Xiao Zhongya's plan to grow taller

Xia Youjie, wearing a five-tie robe, stood at a certain alley and looked at the five mafia buildings.

The pitch-black building soared into the sky, showing its status and majesty.

Xia Youjie smiled and said, "Soon Yokohama will become a breeding ground for curse spirits. It's a pity that those people don't know what's going to happen. It's so tragic."

"Xia You, why do you have to go to such trouble, wouldn't it be good to just use my technique to turn everyone into a curse spirit?" The real person held the dog's tail grass in his mouth, put his hands behind his head, he was puzzled, "use me If I use the spell, I can make Yokohama a kingdom of curse spirits before the sun rises tomorrow!"

"Renren, don't you think this is very interesting?" Xia Youjie retracted his gaze and looked at the real person, "Watching them struggle, watching them kill each other, watching the situation is about to decide whether to win or lose, only to realize that he is not Fisherman..."

Xia Youjie found it very interesting.

Human beings are constantly evolving in the long river of time, some evolve into higher creatures, and some evolve into inferior creatures.

Those who evolve into higher creatures can better adapt to the absurd and real world, while those who evolve into inferior creatures can only be submerged in the long river and become the cornerstone.

There are too many people who can become the cornerstone of this world, and because there are so many, it doesn't matter if some of them die.

"Really, let's sit in the best viewing seats and watch this scene. Let's see if Mr. Pharmacist can make this storm sweep across Yokohama. It will be very exciting..."

8 month 14 day.

Members of the detective agency wandered around in disguise in the three preselected positions circled by Yukichi Fukuzawa.

Whether it is sunny or cloudy, there are a few places in Yokohama that will never fall. The first one is the famous landmark tower in Yokohama, a large shopping mall. The daily traffic will only go up, especially the ones that can watch the whole of Yokohama. On the observatory floor, you can have a panoramic view of Yokohama's day and night scenery.

Followed by Bajingdao Sea Paradise, Red Brick Warehouse.

Since it is necessary to set up a stage to act, the actors are in place, and the audience is naturally indispensable. The flow of people in these three places will be crowded even on busy working days, and they are most suitable for kicking off the reform.

After the electric sound of "Zizi", Kunikida turned sideways, put his finger on the headset, and asked, "Atsushi, Tanizaki, how is the situation there?"

Atsushi Nakajima is wearing a white shirt, black mid-length overalls, a red bow on the neckline, a beard and glasses that can move by himself, and a handful of balloons in his hand.

He was distributing balloons to children at Hakkeijima Sea Park. Hearing Kunikida's voice, Atsushi Nakajima smiled at the children who took the balloons and walked to another area.

"I didn't find any suspicious people here, but I noticed that the ticket price in the sea park is a bit strange." Originally, because of frequent attacks, many people went home directly after school and would not stay outside.

But at this time, the ticket price of the Ocean Park suddenly dropped, almost half of the original ticket price, so that there are more people visiting the Ocean Park today than during holidays.

Tanizaki is in another area. He is wearing a doll costume, walking clumsily and slowly. Occasionally, a few children will come running around him, laughing and laughing. He can only stop to play with them for a while, so the speed is even slower...

After finally changing the area, Tanizaki lay down on the bench, half of his life was gone.

"Report... There is no abnormality on my side..." After struggling to take off the hood, Tanizaki let out a long sigh of relief, and straightened his sweaty hair, "But I saw someone distributing leaflets to tourists here, it seems to be a A theatrical performance will start at 23:[-] tonight."

At the same time, Yosano Akiko, who is wearing a black suit and black sunglasses, is following Ranpo Edogawa who plays the role of "Master", and they are visiting the red brick warehouse.

Compared with the sea park, there are not so many people in the red brick warehouse.

Most of the people who come here are old people, or students with schoolbags and cameras, or history buffs.

There are green plants at the entrances of restaurants and coffee shops in the vicinity, and tables and chairs with parasols are placed outside. The welcome bell rings from time to time, and the business is booming.

Yosano Akiko pinned a strand of hair hanging behind her ears, and looked ahead: "Master Ranbu, it's already the third round of shopping, and if you continue walking, it will attract attention."

"So what?" Young Master Luanbu was willful, holding a thick book with a pen in his pocket, "I am a novelist now, and I came to the Red Brick Warehouse to get inspiration. One day in the future, my book "The Murder in the Red Brick Warehouse" will definitely be sold in Yokohama!"

