Chapter 27 Who Are You

The next day, Lan Tang completed the discharge procedures and returned to the Port Mafia Building to take sick leave for Xiang Sen Ou.

Mori Ouwai received him in the office as usual.

"I'm glad to see you're back, Lan Tang-kun."

"Captain Lao is concerned about you."

Lan Tang stood opposite Sen Ou with neither arrogance nor servility, and bowed his head slightly.

The Sen Ougai in front of him was different from the leader who drank with him that night. Instead, he was the same as the leader Sen who gave him orders before that, and the doctor Sen before that.

However, the leader did not show any surprise about this. Either he was unaware of his situation, or he was aware of his situation but did not care about it.

The situation fits... Could it be that the leader has a split personality?

Without waiting for Lan Tang to think more, Sen Ouwai said, "Mr. Lan Tang, since you are back, there are some things I think it is better to tell you. Regarding the incident of the previous leader who appeared in Leibo Street, he appeared again during your hospitalization. After all, you are an eyewitness. I think that you have lost a lot of subordinates because of the incident of the previous leader. Maybe you will be willing to continue to participate in this matter?"

Mori Ouwai's words were rather euphemistic, but his implication was that he was just short of asking Lan Tang directly whether he wanted to avenge his dead subordinates.

Lan Tang pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that this matter has been handed over to Dazai-kun and Black Lizard to investigate."

"That's right. But if you want to join again, it's just a matter of adding one more person. Anyway, there's nothing that needs the officers to do recently." Mori Ogai nodded, "By the way, your fallen subordinates have been buried in the cemetery under the name of the Port Mafia, and the death list has been handed over to the Finance Department, which has calculated the pension for each person. It just so happens that their boss, Lan Tangjun, is now able to carry out activities, so this matter may as well be handed over to you."

"yes."

"Mr. Lan Tang." When Lan Tang was about to leave after receiving the order, Sen Ou called him from outside.

Lan Tang looked back: "Leader?"

Mori Ogai looked at him with deep eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "This time, sending compensation is actually an act of reporting the loss. The families who lost their loved ones will probably be very sad. We should comfort their families."

"I understand, Chief."

"Crack."

The door closed softly.

This time Lan Tang really left.

【Mr. Ouwai? 】

Mori Ogai changed his posture, resting his left hand on his cheekbone and leaning on the desk. Hearing Ace's voice, he casually responded: [Hmm?]

[Nothing, I just feel like... Are you not very happy?] Ace was a little confused. Actually, he didn't mean to use the word unhappy, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, so he had to use this word that was closer.

Mori Owl sighed. Ace was a bit nervous, but he could also be very sensitive at times.

[It’s not that I’m unhappy. … Never mind, it’s nothing.]

He gave her one last chance, and if she didn't take it, then he would have to deal with it.

[By the way, isn't Zhi almost 15 years old? ]

[Ah... Now that's true, his 15th birthday will be in a few days. ]

[As for birthdays, um... I don't know if Zhi likes to have parties, how about taking him to a bar? ]

[Ace, underage drinking is illegal in our country.]

[Eh!? But I started drinking when I was less than ten years old! ]

【……】

…

Mori Ou seemed to have noticed something.

Coming out of the office outside Sen'ou, Lan Tang pressed the elevator button for going downstairs, folded his winter clothes, and hid his face in his scarf with a cold expression.

Amnesia is a lie now. He has had his memory restored for some time.

Lan Tang is not his real name, but Lan Bo.

Arthur Rimbaud, a rare transcendent, is a spy from Europe. Seven years ago, he and his partner Paul Verlaine, who is also a transcendent, came to Yokohama to seize the super-energy life form "Arabato" in the Yokohama military laboratory. However, the mission failed.

At that time, Rimbaud believed that the best way to control Arabato and keep him alive in this world was to give him a strict education and teach him human codes of conduct and values. However, his partner Verlaine held a different view, believing that handing him over to the government for education would only turn him into a useful tool, and that he would live in pain and emptiness for the rest of his life, so Verlaine stabbed him in the back.

The timing of the backstab was very clever, just when he destroyed the protection device of "Arabato" and was about to take "Arabato" away. The experimental source data of "Arabato" came from Weierlaan, who was also a super-energy life form. At this time, it resonated with Weierlaan's superpowers, and finally caused the energy of "Arabato" to explode, causing a huge explosion, forming the current name of the Raibo Street.

He was also seriously injured and lost his memory in the explosion, and was eventually recruited into the Port Mafia by the previous leader.

Perhaps, apart from Verlaine who has returned to Europe, he is the only one in Yokohama who knows the truth about "Arabato".

As a spy, his mission was to bring "Arabato" back to the country, but this mission failed seven years ago and "Arabato" is nowhere to be found. Now, he needs to rely on a fake message of "Arabato" to fish out the real "Arabato".

…It’s just a bit of a pity.

When the real "Arabato" was caught, it was probably when he left the Port Mafia.

