Chapter 98 Ten Presidents
The feeling of crossing the world barrier was not pleasant, but Akae Nayue did not stay in the gap space for long. After confirming that he could remove the virus debuff at any time, he returned to his Tokyo without stopping.
With the help of the "Book" as the law, all the people who were watching him before he left fell into a trance for a few seconds, and naturally no one noticed that the young man with a bullet piercing his shoulder had disappeared briefly. Only Fyodor looked at the young man's sweaty face through the surveillance screen and frowned for some reason.
A little strange.
There are very few things in this world that are beyond the control of the demon. This is not blind self-confidence, but the "naturalness" accumulated through actions again and again. He is an extraordinary existence, and there are very few smart people who are qualified to sit at the same table with him and play games.
Dazai Osamu counts as one, and a year ago, the only disciple of Dazai Osamu in the surveillance video counted as half at most.
Compared to the former who hid his identity information in order to avoid assassination, the latter's style of doing things is much more high-profile. For example, he manipulated several forces behind the scenes to destroy the Karasuma Group. When the Karasuma Group disappeared, many shadowy corners in Tokyo were also quietly cleaned up. Another example is that he took over half of Yokohama Town to suppress the unrest a year ago... and so on.
Fyodor seldom believed in coincidences. He knew that this was all the work of Chijiang Nayue alone, and he had even found out deeper - when he had tried to invade the Metropolitan Police Department system of this alien world not long ago.
Yes, another world.
In the dim room, the dim light from the electronic screen was cast on a pale but handsome face. This poor, kind-hearted Russian was curled up in a mahogany armchair, with his eyes lowered and biting his thumbnail.
He used his free hand to mark out an empty space on the messy table, and then slid his fingertips lightly across it, as if he was drawing something with the air. The black chess pieces on the chessboard next to him, which he had casually pushed aside, fell to one side and the other.
It was also a year ago that Fyodor discovered that their world had merged with another strange world, and this story begins with him.
Perhaps people with special abilities, who seem to live in a comic book world, are inherently incompatible with human society. Among this group, there is a considerable number of people who are astonishing idealists, but their ideals are either grand and empty, or small and ordinary.
Fyodor is neither of these, and he is not likely to actively use the word "ideal" to describe what he is doing: to eliminate all the evil superpowers and create a world without superpowers.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he wants to kill all the superpowers in the world. To be more precise, he wants to eliminate the concept of "superpowers".
In order to achieve this ideal (goal), he can use any means necessary, even turning everyone into chess pieces on the chessboard.
As for Fyodor himself, he has never been shaken and has always acted in accordance with his own moral values.
He would not hesitate to use the lives of children as a bargaining chip, but he would also recite eulogies and pray for them from the bottom of his heart. This was not out of hypocrisy, because he knew that their sacrifice was not in vain.
Because he loved everyone equally*, he became a reformer on this basis.
What he is going to do is destined to be contrary to others, and the road he is going to take is destined to be filled with blood. Everyone - including him - will become nutrients on this road. In the end, not even Fyodor himself knows what kind of flower will grow on the thorns.
What he knew was that he was a being darker than evil*, and that all he did was to tear off the rotten flesh of the world and stain the land red with the blood of sinners*.
Maybe many good people will be affected in the process, maybe the world will bleed and be riddled with wounds, but as long as the final goal can be achieved, Fyodor will do whatever it takes.
After all, what he wants to change is not any individual with special abilities, but the world where special abilities exist.
In Fyodor's plan, the "Book" is an indispensable prop. In order to find and obtain the "Book", he once met the sixteen-year-old Double Black combination in Yokohama and took part in the Dragon Head War.
It was not until two years after the end of the Dragon War that Fyodor discovered that Dazai Osamu, one of the two black men, had unexpectedly become the new boss of the Port Mafia.
Dazai Osamu would never hinder his plan.
This thought lingered in Fyodor's mind from that moment on, and did not stop until Dazai Osamu died.
Fyodor knew that it was impossible for Dazai Osamu to die at that time. During his term in office, that man had been firmly protecting the entire city of Yokohama. Even Fyodor could not make much waves in Yokohama for a time.
How could such a city defender commit suicide before dealing with his time bomb?
However, thanks to Dazai Osamu's leap, Fyodor was completely sure that the "Book" was in Dazai Osamu's hands, and was ready to take advantage of the opportunity and stir up trouble in Yokohama. However, the two worlds merged at that time.
Even the wise and cunning Fyodor couldn't help but wonder for a second if there was something wrong with his intelligence network when he saw the specially marked defected member of the □□, "Unsheathed Sword" Akae Nazuki, appearing in the news with the names of the Light of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Night Watchman a year ago.
Dazai Osamu would actually go to such lengths? He couldn't have sent his best student to work undercover in the Metropolitan Police Department for seven years.
Fyodor remembered the Hong Kong gangster he had met once, who was clearly a 19-year-old boy... It was obvious that Chijiang Nayue could not have pretended to be a 20-year-old policeman when he was only 12 years old. So was he a brother? A clone? No. A fake identity played by a special ability? No.
