I don't want to be an elf!

"As an assassin, I'm not qualified in terms of either skill or talent."

Standing next to Tokisaki Kurumi, Ozaki Kouyou held a short sword drawn from the handle of a paper umbrella. Fresh blood dripped down the blade, but her tone and expression were so calm that she didn't seem to have just survived a life-threatening assassination.

Just five minutes ago, Ozaki Koyo, who was out and about, was assassinated by the group.

However, what James didn't expect was that Tokisaki Kurumi was lurking beside Ozaki Koyo.

With the two women working together, James was completely powerless to resist and was killed with a knife and a gun.

However, this cannot be blamed on him, because it was a trap set by Tokisaki Kurumi, who knew the original plot.

There probably isn't a time traveler who doesn't take advantage of time travel.

Even if such a person did exist, Kurumi Tokisaki wouldn't be one of them.

“Well then, Mr. James, if you can tell me the location of the other members of the group, I might consider letting you off the hook.”

However, James remained unmoved, merely glancing at Kurumi Tokisaki with disdain.

Seeing this, Ozaki Koyo said, "Leave him to me. Although assassination is my specialty, I also know how to torture."

“No need to trouble yourself, Ms. Ozaki,” Kurumi Tokisaki replied. “Even if he did tell me, I have no intention of believing him, much less letting him off the hook.”

"What are you going to do after that?"

"Has Ms. Ozaki forgotten my abilities?"

With a simple gesture, Kurumi Tokisaki produced a delicate short flintlock pistol.

Behind her, the huge phantom of a Roman clock gradually materialized, exuding a heavy aura.

"Clock Emperor, Tenth Bullet".

The darkness of time transformed into bullets of power, which were then poured into the flintlock pistol.

Kurumi Tokisaki held up James's phone with one hand and pulled the trigger with the other. The tenth bullet pierced through the phone and entered her head.

In an instant, all the memories on the phone flooded into her mind.

This naturally includes the contents of the battle plan written by Louisa.

"Thank you for the information. Now it's my turn to shine."

With the mission one step closer to completion, Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.

However, upon seeing the smile on her face, Ozaki Koyo's eyes darkened.

Just recently, the Port Mafia received a joint message from the Armed Detective Agency and the Special Abilities Agency.

The information provided was deduced by Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu based on information provided by Eyepatch Three, revealing Tokisaki Kurumi's true objective: to destroy Yokohama.

Although Mori Ougai guessed that Tokisaki Kurumi wanted the group to come to Yokohama, in the end, this was just one part of her plan, not the ultimate goal.

Her ultimate goal is to absorb the time of all the citizens of Yokohama, use the collected time to go back in time, and change the timeline.

If Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning is correct, the Port Mafia will not hesitate to mobilize the entire organization to kill him.

However, Mori Ougai was unsure whether the information was accurate, which is why he had Ozaki Kouyou cooperate with Tokisaki Kurumi to gather intelligence at the appropriate time.

"Ms. Tokisaki, what are your plans next?"

"Eliminate the members of other groups."

"Do you have any conflicts with the group?"

"not at all."

"Then why?"

Kurumi Tokisaki did not choose to answer the question.

This made Ozaki Koyo increasingly uneasy.

"Please, please tell me, your goal isn't to destroy Yokohama," Ozaki Koyo prayed anxiously in her heart. "I don't want Kyoka to be on my side."

In fact, Ozaki Koyo didn't care what her purpose was.

Whether it's defeating the group or destroying Yokohama, she won't interfere unless Mori Ougai gives her an additional order.

However, if Tokisaki Kurumi really chooses to destroy Yokohama, Izumi Kyoka will definitely choose to follow suit.

All Ozaki Koyo cared about was Izumi Kyoka.

Therefore, Tokisaki Kurumi becoming Yokohama's enemy was the ending she least wanted to see.

"You can do whatever you want with this person."

Kurumi Tokisaki glanced at the half-dead James on the ground, then lightly leaped over him: "I know everything I need to know from him, so he's no longer of any value to me."

"What are your plans after you defeated the group?"

"This is a secret I can't tell anyone."

Kurumi Tokisaki turned around, put her index finger to her lips: "But don't worry, Ms. Ozaki, I won't involve Kyoka in this."

