When his consciousness was last pulled away, Haiyinsi Suyou vaguely felt that the golden color in front of his eyes seemed to be slowly fading away, and he felt a familiar soft touch on his back, and he knew that he had returned to reality.
In the new residence, Haiyinsi Suyou clutched the red-leather notebook tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
This was destined to be an uneasy sleep. The boy's brows were furrowed, as if he was still worried about something even in his sleep.
On a certain page of the red-leather notebook in his arms, a chocolate-sweet brown color slowly permeated the entire paper, gradually forming the shape of a lottery ticket.
At the same time, something new is quietly integrating into this world.
***********
When Fukuzawa Yukichi passed by the commercial street, a candy advertisement was playing on the big screen in the square. The bright colors and interesting pictures attracted even adults.
The endless chocolate waterfall, the sheep that produce marshmallows, and the edible fruit candy flowers are so tempting in the advertisements that even if you know they are all computer special effects, you still want to give it a try.
It's a good ad, maybe Ranpo will like it. Fukuzawa Yukichi thought as he looked at the soda candy that would spit out colorful bubbles when eaten, and his steps became a little lighter.
But he did have a reason to relax a little. He had just hurriedly returned from Tokyo and learned the news that Ranpo Edogawa had suddenly fallen into a coma.
Unexpectedly, just after he finished his work, he heard the news that the detective had woken up on his way back. Even the previously missing member had returned safely. These were definitely two pieces of good news that were enough to cheer people up.
Maybe it would be a good choice to buy some chocolate and go back. An idea appeared in the swordsman's mind. This is a dessert that no one in the detective agency would hate. Although there are restrictions on the number of snacks that Edogawa Ranpo can have, it should be done now. It would be a good gift to make an exception and let the young man eat something that would make people feel happy. It would also be a good gift to use to visit the Tanizaki brother and sister who are in the hospital.
The silver-haired swordsman turned around and walked straight towards the candy store that was incompatible with his temperament.
The salesperson who came over habitually was stunned for a moment by Fukuzawa Yukichi's aura, but she quickly reacted very professionally, got into the state, patiently introduced the products to the customer, and occasionally made suggestions.
With the help of the store clerk, Fukuzawa Yukichi quickly bought two types of Dal chocolate, which were said to be the best-selling ones. He walked out of the door carrying a large bag of chocolate for everyone in the detective agency, with the salesperson saying, "Welcome to visit us next time."
Maybe it was because he had just seen the advertisement, even though the chocolate was sealed well, the swordsman still felt like he could smell the sweet aroma of chocolate. Even he, who thought he had good self-control, began to look forward to the taste of these candies.
After returning to the Detective Agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a rare sense of quietness. Apart from the three people in the hospital, the other members seemed to be in the hospital to take care of their patients. The only ones left in the Armed Detective Agency were Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu, who entered the Detective Agency almost at the same time as him.
"President!" Seeing him coming back, the blond young man's eyes lit up immediately, and his whole spirit and vigor became much more revitalized, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
The significance of Fukuzawa Yukichi's return was like a reassurance to the Armed Detective Agency, which was in a state of chaos at the time. Kunikida Doppo didn't even have time to get angry about Dazai Osamu's disappearance in the past few days. He was just wholeheartedly preparing to welcome Fukuzawa Yukichi.
"You're finally back." Kunikida Doppo had a lot to say, but in the end he only said this one sentence. Compared to the overly cumbersome greetings and greetings, the most important thing was to quickly report on the situation of the detective agency during this period.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Fukuzawa Yukichi felt a lot of emotions in his heart, but he couldn't express them, so he could only pat Kunikida Doppo on the shoulder.
However, this heartwarming scene was ultimately interrupted by Dazai Osamu, who was standing nearby with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"President, Kunikida was really lazy while looking for Naomi-chan."
Just like an elementary school student, the young man in a beige windbreaker is very happy.
He raised his hand excitedly and spoke loudly to Fukuzawa Yukichi, as if he had caught some small flaw in his colleague's account that made him feel very amused.
After hearing this, Kunikida Dopo immediately and emotionally refuted his colleague who was eager to cause chaos in the world:
"How could I? Everyone in the detective agency is working very hard to find Naomi, but you, I don't know where you've been slacking off these past few days. The detective agency is already short of manpower, and you've been experimenting with new suicide positions all day long."
The blond young man said a lot in one breath. It seemed that he had been resentful of Dazai Osamu's behavior for a long time. He was flipping through his notebook vigorously as if trying to find more of Dazai Osamu's crimes. He was extremely opposed to what Dazai Osamu said.
