Chapter 92: Dead Tree Revived 11

Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt complicated after learning the truth.

Nashida's power, which could silently make everyone hallucinate, was far beyond his previous cognition, making him feel ashamed of his previous contempt.

He finally understood why the leader valued her so much. With such ability, if he prepared for a sneak attack in advance, he might even be able to capture the port Mafia in one fell swoop.

But it was precisely because of her strength that the fact that she was taken away by Mr. Dazai seemed particularly suspicious.

The leader said before that she was taken there. Although Mr. Dazai was very smart, how could the capture be so smooth in the face of absolute strength? As long as Nashida resisted a little, he didn't believe that she couldn't escape.

"Chief, please forgive me for being so abrupt," Akutagawa Ryunosuke said after a moment's hesitation, "I think there is something fishy about Nashida's arrest."

Mori Ou's eyes twitched, and he did not answer immediately. He seemed to be thinking about how to make Akutagawa Ryunosuke give up this issue.

In the cold air, Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared at Nashida: "Explain."

Mori Ogai interrupted, "Akutagawa, be careful with your words. Unfounded suspicions can hurt people's hearts."

The implication is that he should not speak nonsense without evidence and should not be so aggressive.

"Chief..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke felt that the chief was too protective of Narcida. He even suspected that Narcida had cast some kind of illusion on Mori Ougai, causing the chief to turn a blind eye to such an obvious doubt.

Doesn't the leader know how big a threat this is to the port Mafia? Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned and made a decision.

Since the leader is confused and Mr. Chuuya is silent, he has no choice but to play the role of "interrogator".

"I'm sorry, Nashida, I'm not targeting you," Akutagawa Ryuyuki said, changing the subject, "but you must give a reasonable explanation today."

Mori Ogai: "Akutagawa-kun..."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa: "Leader..."

"Okay, stop arguing. I'll tell you what to do." Nashida stopped them.

Mori Ougai smiled at her with a hint of apology.

——But I felt so happy inside.

The lure plan was a success! As expected of Akutagawa-kun, who was deeply trusted by him, he was able to successfully complete the leader's mission even though he didn't follow his thinking at all!

In fact, all three people present felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

But if Zhongyuan Chuuya asked this question, it would destroy the favor of the gods that he had worked so hard to obtain; if Mori Ougai asked it personally, it would seem that he did not know what was good for him.

Only Akutagawa Ryunosuke is ignorant and fearless, stubborn and outspoken. Given Narcida's temper, she won't make things too difficult for him.

Simply put, he used Akutagawa Ryunosuke as a gun.

Sen Ouwai hid his smile in his eyes and turned his head, just in time to meet Nashida's gaze.

The Little Grass King looked at him quietly, and after a pause, he smiled, which made Sen Ou feel a chill on his back. He quickly reflected on whether he had made any mistake just now.

He didn't know that his inner thoughts had been completely exposed by the [Mind Reading].

Seeing that she had successfully frightened Mori Owl, Nashida withdrew her gaze and said, "I can assure you that I did not go to the Detective Agency voluntarily."

Her attitude was very serious, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke's cold expression loosened slightly.

Narcida continued, "In fact, I was tripped by a tree branch and hit my head, which is why I was taken away by Dazai Osamu who had planned it in advance while I was unconscious."

Three members of the Port Mafia: “…” Who would believe it?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was furious: "Do you think I'm a fool? Who would believe such a perfunctory reason..."

"This is all because of you."

"…What did you say? What do you mean because of me?"

Nashida lowered her eyes slightly, with hesitation between her brows, as if she was having a hard time opening her mouth. After Akutagawa Ryunosuke repeatedly asked her, she slowly told him the reason: after solving the dead zone, Lanzaka fell into a deep sleep, and she was already weak and could only rely on herself to drag Akutagawa to a safe place, so she fell down due to exhaustion and passed out.

