Amnesia and the impending storm

Lantang drove back to the port of Mafia.

The explosion that occurred seven years ago in the Rippachi district caused Rando to lose his memories of the past, and he wanders aimlessly through the streets of Yokohama every day.

Later, in order to make a living and to pursue his past, he joined the port Mafia during the chaotic period in Yokohama, becoming a low-level member.

Later, Lantang discovered that he possessed supernatural abilities and was a superhuman. He cleverly used this to climb the ranks, eventually reaching the upper echelons of the Port Mafia.

Only in this way could he use the power of the port Mafia to find out what exactly happened in the explosion.

The recent illness of the old leader of the Port Mafia gave Lantang an opportunity. With his special abilities and clean background, he successfully became a tool in the old leader's hands and got closer to the truth behind the explosion.

A few days ago, Lantang found some information about the explosion. After reading it, he dreamed about the explosion again that night.

In my dream, it was nighttime. A full moon hung high in the deep night sky, and not far away was a tranquil and beautiful sea. The bright moonlight shone down, and the surface of the sea rippled like fish scales.

He heard someone speaking in a heated voice. Lantang heard himself arguing with the other person, and he felt his own intense and turbulent emotions.

Then he seemed to do something, and the explosion happened the next second.

An indescribable presence stood at the center of the explosion, surrounded by a black and red aura. Lan Tang felt himself being thrown out by the shockwave, and then he fell into a coma. The last thing he saw before closing his eyes was the bright moon in the sky.

Yokohama's official report on the explosion was that it was caused by a leak of materials from a chemical research institute. However, through the influence of the port Mafia, Rando discovered that there was indeed a research institute there, but it was not the chemical research institute officially identified; rather, it was a secret military research base.

By meticulously investigating layer by layer, Lantang gained a more accurate understanding of his identity, but this also made him hesitant about the next steps in the investigation.

He was likely an intelligence agent sent by another country to Yokohama. Considering the scene in his dream where someone spoke to him, he probably had a partner.

Their mission was to secretly infiltrate a military research base in Yokohama. The explosion was likely caused by a disagreement between him and his partner.

Lan Tang didn't know if his partner was still alive, but considering the circumstances at the time and the fact that no one had searched for him for so many years, he thought it was unlikely.

As for what their mission was or whether they had completed it, Lantang, who had lost his memory, did not know.

However, during the search for information about the explosion, Lantang unexpectedly discovered a rumor about Leibo Street, a rumor about a person named Huangbatu.

The reason he approached the King of Sheep was because he discovered that the other party seemed to be paying attention to Huangba Tu as well.

Thinking of the King of Sheep, Chuuya Nakahara, whom he had just met, a thoughtful look flashed in Rando's eyes.

Back in his office in the port building, when he opened the door and saw the person inside, Lantang hesitated for a second before closing it. He glanced at the corridor outside and quickly shut the door.

Rando looked at Ozaki Kouyou sitting at her desk, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Ms. Ozaki, is there something you need from me?"

Wearing a maple leaf kimono, a stark contrast to her appearance in the underground interrogation room a few days earlier, Ozaki Koyo nodded slightly. She glanced at the closed door and kindly explained, "Don't worry, no one knows I came to see you."

Lan Tang paused for a moment, then walked straight to his desk and sat down.

Ozaki Koyo's gaze remained fixed on him, and after he sat down, she asked with a somewhat impatient expression, "Did you see him? How is he?"

Ever since learning in the interrogation room a few days ago that her lover might not be dead, Ozaki Koyo has been trying to contact Randou alone to get more information about her lover from him.

Yesterday, Lantang confirmed that his lover was not dead and even said that someone had saved him.

Eager to know more, Ozaki Koyo finally decided to take the risk tonight. She resolved the surveillance problem and slipped into Rando's office to wait for his return.

A knowing glint flashed in Lantang's eyes. Although he did not quite approve of Ozaki Koyo's risky actions, seeing her anxious look, he still said to her, "It was a quack doctor from Leibo Street who saved him. He is now recuperating in Leibo Street."

Upon hearing his words, a flicker of emotion flashed in Ozaki Koyo's eyes. She pursed her lips and solemnly thanked Randou.

She then pressed for more information about the quack doctor, and after learning more accurate details, she didn't linger and got up to leave.

In mid-May, the weather suddenly turned hot, and the sweltering heat of the past few days made it hard to breathe. As evening approached, a storm loomed, dark clouds blanketed the sky, and the hot evening breeze carried a hint of rain.

Tsurumi Kawaru was lying on the second-floor balcony, looking up at the sky filled with rolling dark clouds. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Large raindrops pelted down, and the air was soon filled with a damp, earthy smell.

