Chapter 142

The death of Amemiya Raisei was so sudden that there could be no signs at all. This piece of news stunned everyone in the Special Powers Special Service Department.

When Taneda Santoka brought people to Amemiya Rui's house, all they could see was a still warm corpse and a young boy sitting beside the sofa with a blank expression and tears streaming down his face.

“…Shuji?”

The fire on the farmland was gently burning.

Tsushima Shuji turned his head stiffly. He didn't know how long he had been crying. His eyes were red and swollen, and even his voice was particularly hoarse: "Captain Taneda."

"Mr. Amemiya... he will be fine, right?" The young boy stared at Taneda Santouki, the emptiness in his eyes faded away, and sadness rose from the bottom of his eyes, as if it was about to turn into tears and overflow.

He repeated in vain: "Master said that his supernatural power went out of control, but he was fine when his supernatural power went out of control before. He will definitely be able to recover this time, right?"

"I remember that there is a very powerful doctor in the Armed Detective Agency. She can save Mr. Husband, right?"

"Yes, what am I still doing here? I should go find a doctor. I should go find a doctor." Tsushima Shuji murmured, and stood up shakily. He used all his strength to drag Amamiya Ruisei onto his back, "Captain Taneda, I will take Mr. Amamiya to find a doctor. Please prepare a car for us."

However, he was not strong enough to carry an adult steadily. He had just taken two steps when he stumbled. Fortunately, Zhongtian Shantouhuo was quick to support him and prevented him from falling to the ground.

"Shuji, it's been a while since..." Taneda Santouki looked at Tsushima Shuji with a complicated expression. The person in his arms was gradually losing even the last bit of warmth.

Tsushima Shuji half-knelt on the ground, holding Taneda Santoka's arm, tears in his eyes: "He was fine. When I came back, he was still fine. How could someone die just like that? Taneda-san... Mr. Amamiya just needs to see a doctor."

Chief Taneda closed his eyes, suppressed the sob in his throat, and nodded vigorously: "I'll take you to see a doctor."

The man lifted up Amamiya Keisei's body with one hand and took him out.

Tsushima Shuji stared blankly, then slowly stood up and followed behind after a moment.

At this time, the Armed Detective Agency had already gone off work, but with the arrival of the visitor, all the lights were turned back on.

Tsushima Shuji's body was still stained with blood. He sat quietly, looking down at his hands. Beside him were Sakaguchi Ango and Oda Sakunosuke. Not far away stood Nakahara Chuuya. He pursed his lips with a sad look on his face.

When Akiko Yosano and I were called to the Armed Detective Agency late at night, we were a little annoyed at first, but after seeing who the person was, all our dissatisfaction turned into depression and shock.

"If you're not mistaken about his supernatural power, then he... did go berserk because of his supernatural power." Yoseno Akiko looked at the person lying flat on the bed and said to Taneda Santoka next to him, "The intensity of the berserk was very high and the speed was very fast. There was no trace of drugs or external force detected. It was simply a collapse from the inside of the body."

"I'd rather there was something wrong with my instrument—"

The girl lowered her eyes, not wanting to look: "But this is the fact. His body collapsed in a very short time, and all his internal organs were cut in half. He really died from his own supernatural power going wild. It is hard to imagine what he went through in his last moments."

"If you move his body a little harder, he won't look like a human anymore. He'll just be a pile of flesh wrapped in skin."

"I'm sorry, I can't save him."

"He has already..."

Taneda Santouki nodded: "I know."

The man sighed heavily.

"I have known Lei Sheng for quite some time. When he was still a minor, he often went berserk and hurt himself because his supernatural powers were too strong, so he had to stay in the hospital for a long time."

"Later, when he grew up, he was finally able to control his supernatural powers. He left the hospital, went to college, and became a teacher."

"I thought he would continue to live well like this."

"Who knows? It's unpredictable." Pain rose on Taneda Santoka's face. "I should have thought of it earlier. I should have thought of it during those times when his supernatural powers went berserk last year. His body can't stand the slightest bit of pain."

"I will try my best to reduce his workload. If I really need to send out a powerful psychic, I will even borrow your member."

"But in the end... why?"

Not only Tsushima Shuji wanted to ask, Taneda Santoka also wanted to ask, everyone wanted to ask, why? Why did you die so suddenly, causing everyone to suffer?

Yosano Akiko wanted to say something to comfort her, but she knew it was useless, so she could only say, "My condolences."

She was not familiar with Amamiya Keisei and had only met him a few times, but just because he was able to help the sheep children escape from the streets and return to normal life, he deserved her heartfelt admiration.

Zhutianshantou Huo Xitang bowed his head, and he seemed to have aged ten years.

He walked out of the infirmary and slowly came to Tsushima Shuji.

The young boy didn't move, still looking down at his hands. There were traces of blood on his hands, which were now dried and a little black, and looked shocking.

Taneda Santoka was about to speak hesitantly, but Tsushima Shuji spoke first.

"Did you feel the same way when you saw me covered in blood?"

He seemed to be asking about the fire in the fields, or asking about himself, or asking about someone who didn't exist.

Tsushima Shuji did not expect any answer. He raised his head, and his pupils shone under the light, but it seemed that no light could penetrate them at all.

"Mr. Amemiya said he wanted to see the cherry blossoms next year and also go to the sea." His voice was as unreal as a dream. "I want to bury him where he can see the sea and plant a cherry tree next to him."

"In this way, Mr. Amamiya can see cherry blossoms every year and the sea every day."

According to common sense, public officials should be buried in designated cemeteries, but Taneda Santouko still nodded: "Okay."

"You choose the location."

Tsushima Shuji said "hmm" and showed a soft smile.

