Chapter 38

Tokyo's initial idea was just to settle the two little sorcerers.

But when a group of bored urbanites learned about it, the plan was infinitely magnified.

As a central city, Tokyo has too many people with super powers. There are people with different attributes, and different factions within the same attribute. It's exhausting to look into them in detail.

Instead of trying to find ways to improve and manage together, it is better to just set the rules and let them obey.

Although Zenin Jiro is the only official member at present, everyone knows that an organization with the city consciousness as its backing will absorb huge power and expand rapidly in a short period of time. What's more terrifying is that Tokyo's actions are fully supported by other organizations.

It is only a matter of time before such an organization becomes the new representative of Tokyo.

No matter how others were holding their breath and thinking about how to deal with Tokyo in the future, Shinichi Hinata was quite relaxed and happy now.

After fulfilling Tokyo's little wish, he found time to brush up the mood of the Child of the World. To be honest, because of working in the technical college, the two people who are known as the strongest in the world of spells are hanging around Hinawa Shinichi every day. Although it has been less than half a year, the combat power of the two has almost doubled.

Since then, Shinichi Hinata has suffered from a serious fear of lack of energy. He plays the game with all his might, and repeatedly makes his presence felt in front of the children of the world amid the system's horrified tone.

Although, this may not always be a good experience for the children of the world.

For example, Mori Ogai now.

Whether he was a military doctor on Changan Island or an underground doctor in Yokohama, he never thought that he would fall into the current embarrassing situation.

As a patriot, even if the methods he uses are somewhat unusual, as long as he reaches a high position and becomes the ruler of order and chaos, the city will run in an orderly manner according to his ideas.

When awake, I hold the power of the world; when drunk, I lie on the lap of a beautiful woman. The poem of the flower-grower vividly describes the life of the person in power. Mori Ogai believes that after he succeeds, even if he cannot fully realize it, he can get close to it.

But now——

"Chief, this is our deficit for this month. Sixty percent of the regions said that Yokohama is peaceful now and they don't want to pay protection fees anymore."

"Chief, can we postpone the repair of the weapons? We are short of funds, and those weapons have only been used a few times since they were purchased. They don't need repair at all."

"Chief, five more organizations have come this month and want to join our organization."

Finally, Mori Ogai, who was about to be buried by various documents, finally exploded: "What are they going to merge with? They should merge with the Yokohama Self-Defense Force! Our Port Mafia can't even pay our employees' salaries!"

The gentle and polite leader had become so irritable in just a few months. The subordinate in the black suit was startled and the documents in his hand fell to the ground, but he still wanted to reply: "They went, but Lord Lan Tang drove them all out."

"If I can't go to the Yokohama Self-Defense Force, is it so easy for me to get into the Port Mafia?" After calming down a little, Mori Ogai waved his hand and let his subordinates go out.

A woman in kimono walked out of the shadowy corner of the room. She was Ozaki Koha, one of the five leaders of the Port Mafia. "Don't worry about it, Ogai-sama. As long as you are here, there will always be a place for our Port Mafia in Yokohama."

Mori Ogai naturally knew this truth. There might be no day in Yokohama, but there would definitely be night. The best manipulator in the night is always the one who is accustomed to the night. Therefore, Mori Ogai dared to say that his port mafia would never disappear.

But whether it can become an organization like the three-point concept is hard to say now.

In Yokohama, where the government lacks control and believes that power is everything, there is no existence more powerful than the city's consciousness, especially since Hachisha-sama really planned to wipe out the entire Yokohama black force.

They had done a lot of bad things in the past, and now an eight-foot-tall ghost had come to their door, and everyone was really panicking.

Dazai Osamu announced this matter only after getting the consent of the city consciousness. Different levels of information would be obtained. At Mori Ogai's level, he knew almost all the details of the nightmare that day. Then he wanted to go back to the time a year ago when he decided to attract Weilaine to Yokohama.

There is no doubt that the method of clearing away the sludge in one go is simple and quick, but everyone knows that Hachishaku-sama's method has considerable hidden dangers. However, the city consciousness is not a species at all like humans, and these hidden dangers relative to humans are meaningless to her.

Moreover, Mori Ogai also learned the mental state of their city consciousness from Dazai Osamu. Is it really possible to communicate with a city consciousness whose mental state is extremely unstable? This lady might be thinking that after she dies, she will not care about the flood.

Mori Ogai didn't want to know that the nightmare that night had no possibility of becoming reality, and he didn't want to know what would happen to a city after it lost its urban consciousness.

