mudslides in the magic world

That night, most people in Yokohama were disturbed by gunshots, cursing and deafening booming, which kept them awake all night.

But these have nothing to do with Mori Ogai.

After Mori Ogai left the headquarters building of the Mori Club, he first went to his small clinic in the past, changed his clothes, concealed himself to prevent others from tracking him, and came to a hidden mansion.

This is a safe house of his teacher Natsume Soseki. Mori Ogai hoped to get some help from his teacher Natsume Soseki, and Natsume Soseki sent this address after receiving the news.

Mori Ogai saw the teacher he hadn't seen for a long time in the room, and Mori Ogai said with emotion: "Long time no see, it's great to see that you are in good spirits."

Natsume Soseki was wearing a home jacket. He sat on the sofa and sighed after seeing Mori Ogai: "It's hard for you these days. I roughly know what your doubts are. Sit down."

Time was running short, and after exchanging a few words with Natsume Soseki, Mori Ogai and Natsume Soseki asked with embarrassment, "Teacher, who is behind the Takahara Company?"

Natsume Soseki asked Mori Ogai: "Why did you detain their goods?"

"Because European spies took the initiative to lurk in the warehouse area, just to follow the people who came to pick up the goods."

Mori Ogai said solemnly: "Takahara's company is located in Tokyo. Koyo Ozaki said that the company operates gray business, but it has attracted foreign spies. I am worried that she will bring harm to Tokyo, so I want to see the relationship between Takahara and spies."

Natsume Soseki took a deep look at Mori Ogai, he knew that the student's words were not true.

Rather than worrying about the highland company harming Tokyo, it is better to test the highland company. If they can find a handle, they can swallow the highland company directly.

But as an underworld force, it is understandable to think so.

Natsume Soseki said, "Behind the Takahara Company is the magic world."

"...The magic world?" Mori Ogai tried hard to recall, and finally dug out a little bit of news about the magic world in his mind, "You mean those monks who can eliminate spirits?"

"Monks, witches, shugenjas, onmyojis, conjurers, psychics, shrine priests...these are the forces that have been handed down from ancient times to deal with the affairs of gods and ghosts."

Natsume Soseki said slowly: "Since modern times, with the development of science and technology, and the wisdom of the people, these powers of gods and gods have also begun to decline, but after all, there are thousands of years of inheritance, even if the power they have weakened. The energy of the economy and business activity is also very scary."

Natsume Soseki gave the simplest example: "When the capital was moved back then, Edo, which is now Tokyo, was established as the capital. Many big families bought land around Tokyo. With the continuous expansion of Tokyo, the land on the edge of the suburbs Instead, it became the center of the city, and these big families became landlords."

Who privatized the country's land!No matter how powerful the modern consortiums are, they still have to pay rent to others!

Mori Ogai frowned: "I haven't heard of conjurer activities in Yokohama."

Natsume Soseki's expression was a bit subtle: "Because since Yokohama became a concession, magicians will not come here."

It's all a concession, and it's not the border of the country. The number of magicians has always been small, why come here?

"And this is the city with the most supernatural powers."

Natsume Soseki hinted implicitly: "As a department that manages people with supernatural abilities, the Secret Service Division also needs to have its own territory of influence."

To put it bluntly, people with supernatural abilities have only appeared in a few decades, and they are incomparable with those small circles that have been passed down for thousands of years.

To enhance the power, status, and interests of people with supernatural abilities, they must find another way. It happened that Yokohama was abandoned by the magic world after being rented out. The people with supernatural abilities immediately delineated Yokohama as their sphere of influence.

People with supernatural powers need to prove that their power is necessary and useful. Otherwise, how can they ask Congress for a budget and how can they improve their status and influence?

The conjuration world also looked down on this kind of ability that cannot be passed down, and with the mentality of "see how long you can jump", the director department placed one or two observers in Yokohama. The duty of these observers is to observe Whether there is a special magic spirit in Yokohama that may harm Tokyo is only an early warning.

The magic spirits that popped up in Yokohama were dealt with by people with supernatural powers, so Mori Ogai never saw any traces of magicians in Yokohama.

Mori Owai let out a sigh of relief, so he accidentally offended an ancient force?

He smiled wryly: "Listen to you, conjurers have a long tradition, and the Gaoyuan Company is lucky to have directly climbed to the high branch."

