disqualified hero

[How should I reply? ] Osamu Dazai stared at the last two lines, thinking for a long time, and wanted to reject it out of his heart, but people who are as calm as stagnant water tend to erupt more violently than those who are enthusiastic. He has been in touch with Mr. O for a long time, and the other party never exceeds, will Sending such a letter must be prepared to dig deep and find the person.

Dazai is not afraid of intelligence warfare, but moving for a letter is too troublesome.

He made several excuses to convince himself, such as "moving is tiring", "don't you want to know what kind of person O is", "he is also very interesting in real life".

more importantly……

Don't you, don't want to see him?

His eyes flickered, and the eyelashes on his eyelids trembled. Dazai's eyelashes were very thick and curled at the ends. When women stared at his eyes, they would feel pity because of the eyelashes. It may be the maternal instinct for weak men.

[Even if I agree, it doesn’t mean much. On the contrary, it is cruel to give others false hopes. ] Thinking in my heart, I picked up a pen and wrote down completely different words on paper.

/I have to say that Mr. O will always give me extra surprises. After reading the last few lines, even I was so shocked that I almost jumped out of my chair.One of the important factors why a believer is a believer is the sense of mystery that he has never met before, because if he has never met, he can stop treating the author behind the letter as a person, and put him in the name of a machine and voice service, without the real life. Instead, people will become honest and can say anything.

It's a shame to admit it, but Mr. O is a fantasy friend in my heart. Children under the age of eight may want to meet their dream friends in reality, and adults are just the opposite. /

Seeing this, the corners of Oda Sakunosuke's mouth drooped. He didn't show his emotions, and his expression fluctuated less. The downturned corners of his mouth are the most representative expression of "disappointment" he can put on.

What he didn't expect was that the next second turned around.

/ I need to go on a business trip recently, and I will not be in Japan within two weeks. If Mr. O really wants to see me, come to Yokohama Port on the night of the 29th. At the ferry terminal of Yokohama Port at 11:[-] p.m., if you are lucky, we can meet you On the one hand, to satisfy your little wish. /

[Why? ]

[Mr. D means, agree? ]

I don't understand his logical sequence at all. The last paragraph clearly refused, but in the end he gave the agreed time and place. If someone else reads the letter, his scalp will be numb due to Osamu Dazai's capriciousness, and his fingers will be stuck like nails. He scratched his head frantically, but it was a pity that he was not looking at anyone else but Sakunosuke Oda. He was quite tolerant, and when he met strange friends, he always showed his attitude of "not seeking to understand", and he had no desire to explore Dazai's inner activities, just his own. Eyes, Oda Saku's eyes are like the sky at seven o'clock in the evening in summer, the sky alternates between evening and night, the blue-red gradient sky is lit up by stars one by one, and the sky is full of stars.

[Very good. ] He solemnly folded the letter paper into four squares and put it in the pocket closest to his heart.

That's great.

……

On the morning of the 11th, Tanada Shantou went to Dazai again.

"I have to trouble you to do something for me, Dazai-kun." The elder folded his hands on the table, looking at Dazai with more majesty than ever.

"What?" Dazai asked, "Could it be that you are going to help the Supernatural Secret Service with a mission?" If you refuse, go ahead, "If that's the case, the Supernatural Secret Service is too good at oppressing people, I'm clearly still a rookie who is blind with both hands , Even the other members of the department have not met, and the mission is about to go out." He said, "I'm not an agent, Chief Farmer."

Taneda sighed and said: "If there is a suitable candidate, I will never let you go, Dazai-kun, but this matter is really only you that can handle it." After speaking, he opened the drawer, picked up a receipt, and put it in the on the desktop.

Dazai didn't ask anything, just smiled and waited for Tanda to talk.

"This is the admission ticket for the Ghost." He said succinctly, "I hope Mr. Dazai can board this ship and help me inquire about some things. If there is a way, it is best to take a photo of it and bring it back."

"You have to tell me first what you need."

Zengtian said, "Have you heard of books?"

"Book, what book?" Dazai said, "I have read many books, and they should not be what you are referring to."

"I'm talking about a book that can change the world and affect reality." Zhongtian explained, "There is a book that says that words written on blank pages can be transformed into reality."

Dazai showed a proper look of surprise: "Then I really haven't heard of it."

"Some people say that the book appeared on the ghost ship." Taneda said, "I've heard the rumors, but I don't believe it exists. I'd like to ask Dazai-kun to confirm it for me. If it exists, I will auction it off."

