The False Protagonist and the True Demon King[Comprehensive]

"Don't go to Europe."

Osamu Dazai's voice is quite flat, but his quite recognizable voice is particularly obvious even when the volume is lowered.

When receiving this call, Shen Xi happened to be sitting in a hall, the glass wall could clearly see the heavy rain outside, the place was empty and cold, and he was the only one sitting on the bench inside.

The broken umbrella was thrown to the side of the bench, and the water on it trickled down and formed a small puddle. Shen Xi looked at his right hand while listening to the voice on the phone.

That hand looked pale and thin because of the coldness, without a trace of blood, like a crystal clear ice cube.

"You got him done?"

Even when speaking in a low voice, the empty space still refracts his voice, causing empty echoes.

"No, he's in Europe, I'm in Neon, I can only guarantee that he won't be able to make a big deal in the near future." Osamu Dazai leaned against the door and watched the rain outside, "But as long as this matter passes, then we will always have time Clean him up."

"us?"

"to us……"

Shen Xi lay back on the bench, this is a small lounge in the park, because it is quite unpopular in this cold weather because of the wind from all sides, and it was empty for a few days even after it rained.

"Dazai."

"Well, I'm listening."

Shen Xi paused for a few seconds before speaking again.

"At the beginning, I kept thinking, do I want to do this or not." The cold wind howled, completely blowing away the heat from his body, "But Dazai, you can't go back now, and you won't meet me in the future."

Osamu Dazai frowned, "What did you say?"

"History changes, you can't meet me anymore."

"No, Shen Xi? Why? Aren't you here? Do you want to leave?" Osamu Dazai always considered the problem based on the premise left by Shen Xi. He regarded Shen Xi as an independent, The one who won't leave.

It wasn't until this moment that Osamu Dazai discovered Shen Xi's influence on him. He had already accepted Shen Xi in his heart and was ready to be together forever, but Shen Xi's words gave him a blow in the head.

What's the meaning?Will you leave?where to go

"Will you forget me?"

Osamu Dazai frowned, "Where are you? Stay where you are, I'll go find you, and we'll explain these things face to face."

Shen Xi slowly sat up from the bench, "Need to speak face to face?"

"Otherwise?" Osamu Dazai even felt a little embarrassed, "How can someone get along with another person like this? Can you still blame me for being crooked when you are already like this?"

Shen Xi blinked, "You want to be wrong... what?"

"Don't use such a speculative tone, don't you know me very well?" Osamu Dazai squatted at the door a little self-destructive, "Shen Xi, you are so strange and very hateful, is it true that I will be raped by you four years later?" Play like this."

Putting her finger on her chin, Shen Xi seemed to be lost in thought, "Well, the main reason is that sometimes Dazai is really annoying to the people who watch it. It would be very interesting if Dazai is left to suffer."

"So you bully me like this?"

But if you don't cooperate, who will bully you.

Shen Xi, who understood the personality of the person opposite him quite well, didn't say this sentence out of his mouth, in order to prevent the other person from becoming angry and confronting him.

"Well, but if you're talking about a certain aspect, it doesn't matter if you want to be a little crooked." A smile flashed in Shen Xi's dark eyes, and at this moment, his cold image seemed to be tainted with temperature.

The ice and snow melted, and the flowers bloomed in spring.

"After all, didn't Dazai always want to have that kind of relationship with me?"

Osamu Dazai paused, he was silent for a long time without speaking, every time he opened his mouth he didn't know what to say.

This is the first time it has learned about their future relationship from Shen Xi. Originally, Osamu Dazai thought it wrong because he thought it wrong, but now he feels that he thinks too little.

This person doesn't look like a person suitable for love, so why did he get involved with him.

"Anyway, you wait for me, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xi put the phone on the bench, the rain outside was pattering, but Shen Xi didn't ignore the inconspicuous footsteps mixed with the rain.

The outsider seemed to be very cautious. He walked to a place not too close to Shen Xi and stopped moving forward, but kept waiting for Shen Xi to speak. His patience was good and he was quiet enough.

"I thought you were gone."

Shen Xi said: "As a missing person, it's not good for you to appear in front of me like this, very disrespectful."

"No, it's not a question of professionalism." Ango Sakaguchi stood not far from him, the black umbrella in his hand was dripping wet, "I just came to make sure that there is no need for hostility between us."

Ango Sakaguchi pushed his glasses, and the lenses refracted a light, like those men with black belly and glasses in anime.

Shen Xi didn't seem to be interested in what he said, he had no special feeling or bad feeling towards this person, after all, he was just a friend of Osamu Dazai.

"You don't need to be hostile, who do you represent?"

Ango Sakaguchi froze for a moment.

