How to raise Dazai gently

The deceased was named Ebihara Sumi, aged 27, with a fixed rope around the waterfall to prevent danger from being set on the river bank around her neck, but the question is, why did she come to the dark forest on the mermaid waterfall at this time?

"She came here to look for the mermaid's grave while everyone was away," said Naoko Heijiang, who was a child with Ebihara Sumi.

"Because the mermaid's grave is somewhere in the forest - after the shrine on the island caught fire three years ago, a bone without lower limbs was found. Everyone said it must be the mermaid's bone! People from the TV station came to interview !"

"For this reason, there have been many whimsical tourists who want to pry open the tomb and steal the mermaid bones inside."

"Because the bones of the mermaid are also the elixir of immortality, everyone was moved."

"It's ridiculous, how can such a thing be possible!"

"Isn't this the mermaid's curse?"

I don't know who said this sentence, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

These rumors cast a strange and mysterious color on this murder, especially when Osamu Dazai and Karaki Araki came to investigate the mermaid disease.

Although the news of mermaid disease has been blocked, even the citizens in Yokohama City don't know what happened, but if you look at the symptoms of those patients who contracted mermaid disease, it is not surprising to say that it is the curse of mermaid .

The information of the supernatural beings is isolated from the society of ordinary people, and the state machinery is playing a role, so that a small number of supernatural beings will not affect the operation of the entire society.

Although I don't know whether this is good or bad, the world operates according to this rule.

Osamu Dazai is not Ranpo Edogawa, and there is no way to find the murderer at a glance when a murder occurs. Besides, they came to this island of mermaids, not for real fun, or to reason about the murderer.

When Conan, Hattori Heiji, Mori Kogoro and others were looking for the murderer, Osamu Dazai approached Mr. Ebihara.

The maiden Shimabukuro Kimie from the Mermaid Shrine once said that Mr. Ebihara, who drove the fishing boat, knew Takuro Tajima, so they could only search along this line.

"Takuro Tajima? Ah, I do know him." Mr. Ebihara's daughter was the just-deceased Miss Sumi. He was wearing a black mourning dress and looked haggard. Still cheer up and recall carefully.

"He used to come back here from time to time to earn extra money. The seafood here grows very well, and he can take guests to sea fishing in peak season."

"Does he have frequent visits on this island, or people with whom he often sees?"

Dazai asked.

"Well... I don't know much about it. You can ask the sect assistant Benzang. He has a lot of information, so he might know something."

Araki Kongshi did not go to see Mr. Ebihara with Osamu Dazai, he came to the beach and let out a deep breath.

Today's weather is bad, the sky is dark and dark purple, the sea in the distance is rolling with gray-white waves, the dull roar is heard intermittently, and the sea wind is violent, as if the sea is angry.

Tourists hid in hotels and hotels to avoid the rain, and the locals on the island also went to Ebihara Sumi’s funeral. The beach where Araki Kongyo stood was empty, and the violent storm rustled the trees, but But he stood still, and even the hem of the windbreaker was only gently fluttering as if in the spring breeze.

Araki Kongyo walked towards the black sea, the waves that were originally violent and turbulent, almost rolling up a person's height, retreated respectfully and politely to both sides, and did not let the cold sea water and the dirty foam that was raised fall on Araki Kongyo's body. On the gorgeous kimono.

Araki Kongshi's pace was not fast, but his figure came to a place far away from the beach in an instant. Not only that, the waves that gave way to him also rose to tens of meters.

It was as if the place where he was standing was circled by an invisible force. Within this domain, it was quiet and peaceful, with the snow-white fine sand under his feet and the sea creatures swimming freely in the rising sea walls around him. They all outline a peaceful picture, but outside the domain, the sky is dark and the waves are fierce. Anyone who dares to step into this sea will be swallowed by the waves in an instant and sink into the cold water. seabed.

"I'm here, since you have sent out your prayers, don't hide and hide."