"How many people have heard the rumor of the book?"

"Rarely." Zhong Tian said, "but those who are interested will not miss it."

"It's really a tiger's den and a dragon's pool, Ghost." Dazai said with a sigh, "Even I can't promise to bring it down."

Having said that, Taneda understands that Dazai accepted the mission half-heartedly. He is not very loyal to the Supernatural Secret Service Division. Look at his eyes——

Taneda smiled wryly, and immediately flattened the corners of his mouth. He saw the swirls in Dazai's eyes, dotted with sparks, and he would show this expression whenever something could arouse Dazai's interest.

It has been almost six years since he approached Dazai to handle the first case. At that time, the young man who had just entered the growth period was not as tall as a woman, and his height was only more than 1.6 meters. It looked like a child in stature, but his wisdom was the opposite of a child's body. .

"An event that can't be handled?" He still remembered what Dazai said, "It has to be interesting. If I can't add interest to the ordinary life, I will never agree."

So far, it has been six years.

Dazai asked: "What can I bring on board, can I bring communication tools?"

"Unfortunately, every passenger has to go through a rigorous search before boarding the ship." Zhong Tian said, "No means of communication can be brought on board."

"As for luggage, you can bring fifty kilograms."

"Fifty kilograms?" Osamu Dazai rolled his eyes, "Anything is fine?"

"Yes." Zhong Tian said, "Animate and inanimate, I heard from my old friend that some people are going to bring a sufficient amount of gold aboard, and some people have brought a parcel of diamonds."

"Is anyone bringing live animals?" Osamu Dazai asked.

"I don't know." Zhong Tian joked, "Maybe you can see Panda on the boat, he is a priceless treasure."

Dazai said, "I see." He knew what to bring aboard.

……

"Ghost ship?" Shuji Tsushima's reaction was no different from what Osamu Dazai expected. Although the two have fallen into a period of breakdown in their relationship, they can still maintain peace on the surface. Put on a laughing mask.He was eager for excitement, and after hearing the rumors of the ghost ship, he was really interested.

"I have a luggage weight of 50kg." Dazai said, "Do you want to go on board with me?"

"Luggage?" Shuji Tsushima thought about his weight, because he was still a child, and the weight was definitely less than a hundred catties. "Do you have anything else that you need to bring?"

"I heard that the facilities on the ship are very luxurious, and all the toiletries and clothes should be provided. As for the contraband, they were confiscated before boarding the ship." Dazai said, "That is an oil tanker that claims to have everything, even if I want to read this book in a small language. You can find all the rare books." He made an empty-handed gesture, "If that's the case, why should I bother to bring consumables on board?"

"I'm going." Speaking of this, Shuji Tsushima couldn't disagree. He was very interested in the legendary ferry, and at the same time he didn't forget to spy on Osamu Dazai, "So why did you get the ticket? Is it related to the new job you said?"

"Probably." Dazai only gave an ambiguous answer.

"You can find out for yourself."

……

"Butt, buckle." The half-closed door was knocked three times, and Nakahara Zhongya stood at the door cautiously, his toes bound in the shoes were stiff, and he heard a "creak" after waiting a while, Alice in a nurse's cap popped out from behind the door, winking at him with a mischievous look.

"Alice." Zhong Yuan took out his hands from his pockets. Chunqin had taught him to be polite when meeting people.

"Come with me." After Zhongyuan Zhongye squeezed in through the door, Alice closed the door and returned to the previous situation where there was no one around.After the first door is a quiet corridor, the lights are dim, blue light flickers from time to time, and moths dance around the lamp tubes.

When I came back last time, I bickered with Shuji Tsushima all the way, and I was not affected by the gloomy atmosphere in the hospital. I felt different this time.

The more he walked in, the more sore his teeth became, and he thought to himself: I don't know why Mori Ogai is looking for him.

He has to help each other out of emotion and reason, and Nakahara also values ​​friendship. He has been favored by Mori Ogai twice. The first time is Chun Qin. Fei, the second time was the time when Osamu Dazai brought him here, after all, the local government also helped.

Zhongyuan also hates to owe favors, as long as it is owed, it will be repaid.

"Hello." Alice had a bad attitude towards Mori Ogai, and she was obviously weird towards Chuya Nakahara, but after the replacement, she bared her teeth and claws like a lion with fur, "Here we are."

"Thank you, Alice sauce." The uncle's eyes narrowed into two slits again, to be honest, a little wretched, "Then please go and treat the patients first..." Before finishing speaking, Alice slammed the door With a flick, she could still hear her angrily complaining after walking away, "Really, Lin Taro is really good at instigating people."

