After the failure of the strongest unrequited love, I decided to cut the love and testify

In a small and simple reception room, Osamu Dazai was leaning comfortably on the sofa, holding a teacup, casually looking sideways at the scene outside the window.

Due to the influence of the two colleges, most of the conjurers live in Tokyo and Kyoto, and Yokohama, where people with supernatural abilities are entrenched, has never been in contact with each other, and there has never been too close communication.

The reason is also very simple, these two groups are not all the same.

The task of the conjurer is to exorcise the curse spirits that threaten human beings, and the opponents of the supernatural beings are the various forces that they build and build with each other.Because of this, magicians and supernatural beings have completely different systems and concepts, and most of the time they cannot help each other, so the relationship between the two parties is not very close.

After all, every conjurer will be under the unified management of the conjuration community, and the supernatural beings cannot win them into any organization in Yokohama for their own use.

At the same time, there is an essential difference between supernatural powers and incantations, and supernatural powers cannot directly exorcise curse spirits like conjurers.If encountering the previous Yokohama carriageway imaginary haunted and murdered by magic spirits, at most they can only use their advantage in intelligence, and naturally there is no way to carry out more cooperation with magicians.

Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly, gently rubbing the smooth porcelain surface of the teacup with his fingertips.

Although there used to be some uncontrolled curse masters who were temporarily absorbed by the group of supernatural beings, but...

There are thorny heads everywhere.

Curse masters often have bad intentions, and the purpose of joining the organization of supernatural beings is not pure.A long time ago, the port Mafia had recruited a curse master who volunteered to recommend himself, but half a month later, he found that the other party not only had a lax attitude when performing tasks, but also repeatedly lobbied his colleagues, hoping that they would participate in a project called " The strange organization of "Pan Xing Sect"——

The result, of course, was that the curser was physically fired immediately.

I thought he was here to join the port mafia, but he didn't expect that he was here to break up the family.The curse master is really scheming.

At that time, Osamu Dazai was still a well-known cadre in Hong Kong and Heilongjiang. Although this incident happened at the lower levels, even he heard about it because it was too outrageous.

Until now, he still remembers his partner expressing emotion to himself after learning about the incident:

"As expected of a magic world with a thousand-year history, it is really good at doing evil, teaching, and brainwashing."

At this point in his thoughts, Osamu Dazai couldn't help but let out a low laugh, held the teacup to his lips, and took a sip leisurely.

Precious historical experience tells them that it is good for both power users and conjurers to maintain the current clear situation.

Therefore, after Gojo Satoru and others succeeded in expelling the imaginary curse spirit of the carriageway, the Armed Detective Agency is also doing its best to complete their commission, just not wanting to owe a debt of favor that is difficult to repay.

Osamu Dazai put down his teacup, and changed into a sitting posture.His keen five senses made it easy for him to hear the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door, his eyes lowered slightly, and he glanced at the suitcase on the ground.

Half a minute later, someone knocked on the door of the reception room a few times. Xia Youjie pushed the door open first, and smiled apologetically at Osamu Dazai, "Something happened just now, so you have been waiting for a long time."

Osamu Dazai waved his hands with a smile, while expressing that he didn't care, he warmly greeted the two who entered the room behind Xia Youjie: "Student Shendu, Mr. Gojo, long time no see!"

Gojo Satoru snorted lightly, nodded indifferently, still feeling resentful about the oolong they had when they met for the first time; but Kamitarin still remembered being polite, smiled and bowed to Osamu Dazai, and greeted him respectfully Said: "It's been a long time, Mr. Lao Dazai made this trip and came to Tokyo from Yokohama."

"Oh, don't be so polite," Osamu Dazai said briskly, "You three are distinguished guests of the Armed Detective Agency, and I'm just doing things according to the president's orders."

So, the polite conversation ended here, and the three Gaozhuan sat on the sofa opposite Osamu Dazai one after another.

As the central figure of this entrustment, Xia Youjie glanced at Gojo Satoru, who was automatically glued to Kamitarin and had no intention of speaking at all, and sighed with a headache in his heart, so he had to take the lead in saying softly: "Mr. Dazai, may I ask you?" Can you tell us the news that the Armed Detective Agency has received?"

"Mmm, of course."

Dazai Zhi still had a smile on his lips, and suddenly reached out to lift the suitcase at his feet, turned it around, and placed it horizontally on the coffee table in front of him, with the buckle on the opening facing Xia Youjie's direction.

"Open it and have a look." Osamu Dazai made a "please" gesture and blinked his iris-colored eyes, "This is the Surprise that the Armed Detective Agency carefully prepared for you!"

The small silver-gray box looked inconspicuous. Xia Youjie, who was in charge of receiving Osamu Dazai not long ago, had noticed it, but thought it was just his carry-on luggage, and didn't take it to heart.

But now, the other party has made such an obvious gesture, the three Gaozhuan were all taken aback for a moment, and then showed shocked expressions in unison, staring straight at the suitcase, but no one bothered to open it for a while.

So what is contained in the box...is the legendary devil fruit? !

After a moment of sluggishness, Gojo Satoru was the first to come back to his senses, exchanged a glance with Dazai Osamu, leaned over to hold the suitcase, pulled the buckle, and slammed the lid off——

Sure enough, an apple shaped like an apple, about the size of two fists, but dark blue in color, was quietly lying in the center of the box. The turbulent spiral pattern is exactly the same as the legendary Devil Fruit in the Age of Discovery.

