I'm not really evil

Outside the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The three unhurried strokes give people a sense of politeness.Rather than an uninvited guest, it's more like a gentleman with self-restraint coming to visit.

Several people who were talking looked at the door panel in unison.

"Who is it?" Galma asked a little strangely.As the lowest status among the people present, he got up consciously and walked to the door.

The safe house is equipped with bulletproof iron doors without peepholes, but the corridors are full of cameras with no blind spots.

Osamu Dazai, who was already looking down at his phone, smiled curiously: "At this time, the people who can find this place must probably be the official people."

"Do you need to prepare for battle?" Tianyi Wuwu didn't notice anything strange, but Oda Sakunosuke still touched his waist, pulled the coat on one side, and took out the magazine from his pocket.

"There is only one person here." Osamu Dazai looked at the figure on the screen, pondered for a while, and made a judgment, "It should be for negotiation. Let's make contact first."

Snow Maiden sat on the side, quietly holding Yingying who was running around in only her bathrobe, and put a thick white winter coat on her.

She is not very good at taking care of people, and she can only imitate the scenes of humans taking care of cubs that she occasionally sees, but she doesn't know that Hotaru's body can't feel cold at all.

Galma, who walked to the door, waited for Xuenu to put on her master's clothes before asking nervously, "So, I opened the door?"

"Let's go, let's go." It was Osamu Dazai who answered him. The boy took off his black coat and tie early in the heated room, and the bandage and a small piece of white hair were loosely exposed at the neckline. skin.While moving his fingers slowly, he slowly laughed.

Galma shuddered, and immediately turned the doorknob obediently.

First, he carefully exposed a gap, and then, after confirming that the person coming was not carrying a weapon, he opened the entire door.

Galma has lived by A's side for so many years, and she does not lack the caution she should have.

Outside the door, a gentlemanly and polite middle-aged gentleman was standing there upright with a civilized staff and a decent smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit. Old man, Natsume Soseki."

He was wearing a camel-colored windbreaker, with a straight figure and a bowler hat. Under the pressed brim, he revealed deep eyes, orange bangs covering the left half of his face, and a delicate mustache.

This is a big guy with a lot of personal characteristics and an extraordinary momentum at first sight.

Galma even took a few steps back unconsciously, making way for him.

Osamu Dazai changed his sitting position, his eyes became a little more serious.Keen and excellent observation ability, he can usually analyze a person in sevens and eights when he meets him for the first time, but this person in front of him is not ordinary, what Dazai Osamu's observation can get from him Effective information is extremely rare.

Natsume Soseki glanced around the room, pausing slightly on Dazai Osamu, Yukionna and Hotaru, and finally landed on the reddish-brown-haired young man wearing a black shirt.

And Sakunosuke Oda opened his eyes wide the first time he saw the person coming, and unexpectedly lowered the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

This person had left a deep impression on his memory.So many years later, he still recognized it at a glance.

"Mr. Natsume, please come in." Oda Sakunosuke stood up and greeted.

"Don't come here without any problems, Xiaoyou Oda." After receiving the master's permission, Natsume Soseki tapped the staff slightly, and walked in in two or three steps.He sat on the seat vacated by Oda Sakunosuke, took off his hat and put it on his lap, and nodded politely to everyone in the room.

Oda Sakunosuke walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of tea to his respected old gentleman.

"Odasaku~ Do you know this Mr. Natsume?" Osamu Dazai opened his eyes slightly and asked with a lovely smile, "He looks like a very powerful old man, but I haven't heard of it in Yokohama?"

Osamu Dazai was a little frustrated.The old fox in front of him is definitely a top-notch old fox. He hides his own information so tightly that he walks like a living etiquette textbook. He can't see any personal habits, which makes Osamu Dazai unable to do anything.

Natsume Soseki showed a knowing smile, his kind eyes swept across the boy in front of him.The teenager didn't know him, but he had seen him many times in bars.

Like Oda Sakunosuke back then, this young man is a diamond that has not yet been carved, but is already extremely bright.The extremely excellent emotional intelligence and wisdom allow him to control people's hearts freely, even if he breaks into the dark inner world alone, he can live with ease.Also feeling confused about life, he chose a completely different path from Oda Sakunosuke.

Seeing Osamu Dazai's strange expression of depression and eagerness to try, Hotaru said abruptly, "Kitten."

"puff!"

Natsume Soseki was caught off guard and sprayed out the tea in his mouth.

He looked in shock at Ying, who was sitting quietly but uttered shocking words, his eyes were a little speechless.

The old man has kept the vest for so many years...

"Eh? Eh!~~ Could it be that Hotaru is talking about the cat we saw on the rooftop in the afternoon?" Dazai Osamu was already very good at reading what Hotaru said, and his eyes immediately lit up when he heard it. Obviously, what Hotaru said aroused him greatly Interested, "There are people with supernatural abilities like this! It's very suitable for intelligence gathering abilities! Look carefully, the old man's hair color is orange on the left, black on the right, and white at the end... Isn't it the color of a three-colored cat~"

Oda Sakunosuke's eyes widened slightly, staring at the three-colored hair exposed after Mr. Natsume took off his hat. Obviously, this was the first time he had heard such news.

