Seeking the Law of Summoning in Taisho

"Heh heh heh~ one person~ can't~ die for love~ two people~ can do~"

Osamu Dazai stepped on the stone bricks on the ground and walked unsteadily on the streets of Yokohama. The people on the left and right walked against him, and no one could hear the song he was humming clearly.

Of course, he didn't intend to let anyone hear clearly.

The red light at the intersection ahead was on. He stopped, lowered his head inadvertently, and happened to see a light-dark dividing line on the ground not far away.

He raised his head, looked into the distance along this line, and saw the sun slanting down, dividing the entire street into two worlds of light and darkness with the roof of a small building on the left as the boundary.

The small building is only about six floors high, it doesn't look spectacular, and the simple appearance is not gorgeous at all, but the edge of the roof of this small building perfectly coincides with this light-dark dividing line. Geometric sharp and regular beauty.

"Oh~" Osamu Dazai put his hand on his forehead, looked into the distance for a moment, then nodded, "What a nice place~"

〖If the building is too high, jumping off should cause trouble for the cleaning staff, right?The one in front of me is not bad, it is not too high, and the scenery is not bad, it is simply perfect! 〗

Thinking of this, Osamu Dazai curled his lips into a smile, and when the green light turned on, he walked straight towards the building with brisk steps and no hesitation.

Turning into the alley, you can find the iron stairs leading to the roof on the outside of the building.

This staircase looks like it has been around for quite some time. There is a thick layer of rust on the handrail, so you don’t need to touch it. Just the breeze brought by Dazai Osamu when he stepped up the steps can make these things fall down with a rustle, hitting the ground again. Crushed into powder, brittle as burnt paper.

There was the creaking sound of the stairs beside the ears, but Dazai Osamu was like a blind and deaf person at this moment, not worried about whether he would fall down, but instead climbed up in a state of stepping and three jumping, always with a smile on his face. Laugh easily.

If it weren't for the fact that no one around him agreed to die in love, the song he was humming just now might float beside this small building again.

"finally reached."

Osamu Dazai stood on the roof and scanned the surrounding scene. Except for the thick dust accumulated by no one who had been there for a long time, there was nothing on the roof.

From here, you can see the warm sun in the sky. The golden, dazzling, seemingly soft light spreads on the roof, reflecting the surroundings brightly and warmly.

As if chasing the light, Osamu Dazai quickly approached the edge of the roof as if he was running, and he didn't stop until he stepped on the edge of the steps.

The wind blowing from below lifted up his black hair, the belt slapped the windbreaker frantically, and finally took out one of the hands that were in the pocket. Osamu Dazai looked down, and Lupin's matchbox was waiting safely. In the palm of his hand, Mr. Hat on the screen smiled at him in a gentlemanly and funny way.

So he laughed too.

The next moment, he turned around, let the wind pass through his ears, relaxed his body, and fell backwards.

The sun slowly slanted and sprinkled all over him.

Dazai closed his eyes.

〖Let’s go here. 〗

-

The black coats that fluttered as they ran cut through the quiet afternoon air, and the teenagers ran wildly on the street, no longer caring about the crowd and the condemnation around them, they only wanted to go faster and faster in their minds.

"Akutagawa! Is it really in this direction!"

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't stop to say sorry to the lady who bumped into him, the eyesight gifted by the tiger was tightly locked on the black figure in front of him, and the manic heartbeat was not known whether it was due to the current movement or some upcoming events.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not respond.

Just when Atsushi Nakajima thought that the other party hadn't heard clearly, and was about to catch up and ask again, the other party's deep voice suddenly came from ahead.

"Rento." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said slowly, speaking at a speed completely different from his running speed, "If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you."

Atsushi Nakajima withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.

〖Of course I also hope...〗

His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar figure in his peripheral vision, he turned his head suddenly, and his sight happened to catch the remnant corner of the windbreaker before it disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Akutagawa! There!"

The person in front of him stopped for an instant, turned his head to look, and rushed there without hesitation the next moment.

The old iron ladder swayed even more during the extreme speed running, and the tooth-piercing "creaking" sound made people dread.

But neither of the two cared to worry about this matter. The moment their toes touched the roof, the situation on the edge of the roof came into view.

"Mr. Dazai—Mr. Dazai!"

The young man fell backwards with his arms outstretched, like a bird spreading its wings, and under the reflection of the golden sunlight behind him, it seemed as if it was about to fall into the embrace of the sky.

The faces of the teenagers turned pale with shock, except for the sound of panicked footsteps, they couldn't find any words to cover up the sound.

〖don't want……〗

〖don't want! 〗

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's toes reached the edge faster than the other, and he stretched out his hand——

〖OK!Can hold!Just a little bit—〗

The other party avoided his hand while smiling.

