Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Mist, Superpowers and... (I...
"'A famous spot we already knew about'..." Dazai Osamu muttered several times. This was the answer to Saionji's earlier tale. "Yokohama has many places that could be considered famous, but I can only think of one place that the White Kirin would choose as his base."
Yuyin dug up old memories from her mind, "I almost forgot, when you were still in the Port Mafia, Dazai-san, you fought against Shibusawa Tatsuhiko together with Nakahara Chuuya. In other words, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was defeated by you." The Special Ability Agent Department was just the one that reaped the rewards of victory in the end.
Dazai Osamu smiled and did not respond. Now it was known that there were only a handful of people in Yokohama who knew that he had been a senior official of the Port Mafia. He was not secretive about his past, but he would not spread it around with a loud speaker and cause unnecessary trouble to his friends and the Armed Detective Agency where he was currently working.
"Dazai, what place are you guessing?" Although Odasaku was driving, he was always paying attention to the conversation behind him. When necessary, he would quickly add a sentence to ease the atmosphere between Saionji and Dazai, who were still unfamiliar with each other.
"[Hibise]," Dazai Osamu said confidently, "It's an abandoned high-rise building in the heart of the Yokohama Concession. Due to subjective and objective factors, it's very likely that Shibusawa Ryuhiko chose this place."
Yuyin asked, "Why?"
Dazai Osamu quickly replied, "Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is a self-righteous perfectionist, so arrogant he even believes the world and life are meaningless. He considers himself superior to others, so naturally he would choose an extremely tall building to match his perceived status. Yokohama has many extremely tall buildings, but few are also extremely tall and secluded, free from external interference, and convenient for his next plan. After multiple rounds of selection, the [Hyakushoku] was the final answer."
As expected, the person who knows you best is usually your enemy. Yuyin was convinced by Dazai Osamu's reasoning, "After sending Mr. Ango off, let's go to that [Skull Fortress] first."
Saionji Tamon looked out the car window. After the battle, the night was getting darker and the neon lights on the roadside were lit up, adding a sense of decadence and extravagance to the city of Yokohama.
If possible, Yuyin wanted to resolve this incident quickly. She had promised Keigo that she would go watch his match, but today, shortly after arriving in Yokohama, she hadn't even had a chance to say anything to Ango before they were attacked by the enemy, wasting considerable time. If she could use the useful information she had gained from the enemy to take a shortcut to the final boss, she wholeheartedly supported it.
"It's not that simple," Dazai Osamu shook his index finger. "Since the demon has already taken action, Shibusawa Ryuhiko will follow suit, whether it's his own will or the demon's instigation. We might encounter him in the next moment..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car suddenly made a sharp turn, turned 360 degrees in the middle of the road, and then drove smoothly in the direction it came from.
The two people who had been wearing their seat belts in the back seat and the unconscious Ango Sakaguchi were suddenly pulled to and fro by inertia. If it weren't for the seat belts, they would have definitely come into close contact with the car walls on both sides.
"Hey, Odasaku, if you have any objections to me, just say it directly. There's no need to get angry like this." Dazai Osamu rubbed his dizzy head and complained half-seriously.
"Dazai, there's a huge fog ahead of us, spreading towards us. It's very similar to the mysterious fog mentioned in the information I read before." Odasaku's face became serious for a rare time, and he quickly explained his discovery.
Yuyin and Dazai Osamu immediately turned their heads and looked out the rear window of the car, and indeed saw the fog spreading rapidly in the distance.
"It's Shibusawa Ryuhiko. His ability can separate the abilities of other people with special abilities in the fog, causing them to kill each other. Damn, the range of his fog wasn't originally so large. He must have used other methods to amplify his ability and expand the range. If this continues, the whole of Yokohama will be shrouded in fog!" The situation was urgent, and Dazai Osamu spoke quickly and immediately put forward his analysis.
His eyes rolled, and in the blink of an eye he came up with a solution. He rarely put aside his past grudges, and held the unconscious Sakaguchi Ango's hand with one hand, and reached forward with the other hand, "Quick, Odasaku, let me hold your shoulder. As for Miss Saionji, can your so-called talisman paper withstand this?" When he deliberately reached out to pat her shoulder before, he was stopped by Saionji. Both of them knew that this was a test, and at this moment it played its due role. "If you think it won't work, you can hold my hand." Dazai Osamu raised the hand he was holding with Sakaguchi Ango and shook it, "If Ango-kun wasn't unconscious, I wouldn't take the initiative to hold a man's hand. Sweet and soft girls are still more lovely~"
Seeing Dazai Osamu fall back into his old ways midway through his serious talk, Yuyin shook her head and said, "I think I can handle it."
She took the initiative to open the protective barrier. Needless to say, since the world merged, her speed in casting the barrier has been getting faster and faster. The barrier range covered the four people in the car. She said to Dazai Osamu, "Dazai-san, if you trust me, you can now touch Mr. Ango and Mr. Oda's hands."
