Chapter 36
What happened behind the container was just a minor incident.
Shen Du Jianliu remembered the location, and with an expressionless face, he quickened his pace and left the place, and sent the person on his back to the clinic.
When he returned to the dock, Dazai Osamu was no longer there.
The night was getting darker and darker. The tall masts merged into the darkness. The only people left in the industrial area piled with containers were some low-level workers cleaning up the traces and an ambulance that had just arrived at the scene and was carrying the wounded.
Because they had already received treatment and their injuries were not as serious as the member with a scar on his left eye, Shen Du Jianliu did not choose to follow them.
He followed the memory point just now and came to the back of a specific container -
Likewise, there was no one here.
The man in the dark cloak had long disappeared, leaving only a muddy shoe print on the ground.
Shen Du Jianliu squatted down and stared at the shoe print with a faint expression. The soil on it was very fresh, with a slight smell of grass.
There is no mud on this side of the dock, so it must have been contaminated from nearby.
He stood up and walked forward a few steps, looking towards the north following the details of the mark, and initially spotted an abandoned factory hidden behind a container.
The boy did not go any further and turned to leave the dock.
After all, he has already confirmed that the organization he is looking for will not show up until next week, and the person just now was probably just a spy who arrived early.
Going there now would only alert the enemy.
…
After leaving the Osanbashi Pier, Kamado Kenryu went to the nearby commercial street and chose a dessert shop that had a long line and seemed very popular, and bought a few boxes of red bean daifuku.
He thought about it and went to the convenience store next door to buy a few boxes of canned crab meat.
After doing all this, the boy, whose lips were becoming increasingly pale, finally ended his entire day's journey and walked slowly back to his high-end apartment.
The neighbors across the street still kept their doors closed.
Kamado Kenryu hung a plastic bag containing a box of red bean daifuku on the security door opposite. After making sure the bag would not fall, he returned to his own door, took out his key and prepared to go in.
However, at this moment——
“Ding Dong.”
The elevator not far away suddenly opened automatically, and a slim, handsome young man with black and white hair walked out of the car.
The other person was still wearing the black windbreaker, the two strands of hair hanging beside his ears were dyed white, and his delicate cheeks were clean and calm, completely different from the bloody and violent look of the last time.
Noticing Shen Du Jianliu, the young man was stunned for a moment, as if he recalled what happened before, and nodded silently towards the opposite side.
Shen Du Jianliu also nodded slightly to him in response.
The two people had no further communication and each turned their gaze away.
[Ahhhh, it’s Akutagawa!] 】
[Great! Akutagawa is back——]
[23333 It seems that both Miru and Akutagawa are nodding their heads.]
[Has Jiejie’s injury healed?] I’m so worried.]
[These two can be considered as nodding acquaintances ()]
[I found that our A-liu has a different way of getting along with everyone]
“…”
When Ryunosuke Akutagawa walked to the door of his house and saw the plastic bag hanging on it, he stopped again, put his hands to his lips and coughed lightly, and spoke before Kamado Miru went home.
"Thank you very much."
"fine."
Shen Du Jian Liu accepted the thanks without much concern, looked back and said politely: "I hope you like it."
"As a new neighbor, please give me your guidance."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't say anything after hearing this. He glanced at the bag on the door handle and said in a straightforward tone, "Did you call an ambulance for me yesterday?"
"Although this is unnecessary, I'd still like to say thank you."
"Stop meddling in other people's business."
"Not me."
Although Kamado Miru wanted to help the other party, he didn't have time to do anything at that time: "It was Mr. Dazai who happened to come over."
"……What!!???"
The black-haired boy's voice suddenly became excited, and his whole state was completely different from before. He walked over quickly, raised his hands and pressed down Shen Du Jianliu's shoulders hard.
"You mean Mr. Dazai??!!"
"Um."
"What else did Mr. Dazai say at that time...?!"
Not quite understanding why the other party was so excited, Shen Du Jianliu looked at him with some confusion and said honestly:
"Is this little bit of training enough? You haven't unlocked your defensive abilities yet. It's really useless."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke: “…”
The air was briefly silent for a few seconds.
The black-haired boy, who had originally sounded very excited, slowly loosened his hands that were holding Shen Du's shoulders.
He gritted his teeth, his black eyes burning with a flame of persistence, like a pair of wild beast's eyes.
"next time……"
"Next time, I must successfully practice my defensive abilities and prove it to Mr. Dazai..."
When it comes to Dazai Osamu, the other party is no longer as taciturn as before, and his tone is full of determination and stubbornness.
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
He looked thoughtfully at Akutagawa Ryunosuke's slightly crazy eyes.
Even though he was severely denied by the desperate people, there was no despair in the other party's eyes. Instead, he was given a more determined motivation.
Whether it is his physique that is not affected at all... or has it been subtly affected to some extent, he needs to observe further.
It seems that we have to temporarily classify the other party as a hopeless person.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was standing opposite, gradually cooled down. He closed his eyes and coughed lightly, as if he thought of something. He raised his head and looked at Kamado Miru again with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
"Why do you know Mr. Dazai?"
"Mr. Dazai is one of the top five executives of PortMafia."
Kamado Kenryu noticed the other party's slightly changed mood, and the boy, who was always very sensitive to "desperate" people, did not answer easily.
He thought for a moment, dug out a passage from his memory, and repeated it calmly: "That was one of the legendary five great cadres, the super scary Dazai-sama, eh."
"I only dared to take a sneak peek at the end of the team."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded with satisfaction.
"That man is the leader of the dark world. He is powerful and wise. He is a person that terrifies both our enemies and ourselves. No one can disrespect him."
Shen Du Jian Liu: “Yeah.”
