lucky probability

the next day.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka opened the door, and saw two people standing in front of his door.Meeting his gaze, Osamu Dazai smiled brightly, and Nagito Komaeda felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, rubbed the dirt on the side of his shoes, and then greeted him with some embarrassment: "Good morning, Aya Mr. Xiaolu."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

Osamu Dazai showed an interesting smile, and with accommodating like an elder coaxing a child, he said softly: "Ayanokoji-kun, won't you invite us in?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

Let's not mention how they found their place - he obviously changed his place yesterday, but he opened the door early in the morning to see these two people, which is a bit scary.

However, Ling Xiaolu's face was paralyzed and expressionless, so it was impossible for others to know what he was complaining about.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaolu moved away. Since these two people have already found this place, it is meaningless to stop him. He does not do meaningless things, and he is also slightly curious about the bond between these two people .

It's a feeling that you can't help being curious when you don't have it yourself.

Dazai Osamu and Komaeda Nagito stepped in. This is a very ordinary single apartment, with ordinary items and furnishings, there is no other problem except that it is too empty.

Osamu Dazai was not at all uncomfortable about stepping into other people's rooms, he took a bottle of milk from the small refrigerator, sat on the single sofa, and called Komaeda to sit with him, and the latter cooperated with him to occupy Ayanokouji's temporary foothold.

Some time ago, the three of them sat together in such a superficially intimate way. Dazai-kun and Komaeda-kun were really close, but not necessarily so with himself.

Ayanokōji watched Dazai Osamu enter the room with cold eyes, leaned against the door with half of his body, and did not speak.

When Osamu Dazai raised his head, he saw Ayanokouji-kun with a cold light in his eyes. After a little thought, he understood what Ayanokouji was concerned about. He couldn't help laughing, and said directly: "Ayanokouji-kun, the bond is through Getting along with each other is produced slowly, not overnight."

For Osamu Dazai, the fetter is also very strange. Since Oda Sakunosuke did not die, and he went through a trip to clean up the city with Komaeda Nagito Academy, he gradually understood its meaning, but it was once. It would be difficult for him to describe things with his lips and tongue.

—— Osamu Dazai is not a person who can be sensational, and it is not easy for him to say this.

So he kept his mouth shut.

On the other hand, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, his theory is far richer than others, so he is no stranger to the word "bond". His words are more than those who came to explain and teach him: "This world is made up of human beings, and the relationship between people There will be various connections between people, deep connections can be called "bonds", one person cannot live alone, only two people, or more, can live a good life, this is human spiritual needs."

"Everyone needs companions."

Only he doesn't need it, this is not some bragging words, but a fact, because everything in the past tells him: what he thinks, what he does, he has to rely on his own calculations, concealment and deception to get what he wants .As for the bond or emotion, it is an existence called Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who does not need it.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka thought this in his heart, but said on his mouth: "So I also need it, and I need to make friends, such as you."

Osamu Dazai sneered and interrupted him: "No, you don't need it."

"How disgusting, hypocritical, condescending, talking about longing for new friends, wanting to understand worldly emotions, but arrogantly denying everything in your heart, you feel deep down that you don't need it."

"I said I needed it, just because I wanted to make myself appear less incompatible with secular ethics."

"Am I right? Ayanokouji-kun."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "..."

Once again Dazai-kun is keenly aware of his true thoughts. What a terrifying and exciting thing this is. He really doesn’t need it, but the education in WhiteRoom taught him that it doesn’t matter what he thinks in his heart. , but what is shown must be something that conforms to the "public opinion", whether it is emotion or tone.

But I can't go on anymore, these two people are too "high-profile" and "smart", the closeness of the two of them runs counter to my pursuit of "ordinary" and "daily" life, only half a month of contact, These two people would be able to guess his past based on the minutiae, which he didn't allow.

WhiteRoom is the past he doesn't want to be explored.

Best buried in his own memory, from the moment he fled.

Komaeda Nagito stared at him for a long time, and asked sharply: "Are you thinking about how to get rid of us?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokōji blinked his eyes, these two people are the two most sensitive people he has ever seen in his life, Dazai Osamu has the ability to read people's hearts, and Komaeda Nagito, somehow, when facing him, there is always a kind of He couldn't hide his feeling, but if he paid attention everywhere, it seemed to be an illusion.

Nagito Komaeda observed his expression—God knows how Komaeda could see the expression from Ayanokouji's frozen facial muscles, and felt that he couldn't let it go any further. Fortunately, he knew a weakness of the other party. If one speaks out, one will be compromised.

"Ayanokouji-kun, don't you think that life like this is freedom?"

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's eyes changed.

If his line of sight was just a pool of stagnant water before, but now, it has become a pool of burning stagnant water.

The difference was that his eyes burned.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's aura became different, and his oppressiveness increased sharply.

His obsession is freedom and equality. The pursuit of freedom is very important, second only to the meaning of equality. That's why Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was seen for the first time with a clear change in his face. He had boundless indifference and originally inorganic eyes It was dyed with a cold color, which made people have no doubt that if Komaeda Nagito couldn't give the correct answer, he would directly explode, and use absolute force to teach this rambunctious person an unforgettable lesson.

However, Nagito Komaeda was unmoved, he smiled and even looked directly at the other party: "Am I wrong?"

"Hiding away from the father who will appear at any time, arresting yourself, has no fixed address, your father—forgive me, before we come to meet you, check your father, that person owns the current you Unrivaled power, if he is determined to find you, even if you hide in the sky, you will be found."

