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

Back in time a few days ago.

"I think it's safer for us to take the initiative than to be attacked by Bai Ye unilaterally."

Before the mission started, Akabane Tsuruyu held a small meeting—not among his organization members, of course, but in a group chat.

It is indeed a rare thing to be able to connect with roommates online, but even if we meet again in the group, everyone's mood is not much better.

There were suddenly two noisy people missing in the group, and it always felt like something had disappeared.

[Ango Sakaguchi: Ahem... So, Tsuruo, what is your plan? 】

[Akabane Crane: Of course there are ways.I know exactly what Bai Ye wants to get, so I have to collide with him, even if it causes physical loss. 】

[Fu Heisher: So you plan to fight Bai Ye? ? ? 】

[Akabane Crane: No, my purpose is very simple.I want to create a singularity - you should be very clear why the singularity appears, right?The collision of two opposing supernatural abilities will produce a singularity. Although the abilities of Bai Ye and I cannot be called a collision, he and I are indeed completely opposite existences. 】

Akabane Tsurusheng got the EGO power named [Nothing], this powerful and uncontrollable force will cause almost natural disasters.But if this power collides with Bai Ye's power, it is indeed possible to produce a singularity.

[Akabane Crane: I can be [-]% sure that the power generated by the singularity will be exhausted quickly and will transfer us to another place. 】

[Edogawa Ranpo: Do ​​you mean... the train to hell? 】

[Akabane Crane: That's right. The power of EGO comes from the human heart, and the baptism of violet is also easy to understand-once the power agrees with the host itself, then the host can control this power.The same is true of the Huangquan train. 】

[Fyodor D: In other words, the train to hell may also come from the power derived from someone's heart, and the most likely possibility of that person is...]

[Akabane Crane: It's me. 】

[Akabane Crane: To be precise, it is the original me in this world.And to a certain extent, Bai Ye can actually be counted as me. 】

【Ango Sakaguchi: Even so, it would be too much for you to tame the hell train...】

[Akabane Crane: Don't worry, the result will definitely be successful——Ango, do you still remember the page you gave me back then? 】

[Ango Sakaguchi: I remember, at that time you copied a copy and went...what? ?Do you want to use the power of the page? 】

【Akabane Crane: No, actually Fei Jia and I lied to you.Things like book pages cannot be copied, but it is possible to temporarily simulate a similar appearance.What I left behind were false pages, and I knew what White Night wanted to do next.The reason I was hunted down was because I wanted myself.That's all. 】

[Akabane Crane: And the real function of the pages... is at this moment. 】

Take Bai Ye out of this world, isolate him from the world, and come to any place where he cannot contact the outside world.

Perhaps only here can he truly tame him.

Akabane Hesheng informed Peng Geli's leader of such actions, and asked Peng Geli to give some assistance to falsify this fact.

Sawada Tsunayoshi is naturally unwilling to let Akabane Crane take risks while alive, but his Mist Guardian and his tutor have also disappeared for a long time, and it is really not an option to keep searching like this.

"Relax, I won't die."

Akabane Tsuruo gently held Sawada Tsunayoshi's hands, he looked at the young man's still immature face, his tone was firm and trusting,

"I don't want to leave this world so early. So I will come back, and... I will get everything I lost."

Red blood mist filled every corner of the air.The silver-haired young man staggered back, the sudden killing intent almost made his legs go limp, but the anger and unwillingness in his heart propped up his body again, red thorns sprouted from his wrist, but Akabane Crane had disappeared gone.

A moment, just a moment.

The powerful force erupted by the two in an instant was like a huge vortex, sucking both of them into another completely unfamiliar space.Just one step forward, Bai Ye could feel the extremely disgusting soft touch on the ground, as well as some weird cries.

where is this ?

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, he scanned his surroundings, and then he was able to keenly capture those painful screams, most of which came from the other side of the carriage.

The glass outside the window is pure black, and it cannot be opened no matter what.The headlights were intact, but the blood was covered with a layer of tulle-like things that were difficult to ignore, which also made the lights dim.

Standing behind him were people... if they could even be called people.

"It hurts... it hurts..."

