Chapter 56 Some follow-up
The main group had already left, and Isabel was also preparing to leave. All the people from all the forces in Yokohama breathed a sigh of relief at this, especially Mori Ogai who was released from the sealed house. He was so grateful that he burst into tears.
"Chill out, Rintaro," Alice beside him said in a daze, "If you didn't know me, you'd be considered some boss who was robbed!"
"Why is it the small boss?" Mori Ogai complained subconsciously.
So you don’t deny that you were “robbed”, right? The people around him had sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Isabel changed into a lighter outfit with plain flowers on her skirt, which made her look like a foreign tourist who came to Yokohama for a simple tour. It was hard to tell how much turmoil she had brought to the city.
Nanako Kojima was carrying the big suitcase she had brought with her in both hands. Only a faint scar remained on her injured face. It was because time was too short. Perhaps after some time, even this scar would disappear. This makes people sigh at the terrifying regenerative power of the "transformed" superpowers. She looked at everyone present with great vigilance.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had never appeared in the show, stood behind Mori Ogai with a complicated expression. He had been "abandoned" at sea for several days, drifting alone on a boat with a group of corpses. His cell phone ran out of battery after he made that call. If he hadn't found some food, he would probably have to wait on an empty stomach. On the silent sea surface, he thought he had been completely forgotten until Ozaki Koyo sent a helicopter to search the vast sea area and finally brought him back to land.
As soon as he reached land, he learned what had happened in Yokohama during those days.
With complicated emotions, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's thoughts changed from "How dare they do such a thing to the boss and his port mafia" to "What? Reviving Leibo Street, why didn't they call me for such a thing?". He thought she was just a foreign woman who was full of lies, but he didn't expect that in the end, she actually succeeded. This was completely beyond Akutagawa Ryunosuke's understanding.
He now stood there without moving, not knowing whether to go up and thank her, after all, he also came from the bottom of Leibo Street, or to reprimand her for using Chief Mori and his port mafia. He felt like he was split into two halves, each half trying to control his body.
No one paid attention to his dilemma. Dazai Osamu stood at the front, the wind blowing past his side. He put one hand in his pocket, white bandages fluttering in the air. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "When Wang Jian came out, it really scared us. Since it is a 'king' who wants our 'book' pages, why didn't you say so earlier? Maybe the Special Ability Agent Department will offer it to us with both hands after knowing it, so you won't need to plan like this."
As soon as he said this, the peaceful atmosphere pretended to be cold at the scene, and Zhongtian Shantouhuo, who was standing nearby, said quickly: "It won't be like this..."
"Because it's what I wanted." Isabel didn't mind. She combed her hair a little and said, "He didn't think so at first. It was me who put the idea on the book." Ignoring the complicated looks of the people present, she continued, "Since it's my idea, then it's natural for me to do it."
Okay, as some of you may have figured out by now, the new king is a man.
"Aren't you a relative of that prince?" Taneda Santouhuo blurted out.
Isabel smiled. She did not answer directly, but said in a sly tone: "He and I are friends."
Not relatives of ambiguous class, but friends. It was also for the sake of her friends that she came to the modern city from her free exploration and adventure, took the baton in her hand, let the whole city dance in her palm, and then picked the final victory.
Yes, it is hard to believe that such a person would bow her head in front of anyone.
"I don't really understand what you mean by 'friend'..." someone muttered in the background.
Isabel glanced over. "You really can't stay?" Mori Ogai still refused to give up: "The Port Mafia is still missing a successor. Everyone in the group admires you very much. If they knew that you are leaving, everyone will be very sad." If they knew, I'm afraid the entire dock would not be able to accommodate so many people trying to keep you.
Nakahara Chuuya also had a complicated expression. On the one hand, he was grateful for the opportunity she gave him, and on the other hand, he felt ashamed of his "betrayal" of the leader. But after thinking about it, he did not regret it. If it happened again, he would still say that word to her on that stage.
"BOSS."
"Have you not given up your foolish fantasy yet?" Dazai Osamu sarcastically said, "You know it's impossible, but you still say it out loud. That's just asking for trouble." He said lazily, "You should go and clean up your mafia organization. You've caused such a big incident. Be careful that the knife is already on your head."
"What, no!" Mori Ogai held his head and cried.
