"Hinata-kun, you are really too much! What do you mean there is a mafia that kills people without blinking an eye? You are definitely not talking about me!"

Kamiya Izuru gave him a look of disdain, "The atmosphere is just right now, don't interfere with my work."

"But you are slandering me cruelly!" Dazai Osamu pointed at the computer screen like a willful child.

[How about a brief explanation? ] Hinata Hajime asked helplessly.

【Wasting time.】

[But if it's Mr. Dazai, he'll know what we're doing if we just say a few key words, right? ]

[No need, he is just making trouble. ]

According to Dazai Osamu's ability, after reading this passage and thinking about the characteristics of Rat Castle, he will understand that Kamukura Izuru is trying to find Rat Castle. This guy is just taking advantage of the situation knowing the truth. As long as you ignore him, he will soon stop harassing you because he is bored.

Sure enough, Dazai Osamu soon lost interest. He ran to his seat and sighed, looking heartbroken.

Only Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi would ask Dazai what happened at this time, while Kamukura Izuru would just ignore him.

"So, will we really see the Rat Castle you mentioned? Isn't that a horror legend circulating among high school students? Or is Hinata-kun actually a high school student?" Dazai Osamu glanced at Hinata Hajime. "Hinata-kun doesn't look very old, so it's not impossible that he is a high school student."

Kamiya Izuru still ignored him and just stared at his computer screen intently, adding something to it from time to time.

"Too boring." Dazai Osamu snatched away Kamuzuru Izuru's koji Zen, "How can you be so boring?"

His fingers paused for a moment, and Kamiya Izuru looked up at Dazai Osamu, his red eyes devoid of any emotion, "Interest comes from love and the unknown, Dazai Osamu, don't try to find something from other people that you don't even have, it will only make you more boring."

"…This is what you call the talent of a psychologist?"

It’s not like Dazai Osamu didn’t know about psychologists.

Which psychologist would specifically stab others in the wounds when communicating with them!

Kamuko Izuru reached out to turn off the computer screen. He walked to the window under Dazai Osamu's gaze. The person behind him was indeed restless and ran over with wet clothes to look outside with him. But Dazai Osamu was soon disappointed. There was a road opposite the detective agency. All he could see was the dark road surface and the lights of the dock in the distance.

Nothing.

But is there really nothing?

Kamizuru Izuru stared downstairs.

Downstairs in what was originally a street, a burst of brisk music sounded, and Kamiya Izuru could see neon lights flashing. The lights were imprinted in his red eyes. Under the flashing lights like a circus, Kamiya Izuru saw the sign of the small building.

It's called: Mouse City.

"I said you...eh?"

Even in the dark, because Kamijou Izuru and Dazai Osamu were relatively close, Dazai Osamu saw Kamijou Izuru's eyes. The neon lights were reflected in those red eyes. He quickly looked downstairs, but what he saw was still the pitch-black road.

He and Kamukura Izuru saw different things.

Kamiya Izuru didn't explain to him. He turned around and left the detective agency, walking downstairs, leaving Dazai Osamu alone in the detective agency.

Facing the dark detective agency, Dazai Osamu frowned slightly. He walked to the door and turned on the light with a click. After a moment, he looked at Hinata Hajime's work computer. Kamukura Izuru did not turn it off when he left. He just turned off the screen. When he turned on the screen, the words left by Kamukura Izuru were still on it.

"That's right."

Dazai Osamu gave a subtle smile.

He excitedly turned on the computer in front of him, opened a document at random, and started typing.

"I have a secret. I used to be a mafia member."

"But now I have turned over a new leaf and I want to live the most peaceful life!"

"I finally got the job here, and I was looking forward to a bright future. However, this secret was discovered by that person. He threatened me with it and even wanted me to give him money. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I killed him and forged a resignation letter. My colleagues really thought he was just resigning."

"When I thought it was all over, I suddenly realized that the man seemed to have discovered it, too."

"His evasive, fearful eyes swallowed me like an abyss."

"No, no, no! We can't let anyone else know! Even if it means killing one more person..."

After finishing writing, Dazai Osamu slammed the table, looking sad as if he had already been immersed in the story.

"It's so touching. Do I have the qualifications to write a novel?!" Dazai Osamu pretended to wipe away tears. "But this way we can see the Mouse City. Although I don't care much, this is indeed a super big secret!"

As he spoke, Dazai Osamu stood up and walked towards the window step by step. The sign of Mouse City was reflected in his iris-colored eyes.

Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Only those who are extremely obsessed with secrets and have a strong desire to do something can see the Mouse City."

“It’s a place that really matches despair.”

…

"Welcome home, welcome home..."

