i lied to the whole world

The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became tense, and the people with supernatural powers were always on guard against the squinting youth.

"Crack!" At this moment Karasawa Ryu put his palms together and made a soft sound, interrupting the atmosphere present, "You don't want to do it here, do you?"

Gojo Satoru also looked at Xia Youjie, Xia Youjie took one last deep look at Orihara Rinya, and was the first to turn and leave.

After the most dangerous curse master present left, the atmosphere eased a lot, Gojo Satoru casually pulled Karasawa Liu to his side: "Okay, let's go back."

When he said this, he didn't pay attention to the other organizations with supernatural powers present, but it was strange that Kunikida and Nakahara Chuya remained silent uncharacteristically.

"Wait a minute, boy over there," Francis said suddenly, "I'm very interested in your ability, are you interested in working for me, with an annual salary of 300 million US dollars."

"It sounds like a good job, but I still go to school, so forget it." Karasawa Liu firmly extended his hand to Gojo Satoru without looking back.

Gojo Satoru also smiled and stretched out his arms to grab Karasawa Ryu, and looked at the people present: "My student, I'm going to take it away, who else has any objections?"

Osamu Dazai shrugged: "You have come here in person, who else has any objections?"

Francis seemed to have noticed something at this time, and he wisely kept silent. Gojo Satoru simply used teleportation to leave after receiving the person.

"Oh, sure enough, diamonds have owners." Dazai Osamu sighed, and turned to look at Orihara Rinya.

Zhong Yuan also reacted, stepped on the ground, made a loud noise, and rushed towards the intelligence room with his right fist clenched.

But there was one person standing in front of Orihara Rinya.

bump!

Francis firmly grasped Nakahara Chuya's fist, green lines lit up on his face, and his brows trembled unconsciously: "Don't be so impatient, Mafia."

"Step aside."

"This is impossible." As soon as Francis finished speaking, the other members of the group also attacked Zhongya Zhongya, forcing the opponent to retreat.

Francis was not interested in watching other people fight, so he also said to Orihara Rin who was watching, "Let's go."

"Hey, is your group going to cooperate with this man?" Nakahara Chuya asked in a low voice.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. The purpose of my coming here is not for that little fortune teller, although his ability is indeed very interesting."

Francis came here deliberately because of the previous bet with the intelligence house. Although it has not been a full week, he has already shown his sincerity, so naturally he will not deny it.

Orihara Lin also laughed: "Hey, Mr. Francis is the only one in the audience who values ​​me so much. It's really flattering."

"Shut up, if you lose your previous value because of the loss of divination, I will not be soft on my hands. I will double the cost I invested in you and earn back. By the way, the attack you blocked just now is worth 50 US dollars. "

"Haha, I will remember~"

The two left chatting and laughing, Zhong Yuanzhong also wanted to chase, but was blocked by other members of the group. This was enough to make people angry, and the mackerel was still watching the fun.

"Hey, don't you care about the detective agency? That troublemaker joined forces with the group, making things even more difficult!" He couldn't help but yelled at Dazai.

"Hey, what are you talking about, I can't hear you?"

"Mackerel, you wait for me! I'll come over and punch you in the face!"

When Nakaya was chasing Osamu Dazai, Kunikida and the others took the opportunity to investigate the apartment, and Nakahara Nakaya realized that his subordinates also came at this time and began to direct them to investigate the scene.

Although the intelligence room may not leave any traces, it is better than nothing.

After the people from Mafia came, the people from the detective agency also gradually withdrew. Only Osamu Dazai was walking around, and suddenly he stopped in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

A black question mark was left on it.

Is it just simple graffiti, or...

"Dazai-san?" Atsushi Nakajima's voice interrupted Osamu Dazai's thoughts, and he came back to his senses, "Ah, Atsushi, did you find anything?"

"No, I just have a few questions I want to ask." Atsushi Nakajima wanted to ask just now, but he never had the chance. "Who was the man who picked up the boy just now? I feel that Mafia is also quite afraid of him."

"Ah, him," Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, "How should I put it, do you know the concept of a transcendent?"

"?" Nakajima Atsushi looked confused.

"Do you want to start explaining from here? Well, listen to Dun. The so-called transcendent is the person who stands at the top of all supernatural powers. He is the strongest armed force in a country, and can even affect the international situation."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Ah, so that man is our country's transcendent?"

"Hmm... almost, it's half a transcendent."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"His name is Gojo Satoru, and he is not a supernatural power user, but a conjurer, but in terms of destructive power, he has indeed reached the level of a transcendent." Osamu Dazai explained.

"Eh, wait? What is a conjurer?" Atsushi Nakajima was confused again.

"Conjurers are a group of people who specialize in dealing with curse spirits. The so-called curse spirits are monsters derived from human negative emotions. Well, you can understand them as ancient monsters and onmyoji. There are very few conjurers. Most They are all entrenched in Tokyo, and rarely appear in Yokohama."

