The bosses cry and put down the butcher knife

The interior of the port mafia building is no longer an unfamiliar place to Oda Miyuki.

The last time she rushed up the stairs, this time she was led by the top cadres of the gangsters, and took the elevator directly to the top floor.Following Nakahara Nakaya through the corridor, Oda Miyuki could feel countless sights falling on her, obviously or implicitly, and then moved away quickly.

"After meeting the leader, you..."

When the elevator was going up rapidly, Zhong Yuanzhong also spoke hesitantly.The syllable stayed in the air for a second, and then changed suddenly: "Forget it, you can play it yourself."

Oda Miyuki: "...Oh."

Oda Miyuki looked at the hat of the young man in front of him, and all kinds of thoughts piled up in his mind.She wasn't particularly nervous, but it was different from the feeling of being in her own world and preparing to find her own Osamu Dazai.

Even when the other party lost his horse back then, when she was on the phone under the Hong Kong and Black Building and realized that "my boyfriend is the legendary leader of Hong Kong and Black", she felt different from now.

The two were silent all the way, and when the elevator reached the top floor, the metal door shrank to the left and right.Oda Miyuki blinked, and found that the light outside...was dimmer than she had imagined.

On both sides of the corridor are guards stationed a few meters apart. Unlike the scattered eyes that would drift over from the hall on the first floor, they stand like a group of human-shaped sculptures.Zhong Yuanzhong also reported his identity, and the nearest guard captain bowed to him and let him go, his eyes were only focused on the gravity envoy of Gang Hei from the beginning to the end, and did not tilt one degree towards Oda Miyuki.

Should I say "it really is different"?Oda Miyuki thought.At the same time, follow Zhongyuan Zhongye's instructions before coming here, and follow him without squinting.

"Leader, I am Zhongye, come and report back."

Even Zhong Yuanzhong is usually the last line of defense around the leader of Hong Kong gangsters. When he is not in his position, he still needs to abide by the order of the organization.When the heavy door finally opened, Oda Miyuki subconsciously held his breath.

Compared with the corridor outside, the space revealed in front of my eyes was another shade darker.

This is a large room, but both the floor and the ceiling are all black, and even the surrounding walls are black.There are various distinctive decorations in sight, but they are also shrouded in a dark atmosphere.

In front of the seat in the center of the room, stood a man.

It was the person in Oda Miyuki's imagination, but... the girl was in a trance for a moment.

Dazai?

She wanted to call the other party's name, but couldn't make a sound for no reason.Out of the corner of his eye, Zhong Yuan Zhong also turned his head and glanced at her, then bowed to the black-haired young man not far away and said, "Boss."

The leader of Hong Kong gangsters in this world nodded, looked at the girl brought in by the top cadres of Hong Kong gangsters, and said with a smile:

"Miss Oda, this is our first meeting. If my guess is correct, you are from a parallel world, right?"

Zhong Yuan, who was next to him, also had a surprised expression on his face. He probably didn't expect his boss to be so direct.Oda Miyuki looked at each other, not surprised that this man could guess it.

Although she didn't know what Chuya Nakahara said when he asked for leave, Osamu Dazai was always like this - no matter which world he was in.

"Yes," she replied, "I'm from the world five years from now."

"Five years later..." Osamu Dazai said, with a very slight melancholy in his tone.Like a dying old man thinking about the future and realizing he can no longer see that scene.

The hallucinatory voice dissipated in the room, and he spoke again: "So, Miss Oda wants to go back?"

Oda Miyuki nodded without hesitation, noncommittal to the sudden change of topic by the black-haired youth.Osamu Dazai was about to speak, as if he realized something, he first looked at Chuya Nakahara who was standing beside him:

"Chuya, I hope you can escape for a moment."

Although he said "hope" with a smile, there was clearly an unquestionable order in Dazai's tone.If it weren't for the consideration of Oda Miyuki—or Nakahara Miyuki's delicate identity, he wouldn't even need to choose euphemistic words.

Zhong Yuanzhong also froze for a moment: "...Yes."

On the way with the girl, the orange-haired youth had various doubts, but he would never hesitate at this time.Just when Chuya Nakahara turned to go out, he heard the leader of Hong Kong gangsters smiling and said to the girl: "Chuya is very relieved of Ms. Oda, and he didn't protest this time."

Isn't it because even if I don't agree with you, you will put me down with words like "hierarchy of the mafia"! ?

