Chapter 197 White Mist Rises
Chapter 197 White Mist Rises
When the mysterious white fog quietly spread over the entire Yokohama, the members of the Armed Detective Agency were not surprised or frightened.
On the contrary, they felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here".
Although they could not match Mr. Ranpo's intelligence and talent, nor did they have Dazai's talent for manipulating people's hearts, they had already noticed some clues of Draco and his team's plans against the demons from their daily lives.
This wasn't enough to cause them to panic. All they had to do was follow Mr. Ranpo's instructions, and everything would be solved.
Although Dazai Osamu, Draco and Harry were nowhere to be seen, everyone knew what was going on when they observed that Edogawa Ranpo did not show any sign of worry.
Perhaps Dazai is enjoying a "joyful tea party" just as depicted in the anime.
As for Draco and Harry... after spending some time together, they knew very well that these two teenagers were not reckless people and had their reasons for doing things.
Draco, in particular, surprised them the most. He could communicate with Mr. Ranpo without any obstacles, and many of the plans were proposed by Draco.
In reality, the detective agency members had already conducted an in-depth analysis of the possible scenarios and developed corresponding response strategies. Faced with the current situation, they acted methodically according to their established plan without any panic.
The demon's real target was not them, but had shifted to Draco. Everything he had done before was just a test.
They entered the white fog, firstly to challenge themselves and engage in a fierce battle with the separated superpowers; secondly to prevent the superpower users from suffering too heavy losses.
Especially those people with special abilities who are hiding among ordinary people. They have not committed any faults and should not become victims of this war.
This time, Nakajima Atsushi actually volunteered. He wanted to meet Shibusawa Ryuhiko and make a complete end to this former enemy.
"Then Ranpo, I'll leave the detective agency to you." Fukuzawa Yukichi's face was serious, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
"Leave it to Lord Ranpo with peace of mind." Ranpo rarely narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was firm.
This is a perfect opportunity to put that book out there forever.
Now, it's up to you, Draco.
Although Ranpo is extremely intelligent, he does not have the overall situation in his grasp as others in the Armed Detective Agency think.
At least, he knew nothing about Draco and Harry's plans.
However, this did not prevent him from trusting them.
At this moment, Draco was walking alone in the white mist, while Harry was hiding in another place as a last resort.
Draco is not a person with special abilities, and his abilities are not within the scope of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's ability to strip away. So why did he fall into this foggy place?
Shibusawa Ryuhiko's special ability is called "Ryuhiko No Ma", which can cover the place where he is in thick fog, and the coverage area can even reach an entire large city.
In the foggy area, ordinary people will temporarily disappear until their supernatural powers are lifted.
As for those with special abilities, they will be separated from their special abilities.
These separated abilities will turn around and attack their masters.
If the psychic dies, Ryuhiko Shibusawa will have the opportunity to collect the crystallized psychic abilities.
However, as long as the crystals on the materialized superpower are shattered, the separated superpower can be restored.
Draco attached a part of his magic power to his body, faked the flow of superpowers, and then slightly concealed the waste world consciousness, and successfully appeared in the white fog as a superpower user.
However, when he stood in the white mist, he suddenly found that his magic seemed to be far away from him.
He looked around blankly, trying to find the huge lost magic power.
All of this was clearly displayed in front of the three people through surveillance, giving a wrong signal.
They looked at Draco's confused look and couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Oh~ Does Majin-kun have similar hobbies as Mr. Mori? Like to peek at young boys?" Dazai Osamu was wearing a white suit, with one side of his hair pinned behind his ear, which added a touch of elegance to him.
His voice was teasing, but his eyes were full of boredom and temptation.
Pure white gives people a sense of sacredness and inviolability, but at the same time it also makes people want to destroy it.
This contradictory feeling is vividly reflected in Dazai Osamu.
"Poor lost kid who doesn't understand what's going on." Shibusawa Ryuhiko looked at Draco on the screen expressionlessly, his voice so calm that no emotion could be heard.
His white hair was fluffy and shiny. If he hadn't known it long ago, Dazai Osamu would have had no idea that this was actually a dead person.
Anyone who could enter Long Yanjian must possess special abilities. This young man looked beautiful, slender, and fragile, as if a gentle pinch could strangle him.
For Ryuhiko Shibusawa, killing such a person was too easy, and it didn't even require much effort.
However, this child's appearance unexpectedly met Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's aesthetic standards... Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's fingers moved slightly, and his mind began to conceive ideas for designing clothes for this child...
"Don't you think this child is interesting? Maybe he will become the unique gem you are looking for." Fyodor said with a meaningful smile.
"Oh?" Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's gaze slowly focused on the screen in front of him, and his eyes inadvertently passed over Dazai Osamu.
Originally, there was no screen installed here, but the demon once expressed to Shibusawa Ryuhiko his wish to watch the process of gem birth, and thought that by observing he might be able to understand the formation mechanism of gems.
After all, who knows if there is a special gem among these gems?
Dazai Osamu's smile was flawless, as if he really didn't notice Shibusawa Ryuhiko's brief and hidden gaze.
"Damn! These two perverts actually have thoughts about my pure body!"
Alas, today is also a day when I miss slugs...
After walking for a long time, Draco felt a little bored, so he deliberately chose to sit down and rest in a place where he could be monitored, and secretly cast magic to attract the "superpower" that was running around.
Soon, Draco felt a familiar magical fluctuation.
A figure exactly like him, surrounded by a faint golden light, slowly walked out of the white mist.
'He' walked lightly to Draco, squatted down beside him, tilted his head and stared at Draco curiously.
"Hmm?" This scene really piqued Shibusawa Ryuhiko's curiosity. How could the mutant not attack its master?
