[Wen Ye] Miss Nakahara's Revenge

(27)

At the same time, Kunikida Doppo was also talking about "Stardard Island" in the office of the Armed Detective Agency in an old office building in Yokohama.

"Large ocean floating city - it is said that it was jointly designed and built by Germany, Britain, and France after the war. Therefore, it is also a territory jointly ruled by these three countries. Such a floating island is always floating in the South Pacific Ocean. It is used as a tourist attraction. It exists in form, this time when we came to the coast of Yokohama, we need to issue a task entrustment from the Supernatural Secret Service Section—" He read the official information and their entrustment carefully in his notebook, and when he looked up, he found that the current situation of the office:

Edogawa Ranpo was digging into his snack bag;

Manicure with Akiko Yosano with a scalpel;

Osamu Dazai hung up his earphones and hummed the strangely tuned "Song of Sacrifice for Love";

Tanizaki Junichiro and Tanizaki Naomi brothers and sisters who are new to the detective agency as an intern are playing erotic flirting games that seem to be found in limited-level games. The beautiful girl who is not yet a teenager and dressed as JK has even touched her brother's T-shirt. among……

"Hey!!! Listen to me, you guys!!!" Doppo Kunikida, who was serious about his work, said that he would be blown up by his fish-catching colleagues.

"Well, it's a troublesome but boring thing."——It was Edogawa Ranpo who found the gift in the bag who said so.

"The authorities may not be able to figure it out themselves, they deserve it~" Yosano Akiko blew on her nails without raising her head.

"One person can't die for love~ But, but, for two people—" Dazai Osamu, who seems to have not heard Kunikida's voice, is immersed in his own song world.

"Uh, Naomi is not here... May I ask Mr. Kunikida, what is the mission this time?" Junichiro Tanizaki, the only youthful newcomer present, struggled to "break free" from his sister's "clutch". The younger sister's closeness is more like embarrassment to the orthopedic communication between brothers and sisters in the public - what seems wrong with this description?

"The Supernatural Secret Service Division entrusts the detective agency to send agents to land on the island and monitor and protect the safety of people in the country when necessary, until they leave the coast of Yokohama and enter the high seas." Kunikida Doppo said, "Since the island is an internationally renowned resort There are countless wealthy people in the Far East eager to go to the island for consumption.”

"Uh... Shouldn't this be the work of the Metropolitan Police Department or other departments?"

"That's right, but—" Kunikida Doppo had a slightly complicated expression on his face. I don't know if it was because of the incident itself or the government's subtle attitude when entrusting it.

"Because the group of wastes in the Metropolitan Police Department don't have that power, or something simpler, [Because it is a defeated country, it not only has no right to dictate to Western countries, but even bows down and sends foreigners off]. They want to save face and say Don't say it, it's a territory shared by Britain, France and Germany, how can the Far East have the right to search it?" Yosano Akiko pursed his lips and said harsh words, compared to other people present, he personally experienced the last power battle, Even witnessing death on the battlefield, she has a very complicated perception of her own side, hating her for what she deserves, yet unable to contain her anger at her groveling.

War is cruel, impersonal, and without justice, at least in the Far East. In the later period, such an irrational and frantic battle situation at a disadvantage, but in order to prove to the upper echelons the influence of the so-called supernatural power on the battle situation, the Far East even made people from No chance to retreat on the battlefield...

Otherwise, how could the concept of [Undead Legion] be proposed and realized.

Hearing such a blunt and harsh comment, Kunikida Doppo coughed twice in embarrassment, "Ahem, anyway, just like what Dr. Yosano said, the police in our country have no right to interfere with that island, so we must rely on the help of the people. Detective agency to maintain the safety of the people of the country, so, who of you would--" carry out this task.

"This situation, of course, is caused by Kunikida-kun, who is the most dedicated and responsible person in our detective agency—" Osamu Dazai finally took off his earphones, and his eyes still stayed on the "Complete Suicide Manual" in his hand , exaggerated tone.

Before he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door of the detective agency.

"So, those people in France want to reconnect with Jules Gabriel Verne through you." In the deepest basement of PortMafia, filled with the sweet and fragrant aroma of white wine, Verlaine shook his wine glass with such an expression With a trace of dignity, "It seems that you owed them a big favor earlier?" He turned his probing eyes to the "sister" in front of him.