Based on this confusion, Fyodor turned his attention to Chijiang Nayue, and then discovered the high-profile behavior of the other party mentioned above - very high-profile in the eyes of intelligence personnel of his level.
This made Fyodor discover to his delight that there was now another person in the world with whom he could happily communicate.
Look, weren't they having a happy chat just now?
As one of his companions was the book-maker Sigma, Fyodor easily unearthed the secret of the fusion of worlds. In his final investigation, Akjiang Nayue was the only one who had intersections with both worlds.
Chijiang's guess before he went on his second mission that month was accurate. Fyodor was not resting during the year of silence. Everything he had done recently was to pave the way for today's actions.
He wanted to verify whether Dazai Osamu really handed the book to his disciple, and to trap the variable in Akae Nazuki's plan in Tokyo.
As for testing the other party's special abilities, Fyodor thought it was just a harmless joke.
Wasn't that why this Na Yue Jun casually revealed an unimportant ability to him? The two of them unexpectedly had a tacit understanding in this regard, and they understood each other tacitly.
The pale young man sitting on the chair was breathing steadily, looking somewhat tired and indifferent, with a gleam of expectation in his grape-red eyes.
Fyodor raised his eyes and stared at Chijiang Nayue who was leaning against the wall on the surveillance screen, but he couldn't ignore the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.
He used Oguri Mushitaro's "Perfect Crime" to cover up the existence of the bomb and induced Akae to be shot, all in order to make the opponent injured and bleed, so as to facilitate the implantation of Pushkin's symbiotic virus.
This virus was originally prepared for the current boss of the Port Mafia, Chuuya Nakahara, and the president of the Armed Detective Agency headquarters, Yukichi Fukuzawa, but now it is more suitable for use on Nazuki Akae.
According to the original plan, he had already given instructions to his temporary new subordinates when Chijiang came for the appointment that month.
Speaking of these subordinates.
A year ago, Akae Nayue had indeed used the Tokyo Cleansing Plan to cleanse the city of shadows, but as long as there was light, shadows would continue to appear. Among them was a group of people who huddled in the sewage, staring viciously at the untouchable sun, trying to kill it.
Fyodor is not interested in the revenge plans of the remnants of the underground organizations in Tokyo. He tempted this group of people only because it was a bit troublesome to establish his own power in Tokyo... The reason why these new subordinates are temporary workers is because Fyodor only regards them as discarded pieces that can be used once.
Ah, he didn't directly order the new troops to take action. He just chatted with them and they spontaneously prepared to attack the mission target.
Fyodor propped his chin up with the back of his hand, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
——Who makes it so easy for humans to believe that they are thinking independently? *
…
[If the book is in my hands, as long as we can't find the superpower, we have to use the book in the end.] Chijiang Nayue said in his mind, [In that case, Fei Jia can achieve his goal.]
【What?】 The real 【book】 asked in confusion.
The savior, who was calmly stopping the bleeding of his wound while talking, said without hesitation: [Restrain me.]
No matter whether it is the Five Decays of Heaven or the Rat of the Dead House, as long as their target is Yokohama, the one with the [Book] and the psychic, they will definitely not want the special existence of Akae Nazuki to disrupt the situation. The lesson of not restraining is that the chaos in Yokohama a year ago was forcibly suppressed by him, which ruined their first action.
[If we want to do this, the range of other candidates for the virus is very small.] Chijiang Nayue casually shook his hands, and blood splashed on the wooden floor. [Actually, it would be best if it was the teacher. He is important enough to me and it is worth it for me to use the book to save the two of us. But the teacher is immune to superpowers and cannot be affected by the virus.]
[This person cannot be Oda Sakunosuke, because if the only student and the only friend both get into trouble, the teacher will be too lazy to play with Fei Jia and will choose to flip the table. ]
[It can't be Edogawa Ranpo either, because he's in Yokohama, and that way he can't trap me in Tokyo.]
[Who do you think the other person is now?] Chi Jiang Na Yue looked at the flashing surveillance camera expressionlessly, and her watery red eyes froze into ice.
The black-haired young man stood there with his back straight, and there was no trace of weakness from the virus on his face. Fyodor instantly locked onto the source of the sense of crisis.
Pushkin's ability is immune to Chijiang Nayue? ...No, it has been lifted. When?
Some distorted sounds reached Fyodor's ears.
"Noah, notify the administrator." The man in surveillance said to the artificial intelligence.
"The cleaning begins."
The moment the chilling words fell, Chi Jiang Na Yue disappeared from the spot, and the blood-stained wooden floor under his feet had terrifying cracks.
The assessment was wrong, Fyodor thought, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
If he looked in the mirror now, he would see that the curve of his smile had become very strange.
He almost wanted to laugh out loud.
"Noah's Ark, the cleansing plan, so this is what it is, a person who is on par with gods." Fyodor murmured, "But, blaming sins is the responsibility of gods."
Akae Nayue will find this place soon. They have all underestimated that person's ability. The plan must be modified. This time, Akae Nayue cannot be trapped in Tokyo.
Now, it's time for him to leave.
Fyodor took out a new poker card from under the chessboard and pressed it on the tilted black king.
It is a King of Diamonds.
