Chapter 78 Bad News

“Boom boom boom—”

The continuous explosions brought up a large amount of rubble, and the roof of the collapsed five-story office building fell down at an angle.

There was another series of explosions, and the fallen broken roof suddenly turned into even finer rubble.

Adam still raised his right arm that had transformed into a machine gun, looking at the innocent people he had protected who were caught up in the dispute and had no time to escape, "Are you okay?"

The man he was protecting was so frightened by the close-range explosion and the shadow of death that he could not speak. He opened and closed his mouth for a while, but without even saying thank you, he just ran away crawling away.

The people who rushed out of the explosion whistled when they saw him, "You are here too, Mr. Detective."

"Mr. Albatross." Adam responded, looking at him calmly, "You guys are making such a big noise."

"Ha, there's nothing we can do. Everyone is like this now." Albatross laughed casually, then turned around and shouted, "Sai! Blow it up cleanly, don't let those guys think we are easy to mess with! I'm going to the other side to pick them up first--"

"knew!"

The motorcycle he was riding roared and took him away from the scene.

Behind him, peach-colored petals fell onto the badly damaged building, followed by another series of explosions.

…

"Ms. Karen, the positioning has been stuck for ten minutes. Shall we go in?"

"Wait a minute." Karen stood at the corner of the street and looked at the building with broken glass on the first floor lobby window in front of her. She dialed the earphone on her ear, but found no response after a while. She frowned. She turned around and ordered, "You guys stay outside to meet the call. I'll go in and take a look. If there is any problem here, you can contact Mr. Dazai directly."

"yes!"

Karen walked into the building very lightly. The lobby on the first floor was already in a mess, with charred corpses lying in a mess, and faces barely showing signs of panic and distortion before death.

The ceiling light in the lobby was smashed to the ground, glass shards were everywhere, and the floor was also broken and turned upside down.

Karen pulled the sound part of the headset out of her earphones and listened carefully. She heard a thunderous sound coming from somewhere.

...underground?

She looked around, found the stairs leading down, and walked down immediately.

There are already quite a few charred corpses in this underground area, but the number of people is much less than upstairs. However, the situation is much worse than upstairs.

The electrical facilities in the corridor had been completely destroyed, and Karen could only use the flashlight of her mobile phone for lighting. From the floor to the ceiling, everything was charred black, just like the scene after a fire.

She did not move along the entire corridor, but instead used icicles to knock down all the walls that blocked her way and forced herself to walk in a straight line.

The deeper you go, the louder the thunder becomes, especially in the underground environment, where the sound is clearer, resonating in your ears like an ambient sound.

Following the direction of the location, Karen finally found Yumeno Hisasaku who was unconscious in the corner. Yumeno Hisasaku's body was also covered with black ash, but fortunately, he was still alive.

"Come down, follow the path I've cleared, and take the child I've enclosed in ice back to Mr. Dazai."

【yes.】

Karen didn't say which path she opened. She used icicles to directly hit the path, and the traces left were very obvious and could be recognized at a glance. But she didn't directly say the identity of Yumeno Hisasaku, or even she didn't know it very well. Dazai Osamu's instructions to her were to cooperate with the child's actions and wait until he messed up the enemy camp before finishing it off.

Although she questioned it at the time, Dazai Osamu just told her: "Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't know."

Karen knew that the existence of this child was probably a secret inside.

However, based on what she had just seen, she could guess that this child was either a hallucinogenic or psychic.

The intelligence they received stated that there was a user with lightning abilities among the enemies, but the dead on the two floors above were all their own people, and it was obvious that they died from being struck by lightning. From this, they could easily deduce that the user with lightning abilities was either being controlled or had gone mad.

Karen walked in the direction of the loudest thunder and soon saw the psychic who was still going crazy.

The whole room was filled with chaotic electric currents. The man in the middle of the room leaned back slightly, his face showing both crying and laughing, full of evil. His palms were facing upwards, and the electric currents in the room were bursting out from there.

Kalin didn't wait for him to notice her, and took advantage of his weakness to kill him. The ice spear pierced through the chaotic electric current and penetrated his chest.

"... Phew, mission accomplished."

…

"Captain, the second-in-command of the Kuroda Group killed the leader of the Kuroda Group and surrendered to us this morning."

"Boss, we have found the organization that attacked Warehouse No. 9. Zhongyuan has already led his men to start the battle."

"There has been new progress in the interrogation room. The 500 billion inheritance has been dispersed in the form of gold and gems. Most of it is suspected to be in the hands of an organization called the Motoze Society. Officer Ozaki has already sent people to investigate."

"The GSS headquarters was breached, and the lightning user was killed by Miss Karen, but the leader escaped."

"Boss! A group of people led by Mr. Guangjin and the Kadota Group were detained by the military police! This time, only two of our teams managed to avoid the military police and come back to report the news..."

