Chapter 147 Entering the Fog Area

Mori Ogai didn't want to talk nonsense with Ace and then go off topic. He was too lazy to give any hints, so he gave the answer directly: "You still remember Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, right?"

"Ah! It's the guy who can separate the special abilities of people with special abilities!" Ace just remembered.

[Yes, it's him. So Ace-kun, what do you think now? ]

Ace wondered: "What idea? Isn't he dead?"

Mori Ogai: [……]

[All the people with special abilities died from their own special abilities! The effect of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special ability! Don't you think there is any connection?!] Mori Ogai, who was not very impatient, asked fiercely.

"But he's dead. Chuuya even broke his neck. Didn't you see that?" Ace was as stubborn as that student who got the question wrong but insisted that he was right.

Mori Ouwai took a deep breath, then sighed: [Ace, let me ask you, does the devil really have the ability to bring people back to life?]

Ace was stunned for a moment, "It seems... yes?"

[Then how can you be sure that you don't have such a special ability? ] Sen Ou said in a gentle and earnest manner.

“…Yes.”

[In short, if Shibuzawa Ryuhiko really has returned, we must make arrangements in advance to minimize the losses. ]

Ace understood. He specifically told him about the deployment, which meant that he had to cooperate with him. Otherwise, Moriogai would just deploy it on his own and would not even inform him.

He already understood the process, so he asked directly: "How do you want me to cooperate?"

[There is no benefit to be gained this time, we just need to do our best to protect ourselves. ]

As for the rest, there are always people who want to solve this problem more than him, such as the Armed Detective Agency and the Special Powers Special Agents Department.

[If necessary, I'll have to trouble you to take action.]

The existence of Ace is a bug in Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko's special ability "Tatsuhiko's Room". Within the range of "Tatsuhiko's Room", Moriogai is born with one more cheat than other special ability users.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the perpetrator of this incident was not Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, but another psychic with similar abilities. However, no matter what the situation, Ace's existence can be regarded as his cheat.

The only thing to note is that Ace's situation was exposed during the Dragon War, and this time the unknown enemy may design him based on this situation.

…

Soon, Mori Ogai obtained more definite evidence that could prove that it was indeed Shibuzawa Ryuhiko who came this time - in a new case of a superpower user committing suicide, an abnormally thick fog had appeared in the area where the deceased died.

The location of this incident is already in Yokohama City, not far from the city center.

The range of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural power is limited by height and width. When on the ground, the fog area will move with Shibuzawa Ryuhiko himself. Above a certain height, he will not be affected by the fog area. If Shibuzawa Ryuhiko pursues height, his movement range and supernatural power will be drastically reduced, and basically fixed in one place.

As long as there is nothing wrong with Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's brain, he will not put himself in the second situation.

Mori Ogai immediately asked all the people with special abilities in the organization who were not on business trips to stay in the unit for a period of time and not go home. Even the office temporarily cleared out all the high floors of the five buildings and turned them into temporary offices.

Nakahara Chuuya has been in the office for two days. In order to preserve their strength to the greatest extent and avoid any setbacks, the activities of these people with special abilities are restricted to the top few floors. He is relatively lucky, after all, with his special ability, he can fly everywhere every day, while others can only walk back and forth on the top few floors of the building.

——Even three meals a day, a team of people was specially organized to deliver them.

Quan Jinghua was directly arranged to live on the floor where Yumeno Hisasaku lived.

The number of people on his floor cannot be too large, otherwise something might happen, so no changes were made to this floor.

But there is an exception - Mori Ougai himself is not subject to this temporary rule.

After all, his special ability was confirmed, and Alice would become an enemy, but Ace was still on his side.

However, this restriction did not last long. After a few days, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special abilities broke out on a large scale.

Mori Owl climbed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down at the entire city. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Something is wrong."

Ace, who was squatting next to him and looking down, looked up at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"The fog area is a bit too large."

Mori Ogai remembered that none of the fog areas created by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko six years ago were as large as this one, and the fog area is still slowly expanding, which is very abnormal. Either Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability has become stronger in the past six years, or he has increased it through some special means.

Ace didn't quite understand. It didn't matter to him whether the fog area grew bigger or not. As for the enemies, he would just defeat them all in the end.

Mori Ogai thought about it and called Nakahara Chuuya: "Chuuya, go to the Special Ability Division and ask them what they have to say."

He remembered that their intelligence system discovered a few days ago that someone from the Special Powers Division had contact with Dazai Osamu, and Dazai Osamu disappeared not long after. Perhaps someone from the Special Powers Division would know something.

