COSER, I became the leader of despair

If the "vampire" is described from the timeline, with Yokohama as the base point, it can be roughly divided into the following contents.

Eight years ago, the senior general Fukuji Sakurachi went to Northern Europe to prevent the outbreak of blood-sucking infection led by the supernatural person "Bram Stoker" (that is, Nordic Earl, Vampire Grand Duke). People claimed that Fukuji Sakurachi killed This ability user completely cut off the reproduction of vampires caused by the ability.

Six years ago, a remnant of Nordic vampires traveled across the ocean to Yokohama.He was rescued by the Yuan family couple, but someone spread the news in the market that "the Yuan family hides a substance that can make people live forever", so the Yuan family couple who wanted to secretly develop life-extending medicines were sent to the small family who run a religion. The Hayata couple were killed, but the Kobayata couple were also killed by the next pursuers.The daughter of the Minamoto family and the son of the Kobayata family became orphans.The vampire hiding in Yuanjia also disappeared without a trace.

In recent years, some vampires have often broken away from the order of the Tokyo Vampire Committee (the vampire organization known as the Senate) and sneaked to Yokohama, where they were all wiped out.

A few days ago, "I witnessed a vampire hunter in Tokyo kill a vampire in the alley of Red Pomegranate Street. That is the lowest level Level E who escaped here from Tokyo."

Fukuzawa Yukichi turned his head and asked Dazai Shijianzi what the level meant.

"The vampires in our country have strict levels. The highest is A, that is, pure blood, and the second is from B to E. Level E is often a vampire transformed from a human being."

Fukuzawa Yukichi understood, and just as he was about to nod his head, he saw the half-smile look in his former junior brother's eyes.

"Senior brother is really getting better and better."

Fukuzawa Yukichi decided not to argue with this teasing "junior brother" on such matters.

"Didn't the vampire count be killed by Mr. Fukuchi? Why did a vampire come to Yokohama from northern Europe six years ago? Is it a mistake?" Because he really couldn't understand, Junichiro Tanizaki whispered asked.

"Is it possible that the vampire wasn't actually transformed into a vampire by that supernatural being?"

"If that's the case, it's okay, but the record at that time did indeed say that it was a human being transformed by the Nordic count. If you don't believe it, you can ask our supernatural Dazai-kun. That copy What is written in the report, I believe no one at the scene knows better than him."

Dazai's eyes flickered.

"Oh, I'd be ashamed to compliment me like that."

Not so.

"But Mr. Mori knows even this. It seems that you are doing well in this world."

Xi Jianzi is of course nonsense.

She had no idea what the report was, she just heard about it.If this kind of thing is not reported, it is simply passive sabotage, and Ayatsuji pedestrians have received information from Osamu Dazai before, and the man in front of him must have been exposed to these contents when he was a mafia.

Although this is just speculation, Xi Jianzi still has a lot of confidence.Who made Dazai an almost "omnipotent" existence in this world.

"Don't dare." Xi Jianzi acted very modestly, but this must be the truth.No matter how you think about things like smooth sailing, it doesn't happen to her. Since she came to Yokohama, her safety index and happiness index have dropped in a straight line, and will soon fall below zero.

She also wants to be a slightly happier person.

"I'm just a poor person struggling back and forth on the boundaries of life. It's poor to say the least." Although the card belonging to Mori Ogai in her hand has not been stopped, she can no longer use that dangerous item no matter what she thinks. up.

Xi Jianzi heard the distrustful snort from the female doctor.

"So, the vampire's arrival six years ago was very suspicious, and its disappearance was also very suspicious."

"Then, my child—please don't look at the boy behind me with such eyes. The child I mentioned is not here. If you want to see him, I will let him come." When "my child" When it was said, the eyes of all the people present almost fell on that certain white body in the shadow, but Xi Jianzi denied it.

"That child said..." Xi Jianzi dragged his tone, deliberately wanting to see how others were waiting for him to speak.When the feeling of strangeness was at its peak, she continued: "Four nights ago, he was besieged by vampires. They were all a group of irrational creatures with simple language functions."

"evidence."

"Sorry - a vampire is a creature that disappears if you kill it."

"If there is no evidence, we can treat you as a fictional story." Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses, and he said very sternly.He has always been a serious person, and no matter who he faces, his attitude can't find any faults.

