[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

"Hello?"

Cheng tilted his head, trying to greet Mr. Kidnapper.

However, the other party's gaze never turned to her.

In this semi-abandoned building that temporarily served as a safe house, there were only two people, Summi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke. After a concealed arrangement, it was difficult to immediately determine their exact location from the outside.

But for the two of them, in the empty and silent hall on the entire floor, Fang Convenience was the only other life form that could not be ignored.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke doesn't seem to think so.

Cheng heard the echo of his own words slowly falling, but the other party still didn't give him any attention, so he couldn't help but sighed, patted his clothes, stood up, and walked towards the stairs.

Just when she was about to step down the first step, Rashomon's thorns pressed against her neck with killing intent, followed by a young man's voice.

"Do you want to die?"

"No, just wanted to try."

Cheng looked back at him and smiled.

"Maybe you've forgotten that I'm here?"

Akutagawa's eyes swept over her without warmth.

"Before Valia's people arrive and complete the handover, please be quiet."

"I see."

Cheng turned around, and when she started to move, Rashomon stepped back a little bit, but still surrounded her with a fierce eye.And Cheng didn't seem to see these substances that could kill her easily, and walked towards Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

"Hong Kong gangsters really have no reason to attack me..."

When she was still a few steps away from the other party, Rashomon suddenly rushed towards her, wrapping around her wrists and ankles, like a black execution platform with overgrown branches and leaves.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stared at her coldly.

"You know me."

In fact, Akutagawa didn't care about it, so he quickly continued to ask.

"Do you know the man Oda Sakunosuke?"

Cheng replied.

"……Yes."

"How much information do you have about him?"

"..."

Her silence made Akutagawa's tyrannical part swell up, but when he was going to use a more direct and bloody way to torture the answer he wanted, he met her gaze.

Her gaze is calm.

This kind of calm is not a void of lack of emotion, on the contrary, it is overflowing and rich, like a warm spring day that makes people drowsy, the wind and water flow are very quiet, and even the fall of light becomes slow , everything finds a place of comfort in this gentle tenderness.

Her calm, is such a calm.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is no stranger to this.

Even if it might not be a spring day, it might just be a cold morning after a snowy night.

He, too, had been soothed by this peace before falling asleep peacefully.

"Akutagawa-kun."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke raised his head suddenly, the voice calling him overlapped with the memory, but what caught his eyes was a completely unfamiliar face.

He knew her name was also "Cheng".

"Cheng" said to him.

"Akutagawa-kun, what do you want to know?"

# # #

"It seems that the battle of the heirs is about to begin."

Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't understand Reborn's words, but Dino beside him nodded with a serious expression.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"The response speed of the intelligence department is abnormal." Reborn said, "The management authority is probably no longer in our hands...Although I also have my own backup, but I can complete the replacement in such a short period of time, the guy from Valia It’s more capable than I imagined.”

"The ones who took Cheng away were members of Hong Kong Hei. In other words, did Hong Kong Hei choose to form an alliance with Xanxus?"

"no need to worry."

Reborn brushed off the brim of his hat, and Len climbed down his shoulders, turning into a gun in his hand.

"If we are here, we will also prepare matching alliance partners."

He turned to the brown-haired boy who had been uncharacteristically silent.

"Gang, the next step is to get serious." Reborn asked, "Peng Lie's heir, and Miss Cheng..."

"I don't want to be Judaime, reborn, and I don't want to fight for the heir."

Tsunayoshi Sawada raised his gaze.

"But I will definitely bring Miss Cheng back."

# # #

The information obtained from Pengele's side allowed Yunque to confirm that the person who took Cheng had not left Bingsheng. After checking several possible locations but found nothing, he almost didn't stop, and immediately rushed to the next place.

His actions are very neat. In fact, Hibari Kyouya is a very rational person, but his logic is completely based on himself, so his rationality is not bound by the rules in the eyes of ordinary people. This is what caused his temperament. The source of aloofness and wantonness.

At least in Cheng's eyes, Hibari Kyouya is a very easy-to-understand person.But even if it wasn't Cheng, he could still see the terrifying air pressure surrounding Hibari at this time.

It was the worst defeat he had ever received, and the only way to give it back was to take back what had been taken.

The sound of piercing the sky at the back of the heart made Skylark stop suddenly. After he knocked down the throwing knives one by one, the sound of the boy laughing came from above his head.

