Chapter 277 The Third Player

"——I see, it's the Special Powers Division."

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

Ever since Saikai Haruto said that he was a "supernatural life form", Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's expression became cold and he showed a lack of interest, as if everything was completely expected and he had no interest in it.

The same thing happened when he guessed that Saikai Haruto was talking about the Special Powers Special Service Department. The young man with messy long white hair lowered his eyebrows and his voice was flat like a straight line, as if he already knew everything, but had no interest at all.

In short, it is a high-level world-weary face.

Although he had nothing to do with Sakaguchi Ango even when he was in the Special Powers Division - after all, one was a researcher and the other was an intelligence agent, and they basically didn't want to do anything, but it was not difficult for Shibuzawa Ryuhiko to infer from the words of Saikai Haruto and Dazai Osamu that the "Ango-kun" they mentioned was an undercover agent sent to the Hong Kong underworld by the Special Powers Division, and that Saikai Haruto also appeared here because of the "Special Powers Division".

This kind of reasoning, which is too absurd and difficult for ordinary people to react to quickly, is very easy for Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

That's a really boring answer.

"What an interesting relationship, Mochizuki-kun, Dazai-kun, and that Sakaguchi-kun you mentioned."

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko suddenly changed the subject, his eyes moving from Saikai Haruto to Dazai Osamu, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't need anyone to respond:

"That Sakaguchi-kun is an undercover agent from the Special Powers Division. Both Dazai-kun and Mochizuki-kun knew his identity when Sakaguchi-kun infiltrated the Port Mafia... But Sakaguchi-kun himself didn't know that he had already been exposed."

"Let me guess. When Sakaguchi-kun contacted Mochizuki-kun, he might have felt guilty... But unfortunately, what Sakaguchi-kun didn't know was that both Mochizuki-kun and Dazai-kun already knew his identity, right?"

He said firmly.

It seemed that Sakaguchi Ango was hiding the truth from Odasaku, Dazai Osamu and Mochizuki Kaoru, but in fact, it was Dazai Osamu who was standing in a hidden corner and watching Sakaguchi Ango's every move from beginning to end. Mochizuki Kaoru knew the same thing but chose to keep it secret.

Xi Haiqing Dou was silent for a while.

"Ango must have thought about the possibility of his identity being exposed." Dazai Osamu said indifferently, "Ango has always been very careful."

Unless, Sakaguchi Ango is still deceiving himself - but even if he is deceiving himself, he must have thought of this.

"People from the Special Powers Division." Shibuzawa Ryuhiko snorted meaningfully, saying, "Most of them are like that, just like that Sakaguchi-kun, a bunch of self-righteous idiots."

"Although if you take it as amusement, it can occasionally be a good pastime, but the relationship between Mochizuki-kun and the Special Powers Division seems to be just that."

If he continues to talk like this, the image of "Mochizuki Kaoru" will obviously face a major collapse in the comics...so Saikai Haruto has no choice but to speak.

"Shibuzawa-kun probably misunderstood something." He said, "Although I consider Dazai and Ango as my friends, whether it is the Port Mafia or the Special Ability Division, their plans have nothing to do with me, and I am not a member of any organization. So what Dazai and Ango do on both sides is their business, and it has nothing to do with me."

"I am here because Ango asked me for help. For me, it has nothing to do with the Special Forces."

Everyone knows that Ango Sakaguchi asked him for help because of the Special Powers Division, but for "Mochizuki Kaoru", his agreement was only based on the standpoint that Ango Sakaguchi was his friend.

Just like he knew long ago that Sakaguchi Ango's undercover identity had been discovered by Dazai Osamu, but he had no idea of ​​telling Sakaguchi Ango - this does not mean that in Mochizuki Kaoru's heart she does not consider Sakaguchi Ango a friend, but whether it is the Port Mafia or the Special Powers Special Forces, they are the positions of Dazai Osamu and Sakaguchi Ango, not his.

"…What an unexpected answer."

He really didn't expect that the other party really regarded Sakaguchi Ango as a friend - it would be better to say that no matter who it was, after hearing his previous conversation with Dazai Osamu, no one would think that the two were friends.

No matter how you think about it, it seems a little ridiculous.

But what he just said seemed to be sincere. After all, at this moment, there was no need for him to lie.

Dazai Osamu seemed to be well adapted to this, as if he was not surprised that he would say such a thing. On the contrary, the "Dazai Osamu" beside "Mochizuki Kaoru" looked a little surprised.

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko glanced unexpectedly at the man opposite him who was wearing a dark blue kimono and had a calm expression.