Atsushi Nakajima looked refreshed: "Then why..."

"Ah! It's so troublesome to explain!" Osamu Dazai's patience gradually decreased, especially when dealing with Atsushi Nakajima, who looked like a cute new baby, so he resolutely threw this task to Kunikida, "Mama Kunikida, what do you give to Atsushi?" Let's spread it."

"Who is so stupid!?" Kunikida glared at Osamu Dazai, but still took over the task of explaining responsibly, "Let me tell you from the beginning, the so-called magicians and magic spirits..."

Kunikida re-explained the spell, and then said: "But don't worry too much, most of the time there is basically no intersection between the supernatural power user and the magician."

"Eh? Why, because there are so few of you."

"There is a part of the reason, but not the main reason," Kunikida pushed his glasses, "Didn't I say that the curse spirit is formed by the negative emotions of the human heart, so when do you think the negative emotions of the human heart are the most?"

"That should be... the time when you don't have enough food and clothing?" Atsushi Nakajima thought about his own situation, uncertain.

"It's one, but there is another more extreme situation," Kunikida said with a serious expression, "That is the time of war."

"Generally speaking, the combat power of magic spirits and magicians is balanced, but only in times of war will the magic spirits overwhelm the magicians. The number of magic spirits will increase sharply, and the level will also rise sharply. There are no conjurers walking outside, and it is said that they lived a secluded life in the enchantment until the end of the war." Note 1

Dazai Osamu's lazy voice came: "The people with different abilities are the opposite. The number of people with different abilities that emerged during the war is the largest."

Especially during the war of supernatural powers, almost every country will invest a large number of people with supernatural powers, and keep digging out awakened people from the people.

"It can be said that many people with supernatural powers are either forced or take the initiative to become accomplices in the war. The two sides obviously don't get along well, so generally speaking, they don't communicate with each other."

"After the war of different abilities, Japan became a defeated country, and the magic world became independent after that, without jurisdiction. However, in peacetime, the birth of a person broke the balance between magicians and magic spirits. This person is Gojo Enlightenment."

The birth of Gojo Wu broke the balance between the magic spirit and the magician, and gave birth to more powerful magic spirits, but he himself is stronger, even comparable to the transcendent. The government is of course ecstatic when he finds out. This feeling It's as dramatic as picking up a lottery ticket and finding out you've won first prize.

"Isn't this very good." Atsushi Nakajima didn't know why.

Osamu Dazai smiled lightly: "Well, it's very good, but no matter how attractive the conditions offered by the government, the conjuration community desperately refuses Gojo Satoru to participate in the war, and even refuses to show up on the battlefield as a threat."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because of a possibility."

Of course, the high-level conjurers did not have such a high level of awareness, and the anti-war was only due to the high concentration of conjuration spirits during the war.

The reason for refusing Wujo Satoru to participate in the war is simple, because of fear.

As I said before, the balance between the curse spirit and the magician has been maintained for nearly a thousand years. There are times of war when the magic spirit is stronger, and there are times of peace when the magician is stronger. After entering the modern age, basically everyone can eat and wear warm , the strength of the spell spirit was generally lower than in ancient times, but the birth of Wujo Wu broke this balance.

However, there is still no curse spirit strong enough to Wujo Wu, which is the only good thing.

What the higher-ups are really afraid of is that once Gojo Satoru steps on the battlefield, or shows his strength on the battlefield.

At that moment, the enemy's negative emotions, coupled with the haze of war, will give birth to a real king of curse spirits comparable to Wujo Wu, and it will be a disaster for the entire world.

According to the fate theory of spells, it is quite possible.

So the government is also very helpless, the family finally has a combat power comparable to a transcendent, but it can’t be used, and it can’t be ignored. The presence.

After dismissing the curious baby Atsushi Nakajima, Osamu Dazai continued to think about the intelligence office. From the previous conversation between the intelligence office and the group, it was obvious that they had been in contact before.

In addition, the intelligence house did not know how to heal the fortune-teller, and what information he got in exchange for this favor...

On the other side, Gojo Satoru took Karasawa Ryu a distance away.

"Teacher Wutiao, you can let me down, I'm fine now."

Gojo Satoru stopped in an empty alley and put down Tang Zeliu. At this time Xia Youjie had already left early, Tang Zeliu staggered and quickly stood up again.

"Your illness?" Gojo Satoru asked uncertainly.

"It's healed," Tang Zeliu took the opportunity to reveal the news of his recovery, so as to prevent these guys from treating themselves like porcelain dolls.

He pretended to be a little hesitant, and said, "It's the person with supernatural powers who can cure diseases that the intelligence office helped me find."

