disqualified hero

When Dazai arrived at the Asahi Bunko, the Asahi Bunko was already surrounded by police cars with blue and red lights flashing and heroes from the area they belonged to.

Asahi Bunko is a very large company. Even in the era of the decline of paper media, it still develops tenaciously relying on the online media part and hero novels.Its Tokyo headquarters is a very modern building, part of the outer wall is covered with glass curtains, which does not cause optical pollution and makes the whole building shine in the sun.

Dazai arrived at noon. In the past, at this time, it happened to be the working hours of the employees. Women in suits and men in suits should go in and out at the gate on the first floor, and go out with rice balls to find a place with a beautiful scenery. Eat at the park, or buy a daily bento at the convenience store.

But today, there is no one downstairs. Those employees are probably lying on the glass surface, condescendingly watching the situation on the lower floors, or those who are less timid have already fled from the company.

"Dazai." It was his old friend Hawkes who came. Hawkes' expression was a little helpless, but more serious, "This is not my jurisdiction, but the Middle School Affiliated to Dongda University is very close to the Asahi Bunko, so I will directly I was transferred here." After a simple explanation, the next sentence revealed a 12-point warning, "This incident is related to you."

"I've heard about the general situation." This time Dazai's voice was finally not brisk, and there was no unusual expression on his face, as if everything in the world was fleeting, with a faint smile like a god or Buddha, and he had no expression, so Osamu Dazai Hawks is the first to see.

[He seems to be smiling all the time, a seemingly cheerful laugh, a laugh without substance, a malicious laugh, a mocking laugh.Thinking about it carefully, I really haven't seen his expressionless face a few times. ]

Hawks fell into the sea of ​​memories. He occasionally saw Dazai's expressionless face. It was him looking into the distance, mountains, trees, flowers, and the distant sky. In the nothingness scene, he didn't know what he saw.

And now...

"Are you angry, Dazai?" Hawks frowned and couldn't help asking this sentence, but the next second he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, this is not something he should ask, in order to cover up his own Failing to speak, he fake coughed twice, and said to Dazai, "Mr. Xiaozhuang is in the reception room on the first floor."

Dazai nodded to Hawks, of course it was impossible for him to answer the question about whether he was angry.

……

Xiao Zhuangsu looked a bit miserable. Like all the victims, he was wearing a blanket, holding hot tea, and a large basket of donuts in front of him.

He worked hard to calm down, but after a long time, his face was still pale, sitting there like a stiff stone sculpture.

However, when he saw Dazai, the stone sculpture was endowed with vitality. He stood up abruptly, and the police officers around him didn't have time to hold him down. The fluffy blanket slid down the slope of his shoulders.

"Mr. Dazai!" He said excitedly, "Mr. Dazai, why did you come here? The reason I called you was to tell you not to come and find a hero office to stay. Ordinary heroes can't handle Stein's words. How about Hawks, even if you don’t find a hero, staying in Shizuoka is much safer than coming to me..." He looked like a Gatling machine gun, spitting out bullets crazily, the policeman watched He was stunned, the current Xiao Zhuangsu didn't look like a victim, he had put aside the things he had experienced, and turned into an old lady who kept talking about Dazai.

Hawkes, who came later, was relieved to see him like this, and he thought silently in his heart [Ah, editor Xiaozhuang, this is such a person. ]

If superficial labels were attached to him, it would probably be "old lady", "nagging", "very concerned about Dazai", and "hot-blooded man".

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing that Xiao Zhuang regained his spirit, Dazai's facial expression softened a little, at least not the expressionless face before, "I came here because Mr. Hawkes is here. If he protects me, I will be very safe." He said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang."

In his soft words, Xiao Zhuang quickly relaxed.

……

Four 10 minutes ago.

"Moses, this is Dazai." With a few fingers, he picked up the phone, "Mr. Xiaozhuang? Do you want to call me at this time? The agreed delivery date has not yet come."

"..." There was no human voice on the other side of the phone. On the contrary, there were only a few breathless gasps, as if the person would be overwhelmed and defeated by indescribable emotions in the next second.

Dazai still wore a pale mask on his face, but his voice changed, as clear as water, with soothing power: "Calm down, Mr. Zhuang, I am safe, and you are safe, what happened , Did the police call, where are you now? Calm down."

