i lied to the whole world

"Are you plotting something again?" Osamu Dazai said plainly.

"Oh? Why do you think so?" Orihara Lin also chuckled lightly.

"Because you are a person who longs for chaos from the bottom of your heart, and you have been like this since you came to Yokohama." Dazai's voice was very calm, "Selling information that others can't get, or even creating opportunities to sell your information yourself, isn't it? Is that what you've always done?"

"Hahaha, indeed, so it is inferred that I covered his escape to sell you a wave of information, so why don't I sell it directly to the government?"

Osamu Dazai did not answer. Since the resurrection of the dead, the chaos in Yokohama has begun to emerge. More and more suspicious tourists have come to Yokohama for "tourism".

If Orihara Rin also reveals clues about his resurrection ability now, it will definitely become the hottest focus.

There are even many people guessing who he will sell this first-hand information to.

Osamu Dazai said softly: "If it were you, you would definitely choose the path that maximizes your benefits. You called me because you thought that through me, you would get even more chaos."

This is a conspiracy.

Indeed, Dazai guessed right.

Orihara Rin is also preparing for the next lie of the fusion world, and just as Karasawa Ryu was not able to reveal all the information at once as a fortune teller, Orihara Rin, as an information house, should be a carrier of information, not a Creator.

And he needs to distance himself from Litao, at least for the time being, it is best not to expose the connection between his vests other than transactions.

The intelligence house helped the resurrection ability user, this is definitely not a white gang, he has other purposes.At least let other people have this understanding.

I, calculate myself.jpg

Moreover, he needs an absolutely perfect excuse to slowly shake out the next lie.

So he took a fancy to Dazai, the reason is very simple, he is very smart, very smart, the world's top smart man.

He must be able to see through his 'script' and solve the final mystery.

It just so happened that he also had information that Dazai was interested in.

Orihara Lin has already handed him the choice, should he step into the vortex of this conspiracy, or just retreat?

"Osamu Dazai," the voice on the other side of the phone was vainly low, "You are very smart, so I bet you can find what I want."

"You also have people who want to be resurrected."

Dazai gasped for breath.

In the next second, the light in his eyes seemed to be swallowed by an unknown darkness, as if the Dazai from Mafia had returned: "Do you want to die?"

"Huh ha ha ha, forget it, I haven't witnessed the end yet, I don't want to leave the stage so early, so I won't say the name, and I will send you the location of the person with the resurrection ability."

"It's really dangerous, the intelligence office." Dazai Osamu clicked his tongue, "Help one family to sell the other, and you will die in the end without a place to bury you."

"The insidious point is mutual, ex-mafia cadre-san." Orihara Rin also sneered, "As for the matter after death, let's talk about it after that, even if those people tap dance on my grave, it's none of my business gone."

"I just need to live in the present."

After hanging up the phone, Osamu Dazai walked out of the alley, looked at the sunshine and the busy traffic outside, and stretched himself.

"Dazai-san."

"Dazai."

Two voices appeared behind him, Osamu Dazai turned his head and saw Atsushi Nakajima and Kunikida chasing after him: "What's wrong?"

Kunikida: "What's the matter... Ranpo-san wants us to follow you, where are you going next?"

Luanbu even counts this.Osamu Dazai sighed: "Okay, let's go together then."

Osamu Dazai took only Nakajima Atsushi and Kunikida, and the trio set off.Kunikida almost threw Dazai off the train when he heard about their purpose.

"A person with resurrection ability?! Just a few of us?"

"It's just to explore the way~" Dazai tried to pass the test in a cute way, "Is there anything wrong with it, I will notify the government when we confirm that this is accurate news."

Kunikida was silent: "Is that really all that is?"

Osamu Dazai looked at his serious expression, put away his laughing expression, and said indifferently: "That's all, the news I got may not be completely accurate."

Kunikida frowned, still feeling something was wrong.

"After all, it's the intelligence office that just played them, and the officials won't believe it so easily." Dazai made an excuse at random, "Anyway, there is a high probability that we will be entrusted to take the lead in the end. It doesn't make any difference."

"Really." Kunikida nodded, reluctantly accepting the reason.

But Atsushi Nakajima, who was listening on the sidelines, felt a little strange. Mr. Dazai didn't seem to be very interested in the Supernatural Secret Service Division. Would he really be so 'kind' to help them?

Of course he would not know that Dazai had subtle selfish intentions in leading people to find the revived ability user in advance.

He has a question, and he must know the answer, so he even steps into the trap of the intelligence house.

So the three-person team of the detective agency appeared in Aoye District, Tokyo.

