[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

"Akutagawa-kun wait for me here first, can you?"

The person being questioned nodded, and Kawasaki Summi, carrying the document bag containing the letter of resignation, turned and walked up the steps. She took a few steps and looked back at Akutagawa.

Today's outside temperature is slightly lower than the day before, but it's not enough to make Cheng feel cold. Compared with herself, she is more worried about the teenagers with her.

Looking from a height, the boy looked even weaker and slender.

Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation he quickly walked down the steps and trotted towards the other party.

Akutagawa was a little surprised watching Cheng come back to him, and took off his scarf.

The female monk with fluffy and slightly curly hair was about the same height as the growing teenager, so she put the scarf on the other party's neck with little effort and quickly tied the knot.

Perhaps it was because Cheng's actions were so natural and determined that Akutagawa Ryunosuke had almost no time to object. He watched all this happen with his eyes wide open, his expression could be called astonished.

The thick and soft beige cashmere scarf has been wrapped around the young and pale chin. His slightly long hair is scattered around the neck, and even the mottled color of the hair tip is softened.

"Before I come out, I can't take it off." Cheng said, "Think about it, Akutagawa-kun, if you get sick because of this and cause all kinds of consequences, it's not only me and you who will be troubled by it, but also Dazai, right? "

...cannot be refuted.

During the conversation, Cheng, who had accurately identified Akutagawa's weakness, took advantage of Dazai's influence and successfully suppressed the resistance.

"And Rashomon's activation carrier has also increased, isn't it great?"

"Not going to do that."

Even if it is theoretically possible, I don't want to manipulate the furry scarf to attack!

I don't know if it's because of embarrassment, Akutagawa always has a little red on his face that is too bloodless.

"Please hurry up!"

"alright."

Akutagawa urged Cheng to leave with somewhat terrifying eyes, until Cheng's rather happy back disappeared from sight.

He reached out to grab the soft fabric on his neck that he was not used to, but he stopped in the middle of the movement, Akutagawa Ryunosuke thought for a while, and slowly withdrew his hand.

Like a bulldog trying to restrain the urge to bite, it restlessly endured.

"Awaited."

Cheng, who successfully resigned on the grounds of moving, has already begun to plan a new life in his heart.

"Next we—"

Cheng suddenly calmed down, and she suddenly had a strange feeling.

The flow of time suddenly becomes extremely slow, and the movement of cars, pedestrians, and surrounding things is almost stagnant.

Kawasaki is no stranger to this experience, having experienced it and benefited from it several times in her past life.Unlike the healing ability, which is tentatively classified as a supernatural ability, Cheng believes that this should belong to the category of human natural talent-it is not that time has really stood still, but an illusion brought about by the high speed of her thinking.

According to Cheng's experience, two conditions are required to trigger this state, one is that one's subconscious has captured some abnormal factor, and the other is that in the process of information processing, the output of this factor reflects the highest level of threat warning.

That is, "life is about to be threatened."

Therefore, this is not a supernatural power, but an information operation used as a crisis buffer.

At this moment, Kawasaki Sumire fell into a kind of almost selfless calm. What she saw and heard after she walked out of the building first passed through her brain frame by frame in an extremely detailed way, like a book that was quickly flipped through. , the books bound in order, after this stage passes, the spine of the book is torn off violently, and the countless pages are spliced, screened, and then deduced and demonstrated in various linear or nonlinear logical sequences.

She got the answer the moment she was ejected from this state.

From the perspective of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the process of changing the attitude of the woman in front of him does not take longer than a second.

Kawasaki Summi gave him a sharp hand.

"Run! Now!"

Although he has not yet understood the reason, Akutagawa, who has far more combat experience than ordinary people, has excellent acuity and execution.

Before this, he had never used Rashomon in a way other than attacking, but at the moment of moving, a strong premonition of danger and a promise to Osamu Dazai flashed alternately, and finally took root in Akutagawa's heart, and the huge obsession overwhelmed him. After destroying everything, the hem of his clothes quickly deformed, and the black animal head opened a huge mouth behind the two of them. At that moment, there was a loud explosion, and most of the impact was swallowed by Rashomon, but the hot air wave still Has the power to knock people down.

Chaos and panic returned to the world with the noise.

Akutagawa struggled to stand up, the smoke made him cough uncontrollably, but the coldness and sharpness in his eyes would not be weakened by it, the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood returned to his body, but a person's capacity is limited Yes, they expel out something else that temporarily resides there...something as light and warm as sunlight.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was not dissatisfied with this.

Nothing calmed him more than a heavy icy cold.

"Get out of here, Miss Cheng." Akutagawa said, and issued an order to evict the intruders in the site, "Don't stay within my attack range."

"It's too late." Cheng Wei sighed, "Mr. Akutagawa, have you noticed that the explosion is just a clearance procedure, and this neighborhood will become a war zone."

She stood up, and in the distance, several black cars were slowly approaching, all of which were heavy and sturdy mafia-specific models with reinforced bulletproof glass.

"If it's to capture a non-combat psychic, why use such a drastic method as explosion, and if it has nothing to do with me, why choose the battlefield here." Cheng said, "Their intention is , use my death as a weapon to start a war and lure the real protagonist to take the bait."

She even smiled a bit.

"The answer is that the stage here is prepared for Osamu Dazai."

"Bingo~"

Osamu Dazai got out of the car, took off his black suit jacket and put it on Cheng's shoulders, and the rest of his subordinates began to move weapons and ammunition in an orderly manner, making the necessary preparations for battle.

He took the two guns handed over by his subordinates and threw one to Akutagawa.

"Mr. Dazai...!"

"It's too bad, Akutagawa-kun, if it wasn't for the fact that Rashomon played a protective role in the final success, I would shoot you now." Osamu Dazai said casually, "So at least in the next battle it will prove that you are not useless Bar."

Ignoring Akutagawa's distorted expression, Dazai looked at Kawasaki Sumina.

"Then, Cheng..."

"I have a question," she said, "why did you determine that this was the location of the attack and not the apartment?"

"This is because……"

Osamu Dazai put the inspected weapon into his arms, and gave Cheng a gentle smile.

"After seeing you traveling with Akutagawa-kun who is my direct subordinate, the other party can confirm that the bait is of sufficient value, after all..."

Snapped--

The scene suddenly quieted down.

"is it okay?"

Osamu Dazai, who was beaten to the side, responded to his lover's slightly belated request for permission.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

He continued to finish what had been interrupted.

"After all, I am, that Dazai Osamu."
