Disqualification

University of Tokyo, 21:[-] p.m.

Yoshiko sat on the sofa stiffly, her hands with sharp nails were entangled. Right now, she showed quite a lot of inhuman traits, such as an excessively pale complexion, erect pupils, and fangs in her mouth.

Dazai seemed unaware of the many visions, busy back and forth: "What do you want to drink, tea? Coffee?" He paused slightly, "Or blood?"

Yoshiko Takano jumped up from the sofa: "Mr. Dazai?"

"Don't be too surprised." Dazai said, "I'm also a folklorist anyway, and I'm very familiar with wild ghosts in the country, and I've dealt with them before." He smiled, "So, it's still blood, right?"

"No need!" Ryoko Takano wailed sharply, "No need!" She covered her mouth with her hands to prevent Dazai from seeing the fangs and the saliva constantly secreted in her mouth, a ghostly appearance emerged on her face, unable to maintain the human skin, But big drops of tears came out of the eyes.

"I just can't control myself, I just want to meet Dazai-sensei again in the end, and I have no other ideas!" She shouted vaguely, with a hint of sadness in her voice, Yoshiko almost wanted to leave the room, but her Her body, her hands and her feet couldn't be controlled, she was nailed to the same place, her consciousness became very blurred, her soul was almost torn in two, one half kept clamoring, clamoring, clamoring, trying to tear the man in front of her apart. broken.

"Please stay away from me, Teacher Dazai!" She bent down in pain, "Leave here, the farther the better, the farther the better."

[has no meaning? ] He thought coldly in his heart, [I have never seen a ghost that can resist the desire to eat people. ]

[No matter how much you insist on now, how much human nature remains, ghost nature will always surpass human nature, and appetite is higher than everything else. The more depressed you are now, the more turbulent it will be when it explodes. When you come, you will cry bitterly and ask yourself what you have done. ]

He has long understood that a ghost with humanity is a tragedy among tragedies.

"Okay then." No matter how much he thought in his heart, he still looked like a good man on his face. He put down his cup and spread his hands, and walked out the door without haste.

"Please lock the door, Dazai-sensei!"

The heavy door was closed. The door was made of solid wood, and the threshold was covered with carpet. The closing speed was very slow. No matter how hard someone pulled it, it was only a few seconds faster at best. Before the crack of the door was closed, a pale hand was stuck in the door. Intersection with the door frame.

Veins protrude on the back of the hand, and sawdust is stuck between the nails.

The door was slammed open, and Ryoko put another hand on Osamu Dazai's shoulder.

[really. ]

He coaxed Quan Quan to the female ghost who was grabbing him from behind: "Eat more, Ryoko, tear up all my flesh and bones, and eat them into my stomach." Eat quickly, don't make me too miserable."

[If you enter the water, you can only feel the pain of suffocation, and you can't get anything except the pain of being strangled by hanging. I have tried countless ways to die. Apart from feeling the pain, this weird body cannot usher in real death , Only after being eaten and digested from head to toe can the body be turned into particles of light. However, after a period of time, ten years, 20 years, or 100 years, the light particles will be integrated again, allowing me to be resurrected in the world . ]

[I am cursed with the inability to die. ]

……

University of Tokyo, 23:[-] p.m.

faster!faster!Hurry up!

Butterfly Chanae was flying in the dark night, she couldn't laugh, her expression was very serious, somehow, from tonight onwards, a vague sense of uneasiness has been hovering in her heart, it was not obvious at first, after the crows clamored for danger, she felt heavy Emotions gushed out.

I saw it, I saw the gate of the teaching building, but besides the gate, there was another person stationed at the gate, wandering around, she felt that the man looked familiar, and after looking closer, Kanae exclaimed: "Mr. Takano?!"

The skeleton-like man turned his head to look at Butterfly Chanae, his expression was very sad, and his despair was like a dark cloud, wrapping him tightly.

The smell of blood on his body became stronger, and thick bandages were wrapped around his elbows, shoulders, and cheeks. When he saw Butterfly Chanae, his whole body was shocked, and he bowed deeply: "Please, Miss Butterfly."

"Please, please save Ryoko."

"There must be a way to change her back, right?"

……

The saliva smeared on Dazai's shoulder, he felt the pain of being bitten, and beads of cold sweat covered his forehead: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts—" he said, "It's a little lighter, Ms. Takano, I hate pain the most gone."

The female ghost behind him didn't hear his voice, and was still swallowing.

