Wenhao is my vest

When Aoki Araya woke up, the first thing he saw was the white ceiling of the hospital.

After staring blankly for half a minute with his eyes open, he stood up with difficulty and pressed the call bell on the bedside with his bandaged hand.

Before waiting for half a minute, doctors and nurses in white coats walked into the ward with excited expressions: "Mr. Edgar Allan Poe!"

Aoki Araya was very calm: "How long have I been lying down?"

Being interrupted by him, the doctor had no choice but to suppress his excitement and replied: "It's unbelievable, you've only been unconscious for less than half a day even though you were injured so badly."

Aoki, who knew very well how strong the Heroic Spirit's physique was, was not surprised by this, and asked another topic: "You are so anxious, what happened?"

The doctor showed him a grateful smile and replied: "The organization at the port has been sending people to guard your ward and the entrance of the hospital..."

Aoki Araya naturally understood what the doctor meant, so he called in the members of the Hong Kong gangsters outside the ward on the spot, and asked them to return to their orders, and stop guarding here.

After confirming that everyone had evacuated, the doctor couldn't help being more enthusiastic about Aoki Araya: "Obviously Mr. Dazai's injury was much lighter, but he is still in a coma until now."

Aoki Araya is also very calm about this matter, after all [Dazai Osamu] is also his vest: "Which ward is Dazai in?"

The nurse who had been silent all this time turned over the medical records: "Mr. Dazai is at 304... Mr. Poe, according to you, it is at 203."

Because of the different degrees of injury, were they assigned to different floors?

Aoki Araya smiled at the nurse: "I want to see Dazai right now."

Although he used the sentence pattern of consultation, he got out of bed and put on his shoes while speaking, and planned to leave the ward directly.

The nurse wanted to stop him, but because he was related to Hong Kong gangsters, he didn't dare to stop him, so he said quickly: "It's okay, Mr. Dazai, his life is not in danger! And he is also arranged in the best single room... "

[Edgar Allan Poe] interrupted him: "My physical condition is all right now."

The nurse was taken aback: "...what?"

【Ellen Poe】smiled and took off the thick bandage on his arm: "Look."

The skin under the bandage was unexpectedly fair, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was covered with bloody wounds half a day ago.

In the astonished eyes of the two people on the opposite side, [Ellen Poe] explained unhurriedly: "This is the effect of my supernatural ability. Can you let me go to Dazai's side now?"

——To be precise, dormancy to speed up wound healing is one of his abilities as a dependent of the old ruler.

Hearing the word "extraordinary ability", the doctor also knew that it was a field that he could not touch.

So he could only answer: "If there is no problem after inspection."

"Haha," [Ellen Poe] smiled softly, "Don't you understand, unknown doctor? I'm not asking for your permission, I'm just informing you, okay?"

The doctor was taken aback by his superior's threatening tone.At this time, he realized that although [Ellen Poe] behaved politely, after all, he could still let the port mafia send several members over to investigate the situation, and it was impossible for him to be as harmless as he looked sex.

【Ellen Poe】While taking off the bandage exposed outside the hospital gown, he walked out the door: "It would be great if you can understand me, don't worry, I won't come to you even if there is any problem troublesome."

After leaving the ward and stepping up the stairs to the third floor, [Ellen Poe] stopped while clutching his stomach, and took a short rest.

The wounds on his body have indeed healed in sevens and eighties, but it definitely does not include the one stabbed by [Osamu Dazai] - if the damage caused by the treasure can be eliminated so easily, then [Osamu Dazai] should just change jobs Just be a psychiatrist.

——So, he was really trying to be brave in front of those two people just now.

【Ellen Poe】The rush to go to a colleague's ward is of course not because of how much he cares about him, but because Aoki Araya is thinking:

【Osamu Dazai】Did it cost too much mana to release the Noble Phantasm in a seriously injured state, so that I can't wake up now?

Therefore, he felt that he had to take a look first.

Aoki Araya endured the faint pain in his abdomen, and slowly moved to the front of [Dazai Osamu]'s ward.

He pushed open the door, sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed, took a breath, and then carefully observed 【Osamu Dazai】's physical condition.

The white-haired young man lying on the bed was pale, and even his lips lost their color.

Aoki Araya stretched out his hand, put it on the back of [Dazai Osamu]'s cold hand, closed his eyes and began to explore his remaining magic power.

Half a minute later, Aoki withdrew his hand with a serious expression.

...the situation is more serious than I imagined.Although it is possible to take the [Osamu Dazai] account offline, and then slowly recover by absorbing the magic power in the land, it is too slow to do so.

