[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

Osamu Dazai doesn't talk to Cheng too much about work, except for those that he thinks are light and interesting and irrelevant.

After he took over the case of the disappearance of the intelligence agent, he spent a few days on this investigation. During this period, he never mentioned any details and content of the work with Kawasaki Cheng, which made Cheng also feel that this incident may be is unfolding in a less optimistic fashion.

Dazai came back in the middle of the night yesterday, and when Cheng woke up, he had already woken up from a short rest, fully dressed, and looked like he was about to go out.

"Are you going?"

"Well, there are almost clues to the location of the enemy's main force's stronghold, and the matter should be coming to an end soon."

"Then, protect yourself well."

Cheng's voice was sleepy and soft, and Dazai's movement of straightening his collar stopped unconsciously.

"A Cheng."

"What's the matter!"

Kawasaki Summi let out a short scream, most of the drowsiness disappeared at once, and Dazai Osamu, who suddenly jumped onto the bed like a big black bird, had already knelt down in front of her, lowered his body and kissed her side face.

"When work is over, let's go on a trip, just the two of us."

"Okay."

she says.

"If all goes well, we will finalize the itinerary next week, and we can go on a trip by the end of the month."

After receiving Cheng's reply, Dazai Osamu's smoky crystal-clear eyes showed undisguised joy.

"By the way, I remember Ah Cheng plans to give himself a vacation today, right? What are the arrangements?"

"Arrangement..."

Kawasaki Sumori pointed to the package that was placed on the bedside after receiving it yesterday, which contained a stuffed rabbit.

In fact, on the day that Oda Sakunosuke brought the children to visit, the discount for children had expired for three days, and there were not many dolls left as gifts—to be precise, there happened to be four in stock, and the weaving There are five children adopted by Tian Zuo.

The scene of the quarrel that Oda Saku imagined did not appear, because instead, Saku Le, who is usually the most squeamish and crying, gave in.

"Will Miss Cheng come to see me?"

When Cheng told her that he would order an additional rabbit doll for her and give it to her in the future, the little girl held Cheng's finger and said so.

"It doesn't matter if you don't bring a doll, as long as you have Miss Cheng!"

Probably no one can refuse such a request from a child.Therefore, Cheng originally decided to bring the rabbit doll to Saku Le today, and give himself a day off by the way.

She had previously sent a message to Oda Tsukuru as the guardian, expressing her desire to visit, but she speculated that the other party might be busy with odd jobs again, and had not received a reply.

"I was going to bring a gift to Sakule from Oda-san's house, but if there is no address..."

"Oda? Sakuru?" Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Oda Sakunosuke?"

Cheng couldn't help being surprised too.

"Do you know each other?"

"It's a long story, but Odasaku is my friend, and those children are now in the shelter I arranged because they were involved in the incident... Wait, maybe this is a good idea .”

Dazai thought for a while.

"To tell you the truth, my subordinates and I are going to launch an attack next, and there may not be much spare power to ensure your safety... So, let me send you there."

He looked up and made a decision.

"That is a secret refuge that cannot be known at the level below the cadres. It is not a bad thing for you to go there."

The place of refuge that Dazai was looking for was the import licensing office that had business dealings with the organization. This blue building stood peacefully and old in a sparsely populated seaside area, with an abandoned public parking lot next to it.

Seeing her from the window sill from afar, Saki Le let out a joyful exclamation, and immediately started running downstairs.

"In order to prevent children from seeing..."

Osamu Dazai kisses Sumiya goodbye as the little girl descends the stairs, their hair tangled in the sea breeze.

"When we meet next time, let's talk about the trip."

After seeing off Dazai's car, Cheng Mu took Saku Le's hand, the little girl hugged the rabbit, and seemed to love her new toy very much.

"Little Saki, what are you guys doing?"

"Let's think about it... Kosuke and Katsumi are playing chess, Yu is playing darts, and Shinji is drawing."

"What does Sakuro want to do now?"

The little girl said happily, "I want to stay with Miss Cheng."

"Okay." Cheng laughed, "Let's go for a walk by the beach."

On the way here, Osamu Dazai chatted with her about Oda Sakunosuke. From a few words, Kawasaki Sumiya also generally understood that Oda Saku was closely related to this operation. In addition, she also knew that Oda Sakuno The origins of the adopted children.

They are all orphans who lost their parents in the mafia struggle.

Oda Sakunosuke is a gentler man than Cheng imagined.

Saku Le jumped up and down in front of Cheng.

"Odasaku hasn't been here for a long time."

"Does Sakuru feel lonely?"

"Yeah, yes." She turned her head and said to Cheng, "However, a clumsy man like Odasaku must be working hard outside."

Thinking of Oda Sakunosuke being judged as "clumsy" by an innocent little girl as a grown man, Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"What does Miss Cheng think of Oda Saku?"

"My words..." Cheng thought for a while, "I respect him very much, Mr. Oda is a very remarkable person."

Sakure's eyes lit up.

"So, will Ms. Cheng marry Odasaku in the future?"

