Salvation equals death

After the Moby Dick incident was resolved, life in Yokohama returned to normal, but the usually lazy detectives used too much force in this operation, causing all of them to fall into a state of depression after the incident.

"One more cup of coffee~!" Dazai, who has turned into a lazy and squinting eyes, rolled his face on the keyboard on the coffee shop table, "Tsuko Tsuko, today you are as fragrant and charming as a white peony flower, and the weather is so good, why don't you come with me?" die together..."

"Please go yourself, Mr. Dazai." The waitress Metsuko, holding a tray, smiled and rejected Dazai's invitation to die in love, and put the coffee on the table, "Remember to buy insurance in advance, Mr. Dazai, your account It has become a negative number, so don’t have a one-year credit again.”

"What, it's negative again?!" Dazai widened his eyes like a child in shock, "Didn't Chi-chan help me pay off the money a while ago?"

"You still have the nerve to say, Mr. Dazai, it's not something a brother should do to let a young sister pay off his debts." Tsuko seemed to be angrily on her hips, thinking of the little girl who was only 1.2 meters tall, who was used to The gentle and cheerful she was filled with righteous indignation, "Even if my younger sister is an idol and earns more than you, Mr. Dazai should also shoulder the responsibility of being an older brother."

"At least don't turn around and spend all the money left by my sister!"

Dazai was speechless by Tsuko, and the little white cat basking in the sun on the window sill of the coffee shop popped out from its beautiful short fur, shaking its ears nonchalantly.

Vera didn't feel much about Tsuko's accusation, because in fact... the money was not Vera's, but Dazai's.

Back then, Dazai was a cadre in the port mafia, but he couldn't save money. Kunikida called him "the combination of a poor god and a devil", and there was nothing wrong with it, because Dazai was such a person.He has no concept of money. When he is rich, he spends a lot of money. When he is down, he has to pay for a cup of coffee. Compared with the workaholic and the small financial expert Hara Nakaya who once raised a large family of sheep, Dazai is simply another extreme. .

At the beginning, Vera felt that Dazai's attitude of spending money was not good, so she discussed with Mori Ogai and deducted part of Dazai's salary, but Dazai didn't realize it, and he didn't care if he got more or less.

Vera saved the money deducted every month and saved it regularly or made some investments, and then divided the money into two shares and hung them under the name of Dazai, one for the wife and one for the coffin. The only thing is to ensure that Dazai has a way out no matter what in the future.With such good intentions, even Mori Ogai was moved to tears, saying that Dazai's poor son finally has a mother to take care of him, and a child with a mother is like a treasure.

After being licked on the head by the soba noodles, Vera shook her head calmly, forget it, not to mention the idiot of the leader.

Mori Ogai's feelings for Dazai are actually quite complicated. On the one hand, he raises Dazai, who is very similar to him, as half of his son. On the other hand, he is afraid that this child who is too similar to himself will kill him one day.

Because Mori Ogai also became the leader in this way, so he has no doubt that if one day Dazai has something he wants to protect - he will kill him in order to gain power.

It has to be said that Mori Ogai really knows Dazai too well, he is really capable of doing this kind of thing.

Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen Odasaku these days?The system is also gone. Could it be that they are on a business trip together?

Vera Meow was in a daze, but Soba, who was a big cat, had already automatically and consciously cleaned the hair of the little white cat, but Vera, who had recovered, refused to let him lick it. She held Soba's nose, He raised his head and looked at the cat in front of him.

After being raised for a while, Soba has lost its initial skinny appearance, and has gradually grown into a calm and stable big cat. At this time, it looks at the little white cat with a pair of strange-colored eyes, with a cat face. It looks very gentle.

Willa Meow stared fixedly at those eyes, and after a while, suddenly stretched her head over and kissed the corner of the big cat's mouth.

With a sound of "Boom", Willa Meow turned around, only to find that Dazai had accidentally knocked over the coffee cup, and the coffee juice dripped all over the table. He shook his hands from side to side like noodles, and said coquettishly, "It's so hot, It's hot."

Vera subconsciously wanted to jump over to see how the silly boy was burnt, but she was suddenly caught in the back of the neck, and the beautiful short body with strong limbs jumped up, crossed the half-person high sofa and the long table, and slammed fell to the ground.

