Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter53

Hearing the words from the phone, Mori Ogai was startled.

One of the floors of the headquarters building is a private living area that is completely exclusive to him...or in other words, it is a place that he once called home in his heart.

Sitting alone on the handmade sofa in the corner of the bedroom, he quietly stared at the luxurious but cold big bed not far away, staring with some ecstasy, as if trying to capture those long-disappeared times.

[Are you insomnia again?You haven't been sleeping very well lately, Yuan. 】

【Can't sleep...Rin Taro, continue reading the novel for me, just the one I didn't finish last time. 】

[Is it really okay to continue listening to that novel? The ending of that novel is a tragedy. After hearing such a sad ending, what should I do if I have a nightmare instead. 】

[It doesn't matter, isn't there the blessing of Lin Taro's voice, negative and negative, fighting poison with poison... And I believe that Lin Taro will be better, so listening to Lin Taro tell this story, I must have a good dream tonight. 】

【Is my voice some kind of dark substance? It’s so sad. I’m so sad that I’m going to have nightmares tonight too. 】

[Do you read or not?If you don’t want to read it, I will go to the study and continue reading the novel by myself, so as not to disturb your sleep. 】

[Read, of course read... Follow orders, my wife. 】

[In the end, the two lived happily together.Um?Already asleep, Yuan? 】

[No... I was thinking just now, did you change the ending of the novel?When did you start to make up a new ending by stealing the ropes? 】

[But the adaptation is very reasonable, isn't it? Didn't Yuan not notice the moment the path leading to the ending changed?How do you feel about this ending? 】

[If the heroes and heroines in the novel can freeze at such a moment in the end, it's not bad. 】

[Looking at the source, I like it very much. Will this ending bring a good night's sleep? 】

【Um. 】

【That's fine, as long as it can give you a good dream and the established ending, I will change it for you... Good night, dear. 】

……

"Doctor Sen?"

Hearing that the phone was silent for a few seconds and there was no response, Yuan Rina tentatively called out to the other party.

【Ah, I'm sorry, Ms. Minamoto Rina, I'm just listening... It's just that I just remembered that my wife once said something similar.Every time she can't fall asleep, she always asks me to read a novel to her, saying that if she falls asleep listening to my voice, she may have a good dream all night. 】

Of course, the balance of negative and negative, such as fighting poison with fire, was directly distorted and digested by Mori Ogai, who is well versed in the art of speaking.

But this time, it was Yuan Rina who fell silent.

[Ms. Yuan Rina? 】

It was also a tentative call, and after a while, he heard a faintly disappointed voice from the other end of the phone——

"That's it... That's why I sighed before, I really envy your wife, I can meet a man like you."

No matter how true these words are, or whether they are fraudulent or not, Mori Ogai felt that his heart was itching to be teased.

What if, is it true?

Judging from the comprehensive analysis of the information he has about her so far, he only remembers one girl in the past three years, and he has no emotional experience in the past three years, so in terms of emotions, it is almost equivalent to a blank sheet of paper.

Just like Yuan before, they came to him with blank sheets of paper.

Then, attracted by his color, he was willing to let him smudge on that piece of pure white and become the only color.

Yuan and him could be regarded as love at first sight for each other at first sight!Different from love at first sight, love at first sight has no reason in itself!

Mori Ogai, who was doing the formula substitution in his mind, hesitated for a while.

I even thought about taking a risk and taking a bigger step... What if after a big gamble, I have everything I want?

Just when he was calm on the surface but was brainstorming on the inside, the words from the mobile phone gave him a knowing blow again——

"Does Dr. Sen always feel that he is an ordinary to unattractive passer-by A-style middle-aged uncle...middle-aged widowed, son rebellious, career is average, and his daily life is like a can of sardines. Living in a mediocre city day after day?"

【Is not it? 】

Mori Ogai felt that this was the image he displayed in front of her as a doctor Morin Taro.

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Rina let out a low laugh, and her softened voice was still smiling, and said softly: "I don't know how attractive I am, and it's also one of Dr. Mori's greatest charms... At least in my eyes, You are very attractive, Dr. Sen."

When these words rang in his ears, Mori Ogai really lost his mind, and the phone almost slipped from his hand.

In an instant, it seemed to be back many, many years ago, back to the day when he first met her on that spring day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

That night, in the restaurant by the Rhine, after playing the song "To Alice" for her, he walked back to her and saw her smiling so sweetly at him after accepting his card and roses , those sapphire-like eyes that made him intoxicated seemed to be overflowing with honey.

