disqualified hero

Mori Ogai thought mockingly: [I just came to watch the show, how can I get a job as a forensic doctor? ]

If he was asked to take care of the patients, Mori Ogai would not have any complaints. After all, he is also a doctor who has received formal training and took the Hicratic oath. He has patrolled several times in the wars in Afghanistan, North Africa and Iraq. Patients have the most basic love and compassion. If they meet a dying patient on a plane or other means of transportation, even if his mouth is full of filth, he will spare no effort to save his life. .

But now...

He wears rubber gloves, and tries to avoid contact with the greasy human skin with his two fingers. Of course, the avoidance is invisible, and no layman can see it.Sen Ou looked through the wreckage of the poor man pretendingly, and announced to the other guests in a circle: "Unfortunately, he died so badly."

"I think anyone with eyes can see it, Dr. Sen." The person who answered was also polite, but the content of his words was not too polite, "What we want to know is this..." He was not sure what to use for a while An adjective, saying that it is a corpse is too blasphemous to humans, it looks completely humanless, "Is the liquid in its body corrosive?"

"Looking at the rubber gloves on my hand, there should be none, or its corrosiveness must not react to rubber."

"But its bones and internal organs are obviously dissolved, right?" Another person said.

"Indeed." Mori Ogai said politely, "The reason needs to be investigated in detail. Even I have never seen this type of corpse."

Osamu Dazai hid in the crowd, and added appropriately: "It's almost like injecting venom directly into the body."

The crowd cast their eyes on him, and he read fear, hatred, and suspicion.

"Is what I said wrong?" Osamu Dazai smiled. In many cases, a smile is more frightening than a mournful face. This time he tried his best to direct the fear to the unknown instead of himself. , the first contact must be the skin, look, more than half of his hard bones have melted, and the skin is still intact, at most, the inside is soaked in liquid, which is a bit too wet."

[Poison... is it food? ]

[No, if it is food, why some people died while others were still healthy. ]

[Am I poisoned? ]

[No, not necessarily food, there are other possibilities. ]

[On this ship...]

[Mr. KK seems to be very irritable recently. ]

[Hey, after the book appeared. ]

[He may have given everything for a few illusory pages and received nothing in return. ]

[The question now is, what did he pay for. ]

His gaze replaced words, and he moved through the crowd. Osamu Dazai looked at other people, and he could almost divide the people present into blocks by the movement of his eyes. Finally, he raised his head, looked over the crowd, and revealed a small, Smile without emotion.

He mouthed: Please advise, Mr. Karamazov.

……

"Ah." Mori Ogai beat his left shoulder with his right hand as if he was exhausted, complaining to Osamu Dazai like an office worker who had worked hard all day, "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that I would have to work after boarding the ship, and It’s the corpse of the disgusting uncle, I thought I was here on vacation.” He said, “If Dazai-kun didn’t ask you, I wouldn’t be able to get close just to see the puddle of pus on the ground.”

Osamu Dazai nodded and said, "Thank you, Sen-senpai."

An hour ago.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

Someone is knocking on the door.

Mori Ogai opened the door while yawning, and saw Dazai Osamu behind the door without any surprise. He took a nap and slept with his clothes closed, so his clothes were disheveled. You don't need to be too delicate in front of you, just rub your eyes, put on a decadent uncle's face and say: "What can you do with me, Dazai-kun."

"There is something, I hope the senior can help."

[Ah, no, Dazai's help must be very troublesome. ] Mori Ogai thought in embarrassment, [I just want to be an inconspicuous speck of dust on the ship, and live well until I get off the ship. If Dazai-senpai drags me into trouble, this little wish will probably not come true. ]

Instinctively, he began to find excuses to refuse: "Dazai-kun, look..."

"If you help me, just treat it as if I owe my senior a favor."

"what?"

