Anomalous ability is Doctor Mori

87

What elements are needed for a story that saves the world?

First of all, we have a tragic witch-she is the villain who will drag the world into the abyss of destruction.

Then, we have a key magic weapon - a [book] that should not exist on this world line, leading to the destruction of the world.

Then, we have a young man who tries to save the world - yet he is wise enough to act as a sage who writes the script, but has no power of his own to change everything.

Therefore, the youth found a great magician—in every story about saving the world, there should be a magician who can summon the savior.

Finally, the youth also needs an accomplice—after calling the savior, before the final moment, he also needs a mentor who can help, protect, and guide her, the savior, to make him walk in the "right" direction.

"...It's Mori Ogai."

"Yes. Mr. Sen is the best solution."

"My pleasure."

The black-haired man who had been silent until now spoke in a low voice.The night wind lifted the hem of the white robe and messed up the black hair hanging by his ears.With dark red eyes narrowed slightly, Mori Ogai's eyes fell straight on the blond girl, and when those blue eyes looked over, he showed his signature, gentle smile.

"Long time no see, Alice."

What should be the answer at this moment?Alice didn't speak.

Mori Ogai didn't care either, the man who was still good at perceiving people's hearts even after becoming a supernatural power just smiled and turned his attention to other people.

"Speaking of which, I was quite surprised when Dazai-kun and Mr. Zellich found me for the first time." Even in such an environment, speaking of such a topic, Mori Ogai's tone remained steady, "After all, saving the world or something is incredible."

"But you still believe it." Dazai Osamu bent the corner of his mouth very shallowly.

"Because Dazai-kun looked too desperate at that time."

Mori Ogai narrowed his eyes.Even though many years have actually passed, he can still clearly remember the scene of that day.Standing in the backlight, the young man in black looks like a spokesman for death covered in dark shadows, and also like a pale and cold ghost.However, on his thin cheeks, under the loose strands of hair, the kite eyes half hidden in the shadows were shockingly bright.

It was the fire that crushed and burned everything in this young body.

— There is no way to turn a blind eye.

"...That kind of gaze. It can't be a lie or a joke. Rather, it's because it's so unbelievable, so I judge what you said is true."

——Then, I was given a wonderful trust.

——["If it's Mr. Mori...it must be possible, right? No, it should be said that this is something that only Mr. Mori can do."]

In the gloomy and barren pupils of the child who always had the will to die, for the first time, when he looked at him, he revealed the look of a drowning man staring at the river bank.

"And Dazai-kun saved me, I can't refuse your request." Mori Ogai said with a smile.

There was no malice or suspicion, no sarcasm or wit, gentle and rational, calm and easy-going, the expression and tone of an adult who tolerated and supported the other party.

Ah, sure enough.

Alice raised her head, looking at "my own supernatural power" with complicated eyes.

"It's Mori Ogai from 'This World'..."

The 14-year-old Osamu Dazai may be able to convince Mori Ogai as his guardian, and the 15-year-old Osamu Dazai may be able to convince Mori Ogai who is the leader of PortMafia.However, Dazai Ogai, who became the leader on the IF line, even if he came to the main world with the power of the jeweler, it is impossible to persuade Mori Ogai who just left the army and arrived in Yokohama, who has not picked up "Dazai Osamu" and has not yet become the leader of.

Because before the time she traveled through, Mori Ogai of the main world didn’t know Dazai Osamu—with this man’s character and heart, he has no reason to listen to what the strange young man said, even if he is 99.9% sure of that Is the truth.

And those who can cooperate with Osamu Dazai's script of the if line, and can become accomplices with him, can only witness everything he has done, bear the rise of "death", become the director of the orphanage, and be the head of the orphanage in "BEAST" In the end, Atsushi Nakajima will be taken in, and Mori Ogai who can say "There is a young man in front of me who wants to die, I want to save him, but I can't do anything - I don't want to have this kind of experience again."

It was Mori Ogai who gave up violent means and truly became a reliable adult.

"You guys, have you swapped people?"

"Yeah." Dazai nodded.

"So? Original Mori Ogai, now 'here'?"

"Ah."

