Disqualification

Sagiri Mountain is not far from Tokyo Prefecture, and it can be reached in a few days if you hurry up. After explaining to the editor Xiaozhuang, Dazai got on the car bound for the town and staggered to Sagiri Mountain.

The car stopped at the town closest to the mountain. He stood at the entrance of the town and looked into the distance. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and layers of skylight could not break through the barrier formed by the condensed mountain fog. It was clearly in the morning, but the mountains in the distance looked like ink paintings , Misty and hazy.

The people in the town get up early to work. The folk customs of this town are simple and simple, and few people from the new school pass by. Many grandparents who have never been to Tokyo see foreign clothes for the first time. : "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Sagiri Mountain."

"It's not easy to go up that mountain." The villagers flinched, "There is a lot of miasma, and there are also a lot of wild animals. Unless you find an acquaintance to take you up the mountain, there will be problems if you go there for the first time."

"Is there any reason for you to go to the mountain? If you can replace it, let's go to another place." He persuaded.

"No, no need." Dazai smiled, "I lived on the mountain for a while a few years ago."

"Besides, the purpose of this trip is irreplaceable." He said quietly, "I'm here to express my condolences."

……

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was lying on the bed.

His basic skills are not as good as Sato's, and he was seriously injured by a ghost when he first climbed the vine attack mountain. Under normal circumstances, the seriously injured selectors would definitely be eliminated, but Sato did not want to leave him, and instead hid him as a burden. In the cave, he went out alone and almost killed all the ghosts in the mountain.

I say "almost" because Sabito didn't come back.

At the junction of the sixth day and the seventh day, Sato went out again: "I'll go out and have a look, and I'll find you something to eat along the way." He specifically ordered, "You stay here until I come back."

"No need." At this time, Tomioka Yoshiyuki is not a tough guy, he is very shy, and Sato often dislikes his femininity, not like a real man, "It's only half a day, let's hide here together, wait Just go out when it's over."

"Idiot!" He just heard a snarl, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck back, "I want you to stay here, the injured people need nutrition more, I promised Mr. Dazai and Master Rinaki to take your whole beard and tail Go out, a man will never break his promise!"

He opened the vine curtain at the entrance of the cave and walked out with his back straight like a pine and cypress. This was the last time Tomioka Yoshiyuki saw Satu.

In the past, Saito would come back within two hours, but on this day, he did not show up until the sun rose and dawn came. Tomioka Yoshiyuki had a bad premonition in his heart, and he could only comfort himself that Saitu would probably go first Yamaguchi.

[How is it possible, he has been worried about the wound on my leg, even if he goes out normally, he still has to help me. ]

Saito broke off a branch and used it as a crutch for him. With the help of the crutch, he moved from halfway up the mountain to the mountain pass. There were many people standing under the wisteria flowers. Compared with seven days ago, there were almost no fewer people.

[No, no, there is no Sato everywhere. ]

"What a pity, that guy."

"That's right, he killed all the ghosts on the mountain. I heard from the master that it would be good to have three or four people after the selection. We all have thirty."

"That's why I say it's a pity..." This person was stopped when he finished speaking, Tomioka Yoshiyuki put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Are you talking about the person with flesh-colored hair and a fox mask? "

The other party froze for a moment and said, "Yes, you are..."

"I'm his younger brother." Yi Yong asked eagerly, "How is he?"

Both of them put on expressions of pity: "Ah, him."

"Eat by a ghost, it's halfway up the mountain." Another person said, "If we go now, we should be able to find his fox mask."

As the sun rises gradually, every inch of the Tengshi Mountain is exposed to the daylight and autumn light. Wisteria flowers surround the mountain, swaying flower branches all year round, and the fresh fragrance is introduced into people's mouths and noses.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was running in the mountains. He forgot the pain in his body. He stumbled as he ran, blood gushed upwards in his throat, and there seemed to be something lying on the ground not far away. When he looked closer, he saw a fox-like disaster relief mask. .

He tripped over a pebble on the ground.

[Sakura... Sakura...]

……

"Mr. Lintaki." Zuo Jinci was chopping firewood in the back mountain, and his mood was also very depressed. Fortunately, the mask covered his expression, so that people could not see his real thoughts. Makoto was cooking, and there was white smoke from the chimney Straight into the sky, he turned his head and said, "Long time no see, Dazai."

To Rinaki Sakonji, Osamu Dazai is also a strange person. He himself is a person who has traveled all over the world. Although he has devoted his life to killing ghosts and training swordsmen, he is not ignorant of the outside world. In the late Meiji era, civilization was enlightened. There are quite a lot of young people here. Zuo Rinaki recently passed by the Rokumeikan when he was on duty in Tokyo, and there was still the sound of music in the dark night.

In his cognition, a young man like Dazai would not be willing to go up the mountain, let alone believe in the existence of ghosts. When he called himself a folklorist and visited the mountain a few years ago, Rinaki Sakinji was very surprised.

