Canary of the gods

"Is it Mr. Ichijoji?"

After hearing the movement from the door, Mr. Fujikawa opened his eyes with his eyes closed.

Ji Yijiu didn't answer, but just walked to the cabinet next to Mr. Fujikawa's bed.

There was a painting on the cabinet, which, as he and Osamu Dazai said, he had painted the night he first moved to Yokohama.

It was a Ferris wheel under the stars.

The black night sky is dotted with a few sparse stars, and under the starry sky is the silhouette of half a Ferris wheel.

On the canvas, the stars are few and small but very bright.On the contrary, although the Ferris wheel is big, it seems to be separated by a layer of veil.

Mr. Fujikawa saw that he was looking at the painting in a daze, and followed his gaze.

"Is that the CosmoClock21 Ferris wheel?"

"Not in my mind." But he said after a pause, "If you think it is, then it is."

Mr. Fujikawa smiled, but accidentally pulled the wound, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

A priest turned around and looked down at him, "Since they have told you that this painting will bring you misfortune, why don't you throw it away?"

"How can love bring misfortune?" Mr. Fujikawa said disapprovingly, "Those are guys who don't know how to draw, Mr. Ichijiji, don't listen to their nonsense!"

"..."

No, you are wrong.

His love brings nothing but misfortune.

A temple cultivator remained silent, lowered his eyes, and looked at him gravely, with an indescribably obscure aura surrounding him.

Stared at by those indifferent, light golden eyes, Mr. Fujikawa's heart skipped a beat, feeling a heavy weight on his chest inexplicably, a heavy sense of oppression.

He thought anxiously: I shouldn't have said anything wrong just now, right?

Fortunately, a temple cultivator looked away after a while.

He continued to look at the painting and asked Mr. Fujikawa, "What did you see?"

Mr. Fujikawa breathed a sigh of relief, and then answered his question: "When I saw this painting, I suddenly thought of my daughter who had been pestering me before. When she was young, she always asked me to take her on a ride. CosmoClock21 Big Ferris Wheel."

"Xiu, let's take the London Eye after we get back!"

He sighed with emotion, with a little bitterness in his nostalgia, "But at the beginning I was busy with work, so I didn't have time to play with her. I promised time and time again, but missed appointments again and again. Even if she was unhappy, she was still considerate of me. Yes. She went to college two years ago, and she found a boy who had time to ride the Ferris wheel with him, and brought him back to me, saying, 'he is different from my father'. Although she felt a little sour, But I'm still happy for her."

As Mr. Fujikawa spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Last year... last year when she went skiing with her friends, she encountered an avalanche, and... never came back..."

The man died the next day back in London.The cause was a car accident, on their way to the London Eye.

Mr. Fujikawa sniffed, raised the corners of his mouth somewhat reluctantly, and said: "When I saw this painting in the gallery last month, it was quite strange to say that I saw me taking my daughter on the Ferris wheel for a moment. wheel scene."

"Obviously this time is not when the Ferris wheel is open, obviously I have never taken her there, obviously...she has left me..."

As he spoke, he sobbed.

A priest glanced at the heart rate monitoring device that sent out the alarm, ignored it, and clicked on the painting on the cabinet from a distance.

With a whoosh, the painting disappeared into the ward.It's just that Mr. Fujikawa was crying so sadly at this moment that he couldn't pay attention to others, so a temple repairer successfully transferred the painting to his home.

He returned Mr. Fujikawa's money for buying the painting, and by the way, slightly revised his memory during this period.

After all this was done, the door of the ward opened suddenly, and the nurses came in one after another, and began to calm Mr. Fujikawa, who was agitated, and check the situation.

The neglected temple cultivator retreated silently, turned around and walked out the door.

He saw Osamu Dazai leaning against the door frame.

"Finished?"

A temple repair nodded.

Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko only belatedly noticed a temple that had already walked in front of them after Osamu Dazai opened his mouth.

Yosano Akiko still had lingering fears about the hallucination just now, but now she looked at a temple with somewhat wary eyes.

If Osamu Dazai hadn't insisted that Ichiji had no bad intentions and asked her to wait a little longer, she would have rushed into the ward with a machete in her hand.

Kunikida Duppo looked at a priest, frowned slightly, and held his chin to recall: "Did I meet you somewhere?"

A temple cultivator: "No, you've got the wrong person."

Osamu Dazai: "I saw it in the bus spontaneous combustion incident last time."

The two sides stared at each other——

The voices of the two people overlapped, and Kunikida Doppo couldn't hear what they were talking about for a while.

"So what is it..."

A temple repair: "Passerby."

Osamu Dazai: "I haven't seen it."

The two stared at each other again——

Pooh.

Why are they so inconsistent.

The two turned their faces away in unison.

Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko glanced at each other.

After a while, Mr. Fujikawa's condition stabilized, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a temple repair was also ready to go back.

"Wait, your painting..." Kunikida Doppo called to stop him, but when he looked at the ward, he found that the painting that was supposed to be on the cabinet was gone!

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at a monk and the satchel he was carrying.

...Such a large painting, shouldn't it be able to fit in it?

So... what about painting?

A temple repair replied: "I sent it home."

Kunikida Doppo subconsciously asked: "Different abilities?"

A temple repair nodded.

Kunikida Doppo still had some things he couldn't figure out, but it was obvious that Jiyi Yiji didn't intend to delay here any longer.He took out his cell phone, glanced at the time, and said, "I should go."

"Wait……!"

Kunikida Doppo didn't have time to ask for more details, and a priest disappeared in place with a "shua".