Araki Kongyo's eyes at this moment did not have the gentleness of facing Osamu Dazai, he said these words with a deadpan expression as a matter of course, like a slightly impatient king ordering his servants.

Something was flickering in the depths of the sea, and the movement was so fast that ordinary humans couldn't catch it with their naked eyes.

But for Araki Kongshi, the swimming of these creatures fell into his eyes, as clear as ink dripping on white paper.

Soon, those black shadows approached, they stopped in front of the sea wall in awe, bowed down respectfully, put their hands and heads on the white sand, and saluted Araki Kongshi.

Most of these creatures have a human-like upper body, and starting from the waist, there are fish tails of different types and colors.

These creatures that appear in the sea are very recognizable mermaids. Although not all mermaids have the bewitching beauty in the legend, and some even have fish heads and human bodies, there is no doubt that they are indeed mermaids.

Unlike stupid and arrogant human beings, mermaids living in the sea can easily feel the power of this black-haired boy standing on the bottom of the sea that makes them instinctively fear and tremble. It will take a lot of perseverance and courage in front of him.

"About mermaid disease, how much do you know?"

Araki Kongyo didn't have the patience to circle around with them, even though he heard the prayers of the mermaids in the mermaid shrine on the island, but he came to see the mermaids only for Osamu Dazai.

Although he doesn't care what will happen to the mermaid disease, how many humans will die from the mermaid disease, and the desperation these mermaids encounter, but Osamu Dazai wants to solve the mermaid disease and save Yokohama, Then Araki Kongyo will fulfill his wish.

The head of the giant shark-headed mermaid raised his head, he opened his mouth, and what he spit out was not a sound, but a song with a strong rhythm, and Araki Kongshi listened calmly. In his ears, this was not a song. The song is enough to confuse people's hearts, but it is a concrete and detailed talk.

"Oh, that's how it is." After listening to the shark-headed mermaid's confession, Araki Kongyo nodded and understood what was going on with the mermaid's disease.

After getting the answer he wanted, Araki Kongshi was about to turn around and leave, while the mermaids became a little anxious. They took advantage of the stormy weather to come to the sea so close to humans, and mustered up their courage to face such a great and terrifying existence. , naturally go all out.

But they didn't dare to stop Araki Kongshi, and they didn't even dare to beg for anything—it was already their great honor that this great being would condescend to meet them.

Osamu Dazai moved his ears, and he raised his head to look towards the direction of the sea, but he didn't hear any sound except for the raging waves and the howling sea wind.

Is it an illusion?Osamu Dazai felt as if he heard a faint singing voice.

And not long after the singing disappeared, as if to prove that the mermaid's curse brought death, there was a scream, and another victim died. She was hung on a fishing net, with reddish fish scales scattered around her body and surroundings.

Conan fell into confusion this time. He looked at Osamu Dazai, wanting to get some hints from the kite-haired young man who made an astonishing reasoning last time, but Osamu Dazai ignored him at all, and instead approached him. Mr. Menxie, who had been drinking heavily and was even listed as a suspect, seemed to be whispering something.

Conan wanted to listen, but Dazai Osamu didn't know what method he used, and soon let the door association leave with him.

Of course the door assistant Benzo was unwilling, his eyes had been rolling since just now, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Dazai Osamu’s method of letting him come out with him was also very simple. He just said this to the sect association Benzou: “If you go and steal the book that says the guests enthroned, you will be considered a murderer.”

This person once stole the dugong arrow that his daughter got at the festival, and then sold it to tourists who came for good luck at a price of 100 million. The roster was also stolen.

"You, what do you want to do?" Even the drunken door coordinator can feel the sticky breath coming from the handsome young man in front of him at this moment, as if to wrap him in the suffocating darkness among.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you to help answer some questions, please rest assured, it's not a difficult question."

Osamu Dazai raised his chin, motioning for the sect assistant Benzou to follow him to an empty corner.

"What did Tajima Takuro do on this island?"

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth, and the question he asked made the door assistant Benzou's eyes widen.

He took a step back with wandering eyes, but Osamu Dazai blocked all his escape routes.

