Metasequoia Blade

To be honest, in the middle of the night, a guy with a whole body in black emerged from the mouth of the well, which was quite frightening.

Yi Zeshan swiped almost subconsciously and closed the paper door.

After closing it, he felt something was wrong, so he pulled it open again abruptly, and saw that Mori Ogai had stepped on the edge of the well and jumped into the courtyard.

Mori Ogai was wet all over, with black hair sticking to his face, looking very embarrassed.

"Yo, Mr. Izzy, I thought you should come."

He gave Yi Zeshan a weak smile: "If it is convenient, can I take a hot shower? It would be even better if there is hot chocolate."

Izesugi was full of question marks, he hesitated, and let Mori Ogai enter the room: "...there is hot chocolate, what's going on with you?"

After Mori Ogai entered the room, he took the dry towel from Izawa Sugi, and he looked at Izawa Sugi.

Izesugi was wearing a black home yukata, her long black and gradually green hair hung down softly behind her head, as if it had been waxed, without any curls.

Obviously there was a lifted quilt on the bed, the boy should have been resting before, but after getting up, the hair is still so neat, what does this mean?

Apparently Izawasugi wasn't really sleeping.

——No, he just has good hair quality.

Mori Ogai smiled and said, "Didn't you already know?"

Izesugi snorted, kicked Mori Ogai into the bathroom: "I'll give you 10 minutes, come out after cleaning and explain to me."

Mori Ogai took a combat shower, and 5 minutes later he walked out of the bathroom wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

"Ah, I finally came back to life." Mori Ogai sat down with a smile, and he picked up the cup on the coffee table: "Thank you for your hospitality."

After a cup of hot chocolate, Mori Ogai felt comfortable, and even had the urge to go to bed right away.

Izeshan patted the table impatiently: "Tell me, why did you crawl out of my well in the middle of the night like Sadako?"

Mori Ogai smiled and said: "Don't say that, the port mafia has always had a secret passage leading directly to your house here, or the secret passage repaired decades ago, have you forgotten?"

Izeshan rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, what's the reason? There must be a reason for you to come here in the middle of the night, right?"

"The reason, you don't get into the fog, is that the reason?" Mori Ogai tilted his head, and the black hair hanging down from his sideburns made the smile on his face a bit dangerous.

Yi Zeshan was taken aback, and he suddenly looked out the window.

I don't know when it started to fog up outside the courtyard, and the fog was so thick that I couldn't even see the red building that was so close by Immortal Kawashiya!

"This is Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's ability. Every time before the ability is activated, fog will form, and all people with the ability in the space covered by the fog will be killed."

Mori Ogai said leisurely: "In the evening, I received news that Shibusawa Ryuhiko entered Yokohama through Dazai's channel. If Dazai helps Shibusawa Ryuhiko come in, he will definitely notify you."

"My guess is right, there are indeed people here, it's great."

Mori Ogai said sincerely: "Your house has a barrier, the fog can't get in, and people with supernatural powers won't be killed. That's why I came here."

Izawa Sugi frowned, and he asked Mori Ogai: "What is Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's supernatural ability? Fog kills people?"

"No, no one knew before, but now..."

Mori Ogai took a sip of hot chocolate and said, "It was my own ability that killed me."

Izeshan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"My superpower is Alice."

Mori Ogai said meaningfully: "If I am covered in fog, then Alice will attack me."

"No one can defeat their own abilities. After losing their abilities, people with different abilities will almost become ordinary people. That's why the previous people with different abilities were killed by Shibusawa Ryuhiko."

Mori Ogai looked at Izawa Sugi, and his tone was a little subtle: "It seems that Yaoya Swordsman, who doesn't need to activate supernatural powers, is Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's biggest nemesis, but..."

Mori Ogai's expression became serious: "When the fog is filled, ordinary people will disappear inexplicably. Although I don't know the specific reason, they seem to be swallowed by this layer of fog, so I'm not sure if you enter the fog, you appear in the fog , will still be swallowed by the fog shield."

Izeshan thought for three seconds, and suddenly understood everything.

He suddenly looked at Mori Ogai: "Then you leave my place immediately! Osamu Dazai will push Shibusawa Tatsuhiko to attack me!"

Think about it, in Yokohama, which is shrouded in thick fog, there is only one place that is not affected by supernatural powers, like an oasis in the desert, could Shibusawa Tatsuhiko be blind and not see this place?

At this moment, the doorbell outside the house rang.

Jingle Bell--

Izawa Sugi glanced teasingly at Mori Ogai. It seemed that Osamu Dazai had deep resentment towards his former boss, and spared no effort to deceive Mori Ogai.

Mori Ogai frowned slightly, he said, "It's not necessarily Shibusawa Ryuhiko, Dazai must be by Shibusawa Ryuhiko's side now."

Yi Zeshan got up and walked to the door, he opened the door.

Fog filled the outside of the gate, almost swallowing everything. The black-gray fog followed the door and wanted to enter the courtyard, but disappeared without a sound the moment they entered.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly nervous voice sounded: "Hi, hello!"

