Grandpa Yasuo pushed Shuya before leaving, accidentally knocking his head under the counter.He, who was already on the verge of emotional collapse, became dizzy for a long time after the collision.

After regaining consciousness, Ying Tingqiu also found himself in a place like a movie theater.

He was alone in the audience, and the scenes of his short life were played on the screen of the movie.

Is this the legendary revolving lantern?

Standing in front of the screen, Qiu Ye immediately thought, he looked at the empty seats, he was the only one standing, and finally chose to sit down and watch these scenes.

These scenes seem to be shown in flashbacks. When Shuya sat down, the scenes were still playing a few months ago.He, Grandpa Yasuo and Mr. Oda discussed going to school together. At that time, he stood there crying so hard that no one could coax him.

After that, it played every time Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu came to chat with him, as well as the 'sheep', the former leader of the port mafia.

Qiu also found that he has kept every bit of the past three years in his mind, and every bit of memory here is extremely precious to him.Until the screen played to the scene where he dragged his feet and walked to the old book alley and grabbed Grandpa Yasuo's sleeve and passed out, he was stunned for a moment—he had no memory of the previous things, this: "revolving lantern", can play out?

Facts have proved that it is possible.Qiu also saw the picture before he lost his memory.

At the age of 10, he was sitting in the co-pilot of a car. Organ failure caused him to be in a semi-conscious state all the time. Driving beside him was a man in white clothes.

The man drove very fast, and kept chanting: "Get there soon", "Throw it away before you die" and so on.

Qiu, who was sitting in front of the screen watching this scene, was very suspicious that when the man said throwing away, he was referring to himself. After all, at that time, he looked like he was about to die.However, the man's face cannot be seen in the picture, probably because in my original memory, the man's face was blurred.

And at this moment, a truck in the picture directly collided with the car driven by the man in white. The impact of inertia caused the car to hang halfway obliquely on the edge of the downhill road.In the car, Qiu also slid out of the seat belt because of her small body. After hitting her head on the roof of the car, she fell out of the car window and rolled twice.

After that, the car exploded due to the deformation of the fuel tank and leakage.Qiu Ye, who was hit by the aftermath of the explosion, rolled directly along the lawn on the slope of the road to the lowest slum, and then a blank notebook without a cover fell directly beside him who was unconscious.

...I found out the reason why I lost my memory and appeared in a slum.

The screen continues to change, it should be a memory that continues to move forward.

When he was young, he was lying on the hospital bed, and he seemed to be talking to someone, but in the picture, he could only be seen lying on the hospital bed, and that was himself being infused.

"You are going to die." The voice said so, with a very calm tone, neither sad nor happy.

"Well, I know. It's just a pity that I've been stuck here and haven't gone out to see the outside world." He saw his young self answering like this.

"Do you want to continue living? Why? It's so hard." The man asked again, and Qiu also felt that he should be a pessimistic person who sees through life and death.

"Although it is very hard, I still want to live. After all, life is an opportunity." The young him said this, showing a pale smile.

"I have a way for you to live, but you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?" Qiu also noticed that his eyes lit up when he was young.

"I have a notebook, and I will give it to you for safekeeping, but you can't use it at will."

"Okay, no problem." Seeing his young self, he agreed without hesitation.

"Then you may live a very long life, nearly two hundred years old. In the human category, you may become a monster." The voice spoke again.

"Ah, is there any way to make me live the same life as a normal person?"

"Longevity is not good. I have always seen the most people want to live forever."

"No, I just hope that I can live. I will die when I should die, but not now."

"As long as you make an exchange with me, exchange an ability, then you will have the same lifespan as an ordinary person."

"Ok."

……

He saw his last answer, and then the picture changed again.This time he saw a woman injecting herself with a pale green fluid from a vein in her arm.

And lying on the hospital bed, gritted his teeth and sweated, as if he was enduring great pain.

Looking at this picture, he couldn't help but twitched his right hand, as if the muscle still had the memory of the pain at that time.

The woman left after the infusion. Qiu Ye watched her young self recover from the pain, got out of bed and secretly followed the woman's footsteps to the office next door to eavesdrop.

From the crack in the door, he saw a man and a woman sitting inside, and Qiu also felt inexplicably that the figure of that man was very similar to that of the man driving the car.

"Is that Qiuya still dead? The supernatural power injection reaction is so serious?" He heard the man speak.

"The whole body's organs are exhausted, and I can't hold on." The woman who just gave Qiu Ye an infusion replied.

"Really!" The man scolded: "The previous experimental subjects either had no supernatural reaction after injection, or died directly. Finally, there was a reaction, tsk."

"That can't be helped, it must be thrown away." The woman's voice sounded, her tone indifferent, "After all, we are a plant research laboratory to the outside world, and children's corpses cannot appear."

"Understood, I will take it to the slums and throw it away in two days. There are children who die every day there, and we can't suspect it."

…………

So that's the case, now he understands the story before he lost his memory.

