I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 14: That night, both Dazai and Mori had been drinking

Chapter 14 That night, both Dazai and Mori had been drinking

Many mafia members were still detained, but Yunxi and another group of mafia members were released.

That same night, another weapons depot was robbed.

Ozaki Kouyou swiftly replaced the personnel, conducting harsh interrogations and detentions. Once again, Yunxi wasn’t among them.

Yunxi felt that his good luck sometimes truly didn’t care whether its owner lived or died.

But it didn’t matter. Stealing one more weapons depot wasn’t bad—consider it thanks to the 10-point luck bonus from the big boss.

Finally, when Yunxi had nearly emptied the Port Mafia’s stored supplies, Ozaki Kouyou detained Yunxi along with several other mafia members.

This time, Ozaki Kouyou didn’t conduct interrogations.

After all, this was the last batch of suspects. If the culprit was truly among them, they would soon be exposed when unable to leave. There was no need for extra steps.

Yunxi was even more satisfied.

Nakahara Chuuya was clearly very agitated, but he didn’t stop Ozaki Kouyou, nor did he rashly speak up for Yunxi.

The thief’s actions were too severe to be handled lightly.

Now, everyone was waiting for the final outcome.

The time has come. Mori Ōgai glanced at the clock, his tone meaningful. The weapons depot is safe. It seems the thief…

Dazai, do you have any ideas already?

Dazai Osamu, remembering the strange subordinate around Nakahara Chuuya: Well, you could say that?

Mori Ōgai stood up: Then I’ll go with you to meet him.

*

This time, Mori Ōgai was prepared before speaking with Yunxi.

Not only did he keep Ozaki Kouyou away from Yunxi, he himself stood very far from Yunxi until Dazai Osamu touched Yunxi’s shoulder, confirming [No Longer Human] had taken effect, before stepping closer.

Mori Ōgai: Yunxi-kun?

Yunxi, who hadn’t removed his disguise yet, blinked.

Mori Ōgai: So it is you.

You previously didn’t want to join the Port Mafia, right? Mori Ōgai showed a troubled expression. So why now…

While pretending to listen seriously to the old man’s speech, Yunxi frantically used [Nimble Hands].

[Pastry Shop Commemorative Badge]? Draw again!

[Port Mafia Boss’s Hair]? Draw again! Again! Again!

Yunxi’s drawing speed grew faster and faster. If this operation weren’t happening on the game panel, Mori Ōgai might truly have been spun around like a top by Yunxi’s actions.

Good news: Soon, Yunxi stole [Arahabaki Intelligence]×1 and [Executive Rando Related Intelligence]×1.

Bad news: Yunxi was getting annoyed by the old man’s lecturing and accidentally clicked one more time, also stealing [Port Mafia Boss’s Red Scarf]×1.

Although this item was the first [Permit Sacrifice] item Yunxi had obtained from Dr. Mori, wasn’t this stolen item way too conspicuous?!

Mori Ōgai, now missing the scarf from his neck: .

He slowly looked down, then slowly looked up.

Their souls made eye contact.

Yunxi, embarrassed: Boss, it seems you’ve encountered a supernatural phenomenon.

Mori Ōgai’s temple twitched twice: Is that so? What wise suggestions do you have?

Yunxi: I think you should go pray at a temple.

Yunxi declared confidently: Of course, it’s the all-healing KFC Crazy Thursday!

Mori Ōgai: .

Feeling his dignity as a boss had been insulted, Mori Ōgai’s expression completely darkened.

Dazai Osamu immediately pressed a gun against Yunxi’s temple, while Ozaki Kouyou’s [Golden Demon] positioned itself in front of the boss. Other mafia members around them also placed their fingers on their triggers.

Just as the atmosphere grew tense enough that bloodshed seemed imminent the next second, Mori Ōgai’s voice rang out again.

Wait.

Less than a minute had passed, yet Mori Ōgai had already adjusted his expression to a gentle one:

Yunxi-kun, there’s no need to deliberately provoke me. We can have a proper conversation, can’t we?

Your ‘resurrection’ must come with a cost, right? You’re alone, but the Port Mafia can keep sending people to guard you…

Yunxi had been debating whether to continue stealing, but seeing the current situation, he realized continuing would likely bring more trouble than benefit.

Since he had already obtained the most important item, Yunxi didn’t plan to say more to the Port Mafia members.

He selected [Cement]×99 from his backpack and released it all at once!

