On the Feasibility of Chefs Saving the World

Qing Huai fell into a chaotic resonance, as if thousands of insects were drilling holes in his eardrums, rubbing out a strange tone with the sound drums of their abdomen, the membranes of their wings, or even their sharp teeth.

[Drip...drip...beep beep...]

[BZB-01 sound waves detected]

[Detected the resonance phenomenon of the guardian]

【blocked】

The system's wave-free electronic audio rescued him from the sound waves of insects, and the tormenting resonance disappeared completely.

Qinghuai's forehead hair was all wet with sweat, and strands of hair stuck to her forehead like leeches huddled together.

His skin revealed a fragile bluish-white layer in the dark kitchen, and the veins along his cheeks and into his neck were the sequelae of the sound waves, which were slowly disappearing.

Osamu Dazai touched Qinghuai's forehead cautiously, feeling cold sweat.He took the young man into his arms, and stroked his back with his palms, like stroking a stray cat soaked by rain.

Qing Huai breathed a sigh of relief in the familiar smell.

"I'm fine." His voice was hoarse.

That palpitating change appeared at the moment of the earthquake, and he didn't come back to his senses. Immediately afterwards, he was overwhelmed by a kind of incomprehensible fear, as if falling into the northernmost sea water, and the ice made his body stiff , but the limbs exude deadly heat.

It's like hanging your hands outside in winter. It's clearly terribly cold, but your fingertips are red and burnt.

Qing Huai touched the corner of Dazai Osamu's lips with his red-hot fingertips.

"Is it hot?"

"It's obviously freezing to death."

Osamu Dazai held his fingertips and kissed him on the lips.

"The face is too." The man stared at the young man, "You look like a corpse just dug out of a cement filling machine." He didn't know how tense his voice sounded when he was trying to make a joke.

"The corpse is still hugged so tightly... Dazai-kun, you seem to have a special hobby." Qinghuai smiled lowly, and kissed the man's nose again, now it's him who comforts this seemingly heavenly man A bandage boyfriend who is not afraid.

——The boyfriend's lip line is much softer than it looks.

Qinghuai remembered the octopus in yesterday's dream again.

As his eyes adjusted to the dimness, the sound of rain outside became clear, followed by sirens, horns, and wheels splashing through puddles.

"What happened outside?"

"It might be a car accident...it's the easiest time to have an accident." Osamu Dazai still stared at Qinghuai closely, trying to find any signs of weakness from his face, and then stuffed him under the quilt openly, forbidding him go out.

"Don't be so nervous, Dazai-kun." Qing Huai said helplessly, "I'm really fine, I was just scared—"

chirp.

The soft lips came closer to touch again.

"I'm not nervous." The man said stiffly.

"That..." Another voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Qing Huai leaned against Osamu Dazai in shock, only to realize that this was the classmate Knotweed that she had stuffed under the cooking table before.

He dullly realized that he seemed to have kissed Dazai several times in front of the boy just now, and was so embarrassed that he almost tore off the collar of the man's windbreaker.

This appearance made Osamu Dazai relax a lot, because the evil factors in his body were causing trouble, and his mouth was full of bad words that deserved to be beaten.

"It doesn't seem to have a good effect to take off your clothes in front of classmate Hu Zhang."

Qinghuai: ...

Knotweed Yuren: ...

Well, now he finally understood where the weird atmosphere he felt when he entered the izakaya today came from.

I finally understood why the collar of the boss's shirt was narrow and tight, and he was unwilling to undo the top button.

I also realized what kind of "soul intertwining" nonsense the two-faced Su Nuo was talking about just now...

It turns out that the boss and Mr. Dazai have such a relationship!

He looked at the hands naturally on the boss's waist, fastened in a very possessive way, and the atmosphere was so weird that he wanted to run away.

"You can go to your classmates." Osamu Dazai smiled, and began to drive out the light bulbs without any concealment.

"Um... ah good!"

Knotweed Youruhito ran away, his back was almost the same as that of a certain orange-haired cadre last time.

The noise on the street was even louder, and someone exclaimed.

"Something went wrong, I'll go check it out."

"Oh." Only then did Osamu Dazai reluctantly let go of the young man, and regretfully rubbed against his earlobe.

It's a little brighter outside than inside, but not much better.

The blue-gray sky was pressing down, and the rain was not in the slightest. People were like earthworms drilled out of the mud, poking their heads under the eaves, discussing the accident that happened at the intersection.

A black car broke the street lamp, the front of the car was sunken, the front window was riddled with holes, and it was completely deformed.The rut crushed a dark mark and dragged it for a hundred meters from the street, shorting out the public electricity for the entire street.

The police car flashed red and blue lights, and the siren was off.Several police officers in black raincoats surrounded the middle of the intersection, cordoned off the culprit who caused the traffic accident.

It's a raised rock.