The young man's lips opened and closed, and he said a word silently.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes were wide open, and at that moment, blood-like red flooded into his dry eye sockets, he moved his lips, but couldn't speak.

He saw the other party say——

"goodbye."

"Mr. Dazai——!!!"

The heart-piercing shouts scattered the birds in the sky, and also covered the dull crashing sound on the ground.

-

"Mr. Dazai, he...he is dead."

Ango Sakaguchi put down the phone next to his ear.

His face was very calm, and it seemed no different from the rational calm shown in his daily work.

However, his subordinates who have followed him for many years are sensitively aware that Mr. Sakaguchi seems to have changed a little after this phone call.

For example, the pages of the book were instantly pinched by the fingertips in his hand.

"Mr. Sakaguchi..."

Ango Sakaguchi paused slightly, then turned his head without changing his expression, and handed the pages under the instrument to his subordinates.

"Put the 'book' in again, already..."

"It's useless."

The paper left the light of the instrument, and the handwriting that was deliberately hidden on it disappeared again, turning into two blank lines.

The subordinate took the paper respectfully with his gloved hand, the shock of seeing those two lines just now remained in his mind.

"Yokohama restores peace, Osamu Dazai's desire to commit suicide expands infinitely."

"The plan failed, and the guilt and punishment of Fyodor Dostoevsky was imposed on him."

Here are two sentences written in two different fonts——

This is the last game for the opponents.

-

"……Uh-huh……"

Zhong Yuanzhong also held the folder in his hand and listened to his subordinate's work report, and occasionally responded twice, indicating that the other party was really listening carefully. After a while, seeing that the subordinate's report was over, he asked: "What is the meeting of the supernatural secret service department?" When is it?"

"It is tentatively scheduled for 03:30 in the afternoon. If there is a change in the plan, a notice will be sent from the Ability Secret Service Division."

"Tch, it's really uncomfortable to be instructed by them." Zhong Yuanzhong also cursed, and asked, "What time is it now?"

The subordinate raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and was about to answer, when a sound of footsteps passed by, Nakahara Naka also looked at him at the same time, and saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke striding past the other side of the corridor, as if he didn't see them .

"Akutagawa!" Nakahara Nakaya greeted first, and the other party stopped and looked over, "What do you want to do next?"

"Mr. Nakahara." Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded, respectful and polite, with his usual seriousness on his face, "I have completed the task that needs to be done, and there are no further arrangements for the time being."

Nakahara Chuya: "Then you and I will go to the Supernatural Secret Service Section later."

"Yes, Mr. Nakahara." Akutagawa Ryunosuke responded, "Then, I will make preparations first."

Zhongyuan Zhong also asked him to leave on his own. Seeing him looking over, his subordinates opened their mouths and said:

"It's two-five in the afternoon—"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps behind him interrupted him again.

This time, before the two of them could look up, the visitor had already rushed to them, "Mr. Zhongyuan!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, not very satisfied with the other party's unsafe behavior, but he still asked what's the matter first.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, just now there was news from there, saying," the face of the visitor was nervous and fearful, and even his voice was so dry that it seemed to be blown by a cold wind, and it was extremely hoarse.

"—Say, the monitored person 'Dazai Osamu' has jumped to his death."

There was a moment of silence inside the Port Mafia building.

Nakahara Chuya was still holding the folder upright in his hand, but he felt an electric numbness spreading from his fingertips to his elbows, and then to his whole body, making his whole body stiff.

Two seconds later, he asked, "...what did you say?"

The person who reported said again, "The person being watched——hmm!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a black blade of clothing flew from nowhere and directly wrapped around his neck and pressed him against the wall!

Nakahara was also startled, turned his head to look, Akutagawa Ryunosuke happened to flash past him, and was brought by the strength of Ito to the person on the wall for an instant, then he grabbed the opponent's neck, lifted him up and said coldly Said: "Do the people below you usually use this kind of lie to fool the leader?"

The other party was strangled by him, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only retort weakly and intermittently: "I didn't... tell... a lie... Obviously you... are also... there..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Akutagawa Ryunosuke glared at him fiercely, "I haven't seen Mr. Dazai at all today!"

The other party wanted to try harder to say something, but his face became more and more ugly, his eyes rolled up, and it was obvious that he could not hold on any longer.

"Akutagawa!" Zhong Yuan frowned and said in a cold voice, "Don't do anything to your own people just because of outsiders."

On the surface, these words don't sound too preachy, but this serious tone, which seems to be deliberately suppressed, shows that these words are an order made by a superior to a subordinate.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke withdrew his hand, including his clothes, and the person who reported fell to the ground, coughing while covering his neck.

"Yes, Mr. Nakahara." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's etiquette was still impeccable, "Then, I will take my leave first."

Zhong Yuanzhong also didn't make a sound, but after the other party left, he stared at the other party's back, his brows getting deeper and deeper.