When he comforts people, there will be an unbelievably high feeling in his voice, no matter how anxious he is, he will calm down.Xiaozhuang's breathing finally stabilized a little bit, he clicked a few times, his throat was extremely dry, but fortunately he was not hurt: "Hurry up and hide, Mr. Dazai, the hero killer Stein came to Asahi Bunko to look for you, he I searched for your contact information, but fortunately I didn’t save the relevant information, but kept your number in my heart, but he didn’t find anything.”

Xiaozhuang has a good memory, and he cares about protecting the author's privacy. For example, the records with Dazai are deleted after completion, and he does not store his contact information in the phone, but recites it from memory.

People in the same company laughed at him for his old-fashioned style, like a little old man in the Showa era, but unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

"Then are you injured, Mr. Xiaozhuang?"

"No, not really, it's just that the body is not moving very much, and Stein didn't attack us too much."

"Protect yourself, Mr. Zhuang."

Phone, hang up.

Ying Shota remained silent, he stood beside Dazai, acting as a quiet pillar, and waited until the phone was hung up before opening his mouth: "I came back because of this."

Dazai didn't speak.

Taka Shota said: "I've been tracking the news about Stein the hero killer. His range of activities was random, but the few places he visited recently made me feel a little strange." He paused, "For example, he has been to you There are other sources, such as gossip that Stein is a fan of Dazai's book, and he is inquiring about the author recently, etc. With the help of Bo Chejian, Taka Shota is like a tail Youyu merged into the ocean of information at an extremely fast speed, even the news of those enemies, those who wandered in the gray area, he could still inquire about it.

"Anyway, that's it," he said. "I suspect Stein is after you, Dazai."

Dazai Osamu's attention was a bit strange. He walked towards the hall, picked up the coat hanging on the hanger in the entrance, buttoned it, and asked seemingly casually: "Shota-kun, why do you pay attention to Stein? It really is Is it out of the obsession of fellow Achilles fans?"

Yingxiang froze too much, he showed that slightly embarrassed expression.

Dazai Osamu can imagine his current appearance without looking back, he said: "Well, it is not wrong to have such a thought, but I will give you a little suggestion." He said, "If Shota-kun If you really want to be an anti-hero, it’s better not to limit yourself under the influence of Achilles.” Fingers dexterously twisted the button, “The meaning of an idol is not just to worship you, but to serve as a former hero. Obtaining road signs on the road sets up the direction for you, blind imitation can only make yourself confined in the shadows, and become a person far inferior to him."

Hawk Shota did not speak.

"If you really want to practice your ideals, you'd better broaden your horizons, not just become Achilles II, but become who you want to be even more, do you understand what I mean? ?”

Ying Xiangta moved his lips: "Probably."

[However, how can things in this world be so simple? ] He couldn't help asking himself [It's like Orumat stood before all the heroes, but no one really wants to surpass him. ] He always kept Hawkes' evaluation in mind, [When people face a huge monument, they can't help lowering their heads and constantly imitating the behavior of their predecessors. ]

The thought of advocating ancient times exists no matter which country it is in.

He couldn't help asking: "How can I become that kind of person, how can I surpass it?"

"It's very simple." Dazai opened the door, light squeezed in through the narrow door crack, the size of the door frame did not limit the shape of the light, they scattered freely on the ground, like dancing gold.

"It's enough to set yourself a bigger goal," he said, "for example, to eliminate the evil in the world."

[This is an absolutely impossible, but extremely inspiring, ambitious goal. ]

……

There were quite a few people who witnessed Stein's break-in. Before Dazai and the others arrived, the police who arrived at the scene had already collected the testimony of the witnesses and pieced together the complete truth.

Xiao Zhuangsu was frightened. He should have gone to rest, but now he insisted on asking himself to tell Dazai Osamu what happened.

[Multi-perspective narration is good, but the other witnesses, that is, my colleagues, just ran and screamed when Stein broke in. The truth they told was not so much the truth observed at close range , It is better to say that it is a conjecture in the mind to supplement the complete truth. ]

The worrying mother-in-law side of his character prevailed, and if it wasn't for his detailed account, there would be absolutely no reassurance, and he took off the blanket and assured people again and again that he could tell, His thinking is very clear.

"I'll leave it to you, Xiaozhuang-kun." Dazai's address suddenly changed. For him, "Sir" is used to address Xiaozhuangsu as an editor, and "Jun" is an endowment that makes him more intimate. A title that can only be given to those who trust it.

