"died."

Xie Shuyi asked knowingly, "Did you kill him?"

"No...it doesn't count."

Xie Shuyi leaned down and looked up at Yosano's delicate face. "If it's not him, why do you look so apologetic?"

"It can be said that he died because of me. He once said that he would endure it, but because of my difference... He said that my [rightness] taught him one thing."

“The human heart has its limits.”

Yosano raised her head slightly, and her eyes, which were originally hidden by her hair, were exposed under the dim light. Hidden beneath her eyes was fatigue that could not be concealed.

Tanizaki asked, "He committed suicide?"

"Hanged himself."

Xie Shuyi raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you save him at that time? Not saving him is a good thing. It would be a relief if he died early. Otherwise, if you continue like this, Mori Ougai will only find new ways to achieve his goal."

"I wanted to save him, but... I was there too late." Yosano shook his head, "My powers don't work on the dead."

A self-deprecating smile formed at the corner of her mouth. "'Angel of Death'... that's also the name he gave me."

Xie Shuyi suppressed the frivolity on his face. For Yosano, who was alone and helpless at the time, after clearly confirming that he was an executioner, he was called such a nickname by the only person he cared about.

It hurts.

The supernatural power surged in his palm, and the roots of Jie Shuyi's hair gradually turned white.

A tiny whirlwind condensed in his hand, and after a moment, he placed a transparent little flower emitting white light in Yosano's hand.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pinched it. The flower felt soft, but also seemed to be empty, neither light nor heavy. He could sense a hint of coolness, as if it was a false illusion.

For Xie Shuyi, such a person's death is just death.

But since Sister Yosano cares.

Then he will care.

He was also happy to do something to please Yosano.

"The flowers are beautiful, I hope you like them."

Jie Shuyi lifted up the strands of hair on his forehead, trying to hide the obvious white marks at the roots of his hair, and raised his hand to hold Yosano's arm without any concern.

"Sister is amazing too. She was able to escape from that madman in Moriogai."

Yosano held the flower in his palm and felt the warmth on his arm. He felt much more relaxed. The man who hanged himself seemed to gradually fade away in his memory.

"To be honest, I don't remember much about what happened after that day. It is said that I tried to sink the base and set a bomb on the bottom of the ship, and then I was caught."

Jie Shuyi smacked his lips, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet Tanizaki's eyes. He clearly read the expression "as expected" and "not surprising" in the latter's eyes.

He looked away.

Sister Yosano has been a hero since she was young.

"I'm still isolated in the facility after the war. But even if they let me go, I probably won't go out."

Although the whole process was easily glossed over by Yosano in just one sentence, it is still impossible to guess what she experienced later in the war.

After her only spiritual support, 'he', committed suicide, she still had to fulfill her previous duty to save the group of puppet soldiers.

They had to endure the soldiers' abuse and insults, accept their crazy malice, and watch them rush to their deaths with their own eyes.

Day after day, a vicious cycle.

Even after the war is over, Yosano cannot escape the damage caused by the war, so it is normal for her to suffer from PTSD.

Imagine Mori Ogai's attitude today. He obviously still needs Yosano. I'm afraid that after the war, he will still imprison Yosano, trying to make the latter his tool forever.

Xie Shuyi asked, "When you were isolated, was it Mori Ogai who rescued you?"

Yosano nodded, "Three years after the defeat, he found me. He needed my powers, so he dragged me into hell once again."

Xie Shuyi shook his head and said, "Indeed, that guy should regard you as the key to the peace of the city in the [Three Moments Concept]. If nothing unexpected happens, at that time he should have wanted to defeat the leader of the port mafia at that time, and he needed the [Undead Legion] led by you."

The conversation with Xie Ye and Shu Yi about reconciliation was understated, but Tanizaki became anxious when he heard it.

"But didn't you join the detective agency later?" Tanizaki asked, "Mori Ogai's behavior is totally inhumane!"