Tsurumi Kawakami ran into the house. Dazai Osamu was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat playing a game. Hearing him run in, he glanced at him briefly.

Tsurumi Kawaru said with a hint of excitement, "Dazai! It's raining!"

Dazai Osamu withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I know, I heard thunder."

The black-haired, golden-eyed boy ran over and sat down next to him, curiously glancing at the screen. The colorful game graphics and special effects dazzled him.

So the boy looked away, listening to the thunder outside, feeling somewhat excited.

Tsurumi Kawakuri couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing that Dazai Osamu was playing games and ignoring him, he put on his shoes and ran downstairs to find Mori Ougai.

On the first floor of the clinic, Mori Ougai was sitting in front of his computer organizing the latest intelligence he had obtained. As he looked at the latest intelligence report on the port Mafia in his hand, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips and in his dark red eyes.

His plan has already begun. After laying the groundwork for so long and building up a dark web, it's time to reap the rewards.

Senou downloaded a resume template on his computer, filled it out in a standard manner, and then put the resume into a file folder for later use.

As soon as Tsurumi Kawaru came downstairs, he saw Mori Ougai behind the desk. He took a few steps forward and sat down in the chair in front of the desk. He turned his head and glanced at the torrential rain outside, while his peripheral vision noticed the file bag on the desk.

"Dr. Mori, is there any intelligence to trade?" He noticed the yellow file bag, which was usually used for intelligence transactions.

Mori Ougai paused, shifting his gaze from the computer screen to him, his dark red eyes scrutinizing and examining him. After a few seconds, he suddenly laughed and said, "No, this is a resume. I might be changing jobs in a few days."

Tsurumi Kawakami was slightly surprised, a hint of confusion in his bright golden eyes. He leaned forward and asked, "Eh? Are we moving? Are we moving house?"

Noticing that he was referring to "them," Mori Ougai smiled with pleasure and stopped working. He interlaced his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and asked in a guiding tone, "What does Ryu think of Yokohama right now?"

The topic jumped a bit too quickly, and Tsurumi Kawakami paused for a few seconds before catching up. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded to Mori Ougai, saying, "That's good. Although it can't compare to my hometown, there aren't any mischievous monsters or demons here."

Mori Ougai was somewhat speechless for a moment, then paused and began to talk about the Mafia, which occupied Yokohama's underworld.

"Yokohama's complex political landscape, stemming from the remaining concessions, has led to the rise of the Mafia. Leaving aside the Takase-kai and GGS, the Port Mafia's influence has become increasingly entrenched and stable over time. Take the incident with the sheep in Leiba Street, for example; a single order from the Port Mafia leader could cut off the resources upon which Leiba Street depended for its survival."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Tsurumi Kawakuri's expression. When he saw Tsurumi Kawakuri frown and look unhappy when the sheep were mentioned, Mori Ougai immediately found a way to break the ice.

He pressed on, his tone guiding, "Didn't Liu ask me before what kind of person the Port Mafia leader was? Does Liu have any new ideas now?"

Tsurumi Kawaru pursed his lips, frowned and pondered for a while, then looked up at him and said with an extremely serious attitude, "The leader of the Port Mafia is a bad person because he has done many bad things to oppress others, so he is a demon king who needs to be defeated."

When he said the last two words, Tsurumi Kawaru's expression was very serious. His bright and clear golden eyes under the bright light turned into inorganic glass in that instant, giving Mori Ōgai a sense of incongruity and danger that seemed out of control.

This feeling directly triggered Mori Ōgai's sixth sense of crisis; his intuition told him that he could not make a choice easily.

So, Mori Ougai composed himself and chuckled lightly, as if in jest, "Eh? Is that what Ryu thinks?"

Tsurumi Kawakami blinked, a hint of confusion in his eyes, before nodding solemnly.

Mori Ougai lowered his hand, feeling a rare headache coming on from his straightforward and earnest personality. He lowered his eyelids and thought for a few seconds, then sighed and said with some melancholy, "You can't just define a good person or a bad person so easily."

Tsurumi Kawakuri: "?"

Mori Ougai shook his head, looked away from him, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I know what Ryu is thinking."

Thunder rumbled, and the torrential rain poured down all night, only stopping early the next morning. The sweltering heat that had enveloped Yokohama was completely washed away, and the morning air was filled with damp moisture and the scent of grass and trees.

White clouds floated in the azure sky, and the clear, sunny weather lifted everyone's spirits.

But this good mood didn't last long; the old leader of the Port Mafia fell seriously ill once again. The dark clouds that brought yesterday's torrential rain seemed to be looming over the five black buildings of the Port Mafia once more.

The news of his need for medical treatment was released, and Mori Ougai's information, as a well-known quack doctor in Leibo Street, was put into a file bag and sent to the port Mafia leader.