With Yosano Akiko: "..."

"Then let's take a walk around."

……

On the observatory floor, Naomi came to the floor-to-ceiling windows with her arm around Kyoka.

A few sporadic buildings rise from the ground, like a pole, surrounded by continuous residential and commercial areas, and the long bridge across the sea is full of traffic, and the water surface is rippled by the wind.

Naomi was almost pressed against the glass, a thousand words of admiration choked in her throat, she took out her phone and took a picture immediately!

Jinghua stood next to Naomi, watching her take pictures with great interest, so she also looked out the window.

Because they are here to investigate, in order to deceive others, she is wearing Naomi's school uniform today, and Naomi is wearing a friend's school uniform, even her hairstyle has changed, she and Naomi both wore prescription glasses.

Naomi received a phone call halfway through the filming, and the people around her answered it without hesitation.

"Brother, guess where I am? Landmark Tower! Are you coming to see me?" Not knowing what the other person said, Naomi's shoulders slumped, and she said helplessly: "Okay, brother, work hard, here Nothing happened, I came with Nai-chan, don't worry, don't worry!"

Izumi Kyoka looked at Naomi.

It happened that Naomi looked at her, and after their eyes met, Naomi smiled and blinked at her.

While Naomi was on the phone, Izumi Kyoka looked around.

Most of them are families or couples. Some use the scenery outside the window as the background, holding up their mobile phones to take pictures, while others are standing in front of a telescope and watching the daily life of Yokohama.

Among this group of people, Quan Jinghua found a strange person.

He was standing very close to the elevator and had a wide viewing angle. In other words, he could observe the people on the entire observatory floor from that position.

She was watching when the man looked over suddenly.

The moment the four eyes met, the body froze suddenly, Jinghua did not look away, just stared at the other party.

Naomi's words suddenly sounded in her ears——

"If you find someone suspicious, don't keep staring at him. Maybe what you did before has made you a habit of Jinghua, but this time we are ordinary citizens. Ordinary citizens will tilt their heads when they see strange people. He frowned, and then pulled the people around him to point and whisper, with disgust on his face, just like this..."

Looking back on Naomi's expression at that time, Jinghua tilted her head and frowned, from the wrinkled eyelids to the curvature of the corners of her mouth, she showed an extremely disgusted expression.

She went back and teased Naomi, pointed at the man, and started whispering in her ear, and glanced at him from time to time, as if looking perverted.

man:"……"

After the man took the elevator and left, Naomi held Kyoka's hand and let out a long sigh of relief, put the phone back to her ear, her eyes and expression changed: "Mr. Kunikida, we found a suspicious person."

……

At 8:14 on the evening of August 23th, the drama performance kicked off.

A few rows of plastic chairs were placed under the stage, and only a few people came to watch the performance. The lights all shone on the stage, making the surroundings even darker.

The background of the stage is Yokohama.

A few men in black carried an operating table onto the stage, next to which stood a trolley with surgical tools.

Not long after, the doctor appeared, wearing a white coat, mask and surgical gloves, and bowed with his hands on his shoulders facing the audience below.

"Welcome to today's drama theater. The theme of today's performance is—[Transformation]"

A young man stepped onto the stage. He was wearing a patient gown and lying on the operating table where the lights gathered. The surgical instruments in the cart were shining with luster.

The doctor picked up the scalpel with a compassionate smile on his face.

"From birth to death is growth, from death to birth is transformation, a phoenix can be reborn from ashes, a caterpillar can break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly. Only through painful struggles can transformation be endowed with meaning."

The blade cut through the patient's gown, and the flat abdomen began to bulge. The expression of the young man lying on the operating table suddenly became painful. His arms were bulging, his skin was flushed, his fingers were firmly grasping the edge, and he kicked his feet.

Some viewers felt extremely bored, got up and left, and did not forget to make a few comments when they left.

"What growth and transformation, are these people here to be funny? If I knew it, I wouldn't have watched it. It's so boring! What is rebirth from the ashes and a butterfly, so why don't you talk about cross talk..."

The doctor listened to the word of leaving the audience, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes looked at the young man's abdomen with extreme gentleness, as if a new life would come out of it.

——Blood splashed suddenly!

The thin to transparent wings fluttered and buzzed. On the head was a group of small scarlet compound eyes, which densely reflected the surrounding darkness and the audience below.

