[Comprehensive] The Fate of Two Lives

As the sun gradually set in the west, the crimson twilight gradually merged into the glass of the window, exuding a golden light as if mixed with gold.

At this time, a woman in a black kimono was standing next to the rooftop admiring the beautiful scenery.It is located on a high place and the angle is very good, so the sunset scenery here is always extraordinarily charming.

The woman looked into the distance with some ecstasy, a cigarette was sandwiched between the middle finger and ring finger of her right hand, and the gray smoke drifted away with the breeze.

"It's Pingxianle, are you staying here alone to watch the sunset?"

A strange voice suddenly sounded from behind Ping Xianle, and when she turned her head away, she saw a black-haired man coming out from behind her, who seemed to be here to see Mujing.

"Ah."

Ping Xianle was not surprised by the man's arrival, she just responded lightly, then turned her head and continued to smoke as if no one else was there.

"Looking at your unfazed appearance, you don't look like a running wild dog at all." The man walked to her side, but said such a sentence suddenly, there seemed to be some smiles in the words , like a mockery.

"Wild dogs? Sounds like a good analogy to me."

Ping Xianle didn't seem to respond.Just puffing out the smoke lightly, and then said:

"But then again, Mori Ogai, aren't you such a wild dog yourself? Let's take a look at yourself before talking about being killed."

"You can't say that, I still have my lovely Alice-chan." Mori Ogai joked half-jokingly, but suddenly changed the subject,?

"However, I have a problem that I have struggled with for a long time. When you came to us and proposed to cooperate with us, the exchange terms you proposed did not seem like a fair and equivalent exchange."

"Yes, is there any question?" Ping Xianle asked lightly.

"The sky will never fall in vain. We don't pay much, but what we get in return is far beyond what we deserve. It will make people suspicious, right?" Sen Ouwai said with a smile.

"You people are really difficult to serve. If you give too little, you will not want to, and if you give too much, you will become suspicious." Ping Xianle said, then threw the remaining cigarette butts in his hand on the ground, and stretched out his feet Grind it.

"Perhaps everyone's opinion is different. I don't care much about those family properties. Those old guys took so much trouble to get my hands on things, in my opinion, they are worthless. But in your Things that seem unimportant are very important to me."

"I've known you for so many years, but I still can't understand you. What you do is always unexpectedly different from ordinary people. It really makes people want to study it."

Mori Ogai shook his head helplessly, and continued, "But it's because of your character that we can cooperate like this, right?"

"Who knows what you think, don't you like young girls? I'm not a young girl, why do you want to know me better?"

Ping Xianle flicked the soot off his body, stood up and walked to the back, and waved his hands behind him.

"Go back early, it's easy to catch a cold on the rooftop."

"Is this what I should tell you?" Mori Ogai replied with a bit of a smile.

Although he was a bit puzzled, he naturally would not let go of any opportunity to benefit himself.She knew that person's personality, and she almost never regretted what she said.And he has obvious advantages, as long as the opponent has a little brain, he will not easily commit a defection.

Sen Owai looked into the distance with some annoyance. Not far away, the sun was being engulfed by the horizon bit by bit, like a sinking giant ship, gradually disappearing on the sea.

However, this place is really a good place to watch the sunset.

"Mr. Zhengping, what do you want to say to me?"

After being pulled all the way in silence by Yuan Zhengping, Tsunayoshi Sawada finally couldn't help asking.But Yuan Zhengping didn't answer right away, he didn't stop until the two of them came near a pond.

"what happened?"

Seeing the other party stop suddenly, Tsunayoshi Sawada subconsciously glanced around, but didn't see any suspicious person.

"It's nothing, I just want to find a place where I can have a good chat."

Yuan Zhengping said to Sawada Tsunayoshi, then walked a few steps forward, found an empty bench and sat down.

"Don't stand there, sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, and sat down beside Yuan Zhengping.At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and only a few scattered people walking could be seen around here.To others, they appear to be just two friends hanging out to chat.

"that........"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was about to say something, but Yuan Zhengping suddenly threw something over. After Sawada Tsunayoshi took it in a panic, he felt a little warm in his palm, and he looked down to find that it was a can of hot coffee.

"It's colder. When I came here, I bought two cans and kept them in my arms. They are still hot now."

As Yuan Zhengping said, he stretched out his hand and opened the can of hot coffee in his hand, and after taking a sip, he leaned back on the bench somewhat comfortably.

"Sure enough, in winter, you still need to drink something warm."

"Um....."

Sawada Tsunayoshi took a sip of hot coffee, but the expression on his face was a bit heavy.

——It’s inappropriate to ask those words now.

Maybe I'm more impatient...

"Before, I did hide a lot of things from you."

During the silence, Yuan Zhengping suddenly spoke.After hearing Yuan Zhengping's answer, Tsunayoshi Sawada's heart sank slightly, but he continued to listen quietly.

"I did too many wrong things...Maybe I always wanted to take everything on myself, but in the end I messed up everything."

"Did something happen at that time? As far as I remember, you seem to have been with your sister..."

Tsunayoshi Sawada stopped suddenly while he was talking. He thought that Gengen Shohei’s sister seemed to have no news for a long time. When he asked about reborn, reborn also said...

He seems to have asked something he shouldn't have asked.

"Sister, she's fine for the time being." Yuan Zheng said flatly, "But the occurrence of those things has a lot to do with me. Fortunately, most of them were recovered later."

"Isn't Mr. Zhengping... studying in a military academy?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada seemed to think of something, so he asked with some doubts.

"That's just an excuse to cover up something."

