Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

After Dazai left his house, Shiraki unexpectedly fell asleep and even had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to the night market in Yokohama, which was a clear and bright memory in his memory.

The five cubs were frolicking behind him, and Odasaku stood beside him.Everyone is so close to him, as if this is what life should be like.

The children chattered and quarreled, and the owner of the curry shop who took care of them looked at these children from a distance with a kind smile on his face.

The atmosphere is so comfortable, even the sea breeze becomes warm.

He propped his hands on the fence near the sea, and Odasaku's warm body was only a fist away from him, and the distance between each other flowed with trust and dependence.

Perhaps Bai Mu knew subconsciously that this was just a dream.Before walking out of today's movie, he didn't know why he was able to reunite with his family.

So he was beside Oda Saku, looking at the sea in the night together, unwilling to look away for a long time.

The background is so noisy, and they don't have any words between each other.

The owner of the curry shop walked away slowly with the five younger brothers and sisters whom he disliked.

Odasaku also moved.But as soon as he turned around, Bai Mu grabbed his arm and held him firmly in his arms.

He asked softly, "Will I succeed?"

When the sea breeze cooled down, Odasaku in the dream rubbed his hair.

His dream was interrupted at this moment.

When the first glimmer of light appeared in the sky, the doorbell rang.

When Shiraki went to open the door, he saw Dazai outside the door.

He wasn't surprised who the visitor was, based on this time, Dazai already knew everything.

It's just that Shiraki suddenly realized that he seemed to have never seen Dazai Osamu like this.

Dazai came running all the way, and was still panting slightly after stopping.Perhaps the fog after the rain was too damp and cold. Not only was the hem of his long windbreaker wet, but even the ends of his hair and eyelashes were covered with dew. His curly dark brown hair covered his eyes, showing a Lingering arc.

And on his smooth forehead, there was that small band-aid, Shiraki thought, he put it on for Dazai with his own hands.

So Shiraki touched the band-aid lightly, and seeing Dazai's hair messed up, he thought of the last movement of Oda Tsukuru in his dream, and stretched out his hand to "rub" it almost as if carrying some kind of inheritance. Take Dazai's hair.

The slightly curly hair is soft and smooth, and it feels unexpectedly good.But Dazai's eyes are not gentle, the color of iris is such a gentle color, but at this moment, the darkness of night is clearly brewing.

Tomorrow is already dimly lit.

Shiraki thought, he is about to do something that will make Dazai very happy, but why is there no light in these beautiful eyes?

Dazai grabbed Shiraki's troublesome hand, gently pulled him to remove it from his hair, "Shiraki, stop."

Shiraki's attitude didn't seem to have changed, "...it's time to tell you one thing, the secret that Sigma told me last, I wrote it into a letter and put it in the drawer of the bedside table in your room. If I succeed , In the first period of time, it will be a little difficult for you, but soon my follow-up arrangements will take effect in turn, during this time, please come and accompany him more."

"Blurring the boundary between life and death is not a place where people can judge. Life and death should not be the measure of human happiness or misfortune. The dead return to perfection, while the living stand on the boat and pray. We should be the two ends. Dazai seemed to be enduring something, interrupted him, "I don't want you..."

"Don't miss me what?"

Bai Mu retorted and said, "Do you really know how much I have paid for this matter? How could I have given up at the moment when I finally got to this point? And you...you alone have no way to stop me. "

At this moment, Osamu Dazai thought, he should have figured it out a long time ago.

Why did Shiraki suddenly change his career to study medicine four years ago?Why has he been so nervous about this house?The longest departure will not exceed two days, there will be no social activities, and you will stay here almost every step of the way.

The ghost blood on his little finger, if he really wanted to remove it, probably wouldn't stay there now.It still exists to this day, just because he regards this ghost blood as a treasure.

The empty coffin lifted out of the soil finally confirmed all the horrible conjectures.

At this point, all the clues are connected.

But after Shiraki's words came out, Dazai still reacted.

...But even Shiraki could hardly describe Dazai's expression at this moment.