Considering the current miserable number of members of the "Writer Association", this is not a good explanation.

— so now it is obvious what should be done.

As soon as Aoki Araya made a decision in his heart, he felt extremely strong resistance from the spirit base of [Ellen Poe].

To sum up his meaning in one sentence, it is probably: I absolutely don't want to exchange bodily fluids with 【Osamu Dazai】! ! !

Aoki Araya: "..."

Aoki Araya said weakly: "...I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

Although it is true that body fluids need to be exchanged to replenish magic power, body fluids are not only of the weird type!

Aoki Araya refused to continue communicating with [Ellen Poe], a fanatic with a strange brain circuit, and directly scratched his wrist with his fingernail, and after the blood flowed out, he brought it to [Dazai Osamu]'s mouth.

Just as he was seriously feeding [Dazai Osamu] blood, there were fragmentary footsteps in the corridor.

Half a minute later, as the door was opened, Mori Ogai's familiar voice sounded behind Aoki: "Mr. Poe, I heard that you have almost recovered..."

Mori Ogai swallowed - he swore that the scene in front of him shocked him even more than when the "Moby Whale" flew over Yokohama: "... May I ask what are you doing?"

【Ellen Poe】The speed of wound healing is really too fast. When Mori Ogai asked the question, he had already cut the third wound on his wrist: "As you can see."

He smiled at Mori Ogai, looking very calm: "What's wrong?"

Ogai Mori already knew from the report submitted by Chuya Nakahara that [Ellen Poe] had beliefs different from ordinary people, so his first reaction was: ... Did I accidentally see something strange that I should not spy on? cult ritual?

[Ellen Poe] explained to him while bleeding: "I'm just healing Dazai."

Hearing this even more strange speech, Mori Ogai's mind had already started to cycle through shocking headlines.

[Ellen Poe] easily saw what Mori Ogai was thinking, and gave him a dangerous smile: "...the power system we use requires magic power, and the easiest and most effective way to replenish magic power is to exchange body fluids. "

Mori Owai showed a polite smile, pretending that he had no thought of being rude just now: "I see. It is really important information, thank you, Mr. Poe."

"However, I didn't expect that you would pay so much attention to Mr. Tsushima who didn't deal with you?"

[Ellen Poe] withdrew his arm, avoided answering his question, and just replied with an overly bright smile: "So what's the matter with Mr. Sen coming to the hospital?"

"Although the port mafia dispatched manpower in advance, Mr. Poe and you were sent to the hospital closest to the pier in time, and no more serious consequences were caused," Mori Ogai kept putting gold on his face while trying to shirk all responsibility To [Ellen Poe], "But the damage to the pier is too serious, and according to the doctor, Mr. Chilin's mental state is very unstable, so we can only temporarily suspend this cooperation."

【Ellen Poe】This is the original purpose, but he never thought of taking the blame for a small pier: "According to Mr. Chibayashi, he suspects that Orihara Rin from Ikebukuro is also playing tricks."

"Well," Mori Ogai replied slowly, perfectly embodying the annoying qualities that a gangster should have. "I don't think it's possible, because the most basic rule of an intelligence dealer is honesty."

It's a pity that [Ellen Poe]'s ability to play Tai Chi is not bad: "It's a pity, I heard that Orihara Lin is also a liar who likes to make jokes... At that time, I almost killed Mr. Chilin directly. So what he said must be the truth, right?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also was a few steps late because he had to rule out the dangers around him, but when he entered the ward, he just heard such a frenzied speech: "..."

[Ellen Poe] greeted him: "Mr. Zhongyuan, there should be nothing wrong with what I said?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also had a complicated mood: "...that is indeed the case."

He couldn't help adding another sentence: "Why did you suddenly become like that before?"

[Edgar Allan Poe] just smiled at him: "Sorry."

...What's the use of being sorry!You should at least explain one thing!

[Ellen Poe] obviously didn't want to discuss his words and deeds in a state of madness: "Hey... I have taken the initiative to be punished, so please forgive me for this faux pas, okay?"

Hearing his confident speech, Zhong Yuan felt his head start to hurt again.

It was Mori Ogai who caught the point: "You said 'accepted the punishment voluntarily'?"

"Ah, this..."

[Ellen Poe] just started talking, but was interrupted by someone directly: "This guy could have directly avoided my treasure."

【Ellen Poe】turned his head and looked at the person lying on the bed: "Dazai, you're finally awake."

【Osamu Dazai】It still looks a little weak, but he still speaks badly to his colleagues: "I never thought that since I came to this world, the most memorable first martyrdom would be with someone like you."

Mori Ogai probed: "Are the internal rules of the 'Bungo Association' so strict?"

