=============================

The gunshots they heard before were not far away. When they circled the residential area, what they saw was a suburban grove near the coastline.

There is still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and there are spent bullet casings on the ground.The shell casings were lukewarm, and the owners of the guns hadn't been out of here for long.

"Where did that man go...!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned tightly, his eyes swept the ground every inch, and found a footprint that was not obvious in the night.

He ran in that direction, and after Uesugi Le picked up the bullet casings, he followed him.

There was a familiar smell on the shell case that had been placed next to him, and the slightly warm temperature was very similar to the temperature of the man's palm.The lucky number decreased again and became 【12】.

He really had a fate with him tonight.

"Mr. Akutagawa, this way."

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke was blocked by a dead end in the dense forest, Uesugi Raku pushed aside the deliberately hidden low tree branches, and walked along the path stained with blood.

I don't know what happened, but the blood is not from that man, I can be sure of that.

The strong wind whipped the branches and leaves rustling. When I looked up, the shadows of the branches and leaves that the moonlight could not penetrate were like the tentacles of black strange things, spreading across the entire sky, bringing a sticky and heavy sense of oppression.The figure of the blue-haired boy loomed as if being swallowed by the jungle, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa followed behind him, gradually feeling a certain sense of difficulty.

At the beginning, consciousness began to become hazy, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke became distracted uncontrollably, unable to concentrate.The connection between the body and the consciousness seemed to be broken at any moment, as if the kite was blown by the strong wind, the thread connecting the body and the consciousness was tightened to a dangerous degree.

Something was wrong, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa couldn't tell what was wrong.

He seems to be unable to keep up, is his body still recovering?Or some kind of strange change happened to him, which affected his consciousness?

"... Uesugi."

Even the sound of calling seems to be so small that it doesn't make a sound. Is he really making a sound?

The wind became louder and louder, the air became humid, and it felt as if there were some water droplets falling on the skin on the cheek, which was extremely cold.

...Uesugi Raku sighed, and returned to Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

He caught Akutagawa Ryunosuke's uncontrollably fallen body, and used his thumb and forefinger to prop open the lid of his left eye, which was about to close. In the reflection of his dilated pupils, he saw the existence of stretching his body in the air.

There is a strange black crest inexplicably imprinted on Akutagawa Ryunosuke's neck, which was a brand that appeared suddenly just now.

"This is my prey, don't take it casually - although you are the local basilisks, but soon, this place will become my territory."

His palm caressed the rumored brand on his neck, and the black mist slowly ate it away.

Even if Ryunosuke Akutagawa is like this, the situation of those who escaped may be more dangerous.Although I don't know how humans resist the influence of [it]'s will, judging from the bullet casings I picked up just now, there should have been a battle.

The strong breath of despair was swallowed up, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke also regained his sobriety.

"What happened just now?" He was sensitive to what was wrong, "I don't remember what happened just now, it seems strange!"

"It's the enemy's attack, so you can understand it this way." Uesugi Le said, "Let's go, the person you are looking for may be in front."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke guessed that it was probably because Uesugi Raku's ability was biased towards healing, so his strange state of consciousness just now could also be awakened.Combined with words like "enemy", he roughly understood the situation.

In other words, the gunshots they heard before, as well as the traces they are currently tracking, are likely to be related to it.

The two continued to move forward, this time no longer affected by the strange situation just now.But the raindrops began to fall, and from the sparse water droplets in the first few seconds, it quickly turned into a heavy rain.

The rain made the eyes almost become hazy white.

Neither of them had an umbrella, so naturally they were drenched by the rain in less than a few minutes.But this is not a big deal for them. Although the traces of tracking were washed away by the rain, Uesugi Le has found the person he was looking for.

However, besides that man, there was another black-haired man standing there that he had seen before.

It was a somewhat distorted space on the sea water near the shore. Countless chains connected upwards, forming several towering stairs that spiraled up to the sky.The stairs joined together at the apex, so far away that it was almost impossible to see.The shadows of swaying branches that Akutagawa Ryunosuke saw in the woods before, I am afraid that many of them are actually chains and stairs in the air.

"It really is that man!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared closely at the black-haired man, "He is the chief culprit who separated me from my sister, and I want to find him!"

"Well, I'll be with you."

Hidden in the darkness and the showers, the waves were rough, and the blue light of the moonlight could not be seen as clearly in the cloudy weather as in the clear weather.But the sea is a place where Uesugi Raku is very comfortable. He motioned to Akutagawa Ryunosuke to hold his hand, and the two followed the beach and the waves of the coastline to step up the chained stairs.

A boundless black mist spread over the sea at this moment, covering the entire sea area.

The tall figure is faintly visible, standing on the edge of the sea where the horizon meets the sky, blending into the night and the rainstorm.

……

Have you heard such a rumor?

Heck, have you heard that?

that--

The rumor of "Breakdown Staircase".

……

"Mr. Dazai, are you alright?"

The man named Osamu Dazai, who has become the quasi-leader of the port mafia at a young age, is not in a good condition at the moment.During the attack and resistance, his body was left with deep wounds overflowing with blood.

"This kind of thing doesn't need to worry about low-level staff like you, Odasaku... Oda-san."

Only 18 years old, between a teenager and a young man, Osamu Dazai is much younger than Sakunosuke Oda.

But Oda Sakunosuke will not underestimate him, after all, this is his boss.

As for how the current situation happened...

It was about a few hours ago. Oda Sakunosuke completed another mission and met Osamu Dazai who came to inspect by chance.

He didn't know Osamu Dazai, nor was he familiar with Osamu Dazai.It's just that Oda Sakunosuke will be aware of Dazai Osamu's inconspicuous gaze on him.

It seemed to be the gaze of a very familiar person, but Oda Sakunosuke was sure that he had never had any contact with this person—except for the fact that he knew at work that this person would become the post-port mafia leader, his immediate boss.

Everyone else left, and coincidentally, only the two of them remained in place.Probably out of the psychology of explaining something, Dazai Osamu said to him inexplicably: "Don't think too much, I have no intention of getting to know you. If we are friends... no, it's still like me It's better for people to break up."

Osamu Dazai said that to him inexplicably.

At the next moment, the chains that suddenly appeared twisted their bodies like a living creature, and attacked Dazai Osamu with the sound of metal clashing.

...In the end, the two escaped to the seaside together, and were finally forced to be locked in a chained staircase.

No, to be precise, it was Oda Sakunosuke who was thinking for some reason and rushed up the stairs with Osamu Dazai who was held by chains.

Clinking, in the sound of metal colliding, Oda Sakunosuke felt something.

He lowered his head in the sky and looked down. In the chained space that cut off the rain from the outside world, he met the blue-haired boy who had met yesterday.

The boy was drenched like yesterday, and at the moment they looked at each other, he showed him a happy smile that appeared only because of seeing him.
