"At first, he was chasing chaos and unease, then turbulence and chaos were chasing him, and he led them, wandering in the light and darkness, enjoying it." So said the shrunken detective.
Chapter 46: Is it a demon or a god? It is still uncertain
"Go check and see who is inciting this mob!" he said angrily. "With just a few people like this, without the ability to organize and act, and without a few leaders, it would be impossible for such a large scale to form." He gritted his teeth and said, "With such a speed, the person behind the scenes must have planned it for a long time, in order to cause panic and disrupt order. For their own interests, they disregard public security."
"And what are the people from the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency doing?" He said, "We asked them to maintain the balance of Yokohama, and they just maintain it like this? We didn't give them the ability licenses to let them show off in this city. If they can't do it, let those who can do it do it!"
"Where is Natsume Soseki? He didn't promise me this at the beginning," he tried his best to hide it, but there was still a trace of panic in his eyes: "Hurry up and ask him to think of a way to get these people back home!"
Some people were extremely angry, and the rage in their hearts was burning like the boiling fire in the city. After scolding and cursing, they quickly contacted the higher-ups and asked them to send out standardized teams to manage the rioting Yokohama City. Several people from the Armed Detective Agency went to the Special Powers Division, while the other group stayed in hiding. They may be aware of the panic of their superiors, but they are not prepared to pay any attention to them. Firstly, they do not have time, and secondly, deep down in their hearts, they may be resentful of some of the decisions made in the past.
Countless people came out of their homes, a frenzy swept every corner, some people even joined in without knowing the specific details of the parade, because they heard that this was to let the government solve the plight of Leibo Street that had been delayed for more than ten years. They couldn't help but stop, and the ideas that had long been in their minds finally surfaced.
Some people may have complicated thoughts and ideas for the sake of the most cruel interests, but there are also people who do things purely out of the most original goodwill.
Ozaki Koha stood behind the window of the building. She coughed weakly and someone behind her quickly moved a chair to her. She waved her hand and did not sit on it. "I never thought they could do such a thing. I thought that our port mafia would always be jackals in the dark, fighting each other just for the chance to survive."
The people behind her felt a little ashamed: "If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have to..."
Hongye continued, "I heard that she conquered everyone in our port with just one speech?"
Her subordinates said, "I didn't go to listen, but Yamada from the team did." His expression was a little complicated: "When the boy came back, he shouted that he wanted the people above to see this place and let the suffering people come back. I stopped him, but he was good. He kowtowed to me and said that he must go. If we think he has betrayed us, he will wait until the matter is over, and then apologize for the guilt and let us punish him."
"What crime?" Ozaki Kouye laughed: "If he is guilty, then the entire port mafia is guilty, right?"
Her subordinates were speechless. Ozaki Hongye said: "I have never felt that cadres may never be the decisive factor in the shift of power. We are just representatives of the armed forces selected by a group of people. When they disagree with us, we can't stop them unless we want to cut off our hands and feet and be rejected by everyone."
"Like Ogai-dono said, 'The leader is just a slave of the organization'. Now it seems that the cadres are similar."
Her subordinates quickly said, "We are always loyal to Big Sister!"
Ozaki Kouye shook her head: "Let alone you, even I knew what they were going to do and had the thought of joining in for a moment. If I were not in poor health now and they still have Ougai-dono in their hands... Ha, I really want to see the demeanor of that person on the stage!"
"I think that woman is simply a demon," her subordinates said in horror, "She can drive so many people crazy with just words, just like changing the hearts of so many people. She is the most terrifying person I have ever seen in my life."
Ozaki Kouye smiled gently and said, "You think so because you are not from Leibo Street. If you were from Leibo Street, and if your relatives died there, even if she was a demon, you would crawl to her and beg for her mercy."
"Besides, our country has a tradition of offering demons to the gods. When she accomplishes this, it is still unclear whether she is a demon or a god!" she said.
The subordinate nodded in understanding.
However, the fact that results were achieved so quickly was also due to the fact that the remaining people from Leibo Street were gathered together back then. If you had known this at the beginning, Ougai-dono, would you regret choosing to keep those people?
Mori Ogai didn't seem to regret anything. He was now playing poker with Alice in the same boss room as before. By cheating, he swallowed up Alice's big and small jokers and in a very mean way, he stuck notes on her face.
Alice exploded in anger. She threw the cards in her hand and shouted, "You beast, you even stole the cards when playing cards with your own special ability. Can't you have a little self-respect as a human being?"
