i lied to the whole world

The time is turned back to the time when Dazai grabbed Orihara Rinya and returned to the detective agency.

He didn't notice that there was also a figure following behind him.

Invisibly unfolding, Dazai completely manipulated the five senses of people, and Dazai, who was walking in front humming a song, didn't notice that someone followed him into the detective agency.

Hoshiro Hoshiro quietly watched all the scenes present, until as expected, the person who hated Kunikida pulled the scarecrow's rope.

So he abducted Kunikida in front of everyone, concealed his body with the mirror flower and water moon, and took him away with the teleportation that can only be used once a day.

Only then did the magic of turning a living person in front of the detective agency complete.

There was a deathly silence in the detective agency, Dazai was the first to react two seconds later, he turned his head suddenly to see the figure of Orihara Rinya, only to find that he had already disappeared in place.

There was a hole in the window of the detective agency, but no one noticed how he got there, and how he broke through the window quietly.

There is no doubt that it is because the mirror is also covering up his actions.

Osamu Dazai had an ugly expression, and Ranpo Edogawa also opened his eyes.

"Why is it Kunikida..."

Then the two looked at Poe first, and Dazai asked, "Is that the nearest hell girl?"

Poe swallowed, inexplicably feeling that the expressions of the two were a little dangerous: "Yes."

Everyone turned their eyes to Fukuzawa Yukichi, Fukuzawa Yukichi also had a serious expression: "Investigate the incident of the hell girl with all my strength, and we must find Kunikida back!"

"Yes!"

Atsushi Nakajima murmured: "Kunikida-san has never done anything that would cause resentment..."

"Because hate is just as unreasonable as love." Dazai whispered.

"But it shouldn't be Kunikida-san!"

"Yeah, Kunikida is a good person with idealism, so the hell girl is not right." Ranpo searched through Kunikida's past commission records, and finally pointed to a name, "I found it."

Two or three people approached, and Dazai suddenly realized: "Ah, it's this child."

Atsushi Nakajima: "Kami Oguri, who is she?"

"The younger sister of the serial murderer I entrusted last time is 10 years old this year. Although the serial murderer committed many crimes, he is the only one who treats her very well." Because this person is Oguri Kami's only relative, after he was imprisoned, Oguri Kami could only go to the orphanage to live, Kunikida went to visit her specially last week, well, even if he was kicked out."

"Are you going to find her?"

"...so what if you find it." Atsushi Nakajima's shoulders slumped.

"That's right, Hell Girl is beyond the law, granting everyone the same opportunity for revenge, but also granting everyone a one-time weapon that is beyond the law." Osamu Dazai put his hands in his pockets, "If you don't stop it, one day It will disrupt the whole society."

Just then the detective agency's phone rang, and Tanizaki picked it up: "Hello? Yes, this is the detective agency... What did you say?!"

Everyone looked at Tanizaki, and saw him holding the phone with a serious expression: "The police said that within half an hour just now, all the missing persons who reported to the police were found and are now receiving treatment in the hospital."

missing person?

Edogawa jumped off the chair in disorder: "Let's go, it's finally time for the famous detective to appear."

……

"Is that so, she resents me." Kunikida sat in the Hell Girl's boat, felt the turbulence of the boat, and felt a little absent-minded.

He didn't regret arresting the serial killer, it was just that he was the one who made a little girl lose the only one she could rely on.

It is difficult to have both in the world.

This is the truth he understood very early, but he was only a little sad, and 5 minutes would be fine.

After 5 minutes, Kunikida regained his energy and looked at Enma Ai who was rowing in the bow.

"Are you the hell girl?"

Yan Moai ignored him and paddled her oars quietly.

"Where is this ship going, hell? Is there any way to return to this world?" Kunikida asked.

Still didn't answer, if it wasn't for the lack of look in her eyes, Kunikida even wondered if the person rowing the boat was a puppet.

He looked at the dark and dirty water beside him, and the endless river, and felt an urge to jump into the water and swim back.

