When he returned to the Supernatural Secret Service Section, what Ango Sakaguchi saw was still the base under martial law. In order to ensure the safety of the pages, the defense of the entire Secret Service Section had been upgraded several levels. He reached out and pushed his glasses, and Ango Sakaguchi walked towards the place where Chief Taneda was. place.

Zhong Tian has been spinning around the pages of the book, trying to find a way to round out the story without causing trouble for everyone.

Walking into the isolated room, Ango Sakaguchi saw Taneda and an old man in a brown coat next to him. That was Natsume Soseki. He was talking to Taneda in a low voice, and seemed to be discussing how to deal with this matter. There were messy papers next to him. This is their continuation of the story. In order to avoid problems, they dare not write the story on it before fully considering the consequences.

Ango Sakaguchi knocked on the door, his voice was a little soft, "Sir, it's over, but I have something to tell you."

"Come in." Zhong Tian let him in, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be taboo, just tell me if you have anything to report."

Ango Sakaguchi handed a box to Taneda, Taneda froze for a moment, he looked at the box in Ango Sakaguchi's hand, "What is this?"

"It's...the prisoner who has been running around."

"Prisoner?" Taneda was even more puzzled. He opened the box. The box was empty, with only a little ashes. It looked like a page had been burnt to ashes. Taneda glanced at the box and then at Ango Sakaguchi, "Sakaguchi, this what's going on?"

Ango Sakaguchi paused, and he spoke after a while, "This prisoner wanted to hurt a person, and when he came into contact with this person, he was suddenly burnt to ashes by the flames, that's what's in the box now."

Obviously heard the voice of Ango Sakaguchi, Taneda frowned slightly, "Want to hurt someone? Who?"

"Asayu Wenren."

"Who are you talking about? That kid named Asaba?" Natsume Soseki walked over and took the box from Taneda. He looked at the ashes inside and frowned slightly. "Your name is Sakaguchi? Tell me, what happened?"

Ango Sakaguchi told them what happened before as clearly as possible, including the different Onto Asaba seen in the special ability.

After realizing the problem, Ango Sakaguchi couldn't hide it at all. This matter was not just Asaba Onto's problem alone, so he didn't hide anything at all.

"You mean that person attacked Asagi, and then ignited himself, and then burned into ashes the size of a piece of paper?" Taneda looked at the box, "How could it be? That's the villain who resurrected the book, how could such a situation happen? There is no way for the supernatural power to affect the book."

Natsume Soseki looked at Sakaguchi Ango, "Has something like this happened before?"

"Before..." Ango Sakaguchi frowned slightly, "Four years ago, after Onto Asaba defected, I tried to use supernatural powers to detect the memory left on the object. At that time, this kind of thing happened. At that time, I just thought that I There is a problem with the ability..."

For example, it was affected by Onto Asaba's ability.

But thinking about it now, it seems that it's not Asaba Onto who can influence supernatural powers, but that he himself is special, so special that even books can compete.

"Not quite right." Taneda thought for a while, then he looked to the side, "Natsume-sensei, what do you think?"

"It's really not right." Natsume Soseki turned to look at the page, and the white light lingered around the page. He placed the box in his hand next to the page. In the next moment, in the surprised eyes of the three people, the piece of ashes slowed down. floating up, and finally dissolving in the air.

Natsume Soseki looked at the pages of the book, "This is indeed the villain who resurrected the book, so that boy really has the ability to target the book?"

"But Wenren is just a doctor." Ango Sakaguchi clenched his hands tightly, trying to calm his beating heart, but the more he did so, his heart beat harder. "When I met him, he was only a teenager. His identity and experience are very clear, he doesn't look like a mysterious person at all."

Natsume Soseki knew better than Sakaguchi Ango, after all, he followed that boy for a week when Onto Asaba defected.

He has a heartbeat, a body temperature, and his own thoughts. He is a fully qualified human being. Although he has shown impressive abilities during his escape, as well as the supernatural ability "Nirvana" that can bring people back to life, Natsume Soseki has always felt that Asaba Wen Ren is just a young man with a little more ability.

The future can be expected, this is Natsume Soseki's only impression of Onto Asaba.

"So, Sakaguchi, did that Asaba-kun show any surprise after this happened?"

Ango Sakaguchi: ...

"Sakaguchi?" Taneda asked again.

Ango Sakaguchi lowered his head, his voice was a little soft, "No."

Yes, not at all.

Asaba Onto's expression was calm from beginning to end. He calmly looked at the prisoner, calmly watched the man attacking him, and calmly watched him turn into ashes.

