Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

According to the address given by Osamu Dazai, Sakunosuke Oda came to an opera house.

The western-style dome building stands on the street, and the double-opening doors are carved with complicated and noble patterns. Through the cracks in the door, you can faintly hear the singing from inside, the passionate music and human voices mixed together , I can't hear exactly what you said.

"It's here." Oda Sakunosuke looked at the note in his hand, which was written in Dazai Osamu's elegant and chic handwriting, "But...are we here early?"

Although it has entered autumn, the sun above my head does not hide my brilliance, not to mention it is noon, which is the time when the sun is at its peak. I choose to meet a ghost at this time. If the other party does not know that this is an agreement , I'm afraid it's murder.

But when he went out, Dazai didn't remind him, did he leave too early...

"Now that we're here, let's go in and have a look." Aoi suggested.

Oda Sakunosuke did not refuse, raised his hand and opened the door.

The sight in front of him suddenly dimmed. On the contrary, the sound of the music in his ears was amplified, and the sound of the singing and dancing actors' high heels stepping on the stage floor became clearly audible.

Oda Sakunosuke walked in, and his pupils gradually adapted to the darkness.

He was standing in the aisle, with a crowd of people watching the stage play sitting on both sides.

For a moment, he forgot the fact that he would not be seen by others, and was looking for a place where he would not block others, when Aoi, who was sitting on his shoulder, suddenly called out to him.

"Mr. Oda," he said while looking somewhere, "let's go there."

"What's wrong?" Although he was a little confused, his body was also acting according to Aoi's words, and the position where the other party's eyes fell was the direction of the backstage.

The stepped stage was full of song and dance actors. They danced to the music, and the dresses on their bodies spread out during the dance, like blooming flowers. At a glance, it looked like a spring scene.

To get to the backstage, you have to walk to the side of the stage, and the closer you get, the louder the music, Aoi had to get close to Oda Sakunosuke's ear, amplified the voice and shouted: "I feel like Kazuki is there!"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded to express that he heard it, and then quickened his pace and walked in that direction.

Aoi led Sakunosuke Oda all the way to the door of the dressing room along with her breath, where a girl wearing an actress costume was squatting by the wall, with a cigarette in her mouth, and the smoke curled upwards in the dim light of Mars.

Oda Sakunosuke: "... Kazuki?"

The girl seemed to have heard the voice, and looked up, her eyes behind the smoke were full of impatience.

After sizing up Oda Sakunosuke's eyes, she raised her eyebrows: "Did you find the wrong person?"

Aoi answered, "It's Dazai-san—"

Before he finished speaking, the girl's expression changed, and then she stopped smoking. She took Oda Sakunosuke's wrist and brought the two of them into the dressing room, then turned and closed the door.

When Oda Sakunosuke turned his head again, he saw that the other party had thrown the cigarette in his mouth. Although his appearance had not changed, his expression had returned to the indifferent look that belonged to "Kazuki".

"Where is Osamu Dazai?" Yixi asked aloud, "The appointment was made last night, if it wasn't for the fact that the opera house was lit all day and there was no sunlight, and the actors could choose to leave or not, I would have been killed by him !"

last night?

But Dazai didn't mention this time, did he remember wrongly, or did he have other plans?

Oda Sakunosuke didn't say these words, he just explained calmly: "It's inconvenient for Dazai to show up right now, so I asked me to bring you something."

Kazuki took the potion handed over by Oda Sakunosuke, swirled the liquid twice, and complained casually: "It's inconvenient to appear? He obviously didn't care about asking him to wind up carefully before, but now he pays attention..."

Oda Sakunosuke frowned subconsciously.

He always felt that some thought flashed through his mind the moment the man spoke, but unfortunately, that thought was fleeting and he didn't have time to grasp it.

Since it was unexpected, it would be fruitless to keep entangled, Oda Sakunosuke put this matter behind for the time being, and bid farewell to Kazuki first.

It was easy to deliver the medicine, the only strange thing was the wrong time, Oda Sakunosuke planned to ask Osamu Dazai after he went back, but he didn't take it too seriously.

But the completion of this matter is thanks to Aoi, if he hadn't sensed Kazuki's breath, I'm afraid they would have to delay here for a while.

Oda Sakunosuke walked out with Aoi, and asked curiously, "For the gods, is the breath easy to identify?"

Aoi thought for a while, and said, "You can put it this way, after all, our eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see."

