Chapter 41
◎［The prophecy tells me that we will meet again.］◎
Mu Ye Xue Che left home. He held up his umbrella and looked upstairs. The curtains of the study were not drawn. From this distance, he could even see the figure of the person in the study.
What is this?
According to the background, the relationship between father and son should not be harmonious.
He looked away.
Without clicking on the pain value, Ye Yue Shen can roughly estimate the current value.
[System, what was that negative counterattack case you mentioned last time?] Ye Yue asked.
Primary system reply: [That host successfully counterattacked from -1%.]
Hazuki Shin: [……]
What's the difference between this and no negligence?
What is the counterattack of -1%?
He was too tired to complain and turned his attention to other accounts.
Hound training room.
Yun Xiji leaned against the wall, looking down at his phone.
On the screen was an unfamiliar email, a bunch of gibberish. Yun Xiji calmly glanced at the Hounds training members nearby and typed a question mark on the screen: "Scam?"
[Scammers need some skills, who can understand these garbled characters?]
There was no response from the other side.
"Why are you slacking off again?" Okura Yezi's voice rang out. "During your last mission, you were almost blown away by a bomb. Who was the one who screamed in pain?"
“This is different.”
Yun Xiji said confidently: "Even if my physical skills improve, it won't stop me from feeling pain."
Okura Yeko: "..."
Damn, there is actually logic.
After the two bombing incidents, the higher-ups did not directly suspect Yun Xiji. However, there were many people who knew about and participated in this incident, and there were casualties involved, so it took a lot of time to investigate them one by one.
After confirming that the two bombs were exploded not long after each other and that the bomb in the building exploded suddenly for no reason, they finally identified the suspect as Yun Xiji.
"You should be in the observation room right now," said Jouno Caiju. "The suspect who killed so many high-ranking officials is actually training here without incident."
Yun Xiji said: "Because I have connections."
"If you have connections up there, that would be a horror story," Tiao Ye Cai Ju complained.
As a former member of an international wanted criminal organization, he has connections and relationships in the government and can even influence major decisions.
——Is Japan finished?
Tiaoye Caiju listened to his calm heartbeat and said, "Please stop being naughty."
Suehiro Tetsuji turned his head and looked over, tilting his head: "Shouldn't you, Tiaoye, be the one with the most bad taste here?"
Tiao Ye picked chrysanthemums and smiled.
He just entertains people when he's bored sometimes.
But Yun Xiji is different. This guy is always trying to make others have fun.
The hound's rest is over and it receives a new mission.
"It's the captain!" Okura Yezi's eyes lit up, "The captain asked us to cooperate in capturing... the demon?"
Suehiro Tetsuji: "Cooperation?"
"The other party's original words were: I need some witnesses." Okura Yezi hesitated.
Picking chrysanthemums in the wild:?
Is it chuunibyou?
Okura Yezi showed the mission to the others: "It's the group from the United States. Their leader said he has a way to capture Fyodor."
Yun Xiji casually asked, "What are the conditions?"
"He wants a license to open a business with supernatural powers."
————
Rat of the Dead House.
[Gibberish——(Organization No. 7, found the core)]
[?]
[Fraud?]
Fyodor looked at the few messages that came back from Yunxi Jihui with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He was not worried that Yun Xiji would not be able to understand the garbled code.
He will arrange for someone to tell Yun Xiji the actual meaning of that string of garbled code in the future.
Whether it is foreknowledge or a cycle, as long as Yun Xiji has the memory of "knowing that string of garbled code" in the future, he will be able to understand it at this moment.
It's not a supernatural power, but it's surprisingly useful.
This saves the risk of being discovered when giving orders.
Fyodor scanned the table, which contained information about the Area A laboratory.
This information was completely hidden in the explosion caused by Yun Xiji. All the people involved died, and even the experimenter he locked up choked himself to death.
Even if he wanted to take advantage of this matter, he couldn't find the right person.
Fyodor suspected that Yun Xiji was working against him.
No, it's not doubt.
He just hadn't found any concrete evidence.
A message notification sound came from the mailbox.
Half an hour later, Yun Xiji replied again: [Scams are hard to come by these days. How about I introduce you to a new job?]
Come work at our hound company. Everything is guaranteed except your life. But as long as you run fast, you won't die.
Fyodor stared at the message and subconsciously bit his knuckles. The slight pain made him concentrate.
[Not replying to me?]
[Haha, I don’t really want to chat with you.]
[Mutually deleted.]
After Yun Xiji typed [mutual deletion], he deleted the other party's email address.
Fitzgerald provided them with several plans to capture the demon from various angles.