[Osamu Dazai] seemed very upset.After he sneered, he began to insult people indiscriminately: "The leader of the port mafia can even say 'strict rules'?"

[Ellen Poe] explained for him: "'Punishment' is voluntary. After all, we are just an ordinary association of interests."

Mori Ogai glanced at [Osamu Dazai] who had obtained base construction funds from Fitzgerald, and then at [Ellen Poe] who had fought Lovecraft for [-] rounds, slowly Make a question mark:

ordinary?Interested in association? ?

It turns out that the head of an ordinary interest association is like this, it seems that I was too ignorant before.

In other words, Mori Ogai would not believe even a single punctuation mark in the explanation that came out of [Ellen Poe].

Aoki Araya smiled bitterly in his heart, and stopped trying to explain.

He finally understands what it means to make a mistake and end up with eternal hatred... Originally, he really wanted to form an interest club that was very ordinary except for the value of force.

After a few exchanges between you and me, Mori Ogai and [Ellen Poe] finally got to the point:

"The current problem is that we don't even know who got in on the pier."

[Ellen Poe] tilted his head: "Oh, this is not acceptable."

Mori Ogai didn't understand what he meant: "What?"

[Ellen Poe] was blunt: "I lied to the doctor just now. In fact, my abdominal wound has not healed, and I can't exercise vigorously for half a month."

"As for Dazai," he smiled, "as he himself said, he is indeed a useless trash who can't do anything."

【Osamu Dazai】It is plausible: "A waste like me must lie in bed for another week before being discharged from the hospital."

Mori Ogai: "..." What the hell is this organization doing?

"So we don't have extra manpower to investigate the matter of Orihara Rinya." [Ellen Poe] has long seen that Mori Ogai wanted to push this troublesome offending person onto himself, "It's better to let Su Nan know how to go Well, at least they lost a cadre."

Mori Ogai: "..."

He has already begun to suspect that [Ellen Poe] was deliberately stabbed before because of the current situation.

If Aoki Araya could know what the only intellectual in Hong Kong and black is thinking now, he would definitely feel very wronged:

Although the reason he said is true, but the reason why he does not avoid the [Dazai Osamu] Noble Phantasm is of course——

——In order to cater to the character design!

To be more precise, it is to show [Ellen Poe] the greatest characteristic of this heroic spirit: he is a fanatic with a strong tendency to self-destruct.

Aoki Araya felt that what he did was pretty good.

People who are significantly different from universal values ​​are often not understood. Therefore, the two people in front of them expressed their unbelievable emotions towards [Ellen Poe]'s voluntary injury behavior, which has already reached Araya Aoki's initial goal.

As Aoki thought, Mori Ogai couldn't understand this kind of person who would rather destroy himself in order to achieve his goal, but he accepted this fact without hindrance.

After he sighed helplessly, he still took a step back—after all, he didn't want to offend the organizations with two top combat effectiveness:

"Since Port Mafia is responsible for the investigation..."

【Ellen Poe】I feel much better all of a sudden: "Then the 'Association of Writers' will naturally be responsible for the next mopping-up issue."

Nakahara Chuya suddenly said: "You said before that you would go to Ikebukuro to find Orihara Rinya, right?"

[Ellen Poe] blinked, and did not deny it: "Whether it is a job you don't want to do or a job you like, in the end it is work. If you care too much, you will not be so happy, Mr. Zhongyuan."

Mori Ogai: "..."

What this person said was indeed reasonable, but he still felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Mori Ogai, who felt that he had been tricked, decided to change his mind, trying to hypnotize himself and successfully reached a happy cooperation result.

**

Meanwhile, on a certain street in Ikebukuro.

When passers-by pass by the flower bed, they can't help but turn their heads to look at the two people sitting on it.

They were two handsome young men with different looks.

They seem to be about the same age, but they don't seem to know each other. One is wearing a black fluffy coat and is seriously playing with the knife in his hand; while the other has an obvious foreign appearance, wearing a strange white hat. The hat is holding a book quietly and reading.

Fyodor D turned the book in his hand to a page: "Happy cooperation, Orihara-kun."

Orihara Rin also put the knife back into his pocket, and replied casually: "Although it was indeed a good show for me, I don't think it's a pleasant cooperation, okay?"

Fyodor is unimpressed: "In most cases, the advantages of exceeding the target outweigh the disadvantages."

"That's for you who are completely hidden behind the scenes." As an information dealer, Orihara Rinya is best at dealing with rhetoric, "I heard that the super-frightening Mr. Edgar Allan Poe is ready, They are planning to come to Ikebukuro and kill me."

