Banjing Taoshui felt that she was going to suffer from insomnia again.Wrapped in the quilt, she rolled around on the bed, finally got up and left the hotel room.

The seaside hotels in Shonan are open until late, the lobby on the first floor is brightly lit, the beach is bustling with people, and the smell of grilled squid and fried noodles comes from the barbecue stall next door.

Dazai didn't sleep either, he was holding a can of beer, sitting on the ponytail prepared for customers at the beach barbecue stand, chatting with the people next to him.

It was an uncle in a white coat...it should be an uncle, because this man was wearing a thick white gas mask, and his age could not be judged from his face, but could only be speculated from other details.

Seeing Banjing Momomizu, Dazai waved to her, looking in a good mood, and introduced the person beside him to the girl, "I just met this gentleman, he is a very interesting person."

"...Hi, I'm Banjing Taoshui, please give me your advice."

Regarding Dazai's "very interesting", Banjing Momomi has reservations, after all... this person is wearing a white coat!It's a real white coat!Except for Mr. Yao who is dancing with swords, the ones in white coats are either perverts or monsters!

"The coast and the valley are strict." The voice of the uncle in the white coat was separated by a mask, and it sounded a little distorted.Seeing that Banjing Taoshui seemed to be very concerned about the appearance of the disinfection mask, he shrugged and explained: "The air in the city is too dirty, don't you think so?"

"Huh?" Banjing Taoshui understood that this person was a clean freak, "Ah... um... I think it's okay..."

"I just talked to this gentleman about the characteristics of each city. It feels really magical, those urban stories. Hey, MOMO-chan, do you know that creatures that can move without heads really exist! There are also legendary elves Wow, I must go and meet you if you have the chance!" Dazai said cheerfully, he seemed very interested in urban legends, "I don't know if the elves are male or female, if it's a lady, maybe you can try to ask You can die with me~"

"So what you are interested in is actually not some urban legend, but suicide." Banjing Taoshui complained expressionlessly.

"A moment is not enough to be the joy of life, I only believe in the purity of the moment of death. So... Boss, please bring me a box of canned crab meat with detergent!" Dazai greeted the owner of the barbecue stall, even though there was already There are several empty cans piled up.

"We don't serve such terrible food in our store." The boss put the newly opened can on the table. "Please enjoy."

The newly arrived canned crab meat attracted most of Dazai's attention. He chewed the food in his mouth, and his voice was slurred, "Why did MOMO sauce come out, can't you sleep? Is something on your mind?"

"A little bit." Banjing Momozuki rubbed his head, "In the case during the day, Naoji Uehara said that he would always dream of committing suicide by drinking a bomb, but I—"

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Banjing Taoshui's words, she pressed to answer—

"Is it Ms. Banjing?" The voice on the other side was somewhat apologetic: "This is the Shonan Detention Center. Mr. Naoji Uehara, who is new here today, insisted on saying a word to you. Originally, his request was not allowed according to the regulations. , but for various reasons, I'm not very good at refusing, so..."

Banjing Taoshui was silent for a few seconds, and said: "I see, let him tell me." She glanced at Dazai, seeing that he was concentrating on eating canned food, and for some reason, she quietly lowered the volume of the phone.

"Miss with 'Sakurabuki' hair, my psychiatrist asked me to give you a message." Uehara Naoji's voice was lower than during the day, filtered through the phone signal, which made his voice a little strange——

"MOMO, I am everywhere."

Banjing Momozuki's fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened.

"Who asked you to—" Waiting for her to finish asking, the other party hung up the phone.Listening to the busy tone from the mobile phone, Banjing Taoshui pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes concealed the momentary solemnity in her eyes.

"Dazai," she raised her head, and said to the young man who was still battling with canned crab meat, "I'm sorry, I can't go to Hakone, I have something to do and I need to go back to Yokohama right away, you...you and your colleagues have fun."

When she dropped this sentence, she was afraid of being seen, so she didn't dare to look at Dazai, but when Dazai said vaguely, "Oh, it's a pity that Momo-chan is gone, what a pity", she turned her back to Dazai. He waved his hand.

She didn't see that the smile in the eyes of Dazai behind him faded away, but in an instant it became normal again, as if the solemnity that just appeared was just an illusion.

"Youth is so good~" Kishitani Senyan, who noticed all this beside him, said.

"Mr. Kishibe seems to have misunderstood something." Dazai stood up, "We are not lovers, I really need to use one word to describe our relationship..." Dazai thought for a while, and said: "Maybe we can be called relatives .”

Maza was too small, and Dazai, who had been nestled on it for too long, and his blood was a little stagnant, moved his waist and legs, and his joints made toothache "crackling" sounds.

"Mr. Kishitani, I have written down what you said. The detective agency will send investigators to Ikebukuro." After moving his body, Dazai took out his mobile phone from his pocket, his fingertips jumped on the screen, and gave Kunikida an extremely fast motion. Dubu sent an email, "The information you provided was very timely. Recently, the detective agency did receive a commission about the disappearance of people in Ikebukuro, but—"

Dazai raised his lips slightly, "You seem to be hiding something about the truth about the disappearance of people." He raised his brows, his dark pupils seemed to be able to absorb the light around him: "Let me guess, will you experiment with humans? related?"

"Who knows?" The uncle in a white coat wearing a disinfectant mask spread his hands, "After all, I'm just a poor adult who hates the dirty air in Tokyo and worries about my son's aesthetic problems every day."

