He heard footsteps first.Rushing down from upstairs, he pushed open the glass door of the cafe: "Akutagawa!!"

Then the shopkeeper was speaking quickly.

Then someone squatted down, did not shake his body without authorization, and concluded after a simple inspection: "No problem. Just leave it to Dr. Xie Ye."

Another hoarse voice that he had never heard before, as if he had swallowed coals from hell, said, "What are you going to do, Odasaku?"

Odasaku...?What a strange sentence.

He heard Oda Sakunosuke's voice suppressing some emotions, saying, "To receive such an injury in Yokohama, plus what I brought back... Akutagawa must have provoked the port mafia. I'm going to... ..."

The voice interrupted abruptly, "Don't go, Odasaku."

At the same time, Akutagawa Ryunosuke also worked hard to focus on his remaining willpower... Should I say thank the opponent who sent the letter.In the final blow, he kept his hand at the nick of time, and said something like "There are additional tasks".

But he still couldn't open his eyes, and wriggling his lips with all his strength was just a "ho ho" panting from his throat.

'Don't go, Odasaku. ' Akutagawa thought. 'This is mine, next, sister...'

Yes, silver.

Yes, Little Silver.

After so many years, so many days and nights separated.I finally found your trail. ...So you are so close to me.

In this way, this anger finally has an object of hatred to pour out on.

The photos I saw just now are still playing back and forth in my mind.It was silver, and he would never admit it was wrong.With long black hair and a pitch-black suit, when looking at the camera, the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes are all nothingness.silver.he thought again.Finally found you, Silver...

Brother will take you back.

The last strand of sobriety was like a broken spider's thread, finally snapped.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke lost consciousness, but he needn't worry.

This is the Armed Detective Agency.

These people——are Akutagawa's companions.

……

……

It didn't take long for Akutagawa to wake up, and he was in the infirmary of the detective agency when he woke up.

He propped himself up to sit up, and it was obvious that the tear in his abdomen had healed as if it had never existed.With Yosano Akiko's "Please Don't Die", as long as there is still a breath left, the healing ability can be cured. So far, there has never been a special case of failure.

Sure enough, when Akutagawa raised his head, he saw Dr. Yosano, who seemed to have lost his spirit from a moment ago, and was drinking coffee while yawning.

Noticing Akutagawa waking up, Yosano turned his head: "You're awake. What happened?"

Asked by Yosano, Akutagawa immediately recalled what happened a moment ago, and his murderous aura surged in an instant!

He never mentioned the relaxation and happiness when chatting with Atsushi Nakajima.For the first time, he, a man who survived in the slums, met another from an orphanage. They knew each other the ecstasy of finding a little food when they were desperately surviving, and the secret fear of themselves every day before going to bed during the winter. They are the only ones who can chat about the topic of "chocolate bars and currency".Except for the wild dogs of the same birth among them, even the companions around them couldn't understand the heaviness behind these words.

But.The ease was long gone.

Instead, there is a hatred of wanting to eat flesh and blood.

"It's the enemy!" Akutagawa gritted his teeth and said, with fierce eyes, and moved his body from the hospital bed to get out of bed: "My younger sister is in the hands of the port mafia!"

"..." Yosano Akiko looked at the murderous Akutagawa, fell silent for a while, and finally handed out the "Okay card" that Mr. Ranpo had prepared in advance.

On that card, along with Oda Sakunosuke and Yosano Akiko, everyone's stamps are all there.

"It's the same as what Tsushima said." Yosano stood up first, "If that's the case, come with me."

"There's something for you to see."

The members of the detective agency gathered in the conference room, each with a seat, looking serious.

except...

A strange person with arms folded, leaning back on the back of the swivel chair, kicking the ground with his feet, making an inexplicable "咻咻" sound, and covering his head with a paper bag.

"...Who is this timid guy?"

Even Akutagawa couldn't help asking with a dry voice that seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Upon hearing this question, Kunikida Doppo covered his forehead with his palm as if he had exhausted all his strength.

And this strange man stopped the swivel chair with his foot as a brake, tilted his head—if that action was a tilt of his head—looked over—probably "looked", and waved his hand lightly.

For some reason, the man was covered in bandages all over his body, which made him appear to be acting grotesquely and uninhibitedly.

"You're not talented, Tsujima Shuji. Your Excellency is the newcomer of the detective agency, investigator Akutagawa!" After speaking, he laughed inexplicably.

And as soon as this too iconic hoarse voice appeared, Akutagawa immediately understood: this is the one who stopped Oda Sakunosuke when he was about to lose consciousness.

No matter what Oda intends to do, confronting the port mafia will definitely not end well.

I heard that there were gunshots in the alley a few nights ago. According to survivors who were almost terrified, they heard bullets and roars of tigers. About 20 armed dangerous men walked in, but in the end they were half-baked. Not a single piece of meat could come out. ...The Port Mafia is Yokohama's night.No one will lose their minds and plan to face this night alone with their own strength.The revenge methods belonging to the Mafia have always been horrifyingly cruel and bloody.

However, Akutagawa was determined to kill him.

The killing intent on his body has never been suppressed, and even the hem of the long gray trench coat is slowly shaking at this moment.It was [Rashomon] that was launched involuntarily under the agitation of emotions.

