I inherited the legacy of the crumb boss

"who I am?"

"Where do I come from?"

"Why do I exist?"

Philosophical questions like these have haunted human minds since childhood.

But the situation of Dazai Osamu is slightly different. He is not thinking about his own existence, but thinking about the existence of this world.

"What is this world?"

"Where did the world come from?"

For a long time, Osamu Dazai was deeply uninterested in this world, this decayed and rusty world, where nothing of value existed.

Since he was young, when adults thought that a child like him could not understand the cruelty of this world, Osamu Dazai had already glimpsed the existence of the king of ghosts from people's fear.

In just a hundred years, she has already become the embodiment of the greatest horror and nightmare in this world.

He heard that the king of ghosts defeated the ruler of Takamahara 100 years ago, and imprisoned the unreachable "sun" in the fortress of the "royal capital", which completely plunged the country into boundless darkness.He also heard that Gao Tianyuan's new ruler distributed the power of gods to humans, trying to get humans to join the ranks against the king of ghosts...

However, a considerable number of human beings chose to join the camp of the King of Ghosts.

When he was a child, Osamu Dazai was taken in for a period of time by people who rebelled against the Demon King Organization, or to be more precise, he deliberately let these people take him in.

At that time, Twelve Ghost Moon's investigations of such organizations were extremely strict, and people who resisted the organization walked on thin ice. When they mentioned the King of Demons, their tone and expression were both fearful and hateful, but Dazai Osamu, who was watching everything, could hardly bear it. Laugh out loud.

In his opinion, the trembling look of those people is simply ridiculous.

Dazai Osamu is a "heterogeneous" among human beings.But this does not mean that he is the same as those who surrender to the ghost king.

His heart is neither with humans nor with ghosts.

He originally thought so.

Until Osamu Dazai got something, through which he learned the essence of this world and the "root" of this world.

This world was born from "books".This is the answer he found closest to the "root of this world".

After getting the book, Osamu Dazai became more interested in this world for the first time. He left the resistance organization and came to Yokohama alone from Aomori in the northern part of Honshu Island. He came to find someone.

A black market doctor named Mori Ogai.

Osamu Dazai knew that in the near future, there might be such a possibility that a black market doctor named Mori Ogai would become the personal doctor of the leader of Port Mafia, and then he would replace the leader and become the head of Port Mafia. new ruler.

This is the possibility with the highest frequency among thousands of possible developments and in thousands of parallel worlds.

The "book" told him many possibilities.

But Osamu Dazai failed to find any information about the "King of Demons of Yokohama" from the "book".

Among the thousands of worlds that are similar or different from this world, there is only this one world, only this one Yokohama, and the unknown "King of Demons" still exists in this world.

——So, where did she come from?

Even the "book" closest to the origin of this world could not give Osamu Dazai the answer.

He had an idea—go see her.

Go meet her in person, see the "King of Demons" with your own eyes, and if you do that, you will definitely see something very interesting.Osamu Dazai thought, maybe her existence itself is a kind of resistance to "this world".

Things that shouldn't exist have appeared in this world, and even become the power to occupy the entire world, nibbling away the things that originally belonged to this world.If this continues and she is allowed to continue to develop, perhaps some unexpected changes will take place in this world.

Osamu Dazai boldly guessed.

After seeing the king of ghosts, he thought, she is indeed a very terrible and cruel "king".

Even though she didn't have the blue face and fangs as in the legend, she didn't eat flesh and blood in front of them, and she didn't even show the slightest displeasure from the beginning to the end.

She has always maintained a gentle, smiling expression.

Although he appeared in front of them in the form of a human being, his every move seemed like a real human being, but Dazai Osamu saw something more real through this false human skin.

This is a special ability belonging to Osamu Dazai. He seems to be born with the ability to see through others.Osamu Dazai stared at the girl-like king of ghosts, he didn't see any human traits in her - she had a cold and resolute alien heart, but she used it as a weak human girl The pose is almost perfectly covered.

Before entering the fortress, Osamu Dazai specifically asked one of the lower strings a question-whether the king hates humans.

From Hazuruichi's mouth, he got the answer "The king likes humans very much".

--is fake.

The moment he saw her, Osamu Dazai came up with his own answer.This is not to say that one of the lower strings deliberately lied to deceive him, but that even Twelve Ghost Moon, who is closest to her, and her subordinate who is rumored to be the most trusted by her, can't figure out what she really thinks.