"Are you representing the port mafia as a lobbyist, or are you trying to eliminate dissidents on behalf of the Supernatural Secret Service?"

The other party was silent for almost ten seconds. He didn't take off his glasses until the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. "I believe now that you came from the future. You know that I am from the Supernatural Secret Service..."

"Undercover." Shen Xi finally turned his face to him, and there was a coldness in those dark eyes, "Do you want to tell me that you can't help yourself?"

Even in the non-fluctuating tone, Ango Sakaguchi still felt the irony. This person seemed to be quite good at inserting a knife in a place that a person cared about most, stabbing a fragile heart to bloody flesh before giving up.

It's like another version of Osamu Dazai...

"We actually don't need to make the atmosphere so stiff, at least, we have a mutual friend."

"Are you talking about Osamu Dazai?" Shen Xi exhaled, watching the white mist caused by the cold dissolving in the air little by little, he was like a playful child, dismissing everything from adults.

Ango Sakaguchi didn't know how to speak. Of course he was talking about Dazai Osamu, but the moment Shen Xi asked back, it seemed that he was completely unreasonable. What kind of magical power does this person have?

"Speaking of which, Dazai said that he will come over soon." Shen Xi looked at him, "Do you want to wait for Dazai to come over and have a face-to-face talk with him?"

"No." Ango Sakaguchi looked around, "Sir, we have no malicious intentions in the Supernatural Secret Service Division. I hope you can think about it carefully. If you want to find someone of a higher level, I can also contact you."

After speaking, Ango Sakaguchi turned around quickly and left, as if he didn't want to meet Osamu Dazai at all.

Human beings are like this, avoiding people who may feel guilty, but perhaps, this kind of guilt is limited to people who still have a conscience.

"Shen Xi?"

After a while, a familiar voice sounded at the door, Shen Xi raised his head, and Osamu Dazai stood at the door holding an umbrella and looked at the ground, where there was a pool of water stains.

"Shen Xi, who has been here?"

"No." Shen Xi looked at him, "No one came over."

Osamu Dazai didn't believe it. These water stains showed that someone had been standing here for a long time, and the time gap between the time before he came and left was not more than 5 minutes, but there was no one passing by when he came here.

But since Shen Xi said there was no one... then let's pretend there was no one.

Osamu Dazai threw the umbrella to the ground. The rain outside was so heavy that it couldn't stop him on the way here. The umbrella could only cover his face, and everything from the neck down was drenched.

He came over and sat next to Shen Xi, looking at his clothes, he couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart.

"Shen Xi, why are your clothes dry? It shouldn't be, your umbrella is still like this in such a heavy rain."

Shen Xi tilted his head, "Don't worry about these strange questions, Dazai, did you come here in the heavy rain to ask this?"

"Okay." Osamu Dazai stared at the front, "I was going to come over to ask you some questions, but I didn't think it was necessary on the way, because what Shen Xi said was quite free, doing things according to my own mind. people."

Shen Xi looked at him, "So?"

"I probably won't be able to keep you." Osamu Dazai smiled wryly, "That's it, I knew from the beginning that what I don't want to lose is destined to disappear, even if I try hard to keep you, there will be no good results .”

"I can't find redemption, so this kind of life is not worth living at all."

Shen Xi looked at him silently, the 18-year-old Osamu Dazai was still immature in some aspects, but such immaturity and sharpness could best show his hidden deep side that was completely opposite to Shen Xi.

Osamu Dazai's world is pessimistic. He wants to find a reason to live and support himself to live, but he tells himself over and over in his heart that this is impossible.

The death of Oda Sakunosuke deeply pierced a thorn in his lonely and timid heart. Even though his life has undergone tremendous changes, it also made him feel absurdly distrustful of life.

This is why Shen Xi wanted to save Odasaku. If he wanted to pull out this thorn, he had to find the source and change it.

Shen Xi leaned in front of Osamu Dazai, and pressed his forehead against Osamu Dazai's, as if two shivering people were warming up in the cold winter. He could feel Osamu Dazai's body temperature and his restless heartbeat. .

Taking off the ring that had been hidden under the clothes, Shen Xi hung it around Dazai Osamu's neck.

"It's okay." Shen Xi whispered to him, "I'm here."

Osamu Dazai looked at the ring, "Isn't this yours?"

"It's yours now." Shen Xi looked at him, and Osamu Dazai could feel his breath on his face from too close a distance, "I'll wait for you to give me the ring with your name engraved on it." That day."

The sound of rain stopped, Osamu Dazai looked out from the gap.

The cloudy and rainy days that lasted for nearly a month finally stopped, and a ray of sunshine persistently emerged from under the dark clouds. Although it was faint, it illuminated the whole world.

Has the rain stopped?

Ignoring the broken umbrella, Shen Xi took Osamu Dazai by the hand and pulled him up from the bench.