"Huh?" She didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, "This... I don't think so."

"Sure enough..."

The little girl was visibly sluggish.

"Saki Le said that he likes both Odasaku and Sumiya-san, so I thought it would be nice if we could stay together forever."

"If you want to say, I like both Sakule and Oda-san." Cheng squatted down and told the lost Sakule seriously, "However, I have found someone I want to spend my life with."

"Is that person better than Odasaku?"

"Hmm... that's not the problem." Cheng said, "If suddenly a man who is richer than Mr. Oda, taller and handsome, and not clumsy at all wants to adopt Sakule, will Sakule be willing to leave with him?"

The girl shook her head vigorously.

"You can't leave Odasaku alone."

"It's the same for me."

Cheng smiled slightly, and she found that she had almost reached the edge, so she walked in the direction Sakule came and went——

She stopped abruptly.

That feeling came suddenly and quickly. She also had this feeling when she first met Akutagawa a year ago, before the explosion.

What Kawasaki Summi entered at this moment was the unique hyper-speed thinking space when the brain issued a warning that "life is about to be threatened".

In a few minutes, the information she obtained from the outside world through various senses was rapidly decomposed into the smallest unit of fragments, and then connected and reassembled. Countless extremely small signals were sifted out by big waves, forming a bright red eye-catching death message.

"Sakule, follow me from now on, try not to make a sound, understand."

Cheng's voice was serious and calm, the little girl sensitively sensed the abnormality in her attitude, and nodded uneasily.

Without wasting any more time, she took Saki Le's hand and ran into the dilapidated garage a few meters away, turned off the lighting, and lowered the door from the inside. She let Saku Le hide behind the most remote car body, and in a slightly outer position.

There was almost no lag, and only a few seconds later, the sound of the engine came from outside. Kawasaki Sumiya stared at the lift door, turned on the phone, quickly entered the text, and sent it to Osamu Dazai. After finishing these, Cheng put his hand into the In his pocket, he held something.

At this time, the visitor also seemed to have discovered that the lift door of the garage was locked from the inside. After half a minute, there was a deafening explosion at the door. At the moment when the smoke rose, Cheng shot at the entrance, and then she heard pain. Huh, but due to concerns that the situation is still unclear, he cautiously did not fire a second shot.

A tall shadow gradually emerged from the smoke and dust, Cheng tensed his nerves, and aimed his gun at him.

That person's face came into Cheng's field of vision.

It was a gray-and-white man, who was obviously strong and straight, but exuded a haggard and dead air all over his body.

The moment he saw him, the danger alarm screamed frantically, and Cheng pulled the trigger continuously, but he couldn't see how he acted, and each shot missed his body.

Now it was the turn of the comers to raise their arms.

"I'm Andre Gide." He said unhurriedly, "There must be a child in there, please come here together."

Saki Le ran out from the corner and threw herself into Cheng's arms, weeping uncontrollably.

"Mr. Gide, can you tell me your purpose?"

Cheng hugged the girl's trembling body tightly.

"As for my purpose, I don't intend to explain too much, you just need to know that I came here to capture these children and sacrifice them to my ideal." He said, "But because you injured my subordinate, so I decided to execute her early."

Gide turned his gun on Sakura——

Then there was a pause.

No one knows how many futures he has seen in his spiritual field in this second.

"It is interesting."

Gide slowly lowered his weapon.

"Ma'am, do you know a man named Sakunosuke Oda? Is this child more important to him than she is to you?"

Cheng didn't make a sound.

A smile appeared on Gide's face as cold as a walking corpse, like a spark rising from the ashes.

"No matter what kind of future it is, you will die before that child. This reminds me that maybe adding a small hope of life to death will be a stronger driving force for Oda Sakunosuke... …so, I changed my mind,.”

Cheng and Saku Le were pushed into the same car, and the driver was Gide himself. At the same time, she saw the figures of other children, and they were pushed into a small green bus. Saku Le also noticed that, regardless of screamed.

"What do you want?" Cheng Cheng tried his best to maintain his composure as the feeling of uneasiness grew stronger, "They are just children, no matter what your plans are, they are worthless..."

"That's not the case." Gide started the engine, "Please watch."

The car they were riding in drove on a road that was different from the bus that the other children were on but paralleled far away. Cheng turned around suddenly, and another minivan chased after the bus like crazy. Cheng could vaguely recognize the shadow of the driver——

If anyone can imagine hell, it's the next scene.

She saw the sudden burst of flames on the bus, and all sounds disappeared in that instant.

Kawasaki Summi almost forgot the existence of her body, and she didn't know if her heart was broken in the pain. She hugged the girl, tried to find her voice, and told her not to look or cry, but she quickly The vulnerable child was found unconscious after witnessing it all.

The noise of this world began to return, and she seemed to hear Oda Sakunosuke's heart-piercing wailing from a distance.

It was strange, at such a distance, it should be impossible for her to hear Odasaku's voice.

Kawasaki Sumina suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Ah, so it is.

——The one who is crying is myself.