"Yes, it was because of this incident that the president severed his alliance with Mori Ogai for me."

Yosano smiled, "Come to think of it, it was Ranpo who took me away from the Port Mafia."

"Huh? Ranpo actually knows the way!"

Tanizaki knocked on Jie Shuyi's head, "Is this the point?!"

Xie Shuyi covered his head pitifully, "You hit me on the head... Sister Yosano and you didn't care."

Before they knew it, they had reached the end of the corridor. After climbing a few steps, the gray iron door was their destination.

"Behind this door is the transaction location. I must save the detective agency at all costs."

Yosano took the lead and walked up the last few steps. Thinking of what Ranpo said to him on the first day he joined the detective agency, his face became serious and earnest, and his eyes were full of determination to fight to the death.

The detective agency is the only place in the world that can accommodate her.

When he put his hand on the door handle and leaned forward, he pushed the door outwards, and the dazzling light from outside shone on him.

Jie Shuyi raised his hand as if in a trance, trying to touch the longed-for but unattainable warmth.

Yosano was walking in the front, with such a slender figure, and every step she took was decisive and powerful.

A faint smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Armed Detective Agency was really a magical place.

He stepped into the light, followed by Tanizaki and Kenji.

"You still have to take me with you when it comes to fighting. No one is better than me."

He quickly followed, staying close to Yosano, like a guardian knight and also like a guide, walking with her into an unknown future.

After leaving the underground passage, the four people broke into a remote alley.

According to the address given by the former group leader, they walked to the road on the right.

Tanizaki quickened his pace and soon could no longer reach the front of the team.

"I'm familiar with this place. I'll lead the way."

Xie Shuyi pulled him and brought him closer to the team.

"Don't run too far. If you run into someone from the port mafia, I can save them."

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for the remaining people to hear clearly.

As expected, Tanizaki slowed down his pace, but still walked in front of the team.

"We still have to hurry up. The Symmetrical Port Mafia hasn't discovered our escape yet. Let's proceed quickly..."

Before they could finish their transaction, they heard an argument coming from the exit ahead.

"Why, old man? Can't we just kill those guys from the detective agency?"

Yosano reacted the fastest and hid in the cover. Tanizaki also pulled Kenji and hid behind the wall. Xie Shuyi squatted down, crawled forward like a turtle, moved his feet, stuck his head out, and looked towards the middle of the road.

In an instant, his eyes lit up.

It was still an acquaintance. He squinted his eyes and hissed.

Why didn't I see the little bomb?

I still like fighting with crazy people.

Tachihara Michizo shouted, "Didn't the boss tell them that Francis might be from the military police and not to approach the trading field? However, they ignored the boss's warning and slipped out. Aren't they looking down on our boss?"

Xie Shuyi obediently tugged at the corner of Yosano's clothes, and raised his head, "He is spreading rumors."

Yosano pressed his head down and said, "Keep watching."

The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "You still can't get rid of the way of thinking from your gangster days, Liyuan. But our actions don't depend on whether we are looked down upon. Instead, we should follow the boss's will first."

Tachihara Michizo's face turned very bad, but he did not refute it. The old man continued, "Don't let anyone hurt the detective agency. We must protect them even if it costs our lives. This is the order we received."

The old man sighed, "That is to say, the boss already knew that the detective society was going to this dangerous transaction."

His voice was full of energy from beginning to end. It seemed like he was talking to Tachihara Michizo, but he was also speaking to the people in the detective agency in the corner.

He shifted his gaze slightly and accurately met the eyes of the people in the corner.

"That's it. Everyone from the detective agency."

Now that we have been discovered, there is no need to hide any longer.

Yosano stood up and said, "Dr. Mori really is a worrier."

The remaining three followed closely behind. The smiles on Yin and Tachihara Michizo's faces froze when they saw Jie Shuyi.

When they were colleagues in the port mafia, they heard much more rumors about this ancestor than the outside world.

