Chapter 196 Twenty-one Presidents

As soon as Fukuchi Sakurachi stepped out of the hotel lobby, she received a call from Fyodor through a special channel. The content was only a short sentence, but it made Fukuchi Sakurachi's face change instantly.

【Ryuhiko is about to be released. 】

Why so suddenly? He remembered that in Fyodor's original plan, the Tatsuhiko event should not be triggered until Akae Nazuki and Shibuzawa Tatsuhiko come into contact and produce a special point. If it is released now, it means that there is something wrong with the plan.

—Damn, that vampire!

He gritted his teeth and didn't want to think about the fact that Fukuzawa Yukichi had used this one and only opportunity to trick him out, which meant that the person who did it would definitely not fail. Also...

Fukuchi Sakurachi's ability is to amplify the performance of the weapon in his hand by a hundred times. Combined with the divine sword that can travel through time and space, he can even pierce the heart of an enemy far away. He can also use the divine sword to cut off his past failures and achieve the reality of never losing.

But the disadvantage is that the original range of the divine sword is only a few centimeters. Even if it is expanded to a hundred times by supernatural powers, it only becomes dozens of meters.

The room he booked this time in Yokohama was completely beyond the ground he was currently standing on! If it wasn't a coincidence, it meant that the person behind the plan already knew what the effect of his ability was.

But is this possible? Fukuchi Sakurachi has always kept the secret of his supernatural power and the divine sword tightly. Even Edogawa Ranpo needs to see him fail in cutting in order to judge the effect of his supernatural power, right?

A name popped into his mind at this moment.

Akae Nazuki is the only unmeasured variable in the plan, and is also the current owner of the suspected book.

A year ago, Fukuchi Sakurachi was ready to implement his plan, but the world suddenly merged at that time. After he found that something was wrong, he discussed with Fyodor to temporarily suspend the plan and wait and see for a while.

And just recently, he ended his wait-and-see attitude and thought that the plan could be implemented again, but who knew that it was Chijiang Nayue who made the mistake again.

Fukuchi Sakurachi walked quickly out of the elevator and ran towards her room, and then her heart sank.

Not to mention the vampire lord in the room, even the coffin was moved away...

……?

They stole the vampire, so they were going to run away, right? Why were they still carrying that thing around as a burden?

If Xiaowen could hear Fukuchi Sakura's foolish confusion, he could give the most simple and unpretentious answer.

The answer is that neither of them wanted to carry a vampire Count with only a head left. The Count himself just wanted to sleep and didn't seem to have any objection to where he was moved - or maybe he fell asleep again before he had time to object.

Finally, they agreed to move Blum's coffin directly.

Oh, sorry, I should say Blum's 'bed'.

Na Yue Chi Jiang, holding a child in her arms and with a coffin floating beside her, landed on the rooftop of the Armed Detective Agency in this very scary shape.

"——This is so exciting!" Xiao Wen shouted excitedly, "Brother Yue, that guy just now is the bad policeman in the movie. You want to punish him! Right?"

In Xiaowen's eyes, no matter whether Chi Jiang Na Yue's title of police officer has the suffix "ex" in front of it, Chi Jiang Na Yue is the best police officer in her mind and an absolute partner of justice.

So, isn't the person who carries a vampire with only a head left and goes against his righteous partners a bad person?

Chijiang Nayue thought for a moment.

He knew what Fukuchi Sakurachi wanted. That person wanted to use the pages of books to change the world, so that there would be no more wars in this world, so that mankind would be united forever, and the world would be peaceful.

Frankly speaking, this is impossible. Anyone who has been to school would not have such naive ideas... However, from a righteous perspective, this is indeed an idealized world that people yearn for.

The premise is that Fukuchi Sakurachi did not destroy those lives that should not have died for the sake of his own ideals. Perhaps in this case, Akae Nayue could still have some respect for that person.

