After I retired, I became a Butei clerk

In the end, Shiratori Eri stopped after hitting Tosi with multiple fractures on his body, and also paid special attention to those places that were particularly painful but not easy to leave marks.

After being beaten, Dostoevsky couldn't even speak. He coughed violently when he opened his mouth, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

However, he still looked indifferent, just staring closely at Shiratori Eri, the emotions in his eyes became more and more difficult to discern.

"I guess, you are wondering why your ability doesn't work on me. You actually tried to activate the ability a few times just now, but either I avoided it inadvertently, or it didn't take effect, right? You Thinking about how I did it."

Eri Shiratori squatted on the ground very calmly, looked at Dostoevsky who was trying to prop up his body but failed, and then said this.

She immediately saw the change in the demon's eyes, looking at her very coldly, and then she continued to speak slowly, "Actually, I don't know, I'm really sorry to make you look forward to it."

"Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

"But the reason why I hit you is that I can talk to you about it. It's very simple. It's just that I think you should hit."

Shiratori Eri glanced at the computers used by Tosi, and she deliberately avoided them when hitting him.There is still a bunch of data flashing there now, but because she is not very good at electronic products, she can't understand it at all.

"Since you can confront Senior Dazai, you should also belong to the type who is extremely smart and can easily read people's hearts. But you chose to use it to deal with human beings. In order to satisfy your selfish desires, countless innocent people were hurt. This I can't stand it, so I came to you, it's as simple as that."

"is it?"

Even though he was beaten almost to death, Tosi's eyes remained unwavering, and he even smiled leisurely, "Then Miss Shiratori, I'm a little curious. Is it because of those ordinary people who were hurt by me, or because of you?" You and Osamu Dazai were both injured by me, which made you come to me so angry?"

"If I just hurt ordinary people who have nothing to do with you, would you still be so angry? After all, I did so many things before and hurt many people, and I didn't see you coming."

"Only when you care about the people you care about and yourself get hurt, that's why you rush to find me, the black hand behind the scenes. Aren't you also acting for your own selfish desire?"

"Then our

There seems to be no difference between. "

He finally came to a conclusion for his words, jokingly watching Shiratori Eri fall silent.

"..."

"Sorry, please let me take back my previous evaluation of you and express my opinion of you again."

After being quiet for a while, Shiratori Eri spoke to Tuo Si sincerely as if she had just recovered, "It seems inappropriate to say you are smart, but actually I think you may be mentally ill."

Dostoyevsky, who has been spinning around in conspiracies and tricks, and has a habit of talking around people, has always been communicated with a mentality of fear, defense or admiration. This is the first time that someone directly pointed at his face and said There was something wrong with him, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. ?

"I don't really understand what you're thinking. I'm just an ordinary person with average abilities and intelligence. My biggest wish in life is to have a good life for myself and the people around me. Then I will be satisfied."

Eri Shiratori expressed her thoughts plainly, "It is true that I came to you because Senior Dazai was injured. Is it normal to be angry at the people around me?"

"But when I act for the people around me, I can't be angry for other people who are hurt in front of my eyes? Your logic is really strange. Do I have to choose one or the other? I'm not the computer in your hand, I can only follow the A fixed pattern of doing things.”

Shiratori Eri continued to talk about her point of view with no expression, "As for selfishness, please understand. Although human beings have selfishness, they do act for selfishness, but few people will seek countless innocent people for it. lives, destroying their lives, destroying social order."

"I and all such selfish people are called ordinary people. And you are called terrorists. If I didn't want to send you to prison, you might be killed by me now."

Hearing Shiratori Eri's words, Tosi let out a sigh, with a slight mockery in his eyes, "Killing one person is also killing, and killing many people is also killing. Killing a good person makes everyone feel extremely sad, but when a bunch of wicked people die, everyone Rejoice. They are all human beings, so why are they treated so differently? In the final analysis, human lives are not equivalent.”

"Especially the emergence of supernatural powers has directly created a barrier between human beings that can never be erased. People with supernatural powers rely on their supernatural powers to commit crimes, and ordinary people are trembling with trepidation, letting the supernatural powers that cannot be chosen by nature determine a person's dignity, In my opinion, there is something wrong with the world at all!"

Although he was in a mess on the ground, Tosi's eyes seemed to be looking from afar, "You want to kill me to protect ordinary people, and I don't think it's different from me doing it to purify the world's supernatural beings. It's just It’s just a matter of personal value orientation.”

Hearing this, Shiratori Eri nodded, "Indeed, what you said is also reasonable. In fact, in the end, it may be that personal positions are different, but..."

"The world is unequal from the very beginning. Some people have everything they need, some have nothing, some people are enjoying peace, some people yearn for a glimmer of light in the dark, some people do a lot of evil but no retribution, and some people do good deeds all their lives but have no good results."

Eri Shiratori thought of those unknown people who died in order to protect history, and she was silent for a long time before continuing to speak, "But there are always people who choose to ignite their lives for the happiness of all human beings, just so that others can continue to live safely."