[He is not bad. ]

Dazai gave Ryotaki Zuo the last lodging fee, and at the same time taught Satu and them as a cultural teacher. This man's knowledge reserve is not like a young man at all. Not only is he proficient in his own country's culture, but he is also very clear about foreign technology and logic. .

"The times have changed, Mr. Rinaki." He said, "In the early years, swordsmen were still fighting ghosts with swords and flesh and blood. With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, you will also develop more ways to fight ghosts." He said. Said, "The breathing method can only be mastered by people with good enough physical foundations, but guns are not. Creating more sophisticated weapons will be of great help in eliminating low-level ghosts."

Lin Taki did not expect this. Most of the people in the ghost killing team are far away from society. People who used to live in the city are rare. Ghosts are very shrewd. They like to attack people in the countryside. As for the attack in Tokyo Or the police will file homicide cases, and it is harder to convince intellectuals that ghosts exist than to kill them.

"May I submit this proposal to my lord?" he asked.

"of course can."

Ryotaki asked a question recently: "Dazai, how old are you this year?"

"This question..." He counted with his fingers, "Four hundred years? Five hundred years?"

Under the mask, Ryotaki Sakinji's eyes were wide open, and his muscles were also tense. There is no one who can live for four or five hundred years, but Dazai is not afraid of the sun. For some reason, Onimai Tsuji Wu Mi's name suddenly jumped into his mind.

"I lied to you." The young man said mischievously, "It should be 2425 years old. Of course, human beings can't live for 500 years." His expression when he said this was deeply imprinted in Lin Taki's heart.

At the end of the memory, Zuo Rinaki looked at him for the first time and sighed: "You really haven't changed at all."

"I'm still young, Mr. Ryotaki." Dazai said, "I'm very sorry about what happened to Usagi."

"There is nothing to regret," said the old man, continuing to cut firewood. "There is no one out of ten in the selection process. I have already prepared for them before they leave." Especially after so many years of attacking Tengshan, no child came back alive. of.

[As a trainer, I have failed terribly. ]

"That's what I said." The young man said with a smile, "To be more precise, he should be ready for Yiyong to leave but not for Sato, right?" He said, "The words of Lun Jianshu , Sato is far above Yiyong, and Yiyong-kun, although I shouldn't say that, but his quality as a swordsman is a bit low, and the other one is lacking in both strength and chivalrous heart." He said, "You Actually, I think that Sabito can come back alive, right?"

Zhu Xin's remarks made Rin Takizuo fall into silence for the first time, he really couldn't like Dazai, this young man was too thorough, and his teeth were too sharp, he would always speak out his thoughts.

[Did I ever think so, maybe?More is...]

The back room opened a gap silently, and closed it discreetly after Dazai said something.

"No." Zuo Rinaki replied recently, "I may have thought so, but according to my understanding of Sato, if he and Giyu are the only ones who come back, it must be Giyu."

"He was a man who kept his promise. Before he left, he told me that if a ghost wants to hurt Yiyu, he must step over his corpse." He said, "And he did."

"Hmm." Dazai covered his mouth with his hand, "I'm sorry, from this point of view you are quite right."

"Go and see Yiyong." Lin Taki sighed, "Isn't that why you came here?"

"No." Dazai said with a smile, "I still want to express my condolences to Satu-kun."

"Then you should go to Vine Attack Mountain."

"I've heard a saying that after death, the soul will return to the home of the living." Dazai said with a smile, "Then Sato-kun will definitely come back."

……

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was lying on the bed, his injuries were almost healed, but the mental pain had not recovered for a long time, every day he was living in the struggle of why he was not himself, just now he heard Mr. There was a sound, thinking about who came and pushed the door open, and happened to hear Dazai's words.

[I shouldn't be alive. ] He thought over and over again, [It would be good if Sato is alive. ]

The door was pushed open gently.

"Long time no see, Yiyong." The man called "Sir" knelt gently and sat beside him, "After receiving your news, I came from Tokyo without stopping, and I am very relieved to see that you are still alive. "

[nonsense. ] Tomioka Yoshiyuki retorted in his heart, [Even in the past, Sato and Mako were more pleasing. ]

He brought the topic back to the original point: [It would be fine if I was the one who died. ]

"I'm glad Giyu-kun finally understands me." Dazai said, "I said I wanted to die earlier, but Sato-kun was still scolding me loudly, but I can feel that Giyu had vaguely understood what I was thinking right then. Well, your own death will be worth more than your own life."

[Is death more valuable than survival? ]

He was torn in two, one half thought Dazai was talking nonsense, the other half thought he was right.

"But Yiyong, you and I are people who can't die now." He said the second half of the sentence softly, "Even if you want to die again, and think that your life is meaningless, it's time to bear the burden. After the weight of the two lives of Tsutazi and Satu, you can't leave."

[Why?Why……]

"Giyong's life is no longer just your own life," he said, "You are the life of Sato, who tied you to the ugly world with his lonely soul. No matter how painful it is to live, you have to Struggling to live while spurning my own weakness and incompetence."

"It's pathetic" he said

[It's disgusting. ]

The author has something to say:

tons of tons of black mud

How did Tie Hanhan cultivate "I'm different from you"?