"Okay." Xiao Zhuang took a sip of ice water, sat on a chair, and began to talk, "He broke in at 12:36."

……

Stein is a ninja, or in other words, he tempers his body and body in the way of a ninja.

Even in this era, there are still a few ninja villages in the Iga area, and they live a life of solitude, far away from the world.

Whether it is a hero or a supporter of Stein, many people have discussed the timeline of his appearance, and where he learned the skills of analyzing his body from a few images. The more unified answer is Iga's a certain genre.

"He crawled in through the ventilation duct." Xiao Zhuang said, "His skill is dexterous, and he hardly makes a sound. As for his figure, although he is the figure that an adult should have, he is much leaner. The air conditioner above our heads is Central air-conditioning, the ventilation ducts are very spacious, if I guessed correctly, he should have sneaked in from the place where the air-conditioning ducts are connected outside the building, and then climbed along the ducts all the way to the office where our editorial department is located."

Hawkes said, "Yes, it has been determined that the exterior air conditioning panel was removed." Zhuang was right.

"He knew who I was and what I looked like. My identity was not a secret," he said. "We were still working at the time, and Asahi Bunko's lunch time was from 1 to 2 in the afternoon."

"Bangdang-"

"Bangdang-"

"Boom--"

The central air conditioner above the head made a strange noise, and the workers had to put down their work and looked up at the ceiling: "Is there something wrong with the air conditioner? Call someone to fix it?"

Xiaozhuang also looked up, but he happened to be under the air conditioner, and he saw more things through the fine exhaust fan, such as Stein's wolf-like eyes shining coldly.

"!" He stood up suddenly and said, "Hurry up!" He shouted loudly, speaking to his colleagues.

The people who were working were startled by him, they stopped their work, but hesitated too much because they didn't know what happened, "What's wrong, Xiaozhuang?"

"There is someone in the air conditioner!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the air-conditioning board hanging from the zenith fell, and the board hit the desk in front of Xiao Zhuang. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The air in the office froze, and the explosion exploded in the next second. There was an earth-shattering scream, and the staff members who were near the door fled in a hurry. The ladies lost their high heels, and the men couldn't even take their suit jackets.

Xiao Zhuang couldn't run away quickly, and Stein's eyes were fixed on him. What made him feel even more frightening was that the other party really exuded an invisible aura that he didn't know whether it should be murderous or something else.

This momentum shocked him, making him unable to move, unable to escape.

For no reason, he thought of the anime Naruto he had watched in his childhood. It seemed to be the Chunin exam. Was it like this when Sasuke and the others faced Orochimaru?

But he couldn't cut his skin with a sharp weapon.

"What's your business?" He could only pretend to be calm, "Hero killer, Stein."

"You—" Stein's voice was just as he had imagined, hoarse and deep, "You know Osamu Dazai." He said, "Where is he?"

Xiao Zhuang quickly stiffened his neck and did not speak.

Almost in the next second, Stein appeared in front of him, and Ku Wu ran across him, leaving a bloodstain. He licked the blood of Ku Wu, and Xiao Zhuang Su felt his body jerk Twitching, from not daring to move in concept, to being unable to move in a real sense.

"I'll find it myself."

The first is computers and mobile phones.Until just now, it was still working hours, so the computer screen was turned on, and no password input was required. Stein searched around, but found nothing except the proofreading manuscript.

The same is true for mobile phones. You can click on it with a person's fingerprint, but you can't find anything about contact information, line conversations, etc.

He gave an irritable "tsk", and finally opened every drawer to find the manuscripts left by Osamu Dazai. Most authors now rely on computers to type, but when writing cover messages and other words, they will choose Handwriting is said to be more able to express the sincerity of the author.

As a result, Stein unexpectedly discovered that Dazai Osamu is not a writer who is common these days. His articles even have manuscripts, and he wrote smooth pseudonyms with even rounded corners in the grid with a pen. With Chinese characters, he is the rare kind of person who can write well.

[and……]

Looking at those words, his eyes burst into ecstasy. Stein took out his mobile phone. From the angle of Xiaozhuang Suzai, he couldn't see what he was doing, let alone what was projected on the screen of his mobile phone. He just I could barely raise my head, saw him compare for a while, put the phone in his pocket, then swept through all Dazai Osamu's manuscripts, and left.

"The above is what I saw, the complete truth."

Xiaozhuang concluded with this sentence and ended the narrative.

