Complete Survival Manual

All eyes were on Tsushima, but Tsushima had no intention of continuing.

"I'm so sleepy." He skillfully used the child's coquetry method, and his whole body looked fluffy and soft than cotton candy, "Last night I was wandering in nightmares all night, and I'm still chilling all over I’m afraid. I’ll tell you more details when I wake up.”

"Your fever has not subsided." Kishiya Shilla stated the facts, and Tsushima smiled back.

[He doesn't want to laugh that much. ]

Vague thoughts flashed by, and Shizuo Heiwajima's irritability began to rise, and the false feeling he experienced at home in the morning returned.He couldn't help but compare the disgusting smile that belonged to Orihara Rinya imprinted deep in his mind with the child in front of him. There was obviously no similarity, but he felt roughly the same emotion.

Heiwajima Shizuo wasn't sure if he would do something casually if he stayed any longer, so he touched the cigarette case and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Kishitani Shilla: "Shizuo?"

Shizuo Heiwajima just took out a cigarette to signal and went out.

【Silla. 】Selty stopped Shilla Kishitani who still wanted to ask something, she shook her head and squatted down in front of Tsushima.

【Although I don't know why, you probably have a reason why you didn't say it. 】

【It’s okay to talk when you want to. Take a good rest, Tsushima-kun. 】

Tsushima bent his eyes and asked softly, "Is there any problem?"

Celty affirmed: [No problem. 】

Before standing up, Celti hesitated, but reached out and touched the top of Tsushima's head.She looked a little worried, 【People who can take away Xiuda's power are dangerous, Tsushima-kun, if you are going to do something dangerous, don't go by yourself. 】

【I can be with you. 】

……

Tsushima got the right to use a guest room.

The items in the room were completely buried in the darkness, and after Celti closed the door, the only light was also blocked from the door.Now is certainly not a night where people can sleep peacefully, but in the apartment of Shilla Kishitani and Celty, there happens to be a room with double blackout curtains.

"As expected of a mythical creature, Miss Celty." Lying on the soft bed, Tsushima said lightly, "Who would have thought that the mythical creature known as the Headless Horseman has the brilliance of humanity."

That is a precious quality that can shine even in the dark.

For example, just now, after seeing that he didn't want to answer, Kishitani Shilla chose to ask, Heiwajima Shizuo chose to leave, and Celty chose to provide him with a place to breathe, and attached a thoughtful promise to help.It can be said that in the occasion just now, no one is more like an ordinary and soft-hearted human being than Celty.Even biologically speaking, Celty is not human at all.

He smiled, closed his eyes, counted the beating of his own heart, and waited quietly.

After a while, the shadows in the room surged.The headless horse that had solidified into a concrete form carefully pushed out a bit of black mist and pushed open the door, and then the wisp of mist probed its head to observe the situation outside the door.Tsushima jumped off the bed lightly, "Xiuda, you can be bolder."

The headless horse hissed softly.

"Don't worry, Celty isn't here." Kishitani Shilla was typing on the computer, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he looked up at the wall clock and said loudly, "Certi and Shizuo won't be back until 10 minutes. Is this enough time for you to leave?"

"Enough." Tsushima said, "Doctor, borrow the phone."

"On the coffee table."

Kishitani Shilla's mobile phone did not have a password. Tsushima opened it and found the person he was looking for and sent an email, and then spent a few minutes cleaning up the relevant traces. After doing this, Tsushima put the mobile phone back to its original place.

"Selty will be angry when he comes back."

"I'm more concerned about her safety than being angry." Kishitani Shilla said, "The part you don't want to say hides the most troubles, and I won't watch Celty go with you. I can take it quietly Walking away from Xiuda, and taking away part of its power... If it can have a negative impact on Xiuda, it can also affect Celti." He showed a completely different look from that in front of Celti, and his voice radiated With a cold texture, "I will not allow such a thing to happen."

