The Sims of Dark Otome

Chapter 25 Runaway Carriers

Pan-World Defense Deployment Alliance.

This ridiculous name is the name of the chat room with a sixteen-digit password.

As a member who joined the chat room at a later stage, Osamu Dazai did not know and was not interested in knowing the origin of the name of this chat room that communicated with many people from different worlds, but now...

No, to be precise, he seemed to understand something after something happened a week ago.

[beep, beep——]

In Osamu Dazai's earphones, a long waiting tone sounded slowly.Just like the continuous cycle of 123456 in piano music, it is too late to wait for 7, which makes people secretly anxious in daily life.

Osamu Dazai knew that this was the meeting waiting tone from the [Pan World Defense Deployment Alliance] chat room.

10 minutes ago, a player from another world [Rei Yuya] initiated a meeting application to the three administrators [Sawada Tsunayoshi], [Bran], and [Yuni] in the chat room, and the main topic of the meeting was about [ [Tsukino Yayin]'s problem, and the problem of [Tsukino Yayin]'s dream world that is temporarily trapped.

The meeting application was originally connected by the administrator [Yuni], but soon, with the online and joining of [Kudo Shinichi], I don’t know what happened in the meeting. In less than 3 minutes, that person The young administrator seemed overwhelmed, and reluctantly transferred the meeting to another administrator [Bai Lan].

At this moment, Osamu Dazai had already sensed that something was wrong, and felt that the result and direction of this meeting might not be what he wanted to see, so he quickly decided to join.

Although, in fact, Osamu Dazai didn't really care about everything about [Tsukino Yayin] at first.

Because at that time, he had already obtained the truth from the clues, and knew that the appearance of [Tsukino Yayin] was a derivative product of the third power of the core seven of the different world after a certain problem occurred.

So logically speaking, as long as the people in the original world didn't die, this terrible problem wouldn't affect his own world, and it wouldn't be his turn to solve it.

That being the case, why should he care about this shit?

He can't manage the affairs of his own world, and he still cares about the affairs of other people's world. Does Dazai seem to be so free?

Osamu Dazai directly put the question of [Tsukino Yayin] aside.

However, after that, with the construction of the dream world, with the progress of the dream world.With the occurrence of an unbelievable event, Osamu Dazai found helplessly that it was impossible to stay out of it.

What's more terrible is that he seems to owe that [Yue Ye Yayin] a huge favor... There are some things that he has to take care of.

So as soon as the meeting was transferred to [Bai Lan], Osamu Dazai was ready to take advantage of the situation and join the meeting, fishing in troubled waters.

But unexpectedly, [Bai Lan], a well-known entertainer in the chat room, did not take over this seemingly lively meeting.Instead, the meeting was directly transferred to [Sawada Tsunayoshi] who is not yet online.

The short and long wait begins.

[Furuya Rei] and [Kudo Shinichi] These two players don't know why, they are clearly from the same world, and they seem to have a good relationship on weekdays.

But their opinions on this meeting were deadlocked, and no one was willing to leave early, as if they would not give up until the end of the battle.

And his [Osamu Dazai] name was the third one waiting for the meeting.

In the 5th minute, another player from another world [Gojo Satoru] appeared, ranking fourth in the waiting list.

Osamu Dazai looked at the name twice more.

About [Gojo Satoru], Osamu Dazai knew neither much nor less.For example, he knew that this guy named [Wujo Satoru] was so approachable in the chat room that he almost had no sense of borders, and he was also familiar with the use of various kaomoji, just like a fledgling cute girl high school students.

But in fact, this guy named Gojo Satoru was extremely arrogant in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the powerless ordinary people at all-this point is probably only comparable to him by Bai Lan, a fun person.

However, Osamu Dazai, Gojo Satoru, and Bai Lan are a triangle that hates each other, and no one has the right to say who is right.

So why did this guy join?

Osamu Dazai thought to himself.

At the 7th minute, the meeting waiting room was lit up again, and the name of the player [Xia Ke] was on the fifth place on the waiting list.

Osamu Dazai looked at the name, and was silent for a moment: Ah, it's a knight... Forget it, although this person is troublesome, as long as it's not Hisoka.

