Clock hands go back 20 minutes, Isle of Standard, UK.

In the dense fog area, crimson masonry controlled by gravity floated up and hit the ground, blocking the retreat of the clock tower attendants.

The figure of Nakahara Chuya deftly shuttles between the raindrops of bricks and stones in the street. Her toes are like sharp blades. Every step on her foot will cause the earth and walls to collapse, and the broken stones will float in the air as if losing gravity, becoming Her shield, her weapon, her new home.

The bell tower power user who controls the wind blade set off a madden to attack her, Chuya suddenly stayed in the air in a posture that did not conform to the rules of gravity, and dodged the wind blade that was enough to cut her in half. However, immediately after, the thick fog Among them, a humanoid supernatural power holding a sharp blade appeared behind her silently, stabbing her neck fiercely with the tip of the knife, and she suddenly turned down and grabbed the attacking wrist.

[gravity operation].

Once again, the humanoid ability was smashed into the ground, and the limbs were twisted and unable to move-if the ability user was hit by such a blow, even if he did not die, he would lose his ability to move.

Without any stagnation, Nakahara Chuya once again touched the floating stone with his toe, and reversed the force, and she suddenly accelerated like an arrow off the string/shooting/shooting towards the person with the ability to kill people.

"Chila." The wind ability of the supernatural being's comrade-in-arms entangled her again, and this time it shattered her skirt, and even the black silk stockings on the legs were torn, and blood spattered everywhere. , but only so far.

Because Nakahara Chuya's hand wearing black tulle gloves had already touched the ability user, the ability activated.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

The pain erupted from the sudden crushing of the bones all over his body caused the calm leader to let out an inhuman scream. The scream pierced through the quiet streets of the British Quarter, causing the other two of the bell tower servants to suddenly change. turned pale.

"Boss?"

"Boss?!"

The hunter who sets the trap becomes the prey instead.

Once, a few years ago, there was a murder in the coronation hall of the cathedral in England.The national organization of supernatural beings responsible for protecting the Queen, the "Clock Tower Attendant", died three elite supernatural beings. They did not have any visible injuries on the outside. The cause of death was respiratory failure. Inside, the bones in their bodies were cut into pieces in an instant. 1228 blocks.

This kind of assassination method belonged to Verlaine, the king of assassination at that time. As Chuya Chuya, who had the same ability as Verlaine, she was naturally proficient in this method of killing over the years.

Of course, if it wasn't for Standard Island, I wouldn't have chosen to use such thunderous means to solve the matter, but——

On Standard Island, those with supernatural powers on the island live and die at their own risk.

Since the bell tower servant attacked her first, she must fight back with more brutal means.

Besides—

Feeling the sixth sense that seems to be close at hand, crazily clamoring for the existence of danger, Zhongyuanzhong did not make any pauses, there is no need to confirm the other party's life and death, the bones are broken like this, unless there is a healer on the spot, there will be no survivors Possibly, she directly confronted the second person.

"Hurry up, we can't deal with this gravity ability, damn it, is it a trap set by France?" The bell tower attendant who was able to control the wind suddenly pushed the youngest among them, with a certain voice in his voice. A kind of determination.

He made a mistake, he thought, he didn't expect that the three supernatural beings would not be able to stop the French "messenger" in an ambush, and he didn't expect that France would once again cultivate a supernatural being like Verlaine—I'm afraid they will confess all of them today it's here.

"Run! Run! The farther the better! Your ability is stealth tracking" Attaching the wind ability to the other party, the man is as determined as if he is sinking, he will try his best to stop the monster in front of him, what? A beautiful lady with blue eyes, the other party is no different from a walking demon in his eyes.

"But—" The little third person seemed to be resisting.

Do we want all three of us buried here?The clock tower attendant looked at the gravitational power user who was catching up again, and wanted to reprimand his companion so loudly. He opened his mouth, but he realized that there was a severe pain in his neck, and the sound could not be uttered. Instead, the sound was coughed up blood .

"But—you were the ones who started on my territory first, bell tower attendants." The "clock tower attendant" with only a boyish face said this, he no longer spoke with an English accent, but responded with a French response instead. The knife was inserted into the back of the man's neck, the knife went deep into the vertebrae, and blood flowed down the handle of the knife.

"It seems that you are not surprised at all." The boy watched his "companion" fall, he let go of the knife in his hand, and smiled at Zhongya who was standing not far away, "Are you planning to continue attacking me?"

"No need." Zhong Yuan also pressed the hat on his head, "My purpose is to find you, Mr. Jules Gabriel Verne." She read the other person's name word by word .

"It's me." The boy said without any surprise, his face began to change, from a British boy with freckles to a lonely but tough young man, "I can listen to you for the sake of your hat By the way, the Far Eastern power user who uses gravity, oh yes, were the crepes delicious earlier?" Verne asked gently.

