49 Chapter 49

"Do I still need to go for something like this?"

A large number of prison guards surrounded the four people in an instant. Nakajima Atsushi, who was about to launch a sneak attack, paused and stopped.

Ye Yueshen caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of his eye: [……]

Although the result was correct, it was a little different from the script he had in mind.

In a fixed script...how could there be variables?

Ye Yueshen had a bad feeling in his heart.

The system still sighed: [Is this also part of your plan? ]

Ye Yue Shen: [You can think so.]

The process is not important, as long as the result is right.

Thinking this, he immediately began to perform.

The young man standing in the middle of the monitoring room paused, his smile faltering. Without saying a word, he glanced at the prison guards surrounding him.

"Are you distracted?" Dazai Osamu glanced at the prison guard and did not take the opportunity to go forward and use his supernatural powers on Yun Xiji. Instead, he turned his head and observed Yun Xiji.

Yun Xiji was stunned for a long time when this group of prison guards appeared.

He instantly guessed the reason why Yun Xiji was distracted: "Are these people variables to you?"

"Variables always exist." Yun Xiji said.

He found all the variables through countless cycles and found a solution for each variable.

"This is a new variable," said the Fortune Teller.

Logically speaking, the only variable here is Nakajima Atsushi. The people sent by the warden to surround them will run into Izumi Kyoka and his other alias.

But something went wrong in this world. This group of prison guards did not follow the original route, and their attention was not diverted by the detective agency people.

Just when he was getting closer to success, a new variable appeared.

The smile disappeared from Yun Xiji's face.

The guards pulled out electric batons and threatened the men: "Behave! You can't escape now."

In a confined place like the monitoring room, this group of people had no way to retreat.

The guards gradually narrowed the circle, and the one at the end of the line communicated with the warden: "We have surrounded the fugitive and the fortune teller."

"Yes, very good." The warden asked, "I saw your team went around to Area A ahead of time?"

The prison guard continued to report: [A prisoner in Area A has requested a meeting, stating that he has an important matter. The team will remain in Area A until further notice.]

So when they received the news, the team had been talking to the prisoners in Area A, and when they received the warden's arrest order, they rushed straight to the monitoring room.

They were so fast that the people in the room were surrounded by prison guards before they could even say a few words.

Dazai Osamu retracted his gaze and said to Yun Xiji, "Let's call a truce."

They have a new enemy.

Prison guard.

Whether it is them or Yun Xiji, the primary goal now is to find a way to deal with this group of prison guards, otherwise nothing can be discussed further.

"Truce?" Yun Xiji asked, "Why a truce?"

This answer was beyond the detective agency's expectations.

"It would be better if we all died here together."

Everyone was stunned and stared at Yun Xiji.

Die together?

Does this guy know what he's talking about?

Is he crazy?

"The warden gave the order three minutes ago. The reason you were able to arrive so quickly was because you had previously visited prisoner Fyodor in Area A Prison." He was analyzing the situation for himself. The prison guards had different expressions on their faces, looking at him in surprise and confusion as he talked to himself.

"The variable is with Fyodor."

Dazai Osamu's expression changed.

Yun Xiji's expression could be described as calm. "Reopen."

——? ? !

As soon as he finished speaking, Dazai Osamu was the first to realize that something was wrong, and he immediately reached out to grab Yun Xiji.

But it was too late.

"Boom!!" An explosion suddenly sounded, and the entire prison was shaking. The horrific explosion made everyone panic.

"what happened?!"

"It exploded??"

"How could a prison explode?"

The prison guards were making a lot of noise and some of them ran out to check the situation. In the control room closest to the bomb, the warden was so frightened by the sound of the bomb that he almost bumped into the table.

The alarm rang out in the prison, shrill and piercing.

The warden grabbed the communicator: [Catch Yun Xiji!]

One sound was followed by another.

In an instant, chaos broke out in the prison.

Dazai Osamu held Yun Xiji tightly. [No Longer Human] could prevent Yun Xiji from using his supernatural powers, but it could not change the reality that had already happened.

[No Longer Human] is activated.

After the previous explosion, the next explosion did not occur for a long time.

Dazai Osamu's expression was slightly tense.

The purpose of the "fortune teller" is to commit suicide, and the prison and other people are just incidental.

Why?

Just because a plan failed... you just choose to die and start over?

The pair of strange eyes fell on him.

"The enemy is ready to reopen, and the detective agency is still stopping them?" Yun Xiji said, "How kind of you."

Dazai smiled: "You will blow us all to death."

If Yun Xiji was going to stab him with a knife, he would definitely not stop him.

While the two were talking, Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi were stopping the prison guards who were about to take the opportunity to arrest them.

Without Yun Xiji's obstruction, the detective agency's operations became smooth.