This is also the position in the information that Orihara Rin also sold to the detective agency.

Compared with other areas in Tokyo, Aono District is less crowded. It may be because of its geographical location, it is far away from the city center, and the residents have a more intense life style.

Asking pedestrians on the side of the road, it is easy to find out the location they are looking for.

"However, it seems that it has been converted into a doll hall recently." The aunts who came out to buy vegetables said so.

"It's because the pottery business can't continue."

"By the way, I haven't seen the old woman in the pottery shop for a long time."

"Ah, that, I heard that she has passed away."

"Hey, who is inheriting that shop now? Grandson?"

"It seems to be true. The grandson who lived in other places came back. It seems that he took a break from school and came back specially to inherit the store."

The aunts sighed and sighed on this topic for a long time, and Atsushi Nakajima, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, thanked him and retreated immediately.

"Dazai-san, I found it. It should be at the end of this street." Atsushi Nakajima ran excitedly with a map, but found Osamu Dazai standing alone under a huge sacred tree.Note 1

The sun shines through the shade of the sacred tree to form light spots, and shines brightly on Dazai Osamu's slightly raised handsome face. The wind blows gently, and even the environment becomes quiet.

Atsushi Nakajima's voice became smaller unconsciously, and he tried to walk as lightly as possible.

"Ah, Atsushi." Osamu Dazai came back to his senses at a distance of three meters from Atsushi Nakajima, with a smile on his face, "Did you find out the location?"

"Well, the resurrection ability user should be at the end of the street ahead." Atsushi Nakajima said.

"Alright then, let's meet Kunikida when he comes back."

"Okay...that, Dazai-san..."

"what happened?"

Atsushi Nakajima hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should ask: "Are you unhappy?"

Osamu Dazai was startled: "Why do you ask that?"

"No, it's just a feeling."

Osamu Dazai was silent for a while, and did not answer Atsushi Nakajima's question. At this time, Kunikida also came back.

While in the car, Dazai Osamu shared the information sent to him by Orihara Rinya to Kunikida. After getting off the car, Kunikida contacted Tianshan Hanabou, while Nakajima Atsushi was inquiring about the news of the locals.

The three set off towards the location of the pottery shop, and Kunikida shared the information he had investigated while walking.

"There is a pottery shop here, which seems to have been around a long time ago, and the previous owner was an old lady."

"Ah, the aunts also mentioned it just now." Atsushi Nakajima said.

"Then, our target is the grandson of the old lady. As the only heir of the old lady, he inherited the current pottery shop, but it is said that it was converted into a puppet hall because of insufficient income." Kunikida said, and found a piece from his pocket. Stacked files, "This is the photo and information of the person with the resurrection ability."

Osamu Dazai took it and flipped through it, and the first thing he saw was the photo on the document photo.

The person in the photo has long black hair, and his unshaven appearance has a kind of indistinguishable beauty. If he didn't look at the gender as a man, he might have mistaken it at first glance.

15 is old.

Atsushi Nakajima was taken aback, he was younger than him, he should be a middle school student at this age...

"The target's name is Haneda City. He lived with his grandmother since he was a child. After he was 10 years old, he was taken by his parents to live with him. He went to school by the way, but he didn't get along well with others in school. Then he was diagnosed with mental illness and was suspended from school. , and was sent to a mental hospital by his parents for treatment."

"Mental illness?"

Kunikida tweeted: "At the beginning, the symptoms were just sight phobia, but it is said that later, he also had symptoms of auditory and visual hallucinations, so he was sent for treatment. He was not discharged from the hospital until he was 15 years old, and there was no news. His parents divorced when he was 13, and now they each have their own families abroad, and then at the age of 15, after his grandmother died, Haneda City escaped from the mental hospital and disappeared for a month, a month later It was only then that he appeared and went through the inheritance procedures through a lawyer and inherited this pottery shop."

Atsushi Nakajima was stunned, this... this experience was indeed a bit miserable.

Osamu Dazai thought of another point. You must know that there are curse spirits in this world. The auditory hallucinations and visual hallucinations mentioned in the medical certificate may not really be mental illness.

"Did he inherit anything besides the pottery shop?"

"No, originally this pottery shop has fallen behind the times, and almost all the people who come to patronize are old people. After the death of the old man, the sons and daughters of foreign countries are entrusted to handle the affairs. They were not present. It is said that the old man did not What property is left behind."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head: "I see, it would cost a lot of money to convert a pottery shop into a doll shop... No wonder it was caught by the intelligence agency."

