Curse this wonderful world

67: [The Curse of 67]

Afternoon of August 2006, 5

Tokyo, the main hall of the shrine, the Betsuin · Tsuruma.

Decorated and built with the same specifications as the prince's residence or guest house, the duplex villa is located in a corner of the headquarters of the main office of the shrine in Tokyo.Since the spring break, this spacious and luxurious Japanese-Western-style suite has been assigned to Fukaha, and it has become her exclusive residence in the main hall of the shrine.

Just came back from Kyoto.Fukaha didn't go back to school.At this moment, she is standing in the semi-open European-style study room connected to the living room.On the desk in front of him is an open computer.Dazzling characters move on the screen with the cursor, and windows and files are closing or opening quickly.

However, Fukaha himself neither operated the keyboard nor held the mouse.Instead, she stood beside a leather swivel chair.The gorgeous gold tiara and hairpin have been removed, and at this moment, Fukaha is lowering his head and wrestling with the big bow on the waist of the priestess uniform, while talking on the phone with a single earphone cable.

It is completely different from a few hours ago. Even in the red and white maiden attire, Fukaba's aura is soft and lively at this moment. With the voice coming from the other end of the phone, she makes various exclamations and laughter from time to time. Listen to it Then, the fingers resting on the bow stopped.

"Eh?" Shen Yu's eyes widened all of a sudden, and then he laughed, "Hahahaha!", "Did you forget again? They are two idiots!"

"Who says it's not~" the housekeeper on the other end of the phone gloated.

"You will definitely be scolded to death by Teacher Noctua when you go back, right? I don't know why the assistant supervisor will make up this time. However, the assistant supervisor in Shizuoka is not good, and he actually believed Gojo said that he would release the [debt]. I thought this was already Is it an industry consensus? Ms. Kagawa also said that day that the high school issued a notice, stipulating that the auxiliary supervisors must put [accounts] by themselves, and cannot be operated by conjurers, otherwise the bonus will be deducted.”

"...wait a minute," Nitro's voice filled with surprise, "I thought that was their job requirement?"

"No." Shen Yu laughed again, "It's for Gojo."

She explained with a smile, "Look, they can't just say 'I agree with Wujo Wujo to put [accounts] by himself, but he forgot to deduct the money', right? So they have to notify by rectifying and eliminating regulations."

Ms. Xiangchuan is the big sister who is the assistant supervisor of the contrasting cuteness who sent her and Xiaowu before.The eldest sister is a nice person, her inner drama is particularly fun, and her professional ability is also impeccable.Xiao Wu didn't like her very much at that time, but later we had more missions together, and he also thought she was pretty good.After going back and forth, she became acquainted with them, especially with Nitro and her, they were friends who gossip and gossip together.

"This is also..." I didn't think of this at all, and I was speechless, "This is too..."

"Amazing?" "Aren't you ashamed?!"

The next moment, Fukaba's guess and Glass' shout sounded at the same time.The two girls were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed in unison.

After laughing, Shen Yu asked: "Then you will come back tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Nitro said, "I could go back tonight, but that guy Wutiao is afraid of being chased by Teacher Noctua, so he is delaying time and trying to escape reality."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a voice from a distance, "Glass! Who are you talking about escaping! It's not that you want to play with the diva! ——Ah, I want to talk to Xiaomi!" Immediately, the voice on the phone changed. location.Probably because he covered the microphone, Nitro "roared" into the distance in a muffled voice: "I'll talk to whoever answers the call! Don't bother me! If you want to make a call, make it yourself! Xia You, get him away quickly!" "

"Pfft!" Shen Yu couldn't help laughing again, "You guys are so busy, what are you doing?"

"Singing karaoke. Sister Diva's treat - Wujo forced her with 'life-saving grace'."

"Senior sister is so pitiful." Shen Yu sincerely sympathized—Sister Song Ji really didn't like Xiao Wu, so she asked curiously: "Where is Miss Ming? Didn't you go with me?"

"Miss Ming said she has something to do, so she's going back first." Nitrogen paused, then suddenly sighed, "Miss Ming is so handsome, handsome and strong."