Tsushima clapped his hands together for him without distraction, and applauded, "It's a touching friendship," he said, "I'll borrow Xiuda first, and if it goes well, it will soon carry the lost power. Come back by yourself. Good-bye, doctor."

"Goodbye, Tsushima-kun."

Tsushima smiled, "It would be better if you don't say that I'm a troublesome kid, doctor."

Kishitani Shilla also laughed, "Of course not."

[Isn't this worthy of the name? ]

Of course these things are not worth paying attention to, Tsushima climbed over the guardrail of the balcony, "Let's go, Xiuda."

The headless horse turned into black mist, neighing and falling at the same time as Tsushima.

……

The tall black man spoke broken Japanese and distributed leaflets at the entrance of Rukia's sushi restaurant. Under his kind invitation, there were not a few customers who entered the store to experience Russian sushi.When Tsushima arrived here, the store was crowded with people.

"It's you." Simon enthusiastically handed a flyer to Tsushima, "Do you want to try it today? Delicious and cheap sushi~"

"Okay." Tsushima said, "Do you have any special recommendations?"

"Yes!" Simonbi drew a crab that was walking sideways, "The freshest sea crab, the crab that just arrived today. The fresher crab than the sushi restaurant on the corner is at Rukia Sushi Restaurant."

"Oh~" Tsushima's eyes lit up.

There are tall stools in front of the table in the sushi restaurant. When sitting on them, Tsushima's calves kicked back and forth indiscriminately.His appearance is undoubtedly excellent, so that he did not arouse the anger of others, but a few non-malicious laughter.

It is nothing more than the meaning of "so cute" and so on. People are always willing to treat the cubs with the greatest kindness.

"I want a crab meat sushi~"

"OK, wait."

Tsushima calmed down, watching the store manager skillfully pinch various kinds of sushi.

Rukia Sushi is a thoughtful shop, and most of the food from the boss has strange fillings.But this whimsy does not affect the taste of the sushi, which is probably one of the reasons why Rukia Sushi is so popular among Ikebukuro residents.

Of course, more importantly, this is a "safe zone".

The water in the sushi restaurant is quite deep, and it is a bit inconvenient to reveal the bottom from the boss to the staff.No matter how unsettled the streets of Ikebukuro are, you will calm down a lot when you come to this store.Tsushima noticed when he came here yesterday. Compared with the slightly tense atmosphere on the street, the atmosphere in the sushi restaurant can be called quiet and peaceful.

Ueno Daichi, who was wearing a yellow jacket, sat down next to Tsushima.

"Boss, it's the same as yesterday."

"Cheese sushi, don't you want wasabi?"

"Yes, trouble."

Ueno Daichi looked at Tsushima, "Consignment?"

"After dinner." Tsushima said, "Let's put the boring and serious topics later, Mr. Ueno."

Ueno Daichi turned his head back in a good manner. He is always reliable in his working state. This reliability relies on a set of precise and perfect creeds.These tenets govern his attitude towards customers, the first of which is to respect every customer who entrusts him.

In Daichi Ueno's dictionary, respect also includes the condition of making customers happy, so he followed Tsushima's words and said: "Compared to work, of course it is more important to fill the stomach first."

Tsushima's legs shook again, "Is that right? Compared with boring work and predictable delicious food, of course food is more worth looking forward to." He watched the sushi wrapped in crab meat gradually take shape, and said Placed on a slender porcelain plate, a cheer came out of his mouth, "I'm starting."

He picked up the sushi and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks were bulging.The sense of happiness emanating from Tsushima made Ueno Daichi involuntarily look at the food on his plate a few more times.

Although the cheese sushi is delicious, but compared with the people around it, it looks slightly inferior to the crab sushi next to it.

[That must be a very delicious taste,] Ueno Dazhi thought seriously, [Try it next time. ]

……

Sushi that should be delicious is even blander than white water in Tsushima's senses.His sense of taste seemed to be broken, and the taste of rice with vinegar was no different from chewing white wax.

