Happy death in the reincarnation world

Where is Dazai?You won't run out alone again, will you?

No, not possible.

Since they made an agreement yesterday, Osamu Dazai will definitely abide by it.

That being the case, why did Osamu Dazai, who was supposed to be sleeping next to him, suddenly disappear?

A bold idea popped up in Nakahara Chuya's mind - no, Dazai is still in his room, right?

Now that you think of it, let's go directly to verify it.Anyway, waiting here is not a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yuanzhong got out of bed and opened the door without hesitation.

In the corridor, apart from the footsteps of Zhongya Zhongyuan, there was only the "creaking" sound of the dim chandelier, and the whole hotel was as quiet as if he was the only one left.

Nakahara Chuya stood still in front of the door of Osamu Dazai's room, took a deep breath, put his hand on the door, and started gravity.In order not to be noticed by others, Zhongyuan Zhong also did not directly brute force the door, but carefully operated the gravity, trying to open the door lock from the inside.

Since the door lock of the room was an old-fashioned latch, which didn't have much technical content, Zhong Yuanzhong easily opened the door.Sure enough, Osamu Dazai was still lying on the bed and fell asleep.

Zhong Yuanzhong also breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart became more and more confused.

Could it be that Dazai sneaked back to his room to sleep in the middle of the night?

Without further ado, he stepped forward, grabbed Dazai's collar with his left and right hands and shook them together: "Dazai, wake up!"

Since Osamu Dazai once told him that he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed last night, Nakahara Nakahara also used great strength to prevent the same situation from happening.After a few clicks, Osamu Dazai opened his eyes with a painful face, and said weakly: "Don't shake me, I'm dizzy..."

"Isn't he waking up quickly!" Nakahara Chuya raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to praise himself for his superb waking skills in his heart, when Dazai Osamu said helplessly: "The things that make you fall into a coma have little effect on me. At best, I will sleep a little more soundly than usual at night, and there is no problem of waking up."

Nakahara Chuya let go of Dazai Osamu's collar awkwardly: "...Oh."

Osamu Dazai heaved a sigh of relief, adjusted his clothes with both hands, but his eyes froze in place the moment he caught a glimpse of the interior decoration inadvertently: "Is this my room?"

"Yes."

"...you sent me back?"

"I'm stupid to be so troublesome." Zhong Yuan crossed his arms, looked around the room, and said: "When I woke up, you were no longer in my room. I thought it was strange, so I came to your room Looking for you, sure enough you are here."

Listening to Nakahara Chuya's narration, Osamu Dazai frowned tightly.

With the protection of [Disqualification in the World], he will not fall into a coma like Zhongye and the others, which means that if someone sneaks into Zhongye's room in the middle of the night and wants to take him away, it is completely unfeasible. It was noticed by Osamu Dazai.

Besides, there was no point in going to Chuya's room to bring him back.

If he went back by himself, it would be even more impossible.Osamu Dazai can be sure that he does not have any symptoms of sleepwalking, and it is even more impossible for someone to use his ability to manipulate his body to make him return to the room.

After all, it didn't make sense to do so in the first place.

Then, there is only one answer - he fell asleep alone from the beginning yesterday.

However, his memory clearly told him that he was indeed with Zhong Ye last night... Wait, the dream... so it was like this!I see!

Now, he just needs to prove one thing...

"What do you understand?" Seeing Osamu Dazai pondering for a while, he suddenly looked enlightened, Zhongyuan Zhong also understood that he had probably analyzed everything in detail.

"You said, could all this be—a dream?"

"You mean we're dreaming right now?"

"No." Osamu Dazai shook his head: "I mean, everything we experienced during the day was just a dream."

"An online dungeon made up of dreams..." Zhongyuan Zhong also muttered to himself, but he thought of something and asked: "If it is a dream during the day, then how to explain the food we eat? Eat in a dream You shouldn’t feel full after eating something, right?”

"So I'm just guessing. What we need most now is evidence." Osamu Dazai said, "But if it's a dream, then it can also explain why the ordinary method of leaving the town fails."

No matter how you leave in the dream, the sex still exists in the town, which has no meaning at all.

