Wenhao is my vest

After receiving all the memories of being Dullahan, although Celti knew that the person who called her was the person with the deepest friendship and closest relationship with her in the past ten years, but she couldn't help it from the bottom of her heart. Raise half a point of interest in taking out the phone.

She clearly understood that she was no longer the black headless horseman of the urban legend of Ikebukuro.From now on, Celty Sturluson exists only as Celty Sturluson, who brings death predictions to mankind.

Yet even knowing this, the only emotion she felt was boredom.

So before [Ellen Poe] said to her, "Give me the phone", she still just leaned against the wall of the room, like a dead body without any movement.

[Ellen Poe] took the mobile phone from her hand, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "It seems that I guessed wrong, Miss Celty, you don't seem to have any faith at all."

After saying this, he pressed the hang up button on the phone.

Shiga Naoya couldn't help but questioned: "Mr. Poe?"

Don't you want Miss Celty to meet her relatives and friends?

[Ellen Poe] He put his mobile phone back into his pocket—now he has two mobile phones on him, although neither of them belonged to him—only then did he answer Shiga Naoya’s doubts: “Shiga-kun, we haven’t sat on our belongings yet. What about your own auditorium?"

Shiga Naoya let out a slow "Oh" before realizing the meaning of [Ellen Poe].

He pointed to the unconscious Yagiri Seiji: "Then let Mr. Poe deal with it first."

[Ellen Poe] smiled and nodded at him, walked to Yagiri Seiji's side, and squatted down.

**

Kishitani Shilla stood up from the sofa.

Like Celty, who works as a "delivery boy", as a black doctor, he often goes out at night, so sometimes he and Celty can't touch each other for several days in a row.

But that doesn't mean how fragile the bond between the two of them is.

It doesn't mean that Celti will hang up the phone calls he made for no reason at work, and there will be no reply at all.

After thinking for a while, the man decided to walk around the living room a few times and wait for a quarter of an hour.

However, the second call fifteen minutes later was immediately cut off mercilessly.

Only then did Kishitani Shilla change his expression.

After staying in the living room for a while, he walked to the computer in the study and sat down. He pressed the power button to see if there were any materials related to Celti's work today.

Half an hour later, the man who found nothing made a third call to Celti's cell phone.

To his surprise, the call was connected this time.

Kishitani Shilla breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily to the other end of the phone: "Selty——! Why didn't you answer my call just now! Could it be that you finally..."

Before he could say the second half of "tired of me", Kishitani Shilla keenly noticed something was wrong.

——On the other end of the phone, there was a sound of breathing.

Kishitani Shilla fell silent.

But soon, he calmed down based on his years of experience in the underworld, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

Kishitani Shilla heard the sound of something smashing to the ground from the other end of the phone, followed by a clear voice that was biased towards the boy: "...Mr. Poe! Wait, why are you talking about this..."

The voice behind was hard to hear because of the person's distance.But soon, the boy returned to the phone again, and after coughing, he greeted here in a hesitant tone: "...Hello? Are you Dr. Kishitani?"

After asking this question, he first introduced himself: "I am Naoya Shiga. I should still be considered as a member of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals."

"Yagiri Pharmaceutical," Kishitani Shilla raised an eyebrow, "Why is Celty's cell phone in your hands—I should have made an agreement with you not to attack her?"

"No, how should I put it... I feel that it is troublesome to explain. Is it because of this reason that Mr. Poe left the matter to me..."

After hearing the person on the other side muttering such a few words, Kishitani Shilla suddenly cheered up and said "Yeah!" and raised his voice: "I figured it out! ——Dr. Kishitani, in fact, we at Yagiri Pharmaceuticals decided to Let’s give up human experiments!”

Kishitani Shilla: "..."

Where is this going?

He took a deep breath and decided to find a breakthrough: "How do you prove that you are from Yagiri Pharmaceuticals?"

So, after saying "Please wait!", Kishitani Shilla got the news from Yagiri Hae that the control of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals had been transferred to someone else.

Kishitani Shilla was a little dizzy: "Wait a minute."

Shiga Naoya stopped: "What?"

Kishitani Shilla was very calm: "It doesn't matter what happened to Yagiri Pharmaceutical. What I want to ask is, why is Celty's cell phone in your hand?"

Or, why did Celti stay with people from Yagiri Pharmaceuticals that she had never been in contact with?