Freeze their terrified expressions for a moment.

The arm holding the edge hangs down feebly, and blood stains the operating table red, dripping down.

Under the terrified gaze of the audience, the doctor took off his mask, opened his arms, and his light golden hair flew under the night: "Let's start, Transformation Day, this is your carnival!"

A large number of people rushed out of the darkness, their expressions were ferocious and excited.It's going to be an all-night bash in which they'll be ushering in a new life!

April 8, 15:00

Mafia Building.

Xiao Zhong was also woken up by the sound outside.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at the empty side, Xiao Zhong also put on his coat and got out of bed, groping all the way to the door.

The light in the corridor came in, and there were voices and hurried footsteps drifting in.

He poked his head out to look, and Zhong Yuan, who happened to be caught in the movement, also caught an active one.

A few locks of sleepy hair protruded with a sense of presence, and naturally curved upwards in an arc, looking like they were hooking at him to let him come over.

"You guys go first." After Zhongyuan Zhongya said this, he walked towards Xiao Zhongye.

The child shrank himself into the door frame, and watched Nakahara Nakaya approaching, and Xiaozhong also asked: "Brother, are you going to save Brother Dazai? Can I go?"

"Impossible." Zhongyuan Zhongya squatted down, flicked Xiaozhongye on the forehead, and said angrily, "What can you do to help? It's good if you don't help! If you can't sleep, just sit by the window and count the stars. I'll be back when I reach [-]."

Xiao Zhongyuan looked resentful: "Brother, I can't count more than a thousand..."

Isn't this embarrassing the child...

"..." Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for a few seconds, picked up the child and threw it on the bed, brought his summer homework, and said in an uncompromising tone, "Then do the homework, or do you want to give a speech on the unfinished homework during the summer vacation when school starts? "

There was still a lot of homework left, so Xiaozhong also scratched his head.

Zhongyuan Zhong didn't have time to slowly coax the children to sleep, count the stars, or do their homework.

After about a while, he said: "Little devil, don't leave this room before dawn. There is food on the table. Go eat by yourself when you are hungry. No matter who knocks on the door outside, unless the door wants to be opened, otherwise even if you listen If you hear my voice—or Dazai’s voice, you are not allowed to open the door, can you hear me clearly?"

Xiao Zhong also nodded: "I see, brother."

After the door is closed, a clear sound of locking can be heard, and there is more than one lock.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Xiaozhong also turned on the lights around the bed. He dug out a piece of Zhongye's clothes from the closet and threw it on the bed, then ran to the table to grab some food.

Clothes draped over his body, as if being held in his arms by his brother.

Xiaozhong also lay on the bed, and began to rack his brains to solve the problems.

The warm yellow light shone down, and the room was very quiet. Occasionally, there were a few cracking sounds of cracking biscuits, and Xiao Zhong was about to figure out the answer. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, scaring him The son forgot the answer.

Xiaozhong also: "..."

He doesn't know the number of the call, and he doesn't answer the phone number he doesn't know!

Xiaozhong ignored it, picked up his homework and turned around, facing the phone with his buttocks, covering his ears and thinking about the question again.

The ringing lasted for a long time, probably guessing that the call would not be picked up, so he sent a message instead.

After finally writing the answer, Xiaozhong also took the phone over.

"Your brother Dazai is at the sewer factory in the western suburbs. 』

『I like you very much, Chuya. You didn’t do anything wrong. When you grow up, you will know that the road of life will not always go straight forward. Encountered a few stumbling blocks. 』

There are still a few more letters in the back, but Xiaozhong also stopped when he saw this, for no other reason——

He didn't know many words.

"What are you talking about..." Xiaozhong also looked at his homework, looked at his mobile phone, and simply threw away the pen, climbed out of bed, picked up a chair and put it in front of the French window, opened the curtains and started counting the stars.

The starry sky tonight is extraordinarily bright, and a small piece of red is reflected in the distance.

……Um?

Xiaozhong also realized that something was wrong, jumped off the chair and came to the glass.

In the past, the night view of Yokohama was colorful, with the continuous flow of lanes running like a golden river in all directions, the flashing neon lights, and the lines of streamers outlining the buildings in the dark.

However, at this moment, the glaring red replaced all of these, a fire broke the golden river, the lights no longer flickered, and all that could be seen were seas of flames that were about to be connected...

[Transformation Day] has begun.