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first." Kunikida pushed his glasses seriously. Although the boy in the information was only 15 years old and had a miserable experience, he was after all the one with the resurrection ability that stirred up the whole situation in Yokohama.

and……

Kunikida thought of the military police and hostages who were seriously injured in the previous 'game', and his heart, which was originally hesitant because he was underage, became cold and hard again.

It is not yet known whether this young man is involved in it... If so, that is the object they need to be vigilant about.

After Atsushi Nakajima found out that the person with resurrection ability was the same age as him, his mood became a little complicated. Osamu Dazai was thinking about his own affairs. The three of them didn't speak a word along the way until they came to the shop.

Consistent with the information they found, the original Japanese-style pottery shop has completely turned into a Western-style doll house, which looks a bit gloomy in the setting sun.

Kunikida stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

After a while, no one answered, and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, Kunikida pushed open the door of the doll house. The moment the door was pushed open, the wind chimes hanging on the door rang crisply.

The voice seemed to wake up something, and a tired and old voice came: "Welcome."

The three of them looked inside, and saw that all they could see were densely packed dolls, some were semi-finished, some were complete, some were unclothed, and some were put on delicate skirts.

There is only one dim light in the store, coupled with various delicate dolls, it creates an effect similar to the uncanny valley, making everyone who comes in feel scalp numb.

"This store..." Nakajima Atsushi murmured, not knowing what to say, anyway, he was already thinking about going out.

Osamu Dazai looked around with great interest, and even leaned in front of some puppets to observe: "Well done, ah, please take a look."

"What... 噫!" Atsushi Nakajima raised his head, and was taken aback by surprise, because there were also various dolls hanging on the ceiling, and different from the dolls on the ground, those dolls on the ceiling were concave. All kinds of weird and distorted poses, various joints are hanging from the ceiling at angles that are impossible for the human body, and the big eyes staring straight at the people below make it hard to tell whether this is a haunted house or a puppet hall .

Kunikida ignored their nonsense and walked to the direction where the old voice came from just now. Under the dim light, he could only recognize an old woman: "Well, is Haneda Castle here?"

"What kind of doll do you want to buy?" The old lady didn't answer Kunikida's question, but asked instead. Her tone was weird and her words were stiff, as if she was uttering each word out.

"Sorry, we are not here to buy dolls. We are an armed detective agency. We came here to find Haneda City because of an important incident. Is he here?"

"What dolls do you want to buy?" the old woman continued to ask.

"..." Kunikida frowned and stepped over the puppets on the ground, and continued to approach, "That..."

After taking two steps, Kunikida stopped and took a deep breath.

He suddenly remembered where the faint sense of disobedience was. When he was inquiring about information, he had clearly seen this old man.

This old woman was clearly the previous owner of the pottery shop, and she died half a year ago.

Kunikida was suddenly attacked by an inexplicable fear in his heart, subconsciously took a step back, and put a hand on his shoulder.

Osamu Dazai calmly said: "Calm down, Kunikida, take a good look at it, this is a puppet."

Kunikida took a breath, and after calming down a little, he realized that there was something wrong with the old woman. At first glance in the dim environment, it was almost the same as the photo of the deceased old woman, but upon closer inspection, something was indeed wrong.

The first is the linking lines of the face, the different splicing traces of the joints and the human body, and the hoarse and paused voice.

All this shows that this old woman is just a puppet imitating a real person.

Atsushi Nakajima breathed a sigh of relief: "What, it turned out to be just a doll."

"This doll is made of ceramics." Dazai Osamu boldly stepped forward to feel it, and judged the material. "The organ that makes the sound is at the throat..." He said, and wanted to have a look.

"Hey, Dazai..."

"Boom-"

There was a sound from the direction of the stairs, Atsushi Nakajima's ears moved, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the stairs leading to the second floor, only to see a piece of clothes quickly disappearing.

"There is someone upstairs!" Nakajima Atsushi immediately reminded.

Hearing this, Kunikida immediately thought that the target might run away, and ran to the second floor: "Hurry up!"

As expected, there was a flurry of footsteps upstairs, and the three of them chased to the second floor, pushed away the facing room, a gust of wind blew, and papers all over the room flew, only a vague figure could be seen jumping down from the window .

"Tsk, Dun, let's chase after him!"

"Ok!"

Kunikida and Atsushi Nakajima quickly turned around and chased them out.

After a minute or two, the room returned to calm. The boy wearing a mask hid in the closet and didn't dare to breathe. The figure who jumped off the building just now was just a decoy he made with dolls, which would lead Kunikida and the others to other directions.

He was very cautious, until 5 minutes later when there was still no movement outside, Litao carefully pushed open the door of the closet, and was relieved when he saw that there was no one on the second floor.