"Then I have nothing to do, so whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Invited into this meeting room by Zhuangzhuang (already considered solemn), but he said words that made it impossible to judge the truth, coupled with his face and the unbelievable "there are two me in the world" Vague rhetoric is really hard to believe.

"Then please think about it on the premise that [this is true], the Nordic blood-sucking species that crossed the ocean to Yokohama and escaped later, the sudden appearance of a large number of blood-sucking species seems to be attracted by something A vampire who escaped supervision here..."

"What is hidden in Yokohama that fascinates them?"

"for example……"

The smile that belonged to a man got bigger and bigger.

"—Pure blood of vampires, the king of vampires."

"Is there a possibility that Bram Stoker didn't die at all?"

"Are you doubting Fukuchi?" Fukuzawa Yukichi's steely voice sank to the ground, "He is not such a person."

"Like me, he used to be loyal to the conquest, and he is still contributing to the country now. Whether it was the time in Northern Europe—"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was interrupted.

"Brother, you believe in your comrade-in-arms more than you believe in me..." Xi Jianzi said sadly: "It turns out that the friendship between us is nothing."

She stood up abruptly, a shadow covering her face.From Yosano Akiko's point of view, this man had no intention of making a deal at all. He first said a lot of nonsense, and then left if he disagreed.

The white child hiding in the darkness followed Shi Jianzi's footsteps.

The same is true for spring mirror flowers.Her ability to hide her breath is stronger than anyone present.

At this time, Tanizaki Junichiro wished that Mr. Ranpo was here, but unfortunately, the famous detective was kidnapped by a few bags of limited candy and sent to Kyoto to solve the commission.

Dazai Osamu's voice sounded lightly, Kunikida thought he was going to say something to disgust "Mr. Mori", but this time Dazai Osamu's target was not Shimiko.

"Dun Jun, do you know that you are dead?"

There was a dead silence.

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback first, and just wanted to explain that he was still alive and well, how could he be considered dead?He also wanted to say Mr. Dazai, if you don't believe me, just punch me in the face to see if I'm real.But just when he was about to perform these actions, a feeling of panic made him realize how stupid he was.The man who turned his head and the white boy who turned his head both had the same feeling on their faces.

"Dead" feeling.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Xi Jianzi looked at Dazai Osamu, at that beautiful man's face.Kunikida felt that what Dazai said was too much, he hurriedly scolded, but his scolding didn't have much effect, Dazai didn't intend to take back his previous words at all.Kunikida looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi as if asking for help, but the president just stood up.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at his "junior brother" and at "Mori Ogai".

Dun's upper and lower lips clicked.

"Ok, I know."

[Will you protect me] can be followed by "Well, I know".

The next sentence of [this is an agreement between us] can be "Well, I know".

The answer to the next sentence of [Does Dunjun know that he is dead] can also be "Well, I know".

The dead should have withdrawn from the world of the living long ago, instead of continuing to live in the name of others.

will be hated.

It will cause trouble.

...no one will remember them at all.

Xi Jianzi put his hand on the back of Dun's head, and he forced the other side to turn his head.

So does she.

Although she knew that such a day would come, she still didn't want the other party to know that she was "dead".Death is such a terrible existence.The doctor once said that Shi Jianzi was very lucky, and she was the luckiest person among all the gods.Everyone else died, all because of the attack before the incarnation of Yuzao, only Shi Jianzi survived, only paying the price of one leg.And later, the leg was healed.

It is for this reason that Xi Jianzi understands the meaning of "death" very clearly, and is extremely afraid of his own death.Whenever she thinks that many people will die because of herself, she will be so frightened that she can't eat or sleep.But in the eyes of outsiders, she is fearless.

"..."

Dun felt something was wrong with his ears.He heard a sentence from an adult.

In fact, Atsushi Nakajima heard it too.

Xi Jianzi said, "Live on."

Just like Togada told Agni to "live", Shi Jianzi said "live" to Atsushi.

Don't think about the fact that you are dead, like me (morin Taro), think that you are still alive, and you are still a living person.

That cruel emotion floated in the air, and no one could make a sound.The heavy feeling that someone put pickle stones on their foreheads.

In the pair of eyes with yellow light, and the pair of eyes that hide sadness, they fall into the "irrationality" and "compassion" that belong to adults.