"I didn't do anything illegal!" He emphasized, but his voice trembled.

"Oh, that means Takuro Tajima did something illegal, right? I've always wondered why he came to this small island from time to time? Couldn't it be... he was on this island , Secretly selling addictive drugs?"

"He didn't sell drugs!" The door assistant was in a hurry. Drugs are a line that cannot be crossed. Contamination is not comparable to other side effects, "He sells...!"

It wasn't until he blurted out the last sentence that he realized what he had said. Suddenly, cold sweat covered his forehead, and he woke up a lot from the wine.

He looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a pale face, as if Osamu Dazai had instantly turned into a ghost with red skin and screaming fangs.

"Come on, tell me, what is he selling on this island? You know, after all, Mr. Menxie, you are his co-worker."

Osamu Dazai looked at the middle-aged man indifferently, and after just a single meeting, Menxie Benzang, who had been exposed to nothing, was even more terrified.

"You often drink with tourists, right? Did Takuro Tajima ask you to do this? Screen customers and bring them to Takuro Tajima?"

The door coordinator Benzou's throat kept rolling, and his mouth was very dry due to the extreme tension and fear. Although he was holding a wine bottle in his hand, he didn't even dare to raise his hand under Dazai Osamu's gaze, let alone Drink yourself.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, wanting to drink alcohol to quench his thirst, and fearing the young man in front of him who seemed to see through him, Menxie Benzo leaned against the wall and said weakly: "Then Guy... That guy Tajima asked me to find some people who want to live and introduce him. This is the mermaid island, and there is a longevity woman. There are many hopeful patients or family members who will come to this island superior."

"It doesn't take long for you to convince them, as long as there is hope that their wishes will come true, even if it comes from the mouth of a drunk—no, precisely because it comes from the mouth of a drunk. They will think that they are telling the truth after drinking, and they will take the initiative to jump into your deceitful trap."

Osamu Dazai stated that he seemed to have seen with his own eyes how Menke Benzou and Tajima Takuro joined forces to deceive those who came to this island of mermaids with vague and ridiculous hopes.

"That's not a trick to deceive people!" The door assistant Benzang was excited, his forehead was throbbing with blue veins, his eyes were as big as copper bells, he clenched his fists, as if he was suddenly full of courage at this moment, and wanted to resist this He seemed an incomparably frightening youth.

"Oh? It's not a deceptive trap, is it still true?" Osamu Dazai calmly and persuasively tricked out the information bit by bit from the door coordinator.

"Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes!" After being so excited by Dazai Osamu, Menke Benzang suddenly panted like a cow, his chest heaved rapidly, and his speed of speech accelerated: "That guy Tajima gave to tourists with terminal cancer After drinking the 'Water of the Sage', that man was actually cured!! That is a terminal illness!! Not only that, but someone even returned to his youth!"

The door association Benzo was quite sure, his eyes were red, and when he talked about the "Water of the Sage" brought by Tajima Takuro, his face showed eagerness and covetousness: "I will sell the arrow of destroying demons to others, and I also want to be able to buy it." Come to 'Water of the Sage'! That fellow Tajima is too greedy!"

As soon as this was mentioned, the voice of Menxie Benzang also became louder. If it wasn't for the quiet corner where they were, and the fact that other people were in the lobby far away, others might have heard this conversation long ago.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily: "If it wasn't for the high price of Tajima, I wouldn't have done it!"

"Oh? How much does he sell?" Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows and asked.

Perhaps this complaint has been buried in the heart of the sect association for too long, just waiting for it to explode one day. As soon as Dazai Osamu's questioning gave him this opportunity, the middle-aged man began to scold him endlessly. Takuro Shima's greed and shamelessness: "He dared to ask for 100 million for a small bottle of 'Water of the Sage'! Why didn't he grab it!"

"But if it can cure incurable diseases and bring back lost youth, 100 million is cheap, isn't it?" Osamu Dazai sensed that there was something hidden behind these words, and continued to guide the door coordinator Benzou to spit out More information.

