Accidental Death

"It's really a night suitable for death. What do you think? Mr. Ayatsuji." Sensing the arrival of Ayatsuji pedestrians, he said with his back turned to Twenty Faces.

Under the deep night, the noise from the radio tower can be vaguely heard.

The detective looked at him without saying a word.

Twenty Faces was still watching the crowd downstairs: "Teacher doesn't seem surprised by the current situation. May I ask your opinion?"

"..."

The detective glanced at the remaining nine hostages and said, "Suicides that have nothing to do with tricks are not under the detective's control—that being said, I hate being taken advantage of."

"Use?" Twenty Faces was dumbfounded.

Someone once described Ayatsuji Xingren as a detective who "no criminal is willing to face", but now, Twenty Faces is very calm.

"You thought so, but in fact—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Three years ago, you created the twenty-face incident, which caused an uproar in society—but you were not satisfied with the result. You must have started planning for today's incident since then." Detective Use a declarative tone.

Although I didn't expect Ayatsuji pedestrians to say this, after a moment of silence, Twenty Faces still admitted frankly: "It is indeed so. So, Mr. Ayatsuji already knows my purpose, right?"

Ayatsuji Xingren: "Twenty Faces has always had a crazy appeal among the masses. And you directed and acted the scene of resurrection from the dead, because you want the 'Twenty Faces' to be deified in the cognition of the crowd. In addition On today's massive suicide show——

"Is it 'MEME (meme)'? You want to use this to make the Twenty Faces into a concept that lasts forever between people." Speaking of this, Ayatsuji looked at the Twenty Faces.

"Yes, just as you said."

With a smile in his voice from Twenty Faces, he lingered at the hostages standing on the edge of the stand, then turned around to look at the pedestrian Ayatsuji, and opened his hands: "Today, taking our death as an opportunity, the Dark Star formula will be fully established. Physiognomy will become the singularity of this world, permanent as a shadow rooted in people's hearts. We will die, but 'Twenty Facial Faces' will live forever."

——Using the singularity to become a unique existence, this is simply the former Kyogoku Natsuhiko.

It's just that the latter just wants to become a monster, while Twenty Faces is so arrogant that he wants to use this to subvert society.

The cocky lunatic smiled: "We will ignite a revolution."

"But your behavior is just disrupting order. This is not change, but pure revenge and catharsis."

Ayatsuji pedestrian asked: "You use your group of fanatical followers to achieve your goals, but at the same time, you also become their mask. It is impossible for you not to think about this?"

The weak who are trapped by society are pitiful, but it is undeniable that some of them cannot think for themselves and do not know how to resist.

The appearance of the twenty faces pointed them in a direction, and they put on the masks of the twenty faces to identify themselves.

This seems to be resistance, but in fact it is drifting with the tide without assertiveness.Borrowing the identity of the twenty faces to vent the dissatisfaction accumulated in the heart for a long time.

Under the mask of "twenty faces" is such a group of people.

A bunch of rabble.

"There is indeed such a problem." Twenty Faces said calmly.

The detective stared at him and said word by word: "So you found me."

Twenty Faces nodded without hesitation: "The flaw of the current formula is that judgments on crimes are all based on individuals, and there is no unique criterion. And the teacher's 'Another' is a supernatural ability that can make absolutely correct judgments." If you can This ability is merged into the singularity as a law, and the establishment of the new order will be smoother than expected.'”

He paused: "—I think so. But to achieve this, you must die voluntarily."

Ayatsuji pedestrian: "But I can't do that."

"It seems to be true now." Twenty Faces shook his head, feeling very regretful.

Then, he suddenly asked Ayatsuji Xingren: "Is the teacher thinking, if this is the case, why do I still insist on meeting you?"

The detective looked at Twenty Faces.

"Perhaps I think there is a one-in-a-million possibility that I can persuade you to join us at the last moment." Twenty Faces spread his hands, "Or, I just hope that you can witness this moment."

"Mr. Ayatsuji, no matter what you do with twenty faces or a murder detective, what you do is undoubtedly incompatible with this world and is destined to be incomprehensible." He stretched out his hand to the pedestrians of Ayatsuji, "Then why don't you choose to change this world? Yours Ability is definitely a more perfect rule than the law."

Ayatsuji pedestrians were unmoved: "You seem to have made a mistake, I have no interest in what you do."

Hearing what Yan Tsuji said, Twenty Face suddenly gave a short laugh, and immediately said briskly: "Really? As expected of Mr. Yan Tsuji, it's exactly what that person said."

He seemed to be recalling: "I'm afraid he had already predicted the current ending at that time, right?"

Ayatsuji pedestrian frowned: "Who is 'he'?"

This is also a question that Ayatsuji pedestrians have been thinking about.

Only those with extremely high authority are qualified to view the relevant information of other abilities, and there is a high probability that there will be no such people among the followers of Twenty Faces.

Who on earth revealed his information to Twenty Faces?

Twenty Faces didn't answer, but walked backwards towards the edge of the broadcast tower.

The young man's voice was as soft as a sigh, and his expression carried a strange nostalgia: "I have been entangled in this annoying world for too long."

The detective stood where he was, staring at Twenty Faces with ocher eyes: "Do you really think your plan will succeed?"

"You alone can't stop me."

The young man opened his hands in the night wind, fell backwards without saying a word.

The howling wind passed by my ears.

However, at the moment when the feeling of weightlessness was about to hit, a certain force in the void suddenly pulled him up!

Emerald green snow-like dots of light emerged around, the illusion in front of him broke, and a figure appeared in front of Twenty Faces.

Twenty faces were full of astonishment.

He looked to the side, and the hostages who participated in the suicide had also been subdued by the police who appeared from nowhere.

——This stand has long been covered by phantoms!

"So that's it. Is it Tanizaki Junichiro from the Armed Detective Agency? 'Xiyuki' is indeed an ability suitable for lurking." Kyogoku Natsuhiko appeared beside Ayatsuji pedestrians.

Tanizaki Junichiro's ability Miyuki can create illusions within a certain range, and it is easy to hide from the eyes of Twenty Faces.

After grabbing the arm of Twenty Faces, Tanizaki Junichiro injected a tube of injection directly into Twenty Faces without much hesitation.

Even though he was unwilling, Twenty Faces still fell into a coma under the influence of the medicine.

"The old man thought this incident would be more interesting."

"..." Ayatsuji Xingren glanced at him, "It would indeed be more interesting if you died here now."

Kyogoku Natsuhiko: "..."

Jingji Xiayan: "This old man is a monster, how could a monster die?"

……

The detective watched the police take the hostages away indifferently, and stayed here for a while before going downstairs.

When he stepped into the stairwell, he heard Kyogoku Natsuhiko sigh with a smile.

"—the moonlight is so beautiful."
