Xiao Ba did not fall to the ground.

While her consciousness sank into the darkness, Toru Amuro, who was busy with first aid actions, suddenly stretched out his hand as if he knew what would happen next, just in time to catch the girl who was weak and collapsed.

Adjusting his posture slightly, Amuro let the fainted Hachi lean against his arms, but when he adjusted this movement, the light brown half-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose slipped and fell to the ground, just at this time , the gate of the rooftop was kicked open, and two people rushed over:

"Brother Shishu!"

The first time they saw the young man lying on the ground covered in pools of blood, their expressions changed drastically!

Then they noticed the two people beside Brother Shishu:

"You two..."

"You guys came just in time!" Toru Amuro let go of the hand that had already done the first aid work, supported Xiaoba's body that was about to slide off him, and said quickly, "I called an ambulance, and it should be there soon. Before, you hurriedly helped him maintain his body temperature - when we arrived, he had already lost a lot of blood and his body temperature began to drop. Although my friend helped transfer his fatal wound to his limbs, the lost blood could not be replenished for the time being , still need to keep him warm!"

"...In addition," there was a pause, seeing the two hurriedly took off their coats to cover the legs and body of the unconscious person on the ground, Toru Amuro pointed to one of the people's feet, and said, "You stepped on my friend's glasses , remember to pay later."

The boy who is huge but has a childish face can still be seen. The boy wearing sunglasses lowered his head blankly, and saw the glasses under his feet that were smashed to pieces and the frames were deformed—when he rushed up just now, he stepped on it on the glasses.

The smell of disinfectant water awakened Xiao Ba's sanity.

In the blurred vision, the footsteps of people coming and going are hurried, there are rolling wheels, the hem of white clothes... have you arrived at the hospital...

The eyes that were barely open closed again, and after a while, they opened again.

"Are you awake?" A gentle voice came from above, "Would it be better to lie down for a while?"

Xiao Ha raised her head in a little bewilderment, and found herself leaning against Amuro Toru, covered with a coat. They were sitting on a bench outside a certain emergency operating room, and a large group of people she didn't know were anxious Waiting outside the door, praying with eyes closed, or staring at the door of the operating room with a blank expression, and a little girl who looked less than ten years old but had all white hair and was wearing a red dress didn't have much expression on her face. But grabbing the corner of the young man's clothes beside her, there was some kind of sadness, and he muttered to himself: "Respect..."

The young man who was grabbed by the corner of her clothes stopped staring at the door of the operating room, lowered his head, and reached out to touch the little girl's head: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

As if sensing the sight from this side, he looked over.

The young man's gaze was very oppressive, so startled that Xiao Ba hurriedly looked away, but unexpectedly, the man bowed his head and said a few words to another young man, handed over the little girl to the other young man's care, and walked over.

Xiao Ba subconsciously tightened the corner of his clothes.

"This is the leader of the Barbara, Mr. Zhou Fangzun." Probably seeing her fear, Amuro whispered to her, "Do you still remember what happened before the coma?"

Xiao Ba was stunned: "The rooftop...someone was shot!"

"Well, the person who was shot was Mr. Shishu Tatara from Barbara. Fortunately, Xiaoba was here today, and he transferred his fatal wound to his limbs in time, and successfully made Mr. Shishu survive until the ambulance arrived." Toru Amuro also felt lucky. Without Nana, it would be absolutely impossible for the ambulance to arrive with ten bundles of Tara's injuries.

"Thank you both very much for your help to Duo Duoliang. When the situation here stabilizes, Barbara will thank you very much—maybe I won't be free recently." The young man who was entrusted by Zhou Fangzun to take care of the little girl just now said with a wry smile.

"No, where..." Xiaoba conditioned reflexively, and then realized that they said that they don't have time recently...

"You want to track down the shooter?"

Xiao Ba asked, and then found that the people at the door of the operating room seemed to be barbarians, and there were no policemen.

Strange, there was a shooting, why there were no police?

Then, under the explanation of Mr. Amuro, who whispered in her ear, she realized that Barbara wanted to track down the murderer himself, so he didn't report the crime.