"Hi~" Dazai Osamu came out of Litao's blind spot, and greeted him with a smile, "You are the one with the resurrection ability, right?"

"You!" Litao was taken aback, and almost wanted to go back into the closet again, but reason told him that it would be useless even if he went back, so he could only grab the closet door and look at Dazai vigilantly, "You are also with them." Is it?"

"Yeah~" Osamu Dazai stood on the spot and observed the boy with great interest.

Kunikida and Atsushi Nakajima might be fooled by the trick just now, but Dazai's eyes were on the overall situation of the room from the moment he entered, including the unnaturally trembling wardrobe door, and the stiff performance of the doll when he jumped out of the window.

At this moment, Kunikida and Nakajima Atsushi, who realized after a minute or two, also came back, blocking the door to prevent Rito from escaping, and came to catch the turtle.

Litao looked at the difference in numbers between the enemy and us, and was about to jump out of the window to escape, but found that Dazai had blocked the window at some point.

He said helplessly: "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

"Don't pretend, we are here for you. You are the one who revived the daughter of the group boss on the white whale." Kunikida said, while staring closely at Ritao. The other party has black hair in the data, but Now it is indeed white hair, long hair to the waist, wearing a mask until now and refuses to take it off.

The boy's voice was buzzing: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's been said that your information has been betrayed by the intelligence house, so it's useless to pretend to be stupid now." Kunikida put on a black face, "Even wearing a mask is useless, do you know how much impact all this has caused?"

"I knew that intelligence dealer was unreliable." The young man's tone broke down, as if he was not surprised to be betrayed, he raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I surrender, I am indeed the one with resurrection ability, you have all chased me here , I won’t run away, so you don’t have to tie me up?”

"You take off the mask first," Kunikida said.

"Um..." The young man visibly shook, clutching the mask and refusing to let go, shaking his head violently, "No, no, I can't use my true face to talk to people."

"But how do we know if you are the real person if you don't take off the mask?" Kunikida asked.

The boy still shook his head: "No, only this..."

At this time, a figure suddenly and quietly appeared behind Litao, and snatched the mask from him with lightning speed.

The moment the mask was taken off, one could even see the young man's pretty face full of surprise, his eyebrows were so beautiful that he could not distinguish between male and female, and his cat eyes were wide open. The most eye-catching thing was that his eyes looked like eye shadows, or Tattooed red demon pattern.

The overall appearance can still be seen as the boy in the data, but I don't know why the hair is all white, and the red demon pattern is a bit weird.

Osamu Dazai held the mask innocently with one hand: "Hey, I took it off."

The young man opened his mouth, covered his face with his hands, and quickly shrank to the corner of the wall and began to tremble, the color of his whole body darkened.

Atsushi Nakajima looked at Kunikida and Dazai at a loss. The former was also a little confused, while the latter had an indifferent expression and observed the mask with great interest, confirming that it was just an ordinary mask.

"This..." Kunikida didn't know what to say for a while, the boy's skeleton was smaller than his peers, and he looked even pitiful when he shrank into a corner, so it looked like they were bullying him.

But the key point is, why was he able to speak normally just now, but became like this when he took off the mask, ah, is it because of sight phobia?Has it gotten that serious?

Nakajima Atsushi looked at Kunikida helplessly, then at Dazai: "Dazai-san?"

Dazai was not in a hurry to return the mask, but squatted beside the boy with great interest and poked him. The boy buried his head between his knees and couldn't see his expression, but the arc of trembling became wider, trying to shrink himself into the corner of the wall.

Kunikida's conscience couldn't stand it anymore: "Dazai!"

"Okay, okay." Osamu Dazai shrugged and returned the mask to Litao.

The boy tightened the mask and put it on his face, heaved a sigh of relief visibly.

"I'm sorry, if I don't wear a mask, or use other things to cover it, I will become like this." After a few minutes of silence, the young man seemed to have finally calmed down, and whispered.

"No, it should be us saying sorry," Kunikida lowered his head, and lowered his head against Osamu Dazai, "But no matter what, we still came with a mission."

The boy was silent for a while: "If you want to use my ability, I can only say sorry, I have temporarily lost the ability to revive others."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, I used something to stimulate the demon power in my body before, so that I could use the technique inherited from the blood, but now that thing is gone, I can't resurrect people for the time being."

"Monster power? Bloodline? What are you talking about, aren't you a person with supernatural powers?" Kunikida was surprised.

Osamu Dazai reminded: "Or a conjurer?"

