45 Chapter 45
◎【The pain value has been reduced to negative.】◎
Mu Ye Xue Che has already started to act alone.
In the alley, the young man holding a black umbrella turned around, his golden eyes fixed on the person in front of him. "Where's the intelligence?"
“It’s all here.”
Oguri Mushitaro's special ability was removed, and everyone who came into contact with Agency No. 7 was affected. This matter caused a huge uproar. Murasaki Yukito could buy a lot of information with a little investigation in the other world, but he could not find or buy any information about Meursault.
It was through the introduction of several partners who had provided intelligence previously that Mu Ye Xue Che found the person who provided information about Meursault.
That person's name is——
[Xiaoyun Customer Service]
Ye Yueshen paused and scanned the ID.
Familiar numbers and ID, this is Yun Xiji's account.
He didn't control Yun Xiji to use this account at all, so why did this account start chatting with him on its own?
Is it haunted?
Or... my account was hacked.
Mu Ye Xue Che observed the information dealer in front of him. He was wearing a mask with a black hood that just covered his face, so his face could not be seen at all. However, his figure looked slightly familiar.
Was his account really hacked?
Ye Yue Shen fell into deep thought.
Very weird.
This account is bound to Yun Xiji's card, and the deposit paid by Mu Ye Xue Che was deposited into Yun Xiji's account.
What does the hacker want? To help him make money?
"This is a map... and this is how to get into the prison." The information dealer showed him the map. "It's all here."
This [Xiaoyun Customer Service] required the transaction to be done offline. Fortunately, both of them were in Yokohama. After agreeing on a meeting place, they successfully met within two hours.
Mu Ye Xue Che took the map and other information from Meursault, and paid the balance in front of the other party.
The boy raised his chin slightly: "You can go now."
The information and money are already in hand.
From one sock puppet to another, in other words, this information was obtained for free.
"I have another piece of information here." The other party suddenly changed the subject. "If you're interested..."
“Beep.”
The alley was small and the ringing of the phone reached the ears of both people clearly. Mu Ye Xueche paused and picked up the phone.
The contact person above is [Kunikida].
Why are you calling at this time?
Ye Yue Shen thought for a moment, is the game over?
The information dealer who stole his number was standing in front of him. If he answered the phone in front of the other party, it might become the specific content of the next intelligence.
He was still not connected, and the intermittent ringing of the phone kept urging him.
"Go wait for me outside." Mu Ye Xue Che's tone left no room for doubt.
The information dealer did not refuse: "Okay."
The intelligence dealer looked at Murasakibara Xuetetsu for a second longer. A strand of white hair emerged from under his hood and was quickly retracted. He walked out of the alley and leaned against the wall at the corner. From this position, he could only hear Murasakibara Xuetetsu's voice, and could not hear the voice of Kunikida Doppo on the other end of the phone at all.
The moment the call was connected, Kunikida Doppo asked, "Muye? Where are you?"
Mu Ye Xue Che glanced at the entrance of the alley and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Is the game over?"
"It's over now, you can come back."
"I have something else to do, I'll be back later."
Kunikida Doppo was silent for two seconds: "Are you going to act alone?"
His tone was no longer as anxious as before the call, and he spoke slowly, "The president has already gone to negotiate with the Special Ability Department. Any unauthorized action we take now might affect the president's plans."
"I haven't taken any action yet."
“…”
Kunikida Doppo understood the implication of his words, which was that he had an idea, but his call came just in time to stop Kurome Xueche.
After spending a long time with Mu Ye Xue Che, even my brain can translate automatically.
Every time something happens, Mu Ye Xue Che pretends to be completely indifferent, but in fact he will act secretly behind the scenes.
"Muye." Kunikida Doppo's tone suddenly became serious.
Mu Ye Xue Che was stunned.
"You have to be careful," the voice on the other end of the phone said. "No matter what happens, always prioritize your own safety."
Mu Ye Xue Che's expression was strange for a second.
"I see."
