Yokohama Future Lovers

"My name is Dazai, Dazai Osamu. You can call me Dazai." Dazai Osamu is not a person who cares much about etiquette.What's more, at this time, he and Akutagawa Ryunosuke are just strangers in the true sense, even if the other party is with him in a parallel world.

Although Dazai Osamu said so, Akutagawa Ryunosuke still looked at him extremely stubbornly, and called out: "Mr. Dazai."

The boy who was so thin that he could see the bones inside had a pair of pitch-black eyes, but those eyes seemed to be suppressing hot emotions that could melt even ice.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looks extremely weak from the outside, and his long life in the slums inevitably caused some negative conditions in his body.He often coughs, and when he coughs, his body inevitably tenses up, and his collarbone seems to protrude.

But in such a fragile, sickly body, there is an extremely stubborn and enthusiastic soul.

It's a pity that the Osamu Dazai he faced was far colder and lonely than the floating ice.

"Whatever you want." Osamu Dazai said casually, waving his hands.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke can call it whatever he likes, Dazai Osamu doesn't care much about it anyway.

But Osamu Dazai noticed that Akutagawa Ryunosuke seemed nervous.

This is not surprising.Compared with Mori Ogai, Fukuzawa Yukichi, and Oda Sakunosuke who also obtained the memory of the parallel world, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who is still a child, is definitely not as determined as them.The three of them have experienced many ups and downs. Even the youngest of the three, Sakunosuke Oda, already has his own life goals, calm and mature thinking and independent personality.

But Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who is only twelve or thirteen years old and has been living in a slum all the time, suddenly has a memory from the future, and it is normal to be greatly affected by it.

...It would be better if he didn't continue to look at Osamu Dazai with that look as if he was looking at some kind of "god" or "demon".

Osamu Dazai sighed, and then got some news from Ryunosuke Akutagawa without any trace.

First of all, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and "Osamu Dazai" in that world are not actually lovers - although they are so ambiguous that they look like lovers in the eyes of others, there is still no real relationship between lovers.

Osamu Dazai also guessed this point.He also guessed before that in the future world obtained by Mori Ogai, "Dazai Osamu" and "Mori Ogai" were probably not really lovers.

This is nothing puzzling.For people like them who were born in the dark, it is impossible to engage in the pattern of "I like you, let's be my lover" like ordinary people.

Most of them are in an ambiguous relationship that looks like a lover in the eyes of others.

Osamu Dazai thought about it, and it is very likely that among the people who have obtained future memories, there are existences in parallel worlds who are not really together, but are ambiguous enough to make others daydream.Osamu Dazai speculates that this one may account for the majority instead.

But even such a "future lover" who has no definite relationship at all, and even keeps a distance, must occupy an important position in the heart of "Dazai Osamu" in those worlds.

But here comes the question again, why did this group of people get the memory of being with him in the parallel world?

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes, he already had some guesses in his mind.

On the other side, Ryunosuke Akutagawa frowned, and when he was about to say something, Gin on the side had already come out of the shower.

It is impossible to have any requirements for "clean" in the slums, and it is very good to be able to find reasonably clean clothes.This time, he was able to take a shower directly in the bathroom, and Yin couldn't help but take a longer bath.

She was a pretty little girl herself, and after taking a bath and changing into a neat set of clothes, she looked even more beautiful, like a lovely white lily.The long black hair became smooth and supple after washing off the dirt, and was scattered wet.

Seeing Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Osamu Dazai looking at him together, Gin couldn't help but say shyly, "I'm sorry. Is my appearance too weird?"

"Of course not, you are very beautiful." Obviously Osamu Dazai is actually only a teenager, but he can naturally praise her in a mature tone like now.

His compliment made Silver's face burn, and he pursed his lips into a shy smile.

"Okay, Akutagawa, go take a bath." Osamu Dazai said casually, unexpectedly, the child who had been tense all the time froze immediately, showing a little resistance.

Osamu Dazai blinked, and said casually, "Could it be that you don't like taking a bath?"

"No, it's just——" Ryunosuke Akutagawa stood up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and wanted to explain something in a panic.