Where he couldn't see, Shiga Naoya's eyes wandered: "Uh... about this..."

Kishitani Shilla said in a deep voice: "You promised me that you would keep 'that thing' well."

Shiga Naoya let out a "wow": "I can't do it! Mr. Poe, my conscience hurts!!!"

So after a few seconds, the voice of a young man changed to the other end of the phone: "Hello, Dr. Kishitani. I'm Edgar Allan Poe."

Kishitani Shilla suppressed the urge to say "I don't care who you are", but said coldly: "Let Selti answer the phone."

Obviously what he loved deeply was the headless monster, but at this moment, Kishitani Shilla hated the fact that Celty couldn't speak.

He heard the voice of [Poe] addressing someone: "Would you like to answer the phone?"

"Sorry," the man's voice was still so gentle, "Miss Celty doesn't want to chat with you."

Only then did Shilla Kishitani know that Celty had been staying next to the person opposite him.

Yagiri Pharmaceutical, Celty, and the fact that she might be angry...

When these pieces are put together, there is only one puzzle that can be completed.

Kishitani Shilla felt his throat dry up: "Where are you?"

【Ellen Poe】Looking at the chaotic room, he feels that this is not a good place to receive guests: "Let's meet at Yagiri Pharmaceutical—Miss Yagiri, can I borrow your reception room once?"

After getting an agreeable answer, [Ellen Poe] was sure: "Then the time for the meeting will be tomorrow morning, and the location will be in the reception room of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals."

Without waiting for Kishitani Shilla's response, the man hung up the phone directly.

After returning the phone to Celty, [Ellen Poe] looked at Shiga Naoya: "Now I can finally rest, Shiga-kun."

Shiga Naoya closed his eyes: "What are you resting for? You still have to transfer shares with Ms. Yagiri. ... Should it be called a share transfer?"

[Ellen Poe] smiled at him: "How do I know."

Shiga Naoya shook his head, said helplessly, "I'm going to open a new room", and walked out with Yagiri Hae, who was clearly in a bad state.

Of course, with the sane and somewhat chaotic Seiji Yagiri.

This heroic spirit of the good camp obviously felt that the Yagiri siblings and [Ellen Poe], the unstable element, could not stay together any longer.

Now, there are only two inhuman beings left in the room, Celty and [Ellen Poe].

In the silence, [Ellen Poe] turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, and said suddenly: "Miss Celty, I'm afraid you will be busy soon."

The green-eyed woman beckoned, and then, the hum of a motor vehicle started.Within a few seconds, her horse with a headless head squeezed in from the corridor with heavy steps.

She slowly stroked the mane on the headless horse's neck, and raised her head like [Ellen Poe], looking at the dark blue sky where there were not many stars.

"Ah, that's right," [Ellen Poe] sighed in a chaotic voice that seemed to make people fall into eternal sleep, "so far, except for the cultist on the pier, I am afraid that only you who got his head back can See what I mean."

——You even said that someone else Lovecraft is a cultist, obviously you are not the same.

When Araya Aoki uttered these words, feeling the faint anger inside the [Ellen Poe] spirit foundation, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Celti looked at the night sky, and finally said the first sentence of the night: "...the time when the stars return to their positions is coming."

Her voice was as ethereal as a lark, but it made those who heard it shiver - no matter how sweet it was, it was just a lark responsible for reporting death:

"R'lyeh will rise from the bottom of the sea..."

[Ellen Poe] shook his head, skipped the intermediate steps, and directly concluded: "Mankind is about to face an inevitable catastrophe."

The end of his sentence was slightly raised: "This prophecy... What do you think, Huangye?"

Aoki Araya: "..."

He felt a lot of question marks popping up in his head.

——No, you never mentioned this to me before, did you? !

As if feeling Aoki Araya's violent fluctuations in mood, [Ellen Poe] couldn't help but chuckled twice: "I thought you already knew... After all, you didn't pay attention to Mori Ogai and Dazai in this world before. Zhi said, 'It's really strange to have so many power systems, the world may already be crumbling'?"

Aoki Araya: "..."

He didn't want to talk, and he didn't want to admit the fact that he was actually Crow's Mouth.

[Ellen Poe] is still laughing: "Anyway... because it's the awakening of 'that one', I will definitely help you. Huang Ye, you should first think about how to prevent the destruction of the world."

Aoki Araya: "...? Wait, no."