This tone of admonishment...
Kunikida Doppo said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
The information dealer who hacked the account was very professional and waited until Mu Ye Xue Che finished his call before walking in. He continued the previous topic: "The new information I was about to tell you is something only I know until now~"
Mu Ye Xue Che decisively took out the money: "You say."
The man in front of him laughed oddly, "There's a big problem in detective society."
The ending of his tone rose slightly, as if he couldn't hide his smile.
Under Mu Ye Xue Che's instantly cold gaze, he lifted his hood, and his white braids broke free and fell behind him, "Don't worry."
Mu Ye Xue Che attacked the opponent without thinking. For a moment, the information he had just obtained floated down, and the floor plans and information swayed, just blocking Mu Ye Xue Che's sight.
It's Gogol, the guy who is in cahoots with the demon and has the ability to teleport.
Gogol smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions."
Faced with a psychic who could teleport, Mu Ye Xue Che, who had poor vision, had no way of locking onto his landing point and could only rely on luck to attack.
This Gogol had no intention of fighting with him at all. He left a message by teleporting, and he kept talking in Mu Ye Xue Che's ear. Mu Ye Xue Che had no way to deal with him, and his face became worse and worse.
Gogol's laughter echoed in the alley.
Before disappearing, the other party said lightly: "Don't worry, the content of the transaction just now is all true~"
The clown who was making so much noise just now suddenly disappeared.
“…”
In an instant, the alley became quiet.
The boy stood in the alley with a black umbrella, the floor plan of Meursault Prison scattered on the ground at his feet.
His golden pupils were as cold as ice, and he stood there expressionlessly.
After a moment, he squatted down and picked up the information.
Ye Yueshen controlled the pseudonym Yun Xiji. Yun Xiji was in the monitoring room at the moment. He slowly opened his eyes, as if thinking about something.
He turned on the phone screen and tapped on it.
This is the punishment for his defection. Gogol's action is not concealed at all. His meeting with Mu Ye Xue Che will soon be discovered. The other party used his account to accept the order, and the official investigation will eventually lead to Yun Xiji.
Yun Xiji didn't care.
He is not afraid of being checked for this pseudonym.
He defected from Hound, so it's normal for him to hook up with his former company.
And his location is very clear, he is in Meursault, and the hounds can come at any time if they want to catch him.
Meursault felt that Yun Xiji was alone and could be easily dealt with, so he did not ask for help.
Yun Xiji supported his chin and turned his head far away.
Behind him lay a group of prison guards from Meursault Prison, all of whom were sent by the prison to capture him.
In front of Yun Xiji was a huge surveillance camera, monitoring Fyodor and Dazai Osamu from multiple angles. He sat alone in front of the control panel.
"Can you give me a book?" Dazai Osamu asked suddenly.
Yun Xiji lowered his head and continued looking at his phone.
"Mr. Prison Officer, I know you're listening."
Yun Xiji was indeed listening.
He slowly raised his head and turned on the speaker in the monitoring room. A buzzing sound came from the speaker, followed by Yun Xiji's voice: "No."
Simple and clear.
After saying this, he cut off the speaker.
Outside the monitoring room, the prison staff tried to find his weakness: "Doesn't he need to sleep?"
"Yes... but he's very lucky and always wakes up before we can carry out our plans."
The subordinate guessed: "He probably modified his luck."
The other party was lucky enough to completely avoid the attack they set.
“…”
The prison authorities almost burst into curses.
Being able to modify the probability of reality, isn’t that cheating!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate again and report back!"
Unlike the battle of wits and courage between Meursault and Yun Xiji, the Special Ability Agent Department began to be in a state of panic.
The pages were stolen.
Ango Sakaguchi looked at the things he had to deal with and felt his eyes go dark.
It's just an all-night work...
Ango Sakaguchi let out a breath and finally could only pour himself a cup of coffee.
————
Only a quarter of the page is available for writing.