He didn't want to show his useless side in front of Osamu Dazai.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke struggled for a while, and said, "My supernatural ability "Rashomon" is activated with the help of clothes, so..."

"So after taking off your clothes, you will feel uneasy because you can't use supernatural powers—is that what you mean?" Osamu Dazai said calmly with his face propped up.

"Hmm!" Ryunosuke Akutagawa subconsciously made a sound after being hit, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only think in frustration that he was not strong enough.

Osamu Dazai looked at him and said, "Huh? Then you don't like staying with me, do you? After all, my supernatural ability "No Longer Human" can nullify all supernatural abilities."

"No!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, then paused and said, "Of course Mr. Dazai is different."

"...Huh." Osamu Dazai looked at him with his face propped up thoughtfully, and then said: "A word of advice, it's better not to be too much affected by those "future memories"."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke froze for a moment, clenched his fist, and said, "I understand. I just..."

Osamu Dazai didn't mean to be angry, of course he knew how strong the obsession would be for a person who had been floating in the sea and suddenly grasped a life-saving straw.

Whether it is Akutagawa Ryunosuke or him, they are just wild dogs struggling in the world and seeking the meaning of survival.

Osamu Dazai's eyes darkened for a moment, he shook his head, and said, "Okay, let's take a shower quickly. Although I don't mind making Mr. Mori and Chuya continue to wait, I'm a little hungry."

Hearing what he said, Akutagawa Ryunosuke had no choice but to take the clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Dazai Osamu patted the place beside him and shouted, "Silver? Come to me, I'll help you brush your hair."

"Do you want Mr. Dazai to dry my hair?" Gin showed some hesitation.

"Silver?" Osamu Dazai held out his hand to her.

"..." Yin struggled for a moment, and sat beside him.

The black-haired boy picked up a soft towel and wiped the silver hair carefully. His movements were very gentle, as if he was not facing a child who had struggled and rolled in the slums, but a flower that was so fragile that it needed to be taken care of. flower.

Osamu Dazai didn't speak, he didn't even make a sound, only the slight sound of the towel rubbing against the hair was left in the whole room.Gin, who was nervously waiting for Osamu Dazai to say something, couldn't help but relax, and she even felt drowsy.

When Dazai Osamu's chuckle came from behind her, she woke up suddenly, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Just trust me that much?" The pale boy sighed, and said in a soft voice, "It's better not to trust me too much?"

Of course Silver knew.

Although he has obtained the future memory of the parallel world like his elder brother Akutagawa Ryunosuke, but unlike his elder brother who has already become a half-chef, Gin can't help but have a good impression and fantasies about Osamu Dazai, but he is still very happy. Calm and sensible.

In other words, Gin, who spontaneously reduces his sense of existence in order to survive, and silently grabs his prey like a shadow, has always been a calm enough person.Sometimes when Akutagawa Ryunosuke's actions are too extreme, in most cases, it is Gin who stops him.

The two brothers and sisters have supported each other and cuddled together since before.

Until the biggest variable - the appearance of Osamu Dazai.

In the past few days, when Ryunosuke Akutagawa kept looking for the trace of Osamu Dazai, although Gin also had the same expectation, he still had many worries in his heart.

Why do two people dream of "future memory"?Could this be the conspiracy of some superhuman?But who would deliberately attack the two children from the slums?

And is "Osamu Dazai" a conspiracy?

Seeing that Ryunosuke Akutagawa's blank eyes finally seemed to be "alive", Gin still didn't say anything in the end.

Until just now—the moment he saw Osamu Dazai, Gin finally understood why the one in that memory liked him so much.

No, the word "like" cannot sum up this feeling lightly. "Love" doesn't work either.Because this feeling is heavier than "love" and also more distant than "love".

Many times, the "Silver" in that memory just stood quietly behind Osamu Dazai and watched him.

And now, Gin in this world realized that the memory was real the moment he saw Osamu Dazai.The feelings of "Silver" from the parallel world seemed to be conveyed at that moment.

