The False Protagonist and the True Demon King[Comprehensive]

It has been raining for several days, the autumn wind is bleak, and even the sun is unwilling to take a look. Shen Xi sits by the window and watches the people coming and going outside the window. All kinds of black, white and white umbrellas form a strange pattern. world.

"Master, it's time to go down."

Shen Xi didn't respond, he was still sitting quietly in his seat, there was no emotion in his dark eyes.

Everyone said that the adopted son of the Akashi family was really a cold-hearted person, and he didn't even feel sad when he died like a mother, just like a stranger, he really adopted a white-eyed wolf.

"Master?"

"I'm going down right away."

After closing the window, Shen Xi stood up. He rarely put on a black suit. In the reflection of the window, he saw himself. Without the white body, it was as if a layer of gentleness was missing from his body. Alienation and indifference are exuded without any scruples.

This is him, this is what he looks like, the self who was not corrected by my aunt.

At the memorial service in the rain, Mr. Akashi whispered something, with tears in the corners of his eyes, Seijuro lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. It was at this time that Shen Xi walked out of the room and was exposed in front of everyone.

"This is that child? It's really strange..."

"As the rumors say, he is really an indifferent person. Why would the Akashi family adopt such a child."

"It is said that it is the child of Mrs. Akashi's sister's family. They are the only relatives of this child."

People around whispered to their friends, as if they felt that their voices would not be heard.

"Shut up!" The one who stopped all the voices was an old man who just arrived. He was wearing an elegant black suit and held a delicate cane in his hand. He was an old man who looked very dignified.

"You can't let your nonsense talk about my family, whether it's my daughter or my grandson."

Shen Xi turned his head and looked forward, it was a strange old man, but the sadness in the old man's eyes told Shen Xi that this was not a stranger.

Grandson, so is this grandfather?

The old man came over, he hugged Shen Xi cautiously, with tears in his eyes, "Sorry kid, it's not your fault."

Of course it wasn't my fault.

Shen Xi thought to himself, he didn't live to let others point fingers, nor did he want his aunt to be blamed. He wasn't sure if those guys kept talking, he wouldn't let them stop talking.

There is no one who can suppress him, is there?

The old man let go of him, and he held Shen Xi's hand tightly, "Go, your friend is waiting for you."

Shen Xi looked in the direction he was pointing at, and Osamu Dazai was standing on the edge in a black windbreaker, watching him all the time, seeing him looking at him, he just raised his hand, his kite-colored eyes were full of comfort.

The memorial service passed quickly, because in the pain of an old man with white hair giving away a man with black hair, no media dared to ask some sharp questions, and no one dared to ask about Shen Xi's situation.

"Brother... will you come back?"

The red-haired boy stood at the door and looked at Shen Xi, with grief in his eyes, "Mom is gone, will you come back?"

In fact, their whole family knows that Shen Xi has been able to stay here all this time because of Mrs. Akashi. From the age of 15 to now, they can also see his transformation.

Seijuro was still very young when Shen Xi came. Children are sometimes more sensitive than adults. He can clearly feel Shen Xi's attitude towards their family, the truth that is free from pretense.

His heart is so hollow that it can't hold anyone, no matter who it is, there is no way for him to stay for it.

Shen Xi stood in front of Mrs. Akashi's portrait and was silent for a moment, "I will come back because my aunt is here."

"Yeah." Seijuro forced himself to draw a smile that was uglier than crying, "Let's go with your friend, Dad has agreed, I hope you can go out to relax, your friend said he can take care of you."

His mother was gone, neither he nor his father dared to say that they could look up to him. Everyone saw what he was like back then.

Shen Xi nodded, "I see."

Put the blooming lily in my hand in front of my aunt's tomb, and watched the lily get wet instantly by the rain.

Send this lily to the best person in my life, may you have found happiness in another world.

Osamu Dazai had never seen Shen Xi in a black suit, except for the short 5 minutes in that world, the kind of loneliness that others could not understand and could not walk in lingered around him, making one couldn't help but shy away.

"Take me away." Shen Xi looked at him and said.

Nodding, Osamu Dazai took his hand and left the cemetery, walking in the rain on dead leaves along the way.

"This rain is really endless." Osamu Dazai raised his head and sighed.

Shen Xi stretched out his hand, and saw that a ball of water formed in his hand after a while, "Yes, it started to fall when we came back, and it has been falling until now."

Osamu Dazai turned his head to look at him, and asked after a while, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I told you before." There was no emotion in Shen Xi's dark eyes, he looked at the small water ball in his palm, and his voice did not fluctuate, "I'm not sad, I just died, death is not terrible .”

