Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

Bai Mu didn't guess that Zhong Ye's first reaction after hearing this sentence was to speed up his temper.

The gravity around him began to jump wildly, even the bricks on the ground flew up and revolved around them, "...do you like men?"

Bai Mu nodded, calmly: "Yes."

Nakaya became very irritable with the naked eye, he grabbed Shiraki, and looked like he wanted to shake the water out of his mind, "You - you were tricked by that bastard Dazai! I... ...I said, don't be tempted by that dog man's face! After all, does he have any other strengths besides his face?! And you have said it yourself, he is just a fly in the eye..."

Speaking of the latter, Chuya silenced himself, he felt that this sentence had color.

There is no one around, and the old town at night is very quiet.Shiraki's mood disturbed by Dazai suddenly calmed down at this moment.

He understood a truth, since Nakaya had partnered with Dazai before, he must have often been cheated by Dazai before.

Seeing that Shiraki was about to be led astray by Dazai, Nakaya, as a mafia, would one day have to brainwash a "abducted" teenager, "Don't let that bastard get close to you again! You pack your things now Come with me."

Shiraki tried to explain helplessly: "...Chuya, there is really nothing between me and Dazai."

"Huh? It's all like this, is it still nothing?" Zhongya's voice suddenly raised a pitch.

Probably because he was too angry, when Chuya was talking, there was the little tongue roll that had just flashed in the subway station, this time Bai Mu heard it clearly, so it was not an illusion.

Chu also looks at Bai Mu with regret, making Bai Mu feel that he seems to be watching an innocent boy who has fallen for scum.

But he's really not that kind of persona.

Now even if He Zhong tries to explain, under the current mood, it is difficult to achieve rational and effective communication.Sure enough, after a while, when both parties calmed down, he would find another opportunity to make an appointment alone, so as to clear up this misunderstanding.

Although Bai Mu doesn't care much about other people's evaluation and opinions on him, Zhong is not in the category of "others".In the last prison night raid, his battle plan left a very good impression on Zhongyuan Zhong, but this impression is mutual, Zhong is not a person who can talk about hype, his character is reflected in His actions are completely different from Dazai, and Shiraki has a good impression of him.

Zhong is also close to himself. Perhaps part of the reason is that Hong Kong and black realize the value of recruiting themselves, so they take the initiative to extend an olive branch, but under the premise that Bai Mu did not agree to anything, Zhong is already caring for him.

Although there was only one time to fight side by side...the time to repair the office of the Armed Detective Agency was not counted, but Shiraki had already seen that people like Nakaya were rare, and Shiraki felt that he should be more sincere to such a mafia of three good young people, There are fewer routines.

Shiraki turned sideways as if feeling a little troubled, letting the night blur his true expression at this moment, "I like men, but it has nothing to do with Dazai. As early as in high school... I was determined."

This sentence was sincere, and Chuya's irritability subsided to the normal level. He doubted: "Do you really have no idea about Dazai? Then... that's fine. It's not dangerous for you to live with me. My house is very big, and there won't be too many people." Interference in life, I will never attack you as despicably as he does, you follow me."

"So Zhong also completely missed the point." Few people come and go in the old city, even the night breeze and the stars are twinkling quietly, Shiraki's upturned eyes have an innocent look, and the curvature of his smile is beautiful, as if shy, but also as if It is cunning, "I am not worried that you will attack me, but I am worried that for a good-looking person like you, I will not be able to help myself..."

In Shiraki's intentional blanking, Chuya finally began to understand Shiraki's meaning, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Bai Mu looked at him with a smile, that smile was obviously pure and innocent, but he said something that made people easily fall into confusion.He seems to be sincere, but also seems to be ignorant and unaware, making it impossible to guess his true intentions at the moment, "Zhongye, it seems that you really don't know your own charm... your character , appearance, eye shape and hair color, all these grow on the aesthetic defense line that can break me the most. And you are like the sea in the harbor at sunset. I passed by that sea today when I was leaving school, and the sea reflects The orange sunset is a color that makes people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts."

"If I move into your house, I won't be able to bear it." Bai Mu said implicitly, "After getting to know you, I also cherish the friendship with you more and more, and I don't want to give up because of other factors. been destroyed."

Nakahara Chuya, a cadre of the port mafia, probably has never been praised so bluntly and poetically in his life.

He was dumbfounded, and after completely digesting this description, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't look directly at Shiraki's face.

His beautiful blue pupils were facing the brick-filled ground, and he unconsciously put the dusty hat in his hand on his head, completely forgetting that the hat had just rolled on the ground, and he still hated it all the time. I don't want to bring the fact.