Could it be that it had some special abilities or settings? Shibusawa Ryuhiko decided to observe it first.
Although Dazai Osamu looked a little surprised, he was very sure in his heart that Draco would be fine.
After all, Draco is a very smart and cautious person, and he has many secret weapons and methods.
This kid has a lot of cards up his sleeve, Dazai Osamu thought to himself.
Fyodor smiled meaningfully, making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.
Dazai Osamu glanced at him, not knowing what he was trying to do.
However, judging by Fyodor's expression, he seemed to be very interested in the interaction between Draco and the mutant.
At this moment, Draco was staring blankly at his own magic.
He saw the diamond-shaped gem on 'his' forehead and felt a strong curiosity in his heart.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch the gem, but at this moment, 'he' suddenly moved.
Draco quickly took a few steps to the side, looking at Draco with a look of grievance and accusation, as if to say: "What do you want to do? Why are you touching my gem?"
Draco tilted his head in confusion for a moment and then suddenly realized that the mutant had mistaken his action as an attack and thought he wanted to take back his superpowers.
"Oh, sorry." Draco apologized quickly. He was just curious.
'He' didn't want to attack Draco, but also wanted to protect the gem, so he had to move away to ensure that Draco couldn't reach him.
At the same time, he kept a vigilant eye on Draco in case he tried to steal the gem again.
"Do you still want to play outside for a while?" The mutant had no pupils and his eyes were pure white, so Draco could only guess based on some of his small movements.
Seeing the mutant nodding excitedly, he was sure that he had guessed correctly.
"Interesting! So interesting!" Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's eyes sparkled, his expression becoming slightly distorted as the corners of his mouth curled ever higher. "He must be the one-of-a-kind gem I've been searching for!"
His eyes were filled with obsession, full of determination. "I want him!" The golden figure grabbed all his attention.
"Don't worry, you will get it, Shibusawa-kun." Fyodor smiled meaningfully. He had already got the answer he wanted.
Dazai Osamu didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed a complex emotion.
Hooked.
The mutant seemed to feel Shibusawa Ryuhiko's fiery gaze, and it raised its head and looked in the direction of the surveillance camera.
Although it could not understand human emotions, it could feel that the black object with red glow made it uncomfortable.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko's heart was filled with longing and anticipation. He was fascinated by the uniqueness of this supernatural being.
He firmly believed that this was a rare treasure, one that could satisfy his endless desire for exploration.
"I will do everything I can to understand it and master its secrets." Shibusawa Ryuhiko muttered to himself, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Fyodor looked at Shibusawa Ryuhiko's reaction and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
Dazai Osamu observed everything silently, thinking about what might happen next.
Although Shibusawa Ryuhiko seems to be very interested in Draco and his superpowers, he will not let Dazai Osamu go.
So, he still had to be stabbed.
"I'm extremely afraid of pain..." Dazai Osamu's voice was barely audible.
The three people in front of the screen, each with their own thoughts, silently watched every move of the mutant and Draco.
-----------------------------------------
The Armed Detective Agency was empty at this time, with only Edogawa Ranpo sitting there, staring intently at the surveillance images on the computer screen.
These pictures show the scene in the white fog, while other members have already been given vacation.
Suddenly, a small picture frame popped up on the computer, showing Fitzgerald's figure.
"Edogawa-kun, is this all right?" It turned out that the group had left Yokohama long before the white fog spread, and they seemed to have mastered the Eye of God.
As agreed with Draco, they will cooperate with the Armed Detective Agency.
However, Fitzgerald couldn't help but wonder: Is this really enough? Doesn't the group need more help?
After all, Shibusawa Ryuhiko is a renowned figure, internationally known as a "collector" due to his unique abilities.
Edogawa Ranpo looked at the members firmly as they retracted their special powers, with a confident light in his eyes.
He replied, "Ah, that's fine. I trust Dazai and Draco."
Hearing this answer, Fitzgerald shrugged helplessly. He thought to himself, if it were him, he would definitely not make such a trivial request.
It's not even a request. The group is here to stir up trouble, and they also have the idea of investing in some Japanese industries.
After all, he is a businessman...
Draco and his mutant "Draco" wandered around in the white fog hand in hand. If they met some idiots who were about to be beaten to death by the mutant, they would help them.
Of course, the premise is that he is not a bad person.
As for how to distinguish them, it doesn’t matter. The information about Yokohama’s superpowers is not as thick as the history of Hogwarts.
Isn't this something you can remember after watching it once?
Although they were wandering aimlessly, they actually knew where they were going.
Where the skeleton is located is the direction they are heading.
Everything will end there.
"It looks like we're about to welcome a little guest." Shibusawa Ryuhiko was not so unaware that this was the place Draco was heading to.
"I'm really looking forward to it. Draco Malfoy." Fyodor looked at the platinum-colored figure on the screen, his eyes full of determination.
He already knew the function of Draco's supernatural power.
Healing, a very rare ability.
Draco walked around and finally saw the strange Gothic-style ruins.
The three of them had already seen Draco coming and were now sitting at the table waiting.
The light little leather shoes made a clattering sound, not hiding their traces at all.
The sound of footsteps approached from afar. "Hi, hello everyone."
Draco pushed open the door, smiled, and pulled the mutant to sit on the two extra chairs without any hesitation.
Shibusawa Ryuhiko stared at the mutant, and his burning gaze made the mutant feel a little uncomfortable, so it hid closer to Draco in a humane way.
Dazai Osamu was watching the fun with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
"Good evening." Fyodor was the first to break the deadlock, and there was some inexplicable meaning in the look he gave Draco.
"I've always wanted to meet you. Little Mr. Draco Malfoy."