[Yes, Chief Mori.]

After finishing the call, Mori Ogai started walking downstairs, "Ace-kun, let's go find Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's location."

Ace immediately stood up and followed, eager to say, "Okay."

The fog area of ​​Shibuzawa Ryuhiko is released with him as the center. The deeper the fog area is, the more likely it is to find Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

Mori Ogai stepped into the fog without hesitation. As he expected, as soon as he entered the fog, Alice appeared as an enemy in the form of a mutant with a red crystal on her forehead.

Now it can be confirmed that this is indeed Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special ability.

Ace easily dealt with the mutant, and continued to move forward with Mori Ougai.

Most of the people with special abilities in Yokohama are either in the Port Mafia or in the Special Ability Service Department. The Special Ability Service Department has directly established defense measures specifically for the fog area, and the Port Mafia has also made deployment arrangements in advance, so that the people with special abilities in the fog area have become extremely scarce. After walking for a long time, I didn't see a single person in the fog area.

"If we go that way, that's where the Armed Detective Agency is located... Do you want to go take a look? I remember that you are friends with many people in the Detective Agency?"

Ace glanced in that direction and asked, "Won't this route be a detour?"

"Actually, they are all the same." Mori Ou looked into the distance, "Maybe I know where Shibuzawa Ryuhiko is."

Ace looked in the direction he was looking, and saw only a thick fog. He asked curiously, "What did you see?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Ace followed him in confusion.

When they were still some distance away from the Armed Detective Agency, they finally heard the sound of human activity. Ace immediately ran over.

The woman in front was hit in the abdomen by a punch from the alien, and was hit with such excessive force that she flew backwards with her toes almost off the ground.

Ace simply grabbed the opponent's waist to prevent her from hitting the wall. Before he could see the opponent's face clearly, he punched the mutant who rushed over again and knocked it out with one punch. Then he turned his head to look at the person he saved.

"Akira?"

Yoseno Akiko, who was hit in the stomach, coughed up a few mouthfuls of acid. When she saw it was Ace, she frowned and turned her head sharply. As expected, she saw the person she didn't want to see.

“Tsk.”

Mori Ogai didn't feel like he was being disliked at all, and greeted her nonchalantly, "Hey, Akiko, nice to see you again."

Yoseno Akiko stood up with an expressionless face and spit at him rudely: "Who wants to meet you? You are so unlucky!"

Mori Ogai pretended to be sad and sighed, "Well, no matter what, I still hope that Akiko can come to me again."

Yoseno Akiko rolled her eyes and said, "Ugh——"

During the few words they exchanged, Ace had already quickly resolved the issue with Akiko Yoshino's psychic and returned.

"We are going to look for Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, will you join us?" Ace invited.

If Ace was alone, Yoseno Akiko would of course be happy, but now that there is Mori Owl with him, Yoseno Akiko is very unhappy.

She refused, "No, you guys go by yourselves, I still have to go find my colleagues."

Ace, who values ​​his companions very much and is willing to extend his love to others, said: "Oh, then go for it."

Mori Owl: "..."

You don't even try to fight for it!? Although he also knows that Jingzi can't act with them when he is around, but you don't even try to fight for it...

Sen Ou had another heart attack.

The two parties parted ways.

The location of the Port Mafia was close to the harbor. Mori Ouwai and Ace walked through the thick fog to the cross-sea bridge, where they stopped in confusion.

"If this direction is the direction of the street, right? Is there anything that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko is interested in on the street?"

"Maybe it's just that place is hard to detect." Ace is very sensitive when it comes to combat.

Except for places related to the government, it is difficult for them to take action in the entire Yokohama. Other places are basically under the surveillance of the port mafia. The only difference is the sparseness and density.

Japan has a very low surveillance coverage rate due to its excessive emphasis on privacy, but the port mafia is not a law-abiding person, so they naturally install surveillance wherever they can in their territory. Once Shibuzawa Ryuhiko sets foot in Yokohama, the probability of being discovered in a short time is very high.

But there is one exception, and that is Labo Street.

Even if the Port Mafia reaches into the area, it is difficult to get out. Everyone in Yokohama City gives face to the Port Mafia, but in the area of ​​​​Raibo Street, at most they are wary of it. As for giving face to you to monitor something... what do you want to do? Isn't it clear from the attitude of the people inside that they will kill if they are told to kill the Port Mafia?

Mori Ogai thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ace, "Can you use your flame?"

Ace tried it, and a small flame sprang up from his fingertips.

“It works.”

Sen Ouwai immediately relaxed a little, "Then let's go and take a look."