Sigma was pressed into a chair, holding a pen: "What do you want to write?"
"How about writing about the fallout of the detective agency?" Gogol asked excitedly.
The pages of a book can modify the cognition of most people, but the more familiar and trusted a person is, the less likely they are to be affected by the changes in the pages.
Problems would easily arise if the detective agency fell apart.
Sigma: "Is this what Fyodor told you?"
He was skeptical. Only Gogol could contact Fyodor in prison, and all the other party's words and arrangements would be conveyed to Gogol.
Gogol looked innocent: "Fejia did say that."
Sigma picked up his pen and began to write, letting the detective agency fall apart. This matter could be written by using the arrest of Dazai Osamu as an excuse. A quarter of the space was just used up. If he wrote about other things, there might still be some space missing.
Sigma put away his pen.
The page's effect takes effect.
He glanced at the page with a complicated expression.
Fitzgerald had written so much before but failed, so the chances of success this time seemed very slim.
Unexpectedly, it worked.
But it was only half successful.
Yokohama Street.
Fukuzawa Yukichi was walking back to the detective agency. Cats on the street were circling him, but he didn't look away. He just took out some dried fish.
The cat was hard-hearted and refused to get close to him.
Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his eyes and stood there motionless with no expression.
"President." Kunikida Dopo came to greet him. He looked at the cat in the distance, adjusted his glasses, and changed the subject. "Did the Special Ability Department say anything?"
"The Special Ability Division has agreed to allow us to bring the person back," Fukuzawa Yukichi replied, "but it will take a week."
"The 'fortune teller' has infiltrated Meursault Prison. The prison authorities are trying to capture him and have sealed all the exits."
Kunikida Doppo slowly asked, "A fortune teller? Sneaking into a prison?"
It was the first time he saw a wanted criminal go to prison on his own initiative.
"I've already contacted someone, Dazai won't be treated badly over there."
Kunikida Doppo withdrew his thoughts and the two walked back to the detective agency. When they approached the door of the detective agency, they heard a sound coming from inside the house.
"Three hundred thousand yen a month." It was the voice of Murasakibara Xueche.
"I'll pay."
Kunikida Doppo:
What kind of money does Mu Ye Xue Che want to pay?
When the two pushed the door open, they found Mu Ye Xue Che standing in the middle of the detective agency, surrounded by a circle of men in black.
It was just like the first time we met, like the mafia came to mess things up.
The boy heard the sound at the door and slowly raised his eyes to look over. His expression was cold and a little arrogant. "This is my fee for joining the detective agency."
Other members of the detective agency: "..."
Fukuzawa Yukichi & Kunikida Doppo:? ? ?
【This is a comedy show...】
[Sorry, I'm guilty. I'm still questioning the hilariousness of this show. What kind of good person's first reaction after realizing they've fallen out with their company is to spend money and find a way back?]
1L[Kuroba Xuetetsu and the Detective Agency are true love]
2L [You'd rather spend money to stay, Muye, you bastard...]
3L [Everyone else is confused hahahaha]
4L [The Five Decays of Heaven and Man: Make the most of the remaining pages and reduce the power of the detective agency
Murasaki Ye Xue Tetsu: Detective agency? Where is the detective agency? I want to join!]
5L [Laughing so hard I want to die]
6L [The moment the book page took effect, Mu Ye Xue Che suddenly realized that he had a tangle and hatred with the detective agency. After being in disbelief, he still wanted to stay?]
7L [What kind of CP is this? Murasaki Yukito x Detective Agency? I'll be the first to support it.]
8L [You guys really love weird couples, the couple should at least be two people, right?]
9L [I thought Mu Ye wouldn't be affected by the pages of the book... But in his understanding, the detective agency is actually counted separately from its members.]
10L [There will be many members of the detective agency, and they may change and evolve, but there is only one 'detective agency' located in Yokohama that brings spiritual sustenance to nine-year-old Mu Ye]
11L[ww小暮叶]
12L [I understand, detective agency toxicity]
[……]
When the pages of the book took effect, Hazuki Shin began acting.