It's just a very simple story about a semi-failed person with extraordinary abilities. The notebook without the cover should be left to him by the gentleman who has never seen it but only heard the voice, and let him keep it.

Maybe there was something on the cover that he didn't want him to know, so he tore it off.

Then that gentleman rescued him, and then he met Grandpa Yasuo Sakuraba, and spent three years of happiness, although not stable.

The picture on the screen became blurred again, and just when Qiu Ye thought that there was still a memory going forward, the picture was gone.

Because he woke up.Yes, literally wake up.

After opening his eyes, he found that he was not in a place that looked like a movie theater. He hid under the counter of the Sakura Court second-hand bookstore. The smell of blood that smells of rust.

When he just opened his eyes, he felt a little confused and at a loss. He listened quietly for a while, but there was no sound outside, very quiet, there was no sound of bullets hitting the bookshelves in the store, and no sound of people walking around.He turned his head to look outside, and the counter was supported by a collapsed bookshelf, forming a triangular area where he stayed.

This triangular area makes it difficult for people outside to see inside, and it is also difficult for Shuya to see outside clearly from inside.

Qiu Ye turned sideways and struggled to crawl out, intending to crawl out from the gap in the bookshelf to have a look at the situation outside.

"Ding——" There was a metallic sound as he climbed out. It was the key to the safe left by Grandpa Yasuo.

"..." Qiu Ye was stunned for a moment, turned around and found the key, put it away in the lapel of his clothes, and continued to climb out.

All the bookcases in the bookstore fell down, and the books turned into waste paper and piled up all over the floor. The glass windows and doors at the door were also completely damaged in the previous war, and there was no way to cover anything.

Qiu Ye carefully walked around the bookstore, but there was no one there.Then go to the broken door.

It was still dusk, and Qiu Ye realized belatedly that he was probably hiding under the counter, or he had been in a coma all day.It should be February 2th now.There were many people lying outside the door, everyone had bullet holes or blood on their bodies, and they should have died in the raid launched yesterday evening, but Qiu also found that there was no Grandpa Yasuo among these lying people.

Does this mean that Grandpa Yasuo is still alive?In that case, he had to find Grandpa Yasuo immediately.

Suddenly there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, Qiu Ye carefully stepped over the corpse lying in front of the bookstore, and walked out.As he walked past the house made of red bricks, he thought for a moment, reached out and broke two vines that were entwined on it.

Although his supernatural ability is very weak, but now, this is his only way to protect himself.

Qiu Ye leaned on the wall, carefully stepped over the corpses lying on the old book alley one after another, and walked outside.He wanted to confirm every lying corpse, looked at their faces with nervousness and fear, and heaved a sigh of relief after finding out that they were not Grandpa Yasuo.

Qiu Ye was the only one standing on the whole street, and everyone else was lying on the ground, and the people lying down were not only mafia, but also many innocent civilians.

Shuya even recognized one of the women, who had brought her daughter to the bookstore to buy picture books.Now she is lying on the ground, dead, without her daughter.

Qiu didn't dare to think about it. With his ability, the only thing he could do now was to find Grandpa Yasuo, or use his weak supernatural ability to protect himself in case of danger.

It was dusk now, and the time for the sun to fully set was getting closer and closer.Qiu also knew that it would be very dangerous for him to stay here after dark. He checked most of the street, and none of the people lying down was Grandpa Yasuo.

There was only the second half of the street left, and Qiu, who was already a little dizzy from exhaustion, took a deep breath and raised his spirits to continue searching.

At this moment, he heard small footsteps behind him.The voice came from behind him, around the corner between the two houses.

Qiu Ya, who didn't have time to think carefully, immediately turned around and threw the vine in her hand to the ornamental tree next to her.

"Extraordinary ability - spring flowers fall in autumn."

The vines that fell on the soil grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, but stopped before they grew too long.Because the caster's wrist was caught, the power disappeared.

Qiu Ye, who was still very nervous just now, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, and called the other person by name: "Dazai..."

The author has something to say: In the original setting outline, the plant research institute where Qiuya works researches the ability to control plant attacks, but it is not legal research, so it is called a plant research institute .The children who are the subjects of the study are named according to the four seasons: "spring, summer, autumn and winter".The two children mentioned by the male researcher were born in spring: "Haruya", who died immediately after the intravenous injection of supernatural powers.On behalf of those born in summer: "Summer tree", there is no reaction after intravenous injection.After that, it represents the birth in autumn: "Qiu Ye".There is also one that represents winter birth: "Dongtai".The luckiest one is Dongta, because before his injection, the male researcher died in a car accident when he planned to take Qiuya to throw him away, so the experiment was put on hold.

I feel that it is impossible to write these words directly in the text. After all, it is impossible for him to know such details from Qiu Ye's main perspective, so I just point it out here.

The matter of the other notebook may be seen, but it is explained in detail in Volume [-]. (Volume [-] is when Dazai was still in Hong Kong). Volume [-] will cover the story of Dazai’s underground organization for two years after he left, but the original work did not elaborate, so another anime will be integrated there.
