Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Mist, Superpowers, and Special-Grade Curse Spirits...
"Wow~ It seems that the repair costs this time are inevitable." Before the car stopped, Dazai Osamu put his hand on his forehead and hurriedly stuck his head out of the car window to look out.
With the detective agency building as the center, there were constant sounds of gunfire and occasional loud bangs of grenades exploding, as if a large group of people were engaged in a fierce battle.
But Odasaku and Dazai Osamu, who knew the detective agency members very well, knew very well that the commotion must have been caused by two people. Oh no, strictly speaking, it was caused by one person and one special ability - Kunikida's special ability [Unparalleled Ginko], which can materialize things written on notebook paper, and the size cannot exceed the size of the notebook.
In intense battles, Kunikida favored the use of grenades. While the exchange of fire in the building seemed intense, judging by the frequency, it seemed like no more than three people were fighting, making Kunikida and his abilities the most likely candidates. The others, however, preferred cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
Odasaku quickly picked up his gun and said, "I'll go help. When it's safe, you can bring Ango-kun up."
Dazai suddenly turned to look at Saionji: "Will the Special Ability Division reimburse these losses? Since it was Saionji you who requested the detective agency's support?"
Yuyin smiled. "Please contact Mr. Ango for reimbursement. He should have a long-standing relationship with your detective agency. Also, I no longer have an official position, so please don't ask me about the Special Branch. Thank you."
"Hey, Ango, wake up, wake up." Dazai Osamu took advantage of the situation and grabbed Sakaguchi Ango, shaking him and shouting, "Yokohama is about to be destroyed, how can you sleep at this time!"
I don’t know if it was because he shouted too loudly, or shook too violently, or if a certain key word was so gripping that it actually woke someone up.
"I, I... this is..." Sakaguchi Ango opened his eyes hazily, and what he saw was Dazai Osamu's huge face, which looked a little scary because he was too close. "Dazai-kun?"
Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "You're awake! Haha, if you keep sleeping, Yokohama will be destroyed."
"I remember..." Ango Sakaguchi held his forehead and recalled with difficulty.
"Mr. Ango," Yuyin warned, noting this, "you were driving me when an explosion occurred. The perpetrator has revealed himself to be the demon Fyodor."
"It's him!" Sakaguchi Ango rarely showed a look of anxiety, "Saionji, are you okay?"
In the past, people or forces that had fought against the demon had all suffered major setbacks and heavy losses. When Sakaguchi Ango heard that he had actually appeared in public, he couldn't help but be frightened.
"Look, she's here in one piece, so the outcome is obvious. But Ango, you're no match for him. You didn't even see him, and you were nearly sent to hell." Dazai Osamu's tone was filled with sarcasm. "If it weren't for your well-hidden trump card, Saionji, you'd be in great danger this time. No wonder you deliberately lied about his death when you knew Oda Sakuman was searching for his benefactor in Yokohama."
Sakaguchi Ango fell silent. He hadn't lied to Odasaku in the past, but in Dazai Osamu's eyes, that was the truth. However, since he had promised Saionji to keep her secret, anyone in Yokohama who knew of her past in the Special Ability Division would suspect that this was his plan. He had no intention of making excuses, and he couldn't.
"I asked Mr. Ango to keep my affairs secret and not tell Mr. Oda."
Yuyin wasn't one to let others take the blame for her, so she immediately explained, "I've already explained this to Mr. Oda, and he's understanding. Bringing up old matters now and being aggressive isn't very appropriate at this critical moment, Dazai-san."
Dazai Osamu sneered, "That's why I've always told Odasaku that government lackeys are the least suitable to be friends."
Yuyin, who was shot innocently, rolled her eyes: Okay, I can see that you had a good relationship before, and you are very resentful after the relationship broke down. Do you want to consider me as an outsider? I am just here for a simple field mission, and I don’t want to be used as a raft by you.
"Dazai-kun, I have no response to your accusations against me." Ango Sakaguchi, having recovered from his serious injuries, looked pale, the kind of paleness that comes from excessive blood loss. He pushed up his glasses, which still bore cracks from the explosion. His tone was so calm he didn't seem to be talking to himself. "You were the one who just said Yokohama was about to be destroyed, weren't you? Look at the thick fog outside. Has Shibusawa Tatsuhiko already taken action? The most important thing right now is for me to contact the men on standby at the special base. After exchanging information, we can resolve this incident as quickly as possible."
"Oh, then you'll have to wait," Dazai Osamu chuckled. "Odasaku has gone up to help. Normal cell phones have no signal in this fog, so we have to use the special communication device at the detective agency."
Yuyin wanted to help and speed things up, but she was afraid that if she left, the tense atmosphere between the two of them might lead to a murder. She had finally saved Mr. Ango, and while she was hesitating, Odasaku, the atmosphere's savior, returned.
"Is Ango-kun awake?"
Odasaku was first surprised and concerned about the patient. Then, Yosano Akiko, who was following behind him, stretched her head to look at Sakaguchi Ango and couldn't help complaining: "What? The person is not dead." Her clothes were a little uneven, which was caused by the battle with her own superpowers just now.