The terrible thing is never to see each other again.

"Well, whatever you say is what you say." Osamu Dazai continued to drag him towards the station.

"I'll take you back to the detective agency first. I don't have anywhere to go, so I can take you on field trips. Of course... Kunikida's objection is useless."

Shen Xi blinked, "You have the final say."

Walking all the way to the station, it will take another hour to wait for the next bus to arrive. The two put away their umbrellas and sat in the waiting position to rest.

"Dazai looks strange in black." Shen Xi looked at the black coat on him.

Osamu Dazai clicked his tongue, "Compared to me, you are weirder, okay, you suddenly changed into a black suit and became bitter and hateful, super scary."

"Do you have any?" Shen Xi looked at the clothes on her body, "This is just what you need to wear at the funeral. It was prepared at home. I won't wear it like this in the future, but Dazai, how can I put it, it has really changed a lot."

Changing out of the warm-colored windbreaker, the oppressive black made Shen Xi always feel that Osamu Dazai seemed to be a different person.

"Yes." Osamu Dazai leaned into his ear helplessly, "I used to wear this way when I was in Ganghei, but the difference is not so big."

"Hmm." Shen Xi nodded, "I suddenly want to know what Dazai was like when he was in Gang Hei."

Osamu Dazai sighed, "It's better that you don't know, because I will never be friends with you at that time."

He would even act as a ruthless pusher on Shen Xi's suicide path.

"But it's very interesting." Shen Xi and Osamu Dazai leaned together, "The me at that time and you at that time were neither what you are now, what would be the consequences if we met earlier?"

Osamu Dazai thought for a while, "I don't know, but if it was at that time, I should think you are very interesting, or I will test you because of your purpose, interrupt your plan for fun or something .”

"Wow, what a disgusting look."

Of course, it's just for fun, and it won't transform into what it is now.

Because he can't save people at all.

It was already very late when they arrived in Yokohama, because it was evening when they left, and the heavy rain affected the driving of the vehicles, causing them to arrive at their destination much later than originally planned.

"Ah, finally got off the bus, I'm so hungry, I'm going to eat curry rice!"

Shen Xi looked at him, "If you're so hungry, why didn't you have a bowl of instant noodles when the flight attendant came?"

"No!" Osamu Dazai retorted instantly, "It is sacrilege to fill your stomach with a bowl of instant noodles when you are hungry! The hungrier you are, the more you should eat some delicious food!"

"Is there any restaurant that serves dinner after this order?"

Osamu Dazai was wronged instantly, "I don't know either..."

Shen Xi sighed, "Go to a 24-hour convenience store and buy some food, I'm hungry too."

After walking hard in the rain for a long time, they finally came across a hamburger restaurant, regardless of whether the food inside was suitable for dinner, the two hurried in, shaking the water on their bodies, warmed by the temperature inside the restaurant.

"Wow, it's so warm." Osamu Dazai inserted the umbrella into the umbrella frame, and ran to the counter to order while wet.

"Beautiful lady, would you please give me two cups of hot coffee?"

The salesperson blushed instantly, "Ah, good, good! Does the customer want anything else?"

"That, and..."

Shen Xi found an empty seat and sat there, surrounded by some young people, most of them were in a hurry to take notes, and some students were doing their homework, they were all hardworking people.

Well, why does that person on the edge look a little familiar?

The aroma of coffee poured into his nostrils, Dazai Osamu came over with two steaming cups of coffee, and put one of them in front of him.

"What are you looking at?"

"No." Shen Xi looked to the side, "Dazai, is that Mr. Chuya Nakahara?"

"Huh?" Osamu Dazai stood up abruptly, "That damned slug is here?!"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded directly, "This is what I want to say, okay!"

Nakahara stood up, and he stared at Osamu Dazai with a rather dangerous look, "Why are you damn mackerel here, you are such a lingering guy."

"Hey, what is lingering spirits! Chuya, are you wishing me to die quickly? Thank you so much."

Shen Xi took a sip of coffee and stared at the two people watching the play.

Nakahara also walked over directly, he slapped the table and stared at Osamu Dazai, "Why are you still alive! Didn't you disappear? I drank a bottle of good wine to celebrate, why are you back again!"

"Of course it's for Chuya. It's super interesting to see how energetic Zhongya is."

"Hey...damn bastard!" Nakahara Nakaya roared, "Also, return my card! You have to use my card even to buy things at the convenience store, won't the detective agency pay you?! "

Shen Xi took the hamburger from the salesperson, then comforted her in a low voice, and continued watching the show.