Looking from a distance, I thought it was a black skeleton soaked by rain, which suddenly plunged into the ground obliquely, crushing the newly paved asphalt and leaving white marks of cobwebs on it.

"...The cement below was cracked, there is nothing to make a fuss about, it's scattered, don't watch..."

The police officer in the middle waved a strong flashlight and began to drive away the crowd.

"It's a wormhole." The young man smelled the sweet smell wafting from the rain curtain, and his eyelashes were wet by the thick water vapor in the air.

The Alliance misjudged that the wormhole was not only underground, but also in the sky.The rain was mixed with the smell of insect eggs, and it poured down, as if it was going to drown the whole of Yokohama.

In Genesis, Jehovah rained on the earth for 150 days and nights, and the flood flooded the world for [-] days, and all living things outside the ark were wiped out.

Qing Huai stared at the rock skeleton standing on the ground.

An absurd illusion emerged in my heart.

As if the sun was swallowed up, he was chased by huge shadows, escaped in the grass and dead branches, pulled his toes out of the mud, crushed the dried carcasses of rats—

"Qing Huai." A dry and warm hand pulled him back from the grotesque fantasies, "It's just a car accident."

"...The situation of the people in the car doesn't look good." The young man shook off the fairy tales in his mind and stared ahead.

Half of the front of the car was smashed into a pile of scrap iron, and there was almost no movement in the dark car windows.

Osamu Dazai glanced at the license plate, "It's okay, he will be fine."

"he?--"

The car door was pried open a crack, to be precise, it should have been cut open, the black cloth blade sawed off the entire alloy door, and a young man with black and white gradient hair came out, his face was ugly as hell.

He pulled out a black umbrella from the remains of the car door and propped it above his head, his dark eyes glanced at the rain curtain.

"Jiechuan?" Qing Huai paused, "Why did he come here?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pushed aside a group of policemen and walked straight to the izakaya.

"Mr. Dazai, Qing... Huai." He coughed, feeling a little uncomfortable to call his peers by their first names, "Good afternoon."

"Good day, Akutagawa." Qinghuai looked away from the raised stone, looking uneasy.

"In such a hurry, it seems that there is new news?" Osamu Dazai raised his eyebrows, "Car accidents of this level are rare."

"..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke was speechless, and put away the umbrella under the eaves.

The ash-smeared rainwater flowed down the umbrella ribs and wet his trousers. He didn't seem to notice it, and turned his head to think about something.

"There is information." He said, avoiding the inhuman ridicule of his former teacher, "It was originally collected two days ago, and those brats said you were not here."

They went inside and kept the moisture out.

The police lights were still on, and when they turned around the glass window, they dyed the faces of everyone into a terrible color.

The high school students had turned on the emergency lights proficiently. They were drinking Coke with straws in their mouths at the bar, but their eyes were fixed on the three people who just came in from the door, looking a little nervous.

Gojo Satoru didn't know where he went.

"Is it an earthquake?" Qinghuai recalled that during the round table meeting, Aina said that there were simultaneous earthquakes in three places in Japan.

"It seems that you all know—" Akutagawa Ryunosuke glanced at the other strange faces in the izakaya, and remained silent.

"They're all my own people." Osamu Dazai dispelled his worries.

"Just after the earthquake," the young man inserted the umbrella into the recycling bin at the door, and said again, "some strange people appeared in Yokohama." He took out a brown paper bag from his large black trench coat and put it on the table.

Qinghuai took it and took it apart, the light of the emergency light was not bright, and there was a shadow on the paper, and it was barely possible to see what was on it.

There are two photos and some information in the bag.

Osamu Dazai put his arm on his right side, his left hand rested naturally on Qinghuai's back, and bent down to study with him.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned his head and glanced.

The first photo is a blurred portrait, like a junior high school boy wearing a school uniform, wearing a peaked cap whose face cannot be seen clearly, seems to be holding a tennis racket or badminton racket in his hand, standing far away on the continuous highway superior.

这张照片看起来应该是路口的监控摄像机截图，时间为4月19日晚间20点34分，上次地震后的4分钟。

According to the data behind the photo, the boy appeared on the road out of thin air. The entire surveillance camera was blurred at the moment of the earthquake, and when it became clear again, the boy was photographed.

The Department of Transportation originally thought that he had been abandoned by a car, so they immediately brought him back for questioning, and found that the boy was also very confused, as if he didn't even know he was in Yokohama.

"We kidnapped people back before the Supernatural Secret Service Division and the Detective Agency." Akutagawa Ryunosuke described the kidnapping lightly, as if he was inviting friends home after school. Clever, I can’t get any useful information out——Higuchi checked his sportswear, and found that the only school in Japan with clothes similar to his was a sports girls’ high school, and it was in the mountains of Kanagawa Prefecture.”

Qing Huai frowned, and opened the second photo.