Nakajima Atsushi knocked out several prison guards, turned around and saw Kunikida Doppo put away his gun, and adjusted his glasses expressionlessly.

"We need to leave now," Kunikida Doppo said, "and go find Murasaki and Kyoka."

"What about Mr. Dazai?"

"Knock out the Fortune Teller."

Nakajima Atsushi took action immediately after receiving the instructions.

He took a step forward, and a scratch suddenly appeared in the middle of the door in front of him, and then the door fell down neatly.

“!!”

Nakajima Atsushi quickly jumped away, and two figures appeared behind the door, they were Kurome Yukito and Izumi Kyoka. Yasha Shirayuki floated behind Izumi Kyoka and took care of the prison guard behind the door.

Mu Ye Xue Che shook the access card in his hand and raised his chin slightly: "I have got the password to the gate."

"Let's go."

【It's a knife, everyone, eat quickly! 】

Ye Yueshen edited the post and published it immediately. He was very confident in his ability this time. He started with a long introduction and concluded with a sentence: [… Yun Xiji must have collapsed a long time ago. ]

The system looked at his edited post and said, "I just thought you were really going to tear off your account."

[It’s not time yet.] Ye Yueshen said.

If he really wanted to tear off the vest, he would have just shot himself instead of making a big fuss and blowing up this place.

It wasn't time for the detective agency members present to die.

Without the protection of special abilities, the one most likely to die is the fragile Yun Xiji. He must ensure that the momentum is huge and does not really affect himself.

The knife and posts are ready, now just need to wait for fermentation.

"Are you sure you can leave?" Yun Xiji seemed to realize that he couldn't reopen in a short time and suddenly changed the subject. He blinked and said, "This is Meursault."

It's not some ordinary little prison.

"Are you stalling for time?"

Mu Ye Xue Che said: "Of course we can leave."

They have access cards, know the route, know the password, and can also use the helicopter outside, so they can completely leave here.

"Of course not." Yun Xiji was surprised. "You are not planning to keep me in prison, are you?"

"You're running away without me?"

Nakajima Atsushi raised a question mark.

Why bring a fortune teller along?

Yun Xiji said lightly, "If I wake up faster than them, I can completely destroy this place."

"He can't leave here alone." Mu Ye Xue Che said, "He wants to take our plane and leave together."

Yun Xiji did not deny it.

Nakajima Atsushi: "What about the demon?"

Yun Xiji: "Are the detective agency so kind? Do you want to take one more person with you?"

“…”

That's clearly not what he meant.

Yun Xiji said, "'The detective agency sabotages Meursault prison and escapes with the prisoners'. That will be tomorrow's headline."

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Mu Ye Xue Che said: "Take him with you."

9L [Why do I feel like I'm really going to have surgery? Is this just my imagination?]

10L [Don't doubt it, this animation team has been trying to stab us, but unfortunately their comedic talent is too high, so they haven't succeeded before. Yun Xiji is a tragedy based on his setting, so I'm afraid they will really succeed.]

11L [What a joke! Daozi is completely on the wrong track, comedic skills are the true strength of the animation team]

12L [Analysis: A new variable has appeared, but Yun Xiji didn't die. Does this mean that this reincarnation won't necessarily fail?]

13L [But everything will change after the change. All the experience Yun Xiji has accumulated over so many lifetimes will be useless.]

Mu Ye Xue Che used his access card to unlock the gate. The group dodged the patrol and headed straight for the helicopter. After successfully boarding, Yun Xiji opened the forum. He glanced at this post and replied: [Yun Xiji has experienced so many cycles, it's hard to imagine how many times he has failed... This time it's been half a year, and all his previous efforts have come to nothing.]

15L [I opened the forum in a good mood, and saw this. What do I want to do? :)]

16L [All my efforts are in vain. If I really want to start, I will just repeat it. At worst, I can travel around the world every time it repeats, and take the opportunity to do something I have never done before.]

Ye Yueshen: [Upstairs, Yun Xiji should have already done what you said. He's cycled so many times, he's done everything he should have done.]

18L［…………］

19L[OP I hate you. . ]

[……]

System: [This forum interaction function should have been opened earlier.]

It sighed: [I will contact my superiors and make this good thing available to other hosts!]

Look at Ye Yueshen’s speech, it’s like he’s chasing the audience and feeding them a knife!

This is the effect he wants!

The system opened the pain value list with satisfaction, intending to take a closer look.

-54%

Eh?

wrong.

Why didn’t it grow, but instead it decreased?

The system urgently calls the host: [Something is wrong.]

[The pain value seems to be still decreasing! ]

Ye Yueshen also realized that something was wrong. He opened the forum homepage, refreshed it, and a post with [HOT] on it came into view.