There is no doubt that she is a very qualified ruler.Osamu Dazai was so good that he almost wanted to praise her.

The premise is that the king of ghosts did not watch his back when he left.

He felt a cold gaze behind him.

The topmost layer of the skeleton, the cage of the sky.

After watching Osamu Dazai and the others leave, Irouchi walked up the stairs without saying a word, and returned to this room.

She seems to have a special feeling for this place, as long as she stays in Kaisai, she will hardly leave this room.

When Tong Mo came to report to her, she could often be seen opening the window and leaning slightly out of the window. The wind in the darkness blew her wide sleeves, and her posture was as soft and graceful as if her wings were about to fly.

In a trance, Tong Mo suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never seen her real appearance.

The ghost king maintained this girlish posture for too long, so long that people's image of her was almost definite, and they would never think about what was hidden under the ghost king's girly skin.

Even Tong Mo almost forgot how she used to be.

Although what exists in Tong Mo's memory, maybe it's just her disguised appearance.

——When the previous ghost king was still in power, she still knelt at the feet of that arrogant ghost king, leaning against him in a weak and submissive posture, showing pleading eyes for him.

In the past years, she seems to have been doing incomprehensible behaviors for a long time.

Tong Mo stood at the door, but his consciousness went further and further away, as if he had returned to the long past. He stood at the entrance of Infinite City and saw her standing by the window waiting alone.

There are rooms and windows everywhere in the infinite city, and the distorted space makes those rooms overlap, which is a place without any worldly scenery.

But she is always like this, even if the scenery that can be seen outside the window is just the monotonous infinite city space created by Naruto.

Suddenly, Tong Mo, who was lost in memory, heard her voice——

"I already know the location of the book. "

The "book" was a thing that the ghost king told them about its existence some time ago. She didn't explain what the function of the "book" was, nor did she tell them why they wanted to find the book.

This made Tong Mo feel that the so-called "book" might be just like the "blue flower of the other side" that the former ghost king was looking for, a fictional thing with no real existence at all.

The former ghost king pursued this illusory thing until his death, and the present ghost king seems to be following in his footsteps.Thinking of such an ending, Tong Mo couldn't help but feel sad for her.

He remembered the time when he was still the patriarch of the Eternal Bliss Cult. Those people who were immersed in misfortune and pain knelt down in front of him one after another, praying to him for illusory wishes, eager to go to the bliss that did not exist illusion.

Thinking of such a past, Tong Mo felt that the current Ghost King was just as pitiful as them.

She, too, fell into human fantasy and became a pathetic creature indistinguishable from a human being.

but--

"Put away your meaningless thoughts."

The ghost king interrupted his thoughts with a cold voice. She turned her face away and stared at Tong Mo's face. Her eyes were shining brightly in the darkness, even surpassing the brightness of the sun. She was the most dazzling existence in the whole world.

"I am different from that kind of thing. I know exactly what I am doing, and I am more aware of what I want to pursue. For thousands of years, I have never pursued meaningless things. Everything I want, I What I desire to have, ends up being mine.”

"Survival", "Love", "Power" and "Power", she has always been "acquiring", and she will always only "acquire" in her life.

She glanced at Tong Mo coldly, "Don't confuse me with those things you think."

Tong Mo stared at her quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed, a naive and childish smile appeared on his face, as lively as playing with the king of ghosts in front of him.

"Yes~"

Tong Mo's tone rose, "It's the subordinate's fault to speculate on your thoughts without authorization, but my concern for you is very real, because everyone is making mistakes, and I found that no matter how powerful an existence is, it seems that it will There is something to be afraid of..."

"Heaven" was afraid that powerful monsters would threaten his rule, so he gave an order to encircle and suppress.The former ghost king was afraid that the inheritor of Breath of the Sun would threaten his safety, so he sent Twelve Ghost Moons to kill him...

And the king of ghosts in front of him seemed to be afraid of something.

She didn't say the word "scared", nor did she show a "scared" expression, but Tong Mo had an intuition, and he felt that his intuition was not wrong.

After meeting the human from the port Mafia, her breath changed slightly.

Even when she faced Gao Tianyuan's ruler, Yueyomi Zun again, her breath did not change.She still maintained the calmness of the past, and stuffed the new Lord of Gao Tianyuan into the cage.

But now, Tong Mo caught a wonderful reaction.

In the next second, he was thrown out of the lock - from the opened window.