He once heard from ghost hunters that some ghosts possess special blood ghost skills, but he has seen many ghosts, but none of them can perform blood ghost skills, but he was surprised when he heard ghosts before killing them. Sui Sui Nian: "Damn it, why, why can't I use the vampire technique! It shouldn't be like this".

[Ms. Gao Ye is so smart and strong-willed, she should be able to awaken vampire art. ]

In the endless pain, he still had to think about something else, Dazai suddenly said: "I actually thought about the ending of "Female Reporter", Miss Takano should not be in the lecture just now, I just have time to spare, just Let me tell you."

He said, "Although you may not be interested in listening."

"Ah Zhong was very lucky. She successfully became a female telephone operator. Female telephone operators can earn a lot of money these days, and she was appreciated by her superiors because of her polite conversation and good performance. Yuan female workers." During the Taisho period, earning [-] yuan was already the highest salary for women.

"She rented a room with only three tatami mats. She worked during the day and studied hard at home at night. She was soon admitted to the Tokyo Women's Normal School and continued her studies. Her father and elder brother had long since given up looking for her. People like them Family, the lintel is more important than Ah Chong, and I told my fiancé early on that my daughter died of a sudden illness and could not fulfill the marriage contract. The two of them just thought that Ah Chong, a daughter, had never appeared in the family."

"For the girl, this is actually a good thing. She was not disturbed by her family on the way to school incognito. She graduated smoothly and entered the society to find a job. Unfortunately, no newspaper office accepts female reporters. She can only go to As a teacher in a girls' school, and under the pen name of Maisui, she continues to contribute articles to newspapers, all of which are articles that criticize the current situation."

"Her writing is very good, and her perspective is novel. There are often images of prostitutes/vagrants in her articles, and she has sympathy for them. The Kanto earthquake has not passed for a long time, and Japan has just introduced new concepts such as charity and disaster relief. , Articles that conformed to the trend of the times soon showed their heads and feet, and he was invited by major newspapers to meet."

"The editor-in-chief was shocked when he saw that she was a woman. This editor-in-chief is very courageous and likes to take a slanted edge. After asking her aspirations, she was made the No. 1 female reporter in Japanese history."

"The whole society was shocked, and Ah Chong, who was pushed to the forefront, became a female spokesperson, a social star-like existence, and she vowed to fight for the rights of millions of women, gearing up to start a career. "

"But Ah Zhong soon discovered that the newspaper only needed her to be a mascot to prove their enlightenment, and it was far from her turn to write the social edition. Even the interview work interviewed people who were curious about her. There is no shortage of slick tongues who will take advantage of the opportunity. She wanted to write some articles about the tragedy of the Yoshihara woman, but she was sent a threatening letter first. In the past, she used a pseudonym as a cover, but now everyone knows her identity.

The father and elder brother jumped out of nowhere and wanted to admit her back home, but she refused, so the father sent a message to all walks of life saying that she had worked so hard to raise Ah Chong, but her daughter didn't know how to be grateful, and even wanted to sever ties with the family and leave. , Numerous men criticized her, some said she was not filial, some said that her professional ability was poor, and some even verified the articles she had written in the past, saying that her previous articles were all written by ghostwriters, women are not It is possible to write such excellent texts. The evidence is that she has no major reporting output after she became a female reporter in a newspaper office. "

"Her dreams of women have been shining for three years, but they were pushed down by the wall in an instant. How much the society praised her before, how much it discriminated against her afterwards."

"The newspaper fired her. She is no longer a female reporter. On a certain day, Ah Zhong lay on the railway track, and let the rumbling train crush her body."

"That's the story."

The force of sucking the flesh and blood on his shoulder stopped, one drop, two drops, tears slid down the tip of her chin, blood and flesh foam covered Ryoko Takano's face.

"Huh?" Dazai turned his head, and then he opened his eyes wide. The struggling humanity and intense grief in Takano Yoshiko's pupils were imprinted in his eyes. Dazai thought: [I have never met such a ghost. ]

Meet the ghost who can temporarily overcome the bloodthirsty desire and find the true self.

The current scene challenged his years of cognition. The cold water dripped into the wound, and the salt made the wound more painful, but he didn't quite understand it, let alone be sure.

[Is she crying? ] He thought, [overcome instinct and cry like a human being? ]

He was too uncertain, so he stretched out his fingertips, as if he wanted to touch the tears on Ryoko Takano's face.