"In "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", Japan is called the world of human feelings, I think it is very reasonable." Osamu Dazai said, "Even if I am not too evasive in terms of human feelings and giri, I did not say that Lie, Sen-senpai."

"In that case, there is nothing we can do." Mori Ogai immediately changed his words, "If there is anything to do in the future, please ask Chief Dazai for convenience." With his resourcefulness, he has already guessed which side Dazai Ogai is working for.

"Where."

The two foxes faced each other and laughed.

"So, what job do you have for me?" Mori asked while walking outside.

"It's not a big deal. To be specific, I probably need you, Senior Sen, as a witness."

"witness?"

"Among the people on board, there are Sen-senpai's guests, right?"

"You think too highly of my medical skills." He said humbly, "I'm just a barefoot quack doctor, how can I see a big man, if I really want to say, I've only met two or three people face to face, see It is not they who are being treated, but women and children who are not valued."

"That's too bad." Osamu Dazai put on a surprised face, "Mori-senpai, your disgraceful occupation is probably going to spread among the crowd."

"It's not respectable." Sen said with a sad face, "It's also a career for the middle class, so it's too much to say."

"There is no way, Sen-senior, in their eyes, doctors are the service industry, so there is such a term as family doctor."

"However, on a ship, a doctor is a rare occupation."

"Impossible, Dazai-kun." Mori Ogai said, "I heard that His Excellency Karamazov's medical team is extremely excellent, and many of them are ace doctors poached from well-known teams."

"But that is Karamazov's team, not everyone is willing to give their lives to other people's control." Osamu Dazai blinked slyly, "Compared with doctors with clear positions, neutral doctors are the fewest now, aren't they? ?"

30 minutes ago.

"Gambling is not my strong point." Mori told the truth. Compared with Dazai and the others who can use casinos as cash machines, he is just an ordinary person, and he wins and loses when he enters a casino. He is quite self-controlled. Having said that, except for his love of young girls, Mori Ogai is almost a perfect person without any bad habits.

"Don't worry," Dazai Osamu said, but sat down in front of the pachinko machine at the door, "I didn't ask you to gamble, we just want to wait here for a while."

Explain the location of the entertainment facilities on this floor. There is a spacious corridor between the casino and the bar. There are two doors on each wall. The doors are also staggered, not facing each other.

"How long will it take?"

"Ten minutes."

"It's terrible, Dazai." Mori Ogai said, "Do you know what's going to happen?"

"How could it be?" A series of small steel balls rolled out of the Pachinko machine. Before he finished speaking, Osamu Dazai opened another row of Lizhi. Skills, no matter whether it is attributed to strong luck or calculation power, are so terrifying that Mori Ogai was terrified after watching it, thinking: [Did he see the future? ]

Extreme reasoning ability = predicting the future, Dazai must be such a person.

10 minutes ago.

Mori Ogai should have heard a strange sound. They are the closest to the corridor. Although there are two rows of pachinko machines in the casino, only Dazai is sitting here doing nothing. , For the other wealthy people in the arena, this small amount of money is not enough to stick between their teeth. After all, this kind of game is designed for ordinary people. Who are the people who play them, housewives, frustrated office workers, delinquent youths, etc. wait……

"Outside." He wasn't sure if he heard everything, the casino was not quiet at all, especially nearby, there were electronic sounds everywhere, "Is there any sound outside?"

"Let's go out later." Osamu Dazai stared at the game interface, "Wait another 5 minutes, wait for them to leave the scene, wait for no one to catch up with them."

Foreign Minister Mori Ou sighed and said: "Look at you, you know everything. I really wonder why I have to find someone else to come with me."

"Of course it's because I can't do anything alone." Dazai said, "You see, some things can't be done without knowing it. The reason why the collective exists is to fill the vacancy that individuals cannot fill." He said , "Even if I have supernatural powers, I am not as powerful as a shadow or a body. It is only natural to find helpers.

Mori Ogai exclaimed, "It's really rare."