"Then why can't it be a dream now?"

"It's very simple." Osamu Dazai raised his finger: "First point, it was mentioned in the newspaper that the town is shrouded in fog, but there is no trace of fog during the day, but it is shrouded in fog at night. The second point is the abnormal flowering period of wisteria. If it is a dream, the different plant growth cycle is not a big problem. The third point is that the building that suddenly disappears, as you said, if it is dreamed by countless people during the day It is a piece of cake to erase a building that is not willing to be placed in a dream."

"The fourth point is the fact that I appeared in my room. If everything is a dream, then I already have this memory of entering your room before falling into the dream, so even if it is a dream, I should be in your room." It’s right to wake up on the side. Unless, everything during the day is a dream, so no matter what we do, the body will still stay in the original room and will not change according to our will.”

"Could it be that this is also a dream?" Zhong Yuanzhong also came up with a brand new guess: "We fell asleep in one dream and entered another dream, just like Inception."

"I can't send out this possibility, but I don't think it's very likely." Osamu Dazai said, "I can't explain it just because I appeared in my room. And if it is really from one dream to another Dreamland, judging from the current situation, this approach will not make people feel strongly subjective. Do you remember the man named Jack in the bar? He said that as long as you are here, all good things will be automatically sent to you. And all of this stems from the protection of the god they believe in." Osamu Dazai still remembered the conversation with Wei Na that Nakahara also mentioned, and deliberately avoided the name "Yordle".

"At that time, I wondered why they thought so. They were so extravagant, without any trace of labor. Where did the capital come from so profligate? Now that I think about it, if everything during the day is a dream, then it doesn't mean that you can get what you want. What?"

"But there is no tobacco in the dream." Zhong Yuanzhong also added: "If the day is a dream, then the cigarettes I carry should also be produced in dreams. If so, they can also use dreams to make cigarettes." Is it possible? Can this dream be achieved by banning cigarettes alone?

Good guy, this god is still an anti-smoking ambassador.

"So, you say, is this dream a semi-real state?"

"Half real?"

"That's right. Everything in the dream is based on the small town. What exists in the small town can only exist in the dream. Although we are in a dream, all the materials we see are real, such as food, wine, etc. The town can produce itself, so it exists in the dream. But tobacco cannot be produced, so it cannot appear in the dream.”

"But who will grow these foods? Everyone is sleeping during the day." Zhong Yuanzhong also glanced at his mouth: "Don't let that god grow it."

It's too miserable to be a god. During the day, he works hard to create dreams, and at night, he works hard to grow food.

"That's why I'm going to church." Osamu Dazai said, "Everything now is just based on speculation, and the evidence is not sufficient."

"Then don't stand still, act quickly!"

"Don't worry." Osamu Dazai pulled Chuya Nakahara, who was about to run away in a hurry, and said, "Try to perceive again, and see if you can detect anything."

"Almost forgot about this."

Zhong Yuanzhong also smiled awkwardly, closed his eyes and settled down, and his perception quickly spread to the surroundings.

After a while, he opened his eyes suddenly: "Damn, what are these things!"

"what happened?"

"Just..." Zhongyuan Zhong didn't know how to explain it: "I saw a lot of 'silk threads', all in groups, all over the town!"

"Silk thread?" If I remember correctly, it was the form of perception of power that Nakaya saw.

"What the hell is that?" Nakahara Chuya's face became very ugly, recalling the area and shape of the "silk thread" in his mind, and a bold guess suddenly appeared in his heart: "It can't be...the fog?"

There was a brief silence in the air, and after a long time, Osamu Dazai said, "Apart from this, did you find anything else?"

"It can be judged that there are only two of us in the hotel. No one else should have gone out. As for the others..." Zhong Yuanzhong also shook his head: "This energy is too much, and other energies are mixed in. Can't find it at all."

"Forget it." Osamu Dazai sighed, "One step at a time is counted."

The biggest advantage of walking with Osamu Dazai is that he doesn't have to worry about the strange fog. For this reason, he had to hold Osamu Dazai's hand tightly the whole time, not daring to let go for a moment.