"Can you tell us what you saw when you arrived at the rooftop?" The young man who spoke just now said again, "Mr. Amuro has already said it once, but we want to confirm it again."

This sentence contains a lot of information.

Xiao Ba looked hesitantly at the barbarian people with serious expressions, and then at Zhou Fangzun who gave her a great sense of oppression - when he noticed her nervous appearance, Zhou Fangzun took a few steps back to make room for her. space.

"I remember when Mr. Amuro and I rushed to the roof, there was no one else on the roof except Mr. Shishu." Xiaoba recalled, and said, "The floor of the Hirasaka Building is not particularly high, and there is only one The elevator goes up and down. Mr. Amuro and I took the elevator up. When we got to the second floor, because we would pass by the stairs, I took a look at the stairs and found that the door over there was locked. Judging from the accumulated dust, at least No one opened it for four or five months.

"From the second floor to the top floor, there is only one staircase going up and down. We didn't meet anyone until we opened the door leading to the roof. As for the roof, when we arrived, there was only Mr. Shishu who fell on the ground. up.

"That is to say, if there is no special ability at work, the person who shot Mr. Ten Beasts was either shot from another building in the distance, or after shooting Mr. Ten Beasts, in a way that is not normally possible. , and left the rooftop." Xiao Ba concluded.

"It's unlikely to be a shooting from another building. I have checked the wounds of Mr. Shishu, and it was caused by some kind of weapon - this kind of weapon can only be used for self-defense and surprise attacks within 50 meters. Judging from the wound on Shishu-kun's body, the distance will not exceed ten meters. Of course, more importantly," Amuro said, looking at Zhou Fangzun, "Tushu-kun took a picture of the murderer."

Following Amuro Toru's line of sight, Xiao Ba looked over, and his eyes fell on the ancient video camera held in Zhou Fangzun's hand: "... there looks like a murderer inside!?"

"Well," Zhou Fangzun said calmly, "The memory card has been taken out, and someone has to restore the data."

Xiao Ba sharply saw that the sound of the camera also had traces of gunshots, but it was not near the memory card, but at the lens. Obviously, the murderer had no serious intention to destroy the traces at all, and the most likely thing was to shoot casually.

How bold.

"If the data is restored, can you please send me a copy?" Xiaoba boldly asked, "I also want to help. If I see someone, I can notify you."

This request was not excessive. Zhou Fangzun nodded and asked her name and contact information. At this moment, the lights in the emergency operating room went out, and the doctor came out to indicate that the injured were out of danger and only needed to rest the wound. Only then did these people with solemn expressions let out a cry of joy—but they were forced to suppress them halfway through the call.

This is a hospital, so it cannot affect the rest of others.

"Then, let's go back first. If you need to inquire about the situation, you can contact me." Amuro said and stood up. After getting Zhou Fangzun's nod in agreement, he bent down and tried to stand up directly but failed Xiao Ba hugged her, "I'll take you home, you can't walk by yourself yet."

The shopping bag that Hachi threw at the entrance of the supermarket had already been put in the car by Amuro Toru, and Hachi, who was temporarily unable to walk around on her own due to her special ability, was put in the passenger seat, and she fastened her seat belt. Toru Amuro got into the driver's seat by himself, started the car, and drove steadily all the way to Mihua Town at a low speed.

"What's the matter, you've been looking at me all the way?" While waiting for the red light to turn green, Amuro smiled and turned to the girl who had been silently staring at him and said, "Ah, if it's glasses, you His glasses fell to the ground and were accidentally trampled by one of Barbara's men, he said he would send them over with the gift in a few days."

After being reminded like this, Xiao Ba noticed that her glasses were gone: "It doesn't matter what the glasses are..." She was silent for a while, and then asked the question that had troubled her all night, "Why does Mr. Amuro seem to be Know my abilities better than I do? We've known each other before?"

In addition...

"Nai Nai, are you referring to me?" Xiao Ba asked, "Why do you call me that?"

This... Toru Amuro smiled wryly and didn't answer. He just stretched out his hand and patted the head of the girl beside him: "You will know later. Nana's words, because it is Natsuhime (Xia Ji), the beginning of the pronunciation is NA. I called it Nana, sorry!" He frowned in distress, "Ah, I'll take you here, can you leave by yourself?"