"Oh, isn't this great, as long as you are in good health." Gojo Satoru finally got some good news after so many days, and reached out his hand to touch Karasawa Ryu's head, "Congratulations."

Tang Zeliu was stunned for a moment, but this time he didn't knock off his hand, he lowered his head and hummed.

Now that he intends to confess the fact that his health has recovered, Karasawa Ryu was already prepared to be questioned. Gojo Satoru didn't know that he and Orihara Rin were alone, so he must have thought of some deal they had reached, but he still didn't know what to do. Neither asked.

Just like what Karasawa promised when he first entered the magic world, give him the greatest degree of trust he can give.

"Let's go back."

……

Karasawa Ryu followed Gojo Satoru back to the magic world, and Orihara Rin also boarded the team's boat.

"For the sake of your good performance, I'll give you a chance." Francis sat in his exclusive seat, and Alcott, the strategist of the group, stood beside him. Francis' eyes were cold, Austrian Ercott looked at Orihara Rinya in front of him warily.

Behind Orihara Rinya, there are several groups of people with supernatural powers standing, completely trapped in the group's encirclement. This kind of situation usually gives people great psychological pressure, similar to "you are in my territory".

But Lin didn't show any emotion. She raised her head and glanced at Francis, then shifted her eyes to Alcott beside him. For some reason, she always felt that this woman seemed to be extremely wary of him.

Between them was a small box, and Orihara had already guessed what it was, and deliberately asked, "This is...?"

"That's right, my daughter's ashes." Francis looked at the urn and closed his eyes, "But you have to remember, if you fail, this is not something that can be easily dismissed."

"I know." Orihara Rin also smiled calmly, as if he didn't see all the members of the group standing behind him on guard.

"Please rest assured, the person who can revive your daughter has already arrived in Yokohama."

……

"It's so hot, the summer in Yokohama is really hot to the point of death."

One was wearing a black robe, covering his whole body tightly, leaving only a few strands of white hair exposed, feeling like his whole body was about to melt under the scorching sun of Yokohama.

"Really...why did you design me to be this kind of person?"

As the third parallel consciousness that was split, it is also the third puppet clone. For the time being, it is called the black wizard, because the main body that is named Fei has not yet come up with a good name.

The character design of the black wizard, in the mouth of Orihara Rinya, is roughly a social fear. When going out, he must be wrapped tightly, and he will never appear with his true face. This is what he dressed like a psycho standing in Yokohama in the summer. Street grounds.

So hot.

The black wizard was carrying a big box, looked at the sun in the sky, and felt that if they didn't come, he would collapse.

The shadow fell suddenly at this time, and the shadow of the whale appeared on the ground.

The white whale was swimming among the clouds, and the black wizard looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that if this was not a metal white whale, it should be more beautiful.

"You are the dark wizard." Margaret and the priest appeared in front of the black wizard, "Come with us."

Boarding the white whale, the black wizard maintained his autistic personality and did not communicate with anyone along the way until he met Francis.

"Are you the one who masters the resurrection technique?" Francis looked critically at the black wizard, and seemed to have some doubts about this person who didn't even dare to reveal his face, "I've come here, do you still have to hide it?" ? Looks like another guy who doesn't know how to behave."

"I'm sorry, this is the condition of my job." The black wizard said indifferently, "I will do the work, and you will pay for it. It's as simple as that."

"Dark wizards don't like dealing with human beings. Even if you ask him for any personal information, he won't answer you. I have been entangled for a long time, and I finally got him to agree to this shot." Orihara Lin also sat down. On the chair beside him, he said leisurely.

Francis looked sideways, meaning that it is impossible to win over, this guy in the intelligence office has a wide range of contacts, how did he find these weirdos to cooperate with?

Maybe you can try it with money, but he doesn't have any plans to win over, and now their cooperation is still in the honeymoon period, so it's better not to cause more trouble here.

Wait and see, if he really mastered the technique of resurrection...

Francis suppressed his complicated thoughts, and showed a gentle smile on the surface: "I understand, and I don't like those false etiquettes, so let's save those troublesome things and get straight to the point. The price of resurrecting my daughter, I What do you need to pay for?"

"One hundred million dollars, find the materials I need, and I will make a list later." The black wizard said briefly, "Furthermore, give me an absolutely airtight room, which needs a stove, um...according to the firing process. The specifications of pottery will do.”

pottery?

Francis caught this keyword, his eyes flickering.

"And the most important point is absolute confidentiality. Before I take the initiative to open the door, no one is allowed to peep and eavesdrop. If I find out, I will terminate the cooperation. Of course, your children's ashes will be in vain. If you can accept it, sign the contract. , the intelligence house will be our witness."

Orihara Lin also took out the contract and a bank card at the right time: "If you think it's okay, sign on it. I will be responsible for keeping the reward and the backup contract. It is also a guarantee for the success of the transaction. Before your daughter is resurrected Stay here all the time."