Yuan Zhengping put his left hand on his knee, and looked at the setting sun not far away.

"So what are you doing?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked.

Although he also realized that there was something wrong with Yuan Zhengping before taking it, but he didn't delve too deeply into it.At that time, he also encountered a lot of troubles, and various family affairs flooded him like a flood.He couldn't even get away from himself, let alone take care of others.

"At that time, I went to the time government to work as a judge. I heard from the people there that my former family members had worked as a judge there, so they let me continue to work there. Because such a job cannot be accepted. Outsiders know about it, so I have no choice but to use other excuses to get past you when I face you."

"You mean, did you go to the government of the time to be a god judge?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little blinded for a moment, he didn't know much about the government of time.I just heard reborn say something occasionally when chatting with reborn.There appears to be an organization that manages history.But the government of the time and Pengelie are not very connected, and there is not much intersection on weekdays, so he didn't know much about this aspect.

"Yes. But Pengo Lie's words should not have too much intersection with the government of the time, right?" Yuan Zhengping said, and took another sip of coffee, "The government of the time is an institution that manages history. It is revealed to the public with the government’s surname, but it is secretly manipulated by several big families.”

"Naturally, the power to manage the government of time cannot be handed over to a certain family. After all, what the government of time controls is not oil or arms. What the government of time controls is time."

"If you master time, you can master history, right?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked.

"Yes, if this kind of power is controlled by a certain family, then that family will probably want to change the history of its own family?" Yuan Zhengping said, but suddenly lowered his voice, and moved closer to the other party, in his ear Bian said softly:

"For Tsunade-kun, do you want to know something about myself?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi opened his eyes wide, and his body seemed to be frozen. Before the silence, he could even hear the breathing of the other party.

The surrounding air gradually settled down, as if the pause button had been pressed and stopped.

"Who told you to decide this kind of thing without authorization! You still know how to come back, why don't you die outside and don't come back!"

In the Armed Detective Agency, with a loud noise, Osamu Dazai was thrown over his shoulder to the ground by a blond man with glasses.

"Hey, don't get excited. It's not the Armed Detective Agency that's cooperating, it's just me. Why are you so excited?"

Osamu Dazai quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and continued to add:

"And even if I die outside, I will find a beautiful young lady to die in love with. It's not fun to die like this alone in the world."

"You're still talking back! You're meddling in other things instead of coming to the mission, you've been idle for too long, right?!" Kunikida Doppo said angrily.

"Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong. If Kunikida-kun is too violent, he will keep getting shorter." Osamu Dazai said half-jokingly.

"Okay, stop arguing."

The silver-haired man snorted, and the two quickly shut up.The person who spoke was Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency.When he opened his mouth, everyone shut their mouths knowingly.

"Then, Osamu Dazai." Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Osamu Dazai at the side. "Do you think what you're doing is the right thing to do?"

"If you ask me that, I'm going to have a headache."

Seeing Fukuzawa Yukichi's serious eyes, Osamu Dazai pretended to have a headache,

"If I had to say it, I probably approached him because I was a little curious about that person at first. I didn't expect to know something amazing."

"A big deal?" Fukuzawa Yukichi raised his brows, "What is it?"

"Something about the port mafia."

Osamu Dazai was playing with the small spoon on the table, with a smile on his face,

"The port mafia seems to have found a new partner. So we have to be more careful in our work recently."

"New cooperation? What do you mean?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

"It seems to be a power belonging to another government. I heard from that kid that it seems to use an ability called "spiritual power" to fight. They can use this power to manipulate other things, and these are the most important What's more, their abilities do not belong to the category of supernatural powers, so your "nullification of supernatural powers" naturally cannot be used on them."

"In this way, they are using another ability that is not a supernatural ability. But "spiritual power" sounds more like the ghosts and gods in ancient Japan." Kunikida Doppo said while rubbing his chin.

"However, in a sense, it is really troublesome, but the situation is not too bad." Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting on a high stool beside him suddenly said, and raised his index finger.

"First of all, although we have learned the unfortunate news, at least we also know about this kind of thing. This situation is much better than when the other party launched a surprise attack that surprised us during the battle."

"It's true to say that, but in this case, the advantage we have is greatly reduced." Yosano Akiko lowered her head and thought.

"That's what I said, but we also have a turning point." Edogawa Ranpo said, and stretched out his index finger and middle finger at the same time.

"Secondly, we can also go to find that boy to seek cooperation. He came to Dazai Osamu, probably because he was a little helpless with the port mafia's supernatural powers, but since the boy challenged the port mafia, he naturally also has certain abilities. of strength."

"You mean, that person has the power to deal with those who manipulate "spiritual power"?" Fukuzawa Yukichi quickly understood.

"After all, that young man is also from "that world". If we can join forces with him, then we can get the help of that person, which happens to be the best of both worlds." She clapped hands with Yosano Akiko and said.

"That's what I said, but when that person approached me, he said something like "just cooperate with me". I think he didn't want to involve too many things in it. Therefore, there is still a certain degree of difficulty in convincing him to cooperate with the detective agency." Difficult."

Osamu Dazai said such a sentence abruptly, and everyone fell silent.Indeed, even if they are unilaterally willing to cooperate with that person, the other party may not necessarily agree to cooperate with them. "

"In short, you should explain your intention to him first. After all, this matter is still very important." Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Dazai Osamu, "How is it? Such a thing can be done, right?"

"It is definitely necessary to try, anyway, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future." Osamu Dazai said, and he heard the phone vibrate in his pocket.

"No, look, it's here just after I finished speaking."

Osamu Dazai held the phone, a kind smile gradually appeared on his face.