Fudi Sakura Chi also participated in this "observation".
"Do you know where the demon is?"
Fitzgerald raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course."
He raised his chin slightly. "We've found the demon's safe house. As long as none of you leak the news, he will stay in the safe house and wait for the people I arrange to capture him."
When the word "leaked" came out, all the Hound members looked at Yun Xiji.
The sky cleared up slightly after a break in the clouds.
He asked, “Is there no trust between us?”
This is just a hypothesis, why do these people react as if he really leaked the news?
Although he did tip off in advance.
Suehiro Tiechang looked at him for a moment and said, "I believe you, but nothing will happen to Tiaoye and Yezi."
He used the process of elimination.
Okura Yezi's expression was complicated: "If something really goes wrong, you should know how suspicious you are."
She used logic.
Tiaoye Caiju smiled and said, "No."
He decisively chose not to trust.
Fuchi Yingchi observed, "You two seem to be getting along pretty well."
It was much better than he expected. He thought Yun Xiji would not be able to adapt to the Hounds, or that other members of the Hounds would always question Yun Xiji.
Now it seemed that the three of them had only quiet suspicion.
It's not a big deal.
Tiao Ye Cai Ju: “.”
The reason we get along so well is simply because I'm too lazy to discuss things in depth with Yun Xiji.
Yun Xiji is like a primary school student. The more you respond to him, the more interested he becomes.
The best solution is to ignore it.
Fitzgerald clapped his hands. "Well, that's the end of the small talk."
His eyes swept over the people at a steady pace, "My people will take the demon to where he should go."
The action began, and Fitzgerald left with the members of the group, leaving only the five members of the Hound.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Tiaoye Caiju suddenly said, "He knows one of us, or rather, one of us is his companion."
The heartbeat suddenly became unusual when it swept over someone.
Yun Xiji raised his hand: "It's me."
The young man was surprisingly frank.
"The original mission for the Rat of the Dead House required me to finish up for my superior, and I took the opportunity to comfort the leader of this group."
Okura Yezi: "Comfort?"
"Yes, he tried to find the book page to save his daughter but failed. I told him to mourn, but he turned around and tried to kill me." Yun Xiji's face showed no regrets. "He was almost caught and thrown into Meursault Prison when he was escaping."
hound:"……"
You don't have to guess to know that Yun Xiji did it on purpose.
Does this guy like to commit suicide so much?
The strange thing just now was explained, so the Hound did not continue to ask questions and reported the results of the conversation with the group to his superiors.
Port Mafia.
During the holidays, Hayato Himuro received a new task that he had never done before - to take Alice out shopping.
In the Mafia's chief's office, Mori Ogai sighed softly, "A cadre is very curious about your abilities."
"He hopes you can help him with some advice."
The leader's eyes fell on him, with a hint of pity, as if he was looking at him, but also as if he was pitying others through him.
"Before that, I'll give you a day off."
Himuro Hayato, who had been granted a vacation, stared at Alice silently.
A non-human creation, like AI, inputs settings and instructions into it, and it will react based on your actions and words.
Does AI also need to go shopping?
"Of course we need it." Alice tugged at his sleeve, "Just let Rintaro work overtime by himself. I don't want to accompany him."
Himuro Hayato blinked.
Alice's shopping goal is very clear - to eat.
She especially likes sweet things. After taking a bite of the cake, the blonde girl curled her eyes.
"Himero, do you want to try it?"
In my peripheral vision, a figure flashed past outside the store.
She paused and turned to look outside.
Someone is running.
The door of the shop was pushed open, and a familiar person walked in. He looked at Himuro Hayato with some surprise: "Himuro-kun, you are here too?"
Himuro Hayato responded.
"What a coincidence." Fitzgerald didn't seem anxious. He was still in the mood to chat with Himuro Hayato. "Would someone like you be willing to stay in the Mafia?"
Alice's eyes widened slightly.
Are you trying to poach people?
"Himuro-kun, joining the Mafia is the right decision." The little girl was clearly eating, but the cake in front of her barely dwindled. "What are you trying to sow discord about?"
Himuro Hayato replied, "Mafia is good."
Fitzgerald raised his eyebrows slightly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Did you see anyone running away just now?"
Alice was eager to get him to leave quickly, so she pointed in a direction outside and said, "That way."
Fitzgerald left, and the next person to enter the store was Hound. The five of them sat not too far from the two Mafia men, leaning against the window.
"So you really did tell on me, didn't you?" Tiao Ye Caiju started complaining before she even sat down. "The demon ran away a long time ago."
Yun Xiji replied: "I know we don't trust each other, but you can't wrongly accuse me."