Countless promises.

Countless agreements.

protect me.

I am weak.

This is the convention.

It's agreed.

live.

"Xiao Dun, live on."

Xi Jianzi suddenly remembered that until now, she had never called Dun's name once, and she had never called him by his name in front of the other party.

Not once.

Not once.

This is the first time.And it's in public.

The answer is...

What is the answer?

Atsushi Nakajima only heard "Yes, I know." It was the same sentence that answered Mr. Dazai.

So the dark three left.

Miyazawa Kenji asked: "Atsushi, what are they talking about?"

At this time, Nakajima Atsushi was grasped by a cruel emotion, and he could hardly speak with a normal speed and tone.He didn't know how he had said those words, he couldn't remember saying them.

"Dun, live on" and "Well, I see".

What a terrifying word that is.

Osamu Dazai sat back on the chair, there was no light in his iris eyes.

Resurrection from the dead, this is not something that should exist.

The duration of magic, even in the hands of children, is only a short time.

****

Ayatsuji pedestrians met Matsuda Tachibana and his mother who had returned from the dead on the road.Matsuda Mikiko took the child to the supermarket to buy something like a normal person, but Matsuda Tachibana's eyes told Ayatsuji: He has no way to stop his mother from coming to the street.

It was a coincidence that Ayatsuji pedestrians would meet Matsuda Mikiko.At this time, he just happened to complete a commission - gratifyingly, no criminals died during the settlement process, thanks to Tsujimura Fukatsuki who prevented the other party's "trial" in advance.

After Ayatsuji pedestrians satirized the female agent twice as usual, the two walked towards the office one after the other.

Ayatsuji pedestrians met Matsuda Mikiko on the way. The other party recognized him at a glance and greeted him very warmly.This made him a little overwhelmed.

Tsujimura felt that this was really shocking, and it was incredible that Detective Ayatsuji, who was usually aloof and arrogant, would have such an expression.She originally wanted to smile secretly, but Tsujimura Mizuki withdrew that expression due to her willpower as a female agent and the cold eyes that belonged to a detective.

Oops... I was almost caught and ridiculed.

Matsuda Mikiko had a smile on her face, "Is this also the teacher of Pingyong Elementary School?" Matsuda Tachibana studied in Pyongyang Primary School, and Ayatsuji Kintoshi used to call himself Matsuda Tachibana's teacher.

"Eh-oh, that's right, Ms. Matsuda. I'm Tsujimura."

Ayatsuji pedestrians looked away.

Matsuda Mikiko smiled brightly, "I'm really glad to meet Xiaoju's two teachers on the road," Matsuda Tachibana seemed to want to pull his mother away, but Mikiko grabbed his hand , and said with a smile, "Why is this kid so shy of strangers?"

Tsujimura Fukatsuki looked at the "resurrected" woman in front of her with some wariness.She didn't believe it when she heard it before, but she didn't expect that the other party really came back.But she had also contacted the funeral home, and Matsuda Mikiko's body had indeed been cremated, leaving only the handful of ashes.

But "Mikiko Matsuda" was indeed standing in front of them, no different from a living person.At first, Tsujimura thought that the Matsuda Mikiko in front of him was pretended by someone else, but can the pretender really make no mistakes?Even Matsuda Tachibana was very sure that "this is my mother".

Will the child recognize his mother?

Tsujimura Fukatsuki still remembers the other party's crying expression, as if he was left in place by people all over the world.

Because the road was really embarrassing, Matsuda Mikiko, who wanted to chat more, proposed to sit in a coffee shop.

"I know a very remote coffee shop with good reviews." The other party recommended.

It was a coffee shop on the corner at the end of the street, just away from a row of utility poles.The scene of the store is very small, there are only three tables inside, and then there is a long board like a bar counter.

The price list is very friendly.

Matsuda Mikiko took a look and found that both tables were empty.

They chose the one by the window, and Mikiko Matsuda warmly treated them.

"Hear me out……"

While she was babbling about the children, another group of guests arrived.As they passed her, Matsuda Mikiko subconsciously turned her head.

It was a tenuous connection, as if they were connected by a thin thread.

The length and thickness of life collapsed in an instant.

"Listen to me." That beautiful, young and lively face suddenly lost its color, and her topic often started with "you tell me", but this time, there was no more content.

