October 18th, Tuesday. Who cares if it's sunny or rainy.

Yūki took a day off today.

For her, every day was a holiday. She could go back to school after a day off.

She did plan to go back to school after a few days of rest, although there was no point in going back to school.

She had already learned all the knowledge this semester. At the end of the semester, she only needed to consolidate and revise.

Even if she failed the exam, she could go home and search for the answer. Then she would repeat the whole day until she was 100% sure.

Her cheating method was unparalleled, and no one could catch her. Naturally, she was very arrogant.

Moreover, she was about to move out of this town. Yūki didn't care much about the opinions of the teachers and students in school.

The ones who were a little reluctant to leave were probably the landlord's Chie and the class's Kyoko.

They were both pure and good girls. They were Yūki's daily comforts.

She said she was resting, but when it was time to rest, she didn't know what to do.

Yesterday, she went to beat up the guy who gave Qing Meng a good beating. He should have been eliminated by the power behind the Sawada family.

That kind of person was obviously a small boss on the path of the main character of a shonen manga. He might be wiped clean, or he might be kicked to god knows where.

Yūki took out her phone. It was ten o 'clock in the morning.

How about going to Fuyuki to play with Lily … No, she might still be at work on weekdays. It might be even more boring if she went.

— — Xiao Xiao entered the chat room — —

[Xiao Xiao: I'm resting today. I'm so bored. Is there anyone who wants to play with me?]

[Seton: Xiao Xiao, aren't you a student?

Is there a special day today?]

[Xiao Xiao: Ah, Seton!!

Anyway, it's just some boring things. So I'm resting today. _ (: з 」 ∠) _]

[Gan Le: If you're bored, do you want to come to Ikebukuro to play?

Speaking of which, many people in the chat room are in Ikebukuro ww]

[Xiao Xiao: Really?

I haven't been online much recently. I haven't met anyone. QAQ]

[Seton: Ikebukuro is quite chaotic recently. I don't recommend Xiao Xiao to play at this time.

It's best if you come during the day and leave on the same day.]

[Xiao Xiao: Isn't Ikebukuro in a mess???

There seems to be a Headless Horseman. Is that true or false?]

[Seton: Hmm … You can come here and take a look.

I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave first.]

Seton left the chat room.

[Xiao Xiao: … Eh, this again?

Is it just me and Gan Le again?]

[Gan Le: Aiyaya, Xiao Xiao, do you hate me?

This is really upsetting ~]

[Xiao Xiao: … Wow.]

[Xiao Xiao left the chat room.]

In the past, he used to see people talking about Ikebukuro in the chat room. He thought it was a good place, but it turned out to be a messy place.

However, did Gan Le really not have any self-awareness???

After thinking about it, Yūki found the address of the detective agency that Lily had given her.

She would go and test it out first. If she had the time next time, she should be able to find out a lot of information.

Moreover, there was no normal information about this detective agency on the Internet. More than half of it was rumors and urban legends. It was similar to the Headless Horseman in Ikebukuro.

After making the decision, Yūki quickly changed into what looked like a gangster's clothes and hurried out.

Yokohama … Ah, isn't that a messy place?

*

According to the rumors on the internet, Yokohama seemed to have all kinds of strange things happening all the time. There were always mafia fights on the roadside, and the higher-ups often had some conflicts with the mafia. It sounded like a place that was not peaceful.

In such a chaotic place, there was an armed detective agency.

It was said that it was an organization that specialized in dealing with special cases that the higher-ups couldn't handle.

They had doctors, detectives, and decent combat skills. Thus, they were able to stand firm in Yokohama, where danger lurked in every corner.

In Yūki's opinion, this place was similar to Bodo.

Bodo had a lot of connections, and Yokohama was full of gangs.

And in a place like this, there was Japan's number one detective … To be honest, if it wasn't for Lily's guarantee, Yūki wouldn't have believed it.

Without making an appointment, Yūki finally walked into the detective agency.

There were busy staff, idle people resting, and people leisurely drinking tea in the corner.

It didn't fit Yūki's impression of Yokohama at all. It looked more like a white-collar office. The idle people were idle, and the busy people were very busy.

"Tea or drink?"

The person who received Yūki was a high school girl with long black hair. She led Yūki to the reception area, and from time to time, she would turn sideways to block Yūki's inquisitive gaze.

"Is there milk?"

"Ah, yes, there is." The high school girl nodded and quickly glanced at Yūki's head.

It had never been mentioned before, but Yūki's height was quite shocking.

The average height of the girls in first year's class was less than 160 cm, but she alone was 169 cm. She sat in the back of the classroom all year round.

Although she had baby fat on her face, her height meant that no one would suspect her if she went out in her high school uniform.

Not to mention, she specifically chose a nice outfit for today. People would believe her if she said she was a university student.

And Yūki always believed that with her special body, she might have a model's height of 180 cm by the end of her growth period.

Mhmm, just thinking about it made her happy.