At this moment, she was standing obediently among the detective agency team. When she didn't speak, she had the charm of an oriental beauty, aloof but not gorgeous, and her cunning eyes were the most beautiful.

Yosano blocked the people behind him and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Mori. This deal with Francis is not a trap."

The old man asked, "According to...?"

Yosano answered quickly, "Because Atsushi believes him. Atsushi had fought a life-and-death battle with that guy on the White Whale before. Lies won't work against an opponent who once fought with his souls colliding and fighting to the death."

Although there was an element of blind trust, Xie Shuyi also believed that Francis would not betray him.

In addition to his trust in Dun, there is also his understanding of Francis.

Smart people choose their camp carefully.

The Armed Detective Agency will definitely win.

......

Before Yosano joined the detective agency

Fukuzawa and Mori Ogai were fighting fiercely on the rooftop for Yosano's future, but Yosano, who was imprisoned in layers, was easily pushed out by someone.

"Let me go back, I can't go out."

Ranpo stopped moving the wheelchair and asked, "Why?"

Yosano's eyes were numb, her beautiful eyes had lost their original brilliance, she hung her head as if she had lost all life, "Because my special ability can easily save lives, the lives around me will become worthless. I can't...live anymore..."

Ranpo twisted his face in confusion, "Like an idiot. This kind of thing doesn't matter at all. If you don't want to use your powers, just don't use them."

Yosano still lowered his head, "If you don't want to use it, then don't..."

Ranpo walked up to him and waved a finger, "You think it's impossible? Why? Because your healing ability is amazing? Because everyone wants to use your ability? You are wrong, my [Super Reasoning] is the best ability in the world, and other abilities are dispensable. As long as I am here, everything can be solved."

Seeing that Yosano still didn't respond, Ranpo was obviously very distressed, "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you."

He thought seriously for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and placed his palm in front of Yosano.

After spinning half a circle, he made a fist, squatted down, and tapped his fist lightly with the fingertips of his other hand.

When it opened again, he placed the contents into Yosano's hand.

After seeing things clearly, Yosano's cloudy eyes gradually became clear and full of disbelief.

The beautiful golden butterfly seemed to come alive in the afterglow of dusk. It was just lying there quietly, but it made people feel like it was breathing.

"This is..."

"Why?" Yosano's tone was clearly filled with tears.

It was clear that after he died that day, the butterfly could no longer be found.

"I've never told anyone about this."

Ranpo put his hands on his hips and said, "I found this in that base."

He smiled brightly and complacently, "See, I know everything. If you want to ask me any questions, I can answer them."

He was simply too confident to be ignored.

Yosano actually believed his words and clenched his fists unconsciously, as if grabbing the last straw, and his trembling fingertips grasped the golden butterfly accessory.

"So, what should I do from now on? People who are really me died because of me, and the same thing will definitely happen in the future. There will definitely be people who want to use my power. Whether I agree or not, is there really a place for me in this world?"

By the end of her words, she was almost choking, and she poured out all her thoughts like a roar.

Ranpo suppressed his smile and said, "Yes."

When he was serious, his tone inexplicably made people trust him more, "There is only one place in this world that doesn't need your abilities."

"Join the Armed Detective Agency."

"We don't want your superpowers, but your kindness."

"You don't want to see anyone die, right? That's why it's so painful. It's because you have this kindness that we want to invite you, even if you don't have superpowers."

“Your kindness is the most valuable.”

......

When Mori Ogai met Yosano, who worked in a cake shop, it was Jie Shuyi, who had just escaped from the Joker organization, and he brought him to the military supply position.

Mori Ogai: What is he doing?

Xie Shuyi: This person is very handsome and has a nice heart too.

Mori Ogai held his forehead and closed his eyes: I need you to save them?

Xie Shuyi: Why do you need me to kill someone? Who? I will ensure that the mission is completed.

Mori Ogai: That's enough...
