People who have children torture and kill other people's children?" Wenbu Shuhei smiled mockingly, put on the mask and gloves, and took out the cursed object from the jar.

"..." Shuhei Shuhei was shivered by the strange touch in his hand, quickly pulled out the opponent's trachea and a series of monitoring instruments, and simply and rudely stuffed the curse object into the opponent's mouth.

He shook off the gloves stained with unknown liquid and retreated to the corner of the room.

Gojo Satoru, Takenari, Bunbu Shuhei, and 【Rabbit】occupied one direction, vigilantly monitoring the operating bed in the middle of the laboratory.

"It's started." Gojo Satoru, who is most sensitive to spell power, reminded.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, the human body on the operating table twitched for a while, and with the jaw-dropping sound of skeletal muscle reorganization, it gradually formed a new look...

Still in human form.Bunbu Shuhei quickly judged.This is a good start.

The human body after the curse object's flesh suddenly opened its eyes, and the enchantment laid by Zhu Yuan lit up instantly, and the [No Lower Limit Art] and [Condensation] were also subconsciously activated.

"The other party is [Red Blood Manipulation Technique], and the previous hallucinogenic drugs and anesthesia have no effect." Bunbu Shuhei used [Condensation] to protect Zhu Yuan and himself.

"We are not hostile, Mr. [Inflation]." Seeing that the other party has no desire to attack, [Rabbit] stepped away from Wujo Wu's protection range.

However, the attention of the "man" with the obvious curse pattern on his face was not attracted by [Rabbit], he looked straight at Shuhei Bunbube who was standing in front of Takehara——

"You have my brother's breath on you."

"where are they?"

……

The development of the matter was smoother and more peaceful than what Shuhei Bunbu had imagined. He did not expect that the [bad appearance] brought about by the failure of the [bulging phase] would become a sharp weapon to appease the other party just in case.

As long as the sealed container of [Bad Form] is placed in front of the bulging figure, the man with the strange hairstyle will know everything about the conjurers' inquiries.

"Kamo Kenren is a man with a strange suture on his forehead?" A certain string in Shuhei Bunbube's heart was plucked.

"Look, are the scars similar to those of these two people?"

The gray-haired boy found out the photos of the infiltrator of the port Mafia in the old leader's time and the host of the Central Plains Chuya's supernatural experiment, and handed them over...

***

The bulge brings the final piece of the puzzle of truth.

There is a huge conspiracy in the world of conjuration.

Its masterminds include [Tianyuan], who is the core of the enchantment in the magic world, and the behind-the-scenes who cooperated with the Green King and may be the surviving Kamo Xianlun thousands of years ago.They took advantage of [Tianyuan]'s dominant position to increase the concentration of magic power in the island and created an environment conducive to the development of magic.

And they also have a super-level magic spirit that has hatched, and the technique is likely to be related to human body transformation...

The King of Gold sat at the head of the long table, and the window behind him was covered with dark clouds.

There were lightning flashes in the thick clouds, and the whole city was bathed in the torrential rain, but it was still running silently and tightly.

At this moment, the so-called aging caused by the passage of time is just a little rust on the bronzes, which cannot break the slightest majesty, but only adds a bit of precipitation to it.

Even though it seems to everyone that Lu Dajue, the head of the country, has begun to move towards the end of his life, even though there is a younger new king watching secretly... He is still holding the sword of Damocles on his head, suppressing [Delei] Stone Slate], the ruler of the country who checks and balances the kings.

"The experiments behind the scenes may involve transforming ordinary people into conjurers." Bunbu Shuhei has a seat second only to the King of Gold on this long table, "This will shake the status of the conjurer family, So the behind-the-scenes will not completely ally with the family."

"So they are just using the relationship."

All eyes on the long table were focused on the gray-haired boy.

Most of the people present here are the insiders of Shuhei's revenge plan. When the figure of the young man is projected into their eyes, the sense of impermanence and absurdity of fate arises spontaneously——

The instigator of everything could never have imagined that it was an inconspicuous part of his plan that could not even occupy a place in his heart due to the death of Bunbu Yue, which brought them the current crisis.

"At present, there are three problems that we need to solve first."

"First, break the [Tian Yuan] barrier and ensure social stability before the mana level drops to a normal level."

"Second, fight against the alliance of the upper strata of the magic world and the Green King formed by the behind-the-scenes."

"Third, find and exorcise the key super-spell spirits in the opponent's plan."

On the long table of the meeting, representatives of all capable people in the island gathered——

Kings: [King of Gold] Guochang Lu Dajue, [King of Colorless] Sanlun Yiyan, [King of Red] Zhou Fangzun.

People with supernatural powers: [Supernatural Special Affairs Division] Taneda Santou, [Hound Dog] Fukuchi Sakurachi, [Armed Detective Agency] Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Conjurer: The heir of the Gojo family [no lower limit spell] Gojo Satoru, the leader of the Panxing Sect [spell manipulation] Xia Youjie, the head of the Wenbu family [spell manipulation] Shuhei Bunbu, the head of the Takehara family, master in enchantment The bamboo principle.

"First, I have a proposal." Wenbu Shuhei raised his hand.

"Due to the self-styled and closed world of the magic world, our understanding of the magic power is actually very shallow."

"In order to deal with the problems after the enchantment disappears, to get rid of the research advantages accumulated by the behind-the-scenes for thousands of years, and to suppress the opponent in terms of cutting-edge combat power..."

"Can we ask the First King to return to the ground temporarily?"

The author has something to say:

Stop pretending, Gugu Whale has a showdown, Gugu Whale is mentally handicapped!

Cuckoo whales live not in fish tanks, but in the Mariana Trench of Jinjiang IQ.

Whales are silly, really.

Whale only knew that the manuscript would be lost if it was not saved, but it did not expect that if the device was changed during the codeword, it would also be wrong...

WPS is not synchronized between different devices, and needs to be updated manually... Last night, the Gugu Whale Tablet ran out of battery, and it was almost the last point to use the mobile phone code.

But Guguwhale forgot that the last time the mobile phone opened was a semi-finished draft... So I used the code of the semi-finished product to end it and posted it...

Let's change the name to Demented Whale in the future...