"Let's go."

Osamu Dazai felt like a poor man bewitched by magic, so he didn't refuse at all. Following his movements, he walked into the sun. He lived for 18 years and never thought that one day he would have such an impact on a man. strong feelings.

Go deep into the bone marrow and enjoy it as much as you like.

……

"According to the current information, Ango is very likely to be Mimic's undercover agent. The news of Oda Sakuza shows this, but I always feel that something is wrong, because... If this is the case, the boss should not be unaware."

Osamu Dazai talked to Shen Xi while walking, but most of the words were from him, and Shen Xi rarely responded.

"I kind of think Ango is the boss who arranged to go undercover for Mimic."

Shen Xi walked on the road with his hands behind his back. Although the rain had stopped, there was water everywhere on the road, one small puddle after another. He stepped over the puddles and neither refuted nor acknowledged Dazai Osamu's words.

"Maybe it's really an undercover agent." Shen Xi responded somewhat perfunctorily, "But for Dazai, he should know what his friend is like."

"That's what I think is wrong."

Osamu Dazai walked with his back to Shen Xi, and accidentally stepped on the water, "Wow, bad, but forget it, I can't wear clothes anyway."

Of course Shen Xi knew what he meant by something wrong, but this kind of thing was not something Shen Xi should be involved in.

It was as if the once-in-a-hundred-year heavy rain had finally come to an end, and it had never rained again since that day. The weather was so good that Shen Xi could often see adults taking their children out to play, and everything returned to normal .

Even the mysteriously missing Mimic leader never reappeared.

This quiet and peaceful day lasted for a week, everyone let go of their vigilance, and Ango Sakaguchi did not show up again. It seemed that everything had subsided.

"So, why do we go out?" Osamu Dazai huddled among the crowd, "Today happens to be the weekend, and there are many people in the mall."

Shen Xi walked in front, "Buy something."

"what?"

"Time Capsule." Shen Xi was looking for an exquisite small commodity store, "it's a legendary box that can preserve precious things."

Osamu Dazai was a little surprised, "What can be put in it?"

"Photos." Shen Xi thought for a while, "Yes, what you posted is a photo, a photo of a friend you have always cherished."

Osamu Dazai looked at Shen Xi helplessly, "I don't have a photo, my status is special, so it's not suitable for me to keep a photo."

"Then let's shoot now."

Successfully bought a small box in a store, Shen Xi threw the box to Dazai Osamu, and then walked to the place of Oda writer.

"Hey, don't be so sudden." Dazai Osamu followed up with the box in his arms, "Oda Tsukuru will be surprised by you like this, and suddenly went to tell him to take a photo to keep a souvenir or something."

"Will it?" Shen Xi didn't seem to care, it was more like a statement than a question, "It's okay, he won't mind."

Osamu Dazai sighed, "Okay, you have the final say, but the surprise is a complete set, wait for me to make a disguise."

So Osamu Dazai, who was still complaining, began to pretend to be another person quite happily, and already thought of Odasaku's appearance of being shocked. This terrible bad friend didn't think it might be a shock at all.

At this time, Osamu Dazai didn't think about how lucky he would be in the future when Shen Xi took him to find Odasaku.

The fine weather, which lasted for a week, suddenly turned gloomy again this afternoon. The drizzle was not heavy, not even enough to wet their clothes, but seeing the rain Dazai felt physically sick.

Nothing good will happen as long as it rains.

This conclusion came true.

"What's that?" Osamu Dazai stood not far away and looked at the bus at the intersection. This bus looked tattered, like an abandoned car without a license plate number.

Shen Xi walked over, as if he had no interest in this car.

Going around a little bit, Osamu Dazai suddenly opened his eyes wide, what did he see?

In the gap of the window, Osamu Dazai saw a child, an orphan adopted by Odasaku. He knocked on the window with a bruised nose, as if calling someone's name.

A man jumped down from the second floor. He ran forward frantically, with his right hand stretched out, as if he was trying to catch the child back.

"Odasaku!"

Shen Xi stood at the same spot, he stood with Osamu Dazai, naturally he could also see the children in the bus, including the little girl who gave him a star.

The little girl's eyes were red from crying, full of fear.

Andre Gide stood at the car window, staring at everything outside, his eyes were empty, his madness swallowed him whole, so much so that he didn't hesitate to kill five defenseless children.

There was a bomb inside, Dazai quickly came to that conclusion.

Why did Sakunosuke Oda die?Shen Xi remembered the conclusion he had drawn.

His adopted child was killed, destroying his faith, so he died with the enemy with a mortal determination.

So, so...

There was a golden light condensing under his feet, Shen Xi rushed out directly, and when Osamu Dazai realized it, he found that Shen Xi was no longer there.