"What do you want from me, Dr. Mori." Nakahara Nakaya stood up straight, Mori Ogai glanced at him and smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, Nakahara-kun." He said, "Can I call you Nakahara-kun?" ?”

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't care much about the address, he nodded cautiously and said, "Of course."

"I came here this time to ask Chuya-kun to ask you something." The doctor said kindly, "If I remember correctly, Zhongya-kun has an offensive ability, and it's extra powerful, right? I heard it is The ability to single-handedly wipe out medium-sized mafia organizations."

Hearing this, Nakahara Chuya's answer became more cautious, "You've said it."

"Don't worry, Nakaya-kun, I'm asking about your supernatural ability, not to use it to do bad things." He smiled slyly, Mori Ogai's smile was very similar to Dazai Osamu for a moment, "I think you can Treat it as a private commission."

"Private entrustment?"

"I want to hire Chuya-kun as my personal bodyguard to protect me to attend a rally." He said slowly, "The time is two weeks and fourteen days, and the location is a cruise ship going back and forth on the Sea of ​​Japan."

"You want me to leave Yokohama?!" Zhongya Nakahara really didn't expect it, but at the same time, the location far away from Yokohama and the two weeks' time made him very hesitant.

Other than that, he had nothing to worry about. The only thing he cared about was the sheep.

Central Plains also regards them as baby birds that have just hatched, and they don't want to leave their sight for even a day.

"Please don't worry, Chuya-kun." Mori Ogai said, "I know what you are hesitating about, but I have been working in the slums for a long time, and I have some contacts. It's only two weeks, and the people who helped you take good care of the sheep are still missing. No problem, as long as they don't go out and cause trouble." He said, "I will pay you enough money and supplies after the fact according to the employment method. With these, the sheep organization can live comfortably for a period of time." He said suddenly As if thinking of something, he patted himself on the head and said, "We can make a written statement. If the sheep owner is injured, I will make corresponding compensation." Mori Ogai said lightly, "According to the traditional Japanese way of apologizing, seppuku How about an apology?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also vetoed it, saying: "No, there is no need." He said awkwardly, "Wait, I will discuss it with them and give you an answer in a few days."

"It's best to give me an answer within two days, Chuya-kun." Mori Ogai said, "We still have to go to Aomori Port." He said it as if Nakahara Chuya had agreed.

……

7 month 16 day.

clear.

11:30pm.

"Super—awesome—" Nakahara Nakaya raised his head and looked up at the giant cruise ship docked at Aomori Port. This small port, which is often used for fishing and even rare for merchant ships, ushered in a giant ship that is rare in a century, not to mention It is Chuya Nakahara. He has stayed in Yokohama for a long time. He always went to the port to see the cargo ships and the ferries carrying tourists. When he first saw it, he was shocked by its spacious and vast deck and huge body. It became unremarkable.

But the ghost ship is different. It is precisely because I have seen thousands of ships that I can feel its value.

Aomori Port is even narrower.

"It's amazing, Chuya-kun." Mori Ogai smiled, looking like a nice guy, "It's the largest luxury passenger ship in the world, and it's said that you can find everything you need on board."

Zhong Yuanzhong also heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Does Dr. Sen want anything?"

"Ok?"

"What you just said can be found on the boat, right." He said, "In this case, it should be difficult to get a boat ticket, what are you looking for on board?" He continued, "If you don't say anything It's okay, if it's a secret."

"It's no secret what I'm looking for." He had a slightly distressed look on his face, "Compared to what other passengers are looking for, what I want is beyond mediocre, it's trivial. It's in the dust."

"The leader of the port mafia is seriously ill." Mori Ogai said, "I have seen him. If you want to prolong your life, you need a special type of organ, which is not something that a little doctor like me can take." Even if you use all the power of the port mafia, you can't win it, so I can only try my luck on the ghost ship."

Zhongyuan Zhongye's teeth became sore again: "Hey, what's going on, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"how?"

"As soon as you hear it, you know that the boat ticket is super precious, right. No matter how you look at it, it is much more precious than the organ you want. If this is the case, why don't you use the boat ticket to exchange for what you want." He said, "And you can get Isn’t it more powerful than the port mafia when you arrive at the ticket, why do you want to be a little doctor.”

