i lied to the whole world

Eyes quickly disappearing from the wall, he quickly shuttled through the shadows of various buildings in Yokohama, and finally came to a private house.

The Nuliang Group has its own strongholds in various places, but this does not include Yokohama, a special city, but even so, the connections of the monsters for thousands of years should not be underestimated. For example, in this relatively old house, the grandmother of the proprietress used to Having received the favor of the Nura-gumi, he also knows about monsters, and now the third generation of the Nura-gumi and the hundred ghosts brought by him are temporarily resting in this private house.

The one-eyed monster reappeared from the shadow of the house, just in time to see the young master looking at flowers in the yard of the house: "Young master."

Nuliang Lusheng responded, looking calmly at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

There is also a cherry blossom in the yard of this private house, but unfortunately it is not yet the blooming season, but the proprietress here takes good care of the other flowers and plants in the yard.

Perhaps it was because the city's demonic energy and [fear] were gathering, Nura Rikusheng felt the demonic blood in his body faintly boiling, which allowed him to enter the state of night all the time.Note 1

"I've had a hard time working on the Mary doll."

"No, that's what the subordinates should do." The one-eyed monster said, a little hesitant, "And it's not the subordinates who destroyed the Mary doll, it was the local superhumans here who did it."

Nuliang Rikusheng's eyes turned to him: "Tell me in detail."

The one-eyed monster then told what he saw, especially the abilities of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Mori Ogai.

Lu Sheng listened carefully. Although they had no conflict of interest with this group of people, they did not guarantee the possibility of being beaten together.

After all, it is almost difficult for laymen to distinguish the difference between good monsters and bad monsters. It is even more likely that there is no need to distinguish clearly, and their Nuliang group will not harm humans, but at the same time, Nuliang Rikusheng has no way to restrain his subordinates not to spread [fear]

The monsters are not here for charity, restraining them from harming humans is already a way for the monsters to give the young master a lot of face, but [fear] is the foundation of the monsters' survival and strength.

If you want the monsters to work, and let the monsters not eat, even the commander-in-chief will be questioned, especially if Nuliang Rikusheng has not officially inherited the Nuliang group.

To join this feast, maintain good order and not harm humans, and at the same time investigate the origin of the 'slick ghost' here, this is the purpose of Nuliang Rikusheng here.

He was also prepared to have a conflict with the local forces here, but if possible, he should try to avoid it as much as possible. They came here to quell the fight, not to create it.

The one-eyed monster probably told everything he knew, and Rikusho Nura had a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of the superhumans here. Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.

No, actually there are. I have to say that during their investigation, a monster from the Nura group met a young man with orange hair head-on. After a brief conflict, the monster from the Nura group successfully retreated and escaped. , The monsters who came back told their young master with lingering fear that they felt the breath of a suspected god in that young man!

Nuliang Rikusheng was taken aback at the time. They have fought many monsters, but they have never met the gods. They thought they were the patron saints of this land or something, and they have been around the orange-haired youth ever since. Walk.

"Is there still no trace of the other slippery ghost?" Nuliang Rikusheng asked.

The one-eyed monster shook his head.

Nuliang Lusheng sighed: "I see, thank you for your hard work, please continue to pay attention to me in the future."

"You don't need to be so polite, young master, this is the mission of the subordinates."

Strange thing, they had clearly heard that there was a slippery ghost leading the Hyakki Yako around Yokohama, but no matter how much they patrolled after the Nuliang team came, they never ran into the so-called other slippery ghost, and even deliberately released their breath to provoke, Except for some little monsters, no other monsters responded.

The Nuliang team is discussing internally, and they feel that either the news is false, or this slick guy is a timid coward who is not worthy to be compared with their young master.

By the way, the latter point of view comes from Nuliang Lusheng's relatives, friends and cronies, anyway, they are firm young masters.

It was getting late and the sun was setting. After a simple dinner in the private house, Nura Rikuo stood up.

All the noisy monsters present seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and each monster looked expectantly at Nura Rikusheng.

Xue Nu glanced at the time, it seemed that it was about time.

Nuliang Lusheng glanced at his hundred ghosts, and a smile appeared on his mouth: "Let's go."

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

This is the established project of the Nuliang group every night after they came to Yokohama. It is something that every monster is looking forward to and excited about. It will not only arouse their strong sense of belonging and joy in their hearts. The fear and curiosity of human beings will be transformed into their source of strength.

More importantly, being able to demonstrate their status and the strength of the Nuragumi under the leader they recognize is almost the most sacred ritual in every monster's heart.

Originally, it was not so frequent in Ukiyo-echo, but in Yokohama, there are not so many scruples, which is also the reason why Yao is happy.

But tonight's Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts seems to be a little different.

Night falls.

There are very few pedestrians on the streets of Yokohama, the shops are closed, and the neon lights are no longer on. The night in Yokohama is a bit more depressed.

Recently, Yokohama has imposed a curfew that hasn't been seen for a long time. According to the official notice, a team of mentally disturbed mercenaries smuggled into Yokohama. It is very likely that they will violently kill people on the streets or take hostages. Don't come out, and Mafia also issued a similar order in the underground world, but their version was to clean up some organizations that reached out to Yokohama, and for a while, the local forces in Yokohama dreamed of the leading war, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Obviously, at least after knowing that the more people fear and believe in monsters, there will be more [fear], and the monsters will become stronger and stronger.

However, the curfew is not mandatory, which still cannot resist the enthusiasm of some Yokohama citizens to provide supper service for monsters on the streets at night.

Therefore, the detective agency and Mafia had to be responsible for dissuading some apparently dead citizens during the investigation, which greatly slowed down their investigation progress and made people feel very tired.