Akutagawa Ryunosuke went home satisfied.
***
After returning home, Kamado Miru took out the succulent potted plant that Ryunosuke Akutagawa had given him in the afternoon, watered it, and placed it on the balcony.
After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Two days passed peacefully and smoothly.
Yes.
Mr. Dazai and Mr. Chuuya went together to carry out the mission assigned by Mori Ogai last week. They have been missing for several days in a row. According to Kamado Miru's observation, when the other party encounters something that requires him, he will postpone his own death.
So Shen Du Jian Liu did not chase after him.
Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who lived across the street, was also busy with work and supernatural training. The two hadn't seen each other since that day, and their return home times just happened to be different.
Apart from this, Kamado Miru's life is similar to before. He is always paving the way for his main goal, and by the way, he is looking for people in need of help on the streets as usual.
In just 2 days, time passed very quickly.
Kamado Miru's vacation ended on Sunday, and he has now taken over the task of guarding Arsenal No. 11.
Arsenal No. 11 is one of PortMafia's confidential warehouses. After all, the M8 Carbine sniper rifle was developed through the M16, which involves the KN7 plan of Country M. It was obtained by Hong Kong triads through abnormal means and needs to be strictly guarded for the time being.
The Intelligence Department sent him a list of names and asked Shen Du Jianliu to randomly select some new recruits as his subordinates based on their resumes.
Since it didn't matter, the boy just handed it over to the person who assigned it to decide.
The only person who holds the key is Kamado Miru. Apart from him, only the fingerprints of the leader and the five major cadres have the authority to unlock the armory.
Even his subordinates had no right to know what they were guarding, so his guarding task was very easy and a complete waste of time.
There are no desperate people here. Shen Du Jianliu decisively began to use fragmented time to spread hope, just like he did when he was in GSS.
Two days later.
At 7 o'clock in the evening of Monday, the white-haired boy came to the Osan Pier again.
He hid his figure in advance and sneaked into the Asuka 5 cruise ship based on his own observations and Mr. Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning.
With Shen Du Jianliu's talent, he could easily go deep into the cabin without being discovered, and witness the entire process of the Mimic organization leaving the cruise ship from the engine room on the first floor below where the engines, fuel systems and other driving facilities were stored.
Since Port Mafia had just had a gunfight here yesterday, no one approached the industrial area of the dock, so those people easily poured into the depths of the container and came to the abandoned factory that had been targeted before.
They blended into the night silently, without attracting the attention of any passers-by...
Except for Shen Du Jianliu.
The leading man was very tall, with a wide cloak covering his face. Although his features could not be seen clearly, these people were shrouded in a thick air of fatigue and lifeless death.
A desperate criminal who couldn't be more typical.
The white-haired boy no longer hid his figure and walked briskly towards the abandoned factory hidden in the woods.
His behavior of no longer hiding his breath and traces naturally attracted the attention of some people.
The dimly lit woods suddenly became silent.
The next second, before Shen Du Jianliu stepped into the gate of the abandoned factory, men in cloaks emerged from the hidden bushes and doorways.
They stood in a row, all pointing their black guns at the white-haired boy standing not far away. The cloaked figures looked like the walking god of death.
The platinum moonlight was obscured by floating clouds at some point, and the air was filled with a faint earthy smell. This group of dark soldiers was shrouded in darkness, making the atmosphere feel a bit cramped and desperate.
Shen Du Jian Liu frowned.
In the silence, the leader walked out of the door.
He took off his cloak, revealing the deep facial features unique to Europeans and his dry, rough skin. His silver-white hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time and just casually hung on the side of his neck.
"Young man, why did you follow us here?"
The man's voice was a little hoarse, filled with low and dullness in the dark night: "This is not the place you should come to."
[Oh my god, Gide!] It’s him after all.]
[Newcomers who don’t understand ask, who is Gide? And why is Shendu following them?】
【Because they are Mimic】
[Popular Science on Mimic: A European supernatural military organization, they were sold out by their own country when they were fighting for their country, and became wanted traitors. They then became a group of zombies who had lost their faith as soldiers and are looking for someone to redeem them]
[In the original work, Gide has the ability to predict the future 5 or 6 seconds like Odasaku]
[This bastard thought that Odasaku was very powerful and had the qualifications to kill them so that they could be redeemed, so he schemed against Odasaku... Alas]
I see.
Shen Du Jianliu briefly browsed through all the comments in the live broadcast room.
He had encountered several desperate people who were eager to be killed by powerful enemies in his own world.
It's very simple.
The handsome white-haired boy coughed lightly a few times, raised his hand to take off the coat on his shoulders to avoid being implicated later.
His short silver hair fluttered in the wind. His skin, which was so transparent that you could see the blood vessels, was almost pale enough to glow under the moonlight. His body looked frail, and his lips, stained with sickness, had an unhealthy paleness. However, his arms were extremely steady, without any sign of trembling.
"I'm sorry, young man."
Gide, who was standing opposite him, did not feel any sympathy for the white-haired boy because of his frail and sickly appearance.
He raised the gun from his arms and pointed it at Shen Du Jianliu's head with an expressionless face.
"Whatever your purpose is in following us here, unfortunately-"
"If you see us, there's no chance of you returning alive."
Shen Du Jian Liu does not talk nonsense.
He planned to subdue the leader first, and then have a patient chat with them. There were many ways to solve the current situation, and taking direct action was the fastest.
However.
Just as he was about to rush forward, the man named Gide suddenly let go of the weapon in his hand.
With a "click", the black pistol fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The other party showed an expression of frustration and compromise, lowered his head and half-knelt on the ground.
"I lost."
…
Shen Du Jian Liu: “?”
