A mortal body without the protection of supernatural powers actually poses no threat.
Kajii was seen with his palms raised, his face ferocious, but at the same time he was also funny and scary. There were a bunch of lemon bombs hanging on him, and he looked shaky. This was probably the only thing that worried people at the moment.
The muddy water was glowing with viscous light, and thick white smoke was rising. The pungent smell of the gas constantly stimulated my sense of smell. The moss on the top of the head is slippery, and the sun turns left without even looking at it.
Mariko was injured and huddled in a place where the sun could not shine, staring with a pair of faint eyes.
Her appearance often gives people the illusion that the stars are buried in the mud.
Probably because most dangerous things have taken a break, I suddenly felt nauseated.
It's numb, it's really numb.
The bulge of the pocket watch touched the palm of my hand, causing itchiness. After Kunikida winked at Tanizaki and me, he stepped forward and kicked Kajii hard and fast in the abdomen, causing him to briefly fly into the air.
Kajii made no move and was at the mercy of Kunikida like a piece of wood.
"Si Ye!"
"clear!"
With just a glance, I instantly understood what Kunikida meant.
The muscles in my legs tensed up in the blink of an eye, and I shot away like a bullet. I rushed to Kajii's body and was shrouded in his shadow.
At this time, with a little more force, I jumped to the same height as him. With a little effort, all the lemon bombs on Kajii's body were held in my arms.
clatter--
Peng——
Kajii and I landed at the same time, but one was lighter and the other heavier.
"Now, Mafia owes the detective agency a favor." Tanizaki forced a smile.
"But, that's not right..." I frowned and clucked my lips.
"What's wrong?" Tanizaki asked.
"According to what Mr. Dazai and Mr. Kunikida said, Mafia will not let Kajii come alone. In other words, it will not let him come unprepared." I said while observing Mariko with my peripheral vision.
"Mafia might have been blocked by her..." Kunikida kicked Kajii aside in disgust.
"she?"
"A person," Kunikida shuddered, "Dazai and I were seriously injured by her."
"If that's the case, it's actually good news."
"Why? Si Ye."
"Because this will give us enough time to talk to Miss Mariko."
The corners of my mouth slightly curved and I looked at her with squinted eyes. After feeling my gaze, the latter raised his palms vigilantly, and the fish tail gently hit the water surface again, as if threatening.
"Miss Mariko," I stood at the edge of my reach, "could you please come out and say a few words?"
Mariko stared at me blankly for a while, then shook her head decisively...
Shaked his head...
It seems that the soft one is not enough, so the only option is the hard one.
We've been messing around here for so long, and the mysterious man who saved Mariko last time didn't show up, so it seems like he won't come this time.
I tried to take another step forward. Now that he says that, that person can't sit still and wait for death, can he?
At this time, only a loud bang was heard. A big hole appeared in response, and the top of the head became completely bright. Several familiar figures fell down, and I was dumbfounded.
"Zhongya? Sister Hongye?" When I said these two names, my voice was so low that only I could hear it.
Different from previous times, Chuuya did not greet me directly. Instead, he huddled in the sewage with a painful expression and hugged his right arm tightly. At the same time, the wounds on his back that could not be concealed were completely exposed to me.
The clothes around the wound were torn to pieces, bright red flesh protruded from the white skin, and blood was gurgling.
Although I was worried at this moment, I couldn't help but think of the injuries on Dazai and Kunikida.
Could it be possible that it was all done by one person? I said in my heart.
The condition of Momiji beside her was not much better. Her hairpins rolled up high were scattered, and she was kneeling down beside Chuuya, half dejectedly.
When she saw me, her eyes suddenly widened, a trace of desolation flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she murmured softly: "Ah, it's Kiriyuan. I'm very happy to meet you again... You look very good, much better than the Nu family."
After hearing this, Kunikida beside me stared at me with even sharper eyes.
But even though I knew I was being suspected again, my rational thinking still couldn't help but control me, forcing me to say the following words: "Do you need my help?"
"It must be necessary." Hongye narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Speaking of which, it is worth mentioning. During this brief conversation, Mariko in the corner was always slapping the water with her fish tail excitedly, as if she was expecting something.
But I didn't care that much. I just stepped forward and used my unique powers to heal the wounds of the two Mafia people.
The faint blue light bloomed in circles, and I once again witnessed the miracle of turning back time.
"Thanks, Siye..." Chuuya wanted to say something more, but he seemed to have stopped talking because he saw Kunikida and Tanizaki.
Stab, prick, prick—
The sound was harsh, like a metal knife scraping against the cement floor.
Chuuya and Momiji's faces turned pale in the blink of an eye. The former turned his head and opened his mouth mechanically like a puppet and said to me: "Si Ye, run!"
Although I didn't understand what was going on, seeing the two people who were the strongest in Mafia so panicked, I couldn't help but raise my hands and take a step or two back.
Kunikida frowned, wondering whether it was because of the special situation that he chose to believe Chuuya, or because he had a similar experience. I saw him picking up Kajii without hesitation and preparing to lead us out of the sewer.
But who would have thought that something unexpected happened just when we were preparing to evacuate.
Mariko, who was originally peaceful, suddenly went crazy at this moment. She flicked her blue fish tail desperately and created huge waves to prevent us from moving forward.
The huge wound left by Kajii still remained on her body. It had not healed and the violent activities caused blood droplets to spray out drop by drop, falling on us like a light rain.
"Is this mermaid crazy?!" Chuuya was disgusted and a little angry at the same time.
But because her attack was too intense, the five people who were awake at the scene could not get close.
Stab, prick, prick—
At the same time, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, it stopped above our heads.
A circular bright light flashed, and a circular hole was perfectly cut out of the concrete above his head.
A woman who looked like an assassin jumped down lightly, holding a long sword in her hand.
"Who?" I was frightened by her aura and asked subconsciously.
"Yoko," Chuuya replied, "She was the one who beat us like this."
(Yoko, the heroine in "The Scream" by Japanese mystery writer Ye Zhenchuan.)
"It was her who forced us to go back to the club to ask for your and Tanizaki's support." Kunikida's face lost all color.
He dropped the Kajii he was wearing on the ground, causing a splash of mud.
"Looks like we have to end things." Someone's voice echoed in the suffocating air.