"Hey, Kunikida, did you say something just now?" Just like many times before, the young man named Dazai Osamu pretended not to hear what Kunikida Doppo said and deliberately looked away, not to mention confessing his actions in the demonic realm as Kunikida Doppo wanted.
This undoubtedly angered Kunikida Doppo, and he began to angrily want to punish his colleague.
However, it was not known whether it was Fukuzawa Yukichi's illusion, but the swordsman known as the "Silver Wolf" could sense that the moment Kunikida Doppo's words came out, the black-haired young man's iris-colored eyes trembled unnaturally for a moment.
The feeling was fleeting, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
Since Dazai Osamu didn't say anything, Fukuzawa Yukichi wouldn't pursue the matter. Every member here had some things that they didn't want to be mentioned, and he had never been interested in prying into other people's privacy.
"Let's close this afternoon," the silver-haired swordsman decided after taking a look at the somewhat messy Armed Detective Agency office. "Let's get ready and go visit them in the hospital."
"I just happened to buy some souvenirs on the way." Fukuzawa Yukichi raised the bag in his hand and gestured to the two of them. Kunikida Dopo naturally had no objection, and he did not forget to use a look that did not have much killing power to Dazai Osamu, so the black-haired young man followed suit.
Dazai Osamu rarely did anything weird. He just fell behind them absentmindedly. But after confirming that the young man had been following them, Kunikida Doppo didn't say anything and just let him go.
But after a while, Kunikida Dopo realized that Dazai Osamu was not following him. He turned around and saw the black-haired young man who was using his neck to test the firmness of his sleeves on a tree in the green belt.
He immediately rushed over and plucked Dazai Osamu from the tree trunk with great skill, saying words of persuasion for who knows how many times.
After Kunikida Dopo finally finished his clichéd speech, the young man in the light-colored windbreaker slowly followed the footsteps of the two people in front of him.
"It's better for this world to be destroyed." He slowly uttered these words so lightly that they disappeared into thin air as soon as they were spoken.
"Huh? Dazai, what did you say?" The blond young man turned his head in confusion, looking uneasy.
"No, nothing." The person being asked seemed to change his face and showed a fake and gentle smile, which made Kunikida Doppo lose the desire to investigate further. "Nothing."
***********
Haiyin Temple Suyou was sitting on the bed.
Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his posture was somewhat similar to meditation, but his mind was constantly active and never stopped for a moment.
He is currently putting the final construction of the Roald Dahl vest.
Just as the system promised, this time, he gained unimaginable authority and further realized the influence of the vest.
He created the founder of a super candy empire.
It was as if it was a matter of course, the moment the man with the goatee appeared in his mind, he knew what to construct for Roald Dahl to fit into this world.
The greatest candy expert in history, the creator of all children's sweet dreams, a super businessman who has established a great career and made great contributions to the candy industry. All these highly praised words can be used to describe this vest.
This identity is necessary for the Haiyin Temple tour.
In order to be safe, he really needs an influential avatar to appear. Even if the individual combat power of this avatar is not outstanding, who can think of the true identity of a pastry chef?
Haiyin Temple Suyou had no intention of exploring the secrets of the system for the time being. Regardless of whether the faith value would be used, at least these summoned vests could ensure his safety, which was enough.
However, he had a vague feeling that as his faith value increased, his resistance to the pollution of ghosts and gods seemed to increase a little. Judging from the incident in the Red Temple, the speed at which he regained consciousness surprised the old man who taught Li Buwei.
If the faith value is accumulated to a certain level, perhaps one day he will be able to see more things from the other side and continue to live in this world peacefully.
However, if he could really become an evil god, something more advanced than those ghosts and gods, it would be an irresistible temptation for him.
He hated his current situation so much.
He wanted to change from prey to hunter.
"That should be about it."
Haiyin Temple heaved a long sigh of relief, as the setting of the chocolate factory on the cheek of candy master Roald Dahl was almost completed.
"The next step is to spread the word."
Haiyin Temple Suyou said to himself.
It was a pleasant surprise that this vest was able to develop a pill that could rejuvenate people. He originally wanted to use the wealth of the chocolate factory as bait.
Now it seems that as long as this pill is leaked a little bit, it will naturally attract countless eyes, which is exactly what the Haiyin Temple tour is about.
"A huge amount of wealth, the world's largest candy factory, and a drug that can make you look younger, what kind of people will be attracted by this combination? I'm really looking forward to it."
The character playing Roald Dahl sighed, but there were still some details to be worked out about the plan.
"Pick five so-called 'lucky ones'."
