39 Chapter 39
◎[Save Mu Ye]◎
"Mr. Muye...?" How could he be with a demon?
Nakajima Atsushi's hesitant voice attracted the attention of others. Kunikida walked forward and looked down at the photos in the box.
In the photo, Mu Ye Xue Che's figure was mostly covered by a black umbrella, and only the ends of his white hair could be vaguely seen. The demon stood opposite him, holding a wet hat in his hand, and looked at Mu Ye Xue Che calmly.
There are several more photos later that show the two of them talking. The black umbrella obscured Mu Ye Xue Che's expression, so it was impossible to tell the atmosphere of their conversation through the photos.
"It's a demon for sure." Kunikida Doppo picked up the photo and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Not long ago, Mu Ye Xue Che asked for three days off, saying that he was going to meet friends.
Could it be that this friend is Fyodor?
As soon as this thought appeared, Kunikida Doppo suppressed it.
How could Mu Ye Xue Che be related to Fyodor? There must be some misunderstanding.
Nakajima Atsushi said, "Maybe it was just a chance encounter?"
But that doesn't make sense.
If Mu Yejun really encountered a demon, he would definitely contact the detective agency or the supernatural intelligence department, but there has been no news for so long.
"Why don't we first find out who sent this photo?" Dazai Osamu interrupted lazily. He lay on the sofa and removed the book covering his face. "Why did he take this photo, and what was his purpose in sending it to the detective agency?"
"Dazai is right." Kunikida Doppo put down the photo.
Mu Ye Xue Che had no contact with Fyodor before. It is very likely that this photo was taken by someone deliberately to guide Mu Ye Xue Che to meet Fyodor.
Purpose……
I'm afraid he wants to alienate Mu Ye Xue Che and the detective agency.
Mu Ye Xue Che just took a leave yesterday, and today there are photos. The "friend" who asked him out has a big problem.
"By the way, check who delivered the letter to Mu Ye-jun yesterday."
He frowned slightly, "I'll contact Mu Ye."
Mu Ye Xue Che should know about this matter.
Mu Ye Xue Che, the focus of the detective agency, was sitting in front of Fyodor at this moment. Fyodor took out a cello and started playing in front of Mu Ye Xue Che.
The music flows out slowly.
Mu Ye Xue Che leaned back in his chair, lowered his head and flipped through the photos on his phone, as if he was treating Fyodor's performance as background music.
The photos were sent by the people he arranged.
Ye Yueshen flipped through two cards casually and fell silent.
He was the only one in the photo. Gogol's teleportation landing point was just blocked by the black umbrella, and he took advantage of the difference in vision to perfectly avoid all cameras.
The following photos don't even have any people in them, only a black umbrella dropped on the ground.
All failed.
At first glance, these photos look like he has been kidnapped.
This is not the effect he wants at all.
“Beep.”
Mu Ye Xue Che's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting Fyodor's performance. Fyodor stopped, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ye Xue Che quietly.
"Answer a call." The caller ID on the phone showed that the caller was Kunikida Doppo.
Why would Kunikida Doppo call him at this time?
"Muye, someone sent some photos to the detective agency." Kunikida Dopo warned straight to the point, "Be careful out there, someone might be targeting you."
Mu Ye Xue Che asked: "What photo?"
"Yes..." The other party chose his words carefully, "a photo of you talking to the demon."
Ye Yue Shen:?
What photo?
Where did the photo come from?
He hadn't even taken the pictures yet, let alone sent them to the detective agency.
Talk to Fyodor...
Ye Yueshen immediately thought of the rain yesterday. Could it be that he and Fyodor were not the only ones present at that time?
Did someone plan everything in advance, prepare and take photos?
“…”Mu Ye Xue Che remained silent.
On the other end of the phone, someone asked worriedly, "Mu Ye?"
"knew."
Mu Ye Xue Che replied, raising his eyes and meeting Fyodor's gaze. Under the gaze of those purple-red eyes, he replied to the detective agency: "I will be careful."
The phone was hung up.
Kunikida Doppo frowned.
Very strange.
Mu Ye Xue Che was too... calm.
So calm that he doesn't seem like Mu Ye Xue Che.
No anger, no sarcasm.
It's so abnormal.
On the other side, Mu Ye Xue Che, who had just finished the call, raised his chin slightly and said, "You can continue playing your piano."
Fyodor did not obey his command, but put down his instrument and stood up.
"You should have found your past memories." The Russian in front of him observed Mu Ye Xue Che, and found the answer he wanted through his expression. He thought thoughtfully, "Did you only remember part of it?"
memory.
This word slightly touched Mu Ye Xue Che. After meeting Fyodor, the other party only said a few words, and an extra memory appeared in his brain.
It's a memory from before I was nine years old.
He ran around in a place that looked like an experimental base and finally hid in a cabinet.
