"I seem to have lost something very important." Tanizaki Junichiro kept muttering while looking at his hands, "What is it?"

"What have I lost?"

Naomi Tanizaki tugged at her brother's sleeve, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Let me go!"

"Tanizaki!" Kunikida Dupo couldn't stand it anymore. He walked over and pulled Tanizaki Naomi away. "Don't be violent with your sister! What's wrong with you? Isn't Naomi a family member you always cherish?"

Tanizaki Junichiro did not answer. He seemed to have directly filtered out the word "sister". His eyes were blank and innocent. Hinata Hajime saw too many things in Tanizaki Junichiro's eyes. There was doubt in his light blue eyes, and Hinata Hajime spoke in his heart.

[Is it a desperate incident? ]

【That’s right.】

【Through the phone call just now? In that case, what we saw at the port mafia yesterday was also displayed on the computer screen.】

【Um.】

So, it was another desperate incident, a desperate incident that he and Shenzuo had investigated yesterday but had not had time to continue investigating!

Hinata Hajime hurried over and said, "Wait a minute, Tanizaki is probably being eroded by despair."

"What?" Kunikida Dopo was stunned for a moment, "Despair?"

"It's probably something similar." Hinata Hajime put Kunikida Doppo and Tanizaki Naomi behind him, and then faced Tanizaki Junichiro, "Tanizaki, do you still recognize me?"

Tanizaki Junichiro and Hinata Hajime looked at each other, and after a moment he suddenly pressed his temple with a look of pain on his face. He let out a scream, and the environment in front of him changed abruptly. As extreme despair eroded into his heart, his supernatural powers began to go out of control. Seeing this, Dazai Osamu hurried over, and under Dazai Osamu's control, the Armed Detective Agency did not completely fall into an illusion.

But now Tanizaki Junichiro is no longer able to communicate. He keeps shouting in despair that "something important has disappeared", but he ignores Tanizaki Naomi.

"Brother!" Tanizaki Naomi almost cried out, "Brother, look at me."

Tanizaki Junichiro did not look back, he just kept collapsing.

In desperation, the Armed Detective Agency had to temporarily control Tanizaki Junichiro, and they and Yosano Akiko gave him a sufficient amount of anesthetic to make him sleep temporarily, hoping that he would not wake up within a day.

Before falling asleep, everyone saw the condition of Junichiro Tanizaki.

He was trapped in a hospital bed, his eyes were empty and desperate. He stared at a small dot on the wall and kept muttering the same words. Even people who didn't know what happened could see the indescribable despair in Junichiro Tanizaki when they came here.

Naomi Tanizaki sat nearby with tears in her eyes.

"Brother, what happened to him?"

"It's despair, right?" Kunikida looked at Hinata Hajime alone.

"It's similar to despair, but it's fundamentally different from despair." Hinata Hajime frowned slightly. "If despair is to dig out the despair in a person's heart and magnify it, then this is to clear out the most beautiful faith and happiness in a person's heart, leaving only an unfillable hole."

Kunikida Dopo frowned for a moment, "That's too much."

"Moreover, this despair can be transmitted through communications," Hinata Hajime added.

Yosano Akiko raised her eyebrows slightly, "What about the phone call that Tanizaki just received?"

"Yes, that's it."

The virus spreads through the phone like a midnight ring. The person who receives the call will lose the most important thing in his life and fall into an uncontrollable emptiness because of the emptiness, and eventually do extreme things. This is truly a desperate communication.

"But why did this call come to the detective agency?" Dazai Osamu asked delicately, "We haven't received any similar reports of paranormal incidents caused by telephone communications, right?"

"Indeed, there isn't one." Yoseno Akiko nodded. "If there was, I would have seen it a long time ago. I'm really looking forward to dissecting a ghost."

Hinata Hajime: ...

Even at this point, he was still amazed at Akiko Yoshino's courage.

"Yokohama is not as big as we thought. If such an incident happened, it should be easy to spread. However, even those of us who are well-informed did not receive the news. This can only mean two things." Dazai Osamu said: "First, this incident just happened, and it happened in a place like Raibo Street that has nothing to do with us."

"Second, someone is deliberately hiding it."

[Dazai Osamu's judgment is still so high. He will probably guess it's the port mafia right away.] Hinata Hajime couldn't help but talk to Kamukura Izuru.

【You have said the same thing 7 different ways.】

Implicit meaning: shut up.

Hinata Hajime: ...

Why couldn't he remember his lesson? If he talked to Kamukura Izuru when he had nothing to do, he would only be ridiculed.

Naomi Tanizaki cried as she looked at them, "Please, save my brother."

"We will save him, Naomi, no worries." Kunikida Dopo quickly comforted Tanizaki Naomi, "Trust us, we will resolve this matter quickly. Okay, everyone, get moving. Doctor Yosano and I will stay to watch over Tanizaki, and we will go out to look for clues."

Dazai Osamu smiled, walked out of the Armed Detective Agency's door, and whispered to Hinata Hajime while waiting for the elevator.

"Hinata-kun, it's the port mafia, right?"

Hinata Hajime nodded hesitantly, "It's very likely."

