Chapter 105 Seventeen Presidents
As luck would have it, Akae Nazuki was not actually lured here by Nakajima Atsushi and his gang via text messages or phone calls. He just learned about their actions from Noah, who was already monitoring those Feijia pawns in the government. So he just happened to escape from being surrounded by a group of his good gorilla friends and rushed to Yokohama without stopping.
In order to prevent any unexpected events, Akae went to see Dazai Osamu before leaving that month, and the two of them enjoyed a rare quiet afternoon tea time without being disturbed by anyone.
Although Dazai Osamu ate a baguette that he found from some corner, Akae Nayue drank a special strong instant coffee that she hid secretly.
"Are you angry? I haven't told you anything this time." Dazai Osamu suddenly asked without any context.
"Well... a little bit." Akae Nazuki rested her chin on one hand and answered bluntly, "If they hadn't shifted their target to me because of the fusion of the worlds, you would have gone by yourself, Mr. Dazai."
What he said was completely affirmative, and he didn't give Dazai any chance to refute.
Akae Nazuki had said long ago that he and Dazai Osamu had reached a consensus on the intelligence of another world. They rarely talked about the "future", so their conversation was not about Dazai Osamu not warning Akae Nazuki of the danger in advance. The focus was on the second half of Akae Nazuki's answer.
Having been this man's student for so many years, Chi Jiang Na Yue's almost entire life experience is influenced by him, not to mention his personality and way of doing things. He knows his teacher as well as he knows himself.
Dazai Osamu smiled calmly and winked at the students.
Akae Nayue inexplicably recalled something that had nothing to do with the current situation: he remembered that in the first two years, Dazai Osamu had expressed his preferences for food, such as baguette and eel rice, and various kinds of wine and crabs.
But after becoming the leader of the port mafia, Dazai Osamu no longer had any preference for any food. In fact, most of the time, in order to work and prevent poisoning, this man could go without food for a long time and only rely on drinking water to sustain himself.
This bad living habit not only caused Dazai Osamu to suffer from stomach problems, but also made the people around Dazai Osamu develop a conditioned reflex to pay close attention to the food that appeared in front of this guy's mouth.
By the way, where did the teacher buy the baguette? It should definitely be blacklisted, as it looks like it can compete with the homemade slab tofu...
Chijiang Nayue put away the endless thoughts in her mind.
"Anyway, I won't beg for you, teacher." He stuck out his tongue, not looking mature or steady at all. Instead, he looked like a high school student, which was surprisingly consistent with his age. "If Mr. Odasaku asks, I will tell him the truth."
Then let Oda Saku, the only person in the world who can control his own teacher, punish the former Hong Kong and black boss who is still restless after retirement.
"Eh? Really, children are no longer fun when they grow up." Dazai Osamu looked at him with a smile, selectively filtering out the complaints of "I'm not a child anymore" in his ears, and changed his face to a deliberately pitiful expression in a second, "This is really threatening me, please don't tell Odasaku."
"It's so fake. We're both retiring, but why are your acting skills getting worse and worse?"
"Maybe it's because I'm really retired, but you're still working overtime!"
"…Hello, is this Mr. Odasaku? The teacher said that he—" Akae Nazuki looked at the screen of his mobile phone, his head raised in the shadow cast by Dazai Osamu who leaned over to help him hang up the phone. He said innocently, "What's wrong? Teacher—?"
Dazai Osamu lowered his eyelids and fixed his gaze deep into Akae Nayue's eyes. After a while, he moved away and let the sunlight shine on this face again.
"I didn't know you had such a bad personality when you were little." Dazai Osamu's back sank into the soft backrest of the chair, complaining in a half-truthful tone, "You must have learned bad habits during the time you followed Chuuya, right?"
Chijiang Nayue did not continue to talk nonsense after hearing this, but changed the subject in an instant.
"I will be away for a while, and I will ask you to take care of the detective agency from now on. Although I have put some protections on Hiro and the others, I still feel uneasy. Please make sure they don't die, and I will take revenge on the rest myself..."
"Natsuki-kun, this is the first time I've listened to someone patiently say something like a last will in front of me in real life." Dazai Osamu's expression disappeared. He looked at the black-haired young man coldly and shouted out the name he had called Akae Natsuki in front of others when he was in the mafia. "Don't you know exactly what will happen?"
This was the second time Dazai Osamu had said the same thing to this person.
Chi Jiang Na Yue looked at the sky and the earth: "This time is different. If I get serious now, I will probably destroy the world soon, much faster than Fei Jia's detour... I just want to play with them. I may get hurt, but it's not enough to kill me, right?"
He believed that his past self had indeed done something that left a psychological shadow on someone like Dazai Osamu, but now that he had a reason to live, how could he easily make another sacrifice? Besides, Fei Jia was very strong, and Fukuchi Sakurachi was also very strong, but they were all human.
As long as one is human, he or she has weaknesses, and whether from the way he or she was born or the experience of almost merging with the world to become the new world Kamisama, Akajang is not a pure human.
"I'm the strongest - ah, does that sound weird?" In the blink of an eye, Akajinazuki stood on the balcony railing. He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled at Dazai Osamu, with a deep red gravity factor spreading over his body. "So don't worry, teacher, I'll be back soon."
As if in a hurry, he jumped directly from the edge of the balcony.
