After crossing with the coser, I became the favorite of the big guys

"Ahhhhh!!"

"It's a bomb! Why is there a bomb!!!"

"It's more than one... No, I can't get out at all... I will die! I will definitely die!!!"

Desperate screams and cries came from all directions. The place where Akabane Hesheng was originally was buried by the bookshelf that exploded and fell to the ground. The flames were burning in the books, and the black smoke was almost choking. The locals couldn't breathe.

"Thorn-"

The crystal blue ice truncates and protrudes from the back of the hard pear board bookcase, and with a click, it spreads and grows like thorns.The black-haired young man struggled to stand up against the hot wall, the side of the forearm affected by the flames was still bleeding, and countless fragments of ice crystals fell from his skin, like flickering glass shards.

"Tsk, what a surprise..."

Feeling the scorching heat wave approaching, Akabane Crane held his nose and mouth with some difficulty and leaned down to prevent himself from inhaling too much smoke.

Fortunately, there was an EGO ring, which happened to be ice-attribute [Ice Queen]. At the moment when the bomb was about to explode, he immediately used ice as a shield to block most of the damage, except for the hand that reached out to hold the blank book page, which was inevitably shattered. Sawdust and flames hurt, but the rest are not serious.

Room [-] was still some distance away from the door. Akabane Tsuruo squinted his eyes, trying to find the direction of the exit. At the same time, he used the ice derived from the EGO ring to avoid the flames rushing towards him.

The book in his hand was almost burned by the flames, and only one page remained.Akabane Hesheng also noticed the particularity of this page, he tried to tear a corner of it with his hands, but found that it still failed,

Could it be that... this is a special page?

With a tentative mentality, Akabane Tsurusheng conveniently put this page into his arms. He stretched out his hand and tried to use ice to open a path in the flames. However, the road paved with ice was quickly destroyed by more violent explosions. Engulfed, with a bang, a beam fell from the ceiling, and the burn caused by the rising sparks made him take a few steps back.

Time is running out.

A dark blue long-handled ice/spear/spear gradually evolved in Akabane Hesheng's hand, and he raised the knife neatly, and a cold light flashed, and the sturdy beam was almost cut in two immediately.

But there was no exit after the opened road, his eyes were engulfed by hot flames, like a monster with teeth and claws, gradually approaching the inner circle.

The exit...disappeared?

No, it didn't disappear, but he lost his sense of direction.

The power of the EGO ring comes from the heart. Once the gap in the heart is caught by fear, the power of ice will gradually shrink.

Akabane Tsurusheng knew this clearly, and the person who deliberately hurt him, or the person who was instructed to set the fire, probably also knew it.Not being able to use abilities doesn't mean that he can't be forced into a desperate situation by other means.

The sutures on the wound were abruptly removed, and the severe pain with flesh and blood almost made people suffocate.The eyes of the black-haired young man became more and more absent-minded. He half-covered his nose and mouth, knelt on the ground and panted slightly.He tried to use the power of the EGO ring again, but he started to slow down when his sanity was stripped away.

He is not afraid of death.

Once he loses consciousness, the Snow Queen will start to activate the automatic protective consciousness, just like what happened on the Emerald Emerald, instantly completely isolating him from the scalding flames.

Even if he is unconscious in this fire, he will not die.

So... even if you give up struggling, it doesn't matter...

"He Sheng!!"

It seemed that someone called his name vaguely, and Akabane Tsurusheng's almost unconscious thoughts were sluggish for two seconds. Just as he was about to raise his head, his wrist was grabbed by someone.

"What the hell are you doing!! Everyone else has already come out!! Why are you still not moving?! Do you want to be burned here!?"

The black-haired and blue-eyed young man said angrily, before Akabane Tsurusheng could react, he grabbed his back and ran straight towards a certain direction.

...It's Jing Guang.

But Zero and the others are nearby, so it's not surprising that Jing Guang will appear here.

"Don't move around... soon... right away..."

Jing Guang was still saying something to him, but those words gradually became blurred.

It may be words of persuasion, or it may be reprimanding him out of anger, or awkward concern...

It is a twist of many complex emotions, as mixed and colorful as Poussecafé, but it is extraordinarily intoxicating.

It's probably the feeling of being cared about.

"What happened before... I'm sorry."

The black-haired young man leaned on his shoulder, and after a long silence, he murmured softly,

"If possible, can you forget everything that happened that day?"

"it is good."