Hawkes also fell silent. The incident described that there were very few people present, only Osamu Dazai, Xiaozhuangsu, and Hawkes. The police originally wanted to join, but they were firmly rejected. Xiaozhuangsu refused to let more Many people know this.

As for why there is Hawks, the first point is because he has experienced the Changzhi mangosteen incident as a half-knowledgeable bystander, and believes that there is a basis for cooperation between Hawks and Osamu Dazai; secondly, he believes that Hawkes and Dazai There is a friendship between teachers.

"Is there anything to be happy about, Dazai-sensei?"

Probably a few days ago, when he met Osamu Dazai, he was keenly aware of his good mood.

When Dazai is in a good mood, he will be more excited than usual, and his steps will be more brisk. The focus is on the aura lingering around the opponent's body, which can infect people and bring people a good mood.

"Hey, are you happy?" He pretended to be thinking hard: "Is it a happy thing to eat delicious canned crab meat last night?"

"Did you eat out with friends?" he asked.

"Almost," Dazai said, "We even took a group photo." He took out his phone and showed Xiaozhuang a quick look, "It's a great group photo, right?"

Xiao Zhuang smiled, and said, "Mr. Dazai, it's not just the canned crab meat that makes you happy, but also your friends." He even smiled a little relieved.

[That's great, Dazai-sensei also has friends. ]

[Every time I go to Mr. Dazai’s house, it’s empty, but some time ago, there was more life. Let’s get back to the topic. He didn’t seem to have mentioned anything about friends before. I’m still worried about Mr. Dazai Is his personality too withdrawn, but in the end he still has three good friends. ]

[It's really great. ]

He was almost relieved.

Because of that photo, Xiao Zhuangsu's trust in Hawks has increased a lot.

After listening to Xiao Zhuangsu's narration, it is impossible for Hawkes to have no thoughts, and even his thoughts are so many that he is about to drown himself.

[Tsk! ]

[First of all, it is certain that Stein is definitely related to Dazai Osamu, and he should not know him if he knew him, otherwise he would never find Xiao Zhuangsu, but he can come to the door specially and snatch the manuscript...]

If other people were to look at this matter, they might classify Stein as a fanatic, but it is absolutely impossible for Hawks to analyze it.

[Hero killer Stein, who attacks multiple heroes in a row, does not associate with ordinary enemies, and is not interested in money. ]

Their hero had a group of discussions about him, and it turned out that Stein is an enemy with a very firm will and distorted views, even though he is a fan of Dazai’s books, Hawks does not doubt this, because Dazai’s books The content in it is really easy to attract those who think too deeply and even have major deviations.

[But it is absolutely impossible for him to snatch the manuscript out of his own interest. ]

He followed this thought [why the manuscript was snatched, most likely because he saw something. ]

[For example, handwriting. ]

He looked at Osamu Dazai with complicated eyes: "Is it possible that you have had contact with Stein before?"

"How is it possible, Hawks-kun." Here again, Dazai complained nonchalantly, he often speaks like this, you can never tell which sentence is true and which sentence is false from his words, "Why? Possibly, I am a law-abiding citizen, how could I come into contact with the terrible hero killer?" He said, "And, if he knew me, he wouldn't have found Editor Xiaozhuang."

[Ah, that's it. ]

Hawkes thought.

[Even if I don’t know, what Dazai is thinking and doing, what he shows is always only the side he wants you to know. ]

He suddenly thought of the personality of Dazai Osamu who was presented to him during the Kyushu incident, and that must have been his planned personality, planned to be exposed in front of him.

[What exactly are you trying to do, Dazai. ]

"Anyway." Hawks said with difficulty, "What is certain is that Dazai, you have become the target of the hero killer, and he is almost one of the most vicious enemies of this era."

"Whether it is from the perspective of a friend, a teacher, or a hero, I want to protect your safety." He said, "I have already made a phone call with the principals of the High School Affiliated to Dongdae University and Xiongying High School. We talked."

He looked directly at Osamu Dazai: "Your name is not a secret in a small area. As long as Stein can find out the high school attached to Dongda University, he will definitely know who you are."

"In Tokyo, the safest place is the Yingying High School where there are many heroes and Orumite teaches. Its security registration is even higher than that of the government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government." He said, "So, Dazai, for your Safety, during this time, are you willing to go to Xiongying High School and accept the protection of heroes?"

[Body: Osamu Dazai. ]