Chi Jiang Na Yue nodded seriously: "Yes, but in order not to alert the enemy, I would like to ask Xiao Wen to keep it a secret for me for the time being?"

The little girl covered her mouth instantly and nodded excitedly.

She watched Chi Jiang Na Yue open Blum's coffin again, and very consciously ran to the corner and squatted down with her ears covered, refusing to listen to the conversation between Chi Jiang Na Yue and the other party.

If you want to avoid leaking secrets, the best way is not to know!

Chijiang Nayue leaned on the balcony railing and looked at the coffin floating in the air controlled by gravity, and the vampire inside who would be exposed to the sun if he was not careful.

"That's a good kid, right?" He sighed in an ambiguous tone, then held his chin and asked the long-haired vampire in a curious tone, "By the way, you and Fudi are enemies, right? Then why don't you want to be taken out?"

The vampire lord, with a look of "I'm so sleepy" written all over his face, glanced at him dimly and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said solemnly: "Do you know who I am? The king who rules the dark world..."

"What a poor bastard who was chopped off by Fukudi and left with only his head, and was picked up and used as a tool?" Chijiang Nayue deliberately raised her hand to answer after Blum had finished speaking, as if she was answering a teacher's question in school.

Blum: "..."

The pair of blood-red eyes stared silently at the black-haired young man standing at the edge of the coffin, fangs showing from his lips, as if he could bite Chijiang Nayue's neck as long as he stood up and turn this rude human being into his servant——!

Then, the great king of the dark world, the leader of vampires, looked away gloomily.

"To those who disrespect me, your life should be as fleeting as morning dew." The silver-haired earl closed his eyes in a calm manner, "But I am very sleepy now... I need to go to sleep."

After saying this...he really fell asleep.

Even Chijiang Nayue couldn't help but stare at the vampire Count in the coffin with strange eyes.

[This setting is so cool.] He sighed about the [book] and looked eager to try it out. [What do you think, next time we go to another world, will we have a chance to play a vampire?]

Being able to successfully save the world by sleeping the entire time is simply a genius idea in the world of lazy people.

[Xiaohong...you weren't like this before...]

Nonsense, he used to think he was playing a game, isn't it normal to play like crazy when playing a game? Wasting energy is wasting life.

But now, regarding the mission of saving the parallel world, Chi Jiang Na Yue doesn't mind playing actively when it's interesting, but if it's boring, he would really want to slack off.

How can you blame him?

"Sleep, but how is the sound insulation of your coffin?" The black-haired savior touched his chin and suddenly asked this question.

Blum closed his eyes and replied calmly, "Very good, I sleep very well."

Chi Jiang Na Yue said in a serious tone, as if she were an experienced person: "I have also slept in this kind of coffin. Although my coffin is well soundproofed, it is very difficult to kick open. It took me a lot of effort to climb out."

He was talking, of course, about Asa crawling out of the coffin during his first appearance.

Blum could tell that the man was telling the truth, and he couldn't help but become a little interested.

A human being, who didn't seem to have been vampirized by his supernatural powers. He was just an ordinary human being, a supernatural being at most... Could such a weak being actually return to the human world after death?

"But, this is boring, isn't it?" Chi Jiang Na Yue said bluntly, "There's nothing in the coffin, the sleeping conditions are ridiculously poor, and all you can do every day is sleep. This kind of life is boring."

It must be said that he really touched Bloom's heart.

"That……"

"Would you like to try a different life?" Chijiang Nayue slowly placed her hand on the hilt of the holy sword inside Bloom's body. "This thing is restraining you, right?"

Fukuchi Sakurachi relies on this sword to control Bloom.

"That guy can't beat me. I will definitely win in the end." The guy who was judged by the vampire as a weak human said arrogantly, but his tone was calm and matter-of-fact, as if he was just stating a fact. "In that case, why don't you join the detective agency in advance? Just think of it as starting labor reform early."

