Before leaving the Armed Detective Agency that day, Atsushi Nakajima and I exchanged contact information.

While it might sound unprofessional to exchange contact information with someone your organization wants to capture, I have my own agenda.

This boy will obviously follow Kunikida's instructions enthusiastically, "If you find out that Dazai may commit suicide, you should contact Aki" and provide me with Dazai's movements.

Being targeted by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Atsushi Nakajima's situation cannot be said to be dangerous, and more dangerous than anyone in the Armed Detective Agency.

I admit that I was a mean selfish person who was indifferent to his life or death and just wanted to use him as much as I could before he disappeared from this world.The instructions to him were only out of Dazai's appreciation for him.

Atsushi Nakajima is not my mission target, I will not catch him; but he is a target of the port mafia, so I will not rescue him either.

Even though he was part of an armed detective agency.

Even when he said to me "I will work hard! I will try not to disappoint you and Mr. Dazai!", it was very exciting.

This kind boy with low self-esteem who was admired by Dazai almost became the target of my task.

What should I do if the leader entrusted me with this task?

From the moment the "Human Tiger" reward appeared, I stepped on an ever-expanding crack, with Gang Hei on one side, Dazai on the other, and the bottomless abyss directly below.

Just a word from the person sitting at the top is enough to make me fall down.

"Hey~Qiu, if I ask you to quit Mafia and join the Armed Detective Agency to work with me, what do you think of this proposal?"

Two years ago, Dazai said this to me.

In the past two years, he has mentioned it more than once.

In the past Dazai kept rejecting me, but now I reject him again and again.

I joined the Port Mafia for him, but I couldn't betray the Port Mafia for him.

As one of the five cadres, the interests of Hong Kong and black are integrated with me. That is my responsibility and my place of standing.

For so many years, it was Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuya, Oda Sakunosuke and Mori Ogai who taught me together.

If I live up to the "Tao" and "righteousness" before leaving Hong Kong, I will not be myself, and I will not be the Takeshita Akira who was shaped by Osamu Dazai himself and recognized by him.

So, Dun-jun, I'm sorry.

After that day, I never went to the Armed Detective Agency again, and I resolutely implemented the principle of "don't listen or watch, whoever survives will live the life" for Akutagawa's task of arresting the tiger.

One morning, Atsushi Nakajima, who had just joined the company, called: "Mr. Qiu, is Mr. Dazai at home? He didn't come to work, and he couldn't be reached no matter whether he texted or called—"

Me: "No, he went out early in the morning."

Atsushi Nakajima was startled and panicked: "Then he might have an accident on the road?!"

I was just about to tell him not to think too much, when I suddenly saw an incoming letter from the working machine.

I glanced at it, and it was impressive: "Former cadre Osamu Dazai was arrested and left a threatening letter, return to the discussion immediately."

The sender is Mori Ogai.

I calmly said, "Mr. Dazai is fine, I know where he is."

Atsushi Nakajima's voice sounded like a sigh of relief.

"...Ah, you know, that's good. Mr. Qiu, I'm sorry to disturb you!"

The phone hung up, but I stood up quickly, packing my things anxiously and preparing to rush to Hong Kong and Hei, feeling complicated for a while.

Last night.

I ran my fingers through Dazai's hair, pressing with his favorite pressure to help him fall asleep.

Dazai closed his eyes and asked me, "Qiu, do you know who offered Dun-jun a reward of 70 billion?"

This is the first time we have talked about the incident that led to the direct confrontation between the Hong Kong gangsters and Wuzhen.

I shook my head: "I don't know, Akutagawa is in charge."

I didn't go out of my way to find the entrusting party's information.

Dazai smiled and said, "If you want to know, it's easy to know."

That's right.

"But you also know that the power of attorney we receive has always been kept confidential to the client." If it were anything else, I would know everything about Dazai.

"oh, I understand now."

Dazai didn't ask any more questions.

He opened his sleepy eyes and stroked my face along the line of my jaw, as if he wanted to remember my outline with his eyes and fingers.

"Qiu is a man of his own mind."

That pair of gentle iris said in the night.

"--I love so much."

Dazai's finger landed on my lips, pressed it lightly, and rubbed it with his fingertips as if emphasizing it: "Qiu, remember. We've been waiting for you here."

Before I could speak, he said, "Shh, don't say no this time."

"……it is good."

I say.

Then Dazai was "arrested" today.

If I contacted Dazai and asked me, his purpose of sneaking into Hong Kong gangsters alone at the risk of his own life is obvious-for the newcomer of Buteisha Atsushi Nakajima, in order to find out the profit driver behind the 70 billion reward.

I don't allow others to hurt Dazai, but what if he took the initiative to send it to your door?

