The False Protagonist and the True Demon King[Comprehensive]

On the plane flying to China, Osamu Dazai leaned against the window and looked out, with a little worry in his eyes, not only because of the detective agency, but also because of Shen Xi.

Such a big thing happened in Yokohama, and the entire Armed Detective Agency was framed as the murderer. It stands to reason that these things should have been spread among the big figures in Tokyo, but now, the Akashi family has never contacted Shen Xi at all.

Not to mention contacting Shen Xi, they haven't even inquired about the detective agency, as if they have nothing to do with them after entrusting Shen Xi to the detective agency, anyway, Shen Xi is also the adopted son of the Akashi family, a relative by blood .

It's really suspicious to leave it alone like this.

"What is Dazai thinking?" Shen Xi leaned over his shoulder, "It's rare to see Dazai so serious."

"I'm thinking about the Detective Agency, Mr. Ranpo, and you." Osamu Dazai sighed, "After all, that's all I can worry about. If you want me to worry about other people, you can't."

Shen Xi nodded, "Actually, there is no need to worry so much. Mr. Ranpo is very powerful. Since he said there is no problem, then there must be no problem. It was Dazai who told me how powerful Mr. Ranpo is, so why is Dazai suspicious now?"

"It's not because of this." Dazai Osamu thought for a while, "I still trust Mr. Ranpo."

"It's fine." Shen Xi took off his hat and put it on Osamu Dazai's head, "Calm down, now is the vacation I've been fighting for for you for a long time."

Osamu Dazai took off his hat, with a smile in his iris eyes, "I see."

Since Mr. Ranpo has always said not to worry him, let's forget about the matter in Yokohama. Now is the time for him and Shen Xi to go out and play alone.

Hua Guo, this mysterious and terrifying country, might still be able to get in touch with Shen Xi's secrets before he was 15 years old.

Compared with playing games, Shen Xi's secret is more exciting.

After taking two planes in a row, he didn't close his eyes for nearly two days. Osamu Dazai felt unspeakably tired, but he couldn't fall asleep even though he was so tired and had a splitting headache. Closing his eyes was the same as if he hadn't closed them, and even felt worse than not closing them.

Just when his eyes were closed and his face was pale, a cold hand was placed on his forehead, the too cold temperature made Osamu Dazai shiver, and he barely opened his eyes.

"No fever." Shen Xi looked at Osamu Dazai, "Are you alright, Dazai?"

"No." Osamu Dazai replied hoarsely: "I'm just too tired, it's okay, just let me take a rest."

Shen Xi put his hand down, "Neon and Huaguo are neighboring countries, and the flight time is very short, Dazai, don't sleep soundly, it will be even more uncomfortable to be woken up."

"I see." Osamu Dazai grabbed his hand, "I can't sleep either, I have a headache."

As Shen Xi said, because the distance was very short, the plane arrived at the station very quickly, and Osamu Dazai was dragged out of the airport by Shen Xi.

Looking at Osamu Dazai who was obviously tired, Shen Xi pulled him to sit on a bench by the side of the road, and let him rest on his body.

Shen Xi dialed out the number he had dialed before.

The person on the other side quickly picked up the phone, with a bit of surprise in his voice, as if he was a little surprised that Shen Xi would call.

"Hey?"

"I'm at the airport." Shen Xi glanced at the time, it happened to be morning, seven or eight o'clock happened to be the morning rush hour, and there were horns everywhere outside, Dazai frowned and huddled in Shen Xi's arms, as if he had been quarreled Can't stand it.

The other side froze for a moment, "Ah? Didn't you say you won't come back?"

"I'll bring my friends back to play." Shen Xi carefully covered Osamu Dazai's ears with one hand, "Come and pick us up."

The other party was silent for a few seconds, "Is this friend of yours Osamu Dazai?"

"Yes." Shen Xi admitted bluntly, without the slightest ups and downs in her voice, and she didn't feel that she was wrong at all.

The other party shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you have said that, then there is nothing you can do, but you have to make sure that your friend will not affect us."

"He's asleep." Shen Xi looked at Osamu Dazai and whispered, "It's okay, he's very good."

good?The other party thought of the information they found. This former mafia cadre had committed a terrible number of cases. He could be called a milestone figure in the dark world. How can such a person be described as good?

But no matter what, they are all their own children, as long as they don't do anything illegal and disciplined, that's fine. Bringing friends back to play means that they will always go back, so they just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. I don't know.

The car showed up half an hour later, and the driver, who was dressed quite everyday, smiled kindly at them.

"It's you, the two guests waiting for the bus at the airport, come up quickly, I'm really sorry, the traffic jam is too severe at this time."

"It's okay." Shen Xi picked up Osamu Dazai and got into the car, "It's always like this in the morning rush hour, so it's hard for you to come here at this time."