〖This guy, what's going on...〗

"Central Plains...ahem...Mr...." The man on the ground held his neck and struggled to calm the pain, "The subordinate did not lie, and Mr. Akutagawa did—"

Zhong Yuan also raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I will report this matter to the leader, you guys go down."

Without wasting any more time with them, he took the report documents from the other party, turned around and left.

The black coat draped over his shoulders swayed a little, and his back seemed to be infected by the man just now, and unconsciously changed into a hurried and hasty look.

He walked quickly through the wide passages in the building, letting the sunlight pass through the floor-to-ceiling windows and cast colorful shadows on him, and he didn't stop.

Until the body stopped in front of the leader's door, the guard standing at the door silently asked him about his affairs.

Zhong Yuan was also silent.

He was just wandering unconsciously.

There are a lot of messy things in his mind, even he himself doesn't know what he should be thinking at this moment, it's just...

He was just avoiding the information he had just received from his subordinates.

〖Although I have thought for a long time whether he will really play himself to death one day, but it is really... all of a sudden. 〗

... In the end, it was still going back to this matter.

"...damn mackerel."

Zhongyuan Zhong also cursed, but for the first time, he didn't have the exasperated mood of the past. He lowered his head and pinched the center of his brows, and whispered the last sentence to the person who was no longer there in a rare calm tone:

"You've got your wish, Dazai."

Five seconds later, he raised his head, resumed the appearance that a mafia cadre should have, and expressed his intentions loudly to the people inside.

After getting the reply that he was allowed to enter, the person at the door opened the door for him, and Nakahara Zhongya walked in with the document in his hand.

The door closed behind him, and the wind blowing made the paper in his hand rattle. He bowed slightly, then looked down at the document in his hand, and said calmly:

"leader."

-

The smell of disinfectant in hospitals is always unpleasant, not to mention some individual rooms with obviously too much air-conditioning.

It's dark and cold here, the overhead lights are pale, and the green-painted walls reflect the whole room into a faint green look, even the white cloth in the center of the room is such a frightening sight .

However, Kunikida stood here alone, without the slightest emotion other than sadness and depression.

"...How could this be? This guy..."

He leaned against the wall, his eyes fell on the hospital bed covered with white cloth in the center, and it was a bit difficult to even speak.

Yosano Akiko stood by the door, as if she couldn't bear it, she took the lead to look away, and turned to look outside the door.

In the corner, the white-haired boy was sitting on the ground with his knees hugged. The sound of sobbing had been echoing in the dark corridor for a long time. Since he came to the hospital with the dead body of the other party, he never said a word.

Yosano Akiko couldn't bear to look away, and sighed softly.

"I asked Tanizaki and the others to go back first, they still couldn't bear it, but Dun-jun..."

The child seemed to have enclosed himself in a space, unable to hear outside sounds, or in other words, even if he heard them, he was unwilling to respond.

Kunikida Doppo remained silent.

Yosano Akiko: "...Did the president say how to deal with his funeral?"

After a while, Kunikida Dupo spoke, but his voice was hoarse: "Not yet, but Mr. Ranpo has already said that he will be back."

"yes……"

The morgue fell silent again.

In the quiet underground, crying is the only abrupt sound here, but no one has the heart to be too harsh.

I don't know how long this state lasted until a slight sound came in, which became the second sound that broke the silence.

"excuse me."

Yosano Akiko and Kunikida were startled, and looked at the source of the sound at the same time, only to find that standing there was... a child?

The other party's stature was smaller than their calves, but they were dressed like nobles in ancient times, full of confusing disharmony.

The other party didn't care about the expressions on their faces, he just saluted with a slight smile, and said softly:

"My name is Aoi, may I ask, is President Fukuzawa here?"

"——I have a commission that I want to hand over to him."

The boy's crying still didn't stop, but the pages he hadn't grasped were reloaded in a new way.

The paper with the bright red Bianhua flower was turned over, and the new story will be rewritten on the next page.

——This may be a story of redemption for others and self redemption.

Episode [-] [Life and Death] End

The author has something to say: make some additions to the extra content:

The first is the two sentences in the "book".These two sentences were written by Tosi and Dazai to each other, Tuosi wrote first, Dazai added later, and the person who hid these two sentences is Dazai.

The second is the state of Akutagawa.Unlike Atsushi who was able to vent his grief by crying, Akutagawa faced the death of his teacher head-on. His overly stubborn character made him unacceptable, his consciousness collapsed, and he temporarily forgot what happened that day when he left the scene.

About the opening time of the next book:

Probably at the end of the year, because there is still a hole to fill in, and there are very important exams during this period, so I can't open a new article in a short time, sorry.

In addition, when I was writing the ending of this book, I suddenly had an idea of ​​if weaving too derived from this book, and put a copy in the column, if you are interested, you can go and have a look.