This time, the knife is Mu Ye Xue Che's attitude towards the detective agency.
He scanned the forum and found that there was no discussion of the knife at all.
This audience can't even find a knife to eat by themselves?
Then you can only feed it manually.
[Muye Xueche was affected by the pages of the book because he was lonely]
As the title suggests, the book pages have little effect on people who trust each other and are very familiar with each other. In the entire detective agency, only Murasaki Ye Xue Che is affected, which shows that he has not yet fully integrated into the detective agency. This is loneliness...
Ye Yueshen wrote a lot and clicked send after editing.
1L[The host is lonely again]
2L[I seem to have strayed into the Lonely God Cult]
3L [Is the OP a lone pusher? The goal is to make every character possess the trait of loneliness]
Ye Yueshen was at a loss, and before he could think about it, he urgently made amends: [Mu Ye Xue Che has not yet opened up to anyone, and prefers to act alone.]
5L [According to the original poster's statement, everyone must be very lonely. Besides Tuo Zong, who else in this show can confide in others?]
6L [Feodor's heart-to-heart talk... means you have to surrender your thoughts and then die?]
7L [I think what the original poster said makes some sense. Mu Ye is the only one affected by the detective agency. Mu Ye still can't fully trust everyone.]
8L [Wait, only Mu Ye was caught, the detective agency wouldn't have misunderstood, right? —Tonic]
The detective agency was still unclear about the situation, and they looked at Mu Ye Xue Che blankly as he paid to go to work.
Fukuzawa Yukichi remained silent and refused, "Kuroba-kun, you are already a member of the detective agency."
"What's wrong with Murasakibara-kun?" Nakajima Atsushi was confused.
After the reasoning competition ended, Mu Ye Xue Che strolled around outside and returned to the detective agency. His attitude suddenly changed and he brought a group of bodyguards with him.
Mu Ye Xue Che directly offered the money and made his position clear: "I want to stay in the detective agency."
"Leave?"
When the detective agency was confused, Edogawa Ranpo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kurome Yukiteru.
"He was influenced," said Edogawa Ranpo.
Murasaki Yukito, who was standing in the middle of the detective agency, turned his head to look over, paused slightly when he touched the snacks on Edogawa Ranpo's desk, and then looked away nonchalantly.
The famous detective put on his glasses and stared at Murasakibara Xueche with his emerald green eyes.
He couldn't even tell what had affected Mu Ye Xue Che.
But the other party's attitude changed so suddenly...
Kunikida Doppo followed his thoughts: "Is it a special ability?"
"no."
The supernatural power could not explain all the doubts about Mu Ye Xue Che. Those doubts seemed to be covered by a layer of fog and could not be seen clearly no matter what.
"Is there something wrong with Muye-kun's memory?"
"There's nothing wrong with my memory." Mu Ye Xue Che replied.
He said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you listening to me?"
The suitcase on the table was opened, revealing the cash brought by Mu Ye Xue Che.
The scene was so evocative that even Fukuzawa Yukichi remained silent for a long time. When he realized it was his turn to speak, he refused, saying, "The detective agency won't accept these."
He emphasized to Muye Xueche: "Muye-kun, you are a member of the detective agency."
Everyone thought that Murasakiba Xuetetsu was affected by something, causing cognitive or memory problems. Nakajima Atsushi also said: "You don't need to pay to work at the detective agency."
"Yeah." Edogawa Ranpo nodded. He asked, "You're worried, what are you worried about?"
Concerned and worried looks were cast at him.
Mu Ye Xue Che, who originally had some pride, stiffened little by little. He could hardly hide his malice and looked down at everyone.
He said, "It's hypocritical."
“…”
Kunikida Doppo pondered, "It seems there's something wrong with my cognition."
Mu Ye Xue Che: “.”
What's the difference between this and punching cotton?
Mu Ye Xue Che was annoyed.