Probably not knowing how to respond to such compliments and enthusiasm, after Chuya was extremely confused... he glanced at Shiraki tangled up, turned and ran away.

Shiraki watched Nakaya disappear across the road astonishingly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The smile also faded.

He promised those who sleep under the ruins not to lie to those who treat themselves sincerely.Even if they have different positions, don't hurt their hearts.

The matter of sexual orientation is true, and the enthusiasm to praise Zhongye is true, but it is also true that he does not want to live in Zhongye's house.

Although about the misunderstanding between himself and Dazai that came up tonight, here in Chuya, I am afraid that there is no chance to solve it for the time being.Taking a fancy to Zhong Ye's reaction, he must have started to avoid himself more or less during this period of time.

But Shiraki can accept this result.

In the past few days, he didn't find it strange that Zhongya, as a high-level mafia leader, could always get off work on time these days, and he seemed to be free after get off work, so he could come to see him if he had something to do.

There is a person who has been hiding behind the scenes, and seems to be slowly spreading a secret cobweb to himself through moistening things silently.But Bai Mu is not a blind butterfly who is not aware of it. His vision is always clear and he can choose his own direction.

Under the gentle galaxy, Bai Mu looked at his home in a daze.After Chuya left, he suddenly felt tired.

He looked at his home, and was a little too lazy to repair it. Who knows how long it will last after it is repaired.

But the painful truth still needs to be uplifted to face it.

Just as Shiraki activated his ability and began to analyze the basic composition of each substance left in the dust, he heard someone walking behind him.

"Akutagawa, what's the matter with you?" Bai Mu stopped and turned to ask the man behind him who was dressed as dark as night.

This top-to-bottom outfit is even darker than Zhongya's black cape and black hat. If you draw him at night, it's pretty useless.

At this moment, Shiraki kind of missed the first person who broke his peaceful life - Kajii Keijiro from Hong Kong, at least he still knew to wear a white lab coat, which was quite conspicuous at night.

Akutagawa held a familiar notebook in his hand, his expression was as cold as the night, "Since you already have Mr. Dazai, why are you still entangled with Senior Chuya? I will tell the truth about what I saw and heard just now." To Mr. Dazai."

After hearing this accusation, Shiraki even began to wonder what was written in Gin's notebook, why did Akutagawa have the illusion that his "personal relationship" with Dazai had risen to a "romance"?

"...How obsessed are you with Osamu Dazai? What's so good about that man?" Shiraki simply felt that there was nothing to say. Why is it that the members of the Armed Detective Agency are not human beings, but the Hong Kong gangsters are more pure-minded than the other?

Seeing Akutagawa's gloomy appearance, Shiraki coaxed casually: "Go, go, tell him quickly. If you don't leave, I'll even fall in love with you, okay?"

Akutagawa: "..."

He couldn't be scolded, and the beating was not justifiable. Akutagawa was so angry that he turned around and left, a bit embarrassed and fled.

At this moment, Shiraki reflected a little on his way of speaking today, and felt that he had been influenced by Dazai without knowing it.

Sure enough, the best way to deal with shameless people is to stop being human.Although the effect is amazing, Shiraki wants to be a man, so he must restrain the frequency of use.

After a day of trouble, Shiraki was really tired. He sighed, stood by the ruins and began to analyze various mixed construction wastes, and activated the ability "Material Reconstruction".

Particles as fine as the molecular level are restored according to the region and arranged in the usual way. For the irreparable parts, Shiraki chooses local materials, extracts energy and substances from the land and circuits, and then converts them into similar molecular structures, adding to the composition of the house.

After 5 minutes, you're done.He turned his head to look at the brightly lit room of his neighbor Akutagawa's house, and saw Gin with loose hair, lying on the window and watching him activate his powers, performing house reconstruction as if by magic.

Bai Mu nodded goodbye to her and returned to his home.

Everything in the house looks brand new, and it doesn't look like it was torn apart and dismembered just now.He started to dig out the motionless Ayaki from his own cocoon of spider silk.

Tired sniffed his clothes, recognized the reassuring smell, rubbed his hand subconsciously, and muttered: "...I smelled this smell when I first came here, don't you come looking for it?" Me, I'll go find you too."

Then I was tired and leaned on his hand, closed my eyes and gradually lost the sound, as if I fell asleep.

Do ghosts sleep too?It was also the first time for Shiraki to come into contact with ghosts in such a life-like way. Although he was not sure whether this phenomenon existed, he still carried him into the tatami room of the guest room, placed his small body on the soft on the bedding.

