Chapter 2 You Are Not Poisoned

Ace behaved very politely when he left, so no one expected that he would be a freeloader, not even the store clerk or Mori Ougai himself who had been watching from the dark!

Yes, Mori Ogai had not responded to Ace before, not because he could not hear Ace's voice, but because of the abnormal incident of his body being controlled by other people, which made this old sinister extremely cautious. He had been secretly observing who occupied his body. Even if Ace showed goodwill to him, he did not give in easily.

But now, after a brief silence, he couldn't help but say: [Sir! I have money in my trouser pocket! ]

If we don't stop him and let him keep running like this, everyone in Yokohama will know tomorrow that the new leader of the port mafia actually ate and ran away!

Embarrassment is secondary, his face is likely to be exposed to everyone! Yokohama is not stable now, if everyone recognizes his face, then the level of assassinations he will suffer in the future will also increase!

"Ah? What?" Ace thought the voice sounded familiar, but he didn't remember why it sounded familiar until he asked him. He kept running, but asked, "Mr. Ouwai?"

The voice outside Mori Ou was full of fatigue: [Stop, go pay——]

When he saw the other person's outfit that was a bit explosive before going out, he wanted to say something, but he held back at that time because it was unnecessary. But now only an hour has passed, and he has to say it out.

Why on earth is this person such a person?

However, Ace had already climbed over several walls and escaped the people chasing him in the hotel.

He reached into his pocket and suddenly realized, "Oh, so I brought money."

Mori Ogai: [……]

Sen Ouwai felt heavy in his heart, as if his life had suddenly gone off track and was heading in an uncontrollable direction.

He calmed down for a moment and asked, "Sir, what should I call you?"

"Ah, my name is Ace, Portgas D. Ace. Perhaps you have heard of my name?"

The name sounds like a foreigner, but he speaks fluent Japanese, and he must have lived in Japan for a long time. He seems to be unable to read Japanese, perhaps because his past living environment was chaotic and he did not have a learning environment. The other party thinks that he may have heard of his name, which means that he has a certain reputation, if not in terms of knowledge, then in terms of martial arts. Judging from his performance during this period, he is obviously not a brainpower type. The tone of his speech and the way he behaves are obviously that of a young person.

Having lived in Japan for a long time, the living environment there is quite chaotic and there is no learning environment. He has a certain reputation in non-academic aspects, but he has never heard of him. He is a militant person and young... Could he be the psychic from Raibo Street?

Although he had a guess in his mind, Mori Ougai didn't say it out loud.

He didn't say whether he had heard of Ace's name or not, he just said: [Um... Ace, I have a question for you.]

Ace was in a good mood after having just finished a meal. He jumped down from the wall and asked casually, "What?"

[That is, since you are going out to eat, why don’t you make sure you have money with you? ]

Ordinary people would definitely feel embarrassed when hearing this question, but not Ace. He was not embarrassed at all, and smiled calmly and touched the back of his head: "Ah, this, I don't have the habit of carrying money."

Sen Ou felt a bit like having a heart attack: [If you feel that money is inconvenient, you can also choose to bring a card. 】

He doesn't want this guy to eat and free meals every time he comes out, otherwise his reputation in Sen Ou will be ruined!

After thinking about this, Sen Ou Wai suddenly realized that something was wrong. Shouldn't he be thinking about how to get rid of this guy who controlled his body?

However, just as his thoughts were getting back on track, he heard Ace, who was walking back to the Hong Kong Black Building, ask, "What card?"

Mori Ougai: […Bank card.]

Yes, this guy comes from the resource-scarce Leibo Street, so it is normal that he has never used it or even seen it.

He didn't wait for Ace to ask a new question, and asked: "Ace, can you try to talk to me in your heart? If you always speak out loud, it will appear suspicious. The environment I am in now is not safe, I hope Ace will not cause me trouble. 】

[…I see.] Ace touched his chin and asked tentatively, [Can you hear what I say now?]

[…Yes, I can hear it.]

As he was walking, Ace suddenly squatted down, holding his stomach, his face twisted in pain.

[Ace-kun? What’s wrong with you? ]

[I don't know, my stomach suddenly hurts——]

Mori Ogai speculated suspiciously: [Is there something wrong with the store just now? But many stores around here are owned by the Port Mafia... Could it be that someone in the organization wants to harm me? Ah, Ace, can you leave now? My previous clinic is also nearby. There is an antidote there that should be able to temporarily relieve the poison in your body.]

Although Mori Ougai wanted to get rid of this inexplicable person, this body was his own, and if he was poisoned to death, he would also die.

