[Wen Ye] Do caged birds dream of butterflies?

Faced with such an invitation, how could anyone refuse? ! ——You instantly overturned the speech you made more than ten seconds ago without any integrity.No, it's not overthrowing, after all, the idea of ​​wanting to live just now was just your own decision.Since Mr. Dazai made the opposite request, it means that it is worthless in the first place, but it is your wrong self-righteousness.

Teacher Dazai is the top priority. If it is his wish, it doesn’t matter whether it is a monster or Tomie, it doesn’t matter if he comes back from the dead—at worst, he jumps into the crater, or seals himself in liquid nitrogen forever!

There is always a way, before you love Mr. Dazai, there is no problem that cannot be solved!

"It's an honor!" You lowered your voice, restraining the joy in your heart, "but...".

"but?"

"Not yet." Even though the voice is almost trembling with joy, somewhere in your consciousness is still clear and calm.

"……why?"

—Because it is not yet time.Watching him, or you who only stared at him, judged like this.

"Because Mr. Dazai is not ready to completely throw himself into the embrace of death."

——He still has something to look for.

——He still has something he has never experienced.

"If at some point, Mr. Dazai really gave up everything, please tell me what you said just now. No, it should be me." You corrected yourself and laughed, "Wait until then Please let me accompany you."

***

After you finished speaking, he didn't make a sound for a long time.After a long while, there was a soft chirp that broke the silence.

"Cut, I lied to you." He put down his hand, and pushed your shoulder with a cold and bored expression, "Who wants to die with the disgusting little Fu Jiang? Wouldn't that become a martyrdom? What do you think?" So beautiful."

"Isn't it good to die for love?" You backed away, let go of the arm that had been propped on the armrest of the sofa, and stood up straight.

Dazai-sensei shouldn't hate martyrdom.

"It's not good to talk to you at all. If it's with the disgusting little Tomie, the cute vocabulary of "sacrificing love" will be tainted. Forgive me, it's my fault, but I made you think of such a disgusting suggestion." Osamu Dazai With a sullen face and loud disgust, he pushed you away and jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door, "I'm going to find a beautiful river and die quickly. As for Xiao Fujiang, just stay in the cage and dream."

With that said, the door slammed shut behind him.

***

He left his coat on the ground.

You took a few steps forward, leaned over and picked up the long black coat with a wrinkled hem, and put it on the sofa.

Let someone take it to wash later.You think it still smells of blood and gunpowder smoke.

***

You think that although Ogai Mori is not likable compared to other literary giants you have met, he is much more lovable than other paranoid control freaks in your experience.

At least he won't frantically grab your skirt and scream, won't hold your photo or hair and show a silly smile, and won't suddenly jump up and stab you for no reason, or cut off a piece of flesh from you Hold it and turn around and run away.

Even if it is a copper smelting addiction recognized by the high-level Hong Kong gangsters, he has never shown you any burning eyes mixed with desire.On the contrary, he gave you a lot of personal space, nothing will come to you, and he didn't install surveillance and bugs in your current study and bedroom.

It can be said that I respect you very much.

Of course, the big reason for the last point is because you are his accomplice, you, him, Osamu Dazai, and maybe Alice, the conversation between you may not know when it will appear, it is not suitable for others to hear Naturally, the content cannot be recorded by the machine.

So you can feel free to confess to Dazai-sensei affectionately here-of course it was a confession just now, but it was rejected again.

Or, is it to escape?

But it doesn't matter.You curled the corners of your mouth, and you were still very happy.

***

For the next few days, Osamu Dazai did not show up.You didn't ask specifically, but Alice took the initiative to say a few words to you.In short, the matter about the ancestors has been resolved. In addition, it seems that by the way, the incident about the bombing of Mortar Street eight years ago has been resolved.After listening to a few sentences, you will know that Mori Ogai has no intention of letting you know the truth at all—what he wants to tell you through Alice's mouth is that although Osamu Dazai suffered serious injuries, his life is not in danger. You will be able to bounce around in a few days, so don't worry too much.

You chuckle inwardly, it seems that whether he believes in your ability or not, he seems to have really listened to your threat.

However, who knows if Mori Ogai's "look" is true?