"You haven't seen the 'silk thread'." Zhong Yuan couldn't help complaining as he walked: "It's sticky and entangled, like thousands of tiny tentacles growing, it's disgusting. And it’s everywhere, and it’s like it’s going to get inside me if I breathe.”

"You have to hold my hand tightly and not let go." Osamu Dazai curled the corner of his mouth.If it weren't for the strange environment the two of them were in, they would have looked like a couple who went out for a walk at night, holding hands sticky and sweet.

The two went to Wei Na's house by the way, but Wei Na's house was closed and no one was at home.

Helpless, the two could only give up the goal of Wei Na temporarily, and continued to walk towards the church that Osamu Dazai said.

A few scattered street lamps on the street bring some light to the dark night. In contrast, the orange light in the distance is not very dazzling, but it seems to be full of endless magic, which makes people feel at ease involuntarily. want to be close.

On the empty street, only the footsteps of Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya echoed.

"By the way, Dazai." Probably because he felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, Nakahara couldn't help but find a topic, trying to alleviate the overly silent atmosphere: "Speaking of which, you should have woken up early last night, right? Then you Have you seen anyone else?"

"Not really." Osamu Dazai shook his head: "I suspect that the time we woke up last night was all arranged, and there can be a time difference so that we can disperse."

"It won't be the same today..." Zhong Yuanzhong also muttered, and was struggling with the other party's purpose, when there was a loud noise not far away.

It seems...someone is fighting!

The two looked at each other, and ran towards the source of the noise without hesitation.

Sakura Kyoko blocked the continuous attacks from the opposite side with a flick.The hand that was holding the gun was a little tighter, and she let out a "tsk" impatiently.

In front of her eyes, there were a group of paper figures cut out by kindergarten children after painting with crayons. They had human-shaped postures and strange colors, which made people shudder.

"Why, why are they here..."

This group of "monsters" who suddenly appeared from the fog and attacked it, even though she was unwilling to accept it in every possible way, Sakura Kyoko still had to admit that she knew them.

A monster, or rather, a familiar.

It came from a memory that was the softest in her heart and the least willing to recall.

Born out of the destruction of her best friend—the familiar of the mermaid witch.

"Isn't this a dungeon? Why on earth are these guys appearing!" The pen in Sakura Kyoko's hand suddenly split from the middle, and quickly changed into a multi-knotted whip mode.She was obviously a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, but her attacks were quite sharp. The knotted whip was dancing vigorously in her hands, and the sharp spear tip cut through the familiar's body.

Surrounded by many layers, none of the familiars could approach her even half a step.

If her former partner saw this battle, she would be surprised to find that Sakura Kyoko's strength has increased several times compared to the past, and her strikes have become more sophisticated and decisive.

"Having these familiars doesn't mean... Sayaka is here too..." Sakura Kyoko panted heavily, while being careful to guard against familiars who might attack again at any time, she couldn't help but say to herself Soliloquy.

Sakura Kyoko's memories should have ended in a miserable battle.In order to save her best friend Sayaka who had endured countless curses and turned into a mermaid witch in grief and despair, she exhausted all her strength and finally chose to die with her best friend——she thought so.But when she woke up again, she actually appeared in a completely strange world, and the text messages that kept appearing on her mobile phone told her that she had come to a special existence called [Reincarnation World], and she needed to constantly shuttle between one after another. In one dungeon, they used their lives as bets to continue taking risks, just to escape from this world in the end.

It's not so much shit luck to survive, but it's more like going from one curse to another.

All she can do is try to survive.

Fortunately, in this world, the soul gem in her hand will not become dirty due to the use of magic.Relying on her powerful magic power, it took her only 14 years to qualify for an S-level dungeon within a year.

I thought my life was like this, but I never expected that I would see the mermaid witch's familiar again in this dungeon.

If...if I could...if I could say goodbye to Sayaka...

Once an idea is born, it emerges from the mind uncontrollably.There was a sharp stabbing pain in his head, and he wished to smash his head to the ground hard to relieve it.

From just now, my head hurts badly.Especially after killing those familiars, the pain became more and more serious.

