Chapter 36

The news of the resurrection of the former leader of the Port Mafia spread like wildfire in the inner world, and all kinds of rumors were rampant for a while.

It is also for this reason that Douma, the real murderer who killed the previous leader with his own hands, would land behind Dazai Osamu in broad daylight with an umbrella and go to the center of the rumor: Leibo Street, to investigate.

Dazai Osamu was walking down the winding stairs of Leibo Street, reading a completely self-made manual with great concentration, and he said jokingly, "You are so useless, Douma-kun."

Douma, who was captured by Mori Ogai with an excuse, really has no energy to do anything. He already knows the truth behind this matter. The one who did it is Rimbaud, so the process of asking questions everywhere and investigating like now is really a waste of time for Douma.

Dazai Osamu didn't care whether Douma responded or not. He continued to mutter: "Douma-kun was the one who was assigned by Mr. Mori to investigate this matter. Why did I have to do all the work and obtain all the intelligence?"

Although he knew a lot of intelligence, he already knew it all when Mr. Mori was just an underground black doctor before he became the leader of the port mafia.

For example, the port mafia is now facing three hostile organizations: the local 'Takase Society' and the foreign mercenary organization 'GSS', oh, and a small-time underage self-defense organization 'Sheep'.

The much-hyped resurrection of the predecessor might have been done by one of these three organizations. Of course, this is the opinion of most people in the Port Mafia, but Dazai Osamu has reservations about this.

"Didn't Mr. Mori arrange me to be your thug?" Douma ignored Dazai Osamu's complaints. It was obvious that his role in this matter was just to provide military support to Dazai Osamu, a brainy guy.

In that case, don't even think about asking him to work more. Isn't it natural for workers to slack off?

Dazai Osamu, who had been looking down the road the whole time, finally raised his head and looked inquiringly at Douma who was not far away with the eye that was not blocked by the bandage. He said bluntly: "Sometimes I really don't understand you, Douma-kun. It seems like you know everything and yet you know nothing. It's really strange."⊿

Douma smiled but said nothing, refusing to answer any of Dazai Osamu's probing questions. He was not stupid enough to play tricks on the script crew.

Seeing that Douma ignored him, Dazai continued, "Don't you feel uneasy? According to my investigation, the previous leader really showed up, and it was not a lie."

Douma knew that if he didn't answer, Dazai would definitely continue, so he shook his head helplessly and replied: "I'm not worried. It doesn't matter whether he shows up or not."

Looking at Douma's calm appearance, Dazai Osamu showed a thoughtful expression. Just when he was about to say something, a red figure knocked Dazai Osamu away.

Then there was a loud, painful noise, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the scene revealed was Nakahara Chuuya smiling and stepping on Dazai Osamu.

Douma walked down the stairs calmly, holding his umbrella carefully to prevent the sunlight from reaching the uncovered areas.

When he turned the corner, he saw the two blacks, whom he met for the first time, having a friendly exchange of equal strength (?).

Nakahara Chuuya, who has the upper hand in force, is ruthlessly kicking Dazai Osamu in the face, while Dazai Osamu, who is the brainpower, is calmly analyzing the loopholes in Nakahara Chuuya's words and exposing his past.

They are a perfect pair for the future. (bushi)

Unable to wait for Dazai Osamu's signal for help, Douma could only take the initiative to interrupt the confrontation between the two and raised his hand to signal, "Sorry to bother you, there is another person here."

Nakahara Chuuya turned around and saw that the veins on his forehead were bulging: "Asshole, you dare to show up in front of me."

Because the man in front of him was the one who had knocked him down a few months ago. When he thought of the terrible experience of feeling weak and powerless due to excessive blood loss after the battle, as well as the experience of coughing for a month in a row, Zhongyuan Zhong became angry.

As an excellent face-taker, Douma simply showed up and successfully drew Chuuya Nakahara's hatred towards himself.

"Wait, didn't you wrongly accuse me last time, and then I charged you a little interest?" Douma interrupted Nakahara Chuuya's accumulation of power in time.

Zhongyuan Zhongye, who is essentially a good boy, was successfully choked. The red light of gravity on his body was looming, and he seemed to be struggling whether to take action.

Dazai Osamu, who was ignored by Nakahara Chuuya, came quietly behind Nakahara Chuuya at this moment, and put one hand on Nakahara Chuuya's exposed neck when he was not prepared.

A blue light flashed, [Disqualification from the Human World] was activated, and the gravity on Chuuya Nakahara disappeared.

"The supernatural power is ineffective." Dazai Osamu raised his lips and said, "I caught you."

Nakahara Chuuya frowned solemnly. The man who defeated him last time and this guy with a difficult ability were not easy to deal with.

"Please don't resist in vain. Our new leader just wants to see you." Douma kindly advised.

It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but when Douma said that, the intensity of his sarcasm was simply off the charts, and no one could tolerate it.

