How many character cards do you have?

Everyone looked at each other.

"Of course, it's not completely fruitless. What is certain is that our previous thinking was correct. No matter what purpose this magic circle wants to accomplish, it is foreseeable that it needs a lot of magic power."

Kunikida: "...Well, I have accepted the setting of magic power and magic now, can I ask why?"

"How to put it, you can understand that this is a necessary 'sacrifice' to please the evil god," Meguro explained, "Generally speaking, the process of painting symbols and offering magic power is to attract the attention of the evil god. You can understand that magic power is the most basic sacrifice. Since he has painted so many symbols, he must need a lot of magic power, and a special celestial phenomenon such as a total solar eclipse will gather the magic power in the air. The best casting time."

"So the total solar eclipse one day later is the time for him to hold the ceremony?" Dazai thought thoughtfully, "Are there any other conditions?"

"It's better to be somewhere high enough or wide enough." Meguro said after thinking, "Other than that... there shouldn't be any. If we know exactly which evil god he's going to summon, we might be able to speculate on the sacrifice he needs to prepare." what a product is, but sadly have no clue about that.”

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to know these things," Kunikida murmured, "A total solar eclipse is a rare astronomical phenomenon, and there must be many people going out to watch it on that day...Mr. Meguro, let me confirm first, the general sacrifices should not include A lot of lives, right?"

As we all know, evil gods and sacrifices are easily associated with a large number of living sacrifices, but if a monster like Shoggoth appears in the crowd, it will cause confusion. When Kunikida asked this question, he obviously had lucky.

However, Meguro Eluo was silent for a while: "It is usually included, but of course not this time."

Of course he wouldn't be that crazy, but he didn't want to instill wrong ideas in the detective agency.

Kunikida and the others seemed to have misunderstood something, with a serious look on their faces: "Then some public places must be assigned manpower... It would be best if the government came forward to prohibit gatherings in public places."

"About this... If possible, can you try not to let the official people know about the evil god?" At this time, Meguro suggested weakly.

"why?"

"How should I put it, there has always been an unspoken rule among our investigators - the more you know, the faster you die. Of course, this sentence is not 100% true, at least in the case of a legendary investigator I know No, but it does have some truth, it’s not a superstition, it has indeed been proven over the long years that once you know certain knowledge, you may be noticed by the evil gods, and this is the reason why our organization strictly guards certain secrets.”

Meguro said euphemistically: "Of course, some people think that it's not that the evil god paid attention to some people, but that some people got a pass from the abyss. The name of the pass is desire."

Dazai understood in seconds: "You just said that people with higher official positions are more afraid of death and pursue eternal life. Isn't that true?"

"Well, and the cost of summoning evil gods is sometimes unimaginably cheap for those in high positions, and they can often do more things than ordinary people, such as establishing an island with only death row prisoners and the like... ..."

"It sounds very possible." Yu Xie Ye couldn't help but nodded.

"But if you really do nothing, the risk is too great."

At this time, Dazai said slowly: "I happen to have an idea about this..."

……

"I understand, Hong Kong and Black will also cooperate with this operation." Mori Ogai hung up the phone and sighed slowly.

"It's so embarrassing ~ Rin Taro." Alice sneered while drinking black tea.

Mori Ogai did not refuse the cooperation invitation proposed by the detective agency. After all, he could not refuse now. Most of the people with different abilities sent by him were injured to varying degrees during this operation. Only Kejiro Kajii, who was not good at team battles, Chuya Nakahara, who hadn't returned from a business trip, and himself were the only ones left.

Ah, by the way, there is also Yumeno Hisaku who has been in a state of autism since he came back.

"Did he manage to make Mengye take back his ability?" Mori Ogai murmured half puzzled and half complicated.

Kusaku Yumeno's supernatural ability, Brain Hell, is a mind-control supernatural power that does not know the enemy or us, and it is difficult to control, at least he cannot do it himself. People controlled by supernatural powers will attack people around them crazily until they die. Only Osamu Dazai has ever had it. The anti-power [Disqualification in the World] can be eliminated.

Because of this uncontrollable ability, Mori Ogai is also a headache. It is obvious that this ability is no less than a weapon for Shuanghei when used well, but because of Yumeno Kusaku's loss of control, he has become a closed double blade in the confinement room. Sword, Mori Ogai used a lot of thought to let Yumeno control his ability before, but the result obviously didn't work at all.

As a result, Mengye turned off his supernatural ability for the first time, but when he was facing the enemy...

One can imagine how complicated Mori Ogai's emotions are now.

Is he really that bad at teaching people?

It was a rare occurrence for Mori Ogai to reflect on himself.

"Rin Taro~ The black tea is cold!" Alice called a few times and found that Mori Ogai ignored her, and shook her unhappy.

"Got it, got it, let's change the hot water now." Mori Ogai regained his senses, sighed, forget it, let's talk about this issue later.

Now just focus on fighting against that mysterious man. If the detective agency is willing to take the lead, let them go.

As a pragmatist, Mori Ogai doesn't mind the process as long as the result can be achieved.

……

Just when the detective agency and Hong Kong and black cooperation were in a hurry to discuss how to deal with this crisis.

