Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

It's not that Dazai didn't ask himself why he couldn't trust Shiraki.

No matter what secret Shiraki hides, since he is a child who will be chosen by Oda, then he has unconditional trust in his position.

...If it wasn't for that unexplainable motive that stuck in his heart like a thorn, bringing pain that couldn't be easily ignored, perhaps Dazai wouldn't have pursued him every step of the way.

On the morning when he decided to promulgate the "test" and put the tracker in the marshmallow, Osamu Dazai actually followed Shiraki far away. After watching him enter the campus, he went to Oda Saku's cemetery.

The tombstone that was kicked to pieces has been found to order a new replacement, and it was sent to the cemetery for reinstallation.Dazai went over to take a look, and saw Ango Sakaguchi in the cemetery.

Ango knew he was coming, and looked at the tombstone, "Dazai, have you found the person who destroyed this tombstone?"

Two weeks have passed, and Ango has not launched an investigation, but still found nothing, and it has been unable to determine the identity of this person for a long time.

He couldn't forgive the bastard who deliberately destroyed the tombstone of his dead friend.

The sea breeze blows to the shore, even standing in the cemetery, you can feel the coolness of the sea.

To his surprise, it was Dazai who said calmly, "This... I have already found it."

Ango froze for a moment, turned sideways to look at Osamu Dazai, silently expressing his bewilderment.

The smile on Dazai Osamu's face was a mask that Ango couldn't see through, and his tone was relaxed, as if it was nothing serious, "Ah, leave this matter to me."

From the cemetery, it only takes about 10 minutes to reach the branch medical laboratory where Bai Mu is.

It takes countless lies to make up for a lie to be exported, until finally, a self-contradictory flaw is exposed.

This is a contradictory proposition about Nasu Shiraki that he can't figure out.

If Shiraki really grew up beside Oda Saku, why was he so destructive?

The longing is sad and soft, but the destruction is full of sharp noises, and the broken tombstone is still vivid, so Dazai knows that it is not an escape, but a violent catharsis full of anger.

Love and hate should not exist in one person at the same time.

If Bai Muzhen had such a deep emotional bond with Oda, how could he be willing to destroy Oda's tombstone?The cemetery he passed by every day on his way to school, but Bai Mu never looked aside, day after day, year after year, he remained indifferent.

This is not a denial escape, but an extremely cold indifference.

If he was on the cruise ship that day, he would not have seen the crime scene by such a coincidence, Dazai thought, the him today would definitely not push Shiraki to this point.

Bai Mu is a bit like him, they are deep-minded, either they don't do anything, or if they do it, it will be an earth-shattering event.Shiraki has been lurking silently in Yokohama under his nose for so many years. This kind of people who are good at disguising can only see their true standpoint of good and evil in the real big and small.

It was Odasaku who asked him to save people.

But Shiraki's destructive power cannot be underestimated.What would Odasaku think if Shiraki himself became a threat.

Dazai realized belatedly that he should be more patient and slowly wait for the opportunity to test, but he also knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangers would be created by Shiraki's uncertainty.

So he took out a photocopy of the half of the photo in his wallet, and improvised the game he had set up on the spot, messing everything up simply and powerfully.

The moment he saw that photo, Shiraki lost control for a short while.

But after he understood Dazai Osamu's meaning, his confusion and panic gradually calmed down.

Shiraki thought, when he understood the bag of marshmallows, he had already changed his position.

...he's used to hiding.

Maybe it's time to change a strategy. There are quite a few people staring at him now, and it's time for him to take the initiative.He no longer hides his own strength, strikes hard to deter malicious peepers from all sides, and creates a crucial period of calm before the storm for himself when various forces are weighing and watching.

His blue Bana flower has already sent a reply.

The signal was bad during the last call, but Shiraki was already preparing for the last moment.

The plan he had worked on for many years, the ideal he had fought for at the expense of his life, had come to him step by step.

Bai Mu's pupils were brewing with a deep blackness, and the gesture of raising his face was a rare publicity in the past.

The outgoing aura is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, he no longer cares what other people think, and his tone to Dazai is mocking, "If the facts are as you guessed, so what?"

Dazai didn't expect him to admit it so directly.

If Shiraki is admitting his relationship with Oda Saku, but the unfinished words in his eyes at this time are clearly telling more stories.

Osamu Dazai is mostly careless, using various lazy ways to cover up his truth.He seldom takes it seriously, and every moment worthy of his seriousness has an unusual meaning.

Now he is looking at this boy named Nasu Shiraki seriously, as if he is looking at an incomprehensible artwork.

"If, on the other hand, all this is not what you imagined, so what?" Shiraki even smiled slightly, "I thought you would be smarter, Dazai, why did we have to come to this point?"

Dazai, who had never been told that he was not smart enough in his life, stared at him in disbelief, and stood up slightly.

"Dazai, you must have had a time when the people around you couldn't keep up with your thinking field because you stood too high. You made the decision for them, and until the final answer was revealed, you took the risk alone, rarely Few people can really understand how you feel."