At present, there is no definite information on whether the resurrection ability is a magic spell or a supernatural ability. Even Kunikida knew the name and appearance of the resurrection ability 5 minutes ago, which is probably the first-hand information in the world.

But many people are guessing that it should be these two. (Note 1)

"...I'm not, I don't have that kind of ability, all I have is the ability of a ghost girl passed down in my blood."

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not immediately believe in this unexpected answer that broke the three views.

Litao also knew that it was difficult to convince people who had never seen monsters, so he said sincerely: "I am not lying, I know you don't believe me... Let me explain in detail as I can see things that ordinary people can't see since I was young. But that's all, until a month ago..."

He paused: "I heard the news of grandma's death, and suddenly returned to the blood of my ancestors, and my hair turned white. I was also at a loss at the time. I didn't know until I inherited this store and saw the ancient books in the basement. In this case, I am returning to my ancestors."

"But my return to the ancestors is not complete. Only when I use the family-inherited bead can I use the ancestor's spell to resurrect the dead." Litao emphasized the family-inherited bead again.

By the way, the ghost girl Litao is the monster who resurrected Kikyo in the original work of Inuyasha. In addition to resurrection, her spells can also control pottery soldiers and create undead legions.

"Wait!" Kunikida pressed his temple, "Even if you say that...we still can't believe it, do youkai really exist in this world?"

Li Tao nodded: "Yes."

"..." Kunikida didn't know what to say for a while, he felt that the boy was fooling them, but what he said was very sincere, and so on, considering the factor of mental illness, he couldn't fully believe it.

Atsushi Nakajima obviously had the same doubts, and asked aloud: "You said you are a descendant of monsters, there are monsters in this world...can you prove it?"

"There are curse spirits, why can't there be monsters?" Litao asked back, "And you can't even see the existence of curse spirits, how can I show you the existence of monsters?"

Dazai said abruptly at this time: "We can see it when we are in danger."

"...Then it's impossible for me to show you, because now monsters basically don't exist in the human world." Litao himself felt that talking and talking became more and more unreliable, especially when coupled with his mental illness status, he said desperately , "Trust me, monsters really exist."

After calming down, Kunikida asked, "Regardless of the question of whether youkai exist or not, what do you mean, if you don't have that bead, you won't be able to use your ability?"

"It's a spell, yes." Litao nodded, with a helpless expression on his face, "I can't help it either."

Hearing what he said, no matter whether the people in the detective agency believed it or not, at least they did not raise any objections for the time being.

Kunikida asked, "What do you mean the beads look like?"

This time the boy hesitated for a long time, and said vaguely: "It's a purple bead. It's probably made of jade. It has no name. I lost it when I came back. It may be picked up. It's from the station to here." section."

Dazai narrowed his eyes.

Kunikida also felt that things were getting a little tricky, so he pulled Dazai aside and asked his opinion: "What do you think?"

"How about what?"

"That's what he said, do you think he's lying?"

Osamu Dazai glanced at the mask Li Tao was wearing: "I don't know, even I can't see through."

As a worrying teacher, Dazai can more accurately tell whether a person is lying or not, but the boy wears a mask and cannot see the micro-expression, and the probability of making an accurate judgment is greatly reduced based on the tone of voice alone, and Dazai cannot be sure.

It just felt like something was really weird.

Kunikida was very confused: "He is a patient, and there is a possibility that he himself is not aware that he is lying, but can monsters really exist?"

Osamu Dazai glanced at him lightly at this moment: "In the final analysis, what does it matter to us if you lie or not?"

Kunikida was taken aback.

"Kunikida, what is our purpose here?"

"Of course it is to capture the resurrected ability users."

"No, why are we arresting him and causing chaos in Yokohama? That's something that the officials should worry about. Whether his ability can still be used is also something that the officials should worry about." Before the Secret Service comes to take him in, just keep an eye on him, as for his ability, whether or not the monster exists, the authorities should worry about it.”

Kunikida was a little bit tangled after hearing this, although the facts seemed to be true, but it seemed a bit too irresponsible.

Osamu Dazai looked at Kunikida's expression and sighed: "Okay, I understand. On the premise that he won't run away, I'll come and see if he's lying."

The author has something to say: Note 1. For the time being, it is temporarily assumed that the lies imposed on people must at least have a designated target (the designated target refers to at least knowing the face and name, or having been in close contact, or adding more certain directional information. Face/name, for example, Orihara Rinya, who is doing trouble in Yokohama recently, is an annoying guy with a very bad personality in the intelligence agency) The reason why Orihara Rinya did not disclose any information about Ritao before is to prevent this lie from affecting reality. Because Litao's setting is to attract monsters, not people with different abilities.