"Hmm." Mori Ogai said, "It's hard to explain the twists and turns. First of all, Nakaya-kun, my ticket can be said to have come from heaven in a sense," he said, "You can understand it as, A dying guest fell in a storm, and I sent him on his last journey, and he gave me his ticket as a thank you."

[Liar! ] Zhongyuan Zhong also thought: [It's almost the same if you kill that person. ]

"Secondly, what I want can't be given by a small boat ticket, but the port mafia can give it to me, as long as it takes a few years." If Shuji Tsushima is here, he will definitely use Hobo "Looks like I've heard a conspiracy," said in a calm tone. Although Zhongya Nakahara was smart, he didn't get to that point, so he had some vague guesses, but he wouldn't say much.

"In the end, I also want to know what it's like on the boat." There was a lingering weirdness in his words, "Let me see."

"oops."

"—" Zhongyuan Zhong also swore, he heard the sound of nerves tensing in his brain, and the "oops" was obviously coming from a distance, but it made all the hairs on his body explode.

"Interesting." The voice of an adult said, "Even if I am, I have never seen a cruise ship like Dacheng."

Familiar voice.

"Get on board, get on board." Shuji Tsushima said, "I hope I can get a room as luggage."

"It's unlikely." Osamu Dazai said, "It's more likely that you will live with me."

"Hmm——" Shuji Tsushima pondered for a while, he was thinking about the pros and cons, but the next second, the orange-red hair in front of him caught his attention, his eyes lit up, it was clear that the cat saw the little fish and the dog saw it The fleshy bones, the teasing intention is too obvious, "Look who is in front—" he shouted in a drawn-out voice, "Slug-slug-jun—"

Nakahara Chuya gritted his teeth, and even Nakamori Ogai's tone of voice changed: "Did you agree to come together?"

"No." A slug made Mori Ogai also turn his head, "We haven't contacted, this can only be said to be a beautiful accident." He touched his clean chin with his hand, "No, it's not an accident, he is here If so, at least it can explain..."

"What did you say?" Mori Ogai's voice became smaller and smaller, and Nakahara couldn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing."

Two grown-ups with different plans approached, with fox-like smiles on their faces.

……

14:00pm.

The ship set sail on time at 12:[-] noon. Dazai Osamu and Mori Ogai were almost the last two to arrive. As for the rooms on the ship, they are not divided according to the tickets, but randomly drawn after boarding. What can be guaranteed is that there are no third-class passengers on board. All cabins are first class.

The rooms of Dazai Osamu and Tsushima Shuji are on the third floor, while Mori Ogai is on the first floor.

The room was very big, but unfortunately there was only one set of keys. Dazai asked the elusive waiter for another set, but got a reply from a guest that there was only one set of keys, so he said to Shuji Tsushima: "You can only follow me, Or we agree to gather time and place to explore freely."

Shuji Tsushima said: "I want to follow you first, and then move around after turning the boat around."

"can."

They first spent a while exploring the inside of the room. This is a suite with a master bedroom and two second bedrooms. The decoration style is almost exaggerated. There are chandeliers with strings of crystal balls and a flashy fireplace. Everyone knows that stuff. Will not ignite at sea.

Everything in the room should be complete, and there is even a special communication mobile phone on board. Shuji Tsushima and Osamu Dazai skipped it at a glance, and they didn't take the mobile phone.

"One ticket corresponds to one person and [-] kilograms of luggage." Shuji Tsushima said, "I guess except you and Dr. Mori, no one will take a helpless child on board, except perverts."

The room didn't look like it was for one person.

"They can buy someone new." Osamu Dazai shrugged.

At two o'clock, they ate something. They met Dr. Mori and Nakahara Chuya in the banquet hall. The combination of adults and children gained a lot of glances. Dazai Osamu and Tsushima Shuji came in to help them disperse attention from all directions force.

—Look, there is more than one lunatic.

Several people stared at Osamu Dazai. As the person holding the ticket, he was too young.

"Misters and ladies, good afternoon." The voices came from all directions, from the radio, Osamu Dazai and the others looked up at the same time, but saw the person standing on the stage in front of him. He was wearing a black suit. For middle-aged people, it is very difficult to judge their age. It is possible to say that they are in their twenties, or they may be in their forties or fifties. There are always some people who can't tell their age.

He is probably Russian, his voice is as bright as a bell, his face is full of vitality, and his body is full of vitality: "Welcome to my ghost ship, where you can find everything you want."

"The casino on the first floor is open 12/[-]. When sailing into the open sea, that is, the first auction will be held on the third day. The auction will last until No. [-] days. On the high seas, the auction items are more precious every day than the previous day, please see the auction item collection in your hand first, and prepare equivalent exchange items in advance if you have a favorite item.”