"In other words, Chuya, you flew over directly from the British area, wow, wouldn't you become a flying dwarf-uh." Being elbowed by his partner backhand, Osamu Dazai deliberately arched his back and exclaimed Pain, "It hurts, it hurts, Chuya, you hit hard." He complained and shouted with a bit of grievance in his voice. Although he knew that he was faking, but the proven acting skills must have its own uniqueness, so It sounds extraordinarily easy to soften your heart.

"Dwarf, what a ghost, if it wasn't for someone who came to catch mice on his own initiative, would I have to hurry over here?" Zhong Yuan raised his eyebrows, and the blue eyes that seemed to be full of blades instantly turned to Childish mode of bickering with a partner.

Seeing her arriving, Fyodor, who judged that it was impossible to kill Dazai, immediately sent a signal, and his accomplice who was good at space abilities took her away directly, leaving only the words "Then see Dazai next time." Then there is no trace.

He couldn't even see the appearance of the space power user who sneaked up.

Nakahara Nakaya's idea of ​​trying to control the nearby gravity to imprison the space power user and catch the mouse fell through with her sloppy escape style. She said "呿", and grabbed Osamu Dazai's Poirot tie with her backhand to force him to bow his head. "So, is he the shady person this time?" She asked Osamu Dazai.

"Ah, this, it's about the same, but anyway, it should be almost disintegrated." After chatting with the kind Russian mouse once, Osamu Dazai basically figured out the whole story, "As you and I guessed, Shimao There is a problem with the veterans hired by the Internet."

When they saw [Graugeist], they almost guessed that there was a problem with the other party, but—

"This time I guessed in the right direction~ So Nakaya lost~" Osamu Dazai held up a finger proudly, because with the information and speculation that Tatsuhiko Shibusawa might land on the island, he easily deduced Wu Soldiers with supernatural powers will use the special ability of the white mist to isolate the supernatural beings to seize control of the island, and think differently that the devil will set up another insurance besides this-that is, bombs.

"Hey, bastard Dazai, I think you are proud of me." Nakahara Chuya puffed up his face, annoyed to see the young man squawking in front of him, "La la la Chuya loses", his hands were itchy, but it was Dazai Osamu who won So if I beat him for this, I would be making trouble for no reason.

This is their tacit understanding as partners.

No way, she did make a mistake in judgment.

Because Mimic was expelled from England by the Clock Tower Attendant, Zhong Yuanzhong also thought that the Clock Tower Attendant might have cooperated with the former French soldiers. She had a different idea and decided to find the Clock Tower Attendant first, but it just happened to hit him. Shibusawa Tatsuhiko who used his abilities extensively in the UK area.

The actions of Shuanghei and Heilong did not require much verbal communication. In fact, the moment the white mist appeared, Zhong Yuanzhong realized her deduction error, but at that time her thoughts were still worried about Verne who was also underground. It will be affected by the white fog. Once the power of [Mysterious Island] gets out of control, it will be no less lethal than the entire island hitting Yokohama, so she decided to continue to go deep into the fog area by herself, and handed over the task of relieving the military crisis to Sigma.On the one hand, it is to seek revenge for Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, on the other hand, if [Mysterious Island]'s ability really explodes, she will always have a way to solve it as the carrier of Huangba's vomiting.

but--

"So Verne himself didn't lose control, and he was even able to walk in the fog zone, right?" Osamu Dazai sized up his partner, and there were not many injuries on his body, which meant that he hadn't fought against the transcendent, that is——

The other party let her go.

"Zhongye's luck is good, and he thought I needed to come to the rescue." He hugged his partner with a smile, and Zhongyuan Zhongye didn't throw him out because he was willing to admit defeat.

"That's right, that's the most legendary [betrayer] who has gone through the battle of supernatural powers. Isn't it natural that he can do such a thing." Zhong Yuan said in a hoarse voice.

"A war unimaginable to ordinary people once took place on this island. Every day, every minute and every second, people with supernatural abilities, ordinary people, weapons of mass destruction, and supernatural abilities have all come to this island. Then, I was defeated by [us]." In the dense fog, Verne slowly told the younger generation who had a face similar to that of the old man, talking about the past that happened on the island.

"[We] have experienced innumerable infiltration incidents. In the interval between convincing those people, we have witnessed all the offensive methods that human beings can think of, and witnessed the deepest and darkest dark side of human nature. , It's nothing at all." Zhong also heard the pride mixed with nostalgia from the other party's tone for no reason.

"It's conceivable." She said after considering her words. If it wasn't for this, this island wouldn't carry so many abilities, and it wouldn't give her the feeling of "spitting out a barbarian".

Verne, whose own abilities are so strong that they are close to self-contradictory abilities, of course, will not be afraid of these white mist.

"So, you're, um... watching a play?" she asked Verne.

"Maybe." The young man, that is, Verne, was stunned for a moment, and said with a chuckle without denying, "Because guarding this island day after day may be a bit boring, and it is rare to see some variables. I can’t help but want to read it.” He was a little bit embarrassed when he said this, although he said that he helped the subordinate of the woman in front of him and another person who healed the ability with a little help through the ability, but because he felt that The situation is controllable, so it's true that it's a bit incompetent to fish and watch a show or something.