Cement blocks came raining down from above. Just before being completely buried in cement, Yunxi, who was at the epicenter, flashed an exceptionally bold and unrestrained smile.

Haha, so what if I’m alone? Did you think you could capture me with firearms?

Yunxi loudly proclaimed: Bet you didn’t expect this, Master – the times actually haven’t changed at all!

BOOM!

Port Mafia members: !!!

Alice quickly appeared, pulling Mori Ōgai back to safety. The Golden Demon briefly shielded the retreating Dazai Osamu from the falling weight before being crushed by cement and disappearing.

As for Yunxi?

The moment he released the cement, Yunxi had simultaneously dug down [Earth]×100, using the force of the cement to bury himself underground.

Then, the instant he resurrected from death, Yunxi retrieved [Cement]×99 and released [Earth]×99 to prevent Port Mafia from discovering information about him through the cement he had collected.

Having temporarily escaped successfully, Yunxi checked his backpack and found it somewhat insufficient.

He discarded the useless items he had stolen from Mori Ōgai.

For caution’s sake, Yunxi dug [Earth]×100 tunnels in all eight directions around him.

BOOM!

Eight complete tunnels opened up, but Yunxi didn’t choose any of them. Instead, he continued digging downward, reaching a deeper position before randomly selecting a direction to escape.

The journey went smoothly, with no mafia members catching up to Yunxi.

Of course, this might also be because they didn’t dare to dig underground recklessly.

After all, this land supported their building!

What if they accidentally collapsed the building while digging?

They could only pray that the Esper would eventually help them refill the land, otherwise they’d have to… carefully dig and fill it themselves.

Meanwhile, underground in Yokohama.

Yunxi dug for a long time, making countless turns… until finally, he found a relatively safe location.
Yunxi killed every living creature around him, even the eyeless earthworms were no exception. After dealing with everything, he finally clamped the flashlight between his teeth and opened the two pieces of intelligence stolen from Mori Ōgai.

Yunxi murmured, Nakahara Chuuya is an artificial deity—the Arahabaki that’s been causing such a stir in Yokohama. Well, I’d already guessed that back when I was in the Sheep.

When a game has a bunch of ordinary NPCs shouting You’re not human! at an important NPC, it could only mean that NPC truly wasn’t human.

Quite a cliché plot.

The second document was about Rando, or rather, Arthur Rimbaud.

Who was this guy again? I don’t think I ever heard anyone mention him much back in the Port Mafia…

Yunxi, who had been completely nonchalant just moments before, widened his eyes abruptly upon turning to the next page: A Transcendent who’s already dead?!

Yunxi was no longer in a hurry to flee. He decisively changed course and rushed toward the location of Rimbaud’s remains.

If Yunxi didn’t steal from him now, it would be a disservice to his own pitch-black conscience!

Following the intelligence, Yunxi soon arrived beneath Rimbaud’s coffin.

He began using [Nimble Hands] on the person inside through the coffin.

[Rimbaud’s Ear Muffs] ×1, [Permit Sacrifice]; [Rimbaud’s Gloves] ×1, [Permit Sacrifice]; [Rimbaud’s…

The more he stole, the more he acquired, all of them warm-keeping items. Even Yunxi couldn’t help but marvel at how good it was to be bundled up so thoroughly.

Too bad the guy was dead. If he had encountered a CEO offering 10 million per piece of clothing removed while alive, he would have been blessed.

Just like that, Yunxi collected a full set of thermal gear. But after using [Nimble Hands] one last time, he suddenly found himself locking eyes with a translucent version of Rimbaud.

The other seemed to be attached to a diary, but he possessed the ability to think and wasn’t just some high-tech hologram.

Yunxi stumbled half a step back in fright, then quickly forced himself to stand steady, warily tossing an [Appraisal] at the Rimbaud before him.

[Singularity Left Behind by Arthur Rimbaud After Death] ×1.

Damn, he’d stolen a real male ghost.

Yunxi began considering how to retreat and whether a Singularity left by a Transcendent possessed Transcendent-level power. But before he could act, the golden soul in front of him, after a brief daze, spoke up on its own: Yunxi-kun?

As soon as Yunxi opened his mouth, the other’s next words followed immediately: Would you like to make a deal?

Yunxi: You won’t hold it against me for taking your things, you’re willing to share some intelligence about places outside Yokohama, and I’ll deliver you to Nakahara Chuuya. That’s the deal, right?

Singularity Rimbaud: Yes.