Thinking about it now, Onto Asaba's calmness seems to be too ordinary. He is a doctor. Even if that person came back from the dead, but a living person was reduced to ashes in front of him, Onto Asaba felt nothing at all. , This is not the Sacred Heart of the doctor at all.

this is not right

"No surprise, that means he knew something like this would happen." Taneda thought for a while, "Mr. Natsume, shall we test this young man?"

"How to test?" Natsume Soseki glanced at Taneda, "If Onto Asaba really has the power to influence books, then for him, we are just dispensable things, if he is just a simple expression What about missing?"

Taneda smiled, "Natsume-sensei is fine, I helped Asaba-kun, and he still owes me a question."

Ango Sakaguchi raised his head, and the next moment he remembered what happened two years ago, "It was the time you told him where Dazai was going to work in the future?!"

"That's right." Zhongtian nodded, "At that time I reserved the right to ask questions, but I didn't expect it to be used in this kind of place. It's a coincidence. Maybe this is the way this world is. If you give something, you will get more. "

"Sakaguchi, now you go, go to the detective agency, meet with Onto Asaba alone under the name of entrustment, and then ask him a question."

Ango Sakaguchi looked at Taneda, "What's the problem?"

"You asked him if it was a book."

Ango Sakaguchi was stunned, and even Natsume Soseki was stunned for a moment. He looked at Naneda in surprise, as if he didn't expect Naneda to diverge his thinking to such an extent.

"You guys think it's incredible?" Zhongtian sighed, "Actually, I noticed something before, and there was something wrong with the book."

"Book? Something wrong?"

Gengtian nodded very seriously, "In the past, the book would occasionally fluctuate, as if guiding humans to discover it, and it was because of these fluctuations that the Secret Service Department determined the location of the book. However, the book has not Nothing like it has happened before."

Natsume Soseki thought for a while, "Indeed, apart from maintaining the same mystery as before, the book does not give people any hints similar to direction signs."

"...I went to investigate the period of time when the book no longer fluctuated, which happened to be the year when Onto Asaba appeared in Yokohama." Taneda narrowed his eyes slightly, "So you see, my suspicion is not what I imagined Then there is no basis in fact.”

So Ango Sakaguchi set off with a suspicious expression on his face, and he was so flustered.

What?The farming chief asked him to ask Asaba Onto if he was a book?

What?Onto Asaba may be a book?

how could be?Asaba Wenren is obviously... obviously an ordinary person.

Able to feel how much moisture he was referring to as an ordinary person, Ango Sakaguchi gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to go to the Armed Detective Agency in one breath, but when he saw the gate of the Armed Detective Agency, he faltered.

Ango Sakaguchi is afraid of Onto Asaba, and Ango Sakaguchi doesn't understand this fear that he doesn't want to face, but Ango Sakaguchi is a very open person, as if he knows that Onto Asaba will make him Feeling scared, but at the same time, he also knows that Onto Asaba is a good person in the eyes of the public.

So he is willing to use the identity of a good person in the eyes of the public to cover up the fact that he is afraid. Fear is his business, and being loved by everyone is the true state of Onto Asaba.

"Ango?"

Ango Sakaguchi trembled in fright, he turned his head suddenly, Dazai Osamu stood behind him and looked at him strangely, not only Dazai Osamu, but several people from the detective agency also went upstairs one after another.

What?Are none of the detective agency investigators in the detective agency?

"Well, Wenren..." Ango Sakaguchi explained his reason for coming.

"Wenren didn't come to work today." Osamu Dazai looked at him, and after a while he frowned slightly, "What happened? It has something to do with Wenren?"

Ango Sakaguchi nodded seriously, "It's a very important matter."

"You come with me."

Osamu Dazai pulled Ango Sakaguchi directly downstairs, Kunikida Doppo blinked, "Hey, Dazai, you seem to have said that you want that boy to join the detective agency, right? There is no entrance test yet..."

"You guys discuss it, I'll go to Wenren first."

Watching Dazai Osamu disappear into the stairs, Kunikida Doppo voiced doubts, "What happened to Wenren? Dazai was still very excited during the day today, and even skipped work to find Wenren for a meal."

"Let's postpone the entrance test for now, and wait until Dazai returns."

"Is it okay to let that boy sleep directly in the dormitory, Mr. Ranpo?"

"Well, it's okay." Edogawa walked into the detective agency in disorder, "It was Ango Sakaguchi from the Supernatural Secret Service Division who came here just now, right? A warm man from the Supernatural Secret Service Division...isn't it?"

Edogawa Ranpo frowned slightly. After a while, he returned to his seat and took out the book with the cover stuck. After staring at it for a while, he scraped off the white paper with a knife, and quickly He saw the title of the book and the name of the author.