This was information Fyodor could not get.After all, no matter what Japan is, it is Orihara Rinya's territory, not his Russian who has only come to Yokohama not long ago.

However, on the surface, he didn't have any thoughts about the news: "Since I told you about this, it also means that Orihara-kun has made corresponding preparations, right?"

Orihara Rin also turned his face to the opposite direction to Fyodor, and smiled strangely: "I guess—well, I will definitely not tell you the specific method."

After saying this, he supported the flower bed, jumped directly to the ground, and said goodbye to Fyodor in a good mood: "I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future, after all, the price you gave is not bad. Lord 'Devil'."

Fyodor raised his head, watched Orihara Rinya's bouncing figure disappear completely, then lowered his head again, and continued to look at the half-read book in his hand.

However, after a long time, he failed to turn even a single page.

Fyodor was recalling what could be called a failed attempt.

Yes, tentatively.

Every time he recalled his original purpose, Fyodor wanted to let out a rare sigh: In the current situation, it is obvious that the plan collapsed halfway, and it was completely derailed to the point that no one could have imagined. direction.

Of course, Fyodor did not expect that the cooperation between the three organizations would be shattered.

But this is not the point, what is important is that he can at least be sure that the unexpected situation started when Lovecraft woke up.

Moreover, the "Hasta" and "Cthulhu" that [Ellen Poe] mentioned when he was mad also made Fyodor very interested.

——[Edge Allan Poe] The fearful and fanatical attitude towards his master quickly sparked interest in this Russian with faith.

That's why he said to Orihara just now that "the advantages outweigh the disadvantages".

Fyodor Dostoevsky, the famous "Magic Man" couldn't help but feel that the ability user information he obtained from the former cadre "A" of the port mafia brought him far more benefits than expected .

It was precisely because [Osamu Dazai], a person with an eye-catching name, was mentioned in the data that he was able to follow the vine to get such surprising information.

——So, what should I do next to successfully approach that [Edgar Allan Poe]?

At the same time when Fyodor started planning and deploying, Orihara Rin also returned to his intelligence room in Shinjuku.

"That Russian is really troublesome," he said to himself as he collapsed on the sofa, "Occasionally there will be such a guy who is human but can't even compare to non-human."

After lying quietly for a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly got up, walked to the desk and sat down, and turned on the desktop computer for office use.

In the dark room, only the light of the computer screen was dimly shining.

Orihara Rinya's fingers kept typing on the keyboard. After about half an hour, he finally stopped and leaned back on the boss's chair in a relaxed manner.

Orihara Lin also took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, turned the chair slowly, unlocked the mobile phone, and pressed the button to send an email.

He raised his voice excitedly: "Let me see how you, a self-proclaimed apostle of God, will face another fanatic—in this world where there are no gods at all!"

In the information room where there was only one person, intermittent and annoying joyous laughter sounded.

**

After discussing the matter of cooperation, [Ellen Poe] picked up the condolence fruit sent by Mafia at the port and the knife beside the hospital bed, and began to peel the apples.

He expressed his intention to see off the guests so clearly, it is impossible for Mori Ogai not to understand: "Then I will leave today, and the port mafia will try its best to report the information within a week..."

Only halfway through, several continuous vibrations came from the bedside table, interrupting Mori Ogai's words.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was [Osamu Dazai]'s cell phone ringing.

[Ellen Poe] looked surprised: "Your phone is not broken?"

【Osamu Dazai】had a puzzled expression: "I just realized that the quality of this phone is so good. I usually only use it to play games."

【Ellen Poe】I didn’t see him at all—or in other words, he helped him get the phone with a super thick skin, and pressed the unlock button without hesitation: “It’s a new email.”

Then, after a full 2 ​​minutes, he kept looking down at the phone screen without speaking.

【Osamu Dazai】Dissatisfied: "That's my cell phone!"

[Ellen Poe] obviously heard his complaints, but did not respond.

About half a minute later, he slowly raised his head, put the mobile phone in his pocket, and smiled at 【Osamu Dazai】: "Playing games during working hours, confiscated."

Ignoring [Osamu Dazai]'s vicious cursing sound behind him, the blue-haired man nodded towards Mori Ogai: "Please trouble Mr. Mori. But in fact, there is no need to be so anxious. It is not a problem to extend the deadline to half a month."

Mori Ogai is very understanding: "Did something happen?"

[Ellen Poe] squinted his eyes, and after a mocking "ha", he quickly returned to his usual gentle and polite state: "It's not a trouble, at least this time it must have nothing to do with my lord, it's just an ordinary human being." It's just a boring mess."