"What?" "I mean, at Dazai-kun's age, it's rare for a person to understand so much. A genius is a creature that tends to be self-contained, thinking that he can handle everything without the help of outsiders, so he has to take a detour." Or if you hit the south wall and realize your failure, you will change."

"Listening to Sen-senpai's words, it seems to be from the bottom of my heart."

"Ha, if you say yes." Mori Ogai said with a wry smile, "I'm not a genius."

[Especially in front of you. ]

5 minutes ago.

"What is this—!!" Different from the screams that pierced the sky that were heard in the past, Dazai's ears were only shouted at a slightly louder volume. Even he had to affirm the quality of the guests, in terms of calmness One by one.

There were quite a few people who heard the cries for help. He and Mori Ogai opened the door first, and the tragic scene was passed through the open door appropriately. The bottom looks like a nail has been pierced through, nailed to the carpet motionless, as for the people who come out of the tavern, they are drunk, God knows why they fell into intoxication, is it alcohol, sex, or drugs?

In any case, when they saw a puddle of fur on the ground, their confused minds became sober, and the waiters on the boat rushed over almost as soon as they heard the shouts. , but knew that the corpse could not be placed here, and wanted to clean it up as soon as his face changed, but was stopped by the gentleman present.

"Please wait a moment." The man in the gray vest said, "Please wait, let our doctor take a look." I don't know if there is a doctor, so let's block the people who want to destroy the corpse first.

The others more or less understood what he meant, and they all helped to stop the waiter on the boat.

"Doctor, doctor." The man in the waistcoat shouted, "Does anyone have a license to practice medicine?"

Mori Ogai was launched under such circumstances.

"Oh, isn't this Dr. Sen?"

"I remember that your medical skills are very good."

"No, no, you've praised it." The adult wearing the white big hexagram squeezed to the front of the stage under the half push and half push of the people around him. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he should be very reluctant.

"Ah, are you Dr. Sen?" No matter who knows him or not, they all said in a familiar tone at the moment, "Can you do us a favor, Dr. Sen, this gentleman, I can't tell His name, but as you have seen, he is lying here, in a very tragic posture, and we agree that the appearance of his body is abnormal, and this abnormality is likely to affect us, at least Find out the cause of his death." The person who spoke was obviously the most energetic in this circle, and he almost forced him to say, "I solemnly invite you, for the sake of the health of everyone here, to see how he died. For what reason."

[Persecution. ] Mori Ogai thought, [This is a naked and ugly coercion, but if anyone is here, there is nothing they can do except agree, not to mention that I was brought here for the inspection of the corpse. It's the mission that Dazai gave me. ]

"Okay." He was dejected, like a plucked rooster, and reluctantly agreed to the unknown man's request. In the next time, he took out the rubber gloves he carried with him, Mori Ogai told others, This is his "occupational disease". The capitalists accepted his statement without any grievances, and did not find anything wrong. Only Mori Ogai mocked in his heart: [The scalpel can also be said to be for self-protection, rubber gloves, No kidding, who would carry it with them except a clean freak? ]

And how could he be a clean freak living in a slum.

He first checked the unknown person's body and found that his organs and bones were corroded and turned into strange pus. Then he spread his skin and finally found a hole through the neck. Mori Ogai announced that he died of An assassination, the people around took a breath because of this, it was not a pretentious performance, but the realization that their lives were really threatened.

There was a buzzing sound coming from Osamu Dazai's ear, he saw people's panicked faces, heard their whispers, there were assassins for unknown ways of death.

"The assassin must be found." The leader announced forcefully, "And how he died, we need an explanation."

He was smart enough to know that it was impossible to keep a corpse, and who would want to keep a disgusting piece of skin, so he could only put pressure on him, and he let Karamazov out, and the others followed him and nodded.