"That's true. The only organization that could hide for so long without revealing its true identity is the Port Mafia. Mr. Mori is a very cautious person. I was wondering why the Port Mafia has suddenly become so well behaved, and even Zhong has secretly returned."

"There may be many problems within the Port Mafia," said Hinata Hajime.

Upon hearing this, Dazai Osamu asked with interest, "Is it as tragic as the last orphanage?"

Hinata Hajime: ...

Dazai Osamu, what's with that look of anticipation? How evil is the port mafia that you have to listen to your former boss' embarrassing stories after changing your career? Are you looking forward to your former company's misfortune?

"…I think that since even the Armed Detective Agency received the call, the Port Mafia may be unable to control themselves, so they said that."

"That's right." Dazai nodded seriously, "I've made up my mind. Now I'm going to watch the port mafia get into trouble! Leave the information collection there to me, and you can check elsewhere, Hinata-kun."

Dazai Osamu said this with a look of good mood, humming a song as he walked away.

[Dazai Osamu always reveals that he was once a villain in various places.] Hinata Hajime sighed.

[It’s obvious.]

[But I don’t think anyone in the Armed Detective Agency noticed.]

[Because those people also come from strange places to some extent.]

Hinata Hajime thought about those people and nodded to show that he understood. Talented people have unique experiences. Even Miyazawa Kenji can judge what the weather will be like tomorrow and can talk to cows. If he was in Hope's Peak Academy, he would probably be given the title of a super high school level agronomist.

With his hands in the pockets of his black coat, Hinata Hajime walked out alone. He turned to the place where he appeared last night and walked forward bit by bit following his memory.

Finally, Hinata Hajime walked to a blockade, and not far away was the ruins of an explosion.

This is the location of the explosion that Hinata Hajime saw last night.

[After confirming that it was a despair incident, I suddenly remembered this explosion. If this was not an accident, but was done by someone who was eroded by despair, then it makes sense.] Hinata Hajime stretched his legs across the yellow interception line and walked into the ruins. [There may be clues here.]

Kamukura Izuru looked at the still smoking ruins with a look of boredom in his eyes, "As expected, despair is also boring."

[Despair and boredom are good things for you.] Hinata Hajime was very optimistic, [If you were interested in despair, I would be worried. It's great that you have no feelings for hope and no thoughts about despair.]

Kamizuru closed his eyes, [Don't you want my help? ]

[No, if you have to choose one side, I hope you stay the way you are now. Although your talent is very useful, you can still survive without it, and I can't always rely on you.] Hinata Hajime walked through the ruins to a reef area, [Imperial Throne, I hope you don't listen to me, but make your own decision.]

【Not interested.】

Hinata Hajime sighed slightly. He knew that when Kamijou Izuru said he was not interested, he did not mean that he was bored with making decisions, but that the things in this world made him not interested in making choices.

At this moment, Hinata Hajime suddenly felt that he had stepped on something. He lifted his foot and saw a corner of a half-burnt black memory card.

Hinata Hajime: ...

[However, the talent of luck is still incredibly useful. ]

Pulling out the black memory card, Hinata Hajime walked out with the card, "Kamizu, this card must have survived from the destroyed computer, and it's probably damaged a bit. Can you restore it? Not too much, just most of it will be fine."

【Can.】

【Then I'll leave it to you. 】

Although Hinata Hajime can also use his talents in the heterochromatic eyes state, he is ultimately not as good as Kamizura Izuryu. He also hopes that Kamizura Izuryu can participate in these things and want Kamizura Izuryu to leave a mark.

Human death is divided into three steps: the first step is physical death, the second step is identity death, and the third step is social death.

Hinata Hajime wants Kamijou Izuru to exist in this world a little longer.

…

Izuru Hope's God, who was fully shaped by Hope's Peak Academy, is even better than expected. He can save all the brain-dead members of the 77th class in a short period of time, and of course he can restore a small damaged memory card.

The data recovery was not completed until noon. Kamukura Izuru stopped typing on the keyboard, and the screen in front of him was reflected in his red eyes.

[Is it OK? ]

Kamijou Izuru didn't answer, he just pressed the play button directly, and the next moment a video appeared on the screen. Hinata Hajime looked at the angle and direction of the shooting and confirmed that it was the information department of the port mafia that they had visited last night, but at that time the information department was not completely dark.

In the video, two information department staff were chatting and laughing while sorting out data. At this moment, one of them suddenly received a call.

"Hello, this is the Information Department." Hinata Hajime said after hearing one of them answer the phone.

At this moment, the person who answered the call suddenly stood up. His eyes gradually became empty and blank. The phone fell from his hand. He looked at the computer screen. His face was reflected on the dark green screen.

"I seem to have lost something important." said the man.

"What on earth have I lost? It's so painful and uncomfortable."

My colleague took off his headphones and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Who stole my things?" The man grabbed his colleague by the collar. "Is it you? Did you steal it? Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

The colleague was frightened by him and crawled out of his hand, leaving the man alone searching in the room. After a moment, he took out a wooden handle from the drawer and aimed the wooden handle at the surveillance camera. On the screen where snowflakes kept flashing, Hinata Hajime still saw his desperate and painful eyes.

With a bang, the video ends.

Hinata Hajime confirmed that it was the same disease as Tanizaki Junichiro.