It was pitch black all around.
The memory ends.
Everything that happened afterwards seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, and I couldn't see or hear anything at all.
Mu Ye Xue Che withdrew his thoughts, "Hasn't anyone ever told you that you talk a lot?"
No.
Before the Rat of the Dead House there was a guy who talked more.
Fyodor remained calm, "I can help you regain all your memories."
"Speak frankly, what's the price?"
"As long as you help me get the Armed Detective Agency's supernatural license..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Ye Xue Che stood up and was about to leave.
Mu Ye Xue Che sneered: "Go to bed early, you can dream about anything."
"Ask Nakajima Atsushi to come out. I want to meet him." Fyodor changed his request.
Mu Ye Xue Che turned around and looked at Fyodor with an expression that said "Are you dreaming?"
Fyodor changed his request.
His tone softened.
"Tell me your past memories."
Mu Ye Xue Che: "..."
Is this Fyodor's true purpose?
Did you go through all this just to find out his memory?
It’s so simple…
It was so simple that Mu Ye Xue Che suspected that there was some conspiracy waiting for him.
But Mu Ye Xue Che did not refuse this time.
Fyodor knew he agreed, and a smile appeared on his lips. "See you tomorrow then."

hound.
This is the third day that Yun Xiji has become a temporary member of the team.
"Wasn't this place bombed half a year ago? Why are they only asking for an investigation now?" Tiaoye Caiju said. "If we go any later, there won't be a trace left."
Yun Xiji, dressed in his Hounds uniform, adjusted his hat and agreed, "There's not a trace left now."
Tiaoye Caiju was stunned.
Not a trace left?
Is this precognition?
Suehiro Tiechang turned his head and looked at Yunxiji: "Are you saying that all the clues to that place have disappeared?"
"Yes."
"Congratulations, we're a little late."
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "..."
He put aside his confusion and chose to complain first: "What are you congratulating?"
"Congratulations! We searched for an hour and found nothing." Yun Xiji sighed, "What a sense of accomplishment! The sense of accomplishment of trying so hard but achieving nothing."
Yun Xiji turned around and found Okura Yezi standing behind him with a smile on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yun Xiji blinked innocently.
Yun Xiji's predictive ability is strong and has never made a mistake so far, but despite this, the Hound members still need to go and investigate.
The place that needs to be investigated is on the outskirts of Yokohama. It is full of ruins and its original appearance is completely unrecognizable.
The hounds searched the ruins, but just as Yun Xiji had said, they found nothing useful.
"Don't you think it's weird?" Yun Xiji suddenly spoke during the search.
The three Hounds looked up at the same time.
"Is it going to start again?" Tiaoye Caiju was the first to react, lowering his head as usual to continue searching. He said, "This guy is definitely going to start telling some ghost stories to scare people."
Suehiro Tetsuji asked cooperatively, "Strange?"
"There was a sudden explosion at an unknown location, and all the people inside are buried underground—" Yun Xiji's tone darkened. "If we dig now, will we find something inhuman?"
"Is it a premonition?" Suehiro Tetsuji said seriously, "If I really dig it up, I will fight it."
Picking chrysanthemums in the wild is speechless.
"Do you believe everything he says?"
This is obviously making fun of them!
"What are you doing here?"
A strange voice interrupted.
Not far away, a man stood on the ruins, his black coat blown by the wind and fluttering behind him.
The black hair was a little messy due to the wind, and the red eyes were like flowing blood, staring straight at the four people.
Suehiro Tetsuji said, "Jono, we've dug up something inhuman."
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: "..."
Yun Xiji was not joking?
He could clearly sense that the guy not far away had no heartbeat, and even his breathing was regular and quiet.
That's not a human.
"Wow, it's out." Yun Xiji exclaimed from behind him, "It actually came out in a single draw. I thought I would have to come a few more times before it would be out."
The originally tense atmosphere was interrupted by him, and for a moment, it was no longer serious.
Being compared to cargo, Himuro Hayato tilted his head.
Okura Yezi couldn't help but asked, "Do you think this is a card drawing game?"
Himuro Hayato walked towards the four people.
Suehiro Tetsuji was the first to draw his sword, and the snow-white sword light flashed under the clear sky. He looked at Himuro Hayato, and although he had no expression on his face, he gave people an inexplicable feeling that as long as he continued to move forward, the sword light would fall on him.
Himuro Hayato stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
Tiaoye Caiju pulled out her ID: "Hound."
A special squad of the government's repressive military and police forces.
He smiled and asked, "We should ask you, who are you? Why are you here?"
A non-human being without a heartbeat.
He can also perfectly control the sound he makes, and when he walks he is like a gust of wind, leaving no trace.
As long as Hayato Himuro didn't speak, he didn't notice the other party.
Where on earth did such a person come from?