Because of the pain, Sakura Kyoko's left eye was half-opened, her brows were tightly furrowed, she could only bite her lip hard to keep her brain thinking.

As if responding to her thoughts, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the thick fog in front of her, with a height of six or seven meters. Against it, Sakura Kyoko looked particularly petite.

And that huge figure actually had a mermaid tail.

"Why, how could it be..." Sakura Kyoko gasped, subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at the huge figure in front of her in disbelief, and murmured: "Ya, Sayaka..."

As if hearing Sakura Kyoko's call, the fog cleared slightly, revealing the true face of the huge figure—a "creature" with a strange shape and the appearance of a mermaid, a mermaid witch.

Ignoring Sakura Kyoko's shocked expression, the Mermaid Witch waved the Japanese sword in her left hand and slashed at Sakura Kyoko.

Sakura Kyoko's pupils constricted, and the sharp blade continued to expand in her sight——

A black and red light suddenly rushed out and directly hit the center of the sword. The sharp attack was directly deflected from the attack track by this sudden blow. The blade rubbed against Sakura Kyoko's body and split the ground under her feet.

"Wow." Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at this blow with some surprise: "It's very powerful!" Even compared to the final boss in [Fox Stairs], it is not too much.

But then again, Nakahara couldn't help Sakura Kyoko looking: "What kind of monster did you imagine?"

"Huh?" Imagine?

Sakura Kyoko stared blankly at Nakahara Chuya, her expression was a little numb for a moment.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to understand what he meant, Zhong Yuan Zhong also pointed at the mermaid witch and said, "Don't you know? This thing is a monster created by Mist according to your imagination!"

"Sayaka is not a monster!" Sakura Kyoko replied subconsciously, and then realized with belated awareness: "Is this... created by the fog?"

So that's it, it turns out...it's not Sayaka...

Very good!

"Damn it, how dare you tease me with such a mere fog!" After learning that the mermaid witch in front of her was born based on her own imagination, Sakura Kyoko was completely relieved, and the eyes that looked at the mermaid witch gradually became sharper. A smile appeared on her face again.The knotted whip in her hand turned into a pistol again, Sakura Kyoko jumped up high, the pistol in her hand was wrapped in fiery red magic power, and she stabbed sharply at the mermaid witch.

The mermaid witch in front of me came from the incarnation of the mist, and her strength is not as good as that of a real witch. In addition, Sakura Kyoko's strength has improved a lot compared to the past. Now she has no scruples at all, and her opponent is no longer her opponent , under Sakura Kyoko's fierce attack, there was no room for resistance, and he could only keep roaring.

"Wow, the little girl is so fierce now!" Seeing that Sakura Kyoko no longer needs help, Nakahara Nakahara simply stood aside with Dazai Osamu and watched the excitement, and couldn't help but complain: "The guy with such a terrible appearance Did you actually give it the name Sayaka? It's popular among girls nowadays?"

Well, but just keep your spirits up.

Although I don't know whether Sakura Kyoko is trustworthy, but Nakahara Chuya has a good impression of her. Sakura Kyoko's unpretentious and bold personality is very appetizing to Nakahara Chuya.

Anyway, I originally planned to find an opportunity to find out the details of Sakura Kyoko, and it just so happened that there were only three of them around.

A sharp stabbing pain suddenly flashed in his head, and Zhong Yuanzhong frowned without a trace.

Fortunately, the tingling pain didn't last long and then dissipated quickly, Nakahara didn't pay much attention to it, but belatedly remembered that he had to let go of Osamu Dazai just now in order to block the attack for Sakura Kyoko.

Oh shit, I have to protect myself quickly, I don't want this group of disgusting things who don't know what they are to get close to my body.

After Sakura Kyoko cleaned up the mermaid witch and the familiar, she turned her head and saw Nakahara Chuya and Dazai Osamu holding hands. She couldn't help but "tsk", her face was speechless: "Spicy eyes."

"Why do you have hot eyes?" Zhongya Nakahara also knew how gay he and Osamu Dazai were in the eyes of others, but after thinking about it carefully, they were originally a couple, and it was also gay to be regarded as gay. There is no problem, so I said: "I did this to prevent myself from producing those monsters! Besides, how can we be so handsome!"