Mori Ogai asked again: "Then why do European spies trouble the magic world?"

"Because two conjurers traveled abroad, they were inadvertently involved in the operation of cleaning up supernatural power experiments in Europe. They rolled back some experimental materials. After returning to China, the two conjurers directly handed in the materials."

Natsume Soseki glared at Mori Ogai, "Foreign forces are eyeing these two conjurers, and the Secret Service Division is in charge of dealing with the aftermath. They would never have leaked the news, but you meddled and exposed everything instead."

Mori Ogai groaned in his heart, no wonder Fukuji Sakurachi's butt sat crookedly on Ozaki Koyo's side, it turned out that the conjurers had already offered greater benefits.

"...I see, this time it's me, Meng Lang."

Mori Ogai cheered up: "But I have arranged for someone to cooperate with the Secret Service to produce a report on American meddling. Why is there still compensation?"

Natsume Soseki said strangely: "You detained their goods, shouldn't you compensate them?"

Mori Ogai said pitifully: "They want 50 billion. If they can't get it within three days, they will directly buy the land in all areas of the port..."

Natsume Soseki really didn't know about this, he said with a dazed face, "Did you really lose their goods?"

Mori Ogai shook his head quickly: "No, I just want to hold it for a few days to see the situation. The things are intact."

Natsume Soseki waved his hand: "You can just return the things. The purchase of the land is probably just passing by. The port area is a chaotic place. What did they buy it for? Besides, Yokohama is the sphere of influence of the Secret Service. It won't cross the line."

Natsume Soseki thought for a while, and gave Mori Ogai a reassurance: "Don't worry, I will help you find out the situation, even if the other party really wants compensation, the Secret Service and the military police will have to pay, after all, they got the benefits. "

After hearing this, Mori Ogai hesitated to speak, did he really just have to return it?

But, but he has already launched the Yokohama chaos plan, and he has also sold the hospital for supernatural surgery. It is estimated that the hospital will be attacked tonight, and it is impossible for things to calm down.

"Thank you, teacher, for the trouble."

Although his mind was full of messy thoughts, Sen Ou showed gratitude on his face, and he said solemnly: "Now we are blaming the Americans for this matter, and American spies will come to investigate the situation soon. Right? What does it mean?"

Natsume Soseki sighed again: "The conjurer world said that the matter is left to them to handle, and they don't believe in the level of the Secret Service."

Mori Ogai was shocked: "Can a small domestic circle influence the United States?"

Natsume Soseki smiled bitterly: "Who made their profession a monopoly? For example, the abilities of people with supernatural powers are random, and the spells of conjurers are also random, but the spells of Yusanjia can be passed down. As long as the blood of the Yusan family is still there, there will be a steady stream of magicians from the Yusan family, which is something that people with supernatural powers can't match."

Mori Ogai's mood was extremely complicated, and a sullen anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

It turns out that in the eyes of the magic world, these people with supernatural powers are summer worms, and summer worms are indescribable. The magicians didn't take them in the eyes of people with supernatural powers at all!

How arrogant!How arrogant!

Mori Ogai murmured, "That Zenin Eiki who was sought by European spies..."

Natsume Soseki: "Well, he was born in the Zenyuan family of the Yusanjia. He has been the face of the Yusanjia in recent years. It is said that he is likely to be the next patriarch of the Zenyuan. What you deduct is his goods."

Ogai Mori asked, "Do you have any information about Eiki of the Zen Academy?"

Natsume Soseki's expression was a little subtle: "There is no paper information, but I can tell you that the senior director of the magic circle is very afraid of Zenyuan Eiki, and thinks he is a sinister, cunning, despicable and shameless person."

Mori Ogai: "..."

Ah, this evaluation sounds a bit dangerous.

From the perspective of Mori Ogai, this evaluation is a very high praise!

After Mori Ogai put a label on the head of Eiji in the Zen Academy, he asked again: "A white-haired boy came that night. He leveled the warehouse area and the headquarters building. He is... ?”

"Gojo Patriarch of the Gosan Family." Natsume Soseki warned Mori Ogai, "In their profession, the younger you are, the more powerful you are. Don't provoke Gojo Satoru. The director of the magic circle even directly said that he is the strongest magician. In the next era, the entire group of conjurers will live in his shadow."

