[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"You actually chased me to this island?" Nakajima Atsushi pulled out the Rashomon that pierced his shoulder, and stepped back step by step, "Do you hate me that much?"

"Not hatred. I can't move forward without tearing you apart."

Akutagawa said calmly, the black coat fluttered, and the black beast transformed by the black cloth bit at Atsushi Nakajima's leg.

"Mr. Dazai is also on this island!"

"I know. So—for Dazai-san, I must cut off your head too." ①

Akutagawa took a step forward, and Atsushi Nakajima took a step back.

"There are two Dazai-san on the island, have you seen them?" Atsushi Nakajima leaned his back against the wall, tearing open the Rashomon who was biting his leg in cold sweat, while talking to delay time.

His mouth was bald, completely unaware of what he had said.

As for Akutagawa who heard these words, he paused obviously, even Rashomon froze in the air, "What...?"

The moment he stopped, an arm stretched out from the wall behind Atsushi Nakajima, pulling Atsushi through the wall.

"Idiot! Come here!" Then came the voice of Nemo, the boss of the Thieves Group.

The ability to pass through objects with a thickness of less than five centimeters with the objects it touches is Nemo's ability.

Akutagawa frowned in disgust when he came back to his senses, and his anger was even stronger than before, "It's ugly to say such nonsense just to survive, you tiger."

He easily penetrated the wall and chased after him.

——

"Bilgo, if you say you have to kill your companions in order to survive, would you do it?" In the bandit group, in the impression of Atsushi Nakajima, the young Gabe, who admired the boss very much, was alone with Bilgo. When I suddenly looked at a certain place and asked such a question.

"Why do you ask that?" Birgo, who was busy deciphering the security system of the confidential area, stared at the screen and asked back.

If he looked up at Gabe, he would find that the boy's expression at this time was completely different from his usual carefree and cheerful appearance.

"I just thought of it suddenly, so I asked."

"Why is your tone so strange?" Birgo looked away from the screen for a while in bewilderment, glanced at Gabe, and then lowered his head after seeing nothing unusual.

"In order to survive, you must kill your companion... I don't know, maybe I will." Birgo said listlessly, "This kind of thing can't be said until it reaches the critical point, Gabe."

"But when it really comes to that time, I think I will choose to tell my companion. Although the boss and you are very unreliable, the companion will do everything possible to keep you alive when you are dying. person?"

"……I understand."

As soon as Gabe finished speaking, a group of heavily armed soldiers poured in from outside the room and surrounded them.

"Hands up, you're surrounded!"

Gabe and Birgo looked at the strength gap between the two sides, and obediently raised their hands to catch them.

At the same time, in the confidential area on the fifth floor underground, Atsushi Nakajima found a black briefcase containing supernatural weapons.

——

"Dazai?" Akiko Yosano, who met the two on the street, looked at Osamu Dazai, then at Bei Chenguang next to him, shook his head, and made a sharp judgment based on female intuition, "No, you shouldn't be That guy."

"Then you are the other Dazai and..." Kunikida said.

"My name is Bei Chenguang."

Yosano Akiko swallowed the words "his girlfriend", looked at the two of them with one hand on her hip for a while, and then pinned the hair on the right side behind her ear, "You guys came here on purpose, right? What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you to save someone, Miss Yosano." Bei Chenguang walked up to Yosano Akiko and said such a sentence. Although his expression didn't change, there was indeed a sincere and serious request in his eyes looking at her mean.

Yosano Akiko subconsciously glanced at Bei Chenguang who was just smiling and did not speak Dazai Osamu, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you going to save?"

"Guardian of the island."

At the same time that Bei Chenguang said these words, the ground of the street shook, and the neat stone bricks paved on the ground split from the middle, and something grew out of the ground.

Those were countless arms made of stones. After growing out of the ground, they stretched out their five fingers and began to attack pedestrians indiscriminately.

"What is this?!" Yosano Akiko jumped to the side, avoiding the slapped palm.

At this time, her mobile phone rang, which was the specific ringtone of a detective agency member.

"Doctor Yosano, where are you now!" Yosano Akiko answered the phone, the first thing that came out was Kunikida's loud voice, the voice of Kunikida on the other end of the phone, it sounded like he was in a fierce battle with something.

"I was on the street, and a lot of stone arms suddenly grew on the ground. Is it the same on your side?"

"That's right." Kunikida's voice seemed to sound at the same time as the sound of the house collapsing, but his voice was still clear, mixed with eagerness, "Doctor Yosano, listen to me! Dazai was stabbed to death, The heartbeat has stopped, can you rush to the clock tower now?!"

"Is that over there at the clock tower? I'll go there immediately!" Yosano Akiko pursed her lips, her expression serious.

"Atsushi will find a way to defeat the person who made these stone arms. In the meantime, find Dazai and use that method to save him." Kunikida's voice has calmed down, "That bastard Dazai is causing so much trouble Don't even think about dying like this!"

But both Kunikida and Yosano knew that the method must be used within 2 minutes after the heart stops to be effective. Even if they rush past now, the chance of success is already very small.

"Don't worry, there's Wells the time supernatural being over there." At this time, Osamu Dazai, who was standing next to Bei Chenguang, who hadn't said much, suddenly smiled softly, and said unhurriedly, "As long as the two [Dazai] can be saved by arriving within 10 minutes."

With a familiar voice and a relaxed tone, Kunikida on the other end of the phone also heard these two words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since the other Dazai said so, then just spare no effort to do it."

"I see." Hanging up the conversation with Akiko Yosano, he gave a mad smile that is exclusive to martial arts doctors, "It's rare to be able to use abilities on that guy Dazai, of course I will spare no effort to save him~ oh~ "

If there were other members of the detective agency here, seeing this expression with Akiko Yosano, they would probably be terrified from the bottom of their souls.

……

Next to the clock tower, in the basement specially built by Wells, where the time flow rate is different from that of the outside world, lie Wells and Dazai who have been fatally traumatized.

Dazai, whose heartbeat had stopped and was kept alive thanks to Wells' abilities, lay on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was in deep sleep, with a smile like a child on Sunday.

Wells breathed slowly, carefully maintaining the ability to control the time in the room.

"Verne..." At this last moment, the blond woman who had already thought of everything let out a slight sigh.Even in the face of the fate of death, she is still calm and fearless, but when she thinks of the young Verne who only wanted to save other people's lives, she unconsciously wants to sigh.

There was a sound of footsteps at the entrance to the basement, and Wells raised his eyes to look over.

A woman in a white shirt and a black skirt with a black waist stepped on high-heeled shoes and walked in with astonishing momentum. Osamu Dazai and Bei Chenguang were a little behind.

Bei Chenguang turned his gaze and met Wells who was looking at her.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed woman breathed gently, then smiled, moved her lips, and said a word silently.

"Thank you, World."

The author has something to say: the leader Zaiyou held his light when he fell, and Wu Jingzai also spared no effort to find a way to save his companion when he was about to die.Everyone in Butei is really nice, and Don Dun is also great, especially in the original book, Dundon Akutagawa joined forces to defeat Gabe just to save Zai... Ah, just thinking about it makes me happy, everyone is trying to find a way to keep him alive.

Then because Wells used the ability on Buteizai (the middle principle is omitted), he got the memory of the last week, and then... [Smiling gradually rampant]

And then because Wells is the supernatural power itself, which is closer to reality, that is to say, when she knows that she is a supernatural power, she also perceives the identity of the light.

Chief Zai: ...