In the darkness where the sun never shines, in the rotten and bloody smell that only belonged to the slums, the black-haired boy stood there quietly, looking impossibly clean, completely out of place with this place.But when Dazai Osamu looked over, the dead silence in the other's eyes was enough to make one feel daunting.

Osamu Dazai who appeared here looks like a god and a devil.

Just standing there and looking over made Gin's heart beat faster. Is it "love" or "fear" or both?Silver has been indistinguishable.

The only thing she understood was that from now on, she could never take her eyes off Dazai Osamu.

Yin actually knew very well that Osamu Dazai brought them here, probably because he was curious about their "future memory".If they don't continue to show their due value, it is very likely that they will be "abandoned" by Osamu Dazai.

If you want to continue to stay by Dazai Osamu's side——

Silver lowered his eyes, recalling the dream he had a few days ago.

···

Osamu Dazai is very popular with women.

In other words, not only women, he is also very popular with men.To put it bluntly, he is a guy who fascinates everyone.

When Gin, who was an assassin of the port mafia, was hiding in the dark wearing a black mask and special clothes, watching Osamu Dazai surrounded by a group of men and women, he couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.

Osamu Dazai was wearing a high-end black suit and was sitting on the sofa with a jacket on, and several women in sexy short skirts were sitting beside him. The women's bright red lips were painted with sticky lipstick, and their snow-white thighs were dimly lit. It looked ambiguous under the bright light.But none of this compares to the man surrounded by them.

Osamu Dazai lowered his head slightly, and the bandages hung loosely, revealing a pale neck with blue and purple strangle marks.Under the black hair, the right eye was wrapped with a bandage, and the naked, exposed left eye was staring at the opposite man.

That is the partner of this cooperation, a man with countless money, whose name seems to be Sosuke Yokotani.The eyes of the man who came here with a plan in mind were almost glued to Osamu Dazai.Even the whispered reminders from the guards around him couldn't bring him back to his senses.

As if noticing the overly hot gaze of the other party, Osamu Dazai gave a low laugh, with a cigarette still in his mouth, so the laughter became ambiguous.Osamu Dazai stretched out his slender fingers to hold the cigarette, and exhaled misty smoke from his soft bright red lips.

With a "grunt", the other party swallowed unconsciously, and even his breathing became a little rough.

After they discussed some issues together on official business, Yokoya Sosuke took advantage of the situation and extended an invitation to Osamu Dazai, asking if he would go to another club to have fun with him.

"That's enough." Osamu Dazai, who was half-lying on the sofa in a decadent manner, smiled, his messy black hair was scattered, somewhat covering his eyebrows and eyes, and he made a soft, sigh-like voice: "If Now that I'm gone, what are these beautiful young ladies going to do?"

Sitting on the left side next to Osamu Dazai, the woman in the red dress let out a sweet laugh happily, hugged Osamu Dazai's neck affectionately and rubbed it, and printed her own lipstick on his pale cheeks.

"Ha." Osamu Dazai touched his face in surprise, leaned over and said some sweet words to the woman, causing the other party to let out a series of pleasant laughter, and the beautiful pearls hanging by his ears dazzled .

Gin was distracted in a rare way, and she stared at the pearl in the woman's ear—it was just given to her by Osamu Dazai.

Yin is an assassin, but in her spare time outside of work, she is also a girl who loves beauty.The arduous training left many scars on her body. In order to cover up those scars, Silver likes to wear long skirts, and minimize the exposed skin while being beautiful.

Whenever Yin walked down the street wearing a long white dress and loose black hair, she was no different from an ordinary girl.Even because of her elegant temperament and beautiful appearance, men often come to talk to her.

But she is no ordinary woman.In other words, the world did not give Yin this option.When she was even younger, she was already struggling in hell with her elder brother Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

The winter was very cold, and her hands were blistered from the cold. Even if she didn't move, there would be continuous pain like a knife and saw, not to mention that she had to force herself to move in order to survive.The pain made her often grit her teeth and choke in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Even if he falls asleep, he will worry about whether he will turn into a cold corpse when he wakes up the moment before his consciousness disappears.

