54 Chapter 54
◎I was stabbed: ^^ holding the knife◎
The fog did not spread very fast, only a few meters faster than Shibusawa Ryuhiko's own speed of climbing the mountain. Only the organizations at the foot of the mountain were affected.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko picked a path and walked up it. He heard the sound of quarreling in front of him.
"Wow, are Port Mafia just sneaking around behind other people?"
"Who are you calling sneaky?"
"Is there a second Mafia member here?"
Through the layers of trees, Shibusawa Ryuhiko looked far ahead. An orange-haired man was standing alone opposite the detective agency. The atmosphere seemed very discordant.
Chuuya Nakahara didn't expect that by following the path pointed out by Hayato Himuro, he would actually run into the detective agency head-on. The paths they were going to take extended from different directions and intersected here.
They met by chance, and Dazai Osamu from the detective agency started to mock them as soon as they disagreed.
Nakahara Chuuya lowered the brim of his hat.
Kunikida Doppo asked, "Are the Mafia here to fight for the pages?"
Nakahara Chuuya nodded slightly: "Of course."
Everyone who comes here has only one purpose, which is to get the pages. Even the Port Mafia is no exception. However, their purpose in getting the pages is not to change reality, but to gain benefits.
He twitched the corners of his lips, his cobalt blue eyes scanning the people in front of him sharply, "You want to get rid of me, your competitor, in advance?"
It's simply a fantasy.
"Of course not." It was Dazai Osamu who spoke. His gaze suddenly passed over Nakahara Chuuya and looked behind him, staring at the small mist rising from the bushes, thoughtfully, "It's not that we want to kill you."
"Someone wants to wipe us out."
The fog slowly spread up and immediately enveloped Nakahara Chuuya and the detective agency.
This familiar mist—
"Ryuhiko Shibusawa?" Nakajima Atsushi's eyes suddenly widened.
How is that possible? Isn't Ryuhiko Shibusawa in the Special Ability Department?
He sneaked out?!
Thinking of this possibility, Nakajima Atsushi instantly tensed up. The mist separated his special abilities, and everything in front of him was white.
In the fog that made it impossible to see the situation clearly, Nakajima Atsushi heard a sigh:
"What he said is true..."
What is true and what is false?
Nakajima Atsushi turned his head and suddenly met Shibusawa Ryuhiko's eyes. His eyes were particularly bright in the mist.
“!!”
Shibusawa Ryuhiko smiled and extended his hand to him.
Before Nakajima Atsushi could react, he was suddenly grabbed and thrown to the side. A sharp and invisible blade attacked the place where the two had just stood. Because the two dodged in time, the blade passed over the empty place but did not stop, and continued to rush towards Shibusawa Ryuhiko.
Ryuhiko Shibusawa watched helplessly as the attack from the psychic came towards him.
He slightly moved aside and barely avoided the attack.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko felt a little regretful. He looked at Nakajima Atsushi steadily and said, "I have important things to do. I can't stay here and play house with you guys anymore."
"We'll see you at the top of the mountain, Atsu-kun."
Nakajima Atsushi was stunned.
"play house……?"
Will the playing house be killed by his own supernatural powers?
Shibusawa Ryuhiko turned around, waved at him, and walked away.
Just as he turned his back, a dagger suddenly flew towards Shibusawa Ryuhiko!
But the next second, a tiger with a blue glow all over its body appeared behind Shibusawa Ryuhiko. The dagger hit its body and it was like hitting an iron surface, and it bounced off with a clang.
The girl landed nimbly, quickly picked up the dagger and retreated.
Nakajima Atsushi wanted to say something, but Murasakibara Xueche, who had just pulled him away from the attack, suddenly said, "Look up."
Nakajima Atsushi belatedly raised his head.
In addition to the Moon Beast in front of him, there is also the supernatural body of Kurome Yukie and Yasha Shirayuki of Izumi Kyoka above him.
They were surrounded by mutants——
The moment the fog rose, the detective agency realized that something was wrong, and they immediately implemented the same strategy as last time: taking turns to fight each other's superpowers.
"Where are Atsu-kun and the others?" Tanizaki Junichiro noticed something strange.