At the last moment of losing consciousness, Akabane Tsurusheng finally heard his answer.

What, anyway, the result is pretty good.

·

The Black Organization failed in this mission, Tequila was confirmed dead, Bloody Caesar was slightly injured, and the information was lost.

The result was worse than expected.

The young man with silver hair and green eyes squeezed the paper tightly, his eyes filled with anger.

"Who did it, can you find out?"

"Master Gin, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, and the above also said that this matter should be left alone..."

"That's all!?"

Gin's voice suddenly rose, with undisguised anger and dissatisfaction in his tone,

"My subordinates were plotted against, and the secrets of the organization were stolen like this, so forget it?!"

"But..." one of them said with a sad face,

"But, the other party seems to be from the bounty hunter's side... So, it's not easy to start..."

"Bounty Hunter?"

"Yes, it's the free website that can hire anyone to do anything by posting a reward... Because the personnel are quite scattered, trying to find the other party is basically equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack." The subordinate tremblingly said,

"The bounty hunter's water is very deep, and it is not easy to intervene... Besides, Lord Caesar was not seriously injured, so the organization made such a statement."

"Is that so..."

Bounty Hunters [Bijou], the largest underground bounty collection website.

Ango Sakaguchi knew that he could not intervene in such an underground world, so after connecting with Gin and Belmode, he quickly integrated all the information in the style of an excellent intelligence officer, and sent it to More professional underground intelligence personnel.

"Fei Jia, I'll leave it to you. With your ability, it should be easy to find information about [Bijou], right?" Sakaguchi Ango said in a serious tone.

"No matter what, those who dare to lay such a heavy hand on the crane must not let it go easily!"

"I understand. Indeed, who would dare to bully Xiao Hesheng except us."

Fyodor received the news from Ango Sakaguchi, and he began to try to find a way to hack into Bijou in a sloppy manner, and at the same time contacted Dazai Osamu who was in the port mafia.

"Number three, help me find people who have been in and out of Yokohama recently... Well, the best destination is Tokyo. I suspect they are people from Yokohama, but they are not supernatural beings, so they won't be affected by [the partition wall] Impact."

"It's because of what happened to Xiaozuru... well, I understand." Osamu Dazai quickly received the news, and at the same time forwarded the message to Edogawa Ranpo,

"Director, I will investigate the concession area. Can I entrust the area near the city to you?"

"Of course it's okay, just leave it to Ranpo-sama!" Edogawa Ranpo smiled, but there was rarely an imperceptible sullenness in his emerald green eyes.

"Deliberately using the fire to trap Xiao Hesheng, are you trying to use this to torture him psychologically... It is indeed an unforgivable behavior. Even Lord Ranpo really can't stand it anymore."

If you can't give him the same degree of torture, how can you say I feel a little sorry?

"...What!? There is someone who dares to attack our BOSS!?"

Aishima Ansheng stood up from the pile of documents with a thud, his bloodshot eyes were filled with anger,

"How unreasonable!!! How dare you be so disrespectful to our Lord Samuel!! This is not the last ten punishments, you can't pass it!!! Cut fingers! Gouging out eyes!! Severing limbs!!!"

Fu Heisher: "...Although, haven't you always been very dissatisfied with him?"

"What do you know!" Aishima Ansheng was angry,

"That's my year-end paid leave!!! What if something happens to Master Samuel!! What should I do with my year-end paid leave!! Can you afford it!!!"

"..."

It's over, Aishima Ansheng, has completely turned into the shape of a social animal.

So, after Akabane Hesheng woke up in the hospital bed, his powerful group of friends arrested the suspect who blew up the bookstore early, so that just after Akabane Hesheng went online, the overwhelming 99 information exploded. rushed towards him.

[Ango Sakaguchi: Akabane Crane! 】

[Gin wine: Hesheng! ! ! 】

【Osamu Dazai: Great, it looks like it was really just a minor injury... It really scared me to death...】

[Fyodor: It’s good that Xiaohe wakes up, so we can think about how to torture the cruel people. 】

[Fu Heisher: Anyway, it's fine, and Aishima cares about you a lot. 】

[Bermod: Xiao Hesheng, you finally woke up! ! !Quick, let's beat that bastard!Everyone has found out the real identity of that guy! 】

【Akabane Crane: ...】

[Akabane Crane: I'm fine, so what... why do I feel like you haven't seen me for centuries? 】

[Edogawa Ranpo: Because everyone is very concerned about Xiaohesheng, but the results of this investigation are indeed a bit surprising.The other party is not a person with supernatural powers, and the effect of [Partition Wall] is still there. The real identity of that guy is the son of the leader of the Nior Group, that is, he tried to use Oda Sakunosuke before, but you solved it with the help of the port mafia man. 】

...So that's the case, it's still a plot of revenge.