The sect association Benzou snorted and showed a sneer: "How could that guy who turned into an evil spirit be so kind! It's 100 million a month! If you don't keep drinking, everything will be beaten back to its original shape!"

"Whether it's the cured cancer or the regained youth, as long as you don't continue to take the 'Water of the Sage' within the specified time, everything will disappear in an instant!"

"A mere 100 million is not enough!"

The context of the matter here is already very clear. Tajima Takuro came to this island several times, even avoiding other crew members, just to trade the 'Water of the Sage' in his hand.

On this island, there are many tourists who come here for the rumors of the longevity woman and the mermaid. It is not surprising that there are so many desperate patients among them. Besides, these people will bring other guests. For Tajima Takuro There is no harm in saying nothing.

Since Tajima Takuro has such a magical potion in his hand, wouldn't he not drink it himself?

Osamu Dazai knew the answer very well, especially since Tajima Takuro was the first patient of mermaid disease.

Apparently, it was the so-called 'water of sages' that caused the mermaid disease.

"How long has he been selling that potion here?" Osamu Dazai pressed.

"It's been about three years." Now that the words have begun, the subsequent information is not so difficult to say.

"But brother, your identity is not simple, right? After asking so many questions, is that guy Tajima Takuro discovered?" After the sect association Benzou came over, he was not dead. He approached Osamu Dazai and asked in a low voice: "Brother , if you find the 'Water of the Sage' from him, can you give me a few bottles? I can give you money!"

Osamu Dazai glanced at him, and said calmly: "Takuro Tajima is dead, you should be glad you didn't buy the 'Water of the Sage'."

Monsie Benzou's face suddenly turned pale, he looked uneasy, and he didn't know what he had imagined, Dazai Osamu saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he signaled him to leave.

Monsie Benzou left in a daze, and Osamu Dazai stood there and sorted out the information he had collected during his trip in his mind.

Takuro Tajima spends some time every year coming to this island of mermaids. He uses the locals such as Mensie Benzo to find those terminally ill patients who have heard the legend of the island of mermaids and came to try their luck. Sold to them, this potion can not only cure terminal diseases, but even restore youth to the user.

The name of the water of the sage is really easy to think of the water of life that appeared in the case that Osamu Dazai encountered before, that is, turning into water, which can make people become old and dry in an instant. This water of the sage also has Similar to the magical power, Osamu Dazai subconsciously connected them together.

I don't know when the mermaid disease spread in Yokohama, but there is an armed detective agency in Yokohama, find the source of infection and block the infection route and leave it to them. What Osamu Dazai needs to do is to find the antidote to the mermaid disease and solve it completely This is an innocent disaster.

Obviously, Tajima Takuro, who lives by fishing in the sea, cannot have enough knowledge to make this magical potion, let alone provide it to those eager guests steadily. There must be someone who provides the potion behind him people.

The question is where to find this person?

Tajima Takuro probably also knew that the water of the sage was his cash cow, and he kept the source of it a secret. Now Osamu Dazai can only use the customer information provided by the door co-worker to make another plan.

On the other side, a group of Henan people had a new incident. Miko Shimabukuro Junhui, who went back with them to check the guest list for the festival, was burned to death in the warehouse.

The incident fell into a cloud of treachery. The three dead women seemed to be cursed by the mermaid, and even who the murderer was was also unclear.

When Osamu Dazai learned of the existence of the water of the sage, he didn't intend to get involved in the murder case anymore. He took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the murder case of the mermaid curse, and went to investigate Tian carefully. Where Takuro Shima has been.

With the leader of the door coordinator Benzou leading the way, the investigation process became much easier.

After carefully searching the house where Takuro Tajima once lived with gloves on, Osamu Dazai also obtained the place where Takuro Tajima might have obtained the Water of the Sage from the clues.

After all, Takuro Tajima was not well educated, no matter how cautious he was, there would always be flaws in his actions over the years, and it just so happened that Osamu Dazai was very good at grasping the flaws of others and using them for himself.