Francis nodded in agreement, and then looked at the contract, looking at the basic traps. As a capitalist, he is most sensitive to this thing.

After signing the signature, Francis generously paid 2000 million US dollars into the card number provided by Orihara Rinya, and [-] million of it was Orihara Rinya's personal commission.

The boss is so generous... Orihara Lin also smiled deeper: "Thank you for your patronage."

Afterwards, Orihara Lin also lived in the room next to the black wizard, and he would also wait here when the black wizard finished his preparations.

"Is it really all right, Sir Francis?" Alcott, the military strategist of the group, asked in a low voice, "That man doesn't seem like someone who would be kind enough to guarantee others."

Rather, from the time this person came to the door, Alcott had sensed the aura of conspiracy, and this premonition became even stronger after seeing him again.

He had naturally restless eyes, and although the corners of his mouth were always smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. No matter what happened in that apartment back then, this man was the only one who never showed any surprise.

It was as if everything was according to his plan.

In those few days when Orihara Rin also disrupted Yokohama, Alcott also did a lot of homework. Her special ability [Little Lady] can make time pass at a speed of one eight thousandth, which means that she analyzed Orihara Rin Also, this person's time is eight thousand times that of other people.

This is the reason why she is the strategist of the combination. The strategy of the combination is meticulous every time, because she spent more time than others imagined to think and perfect.

And spending that time analyzing one person will also yield details that no one else can.

At least she could see that Orihara Rinya must have a bigger and more dangerous plan before he found the leader of the combination, just like he had more ways to persuade the leader of the combination before, but he chose the last one. A kind of slanted sword, because he is born to be the kind of person who will set off disputes wherever he goes.

Cooperating with such a person is tantamount to trading souls with the devil.

"Of course I understand." Francis said softly, "But there is nothing I can do."

[Book] is just a legend, but the real body has not been seen for a long time. [Resurrection of the Dead] is also a legend, but now someone deliberately puts the possibility in front of him, so who to choose?

Even if it was the only spider silk in hell, he would hold on tightly and not let it go.

……

"Did the people in the magic world find it so quickly, so there is no way." Mori Ogai sighed, he didn't expect to poach the corner, but selling face as the strongest in the magic world is also a good choice, who would have thought Gojo Satoru came so quickly, "So, what about the intelligence office?"

"It was taken away by the group." Nakahara Chuya held the hat in one hand and placed it on his chest, lowering his head, "I'm very sorry."

"Hey, I don't blame you. No one knew that the intelligence house had connected with the group beforehand." Mori Ogai also felt a pity. , it will not be so easy to let people go back.

It's a pity that an opportunity to solve the combination in advance was wasted.

"And now it has been found out that the intelligence house was able to control the actions of the three organizations a while ago, mostly because of another person's divination ability. Now that they have separated, the threat to the intelligence house has been greatly reduced, so ignore him It doesn't matter, the key is the next struggle with the combination and the detective agency."

Zhong Yuanzhong also paused for a few seconds: "...Yes."

Is it really?

Nakahara also remembered the scene when he saw Orihara Rinya, although he didn't want to admit it, he had partnered with Mackerel for so many years, and he had an inexplicable intuition for this kind of bad-bellied person.

I always feel that the intelligence house is not such a simple person.

……

"Assembly and information room?" Edogawa Ranpo sat on the computer chair with his snacks in his hands, playing around in circles, "Well...so that's how it is."

Osamu Dazai leaned over curiously: "Do you know what they plan to do?"

"What is the purpose of that foreigner." Ranpo reminded.

"Oh~" Osamu Dazai also thought of it immediately, tilting his head, "But is it really possible?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before." Edogawa Ranpo shook his head honestly.

"I haven't seen it either. If the resurrection of the dead is really realized, the world will be in chaos." Osamu Dazai said softly.

"If that's his purpose." Ranpo said.

The two fell into silence suddenly. Recalling the days that had disturbed Yokohama before, Osamu Dazai stood up silently: "I'm going to make a phone call."

He had just tuned to Ango Sakaguchi's number in his mobile phone, and seemed to suddenly remember something, temporarily dialed to another phone number, and sent a text message.

[Is there any change in the place I asked you to pay attention to before? 】

Soon a photo was sent from the other side, and Osamu Dazai was about to take a closer look.

Just as Ranbu was about to jump off his seat and run to explain the matter to the president, he seemed to see out of the window from the corner of his eye...

"Dazai! Get down!"

boom--

The detective agency heard the sound of a series of explosions, and the passers-by suddenly burst into screams, watching helplessly as the upstairs detective agency quickly fell into a sea of ​​flames.

The author has something to say: Note 1, I guess, um... It seems that in the original book, I also saw that the world of conjuration is centered on Gaozhuan surrounded by the barrier of Tianyuan.
