But what did Slime do wrong?

Limuru tried to walk in this space.

It was as if an invisible spotlight shone on him from an unknown place, shining light with every action he made, lighting up the road ahead all the way.

Colorful lotus flowers with a strange, transparent and hard texture surround his feet, just like the tall gods and Buddhas in the records of the scriptures, who are not stained by dust and grow lotuses step by step.

This dark space is very strange, desolate and lonely, except for the road under Limulu's feet, there is no other existence.

There is no sound, no buildings, no signs of life, and it even makes people feel like they have fallen into an abyss without stars and moons, wrapped tightly in thick and sticky darkness, as if they are going to die no matter what. There is no way to get rid of the malice.

But this kind of malice is nothing but trivial to Rimuru who once faced the evil of this world, and even accommodated the evil of this world in her body.

And compared to that kind of malice, Limuru should be more concerned about...

Hidden under this malice is a kind of loneliness and sadness that can almost completely overwhelm people.

Like a whale with 52 MHz in the deep sea, it can only be a lonely monophonic sound forever, without any response or resonance.

"……Hello?"

Rimuru asked tentatively.

This question seemed to have disturbed the owner of the dark scene. The surrounding scene was no longer the same, and a patter of "rain" fell from the sky and hit Limulu's face.

Limulu hesitantly stretched out his hand to wipe it, looked down, and saw that his hand was covered with bright red blood, exuding a strong smell of rust, and hidden in it was some kind of excessive fishy sweetness.

Rimuru: "??!"

No, what's the matter with you? !

Why did it start raining blood after a disagreement? !

Limuru was almost shocked by this.

The blood rain seemed to have lifted some kind of secret curtain, revealing the truth behind it.The black is like ink that has been smeared and wiped away, and the color is revealed bit by bit.

However, even this color is dark and gloomy, which makes people feel depressing.

But the blood rain gradually stopped.

Rimuru was finally able to see the scene in front of him clearly.

This is a city that is [-]% similar to the Yokohama he just arrived with Yu Zhangxun.

However, compared to the Yokohama that Limulu saw, the city in front of him undoubtedly looked more... gloomy and cramped.

Moreover, it seemed that even what could be smelled between the nostrils was filled with the smell of blood.

For a moment, Limuru didn't know what happened to her, so she simply wanted to let go of her magical perception to investigate the situation.

Then, this time, he finally found something unusual.

According to common sense, the will of Elimuru himself and the amount of magic power released will determine how far away the magic perception he released can cover; but the difference is that this time, when Limuru released When the magic "tentacles" were in a certain place, they suddenly disappeared.

Limuru was not panicked by such a sudden situation, on the contrary, he was sincerely happy for such a situation.

Because "abnormality" means that it is an important channel and clue to find the flaw and get out from this unknown place.

Rimuru then rushed towards the abnormal place.

This "abnormality" does not seem to have any intention of avoiding it, so Limuru caught his whereabouts very easily.

It was a teenager.

The boy has black soft short hair, handsome facial features and face.Although he didn't know what the reason was, he used a bandage to wrap one side of his eyes, and even covered half of his face because of it, but it still didn't damage his good looks.

It is clear that there is a busy street beside him, and behind him are subordinates and colleagues with respectful and tool-like faces; but this young man seems to be out of tune with everyone and wandering away, and he does not seem to be able to integrate into them at all. among the same.

Limulu looked at the boy across the road, and the magic essence exuded from his body was automatically decomposed when it came into contact with the boy, like some kind of strange magic or talent.

Undoubtedly, this boy was the only "abnormality" he had perceived before.

Without too much thinking, Limuru walked towards the boy.His goal is so straightforward and undisguised, it is easy to be discovered.

The people standing behind the boy immediately showed extreme vigilance, raised the guns in their hands, and looked at Limuru with a definitely not friendly attitude.

However, the young man who was the leader looked at Limuru with enigmatic eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and finally waved his hand, signaling that the subordinates behind him didn't have to show such an unfriendly attitude.

"Good afternoon." The boy laughed, "My lovely little lady."

He rushed forward with one shoulder, held Limulu's hand, with sincere affection, and his voice was as sweet as honey: "Would you like to die in love with me?"

Rimuru: "Hey, hey?!"

What kind of weird request is this when we first meet? !

Is it because he has lived among monsters for too long, and he has no way to adapt to the current social methods and social etiquette among humans?

Rimuru was thinking in disbelief, because she was so shocked that she even forgot to shake off the boy's hand for a moment.

But this kind of stalemate was only for a moment, because soon, Limuru reacted: "...No! Please allow me to solemnly refuse!"

"And I'm not a girl either!"

"That's right, that's such a pity." Although the black-haired boy said so, but from his tone, Limulu couldn't hear even the slightest "pity" emotion.

"After all... this is the first time I've seen you [here]."

Limulu froze for a moment, and caught a very strange expression in the other party's context.

"[Here]?" He repeated the other side's words, "Do you know where this is?"

Then, at that moment, Limuru sensed some kind of piercing killing intent, and instinctively sounded the alarm sharply, warning Limuru that some kind of danger was coming.

Limuru almost subconsciously launched the defensive magic circle, and then heard a crisp sound of "ding", followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

He moved his gaze down, and saw the metal shell lying on the ground, and the wooden canister held by the black-haired boy.

"Oh, it looks like I missed the shot."

After the boy looked at him for a moment, he twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a joyful and viscous, dark, malicious smile.

"Then please tell me."

Those iris-purple eyes turned cold in an instant, and they looked like ice cubes mixed with the oozing juice after crushing the petals, possessing an inhuman transparency and coldness.

"How did you enter this territory that only belongs to me?"

*****

Osamu Dazai clearly knew that this place was not reality, but should be just a silly game of a certain god, or a trap deliberately set up for him by some cunning enemy.

But he couldn't bear the principle of this illusion, so he could only go around here all the time, repeating that scene--continuously repeating, the scene of Oda Sakunosuke's death.

Even today, Dazai Osamu can still remember the temperature of Oda's blood, and the sad and bright colors of the sunset in the afternoon that was like a magic moment.

His best friend quietly closed his eyes in his arms, and fell into an eternal sleep.The little bit of warmth left when the opponent's hand brushed his cheek was quickly taken away by the wind, leaving only excessive coldness.

Death, death, death.

No matter how much effort Osamu Dazai made, even if he almost rewritten everything, but at that certain point in time, what he could meet would always be to watch Odasaku die in front of him.

Then, with the death of Oda Tsukuru as the symbol of the end and the button of the beginning, the time will be reversed, and Dazai Osamu will once again stand at a certain crossroad in Yokohama, and the news notified to him in the mobile phone in his hand is Odasaku was on his way to find Gide.

This is an endless cycle with no end in sight, even though it is full of loopholes, there is no way to detect it.

Osamu Dazai has made it clear that the only way to get out of here is to avoid Odasaku's death.

However, it was just such a thing, whether it was him a year ago or him a year later, there was nothing he could do.

This is already the number of times that Osamu Dazai has gone back in time and stood at this crossroads.

The phone in his pocket rang and vibrated, but Osamu Dazai didn't want to answer it.

Either way, there will be no difference from before.

then.

It was at such a time that even Osamu Dazai would feel hopeless and at a loss.

A blue figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

It has never appeared in the previous reincarnation, and there has never been any connection or memory in Dazai Osamu's previous 19 years of life. Vitality is like an elf, like a sun.

Osamu Dazai opened his mouth, and suddenly seemed to realize something.

Ah, that should be...

The miracle called "Hope".