Alice closed her eyes, opened them again, and found that she was not surprised to get such an answer.But if it's just like this...

She subconsciously pulled a strand of blond hair.The pain in the scalp was unmistakably real.Even at this moment, the link between her and "Mori Ogai" based on different abilities is real.

This is exactly what she can't let go of.

"Humanoid abilities and 'Alice'...why do you do this?"

The blue pupils stared straight at the red pupils not far away.If the [Collection Collection] revived a doll with memories, Mori Ogai standing here is just an automatic doll made of supernatural powers that operates according to the settings...

No matter how fake the appearance is, it is no longer human.The real Mori Ogai was already dead the first time she used 【Shen Luo Vientiane】.

She can tease his name at will when she doesn't remember the truth, jokingly call him a tool man, and despise his distasteful character, but now...

——Strictly speaking, this was the first person she killed with her own hands.

Alice bit her lip and stared straight into Mori Ogai's eyes.

The man with black hair and red eyes did not speak, and it was Zellich who answered instead of him.

"It's a quota." The silver-haired old man said in a deep voice, "The normal world has enough fault tolerance, but the world on the verge of collapse has no way to accommodate the existence of 'foreign objects'."

This is like a healthy person, even if he is exposed to a virus or inhales dust, he can rely on his own immunity to not get sick.But even the most common cold virus can be deadly to a weakened dying man with a total breakdown of his autoimmune system.

"Therefore, in order to prevent the world from collapsing immediately because of your existence, a quota is needed. And, it must be a clear quota."

To put it simply, it is necessary to manually manipulate this cross-dimensional kidnapping case as "transmigrating into a person who exists in a certain plot"-if you use the concept of Xiuzhenwen, this is "deceiving the secrets of heaven".

"But even so..." Alice raised her head sharply, "There is no need to—"

"No, on the contrary, it's necessary." Mori Ogai interrupted her, "Of course we can find another person, let you use [All Things] to get his ability, and then use [Book] to make you Take his place. But, Alice..." He paused, then smiled.

"If you woke up and found yourself time-traveling into any other 'character', would you trust Mori Ogai?"

of course not.

This is an answer that doesn't need to be considered at all.With Alice's character, no, there is no need to even use her as an example. Any ordinary girl who travels to "Wen Ye" and knows the plot—even if she only knows the plot roughly—as long as the golden finger has not been opened. Against the sky, the force value does not exceed the ceiling, and the intellectual reasoning does not reach the level of wisdom and closeness to monsters. It is impossible to trust Mori Ogai wholeheartedly from the beginning without any burden.

Rather, knowing Mori Ogai's nature and what he will do, to guard against, stay away from, and even fear such a person is in line with the instinct of an ordinary traveler with normal three views.

——With the existence of the sample of Luisa, as long as you refer to her attitude and behavior patterns, no matter Osamu Dazai or Mori Ogai, you can easily judge this point.

But Mori Ogai is a very important part of "this story". He is the mentor, bodyguard, beacon and monitoring prepared by Osamu Dazai who wrote the script for the "Savior", and he is to ensure that everything can be staged according to the "script". The most important person.

To do the above, Mori Ogai must stand at the closest place to the "Savior" and have enough influence on it-that is to say, don't say that when Alice crossed, Nakahara had not yet been "savior" "Fry" out.Even if Dazai Ogai and Mori Ogai could catch Chuya and feed it to Alice's [Shen Luo Vientiane] with the help of Zellich, and make a female version of Gravity, they would never do so.

The reason is very simple.Even if you are dressed as the Central Plains, you still know most of the plot, why don't you want to stay in the idiot Leibo Street and wait for Mori Ogai to pick you up and go back to work?

At least Alice will definitely not.

- So, this is a paradox.

This was Alice's first reaction.But then, her expression changed.

"I see." She said slowly.

——This is not only not a paradox, but even, this is one of the reasons why Osamu Dazai chose Mori Ogai as an accomplice.

"...[All things in all directions] cannot be regarded as a real supernatural ability. To put it bluntly, it is just a certain manifestation of the origin of [Fusion], a name given by the rules of the main world."