Kunikida Dopo looked around, but there was no sign of Nakajima Atsushi and the other two.
They were clearly standing nearby just now.
Did he get separated from the detective agency? Or was he taken away by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko?
The mutant suddenly began to attack, and Kunikida Doppo stopped to think. He shouted, "Get rid of the mutant first..."
"Just knock out this red gem, right?"
A voice came from the side.
Kunikida Doppo turned his head and saw Nakahara Chuuya.
The Port Mafia executive weighed it, picked up a large stone, and threw it at Kunikida Doppo's psychic body.
The stone was more than ten times bigger than the mutant body. It fell heavily, shaking the entire mountain.
The mutant was pinned under the rock and couldn't move.
Kunikida Doppo was stunned, and Nakahara Chuuya beside him urged, "Hurry up."
Only then did he react and immediately took out his gun to shoot the ruby off the mutant's body.
The joining of Chuuya Nakahara made the Armed Detective Agency deal with the mutants faster. The group of people quickly got their special abilities back. The people in the detective agency breathed a sigh of relief. Kunikida Doppo thanked Chuuya Nakahara with a serious expression.
"Haven't you found Atsushi-kun and the others yet?"
Tanizaki Junichiro tried to walk back and look, but the fog was so thick that it blocked his vision. He could not see the road he came from at all, and had no way to confirm the location of the three people.
"Where's Osamu Dazai?"
Nakahara Chuuya frowned slightly, "I saw him walking towards Shibusawa Ryuhiko when the fog started."
Four members of the detective agency went missing one after another.
Kunikida Dopo glanced behind him and immediately decided, "Keep moving forward."
Nakajima Atsushi, Kuroe Yukito and Izumi Kyoka should be able to hold on for a while. They must find Shibusawa Ryuhiko as soon as possible.
No one else had any objection. Nakahara Chuuya took a look at the forest shrouded in fog and decided to follow the detective agency.
A group of people walked towards the mountain.
The Special Ability Agent Department is also facing similar difficulties at this moment.
However, the situation on the Special Ability Agents Department is even more difficult to describe.
The prisoner secretly escaped from prison and took the initiative to appear in front of the organization that imprisoned him. Although there was no expression on Shibusawa Ryuhiko's face, the Special Ability Agent Department felt a sense of provocation for no reason.
Ryuhiko Shibusawa didn't even look at them, and he brought a cloud of mist and prepared to continue moving towards the top of the mountain.
"Ryuhiko Shibusawa!" A member of the Special Ability Agent Department called him.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko walked ahead, standing on a higher slope. He lowered his eyes to look at the person who spoke, "What's wrong?"
"How did you get out!?"
Shibusawa Ryuhiko didn't expect that his problem would be this.
“It comes naturally.”
“…”
nonsense.
What he asked was how Ryuhiko Shibusawa got out!
The guards at the observation post were strict, and it was impossible for anyone to escape without help from others...
His thoughts paused.
Of course, except Yunxiji.
When the name Yun Xiji popped up in his mind, the member of the Special Ability Agent Section suddenly froze in place. He clearly felt that his brain, which had been clogged up, suddenly went blank. All the clues were cut off at this moment. He only needed this name to get the answer -
"Did Yun Xiji help you out?"
Shibusawa Ryuhiko sneered: "You guessed it now?"
He glanced behind the member of the Special Ability Agent Department and saw that the other party's special ability body was ready to move and had already raised his weapon.
Under the gaze of Ryuhiko Shibusawa, the weapon smashed towards the member of the Special Ability Special Agent Department!
clang——!
The blade blocked the attack.
The members of the Special Ability Agent Department turned around suddenly and saw a figure standing in the fog. His red military uniform was stained by the fog. The man lowered his head. Although his special abilities were also taken away, he was still able to block the attacks with his strong physical fitness.
The members of the Special Ability Division immediately recognized them, tears welling up in their eyes: "Hound--"
Finally! We finally found the Hound Team!
He looked behind them: "Where's your captain?"
Tiaoye Caiju said slowly, "The captain and the others are heading to the top of the mountain."
The Hound Squad was not far from the Special Ability Agent Department. On the way to the top of the mountain, they suddenly heard a sound from below.