Looking at Mr. Natsume who is so serious and serious, is the supernatural power so cute?

"Ahem——" Natsume Soseki couldn't hold back anymore. He knew the mystery of Hotaru, but he didn't expect that he would be stripped of his vest the second time he met her after only appearing in front of her once!

"Mr. Natsume, the person who once gave me guidance in life." It seemed that the atmosphere had not become subtle, Oda Sakunosuke stared at Natsume Soseki, and seriously answered Osamu Dazai's previous question.

Although he still had that unmotivated expression on his face, anyone who knew him well could see his respect for Mr. Natsume.

"Where, I just made a trivial suggestion." Natsume Soseki quickly took the steps given by Oda Sakunosuke and walked down, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly on his face.

He was also quite impressed with the first encounter.At that time, Oda Sakunosuke, who was still a young killer, was sitting by the window of the coffee shop reading a book, lonely and empty.Natsume Soseki, who was already an excellent teacher at that time, could see the confusion hidden in the young man in front of him.

The reason why he is so persistently pursuing a book that has no second volume is because there are so few things worth caring about in that young man's empty heart.

At the beginning, Natsume Soseki proposed to allow young people to continue to write the second volume of his book, just hoping that he could examine his own life and find something that he could stick to.Afterwards, he was very relieved to see that this young man chose not to kill any more, and quit the killer profession full of blood and betrayal. Even if he did not completely leave the other world, he turned to walk on a brighter path.

Unfortunately, the appearance of Hotaru not only broke the peace of Yokohama, but also forced the young man to give up his previous persistence.

Thinking of this, Natsume Soseki couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Mr. Natsume." Under his gaze, Sakunosuke Oda said apologetically, "Sorry, I may not be able to write anymore."

To write a book is to write a person. *

This is what Natsume Soseki said to him back then.

From that day on, he worked hard to become a better person in order to complete the ideal work in his mind.

But now, he seems to have gone back to the old way.

Even so, he never regretted it.

He watched his adopted child being shattered in the explosion, and the emotion in his heart at that time made him really realize what this person named Oda Sakunosuke should really pursue in his life.

Natsume Soseki sighed slightly.He understood what Oda Sakunosuke meant.

This is a polite refusal.

This young man has clearly stated his position.

Even if ideals, friendship, and righteousness are used, the position cannot be shaken.

"If possible, the old man still hopes to solve the problem through communication." Natsume Soseki sighed, his gentle eyes finally fell on the little girl who rubbed into the arms of Oda Sakunosuke, "You can tell the old man, why did you respond to [Book] ] Are you so persistent, little girl?"

Hotaru puffed up her cheeks: "It's it, first target me. Suzuki, Demon Exorcist, Miko, Port Mafia..."

She seldom talked so much in a row, and her small mouth made Osamu Dazai want to poke her round face.

But in fact, she had an absolute advantage in the confrontation with 【Book】.

After hearing what she said, Natsume Soseki was taken aback immediately, and asked quickly, "You mean, books have their own consciousness?"

Thinking about it now, these successive coincidences and the ultimate move against Yingying are not in line with common sense, but the chain of events that is barely logical is indeed very "book" style.

But whether it is Natsume Soseki, or the Supernatural Secret Service Division who has been researching and keeping the [Book] for a period of time, they would never have imagined that the [Book] that was peacefully collected by them would have its own consciousness!

Yingying didn't intend to answer, so she snorted softly, her voice was still milky, but her tone was very strong, and she declared: "I want it, eat it."

"Son, do you really know how important [book] is to Yokohama?" Natsume Soseki looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Once something goes wrong with it, everything you cherish in your life will also disappear. of."

He could see that this child seemed indifferent, but he did have human emotions and someone he wanted to cherish and protect.

What Ranbu Boy said was right.

Even if Xiaoyou Oda is unwilling to take advantage of this emotion, his existence itself is the biggest constraint for this child.

However, Hotaru's answer made Natsume Soseki's body freeze.

"I will, replace it. Become the new [book]." Yingying stared at him, in the clear and beautiful jewel eyes, there was a kind of coldness that made him shudder, "Don't resist, you won't die. Everyone, everyone The same one."

For [Book], Hotaru may be a virus, a tyrant, or an invader, so I instinctively want to eliminate and eliminate them.

And for Yingying, this is already her determined destination.

Therefore, [books] with a sense of hostility are not allowed to exist.

She will replace the book and become the new core of this world.

Because she is not an evil god, she is Oda Hotaru.

So this is not for destruction, but for protection.

In order to protect Oda Sakunosuke who is willing to give up his ideal for her.

By the way, also protect this world.
