Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

"I... have also thought about whether those bifurcation points in life, if there is a difference in thought, will give rise to another possibility, proceed in another timeline that we cannot see, and push everything to another unknown development direction……"

"Maybe there is such a possibility, but we can only really live in the present." Bai Mu stopped, "Just like I had two choices in my mind just now, the first choice is that I just perfunctory the past, avoiding and You talk about this meaningless topic. The second option... is to talk to you about this nonsense issue in a little depth like now. So at that point in time, two possibilities were extended. "

"Here I chose the second direction. In fact, this is not necessary. Because time cannot be traced back, there is no if. Every past choice leads us to the current destiny."

Although he denied this approach, Bai Mu implemented a decision that contradicted himself, "If you use the theory of parallel spaces to imagine other life trends, then among the thousands of possibilities, there must be One, I chose the first possibility and ended the topic directly."

Dazai Osamu, who stopped beside him, just put his hands in his pockets and looked at him. They were on the streets of Yokohama, but the atmosphere was not tit for tat.

Osamu Dazai had a faint smile on his face. If he hadn't just had one eye blacked out by Kunikida, the standing posture in a windbreaker at this moment would have been very eye-catching on the street.

...But of course, now his image has also achieved a high return rate in reverse. People passing by can't help but glance at this handsome young man who was beaten, and speculate on what happened to him.

Dazai Osamu's voice was gentle, "Then what changed your mind? Xiao Shiraki."

"Because the weather has gotten warmer recently, making people restless." Shiraki lowered his head and unbuttoned his cuffs tightly. He glanced at Dazai's composure as if he knew everything, lowered his head and whispered, "... Probably because, sometimes, I also..."

There will be doubts and loneliness.

When you are not sure whether you are on the right path, you will subconsciously seek the approval of those around you.

Not being able to use abilities recently, Bai Mu will inevitably feel his own fragility.With Dazai's intervention, he seeks allies for the first time.

But after the clam pries open the tightly closed clam shell, it will reveal a soft gap.In the meeting just now, the person they missed was mentioned again.The pretense of invincibility in the past is slowly melting, and the heart is softer than ever.

The timing was right, this was the only time he had the desire to confide everything to Dazai.

——The goal he is desperate for, he never dares to let himself relax and doubt for a moment, he has the determination to sacrifice everything for it.

But will this decision of disregarding the morality of life and death be accepted by everyone, especially the people he resurrected... He never dared to think about it, even if he just opened his mind, he would immediately force himself stop.

What is hidden deep inside is fear.

He is not a god, but he wants to exercise the god's right to decide life and death.The secrets that were hidden by him, if he hadn't covered his eyes, they really wouldn't exist in the world.

God didn't give him this chance.

The taxi stopped by the side of the road interrupted Shiraki's words, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it anymore.

In order to reduce the risk of being exposed to the public, Shiraki chooses more private taxis as much as possible during this time. Although the cost is expensive, compared to the huge final payment of the blue Bianhua, several thousand yuan is just a small amount of money.

After getting into the taxi with Dazai, they didn't talk to each other along the way.Walking together is temporary, and even Bai Mu at this time doesn't know whether they will end up walking together, or part ways after a short trip.

The taxi drove all the way back to Shiraki's residence, and after getting out of the car, as long as Baimu returned home, Ayaki was tired to ensure his safety.

He just needs to make an appointment with someone from the Armed Detective Agency in advance every time he goes out for the next period of time.Kunikida specifically asked Shiraki to contact him immediately if any new situation arises.

But the purpose of Bai Mu's trip to the detective agency...is not to ask them for help to protect his safety.

Just like what he planned before, the next cooperation between the two parties can only be regarded as walking on the same road.He has his own purpose, no matter what Dazai investigates, he can get what he needs with the Armed Detective Agency.

When standing at the door of the house, Shiraki put his little finger with ghost blood behind his back, thanked Dazai politely, and refused his request to come into his house to make a living.

Dazai expressed his regret, and before Shiraki entered the door, he suddenly took out an unopened bag of pink cotton candy from the windbreaker pocket and handed it to Shiraki, "I've already found out that there are cotton candies on the street when Shiraki walks by." When you visit a candy shop, you will spend a few seconds staring at it... You really like this thing, right?"

Shiraki silently stared at the bag of cotton for a moment, knowing that Dazai had already seen through his preference, so he might as well just accept it.

Walking into the house with his back to Dazai, it was darkness without sunlight.

This made Bai Mu feel at ease with familiarity.Not to mention there was another Ayaki Lei who had known about his return long ago and was eagerly welcoming him at the door.

Tired seemed very happy, "I have become more and more aware of your feelings recently. I knew you were coming back when you were 200 meters away."

In the home where the sunlight was completely cut off, Bai Mu took off the airtight finger cot with confidence, revealing a short little finger, "With just such a little blood, can you feel my position?"

"Yes." Ayaki Lei replied affirmatively, "Stronger ghosts, such as Shangxian ghosts, have a stronger range of perception and are very sensitive to special smells. But you and I are similar in blood, so even if we Even if the distance is far, I can feel your position."

Looking forward to Bai Mu's tiredness, he happily stretched out his hand to help Bai Mu with his schoolbag.

