Special investigation report from Yokohama

"Ah—" the boy in the black suit groaned unbearably, "I said, this kind of nonsense question and answer can almost be stopped? Isn't what we have to solve now is the question of why we came here?"

The guest bartender heard the words and nodded in agreement: "It's a truth that children understand. In this regard, even though I have not graduated from the second grade of middle school, I am already more mature than you two adults. .”

"Really, you're not much better, are you?" The young man sighed heavily, "When I think about what I will look like in the future, I even double the motivation to commit suicide."

"Hey——" the young man shook the ice cubes in the wine glass, "It's really a child's cute idea."

"Just say one more thing, I don't mind sending you a shot here."

"A bluffing cat will only look cuter," said Osamu Dazai, who doesn't know who he is, and he doesn't have the habit of carrying a gun at all. opinion."

The young man glanced pointedly at the red medicine not far away. She was concentrating on studying an empty wine glass, as if she didn't care about their conversation.

"Besides..." He chuckled, "Is there any other reason for you to spend so much time?"

They all traveled to the parallel world, including Dazai Osamu of this world, and the only one who was not surprised was the young leader.Except for Hong Yao, almost everyone's eyes were on him, and he was very used to being watched like this, without moving his eyebrows or eyes: "While acquiring memories, I realized the truth of the world."

He raised his head and glanced across the faces of each Osamu Dazai: "My world, and... your world, the false truth."

"That kind of thing..." The young man scoffed.

"It's not your childish doubts about the world," he said, "it's a real lie—our world is just a phantom of the 'book', and as soon as someone writes on the 'book', it will be destroyed in an instant Fragile dreams of..."

"Tap." The collision between the glass and the bar interrupted his words, Hong Yao lowered his eyes slightly, and the emotion in his words could not be heard clearly: "You know more than I think, Chief Dazai."

Hong Yao's acknowledgment undoubtedly made the gradually silent atmosphere in the bar even more dignified. Ango Sakaguchi looked at the silent young man, then at Hong Yao, and spoke first: "Please speak clearly, Miss Hong Yao."

Although he used honorifics, his tone was somewhat harsh.Hong Yao could understand his mood and was not dissatisfied. He only started to explain after thinking for a while: "Let me start from the beginning. The birth and development of a world requires amazing energy. Because of this, not every world has The existence of parallel worlds - this world is like this.

"There is not enough energy to support the development of parallel worlds, but thousands of lower worlds have actually been created. This is the ability of the 'book'. In order to achieve balance, it also restricts the world when it is created. The original world will be destroyed when it fluctuates. , the "book" in the lower world will be destroyed when used, and even the more people who know the truth, the closer to destruction... These rules sound harsh and weird, but they are essential conditions for the survival of the world.

"And the world you are in is such a 'maintained' lower world."

"Then," the young man's gloomy voice was the first to break the silence. He looked at the young man in the same black clothes as him, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "The reason why you took so much trouble to come to this world is because this is the original world. ?"

The young man smiled lightly: "No."

"No." Hong Yao gave a clearer answer, "This is also an ordinary lower world created by the 'book'."

"It's a unique world."

"Every world is unique." Hong Yao retorted calmly, "However, the special feature of this world probably lies in that even if the 'book' of the upper world is used or violates other rules, it will not easily disintegrate. "

"Apart from the 'supernatural power system' that everyone is familiar with, there is still a 'spell power system' in this world. The two systems together support the operation of the world. Although the living environment of human beings has become worse because of this, the entire world However, the stability of the operation has been greatly improved. The collapse of any system will not bring the world into a doomed situation. Among all the worlds produced by the "book" at present, this is the only world that is free from the restrictions of the "book".

This is the truth of world fusion.In a world as fragile as other Osamu Dazai, Koyaku didn't dare to act with such fanfare with a sword-what if something was violated and the world collapsed?A world that is as brittle as glass can't stand the toss of a mind judge.

After she finished speaking, no one spoke immediately.Everyone quietly digested this shocking truth, until the young leader announced lightly but unquestionably: "This is the reason why I came here. I want my world to be governed by 'books' forever. "

"This is the law of development in the world, and we cannot change it."

"But you have other options."

Hong Yao didn't answer, and there was a long silence in the bar.

The government does have a way.

But in this world, there are too many worlds—just listening to this sentence may be confusing.In fact, the number of worlds detected by the government alone is astronomical, and those worlds that are threatened by the retrograde army and face survival crisis are the most important. Cruelly, these are only a small part of the high-risk world.

And the world of different abilities is not even dangerous in the eyes of the government.As long as the "book" still exists, as long as the original world is safe, there will be a steady stream of lower worlds, and thousands of lower worlds are destined to die.It's not even an accident, it's just that the world has birth, old age, sickness and death.