A large mass of meat is connected together like this. If you guessed correctly, these meat masses should have been [passengers] who got on the Huangquan train unintentionally...

But why did they become like this?

Rao Bai Ye, he also doesn't know the true omnipotence of Huangquan Train.He did notice something wrong with the space, though.

Time here is stopped.

He waved the thorn in his hand casually, leaving a deep dent on the lump of flesh.However, the dent just stood still, and the blood in the blood vessels was still flowing, but it was shaking like some kind of highly viscous non-Newtonian liquid.

Their wounds remain at the moment of destruction, so once they get an eye injury in this area they will never die, the pain will stay on them forever.

"This gentleman."

Suddenly, a strange man's voice sounded from behind Bai Ye, and the man's footsteps were like cats, without any sound at all.

The silver-haired man glanced back slightly. It was a man in a black dress. His figure was slender, tall, and his handsome face gave off an inexplicably unfriendly killing intent. Judging from his movements and Judging from the gun in his hand, the opponent's identity is probably a mafia.

"Although I have no right to order you, it's better to leave here quickly."

The man looked at him and said,

"Carmelie is terrified because [it] is coming. Once [it] comes, maybe none of us will survive."

"……I see."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, but did not refuse the other party's invitation.He thought he had nothing to be afraid of, but the only thing he was sure of was... the thing that was devouring the corpse not far away was indeed a bit tricky, even if he wanted to kill it, it might not be easy.

This is the interior of the Huangquan train?

Tsk, could it be that Akabane Tsurusheng knew that he couldn't beat him, so he tried every means to drag him in?

"My name is Reborn."

The other party introduced himself first.

"You should be a newcomer? Judging from your temperament, you don't look like a simple guy. But I'd better remind you."

The man paused for a moment before replying in as calm a tone as possible:

"Once you're here, don't think about getting out. Because you can't get out of here."

"We will be trapped here forever...Of course, there are also beautiful accidents, and I firmly believe in this. But instead of trusting that you will be saved by the gods, you might as well think about how to avoid a mental breakdown. survive the situation."

"I understand."

Bai Ye nodded, although he didn't understand what was going on at all, but the eternal pain...

That kind of thing is not unheard of.

There was a sneer at the corner of the silver-haired man's mouth, he searched for the key to escape from the cage in the endless darkness, no matter whether he was crying, angry, or kneeling on the ground to pray, it was useless.

No one will come to his rescue.

No one will remember who he is.

In this way, he was thrown into the deepest part of the darkness, and he could never leave.

"Here we are, this is the safest car No. [-]."

The man opened a sliding door, and there were not many people staying in the sliding door, a man with a pineapple head, and a few guys with dull expressions.

"Ah, another guy with good luck has been picked up." One of the men said so calmly.

"So what? The group of people outside are crazy! They can't calm down at all..." One of the women also showed a terrified expression,

"They stretched out their bodies in maximum pain, just looking for pain to get through this long and terrible time...Damn, how long has it been since I saw the sun outside..."

"excuse me."

Bai Ye was silent for a while, his gaze scanned the entire carriage, but he found that he did not see another familiar figure.

Akabane Crane was not here.

Did he go to another compartment?If I didn't guess wrong, the man seemed to be thrown here with him.

Why did he disappear?

"How long have you been here?"

He glanced at his watch.For habitual reasons, he has always worn a watch on his wrist, but the pointer at this moment has been stagnant at a certain node, and has hardly moved since he came here.

"You really want to know?"

It was the man with the pineapple head who spoke, and he was also the only person here with a different aura.The man sat casually on the seat, with his arm half leaning on a trident. He had a frivolous expression, but it still gave off a very reliable feeling.

"I must say... since we came here, it has been 130 years, twelve months and three days, right?"

"Indeed." Reborn also spoke,

"However, under the transformation of Liudaoshou illusion, we actually lived through only three years and three months. So our mental state is still normal."

...Is it normal to spend three years in this little train?

"I don't know if you have seen the monster in carriage 14." One of the women covered her mouth with a slightly frightened expression on her face.

"That thing is the owner of this train... If it wasn't for its huge size, it would have been moved from carriage 14 to this side."