He has what he wants, and I can't give it to him.

This fact makes me sad and powerless.

After I arrived at the Hong Kong and Black Office, I did not go to Mori Ogai, but asked someone, "Where is Akutagawa Ryunosuke now?"

To catch a tiger, get rid of Dazai first.

The person who did it could only be Akutagawa.

"Master Akutagawa went to the underground torture chamber just now."

Underground torture chamber!

My heart tightened, and the supernatural power "Nothingness" was activated instantly, and the body in the state of a soul penetrated the floor and fell straight to the ground.

The speed of nothingness is not bad, but I am still one step late.

"boom!!!"

"Pfft...cough..."

The man I was most familiar with had his hands locked to the wall by handcuffs and chains, revealing the white bandages on his wrists.His hoarse cough almost made my blood flow backwards.

Dazai's head was knocked to one side, his brown hair was scattered around his pale cheeks, blood was coughing up from his mouth.

The person who did it was dressed in black, with a thin figure and a cold demeanor.

His tone of hatred was as if he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and said: "Even if you are not indestructible, if you don't rely on supernatural powers, you can cause harm to you, as long as I think, I can kill you at any time. "

Whose life do you want?

As soon as I heard it, anger and killing intent came to my head at the same time.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, how dare you.

How dare you treat him like this!

Even though the anger had already started to ignite, I still maintained my sanity and did not show up directly, watching the communication between the former superior and subordinate in the void.

"Really, I'm putting on airs."

Dazai didn't care about Akutagawa's threat.

"You won't be arrogant for a few days. The detective agency will be wiped out in a few days, Renhu will be taken away, and you will be executed after that."

"Just you, can you do it? My new subordinate is much better than you."

Dazai's contemptuous ridicule undoubtedly ignited Akutagawa, and he punched Dazai's cheek furiously!

At that moment my sanity completely shattered.

I emerged from nothingness, grasped Akutagawa's arm with momentum, folded it hard in the opposite direction, and threw him to the ground!

Akutagawa's fist failed to touch Dazai in the end, and he was thrown into the air by me.

Before falling to the ground, Akutagawa urged Rashomon to pop back a few meters, his right arm hangs down strangely, and he said through gritted teeth, "It's you, ghost."

"Autumn~" Dazai immediately changed his tone and called out in surprise.

"It's me." I stood in front of Dazai, "Akutagawa, you will pay for your actions."

"My behavior?" Akutagawa sneered, "I'm dealing with traitors of the organization, what's wrong with that? But you, what are you doing?"

"Don't do anything, see if you're upset."

Speaking of which, the signal of war is already obvious between me and Akutagawa.

The will to fight is burning.

The underground torture room is not too big. In order to pursue the precision of the control, Akutagawa controlled no more than three blades, chasing me closely.

It doesn't bother me.

The biggest use of "Nothingness" in combat is to be invisible and have nowhere to guard against.

I seized the opportunity and kicked Akutagawa into the wall farthest from Dazai.

Thinking of Akutagawa beating Dazai just now, I wish I could kick him into meatloaf, let alone be merciless.

Akutagawa quickly got up to avoid, cursing while hiding: "What are you crazy about!"

"You know it well."

"Heh." Akutagawa sneered, "If you want to vent your anger on this traitor, then you should find the person who brought him back."

"Not you?"

"No." Akutagawa said, "It's Kyoka."

Akutagawa said word by word: "The student you personally taught, Kyoka, is so talented. She handcuffed your Mr. Dazai here."

I have a meal.

Akutagawa: "As a cadre of Mafia, it's fine to live with the traitor, and to walk with the goals of the organization openly. Takeshita, are you too naive? How dare you want to stay out of it?"

His words suddenly overlapped with what Mori Ogai said that night.

"A person who is under others is not qualified to maintain a neutral position. If he insists on doing that, then there is only one end for him, and he will be torn to pieces."

……

"Or, are you planning to defect to the organization?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's tone suddenly became fierce, "Then let me clean up your life now."

"Is this your attitude towards current cadres?"

I elbowed Akutagawa against the wall and held the dagger against his throat, while Rashomon pressed against my aorta.

My whole body tensed up, maintaining such an extremely dangerous posture, I laughed back from my anger, and said firmly: "Don't insult people, Akutagawa. I will never betray Mafia."

Akutagawa's gray eyes stared at me like vicious dogs.

I said, "As long as you don't do anything to Mr. Dazai."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Akutagawa's sarcasm was beyond words.

He said, "Joke."

……

Gan!I'm talking to this mad dog!

Akutagawa and I fought in a mess, and in the end Akutagawa took the lead to take a step back, and cursed disdainfully: "A love brain who wants to die or live."