——In fact, the coma was caused by the side effects of the system's failure to identify the patient, so I'll just keep it to myself.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was so shocked that he was speechless.

He never imagined that the root cause of this incident was him - if he had not gotten lost, if he had not underestimated the enemy and lost consciousness... if he had not been so weak, none of this would have happened.

He was dragging his feet again.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke clenched his fists suddenly and stabbed his fingertips into his palms.

He said stiffly, "I understand," and then kept silent, immersed in regret and self-blame.

Mori Ogai really wanted to flip the table, pull him over and ask "What on earth do you understand?" Narcida's words were full of loopholes. Not to mention whether she fainted or not, just talking about Dazai Osamu, if it weren't for Narcida's help, how could Dazai Osamu find her by such a coincidence?

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke's heart knot was touched, and his brain circuit was completely disconnected from the leader. Mori Ougai could only swallow the loss and said with a smile that the misunderstanding was resolved, and the Port Mafia will do its best to assist Zonacita to eliminate the Dead Zone.

"Thank you so much. Shall we leave first?" Nashida said.

Sen Ouwai wished he could open the door himself and invite them out.

Outside the door, Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, and left in a hurry.

"He refuses to admit defeat, so he must have gone to the training ground." Nakahara Chuuya suddenly said.

Nashida nodded. "A hard-working child."

The corridor of the Port Mafia was tall and empty, echoing with the clacking footsteps of the two people. Seeing that she was walking slower and slower, Nakahara Chuuya simply carried her in his arms.

"You didn't even ask me where I was going?"

"I'll take you wherever you want to go later. Now, come with me."

"Where are you taking me?" Nashida asked in alarm.

"To meet Yumeno Hisasaku. You've already met him, haven't you?"

“…”

"When I came back I heard he was crying. He had dreamed about Wendy, and when he woke up he found she was gone, and he started acting like a child."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it is related, because that is not the real Wendy, but you pretending to be her," said Nakahara Chuuya. "Wendy can't hear, but in her dream she can talk to ordinary people. I originally thought it was just an ordinary dream, but after seeing your power today, I have a new idea. Am I right?"

Hoshino Nozomi: ...System, why didn’t you remind me of your ooc alarm?

System: [No trigger. After all, this is not the setting of the current Grass God character card. ]

Hoshino Nozomi: "So, are you here to question why I pretended to be him?"

"No, I feel much better knowing that he was you in disguise."

Xing Yewang: “?”

【System, read your mind.】

System: [Reading the mind, success.]

Nakahara Chuuya's heart: [Haha, I knew it, the real Wendy would definitely come to me first.]

Hoshino Momo didn't understand why he was bothered by this, but he decided to let Wendy come to play with him in his dream tonight.

"Narcia? Are you listening to me?" Nakahara Chuuya's voice brought his thoughts back to reality.

System: [He wants you to help comfort Yumeno Hisaku. ]

Hoshino Nozomi: “…Okay.”

The dream-making skill is clearly a powerful weapon, but why does it feel more and more like a trick the more I use it?

He was very busy that day. First, he went into Yumeno Hisasaku's dream to coax him, and introduced his "same-age" friend Nashida to him in the identity of Wendy, which made Q, who was feeling very lonely, feel a little calmer. At night, he pretended to be Wendy and went into Nakahara Chuuya's dream, where he was scolded for ten minutes by the latter, "Why didn't you run away when you were injured? Why didn't you go to him for help?" etc. Then he spent another twenty minutes writing a letter of apology, promising not to make the same mistake again.

Fortunately, Nakahara Chuuya is much easier to appease than Q.

The next day, Hoshino opened his tired eyes and found Lansaka finally woke up and was sitting at the head of the bed entertaining himself.

"How do you feel?" He touched Lanaro's head.

"Hehe, Lanzaka is fine, King Xiaocao doesn't need to worry about Lanzaka."

Only then did Xingye Wang feel slightly relieved.

That being the case, they could set off.

Next stop, Tokyo.