After understanding the meaning of the question in the other party's words, Zhong Yuanzhong did not hide it. She took a sip of what was in the cup and explained in the sweetness of "liquid gold": "They didn't say it clearly, they just hoped that I would contact you as a middleman. The person responsible for that island. As for the reason, a year ago, in order to bring Sigma back from Western Europe without being held accountable, I sought help from the French official supernatural organization channel, and this action is their compensation.”

Sigma's ability is that when touching others, he can exchange "the information that the person being touched most wants from him" with "the information he most wants to get from the person being touched", which is very useful for the dark side Therefore, since he can remember, he has experienced: being caught by human traffickers, forced to participate in various criminal activities, escaping, and being caught and used again.Although the young man's resume is only a little over a year, it has already been so dark that even Zhong was surprised. After getting to know him carefully, she was determined to bring Sigma out of the quagmire, but because of the special effect of his ability, in order to get him It took a lot of effort to bring it away from Europe. Fortunately, she had a lot of friendship in Europe, and the French official organization of supernatural beings helped in it, and she owed favors because of this.

"However, the Verne you mentioned... er, isn't that...?" Zhongyuan Zhong also frowned, she realized the seriousness, one of the well-known [Seven Betrayers], although this name is nowhere known to ordinary people , but it would be strange if she didn't know about the seven people who are on the top of the most wanted lists in various countries.

"Yes, that's Verne, who used to work for the official French organization of supernatural beings, and then left out of his own will and became a traitor." Verlaine said, he put down his wine glass, and the golden and red supernatural powers in his hands piled up like cubes to form An island-like shape, "His ability is named [Mysterious Island]. According to our understanding as colleagues back then, Verne can use a certain range of territory that belongs to him as the scope of his ability and absorb it in the territory." The ability of the dead supernatural user was close to that of a transcendent at the beginning, but after the war, after absorbing the abilities of so many people, he must have reached the level of a transcendent now, and that Stardard island is His current [territory]."

Thinking of the lonely boy they saw back then when they were still in France, because he lost his parents in the war and seemed closed off, Verlaine's tone was a little bit sad.

People's experiences are incredible and impermanent, just like the years when he and Attil broke up after going to the Far East, like Verne who looked lonely and thin, but became a traitor at the end of the war.

"Didn't it mean that it is the common territory of Britain, France and Germany?" As soon as the Central Plains Chuya words were spoken, he realized his naivety. Wasn't the country where [the seven traitors] forced their heads to negotiate peace back then...

"Erasing part of the truth is nothing more than the inversion of cause and effect. During the war, it was just an uninhabited artificial island. After the peace talks, in order to preserve a facility that allows countries to negotiate secretly when there are conflicts, it was preserved there. Come down." He still looked at Zhong Ye with puzzled eyes, patiently explaining the truth that should have been classified as confidential.

Although he had just left Yokohama and wandered around during that time, as a professionally trained spy from a European supernatural agency, it was Verlaine's instinct to obtain information and find the truth—he even thought about going to the island to take over those heads of state, but because Judgment cannot give up as an enemy of the seven transcendents.

"That's right, that island is where the heads of state were captured and forcibly negotiated."

It is such an island that was once full of blood and bloody, and countless spy agencies and armies of various countries were defeated. After the war, it turned into a world-renowned tourist attraction and a paradise for the rich. The reality is too ironic.

But the French wanted to reconnect with Verne at this time, thinking that the islands that had been drifting in the South Pacific before would actually approach Yokohama. Although Verlaine had insufficient information because he lived deep underground, his instincts made him guess that there must be some of them. Unknown, extremely important reason.

"From a personal point of view, I don't recommend you to go to Stardard Island alone." He said to the similar girl in front of him, "Verne, he...in fact, he didn't have the belief of standing on any side. When he became The traitor may not have been 15 years old at the time, at that age, people are too easily swayed." It is ironic that Verlaine himself said this, as an artificial supernatural power, he himself had no borders and beliefs at that time. He pursued the freedom of "inhumans", that's why he became a troublesome figure wanted by all countries, until he realized the heartache and apology late in the ruins... The person who taught him and sincerely blessed him has already...

Silently drinking a whole glass of wine, Verlaine used this to conceal the sudden surge of sadness in his heart.

"Such a person has become a world-renowned traitor?" Zhong Yuanzhong couldn't understand it, but she seemed to be able to understand it. There are many young and promising people around her, and she has seen all the stupidity they committed.

