Just when Hinata Sou thought the video was over, there was a crackling sound, and the snow on the screen slowly disappeared, and the damaged monitor began to run again.
On the screen, a blurry person was standing in a dark house and shouting.
"Report! Emergency! We caught the wrong person! The infected person ran away!"
"Request support! Please give the next order!"
After three seconds of silence, a female voice was heard from the other side. She seemed to be very regretful and her voice was full of seriousness.
"As an officer, I order you to destroy the data of the subordinate information department and eliminate the escaped infected."
The person who reported it trembled a little, and after a moment he nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
The blast waves continued to rush over, and this time the surveillance camera was no longer so lucky. After the crackling sound of snowflakes, there was a lasting darkness. Everything in the information department was destroyed and fell to the ground at the location of the previous explosion to hide. In this case, it was a miracle that the memory card was only burnt a little.
[Oh no!] Hinata Sou spoke, [The Port Mafia is preparing to clean up the infected person who escaped, and that person is likely the one who called the detective agency for help.]
【We must find him before the Port Mafia does! 】
Kamiya Izuru put away the memory card and walked out the door in one direction.
Although his face still doesn't show any characteristics, under normal circumstances, Kamuzura Deru will obey Hinata Hajime's wishes, because doing anything is boring, so just do it.
Kamuzuru Izuru always has this idea.
Where are we going?
【Find the person you are looking for. 】
Hinata Hajime was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "When did you check?"
【In the middle of repairing this card. 】
The call to the Armed Detective Agency contained the despair virus, which caused Junichiro Tanizaki to despair, but the number was an ordinary number, and it was a very simple matter to check the source of the number. It was just that half a day had passed since Junichiro Tanizaki was infected, which was enough for a person to run a long distance.
When it comes to finding someone to go to Kamijou, Izuru is much stronger than Hinata Hajime, so Hinata Hajime didn't bother him much.
Taking a taxi to the location he had found before, Kamiya Izuru put his hands in his pockets and walked forward calmly, as if he was not looking around or at the road.
This is the outskirts of the Port Mafia, not far from the Mafia headquarters. Although it is not unpopulated, not many people come here. For ordinary people, the Port Mafia is a place they don't want to mess with, so most of the people living nearby are people who have a connection with the Port Mafia.
For example, the family building of members of the port mafia.
Kamukura Izuru turned and walked towards the family building. The downstairs, which was supposed to be guarded by someone, was empty. Kamukura Izuru walked in easily. The surroundings were empty and he could not see anything. Kamukura Izuru stepped into the elevator. The buttons inside the elevator were stained with red blood.
He pressed the button to the top floor without a care in the world, watched the elevator door close, and then went up to the top floor in the silent elevator.
Ding Dong.
The elevator door opened and Kamijou Izuru took a step forward. He put his hands in his pockets and walked to the railing. He looked at the sky outside, and the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in his red eyes.
[Is this the place? ]
Kamukura Izuru didn't answer, he just turned around and looked around, and after a moment he walked to a place and stood still.
A simulated image played in Kamizuru Izuru's mind.
The man who lost something important and fell into despair escaped from the Port Mafia. His heart was empty and he wanted to cry in pain, but even so, he subconsciously walked towards the location of the person he cherished, so he came to this family building.
After knowing that he had escaped, the high-ranking Mafia members who had been deployed in advance dispersed the people in the family building in advance and then waited for him to come.
The man longed to climb up to this floor. When he reached the top floor, he found that no matter how hard he looked, he could not find the thing he cherished in his heart.
His mind, which was blurred by despair, suddenly remembered something, and he called the Armed Detective Agency directly. The sniper who had been deployed immediately opened his sniper's position when he saw him making a call, but the bullet missed, and the man managed to hold on to Tanizaki to answer the phone. This was also the origin of Tanizaki's scream on the phone.
Then the man ran downstairs, pressed the button for the elevator, but was pierced by the second bullet that followed him.
【He was silenced.】
The red eyes slowly faded and turned back to light green. Hinata Sou slowly backed away, leaning against the railing with a bit of emptiness in his eyes.
"Silence?" Hinata Sou closed his eyes. "Is this the measure that the Port Mafia has used to keep this a secret for so long?"
As long as the disease cannot be controlled, the infected people will be eliminated, and all the diseases will be completely trapped within the Port Mafia. Hinata Hajime can't tell whether it is good or bad. This is cruel, but it does keep the accident completely within the Port Mafia and does not spread.
There is always a gap between reality and ideals. Hinata Hajime has always known this. However, when he sees the tragedy of reality, he always falls into helpless sorrow.
