Yokohama First Reconstruction Division

It has been a week since the storm passed.

Everyone in the Armed Detective Agency knows that Osamu Dazai has not spent the night in his dormitory recently. For his behavior of entering the house and starting to live together, single people have expressed strong condemnation.

Although the facts are far from speculation, Dazai, as usual, did not explain.

Moreover, he took advantage of the situation to mislead, and asked his colleagues in the detective agency to continue to help.Dazai's reason was simple and rude - the task of protecting Shiraki received by the Armed Detective Agency was not 100% completed.

It just so happens that the Armed Detective Agency has nothing to do recently, under the persuasion of Dazai, and Shiraki is a rich woman (crossed out)... She is a rich little guy, and the reward for accepting the commission will definitely satisfy people.

What's more, even if it's not for the reward, the people in the detective agency are willing to help Bai Mu. The peaceful life is too long, and there are always opportunities to move around, just to pass the time.

But no one knew that Bai Mu had disappeared in his home since that day.

Dazai is covering up Shiraki's disappearance, but the caring person is not aware of it.

The peepers in the dark sensed the opportunity, and there were active people eager to try again. After discovering that there was no spatial deviation in Bai Mu's residence, a new wave of people who wanted to find out took action.

During this period of time, Dazai lived in Shiraki's house according to his wishes. Although Dazai didn't like fighting very much, there was barely one more person in this small building who could fight twice.

Whether it's people who come for Shiraki or Sigma who was taken away by him, as long as they dare to enter Shiraki's house, they will be beaten by two former port mafia members.

But even so, Dazai began to think that they needed extra force when Shiraki was not around and Odasaku's body still needed to rest.

The whereabouts of Sigma, who has been concerned by many parties, continues to be unknown, but Dazai has received a letter from Shiraki. After obtaining the information about the "book" that Sigma revealed to him, Shiraki told Dazai all the known plans for the five declines of heaven and man.

After careful study, Dazai probably had a guess about Shiraki's own plan.

In the name of "this is Shiraki's entrustment", he led the colleagues of the detective agency to take several actions. After the work was completed, everyone discovered that Dazai seemed to be secretly hiding it from them again, and tricked everyone into doing something. ... quite a big deal.

The place where the Armed Detective Agency sneaks into night raids...it turns out to be the secret stronghold of the Supernatural Secret Service Division.After the operation was completed, all the colleagues who realized that they had been taken onto the pirate ship beat up Dazai again.

At this time, Dazai's salary had just been paid this month, and his angry colleagues directly withheld his salary, and they went to a not-so-cheap restaurant in Yokohama and ate up all of Dazai's salary.

While eating, someone from the Supernatural Secret Service Division came to find him.Everyone looked at the brazen Dazai fooling Ango in silence, leaving nothing behind.

Although Ango was skeptical, there was no evidence, so he couldn't accuse anything.The first scene of the incident was destroyed by Dazai, and even Ango used his powers, but did not extract any key information.

Everyone wiped out Dazai's salary with food and wine, and happily turned the matter over.

After finishing his meal, Osamu Dazai went to the street lamp by the sea and opened a book.

The moon was very full that night, and such a full moon night only occurs once a month.

Dazai pressed the "book" he snatched from the Supernatural Secret Service Division on the fence, he didn't seem to be very worried that it would accidentally fall into the sea, he took out a pen from his pocket, and without touching the book with his fingers, Under the circumstances, a line of words was added on the paper.

After writing this sentence, Dazai just waited quietly for a while, and set a fire without hesitation, letting the tongue of fire roll on the pages of the book, and the burning pages looked like gray butterflies entwined by fire , with the little dark red fire that was about to be extinguished, flew to the deep sea.

Ranpo came over at some point, he had no organization, just stood aside and watched Dazai burn the "book", and asked him a word: "Would you not regret it?"

"I'm just working on his plan to eliminate the remaining worries." Dazai spoke with a gentle manner. Recently, some very subtle changes have taken place in him, and it's hard to say why.Dazai has too many secrets, even Ranpo can't see through him.

Dazai watched the last pieces of paper turned into ashes and blown into the sea by the wind, "Apart from our world, where we can't see, will there be many similar parallel timelines... Chaos, have you thought about it?" Something like that?"

Compared with this empty parallel world theory, the dessert shop selling ice cream is obviously more attractive to Ranpo's attention.

Ranbu didn't have much interest in this topic, he pressed his arms behind his head, and replied casually: "The 'book' has already been burned by you. But even I can't think of it, by writing a 'technological theory' that conforms to reality in the book ’, a time-space wormhole was actually created by the five evils of heaven and man... This is actually in line with the logic of reality, maybe in the not-too-distant future, we can really see technological devices that subvert time.”

