Chuya Nakahara, an excellent port mafia operative, is either at work or on his way to work. The main reason why he is so busy is because he is the only operative of the port mafia who can fight. There is really no manpower. , he can only run around alone.

He has heard his boss sigh more than once that he wants a smart subordinate.

——If possible, I want it too, after all, I can't keep up with the boss's thoughts...

He thought secretly in his heart, lowering his hat to prevent his keen boss from seeing his thoughts.

"Mr. Nakahara, do you think we are going to make an excellent promotional video? I feel that there is nothing suitable for the people below to be operators..." Mori Ogai pinched his temple in distress, feeling a headache over this issue.

Zhong Yuanzhong also selectively kept quiet, he knew that his resourceful boss must have made a decision, and asking himself was just a casual statement.

Sure enough, the next second, Mori Ogai said: "Go and urge the propaganda department to make the video quickly."

"Yes, Boss." Zhongyuan Zhong also responded to this task, turned his head and walked towards the Propaganda Department, flipping through his mobile phone while walking to see how his upcoming itinerary was going.

He swiped his finger on the screen of the phone, and suddenly found a strange software on his phone. Out of curiosity, Zhong Yuanzhong also clicked into it.

After clicking on the software, the first thing that appeared was a black screen. When Zhongyuan Zhong also thought that his mobile phone was poisoned, a word slowly popped up on the screen:

【I didn't succeed in entering the water...】

Slightly frowning, Zhongyuan Zhong also naturally knows what it is to enter the water, isn't it just committing suicide by jumping into the river?But why does this software start with a black background?And the words of suicide.

Then, bright colors slowly appeared on the screen, and a white hand appeared on the screen, and then the camera gradually zoomed out, a black-haired little boy stood up from the river bank, his whole body was wet, decadent and gloomy, with a kite color There was no light in his eyes.

Zhong Yuanzhong also poked the screen, and saw the little boy looking in this direction, and a sentence popped up on the screen again:

【You saved me? 】

——No, who saved you?Don't talk nonsense, I just opened the software!

With that in mind, Zhongyuan Zhong also answered the option "Yes" very honestly - who made the only option on the screen! ! !

【So that's how it is, since you saved me, why don't you just pack my dinner as well? 】

The wet boy spoke as a matter of course, completely ignorant of politeness.

Nakahara Chuya twitched the corner of his mouth, intending to poke an option of rejecting, who knows, this time there was no option, the screen turned and he arrived indoors, the boy had already changed into a beautiful kimono, and was sitting Dinner was served at the table.

He took a special look, the boy ate canned crab meat, well, there was a note on the screen with the name of the food...

Nakahara also poked it a few times, but found that there was no response, so he put the phone in his pocket casually, and went to pass on Mori Ogai's instructions, and then went back to the office to continue to look at what was going on with the software.

When he arrived at the office, the little boy on the phone had already finished eating the canned crab meat and was flipping through the books in the room. A dialogue window was flashing on the screen:

[I didn't expect you to have this book here, "Complete Suicide Manual", this is a very powerful book! 】

——what the hell name?What are you doing reading such an unhealthy book?

Zhong Yuanzhong also reflexively complained in his heart. He swipe the screen and found that what he can see now is the living room, bedroom, and study room. It seems that the kitchen and bathroom cannot be turned around, and the garden can also be turned around. Exit and check it out.

【What do you seem to be wondering about? 】

The little boy tilted his head, and after saying this, he said naturally:

【Are you thinking why am I in the river?As you can see, I went into the water~]

His tone was extraordinarily cheerful. After Zhong Yuan heard it, he felt like wanting to beat him up, but forget it, this is just a software, and the kid in it is still a child, so he didn't feel angry. .

【Surprised?I just want to try to understand what it's like to die, isn't it normal for a human being to wonder? 】

"No, it's not normal at all, okay?!" Zhong Yuan Zhong also said, he poked hard at the rebuttal option that appeared on the screen, thinking that the brat would be frustrated by this, but he never expected that the other party would be so shameless :

【What?Are you worried about me?What an amazing person!You look like you live alone, mind if I stay here temporarily?I don’t really want to go back home for the time being…]

Zhong Yuanzhong also let out a heck, he doesn't want such a rambunctious brat, he just wants to refuse, but - he has no choice:)

So, the little boy just stayed in that "home" as a matter of course and lived there.

Zhongyuanzhong also regards this game as an idle game, and opens it to play from time to time, or in other words, opens it to take a look.

