Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter99

Standing on the top floor of the Port Mafia Building and looking down, what you can see is an international harbor city shining with neon lights, and even an endless dark abyss that can swallow people up in an instant.

What about possessing the supreme power in the night of this city, and what about being a person with supernatural powers, after all, it is just an ordinary human body.At this moment, just take this step forward, and everything will come to an end.

"If I jump from here, we can let go of everything in the past and start over, can't we?"

Staring at the desperate yet crazy abyss below, Mori Ogai spoke slowly.

With an extremely calm tone, it seems that at this moment, I am not stepping on the tightrope between life and death, nor being caught between reality and fantasy.

Behind him, Yuan Rina let go of his left hand which was intertwined with his fingers a little bit, and let go of his right hand which was around his waist a little bit, as if bewitching him to take that step forward: "Yes, if you want to jump Go down to prove your love for me, then I will also respond to your love, follow you, and we will die together... Wait for me on the other side of Huangquan, and I will be there soon. Then, we will be in Huangquan Over there, start over."

"It sounds crazy but it's so beautiful..."

Mori Ogai also seemed to be caught in this crazy beauty, murmuring softly as if intoxicated.

Then, Zhenzhen took another step forward, turned around, stood on the edge of the roof and looked at Yuan Rina with a smile, the dark red scarf on the coat was swaying in the night wind.

A step away from each other, Yuan Rina also looked at him with a smile.

At this moment, Mori Ogai seems to be in a background composed of two extreme images. Behind him, half is the coldness of the night with the moon hanging high, and the other half is the bustle and bustle of the harbor city.

Just like the contradictory but not disobedient eyes in his purple-red eyes, indulged yet sober.

The two stared at each other and smiled silently. Unknowingly, the arc of the smile became wider and more publicized.

Until, tacitly speaking at the same time——

"Sorry, I choose to decline."

"I know you won't jump."

There was no surprise in the words spoken at the same time, as if they had confirmed the result.

Mori Ogai will not choose to die for love.

Yuan Rina also didn't believe that Mori Ogai would throw away all reason for himself.

No longer just smiling, she finally laughed out loud. Yuan Rina smiled and applauded slowly: "Sure enough, Mori Ogai is not a love brain who believes in love. Or I should thank you for not using it. Trick and Zhong also colluded to let him wait below to catch you."

"If I ask Chuya-kun to help me cheat, it will only make you angrier. It's not wise to do that."

Mori Ogai said with a smile, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and pretended to be curious, "Although I also want to know, at the moment I choose to jump, will Yuan be moved and cry for me? ...And, I'm also very curious, Yuan, will he really follow me and jump down, and die with me."

"So, do you think I can dance?" Yuan Rina asked back.

Mori Ogai's eyes sank a little, and he spoke rationally and confidently an answer that should be quite cruel to himself:

"No. Even if I really jump down, Yuan will not really do what you said, use life and death to make our love intertwined forever... I am on the other side of Huangquan, I can't wait for you, oh ...Or should I wait patiently for decades? Anyway, you will always come."

"You're right, how could I die with you?" Yuan Rina put away her smile a little bit, and let out a soft sigh, "If I could give up my life for such things so easily, then three years ago Why should I try my best to survive?"

The two looked at each other, wanting to laugh in their hearts, but couldn't because of the inexplicable bitterness in their hearts.

See how well they know each other.

It is obviously a test of humanity, trust, and the love that was fragile but so beautiful that it couldn't help but indulge in it in the madness.But two people, during this time, one is still overly rational, and the other is extremely sober.

Something seemed to be stuck between the throats of the two of them, scraping and cutting the flesh between the throats little by little, and then silently swallowed it down.

Mori Ogai walked away from the edge of the roof step by step. Every step he took at this moment may not be considered calm, but he remained calm. Jian: "Yuan, my love for you has never been fake or illusory. I love you very much and you are very important in my heart. However, love has never been the only thing that constitutes a living body, and it has never been the whole of life.

It is said that in one's life, the more you seek something, the less you will get nothing, but people are still constantly seeking...

It is precisely because there is still something to ask for, so people know what they want to live, and live that way little by little.And I, as you know it, this is me. "

This is so right... Minamoto Rina felt that she couldn't agree with it anymore, but she laughed helplessly.

As expected of you, Mori Ogai, you are clearly disdainful.

Scratch beautifully...

"You're right, money, power, responsibility, ideals... besides love, there are many other things that people want, so people will not easily and completely collapse.

It's the same for me, if my life is only love, then four years ago, when you decided to abandon me after the best solution, I should commit suicide in a collapse, and use my death to pay homage to this unsustainable love , To end the life that has nothing. "

The truth is, four years ago, she committed suicide without a painful breakdown.

Three years ago, she chose to survive even if she had to fight.

Up to now, without love, she is still alive, isn't she?

After all, she is not someone who regards love as everything.

"Eighteen years ago, you didn't come to the shore of Lake Constance for an appointment, and you didn't even leave me a message. It was because you were called to participate in the naval battle on Everdark Island. You felt that it was unknown whether you could come back from the battlefield alive. It seems to you that the best solution is to not think about anything, to regard each other as passers-by in our lives, and to regard the month in Germany as a dream, and you have woken up from the dream, right?"

"Yes……"

"14 years ago, I was transferred from Everdark Island. You didn't try to search for any news about me. After the war, you never thought of trying to find me. It's because you expected that I was arranged to carry out Secret experimental research that cannot be known to the outside world.

And you, as the initiator of the undead army, will be punished as a scapegoat after the defeat. In your opinion, if we keep in touch at that time, it will be harmful to each other, so you decided to let me go again, right? "

"Yes……"

"Four years ago...ah, let alone, in order to allow the port mafia to obtain a permit for the opening of supernatural powers, and in order to realize Yokohama's three-hour vision, I became the one on the chessboard that you set up that needs to be removed. piece.

