[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"Yokohama disappeared?!" Natsume Soseki paused while writing.

"Yes, the whole of Yokohama has disappeared from the satellite map." Osamu Dazai propped his elbows on the table, fiddled with the pen on the table, his eyes were heavy, "The Hound and the Secret Service Branch are completely out of touch, if you want to do the best If you have a bad plan..."

Aya Pedestrian leaned against the wall, crushing out the smoke that had just emerged from the thin pipe, "In that case, how do you plan to explain to the military and government?"

"Confession? No need to explain."

Osamu Dazai crossed his legs, and there was no smile at the corner of his flattened mouth, "Even if Yokohama disappears forever, this is a necessary sacrifice... If you want to save the world, you must first have such an awareness, Mr. Natsume."

After hearing the news of Yokohama's disappearance, Natsume Soseki's pen has stayed on the paper for a long time.

"Do you want to stop writing, Mr. Natsume?"

After hearing this, Ms. Y Village, who had been sitting quietly reading a book by herself, closed the book in her hand and looked at Osamu Dazai with a peaceful face, "Okay, young man, since you have a way to deal with unexpected events, Don't provoke the old man like this."

"Be careful if you overstimulate your blood pressure and no one will write a book."

"Nonsense, I don't have high blood pressure!" Natsume Soseki slapped the table angrily.

"Ah, ah, you are indeed the leader of the Shadow of the Supernatural Secret Service Division." Osamu Dazai laughed, and the aura that had just been raised just disappeared, "There is no need for a solution, it is just [book]'s dying struggle, as long as it is destroyed Drop it and Yokohama will come back naturally.”

"But there is still one page of the book that hasn't been brought back." Ayayo pointed out sharply, "You asked Kyogoku to pick it up, but it's been a day since Yokohama disappeared, and the page hasn't been brought back. This can only mean one thing ――When Kyogoku disappeared in Yokohama, he didn’t have time to bring out the pages.”

"Oh, this one~"

Osamu Dazai was turning his head to the side and laughing, when a faint voice came from the entrance of the underground library.

"It's back."

They followed the sound and saw the woman with pale golden eyes appearing out of thin air at the door of the underground library.

She stood there quietly, lowered her eyes to glance at the twisted blank pages in her hands, and then slowly walked over.

She walked up to Osamu Dazai, just about to hand him the pages, but she withdrew her hand as if she suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and finally just put the pages on the table next to her.

The page fell silent after leaving her hand, lying quietly on the table like an ordinary piece of paper.

"I took the page back." Bei Chenguang turned around and looked at Dazai Zhi who was sitting on the chair, moved a little closer, stroked his face with his right hand, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, "Why do you show such a look?" expression?"

"……what expression?"

Bei Chenguang blinked his eyes, his tone was not the usual calmness, but he said softly with some hesitation, "It seems that I did something to scare you."

Osamu Dazai sighed, raised his hand to cover Bei Chenguang's eyes that were too transparent, raised his head slightly, and restrainedly placed a soft kiss on her lips, like thin snow and first cherry blossoms, and then pressed against her forehead, breathing blended, and frankly Admitted, "Yes, fear."

"Because it's the light, so I dare not take any risks." He seemed to be struggling to breathe, and whispered, tightening his clothes on his chest, "Because... if one day the light disappears, I don't even know where to find you ah…"

Bei Chenguang was silent for a while, stretched out his hand to hug him, and his voice was as firm as ever, "I will not leave your side. If there is a day when I really disappear, just wait for me where I am, and I will definitely find a way to come back to find you." you."

——

Yokohama at this time.

Atsushi Nakajima and Kyoka Izumi, who left the coffee shop downstairs of the detective agency and were planning to find other clues, met Ryunosuke Akutagawa who just broke out from the Kokaku Building.

Not the white one, but the fierce, black Akutagawa in a small foreign dress.

"Akutagawa, you have come to this world too!" Atsushi Nakajima raised his hand and waved, it was the first time he felt happy when he saw Akutagawa.It may be because the blow that Akutagawa replaced him in the Armed Detective Agency in this world was too severe, so that now he sees the black Akutagawa and feels that he looks kindly.

"Idiot." Akutagawa Ryunosuke glanced at Nakajima Atsushi and Izumi Kyoka, thinking of the two people he had just met, silently walked away from Nakajima Atsushi.

"Wait, you are coming from the direction of the Hong Kong Building. Have you seen Mr. Dazai in this world?" Nakajima Atsushi called him.

Because of the words [Mr. Dazai] in his words, he managed to make Ryunosuke Akutagawa stop.

"You mean Mr. Dazai of this world?"

"That's right, I just saw the detective agency in this world, and found that Mr. Dazai and I are not in the detective agency, but replaced by another man I don't know, and... you." Atsushi Nakajima carefully looked at Akutagawa Ryuuji At a glance, he was ready for him to question or get angry, but found that he just put his hands in his pockets and listened calmly, "So I think, Mr. Dazai in this world should be the one I met on the standard island before." Mr. Dazai is the leader of Hong Kong gangsters."

"I see." Akutagawa Ryunosuke nodded slightly, turned his head and stared at the Hong Kong Building with a cold expression.

Could it be that you are thinking about breaking in?

Atsushi Nakajima guessed in fear, and suddenly felt Kyoka tugging on his clothes.

"Over there, I saw Mr. Ranpo." She pointed to an alley on the left.

Atsushi Nakajima's eyes lit up.

yes!If it is Mr. Ranpo, no matter which world Mr. Ranpo is in, he can see through the truth at a glance, maybe he can ask for help!

"Little Jinghua, let's go find Mr. Ranbu!" He hurriedly ran towards the alley Jinghua pointed to.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood where he was thinking, and finally followed.

Atsushi Nakajima chased into the alley, and he was taken aback when he saw the people inside.

There were not only Ranpo-san in the alley, but also Tanizaki, Kenji...and that little guy who always wore a black hat in the port mafia cadre.

"Senior Nakahara." Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who walked in behind, bowed slightly, walked quietly behind Nakahara Nakaya and stood still.

"Ah, it's Akutagawa." Nakahara Nakaya nodded, and turned around to continue exchanging information with Edogawa Ranpo.

"In this case, I can also tell you the news I got." He pressed his hat, "I went to the border connecting Yokohama and Yokosuka before, and found something."

"Based on the border line, everything outside Yokohama has disappeared. No matter which direction you go, you will eventually reach this border. There is nothingness outside the border, and people inside cannot go out."

Nakahara was also talking, and suddenly called Edogawa Ranpo, "Little detective, do you still remember when you attacked Hong Kong gangsters before, you pulled me into that novel?"

"Of course." Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes.

"Maybe now we are just in a fake book world." Nakahara also twitched his lips, "It's the same trick, but this time the whole of Yokohama is pulled in."

The author has something to say: Another day where Kwang Jae acts like no one else~

Bystander: ...hehe.

As I was writing, I couldn't help but think about a philosophical question - why do people eat sugar?What would happen if you didn't eat candy and only ate knives?Also, why do some people turn into candy as soon as the plot is written? 【Posture of Thinking Philosophy.jpg】

Some plots seem to be sugar, but they are actually a small foreshadowing: D

I have to write quickly, I can't hold back the mood of spoilers!

Wait, when it comes to Mr. Po's novel world, I feel that Mr. Po may have a hidden identity!After all, his ability is too similar to the rules of the book, it is equivalent to creating a small world!