I was very hungry, and it was not uncommon in the slums to fight over a morsel of bread.The elder brother loved her very much, and would always give her the last morsel of food left.But even so, Silver often had stomach twitches from hunger.

What's more, Yin also knows.Even if Ryunosuke Akutagawa loved her and gave her the last bite of bread, she would never accept it.This is not only because of the love for his elder brother, but also because from a practical point of view, other children can go hungry, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who is the strongest among the children, must eat more and retain more strength.

Because only Akutagawa Ryunosuke's special ability "Rashomon" can make them more likely to survive.

And growing up in a slum, and because he had an extremely delicate and beautiful appearance since he was a child, in order to prevent himself from being spotted by perverts, Yin had to cover his face and reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.In order to survive, she must be more agile than anyone else.

Until they were picked up by Dazai Osamu, Gin and Akutagawa Ryunosuke have been struggling in the daily life without seeing the future, let alone wearing neat and beautiful clothes like ordinary people, and being carefree with the person they like conversation.

Gin sometimes separates himself as an assassin from himself as an ordinary woman.

Quietly reaping one life after another, an assassin who is hated and feared even in Hong Kong, is often accosted, reads with a book, and is an ordinary woman who walks in the sun beautifully, elegantly and cleanly .

What exactly does she want?Silver would often ask himself this question.

Thinking of this, Gin raised her eyes subconsciously, and put her eyes on Dazai Osamu, and then her eyes widened.

...

...

...

What happened?It seems that Yokotani Sosuke finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch Osamu Dazai, right?

The body was one step faster than the consciousness. When he realized it, Yin found that he had struggled out of the darkness, and emerged from behind Yokoya Sosuke like a phantom. The dagger with a cold luster was attached to the opponent's soft neck. It only takes a little effort to cut off the entire head.

The men in charge of protecting Yokoya Sosuke didn't have time to react.When they reacted, because Henggu Cangjie was in Yin's hand, they could only take out the wooden warehouse and point it at her, bluffing and calling her to put down the knife quickly.

All the women present were of good quality and did not make any annoying shrill screams. They leaned against Osamu Dazai tightly with their soft flesh, and stared at Gin with terrified eyes.

what...

Silver knew he screwed up.This is the first time that Osamu Dazai took her out.After all, Gin's elder brother Akutagawa Ryunosuke is Dazai Osamu's direct subordinate and student.From bringing the Akutagawa brothers and sisters to Hong Kong until now, he has always brought Akutagawa Ryunosuke by his side.This time I will bring Yin out, and Osamu Dazai just said that he will bring her out to gain insights.

Gin doesn't have powerful and terrifying superpowers like Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Most of the tasks she is responsible for are hiding in the target's house, and then quietly cutting off the other's head and dedicating it to the port mafia.

Like this, the other party didn't do anything, Dazai Osamu didn't give any instructions, and he came out carelessly, exposing himself to the light is absolutely taboo.

Gin thought: Maybe it's because she was also bewitched by Osamu Dazai.

The always calm assassin appeared without thinking just because the other party's hand was about to touch Osamu Dazai, which made people wonder if he had been buffed by the Shuzhi buff.

The air seemed to freeze.Although Yin was distracted, her hands were still unsteady, and even though Yokoya Sosuke was already shaking under the knife, she was still as silent as a machine.

Osamu Dazai, who was half lying on the sofa, blinked, sat up, clapped his hands with a smile, and said, "Okay, Silver. Take the knife back."

Yin paused, but finally took the dagger back.Obedience returned to Dazai Osamu's side without making a sound like air.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Yokoya Sosuke, who had recovered his life, coughed weakly all over his body. He glanced at Gin with horrified eyes, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Yokoya." Osamu Dazai said with a smile that could not be heard apologetically, staring at the other party with dark eyes that reflected scarlet, he said, "I don't like being touched by men very much."

Yokotani Sosuke, who originally wanted to continue to question Dazai Osamu, trembled his lips, and suddenly realized that his brain was confused just now, and he almost wanted to touch Dazai Osamu like he usually treats his lover.

