Mr. Hat who was forced to lose his memory

"Mr. Mori?" Nakahara Chuya murmured in disbelief with trembling fingers.

He thought that the leader of Mori Ogai whom he had always respected had already died at the hands of Osamu Dazai.Adhering to the belief that if you want to see the dead if you want to live, you must see the dead, Nakahara has never given up secretly looking for the whereabouts of Mori Ogai.However, after so many years of futile work, he has long accepted the fact that Mori Ogai is dead.

Today, he never expected to meet the former leader again in front of the orphanage.

Not seeing each other for four years, the image in memory of Mori Ogai and Nakahara Chuya has changed a little.

When he was the leader of the port mafia, he wore a suit and leather shoes and a long coat all the time. His eyes were cold and sharp, no different from Osamu Dazai.However, now he is only wearing an ordinary shirt and a white coat, his hair is combed back casually, a lot of dull hair has fallen out, and his beard is unshaven. He looks like an ordinary decadent uncle.

"Oh, hard work pays off. I squatted outside every day, and you finally found this place." Mori Ogai said with an obvious smile, pointing to the door of the orphanage, "Just come in if you have anything to say. Say it again, Chuya-kun."

Zhongyuan Zhong also followed Mori Owai into the gate of the orphanage in a daze. There was a large grass field between the gate and the back room, and some amusement facilities were placed on it for the children of the orphanage to play. Just now Zhongyuan Zhong The laughter that was also heard outside came from these children.

What surprised Zhongyuan even more was that he actually saw the long-lost "white death" - Atsushi Nakajima in the back room.

"Although you probably already know his identity, Nakaya-kun, I still want to introduce him again. His name is Atsushi Nakajima. At present, he is my son."

Mori Ou's foreign language was not amazing and kept dying, which shocked Nakahara Nakaya and looked at Nakajima Atsushi, but the latter kept his head down and did not respond.

Mori Ogai had no intention of continuing to explain, he moved a chair for Nakahara Nakaya to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and supported one cheek with one hand: "So, is there anything Nakahara-kun wants to ask me? "

Nakahara Chuya had too many questions in his mind, and he asked the one he cared about the most: "Mr. Mori, weren't you killed by Dazai four years ago...?"

"Dazai-kun? No. Rather, he saved me." Mori Ogai chuckled a few times, "Four years ago, I lost the battle with Mimic and fell into a very dangerous situation. It was Dazai-kun who saved me." I owed him a great favor, so I agreed to many of his demands-pretending to be dead and abdicating, serving as a small headmaster in this orphanage incognito, taking care of Good Dun Jun, this brat... and, I will tell you something."

The amount of information was too huge, and Zhongyuan Zhong also digested it for a while before asking the next question.

"So, is Dazai really planning something, including his last..." Nakahara Nakaya paused before continuing in a low voice, "...suicide?"

"Hey, I've heard about this from Atsushi-kun, and I have to say, it really makes me very regretful. I once wanted to save Dazai-kun, but Dazai-kun only pursued death." Mori Ogai's eyes A trace of gloom flashed across, "Dazai-kun didn't tell me all the plans, but I can almost guess what happened. So... Chuya-kun, are you ready?"

……

A few hours later, Zhongyuan Zhong also left the gate of the orphanage in a daze.Standing by the window, Mori Ogai sighed inaudibly as he watched the back of his former subordinates leave.

Atsushi Nakajima did not agree with Mori Ogai's behavior of telling the whole thing, he hesitated and said: "You are not doing well, Mr. Dazai said..."

"'Once more than three people know about this, the world will become unstable', he once said that to you, right?" Mori Ogai continued the unspoken next sentence.

"That's right, I wasn't the only one present at the time, and Akutagawa and I both heard that content... That's why Mr. Dazai committed suicide because of it, right?"

"No." Mori Ogai denied Nakajima Atsushi's words, "Strictly speaking, you and that Akutagawa-kun are not the only ones who know the existence of 'books'. I know, "Guild" knows, and "Rat of the Dead House" knows , and there are many very powerful people and organizations who want to compete for the 'book'.Atsu-kun, why do you think that a far-sighted guy like Dazai-kun is going to end his life just because he told you about the existence of "books"? "

"You, you mean..." Nakajima Atsushi opened his eyes wide, and a terrible guess slowly surfaced in his mind.

Mori Ogai slowly raised the corners of his lips: "So, I was described by many people as a ruthless leader in the past, but in front of Dazai-kun, this adjective is nothing at all.

"'Only the dead can keep secrets'. Dazai-kun is the only one who really knows where the 'book' is, but...he doesn't even trust himself."

……

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat in his beloved car, not moving for a long time, just smoking cigarettes one after another.The ashtray in the car was filled with cigarette butts and ashes.

Mori Ogai's words replayed in his brain like a spell.

——'Book' is an existence close to the root of this world, and it can turn the content written on it into reality.Once someone with malicious intentions finds the 'book' and writes something on it, the world will be overwritten, and it will collapse, and everything that wants to be protected will also disappear.

——Fortunately, except for Dazai-kun, no one knows where the 'Book' is hiding.

——Kun Dazai started this plan four years ago, and death is only the last link in his plan.

……

ha.Osamu Dazai... you are a complete fucking bastard.

Zhong Yuanzhong also snuffed out the last cigarette in his mouth, his brain has never been as calm as it is now, and his rationality is terrifying.

Osamu Dazai did not disclose much to Mori Ogai back then, but Mori Ogai was able to analyze more information based on the pitifully few clues, and connect the interlocking events in series.

During the four years of hiding in the orphanage, Mori Ogai was not isolated from the world and knew nothing.On the contrary, it is precisely because of being dissociated from the center of the whirlpool of events that one can see things that are easily overlooked by the authorities like a bystander.

"Our biggest enemy is not the "Guild", not the "Rat of the House of Death", not even all the people or organizations in this world.Chuya-kun, the enemy is very terrifying. He may just wave his hand lightly, and the world we live in will collapse.

"I don't know what kind of existence it is, let alone what their abilities are. But the only thing that is certain is that their purpose is the same as those people.

"It's all about finding that unique 'book'."

The scenery outside the car window receded sharply, and Zhong Yuanzhong was also staring at the road ahead. He supported the steering wheel with one hand, put on the headset with the other, and pressed the contact button.

Ten seconds later, a steady voice came from the earphone: "Is it Mr. Zhongyuan?"

"Mr. Sawada," Nakahara Nakaya's icy blue pupils couldn't reflect anything, but they were frighteningly bright at the moment, he paused each word in a hoarse voice, and said calmly, "I agree to participate in your plan."

The author has something to say: Mori Ogai did not die, later became the new director of the orphanage from Atsushi, and took Atsushi as his son, all of which are the settings in the if-line novel.

By the way, Alice was shocked when she turned into a 20-year-old big sister at the end.