A terrifying paleness slowly climbed onto her face, it was the color of death.

listen to me.

……listen to me.

The eyes belonging to Mikiko Matsuda are not bright at all, they are dim, like a piece of the moon's surface that has lost the light of the sun.

"Listen to me—" There was a rough and suppressed voice in her throat, it didn't sound like a human voice, but like a beast's voice.

What a painful speech.

listen to me.

"I am already dead."

Matsuda Tachibana raised his head abruptly, and fear and disbelief gushed out of those eyes that belonged to children like a spring.

"Mom, mom!" The shrill voice belonged to a child, and the harsh sound of the chair's legs being pulled on the ground.

The group of guests who had just arrived here turned their heads.It was like a combination of father and child, a middle-aged man, a boy, and a girl younger than the boy.

They all had the same pale expression on their faces.

Matsuda Mikiko, under surveillance, turned into a pile of shiny powder.

As a dead person, she completely disappeared from the world.

Xi Jianzi's eyes were wide open, and the whole process of the woman's disappearance was reflected in the purple eyes.

That woman is the same person as Atsushi and Denji.

The dead will die again.

in this way.

Xi Jianzi sat down at the table, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw that the assistant lady who had a close relationship with her immediately began to appease the people at the scene.

Don asked, "How did this happen?"

Quan Jinghua has been silent since just now, like a wooden stake.But the difference between her and the stake is that the stake will not move, but she will.She was already the most out of place in this combination, because she didn't know the orders of the two people in front of her.However, she thinks they might be friends.

...they are all outcasts.

Shi Jianzi looked at the menu again.But at this time, no one is willing to order for them.

#Housewife disappears strangely in public#

#迷入的女孩并已经死了一个月前那些死亡#

#Whether our city is being invaded by unknown forces#

Focusing on the disappearance of Matsuda Mikiko, panic began to flow out of Yokohama.

The dead will rise.

The resurrected dead will dissipate like smoke.

On the third day after such reports circulated, Shi Jianzi received another invitation from the Armed Detective Agency.

With the same characters as before, she stepped into the meeting room of the detective agency for the second time.

Osamu Dazai apologized with his head held down.

Although he doesn't seem to have much sincerity.

Hatred doesn't go away.

He hated Mori Ogai, no matter which one.

Xi Jianzi thought that she might be defined by the group of people in front of her as a person who came back from the dead like Matsuda Mikiko, and they might be worried that she would die before she could play a role.

"It's a sad story of mistrust."

Still made a plan according to the vampire mentioned earlier, and Xi Jianzi only acted as an informant.This made her very satisfied.To be honest, if she was really asked to do something, there was probably nothing she could do.After all, she is just a teenage child, without a bright brain, only this talent told by the doctor.

Their next new residence has also been settled, which is in the empty floor above this office.In other words, Xi Jianzi has an entire balcony.

Having lived in the basement and the staff dormitory, she felt very relieved for a moment.

In the evening, an unexpected visitor came to visit.It was "Atsushi Nakajima", a member of the detective agency, who was almost identical in appearance.

"Hello!" Dun said hello and bowed deeply the first time he met Xi Jianzi.After the man said "Okay, okay", Duncai raised his head, and he was embarrassed to see the kind smile on the other side's face.

(Kind of like grandpa.)

"Do you want to ask me something?"

"If it's something I know, I'll tell you everything without concealing it."

Facing this man whose attitude was completely different from before, Atsushi Nakajima was a little unsure whether he should trust him or not.But the president said that there is no problem... Thinking of this, Atsushi Nakajima's confidence has increased a lot.

The reason Atsushi Nakajima wanted to come here was to ask about another him, and another "Mr. Mori".

"As for me, my last job was the director of an orphanage."

"Replace those thorn-like doors, and replace all the chains and iron windows with colorful items that won't hurt children."

"Dun Jun, your dean, it is wrong to use fear to control you."

Atsushi Nakajima was startled.He obviously didn't say anything, but the other party mentioned his unbearable past.

"I... I!" He deflated all of a sudden, like a poor balloon.His messy past, his dark past in the orphanage... It was because he was kicked out by the director of the orphanage that Atsushi Nakajima met everyone in the detective agency today.

The white boy hides in the darkness.

He remembered something.

Thinking of the face of the fallen man that had once flashed through his mind.
