[Wen Ye] Ghosts and Notes

"Hello, Miss Yueshu." The voice with a chuckle melted into the quiet air, causing small waves.

Hearing this address, she subconsciously turned her head, and the black-haired woman suddenly realized her mistake, and her body stiffened.

"Yueshu...but your name isn't Ma'am..."

"Huh?" With a confused nasal sound, Tsushima tilted his head "Well... I guess she probably told you her original name, if Mr. Tsukiki knew that you were so anxious to get rid of him relationship, it will probably be very sad~" Although he used a regretful tone, the boy's expression was always indifferent and disdainful.

"No...you are..." Hearing this familiar voice, the deep-seated fear was awakened, and the woman's body suddenly trembled, "This voice... this voice, you It's the cadre of the port mafia!" His pupils shrank suddenly, like a frightened flying insect, Lin Zi flinched and hid behind the bewildered Atsushi Nakajima.

"Help me, it's him, he's going to kill me."

Staring at the ridiculous and funny scene in front of him, the gray-haired boy lowered his eyes wearily, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Obviously you are the perpetrators, why do you say that I seem to..." He muttered to himself in a low volume, although the voice was very small, but a few words were captured by Osamu Dazai who was the closest.

You, perpetrators...?

The brain cycled rapidly, almost instantly, Dazai almost guessed the hidden truth.

So... so, the detective agency was being used.Oops, but the current situation is a bit difficult.

"No, Tsushima-kun, do you really want to..." Before he could break free from the surprise of "Tsushima is a cadre of Hong Kong gangsters", he saw the dark metal light refracted from the boy's cuffs—that It was a pitch black pistol.

"Are you really going to kill someone?" Atsushi Nakajima shouted sadly with a little disbelief and disappointment in his eyes.

"Kill?" Blinking his eyes, he seemed to be overwhelmed by the words of the other party, "...I've killed a lot of people." His hand gradually clenched into a fist, and the skin of his knuckles turned white from the forceful squeeze, "...it's you who made me kill someone."

—I really... never wanted to hurt anyone.

It is the despicable, pedantic, and greedy human beings who persecute me for survival, profit, and unscrupulous purposes.I, just to "survive", and to resist.

The so-called world, isn't it you?

"What..." Frightened by the other party's sudden change of mood, looking at the gloomy man with deep anger in his eyes, the white-haired young man took a few steps back in embarrassment.

Is this really that gentle... Tsushima-kun?

"Let's go out and have a chat, Mrs. Lin Zi." With a mocking smile, "After all, the conflict here is what you want to see~"

"You want to get rid of me with the help of the detective agency, so as to avoid future troubles, this is your purpose." Sighed, "I dared to give you a day to think about it, but I didn't expect you to make such a stupid decision. "

"Do you think the armed detective society will kill me for you, and then break with the port mafia?" With his forehead floating, Tsushima stuck out his tongue as if disgusted by the woman's small thoughts.

The face with light makeup turned pale, cold sweat condensed and slid down her neck, the black-haired woman clenched her skirt "No...please, let me go, the rules of the mafia are not fighting and not involving civilians Is it... Zelu and I will immediately move out of your sight and never appear, is that okay?"

"Okay, then you guys move to hell~" Like a devil's smile, Tsushima spat out poisonous words in a soft voice without mercy.

"Hey, Tsushima, you should be accommodating anyway." Kunikida Doppo frowned, breaking the tense atmosphere. "Mafia fights must not involve civilians."

"Ha..." As if hearing some of the funniest jokes in the world, the boy was stunned, and after a few seconds he let out an unstoppable laugh, "Hahahaha...haha." The hand with the gun just touched his belly like that, not caring about the risk of going off. "Yeah, mafia fights don't involve civilians."

"But did you do it, Madam Lin~" Without pausing, he continued, "The only "civilian" I want to kill is you. "

There was no chance for the woman to explain, "You know~ your husband, the cadre of the Eagle Feeder Association, Yueshu Shingon—what did he do?" The black eyes suddenly widened and slightly moistened, "But you didn't care about anything. ,Right?"

"No... I just... I can't control it!!" That day, I just heard the man complain that there was a cunning child who made his troops suffer losses, so I said casually " How about killing his relatives to get revenge", I didn't expect that man to really do this... and I don't know the rules of the mafia!If I had known it would lead to such an ending, I would have stopped that bastard by killing myself! !

Finally breaking down, pulling his hair, Lin Zi calmly declared, "I'm only with that man for his money, I have nothing to do with him at all!!"

"And that man just killed an unimportant friend of yours, why did you chase after me so hard!!" It's not a parent, so is it necessary to chase yourself to such a death!

"...Okay then, I'll just kill one of you, isn't it a fair deal?" After a long silence, under the surprised and complicated eyes of the detective agency, Jin Shima raised the wooden barn, "Is it you, or your son?"