Dazai Osamu sat for a while, reached out to take the porcelain cup in front of the empty seat opposite him, and slowly drank the cold black coffee in it.
He knows his students as well as he knows himself.
What is the standard for judging humans? Would Chi Jiang Na Yue not know this? As long as humans have weaknesses, does Chi Jiang Na Yue really not have any?
"It tastes terrible." Someone, who was becoming increasingly picky about food, commented with disdain.
Never mind, he is a teacher after all.
—
The detective agency that received the call from Izumi Kyoka was just preparing to ask them to return as soon as possible. After that, Edogawa Ranpo made a quick decision and sent the addresses of the three people directly to Akae Nazuki who happened to be on her way to Yokohama.
That's why he happened to be here at this time.
Akae Nayue was not surprised that Shibuzawa Ryuhiko would set foot in Yokohama again, or rather, he knew what was going on when he saw Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.
Fyodor, it was that demon who lured collectors to Yokohama.
If you think about it for a moment, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability is to indiscriminately attack all psychics except those who are invalidated. No matter what purpose Fyodor wants to achieve, as long as he puts Shibuzawa Ryuhiko in this city of psychics, even if the Five Decays of Heaven plan fails to frame him, the government will still find ways to smear the mafia, and Yokohama will still fall into chaos.
If we ignore this variable, this is a good plan.
Fyodor must have guessed that he would come to Yokohama in advance, so Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was not actually Fyodor's real backup plan... Then, what else will come to Yokohama? "The Five Decays of Heaven", Shibuzawa Ryuhiko and the last one, a total of three waves of attacks on this city.
Chijiang Nayue loosened the hair wrapped around his fingers, and his thoughts and guesses that had been going on in his heart for a moment did not show even a little bit on his face. He smiled flawlessly at Shibuzawa Ryuhiko who was standing close to him.
"Please don't do anything to other people's children, Shibuze-kun." Akajinazuki pretended that the person who had just deliberately approached was not him, and did not forget to tease the other party sincerely, "But your hair is well maintained, it feels very comfortable."
In stark contrast to the tone of voice is the calm thinking within.
It can't be wrong, Chijiang Nayue thought.
The one here now is not the real Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, but a ball of supernatural energy, which should be the incarnation of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural power.
He blinked, and there were no labels like [Kleinju] marked everywhere in his field of vision, and there was no character panel next to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko.
This is of course, because Chijiang Nayue had turned off the Klein kettle a few minutes ago.
"Mr. Shibuzawa, do you know what the special features of supernatural powers are?" he asked suddenly, interrupting Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's words.
The man with silver hair and red eyes frowned, with an expression of surprise on his face.
When contradictory or identical superpowers collide, the superpower phenomena will interfere with each other, and the special phenomenon that arises is called a "special point".
Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's ability [Ryuhiko's Space] can separate the psychic and the psychic into two independent individuals in the thick fog. When the psychic dies, he can separate the opponent's psychic crystals from the corpse and turn them into his own collection.
Akae Nazuki's special ability, "Klein's Pot," is to achieve the fourth disaster in three dimensions by virtualizing the real world into data.
As the only player in the real world, he can use the common method of "learning other people's skills" in games to copy and reshape the abilities of the superpowers he has come into contact with.
That is to say, from a certain perspective, the two people's abilities are similar in some aspects, and unfortunately, they are both extremely powerful catastrophic-level abilities.
Therefore, Akae Nayue also knew that if a special point was born between him and Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, the energy generated and the still unknown final effect might be enough to achieve the cleansing plan for all mankind in one step, and everyone would be game over together.
Ha, this is not a joke.
Akae Nazuki speculated that Fyodor only guessed that his supernatural powers were very similar to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's, and did not know what his specific abilities were, so he used this group of Shibuzawa Ryuhiko's supernatural incarnations to test him.
After all, if the real Shibuzawa Ryuhiko was in front of him, there would be no difference between them as long as the other party did not actively use supernatural powers to collide with him. But the one in front of him was different. It was actually the walking [Ryuhiko Space] itself.
Chijiang Nayue complained in her heart that Feijia's guy must have been thinking "It would be best if Yokohama was blown up, but at least we had fun watching it"!
According to that guy's script, should he fight with Shibuzawa Ryuhiko next, or notify the Mafia or the secret service to arrest him?
Akae Nazuki looked at Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, smiled kindly and asked, "Ah, don't worry about it. What I want to say has nothing to do with the special point. I'm just asking casually - so Shibuzawa-kun, do you want to go back to the detective agency with us?"
His topic was so jumpy that the other four people present were unable to react.
"I say, Shibuze-kun actually lost some of his memory, right?" Akajinazuki decisively tore up Fyodor's script and replaced it with his own. "Then, do you want to try to ask the detective agency for help?"
He pulled out the little tiger that he had protected behind him, and showed the confused white-haired boy to Shibuzawa Ryuhiko, his voice like a devil's whisper: "Atsushi-kun, you are also a member of the detective club."
Under the horrified gaze of Nakajima Atsushi and others, Shibuzawa Ryuhiko nodded for some unknown reason.
This time it was Kunikida Dopo's turn to be horrified when he saw a face he had seen on a wanted warrant not long ago as soon as he opened the door of the detective agency.
"That Yue - what did you bring back?"
Akae Nazuki said sullenly, "Excuse me, Senior Kunikida. This person is a client of the detective agency, right?"
...That's totally wrong!!
