Chapter 9

The "enthusiastic and kind" people's teacher is deeply proud of having successfully dealt with the urban legend that threatened the safety of ordinary citizens, but the noise he made was still a little bit big.

The attack from the spell "Cang" not only shattered the woman in red in front of him, but also penetrated the building behind her. It can only be said that fortunately, although Yokohama is a lively port city, it is abandoned There are also many buildings in the world, and the building penetrated by Gojo Satoru happened to be one of them.

The abandoned and dark warehouse contained no traces of snakes, insects, rats, or ants, and there were no other living things inside.

"Fortunately, it didn't affect other people."

After lifting the "account", Miyako Eri checked the nearby buildings and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This commission issued by the leader of Port Mafia is full of unknown meanings, and I hope it will not affect anyone else.

As for Dazai Osamu who was affected...

just like Miyako Eri thought before, he was really unlucky.

"The contact information with Dr. Yosano..."

Miyako Eri took out her mobile phone from the bag hanging with her and found the contact information with Akiko Yosano.

Dazai Osamu's ears were greatly affected by the close contact with the aftermath of Gojo Satoru's spell. His hearing may be very bad these days. As for his head...

Miyako Eri raised her index finger and shook it in front of the opponent's eyes, " Can you see clearly?"

Osamu Dazai focused his eyes, following Miyako Eri's index finger, and smiled stupidly as if he had drunk fake wine, "Oh, Eri-chan... How do I feel..."

Although his mind was still buzzing, it didn't stop him from doing things.

"Eri-chan, you've grown up~"

he said, and even stretched out his hand to press on Miyako Eri's head to compare his height.

"Yes." Miyako Eri nodded calmly, not commenting on Dazai Osamu's emotion. She just lowered her head and looked for the contact information with Yosano Akiko in the address book.

"Yo Yosano, Yosano...ah, I found it."

I finally found the contact information for Yosano Akiko, but when I was about to call, I was stopped by Osamu Dazai.

"It's just a minor injury, so don't bother Dr. Yosano."

Dazai Osamu, who was very aware of Yosano Akiko's treatment methods, twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't want to know what if Yosano Akiko knew about his injury. The method will lead to how the other party treats you.

It's okay to be teased...

but Dr. Yosano's bold treatment methods...

please allow him to solemnly refuse!

"Why don't you check it carefully? After all, I don't know whether ordinary people will have any sequelae after being affected by the aftermath of Teacher Gojo's spell."

When I was in the Conjuring College, or in the Conjuring World At this time, even if Gojo Satoru's spell affects other people, they can be quickly and perfectly healed under the treatment of the inversion sorcerer of Kasui Glass.

"At times like this, I think it's really good to have Mr. Glass here."

She barely wiped away the blood dripping from Dazai Osamu's ears with a handkerchief, then wrapped some mucus on his cheek and looked at it carefully. .

"Is there any problem?"

Gojo Satoru walked behind her and looked over, "What is this?"

"Pollution."

Miyako Eri spoke concisely. She held the mucus sludge with her handkerchief and raised her hand to let Gojo Satoru See clearly.

"Pollution from water sources...the source of pollution has not yet appeared."

When encountering this kind of specialty that does not belong to this world, Miyako Eri has always been very reliable.

"We must find the source of the pollution and then remove it."

"That's right..." Gojo Satoru lowered his head and looked at Miyako Eri, who had grown taller but only reached his waist. "Then let's set the target for now. Find the source of the pollution."

"Isn't it faster to just ask the people involved in the incident?"

Although he was in silence, Dazai Osamu could understand the mouth movements of the two people. Although he still didn't know what "contamination" meant, his mind was spinning. He was no slower than the two of them. Even when he found out through clues in the intelligence that the order they took was related to the leader of Port Mafia Mori Ogai, Osamu Dazai was already thinking about dragging the other party into the water.

"After all, since Mr. Sen decided to entrust you to deal with this thing, he must have some understanding of it, right?"

He said this, facing the eyes of the two people with an empty smile.

"After all, Mr. Sen is a very cautious person."

He likes to nip all dangers before they begin.

In front of Miyako Eri and Gojo Satoru, he made no secret of his knowledge of the leader of the port maifa.

Just as Miyako Eri's keen intuition told her, this handsome young man who seemed frivolous was indeed an out-and-out gangster in the past.

"Mr. Dazai also wants to participate in our mission to clean up the pollution sources?"