'We' are being pushed by reality.
【This is the best way. 】
[I know. If it were me, I probably wouldn't even think of this method.] Hinata Hajime turned and walked onto the elevator. [That's why Naegi is so precious. He wants to save us, even the hopeless remnants, and he really has a way to save us. The hope that can be called a super high school level is not just talk.]
With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened, and Hinata Sou walked out of the empty family building. At this moment, Hinata Sou's cell phone suddenly rang.
He opened his phone and saw Dazai Osamu's name. After frowning slightly, Hinata Hajime answered the call.
"Hello, this is Hinata."
"Hinata-kun, I have some very interesting news to tell you." In another direction, Dazai Osamu leaned against the wall. He glanced back slightly. That was the private dock of the port mafia, but there were no transactions going on at the dock, and no cargo ships were being loaded. Instead, there were people patrolling constantly.
"What news?"
Dazai Osamu raised his lips slightly, "The port mafia has completely lost."
"What?"
"Perhaps too many people had attacks at the same time, and they failed to control them, resulting in many people escaping. The port mafia sent a large number of people to hunt them down. However, if the disease can be spread simply through communication, many people would be infected in just one day."
So the Port Mafia decided not to continue the pursuit. They chose to guard the Port Mafia and completely confine the remaining patients inside. As for those who escaped, they made it clear that they would let the Armed Detective Agency and the Special Powers Department deal with them.
The Port Mafia is the guardian of the night in Yokohama, but this time, they can no longer keep the night.
"Doesn't that mean that the outside world has already begun to spread the news of despair?" Hinata was shocked. "No, if we continue, things will become more and more serious!"
"The Port Mafia tried to stop the incident when it happened, but the wrong method was ultimately useless. We were also unable to detect it because it was kept secret, and it eventually developed to this extent." Dazai Osamu smiled sarcastically, "If the despair disease in the orphanage had not been dealt with at the time, it would have developed to a point where it was difficult to control."
Hinata frowned, "We must not let things get any worse."
"Of course." Dazai leaned against the wall. "If everyone in Yokohama goes crazy because they lost something important, then Yokohama won't be Yokohama anymore."
"We have to stop it, and the Special Powers Division can't avoid it. This time it's a battle for all of us."
"Where are you, Mr. Dazai? I'll join you."
Dazai Osamu sent his address to Hinata Hajime and then hung up the phone.
After receiving the news, Hinata Hajime prepared to find Dazai Osamu. As a former cadre of the Port Mafia, Dazai Osamu must know more about the Port Mafia than others. He can find information from various channels. The difficulty now lies in this point. It is unknown how long the Port Mafia has been hiding, and even the source is difficult to trace.
Without finding the source, Hinata Hajime cannot determine what caused the host to despair, nor can he purify the fragments of despair.
Now we can only hope that the Port Mafia will have enough sense not to kill the original Desperate Host.
Walking out of the gate of the community, Hinata Sou was looking at the address while looking for a place to get a taxi, but at this moment, a flash of white passed by the corner of Hinata Sou's eyes. Hinata Sou turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a white coat rummaging the lawn from the right rear.
"Alice? Alice, where are you? Stop playing hide and seek with Daddy!"
Hinata Hajime glanced around and made sure there was no one around. Then he looked at the middle-aged man again. He was still looking for his daughter on the lawn.
"Dad is worried about you, please don't be so angry, okay?" The middle-aged man stood up. At this moment, he seemed to see Hinata Hajime, and then he ran to Hinata Hajime and grabbed his sleeve. "Excuse me, have you seen my daughter? She is super cute, wearing a little red dress, like an angel doll!"
Hinata Hajime shook his head. "No, there are no other living people here except us."
"How could it be! I clearly came out with Alice." The middle-aged man's face was full of worry. "What should I do? The port mafia is so dangerous now. What if Alice accidentally runs in? She is still so young. How can I survive if she gets hurt!"
"The Port Mafia is dangerous?" Hinata Hajime grasped the key point.
At this moment, a clear little girl's voice came from behind Hinata Sou, "Rintaro! I'm here!"
"Alice!"
Before Hinata Sou turned his head, the middle-aged man in front of him ran over like a gust of wind. When Hinata Sou turned his head, he saw the middle-aged man holding the little girl and rubbing her again and again, looking like a kind father.
[Who is it?] Hinata Hajime asked in a puzzled voice.
Kamuzuru Izuru glanced at the clothes under Morio's white coat and turned his eyes away in boredom.
He didn't even have time to change his clothes. It seems the situation inside the port mafia is worse than he imagined.
