I just want a normal life without powers

After the time loop was lifted, Yosano Akiko and Edogawa Ranpo separated from the others and went home to catch up on sleep.

Sato Chinatsu and Dazai Osamu followed Sakaguchi Ango, who didn't need to sleep, to the library where the Supernatural Secret Service was located.

Osamu Dazai didn't want to disturb Odasaku in the middle of the night, so he didn't go home. He naturally occupied Ango's desk and fell asleep lying on it.

Sakaguchi Ango sighed helplessly, casually put a coat on Osamu Dazai, and brought Sato Chinatsu to the filing cabinet and sat down.

"Huinaguo's death is very likely related to your ability. Now I need to know the specific situation of your ability, Ms. Sato, and find out the reason why your ability is out of control." Anwu took out a pen and paper from the cabinet next to him, "According to my observation, during the three months you have been working, the number of time loops formed by your supernatural powers has become more and more uncontrollable. Have you noticed it yourself?"

"Yes, since I passed my 17th birthday, I have passively triggered more powers every month than before." Sato Chika nodded.

Ango Sakaguchi paused for a moment, as if considering his words. "May I ask, on the morning of your parents' death, you passed out and were sent to the hospital at the opening ceremony of junior high school. Was it caused by excessive use of abilities?"

"Well, I wanted to save my parents, so I kept committing suicide and went back in time, then I was exhausted and sent to the hospital. At that time, I had just awakened the ability, and I was not very proficient in using it." Sato Chika said calmly.

"Then you should be right. The out of control of your abilities over the years is likely to be due to overuse of the abilities when you first awakened them, resulting in unstable abilities. Therefore, the abilities will be triggered uncontrollably and passively to form a time loop. .As for why the number of times your powers have gone out of control in the past year has suddenly increased..." Anwu took a file bag from the cabinet next to him.

"I think there is something you need to know." Ango Sakaguchi handed the portfolio to Chinatsu Sato.

"Since I found out about the existence of your abilities, I have investigated a lot of things related to you and the values ​​of the abilities that have appeared near you. Do you still remember the strange story about the abandoned tunnel on the mountain near your house? It is said that as long as someone If you enter that tunnel at night, you will never be able to get out again. The exit of the tunnel will become the entrance, and those who enter the tunnel will linger in the tunnel until they die. This happened for real. The police found three people at the entrance of the tunnel. After that, they notified the Ability Secret Service Section to deal with it. But when the Ability Secret Service Section went to solve it, they found that the whole tunnel was normal. After learning about this incident, I went to At the scene, the picture read by the ability is very blurry, and only a strange snake with its head and tail can be vaguely seen."

Sato Chika took over the file and flipped through it. On the first page of the file was a sketch of a strange snake wrapped in a character horoscope with its head and tail connected.

"It's this guy. Before I awaken my power, I often see strange things that ordinary people can't see. I have encountered this strange snake before, and I am quite impressed... Don't ask me what I have experienced, anyway, it It’s just a prankster. It usually likes to live under my bed, so I can’t get out of the bedroom door at night, and I don’t dare to drink more water at night when it’s there.” Sato Qianxia saw the sketch of this strange snake , his complexion was a bit ugly.

"I only awakened the power after I set fire to my house and burned to death, and I couldn't see those strange things after awakening the power. Could it be that the reason why I awakened the power is related to this strange snake?"

"I'm not sure about this... But what is certain is that the time when the cyclic tunnel ability value disappears is the same as the time when you passed out and entered the hospital." Anwu adjusted his glasses, "The reason why I told you this is that I hope you have Mentally prepared, you once said that every time you go back in time, Hui Naiguo's death method will change, right? So Miss Sato, have you ever met the murderer?"

Sato Chika frowned: "No, every death of Eunaku is an accidental death."

"If I'm not wrong, the cause of Hui Naiguo's death should not be that simple. The murderer is most likely not a human being. It can change reality based on the information you know. The time loop is caused by the out-of-control ability. At first, it may be that you just awakened The ability is unstable due to excessive wear and tear. However, the number of out-of-control has suddenly increased in the past year. There should be 'someone' who is creating accidents and triggering the time loop. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that all accidental deaths in Yokohama It happens around you, and the closer you are, the more likely it is to be in danger. Its power is getting stronger and stronger. Your birthday may be a node, and it has the ability to continuously create accidents. That thing should be thinking Use Hui Naiguo's death to force you to commit suicide and go back in time until you completely collapse."