The color of the kite in his eyes undulates like water waves, it is the kite purple produced at the moment when Ximu collides with the "tide" of the sea, reflected on the waves and flowing with his breath.

That's sad.

He had already passed Bai Mu's attitude, and knew Bai Mu's own prediction of the outcome of this matter - that was not an optimistic prediction.

Dazai's voice was stuck in his throat, "I just want to say, I don't want you to leave...Xiao Shiraki, can you come back well?"

Shiraki's sharp indifference was finally punctured like a balloon.The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he looked away.

In fact, in the past few years, in some nights when no one was there, he would suddenly feel suffocated, even if he was crying alone in the abyss, no one would know.

Only those who are in the abyss can hear it.And Dazai looked at his eyes, Shiraki understood, this person really understands.

So Shiraki no longer deliberately put on that stabbing indifference, he looked up at Dazai who was close at hand, his voice calmed down, "We are all people who ignore morality and rules, I always thought that after the truth was exposed... you will be the happiest."

And Dazai's expression at this time was obviously far from happy.

Bai Mu tried to comfort him, "We've been telling each other since the very beginning—there is nothing eternal in this world, as long as we never get it, it won't be so painful when we lose it."

"But those who are left behind are the saddest..." Dazai swallowed the last part of the sentence, "but I want to see you safe and sound. No one... can really get used to losing. You... don't Do this to me."

Bai Mu interrupted unbearably: "Don't say that."

He stood on tiptoe, put his hands around the back of Dazai's head, and gently pressed him down, Dazai lowered his head in obedience to his wishes, and put his forehead on Shiraki's hair.

This intimate gesture is full of warmth and conveys some kind of unspeakable inheritance and power.

"That's good. Dazai, don't say discouraged words anymore, bless me."

Dazai just moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.

"I'm going to have him back...it won't be long, there will be results soon."

The hot breath of each other hit each other's cheeks.

Dazai thought, he and Shiraki had only known each other for less than a month.

But because there is a shared shadow in each other's souls, they are as familiar as friends who have known each other for a long time.

Dazai carefully counted the 7 seconds, and after leaving for a while, he lowered his head again to maintain the posture just now, and touched Shiraki's body temperature at such a close distance.

In Shiraki's hair, there was a very warm smell of green plums. Summer has come, and perhaps soon in this small courtyard of Baimu, plums will grow, and the fragrance of his body will be wafting in the wind.

Dazai's voice was low and hoarse, "Back then I couldn't stop him from going to revenge, but today... I can't stop you either."

After hearing this sentence, Bai Mu suddenly began to regret his sharp words. He sighed, but there was a gentle force between the lines: "This is our own choice, not your fault, don't feel guilty about it."

Dazai was silent for a long time before he said, "I just... suddenly want to hug you."

But their contact was destined not to last long.Every 6 seconds, Dazai had to cut their contact.

Bai Mu's voice was very obedient, "Yeah."

Dazai shook his head, and took a step back restrainedly, "Can I owe you first?"

The first rays of sunlight hit the sky, and Shiraki looked up at Dazai in front of him.

Today is a sunny day, the sunny day Shiraki has been looking forward to.The stormy cloud still lingered over the nearby sea, but Heaven let in a glimmer of light in the intervals between its raging.

The sunlight streaked across Dazai Osamu's face, making his iris eyes glow with gold, "Xiao Shiraki, we have an appointment——after you finish this matter, we will complete our agreement."

Shiraki looked into those iris-colored eyes, and even smiled with a quiet taste, "...Thank you, your support means a lot to me."

He thought that even if he failed, no one would ever forget what he had carried in the silent place.

... Although the memory will eventually fade away, it is too cruel to the person left behind.

Such loneliness, Bai Mu felt the same.He thought that this time, in order not to let Dazai experience parting again, he would do his best.

Dazai stood at the place closest to him but would not touch his body, as if he knew that one glance was one less glance, he was reluctant to take his eyes off Shiraki's body, "Can I always be by your side from the beginning of a while?"