Regarding Hisoka, Osamu Dazai was not afraid of him.It's just that sometimes, when Osamu Dazai faces Hisoka, there will always be a subtle feeling of looking in the mirror, as if seeing him also sees the distorted essence in his heart.

This feeling is really annoying.After all, what he hates the most is another annoying ghost who is similar to himself.

In the 9th minute, Osamu Dazai directly turned his mobile phone on the table, too lazy to stare at the meeting that he didn't know when he would be able to connect, which only increased his anxiety.

He was sitting in the Armed Detective Agency, slumped into a puddle of mud on the sofa leisurely under the gazes of everyone who ignored or despised him, humming proudly, with a lazy look of beating a worker angrily.

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment.

No one can call him at this time.

Even if it's... Odasaku...

"Dazai, are you free next?"

A familiar face suddenly appeared.

For a moment, Osamu Dazai felt as if he was holding his breath.

But Osamu Dazai quickly laughed and waved his hands lazily: "It's a pity, Odasaku, I'm waiting for a very important feedback, so I can't go on a mission with you!"

"Oh, that's good." Odasaku nodded very calmly, and was about to leave.

Kunikida couldn't stand it anymore, pushed his glasses, and said with a strong sense: "Mr. Odasaku, please don't trust that guy Dazai so easily! Dazai doesn't have any missions at all, he is just pure Just being lazy!"

Odasaku was puzzled and said, "Really, but Dazai is very measured. He said there is something important, and it must be something important."

"Wuuuuuu, Mr. Odasaku is really nice..." Naomi was so moved that she almost shed tears.

Yoshino Akiko, who drifted past, said lightly: "It's better to say it's too easy to deceive..."

Even Miyazawa Kenji, who was admitted to be indifferent and talkative, sighed and shook his head: "Mr. Odasaku, you should also be a little more careful!"

Odasaku: "..."

Oda Saku's cognition of Osamu Dazai's popularity has reached a new height.

Amidst this mess of voices, Osamu Dazai slumped on the sofa, looking sideways in the direction of Oda Sakunosuke.

He stared at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, at the lively and warm scene in the detective agency at this moment, and suddenly felt like he was in a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.

But he didn't have to wake up either, because it wasn't a dream.

Yes, this is not a dream.

This is not his delusion, but a real reality.

Even apart from him, no one has noticed the change of the world and the resurrection of a person. Even the time and corresponding memories of those missing years have been completed, as if Oda Saku never died. ? Hei did not leave alone.

"What a great favor."

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes and gripped the phone even more tightly.

"so……"

He must do something.

To protect this present.

……

No. 11 minutes.

The administrator [Sawada Tsunayoshi] finally came online and took over this round of meetings.

The main conflicting parties in this meeting are still [Furuya Rei] and [Kudo Shinichi]. Whether it is Dazai Osamu, Gojo Satoru, or the last chivalrous man, they are actually onlookers.Therefore, after entering the meeting room, the latter three did not speak.

At this time, after several minutes of waiting, [Furuya Rei] and [Kudo Shinichi] seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Therefore, when the administrator Tsunayoshi Sawada asked about the reasons and issues for the meeting, the two refrained from arguing directly.

[Furutani Rei: In this meeting, what I want to discuss is naturally related to Tsukino Yayin, but before that, I want to ask a question-what is the so-called dream world? 】

With Jiang Gu Ling's opening, his words were also converted into text, which was automatically recorded in the conference room.

Osamu Dazai lowered his eyes slightly, watching and listening quietly.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: As I said at the beginning, when the out-of-control power spreads to the world where you are, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by individuals.

What's more, its scope is still expanding.So curbing the runaway has become imminent.The launch of Dream World is the best containment method we can think of. 】

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Everyone's thoughts are like a vast sea of ​​ice, and memory is the tip of the iceberg.When you are chosen by forces out of control, your world is no longer immune to it.