He made a harsh remark and fled the detective agency with his bodyguards.
It's so scary, my enemy suddenly starts to care about me...
On the way home, Mu Ye Xue Che leaned against the car window and looked into the distance.
Ye Yue Shen is reviewing the game.
He felt that the detective agency's attitude was mild now because they were not sure why Mu Ye Xue Che had changed.
When the detective agency finds out that Mu Ye Xue Che's cognition was modified by the book pages and that he no longer takes everyone in the detective agency seriously, it will definitely be a major crisis of trust!
Ye Yueshen glanced at the pain value: [-40%]
He closed it immediately.
There is no need to look at it anymore. The pain value has no reference value until it returns to a positive number.
He was thinking when a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
[Hello?] An electronic voice, different from the primary system, rang out. The system, having been away for several months, happily returned and announced loudly and prominently to Ye Yueshen, [I'm back! I can stay here for a while longer this time!]
The confidence that Ye Yueshen had just built up was like a punctured balloon, disappearing in an instant, and what followed was guilt.
The system failed to wait for the host's reply and was greeted by a long silence.
It was a little confused: [Ye Yue? Can't you hear it? ]
Is there something wrong with its language module?
[…I can hear it.]
The system glanced at the tense atmosphere in the detective agency and subconsciously thought that he was still immersed in his acting and had not yet been able to extricate himself.
It nodded with satisfaction: [How did the mission go? ]
Hazuki Shin: [……]
【very good. 】
He replied: [The pain value has been reduced to a negative number.]
The system, caught off guard by this sentence, responded: [???]
It crashed for a while and was unable to respond to the meaning of this sentence for a long time.
Negative number? ?
The system opened the pain value list with confusion, suspicion, and disbelief.
-40%
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then, the pain value changed in front of the two of them.
-41%
The system's cheerful tone vanished, replaced by a shriek of despair: [Pain Value!! Why did it drop?! ...
Ye Yueshen felt guilty and looked away.
————
The system is shutting down.
It read through all the forum content and watched the animation produced by the primary system from the perspective of the audience.
The system's mood is neither up nor down.
It tries to find what went wrong.
But I just couldn't find it.
Ye Yue Shen failed in his mission - half of it was because he was coincidentally spotted by the target.
[Host.] The system said solemnly, [Have you ever considered using Yun Xiji's special ability to improve your luck?]
Ye Yue Shen: [Is it okay? ]
[…Then the Yunxiji vest can be torn off in advance.]
Use your special ability on Ye Yue Shen, and he will fall into a long sleep until the next cycle begins.
The system thought about it.
Even more desperate.
Is there still a chance for us to turn the tables?
Ye Yueshen said: [Didn't one of you hosts manage to counterattack even when his stats hit negative numbers?]
Ye Yue Shen cleverly hides the specific value of the negative number.
The system was surprised: [Ah? Which one?]
Ye Yue Shen: [I don't know either. What the primary system told me, I mean, system, we still have a chance.]
The system listened and then became alert: [I'll help you write the script!]
Meursault Prison.
Yunxiji was still under siege, and this situation lasted for a full 24 hours.
The prison couldn't understand his intentions, but if they continued like this, Yun Xiji would definitely be the loser in the end.
The warden initially planned to starve Yun Xiji to see if he would starve to death.
It was not until he checked the prison's overall surveillance that he discovered that Yun Xiji actually dared to come out in broad daylight to look for food.
The point is - no one discovered him!
The probability of modifying reality, this extremely buggy ability.
"The warden wants to have a chat with him." The messenger outside the door said, "Can I come in?"
The guard looked at him with pity: "Go in."
The messenger pushed open the door.
The monitoring room in this area is specially used to monitor Fyodor and Dazai Osamu. The space is spacious and the screen is three meters high. Only the screen emits light and shines down.
There was a person sitting at the table in the monitoring room.
The man was watching the surveillance video with the loudspeaker on, as if he was chatting with the prisoner under surveillance.