He decisively changed the subject.

The car stopped at an intersection, and Xiaoba looked at it, it was an intersection near her home, about a few hundred meters away from her home, so she nodded, moved her hands and feet that had gradually regained strength, and untied her Putting on the seat belt, he took the shopping bags purchased from the supermarket and got out of the car.

The white Mazda stopped at the intersection for a long time. He didn't start the car until the lights on the second floor of a single-family villa in this community came on, put down the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.

When Xiaoba pulled up the curtain on the second floor and looked at the intersection from a distance, there were no cars there.

already gone?

She thought about it, and it just so happened that at this time, the mobile phone made the sound of receiving a message. Xiao Ba opened it and saw that it was a message from the blond young man named Izumo Kusanagi in Barbara, who seemed to be an important cadre. a video file.

Xiaoba connected the phone to the computer and opened the video file on the computer.

It's a video of when Jujuku Tatara was attacked.

She looked at it once, and after the progress bar went to the end, she pulled it back to the original point and looked at it again. After repeating this several times, she fixed the picture on the face of the white-haired boy who was laughing wildly, and fell into deep thought.

Mr. Shishu Tatara went to the roof to shoot the night scene, and when he went up, the white-haired boy was already there, leaning on the railing of the roof and looking into the distance, humming the Ave Maria.

When Mr. Ten Beams talked to him, he didn't know where he was irritated. The white-haired boy turned his head and pulled out the gun from his pocket, and shot Mr. Ten Beams.

What impressed her the most was that after Mr. Shishu fell down, the other party even turned the camera that had been moved away, pointed it at himself, laughed wildly and introduced himself as the seventh king, the colorless king, Waiting for someone here—Mr. Shi Shu just introduced himself to him and asked him what he is doing here, is he answering him here?

Xiao Ba frowned.

Also, what is the Seventh King?

The notification of the incoming call from the mobile phone brought her back to her senses: "Hi, hello, this is...Mr. Dazai?"

"Is it such a surprise to receive my call?" The bandaged young man in Yokohama sat on the railing by the sea, his long legs resting casually, the sea breeze blew his forehead hair, revealing eyes with a lingering smile, "Are you safe in Tokyo? Why don't you call me back and tell me you're safe?"

"I reported Mr. Yuji's safety..." Xiaoba explained with a guilty conscience, in case she was caught asking why she didn't report him, she hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, Mr. Dazai knows what kingship is who?"

King?

Xiao Hachi lived in Mihua Town, but the first place that Weizhong Academy arrived on land was Zhenme Town... the Red King of Zhenme Town?No, the Scarlet King is not the kind of character who would advertise himself as a king... Has she met any other kings?

Thousands of thoughts boiled in his heart, but Dazai Osamu's tone did not change at all: "Well, you are asking the right person, most people don't know this! It is a follow-up effect caused by a stone slab, and the stone slab chooses the king. The seven kings, they can distribute their power to the clan, so that people without special abilities can also have superpowers-this is one of the ways for the powerless to acquire abilities other than enrolling in Academy City to accept superpower development courses. "

"Does Mr. Dazai know who the seven kings are?" Hachi asked cautiously.

"Well, because the king's power is out of control, he will drop his sword and die, so they will often be replaced. Who does Xiao Ba want to ask?" The young man's smiling voice rang on the phone.

Mr. Dazai is still so perceptive. Originally, he wanted to hide the questions he really wanted to know in a bunch of questions... Hey, how can I hide from Mr. Dazai and ask what I want to know... Xiaoba felt a little discouraged in his heart Thinking about it, he explained honestly and clearly: "The seventh king."

"Seventh... is an avant-garde poet!" Dazai Osamu sighed, recalled the information he knew, and said, "Mirwa Yiyan, his name, but as far as I know, he has been died."

"died?"

"Well, after the former king dies, the new king will be chosen by the slate, but at present, no one knows who the new seventh king, the colorless king, is, where, and what he is doing. What."