"We do." After a longer silence, Hong Yao replied.

Just this sentence, no method, no condition, means that she does not intend to provide help.All eyes in the bar were focused on her, Hong Yao just sat on the chair upright, silent, silently expressing her attitude.In the increasingly suffocating atmosphere, the boy who was the first to be impatient broke the silence: "I said——are you desperate to this extent?"

As the witnesses of the time travel just now, they naturally sensed the danger.Looking at the current mental state of the young man in black, the young man's eyes are purely puzzled.

It's just possible to destroy it. Every world will end one day.Struggling for such a false world to the point of death from overwork... Ugh, compared to this option that sounded very un-"Dazai", he would rather choose eternal sleep as another state of waking.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three Osamu Dazai changed slightly.

Before the other two spoke to stop him, the young leader had already confessed his answer: "Because that is the only world where he is still alive and writing novels. For this, I will do whatever it takes."

Although he didn't mention his name, the three words "write a novel" are so directional that no one will get it wrong if he doesn't mention his name.Oda Sakunosuke was taken aback for a moment, then realized something immediately, and turned to look at Hongyao.

"Dazai-kun," Hong Yao asked with a deadpan expression, "Are you threatening me?"

Leader Dazai was only silent for a short while, and then replied in a tone that was so light and empty: "I didn't mean that. However, since Miss said so, it also shows that my threat is effective."

It does work.

She will never forget the seaside of Yokohama, and Oda mentioned his dream in a serious tone-he wants to be a writer, so that he will not kill anyone again.

But in the end, he set off with himself and killed André Gide.After that, he entered the government as an intelligence officer and never mentioned his dream again.Intellectually, that was the best choice she could make at the time, but emotionally, Red Medicine always had the self-blame of "maybe it could be stronger, and Odasaku would not have to sacrifice his dream".When working in Oda, this self-blame turned into a subtle apology.

Oda Sakunosuke understands this guilt, but he can persuade Dazai and Ango's knots, but red medicine's irrational guilt makes people helpless.So he can only say: "You don't need to make decisions because of anyone, red medicine."

After a pause, he said again: "Also, I've been trying to write something recently."

"Really?" Hong Yao didn't seem to be affected by the words of Chief Dazai, and smiled very gently, "That's really great."

Oda Sakunosuke wanted to say something again, but in his position, he really couldn't do more.So he simply stood up and nodded slightly to the crowd: "Tomorrow I have to prepare breakfast for the children, so I'm leaving first."

Ango Sakaguchi also got up immediately: "I still have business, so I'll take my leave first."

The two friends left one after another, but the Dazai Osamu did not move, and faced each other in silence.I am afraid that no one except them knows what they exchanged.Instead, Hong Yao toasted to the two of them slightly: "Please tell President Fukuzawa for me, I will have an interview with him tomorrow morning about what happened tonight."

This was actually said to Ango Sakaguchi. Now that the Secret Service Division is not sure whether he is going to end, Ango Sakaguchi attended the meeting between Hongyao and Yukichi Fukuzawa in a private capacity is also a way to understand the situation.Ango Sakaguchi bowed his head slightly to show his understanding, and the two of them went up the steps.

Just as they walked up the stairs, they saw two children pushing open the door of the bar.

That was the child who often appeared around Hong Yao, and they all recognized it.The four of them passed each other, and when they opened the door, Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango heard their voices calling their lord.

"Maeda, Hirano." Hong Yao lowered her eyes, "Please invite these gentlemen to visit Honmaru."

After seeing so many identical faces, the two of them almost guessed what happened here.The two stared at each other, and Maeda was the first to say, "Everyone, please come with us."

It is said to be a "guest", but it is actually similar to detention.After all, they were people from another world—or Osamu Dazai—but Koyaku dared not let them move freely.The three of them were not surprised by this posture. The young man in black got up first, and the red scarf swayed to follow the footsteps of Maeda who was leading the way.Then came the boy, and finally, when the young man in the sand-colored windbreaker stepped up the steps, he turned his head and winked at her pretending to be mysterious.

Seeing this, Hirano, who stayed at the end, looked at Hong Yao inquisitively. Seeing her nodding slightly, he bowed and followed the team to leave.

The bar became quiet again, of course, not for long this time.Osamu Dazai let out a long sigh, lying on the bar like a boneless: "I didn't expect that I would become an adult like Mr. Mori! This is the worst news I've heard this year."

Hong Yao gave him a funny look, and stood up: "Okay, it's time for me to go too. You stay at my place tonight, and we will go to the detective agency together tomorrow."

"Yes--just listen to Miss." Osamu Dazai quickly tidied up his laziness, jumped off the high stool briskly, stood by the stairs and waited for the red medicine to go first, "Lady first."
