The Magician's Skyfall

Akamatsu Ryu looked at Osamu Dazai in surprise.

Originally, he thought that if he helped Osamu Dazai check his body and try to lift the curse of eternal life, he could just exchange for the magic seal in Osamu Dazai's hand, which was a barely equal deal.

Akamatsu Ryu is a person who follows the principle of equivalent exchange.

At first Osamu Dazai used the magic seal as bait to let Nakahara Chuya plot against Akamatsu Ryu.

But that Akamatsu Ryu was not a disadvantage, he got back the memory of the past, and even snapped Osamu Dazai, so this matter has passed in Akamatsu Ryu.

It's just that Akamatsu Ryu went to Yokohama to investigate the situation, and was almost arrested by a special device in the chief's office. This incident made Akamatsu Ryu very annoyed, and he decided to return the money, so there was a wave of flat pushes last night.

Akamatsu Ryu double-killed Osamu Dazai and Nakahara Chuya, the hatred was wiped out, and after harvesting a book page, Akamatsu Ryu generously helped Osamu Dazai with a physical examination.

But Akamatsu Ryu never expected Dazai Osamu to say that he didn't mind immortality, and in turn asked Akamatsu Ryu for conditions.

It was Dazai Osamu who asked Akamatsu Ryu to lift the curse, but now Akamatsu Ryu needs to get back the magic seal from Dazai Osamu.

In an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum between the two changed.

Akamatsu Ryu's expression became strange.

"You said, you don't mind living forever?"

Akamatsu asked Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai nodded with a smile, he looked at the person in front of him with great interest, and he was in a good mood: "Yes, according to what you said, only when you are alive can you meet interesting people and things. I think the experience last night was very interesting. If you die, you won't meet."

Akamatsu Ryu can't understand Dazai Osamu's brain circuit.

Osamu Dazai thought the experience last night was interesting?What is there to be happy about being double-killed... Ah!

Chi Songliu suddenly thought of something, and he said slowly: "Apart from you looking for death, am I the first to kill you?"

Osamu Dazai's smile remained the same, even softer: "Yes, you gave me a different experience."

Akamatsu felt tired.

Did he inadvertently provoke a pervert?

Oh, that's not right, it's me in another world who is making trouble for me, referred to as me cheating myself.

But from another point of view, Osamu Dazai has reached another height. His only enemy is himself, and no one else can defeat him.

To be honest, this is awesome.

Osamu Dazai wanted to save Sakunosuke Oda, so he did it, and he succeeded, and even ended the whole world.

Such a Dazai Osamu indeed has the right to be proud.

Then Osamu Dazai found out that he, who was so awesome, had been plotted against by someone, so it was only logical that he wanted to get back on the scene.

Akamatsu Ryu finally figured out Dazai Osamu's brain circuit in front of him, and he said in an affirmative tone: "I see, if you beat me one day, you will die happily."

Osamu Dazai thought about it seriously, and he replied: "I also want to die happily now, but because of you, my ideals are shattered. Whether I win you or achieve my wish, I can only turn to you." ?”

Chi Songliu sneered: "It's still the same sentence, I'm not him, so I won't spoil you, let alone follow you. It's none of my business if your ideals are shattered? If you lose, you can only say that you are inferior to others. If you want me to help, then offer the price and reward."

Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Yeah, it's because I knew you thought so, so I did it directly, but it failed, what a pity."

The two looked at each other, looked away at the same time, and scolded each other in their hearts: this bitch.

The next second, the two sighed at the same time.

——Why can I guess what he thinks?

But after hearing the other party's sigh, Dazai Osamu and Akamatsu Liu subconsciously looked at each other, resentful again, feeling sorry for their familiarity with each other.

Akamatsu said weakly: "Dazai, ask yourself, don't you think it's boring to put all your energy on me? There are so many joys in life, and you even saved Oda Sakunosuke, you don't want to be with him Be friends?"

Osamu Dazai said indifferently: "Be a friend? Heh, and invite him to my wedding with my true love as a friend?"

Chi Songliu raised his hand to cover his face, feeling as if he was throwing a stone at his own foot.

He complained in a low voice: "You are talking nonsense yourself."

Osamu Dazai took a deep breath and took the initiative to let go of the topic of Sakunosuke Oda.

He asked Chimatsu Liu: "What about you? I would like to ask, you said that life has many pleasures, what are the pleasures?"

Osamu Dazai looked at Akamatsu Ryu with great interest: "Don't you think the people around you are boring? The development of things can be seen at a glance, and the whole world is rotten. Do you think this kind of life is interesting?"

The answer given by Mr. K from the different world is that he is bored with this world, but has expectations for the future.

What about the magician Virgilaire in front of him?

Akamatsu Ryu gave his own answer: "The essence of magic is deception. Mystery only exists in the past. Magicians are a group of people who bet on the future, deceive the present world, and try their best to pursue the past."

"People's perception of time is judged according to their own growth and changes. The embodiment of time in people is a forward, one-way ticket that cannot be returned."

"But for a magician, time freezes, even goes backwards."

Speaking of this, Akamatsu Ryu's eyes showed bright brilliance and eagerness: "When everyone can only move forward, we magicians rely on our own strength to retreat. We are trying to return to the original and true meaning."

"Even if this is destined to be an impossible and illusory dream, such a dream and life must be more interesting than most people's lives, right?"

Akamatsu said enthusiastically: "The essence of magic is to conceal mystery. The word mystery comes from the Greek word closed, which means concealment, concealment, and closure. In other words, the phrase [mystery is mystery] is a closed loop in itself." .”

