Cthulhu Grocery Store

As Christmas approaches, there are significantly more pedestrians on the streets.

God Dai Wugu doesn’t even need to keep track of the date, he knows how many days until Christmas – because the surrounding shops can’t wait to put the countdown and discount activities to the maximum, and the worst thing is that they often add the label of “Couple Special Offer” .

Kamidai Wuko, who has no girlfriend and no one to spend Christmas with: ... Thank you, I have been excluded.

In this kind of family reunion celebration festival, the most common thing God Dai Wugu does is to silently buy enough food in the convenience store for a few days, and then shut himself at home and don’t go anywhere, so as not to be vulnerable to the festive atmosphere outside little heart.

But now that the store is open, we should look at holidays with the mentality of the store manager, right?Maybe it's a good opportunity to make money, just to save the almost hopeless running water or something.

Shendai Wugu had a good plan, and when he looked up at the products sold in the store, nine out of ten of the motivation that had finally been raised in his heart disappeared.

Forget it, forget it, this kind of store doesn't seem to be able to attract popularity even if it organizes activities.

You can't let the young lovers come in and pick out toys from childhood to recall their childhood.

On the night of Christmas Eve, Kamidai Kiriko was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, with the heater turned on in the store, watching the snowy weather outside.

The neon lights outside the store criss-crossed each other, shining on the faces of passers-by, and Kamdai Wugu looked at the throngs of people outside the store, breathing sourly.

The only clerk in the store, he also kindly let him go back for Christmas Eve, and there was no one in the store except him at this time.

All the excitement belongs to others, and I have nothing.

Shendai Wugu sighed, and decided to close the shop early and go home to enjoy the fire. Now only the kotatsu can warm his heart.

After closing the store, putting on a coat and a scarf, Komyoko went to the convenience store to buy a box of hot oden. The cold wind outside made him shrink his neck, and trot home.

When he ran back to his room, he subconsciously glanced at Uncle Chuanping's house, and found a faint light in the door. After hesitating for a while, he returned to his room.

As soon as he opened the door, the lights suddenly turned on brightly, and the sound of the streamers spraying out frightened Kamidai Wugu, who was stunned, with a few streamers scattered on his black hair.

"...I don't think it's my birthday today?"

"It's a Christmas party." Bai Lan answered his doubts with a smile.

Kamidai Wugu glanced at the people in the room, Saiki, Rokudoku, Prynne, Lovecraft, and Fyodor whom he had known before.

"How did you get in?" Shendai Wugu couldn't help but said, but the corners of his mouth were curled up.

"Do you remember the last time we broke in when you were sick?" Liudao Mukuo finished the setting with a smile, "The door didn't seem to be working last time, we walked in as soon as we pushed it open."

"Really?" Shendai Wugu just asked casually, but he didn't really pay attention to it, because he obviously saw the delicious food piled up on the dining table, "Oh, did you have a premeditated plan?"

"Yeah," Bai Lan said with a smile, "We don't have anyone else to spend Christmas with anyway."

Liudaokuo and Bailan are both Italians, while Fyodor seems to be Russian.

Seeing Kamidai Kiriko looking over, Fyodor smiled gracefully: "I'm staying in Japan for the time being, and I'm here to disturb you at night."

Shendai Wugu didn't know Fyodor's true nature, and always thought he was a friend of Liu Dao Mu, and also responded with a friendly smile: "It's okay, more people will be more lively."

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there are foreigners here except him and Qi Mu!

It feels like there are a lot of foreigners around him suddenly!

At this moment, Shendai Wugu suddenly remembered something, and quietly asked Bai Lan: "Is Uncle Chuanping still at home?"

Bai Lan tilted her head: "Yes, do you want to call him?"

Shindai Wugu nodded.

Bai Lan thought to herself that she had communicated with Uncle Chuanping about Saiki's plan before, but he was not interested, and he didn't seem to want to participate. It is estimated that there would be no effect even if the god Dai Wugu was gone.

But he didn't express his inner thoughts, instead he said with a smile: "Then let's ask him if he wants to join our Christmas party, maybe Uncle Chuanping is just shy."

……

In fact, as soon as Wugu and the others left in the age of God, Chuanping already knew their actions. His attention was always on the next door, and the wall could not cause any hindrance to the ceiling powerhouse in this world.

Therefore, Chuanping was ready to say no before the god Dai Wugu arrived at the door.

Bai Lan told him about Qi Mu's plan and Qi Mu's existence.

Chuanping was of course surprised that there is still a great god hidden on the earth, and he has also met Qi Mu himself and learned about his superpowers. This veteran powerhouse can only lament the miracle of life or something.

But to be honest, Qi Mu's plan, he is not very optimistic.

Is the loneliness of God really something that can be alleviated by man?

Chuanping has a pessimistic attitude towards this, but it will not prevent the juniors from actively saving themselves, anyway, there will be no hindrance.