He couldn't hide the astonishment in his tone: "I just want to be resurrected. What does the destruction of human beings have to do with me? Even if I don't care, the world-conscious Gaia or some capable humans will handle it, right?"

Having said that, Aoki couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

Aoki Araya: ...Why.

He had an intuition that something was wrong, just like the question that arose when he was able to control the two bodies of [Dazai Osamu] and [Ellen Poe] at the same time, there was definitely something wrong.

However, just like at that time, Aoki Araya subconsciously ignored the problem, as if he had never had this doubt before, and just began to sigh at the spirit base of [Edgar Allan Poe]:

"But I don't care if I don't want to... Wouldn't it be a bit ridiculous to die again for this reason just after being resurrected?"

[Ellen Poe] encouraged him earnestly: "Yes, I think you should speed up the progress of the task and spend less energy on pleasing the heroic spirits."

Aoki Araya wondered: "Mr. Po, are you implying that I am too nice to other heroic spirits?"

[Ellen Poe]'s spirit foundation tried to release goodwill, but the coldness contained in it was still captured by Aoki: "I am expressly expressing. Including myself, you have spent too much time on the existence of heroic spirits. necessary time."

Aoki Araya sighed: "Although I guessed that you would answer this way, I still have to say that I don't think so myself."

After a few seconds of silence, [Ellen Poe] did not refute, but replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter. As long as you are happy."

Although this attitude seems to be very enlightened, Araya Aoki can feel the overly gnashing of teeth from the [Ellen Poe] spirit base.

For this, Aoki only had a bad feeling.

Aoki Araya paused, and after thinking for two seconds, he couldn't help reminding: "If you want to do something, Mr. Po, you'd better tell me in advance."

[Ellen Poe] Very meekly: "Good."

...However, I can only feel "it's not good" from inside your spirit base!

Aoki Araya gave up the idea of ​​continuing to reason with this blustery guy, and had no choice but to bring up another topic.

From Serti's point of view, it was [Ellen Poe] who was silent for a full ten minutes after asking "Araiya what do you think" before suddenly saying to her: "Shiga-kun seems to be It's almost there, do you want to go and have a look?"

After getting his memory back, Celty was indifferent to almost everything.So she had no choice but to acquiesce to this invitation from [Ellen Poe].

[Ellen Poe] took the headless horseman downstairs and knocked on the door of the newly opened room.

Shiga Naoya opened the door with a puffy face: "...Mr. Poe, don't hinder me from handling official duties!"

[Ellen Poe] directly picked him up and walked in: "Isn't this almost done? Shiga-kun, it seems that your working ability is much better than I imagined."

Shiga Naoya laughed "huhuhu": "Of course! After all, I was once a descendant of an entrepreneur, so it's not a problem to deal with this kind of business where the intrigue is almost zero!"

【Ellen Poe】Lovely stroked the dog's head of the landlord's stupid son, and looked at the two siblings who were close together: "How is it?"

Even though the appearance is still the usual cold beauty, Yagiri Hae's voice is still raised a little excitedly: "Thank you, there is nothing closer to the situation in my dream than now."

[Ellen Poe] pointed to his ear: "Yagiri-kun, as I said, this is the case of 'the brain makes you think it's real'."

Yagiri Seiji was still staring at his sister closely, but it was Shiga Naoya who answered him.

He bent down and picked up the documents on the table, and said helplessly: "Mr. Poe, stop talking nonsense that no one can understand. Come here and sign - I'm underage, even if I sign it, it will not be legally binding. "

[Ellen Poe] Sit down, grab a gel pen, and start scribbling on the document: "Don't need a lawyer to testify?"

Shiga Naoya was silent for two seconds: "...Mr. Poe, don't you understand the process very well? Then why did you tell me that you don't understand at all?"

[Ellen Poe] returned him a smile full of "yes, you guessed it, I'm just a nuisance".

Shiga Naoya: "..." I really want to hit someone.

He took a deep breath: "There is no need for a lawyer to be present. Because although Yagiri Pharmaceuticals looks like a giant on the surface, it is actually doing business such as human experiments, so the transfer of control is much simpler than normal companies."

[Ellen Poe] signed his name on the last blank, and suddenly said: "Understood. It means that if the members inside are disobedient, you can directly attack them physically?"

Shiga Naoya: "...No! They are just ordinary human employees no matter what!"

He was so desperate: "After summoning Akutagawa-kun, can I really go offline... Will there really be no problems...?"