[Everything in the World] does not have an "effect" by itself.Its initial state is equivalent to an empty water glass or blender.What takes effect is the supernatural ability fused by it.

You pour hot water into the water glass, it becomes a glass of hot water, and then put milk powder, it becomes hot milk.If it is poured into coffee, it becomes a milk coffee.It is only practical after it has been fused with a certain ability.

"Therefore, in order to activate [All Things in the Universe], and in order for me to be able to protect myself, at least not casually die in the chaos of Yokohama, I must first have some kind of ability."

——"Using [Benevolence] to obtain a certain supernatural ability to protect oneself" and "Need to use [Book] to replace a certain character to obtain a place in the main world" are actually two different things.Add in the words "Mori Ogai needs to be the mentor of 'Savior'" and that's three things.

"But if the ability I acquire is too weak, it is absolutely impossible for me to trust Mori Ogai. And if the ability I acquire is too strong enough to give me the confidence to face Mori Ogai, it is even more impossible for me to have a relationship with him intersection."

——However, Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai, the group of "main creators" in front of her, turned these three into one thing.

"So, the best way for me to trust Mori Ogai and be willing to bind him. It's not to let him control me..."

Alice looked up.

"...but let me think that I can control him..."

Although there are people like Atsushi Nakajima who can't master their own supernatural powers at the beginning, for most supernatural power users in "Wen Ye", supernatural powers are no different from running and jumping. Not too much.At most, it's just complaining that all kinds of troubles are too restrictive or too weak to be of much use-you may not be able to trust another person, but you will leave because you can't jump high enough, run fast enough or your hands often shake Fear or be wary of your legs and hands, do you think they will harm you?

Of course it is impossible.Because it's your brain that manipulates them, and it's your will that commands them.The fact that Nakajima decided to use [Dirty] meant that he was ready to accept the consequences. Even Atsushi Nakajima would not be killed by the tiger he turned into.

However, [VitaSexualis] is very rare, almost completely independent of the humanoid ability that exists outside the owner.

Mori Ogai showed a smile that could even be described as gratified.

"[VitaSexualis] is a very complicated technique. Even, it may be more complicated than the 'compilation' of [Color Book]. After all, the resurrected doll in [Color Book] is based on the existence of the original owner—although I don’t know What is the principle of reading memory from a corpse. [VitaSexualis] is to some extent created out of nothing. If you use Alice as an analogy with something you are familiar with, it is like programming an AI from scratch with 0 and 1.”

So since Mori Ogai can "program" his "Alice", of course he can "program" other things.So he programmed a "self", and all the characteristics - such as being able to share Alice's memory, being able to share her senses, being able to perceive her thoughts synchronously, and even "chatting" in consciousness, were also "programmed". "Come out of the settings.

It's not such a big deal.After all, the world’s tolerance for the upper limit of supernatural powers is unbelievably high—compared to [Colorful Painting Collection] or [Longyan Between], which have been used for comparison, can destroy a city in minutes or kill hundreds of people overnight. , can be called the existence of the anti-city treasure, [VitaSexualis] can only be praised as "fine micro-manipulation".

But that's it, it fits all the needs.

【VitaSexualis】Combined with 【Sexualis】, Mori Ogai successfully bound himself to Alice.And Alice is neither a researcher of supernatural powers nor the original owner of [Vita Sexualis]. As a time traveler who has never even read the original work, let alone modify it, she didn't even say "I need to study this called [Vita Sexualis] The consciousness of what is the specific ability of the

So, in the case that Alice did not perform any operations subjectively...

"[Everywhere]..." Alice said, "It's just a complete copy of everything you prepared..."

"Then, you just need to use the [book] to let me replace Mori Ogai, rationalize the 'past', and then stuff the [book] into my body. Seal this memory."

——Then she woke up again, and became Alice with blond hair and blue eyes.

"...This is, the optimal solution..."

"Exactly." Mori Ogai slightly bent his eyes, "Alice, I didn't lie to you. Right now, I'm just a humanoid with the logic, emotion, memory and way of thinking of 'Mori Ogai' It's just a different ability."

——It is precisely because of this that he can ensure that he can do what Mori Ogai wants to do.

