[Wen Hao] I worked hard to restore the health of the protagonist group

Dun didn't get to continue training as he wished. Xie Shuyi raised his hand and shook his cell phone, and the lit page showed 10:30.

"I'm going to be late..." Xie Shuyi paused, "I'm already late."

While the two were talking, Kunikida had already quickly packed up all of his belongings and said, "Let's go back to the detective agency."

Xie Shuyi responded, took the doll back from Mr. Kunikida, and pulled Dun's arm.

"Let's go, let's go to work~"

As soon as they arrived at the detective agency, they saw that it was empty. The secretary was standing at the door with a folder in her hand and a smile on her face. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.

Kunikida took a few steps forward and asked, "What's going on? Did everyone go on a mission?"

The secretary smiled and replied, "There is an emergency meeting. Everyone from the detective agency is waiting for you in the conference room."

Kunikida adjusted his glasses. The Armed Detective Agency had just been recognized by the State Council and received the [Exorcist Azusa Yumikaze] award. Yet at this moment, a person with special abilities was causing trouble.

"Let's go."

As Kunikida walked forward, Atsushi and Jie Shuyi naturally hurried to follow.

"[Murder Society]?"

After the three entered the conference room, they took their seats one by one, and Kunikida went to check the main event information.

Xie Shuyi sat down next to Ranpo, picked up the information in front of him, looked at the words on the title, and read them out loud as if he was confused.

At this point, Kunikida had a basic understanding of the situation. He stuck the scattered pictures on the table onto the whiteboard and left some black notes in the corners like annotations.

"This time it's an urgent request from the government," Kunikida said. He took out a photo from the scattered photos on the table and placed it on the table in the middle of the conference room.

“This is a picture of the victim.”

Xie Shuyi was far away and couldn't see clearly. At a glance, he could only see that the photo was a red color.

The light in Dun's eyes flickered, "How cruel..."

He almost glanced away and then raised his hand to pass the photo to the back of the meeting room until it was in front of Jie Shuyi.

"Thank you." Xie Shuyi naturally would not be stingy with his gratitude for Dun's thoughtful gesture.

Raising his hand to pick up the photo, Jie Shuyi opened his mouth slightly. No wonder Dun said it was cruel.

The man above had been cruelly stripped of all his skin and flesh. He had lost his original appearance and his face was distorted in a hideous manner.

The red color you saw before was all the blood flowing from the victims.

Judging from the state of the man's body in the photo, it seems much more likely that the victim died of pain or bleeding than of other passive deaths.

He's a murderer who enjoys torturing people.

Xie Shuyi threw the photo onto the table.

He sat up straight, his raised eyebrows clearly indicating that he was in a good mood.

I haven't seen someone like this for a long time.

Kunikida saw Shuyi finish reading it, then he took the photo back and pasted it on the whiteboard next to a handsome man.

He touched both of them with his fingertips. If nothing unexpected happened, the man with the sunny smile would be the original appearance of the victim if he had not been skinned.

"The victim was a young councillor from Yokohama. As you can see, the killer peeled off the councillor's upper body, turned it inside out and put it back on his body."

Yosano looked at the miserable state of the corpse, holding his chin and couldn't help but complain, "This fetish is really amazing."

Xie Shuyi nodded in agreement, "It's amazing, almost perfect knife skills. The skin is not damaged at all."

Kunikida adjusted his glasses, and when Jie Shuyi noticed his gaze, he immediately kept quiet and obediently zipped up his mouth.

"This murderer has committed four crimes within this week."

As Kunikida spoke, he took out a few photos from the remaining ones and placed them in the middle of the conference table.

"The deputy commander of the Coast Guard died from having a highly corrosive liquid poured over his head."

"The secretary of the director of the External Security Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense. The murderer used an air compressor to inject ultra-high pressure air into him, causing all the blood in his body to gush out of his pores and he died."

"The last one was a first-class officer of the military police. The murderer implanted a South American plant called 'suicide grass' that causes severe pain under his armpits and imprisoned him in a secret room. The officer finally banged his head against the wall and died of brain contusion."

Xie Shuyi raised his hand to ask the question, which was clearly a well-behaved behavior, but he stood up and asked while raising his hand, which made the action of raising his hand seem redundant.

"These four people seem to have no connection, why do you say they were killed by the same murderer?"

Ranpo answered his question, "【The Five Degenerations of Heaven】This is the murderer's message, right?"

Xie Shuyi tilted his head, "The Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man...?"

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Xie Shuyi turned around and looked back, and saw President Fukuzawa Yukichi standing at the door.

"The so-called Five Decays of the Celestial Beings are the five signs that the highest-ranking celestial beings in the six realms of reincarnation will show when they are about to die."

"[Greasy clothes], dirt and grease appear on clothes."

"[Flowers on the head wither], the flowers on the head wither and die."

"[Body odor], the body begins to smell bad."

“[Axillary sweating], sweat coming out from the armpits.”

Tanizaki followed the president's words and asked, "So this is a metaphorical serial murder case?"

Xie Shuyi sat on the chair, leaned back slightly and turned the chair leisurely, "The problem is that there are only four murders now, isn't it five bad luck?"

Kunikida nodded, "Among the Five Degenerations of Heaven, [Unhappy Master] has not yet appeared."

Dun stood up, his eyes showing reluctance, "Does that mean there will be another murder?"

The president answered quickly, causing everyone to look over, "No."

His voice was serious. "Because we will stop them. We will do our best to stop the evildoers' plot."

The silent Ranpo suddenly spoke up, "I object."

Xie Shuyi also raised his hand, "+1 for opposition."

It seemed as if they didn't expect Ranpo and Jie Shuyi to actually say the word "opposition". Even the president couldn't help but look sideways at the two of them.

"why?"

Ranpo held his head with both hands and leaned back slightly. "My friend gave me some advice. [Soon a big job will come to the detective agency. Don't accept it! If you accept it, the detective agency will be finished!] So I refused to accept this job."

Xie Shuyi looked back at Ranpo and continued to explain to the president, "We went to look for our friend after he disappeared. Although his aura was very weak, we can be sure that the psychic was very powerful. I also think that this advice is worth listening to. This is no longer just a job, it concerns the detective agency."

Xie Shuyi raised his chin and said, "I don't want the detective agency to be ruined."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a while. "Have you seen the Exorcist Bow Seal hanging in the president's office? This is a rare honor for us who protect the people."

Jie Shuyi spread out his hands lazily.

"I said I don't recommend taking this job, but if the president feels it's an obligation, it's something that must be done. I'm still happy to become an opponent of such a murderer."