The other party is a cadre of the port mafia. If I really do something disrespectful, let alone cooperate, let alone what the assassin in black is doing, my boss will cut off his head and give it to him. Come to make amends.

Yokotani Sosuke laughed a few times dryly, and said with a forced calm: "It's nothing, I was rude. I'm really sorry."

After speaking, in order to hide his unease, he looked at Yin and asked, "Speaking of which, is that person under Dazai-san's subordinate? It's really admirable for its agility."

Osamu Dazai let out a sneer of unknown meaning, and stretched out his hand—Silver knelt at Dazai Osamu's feet with one foot, and raised his head so that the other party could reach out and caress his neck.

"I brought this child back from the slums earlier, and it is a very sharp knife." Osamu Dazai said with a sigh.

Yin lowered his eyes silently and obediently, like a ferocious wild dog that has long been tamed and protected its master.

Osamu Dazai didn't wake her up, and Gin kept kneeling at his feet.After the other party finished talking with Yokotani Sosuke, Gin's legs, whose posture hadn't changed by half, were already numb.

Osamu Dazai had no intention of letting her rest, and directly led his subordinates back to the Port Mafia.Even though his legs were so painful that he wanted to cut them off, and his whole body trembled because of it, Gin still gritted his teeth, dragged his body forcibly, and silently followed behind Osamu Dazai.

With a "click", Osamu Dazai, who returned to his office, lay half-lying on the sofa as if he had no bones. He waved his hand to let the other subordinates back out, leaving Yin alone inside.

The dark-haired man had his legs crossed, his coat hanging loosely over his shoulders.He propped his chin with one hand, and looked down at the assassin girl who was kneeling on the ground again.

"Silver." He said, "You are impulsive tonight." Osamu Dazai's voice was extremely cold, which made people shudder.

This man controls the life and death of many people - including Yin's life and death.

"Yes, I'm very sorry, Mr. Dazai." Gin lowered his head even lower, revealing his most obedient side.

Osamu Dazai looked at her quietly without speaking.

The unimaginable pressure was overwhelming, and it was so heavy that Yin could hardly breathe. She held her breath, looking as calm as ever, but a layer of cold sweat had already formed on her back.

Suddenly, Osamu Dazai laughed out loud, and the original heavy pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Xiaoyin, the title 'a mad dog that doesn't bark' might be more suitable for you than Akutagawa. How many people have you killed with this silent and quiet posture? Perhaps one day you can also be silent It's really exciting to kill me." Osamu Dazai called her by a more intimate name, his tone was soft and sweet, but the meaning in the words surprised Gin.

Yin's breathing was short for a moment, but she quickly realized that she lowered her head even lower.

The meaning in Osamu Dazai's words is not to express vigilance against Yin, but to warn her that she is too impulsive, and maybe she is really looking forward to the day when Yin kills herself-who knows?No one can see through Dazai Osamu. If you try hard to think about what he thinks, you will only let yourself fall into the maze of consciousness.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't blame you." Osamu Dazai's tone suddenly became gentle again, as if everything he did to Gin just now was just a small prank.

"Come on, come to me." He stretched out his hand, signaling Yin to stand up.

Yin stood up, because she knelt on one foot for too long, she couldn't help but staggered when she got up, but soon Yin stabilized herself and took a few steps forward.

"You have to understand that trash is not qualified to stay by my side." The man who looked like a devil and a god smiled softly, and said in a soft voice: "Weak people cannot survive in the mafia."

"Yes, I know." Yin was taken aback for a moment, and then replied in a natural tone.

Osamu Dazai sneered, picked up a handkerchief on the side and casually wiped the lipstick on his face, then threw the handkerchief aside.

Looking at the handkerchief that was used to wipe off the lipstick and was thrown into the corner like garbage, Yin's lips hidden under the mask slowly moved up.

Wearing a long skirt can't protect the brother who depends on each other, and can't stay with Osamu Dazai who gave them a second life.

Only by wearing this mask that covers her face, wearing the airtight special black clothes, and holding a sharp blade, can she protect her brother and stay by that person—Mr. Dazai.