"Ghost of the Lonely Island", author: Ranpo Edogawa.

……

Osamu Dazai didn't say a word, just took Ango Sakaguchi to walk in one direction. It was already late, and when they arrived at the destination, bright stars could be seen in the sky. Osamu Dazai took him to Asaba Onto s home.

Yes, Ango Sakaguchi knew where Onto Asaba's home was, and the Supernatural Secret Service Division had collected information.

Taking out the key to open the door, Osamu Dazai pushed the door open. The room was pitch black except for the TV emitting a little light. Osamu Dazai pressed the switch at the door, and with a click, the incandescent lamp suddenly lit up. Ango Sakaguchi closed his eyes subconsciously, and then When I opened it, I saw Onto Asaba sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Welcome over here." Onto Asaba looked at Osamu Dazai, "Is the task difficult? You are half an hour late today."

"Because that boy can only lose control at night, so I waited until he lost control and turned into a tiger before completing the commission." Dazai Osamu walked over, and he sat next to Asaba Onto, with a little imperceptible coquettish meaning in his voice , "Wenren, you didn't go to work today, it's boring for me to do commissions by myself."

Asaba Onto patted his fluffy hair, then stuffed the pillow beside him into Dazai Osamu's arms for him to hold.

"Ango, good evening."

"Good evening." Sakaguchi Ango responded subconsciously, and then he swallowed as if he had reacted.

"Would you like some water?" Onto Asaba stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Coffee is fine too."

"That's my coffee!" Osamu Dazai shouted unhappily, "Wenren, you said you bought it for me, don't give it to others!"

Ango Sakaguchi looked at Onto Asaba, and then he blinked at Osamu Dazai, "You two...?"

"Ango doesn't drink coffee!" Osamu Dazai said while hugging his pillow.

Realizing that he was being ignored by Osamu Dazai again, Ango Sakaguchi looked around, found a place to sit down, and waited honestly for the two people in front of him to finish talking. After 10 minutes, Ango Sakaguchi stared at the cup in front of him. Steaming coffee in deep thought.

If Onto Asaba is really a book, isn't this the coffee made for him by the book...

"So Ango, what are you here for? You are still working overtime in the middle of the night, and it seems that the chaos in the Supernatural Secret Service Division is bigger than expected." Dazai Osamu also took a sip of a cup of coffee.

"Ah... that's right." Ango Sakaguchi lowered his head, "I came here this time to warm people up."

"So what's the matter?"

Ango Sakaguchi raised his head, "Wenren, do you still remember two years ago? You went to the farming chief to ask where Osamu Dazai was going. At that time, you told the farming chief that you could owe him a question. Later, he wanted to ask You can't say no when you have a question."

"Is there such a thing?" Dazai Osamu was stunned for a moment, "Have you gone to the Supernatural Secret Service Division to find my position?"

"After all, although I know Dazai will come back, I'm not sure where it will be." Onto Asaba admitted very easily, his voice was still gentle and calm, as if it didn't cause him any psychological pressure.

But this put a lot of pressure on Ango Sakaguchi. He even had an idea of ​​whether it would be better if the Wen people said that this incident hadn't happened.

"Mr. Tanada asked me to ask a question for you." Ango Sakaguchi's eyes drifted slightly.

"what?"

"The farming chief asked you: Are you a book?"

The whole room fell into a strangely quiet atmosphere, and Osamu Dazai put the coffee cup back on the table to prevent himself from knocking the cup accidentally.

Book?How could it be a book?

So far, Osamu Dazai has only one impression of the book: the universal wishing machine.

As long as you write a complete story, the story will become a reality. This is a treasure that has no self-protection ability at all. Too many abilities and too few conditions make this thing extremely difficult, and the special agent department must protect it. Books are not used by others, and at the same time, we must ensure that our own people are not bewitched by the power of books.

This setting is in extreme contrast with Wen Ren, so how can Wen Ren be a book?

However, what would Onto be if he wasn't a book? So far, Osamu Dazai only knows the fact that Asaba Onto is not a person.

An unknown person who is not a human being but possesses abilities beyond most, how could he not be a book.

"Book? Are you talking about the wishing book?" Onto Asaba suddenly asked.

Ango Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment, he looked at Onto Asaba, "...so you are not a book?"

"Of course not, I don't have the ability to make wishes." Onto Asaba calmly denied, "Books represent rules, but I am not rules."

"Then you are..."

Qian Yu Wenren tilted her head, her green eyes lost the gentleness of the past at this moment, only a shallow smile that penetrated deep into her eyes remained.

"I am broken."

……

Poli: put it to death and live later.

If books exist as the rules of this world, then Wenren exists as the opposite of books. He is the foundation of the world, the death of the world, and another way different from stability.