Me: "Brainless saboteur!"

Akutagawa said angrily: "People who beg others to kill him are not in the right mind."

Me: "In so many years, you only beat me once. I know that people are always obsessed with what they lack."

Akutagawa's face turned blue: "..."

"I won't fail this time."

Before leaving the torture room, Akutagawa said coldly: "Wait for the news that the Armed Detective Agency has been eliminated. Phantom, if you dare to let this person go, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the organization."

Me: "I don't need to remind you. Get out of here."

Finally, Akutagawa left angrily.

After Akutagawa's figure disappeared, the dagger was sheathed, and I walked up to the imprisoned Dazai.

A handsome young man with disheveled brown hair was leaning against the blood-stained interrogation wall, with a relaxed expression and a calm posture, as if he was just taking a nap here.

If you ignore the glaring bloodstains on his hands that were forced to part and his lips.

My anger towards Akutagawa hasn't dissipated yet, seeing Dazai like this is really angry and heartbroken.

Dazai had no other injuries, which made me calm down.

Dazai greeted me with a smile as usual.

"Qiu, good morning! What did you have this morning?"

I'm almost speechless.

"I haven't eaten yet. I rushed over when I heard that you were arrested."

Unexpectedly, one day Dazai and I would meet in the dark and bloody underground torture room of Hong Kong Hei. Thousands of words came to my heart and choked in my throat, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

I said softly, "Sorry, Mr. Dazai, I can't untie it for you."

Nails almost dug into palms.

"It's okay." Dazai said, "You don't need to apologize."

Dazai couldn't move his hands, so I carefully wiped off the blood and dust on Dazai's face with my hands.

The skin on the fingertips was smooth and delicate, I couldn't bear to use force, and I kept my movements to the minimum, but when my fingers brushed the wound, I still heard Dazai's "hiss".

Fuck Akutagawa, he should have beaten him to death just now.

I couldn't help frowning, and complained inexplicably, "What are you doing to provoke him?"

It's one thing for Akutagawa to make a move, but it's another for Dazai to deliberately provoke him.Now it's not the same as before, he is a prisoner, isn't deliberately provocative just looking for a fight?

"I'm used to it~" Dazai smiled capriciously, and said nonchalantly, "Besides, isn't there Qiu? The cadre will beat me back."

Me: "... oh."

There's really no way to get him.

I remembered what Dazai said to Akutagawa just now, and I felt even more helpless: "Are you just praising the man and tiger boy or are you trying to bring hatred to him?"

Say something like "my new subordinate is much better than you", it is conceivable that Akutagawa will not let Atsushi Nakajima go.

Dazai: "Of course it's a compliment. Diamonds need to be tempered to shine."

Atsushi Nakajima's stupid appearance came to my mind. His low self-esteem character really doesn't match his powerful superpower Baihu.

So, what Dazai said about training, could it be that Akutagawa was thrown over there for him to practice?

People like Akutagawa will definitely not keep their hands like me back then. Isn't he afraid that Atsushi Nakajima will lose his practice after practicing?

I am very puzzled.

But knowing that it was Dazai's intention, I was relieved.

Dunjun, please ask for blessings.

Even if Dazai and I are talking normally, the current environment is very unusual.

"Are you so uncomfortable?" I asked distressedly.

From before Dazai's defection to after his defection, I never thought that one day he would be locked in the torture room of Hong Kong gangsters.

"Shoulders are a little sore, as are legs."

When Dazai moved his hand, the handcuffs and chains rattled.

"I ate less breakfast and I was a little hungry. It would be perfect if I had fruit."

I almost laughed at him.

I leaned closer to Dazai and asked him softly: "In your plan, you will escape safely in the end, right?"

Quan Jinghua is indeed talented.But how could she catch Dazai?

Deliberately being caught by Kyoka and entering Gang Hei is naturally Dazai's plan, so Akutagawa can't see it.

"uh-huh."

"If I could, I'd rather be locked here than you."

I say.

Dazai fell silent.

He asked me seriously, "Really?"

I really."

Dazai said, "Chu, come here."

I approached as told, nose to nose with Dazai.From a distance, people might think we are kissing.

Dazai lowered his long eyelashes, and his voice was almost breathless: "Qiu, there is something I must tell you."

"what?"

"Mr. Sen will order you to kill me soon."

The young man looked serious, so predicted.

...

……

.........

It took me a while to get my breath back.

"Are you kidding me? The threatening letter you sent to the boss must have included conditions to ensure the safety of your life."

I recovered from my suffocation, and suddenly realized that this frightening prophecy was Dazai trying to scare me——

It's just a threatening letter,

It's just that Dazai wants to infiltrate Hong Kong gangsters to search for the information of the reward client.