Not only Mori Ogai, but almost all the insiders thought so. It would be best to keep quiet during this period. Let Hachisha-sama take care of her spirit, and go along with whatever she thinks. Leave those dark things aside and don't let that cursed spirit pollute our city consciousness.

Just like that, the night in Yokohama became quieter than ever before.

However, no one knows how long this dormant period will last. They thought that only those who could hold out to the end would be the winners, but most of the highly profitable industries were shut down, and the salaries of the employees who maintained the operation of the organizations still had to be paid. They soon discovered that they could not hold on for much longer.

Mori Ogai, who thought it would take at least one or two years to unify the Yokohama Yakuza organization, discovered that he seemed to be able to unify the forces within a few months, provided that he could afford to pay these people's salaries.

Thinking of Teacher Natsume and the Three-part Plan, Mori Ogai gritted his teeth and accepted the merger of those organizations. Then the days when even the leaders became office slaves were gone forever.

"Momiji, did Dazai and Nakahara go to the shrine again?"

Ozaki Kouye smiled and said, "That's right, Chief. Nakahara has recently developed a habit of eating dinner at the shrine. As for Dazai, he probably felt that the lady you hired to serve the food always had trembling hands, so he went over to eat for free."

"Ahem!" Mori Ogai coughed to cover up his embarrassment, not wanting to mention the little tricks he had done to save money. "But even I'm working, so they both went home too early."

Facing the leader's complaint, Hongye said very honestly: "This is because Lord Ogai can no longer afford to pay everyone's overtime wages, so everyone is off work at a certain time."

As she spoke, the clock on the wall rang. In the face of Mori Ogai's somewhat horrified expression, Ozaki Kouye bowed and said, "I am leaving too. Lord Ogai needs to take care of himself."

Then, under the leader's expectant gaze, she calmly left work on time.

In this world, it is only natural for leaders to work overtime!

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when Mori Ogai finished his work for the day.

As the leader, Mori Ogai usually lives in the □□ Building for security reasons. There are many people in Yokohama who want to get rid of the leader of the Port Mafia, so the leader will be assigned several bodyguards in the open or in secret. However, due to the recent situation of the organization and the fact that Mori Ogai is confident in his own fighting power, he saved this expense.

However, after working overtime until late at night, Mori Ogai suddenly realized that there was no one left around him.

It's not that he was lonely, but he was definitely a bit desolate. Thinking about it carefully, he did have a "friend" before, but they had fallen out a long time ago because of different ideas.

As for the subordinates he likes? Hongye has been enjoying raising children lately. Dazai and Nakahara are still eating sukiyaki at a shrine, and it was made by his former subordinate Randou... Thinking of this makes me feel even more uncomfortable!

"Alice, do you think I'm pitiful, walking alone on the road?" The middle-aged man pretended to be aggrieved, trying to seek some comfort from the girl next to him.

However, the personality of Alice, who is the embodiment of supernatural powers, has long been artificially set: "Rintaro is so bad, no one will want to accompany you!"

Mori Ogai cooperated with the unexpected reaction and continued the performance. In the end, the little girl ran away on her own because she couldn't stand the behavior of her designer.

They usually played this game of chase, but this time he unknowingly walked to a familiar yet unfamiliar place.

He was so familiar with the place that he had seen it countless times in various intelligence reports, but he was also so unfamiliar with the place that he knew everything about it but had never even set foot on the streets here... in order to avoid meeting the people inside.

But it's so late now, the Armed Detective Agency has a special staff dormitory, and the lights inside are off, so I shouldn't run into anyone.

Mori Ogai was still feeling scared even as he thought about this. He didn't know if it was because he had too many things in his mind or for some other reason, but when he turned around and wanted to leave this place quickly, he accidentally bumped into a piece of white lace.

What would it feel like if this gorgeous and delicate fabric, which even Alice likes, fell into a pile of lace?

At an inappropriate time, such a thought came to Mori Ogai's mind.

However, he had no chance to feel it, for as his body leaned down, something cold and sharp hit his forehead squarely.

Reluctantly raising his head, Mori Ogai saw the pale, cold face of the woman in a dress with a sarcastic smile: "Do you need me to help you stand up?"

His Adam's apple rolled up and down several times, Mori Ogai forced a smile, and immediately stood up respectfully: "How can I trouble you!"

The large umbrella that had been against Mori Ogai just now turned into a white butterfly and flew away in the light and shadow. The ghost silently raised his chin and looked away, revealing his thin collarbone and pale skin.

Faced with such obvious disdain, Mori Ogai could only lower his posture and think of finding an excuse to leave immediately.

However, before he could figure out a reason, the tall ghost turned around.

Mori Ogai thought he was being ignored, but then he heard someone say, "Follow me."