A starry-eyed child was also crying loudly, "Doll! Doll! Jiuzuo's doll was taken away by that bad woman. Go and get it back from her!"
Nakajima Atsushi was on the other side while Izumi Kyoka was drawing joker cards. Both of them had serious expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Mori Ogai was shaken so much that whirlpools appeared in his eyes, and he looked dazed as if he was about to vomit out his soul. As soon as Natsume Soseki arrived here, he saw his disciple in such a shameful state. He jumped forward angrily and scratched him with his claws, causing Mori Ougai to scream in pain.
"Where did this bad cat come from?" Alice put her hands on her hips.
Natsume Soseki glared at her. How could he not know the truth about this little girl? He pretended to move closer and whispered to Mori Ogai, "You are just sitting here doing nothing. Don't you know that there is a big commotion outside?"
Mori Ogai sat up straight with a pitiful look on his face, and lowered his voice as well: "What can a disciple do? When I was there, couldn't I just watch helplessly? Or do you have any good ideas that you can teach me, Master?"
When the others saw the cat coming in, they all turned around with surprise in their eyes.
Natsume Sushi squeezed into his arms uncomfortably: "Don't you have anyone you can still command?"
Mori Ogai thought for a moment, "I don't know where Akutagawa is. Momiji is injured and can't exert much strength now. The Black Lizard Unit was called over by that woman. It seems like she wants them to do something."
"Good cat, good cat," Alice came closer, pretending to be attracted by the cat. She whispered, "They are asked to maintain the order of the team. That person said that chaos easily breeds violence. If someone takes advantage of this opportunity to hurt others and robs, steals, kills, and involves innocent people to satisfy their own desires, they can be executed immediately to avoid unnecessary damage."
"Poor old Guangjin, he got beaten up and now he has to get up and work," Mori Ogai said, "I am more comfortable here, I don't have to worry about anything."
Natsume Sushi had a cross on his forehead. He growled, "You bastard, the Port Mafia has been taken away by someone, and you are still gossiping here! Hurry up and think of a solution for me. Even if you can't, you have to give me something!"
Mori Ogai sighed, and whispered, not letting anyone see his mouth shape: "Teacher, why didn't you accept a student like that woman? If that were the case, you might have already reached a higher position, and solving the problem of Yokohama would only take a word."
"You unworthy disciple, you are trying to PUA me." Natsume Sushi was extremely angry, he raised his cat claws and scratched wildly!
"Elegant, be elegant!" Mori Ogai dodged and reminded loudly: "As a cat, you can't hurt people!"
"Bang——" the sound of the door opening. Isabel and Kojima Nanako walked in from outside. They looked around. Mori Ogai was playing poker with Alice. This time he lost and was helplessly given a white note. Nakajima Atsushi pulled Izumi Kyoka, who stared at Mori Ogai's direction very seriously. The first person to speak was the boy who was crying before. He said with a grin, "Something just ran in."
Kojima Nanako looked at Izumi Kyoka, who nodded and said calmly, "It's a cat."
"It was Yumeno Hisaku who said it first," the little boy glared at her in dissatisfaction, then turned his head and said, "Hisaku is an honest child. Can you reward me, sister?"
He threw down the toy he was playing with, and Dada ran over and said, "Ask the other sister to return the doll to me and give me a hug. Jiuzuo has lost his family since he was a child..."
Kojima Nanako directly blocked his way with a sword, and seeing that he failed, he curled his lips and turned around and said, "It's this thing again, it's not even a human body, and it can't be marked. It's really a foreign object!"
Seeing that he was betrayed, Mori Ogai shed wide noodles tears. He rushed to Isabel's thigh and hugged her and said, "It was Natsume Soseki who came to me on his own initiative. I didn't want to see him at all. He kept urging me and scratched my face. I didn't reveal anything because I didn't know anything at all!"
Isabel propped him up with the tip of her umbrella. She said with a half-smile, "You throw it pretty fast."
Mori Ogai nodded repeatedly: "I have wanted to say this for a long time. You and our Port Mafia are so compatible, and so many people love you. If you are willing to stay, I believe everyone will agree. If you are willing to join, I can give you all the positions below the leader. It is not impossible to set up a deputy leader position. Even my position, after a while, it is not impossible to give it to you..."
He said shyly, and the expression he had when he was taken off the stage that day appeared on his face again. He looked at Isabel with extremely burning eyes, as if he had seen a huge diamond that was unparalleled in the world, and his greed was beyond words. This attitude is definitely not fake.