"So, does that mean everyone except Jinghua will be involved?"

"Heh, now that things have come to this, I suppose there's no need for pretense between us, or rather, between me and the Port Mafia." Tokisaki Kurumi's body gradually disappeared into the shadows. "I have no intention of being your enemy. The choice of whether or not to get involved has always been in the hands of the Port Mafia."

Leaving behind these last words, Kurumi Tokisaki disappeared into the shadows.

Only the critically injured James and the silent Ozaki Koyo remained.

"Did you approach the organization with this intention from the very beginning?"

Ozaki Koyo sighed, a hint of regret showing on her beautiful face.

He casually plunged the short blade into James's throat, ending his life. Ozaki Koyo then swung the sword, flicking away the remaining blood.

As the sword blade pierced the umbrella, her expression gradually turned cold.

The Port Mafia, Yokohama's largest and most notorious criminal organization, has always been regarded as a taboo and monstrous force by the residents of Yokohama.

It is the Shadow of Yokohama, feared by people, yet protecting Yokohama in the darkness in another way.

If Yokohama faces a crisis, it can certainly choose to stand by and watch. Even if Yokohama is destroyed, it can escape to overseas countries and become a local tyrant.

However, if one loses their home, no matter where they settle down in the future, they will only be a stray dog.

A homeless stray dog.

"Saying that we've always had the choice is really an underestimation."

Ozaki Koyo turned and left, heading towards the Port Mafia building that stood tall in the distance.

"The moment you chose to be an enemy of Yokohama, you left us with no other choice."

Chapter 86 The Clone Swarms Out

"What exactly is that thing in the sky?!"

"Wow! That's so cool! A flying mechanical superhuman!"

"If I remember correctly, that should be the mobile headquarters of the North American superpower organization, the group."

"I hope they came to Yokohama only for business purposes."

In Yokohama, people on the streets are talking about the unusual things that have been discovered recently.

Many people have keenly noticed that Yokohama has become increasingly chaotic recently, as if something big is about to happen.

The arrival of the beluga whales made them feel a little confused and uneasy.

"Wait, what are those?!"

With a loud shout from a passerby, everyone's attention shifted from the beluga whale in the sky to another location.

Upon seeing the scene not far away, the crowd immediately began to stir. Some took out their phones to take pictures, some stood on tiptoe to look, and some even moved closer and closer in order to see it clearly.

Because this was a scene they had never seen before.

In mid-air, on buildings, and in shadows, countless stunningly beautiful girls in red and black dresses spread out in all directions.

Holding dual pistols, they resembled hunters stalking through a steel jungle, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"what!"

Not far away, as gunshots rang out, a man's scream followed.

Someone was killed.

Because the man's voice was so mournful, whether the people were curious, wary, or confused before, they were now filled with fear.

At this moment, the girls floating in mid-air seemed to have transformed into deadly grim reapers, their black gun barrels possessing the power to take lives.

Even their smiles are terrifying.

"Killing! Killing!"

"Run!"

"Don't push! Someone has fallen!"

As gunshots and screams rang out, fear, after a brief period of fermentation, quickly erupted, like an unstoppable avalanche.

People began shoving each other in an attempt to escape the place of trouble, and the more anxious they became, the stronger their fear grew.

Even those who didn't know what was happening were infected by the fear and urgency on the faces of these people fleeing frantically, and joined the fleeing crowd.

Like a plague, fear began to spread from this small neighborhood.

"As a man, don't you think you're being too cowardly?"

The long-absent clone number two, along with twenty-nine clones, surrounded a man dressed in a detective's outfit, holding a raccoon dog in his arms, in the middle of the road.

The man trembled with fear as he was surrounded by the crowd; his appearance even made one wonder if he had wet his pants from fright.

Looking at the man who had lost all ability to resist, the second clone was speechless.

The man's name is Edgar Allan Poe, one of the group's official members. His special ability is "The Black Cat of Morgue," which allows him to draw readers into his mystery stories.

Those pulled into the book's world must gather clues, investigate information, and finally deduce the killer's true identity in order to escape.

If the person pulled into the book dies in the book's world, the cycle of reincarnation will begin and they will start over.