This leap over four people caught the attention of Yosano Akiko and others. As a cat, soba noodles are a bit too A.

Mishorn, who landed lightly on the ground, turned around, her pupils of different colors seemed to be bright, cold and sharp, holding the little white cat in her mouth, which was holding back her paws because of the admiration of the cat's nature, and swept Dazai calmly but coldly. glance.

One person and one cat looked at each other across the air, Dazai raised his eyebrows and showed a hearty and innocent smile, while Meitan turned around and walked out without hesitation, the hostility at that moment just now seemed to be an illusion of everyone.

"Dazai, why did you offend the manliest man in our agency other than the president?" Yosano Akiko took a sip of coffee and said with a meaningful smile, "Little guy has hated you since he came back, Dazai."

"Dr. Yosano... I always feel that you just sat down with curses..." Kunikida protested weakly in front of the most manly woman in the club.

"Well." Dazai picked up the overturned coffee cup on the table, and gently licked the corners of his lips, "Probably because he said something he didn't like to hear."

Dazai thought and thought, and finally let out a meaningless syllable.

"Tsk."

……

Naka also recently fell in love with drag racing in Yokohama.

Ever since he got the armed motorcycle presented by his sister, Zhong also put all the expensive cars he bought in the past behind him. Now he has a self-discipline weapon that can soar into the sky and shoot at the enemy. What? Harley Gold Wing and BMW Kawasaki are all floating clouds for Chuya.In terms of speed and passion, who can compare with the black technology from pre-civilization?Zhong also thinks he can.

"But having said that, sister, this car should have a very handsome name, right?"

"Oh, it's called '4399 Little Rabbit Ji'."

Okay, I get it, hold your little mouth, and stop talking.

The motorcycle is not a motorcycle, but a human-shaped self-discipline weapon. It is the most valuable of all Vera's self-discipline weapons. In addition to the motorcycle and the mechanical arm, it can change hundreds of forms. It integrates offense and defense, can be converted into a means of transportation, and will automatically protect the owner when the owner is in danger. It can be called a good helper for combat assistance.

If the system was still there, seeing Vera so recklessly give away such a self-discipline weapon would probably make my eyes squirt with heartache, but since the system is not there, then Vera will naturally be as happy as she can.

What's more, Zhongye has been very obedient since he was a child, and he never asked her for anything. Now that he has something he has expressed his desire for, even the star Vera in the sky has to be picked off for him.

Uh... Although Chu also only thought it was a modified superbike.

Knowing that his sister is not in danger and just likes to wander outside, Chuya also let go readily, saying that he would go back and inform the leader, but in fact, when Mori Ogai heard that Vera Meow had left with a three-colored cat They didn't dare to say a word. In fact, Mori Ogai and Fukuzawa Yukichi were rebellious children, but both of them had the painful experience of being run over by Natsume Soseki with a cane for two or three streets when they were young.

Although I was a little depressed that the teacher didn't want to stay in Hong Kong and Hong Kong and instead stayed in the Armed Detective Agency, but considering that the teacher is the founder of Wuzhen after all, it is not incomprehensible.

It’s understanding, it’s not human if you don’t make trouble, Mori Ogai sent a congratulatory message to Fukuzawa Yukichi every minute, sent Vera’s photo one, two, three, four, five, and told Fukuzawa Yukichi by name— —Hey, this is the teacher's daughter.

On the same day, according to the unreliable news from Osamu Dazai, the president suddenly purchased a large number of records and videos of Harbor Girls online, and stayed silently in the room alone, not even buying the three cats at home.

At that time, Vera was lying on the back of the buckwheat noodles and fell asleep in a warm ball. After waking up, listening to Haruno Kirako and Tanizaki Naomi discussing this matter, she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have an appearance that could easily cause trouble. Misunderstand.

At one concert, Vera played the role of a female samurai. Under Mori Ogai's mischief, she used the appearance of Haruno Sakura and wore green colored contact lenses. She performed a set of sword drawing skills on the spot.

Silver hair and green eyes, samurai, Ju He Zhan - is this character familiar?Of course I'm familiar with Fukuzawa Yukichi, isn't that what Fukuzawa Yukichi looks like?

