Chapter 123: Sick Thoughts

"Geez... It's like the whole case with Sc/n all over again." Akiko sighed.

Me, her, and Ranpo were viewing the bodies in her treatment room.

We were looking at the body that was hung and hit with an axe.

"All we can do is find bodies that Ranpo can't understand... And find a ton more." She sighed again and covered the body's face with a blanket.

I looked down and noticed a drop of blood hit the floor.

I rolled up my sleeve and noticed the deep cut was bleeding again. So was my palm.

"Y/n. Did you hurt yourself again?" Akiko grabbed both of my hands.

"It doesn't hurt. Don't worry." I said, "We should be focusing on the case and not my arm and hand." I pulled my hands away and rolled my sleeve down.

She nodded and looked back at the body. "It'd be easier if we could get a better visual on this case.."

I then remembered something.

I grabbed a small vial from my pocket. It had B/n's blood in it.

I opened the vial and put a drop of blood on my finger.

"Is that B/n's blood?" Akiko asked.

I nodded.

Akiko uncovered the body. I touched the body's forehead.

"The Last Hour."

I saw the man while hanging. He was struggling and had both hands on the rope around his neck.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" The man shouted, "I CAN GIVE YOU MONE-"

An axe was thrown at his head.

I realized I was still in the room with Akiko and Ranpo.

"Well?" Ranpo asked.

"He was killed by the axe hitting his head. Not by the hanging." I said.

"Did you see the killer's hands?"

"No. It was thrown at his head."

Ranpo nodded.

"Also.. he was asking why they were doing this... So I guess there might not be an alibi.."

"That explains a lot." Ranpo said, "The killings must be warnings... But there's always an alibi. We just don't know it."

"Okay... I have to go get something." I said.

"Oh, okay." Akiko said.

I walked out of the room. I was about to walk out of the Agency until whenever I felt a hand gently grab my shoulder. I stopped and looked behind me.

"Y/n... I noticed your arm was bleeding in the meeting room.." Dazai looked worried. "Your palm's bleeding right now too."

"Don't worry, Osamu. It'll heal soon." I said.

"Your palm's been bleeding for a while, Y/n. I'm just worried."

"It's okay. I'll get this cleaned. I'm sure my ability will know why."

"Y/n... You're ability has caused you so much harm to your body. It makes you faint out of the blue, you bleed like crazy and throw up blood as well.... Are you even sure your ability is good?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I felt a little offended. "My ability can protect me."

He was about to say something.

"Dazai." F/n was beside the meeting room.

Dazai sighed and let go of my shoulder. "Just be careful. Those killings are making me think you're next or something... Promise me you'll be careful."