"Mr. Dazai!" Kanae's voice came from not far away, her light footsteps were like drumbeats, and she landed on the ground, and soon Kanae saw the cannibal female ghost, and she was terrified The upper half of the face is endless.

"Ryoko?!" she exclaimed in astonishment.

Killing evil spirits, the evil spirits that cannibalize, attack, and hurt people must not be let go. Humans and ghosts can get along well, after all, it will be a dream. Butterfly Chana Hui thought, if ghosts do not eat living people, they only eat chaos. The dead in the burial mound, they might be able to get along well, but as long as the flesh and blood of the living are still attractive to ghosts, they can't restrain their desire——

[Could it be that no matter how good a person was in life, his appetite will overwhelm his humanity after he turns into a ghost? ] There was a burst of anger in her heart, not against Takano Yoshiko, but against the chief culprit, the culprit of all tragedies, Onimai Tsujimusan!

"I'm sorry Ryoko." She raised the knife and frowned, "I won't make you suffer."

The weeping female ghost stretched out her hands and embraced death.

[Sorry, sorry, really sorry! ]

[It would be great if I was stronger, if I could kill Onimai Tsuji, it would be great if I could be there when you encounter misfortune. ]

"I hope you can become a proud female doctor in your next life."

Knife up.

whereabouts.

"Ryoko, Ryoko, Ryoko—" Mr. Gao Ye stumbled forward, his hoarse voice echoing in the bleak north wind.

……

Twelve past nine.

"She has eaten my meat." Gao Ye said, "She has only eaten my meat."

He said something to Butterfly Kanae, including the encounter in the alley near the school, which made Kanae fall into silence, and Dazai Osamu, he never spoke.

In the full moonlight, three or two moths flew around the lamp, occasionally making two sizzling sounds, and their thin wings were scorched.

He lit a cigarette, which was a foreign thin-tube cigarette, and the white fingers on the scene elegantly held the cigarette tube, beautiful and decadent, under the shrouded clouds and mist, no one could see Dazai Osamu's expression clearly.

Kanae hesitated for a while and asked: "Then did she go to revenge on Toda?" She bit her lower lip uneasily, feeling that this question insulted Yoshiko, but she had to say, "After becoming a ghost , Some of them will participate in sporadic memories, most of which are about revenge, and wanting to take revenge on those who bullied them during their lifetime, the idea of ​​hatred is magnified several times."

"She really wanted to," Gao Ye said, "but she didn't do that." He said sadly and proudly, "Ryoko said that if she did that, she would be like Toda."

"She's a fool who retaliates with kindness."

Gao Yecong took out a notebook: "This is what she wants to give you." He said, "Ryoko happened to see your heroic figure of killing evil spirits during a night tour before, and made a decision after watching it for several nights." "Ryoko guessed that she was no longer human, and she performed some experiments on herself and even performed an autopsy with my help," he said.

"!!!"

"We don't know if this will help your career," Takano said. "It would be great if it did."

Butterfly Chanae's fingers were trembling, she took the notebook tremblingly, and buried it deeply in her bosom.

"It helps," she murmured, "Of course it helps."

[She is such a good girl. ]

"The only pity is that I couldn't hold back and attacked others." Takano knelt on the ground and saluted Dazai, "I'm really sorry, Teacher Dazai."

He silently extinguished the cigarette butt, took two steps forward, and squatted on the ground.

"If it is said," he said, "to distinguish between humans and ghosts spiritually, then there is no doubt that she died as a human being."

"!!!"

Is he smiling? Maybe, maybe not: "At the last moment, Ryoko took the initiative to let go of my shoulders. She has been resisting the evil spirit's instinct until the end, until the last second of her life."

"She's a very, very nice, very, very good girl." Dazai said with lowered eyelids, "I'm sorry."

"No, you, you..."

[Like a writer like me, maybe it is the source of her misfortune. ]

[Stupid girl. ]

"She was really stubborn and stupid," he said.

"!"

"But." Dazai said, "this is the best."

[Human beings are extremely stupid and ugly, but this is good. ]

In a daze, he seemed to hear someone talking in his ear, it was a man, an adult male, he said in confusion: "But Dazai, you like humans, right?"

who is it?Who is saying this?Why do I not remember this person, why do I have the urge to cry just hearing his voice?

In a brief second, his heart was twitched.

Dazai heard himself say, "I want to write a new ending for "Female Reporter"."
