Chapter 66066 Harassment Operation

When Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo appeared in the conference room (incidentally, it was Ranpo who specifically suggested that these two come), the remaining members of the Armed Detective Agency were in a small conference room prepared for them.

The relationships between the three factions within the Joint Major Crimes Unit form a perfect closed circle; friction exists between any two of them. Therefore, to prevent conflict, each faction is equipped with a small conference room…

Although the Armed Detective Agency, which has just joined temporarily, has no conflicts with the other organizations, in order to make the division between them seem more natural (lol), they've pretended it's customary to prepare a separate meeting room for the Armed Detective Agency as well.

Moreover, it is said that Balzac had already prepared a house for the hounds.

Besides a few clerks in charge of liaison, there were also a few people with supernatural abilities who came here—and thanks to Akiko Nosa, the situation was much better than expected. Kunikida Doppo and Miyazawa Kenji were also present.

Right now, apart from Akiko Yonosaka and Doppo Kunikida, who are busy arranging things—they might all be staying here from now on—Kenji Miyazawa and Jun'ichirō Tanizaki are a bit idle.

Junichiro Tanizaki was a little distracted because Naomi Tanizaki wasn't there, while Kenji Miyazawa was studying the window.

Looking at the window frame, which was fixed with steel, and the glass that felt like it was made of tempered glass (and was particularly thick), and for some reason there was a concrete partition between the window and the room, creating a safe area and simple protection.

Kenji Miyazawa looked out the window, lost in thought.

The security measures were much more comprehensive than I had imagined; it truly lived up to its reputation as a government agency.

Just as Kenji Miyazawa was feeling sentimental, a blurry scene suddenly appeared across the street, revealing a young girl and a middle-aged man.

The sudden turn of events caught Kenji Miyazawa off guard, causing him to freeze involuntarily.

Then, in the brief moment that Miyazawa Kenji was stunned, he saw the suddenly appearing little girl raise her hand, and a gun abruptly appeared in her hand.

Then, the movements were swift and clean as he loaded, aimed, and fired.

The next moment, an explosion suddenly rang out, affecting even the room and causing some tremors.

Standing not far from the window, Kunikida Doppo almost instantly pulled a notepad from his pocket, turned it into a pistol, and darted to the window, hiding by the window and peeking out to observe the outside.

Then he saw at the end of the street, a young girl in a Western-style dress proudly carrying an M14 towards him. Beside her, a man with a parrot on his head stood with his hands on the chestnut-haired girl's shoulders.

Because they were a bit far away, Kunikida Doppo couldn't see very clearly. However, a strangely strong, lifeless aura emanated from the man.

Before he could observe anything further, the two people across the street suddenly blurred and vanished.

Kunikida Doppo frowned.

"Vladimir Nabokov?"

Then who is that person next to him?

"Kunikida, what are you looking at?"

Just as Kunikida Doppo was frowning in thought, a Dazai suddenly appeared!

Kunikida Doppo, who was focused on the outside, silently looked at Dazai's head that suddenly appeared beside him for two seconds, and then silently put down the pistol in his hand.

To be honest, Kunikida didn't fire because he reacted quickly...

"Dazai Osamu! When did you get back?"

“Just now.” Dazai Osamu pointed behind Kunikida Doppo. “We were just walking to the door when the explosion happened, so no one noticed, right?”

Following the direction Dazai Osamu pointed, Kunikida Doppo then noticed that Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi had also returned.

Relieved, Kunikida Doppo briefly explained to Dazai Osamu what he had been looking at.

Dazai Osamu nodded: "It is Nabokov, that's right. The ASA is still investigating the identity of the other person. At present, all we know is that his ability is spatial teleportation."

"When we first met, the leader here had already informed us that Nabokov would be attacking frequently these days, so we should remember not to get close to the outer walls."

Upon hearing this, Kunikida Doppo frowned subconsciously, while Tanizaki Jun'ichirō, who was also listening nearby, asked a question on his own.

"If attacks are constant, why not send people to guard the perimeter?"

If they come over, just shoot. Even if you can't hit anyone, after a few tries, they won't come over, right?

"Using soldiers to blockade them won't work," Dazai Osamu chuckled, leaning closer to the window. "If there are too many people, the UN might send in a few 'soldiers,' which would be a huge loss."

Christie's "No One Survived" is far superior in terms of "massacre".

With its ability to kill ordinary people instantly upon contact, coupled with the capacity to combine into "soldiers" and fight autonomously, it can be said that in terms of "causing massive casualties," it is at the world's top level.

In terms of lethality, it might even be fair to call it the best in the world.

So much so that, faced with this extraordinary level of supernatural ability, the government didn't even dare to send out too many troops, and could only send elite units like the Joint Major Crimes Unit to carry out the arrest.

Even now, all operations that require a large number of personnel are not allowed, and even the outer cordon is being laid by several teams of three working overtime.

After Dazai Osamu finished explaining, Kunikida Doppo also spoke up: "We don't even need so-called 'soldiers.' If it were the ability user that Miyazawa Kenji and I encountered before... sending more ordinary soldiers would only increase casualties."

Even Kenji Miyazawa could ignore firearms and rocket launchers, so Mary Shelley, who could easily defeat Kenji Miyazawa, probably wouldn't be afraid of such conventional weaponry.

Dazai Osamu agreed, saying, "That's right, so for now we can only ask a small number of people to speed up the work."

However, no matter how fast the pace was accelerated, the disadvantage in numbers ultimately resulted in low efficiency in laying the blockade. During this period, a Russian girl carrying explosive bullets from a mortar would occasionally run over and attack.

During each attack, they never aim for occupied areas; instead, they simply spray bullets at the windows on each floor, acting as if "killing them is a huge bonus, even empty bullets are no loss," clearly just there to annoy us...

"Anyway, a guy as energetic as Vladimir will cause trouble wherever he goes, so rather than letting him stay at the base and make things worse, it's better to let him go and harass the Joint Major Crimes Unit."

As Holmes Christie said.

Simply put, since he's going to destroy other people's bases anyway, it's better to let him out and destroy other people's bases than to keep him locked up in your own base...

After reaching this conclusion, Vladimir now calls on Defoe to come over and bombard the area whenever he's full and not fighting with Barry.

Although Defoe could only reappear at locations he had previously moved to using his abilities, after Romain Rolland led Defoe around the perimeter of the building, there were still quite a few locations to choose from.

Holmes didn't have a good solution to this either. But since it hadn't caused much damage anyway, he simply chose to ignore it.

Anyway, these explosions won't destroy the steel wall that Kasimov reinforced, and chasing after it would be a waste of energy and likely fruitless (it's beyond Lewis's control), so why bother?

In the end, everyone is happy.