The high school girl handed Yūki a cup of hot milk and sat across from Yūki. She softly asked, "Ms. Komori, what are you here to discuss?"

"I'm here to find a detective from your agency. I need him to help me investigate something," Yūki replied.

The high school girl nodded and asked a few more questions before she got up to call the detective.

She didn't know if she brought enough money this time.

Yūki touched her small bag and began to worry if the detective agency's asking price was as overbearing and violent as Yokohama's. She didn't have much money in her stash.

Mhmm, the milk tastes good.

Yūki sent a message to Lily. She looked at the scenery outside the window and waited for the detective to appear.

The detective agency was located on the fourth floor of an old building. The view from here wasn't very good. There were tall buildings all around and there was a commercial street below.

But the old building did have the charm of an old building. The air was a bit humid, but it was very calming.

However, this famous detective didn't seem like the kind of old gentleman that Xiji had imagined.

A young man wearing a beret opened the door to take a look. When he saw Yūki, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He immediately turned around and shouted, "Taizai, come with me!" Then, the young man walked in and sat across from Yūki.

This detective seemed to be much younger than expected.

Yūki, who had misguessed, nervously drank another mouthful of milk.

The person called Taizai was a tall and lazy young man. After he walked in with a puzzled expression, he immediately smiled and walked to Yūki's side. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Miss as beautiful as the cherry blossoms in the morning, are you interested in going to hell with me?"

Yūki:???

Let's not talk about this awkward conversation topic for now. Yūki was quite happy to hear the latter part, so she nodded and answered with a bright smile, "Sure."

"Huh?" Taizai was the one who was stunned.

"Really?

I mean, the kind of suicide for love? "

"Okay, where are we going?

In what way?

If you want to poison me, I have some with me. If you want to jump off a building, four floors won't be enough.

If you don't mind, I can accompany you. After all, you'll be the one to die first. "He added with a bright smile.

Taizai: Why isn't he playing by the rules???

"Ahem."

Disorderly Step, who was watching the farce, coughed twice and changed the topic. "Taizai, be careful. I didn't ask you to come in for this.

Also, he's telling the truth. It won't be fun if you fall. "

Hearing this, Taizai stood behind the detective with a smile.

He looked relaxed, but his movements showed that he was on high alert.

Yūki looked at all this and understood that Disorderly Step was quite capable. She quickly said, "Mr. Edogawa, are you really the number one detective in Japan who can solve any case?"

"Hmph, of course!" Disorderly Step rubbed his nose childishly and looked proud.

"I'm much better than those stupid policemen. Tell me what you're here for."

"Okay." Yūki smiled and took out a newspaper clipping from her small bag.

It was clipped from a newspaper six years ago. It was a report of the car accident. It only briefly mentioned the road and time of the accident, as well as the almost uninjured child and the missing adult.

At that time, the incident didn't cause much of a stir. After searching for two days, Komori's mother was determined to have been eaten by a passing beast. Moreover, at that time, the relationship with Yūki's father's family was severed. They couldn't contact Komori's family, so the case was closed hastily.

Disorderly Step finished reading the briefing and looked up at Yūki, waiting for her to speak.

"I'm a survivor of the car accident. I hope you can help me deduce what happened during the accident and the relationship between this incident and my eyes."

Before Yūki could finish speaking, Disorderly Step said to Taizai, who was behind him, "Did you hear that? She's only fourteen this year.

What you did just now was completely harassing a minor. You'll be killed by society.

That's great, Taizai. Your wish has come true. "

Taizai:???

Why did it feel like he was being targeted today?

"Then, what's with your eyes?

Superpowers? "Disorderly Step asked.

Yūki blinked. She didn't know what this superpower was, so she shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure.

Ever since the accident, my eyes have turned pink. Before that, they were magenta.

Also, I'm not sure if this superpower has anything to do with my eyes. "

"Superpower?"

"Yes, the superpower of not dying."

"…"

The two of them were silent for a few seconds. Disorderly Step asked first, "In this world, there's no such thing as immortality. If there was, something would've happened long ago. Explain your superpower in detail."

Even in this messy world, it was impossible for ordinary people to have a superpower like immortality. This superpower was far beyond other superpowers. From a biological point of view, it was absolutely impossible.

Perhaps some magical creatures could live for a long time, but they were definitely not creatures like humans.

Yūki nodded and began to briefly explain her superpower.

To put it simply, it was a cycle of death.

A continuous cycle of death, one could only enter a new day when one died.

With Lily's conjecture, Yūki vaguely felt that her eyes might not have much to do with the cycle of death. However, the cycle of death only happened after the accident, so she couldn't help but think more about it.

The superpower of her eyes should be focused on strengthening her body. For example, her eyes turned red after beating up Skeleton yesterday. She guessed that her eyes turned red when she was agitated or exhausted a lot of her energy.

But if it wasn't her eyes, then what was with the cycle of death?

"This is really a rare superpower.

According to what you said, your eyes are related to snakes? "Disorderly Step asked after listening to her explanation.