Mori Ogai would not give such an order.

"Tsk... I didn't see Qiu's gaffe. A failure, a big failure of the plan. How can you be so calm, Qiu!"

Dazai's serious expression collapsed in an instant, and he even stuck out his tongue, "As expected of Mr. Qiu, the cadre who is extremely witty, you even guessed the content of the threatening letter."

So is it really a joke?

I'm almost on my forehead.

"But having said that, this is such a good opportunity! Qiu killed me with his own hands because he couldn't disobey Mr. Mori's order, and then committed suicide for me. It's neat and perfect. Ah, it's so perfect that I can't find it Any loopholes in the logic of sacrifice! Great~very~~~”

This out-of-the-ordinary idea is Dazai's usual style.

I let go of the clenched fist that I had been trying to keep calm just now behind my back.

"Ugh."

I sigh deeply.

Such a joke is really suffocating.

Even for us, words like suicide, death, and martyrdom are as common as eating and drinking.

After the great shock, I looked back at the source of Dazai's thought of dying for love—"Mr. Mori will order you to kill me soon."

However, Mori Ogai has no reason to do so.

If it is for the purpose of "making Osamu Dazai disappear", it is impossible to entrust such a task to me. The majestic Hong Kong black leader is not out of his mind, is he?

Therefore, the initial condition of this hypothesis has no reason to exist in the first place.

"You scare me."

I sued him a little bit aggrieved.

I am startled at every turn, no matter how strong my heart is, it is not used to play like this.

……

Dazai: "Sorry sorry..."

"But, Qiu."

"I'm not kidding."

"This is a hypothesis with a 90.00% nine point nine chance of becoming a reality."

As soon as Dazai finished speaking, the air froze, and the surroundings were unbearably quiet.

My mind went blank again for a moment.

Then, I heard my own uncontrolled and chaotic heartbeat.

[Hong Kong black underground torture room]

In a dark, dead silence, and a confined space filled with the smell of blood.

There are two people who are very close to each other and stand opposite each other.

A handsome prisoner bound by iron handcuffs, and a young cadre who holds a lot of power.

The captive looked leisurely and asked with a smile on his face.

"What would you do if Mr. Mori asked you to kill me, Mr. Qiu?"

In the past two years, they have faced each other countless times day and night, and they have talked about death countless times, but none of them have been as dignified as they are now.

Whether it was a joke or not, they all knew in their hearts.

Faced with Dazai's question again, Takeshita Akira, who had been trying to be calm before, really calmed down.

For him, there was never a second answer to such a question.

So he quickly settled down.

He looked at the brown-haired young man tenderly, and said in the same serious tone as before: "I will never hurt you."

Aki Takeshita said lightly, but he gave a promise and vow that weighed more than most love words in the world.

Osamu Dazai was very clear about his determination.

"how about you?"

Takeshita Akira's clear gaze and his tall and firm figure reflected in Dazai's kite eyes.

He watched the child grow up.

From silent stray puppies lacking speech and walking;

To the unyielding young ghost killer;

To the high-spirited, proud and introverted five major cadres;

then to...

The assassin who was about to refuse the order to kill for him.

The assassin is disqualified.

No leader can tolerate such a disobedient and extremely sharp knife.

The abyss under Aki Takeshita's feet did not appear after the arrival of "Human Tiger", nor did it even appear two years ago when he met Osamu Dazai again in the bustling street.

From the moment Dazai Osamu turned around and walked towards the rescuer, the ghost assassin who was deeply attached to him stepped on the boundary line between light and darkness without hesitation.

Walking the tightrope on the cliff of ten thousand zhang, with a careless move, he fell into the abyss and was smashed to pieces.

This is the result of countless choices in his growing life.

Born in nothingness, through the ups and downs of the world, there is no way out, no way back.

……

"how about you?"

Dazai asked again.

His tone was not aggressive, but his gesture was close to questioning the young man.

The phantom assassin silenced him with a kiss.

Aki Takeshita said.

With you here, what am I afraid of?

This body is fortunate to come here for you, and I will never hesitate to die for you.

Osamu Dazai never said if.

Later, the ghost assassin who was given the order to "kill Dazai Osamu" really did what he said, and he would die for one person.Tortured, willingly.

The man who sees through the future has hinted countless times in the past two years that it worked, and he prepared in advance to guide everything in the direction that is most beneficial to the overall situation.

only...

The purest heart that Osamu Dazai failed to live up to when he was young has been fermented with great affection and righteousness in the past six years, and finally let him taste the fruit of too much bitterness.

That was the last time he saw Takeshita Aki sober.

He is still lost.

Only his.