So instead of passively waiting for the out-of-control power to spread in reality, it is better to actively introduce such power into the dream world constructed by the memory maze of all players, let it linger, and even consume power until it dissipates.When the excess power dissipates, the out-of-control world crisis will naturally be lifted. 】

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Moreover, the equipment we built the dream world has been carefully debugged to ensure that everything that happens in the dream world will not cause damage to the original owner, and considering that there may be people who are worried about the progress of the dream world, we You are also given permission to log in to the dream world at any time to check the progress of the dream world—of course, in order to ensure privacy, you cannot visit the dream world of players from other worlds, and neither do we. 】

[Furuya Rei: I dreamed of Tsukino Yayin last night, may I ask why? 】

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: It is normal for the dream world to have a certain linkage with its owner, just like the shadow on the ground will shake when the wind blows the tree, but the shadow will not affect the shaking of the tree. 】

[Furuya Ling: But since the shadow is shaking, it means that the wind has blown through the trees.So this gust of wind really has nothing to do with the trees, no, with the trees? 】

Although Fugu Ling's words were polite, the coldness and aggression in them were not concealed.

However, Sawada Tsunayoshi also understands that such aggressiveness is precisely because Furutani Rei is a person who is very concerned about public safety and responsible. From the perspective and responsibility of the other party, it is no problem for him to ask these words .So Sawada Tsunayoshi still replied with a good temper.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: No.Some things are believing. If Mr. Jiang Gu is not at ease, he can log in to Dream World to check it out. 】

At this moment, Osamu Dazai, who was listening, couldn't help laughing.

This administrator named Sawada has a good temper, but he is not good at talking.

Sure enough, Mr. Sawada is more reliable than Bai Lan. It seems that his initial worry may not be realized.

[Furuya Rei: So in the final analysis, why can't we just destroy Tsukino Yayin? 】

Furutani Rei obviously also heard the unquestionable decision of Sawada Tsunayoshi's good voice, and couldn't help feeling irritable.

[Furuya Rei: Since Tsukino Yayin is the carrier of power and the source of loss of control, isn't it the best choice to curb the loss of control by directly destroying the existence of Tsukino Yayin? 】

This time, in the conference room, before Sawada Tsunayoshi could speak, Kudo Shinichi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

It is different from Furutani Rei, whose voice is calm and solemn, and Osamu Dazai can immediately hear that he is working as a hound.

Kudo Shinichi's voice is very young, with the enthusiasm, seriousness and stubbornness unique to innocent people.In fact, only such a stubborn and naive guy would make such a speech.

[Kudo Shinichi: Enough is enough, Mr. Furutani, killing people is never the best solution, and it should not be regarded as one of the solutions to the incident.

Now, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Sawada and everyone in the world, the incident has finally been brought under control.

Under such circumstances, instead of taking the time to think about how to solve the problem and get through the difficulty, do we have to argue about whether to kill an innocent person? 】

[Furutani Rei: I am the one who should say enough is enough, Kudo!I have said long ago that no matter how artificial intelligence looks like a human being, it is definitely not a human being.It has no human rights, let alone override public safety! 】

[Shinichi Kudo: The situation you mentioned never happened at all, and the so-called override of public safety is nothing but a slippery slope fallacy.

Before the event actually happens, everything is unknown. Because of this unknown, you willfully put another intelligent life in danger, or even deprive it of its right to live?I disagree!As long as I am alive, I will never agree to such a thing! 】

At this moment, the suppressed anger between the two broke out again.

When faced with a common enemy, they may have fought hand in hand and been the best partners.

But when everything returns to the right track, or when problems that touch the bottom line and principles arise, their contradictions become irreconcilable.

Osamu Dazai listened to the intense dispute between the two, his expression was as cold and indifferent as usual.

In fact, from Dazai Osamu's point of view, he actually agrees with Furutani Rei's idea: if sacrificing one person can complete the whole world, then letting that person die may be the best solution.

Just like disposing of non-performing assets and cutting up gangrene, when it is broken, it is broken.

But Kudo Shinichi's concept is also very simple: people are not assets, let alone gangrene, and their importance must not be measured by quantity.

So the classic dilemma of the tram problem may not be a problem at all for Kudo Shinichi.

Because he will never choose either side, but is working hard until the last second to save people on both sides at the same time.

Ridiculously innocent.

But it's also admirable in a way.

Moreover, this guy is much stronger than Kunikida in combat power, so he doesn't need his help at all!

Osamu Dazai changed his posture and continued to listen.