"What a pity." Bell sat on the broken wall, swinging his legs childishly, "The prince thought he could kill you by the way."

Skylark gave him a dangerous look, then turned around and continued to move forward, and even Bell, who was extremely rare, did not intend to entangle, and walked along the top of the wall in small steps to go deeper.

Of course, there is only one reason why the two are walking in the same direction, and that is that the person they are looking for is there.

"Thieves should be executed."

Bell suddenly said.

"The prince will definitely kill you."

Skylark's pace did not hesitate at all.

"That's not your thing."

"Dare to say, thief."

Skylark turned his face away, two daggers brushed against the hem of his clothes and pinned them to his feet, but he didn't even get his short blow.

This once again intensified Bell's anger and jealousy.

"Cheng should only bake toast for the prince, buy candy and sew bears for the prince—"

"..."

said Skylark.

"I'm a Japanese foodie."

Hibari Kyouya prefers the Eastern way of washing his hands and making soup, and at the same time, he will not let the other party sew a bear for him.

"You stole Cheng's time from me!!"

"yes."

The black-haired boy said lightly.

"It's already mine anyway."

"!!!"

Bell stopped talking, and after his emotional ups and downs exceeded the limit, he suddenly calmed down instead.

"No, you're not a thief...she just wasn't kept."

Bell stared down at the sky reflected from the dagger's shiny side.

"You're not a winner either—do you think you can keep her?"

# # #

Chung asked Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

"What do you want to know?"

Akutagawa opened his eyes wide, and the face of the stranger in front of him was reflected in it, but gradually overlapped with another shadow.

He began to hear his own heartbeat, and the sense of existence of the heart suddenly became extremely strong, and it throbbed in the empty chest cavity, heavy and painful.

"Oda Sakunosuke..."

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Should be dead, but he's still alive."

Cheng watched him tenderly, waiting patiently for his question.

"It was someone's ability that allowed him to deceive the organization in a state of suspended animation."

Akutagawa said.

"Since that person's ability can do such a thing, then—"

"Akutagawa!"

A third voice suddenly sounded, waking up Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

He looked towards the voice, and Zhong Yuan was standing there.

"Don't hurt her."

He probably came in a hurry, frowned, pressed his hat, and added.

"This is also one of the conditions for cooperating with Valia... Let's cancel the ability, Akutagawa."

The arrival of the third person made Akutagawa Ryunosuke become cold and reticent again. As he turned around, Rashomon was also taken back by him. Cheng rubbed his wrist, and the dark color had already appeared, and it would probably become darker in the near future. Looking at Akutagawa's back with bruised and purple bruises, he also understood that this is not a good time to continue the topic.

"It's really troublesome... The tasks of getting involved with women in the past few years are very annoying types."

Nakahara Zhong also muttered in dissatisfaction, but he still extended his hand to the troublesome task target in his mouth. Cheng nodded slightly in thanks, and stood up with his hand.

"I think you should know why Valya traded you, so..."

Nakahara Chuya originally wanted her to be more honest, but for some reason, when facing the face of the other party listening carefully, it became difficult to say rude words.

Cheng blinked at his strange pause.

"Ok?"

"In short, it's useless to resist, that's the reality."

"Yeah, I understand." After responding casually, Cheng guessed in a very ordinary tone, "Mr. Zhongyuan's organization has cooperated with Valia? Does Valia want to compete for Pengo Li's heir qualification?"

"..."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for a while, and then said.

"It's not allowed to talk, from now on."

Soon, though, he found that he didn't have to worry about the slightly uncomfortable situation any longer.

"Akutagawa, here we come."

Another member of Hong Kong Black looked down at the crowds outside the building that were gathering here.

"I'll stay."

"it is good."

Zhong Yuanzhong also readily agreed to such an arrangement.

"Let's go."

He stretched out his hand to Cheng for the second time, Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally judged that her resistance was really insignificant at the moment, so she tentatively held her hand...

Zhongyuan Zhong also grabbed her wrist, and roughly pulled her in his direction, taking advantage of the situation to lift the whole person up when the opponent turned upside down.

There is no sense of weight...

"gone."

# # #

Bell and Skylark were the first two to arrive.

Standing in front of them was only the hostile Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and when Hibari judged the situation, Bell had already moved first.