He explained: "For example, if a dying person shows death on his face, we will say that he has the breath of the other shore."

Oda Sakunosuke was a little confused: "Since you use your eyes, how did Aoi see Kazuki who is not in front of you?"

Aoi kept her mouth shut and didn't reply.

It wasn't until a moment later that Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help turning his head to look at the other party, only to hear his subtle sentence: "I'm just sure he's there."

The strange feeling that Oda Sakunosuke had just reappeared made him suddenly have an ominous premonition.

But before he could get to the bottom of this premonition, he suddenly felt a strong palpitation.

The shadow covered the top of his head, and his body was swallowed by the darkness the moment he looked up, and then a huge pressure hit, as if being squeezed back and forth by two boulders weighing more than a thousand catties, until his body was shattered into pieces in pain and dissipated in the in the dark.

In a blink of an eye, it was still the scene outside the song and dance theater, Oda Sakunosuke suddenly woke up, and instantly hugged Aoi next to him and dodged aside!

In the next moment, their original positions were swallowed by the giant mouth of the monster. If Oda Sakunosuke was one step behind, the two of them would have been lunch in the monster's mouth now!

"I didn't notice the newly formed monster because the breath was too weak..." Aoi felt lingering fear, "Fortunately, Mr. Oda reacted quickly."

"No..." Oda Sakunosuke shook his head.

He just saw his own death ahead of time.

Not entangled in this question, Oda Sakunosuke looked at the monster rushing towards the two, frowned and asked, "What should we do about this?"

"It's not strong, it can be broken up directly. The problem is another..." Aoi said, turning around, frowning and looking at the monster on the other side of the street that was much taller than the building next to it.

Oda Sakunosuke: "That's not the one Dazai met before—"

His voice paused, as if he had realized something, his whole body froze suddenly.

Why did it have to be postponed until noon today when it was agreed to deliver the potion to Yixi last night?Do you simply want him to make it up?

And, since Osamu Dazai proposed the position, did he really not come here beforehand?The monster who once chased Dazai came to their place again. Is it a coincidence or... was it attracted by someone?

There were so many questions in his mind that Sakunosuke Oda couldn't help frowning, but he didn't think long before he made a decision: "I want to go back immediately."

I hope Dazai... still stays at home.

-

The cold blade sliced ​​through the thick darkness, and the body made of mucus was split into two halves, and instantly fell to the ground slowly like mud.

After a while, it was absorbed by the cracks in the soil and could not be seen.

The monsters around were finally cleared away, Yato shook the dagger in his hand, with a helpless face: "You are the first one who dares to drive the gods."

The person behind tossed the coin into the air, and then caught it with one hand, with a leisurely and relaxed movement.

He smiled and said: "But, Lord Yato accepted the commission himself, I didn't force you."

"What are you talking about!" Yeto furrowed and stared back at him, "I meant to accept the commission of 'protecting you', but I didn't expect you to be so troublesome! Those monsters along the way are nothing more than that. What's going on again!"

Pointing to the long-haired warrior with six eyes standing not far away, he broke down and said, "That's a long knife! How could my dagger be able to beat it!"

"That's your problem, Mr. Bodyguard~" Dazai Osamu said lightly, "I've already paid the money, so the gods won't break their promises, right?"

Yato regrets it now, regrets it very much, he didn't expect this guy to have so many troubles, but for the sake of the god's reputation, he has to grit his teeth and promise: "...No."

Dazai Osamu laughed and said, "Then I will leave the rest to Yato, I'm going~"

Behind him is an endless dense forest, and there is only a narrow path for walking under his feet, but he doesn't know where it leads.

Seeing him turn around without hesitation, Yato couldn't help but say, "Hi!"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai turned around.

"Are you really going?" Yetou's brows still did not loosen, and his tone sounded a bit heavy, "It is said that people who have already entered cannot come out, even if you really do what you want inside." What you want to do, but you don't have the chance to see the person you want to see again, are you willing to accept such a result?"

Osamu Dazai maintained a half-turned appearance, and after listening to him finish speaking, the expression on his face did not change at all, even the curvature of the corner of his mouth remained the same.

"Well~ If even the legend says that people who have already entered cannot come out... I'm even more curious about how the legend came about."

He tossed the coin in his hand to Yato, and after the other party caught it, Osamu Dazai said, "The last request—"

"Don't let 'him' become Nora."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the dense forest without any hesitation.