The dispute between Fugu Rei and Kudo Shinichi is aggressive, and everyone has their own reasons why they cannot retreat.

They can't argue for long, though, because an unreliable, cutesy voice joins in.

[Wujo Satoru: I thought you were going to have a meeting to talk about something, but I didn’t expect it to be just this?Really, what a waste of time, isn't it proven impossible to eliminate Tsukino Yayin from the very beginning?

If I could, I would have done it a long time ago, so I don't have to wait for you to argue.What you guys are arguing about now is like monkeys arguing over how to get the moon, it's really funny. 】

It is indeed one of the annoying big triangles.

As soon as Gojo Satoru's voice came out, either Furutani Rei or Kudo Shinichi became angry.

[Kudo Shinichi: Even if we are monkeys, Tsukino Yayin is not the moon in the water.Whether it's us or Tsukino Yayin, the influence of everyone's actions is two-way.Therefore, before a real tragedy occurs, it is very important to determine the purpose and direction of the action. 】

If Kudo Shinichi's voice was restrained, Furutani Rei's voice was close to sarcasm.

[Jing Gu Ling: Oh?Really, it seems that Mr. Gojo is very confident in his own strength and control over everything, and he is worthy of being the strongest in another world.

It’s just that Mr. Gojo never seems to have considered the unpredictable nature of people’s hearts... That’s right, if you have really considered the idea of ​​being a human being, how could you go so far as to turn against your friends and even kill your friends with your own hands? the point?As far as I know, that should be your only friend, Mr. Gojo, right? 】

If you hit someone, you will be slapped in the face, and if you curse, you will be exposed.

Regarding Gojo Satoru's seemingly cute, but in fact disdainful attitude that doesn't take ordinary people's power into consideration, Fugu Zero fought back unceremoniously.

Osamu Dazai was secretly surprised, after all, it was the first time he heard the news.

I didn't expect Fugu Zero to be really capable!

He even inquired about the other world?

How did you do it?

Is it because there is another person in this chat room from Gojo Satoru's world, and Gojo Satoru doesn't know that person at all?So defenseless about it?

It's getting more and more interesting.

In the chat room, Gojo Satoru's voice instantly cooled down, and even if they were separated by a different world, everyone in the chat room could feel an almost terrifying atmosphere spreading.

【Wujo Satoru: I didn't expect Jiang Gu to know a lot about things in other worlds?The hands are surprisingly long. 】

Perhaps the person favored by power has such a terrifying ability, and can achieve the purpose of intimidation with a single sentence.

But Jiang Gu Ling was neither humble nor overbearing, so he acted as Gojo Satoru to intimidate the atmosphere.

【Furuya Zero: I'm sorry, but it's my responsibility. 】

[Wujo Satoru: Where is the responsibility?Wrong, the other world is out of your control, Jiang Gu Ling.You better get your ears out of my world.Otherwise I can't guarantee that I'll do something. 】

Osamu Dazai let out a small wow.

Is this going to start?Is this going to be scolding?

OK, fight, fight... no, no!

I didn't come to do this myself.

Osamu Dazai quickly came back to his senses, pondering over the unfamiliar business of persuasion——

Yes, it's really rusty business, and he's trying really hard not to blurt out something that adds fuel to the fire.

But fortunately, before Osamu Dazai was troubled for too long, the person who was really suitable for persuasion spoke up.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Don’t be impatient, Mr. Gojo’s words have a certain truth, that is, death cannot destroy Tsukino Yayin, or even destroy Tsukino Yayin’s existence, it will not help to control the spread of out-of-control power. 】

As if he was used to such scenes full of fire and medicine, Sawada Tsunayoshi continued his topic calmly, just as if he hadn't heard the dispute between the two.

And Tsunayoshi Sawada's approach is undoubtedly correct.Because Furutani Zero cares more about the out-of-control forces that threaten the world he lives in than his personal ego.So he was instantly distracted by Sawada Tsunayoshi.

[Jing Gu Ling: How to say? 】

After losing the other protagonist, the quarrel naturally disappeared.

Gojo Gojo let out a cold snort, but he didn't open his mouth to add to the chaos.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Everyone has a misunderstanding about the existence of Tsukino Yayin, that is, they think that the arrival of Tsukino Yayin has brought disaster.In other words, it is precisely because Tsukino Yayin is the carrier of power.

