Where's my childhood sweetheart?

Following the position of Kushina Anna, a group of people rushed towards Ayou's position.Finally, by a remote river, they saw Ayou's figure.

At this moment, there is this person beside her.

Edogawa Ranpo recognized this person at a glance.

——Natsume Soseki.

They were having a conversation, as if they hadn't seen the arrival of a few people at all, [Ayou] still stared at the very gentleman-looking old man in front of him with a half-smile.

"After all, she has nothing to do with you."

The Liudaoku who possessed Ayou was merciless in his words.

"If you really wake up, you should know that you have nothing to do with her. What is your relationship with her? Guilt? Stop joking."

Obviously it seems to be the weaker side, but it has a condescending meaning, and it is not inferior to Natsume Soseki in terms of momentum.

"In the end, don't you just want to let others follow your wishes, and you just want to control other people's lives?"

There was a sarcastic look on her face.

"It really disgusts me."

Natsume Soseki, who was ridiculed in this way, was not angry. The wind swept over his clothes, adding a certain indescribable solemnity to him. He stood straight in front of [Ayou] with a firm voice.

"The reason why people are connected is not just because of blood relationship. Whether it is money exchange or social accident or something, it can make people who have nothing to do with each other get acquainted."

"But—feelings are also the most important thing."

"It's not that I want to control her life, nor is it that I want to block her wishes. I just want her to be healthy as an elder."

Saying that, Natsume Soseki sighed.

"Actually, if I hadn't seen Xiaoyou being possessed by you, I wouldn't be here."

He had made his choice before.

The boundary between life and death can't be judged by anyone except himself, and he also knows that she is clearly aware of what he is doing.

and so……

"Only her own answer is the answer. I don't want to see you do anything with Xiaoyou's body."

"What kufufu said is really nice."

That's what I said today, but [Ayu]'s eyes did shift from Natsume Soseki to the group of people who just arrived here.

"You came here pretty fast."

She recklessly looked at the few people approaching, without any intention of leaving.

"Why, do you also want to try to control her life?"

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared in front of 【Ayou】with a red light shining on his body, and his voice was full of suppressed anger.

"You bastard! Get out of Ayou's body!"

"It's really inexplicably righteous."

[Ayou], who was stared at by cold eyes, didn't mean to be afraid at all, he just tilted his head, as if extremely puzzled.

However, there was sarcasm in the eyes that had changed color at this moment.

"What right do you have to say that to me? You know, this is my contractor, no matter what I do with her body, it's only natural."

At this moment, she seemed to reveal a message from top to bottom.

Have you seen this little contractor?I won't give it to you even if I throw it into the river.jpg

"you!!!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also clenched his fists, but he couldn't move.

This is Ayou's body, he can only attack physically, he can't do anything at all.

"You are...the Italian illusionist Rokudo Mukuro."

After Edogawa Ranpo exchanged a few words with Kushina Anna in a low voice, he took a step forward and confirmed the identity of Rokudo Mukuro.

"how?"

【Ayou】 glanced at Edogawa Ranpo.

"Does the famous Yokohama detective have anything to say?"

"Contractor, you made a contract with the shopkeeper? Did the shopkeeper really learn the illusion from you? But..."

Edogawa Ranpo frowned and muttered softly.

"If there is death as a condition, it is normal for the small shopkeeper to agree."

"Anyway, even if this is the case, something must have happened to you."

Edogawa Ranpo's voice increased.

"The current situation is no longer a question of whether the small shopkeeper wants to die. Since you have a so-called 'contract' with the small shopkeeper, then you should be able to feel it."

Although it was the first time I saw this person, according to the rumors and what he analyzed now...

"According to what I know about you, you would have done it long ago."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes opened, and the blue light flashed away in his eyes.

He vowed to expose Liu Dao Mu's purpose.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be waiting here for us on purpose. You must need some of our strength."

"Clap clap-"

Sporadic applause rang out, [Ayou] had an inexplicable smile on his face, and looked at Edogawa Ranpo with some 'approval' in his eyes.

"It seems that the reputation is really well-deserved, but..."

【Ayou】smiled brightly, and she took a slight step back.

"How do you know that I am here is what you think?"

At this time, she was already standing on the edge of the river bank, only a short distance away from the river behind her, and even a trident appeared in her hand, and the sharp end just touched her neck mercilessly superior.

There was some kind of malice in her eyes, and her voice was soft and ambiguous, like a whisper.

——yet he said the most dangerous words.