Himuro Hayato looked down from a distance and said, "It's Shibusawa Ryuhiko."
He pointed at the almost transparent mist spreading in the distance, "That's Shibusawa Ryuhiko's special ability."
"Why is Ryuhiko Shibusawa appearing here?" Everyone in the Hound Squad subconsciously looked at Yun Xiji.
Yun Xiji said innocently, "I've been with you guys the entire time today."
His tone emphasized "act together."
Fudi Yingchi looked at the spreading fog and thought for two seconds, then arranged: "Tiaoye, you and Tiechang go take a look below."
"The Special Ability Agents Department is still down there."
The Hound Squad sent two people to support the Special Ability Agent Department.
"Catch Shibusawa Ryuhiko first." said Jiono Caiju.
We can’t let Ryuhiko Shibusawa go any further.
Suehiro Tetsuji immediately pointed his sword at Shibusawa Ryuhiko, but before he could take a step, the same move was used to chop him in the back!
Suehiro Tiechang turned around to block, but the sword blade circled around and continued to rush towards his back!
By the time Suehiro Tetsuji blocked the attack from behind, Shibusawa Ryuhiko, who was still in place, had already disappeared.
The two members of the Hound Team decided to help the Special Power Agent Department solve the problem first. There were many ordinary people among the personnel sent by the Special Power Agent Department this time. The moment the fog covered the area, all the ordinary people disappeared.
Ango Sakaguchi also lost his special ability, but his special ability was not aggressive. Instead, he fled to other places.
Sakaguchi Ango reluctantly began to assist other members of the Special Ability Division.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of him. The hand was wrapped in bandages and grabbed the mutant in front of him.
The mutant disappeared with his movement, leaving only a red gem.
Ango Sakaguchi was stunned. He looked at the hand and then raised his head.
"Hi." Dazai Osamu greeted him with a smile.
Jouno Caiju paused slightly when she heard the familiar voice, "Detective Agency?"
"Where are the others?"
Dazai Osamu spread his hands: "We got separated."
He had intended to follow Ryuhiko Shibusawa, but he lost his way once he entered the fog. He kept walking forward and unexpectedly bumped into the Special Ability Agents Department.
With Dazai's presence, it became easier to deal with the mutants, and even the mutant abilities of Jyouno Caiju and Suehiro Tetsuji were successfully returned to their bodies.
Sakaguchi Ango glanced at the mist behind him and said, "Keep going up."
On the other side, Himuro Hayato and his three companions continued walking up the mountain.
The fog is still spreading.
Himuro Hayato glanced at the mist and said, "Those two men failed to stop Shibusawa Ryuhiko."
"With their abilities, they can definitely defeat their own superpowers." Fudi Yingchi was not worried about their safety. "This fog will definitely spread to the top of the mountain."
Shibusawa Ryuhiko must be dealt with.
He glanced at Yun Xiji calmly.
Why did Yun Xiji bring Shibusawa Ryuhiko here? He knew that Shibusawa Ryuhiko was uncontrollable...
"You won't be affected by Shibusawa Ryuhiko's special ability, right?" Yun Xiji suddenly asked.
Himuro Hayato raised his eyes and met his gaze.
Fudi Yingchi instantly matched his train of thought, "Yezi."
He shouted.
Okura Yezi stepped forward immediately.
"Take him with you to stop Shibusawa Ryuhiko."
Yun Xiji rescued Shibusawa Ryuhiko in order to create space.
Fukuchi Ying was thinking, cooperating with Yunxiji to arrange everything. Okura Yezi never doubted the captain's words. She turned around and began to threaten Himuro Hayato: "Be honest."
Himuro Hayato did not refuse or resist, but just looked at the two of them again.
Fudi Yingchi had the illusion that he was seen through.
Looking at the backs of the two people walking down the mountain, Yun Xiji was the first to look away, "Let's go."
"Now it's just you and me here." Yun Xiji said, "Shenwei..."
Fudi Yingchi interrupted: "You should call me captain."
Yun Xiji changed his tone: "Captain, don't you think our plan went a little too smoothly?"