It is a blond-haired teenager standing on the steel cable at the top of the River Bend Bridge without any safety measures, but in the photo it looks like he is walking on the ground.

This picture was also taken by surveillance. The time shows that it was 19:20 p.m. on the 36th, and it also appeared out of thin air behind the blurred screen.

"This was found in the computer of the Transportation Department when the first person was kidnapped." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said, "We copied all the images of Yokohama before and after the earthquake for analysis, and there was no clue."

"That blond boy has a strange figure and seems to have special abilities. He is as cunning as a loach. Even Mr. Zhongyuan couldn't catch him." He took out a transparent PVC evidence bag from his pocket and handed it to Qinghuai. , "This is the only residue left on him."

"This isn't..." Qinghuai looked closer, and there was a diamond-shaped sharp tool with a ring in his pocket, which anyone with a little understanding of Japanese culture could recognize, "Is this Kunai?"

Kunai is a shuriken hidden weapon commonly used by Japanese ninjas. In traditional Japanese stories, those shadows with hidden figures will use Kunai to fly over walls to protect or assassinate a certain power.

Osamu Dazai took the thing out of the bag, touched the tip of the water chestnut lightly with his fingertips, and a hole was cut.

"It's very sharp." The man seemed to feel no pain, and there was a little excitement in his eyes. "That guy is definitely a real ninja—I haven't seen a living ninja in Japan for many years!"

"It sounds like you are an uncle who has lived for more than 40 years." Qinghuai grabbed his finger, saw that only a layer of skin was torn, gave him a threatening look, and put Kunai in Akutagawa's bewildered eyes Put it back in the bag.

"Sorry." Osamu Dazai snorted aggrievedly, and wanted to rub Qinghuai's head, but was slapped down mercilessly.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke:?

"I heard that ninjas with high skills can indeed walk on the thin wire." Osamu Dazai compared the photos, "In my impression, they should be shadows standing in the corner wearing black masks, but I didn't expect them to look so Lively."

"Ah." Akutagawa Ryunosuke dryly responded, and glanced at Mr. Dazai's hand rubbing the back of Qing Huai's neck with some concern.

Qinghuai looked through the documents again, and had a vague guess in her heart——

"I guess, the system has said before that if the collection of dimensional worlds is compared to an infinite onion skin, each dimension is a small cell, and BZB-01 is eating away at the cell wall—that is, the dimensional wall. A damaged wormhole was formed." Qing Huai said, "Then if the wormholes between the two cell walls are docked, will there be a phenomenon of cytoplasmic exchange?"

"—That is to say, some people in the two worlds inadvertently passed through the wormhole and came to other worlds." Qinghuai tapped her fingertips on the two surveillance photos, "If the two earthquakes are caused by the dimension The collapse phenomenon caused by the expansion of the wormhole on the wall can explain why strange people suddenly appeared within a few minutes after the earthquake."

"So the wormhole mentioned by the alliance is not only a literal meaning, but also a physical meaning..." Qing Huai, an illiterate high school dropout, suddenly got stuck, "Well, it's like the movie "Interstellar"..."

Osamu Dazai went on tacitly, "Einstein hypothesized that "wormholes" are thin space-time tubes connecting distant regions of the universe①, through which one can travel between dimensions and time without limit.Here we can call it dimension crossing. Once someone stood at the mouth of a crumbling wormhole before the earthquake, it is very likely that they will be exchanged to another dimension at the moment of energy fluctuations. "

Akutagawa Ryunosuke knew nothing about the alliance's intelligence, and listened silently to the discussion between Osamu Dazai and Qinghuai.

His attention was actually not on what they were discussing, he pursed his lips and stared at the two with complicated eyes.

——Why do the conversations have to be so close together, almost... pasted together.

He was taken aback by a bold idea that emerged in his heart, and turned his head abruptly.

— Absolutely impossible!Did Mr. Dazai ever have so many confidante who were not yet in love... Absolutely impossible!

"Wormholes are expanding." Qing Huai put forward a terrifying hypothesis, "Not only in Yokohama, but also in Tokyo, Kyoto, and even the whole of Japan, as long as there are wormholes, there will be the possibility of dimension replacement!"

"Not only that." Osamu Dazai's eyes flickered, "Think about it, when a character from a high-dimensional world enters a low-dimensional world, what would he do?"

Qinghuai took a deep breath.

"Looking at the worst scenario, a vicious supernatural violent element has joined the ordinary people who have no power to restrain them." The man stopped talking and rubbed Qinghuai's upturned hair.

"Boss, it seems that we don't have time to rest at all." He stood up, turned his head and said to the high school students, "Contact your people in charge of the magic circle in Tokyo and Kyoto, and start investigating immediately from the evening of April 4th." All the abnormalities from 19:20 onwards are much more troublesome than any special curse you think."

The man's side face was hidden in the groggy darkness, announcing the last bad news——

"What we are facing is the collapse of the whole world."