"What did you tell me to see...?" Akutagawa suppressed his murderous intent and said, his fierce three-headed dog eyes swept the meeting room around, causing the atmosphere to fall into ice in an instant and freeze, It was fixed on the guy who seemed to be a newcomer.

"It can't be this person, can it?"

After saying this, Akutagawa burst out with a terrifying aura of "If you dare to use this guy to amuse me, you will die"!

"No, no, no!" Kunikida retorted repeatedly, and at the same time kicked Tsushima's seat hard, "You bastard, hurry up! I've been dawdling for almost a morning, and I don't want to be killed!"

Tsushima jolted left and right a few times in a funny way, muttered a few nonsense words like "I can't kill it", and then put his hands on the edge of the table and sat up straight.

This person suddenly became serious, as if he had some extraordinary appeal, which made the other people's faces shudder at the same time.

"I...have hesitated for a long time." Shuji Tsushima said slowly.

"There is an incomparably perfect and incomparably magnificent dream, as long as I do nothing, it will naturally come to me; but it is just a dream of water, moon, mirror and flower. It has a time limit, and it will be when I wake up from the dream. When it breaks. There's a guy..."

There is a guy who knows that his dream is broken, but he still persists in fishing for the moon in the water with his hands.

Tsushima shook his head, not intending to finish the rest of his words in front of these people.He omitted the words and changed the angle.

"Conversely, neither I nor that guy dare to bet. This dream is so good, it is the most beautiful one I can dream. I dare not destroy it, dare not challenge even the slightest possibility , I even want to help keep the dream in the most beautiful moment. I am afraid that it will be damaged before it is completed. After all..." Tsushima seemed to laugh, and his voice lowered, almost speaking to himself, "...I just coward."

This person babbled a lot of nonsense inexplicably, and everyone looked confused, but they still frowned and tried to think about the meaning of the new member's words.

Kunikida asked Tsushima hesitantly, "So, you mean..."

Shuji Tsushima raised his hand. "I want to hear everyone's opinions. After all, we are an armed detective agency, and Yokohama is also a part of us, isn't it?" He seemed to look around in between movements, "This time is the most appropriate."

One day earlier, he couldn't gain the trust of the Armed Detective Agency; one day later, it was over.

But for Shuji Tsushima, "squeeze the time" is not so easy to understand for others.

Anyway, going to work early this morning, and suddenly learning that the sister of a commune member has been taken away by the port mafia, and hearing such incomprehensible words all of a sudden, normal people should feel angry and puzzled, right?

However, after all, this is an armed detective agency that gathers "weirds" in Zhongzhong.

For recognized members, what "quirks" cannot be tolerated?

Kenji Miyazawa was the first to express his opinion, "Although I don't quite understand it? However," the straw hat boy tilted his head, "If possible, I hope everyone can keep smiling! Well, this is my idea!"

Tanizaki Junichiro also raised his hand in a little confusion: "Well, I don't understand Mr. Tsushima very well. I'm actually not very courageous..." He scratched his face with his fingers and smiled shyly, "But, If it's for my sister Naomi, I'll kill anyone who stands in my way!"

This radical declaration immediately got Akutagawa's response.He had already resisted the urge to rush into the port mafia immediately and listened to the nonsense for a while, but he was still able to stand straight in place, although he exuded killing intent but did not make a move, staring straight at Tsushima: "Stop talking nonsense! "

After a pause, Akutagawa continued.

"If you don't live, you can only die. This is what the slums taught me."

Yosano Akiko didn't raise her head, "Dreams will always wake up, but sooner or later. You might as well make up for your regrets now."

Kunikida Doppo did not hesitate, "In my 'ideal', there is no such thing as shrinking back!"

Oda Sakunosuke turned his head and looked at Tsushima seriously: "If you want to save anyone, go and save. Don't let yourself regret it."

"Save..." Tsushima didn't seem to come up in one breath, and asked a little funny, "Who do I want to save?"

"It's the 'that guy' you just said, right?" Oda Saku repeated with a little confusion.

Tsushima smiled and shook his head, "Odasaku, you have no idea who I want to save."

Oda Sakunosuke was even more confused: "Then you don't want to save him?"

"I—" Tsushima seemed to be choked again, "I'm not...I just...although I have a guess, but..."

No one expected that Tsushima Shuji, who was always so angry that Kunikida spit fire, would stumble and be unable to speak a complete sentence one day.

However, it is rare to appreciate the precious moment of Tsushima's embarrassment, which was interrupted by the words of the visitor.

"—Since it's human life, then go save it." The visitor said in a deep voice, his words resounding loudly: "Don't let anyone's life down. We are an armed detective agency!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up from their chairs in shock.

"President!"

"President!"

"President!"

That's right.Standing at the door of the conference room, with his hands folded in the long sleeves of his kimono, was the president of the Armed Detective Agency, Yukichi Fukuzawa.

The president nodded with everyone, and before leaving, he left his resolute and determined eyes on the temporary members who were granted access:

"Don't forget what you said when you talked to me, Shuji Tsushima."

Encouraged by the president, and at the same time understanding that this sentence contained Edogawa Ranpo's instruction, Tsushima finally made a decision.

He reached out to the files on the table:

"Then let's start with the secret video of the Supernatural Secret Service Division."