"They are shining existences in human history. I like them very much, and I love this world protected by them very much. So for this reason, I absolutely don't want to see people like you wantonly destroying this world.

"You said that the world with supernatural powers is unfair, but I think that even without supernatural powers, the existence of people like you who let others die just because of their brains is a kind of inequality."

"Supernatural abilities are not a sin. Those who are guilty are those who commit crimes because of their power. It is their heart. You are like this in my eyes. So I will not listen to any of your opinions, and will only follow my ideas."

"You choose to destroy, I choose to protect, that's all."

Speaking of this, Shiratori Eri stood up, relaxed her fingers, and then smiled at Tuo Si, "I seem to have said before, please shut up as much as possible, otherwise I will hit you as many times as you say, Do you still remember how many there are now? Please tell me, if I don’t remember, I will hit it casually.”

She calmly prepared to do it again. Anyway, no matter what he said, if it didn't match her ideas, there was no need to listen. If she wanted to destroy the world so much, then she, the person who wanted to protect the world, had to hold on first before speaking.

In the end, Shiratori Eri threw the comatose Tosi into the Honmaru, and then began to worry.

Although she said that she would send him to prison when she was talking to him, how would she send him there?She couldn't directly reveal her own identity. If Tuo Si was sent to custody, it was hard to guarantee that he would not disclose his affairs to the military and police in order to drag herself into the water.

After much deliberation, she couldn't think of a solution, so Shiratori Eri had to go back with Honmaru filled with two people, and went to bed and rest worried. The next day, when she cooked and brought it to Osamu Dazai, she didn't even think about it. In the end, Osamu Dazai hit the nail on the head point out.

"What is Eri-chan thinking? Can you tell me. Maybe I can help."

After a good rest, Osamu Dazai's complexion improved a lot, and he didn't know where his tenacious vitality came from. On the second day after receiving the gunshot wound, he was able to sit up from the bed. Looking at Shiratori Eri with a smile on her face, she directly pointed out the worries in her heart.

"No need, senior, I can..."

"Eri-chan!"

Osamu Dazai suddenly called Shiratori Eri's name harshly, making her subconsciously stunned, "Yes."

Seeing Shiratori Eri was a little startled, Dazai Osamu's eyes were complicated and dark, but he continued to speak in a stern and reprimanding tone, "Is it in your eyes that I, all the members of the detective agency, none of them are worthy of your trust. So no matter what I say, you won't believe me, will you?"

"No, I didn't..."

"You don't? If you don't, why are you still trying to lie to me at this time, Erika, what are you trying to do? You have to lie to me until now!"

At the end, Osamu Dazai looked at Shiratori Eri's expression on the verge of crying after being severely questioned by him, sighed, and spoke in a soft tone, "I have always felt that there is a long distance between Eri-chan and us It seems that we are only willing to observe us from a distance, but do not participate in it. No matter what is hidden in the heart, one person carries everything."

"It's the same with the president this time. When you realize that you seem to be able to solve it, you don't want to risk it in the hands of others. You would rather get hurt than take a step back."

"But Eri-chan, have you ever thought that the way you solve all problems by yourself forever will only make people who want to care about you feel uncomfortable looking at the distance you have created by yourself?"

Dazai Osamu thought of himself and Edogawa Ranpo's one-two-three plan to solve the perceived psychological problems of Shiratori Eri, lowered his voice and said softly, "Since entering the detective agency, Eri-chan has been using the biggest Trying to protect everyone, we really like you and trust you, so I hope you can rely on us a little bit when there is a problem."

"Is it okay, Eri-chan? Are you willing to trust me?"

In the end, Dazai Osamu had a gentle and sincere look on his face, his eyes were full of worry for Shiratori Eri, seeing him like this, I could feel the faint worry in his heart.

Except for not being able to control her emotions after returning to the present world, Shiratori Eri, who has never lost control, felt extremely uncomfortable for a while.

Feeling overwhelmed by the destruction of his entire plan, being forced to recall the psychological shadows of the past by the announcement of Fusangshen's appearance, unwilling to kill the enemy with his hands, recalling the victims of the last battle and guiding the remaining companions to safety The sense of responsibility to return to the present world, and the exhaustion caused by constantly paying attention to protecting the secrets of one's own gods in the present world...

All the backlogged emotions exploded in this short period of time, making Shiratori Eri cry all at once, but Dazai Osamu was embarrassed all of a sudden, and asked her extremely carefully, "Eri-chan?"

"I didn't disbelieve Dazai-senpai." Shiratori Eri choked up, she just wanted to keep a secret, she didn't know how to explain her own matter.

"Well, I know," Osamu Dazai said softly, "Eri-chan just doesn't know how to explain it. But I still want to help Eri-chan, and I want you to trust me a little bit."

"So can you tell me what's bothering you?"

There was imperceptible persuasion in his tone.

Shiratori Eri almost subconsciously said in his words, "Senior, I locked up the devil after beating him half to death, what should I do next?"

"what?"

At this moment, Osamu Dazai suddenly suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