"But it was originally in the No. 20 car!! It is still moving bit by bit!!! Sooner or later it will reach the No. [-] car!!!" Another man also burst into tears.

"Don't argue."

Reborn spoke abruptly,

"I don't need companions who will cause trouble. If you continue to quarrel, I will throw you out of the illusion."

So the original carriage was quiet.

However, Bai Ye was a little interested in the "monster" they mentioned, so he took the initiative to ask,

"What does that monster look like, can you tell me a little bit about it?"

"Oh?"

Reborn was somewhat interested in the extremely calm man in front of him,

"Could it be that you've seen that monster before?"

"Of course." Bai Ye smiled and bent his eyes, his expression became even weirder.

"After all... how could the owner forget the pets he had raised?"

"Boom!!!"

The huge impact came from the carriage behind him almost immediately, and the people in the No. [-] carriage were slightly taken aback, while Bai Ye was the first to look behind him.

Opposite the open carriage No. [-], a pair of dark red eyes met his vision.The young man was wearing a blood-red windbreaker, with weird eyes and flesh growing on the clothes.

And he was carrying a blood-red sword in his hand, with uneven biological tissues and countless strange eyes still remaining on the blade.

[The tissue imitation of this monstrous humanoid fails, and your body trembles involuntarily as the weapon's indescribable eyes stare at you.

[If the wielder can wield this weapon to its full potential, it can be wielded with devastating consequences. ]

Ah... is it EGO with nothing?

Bai Ye vaguely remembered that at the last moment of parting, Akabane Hesheng had indeed used the power of nothing.Although I don't know how he conquered nothing, this force is indeed one of the most powerful forces in his inventory.

"Akabane Crane??"

Reborn was stunned for the first time when he noticed the man in the second car, and Rokudoku also showed a surprised expression—after all, within the scope of his thinking, Akabane Tsuruyu was probably the least likely person to come here up.

"He lost consciousness. That's normal."

Bai Ye noticed Akabane Tsurusheng's dim pupils without any ups and downs, and roughly understood something.The stronger the EGO power, the greater the damage to the human body. Except for the inheritance of the Silent Orchestra, which is extremely obsessed with music itself, he has not found anyone who can inherit the EGO ability above A level.

Akabane Tsurusheng forced nothing to occupy his body, which led to a temporary deprivation of consciousness... It seems that the [people] in the first few cars must have suffered too, right?

"Do you want to find me even if you lose consciousness? Such a passionate feeling is really touching."

That's what he said, but Bai Ye didn't show the so-called [touched] expression.He stretched out his hand with a sneer, and the net quickly woven by the red thorns blocked the opponent's extremely fast first attack.

"Whoa-"

Unsurprisingly, it was cut off.

Pain spread across his shoulders. Although Bai Ye had carefully avoided the opponent's attack, the injury was still inevitable.

The cut shoulder did not shed blood immediately, but stuck to the shoulder like jelly.The pain tortured his brain repeatedly, but he clearly understood that such torture would last forever.

Akabane Crane slowly raised the knife in his hand. His movement of raising the knife was actually not fast, but once he made an attack, it was almost a [-]% hit.

"It seems that I can't neglect it. Even if I have no power, I definitely don't want to try it."

Bai Ye sighed softly, and the red thorn in his hand began to shrink gradually.The man took the initiative to step forward, and under the strange eyes of everyone in the first car and the blank eyes of the red-feathered crane, pale thorns spread from behind him, slowly embracing him.

"The power of EGO is given by me, and I can naturally cancel it-although the process may be a bit painful, but this is what you want to see, right?"

The silver-haired man raised Akabane Tsurusheng's chin, and he looked down at him from above, and the pale thorns were also dyed bright red with the embrace,

"Stop for a while, this kind of fighting is not good for us, is it?"

"……you're right."

I don't know how long it has passed, Akabane Tsurusheng tightly grasped the opponent's wrist with one hand, those beautiful red eyes finally had some brilliance, although there was only disgust and helplessness in them,

"Thank you. But can you let me go? Your thorns hurt me."

"Tit for tat, you even cut me down."