As for how Dazai Osamu guessed that their safe person was Mori Ogai, the boss of Port Mafia, Miyako Eri did not get to the bottom of it. After all, Dazai Haru's tone clearly told the two of them that his relationship with Mori Ogai was not close.

Perhaps the two were enemies in the past.

However, in terms of positions, Dazai Osamu, who is currently in the armed detective agency, and the leader of the port mafia do have a hostile relationship.

"Me?" Dazai Osamu "heard" Miyako Eri's question through vision.

He pointed back at himself and laughed again, "I have no interest in being a hero behind the scenes."

As he said this, he looked behind Miyako Eri, who clearly showed a protective posture to Gojo Satoru. "After all, this is your responsibility, Eri-chan, isn't it?"

"I don't mind if Mr. Dazai is willing to help~"

Miyako Eri was not surprised by Dazai Osamu's refusal, but she just remembered that he picked him up from the Armed Detective Agency. Nakajima Atsushi couldn't help but added, "It's just that there is no reward~"

"Then I definitely won't do it."

Dazai Osamu waved his hand, refused Miyako Eri's support, and staggered towards the alley. He walked like a hard-working social animal who had drunk too much and was unsteady on his feet.

The tall and thin young man lowered his head to look at the bandage wrapped around the back of his hand, and sighed in distress, "This is a new bandage."

He murmured to himself, walked to the alley and couldn't help but look back. Two people.

The girl half-crouching in front of the mud didn't mind the disgusting mucus at all, and studied the source of the pollution seriously, while the white-haired young man standing behind her with his upper body half-bent, a look on his face. Dislike "looking" at the mud in front of him, as if aware of Dazai Osamu's gaze, he turned his head slightly, and his blood-red eyes looked at him through the sunglasses that he had not taken off even late at night.

Gojo Satoru put a hand on Miyako Eri's shoulder, and looked at Osamu Dazai from afar with no smile in his eyes.

Osamu Dazai seemed to see an evil dragon that put its claws on everything and silently declared its ownership to the world.

"Oh, this is really..."

I don’t know if I should sympathize with Eri-chan.

He thought so and couldn't help but murmured, "Or are you expecting a prince to rescue the beautiful princess from the dragon's imprisonment?"

He thought of Atsushi Nakajima for no reason, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued Shake his head.

Atsushi-kun can't do it, he's still too young.

"Eri-chan, be careful with men."

Gojo Satoru withdrew his eyes, lowered his head and looked at Miyako Eri, who was completely unaware of Dazai's gaze, and sighed for no reason.

"Teacher Gojo, which country have you wandered to again?"

————————

"So, it's a cursed spirit, but is it also 'pollution'?"

After receiving Gojo Satoru, it was Miyako Eri to be precise. After the mission report, Ogai Mori took out a thin mission report from the pile of documents at his hand and nodded.

Although he has no specific concept of related information such as "cursed spirits" and "pollution", Mori Ogai has actually been aware of the problem of urban legends for a long time.

Having organs taken away from the body does not mean that the person will definitely die. Even if some organs that do not affect survival needs are taken away, life can be saved through transplantation.

But Mori Ogai has also received reports that some strange changes have occurred among those who were lucky enough to survive.

Either there is mucus on the body that causes both physical and psychological discomfort like the woman in red, or the body is dry and has fish-like scales, the skin is cracked due to loss of moisture, and the blood that overflows becomes dark red. The fishy smell, the body temperature of the whole body dropped, and the eyes bulged. If I had to describe it...

they seemed to have gradually evolved into some kind of creature that needed to live in water all the time to survive.

The mucus on the body is used to keep it moist and insulated from the air.

"I see, is it like in a ghost novel, turned into a 'fish'?"

"Gojo-kun, as you said, this commission seems to need to continue."

He folded his hands to cover the lower half of his face. Mori Ogai's entire figure seemed to be hidden in the shadows. The only thing that could be seen clearly were the unfriendly and oppressive purple-red eyes.

"No matter what I say later, in short, I have indeed completed the commission to solve the urban legend."

Gojo Satoru is not that concerned about Mori Ogai's ideas, or whether the other party will make a more in-depth commission . There is no persistence in the investigation. Anyway, he and Miyako Eri will continue to trace the source of the pollution.

This is related to whether he can go home in the future.

"Indeed, the task of solving urban legends has been completed beautifully. Thanks to you, Port Mafia's recently stagnant business has finally recovered... But what about the problem of this pollution source..."

"If Sen. If the leader is not worried about the impact of the spread, he can just sit back and watch, but we will continue to investigate." The person who spoke was Miyako Eri, who had straightened up after dealing with the woman in red. Completely frozen into the appearance of a teenage girl, it was obviously beyond Mori Ogai's defensive range.