"And you!" It's a pity that Zhongyuan Zhong didn't let him go, "Why are you here, or with Dazai, the mackerel!"

Shen Xi blinked, "If you don't want Dazai to spend your money, just change the bank card password."

"Huh? Do you think I haven't done this before?" Nakahara Nakaya pointed at Osamu Dazai and roared, "No matter how many passwords I change, this guy can always guess it. Don't tell me you are using your brain to guess the bank card password. Are you on?!"

"This is because Chuya is so easy to understand. I don't need to think about it to know what password you used."

"Don't think I can't hear you scolding me!"

"Huh? Chuya actually understood. Wow, Chuya has grown up! Isn't he a slimy slug anymore?"

"Bastard Dazai!"

Alas, poor Mr. Nakahara Chuya.

Just as Shen Xi thought, they didn't fight except bickering, and they each held a cup of coffee and drank it, with disgust in their eyes, as if it was too much to look at.

"It's fair to say, what happened to the port mafia recently, they can actually see you appearing in such a place in the middle of the night."

"How can I tell you, you traitor, and I can go anywhere after get off work!"

Shen Xi started playing mobile games with french fries in her mouth.

"But speaking of it, it's really surprising, Dazai, you actually put on black clothes, what's wrong? Do you want to come back? Boss has always left you the position of cadre, are you tempted?"

Dazai Osamu was eating the chicken cutlet rice in the store, "Did Chuya miss me? But I'm sorry, I won't go back."

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted, "It's really a guy who makes people angry."

Suddenly, a sharp sound pierced the air. Shen Xi looked at the screen of his mobile phone. The game he had been controlling just now suddenly lost control. The mobile phone made a rattling sound, and finally the screen went black, followed by a strange mouse head.

Shen Xi blinked and started to restart the phone, but it didn't work.

Osamu Dazai pulled out the phone from his hand, and then pressed the buttons a few times, the mouse let out a piercing laugh, which made Nakahara couldn't help frowning.

"What the hell is this? A virus?"

Osamu Dazai fiddled with the phone, "Chuya, it's up to you from now on."

"Huh? What?" Nakahara didn't know what Osamu Dazai said, but he instantly sensed something was wrong, "Dazai, are you planning something again?"

"How could it be?" Osamu Dazai smiled at him, then threw Shen Xi's cell phone back into his hand.

The phone screen has been restored to its original state.

Shen Xi opened the game that was interrupted just now, and didn't care that the previous level was reset, and continued to restart the first level under the light.

Looking at Shen Xi, Nakahara finally realized that something was wrong. This something wrong came from Shen Xi and Osamu Dazai's attitude towards him. He had never seen Osamu Dazai care so much about a person.

But forget it, it's none of his business, Dazai has his own reasons for everything he does.

"Yeah, is Zhong leaving too?"

"Do I still have to stay here to suffer?"

Shen Xi raised his head, and politely said to Nakahara Chuya, "Goodbye, Mr. Chuya."

Nakahara Nakaya walked out of the store without even looking at him. Even though he was walking in the rain, not a drop of water fell on him. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket with a stinking face, and called Mori Ogai.

"Why did Nakaya-kun call me at this time? Alice-chan was almost woken up."

"Sorry boss." Nakahara Chuya said: "Dazai is indeed back, with that guy named Shen Xi."

Mori Ogai blinked, "Oh, it turned out to be Dazai-kun. After three months of disappearance, did he finally come back? But Shen Xi? If I remember correctly, he is from the Akashi family, why is he here? What about Yokohama?"

"Boss, what do you know?"

"The wife of the Akashi family passed away yesterday. This is big news, Nakaya-kun."

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned slightly, "Really? But... there is no sadness on that person, and it doesn't look like a family member has passed away at all."

Mori Ogai leaned on the head of the bed and thought for a while, "Chuya-kun don't worry about these things, since Dazai-kun is beside him, they can be completely suppressed."

"hope so."

On the other side, Dazai looked at the heavy rain outside the window, thinking about the devil all the time.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the leader of the underground organization House of Dead Rats, is obviously quite a scary person. Dazai Osamu does not think that he is simply doing this to himself. Say hello to yourself.

It wasn't until the invitation letter was delivered to him that Osamu Dazai finally confirmed the beginning of the whole incident.

"Shen Xi, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll take you to see Oda Zuo."

Shen Xi looked up from the gap in the game, "Okay, I'm also curious about friends who can make Dazai change."

……

"Accidents happened all over the world. Fog suddenly formed at night, and people with supernatural abilities died of their own abilities after the fog. We were commissioned to investigate this matter." Kunikida looked at the information, "Dazai, you What do you think?"

