I don't want to be an elf!

"Sure enough, that Tokisaki Gosan is also the clone of Nightmare..."

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Mr. Ranpo's reasoning is indeed correct."

With Bandage Three's approval, Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning became even more reliable.

Bandage Three, who lived in the detective agency, and Blindfold Three, who was in contact with the secret service, were all clones who betrayed Nightmare.

"By the way, Tokisaki Hosan, is that a pseudonym?"

"Yes and no."

"What do you mean?"

"Nightmare's real name is Tokisaki Kurumi. I think that avatar named Tokisaki Hosan likes my blindfold very much, so I named myself that."

"Then from now on we will call you Tokisaki or Kurumi, okay?"

"No, I won't inherit the name until I defeat that guy!"

"Then what should we call you?"

"Hmm..." Bandagesan thought for a moment, "You can call me Hosezo, Tokisaki Hosezo."

"The way you two named them is really simple and rude."

Hearing Bandage Three's answer, Osamu Dazai's mouth twitched: "Obviously the main body looks so elegant and tasteful... Are you really the clone of Nightmare?"

"Hmph, I hope I have nothing to do with that evil guy."

Hearing Osamu Dazai's words, Bandage San's tone became cold.

But there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

She squeezed her skirt with both fists and muttered to herself, "That kind of guy... I won't admit it..."

Seeing the girl's slightly lonely expression, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Dazai Osamu fell silent.

Especially after the intelligence obtained by the special agents included what happened in the drug factory more than half a month ago, and they became more convinced of the hard-hearted and inhuman side of the nightmare, it became even more difficult for them to believe that the girl in front of them was the former one. Nightmare.

Especially Osamu Dazai, who had been with her for a whole week, although he was depressed by her, he still felt a little pity in his heart.

For a person with a bright heart, the greatest despair in the world is not that justice is defeated by evil.

Rather, one becomes part of the evil.

This child must... be in great pain.

Chapter 73 Accidental Birth

Originally Osamu Dazai wanted to ask her why she betrayed Nightmare.

But looking at her current appearance, he could guess the answer even without asking.

When Bandage Three from the past was summoned, he witnessed the brutality of the present Nightmare and refused to admit that they were the same person.

As a result, dissatisfaction turned into contradictions, and the contradictions deteriorated into differences, and finally the two parted ways.

However, although he knew the reason why Bandage Three betrayed Nightmare, Osamu Dazai still had a question that he wanted an answer to more.

"Bengsan, that's what I'll call you from now on." Osamu Dazai asked, "Do you know why you... have become a nightmare from the current you?"

It is only natural for people to change. There are no static people in this world.

But such a huge change between Bandage Three and Nightmare must be because something happened to turn Bandage Three into a nightmare.

If we could figure out what turned Bandage Three into a nightmare, then the Armed Detective Agency might be able to find a way to fight her.

"I don't know."

However, Bandage Three shook his head, and said slowly: "Because I am an individual from a long time ago, I have no idea what exactly Tokisaki Kurumi has experienced now."

"Didn't you ask Nightmare before you betrayed her?"

"Of course I asked, but Nightmare has always been unwilling to tell me." Bandage Three curled his lips, "Not only Nightmare, but also other avatars, no one is willing to tell me what happened in the future, the most outrageous It's that they don't even want to talk to me! Every time I try to get close to them, they run away!"

"Hmm... sounds very convincing."

Osamu Dazai didn't doubt it at all, because it sounded too real.

It is quite normal for the secondary illness to be isolated. After graduating from the secondary illness, some people think of the dark history of the past, and even want to strangle themselves through time.

It is quite normal for Bandage Three to be disliked by the main body and other clones.

The conversation between the three continued for a long time.

Although Bandage III has too many questions to answer, but as a young Tokisaki Kurumi, it is still no problem to answer some questions about Tokisaki Kurumi's youth.

Bandage San also unreservedly told them Tokisaki Kurumi's previous experience in high school.

It also includes the experience of Takamiya Mio giving Tokisaki Kuang three spirit crystals.

It’s just that this world does not have Mio Takamiya, nor does it have spiritual crystals, so in order to enhance credibility, the story of Kurumi Tokisaki has been slightly modified to be more in line with the worldview of this world.

After telling the two men of the Armed Detective Agency about their revised experiences, the background of the nightmare in this world can be considered truly unfolded.

"It turns out that you are just an ordinary person from a superior family. One day, an existence called [Phantom] endowed you with the power of time, and at her invitation, you started the heroic activity of punishing evil and promoting good."

Difficult to extract the main points from Bandage III's one-hour-long narration that combines the characteristics of Chu Er, Osamu Dazai pondered over the reliability of the story she told.

Even if you believe her 100%, her story is still unconvincing.

However, as a person who understands both black and white, Dazai Osamu knows more than ordinary people, even more than people in the industry, and he also knows how strange this world is.

After all, the existence of supernatural powers is the crystallization of pure magic that countless scientists have tried to explain but cannot come to any conclusion.

No matter how magical things appear, Osamu Dazai feels normal.

What's more, abilities can indeed be given.

Although in the supernatural world, this is just a rumor like a rumor, Osamu Dazai knows that under certain conditions, supernatural powers can indeed be granted.

Quan Jinghua is a good example. She had no supernatural powers, but because of her blood connection, she inherited her mother's Yasha Baixue.

"However, who is the phantom in your mouth? Do you have any clues?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"I have only been fighting side by side with Phantom for a few weeks, and she has been tight-lipped about her past." Bandage Three shook his head, "But another treacherous avatar may know something, and among all avatars, my qualifications are the one with the shortest .”

"Do you have a way to contact another defected clone?"

"No... If you hadn't told me about this, I wouldn't even know that there are other clones who betrayed Nightmare."