Bai Mu shook his head without hesitation, "No, you have to stay where the sun shines, don't go into this room...it's too dangerous here, leave it to professionals."

A professional appeared on the other side of the road, and Dazai knew who he was.

The pink-haired young man wears a Japanese sword that can slay ghosts on his waist. He has a dashing posture and an aura full of quiet power.

Bai Mu took the initiative to greet him: "Sakura, thank you very much for coming over."

The door of the small building slowly closed.

Osamu Dazai watched as Shiraki's figure disappeared on the other side of the door, he stood there in a little confusion for a while, and after making sure that the door would not open immediately, he slowly sat down on the steps in front of the door.

After entering the house, Shiraki used his abilities to rebuild a path leading to the basement. When walking down, he hugged Satu an electric heater.

Soon Sato understood why Shiraki felt he needed an electric heater.

The basement that Bai Mu took him into was as gloomy and cold as an ice cellar.The room has normal lighting, and Shiraki divides the room with a white curtain.

The curtain covered Odasaku who had lost his breath and heartbeat at the other end. In front of this gentleman's friend, Shiraki concealed the unbearable truth so close.

He stopped at the other end of the curtain closest to Odasaku.

Regarding how to revive a dead person, Shiraki initially made many ideas and failed countless times.

When he first came into contact with the concept of "ghost", he met the ghost killing team, and the regeneration power of ghosts gave him the theoretical basis for the entire resurrection plan.

Regarding Shiraki's left little finger, when he explained to Zhongya for the first time, he was not completely lying. His finger was indeed corrupted by chemical substances in a biochemical experiment.Although Bai Mu could use his supernatural ability to restore his fingers to normal in minutes, but that day, he did not heal himself.

He came up with a bold idea. That night, he entered the secret room of the ghost killer to steal, extracted the cells of the ghost king through supernatural powers and implanted them in his body, and imprisoned them in his left hand, slowly studying the characteristics of ghost cells.

It was also the first time that Shiraki carefully observed the changes at the atomic level in the cells in his own super-magnifying electric microscope.

He also derived the theoretical basis for the resurrection and derived a backup plan.

The first backup plan is to obtain the blue Bianhua that can restore the ghost to an adult.

As long as the blue Higan flower is successfully prepared as a "medicine", then the most trouble-free method can be used for resurrection-Shiraki activates the supernatural substance to rebuild, activates a very small part of Odasaku's cells with his supernatural power, and at the same time puts Inject ghost blood, complete body regeneration with ghost characteristics, and then use blue Bianhua to turn ghosts into humans.

Ayaki Lei, who was obtained by accident, is the second backup plan.

Shiraki's own demonized body parts are too few, he wants to use tiredness, when tiredness is cured by medicine, he can continuously activate his own abilities, using Oda as the cells that have lost their life in the body, through the process that is taking effect The pump acts as a transport converter for synchronous activation.

But as the cyan flower of the other side became empty talk, backup plans [-] and [-] were all in vain.

There is no need to take advantage of the innocent tiredness, and let Bai Mu let go of the burden in his heart.

He still has a way.

After losing all backup plans, he still has his original plan.

That was Bai Mu's conclusion based on his research on the characteristics of his mutated ghost blood - after the mutated ghost blood enters a dead cell, it will automatically capture nearby cells that have just died. The ghost's blood has a mysterious power that can reactivate the cells in an instant.

It takes only a thousandth of a second for each cell to come back to life from death.

After a thousandth of a second, the restarted living cell will be transformed into a ghost cell immediately.

The moment he discovered this phenomenon, Shiraki's persistence in maintaining the state of his body's cells for Oda for many years became completely meaningful.

Because the most critical point of the whole plan has been completely cleared up.

Shiraki put on a light-proof finger cot for his little finger that trapped the ghost blood. It was never to prevent sunburn or reveal his identity, but he had to carefully protect this seed that could turn his crazy ideas into reality.

And today, at the last step, he is about to bring this ethereal theory to reality to observe whether it will be a success or a disastrous failure.

He wants to change his fate against the sky and reincarnate from death, only his ability can do it.