The driver laughed loudly, "Did you just come back from a trip with your friends? I thought you were not Chinese when I first saw you, but I didn't expect you to speak Chinese very well."

"I came back from Neon, this is my Neon friend."

The driver nodded, "Well, is your friend okay? He seems to be not well."

"After staying up for three days and nights, I can't hold it anymore. It's okay, just sleep well."

At this time, Shen Xi was as polite as a good boy. Although he didn't smile, his words were full of respect and gentleness, which formed two extremes with the domineering him in Europe, and this was the one Dazai Osamu saw most often.

No one would think such Shen Xi is a dangerous person.

Although Osamu Dazai closed his eyes, he hadn't really fallen asleep yet. Although it was dark in front of him, he could always hear voices from outside, strange languages, strange people, strange cities, only Shen Xi familiar.

"You young people always like to stay up late, which is not good for your health, and you will feel very uncomfortable when you get old."

"Special circumstances, it won't happen in the future."

The car was driving slowly, and there was no other feeling in the car except for a slight shaking, which made him feel even more dizzy, Shen Xi kept holding his hand, this strong and familiar person stayed The feeling of being together made him feel better.

The destination arrived soon, and Shen Xi looked at the door of the room that had been blurred in his memory. Nearly 20 years had passed, and this seemed to be his first time returning home.

"Dazai, open your eyes, we're here."

Osamu Dazai struggled to open his eyes, "Is it there?"

"Well, right here."

Shen Xi took Osamu Dazai's hand and pulled him out. There was a man standing at the door. The man was wearing a ginger coat, a scarf around his neck, and a kind smile on his face. He looked very pleasing to the eye and very comfortable. .

"This is the key." The man threw the key in his hand to Shen Xi.

"Although you haven't come back for so many years, I have someone help you clean this house on a regular basis. It's still the same as before except that it's not very popular." There was nostalgia in the man's eyes, "Shen Xi, welcome home."

"Thank you." Shen Xi thanked, "Sorry for making you worry."

The man shook his head, "You're welcome, and I didn't offer much help. Your friend looks tired, so hurry up and go in with him."

Shen Xi nodded, he opened the door and took Osamu Dazai into the room, the middle-aged man stood at the door and watched the door close.

So many years have passed, and it has been seven years since he left. The young man at that time has changed into this appearance. He is really a different person from before. Sure enough, it was right to send him to his relatives.

Until now, he still remembered that when he took over the child, he couldn't forget the first time he saw Shen Xi.

Thin figure, dark scary eyes, and the terrible black atmosphere around him that can hardly be peeled off, he lives in his own world and wants to escape from this world, but the method he uses is death.

But now Shen Xi seems to have become a normal person, he would appreciate and take care of others, and his eyes are no longer completely barren.

Although I don't know if this is a disguise or it is true.

But... that's good enough.

The middle-aged man chuckled, although that magic stick was often unreliable, but this time it was very accurate, thanks to him.

……

Shen Xi originally thought that she had forgotten the previous things long ago, but when she stepped into the house, Shen Xi realized that she still remembered those memories quite clearly.

Just like what my uncle said, everything in this house is still the same, even the small toy car is in the same place.

Put Osamu Dazai on the sofa, Shen Xi sat beside him and looked around.

When he was five years old, he sat on this sofa and waited for his parents to come back, but he couldn't wait until dark, when he couldn't bear the hunger, the police uncle knocked on the door and told him that his parents had an accident.

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of death, and he didn't know that death meant seeing each other again. He had always stubbornly believed that his parents were just playing hide-and-seek with him, and as long as he found them, he would win.

Because of this, he wasn't too sad. After dinner, he thought about leaving to find his hidden parents.

It's a pity that he didn't find his parents, but was taken away by a woman instead.

Then came ten years of dark life.

Shen Xi turned on the TV. Even though he had not been home for nearly 20 years, the power was still not cut off. The TV channel happened to be the children's channel he was watching at the time. Watching the children's movies on TV, Shen Xi found it quite interesting.

The last time he sat here, he was five years old, and the next time he sat here, he was 22 years old.

Time is a wonderful thing. It can make a person's mind mature and make him successful, and he can also drive a person into hell.

Osamu Dazai who was lying on the sofa turned over uncomfortably, "Shen Xi?"

"Would you mind lying on a bed that no one has stayed in for 20 years?" Shen Xi looked at him, at this moment Osamu Dazai was lying on his lap, and he could see Osamu Dazai's sleepy eyes as soon as he lowered his head.

"Isn't this sofa unoccupied in 20 years?"

Shen Xi nodded in agreement, "It's true."

The bed belonging to five-year-old Shen Xi obviously cannot sleep two adults. Shen Xi pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and a large bed appeared in front of him. This was his parents' room.