"When a person wants to accomplish something, he may not realize the horror of what he is doing. Although I have no doubts about your strength, if you really seek insurance, I suggest you seek your insurance. Partner's assistance." As he said this, he saw Zhong Yuanzhong also sip all the wine in the glass.

"Osamu Dazai has defected." Although he knew that the conversation in this underground facility would not be monitored by Mori Ogai, Nakahara Chuya's tone was still very stiff.

"I didn't even mention his name, Chuya, you are inseparable, my sister." Verlaine poked at her lazily.

How could that gloomy young man who calculated him all the time back then really break off his relationship with his sister? Osamu Dazai's obsession with Chuya Nakahara is so deep that it moved him, Verlaine thought, otherwise he would not have Want to make him the first assassination target.He looked at his "sister" with the helpless eyes of someone who had passed by, and Zhong Yuanzhong was so uncomfortable that he almost exploded.

"It's just a proposal anyway, it's your freedom."

Verlaine's eyes fell on the chocker on Zhongya Zhongya's neck, but he was thinking in his heart that when he was self-enclosed in the basement of PortMafia, the first person to come to him was not even Zhongya Zhongya—she was difficult at that time. Let go of the death of a friend.

——It was Dazai Osamu, who was about to leave for Europe as a partner, and after obtaining the permission of the leader, he came to ask himself for information on everyone in Europe.

After drinking a few drinks with Verlaine and successfully getting the information, Chuya Nakahara, who was a little drunk, left the basement and drove away from the PortMafia building.

It was late in the evening, on the congested bridge in Yokohama, she opened the window, and with one hand on the window, she was thinking about how to deal with the French commission.

The French superhuman organization offered generous conditions this time. No matter whether the final result was successful or not, they would cancel the favor she owed earlier, and they were willing to cooperate with PortMafia's business in Europe to give more in-depth authority and preferential treatment.

——This is the reason why Boss Mori Ogai was aware of his actions but did not interfere. He would not let go of the opportunity to expand the overseas market, and it was also in line with his optimal solution theory that Nakahara Chuya came forward to deal with it.

But the problem is that she doesn't have enough information about the specific situation of that [island]. Why did Verne suddenly want to sail off the coast of Yokohama, and what changes will happen on the island...

Do you really want to tell Osamu Dazai about it?

Nakahara Chuya was a little uncertain in his heart. Although the other party was his resident for the time being, but because of their different work stances, she and Dazai Osamu kept room for non-interference with each other in the field of work.She knew that Osamu Dazai was handling private commissions at the Armed Detective Agency during the day, fishing, and also guessed that the other party might have other contact and investigation work in private, and Osamu Dazai also knew that she was doing business related to dark violence every day .But knowing each other does not mean crossing the line to intervene. This is their tacit understanding. Nakahara will not take the initiative to investigate the whereabouts of Osamu Dazai.

If they cross the line, they may not end well. I don’t care, the sensitive boss at the top may not have such a good tolerance. When the time comes, the master and apprentice will force her to get involved, and it will be troublesome. Think a little troubled.

At this moment, her sight was attracted by a group of people on the sidewalk of the bridge—a bandage wasteman in a camel trench coat was walking towards her, and behind him were several strangers: old-fashioned suits, hair The gray dress doesn't look like PortMafia, but more like the butlers she saw at some business receptions, who belonged to those old families in the Far East.

Osamu Dazai passed by the sports car where she was sitting, as if he didn't notice where Chuya Nakahara was at all, and Chuya swore that she heard some words from the stranger who was following him.

"Master Xiuzhi, at home..."

The unfamiliar address made her raise her eyebrows, it seemed that someone was in trouble.

As a result, in the next second, without any warning, Osamu Dazai suddenly put his hands on the fence of the bridge, and the young man leaped over the fence lightly, and then jumped into the river.

Chuya: …………………

Amidst the panicked shouts of the strangers and passers-by, she started the car and drove forward with a black face.

Ah... Let her think about it, where does the downstream of this river come from...?

The author has something to say:

...It's not human's work to work overtime on National Day _(:з)∠)_I have to work overtime after only three days... It's heartbreaking to find out that my hair is falling out early in the morning.

Jules Verne is related to the official novel "55min", part of the description has magic changes, anyway, it is a fan ╮(╯▽╰)╭
