can you see me

When he opened his eyes again, his line of sight was a cold and smooth black wall.

I felt that I slept a little longer than expected, and my limbs were a little stiff, probably because I was afraid that I would wake up halfway, and I was injected with an anesthetic shot.And when I sat up, the anklets on my feet rattled.I just noticed that in order to restrict my freedom, they tied my ankles.

The handcuffs are so heavy that it hurts just to press on the back of my feet.

I continued to touch the wall, and it felt a little wet and cold, but when I rubbed it carefully, there was no water. It must be such a coldness in many floors underground.After all, it is summer on the surface.The room I am staying in now is more like a dungeon, but what is better than the dungeon is that in addition to the futon bed, it also has old but clean mahogany tables and chairs, and lamps fixed on the wall.The entire orange light also poured down from the wall, giving the illusion of being illuminated by the sun.

It is probably equipped with a toilet for public use. For protection, there are no cameras in the house.

This treatment is much better than the underground dungeon in Hong Kong.

I moved the chair away, sat at the table, and began to look through the memory fragments stored in the depths of my mind, which I filed as "files"——

Now, I should not die.Or, at least until Shitong Zhengyi died, he would not kill me, or see me in danger.Because, when I left Academy City and returned to Hong Kong, I wrote a letter to Shitong Zhengyi, making him be afraid of the mouse. The only thing I can do is to "control me as soon as possible", the best way is to " Turned me into a vegetable too."

When I sat on the chair and flipped through "Memory", the iron door of the room was pushed open. Because of the old relationship, the iron door hinge made a loud noise.This was actually set up on purpose. If someone went out of the room, the sound of the door opening would be enough to alarm the guards.

It was Ango Sakaguchi in a brown suit who came in, and he let the investigator in a black suit follow behind to guard the door.And after he closed the door, he pushed his round glasses and stood close to the door out of my reach, as if he was worried that I would suddenly get violent and beat him up.

"Ayanokōji, you're awake."

"Yeah." After I glanced at him, I didn't intend to continue looking at him, but closed my eyes and started to meditate.

Ango Sakaguchi took a deep breath, and said straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush, I want to ask, where is the 'book'? "

"What book are you talking about?"

"We found that the "book" in the Ability Secret Service Division was missing. "Ango Sakaguchi seemed unwilling to use an overly excited tone. Correspondingly, he said with a tone of discussion in his voice, "Ayanokōji, I already know that you are not the investigator of the Supernatural Secret Service Division.Next, by being honest with each other, you could have a better life here. "

better days?

Is the premise "here"?

"You know, what is the best experience I got in Academy City?" I said flatly, ""People without abilities are the lowest existence in the entire Academy City. They will be exploited and protected." "

Sakaguchi Ango's voice was puzzled: "What do you want to say?"

"Because a person without supernatural powers is very weak, just a little abuse and torture will make him collapse, and he will even die if he is not careful. You will not let me fall into this danger."

"Are you threatening us not to be rough on you?"

"No, I'm just giving a suggestion. After all, I'm more vulnerable than you think." I stopped the question, asked what I wanted to ask the most, and said, "Since you're here, let's have a friendly activity first." .You ask me a question, and I ask you a question too. How is Qingwu doing now?"

"You didn't answer me just now." Sakaguchi Ango said directly.

"That is, he ran away in time."

"...I didn't say that."

"but I know."

Seeing that I was in a stable state of mind, Ango Sakaguchi sighed, walked to my bed and sat down, scratched his head irritably, and said: "I didn't catch you on purpose, the superior ordered. They know that I have always I have contacted you to let me do this. I have no reason to refuse. Because you are not an investigator, and you have stolen the most important "book".When did you do this? "

"The words 'I'm not an investigator' are actually inaccurate. "I said slowly, "If you heard it from your superiors and you know "No. [-]", you should know that the person who was the investigator at the time was also "Ayanokōji Kiyotaka", but we are different individuals That's all.As for "stealing", do you have evidence that I stole it? "

"The Shidou Cabinet has already said that you have received your letter. You wrote in the letter that you stole the "book" that can change reality, and on the title page of the book you wrote "If Ayanokōji Kiyotaka dies, then Shidou Masayoshi will die." I will die a terrible death", I also checked the memory of the letter, it was indeed written by you. "

"...that's not what I said."

I remember that I wrote the curse that Shitong Zhengyi was ruined, and his descendants would die badly. He copied thousands of words in various novels, movies and TV shows.When I was copying, I felt that the wisdom of human beings is really infinite. Even curses can be written in so many ways. Anyway, at the end of the curse, life is worse than death.

Ango Sakaguchi felt a little speechless for a while, just like Shidou Masayoshi didn't let him see the whole content, and he knew what was said in it by reading his memory: "Do you want me to repeat it?"

"can."