Maybe it was because of the slight intoxication of the red wine, or maybe it was because he couldn't restrain the throbbing in that young heart. In a moment of emotion, he asked her whether to go together for the next trip.

After the invitation was issued, he was so uneasy.If she refused him, then this spring day in Bonn would really be a sweet and sad dream for him.

【OK. 】

When he heard her answer him like this, he got his wish but was a little dazed... Did she really agree?

[Why is this expression, do you regret inviting me, Toyotarou-kun? 】

How could he regret it, this was one of the best decisions he made in his life, a decision that had never been related to his optimal solution theory.

【No, of course not, it's just a little surprise...Miss Elise, I really agreed.I was still worried just now, if I was rejected, it would really be my biggest regret this spring. 】

He saw the girl in front of him resting her chin on her hands and staring at him.

Just watching him quietly made him feel that her eyes were smiling.

【Toyotaro-kun, do you have no confidence in yourself? 】

No, he has always been self-confident, or in other words, before doing everything and taking every step, he has thought about a hundred steps in advance and made complete preparations.

So it has nothing to do with self-confidence or not, because everything seems to him to go with the flow and as it should be.

It was just that the girl in front of him was a surprise to him.

A wonderful surprise.

[Because I'm facing Miss Elise, can a man like me really win Miss Elise's favor? 】

He has always been a very proud person in his bones, and although he was somewhat humble when he said this, the uneasiness in his heart could not deceive himself.

There is no way, when facing someone you really like, any guess that the other party may not be interested in you will cause confusion and hesitation.

Just when he was hiding his inner turmoil with a decent smile, the girl leaned forward, leaned close to his ear, and whispered to him like a ear-to-eye——

[In my eyes, you are very attractive, Toyotaro-kun. 】

Toyotaro Ota has long been buried in the distant past. As Mori Ogai, he has always been sober.

However, at this moment, he really wants to indulge in this kind of psychedelic illusion where the night and day overlap, which is simply absurd.

Is it because the moonlight is too beautiful tonight?

No, with her here, the moonlight every night is moving to him.

"Hey, Dr. Sen, actually, to you..."

The voice from the phone again made Mori Ogai's body tense for a moment, and he held his breath to listen to what she was going to say next.

only hear...

"Beep-"

broken……

The phone was cut off suddenly, causing Mori Ogai's brain to short-circuit for an instant, who had been concentrating on waiting for the next half of the sentence, and his mood was even more ups and downs like bungee jumping.

And the next second, after realizing what was going on, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face, feeling a mouthful of old blood suffocating in his chest, almost depressed.

Mr. Zhongye, you really know how to pick your time...

The mobile phone signal was cut off suddenly, Minamoto Rina was also stunned.

Looking at the display on the mobile phone screen, it turned out that the mobile phone suddenly had no signal, and the hotel's WiFi was also cut off, as if the hotel was suddenly blocked.

at this time……

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang in the next room that sounded like a fight.

then……

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!"

A burst of obvious shooting sounded in the next room, and people who had never seen such a big scene could understand what happened.

Although it was unimaginable, in an ordinary room of the hotel, a shootout did take place, and from the sound, the scale was not small, definitely not 1v1.

Yuan Rina immediately dialed the landline in the room... Sure enough, she couldn't make the call at all, and the hotel front desk couldn't be reached.

Then, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the corridor.

Carefully approaching the peephole on the door, I saw a few men in black suits and black sunglasses walking towards the room next to her. These men also had guns pinned to their waists.

Simply bright mafia fire? Fighting scenes.

Through the door, vaguely, she heard some of the men in suits communicating——

"Do you need to clear this floor?"

"No need for now, just wait for the orders of the cadres. Moreover, this hotel is originally operated by the back of PortMafia. All external signals have been blocked and all exits have been controlled. Before the matter is over, no one can take the opportunity to slip away. Get out of this hotel."

Minamoto Rina, who received a threatening letter from PortMafia not long ago: "..."

The author has something to say: Mori Ogai's formula substitution is actually not wrong, but...

First, he learned that Yuan Rina's amnesia may become a preconceived miscalculation instead;

Second, it is the sentence that Dazai once complained in his heart——

Dazai (during loudspeaker promotion): How delicate was Ota Toyotaro back then, how old are you Mori Ogai now, huh?