But she had a self-awakening, so this led to the loss of control of the power she carried and put your world in crisis-but I want to tell you that the truth of this matter is not the case. 】

【Kudo Shinichi: So what is the truth?What the hell is going on with this thing? 】

[Feng Gu Ling: What are those out-of-control forces?Where is its source?How can we solve it? 】

Facing the question of the two, Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Sorry, we are still exploring the complete truth behind this incident and the real reason why Tsukino Yayin appeared, and we cannot give you a definite answer.

But now we can be sure that the existence of Tsukino Yayin cannot be eliminated before the out-of-control forces.And even if she is really eliminated one day, those out-of-control forces will not be alleviated in any way...it may even intensify. 】

etc?The meaning of this sentence is!

Osamu Dazai's expression froze, and he finally straightened up from the sofa.

At this moment, he felt as if he had touched some truth...some kind of truth that no other player had thought of before!

And if his guess is true, then it's no wonder that people like Tsunade Tsunayoshi are particularly partial to [Tsukino Yayin]... and Kudo Shin's defense of her may also be due to the same reason.

But why didn't Tsunayoshi Sawada tell everyone about this?What is he worried about?

Is it because it's just their guesswork?Or is it just to better protect [Tsukino Yayin]?

It should be the latter.

That's right, the members in this chat room have their own faults, either their personality or their standpoint, and if such an important matter is announced casually, the final result may not be what Tsunayoshi Sawada wants. See... Is this called father's love like a mountain?

In the mess of thoughts, the voices in the chat room continued.

[Fugu Ling: So we can only sit and wait? 】

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: The incident is still under investigation. We have also contacted a reliable senior regarding the containment of out-of-control forces.Now it is gathering the strength of scientists from all over the world to make new equipment. 】

The knight who had been silent until now finally spoke.

[Xia Ke: The problem of superpowers, are scientists also useful? 】

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Of course it is useful, why is it useless? 】

Sawada Tsunayoshi's natural question stunned everyone.

ah this... ah this...

Even if he is a chivalrous man, he only uses his mobile phone as the carrier of his mind ability. What is really important to him is not his mobile phone, but his mind ability. If he wants to improve, what he needs to develop is not a mobile phone, but a mind ability.

So in the world of chivalrous men, scientists are scientists, and those who read abilities are those who read abilities. Even if they meet occasionally, there is a wall in the end.

It's as if runners need a pair of good shoes, but it would be too ridiculous to let people who study shoes guide people how to run.

But I didn't expect that in this administrator's world, things like superpowers can also be researched and guided by scientists and even develop superpower equipment?

The door to a new world opened. jpg

Everyone fell into a subtle silence.

Sawada Tsunayoshi continued.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: In short, the development of the current incident is quite clear, and the research on new equipment is also going well.So I want to ask everyone to trust me for the time being, and leave the future of this matter to me for the time being.

If you meet Tsukino Yayin in the dream world, please don't hurt her.Because hurting her wouldn't help and would break the heart of an innocent person. 】

Jiang Gu Ling fell into deep thought.

Osamu Dazai chose to keep his mouth shut.

But Gojo Satoru—this person who obviously doesn't stand for any side, and doesn't care about any side, willfully asks a question that everyone wants to ask but everyone is restraining.

[Wujo Satoru: Oh?Yeah?But what if an accident does happen?What are you going to do? 】

In fact, Gojo Satoru knew that killing Tsukino Yayin was futile as early as in the original game, and had already given up on this approach.

It is precisely because he really has nothing to do with those unknown powers and the existence of Tsukino Yayin that he unhappily participates in the construction of the dream world, and often goes online to check.

As for the biscuits made by Tsukino Yayin in the dream world, they can't bribe him at all, he is not such a frivolous person!

In short, at this moment, Gojo Satoru's curious questioning voice was sternly scrutinized, like an inquiry from a god, and his arrogance was irritating.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada was as calm as ever.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: I have no choice. 】

Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice was calm.

[Sawada Tsunayoshi: I can only promise that if any accident happens, I will die before you all. 】