Mori Ogai took a step back and disappeared into the crowd, while Dazai stood there with a smile all the time, his presence was low to those around him, but to Karamazov it was as high as a bright light, The man behind the screen took two exaggerated breaths, panting angrily, with his nose wings wide open, and roared to the people around him: "I want to know where he was just now!" The assassin is the source of all evil to destroy his plan.

Those who died unexpectedly could not become his strength, he only absorbed one-third of the vitality from the unknown person, and the remaining two-thirds disappeared with his death.

[I want compensation. ]

[I want this brat who killed a thousand swords to compensate me! ]

……

"Now you can tell me who did it." Mori Ogai and Dazai Osamu walked on the deck, facing the salty sea breeze, seaweed, fishy smell and the body odor of seagulls, they mixed together to form a It was a scent full of vitality unique to the sea. Neither of them had the habit of wearing perfume. They were bathed in the wind and smelled very good.

Even if Karamazov plastered the ship with monitoring devices, there would be no such devices on the deck, because the other side of it is the sea, and it is impossible for man to control the sea, as we have not yet conquered nature.

"Hey, that's too much." Osamu Dazai scolded, "It sounds like I'm the mastermind behind the scenes, obviously we were in the tavern at the time, weren't we?"

"Aren't you?" Mori Ogai said, "The most superficial guess is that you have guessed the development process and seen the future, but in this matter, I can guess more deeply. I have a premonition that behind the development of fate There are hands pushing silently, these hands are from the gods, are they the goddess of fate?" He said, "I'm sorry Dazai-kun, I compared you to a woman, forget it, let's just say it, all this is not right now. Was it all planned by you?"

"Evidence." Osamu Dazai said, "The law of our country is the inference of innocence. Even if Sen-senpai has never gone to court in person, he has heard of legal high. If there is insufficient chain of evidence, your accusation cannot be established."

"How can you say it's an accusation? I'm not a policeman." He returned the same smile, "The evidence is just intuition." He touched his chin, "It's all a coincidence, think carefully about where I came from." When I learned about the book, I probably came back from the battlefield in Afghanistan. After meeting with Mr. Natsume Soseki, the teacher took you to do research on folklore at that time. You wrote a paper combining folklore and literature. , the essence of folklore is all kinds of legends and stories. It is necessary to go to various places to conduct field research and collect stories. I remember Mr. Dazai went to Shikoku to collect legends. , is the place where traditional Japanese folklore is best preserved, where you collected a story that was handed down from the Kofun era, and according to other countries, it must be the Age of Gods.”

"There were no books in the Age of Gods, but there were already similar recording methods, such as carved stone slabs, murals, knots, leaves, and later bamboo slips, cloth, and paper... Think about it carefully, as long as there are words, books will be born. The difference is only where you write the text, when you printed the paper and put it on the table, I also read that article by chance, and saw the comparison between you and the myths of other countries—”

"There are always such stories. For example, the gods of every country washed the earth with floods at the beginning of creation. There is also the traditional Western story of Cinderella, which has a similar expression in ancient times in the East. The Tang Dynasty's "You There is a woman named Ye Xian in "Yang Zazu", who has exactly the same experience as Cinderella in the Western Kingdom." He said, "You told me these things in the paper at that time, and then I became curious about the legend of the book, and then used This legend has been investigated in various ways."

"... It's also very interesting to get the boat ticket suddenly a month ago. Before that, I didn't seem to have moved my mind to the ghost ship, as if I ignored its existence. Why is that? As for the one that was sent to me The pass is too coincidental."

"The circulation of book legends, Karamazov's abnormal reaction, and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's appearance." Mori Ogai looked directly at Osamu Dazai with his overly deep eyes, and the other party gave him a completely different look in return.

What is Dazai’s eyes like? They are anti-intellectual, thoughtless, and without light. What is in his eyes is a vortex that circles and circles. You can think of Van Gogh’s starry sky, The starry and moonlit nights he described are turbulent, turbulent, mysterious and surreal, the clouds are spinning, they are curly and restless, like the nerves of people in disordered codes.