Osamu Dazai opened the closet, and it was empty inside, but he thought it was true, in 20 years, these clothes would not last that long.

It's just that there is a thick photo album in the innermost cabinet, and there are pink images of flowers that have been together for a long time. Shen Xi leaned over and took a look, "It's my parents' wedding photos, right?"

Shen Xi's parents are both impeccable beauties, and such a beauty can give birth to such a good-looking child as Shen Xi. Osamu Dazai flipped through the photo album with great interest until he turned a page again. Osamu Dazai blinked his eyes. What's up?A cute little doll.

"Shen Xi, Chen Xi, is this you?"

Shen Xi leaned over and took a look, "Maybe... I don't know too well."

But it is obvious that this is Shen Xi's photo. Even this kind of blurry photo is enough to show how much his parents love him. Bubbles' kid grows up to look like a little boy.

It carefully marked his age, months, and what he had done, but these were all stagnant when Shen Xi was five years old, and the last photo was taken on his fifth birthday.

Osamu Dazai had no way to connect the bright little boy smiling standing in front of the cake with Shen Xi in the photo. Once they overlapped, Osamu Dazai would feel flustered. Who took away Shen Xi's smile?

"Aren't you sleepy?" Shen Xi took the photo album out of his hand, "Don't look at it, go to bed quickly."

Osamu Dazai hugged Shen Xi and wanted to snatch the album back, "No, I want to see more of little Shen Xi, you were so cute when you were young."

"Does Dazai want to become like Mr. Mori?"

Lolicon?Osamu Dazai shivered.

He withdrew his hand in an instant and lay back on the bed obediently.

"When we wake up, can you take me to the place where you were locked up?"

Shen Xi was a little puzzled, "What's so interesting about that?"

"It's all here, I want to read everything." Osamu Dazai looked at him sideways, with a gentle star-like luster in his iris eyes, "I want to know Shen Xi, because... you Is my friend."

"Friend?" Shen Xi thought for a while, "I thought you were chasing me."

Osamu Dazai immediately covered his face with a blanket, "Shen Xi, you are such a little bastard."

"Ah? Dazai, don't act like a baby." Shen Xi poked the blanket, "Aren't you bored buried in the blanket like this?"

"It's boring." Osamu Dazai poked his head out and looked at Shen Xi, "But who do you think is to blame?"

Shen Xi tilted his head, and pointed at himself after a while, "Could it be that I can be blamed for this?"

"Sure enough, he's a little bastard." Osamu Dazai threw himself on Shen Xi's body, "It's obvious that you can see everything, but pretend you don't know it, right? It's really disgusting."

Shen Xi resisted Osamu Dazai, and retorted a little unconvinced, "But Dazai often knows everything but doesn't say anything."

"It's completely different, okay!" Osamu Dazai grabbed his face, "I didn't hide it from you, okay, but you even hid it from me, it's so unfair! I ask you to make it up to me!"

Shen Xi pushed his hand out, rubbing his face to avoid Dazai Osamu's eager claws, "Then how do you want to make it up?"

Osamu Dazai leaned towards his face with a smile, and kissed the corner of his lips lightly, and Shen Xi finished it without even reacting.

"That's it." Osamu Dazai retracted into the blanket, "Good night."

Shen Xi looked at the sun that had just risen in the sky, and whispered back, "Good night."

……

It was already afternoon when the two woke up, and the time was close to five o'clock. When they opened the curtains, Shen Xi saw that the sky outside the window had begun to darken. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Osamu Dazai opened his eyes in a daze. .

"What time is it, Shen Xi?"

"It's almost five o'clock." Shen Xi got out of bed and straightened her clothes, "Dazai get up, someone is knocking on the door."

Being able to knock on Shen Xi's door is enough to show that the person who came was likely to be an important person from Huaguo. Osamu Dazai rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. After struggling for a while, he lay down again. Sleep is the most important thing.

"Get up, you'll feel uncomfortable if you sleep too much." Shen Xi pulled Osamu Dazai up from the bed, "I've slept enough since morning."

Reluctantly getting up, Osamu Dazai spread out on the sofa, looking like he was dying.

The person who came was the one who gave Shen Xi the key during the day, with a smile on his face, "Come over to see you after get off work."

Osamu Dazai was lying on the sofa, because he couldn't understand what was said, so he didn't pay attention at all.

At this moment, the man suddenly spoke in neon language, "Mr. Dazai, hello, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Osamu Dazai blinked, "Oh? Me?"

"Yes, Mr. Dazai should be very clear about his identity after all."

What I said means that we know your information very well. Now I want to talk to you about this issue. I hope you will listen honestly.

Shen Xi did not refute, he just sat beside Osamu Dazai, showing that he would not avoid it.