Mori Ogai sneered: "So powerful? Even better than a transcendent?"

Natsume Soseki shook his head: "I haven't met Gojo Satoru, but judging by the confident look of the director department, they seem to think so."

Mori Ogai was furious: "Since you are so powerful, if you represented our country in the battle, how could our country be defeated?"

Natsume Soseki looked at Mori Ogai as if he was looking at an ignorant child.

"They are a professional monopoly. If our country wins, their benefits will naturally be indispensable. If our country loses, we cannot do without them. The most important thing is... what does ordinary people's war have to do with them?"

Even in the Warring States Period, which was turbulent for a hundred years, conjurers still had a good life. Even because of the difficult times and ghosts and ghosts everywhere, conjurers, onmyojis, witches and other priests got along better!

Mori Ogai felt that his three views were about to be subverted, and he couldn't help but say, "What about the national recruitment?"

Natsume Soseki: "Do you know the curse master?"

Mori Ogai didn't know, but he could tell from the name that it was not a good thing.

"Curse masters correspond to curse masters. They are best at cursing people, cursing bloodlines, cursing families, and cursing fortune."

Natsume Soseki, "Ordinary people can't see curse spirits. If they are forced to recruit, conjurers will switch to become curse masters. Do you want all people with supernatural powers to be bodyguards for politicians and high-ranking officials? But people with supernatural powers don't Even the incantation equipment provided by the conjurer cannot exorcise the incantation spirit!"

Silly apprentice, this is a seller's market!Once the seller is upset, he can also set up the stall and curse you in circles!

Mori Ogai was so aggrieved, after co-authoring, he could only look at that woman Ozaki Koyo puffed up, and he didn't have the slightest way to fight against the woman?

At this moment, the night sky outside the window suddenly brightened, Mori Ogai and Natsume Soseki looked out the window at the same time, their complexions changed drastically.

Although the distance is far, the eyes of the two supernatural power users are good. They both saw the blue flame cloud entrenched in the night sky. Looking at the location, it is the headquarters of the Mori Club!

Mori Ogai: Fortunately, I can run fast.

Mori Ogai anxiously said to Natsume Soseki: "Teacher, is the magic world taking revenge on me in advance?"

Natsume Soseki shook his head: "No, they don't like your power."

Mori Ogai said again: "Could it be a European spy?"

Natsume Soseki lamented: "It may be that the spy during the day and Zenyuan Eiji found out that the Zenyuan family was still staring at the Mori Society after the war, thinking you still have something!"

Mori Ogai: Huh?Wait, did Verlaine fight with Zenyuan Yingji?Zenyuan Eiji is the backer of Ozaki Hongye. If Zenyuan Eiji and Verlaine reach an agreement, Verlaine will learn about Chuya Chuya from Zenyuan Eki.

But Verlaine still came to Mori Club, that is to say, the conversation between Yingji and Verlaine of the Chanyuan collapsed!

Mori Ogai watched the blue cloud pounce down, and then disappeared into countless meteors, his heart was like a firework blooming, he was extremely happy.

With so much commotion, it seems that the matter cannot be suppressed any longer. In addition, the major underworld forces were attacked tonight, and the military and police supernatural surgery hospital was finished... Hahaha, this game has been brought to life by him!

"It looks like European spies are after me."

Sen Ou showed bitterness outside: "Teacher, I have to go back quickly. I would like to ask you to say something nice to the Yusan family."

Natsume Soseki nodded: "Go, be careful on the road, we must master Yokohama's underground forces and smuggling channels, otherwise spies come and go at will, it is really too troublesome and makes us too passive."

Mori Ogai said solemnly: "Leave it to me, teacher."

Accompanied by the blue light and rain, Mori Ogai happily left the safe house.

With Master Natsume's words and the fact that European spies are staring at the magic world, presumably the Chanyuan family will not be able to take care of him for a while, right?

At this moment, Mori Ogai only hopes that Verlaine can kill the woman Ozaki Koyo, as long as Ozaki Koyo is dead, Mori Ogai thinks that the Chanyuan family will not care who the chess piece is, but only whether there is someone to do things well.

The Mori Society did offend the Chanyuan, but it also gave the Mori Society the opportunity to contact the Yusanjia and apply for meritorious service!

At that time, Mori Club can completely replace Gao Yuan Company and become the person in charge of Yusanjia's external smuggling operations.