The Hong Kong and Black Gravity Envoy thought angrily, but looking at the two people in the room, he didn't know who to send this anger to, and finally he could only hold it back depressed.

He dutifully closed the door.

"I won't say anything irrelevant." After Chuya Nakahara left, the leader of Hong Kong gangsters sat down again, and motioned for Oda Miyuki to sit down.The girl was stunned for a few seconds, and then turned around to realize—at some point, there was an extra chair behind her.

And the young man in front continued to say: "Miss Oda appeared in this world because of the influence of the 'book'."

Book?

For this word that had disappeared for five years, Oda Miyuki was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

Obviously, the timeline of this world has not progressed to the time of the Yokohama accident, and the "book" has not been sealed.It can even be inferred that, judging from Miyuki Nakahara's life in this world, "Book" may not find her.

"Different parallel worlds may make different choices." The Hong Kong and black leader smiled lightly, like a habitual mask, "I don't know how your world is done, miss, but since it's been five years Finally, you should have controlled the 'book'?"

"Yes, we sealed it up." Oda Miyuki replied, "We couldn't find a way to completely destroy it, so it was an expedient measure. After that, Fyodor..."

She paused here, not sure if the Hong Kong and black leaders in this world knew each other.Looking at each other, the black-haired young man nodded: "We have fought against each other before."

As long as we know each other.Oda Miyuki did not ask "how did you fight", and added: "When the 'Book' was sealed, he was imprisoned, and escaped shortly after being sent back to China. Two years ago, he sneaked into Yokohama, and then personally proved... ...well...the seal is quite strong."

Thinking of Fyodor's face at that time, Oda Miyuki wanted to laugh, but held back.The leader of Hong Kong and Black looked at her subtle expression, and said after a while: "The 'book' of this world is currently here with me, but I have found a way to destroy it. It probably sensed this, so it put the parallel world You pulled me over."

Oda Miyuki frowned: "Why did you pull—"

Without saying "I", the girl fell silent.

The reason is not difficult to guess, based on the situation in her original world, plus the idea of ​​"book" wanting to stop Osamu Dazai in this world.

It's ridiculous, but...

"It... wants me to stay in this world?"

Oda Miyuki said, there was a certain unbelievable flavor instinctively in his tone.Her gray eyes looked at the man not far away, as if hoping that the other party would deny her.

However, the leader of Hong Kong gangsters did not speak.

Although the two have not said anything about the world where Oda Miyuki lives since the beginning of the exchange.But in this short moment of silence, or earlier, the two sides have reached a subtle consensus——

They all thought that in another parallel world, Dazai Osamu and Oda Miyuki were lovers.And the "book" of this world pulled Oda Miyuki over, trying to make Osamu Dazai of this world leave behind the only "lover" who might have his own.

It will not consider more complex things. Compared with the various factors that human society uses to maintain, what the "book" sees is indeed something that is close to the essence, simple and pure.

If all irrelevant existences are excluded, perhaps "Dazai Osamu" will not care about the so-called secular obstacles.

But as a human being, who can really ignore everything?

The "book" of this world created a farce with its futile self-righteousness, but it couldn't make any of the parties laugh.

Only silence.

"...So, how do I leave?"

From the moment they met, they had a straight-forward style, and Oda Miyuki didn't like going around in circles at first.In a sense, the man in front of her gave her enough familiarity.Even if it is a person from a different world, it is "Osamu Dazai" after all.

"Miss may need to wait here for two days." The leader of the Hong Kong gangster replied, "I think the 'Dazai' of that world should also be trying. One day...at most two days, maybe you can see the result."

He didn't say anything specific, but Oda Miyuki had already got the answer.Before the two got together back then, Osamu Dazai's series of operations completely ruined his credibility.But for five full years after marriage, until now, he has not experienced the so-called failure of trust.

This accumulated trust is more reliable than any sweet words.Oda Miyuki believed this sentence almost immediately, and even after nodding, he suddenly realized it.

So... have we come this far together?

She was in a trance for a moment, then realized that the room was quiet again.The leader of the Hong Kong gangsters on the opposite side was looking at her, and his gaze seemed to pass through her again.

At that moment, Oda Miyuki suddenly remembered something, or realized something.She felt that she shouldn't continue to be silent, just like after walking into this empty and crowded room, she was aphasia because of some emotion.

As Oda Miyuki, she had never seen Osamu Dazai sitting in this room, nor had he seen him as a real "Hong Kong black leader".And similar questions, when they lived together, she didn't need to ask them anymore.