He's just... a little tired of dealing with the Outer Gods.

In the long past, Chuanping fell into a state of autism for a long time after the death of his clansmen. After finally accepting that the remaining clansmen were only him and Youni who would continue to reincarnate, he also accepted their clan's long-lasting life. Change the remaining tasks.

Guard the cornerstone of the world, supervise the god Dai Wugu, and ensure his eternal sleep.

It is easy for people to go to extremes after being autistic, and Kawahira used to be the same way. After recovering from his fear, he began to be in a subtle state of self-destruction, and chose to be close to the ordinary life of God Dai Wuko.

There is nothing to say about that experience. Chuanping has actually participated in the life of God Dai Wugu in quite a few identities, such as neighbors, friends, childhood friends, teachers, colleagues, and even adoptive fathers.

Of course, most of the endings are that nothing is observed, just watching the look in the eyes of the familiar person become strange again and again in the reincarnation, and then acquaintances with new identities.

In short, he is tired of this boring game.

Will God and man really intersect? The answer is yes, but after the point of intersection, the two lines will never meet again.

So Saiki and the others will fail.

Chuanping was convinced.

'jingle'

When Chuanping recalled the past, the doorbell had already rang. The man with the appearance of a white-haired youth came to his senses and walked over to open the door. The moment the door opened, he saw the snow floating outside the door and the people in the background of the snowy night.

The black-haired, black-eyed boy with an ordinary appearance bent his eyebrows. At this moment, the other party's eternal face overlapped with countless identical faces in the past, and he called him with a smile: "Uncle Chuanping."

Chuanping was in a trance for a moment, a little confused about his identity, is he a neighbor or a friend now?

"Let's celebrate Christmas together." During the few seconds of Kawahira's hesitation, Kindai Kiriko seemed to have misunderstood something, and pulled him out forcefully, "Everyone is waiting for you, come quickly."

Kawahira regained his composure, and was about to refuse, but Kamidai Kiriko had swiftly closed the door of his room.

Chuanping: ...

"Everyone, Kawahira-san is here too." Kidai Kokoro brought the people here, his brows were curved, at this time someone knocked on the door again, and Komoko Konoha went to open the door again, and was surprised to find that it was Nakahara Chuya, Dazai Osamu and before Mori Ogai who met once.

"You are..."

"Ah, it happened that we didn't have a date on Christmas Eve, and I accidentally heard that Chuya was planning to come here, so I followed here without permission, so I won't cause you any trouble, right?" Osamu Dazai completed the ins and outs with a smile.

"Of course you will cause trouble for others, you mackerel!" Nakahara Nakahara said dissatisfiedly, yes, because of Dazai's bad taste, only he and Luofu didn't know the plan proposed by Saiki from the beginning to the end...

So Zhongyuan Zhong also just felt baffled, when did his own boss know God Dai Wugu, and he wanted to go to someone's house with him for a Christmas party, what was even more strange was that this mackerel joined in halfway, and the boss didn't raise any objections

What is this, why does he feel that he is the only one left out!

"Of course not, the more people there are, the more lively it is." Shendai Wugu didn't notice anything at all, he was in a good mood tonight, and he didn't mind such trivial matters at all.

Moreover, Mr. Nakahara and Mr. Dazai are already acquaintances. Mori Ogai generously gave them a cruise ticket before. It is not a problem for everyone to play together.

"Please come in."

"excuse me."

"I'm sorry tonight, Kodai-san." Mori Ogai said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, the more people there are, the more lively it will be." Komiya Kiriko said sincerely, and at the same time couldn't help but look behind Mori Ogai.

Mori Ogai: "...what's wrong?"

"No, it's just a little strange that I didn't see Miss Alice, because I often see the two of you together."

"This..." Mori Ogai's expression turned weird, and he laughed awkwardly, "She's not feeling well today, she's resting at home, don't mind, I'll just bring her a cake when I go back later."

"That's it." Although Shendai Wugu felt a little strange, but after all, it was someone else's housework, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But people who know Mori Ogai's supernatural ability are different. Although Nakahara Nakaya finds it strange, he doesn't go into it. Osamu Dazai, who likes to make troubles, suddenly used his clever little brain and got together with Fyodor. Beside Er: "It should be you who pulled Mr. Sen here."

Fyodor glanced at him: "Yes."

"Did Alice not appear much since then?"

"We've met a few times since then, but what you say seems to be true."

When the two smart men paired the information, the answer naturally emerged. Fyodor didn't feel anything, he knew it when he knew it, and Osamu Dazai, who was keen on cheating his former boss, evoked a meaningful arc.

Mori Ogai, who was communicating with Kindai Kiriko, suddenly felt a chill, how could he feel that someone wanted to harm him.

"Forget about Christmas Eve today." Seeing Osamu Dazai smiling maliciously, Fyodor picked up the cake and reminded him.

"I know." Of course Osamu Dazai would not take the risk of getting killed together, since there are plenty of opportunities anyway.