But the outcome of this matter does not depend on Mori Ogai, but depends on the game between Verlaine, Rantang, Koyo Ozaki, and even Chuya Nakahara.

Mori Ogai counted the cards in his hand, but still felt that there were too few.

Thinking of Yosano Akiko who was stolen by the detective agency, Mori Ogai was ready to move, should he steal the cute little Akiko?It's just that Edogawa Ranpo is a little troublesome.

Ah, there is also the lovely student Dazai, he is still at the headquarters of the Mori Club, he should be fine, right?

Mori Ogai thought irresponsibly, that kid has his abilities nullified and is so smart, he should have run away long ago.

Actually?Dazai Osamu, who was identified as shrewd by Mori Ogai, is facing Zenyuan Eiki, who was identified as a high-risk person by the Superintendent Department and the Secret Service Division.

After Osamu Dazai said that everything had nothing to do with him and was all caused by his teacher Mori Ogai, Eiki's eyes widened slightly, and he stared at the black-haired one-eyed kid in front of him, with a look of doubt on his face.

"But Verlaine said you did it."

Eiki grabbed the door frame of the helicopter, her whole body was outside.

The fuselage of the plane was tilted here and there, as if it would fall down at any time, but Eiji's figure followed the plane up and down, like the most experienced fisherman who has been tested by wind and waves, turning a blind eye to such bumps.

Osamu Dazai looked more and more weak and pitiful, he blinked his iris-colored eyes, and complained softly, "I really didn't mean to."

This statement is easily misleading, and can be interpreted as either he did not intend to do it himself, or he was forced to do so.

Eiji naturally couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but he didn't care about the truth either.

He was noncommittal: "Really?"

Osamu Dazai raised his eyes, looking cautious: "What I said is true."

Yingji didn't care about this, anyway, he got the things back!

Eiki looked sideways at the ground, then at Osamu Dazai: "Can't you control the helicopter? Then let me drive it."

The helicopter flew crookedly towards the ground, Eiji didn't want her graduation gift to be lost.

After a pause, Eiji glanced at Dazai Osamu's chest: "Are you injured?"

Osamu Dazai said obediently, "It's just a small injury."

The monster made of white bones was very fast. Although Osamu Dazai skillfully used his ability to nullify the attack and successfully found the bones at the core of the monster, Osamu Dazai was still cut by the bone blade.

It's just that Osamu Dazai didn't care about the injury on his body, and even felt that this little pain could stimulate him to stay awake, so he let it go.

Yingji nodded: "I think your vitality is still very strong, you won't die."

Dazai Osamu's expression became extremely cold for a moment, but Eiki didn't see it.

Eiki cast the floating spell, jumped out of the helicopter, walked around to the door of the cockpit, opened the door, and pushed Osamu Dazai to the co-pilot's seat.

Eiki slumped into the cab, condescendingly looking for Oda Sakunosuke who evacuated first while trying to sail.

Yingji was in a very good mood, he finally got his graduation gift, and he could even fly directly!

Osamu Dazai sat quietly in the co-pilot, probably because he noticed that Eiji's aura was relaxed and happy. Osamu Dazai first looked at Eiji curiously, and then he asked, "Are you looking for a teammate?"

Yingji nodded: "Yes."

Osamu Dazai asked again, "Where are you going?"

Eiki looked at Osamu Dazai strangely: "Go to the police station."

Osamu Dazai's face was slightly stiff: "Go to the police station?"

Ying Ji said that he is a law-abiding and good citizen: "Yes, you confiscated my things, or the mafia, of course I want to call the police."

The corner of Dazai Osamu's mouth twitched, and he thought that if he went to the police station, if the police found out his identity and sent him back to Aomori, it would be disgusting.

He first pretended to sigh: "I am only 14 years old, I was abducted to Yokohama by human traffickers, and I don't want to join the Mori Club, but I have no choice..."

Eiki was startled, he subconsciously glanced at Osamu Dazai, and muttered softly.

"Really? But you don't look like this kind of person. If you don't want to do it, who can force you?"

Osamu Dazai endured it, but he couldn't hold it back. He asked, "Then what kind of person am I in your heart?"

"A man of great action, intelligence, and eloquence."

Ying Ji thought of the list of people who wrote articles scolding him that he got at the beginning, they were all cultural people.