He hasn't finished the work recorded in the 'ideal' notebook, and hasn't realized his life plan, how can he just finish here!

However, as if seeing through his thoughts, the hell girl suddenly said: "It's useless, no one can swim out of the river."

Kunikida looked at her: "You can talk?"

However, Yan Moai closed her mouth again.

"What's the matter with no one to swim around?"

No matter how much he asked, Yan Moai never spoke again. Kunikida looked at the cliff that was gradually visible not far away, and jumped into the river trying to swim away.

However, no matter how much he swam, it seemed that there was a pulling force in the river that made him unable to swing his body freely, and soon he reached the cliff uncontrollably. The moment he fell, his whole body felt dizzy and dizzy, and he quickly lost consciousness. awareness.

When he woke up again, he had already arrived outside a strange building, and the surrounding environment was very strange. It was clear that the sun was not hanging in the sky, but it was as bright as daylight as if the lights were turned on in the room, but he couldn't tell what it was. acting as a light source.

There are no green plants around, only distorted and withered black trees. The building in front of it has a kind of beauty mixed with Japanese and Japanese styles. Kunikida's historical knowledge is so-so, and he can barely recognize that it is similar to Heianjing at that time. style building.

"What are you doing here?"

A little boy's voice sounded from behind him. Kunikida turned around and found a white-haired little boy in a white kimono, staring at him curiously.

Kunikida couldn't help himself not to pay attention to the three small horns on the boy's head, and he was actually at a loss about the boy's question.

He returned to the present world?But where is there such a weird place? According to the hell girl, here is...

"Excuse me, is this hell?"

"Yes, this is hell, and I am the jailer, so who are you?"

"Jailor, such a small jailer?" Kunikida was a little surprised.

"Don't look at me like this, I still have a good education and training, so you are..."

"Eggplant, why are you wandering here alone, there is still a lot of work to be done in Yan Mo Hall." Tang Gua passed by with a lot of documents, and stopped to urge when he saw the situation here.

"Tang Gua, you came just in time, because I saw this person wandering around here."

"Huh? You..." Tang Gua looked up at Kunikida with hesitation, "A dead person? Why are you wandering around here?"

"I don't know." Kunikida was in a complicated mood. He touched his arms. Although his clothes had changed, the notebook was still there, but he didn't know if he could use his ability here.

Tang Gua's expression was tangled for a moment: "Anyway, you come in first."

Under the leadership of Tang Gua and Eggplant, Kunikida entered the Yan Mo Hall, just in time for the trial of the prisoners. He watched with his own eyes the three-meter-tall giant on the trial table majestically throwing down the trial sign, Sentencing a man in the clothes of the dead to hell.

All this gradually coincided with the scene of hell that Kunikida had consulted before, and his mood gradually became complicated. This place really is hell.

Then yourself...

"Master Ghost Lantern, Lord Ghost Lantern, we saw this man at the gate of Yan Mo Hall."

It was only then that Kunikida noticed that there was a smaller table under the huge judgment table, because King Yan Mo's size was too existential, so he didn't notice that there was another person here.

Are you a human?

Hearing the words, Gui Deng looked up, and happened to meet Kunikida's eyes. He looked at the clothes on his body, squinted his eyes and seemed to recognize something, and was stunned for a moment: "A living person? How did you get to hell?" ?”

"Ah, that's the thing." King Yan Mo seemed to remember something at this moment, clenched his fist with his left hand and knocked his right hand, "It's a new policy that I approved before."

Ghost Lamp: "What's that?"

"Isn't Hell facing the problem of too many staff members recently? I felt that sooner or later it would be full, so I posted a suggestion box for comments, and then there was a booklet for suggestions in front of my desk, which said that recent crimes There are more and more victims, all because modern people have gradually lost their faith and cannot stick to the moral bottom line. In this case, why not let the resented experience hell in advance through hell communication? Changed my mind, this king thought it made sense, so I agreed, how about it, do you feel that this king is quite witty..."

