Canary of the gods

A temple monk collapsed on the sofa, thinking a lot for a while.

When he was young, because of the side effects of his supernatural powers, Saiki Kusuo warned him countless times: "You can't help others", "Don't be nice to anyone", "Don't give anything to others".

Because he has paid, not only can't help others, can't reap the gratitude and kindness from others, but will bring endless disasters to the other party.

Ji Yiji kept these words firmly in his heart until he met Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai told him the opposite of Saiki Kusuo: "What you want, you have to give."

The other party also said: "You have to try it. If you don't try it, how do you know you can't do it?"

And, "Even if you really can't do it... don't you still have me? I'll help you open the cage and be a bridge connecting you with the world."

Osamu Dazai did exactly what he said.

As he said, Ji Yiyi stepped out of his comfort zone, stepped out of the cage cast by supernatural powers, and stepped onto the bridge built for him by Osamu Dazai.

The other party thought that after letting him join the detective agency, they led him to this side of the world, but unexpectedly he was still standing on the bridge.Now the bridge is covered with deep and shallow cracks, and the bridge body is crumbling.As long as the bridge collapses, a temple standing on the bridge will fall down and fall into the endless abyss.

It is estimated that Osamu Dazai is also aware of this, so he took advantage of the choice between two worlds and reminded him: "Children always leave their parents when they grow up", "No one's life is lost. I can't go down", "Whether it's Kusuo or me, the water handed to you will only be known after you drink it yourself."

In Dazai Osamu's view, Ichijo Temple is because he is too lonely, so as soon as he grasps the straw, he will become dependent on him.If the person he treats as straw is as patient and responsible as Saiki Kusuo, then naturally it doesn't matter.But if this person is Osamu Dazai who cannot reconcile with himself and the world, it will be a disaster.

Edogawa Ranpo once said to Osamu Dazai: "You will regret it."

To be honest, Osamu Dazai did regret a little bit.Just after he kept teasing people to death, he suddenly realized that a monk might have different feelings for him.

So... He was cowardly, he ran away.

He guessed that Saiki Kusuo would secretly intervene in this matter, so that week, Dazai Osamu just entered the water more than twice as often as usual.

He also caught a cold because of it.

It's just not like after a cold and fever, the high fever has been high until now, and Dazai didn't take any medicine or injection. After taking a hot bath, he slept with his quilt in his hands and had a big accident. Khan, basically recovered from the illness the next day.The vitality is so tenacious that Saiki Kusuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw it.

But he underestimated a temple cultivator.

"Like" is a feeling similar to "happiness" and "sadness" in the eyes of a temple cultivator, but it may last longer.This kind of emotion can only be felt by himself, so simply speaking, he likes Osamu Dazai, which is only his own business and has nothing to do with the other party.

What's more, a temple repair is a guy who has gone back in time dozens of times and failed to save his lover.

The countless deaths of his previous lover made him realize that no matter how beautiful his lover was, once he died, what would appear in front of him would be an extremely ugly corpse.

Osamu Dazai has been trying to kill himself in various ways over the years. Even though he has survived tenaciously until now, Jiichi Ichijo still has no expectations of him.

He doesn't want to put the illusion of love on the other party.After all, maybe one day Osamu Dazai will die like his previous lovers?

Every relationship ended with the death of his lover, which caused him to lose confidence in such things as falling in love.

As for stopping the other party and making the other party give up death?

A temple repair never thought about it from the beginning to the end.

Because at the beginning, he also had the idea of ​​staying away from the world and getting rid of it completely, but he didn't succeed because of the supernatural ability.Therefore, of course he would not point fingers at others in this kind of matter.

Besides, Osamu Dazai himself may not like him, and he has been teasing him just for fun-he is such a bad guy.

A temple cultivator stretched out his hand, picked up a big red apple from the fruit plate, and bit into it crisply.Then he picked up the mobile phone that he had thrown aside before, held it with one hand, and typed quickly.

Also typing as fast as him was Doppo Kunikida who conveyed instructions for Edogawa Ranpo in the Armed Detective Agency.

The manpower of the Armed Detective Agency is really too small.

Osamu Dazai went directly to the main criminal.

Miyazawa Kenji, Nakajima Atsushi, and the newcomer Izumi Kyoka are responsible for checking the nearby bombs bit by bit based on the location provided by Edogawa Ranpo and starting from the detective agency.

There are so many bombs scattered throughout Yokohama that they cannot be exhausted alone.

The big incident that endangered the entire Yokohama brought out the military police, the Supernatural Secret Service Division and others collectively.But there are only so many people, and not all of them have rich experience in bomb disposal. In addition, the location of the bombs is unknown, and they need to be checked one by one. Their workload is very heavy.

Ranpo Edogawa was holding a map in his hand, and the table was in a mess, all the information he requested from the military and police—that was the route they took when they were tracking down the second-in-command of the illegal organization these days, as well as information from other sources. Relevant information about the second-in-command himself obtained from members of illegal organizations.