"Are you still free after being captured? Ayanokouji-kun, you don't need me to tell you that you understand that with such a timed bomb/bomb, are you free?"

"Because of a commission, we found you. You must know that your father just didn't want to expose your existence, so he found our detective agency in a low-key manner, and we just happened to accept the commission."

"But now we have given up the entrustment, so our positions are not opposed."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka: "Whether the position is unified or not determines the closeness and distance between human beings." He asked slowly, "Are you saying this to get something from me?"

"why?"

Komaeda Nagito smiled: "I don't want to get anything. Objectively speaking, I don't want this commission to end without a problem, but subjectively speaking, I just heard a cry for help from a person immersed in despair and pain, even if this person I didn't notice it myself."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Sartre said that people are born to suffer from freedom. Freedom is the freedom to choose, and people are social animals, so people will inevitably choose to understand, choose to go It is human nature to love those around us.”

"People cannot escape the fate of choice, I just choose to escape, and the freedom I pursue is the freedom of the ego, not the freedom of great love."

Nagito Komaeda agrees: "We are all ego, and only when the ego is satisfied will we consider other things. This is not a conflict."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was silent again for a long time, before saying: "Okay, you convinced me."

WhiteRoom has had a profound impact on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. From his childhood until he grew up as a teenager, all his memories are only white rooms, with no expressions in the room, people who put forward various requirements and assessments, and , everything that comes into contact with from books, everything outside.

It is hard to say now whether his choice to escape from White Room was based on long-term rationality or the occasional flash of emotion that supported his decision to escape.

In fact, all curiosity about the outside world died the moment he stepped into the "worldly world", because he couldn't judge his own feelings at all, whether it was empathy, sympathy, or the various emotions that ordinary people flooded. He doesn't have any emotions, so it is not difficult to understand that there is no wave in his heart.

However, after escaping from WhiteRoom, he has to work hard to adapt to everything in the outside world, which is novel, hateful, and disturbing. This kind of painful experience is what he got by voluntarily escaping from there. People who have never tasted freedom, Just like a white dove whose eyes were covered, it hit the transparent glass the first time it gained sight.

Even though his body has escaped from WhiteRoom and he is "free", his spirit still bears the brand of WhiteRoom, just like a tagged commodity, which is conspicuous enough to shine in the eyes of those who care.

Although Komaeda Nagito's words are straightforward, the truth is the same.

Komaeda-kun doesn't know the existence of WhiteRoom, but his father is equivalent to WhiteRoom, a flying bird that has tasted freedom, and will not be willing to fly back to the cage and put on shackles.

No matter where he went, his lord father would catch him back, return to White Room, and accept those trainings that didn't feel painful before, but actually "should" be painful.

He didn't want to, and started to fight against it.

Dazai Osamu and Komaeda Nagito, who came to the door, are two excellent assistants. They will be very easy to use. When they have the same standpoint, they will achieve the same interests.

Although he is a standard escapist, but in order to achieve true freedom in the future, he is willing to include everyone in his calculations, concealment and deception until he breaks the cage and embraces the fresh and vast blue sky.

Ordinary people are ignorant and stupid. They can't distinguish between the mediocre ordinary and the pretended ordinary, but this is just right for Ayanokōji Kiyotaka's survival rules. He has already done the first step. The second step is to really get rid of WhiteRoom, and this step , requires long-term planning.

Thinking of this, Ayanokōji unconsciously landed on Dazai Osamu and Komaeda Nagito.

He looked at the two assistants who had returned to their normal appearance after speaking seriously, and started to play around, and secretly came to a conclusion: it might not take that long.

Academy City, the director's office.

After Accelerator processed the documents to be approved today, he stretched a long waist, and made a "beck, beak, beep" sound from his shoulders.

While rubbing his waist, he walked to the depths of the office, where there was a small lounge, and the last work was sitting there with a strawberry pillow in his arms, muttering, not knowing what he was doing.

He has been sitting there since he started working on the file, he knew it was communicating with other Misaka sisters using the Misaka network, and he didn't bother him, but until he was done with work, the last work was still communicating, which made him a little uncomfortable Pleased.

Why isn't it over yet?

Hearing the sound of Accelerator approaching, the last work stopped communicating with the younger sisters, and said to him with shining eyes: "I heard Yuriko's footsteps, and I knew that Yuriko was busy with today's work. Misaka Misaka felt that she was very tired." Witty, wants to ask for praise."

Accelerator smiled in the corner of his eyes, and praised indulgently: "The last work is the most intimate." Then he changed the subject and mentioned something else, "What are you talking about with your sisters?"

Accelerator, who frightened the enemies in the outside world, has a different appearance in front of the last work, with a casual smile, the appearance that strangers should not enter, but the last work will not be deceived by his appearance, Throwing down the pillow all at once, jumping off the sofa, and was about to hug him.

Accelerator hugged the small and exquisite last work contentedly, and only then did he think about asking her what she was discussing with her sisters.

Hearing his question, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Yuriko, my sisters just found out some news about Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Misaka Misaka whispered excitedly. "

"?" Accelerator frowned, and after a moment of reaction, he realized that the Ayanokouji mentioned in the last work was the person Dazai Osamu asked him to investigate. He asked, "What did the sisters find?"

"Ayanokōji Kiyotaka just escaped from a place called White Room. Misaka Misaka confirmed."