"You..." Oda Miyuki paused with some difficulty, but finally said, "Mr. Dazai, do you plan to see Asuke later?"

In fact, she also wanted to know if Osamu Dazai of this world had ever met Miyuki Oda of this world.But no matter what the answer is, it doesn't seem to make her feel at ease.

She remembered that about a few years ago, Dazai Osamu woke up in the middle of the night one night, and then hugged her in cold sweat.

Waking up the next morning, Oda Miyuki asked him what happened last night.The young man seemed to be thinking seriously for a while, and then said in a half-joking tone: "I dreamed that Miyuki-chan left me and was with 'Dazai Osamu' from another world."

Oda Miyuki blinked: "Then you can just get me back."

Osamu Dazai muttered, "But in all the worlds, I am the only one who has the luck to meet Miss 'for the second time'. This kind of luck cannot be squandered. Once lost, there is no way to get it back. coming."

It seemed to be crazily talking in sleep, and also like a drowned man holding driftwood.At that moment, Oda Miyuki remembered the first time he met when he was ten years old, and in the world depicted in the "book", Dazai Osamu and Oda Miyuki met for the first time after life and death.

If only they were so lucky.In those countless parallel worlds, this man will only be friends with one person, and will live for some reason. She hopes that it is Oda Sakunosuke.

The leader of Hong Kong gangsters blinked: "Going to see Oda Saku? Is it something from Miss's world?"

He didn't deny it, so Oda Miyuki continued to ask: "Or have you considered meeting as a reader?"

The leader of Hong Kong gangsters froze for a moment.

Oda Miyuki looked at the other party's momentary confused expression, and remembered that in the bar, he saw Oda Sakunosuke pointing a gun at the young man opposite him.

At that moment, under the dim light and the muffled music, the black-haired young man in a black overcoat with a bandage on his face showed an expression that she might never forget in her entire life.

This kind of expression is not unique, every time it makes Oda Miyuki so deep that it is soul-stirring.Just like the day she "picked up" the other party, the 22-year-old youth seemed to let go of the cliff, and couldn't help asking for help, which made the 17-year-old girl almost fall in love at first sight.

"Mr. Dazai should have read Asuke's novel, maybe wrote a review?" She boldly guessed, "Actually, Asuke really hopes that someone can chat with him face to face, he seems to have no confidence in his writing level. "

During the period when Osamu Dazai was exchanged by the ten-year rocket, Oda Miyuki chatted with Dazai from the parallel world several times.The other party wanted a novel by Sakunosuke Oda, and he read it with great interest for a long time.

Although they never said it explicitly, but that Dazai was in his own world...probably didn't read Oda Sakunosuke's novel.

"If Mr. Dazai is free in the future, you can actually consider writing a novel." Oda Miyuki suggested, "Maybe it will be very good."

This is what her man did last year, when she was just found out that she was pregnant, and during the few months of her brief retirement, Osamu Dazai, who also served as her manager, also quit.

During that time, the two of them nestled together almost every day, and Osamu Dazai even taught himself a dozen dishes suitable for pregnant women.Every time he made it, he would try it himself first, and after there was no problem, he would find someone (usually a poor little guy like Akutagawa) to try the dish, and make it for her again at the next meal.

Later, Oda Miyuki couldn't stand it anymore, and used the hand brake to dispel his ambition to become a chef.Osamu Dazai, who had nothing to do, simply invented dozens of weird games, saying that he would give children early prenatal education.

In the end, I don't know if the prenatal education was successful or not. When she was about to give birth, Oda Miyuki was almost trained as an amateur-level spy.

Apart from these "something seems wrong" behaviors, the most normal thing that Osamu Dazai does is probably writing novels.

At that time, Miyuki Oda was six months pregnant, and Osamu Dazai had only written two chapters, and he kept his hands closed so that no one could read it.One day, she dug it out while the man was out, and before she even read a chapter, she was confiscated on the spot by her husband who came back.

"Miyuki-chan just bear with it, and read it after giving birth." Osamu Dazai coaxed her, "After all, my wish in writing this book is to 'let the optimists feel depressed on the spot, and bring the depressed patients back to life'!"

Oda Miyuki: "...All right."

Then I can only wish you that this book never gets published.

The girl recalled some unbearable past events, and the young man not far away looked at her.In the end, the leader of the gangsters smiled and nodded seriously: "Thank you, Miss Oda."

Oda Miyuki was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party's familiar kite-colored eyes, and smiled.