···

"Gin? Your hair has been brushed." Dazai Osamu shouted several times, and Gin, who was caught in the memory, came back to his senses.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Yin said with some embarrassment.

"It's nothing." Osamu Dazai gave her a conciliatory smile. He put away the towel that wiped Gin's hair, looked up at Ryunosuke Akutagawa who had already washed his hair, and said, "Your brother has also washed it." , you guys wait outside together, I still have things to do, help me tell Odasaku to let him wait for me."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke just came out, it seems that he really hates taking a bath, even if he walked in with his eyes closed because of Dazai Osamu's words, he just wiped it indiscriminately to make himself tidy, and then hurried out.

Hearing what Osamu Dazai said at this time, although Akutagawa Ryunosuke was puzzled, he still nodded, stretched out his hand and said to Gin, "Let's go, Gin."

Gin glanced at Dazai Osamu, nodded, took the hand that Akutagawa Ryunosuke offered, and left the room with him, waiting outside the house.

Dazai Osamu turned around after the Akutagawa brothers and sisters left, and asked the Ghost Lamp who had walked over at some time: "Oh, Mr. Ghost Lamp, did you find out what you asked? Why was Oda able to see you?"

The tall ghost rested his fingers on his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.After Osamu Dazai asked him, Ghost Lantern said, "Some possibilities came to mind, but I'm not sure yet."

"What possibility?" Osamu Dazai asked curiously, and he put the towel that he had just wiped Silver's hair on a side cabinet.

"Guess for yourself." Ghost Lantern said mercilessly.

"Ah~~" Osamu Dazai elongated his voice dissatisfied, and said, "I don't want to think."

Ghost Lamp snorted and ignored him. He looked down at the time and said, "Anyway, I'm not completely sure yet. If I'm sure, it's not something I can't tell you."

Osamu Dazai showed a somewhat surprised expression.

Ghost Lantern glanced at him and continued, "Although I'm curious as to why that man can see me, but I'm in a hurry to go on a business trip, so let's come and see it next time."

Osamu Dazai burst out laughing, expressing that he felt very sad for his social animal life.jpg

"It's easy to leave~" Dazai Osamu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm also very interested in him. I will also observe him by the way during your absence."

Ghost Lamp laughed, but said nothing.

Seeing that he still didn't leave, Osamu Dazai couldn't help but glanced at the ghost lamp, with a bright writing on his face: Why don't you leave?

"Before I didn't want to be nosy, so I didn't ask, but since I've decided to get involved in your affairs, I'd better ask." Ghost Lantern was wearing a loose black and red kimono, and his eyes were extremely cold, he said : "It's not just that guy named Bai Lan, a lot of strangers have come to look for you suddenly recently, and they still look like they knew you a long time ago. What's going on?"

Osamu Dazai laughed a few times and said, "How do I know? I want to ask too."

Ghost Lamp frowned, watching Dazai Osamu quietly.The black-haired boy looked back with calm eyes.

In the end, Ghost Lamp looked away, sighed, and complained in his heart: He is obviously just a little ghost.

Osamu Dazai:? ? ?

Ghost Lantern continued: "Let's not mention this for now, let's talk about other things first... You are very concerned about the "Book of Life and Death", why have you tried me many times? It is obvious that your curiosity about hell is not It is very heavy, but the curiosity about the "Book of Life and Death" is extremely strong."

"Oh, I was discovered." Although Osamu Dazai said so, he had a nonchalant smile on his face.The teenage boy stared at the ghost lamp with eyes that did not look like a child, and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you."

Ghost Lamp sneered, and said: "Even I have to admit that you don't look like a teenager, and you are even more sensible and mature than adults. But you are still too young for me, give me Continue to practice."

Osamu Dazai made a "cut", and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's too foul for a ghost who has lived for thousands of years."

"The thing that makes me very upset is that, including the fact that I now find out that your purpose is also part of your plan." Ghost Lantern gave Osamu Dazai an unhappy look.

Osamu Dazai blinked, and said with a soft smile, "I can't help it. As an ordinary person, I really need the help of Lord Ghost Lamp if I want to 'go to hell'."