The two finally parted ways.Akabane Tsurusheng's original EGO armor also began to fade away, leaving only the normal hooded jacket and the strange sword disappeared. With the fading of EGO power, he also limp behind him. Sitting on the chair, he closed his eyes tiredly.

"Are you satisfied?"

Bai Ye stood in front of him, his expression was not very good-looking.

"Satisfied? Of course. After all, I don't want you to continue to hurt them." Akabane Crane said lazily,

"Compared to fighting upside down in the outside world, isn't it just what you and I want to come here? You can take revenge on me here, you can try to torture me, and fall into madness and infinity like the group of meat outside pain, you can do this. This is your right to revenge on me."

"But you didn't. Because you still care about me, hatred is often accompanied by positive emotions. I know this, so I have always felt indifferent to your offensive behavior."

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Bai Ye narrowed his eyes.

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Because I don't understand feelings, and I don't know how to express them. Maybe I can be a fake normal person better than Ayanokouji, but to some extent, I really can't do it. Ordinary people empathize with each other." Akabane Crane rubbed his temples, and replied very naturally,

"But it's still too late. Don't you want me to tell you the answer? I think I can probably do it now."

Akabane Tsurusheng noticed the sight from the No. [-] compartment, he smiled apologetically, and at the same time said helplessly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be involved in this incident... Fortunately, Mr. Rokudokuku is here, otherwise I would be too sorry for Mr. Reborn."

"How did Tsunayoshi Sawada behave after leaving me?" Reborn asked curiously.

"Very good, he is indeed a qualified leader. At least he is more qualified than me." Akabane Crane shrugged helplessly.

"This guy is really brazen." Liu Daoku was very dissatisfied,

"Keeping us here for more than 100 years is definitely a terrible punishment for ordinary people, right?"

"It does. But it's not without solutions."

Akabane Crane opened his own panel, and under this relatively static flow of time, the EGO ability [Bell of Backtracking] at the bottom of the panel clearly appeared in his eyes.

[Bell of Retrospect] has very strict usage conditions - it must be activated when time is stopped, and it has the function of automatic archiving.And at this moment, it happens to be the best time to start the backtracking clock.

"I can go back to any place." Akabane Tsurusheng looked into Bai Ye's eyes,

"The initial save point is not the moment when I came to this world in my memory, but a longer time. I am not sure how long [longer] refers to, but the only thing that is certain is... before the end of the save, my The memory will be synchronized with your memory."

"I'll tell you everything that happened to me in the past, and wait until it's all over before making a decision based on your thoughts, how about it?"

The silver-haired young man looked at him silently, while Akabane Tsurusheng's expression was extremely firm.He was fully prepared from the very beginning, and what matters now is Bai Ye's answer.

"Are you going to lie to me?"

Bai Ye lowered his eyes, clenched his fingers slightly, the unwillingness and anger he had once resurfaced, but gradually settled down because of the other party's gaze.

"Maybe before, but not this time." Akabane Tsurusheng said.

"...Then, just this once."

After getting the answer he wanted, Akabane Tsurusheng also showed a relieved smile.He stretched out his finger, and after making complete preparations, he finally clicked the EGO start button of [Bell of Retrospect].

【Have you decided yet? 】

In a daze, the face of the bartender seemed to appear in front of Akabane Tsurusheng again. The black-haired young man just looked at him quietly, and finally nodded slowly.

"It seems that there is no other choice."

Akabane Tsurusheng expressed helplessness, and at the same time spread his hands,

"After all, I have to give myself an explanation, and...maintaining a state of ignorance is definitely not a happy thing."

【you're right. 】

The bartender laughed too.

The dim yellow light was flickering in the control lights, Akabane Tsurusheng's eyes began to lose all color, and time began to flow slowly.

[Then you will lose all your memories... Go back to the time when you saved the file for the first time. 】

[Please don't worry about it, the temporary amnesia is just a natural choice to prevent too many twists and turns in this world. When the archive time is exhausted, you will return to the train of hell again, and the memories of the past will be the same as your present memories come back to your mind. . 】

[The answer to how to escape from the Underworld train will also be hidden in the memory of the past, the key to success is in your hands, and the future will also be controlled by you. 】

[Then...Mr. Akabane Tsurumi, I wish you all the best in the future. 】
