Incorrect usage guidelines for the magic perimeter

Shibukawa Yao walked sideways through the hole at the elevator entrance, and the inside was still filled with water.But she found that there was no elevator car nearby, presumably it stopped on another floor.

It is well known that the straight line between two points is the shortest, so the elevator passage is the fastest way to reach other floors... But it is not recommended for people who do not have the ability to breathe underwater. .

In the cruise ship capsizing incident tonight, the only thing that made Shibukawa Yao feel a little relieved was that most of the passengers had strong or weak abilities. If those people near the outermost room of the ship could swim out even by breaking the wall, no As for waiting to die completely helpless in the face of disaster.

And just as she grasped the steel cable suspended in the water and slowly moved her figure to use this strength to go downstream for more than ten meters, she suddenly heard a cracking sound from the far floor above her head, shaking the entire elevator corridor. They all trembled.

Before Shibukawa Yao could react, the sound of a "rumbling" heavy object sliding along the track came from above her head!

Gan!That's the elevator car falling down!

Shibukawa Yao didn't dare to be careless, and it was too late to open the elevator door on the nearest floor at this time, so he simply lay down on the depression on the wall and tried to stick it in as tightly as possible, while stretching out his left hand, pinching out the golden Kun En Fayin.

Two golden rays of light began to circle around her in the next second.But it didn't take long before the huge black shadow above her head fell aggressively like a monster in the deep sea, and even the resistance of the sea water couldn't slow it down too much.

The elevator car that rubbed against the walls on both sides almost produced golden-red sparks, but then dissipated in the sea water, almost brushed Shibukawa Yao's back and sank!It weighs a full two tons!

Clang!

The sound of metal shattering echoed in the water, it was the sound of the shattering of the seal protection.

But Shibukawa Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, Kunn blocked the damage caused by this friction, which meant that the elevator car had now sunk below her position.

But at this moment, several broken steel cables in the turbid seawater flew towards her with claws and claws. One of the broken cables with several steel thorns exposed hit her left shoulder unexpectedly, and the sharp and slender steel thorns directly hit her. Pierced the girl's left shoulder blade!The blood spreads!

This time, Yao Shibukawa was so painful that she almost lost consciousness. She couldn't bear it any longer, and directly opened her mouth to cough up a big mouthful of blood, but the salty sea water with the smell of metal rust poured in immediately!

"Wow!... Mmm..."

The other end of the steel cable is connected to the top of the falling elevator car. At this moment, it is equivalent to a two-ton beast pulling her down crazily. How can an exhausted girl like Shibukawa Yao resist?

Her whole body was also suddenly pulled into the deeper and darker water.

At this moment, inside the cruise ship, in a space bar on the eighth floor that has not yet been submerged by sea water.

Since the bar on the guest room floor has a "space" theme, the cruise ship designer initially designed several completely sealed amusement facilities rooms that simulate space capsules.

Because of this, Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu were able to sit in it covered in water to breathe and rest, while the battery-operated oxygen generator was constantly spouting cold and moist oxygen.Since the entire room lost power, there was only a small battery desk lamp with a dim light that was still shining—it was an item made by Kunikida with supernatural powers.

Dazai sat on a chair at the bar, silently playing with his phone.

"Are you crazy, Dazai?" Kunikida took two sips of the iced mineral water left by the bartender before he fled, "Who are you calling to leave a last message? And we are at the bottom of the sea now, where is there a signal?" ?”

"This phone has a signal." Dazai replied softly, still not looking up at his colleague with an impatient face, "It's just...no one answered."

Kunikida almost felt desperate for this man, he picked up a brand new bottle of unopened mineral water and slapped him hard in front of him, then grabbed Osamu Dazai by the collar and shouted: "I don't know What are you thinking every day, you bastard! I don't care! I just know that the person who escaped with us has been gone for at least 10 minutes, and I am going to accompany you to die in this seawater-soaked space bar cabin !"

Dazai looked into his forbearing and angry eyes, and his voice was as soft as a piece of rootless duckweed, which made people feel that something was wrong: "...I am not waiting to die."

"Then why don't you leave!" Kunikida glared at him.

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Wait... this is really ridiculous!" Kunikida Doppo's furious expression was obviously not as funny as he said, on the contrary, he looked so angry that he was about to cry, "Mr. Dazai! Dazai-sama! You just I beg you to be sober, no one will come here! This is the eighth floor, and the sea level is at least 40 meters away from our heads! Squashed by the pressure of the deep water, we'd both die—as easy as crushing two worms in a can!"

