17 Chapter 17
It doesn't hurt at all.
Having not heard any screams for a long time, Yumeno Hisasaku suddenly realized that the expected pain did not occur, and even the blade wrapped around his arm was no longer painful.
He raised his head and saw Baili Bian, who was looking at him curiously with a confused look on his face.
He is not Dazai Osamu.
But like Dazai Osamu, he can control his own supernatural powers.
Yumeno Hisasaku broke down and burst into tears: "...Why? Why! Why do you do this to me!..." He just wanted to enjoy a taste of freedom one last time before Moriogai locked him up completely. Why did he have to face this kind of thing again! He was not even allowed to carry out his final plan. Did he have to stay in the basement forever? Did he have to endure loneliness and pain forever?
Although Yumeno Hisasaku's crying at the entrance of the shopping mall attracted the attention of passers-by, it did not attract much attention - it is normal for children to throw a tantrum when they want a toy but their parents refuse to buy it.
Looking at the tearful Yumeno Hisasaku, Bailibian slowly pulled out his legs. During this small movement, he felt something unusual - was there something on this child's body?
Seeing that Yumeno Hisaku was crying harder and harder, and no one around him came to stop him, Bailibian made up his mind, stretched out his right hand and slowly held Yumeno Hisaku's arm.
After confirming that the other person did have unusual objects on him, he slowly pulled open his sleeves - the first thing he saw was a circle of bandages, twisted and twisted, the kind of messy thing that Dazai Osamu would untie and re-tie when he saw it. Looking up, he could find a lot of blades, which were firmly fixed between the bandages. From the outside, the sharp side seemed to be wrapped around the inside of the skin.
This unusual method is consistent with Bailibian's previous guess - to obtain compensation by injuring the child.
But if that was really the case, they should have demanded compensation from me as soon as the child hugged me.
Why has no one come forward until now?
The breakthrough seemed to lie in the crying child in front of him. Bailibian took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Meng Ye Jiusaku, "Little boy, are you okay? Are you in trouble?"
Yumeno Hisasaku did not take the tissue, but just stared blankly at Baili Bian.
Having been caught by the Port Mafia, Yumeno Hisasaku knew that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to resist the otherworld. But the man before him seemed to have a kind of magic. He was clearly asking questions, but the words in his mouth were as convincing as the promises made by Dazai Osamu every time he asked him to go on a mission that would take him out to play if he performed well.
What does it matter? Yumeno Hisasaku thought regardless. He might as well tell everything to the person in front of him. Even if he couldn't do it, Mr. Mori would definitely catch him back if he knew so much. Even if Mr. Mori didn't catch him back, he would tell Mr. Mori that the person in front of him was like Dazai Osamu and could control his supernatural powers.
In this case, Mr. Mori would definitely be eager to catch the other person back, just like when he first discovered him.
If you can't take me away, I will ask Mr. Mori to take you back too.
Unable to conceal his excitement, Yumeno Hisasaku told Bailibian in front of him how he was captured and imprisoned by the port mafia. He waited for the other party to make an helpless excuse, and he would find a way to ask Mr. Mori to let them live together.
Baili Bian frowned as he listened to Meng Ye Jiusuo's words. He could tell that there must be something that was kept back, but the other party's imprisonment and the wounds on his body were not fake.
Even though he had heard many similar stories in City A, the impact of a child telling these stories in front of him was far greater than an adult recounting the pain of his childhood.
Okay, let's give it a try. Bai Libian wiped the tears from the other person, picked up the expectant Yumeno Hisasaku, and walked towards the Armed Detective Agency.
He did not respond to Yumeno Hisasaku's invitation to rescue him, but only asked him to take him to a place where his wounds could be treated. Since he could not judge the authenticity, he would leave it to the world's number one detective.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed. Bai Libian, who was holding Yumeno Hisasaku, even passed by a group of people in black suits.
Armed Detective Agency.
It was obvious that the world's greatest detective couldn't spend his days nestled in a small detective agency, eating snacks. When Hyakube arrived, he learned from Kunikida and Yosano Akiko, who had stayed behind, that he was out on a case. Fortunately, today was the day he'd return.
Seeing Baili hugging a frail child, although they were surprised, the two people in the Armed Detective Agency did not ask any questions. After Baili made it clear that he was planning to take on his next commission, Kunikida, as usual, led the client to the waiting room.
Yumeno Hisasaku sat quietly on the sofa in the lounge, looking around the room from time to time. Bailibian suddenly asked, "Want to eat one?" Yumeno Hisasaku then realized that there was a plate of snacks and a glass of juice in front of him.
Although he has always lived in the basement, Moriogai has never treated Yumeno Hisaku badly in terms of life. However, the food in the basement and the one in front of him obviously have different meanings.
