Chapter 49

The once bustling Yokohama Street has recently become desolate and quiet. People stay at home after get off work or school, especially at night, turning off the lights and going to bed early, as if this would protect them from misfortune.

The various organizations involved in the fierce fighting also consciously avoided involving civilians and tried to schedule the fighting after the sun went down.

However, the joining of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko broke this unspoken rule and escalated the brutality of the fight. Not to mention Yokohama at night, even Yokohama during the day cannot be guaranteed to be safe, and many new corpses are born every day.

It cannot be said that the Japanese government did not anticipate this situation in advance, but they chose to allow Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to act freely for the greater good.

Strictly speaking, the civilians implicated did not die at the hands of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko. After all, his special ability [Ryuhiko's Space] is ineffective against ordinary people and may even have a protective effect on them.

However, due to the fact that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko recklessly attacked all the psychics he met, a large number of psychics died mysteriously, making the atmosphere of the entire Yokohama's underworld extremely tense. The emotions of the high-level and core psychics were seriously stimulated, and the organization's actions inevitably became more radical and biased.

The war for the leader, which should have been gradually calming down, was pushed to a new climax due to the joining of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

People with special abilities are highly valued in any organization, but now they are dying mysteriously one after another, and one person even died from his own special abilities in full view of the public.

Such a bizarre situation made everyone in the inner world suspicious of each other, suspecting that the other side was secretly plotting against them. The Plastic Alliance, which had originally agreed to encircle and suppress the port mafia, also disbanded unhappily.

This is the only good news among many bad news for the port mafia today.

The Port Mafia had already received the news that the 'White Kirin' Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was sent to Yokohama by the Special Powers Division. They knew the culprit behind the recent large number of mysterious deaths of people with special powers.

Since the intelligence network of the Port Mafia has not found out how to crack Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability, Douma shared this with everyone during the meeting: "I know a little about Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability. If you want to defeat him, you have to break the crystal on the cloned psychic, get your own ability back first, and then find him in person."

The people present were stunned when they heard the words, and they looked at Douma with different expressions. They never expected that Douma knew such a secret inside information so clearly?

Morio, who was at the top, suppressed his shock. Although he suspected that Douma-kun had reached a secret agreement with the government behind his back, he could only pretend to be unaware and focus on the present, saying encouraging words: "With this information from Douma-kun, it will be much easier to deal with Shibuzawa Ryuhiko."

However, the reality is that just knowing this is of no use, because so far, all the psychics in the Port Mafia who have had the misfortune of encountering Shibuzawa Ryuhiko have been wiped out.

It's so funny. Even if you have a detailed strategy to crack [Ryuu-hiko no na], you can't save those people from failure.

Because defeating others is easy, but defeating yourself is the hardest, especially when you lose the special ability you have always relied on, and have to single-handedly defeat another self with special abilities that can repair itself infinitely. If you fail once, you will die.

In desperation, Mori Ogai could only send out more powerful psychics to fight. He could no longer allow Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to kill people wantonly. After all, the reserve of psychics was also an important criterion for evaluating a psychic organization.

In the gorgeous and gloomy conference room, Mori Ogai slowly expressed his thoughts, and then asked directly: "Everyone, who is willing to accept the mission of killing Shibuzawa Ryuhiko?"

There were only six chairs in the huge conference room, representing the leader and five cadres.

Now, there are two vacant seats among the five top officers of the Port Mafia, so the next in line besides Mori Obi, in order of seniority, are the Colonel officer, Ozaki Kouyo, and the last one, Douma.

As soon as Mori Owai finished speaking, the hot-tempered colonel slammed the table and shouted in a rough voice: "My subordinates were killed by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, old man!

I will personally avenge him. Boss, leave this mission to me. I will definitely bring you Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's body."

Ozaki Kouyo, who also had a subordinate killed by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, frowned upon hearing this and said with embarrassment: "Master, I also want to avenge my subordinates myself."

Before Sen Ou could speak, the colonel took the lead and said, "My men have been with me for so many years. I must avenge them. You are not allowed to compete with me, Hongye girl."

After the colonel's words came out, Ozaki Momiji, whose qualifications were far inferior to those of the colonel, had no choice but to take a step back and hand over the task of killing Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to the colonel.

Douma, who remained silent from beginning to end, seemed so out of place in this conference room because he was not sure whether Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special ability could work on him, and if so, what the effect would be.

His abilities come from the demon blood in his body. What if the one that splits out is the Upper Rank 2 himself? Or if it splits out into a Muzan Muzan, the scene is too beautiful for him to watch.