Osamu Dazai's sleepwalking eyes finally had some light, and he answered irrelevantly, "You can go, Kunikida-kun, I let you go just now, but you didn't choose to leave like those people."

"What stupid things are you talking about? Of course I can't just leave like this!" Kunikida was very angry, "As a member of the detective agency, how can I just ignore the life and death of my partner?"

"...Didn't you often call me to die before?" The black-haired young man laughed indifferently, "You should be able to be normal this time, right?"

Kunikida stared at him for nearly a dozen seconds in shock and anger, but Dazai kept looking at him with a smile.The blond young man slowly loosened the man's collar, and suddenly slammed his hand on the table angrily, "Baga! Can your ridiculous jokes before be compared to the seriousness of the accident tonight! Don't give it to me Confused concepts! I don’t care if you are waiting for someone or the god of death, anyway, after you drink those few sips of mineral water for me, go out and run for your life honestly!”

"Impossible, Kunikida-kun." Dazai sat back on the high stool, propping his chin with his thin hands and laughing. At this time, he seemed to have let go of some inner burden, and instead returned to his usual ease, " I know your good intentions, but [Disqualification in the World] will make me useless to the underwater breathing equipment you made... You also know very well that without oxygen cylinders and related equipment, I can't survive the sea 40 meters away. Not to mention that this is the ideal shortest distance.”

The young man with blond hair and glasses didn't speak, but turned his head suddenly, his face was ashen, and he refused to let go of his strength.

No, it shouldn't be like this.In an ideal world, one cannot watch someone die in front of oneself, let alone a colleague who has been with him for many days...

However, Osamu Dazai was still in the mood to tease him: "Yo, are you crying?"

"Crying for you big-headed ghost! Would I cry for a scum like you! Dream!"

But the black-haired young man silently restrained his indifferent smile after seeing this, because he knew that this good partner was definitely not feeling well at the moment.

As an idealist, always pursue the most perfect ending.

He envied Kunikida-kun's belief and pursuit, because he had long since lost the enthusiasm for martyrdom.

After all, he used to be this kind of person, but after experiencing some things, the cruel reality has taught Dazai a lot of truths.

For example, in the face of a disaster, the chance of surviving is always slim.

For another example, the girl who made an appointment to meet you will always have 1 reasons to let you go.

For example, the person whom I had met just now disappeared as soon as I turned around.

…………

What can you do in the face of these things?

A person can never really control the fate of himself and others, and this pain from life may never be truly relieved.

Impermanence, this is impermanence, my friends.

Osamu Dazai, who was in a trance, noticed that Kunikida Doppo stood up suddenly, and immediately smiled with disappointment but a little rejoicing: "Are you finally leaving?"

"Quiet!" The blond young man waved his hand seriously to shut him up, pricking up his ears like the most vigilant hound, "Did you hear..."

boom!

The sealed glass at the door suddenly broke, and the muddy water rushed in frantically, rushing a figure in without mercy!

"Block it! Someone will plug the broken glass hole! Water... water rushes in..." Shibukawa Yao, who was lying on the ground, gasped in embarrassment and shouted desperately.

Kunikida Doppo was about to rush over, but he saw Osamu Dazai, who had been lifeless, jump up from his chair in an instant, rushed to the door like a bolt of lightning, and directly blocked the small glass gap with his back.

The speed of the surrounding water suddenly slowed down a lot.

"Yao sauce!"

As long as the eyes are not blind, anyone can see the bright smile on the black-haired young man's face, but his smile dimmed a lot immediately, as if those few steel needles were stuck on himself.

"Your shoulders..."

"It's useless." Shibukawa Yoshi, who climbed up from the ground with one hand, endured the huge pain from his shoulder blade, and every word he said, and every breath he took would tear the wound.In order to break free from the cable, she cut the cable with a knife, but she dared not pull out the remaining steel thorns in the water for fear of infection.

At this moment, Kunikida came to his senses and hurried over to help, "Miss, how do you feel now, do you want to treat this wound first?"

"It's better." Shibukawa Yao nodded towards him, "Kunikida-kun, could you please stand with Mr. Dazai. I want to use the bar to treat the wound."

Kunikida Doppo, who is very polite to women, is still worried about girls treating wounds independently, but it is even more impossible to go to see others change clothes and treat wounds, so he nodded: "Okay... wait? How do you know me?"

Shibukawa Yao glanced at Osamu Dazai who was smiling again, he was really too lazy to explain this question, so he immediately pointed his eyes in that direction: "Go and ask him."

Kunikida: ...

Seeing Shibukawa Yao huddled behind the bar table taking a deep breath while pulling out the steel needle, the angle of the door where they were standing could not see the scene behind the bar, Kunikida secretly asked the black-haired young man, "How could she know me?"