Therefore, when the other party faced her, he was not as enthusiastic as when they first met.

"Well...according to the port mafia's position, I personally tend to pursue maximizing profits."

He said this, holding up a document at hand, "If this pollution source spreads again, it will definitely affect the situation. It’s easy to restore business, after all, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.”

“Port Maifa can provide the two of you with maximum convenience. For

example, the information currently available on my side may not be enough for the two of you. We can guess the location of the pollution source, but if there are other places that can provide more information than the Port Mafia..."

"Is this the end?" Miyako Eri said as she followed Gojo Satoru out of the Port Mafia headquarters building. She was a little surprised. She thought that with a character like Gojo Satoru, he would not let the other party go so easily after knowing that Port Mafia had concealed information related to the commission. However, she did not expect that he would end both parties so peacefully. of commission.

"What are you thinking about, Eri-chan?" Hearing Miyako Eri's question, Gojo Satoru laughed and stretched out his hand to rub the long white hair that still looked soft.

"Teacher is not so good-tempered that he can be rounded and squashed by others."

"This is just interest."

"After this matter is over, the guy upstairs needs to spit it out with interest.

" As he said, the information Ogai had was indeed not much, and it was not very helpful to the two of them.

Although Miyako Eri's eyes can see the "truth", it also needs to have a certain range or a specific tangible object. She cannot be like a probe that can sense the "truth" as long as there is a target.

In the absence of sufficient information, they quickly came up with a solution.

"So, professional things should be done by professionals, right?"

Standing at the door of the Armed Detective Agency again, Gojo Satoru took the initiative to knock on the door.

"Here - hello... ah, are you Mr. Gojo and... Eri-chan?" The

one who answered the door was Mr. Bai Hu, the newest member of the Armed Detective Agency. Atsushi Nakajima trotted along and opened the door for them. Afterwards, Miyako Eri looked at the girl's figure for a long time before she asked uncertainly.

"It's me, long time no see, Atsushi."

Miyako Eri responded calmly as if she didn't see the question on Nakajima Atsushi's face.

"Speaking of which, is the 'detective' here today?"

Just by the name, you can tell that the Armed Detective Agency is a firm with strong martial ethics. It is different from the large and small detective agencies on the market. Just the two words "armed" in the name The words are already quite interesting.

Of course, in addition to being "armed", an armed detective agency also needs "detectives".

The only detective in the agency who is also world-famous is Edogawa Ranpo.

As the world's best detective, Edogawa Ranpo's mind is worthy of the name of genius. Of course, he also has unique genius quirks, such as being able to eat sweets to the point of tooth decay even at a very young age. To deal with dental caries in the clinic, for example, he is not interested in normal unsolved cases, but prefers to challenge difficult and complicated cases...

And today, unfortunately, this detective who usually travels across the country to solve mysterious cases ... The core of the community is not here.

The only ones who accepted the commission were Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi, a new member of the Armed Detective Agency.

I don’t know where Dazai Osamu went recently. He was supposed to be responsible for teaching Nakajima Atsushi, but he didn’t expect that the person who should be responsible didn’t know where he was. He was the only one who took the initiative to take over his responsibility and was responsible for teaching him. Teach Nakajima Atsushi.

Although I don’t know why Miyako Eri grew up into a young girl in just one month from the girl she first met, but this has nothing to do with Gojo Satoru’s commission.

Kunikida Doppo was able to suppress his curiosity and listened carefully to Gojo Satoru's first commission.

"Well, we actually have some relevant information on hand, but it is not complete enough, so I will make a summary here, and then make assumptions based on the documents we obtained... Well, of course, this is just me and Mr. Gojo This is my opinion. If you have any other relevant information or have found the source of the pollution, please contact me."

Although the source of the pollution came out of Miyako Eri's mouth, it still sounded like a ridiculous and weird thing. The novel, the urban legend of the woman in red, and the threat of wanting your skin are even weirder than the commissions related to people with supernatural powers.

However, the commission fee was quite generous, and at the same time, it only required the Armed Detective Agency to "investigate the source" rather than "solve the source." This kind of relevant information only requires the participation of Miyazawa Kenji or Tanizaki Junichiro. According to their connections, the latest clues may be given soon.

But the problem lies behind. If they find the source of the pollution, even if Miyako Eri says they can just report it, it will affect the safety of ordinary citizens of Yokohama. How can they stand idly by and remain indifferent?