Gradually, he discovered the boy's hobbies. This boy likes to stay in the room and read books, likes to eat canned crab meat, and he will feel a little bored when he sees dogs.

He also found that he could add things to this "house". Zhong Yuanzhong also bought some nice clothes and stuffed them into the closet, and bought some food to put in the kitchen, and the boy would run to the kitchen to find food by himself.

However, Zhong Yuanzhong also found that the boy would not choose to cook every time. He needs to choose cooked food first, put it in the refrigerator, and the boy will heat the food to eat by himself.

Without this, the boy would rather be hungry than eat.

Nakahara Chuya: What are these bad things?It must be changed! ! !

He started to put less cooked food in the kitchen, and a lot more lettuce and raw meat that needed to be manipulated. The boy really didn't have the desire to eat at all. After a few days, he didn't even eat at all.

The little flesh that had been raised at first seemed to be gone soon, and the boy changed back to that emaciated appearance again. His slender body made one wonder if it would be broken in the next second.

Zhongyuan Zhong also saw that he had been fasting for several days and refused to eat. He felt inexplicably regretful and wondered what the hell he was messing with?This is obviously a paper man, what are you doing seriously? !

While stuffing some delicious cooked food into the kitchen again, he paid attention to the boy's movements. He saw the boy in a clean suit casually put a windbreaker on his shoulders, as if he smelled something.

The boy moved the tip of his nose, his eyes lit up, jumped off the high pile of books, walked slowly towards the kitchen, took out the cooked food that had just been stuffed in, and ate in small bites in the dining room.

Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't help showing his aunt's smile, he didn't feel it himself, but the subordinates who entered his office were not blind, they were all frightened, and they were all guessing what happened to the Zhongyuan operatives recently, how did they start to have bosses? Father's kind smile?

I didn't know that rumors about myself were spreading in the Mafia, and Zhong Yuanzhong was still paying attention to the boy's growth. The time in the game passed quickly. After a while, a year passed. The mailbox in the yard Inside, a small letter appeared.

Zhong Yuanzhong also poked the letter, and saw that it read:

[To Shuji Tsushima:

Knowing that you have not passed away after going down the river, I am very relieved for my father. I hereby find your whereabouts. Seeing that you are all safe and living a good life, I don’t want to disturb you, so I left on my own.However, my father is now seriously ill, and I am afraid that he will die soon. I hope that my son will return home and inherit the inheritance of my father.

From Tsushima Haraemon]

Zhongyuan Zhong also suddenly realized at this moment that he had raised the cub for so long and still didn't know what the other party's name was!

Was it originally called Shuji Tsushima?Zhong Yuanzhong also poked the picture back into the room, and as expected, he found the boy reading a book with his short legs dangling in the study.

The boy seemed to know that he was coming, and raised his head. On his childish face, he could vaguely see the handsome appearance of the future, and his iris-colored eyes were clear and clean.

The screen quietly zoomed in, and Zhong Yuan Zhong also felt in a daze that his face was indeed reflected in the other party's eyes—but it was just the reflection of the screen.

[What do you seem to see? 】

The boy asked a question, but without waiting for an answer, he closed the book on his own. He was sitting on the highest pile of books. Finally, he jumped off the lowest pile of books and landed on the ground.

He patted his clothes, ignored the books scattered on the ground after falling, tilted his head and said:

【So it turns out, is it my father who delivered the letter?Want me to go back? 】

Zhong Yuanzhong also knew that the boy was very smart. During the "one year" of getting along, the other party could always guess the truth of many things from various details.

For example, you can guess your general job from the type of clothes you put in, guess your hobbies from the choice of ingredients, guess your temperament and preferences from the order of books, just like a living person... …

However, he is just a paper man, a programmed paper man!

Zhong Yuanzhong also poked the screen, and the "self" dialog box popped up on the screen: "Yes, do you want to read the letter?"

[No, it’s nothing more than letting me go back to inherit the family property or something, anyway, my family is like this. 】

The boy shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then raised the corners of his mouth with a smile. He leaned closer and said softly, 【Hey... can I still come to you in the future? 】

"Of course." Zhongyuan Zhong also agreed, he just stared at the boy like this, the other party didn't seem to plan to bring anything, only the mobile phone he bought for the other party, not even a ticket.

Just as he came in such a hurry, the other party's departure was also so hasty.

Walking up the path along the river bank, the boy didn't seem to have any burdens, let alone any worries, but the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to have a little more meaning than the previous smile.

"It seems...he doesn't look very happy..."