The Savior held up his hands: "You don't think I brought you out for no reason, do you? If you want to escape the control of this sword and gain 'real' freedom, then join the Detective Agency."

"I can give you what you want." Chijiang Nayue paused, glanced at Xiaowen, and said subtly, "For example... a daughter?"

To be honest, he was really shocked when he found out that the relationship between Xiaowen and Blembiao given by the [Klein Jug] was actually that of father and daughter in their previous life.

It was because he knew this news in advance that he brought Xiaowen with him when he went to find Fukuchi Sakurachi. After all, Chijiang Nayue had already anticipated that one of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man would be Bloom.

Blum frowned and his expression suddenly changed, as if he finally discovered something.

He did not continue the topic of daughters or not, but instead turned the topic around and asked, "What is 'real freedom'?"

"It's not enough to just free you from the coffin." Chijiang Nayue leaned her face against the edge of the coffin, looking down at Bloom inside. "You were a human before, but you were transformed into a vampire by your supernatural power, and you passively killed many people out of control... These people are more or less your fault."

The more people he kills, the more he should save. Only when his sins are redeemed can Blyme be truly free.

"Why are you so sure?" the vampire said slowly.

"I'm sure." Chijiang Nayue smiled, "Because that's how I gained my freedom."

"…You mean, after you're free, you still want to save people? Like you?"

"Hmm... I don't know. It's up to you. You're not me."

The black-haired young man said calmly: "Being free means you can do whatever you want - oh, if you continue to kill people, I will kill you, no need to say more about this - then it's up to you whether you continue to stay in the detective agency or leave and live the life you want."

The vampire lord in the coffin thought quietly for a moment and asked the last question.

"During that time," he asked seriously, "can the rest of us sleep whenever we want? A holy sleep with a radio to keep us entertained."

Chi Jiang Na Yue readily took out a mobile phone that no one knew he had prepared at some point, and stuffed it into the coffin along with a pair of Bluetooth headphones.

"It's not a big deal." The savior waved his hands. "The Five Degenerates doesn't pay, but the detective agency does. When you earn money from working, you can buy yourself a bunch of radios, mobile phones, and record players. You can play different songs and programs every day to kill time. When there are no commissions, you can sleep however you want. How about it?"

The Vampire Count did not hesitate at all, as if any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to the phone, and nodded firmly.

"I join in."

"That's great. I was wondering how I could explain to Xiao Wen that the vampire string in the coffin suddenly turned into vampire ash if you didn't agree." Akajina said with a brilliant smile, and then turned to the girl, "Xiao Wen - please take him down and send him back to the detective agency~ By the way, Yokohama is not safe recently, so you can stay in the detective agency for a while? Kunikida-kun will explain to your father."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Wen happily carried the vampire, who was only half of his body, on his back, and even put a light-proof coat on the vampire. Then, under the gaze of Chijiang Nayue, he rushed into the stairwell, "See you next time, Brother Nayue!"

Chijiang Nayue didn't plan to go down by herself, otherwise she would be scolded by Mr. Luanbu.

Chi Jiang Na Yue, who didn't know that there were many surprises waiting for him, checked the time and immediately prepared to run away.

It's almost time, right? Fei Jia will probably choose to open Long Yan's room in ten minutes at the latest, right?

Then he should go to the mafia first to join in the fun!

After jumping down from the rooftop of the detective agency, Chijiang Nayue was walking on the road with brisk steps, but suddenly stopped when she passed by someone next to her.

Coincidentally, the other party also stopped, and under the cover of the hooded jacket, one could vaguely see his long purple and white hair hanging down.

At this moment, the two were in shock for similar yet different reasons.

[It turns out that Fukuchi Sakura remembered the fusion of the world not only because he was carrying a page of the book.] Akae Nayue murmured, [There really is a book-made person beside him.]

【Book】Just about to speak.

[…So, this is the cheap brother you gave birth to me? ]

【Book】:?