Dazai Osamu was amazed at what he saw. Douma-kun’s method of stimulating people was very advanced.

Naturally, Nakahara Chuuya immediately launched a counterattack. As a natural master of physical training, Nakahara Chuuya kicked Dazai away before he could react.

Dazai Osamu fell heavily to the ground, but he did not show the shame that an ordinary person should have. Instead, he commented calmly: "Ahem... The King of Sheep is really hard to deal with."

"Hmph." Nakahara Chuuya squatted on the wall against gravity, ignored Dazai Osamu who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, and set his eyes on the person who was more difficult to deal with.

Douma, who was locked by Nakahara Chuuya, blinked innocently. Ah, he is now one of them. He really doesn't want to fight if he can avoid it.

Moreover, he had already smelled the transcendental scent of Rambo, and the other party was nearby.

Almost in the next second, a sudden black flame caused an explosion, blowing away everything around. The familiar figure that appeared in the air was the previous leader who died at the hands of Douma.

Douma did not listen to the ambiguous words that came out of the previous leader's mouth. He thought: Fortunately, Dazai Osamu fainted, otherwise, as an insider, Dazai Osamu would immediately see the flaw, because the real murderer who killed him was right in front of him, but the resurrected previous leader did not give any special reaction.

The people with special abilities in "Bungo Stray Dogs" have mysterious fighting and defensive capabilities.

Douma, the only one who was still awake among the three people present, held a boy in one hand and couldn't help complaining in his heart: An explosion knocked out the two blacks. In this match, Rimbaud was definitely the MVP, so how did Rimbaud get killed by Chuuya Nakahara with one punch? This is really unreasonable, okay?

However, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is impossible for Douma to cross the dimension to talk to Mrs. Asagiri about life and ideals.

Because he needed to hold an umbrella and carry a boy in one hand, Douma looked a little unruly at this moment. Fortunately, there was a special car waiting outside to pick them up, otherwise it would be a problem to get back.

However, Douma smelled the fragrance in the air and bluntly said, "Ramba, I know you are here."

The air was silent for a few seconds, and after a while, the tall and thin figure of Rimbaud slowly walked out from the blind spot of his sight. He looked at Douma with surprise in his eyes: "Why? I believe I hid myself very well."

Although only part of his memory was restored, Rimbaud had remembered most of the spy training, so he was quite confident in his hiding skills. However, he did not expect that Douma could see through his tricks so easily.

Douma is indeed not a simple person. Lanbo's eyes darkened, and he had some guesses in his mind, so he tentatively said: "You already know my plan."

Douma, who originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, nodded helplessly: "I do know."

"Are you going to stop me?" Rimbaud's heart sank. If Douma went against him, he didn't know if his plan could continue.

Douma shook his head and looked up at Rambo, wanting him to see his sincerity: "I'm not trying to stop you, I'm trying to help you. Your plan won't work... You might die."

Hearing the last word 'you might die', Rimbaud raised his eyebrows indifferently. From the day he agreed to become a superpower spy and fight for France, he had already put life and death aside.

Now that he has recovered his memory, he must complete the mission assigned to him by the government and bring Huang Batu back to France. A powerful being like Verlaine needs to be in the hands of the French.

"I won't stop my actions. I hope Douma-kun pretends not to know about this." There was a determined light in Rimbaud's eyes, completely different from the gloomy look he had when he lost his memory.

And once again "successfully" received the message that Douma sent him with his eyes, and Rimbaud promised: "Besides, Douma-kun, you exposed me, don't you want to see a show? I will bring a grand drama to Douma-kun, and you will like it."

Douma: ...When did I ever want to watch a play? You just learned something about bubble teapots!

Just when Douma was about to explain it clearly, he met Rimbaud's determined gaze. Douma was stunned for a moment and stopped trying to persuade him.

Because Douma already understood that no matter what he said, he would not be able to change Rimbaud's mind.

Ahhh, that's why he didn't want to get involved in this matter. How could Rimbaud, who could become a transcendent, be a person with a weak will? No one could change his decision. It was all a waste of words.

Although it is a pity that Rimbaud, the only transcendent being he can get in touch with, insists on bringing about his own death, Douma does not know whether he can really avoid this plot killing.

Finally, Douma just left a message and turned away: "Don't die, I want to drink your blood one more time."

Hey, don't run out of food that tastes good and can make you stronger.

"Oh, I understand." Rimbaud stood there and watched Douma leave. His eyes were very complicated. It seemed that he couldn't understand how a cold-blooded and ruthless monster could not want to let him die?

Rimbaud felt warm in his heart, and then he thought of his non-human partner, his relatives and friends. Would they also not want him to die?

The vague memory of the last mission seemed to be foreshadowing something. Rimbaud, who didn't dare to think too much, shook his head vigorously. The most urgent task was to complete the failed mission and bring Huang Batu back to France. The rest... would be discussed later.