Acton, who created this crisis, has already prepared the script for the final battle.

It doesn't need to be too complicated. After all, he is now a 'novice level'. It is enough for the people in Yokohama to know what is going on now and what they are about to deal with next.

Of course, his ritual magic is casually drawn, but it is true that more and more evil gods will pay attention to this world from now on, and it is even true that they are ready to invade this world at any time, so in terms of the results, his 'ritual magic', It can be said that it is the magic that has attracted the attention of many evil gods here?

Thinking of this, Acton couldn't help but smile.

The last time I gained so many points, it stands to reason that it can be strengthened well, but this time Acton, in addition to exchanging a crystal ball that can collect magic power for ritual magic, and a new spell 'controlling humans', There is no need to continue to spend points.

After all, his task is to accompany and guide, not to beat the new investigator to death in the cradle before the evil god comes... Hey, maybe this is happier.

Acton thought indifferently, if there are no accidents, just fight with them casually, and then you can retire. This time the dungeon is completed, no one will tear the card, and no one will go crazy. I am really kind. When you run a group online, you will be praised to the point where kp is released to the sea.

[…] System, [Before you say this, don’t you look behind you. 】

Acton turned around cooperatively, and saw a group of people standing behind him, wearing black suits, more or less stained with blood or mud, looking dull, with guns or ammunition in their hands.

And in the deeper darkness, three pitch-black, undulating shadows could be faintly seen, as well as continuous weird cries.

Of course, this is a 'surprise' prepared by Acton for the detective agency and Hong Kong gangsters.

A fully armed squad, and three shoggoths.

"Don't say that," Acton said without batting an eye, "isn't this the battle wheel that everyone loves? As a novice book, how can there be no freedom and huge variables that everyone loves? '

They are all Hong Kong Hei people... That's right, they are the ones that Shoggoth left behind when Asen Ogai attacked the underground waterway before, and the group that Shoggoth swallowed when he attacked the lobby of the Hong Kong Hei Building.

With the mind of being thrifty and thrifty, Acton didn’t let the Shoggoths eat people. Anyway, the Shoggoths can feed them whatever they want. The main reason is to keep the people and exchange them for a spell to manipulate humans, and then ...

He smiled silently in the dark, and wouldn't it be better to let the mafia fight their own people.

The system didn't even dare to speak, what kind of devil are you.

The day passed quickly.

Reports of the total solar eclipse were overwhelming, and the whole of Yokohama was looking forward to this rare astronomical spectacle. However, on the day when the astronomical phenomenon occurred, people from Hong Kong and Heilongjiang suddenly walked out of the building without concealing the dangerous items they were carrying.

On the land of free Yokohama, the sound of gunfire familiar to the people of Yokohama sounded again.

"This is... Mafia Rush?" Some passersby walking on the road with professional camera equipment were stunned, and then they were persuaded to leave by Hong Kong black people in suits.

Some people still want to struggle. After all, it is a rare astronomical event. Can't Hong Kong and Heilongjiang fight at another time?

The mafia responded to them with gunshots, no, when will the mafia kill people and pick a date?

It has to be said that gunshots are the best signal to dissuade the crowd, and the people on the street disperse in an instant, faster than any government announcement.

This is probably the survival desire of the people of Yokohama.

"Region a has been cleared."

"The same goes for area b."

"The evacuation of the crowd in area c is complete."

"Okay, thank you~" Dazai smiled while wearing the headset.

"I see, are you using the prestige of the Mafia to disperse the crowd?" Ero Meguro and Dazai sat in the helicopter and watched the scene underground. Take a look at the big picture here.

Originally, this kind of command position should also have a place for Ranpo, but since Meguro euphemistically told investigators that there is usually an unspoken unspoken rule of 'the more you know, the faster you die', Ranpo is still not satisfied. Reluctantly withdrew from the front line.

"It's better than a monster appearing in the crowd and causing a big commotion." Dazai thought thoughtfully, "If it was me, I would do that."

"Eh, why?"

"That Dan Acton has three combat performances since he appeared. The first time was in the warehouse of Hong Kong Hei, the second time he got rid of Akutagawa's tracking, and the third time was to go to the ambush warehouse. I got it from Mr. Mori I watched the first video and asked Akutagawa, but he didn’t seem to be capable of magic in the first two times.”

Dazai stretched out three fingers: "One is newly obtained, two is not necessary to use, and three needs to pay a huge price."

"Let's rule out two first. I didn't use it in the battle with Akutagawa before. The most likely one is actually one or three." Dazai tilted his head, "The possibility of the latter is a bit small. As you said before, people who use magic It will gradually go crazy, because this ability itself may be bestowed by the evil god, so if people who have become fanatics or crazy people use magic, will they still pay such a high price?"

Meguro was a little surprised, but with such a small amount of information, this person has already speculated so much potential information.

He pretended to hesitate for a while: "We don't know too well, but according to the information in the organization, fanatics often use some strange and powerful magic, which should come from unknown gifts."

Dazai had other things to ask, when he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sky.

The sun has begun to be shaded.

Total solar eclipse begins.