"It turns out that pulling Xiaoshou can prevent monsters from being spawned?" Sakura Kyoko had an expression of "who are you lying to?"

"I don't care too much with you." Zhong Yuanzhong also "hummed" and said, "Hey, brat, do you still remember who we two are?"

"I know, those stupid couples!"

"Hey, I can't pretend that I didn't hear that!" Nakahara Chuya stared at him, "Why does this uncle look like an idiot?"

"Huh? I'm just a casual address. As an adult, why are you so fussy? Are you a child?"

Nakahara Chuya protruded three "well" characters from his head.

Seeing that the conversation was inexplicably developing towards the direction of elementary school students bickering, Dazai Osamu pulled Nakahara Chuya closer to him with some helplessness, put one arm around him to keep him from moving, and said softly to Sakura Kyoko : "Don't worry, we are not bad people."

"Really?" Sakura Kyoko's eyes flashed back and forth between Nakahara Nakaya and Dazai Osamu, and she was thinking about something, when suddenly a red light flashed, and the transformation on her body was lifted directly.She took out a lollipop from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and said lazily: "But you guys saved me once, so I don't care about it. Tell me, what do you want me for?"

She is a smart little girl.

The smile in Osamu Dazai's eyes deepened, and he asked directly, "Do you know Ba Mami?"

"Mami?" Sakura Kyoko was taken aback for a moment, her eyes became serious in an instant, she looked at Dazai Osamu eagerly: "Do you know her?"

"She is our friend." Zhongya Nakahara continued Dazai Osamu's words: "Actually, she has always felt that her partner has also come here and is constantly looking for it in the space of the main god. We also noticed you by accident this time." Her strength is very similar to that of Ba Mamei, so I came to ask you. It seems that you really know her."

"She...can be regarded as my master." Speaking of this, Sakura Kyoko was silent for a moment, as if she had some memories that she didn't want to mention, then she heard Nakahara Chuya continue: "She was fighting against the witch In the process, he was seriously injured and died, but unexpectedly came to this world."

"Did she even tell you about the witch..." Sakura Kyoko breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that she really trusts you." Speaking of this, her brows and eyes softened a little: "Anyway, It's good that she's still alive."

At the beginning, they had a quarrel because of their family's misfortune, but in the end they broke up directly.

Later, what I got was the news that Ba Mamei died in battle.

It was great to hear that she was alive now.

However, in this way, both she and Ba Mami entered this world after death, so... Is it possible that Sayaka is also alive!

Thinking of this, Sakura Kyoko's eyes gradually became hot.

"Hey, after leaving the dungeon, can you take me to see Ba ​​Mami?"

"Of course." Chuya Nakahara nodded: "Since you are Mami's partner, you can be considered as our partner." Nakahara Chuya frowned, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand towards Sakura Kyoko : "Then this dungeon, let us work together."

"Naturally." Sakura Kyoko shook hands with Nakahara Nakaya very briskly, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, you said before that these things are formed of mist, what's going on?"

Since Sakura Kyoko is now one of her own, there is no need for Nakahara to hide it, pick and choose the information that can be told to her without hesitation, pointing to Dazai next to him under Sakura Kyoko's pensive eyes Zhi: "But you don't have to worry, touching this guy can prevent the fog from eroding our thinking."

"No wonder you hold hands." Sakura Kyoko suddenly realized: "But I think this fog should not only transform the fantasies in my mind into reality."

"How to say?"

"I think this fog seems to be able to lure out the most feared existence in people's hearts." Speaking of this, Sakura Kyoko lowered her voice a little: "Since entering the fog, I can't help but think of Sayaka becoming a witch. look, and then ... it became a reality."

The most feared existence?

I... What is the existence I fear most?

There was a moment of bewilderment suddenly in Zhong Yuan Zhongye's heart, and his brain tingled again. He frowned subconsciously, but his sight suddenly stopped when it fell to a certain place.

What am I most afraid of...

Why... that figure in the fog looks like Dazai?