…

On the day of the funeral, not many people came, just a few from the Armed Detective Agency and a few from the Special Powers Division.

Tsushima Shuji chose a mountain top as the cemetery, from where one can see the endless sea. When the sun shines down, the sea surface sparkles, which is very beautiful.

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of the funeral, and all that could be seen was dark water and a bare cherry tree that had been transplanted next to the tombstone.

Shuji Tsushima squatted in front of the tombstone with an umbrella and reached out to touch the stone tablet in front of him.

There should have been photos and names on the stone tablet, but there were no pictures or names written on it. This blank tablet was just placed here. Apart from them, I'm afraid no one else will come to worship him in the future.

"Mr. Amamiya, don't worry," Tsushima Shuji smiled, "Although the newly transplanted tree has only a few leaves, it will bloom next spring."

"It's raining today and the sea doesn't look nice, but when it clears up, you'll be able to see it and you'll definitely like it."

"Although I..." He paused and said helplessly, "Although I don't know if I can live to grow up, but if I am alive, I will come to see you, and then you may be able to see what I look like when I grow up."

"I think she will be as pretty as you expect. I'm very confident about this."

"If I were to die, would you allow me to be buried in..."

Tsushima Shuji paused, then laughed: "Forget it, I'm afraid you'll beat me up in the underworld."

"By the way, there are more than just cherry trees. I also had someone transport an apple tree from Aomori, but it didn't arrive in time for the funeral, so it took another two days."

"It's a shame that I can't go apple picking with you in Aomori, but we can pick apples in Aomori in Tokyo. I just don't know if the ripe apples will fall and hit you on the head."

"But I don't think Mr. Amamiya will mind."

"After all, you are such a gentle person that you don't blame the apple for falling on you. You just think it's great that the apple just happened to fall into your arms."

Tsushima Shuji said slowly, "I have decided not to go abroad again in the short term. Mr. Taneda intends to let me take over some of your work. I want to study and work at the same time. When Ango and Oda Saku finish high school, we will take the exam together and get into a good university. What do you think of the University of Tokyo?"

"Come to think of it, you were a teacher at the University of Tokyo."

"If I don't work in the Special Powers Department anymore, how about becoming a teacher? I don't know if the students are easy to educate."

"In my heart, you will always be a good teacher."

Tsushima Shuji looked at the blank tombstone, as if he was looking at Amamiya Tesei through it.

"Sir, we have to go now. We'll see you next time."

He stood up and said goodbye to the person who no longer existed: "Goodbye, Mr. Amamiya."

Shuji Tsushima turned around, holding an umbrella, and walked into the rain. The hazy mist blurred his figure, as if reflecting the road ahead that he could not see.

…

Two years later.

All three of them were successfully admitted to the University of Tokyo. To celebrate, Chief Taneda happily gave them five days off. During these days, they could go wherever they wanted to play. All the extra work was taken up by Taneda, so they didn't have to worry about any sudden emergency tasks interrupting their vacation.

They went to many places in the past few days, flying to a city almost every day. Tsushima Shuji climbed the snow-capped mountains to watch the sunrise, went to the beach to watch the sunset, and went to a small town in the country to breathe some fresh air.

After returning home, Shuji Tsushima fed the fish in the fish tank, packed his luggage, went into the kitchen to cook a simple meal, and after eating, he lay on the sofa and looked through the intelligence and mission content during this period.

He opened a document and found that it was a message from Yokohama.

Tsushima Shuji glanced at it twice, but before he could take a closer look, he received a call from Taneda Santouko.

"Shuji, I have something important to tell you. Come to the headquarters as soon as possible."

"Okay, I got it." Tsushima Shuji looked at the data again, caught the word "Port Mafia", then exited the interface, picked up a book on the table and left home.

When he arrived at Taneda Santoka's office, he found Sakaguchi Ango and Oda Sakunosuke there. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there an important mission? Why did you call all three of us here?"

"I have an important mission for you."

Taneda Santoka handed them some documents and said, "A few days ago, there was a change of power in the Port Mafia. The man who used to be the chief doctor became the leader of the Port Mafia."

"The whole of Yokohama is in turmoil because of this. It is difficult for our people to collect accurate information, so we need someone to infiltrate and become an undercover agent."

Taneda Santo sighed: "I didn't intend to consider you, after all, you just graduated from high school, it's a good age, but I looked at the information of everyone in the Special Agent Department, and found that you are the most suitable."

"Ango, Oda, one of you has a special ability that is suitable for collecting information, and the other has an offensive ability. You are both good candidates. Shuji, I plan to let you be their contact person--"

"No need for Odasaku." Tsushima Shuji interrupted Taneda Santoka and repeated without question, "Ango and I will go together."

Taneda Santohuo was stunned and frowned: "Shuji, you are only fourteen years old!"

"Oda Saku said that he doesn't want to kill anymore. As an offensive supernatural being, if he doesn't kill people as an undercover agent, he won't be able to reach a high position. But I'm different."

Tsushima Shuji narrowed his eyes slightly: "My ability is very special, and I am still young, so it will be easier to control. He won't reject me."

There was some hesitation about the fire on the farming mountain, so it was not denied immediately.

"However, my original identity is a bit sensitive. Even though I have long since left the Tsushima family, I still have this surname. I can only trouble Chief Taneda to help me prepare a new identity."

"As for the name..."

Tsushima Shuji lowered his eyes and looked at the book in his hand. The cover read "Complete Suicide Manual". From the outside, it looked the same as the one that Amemiya Ruisei bought for him.

"Let's call him Dazai Osamu."

A pair of blue eyes quietly opened.

The author has something to say:

If nothing unexpected happens, the next chapter should be the final chapter