"kufufu~ Now, do you still think so?"

"you!!!"

Nakahara Chuya was about to go berserk, but Yosano Akiko stopped him and motioned him to calmly watch the chaos.

"I believe you."

It was Anna Kushina who spoke, her hands were clearly still grabbing the corner of her skirt, but her gaze was extremely serious.

"Because you also saw some, so you don't want that kind of thing to happen, so..."

Kushina Anna took a deep breath, with prayers in her eyes.

"Please help us."

"Can I help you?"

[Ayou] Repeatedly, the emotions in his eyes have changed several times.

"Why should I help you?"

Kushina Anna looked determined, and once again said the words of request.

"please!"

"kufufu...kufufu...kufufuufu..."

[Ayou] Covering one eye, she smiled wantonly and arrogantly, and even bent over.After a while, as if he had laughed enough, he looked at the opposite side again.

"Okay."

He changed his words, and the smile on his face became extremely nasty.

"As long as you can see."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind a tree on one side.

"In that case, can you take me with you?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a sand-colored windbreaker walking out calmly with a smile.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also shocked.

"Dazai why are you here???"

Shouldn't he be instructing the superhumans to find the virus?

He subconsciously took out his pocket, and as expected, he took out a bug from his pocket.

Dog Dazai when did he put it in! ! !

"Oh, that kind of thing is of course not important."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head and waved his hands.

"I never said I wanted to 'save' Ayou, after all, we are going to die together~"

As he spoke, he looked at [Ayou] with a smile.

"Of course, if you are possessed by this unspeakable 'unknown creature', of course you have to find her and die together."

Six Paths Unknown Creature Mukuro pulled the corner of his mouth down.

"You thought I'd take you with me?"

"Coincidentally, I didn't think about you at all."

Osamu Dazai blinked, and then came to the side of Anna Kushina, his expression instantly became serious.

"This is my request, and Miss Anna can take me with her."

As he spoke, he blinked.

"Believe me, I will definitely be more useful than that little guy in Chuya."

Chuya Nakahara, who was dissed inexplicably: Osamu Dazai, die!

"I……"

Anna Kushina hesitated. She looked down at the red glass bead in her hand as if she was observing something. After three seconds, she nodded and agreed to Osamu Dazai's request.

"it is good."

She pursed her lips, as if she had made a big decision.

"The person she worries about the most is you."

In this way, what can be found now, the person I like the most plus the person who is most worried, should be fine.

While watching Osamu Dazai and Anna Kusina reach a consensus, Rokudo Mukuro sneered.

"I hope you won't regret it."

Those memories, although there is nothing too dark (in the eyes of Liu Dao Mu), but they make people despair just by looking at them.

Different from his Six Realms of Samsara, it was a long and deep despair built up by time.

"So--"

【Ayou】Laughs lightly.

"Let's get started."

The handle of the trident in her hand became longer, and soon it became a long weapon. She clenched the middle part tightly, and then punched it towards the ground.

It should be a weapon formed by illusion, but at the moment of falling, the sound of the metal touching the stone slab was clearly heard by everyone, and an indigo mist began to float around.

Anna Kushina raised her hand knowingly, and the red glass beads acted as a bridge to quickly connect.

The fog gradually deepened, and soon it became impossible to see five fingers clearly. It didn't take long for people to wait, and the dense fog suddenly dispersed in just a dozen seconds.

What appeared in front of everyone was darkness, but in this emptiness, there was an old door not far away, on which was blocked a chain that seemed to have been corroded by time and was already crumbling.

The first to react was Anna Kushina. She had been to a similar place before. Although it was only to wake up Ayou who was forced to sleep, there is no doubt that this is also Ayou's consciousness space.

"The door...was not opened."

Kushina finally showed a little smile on Anna Kushina's face after a day of tension.

"Great……"

As long as it's not opened, it's fine.

"This is...Ayou's heart?"

Zhongyuan also looked at the dark place where only the door had a little light, a little unbelievable.

"Is everyone like this in their hearts?"

Obviously, he has always been such a warm person, but at this moment, all he can see in the Central Plains is the boundless darkness, empty and lonely, even if he stares into the depths of the darkness, it will make people feel breathless for no reason.

Edogawa Ranpo, who had never been in contact with the heart, soul, and consciousness, made a sharp judgment at this moment.

"Obviously, small shopkeepers are special. As for the reason..."

His gaze turned to the ancient gate.

"It's because of this, what is sealed in this door."
