As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
I held the tiger's ear with one hand, and grabbed the tiger's back with the other hand, and I rode hard on the white tiger's body.
Bai Hu is naturally unhappy about becoming my mount. Ever since, it kept jumping back and forth trying to throw me off.
But it was too late, my pocket watch had successfully clung to its skin: it kept rewinding its time.
Finally, after my unremitting efforts, I succeeded in rewinding the time of White Tiger back to the period of Atsushi Nakajima.
However, even if he returned to human form, I couldn't help but ignore him. Because, after all, my superpower cannot neutralize the moon beast. So, he can still change back and throw me away.
"Si Ye!" Tanizaki roared in horror and rushed over to catch me who was thrown away.
I suppressed my nausea, said thank you, and immediately stood on the same front as Tanizaki, ready to resist Nakajima Atsushi's attack.
On the other hand, Nakajima Atsushi has probably learned the lesson just now. He did not turn into a white tiger this time, but maintained his half-man, half-tiger appearance.
Now I can observe Nakajima Atsushi's abnormality more intuitively.
I saw that his whole body was covered with strange bloodshot eyes.
But the bloodshot eyes didn't appear to be from him. On the contrary, it was as if someone had prepared a large blood-red net before and then tied it into Atsushi Nakajima's flesh.
I estimate that Atsushi Nakajima’s actions and thoughts were controlled because of this.
"Si Ye, be careful," Tanizaki reminded quietly as he took out the dagger in his arms, "there may be a person with supernatural powers ambushing you nearby."
"Understood." I nodded and responded.
"Super power, Soyuki!" Tanizaki roared and summoned a green screen.
In an instant, Tanizaki disappeared, but white snow was floating in the sky, as beautiful as stars.
At this time, it seemed that only me and Atsushi Nakajima were left confronting each other in the room.
But I know in my heart that I am not alone.
After adjusting the position of the pocket watch, I picked up the pistol. Although I knew in my heart that bullets did not pose any threat to the white tiger boy, I had to attract his attention first and give Tanizaki the opportunity to attack.
Sure enough, with a few shots, I successfully attracted Atsushi Nakajima's attention.
I saw him taking three steps and then two steps, rushing towards me like crazy.
I immediately gave up and dropped the pistol, pretending to be ready to repeat my old plan.
Although Atsushi Nakajima was controlled, he was not stupid and could not fall into a trap twice.
So this time I only waved my hands around his head, and after a false shot, I tried my best to restrain Nakajima Atsushi's hands.
But obviously I still overestimated myself. Even though the veins in my arms popped out, I still only controlled Atsushi Nakahara for only half a minute.
But the time was just right. The moment I broke away and jumped away, a huge mountain of beer bottles collapsed, all piled on top of Atsushi Nakajima.
This was not over yet, Tanizaki jumped out of it. Faced with Atsushi Nakahara, who was completely focused on me, he was almost unable to fight back against this sudden attack.
Finally, after the sound of "clattering", the world returned to silence.
"Are you okay?" The magical snow was lifted, and Tanizaki's figure reappeared in front of me.
"It should be fine." I swallowed, fearing that there would be movement in the mountains.
After confirming that the situation was safe for the time being, Tanizaki and I "digged" Atsushi Nakajima out.
"Because Si Ye can rewind time, I acted a little harder." After digging out Atsushi Nakajima, Tanizaki smiled sheepishly.
Yes, he should be embarrassed indeed. The back of Nakajima Atsushi's neck was already covered in blood despite the fact that he was hit not long ago. It can be seen from this that Tanizaki not only worked hard, but also worked very hard!
"Ah ha ha ha..." I didn't know what to say, I just smiled awkwardly and silently calculated the time it would take to transport Atsushi Nakajima back to the detective agency.
But I guess I won't make the trip. I hope Dr. Yosano can save him.
Here, let us observe three minutes of silence for Atsushi Nakajima.
While transporting Atsushi Nakajima, we dug out several long ropes from the house.
After trying all kinds of weird bundling methods, we finally found a proper and beautiful way to transport Atsushi Nakajima.
"Where is Mr. Dazai?" I finally reached the detective agency and opened the door and asked.
No way, during the transportation process, Nakajima Atsushi woke up, and his condition was the same as before: his body was covered with bloodshot eyes, and low-pitched roars kept coming from his throat.
Such a difficult power must be disabled.
"Do you miss me that much?"
Inside the room, Dazai Osamu was sitting on the sofa with his back to us, his back still looking so calm and composed.
"Mr. Dazai, we found Atun!" Tanizaki couldn't help it and shouted excitedly.
After hearing this, Osamu Dazai couldn't hold back his anger. After he put down the book, he turned to look at us.
After seeing the situation clearly, Osamu Dazai frowned slightly, stood up and walked towards us. Then, he put his hand on Nakajima Atsushi's shoulder and patted it a few times.
The curse in Atsushi Nakajima's throat suddenly stopped, and the bloodshot threads gradually faded away until they disappeared.
"Let's help him lie down in the infirmary first." Osamu Dazai said, gesturing to us with his eyes.
"Understood." Tanizaki and I nodded, looking serious.
Tanizaki and I put Nakajima Atsushi firmly on the bed. After untying him, we exchanged worried looks.
"I always have a hunch that the disappearance of Akutagawa and Nakajima Atsushi must be related." I sat on the edge of the bed, lowered my head and stared at my knees.
"I feel the same way," Tanizaki shrugged, "I just don't know if the mafia has found Akutagawa."
"I guess there's nothing I can do about it once I find it. They can't invalidate Akutagawa's abilities." I smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in my tone.
"Si Ye, Tanizaki," Kunikida opened the door at this time, his eyes sharp, "We found new files in that old computer. Come out and there will be new clues."
Hearing the sound, I felt happy, raised my butt and walked out the door, with Tanizaki following closely behind me.
When I walked to the computer, there was a word document that had been debugged on the screen. The entire interface had red text on a black background, which was strange and abnormal.
The content of the article is as follows:
Oh, my dear white dove, you are always looking for peace and hope.
Oh, my dear white dove, you always provide joy and warmth.
Oh, my dear fiancée, you always love to dance in the night.
Oh, my dear fiancée, why did you leave and never come back?
Oh, my dear, why is peace always accompanied by death?
Oh, my dear, the sound of death will represent you forever.
…
After reading this document, I suddenly felt a chill. I don’t know if it’s because of the weird color scheme or its content.
I don’t know the author’s true meaning in writing this poem, but he must be deeply in love with the fiancée in the poem.