HOT*【Maybe Yunxiji doesn’t need to reopen】

[As the title says, if variables can still occur after countless cycles, then this variable is definitely not a simple variable, it is likely to involve something at a higher level——

Yes, that's right.

I'm talking about 'books'.

1L［What do you mean?］

2L [The host will explain in detail]

3L [I'll go first, Fyodor's wish will come true!]

4L［bur？ ］

5L [Does this mean that someone got the book, so there are changes?]

6L [The prison guards were all in Prison Area A before, which is why they were able to rush to the monitoring room so quickly. So, it's possible that Tuo had obtained the book...]

7L [Is this change a test? Is he testing his luck? Is he trying to see if he can break the status quo here?]

8L [If it were President Tuo, Xiaoyun would not be able to survive no matter how you look at it. President Tuo would definitely send Xiaoyun to the next life without hesitation.]

9L [Yun Xiji was too good at asking for trouble before, and he successfully made himself the enemy of the whole world]

10L [Actually, I think Fyodor won't kill him. Instead, he'll use this to take advantage of Yunxiji. The sunk cost + Yunxiji's special ability is really useful.]

11L [Seeing the sunk costs, I really couldn't hold it in. What did Mr. Tuo sink? Time and his own health?]

12L [That's not right... Wouldn't the story end right after Tuo gets the book? Why all this trouble?]

[……]

Ye Yue Shen and the system looked at each other in surprise.

Because he thought Yun Xiji didn't have to die, he stopped increasing his pain value, and it's even decreasing?

What a joke!

This sentence inexplicably popped into Ye Yueshen's mind.

The system was silent for two seconds: [Perhaps it will start to rise again soon?]

The carefully planned big knife was so easily shattered...?

The system also began to feel dazed.

What is going on in this world?

Ye Yueshen tried to remedy the situation by posting under the previous post: [He has died so many times, maybe he no longer cares about life or death]

29L [I remember Yunxiji had a "suicidal" tag when he first appeared]

30L [I suspect the animation team forgot]

31L [Maybe I was just trying to restart the game casually back then?]

32L [I feel that taking every cycle seriously is really tiring, and seeing Yun Xiji's attitude really makes me break down]

33L [People are already crazy, but the cycle cannot be stopped]

[It worked.] Ye Yue Shen said.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when another reply popped up the next second: [The simple Yunchu doesn't understand this post. I forgot the beginning and the middle. Anyway, Xiaoyun, your changes are here.]

35L [This is the first time I'm looking forward to changes]

36L [Variables mean change. Xiaoyun, your bed is still waiting for you to come home——]

System & Hazuki Shen: [……]

Why is this audience so difficult to deal with?

The five people took Yun Xiji on a helicopter and crossed the sea.

Yun Xiji was very well behaved along the way, looking outside quietly.

He was so calm that he didn't seem like a fortune teller.

It's like a different person...

The four people from the detective agency were always on guard against him. When Yun Xiji raised his arm, Kunikida Doppo subconsciously reached for his gun.

Yunxiji yawned, and Nakajima Atsushi shuddered and looked at him in horror.

Yun Xiji propped up his chin: "Am I that scary?"

He clearly had no fighting power and was a fragile creature that could be killed with one blow.

Mu Ye Xue Che: "Can you be quiet?"

Mu Ye Xue Che obviously disliked him, and his golden eyes were sharp and he looked at him coldly.

Yun Xiji said, "You can do it."

That's the attitude.

Nakajima Atsushi felt a little uneasy.

This kind of guy who doesn't care about his own life is likely to take all of them to death when they are not paying attention.

"Are you going to hand me over to the government?" Yun Xiji changed the subject.

Kunikida Doppo: "Yes."

“I don’t recommend it,” Yun Xiji said. “If you hand me over to the government, I’ll be locked up.”

The detective agency hasn't quite figured it out.

Isn't it natural for a fortune teller to be locked up for doing something like this?

“I don’t want to be locked up.”

The four of them ignored this sentence.

The detective agency also didn't want to be involved in the matter between him and the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man.

The five of them arrived safely in Yokohama. Yun Xiji wanted to fulfill his promise. He sat there, ignoring the gun pressed against his temples, and activated his special ability.

"Everyone lost their memory in the explosion." The young man lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Only those who escaped still retain their memories."

"It's you and me."

This sentence was like a prophecy, but it was fulfilled in an instant. Mu Ye Xue Che got up and called the Special Ability Agent Department.

The person who answered the phone was Ango Sakaguchi, who was living a life of reversal of day and night. "What's going on? Did you bring Dazai out?"

"Brought them out." Mu Ye Xue Che said, "And brought one more person out."

"The Fortune Teller is right next to us?"