"Who?!"

Shen Xi opened his hands, and the golden light quickly hit the window glass with spikes, no matter how thick or hard the glass was, it could not resist Shen Xi's strike.

Andre Gide raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that was almost crying.

"too late."

The moment he pressed the button in his hand, the whole car was instantly engulfed in flames, and the sound of the explosion directly pushed Dazai Osamu and Oda Saku out, the fire rose, and the remaining explosions followed one after another.

Osamu Dazai froze in place, he couldn't even stand up.

"Shen Xi?"

The light rain turned into heavy rain, the flames were quickly extinguished by the rain, the smoke and flames disappeared, and finally the innermost thing was exposed.

The golden light formed a circle, like a huge cocoon, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda looked at each other, they stood up from the ground, and walked over carefully, but Osamu Dazai dared not touch it, he was afraid that if he touched it, it would cause serious consequences.

But fortunately, after a few seconds, the light cocoon unfolded little by little, as if a flower was blooming.

Shen Xi knelt and sat in the middle, several children were held in his arms, Dazai Osamu and Oda Saku rushed over.

"Cough cough."

Shen Xi opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, which was quickly smeared in the rain.

Several children were still alive, but they all fainted from fright, and their breathing was a little weak. Oda Sakunosuke hugged the children, with a dazed face that had not yet reacted.

"Take them to the hospital." Dazai Osamu was relatively calm, and his voice pulled Oda Sakunosuke back.

Once he reacted, Oda Sakunosuke nodded quickly, "I don't know what to do anymore, thank you, Dazai and Mr. Shen, I will come back when I take care of the children."

Osamu Dazai nodded, and he leaned Shen Xi into his arms.

Compared with this group of children, Shen Xi has withstood almost all the power of the explosion. There is a limit to supernatural powers. Even though Shen Xi is very strong, he will still be injured at this time. The impact is not something ordinary people can bear.

"How are you?"

Shen Xi looked up at the sky, "It's raining again. Sure enough, Dazai is the god of rain, and it will rain wherever he goes."

Osamu Dazai was almost laughed angrily by him, "Obviously it's you, it's raining everywhere you go, and you don't look at what's going on, so if you rush up like this, you'll scare me to death."

"That's because I won't die." Shen Xi whispered, "But now, Osamu Dazai, our history is staggered."

"Don't think about these things, are you really okay?"

"It's okay." Shen Xi stood up from the ground, "An explosion of this magnitude is not enough to kill me. Although it is a bit regrettable, it is true."

Shen Xi turned to look at Osamu Dazai with a self-deprecating smile in his eyes.

"Death is such a luxury."

Osamu Dazai looked at him, "You're right."

But even so, I don't want to see... such a picture again.

……

In order to find the truth, Osamu Dazai went to all the places before, like a memory, carefully searched all the places he frequented four years ago, although he did not find any clues about Shen Xi, but let him know about Shen Xi The past deepens the impression.

The hound troops came to make trouble a few times, but after being suffocated a few times by his design, they simply released him, as if they would clean him up later.

"So, where should we go now?"

The key point of Oda Sakunosuke's death is that he had no reason to live. He swore not to kill anyone in order to write a novel, but his adopted child was killed by the enemy. For the sake of his child, he gave up the novel and his belief in living.

And use this to die with the enemy.

If Oda is still alive, does it mean that the children are still alive.

When Mimic trapped the children in the bus while Oda was away, and detonated the bomb when Oda came, Oda collapsed completely when he saw this scene.

Osamu Dazai stood at the door. The old curry shop has disappeared, and the boss has changed. The new boss doesn't know that someone died here, and it seems to be running well.

"Sorry." Osamu Dazai walked into the shop, "Well, may I ask, is there a change here? I seem to remember that this is a curry shop."

The new boss looked at Osamu Dazai strangely, "Young man, are you looking for a curry shop?"

"It's like this. I came here on a business trip four years ago. I remember there was a very special curry shop here. I came here again recently and wanted to try again. But, huh? Did I remember the wrong way?"

The new boss quickly shook his head, "No, it was indeed a curry shop before I took over, but due to some special reasons, the boss couldn't continue to operate, so he rented it out to me, but it seems that there is something left for you."

"Huh? Is it?"

The new boss nodded, "That's right. He said that when someone comes over, I'll know if it's you. Sure enough, I can feel special as soon as you come in."

He took out a box from the counter, "Here you are."

Osamu Dazai looked at the box with a gentle smile in his iris eyes.

"Thank you."

A stranger who can keep things for four years because of an entrustment, thank you.

"You're welcome. I opened this store because that person helped me a lot. Since he asked me, of course I will complete it." The new boss smiled innocently, "It's just helping and waiting for one person."