Fudi Yingchi's heart skipped a beat.
"What's the plan?"
Yun Xiji was dissatisfied: "There are only two of us here, is it necessary to be so vigilant?"
First, we were not allowed to shout "Shenwei" and then we were not allowed to talk about plans.
This is a rare moment for teammates to be alone!
Fudi Yingchi: "...I'm asking what plans you have made."
Yun Xiji never revealed the plan to him, and he was just guessing based on Yun Xiji's behavior.
The young man in front of him paused, then slapped his head and said, "I forgot to tell you."
Fudi Yingchi: “.”
Yun Xiji then told him the plan: "As long as we let Shibusawa Ryuhiko trap the others, we can get the pages first."
Fudi Yingchi was silent for two seconds, then asked, "There's a nullification ability below."
Yun Xiji said, "It's not important."
The pair of heterochromatic eyes slowly turned and looked at him, "Speaking of which, you, the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, should have a plan as well, but you didn't inform me."
Fuchi Yingchi, who was suddenly questioned, said: "Our plan is to slow down and wait for others to get the pages first."
Yun Xiji immediately followed his train of thought: "And then send Gogol to steal?"
This successful "steal" made Fukuchi Yingchi pause for two seconds.
Perhaps using the word "grab" would be more vivid.
But he didn't correct Yun Xiji: "Yes."
"So that's how it is."
Yun Xiji retracted his gaze and said, "Then let's continue to move upwards."
[What if the pages are at the bottom of the mountain?] The system looked at the mountain covered in fog. [Do you want Shibusawa Ryuhiko to go down the mountain and get them for you?]
Then Ryuhiko Shibusawa might not be able to walk back at all, and would be chopped down halfway.
"Isn't that just a better strategy?" Ye Yueshen said, "After going through all this trouble, I realized my goal is right where I started. Everything I've done is in vain."
He had to start all over again, going through untold hardships to get the pages—
【This is a completely useless page. 】
The system was silent for a moment, then spoke sincerely: [Is it too late for me to make a wish now that the page is at the bottom of the mountain?]
Ye Yueshen decided to go to the forum to warm up first.
First, raise the atmosphere of the knife.
He edited the post.
[Why does this feel so tragic...]
Sometimes the more you do, the worse the results. I see Yun Xiji in this state right now, he's almost done everything he can to count everyone. Usually, in this situation, you need to take the knife.
1L [Hello, little OP, shut up]
2L [This is not tragic, this is clearly the dawn of victory]
3L[Wuwuwu, let Xiaoyun go]
4L [I was just a little panicked when reading this paragraph. According to normal logic, if it goes smoothly at the beginning, it will not go smoothly later. But after hearing what the OP said - I am even more panicked.]
5L[Production Team: Knife
Me: ^^ holding a knife]
6L [I feel like there are hints in many places, hinting that Yun Xiji will fail. Almost no one was injured where Shibusawa Ryuhiko walked, they were just slowed down. When they catch up, how will Yun Xiji get down the mountain?]
7L [Yes, the animation team deliberately skipped the specific situation of three people]
8L [Nakajima Atsushi and the other three, huh? I feel like something might go wrong without a detailed photo. I mean, Yun Xiji's plan might go wrong.]
9L [I don’t dare to look anymore…]
[……]
On the mountainside.
The three people who were separated from the detective agency are trying hard to fight against their own superpowers. They have tried to fight each other's superpowers, but these three superpowers are unexpectedly united and even have a combination skill.
Nakajima Atsushi's eyes went dark. He was hammered and flew onto the tree trunk, slowly sliding down: "How should I fight this..."
"Let's go our separate ways." Izumi Kyoka said.
"You go first. If the mutant is really determined to attack together, then you two can leave and find the detective agency, and have the detective agency come back to support me."
"There's no need to be so troublesome." Mu Ye Xue Che said.
Visibility in the fog is very low, and it is easy to get lost if you separate too far, especially in unknown terrain such as mountains and forests.
If they leave first, they may not find the detective agency, but they will definitely get lost.