The "self" on the screen said so, but still stared at the boy, until the other person disappeared, he found out the little note that the boy stuffed into him just now, and it read impressively:

【Please call me Dazai Osamu, the so-called Shuji Tsushima is just a name given by my father. 】

Zhong Yuanzhong, who has no father and no mother, can't understand such an idea. Since it is a name given by his parents, he should cherish it!Why throw it away and take another name?It was as if he couldn't understand the boy running away from home.

However, this is just a game, there is nothing to care about, right?

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought so, but he didn't delete the game, even though the game screen was always empty, and the boy could no longer be found.

He flipped through the screen from time to time, looking at the pile of clothes he bought for the boy, he suddenly remembered the boy's complaints:

[Wow, they are all dark-colored clothes. It seems that you use this kind of clothes very often. Is it a profession that requires formal clothes but not so much attention to details? 】

[Aren't these things taken for granted?Moreover, even if the black clothes were stained with blood, it would be easy to cover up, right?Hahaha...don't be so serious!I'm just guessing, guessing~]

After thinking about it, he opened the kitchen screen again, and there was still some canned crab meat left, which was delicious that the boy hadn't finished eating.

The boy has an unusual love for canned crab meat, which seems to exist like a source of life energy:

[Canned crab meat?This is super-super awesome stuff!When I ate it for the first time, I was thinking, how can there be such a delicious thing in this world? 】

[Obviously all I ate in the past were foods with various nutrients, but none of them was as delicious as this food my father said was junk food! 】

[In the past, when I ate nutritious food, I felt like I was going to die. Fortunately, canned crab meat saved my sense of taste, so that I don’t feel that my sense of taste is gone~ It is probably a kind of kinetic energy of life, right?There is no point in living without it! 】

Zhong Yuanzhong also couldn't imagine what the legendary "feeling of dying" is. Thinking of the combination of various nutritious foods, maybe it is some kind of dark cuisine?Maybe that's how it hits the taste buds?

He looked through the bookcase again, and found that the books inside were really rich and varied, including "Das Kapital", "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Gene Biography", "West Internal Medicine"...

Looking at this pile of incomprehensible things, Zhongyuan Zhong also felt a headache for a long time, well, let's go and look at the documents by himself, and forget about that kid for now!

So, after several months, the game screen on Zhongya Zhongya's phone finally had a new change—his boy is back!

After opening it, he saw the familiar black screen, Zhongyuan Zhong also held his breath, he successfully felt the tension.

After a while, the opening is still familiar, boy... no, he can't be called a boy now, his boy has grown into a teenager!

The boy opened his eyes from the water, and was fished out of the water by Zhong Yuanzhong. A time number flashed on the screen, and he realized that it turned out that three full years had passed in the game.

Back then, the boy's body had grown a little longer and became taller, but his figure was as thin and slender as ever. The kite-colored broken hair blocked his eyes because of the boy's lowering of his head, making it difficult for Zhong Yuanzhong to see the other party's eyes. Look to judge the situation.

It's just that he vaguely felt that something was not right, and Zhongyuanzhong was also a little confused, and then he heard a voice, which was obviously familiar, not lively and cheerful in the past, but a little more gloomy:

【It turns out that it was you who... entered the water or something, it really didn't work...】

Zhongyuan Zhong also has question marks all over his face, this sounds very wrong!

Afterwards, Zhongyuan Zhong also saw the young man raised his head. There was no smile on that pretty face, only a cold expression. The originally clear and clean iris-colored eyes turned into a deep dark color. There were no highlights, only The endless abyss.

He just watched you quietly like this, making you feel a biting chill, as if you were facing the abyss itself.

Finally, the boy opened his mouth again:

[Yeah, a failure like me, what qualifications does it have to be accepted by the region?Maybe even the beast way won't accept me?It's ridiculous, what's the point of being alive?When can we come into contact with death? 】

The young man showed a faint smile, but it was as if he was crying. That smile full of sadness and despair made people feel distressed:

【Mr. Zhongyuan, I... really want to die...】

Nakahara Chuya changed his appearance after discovering that his cub left home:

——Damn it!Where's my cub?Where did that little cute, mischievous and picturesque cub go? !

——How did my cub become like this?You still tell me you want to die?Suicide is not good!You wake me up! ! !

——Going back and inheriting an inheritance will become like this?What did that Tsushima do to my cub?I want to hack him to death! ! !

The author has something to say: Happy New Year everyone~

A new episode is here. It was supposed to be a collection of extra episodes, but after thinking about it for a long time and working on it for a long time, I still chose this theme——Dazai, a paper man raised in Zhongye
