Chapter 49 The Final Confrontation
Some people never understand that the order they have been eroding is the last line of defense to protect them. Perhaps some of them understand this, but they always want to take a gamble, betting that they can gain unimaginable rights before everything happens.
After Edogawa Ranpo finished speaking, Taneda Santouki quickly sent people out. Nanako Kojima is still fighting with others. She is like an energetic fish. Even though she knows that she will be stranded ahead, she still refuses to give up.
On a tall building not far from the Special Power Agent Department, in the direction where the long-range bullet was fired, a man rudely knocked a soldier over. He sneered: "You really dare to shoot."
Guangjin Liulang was wearing a long coat, his gray hair was combed neatly, and he was wearing glasses. He was standing aside and watching Nishio Zhuang corporally punishing the soldier. Just now, at the last moment, this man suddenly rushed forward, causing the gun in the soldier's hand to tilt and not hit the expected direction. They did come, but were just a second late, and were beaten to it by this man.
"I... I just received orders from my superiors." The soldier spoke vaguely with blood in his mouth.
Xiwei Zhuang also calmed down. He straightened his clothes and said, "It seems that we are going to confront some people."
Guangjin Liulang smiled and said, "This is not a problem we should consider. We just need to do our best."
He looked out the window and suddenly sighed: "I have lived long enough to see such a scene in Yokohama."
The camera turned slightly, and Dazai Osamu left the place where the battle was taking place. After making some preparations, he dialed Isabel's cell phone number again.
"You know who has that thing, right?"
"No, no, no," Isabel answered quickly, as if the unpleasant conversation before never happened. She said, "I don't know who has it. If I knew, I wouldn't kidnap Nakajima Atsushi. There are rumors in the supernatural world that he has clues. I am just like those people, trying it out."
"Huh," Dazai laughed out loud, "You're kidding me. You know one page of it is in the Special Powers Department, otherwise you wouldn't make such a big fuss. I just don't understand, this is a top secret matter, how do you know all this."
It’s because of the plot before the time travel. Isabel didn't say this, she just smiled and said: "Maybe someone told me in a dream."
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows and didn't investigate further. The other party was a dangerous guy, and her dangerousness was no less than that of a demon. If he wanted to know her secret, he would probably have to pay a lot. He was not interested either. He said, "Well, you finally got what you wanted. The Special Ability Agent Department asked me to contact you."
Isabel smiled to herself: "It seems that this organization really cares about this city."
Dazai Osamu said unhappily, "There is no entire organization, only a few people. You are just betting on their psychology, right?"
Isabel just smiled and said nothing. In fact, there is also the Armed Detective Agency. As the positive protagonists of a drama, they will never let the city fall in their hands.
Dazai remained silent for a long time, and then he said in a fake voice: "Oh, ma'am, you are so accurate. People like them are just like this in their daily duties. And our Armed Detective Agency, during this detailed discussion, it was because we secretly helped them to agree to take out that kind of thing."
But on the other side, there was no emotion in Dazai Osamu's eyes: "What you want to do should not require a whole book to accomplish, right?"
Isabel smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the ability yet to hold the 'book' without being envied by the world."
There is no evidence that one page has any different effect than the entire book.
"Well," Dazai asked, "Where are you going to meet us? After all, we have to touch each other in order to hand over the pages of the 'book' to you."
Isabel was silent too. Dazai Osamu smiled: "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that we will set an ambush? But the pages of the 'book' are in our hands, and you have to get it! We only accept it if we hand it to you 'personally'." He emphasized the word "personally".
Isabel sighed, "Okay, let's go to the top floor of the Great Hall that day. I look forward to meeting you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Dazai Osamu also took down his phone and nodded at the people around him.
A clear bell rang out from the young man lying on the side. Okura Yezi walked down from the battlefield with difficulty, searched it out with her bloody hands, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
There was a voice coming from the other side. After listening for a while, the deputy captain of the military police, Okura Yezi, nodded and said, "I understand." She turned around and wanted to walk in another direction. But a hand with dislocated bones suddenly grabbed her ankle. Okura Yezi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"I can't let you leave." Nanako Kojima lay on the ground and said in a broken tone. Her eyes were open, blood was flowing from her head, and there was a terrifying tenacity in her pupils.