Osamu Dazai looked strange: "Why? Is this the first time you've seen me?"

"But it's not the first time I've heard of you."

Yingji explained: "Verlaine said that you are my black fan, and Atsuya also said that you are very concerned about the person who picked up the goods that day. Obviously you are looking for me."

Osamu Dazai's thoughts changed sharply. Sure enough, the people from the director's department who led the team during the day had the eyes and ears of Zenyuan Eiki.

Ying Ji continued: "You don't look sick, but you lack love."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Osamu Dazai showed a warm smile: "I lack love?"

Ying Ji shrugged: "You didn't scold me, so you know the meaning of life. If you choose one of the three, that's the only reason left."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

He quickly retorted Ying Ji: "No, I really don't know why people should live."

The black-haired boy stared at Yingji: "Everyone is going to die, so why are you still alive?"

Yingji thought for a while and said, "Maybe the method is different."

Osamu Dazai: "Huh?"

Ying Ji was controlling the helicopter, and he said: "Look, if you jump down now, you will die. If I make a mistake in the control and fall, I will die too, but I die later than you, and I didn't fall to my death, but was exploded by the plane." To die in flames."

Osamu Dazai pondered: "Is the method and experience different?"

He seemed to be a little excited: "Then if I don't die every time, can I experience various methods of dying?"

Yingji raised his eyebrows, but he hesitated to speak.

Osamu Dazai humbly asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ying Ji was silent for a while before saying: "There are various ways to die, but none of them is a comfortable experience. Before death, everyone will be controlled by the body's instincts, struggle to wake up, and suffer from pain. Hopeless."

Osamu Dazai was in awe: "How do you know so clearly?"

He seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Have you experienced it?"

It's not easy for Yingji to talk about what he saw when he was an artifact, he said, "Do you know about conjurers?"

Osamu Dazai nodded quickly: "I know."

Ying Ji shrugged: "Then you know the curse spirit? The curse spirit comes from people's negative emotions, and death is also a kind of negative emotion."

"The conjurer has seen too many dirty things who are unwilling to die, and then curse everything before death. Don't think that everything doesn't matter after death~"

Yingji sighed, and said in a slightly complaining and emotional tone: "All negative emotions such as resentment, unwillingness, and pain in your lifetime will remain, and become the work goals of our conjurers."

He glanced at Osamu Dazai: "I don't want all my privacy to be publicly executed after my death, so be happy. At least you still have the strength to come to me now, which shows that you have not been completely disappointed in this world."

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Dazai Osamu's expression was indescribable: "The fundamental purpose of your writing is actually to reduce the workload?"

Yingji laughed: "Half and half, I really don't agree."

But there is still a doubt.

Osamu Dazai asked in confusion: "Why do you believe that Mr. Spy? He said I was a black fan, so you believed me?"

It can be said that all the inferences of Yingji of the Chanyuan are rooted in the fact that Verlaine's words are true.

Because Verlaine said that it was a gift from Dazai, Eiji of the Zen Academy completely ignored the possibility that Dazai was being coerced.

This made Osamu Dazai, who has always been able to guess people's hearts, feel very depressed.

Ying Ji said bluntly: "He has no reason to lie to me, you have a lot of reasons to lie to me, you see, at least you don't want me to send you to the police station right now."

The most important thing is that Verlaine is a non-human being. Verlaine doesn't care about concealment and deceit when it comes to matters that have nothing to do with him. After all, they are all human affairs.

Yingji understands this kind of mentality, and also understands what Verlaine thinks, so he does trust Verlaine more than the Dazai Osamu in front of him.

Moreover……

Ying Jili said confidently: "He is still my true fan! He even asked me for an autograph!"

"Why should I trust people who hate me instead of people who like me?"

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Osamu Dazai's mood is complicated and delicate.

Before meeting Eiji of the Chanyuan, he thought for a long time, and speculated a lot about the conversation he had with this person, but when he actually had a face-to-face conversation, he realized that he was thinking too much.

This person doesn't have insight into everything in the world, nor does he see through decay and darkness, he just simply doesn't want to be a social animal!

What an unpretentious idea.

Philosophy is defeated by life, and life is philosophy everywhere.

The author has something to say: Osamu Dazai: I thought he was a philosopher, but he turned out to be a salty fish who doesn't want to work...