Circles were quickly circled on the map, and that was where Edogawa Ranpo had deduced from a lot of data, where the fixed bombs were located.

The clerks took a picture of the map he had finished marking, and handed one copy to Kunikida Doppo, who then sent it to the military police and the Ability Secret Service; the other was sent to Nakajima Atsushi and others who were doing bomb discharge work around the area. .

"I have found all the bombs at fixed positions..." Edogawa Ranpo rested his chin on one hand, held a pencil in his mouth, and kept shaking it up and down, "But there are only 213 bombs. There are 224 bombs on the movable hostages. However, these people have either received the threat of 'if they dare to call the police or if something is wrong, they will detonate the bomb immediately', so far they dare not spread the news; or the bomb has not yet come from them. exposed."

"Dingling..." Edogawa Ranbu's mobile phone suddenly rang a text message notification.

"Huh? The movement is really slow... But I should be able to catch up." Edogawa Ranpo muttered while taking out his mobile phone.

He was busy with his hands, and he didn't forget to say: "Moreover, the bomb is very likely to be carried away from Yokohama by the carrier, spreading the scope of this explosion to a farther and wider place."

Tanizaki Naomi crossed out the bombs that had been disposed of by the military police and the Supernatural Secret Service Division based on the information Kunikida Doppo handed over.After hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, he frowned, "It sounds really bad..."

The prisoner announced his criminal declaration in an extremely high-profile manner.During this period, in order to prove that what he said was true, he also randomly reported two locations. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there were explosions in those two locations just as he said.

For this reason, everyone in Yokohama was in danger, and the whole city fell into extreme panic. The panicked citizens hurriedly packed up their things and fled, causing unprecedented chaos.

In the face of a catastrophe, everyone was lucky, thinking that they would be fine if they escaped from Yokohama.

When some people drive on the road, they find that there are so many people who have the same idea as them, so many that there is a very serious traffic jam in the city.

Even all kinds of public transportation are crowded with people, and many buses are even shaken left and right by the crowd, making people suspect that the cars will be overwhelmed at any time.

The panic and riots of the crowd also greatly hindered the bomb discharge work of the military police and the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

"So, is it really the best way to catch the prisoner directly?" Tanizaki Naomi said worriedly while helping to sort out the documents.

Haruno Kirako was very puzzled: "If that's the case, why did Mr. Dazai insist on going there alone?"

Edogawa leaned on the back of the chair in disorder, holding the mobile phone in both hands, while editing the text messages, he explained without raising his head: "Because that guy is very clever, once he notices that there are more suspicious people around him, he will definitely All bombs will be detonated regardless."

"Is that so..." The clerks became even more worried, "But such a guy, wouldn't he have no safety precautions around him? Wouldn't it be dangerous for Mr. Dazai to go alone?"

Edogawa Luanpo threw the phone aside, peeled a lollipop for himself, and said casually: "Why are you worried about him? If you die, won't you fulfill that guy's wish?"

"..." The clerks looked at each other.

Tanizaki Naomi said, "But even so, Mr. Ranpo still arranged for my brother to go there with Dr. Yosano, right?"

Edogawa snorted indiscriminately, turned the office chair around, turned his back to them, and muttered softly, "It's not for that guy..."

Although the end result is not bad.

Junichiro Tanizaki and Akiko Yosano, who were mentioned by them, abandoned the scooter early because of the serious traffic jam on the road and chose to walk.

At this moment, they came to a dilapidated residential building and stayed in a dark and narrow alley.

On the open road outside the alley, the horns of vehicles and the hurried footsteps of pedestrians can be heard endlessly.

Under the cover of Tanizaki Junichiro's supernatural power, the two detective agencies, who were not discovered by anyone, hid in the dark, looked around with serious expressions, observed everything in front of them, and quietly waited for the one that Edogawa Ranpo told them The time has come.

At this time, Tanizaki Junichiro suddenly found something from the crowd.

"With Dr. Yosano!"

"Huh?" Yosano Akiko followed his line of sight and locked on to the target, "Is it finally here..."

The sidewalk was bustling with people, and the man was obviously walking in the crowd, but it gave people a feeling of being out of the world.Therefore, the two detective agencies found him without much effort.

When he got close to the two of them, Tanizaki Junichiro pulled them into the alley where they were, and then activated his supernatural power to envelop the other party.

The passers-by in a hurry were shrouded in the crisis of the big bang, and they didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to other things, so they naturally didn't notice any abnormalities around them.

After the man was dragged into the alley by Tanizaki Junichiro, Yosano Akiko and her machete followed immediately.

The other party carried the machete on his shoulders imposingly, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing her smile, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help shivering, silently moved aside, and looked sympathetically at the person he had dragged into the alley just now.

Yosano Akiko didn't care about his small gestures, and said, "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to treat you personally."

"build."