"Look, Alice, this is the best solution." He repeated Alice's words.

"It just takes a little sacrifice."

The man with black hair and red eyes laughed, as if the one he said was sacrificed was not himself.

***

Yes, this is the best solution.

"I really... all, understand..."

Alice muttered to herself, this time, she really understood.

She has already remembered all the memories that were [sealed], and she has understood all the details of this story.

Louisa's time travel is an inevitable accident based on probability, while her time travel is a deliberate rescue drama.

From the very beginning, nothing turned into blond Alice when she closed her eyes.

The real truth is the shock when a magician appeared in my living room, the absurdity when I was dragged into the "Two-dimensional" world for no reason, the shock when I was told "Please go and save the world", and the shock when I saw a man called Mori Ou. When the man outside suddenly shot himself, his brain went blank.

——Then, someone pointed a gun at him suddenly, and the seriously injured man grabbed his wrist tightly, demanding that he use a strange ability that he had never heard of before.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the back of the head, and the seemingly slender hands were pressed on the shoulders with such force that they almost crushed the shoulder blades. The 22-year-old black-haired woman was forced to half-kneel on the icy floor, her right wrist was almost crushed, and there was blood splashed on her face and body—it was warm and vivid. blood.

The bright red that surgeons are very familiar with seems extremely strange at this moment.

What was she thinking at that time?

Probably "Damn, am I dreaming?! Crazy?! This group of people have something wrong with their brains?! What kind of crazy dream is this?!".

What Mark Twain said is indeed a wise saying. Reality does not need logic. It is so absurd and fantastical that it is like a landslide.

So fucking funny!

But what's even more funny is that the next moment, her hand almost uncontrollably burst into an orange-yellow brilliance.

WTF? !

"What the hell is this?! What do you want me to do?!"

"Save the world."

"What kind of human talk!!"

"To put it simply. Miss Mori, we need you to die for this world voluntarily at the right time."

The woman raised her head abruptly, her pupils were wide open, and the strong shock made her look pale and embarrassed.But at this moment, her voice became extremely cold, and the dark amber eyes, which were relatively light pigmented for Asians, ignited a flame of intense absurdity and passion.

"Then you might as well shoot now!" She sneered.

God save the world!She thought, who the hell would die for a world that has nothing to do with it? !

***

Yeah, who would die for a world that has nothing to do with it?

At least Alice will definitely not.

She is just an ordinary person, maybe she is better at reading, she learns things a little faster, and her adaptability is above the average.But she is not a virgin, and even her character is not gentle and enthusiastic.Because of her family environment, she believes in order under power more than words like justice or sacrifice.There's the average level of empathy and the average level of adult indifference.She has never been polished into a submissive look by society, so she still has a bit of strength and rebellion in her bones.

Moreover, she was not so resentful—she had seen many deaths on the operating table, and "death" had been stripped of its mysterious and frightening veil in front of her.At the same time, in her young life, there is nothing very important that can give her a firm belief in "living anyway".

So when faced with such absurd "requests", her thoughts were very simple and direct.

Who would die for a world that has nothing to do with it?Anyway, I won't.If everyone is going to die, you might as well kill me now.

As for what to do with this world that is about to be destroyed—not to mention other worlds, even in the same world, people are dying in every corner of the earth all the time.You go to the street and grab someone randomly, and tell him, "If you die now, a war-torn village in the African continent can be saved." Do you think they will agree?

***

But what if, under the deliberate arrangement of the "creators", you have fetters with this world?

When in this world there are family members you can trust and depend on, companions you can entrust to your back, elders you respect and admire, teenagers you wish to hold in your hands, and children you miss so much that your heart is soft as soon as you think about it ...

When there are cities in this world where you have lived for more than ten years, careers you have worked hard for, subordinates who trust and admire you, and people who have been included in your protection circle without knowing it, even your name Strangers who don't know...

When you are willing to spend enough money to squander your entire life for these familiar or unfamiliar people, when you are willing to bear heavy responsibilities and risks for these people, when you personally live your life in this city and in this world. a member of...

When such a world is about to be destroyed, and you are the only one who can save it...

Would you die for it?