Ango Sakaguchi looked at Chinatsu Sato very seriously: "So although Dr. Yosano is with you, but unless it is absolutely necessary, Miss Sato, please don't commit suicide easily and go back in time."

"Okay." Sato Chika readily agreed, but only she would know if she could do it or not.

Soon it was the day before Sato Chika's birthday.

In the evening, Huinaguo and Ayao knocked on the door of Qianxia's house with gifts.

"Good evening, Ayao and I have agreed to stay overnight at Xia Xia's house today. We will spend your birthday with you~" Hui Naiguo affectionately hugged Qian Xia who came to open the door.

"Hmm... Guoguo, it's alright, it's alright, let go, I'm about to suffocate." Qianxia once again positively felt Huinaguo's well-developed figure.

"Xia Xia, did you invite other guests?" A Yao changed her shoes and entered the room, and saw the four Ango Sakaguchi sitting in the living room.

"Well, yes, they are all regular employees of the library where I work, and they are all my seniors. They usually take good care of me at work. They all came over when they learned that it is my birthday today." Sato Chika said to Huinago He A Yao introduced in turn, "This is Mr. Edogawa Ranpo, Mr. Sakaguchi Ango, Miss Yosano and... Mr. Dazai."

"Hello, Xia Xia has been taken care of by you. I am my wife Huinaguo, she is Haruka Inoue, and we are all Xiaxia's friends." Huinaguo greeted the four sitting on the sofa.

"Don't be restrained, just sit down, seniors are very nice." Sato Chika pulled Huinaguo to the kitchen, "Guoguo, come and help me prepare dinner."

The clock struck twelve at midnight.

"Happy birthday~" everyone blessed in unison.

"Come here, little birthday boy, hurry up and blow out the candles." Huinaguo pulled Sato Chinatsu to the candle-filled cake.

"Huh? Xia Xia, why are your hands so cold? You're sweating so much... Is there something wrong with your body?"

"It's okay, I'm weak, and my hands and feet tend to get cold in the middle of the night. Don't worry about the normal phenomenon." Sato Chinatsu smiled reluctantly at Er Nao Guo, and then stood in front of the cake to make a wish and blow out the candles.

'I hope everything goes well and Hui Naiguo can survive safely. After making a wish, Chinatsu Sato blew out the candle in one breath.

"Haruka handed me the knife on the coffee table. I'm going to cut the cake." Huinauo and Haruka were preparing to cut the cake at the table, while Yasugo Sakaguchi and Ranbu Edogawa stood next to them to help pull out the candles.It was obviously a very lively scene, but Sato Chika only felt chills.

With Yosano Akiko and Dazai Osamu disappeared.

"Mr. Ranpo, Mr. Ango, have you noticed when Dr. Yosano and Dazai disappeared?" Sato Chika asked.

"With Dr. Yosano and Dazai? Ms. Sato, did you invite others? It's not appropriate to invite others under the circumstances." Sakaguchi Ango looked at Sato Chinatsu with some doubts.

"Mr. Ango, stop joking. You went to the Armed Detective Agency to invite Dr. Yosano and Mr. Ranpo to help me, and Dazai..." Sato Chika's voice trembled, "I'm not kidding, I really don't I met Dr. Yosano and Dazai. I went to the Armed Detective Agency and only invited Ranpo-san." Sakaguchi Ango looked serious.

Ranpo Edogawa, who was eating cake next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, he took the pillow that Osamu Dazai had leaned on on the sofa and handed it to Ango Sakaguchi. "Use the ability on this pillow, and then you should understand what Qian Xia is talking about."

"Although I don't remember Dr. Yosano and Dazai, I can still deduce that they existed based on some things at the scene."

Edogawa Ranpo wasn't too worried about the disappearance of the two people, "You don't need to be too nervous, Qianxia. Although I don't know where they are now, they must be together. Maybe they will appear after this incident is resolved. .”

After speaking, Edogawa Ranpo casually poured the juice into the trash can with candles, and then moved the cake-cutting knife in front of Enoka to his side.

"It turned out to be this kind of accidental death... that's it? Although I don't know what is causing the ghost, it is obvious that it cannot kill people out of thin air. It seems that this thing must follow the Basic Law." Edogawa Ranpo dug another piece Putting the cake into his mouth, "Don't worry, with Ranpo-sama around, it's impossible for it to succeed, I'll keep an eye on it. But Qianxia, ​​I have some bad news to tell you..." Edogawa Luanbu paused for a moment, "The number of dead has increased. Both Miss Huinaiguo and that Miss Inoue Haruka are in danger of death now."