"Is this the devil fruit you said before, 'that allows people to control their taste at will'?"

"Yes." Osamu Dazai nodded, and suddenly took out a book from behind his back as if by magic, and handed it to Gojo Satoru, apparently prepared, "This is the devil fruit illustrated book, page 287 records this kind of fruit, You can take a look."

Sitting on the right side of Gojo Satoru, Rin Kanto stretched out his hand and turned the book backward to page 280. Sure enough, in the upper left corner, he saw the same devil fruit as in the suitcase in front of him. The effect introduction was the same as what Osamu Dazai said before. The ability to allow the eater to freely control and change the taste.

"Three days ago, I heard from my friend that the fruit with this ability appeared on the black market and was about to be sent to the auction by the seller."

Osamu Dazai explained to them what happened in due course: "The Armed Detective Agency immediately took action after receiving the news, and bought this devil fruit from the other party first... Fortunately, because the fruit has a special ability, the seller is very reasonable. It was sold to us without any trouble, which just happened to solve Xia You's current predicament."

The "rather special" in his mouth is obviously just a euphemism, and the adjective should be replaced with "chicken ribs" to be more appropriate.

The ability to adjust the sense of taste at will has basically no other value except to make foodies yearn for it.Therefore, apart from being "rare and rare" and "carrying the history of the age of great exploration", this devil fruit is almost impossible to compete with other auction items on the black market. No wonder the seller would sell it so happily. On the contrary, it is convenient for Shendu Rin and others.

However, even though the effect is quite tasteless, this thing is still a legendary devil fruit after all, and the asking price will definitely not be cheap...

Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin and said to Osamu Dazai: "I will transfer the specific fee to the account of the Armed Detective Agency in three days. Just remember to pay attention to the notice."

There are comings and goings, and they don't owe each other favors. This is the best way to get along between magicians and people with supernatural abilities.

The content of the entrustment was that the Armed Detective Agency was responsible for finding the whereabouts of the Devil Fruits, excluding purchases on behalf of them. Of course, Osamu Dazai understood the meaning of Gojo Satoru's move, so he didn't show politeness to him. He nodded and said: "No problem, thank you Mr. Gojo .”

The devil fruit in the box is very conspicuous. The cool dark blue makes people not have much appetite. Shendu Rin reached out and tapped its handle, turned his head, and whispered to Xia Youjie: "The era of great navigation is handed down. It is mentioned in the legend that one can only eat one devil fruit in a lifetime, and the person who has eaten it will be cast aside by the sea, unable to swim, and will also be affected by the "place where water accumulates" and become weak... ..."

"Well, I know." Xia Youjie didn't seem to take these side effects very seriously, and said relaxedly, "When you take a bath in the future, be careful not to soak for too long."

The side effects of devil fruit are very fatal to navigators wandering in the sea, but conjurers only think it is harmless.

Swimming is not Xia Youjie's hobby, even when he goes to the beach, he rarely goes into the water; what's more, conjurers are usually very busy, and there are not many vacations to squander, and he has no time for leisure activities such as soaking in hot springs.

"Another point is that people with fruit abilities will be afraid of 'sea stones'." Osamu Dazai added for them, "If they come into contact with sea stones, people who have eaten devil fruits will lose their acquired abilities and become An ordinary man."

"Well, it's not a big problem."

Xia Youjie had obviously thought about this, nodded and said, "The Hailou Stone will only remove the ability brought by the Devil Fruit, and will not affect my own "Spiritual Manipulation"...Moreover, the age of great navigation has passed. After so long, it is almost impossible to find the existing Hailou Stone, right? "

Osamu Dazai smiled, acquiescing to his question.

Indeed, at the moment when the age of great voyages has become a legend, there is almost no worry about taking devil fruit.

The short conversation ended here, Xia Youjie turned his head and looked at Wujo Wu, without much hesitation, he reached out to pick up the apple-like fruit, looked carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "It looks like a very It looks unpalatable."

Cool-toned foods can reduce appetite, not to mention devil fruits are notoriously unpalatable.Gojo Satoru also glanced at it, reached out and took out a folding fruit knife from his pocket, threw it to Xia Youjie, and reminded: "Peel off the skin before eating."

Xia Youjie caught the knife steadily, not only did not express his gratitude to his dear friend who was so caring for a while, but even rolled his eyes impolitely.

"After years of eating rags that smell like vomit, do you still care about this?"

Wutiaowu: "..."

Kanto Rin: "..."

Grass, there is no way to refute it.

But having said that, Master Wutiao's kindness still cannot be let down.Xia Youjie pulled out the blade, and along the spiral pattern, peeled off the dark blue peel, revealing the light-colored flesh, which looks exactly like a real apple.

In any case, at least it looks like food, which is much stronger than the magic core.

With such thoughts in mind, the mantra spirit practitioner raised his hand without any psychological burden, brought the fruit to his mouth, and under the nervous gaze of everyone in the room, he took a light bite——

Then he chewed as usual, swallowed the pulp, and commented calmly: "It's a bit bitter, but it's acceptable, and it's not that bad."

Xia Youjie's reaction was so flat that the rest of the people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shendu Rin looked at the fruit, and recalled the relevant information he had checked before. For a moment, he didn't know whether the legend of the age of great voyages was too exaggerated, or because Xia You's taste system had been honed, and the ordinary level of "unpalatable "There is absolutely no way to shake his will.

...uh, maybe the latter?