Yunxi said bluntly, Fine, I agree.

With the agreement reached, Yunxi casually stuffed the Transcendent Singularity into his coat pocket and resumed digging.

The Singularity Rimbaud waited for a long time, only to find Yunxi still digging. He finally couldn’t resist floating out: What are you doing?

Yunxi: Evading pursuers.

Singularity Rimbaud: Why are there pursuers?

Yunxi: Because I emptied the Port Mafia’s armory.

Singularity Rimbaud studied Yunxi for a while but still couldn’t figure it out, so he simply asked directly: How did you empty it?

Yunxi thought for a moment. Since this Transcendent seemed quite reasonable and decent, he randomly picked a small organization and painstakingly dug his way into their warehouse.
Yunxi reached out his hand: “Just like this, steal…
Yunxi’s voice trailed off.

Because the items in this small organization’s arsenal were truly too messy, Yunxi only managed to steal two guns this time.

Having worked so hard to dig his way up, Yunxi instantly broke his composure. Not caring whether he would be caught by the Port Mafia now, he jumped out abruptly and directly activated attack mode.

The few guards, until they were knocked unconscious, had no idea what they had done to provoke this strange youth.

Rimbaud didn’t know either.

Fortunately, Yunxi would answer himself: “Why are the firearms kept in such a mess? How am I supposed to take them? Do you think I’m Mus○shī? Able to carry eight at once? Speak!
Rimbaud: …

He retreated back into his diary and began slowly contemplating his life as both the human Rimbaud and the singularity Rimbaud.

And while Rimbaud was contemplating life, Yunxi started digging again.

Yunxi dug with such passion and recklessness that his mind was filled only with the joy of digging pits.

But Yunxi still vaguely remembered what he needed to do. He randomly chose a spot and dug upward until his phone could receive a signal.

Yunxi refreshed his air supply again, then edited a message asking Gogol where he was and if it was convenient to meet for the transaction now. If convenient, please quickly reply with the location, as his mole-like boyfriend would arrive promptly.

But just as Yunxi finished sending the message, a small patch of earth directly above him began to shift and move aside as if alive.

Yunxi: !

An Esper who can manipulate earth… Who sent you?

Yunxi warily raised his weapon toward the opening, only to meet a pair of friendly amethyst eyes.

“Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.” The man with amethyst eyes smiled and extended his hand. “I am Gogol-kun’s companion, Yunxi-kun, come up and talk.
Yunxi looked at the man but made no move to respond.

The man seemed puzzled: “Yunxi-kun?
Yunxi continued sizing him up.

From the man’s amethyst eyes, to his sickly but overall still healthy-looking physique, to the strange dark aura around him that persisted even when he smiled…

Yunxi couldn’t hold back: “That night, Dr. Mori and Dazai Osamu both got drunk.
Fyodor: ???

It’s okay if you haven’t read it, I’ve brought the synopsis along!

[Ju Tang] Synopsis:

Xia Meng, a streamer on a certain platform, was recommended by her top fan to try a holographic game called “Yokohama Literary Great Turmoil,” which clearly involved battling with pens.

At the start, she needed to choose a special ability… so she picked [Book], which seemed most related to “literary masters”!

Wait! How did she suddenly become invincible?!

Comments: [Streamer, you’re cheating, this is really not fun. I don’t mind personally, but one of my buddies is really breaking down…]

A very arrogant guy appeared in Yokohama.

He would enthusiastically chat with passersby, but also fight to the death over trivial matters, and even forcibly strip people’s clothes…

According to a certain bandaged passerby’s testimony, if he hadn’t been wearing bandages underneath that day, he would have long lost the face to live in this world.

The actual Xia Meng: “Thank you Masters for the tips! Let’s see what our streamer will show everyone today!

As a streamer who truly spoils her fans, Xia Meng would briefly share with her audience whenever she encountered NPCs she liked.

The first day she met Shibusawa.

Xia Meng: “One deep-water torpedo to explore my white-haired wife’s home.
The second day.

Xia Meng: “One submarine torpedo to explore my white-haired wife’s home.
The third day.

Xia Meng: “One comment message to explore my white-haired wife’s home.
Comments: [Alright alright… you’re not even pretending anymore?!]

Day N.

Xia Meng: “Hello everyone, today we’re not exploring my white-haired wife’s home.
Comments: [Isn’t that because you’re already in your white-haired wife’s home? Damn it, when did this brat actually move in?
