Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Legacy
61
It was a very young girl.
She is slender and light.The front hair is at the level of the eyebrows, and the hair at the back of the head hangs down in curls like silk woven with golden threads, shining under the bright lighting.The complexion is very fair, the eyes are blue, and the lip color is plump and moist red, like crushed rose petals.She was wearing a white silk suspender skirt that reached to her calf, and her whole body was shrouded in bright and bright colors, but she was full of fierce and aggressive aura.Half a step behind her was a black-haired man in a black shirt and white coat.The black suit jacket was draped over her shoulders, following her steps, it formed a long and narrow arc behind her.
When the heels of her high heels stepped on the log floor, some of the guests turned pale and trembled just because of the crisp sound of the heels hitting.And when the girl took a few steps forward and stood in front of the rostrum, directly under the crystal chandelier in the middle of the banquet hall, half of the people in the venue—the orange-haired boy, all the guards in black suits, the waiters in uniform, and even It's the secretary of the sponsor, Umezawa Kinzo—all of them.
They seemed to be facing a queen, with one hand on their chest, and their movements were clean and uniform, and they knelt down on one knee in the direction of the girl.
Then there was a very respectful voice that sounded neatly: "Boss!"
Except for the two detectives who occupied a corner of the room, the rest of the guests lowered their heads as if awakened by the sound.
***
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
***
Umezawa Kinzo laughed.
The girl had a cold face. The people of PortMafia fell to their knees.The rest of the people trembled.
He just felt happy.
Very happy - he hasn't been this happy in a long time since he got cancer.
That's great, he thought, old friend, I read that right.She is nothing like you.
This is really, really good.
The more the old man thought about it, the happier he became, and he laughed inappropriately.He seemed to have completely forgotten when and where this place was, and his laughter became more and more joyful, and he couldn't stop.Smiling and laughing, Mei Zejinzang's body softened, mouthfuls of fishy and sweet blood suddenly gushed out of his nose and mouth.At the same time, his vision suddenly blurred.
In the midst of dizziness, he felt that he had collapsed.However, there is no expected impact, but the lightness that makes the soul float.It was as if he was lying on a cloud.There is a thick white mist in front of my eyes.They were dry and cold, taking away his warmth bit by bit.But he didn't feel pain, and everything was fine except for a little chill.So he smiled and felt a little sleepy - when he realized this, endless tiredness immediately flooded up.
Then, he felt his hand being held, and a bright and brilliant shadow that seemed to be glowing broke through layers of white mist and appeared in front of his eyes.
It's like the city's unique orange-red sunset passing through the clouds-a warm light shone on him.
Umezawa Kinzo suddenly remembered - he can't sleep yet!He still has the last word to say.
——No, I still have a lot to say!
As Umezawa Kinzo thought so, he heard himself making a cheerful and hearty voice.
"Hahahahaha, I scared you! But it's okay, because—"
***
Everything happened unexpectedly.
The first person who found something wrong was Mori Ogai who "didn't need to salute because it's the leader's superpower".
And when Alice saw her supernatural power suddenly flash forward, before everyone reacted, she made a sudden move to support Umezawa Kinzo who fell suddenly, she rushed forward without thinking.
At this moment, she completely forgot her identity, ignored the people she had just called up, and only Umezawa Kinzo who suddenly vomited blood in front of her eyes—or, in other words, a patient who suddenly fell ill.
On the contrary, Mori Ogai was calm enough, and the humanoid supernatural ability supported the old man with one hand, and gestured towards Zhongya with the other.
The latter nodded immediately, "Be alert!"
All of a sudden, the sound of multiple guns being loaded rang out at the same time.All the guests in the banquet hall saw all the members of PortMafia including the waiters raise their guns with pale faces.While their guns were aimed at the guests, the front and rear doors of the banquet hall were simultaneously blocked by men in black suits with guns.
Is a very well-trained perfect response.
At this moment, Alice has completely ignored these things.She was kneeling in front of the old man, Umezawa Kinzo was unconscious, her pupils were out of focus, and she was half lying on the ground and kept vomiting blood.Mori Ogai supported his back, and the front of Umezawa Kinzo's shirt and suit was already bright red.
Alice has done everything she can, and now her hands are covered in blood.She is just a general surgeon. There are no equipment or conditions here, and she can't figure out the symptoms at all for a while.It was Mori Ogai who reminded her in her consciousness that she suddenly remembered what the old man said before the banquet started.