Shen Yu immediately interjected: "Glass will become such a handsome woman too! No, ours will definitely be more handsome!"

"You are the only one who can talk." Nitro smiled, and asked, "What about you? Will you be bored at school by yourself?"

"Ah." Fukaba blinked, then smiled, "No. I'm in the main hall of the shrine."

"Huh? Something else?"

"Well. I'll be a little busy recently."

"Okay. I won't ask about your schedule anymore." It's not uncommon for a conjurer to be busy, although Fukaba is a witch and not a conjurer to the main hall of the shrine.But Jia Ruozi is used to this kind of daily life, so he is no doubt there. "Call me before you come back, and I'll pick you up. By the way, we can go shopping together. Last time I saw a bottle of nail polish in five colors. Just take you to try it."

Ice blue is ice blue!What are the five colors?Shen Yu laughed suddenly.The laughter spread to the other end of the phone, making Nitro's voice tinged with laughter.However, seeing the gesture of the student at the same level pushing open the door of the private room, she twitched the corners of her lips, clicked her tongue softly in her heart, and finally said goodbye to the phone.

"That's it. I'll hang up first. Xia You is calling for help. If I don't go, I'm afraid my senior will fight with Wutiao." The brown-haired girl made a joke, "I'll play with you when I get back Son."

"Yeah." Shen Yu looked at the computer screen that had returned to blank and calm at some point, and also smiled, "Goodbye, Nitro."

As she spoke, she took the lead in pulling off the headset and hung up the phone.And at this moment, the young man's soft laughter suddenly came from the computer's speaker.

"Looks like you're doing well at your new school."

The voice came without warning and extremely abruptly, but Shen Yu didn't show any surprise.

"Have you finished debugging?"

"Yeah. There's nothing wrong with the computer."

In order to contact you, I have a new computer specially bought by someone. What's the problem?

But knowing the attributes of the person opposite, Shen Yu didn't say anything.Just said "wait for me".Putting down the phone, she quickly untied the bow, pulled off the scarlet hakama and small sleeves in twos and twos, and ran to the living room to put the clothes on the sofa and put them away—as priestess attire, the priestess clothes cannot be thrown away casually of.Pulling the skirt again, he ran back to the study in only his white undershirt, and stuffed himself into the leather swivel chair.

"So," when it was time to get down to business, Shen Yu suddenly restrained her expression and asked the most urgent question at the moment. "Have you found it? Dazai?"

"Of course." The Yuan-eyed youth in the speaker—or at the other end of the computer network—smiled, "This seems to be the first thing you ask me to do after you leave. In order not to disappoint you, I have You worked hard."

With that said, he didn't keep it up.Under the cold light of the monitor, the young man named Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a light and inexplicable smile on his lips, and a mocking coldness appeared in his iris-colored eyes.

"The magic world is quite interesting. Fukayu, let's talk about the answer first. The astral body is indeed 'unique'."

"Astroplasma is indeed 'one and only'."

In the small and dark file room, the young man's soft voice fell.Then it was no surprise to hear the girl's short gasp coming from the earphones.

What changed at the same time was the expression of Ango Sakaguchi at the door.

Threatened by his former friend & superior & the mafia and current guard, he had to find him a place in the Supernatural Secret Service Section that was "not to be disturbed" and "suitable for fishing and doing some small private affairs". The young man in a suit who was guarding the door of the archives room and writing "surveillance" was actually "releasing the wind" turned his head suddenly, his eyes behind the round lenses suddenly widened, and his face was capitalized with "What the hell?!"

Wait, what did he hear? "Astroplasma"? !Your so-called "little private matter" is to check the privacy and confidentiality of other official organizations?Osamu Dazai!What are you doing? !

However, a certain "target under surveillance" who was still in the whitewashing period did not give face to his supervisor at all.Osamu Dazai didn't even look at Ango Sakaguchi, and raised his eyebrows with a smile, as if the shock he and the girl on the other side of the network in Tokyo wasn't enough, he dropped another bomb.

"And, more than that."

