Chapter 84: Dead Tree Revives in Spring 03
"Bang——"
The time bomb exploded before they could escape the police station.
The biggest difference between Mori Ogai and the previous leaders is probably that even though he has taken the position of leader, he always maintains the sharpness and decisiveness of a warrior. Therefore, he immediately ordered the superpower "Alice" to lead him to retreat, and when he realized that it was too late to escape, he let the superpower block in front of him to minimize the damage.
But the expected pain did not occur.
Countless green dots of light dancing like fireflies surrounded everyone in the police station. Then the dots of light converged and merged into a circular translucent barrier, keeping the flames, smoke, and falling bricks out.
Sen Ouwai thought this move was very familiar. He had seen Nashida use it through Alice's eyes. The girl used the same light spots to form vines and knocked the gangster unconscious.
but……
Mori Ouwai looked down at the still unconscious Nashida. Her long silver-white hair fell softly on the girl's cheeks, rising and falling with her breathing. Her watery eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes did not move.
Sen Ou is an expert in medicine. He has been practicing medicine for many years and has his own set of criteria for judging whether a patient is truly unconscious or faking an illness. He can be sure that Nashida is not pretending to be asleep.
Since it wasn't her, then it was her supernatural creation that did it.
Supernatural beings are not uncommon, but it is quite rare for a supernatural being to be able to act independently after its master loses consciousness. Nashida's supernatural power is similar to his, but it is more flexible and more versatile than his.
Many people covet similar abilities, and Yega Masamichi of the Jujutsu High School became famous for this.
Most people think: One person can do the work of two people. Is there anything better than this? No.
Mori Owl is no exception.
The Mafia leader is ready to polish his diamond.
Before Sen Ou could ask Lansaka in detail, a burly black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the ruins, cut through Lansaka's protective shield at lightning speed, and entangled Alice.
"Wait, stop!" Mori Ogai reacted immediately and realized that this was Ryunosuke Akutagawa's special ability.
——His special ability [Rashomon] can transform his coat into an extremely aggressive black beast. The black beast can cut everything including space, and naturally it can also cut through Lanzaka's protective shield.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke wanted to use his supernatural powers to rescue the leader, but after being stopped by Mori Ogai, the black beast stopped stiffly in mid-air and did not take the next step.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
The black beast wrapped around Alice's waist and hung her in the air; Alice grabbed Sen Ouwai's collar and lifted him up; Sen Ouwai held Nashida with his arms, trying to prevent her from falling; Lansaka held Nashida's ankles, and her two short legs kicked in the air.
It looks like a long string of lanterns swaying in the wind.
Lanzaca fluttered around for a while, and suddenly remembered that he could fly, so he turned his leaves and flew up. The view in the air was wider, and Lanzaca turned around and saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke with a fierce look on his face.
Lanzaca: “…”
Lansaka: "Ah! Badnara! Badnara is here again, wuwuwu..."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke glared at Lanzaka fiercely, but without orders, he did not dare to act on his own.
Lanzaca trembled and hid behind Senouwai, whispering: "You can't see me, you can't see me..."
In the corner, the police officer who was paralyzed by the attack finally came to his senses, pointed his gun at Ryunosuke Akutagawa who had returned, and shouted, "Calm down! Ask for anything you want, but don't hurt the hostages!"
Ryunosuke Akutagawa: "...hostage?"
Mori Ogai: "...hostages..."
It really does make sense for Mafia members to support their leader.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't want to waste time talking to them, so he uttered three words through his teeth: "Kill them all?"
He wanted to ask Mori Ogai whether he wanted to kill all the police officers on the scene to eliminate the evidence that was unfavorable to the Mafia. Unfortunately, his expression was too terrifying and his tone was too serious, so he turned the question into a statement, so the sentence became - he wanted to kill all the hostages including Mori Ogai.
Police: "Don't be impulsive! You are still young and have a bright future. Don't let impulse ruin you! Think about your loved ones!"
His relatives are also Mafia members, and have killed more than one policeman, Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought coldly.
He felt a headache. Because the police here hadn't finished their nagging yet, the strange plant over there started a verbal attack again. It was so scared that its hands were shaking, but when it found out that it was the most powerful creature in this group of people, it still stood up: "Bad, bad Nala, I won't let you hurt everyone!"
Akutagawa Ryunosuke ignored Lanzaka.