He's not sick, it's just time.His life-burning glow magic had finally lost its effect.
He is going to die.
Obviously, he has witnessed the death of many people, and even caused the death of many people with his own hands.But at this moment, Alice couldn't help but sink in her heart.She subconsciously held the old man's hand.Then I saw the old man startled as if returning to the light, and suddenly showed a smile.
"You... are fine...really, fine!" Umezawa Kinzo said vaguely.He opened his eyes wide, and tried his best to look in Alice's direction. His mouth was full of blood, and his white hair was disheveled—it was a gesture that could be described as terrifying to someone who was not familiar with death, but his smile was full of blood. Is relieved and carefree.
Alice froze.Then, the old man grabbed her wrist violently with one hand, and pulled her forward forcefully.That was unimaginable strength in his current state.Alice didn't notice for a moment, and was pulled by him and almost ran into him.Mori Ogai's white light flashed between his fingers and he was about to shoot, but in the next second, his and Alice's pupils constricted at the same time.
"5000 billion...all, all for you!"
The old man was panting with difficulty, speaking in a voice that only the young girl could hear, with a smile, intermittently.
"The... eye of apprehension, not only... not only, sees things..."
"You...very, well..."
"He, when he was young...wasn't...that, that..."
"...You, want to... When it comes to... don't...
"no, do not want--"
When the old man said this, he suddenly pushed Alice away and coughed violently.
If it was said that he still vomited blood just now, now the blood is like a fountain flowing out of his five sense organs along with coughing.It even made people wonder if his internal organs had melted into blood.He was still holding Alice's wrist with one hand, so blood foam splashed on the girl's body from time to time, and even a few drops of scarlet splashed on the girl's cheek.
Right in front of Alice's eyes, Umezawa Kinzo's complexion quickly turned gray.Then, the blood-stained old man shook suddenly, let go of Alice's hand, and stopped moving.
Mori Ogai stretched out his hand and put it on the old man's neck. After counting for ten seconds, he spoke softly.
"Mr. Umezawa, already gone."
"I see."
"...Alice?"
"Ah, I'm fine."
——She just understood the old man's last words.
Alice looked up, then stood up.
——He said, "You have to do what you say, don't be like the predecessors."
The girl turned around and faced the venue.
——Suddenly, she wanted to understand a lot of things.
Compared to when she first appeared, her white dress is already in a mess.From the chest to the hem of the skirt was stained with thick and mottled bright red, and blood was all over the hands, even the coat and bare legs were stained with blood.
A slender girl with blond hair in a white dress, with a large patch of dazzling red.But as long as it is a person who has witnessed this scene, no one will feel that this posture is weak.Because the girl's azure eyes ignited with a sharp light that could even be described as flames.
"Everyone, Mr. Umezawa Kinzo has passed away."
She looked around at everyone present—whether it was the invited guests, her family members, or her subordinates.
She didn't make a request or give an order, but everyone who made eye contact with her responded involuntarily.Her subordinates lowered their guns, and the guests restrained their expressions.Mori Ogai carefully flattened Umezawa Kinzo's body and made him lie down, then stood up.
Nakaya took off his hat and pressed it on his chest. Even Edogawa Ranpo, who was not pointed at by the gun, stood up from his seat.
Fukuzawa Yukichi reached out and took off the beret on his head.
At some point, the seemingly indefatigable waltz background music also disappeared.
Alice's expression softened for a moment due to everyone's reaction, but then her voice suddenly became gloomy.
"As the witness of Mr. Umezawa's will, I need to give an explanation to the deceased. In view of the assassination of Mr. Umezawa a few minutes ago, please come back with my subordinates to have some tea."
Under the bright crystal chandelier, Alice spoke with a calm and almost cold expression.
"Any resistance will be seen as a provocation to PortMafia. Please don't challenge my patience."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked off the rostrum without stopping, and strode out of the banquet hall surrounded by several black suits.
The humanoid alien with black hair and red eyes watched her figure go farther and farther, until the flapping hem disappeared outside the door, Mori Ogai turned around, showing his signature, gentle smile.
"Then, gentlemen, please."
Under the light, he raised his right hand, his dark red eyes glowed like blood.
Under this gesture, all the black suits quickly raised their guns again, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed straight at the guests present.