Just as Yumeno Hisasaku was savoring the snacks in front of him, the long-awaited famous detective finally returned.
"He actually stole the detective's snacks! President, look!"
If it weren't for Bailibian's confirmation, Yumeno Hisasaku would never have associated the person in front of him with the so-called famous detective - it was just a piece of snack, too stingy.
To show his disdain, Yumeno Hisasaku took another fierce bite in front of the other party. This action obviously completely angered Edogawa Ranpo who was protecting his food.
Under the influence of super reasoning, everything about Yumeno Hisasaku was exposed, whether it was the experiences he had talked about, the reservations he had made, or even the harm he had never expected, all were cruelly exposed.
As the truth was revealed, the atmosphere around them became increasingly solemn. Yumeno sat for a long time watching Edogawa Ranpo's mouth opening and closing. He was in a trance and could no longer hear his voice. When he saw the murderous look on Yosano Akiko's face, he became more and more certain that he would never live to leave the building.
The more certain he was that his death was approaching, the calmer Yumeno Hisasaku felt. His only fear was probably what kind of torture the female doctor in a white coat would bring him before taking his life.
"Akiko!" After Edogawa Ranpo finished his reasoning, Yosano Akiko rushed into her medical room without stopping, took out the surgical tool she had just obtained - a brand new electric saw, and was about to rush out, but Fukuzawa Yukichi quickly stopped her.
Yosano Akiko made no move to stop. She simply turned around and stared intently at Yumeno Hisasaku, who was sitting on the sofa. Then, with a tone that seemed to want to devour him alive, she spoke to Fukuzawa Yukichi, each word clearly, "What's the matter, President?"
"Let's take care of the wound first." Under the powerful pressure, Bailibian pointed at the trembling Mengye Jiusaku and spoke weakly.
In the horrified eyes of Yumeno Hisasaku, Yosano Akiko tacitly agreed to Bailibian's proposal. She opened the door of the medical room again and signaled Bailibian to bring Yumeno Hisasaku in.
Given the unique nature of Yumeno Hisasaku's abilities, Bailibian initially refused to leave the medical room, but Yosano Akiko insisted, shaking her head. With Edogawa Ranpo's reassuring gaze, Bailibian complied and left the medical room.
"That damn bastard..." Realizing her tone was too ferocious, Yosano Akiko smiled soothingly at Yumeno Hisasaku, who sat dazed on the bed. She gently touched his head and whispered, "Don't be afraid. It's just a simple checkup. I won't... let you get hurt again."
Looking at Yosano Akiko's sudden change of attitude and the closed medical room, Yumeno Hisasaku finally raised his hand in cooperation under the other party's earnest gaze, and the blade hidden in his sleeve was revealed.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Yosano Akiko was shocked by the densely packed blades on the opponent's arm. However, she did not make a sound. She just stepped forward carefully, untied the bandage wrapped around her wrist, held the nearest blade, and slowly removed them one by one.
The process of removing the blades is not as simple as imagined. There are blades of varying depths mixed in between the messy bandages. Some may be wrapped in bandages, while others may be close to the skin. Even a slight looseness may cause the position of the blade to change, causing injury to Yumeno Hisasaku.
Because of this, it took Yosano Akiko half an hour to remove the blade from Yumeno Hisasaku's left arm.
Looking at Yosano Akiko, who was sweating profusely but still intending to remove the bandage on her other arm, Yumeno Hisasaku lowered his head and said, "I can do it myself." Although any injury will trigger the brain hell, if the person who causes the injury is Yumeno Hisasaku himself, no harm will occur.
Yosano Akiko disagreed. She gently pressed down Yumeno Hisasaku's left hand, rolled up her sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face, and began to untie the bandage on Yumeno Hisasaku's right hand. "Just bear with it for a while, okay? The nightmare will be over soon."
Yumeno Hisasaku lowered his eyes, watching the bandage being untied bit by bit, not knowing what to do.
The bandage on her right hand was more messy than that on her left hand. Even though she had experience, it still took Akiko Yosano half an hour to completely remove it.
Without the bandages covering them, the scars on both arms became clearly visible - Yumeno Hisasaku's special condition meant that few people could treat him, which made the scars on his body particularly conspicuous.
But Yosano Akiko was unable to use her special ability to make all the scars on Yumeno Hisasaku disappear - Please Don't Die can only be used on the wounded who are on the verge of death, but she cannot hurt Yumeno Hisasaku.
"...I'm so sorry..., I'm so sorry..." Yosano Akiko could only give Yumeno Hisasaku a physical examination. She couldn't save him, and the only promise she could make was...
"There will be no new wounds."
But for Yumeno Hisasaku, this was like a dream.