King Yan Mo talked and looked at the black flame rising from behind the ghost lamp, and suddenly he couldn't continue. Tanggua and Eggplant hugged each other and shivered.

"Are you an idiot? Isn't this equivalent to two trials? The trial of the dead is very rigorous and cumbersome, and it will greatly increase the burden on each hall. Originally, the recording department resigned several times because of the busy work, and they worked overtime to the point of sudden death. , What is the difference between you doing this and adding to our burden again!?"

The ghost lamp unceremoniously pulled King Yan Mo's beard, and the veins on the back of his hand popped up. King Yan Mo cried out in pain, with a mournful face: "Hey, lighten the ghost lamp!"

"No wonder I said that the lives of several dead people were so short."

"Shake your head and let me hear what's in here, water?"

"And let the living soul and the dead mix together without authorization, what should I do if something goes wrong?"

While speaking, the ghost lamp beat Enma King's head, which caused a great shock to Kunikida.

How should I put it, the majestic image before has collapsed all of a sudden.

And the hell is working overtime too?What's going on in this hell, it's too real.

So King Yan Mo successfully shrunk to the corner and drew a circle by himself. The ghost lamp put away the mace as if nothing had happened, and walked in front of Kunikida: "I'm sorry for letting you see an outrageous scene. will be sent back to the present world."

"It's nothing." Kunikida pushed his glasses in a complicated mood, and was silent for a moment, as if he was repairing his world view, and then he couldn't help asking, "There were people like me who came here before..."

"Ah, because I won't stay here forever, the work of trial is carried out by King Yan Mo." Gui Deng cast a disgusted glance at King Yan Mo in the corner.

"So the hell girl really wasn't created by you?"

"What is a hell girl?"

"A relatively popular urban legend in this world, I never thought it would be true."

After listening to Kunikida's narration, especially the part about the murderer behind the scenes, Ghost Lamp frowned: "Speaking of which, the scriptures of King Yan Mo should pass through me first, and the scripts that I pass will be approved by King Yan Mo, but I've never seen an excerpt about communications from hell."

Kunikida's heart tightened, and he asked with difficulty: "Then there are communications about the future hell."

"It's definitely not possible. The burden of hell is already heavy. More than one hell has complained to me about the lack of manpower. It's not enough to deal with the dead, let alone the living souls in this world."

Kunikida breathed a sigh of relief, this was really the best news he had heard in a while.

After the ghost lamp figured out the matter, the anger gradually subsided: "Sorry, this is our dereliction of duty. I will send you back to the present world later. But I will start patrolling later. You are waiting in Yan Mo Hall first. Me, or go to hell together?"

"……is it okay?"

"Ah, there have been several examples of living souls straying into hell before, such as Ono Huang. Being able to wander in hell is also a rare experience."

Indeed... Kunikida was a little moved, and nodded: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

the other side

Everyone transferred to the hospital, and saw that all the wards were full, and even the patients' beds were placed outside the hospital corridor.

Moreover, the words and deeds of these patients were very strange. Some hugged their knees and shivered in the corner of the hospital bed, some kept banging their heads on the hospital wall, and some frantically knelt down and apologized whenever people approached.

He and Xie Ye frowned more and more, pulled a nurse and asked, "What happened to these people?"

"We don't know. They don't have any scars on their bodies, but they seem to have been greatly stimulated mentally," the nurse explained. "Our hospital can't accommodate so many patients, and we are discussing transferring them."

Edogawa ran up to one of the patients and observed carefully, Dazai looked around everyone: "Is there anyone with milder symptoms?"

The nurse showed a distressed expression: "Those with milder symptoms have already been sent back because the hospital has no spare wards, so let them go home to recuperate."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help feeling a little heavy in their hearts. Looking at these people, it was as if they saw Kunikida Mirai.

And at this time, Edogawa ran up to someone's hospital bed, staring at the hem of his clothes, pants and shoes, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