The leader of the port mafia is indeed pitiful. He has become a thorn in the eyes of some people without doing anything. But Nakajima Atsushi could not sympathize with him at all, because during the days he was imprisoned with him, he had already realized the two-sided nature of the leader of the organization. This funny style was just his disguise, and his true inner self was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless. His optimal solution never takes a single individual into consideration.
He was originally going to be sent to trade with the "Combination", an organization of superpowers from the UK. Their goal was also the "book", and, unlike Isabel who wanted to mess up the entire city, their goal was more focused on him himself. Of course, destroying Yokohama in the process was not a big deal for them. It is precisely because of their fierce attack that the Special Ability Agent Department is forced to compromise with Isabel under increasing pressure.
This was probably what she expected, right? Nakajima Atsushi, who had a terrible dream in which she covered the entire city with her palm and who had been fleeing all night with his companions from the Armed Detective Agency, shuddered and his face turned pale.
Thanks to Mr. Dazai, he used some unknown method to exchange himself back from this terrible woman. He is such a reliable senior from the detective agency!
Isabel saw Edogawa Ranpo, who had thrown away his previous seriousness and was waiting for her with shining eyes. Seeing her looking over, he said excitedly, "Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Huh?" Everyone looked over, even Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai, who had been mocking each other.
"Because it's really amazing!" Edogawa Ranpo didn't care about that. He said, "I can speak so freely in front of thousands of people and give such an amazing speech. In fact, at that time I was thinking, why not be afraid of so many pairs of eyes? There are so many human hearts below, and each one is different. How do you make them all make only one voice?"
Is this what it is? The president of the detective agency felt a little helpless.
"Just use 'empathy'," Isabel said very simply. This answer left many people at a loss for words. If unrest could be caused so easily, Yokohama would not be what it is now.
Izumi Kyoka stood beside Nakajima Atsushi. The girl unexpectedly formed a faint friendship with Nakajima Atsushi during the process of guarding and surveillance. She looked straight at Isabel, as if waiting for a trial.
"If you want to leave, you can contact me anytime later." Isabel said softly, "No matter where we are at that time, we will come to pick you up."
Nanako Kojima nodded at her. Izumi Kyoka also nodded very carefully. In fact, they had agreed long before that in the next period of time, she and her would likely encounter dangers from all directions. Whether they were afraid of them or trying to spy on the king, they would come forward in waves to fight them. Although Izumi Kyoka has superpowers, she is still unable to cope with such a tense life at her age. She does not like killing people, and these dangers actually have nothing to do with her.
"We'll take good care of her," the detective agency's president promised.
Izumi Kyoka's face was determined. She would keep waiting and train herself while waiting. Because she also promised them that in the days to come, they would travel through the mountains and continents, walk around the world, and meet all kinds of different people. This kind of life and future...she likes it very much!
Everything had been explained. Isabel smiled at everyone present, then turned around gently and walked towards the coast. The sun was shining, the flying seagulls were making clear sounds, a huge ocean ship was docked at the dock, and the woman left the city where she had left a deep impression without even looking back.
Nanako Kojima ignored them, picked up the heavy suitcase, and hurriedly chased after them.
The ocean ship sounded its departure signal, the waves parted, and it gradually sailed away.
There was silence on the shore for a long time, and then Zhongtian Shantouhuo slowly said: "The government has activated the most advanced supernatural props and will try its best to blur the matter of 'Resurrection of Leibo Street' from the public's memory."
"But for those who have experienced it personally, especially those whose relatives have recovered from this incident, it may be difficult for them to completely forget it." He really wanted to smoke a cigarette.
"This lady has also become famous internationally," Dazai Osamu said lazily, "'The Woman Who Serves the Monster', they think there are monsters around her, so she can shake so many people's hearts with her eloquence; 'The Witch Who Controls the Chessboard', describes her as extremely intelligent, able to control the overall situation, and stir up chaos like a witch; and 'The Endless Traveler', this is the nickname given to her by her friends in the Explorers' Association, describing that she will never hesitate and will never stop exploring..."
"In fact, I think she's quite gentle," said Edogawa Ranpo, not caring at all, "Most of what she brings are good, aren't they?"
"It's like a sharp knife, inserted sharply, but pulled out so gently." He pushed his glasses: "It really scared me. Well, calling her a 'witch' is not bad."
Isabel, who was already on the boat, was unaware of their conversation on the shore. They had just boarded the boat and had not yet put their belongings away when Isabel's cell phone rang.
