Leader Zai and Despair Raids the World

tick.tick,

tick-

The sound of water dripping on cold stone.

But what is dripping is not just water droplets.

Kudo Shinichi woke up again, and hurriedly took advantage of the time when he regained his sobriety, and tried his best to collect all the information around him.

"..."

In the slightly shaking field of vision, there is no difference from the last time.

Still that cell.

Stone walls, flagstones, stone railings.Probably because of the convenience of rinsing off the stains with a large amount of clean water?But even so, the lingering bloody smell slowly seeped into the cracks in the stones.How many people were tortured in this cell? ...How many cells like this are there?

Kudo reluctantly shook his head and looked around. This action made him involuntarily move his arms, which made him gasp physiologically, and broke out in cold sweat in an instant.

To be honest, Kudo Shinichi thought that the torture he was subjected to did not go beyond the scope of common sense and reached the other end of the limit level of novelty hunting.

Since "sneaking in",... or "deliberately captured", he has received two kinds of tortures, namely whipping and waterboarding.

Whip punishment uses a small special whip, and water punishment uses hands bound instead of being hung upside down into the water.In spite of the pain, Kudo Shinichi judged calmly: these two tortures will not kill people anyway.

Thinking of this, Kudo couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope popping up in his heart:

Could it be that Dazai hasn't received the report from his subordinates yet?

Did layers of reporting create delays?

Could it be that the keywords of "disqualification in the world" are not enough, and Dazai, he is on his way soon...?

There was a balance in his heart that was shaking from side to side.Sometimes I think "impossible, that's Dazai", and sometimes I think "how could it be, that's Dazai."

That is Osamu Dazai who is so gentle that he paves the way for everyone!

Kudo didn't want to believe it, nor did he want to believe in other possibilities.

"Edogawa Conan" has never been excluded from the circle of protection by Osamu Dazai, and he has never felt the darkness that truly belongs to the "Mafia leader" in Dazai.

He also didn't want to feel it personally.If that coldness was not shown in front of him, the great detective could still see the pure white child when he closed his eyes.

(Don't. Don't kill that kid...)

Sometimes, when suddenly awakened from a coma, Kudo Shinichi thought of this sentence as the first sentence.

And then he thought, I'm just here to repay your kindness.I don't want to take anything away from your world. ...I wanted to see what I could do to help.Since my world can't keep you, can't your own world either...

But soon, Kudo Shinichi's thoughts will be interrupted.

The mafia in charge of the torture entered the cell.

(a whip)

"Name?"

"Kudou, Shinichi."

(two whips)

"identity?"

"Cough, cough, cough... students."

(three whips)

"address?"

"Mi... Hanamachi..."

The pain made him instinctively want to curl up his body, but he couldn't, his limbs were bound to the stone wall and he couldn't move.

He also wanted to interfere with the other party's movements with words, but he couldn't do this.These mafia are well-trained and orderly, except for the fixed torture questions, they don't say a word, no matter whether he is provocative or sarcastic, begging or shouting. ... It's really time for Qin Jiu and his colleagues to learn for themselves.Kudo thought coldly and humorously.Show those guys what the real Mafia looks like.

The caning was followed by waterboarding.After coming out of the water wet, it was hung back to the wall.

Kudo Shinichi fell into a coma and then woke up, woke up and passed out again.Occasionally when I was sober, I wanted to shout loudly: I am telling the truth!Not a single word is false!Where are you going to find another prisoner who is more cooperative than me? !Anyway, do me a favor, report this information quickly! !Don't ask those fixed questions upside down anymore... I know that there is no rice flower town in this world and there is no "Kudo Shinichi"!By the way, can your leader come to ask questions in person? !I promise to reveal more information than any prisoner!

He didn't seem to yell, but he seemed to really yell.It's hard to tell.After all, his coma and awakening were quite short. Dazai's mafia subordinates were simply too conscientious, and they were quite skilled in any torture method that would make people half-dead in pain and hang their breath.

And besides that, there is no device in this cell that can judge the time.

There are no windows—no light or shade cast from outside.

No candles - no way to guess the time from how well the candles were burning.

Personnel not on regular patrols—one cannot infer external conditions from staffing, changing of guards, etc.

The indoor lighting is a cold light wall lamp inlaid on the inner side of the stone wall.Even this lamp, when and how often it turns on and off is random and not fixed.

... Kudo Shinichi is simply out of control.For a genius mind of a detective, physical pain and torture are far less suffocating than locking this clever mind in an empty secret room where all information has been erased.

No matter who invented this prison cell, that person's control over the human heart is more terrifying than the devil.

Sometimes Kudo Shinichi thought about his backhand in a daze, and wondered if there were any small props on his body that had been hidden from the eyes of these mafias; God; sometimes he couldn't help but break down, so he let himself yell at the sealed stone door... Maybe he scolded the gin for being unreliable.

Finally one time, the stone door opened, and it wasn't a mafia in a black suit and black sunglasses who walked in.

That is, a woman wearing a dragging kimono with red hair as magnificent as a flame.

And, upon seeing him, he covered his lips with a long sleeve and laughed:

"Sure enough, he's still a brat," the woman said.

Kudo Shinichi cheered up, "If I'm a brat, who are you?" He deliberately asked unconvinced.

"Ozaki Momiji." The woman said with a meaningful smile.