Ah, I know, he just shot a cadre of Barbara on the rooftop of Biliangsaka Building, and it is very likely to cause chaos in the surrounding area in the near future... Xiaoba said silently in his heart.

After waking up, she noticed the distinctive temperament of those people, and what she wanted to say was very similar to the Mr. Nakaya she knew.

According to Mr. Amuro's suggestion, Barbara is also a similar organization. Maybe they are usually very peaceful and will not cause trouble, but when Mr. Ten Shu was attacked and nearly killed, they would not let it go. Those people in front of the operating room The expression told Xiao Ba about this.

If a mafia-like organization does not call the police, but resolves the attack by itself... No matter how Xiao Ba thinks, he doesn't think that Barbara's methods will be so gentle.

Especially since they all seem to be people with special abilities.

Xiao Ba recalled those teenagers in front of the operating room who seemed to be trying to suppress, but occasionally there would be a little flame overflowing from their bodies.

It will affect the lives of ordinary people.

"What's the matter, did Hachi encounter some kind of case?" Osamu Dazai asked on the other end of the phone.

Xiaoba didn't hide this from him: "Well, I encountered a case related to the king, and I want to solve it quickly, otherwise, Zhenmu Town may become chaotic."

"Is it...do you need my help?"

"No need for now, if necessary, I will call Mr. Dazai for help!"

"Sounds really confident!"

"Of course, Dazai-san and Ranpo-san are standing behind me!"

With this as the conclusion, Xiao Ba said good night to Mr. Dazai on the other end of the phone, and pulled the video in front of him back to the beginning again.

After a moment, she stopped on one of the frames.

When the boy who claimed to be the colorless king said "waiting for someone here", his eyes were on...

sky.

It's not particularly obvious, but if you look closely, you can notice that he is looking at the sky above his head.

According to the micro-expression language Mr. Dazai taught her, the potential meaning of this action is...

Xiao Ba opened the window on the second floor, facing the cool evening breeze, looking at the star-studded sky.

She dialed Mr. Amuro's phone number she got at the hospital just now: "Hello, Mr. Amuro, it's me, Xiaoba."

Toru Amuro was surprised to receive a call from Nana at this time. He thought it would take a few days at the earliest before Nana called him to insinuate something. He motioned to Yuya Kazami, who was about to come over to report something, for the time being. Don't say anything: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well, I have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Amuro to investigate. It is about the attack on Mr. Shishu."

Ten bundles of tatara?

Toru Amuro's eyes sank. He knew how sensitive Nana was, but now Nana didn't know anything. In the hospital, she didn't even know the king, but she was able to realize that something was wrong... Who did she ask?The ex-cadres of that Port Mafia?

Inexplicably, Toru Amuro felt a little uncomfortable, why didn't he come and ask him?

Of course, he still said in the same tone as usual: "What did you find?"

"I just watched the video sent by Mr. Kusanagi, and noticed one thing: when the murderer said he was waiting for someone, he was looking at the sky."

Under the signal of Amuro Toru's eyes, Kazami Yuya quickly opened the video and pulled the progress bar to the place Xiaoba said: Sure enough, when he said this sentence, the white-haired boy made a movement of looking up.

"The person he is waiting for may be from the sky, so I want you to check. At that time, the route will pass through the Hirasaka Building—I guess that's why he disappeared from the rooftop mysteriously."

"I see! I'll check right away!" Amuro finished hurriedly, and hung up the phone. As the person in charge of the zero branch with extremely high authority, he knew a lot of things that Xiaoba didn't know. When she mentioned the route, He realized the blind spot before!

After a while, Kazami Yuya's surprised voice sounded:

"Mr. Furutani, we found it! At that time, there was only one route passing by the Hirasaka Building!"

"It is the airship 'Himmelreich' (Empire of the Sky) of the Silver King!"

Suppressing all the turmoil in his heart, Toru Amuro opened his mouth, only to realize that his voice was unreasonably hoarse: "Notify Fei Shiyuan... No, directly connect to the King of Gold and tell him that the Seventh King, the new Colorless King The intention is to harm the first king, the Silver King! Please go and check the situation of 'Himmelreich' (Empire of the Sky)!"