Akutagawa also launched an attack without hesitation at this time, and Hibari drew out his weapon to meet him, but the dark monster's pursuit only targeted Hilari, and Bell, who belonged to Valia, passed him without being blocked.

"The prince is different from you." Bell stopped for a while on the upward stairs, shook the communication device in his hand, and smiled at Skylark, "Goodbye."

When Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others arrived, what they saw was the scene of Hibari fighting Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

"Where's Miss Cheng?"

"above."

Skylark replied, jumping back to avoid the ferocious impalement.

Tsuna looked up at the gray roof.

"Time is running out," Reborn said. "Private jets with unknown purposes have entered the confines."

Oda Sakunosuke took a few steps forward and coughed lightly.

"Go, Sawada-kun."

"But……!"

"Mr. Oda, you used to be very famous in our industry." Reborn looked at him and said, "It just disappeared like a shooting star very quickly, so it took a lot of time to confirm your information."

"I don't like people talking about my past very much."

Oda Sakunosuke looked away lightly.

"However, I can assure you that I am a trustworthy person—now I just want to help Miss Cheng."

"I think Oda-san is someone you can trust."

Said Tsunayoshi Sawada.

"...Thank you, Sawada-kun." Oda Saku smiled at him, "Then, please act according to my instructions."

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, Oda Saku entered the battle between Hibari and Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

It was obviously a chaotic battle situation, but the arrival of Oda Saku easily and unscathed inserted into the gap between the two of them fighting. After a few short gunshots, Akutagawa's ability restrained to a faint guard posture, and Hibari also retreated. Be wary of the third person.

But that only lasts until Akutagawa recognizes someone.

"Oda... Sakunosuke!"

"it's me."

Odasaku approached him calmly.

"Although we don't have any deep friendship...but it seems better to say it's been a while, Akutagawa-kun."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's attention was completely attracted, and his eyes locked on the man in front of him.

"You're looking for me, aren't you?"

Odasaku said, putting his finger on the trigger.

"I've heard...from Dazai."

The name made Akutagawa lose his rationality in an instant, and Rashomon frantically rushed towards Odasaku.

Odasaku pulled the trigger at this moment, but not at anyone.

After receiving the order, Tsunayoshi Sawada acted in death mode and broke through Ryunosuke Akutagawa's line of defense.

"!!"

hateful.

Akutagawa was about to give chase, but Oda Sakunosuke's voice sounded again.

"Akutagawa-kun," he said, "what do you want to know from me?"

"I'll tell you."

# # #

"Now, give her to the prince."

Zhong Yuan Zhong also looked at the blond boy, and blocked Cheng behind him without any trace.

"Sorry, you are not Valia's designated handover."

"But, if I hand it over to those guys, Cheng won't be mine alone."

Belphegor said distressedly.

"Then kill you first..."

"Let me negotiate."

Cheng said softly, and walked out from behind Chuya Nakahara.

"Bell, you are no longer a child." She smiled, "I am very happy to meet you again."

"really?"

Belphegor's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Then let's get out of here...you'll be with me forever this time, right?"

Cheng didn't answer, showing a slightly troubled look.

"I know." Bell said, "Cheng, you haven't lied to me."

The dagger slipped lightly into his hand, but just as Belphegor was gripping it, he heard the roar of the propeller blades.

Bell raised his head, the approaching cyclone lifted his forehead hair, and he cast his eyes on Cheng.

"Cheng, have you ever lied to anyone like that, that you will always be with someone?"

"I……"

never had.

Cheng wanted to tell him so.

But just as she was about to speak, some images flashed through her mind.

Too fast, she didn't have time to catch those blurred shadows.

However, Bell had no time to wait for her answer.

"The pursuers are also coming."

Zhongyuan Zhong also said.

"You delay the annoying guy, the prince takes Cheng away..." Bell pointed to the sky, "join the Valian troops above. Then your mission will be over."

"Okay." Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded, "That's it."

When Tsunayoshi Sawada and others arrived, the hovering helicopter slowly descended the rope ladder.

Bell hugged Cheng and jumped up the rope ladder, but changed his mind when he saw the skylark in the crowd.

"You go first, Cheng."

Bell threw the weapon, and before Cheng could react, the piano wire tied to the end of the dagger had already entangled her with the rope ladder.