When Nakajima Atsushi and Kunikida were investigating on the street, they had already persuaded several waves of people who traveled alone and went to the alleys. Just when they thought that tonight would be another night of nothing to gain, something happened on the street. It's foggy.

Atsushi Nakajima was the first to notice something was wrong. He keenly pulled Kunikida around the corner of the alley and said softly, "Kunikida-san, something seems a little wrong."

"Ah, I can see it." Kunikida pushed his glasses, looking serious.

An unusual atmosphere is gradually approaching.

The sound in the air seemed a bit noisy, Atsushi Nakajima poked out half of his head to carefully observe the end of the street, his pupils contracted slightly uncontrollably.

Monsters... a lot of monsters.

Heads floating in the air, snow girls with snowflakes falling every time they take a step, monsters with necks more than two meters long, without mouths, and all kinds of strange monsters.

Monsters are parading.

No, this is...

"Hyakki Night Walk." Kunikida also poked his head above Atsushi Nakajima's head and said softly, "I didn't expect that we would catch up with such a scene."

Atsushi Nakajima nodded equally nervously.

Hyakki Night Walk, this is probably the hottest urban legend in Yokohama recently, and everyone who is curious about monsters wants to see its spectacular sight.But as members of the detective agency, Atsushi Nakajima and Kunikida have more important tasks, which is to investigate Hyakki Yako.

As time went by, some monsters who smelled the smell and came to join in the fun, and monsters who begged for protection followed the tail of the team one after another, and the monsters who originally belonged to the Nuliang group did not refuse, and the team of Hyakki gradually grew.

While Atsushi Nakajima was observing carefully, his face suddenly became a little weird: "Mr. Kunikida, look at the end of the line."

"Huh?" Kunikida looked back after hearing the words, and then his eyes gradually focused on a figure whose head was tightly wrapped in a cardboard box in a sand-colored windbreaker, and his eyes gradually froze.

Atsushi Nakajima struggled: "That seems to be Dazai-san...?"

Kunikida: ...

Dazai hummed and mingled with the youkai team, without any sense of disobedience, until he passed a certain alley when he was suddenly pulled in by a hand protruding from inside.

"What are you doing here!" Kunikida asked.

The cardboard monster tilted his head and pretended to be stupid: "What are you talking about? Do I know you?"

"Dazai! Stop playing."

"What are you talking about? My name is not Dazai. I'm a local specialty cardboard monster."

"..." Kunikida sighed, and put his hands on the cardboard box on Dazai's head and pulled it upwards.

Dazai reacted quickly and held down his cardboard box, choking his throat: "Yeah—playing hooligans!"

Kunikida was really fooled, he let go of his hand in embarrassment, holding it up and down in the air, did he admit his mistake?

"Dazai-san, stop playing, you haven't changed your clothes." Atsushi Nakajima said quietly.

"Oh, you guys really don't have any sense of humor." Dazai opened the box and sighed repeatedly.

Kunikida clenched his fists: "It really is you."

"Ahem, well, let's get down to business," Dazai quickly changed the subject, "What are you doing here?"

"We are observing the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, but you, why are you in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts?"

"Of course I tried to sneak in. The best way to get to know youkai is to become one of them, so that you can talk to them." Dazai shrugged his shoulders.

Kunikida frowned: "Are you serious? It's too dangerous. You have seen the harm monsters do to human beings these days."

Dazai was noncommittal: "That's not necessarily the case, and some monsters seem to be different from the rest..."

He was halfway through speaking when a huge horse-faced monster suddenly poked its head out from the entrance of the alley: "Hey, rookie, why don't you keep up, the team is leaving."

It saw the three of Atsushi Nakajima in the alley.

"Human, human!?"

"Ah, no, no." Dazai quickly put on the cardboard box, pointing at himself, "I am a cardboard monster, and these two are monsters too. They are the white tiger monster and the glasses monster."

Atsushi Nakajima: "White tiger monster?"

Kunikida: "What the hell is a spectacle monster... so he will believe it?"

Several people complained in low voices, only the three people who were close could hear them. Dazai also replied in a low voice: "It's okay, not all monsters have normal human thinking, and some weak ones are quite mentally retarded."

"White tiger... glasses, are they all newly born local monsters, but why do you have such a strong human smell?"

"Because this is a human city, we were born here, so of course we have a strong sense of humanity." Dazai flicked.

"I see." The horse-faced monster nodded, seeming to accept the statement.

But its mouth is always half open, the saliva drips drop by drop, and its eyes are fixed on Kunikida and Nakajima Atsushi, revealing primitive greed and appetite.

Osamu Dazai felt something was wrong. According to his previous observations in chatting with monsters, monsters with low IQ are generally easy to fool, but there is a problem.

They are less rational, and instead they are more animalistic and cruel.

"You smell so delicious, let me take a bite."

The horse's face swelled up in an instant, and he opened his bloody mouth to bite a few people without even thinking about it.

Blood splatter.

Nakajima Atsushi just appeared to activate his ability, his arms and footsteps became stronger and stronger. This is the half-human half-beast form he just mastered some time ago, but he didn't rush out because the feet of the horse-faced monster in front of him has been mowed down.

"What are you doing? Cannibalism is not allowed in the young master's team." The leader stood behind the horse's face with the red silk thread in his hand, the same thread that cut off the horse's face's leg just now, his cold eyes turned to The three of them, especially looked at Atsushi Nakajima's white tiger form, and frowned:

"Are you human?"

The author has something to say: Note 1, Nura Rikusho, the protagonist of the slippery ghost, has a quarter of the blood of a monster. He can only enter the monster state at night and dawn, or in places with sufficient monster energy. He is a human being on weekdays.