Shiraki thought about the accident in Bodo last time, it seemed that it was because of the smell of his blood that he actively attracted trouble to the door.When he handed his schoolbag into tired hands, he suddenly understood what he had been hesitating all along.

Around his neck is the bright blue tourmaline that Odasaku left him.

But he doesn't know if he can actually fulfill Odasaku's last expectation of him and become someone recognized by Odasaku.

He has already embarked on a dangerous path. Even when facing his truly trusted companions, he will be extremely cautious and tight-lipped, absolutely not revealing that he has the ability to resurrect.

This dangerous ability subverts the ethics of life and death, and it will definitely cause an uproar.Regardless of success or failure, it will bring a huge crisis to himself.

He is not afraid that something will happen to him, but he is afraid that before his accident, he will not be able to fulfill this long-cherished wish for many years, because of side effects, and the success will fall short.

So he must not allow accidents to appear.

The closer it is to the last moment, the more we cannot relax our vigilance.All those who might know that he has a secret, Shiraki must make sure that they cannot get more clues.

It was unexpected to be entangled by this invisible metamorphosis who knew about his past with Oda.What he needs to confirm is that he cannot passively fall into the hands of the pervert before his ability is restored.

Just give him a little more time... When his powers recover, everything can go back to normal.Those who should shut up, Baimu will not let them speak again.

In the next few days, Bai Muzhai's life at home was actually very orderly, because there was no outside disturbance, whether he was self-studying to keep up with the medical school courses, or reading heart surgery papers at his own pace, the progress was very fast. very gratifying.

He stored enough food to avoid frequent going out.As long as he is at home, Ayaki will spread spider silk on all doors and windows, ready to cut the intruders into pieces.

After leaving in a hurry that day, he kept in touch with Bai Mu by phone every day to confirm his safety.The progress of Zhongye's investigation seems to be very slow. He has been very busy for the past two days, and it took three days before he had the opportunity to make up for the missed dinner appointment with Shiraki.

Bai Mu read the book for three consecutive days at home, and if he could have a chance to catch his breath, he naturally readily agreed.It's just that there is not much food in the house, and if he comes to visit in the middle of tomorrow, he has to go out to buy something.

Temporarily escaping from the vast sea of ​​books, Bai Mu took off his anti-fatigue frame glasses and walked into the bathroom. When he was about to wear black color contact lenses to hide his congested pupils, he saw his appearance clearly in the mirror.

It symbolizes the excessive use of supernatural powers, and the bloodshot red pupils are still there in the morning, but at night, they have disappeared without a sound.

This is the sixth day after he completely disabled his abilities.

Compared with the previous time when he needed to rest for more than two weeks, this time his recovery speed broke through the previous limit.

Shiraki closed his eyes and activated the ability that had been silent for six days. After the ability restarted, the layout of the entire room was reconstructed into a picture in his mind in the form of matter.

...His powers were drawn very smoothly, and the majestic energy source was awakened silently. Bai Mu almost confirmed the direction of his power strengthening this time - the charging speed was accelerated, and the recovery time of the power was shortened.This is a very important buff, greatly extending the duration of his ability.

The pink marshmallow that Dazai handed him three days ago, Shiraki kept in the refrigerator and never ate it.

It's not that he doesn't like cotton candy.

It's just that he thinks that Dazai, a person who can only eat him and take him, would take the initiative to buy him snacks, has some meaning in itself.

So he took a look with his ability, and found that there was indeed something else in the cotton candy—in the cotton that seemed to have never been opened at all, every one was stuffed into a very small nano-scale signal transmitter by Osamu Dazai. "Shooting" device.

Bai Mu analyzed the composition of the substance a little bit. It is impossible to find this thing without looking carefully. After entering the digestive system, it will not cause danger to the human body, and it will leave by itself after staying in the body for three or four days.

In other words, if he really ate this marshmallow, Dazai could track his position in the next three to four days.

So Dazai Osamu, the previous gentle care was all to relax his vigilance?

The marshmallow in his hand suddenly became a thing to throw, and it was no good not to throw it. Shiraki felt that Dazai might have expected that the recovery time of his ability would be shortened.Or from another point of view, Dazai didn't believe the authenticity of the information he provided last time about the recovery time of his own abilities.

If it is confirmed that Shiraki found the micro-tracker he put in the marshmallow, Dazai can officially confirm that Shiraki has the ability to manipulate the existence of extremely microscopic substances.

... At the same time, it was confirmed that Bai Mu had a secret, and he did not hesitate to conceal his true information in order to confuse the alliance of the Armed Detective Agency.

He wasn't worried that Shiraki would find out at all, and he might even have predicted that Shiraki would find out about his little trick, so at this moment, Dazai was observing what choice Shiraki would make after discovering this fact.

No matter what kind of plan Shiraki has in private, if he still wants to use the power of the detective agency, he must prove his position, take the initiative to post a tracker, or find someone from the detective agency to accompany him, expressing his tendency to cooperate.

His iris-colored eyes were hidden in the dark, silently observing Bai Mu's next choice.

Bai Mu sighed.

... Sure enough, Osamu Dazai never truly let him go.

This man never gave up investigating his deepest secret.