——Daimu County, Taozhimu City, Riwu Town.

This is a small place known as the town of shark fins and mermaids. If you look at it according to the route and geographical location, it is undoubtedly a countryside that even the Japanese may not know.

"Another town of mermaids?" Osamu Dazai was thoughtful.

There must be some connection between the current mermaid island and the shark fin and mermaid town that Tajima Takuro visited.

Now that he got the answer, Osamu Dazai didn't intend to stay here anymore.

"Hey, brother Dazai, are you leaving?"

Just when Osamu Dazai called the visitor center to ask if there were any boat tickets to outlying islands, Conan happened to hear him.

Of course, this is not just right, Conan is really curious about Osamu Dazai, especially when he finds out who he is definitely looking for, many speculations flashed through his mind.

In order to keep a close eye on Osamu Dazai, Conan and Heiji Hattori and others acted separately, and it was here specially to observe Osamu Dazai.

It’s just that the place where Dazai Osamu and Monsie Benzou talked was deliberately chosen, with a wide field of vision but secluded, once someone approaches, they will be found immediately, so Conan can only stay in the distance bitterly, until Dazai Osamu walks away by himself come over.

"Yeah, this kind of thing happened, so of course I'm not in the mood to continue traveling, right?"

Osamu Dazai glanced at this little boy. In the previous incident of turning into water, his sensitive mind and extra mature expression made Osamu Dazai realize that this boy is not simple, but he does not intend to have an intersection with Conan, and I didn't plan to have a deep friendship, so I just evaded a few words.

"Eh--"

Conan, however, reflected a bright silver light on his glasses, and said with feigned regret, "It's a pity, brother Dazai's reasoning was really powerful before, and I wanted to see brother Dazai's reasoning again!"

"The murderer is Shimabukuro Kimie."

Osamu Dazai said lightly, "If it were you, you should be able to deduce her modus operandi."

Conan was stunned. He did say that he wanted to hear Osamu Dazai's reasoning again, but it was beyond his expectation to directly report the name of the murderer.

However, he quickly came back to his senses, and couldn't help asking anxiously: "This is impossible! The third deceased was Miss Shimabukuro Junhui. How could a dead person kill someone, and how could she kill herself—more importantly, what she committed? What about the method? What about the evidence?"

"Then it's up to you to find it, little detective." Osamu Dazai said lazily, "I'm not a detective, I'm just a passerby traveling with my lover."

Conan watched Dazai Osamu's unmotivated breath, twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally struggled: "Then... at least can you tell me why you are sure that Miss Junhui is the murderer?"

Conan was a little reconciled, he wanted to know why.

Normally Dazai would not talk so much with others, but he was somewhat interested in this elementary school student whose expression did not match his age, and after meeting Araki Kongyo, no matter whether he realized it or not, Dazai's The cold and viscous feeling of suffocation subsided a lot, and the frivolity and bad taste that belonged to Dazai Osamu resurfaced again.

Of course he knew that Conan was on guard against him, and probably he had already deduced that he was a mafia through his clever mind.

But in any case, it is indeed too bold and reckless for a primary school student to come to the mafia alone.

So Osamu Dazai planned to give him a small but unforgettable education.

He knelt down, put his hands on Conan's head and gently stroked the little boy's head, but there was a cold warning in his slightly curved eyebrows: "Why do I know that Miss Junhui is the murderer? That's because I killed the little boy." Human beings, even if they don’t realize it, their expressions and eyes will change.”

"Although ordinary people can't see it, in my eyes, it is as clear as ink dots on white paper, which is very obvious."

Osamu Dazai let go of Conan, who was stunned by his intentional aura, stood up straight and turned to leave. The black windbreaker fluttered in the slightly cold sea breeze, making the bright red scarf around his neck like blood. Just as glaring.

"I'll give you another piece of advice, little detective—you should learn to put away your curiosity once in a while, otherwise..."

"You're going to die?"