"Since it is Shen Xi's friend who comes to China to play, we are of course very welcome, but I hope that Mr. Dazai will not touch some things that shouldn't be touched, and don't go to some places that shouldn't be. Others can be free."

Osamu Dazai sat on the sofa and nodded with a smile, "Oh... I'm a good person, why would I do something terrible?"

"Mr. Dazai is too self-effacing."

"No, I was originally a good person. Although a little accident happened now, I will be able to restore my status as a good person soon!"

Osamu Dazai had such an expression, "It's all said, sir, I still don't know what your name is?"

"Sorry for not introducing myself. My surname is Shu, and my name is Sheyu." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Shu Sheyu?Osamu Dazai heard this name for the first time.

Speaking of which, although Huaguo's intelligence is quite difficult to detect, he still knows a few powerful supernatural beings on the surface, and he doesn't know what those supernatural beings are. Leaving aside for now, he still knows the simple names.

Zhou Shuren, Zhu Ziqing, Hu Shi...but never heard of this Shu Sheyu.

"A lot of advice."

"But compared to this, can you tell me what Shen Xi experienced before he was 15 years old? Shen Xi told me several times, but I have always been puzzled, because according to what he said, there is a big gap with reality. deviation."

Shu Sheyu was slightly taken aback, "He even told you this?"

"It's not something shameful, why can't you say it." Shen Xi looked at him with some doubts, "There's no need to hide it."

Shu Sheyu thought to himself, you haven't told any of us.

"I'm sorry I can't answer this question, but if you're really curious, you can go and see for yourself."

This sentence is enough to show that the ten years in Shen Xi's memory were wrong.

Shen Xi sat on the sofa and looked at him. There was no emotion in his dark eyes. It seemed that this matter did not surprise him, or that he didn't care at all, even his own past. How meaningless.

"Shen Xi, seven years have passed, and you have grown up, and many things have to be decided by yourself."

He still remembered that black-haired boy jumped into the dry well in front of him and tried to commit suicide. After he rescued him, he asked him why he did that. The boy's answer was: I want to leave here.

No one knew why he pursued death like moths to a flame, but now, since he was willing to tell another person about the ten years he remembered, did it mean that he had begun to open his heart.

Will the secret events of that ten-year period reveal the truth?

"Dazai, I'm so hungry, let's go eat."

Osamu Dazai was instantly diverted by Shen Xi, "Hmm! I want to eat super spicy food! Oda Saku once said that Huaguo's food suits his taste quite well."

"Super spicy?" Shen Xi thought for a while, "Okay, I will ask the store to put more spice."

Shu Sheyu looked at the two young people who were eager to try, "Well, if it's spicy food, be careful when ordering spicy food."

"It's okay, I've eaten a lot of spicy food!" Osamu Dazai was gearing up to conquer Huaguo's dishes, "It doesn't matter if it's a little spicy."

Even so, Osamu Dazai couldn't help being shocked when the restaurant brought the dishes.

Ah, this bright red color, this spicy taste that makes you choke if you smell it, is this the legendary spicy? !

"Dazai?" Shen Xi looked at him, "Why don't you eat?"

"I'm thinking about it." Osamu Dazai stared at the dying fish, "If I eat it, will I just die?"

Shu Sheyu ate the white rice and thought to himself, most of the food in Nihong is light, and it has been a long time since I have seen the Nihong people who want to be spicy when they come to China.

Shen Xi took a chopstick of fish meat and chewed it in his mouth with a blank expression, like chewing rubber.

"How is it? What's the smell!"

Shen Xi swallowed the fish, "It's so spicy."

"Shen Xi, if you say you are so hot without blushing or even expressing your expression, it will make me feel that you are lying to me..."

With a fearless expression, he picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. The instantly soaring spicy taste rushed directly to the whole mouth, his tongue and lips were stinging. Osamu Dazai spit out the fish, unwilling to continue to embarrass himself.

"Sure enough, it's the spiciness of hell. It turns out that Oda Saku likes this kind of thing, it's really incomprehensible." After taking a few sips of water to dilute the spiciness in his mouth, Osamu Dazai looked at the man who was slowly eating white rice Shu Sheyu.

"What is Mr. Shu's ability? Mind telling me?"

Shu Sheyu put down the bowls and chopsticks, and responded to Osamu Dazai with a bright smile, "My special ability is very tasteless and has no lethality, so I can only do extra things, and you don't need to know."

Osamu Dazai poked the rice in the bowl, "I don't think Mr. Shu is an ordinary person who can represent the country of Hua and communicate with the outside world."

"Mr. Luanbu is very powerful even without supernatural powers." Shen Xi added a sentence.

"So in other words, whether you are powerful or not has nothing to do with supernatural powers." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, "Mr. Shu doesn't think so?"