Oh, by the way, at that time Van Gogh had already suffered from mental illness, so the paintings were also full of inhuman delusions that were out of touch with reality.

Mori Ogai also thought of a man, a cartoonist who is very familiar to Japanese people, Junji Ito, he also likes to draw swirls, it is the intention that will directly hit the soul and bring eternal fear to human beings, Mori Ogai is sure, He saw fear itself in Dazai, in a human being countless times.

"Can you tell me the reason for all this?" He almost forcibly suppressed his screaming and trembling soul, showing his most fearless and heroic side to Dazai Ogai, Mori Ogai admitted, the thought of His ideal, when he thinks of his beloved Yokohama, he can burst out countless powers, which can help him deal with the fear of the unknown.

Mori Ogai has always admitted that he is just a human being.

"Is this all what you planned?"

Osamu Dazai turned his head away.

"You asked just now, who killed him." He said, "That piece of skin is no longer human, right? insect."

"Even if it is a human being, it is not difficult to kill a human being."

Mori Ogai believes that his topic has introduced a very strange and frightening direction. He realizes that Dazai is not talking to him at all, but talking to himself in his heart. He is praying and talking about his crimes ?Probably not, but this person, he is clearly an atheist.

"I realize that I have entered into a misunderstanding." His voice was very soft, as if he was sleepwalking, "He was wrong about me, that's right, wrong ideas, although I didn't get close to Ah Hong on purpose, but I The image in his heart is the same as that of Ah Hong, almost a saint, it took me a long time to read the facts that should have been understood, so I missed a lot of things."

[Who is Hong?Saint, who thinks you are a saint, what kind of saint? ]

"It's a pity that I have a naturally clumsy mouth, and I can talk gibberish to strangers, but when I meet the closest person on the cusp of my heart, it becomes so clumsy that even my own voice Can't tell, honestly that's terrible, especially since I know that to him, I'm the oppressor, the mountain, the tyrant, all patriarchal ideas and beautiful fantasies, so everything I say will be rejected Wang Zhengyi's direction is distorted."

"The child didn't even realize that he had too much admiration for me, so I didn't match the virtues lingering in his heart. He thought I was kind, righteous, and heroic. Yes, it's a clear sky."

"Okay, Dazai-kun." Mori Ogai realized that he was going crazy, his mind was hanging on the verge of danger, he tried to bring back the disconnected brain of the other party, and at the same time his forehead was covered with sweat, Mori Ogai was a little frightened. A person like Dazai would not reveal his dark past to others. It was too private, including some crazy emotions in his heart. At the same time, Dazai and Shuji Tsushima he knew The Dazai I know is completely different. He has all the characteristics of a lunatic, for example, he can give everything, even himself, for a certain purpose or ideal.

Ogai Mori believes that to Osamu Dazai, he is just a speck of dust in the journey of life. They can be regarded as casual acquaintances, but they are casual acquaintances who can sacrifice each other anytime and anywhere. Now he has cut himself open and dissected The process lacks rationality and sanity.

[When he wakes up, what will Dazai do? ]

Mori Ogai seriously considers the possibility of attacking first, for example, killing Dazai before he realizes what he said, so as to avoid future troubles.

He regretted that he should not have tried to find out the secret.

"I traced the reason why he would regret and respect me, be full of fantasies, and fear at the same time." Dazai's voice became softer, and Mori Ogai couldn't hear the words, "Because I stopped him from killing himself Mother, and pulled the trigger instead, so I liberated Mr. Xiuzhi's soul, which he has always wanted but was too late to do, and at the same time, I replaced his elders and became another authority in his heart."

[Xiuzhi-kun is very smart, but it’s a pity that being smart is different from being complete. His personality and world view are all limited to a small world. When I think about my past, it’s the same when Ah Hong is alive and even when he is dead. Yes, when he was alive, my dream was to be with Ahong. When he died, he took his will as his goal in life. ]

[From this point of view, although I am very smart, I am a giant baby, born without a will of my own. ]

"I can't let Mr. Xiuzhi be like me."