Although it is dangerous to be tired at night, Shiraki will be watching at home tonight. He will use his powers in his sleep to maintain Odasaku's physical condition. Look at the little kid in the next room.

After making the decision, Shiraki was very decisive and did not hesitate again and again. He drew the curtains for Ayaki Lei just like he did for humans, then closed the door and turned off the lights, and left lightly.

After Shiraki left, Ayaki who was lying on the bed opened his eyes tiredly.He didn't move, just stared at the ceiling, listening to Shiraki's voice.

After walking out the door, Bai Mu's footsteps paused for a moment.

He just suddenly realized something, what he did for Lei just now was actually what Oda did for him back then.

He is actually contaminated with the living habits of Oda Saku, and these traces will be reflected in his life, leaking from every breath of his.

Is it because Osamu Dazai's attitude towards him has changed because he has discovered details that he has not noticed yet?Maybe after I get a good night's sleep, I should carefully review the two confrontations between him and Dazai, and rethink how much information he has now.

It was already very late, Shiraki became more and more uncomfortable.

The source of this outbreak of illness was because he caught a cold after falling asleep in the ice room, but the illness kept recurring and could not be suppressed, but it was because he was too tired recently, suffered from severe lack of sleep, and used supernatural powers intensively for the sake.

If the reconstruction of the building only consumes three parts of his energy, then the supernatural operation of spleen repair, the before and after practice and the final on-site implementation are the other seven reasons why his body was exhausted in a short period of time.

The reconstruction of matter at the extremely microscopic level consumes three to five times more mental and physical energy than when using supernatural powers for regular people.Oda Saku had warned him back then not to use extra powers before his body matured, or when he was exhausted and had not rested.The enormous mental effort involved in activating his powers puts a damaging burden on his body.

In the evening, Bai Mu doubled his dose of medicine. He needed to suppress the cause of the disease as soon as possible and restore his health as soon as possible.When I was about to go to bed, I suddenly remembered something, and went to check the email that I didn't have time to check at noon today.

There was a letter from an acquaintance lying quietly in the work mailbox, which was a job commission from Sato.

His acquaintance with this swordsman of the Ghost Slayer Squad was really a coincidence, but in the past few years, the relationship between the two has been maintained in such a non-cold manner.

Ever since he knew that he was probably from the Taisho era, Shiraki had an understanding of some of his ways.

For example, Sabito has a kind of old-fashioned gentleman style that is hard to see in him, and he doesn't seem to like making phone calls very much. Although he has contact information with each other, Sabito has always preferred to transmit information in the form of text.

Strictly speaking, the work entrusted this time is not just rebuilding, but "rebuilding an old house into a brand-new storefront in the shortest possible time". Unlike previous work, if the rebuilding is just to follow the gourd The perfect restoration of the painted scoop, then "new construction" contains more designer elements, integrating decoration style, layout design, and even furniture selection.

These are two jobs, Shiraki will not take them.

…unless they pay three times as much.

Moreover, Sato is in a hurry, this time the work location is not in Yokohama, but in Hakata City.It seems that the industrial territory of Ubuyashiki continues to expand, and Shiraki has always felt that they, the ghost slayers living in the modern life, have transformed and adapted well.

Shiraki could leave Yokohama for two days and one night at most. Before leaving, he had to maintain Odasaku's body in the best condition, and he had to do emergency repairs after returning. If the time was prolonged, it would not work.

Normally, Shiraki would not leave Yokohama easily, but what happened recently... He suddenly felt that if he could leave Yokohama for a day or two to catch his breath and not look at the shocked faces of people who misunderstood the relationship between him and Dazai, in fact It's also a good thing.

So Bai Mu wrote back and put forward his asking price. The March appointment with the final payment of the blue Bana flower is still the focus of his work.Although he really wanted to go and finish the order right away, he was still a student, and he could only spare two days and one night on weekends to go to Hakata for the appointment.

After drinking the "medicine", Shiraki turned off the lights and went to bed.But that night he did not sleep soundly, even in great pain.

It was about three o'clock in the morning, and tiredness woke him up.

When Bai Mu woke up from the bed, he was so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to stab himself. He was a little confused, and after a while, he realized that his fever had not subsided, but had worsened violently.

His tired face doubled in front of him, his soft long white hair hung on his shoulders, his eyes were concerned, but the voice in his ears became closer and further away, "Bai Mu, you are burning too badly." Do you want me... Shall I take you to the doctor?"

"...No, I am myself." Bai Mu shook his head, only feeling dizzy for a while, based on his estimation of his condition now, he needs more powerful prescription drugs to suppress the high temperature.