"Then, how to invite that avatar to have a talk is a long-term plan." Osamu Dazai sighed slightly.

Bandage Three and Blindfold Three clones, although they both betrayed Nightmare, they have obvious differences in character and methods.

The former was not only caught by Nightmare while escaping, but he was almost executed if he had not been rescued by an armed detective agency. After spending the past few days together, he gave the impression that he was a child who had not grown up.

The latter, not only escaped the pursuit of the nightmare, but was also able to set up a trick to lure out Ango Sakaguchi, the guy hiding in the ground. The two talked for a long time, and Ango Sakaguchi didn't even know what she looked like, and didn't leave any clues.

Duan crushing.

If you have to say who is more like a nightmare, then blindfold three is undoubtedly better than bandage three.

That's why Dazai Osamu believed that if he could talk to that clone, he would be able to get more information.

But it is not that easy to meet Eyepatch San. After Sakaguchi Ango was ambushed, the Special Agent Agency went all out to search for her traces, but nothing was found.

Osamu Dazai felt that even Edogawa Ranpo of the Armed Detective Agency would not be able to do better.

But no matter what, they have to try.

The only thing that can contact Blindfold San is the phone number she left for Ango Sakaguchi.

The contact information of Blindfold Three for all supernatural agents, and Bandage Three for the Armed Detective Agency, maybe the two can use this opportunity to unite.

"Ding ding ding -----!"

However, just as Dazai Osamu was thinking about future countermeasures, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Kunikida-kun? Could it be that you called to check on the situation?"

Osamu Dazai took out his mobile phone, showing a helpless expression: "Obviously the president is by my side, no matter how I say it, I can't take advantage of it, right? In Kunikida-kun's heart, how unreliable I am. "

"Hey, this is Dazai, what's going on?"

Just as Dazai Osamu was about to say this when he got on the phone, Kunikida Doppo's eager voice came first.

"Dazai! Come back! The nightmare is attacking the detective agency!"

Chapter 74 The Nightmare Comes

The armed detective agency is on alert.

There are no crowds around who like to watch the excitement.

In this world, the existence of abilities is not information that needs to be concealed from the masses.

In other words, even if the governments of various countries deliberately conceal it, there is nothing they can do.

The reason is as it is now.

The streets that should have been bustling in the daytime had no pedestrians passing by at this moment.

When people saw twenty beautiful girls dressed exactly the same, with half of their bodies exposed in the shadows, and some suspended in the air, no one dared to take a second look, and they all ran away in a hurry.

Even a child can understand what this means.

"Nightmare, your current actions have seriously threatened the peace of Yokohama and the stability of our headquarters!"

In the Armed Detective Agency, Kunikida Doppo, who is acting temporarily as the president, held a loudspeaker and shouted on the third floor: "If the port mafia wants to go to war, you'd better weigh whether you can bear the consequences of an all-out war with us!"

"Ah, ah, it's too exaggerated to start a full-scale war. I just came here to ask you to hand over one person."

"If you are talking about your clone, she is not here now. Even if she is here, we will not give it to you."

"To be honest, it doesn't matter what that child is. Anyway, he doesn't know much, and you won't pose much threat to me if you accept it."

"Then why did you come here?"

"Atsushi Nakajima, I want you to hand over that human tiger. This is the task Mr. Mori gave me."

"Impossible. Although Atsushi Nakajima is a newcomer, he has already become a member of our society anyway. If you want to capture him, you should be prepared to step over other people's corpses!"

Hearing the confrontation between Kunikida Doppo and Tokisaki Kurumi, the pale Nakajima Atsushi looked gratefully at Kunikida Doppo.

Although this senior is old-fashioned and irritable, there is no doubt that he is also very reliable and a good senior who considers his companions.

So far, the Armed Detective Agency has helped Atsushi Nakajima stop several arrests from the port mafia.

Even though there were a few very dangerous times, in order to protect myself, I almost lost my life, but in the end I survived without any danger.

Even if the Armed Detective Agency is not as big as the Port Mafia, it has a lot of elites and a tacit cooperation.

Having joined the agency for some days, Atsushi Nakajima has a general idea of ​​the strength of the Armed Detective Agency.

"But this time..."

Atsushi Nakajima swallowed, and looked out the window at the Tokisaki Kurumi who almost filled the entire street, and became more and more frightened.

In addition to the main body, how many clones are there?

There are already twenty of them that can be seen with the naked eye, and there may be more clones hidden in the shadows.

Each of them has exactly the same ability as Tokisaki?

Not only can it shoot energy bullets that are completely defenseless, but it can also fight in the air and sneak into the shadows for sneak attacks?

Atsushi Nakajima looked around him.

Dazai Osamu and Fukuzawa Yukichi are temporarily absent, and the two important combat forces Miyazawa Kenji and Tanizaki Junichiro are also unable to come back to support in a short period of time because they are out to perform commissions. Now the only members around him are himself, Kunikida Doppo, and Xie Ye Akiko, and Edogawa Ranpo are just four people.

Four supernatural beings, against at least twenty supernatural beings?

Not to mention that Yosano Akiko's and Yosano Akiko's abilities are medical abilities, and they can only carry out physical attacks with machetes in battle. Edogawa Ranpo's abilities are even more reasoning-type abilities. I have no combat power at all. He said that when the battle started, he had to send someone to protect him!

Based on this calculation, the Armed Detective Agency's available combat power is only two people!

What Atsushi Nakajima can think of, Kunikida Doppo can naturally think of, from his frown can be seen that he is now anxious and restless.

Atsushi Nakajima clutched at his clothes desperately, out of breath.

Why, it must be me?

What on earth had I done to end up with a behemoth like the Port Mafia?