He clasped his hands, and his knuckles were exerting abnormal force. From the protruding joints and bulging veins, Mori Ogai could see some kind of excessive fanaticism.

"I first became his shackles and nightmare."

"And then set him free."

[As for the people who were killed, the venue of the ghost ship, and even the three thousand dignitaries who can stir up the world, there must be treasures collected from every corner of the earth. In my eyes, they are just exquisite but boring decorations . ]

[For what I love, I can give it up. ]

So he also ignored the sigh in his heart.

[Finally, I really want to meet O-kun. ]

……

Shuji Tsushima was running.

At first he was dragged away by Zhongya Zhongyuan, and then he took the initiative to run wildly. He fled crazily from the second floor of the cabin, getting farther and farther away from the person pierced by the fork, running and running, and ran to an unknown distance .

Nakahara Chuya really didn't want to run wildly with him, so he grabbed Shuji Tsushima's arm and told him to stop. He had a stinky face and couldn't understand it at all.

"Are you crazy, brat!" He looked around furtively first, making sure that they had run to a safe place without surveillance, then heaved a sigh of relief, and then picked on Shuji Tsushima in a high-ranking, teaching newcomer's tone, "You bastard, you stabbed people to death without saying hello, and you even hurt me. I don't care what you want to do, even if you go to the banquet hall with a bomb strapped to it, I will definitely not stop you. What the hell are you doing in front of me!"

"You don't care?" Shuji Tsushima asked quietly.

"What?" Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know what he wanted to say.

"It's people." Shuji Tsushima said stubbornly, "Killing people."

"Huh?" Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't figure it out, so he pretended to be furious, "What are you talking about, idiot, isn't he just dead... Well, his status may be quite noble, but since he did As far as things are concerned, death is not a pity, and you helped him end his life early, so let's treat it as euthanasia." He whispered, "In the end, he is not human at all, and it would be more honorable to die earlier."

"You killed someone?"

"Idiot question." Zhongyuan Zhong became even more impatient, "We fight every day there, and if we want to survive in a small organization, we can only fight with our lives..."

[etc. ]

He opened his big and rippling blue eyes, those eyes were too clear to look like they were stained with blood at all, that's the kind of person in the Central Plains, he wandered around in the slums, killed people, and at the same time he was a good person, respecting the elderly Aiyou has a pair of clear eyes.

The above sounds contradictory, but subtly exists in a person.

"You haven't killed anyone?" He was stunned.

[Then why do you look like a murderer? !Is it a distortion of mind?There really are such people! ]

"No." Osamu Tsushima's eyebrows were cold, even chilling. He might be jealous of Zhongyuan Zhongya, but he didn't know whether he had such emotions, "And he already thinks I'm a monster."

He smiled, but he didn't really smile, he just carved the smile marks on his face, "He is a good man, he can't accept this at all, he can't accept that I kill people, and he can't accept that I like death itself."

"He is the sky, or the one without clouds. You don't see him playing tricks every day, but he actually has justice in his heart."

Zhong Yuanzhong also had a strange expression.

He thought about it, and finally said with strange caution: "I think you can have an open and honest talk, and it's best to tell him what you said about Mr. Dazai."

[Damn it! ]

[What is this 8000-meter-thick filter? ]

[Are you blind, mackerel? ! ]

[No, I'm going to laugh my teeth out, do you know that what you said just now can please me for ten years, brat! ]

His keen intuition of a single-celled creature told himself that he couldn't laugh now. If he really laughed out loud, Shuji Tsushima would go crazy. Considering that they were fleeing, it was not a good choice to turn against each other in advance.

but.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. ]

Zhong Yuanzhong was about to die laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh.

He said: I am so difficult.