"Boss! The Takase Society attacked Port No. 3!"

“…”

As time went by, the situation in Yokohama became more and more tense, and reports from various departments were submitted in large numbers, many of which were matters that needed to be dealt with urgently. Mori Ougai had to ask Ace to represent him, and Ace also had to write many documents. Otherwise, Mori Ougai, who was online every two days, would not be able to handle it all by himself.

He wanted to get Dazai Osamu to work with him, but he and Dazai Osamu basically divided the work and cooperated with each other. He grasped the general direction, and Dazai Osamu made targeted plans. He was busy, and Dazai Osamu was also busy. Even if he got Dazai Osamu over, they would do their own things and would have no time to help him.

The endless phone calls finally stopped, but I couldn't relax yet, because there were still some documents that needed approval, and many departments were waiting for new orders from Sen Ou.

Mori Ou sighed: [I'm so busy, I don't even have time to get a dental implant. ]

His follow-up period was actually due three weeks ago, but the situation had just entered a tense period, and he was worried that he would not be able to take care of it if something happened during the dental implant, so he kept putting it off. If an emergency occurred during the dental implant, would he answer the phone in the middle of the implant?

Besides, the gums will definitely need anesthesia, and the patient may even be slurred in speech for a while after the operation. Should he undergo the operation without anesthesia?

His sacrifice was too great!

Ace was also very tired. After all, he was the one who had just issued the order on behalf of Mori Ogai to arrange for people to accept the surrender of the Kuroda Group, he was the one who relocated Yumeno Hisasaku, and he was the one who sent people to redeem the black lizard...

He is obviously a strong attacker! It is also very tiring to restrain himself from participating in suppression and enemy missions!

"Mr. Ouwai, I want to go out and fight..."

Everyone can fight, but he has to stay in the office. This is completely different from when he was a pirate. He feels so depressed.

[Be patient.] Facing this familiar request, Sen Ou's voice was unusually calm.

He had heard this kind of request many times during this period. At first, he was a little panicked, afraid that Ace would really give up and run away to have fun. After all, he had a history of this kind of thing.

However, Ace was much more responsible than he expected. He didn't expect these endless tasks to hold him back at first. Although Ace was using his body, he was always sober. This body was not Ace's, and when people used other people's things and didn't have to take responsibility for the aftermath, they would usually show more recklessness than their original character, not to mention that Ace himself was a more reckless person.

But Ace seemed to know the importance of these things, so he was actually dragged down by these tasks and stayed. He hardly left this office these days, and even Moriogai himself was surprised that Ace could really endure being locked in the room and not go out.

This made Sen Ou quite relieved.

Knowing that Ace was just complaining and would not really run away, Moriogai was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning. After all, flowers were blooming everywhere in Yokohama now, and Ace would complain about this several times a day, sometimes even dozens of times, and he had developed antibodies after hearing it so many times.

However, even the Takase-kai has already taken action against the Port Mafia, which means that it is already the later stages of the war. Once they have taken over the Takase-kai, they can basically establish the Port Mafia's leadership position among the various organizations in Yokohama and complete this strategic goal. After the aftermath is completed, the remaining organizations can be slowly cleaned up.

When it comes to the aftermath stage, we can let Ace go out and have some fun.

Of course, the most important thing now is to swallow Takasekai. Mori Owl must get this piece!

Just when Mori Ogai was thinking about how to dismantle the Takase Society at the lowest cost, a piece of bad news came -

"Chief! The colonel's officers suddenly can't be contacted!"

"What?" The voices of Ace and Sen Ouwai overlapped at this moment.

"Where are his men? Can't contact them either?" Ace asked with a frown.

"Can't get in touch!" The one who rushed back to report was the colonel's deputy. In the most recent operation, he was acting separately from the colonel as part of the support team, so this situation occurred.

"Junior Dazai has gone to investigate the matter. He asked me to come back and report first—" He was breathing heavily while reporting, and it was obvious that he had rushed straight to the leader as fast as he could to report.

Hearing that Dazai Osamu had gone to investigate, Mori Ogai felt a little relieved. "Ask him which psychics he can still contact now."

Those with great destructive power were basically assigned to the assault team, and there were also a few auxiliary ones. What he was worried about now was that if these people with special abilities lost contact, then his assault team would be completely useless!

The reporter showed a look of shame and read out: "... Makino, Iwaoka, Red Rose, and Hunter."

After hearing this, Sen Ouwai's eyes went dark.

The assault team consisted of thirteen psychics, including the colonel himself and Chuuya Nakahara, but nine of them have lost contact, and the remaining four are all support-type psychics... His assault team is destroyed!

"Where was they last seen before they lost contact? Have you sent anyone to search?" Ace asked.

"In District 26, we sent two teams to search, but... they both lost contact." At this point he suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, the two teams that were sent out later said they saw a lot of fog before they lost contact!"