Mori Ogai shook his head slightly, suggesting that he should leave first and not worry about them. After receiving the order, Akutagawa Ryunosuke put away his supernatural power and quickly left the scene.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. One of the policemen wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back and forth between Sen Ou Wai and Alice. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Sen Ou Wai: "Are you also a psychic? It's thanks to you that you got the shield out just now, otherwise we would have been blown to death."
Mori Oo did not change his expression and admitted the misunderstanding: "It's as it should be. As a citizen of Yokohama, it is my honor to cooperate with the police."
Sure enough, ordinary people can't see Lanzaca.
This feature makes Nashida's ability even more special.
Mori Ogai was puzzled. The police could see those green spots, which meant she was not a sorcerer; and she could not see Lanzaka, which meant she was not a supernatural person. This power that was neither supernatural nor sorcery reminded him of a boy, Wendy.
Could she be the new god that Chuuya mentioned, the one that's about to come?
This is really... a treasure.
Now, with a very weak and helpless god lying in his arms, this was by all accounts the best opportunity to gain favor.
Luck finally favored the Port Mafia.
Mori Owl raised the corner of his mouth.
He sneaked out of the police station while the police were cleaning up the mess.
"Terrorist attacks" are one of Yokohama's characteristics, and the citizens have already formed a mature evacuation system for this. At this moment, the streets were unusually quiet, and there were no curious people watching the excitement, which made his departure particularly smooth.
——If he hadn’t met Dazai Osamu.
"Wow, isn't this Mr. Mori? What are you going to do?" Dazai Osamu put his hands in his pockets and looked at the unconscious girl in his arms. "Let me make it clear in advance that kidnapping a young girl is a crime."
The phrase "stay away from danger" has never been associated with Dazai Osamu, so after hearing the explosion, he rushed to the scene and finally bumped into the hurried Mori Ougai.
Dazai Osamu was quick to notice something was wrong.
Mori Ogai came from the place where the explosion occurred. As the leader of the Mafia, he did not need to do such a trivial thing, and his subordinates would not attack the place where the leader was. Could it be that the bomber was someone else and Mori Ogai just happened to pass by? It is not impossible, but if the premise of "the unconscious girl" is added, the coincidence theory is somewhat untenable.
He had never seen this girl in the Port Mafia. Was she a new member? Or was she not related to the Mafia at all?
Judging from the fact that his body tensed unnaturally the moment Moriou saw him from outside, he was inclined towards the second possibility.
In this way, the truth came to light.
——Mori Ougai used drugs or external force to make the girl unconscious and prepared to take her back to the port Mafia.
The reason is probably that the girl has special abilities, and the little thing Alice is locking in her arms is probably the girl's ability.
How special must the situation be for Mori Ouwai to take action personally?
Dazai Osamu was curious but also felt it was difficult.
Mori Ougai's physical skills are superior to his, and he can leave here even without the help of supernatural powers... What a bad luck, I should have called Nakajima Atsushi over earlier.
Mori Ogai also noticed the difference in combat power and said with a smile: "Dazai-kun is still so fond of joking. I am a doctor who abides by the rules and laws. Little Alice, don't you agree?"
Alice was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Mori Ouwai: "Little Lanzaca, what do you think?"
Lansaka was shocked. He felt that both of them were weird, but in comparison, he still chose Sen Guai, who had shared weal and woe with him.
Lanzaca: “It seems so.”
Dazai Osamu: “As if?”
Mori Owl: "..."
The scalpel drew a bright arc, and Alice also took a defensive posture. Mori Gu looked at the expressionless Dazai Osamu and said as he walked: "If you are really curious, why don't you return to the Port Mafia? Then, I will definitely share the secrets with you."
"It seems this girl is very important to you."
"Yeah, it might become an unexpected trump card."
The forest gull gradually walked away.
Dazai turned around, stared at the Mafia building at the port, and thought: Maybe he should plan an infiltration.
*
Port Mafia building, leader's office.
Xingye Wang woke up slowly, and it felt like a heavy object was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He pulled it open and found it was Lanzaca.
"Lord Nashida! You finally woke up!" Lansaka said happily, "Doctor, you are so amazing!"
...The person I saw before I passed out was really a doctor... It looks like I was saved by him, so I should thank him first.
Hoshino Wang took a deep breath and was about to say thank you, but he was stunned the moment he turned his head.
Why is it Mori Owl?!
Why is he in the chief's office again? !