[Ellen Poe] reassured him: "It's okay. The "Literary Association" has requirements in this regard, and only 'we' can become members of the organization."

"—In other words, I will directly fire all the employees of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals."

Hearing this, Yagiri Hae couldn't help but make a question mark: "...?"

Shiga Naoya was very angry: "No, it's obviously not okay."

[Edgar Allan Poe] blinked: "Okay. Actually, I was joking before."

He greeted everyone's suspicious eyes without embarrassment: "I will take over Yagiri Pharmaceutical in the name of an individual rather than an organization, and then I will designate a piece of land as a base."

"Although in this case, the work will naturally increase, but before Ranpo-kun comes here, I will be patient."

[Ellen Poe] shrugged his shoulders and said so in a condescending sentence pattern.

Shiga Naoya: "It's fine between you and Ranpo-kun, I can't control it... In short, I don't want to see that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been closed down by you when I go online again."

[Ellen Poe] replied: "Even if it is going to go bankrupt, the Armed Forces Department will have to be brought to the end. Shiga-kun, don't worry."

He stood up, handed the thick stack of contracts to Shiga Naoya, and said to him, "Let's go, it's time to go to Yagiri Pharmaceutical's reception room."

After confirming the number and location of signatures, Shiga Naoya asked, "Mr. Poe, have you always been this busy? Do you work from midnight to midnight every day?"

[Ellen Poe] and Celty walked towards the door, and replied: "If you mean the early stage, it is indeed the case. After all, at that time, the overall situation of the "Association of Writers" had to be considered."

Shiga Naoya: "My God..."

This is the golden rule A rich people have never touched the field.

He followed and sighed: "I think it's better to go offline. At least you don't have to work 24 hours a day."

[Ellen Poe] took the two of them to the front desk by elevator, and asked the other party to call a car to take them to Yagiri Pharmaceutical: "Your performance will be deducted if you slow down."

Shiga Naoya said: "Where is there such a thing as performance in our organization? Aren't they all voluntary to work?"

His spiritual foundation also released a message: And in essence, aren't all Huang Ye working overtime?

Aoki Araya: "..."

In the end, every time I got to the bottom of it, I was the one who got hurt, right?

[Ellen Poe] and the other two stopped talking after getting into the car—although the main reason was that Araya Aoki didn’t really want to talk—until the car stopped in front of Yagiri Pharmaceutical’s base full of white buildings After coming down, the two heroic spirits chatted again.

[Ellen Poe]: "It seems that you need a key card to get in. Have you brought it?"

Shiga Naoya replied: "Miss Yagiri gave me her card, no problem."

However, after getting out of the car, the three of them had just walked to the gate marked with the words "Yagiri Pharmaceutical" when they saw a somewhat familiar person.

Although he had never met, Aoki Araya had seen this face twice in a row in the information before.

[Ellen Poe] stepped forward and greeted people: "Dr. Kishitani. You came earlier than I thought."

He took out his phone and checked the time, only to find that it was only around five o'clock in the morning.

Kishitani Shilla didn't look at him, but kept staring in Celty's direction.

He clenched his fists: "Selty...? Did you get the head back?"

Celti heard a familiar voice, and after his eyes trembled slightly, he finally had a relatively big reaction.

She still wears the yellow cat ear helmet.But when she turned around, the beautiful head held between her hands was also revealed.

Araya Aoki couldn't help sighing to Shiga Naoya and [Ellen Poe]: "Miss Headless Horseman actually responds to her cohabitant... It seems that the love between man and god is not completely impossible Well."

Naoya Shiga cheered happily.

[Ellen Poe] expressed his disapproval: "Man and God are different after all. Not to mention man and God, even between God and God, most of them can't reach an agreement... Huangye, don't be casual. It’s easy to be shaken by people.”

Aoki Araya replied: "The same is true between individuals. It is because of this that human beings appear so brilliant."

He paused for two seconds, and realized that [Ellen Poe] was actually persuading him not to associate with others casually: "Don't worry, I know very well that I am just an ordinary person, and it is impossible to go to God." about love."

[Edgar Allan Poe]: "...No, that's not what I meant."

——Then what did you mean by that sentence just now?

Hearing Shiga Naoya's mocking sound, Aoki Araya felt very puzzled.

The author has something to say:

[Ellen Poe]: Thank you for the invitation, old career fan