The network defenses of the Tokyo High School and the Conjuration Directors' Association are sloppy, but it is estimated that these ancient organizations have not had the habit of keeping pace with the times, and there is nothing of value to be found in them.So he did the opposite and hacked into the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Tianyuan Barrier is [almost] covering the whole of Japan, and even the Imperial Palace behind the Kikyo Gate is an important existence. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will never allow the magic circle to hide information in this regard.

So it was, "I found some interesting stuff."

Facing the screen quickly switching interfaces, Osamu Dazai clicked on a document, and the huge Ministry of the Interior logo and the bright red words Confidential jumped out immediately——As for the assistant officer of a special department directly under the Ministry of the Interior, he was standing not far away What... is he the kind of person who cares about such things?

of course not.Who cares about Ango, a social animal who is just a little bit better than a dog?

Osamu Dazai smiled inwardly, and confidently read the contents of the document under Ango Sakaguchi's increasingly frightened eyes.

"1000 years ago, it was the noble daughter of the Fujiwara family who was selected as the astral body. Therefore, it was also recorded in history. However, Ji Jun was unlucky and died at the age of seven. However, in Tianyuan When performing the assimilation ceremony, the Yusanjia at that time still provided a qualified 'star plasma body'."

"Then, it was 500 years ago. This time it was more thorough. One month after the 'star plasma body' was born, his whole family died overnight, including himself. Including the conjurer who served and guarded the star plasma body in the mansion at that time All the servants and servants died. However, after that..."

"'The astral body has entrusted the thoughts of this world to the shaman maiden', 'Happily assimilated with Tianyuan'..."

"BINGO." Dazai Osamu bent his eyes, "teaching": "So, Fukaha, what do we know?"

"'Astroplasma' is the only one, but the person who can become an 'asterplasma' is not the only one. There can only be one 'asteloma' at a time." The voice of the girl on the other side of the phone tensed, "But even The current 'asterplasma' dies, and a new 'asterplasma' emerges."

Good girl.Osamu Dazai's expression softened, but his words were merciless.

"so?"

"I was wrong——Dazai, my plan was wrong. I thought..."

"Wait a minute." After interrupting the girl, the black-haired, kite-eyed young man suddenly raised his head and held the microphone, and waved to the friend and caretaker at the door, "Anwu, you go out first."

The contemptuous and casual tone, the posture like coaxing a chicken to chase a dog, clearly showed the attitude of "I'm going to say something wrong next".Seeing his friend's familiar manner, Ango Sakaguchi twitched his entire face, and the brows twitched uncontrollably: "Dazai!"

You guys figure out your identity!Don't talk about making trouble!Strictly speaking, you have no human rights now!

However, Osamu Dazai just raised his eyebrows. "You know it's 'strictly'. Ango." He understood the expression of Ango Sakaguchi so well that he could think of what was going on in his mind with his knees.But, "You also know that if I really want to do something, you can't stop it?"

"..."

"So it doesn't matter if you're here or not. Rather, if you stay and listen, you must be prepared to be deliberately misled or used by me."

"..."

"Still say~" Osamu Dazai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned forward in a very cute way: "Ango! Do you want to participate too? Wow! That's really great! Hey! If this is the case, you should have said it earlier! Of course I won’t refuse if the Assistant Officer of the Secret Service Division wants to participate! Come here~Ango! Let me introduce you! This time, Fukaha’s plan is super~~level~~ interesting! She actually intends to sabotage—”

"boom!"

What interrupted him was the heavy sound of the iron door of the archive room smashing against the wall and the distorted sound of Ango Sakaguchi gnashing his teeth.

"15 minutes! Dazai!" The young assistant officer tried hard to suppress the urge to swear, and raised his hand very deliberately to look at his watch, "I'm going to the bathroom, and I'll be back in 15 minutes!"

As he said that, he gave Osamu Dazai a hard look—you bastard, give me enough time!

What responded to him was Osamu Dazai's standard light smile. "Of course~" the kite-eyed youth shrugged, "Hey~ Anwu, don't worry. I'm very well-behaved now."

——I will believe your evil?