"That's why I said that you are really like father and daughter." Sanhuamao said leisurely, licking its fur, "It's easy to recognize people who practice knives, and you and Yuji have that kind of temperament. I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time."

Unlike Vera, who is greedy for cats, the reason why Natsume Soseki stayed at the detective agency was to get more information from here to control the future situation. It was the same this time. Soon, the port mafia caught The news of the leader of the "House of Dead Rats" spread to Natsume Soseki's ears. It is said that the fall of the beluga whale was planned by this person whose name is still too long to be written, and is simply called "Tuosi".

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind." The three-flowered cat showed a thoughtful expression, which did not show at all on the cat's face, "But then again, this man can't be arrested, so what is the purpose of going with the scammer so happily?" Woolen cloth?"

"Didn't it mean that he was weak, anemic, and coughed because he was afraid of the cold?" Vera didn't like to wear legs since she had buckwheat noodles. Anyway, she couldn't sprint fast. "Is it possible that he is weak in combat and unable to resist?"

Sanhuamao revealed the emoji of "力脸笑笑.jpg" and asked, "If you heard that Dazai was arrested, what would your first reaction be...?"

"He did it on purpose, most likely because he was following someone's information." Willa Meow gnawed at the beautiful short ears, and the drowsy Soba Noodles moved its ears, but instead of struggling, it even slid its tail down to the little one. The white cat hugged it more comfortably, "But you know what you know, and you have to save it."

"Why?" Sanhuamao tilted its head, "You and Dazai have a tacit understanding that others cannot understand, and I actually can't understand him a little bit-in fact, Ranbu is not unable to understand him, but just can't understand him. .”

Vera thought to herself, that's right, expecting Ranpo, a child whose mental age is always eight years old, to understand Dazai Osamu's heart, this is too difficult, the world's number one detective can't do this kind of thing.

"Because his death is his business, and my attitude is my own business." Vera Meow hugged her soba-like tail and rubbed it on her face, "Just like what Oda said, Dazai didn't Not the kind of very bad and extreme person, he is just a child who is too shrewd but accidentally starts thinking, and thinking about this kind of thing can't stop before getting the answer, so he will be left in loneliness, Crying all the time."

"In professional terms, he is a flattering personality. Because he has no desires, he accepts other people's wishes and constantly thinks about the meaning of life, just like Dr. Mori asked him to help him, Dazai never refused."

"Live in despair, don't believe in the existence of beauty in this world, but still can't give up on this world—he is such a contradictory person."

"He is too smart and understands people's hearts, so when he pretends to be rich, everyone will think he is a rich man; when he pretends to be lazy, everyone will think he is a lazy man; but when he is in pain, everyone will think he is moaning for nothing. "

"I'm stupid, and I'm not smart. I can't tell what's hidden behind Dazai's real and fake behaviors, so I chose the most stupid way - trust him completely."

"If he wants to die, I will wait and see; if he is in pain, I will comfort him; if he fails to commit suicide, I will save him; if he needs help, I will give him a hand."

"If he really wants to be free, I will not force him to live. Similarly, as long as he still has a glimmer of hope, I will not give up on him."

……

The door is closed.

Dazai, who was leaning against the door, had a smile on his lips, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, flickering on and off, he couldn't see his emotions, let alone his inner thoughts.

In the room belonging to Dazai, there was a typewriter on the desk and an open book. If anyone could see the cover of the book, they would find the name "Edgar Allan Poe" written on it.

Edgar Allan Poe, the chief planner of the group, the opponent of Edogawa Ranpo Jishengyu and He Shengliang, has the ability of [The Black Cat of the Rue Morgue], which can lead readers into the scene, in the book The world in the book is a different dimension, and people who enter the book will lose their abilities and become ordinary people. Unless the truth is revealed, they will be trapped in the book world forever.

Poe's is priceless in the market, but there is a box of such things in Luanpo's hands, most of which are "challenge letters" sent by Poe unwillingly after losing to Luanpo.

But this one is different.

Dazai didn't touch the book, but just sat down in front of the typewriter, the intertwined thoughts in his mind twisted together, and finally laid a net that made it impossible for birds to escape.

During Dazai's silence, ink stains suddenly appeared on the blank side of the book, and soon, two lines of words emerged clearly.

【Mr. Dazai, I know you are watching. 】

[Let's talk openly and honestly. 】