And three years ago, when that organization was wiped out, you didn't choose to save me so that the port mafia would not become a thorn in the eyes of many powerful government agencies.

From the initial missed appointment at Lake Constance, to the final complete abandonment of me, every time your optimal solution tells you that you need to abandon me, you will do so rationally. "

Looking back at the past, she was put down by the other party time and time again, but she was still able to get together with the other party time and time again. Yuan Rina even wanted to lament that the fate between each other is really amazing.

"Your optimal solution indeed achieved the optimal result you were looking for, it is not a mistake, and I also know what kind of person you are. But at that time, I needed the protection of the port mafia too much, I also chose you for a purpose that is not pure... That's why I said, I don't hate you."

"Compared to a real husband and wife, we used to be more like a pair of partners in the name of husband and wife. Partners who are bound by interests should not be entangled in things other than interests, so I don't hate you. But we... ...After all, they are still husband and wife, no matter how rational and sober you are about your choice, I have no way not to be disappointed."

"Three years ago, when I took that medicine and bet on the one-tenth chance of survival, I told myself... If I win the bet, after I am reborn, I won't be forced to do anything because of my needs. I put myself in a passive position because of the consideration of interests, even if I live to death, I will live for myself.

So, this time, if I choose a partner again, I want to choose a real partner, even if it is not strong enough.But no matter what happens, I will not choose to give up on my people. "

"That person can bring me real peace of mind, no matter what I face, I will not put each other in the balance of value... This is the real life and death together."

"And you, Mori Ogai, can't do it, can you? As the head of the Port Mafia, you put your responsibility to the Port Mafia, and to the Yokohama night, above all things, and you're happy with it."

She said all the words in her heart word by word. These words were not only the accumulation and explosion of the entanglements of those years in her heart, but also the calmness of the past three years that allowed her to come out and look at everything in the past soberly and calmly.

It wasn't until the final interrogation was thrown out that Yuan Rina felt that the tears had flowed from her eye sockets at some point since then, and had just flowed across her cheeks silently.

Mori Ogai also didn't seem to notice her tears until she finished speaking.

Subconsciously, he wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the tears for her, but when he saw that she had wiped away the tears calmly by himself, he stopped.

Yes, in the past, she never shed tears in front of him.

And now she doesn't need him to wipe away her tears.

Sighing a long sigh, seemingly regretful and relieved, Mori Ogai felt that there was no need for him to use any cunning words. If there was anything he could give to the only woman he loved, it would be sincerity: "You You're right, I can't do it."

Just like when he first heard the news of her death, although he was sad and painful, he didn't lose all hope, let alone follow her away.

There are many burdens on him, and love has never been and will never be the only reason for him to live in this world.

"If there is another time when I have to make a choice, I must honestly say that as the leader of the port mafia, I will still put the interests of the port mafia and Yokohama first.

That will never change as long as I am in this position, first the head of the organization and the slave, and then the man. "

However, the only thing he didn't want to face again was that she died again.

If she leaves like that again, he doesn't know if the sensibility as Morin Taro can counteract the rationality as Mori Ogai who has been pressing on it.

He didn't want that day to come.

She neither hoped that he could no longer be a qualified leader, nor hoped that she would die because of him again.

"Really, I suddenly felt that if I really jumped off the roof just now, it would not be a bad thing at all. At least in this way, I will definitely not watch you die in front of me again... Don't go before me One step, Yuan. Everything else is fine, except, I don’t want to see you die again.”

At the end, Mori Ogai chuckled, with a bitter and helpless look in his eyes, but also a sense of relief.

The tacit understanding between the two has never been reduced by half, and already understood what he meant, Minamoto Rina felt that she even wanted to laugh through tears: "Don't worry, according to the current age gap between us... I will definitely live longer than you Or, you don’t need years to waste your life at all, you, the leader, may one day be honored for the port mafia. At that time, I will ask someone to present a bouquet of flowers for your funeral.”

"It's too much, Gen, I've even thought about my funeral." Mori Ogai complained pretendingly dissatisfied.

Yuan Rina took off the ring she was wearing on her left ring finger, and handed it back to the other party.

After receiving the ring, Mori Ogai was a little surprised: "I thought you would throw the ring away, or just throw it from the rooftop right here."

He was ready to watch her destroy the ring.

"I won't deny everything in the past. If that's the case, why should I have trouble with a ring. It's really unlucky to meet you.

Although you are a terrible person who can't do it, of course I am not a good person.But those days with you are not without happy times, even if they are few and short.

For Chi Songyuan's decades of colorless life, it is enough to smile more. After all... life is short, if you feel happy, if you don't laugh out loud, you won't regret it in the future. "

After saying these words with a smile, Yuan Rina turned around and planned to leave.

When Mori Ogai heard the last sentence, he suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously said: "Wait, you!"

"Ah, this is the last secret that I never told you... I have known Rintaro a long time ago, much earlier than Rintaro knew me."

Yuan Rina stopped, turned her head, and left the last words of relief: "From the first love to the end, you really have taken over the love of Akamatsu Yuan's life alone. If you do it again... Akamatsu Yuan will probably still... I fell in love with the author Morin Taro, and I will still be attracted by Ota Toyotaro under the cherry blossom trees in Bonn. Although it is a very fragile love from the beginning to the end, it is the only story between Akamatsu Gen and you.”

"Gen Akamatsu has completely ended her story three years ago, and what is left is Gen Rina Araki who started anew."

"Goodbye, Mr. Mori."