"Sure enough, the prince must kill that person first." He quickly jumped back to the ground and waved to Cheng, "Cheng, wait for me to come back!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi ignited the fire of death energy without any hesitation, and the powerful propulsion force quickly shortened the distance between him and the rope ladder, but soon someone blocked his way.

Zhong Yuanzhong also manipulated the gravity to float in the air. Only in the first round of the fight, Gang Ji felt the strength and difficulty of the opponent.

"I don't want to attack the kid." Nakahara Chuya said, "Give up, you can't break through my level."

When Tsunayoshi Sawada was in trouble, another kind of uneasiness suddenly hit him. The next second, a bright flame drew an arc in the air with smoke tails, and hit the upper part of the rope ladder accurately.

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned his head abruptly.

"□□!"

The rope ladder, which had been left a considerable distance from the ground, shook violently, but its superior strength material kept it from breaking.

However, for relatively fragile piano wires, this level of impact is enough.

Under such an accident, Cheng tried his best to reach out, but failed to hold the rope.

She fell.

# # #

"Yes, Miss Cheng is the one who gave me a second life." Oda said, "However, even she herself believes that her healing ability is not enough to heal fatal wounds. What happened to me , probably just a miraculous coincidence."

Finally, he expressed his judgment.

"Besides, at that time, Cheng was facing a more dangerous predicament than me. In the past few years, I really couldn't think of what method she would use to escape from such a desperate situation..."

"enough."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke interrupted him coldly.

Oda Sakunosuke stopped, he stared at the other person, but saw no trace of despair or anger on his face.

"I don't think she survived that incident."

Oda Sakunosuke said slowly.

"As for Dazai, he has completely opposite ideas to mine." He said, "No matter how you look at it, his insistence is divorced from reality... But until recently, I didn't realize that I was unconsciously I have already been influenced by Dazai. I also began to unconsciously look for Miss Cheng's shadow."

Odasaku smiled lightly.

"Maybe just a little bit, but maybe in my heart I want to believe that too."

- "You're like me too, aren't you?"

"Akutagawa-kun."

"You still believe that Miss Cheng is still alive, because Dazai believes so firmly."

"After all, that person is Cheng, and he is Osamu Dazai."

# # #

Tsuna rushed towards the direction where Cheng fell, but the distance between him and Cheng was still too far, and Nakahara was one step faster than him, and before it was impossible to recover, he pulled the distance into the radius within which his ability could work.

The ability to manipulate gravity fell on Cheng, and not far from the ground, her fall suddenly slowed down, but a new accident followed.

The hem of the light-colored windbreaker fluttered lightly, and Cheng fell into someone's arms.

"Miss Cheng!"

"It doesn't matter, it's an alliance."

Reborn said to Tsunayoshi Sawada.

"Now, buy them time."

The young man jumped down from the edge of the building with her in his arms, probably very satisfied with the fact that he had successfully put everyone together, his eyes and brows were all smiling.

"I'm sorry for using such a rough method, but it's more important to look at the stunned face. In fact, it doesn't matter if you get injured. We also have very powerful doctors here..."

The hook rope popped out of his sleeve, and the claws firmly grasped the edge of the building, and the two were dragged into another building together.

The black-haired young man in a windbreaker protected each other with his body, but they still inevitably rolled a few times in the dust.

"However, if you still insist on pursuing the responsibility, Miss, I will have no choice but to apologize with death..."

Osamu Dazai propped his body up on the ground, and his eyes met the opponent in an instant.

For a moment, Osamu Dazai completely lost his voice.

Whether he had ever imagined such a moment, even he did not know.

When he was awake, his reason prevented him from having such fantasies. The reason may be some strange and deep fear. people.

Sometimes, he is more afraid that it is just an illusion, not the light.

But when his consciousness is actually immersed in the dark... like falling into a deep sleep, or having had a few near-death experiences over the years, he's not sure if he's ever had such a dream.

Could it be a dream now?

He stared blankly at the eyes below him until the other's hand touched his cheek.

With the light behind him, Cheng couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

But she felt the trajectory of a tear from there.

"Don't cry."

She didn't know who the other party was, or why she said that, she could only feel the tears making her fingertips hot.

It is the ashes of a star shattered in a night so far forgotten, wandering to this day, this moment.

Finally, it fell into her heart.

"It's all right."