"..." Ango Sakaguchi was choked, and then he sighed and said, "Dealing with you always feels as difficult as dealing with Dazai. He asked Oda to record a short video and send it to me, saying that if I really If it’s not good for you, five children will take turns to spit at me. Let the youngest, Sakule, still follow him, look at the camera, shave his face half-ignorantly and say, Uncle Sakaguchi, shameless, working for a tiger, working in collusion , following the trend..."

"...What is he doing?" I was speechless instead.

"Obviously, don't you want me to protect you?"

When Sakaguchi finished speaking briefly, it was as if he was caught off guard by someone blowing cold air on his neck. I felt my goosebumps crawling from my spine to the upper layer of my scalp.

I'm a little physically ill.

"Mr. Sakaguchi, your imaginative ability has surpassed my imagination. No matter how you look at it, Mr. Dazai is protecting you. You are helping Shidou justice now, and you will not end well in the future."

"However, even if it's not for the Shitong Cabinet, I still need to find the "book" for the Supernatural Secret Service Division. "Ango Sakaguchi said calmly. "Shitong Pavilion has dispatched psychic powers to try to read your memory.Before I was there, I tried and even went to your home.I didn't find you have any "book" memories?However, the "book" placed in the Supernatural Secret Service Division has indeed disappeared, leaving only a fake ordinary book.

Ayanokōji, I'm not scaremongering. Instead of letting other people interrogate you and make you suffer, you should tell me the truth now.When did you change it?where are the books "

"You know, in the gangster movies, if the justice party tortures the prisoner, they will buy a bowl of pork chop rice at their own expense for the prisoner to eat? Then the prisoner will cry and say, "I did it." "

"...This is a meme for decades... If you can say it, I can buy it."

"Trouble." I said kindly.

I just said this casually, but in the end, Ango Sakaguchi really asked someone to buy it for me.

So, I was silent for a while, and then I said: "When I changed identities with No. [-], didn't you also notice it? I am a person without supernatural powers, and I can't do so much by myself."

Ango Sakaguchi reacted immediately, and said, "So, someone is helping you, so is the "book" also held by him? "

"I didn't say anything like that."

"I already have the answer."

Ango Sakaguchi stood up, as if he was going to look for it immediately.

I followed him to the door and said, "Even if you had already monitored everything when I returned to Yokohama, it was useless. You couldn't catch him."

"Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky from 'The Rat of the House of the Dead', right?During the Longtou Anti-Japanese War, when he came into contact with Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, we paid attention to it, but we didn't expect him to be so ambitious. "Sakaguchi Ango thought deeply.

Before he left, I asked, "Can I have a book?"

"what do you want?"

"Machiavelli's."

"Do you want to insinuate the future power politics of the Shido Pavilion?" Ango Sakaguchi sighed and said with some helplessness.

"That's not the case." I said, "I simply think that Chief Sen's way of handling things also has the shadow of Machiavelli, and he can use whatever means for the purpose."

Ango Sakaguchi didn't seem to understand why Mori Ogai was mentioned at this time, but he did have some feelings after experiencing the mimic incident.

"Do you think that Mori Ogai betrayed Shido about your return to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang? That's why we will know your whereabouts immediately? However, if it is Mori Ogai, I do agree that he may do this."

It seems that Ango Sakaguchi has very little information.

I said: "These are just conjectures, without evidence. I just suddenly remembered that Machiavelli once wrote a sentence for his city Florence before his death, "I love my hometown more than I love my soul."I think Chief Mori is just like him.However, I think that if I have time, I would like to read the book. "

Ango Sakaguchi didn't know what to say, and said, "Ayanokōji, do you know that you won't be able to escape this time? You might be locked up here forever. If you didn't trust me, I wouldn't have succeeded either. You won't be locked in either. No matter what, I'll try to take care of you."

"Now you also know where to find the 'book', and I was also imprisoned here.Are you still going to continue to deal with No. [-] who is fleeing? "

"The higher-ups say that killing hands is not allowed, and we will ensure that he enters this dungeon safely. Do you have any other requirements?"

It appears that there is no room left.

I felt that there was nothing to talk about, so I said, "Then I don't have any problems, just let it be."

"If you have any difficulties, you can ask them to tell me at any time, and I can bring you something."

I didn't answer, just continued to close my eyes and meditate.

I don’t know how long after Ango Sakaguchi left, the iron gate opened again, and the investigator who was sent out to buy pork cutlet rice brought a takeaway box and disposable bamboo chopsticks and placed them on the table in front of me.

"Ayanokouji-kun."

The voice came from above my head.

As I was opening the takeaway box, my face was held up by the slightly cold hands of the other party, and my eyes directly hit the smiling pupils of the other party.

He laughed and repeated: "Can you see me?"

As soon as I said this, I was instantly upset.

He's messing with me again...