Ever since he had the thought of "it's time to eat", Tsushima's stomach kept protesting.However, Tsushima just pretended not to notice this annoying protest, and swallowed the mechanically chewed rice in big gulps.

With a happy expression, exuding the taste of happiness, it seems that I have really experienced happiness.

[If you can't even get a little warmth from the food, it would be too sad. ] Tsushima had a vague guess, [On my side, Dazai would never become like this no matter what.Even if I'm not around, he still has colleagues from the detective agency, and Nakaya-kun. ]

[The person who maintains this empathy is...]

……

Empty plates were placed on the dining table.

Tsushima finished eating what was on the plate, and was finally willing to communicate with the intelligence dealer next to him about the commission.

"Although you may not be able to do my first entrustment, I'd better ask by luck." Tsushima didn't go around at all, he asked straightforwardly, "How much do you know about the boss of the port mafia?" ?”

Ueno Daichi first bluntly said "not much", and after seeing that Tsushima's expression did not change, he added: "This leader has maintained a mysterious style since he took office, and I have very little information about him here. But even such vague information is worth a thousand dollars." Ueno Dazhi never lied to customers, he said sincerely, "If you still want to buy after thinking about it, then I will tell you everything I know."

Tsushima smiled, "Honesty is a virtue, Mr. Ueno." He tapped Ueno Dazhi's sushi plate with his pointed chopsticks, and said briskly, "Please don't take the little question just now to heart. What I want to ask is other things."

"You are still operating a hidden route that can reach Yokohama quietly, how many are left?"

Dazhi Ueno: "...Do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Let me listen to the lies first." Tsushima said, "Mr. Ueno, sometimes interesting lies can be used as a spice in life. I hope your lies are interesting enough."

"There is no lie." Ueno Dazhi said, "In order to safely evacuate Yokohama, I had to leave all my business and go to Ikebukuro. The high-profile behavior now is to re-establish the network of contacts in Ikebukuro. I will settle down in Ikebukuro in the future.”

Tsushima laughed out loud after listening, "Mr. Ueno, you really can't tell lies."

"Because most customers tend to choose to listen to the truth, they hate the lies of intelligence dealers." Ueno Dazhi said helplessly, "Please don't make fun of me."

"If you choose the truth, you will say that you have nothing to comment. If you want to know more, you may have to pay." Tsushima didn't give Dazhi Ueno time to react, and his words were light and fast, with a challenge "Mr. Ueno, I want to entrust you to transport a piece of goods. It's best to put him downstairs in the headquarters of the port mafia so that no one is alarmed."

Ueno Daichi noticed that the address used to describe the goods in this sentence was "he". To prevent mishearing, he asked cautiously, "What is the goods?"

"Of course it's me."

Ueno Dazhi: "...You?" He shook his head, "You can take the tram to Yokohama by yourself, ordinary people in Yokohama will not be affected by the chaos of the underground world at all, and the fights and conflicts there will not involve ordinary people. "

"Although there are very few people who know it, those who know my face can cause the greatest trouble." Tsushima said with a smile, "Mr. Ueno, my information is super confidential."

It is not uncommon for him to say such words at his age, because there are always many fantasies in the heads of children that can make people smile from the bottom of their hearts, and even older ones also have the word "Second Second Disease".But Ueno Daiichi judged what was the truth, and because of this, his expression froze a bit.

[What he said is true. ]

To be honest, he didn't want to meet any confidential figures.

Because "secret" and "trouble" have always appeared together.

He flinched.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Tsushima said leisurely, "Why don't you listen to my advance payment first?"

"I value my life more."

"I thought you would want to know about your partner." Tsushima threw out the bait, "I tried my best to leave the back road to Yokohama, just to return to Yokohama after the situation has completely stabilized... you are Have you found any traces of Mr. Hiraoka in Yokohama?"

Ueno Daichi, who was about to leave, dispelled his thoughts.His expression was more rigid than before, and even if he looked carefully, his face was still a little gray.