"Emmm," she looked at Ango Sakaguchi seriously for a few seconds, "In your case, you need nutritional supplements. Glucose or plasma drips are the fastest ways, but..." She spread her hands and showed a helpless expression.
Tamane, who was most concerned about Sakaguchi Ango's safety, couldn't help but ask, "But?"
Dazai Osamu was quite certain: "Has your superpower destroyed almost everything in the medical room?"
Yosano crossed his arms, "That's it. Now we have two options. This is the only remaining bottle of glucose I just found. We're short of beds and needles right now, so just do it. Or if you prefer the second option," Yosano said with a wild expression, pulling out his favorite chainsaw from behind, "cut me first, and let me heal you with my supernatural powers."
Yuyin and Sakaguchi Ango couldn't help but break out in sweat. They had heard about the horror of this "Angel of Death" before, but they didn't expect that meeting him would be even more terrifying than their reputation.
"I choose glucose!" Sakaguchi Ango said without hesitation.
Yosano showed a disappointed expression, but still handed the bottle of glucose solution to Sakaguchi Ango: "Here. Oral administration requires your body to convert it, so it won't take effect as quickly."
"Thank you." Ango Sakaguchi took the Gulu Gulu and drank it in one gulp. He looked so impatient, afraid that Yosano would regret it.
"Where are the others?" Dazai Osamu asked after looking around.
"Kunikida-kun went to get a special communication device so we can use it later," Odasaku, still honest, replied. "When the fog broke out, everyone was at the detective agency. The gathering of psychics caused too much harm. To avoid implicating others, Atsushi-kun and Kyoka took the initiative to divert their psychics and ran away. The president chased after them, but everyone else is still at the detective agency."
"In that case, then..."
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Dazai Osamu had just started to speak when Yuyin suddenly interrupted him.
She gazed into the depths of the fog. A familiar, ominous force emanated from the fog, growing deeper and closer.
It is the power of the curse, the power of the curse emitted by the curse spirit.
In fact, when the fog began to spread, Yuyin felt a faint cursed energy in the fog, but at that time she thought it was due to Yokohama itself.
Yokohama, a place where psychics and Mafia organizations are rampant, is a natural breeding ground for cursed spirits. In the past, it was only because they were in different worlds that many cursed spirits were not born. However, since the fusion of the worlds, every time Yuyin travels to Yokohama, she finds that more and more cursed spirits are breeding on this land, and the cursed power generated in the environment is becoming more and more dense.
So when she felt the cursed power in the fog this time, Yuyin was not particularly alert. She simply thought that the cursed spirit, as a special energy body, was also enveloped by Shibusawa Ryuhiko's supernatural power.
The rustling sound, similar to the howling of wild beasts, was getting closer and closer.
She warned in a stern voice: "Everyone be alert!"

While Tamane was waiting anxiously for Oda Saku and the others to pick her up and was on her way to the detective agency, Fyodor had already used Gogol's spatial ability to jump several times and arrived at the base speculated by Tamane and the others, [Skeleton Fortress].
The tall spire building is just like its current name, looking like a skeleton left over from the past, and also like an isolated fortress.
Fyodor entered alone, and Gogol stood bored on the top of the spire, enjoying the freedom and comfort of overlooking the world.
Not long after, no one knew what they had discussed, but an endless fog arose with [Skeleton Fortress] as the center and spread outward.
Gogol seized the opportunity and moved into the [Skeleton Fortress] before the fog touched him.
"My friend, your idea is not just to use Shibusawa Ryuhiko's ability to slaughter all the superpowers in Yokohama, or even the whole world."
He suddenly appeared upside down in front of Fyodor who was walking alone in the empty corridor. If it were someone else, they might be frightened by his surprise of turning back to life.
"Of course not," Fyodor said, the curve of his lips unchanged. "The real climax of the drama is yet to come. The hunter thinks he is a hunter, stalking the animals in the forest, but he doesn't know that the real beast has already set its sights on him, and he has nowhere to escape."
Gogol, happy to play witty banter with him, jumped down from the teleportation hole in mid-air, "Oh~? As a participant in this wonderful play, I wonder if I have the honor of knowing even a tiny part of this drama?"
"Of course, a key prop, the real 'poison apple'."
The corners of Fyodor's lips widened, and he took out a wooden box wrapped with complicated talisman paper from his arms.
Gogol lowered his head and examined it carefully. "Emmm, this kind of paper with weird scribblings on it? Do you really believe what those self-proclaimed curse masters say?"
Fyodor raised his head and said, "Of course I know that the other party also wants to use me. That curse master with a scar on his forehead and wearing strange robes suddenly appeared in front of me, but I also need to use his power to glimpse the inner world of another world."
He lifted the small wooden box, his smile growing increasingly mysterious. "Aren't you curious? What will become of the supernatural powers left behind by the deceased Shibusawa Ryuhiko, combined with this thing?"
It is said that it is the fusion of the top forces of two different worlds.
"Of course I—"
The clown magician pressed down the brim of his hat and revealed an extremely arrogant smile.
"Of course I'm very interested~~~"
*
Five seconds later.
Located in the center of the [Corpse] high-rise building, the special-grade cursed spirit [Shibusawa Ryuhiko] is generated.