"And I am fortunate to wander in it, to explore the past of the whole world, and even stay in the past completely. Such a life is of course meaningful."

Having said that, Akamatsu Ryu raised his eyes to Dazai Osamu.

He is smiling, bright and with a strong color that signifies vitality. He is obviously looking for the past that has disappeared and died, but Chimatsu Liu is full of a strong sense of life. He said: "If you I feel that it is difficult to live, and it is too boring to move forward, so I might as well try to look at the past."

Osamu Dazai murmured, "In the past?"

"Yeah, you can easily see through the future, so can you analyze the past?"

The voice of Chisongliu seems to come from far away: "Do you know how many secrets are buried in this land? Do you know that 100 years, 300 years, 500 years, or even thousands of years ago, there are many secrets in this land? what happened?"

"What was the world like in the age of the ancient god-kings? How graceful were the ancient heroes and great men? What was the more distant age of the gods like?"

Akasong Liu chuckled lightly, with a relaxed look on his face. He said: "The magic of my family is awakening and activation. I can learn about the past history from some ancient fragments and materials. Sometimes I can perceive those emotions and historical fragments, and even produce some This kind of hatred was not born a hundred years ago, and I was able to witness the annoyance and regret of the demeanor of the sages."

Osamu Dazai looked at Akamatsu Ryu quietly, and clearly distinguished the difference between the two Akamatsu Ryu.

One is going forward and the other is going backward, but no matter which one they are trying to find the meaning of life, they have never been lost.

After a long time, Osamu Dazai said in a calm tone: "In other words, you are actually chasing the bubbles of things that have passed away. Your eyes are on the past that has disappeared and died."

K from another world is looking for hope in despair.

"You are looking for new life in death."

Obviously it is an ancient legend and the past that has been annihilated, but when Akamatsu Ryu mentions those pasts, his body is shining with a strong color of life. Such a strong difference makes Akamatsu Ryu look extraordinarily bright and dazzling.

Akamatsu Ryu took it for granted: "After death, green grass will grow, and life will return to the earth, and life will be born from the earth. Isn't this a matter of course?"

Osamu Dazai smiled subconsciously. He relaxed his body and leaned against the table, and there was more expectation in his tone that he didn't realize: "Then tell me, after I die, will I leave anything for this world?"

——Is such a useless and shameful existence like me, even if it dies, would it still be a little bit useful?

Akamatsu Ryu gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, the weight of life is the same."

Osamu Dazai asked persistently, "Why do you say that?"

Akamatsu Ryu pointed to the magic note placed on the workbench, with Akamatsu Ryu's family crest on the cover.

"Have you seen that? It represents the awakening magic of my family. I awaken the remnants of the past. I analyze the existence that has passed away. As a living person, I witness the history left by the dead existence. Of course I am qualified to judge."

Osamu Dazai gasped for breath, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

For a moment, he really had a strong feeling of being alive, as if his own existence was affirmed.

"...What arrogance."

Osamu Dazai opened his eyes, a soft smile flashed by, his long eyelashes blocked the look in his eyes, and he said lazily: "You speak so nicely, but you are actually just Ango Sakaguchi."

No, that's not the case, Osamu Dazai said that he disliked Akamatsu-ryu, but he had the exact opposite idea in his heart.

——Even if I think I am a meaningless wild dog who doesn’t care if I die, after I die, the person who will really judge the meaning of my existence is this arrogant bastard in front of me.

Akamatsu said dissatisfied: "Don't talk nonsense, Ango can only read the information, I can make Cannian come back to life."

This is what he meant by finding life in death.

Osamu Dazai deliberately showed disdain and suspicion, and said, "Really? Then let's reach an agreement."

Akamatsu Ryu was startled, and he raised his eyes to look at Osamu Dazai.

"Leave aside the magic seal and the curse of eternal life, let's get to know it again."

Osamu Dazai walked briskly to Ryu Akamatsu: "I'm Melos from the Far East. I came to London for a visit, but unfortunately encountered turmoil in London. I need a qualified bodyguard and tour guide."

Akamatsu said in surprise, "You want to entrust me?"

Osamu Dazai smiled and nodded: "I heard from Fren that you have traveled to many places, and you should have been a mercenary, right?"

He lowered his eyes, hiding the dark tide in his heart.

Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand to Akamatsuru, with gentle eyes, as if I am a good person and very obedient: "Do you want to accept my commission? I promise not to cause trouble."

He never takes the initiative to hold on to anything, because what he has is destined to disappear, and death will take everything away.

But, even in the deserted land of death and disappearance, there will still be people wandering here to explore, witness and record everything that happened, and even feel grateful for it.

Osamu Dazai thought that he would fall in love in another world before, so he must have been bitten by a dog.

But now he suddenly discovered that there was a reason why he stayed in the world because of this person.

Even though their experiences are different, the essence of Osamu Dazai is the same. They are all cowards, and they all cower in the distance, cautiously daring not to approach this world.

Then a person appeared, through this person, Osamu Dazai felt the throbbing of life, although it was small, it already made his cold body hot.

Osamu Dazai happily accepted Maka's law, as timid as he wanted to try it.

After all, I already have my own success.

He exiled Chisong with bold words: "I am very rich, and I bought your time for the next year!"

The author has something to say:

Leader Zai: With all due respect, all the Zai here are rubbish!What onion to grill?Wouldn't it be okay to just buy it back? !