"In addition, we also have special products that have not been announced in the collection, so don't miss them."

"I am Karamazov, at your service."

Applause, turn off the lights, and turn on the lights again. The owner of the boat, Karamazov, completed his debut performance. The faces of Mori Ogai and the others were all different. The oldest Mori was thoughtful, and Dazai was holding a wine glass, watching the red wine under the light. The refracted brilliance seemed to put his heart and soul into the wine, Shuji Tsushima smiled ambiguously, and Chuya Nakahara, sorry, he looked very irritable.

"Hello." He finally couldn't help asking Shuji Tsushima, even though he knew he was asking for trouble, "Can you understand what he said?" He said, "The big tongue is Russian, right?" He didn't believe it, Does everyone present speak Russian?

Nakahara Chuya’s foreign language mastery skills only include Japanese and English. He speaks English with a Japanese style. He also mastered a little French and Russian words, which are all words in poetry anthologies. The small round glasses that sell books teach a few In a word, Nakahara Chuya's learning ability is not bad, and he is knowledgeable in the slums.

It is good enough to be able to master English, but it is difficult for him to master Russian.

Shuji Tsushima looked at him with the eyes of an alien, which made Nakahara very unhappy: "What are you looking at?"

"I was wondering what to say," Tsujima said. "On the one hand, the fact that the slug was able to recognize that he was speaking Russian was a milestone in the evolutionary journey."

Nakahara Chuya raised his fist.

"On the other hand." Shuji Tsushima slowly added before his fist dropped, "Don't you know that there is a profession in the world called simultaneous translation?" He pointed at the others, all of whom had black dicks in their cochleas headset.

"People here come from all over the world, you can't expect them all to master the basic skills of Russian." He said, "Americans in particular, don't they hate everything related to the Soviet Union?" He said with a narrow smile, "Of course, we A group of people didn’t wear headsets, only you didn’t understand what he said, Mr. Slug, sure enough, there is a big difference between people and slugs.”

Well, the Central Plains also beat people.

Dazai sighed and said, "Why do you keep flirting with him?" He didn't stop him, and let them fight.

but……

[Is it an exchange item? ]

……

When it comes to the discipline of children, Ogai Mori and Osamu Dazai are both hands-off. The adults went to do their own things, while the children ran wildly on the boat. Osamu Dazai even left the keys of the house to Shuji Tsushima: "If there is any You need to go back by yourself." After he finished speaking, he flashed into the crowd.

Chuya Nakahara originally said that he would fulfill his mission and protect Mori Ogai without a break. Who would have thought that he had such a heart, but the person concerned did not cooperate, and said with a smile, "The bodyguard job started on the third day of the auction, so let's take care of it now." Let's go play, Mr. Zhongye", everyone ran away without a trace, and Zhongyuan Zhongye had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only have fun for himself. He thought about visiting the huge cruise ship first, and then decided what to do.

[I have changed my mind. ] Nakahara Chuya looked at Shuji Tsushima in front of him, his eyelids twitched, he suddenly understood the meaning of the Chinese word Enjialuzhai, and was fascinated by the profoundness of Sinology.

"Ah, we met again." Shuji Tsushima was sitting in front of the gaming table. He was only two-thirds taller than an adult, but he sat on a high stool in style, with chips piled up on both sides of his hands. Make other guests at the table jealous.

Zhongyuan Zhong also saw him triumphant, wishing to punch him to the ground and kick him a few more times, but he didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly, wanting to go back and hit his own little steel ball.

"Why don't you come and play, Slug-kun." He provocatively said several words but did not continue to play cards. The young man sitting opposite Shuji Tsushima took the lead in expressing his displeasure. Tatsuhiko Shibusawa was about the same age as Osamu Dazai, but There was a lot of excitement among those with supernatural powers. He urged Shuji Tsushima, "If you have any other tricks, hurry up." He is too young, and it is completely understandable if a genius has some eccentricities. Ryu Shibusawa Hiko is a genius who can overturn the world.

The adults at the same table were retreating steadily, and Zhongyuan Zhong also refused to go to the gambling table again before he went far.

"Hmm—" Zhong Yuanzhong also looked back, only to see a pale silhouette passing by, as thin as a ghost.He saw the child with shackled hands and feet sitting at the gaming table, and said in Russian-style English: "Add me."

Fyodor raised his head, like a statue of a son praying for God's mercy.