……

……

While Dazai Osamu and Araki Kongyo were investigating Tajima Takuro, the investigation in Yokohama was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although Ranpo Edogawa was unfortunately infected when he first investigated the mermaid disease, he told his companions the important information before he lost consciousness.

—— Mermaid disease is transmitted through water sources.

However, it has a long incubation period and the source of infection is unknown, so when Edogawa Ranpo discovered it, he had already been infected with mermaid disease.

However, this discovery finally saved the companions of the Armed Detective Agency from being infected, at least allowing them to investigate the source of infection in the depressed city of Yokohama with peace of mind.

Whether it is locally produced or introduced from the outside, there must be a source of infection, and Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo are working hard to find this source.

They don't have the outstanding brain of Edogawa Ranpo, which is different from ordinary people. Ichiro and other partners in the detective agency eliminated areas one by one in a stupid way.

Although the investigation method was time-consuming and laborious, the hard work paid off, and they finally found several locations that were most likely to be the source.

"Underground waterways... Indeed, with the chaotic way of spreading mermaid disease, contaminating the underground waterway with the virus is the fastest way."

The Armed Detective Agency did not know the truth about the mermaid disease, but considering the large-scale infection in Yokohama, it could already be called a terrorist attack.

For the safety of citizens and Yokohama, the Armed Detective Agency is dispatched again.

They sneaked into the underground waterway, searching for clues, looking for people who may know the inside story of the mermaid disease, but the Yokohama underground waterway is like a spider web, and if you don't mark it, you will easily get lost.

In order to prevent potential enemies from rebelling, the members who went to investigate the underground waterway all brought weapons.

The underground waterway is spacious and clean. Because Yokohama is near the sea, the underground waterway here is very spacious in order to prevent the backflow of seawater. Some areas are even as big as a basketball court, and after entering a certain distance, you can still see There are traces of human life, perhaps some homeless wanderers left here.

Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo were very lucky. When they sneaked into the underground waterway for about 20 minutes, they heard the sound of someone whining.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...help..."

The voice was sobbing and mournful, and in such a dull and gloomy environment like the underground waterway, Kunikida Doppo's hair on his neck straightened, and he clenched his notebook and pen tightly.

Oda Sakunosuke's expression remained unchanged. He had seen many terrifying scenes when he was a killer, and he knew immediately that the person who made such a terrifying sound was still alive.

"Here." Oda Sakunosuke moved quickly. He maintained the posture of raising his pistol, and moved quickly against the wall. If he encountered a fork in the road, he would stop for a while, prick up his ears to listen to the movement, and confirm that there was no After being in danger, speed up and pass through the intersection in order to reach the place where the sound came from in the shortest possible time.

Although Kunikida Doppo was a step behind Oda Sakunosuke, he quickly followed his companion's footsteps. The two walked forward in a cautious manner for about 15 minutes in silence, and finally came to the place where the sound came from.

However, the scene in front of them made the two people who had seen the big wind and waves fall into a terrible silence. It seemed that a strange and bizarre world appeared before them, which made Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo wonder if they were in the world at the moment dreaming?Otherwise, how could they have seen such a terrifying and dizzying scene?

This is a semi-arc space, hidden in the middle of a narrow waterway, probably dug out by someone in the underground waterway on purpose, if it wasn't for Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo who followed the sound from the underground waterway, they probably wouldn't have heard of it at all. The space hidden in this narrow waterway cannot be found.

The person who made the sound was hung on the wall, his arms were wide open, his legs were closed, his mouth was open like a crucifixion, and the place where the eyes should have been turned into two black holes, obviously dead for a long time.

But they have already arrived here, and the wanderer is still muttering words for help, that vague murmur, as if it came from hell.

Kunikida Doppo had goosebumps all over his body, and a chill ran up his spine—of course he was not afraid of the dead, but after seeing this scene before him and thinking about why the dead would ask for help, Kunikida Doppo felt that he Sanity is decreasing.