Thinking of the night before the execution of the plan, the cup of rum that burned in his stomach, he still remembered the warmth that was almost burning his heart.

We can't wait any longer.

He thought.

If he waits any longer, he might give up the plan.

"bite--"

The elevator door opened automatically, and Randou took the elevator downstairs. On the way, he met Ozaki Koyo's secretary who was about to go upstairs to deliver intelligence information.

"Rantang cadre."

Lan Tang nodded at her, then walked past her and left without saying a word.

Ozaki Kouyo was in charge of the Intelligence Department and the Interrogation Department. As her secretary, she was naturally very proficient in this area. Seeing that Rantang seemed to be the same as usual, she frowned in confusion, "Strange, is it my illusion? I always feel that Rantang's officers seem a little impatient..."

…

Before returning to the office, Lan Tang went to the Finance Department to get the list and pension. As soon as he arrived at the office, he received a call from Dazai Osamu.

【Mr. Lan Tang, good afternoon. 】

"Dazai-kun?"

[Mr. Mori wants the Sheep King of Leibo Street to investigate the matter of the previous leader with me, but as you know, the Sheep King is really hard to deal with, so I used a little trick. Next, I need Mr. Lantang to cooperate with me. ]

Lan Tang glanced at the list in his hand, then put it down and asked calmly, "What did you do?"

[Nothing much, just caught a few wine thieves in warehouse No. 16, and they happened to be organized by the sheep.]

Lan Tang understood and said, "Bait."

[That's right.] Dazai Osamu admitted frankly, [Mr. Randou's ability is most suitable for capturing Nakahara Chuuya, so I will wait for Mr. Randou here in Warehouse No. 16, but you must come before the Sheep King comes, otherwise I might be killed by him. Although I look forward to death, I don't want to die at the hands of that dwarf——]

"knew."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Tang slowly read out Nakahara Chuuya's name, and looked out the office window again. The sparkling Yokohama Bay came into his sight.

The direction of the land is prone to being attacked from the outside, especially for high-level people, so the windows of the buildings of the Port Mafia are basically facing the sea. Although it cannot completely eliminate all kinds of assassinations, it can eliminate a large part of the possible locations and methods of assassination.

Nakahara Chuuya, a user of the gravity power.

In the current situation where he has no clue about "Arabato", it is hard for him not to suspect that Nakahara Naka, who has the ability to manipulate gravity, is the "Arabato" of that year. Because Paul's ability is gravity manipulation, and the source of information about "Arabato" comes from Paul.

Maybe it's a good opportunity.

…

Around 5:30 in the afternoon, Randou and Dazai Osamu brought Nakahara Chuuya to the outside of Moriou.

Lan Tang's spatial ability completely controlled Zhongyuan Chuuya.

"Mr. Mori, I brought the person back."

Mori Ogai smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Nakahara Chuuya, who had been looking at him with a complicated expression, suddenly changed his expression and frowned deeply after hearing his words.

"Hey, you..."

Sen Ou listened attentively, but didn't hear the second half of his sentence, so he asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Nakahara Chuuya's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "Who are you?"

Dazai Osamu looked at him amusemently, and Randou also glanced at him quickly.

Mori Ou showed a surprised look. He looked at Nakahara Chuuya and said curiously, "I thought you would question why I lied to you."

According to common sense, the most suspicious thing is, isn't it that I deceived him by pretending to be a thick-skinned and honest adult, and then approached and used him?

Nakahara Chuuya's expression did not change, he still looked at him coldly: "Where is he?"

Mori Ogai originally wanted to take the opportunity to tell him that it was his other personality, but after seeing Nakahara Chuuya's reaction, he had a new idea.

"Well, you want to see him?"

After hearing this, Nakahara Chuuya's original guess was immediately confirmed. He stared at Mori Ougai and asked, "Did you attack him?"

The two people have very different personalities. Zhongyuan Zhong is not good at accepting the kindness of others, so he is more sensitive to the kindness of others. He has been with Ace and received his kindness, so he is willing to believe him.

Ace gave him a frank and warm feeling, but Morio was completely different. When his eyes fell on him, Nakahara Chuuya even had a conditioned feeling of being calculated and cold, which made his hair stand on end.

Nakahara Chuuya may not be smart enough, but he is not someone who is easily deceived. He was deceived because he values ​​feelings and is more willing to believe. Mori Ogai is not one of them.

The same face would only make Nakahara Chuuya conspire against him. For example, did this guy steal the identity of the "Mori Ogai" he knew, and the two people who arrested him were also bribed by this guy.

If this is the case, then the real "Forest Owl Outer" is in a very dangerous situation!

Seeing his big reaction, Mori Ogai didn't say whether he had done it or not, but said, "If you want to see him, it's not impossible. As long as you cooperate with Dazai-kun and investigate the matter that Dazai-kun agreed to with you before, I will let you see him. Of course, I will also release your sheep companions."

"Chuye-kun, what do you think?"