"Ordinary people?" Gui Deng sneered and said, "There is no ordinary person whose name will not appear in the book of life and death, and there is no ordinary person who will plot against ghosts and gods."

"Probably because for me personally, the biggest "ghost" is myself." Osamu Dazai said with a sigh.

Ghost Lantern shook his head and said, "No matter what you think, I advise you to give up your curiosity about the Book of Life and Death."

"First of all, at least the current you cannot go to hell. Even if you go to hell, the "book of life and death" is something that even I can hardly touch."

"Sure enough." Osamu Dazai looked at the ghost lamp with a smile, and said, "The "Book of Life and Death" you mentioned earlier has become an electronic version. But in addition to the electronic version of the "Book of Life and Death" held by all the ghosts, there is also a paper version. The real "Book of Life and Death" has been hidden, right?"

Ghost Lantern didn't speak, just looked at Osamu Dazai with a half-smile, and said, "As an ordinary person, you know such a secret thing, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai made a thoughtful expression and said, "Go to hell?"

"Ha, isn't that right for your purpose?" Ghost Lamp said with a sullen face, "If you want to make you feel uncomfortable, you have to be tied to heaven, so that you can't die, you have to bathe in the pain of heaven all the time."

Osamu Dazai's face froze, and he said, "Then please forgive me."

Ghost Lantern shook his head and said, "Anyway, this is a friendly reminder, don't try to touch the Book of Life and Death again."

Osamu Dazai raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "What if I say 'no'?"

"Then I will discipline you properly. Good, good." Ghost Lamp said in a very low voice.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Is this guy's desire to tremble again?

"Forget it, anyway, I have warned you that if you do something then, I will never show mercy." Ghost Lamp said expressionlessly.

If someone who knows the ghost lamp is here, he must be shocked by this.After all, judging from Ghost Lantern's attitude towards Osamu Dazai, he is really too tolerant and gentle.

The actual ruler of hell is not a good talker, he himself said that hell is violent supremacy.

The ghost lamp is really too gentle to Osamu Dazai.Of course, a large part of this is because Osamu Dazai is still a child, and Ghost Lamp is more tolerant and patient with children in most cases.

Ghost Lantern thought about why he was so tolerant to Osamu Dazai—maybe it was just because...

Ghost Lantern looked at Osamu Dazai, thinking, maybe it was just because he always felt that Osamu Dazai really wanted to work hard to live a good life.

But the "loophole" in his heart, those dark despairs surrounded him, made Osamu Dazai unable to find the meaning of life and the tomorrow he wanted.

Ghost Lamp shook his head, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw something in the corner.

It seemed to be a drawing board, which was tightly covered by a huge white cloth, and the paintings inside could not be seen.

I don't know if it's because the more covered it is, the easier it is to arouse the curiosity of others. The ghost lamp is a little bit concerned about what is inside.

"What's that?" Ghost Lantern asked.

"Oh, that." Osamu Dazai glanced at the place without paying much attention, and said, "That's a picture I drew."

"Can you still draw?" Ghost Lantern asked.

"Of course. This is one of the few hobbies I have." Osamu Dazai laughed for some reason.

Ghost Lamp paused and asked, "Can I have a look?"

Osamu Dazai blinked and said with a smile, "Of course."

The black-haired boy walked over and pulled away the white cloth used to cover it.

With a "crash", the silk-like soft and smooth white cloth was scattered, revealing the picture that was originally hidden by it——

At this time, even the evil spirits in hell couldn't help sighing: "This is really... Did you draw it?"

"Of course." Looking at the painting in front of him, Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand to touch it, and said in an unbelievably gentle voice, "This is my self-portrait."

A "human figure" can be vaguely seen on the pitch-black screen, but it is not so much a human being as a "monster".Just looking at the distorted picture of claws and teeth is enough to cause depression and fear in people's hearts.Children who see this painting will probably cry because they have nightmares at night.

Ghost Lamp complained with an indescribable expression: "I thought that a certain guy's painting skills were already extreme, but I didn't expect your self-portrait to be another extreme.
