[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

The boy-like supernatural body watched the nautical island shrouded in thick fog from a tall building.Different from the chaotic eyes of other supernatural beings, it has a look called [thought] in its eyes.

This is its luck and misfortune.

Any creature, once it has a mind, also has fear.

It is the guardian of the island - Jules Gabriel Verne's ability, let's call it "Gabe" for the time being.

The consciousness of the newborn supernatural body is still ignorant, and even if it doesn't understand survival and the meaning of survival, it has instinctively begun to fear [death].Therefore, it could sense the position of the owner of the ability, but it didn't take action by itself, but kept driving other abilities to hunt down and kill Verne.

But it always fails to succeed, and sometimes even Verne disappears from its perception.

All this, it seems that the island is also protecting the guardian in turn.

"If...kill him, I won't disappear..." Gabe, the boy-like supernatural being staying in the dark room, huddled on the chair with his thin body, put his left hand on his mouth, and bit his fist. The knuckles of my index finger kept repeating this sentence, "I must, kill..."

The red crystal on the wrist flashed a stream of light in the darkness.

Gabe suddenly raised his head, stopped repeating words, left the chair and leaned almost half of his body out of the window, but his eyes didn't look in any direction, but stared at a certain point in the void.

Then his lips moved, and he spoke silently——

Appeared.

Two people who came out through the thick fog—Verne and Chekhov, they walked from the stone steps in the direction of France to the clock tower in the center of the island.

When they reached the gate of the clock tower, they stopped and said something, and finally Verne took a step forward and pushed open the closed gate.

They boarded the staff-only elevator in the exhibition hall and directly pressed the button to go to the highest floor of the clock tower.

It seems that he wants to get rid of that man named Shibusawa Tatsuhiko first?

Gabe subconsciously bit his knuckles, his eyes resting on the red crystal on his wrist.

According to the agreement, it will prevent anyone from approaching the clock tower, otherwise it will disappear if Shibusawa Ryuhiko disarms the power.But now that it has reached this level, that man will not easily remove the supernatural ability, so it may take this opportunity to kill Verne and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko together.

As long as Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's supernatural ability is absorbed at the same time as his death, and activated at that moment, it will not disappear because of [Tatsuhiko no Mama].

After that, kill Verne, it, "Gabe", can replace Jules Gabriel Verne to survive.

"Everyone, go to the clock tower." Gabe gave instructions to all the supernatural beings under his command. The handsome young man's face showed a profound stubbornness that was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"coming."

Verne who had just stepped out of the elevator said something in a low voice.

In front is the radar detection and processing room. If you guessed correctly, behind the closed door is the supernatural being who caused all this.

But before they could walk over, a window next to it suddenly shattered. Amidst the splashing glass shards, a supernatural body jumped in from the window, followed by the second, the third, and the stairway next to the elevator. Several aliens came up.

If someone looks down from the window at this time, they will find that there are many supernatural beings pouring into the clock tower outside the clock tower.

"Find an opportunity to go inside and deal with that supernatural being." Chekhov took out a scalpel from the pocket of his white coat, twisted it with his fingertips, and held it firmly in his hand. Then he lowered his body and looked through the golden wire The lenses of the glasses landed on the supernatural body standing in front of him.

"Be careful, Chekhov, this is a fire-related ability, and the one behind it is space transfer." Verne reminded.

The surrounding supernatural beings did not wait for their conversation to finish, and launched an attack directly.

At the same time that the fire-using supernatural body rushed over, the big knife transformed from the flames also slashed in the air, directly dividing Verne and Chekhov, who were dodging, into two battlefields.

Chekhov used a scalpel to temporarily push back the supernatural body that was attacking him, then turned his head and shouted, "Verne!"

"I'm fine... um!" Verne rolled to the left in embarrassment to avoid the attack, and just as he replied, he was stabbed in the waist by the supernatural body that suddenly appeared behind him.

It is the supernatural body that shifts in space.

At such a close distance, Verne could still see the strange smile on that face that he had no memory of.

When Chekhov saw the scene on Verne's side, an anxious look appeared on his usually calm face. He wanted to jump over the flames in the middle to go there, but was stopped by the supernatural body that rushed up again.

"Cough..." Verne coughed with difficulty, trying to reach out and grab the supernatural body that appeared behind him, but the supernatural body moved in front of him using the ability of space transfer.

Second knife.

He could have avoided the knife, but another supernatural body used supernatural powers to turn his limbs into ropes and bind his feet, so that he couldn't move an inch.

Verne, who had been stabbed twice, coughed up a mouthful of blood, covered his wound and raised his head with difficulty to look at Chekhov, who was stopped by the supernatural body and desperately tried to save him, laughed softly, and his vision became blurred stand up.

His body slowly fell backwards, hitting the door of the radar detection processing room.

The door opened.

Inside is a man in white, with white hair and white clothes, the only bright colors are his eyes and the dark red apple on the table.There is also a retro pocket knife sticking out of the apple.

That man - Shibusawa Ryuhiko propped his chin with his hands folded, tilted his head slightly, and then said in an elegant and gentle tone, "It's a good struggle, but it's not enough."

"Your abilities will become my possession."

Verne who fell on the ground had lost consciousness, and the blood from the wound was smudged on the ground.

Gabe, who was secretly observing all this, couldn't help standing up, staring at Verne who fell on the ground.

That's it... did you win?

Its careful layout is for this moment.But it's so easy to achieve that it feels unreal.

No, you have to kill him yourself!Only then can it...

Gabe only hesitated before making up his mind.

The ground it stood on quickly softened like a swamp, swallowing Gabe's body. At the same time, a piece of ground on the top floor of the clock tower also underwent the same change.

Gabe appeared from the ground that had turned into a swamp, and for the first time appeared in front of others with his real body.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko didn't look surprised at all, and still smiled quietly and mysteriously.

Gabe walked to Verne's side, took the knife from the space-transferred supernatural body, aimed at Verne's heart, and stabbed it without hesitation.

ended.

In this way, I am qualified to live.

It thinks so.

"What...!" Then just before the knife was about to pierce Verne's heart, a hand grabbed its foot, and Chekhov, who was stopped by the supernatural body and flames, also shook it at the same time. The knife in Gabe's hand was blown away with the scalpel, and the flames and the supernatural body that blocked Chekhov disappeared. He quickly approached Gabe and Verne, and then activated the supernatural power.

【Sixth Ward】

Verne, who fell on the ground, and Gabe, who reacted and wanted to escape but had no time, were both replaced in the [ward].

In the ward, Verne's injury healed instantly, but Gabe's ability had no effect here.

Verne looked down at the healing wound, then walked towards Gabe.

Gabe has already discovered that the ability cannot be used, and it quickly understands the current situation.

Failed.

"I can't disappear...I want to live...!" It murmured, backed up step by step, and suddenly rose violently after retreating to a certain level, screaming and throwing itself at Verne desperately.

But it seems that the young Gabe, who is a supernatural body, is weaker than Verne after losing his supernatural power. Verne only took a little effort to subdue it.

After suppressing Gabe, Verne searched carefully, and finally found the red crystal on its wrist that all supernatural beings have.

"No...no, I don't want to disappear!" Gabe struggled violently when Verne touched his wrist, and tears rolled down his wide-open eyes, tears that he didn't even notice.

"I'm sorry, but... I have to do this." Verne stared at Gabu for a while, and smashed Gabu's wrist with the scalpel that Chekhov had just dropped in his hand. of crystals.

"Do not--"

With the lamentation of the juvenile supernatural body, Verne returned to the real space from the [ward] space.

As for the outside of the [ward], he just came out as soon as he entered.