"With this tree as the center, walk seven steps outward. You can clearly see the tree from this distance. Using this tree as the coordinate, you can only move within seven steps." Muye Xueche walked to the tree trunk next to Nakajima Atsushi. "If the mutants want to attack, at this distance, they can't attack everyone and can only choose a single target to attack."
Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka understood what he meant instantly. Izumi Kyoka dodged Yasha Shirayuki's attack and moved towards the tree to meet up. The three of them looked at each other and immediately dispersed.
Disperse the mutants, then exchange positions to deal with each other's mutants.
The three of them successfully dealt with the mutant.
"Keep going."
The supernatural power returned to his body and Mu Ye Xue Che exhaled. He looked at the fog in front of him, a little confused about the direction.
Izumi Kyoka arranged for Yasha Shirayuki to scout the way ahead.
Yaksha Baixue cut off the obstacles ahead, allowing the three of them to travel smoothly, but strangely, they didn't meet anyone after walking for a long time.
Not a single living person.
However, footprints appeared on the ground, and the three of them immediately began to move forward along the footprints.
After passing through layers of fog, the view in front of me finally became bright.
Nakajima Atsushi looked up and froze in place.
In front of him, all the people he could call out by name or not were there, and in the center of the group was a box.
"Is that the box containing the book pages..." Nakajima Atsushi reacted almost instantly.
The three of them went forward to reunite with the detective agency. Kunikida Doppo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them successfully return to the team. "I'm glad you're all okay."
"What's going on?" asked Nakajima Atsushi.
Why is everyone gathered around the pages?
Aren't they here to take the pages?
Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses up and said, "No one can get close to this box."
It's like there's an invisible barrier that's impossible to penetrate. The closer you get, the stronger the resistance becomes.
After discovering that they could not get close to the pages, the people who were originally preparing to fight for them decided to cooperate and find a way to break the restriction that prevented them from getting close to the pages.
First up is the Psychic Agents Division, with Ango Sakaguchi attempting to activate his psychic powers on the stones surrounding the pages, but aside from the memory of their arrival, nothing else is revealed.
Not a clue at all.
Some people from an unknown small organization also came to the top of the mountain. They looked at the box and tried to burn it with fire and strike it with lightning, but to no avail.
Nakajima Atsushi looked at it for a while, then suddenly realized: "Where is Shibusawa Ryuhiko?"
The fog stopped at the top of the mountain, but the fog was still spreading at the bottom of the mountain, which meant that Ryuhiko Shibusawa had not canceled his supernatural powers at all.
"Over there."
In the Hound Squad's encirclement, Shibusawa Ryuhiko leaned aside and looked at them lazily, "I have stopped spreading my supernatural powers. There is no need for you to keep staring at me."
Fudi Yingchi's expression was slightly condensed.
Long before he set out, Yu Yuzen had given him news about the future—
[The Rat of the Dead House took the page]
Rat of the Dead House...
It must be either Yun Xiji or Fyodor.
There are only these two candidates.
Fudi Yingchi preferred Fyodor. To be on the safe side, he watched Yunxiji move all the way to the top of the mountain.
Here they were, in a plain little box.
But none of them could get the pages. Long before others came, Fudi Yingchi and Yunxiji had tried countless times.
The next people to go up the mountain were Hound and Shibusawa Ryuhiko. Shibusawa Ryuhiko was escorted up the mountain by Himuro Hayato and Okura Yoko, and in the end he only promised: he would not use his supernatural powers on the top of the mountain.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko was very logical: "You came here for the pages, right? It's simple. If I cancel my special ability, those people will be able to come up quickly. I don't need to say much about the competitive pressure you will face by then."
Fudi Yingchi ignored him.
Following closely behind came the rest of the Hound team, the Special Abilities Division, and the Armed Detective Agency...
More and more people came, but the box containing the pages of the book remained motionless.
Dazai stared at the box for a long time, then suddenly shouted, "Atsushi-kun, give it a try."
Nakajima Atsushi pointed at himself and said, "Huh?"
But he still obeyed the order and tried it. His special ability was activated, and his tiger claws tentatively scratched the box containing the pages -
With a click.
The box broke.
The paper inside fell down lightly, and before anyone could react, a hand caught it.
Yun Xiji said: "Thank you, Nakajima Atsushi."