Izeshan looked at the people outside the door in surprise, one was tall and the other was short, the tall one was unknown, and the short one was the Izumi Kyoka whom he had met with Yosano Akiko some time ago.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Yi Zeshan: "Mr. Yi Ze!! Do you live here?"

Izesugi snorted: "This is my mansion in Yokohama, this is..."

Quan Jinghua immediately said: "This is Aton, Atsushi Nakajima from the Armed Detective Agency, we are now being attacked by our own supernatural powers, when we passed by here before, Aton said that he would come here no matter what, so he knocked on the door. "

Izesugi was taken aback, he wanted to come here no matter what?

He looked at Atsushi Nakajima.

Atsushi Nakajima is a boy with short white hair, a strand of white hair falls down his right cheek, his eyes are dark purple, with some golden reflections around the edges.

The boy's face was full of apprehension and uneasiness. When Izeshan looked over, he immediately bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!! I don't know. When Jinghuajiang and I passed by here, I wanted to knock on the door for no reason. Can't help myself."

Izawa Sugi is thoughtful, Atsushi Nakajima?Isn't this the "tiger" that Osamu Dazai mentioned?

He glanced at the black-gray mist, and there seemed to be something about to move inside.

Izesugi smiled: "Let's talk about it first."

He let the two of them in, and after closing the door, invisible waves rippled slightly, blocking the prying eyes of the outside world.

Izesugi asked Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka: "Are you two people with supernatural powers?"

Quan Jinghua nodded: "Yes, we were attacked by our own supernatural powers. I'm afraid your place will be attacked soon, so we should leave first..."

"No way~"

Mori Ogai was leaning against the pillar by the porch with a cup in his hand. He looked at Izumi Kyoka with a smile: "Look who is this? Kyoka? Human tiger?"

Quan Jinghua's expression changed suddenly, and she immediately stood in front of Atsushi Nakajima, her body trembling slightly: "The boss of the port mafia?!"

Atsushi Nakajima: "...what?"

Izeshan: "He came to take refuge, just like you."

Izeshan reached out and pressed the girl's wrist holding the short knife: "It's okay, I'm here."

Quan Jinghua paused, and she lowered her head slightly. Although her body was still trembling, she remembered the scene of Yaowu's assessment...

She quietly let go of the dagger.

Izawasugi looked deeply at Atsushi Nakajima.

The last time Osamu Dazai followed Fukuzawa Yukichi to Tokyo, he briefly talked with him about [Book] and [Tiger].

Thinking of the wanted arrest of up to 70 billion, and Atsushi Nakajima's words of "come here no matter what", a guess gradually formed in Izesugi's mind.

He looked at Atsushi Nakajima very seriously, as if he was looking at something inside him.

"Tell me, you said, you want to come anyway? Why do you have this idea?"

Atsushi Nakajima is a thin young man who lived in an orphanage when he was young. He ate very little and wandered for a while. He was always worried about causing trouble because of himself. Hearing what Izesugi said, Nakajima Don immediately panicked.

"I, I'm leaving now, can that please Jing Huajiang stay here? I'll just go out!"

With that said, he turned and wanted to leave.

Izeshan stretched out his hand to hold Atsushi Nakajima's collar, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Don't go, you answer my question first, otherwise I will keep you and drive this little girl out."

Quan Jinghua: "..."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Are you the devil?

Atsushi Nakajima said tremblingly, "I, I don't know..."

He swallowed, and said dryly: "Jinghuajiang and I ran over from the apartment. We wanted to go to the detective agency, but when we passed by here, a voice in my heart told me that I must go in... I, I Come and ring the bell."

Atsushi Nakajima looked up at the person in front of him.

Although it was the first time I saw Izawa Sugi, Nakajima Atsushi was in a trance for a moment when he saw the eyes of the other party: "Please save Yokohama, this is your duty."

"...Ahhh what did I say?"

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Izesugi in horror: "I, no, I didn't say that, I didn't say anything."

Izeshan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"You are right, this is my duty."

Although there are many people who want to be Yokohama's father, Yokohama is his territory and his duty.

Izesugi looked up at the sky outside, under the dark night, a crimson moon slowly rose, and a somewhat hazy tower appeared in the distance, Shibusawa Ryuhiko should be there.

Izesugi touched Atsushi Nakajima's head: "Come with me."

Mori Ogai said with great interest, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the shrine." Izesugi looked at the sky: "The time is about the same. Generally, the sacrificial dance starts in the middle of the night and dances from midnight to dawn."

"The shrine should store some props for the sacrificial dance."

Izeshan smiled: "Although I learned a set of Kamura Dance, the god of fire used to worship the god of fire, I never really danced it, because I don't believe in gods."

"It's just... If it's to awaken the spirits of the people living in this land, I think I can give it a try."

"It is not to pray to the gods, but to ask the souls of the people living on this land to emit a radiance like a flame to disperse this dense fog."

"I believe that there is a fire burning in everyone's heart, and each of us is a Vulcan."
