She decided to confess to him

81

-Just one more step back and I'll fall and end this misery.

-Maybe you will persuade me, just keep going, what's wrong with it?

- But, it's so painful, I can't bear it anymore...

Here's the thing.At this moment, the man named Osamu Dazai was sitting slumped on the workstation, a video was playing silently on the computer screen in front of him.And the above are the words that Dazai deciphered through the lips of the protagonist in the video.

To explain why this scene happened, we have to start with the company he worked in, the Armed Detective Agency.

The Armed Detective Agency is a group organization of supernatural beings responsible for handling various commissions from the military or civilians. The number of commissions accepted at different times of the year varies.Having just passed the busy peak period of commissioning, the detectives have a leisurely time.

For example, Osamu Dazai, after passing the work report to his junior Atsushi Nakajima, he was so idle that he almost shook his legs.

He wanted to sneak out for a drink, but the report (Dun Jun) hadn't finished yet, and the workaholic colleague sitting across from him was staring at him again.That being the case, I had no choice but to fish at the workstation.

I casually clicked on a very popular new video, and what caught my eye was a beautiful girl who was probing on the edge of jumping off a cliff.

suicide.girl.

—— Osamu Dazai, who was perfectly hit by the keyword, decided to watch this video.

82

"interesting."

If it is said that Dazai's mood was calm as expected when he saw "jumping off a cliff to commit suicide or something, of course this lady lied to you" for the first time, then rewatching it the second time, Dazai's eyes became sharper.

In the end, looking at the frame of [Imai Sumiya presenting on the cliff of xx], Dazai came to the conclusion of "somewhat interesting".

And... the scenery of this mountain is good, next time you go there, try jumping off a cliff to commit suicide?

83

Imai Sumiya himself probably didn't know that her video had such an Amway effect.

84

"Dun Jun, take a look at this."

As soon as Atsushi Nakajima handed in Osamu Dazai's work report, he was called over.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help but put on the earphones for Atsushi, and dragged the progress bar of the suicide video by jumping off a cliff back to the beginning.Then I watched the whole process of Dun's expression from worried and nervous to anxious and frightened to stunned.

"How does it feel?" Dazai asked.

"It's too dangerous!" said the upright and well-behaved junior.

"Apart from this?"

"It's a little too much... and I don't agree with the behavior of risking my life to make this kind of video..." Atsushi Nakajima recalled his time in the orphanage, and he had to work hard to survive.

"Before she revealed the mystery, didn't Dun Jun see any flaws?"

Dun replied shyly, "That...she acted too realistically."

"I opened the barrage to show you." Osamu Dazai said.

"..."

He replied honestly, "I didn't bother to read it at all. I only saw the word liar, but I ignored it subconsciously."

"Why did you ignore it?"

"I do not know either."

"It's more interesting."

Osamu Dazai gave Imai Sumiya a higher rating.

85

Then, Dazai made cruel teases to the people in the office through the video.

First of all, I said nervously to my colleagues, "Oh, I found out that someone is going to commit suicide on the Internet!", and then admired their wonderful expressions of being deceived while watching the video, and then let out a rather unbeatable laugh.

Fortunately, Kunikida Doppo is not here, otherwise Dazai might not be able to escape his partner's beating.

86

In the end, Dazai even called Ranpo Edogawa, a god-level detective from the Armed Detective Agency, to watch this prank suicide video.

Surprisingly, Mr. Ranpo, who was supposed to solve the mystery as soon as he saw the video, was stunned for a moment.

"Has Mr. Ranpo been tricked?"

"Barely considered a brilliant deception."

This is the admission.

It is rare in the world to be able to deceive Mr. Ranpo.

On the one hand, of course, it is because the girl's will to live is far lower than the will to die, her eyes are empty and lifeless, and her mind and body are repeatedly tempted on the edge of the cliff.

On the other hand, is the amazing emotional appeal.

As the nemesis of all supernatural powers in the world, Osamu Dazai, who is ultimately anti-supernatural powers, will not even feel that someone has activated supernatural powers on him.

He touched his chin: "I seem to understand what's going on."

Dazai clicked the "follow" button for a certain up master for the first time. It's hard to say what kind of mentality he came from, but there must be a lot of affection.

87

Although he paid attention to the up master "Imai Sumiya", Dazai did not devote too much energy, and sometimes even forgot his account password.

So one afternoon, when he was drinking on Bar Street, he naturally didn't recognize the passers-by on the street.

——Does it look familiar?Where have you seen it?

—Forget it, most of the beautiful ladies are familiar.

Osamu Dazai put down his glass and continued to enjoy his celibate afternoon.

88

When I saw Imai Sumiya's video again, she had already sent it to the beach to dress up.

The ever-changing magical style made Dazai forget why he followed her for a while, until he saw the so-called "apology video" on her homepage.

"It's different." Dazai didn't know whether it was regret, relief, or something else when he didn't see the extremely realistic performance of the beautiful girl committing suicide.

"Are swimsuits only for future boyfriends? Well, I still want to see them."

Dazai muttered, and prepared to turn off the video indifferently.

Before closing it, Dazai clicked a "Like" for her.

The eldest lady is very clever at deception and has superb acting skills. It goes without saying that ordinary people can get physical and mental pleasure when watching her videos.

Even Osamu Dazai, who is against supernatural powers, can feel the ardor and anticipation in her eyes for someone beyond the standard.

Especially when she speaks to the camera, it is strange and easy to substitute.

89

Did you say that you went in on a whim when you passed by that women's clothing store?

Ah, maybe it was influenced by the video of the young lady who committed suicide.The clothes she used to match and change clothes at the seaside are a bit similar to the style of this store, and she can't help turning her feet in.

The two ladies in the store seem to be particularly interested in him?

Dazai felt no admiration when he talked to them, and he had no intention of exploring where this interest came from.

After all, I've said it all, it's just a whim.

90

Sumiya Imai died.Death became a puddle of minced meat.

This is what Dazai heard from his partner Kunikida.

91

After the video of dressing up at the seaside, Dazai did not pay attention to other videos of Imai Sumiya.Because enough is enough.

As long as the four words "Imai Sumiya" are mentioned, Dazai can not only remember her face, but also remember the fire that pierced her soul from her ashen eyes.

enough.

That look, once you see it, you won't forget it.

It was a look written with "future" written all over it.

good girl.

From a certain moment on, the girl who was teetering on the edge of the cliff took a path completely different from that of Osamu Dazai, which made him yearn for it from the bottom of his heart.

Who made her have such eyes?

Enviable guy.

92

Hearing the news of Imai Sumiya's death, Dazai instantly recalled the day he met her in the tavern.

If he had known that she was going to that concert, would he have kept her here, or would he have sternly rejected Kunikida's arrangement and gone to the opposite location?

Maybe it will.

93

No, this damn curiosity.

If that afternoon was repeated, Dazai would definitely keep Sumiya Imai.

Just ask, how did you do it?

Give up suicide, love life, and look forward to the future.Full of energy.

How did you do it?

But he never got the answer.

94

that's too regretful.

I haven't gotten to know each other well in my life.

If he is lucky enough to meet that Miss Imai in his next life, Osamu Dazai must ask her to stop so that he can understand.