Although there were many strange abilities in this world, this was the first time he had heard of an ability that involved the entire world's time.

Yūki nodded again, "I can only be sure that my eyes are related to snakes. I'm not sure about the relationship between snakes and the cycle of death.

I just heard that my eyes turn red every day after I die, so I think there's a connection. "

She continued to talk about her speculations about her eyes and superpowers. She mainly focused on the fact that she never felt anything wrong with her body and that no one knew about her death.

Anyway, she would come again, so she didn't have to worry about leaking her secrets.

She just didn't know if these two people would be able to help her.

*

It was unexpected, or rather, it was beyond Yūki's expectations.

She felt that she had thought of a lot of things. She was excellent in all aspects, but she was limited to the age of fourteen.

But Disorderly Step's inference was much more shocking than she thought.

"In other words, my cycle of death is above most superpowers, so no one discovered it. But this superpower has nothing to do with that snake?"

Yūki pressed her forehead. She didn't know where this big shot came from, but she had to digest it first.

Disorderly Step nodded and started to play with marbles, "If your information is true, then the snake will only give you one superpower. Do you still remember what your wish was?"

When she was eight years old …?

"I was sick and weak, so I might have wished for a healthy body in my next life before I died … I guess."

In that case, it matched her situation.

"As for your other superpower, there's too little information, so it's not under the jurisdiction of the military investigation.

It's a world-level superpower. Even my intelligence can't surpass it. "

Disorderly Step ended with this sentence. He shrugged and said to Yūki, "And I suspect that your superpower has nothing to do with the car accident. It's just that the time of your death was close to the car accident. Go back and think about what else happened."

Simply put, what happened to Yūki was incompatible with their worldview, so the processor couldn't analyze it.

This conclusion made Yūki sigh. She even felt a subtle sense of satisfaction.

However, the person behind Disorderly Step suddenly said, "Here's a question. Little girl, do you still have consciousness after death?"

The handsome young man said frivolously, "Maybe it wasn't you in your body, but the snake?"

"Maybe. I heard that most of the time, I just went back to sleep and didn't communicate with others …"

"Then it should be the snake. The snake might not have left after giving you the superpower, so it stayed in your body and came out to breathe after death." Disorderly Step concluded.

'Breathe?'

This statement was a little shocking to Yūki. She pressed her forehead again and tried to say, "So there are actually two consciousnesses in my body, but I never knew about it?"

This made sense to the 'me' in the dream who knew everything. It was because there was another person living in my body that I chased Skeleton out so angrily.

It turned out that it was a snake that was loyal to its master. It seemed that she had underestimated the enthusiasm of cold-blooded animals.

"If it's possible, can you ask Miss Yūki to let the snake come out on the spot?" Taizai continued to ask with a smile.

Let her go to the second day?

Yūki thought about it for a long time. She finished the glass of milk in one gulp, wiped her mouth, and said, "I'm not sure how long it will take for the changes to happen after I die. It should be about 30 minutes. You have to think about how to deal with the scene."

However, the people in Yokohama shouldn't be afraid of this problem. Yūki thought that they might have seen more corpses than her. The whole place had a gangster-like atmosphere, and it couldn't help but feel that it was incomparably sociable.

Seeing Taizai nod, Yūki didn't say anything else. She took out a small box from her bag, and there were a few cherry blossoms in it.

Her face was ashen, and she said with a throbbing pain in her stomach, "This is the poison. I'll try to choose a way to die that's easy for you to deal with."

Then, she carefully ate one.

Instant Explosion

My Typing Belt

Blank Space

Grass Cannot Be Avoided

Seeing that Yūki was very used to eating and swallowing another mouthful, Taizai was still a little suspicious.

Then, there was a faint sound of an explosion coming from the girl's body. She fell on the table, bleeding from all orifices like a ghost movie.

"Dead." Disorderly Step said with certainty.

"Mhmm." Taizai responded.

There was no point in staying for the next thirty minutes. Without knowing whether what the girl said was true or not, especially when life and death were at stake, Taizai and Disorderly Step didn't dare to leave the place.

However, nothing happened to the corpse during the thirty minutes.

Other than scaring Naomi, who came in to refill the tea, almost nothing happened. It was just an ordinary corpse that had been poisoned to death.

But the strange thing was, just thirty minutes later —

The Grand Chancellor blinked and asked in confusion, "Then are you going to leave now?

You still don't understand anything. "

The girl opposite him nodded without saying a word.

"Your ability is so special. Do you want to consider working for our detective agency?"

She shook her head and remained silent.

At this time, Disorderly Step, who was thinking, seemed to have finally noticed something. He asked vigilantly, "By the way, when did your eyes turn red?

You've already died once? "Why didn't he remember that the color of her eyes changed?

This person had been sitting in front of him all this time.

The girl with red snake eyes was sitting there in a long dress. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were unfocused. She was like a corpse.

Hearing this, her solemn zombie face finally loosened a little.

Then, the two heard stiff words, as if she was learning to speak for the first time.