Almost without any hesitation, the black-haired child holding his legs behind his mother was pushed out by a force and fell heavily to the ground.

He didn't cry, the child just didn't understand why his mother did this, and turned his head to look at the relieved woman in confusion.

"...This is the person you want to protect." Pointing at the child, Mu Cang slowly lowered it, and Tsushima blankly glanced at the dignified detectives around him, spitting out mocking words in his throat " So much so that I can't even see who is the "villain" now, Kunikida-san. "Emphasis on biting the word "villain".

"For what happened to you... I feel very sad." Pushing his black-rimmed glasses, the man with yellow hair sighed long and hard, "But... I still have to stop you."

"Because it is the responsibility of our detective agency to protect civilians. Although it is true that Mrs. Hayashiko is also guilty, but...they are not..." Organized the language, Kunikida wanted to use a gentle Sentences discourage each other.

"...What is this?"

Why, bad guys can always live freely.

Why, kind people always encounter all kinds of misfortunes.

——The wicked suck the flesh and blood of the soft people cruelly, and enjoy themselves "proudly".

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Did I go wrong, or did the world go wrong?

Panting heavily, the hot and chaotic emotions overflowing from the chest poured into the brain along the blood vessels, burning his thoughts fiercely, making Tsushima's temples a little swollen and painful.

"Then uncle... deserves to die?"

However, a cold voice in his heart slowly answered the question.

"Yes, in this world, kind people cannot survive."

"You understand."

——It was the voice of my own reason.

It hurts to breathe.

Pressing his chest in pain, the gray-haired boy had difficulty breathing due to the excessive anger and sadness, bent his body down, panted heavily, whimpers and small roars overflowed from his parched throat little by little.

Tears mixed with something warm, one drop after another fell to the ground, flowing viscously.

His vision, blurred by tears, saw blurred red patches in the distance.

Wiping his nose with his sleeve, he realized later—it turned out to be a nosebleed.

He didn't care about the blood stains, he rubbed his face and mouth indiscriminately, the pale pink stains were stained on his fair cheeks, mustering up his last strength, he cast his eyes for help not far away and kept his hands in his pockets, watching quietly The brunette of this farce.

Noticing the other person's gaze moving over, Osamu Dazai tilted his head slightly, and looked at each other calmly as if he had caught the last floating weed, with eyes full of pleading and anxiety.

"Are you going to... stop me too?" Tsushima said with difficulty, hesitating.

"I understand your feelings." Blinking the iris eyes, "but I'm a member of the detective agency now, so I have to stop you, that's all."

"..."

did not speak.

Only the hand wooden warehouse fell to the ground, making a dull "boom" sound with the ground.

——It was like the wailing sound of a young boy's fragile heart breaking.

"...I understand." Bending down, he picked up the wooden warehouse on the ground, and Tsushima put it back in his waist pocket.

——It seems that the emotions and vitality that belong to human beings have long been gone from this young man, leaving only a dead mechanical body, which can be regarded as alive in a physiological sense, just like a breathing puppet.

The delicate eyes that were originally round and delicate like obsidian now appear dry and hollow, lifeless, unable to penetrate any broken light.Only the flowing mud slowly flows, churns, and rots in the pupils, quietly watching this filthy world.

"Excuse me." Pushing open the door of the detective agency, the black body disappeared into the detective agency without looking back.

"Wait..." Witnessing the whole process of the boy's mentality change, Kunikida Doppo subconsciously stretched out his arm worriedly trying to keep him, but was stopped by a bandaged hand.

"It would be counterproductive for you to go up and talk to him now, Kunikida-kun."

"That child has completely fallen into darkness, and it's too late."

The magnetic and frivolous voice rippled.Looking at the direction in which the gray-haired boy left, Osamu Dazai fell into deep thought, and then sighed slowly.

Is this... destiny?

The author has something to say: The only civilian Tsushima wanted to kill was this woman, and the other members of the Eagle Feeding Society, Tsushima didn't touch the other's family, otherwise things would have gotten worse.

Although this woman is indeed abominable, from the standpoint of the detective agency, Tsushima really cannot kill this woman. Even if this woman is guilty, she is not guilty of death. The two crimes of abetting murder and murder are both lighter and heavier. of.

Pinned his last hope on Dazai, longing for the "he" who is not him to give him the last support, but he still failed.

After all, Osamu Dazai is now a member of the detective agency, and he is on the "bright" side.

However, Tsushima finally gave up revenge.

Probably because he didn't want to fight with everyone in the detective agency.

Otherwise, relying on Tsushima's characteristic of not "death", he could have assassinated the woman when she thought she was really dead and let down her vigilance.

Tsushima noticed it.

— all this is meaningless.

——"The boy who smiled softly is dead."

If Dazai entered the light because of Odasaku's death, then Tsushima entered the darkness because of the uncle's death.

The two took completely opposite paths.