Mori Ogai, who was at the top, looked over the two of them at Douma, who was silent. Douma, who was frightened by his own imagination, smiled at Mori Ogai subconsciously after noticing the gaze falling on him.

Seeing Douma's mysterious smile, Mori Ogai, who originally wanted Douma to take on this task, felt a chill in his heart. He looked away without a word, his purple-red eyes darkened, and he thought: Did Douma-kun find out? But there was nothing he could do even though he had been warned, so he could only change someone else.

The brief eye contact between the two did not attract the attention of the colonel, but Ozaki Kouyo on the side seemed to have noticed something and rolled her eyes, her eyes lightly passed between the two of them, and then she looked away as if nothing had happened.

The Colonel's officers and Douma, the person involved, were unaware of the undercurrents in the conference room. They all waited quietly for Mori Ougai's final decision.

Being watched by everyone, Mori Ogai smiled nonchalantly and nodded to the stubborn elder: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Colonel. The battle against Shibuzawa Ryuhiko will be handled by you."

"Yes, boss." The colonel bowed slightly, put his right hand on his chest and saluted Mori Ougai.

Several people present had experienced the tyranny of previous leaders at some point in time. At that time, they had to kneel on one knee to show respect when meeting the leader, even the highly respected cadres in the port mafia were no exception.

Since Sen Ouwai came to power, not to mention the people below him, at least the three existing cadres have never knelt to salute him. The difference between them is very worthy of reflection.

Regardless of what other people thought in their hearts, Mori Ogai himself did not raise any objection to this. This time, facing the overly perfunctory courtesy of the colonel officers compared to their predecessors, he did not show any dissatisfaction. He just smiled and said a few words of advice and encouragement.

Douma saw all of this, and his eyes, invisible to no one else, were filled with admiration for Mori Ogai's resilience.

Good guy, when your position was not stable enough, you said nothing and pretended to be very capable. Only after you secured the position of the leader of the port mafia did you reveal your own way and cold-bloodedness. You are worthy of being called the "Sen Xie".

"Don't worry, boss." The colonel stood up and walked out while patting his chest and assuring, "Since I already know how to break Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's special ability, I will not return empty-handed."

Mori Ogai sat at the head of the table, his white-gloved hands crossed in a tower shape on the table, exuding a dignified and arrogant aura: "Of course I trust the colonel, we'll wait for you to come back for the celebration banquet."

Douma:?! Wait… please don’t just do it so easily!!!

According to the development in the original work, the colonel officers were cruelly killed by Shibuzawa Ryuhiko in the dragon head battle.

Douma originally thought that with his spoilers and participation this time, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, whose supernatural power was cracked, would not be able to kill the colonel. However, after Mori Ougai's action, Douma became a little uncertain again.

If you don’t understand, just ask, is it possible that the laws of the second dimension can be broken in the second dimension world?

Douma suddenly had a bad feeling, but before he could open his mouth, he suggested changing someone.

To fight against Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, the colonel officer pushed the door and left in a hurry.

Ozaki Kouyo noticed that Douma seemed to have something to say, so she turned her head and looked at him curiously, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..." Douma thought about it, but didn't say much out of consideration for Moriogai who was still there: "No, nothing."

His current relationship with Mori Ogai is actually quite delicate, so it is better not to reveal more information in front of this black-hearted thousand-year-old fox. As for the colonel...it is up to him whether he can escape the dramatic murder.

Douma, who didn't want to confront Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, lowered his eyes and said no more. After all, his relationship with the colonel was just a nodding acquaintance.

Then that night, the port mafia patrol brought back the incomplete body of the colonel.

Douma, who had a premonition, sighed softly, and out of a subtle sense of guilt, he went to see the colonel for the last time, and then he discovered something very strange.

The colonel officer who originally seemed quite fragrant to him as a cannibal now turned into plain water, even worse than the ordinary people at the bottom. The bloody corpse fragments had no appeal to him at all.

For a moment, Douma even thought that he was no longer a cannibal, but had returned to the time when he was still a human. That was why he had no interest in such fresh flesh and blood, especially the flesh and blood of a psychic whose blood was comparable to that of rare blood.

But the next second, Nakahara Chuuya stepped into the room and ruthlessly shattered Douma's beautiful fantasy. He was still the cannibal, and nothing had changed.

Douma, who didn't realize something was wrong, said: "... Although, Chuuya, you smell so good~"

It is impossible to get angry, after all, it is so fragrant and sweet!