A glowing sign of Mouse City was across the door, and a broken doll beside the door was enthusiastically making a "Welcome Home" sound.

Kamiya Izuru looked at the doll. There was a hole on the doll's forehead and the cracks under its eyes looked like a line of tears, but it still greeted everyone with an enthusiastic voice, which made this mysterious mouse city once again have a strange atmosphere.

Pushing open the door of the Mouse City, Shenzuo Chuliu stepped in.

The room was dark and empty, with nothing in it. Opposite it was a hole and not far away was a table with a piece of paper on it. Kamuko Izuru walked over and picked up the paper. There were several people's names written on it, and he soon saw Mizuide Yoshiko's name.

The girl's name was written crookedly, completely different from the signature on her painting.

It seemed like she had put a lot of thought into writing her name.

[These are all the people who have cleared the secret so far.] Hinata Hajime tried to remember all these names, [Luckily there are only a few people.]

Kamiya Izuru did not answer. He just calmly opened the drawer and reached into it and took out a piece of paper with names already written on it.

Hinata Hajime: ...

The blank paper placed on the table is the second one; the first one has already been filled up.

More people than you think give away their secrets.

At this moment, Hinata Hajime slightly widened his eyes and said, "Izuru, look at the first name!"

On the first piece of paper that Kamuzuru Izuru found, a familiar name was written on the first line: Yuki Tomikawa.

[Yuki Tomikawa has been to Mouse City? And she has also cleared up secrets here. She just forgot about it after clearing up the secrets? ]

[Yuki Tomikawa and Miyo Chida have a close relationship, so we can continue investigating this matter.] Kamukura Izuru put the paper back into the drawer of the desk.

Then Kamukura Izuru walked to the dark little hole in front of him. He stared at the hole, his red eyes as calm as ever.

[Chuang, I suspect that when I tell a secret, something will happen here, but since I cannot detect the problem here, I will tell the previous secret again, and you should be alert to the surroundings.]

[It is possible, but, shouldn’t it be the other way around? ]

Hinata Hajime came to tell the secret, and Kamijou Izuru was alert to his surroundings.

Kamukura Izuru narrowed his eyes slightly, [No, this is good.]

Kamizura Izuru and Hinata Hajime are two completely different people, they are the opposites of the mirror, but Kamizura Izuru does not want them to live in this way forever. If possible, Kamizura Izuru would like them to be closer.

To become the other party, start with things they can access.

"Can we really tell secrets here? I'm so scared. My colleague is a mafia member..."

While Kamizuru Izuru was talking quietly, Hinata Hajime kept observing the surroundings. His observation angle could not leave Kamizuru Izuru's sight, but Kamizuru Izuru was staring at the black hole in front of him. Just when Kamizuru Izuru was about to finish speaking and nothing happened, a slight clicking sound was heard.

Hinata Hajime widened his eyes slightly.

Something stretched out from the black hole in front of him. It was an eye.

The eye stared at Kamijou Izuru closely, and blood dripped down the eyeball little by little. A gust of wind blew over, and Kamijou Izuru clenched his hands slightly. At this moment, Hinata Hajime suddenly felt that he had returned to the basement of Chida Midori's house.

A creaking door, a camera in the empty space in front of the door, and a girl who is talking to the empty space in despair.

Kamuzuru Izuru stopped and spoke.

【How is it? 】

【There is an eye in that hole.】

This so-called Rat City is not the source either. It is just a room separated from the origin. The desperate host cannot be found here, nor can the reason for the host's despair be found. The previous eyes were more like simulating the surveillance cameras in Chida Midori's home.

There is no point in staying here any longer.

Kamiya Izuru turned around and walked out of the Rat Castle. As soon as he walked out, he saw Dazai Osamu standing next to him.

"I didn't know what was inside so I didn't go in." Dazai Osamu leaned against the electric wire railing next to him, "So what did Hinata-kun see inside?"

"Nothing."

“Is this true or false?”

Kamukura Izuru looked at Dazai Osamu and said, "Dazai Osamu, do you ever want to find a place to shout out your true thoughts?"

Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment.

“They are the same.”

"Find a safe place and vent those extreme thoughts that have accumulated in your heart. That's the so-called secret." Kamiya Izuru's voice was still calm. "The more you suppress it, the more you need to vent it. The more painful it is, the more extreme it is. There is never an exception to this."

Mouse City is such a place, which creates more oppression under the guise of helping people relieve stress.

From the beginning, Chida Miyo was a person without secrets, and her father controlled her life, so if the Mouse City continued to develop, this would be the final result.

All secrets told in Mousetown will be told.

After all, there are no secrets in Mouse City.