Of course Dazai wanted to cover for the girl, so he said quite naturally: "Oh, I showed her your picture."

"——Why did you show my photo to others?!"

"Because I wanted to leave your phone number to her last night..." Dazai said righteously, but there was a subtle smile [you understand] on his face.

Kunikida Doppo, who was harassed by three strange women all night last night, almost couldn't hold back the impulsive thought of punching this guy's head off.

After being depressed for a few seconds, he suddenly realized: "Wait, are you just waiting for this girl to come over?"

"That's right." Dazai blinked happily, letting the clothes on his back and his underwear be completely wet by the sea water without saying anything.

"She..." Kunikida was stunned, thinking about the scene where the other party was covered in blood, had a serious shoulder injury and rolled in neatly, "Who is she?"

Unexpectedly, Dazai seemed equally puzzled: "How would I know this."

"???"

You don't even know the other party's situation, so you are just waiting here for an event with such a small success rate that it is almost impossible!

Kunikida was about to kneel down and kowtow to his wonderful partner.

If you are convinced, it will not work if you are not convinced.

So Kunikida heard the black-haired young man beside him shouting at the top of his voice, "Yao-chan, what are you doing now?"

"Are you asking me?" The voice of Shibukawa Yao tearing off the bandage came from under the bar, "I am now a student of Elliston Business School and a member of the school's swimming team."

"Here, this is the answer." Dazai turned his head and said to Kunikida Doppo, with a simple look that I believe it anyway, whether you believe it or not, "Do you have any questions, Kunikida-kun?"

Kunikida had no expression on his face, and he didn't want to answer this answer that sounded so fake.

Yoshi Shikawa finally felt better after treating the wound on her shoulder with a battlefield bandage. Since there were outsiders here, it was inconvenient for her to put on an assassin robe or a demon hunter costume, so she had to change into a normal one that was easy to swim. casual clothing (not bathing suits).

At this time, she happened to find a black one-shoulder cross-span backpack in the private cabinet under the bar, which was probably used by the bar staff before, so she simply poured out the sundries inside and put the light blue dragon egg in it. After entering, I carried it on my right shoulder properly, avoiding the newly bandaged wound on the left.

Kunikida Doppo stared dumbfounded at the brown-haired, blue-eyed girl who had changed into another outfit, completely confused about where her clothes came from.Do girls have to change their clothes all the time?

Dazai is used to it, anyway, even if Shibukawa Yao suddenly pulled out a dragon one day and said it was her son, he probably wouldn't feel so strange.

"What's in your backpack?" He asked casually.

Shibukawa Yao scratched his head, it was really inconvenient to reveal to everyone that it was actually an egg, so he could only answer vaguely: "It's a good thing. Don't worry, it's not heavy."

At this moment, she walked in front of the two of them—to be precise, the blond young man who was watching the play had already been automatically blocked and ignored by Shibukawa Yoshi—she looked at Osamu Dazai very seriously, as if she was about to hit someone at any time.

The face of the black-haired young man was full of anticipation but also somewhat bewildered, so Kaoru Shibukawa suddenly smiled happily: "Mr. Dazai, I am glad to see you alive."

"I'm also very happy." Dazai's kite-colored eyes flashed with tenderness that even he didn't notice, "...it's great to see that you're fine."

"—I'll talk to you later about those things later."

Shibukawa Yao refers to some things that happened after Long Hai ate himself.

Dazai nodded, also knowing that this is not a good place to talk: "Okay."

On the side, Kunikida Doppo looked at the two men in bewilderment, obviously both of them spoke very politely and stood not too far away, but behind the tone, it seemed that they were suppressing and holding back saying no. Purify unknown emotions.

What are you doing?

The girl took a deep breath to muster up some courage, looked at the fragile and uneasy smile on the other person's face, and then asked a question.

"Mr. Dazai, although it may be presumptuous to say this, but...can you give me a hug?"

The eyes of the other two people present widened.

But Yao Shibukawa smiled a little uncomfortable and continued: "Just think of it as a celebration of the fact that we are still alive? Unfortunately, my left shoulder was crippled and I can't lift it up temporarily, and three ribs on the right side were broken. Entered the gut...Although I don't think you will celebrate this kind of thing, but I still...well, I still want to invite you..."

give me a hug.

Before she finished speaking, Dazai nodded and opened his arms towards her: "If you don't think I'm covered in water...Of course, come here."

Osamu Dazai's actions were very gentlemanly, and he hugged the girl covered in injuries very gently.

But for some reason, he felt that he was the one who was hugged and comforted.