If the Ueno Daichi just now was animate and stiff, then he has undoubtedly turned into a stone statue that lacks vitality now.Tsushima couldn't help being curious about this, he stretched out his hand, poked Ueno Daichi's facial skin, and found that it was still a living person's face.

Soft and warm.

Years of independent investigation drained Ueno Dazhi's blood and enthusiasm. Not long ago, it was a great excitement to track down the trace of his partner who was thought to be dead. Who would have thought that after he evacuated Yokohama unwillingly, he would be able to stay elsewhere. I was caught off guard when I heard someone express clearly——

"Come back to your senses, Mr. Ueno." Tsushima shook his finger in front of Daichi Ueno, and brought the wandering soul back to reality, "You heard me right, I do know something about Ichiro Hiraoka. To be more specific In exchange for the news, in this way, are you willing to accept my commission?"

Ueno Daichi gritted his teeth, his heart beating wildly.The thumping sound affected his hearing. He couldn't hear how dry his own voice was, but he could imagine every syllable rushing out of his throat and squeezed out of his teeth.

"I have no reason to believe you, Tsushima-kun." He said, "It's not a secret that I'm chasing something, it's just that no one dared to make a deal with me because they couldn't be sure of the authenticity of the information in their hands. It is obviously not a good choice to deceive an intelligence dealer who makes a living by intelligence."

"You send me there, and I will give you all the information on Ichiro Hiraoka within three days. I know, the news in my hands can guarantee the authenticity. Ueno-kun, this is the answer you have been looking for. When you buried your partner with your own hands, what were you thinking? When you rejected the offer of Chief Maruyama, what did you think? What are you thinking again? After chasing a goal for so many years, when there is a glimmer of light, do you choose to give up?"

"Tell me, are you going to give up, Ueno-kun?"

Ueno Taichi was shaken.

Tsushima sat back in his seat, thinking of his juniors.

Ueno Dazhi in the firm, like other clerks working in the firm, has good potential and admirable vigor. Occasionally, he will reach out to tease the lively juniors, and enjoy watching them jump.And the one in front of him is just paranoid about to send himself to be with his partner in hell.

[Could it be that this world is characterized by a relatively difficult life for everyone? ] Tsushima rubbed his chin, watching Daichi Ueno struggling with himself.

The end result was as he expected.

"I will send you to Yokohama, and please remember your promise." Daichi Ueno bent down, cautious and full of unconscious expectations, "Please."

Logically speaking, the scene where an adult bows to a child is ridiculous.But neither Daichi Ueno nor Daniel, who watched the whole process, had any intention of laughing.

Daniel looked at Tsushima inquiringly, as if evaluating something.

Tsushima had a smile that fit his age, "As long as you can do what I entrusted to you, then I will naturally pay you an equivalent fee."

"Mr. Ueno, please do your best to fulfill my commission."

Next, Tsushima saw what Ueno Daichi can do when he runs his intelligence network at full capacity.

Tsushima, like a ghost without substance, was sent to Yokohama by Ueno Dazhi as quickly as possible, and placed well under the building of the port mafia headquarters.

Tsushima took note of this work efficiency happily, and decided to use this as a standard for his juniors when he went back.

Someone was waiting for Tsushima at the gate.

An unknown black suit walked quickly, and a group of well-trained people dispersed, using their own bodies to block all possible angles of sniping from a distance.The leader in a black suit saluted Tsushima and said respectfully, "Master Tsushima, the leader is waiting for you."

……

The elevator is a viewing elevator that leads directly to the top floor.The shadow of the steel beam crossed the glass surface, and Tsushima narrowed his eyes.He has dealt with the high-level Hong Kong and black people in the original world several times, but he has never been to the building of the Hong Kong and black headquarters.Looking out from the elevator today, it is still a novelty to face the port city of Yokohama from a high-altitude overlooking perspective.

After getting out of the elevator, there was still a long corridor to go through. Tsushima knew that this seemingly ordinary corridor should actually be full of traps.If someone trespasses, it will never be a peaceful hallway to greet them.