This shocking conversation happened so easily and casually between the two men holding the script, and was blown away by the sea breeze.An astonishing conspiracy was strangled in its infancy by accident, turned into dust like a burnt "book", and no one else would know about it.

Luanbudao: "The messy formulas in the 'book' that break time and space, maybe your child who is a top student can understand? I feel a pain in my head... But I have to say that through the construction of space-time wormholes, the ghosts that lead the Taisho era The idea of ​​using humans to destroy the world...is very innovative and much more fun than ordinary world-destroying scripts."

"Dazai, you just wrote the final correction on the 'book', the space-time wormhole was born in the 'book', and then ended in the 'book'. We are still living in the present. Treat Fu... treat your children ah."

Luanbu turned around and walked towards the ice cream he was thinking about, while muttering: "What's the point of destroying the world? I really don't understand. There are so many good things in this world, why do you want to destroy them? For example, the An ice cream shop that sells ice cream scoops with lemon soda! This is one of the most beautiful inventions in the world."

Dazai smiled and said nothing, there are so many time and space, everyone's existence has subtle differences.He didn't know how many traces of white wood existed, and every possibility gave birth to infinite branches.

But Dazai is sincerely grateful that he can live in this timeline.Every tiny bit of delicate timing can't be wrong, which leads everyone to this ending.

This existed in Shiraki, and also had the ending of Oda.

There are some issues that cannot be delved into. The resurrection from the dead is a shocking secret no matter where it is. For the time being, it is a good way to avoid trouble by not revealing your identity too high-profile.

But Dazai has already seen from Shiraki's letter that Shiraki's plan obviously goes beyond that.He didn't want Oda Tsukuru to hide for the rest of his life, he wanted Oda Tsukuru to walk in the sun dignifiedly.

There can never be too many good people like Oda Saku in this world.

It's just that after burning the books... a small accident happened. The city management in the distance saw the flames. Dazai was taken to Juzi for education by the city management and fined for burning things randomly.

The colleagues used Dazai's salary to happily buy ice cream, and then watched Dazai be taken away indifferently.Dazai didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because he was never used to parties.

He also knows what everyone wants to ask - why haven't you seen Bai Mu recently?

This is a question Dazai doesn't want to answer.

On that foggy day when the sun turned to rain, he failed to find Bai Mu in Bai Mu's own home, nor could he find the pink youth with the knife.

Shiraki's plan has two parts, whether he is there or not, he can achieve the result it wants to achieve.

But Osamu Dazai only wanted the part Shiraki participated in to be realized.

How cruel it would be if the person who promoted all of this could not even see the final outcome.

It was late at night after leaving the police station, and Dazai returned to Shiraki's residence.He has been resting here since this time.

This is also a situation that Shiraki expected. After Odasaku is resurrected, his body still needs to adjust various functions for a period of time.

Except for Dazai, no one really understands the tall man who appeared in Shiraki's house. He is a taboo who came back from the dead, and therefore needs a lot of sleep every day to adjust his body.

Dazai invited Yosano and Yosano to take a look, but he came to the conclusion that there was no obvious injury on Oda Saku's body, and that he needed sleep only because of his body's needs.

The direction of specialization is different. It seems that the adjustment of microcosm can only rely on Shiraki.

But it's also possible... Odasaku fell into a coma for a long time because of emotional needs.

Oda Saku has been hovering on the edge of half-dead these years, it is hard to imagine what he has really experienced.Dazai didn't ask rashly, but stayed by his side quietly as a friend, if he didn't want to speak, then wait for him to come out of this emotion.

But Dazai has confidence in Odasaku.

His friend is a transparent and intelligent person, and the momentary depression is not difficult to understand.For him, it was just a matter of closing his eyes all the time, but for everyone else, it had been more than five years in the middle.

A long time paused for him, and Odasaku needed time too.It's just that the time for Odasaku to cheer up is beyond Dazai's imagination.

After dinner that day, Odasaku left Dazai behind, "Dazai, let's go find Shiraki together tomorrow."

Dazai slowly opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is your body... okay?"

"You can do it in a short period of time." Odasaku disassembled a gun in two or three strokes, and reinstalled it neatly, "I will not hold back anyone."

In fact, Dazai knew that Odasaku's body was not suitable for going out now, and when the enemy invaded at home, Odasaku would only take action when he had to.

But Shiraki's whereabouts are still unknown, and Odasaku is almost unwilling to wait for a minute. After recovering a little, he couldn't lie down anymore.

Sure enough, in the past five years... isn't he completely unaware?

"I see." Dazai smiled slightly, "Shiraki must be very happy to see you cheering up so quickly. But what I said... Odasaku, have you ever thought of a situation that Shiraki doesn't know How should I face you?"