Kojima Nanako laughed, without even a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and said, "How could the lady only stay in a small place like Yokohama..."
"Nanako." Isabel called her. Nanako knew she had spoken out of turn.
Isabel looked at Mori Ogai and said, "I promised Nakahara Chuuya not to hurt you, but if you do anything to harm us, I will not show mercy just because of a word."
Sweat dripped down the back of Mori Ogai's head. He smiled and said, "I sincerely invite you."
Isabel said, "I'll just assume you're real." She didn't pursue the matter, but Mori Ogai felt worse. He thought about the things he had given away and thought, "There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Nanako left with Isabel.
As the situation escalated, Isabel divided the city into more than a dozen areas and took control of them all. The dozens of men in black suits who defected with Nishio Zhuang were somewhat puzzled. After knocking down a man who tried to break into the residential area on the street, one of them asked, "Didn't we betray the port mafia? Why do we have to do something like maintaining public order that we would never have done before?"
Xiwei Zhuang's face was calm. He said, "What do you want to do? Rob others' property, fight against your former colleagues, and fight with cadres with superpowers?"
The smile on that person's face became awkward. Nishio Zhuang said: "Doing this is actually a good thing for us."
"This shows that the person we are relying on now is not a madman who wants to destroy everything." Nishio Zhuang said seriously: "'If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.' Only a person who is not crazy will think about the subsequent development, and we who can be sent to do these things will not be her pawns to be used and discarded. We have the hope to continue to move forward."
As he said these words, Guangjin Liulang of the Black Lizard came running from the other side of the street. They looked at each other, said nothing, and turned around and left.
It’s not that we don’t know these people are traitors, but at least now, they are all working under the same person.
The building of the Special Powers Agent Department.
Many people looked at the people around them in confusion. They were all elites selected from the city. Logically, they should not have had such a reaction. However, unlike a country farther away on the other side of the ocean, they had no experience in dealing with mass demonstrations. Not to mention that, even in that country, there were very few precedents of an entire city being in turmoil.
The young man wearing glasses, Ango Sakaguchi, pushed up his glasses and said, "The army has been dispatched and will be here soon. What should we do now?"
The bald commander, Taneda Santouko, tapped the table with his fingers: "They don't have weapons of mass destruction, do they?"
Sakaguchi Ango replied: "Not now. There are only some basic explosion-proof items, which will not cause much harm even if used on people. But it is hard to say in the future." He thought: "After all, a large part of the participants are mafia members. They have weapons in their hands. Once they open fire, the situation will immediately collapse. At that time, some people may not care about the people involved."
Taneda Santohuo sighed and said, "Why does it have to involve so many people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of stone hitting glass outside, and someone below was shouting, "Revive Leibo Street!"
"Apologies to all those who lost their lives on Murphy Street!"
“We want our rights, the government can no longer turn a blind eye to the consequences they have caused!”
"Give us a miracle!" Someone shouted desperately, "Let our loved ones come back!"
Taneda Santouko sighed again and said, "The current situation is no longer the situation between us and that foreign woman."
"The British side said that Isabel has no connection with their government," Sakaguchi Ango said after scanning an email. "If she did anything, it was entirely her own behavior. They don't have any files on her. But as a British citizen, we have to ensure her most basic personal safety."
"She must be dealt with," Taneda Santouki said, "I'm worried about something else."
Sakaguchi Ango only thought for a few seconds before he understood and said, "You mean, the contradiction between the people's desires and the wishes of the upper echelons?"
"The people won't give up easily," Taneda Santohuo said, "but those people will never use that thing here. They keep it to solve the world crisis. If they compromise with these people outside, doesn't it show their weakness?"
Sakaguchi Ango fell silent for a long time, then said, "You really don't want to consider it, there are so many people..."
Taneda Santouko shook his head, took off his reading glasses and wiped them with a soft cloth: "To some people, the number of people is just a number."
"Can't you even take it out and fool around a little?" Sakaguchi Ango blurted out instantly, and soon he realized his mistake, "Sorry, I got a little impatient."
Taneda Santouhuo didn't care. He said, "It's okay. Don't worry, not everyone is like that. And this time is different from the last time. This time we are here, and their numbers are greater. A city is different from a neighborhood, and a disaster that hasn't happened is different from a disaster that has already happened. Public opinion spreads so fast now that they can't block it even if they want to."
"They have to consider the pressure from the outside world," he said with a deep sigh after glancing at the overseas email, "This move is really brilliant. She is not forcing anyone else, but me who is standing here right now."