Judging from the clothes on this person, he may be a member of the homeless living in the underground waterway—but the most terrifying thing is that the things that set the homeless on the wall are not ropes or nails, and they are not familiar with the legend. It is a group of white flocs that don't know what it is. It is difficult to find it with a flashlight, because these white flocs are almost integrated with the wall.

If the flocs hadn't sensed the light and squirmed into the darkness in fright, some of them had even penetrated into the homeless' eyes, ears, mouth, and nostrils, and even swelled the homeless's throat stand up.

rustling...

rustling rustle...

There was a slight sound, and Kunikida did not give up. He carefully raised the flashlight and approached the deceased. The white flocs receded like a tide where the light shone, and naturally he had to put down the clothes wrapped by them food'.

The body of the homeless man fell from mid-air with a "crack", but he looked very high, but the sound of falling was not loud, but rather dull.

"Oda, give me your flashlight."

Oda Sakunosuke handed the flashlight to Kunikida Doppo. Under the simultaneous illumination of the two flashlights, the blond-haired supernatural being noticed that something was wrong with the corpse.

He has been dead for a long time, but his skin is still soft and elastic, as if he is still alive—if Kunikida Doppo and Oda Sakunosuke had not seen those white flocs hiding in his body with their own eyes, but this person has not responded yet, I am afraid it will be Thought he was still alive.

Not only that, when Kunikida Doppo unbuttoned his collar, he was shocked to find that the dead man's skin under the collar was completely transparent!

Under that layer of transparent skin, the place that should have been the internal organs melted, and was completely occupied by these unknown white flocs, and even these white flocs were still wriggling, replacing the blood and various organs. Function, so that the corpse will make a sound even after it dies.

However, more white flocs were irritated by the lighted flashlights. There is no doubt that light is their weakness, so it is necessary to wipe out enemies who invade their territory as soon as possible, and even use light to damage them.

Kunikida Doppo shuddered, he vaguely guessed how this mermaid disease came about, just when he was about to take a closer look, Oda Sakunosuke was physically shocked, and the supernatural ability called "Seamless Clothes" was activated, The future in 5 seconds appeared in front of my eyes.

So he shouted to his companions: "Get away from that corpse!"

Before his words fell to the ground, something attacked Kunikida Doppo who was looking down at the corpse. It turned out to be countless tentacles that came out from nowhere, and at that moment, Kunikida Doppo stuck the flashlight in his hand, and then Immediately dragged away, there was a crisp sound, the flashlight was smashed, and the space was plunged into complete darkness.

All of a sudden, the ground and the ceiling were moving, and the creepy sound sounded around them in 360 degrees. The ground they were stepping on, and the high ceiling all came alive and attacked them overwhelmingly.

Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo thought that the sticky ground under their feet was moss and penicillium growing from the humid air in the underground waterway, but when these 'moss and penicillium' began to squirm, and at an incredible speed When they pounced on them, the two realized that this place was already a nest of white flocs, and even they stepped into a cage made of white flocs without knowing it.

Oda Sakunosuke avoided the attack of the white flocs and fired calmly. His marksmanship was very accurate. When several orange flames were lit, many white flocs withered and fell off in pieces, but More white flocs were angered, they condensed and intertwined, and rushed towards Oda Sakunosuke and Kunikida Doppo like a big net.

According to the skills of the two, it shouldn't be difficult to escape here, especially since both of them are supernatural beings, but this space is hidden in a narrow waterway that only allows one person to pass through. The white flocs were pressing every step of the way. They were stretched and could only defend passively.

Attacks are continuous, but Oda Sakunosuke's bullets are limited. Fortunately, Kunikida's unique ability [Doubo Yinke] can materialize the things he has seen from his notebook, so that he will not fall behind. To the point where it was eaten like the wanderer just now, and its body was still occupied as a nest after death.

If it was Junichiro Tanizaki, his supernatural ability [Xiyuki] might not be able to hide from these eyeless white flocs, but if Kenji Miyazawa was here, he would probably have used his strange power long ago Break through the wall and escape.