"You guy!" Okura Yezi was anxious. Several of her teammates were seriously injured. If they were not treated as soon as possible, they would probably have to lie on the operating table again and take those life-consuming drugs after returning this time, just for this guy who refused to die.
She had no choice but to say, "We have reached a deal with your superiors and we are going to meet somewhere. The battle has stopped for now. If you want to fight, we will accompany you in the future."
Nanako Kojima shook her head slightly: "You can't leave here unless the lady calls."
Okura Yezi was furious: "You lunatic!"
Isabel was holding an umbrella, standing alone on the top floor of Yokohama's landmark building. There was nothing here but the chaotic city outside and the gentle sunshine in the sky.
The white clouds seemed to know what was about to happen here, blocking the overly dazzling sun and providing a suitable place.
The sound of helicopter propellers turning came from far away. Isabel looked up and saw a limited combat model aircraft flying over. It circled for a while, as if checking for an ambush. Finding nothing, it slowly stopped at the edge.
Several figures jumped out from inside. Dazai Osamu's long windbreaker was blown up. He squinted at Isabel and said, "You really don't have any other help?"
Isabel turned the umbrella in her hand and laughed: "We only came here in two people."
Taneda Santoka, who was beside Dazai Osamu, was holding a tightly sealed safe. He said gently, "There are only two of us. Doesn't that prove Ms. Isabel's ability? You can shake a city with your own strength. I don't know whether to say it's our incompetence or your great talent. Ms. Isabel doesn't seem to have joined any organization yet. I wonder if you can consider our country's special agent department?"
"If you want to join, I will step down and let others take over. That will make everyone happy," he said slowly. This middle-aged bald man is indeed a man loyal to his country, and his existence is extremely important in today's events.
"I'm afraid not," Isabel replied confidently, "Since the day I left home, I have decided that I will never let anything bind me, whether it is love or life, nothing can stop me from moving forward. In my life, I will chase nature, live towards the light, and die in the wind."
Several people were silent. They all heard the absolute determination in those words, and for some reason, a few emotions quietly arose in their hearts. "It's really enviable," Dazai Osamu took a few steps forward, "Even a stray dog like me in the gutter can't bear to look at it, for fear of hurting my eyes, but..."
He continued to pace forward: "Since you have chosen freedom, why did you come to our city and do something that is not free at all?"
Isabel smiled and suddenly pushed the umbrella in her hand forward, blocking Dazai's forward movement. The weapon in his hand slid across the umbrella, but did not even leave a trace.
"This umbrella is specially made," Dazai thought to himself, "She uses it as a weapon and for self-defense."
Isabel smiled and said, "Aren't you here to compromise? Why are you suddenly attacking me?"
Dazai Osamu also smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with them. I'm just a little curious. How much martial arts value does a person who has done such a great thing have?"
The rest of the people stood aside, looking around vigilantly, fearing that a strange figure would suddenly jump out.
"I'm just a simple psychic," Isabel replied. "My powers aren't for physical use. I have excellent physical fitness, but I'm not a fighter. I'm an explorer who travels whenever I want. You can't tell anything from me."
As she said this, she suddenly retracted the umbrella, and the ribs of the umbrella were like samurai swords, blocking Dazai Osamu's kick. Although the fighting skills of the two were pretty good, that was all. In the eyes of some skilled fighters, their confrontation was not exciting at all.
Dazai Osamu's expression sank, and he said angrily: "If that's all you are, then there's no need for us to continue this meeting today."
Isabel tilted her head and asked curiously, "Are you going to go back on your word?"
She clearly didn't do anything dangerous, but everyone present felt the atmosphere suddenly become tense. Just at this moment, a dark cloud completely blocked the sun, making the already thin sunlight here even less visible, and even the last bit of warmth disappeared.
Taneda Santouhuo knew that this was not something she had done. It was because the impact she had caused before was too profound, and people realized how dangerous she was. Her every move naturally caught people's attention. And after she said these words that sounded like an ultimatum, their bodies spontaneously became solemn.
"No," he said hastily, "It's just that the 'Book' is too important. We have to go through a few more steps. Now we all know that the events of Leibo Street are unstoppable, but we don't know what you want to do with it. If you want to use it to do something harmful to the world, wouldn't we all be extremely evil?"
