Edogawa Ranpo, holding a Pocky in his mouth, answered him vaguely, "It doesn't matter, as long as we still exist, that's enough."
If nothing unexpected happens, Dazai Osamu will finally complete his four and a half year long plan and successfully rescue Oda Sakunosuke.
But when his plan was about to reach the final stage, Ranpo Edogawa died.
He had to give up his plan to train Ranpo Edogawa to be the next leader of the port mafia, and while sending people to investigate the cause of Ranpo Edogawa's death, he adjusted his plan.
Unfortunately, before he could implement his new plan, problems arose in Leibo Street.
Leibo Street is not far from the Port Mafia, where a mysterious virus broke out.
The virus spread quickly, so quickly that just as Dazai Osamu gave the order, the virus had already spread to Leibo Street - the port mafia was affected.
A small number of lower-level personnel went berserk and started killing each other, but the majority of them became much stronger and were quickly promoted because of this.
Dazai Osamu is the leader of the port mafia, but the lower-level personnel are far from being under his management, so by the time Dazai Osamu discovered it, the infection had already reached the lower-level officials.
In fact, just a small high-rise was far from enough to warrant Dazai Osamu's attention, but before that, he found out something.
The laboratory that created the tyrant vomiting container of Chuuya Nakahara was not completely destroyed, but a new laboratory was built near Leibo Street.
And in that laboratory, a special medicine was produced that can enhance a person's strength for a long time, and even allow people without special abilities to have special abilities.
Dazai doesn't believe that there is an item in the world that can increase strength without any side effects.
So he sent Nakajima Atsushi to conduct a further investigation.
A few days later, Nakajima Atsushi brought back the news.
That thing is not a miracle drug at all, but an extremely rare new virus. It enhances the host's strength simply because the virus has taken root in the body and is trying to make one's living environment more comfortable.
As the virus transforms the host's body to please itself, red marks will gradually appear on your body. As time goes by, the host will become stronger and stronger.
Eventually, the host's consciousness will be devoured, and sometimes someone will explode and die because the virus is too eager for quick success.
In short, it was not a "miracle"; it was just a small treat given to the devil before he collected his reward.
When he discovered that the virus spread very quickly, he immediately had all members of the port mafia checked.
But when the virus was first discovered, there was no effective way to detect it. Even Dazai Osamu could only detect it through data screening.
However, their number was extremely large, and the Mafia was the best breeding ground for darkness and evil. Soon the Port Mafia was severely damaged.
Dazai Osamu first sent people to shut down the laboratory - if it continued to exist, perhaps something even more terrifying would emerge.
As for the power behind the laboratory, Dazai Osamu is not qualified to shake it now.
But at least he could give a warning first - Yokohama is not anywhere else, and it is not a place where those people can interfere at will.
Dazai Osamu did not solve this problem by himself - or rather, this problem was not something he could solve alone.
Of course, it is impossible for the Port Mafia to solve the problem alone.
To this end, he specially arranged a meeting with the leaders of the other two organizations.