He calmly activated his special ability towards Tiaoye Caiju's ear, "How could I possibly snitch on someone when I know I'm the most suspicious? I'm not an idiot."
Yun Xiji used reverse logic.
Tiaoye Caiju: "How long have you been preparing this argument?"
Alice held the spoon between her lips and listened to the hounds at the next table.
Combination, Demon, Hound.
How did these people end up together? Did they team up with the hounds to catch the demon?
As she was thinking, the hound's conversation suddenly stopped.
Okura Yezi raised her eyes and looked directly at the two of them. "Mafia people over there, how long do you plan to eavesdrop?"
Alice choked on the cake, she covered her mouth and started coughing violently. Hayato Himuro opposite her handed her a glass of water.
Did he really say that on purpose for them to hear?
Alice stood up and pretended not to hear them, "Himuro-nii, let's go."
Himuro Hayato glanced over there and pulled Alice up. The five Hounds did not speak to stop them, as if they had just mentioned it casually.
On the streets of Yokohama, Fyodor was about to evacuate the safe house and met members of the group as he walked out the door.
When he had previously contacted the group, he had investigated all the members of the group.
This time it was Hawthorne who came to arrest him.
The blood solidified and attacked the safe house decisively and directly.
Fyodor took a step back and walked in another direction.
Behind him, his men, wearing his coat, ran outside quickly.
The member of the group was indeed attracted, and Fyodor took the opportunity to leave the safe house.
Before leaving, he destroyed the account he used to contact Yun Xiji. With the previous case of "still digging up records after deregistration", Fedor was well prepared this time and cleared the records thoroughly without leaving any trace.
The group's actions disrupted his plans.
He needs a place to hide now.
That place can be dangerous, but it requires absolute secrecy.
He recalled the message Yun Xiji sent him.
[As long as you run fast, you won’t die.]
This sentence is definitely not that simple. Yun Xiji has seen his future and will definitely not be so kind to tell him.
"Have you seen this man?"
It was a familiar way of finding someone, except this time the person being found was Fitzgerald, and he couldn't simply block the entire street.
Fyodor lowered his head and walked away quickly.
He was not running around aimlessly, but walked to a warehouse with a purpose. Goods were being transported into the warehouse, and the gems were stacked, sparkling in the sun.
He stood where he was and walked in another direction.
"Oh? Let me see who this is?"
A teasing voice sounded behind him, but Fyodor did not turn around.
"Fyodor, the leader of the House of Dead Rats." The man had short, white hair, with one eye covered by drooping bangs. "I didn't expect you to come to my door on your own initiative."
One of the five major cadres of the Port Mafia, ACE.
"Go, tie him up for me," Cadre A said with a smile. "The demon... Fyodor."
He seemed to admire Fyodor, but was more pleased with himself for having captured the demon.
Fyodor offered a little resistance, but was quickly suppressed.
He dropped his eyes.
“…”
————
When Fyodor woke up again, he saw Cadre A, who had been waiting for him for a long time. In the dim cell, Fyodor was tied to a chair, with two of Cadre A's men standing behind him, each with a collar around his neck.
There was another tall figure beside Cadre A.
"Exactly as you said, he really woke up at this time." Cadre A exclaimed, "Would you consider working for me?"
In front of Fyodor, he kept talking to the people around him about the advantages of his surroundings, and in the meantime tried to sow discord between Hayato Himuro and Chuuya Nakahara.
Fyodor looked up. There was only one light in the cell, shining down from above his head. The person next to Cadre A had black hair and red eyes.
The man's face was expressionless, just fixed on him.
"No." Himuro Hayato refused.
Cadre A paused and glanced at Himuro Hayato.
He seemed to have truly heard what Himuro Hayato said, and turned his words to Fyodor, "Untie him."
While Fyodor was knocked unconscious and all his belongings were taken away, he sat there quietly.
"What a mess! Take him and clean him up."
The boy next to Cadre A subconsciously took a step forward.
But he was stopped by a hand.
Officer A glanced sideways, "Himuro-kun, I'll leave this mission to you."
The young man beside him was a little nervous, but Himuro Hayato had no objection and nodded nonchalantly.
Himuro Hayato wasn't familiar with the structure of this place. The young man showed him the floor plan and said, "The lounge is here. You'll find it after you go out and turn the corner."
"good."
The young man glanced at him a few times and found that there was no dissatisfaction on the other person's face, and he still had that expressionless look.
There were only two people left in the corridor.
Fyodor accepted the situation in front of him well. He walked into the lounge with Hayato Himuro calmly.
"That gentleman is suppressing you." This was the first sentence Fyodor said.