--------------------------

After 'Sato Chinatsu' blows out the candle with Yosano Akiko, Osamu Dazai grabbed her arm and dragged her away from 'Sato Chinatsu'.

'Sato Chinatsu' didn't pay attention to the actions of the two of them, she picked up the match on the table, lit it and threw it into the trash can, then picked up the table knife on the table, and stabbed it into Huinaguo's neck.

Yosano Akiko's eyes widened in disbelief, and she wanted to rush over to stop him but was held back by Dazai, who could only watch helplessly as the table knife plunged into Hui Naiguo's neck.

It was actually 'Sato Chika' herself who killed Hui Nao Guo?

Yosano Akiko didn't have time to think about it, and used the ability [please don't die] on Huinaguo at the moment the table knife was pulled out.

……

However, she was dragged by Dazai, and the ability was not used successfully.

Yosano Akiko stared at Dazai with a distorted expression.

"Wait, wait, don't be angry with Dr. Yosano, tell me first you saw 'Sato Chinatsu'?" Osamu Dazai said hastily.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't Sato Chika? Mr. Dazai, why did you stop me from using my ability... No, Chika's clothes have changed." Yosano Akiko suddenly noticed the discrepancy, "When did Chika change into Yokohama?" Junior high school uniform?"

"It's not just like that..." Dazai Osamu smiled a little forcedly, "In my eyes, that 'Sato Chinatsu' doesn't even look like a human being at all, it's just a strange snake with Miss Sato's face on it, head to tail ...this thing is disgusting, it's visual pollution."

"What's going on?" Yosano Akiko frowned, not understanding what Dazai Osamu was talking about, she looked at Edogawa Ranpo standing in front of her.

"Mr. Ranpo..."

Edogawa Ranpo didn't even notice that Yosano Akiko was calling him, he poured the juice in his hand into the burning trash can, and pulled the knife out of Enoka's neck.

After Edogawa Ranpo finished these actions, the scene in front of Yosano Akiko suddenly began to distort, and it changed back to the appearance of 'Sato Chinatsu' who had just blown out the candles.

The only difference from just now is that 'Sato Chika' who was wearing a junior high school uniform is now stomping her feet angrily.

"Don't bother, we shouldn't be in the same space as them now, Mr. Ranpo and Ango can't see us at all, and can't hear us." Dazai pointed to the somewhat distraught 'Sato Chinatsu', "You just now I also saw that that thing can affect some items in reality. It should be the murderer who caused Huinaguo's death. With Mr. Ranpo, it should not be able to do anything except incompetent and furious. If we want to go out from here, It is estimated that we need to find a way to kill this low-energy monster first..."

The author has something to say:

The Ouroboros settings are used.

Ouroboros (Ouroboros)

Symbols common in religion and mythology, also used in alchemy.

It has the meaning of "infinity" and "circulation"

In Chesterton's "The Everlasting Man", ouroboros is used as the symbol of "the law of circulation", which is the representative of "self-destruction" in pantheism and mysticism.

————————————————————

When Qian Xia first awakened her power, she happened to bump into the ouroboros snake lying under her bed, and when Qian Xia's power went back in time, she swallowed the unlucky snake directly.

The more times Qian Xia's ability went out of control, the more the Ouroboros consciousness in the ability began to wake up.It was not reconciled to being trapped in Qianxia's ability, so it began to use its ability to affect things in reality, killing people around Qianxia to trigger the time loop.Its purpose is to make China go through more time loops, but Qian Xia's Iron Heart has no fear at all.

At the juncture of Qianxia's birthday, Ouroboros's ability has been enhanced, so it simply targets Huinao and kills it, in order to force Qianxia to commit suicide continuously and go back in time to make her completely collapse.When Qian Xia is completely insane, it can occupy Qian Xia's body and come out of her power.

————————————————————————————————————

I'm sorry that I'm too weak, I still feel like it's not well written after several revisions, so I can only frantically write and patch it.

One more chapter to take care of this

Yosano and Dazai are now in the gap between the formation of Qianxia's ability, and it is also the place where Ouroboros has always been. They are accidentally dragged in by Ouroboros. The ability of Ouroboros is mental cognitive interference + small causal law , can be regarded as a weakened version of [Book], which can only achieve the purpose of killing someone by interfering with some real objects.

But with Ranpo and Dazai around, it's over