Ango Sakaguchi raised his hand and pressed his forehead, only to feel a headache.However, just as Osamu Dazai himself said, no one in Yokohama dared to say that he could stop "what Osamu Dazai wanted to do".Even, preventing this behavior itself may be in his calculations.

——At least, the current Osamu Dazai has a bottom line.Sakaguchi comforted himself.Otherwise, he didn't need to spend the past two years to clean up his crimes.What's more, Oda Sakunosuke is in the Armed Detective Agency, no matter how big things he wants to do, he will definitely be able to pick himself and Yokohama out.

And the girl on the other side of the network... Even though Ango Sakaguchi himself was the "instigator" of the incident that year, he has always been grateful for the girl's behavior that was no different from betrayal.If it weren't for her, he might have lost his two best friends at the same time.

——Or, as a human being, Ango Sakaguchi's only friend...

As for whether other organizations will suffer—sorry, he is just an ordinary civil servant with supernatural powers, and the matter of conjurers is no longer under his jurisdiction.

Thinking of this, Mr. the former triple agent and now the assistant officer of the Supernatural Secret Service Division suppressed his conscience, let out a long breath, and went out while pressing his aching stomach.

I also didn't forget to close the door for a certain ex-mafia who is still in the whitewashing process.

Looking at the iron door that was tightly closed, Osamu Dazai smiled slightly, and put down his hand covering the microphone.

——You have passed, Ango.

Thinking of this, I added a note to my other plan in my heart.Osamu Dazai restrained his smile, and seamlessly joined the previous conversation, "Well. You are wrong."

"Fukaha, I can roughly guess your plan. Because 'assimilation' requires voluntary. So just say she doesn't want to—you didn't [see] at all, did you?"

"No." Sure enough, the girl who was waiting quietly at the other end of the network immediately said, "I thought it was unnecessary. Of course I know they can use hypnotics or other brainwashing methods. That's why I deliberately got stuck at this time."

"But you thought there was a backup of the 'star plasma'." The information was checked by Osamu Dazai.Three hours is enough for him to sort out all the surrounding information and the ins and outs, "The day of 'Assimilation' has been set, there is not much time to waste, compared to using means on that girl, of course it is directly picked from the backup A voluntary one is more convenient—you think so?"

"...Yes." In front of Tokyo's desk, Fukaha lowered her eyes and bit her lips.

"However, the intelligence, or your speculation is wrong."

"...Yes." She believed too much in the information she got from the original work.

"So your actions put that girl in a more unfavorable situation—no, it's actually not that big of a difference." Considering that the "astral body" was going to die anyway, whether she wanted it or not was actually the same.Everyone is happy if you want to, but if you don't want to...

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said, "Use waste."

"'It's been cultivated until now, maybe try to persuade it. If she still doesn't assimilate on time in the end, then brainwash her again at that time. If this doesn't work, just kill her and wait for the new astral body Appear.'"

Dazai Osamu said without emotion, and curled his lips, "There is no need to do anything special, and there is no need to postpone the assimilation. No one is allowed to attend that ceremony, right? Then as long as people are arranged around the day, Catch or kill her if you see her come out alive—Fukaha, you should be familiar with such methods."

It's no different from the mafia's use of waste for traitors.Because it is the "star plasma body" that "breaches the contract" first, this method is also more "pretty" than the first to strike.The only difference is that the "star plasma body" is much more important to the magic world than a mere traitor or two to the organization-but even if the Tianyuan barrier has many uses, it "seems" that it is vital to this country What about alternatives?

This is what his little girl is going to do.What's more, this is Yokohama.

"They will do that." Because Fukaha went to the high school.Long before checking the "star plasma body", Osamu Dazai had a list of all the members of the Conjuration Directorate in his mind-in fact, he had the basic information of the conjurers and assistant supervisors affiliated to the Tokyo High School.To put it bluntly, if we only talk about the superficial content and do not involve the knowledge of magic power, Fukaba may not have as much understanding of the world of magic as Osamu Dazai.

"So, it's very easy to save that girl." Dazai Osamu laughed, folded his hands, propped his chin, and tilted his head at the screen that didn't reflect the girl opposite.

"Just kill her first."