"Um."
Himuro Hayato didn't say anything else, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
He said he was helping to clean up, but in fact he just took out Fyodor's clothes and waited at the door for him to finish packing.
After all this was over, they were called to find Cadre A. Cadre A looked at Fyodor, who was dressed neatly, with satisfaction and waved his hand for the two to come forward.
There was a card table in that room.
He motioned for Fyodor to sit opposite him and made a bet with him: if Fyodor won, he would let him go, but if Fyodor lost, he would have to wear the collar on the table.
Cadre A's special ability [The Abnormality of the Gem King] allows him to control other people through gems, but the prerequisite is that the other party must wear it voluntarily.
Fyodor took the cards and did not refuse.
Officer A was very satisfied. He turned to Himuro Hayato and asked, "I want to play cards with him now. Himuro-kun, who do you think will win?"
Himuro Hayato glanced at the card table and then looked away.
He said, "You."
Cadre A raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew he couldn't lose...
“—will die.”
Cadre A:?
Cadre A's expression suddenly froze, frozen on his face.
...will die?
[This is so funny! Why is everyone trying to sow discord between Himuro Hayato and the Mafia?]
First, President Fei suggested that Mafia wasn't right for him, then ACE criticized his boss, and finally, President Tuo made a light but not harsh remark.
1L [It's clear that everyone wants to make sure the Mafia loses a hardworking employee]
2L [His brain is really buggy, and his immortality is even worse]
3L [This kind of good thing, which hurts the enemy a thousand times but hurts yourself zero, is a waste if you don’t do it]
4L [Is anyone paying attention to ACE? He seems a little dead]
5L [Cadre A's mind is already revolving]
6L [I had Himuro Hayato predict a few things, and my trust in him was already maxed out. And then, all of a sudden, I heard the news that I was going to die—]
7L [There's nothing I can do about it. Himuro has been honest since he was young.]
[……]
Himuro Hayato's words were correct.
Cadre A realized this deeply before his death.
Fyodor put on his hat and glanced at Hayato Himuro not far away.
This was a guy who was completely beyond his expectations.
According to the plan, he should kill ACE and his men, and then take away the supernatural intelligence of all Mafia members.
The problem arises.
Himuro Hayato will not die.
He couldn't make Himuro Hayato harbor any ill will towards him, nor could he take advantage of the opportunity to use his special abilities.
Himuro Hayato called: "Boss."
He was standing not far from Fyodor and his voice was clear.
"Cadre ACE died. He was killed by a demon."
Mori Ogai's tone was calm, and he asked in surprise, "ACE is dead?"
Hayato Himuro could tell that Mori Ogai's surprise was fake.
The leader had already guessed the result.
Himuro Hayato said, "Your acting is very poor. You should go for further training."
Mori Ogai laughed helplessly.
On the side, Fyodor raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.
He only got the information of all the Mafia members but did not open it to check. He felt strange about Hayato Himuro's tone and way of speaking.
Did Himuro Hayato actually talk to the Mafia leader in this way?
Totally unexpected.
Mori Ogai ignored this and said, "In that case, you will temporarily take over ACE's business."
There were only two people left alive in Cadre A's base.
Silence permeated between the two of them.
Fyodor could even hear the voice on the other end of the line.
"Including the task of capturing the demon."
The Hound and the Gang are both looking for the Demon. If the Mafia can hand over the person at this moment, they can make many demands on both parties.
Fyodor's escape into the Mafia at this moment was completely a trap for him.
Himuro Hayato replied: "Okay."
Meursault receives new news.
The internationally wanted criminal Fyodor was arrested and will soon be sent to Meursault Prison.
Meursault Prison is located on an island surrounded by the sea. It is equipped with the most advanced technology and powerful superpower shielding devices, and all dangerous superpower people are imprisoned there.
The transporter received the task and carried Fyodor, who had been injected with anesthetic, into the car. Behind him, another figure followed him into the car.
The transporter looked over, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he pointed at the man in disbelief: "You, you..."
The man was wearing a red military police uniform, with his blue-gray hair pushed down by a hat. His face looked very familiar, as the transport personnel had seen him half a month ago.
Heterochromia eyes, smiling face.
Isn't this the "fortune teller" that was transported earlier?!
Why is he wearing military police uniform?
No, why was this guy allowed to get in the car?
In front of them, Yun Xiji seemed completely unaware of their resistance and greeted them with a narrowed eyelid: "Hello again."
Suddenly, the transporter recalled Yun Xiji's words: "The prophecy tells me that we will meet again."
The transporter suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
——It doesn’t have to be so accurate!!