All the scars in Odasaku's body have been restored to their original appearance by Shiraki's abilities, but... no life.

Only a part of the cells are regenerated at a time, and the living cells will not survive for a long time in the dead human body, so Shiraki never had the option to slowly activate the cells in batches, he had to do it all at once.

He used supernatural powers to cut Odasaku's cells, quickly used "game transfer" to cut the space, carried out a very small range of transfers, stuffed Odasaku's cells into his body, and relied on the power of ghost blood to complete 1/1000 After being reincarnated in seconds, these cells are sent back to their original places, and the transfer of the next group of cells is completed in the same second.

人类的身体里大约有40-60万亿个细胞，1/1000秒的操作，白木需要完成40-60万亿次。

Can't go wrong at all.

The consumption rate of superpowers at the very micro level is doubled, and the activation of ultra-high-intensity superpowers is a great test of one's perseverance and physical strength. Once started, Baimu can't stop.

When all the key cells in Oda Saku's body resumed their short-term activity, Shiraki wanted his heart to beat, his brain to resume work, and his nervous system and blood circulation to restart.

... But Bai Mu no longer thinks about whether this theory will go so smoothly.

He didn't even dare to think about it.

He just needs to go forward and do it.

At the same time, he also needs to control the speed of ghosting in his body, so that he can't lose control before completing the resurrection...if he still has the strength to control it.

That's why he invited swordsman Sabito from the Demon Slayer Squad.

Shiraki seriously bowed to Sato, "I've known you for many years, and I can only trust you to do this... I'm sorry, but I still have to involve you in the end."

Sato held the Sun Wheel Knife in his hand, and slowly frowned: "You're like this... I have a bad feeling, Shiraki, what are you trying to do?"

"Next, please just watch me from the side." Bai Mu said the cruelest words flatly, "If I can't control it and turn into a ghost, please cut off my head as soon as possible... I don't want to hurt Anyone, please."

After several days of heavy rain, the sky rarely showed warm sunshine. Sitting in front of Shiraki's house, Dazai thought of the bed he lay on a few hours ago, and the bed he had prepared according to his needs. s room.

...As Shiraki had already guessed, Dazai would come here from time to time in the future.

Dazai silently counted every second in his heart.

Bai Mu said it wouldn't be too long, but why did every second become infinitely long during this silent wait?

Leaning on this small wooden building built by Shiraki himself, Dazai smelled the dampness after the rain in the air, and suddenly understood something.If everything can come true according to Bai Mu's plan, this building will become the place where he can truly feel at ease in his life.

Or it could turn into... a wound that aches and lingers.Burning in the soul, becoming a glaring scar.

All the answers are behind this door.

And the only thing he can do now is to wait.

The storm that raged on the sea did not go away. After an hour and a half of clear sky, dark clouds covered the sky again.

Dense fog is everywhere, and the day is as dark as night, and street lights are turned on during the day to provide pedestrians with visibility.

The faint thunder light from the sky briefly illuminated the dark land.Sitting under the eaves of Shiraki, Dazai watched the first drop of rain fall from the sky to the ground outside, and heard the first thunder.

The lightning that shook the world made everything in the world tremble, and also covered the soft sound of the door being pushed open behind him.

The person who opened the door at Shiraki's house looked at the figure waiting in front of the door, and called out uncertainly, "... Dazai?"

Dazai slowly opened his eyes wide when he heard the voice that only appeared in his memory.

He didn't look back, but just stared blankly at the rain screen, his body was as stiff as a big rock, and he couldn't even control the movement of his hands and feet.

Until the hand of an adult man with gun calluses between his fingers pressed heavily on his shoulders, walking back to the present time like the past years, truly appearing in his vision.

Dazai, who was sitting on the steps, finally turned around slowly, and saw that familiar face.

...is this reality, or a figment of fiction?

Dazai didn't know how he made the sound, "...Odasaku?"

"What happened, Dazai?" The man nodded slightly, his hoarse voice was only very clear amidst the noise of the rain, "...Where is Shiraki?"