"Port Mafia Himuro Hayato." The man actually responded, "I came here to look for something."
Yun Xiji: "Congratulations, what you are looking for is not here."
Okura Yezi: "...Jiono is right, you are really weird."
Don't care about the atmosphere at all.
Yun Xiji changed the subject and said, "But I do know where what you're looking for is. It's in the Death House Rats. As long as you capture the boss of the Death House Rats and bring him to the prison, you can get what you want."
Himuro Hayato asked, "Really?"
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: “.”
There's no skill involved, it's all personal.
Tiaoye Caiju was kind enough to remind him, "What he said was half true and half false. He might be teasing you."
Tiao Ye Caiju could not hear the heartbeat of this non-human being, and could only infer his thoughts indirectly from the sound of the wind when he made movements.
No one should be fooled by such obvious nonsense.
Himuro Hayato believed it: "I will go find that person."
The tense atmosphere disappeared, leaving only a calm and peaceful question and answer.
"Himuro, who are you talking to?" A boy's voice with a somewhat deep voice sounded. Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked over and looked at Jiono Saikiku and the people behind him.
He instantly recognized the identities of several people. The Rashomon behind him suddenly rose up, floating behind him with its fangs and claws bared. Akutagawa Ryunosuke said with a cold expression: "Hound."
This piece of ruins had been searched by the Mafia half a year ago. They found some experimental records that were not affected by the bomb in the ruins. Half a year later, Himuro Hayato's status in the Mafia soared. In order to prevent his capable subordinates from getting into accidents, the leader arranged for them to check the ruins again to make sure there was no more information and intelligence there.
"The Rat of the Dead House has information about the laboratory." Hayato Himuro told him the news he had just received.
"Rat of the Dead House..."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke repeated it, his brows furrowed.
"Laboratory?" Tiaoye Caiju grasped the key point.
He looked at the ruins. "Was this a laboratory before?"
Their superiors arranged for them to investigate, but did not tell them the previous use of the place.
Laboratory, non-human.
Yun Xiji probably had predicted this a long time ago, but out of bad taste he kept telling them in a joking way.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke raised his eyes.
His dark eyes were like the abyss, and his face looked pale and unhealthy.
"Should we get rid of this group of people?" he asked Hayato Himuro.
Himuro Hayato looked at the few people from a distance.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly froze, as if the two ends of a thin line were pulled up and pulled to the sides.
The thin thread will break if there is even the slightest movement.
Yun Xiji sighed and said to Himuro Hayato, "I hinted to you to run away soon, but you still stayed here. What a pity..."
He clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry for my performance."
Suehiro Tetsuji reminded: "Hunting dogs don't have such things."
Yun Xiji said, "I'm trying to scare them."
“…”
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The black cloth suddenly attacked the four people, sharp as a blade, swift and direct.
Tiaoye Caiju dodged and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Two against four?"
He drew his sword and chuckled softly.
"Are you serious?"
————
The detective agency's investigation progressed quickly. They traced the person who sent the letter to Mu Ye Xue Che all the way to the person who sent the photos to the detective agency.
“It’s the same person.”
"Someone wants to frame Mu Yejun?"
Nakajima Atsushi hesitated, "Let's give Muye-kun another call."
At least tell Mu Ye Xue Che about the current situation.
The call was connected, but the person on the other end remained silent.
Nakajima Atsushi called out a few times, but the voice that finally came was not Muye Xueche, but a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, "Muye-kun's phone was left here."
Dazai Osamu raised his head.
Nakajima Atsushi was confused. The person on the other end of the phone didn't seem to be talking to him, but more like talking to someone next to him.
Dazai Osamu said: "It's a demon."
Fyodor noticed the phone, only to hear two beeps before the call was hung up.
"Demon?"
Mu Ye Xue Che was with the demon, and he left his phone with the demon...
This realization caused the detective agency to fall silent.
Nakajima Atsushi looked at his phone in disbelief, "Could the friend that Murasakibara-kun mentioned be a demon?"
Edogawa Ranpo cast a glance.
"Kuroba Yukito's father is from the Special Ability Division." Kunikida Doppo pushed up his glasses. "He's the last person to become friends with a demon."
"If so, there must be something else going on."
[System upgrade completed, new features to be enabled.] The primary system suddenly said, [Are you sure you want to enable it?]
Ye Yue Shen asked: [What new features? ]
He remembered it was about the function of the forum.
Could it be that he wants to see the specific pain value of each audience member?
That's really high-tech.
Ye Yueshen chose to open it with a skeptical attitude.
[A forum account has been automatically registered for you. The number of posts you can post per day is 1, and the number of replies you can make per day is 3.]
Ye Yue Shen: [? ]
What?
Register a forum account? Post it himself?
Is this true or false?
Ye Yueshen immediately opened the forum.