What he didn't say was the envy in his heart, whether it was the French soldiers who were attacking the so-called rudder area, or the two young men confronting each other in the observation room, or Sigma and Xie who were rushing to solve the incident. Akiko Ye, and even the few bell tower servants who died at his hands, were the envy of his lonely guardian of the island.

Compared to the self who became alone again after the war, those who acted together with their companions...the way they stand side by side, I really envy them.

Zhongyuan Zhong also silently felt some thoughts that the transcendent in front of her did not say. She would not say anything more, because it is very important to protect the island and leave a place where the partners may be able to reunite in the future. A mission that Verne himself firmly believed in.

"Then what about you, what is your purpose here, heir to the legacy of Rimbaud and Verlaine." Verne glanced at Chuya Nakahara's hat, which was the reason why he didn't make a move right away. That pair of spy team: the most vigorous transcendent with long black hair and his blond partner, that pair of young people used to be the closest double stars that attracted each other, and the bond between them made him envious.

"Did the French organization of supernatural beings come to you?" Verne asked. After sneak attacking the bell tower servants and replacing one of them, Verne certainly heard about the other party's purpose——with the help of David H. Bert Lawrence's so-called legacy intel to hunt down French psychics.

"Well, there is such a request, but seeing you, I feel that even if I say it, I won't get the answer those people in France want? So it doesn't matter." Zhong Yuanzhong also said frankly, spreading his hands. It is not the 14-year-old boy who was crying and afraid of loneliness and self-enclosed in Verlaine's description. On the contrary, perhaps his heart is still surrounded by loneliness. Verne, who is already a betrayer, has something extremely firm and must be protected-witnessing the innocence of human nature. He is so cruel that he wants to maintain the balance of this island. Just like its name "Standard", this island actually represents the post-war balance of the three powers of Britain, France and Germany. In this case, of course he will not fall to any side, including his mother country France. .

It is impossible for such a person to be swayed by a few words, she thought, this is a guardian who can find fun by himself, and the so-called loneliness in his heart is actually not unsolvable, at least—"Crepes are indeed very It’s delicious, that’s right, it helped me a lot at that time.” Zhong Yuanzhong also said that, anyway, all the attendants of the clock tower are dead, and the main task has not been completed, and the secondary task has not been completed, and those Frenchmen can’t pick her. prick.

"Well, that's great if you like it, then you're going to—"

"As a result, that child didn't come to clean up this... um... the humanoid ability." Standing in the center of London, Verne looked towards the direction where [White Qilin] suddenly disappeared—failed to get his beloved ability. The capable Shibusawa Tatsuhiko chose to leave first when he realized the threat.As he thought so, driven by his thoughts and abilities, the street scene that had been destroyed by the battle of the abilities gradually returned to what it was before tonight.

"Miss Nakahara, are you not going to do anything to that Shibusawa Tatsuhiko?" Verne asked after seeing that Nakahara Nakahara seemed to be planning to leave the foggy area and go elsewhere after the conversation.

"This..." Nakahara Nakahara, who was tearing off the hem of his skirt to bandage the wound, sighed, "Although I really want to punch that guy in the face, but there is still a guy who is better at killing than Shibusawa Tatsuhiko waiting for me Put him down." She said in a disgusted tone, and went to catch the mice herself, did Osamu Dazai really think he was a cat?

Bah, it's obviously a mackerel, but of course a creature as cute as a cat can't be Osamu Dazai!

Thinking of the young man with the ability to nullify the ability that he saw next to her during the day, the scenes of young men and women fighting each other made Verne smile knowingly: "I need a lady to save me, the men in the Far East are really bad. Woolen cloth."

"Isn't that right? I like to kill myself at the middle and lower levels of physical arts. I can't let people worry about it. I hate it." Zhong Yuanzhong also complained loudly, the gravity on his body The ability was activated, and people rushed towards the observation post like arrows leaving the string.

But you are a supernatural being who gave up the blade and would rather break into the thick fog and be hunted down by the clock tower attendants. Thinking this way, the guardian of Standard Island probably understands why these two men and women are called "Double Black" by the bell tower attendants.

"But Chuu was late by one minute, and his reasoning was wrong, so as a punishment, Chuu will also be my maid tonight." On the top of the observation tower, Dazai Osamu loudly said his request as the winner.

"...I hate it so much, I got it! Next time, next time, I will never let you be so proud!" Nakahara Chuya was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "Then what do you want next? Master Dazai ?” she asked through gritted teeth.

This... Dazai Osamu thought about it carefully, and he held Nakahara Chuya's hand: "Let's get out of here first, Chuya, you treat the wound, and then... let's have a cup of hot cocoa together." The young man said with a smile .

Just like he had expected before.

The author has something to say:

Hmm... Jules Verne's personal understanding is that apart from loneliness and longing for a partner, there should be an extremely firm and unshakable side, so the so-called persuasion or anything else is impossible ╮(╯▽╰ )╭