At the beginning, Akabane Tsurusheng thought those eyes were very familiar, but now he remembered that they were Nior's eyes.

Those were a pair of cold eyes full of hatred, and they would kill him at all costs.

What a pathetic guy.

[Akabane Crane: I understand, I will find a solution... Do you have any news about him? 】

【Osamu Dazai: Solve it?How can you solve that kind of thing, Xiao Hesheng can rest well. [Tuski pats his head.JPG]]

[Gin: sharpen the knife, every night, until death! [Tuski Knife Grinding.JPG]]

[Bermode: Shut up, gin!All in all, we have already decided on the procedure. First go to the Supernatural Secret Service Division for interrogation, then hand it over to the Rat of the Dead House, then find a way to intersperse into the interrogation room of the Port Mafia, and finally reverse to the Black Organization for execution. Everyone is happy again!Now I deliberately took a breath and waited for you to pass by! 】

[Ango Sakaguchi: Don't compare me and the head of the dormitory with you perverts!I'm just an ordinary interrogation, so you guys call it a lynching, right? ? 】

[Edogawa Ranpo: Hahahaha, although I think there is no problem, and Ango didn't refuse, right? 】

【Ango Sakaguchi: ...】

[Ango Sakaguchi: Tsk, indeed. 】

【Osamu Dazai: I didn't do it, it was the port mafia's interrogation... Hey, it's better to leave it to Fei Jia to play psychological torture. 】

[Fyodor D: Well, but he passed out after a short time, and it is not easy to wake him up.He also revealed that he didn't know the name of the person who hired him, it was a newly registered trumpet, and he just asked him if he wanted revenge. 】

[Akabane Crane: It should be Bai Ye. Except for them, I can't think of anyone who would target me like this.Because of Fei Jia's [partition wall], Bai Ye couldn't attack the B-level world, so they encouraged Nior's son who hates me to set fire...]

But how did Bai Ye know about the fire?Or was the arson this time just a coincidence? ?

No, it can't be a coincidence.There are thousands of ways to kill him, but arson is not easy to kill a person quickly.

The appearance of Bai Ye is definitely not as simple as imagined, or... there must be someone he knows well in Bai Ye.

The sunlight fell on Akabane Tsurusheng's raised arms through the glass window. He sat silently on the bed, watching the traces of the tiny particles wandering in the air, and was lost in thought for a while.

No smoke, no suffocating pressure, no cramping pain like a tearing wound.

He is here.

He is still alive.

"...Hesheng? Are you okay?"

The door of the ward was slowly pushed open, Akabane Tsurusheng turned his head to look at the door, his face seemed to have lost his expression, his indifference was a little scary.

"I'm fine." Akabane Tsurusheng lowered his eyelashes, his tone was calm,

"Hiro, Zero, and everyone...I..."

Want to say something?

His gaffe, his conflict with Jing Guang... and the beginning of this fire...

Sure enough, everything is difficult at the beginning.

However, at the moment when Akabane Crane was distracted, a warm hug suddenly surrounded him.

The hug came so quickly that there was no room for him to escape.The dark-haired young man's eyes widened slightly, with a blank expression on his face.

"I'm sorry...I was wrong before, I should make it clear to you face to face."

Zhu Fu Jingguang patted Akabane Hesheng on the back lightly, apologetic in his deep blue eyes.

"Anyway, you're fine."

"Don't make it so nasty!" Matsuda Jinhei looked away uncomfortably,

"If it wasn't for Hiro rushing into the sea of ​​flames to fish you out, you would be in danger, at least you have to run out before talking!"

"Okay Matsuda, Akabane may be... the situation was not very good at that time." Fuguya Rei grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's hand,

"I'm fine now, at least it's just a slight burn on my forearm. It's much better than the previous few times, okay?"

Akabane Crane pondered for a while.

Akabane Tsurusheng nodded in understanding.

"Indeed, at least it's just a burn, so that the training won't be missed... It hurts so much, why did you hit me?"

Feeling the sudden blow from the head, Akabane Tsurusheng showed a bewildered expression on his face.

