[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

At this moment, a commotion sounded from the front, breaking the relaxed and tranquil atmosphere of the central garden, and even the white pigeons that were waiting by the fountain to be fed by the tourists fluttered into the air as if they had been alarmed.

Then a group of heavily armed guards hurried past, as if they were searching for something.

After the guards walked away, there were small discussions in the central garden.

"what happened?"

"I heard that someone sneaked into the island..."

"What, is it a terrorist?"

The people who were discussing did not notice that there was a man in white standing among the white pigeons flying by the fountain.Not only the clothes, but also the long hair that lay softly on the back was white.

Even if someone notices him and sees him stretching out his hand with pigeons pecking at his palm, he will think that he is just an ordinary tourist. Only when he gets closer will he find that what he holds in his hand is not bird feed, but A gemstone of the highest quality.

"As expected, there is no one who overturned my expectations." The man in white stared at the white dove's flapping wings, and half-closed his eyes wearily, covering his dark red pupils, "It's so boring, this blank space Rough world."

Also when no one noticed, that figure quietly disappeared in the gray shadow of the white dove passing by.

Not long after he disappeared, when someone went to feed the pigeons again, they found something strange.

"A dove with a jewel in its mouth!"

Such voices grew from small to loud, and finally gathered together, causing riots very quickly.The pigeons were frightened and scattered.

"Here comes a troublesome person." Osamu Dazai said, raising his hand to catch a gem that fell from the beak of a flying pigeon.He held the clear red gemstone on his fingertips, making his skin fairer and fairer.

"Speaking of which, does Miss Guang like gems?" He looked at the gems in his hand, and his thoughts suddenly diverged.

Bei Chenguang shook his head.

"It's an expected answer, but I think there is a gemstone that may be suitable for Miss Guang unexpectedly!" Osamu Dazai said happily, and threw the red gemstone into the grass next to him, "Miss Guang has heard of [Mithulimi]? A gem with a distinctive name, it is said that it is called [the gem that cannot be owned]."

Bei Chenguang didn't interrupt, but just listened to him quietly.

"Because everyone who collects it will lose it 'accidentally' in the end, no matter what method is used to preserve it. Even if it is locked in the safe of the safest bank in the world, it will eventually disappear." Osamu Dazai Talking and laughing.It's not the usual kind of smile that always has other meanings, but the expression that the young man naturally shows when he talks about something he is interested in, "It's almost as if he is dissatisfied with those masters who ran away by themselves~"

"Sounds very interesting." Bei Chenguang looked at his smile, and there was a faint, fleeting smile in his eyes.

"That's right! But if the owner is Miss Guang, [Mithulimi] will definitely not run away." Saying this, Osamu Dazai was already thinking about when to get that gem.

Because he was distracted thinking about this, he happened to miss the flashing smile in those golden eyes.

The guards quickly discovered the commotion here, and assigned staff to maintain order and investigate the suspicious person who caused the chaos.

Coincidentally, John, the captain of the previous search team, was also among the guards maintaining order. After questioning a few tourists, he saw Osamu Dazai and Bei Chenguang standing not far away, so he walked over here.

"Why are you here?"

"Miss Guang and I went out to do some shopping, and when we passed by here, we saw a group of people seeming to be grabbing something at the fountain." Osamu Dazai raised his hand to say hello, and after answering, he asked, "What happened?" huh, John?"

"Someone smuggled into the island. So far, we haven't found out how to get in." John's face turned black when he said this. [No one can enter the standard island through abnormal means] they have always been proud of. Today, they were smuggled in and they didn't even know how others got in. It's really shameful to say it.

"It is preliminarily determined that the person who used gemstones to cause riots in the Central Garden is the same person who smuggled in. Did you see any suspicious characters along the way?"

"Suspicious person..." Dazai rubbed his chin for a while, then pointed in a direction, and then said in an uncertain tone, "I seem to have seen someone coming, just walking in that direction Lost."

"Fujii, have you seen the characteristics of the stowaways?" John asked quickly, his eyes lit up, he didn't expect to get clues here.

"I didn't see the appearance clearly, but I'm sure of one thing, that person must like apples very much." Osamu Dazai shook his index finger and said in a firm tone.

John: "...?"

He is still adding: "Also, that person seems to like white clothes very much. Not only does he like to wear them, but he also likes to let others wear white clothes. If you see someone forcing others to wear white clothes, it should be This person is right."

"Don't talk about Apple, how do you know that you like to force others to wear white?" John said this with an indescribable mood. Is it?"

Bei Chenguang, who turned his head aside when Osamu Dazai was providing clues in a serious manner, found that John was asking himself, so he turned his head back, thought for a while and then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I smell the fragrance of apples. If I didn't eat apples often or carry them with me, I wouldn't have such a strong smell." She paused and continued with a serious attitude, "As for the clothes, I I didn't see it, maybe it was too... Fujii Ichiro felt it with his sixth sense, his sense has always been very keen."

"That's right, it's the sixth sense!" Osamu Dazai poked his head over, with a hearty smile on his face.

"Wait, wait a minute, let me sort it out." John pressed his forehead with a headache, "So the characteristics of a stowaway are..."

"A person wearing white clothes and carrying an apple with him." A soft and gentle voice came from the side, "That's what they said."

The person who spoke was a gentle and elegant young man, tall, with the quiet temperament of a library administrator.

"Are you again...?" John asked subconsciously, and then frowned suspiciously after asking, "Why do you feel familiar?"

"I'm just an employee of a very small department. I should have met them by chance." The young man smiled and looked at them calmly and gently. "My name is Verne."

The author has something to say: John: It is a shame that someone sneaked into the island under my nose!

Don't panic, you will still see Buteizai who sneaked into the island and hid in the garbage bin in the future hhhhh

Remember your mood at this time, this indescribable mood is the desire to complain, Mr. John!

And the two people who are serious nonsense in this chapter (albeit the truth)

Whether it's Shibusawa or Verne, I actually like them all, maybe because of loneliness?In fact, I have always felt that Wen Ye has a sense of loneliness that runs through the whole story, and this sense of loneliness is reflected in almost everyone.