This time he looked much more seriously than before.

Mochizuki Kaoru, a very unfamiliar name to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko before.

A few days ago, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko didn't know him.

But after he learned about the "book" and the existence of the two Dazai Osamu, it was hard for Shibuzawa Ryuhiko not to know him.

The man with a pair of gray-blue eyes had medium-length dark purple hair that just fell past his shoulders. His hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that he had not had time to comb his hair because he had hurriedly found this place, or perhaps he had not paid attention to it at all.

He was only wearing a kosode kimono and hakama, but no haori. Perhaps it was to make it easier to fight?

Judging from previous situations and some related rumors that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko knew, his skills should be quite good.

But his appearance and temperament hardly make people associate him with strength and violence, or even the overly grim title - "Dead Soul".

From her appearance, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko had no way of judging Mochizuki Kaoru's age.

The man in the eye undoubtedly has a good appearance, and his appearance can even be said to be overly graceful, but the coldness in his temperament forcibly suppresses the weirdness that comes from his appearance. Shibozawa Ryuhiko can only roughly confirm that his age is probably over 20 years old, but 21 years old is also over 20 years old, and 31 years old is also over 20 years old...but this point is very difficult for people to see clearly.

Sometimes a person's age can be easily told from their face, and sometimes it is difficult - for example, looking at the two "Dazai Osamu" in front of him, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko can easily judge that the Dazai Osamu holding the gun is probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, while the "Dazai Osamu" standing next to "Mochizuki Kaoru" should be over twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but definitely not over twenty-five.

The age of "Mochizuki Kaoru" is one that is difficult to tell from her appearance.

In particular, he has a pair of exceptionally beautiful and eye-catching eyes.

Narrow grey eyes with slightly upturned corners, perfectly standard phoenix eyes, pupils that are lead grey with a hint of blue, giving off a sense of distance when looking at people, and the most attractive thing is the look in those eyes – the colour is apparently cold and clean, but after looking at it for a long time it becomes deep and mysterious, as if there is an invisible vortex in those eyes, with countless secrets that people can't help but want to explore, but they can't see clearly no matter what, and may even make people unknowingly ignore the danger and fall into the abyss.

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko stared into his eyes for two seconds, and for a moment he felt as if he was being seen through. But when he came to his senses and looked carefully, there seemed to be nothing in those gray eyes, only a pure gray that could not be any purer - he did nothing, just stood there quietly and indifferently, watching.

One moment it felt like an abyss, and the next moment it felt like ice and snow.

A person with eyes like that, let alone being in his twenties or thirties, even if someone said he was forty, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko might believe it a little.

Two seconds later, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko looked away.

If he looked into those eyes for a long time, he would easily feel an inexplicable palpitation. It was because his brain sensed the danger and was warning him.

This feeling of palpitations is also one of the reasons why Shibuzawa Ryuhiko easily believed what he said before about the "supernatural life form".

That look in his eyes was as if this guy and they were in two completely unrelated worlds, and he was just standing aside and watching coldly, so there was an inexplicable sense of inhumanity - if he was said to be a "superpower life form" rather than a real human, it seemed reasonable.

The name "Dead Soul" overturned Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's previous thoughts. It was indeed - very suitable for him.

He looks like a steady scholar or a nobleman from a well-known family. He doesn't look like a killer or an intelligence dealer who moves easily in the gray and black areas. But as long as someone looks into his eyes for more than three seconds, no one will have any doubts about it.

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko is incomparably determined.

In fact, both the name "Mochizuki Kaoru" and the title "Dead Soul" are very unfamiliar to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.

After all, one is an "ordinary person" who has been hiding his identity and keeping a low profile for many years, and the other is a "legend" who has disappeared and died for more than ten years. In short, there is nothing worth knowing too much about either of them.

If he hadn't accidentally learned about the "book", Shibuzawa Ryuhiko would never have had any intersection with Mochizuki Kaoru.

But who could have made fate so ingenious that it happened that at this moment, because of Dazai Osamu and "books", he met "Mochizuki Kaoru", and because of another coincidence, he learned a deeper understanding about him.

Therefore, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko would never look at "Mochizuki Kaoru" as an ordinary person.

And if such a person were to team up with the Special Powers Division to deal with him...it would be really difficult for him to deal with.

After all, apart from anything else, just from the aspect of supernatural powers, "Mochizuki Kaoru" is enough to restrain him.

Shibuzawa Ryuhiko fell into deep thought.