"Adults also have their own helplessness." Dazai said noncommittally, and after replying to a recent email, he put his phone back into his pocket, and put his hands in his pocket by the way. "'Daughters' are much harder to manage than sons."

The new email is from Guangjin Liulang, the centurion leader of the Hong Kong gangster fighting organization "Black Lizard".

"to Dazai Osamu: Higuchi Ichiyo has been told, what else do I need to do next? ——by Hirotsu Yanagi"

***

Ryunosuke Akutagawa recently discovered that his female subordinate, Ichiyo Higuchi, would secretly look at him with indescribable eyes, and after looking at him, she would take out her mobile phone and poke at him for a long time, wondering what she was doing.

Is there something dirty on your face?

Or the wrong clothes?

Akutagawa took out his mobile phone and took a look at the screen like a mirror - his face was fine, his clothes were in good shape, and there was nothing disrespectful about it.

When Higuchi Ichiyo looked away from the phone screen, he happened to see Akutagawa put his own phone back into his pocket.

Her gaze grew weirder.In the dark alley, the screen of her mobile phone illuminated an inch of space under the two of them.

What is displayed on the screen is the chat group that Guangjin Liulang recommended her to join before——

[Rashomon fans]: I have to work overtime tonight, everyone, go to bed early, and pay attention to saving electricity.

"Higuchi."

Hearing Akutagawa calling her, Higuchi Ichiyo stood still reflexively, "Yes, senior!"

Akutagawa covered his lips and coughed lightly, staring at her with dark pupils, his tone was cold: "Are you dissatisfied with working overtime tonight?"

"No, I don't have any dissatisfaction!" Higuchi Ichiyo quickly shook his head, "It's better to say, I'm very happy to be able to go on missions with Senior!"

"Then stop looking at your phone all the time and save electricity."

Save electricity...

Rashomon fans, working overtime, saving electricity...

——I didn't expect Akutagawa-senpai to be someone who likes chatting online too!

While Akutagawa wasn't paying attention, Higuchi Ichiyo secretly took out his mobile phone, secretly poked and changed his screen name to "I don't regret accusing my boss in this life".

At this moment, Banjing Taoshui, who hadn't paid attention to the chat group at all, had no idea of ​​the undercurrent surging between the parties.

She sneaked into the Xiangnan Detention Center.

Naoji Uehara, who was held alone, was lying on a hard plank bed with his back to the door. When he heard the key to open the door, he just turned over, but did not get up from the bed.

"I knew you would come."

He looked at Banjing Momozui who had changed into a guard uniform at the door, and said in a voice that had been expected for a long time.

"Who is your psychiatrist?" Banjing Taoshui just asked this sentence, but suddenly changed her mind, "Forget it, I'll 'look' for myself."

As soon as the voice fell, like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, transparent ripples suddenly rippled in the air, and the singing of the choir faintly came from a distant and unknown place, and the gospel of God that came with the long bell was like a world-ending The flood flooded the guard room where the prisoners were temporarily held in an instant.

"Extraordinary ability——

"All living beings are sinful." "

As if falling from a high altitude at a high speed, and passing through the sea of ​​clouds to overlook the vast land, the other party's sense of guilt is like a swift gust of wind, and the scenes of memories captured during the fall are also like mountains and rivers, flashing before Banjing Taoshui's eyes quickly——

Five years ago, a boy who went to the suburbs to sketch but lost his way ran into an unfinished building by mistake. He was stunned by the gunshots on the top of the building and the blood flowing down the stairs. After waking up, he developed psychogenic amnesia and forgot the experience.

A year ago, the Junior Club inadvertently came into contact with the news about the suicide by drinking bombs - the loud voices of passers-by talking on the phone, the magazine covers on the roadside newsstands, the newspaper stuffed by the milkman, the news broadcast on the LED display screen in the commercial street, The nanny at home and the neighbor's parents are short... It seems that someone planned all this, and the hypnosis day after day is about to wake up his lost memory due to self-protection.

A month ago, a high school student who dyed his hair green decided to see a psychiatrist because of frequent nightmares.Just after finishing the registration, someone suddenly pressed her shoulder. It was a female hand, white and slender, but the finger that pulled the trigger was calloused. But at this moment, this hand did not hold a gun.

——"Have you often had nightmares lately? Sometimes your mood fluctuates violently, and you occasionally have hallucinations during the day, don't you?"

——"For this kind of psychological problem, it is better to come to an independent psychological consultation room."

——"It's more confidential than in the hospital. You don't want your parents to know."

The boy turned around and saw the woman's face behind him.The pupils of Banai Momozuki, who was peeping at Naoji Uehara's memory, suddenly constricted.

The cold feeling is transmitted from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and every strand of hair seems to be frozen.

The girl who appeared in Uehara Naoji's memory had a face that was extremely familiar to Hanjing Momozuki, so familiar that she could see it in the mirror every morning when she woke up and washed her face in front of the mirror.

"I am the Mirror Man, and I am you.Have you forgotten that we were originally the same person?"

Through Naoji Uehara's eyes, she saw another 'Hamii Momozuki' slightly raised the corners of her lips, showing a smile exactly like hers.

"MOMO, I am everywhere."

The author has something to say: a moment is not enough to be the joy of life, I only believe in the purity of the moment of death.