Bai Mu was about to use his abilities to make a pair, but was held down by Tired, "Are you going to use the 'scientific' method you used last time? No, in the Chinese books I read before, there is an old saying that It's called 'doctors don't heal themselves'. You're in a coma now, and it's too easy to make mistakes."

These words reminded Bai Mu of the experience of bruising his legs when he activated his ability last time, and finally stopped insisting.

The temperature cooled down at night, and Bai Mu was really weak. Tired helped him get dressed. Bai Mu knew that he couldn't fall down now, so he braced himself to call a taxi and prepared to go to the hospital.

The taxi soon arrived at Bai Mu's house, and when Bai Mu walked out, he found that Tired really wanted to go out with him.

After the driver received an appointment to take the passengers to the hospital in the middle of the night, the experienced uncle had already guessed that someone in the family was sick, but when he saw a big boy being helped out by a white-haired child , still very surprised.

He took the white wood from Tired's hand, and touched Tired's hair kindly, "Thank you for your hard work, kid, you can go home, and I will send your brother to the hospital."

Ayaki lowered his head tiredly, but the driver didn't see his hands under the fluffy white head, and the pupils of tired eyes shrank, showing a ferocious intent that was not human.

The smell of humans is close at hand, and for ghosts who have fasted for several days, this is the most terrifying temptation.

Ayaki did not let go of Shiraki.

But the hand he put on Shiraki's back was suddenly so hard that it hurt Shiraki.

The pain made Bai Mu more awake. He saw the situation clearly, and after refusing the driver's support, he squatted down and squatted in front of Ayaki Lei.

From this angle, he was shorter than the standing Ayaki Lei, and he could clearly see the killing intent he was trying to hide.

The next moment, Tired suddenly felt Bai Mu's cold hand touching the side of his face.This coolness, which was more refreshing than the night breeze, made him stunned for a moment.

"Tired, I'm going to the hospital." The high fever made Bai Mu's speech a very laborious task, he gasped for breath, his voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind, "Don't go out at home, Help me guard this home. You are a good boy, I am willing to trust you, can you...don't let down my trust?"

Ayaki Lei's red pupils, which were originally full of fierceness, slowly suppressed his tyrannical emotions.He put his hand on the back of Bai Mu's hand, and held Shiraki's hand firmly, as if he was fighting against his instinct.

"...Okay, I promise you." After a while, Li let go of Bai Mu's hand and pushed him firmly to the car, "Come back early."

The driver had already seen that Bai Mu was in a state of illness. Thinking about this family, it was very pitiful. In the middle of the night, there was not even an adult, only two children. In such a situation, they didn't know who could take care of the other.

Feeling compassionate, he immediately started the taxi, and took Shiraki, who was a bit confused from burning after suddenly relaxing in the back seat, to the nearest hospital.

"Sir, are you okay?" The driver tried to talk, trying to keep Bai Mu awake, "Don't sleep, we will be at the hospital soon."

"...Well, I won't fall asleep." Bai Mu replied slowly, but he could see that he was trying his best to stay awake under such a uncomfortable situation, "This kind of thing... I have experience. These years ...I came here alone."

The bright and colorful street lamps outside the window flashed across Shiraki's out-of-focus eyes one after another. He leaned against the cold car window, as if trying to find a support for himself, "...alone, only I am alive..."

The driver frowned and asked, "Are you talking?"

Bai Mu didn't make a sound anymore, after a long time, his hot breath hit the car window, and was frosted by the cold air outside.

The ice crystals refracted the light into blurred light clusters, and for the lonely people in the early morning fainted the light of tear perspective.Those shakings that were usually buried in the deepest part of his heart were magnified countless times by this sudden high fever.

He curled up, and his voice was so blurred that no one could hear him clearly: "I just realized... So in your heart, the least important one is me... It's because I have done everything so well and made you worry so much, that's why I don't care about you." Is it left behind?"

I don't know how long it took, every second of the struggle became long, the stuffy car was opened, and the humid sea breeze from Yokohama blew in, the driver stopped the car, trying to wake up Shiraki from the back seat, "Sir... gentlemen?"

Shiraki curled up in the back seat without any reaction.

The person standing at the entrance of the hospital not far away heard the commotion from the taxi, turned around and said, "There seems to be some movement over there...Mr. Dazai, please wait a moment."

The man walked quickly to the side of the car and asked, "What happened and I need my help... Baimu!?"

The taxi driver, who didn't know how to deal with this situation, was also pleasantly surprised. He re-checked the appointment information on his mobile phone, "The name is... Nasu Shiraki, great, that's right! Do you know me?" Him? He's got a really bad fever."