"At this time, you still think about training?? Is there nothing else in your mind other than fighting monsters and leveling up? Ah!?"

Matsuda Jinpei clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't seem to care about punching the red-feathered crane again.

"...too much." The red-feathered crane lowered its eyes,

"But because Matsuda-kun cares about me, I forgive you."

"You... Damn it! Even if you know it, don't say it so bluntly!!!"

"Hahahaha... It's not been a day or two for Xiaohe to have straight intestines. I thought you were used to it a long time ago, Xiaozhenping."

……

The lively atmosphere around them instantly broke the original stiff and cold atmosphere. The black-haired young man looked at them silently, his black hair hanging by his ears, making his skin paler.

It's almost time.

There are some things that should be said, let's make them clear here.

"It's not that I don't want to escape the fire, but I can't. So don't worry about my desire to survive and my thoughts."

After a long time, Akabane Crane's voice interrupted the noisy communication, and several pairs of eyes immediately focused on him.

"About my past... If you want to know, it's not impossible to tell you."

——A corner of the past covered by fog was revealed, and finally disappeared in a certain sunny city.

·

"So you told them?"

Ango Sakaguchi asked curiously as he walked beside Akabane Tsurusheng.

"Not completely, at least I can guarantee that what I say is not a lie." Akabane Tsurusheng said,

"Instead of letting them guess about me with uncertain factors, it's better to say it frankly. Besides, I don't think they are difficult people to get along with, so I am willing to treat them as my friends. Of course, if my friends betray me , then I will kill him without hesitation."

When he said this, the dark-haired young man's eyes flickered with a cold gaze, and even Ango Sakaguchi couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Akabane Crane's mother died of suicide.

She did not inform her son of her suicide.That night, the young Akabane Tsurusheng opened the door of his room, and saw a sea of ​​flames that swallowed everything, and a woman writhing naked in the sea of ​​flames.

"Die...go to die..."

The woman's hoarse voice continued intermittently from her throat, and her face, which was almost invisible from its original appearance, twisted strangely.

"Why can't you die..."

The young child's eyes widened in horror, and his survival instinct led him to find the direction of the door, but the flames had already swallowed everything, and the locked doors and windows could not find the key to the entrance.

This was a premeditated suicide, and from the very beginning, the woman never wanted to let him go.

Akabane Crane still passed out in the sea of ​​flames.Fortunately, the nearby neighbors called the police in time, and they forcibly broke through the door of the house at the first time, only to rescue the young child who was cowering at the door.

The severe PTSD to the flame gradually recovered in the process of psychotherapy, but when I fell into the flames, I always lost my way subconsciously.Fortunately, he has never encountered a few fires in his life, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.

"Anyway, let's meet Nior's son first." Ango Sakaguchi finally said.

"Okay." Akabane Tsurusheng nodded.

After a round of interrogation and physical and psychological torture, the man had already lost all ability to move.Although he has already undergone preliminary [cleaning], except for those terrified eyes, all his nails and teeth have been pulled out, and he looks extremely distressed.

This is what Akabane Tsurusheng saw when he opened the door.

"I hate you... I hate you, Akabane Tsuruu..."

The man struggled to get up, his bloodshot eyes were full of hatred,

"It's your fate not to kill you in that flame!! You will die! You will definitely die! Die...die..."

"...Couldn't you be gentler?" Akabane Tsuruo looked at Ango Sakaguchi with some headaches,

"People have collapsed, I'm afraid it's difficult to have a normal conversation?"

"Don't blame me, maybe Fei Jia is having a good time, right? Besides, the port mafia and the black organization's special punishment department are not vegetarians. In comparison, our Ability and Secret Service Department is already very kind." Sakaguchi An Wu pushed his glasses with a headache,

"What are you going to do? Kill him?"

"Nior should have only one son, right?" Akabane Crane raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, there will be no further complications." Ango Sakaguchi nodded.

"That's good."

Akabane Crane snapped his fingers, and countless ice crystals began to grow from around the man. Almost instantly, crystal blue thorns pierced his wrist and ankle from top to bottom. The fog condenses into ice.

The man almost screamed, but the ice quickly spread to his mouth, instantly forcing the rest of his voice back into his throat.

"You want to torture me? What a joke..."

Akabane Crane pinched the opponent's chin, his dark red eyes showed a mocking look,

"I'm not a good person. Since you attacked me, I will also inflict the same pain on you."

"Poor bastard who was used as a pawn, I hope you have a good night."