Osamu Dazai blinked, "Well, ask me? This kind of thing happens really frequently."

"It's not for you to sigh, but for you to talk about the solution!"

"Do you want to go on a business trip to investigate?"

Kunikida shook his head, "We will contact the Supernatural Secret Service Division at night, hoping to get more information."

"Oh, Kunikida-san is so capable!"

A vein appeared on Kunikida's forehead, "By the way, why did that guy appear in the detective agency with you! He even got together with Mr. Ranpo!"

Shen Xi turned her head, "Are you talking about me?"

"Of course it's you! You're not a member of our detective agency!"

Shen Xi lay on the table, "Mr. Ranpo is telling me a story, can Mr. Kunikida leave us alone?"

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Shen Xi and Edogawa Ranpo in surprise, "Can Mr. Ranpo tell stories?!"

"Are you so surprised?" Edogawa said with his arms akimbo, "I can also tell you stories, if you don't understand, just apologize to me with death!"

"Oh? Who is going to die?" Dr. Xie Ye appeared with a cup of coffee, "Great, I just need a subject for dissection."

Kunikida looked at Shen Xi with a frown, Mr. Ranpo's meaning was very clear, and Shen Xi understood the story that everyone couldn't understand.

To be able to maintain the same thinking as Mr. Ranpo, can this guy really stay in the detective agency?

"Don't worry about it." A serious voice sounded from behind, Kunikida turned around and saw President Fukuzawa.

"But, President..."

President Fukuzawa shook his head, "Mr. Akashi called me yesterday and entrusted us, mainly Dazai Osamu, to take care of Mr. Shen. Dazai also assured me that Mr. Shen would not cause any trouble, and I have already agreed."

"Mr. Shen is really amazing, he can understand Mr. Ranpo's story." Atsushi Nakajima sighed, "Mr. Ranpo told me a story before, but I couldn't understand it at all, and was disgusted by Mr. Ranpo. gone."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, "Well, Shen Xi's words are actually very good at learning, he just doesn't care."

On the other side, after hearing another story about Edogawa Ranpo, Shen Xi said, "Mr. Ranpo is amazing."

"Of course! I'm the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo! As long as I activate super reasoning, there will be no case that I can't solve!"

"Want to play a game?"

"No! The game is too easy! A detective has to solve a difficult murder case!"

"Then you want to try the strategy game?"

"Huh? What is that?"

Everyone looked at the two people who started to study the strategy game, and turned their heads after a while to continue discussing the event that the supernatural person was killed by their own supernatural power.

These two guys are like children who have found a playmate. Was Shen Xi like this before?

No, they didn't know Shen Xi at all, the only thing that impressed them was that this guy died in love with Osamu Dazai and both fell into the hospital.

……

Shen Xi watched Osamu Dazai pull out a white dress from the closet, it was really white, it seemed to shine on him.

"Dazai? Why are you wearing white all of a sudden? It doesn't look like you anymore."

"Because I'm going to an appointment." Osamu Dazai buttoned it up, "Shen Xi, you have to wear it too, remember to follow me closely, and I'll take you there this time."

Shen Xi looked at him inexplicably, "I'll just play games at home."

"I'm worried." Osamu Dazai looked at him, "Even if you don't follow me, you still have to follow the other members of the detective agency. There will be a big event tonight."

Just being put on a white dress like this, Shen Xi looked at herself in the mirror, "Why do I have to wear it too."

"I can recognize you in the dark."

Stepping into the night like this, Shen Xi looked around, "Who asked you out at night?"

"Catch me." Osamu Dazai didn't reply to Shen Xi, but told him to hold on tight, "As for who it is, you'll know when the time comes."

Shen Xi blinked, he clenched Osamu Dazai's hand, and walked step by step in the bleak and cold night after the rain.

But at this moment, a person rushed from the front, he rushed forward in panic, and bumped into Shen Xi without hesitation, at the same time, a figure glowing blue quickly brushed past Shen Xi's body and rushed to attack the person who people.

Shen Xi watched the two figures go away, and then realized that there seemed to be something strange around him.

It seems to be filled with black fog, even under the light, it is not clear.

"Dazai?"

Shen Xi looked around, just now he accidentally let go of Osamu Dazai's hand, but it's not like he couldn't find anyone in an instant.

"What about people?"

With a bang, Shen Xi looked forward, the car hit the wall, but there was no one in the driver's seat.

The flickering lights shone on Shen Xi's body, and Shen Xi turned around, looking around blankly.

Why all of a sudden... was he the only one left?