It seems that the prerequisite for Dazai Osamu's supernatural power to take effect is undoubtedly physical contact, Yuyin thought.
Dazai Osamu followed his instructions and loosened his hands, and the rapidly spreading fog soon caught up with the moving vehicle. Under the protective barrier, none of the four people suffered from their supernatural powers being deprived or separated. Dazai Osamu and Odasaku did not show it on the surface, but they were relieved in their hearts.
Yuyin couldn't help but remind: "Be careful!"
But other vehicles on the road were not so lucky. Under the influence of fog, ordinary people disappeared out of thin air, while unmanned vehicles twisted and swayed randomly on the road, either hitting telephone poles or roadside stores.
Odasaku had superb driving skills. He turned the steering wheel slowly and steadily without being reminded, perfectly avoiding all the "attacking" vehicles.
"Beautiful!" Dazai Osamu applauded enthusiastically, his eyes shining. "No matter how many times I see it, Odasaku, your dodge is always so perfect."
"Ah, if you can predict the collision location in advance, it won't be difficult to dodge." The honest man Odasaku answered like this, and then he thought of something and said to Saionji, "Ms. Saionji, do you know my ability? I can predict what will happen nearby five to six seconds later. As a partner, I think you should know." This will facilitate cooperation in battle and will not hinder each other, resulting in a result where one plus one is less than two.
Yuyin nodded: "I've heard a little bit, but not as detailed as you told me."
As for who let her know about Oda Sakunosuke's abilities, the three of them agreed not to mention it again.
"Oh, speaking of foresight, I almost thought I'd awakened the power of prophecy. I just mentioned that Shibusawa Ryuhiko wouldn't sit still, but I didn't expect him to take action right before my eyes the next second."
Dazai Osamu spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.
"I've heard that all prophecies are the result of careful logical reasoning. Dazai-san knows Shibusawa Tatsuhiko very well and can accurately predict his next move. This is of course not surprising." Yuyin continued, changing the subject. "We all saw that the ordinary people in the nearby cars and on the street have disappeared. It seems that Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's mist only works on those with special abilities. Right now, we psychics and ordinary people should be in the same location, but in different spaces. Only by eliminating the source of the mist, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, can everything return to normal."
Dazai Osamu: "So, we still have to go to [Hakusai]."
Yuyin pointed at the unconscious Sakaguchi Ango beside her and said helplessly: "But we can't take Mr. Ango with us."
"Oh," Dazai Osamu tapped his palm, "I almost forgot that Ango-kun was still in the car. There's nothing I can do, his presence is really too low." He didn't even mention that in the emergency just now, he immediately reached out to shake the other person's hand.
"Mr. Oda, Mr. Dazai, your detective agency's location is also shrouded in mystery, right?" Yuyin asked worriedly. "So, isn't Dr. Yosano's place unsafe, either?"
She was not like her former boss who had just handed over a seriously injured but now unconscious boss and then came back to find that the boss was even more seriously injured and was in the hospital.
"Emmm," Dazai Osamu pondered, "Except for... everyone else should be struggling with their own abilities right now, especially Atsushi-kun who just joined the club. There's no need to worry too much about Kagome-chan."
The implication is that the Armed Detective Agency must be in chaos right now.
It was already time to get off work at this time in the evening, and everyone in the detective agency had gone home to rest. It was after Saionji contacted Odasaku, who contacted the president, and the president suddenly notified everyone to gather together.
While they were talking, Oda turned the car around again with very gentle movements and drove towards the original destination.
He suddenly asked, "Ms. Saionji, may I ask how large the range of your barrier protecting the Shibusawa Mist is?"
Yuyin answered honestly, "For now, I've only expanded it to cover the interior of this car. Don't worry, if necessary, I can expand the barrier. It won't cover the entire Yokohama like Shibusawa, but it should be enough to cover the space you need to fight."
"This will be quite draining on you, Miss Saionji, and it will also distract you," said Odasaku, a veteran of combat. "I have an idea."
Dazai's face darkened. "You want Saionji to lift the barrier around you and let you out to face Shibusawa Ryuhiko's power head-on? You're crazy. After the power was separated, you lost your ability to predict the future, but your power form didn't. This is not a fair fight."
Tamane didn't know why Dazai had this PTSD-like reaction, but Odasaku knew it very well. It was because of the hard battle he had with Kid, who also had the ability to predict the future. Although he had no intention of dying after learning that the children were safe, the tragic scene still greatly shocked Dazai who rushed over, and he almost thought he was dead.
"Calm down, Dazai."
Odasaku stopped the car and turned to look at Dazai Osamu with a determined look.
"Since you believe that Atsu-kun, who just joined the club, can overcome his past, his inner demons, and his supernatural powers, it's impossible that I can't do it. I'm not someone who relies entirely on supernatural powers."

The author has something to say: On the eve of some big battles, I hope everyone doesn't think Yuyin has too few scenes, because soon all the scenes will be hers
I'm pretty inspired recently, I'll try to finish this article this month.