Ace stood up and said, "Please point me in a direction."

【good.】

Ace walked for a while in the direction pointed by Mori Ou Wai, and when he was almost there, he suddenly started to vomit again while holding onto the wall. Mori Ou Wai immediately asked: "Did you bring your cell phone?"

Mori Ogai had no intention of letting him contact anyone, so he had never asked this question before. Because with the current situation of the Port Mafia, he couldn't trust anyone, even Dazai Osamu, who he brought with him and acted as a false witness for him.

【mobile phone?】

However, Ace's confused voice made Moriogai feel uneasy. "You don't even know what a cell phone is, do you?"

Is the Red Bull Street that backward? Although not everyone has a mobile phone, there are always some people who do, and there should be many people who can afford to buy second-hand or third-hand mobile phones that are behind the times, right?

However, Ace was so innocent that he didn't hear the hidden temptation behind Moriou's question. He asked honestly: [What is a cell phone?]

[It's a communication tool.] Sen Ouwai explained hastily, and then said: [Walk slowly, boil some water when you get to the clinic, and then lie down and rest.]

[Ah? No need to take the antidote? ]

If Mori Ogai himself was controlling his body, his mouth would definitely twitch violently. He thought about the exciting pursuit between Ace and the hotel staff before, sighed and said: "Ace, you are not poisoned, you just ate too much and exercised vigorously, so your stomach is cramping."

Ace sighed in disgust and said, "Your health is so bad! I used to eat more than ten times this! No wonder you look so skinny!"

Mori Ougai: […? ]

I am thin and weak. Have you heard people say that?

If he is so thin, then that brat Dazai Osamu must be seriously ill! ?

And it's ten times the amount, do you still have a normal human stomach?!

Ace slowly walked to the clinic outside Senou, looked at the gray clinic that looked like an unlicensed small clinic, grabbed the door handle and wanted to push the door open, while complaining: "Your clinic looks so shabby, aren't you the leader?"

Mori Ouwai has calmed down again, [Let me explain, this is my former clinic, I used to be an underground black doctor.] So it is understandable that it is a bit shabby, [Also, the spare key is under the window sill, I think you can use the key to open the door, what do you think, Ace?]

This Mr. Ace's train of thought is a little different. Moriogai is really a little afraid that he won't be able to find the key and break into the house directly.

He just took office as the leader today. He has not yet taken control of many forces, teams, capital chains, industries, smuggling lines, etc. in the organization, and the funds are tight. Moreover, there are still many people staring at him to find mistakes and want to bring him down. In addition, the "bloody tyranny" of the previous leader some time ago, all aspects need money.

He was already prepared to lose money in the initial period, but if some unnecessary expenses were added during this period, Sen Ou would feel very disappointed, and he would also doubt whether he would not have enough money in the following period.

Ace fumbled around under the window sill next to the door for a while, found the key and opened the door. He boiled water according to Morioda's instructions and then lay down on the bed.

"Gull..."

[Don't make any noise.] Ace had just started talking when Moriowa interrupted him.

Ace asked readily: [Why? ]

[Because we are not sure whether there is a bug in the clinic.] After saying this, he explained to Escobe what a bug is.

Ever since he got involved with the port mafia, that brat Dazai Osamu has started to like playing with eavesdropping devices. They say they are teacher and student, but their relationship is not that good, otherwise he would not have asked Dazai Osamu to testify falsely.

Generally speaking, people who testify falsely will be eliminated by the leader in order to keep the secret. Dazai Osamu was chosen because he always likes to try various methods of suicide. Maybe he will die without any action one day, and there will be no suspicion on him.

[Mr. Ogai, the cell phone you are talking about, is it the one that can be used to make phone calls like the Phone Bug? ]

[…Yes.] The name "Phone Bug" is really clear, but isn't it a bit weird? Why add "bug" after the word "phone"? Do you think it's cute? Tsk, I really don't understand young people nowadays.

But if that's the case, then he has seen landlines but not mobile phones in Raymond Street? However, landlines are usually placed in fixed locations. Raymond Street should be more suitable for mobile phones, except for some forces with fixed territories, right?

Mori Ougai started to have a headache again. Could it be that he was a killer secretly raised and trained by some force?

[Ace-kun, are you from Leibo Street? ] He asked tentatively.

[Laibo Street? I haven’t heard of it. I’m from Donghai.]

East China Sea? So they are from the country across the sea to the west? But that's not right. The name Ace sounds like a Westerner.

Seeing that he had no intention of resisting, Mori Ogai continued to ask: [Ace-kun, are you a person with special abilities? ]