The crowd was really lively. Lovecraft, Nakahara Chuya and others unconsciously surrounded Shendai Wugu, while Liudaokui and Bailan kept an eye on these two outer gods in case they rescued them at any time. Saiki and Chuanping, the two bright ceilings, muttered in the back, wondering what they were discussing.

Mori Ogai showed the reservedness of an adult, and stood not far or near, so that he would not be ignored, and he did not deliberately grab the attention of God Dai Wugu.

Mafia, Guardians, Terrorists, Believers of Outer Gods, High School Students with Superpowers.

From this point of view, the identities of the people here are quite rich, but when they are in the same space, no matter whether they are intentional or not, caring or simply guarding, their eyes will always focus on one person.

It's like planets orbiting the sun.

Osamu Dazai laughed at his own imagination, but thinking about it carefully, the association is quite reliable. If you get close, you will be burned, but if you stay away, you will be blessed. Everything in the world exists based on him, and it may also be destroyed because of him.

Fyodor felt Osamu Dazai's gaze, pulled his eyes away from the cake, and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, I just think it's amazing." Osamu Dazai picked up his wine glass, which contained a gift brought by Mori Ogai. Considering that most of the people who came here were underage children, they brought fruit wine with low alcohol content, Dazai Zhi's iris-colored eyes stared at the golden wine through the light, his expression blurred, "Spending Christmas Eve with these people is a picture that I have never thought of before."

After hearing the words, Fyodor also looked at God Dai Wugu, and agreed: "Indeed, I never thought that there would be a day when I would live in peace with Dazai-kun."

"Pfft, let's live in peace." Osamu Dazai repeated his words in an unclear manner, suddenly looking sleepy, "Well, it's just on the surface."

"How do you say that?"

"You can also see that even if you use the threat of the outer gods as a righteous cause to twist the guardian and the believer together, but a creature like a human will never change its bad nature." Osamu Dazai rested his chin, "For example Mr. Sen, who was forcefully pulled in by you, is probably thinking more about how to balance the power of the believers and the guardian group than the threat of the outer gods, and he is trying to let the three parties reach a relatively safe check and balance."

"He probably became distorted when he became a believer, but he also gained some power, but after seeing Saiki and Kawahira of the guardian group, he felt that he was out of control. After all, Mr. , is better at fighting with people, and of course he will listen to your advice under reasonable conditions, but there are also a lot of small tricks in private, especially when he thinks he has the card of Zhongye in the Central Plains, and he will probably linger in the future This is the act of playing with the sense of presence in front of the God of the Age of God."

After Osamu Dazai drank a little wine, he became more talkative, and after a few slaps, the bottom of his former boss was revealed.

Fyodor looked at him silently: "Why did you tell me this?"

"Come on, even if I don't tell you, you won't be able to guess?" Osamu Dazai laughed at him, "This is just... just a simple chat, because I am very free."

"Small chat," Fyodor did not deny the word, "then why are you looking for me?"

"If you have to say it, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy, right?" Osamu Dazai said indifferently, "You really want to stop the Outer God, I can see the reason, whether it's your boring self-esteem It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you want to compete with the Outer Gods."

His iris-colored eyes revealed an astonishing indifference: "To be honest, I don't even care."

"Whether this world is destroyed or not has nothing to do with me."

Fyodor didn't speak, he knew there was a follow-up, otherwise there was no need for this person to say so much to him.

"However," Osamu Dazai's expression relaxed a little, the corners of his lips seemed to rise for a second, but he didn't seem to, "If the world is destroyed, the last trace of that person will disappear, I don't want that."

"..."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm just here to chat with you. It's a wonderful feeling to be in the same space with you safely. You can encounter all kinds of strange things when you're alive." Osamu Dazai picked up his cup, " Merry Christmas."

Fyodor froze for a moment, then raised his glass and touched him lightly: "Merry Christmas."

It is indeed strange.

People here have different positions, different camps, different identities, and different beliefs, and there is only one reason to bring them together.

That is Wugu on the Age of Gods.

Like this experience, maybe there will never be a second time in life.

Fyodor joked: "Maybe the world will end in the next moment."

"Hey~ I don't want it, anyway, it's too bad to spend the last Christmas with you, at least I need a beautiful young lady." Osamu Dazai shrugged, and also responded with a joke.

Just finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside

"Tuk Tuk"

The noise in the room gradually diminished.

Shendai Wugu looked in the direction of the door with a strange expression: "Hey, are there any guests coming today? Here we come~"

Chuanping looked at Qi Mu subconsciously, an inexplicable premonition brewed in his mind, and his heart was pounding.

Qi Mu's eyes turned cross-eyed at some point, looking in the direction of the door.

'Eh, I can't see... No, no, stop him quickly! '

That's too late.

Shendai Wugu opened the door, and there stood a dark-skinned man with a big smile...

Santa Claus?

"surprise!"