The man didn't answer.

"If Xiao Shiraki is still alive...it's been almost two weeks now, and he doesn't even want to come to see you."

Odasaku remained silent, his eyes gradually darkened.Dazai understood at this moment that his friend had been worrying about this problem, "Odasaku, Shiraki doesn't like to be the one who was left behind, even if you chose to take him to die with him back then, he would gladly agree. It has been his long-cherished wish to bring you back to the human world, and he did it for you, and even more for himself."

"Also...he still can't be sure what your attitude will be if he calls you back to the world without knowing your personal wishes."

Oda Saku put the gun back on his waist holster, "Shiraki has always been a delicate mind, easy to overthink, easy to get into a corner... When I find him, I will explain it to him personally."

At this point, Dazai sighed: "Okay, I have already dealt with what Xiao Shiraki told me. Then... it's time to determine his whereabouts. After waiting until now, he should be willing to see the two of us at least one of the

In the past half month, no one knew Bai Mu's whereabouts.

Ayaki Lei came back once halfway, and his brief return allowed Dazai to confirm the whereabouts of Sigma, who had been missing, and also confirmed Shiraki's next plan.

Tired, he didn't seem to be surprised or puzzled by the fact that Baimu was missing from the house.He was just very sad, and left alone without saying anything, the little figure disappeared into the gloomy night.

And the tired destination will also be where Dazai goes.

When the sun rose the next day, Oda Saku finally walked out of the house. Dazai made two speculations last night. He told Oda Saku that Shiraki might be seriously injured after his powers were exhausted. , and handed over his idea of ​​hiding to Oda.

Before going out, Odasaku properly concealed his features, he is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, and although Dazai is worried, he doesn't need to worry too much about this friend.

Dazai got another route, which is another possibility for him to judge Shiraki's subsequent situation.He got on the tram and appeared at the Sanyashiki chain ramen restaurant in Tokyo. He opened the door with a smile on his face, and pulled out the pink-haired ramen chef who was trying to hide.

Sato sighed, "I've seen you, and I know what you want to do here. Don't ask, I really don't know."

Dazai asked softly, "Did you kill him?"

Sato was silent for a long time, "...Stop talking."

At this point, Dazai finally let out a long sigh, "He really is...but as long as he is alive, thank you for not being willing to kill him."

Sato, who had never dealt with Dazai, was stunned: "...Hey, I didn't say anything!"

"Xiao Shiraki always has more than one plan." Dazai tilted his head slightly and smiled against the sun, "I believe he is already prepared for such a high probability of accidents, we should believe him."

Sato put down the knife, "I really don't know where he is now. I advise you not to act lightly, you have never dealt with 'that kind of thing'... If he can regain his sanity, he will take the initiative to find him. your."

"Understood." Dazai turned and walked out, took out his phone and began to browse the sales information, "Xiao Shiraki is not 'that kind of thing', he is a child of my family, and he has been thinking carefully, and the last part of the journey cannot be let He goes alone."

Sato turned around and saw Ayaki Lei behind him. He didn't know when he came over, and how long he had been listening secretly.

Tired and lowered his head, "I can't do anything."

Sabito was silent for a long time, "...Me too."

"I can't even walk out of this sunshine." Lei clenched his fists and hid in the dark, "Then I can only do my best with what Baimu told me last."

It was the afternoon of the fourth day after Dazai left the ramen shop.

Drive away from the main highway and drive for 10 minutes on a dirt road to reach this coastal land.

In front of the vast expanse of sea, the afternoon sun gently sprinkled golden light on the grass on the coast. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Dazai sighed, "What a good place."

Looking at the only small villa near the sea at the end of the road, Dazai stopped the car and walked over slowly, unlocked it manually, and entered the house by himself.

The house hadn't been renovated, the gray walls hadn't even been painted, and there was no electricity in the room.

Dazai walked inside, the room was well lit, the large glass directly faced the sea view, and warm sunlight fell from almost every corner.

If this villa is well taken care of, it will be a very beautiful and livable treasure, but in the current situation, there is simply no way to live in it.

Dazai circled around and found the passage in the basement.

There was no light and no sound in the basement.Dazai walked down by touching the wall, because no one lived here, the wall was covered with thick dust.

In the smallest closed room in the basement, he found the first piece of furniture he saw in the entire villa—a chair.

And above the chair... the man curled up with his legs in his arms.

His slender figure was blurred in the dim light, almost hard to catch with the naked eye.

But Dazai let out a long sigh of relief, and finally smiled, "Come here, little Shiraki, let me hug you."

The person on the chair turned his head slowly, and after a while, he slowly made a sound, "You... dare to come here by yourself, do you want to die?"

Dazai opened his arms, "Then you have a try and see if I taste good?"