"Ozaki..." Kudo Shinichi almost choked on himself: Isn't this the name of another literary giant? !And is it really okay for 'Ozaki Momiji' to be a woman? !His original name is 'Tokutaro', but he has nothing to do with women!It's okay to say that 'Dazai Osamu' has the same name, although he is not a literary giant, he turned around and went to gangsters... Why did another literary giant jump to the mafia? ?Not all literary giants are in your port mafia, right? ——Does the literary world still exist in this world? !

Kudo really couldn't hold back his speechless expression, but obviously, this omission in expression was spotted by Koyo Ozaki at a glance.

"Why?" Koyo Ozaki asked with a smile, "Not only do you know our leader, but you have also heard his own name?"

"—Yeah." Kudo said intentionally, "Not only you two, but also Kawabata Yasunari, Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Mishima Yukio, Mori Ogai... I know them all."

After saying this, Kudo Shinichi was almost speechless, feeling the killing intent that almost stings his skin: he casually listed a few famous writers who appeared in Chinese textbooks, and they really hit him? !By the way, who is it?And who doesn't write well and goes to join the mafia? ! ? !

Kudo couldn't take it anymore.He licked his dry and chapped lips, looked at Koye Ozaki with slightly cold eyes, and said dryly: "So... can Dazai come to interrogate me? Really, I promise I will tell everything."

A high school detective tries hard to keep his eyes open, making sure that every hair on his body is written with sincerity.

"..." Koyo Ozaki was silent for a moment, then refused.

"Perhaps there is nothing wrong with you yourself, except for 'no such person'." She said, "However, without my knowledge, a detonating device was installed inside the body, and taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to the leader, together with the host itself, And blow it up, it’s not like this kind of assassination has never happened before. Or you may also be manipulated by supernatural powers, or these secrets were told to you in advance by other people, and you are just a one-time pawn to get close to the leader.  … In short, you cannot be given a chance to get close to the leader."

Kudo Shinichi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and deeply felt that his worldview had been shattered once again.

I mean, this world is too dangerous, right?Is mafia boss such a dangerous job? ?

Without waiting for the detective to react and open his mouth to refute, Koyo Ozaki smiled slightly.

"But—you can tell me."

The actual leader of the torture class whispered the devil's coaxing.

"Maybe you know, maybe you don't know: there are five cadres under the command of the leader." Koyo Ozaki smiled: "And the concubine is unfortunately one of them."

"If you give up this opportunity, you will die in this cell, and no one will be qualified to tell the leader your information."

"How? You've been waiting long enough after all, haven't you?"

"…………"

Kudo Shinichi stared at the beautiful and poisonous Ozaki Koyo, deeply feeling that he couldn't get along with this type of woman.

He sighed.He gave up.He is still willing to believe in Osamu Dazai.He thought—a gamble.

Kudo Shinichi said.With reservations, I told a beautiful story about the evolution from virtual reality to reality.The story begins with a sweet dream and ends with a sweet dream, and the sequel begins with a pure white room. Kudo Shinichi hopes that this is also a sweet dream.

Koyo Ozaki couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly.She really wanted to ask who was that gentle and kind child?She has witnessed Dazai growing up little by little. In that heart full of darkness and blood, is there really a ray of light left?

But after getting rid of all kinds of cruel and ruthless methods, Ozaki Koye occasionally realizes that after experiencing all this...she still regards the port mafia as her [home].

This discovery made Koyo Ozaki lose interest in continuing to amuse children.

After she got the information she needed, she turned around and left, leaving Kudo Shinichi thumping in vain, shouting "Tell Dazai earlier", "I didn't tell a single lie!" and so on.

... These days, it is indeed rare for a prisoner to be so honest as to slam into the door.

And Kudo Shinichi finally got his wish.

After Koye Ozaki left, he forced himself to take a short sleep to recover his energy. After waking up, he stared at the stone slab without ants and counted the seconds silently. He didn't know how long the time had passed. Finally, he waited until the stone door opened.

The person standing at the door was neither Dazai Osamu nor Ozaki Koyo.

It's the mafia, but they don't have instruments of torture in their hands.

They walked forward in silence, one of them untied Kudo Shinichi, and then dragged him forward.

No matter what Kudo tried along the way, these people didn't say a word as if they had their tongues cut off.

Both ends of the road seem to be prison cells, and the stone gates are also closed, blocking all possible screams, and the silence is creepy, as if this is a one-way street leading directly to the bottom of hell.

They have finally arrived.

Not hell, but another cell.

Kudo Shinichi was tied up again by the mafia... Fortunately, he was finally given a chair this time.

He watched these people busy in a daze, until the wall directly in front of him lowered completely, revealing the one-way perspective glass specially used for torture.

In the opposite cell is gin.

Obviously, the injury was much more serious, and he received "preferential treatment" due to his obvious dark identity of the same kind.

The pitch-black overcoat stuffed with all kinds of deadly weapons has long been stripped off, and the bare upper body is covered with all kinds of horrific wounds, and the long silver-white hair is covered with scabs of blood.

Gin also looked as if he had just been lowered from the torture apparatus, and even he was a little unsteady when he stood up.

However, when Qin Jiu looked at the other end, his indifferent and fierce face softened almost visible to the naked eye, and even the corners of his lips subconsciously bent.

The man knelt down without hesitation.

"Mr. Dazai."

Gin said respectfully.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi understood:

Just like he used gin to infiltrate the port mafia.

Gin and him, in turn, used Kudo Shinichi.
