[Bungo Stray Dogs] With the Light and the Dust

"Then where do you want to go after you leave?" Bei Chenguang looked at Dazai Zhi who leaned in front of her, and unexpectedly asked a rather subjective question, "Is there any place you want to go in particular?"

When she said these words, her pale golden eyes looked the same as usual, they were described as divine by Oda, but there seemed to be some subtle differences.

Osamu Dazai, who leaned over and looked at Bei Chenguang, noticed this keenly. He watched this change with an unknown emotion, almost admiring, and his smile gradually widened, "Can it be anywhere?"

Bei Chenguang nodded.

"Then I want to go to the North Pole!"

"can."

etc!The atmosphere that has been set up for so long is just to go to the North Pole?Are you serious? !

After listening to the whole process, Chi Yejiu resisted the desire to complain, and moved quietly to make himself more comfortable, because the rock wall behind him was too rough.

"But the trip to the North Pole is not in a hurry. When the people who pick up Mr. Chiye come, maybe we can follow them to a very interesting place~"

"It's a place I've always wanted to visit, but I haven't been able to find a chance to go there. Every time I have this plan, I will be inexplicably delayed by other things, so that I haven't made it until..." Osamu Dazai expressed regret Said in a tone of voice, "Obviously I am looking forward to it."

"I thought you would want to go to Yokohama." Bei Chenguang didn't ask curiously, but just said this.

Then, his expression suddenly became silent, as if the mask's leash had suddenly snapped and fell off, the original expression was erased, and his kite-colored eyes couldn't find focus for a while.

"...It doesn't make sense anymore, I have seen this world." After silence, he said in a very soft voice, "Based on the time when the [Death Cruise] incident happened, Oda Saku in this world has already passed away." If I die, soon [I] in this world will defect from Hong Kong, then join the Armed Detective Agency, and go to the side that helps others according to Oda Saku's words... It's a preordained trajectory."

"I'm not really interested in meeting [me] in this world, so there's no need to go there."

Because the voice was too soft, Chi Yejiu didn't hear these words, he only felt the obviously depressing atmosphere in the silence, which made him unconsciously hold his breath.

"Different."

In the end, Bei Chenguang, who was listening quietly, broke the stagnant atmosphere, "You have created a miracle, Osamu Dazai."

So, no more...

"Yeah, the only world with miracles." He sighed, "It's really wonderful."

Chiyejiu listened to the vague conversation between the two, and made a lot of guesses in his mind, but there was a voice in his heart that warned him not to listen or guess.

Now he still doesn't know why he feels this way.Maybe it will be a long, long time later, when the child grows into an adult and has experienced enough suffering before he can understand.

——The truth is the abyss.

"Before you go to the place you are looking forward to, eat something well." Bei Chenguang still remembered the incident when Osamu Dazai ate a mouthful of poisonous mushrooms before. She took out the bread she found on the cruise ship and stuffed it quite forcefully. Two pieces were given to Osamu Dazai, and the other two pieces were given to Chiyejiu.

"Thank you, thank you!" Chi Yejiu, who was thinking divergently, came back to his senses and quickly took it.

Osamu Dazai looked at the two pieces of bread stuffed into his hands, tore open the package under Bei Chenguang's gaze, and ate it slowly, he looked so peaceful that he didn't look like him anymore.

After staring at him to finish eating, Bei Chenguang left to do other things.

"What do you think, Mr. Chiye?"

Akaye Hato, who was sipping bread, stopped moving and looked up at Osamu Dazai who was standing at the junction of the sun.

The overly precocious boy thought about it, and said cautiously, "Is it okay for me to hear those things?"

"right."

"Why do you know that someone will come to pick me up and where it will go? I don't even know." This is the strangest thing about Chiyejiu.

"Don't Akaye-kun think that the sea area where the cruise ship stopped sailing is a coincidence." Osamu Dazai pointed to the cruise ship that ran aground on the coast, "The sailing island with independent navigation capabilities was jointly designed by three European countries, Germany, Britain and France— ―Standard Island, a large sea city, usually floats in the South Pacific Ocean in pursuit of the most suitable climate for power generation.”①

"If you want to search for the survivors on the [Death Cruise], it is the fastest to send people from the standard. Besides, no matter if you depart from any port, you will miss the golden rescue time."

"In order to build this island, rich people all over the world spent money generously. As far as I know [Chiye] is at the top of this list of rich people. I think if it is the request of the Chiye family, standard will also I am willing to send some people to search for it."

After finishing the analysis, Osamu Dazai paused for a moment, and added the last sentence, "Of course, the premise of all this is that Akaye-kun is valued enough in the family, important enough that the family is willing to use this favor for you."

……Terrible.

Chi Yejiu looked at the casual smile on the man's face, and realized the subtext he didn't say.

[A child with six positions hidden in his body, no matter what the reason is, he will not be the one who will be easily given up. ]

"...My supernatural ability [Duansheli] is an equivalent exchange of vitality, a balance between life and death. It is not limited to myself, but can also use myself as a medium, such as transferring the vitality of A to B." Chiyejiu After hesitating for a moment, he said the actual situation, "There is a person in the family with the ability to see other people's abilities and their potential, because my ability potential is very useful to the family, and I have been protected since I was born. But the ability has not been activated."

"Without knowing that I have activated the ability, I am not sure whether the family will use this favor for me."

The precocious boy tried his best to speak calmly, but he couldn't hide the uneasiness in his eyes.

Osamu Dazai stared sideways, and saw some familiar shadows on him, as well as the ending he could almost foresee.

"It's so sad."

Hearing what he said, Chiyejiu rubbed his face, and raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty, "This is how a big family is, and the interests of the family are above the individual."

"I'm talking about your ability."

Osamu Dazai stared at him, like staring at an ignorant child who doesn't know the cruelty of reality, with a look of almost pity, "I know a person, her supernatural power is to heal the dying, as long as there is no death, no matter how heavy it is The wounds can be recovered. So someone used this ability to create an undead army during the war... Lord Chiye, do you want to guess the ending?"

"……what?"

"Soldiers who were supposed to leave the front line after being injured to go to the rear for treatment, because of the existence of this superhuman, can only be continuously injured, healed, and then fill the front line of the war endlessly."

Hearing this, Chiyejiu already had a premonition about the ending.

"In the end, the soldiers who couldn't stand the army of death chose to commit suicide."

"What about you, Akaye-kun." Dazai Osamu gave him a bottomless smile, "Your ability is destined to save one person, and one person must die, so how do you decide to use your ability? ?”

The author has something to say: ①From the special code "55minutes", the place where Butei died once: D

Then in the end, the army of death is talking about Akiko, the content of the comics.

According to Wen Hao's style, the ability of Duan Sheli is a proper tragedy.Originally, this ability and Chiyejiu were designed for the brain hole of another article, but I didn't want to write something that was too depressing and dark, so I took it out and put it here for the leader Zai to teach and play as a student.

In fact, I have always been curious about how much power the president has, so big that he can keep Akiko. If the painting style is normal and conspiracy theories, Akiko may be controlled by the state to serve high-level people, big shots, etc. After all, it is a rare treatment. Department (Stop your brain! I'm too dark, woo woo woo).

"Duansheli" is the work of Eiko Yamashita, but it is actually a work about family life.