It is another news that makes you more interested. In this incident, the spy identity of the quasi-cadre Lan Tang promoted by Mori Ogai was exposed. He is a supernatural spy from Europe. His real name is Arthur Rimbaud , the ability is [color painting collection].The one who defeated and killed him was none other than the [King of Sheep] you saw earlier, Nakahara Chuya who was acting with Osamu Dazai at that time.

According to PortMafia's custom, the spy's body will be displayed in public for a week.After that, they will probably be cremated and buried in a deserted cemetery without a name.

I don't know if anyone will go to worship him?

[I fasten bell towers together with ropes; I hang garlands from window to window; I tie gold chains to the stars to bind them together; and I dance. 】*

Light the manuscript paper, and you watch the verses in your memory being burned to ashes by the flames as before.You think, the Central Plains also killed Rimbaud, which is really amazing. **

***

Then, another month passed.

Osamu Dazai is still missing.The Ango Sakaguchi you saw earlier was caught.Probably because of the affection of more than 2 million yen, Ogai Mori even took you to meet people in person.You sat on the chair behind the leader's desk, looking at the pale young man in front of you.He was wearing a brand new white shirt and black trousers, which looked like they had just been tidied up in a hurry. Inside the white shirt was a clear outline of bandages, and there were neat creases on the front.

This is the Ango Sakaguchi of this world.He looks like he's just in his early 20s, with a thin body and a regular face, wearing a pair of round-frame glasses. He doesn't look like a fanatic who would put his ideas into PortMafia's wallet. On the contrary, he is quiet and low-key, like a new civil servant or someone Young scholar at the university.

However, ordinary civil servants and scholars don't have his composure. Even if they are pointed at by a few guns in the chief's office, they can remain neither humble nor overbearing when facing you and Mori Ogai.

"Because it was your order, Boss, so I stopped when I found out that it was Ango-kun," Mori Ogai explained thoughtfully when he saw you noticed the bandages, "And Ango-kun cooperated very well, so it was only a slight injury , no injuries."

Because it is in front of outsiders, so he treats you respectfully.

"That's good." You nodded, and said the universal lines of improvisation very cooperatively, "So Ango-kun, have you thought about it?"

"Yes, Ango-kun is very grateful for your kindness." Mori Ogai smiled and turned to look at the young man, "Right? Ango-kun?"

"Yes." The young man spoke, his voice was flat, but it seemed all the more real because of it. "The previous incident was all due to my youthful ignorance and arrogance. I am grateful for your grace of not killing me! Although I am not capable of fighting, I still have some experience in finance and bookkeeping," he took a deep breath , as if rehearsed in advance, knelt down on one knee in a very neat posture, and lowered his head towards you.

"Please allow me to join PortMafia to atone for past mistakes."

——Oh, so Mori Ogai chose this script?

You looked at the young man who bowed his head, and then at Mori Ogai who was standing aside, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and blinked.

***

"So, Ango-kun also has some amazing abilities?"

Someone sent Ango Sakaguchi away, you raised your head and asked Mori Ogai.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Mr. Mori looks happy."

He stretched out his hand and pulled you off the chair behind the leader's desk, squinting his eyes and smiling, "Miss really understands me better and better."

"Because Mr. Mori didn't intend to hide it." You stepped aside obediently, "What kind of supernatural power is it?"

"Guess?"

"That's the supernatural power that you can't tell me." You nodded and stopped asking.

It was Mori Ogai who picked up the topic, "But Miss's premonition is getting stronger and stronger."

"Premonition?"

"You can distinguish people with supernatural powers just by their names, and I haven't missed them so far."

"No, it has nothing to do with the name. It's just a pure coincidence."

"really?"

"Of course." You rolled your eyes inwardly, it's boring, and it's the topic of the car again, "If you're worried, Mr. Sen can ask anyone to do a lie test for me. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"No." Unexpectedly, Mori Ogai shook his head and laughed, "Ango-kun is just incidental. In fact, the purpose of finding Missy today is to introduce another person to you."

Your eyes widened in surprise—the smile on Mori Ogai's face is completely different from what you have seen so far, //There is no mystery and no unfathomable//, neither hypocrisy nor sinister Cold,//that's what humans show when they're happy//, a normal smile.

With such a smile, he raised his voice: "Mr. Zhongye, come in."

The door opened and a man wearing a black soft hat walked in.