Unlike "books", Onto Asaba will only appear when the world is in turmoil. He often pretends to be a person, blends into the crowd, and guides humans to constantly overthrow the old rules and establish new ones. He once raised his arms He was also the leader of the crowd who shouted to change everything, or the pioneer who died generously.

This is the change of the rules, that is, humans who choose another path.

Stepping on the old road and stepping on the new road, this is the reason for the existence of Onto Asaba.

"Book" is his friend and the only thing he can communicate with. Onto Asaba leans against the white wall without saying a word. He often sits here and looks at the world like this.

It’s not necessarily true that they are friends. They are at the same level, but the different meanings they represent make their own images different. Asaba Onto can transform into a human appearance, and books can only be books. As a rule Center, the book cannot be changed.

"It's such a pity, you can't change it." Onto Asaba sighed softly for an unknown number of times.

Shu didn't say a word, as if he didn't want to talk to him.

"What will it look like if even the main rules are changed?" Asayu Onto muttered to himself, his voice was a little hoarse, but it was this hoarse voice that made him look extraordinarily strange, "The supernatural ability no longer exists, Books are no longer necessary, and the world has stepped up to another level, isn't this worth looking forward to?"

"If changed to this state, neither you nor I would exist."

"Ah, that's true." Asayu Onto nodded slightly, he stood up and looked at the world, different from the indifference on the outside, there was hot enthusiasm in the depths of his eyes.

He liked the world, no doubt about it.

"Rules are the main body of the world. If the rules are shattered, the world will no longer be the original world, and we will no longer be the original us. Although you are broken, you can't challenge these. This is nothing to you. any benefit."

"I know, I've always known." Onto Asaba closed his eyes, and his voice was as flat as ever, "However, the future is uncertain, and even you can't completely predict the future. Rules are always broken and perfected. No one can think that the current rules are the most perfect.”

"You don't have to be the best."

"Only by constant trial and error, will you know which is the best. That's why there are so many conflicts and chaos in this world. It's for the attempt of a new path." Asahan Onto's voice is not loud, not even What ups and downs, like a sick and weak patient, the voice is a little weak.

"So I don't think the current rules are the best rules, and the current us is the best us."

"You are too extreme."

"Really?" Onto Asaba looked straight ahead, and didn't seem to care much about this sentence, "Extreme means the best, and in a sense, it's a compliment."

"Prudence is not a bad thing."

"You mean that extreme people tend to be less cautious?"

In this kind of discussion, they basically can't convince anyone, because the things that shape them are in opposition, and it is not easy to find a balance in the opposition.

But just like the book says, Onto Asaba is really too extreme. His extremeness lies in his nature, his persistence in change, and his confidence in change.

When the book found out again that Onto Asaba seemed to want to do something, it was irreparable, and he chose to change himself.

Put aside all abilities, don't break up your identity, even throw away all your memories, just for the name of an illusory change.

Compared with Poli, Onto Asaba seems to be more like the embodiment of extremes.

"Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course." Asaba Onto said in a gentle voice, "I don't think I am the best me now, how will I know if I don't try, if I can really change for this, then it means that in In this world, even you and I can have other paths."

"Ideals, rules, future, order, disorder, you just chose the side of disorder."

"Disorder means surprise, and it means surprise."

"If you insist on doing this, you will lose everything you have in your hands. Is that okay?"

"That's how it was. I will close my memory and abilities, and become a fully human being, looking for an opportunity to change myself." He turned around, and his body shrank a little bit until he looked like a young man. He said, "I've already Foresaw his own success."

The book silently looked at the back of Onto Asaba, and finally he said the last sentence slowly, he said:

"Perhaps it is because of this character that you are destined to be disordered."

It is also doomed that you are broken.

"Poli?" Ango Sakaguchi was stunned for a moment, he was a little unfamiliar with this word, and he didn't even understand the meaning of this word.

Osamu Dazai paused, then stood up and pushed Ango Sakaguchi out, holding a coffee cup, Ango Sakaguchi stared blankly at the heavily closed door, and it took three seconds for him to react and turn to leave.

In the room, Dazai Osamu stared at Asaba Onto, he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know what to say, he wanted to ask Asaba Onto what Poritsu was, and he wanted to ask about his past, but in the end it was Not a word was spoken, and the room was silent.

"What are you thinking about?" Asayu Onto picked up the coffee on the table and handed it to him, "You don't need to think so much."

"Just know that I'm here for you."

"That would be enough."

The author has something to say: "The Decision of Breaking"

Poli = Asayu Wenren

The decision to break the establishment = Onto Asaba's choice = Onto Asaba's change