——The second day when Osamu Dazai learned the truth from Aoi

"I'm going to make Odasaku turn back into a human."

The young man sat down in a corner of the tavern, faced the young god, and proposed a new request.Yato suspected that he heard it wrong: "...what did you say?"

"I know you heard it." Osamu Dazai took out a five-yen coin and put it on the table, "I hope you can help me find this method, and I can implement it myself."

Even if he wanted money again, Yato was overwhelmed by the other party's words at this time, and almost forgot that he was still holding the wine bottle in his arms.

The wine bottle slipped from his relaxed arm, and if Osamu Dazai hadn't helped him, he would probably have cried bitterly over the spilled wine.

...But now is not the time to think about it.

"The resurrection of the dead, are you dreaming?" Yato said after regaining consciousness.

Osamu Dazai asked, "Isn't I just an example?"

"That's because of Aoi's attributes!" Yato continued, "But even Aoi can't use divine power to revive the dead without scruple, it's against the law of heaven, so he has to bear the price .”

The simplest price is one life for one life.

Yato wanted to use this method to make Osamu Dazai retreat, but instead of retreating, the other party seemed to see a little hope, and became more excited.

"The fulfillment of wishes and the bearing of the price do not act on one person," Dazai Osamu pondered, "Then let me bear the price."

"Ah?!" Yato scratched his head, as if he was very confused by this person's brain circuit, "Aoi sacrificed herself to let you live, but you also sacrificed yourself to let that person live, so why not Let Aoi directly save that person, why bother?"

Osamu Dazai let out a foul breath when he heard the words, leaned back on the chair behind him, lowered his head slightly: "He won't allow me to do this."

He seemed to have thought of something, and laughed twice, but there was no joy in the laughter, like a robot that had been assembled, it would only show a formulaic laughter according to the program.

"It's so strange, that person." He said slowly, "Obviously I still have dreams that haven't come true, so what are you doing to save me who has no goals at all..."

Seeing that his emotions had finally returned to normal, Yato put the bottle on the table, and said to him earnestly: "Resurrection is...impossible. Thinking about it better, he is now a necromancer. The state can also be by your side, and you can communicate normally, which is not much different from the original feeling when you were a human..."

"It's different, in his state," Osamu Dazai looked up at him, "How could he become a famous novelist!"

Yato: "...?"

"If his fans find out that their favorite author is a ghost, how sad it will be! And as an author, Oda Saku will be sad if he finds out about it!"

Yato: "You're thinking too far! And it's a dead spirit, not a ghost!"

"In short," Osamu Dazai said seriously, "I must do this."

Yato ruffled his hair irritably.

Even if you say it so seriously, it's impossible to do such a thing...

If it is possible, there will be tens of thousands of people running out of Huangquan every year!The land of Japan has long been full of people!

He couldn't help mumbling: "Everyone's name and surname will be recorded by Huangquan after death. If the person represented by this name appears from the other side to this side, the gods in Gaotianyuan will definitely know about it. They will never allow such a thing. Humans exist. Even if you resurrect him in the end, can you still escape the pursuit of the gods?"

He looked up and saw Osamu Dazai, who was opposite him, was drinking leisurely with a cup, as if he didn't listen at all.

Yato: "You are still in the mood to drink at this time! And that's my beer!"

Osamu Dazai ignored his remark, put down the wine glass, and said in thought: "Since the name will be noticed by Gao Tianyuan, let's remove the name."

Yato was stunned: "What?"

"I said," Dazai Osamu flicked the wine glass with his fingertips, and smiled slowly, "Go to Huangquan and delete Oda Saku's name."

-

Osamu Dazai walked along the path, and the unchanging scenery on both sides made him a little bored. Finally, after half a quarter of an hour, the scenery in front of him finally changed.

At the end of the road is a Mukan torii. Shimenawa rope is hung on the torii made of cement, and the hanging part is slightly moved by the wind.

Walking a little further, you can see a cave with a height of one person. The inside is pitch black. Even though it is noon now, there seems to be no light coming in.

Osamu Dazai stood still at the entrance of the cave, holding on to the stone on one side, and exhaled lightly.

--Arrived.

The author has something to say: About Dazai's magnetic stripe:

#About my blind travel to hell#

#Can you pass the game with one life while playing the underworld game without knowing anything#

#You save me, I save him, he saves him#

#Because I'm afraid of being stupid, I'll be full of intelligence#

#The years when I let the gods be my bodyguards#