["The leader of the port mafia must be entrenched in the deepest part of the headquarters," someone said with a smile, "there must be an impregnable fortress, and it must also be the center of Hong Kong gangster operations. In other words-"]

["As long as there is an explosion here, I can use the fastest speed to obtain eternal peace."]

Something struggled to emerge, and Tsushima's breathing fluttered.

An increasingly strong connection emerges on the other side, and vague guesses become a foregone conclusion.As he stood in front of the door, the drumbeat of negativity reached its peak.

The stiff black suits opened the door for him, and the golden light briefly replaced the cold artificial light in the corridor.When the door opened, all the emotions conveyed to Tsushima by the other party turned into nothingness.

The person who was fiddling with a camera in the sunlight raised his head. At a certain moment, the black windbreaker on that person's body seemed to be covered with a halo, making it blurry and dazzling.He looked at Tsushima at the door, the corners of his brows, eyes and lips curved beautifully, and he said——

"You're here, Tsushima."

Tsushima walked into this office, and the door closed silently behind him.

"Come and take a photo for me," Dazai Osamu said. "I wanted to ask my subordinates to take it, but after asking around, no one would use this camera. Then I thought I should take it myself, but I found out that even myself Wouldn't even use it. When the photos were developed, they were either blank or pitch black."

Tsushima took the camera from Osamu Dazai, stepped on his chair and sat down on the desk, "Who are you taking pictures of?"

"So you can, that's really great." Osamu Dazai laughed, and then raised his voice, "Silver, come out. Let's try again, and we will definitely be able to shoot well this time."

Gin Akutagawa appeared from the small door on the side, and stood upright.

Tsushima studied the old-fashioned camera in his hand, and held it up, "It's taking pictures of Xiao Yin, Yin-chan can smile."

Akutagawa Gin shook his head, "That's fine."

Tsushima listened to the girl's opinion and took a picture of her being too straight.

During the replay, Osamu Dazai squeezed over to look at the photo.

"A good photo was taken," he commented.

Tsushima complained, "No matter how you look at it, it's just a full-body ID photo."

After returning to the desk, Osamu Dazai randomly pulled out a piece of paper and began to write.

It was probably a letter, Tsushima just glanced at it and turned his head to look out the window without interest.

The familiar Yokohama looked like a different city from a different angle. Tsushima quietly waited for Osamu Dazai to finish writing the letter without an addressee, feeling surprisingly peaceful in his mind.

After finishing writing the letter, Osamu Dazai carefully packed it into a black envelope, Gin Akutagawa took the letter, saluted them and left through the side door again.

The glass turned black without being re-energized, and Tsushima turned around.He was still sitting on the desk, but he was facing the window instead of facing the door.

Osamu Dazai flicked his clothes and sat down on the table.

They watched the scenery outside the window in the daylight.

Tsushima: "Dazai, what do you usually see when you sit here?"

Osamu Dazai thought about his daily life carefully, and replied: "It will never be like today. Someone wants to kill me every moment. This glass wall has not been disconnected from the power supply for a long time."

The glass wall with no power cut off is a pure black wall, the huge office is illuminated by lights, and he is looking at the never-ending files.

Since becoming the leader, he has rarely stepped out of the Hong Kong and Hei headquarters building.Wave after wave of assassins confined him to the safety of his office.

Tsushima can think of what kind of life Dazai lived, and he also knows that Dazai has a big mysterious plan.He didn't ask Osamu Dazai what he wanted to do, because he knew it the moment he saw Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai wanted to die.

But that is not the previous suicide, because there is still salvation for suicide.

Dazai Osamu, who was sitting on the desk with him, had completely accepted the established fact that he would die immediately from the bottom of his heart.

He's still sitting here, but it's like he's already in hell.

The author has something to say: send a courier, find Ueno.

Fast and safe, worry-free.

Your best choice.

………………

met.

In fact, I originally wanted to get stuck in opening the door, but after thinking about it, forget it, why bother.

Ah... six thousand words, I don't have a single drop.