Shiraki opened the door, Dazai did not block his way.

He didn't go to see Dazai, but Shiraki knew that the people next to him must be listening.

"Have you heard of the uncertainty principle - you can't know the position of a particle and its velocity at the same time, this is the theory kicked out by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg. If you can know exactly what is now All the elements and details of the time point can accurately predict the future, but this itself is an impossible principled paradox. Dazai, even a smart person like you cannot know everything that is happening now. And Every seemingly unrelated person, every slight change of thought will bring about a series of butterfly effects."

"All non-controlling factors will produce a common chemical reaction. In waiting, there is actually a limit to the psychological endurance against uncertainty." Bai Mu tilted his head slightly, with a naive look on his face, which was not pure and beautiful childishness , but an almost cruel confession, "Isn't it good now? This time, I stood on that high ground and carried the choice that no one knew."

"Unless you kill me, you can't interfere with my decision. Don't go up to see the scenery with me so stupidly, it's not easy there. Dazai, this time, it's time for you to play stupid."

"...It's hard for me to get used to such things." Dazai sighed, "But if you do, I will carefully consider the feasibility of your suggestion, but there is a prerequisite, I hope you can know."

"If your concealment includes the fact that you may hurt others or yourself, how can you... tell me to pretend to be ignorant?"

Shiraki didn't speak for a while, he walked out of the dirty and narrow lounge, Dazai's footsteps were so soft that they almost made no sound, but he followed behind Shiraki unhurriedly.

The basement was empty and silent. This was the enemy's base, but the two of them talked as if no one was there.

Shiraki's voice was like a whisper blown by the night wind, "I think you must have experienced loneliness, the kind of boundless loneliness, stuck in the dark night for too long, and you don't even want to see the long light of the sky. People like you People, there are too few people who can understand you, so you have been lonely."

"You never really come out of that engulfing void. I talked to Atsushi and he said you never go to the Armed Detective Agency party, he doesn't know why... Dazai, I respect your solitude, don't bother me."

Dazai slowly revealed a smile, "...I am sure I read correctly, Xiao Shiraki, we are the same kind."

With just a glance from the corner of the eye, Bai Mu knew that it was a fake smile on his face.

So he stopped, and in front of Dazai, he stretched out his fingers and swayed his lips.

Dazai slowed down by half a beat.

His fingers slid onto Dazai's lips, his lips were cold and thin, but the touch was soft and warm.

Dazai didn't move, looking at Shiraki's eyes with a charming smile, but they both knew that it was just a layer of flesh that couldn't see through the soul.

"Lies." Bai Mu's slightly cold fingertips were about to leave, "but today I am honest with you, please believe me, we will soon...will not be alone."

Dazai suddenly confessed: "Based on my understanding of your abilities, the little trick of putting a tracker in the marshmallow was never for the purpose of tracking, it was just a "test question", I need to observe your reaction. "

Bai Mu looked at him sideways, "What happened?"

"...It turns out that whatever you're doing now is very dangerous. It's so dangerous that if you push you gently, you may lose control."

Dazai followed Shiraki's footsteps and walked side by side with him, "I didn't expect that what you are dealing with now has reached such a serious level...sorry."

This apology is sincere, Shiraki's tight string, if he puts more force on it, something will happen.

"No need to apologize...I have sent all the marshmallows to Alice. Believe in Mr. Yisen's means, an anti-tracking investigation has been launched."

Dazai paused slightly.

When Shiraki laughed, Dazai could feel the coolness of the sea breeze at night, like the night before falling into a cliff, spreading silently around them.

Dazai looked at him, and suddenly thought about whether his own smile looked the same to others.

They all wore camouflage and lived in a way that made everyone feel at ease, as if blending into the crowd around them.But only they themselves understand that it is not their true self.

...If you reveal your true heart, you will frighten the people around you.

But Dazai suddenly understood that even if he exposed his true self, he probably wouldn't scare Shiraki away.Because there is an equally dark soil in Bai Mu's heart, breeding demonic thoughts, which is an inner contradiction that he can't reconcile even if he pretends to be an excellent model student who has entered the world.

Perhaps Shiraki was right. In every lively gathering of an armed detective agency, the incompatibility deep in his soul would sharply present a contrast.

Dun faintly noticed it.

But Bai Mu was the first to tear off his peaceful disguise.

Bai Mu said softly: "Please cherish this hard-won protection... I think this should be a very novel experience for you. You don't need to restrain your curiosity for too long, because all my secrets will be revealed soon. It was announced in broad daylight. So before that, please don't come near me, and don't try to stop me. He... has such expectations of you, and I will inherit his wishes, and I can assure you, I will not Harm any innocent person for no reason."

Dazai looked at him silently.

Bai Mu has recovered his impeccable rationality and calmness: "Don't worry, this issue will be discussed later, because this place... is really not a suitable place for conversation."