Although to outsiders, his behavior seemed like he just glanced at "Mochizuki Kaoru" and then turned his eyes away indifferently and started to daydream...it was as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

"However, as a researcher in the Special Powers Division, why does someone suddenly appear here and use his special powers? I wonder what Shibuzawa-kun wants to do? Shibuzawa-kun, you seem to have crossed the line."

The deep and magnetic voice like a cello sounded again, and the tone was as calm as water, interrupting Shibuzawa Ryuhiko from his thoughts. His identity was revealed, but Shibuzawa Ryuhiko just said "hmm" and said nonchalantly: "Is this important?"

"How does Mochizuki define 'crossing the line'? My special ability does involve some ordinary people, but they are not in any danger, right? As for the two Dazai-kun and Mochizuki-kun, although they are both special ability users, they will not be affected by 'Ryuhiko no Ma', right?"

"Whether it's important or not is not decided by me, but by the Special Powers Special Affairs Department." "Mochizuki Kaoru" just said.

What this means is that the reason he appears here now is also due to the judgment made by the Special Powers Department - it was the Special Powers Department that judged that his behavior was "overstepping the line."

"Okay." Shibuzawa Ryuhiko sighed and looked at Mochizuki Kaoru casually: "So what is Mochizuki-kun's plan? Are you planning to kill me?"

Without waiting for his answer, he shook his head again, rejecting this answer: "No, the Special Ability Department will not agree. So, are you going to take me back to the Special Ability Department and lock me up again?"

"Ah, after all, the Special Power Department will never give up my special ability no matter what... Although it doesn't work on Dazai-kun and Mochizuki-kun, it is still effective for other special ability users, so the Special Power Department will certainly not kill me." Shibuzawa Ryuhiko said.

Although he is not a "transcendent", he is the only one in Japan who is controlled by the Special Powers Division and the government, and whose power is comparable to that of a "transcendent". In other words, let alone that he is just a little "crossing the line" now, even if he does more and more excessive things, as long as he doesn't really break the sky, the Special Powers Division will do its best to protect him and not let him die - the Special Powers Division is also the reason why he dares to act recklessly now.

Both Mochizuki Kaoru and Shibuzawa Ryuhiko knew this very well.

The reason why the Special Forces Division was so eager to bring Shibuzawa Ryuhiko back was not because his actions were too blatant and excessive, dragging so many ordinary people in Yokohama into it, but because his actions were clearly out of the control of the Special Forces Division, so they wanted to get him back into their hands.

So no matter what, Mochizuki Kaoru would not kill him. Shibuzawa Ryuhiko came to the conclusion easily.

Mochizuki Kaoru's expression was indifferent, and she still said, "It has nothing to do with me."

But Shibuzawa Ryuhiko saw clearly that he was still standing beside "Dazai Osamu", and did not appear beside him as he had said before.

...Is it to protect that "Dazai Osamu"?

An inexplicable thought flashed through his mind, and Shibuzawa Ryuhiko raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you curious, Mochizuki-kun? Besides, why didn't the Special Ability Division take more actions to find me in the beginning, but just let me do what I did?"

"As for my purpose..." He smiled and acted politely, "As a researcher in the Special Powers Division, I am interested in the 'book' that has been hidden deep in the Special Powers Division. I would like to borrow it from Dazai-kun. I wonder if Dazai-kun can fulfill this small wish of mine?"

It is meaningless to try to cover up the truth by doing clumsy things and saying sweet words in front of smart people. Shibuzawa Ryuhiko never does such a thing.

Some words just need to be said briefly.

——As a researcher in the Special Powers Division, why did he travel so smoothly and find two "Dazai Osamu" so quickly? Why did he never know about the existence of the "book" before, but suddenly learned about it from the meeting between Mochizuki Kaoru and the Special Powers Division this time?

Is it all coincidence? Shibuzawa Ryuhiko doesn't think so.

The Special Powers Agency would also like to know where the "book" is now, and there is a high possibility that he wants to bring the "book" back to the Special Powers Agency... His purpose also overlaps with that of the Special Powers Agency, doesn't it?

Not a single word he said was a lie.

——It was obvious that when he finished speaking, all the "Dazai Osamu" had changed expressions.

On the contrary, it was Mochizuki Kaoru's performance that made Shibuzawa Ryuhiko a little unsure... His expression was still calm and composed, as if everything was under his control and his expression did not change at all.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Mochizuki-kun, you also know the existence of the 'book', right?" He said, and then turned his gaze to Dazai Osamu: "What do you think, Dazai-kun?"