Yosano Akiko blinked, reached out and pinched Osamu Dazai's cheek, causing the latter to scream in pain.

After being exposed to disqualification in the world, she confirmed that she was not hallucinating.She looked at Osamu Dazai suspiciously, "So what exactly is his supernatural power?"

Osamu Dazai covered his face and hid behind Kunikida Doppo, only stuck his head out, "I almost guessed it, but..."

Yosano Akiko asked: "But what?"

Kunikida Doppo also looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Osamu Dazai didn't answer, he raised his index finger to his lips, and acted mysteriously.

"One of the most critical conditions is still missing..."

On the evening of the same day, at three o'clock in the morning, Yokohama Minato Mirai area.

Neon lights make the night more colorful than the day. Apart from the occasional cars or motorcycles speeding by on the road, you can occasionally see a few drunks with shoulders and backs on the side of the street. Their steps are swaying, as if the next You can fall to the ground in seconds.

At night, the wind was strong and the temperature was low, so a temple monk wore a slightly thick sweater and a big hood, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the CosmoClock21 Ferris wheel located here.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers with a "snap".

All the neon lights around were dimmed, but the ferris wheel was running silently in the darkness.

He opened the door of the sightseeing cabin nearby, but found an unexpected guy.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Yiji looked at Osamu Dazai who was yawning, his head was full of confusion.

Osamu Dazai waved at him, "Come in and close the door, it's freezing to death."

"..."

One temple repairer turned his head and left. Osamu Dazai had expected it, reached out and grabbed him, and pulled him back.

Disqualification in the world took effect, and almost at the same time, the Ferris wheel stopped as if a button was pressed to pause, and the surrounding neon lights also lit up.

A temple cultivator: "..." I knew that meeting this guy was not a good thing.

Osamu Dazai took advantage of this opportunity to pull people in, closed the door, and said excitedly, "I haven't ridden the Ferris wheel in the early morning yet."

"...So why are you here?"

Osamu Dazai took out a bug from his jacket pocket, "I overheard you talking about the Ferris wheel with Mr. Fujikawa, and I thought it wasn't long before Xiu-kun moved to Yokohama, maybe he hasn't been here yet, maybe Are you going to try it out tonight?"

A temple cultivator: "...Please answer my question directly, and don't avoid the important ones."

Osamu Dazai smiled helplessly, and said, "Because I suddenly wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, but there were too many people queuing up during business hours, so I had to come at this time. Is this enough reason?"

A temple cultivator: "..." I believe you a ghost.

The neon lights dimmed again, and the Ferris wheel continued to rotate.

It was pitch black in the sightseeing cabin, and Osamu Dazai sat by the window, looking at the dim street lights on the other side of the river, each one was like a small candle, exuding a fluffy, fluffy, hazy halo like a dandelion.

As they climbed up bit by bit in the sightseeing cabin, the clusters of halos became farther and farther away from them and became smaller and smaller, like fireflies lined up neatly on the grass stalks.

Jumping off the Ferris wheel seems to be a good choice...

Dazai thought casually.

During the entire ascent, no one in the sightseeing cabin spoke.

After crossing the highest point, Osamu Dazai suddenly spoke and broke the silence in the room.

"How is Mr. Xiu thinking? About my proposal this morning... Well, wait, the early morning should be counted as the next day, so it was yesterday?"

"?what?"

Osamu Dazai: "That's what I said, we have a more interesting job here..."

Before he could finish speaking, a monk resolutely refused: "No."

Osamu Dazai blinked, "Eh? Why?"

"No why."

A temple repair propped his face, looking out the window boredly.

The hot air he exhaled covered the cold glass with a layer of white mist, which disappeared as he wished in the next second.

Osamu Dazai let out a "huh", "Are you worried that your supernatural power will hurt the people around you?"

"Tch." A temple repair seemed to have heard some funny joke, "Say it as if you know my supernatural ability very well."

Osamu Dazai said: "I wasn't sure until I arrived at the hospital, but I almost know it now, after listening to your conversation with Mr. Fujikawa."

"..." A temple cultivator was silent for a while, and said without emotion: "You are a detective agency that specializes in accepting commissions from others, right?"

"That's right."

"Then you dare to invite me to join?"

Dazai Osamu seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in this sentence, and said in a normal tone: "If Xiu-kun is worried that his kindness will cause trouble to others, then use another method."

"?"

One Sixiu looked at him puzzled—even though he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly in this dark space.

"You should also know my supernatural ability, so..."

"Xiu-jun, come and help me."

"And I will bring your kindness to those you want to help."

After Osamu Dazai finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the sightseeing cabin.

"I'm embarrassed if you don't say something."

He spoke in that coquettish tone again.

"..."

A temple repair finally responded to this.

He opened the hatch and kicked Osamu Dazai down.

Osamu Dazai: "???"

Fortunately, he was only a few tens of centimeters away from the ground at this time. Although Osamu Dazai was caught off guard and fell on his back, there was no major problem.

He clutched his chin and just got up when he saw a temple repairman leaving here without looking back.

"Hey, Mr. Xiu, wait for me, I didn't drive here."

"I'm not driving either, you know, I can 'swoosh' back to my bed in the bedroom."

"..."

"...What are you doing, let me go!"

"It's so rare to take a walk in the early morning to see the night view, how could Mr. Xiu sneak away!"

"Bastard, you want to die, don't you?!"

"Oh oh oh! Please be sure to kill with one blow, let me die quickly!"

"........."