Sakaguchi Ango:?

His expression was blank for a second, and he subconsciously looked at the things piled on his desk.

Didn’t Meursault say he could handle Yun Xiji on his own?

Why did you let him go again?!

He asked Mu Ye Xue Che for the address, his tone unable to conceal his fatigue: "Okay, I'll send someone to pick him up now."

The other side.

Meursault Prison.

After the explosion, the guards stood up in a daze, staring at each other blankly, their minds filled with questions: Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

The warden stared at the surveillance footage with lifeless eyes. "...an explosion?"

He hesitated.

Did there just explode in the prison?

How come he has no recollection of this at all?

The warden immediately arranged for his men to retrieve the surveillance footage for him, but strangely, the prison's old surveillance footage was all distorted and nothing could be seen clearly.

I have no memory of the explosion at all.

The warden, who had seen countless psychics, quickly confirmed: "Check the prison's entry and exit lists! There are psychics who can modify memories!"

Losing one's memory of the past is a very annoying thing, but fortunately, no problems occurred among the prisoners in the prison. The warden sent someone to take an inventory and found that one person was missing from Prison Area A.

The people around him reminded him: "This person was registered and left today."

The other party may have left.

But the prison authorities had no memory of it.

The warden's face darkened. "Check this person."

The collective amnesia in prison may be related to this person!

Fyodor sat across from the empty cell. He raised his head, his purple-red eyes flickering slightly.

————

The Special Ability Agent Department was busy for two weeks before they dealt with the recent matters. The stolen pages were retrieved, they knew what was written on the pages, and sent it to the Armed Detective Agency for inspection.

Yun Xiji was arrested again and temporarily detained in the Special Ability Agent Department. In order to prevent Yun Xiji from escaping, the Special Ability Agent Department sent nearly a hundred people to monitor Yun Xiji.

Mushitaro Oguri is still on the run and Agency No. 7 is temporarily closed.

After handling everything, the Special Ability Agents Division finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then received the latest news—

The demon escaped from prison.

The Special Ability Agents Department, who were just about to go on vacation: "..."

Before joining the Special Ability Agent Department, no one told me that I had to work continuously for half a month!

Not a single day off!

Not even a single day!!

The employee vomited blood.

As the commander-in-chief of the Special Ability Special Agent Department, Zhongtian Shantouhuo has no time to sit idle, as there is a new document on his desk.

It was sent by the Port Mafia through special channels.

At this time, the Port Mafia became the most leisurely organization in this chaos. The three-quarters of a second's conception of day and dusk was extremely busy, while the night was still developing at a leisurely pace.

Nakahara Chuuya has no business trips in the near future, so he is choosing restaurants in his office.

The adjutant was curious: "Are you inviting anyone to dinner?"

Hearing this, Himuro Hayato also looked over.

"Yes." Nakahara Chuuya said frankly, "Someone helped me before, and I want to thank him."

The adjutant was very experienced in this, and he immediately named several restaurants and told them their signature dishes.

"I don't know what he likes to eat." Nakahara Chuuya hadn't said anything else, and he didn't know whether the other party would agree.

If Mu Ye Xue Che disagrees, he will give her a gift or express his gratitude verbally.

Because of their different positions, the other party might not accept his thanks, so Nakahara Chuuya wanted to express his gratitude in a way that the other party could accept.

Based on his reaction, Himuro Hayato guessed, "Is he from another organization?"

"Yes, Murasakibara Xuetetsu from the detective agency."

The adjutant was very calm about this. His boss liked to treat people to dinner as a way of thanking them. He had invited countless targets, and it was not the first time that he had invited the Armed Detective Agency.

Himuro Hayato had a meal.

The system couldn't help but ask: [Why did he invite you to dinner? ]

According to the original script, Mu Ye Xue Che should be disliked by everyone, after all, he always does things in secret and doesn't tell anyone.

Even if the script breaks down, there won't be a scene where the hostile members treat us to a meal!!

What exactly did Ye Yuexin do?

Ye Yueshen remained silent, his eyes shifting: [Nothing.]

【It was just that I was discovered again when I was doing good things. 】

system:【……? 】

Discovered again.

The system closed its eyes in despair.

The adjutant pondered the name and suddenly remembered, "I think Himuro-kun knows him?"

"I heard Himuro-kun mention it before."

A friend, or an acquaintance, perhaps?

The adjutant thought their relationship was pretty good.

They can ask Hayato Himuro to act as a middleman, which should make it easier to invite him.

Two pairs of eyes looked at Himuro Hayato at the same time.

The black-haired, red-eyed man only raised his eyes slightly to look at them.

He asked, "Do I still need to go for this kind of thing?"

Before the two could speak, Himuro Hayato continued.

"I'll fail if I go."