He thought about the current progress and started editing the post: [Wow, new plot, good knife]
[Muye Xueche wanted to regain his memory, but he found the wrong person, Fyodor, and was misunderstood by the detective agency...]
Ye Yue Shen revised it several times and finally clicked send.
He began to refresh the replies under his post.
1L [The new plot is indeed a bit heartbreaking, but did you read the marketing account?]
2L [The original poster should go watch the latest episode, there is no misunderstanding with the detective agency]
3L [This detective agency makes me feel so soft]
4L [The first reaction of everyone in the detective agency after receiving the photo was to call Mu Ye to be careful. Oh my god, such trust, this is a complete redemption script]
5L［Heartwarming］
6L [I admit this detective agency is awesome ww]
Ye Yueshen slowly formed a question mark.
The detective agency had no misunderstanding?
He didn't have a God's perspective and couldn't see the detective agency's reaction, but he could roughly guess something.
Logically, shouldn't we suspect him, investigate him, and be completely disappointed in him after finding conclusive evidence?
There's no way this script could go wrong.
He randomly picked out a reply: [This doesn't make sense... Doesn't the detective agency have any suspicions at all?]
Someone quickly replied: [Mu Ye is the son of the director of the Special Ability Department. It is unlikely that he would have any connection with the demon.]
Hazuki Shin: [……]
This identity is probably the biggest problem.
Didn't the audience already know that it was the director who erased Mu Ye Xue Che's memories? It would have made perfect sense for him to seek help from the demon.
9L [Poor little Murasaki, the detective agency has realized what's happening now and should be able to help soon]
10L [So many memories are gone...Recovering them now would be even more dangerous. Even Mu Ye Xue Che’s father might not be able to save him.]
11L［Save Mu Ye］
Ye Yueshen replied to two more posts, trying to make everyone aware of this knife.
soon.
He has no more replies.
Hazuki Shin: [……]
Is the purpose of this new forum feature to make him feel more comfortable with his failed haircuts?
The pain value dropped is not that much.
Even if this part of the knife is resolved, the audience's heartache for the character will still leave some pain value.
Ye Yueshen once again reaffirmed his original idea——
It is right to cut yourself.
Misunderstanding is a detour! !
He controlled Mu Ye Xue Che's vest and looked around.
There were many people coming and going on the street, but there was not a single familiar face.
After meeting Fyodor again, Mu Ye Xue Che regained all his memories.
That memory was about the laboratory. The experimental base was funded and planned by the government.
The young Mu Ye Xue Che once accidentally broke in and saw too many secrets, from experimental records to experimental personnel and several experimental subjects.
No one can guarantee that a child will not gradually forget all of this, forget those names and faces.
They chose to reset all of Mu Ye Xue Che's memories.
——Just because of his special identity.
If it were anyone else, they would be stuck in that base forever.
He was still thinking when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Muye-kun!" Nakajima Atsushi trotted over to his side, his purple-gold eyes quickly scanning Muye Xueche's entire body. "Are you okay?"
The detective agency searched for Mu Ye Xue Che for a long time but couldn't find him.
Unexpectedly, he met Mu Ye Xue Che on the street.
Is it true that finding someone still depends on chance encounters?
Nakajima Atsushi immediately sent a message to the detective agency
Mu Ye Xue Che frowned: "What's wrong with me?"
Nakajima Atsushi hesitated and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"What do you want to say?" Mu Ye Xue Che asked, "Do you want to ask about those photos?"
"No, Muye-kun." Nakajima Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the detective agency had discussed that if Mu Ye Xue Che didn't want to say it, then they would all pretend not to know.
But the demon Fyodor is too dangerous, and the photos sent to the detective agency also show that someone is targeting Mu Ye Xue Che.
Nakajima Atsushi said seriously, "If you encounter danger, you must—"
Boom——!!
There was a loud explosion in the distance, and that sound drowned out Nakajima Atsushi's words.
The people on the street suddenly became agitated and left the street in confusion and panic.
The two people who were about to talk paused, chose to end the conversation, and walked towards the place where the explosion occurred.
Mu Ye Xue Che randomly grabbed a passerby and asked: "What happened?"
"Explosion... there was an explosion over there!" The passerby muttered incoherently, "There's a person with superpowers!"
Mu Ye Xue Che barely managed to extract some information from his few words.
A person with special abilities used his special abilities to blow up that place.
Such a confusing sentence.
The two people from the detective agency immediately went to the place where the explosion occurred.
There was thick smoke, and the situation inside was blurry and completely invisible. After a few minutes, the wind blew it away slightly, revealing a few human figures.
In this explosion that could almost destroy the entire street, there were actually several figures standing there.
Nakajima Atsushi observed it with his naked eyes for a moment.
There are four standing figures.
A voice came from the core of the explosion—
"I remember I told you that I'm afraid of pain."
